Brutus Vaine |
Brutus draws the club Cel loaned him and takes a swing at the pillar.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Theophilus Flink |
Theophilus backs up into the cover of the nearby alcove, and with a gesture, flings a dagger at his elemental captor.
Or so he thinks
Telekinetic Blast (PBS): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23
Piercing: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5
Igor of Caliphas |
Two headth are better than one! Igor attempts to attach his second head, one that looks like the mirror image of his own. "What a thtroke of luck to be able to maintain bilateral thymmetry!"
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Dazed by the pain of the surgery he looks up only to see:
Thornberry, then takes a step back and instruct Sir Leshington to fire once more.
"I need to get me one of thothe invithible, incorporeal companionth! Wait. How can I thee it? Perhapth I can thmoke it to eathe the pain." He says in what he thinks is stereo.
Scraps the Homunculus |
Scraps, shrugging at the unusual antics of his maker, jumps forward and lobes a bag seemingly full of wobbly jelly at the sand creature.
[dice=tanglefoot bag (ranged touch)]1d20+5[/dice]
Cel Corona |
Aware and cognizant of what's going on, Corona realizes she is face-to-face with the mud man.
<FIRE! FIRE! Burn 'em all!>
"I...I must retreat." Corona tries to run away from the mudman.
Acrobatics, Sickened to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 1 - 2 = 19
She then asks Sarenrae to Bless the party. Everyone feels the morning sun help their aim slightly. "I don't want to risk burning all of you, so I'll try to stay back..."
I'm casting Bless. All of you have a +1 to your attack rolls (and also to saving throws against fear)
GM Blake |
Reflex, Entangled: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 - 2 = 14
Slam vs. Keelee, Entangled: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 - 2 = 20
B: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Corona: 1d100 ⇒ 75
Theophilus: 1d100 ⇒ 82
Thornberry manages to freeze a little more of the sandman before she retreats from the creature. Her path toward the orchids seems to enrage the creature. It lashes out at Keelee with a sand pseudopod and then slides after the gnome.
From Theophilus' perspective, he defends himself from one of the vizer's guards. In reality, he sends a blast of air into Igor. From the Promethean's perspective, one of the vizer's enslaved air elementals is attacking him. A moment later, the dream fades away and Igor finds himself in battle--his homonculus doing the heavy lifting.
Combat! Round 2/3. Bold may act.

Scraps (immune)
Thornberry & Leshy (immune now)
Coronoa (-2 hp, confused) (deal 1d8+Str-2 to yourself)

EDIT: Correction. Igor is not confused (for now).
Cel Corona |
<More fire! ALL THE FIRE!>
"No! Quiet!"
Str: 1d8 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3
Corona wallops herself with her quarterstaff.
<That's not gonna shut me up. Next time, use more fire.>
Brutus Vaine |
Brutus, discouraged at the sandman’s ability to avoid his physical attacks, steps up and tries again with another mighty swing, with a little extra help from Cel’s goddess.
attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
GM Blake |
Iyasset moves into the cave and takes hold of Keelee's sleeping form. The air elemental drags her back into the safety of the sandflow chamber.
You're 10 ft from the map, now.
Theophilus Flink |
Theophilus continues his hallucinatory battle, sending his dagger on a new journey towards Igor.
Telekinetic Blast (PBS): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 = 17
Piercing: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Igor of Caliphas |
Igor is confused. With his second head attached he should have 360 degree vision.... "It mutht have been withhful thinking."
He produces a tincture (enlarge person) and hands it to Scraps, who downs it in one gulp and suddenly grow massive, unsettling all the still hallucinating party members.
GM Blake |
Slam, entangled: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 2 = 15
B: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Corona: 1d100 ⇒ 37
Theophilus: 1d100 ⇒ 78
The sandman moans in frustration as the enlarged homunculus trudges through the rare orchids. It swiftly turns its attention from Thornberry to Scraps and bludgeons the patchwork servant with a heavy lash of animated sand.
Brutus has trouble even touching the (entangled) Morphean elemental. Meanwhile, a confused Theophilus continues to strikes his allies as he defends himself from hallucinatory assailants.
In the hieroglyphics chamber, Iyasset shakes Keelee awake. Where she awakens, she is not confused other than having no memory between the sand beginning to move and waking up on the floor.
Combat! Round 3/4. Bold may act.

Cel Corona |
"I'm not going to burn them and that's final!" Corona berates someone. You're not sure who.
"Oh please, just burn 'em and heal 'em. That's what I would do!" Corona gets giggly and flighty mid sentence. "Marshmallow melt!"
"What? I remember when my previous husband fed me melted marshmallows. They were quite tasty." Corona wipes away tears, suddenly forlorn.
All of you have been blessed, giving a +1 to attack, don't forget!
Theophilus Flink |
Eventually I'll stop guys, I swear
Huddled in the corner, Theophilus continues to send his dagger punching into his jailor/Igor.
Telekinetic Blast (PBS, Bless): 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 26
Piercing: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7
Brutus Vaine |
Realizing he’s not making much progress where he is, and hearing Cel talking about it burning something, Brutus takes one more shot at the sandman before retreating to put himself between Theophilus and Igor.
Attack,Bless,Flankw/Thornberry?: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Brutus Vaine |
Also, acrobatics to avoid attack of opportunity, I could get to my spot with half speed
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Thornberry |
Thornberry is not technically flanking because Chill Touch is not a weaponlike spell
Thornberry is sort of at a loss for what to do, mostly because he cannot remember whether elementals can be fatigued.
He gives it a shot anyway.
Concentration, level 0 spell DC 15: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 4 = 11
He fails to get the spell-like ability off, unable to focus in the wake of the frightening sand monster. He DOES however, pull his dagger to try and help Brutus next time.
He also steps away and has Leshington throw another Seedpod
Thrown Seedpod, 1 Damage DC 11 fort save or be deafened: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Keelee Irodla |
Thornberry should threaten and provide flanking, sense the held touch attack spell counts as a armed attack
Walking up, Keelee looks around as she stands up, ”What happened? How did I get here?” pickup up her club she preprairs to re-enter the battle.
GM Blake |
"Be careful," Iyasset warns. "Some of your friends--yourself included--lost their minds."
Meanwhile, the sandman appears to be too enraged at Scraps and Thornberry to care about Brutus.
Igor of Caliphas |
"If Mathter lootheth her mind Igor will find her another."
Igor attempts to the obviously mad Flink. Alas as the man is standing behind a man and a corner when he raises his hand and makes his ranged attack against Igor, Igor cannot take the opportunity to promptly annestitize him with his morningstar. So instead he takes out his frustration out on Brutus by shoving him and Flink off the bottom of the map.
unimproved bull rush v Brutus into Flink (flank,bless): 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 22
GM Blake |
Igor: Your Bull Rush vs. Brutus is successful. Now make a Bull Rush vs. Flink at -4.
Igor of Caliphas |
unimproved bull rush v Flink (bless): 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 10
"Hit him already!"
GM Blake |
For my sanity--and yours--I'm going to retcon it to initiative order. Igor technically moves before the next round for everyone else.
Slam vs. Thornberry, entangled: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 - 2 = 14
B: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Igor, momentarily clear headed, rushes the addled Theophilus, pushing him outside of the dream aura while Keelee gets to her feet and collects her club. Scraps bites the pillar of living sand to some effect. Thornberry and her leshy companion have less luck striking the sandman, a seed pod pops loudly as it strikes the wall. Brutus makes a sizable dent in the sand, though the constant shifting makes it difficult to tell how much he truly hurt it.
The sandman's rage turns to the gnome. As it slithers after her, those who were still trapped in the dream return to clarity, albeit somewhat confused as to what is happening. His armor holds, but he feels the tremendous force behind the blow.
Entering blue zone: Will save vs. DC 14 unless you are labeled immune.
Combat! Round 4/5. Bold may act.
Active Effects: Bless +1

Brutus Vaine |
”Hey, did anyone ever take a look at this guy?”
Brutus, still stumbling from Igor’s push and unable to get back into the fray, takes a closer look at the skeleton.
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Thornberry |
Thornberry starts to get a little frustrated. Sir Leshington, lend me some of your bark! The gnome shouts loudly.
His fists harden in an oaken brown and he rears back and throws a wild hook punch at the sandman!
WOODEN FIST: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 1 + 2 = 171d3 ⇒ 3
The gnomes fists remain an oaken wood as Sir Leshington barks orders in some sort of plant language, instructing Thornberry how to box!
Scraps the Homunculus |
Where is Sir Leshington? Homunculi with alchemist fire are anxious to know.
Scraps unfolds his complicated mouth parts and snaps them again at the sand creature.
bite v sandy (bless, flanking): 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 8 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Igor of Caliphas |
Igor readies his eight pound cludgel to anesthetize Flink should the man point at anyone except the sand creature this round.
Cel Corona |
Corona finally asserts control and wipes away the tears. "I do miss those marshmallows..."
She steps back.
<NOW can we use the fire?>
"No, but I will heal them." Corona mumbles to no one in particular as she raises her symbol of Sarenrae.
Channel Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 2
I'm 35 feet away from the Sandman, so that should help everyone except it and Thornberry.
GM Blake |
Thornberry punches the sandman with a wooden fist. It lurches to the side and just out of range of Scraps bite.
Healing energy flows from Corona.
The skeleton is humanoid and woven over by orchids.
As a Tiny familiar, Leshington is sharing Thornberry's square unless specified otherwise and icon added.
Channel is a burst, not a spread, so you miss Keelee too due to her being as far down a hard corner as she is.
Combat! Round 4/5. Bold may act.

Keelee Irodla |
Keelee moves back into the crescent shaped tunnel, but dosn’t see an opening to help attack the Sandman. Taking out her wand the swashbuckler tries to heal her wounds, but but she can’t quite activate it correctly ”Healioushious”.
UMD wand DC20: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Igor of Caliphas |
It can be assumed that Leshington is on Thornberrys shoulder unless i go get him his own token.
Sorry, I thought they were Small.
"Mathter! I think it ith pronounthed 'Healiouthhiouth'."
Theophilus Flink |
Without the map I'm not totally certain if there's room, so Theophilus will 5' away from Igor if possible, but either way he'll dagger him again
Telekinetic Blast (PBS, Bless): 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 13
Piercing: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8
Igor of Caliphas |
Are you sure? It is probably apparent to Flink that Igor or whatever other phantasmagoricle horror Flink imagines is attacking him can cover those five feet and still get to him before he can get his attack off.
Theophilus Flink |
I'm confused, I don't have the option of not attacking :/
Igor of Caliphas |
Theophilus (5 ft away from map)
If Flink wants to attack, realize that Igor (a bit tired of being attacked by him) is going to try and bludgeon him until he stops moving. Igor figures he can put Flink together better, stronger, faster than new after the fact anyhow. He has the technology. Just look at Scraps. I know, right! Speaking of Scraps, is Flink using that spare kidney?
As a Tiny familiar, Leshington is sharing Thornberry's square unless specified otherwise and icon added.
And I am pretty sure they are normally Small.
GM Blake |
Igor Bull Rushed you out of the radius of the confusion aura (the blue zone that I put on the map now that you've either moved out or the sandman has moved far enough away chasing Thronberry. So nobody is confused this turn and can take willful actions.
EDIT: I put Theophilus and Iyasset on the adjoining map so that you can see where you are in relation to the rest.
GM Blake |
Leaf Leshies are indeed Small, so Leshington will need his own icon and space after this battle.
GM Blake |
Moving along. Nobody is currently confused nor compelled to attack anyone.
Slam vs. Thornberry: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
B: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
The pillar of sand, which has visibly weakened between the gnome and the homunculus' attacks, strikes out at Thornberry with a clumsy swing. The sticky tar begins to crumble off of the creature. It continues to rant in its elemental language.
Reminder, lest you are metagaming the blue zone: Thornberry and Brutus are immune to the confusion aura for 24 hours. Leshington and Scraps are inherently immune. Everyone else rolls a Will save vs. DC 14 or become confused again upon entering the blue zone.
Combat! Round 5/6. Bold may act.

Thornberry |
Thornberry enjoys this arrangement wherein the tiny no strength Druid is going toe to toe with the enemy and once more swings a wooden fist at the sandman.
WOODEN FISTS w/ Flanking: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 1 + 2 = 211d3 ⇒ 1
Theophilus Flink |
Hurray!!! In that case...
Theophilus's eyes clear for a moment, Hey quit pushin' me! Gods, some people are just so rude, the face isn't enough?
He squeezes past Igor, keeping his distance from the hallucinogen he had unintentionally imbibed, and flings a mace at the sandman. Which with my earlier roll, will probably miss.
Cel Corona |
Corona keeps her symbol of Sarenrae held high, and a warm burst of healing energy streaks out, helping everyone but Thornberry and the Sandman.
Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 6
<Pfft, Sarenrae is overrated.>
Brutus Vaine |
Brutus, seeing that his party members appear back to their senses, takes a run in to smash the sandman.
Assuming I’m able to occupy that space
Attack,Bless: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 1 = 16
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Scraps the Homunculus |
bite v sandy (bless, flanking): 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 26 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Threat! (uness it is an elemental)
confirm?: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 17 additional damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
GM Blake |
Scraps bites the center mass of the elemental. It makes a mark, though it does not seem to hit anything vital. Thornberry strikes a glancing but noticeable blow against the sandman. Brutus rushes back into the fray and finally scores a hit, which sends sand flying across the cave.
The swirling pillar of sand is moving more erratically and there are spaces of missing sand within the mass.
Combat! Round 5/6. Bold may act.

Keelee Irodla |
Thanks to Coronoa’s healing Keelee dosn’t need to use her wand, and the field of battle is too full for Keelee to attack so she holds her ground and puts the wand away, cheering the others on, ”That’s it smack that sandman into ... er .. small bits of sand!”
