Nightflier's Midnight Game Thread

Game Master nightflier

Set in the grim world of Aryth, Nightflier's Midnight is a game that speaks of almost futile hope that shines against the darkness.

Ilona's blade clangs futilely on a dwarven armor and three-eyed dwarf in front of her grins savagely, showing his rotten teeth.


Solvistania, on hearing the beautiful elvish tongue coming from the corrupted Shadowspawn dwarf, seems to spark a fury from deep inside her, she never knew existed.

in High Elvish, with a note of fury:

Spoiler:
"Spawn of Shadow, you corrupt piece of filth, How dare you insult my heritage so! I will send your scrawny minions and your blasphemous tongue to to the ground for their just deserved reward!"

She summons from her heart another red tinged missile, heedless of the cost now, only wanting this one obliterated.

Cast Magic Missile at the head Ritualist, damage 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2


Female Erenlander Spiritual Chaneller 5

As four dwarves converge on Ragnar, Gilian moves just behind the tough Dorn. She swing her atharak round a few times and let it go between the legs of the warrior to hit the dwarf in from of him.

Gilian has 10 feet reach

attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15, damage 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Surprisingly, gentle healer bashes the head of a dwarf attacking the Northman.

Cast Magic Missile at the head Ritualist, damage 1d4+1

Ritualist shuders, taking the hit and just smiles.

High Elvish:
I'm gonna rape you till your eyes bleed, you pale whore
, he says and raises his hand in prayer to his dark god.

Male Human (Dorn) Wildlander / 1

Sorry for the delay, busy weekend...

Eyvindr strides towards the nearest foe and plunges his sword into him...

15 + 6 = 21 (23 if some of the dwarves are Fell); damage: 5 + 4 = 9 (11 if undead) .

He then whirls to strike another one (using cleave feat, and assuming that there another dwarf or deformed dwarf is adjacent to Eyvindr).

7 + 6 = 13 (15 if Fell); damage: 4 + 4 = 8 (10 if undead) .

Round 2 attack

The man-bear continues to advance fearlessly, sword swinging in wide arcs and glancing quickly over his shoulder to make sure his little brother is fine...

Attack: 5 + 6 = 11 (13 if Fell); Damage: 2 + 4 = 6 (8 if Fell).

Dwarven armor protects the dwarves from Dorn's mighty strokes, so that only one of them meets death's cold gaze. Their short swords whip out towards his heart, like snake tongues seeking mice.

1d20 ⇒ 201d6 ⇒ 5
1d20 ⇒ 161d6 ⇒ 1

The first blade cuts deep through wildlander's armor, but the second is turned away.

Dark Archive

Trying to surround Ragnar, deformed dwarves move under his spear and stab at him with their swords.
1d20 ⇒ 191d6 ⇒ 4
1d20 ⇒ 151d6 ⇒ 6

The swords bite deep into Northman's flesh and the blood spurts. But the Dorn just grunts, taking the hits - and fights on.

Dark Archive

With feral light in their eyes, the dwarven guards attack Ilona with some strange lust.

1d20 ⇒ 181d6 ⇒ 6
1d20 ⇒ 111d6 ⇒ 5

One of the blades wounds her savagely, but the other misses its mark.

Dark Archive

With huge grins, the last of the guards attacks Pete. 1d20 ⇒ 121d6 ⇒ 61d20 ⇒ 181d6 ⇒ 6

Black Tongue:
Halfings are good eating!
, one of them says something in the tongue of Shadow, after wounding Pete with his sword.

Dark Archive

The ritualist's voice reaches a crescendo in a vile prayer to Izrador. His wounds close and he immediately starts another one.

Next round

With an arrow to the head, Sky kills the guard in front of Chops. Then he draws his knives and moves to help Ilona.


Female Human (Sarcosan) Fighter 2/ Chaneller 3

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 1d12 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

As the blade bites into her supple form Ilona's sweeping strike is thrown wide, clanging into the ground.

"Dammit, wanna try that again you little bastard?"


Female Erenlander Spiritual Chaneller 5

Stemming the flow of Ragnar blood, Gilian puts her hand on Ragnar's back and chants softly, focusing her energy to cast Cure light wounds for 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12.

Back to full health


As the dwarf goes down with an arrow in it, Chops turns to the third of his attackers with a front kick.
Attack 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

The kick swishes over the runt as hit dodges the blow. Seeing the opening, Chops brings his axe down...
Attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Damage 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

male halfling rogue 1

Pete howls in pain as the sword bites deep into him.

Black tongue:

Spoiler:
"Fool! Maybe I eat you first."

He tries to maneuver to flank one of his attackers as he lashes out with his new, deadlier talons.

Assuming he can flank...
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 201d4 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 4 + (4) = 10

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 171d4 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 4 + (2) = 7

If he can't flank, reduce the attack roll by 2 and remove the 1d6 sneak attack damage


Solvistania doesm't bother replying to the head ritualist, although she mutters an elvish curse after seeing her work undone. She lashes out with another missile at the main ritualist.

Magic Missile, 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Mightflier, can I get a count on who is still alive and where they are at please?

Little halfling savages the dwarfs with his claws, killing both of them in single strikes.

Two in front of Ragnar, two in front of Ilona (Sky moves to help her), two in front of Eyvindr and one in front of Chops. Plus the ritualist.

"Izrador!" cries the dwarf in robes and Solvistania feels strange cold fingers reaching for her brain. Will save, please.


Will save 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 add +2 racial saving throw bonus against Enchantment spells or effects.

Heals Ragnar

Ragnar yanks his massive wolf-hilted bastard sword free of it's scabbard, dropping his spear as the dwarves force themselves past it. (move action, does not provoke) Grunting as their blows pierce his flesh his grim mask hardens and his eyes blaze (enters Rage)

He brings his blade down on his enemy with a powerful overhand chop. 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 damage 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Rolled a 1. We using any sort of fumble rules?


Raven Spiritual Channeler 5

Muni sits on Solvistania's shoulder, well away from the violence and watches the battle. As the warmth of Gilian's healing spreads over Ragnar, the raven chuckles at the doomed dwarves. "Oh those poor, poor bastards." As the massive Dorn misses terribly, the bird cringes. "Oh. c'mon!"

As Solvistania struggles against the effects of the Dark MAgic, the bird snaps it's attention to her and firmly pecks her on he side of the head. "Oh, no you don't. Stay here. No perch o' mine's gonna get enspelled."

I don't think Aid Another works for saves, but if the enchantment takes, Muni's going to spend the round trying to snap her out of it.

Yes, we do. Since your weapon is not magical, I'm afraid it snaps in two. Of course, you can reforge it. Although, I can't believe my luck. You breaking that sword fits my story like a glove. :)

Dark Archive

Powerful rage clutches Deathspeaker's heart and his massive thews swing a blade in a deadly arc - that misses the shoulder of the vile dwarf in front of him and clangs on the stone floor, snapping in half. Upon seeing his fateful blade broken, a bleak despair grabs Ragnar by the throat, but he does not give in to it. Barbarian remembers makeshift flail that he made earlier and he grabs it, fully intending to bash the heads of the dwarves in front of him with it. You can use it as a flail with 1d4 damage, unless you want to do something different, of course.

Dark Archive

Deadly sword once again strikes at Chops' heart... 1d20 ⇒ 171d6 ⇒ 2 and once again strikes with a superficial wound, but many stings can bring down even a mighty bear.

Dark Archive

"He-he, whore, we rape you, than eat you. Maybe same time!" spits one of the dwarfs as he and his companion attack Ilona.

1d20 ⇒ 171d6 ⇒ 1
1d20 ⇒ 21d6 ⇒ 2

But they manage only to cut her cheek.

Dark Archive

Unlike those facing beautiful Sarcossan, those attacking Eyvindr are silent as their opponent, perhaps sensing the cold hand of Lady Death that guides his sword.

1d20 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 3
1d20 ⇒ 101d6 ⇒ 5

Eyvindr blocks the strike of the first dwarf, breaking his blade in progress and evades the other.

Dark Archive

Blowing his whistle once again, the ritualist stabs at Chops' back with his wicked long dagger. 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 131d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 But the dworg easily evades it. "I will rip your heart out, mongrel!", screams the servant of Dark God in rage.

Solvistania easily shakes the attempt on her mind, proving that her mighty intellect is stronger than the wiles of the darkspawn.

Dark Archive

Next round

Sky moves to engage the dwarfs attacking Ilona. His knives flash, but both dwarves seem to rely on their armor to stop them. Ignoring elven blades, both of them strike at Sky from bellow and their stabbing swords bite at his heart, killing him. He blinks... and then he is no more.


Solvistania, once she shrugs off the enspelling, turns to the bird on her shoulder, and whispers, "Please stop that, you're hurting me!"

When she sees the death of Sky'tor, she sees a red haze envelope her vision, accompanied by a feeling of grief and rage suffusing her soul, she struggles to avoid being consumed by the emotions, but her only action is to release it by an inarticulate scream of madness.

Chops turns to him and yells, "Backstabber!" before spinning around with his urutuk, chopping at him in a sidways arc.

Attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Damage 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
.
Assuming he is still alive
Chops uses his spinning momentum to bring his foot up in a back kick towards the ritualists chest.

Attack 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

"Who you calling a mongrel, freak!?!"

With two savage blows, Chops pushes the ritualist against the altar, wounding him severely in the process. "I'm gonna piss in your slashed throat, abomination!" And then he raises his hand to cast a spell.


Solvistania, her eyes still blurred by her tears, now falling uncontrollably down her face, sees the head ritualist catsing another spell, and screams, "No, you've drawn your last breath, you abomination!" Cast Magic Missile at him damage 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Anyone want to take bets on what Chops does after the combat?

Jerk. You made me snort ice tea up my nose. Ever had an ice cream headache and a coughing fit at the same time? Unfun. In related news, I can't wait to see this...

Snapped off at the hilt, or am I holding an awesome Narsil-like broken blade? If it's like that, I'll still use it to stab him with.

Either way, I'll assume it does a D4, but that I can still 2-hand it.

Attack1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10. Damage 1d4 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11


Female Erenlander Spiritual Chaneller 5

"Stop waving your blade around like that, you're going to hurt yourself." says Gilian, ducking to evade the shattered greatsword splinters.
"Some of our people are getting hurt her and I can't do anything", she adds, with a little frustration in her voice.

Again, she uses the bulk of the Dorn to conceal her attack and 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12, damage 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Edit : misses her target.

It's broken at the middle, where the blade looses elasticity, but you have missed anyway.

The enraged Dorn says nothing, hardly seeming to notice that his blade has broken. He continues to fight on grimly, silent as death.

Muni on the other hand, lifts off of Solvistania's shoulder as she cries in anguish. "Ain't nothin' you can do for the elf now, lady. I know a dead guy when I see one." he says to Gillian. "You're right though. This ain't goin' well."

Muni flies to the other side of one of the dwarves threatening and providing flanking for Ragnar and Gillian, and uses Aid Another on Ragnar's next attack, by flapping around the dwarves to distract them. Should be a +4 bonus to his next attack, and a +2 on hers. Hopefully it will be enough.


Female Human (Sarcosan) Fighter 2/ Chaneller 3

Time seems to slow for Ilona. Snarling from the scratched cheek her snappy retort dies in her throat as she ses the blades plunge into Sky.

She turns, feeling as if she were underwater, sees the spark in hiseyes go dim. A shriek pierces the air...Solvi....rage seems to shake the very air...Ragnar...she can feel the strike through the hearts of every member of their group.


male Dorn Barbarian 2, Spiritual Channeler 2

Assuming the flanking and Aid Another from Muni work, here's ragnar's attack for next round

Attack 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31 damage 1d4 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10


male Dorn Barbarian 2, Spiritual Channeler 2

Crit confirm roll 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15 bonus crit damage 1d4 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8


male halfling rogue 1

Pete limps forward to one of the remaining enemies and slashing with his claws.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 221d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7


Female Human (Sarcosan) Fighter 2/ Chaneller 3

She feels it well up like a surging tide, the need to end this before any of the others fall, and she responds. Her blade becomes a glowing rose blur as it passes, like a whispering night wind across the twisted body of one of the dwarves.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
1d12 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Confirm
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
1d12 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Every eye is drawn as the dwarf seems to part, like a field of wheat before the thresher. Tainted blood paints the air and above it all, a roaring wordless battlecry in a voice of sheer fury, that sends the fading elf's spirit along its way. Complete in the knowledge that he has been avenged.

It is the sound of justice.
