Mazra’s Giantslayer Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Mazra

I moved Kaos a total of 30 feet through the sludge.

The Intruder dislikes Dwarves. She dislikes Humans even more. She sends a cluster of arrows at Kaos. We have a new pincushion.

Intruder's Longbow Rapid Shot 1, Deadly Aim, Favorite Enemy: 1d20 + 13 - 2 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 13 - 2 - 2 + 4 = 221d8 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 4 = 6

Intruder's Longbow Rapid Shot 2, Deadly Aim, Favorite Enemy: 1d20 + 13 - 2 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 13 - 2 - 2 + 4 = 321d8 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 4 = 11

Intruder's Longbow Second Base Attack with Rapid Shot and Deadly Aim Penalty, Favorite Enemy: 1d20 + 8 - 2 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 2 - 2 + 4 = 251d8 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 4 = 7

Kaos takes 24 points of damage.

Kaos should have taken a double move.

30 feet is a double move through the sludge.

Anga trudges forward 10 feet, muttering we get fights in the most disgusting of places. This is nay anygood for mah boots.

Anga casts a different spell, since the magic missiles fizzled

scorching ray: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20touch

damage: 4d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 4) + 2 = 15

Need Ragnir's action. Haskyll, you can change your action if you wish, in light of the Intruder's actions.

Ragnir moves forward, following Kaos and Ulfgard, and again a pulse of energy comes from his holy symbol. "Torag, if'n ye'd be so kind as to make sure this spell works, I'd appreciate it." He looks at the archer. "Cease fire.

Forbid Action attack DC 15 *steals Mazra's good dice before the save roll*

Yes, in this case, I will move up slightly instead, and call upon healing to get both Kaos, and Ulfgard.

channel: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6

Round Two Recap

The Intruder turns Kaos into a pincushion.  (Think Boromir.)

Haskyll moves up and channels divine healing toward Kaos and Ulfgard.

GMPC Ulfgard continue to advance behind Kaos.

Kaos moves forward avoiding a trap along the way.

Anga sends a searing ray of flame at the Intruder. You hear a cry of pain from the bow side of the bilge.

Ragnar calls forth a spell intended to halt the Intruder's actions, but the Intruder resists it's effects.

Intruder's Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

DM has the hot dice. :(

Intruder 27 (AC? ?-15/?)
Haskyll 19 (AC17/16 25/25)
Ulfgard 15 (AC18 32/54)
Kaos 13 (AC17(21) 23/41)
Anga 9 (AC17 25/25)
Ragnir 5 (AC22 33/33)

Round Three

Feeling the sting of the Scorching Ray, the vengeful Intruder with even greater determination continues to fire a barrage of arrows.

Intruder's Longbow Rapid Shot 1, Deadly Aim, Favorite Enemy vs Kaos: 1d20 + 13 - 2 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 13 - 2 - 2 + 4 = 331d8 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 4 = 8

Intruder's Longbow Rapid Shot 1, Deadly Aim, Favorite Enemy Confirm Crit vs Kaos: 1d20 + 13 - 2 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 13 - 2 - 2 + 4 = 322d8 + 2 + 8 ⇒ (7, 2) + 2 + 8 = 19

The next arrow pierces Kaos' armor and lodges deep into his chest. The big Human slumps over unconscious into the muck and sludge.

Kaos takes 27 points of damage.

Intruder's Longbow Rapid Shot 2, Deadly Aim, Favorite Enemy vs Ulfgard: 1d20 + 13 - 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 13 - 2 - 2 + 2 = 251d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9

Intruder's Longbow Second Base Attack with Rapid Shot & Deadly Aim penalty, plus Favorite Enemy vs Ulfgard: 1d20 + 8 - 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 2 - 2 + 2 = 261d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 2 = 10

Intruder's Longbow Second Base Attack with Rapid Shot & Deadly Aim penalty, plus Favorite Enemy Confirm Crit vs Ulfgard: 1d20 + 8 - 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 2 - 2 + 2 = 92d8 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3) + 2 + 4 = 10

Dropping the one in the lead, the Intruder continues to fire her arrows. Ulfgard takes the next two arrows.

Ulfgard takes 29 points of damage. DMs dice are really hot. :( :(

I see Ragnirs dice theft didn't work. :(
Round 3

Haskyll moves up beside Kaos. Torag, don't let these servants of yours down.
channel: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10

I only count it as 19 on ulfgard. the crit confirm didn't go unless ulfgard is not wearing armour as it only hit AC 9 ??

I did double move twice now? Shouldn´t I be very close to the enemy? 2x15x2=60 feet.Especially as it seems as if there is a decent path in the middle. Well if not I am dead!

@Ulfgard - Your previous post indicated you were moving behind Kaos. In the sludge and muck it cost 10 feet to move 5 feet. Are you taking a double move past Kaos this round?

Edit:Round One Kaos moves ahead casting a shield spell (15 actual feet). Round Two double move 30 more feet for a total of 45 actual feet moved. Forty along the walkway for Kaos, who was initially behind you and then moved ahead. This is just the third round.

I only count it as 19 on ulfgard. the crit confirm didn't go unless ulfgard is not wearing armour as it only hit AC 9 ??

I must have misread it. You are right Ulgard took 19 points not 29 points. Always appreciate the assist.

Can Ulfgard double move close to the enemy. If no he will grab a potion and wait till Ragnir moves before him, as Ragnir is better armored.

You can move 6 squares in the current round. That would put you 15 feet short of reaching the enemy.

Ugly,ugly encounter. Downright.. filthy! ;-)
"Ragnir come closer. You are better armored!"

Kaos!
Anga moves another bit closer (five feet)

Her eyes flare as she looses a ray at the malicous archer!

scortching ray: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 = 11 touch

damage: 4d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3, 5, 1) + 2 = 14

someone help him. He'll drown

This is hands-down one of the best defences I have seen in an AP so far for a single creature encounter. It is two challenge ratings over your level.

its a nasty target.

The toughest fights make the best stories.

I am working on getting to him, and yes, it is nasty. Kaos, what is your HP at right now ?

Ragnir charges past his friends to take up the forefront Is the wood path in the middle clear of the bilge?

The wood plank walkway is two feet deep in muck and is a double move per square. The AP doesn't say what it is like off the five-foot-wide path. So I am treating it as four times movement if off the five-foot-wide path. Like I said, she has a good setup defensively.

Ragnir charges past his friends to take up the forefront Is the wood path in the middle clear of the bilge?

You are right on the square.

As Ragnir pushes he way along the bilge walkway, he comes across yet another trap.

Kaos was at -4 until Haskyll's Channel brought him up to +6. Kaos is conscious and can pull himself out of the muck.

Kaos will get to his feet and drink a potion. cure light: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Back up to 9 look out. Just a flesh wound.

The Intruder is lethal with a bow. Her next arrow critically strikes Kaos. Kaos falls into the muck and sludge.

The next two arrows strike Ulfgard, but the Dwarf withstood the injuries.

Haskyll moves up next to Kaos and channels more healing energies.

Kaos pulls himself out of the muck and drinks a potion.

Anga sends again a Scorching Ray at the Intruder. The Dwarf Mage slips in the muck and misses her attack. The ray strikes the wood door, but the wet door does not set fire.

Ragnir pushes ahead of the party. He encounters yet another trap hidden under the muck. But the Dwarf Warpriest manages to avoid the peril.

Ragnir's Reflex Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Intruder 27 (AC? ?-15/?)
Haskyll 19 (AC17/16 25/25)
Ulfgard 15 (AC18 23/54)
Kaos 13 (AC17(21) 13/41)
Anga 9 (AC17 25/25)
Ragnir 5 (AC22 33/33)

The Intruder fires at the lead Dwarf. She curses as her first shot misses. The second one wings Ragnir. The third deflects off the Dwarf's armor.

Intruder's Longbow Rapid Shot 1, Deadly Aim, Favorite Enemy vs Ragnir: 1d20 + 13 - 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 13 - 2 - 2 + 2 = 151d8 + 1 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 4 + 2 = 15

Intruder's Longbow Rapid Shot 2, Deadly Aim, Favorite Enemy vs Ragnir: 1d20 + 13 - 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 13 - 2 - 2 + 2 = 221d8 + 1 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 4 + 2 = 12

Intruder's Longbow Second Attack, Deadly Aim and Rapid Shot penalty, Favorite Enemy vs Ragnir: 1d20 + 8 - 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 - 2 - 2 + 2 = 111d8 + 1 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 4 + 2 = 11

Ragnir takes 12 points of damage.

Anga, trudging ten feet foreward, starts to cast a familiar spell as an orb of flame and molten earth forms in her hands. She hurls at the intruder, yelling fire in the hole!

molten orb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 touch

damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 2 = 8 and catch on fire avoid with full round action and DC 16 reflex save. If it misses roll as a splash weapon miss

Anga struck, winged ya

Ragnir continues to press the man, raising his shield up in front of him, and moving through the muck "Now ye gone and done it ya blaggart. Ye put a nick in me new armor. Methinks I'll be payin' ye back by puttin' a nick in yer skull, unless ye surrender, NOW!" Ragnir roars the last at the man.

Fighting full defense, so not sure how far forward I can move in the muck. Should raise my AC to 24 though.

Following in ragnirs shadow ulfgard slowly so slowly comes nearer to the other ranger

Kaos will go into a defensive posture and start moving forward.
13/41hp 23ac

Fighting full defense, so not sure how far forward I can move in the muck. Should raise my AC to 24 though.

Full Defense is a Standard Action. So you would get a regular move action or 10 feet through the muck.

Haskyll moves up a little further along with the group.
Also 10 feet through the muck.

channel: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6

Round Four Recap

The Intruder was not nearly as effective against the more heavily armored Ragnir. She does manage to hit the Dwarf Warpriest with an arrow.

Haskyll trods through the muck and brings forth additional healing to his comrades.

Ulfgard follows along in the muck.

Kaos goes into a defensive posture and follows behind Ragnir.

Anga lobs a blob of molten goo at the Intruder. It hits the archer and sets her on fire.

Ragnir hunkers down under his armor, ready to deflect any inbound arrows.

Intruder 27 (AC? ?-23/?)
Haskyll 19 (AC17/16 25/25)
Ulfgard 15 (AC18 29/54)
Kaos 13 (AC17(21) 19/41)
Anga 9 (AC17 25/25)
Ragnir 5 (AC22 27/33)

Round Five

The intruder shuts the door. You here it being lashed..

"Ragnir, lad move it. No lashing will keep me from this drum!"
As soon as Ragnir is out of the way ulfgard rages and charges the door... with a mighty leap he tries to sunder the door.
damage: 2d6 + 17 ⇒ (3, 5) + 17 = 25

Kaos will move up behind the frothing Dwarf.

[b]Where in the hells does he think he's doing. Chop the door to matchwood Ragnir. He has shown us archery, tis only fair you show him axe work.[/ooc]

Anga keeps advancing

Ragnir moves out of the way of Ulfgard's leap, readying his axe to turn the door into kindling.

With nothing else he can do right now, Haskyll moves up behind Anga as fast as he can.

Round Five Recap

The smoky Intruder shuts the door.

Haskyll continue to trudge up behind in the muck.

Raging Ulfgard vs. Door. Door loses.

Ulfgard does not see the Intruder beyond the smashed door. He does see a trickle of smoke heading up the stairs toward the pump house.

Kaos will move behind Ulfgard. He smells burning hair.

Anga keeps advancing toward the smell of burning hair.

Ragnir does not fall into the muck when Ulfgard flies by.

Intruder 27 (AC? ?-23/?)
Haskyll 19 (AC17/16 25/25)
Ulfgard 15 (AC18 29/54)
Kaos 13 (AC17(21) 19/41)
Anga 9 (AC17 25/25)
Ragnir 5 (AC22 27/33)

Round Six

The party does not know what the Intruder is doing, except maybe smoldering.

Molten Orb Rounds plus Fire Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 3

Who goes up the stairs first?

Lost in rage, Ulfgard follows the trickle of smoke

As Ulfgard heads up the stairs, a large constriction snake falls upon the Dwarf. The snake barely misses biting the Ranger/Barbarian.

Snake Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 171d3 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"MMM roasted snake! A well, LATER!"

Round 6
Haskyll will take the opportunity to move further up the hull of the boat.

Double move. Already placed on the map

Ragnir follows after Ulfgard, still behind his shield and calls out to Torag once again. "Torag, be givin' me the hardiness of the anvil, that me enemies can be strikin' me, and I'll no give." Shield of Faith +2 to AC A ghost like sign of an iron hammer briefly appears, and seems to be absorbed into the dwarf's shield.

1 action to cast, 1 action to move, but his AC is 26

Does Ulfgard move past the snake up into the pump house?

At full speed. He has a stone to hammer with a certain human.

The snake strikes again at Ulfgard. It delivers a near critical bite and begins to constrict around the Dwarf.

Attack of Opportunity

Snake Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d3 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Snake Bite Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Snake Grapple: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Ulfgard takes 6 points of damage and has the grappled condition. Note the snake at the feet of the Intruder in the image provided. Kaos and Anga still have actions in the round.

Sorry I posted yesterday but it didn't take.
Koas heads up the stairs and attacks the snake.
attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 92d8 + 8 ⇒ (6, 3) + 8 = 17
