Motteditor's Realm of the Fellknight Queen (Inactive)

Game Master motteditor

He's about 100 feet away at the moment (I added the map late; not sure if you saw it). You can try to use the grappling hook that way, but chances are he'd be able to pull it off himself if you don't drag him to you in a single round...

Lets concentrate on the gnome and the giant bee for now...maybe the swarm will disperse with his death.

The magus pulled a potion from his pouch and quickly drank it down as he moved closer to the gnome.

Potion of Cure Serious Wounds - 3d8 + 5 ⇒ (1, 8, 2) + 5 = 16

HP = 48/58, 5/8 Arcane Pool, Mai'Tahl Arcane pool 0/2

Kreg flies forward making a beeline for the giant bee.
He is trying to charge the giant bee if possible
Fly (if needed): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Abigail moves back to get her bow back from Thunder, putting her mace away.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Koremar downs the potion and begins moving toward the latest foes as Abigail moves to reclaim her bow from Thunder Rolling.

The swarm of bees surges forward, toward the approaching elf, as Kregimie flies over it toward the solitary giant bee. The hill was in the way, so you couldn't charge. I moved you 60 feet forward and 30 feet up as a full move action, putting you near but not in melee with the bee.

Seeing you approach, Tenzekil casts again, to no visible effect, as he climbs higher into the sky.

Immediately afterward, the bee surges forward toward the flying gnome, where it tries to bite him, but can't get through his armor.

Map

Thunder Rolling moved to assist Kregemie, looping the coils of his rope in his hand as he moved. He wasn't sure that this would work, but unless he met a foe on the ground that wasn't a swarm, he had little else to do.

Double move towards Kregemie

Is the giant bee on the ground or flying as well?
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Abigail mentally instructs Sacha to guard Thunder Rolling and stay near him. She then lifts again and moves towards Tenzekil, praying to Erastil for guidance in combat as she proceeds.

Move 15 feet up 30 feet forward towards Tenzekil. Cast Divine Favor (+2 hit and damage)

Please note I'll be away Friday through Sunday.

Giant bee is at 30' high

Double move towards Kregemie

I'm already up in the air Thunder.

Kreg backs up to make room for his longspear and stabs at the giant bee.

Longspear: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12, damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 plus 1d6 ⇒ 5 acid damage

Koremar was at a loss. he only two more uses of his firey breath and then he'd be scrambling for what to do against the swarm...but the future is ever in flux... So he moved to where he was under Kreg and released the kiss of flame again.

Damage - 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6

Sacha, Thunder Rolling and Abigail all close on their enemies, as the latter is granted Erastil's favor.

Koremar breathes fire at the swarm, but manages to just catch the leading edge, causing little damage.3 hp The swarm orients on the threat and flies toward the elf, who finds himself again amidst a swarm of stinging insects. The buzzing seems overwhelming as they crawl all over him, seeming to find all the chinks in his armor. 8 hp damage

Kregimie jabs at the giant bee, but comes nowhere close to hitting and it seems to easily evade the point.

Tenzekil calls out again and suddenly a bolt of lightning flashes through the starry night, temporarily blinding all of you as it blasts past Kregimie, who's just barely able to get out of the way. Doing so leaves him open for the bee, however, and it chomps down on an arm, surprising the gnome as it tears through his armor. 13 hp damage

Kregemie friend! Draw the bee down closer to the ground." Rolling Thunder still wasn't sure his grappling hook idea would work. Meanwhile, he could help out his friend Koremar againsat the swarm.

HP = 4o/58, 5/8 Arcane Pool, Mai'Tahl Arcane pool 0/2

Koremar seriously considered retiring and becoming a bee keeper. Of course he excelled at sarcastic irony at times. This being one of those. He didnt think he'd ever be able to eat honey again. He breathed deep and expelled the last of his fiery breath.

Damage - 1d6 ⇒ 5 Reflex DC 17 for half

I want to attack the swarm with the torch, but can't find the torch fire damage rules against swwarms. Mott, do you know what kind of damage I could do?

I think fire does 1d6. I'll try to get the giant bee to follow me down, but you might be the best weapon we have against the swarm. Koremar is out of fire breath now. Maybe he can try to hit the giant bee with his shortbow and you could deal with the swarm?

Mott, how long does the blindness last?

Sorry, no blindness, that was just flavor text.

Abigail lets fly two arrows at Tenzekil in rapid succession. Sacha follows Thunder, growling, eager for action.

Rapid Shot with Bless and Divine Favor:
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20; 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18; 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

I'll be away again until Wednesday night, with limited access to Internet.

Kreg drops down a little lower in the air so that he has room to stab at the bee with his longspear.

Longspear:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23, damage:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6, acid damage:1d6 ⇒ 5

Koremar's spurt of fiery breath catches the swarm fully, and he sees a bunch of bees burst into flame. 5 hp; 8 total

Abigail's arrows hit Tenzekil, but neither seems to penetrate his armor.

Thunder swings his torch at the massive swarm of bees, seeming to catch some of them in the fiery trail, though they manage to avoid his second swing. 6 hp, 14 total

The bees in turn orient on the big Mwangi warrior, swarming over him and Sacha and stinging painfully. 5 hp to both

Dropping down, Kregimie jabs again at the giant bee, drawing a gout of blood and a shout from Tenzekil -- "Fulvid!" -- as he scores a hit. 11 hp total Setting his spear in midair, he slams it into the bee again as it flies in to attack. 24 hp; 35 total

Tenzekil screams in anger as you cut into his giant bee. He casts again and Kregimie lurches for a moment as the spell keeping him aloft seems to falter before it retakes effect. Seeing the gnome still in the air, Tenzekil gestures and a bolt of lightning slashes by Kregimie, who is just barely able to twist out of the way.

Bah! My best rolls are going for you guys!

Abigail keeps firing at Tenzekil.

Rapid Shot with divine favor:
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28; 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13; 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Sacha does its best to attack back, but to no avail.
I'm assuming it can't injure them. Let me know if it can.

Thunder Rolling grimaced at the bee stings, but continued to swing his makeshift torch at the swarm of bees. He decided to leave the gnome to the others, and hopefully deal with the swarm.

HP = 4o/58, 5/8 Arcane Pool, Mai'Tahl Arcane pool 0/2

Thankful to be out of the swarms ire and doubly so that Thunder had a found another way to combat them. He knew he could recall the spell if it came to it but also knew that Tenzekil was the largest threat. He turned and with a quick word and a throwing gesture; four glowing darts flew unerringly towards the bleached gnome.

Casts - Magic Missile

Damage - 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3, 2, 4) + 4 = 17

"Tenzekil, its not too late! We will help you overcome the queen! Kreg says as he flies into position.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Kreg again flies closer to the ground, getting room for his spear.
Longspear: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14, damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 plus 1d6 ⇒ 3 acid damage

Kregimie pointed out that I messed up in the previous post and gave him an AoO he shouldn't have had, so I'm subtracting 24 HP damage from the giant bee, putting him back at 11 hp; sorry about that.

Koremar's bolts slam into the bleached gnome, who cries out in pain, then does so again as one of Abigail's arrows hits him. 28 hp total

Thunder continues to swing at the swarm 9 hp damage; 23 total, even as it continues to sting him and Abigail's companion. 8 hp to both; Sacha also loses 1 Dex and is nauseated as the poison and mass of insects overwhelms her. Sacha can not hurt the swarm.

Kregimie drops down, but misses the giant bee, which closes in and bites him twice! 18 hp total

Tenzekil, hurting from the attacks, gestures and a bolt of lightning flashes down toward Koremar, who's able to avoid the worst of it. 3 hp "No one can stop her. Take it someone who used to be a gnome too!" he calls back to Kregimie, then casts again and a giant flaming ball appears on the ground, not far from Thunder Rolling.

Map

Seeing the ball of flame burst into existence beside him, Thunder Rolling took a long step to put the bulk of the bee swarm between himself and the fire. He called out to Sacha "Look out pup! No use for you to fight bees!" Throughout all, he continued to swing the torch, trying to burn apart as many bees as possible.

HP = 37/58, 5/8 Arcane Pool, Invisible 1/7 rds

Koremar had to get the jump on Tenzekil. He uttered an arcane word as his fingers clenched unaturally and then disappeared from view.

Cast Vanish then moving straight east(to the square NW of the G20

Abigail keeps firing at Tenzekil, while Sacha fights desperately to fend off the swarm.

Rapid Shot with Divine Favor:
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19; 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18; 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Kreg continues to lure the giant bee closer to his allies. He takes a 5' step/flight diagonally down, closer to Thunder.

Longspear: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12, damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 plus 1d6 ⇒ 5 acid damage
damn...

HP=47/78

As Koremar seemingly disappears, Abigail fires a couple arrows wide of the bleached gnome. I'm going to assume Sacha backs off, per Thunder's instruction, as she can't do anything but get hurt by the swarm.

Thunder moves through the swarm, hoping to put them between him and the ball of fire, as his torch continues to take its toll on the mass of insects. 4 hp damage; 27 total However, at Tenzekil's command, the mass suddenly lifts up, flying toward Kregimie and enveloping the gnome. 7 hp damage; -1 Dex from poison, nauseated by being in the swarm.

Kregimie, since you acted last, let me know if you want to change your Round 4 action; you can go at the top of Round 5 instead.

Map

"Bees no act like bees! Kill the gnome and bees go away!" Thunder Rolling continued to wave the torch high over his head, torching as many bees as he could, wondering how much longer this was going to go on.

Kreg lowers himself again and stab at the giant bee once more, hoping Thunder can reach the swarm at this height.

Longspear: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14, damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 plus 1d6 ⇒ 4 acid damage

HP=40/78

HP = 37/58, 5/8 Arcane Pool, Invisible 2/7 rds

Koremar reverently slid Mai'Tahl into his sheath. He was much more effecient with the black blade in hand but this scenario called for ranged weaponry and he was smart enough to adapt. He drew his bow and took a bead on Tenzekil.

Move action to sheath sword and move action to draw bow

Abigail curses as the situation doesn't seem to improve and her arrows fail to hit their mark. "Erastil guide my hand!" as she fires again at the bleached gnome.

Rapid Shot:
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21; 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23; 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Since it doesn't look like your actions changes, this will happen at the bottom of Round 4
Kregimie futilely stabs at the giant bee, as he continues to draw it closer to the ground and Thunder Rolling's torch even while avoiding its continued attempts to bite him.

Tenzekil, seeing the bee seemingly with matters well in hand, gestures and a bolt of lightning shoots toward Abigail, flashing through the cleric. 9 hp electric damage At the same time, he gestures, and Thunder has to leap aside, barely avoiding the rolling ball of flame.

Koremar pulls his own bow as Abigail lets two more arrows fly toward Tenzekil, both flying well wide of the gnome.

The bees are all out of reach of Thunder, as the swarm continues to focus now on Kregimie. 11 hp damage; -1 more Dex, no more nausea

Kregimie drops down again, putting himself almost back on the ground, as he missed the giant bee again. Assuming they continue to descend, Fulvid and the swarm will be within Thunder's range.

HP = 37/58, 5/8 Arcane Pool, Invisible 2/7 rds

Koremar moved closer to the bleached gnome (15' east) and raised his hand as he cast. A vivid cone of colors sprang out at Tenzekil.

color spray Will DC 16

This action caused the elf to become visible.

"Hang on, Friends!"

Abigail keeps hammering arrows at the bleached gnome.

Rapid Shot:
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14; 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17; 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Arrrgh! Those dice!

As the swarm envelopes Kreg, he steadies his focus on the giant bee. Moving away from Thunder So that the swarm can do damage to either him or I, but not both, but not moving so far away from Thunder that he is unable to attack the swarm, he again stabs at the bee.

Longspear: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17, damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 plus 1d6 ⇒ 1 acid damage

To make it slightly easier for myself, I just moved Tenzekil and the bee to the bottom of the initiative order.

Koremar sprays Tenzekil with a burst of color, but it seems to have no effect on the bleached gnome, other than to draw his notice, not even effecting him enough to leave him open for Abigail's arrows.

With the giant bee still out of range, Thunder continues to swing his torch at the swarm of bees, hitting the bottom edge once. 6 hp damage; 33 total

The swarm rises farther, getting away from Thunder Rolling, but continuing to focus on Kregimie. 11 hp damage to Kregimie; no further Dex damage, but nauseated again.

Kregimie, feeling ill, tries to position himself for maximum effect, but is so focused he misses the bee.

Tenzekil gestures twice more, sending a bolt of lightning toward the suddenly visible Koremar and the ball of flame toward Thunder. Koremar's unable to move in time, taking the brunt of the blast of lightning 15 hp electric], though Thunder's luckier and able to get out of the way.

The giant bee drops down to five feet -- putting it within Thunder's range finally -- as it fails in its continued efforts to bite Kregimie.

HP = 26/58, 5/8 Arcane Pool

The elven magus knew he was injured pretty bad but nothing hurt as bad as the blow to his ego at the moment. He felt like all of his training had been for naught. Nothing seemed to be working like it should and he was ill prepared. Of course this was his own failing and not the long hours, days and weeks of tutelage he'd received. The main lesson was to give up though so he pressed on and set nocked arrow to ear and put Tenzekil in his sights.

Composite Shortbow attack - 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Damage - 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Thunder Rolling dropped the torch to the ground and leaped at the giant bee pursuing Kregemie. With a grunt of effort, he swung his axe through the air, aiming for the spot where the wings met the creature's thorax.

Abigail, close to a nervous breakdown, watches in dismay as the bleached gnome keeps dodging her shafts. Still, she persists:

Rapid shot:
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20; 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29; 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Meanwhile, Sacha jumps on the giant bee as it fell within range of its claws, slashing and biting.

Claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21; 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8; CMB for grab: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
Claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13; 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11; CMB for grab: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29
Bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13; 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
If it can, it will pounce, but I think it's too close, but can probably full-attack (which is what I rolled). Feel free to adjust.

HP=18/78, Dex -2

Kreg steadies himself as he takes yet another blow. He runs clear of the swarm and the bee then pulls out a potion and gulps it down.

Sure moderate wounds:2d8 + 3 ⇒ (7, 5) + 3 = 15

HP=33/78, Dex -2

Koremar's arrow flies wide, but Abigail finally manages to hit the bleached gnome with a shot, causing him to cry out in pain. 8 hp; 36 total

He lets loose with another anguished scream -- "Fulvid! Nooooooo!" -- as Thunder's axe almost tears the giant bee in half, though it's still able to avoid Sacha's claws. 37 hp; 48 total

The swarm, badly weakened, continues to sting Kregimie 4 hp more damage; nauseated, who quickly retreats and drinks a curative potion.

Tenzekil gestures and a bolt of lightning and the ball of flame surge toward Thunder. He's able to avoid one but suffers a nasty shock from the bolt 13 hp as he fends off the giant bee's attempt to sting him.

Thunder Rolling snarled in a battle fury as the big bee moved in to attack. He easily slipped the bee's lunge, and then hammered at it with a pair of titanic blows. "Bee no like the axe? Poor bee!" This last was forced out as the axe slammed into the fuzzy insect.
