Redelia's Ironfang Invasion (Inactive)

Game Master Redelia

poke, poke...

I had already placed myself and Harik. Might not be able to post for several days, sorry.

Xakroo, Xakroo, where are you???

Xakroo moves by Alaka and holds one of the arrows, ready to strike. Zarvak stands right next to Trinket.

A troll turns to you. "What are you doing here? Do you have permission to go up to see Jang and Ibzarhak?"

The two circles represent ferrets.

....I'll give someone else a chance to say something before I wreck all potential diplomacy attempts by calling him a villain and attacking. lol

Yep, we totally have permission.

Bluff: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

"If we didn't have permission, do you think we'd be standing here talking to you? No, we'd be trying to kill each other by now."

Aid Bluff: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (18) + 0 = 18

"Unless you wanna explain why you think we don't to them, of course."

Aid Bluff: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Seriously, if they buy this, I'm going to start investing in Druman gold futures...

waiting a bit, in case anyone else wants to help dogpile my poor, defenseless troll... :)

Trinket, who still has her sword out and pointed to the sky smiles widely. "We've got all the permission we need!" she exclaims. "Now, STEP ASIDE! Or face the consequences!!"

Heroic Intimidate!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

The troll rolls his eyes at Trinket, but nods to the rest of you. "Go on up, then. The dragon is a bit grumpy today." He then winks conspiratorially at Petrahk.

Xakroo just stares in complete disbelief, but plays along with it. Thank you Mister...Greatest of Trolls, he bows to the troll, We will make sure to let the dragon reward you handsomely.

Petrahk will return the conspiratorial wink and nod curtly.

"Thanks for the warning. Draconic can get kind of loud, so if you hear some outdoor discussion voice upstairs, don't worry about it." the dragonette offers as the party moves on up.

Barring anything unforseen, of course.

"Victory!" Trinket exclaims.

She follows the others up the stairs.

Huh. Well, a troll probably won't come to an acid-breathing dragon's aid. I guess we don't have to do something about him... Jynnjun leads the way up the stairs, nibbling on one claw a little nervously.

Poxy grins and waves at the troll as they pass.
Curious Poxy wonders if that troll is smarter than he is stupid...

Alaka brings up the rear, nodding to the Troll on the way in thanks.

You make your way carefully up the stairs, and at the top, find yourselves in a narrow passage with doors on both sides.

Please arrange yourselves as you want and tell me which door, if any, you open.

Trinket unnecessarily waves around her rapier when she enters the hall! Any invisible villains are sure to be intimidated by her prowess! Then she scampers down the hall and whips open the first door she comes to (first on the top.)

Poxy comes around the corner and stops in the puddle. He starts jumping up and down in the puddle, splashing water about.
At least partially recognizing the situation, he WHISPERS "Hey look everyone! Hoppy Poxy found a puddle!"

Zarvak sees Poxy jumping in the puddle, and immediately follows suit, hoping about with happy chirps. Xakroo stays a bit behind Zarvak, shaking his head while muttering with a smile, Silly girl.

The dragonette turns to Harik. "Please help me keep an eye on the stairs, in case someone didn't get the memo that we were supposed to be uninterrupted."

She then hits herself with a protective spell Shield and moves up the stairs a bit. Since it's hard to support both the hallway and the stairs at the same time, her focus is on making sure Harik is not isolated and/or cut off by further party movement.

Standard Action: Cast Shield

Move Action: 5' up stairs hugging central core but not in the water, watching the lower staircase.

Harik nods to Petrahk and turns to look down the stairs, watching for trouble

Jynnjun heads to the corner and peeks around.to see whose attention Trinket's attracted.

Sorry about the delay. Could someone move Jynnjun's icon two squares down please?

Moved Jynnjun

Alaka stops at the top of the stairs so that she can cover the hallway and the stairs with her bow. She waits to see what Trinket discovers, knowing that it will be clear, since she would announce any discovery to the world.

Kryptyk joins Trinket down the hall, moving cautiously.

Stealth: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 36

Trinket finds two tiny empty bedrooms.

"Aha! Mysteriously empty bedrooms!" Trinket announces her amazing discovery to the world. She dives into the bedrooms, searching around for any hidden villains and traps.... Then bounds back into the hallway and poses dramatically.

"All clear! HEROES: ROLL OUT!"

She moves across the hall and opens the next mystery door with a great flourish!

Alaka waits where she is.

Xakroo gets worried at Trinket screaming her head off like a chimera with indigestion, but stays at his place while Zarvak continues to play with Poxy.

You might try not announcing our presence beforehand Kryptyk whispers to Trinket.

Trinket laughs at Kryptyk's suggestion. "You sure are a funny guy!"

Petrahk gives Harik a truly *pained* expression, then turns her attention to watching the stairs from below once more.

The stealthy one has good sense. The loud one not so much. Not that I'm a judge of such things, after all.

A tall table in the center of the room holds a large map of the Southern Fangwood covered with marks and figurines, while a large cloth map—more recent and covered in heavy notations—hangs on the northwest wall. A large window to the south looks out over the surrounding forest.

Two hobgoblins who were discussing something at a table turn towards Trinket. At the same time, a door further on and behind you opens, probably from the noise Trinket is making, and another hobgoblin stands at the door.

Would someone else be willing to run Harik in combat? I can provide a stat block.

Which ones are the enemies on the map? I'm not sure which one is Harik.

"AHAHAHAA!" Trinket exclaims. "The Great Hero Trinket and her Amazing Hero Friends are here to stop you, Villains!"

Trinket exclaims, posing and posturing and brandishing her rapier.

Harik is the hobgoblin with the yellow frame. I thought of changing his color to something less threatening, but that is what he started as, and I thought changing it might be more confusing.

With an audible sigh, Kryptyk advances on the hobgoblin in the doorway.

You probably should have just stayed hidden. But I can't have you warning anyone else so...

+1 Distance Starknife: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24 Damage: 1d3 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
+1 Distance Starknife: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 Damage: 1d3 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Kryptyk's starknife twice gouges at the hobgoblin.

Harik watches the stairs for any reinforcements to arrive.

Alaka

Yes, I am happy to run Harik if you want.

Jynnjun hisses as Kryptyk blocks her view of the hobgoblin. She dashes forwards to get a clear shot and casts a spell at the unlucky hobgoblin from point blank range.

concentration, casting defensively: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

Save Will DC 16 negates for the color spray

will save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Ahhhgg! yells the hobgoblin who Jynnjun attacks optically.
stunned for one round She also drops her weapon.

round 2:
Kryptyk
Harik
Jynnjun
Jang (-34HP) (stunned until her turn)

"VILLAINS NEVER WIN!" Trinket exclaims dramatically at the red villain, lacing her pronouncement with arcane power. Biting Words!

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Then she unnecessarily cartwheels through the room and leaps upon the table, brandishing her rapier at the blue villain!

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27

"Have at thee!"

Poxy takes a couple puddle hops to the east and tosses a frost bomb at the red baddie.

touch attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
cold damage: 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 5) + 5 = 20
Fort save DC 17 or staggered

No rush at all, but just a reminder that I need Harik's stat block before his turn comes up if you want me to run him.

I'll get you that stat block when I make my next major game update, Alaka. Thank you.

Petrahk?

The dragonette moves up and makes some arcane gestures, sending some forceful bits towards the visible target!

Move Action: Up the stairs!

Standard Action: Magic Missile!

Magic Missile (L7): 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 3) + 4 = 14

Posting ahead because I likely won't be able to post tomorrow.

Alaka shoots at the bad guy that looks the most injured.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 1 + (2) = 9 (the 1d6 is acid)

If Harik has a ranged weapon, he will move up and attack as well.

Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 8 (plus some amazing bonus)

Otherwise he will drop back and protect the rear of the party, saving his strength for the dragon. And not getting in anyone's way.

We probably both miss. We'll keep doing this until I get back, unless DM wants to bot something else more clever. :)

Trinket's words do indeed bite the red badguy, and Poxy's bomb throws frosty splinters all over him.

fort save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 save made.

Petrahk's little pellets of magic slam into the leader, who yelps again.

The hobbogobbos in the room drink potions (after blue steps away from Trinket a little)

Alaka fires, but it unable to hit the enemy. Harik fires a longbow, but the arrow passes over his enemy's head.
