There is a gathering of grayish-red smoke, and with a loud CRACK! a huge fiery-red beetle appears and attacks Anevia! It's pincers saw into her broken leg, causing her to fall prone on the floor with a cry.
Round One: Group A (Farasha, Sjurd), beetle, Group B (Bollwerk, Kazul, Fabian.) Map posted. GO!
Farasha Aeval |
Farasha swears as the demonic-looking thing appears in their midst, a quick mental inventory leaving her with no other option, she opens fire with her bow, fervently wishing she had better ammunition for such occasions.
longbow RS 1: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 1 = 24
piercing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
longbow RS 2: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12
piercing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Fabian Moldonado |
Sorry! Didn't realize I'd fallen behind. If I can still have my Group B round 1 action, here it is:
Fabian holds up his staff, speaks an arcane word, and activates his Protective Ward. An almost-invisible pulse of energy radiates out from him to a radius of ten feet.
Effect in progress (for 3 more rounds): Allies within 10ft of Fabian get a +1 Deflection bonus to AC.
Farasha Aeval |
Farasha inventories her spells momentarily, but finds nothing of use against so large a foe, so continues firing arrows at the beast.
longbow RS: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 = 15
piercing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
longbow RS: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11
piercing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Old Guy GM |
Farasha's arrow pierces the creature, killing it.
No sooner does it die, than another swirling mist coalesces into a second beetle! This one goes straight for Anevia as well, grabbing her bad leg in its mandibles. She screams in agony as it drags at the broken limb.
Those chairs and tables on the map are present, so if you are going to try and move across them, I need Acrobatics (DC 10), or Dex (DC 15) checks. Or any other action you may want to try.
Group B
Fabian Moldonado |
Fabian takes a step back from the beetle (to square E3). He holds out his staff and speaks some arcane words. An icy ray leaps from his staff in the general direction of the beetle.... However, the ray misses the creature and merely leaves a spot of cold on the ground.
Casting Ray of Frost
Ranged touch attack, including -4 for shooting into melee: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7
Potential cold damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3
Fabian does wonder about the beetle coalescing from the mist; does he recognize a spell or a magical effect in progress?
Spellcraft or Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
(Both have the same bonus.)
Old Guy GM |
Kazul leaps to the table top and hacks the beetle in two. As the pieces settle, Bollwerk's healing brings a pained smile to Anevia's face.
"Th-thank you." Anevia says heavily. "I don't know where..."
"YOU'LL DIE, AND YOUR WIFE WILL FIND YOUR CORPSE IN BED WAITING FOR HER!" screams a voice. A half-orc, dressed red armor, appears out of nowhere in the open doorway. He slashes at the prone Anevia with a wicked-looking ranseur. The blade pierces her side, and she falls unconscious, bleeding profusely from the wound.
"AHAHAHAHAAAA!" the half-orc laughs maniacally, and raises the ranseur to finish her...
New Round, Group A go.
Bollwerk |
Getting really very angry and seeing the poor Anevia hit again Bollwerk moves in to attack the orc.
"Farasha can you channel?"
Farasha Aeval |
With Bollwerk moving to create space, Farashs dashes across the room to Anevia, a prayer already on her lips.
Move to B4
Giving up resist energy to cast Cure Moderate Wounds healing Anevia for: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 6) + 3 = 15 hp.
2nd - Remove Paralysis(d),
1st - Remove Fear(d), Bless, Protection from Evil, (open)
Fabian Moldonado |
Moving over chairs, Fabian circles around behind Farasha, and activates his protective ward.
I can't see the letters on the squares, but he's moving to the square just to the right of Farasha. That way, the ward will include everybody, including the downed Anevia and the prone Bollwerk.
Effect in progress: everybody within 10ft of Fabian gets a +1 Deflection bonus to AC. 3 rounds left.
Bollwerk |
Yep. Am a bit confused. I am not sure how it works as I know quite a few rules.
And also why does sjurd stroke goes awol, if he rolled a 20 first.

Oops, my bad on Sjurd's roll. I was in a hurry and looked at the damage roll instead of the Attack roll, so I thought he critically missed too. Big mistake! As far as critical misses, if you roll a '1' on your initial roll, it is a potential critical miss. Roll again, and if you miss (not roll another '1', just miss) then it confirms the critical miss.
Bollwerk |
Ok no Problem. I understand now. How about if someone doesn´t answer within 3 days you bot him? We had an arrangement like that iirc?
Old Guy GM |
The half-orc steps back and mutters the words to a spell...
A vivid cone of clashing colors springs from his hand, washing over everyone in the doorway and Farasha.
Will saves please, Kazul, Bollwerk, Farasha. DC 13; fail and you are blinded and stunned, pass and no effect. Act accordingly. New Round: PCs are up.
Anevia swoons under the spell and drops unconscious.
Bollwerk |
Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 Falling completly to the floor Bollwerk succumbs to the spell.
My week of REALLY lousy rolls continues
Farasha Aeval |
will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Farasha feels the arcane energies wash over her, sliding away as though deflected by her belief.
No more of that thank you she whispers, half-smiling as she places a single finger to her lips
Shhhhhh.....
Casting silence on the door between the half-orc and Kazul
2nd - Remove Paralysis(d),
1st - Remove Fear(d), Bless, Protection from Evil, (open)

[dice=will save]1d20+5

Casting silence on the door between the half-orc and Kazul
** spoiler omitted **
Did I mention I hate clever, resourceful PCs? ;) Need the others.
Fabian Moldonado |
Finding himself in the radius of a silence spell, Fabian does not cast anything. He stays put, so that his protective ward will continue to help protect his friends.
Action: Total Defense
Effect in progress: everybody within 10ft of Fabian gets a +1 Deflection bonus to AC. 2 rounds left.
Farasha Aeval |
Presuming Kazul moved to C2 when attacking to provide LOS for us ranged types...
Taking full advantage of the magical silence to utter a few choice curse words that their enemy could somehow still cast spells despite her best efforts, Farasha shrugs and goes back to basics, aiming carefully to try and turn the half-orc in to a pincushion.
Mwk longbow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 1 = 19
piercing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Kazul the Bear |
Two things: Unless he cast defensively, the half-orc provokes for casting a spell in a threatened area. Second, even if he cast defensively, he provokes an AoO from Kazul for using ranged ray in a threatened square.
If so: AoO: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (2, 4) + 7 = 13
If spell went off....Kazul's screams of pain thankfully cannot be heard due to the silence. He moves to C1 now and attacks the mage again!
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (3, 1) + 7 = 11
Fabian Moldonado |
Fabian climbs over the table (to square C3) and begins dragging the injured Aenevia away from the door (down on the map) and out of the line of combat.
Effect in progress: everybody within 10ft of Fabian gets a +1 Deflection bonus to AC. 2 rounds left.
