On the Ring World

Game Master Capt Wombat

Gigar pops out his mind blades as he hears them scurrying down the stairs but fails to react fast enough for his AoO.
Round 1
HP: 42

"Oh...skund..."

Initiative:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Scarlet simply drops her glowing weapon as her hands deftly move to her gear about her person.

Important point of clarification.

Is.this.a.swarm.?

Very important clarification actually. Maybe my alchemist Fire will be put to use ;)

Initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Gurrsmaggle leaps into action attempting to aid Gigar in combat.

Round 1
HP 60

initiative: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (17) + 0 = 17
to hit: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27+2 if able to flank with anybodydamage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (5, 1) + 19 = 25"flaming crap basket. Gigar, why didn't you have your weapons at the ready?"

Not a swarm but swarms

1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Big nasty looking black rats, little red eyes looking at you all and sharp teeth, lots and lots of teeth. A squirming and squeaky mass of rats with rotting flesh, torn and matted fur, and reddish blazing eyes moves toward you. Their semi-translucent skin shows discolored bones and muscle.

Rat Swarm 1: Gos for 1d7 ⇒ 6
Rat Swarm 2: Gos for 1d7 ⇒ 3

1:Jack
2:Anne
3:Scarlet
4:Hall
5:Gur
6:Zaeltor
7:Gigar

"Annie! FIRE!" Scarlet yells, even as she throws some fire of her own.

Att Roll:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Dam Roll:2d64 ⇒ (8, 13) = 21

Bugger a knowledge roll! Simple typecasting will get me y just fine thank'e. Horde of disgusting looking little critters swarming at me? Ya, fire in the hole!

Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Kn Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Its a shadow swarm, it can drain your strenght. You need area effect fire spell. Don't try cold spell they are undead therefore immune. Weapon are about 50% effective against them says jack as reciting from a book he commited to memory

Annie - daddy warbucks would like to know your action, if ever there was a time for an initi higher than 10 and lots of fire now is the time.

Going to simplify cambat

Initis befor bad guys 10 and after as 2 blocks

sorry had to visit wife in hospital today will post after dinner

Hall charges the rats going for Scarlet
to hit: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18+2 if able to flank with anybodydamage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (4, 2) + 19 = 25

initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Annie fiddles through her bag and pulls out a small sealed bag.

Annie tries to spy the best spot to toss the bag at the swarm thing.

Once she sees an opportunity she toss the bag Duck! hehehhe

The bag strikes and explodes in a small blast of fiery goo (pathfinder version of Napalm grenade)

ranged touch: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 DC 20 reflex or catch fire plus DC 15 reflex or become entangled in the fiery goo.

failed reflex vs catching fire = 1d6 fire damage every round for 2 rounds

splash damage is 1 point fire damage in 5' radius

all is good she comes home Monday...problems i rather not say in a public forum

[ooc]immune to flanking, sorry Hall. You did 12 damage Hugh, Boo ya,

Looking at his bow, Zaeltor is almost certain individual arrows cannot do much against such a mass of creatures - he does his best to survey the area for other menaces, and leaves the swarm to those able to deal with it.

you just do half damage

Annie growls with frustration the rats did not catch on fire. her eyes glow red and the fiery rune on her forehead glows

Time for Lala to play Annie growls angrily

and the small fires created by her tangleburn bag sink into the stone. soon the stone forms into hot magma and from the stone floor a blob of living Magma erupts out and spews forth a pool of magma around itself.

Summon monster II as a standard action (summoner ability)

see profile for Lala stats

Lala erupts from floor and her action is her lava puddle ability Annie summoned Lala in the middle of the swarm so the swarm takes: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5 fire damage no save and continues for 1d3 ⇒ 1 rounds inflicting another 1d6 ⇒ 6 fire damage each round.

the area containing Lala is considered difficult terrain

forgot the rats will also take 1d4 ⇒ 3 fire damage when they attack Lala and another DC 9 reflex to avoid catching on fire

Round 1
staff: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 161d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Jack will attack the nearest swarm

My second attack would have missed (I was counting the flanking bonus)

AOO: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Gurrsmaggle slashes at the swarm of rats and his first blade clears a path through 3 or 4 of them. Unfortunately he misjudged the speed of the others and there were none in their place as his second blade glides through the air.

Round 1(cont)
AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Gigar takes a 5 ft step / move action to strike at the nearest swarm.

attack 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Miss

GM Capt Wombat, since Zaeltor was way out there in the back of the room, behind the overturned boxes, with Jack standing protectively in front of him, is he still reached by the swarm? If he is still being attacked:

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Seeing that the swarm is clearly not being dealt with the expediency he was expecting, Zaeltor decides to react - taking a step back, he fires his bow at point blank against the incoming swarm.

Flurry 1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Flurry 1 Crit Confirmation: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28Additional Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Flurry 2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Sweet rolls. Still hoping I am not being attacked after all :D

Rats 2 On Scarlet

Yes, its 4 damage becaise my mind blades deal blunt damage. Not sure if that was raken into account so round 3 is just a full attack.

attack 1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

attack 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

With the hits the group pound down the last rat swarm falls away to dust.

all is silent once more but...

Combat over.

Only Scarlet got hit and is weak
needs medical help and DC rolls for sickness

mission clock 9:38:01am

looking around you see the rats are now just dust.
but they came from above and above there is now a Ticking sound,
dull deep, static and not far away, like the sound of a massive clock.

The air is moving a cool blow of fresh air comes down the steps leading up.

perception to tell where the ticking is coming from: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Hold up, I hear something.

Hall strains his ears for a sound perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

"Tick.........Tock..........tick.........tock..."

"Is it a construct? Somekida machine, maybe a giant clock?"

We better just get a move on. Lets head up. That's where the fresh air is coming from.

waiting to hear if Annie summoned Lala or not. not sure where she was in the init order and the rats may have been dead before her turn. or if it looked like the rats were a gonner easily then she would not have wasted the summon

No Annie

no as in not summoned?

Right then, now that these have been taken off lets go explore where that tic toc sound is coming from

Gurrsmaggle will stealthily move up the stairs looking for traps.

Stealth: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (16) + 21 = 37
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

I don't mean to sound harsh, but if the ticking sound is from some kind of explosive, I'd as soon not be in the blast radius. Let us investigate outside first, and if its still there when we come back, then we can take care of it.
With that Gigar begins to follow Gurrsmaggle up the stairs.
stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

"excellent point...."

Yep

Gurr
you go up a ways and see fabric light is coming through wholes in it
an wind is blowing it. I seems to be covering the exit of the stair well to a lite space beyond

outside you hear Tick Tock is louder.

Was that for me as well Capt? Or did my perception reveal something else?

Jack will try to pinpoint the area where the tic toc is coming from and will head there..

well i would rather know and deal with it accordingly

Annie follows along hopping up the stairs Hop...skip...jump...

at the top she takes a look at the situation.

if whatever is up there is stone, my friend Lala can go see what's on the other side. but she can't tell time

You get to the top steps very old cloth like canvas covers the exit, light is streaming into your darknescv holes in it. If you peak out, you see a big open space, all around buildings some broken some standing, the cloth seems to be some kind of picture, you can see nothing moving the space looks over grown with claiming plants and trees, then some bird like things fly past and up. Looking up you see a broken roof, it's about 300' over head and seems to link to the buildings all around. It's broken and you see openings into a blue sky.
The buildings all around seem to have lots of big alcoves facing you that had glass fronts. Most are broken, but out of the 100s one or two are not. There is plant life and other junk litter the floors of the buildings levels facing you. About 14. You will have to cut the cloth to get out into the open space.

Perception:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Where's the ticking coming from?

*Looks about for big lizard...* (¬_¬)

Above and some way behind where you are.

Tick.......Tock......tick....

Gigar extends a mindblade, shaping it into a long dagger, then proceedes to cut down the cloth and carefully roll it up, placing it into his pack. What? It might be valuable to those squints back at the city?

"wait,"
hall manifests detect psionics
sorry it wasn't registering as updated

whats the range Hall and how long you doing it for.

60ft cone, and 6 seconds to determine if there are any magic auras another 12 if I fine anything

There is something moving slowly 50" above and behind you
It moves 10' to the right the. 10' to the left
