Red Hand of Doom PBP

Game Master Tanner Nielsen

Yeah, so much for the "sneaky fashion." ;)

Tahllana's head swivels around, her eyes wide and disbelieving as the fire sorceress surges forward. "Is she trying to get us killed?" she demands in a loud whisper, fumbling to get her bow into a ready position.

Initiative 1d20+4

This post wasn't showing for me, so I replied from Tahllana's latest posts. Init was 15+4 = 19.

Well that's a surprise.

The lizardfolk look up from their cooking and spy the shrieking human female.

I will add numbers on the next update. Use the map provided above.

DM, I will be out today. Please feel free to run Dragox until I get back. He'll cast Prayer to get things started.

Urgh, now another alarm will be raised you fool...

Double move to U7.

Casting fireball centered at -A,7 if line of sight is not blocked.

5d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 5, 3, 5) = 18 fire damage in 20' radius, Ref DC 17 for half.

Shalani also draws the wand of mage armor.

"Well, I did ask for fire," Tahllana grumbles as Shalani's spell explodes at one of the campfires. Lowering her head, she quickly moves toward some brush nearer the lizardfolk. Double move to H-3; use the concealment provided by the brush to attempt another Stealth 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

bump for Narses

double-bump for Narses

Gaah... sorry!

Narses raises an eyebrow at Shalani's outburst. Deciding to use her cries for attention to gain cover and concealment, hopefully to maintain the element of surprise, he sprints forward after Feek.

Double move to T 2

At work, posting this evening :)

ROUND 1

Shalani looses a fireball into the midst of one of the knots of lizardfolk then draws a wand.
Maysalkirii moves quickly towards the camp.

ROUND 2 MAP

Double move to H-3; use the concealment provided by the brush to attempt another Stealth 1d20+14

She was actually going to H-3, to use the brush from E to H -1 as concealment. She has no intention of standing out in the middle of nowhere to fire arrows. :)

EDIT: Huh, it won't let me [bold] a - for emphasis. That's coordinates H negative three.

EDIT: Huh, it won't let me [bold] a - for emphasis. That's coordinates H negative three.

Fixed. Tahllana is safely hidden at H-3.

DM, what is that image on the map at m26, if you don't mind?

It's a campfire. Same at D23 and -A7.

Maysalkirii casts Divine Favor on himself and draws both sabre's while moving 50 feet northeast.

Narses follows after Feek, drawing his weapons in the process as he reaches into himself and calls forth the hunters anger.

Shalani moves forward to U,-7 and uses the wand to cast mage armor on herself.

Dragox uses his Fireball spell to soften up the lasrgest group of lizardmen, those to the northeast.

Reflex save 17 half.

Damage 7d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 6, 6, 4, 3) = 28

Just need an action for Tahllana.

Tahllana dashes from behind the brush to get a clear shot at the burned group to the west. Move to E -3; shoot lizardfolk 3 using Deadly Aim 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31 Damage 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Confirm critical 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18 Damage 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (3, 1) + 8 = 12

Lizardfolk 6 (28 damage)
Lizardfolk 7 (14 damage)
Lizardfolk 8 (28 damage)

Shalani, please remind me when we rest to memorize a Restoration spell to take care of those pesky negative levels. I forgot all about it.

Need stated actions for Narses, Dragox, and Maysalkirii.

They are permanent negative levels thus its pretty expensive.

Maysalkirii charges to K22, using Chianlii instead of Ilyandrosa.

1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
1d6 + 9 + 4d6 ⇒ (6) + 9 + (2, 3, 6, 4) = 30

ROUND 4 MAP

Whispering a command word, Maysalkirii disables the vicious quality on Ilydandrosa before he makes his next move.

We must save our strength my sweet...

The goblin moves like a blur across the battlefield, charging to I20 and stabbing lizardfolk number 8.

Acro checks to negate AOO from 10 and 11.

1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20
1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28

To hit & damage.

1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32
1d6 + 9 + 4d6 ⇒ (2) + 9 + (6, 6, 6, 3) = 32

Shalani draws her scimitar and advances to assist Tahllana (to J,-2), and casts another fireball, centered at H,19

5d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 3, 2, 2) = 15 fire damage, Ref DC 17 for half damage

Dragox charges Lizardman 7, and attempts a flying kick.

Attack with Divine Favor and charging 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

Damage 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Tahllana gives the lizardfolk directly in front of her a grim smile as she lines up her shot. Attack on lizardfolk 4 using Deadly Aim 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12 Damage 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

The sudden arrival of the fire sorceress at her shoulder distracts her, however, and her arrow flies wide. She mutters an oath and warns Shalani, "Don't let them swarm you," before she moves away again, her bow at the ready. Move to O -2

Great. Our spellcasters are out in the open again.

Narses feels the stings of javelins. Not slowing down he steps up to them, a whirl of blades.

5' step to J 23 and full attack. Starting on no 12 and rest on no 10.

main 1 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29, 1d10 + 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (4) + (6) + 12 = 22
main 2 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7, 1d10 + 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (5) + (1) + 12 = 18
Off 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16. 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

Recieve 26 dmg due to DR for 50 total. Healing anyone?

ROUND 4 SUMMARY

And now we see what half a dozen fireballs can do to a crowd of mooks. :) Maysalkirii, since Shalani took out your target, I adjusted your action.

Shalani blasts the lizardfolk again with fire and advances to support Tahllana.
Maysalkirii charges forward and skewers a lizardfolk.
Tahllana fires again, missing badly. She retreats to regroup and put some distance between her and the lizardfolk.
Dragox attempts a high kick, but barely misses connecting.
Narses steps forward and seriously wounds one of the lizardfolk in a whirl of steel.

ROUND 5 MAP

Standing her ground, Tahllana fires arrows at two of the lizardfolk.
Attack on lizardfolk 2 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 Damage 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Attack on lizardfolk 4 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 Damage 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
5-foot-step to O -1

If Shalani gets in her way (or kills one of the lizardfolk), please redirect her shots so she has a clear line to her target(s). She has Precise Shot so she can shoot into melee without penalty.

Woot, mage armor is working. Yay!

Shalani retreats again, following Tahllani P,-3 and attempting to stay out of the way of the arrows slicing past her. I think I can put the wand away as part of my move action. Let me know if otherwise.

She turns again and explodes another fireball centered at I,1 a short distance in front of her.

5d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 1, 6, 1) = 16 fire damage, Reflex DC 17 for half damage

Then again, if Shalani blows up all three lizardfolk real good and none are left standing, Tahllana will save her arrows and double-move toward the hut. ;)

Note on theose getting seperated from the melee- just follow in our wake rather than heading in another direction ;).

Charge any remaining lizardfolk.

1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 33
1d6 + 9 + 4d6 ⇒ (3) + 9 + (6, 4, 4, 5) = 31

If Feek charges my guy, I will move toward the ladies, if any of their lizzies are still standing. If my guy is still up, I'll full attack.

Dragox throws several punches and kicks at the lizardman in front of him.

Attack 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Damage 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Attack 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
Damage 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Damage 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Blinking the glare of the fireballs out of his eyes Narses sees the remaining lizardmenn fully under controll by his companions. Glancing back he sees another matter. Three lizardmenn advancing on Shalani and Tahllana! With a growl Narses sprints in their direction, hoping to reach them before somthing befalls them, again.

Double move with 40ft speed to L 8.

Sorry, busy day for me. Will update this evening.

Sorry again. The wifey had a really hard day today and needs my attention. I will update early tomorrow morning. Thanks for your patience!

You killed all but #2 near Shalani and Tahllana.

Seeing its nestmates cut down by the Silversong Champions, the lone remaining lizardfolk warrior throws down his weapons and drops to his knees.

Maysalkirii translates for anyone who does not speak Draconic.

Tahllana drops her bow, draws her rapier, and moves to threaten the kneeling lizardfolk.

As Maysalkirii translates the words of Draconic, a look of shock and disbelief grows on the face of the captured lizardman.
