[PFS] 7-25 Orders from the Gate by GM Upaynao's (Inactive)

Game Master Upaynao

Weird, I thought I posted this morning. Nevermind

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Kintampo casts detect magic and tries to determine what the trap is about (assuming it is magical in nature).

He then gets his grappling hook and attaches it to his rope. "Shall I try to drag the corpse away, so we can investigate the ground around it?"

Miklos shrugs at Kintampo's suggestion.

"Triggering it from a safe distance is probably for the best."

Insidion doesn't know how to disarm the trap, but does have one idea.

"I could cover the area in acid," he suggests.

I have a breath weapon I can use twice. How big is the area in question? Breath Weapon (2/day; 30-ft. cone, DC 17, 7d6 acid)

Kintampo is certain, based on the evocation aura that suffuses the body that they are dealing with Explosive Runes.

The trap is body-sized in shape. To put it simply: this corpse has been booby trapped. I'll say that if you deal about 40 points damage to the body, it'll set off the trap. Provided you are far enough away, you will be fine. That being said that will also destroy the as-of-yet untouched mask on this orc's head, which was perhaps one of the reasons Miklos almost got toasted. Stupid lucky 20's. ;)

Also, thank you for giving me the opportunity to guestimate the hardness and hp per inch of flesh. The things I do in PFS.

"Explosive runes? Bah! Only dangerous if read. This is hardly a challenge...."

Lucija intones words of power, and a triangular rift in the planes emerges above her, spitting out a hideous rat-like thing.

I cast summon monster I to call an Augmented fiendish dire rat.

She commands it to fetch her the magical mask off the corpse, then drag the corpse away afterwards.

Once the rat start dragging the body, it'll probably detonate. I assume you have no qualms about that?

Not this Chaotic Neutral Lamashtan egomaniac conjurer. Besides, it's a fiend.

What turns out to be a mask is pulled off by the creature Lucija summons. The rat then begins trying to drag the body away, which it does for a moment, before accidentally flipping the body up.

Boom!: 6d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 3, 1, 5, 6) = 24

The resulting explosion is enough to disintegrate both it and most of the orc's chest.

The mask is made of interwoven wicker strands and resin, and has the appearance of a mutated, spore-infested insect.

Miklos, relieved that the body exploded away from the group, ponders back on the worms pointed out by Eadie. Those worms have been warped by the abyss; sporting pincers and other aberrant mutations, it is clear that the area was once covered in the unnatural energies of the Abyss.

The Hellknights, lead by Signifier Karva return at this point. "Signifier Sambos, Gobancida, go inform Beta that the plateau is clear and to report. Pathfinder Miklos? What was the cause of the explosion we saw? I assume it has something to do with the fact that this orc seems to be missing most of his sternum."

(In a snooty French accent)***Two hours and a few minutes later***(In a snooty French accent)

The camp is almost set, the corpses and other "aberrations" are burning and Signifier Karva is about to assign guard duty to her Hellknights when guttural shouts and screams of fear and pain co-mingled echo up from the slopes below. Seconds later, six bedraggled orcs run up the slope to the plateau.
Hot on their heels is another band of orcs, each marked with runes carved into their flesh. With terror in their eyes, the first six orcs cry out in Common. "Help! Save us! We be good!" they beg abjectly, looking over their shoulders with unabashed fear. Behind them, the rune-covered orcs laugh cruelly and fill the air with harsh howls and whoops of victory. in the rear of this group, an orc woman plants a banner depicting a severed hand into the ground smiling cruelly as the remaining orcs rush past her, blood on their minds. At the same time, another, larger group of orcs emerges from behind, adding their screams to the terrible chorus.
Signifer Karva snarls and adjusts her face mask before calling out: "Hellknights! Form ranks to the rear! Pathfinders, kill those orcs attacking from the front!"

Round 1

Purple Elder Orc
Pale Blue Orc
Eadie
Roland
Running Orcs
Miklos
Insidion
Kintampo
Indigo Orc
Orc Woman
Pink Orc
Orange Orc
Naghamadi
White Orc
Cyan Orc
Blue Orc
Grey Orc
Lucija
Red Orc

One of the orcs at the head of the pack and one of the older orcs spring forwards, with the sprier one catching up to the last orc. Meanwhile, on the Hellknight front things do not seem to be going nearly as well as in the fight with the cythnigoths. It is clear they will need your assistance sooner rather than later, and possibly in full force, although perhaps an arrow or spell in the direction of their opponents might give them some momentary respite.

(In a snooty French accent)***Two hours and a few minutes earlier***(In a snooty French accent)

Lucija eagerly takes the mask upon its delivery.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35

She recognizes it immediately, like rediscovering a favorite childhood toy.

"A-ha! A Visage of the Broodlord - a superlative work, even! Fine demonic artisanship - or at least earnest imitation thereof - grants the wearer both protection from, and the power of (within limits), that which crawls, creeps, stings, and swarms."

/flashback

Who wants it? I'll take it if no one else will.

"I am not that interested in changing shape into an insect. Thank you, but no thanks!"

As the Hellknights return:
"Not to worry, Signifier Karva. Whatever cultists who preformed the ritual here left us a nasty surprise, but that has been dealt with."

I'll pass on the mask as well.

Hearing the orcish cries of terror, Miklos looks down from the ledge, sword in hand.

"You have earned the *Blech* creepy-crawly mask, Lucija."

⚔⚈♐⚆

“I SAY LEAVE THE UNARMED ORCS, AND KILL THE REST!”

“Roland, if you stay on the high ground you should be able to direct arrow fire to support both lines of defense.”

Eadie rushes 30’ past the oncoming unarmed orcs (with flat feet) and strikes with her falchion at the elder orc from atop the bend in the ridge.

falchion + PA + FF + higher ground on deep purple orc: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 17 + 1 = 36 crit threat
magic adamantine slashing damage: 2d4 + 21 ⇒ (2, 4) + 21 = 27

confirm crit on deep purple orc: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 17 + 1 = 27
magic adamantine slashing damage: 2d4 + 21 ⇒ (2, 1) + 21 = 24

Roland smiles as he sees Eadie rush into combat.

Save some for zhe rest of us, Eadie!

He will unleash a flight of arrows at the teal bandana orc in the lead.

Quickdraw, Rapid shot, improved precise=no cover, switch target if one drops
Roland-1 +2 Ad darkwood, PB comp Rapid: 1d20 + 16 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 16 - 2 + 1 = 24

for dmg,PB: 1d8 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 = 14

Insidion snarls at the half-orcs and moves to intercept the crazed ones. The dragon disciple lowers his head, and a spray of acid flashes from his open maw, enveloping four of the orcs.

30-ft. cone, DC 17, 7d6 acid

breath weapon: 7d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 6, 1, 5, 6, 4) = 30

Roand fires his first twinned shot at the teal-bandanna orc, lifting the orc off his feet and lading him on his back, dead. Nodding with satisfaction, he redirects his attacks at the opponent Eadie is fighting. Her blade carved a nasty wound through his chest, so much so that Eadie is pretty sure she has sliced his heart in half. However he just grins, untroubled by his wound.

The cowering orcs rush past Eadie and Insidion. Eadie, if you want to take an AoO on these orcs, feel free.

Finally, Insidion steps up, and gathering the strength of his draconic heritage breathes a gout of acid that sears the orcs to the bone!

Once the gout dissipates, only the one with red cloth tied to it's biceps still stands, a feverish look in his eyes.

Round 1

Purple Elder Orc 81 dmg
Eadie
Roland
Running Orcs
Miklos
Insidion
Kintampo
Indigo Orc
Orc Woman
Pink Orc
Naghamadi
White Orc
Blue Orc
Grey Orc
Lucija
Red Orc 17 dmg

Save some for zhe rest of us, Eadie!

“There’s plenty to go around, Roland!”

With Insidion advancing to obliterate the Rune-orcs and Roland on Overwatch, Eadie is happy to let the frightened orcs run past her unmolested.

The Elder Orc still on its feet with an enchanted falchion imbedded in its chest, confuses more than alarms her. “Miklos, Kintampo, Lucija … D’you know what’s up with these Rune-orcs?”

“Is some foul magic keeping them up with a broken heart? If they bleed I’m thinking they can die though.”

Kintampo quickly uses his wand of shield before he drops it on the ground. He looks to see where his assistance is most needed and decides to ignore orders and assist the hellknights

"My companions have everything well in hand there, I will assist you."

Swift: springloaded wrist sheath, standard: activate, move to move

Knowledge (???): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

"Stick 'em with the pointy end, that seems to work!"

Miklos jumps down from his vantage point and moves next to Eadies new friend.

Double move. If necessary for the jump:
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26

Kintampo, if you are aiding the Hellknights, you are actually on the other side of the map. I moved you there for expediency, let me know if it does not suit you. It would also be a double move. Per your description, I moved you only 30 feet.

The orc with the indigo markings rounds up on Miklos, but is unable to do anything before the dashing swordsman can respond.

The orc woman draws her bow as she steps up, and fires an arrow at Eadie!

Shortbow vs Eadie: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 1 + 2 = 31
Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 + 2 + (2) = 13

A flaming arrow lodges itself in her breast!

Round 1

Purple Elder Orc 81 dmg
Eadie 13 dmg
Roland
Running Orcs
Miklos
Insidion
Kintampo
Indigo Orc
Orc Woman
Pink Orc
Naghamadi
White Orc
Blue Orc
Grey Orc
Lucija
Red Orc 17 dmg

"Stick 'em with the pointy end!"

“Yeah. The Master of Swords used to tell me the same thing when I was an Initiate, Miklos.”

After being shot, Eadie *glowers* under her helm at the orc woman. “I’m gonna sort you out as a matter of principle!”

“MAN, I HATE ARCHERS! YOU’RE ALL SCUMBAGS!”

She then jerks her head back at the rise behind her. “Uhh … No offense, Roland.”

Naghamadi takes advantage of the silly yelling Human's distraction to speed toward the elder orc's jugular - just as it appears he is out of reach, Naghamadi's maw opens wider still, and a second head streaks out at the Orc!

bite vs Purple Elder Orc: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Critical threat!: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Critical damage?: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 +8 = 11

Note that we are 10 feet up in the air.

Thanks GM!

Some of the orcs move past the front-line engagement between Miklos, Eadie and their brethren, intent on getting at the acid-breathing fiend.

One though, clad in grey, goes for Miklos.

Falchion vs Miklos: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 = 8

His attack goes wide. Meanwhile, the elder orc endures another vicious blow, this time by the protean. A rasping gurgle can be heard as he chuckles.

Round 1

Purple Elder Orc 100 dmg
Eadie 13 dmg
Roland
Running Orcs
Miklos
Insidion
Kintampo
Indigo Orc
Orc Woman
Pink Orc
Naghamadi
White Orc
Blue Orc
Grey Orc
Lucija
Red Orc 17 dmg

Roland calls down to Eadie

No offense taken, Eadie. I am just a tracker with a bow, not an archer. Nobody can trust zhem.

Lucija booms words of power, and a torrent of small, brightly-colored frogs suddenly falls from the sky!

I cast rain of frogs, and am using my Genie-Caller trait to extend the duration by 2! The DC to resist their poison is 15, or 16 if you would consider Spell Focus (Conjuration) to apply.

swarm damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12
Constitution damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Fort Save, Grey: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Fort Save, Indigo: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

The frogs climb and clobber over the two orcs in their path, but only the weakest of the two succumbs to their poison.

The other elder orc steps forward and barks at the orc with the red bandanna, who seemed ready to go.

Red delays

The elder orc impaled on Eadie grabs ahold of his hide armor, which he tears apart, revealing row upon row of hideously carved runes, which begin to glow a worrisome shade of orange.

"I AM KUZLAK, AND THESE ARE MY SINS! WITNESS ME!!! He begins to lists his many sins amidst roars of enthusiasm from the other orcs. Finally, the rune's energy breaks free, pulping the orc's body to nothingness, and taking it's toll on everyone around it.

The only characters that can make a saving throw are the indigo orc, Naghamadi and Lucija as they are is 10 feet away from the center. As an aside, Lucija if you could include the reach of Naghamadi in the attack block, that would help me in the future. I'm assuming he has ten-foot reach and not 15 foot reach. Which gives you both a save for half.

Miklos, Eadie, the swarm and Grey Orc do not get a save and take full damage

Force Damage from Elder Orc (Reflex DC 14 for half): 6d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 5, 5, 3) = 22

33 damage to the swarm. I believe that disperses it.

Seeing his elder die gloriously, the red-clad orc moves forwards towards Miklos and Eadie, screaming at the top of his lungs "WITNESS!!!" The scar tissue you had barely noticed from a distance lightens up. He begins shouting his sins for all to hear, and upon arriving in front of Eadie and Miklos, detonates!

Force Damage from Red Orc (Reflex DC 14 for half): 6d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 5, 2, 1, 2) = 16

Same as the first, Miklos and Eadie you do not get a save.

Indigo orc Reflex save #1: 1d20 ⇒ 8
Indigo orc Reflex save #2: 1d20 ⇒ 10

As witnesses go, Kintampo is witnessing a brutal struggle between the Hellknights and the orcs. If the situation was dire before, it is grave now, with Hellknights Manius Tetrakis and Bee Stromsel about to collapse under the numbers of the orcs. Last-ditch healing spells are being cast but without a helping hand from Kintampo and perhaps a couple of the others or without being able to fully redirect their attention to the foes the Hellknights are facing, the contingent from the Order of the Gate will not get out of this without losses.

Round 2

Eadie 51 dmg
Roland
Running Orcs
Miklos 38 dmg
Insidion
Kintampo
Orc Woman
Pink Orc
Naghamadi
White Orc
Blue Orc
Lucija
Gold Elder Orc

Roland watches the carnage of the rune orcs explosion

"What madness is zhis?."

He takes aim at the other golden elder figuring more trickery

He calls down below...

"Eadie and Lucija, are you able to continue? ."

Roland will unleash a flight of arrows at the gold elder orc in the back
Quickdraw, Rapid shot, improved precise=no cover, switch target if one drops
Assuming not an outsider, otherwise add +4/+4 to each shot
Roland-1 +2 Ad darkwood, PB comp Rapid: 1d20 + 16 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 16 - 2 + 1 = 33
for dmg,PB: 1d8 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9
manyshot: 1d8 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13
Roland-2 +2 Ad darkwood, PB comp Rapid: 1d20 + 16 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 16 - 2 + 1 = 28
for dmg,PB: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Roland-3 +2 Ad darkwood, PB comp Rapid: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 2 + 1 = 13
for dmg,PB: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Rattled by the blasts, Miklos falls back to old habits. He steps north, does a little feint and slashes the orc.

Bluff: 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 20 + 1 = 23
The DC is 10 + the orc's base attack bonus + the orcs's Wisdom modifier. If the orc is trained in Sense Motive, the DC is instead equal to 10 + the orc's Sense Motive bonus, if higher.

Attack, combat expertise: 1d20 + 15 - 3 ⇒ (4) + 15 - 3 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 + Sneak attack: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8
If it takes sneak attack damage, it has a –2 penalty on attack rolls against Miklos for 1d4 ⇒ 3 rounds.

Eadie is certainly knocked about by the force-blast, but remains calm.

“I’d prefer the Elder Golden-Brown not blow me up again, Roland. I think it’s pointless shooting him. He’s like an indestructible suicide trigger, which sets off all the other orc-bombs.”

“I think the best thing to do would be HOLD the Elder Gold Orc IN PLACE with black tentacles or something, retreat to help the Hellknights and have you pick off the minor orcs and then their bow-woman with your TRULY WONDERFUL archery, Roland.”

“Insidion, haste would be lovely right about now.”

Eadie delays until after Insidion

Does Roland wish to alter his targets?

Sure - will redirect artillery based on coordinates called in by Eadie.

"You are closer to zhe hostiles, so whatever you say!."

Eadie blows a kiss up to the ranger. "I'd recommend Blue 'til he drops, then White, then Pink, then Eye-patch, Roland."

For what it's worth, my Augment Summoning feat should have increased the swarm's Constitution, and thereby the DC of its venom, to 15, even if you wouldn't give it the benefit of Spell Focus (Conjuration). It also gives them a total of 49 hit points, so they would actually have survived the blast, too!

Reflex vs elder: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Naghamadi's Reflex vs elder: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Reflex vs red: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Naghamadi's Reflex vs red: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Naghamadi literally spins in the air, emerging unscathed from the explosions! His rider is not nearly so lucky, though.

The subsequent explosion would have ended the swarm IMO. And the explosion ended grey's life in the end. So while perhaps the how was off, the end result is exactly the same. Going to give Insidion and Kintampo until morning EST before proceeding onwards.

Insidion follows Eadie's advice and casts haste on the group.

"Why not?" he says. "It will make SLAUGHTER MORE BRUTAL!" another voice finishes.

Round #2: haste

“Thanks, Insidion!”

True to her word, Eadie double-times around the fleeing orcs, back up the slope to aid the besieged Hellknights.

hasted 120’ double move.

@GM Upaynao, I’m thinking Eadie would have total cover from the orc archer, because of her distance back from the crest of the upper slope.

GM, I only see hellknights at the top of the map, not their targets. Therefore I am taking some liberties here, assuming you will correct anything that is wrong. Please move me to the right place on the map.

Kintampo casts a shocking grasp spell and moves to the biggest threat that is within 30 feet. While he moves one end of the quarterstaff starts to crackle with flames. Within the flames tiny bolts of lightning are crackling. Once he is next to the enemy he brings his staff down!

Power Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18 +2 if he is wearing metal armor or has a metal weapon
Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Shocking damage: 8d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 3, 6, 1, 5, 3) = 28

Swift to spend arcane point for shocking and flaming.
Standard to cast intensified shocking grasp
Move to move
Free action to try to deliver shocking grasp, using spellstrike

[dice=Power Attack]1d20+12 +2 if he is wearing metal armor or has a metal weapon

+3, actually.

Eadie rushes towards the beleaguered Hellknights just in time to see Kintampo parry a blow meant for Hellknight Manius and then strike the beast-man's exposed larynx. The smell of charred flesh quickly spreads as this orc, similar in statue to the elders on the other side, crumbles to the ground, twitching. Will Eadie make it in time to save Hellknight Bee, who has managed to get herself cut off by a gaggle of the younger orcs and seems to be on her last legs?

I would agree, I wasn't planning on taking shots at people across the map anyway.

A nod from Miklos is all it takes for Roland to instead fire his first two shots at one orc and his last two at the other, moving from one to the other only when he sees them fall to the ground.

Miklos's attack completely blindsides the orc warrior he faces, and it is no surprise for anyone but the orc when the Brevish swordsman stabs him in the armpit, his blade coming out through the greenskin's neck.

The orc woman spits, and takes aim at the spellcaster.

Bow vs Lucija: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Bow vs Lucija: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Both arrows find their mark, and the orc-woman grins.

Round 2

Eadie 51 dmg
Roland
Running Orcs
Miklos 38 dmg
Insidion
Kintampo
Orc Woman
Naghamadi
Lucija 53 dmg
Gold Elder Orc

That's what I get for forgetting to cast shield. Shitshitshit.

"WORM!" Screams Lucija. Never one to take things lying down, she tosses a cloud of searing sparkles in the orcs' direction.

I cast glitterdust (Will DC 20), enveloping both remaining orcs.

Naghamadi, ever the more pragmatic one, jets them away like a squid.

Elder Orc Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
One-eyed Orc Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

The orc-woman's chuckle is cut short by the motes of gltterdust that get in her eye. From the howls of rage coming from the remaining elder, she is not the only one to have succumbed to it's power.

Elder Orc. Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 - 2 = 18

With a snarl, the Elder moves up to Miklos, and pulling his armor aside roars: "I AM TOGROTH! HE-WHO-PEELS-FLESH, OUR MASTER FROM BEYOND! WITNESS ME!!!"

Explosive Runes blast: 6d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 1, 6, 3, 6) = 27

The blast shreds his armor and most of his torso, but the orc doe snot seem to care.

End-of-turn Will vs Glitterdust: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

In fact, given his newfound look of absolute delight, he does not care very much at all.
Meanwhile, on the Hellknight front, while Hellknight Manius seems to have escaped death and has had some of his wounds patched up, Hellknight Bee remains trapped. Pinned down by the orcs, one of the smaller ones readies his falchion for a Coup-de-Grace. "Suck my d*&k greeny" she taunts in the face of death.

Round 3

Eadie 51 dmg
Roland
Running Orcs Praying to gods they never knew existed.
Miklos 65 dmg
Insidion
Kintampo
Orc Woman Blind
Naghamadi
Lucija 53 dmg
Gold Elder Orc 27 dmg

Roland faces the decision as to who needs immediate aid, Miklos, Bee or other.

"Desna guide my arrows to save zhose most in need."

"Miklos, call if you need aid, else I help Hellknight Bee."

Roland will delay until others on the team go before firingfligh at the orcs

[Ooc] Sad :(.

Round #3: AC 24, haste

“DON’T START SUCKING YEEEEET!!!!”

Eadie charges towards the helpless Hellknight, trying to distract the orc runt from delivering his Coup-de-Grace. 50’ hasted charge

Abstracted falchion + PA + FF + charge + haste: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 17 + 2 + 1 = 23
Abstracted damage: 2d4 + 21 ⇒ (4, 2) + 21 = 27

She then looks down at Bee. “How come you named your pipe, ‘Dick?’”

This isn't good...

Miklos calls out to Roland, blood running from his ears, nose and mouth.

*Cough*

"Any help would be greatly appreciated!"

He steps the the elder's side and slashes him thrice.

Attack, haste, combat expertise: 1d20 + 15 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 1 - 3 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Attack, haste, combat expertise: 1d20 + 15 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (11) + 15 + 1 - 3 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Attack, haste, combat expertise: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 1 - 3 = 27
Crit?: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 1 - 3 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

put Roland's shots on Miklos target .

"Fall back if you can, Miklos! ."

Trip, spell combat: 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 17 - 2 = 18

Kintampo attempts to trip the nearest standing orc and then casts arcane mark provoking

Next thing is to try to deliver it
Attack: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 12 - 2 = 23

Next thing is to try to deliver it

Being the closest to Miklos, Insidion smiles, his mouth full of razor-sharp teeth.

"I'll deal with this fiend!" the dragon disciple says.

Suddenly, a second Insidion appears next to him.

"I'm well-equipped to deal with fiends!" the copy says, its head spinning around backward.

"Let me help!" another image says.

"Can you handle all of us?!" a fourth adds.

"SLAUGHTER!" spits the last.

Insidion, along with his images, lunges toward the crazed orc, murder in his eyes.

mirror image: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The light in the elder's eyes dim, under the combined onslaught of Miklos's desperate swordsmanship and Roland's barrage of arrows. As he dies, the blind orc woman laughs and begins to cast a spell.

Orc woman's acrobtics check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Nimble enough to avoid the rocks and gravel that mar the way, she moves away from the rest of the group.

End-of-Turn Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Unfortunately, her eyesight does not yet return.

Kintampo and Eadie's actions might have been the only things separating the Hellknights from losses in their numbers. As one of the younger orcs began to howl "WITNESS!!" a well placed stick to the creature's groin bends it down in two before the follow-up breaks it's neck. Eadie's blow severs the head of the wannabe executioner. "My pipe? Honey, please tell me you're joking" laments Bee as she sweeps her mace upward into a greenskin's chest, caving in much of the ribcage.

Round #4: AC 26, haste

Eadie glances over to where Kintampo is causing carnage amongst the orcs.

“If I never hear the word ‘WITNESS’ again, it will be too soon.”

“Honey, please tell me you're joking.”

The Hellknight’s tone reminds Eadie of a similar experience in Kaer Maga.

“You know, a lady named Miss Feathers once said exactly the same thing.”
