Mahjik shakes his head in mock shock, "Why are we leaving out the possibility of giant vampire monkeys?"


"Because Douena didn't have a dream about them," Sasha says in all seriousness. "She did have a dream about vampire snake people."


4 ROVA

You set out as always, heading north along the riverbank. The trees here are taller and broader than they have been, their gnarled branches rising to a tangled canopy that blots out the sun. Digging into their roots, giant, parasitic corpse-flowers blossom across the jungle floor, their stench being enough to make your stomachs a little queasy.

You've been travelling for a couple of hours when you notice several humanoid corpses along the riverbank. Their armor and bodies have been ripped apart as if by large claws. Suddenly, a series of loud slams and crashing noises echo through the jungle, sending small monkeys in the treetops fleeing in all directions.

You may have one round worth of actions each. Unfortunately, the cover of the trees makes it impossible to see what has caused the crashing noises. All you can tell is that the noises are coming from the north-northwest.

Mahjik shouts: "Quick! Get ready to defend!" His call is followed by a rapid serious of hand gestures as he moves to the front to cover Shokambe. His hand movements seem silly for a moment, but then his skin begins to change, taking on a distinctly gnarly appearance.

Activate barkskin ki power; move to E73 (or as close as possible)


Male Half-Orc Barbarian(Totem Warrior/Invulnerable Rager) : 2 Druid(Wolf Shaman) : 4

Growling out a spell, Makoa moves to Shokambe's side, axe in hand.

Casting Barkskin and moving to E75, drawing tha axe as part of the move action.

Taking her opportunity before he rushes headlong into battle, Douena touches Pezock with shield of faith before rushing back toward Jask, drawing her starknife. "Jask, aid Sasha this time!"

Seriously, Lorenz doesn't need the hitpoints while he's standing back with a bow. Would like to end up next to Jask, depending on if he/she moves more than 30 ft. from Douena.

Urza casts Mage Armor and moves to F74 as Shokambe seems to be the staging area.


M Elf Ranger 6

Tar'kanas draws an arrow and nocks it, readying to fire at first sight of the unknown creature.


Untari emits a low growl in anticipation as she sets herself to attack.

Heh, it's always ended up being Lorenz because everyone else moves away before Jask can cast the spell. :)

Jask nods at Douena's words and casts the spell on Sasha.

Jask aid on Sasha: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Sasha smiles and says a quick "Thanks," in return, before drawing her weapons and moving forward (to E77).

Lorenz pulls out his bow and moves closer to the river to get a better view ahead (J77).

Ishirou moves to the side a little, positioning himself by a tree (F71) and waits.

Shokambe, not wanting to be at the front, pulls back to Jask and Douena (J72) while Pezock moves to the front (C76).

Suddenly, three massive apes burst out of the trees to the north.

Note: I didn't roll for Tar'kanas, as his readied action will just move him to the start of the round anyway. :)

ROUND 1

CURRENT EFFECTS:
Barkskin (Makoa, Mahjik)
Shield of faith (Pezock)
Mage armour (Urza)
Aid (Sasha)

I'll let Javell roll Tar'kanas's attack. :)

First Up: Tar'kanas's readied attack, Urza, Pezock, Lorenz, Untari, Douena, Mahjik, Alton, Shokambe, Ape #1, Apes #2 and #3, Jask, Sasha, Makoa, Ishirou.

Map Updated

Sense Motive DC 25:
There's something a little different about #1. It looks like an ape, but it's movement is slightly different, slightly jerky, almost like it's not in full control of its actions.


Sorcerer (Draconic) 6 Dragon Disciple 1; AC 15 (19), FF 13 (17) T 12; HP 62/62;Perception +6; Spells Lvl 3: 3/4; Lvl 2: 5/6; Lvl 1: 7/7; Cantrip: at will

"Here you go, Mahjik. Use it in good health." Cast Mage Armor on Mahjik. After that, follow Makoa as best he can.


M Elf Ranger 6

Seeing the over-sized apes, Tar'kanas immediately lets loose an arrow.

Fire at O1

Comp longbow (Str +3) w/DA: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14


"Thanks Urza! This will make this considerably more pleasant."


Tar'kanas's arrow flies straight at #1, but rebounds off its tough hide (i.e. a miss). Urza casts mage armour on Mahjik.

With a yell, Pezock raises his sabre and rushes forward. The bodies in the way slow him down a bit, however. Double move to -F 78. The apes have reach, but are still flat-footed, so no AoO from #1.

Lorenz longbow, Rapid Shot 1 at #1: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 - 2 = 20 -- hit
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Lorenz longbow, Rapid Shot 2 at #1: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 10 - 2 = 26 -- hit
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Lorenz nocks an arrow and fires, then without a pause does so again. Both arrows land in #1's chest. The ape grunts in pain.

Up Next: Untari, Douena, Mahjik, Alton, Shokambe, Ape #1, Apes #2 & #3, Jask, Sasha, Makoa, Ishirou.

Elven:
"Untari, aid the tengu!"
Tar'kanas commands, motioning toward Pezock as she promptly moves to do so.

Double move to -F 79.


Female Gnome Cleric 4/ Rogue (burglar) 3

"Shokambe!" Douena brightens. "Good! Stay with Jask! Mahjik! Get up there with the giant vampire monkeys before they have Pezock surrounded!" Taking her own advice, she implores Desna for some extra speed and runs after the cheetah toward the tengu, drawing her starknife.

Cast expeditious retreat; move to -B 77


Unrtari and Douena hurry forward.

Next Up: Mahjik, Alton, Shokambe, Ape #1, Apes #2 & #3, Jask, Sasha, Makoa, Ishirou, Tar'kanas, Urza, Pezock, Lorenz, Untari, Douena.

Female Gnome Cleric 4/ Rogue (burglar) 3

Hoping you're going to join me up here before the apes move in, Mahjik. :P


AC 25; HP 53/53

Mahjik sighs inwardly as he rushes after the birdman. To -F77


Alton takes to the air and flies towards the apes (double move to -D 71). Shokambe pulls out his mace, but holds put for now.

Ape #1 moves back a bit (5-ft step to -H/-I 77/78), then does something you wouldn't expect an ape to do. It casts a spell.

Spellcraft DC 19:
It's probably obvious from the effects, but the spell is fear and it's being used as spell-like ability.

Douena Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 -- fail
Mahjik Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 -- fail
Untari Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 -- fail
Pezock Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 -- fail
Ugh! Awful rolls! :(
Douena, Mahjik, Untari, and Pezock are all panicked.
Pezock will never live this one down. :)

Terror washes over the four of you nearest the apes, filling you with the desire to get away.

Ape #2 moves forward a little (to -E/-F 74/75) and bites at Mahjik. #3 bites and claws at Mahjik from where its standing.

Ape #2 bite at Mahjik: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 -- miss
Ape #3 bite at Mahjik: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 -- miss
Ape #3 claw 1 at Mahjik: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 -- miss
Ape #3 claw 2 at Mahjik: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 -- miss

Only one attack comes close to hitting Mahjik, but it rebounds off the multiple magical effects he has protecting him.

Jask casts a spell, and a glowing dagger appears in front of Ape #1.

Jask spiritual weapon at #1: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 - 2 = 17 -- miss

The dagger swipes at the ape, but does not connect.

Sasha rushes forward towards #2, and ducks low under its long reach (double move to -D 75).

Sasha Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 -- success

Next Up: Makoa, Ishirou, Tar'kanas, Urza, Pezock, Lorenz, Untari, Douena, Mahjik, Alton, Shokambe, Ape #1, Ape #2 & #3, Jask, Sasha.

Quote:
A panicked creature must drop anything it holds and flee at top speed from the source of its fear, as well as any other dangers it encounters, along a random path.

Merely a desire to "get away"? That random path bit is going to cause havoc.


M Elf Ranger 6

Okay, these aren't "animals". Are they monstrous humanoids?


Giant vampire apes! Totally called it!

I figure them to be outsiders of some type. Demons maybe.


Makoa Wolf'sKin wrote:

Yes, that is one of the few locations you could charge to without any obstructions.

Tar'kanas wrote:

To all appearances, they would seem to be just really big apes.

Knowledge (nature) DC 13:
These are definitely dire apes. However, dire apes should not be capable of casting spells.

There is also a Sense Motive spoiler above that may have been forgotten or missed. Although admittedly, the only party members capable of passing the DC are Mahjik and Jask. That said, now that Ape #1 has done this odd action, I will lower the Sense Motive DC to 15. :)

Know(Nature): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Makoa charges the closest ape, howling loudly before he bites at the overgrown monkey.

Raging Power Bite on 02: 1d20 + 9 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 2 - 1 = 20
1d4 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 6 = 15

Urza casts Protection from Evil as he moves up behind Makoa.
That spell was actually for Makoa, but he moves to fast.


M Elf Ranger 6

Knowledge: Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

"These apes are far more deadly than your typical kind. And it appears the one that possesses magic, is not entirely in control of its own actions."


Ape #2 AoO bite at Makoa: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 -- miss

Makoa rushes forward at ape #2. As he comes in close, the ape bends down and tries to bite him, but he's moving too fast for it. He ploughs into the beast, biting into its stomach and tearing out a huge chunk of fur, skin, and guts. The ape is badly hurt by the attack.

While #2 is distracted by Makoa, Ishirou makes his way up along the jungle edge and attempt to slip around the ape (double move to -F 73).

M Elf Ranger 6

Tar'kanas moves closer to get a better shot and fires.

Move to B 76; Attack #1 again.

Comp longbow (Str +3) w/DA: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10


Tar'kanas's arrow goes wide and into the water.

Urza moves forward and casts his protection from evil spell.

And in a completely uncharacteristic move for Pezock, the tengu suddenly drops his sabre and screams in utter terror. He turns and hoofs it back over the shoreline, stumbling over the bodies in his path (double move to G 77).

Note: While the description for panicked condition says a "random" path, I interpret that to mean a random safe direction. In this case, that pretty much means a southerly direction for everybody. To expedite things, I'll just move your characters south. I'm not going to roll any dice to make things any more random than that.

Lorenz moves closer (to D 77), passing the fleeing Tengu. "Pezock?" he says in confusion. "What are you doing?" Pezock just keeps on running, so Lorenz fires an arrow at #1.

Lorenz longbow at #1, Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 10 - 2 = 23 -- hit
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 4 = 16

The arrow slams into the middle of the ape's chest, just below its throat and practically rips right through. The ape screams in pain, terribly injured but not yet falling over.

Untari, Douena, and Mahjik follow Pezock's lead and turn tail and run. Mahjik is in reach of #2, but as #2 has already taken its AoO, he's in the clear. The bodies on the ground mean that you can't run so you all do double moves. Untari to M 76. Douena to V 75 (off the map). Mahjik to K 76.

Alton sweeps down at #2 (move to -E 73)

Alton bite at #2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 -- miss

Alton tries to bite at the ape, but only catches a bit of hairy fur.

Seeing so many of you under the effects of the fear spell fleeing away, Shokambe sighs and moves up forward to take your place (double move to -B 75).

What started as a scream of pain from #1 suddenly changes to what seems almost like gleeful laughter. The big ape moves forward a little (to -E/-F 77/78), leans over and bites at Sasha.

Ape #1 bite at Sasha: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18 -- hit
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Despite the ape's teeth digging into her arm and tearing away a chunk, Sasha comes out surprisingly unhurt, a benefit of the extra strength given her by Jask earlier.

#2 turns on Makoa in fury for his earlier attack, while #3 moves closer to bite at Ishirou (move to -H/-I 73/74)

Ape #2 bite at Makoa: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 -- hit
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Ape #2 claw 1 at Makoa: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 -- hit
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Ape #2 claw 2 at Makoa: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 -- hit
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Total damage to Makoa: 22

Ape #3 bite at Ishirou: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 -- hit, critical threat
Ape #3 critical confirm: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 -- not confirmed
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

The apes tear into their targets with brutal efficiency.

Jask spiritual weapon at #1: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 - 2 = 14 -- miss

The glowing dagger conjured by Jask swipes again at #1 but fails to contact. Then it winks out of existence. Jask herself meanwhile moves closer (double move to C 75).

Sasha takes a step closer to #1 5-ft step to -D 76) and attacks it first.

Sasha rapier at #1: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 1 = 26 -- hit
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Sasha kukri at #1: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 = 24 -- hit
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Her rapier finds one leg and her kukri the other. The ape looks almost ready to fall, but still stands.

Next Up: Makoa, Ishirou, Tar'kanas, Urza, Pezock (panicked), Lorenz, Untari (panicked), Douena (panicked), Mahjik (panicked), Alton, Shokambe, Ape #1, Apes #2 & #3, Jask, Sasha.

Map Updated


Male Half-Orc Barbarian(Totem Warrior/Invulnerable Rager) : 2 Druid(Wolf Shaman) : 4

Second Round of Rage, third under the effects of barkskin

Makoa continues to attack the giant ape with relentless fury, swinging his axe with quick, strong attacks and leaning in to tear flesh with his teeth.

Throwing Axe, Raging, Power Attack:1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 9 - 2 = 25
Damage:1d6 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 3 = 14

Bite Attack, Raging, Power Attack1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 - 2 = 8
Damage:1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6


Makoa's axe badly injures #2, but he is unable to get hold of anything with his bite.

Ishirou decides to risk shifting positions slightly in order to flank #2 with Sasha (5-ft step to -G 73).

Ishirou katana at #2, flanking: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 2 = 28 -- hit
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 4 + (5, 6) = 18

The move pays off as he is able to slide his sword into the ape's back, sending the heavy beast crashing to the ground.

5' step to A 77; Attack #1 again

Comp longbow (Str +3) w/PB/DA: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12


Tar'kanas fires off another arrow that skims ape #1's fur, but doesn't penetrate. Meanwhile, a burst of flame shoots from Urza at #3, turning the ape into a giant ball of fire. With shrieks and screams the ape goes down (critical was confirmed).

Pezock continues hurrying along the shoreline (off the edge of the map; I won't bother tracking exact positions for him and the other panicked characters now).

Lorenz composite longbow at #1, Rapid Shot 1: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 - 2 = 15 -- miss
Lorenz composite longbow at #1, Rapid Shot 2: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 - 2 = 22 -- hit
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Lorenz fires off another arrow that goes a little to the left, and then quickly fires a second that hits home. #1 topples over.

Untari, Douena, and Mahjik continue fleeing (off the edge of the map).

Alton flies back up into a nearby tree. Shokambe relaxes and puts away his mace.

Suddenly, a darkness engulfs #1's limp body. The darkness starts to coalesce into a shadowy grey mist that rises up into a winged humanoid shape. Two bright red dots glow where its eyes should be. The creature hisses in a whispery, yet strangely loud voice.

With a gasp, Jask hurries up to Makoa (move to -C 74) and touches his back, healing some of Makoa's wounds.

Cure light wounds: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Sasha steps up to the shadowy creature (5-ft step to -E 76) and stabs at it with both her weapons, but they just pass through the creature. She swears and calls out, "I think we've got a problem here!"

Makoa rushes at the creature and bites it, but much like Sasha's weapons, his teeth just pass straight through its shadowy shape.

Ishirou also moves up and around to the other side of it (-G 78). He swings at it, but his katana just passes through.

"Nothing affects it. I would suggest a retreat." Tar'kanas tells the others as he holds his ground, awaiting to see what they choose to do.

Delay.


Urza moves up closer to the action, firing a beam of flames at the shadow-like creature. Although some of the flames pass through just like Makoa's teeth and Sasha's weapons, some of the flames actually impact the creature. Alas, they seem to have little, if any, effect. (Half damage from incorporeal and fire resistance.)

Pezock continues running.

"We have a few things that might," Lorenz replies to Tar'kanas, taking out one of his magical arrows.

Lorenz composite longbow with +1 arrow, Deadly Aim, Rapid Shot 2: 1d20 + 10 - 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 10 - 2 - 2 + 1 = 22 -- hit
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 + 4 = 11

He quickly fires off the arrow and then another one. Both arrows impact the incorporeal creature, causing it to squirm a little. "However," Lorenz continues, "I'm not sure if we have enough. Retreat might be a good idea."

Untari, Douena, and Mahjik continue their retreat.

Alton is about to lift from his perch again, but Sasha calls out to him to stay put. Delay.

"I have no means to affect such a creature," Shokambe says, and pulls back (double move to G 74).

The creature looks quickly around it, and smiles. Then it attacks all three people close to it.

Shadow Creature claw 1 at Makoa, touch: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 -- hit
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1 and 1d6 ⇒ 6 cold
Shadow Creature claw 2 at Sasha, touch: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25 -- hit
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 and 1d6 ⇒ 1 cold
Shadow Creature bite at Ishirou, touch: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 -- hit
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4 and 1d6 ⇒ 3 cold

It's claws pass through both Makoa and Sasha, sending shivers through them. Then it spins around and bites Ishirou.

Jask moves closer to the river (move to -C 77) and calls out to Nethys.

Jask channel energy: 1d6 ⇒ 4

The healing energies spread out and affect everyone as far as Lorenz (only not getting Shokambe and the fleeing party members). Unfortunately, they also seem heal the shadow creature a little. Jask gasps. "It's not undead!" she cries.

"Okay, I'm out of here," Sasha says and pulls away. Withdraw to G 76. Alton flies up and follows her (double move to H 71).

Next Up: Makoa, Ishirou, Tar'kanas, Urza, Pezock (panicked), Lorenz, Untari (panicked), Douena (panicked), Mahjik (panicked), Shokambe, Shadow Creature, Jask, Sasha, Alton.
