Drow saves from channel

zerna: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
half damage 7 HP

Filtau: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Full damage 15 HP

1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20 will

I doubt you will bend a knee but before the others act, I figured I'd give you some time to RP or at least respond.

Desmond gasps in pain, he wasn't quite ready to run in yet. Still, he holds his silence. No need to draw attention to himself. Best leave Malcolm or somebody else to call out jabs. That way they will get focused.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Kalim grunts from the negative energy but smiles at the casters on the boat. "They've warded the boat against ...goodness. Hh. No problem."

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 will

I look forward to kneeling on your corpse and spitting in the hole left by croaker.

Will: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 = 10 Grunting in pain Felicitas after a second smiles at the feeble attack. Distract the archers

Meath'd Will save.

will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

"OWWEEEEEEE that hurts."

The big ogre cries out.

Des I assumed you walked out with the group and are among them right now. If that is not the case let me know and make a stealth check.

RD 1: Torbitz

"Bend no knee then feel the pain of Orcus. NOW I COMMAND YOU ALL TO LAY ON THE GROUND!" Will save DC 20

Kalim, Karnog, Grung, Feli, Meath'd, the drow, and Malcolm (unless he is immune to compulsion mind effects), Des (depending on where he is located)

I, of course, think it would excellent if you all were through into the slave pits to face those horrors first hand. :-)

Will Save Drow.

Filtua: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Zerna: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

The fighter withstands the enchantment but Zerna (cleric) drops face down on the cave floor.

Make sure everyone keeps their HP current.

I'll give some time for the saving throws and to see if anyone want to RP responses.

*Blue circle over the drow = prone.

Vertek hand signs to Teran (they are behind Meath'd in the tunnel leading to the dock). Their eyes meet.

meath'd will save from command: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

"OK...I lay down." Meath'd drops prone blocking most of the tunnel with his body.

Updated map RD 1

SR check on Drow?

1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30 will

I forgot about the SR. I have have a quick errand but I'll make the check when I get back.

Speaking on Spell resistance anyone casting a spell at the underclerics and torbitz should roll that check.

SR CL check: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

The drow priestess still crumples to the ground obeying the command.

Will Channel: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Not sure if Aura of Resolve qualifies? If so, everyone within 10' gets a +4 on the save and I am immune.

If not...

Will Command: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

AoR is for charm spells like charm person, I don't think it would effect Compulsion spells like greater Command although both are mind-effecting. I could be wrong, if some one has a link to rulings I'll consider it.

Malcolm's iron will bends but does not break as he resists the temptation to yield to the command.

A archer orders, "Fire on those not heeding The Almighty's command."

Malcolm and others AoR does not effect Compulsion spells see spoiler below. Malcolm gets that ability at 17th level.

Will: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 = 28

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 will

I'll be laying croaker down on your face!

geez 15 posts!

Ac 34 currently

I'll give Des and Kalim a little time to post/respond.

will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22"My mind is my own, foolish cleric."

I'll wait a bit longer on Desmond before I take the archers actions.

AC 22, protection from arrows. Kalim hopes to survive.

Sorry if I didn't make it clear, I'm with the group, but I'm trying to make myself look insignificant (I'm a lightly armored human so that's half the battle).

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Aww s@*%. Desmond thinks as he falls to the ground.

Multi-target save or lose. Nasty.

RD 1: Archers

"Kill the casters...!"

Two archers fire at Grung (easily mistaken as a caster)

WF, Precise shot , Point blank, weapon spec
shortbow comp, mag, PBS, bless: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 29;damage ,comp, mag, WS, bull: 1d6 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 12

Four arrows fly at the flat footed heroes. Remember you are FF.

The distinctive whizzing sound of arrows echoes.

"Meath'd protect clan." The large ogre stands up and pulls out a potion (Cure)

Updated RD 1

One arrow penetrates Kalim's wards, though it's momentum is slowed, lessening the damage.

Grung laughs as the first arrow clang off his armor.

Ya gotta do better than that! clang Another arrow slams into his helmet knocking his head forward, but not harming him.

Better but not good enough!

"Kill 'em...burn d'witch...burn the witch! Kill 'er guud, stick 'er, prick 'er, make 'er deader." Beady evil eyes galre at Felicitas.

I'm stuck on the ground, correct?

if you fail the save you fell prone but can get up as a move action, just like meat

Don't go running off Meat'd Stay by me, work together, plenty of gobbos to splatter

"Me no run...me protect clan...me need drinky first, and a quick snack." You notice he previously put some of his bugs in the healing potion for flavor.

[ooc] i so wanna teach meat to be an armor master like grung[/b]

Atta boy! Make a real warrior out of you yet!

This spell functions like command, except that up to one creature per level may be affected, and the activities continue beyond 1 round. At the start of each commanded creature's action after the first, it gets another Will save to attempt to break free from the spell. Each creature must receive the same command.

Not that I'm ecstatic about pointing out a mechanic that harms us further, but it's in the interest of fairness.

oh, looks like you get another save now then

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Desmond continues to grovel.

Thanks for that catch Desmond. It's not one of my normal spells and we are playing at a bit higher level caster than the norm.

Casting haste at her comrades Felicitas gives her comrades a little bit edge in the comming battle.

Please post the effects of Haste, Feli.

Extra attack with full attack action

+1 bonus on attack rolls
+1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves
+30 feet movement speed (up to double original)

RD 1: Drow Allies

The sneak works his way up and slithers by Meath'd,

stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17

vs. perception:

goblin guard: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

The guard is not caught off guard, but still FF since they did not act "More in tunnel...more in tunnel."

but the rogue does stab at him,

att keen rapier: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17;damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
sneak: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 6, 6, 5) = 26

Startled the drow rogue misses the flat footed goblin.

"Run for the tunnel Zerna...Filtau screw these bastards."

-----

The wizard flies. (already invisble)

-----

Drow cleric: Zerna

"Move make everyone...you too (directed at your party) save your arses...that tunnel there."

She casts blindness at W:-10,

Then she stands.

will save vs DC 17: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

The cleric in front of Kalim winces as he goes blind.
------

The fighter: Filtau

the fighter steps back 5 feet and attacks the yellow trooper standing at the exit they were planning on using (exit is W:-5)

"This way or die fools."

attack 1, short sword: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22;dam: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

attack 2, short sword: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15;dam: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

the surprised goblin is stuck once.

-----
It should be apparent that the drow have no intention to die on the docks, as they move towards an cavern exit.

Updated Map RD 1

The red dot on a token = injuured
The red triangle = blinded
Blue circle = prone
wing token = flying

command save, cleric: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

She fought off the desire to stay prone.

RD 1: Purbok

they do not come in this round.
