Pyros's Rise of Legends Homebrew (Inactive)

Game Master waiph

Just a warning that I won't be participating in combat, due to my character not being good at it. So party, plan around me not helping.

Round 1 Initi 15

GM Rosylin had moved up the rigging so the spear was thrown up at her, she always go's to hight in or before a fight and moved there before they attack to see them.

her hight in Rigging 2d4 - 1 ⇒ (4, 2) - 1 = 5x5 = 25 feet up - range to hit both ways

The spear comes up and Roslyn knocks it away with her arm brace.
Close that, just weak throw
She then looks at what's going in,
spell craft to see if they have magic running 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 err no idea

She could not tell if they had magic but she knew who they where, Rosalyn calls out to the fight below

"These creatures are Grindylow, they trip to kill so keep your footing"

then taking aim she fires her Spring bow down at one.

Light cross bow 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 TH 1d8 ⇒ 8 DMG P at the one that is grappling a PC

Round 1: Init:11

From Des' back, looking up at Rosalyn, "Thanks for the heads up"

With a flick of his wrist (Swift Action), a smoke pellet slides into Des' hands as he claps. A think smoke rolls around obscuring him on deck.

Now concealed (20% miss chance), he tries to stand up and side step away. 5ft step

If he can get on top off a box or something stable he will.

Goandai quickly assesses the situation around him as he and Nekare` gain the main deck. Drawing his scimitar, he points at (Grindilow 1) and shouts, Nekare`, attack! while he himself maneuvers closer to the embattled Victor and, if possible, finding a close space which is not threatened, he casts Calm Animals at the octopus

affected HD: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3) + 1 = 6

Rosalyn, its a DC 20 fly check to fly at greater than 45 degrees and at 45° you fly at half speed. So you would only make it to 20 ft. You could land in the rigging, or you'd have to spend a move action to keep moving or make a DC 15 check to stay aloft.

The arrow slices across the Octopus hide and it shudders in pain. Hit!

Desula, when you stand it provokes and is a move action. the Grindylow attempts to stab you.
1d20 ⇒ 20
1d100 ⇒ 26
For 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Crit defense DC 20
Or 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 5) + 2 = 12 +3 wounds
your bonus is Dex+DR (you have no shield or deflection)

The octopus...
will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Barely shrugs off the spell and holds the rat fast.

Crit Defense: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

I blame the boat moving to much

So that vigor first, then 2 wounds for crit multiplier

I think I may not like not rolling my bonuses...

The spear dug Deep into Desula's gut sapping all his vigor and dealing 10 wounds you take the full damage reduced by DR so 2+12 apply DR 1, and you get 3 direct to wounds for the multiplier. That's 16 total after DR from vigor then wounds.

1d3 ⇒ 1
Grindylow 3 on Pyre attacks violently, bristling angrily.
trip: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Then bites into Pyre while he is down.
bite: 1d20 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) - 1 + 2 = 14
For 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 [ooc]magic, no DR[ooc]
As if by magic the Grindylows teeth dig into the Nagaji's armor and scales.

It then flops back and hurls his spear at Rosalyn
spear: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
For 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
The throw is powerful but wide.

The previously flat-footed Grindylow also hurls his spear at Rosalyn
spear: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
For 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 but it goes totally the wrong direction.
Then it takes 5' step and bites Goandi
bite: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14
For 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Once again, the teeth sink into flesh costing Vigor to escape real wounds [ooc]magic, no DR[ooc]

And trips nekare
trip: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Victor grumbles as the octopus grabs hold of him
" tentacles! BAH. Why'd it have to be sea monsters!"

Recap.
Ros attacked the octopus, scratched it but no wound yet. She had 2 more spears tossed at her. Both miss.

Desula hit a smoke stick, but got hit anyway with a crit when he stood. He's hurt.

The octopus shook off the Calm spell Goandi used.

Then Pyre 3 damage and Goandi 4 damage got bit by magic teeth that pierced their armor

Pyre is prone and unthreatened, Goandi is threatened and Nekare is prone.

Thoyoitu, Nekare and Pyre are up. Thoyoitu, will let you ret-con taking advantage of the enemy's flatfootedness

Pyre Roars swinging his Axe.
Power Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 - 1 = 5 or not
Damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Thoyoitu Shoot at them from range or get behind them and sneak attack.

quickly rights herself and assuming she doesn't get tripped during the AoA bites her attacker

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

apparently tripping over her own feet in the process

Wow these dice...
Pyre, you are prone and alone, so you would have to move action to stand and either move to approach an enemy or range attack, or crawl and attack from prone. Or ready an action, but who would approach a dragon with a readied ax?

I missed the part where i was prone. Can i stand them make a partial charge if there is one within range? Otherwise i woulr ready for them to get closer.

Victor! You are also up, I'm sorry I didn't list you. You are grabbed and flanked, but it's your turn!

Victor tries to squirm out of the grasp of the octopus
escape artist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
"I can't...." victor murmurs, down by his failed attempt to escape
I don't remember the appropriate check to escape a grapple so I used escape artist instead. Victor failed the check so he'll take a -4 penalty on escape artist checks for the next hour.

Isn't it just CMD vs CMD?

Just comfirming, but if you nat20,like the monster that hit, you don't have to roll to confirm the critical?

Victor, you can roll escape artist, or grapple with CMD v CMB, or you could just attack.
DESULA if you threaten, the one that gets hit rolls a defense check. To negate the crit.

Thoyoitu, seeing that he stands no chance at combat like this, decides to crawl away from his enemies...or at least try to. Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Nekare stands and the Grindylow attacks as she does
AoO: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 2 = 17
For 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Then Grindylow 1 on Victor trips and bites the rat
trip: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Bite: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 1 + 2 = 17
For 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

He then hurls his spear at Rosalyn.
Throw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
For 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Grindylow 2 then
trip: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
1d100 ⇒ 79

1d100 ⇒ 77
1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18
For 1d3 ⇒ 2
Need ANOTHER defense check, DC 20
Or the another 1d3 ⇒ 3+1

It then hurls it's second spear at Rosalyn
Throw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
For 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Init 15 Wounds 15/24

Two hits, Armor DR 2 7-2 and 2-2, takes 9 DMG, flight checks, DC10 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 Fail drops 10' now 20' away and 10' up next 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 made and stays there.

moves back 20' now 40' away 10' up, shoots back at grappling Squidsworth, 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 +2 if flanked DMG 1d8 ⇒ 5

Rosalyn is hit twice, drops, pulls back and shoots at same target.

how much damage is that?

Didn't include the octopus turn

Grapple: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
For 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 no damage after DR

Victor, you are now prone and grappled, and took 4 damage after DR

Ros,
you were at 20 ft at the end of round 1, and if you are moving up, then you go half speed, both up and sideways. So you would be 20 up and 20 away. It also takes a move action to load an X-bow,

Recap.
Grindylow bit and tripped Victor and then tossed a spear at Ros.

Octopus held Victor

Grindylow failed to trip Desula, then crit-bit him for either 1 or 5 depending on check. Also speared Ros.

Victor, if you are armed, you can AoO the Grindylow 1

gm she was 20 up and 20 out, not on top of the fight or going up, but to the side of it, that was her starting place, if it take a move action to reload then she is now 10' up and 40 away. There is no shot this round as she needs to move and reaload, To my fellow players, are you getting that, "rock falls everyone dies" from this fight, because I am. We may be in big doo doo :p

Round 2: Init:11

All ready ahead of you by bleeding all over myself

Crit Defence: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11

YAY

Des is reeling from the spear point and bite of these vicious little bastards. He side steps away dodging another thrust as the failed cover disperses. He runs a bit to get a better lay of the deck. He then reaches into his belt pouch again for some more colored sand and whips the cascade into all the Grindylows in front of him.

Color Spray DC Will=16

GM said roll and acrobatics check

acrobatic: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Finally a decent roll

Desula had to move rather than 5' to get more than 1 enemy , so he moves out of range of the Grindylow assaulting him and the colors wash over the enemy
Grindylow2 will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Octopus will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Grindylow 4 will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
I was going to say something about how I've been rolling freakishly well on all the rolls that aren't Trip/range attacks but...
and the eyes of the Grindylows near Des and Goandi and they fall to the floor unconcious for 2d4 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4 The octopus clinging to Victor also slides to the deck and lies limp.

Just need Goandi to go and he can move to attack the one fighting Pyre of Victor.
I messed up when I was doing the the template for the AoE, so i had to do a quick tweek. The only ones up are 1 and 3, the one Pyre has been fighting and the one Victor has been dealing with.

well the rules state "a creature which is grappled cannot aoo" so victor will just grumble.

cocks an (area where an eyebrow would be on any any other kind of humanoid mammal) at Desula and nods before rounding (1) to put himself on the opposite side from Victor before slashing at with his scimitar
1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 = 12
dam: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

slashing at what? I think you accidentally left that out Goandai

I think whatever has you grappled

i thought he meant grindylow 1 cause the octopus is out cold.
Even with the flank, the Grindylow dodges the attack.

Round 2 group 2
Grindylow 3 moves 15' around Pyre, And Trips then bites Goandi
trip: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
But the hob hops over the tentacles, and dodges the teeth.

Victor, Thoyoitu, Nekare, Pyre are up.
Grindylow 4 & 2 and the Octo are down, Grindylow 1 is in a flank, and there is only one flank open at the moment for Grindylow 3

Victor is prone by Grindylow 1. Thoyoitu, pyre, and Nekare are un-engaged and standing.

yes, grindylow 1

Pyre moves to flank, with Goandi, the Grindylow that tried to trip him. Then takes a mighty swing with his ax.
Power Attack with Flank: 1d20 + 4 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 2 - 1 = 14
Damage: 1d20 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 3 = 17

charges grindylow 1
1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7

oh, for heaven's sake...

"i knew they told me to lay low, but this wasn't what i expected at all" Victor grumbles

he grabs his crossbow and it unfolds, bolt in place, and fires it at the remaining grindylow
"EAT FLINT YOU HORRIBLE BEASTS"
crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

that wolf is full of surprises

You should reroll your damage, Pyre. Ax does 1d12, not 1d20 damage... So please reroll both your damage rolls that hit. =]

Victor, you are threatened by Grindylow 1 still, but he misses.
AoO: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12
For 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

I'm having a little trouble parcing your header.

that's less than victor's defense. So it doesn't connect right?

Whoops Sorry about that
Damage: 1d12 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 3 = 16

Victor,that attack missed looking at the posts, you should have 0 vigor and 19 wounds left. The first hit was 3 damage after DR, and the last one was 4 damage. First it hits vigor, then deals wounds.
.
Only exception is that crits and some magic deals wounds directly.

Pyre... SPLORP! Your axe carves into the Grindylow's gut and it falls to the floor bleeding out.

Only one Grindylow left up, and a flank available for Thoyoitu.

Thoyoitu moves to a spot where he's as far away as possible from all enemies, while still being within 50 ft of the enemy he wants to flank, and also in the right position to flank. At least, I think I can flank with a Sling? Sling: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 But, as expected, Thoyoitu is completely useless in combat, flinging a stone right at a ship wall.

Most of his party down, the Grindylow trips Goandi
trip: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Then stabs the druid
spear: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10
Miss

Bites Victor
bite: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 2 = 24
For 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
One damage after DR
He then backs away from goandi out of the flank.

Des, I need a DC 10 con check to for last round and this one because you are past your wound threshold (the equivalent of negative HP)

Also, Des, Ros and Goandi are up
Well, Goandi is prone, but its his turn too.

You can't flank at range, only melee

sounds like he only took a 5' step so I'll stand and attack

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

o_0

Now ready to shoot, ill reroll it

th 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 miss DMG 1d8 ⇒ 8 if by some means she hits
Flys 5' back now 45 back 20 up

If we survive, no one tells anyone else how bad we fought. Deal?

The rest of you can go.

Be warned, once colors pray unconsciousness wares off, you won't be able to coup de grace them. So time is ticking and the boss is going to try to prevent that.

Goandi, as you were prone and the Grindylow stepped away, you can stand and approach or move, but can't reach him to attack

Deal

Con Check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

And I'm unconscious

Des after flinging the stream of bombastic colors, drops due to pain.

AVENGE ME!

stands, approaches

Now ready to shoot, ill reroll it

th 1d20+3 miss DMG 1d8 if by some means she hits
Flys 5' back now 45 back 20 up

change of action movement 20' in now 20' away .
