Palace of the Vampire Queen (Inactive)

Game Master Terquem

Rownig can take a Round 2 action, I’ll reset Miagnik’s initiative to going last in the round, as he waited for the Medium sized Goblin to move up in front of Hallister

Day 1, turn 4, round 2 (top of the round)

Barely managing to keep a grip on the rough stone wall, Miagnik stabs down at the Goblin attacking Hallister as Mazrim takes an opportunity to strike the same Goblin with his ranseur. Both attacks hit and the big Goblin begin to bleed from his wounds, but grimaces through the pain and keeps up his attack.

Having drawn her short sword, Moralane pushes past Mazrim, drawing the attention of the big goblin who tries to stab at her with his sword

Melee AOO: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

She dodges the blow easily, and strikes out at one of the Goblins attacking Rownig

she moves to A,20 and attacks –A,19

Melee Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

But her attack misses

Atharessa turns around, looks back to where Moralane was just standing, turns back to look down the passageway, and then turns again unsure of what she should do.

”Windel, what should we do? We’re not helping anyone at all!”

Day 1, Turn 4, round 2, (Initiative count 13)

A group of Goblins comes running toward Windel and Atharessa!

From A,12, and A, 13, four goblins come running toward Windel and Atharessa. They are wearing Leather armor and are armed with Goblin Long Bows.One of them makes it to squares D,15 and fires at Windel, while another just behind him, reaches square C,15, and fires an arrow at Ataressa

Attack against Windel
Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

The arrow sails over Windel's head

Attack against Atharessa
Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

But Atharessa is hit, the arrow lodging deep into her left arm

"Stay put wit me, sounds like they are making progress, we need to protect the rear flank. Can ya sing a good war chant to lift da spirtits, nuthin' like a good war chant."

Rownig acrobatics to -A,22 to get flanking with Moralane,

acro threatened Sq: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Coming up behind the goblin the quick dwarf attacks,

TWF, 2 Handaxes, bless, flank: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 23;Damage, dirty fight, underground: 1d6 - 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 + 1 + 1 = 6

TWF, 2 Handaxes, bless, flank: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 24;Damage, dirty fight, underground: 1d6 - 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 + 1 + 1 = 5

Confirming crit for 3X damage:
TWF, 2 Handaxes, bless, flank: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 23

The dwarf focuses on the femoral artery. "He's a bleeder!"

That should be 21HP of damage.

Holding his ground and stabbing at the goblin in A19

attack+bless: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1) + 3 = 7

Day 1, turn 4, round 2 (initiative count 8)

One blade follows another with deadly precision as Rownig cuts the goblin between him and Moralane

The big Goblin grunts with pain and attacks Hallister
Melee attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The Goblin at –A,19 attacks Moralane
Melee Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Leadership Control check for Goblins at -B,17, -C,17; Leader Ship Check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 the DC for this is 15

The Goblins standing by the wall fail to keep still, as they were order, and rush to attack the Dwarves.
-B,17 moves to –B,29 and attacks Moralane
Melee Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

-C,17 moves to –B,21 and attacks Rownig
Melee Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Mazrim stabs at the Goblin that attacked Moralane and wounds the monster

Miagnig and Windel can take round two actions. NOTE: Miagnik, how does it sound if I make you take a Concentration Check to cast spells while clinging to walls? The DC will be 15 + the spell level

"I'm hit purty bad." Pausing a second, "Moralane, how bout we each step and out 5ft to flank this bugger."

Should Windel make a perception check to hear Rownig?

"'ressa we need to be stepping back at least five feet, we don't want to be separated from the others." D/E19 or D19 Windel, E20 Anthraessa. The second option is the preference.

perception to hear Rownig: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Windel will step back five feet to D,19 and let a healing channel go.

healing: 1d6 ⇒ 4

That's fine with me. Even though Miagnik has a climb speed, it's not like he's a spider that can just sit there. Should I be making climb checks to stay on the wall every round when I attack with a melee weapon?

Just in case.Climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Realizing that he was unlikely to do much real damage against the bigger goblin, Miagnik pulled up his spear and began stabbing downward more to interfere than harm.

Aid another to give Hallister +2 to attack.: 1d20 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 17

Day 1, turn 4, round 2 (initiative count 2, end of round clean up)

Windel - No, I think you would hear Rownig without a die roll, and you are okay with healing the Goblin enemies within range right?

Mazrim - can you attack a square next to you? I get confused about Reach weapons, if you cannot attack A,19, do you want to attack -A,19?

Hallister - When you attack in Round 3, you will have a +2 bonus on your attack roll

I forgot I did not have selective channeling, since he already did the action and I don't recon actions, he is fine with healing everyone in range. Sorry guys.

Ow. Down to`16

Hal grunts and hisses through his teeth as the big goblin's steel finds his flesh, then grins as Windle's healing energies strip away much of the pain. Hal tries to counter with an attack of his own.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Hal at the end of the round Windel channeled a healing burst, so your received +4 HP. The bad thing is so did the enemy.

Is it now the top of the round?

RD 3: Rownig

The rogue slips over 5 ft (-B,22) and waits for Moralane to mimic his maneuver to (-B,20), once she has he will attack the goblin in (-B,21),

TWF, 2 Handaxes, bless, flank: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 20; Damage, dirty fight, underground: 1d6 - 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 + 1 + 1 = 7

TWF, 2 Handaxes, bless, flank: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 23; Damage, dirty fight, underground: 1d6 - 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 + 1 + 1 = 5

"Room's mostly clear, start movin' in."

I counted it in. Without it I'd have been at 12. Thanks

That was supposed to be -A19, i cant hit adjacent targets till i get some spiked gauntlets or armour spikes

RD 3: I forgot to add the sneak attack damage that will occur when Moralane flanks with Rownig.

TWF 1: 1d6 ⇒ 6
TWF2: 1d6 ⇒ 6

After taking a vicious blow, Rownig glances at Moralane and smiles as he nods to his right. He hesitates just long enough for her to understand his meaning and then together the two of them step to the north catching the goblin between them and off guard. With one swing followed by a second, Rownig brings the goblin down in a spray of blood.

Seeing the Goblin fall to Rownig’s twin axes, Moralane turns suddenly and stabs at the Goblinthat has snuck up behind her
Melee attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Versus AC 16
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

But the Goblin dodges her attack easily

Meanwhile out in the hall, Atharessa misunderstands Windels warning, and begins shouting a Dwarven War Song as she charges the archers in front of her.

“That be the way of the sword and spear, to death and glory we’ll find it near, into the face of the enemy, for home and hearth and history!

For the remainder of this round, everyone receives a +1 modifier to attack and damage rolls

The Goblin archers are startled by the girl running at them, and they try to fire at her.

this provokes an AOO from Atharessa, who lunges at D,15 with her spear

Melee AOO: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Versus AC 15
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Crit Confirm?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Using both hands Atharessa drives the spear through the goblin, and it dies before it can draw back on the bowstring.

But the others fire
Ranged attack#1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Ranged attack#2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Ranged attack#3: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Versus AC 12
Damage#1: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Damage#1: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Damage#1: 1d6 ⇒ 1

All of the arrows strike the poor girl, and nearly bring her down.

”Ahhhhh!, You little miscreants!” Atharessa cries out. [b] “I’ll do to each one of you what I did to this one!” She lifts her spear in both hands and gets reay to attack another Goblin as she continues her chant.
” “That be the way of the sword and spear, to death and glory we’ll find it near, into the face of the enemy, for home and hearth and history!

"Ya, gonna git yerself kilt that way. You were suppose to step back wit me , not forward. Windel knows he has to move forward to help 'ressa out.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 = 24

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 1 = 22
Critical Damage: 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 4, 2) + 3 = 15

Bam!

Hal's pale eyes glam at the sound of the song and he swings his axe upward from the hip catching the big goblin with a brutal uppercut swing.

Day 1, Turn 4, Round 3 (initiative count 8)

Hallister’s blow is nearly fatal to the big goblin who staggers as the axe cuts through his armor and opens a deep wound. Howling with rage the goblin tries to attack Hallister with everything he’s got.

Melee Attack against Hallister: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

The goblin standing behind the big goblin, moves forward attempting to thwart Mazrim’s attacks by getting in close to him move from –A,19 to A,20

Melee Attack against Mazrim: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

The remaining goblin in the room attacks Moralane
Melee attack against Moralane: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Miagnik, Mazrim, and Windel can now go

RD 3:

"'ressa moved out front ta cut off some reinforcements, hurt her badly though, I'm swingin' out to help" he yells back to the others.

Windel will move from D, 19>D,18> then finish in E, 17. He will convert his Divine Favor to a CLW spell, CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9, and touch 'ressa.

"Now 'ressa, you just clunk that one over the head and move backward to the side corridor with the others."

Miagnik gets a gleam into his eyes as the Big Goblin nearly falls over and he hops off the wall behind Hallister and spins around aiming a hand at the Goblin.

"Gharlin Ghereel'daan"

Miagnik is 5 ft. adjusting diagonally off the wall behind Hallister.

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"Finish off these ones, I'll help those two."
Move to D17 and attack goblin in d15
attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 = 16damage: 2d4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1, 2) + 3 + 1 = 7

(HP 21/27)

It looks like we are back at the top of the next round. Can you update the map and is it alright to proceed with the top of the initiative order?

Day 1, Turn 4, Round 3 (End of round)

The big goblin grins when he sees that he has wounded Hallister, but suddenly, Miagnik leaps from the wall and launches a magical missile at him. The force missile strikes the goblin in the face and it screams, drops its weapon and falls lifeless to the ground.

Windel moves forward and fills Atharessa with healing energy, while Mazim turns and sprints as fast as he can back to help her.

Atharessa killed the goblin at D,15, so Mazrim attack will be aimed at C,15

His ranseur is thrust out to the limit of its reach and stabs another goblin. The goblin groans, mortally wounded, and staggers, but does not fall.

That is the end of round 3, we are at the top of round 4 with Rownig and Moralane acting at the same time

Rd 4: Rownig

The quick dwarf will move to -C,20, positioning himself to limit his foes attacks against him, and viciously hacks at the goblin in -B,19.

TWF, 2 Handaxes, bless, inspire courage: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 12; Damage, dirty fight, underground, inspire cour: 1d6 - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 3

Confirming Crit:

Day 1, Turn 4, Round 4(Initiative count 20 to 16)

Rownig ignores Windel’s shouts and keeps after the Goblin still standing in this room. He swings one axe, and then the other and the Goblin leans back at dodging the first axe, but his body shifts forward as he leans back and the second axe almost eviscerates him. He screams in pain.

Moralane snarls and seems bolstered by the presence of Rownig next to her as she attacks the same goblin using her sword

Melee Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

But her sword swing is easily avoided by the more experienced goblin

Atharessa takes a short step and attacks another goblin with her spear
Melee Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

But this Goblin moves too the side at the last moment.

Day 1, Turn 4, Round 4(Initiative count 13)
Startled by the sudden appearance of another Dwarf, the remaining Goblin archers suddenly have a moment of fright

I am making a morale check, sort of a holdover from earlier editions (updated in my own way). This check is a d20 roll with a modifier of -2 for each dead goblin from this group, +1 for every monster in the group (+3), against a DC that is equal to 10 - the monster’s hit die, in this case 1

Morale Check: 1d20 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (3) - 2 + 3 = 4

The Goblins drop their weapons and flee.

They will move a double their base speed, and not quadruple their speed, because of the maze like nature of this area

It is Hallister's go!

Hal grunts from the pain of the latest wound and was about to retort again when the unexpected bolt of arcane energy slammed the big goblin dead.

He didn't waste a beat lunging forward over the corpse right into the next one with a sidehand swing.

5' Adjust to 20A
Attack goblin 19A, Combat Expertise: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 - 1 = 10

Current AC 20

Rownig catches a glimpse of the large goblin crashing to the ground and Hal steping forward, "'ppreciate d'help." The injured dwarf fiercely grumbles.

Once the goblins flee Mazrim swings back around the corner and into the place vacated by Hallister, striking the nearest goblin if its still up.
attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 1 = 25damage: 2d4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1, 4) + 3 + 1 = 9

Day 1, Turn4, Round 4 (Initiative count 8 )

Hallister presses forward trapping the two remaining goblins in the room between him, Moralane and Rownig. He lunges with his weapon but the goblin avoids the attack. Just then Mazrim hustle back falling in right behind Hallister as he is attacking. Seeing an opening, Mazrim thrust forward and catches the goblin unprepared for a second attack. The ransuer stabs into the goblins shoulder and draws blood.

Determined to stand their ground the last two goblins attack

Melee Attack against Moralane: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Melee attack against Hallister: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Miagnik and Windel are last to go this round

sorted out some misplaced damage to the last two goblins

Noticing the fighting is almost over, Miagnik moves forward and attempts to stab the closer of the remaining Goblins.

attack to A-19: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

"'ressa now come on back ...don't be doin' anything rash. Let's fall back to the others." With that Windrel pulls back to B,19 and he brains the fallen goblin to make sure he is dead. "Gotta make sure they stay down cause down't wanna heal 'em up when I sent forth me holy healing." he begins to hum a little war tune as he goes about his work.

The map is updated, and I moved Windel to B,20

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2) + 3 = 6
Mazrim stabs the goblin again until it falls.

Hal is likewise relentless.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Day 1, Turn4, Round 4 (end of round 4, and beginning of round 5)
Miagnik moves in to get involved in the fight. He lunges with a knife but he misjudges the space between him and the other goblin and his knife doesn’t reach the target.

Mazrim tries again to attack the goblin on the other side of Hallister, but there is too mugh going on and he cannot get a opening.

I want to point out that as long as someone is between Mazrim and his target the target will get a +4 bonus to its AC from soft cover

Day 1, Turn4, Round 5 (Initiative count 20)

Moralane growls with frustration as she continues to thrust first to the left and then to the right trying desperately to land a blow on the goblin in front of her

Melee Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

But the small creature anticipates her every move and abvoids her attacks

RD 5:

Rownig tumbles around the threatened area to -B,18,

acro: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

He comes up behind the goblin in -B,19 and jabs furiously with both daggers. I'm assuming he inspire courage is out of range.

TWF, 2 Handaxes, bless, flanking: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 6; Damage, dirty fight, underground: 1d6 - 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 + 1 + 1 = 5

TWF, 2 Handaxes, bless, flanking: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 10; Damage, dirty fight, underground: 1d6 - 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 + 1 + 1 = 5

The dwarf s]jabs clumsily.
