TOZ's Decline of Glory (Inactive)

Game Master TriOmegaZero

Grald touches his side, fingers coming away bloody. "Where tha-" he begins, but is cutoff as the party presses the attack!

Darshan suspects that his invisibility will wear off soon, and so tries to make the best of it. He spends a few moments looking carefully at the closer of the two men in front of the western door, figuring out where best to strike so as to avoid thick bits of clothing and armor and get right to the kidneys. After all, the man may have a kidney stone, and Darshan is just trying to help.

He takes a five-foot step, and stabs at the man.

Move action: study target.

Studied Strike: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Damage if hits: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 2) + 3 = 10 1d6+2 of that is precision damage

There is a good chance he aimed his mithral rapier rather well...

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Additional damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Y' dumba**! Agraic growls as he steps back and shifts his grip to one-handed on his guisarme to take two swings at the apparent commander with his cestus.

5' step

MWK Cestus (On Yellow), Sunder, Power Attack, Furious Focus, Enlarge, Rage, Haste: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

The first swing is a bit wide, because the uncouth fellah ain't used to being quite this large...

MWK Cestus (On Yellow), Sunder, Power Attack, Furious Focus, Enlarge, Rage, Haste: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Damage(Power Attack, Enlarge, Rage): 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

"Maybe don't kill him. Questioning him might be worthwhile." Shigeru comments to his enlarged allies as he pulls a tiny shovel out of his pocket. He draws upon his arcane power and prepares to cast a spell once the mooks finish chopping down the southern door, humming to himself as he does so.

Move plus standard to prepare to cast my last 2nd level spell, Create Pit.

"Oh...I'm so sorry." Chomper replies sheepishly in a deep baritone voice. The eidolon then processed to gently caress the enemy leader into unconsciousness.

Stop swinging if he drops, obviously. Lets not kill him with subdual damage.

Grald falls hard under the eidolon's assault, massive welts and bruises raising on his exposed flesh.

Kensaku jogs to the other door and braces for someone to break through, her naginata held high for a slashing strike.

Readied Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 6) + 8 = 17

Green Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
HACK HACK HACK BLUE: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (2, 6) + 2 = 10

"Door's open! Get in there and help the lieutenant!" A voice cries from the north. Another pair of guardsmen make their way towards the breach in the buildings defenses, as the southern team continues to hack away at the door. The one is caught unawares by Darshan, clutching his side where blood flows heavily. "What was that?" he cries, whirling about with his longsword.

Agraic picks up Grald and moves him out of the caltrop field and away from where most fighting would occur so he doesn't get trampled by his own people.

Move Action: Pick up Grald

Standard Action: Reposition Grald to corner he is now in

Shigeru hears the incoming and looks over his shoulder at them. Sidestepping to get a better view, he points the small shovel in their direction. "DIGGY DIGGY HOLE." he incants, and a 30 foot pit opens up underneath them. He then looks meaningfully at Chomper, who smiles and waggles their tentacles in agreement.

DC 19 reflex to jump out of the way. This is my 4th action after casting haste, so it should be up for another 3 rounds. Darshan should have 5 rounds of invisibility left.

Green Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Red Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

"Sinkhole!" the one man yells, dodging aside.

Chomper starts to head out the door to the incoming soldiers, but falters when seeing that they've jumped out of the way of the pit and opts to let them come to them.

Readied attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
Nonlethal damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Prepare to attack once one of them is in the doorway.

Chomper lurks in the doorway like a massive tentacled teacher for his unsuspecting students.

Chomper lurks in the doorway like a massive tentacled teacher for his unsuspecting students.

Kensaku sighs and readjusts her grip on her naginata and shifts a little to the left, just wating for the thugs to break through.

Readied Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 3) + 8 = 16

Shigeru puts his shovel away and pulls his crossbow off his back. Taking a knee, he draws a bead on the soldier dressed in green accents and fires.

Masterwork Hasted Crossbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Green Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Red Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Damage on Darshan: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

The squad rushes the doorway, taking one tentacle upside the head before puncturing their boots on caltrops. Their sword swings against Chomper are less than enthused. Meanwhile, the two outside the south doors turn to the empty air, swinging wildly at the unseen assailant. One crows in glee as his sword bites savagely into Darshan.

Fed up with waiting, Kensaku swings at the door in an attempt to smash through to the assailents.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Haste Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Damage 1: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 3) + 8 = 13
Damage 2: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 6) + 8 = 18

Yellow Team: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Kensaku's first strike bashes down the damaged door, much to the chagrin of Becher. Outside, the shouts of another team of assailants can be heard.

2 Kensaku

Chomper proceeds to pat the soldiers on the head, mumbling something about loving them and petting them and calling them odd names.

Target the green one first, then red, stopping as they drop. First attack does not count toward rend triggering as it is off turn.

With the southern door open and Chomper dealing with the western threat, Shigeru reloads his crossbow, sidesteps, and fires at the soldiers distracted by Darshan.

Crossbow into melee: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 4 = 24
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5
Crossbow confirm?: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 8 - 4 = 9
Confirmation Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Dang, if only I had precise shot.

Chompers ministrations leave both guards unconscious in the field of caltrops, blood leaking from disfigured faces. Shigeru's bolt strikes true, and the guardsman crumples to the ground. Seeing the door open, the man dashes inside the building, careful to duck against the door to avoid Kensaku's reach.

Longsword on Kensaku: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

3 Yellow Team
2 Kensaku

Darshan has an AoO that may prevent Kensaku from being attacked. I'm guessing her AC is the second number however, so it will not harm her either way.

"Ouch!" Darshan says.

He takes an invisible step forward and stabs at the man in front of him, taking an advantage of a flank with Kensaku.

Rapier attack, including flank: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Oops... just noticed I was supposed to have an AoO.

...but, before that, Darshan stabs at the man as he's moving away from him.

AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Agraic grunts and regrips his guisarme with both hands, whacking at the fellow twice with the flat of the blade.

Another Rage round ticked off.

MWK Guisarme (On Pink, Power Attack, Furious Focus, Enlarge, Rage, Haste, Non-lethal): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Damage(Power Attack): 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (2, 1) + 15 = 18

MWK Guisarme (On Purple, Power Attack, Furious Focus, Enlarge, Rage, Haste, Non-lethal): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Damage(Power Attack): 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (1, 6) + 15 = 22

If the first whack drops him, Agraic does not terminate him.

Darshan's needle precise pokes disrupt the man's assault on Kensaku, before Agraic flattens him with the broad side of his polearm. Two more guards round the corner, rushing headlong towards the opening and the invisible investigator.

Botting protocols active.

Kensaku leaps forward to cover the entrance, swinging savagely at the lead guardsman.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 3) + 8 = 14

The glaive attack goes wide, leaving the phalanx solider unharmed.

19 Agraic
9 Darshan (Damage: 12)
3 Yellow Team
2 Kensaku

Chomper utilizes their increased speed to trundle out the broken doors, passing in front of the yellow soldier. They attempt to stop just outside the building, but bump into something unseen and stumble forward another few steps. Mildly confused but otherwise unperturbed, they turn and swing at the soldier as he attempts to stab them.

Hasted Nonlethal Claw: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Yellow soldier gets an AoO, AC is 27 right now due to buffs. I'm assuming Darshan lets Chomper by. If he wants to block me for some reason I can adjust.

Shigeru follows his eidolon in an attempt to stay within its protective reach. Moving up behind Kensaku he realizes he doesn't have a clear shot on the soldiers and opts to reload his crossbow instead of throwing a hunk of ice at them. "Where are you at Darshan!?" he calls out. "Haste is about to wear off, but I can cast it again!"

Longsword AoO: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

The soldier seems surprised to see the massive creature exit the building, and haphazardly strike out before being belted heavily in the face.

2 Kensaku

The other enlarged party member steps closer to the door, guisarme at the ready.

MWK Guisarme (Readied Attack on whoever gets in front of the door that isn't in the party, Power Attack, Furious Focus, Enlarge, Rage): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Damage(Power Attack): 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (1, 5) + 15 = 21

Darshan eyes a spot to move to, looks at Shigeru, and then says, "Close enough, go for it!"

He then moves invisibly about ten or so feet to be in a different spot to stab from, and stabs at the yellow-bordered incoming member of the degraded phalanx.

But... I don't think he can target Darshan as long as Darshan is invisible.

Stab: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Stab: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

With Darshan's blow, the guardsman falls. His partner dashes headlong into the building, ducking Agraic's readied attack my mere centimeters.

19 Agraic
9 Darshan (Damage: 12)
3 Yellow Team (Yellow: 6, 14NL, Unconscious)
2 Kensaku

Darshan, Chomper, Kensaku, and Agraic all get AoOs.

AoO MWK Guisarme (Power Attack, Enlarge, Rage): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Damage(Power Attack): 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (2, 6) + 15 = 23

"JUS' GIVE U' A'EADY!" the giant fellow grumbles at the eagerly charging fellow.

"No! Stay and play!" the eidolon pouts at the forward retreating guardsman, attempting to inhibit their movement.

Hasted Non Lethal Claw: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

2 Kensaku

Darshan and Kensaku have AoOs, then Kensaku's turn is up.

Kensaku, concerned for the saftey of their ward, rushes to get into a better possition before taking a swing at the running man.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 6) + 8 = 15

Init: 8d20 ⇒ (10, 8, 18, 16, 4, 4, 18, 1) = 79

Ducking and dodging, the man remains on his feet for the moment. And at that moment, all hell breaks loose as Chomper and Darshan see rotting forms emerging from the hazy drizzle!

Darshan and Kensaku still have their AoOs, but I'm going to move us on to the next wave so we can wrap this up. If Chomper has AoOs left, two ghouls are moving in on him now.

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Shigeru hears the moans of the undead and gives a mildly panicked look out the door as the temporal spell fades. "Dead deities, ghouls!" he swears and draws a wand.

"You!" He points at the unfriendly soldier, "Your captain is unconscious. Help us fight those monsters and I'll include you in my haste spell!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29

This is season 0, so I can totally use 3.5 diplomacy rules and standard action to make a request, right?

I believe you target squares with the Haste spell, so if you hadn't moved I could have buffed you, Darshan. :P Luckily I have an in character reason to delay a turn and have you become visible first.

"To hell with you, demon worshiper! I'm getting somewhere to hide!" the man yells back, fear heavy in his tone.

I don't believe you can target squares with 'target: creature' spells, only attack rolls.

"Ooo, squishy men. You gonna taste bad." Chomper comments as they turn to address the moaning beasts. Luckily, they have experience smashing such monsters and are prepared for the foul taste.

Lethal damage, rend when applicable. Target green, then purple. AC currently 26 now that haste has worn off.

I don't believe you can target squares with 'target: creature' spells, only attack rolls.

Ah, you are correct. Magic section states you must be able to see or touch someone to target them with spells that don't require attack rolls. So maybe you could target an invisible creature if you can reach out and touch it? Which would probably provoke an AoO if it was a foe? Expect table variation.

Chomper obliterates the two foes menacing him from the south. Standing in the doorway, the one ghoul looks down at the bodies of the guards and begins to tear into soft flesh, ripping gibbets away and stuffing them in its mouth with savage moans of pleasure.

I may be slightly evil.

Oh, you bastard, you're turning this into a Dead Rising escort mission.

*maniacal laugh, maniacal laugh*

Agraic steps over a bit but maintains distance to take a swing at a ghoulthingie -- that's a technical-like term.

MWK Guisarme (Attack on Red Power Attack, Furious Focus, Enlarge, Rage): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Damage(Power Attack): 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (6, 5) + 15 = 26

Just as the undead monster is about to feed on the body at its feet, Agraic's enlarged weapon sunders it into multiple pieces! Two more of the monsters rush into the doorway, leaping for the large warrior with nasty fangs. The first stomps directly on a caltrop, hobbling forward as the spike punches through the top of its rotting foot.

Caltrops: 2d20 ⇒ (18, 8) = 26

Darshan gets to do stuff. Agraic has two chances for AoOs.

"Cay'en WEPT ah nee' a han'!" Agraic grumbles as he takes a swipe at the orange-ish ghoul.

MWK Guisarme (AoO on Orange, Power Attack,Enlarge, Rage): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Damage(Power Attack): 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (5, 1) + 15 = 21

With another massive swipe, an undead departs the battlefield.
