Zinou's Sanos Abduction (#4-05, standard) (Inactive)

Game Master Zinou

Let's bot Darvik so we can finish the battle.

Darvik tries to slash the undead with his scimitar and hits, cutting the massive head off the body.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 for S: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Combat Over, well done!

Riddywhipple deflates from his rage but despite the sudden fatigue seems more determined than ever. "We will hunt down this witch and end her days. Joking's over!"

The faery dragon leads the party to a rocky outcropping overlooking the stream. At the base of the outcropping is a patch of dense shrubbery, behind which is a narrow hole with recent tracks of both animals and humanoids leading to and from it. Those who worm their way into the hole find themselves in the mouth of a gloomy cave. The cave is filled with the horrific stench of rotting, meat, and the air is thick with flies.

I suggest we wait for Darvik's return for the boss fight :)

If there is time, Cirri uses the wand of shield to prepare herself.

I'll do the same. Also, do I need to refresh Mage Armor? Not sure how much time has passed since the battle with the first undead Pegasus.

As the group prepares to climb through the narrow hole, Valjoen reaches into his backpack and draws out a wand. With a little tap, he feels much more protected.

Leepo will summon Scritch again, now that things have quieted down.

I'm back. Thanks GM Zinou, that's exactly what I would have done! :)

Ugh, so don't one of you lot have a spell to take care of this smell? Darvik will lead the way when the party is ready to continue.

Ok for mage armor but I won't allow buffs going off in minutes. You won't have time to cast it before the fight or it'll go off before it.

As you descend slowly, you discover that you are in a charnel house, littered with the corpses of all kinds of forest animals. A passage between the entry chamber and what seems to be the main cavern is lit by torches. When the PCs near this passage some of the corpses suddenly lurch to life and begin to advance.

When you get there, a horrible shouts at you, laughing, "I will peel off your skin! GYAHAHA how fun it was to turn the pegasi into zombies! Oh, I can't wait until Dijjit becomes undead so she can be sent back to eat her friends! GYAHAHAHAHA!" You can't find a way to know where the witch hides, her voice echoing on the cavern's walls.
Your little faerie dragon friend starts crying with pain and rage. He falls on the ground helplessly, cursing the witch, begging you to end her days! And at that very moment, three porcupine appear on the end of the tunnel.

You lot find that voice. I'll take care of the prickly friends.

Darvik charges the closest zombie critter!

"Don't worry, Riddy. We shall avenge your friends!". Valjoen reassures the faerie dragon before heading into battle.

Darvik and Valjoen kill the first flatfooted porcupine.

"Dijitt...I won't let her defile your corpse!..Wherever she is."

Cirri flips through her spellbook and casts some magic. Her muscles seem to bulge briefly. She then draws a wand of shield.

Casting Bull's Strength. Drawing a Wand of Shield as a move action. Using a swift action to enhance my quarterstaff.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 11
"Umm...where are you?" Cirri hefts her staff, which briefly glows blue.

Kel dashes forward, and attempts to spot the witch while making sure to ready himself for an attack.

Casting Bless - +1 morale bonus to attack and saving throws vs. fear to Kel, Scritch, Cirri, and Leepo.

Ulgrok huffs five feet forward in their chain shirt, grumbling over the ground and pulling out a bone-handled wand.

"May the spirits shine through you!" the shaman says as the wand's lip glows with a golden light before washing outwards in a circle thirty feet in radius, settling in and bringing forth feelings of courage and certainty.

Ulgrok supports her allies while Cirri and Kel try to find where the witch is hiding, without success.

Leepo is still up!

"No! Not zombie porcupines!" How often does one get to shout that appropriately?

Leepo and Scritch both move forward, looking for the witch. Each has crossbow loaded and ready to fire, if she is revealed.

Leepo and Scritch get ready to fight but when the witch shows herself, both miss their shots. As she appears, Valjoen senses a growing dread in his soul. He must flee the horrible witch!
The two remaining porcupines come to face the party but move too slowly to fight.

Save will Valjoen: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

"There you are! I'm sick and tired of undead creatures appearing everytime I go somewhere!"

Cirri hustles up the steps, then applies the wand of shield upon herself before dropping the stick. "Let's squish these critters quick- Valjoen, where are you going?" She sees the warrior flee. Man, he's been a punching bag for their mental effects recently... poor guy.

Cirri prepares to parry and riposte the porcupine as it closes in with her magically enhanced strength.
Parry: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 2 = 27
Riposte: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 = 24

Attack, Flanking: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

A feeling of dread over takes the northman, and he turns to flee toward the cave exit.

Seeing a strategic opportunity, Darvik slides to his right in order to gain a flanking advantage on one of the enemies!

Scimitar: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 for Damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
Shield: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 for Damage: 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Ulgrok sees Valjeon pass by and pulls a scroll from their bag. Reading the words rapidly, the spell bursts out, warming those around and settling on Valjeon.

Casting remove fear from a scroll targetting Valjeon.

Leepo mixes a few reagents quickly and throws the concoction at the witch.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Fire Damage, direct hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Attack, PBR, soft cover: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 1 - 4 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Cirri protects herself magically and moves, preparing against a threat. Darvik and Kel take care of another porcupine who falls, bashed, pierced and slashed to death. Valjoen flees in fear but Ulgrok catches him, soothing his feelings. Leepo throws a bomb at the witch but fails to connect, dealing only splash damage to her. Scritch misses his shot.
The witch disappears with a wide grin.
The remaining porcupine full attacks Kel, too close to its mistress, but misses both attacks.

DPZr vs Kel, bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
DPZr vs Kel, slam: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Cirri's AC is 19

Bless - +1 morale bonus to attack and saving throws vs. fear to Kel, Scritch, Cirri, and Leepo.

Ulgrok clanks forward and furrows their brow in concern, moving forward and looking for the woman.

Feeling much better about the situation, Valjoen turns and races back into the battle.

Double move back. Thanks Ulgrok!

Cirri hits AC 15, not 14, thanks to Ulgrok.

That's what scrolls of remove fear are for! I feel so glad I got to actually use it :)

Cirri: they have a mighty AC of... 11. xD

Ulgrok blesses the party, while Valjoen gets back to business. Cirri hits hard, but not all damage seem to pass. The porcupine still stands!

DPZr [8]

Darvik takes a 5' step forward to attack the last porcupine zombie!

Scimitar: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 for Damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
Shield: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 for Damage: 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Shield Confirm?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 for Damage: 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

That might do it.

Darvik hacks and slashes the poor-cupine in two.

Leepo and Kel are up :)

Bump!

Kel readies himself to move and assault the witch as soon as someone can make her visible.
Delay

<-- Pokes the Halfling!

Leepo?

Its been a while so to move it along lets say she repeats the last round actions.

Leepo mixes a few reagents quickly and throws the concoction at the witch.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Fire Damage, direct hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Attack, PBR, soft cover: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 1 - 4 = 10
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

OK, maybe I shouldn't have done that, ugh.

The witch disappeared the round before. Let's say she uses the same roll but with her crossbow. I don't like to use limited ressources when boting.

Kel waits for the witch appear again while Leepo and Scritch shoot at the witch's former position but the arrows don't seem to hit anyone.
A quill flies into Cirri's flesh and another one misses Darvik. Cirri feels poison coursing through her veins.

Quill vs Cirri: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20

"Ow!" Cirri yelps when the quill buries itself. "There you are!"

Cirri charges straight after the witch.

"You leave the dead alone!" Cirri applies her enhanced strength to clobber the witch.

Cold Damage: 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 6, 2, 5) + 4 = 21

Morigana [47]

So are you the one causing all this trouble here? Darvik charges the witch!

Charge!: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 2 = 20 for Damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Kel's Delay/Readied Action

As soon as the witch reappears, Kel dashes forward, attempting to get into range. Cirri and Darvik beat him there, though, and he's forced to leap over Cirri before striking.
Ki Point used to increase speed by 20 ft.

I have been plagued by low rolls this entire game. Geez.

Darvik manages to land a solid blow and Kel's last swing drops the witch, bleeding to death.

Out of combat!

During your search of the cave, you discover Dijjit, Ignizi's kidnapped assistant, in a small chamber. The orange-haired gnome's unconscious body is riddled with pukwudgie quills and Rogzul sees that she will quickly become a zombie unless she is cured of the poison.

What do you do?

"Finally! The witch is dead." Cirri pants as the witch falls. "Let's find any survivors. Maybe we can save them before- oh no!"

Cirri frowns as she sees Dijjit's body. "I'm no good at this. Can someone purge the poison from her body?" Cirri raises her staff. "Or should I prepare to...put her down?"

"We should get her back to the cottage and Ignizi. Perhaps she can cure her if none of us have the power."

You sense that if you wait more than one day, she'll transform into an undead.

Would antitoxin help? I have a vial of that we could give her.

Leepo searches the bodies to see if they happen to have some sort of cure.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Valjoen has Ulgrok tap her with his Wand of Cure Light Wounds, and attempts to heal her in anyway he can.

Heal: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18

He will then carefully search all of the cave.

Perception, take 20: 20 + 5 = 25

"Yeah, let's try the antitoxin. Maybe it will buy us some time to get her back to Iginzi."
Heal (Assist): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (14) - 1 = 13
"I'll help her recover in anyway that I can."

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 2
"Uh, do you see anything in here? I just see some rocks."
