Reign of Winter by GM Niles (Inactive)

Game Master nilesr

Kirraak finds a crossbow that is loaded and attached to a tripwire, the tripwire is also attached to a string of pans rigged to fall and cause quite a ruckus. He manages to disarm the trap.

Go ahead and place your own tokens on the map.

I'm not able to move tokens on the map, but Sven will approach the doors, ending at the number 1 (souther square of the two)

Sven approaches the door, with knees bent to lower his height and furs wrapped around his face and shoulders. He continues to mumble under his breath "Doclyn... Kosatchie's crotch... Doclyn... Kosatchie's crotch." When he reaches the door he looks back at the others to make sure that they're ready.

Confident now, he turns back to the door and knocks twice with a bit of force. "Hey it's Doclyn, let me the hell in!" He calls out, before knocking again. "It's cold as Kosatchie's crotch out here!"

Not sure if this is a disguise or bluff check (possibly both?), but the modifier would be the same for either.

Disguise or Bluff: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17

I'll give everyone a few hours to post some actions then I'll be updating. I made the doc editable, sorry I thought I had already done that.

Before Sven approaches the door, and while Kirrak is disabling the trap, Hassan takes the prisoner aside and ties him to a tree, gagging him as well.

"This ought to keep him out of trouble during the fight. Last thing we need is a knife from behind."

When done, he signals to Sven to go ahead, hand on the hilt of his blade, he stands near the porch but out of sight of any of the windows, ready to spring in once the door is opened.

Merisiel will be about 10 ft from the door with a Daze (Will DC 15) Readied against anyone attempting to sound the alarm

Current AC 15

Kirraak is near the door, to provide any support that Sven may need.

He is using his sword rather than his bow, because he believes that he will engage in melee combat.

Perfect

Sven gets a surprise standard action, everyone else post round 1.

Rohkar's Raiders

A leather clad ruffian throws open the door and says Damnit Doclyn you peice of dung.. but stops as he notices the large red haired man in front of him. Behind him Sven sees four other ruffians in various states of lazing about but all are armed.

It was a good move, but maybe not the best one...

"Where is the lady? What have you done to her?" says the strix
Atk: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18 +2 if he is human
Dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 +2 if he is human

A brilliant grin flashes amidst the barbarian's fiery beard as the ruffian staggers back in surprise. "Doclyn's grown up..." He quips, the drives his boot straight into the man's chest.

Unarmed Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

The man avoids the blow, but still has no time to react before Sven methodically pulls his Earthbreaker free and unleashes his fury, sending the hammer crashing over the threshold and clipping part of the doorframe as he does so. His shout echoes throughout the house.

Enters Rage, Round 1 of 6
Power Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Potential Damage: 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (1, 3) + 11 = 15

I know Merisiel talked about fighting defensively and smart, but sometimes Sven flies into a rage. I just want to draw a distinction between character disobedience and a player that doesn't listen... I'll still work on not taking unnecessary risks

Sven's attack misses in the surprise round but then

Round 1

Merisiel will readie a Daze Spell (Will DC 15) on any enemy that tries to sound the alarm

I'm pretty sure Sven's battle cry already sounded the alarm....so you wanna Daze him?

Hassan will burst through the open door, around Sven and the bandit corpse, and attack the nearest bandit with his scimitar.

"IN the name of the Dawnflower, surrender to the forces of good, or be slain." he shouts as he runs into the fray.

Move action to approach, SA to attack

Scimitar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

I'm pretty sure Sven's battle cry already sounded the alarm....so you wanna Daze him?

Bahaha, she might actually.

Gauthier utters a short prayer as he handles his club to infuse it with power. He then moves in the house, sending Winter to catch bandits.

Cast Shillelagh then move in.

Winter: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 31d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

i'll smack him later... :) Daze any enemy that is going to attack the party..

This fight is going to be a long one....Round 2 go go go

Gauthier follows Winter, but turns into the room to his left as he sees men waking up. He pivots and swings his enchanted club with two hands at the first sleeper he sees.
1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 = 222d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 3) + 6 + 1 = 15;

Winter continues harassing the bandit she's previously missed.
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 191d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 21d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

If that door was closed, Gauthier would instead jump on the table to help Winter.

Round 2

Merisiel will Daze (Will DC 15) any target that is legitimate (or Slumber hex if previously dazed)

Sven leaps over the body at his feet and rushes into the room. He knows he needs to get to the stairs, but there's a few obstructions in the way. Flying past the table, he sends his hammer crashing toward the 'ranger' trying to fend off winter. It seems the most direct route to the stairway, and Sven doesn't have time for fancy maneuvers.

Non-lethal Attack: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 - 2 = 22
Potential Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (6, 4) + 9 = 19

Kirraak and Hassan. Also, if you guys move your tokens before I do the recap, please put some arrows. This is in case I have to decide what order things happen in and help me keep track of everything.

Hassan slices at the bandit who recently attacked him. "Cretin, you have been warned. Now feel the wrath of Sarenrae!"

Hassan Scimitar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 eh, oh well...
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

If that drops him and no other threats, Hassan will Move Action by opening the door to what appears to be a bedroom to his north, checking for more enemies or the lady prisoner.

Combat Round 2
Sven [Raging 2/6] rushes the Raider and smacks him into unconsciousness.
Kirraak fires his bow at the Raider attacking Hassan Bow: 1d20 + 4 - 6 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 6 = 16 Dmg: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 Kirraak drops the Raider dead.
Gauthier crushes the skull of a Raider, this one looks ill, as if he had been laying on his sickbed.
Winter attacks a Raider who is rising from his bed. Hitting him and knocking him flat...
Merisiel has no one left to daze....so she moves inside?

Round 3 go go go

As the 'obstacle' crumples unconscious before him, Sven notes the halforc that steps from the far side of the room. With a rather singular mindset, Sven rushes towards her trying to navigate around the outside of the room and avoid the skeletons clambering down the stairs.

"Whoever's upstairs seems to sending the skeletons!" Sven bellows, as if the rest of the group weren't already aware of it. Then, with twitch in his eye he brings his weapon about at what appears to be a more worthy opponent.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Potential Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 3) + 9 = 13
Uh oh, if fumbles are an option...
Fumble Confirmation: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Nah, don't do fumbles. Just auto misses on 1

Satisfied that the bedroom is clear of threat and hearing the call from Sven, Hassan moves (purple arrow) to the end of the table in the dining hall, and invokes Sarenrae once again.

"Goddess, send these icy abominations back to face final judgement with Pharasma. Send me your aid in dispatching them."

Holding his scimitar in one hand, He palms his holy symbol and and a ray of bright white light shoots from it at the nearest skeleton.

Move action to advance. I can occupy the same square as the unconscious guy, right? Then cast Disrupt Undead.

Disrupt Undead, ranged touch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Disrupt Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 1

@ Hassan, yes.

Undeads! But Sven is strong enough to deal with then! I have to help Gauthier!

Moving into the room, stoping near the druid, Kirraak will fire his bow into one of the bandits (the red smiling one).

Atk: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 21
Dmg: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 = 8

Meri post round 3 and 4

Sven collapses to the floor. 5 non lethal damage from the evening I believe. Down to 1 hp as rage ends

Didn't you have 13/14 HP before the skeleton hit you....you got hit for 6, dropping you to 7/14 with 5 NL and you also have a bonus to Con right now that boosts your HP anyways. So you should be at 9/16 with 5 NL

Round 4

As a swift action, Hassan passes Judgement of Healing on himself, which heals him of 1 hp/round for as long as the judgement is active.

Hassan steps 5ft back from the melee, and sends another disrupting ray at the nearest (and already wounded) skeleton.

Disrupt Undead, ranged touch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

HP 3/9, but healing 1 per round. AC 18.

Round 3

Merisiel will move up against a skeleton near Hassan and touch him Healing Hands Touch AC: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (14) - 1 = 131d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Will DC 16

Round 4

Mersiel Will do the same with the other skeleton in combat near Hassan

Healing Hands Touch AC: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 121d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 Will DC 16

Fight Defensively Sven we are coming

Kirraak will take this oportunity to shoot the last bandit in the room.

Atk: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 + 2 - 4 = 11
Dmg: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 2 = 10

Current AC 15

Kirraak will move to protect Merisiel, standing between her and the Ranger.

"Can you save him?" shotting an arrow at the ranger.

Atk: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 23
Dmg: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 2 = 10

Gauthier returns to the main room and, seeing another bandit appear from the saircase, converges on it followed by Winter. Gauthier lets his wolf strike first, hoping it will bring the man down for his own strike.

"Go Winter! Bring him down!"

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 221d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 51d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 = 142d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 4) + 6 + 1 = 16

Round 5

Seeing the skeleton threat diminished and his barbarian ally fall under their onslaught, Hassan moves around the fireplace to a stand beside his fallen comrade.

"Give Pharasma this one's soul, while I petition Sarenrae to save our friend here instead. I will bring attempt to use Her healing powers to help Sven if you keep the evil ones occupied."

Double Move following purple arrow. Heal 1 hp due to Judgement.

Dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Then he will move closer to where one was shouting about a blue-skinned devil.
