Rappan Athuk Old School

Game Master brvheart

"Here, Elathras, I have a wand (of Cure Light Wounds) I can try healing you up with a bit."

"I could use the practice anyway."

** spoiler omitted **

You know you can reroll that 1

@ brvheart: Ooops! Thanks for remind me.
clw, wand, re-roll: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

@ Elathras: add another 5 to HP healed.

thanks!

Kaz has one channel left today and a lesser restoration spell, if that would help.

Ill roll the channel and you can roll the LR .

Channel 4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 5) = 16

LR: 1d4 ⇒ 1 well with that and the night of rest, it will put Elatrhas @ 18 str, and full HP, he will rest tomorrow night and be @ 19 str so were good to go and Daal will be at full HP, is there anyone that the 16 didn't put @ full HP?

'So that's what a 'dwarven bed time prayer' sounds like, much more syncopated than 'now I lay me'' Elathras smiles "Thanks Kaz I feel stronger all ready! You guys go to bed Irenicus and I will keep watch and then wake Gruk, Beltin and Dorlgrin OK." Elathras wraps his blanket around himself and stomps his feet to keep himself warm since there is no fire.

Daal nods to Kaz for the healing.

Marching order 2x4:
1. Elathras - Dolgrin
2. Mitleid- Belfin
3. Irenicus - Gruk
4. Daal - Kaztor

Trakas is now replacing Belfin so I will put him there.
You are marching along for about an hour the next day and you hear singing. Everyone make a Will save.

will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
+2 if it is an Enchantment spell

Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26+5 if magic

Trakas, you would want to replace the word Perception with 'Will Save' but you are getting the idea. It is not a spell, but it is an enchantment. Daal, starting walking toward the singing.

Sorry my fault, I was in a hurry. Fix it

It is not a problem. I make at least three mistakes per page. They keep me honest!

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
meh

Will 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15.

Please note the modifiers to the particular type of savenin my profile.

will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
'Is that singing?' Hearing the singing about the same time he see's Daal begin to head that way, "Where ya going Daal?"

at 14 Elathras may be joining him ;)

Elathras and Kaz save, Gruk do not. Still waiting on saves for Irenicus and Dolgrin.

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

botting Dolgrin
will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Daal, Gruk and Dolgrin are walking towards the singing what are the rest of you going to do?

It's a nice tune! What could possibly go wrong? :o

Daal ignores Elathras' question engrossed by the beautiful song that he desperately wants to hear more of.

How will I join the group?

Knowing brv you'll be a charmed consort for one of these harpies! hehe

that would be the old school way of doing things..lol

How will I join the group?

In the maps section above, click on Roll20 map site. This will bring up Roll20. If you do not have an account you will need to create one.

I jumped in real quick, will do more with it later. I love roll20

"Obviously, the boys have been charmed. Either we need to go with them and knock out the singers, or we need to figure a way to,dispel the effect on them."

Elathras walks along with Daal, then hearing Kaz, "Kaz did you say 'charmed' I don't know how to dispel anything," He smiles then "Except by maybe knocking them out. Lets go with them!"

Suddenly out of the trees and thick brush to the north appear a pride of six large lions! Roll init. The 3 that failed their Will Save may only defend and will continue to move toward the singing.

init: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Elathras turns and points at the lions. "Look Kaz, Lions, are they charming too?"

Ah, yes they are very charming. Hungry too and the harpies have rung the dinner bell! FYI, they are 15' long and over 3000 lbs.

ini: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 "Three lions. Dwereter you really rest us!"

init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

if I have an action when the charming starts before the lion's appear, Irenicus casts dispel magic on the effect. (assuming know arcana indicates to me that it is dispellable)

Know arcana: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
Dispel Magic vs spell DC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Initiative 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Their song is not a spell Irenicus, but is Supernatural. The knowledge would be Knowledge Nature and would require a standard to learn anything.

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

init Daal: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
init Dolgrin: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
init Trakas: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

init Harpies: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
init Dire Lions: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Initiative Order Round One
Trakas
Elathras
Dire Lions and there are six not three
Dolgrin
Harpies
Mitleid
Irenicus
Gruk
Kaztor
And yes, you are starting to learn outside the dungeon can be more dangerous than inside sometimes!

hey brv, just looked at the map, are the bushed decorative or rough terrain?

I thought it was under arcana: Identify a spell effect that is in place Arcana 20 + spell level - Not that I would have succeeded. Also, knowledge skills say: Action: Usually none. In most cases, a Knowledge check doesn't take an action (but see “Untrained,” below). Is that std action a house rule?

It is not a spell effect though. You will always get some information on a simple knowledge check, but concentrating to get specifics does take some time. I am flexible about it though.
This is supposed to be a clearing of 60' with a tree in the middle. The rest of the area is heavily wooded and brush. I would not, however, consider it difficult terrain as it more hinders sight rather than movement.
For players info:

Captivating Song (Su)

A harpy's song has the power to infect the minds of those that hear it, calling them to the harpy's side. When a harpy sings, all creatures aside from other harpies within a 300-foot spread must succeed on a DC 16 Will saving throw or become captivated. A creature that successfully saves is not subject to the same harpy's song for 24 hours. A victim under the effects of the captivating song moves toward the harpy using the most direct means available.

Am I to assume that I am not with the party still? I saw my token on the roll20 site but am not sure where I stand with the party just yet.

You are with the party and are first in initiative. I am swapping you out with the NPC rogue that the party had. Otherwise you would be sitting around doing nothing until the got back to Zelkor's Ferry. Not much fun. They had a PC rogue that disappeared about a month ago.

Trakas takes aim at the best directly in front of him and lets fly a single arrow.

Attack:Short Bow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Elathras moves forward raging, "Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty!' Attempting to distract the beasts from his squishy friends, he attacks the nearest with his silver sword.

Move: 25 ft. Attack:MW Silver Greatsword; Rage, PA, FF
attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25 for damage: 1d12 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 6 = 24

Elathras gets his attention and will get an AOO on lion#3 as it passes by

Lion#1 pounces Dolrin
bite: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

claw: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22 damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
claw: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28 damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
rake
claw: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21 damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
claw: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23 damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Ok, so this is not a TPK, I am going to have three of them not attack. They stay back in the bushes out of sight.

The harpies continue to sing. Daal is down, Gruk and Dolgrin move up to the tree where the harpies are.
Mitleid, Irenicus and Kaztor are up.

"Ow!" Bleeding from the Lions bite and two vicious rakes he turns and sees another lion try to get past. "Hey where do you think you are going?' Elathras swings the silver sword at the lion as it goes past,

Aoo:MW Silver Greatsword; Rage, PA, FF
AOO: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29 for damage: 1d12 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 6 = 23

Kaz moves to Daal and casts Protection from Evil on the warrior, trying to allow him to wrest control of his mind back.
