MiniGM's Wrath of the Righteous

Game Master Vuvu

No I cannot...

The elf calls out I will summon a beast to help!

I will let you choose what he should summon, he has summon monster 1-3

2d20 ⇒ (10, 12) = 22 Marhoc is hit, due to being in darkness

1d20 ⇒ 16 and he is grabbed and squeezed 2d4 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4

go

Arvanshnial begins casting a spell and a round later a Lantern Archon appears. Arvanshnial knowing that they needed light, summons the being he thinks would be most beneficial.

Edric takes another swing at the creature in front of him, while he hears his friend struggle with the other one.
Attack: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 41d8 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

Does Marhok still have the miss chance although he knows where the creature grapples him?

I'm not sure where he grapples but RAW I can't use two hands, so I have to grab my last weapon.
Marhok drops his greatsword and draws his newly acquired warhammer.
Attack, Power Attack, Grappled?: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 - 2 = 102d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 6) + 4 + 2 = 15

Miss Chance 1-50: 1d100 ⇒ 10 Yikes this is not going well for me

Lantern Archon stats

2d20 ⇒ (13, 5) = 18 no hits, and the grapple is not maintained.

The lantern archon appears and Arvash shouts Kill the monsters

2d20 ⇒ (15, 11) = 26 one of the creatures fails and is at a minus to attack

immediately it fires two rays at the one engaged with Edrick

2d20 ⇒ (9, 10) = 19 but both miss due to the combat

Go

Attack Edric: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 21d8 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

Attack Marhok, Power Attack, two-handed: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 3 = 15
Miss Chance 1-50: 1d100 ⇒ 9 Right that does it, I'm gonna take Blind-Fight as a Feat ^^

lol

well shattered star next?

2d20 ⇒ (1, 14) = 15 both miss

go heroes...letting you run the lantern archon, cause maybe your luck will turn

The Lantern Archon moves over to where Marhok dropped his ranseur and casts Continual Flame on it, dispelling the darkness cass by the bat-like critters.

"Finally" Marhok exclaims as he looks closer to the crittr before him. "You're an ugly little bugger aren't you? Let's make that even uglier."

Attack Marhok, two-handed Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 121d8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 3 = 16

Edric keeps fighting his own desperate battle against the other critter, hoping to keep the attention drawn away from his friend.
Edric's Attack: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 61d8 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

glad I gave you that control...i didn't know what you wanted it to do...cleaver as hell!

doh both misses.

The second beast steps away and plunges Marhoc into darkness yet again, then the one that Marhok just missed attacks again

1d20 ⇒ 13 miss

Go

I'm not sure, but doesn't the Continual Flame continue to dispel the area of darkness around Marhok? I'm thinking that darkness is a second level spell and Continual Flame is a 3rd level spell. Darkness couldn't dispel it.

In any case I'll continue attacking. Depending on if the second darkness works the archon might do something else.

Edric follows the critter he was in combat with and decides to smack him in the head. Attack, Flank: 1d20 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) - 1 + 2 = 31d8 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Marhok swings the hammer at the same creature hoping to finally hit one and take it out. Attack, flank, two-handed Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 2 = 221d8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 3 = 11

Miss chance if appropriate 1-50: 1d100 ⇒ 68

The archon fires two rays of light at the same creature
2 Ranged Touch attacks, Shooting into Melee: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 3 - 4 = 01d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 3 - 4 = 151d6 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 6

oooo i thought it was second let me check...inaany event it would try.

EDIT You are correct, the lights do not go out

Marhok does a lot of damage, and the archon fires light rays 2d20 ⇒ (7, 11) = 18 both miss

2d20 ⇒ (9, 13) = 22 both miss

go

Yeah the rules are not really specific about it, I was confused at first as well.

Attack Marhok, Two-handed Power Attack, Flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 2 = 251d8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 3 = 11
Attack Edric, Flank: 1d20 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) - 1 + 2 = 51d8 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Edric and Marhok both attack the creature between them in unison, hoping to silence it once and for all.

Math ok drops one the other charges but misses again

"Oh now you're just all alone eh? Perfect. Edric go around him."

Edric moves in to the other side of the creature, but not in a position yet to flank. I envision the map in the worst possible way for this, but it still works just fine

Edric attacks the critter with his morningstar after whihc Marhok sidesteps and can flank together with Edric.

Attack Edric: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 = 101d8 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7
Attack Marhok, Flank, Two-handed Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 2 = 191d8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 3 = 10

It attacks again dealing a single point to math ok but fails to grab

Attack Marhok, Flank, Two-handed Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 2 = 221d8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 3 = 17
Attack Edric, Flank: 1d20 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) - 1 + 2 = 61d8 ⇒ 6

If this kills the thing, probably will

Marhok sighs a deep relief as the last creature falls.
"Remember me that in my next life I should be a dwarf." He looks to the srains the creature put on his neck and arms.
"Not my kind of battle, not my kind of battle at all."

He walks back to Arvanshnial and the other two and thanks him heartily for his help.
"Arvanshnial thank you for summoning that glowing creature of light. I don't think I would have survived elsewise. My deepest thanks if I can repay the favour when we're back to the surface just let me know."

It was for the good of us al to do so. I am glad we live to continue on. he replies

The lantern archon lasts for several more rounds before vanishing.

As the party continues they come to yet another opening

A s m a l l c a m pfi re a n d a we l l - used bed ro l l, a l o n g w i t h a few
u te n s i l s a n d too l s, sits nea r a no t h e r cave o p e n i n g in the fa r wa l l
of t h i s cave r n .

At the far end a dwarf stands as soon as Marhok approaches he casts a spell and is blurred.

[rolling init he wins]

The dwarf is 50 feet away he casts a spell and two force missiles fly and slam into Marhoc's chest

2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 2 = 8

Go

Oops didn't think you would fastforward it so quickly, I wanted to ask the elven wizard to zap me again with the False Life wand as it has run its course now.

False Life: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Nevertheless seeing as Marhok had been injured soemwhat by the bat-like creatures, Edric uses one of his channels to heal him.
Selective Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 5 Which puts me back at full HP before the start of the combat.

Then Marhok picks up his stuff again, ranseur in hand and makes his way to the next room in which he promptly gets zapped by an angry dwarf.
"You've messed with the wrong barbarian dwarf! Raah!"

Marhok charges at the dwarf and attacks him with the ranseur from a distance, stabbing at his sides.
Charge, Power Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 2 = 222d4 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3) + 6 + 3 = 15 AC 15 till next round Edit: Probable Miss chance 1-20?: 1d100 ⇒ 39

Edric looks on terrified and makes his way a little bit closer and yells.
"Stop! Stop it! We're not here to harm you, we're just here to get out of this place! We're lost in these tunnels." Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

thats fine! I just posted cause I was going to bed

Lies you are from above! You are hear to kill me You...argh

The dwarf steps back and focuses

1d20 ⇒ 14 concentration success

A spray of colors flies out from the dwarf's hands and slam into MArhok...Marhok feels woozy and his sight dims and sound fades...

DC 13 or Marhok is out of the fight! Color Spray

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 Ah rats now I wish I'd activated Rage, also why I'm taking Superstition next level

Edric charges up to the dwarf and tries to slam his morningstar into his face.
Edric's Attack: 1d20 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) - 1 + 2 = 161d8 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4
"We had come in peace! We didn't know you were here!" he shouts as he tries to pummel the dwarf into submission

1d100 ⇒ 72 Edrick slams his morning star into the dwarf

The dwarf steps back and drinks a potion

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Go

Should I roll for the duration of Color Spray? Colour Spray: 2d4 + 1d4 ⇒ (1, 2) + (2) = 5

So I'm 6 rounds out? Could be worse.

Edric presses the attack and lashes out with his morningstar again.
Attack: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 31d8 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
Miss chance 1-20: 1d100 ⇒ 70

Edric calls out for help.
"Anevia! Could you help us out? Marhok's out cold."

I will summon a monster!.

Choose one and I can run it!

Anevia fires an arrow but the blur causes it to miss

A wolf would suffice I think.

the dwarf steps back and drinks another prion and disappears.

go the wolf arrives

Edric looks up in surprise at the wolf and seems glad.
"Seek him out, seek out the dwarf." He says, but he knows the wolf probably can't understand him.

Using scent, at least try to determine where the dwarf is and attack him.

When the wolf confirms that the dwarf is still near, Edric will also swing his morningstar wildly in that place.

Attack Edric: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 81d8 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 Miss chance 1-50: 1d100 ⇒ 30

Edit: probably should roll for the wolf as well or would you prefer to do so?

you need a handle animal on the wolf

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 Guess not, so what would the wolf do in this situation?

the wolf moves and sniffs in the wrong part of the room.

Annnnd we are out of combat

Okay, that was surprising. Randomly hostile and crazy dwarf attacks, vanishes and flees.

Marhok wakes after about half a minute and shakes his head as if to clear out the blur.

"What happened? I saw all these colours and suddenly everything went black."

Edric pats the wolf on its neck before moving over to Marhok.
"I believe it was a simple spell that struck you down, sorry to say so."

"Agh. My head still hurts from that, I hope I never see that dwarf again. Drunk dwarves I like, but crazy dwarves are a whole different story."

Marhok and Edric pick up their stuff and go to the group of followers.
"Thanks for your support, both of you. I didn't expect to be knocked out so easily. Arvanshnial, can you still use that wand of yours? I feel like that sort of life's shield has diminished already."

Assuming he still has a charge left. False Life: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

"Let's head out, see if there's a way out close to here."
Marhok leads the way again, looking for any signs of immediate danger (taking 10 for 16), closely followed by Edric leading Arvanshnial, Anevia and Horgus.

Edric meanwhile tries to strike up a conversation with Arvanshnial and asks:"Sir Arvanshnial? You've told me you were a mage that creates and sells items of power. Could you tell me something more about yourself and your work? I'm quite intrigued by the arcane arts in contrast to the divine magics I've been taught to wield."

Diplomacy, Take 10: 10 + 7 = 17

He uses the wand again though he does so less readily.

there is not much to tell. I am a Mage who sells items...though without my sight...

you do not get the impression that you upset him just that he is private about his personal life

You got the campaigns mixed up ^^

"Ah ok, perhaps we can fix your eyesight eventually. I'd love to see your work when we get back."

Edric then tries to get Horgus to talk a bit more, assuming he's walking close by.
"Lord Gwerm?" Edric begins, as he knows he likes to be called that. "Might I ask a fellow follower of Abadar what you do in the city of Kenabres? You're a lord right? So you must hold some influence and power inside the city correct? Why would it be so important for someone in higher society to be a follower of Abadar, there's no shame in that is there?"
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

In the meantime the group is slowly making their way further through the tunnels, Marhok looking out for them.

you not raised him to friendly

bah it is impossible for to understand how you do not know who I am. But if you must know I am one of the chief investors in the Turestone quarry.

a search of the campsite finds consisting of a ratty bedroll,
a small pack filled with dried meat, preserved
fruit, and some moldy cheese (6 days of rations),
and a chipped 6-inch-tall marble statuette of a
humanoid throwing a spear. The statuette is worth
75 gp

eventually they come to
A steeply i n c l i n e d t u n n e l l e a d s u pw a rd to t h e n o rth, its w a l l s
l i n ed w i t h n u m e ro u s n o o ks, h a n d h o l d s, a n d dozens of i ro n
p i t o n s t h a t have b e e n d riven i nto t h e wa l l s l o n g a g o .

the pitons basically make the tunnel a large ladder and it is easy to climb, upon reaching the top they travel another 30 minutes

T h e t u n n e l o p e n s i n to a l a rg e cavern, a b o u t seve nty feet
a c ross. Cyl i n d ri c a l rock f o r m a t i o n s a l o n g t h e wa l l s a rc h up to

o n ce h a ve rea c h e d t h e fifty-foot- h i g h ce i l i n g h a s co l l a psed
o nto i t s s i d e .

Standing near the collapsed tower are two humanoids urgently trying to move blocks off the tower.

Marhok stuffs the rations and the marble statuette in his pack and motions the others to head out.

Edric chit-chats with Arvanshnial and Anevia about trifling matters, but feels that all three of their new companions seem a bit closed off. He likes Anevia and the elderly elf the most, as Horgus seems to be a bit stuck up, but perhaps money does that to you.

When the group comes across the new room, Marhok and Edric looks in wonder at the humanoids trying to clear stones off of the tower.

"What should we do Marhok? We could get the element of surprise on them if we attack now."

Marhok shakes his head. "We don't even know if they are hostile. Best to approach openly until we do know what their intentions are."

What kind of humanoids are they?
Perception Marhok: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Perception Edric: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Marhok approaches with his ranseur in one hand and his other hand free, holding it up in a motion that normally means:"I come in peace."

"Greetings." He begins slowly. "We come in peace and mean you no harm. Do you know of a way out of this place?"

The two immediately drop into defensive postures
One
of the mongrels is a hunchbacked
her face
so warped by tumors that she must be
incapable of intelligible speech. The
second is a man he
is a tall, thin creature with a face that
melds the features of an attractive
elven man, a goat, and a lizardfolk.
His oversized fingers end in dull,
spadelike talons.

note that i am assuming that you follow your usually tactic of leaving the other 3 behind

If you are hostile, please just leave us, if yo hare a goodly type perhaps you will help us...our friend is trapped, and we cannot move this last rock...would you help us?

I do, Edric follows about 30 feet behind me.

Marhok looks to Edric and then shrugs.
"I'll help you as best as I can. Might I ask for your names?"

He says as he walks slowly up to the two, using his ranseur as a walking cane.
He looks to the rock and tries to see if it budges.

Strength check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 "That's a pretty heavy stone. We all might need to work together to move it. Edric? Can you come here and lend us a hand?"

Edric nods and comes closer, he finds the female humanoid a bit scary, though he does his best to hide it.

"So you and your kind live in these tunnels? Are you what some others call Mongrelkin?" He asks them without trying to hurt their feelings.
Diplomacy, Take 10: 10 + 7 = 17

Marhok and Edric aim to help together to lift the stone from its place.
Can I take 20 on this to try and lift it?

they frown at that name. Yes we are. I am Lann, this is Dyra and our friend Crel is trapped

2d20 ⇒ (18, 9) = 27 Dyra and Lann each help as well for two assists

and the way it is written makes me think that you cannot take 20

make another roll for me...maybe be angry. you have a +6

Str Edric: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6 That's a no
Marhok himself shouts once as he begins to start trying to lift it again. "Raah"

Using my last round of Rage.
Str check, Double Assist, Rage: 1d20 + 4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 4 + 2 = 14 Dooh, try again?

sure. 3d20 ⇒ (18, 9, 4) = 31 two assists for you this time. i already rolled edric

Negate the fatigued condition through my Heart of the Fields racial trait.

Str check: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 4 = 20

the rock does not move.

3d20 ⇒ (2, 18, 9) = 29 2 assists

Str Check: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 4 = 9

This is not working. Perhaps we could do some digging, but it might crush him...[/b]

Lann looks worried...but lifting is simply not working.

"Perhaps that might be wise. We should be careful not to crush him though. Perhaps there's something we can use as leverage instead, so we can use our strength more easily."

Marhok looks for something long and sturdy he might use as leverage. Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Looking for a log or something like that.

Marhok finds a beam that might help.

gonna need an engineering check...or another skill that you can think of that makes sense

Give me a chance and I could make a point of making survival be a check that makes sense as certain kind of traps also use simple leverage systems. Else I'm pretty sure an Int check would be appropriate as well, as using leverage seems to me like pretty common knowledge. Especially for an outdoors man that slightly smarter than the average soldier.

Int check?: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
