Game Master GM Aarvid

=== Round 1 ===

Party up...you are just outside the doorway as shown on the map. No surprise round...so full actions. There are 4 kobolds and 7 bound miners. Sounds of more kobolds can be heard down the steps.

So, what do we think? All bets for diplomcy are off, of does Majal still want to try for a non-violent solution? Yndra's itching for a fight. :)

Everyone done with their trick-or-treating?

Indeed. Apologies for the delay; when I tried to log on yesterday the site was down. :P As for the situation, well...Grax isn't going to take any sacrifices well. See below.

When Grax sees what's going on, his pistol comes out quickly. "Aw, Hells no!" Unless Majal interrupts him (in which case he'll delay long enough for her to speak to the kobolds), he lunges forward and fires at the nearest kobold!

Moving forward and firing at green. If Majal interrupts, as I said, delay until the kobolds respond to her challenge.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 - 1 = 22 vs. touch
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Sapper pops a cork on one of his bottles and downs the liquid.

Using Targeted Bomb Admixture

The site has been down more than it has been up. I will give another half-day or so before posting first round summary

Yndra moves forward and sees the captured miners. She barely manages to restrain herself, looking Majal for guidance.

Delay, same as Grax. If hostilies ensue:

Yndra bundled all her fury, uses magic to shape it and direct it at one of the far kobolds. "FLEE!" she commands in a voice like thunder.

Cast Command, Will save DC 14.

-Posted with Wayfinder

"Seems like we came just in time. ritual slaughter, great golden one. Doesn't Sound good."
With these words, Majal moves to the entrance and casts [i]web] between the kobolds - hpping to catch them by surprise.

DC 15, the green area is affected

Majal, slightly adjusting the web placement so it connects to two walls and does not collapse.
I marked the 2 anchor points with stars for reference. You could also move it 15-20' east to catch the other wall, but then may hit Graxzos.

These masses must be anchored to two or more solid and diametrically opposed points or else the web collapses upon itself and disappears.

Seeing Majal is moving up to cast and not speak, Graxzos fires off a single shot, startling the kobolds...well, except for the one the bullet hit. He never heard the sound as he drops to the ground.

Sapper drinks a bubbling brew.

Yndra commands another of the little buggers to flee.

will: 1d20 ⇒ 7 which he happily complies.

"Yikes! Run!"

kobold reflex: 3d20 ⇒ (11, 20, 16) = 47 so 2 escape
miners reflex: 7d20 ⇒ (18, 18, 5, 5, 13, 11, 6) = 76 so 2 escape

Thaia?

The kobolds spring into action...of a sort. One falls over, dying from gunshot, but stuck in the webs. Another takes off running away from Yndra. A third breaks free of the web, leaving his buddy stuck sound.

escape: 1d20 ⇒ 3 still stuck

Two of the miners are not caught in the webs.

escape: 5d20 ⇒ (17, 15, 16, 11, 19) = 78 and miraculously, 4 of the remaining 5 miners break free on their next attemp.

You hear yips and yells from down in the stairwell...in both common and draconian.

"Webses? We needses fire!!! Be quick!"

You smell fire and the stench of burning webs from deep in the stairwell.

=== Round 2===

Party goes...

bomb ranged touch, 2nd range inc.: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 - 2 = 8
damage, Targeted Admix: 1d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 3 = 13
No splash

Sapper comes rushing forward and spots the kobold standing beside the webs. He immediately let's a bomb fly even though it's a rather long throw. His focused potion will only last a few seconds, so it's now or never.

As the miners head toward them, Graxzos rolls his eyes. "Arright, arright, outta the way..." As he steps around the web Majal has summoned, he adds, "Thanks fer chokin' their entry point!" as he reloads his pistol and eyes the nearest kobold.

Move and reload!

"Nice thinking, Majal. I'm afraid I hear more of them down those stairs." Yndra takes a step forward and stays at the edge of the web, urging the miners to flee. "Get out, and stay behind us. Don't wander off, though! You'll need our help to cross the jungle."

Axe in hand, she waits for an opportune moment to strike at one of the kobolds.

5 foot step, then ready an attack, if a kobold comes in my melee range.

Readied attack: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

"Gloves were off the second ritual murder came into play. Try to get one alive, should be easy if we stop them from burning the sticky stuff."

Focused, Majal moves towards a position where she is able to see what the heck is going on.
If she can see the kobolds below, she will use her sleep hex on one of them [Will DC 14, sleep for 3 rounds], otherwise on the one stuck to the web.

Sapper moves up and hurls at one of the kobolds. However, with the cover provided by the web, the bomb misses gets stuck in the web (no splash).

Graxzos moves and reloads.

Yndra readies an attack for a kobold to come into melee range.

The webs make it impossible to see the stairwell (total cover) but you smell more burning and hear more yips and yaps.

"burn it...burn it. Kill the victims for the golden one!"

Majal will sleep the kobold emerged from the web.

1d20 ⇒ 17 but it is so furious it ignores the hex. It steps forward and stabs at Graxzos.

spear: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Meanwhile the fleeing yellow-bellied kobold returns and charges Majal.

spear, chg: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 = 4

The stuck one tries to break free.

escape: 1d20 ⇒ 15

wow all 3 do!

As do the 2 remaining miners

escape: 3d20 ⇒ (17, 15, 4) = 36

Yndra's readied attack goes against the kobold breaking free of the web, but she misses.

=== Round 3===

Party goes...

"Guh! Gonna take a lot more'n that, scaly," Graxzos growls as the kobold's spear bounces off his leathers. Seeing another one charge Majal, he yells, "Oi! Not on my watch!" Stepping around her, he levels his pistol at the creature from point-blank range.

5' shift and attacking with Up Close and Deadly...

Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 1 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + (3) = 4

Oi. Well, that's still 1 point of damage...unfortunately I'm out of grit. :S

Deciding that reloading takes too long, the dwarf sticks his pistol back into his belt and yanks out his ax and shield.

Move action to sheath the pistol, quick draw ax and shield.

"Take up defensive positions! I'm not sure how many there are, but we could be here for a while. And I might have been wrong about that large beast that's gnawing bones..."

Trying to settle those thoughts for when they matter, Yndra swings again with her axe.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Trusting to her elder, slightly frumpy ally's axe, Thaia steps back 5 ft. from the immediate melee and fires into the other melee.

Musket vs red (precise, point blank, touch attack): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 damage: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

"Get behind the wall all of you!" She shouts to the miners over the sound of battle.

Majal steps back slightly, all the while keeping focusing the same kobold with her gaze. "Sleep, I said!"

Another try for the sleep hex on the same kobold thanks to accursed hex (DC 14 Will or sleeping for 3 rounds)

Graxzos steps back and slightly injures the kobold pressing him. Drawing his axe, he awaits the creature's response.

Yndra, axe in hand, hacks at her kobold foe. However, as it is just about to dodge her swing, the nearest miner distracts the kobold and she chops it down.

Thaia fires her portable canon and obliterates a kobold with a resounding boom.

Majal tries her lullaby again on Graxzo's foe. Will: 1d20 ⇒ 18 But the kobold will have none of it. It attacks Graxzos

Banzai!

spear: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The miners heed Thaia, and run behind the eastern wall.
escape: 1d20 ⇒ 8 the stuck one..remains stuck.

You hear and smell more burning as the hint of torches can be seen within the web. They appear close to burning through the webs.
A louder voice seems to be commanding them to press forward

"Fight on you worms!!! For the golden one! We need sacrifices!"

=== Round 4 ===

Sapper and party go...

Is the stuck thing in the web a miner or a kobold? I see a miner, but he had an x through him like he's dead

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Graxzos bats the kobold's thrust aside and responds with a hefty swing that the kobold (I'm guessing) scampers away from as sparks fly from the stone floor and Graxzos lets out a howl of pain.

"We better back up, Majal!" he calls, glancing uneasily toward the web. "Sounds like these worms've got somethin' else backin' 'em up!"

Enraged anew by the call for sacrifices and the continued sight of the defiled ruins, Yndra doesn't heed Graxzos' warning. She paces at the edge of the web like a caged lion, shaking her axe. "Come here, vermin! Bring this 'golden one', if you dare..."

She's ready to hack at the first creature to come within her reach.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Sorry - maybe a legend is in order...

Graxzos swings at the injured yellow kobold - but misses.

Yndra readies for an axe swing (but probably misses)

Sapper, Thaia and Majal?

It looks like the band of torch wielding kobolds will break free of the webs any moment (like in the next 6 seconds even).

Sapper finally gets a good look at the group coming. it's a tricky toss through all the webbing, but he gives it a try anyway.

ranged touch on purple: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Hits - what is the splash damage? 5hp fire? Save DC?

Sorry. Bomb splash is 5, Reflex DC 14 for half.

Taking that time to reload. It's standard action on this baby.

Thaia reloads her musket and Sapper lobs a bomb into the midst of the webs. Even passing through 10' of goo, it hits the target kobold and explodes.

The original target goes down in a smoldering heap.

His 5 close neighbors take splash damage as well as the webbing to his south is burned away.

reflex: 5d20 ⇒ (12, 6, 15, 20, 19) = 72 vs DC14 5 or 2 fire.

Two others appear to be staggered by the flames and 3 escape most of it.

"AHHHH!!! the little one burns us! Kills it!"

The two lead kobolds, with torches in hand, march forward and burn a 10' section of webbing, which breaks the last of the connections and the entire mass collapses upon itself.

The others, including a larger, tougher looking leader spring forward to attack.

Two in the rear, not realizing how badly burned they were, take one step and collapse.

The larger one moves up past them and attacks Yndra, but she takes a feeble swing at the lead one, unable to connect.

"Feed your life to the Great Golden One!
On Yndra rapier: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24 dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
On Yndra torch+chg: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5

"Bonzai!
On Graxzos spear: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
On Majal torch+chg: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 1 + 2 = 19 fire: 1d4 ⇒ 1
On Sapper spear+chg: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 1 + 2 = 12

I have cleared away dead or dying kobolds to clear the map. Party goes...

"Tha' guy looks unpleasant..." Graxzos mutters as he blocks a spear thrust on his shield and retaliates. As that kobold squeals, the dwarf calls, "Hol' on, Yndra! I'mma comin'!"

Attacking the blue kobold. If he goes down, Grax moves three squares west (risking AoOs) to flank the big guy with Yndra.

Unless that cylinder thing on the map is dangerous? Not sure what that is.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Graxzos chops down the one on Majal and then moves to help Yndra with the burly kobold.

AOO: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 miss

The pink cylinder is an unexploded bomb

...Then I will move into that space as long as doing so doesn't cause the bomb to explode. :|

I think only if you intentionally break it . I am not sure what happens to Sappers missed non splash bomb actually.I had moved you into flank but update where you want.

Bombs go inert within a round so if that's mine is harmless now.

Sapper tasks a step back beside Princess and tosses another bomb. The Kobolds may laugh as the volatile vial flies between them, but they won't be when Sapper hits the square behind and between then, catching both in the splash of fire.
attack square behind and between them: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
The damage is really a formality. DC 14 reflex for half of 5 fire damage to both the little lizards.

Yndra has some choice words in Dwarven when she finds herself skewered by the oversized kobold. When she's found enough calm to think about retaliating, she finds Grax on the other size of the leader. "Tagg!"

She then takes another swing with her axe, hoping it will be for more than show this time.

Attack, flanking: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Musket vs the big one (precise, point blank, touch attack): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 KA-BLAM!: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Sapper steps back and lobs another bomb at the ground behind the big and little kobolds facing Yndra.

He barely manages to hit the spot and the splash of flames hits both.

big: 1d20 ⇒ 4
little: 1d20 ⇒ 20

The big kobold takes the full splash but the little one almost dodges it entirely. However he is still burned badly from his prior exposure to the flames.

Yndra hacks at the leader and he nearly dodges the blow, the distraction provided by Graxzos being the difference on the hit. Despite landing a blow that would have dropped two of the smaller kobolds, he grunts and fights on.

I will feed you to the Golden One!

As he barks out the above, Thaia's musket fires but shoots clear over his head.

Majal decides what to do next...delaying

The kobold to the north steps up and stabs at Majal with its spear.

spear: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16 for dmg: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3 hit

Likewise the southern one tries to stab Thaia.

spear: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 miss

The remaining kobolds step to surround Yndra.

The leader once again stabs his small but deadly-quick rapier at Yndra.
Leader rapier: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 11 + 2 = 24 for dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 hit

Leave this one to me! he barks and the other stabs at Sapper instead

On Sapper spear: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13 for dmg: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

Party goes...

Crap, for a minute I had hoped that this leader kobold was the Great Golden one. Seems like there's an even bigger one out there somewhere. :)

-Posted with Wayfinder

Majal takes a step back, having been slightly overwhelmed by the enemy masses pouring into the room suddenly.

"Give up kobolds! Believe me, it is the wiser choice!" She shouts and a few crpytic words emerge her lips as she points at the big kobold's face.

Blindness, Fort DC 15

Graxzos winces as he sees the big kobold skewer Yndra again. "'Ey scaly! Why don'tcha stop pickin' on old women, huh? 'sthat all yeh can fight? HRRRRAAAAHHHH!" The dwarf steps quickly around Sapper's undetonated bomb and lunges at the big reptile with his ax again!

Attack (flanking): 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 2 = 16
Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

"C'mon! Turn an' fight me!" the younger dwarf calls.

Yndra staggers back from her second skewering, trying to take a last feeble swing at the lightning-quick kobolds while she retreats.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Harumph! Who is he calling old?! Don't you dare go easy on me, Mister!" she yells at Grax. "I've been defending myself before you ev-," she continues, although the words catch in her throat when she coughs up no little amount of blood.

Standard attack with flanking, then a 5 foot step back.

Majal releases a hex upon the champion of the kobolds.

fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 but he resists the old woman's evil eye.

Graxzos moves back into flanking and swings, but the kobold is too quick for him and easily side-steps the blow.

Hah! You needs to be quickers than that!"

Yndra does not even get close on her swing.

"The Golden One will be feeding on you ssssoon and your friendssss too!"

Sapper and Thaia, unless you are both reloading...

Sapper and Thaia, unless you are both reloading...

Yep. Probably moving a bit too when I get home.

Sapper draws his crossbow and loads

Moved.

The three remaining kobolds retaliate...

"Banzai! For the Golden One!

Kobold on Majal spear: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 for dmg: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Kobold on Yndra spear: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14 for dmg: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

Kobold on Sapper spear: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17 for dmg: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Finally the leader, distracted from his attack on Yndra, springs around and stabs at Graxzos.

"Do not standsss between me and my prize!"

Leader on Graxzos rapier: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29 for dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
confirm: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 for dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Party goes...
