Motteditor's Savage Tide (Inactive)

Game Master motteditor

round 5

Khazmia moves quickly into the room, reaching out to touch it with her long limbs.

melee touch attack (corrosive touch)with reach, acid damage: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 95d4 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 3, 4) = 11

WTF? I was confused why Khazmia was posting about attacking still, and my whole last post from this afternoon is missing! Grrr!

Long story short, Silvio grapples it, Sekathral stabs it and you kill it with the help of the mysterious ball of light. Everyone but Zstelian takes 11 hp fire damage, Reflex save DC 13 for half damage. Please remain in rounds for what you do afterward... Khaz, not knowing what you were doing, I'd had you assist Silvio, a la Kyson so you still have that spell in reserve if you want.

Not knowing what to make of the helpful ball of glowy light, Zstelian started retrieving his weaponry.

Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Sekathral, landing gracefully on his toes, glares at the newcomer, gesturing at it with his rapier.

"Here, who are you?", he says to it, suspiciously

"Ah, intrusive little thing", Silvio remarks and rolls the bat creature away with his boot. "You may now return Silvio to the state you found him in", he tells Khazmia. "How long will that ball of light remain?" he adds, apprently still under the illusion that Khaz summoned it.

Khazmia shrinks what she can of Silvio. "*That* is not my doing, Silvio." Which I told you. Which you ignored. "I suggest caution." which you will probably *also* ignore.

Kyson breathes heavily, still whipped from his efforts in helping bring the bat creature down, his head bowed and taking several deep breaths.

"Did you see that Silvio? First I was over there, then I walked over there, then I walked back in and walked more, then drew my whip...and then tried to help here. Being a hero is hard work. I didn't like this bat thing at all."

Kyson neatly rolls up his whip and reattaches it to his belt.

I nearly helped with this.

'So Urol...what's that ball of light? Huh? You know this stuff, right? What is that?"

* * *
Kyson holds up his holy symbol when everyone is gathered close. He calls upon Sarenrae to heal the party, excluding the bat and the ball of light.

Are you there Sarenrae? It's me, Kyson. I need you.

3d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 4) = 14 healing to all

Let's use the wands for the rest, eh?

Sekathral, stalking around the ball of light with his rapier drawn, stops, as if he's just thought of something.

"Mate", he asks Kyson. "Why in the name of Desna's twinkly undies have *you* got a whip? Is that standard issue for Saranrae's little helpers?"

He sounds disturbingly interested in the answer.

Zstelian would gladly wand people if he had some way of knowing how hurt they were...

Surprise round

Note, Kyson has NOT healed anyone yet!

Before you can do more than begin to collect yourselves after the explosion of the bat creature Zstelian can have grabbed two chakram, Kyson has stowed his whip, the ball of light just as quickly moves toward Sekathral, touching the elf and sending electricity coursing through his slender frame!

Kyson can go, then the wisp as Round 1a actions; then I'll do a complete round 1 afterward with everyone's actions .

Surprise! Round.

Kyson will keep the heal action, above. No need to waste good divine spark. +14 HP to all.

"Why is the ball hurting us now? Khaz, tell it to stop. It's yours, right?"

The ball of light lets out a shriek of frustration as Kyson's energy heals the groups wounds and touches him, sending electricity arcing through the scribe. 8 hp

"Thank you for your help, fleshbags, but I hunger," it says in an oddly ephemeral voice.

1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17
2d8 ⇒ (7, 1) = 8

OK, full Round 1 actions now, please.

"What the hell?! The glowing thing wants to kill us too?" the old ranger griped.

Zstelian moves closer to the creature, tossing a chakram along the way.

Chakram /w PB and Bless: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Round 1, init 22, AC 19, HP

"B*LL*C*S!", screams Sekathral as the electricity hits him, following it up with an "Ahh...", as Sarenrae's gentle mercy washes away the pain. Then, he vaults out of the way, preparing to stick the knife in as soon as an opportunity presents itself.

5 ft step to get into flank, then SNEAK ATTACK... WISP!

Attk: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 = 17 Dmg: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + (3, 3, 4) + 1 = 18

Sorry, missed the reflex save and damage from the bat thing
Reflex save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 vs DC13 => success \o/ => 5 damage

"Thank you, lady Khazmia. Silvio is himself again", Silvio says and bows as he is returned to his regular size. Unfortunatly being his own biggest fan Silvio is distracted by his own perfected physique so he yet again misses has Khaz tries to explain that she did not conjour the will-o-the-wisp. Which is why Silvio is surprised at first when it attacks Sekathral, then draws the only (for him) logical conclusion. "Lady Khazmia, you have lost control of the ball of light!"

Healed 14 by Kyson => 32 hit points

Silvio runs through Kyson's wave of restorative energy and fearlessly darts after the ball of light, his sword poised to strike.

Move action to move adjacent to the light ball, drawing my sword
Standard action to strike! 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 1 - 2 = 25 (+1 bless, -2 combat expertise), damage 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

A heads up. I won't be able to post tomorrow

Round 1

Bless is gone. Not sure about everyone's hp except for Silvio's. If I can't find that you're hurting, then Kyson don't know.

"Hey! OUCH! Why are you hurting me for!?" Kyson reacts to the creatures attack. "I'll learn you!"

Kyson redraws his whip and 5' steps back, intent on giving the wisp a good whatfor.

1d20 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3 aid another vs. DC 10.

Ooops. Missed. By a mile.

Sekathral tries to skewer the ball of light, but his blade goes far wide.

Zstelian has more luck, his chakram slicing through the light, which seems to flicker momentarily.

Khazmia tries to blast it with a ray of acid using her special attack, but the ball ducks under it, then just barely avoids Silvio's swing.

Kyson tries to distract the creature with his whip but seems to only draw its attention. It bursts toward him, an arc of electricity causing his muscles to spasm in pain 8 hp -- and then disappears!

What the heck? I was sure I posted. It was awesome. I yelled and everything. Oh well... :( sorry for the delay folks.

Round 2

"It's not my ball, for the last time! It's NOT MINE!" and now it's not even here? Khazmia focuses, summoning the elusive waves of the fiery desert, forcing them out and away from herself to wrap around what truly is or isn't there....

Khazmia's first (at least, I think it's the first time) casting of see invisibility

Zstelian draws another chakrma and holds it at the ready.

"Watch out. It might not have left..."

Ready to attack if/when it shows up again.

Ready: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Round 2

"What the h...OUCH! Stop that!" Kyson drops his whip, annoyed.

He draws his wand of CLW and hits himself with it.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 healing

"I can do this all day! You just watch me!"

Khaz, maybe it ate your post like it ate mine.

"It's right there, still in front of Kyson!"

Round 2, init 22, AC 19, HP 29/29

Sekathral stands around, waiting for the thing to reappear.

Ready action to Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 2 = 15 Dmg: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (2, 3, 1) + 1 = 11

Why has bless expired? Didn’t you cast it against the fight with the bat creature? The will-o’-the-wisp attacked us just as that fight ended. That couldn’t have taken 5 minutes?

”Get behind Silvio!”, Silvio orders Kyson and readies an attack against the previously glowing orb .

Move action to move adjacent Kyson
Standard action to ready an attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16, damage 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Kyson cast it from scroll, oh mighty Silvio. I'll try to get another one off in a bit. We're going to want every bonus to hit this #$!!% wisp. Flanks & aid anothers peeps!

Khazmia's spell reveals the treacherous ball to her eyes as Kyson cures some of the injuries he's taken.

The ball reappears as it shocks him again 10 hp, and his companions take the moment to attack. Unfortunately, their blades all go wide of the thing -- Zstelian almost hit but pulled it slightly off to make sure he didn't hit Kyson I didn't see Precise Attack so added in a -4; if you already factored that in, though, it will be a hit -- and it disappears again.

Nope, no precise shot. I was hoping I could catch it with the ready before it was in melee again.

Zstelian whistles for Kayle to come down from the ceiling and join the fight, before drawing his sword and rushing in to trap the creature.

Kayle Claw /w Flank: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Falchion Claw /w Flank: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 2 = 27
Damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (1, 1) + 7 = 9

Round 3

"Ah geez! Stop stop that! STOP!" Kyson 5' steps back behind Silvio. "That hurts!"

Kyson pulls out another scroll of bless and reads it.

"Ah C'mon! Go zap other things!"

+1 to hit this jerk. Hit him good!

Round 3, init 22, AC 19, HP 29/29

Sekathral swears as his blade goes wide, then swears again as the creature disappears.

***k this for a game of soldiers

He waits, ears and eyes open for their opponent's reappearance.

Ready action to attack: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 28 Dmg: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (3, 4, 6) + 1 = 18

I don't suppose there are large quantities of dirt/sand/any other powdery substance to hand?

round 3, Init 15

Khazmia takes aim and tries again to hit the thing with her long limbs, casting corrosive touch as she does so.

melee touch attach, 10 foot reach: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 135d4 ⇒ (3, 1, 2, 1, 4) = 11

”So, we learn that the ball of light is a coward. Unwilling to face Silvio on the battle field!”, Silvio taunts the will-o'-the-wisp and readies an attack. "Do we have a cloak or sack nearby?"

Standard action to ready an attack: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 11 + 1 = 26 (+1 bless), damage 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

After a few moments, the thing reappears in front of Kyson, where you all pounce on it. It's easily able to dodge Khazmia's touch, but thanks to Sarenrae's favor, Sekathral, Silvio and Zstelian all hit it and it suddenly blinks out again as Zstelian's falchion passes through it.

Though it could be merely hiding again, Khazmia can see that it appears to be gone, apparently dead.

"I don't see it any more. I think you killed it." She spins around slowly, looking for it.

Zstelian swings around madly a few times for good measure.

"You sure?"

Kyson taps himself again with the wand while he waits to get zapped again.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 healing

HP: 21/38

And again if there is no more attacks.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 healing

And again...

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 healing

And again...

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 healing

HP: 38/38

"Khaz...that light didn't like me very much. Don't do that again, please. It was good how it killed the bat, but seemed to dislike me."

"Well, I'm sure I don't see it anymore. I guess it could have gone somewhere I can't see. But it's not here now." She moves her head, shaking the way the "waves" move in her vision, but nothing comes into focus that wasn't there before.

She nearly growls at Kyson. "I didn't do it! IT WASN'T MINE! I DIDN'T MAKE IT! I CAN'T MAKE IT AGAIN. Her words start out clipped, but grow louder quickly until she is actually yelling, her brow furrowed deep over her eyes, and her too big hands clutched at her sides.

THEY NEVER LISTEN!!!!!

Sekathral squats in the corner, keeping an eye out for returning light-balls and skinning up at the same time.

"Steady on, Khaz!"

He lights his joint, then holds it out to her, unlit end first.

"Here, have first puff on this - nice bit of Botosani Blue. That'll make you feel better"

Having attempted to pour oil on troubled waters, he pokes around the room, scowling at the carvings and searching for valuables.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

Silvio takes a few steps back and hold his hands up defensivly. "Lady Khazmia, this is a joyous occation. A time to celebrate yet another beast bested by Silvio and his good friends! Let's not bicker about who conjoured what, the important thing is that Silvio defeated it and we are free to continue to explore these ruins. What is this a map of again?"

"Yeah, great job Silvio..." the ranger mutters while he looks around anxiously for more invisible attackers.

"Urol, we're here and it looks clear now. Finish up what you wanted to see so we can head out. I think we've had our fill of monsters trying to kill us for the day."

Kyson slowly backs away from the angry Khaz lest she summon another angry ball of light to finish the job.

"It's okay, Khaz. We know you didn't summon the ball of light. Yep...it's okay...don't get angry..."..and *not* summon another one.

Kyson quickly tries to change the subject.

"What now, Urol?" Kyson shines his Discovery Torch around the place. +2 enhancement bonus on Perception and Sense Motive checks.

Kyson takes his time to look around: 20 + 10 + 2 = 32 Perception

* * *

Kyson offers his wand around to anyone who needs it before he puts it away.

16/50 charges on this one. Mark them down as used.

"Oh, thank you so much! It would have been a shame if we'd had to ..." the gnome trails off as he begins looking around, apparently lost in appreciation.

After a few minutes of scribbling notes, he says, "Perhaps you could look around the rest," -- gesturing through the archway to the south -- "see if there's anything else so fascinating?"

With Kyson's torch lighting the way, you can see twin status of men dressed in strange ancient armor and wearing towering headdresses made of coiled snakes and bat wings standing to either side of an arched doorway to the south. Beyond it beckons a circular room, its walls adorned with dozens of niches in which rest the desiccated bodies of long-dead men and women.

Zstelian takes some time and looks around the areas described.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Zstelian, it looks like one of the statues might have been trapped, but it appears to have been triggered some time in the past.

It doesn't look like the sort that can reset?

It does not.

Than Zstelian will make a note of it but not dwell on it overly much.

If there's nothing else of interest to be found, Zstelian will return to Urol and report his findings.

Kyson continues to slowly examine stuff, using his magic Discovery Torch.

Take 20 = 32 Perception

"So where do we go now?"

There's still another room to the south.

"Urol, you done in here? There's more to see south of here."

"Oh, let me know if it's anything interesting. I could stay here all day!" the gnome calls back.
