Nearly gods... (Inactive)

Game Master BloodWolven

I'm just outside I was talking to him

Here's my issue: I entered, specifically saying that the snow storm was non damaging(Which Wolf said was fine, aside from 1d6 damage). Then I went to bed. I awake to find myself being attacked.

Had I an opportunity to have done so, as soon as Alton made his comment about snow angels, BEFORE combat(surprise rounds included), I would have fallen to the ground and began making my snow angel. But I couldn't, cuz I was asleep. Almost seems like I'm being screwed over for having to go bed, which by the way, was like 2am for me.

You're being attacked because you appear to be hostile coming in the way you did, and specifically because you're using your offensive abilities to come in through a snow storm... I'm pretty sure you have/can have control weather... Which could of done what you wanted without flavoring, you'd just be casting a high lvl spell before coming in. You even clarified it as those offensive abilities.

Seeing a melee break out Mr. Ziggles is itching to slash something. Someone had said something about a pain train?

"A pain train eh? Well here is the Pain Dozer.."
Then leaning forward and tickling the rhinos ear he whispered "Mr. Heavyfoot. Stomp."
free action handle animal, use trample maneuver.
Free action Rage, Swift action Raging Brutality.

With that Mr. Heavyfoot starts trundling forward, gaining speed and momentum, finally lowering his head when he reaches Sir Henrique, a look of slack-jawed horor on his finely chisseled face at the sight of the 2 tonned armored juggernaut coming his way.
Full round action, Trample, move 80ft
Ok, I am going to see if I can get this all right, saving at least 1 AOO for each target and attacking Sir Henrique then Wilbur then TTT and then Mr. Snowman :)

Sorry it took so long :P I had to have supper in the middle of that.
So that should be something like....
410 damage, 468 if Mr. Heavyfoot hits you with a 37.
You are paniced, prone and shaken for 13 rounds.

Then I will pretty much do similar numbers to the next 3 people :P
I have used 4 rounds of rage and 1 AOO from both me and the rhino...
Good thing I didn't charge, that would have been +15 damage and x2 at least ^-^
I'll get to work on the rest of it here, should go quicker thanks to copy/paste.

I'm sure you're awake now having replied several times, any chance you can get some stats out there? What gear you're wearing... etc... ya know a character sheet... So far all we know are the class abilities you have from your two classes that you've copy and pasted

Working on it.

to be fair, it took me a couple of days to get my sheet looking the way it looks. let's not be overly hostile to Frosty.

I know, and I only just now got everything finalized and accurate, but still it's been a week and we have to go on are copy and pasted abilities, not even anything that takes efforts beyond his stats.

Ahh rocket tag. I have lost you... such is life.

btw you can do subdual if you want, it's only a -4 to your rolls, also depending on how much damage you can do, you can take out the mount before it runs you over =D-edit-really surprised you didn't enter crane style and go defensive fighting...

Here is what has happened.

TTT in surprise round got to the possibly threatening figure.
Oom casted a spell.
Sir Henrique jumped into the fray to trip and disarm TTT, though failed.

Wilber moves in and hits the Ice King once.
Ivanna says a few pretty words to the halfling.
The pain train gains speed and tramples through everyone until it gets to TTT and gets stopped in its tracks.

All the trampling damage is non-lethal.

Ice King while being trampled, has a contingency spell that teleports him away.

Did I miss anyone?

All of the buildings look to be delapetated hovels, almost falling apart.

If you make just an ooc comment here in the gameplay thread you should instead put it in the discussion thread. Please keep here just to the game.

he actually can't teleport due to phase locking on the tetsubo, every time he's hit he's basically dimensional anchor'd for 1 rd.

@GM, Sorry about that. I'll make sure my posts are all productive. But now that the "fight" is over, let's hope that when Ice King re-enters we all have a more peaceful gathering. I know I was partly to blame for that and should have thought about inciting more reasons to hit the trigger.

After witnessing the strength of only a few of the individuals, Ivanna knew that she was clearly no match for any of them on a head on confrontation. Even the man that came with the blizzard was unphased by her magic and managed to escape a brutal beating that would have killed most men and beast alike. Perhaps the fate of the ice wizard was do to the work of someone else.

Ivanna turned to speak to the halfling this time, "Did you have something to do with casting that man in the blizzard away?"

Calling out to those further out, "Perhaps now would be the best time to decide what we wish to do. I know that some of you are here by chance, while others for specific goals. These goals might best be obtained as a group."

Thinking to herself, "Yes, these men are strong and could all serve me well. If only I could find the strings to make them dance..."

looks at the withered snow king, and proceeds to do a full attack option on him, he seems terrified of another winter king ruling[/ooc]

1d20 + 34 ⇒ (5) + 34 = 392d8 + 42 ⇒ (6, 4) + 42 = 52
1d20 + 29 ⇒ (16) + 29 = 452d8 + 42 ⇒ (3, 8) + 42 = 53
1d20 + 24 ⇒ (11) + 24 = 352d8 + 42 ⇒ (1, 8) + 42 = 51
1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 222d8 + 42 ⇒ (8, 4) + 42 = 54

Woo! that's one nasty ice devil that won't be all up in this humpty hump bothering our business!

looks to the girls

You ok babaaby, I hope this violence didn't bother you

Let's see, un-buffed, my AC is 39. The highest to hit was 56. Who wants to make a bet I can jack my AC up, and thus not be hit at all??

it's funny you say your armor is +10 but don't say how, so until you finalize your gear you're exactly at the ac you say, which means the first two hit if not more. Second, if you want cast while I'm there go for it... which means you spend your standards to buff it. We can't "say you ac is higher" without a mechanical reason for it, same reason I didn't say my cmd was a 90... there's no reason for it to be.

-edit- also you don't have how you get a NA of +8, you have no gear listed etc... seriously why are you fighting something you spend so little effort trying to interact with?

The body of the crazy ice man shatters under Terry's attacks...

In a few rounds the blizzard stops, and just snows.

alton goes over to the shattered body and casts restore corpse on it.

It would be 'corpse', not corps.
Get some good flavor in, if nothing else go for cheesy, remember that is the flavor of the game. Is there a glow to your spell, what somatics or verbals do you say, etc.

Alton, you don't know why, but nothing happens.

well for one necromancers who make it this far usually learn to be somewhat discrete, but sure
the green energy fades around the corpse and to alton's surprise nothing happened
he murmurs quietly and does a few simple hand signs and his eyes glow blue
arcane sight see anything?

The rest of you can see...

"Oh joy, it is already happening, wait... no, that means someone is already at the controls. Not good, I need four people who can swim to go into the lake to the turbulence and swim down to the temple, four of you to charge up over to that hill who have arcane sight or detect magic and enter the white doorway, and whoever can become small like me to come with me, and three of you to go over to that stark black elm tree." Baris the halfling takes charge and orders directions to be taken in his high pitched fun tune, though still male.

Now that he says it, those with detect magic or arcane sight can see a white doorway way off, 200 to 300 feet to the South. A Dark Elm tree to the North, it appears to be dead, that was not there when you arrived, you think, it is prominent.

perception 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (10) + 26 = 36
will save 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28D'oh so close, if it helps I have both SR and elven immunities
"and who might you be" he says to the halfling.

Ivanna:

You hear a voice in your head, it is male, exotic, strong and confident, yet very smooth. You likely don't like where this is going. "What webs we string, isn't that how the saying goes?"

A shiver runs down Ivanna's spine as the words penetrate her mind. She tries to clear her mind but can't help thinking, "Mind readers..."

Oneiros's Perception Check: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Ivanna's Perception Check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Trying her best to shake it off when she hears the halfling, it is less than a second before she decides which task seems the least unpleasant.

"I'll take to the elm tree. I'm not much of a swimmer," says Ivanna assuming that everyone knows that running up a hill in robes is not a task befitting of a 'queen'.

"You said controls... for what? I will need a few moments to prepare, but I need to know what it is we are facing."

Ivanna currently does not have Detect Magic up, nor any permanent ability to detect/see magical auras.

looks at the shattered body of ice

It was an ice golem! not even a real creature! I bet the terrible ice king sent this just to test us! Although I wonder why such a horrible creature would play in the snow during it's final moments.... so odd.

he goes over to the little man

That's quite a task, I can do some swimming if you want though for sure, I need it after all this traveling! Hah! But what do you think is happening?

Having ran over a couple of people (Mr. Ziggles was not sure how many...), Mr. Heavyfoot kept going, not slowing down until he hit a house. Turns out the house was unusually sturdy and made of stone and so with a resounding crash Mr. Heavyfoot came to a halt.

Dusting himself off Mr. Ziggles dusted himself off and looked around.
Perception Check: 1d20 - 7 ⇒ (8) - 7 = 1
Yay! I beat the DC 0 check ^-^
At least noticing the weather changing a bit and overhearing "the plan" Mr. Ziggles gleefully turns to Mr. Heavyfoot and exclaims
"Is time to go swimming!
Grabing the rhino by the ears and thrusting them forward harshly, Mr. Heavyfoot takes off at a gallop towards the lake.
Yes I am taking my steel covered rock out to sea ^-^
Full round action run for the rhino.
About how far from the beach are we?
320ft move towards the lake.

Will Save: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (16) + 24 = 40

Perception Check: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (1) + 33 = 34

Elwë eyes would narrow as they were assualted with the sudden in flux of magic. As the halfling started to speak, he would scan the area and quickly make reference of the different spots the strange man spoke of.

"What needs to be done beyond that white doorway?" Elwë would inquire.

Seeing no one headed to the white door, the Dr. heads thst way in a hurry. If there seems to be more rush than his running legs allow, he will take out an Adrenaline Amplification Ampoule and double his speed.

will: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (15) + 22 = 37

"what do we do behind the white door?"

Aye I can do small. The tiny man gives a broad smile to the halfling.

Wilbur runs to the lake and dives in, causing huge waves to crash onto the shore.
Swim: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (1) + 24 = 25

The Zigglester and Mr. Two-Tonnedfoot dive into the water and start swimming... Where, even they are not sure :D
1 means he goes left, 2 means he goes in the right direction, 3 means he goes right.
direction: 1d3 ⇒ 1
Left it is!
Swim Check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Mr. Heavyfoot plows ahead at a leisurely 35 ft per round, heading right for the left hand shore, obviously not headed for the big glowing rune in the sky (how can he possibly miss it?)

"I would be the one that is summoning those that wish to become gods, though there are many contenders and some may have divined spots that are essential, the spots I have spoken, you either try your best or let another take your spot. Up to you. You are likely to meet creatures much like yourself, very powerful and capable." Baris shrugs and goes to the building, the one solid building, side steps the beartrap, opening the door and waits for any others to join him.

The group going to the lake, it will take about 120 feet to get to the lake. Then 250 feet out to the bubbles, then 80 feet down to the temple door.

"well then, I can definitely suspend my little vacation for a chance to become a god," he grins widely "should be fun" and with that he heads towards the white door with his robot in toe.

Elwë's eyebrow would raise a slight degree, betraying the emotion upon his face that was mostly hidden behind the scarf wrapped around it's lower half.

Seeing Alton starting off, following along behind The Tinkerer, Elwë would fall in line behind him. More than happy to allow another to spring any trap that might lay before them.

"Alone again... finally!" thought Ivanna; her thoughts betraying her true emotions. Fearing being without company, especially in dangerous times, she immediately set to work to summon another bodyguard.

Calling out out into the abyss, fell magics summoned forth just the creature she would need. One to stand watch and be difficult to take down, Ivanna summoned forth a Glabrezu Demon to do her bidding. She would extend his contract until this unforseen threat was overcome.

Ivanna has casted Summon Monster XI from her Wizard prepared list. Burn spells left and right, lol. Going to have this duration be permanent as per my capstone, but will dismiss it once the forseen threat from the encounter(s) is over. Ivanna has the Augment Summoning feat, so it has an additional +2 Att/DMG/CMB/CMD, and +24 HP. Going to assume HP is normal and not maxed like the PCs. The demon has a constant True Seeing effect.

Upon the arrival of her new minion, Ivanna commands the demon, "Use your Mirror Image effect and keep a look out for me. Your eyes as better than mine. I do not know what threat we face, but I am sure it is one that will require all our efforts."

Ivanna, you are correct. The Demon nods to Ivanna.

swim: 1d20 + 35 ⇒ (19) + 35 = 54

My name is Oom, this is as small as I go.
He is pretty small. as in diminutive.

Baris is small, "Come on the smaller the better!" then he turns into a ferret. The ferret then goes down in the hole for a rat or smaller creature, Oom can easily follow.

Soon enough you both reach a room, where the ferret turns into a halfling again. "Oh good, no one is here, if they were they would be sitting on the throne."

Will Save DC 25 or be compelled to go sit on the Throne Oom.

____________________

Swim DC 10 allows most people to stay a float.

Swim group, once you get within 50 feet of the temple, A DC 25 swim check means go gain no progress fail the DC by 5 and you lose 30 feet of progress. A DC 30 means you make progress, 30 feet. Thus you will need two successes to get to the temple.

____________________

White Door individuals do you cast any spells on yourself before you walk in? Do you do any other actions before going in, please be very descriptive.

Heading towards the Black Elm Tree

You don't see anything with a cursory look over the area, and neither does your demon. What do you do?

before opening the door Alton casts a countervailing cantrip to reduce the effects his headache, then casts true seeing to ensure he is not caught unaware maze 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22 madness 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (18) + 19 = 37 please roll spell resistance if I failed either of those

Will: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (8) + 21 = 29
Oom takes a few seconds to cast detect magic on the throne.

Swim: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (10) + 24 = 34
Swim: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (10) + 24 = 34
Wilbur continues forward towards the temple.

failed the maze INT check to get out, 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
