Game Master Daniel Stewart

Inamm was startled by the sudden explosion and the concussive power of the blast. Quickly checking that both her companions were fine, she creeps forward to try to get in a better defensive position in case other orcs burst out of the shrine.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

please note that Inamm is going to be looking for a place to try to flank any orcs that might come out of a door, assuming she finds one. If there is no door she will take up position behind a pillar. If she sees her daggar on the way she will scoop it up. I have the same note posted on the map site but I wanted to make sure Dan gets it in a timely fashion.

The noise has indeed roused more creatures from the bowels of the building. The door by Inamm swings inward, and a number of orcs come racing from the depths of the building.

Inamm, you get an AoO against the first orc coming through the door. The rest will simply push him along (dead or alive)

Initiatives from all please...

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Meat shield going last....

initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Inamm presses herself into the wall as she hears the door scratch open. Taking advantage of the confused rush of the orcs, she plunges her readied dagger at the torso of the second orc to burst out of the door.

Attack: melee 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Damage: 1d4 + 1d8 ⇒ (1) + (2) = 3

Inamm curses as her dagger deflects at the last second and she barely grazes her intended victim.

Initiatives are as follows

Inamm
Orcs
Alex
Sasha & Will

The orcs come tumbling out the door, the first one struck by Inamm, but his fellows shove him along before he can even react.

Inamm is up
Map updated

Inamm takes a cleansing breath as she re-positions her daggers. Her intended victim barely pauses in its rush from the door, being pushed forward by his comrades. With a step forward she shadows the orcs to improve her position and her view into the sanctuary, and then thrusts both daggers at the neck of the fourth orc to emerge.

Attack: melee 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Sneak Attack: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Attack: melee 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

A primal curse of rage escapes her throat as her second dagger hits the metal gorget the vile creature had around his throat.

Advantage number 1 of having the DM sitting right in the room with you - I can get good excuses for why the dice roller obviously hates me. The primal curse actually did occur - stupid useless rolls

The big orc is staggered by the knife thrust to its neck, arterial blood spurts from the wound, and the monster begins to turn to deal with the creature who struck it such a devastating blow.

Leader Orc attacks Inamm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
A brutal chop with its sword leaves a bloody swath across Inamm's abdomen.

Orc 1 attacks Alex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
The Orc that was damaged by Inamm's AoO tries to slice Alex, but misses.

Orc 2 attacks Sasha: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
The Orc swings, but only manages to remove a few chainmail links from Sasha's armour.

Orc 3 attacks Sasha: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
The second orc attacking Sasha is thrown off by his partners near miss.

Sasha and Alex are up!

Sasha swords were in her hands and swinging even as the orcs spilled from the doorway. After fending off the two clumsy attacks of the orcs before her, she spun her swords and lunged, one high and one low.

Attack Orc 2 sword 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Attack Orc 2 sword 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

speaking of primal curses...i may need to call will back so he can save my bacon!

The near miss by the first Orc has thrown you slightly out of sync and you miss both your attacks.

Alex is next!!

Being too close to throw one of her bombs, Alex reached for one of her mutagens. She moved back out of range of the orc's sword and quaffed her mutagen. Immediately the sound of cracking bones filled the air as the mutagen began to grow Alex to become more beastial. She gave the orcs a feral smile and swung her quarterstaff around, ready to beat them down. She gave something akin to a growl and took a menacing step forward.

Alex will drink mutagen to increase her strength. I don't think she can also attack this round but if I'm wrong then she'll attack. She just took a five foot step to drink the mutagen to avoid an AoO.

Ok, we are back at the top of the list...Inamm is up

Feeling her rage trying to bubble out of control, Inamm plunges her daggers at the orc again.

Attack: melee 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Attack: melee 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

As she feels the first dagger ricochet off the orc's armour, she minutely adjusts the angle of her second dagger and manages a minor hit on her opponent.

The orcs again attempt to strike at the 3 of you.

Leader Orc attacks Inamm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Obviously distracted by his wounds and loss of blood, the leader misses.

Orc 1 attacks Alex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
The Orc's sword comes very close to hitting Alex, but instead cuts through air.

Orc 2 attacks Sasha: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
This time the Orc connects and leaves a jagged cut down Sasha's right side

Orc 3 attacks Sasha: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
The second orc attacking Sasha misses again

Furious at herself for failing to strike her target, Sasha ignored the pain in her side and continued to strike at the orc before her.

Attack sword 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Attack sword 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Her first swing went wide, but her second sword found its mark in the orc's abdomen. Unfortunately, his armour turned much of the damage aside, but he still grunted with pain and blood started to flow.

Realizing that the fight was going to be more difficult than she'd first thought, she whistled for her dog to come running and attack.

assuming he won't make it here this round.

You get to roll again for a crit (you rolled a 20)

Alex grinned as the orc's eyes widened at her transformation. Letting out a deep, gravely laugh Alex swung at the orc's head with her quarterstaff as if playing baseball.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Alex missed her target as the orc took a step backwards to get away from her. She continued to press her attack as she closed the gap and prepared to take another swing.

swing and a miss :(

what do I roll? Just another hit?

Attack sword 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

what do I roll? Just another hit?

Attack sword 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Sorry, yes you get another attack roll with all the same bonus' as the first. If that one also hit, then you do a critical (which for your sword is x2, I think). You get all the regular pluses for damage that you would have got for each damage roll (so you would roll 2d6+2 for a critical roll)

so my second hit missed, so therefore not a crit?

That is correct. Will can attack the Orc Inamm is fighting on your turn next round.

The Orcs continue to press the attack

Leader Orc attacks Inamm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Orc 1 attacks Alex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Orc 2 attacks Sasha: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Orc 3 attacks Sasha: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Bleeding from yet another wound, Sasha was starting to feel embarrassed by her inability to drop one of the orc foes in front of her. She spun her blades a third time, striking at each orc once. Perhaps if she changed tactics she'd have more luck.

Attack sword 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Attack sword 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

At least she hit once, and no paltry scratch either. As the orc grunted in pain, she heard Wil snarl as he rounded the corner and leapt at Inamm's enemy.

Wil attack : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

bloody useless dog

lol

Hey there DM, can Shari and I get in on some of this game action!!! Sheesh

Desperation fills Inamm as she realizes that she is about to take another hit from her opponent. Using all her mental strength, she tries to center herself for another flurry of strikes.

Attack: melee 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Attack: melee 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Her anticipation of the pain about to be inflicted upon her leaves Inamm's focus poor and both of her strikes hit nothing but metal.

Obviously Inamm's mental strength counts for nothing. Can I change my dice roller? I want to try the purple set. This set doesn't like me...
- memories of live play...

Alex snarled as the orc's sword pierced her flesh but her wound didn't slow her down as she attempted to bash in its skull with her quarterstaff.

hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Sorry the initiative was a little out of whack!! I missed Inamm's action and had the orc's attack too early...so Inamm's attack actually should be just before the last orc turn, then Sasha and Alex right after...I will retcon the action to summarize

Inamm:

Hit and killed orc #3

Sahsa

Hit and killed orc #1

Will
At least she hit once, and no paltry scratch either. As the orc grunted in pain, she heard Wil snarl as he rounded the corner and leapt at Inamm's enemy.
Miss

OK...now that should bring us to the top of Round #4...Inamm, then orcs then the rest of you!!!

Out of her peripheral vision, Inamm sees Sasha's huge hound rushing towards her and her enemy. Bolstered by the prospect of aid, she sinks into her mental pool of calm to regain her focus. Feeling her hair whip around her, she calmly exhales and attacks.

Attack: melee 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Attack: melee 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Both daggers seem to flow with the air of her breath into gaps in her nemesis' armour.

The orc leader lets out a gurgling rasp, then drops to the ground, dead.

The final orc, seeing his two fellows drop, fights even harder, knowing what his fate is to be if he fails.

Orc #2 attacks 1d2 ⇒ 1 - Sasha(1) Alex(2)

Attack-melee: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

His fear makes the swing go wide and he misses his intended target.

Will attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Attack sword 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Attack sword 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Watching as the orcs finally started dying, as they were meant to do, Sasha smiled. However, the confidence came with a price, and she missed her first swing. Will, joining the fray, bit and clawed at the orc but couldn't find purchase. Finally, Sasha's second attack found flesh, and the orc grunted in pain (and finally dropped?).

Indeed it did!! Hazzah!! All dead and now out of combat

Sasha gave the downed orcs a nudge with her boot to check that they were no longer breathing. She then signalled Will to check inside the building with her. As she sidled quietly up to the door, the pitbull slunk on his belly towards the other side of it. He sniffed quietly, checking for more foes inside.

assuming there's no obvious sign of more orcs or other nasties

Sasha peeked quickly in, and seeing nothing, moved cautiously into the building. Will moved in with her, staying on the opposite wall to be in flanking position, should anything to fight pop up.

Perception Sasha: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Perception Will: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Hesseth?

Alex followed Sasha and Will with the intention of entering the building. As she passed Inamm, Alex handed her a vial with a grunt. After Inamm took the vial, the alchemist made a drinking motion and then kept moving.

Alex will give Inamm a healing infusion to drink. I believe I can do this because of Alex being a chirurgeon. We will search the bodies after...

With the death of the last orc, you take a well deserved deep breath and Alex hands the heavily wounded Inamm a healing infusion. Sasha, with her dog, takes a quick look into the building, so recently vacated by the orcs.
The room you have entered is in ruin. Once a beautiful entryway to the shrine, its many paintings and frescoes have been defaced and ruined. An opening on the west wall looks to enter into the main worship area of the shrine, while the opening in the north looks to lead to a hallway.
The great curved staircase use to lead to a second level, but that has since fallen due to a fire, and only rubble now fills the opening.
In the distance, you cannot tell exactly where, you can hear what sounds like chanting.
See map update as to what you see. Roll for healing with your infusion (1d8+2). Are all of you going to go in?

Inamm quaffs the liquid without a thought, her wounds being too severe to even question her new companions intentions.

Healing: (purple dice set)1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Feeling a sudden surge of wellness, she whispers a quiet thanks, and falls in behind Alex and focuses all her attention to their surroundings.

Perception: (pds) 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Gesturing to Will, Sasha moves towards the western opening, hoping to find the chanters in the shrine.

Within this room you find the main chapel. The place has been defiles and ransacked. The many beautiful murals on the walls have been defaces, and the remains of several tapestries litter the floor. A broken pulpit lies on the ground to the north. An opening in the North-West of the room leads to a hallway.
The chanting is slightly louder here, coming from the hallway to the north.

Map is updated

Alex felt angered by the level of destruction seen in the once beautiful chapel. These filthy orcs would pay for their disrespect. With that Alex continued to follow Sasha with her quarterstaff at the ready.

how much time has passed and how much longer will Alex's mutagen last?

About 10 minutes has past so far

Moving quickly but quietly, Sasha and Will continued to follow the sound of the chanting. The carefully moved to the NW opening, peeking inside.

You can see that this long corridor hooks up with the northern opening from the main chamber. A door 10' from where you stand seems to hide the location of the chanting, as its muffled tones can be heard coming from behind. Further down, right near the end of the hallway, you see another opening on the north wall.

Alex continued to follow Sasha as she moved forward. Part of Alex wanted to just rush forward and confront the source of the chanting but took her cue from Sasha and continued to creep forward.

"Pssst, Inamm! Get a move on!" Sasha hissed at the strange woman, who had sunk into some sort of reverie. She then turned her attention to the door infront of her. Moving quietly, she crept forward until she was in front of it. Hoping for a keyhole to peek through, she quickly scanned the door.

Any holes, cracks, etc? If not, she'll put her ear to it and listen.

The door looks like it was kicked in then hastily re-hung, so there is space all around.

Within it looks like a kitchen. You hear a growling coming from the room and can just catch sight of what looks like either 2 huge rats with long legs, or some sort of rat/dog hybrid.

Gesturing to the other women, Sasha whispered, "Two animals. Gonna flush them out here. Get ready." When she saw that they understood, Sasha cracked the door open and signalled to Will.

The dog understood. He poked his head in the door, growled low, and backed away. Hopefully the rat/dog things would follow into the ambush. Sasha raised her swords and waited.

Alex nodded sharply at Sasha before readying her quarterstaff to bludgeon whatever came out. She had briefly considered one of her bombs before deciding otherwise - currently they still had surprise on their side as far as the chanters were concerned. The mutagen coursing through her body granting her extra strength hadn't dulled her wits enough so that she wasn't aware of their advantage.

As she hears Sasha's reprimand, blood courses directly into her cheeks. Get a grip Inamm, you cannot freeze up at a simple wounding. Your still sucking wind so show it some respect and release it before it spoils in your worthless hide.

Inamm quickly follows her comrades into the shrine, trying to focus all her senses on surveying the area.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Hearing Sasha's warning, she readies herself for the charge.
