Red Hand of Doom [E6] (Inactive)

Game Master Aldizog

Reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

Bran hears the familiar crackle of acid and just quickly turns to the side, avoiding the brunt of it.

Flame leaps on the goblin as Gaius downs it, her now considerable teeth ripping its throat out, before she turns to the remaining enemies, growling fiercely.

Just fluff, since its already down.

Took a 5-foot step toward Bran. But it can still do a full attack, I think? The one thing I absolutely don't want to happen is for the creature to attack Bran. My AC is 25 right now, and I want to protect Bran from eating more damage.

Stairs are difficult terrain. That's what prevents it from 5' stepping and full-attacking you, but also what prevents you from 5' stepping back - Acrobatics is needed. But even if you fail, taking an AOO + 1 attack is better than taking 3 attacks.
May have limited access over the weekend.

Oh . . . I see.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
Tal'ariel dances nimbly up the stairs.

She does indeed.
Its CMD is 29. But you actually had an extra +2 on your roll from Good Hope, so it wasn't quite that close.
Will try to get the next update tomorrow.

The ogres continue their attacks, one at Gaius and one at Bran.
Attack Gaius: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Attack Bran: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
The one attacking Bran just manages to connect with a solid blow.
Damage: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (7, 6) + 7 = 20
Bran, I'm pretty sure I've been tracking your damage accurately. 16 points from the first ogre hit (17 before DR), 24 from the dragon's 3 hits (27 before DR), 6 from the acid, and now another 19. So that's 65 damage on him.

Bran - my mistake, you still had Defensive Weapon Training (Hammers) up. Ogre didn't hit you, and you are at 46 damage taken.

For resolving your actions, I'll just tell you the dragon has 21 hp left, and is CMD 30 (not counting the fact that it is prone). If you knock it negative after the first check, you can end the grapple as a free action and take a move action if you wish.

Sorry really long night. I lose Defensive Weapon Training when I switch to Greater Grapple actually. It replaces all bonus feats gained from MF when you use a new one.

Bran gets smashed by the ogre but refuses to relent on the dragon beneath him.

Grapple: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (8) + 27 = 35
Grapple: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (12) + 27 = 39

Damage 1: 1d6 + 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (2) + (3, 2) + 11 = 18
Damage 2: 1d6 + 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (2) + (5, 4) + 11 = 22

He hears one final breath come out of it and then he lets go, fatigue and battle damage starting to set in.

After a short but grueling battle, Bran snaps the dragon's neck.

The razorfiend advances on Tal'ariel. It moves nimbly up the stairs to avoid her sword.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
The beast slashes at her with a wing-blade, glancing off her magical ward.
Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23

Razorfiend -38

Trellara drags Hamailii out onto the water, out of the razorfiend's reach. The Water Walk spell also works on the unconscious cleric, as she hovers just above the water's surface.

ACTIVE EFFECTS: GOOD HOPE (+2 morale to attacks, saves, skills, damage)

Gaius, note that there is a broken wall between you and the ogre to the left. It is using its reach to bash you, but the wall prevents you from 5' stepping up to the ogre (call it Very Difficult terrain, counting as 4 squares). You can also move through Bran's space, using Acrobatics to avoid AOOs (or just risk them).

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Gaius moves quickly ahead, skirting Bran and Tal'ariel to hurry down the stairs and confront the razorbeast head on! Flame stays where she is, waiting...

Attack: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 12 + 2 = 30 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13

Crit?: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 12 + 2 = 29 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10

With Gaius engaging the razorfiend, Tal'ariel drops off the ledge and then fires an icy blast at the creature.

Acrobatics vs Ogre's AOO: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 2 = 33
Snowball vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 2 - 4 = 16; Damage: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 5, 1, 1) = 14

Gaius tumbles into position, but fails to evade the razorfiend's reach.
AOO: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21
It slashes at him as he moves around Tal'ariel, but he dodges. He deals the creature a significant blow. Tal'ariel follows that up with a spell.

The beast looks very badly wounded.

The two ogres mindlessly try to pummel Bran, but fail.
Ogre 1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Ogre 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

From the staircase, you hear chanting and a drum - and in step with that, the booming of giant footsteps. A massive two-headed giant clambers up the stairs, with a hobgoblin behind. The barghest comes up the other stairs.
Bran can take an AOO on any one of these foes.

The hobgoblin sees the scene, and while he is alarmed at Bran's size the warrior looks half-dead and exhausted. He laughs, speaking in Goblin.

Don't despair! These are the last foes in the Town Hall, and you have a significant tactical advantage against melee foes that you have not yet made much use of.

Bran lunges with a quick punch at the two headed giant.

Attack of Opportunity: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19 No linger?
Damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

His energy fades and he becomes fatigued, though his rage is still pulsing through him. Spending last round to maintain Rage, AR will expire.

He begins to flurry at the ogre standing next to him.

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32 No linger?
Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Iterative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 No linger?
Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

"I may be tired, but I still have it in me."

Bran hits the ettin in the right head as it comes up the stairs.
Correct, Good Hope is still up, Inspire Courage is not. It lingered for rounds 8 and 9.

Bran hits the ogre once more, but it is still (barely) standing.

The razorfiend attacks Gaius, hitting him twice. Near death though it may be, it seems invigorated by the drumming and its strikes follow the beats.
Wingblade, Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 16 + 2 = 33
Damage: 2d8 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 1) + 6 + 2 = 13
Wingblade, Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 16 + 2 = 22
Bite, Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 16 + 2 = 31
Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9

Trellara uses the wand on Hamailii, bringing her to the brink of consciousness.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Hamailii, I might suggest a healing spell on yourself, or a channel. Any other standard action and you will go to -1.

Gaius bleeds from two blows but not seriously. "Stop that damn noise!" He yells, before his blades leap into work.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 2 = 26 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 = 12
Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 2 = 32 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 = 12 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14
Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 = 15 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14

Crit?: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 2 = 20 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 = 11

Hamailii looks at Trellara and invokes the healing power of Desna.

Channel Energy: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7

Gaius strikes the beast twice, and it falls.

Hamailii, if you were to stand and take a 5' step northwest, you could also catch Bran with that Channel Energy. Where you are now you can affect yourself, Trellara, Gaius, and Tal'ariel. You would also affect the Razorfiend if it still lives, but it would be prone in Gaius's threatened area.

Allright then let's do that if it's possible. Hope you can manage the razorfiend. Don't think i can currently see up there though, since Hamailii should be prone.

Some of the razorfiend's wounds close, but it does not awaken. Everybody is healed a bit by Desna's grace.

Seeing a cluster of new enemies, Tal'ariel casts a spell and a burst of glitter coats all of them! She then moves up the stairs for a third time, ending up on top of the unconscious razorfiend.

Glitterdust. Will DC16. I think I can hit all the enemies.

Tal'ariel, you'll be leaving out either the northernmost ogre or else the barghest, but you can catch four out of five enemies. Preference?

Tal'ariel figures that the ogres are more likely to be affected, and also hit hard, so she tries to catch the top ogre and leaves out the barghest.
Ogre Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Ogre Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Ettin: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Nurklenak: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
The ogres are blinded; the hobgoblin and his giant thrall are not.

Directed by shouts from the ettin, the northmost blinded ogre strikes at Bran, hitting him.
Attack, IC: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 = 24
01-50 miss: 1d100 ⇒ 68
Damage: 2d8 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (8, 4) + 7 + 2 = 21
It then tries to shake off the effect.
Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

The second ogre also strikes at Bran, but misses.
Attack, IC: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 = 14
It also tries to shake off the effect.
Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The barghest, finally feeling some courage and seeing Bran about to fall, advances to attack. Because of the rubble it cannot take a 5' step, so it tries to be wily.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

This movement provokes an AOO from Bran.
Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
01-50 miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 87
Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Some of the blow is resisted by the fiend's infernal nature, but it is still a solid blow.

The barghest bites back at the warrior, just missing.
Attack, IC, Blink bonus: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 2 + 2 = 20
(AC 24-2 Enlarge-1 Fatigued = 21; will be 19 next round)

The ettin stands around and looks for an opening.

Nurklenak also moves up, trying evade Bran's reach.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
However, Bran does not have Combat Reflexes, so the hobgoblin is safe.

The hobgoblin keeps playing his drums, and concentrates.

Party is up! Bran is exhausted and at 4 hp.
Total Defense is an option. Also, both ogres are blinded, so Bran can full withdraw down the stairs without worrying about AOOs. The square he starts in wouldn't be considered threatened, so the barghest wouldn't get a shot on him.

Trellara moves back towards the party and re-starts Inspire Courage. Her Vanish spell wears off.

Hamailii moves up and channels one more time.

Channel Energy: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12

This should get all of the party except Tal'ariel but noone else. Don't want to risk getting that oversize lizard back to action.

Snow hurries down the stairs to swap places with Gaius and take an angry bite out of the unconscious razorback.

Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Gaius meanwhile rises a short distance into the air and sets his swords to work again, catching the unprepared creature brutally by surprise.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 2 = 32 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14
Attack 2: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 2 = 25 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13

Attack 1b: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 2 = 24 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 = 11
Attack 2b: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 = 21 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14

Crit 1?: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 2 = 21 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10
Crit 1b?: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 = 27 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8

Gaius, you're attacking the barghest? From where you moved, it has cover, but then again you have regained the +2 from Inspire Courage. So all your attacks would be a net -2 over what you've shown. Still good enough to all hit. Also +2 to damage on all of those. Now for the Blink miss chances.
01-50 miss, 1: 1d100 ⇒ 15
01-50 miss, 2: 1d100 ⇒ 28
01-50 miss, 1b: 1d100 ⇒ 99
01-50 miss, 2b: 1d100 ⇒ 53
And both swords are magic? So 39 damage, on top of the 25 it had before...
The barghest falls, dead.

Tal'ariel moves into position to attack the blind ogre.

Curve Blade, Good Hope, Inspire: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 18; Damage, Good Hope, Inspire, Sneak: 1d10 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 2 + 2 + (3, 6) = 27

Another one bites the dust!

Bran is up.

With the nearby threats removed, Bran pulls out a potion of lesser restoration and drinks it, alleviating some of his exhaustion.

"We stand together, even after all of this. Not going to leave you here while I wallow in the back."

The remaining ogre flails ineffectively at where he last thought Bran to be. It's a good swing, just not where Bran is.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 = 28
01-50 miss: 1d100 ⇒ 40
Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
He shakes his head and the glitter falls from his eyes.

The ettin delays.
Fairly obvious it is delaying until somebody is in full-attack range. The difficult terrain means no 5' steps where you can see rubble or bedding. So after the first PC steps into range, I will then resolve the attacks before another PC acts. You are in block initiative so whoever moves their icon is the one that goes.

The hobgoblin takes a step, pulls out a scroll, and casts it on Bran.
The spell has no effect!
Communal Protection from Evil just blocked a Dominate Person.

Trellara moves around, sees the ogre looming over the stairs, and uses Total Defense.

Flame savages the Razorfiend some more finally killing it.

Hamailii, you do not have a clear shot with the Scorching Ray wand to hit the ettin or the hobgoblin, though if you move north or northwest you can hit the ogre.

ACTIVE: GOOD HOPE, INSPIRE COURAGE

When i move onto the stairs next to Bran, would i get a clean shot against the hobgoblin or ettin? Else just moving north and shooting the ogre.

Hamailii moves up with her wand and fires it.

Scorching Ray: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 4 = 274d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 3, 2, 1) + 4 = 15

Sure, you can move there. Which one do you want to hit?

Gaius can still fly though!

Gaius braves the Ettin's preparation to strike down the goblin.

Attack: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 2 + 2 = 17 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 14

Although the tide is turning in the heroes' favor, they are not out of the woods yet. Gaius flies toward the hobgoblin, and an ill-timed strike goes wide.

The ettin comes to the defense of its master, flails hammering at Gaius.
Left Flail, IC: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 2 = 17
Right Flail, IC: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 2 = 31
Damage: 2d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 6 + 2 = 14
Left Iterative, IC: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 = 17
Right Iterative, IC: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 = 21

In this whirlwind of steel, only one strike lands.

Just as the ogre recovers his senses, Tal'ariel tries once again to catch all of the enemies in a burst of glitter! Glitterdust, Will DC16.

She then moves forward, hoping to harass the enemy spellcaster.
Acrobatics to avoid AOO from the ettin: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 14 + 2 = 23

I'm not 100% sure I can hit everyone, if not, hit the ogre, not the spellcaster.

Going to assume the terrain is difficult even for large creatures. Going to take a little move then attempt a Grapple.

Feeling more confidant from the potion, Bran attempts to grab the Ettin before him; their long limbs reaching over the others.

Grapple: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 2 + 1 = 16

Though it seems he is still more tired than he thinks, and the attack has only half his energy in it.

A nat 1 from Gaius and a nat 1 from Bran; the PCs are having too much fun and do not want the fight to end just yet.
Also, declaring Hamailii's prior attack to be against the hobgoblin if she has no preference.

Ogre Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Ettin Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Hobgoblin Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
The bruisers are unaffected, but the one who prides himself on his immense willpower is temporarily blinded.

Tal'ariel just slips past the ettin's guard hit its CMD exactly.

Bran grabs for the ettin, but misses.

The ogre keeps attacking Bran, managing to connect.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 = 21
Damage: 2d8 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (7, 5) + 7 + 2 = 21
Bran finally falls, his massive form crashing down on the ruined building.

The hobgoblin, blinded, shrieks in terror. The ogre looks his way
Concentration: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
He casts a spell and heals some of his wounds.
CLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Trellara moves up the stairs, trying to dodge the ogre.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
She then looks to Hamailii expectantly and prepares to tap Bran with the wand.

Gaius decides to deal with the spellcaster, hoping that the large, stupid creatures will give up or flee if their master is defeated.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 17 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 12

Guess I've used up all my good rolls for this fight...

Hobgoblin spellcaster is allright as target!

Hamailii has another turn now.

Hamailii aims at the hobgoblin once more with her wand and then makes room for Trellara.

Scorching Ray: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 4 = 204d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 3, 2, 2) + 4 = 16

Trellara looks a bit disappointed. She uses the wand of healing on herself.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
She was hoping you'd give Bran with a Cure Serious Wounds, but I don't really want to have an NPC giving directions to PCs, and it's not like Trellara could shout this out without putting Bran in grave danger from the ogre.

Gaius's swords entirely miss the hobgoblin caster.

Hamailii scorches the caster once more. As he screams in pain, the ogre flinches, and turns his head towards Hamailii. Hamailii will have partial cover against the ogre for +2 AC.

The ettin also flinches and glares at Hamailii, but cannot reach her. Its two heads cannot agree on who to attack.

The left side attacks Gaius, and the right side attacks Tal'ariel.
Left Primary: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 3) + 8 = 15
Left Iterative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Right Primary: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 4) + 8 = 16
Right Iterative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Bran Stabilize DC 14, Good Hope: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15
Bran is about to slip deeper towards death, when he has another vision of a butterfly in his dreams, as Hamailii's Good Hope spell combined with his natural vigor gives him the strength to hold on. Since your mind can function while unconscious, as while dreaming, I'm going to say you can receive morale bonuses while unconscious.

Oh i totally misunderstood that. Would have been a good if not the better option probably. Now that i see this in real play along with the party, everything works out a bit differently than i initially imagined, so i might take Hamailii on a different route than i planned. More caster and healer.

Gaius, do you want to have Flame do anything? He is just in delay right now so can act whenever you want.

She. And no, not yet. I'm leery of getting her into combat right now... I really need to wait until I can pick up Pack Flanking since her main value is to add an outflank bonus and that's gonna be real hard where we are!.

Tal'ariel attempts to slash at both the hobgoblin and the ettin with a swift, deadly stroke. Cleave.

Hobgoblin: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 23; Damage: 1d10 + 10 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 15
Ettin, if prior attack hits: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 19; Damage: 1d10 + 10 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 19

She takes a sidestep to use the hobgoblin as cover against the ettin.
AC21, AC23 vs evil

Tal'ariel's slash wounds both foes.
The ogre attempts to pound Hamailii into the ground to protect his master from the Scorching Rays.
Attack, IC, Partial Cover: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 - 2 = 17
His strike hits the edge of the stairs, missing the cleric.

Now in deep trouble, the caster tries casting defensively.
Concentration: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
His spell fails.
He then tries to escape, fearing a full attack from Gaius.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5, triggering AOOs from both Gaius and Tal'ariel.

Gaius: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 + 2 = 16

Tal'ariel: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 30
Confirm: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 17
Damage: 1d10 + 10 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 20

Gaius wound him greviously, before Tal'ariel takes his head from his shoulders.

Both giants roar in rage.

Trellara ceases her Bardic Performance, though it will linger for this round and next. She moves through the ettin's threatened area.
Acrobatics, Good Hope: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 11 + 2 = 26

Then she heals Gaius with the wand.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Tal'ariel -34
Ogre

As Tal'ariel sharp blade deals the finishing blow, she makes a surprise followthrough that strikes at the ettin! Cleaving Finish feat triggers.

Cleaving Finish: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 25; Damage: 1d10 + 10 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 22

Cleave off of AOOs was a big question in 3.5. Can an AOO (against some who did let their guard down) give you free attacks against someone who did not provoke. You might be familiar with the "bucket of snails / bag of rats" exploit in this regard. Cleaving Finish is the old Cleave. But the "one extra attack per round" limit reduces the Bag of Rats potential, so that's better. And, it's not like you've gotten a lot of use out of the feat. This is the first time "Cleave off an AOO" has come up in an actual game for me, though the rules debates and hypotheticals go back a decade. All that to say, this is fine, just no cheesing to get AOOs against Summon Minor Creature things.
Ettin -52

But I was going to add Summon Minor Monster to my spellbook for this very reason! Just kidding. I actually never heard of this debate before, but Google quickly enlightened me to the uses of the "bag of rats".
