TOZ's Assault on the Wound [PbP Gameday VI] (Inactive)

Game Master TriOmegaZero

Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 7 = 30

Attack of Opportunity: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2 (Cold Iron if that's a hit)

Bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 2 (Round 3 of 3)

Kel hisses angrily and immediately to the others through the Message spell (DC 25 Perception check if the warlord wants to try to overhear it) -

"What do you think you're doing?? Ionnia can't fit up the ladders you foolss - if you withdraw now you are condemning her to die! If you stay down here and position yourselves for an all-out-attack, I can try and deal with this cloud for you but then I will be unable to do anything else for the rest of the battle, so you all need to pull your own weight!"

Kel's actions will depend on if Ionnia is knocked out of the mouth of the bunker.

If she is: (And if she makes Kel aware via a yell/shout/anything) Kel will use an immediate action to activate one of his two "Clearing the Skies" boons to cast Feather Fall, and then will proceed to jump/dive out of the opening to follow Ionnia and cast a spell on her when he reaches her.

If she is not: Kel will get adjacent to her and sacrifice the spell Burst of Radiance to spontaneously cast Cure Moderate Wounds (2d8 + 7 + 2) on Ionnia.

(I just want my actions out there now - will handle rolls and stuff once we know)

One issue: The cloud is preventing you from targeting Ionnia.

Kel's blade narrowly misses Brae-Hagen's back as he disappears into the cloud.

Climb: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (1) - 3 = -2 Oh, dear. Tell me what happens....

Nemesis unfortunately misses the rungs of the latter in her nausea, stumbling against it and making no progress.

Unable to do much of anything other than retching, Dryden continues to try get control of his nausea. He stops climbing, and just retches.

I'm no help to anyone here...damn nausea!

Oret waits nervously.

Still here, just waiting for Ionnia's roll before I decide what to do.

As for AoO versus Spring Attack. No Ionnia wouldn't get an AoO versus the Spring Attack. The issue is actually action economy. Spring Attack is a full round action and spell strike assumes the ability to cast a spell, unless the spell was cast a round before or as a swift action they are incompatible, just like Vital Strike being unuseable during spring attack or a charge

Fort: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

Alright, that clears up that issue. Brae-Hagen will trust in his defenses to prevent Kel from disrupting his spell, but Ionnia will get a swing as the warlord moves in.

Ionnia suffers a forceful punch, but remains standing in the war room rather than sailing out over the battlefield! Kel quickly moves in to staunch the grievous wounds inflicted on his ally.

20 Minata (Damage: 3, Nauseated, Blessing of Fervor)

14 Nemesis (Damage: 1NL, Nauseated, Blessing of Fervor)
12 Oret
8 Kel (Damage: 4, Blessing of Fervor)
7 Ionnia (Damage: 71, 1NL, Blessing of Fervor) Need Fort save against cloud.
6 Dryden (Damage: 25, Nauseated)
5 Brae-Hagen (Damage: 17)

Ionnia will also attack in kind on her turn

Attack 1: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34 DMG: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (3, 6) + 12 = 21
Attack 2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 DMG: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (6, 2) + 12 = 20
Attack BOF: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34 DMG: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (3, 2) + 12 = 17

Confirm (attack 1): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24 Addt DMG if so: 6d6 + 36 ⇒ (5, 5, 4, 1, 4, 6) + 36 = 61

Confirm (BOF): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34 Addt DMG if so: 6d6 + 36 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 1, 4, 4) + 36 = 51

Miss Chance Over 50: 1d100 ⇒ 3
Miss Chance Over 50: 1d100 ⇒ 36

Ionnia's strikes pass harmlessly through the image of Brae-Hagen, although the warlord's arrogance seems dampened by deadly power of her swings. Ionnia also has an AoO to take, as he could not Spring Attack like he wanted. And don't roll a 1 on the Fort save versus the cloud. Kel may roll his healing.

20 Minata (Damage: 3, Nauseated, Blessing of Fervor)

14 Nemesis (Damage: 1NL, Nauseated, Blessing of Fervor)
12 Oret
8 Kel (Damage: 4, Blessing of Fervor)
7 Ionnia (Damage: 71, 1NL, Blessing of Fervor) Need Fort save against cloud.
6 Dryden (Damage: 25, Nauseated-1 round past)
5 Brae-Hagen (Damage: 17)

CMW on Ionnia: 2d8 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4, 7) + 7 + 2 = 20

Again through the Message spell to the whole party, "Once the warlord makes his next move, I will try to cure your nausea...just *listen* to me and ready yourselves for an all-out attack!"

Oret rushes to the hulking Ionnia's side. Knowing she has the better chance, he decides to provide aid like Kel.

Move and expend last spell slot (detect chaos) to CLW on Ionnia

CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

He continues holding his shield high, ready for Kel's signal.

Hearing the plan, Minata kept inspiring the group as he waited for the command from Kel.

Free action continue Inspiring Courage and delay until hearing the command.

Nemesis leans, heaving, against the ladder...whatever Apsu has planned had better be good....

Hold action.

"I just need to be able to ssee all of you to help you..." (once again whispered through the Message)

Dat miss chance do

Attack AoO: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27DMG: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (5, 4) + 12 = 21

FORT: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (18) + 21 = 39

The warlord snarls in pain as the naginata bites deep. "Your gods will not save you much longer!" he snaps, lashing out at Ionnia again. Each savage strike lands, before the final one bursts cold that chills her to the core once again. But still she remains standing. And even more heartening to the Pathfinders is the wavering of Brae-Hagen's form, as he seems to slide to the side a foot, perhaps two.

20 Minata (Damage: 3, Nauseated, Blessing of Fervor)

14 Nemesis (Damage: 1NL, Nauseated, Blessing of Fervor)
12 Oret Need save versus nausea.
8 Kel (Damage: 4, Blessing of Fervor) Need save versus nausea.
7 Ionnia (Damage: 91, Staggered, Blessing of Fervor) Need save versus nausea.
6 Dryden (Damage: 25, Nauseated-2 round past)
5 Brae-Hagen (Damage: 38)

Alright, everyone can take their actions now, then those still not nauseated will need to save against the cloud again.

Basically holding for Ionnia in order to make all this work...but since I'm going to be offline for the next ~24 hours I wanted to post while I could.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 7 = 30

Taking the Blessing of Fervor +2 to AC/Reflex: AC currently at 25.

Kel will, as a Swift action, activate his Miracle Worker boon from the Silver Crusade, his Holy Symbol shining with Platinum light as he Lays on Hands on himself for 3d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 6) = 12 of healing.

Kel grins as the poisonous gas doesn't faze either of the two Vishkanya. Now he can finally get the others back into the fight! Kel will call out, loudly -

"আইওনিনিয়া, এখন আপনার বাম দিকে পাঁচ ফুট ধাপ!"

As soon as Ionnia takes that step, Kel will take a move action into the space once occupied by the large Madame (path shown in blue - intentionally provoking an Attack of Opportunity), loudly calling out in Taldane, "Your power waness, fiend! Hear the strength of the Gods on High as they return our alliess to the fray!"

Assuming Kel is still standing after taking that movement, he will cast Recentering Drone, targeting Minata, Oret, and Nemesis, reducing their Nauseated condition to the Sickened condition instead!

I'm about out of tricks now, team, since this spell is Concentration to maintain...3 rounds left on Blessing of Fervor...go get him!

Minata felt a bit better as the spell helped settle his stomach. Summoning his strength, the blade of the nodachi glowed as he started smashing at the demon, only striking the air.
Swift action Arcane strike, using the extra attack from BoF. -2 for PA. No need to confirm the critical...
Attack 1: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 2 - 2 + 1 = 231d10 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 2 = 14
1-50 Miss: 1d100 ⇒ 40
Attack 2: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 - 2 - 2 + 1 = 181d10 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 - 2 = 12
1-50 miss: 1d100 ⇒ 49

Waiting for confirmation that Kel's trick worked....

AoO on Kel: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

Kel nimbly dodges the warlords strike before casting his prayer, the holy magic reducing the debilitating cloud to an inconvenience. Minata's strike swings true only to be blocked by a shield of invisible force.

Oret Need save versus nausea.

Ionnia (Damage: 91, Staggered, Blessing of Fervor) Need save versus nausea.
Kel (Damage: 4, Blessing of Fervor)
Minata (Damage: 3, Blessing of Fervor)
Nemesis (Damage: 1NL, Blessing of Fervor)
Dryden (Damage: 25, Nauseated-2 round past)
Brae-Hagen (Damage: 38)

I'm assuming Ionnia is going with the plan, and can still take her actions before the spell goes off.

A strange and welcome sensation comes over Nemesis, dulling the effects of the stench. She looks over at the cambion with schadenfreude in her eyes...and suddenly, a single, booming syllable in the Ignan tongue echoes off the wall behind Brae-Hagen!

sound burst, DC 16, positioned so it only catches Brae-Hagen, Extended by Fervor (meaning 2 rounds of stunning on failed save): 1d8 ⇒ 8

Oret attempts to persevere through the diminishing odds, putting his faith in the right and just hands of Adabar. He moves around Ionnia to put himself into a better position to fight the fiend!

Fortitude: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Morningstar, Channel Smite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 151d8 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 5 + (4) = 15 DC14 Will for half d6
miss 1-50: 1d100 ⇒ 54

Ay, the dice is not been kind.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
CL Check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Brae-Hagen cries out at the sharp snap of sound, but shakes off the discombobulation of the burst. Oret finds himself unable to land the blow but resists the sickening gases.

Oret

Ionnia (Damage: 91, Staggered, Blessing of Fervor) Need save versus nausea.
Kel (Damage: 4, Blessing of Fervor)
Minata (Damage: 3, Blessing of Fervor)
Nemesis (Damage: 1NL, Blessing of Fervor)
Dryden (Damage: 25, Nauseated-2 round past)
Brae-Hagen (Damage: 46)

Ionnia follows Kel's plan stepping out of the way.

Fort: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (20) + 21 = 41 Super useful time for a at 20

Not sure why I'm staggered, if it's only 91 total DMG, I'm still in positive hp, it's troublesome if I drop out of rage, but otherwise ok. I could totally be missing something though.

Sorry Thanksgiving has been crazy here, finally getting things back to normal

Staggering was from the Frigid Touch spellstrike. We'll use your first attack for this round and your second attack for next round, if we're still going. Crud.

Miss Chance Over 20: 1d100 ⇒ 13
Flaming Spear on Ionnia: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25
Miss Chance Over 20: 1d100 ⇒ 33
Damage on Ionnia: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + (1) = 11
Flaming Spear on Kel: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Miss Chance Over 20: 1d100 ⇒ 92
Damage on Kel: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + (2) = 11
Concentration: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
Spellstrike on Kel: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

The mists of the noxious cloud allow the warlord to dodge the heavy strike and press the attack! His spear drives deep into Ionnia, crumpling her form to the ground, before he whirls and stabs at Kel! The first stab nearly catches the servant of Apsu in the throat, but the second goes wide, crackling with electricity.

Oret

Ionnia (Damage: 100, Unconscious, Bleeding, Blessing of Fervor)
Kel (Damage: 15, Blessing of Fervor) DC17 Concentration check to maintain the drone, and Fort save versus nausea. (Unless you are the third target of the drone.)
Minata (Damage: 3, Blessing of Fervor)
Nemesis (Damage: 1NL, Blessing of Fervor)
Dryden (Damage: 25, Nauseated-3 rounds past)
Brae-Hagen (Damage: 46)

Well that did not go well. :(

Stepping over to one side, Minata started shouting out commands to strike better as he continued to inspire the group.

Swift action-Inspire courage (+1), 5' step to new location. BoF extra attack, PA -2,
Attack 1: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 - 2 - 2 + 1 = 191d10 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 - 2 = 12
1-50 miss: 1d100 ⇒ 81
Attack 2: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 - 2 - 2 + 1 = 121d10 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 - 2 = 10
1-50 miss: 1d100 ⇒ 56

Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 7 = 22
(Nope, I only targeted my allies that were nauseated or that had a higher chance of becoming such)

Concentration: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Whew...actually the DC for that was 23 (10 + Damage + Spell Level)

Still taking the +2 to AC/Reflex from BoF. Also Kel is only down 11hp now - he did LoH on himself a few rounds back.

Kel takes the strike from the warlord with a grimace, but his droning spell continues strong, interwoven with Celestial words and divine chants.

He will take a five foot step away from the melee, dropping his kukri and using a spring-loaded wrist sheath to put his Wand of Cure Modeate Wounds into his hand.

Ow...yea...these dice want us all dead, don't they?

Whoops, mixed up continuous damage. I should really know better, my favorite counterspell is readied fireball.

Nemesis takes out a gruesome little doll crudely constructed from charred bones, holds it out between herself and Brae-Hagen so that it just overlaps him in her field of view, and begins twisting and crushing it....

[dice=boneshaker, DC 16, no movement]5d6[/dice]

Using Fervor for +2 attack/AC/Reflex again.

Nemesis will need to cast defensively to be able to target him, as the cloud obscures sight beyond 5ft. You would also know that he has spell resistance at this point.

Makes sense for the Stagger, not unconscious though since I have diehard should be staggered and stable, will change all further actions to drawing the CLW pot, and drinking it, assuming I can live long enough. - 2 rounds, the drinking at least doesn't provoke

For the first time in combat Ionnia will speak
Ouch, that actually hurt

Darn it, I looked for Raging Vitality but not that. Thanks for the heads up. The warlord is going to be very upset on his next turn.

Darn it, I looked for Raging Vitality but not that. Thanks for the heads up. The warlord is going to be very upset on his next turn.

All good man, after this level or next can't remember I'll get Raging Vitality and retrain out of Unbreakable Fighter, giving me more hit points I just couldn't make that happen yet> Loved the name of the Deadly Courtesan, but hated the archetype, so I made my own version

Oret takes a sidestep making a full swing, continuously channelling all of his might into the encounter. He maintains his focus in the ever growing odds through concentrating on the Justice of Adabar.

Morningstar, Flank Channel Smite: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 2 = 221d8 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 5 + (3) = 12 DC14 Will for half d6
miss 1-50: 1d100 ⇒ 14

Dice...why...oh...why...Sorry everyone, the dice hates me, not a single blow landed yet!

concentration DC 19: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

BOOOO!

Flaming Spear on Kel: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Concentration: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

The Pathfinders barrage of attacks fails to make contact before Brae-Hagen turns back to Ionnia, his gaze incredulous. "DIE!" With that savage cry he drives his spear once more into the vishkanya's body, crackling electricity dancing over her scales. Contemptuously, he ignores the junior agents and follows the sound of Kel's drone. His second strike falls far short, causing a snarl as he snaps off a spell, not through his spear but upon himself.

Oret

Ionnia (Damage: 121, Dead)
Kel (Damage: 15, Blessing of Fervor) Fort save versus nausea.
Minata (Damage: 3, Blessing of Fervor)
Nemesis (Damage: 1NL, Blessing of Fervor)
Dryden (Damage: 25, Nauseated-4 rounds past)
Brae-Hagen (Damage: 46)

I really wanted to see that boneshaker too...

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

"That does it!" Snaps Nemesis as she retreats into the cloud, then channels her - and Ymeri's - ashen hatred through her golden unholy symbol!

Channeling Negative Energy, excluding self and still-living party members!

negative energy damage, DC 17 Will save for half: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2 Oh, FFS.

"Alright, we have it flanked! Pound it!" Minata yelled.

Free action continue inspiring courage (+1). BoF for extra attack swift action-Arcane strike. Power attack

Attack 1: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 7 - 2 - 2 + 1 = 81d10 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 - 2 = 16

1-50 miss: 1d100 ⇒ 50

Odd question, with my morale bonus my CON goes up to 25, meaning I can go to 124, I think. Not 100% on that interaction. By a miracle I might not be dead. Honestly not sure

Unfortunately, that second attack would have gone to Ionnia and finished her off either way. :(

Upon hearing the sounds of Ionnia's fall, Oret shouts in desperation.
"You monster!" He puts himself again in harms way, hoping to fend the fiend off. "Move if you must!" He yells to the others, indicating a readiness of self sacrifice if it comes down to it.

Morningstar: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22for: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
miss 1-50: 1d100 ⇒ 16

The dice really hates us.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 7 = 19

Kel gnashes his teeth when Ionnia falls and he hears the desperation in Oret's shout. After what seems like an eternity, Kel ceases concentrating on the Recentering Drone as he utters a prayer under his breath to Apsu.

(Taking the +2 to AC/Reflex: AC currently 25)

Kel takes a move action (intentionally provoking from the warlord - Kel's final position marked with a blue X on the map), and if he is still standing afterwards, he will cast Dimension Door, grabbing Ionnia's body, Nemesis, Minata, and because he took a step closer, Oret - bringing them all up to the First floor of the bunker (Kel's position: blue = on the map), but not before calling out;

"Dryden, በሕይወት እስካለቀን ሁለት ወለሎች እንሄዳለን!"

(and may the dice gods have mercy on all of our souls)

(Also note that there is only 1 round left on Blessing of Fervor after this)

Kel moves in to rescue his allies, but sees the warlord raise his spear...and wait.

No AoO taken for the movement. Kel also realizes that he can only take two Medium creatures with him rather than three.

Crap I forgot it was one per 3 CL not one per 2 CL ><

If that's the case (and if you allow it, GM) Kel will continue moving (I moved the X on the map)...and he'll take Nemesis and Oret along with Ionnia's body (she counts as an object now, right?)

That works. Update to come when I get back to the hotel.

(Kel would also tell Minata through the Message what's happening, btw)

Flaming Spear on Minata: 1d20 + 13 + 20 ⇒ (20) + 13 + 20 = 53
Confirmation on Minata: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Damage on Minata: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + (4) = 13
Crit Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Flaming Spear on Minata: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Concentration: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
1d4 ⇒ 1

Brae-Hagen roars in fury as his enemies retreat, whirling to vent his spleen on Minata. The blow strikes heavily as the nauseating vapors take hold once more. The second strike does not fall so hard, but the warlord makes swift arcane gestures and fades from sight.

Oret

Minata (Damage: 25, Nauseated, Blessing of Fervor)
Nemesis (Damage: 1NL, Nauseated, Blessing of Fervor)
Kel (Damage: 15, Blessing of Fervor)
Dryden (Damage: 25)
Brae-Hagen (Damage: 46)

To hell with these dice.

Dryden finally, free from the nauseating poison, can do something other then throw up huddled in the corner moves up the ladder to join his companions. Feeling immense remorse at the losses they have taken trying to confront the demon and feeling foolish to fall victim to the demons well thought out plans his steps are slower then before the burden of failure weighing heavily upon him.

Kel sighs, clenching his teeth for a moment before he draws out two wands, his voice softer as he speaks to Oret and Nemesis directly, and also to Dryden and Minata through the Message spell. "Our enemy is hurt, and we still outnumber him - and just like us, his array of spells will not last him forever. I will remain by your side to the death if you wish to press him to the end."

*If* the party decides to stay Kel will touch one of the wands to Oret's shoulder.

Wand of Bull's Strength: +4 Enhancement bonus to Oret's Strength for the next 3 Minutes.

(Either way, this is the last round of Blessing of Fervor unless someone's got a level 4 pearl of power hidden in their pocket)
