[PFS] GM Lithrac's The Sealed Gate (#5-20) (Inactive)

Game Master Cyril Corbaz

Where do you aim your holy smite, Cairo? I've created the 20-ft radius burst template on the map, please put it where you aim your spell.

For some reason I thought the wolves were the Dekrani. I guess I just hit the swarms then which is fine. I r blind.

Darius, in case you didn't see it in the previous message, I'd like a SR check for your fireball, please. Moreover, I almost forgot: since you were hit by the swarm, you can attempt a Ref save for your weapon to avoid becoming broken. I don't think Volfie or Grimtooth have any equipment on them, so they don't need to make that save unless they have something.

Alright, I'll use your SR roll for the Derakni on the second swarm, which means both swarms' SR is bypassed.
Will (V1, north): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Will (V2, north): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

A holy column of positive energy is brought down from the skies, Sarenrae's might made manifest. One of the swarm is able to partly resist Cairo's divine smite, yet the other vescavor swarm isn't as fortunate, and is hit fully. The consequences are dramatic: most of the swarm is gone, yet it has not scattered.

In fact Arntoth, Darius, Ace and Atum all are neutral, which means they all need to save (Will DC 17, 15 damage if failed, 7 if succeeded).

Both Deraknis take flight, and after a dozen feet, disappear, only to reappear behind the fountain! Their wings emit an exteremely painful droning sound to your ears, yet it proves mesmerizing in a way. You feel your mind slowly ebbing away, sinking into insanity.

Alright, this is when it gets tough: in addition to the saves imposed by the vescavor swarms (distraction / item damage for those inside & gibbering aura for everyone), everyone has to make two other Will saves (DC 20 this time) to avoid becoming confused for 1d4 rounds, see below.

Please roll the saves in this order:
1) Distraction - (Fort DC 15, only if you're inside a swarm: Darius, Volfie, Grimtooth)
2) Ravenous - weapon (or other equipment) becomes broken (Ref DC 15, only if you're inside a swarm and have equipment: Darius)
3) Gibber - confused 1 round (Will DC 15 negates, everyone)
4) Drone D1 - confused 1d4 ⇒ 2 rounds (Will DC 20 negates, everyone)
5) Drone D2 - confused 1d4 ⇒ 4 rounds (Will DC 20 negates, everyone)

Initiative - round 2
Deraknis
>>> Group 1 (Osric, Ace, Arntoth, Darius)
Vescavor swarms
Group 2 (Cairo, Atum)

Confused

A confused creature is mentally befuddled and cannot act normally. A confused creature cannot tell the difference between ally and foe, treating all creatures as enemies. Allies wishing to cast a beneficial spell that requires a touch on a confused creature must succeed on a melee touch attack. If a confused creature is attacked, it attacks the creature that last attacked it until that creature is dead or out of sight.

Roll on the following table at the beginning of each confused subject's turn each round to see what the subject does in that round.
d% Behavior
01–25 Act normally.
26–50 Do nothing but babble incoherently.
51–75 Deal 1d8 points of damage + Str modifier to self with item in hand.
76–100 Attack nearest creature (for this purpose, a familiar counts as part of the subject's self).

Gibber: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

Drone 1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

Drone 2: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

Cairo avoids all attempts to insanify him.

Will against smite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Will against gibber: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 +3 against mind-affecting
Will against drone 1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 +3 against mind-affecting
Will against drone 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 +3 against mind-affecting

Atum keeps his wits about him and turns about, taking a step towards the nearest derakni as his flesh begins to solidify into solid stone and his form grows to twice its former size.

5' step back, swift action to active my Ka Stone (righteous might and some other bonuses), full attack! +3 weapons count as cold iron and silver, although I'm sure you knew that already. I don't think we learned about DR but I have a suspicion I'll need good-aligned as well.

+3 adamantine bec de corbin, power attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27
damage: 2d8 + 23 ⇒ (8, 1) + 23 = 32
+3 adamantine bec de corbin, power attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
damage: 2d8 + 23 ⇒ (6, 4) + 23 = 33

For purposes of AoO Atum's bec de corbin now has 15' reach and he has Improved Unarmed Strike to kick at people within that space as well.

Are the Drones and Gibbers Charms or Compulsions?

Will Save against Gibber: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Will Save against Drone 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Will Save against Drone 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Will Save against Smite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

G~+&*@n! That hurt! Ace recoils at the holy damage searing through him.

Ace sees his friends looking funny because of the sound, so casts a Hideous Laughter on the southern Vescavor Swarm and combines it with a Countersong. Harmonic Spell: When casting a spell, you can change performances as a swift action.

He then circles around the Vescavor Swarm away from the giant locust thing.

Hideous Laughter - DC 21 - Mind-affecting Compulsion

Countersong: Any creature within 30 feet of the bard (including the bard himself) that is affected by a sonic or language-dependent magical attack may use the bard's Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform check result proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the countersong is already under the effect of a non-instantaneous sonic or language-dependent magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it hears the countersong, but it must use the bard's Perform skill check result for the save.

Countersong Perform(String): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28

Everyone auto-saves against the Gibbers and Drones.

Everyone only has a +2 to hit, damage, fear saves and charm saves.

Sorry for the delay.. On weekends i spend alot of time with the fam so..

SR for Fireball: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

With Ace jamming out a contersong i just need distraction and ravenous saves right?

Dis fort: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35
Weapon reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
Holy Smite will: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22 7 dam from the smite.. 4 from the swarm..

I think thats all right?

Darius moves out of the swarm and begins chanting again.. A tattoo of flame along his arm jumps to life.. It moves and explodes in another fireball.. Man yalls movement is killing me.. I really need to get both swarms in this but people are gonna catch it again.. Being my last AoE im afraid i have no choice.. Sorry Ace and pet companions..

Ive laid the fireball template on the map..

SR burning an essence to make sure: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17 good thing..

Fireball DC 18: 10d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 1, 1, 6, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2) = 28

Arnthoth Will vs Smite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Volfie Fort vs Distraction: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Volfie Will vs Gibber: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Volfie Will vs Smite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Volfie darts out of the swarm and circles back to attack the northern demon.

Attack, Good Hope: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 2 = 28
Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 6) + 9 = 18
Trip: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 12 + 2 = 33

Arnthoth then moves back, flying into a rage and swings his hammer at the north demon.

Raging Vital Heroic Power Attack, Good Hope: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 14 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 2 = 30
Damage: 2d12 + 11 + 2 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (4, 8) + 11 + 2 + 9 + 2 = 36

Volfie (50' speed) should be able to move to be directly north of the demon, while Arnthoth will be north of Darius five feet away from him.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Ace takes the full brunt of the Fireball to the face.

WHAT THE F+~#! F~!# THIS NOISE! DEAL WITH THIS S%%@ ON YOUR OWN! Ace stops playing and gets ready to cast a spell while mumbling to himself. Trying to save your f$&@ing lives and you've nearly killed me yourselves...

In my haste to hit something earlier I forgot to add Ace's bonuses. +4 on those attacks and damage.

So Osric is not in either swarm ATM. Does he need to save or not, due to Ace's song, which was up during his turn?

Fort Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
Ref Save, as he wears mwk chain shirt barding: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Sry guy.. I figured you would survive even on a fail.. We will not if we cant kill these dam swarms..

Darius frowns.. "I"m truely sorry about that Ace.. Which means alot since im rarely sorry for anything i do.."

Too true. We have the chops to bring down the demons without much problem, really. But swarms are a HUGE pain. Hopefully Darius got at least one of them, since the southern one failed its save against Holy Smite...

Ace's Countersong lasts until his next turn as he can't cancel it until it becomes his turn (Free Action)

Additionally, I had no idea what Holy Smite does, so can we consider my Hideous Laughter on the northern swarm?

Ace: Gibber is a mind-affecting, compulsion, insanity effect, whereas Drone is a sonic, mind-affecting effect. And sure, you can aim your spell at the northern swarm.

Secondly, Osric acted before you (better init), so he and Grimtooth need to save vs. Drone and all, will take their turn, then Ace can act, giving countersong to everyone. I'll wait for Osric and Grimtooth's saves before resolving everything else.

Will v Gibber: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Will v Drone 1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Will v Drone 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Confused for 6 rounds? Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 33

Osric begins mumbling to himself.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Will v_Gibber: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Will v Drone 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Will v Drone 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Confused 3 rounds
Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 31

Grimtooth whimpers softly.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Osric and his pet wolf do nothing but struggle internally to regain control of their senses, of themselves.

Ace tells a joke, throwing a tiny fruit tart to the northern vescavor swarm, then bellows a masterful song to shake off the effects of that horrid drone.
Will save: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 4 = 19
The swarms bursts out in a demonic laughter sending shivers down your spine, yet the vescavor swarm doesn't react to its surroundings, and won't move anytime soon.

Arntoth and Volfie attack the norther Derakni, and while the barbarian smashes the giant locust with all his might, the wolf isn't able to pierce the tough chitinous armor of its quarry.

SR vs southern swarm: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 Remember that shooting at several targets implies several SR checks.
Darius's fireball hits both swarms, but also some of the magus's allies.
Ref (north): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Ref (south): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
While the northern swarm - still laughing manically - remains together, the southern swarm is hit fully by the fireball. The last remains of it scatter quickly.

Atum steps up and hits the derakni with all his might, yet it might not have been enough were it not for Ace's songs. The living monolith pierces the though hide twice.

Initiative - round 2
Deraknis
Group 1 (Osric, Ace, Arntoth, Darius)
Vescavor swarms
>>> Group 2 (Cairo, Atum)

Cairo moves away from the incoming giant bugs and will channel!

Excluding Swarm: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 1, 1) = 13

Ooh... Epic

The northern derakni attacks Arntoth fiercely with his fangs, claws and sting.
Bite, PA: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 311d4 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19 Fort DC 23 vs Poison, take 1d4 ⇒ 1 Con damage if it fails.
Claw, PA: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 241d4 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20
Claw, PA: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 291d4 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17
Sting, PA: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 281d8 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22 Fort DC 23 vs Poison, take 1d4 ⇒ 1 Con damage if it fails.
Then it calls a bat swarm from the Abyss (swift action, doesn't provoke) before taking a step back.
The swarm hassles Cairo and Ace. Automatic damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2 Fort DC 11 against distraction.

The southern derakni lashes at Atum.
Bite, PA: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 181d4 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20 Fort DC 23 vs Poison, take 1d4 ⇒ 1 Con damage if it fails.
Claw, PA: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 201d4 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19
Claw, PA: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 351d4 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17
Sting, PA: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 241d8 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19 Fort DC 23 vs Poison, take 1d4 ⇒ 3 Con damage if it fails.
Then it calls a bat swarm from the Abyss (swift action, doesn't provoke) before taking a step back.
The swarm hassles Atum and Osric. Automatic damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 Fort DC 11 against distraction.

Initiative - round 3
Deraknis
>>> Group 1 (Osric, Ace, Arntoth, Darius)
Vescavor swarms
Group 2 (Cairo, Atum)

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Ace will step forward and cast Hideous Laughter on the big locust guy harassing Atum and swap his Bardic Performance for Dirge of Doom. All enemies gain the shaken condition, no save [–2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.]

DC 21 Hideous Laughter, the Derakni takes a -2 to his save. Also, the Derakni and the Vescavor Swarms are demons, right? They don't get a +4 to their saves against the spell because Ace is a Scion of Humanity Aasimar which means he counts as an Outsider and a Humanoid, thus their types match.

Thanks for bringing the aasimar part to my attention!
Will DC 21: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 - 2 = 25

The derakni doesn't appear to have a sense of humor!

Lame :P Just had to roll 17, huh?

The 35 hits for 14 damage. The swarm does no damage unless they are adamantine bats. . . .

Fort: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

Darius moves and attacks the locust on Arnoth, fighting defensively and using combat expertise..

Power Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28
Dam: 1d6 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22

AC is 35

Did someone cast Haste of BoF? Cant rem

Fort: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Fort: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

Arnthoth grits his teeth as the demon pounds on him. He orders Volfie to flank, then steps toward the demon, delaying for the wolf and attacks again.

Arnthoth Raging Power Attack, Flank: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 2 + 2 - 3 = 32
Damage: 1d12 + 12 + 2 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 12 + 2 + 9 = 34

Iterative Raging Power Attack, Flank: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 4 = 16
Damage: 1d12 + 12 + 2 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 2 + 9 = 35

Volifie circles around to flank the demon with Arnthoth and attacks again.

Volfie Attack, Good Hope, Flank: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 2 + 4 = 28
Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (4, 3) + 9 = 16
Trip: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 2 + 4 = 25

102 + 16 - 78 - 8 = 32 HP

Ace cast Good Hope

Fort: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Confusion round 2/6: 1d100 ⇒ 27

Osric's babbling grows louder and more incessant...

Confusion 2/3: 1d100 ⇒ 75

Oh fishizzle...Sorry Ace! He has to attack the nearest creature.

Grimtooth's mind is not his own, and he snaps his jaws at the fearless bard!

Bite: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

No haste or BoF so far.

Osric, I believe you can still take the Countersong save (which means you and Grimtooth can act normally) since you act just before Ace switches performances.

Darius approaches the derakni, but in doing so gets hit by the demonic locust. AoO, Combat Expertise & Fighting Defensively aren't up yet when he attacks you. AC is 29 for that one.
Bite: 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 17 - 2 = 231d4 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20 *miss*
The magus strikes the derakni, but his careful defensive stance makes him miss his mark.

Arnoth moves in, strikes twice but pierces through only once, leaving a large gushing wound. Volfie flanks the demon with his master, but doesn't manage to hurt the derakni.

Osric can act, but I'll already roll the re-save for the hideous laughter since if the swarm fails, Cairo and Atum will be able to act.
Will DC 21: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 - 2 = 8 *still laughing!*

Initiative - round 3
Deraknis
Group 1 (Osric, Ace, Arntoth, Darius)
Vescavor swarms
>>> Group 2 (Cairo, Atum)

AC 28 misses?

OK, I can't complain about that!

Osric steps 5' out of the swarm of bats and sends some arrows towards the locust-like demon fighting Atum.

Rapid Shot, Manyshot, Deadly Aim, Point-Blank Shot, Favored Enemy, Inspire (still up): 1d20 + 19 - 2 - 3 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 19 - 2 - 3 + 4 + 2 = 22
Damage - DA, PBS, FE, Inspire? 2 arrows: 2d8 + 8 + 12 + 2 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (3, 7) + 8 + 12 + 2 + 8 + 4 = 44

Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim, Point-Blank Shot, Favored Enemy, Inspire (still up): 1d20 + 19 - 2 - 3 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 19 - 2 - 3 + 4 + 2 = 40
Damage - DA, PBS, FE, Inspire? 2 arrows: 1d8 + 4 + 6 + 1 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 6 + 1 + 4 + 2 = 19

Iterative, Deadly Aim, Point-Blank Shot, Favored Enemy, Inspire (still up): 1d20 + 14 - 2 - 3 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 14 - 2 - 3 + 4 + 2 = 30
Damage - DA, PBS, FE, Inspire? 2 arrows: 1d8 + 4 + 6 + 1 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 6 + 1 + 4 + 2 = 21

Confirm Crit on Attack 2?: 1d20 + 19 - 2 - 3 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 19 - 2 - 3 + 4 + 2 = 25
Xtra Damage?: 2d8 + 8 + 12 + 2 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (6, 8) + 8 + 12 + 2 + 8 + 4 = 48

EDIT: The GM may have assumed you didn't already incorporate Fighting Defensively penalties into your roll, Darius, but it appears that you did.

Osric orders Grimtooth to guard, and the wolf heads over to block the remaining swarm of nasty demon-bugs.

Darius: Yes, it has an AC above 28.

Osric: Wasn't Inspire Courage replaced by Countersong? I think that Inspire was up for round 1, then Ace switched to Countersong for round 2, and to Dirge of Doom for round 3. Ace, can you confirm, please?

Ace: Is the northern derakni 35ft. away from you and thus not subject to Dirge of Doom?

Osric hits the creature twice, but its toughened shell deflects most of the arrows' damage.

Cairo and Atum!

Atum lets out a low grunt as he swings his bec de corbin hard at the enemy, taking a step down from the platform to avoid the worst of the swarm!

Not adding Inspire bonuses in case it's no longer up but Good Hope is added in:

+3 adamantine bec de corbin, power attack: 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 17 + 2 = 27
damage: 2d8 + 23 + 2 ⇒ (5, 7) + 23 + 2 = 37
+3 adamantine bec de corbin, power attack: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 12 + 2 = 23
damage: 2d8 + 23 + 2 ⇒ (8, 1) + 23 + 2 = 34

Still have massive reach if it tries to move in on me:

I actually just noticed Heroism and Good Hope dont stack so my attack would have been 2 less to hit.. Moot point but still.. Ill be able to get arcane accuracy going next round..

So I should still get my +2's from Good Hope, not Inspire. A little extra damage through the DR, I guess.

Cairo will cast Blessing of Fervor! on the party.

Looks like Cairo would have gone before Atum so here's Atum's BoF extra attack:

+3 adamantine bec de corbin, power attack: 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 17 + 2 = 21
damage: 2d8 + 23 + 2 ⇒ (7, 6) + 23 + 2 = 38

Atum's massive strikes would have utterly destroyed the derakni... if the monolith hadn't sacrificed precision. (or hadn't been so unlucky with his rolls)

The deraknis shift slightly on the battlefield, the southern one taking a step towards Atum to ravage him with his appendices.
Northern Derakni vs. Arntoth (5-ft step takes place after the full attack)
Bite, PA: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 241d4 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18 Fort DC 23 vs. poison, take 1d4 ⇒ 4 Con damage if it fails.

The deraknis conjure two additional bat swarms to help in the fight. The bat swarms move to engulf everyone except Volfie, biting and flailing at them.
Automatic damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 Fort DC 11 against distraction.

>>> Group 2 (Cairo, Atum)
Everyone can go again. Please state which effect from BoF you pick each round, please.

Arnthoth falls to the ground, slain.....

-44 hp

OK, so I haven't updated my sheet for the new DEX belt, but that's whay all my ranged rolls have been 1 higher. My normal AC should now be 26. For now, I'm taking the +2 to hit and AC, so current AC is 28 for me, 29 for Grimtooth.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

Osric steps out of the swarm and sends a pair of arrows at the creature, followed swiftly by a third.

Skipping Rapid Shot for now to save some arrows. still a full attack, so I can do Manyshot. Shot 8 before, now 3 more...

Manyshot, Deadly Aim, PBS, Favored Enemy, Blessing of Fervor: 1d20 + 19 - 3 + 1 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 19 - 3 + 1 + 4 + 2 = 35
Damage: 2d8 + 8 + 12 + 2 + 8 ⇒ (8, 2) + 8 + 12 + 2 + 8 = 40

Iterative, Deadly Aim, PBS, Favored Enemy, Blessing of Fervor: 1d20 + 14 - 3 + 1 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 14 - 3 + 1 + 4 + 2 = 35
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 6 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 6 + 1 + 4 = 21

My basic arrow accounting is that I carry 40 standard cold iron arrows which I top off as needed. I have some specials blanched, and they are on my ITS. A handful of adamantine and ghost salt left.

EDIT: Crap in a hat! Didn't see what that was going to do to you, Arntoth...

Man, yeah, these things are hard to hit. And I'm rolling like crap. Ok, no more power attack.

Fort: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 Ugh. Dice.

17 from claw + 21 from sting + 10 from Con damage = 48 damage, leaving me at 30/95. Bring it on.

Atum grunt from the pain of the sting and continues to spar against the disgusting demon.

Taking the extra attack:
+3 adamantine bec de corbin: 1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 20 + 2 = 34
damage: 2d8 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (1, 7) + 14 + 2 = 24
+3 adamantine bec de corbin: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 2 = 25
damage: 2d8 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 14 + 2 = 22
+3 adamantine bec de corbin: 1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 20 + 2 = 38
damage: 2d8 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 14 + 2 = 19

Arntoth, as soon as you dropped the derakni would have made his other attacks on someone else. I think that the first attack drops you, right? If so, please make the Fort save against poison, and the two claws as well as the stong attack are redirected on Darius. The bad news is that you need to make two saves, since you are still poisoned from last round (in case you fail the second one, you'll take another 1d4 ⇒ 1 Con damage).

The combined efforts of Osric and Atum slay the southern derakni, which draws his last breath with a vile hiss!

Osric attacked first, so it's Atum's first attack that fell the beast, so Atum may change his other attacks into a move action, if he so wishes.

The stinger will hit only..

Fort: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
shirt reroll Fort: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31

Darius auto defensive casts Mirror Image 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 and then uses a swift to activate Arcane Accuracy.. He uses Combat Expertise and Power Attack..

Attack 1: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35
Attack 2: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31
BoF: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (9) + 21 = 30
Confirm 2: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (20) + 21 = 41

Dam 1: 1d6 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25 +4 for DR Purposes
Dam 2: 1d6 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25
Dam BoF: 1d6 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24
Crit Damage: 1d6 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25

AC 31 plus 5 mirror images..

Wow, lots of action while I was asleep.

1st: Inspire Courage was only up for the first round and I was rotating through song. 2nd: The Swarm only gets one extra save before having to sit out until the end of the spell (7 rounds), not an extra save every round.

2nd: Correct on the Dirge of Doom only affecting the southern Locust and the remaining swarm.

3rd: Ace is glad that Osric's pet didn't KO me.

Fortitude @ Distraction DC 11: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Ace will give the Derakni his Golarion-famous "eyes of beauty" while serenading the Derakni with his guitar, before moving 10' away and turning the guitar up to 11 and Inspiring the party.

Reckless Infatuation on the Derakni. DC 22. If he fails, he is staggered unless he is within 30' of me. Moving 10' should put him 45' away from Ace.

Everyone gains +4 to hit and damage and +2 on charm and fear saves (Good Hope+Inspire)

Appreciate that GM. Arnthoth was sitting at 32hp, so the first two would have hit him, then dropped him at -4 with Raging Vitality keeping him alive.

Fort 1: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28
Fort 2: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26

Stabilize: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 6 - 4 = 16

And I forgot about Volfie as I weeped on my keyboard... ;)

Growling as his master falls, Volfie lunges at the demon.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 2 = 15
Damage: 2d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (1, 3) + 9 + 2 = 15
Trip: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 2 = 26

Do AC's benefit from BoF? If so, he'll take an extra attack.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 = 13
Damage: 2d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (5, 3) + 9 + 2 = 19
Trip: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 12 + 2 = 25

Sarenrae does not discriminate against beasts so yea.

Cairo's eyes widen as Arnthoth goes down. He rushes forward as fast as his plate would allow and lays a hand on the downed barbarian.

Not Align Weapon: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (3, 5) + 8 = 16 So empowered makes that 24
