Reign of Winter by GM Niles (Inactive)

Game Master nilesr

Gauthier hurries back, with Winter in tow, to the door where the zombies have risen and, taking in the horrific sight: "What madness is this!?!" slams the door shut and tries to jam it in place with his dagger.

I am assuming Hassan cannot see the newly raised dead or the one who raised them yet, he will act unaware until someone tells him, or they come out of the room.

Seeing the samsaran lady already healing the wounded warrior, Hassan opens and checks the room immediately to his north, trying to ensure it is clear of bad guys.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Is that a full round Action? If not, I'll move to the other door, if so, I'll stay in place. Due to judgement, picks up one more HP 5/9.

Round 6
Sven [4/14 HP, fatigued 8 rounds] stands up and retrives his earthbreaker
Kirraak's arrow finds it mark, but does little to the shambling undead.
Gauthier james the door shut Str: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Winter heels to Gauthier, waiting on his command.
Merisiel heals Sven again, Sven is at 10/14.
Hassan looks into the room, which is cold and unused, the window broken open.
Tenpenny screams again Someone help me! and bursts through the rear doors of the lodge nearly running into Kirraak. She has icicles stuck to her and looks gravely wounded. I did't sign up for this, I didn't want to take the lady.
Rohkar Cindren does some things invisibly.

With Winter sniffing angrily at the door, Gauthier uses his enchanted club to hammer in the dagger deeply to jam the door shut.

"No Winter, were not going in there this time."

Not yet anyway...

Str: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

You were right. I misread the damage tracker. Glad to see Sven's back in.

Fatigue Rounds Remaining 6/7

Sven regains his feet. His head is cloudy and his muscles drag light weights tying him down. Tenpenny's screaming is enough to orient him toward the immediate threat, however. He lifts his earthbreaker back up into the air and moves to intercept whatever might be following her through that door.

Move to the doorway. Ready a standard attack against whatever opponent might come into range.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 - 1 = 13
Potential Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1) + 4 = 8

Also, sorry Gauthier! Sven has no reason to know what you're up against at the moment.

Holding his bow in one hand, Kirraak use the other to draw his sword and use Sven distraction to attack the ranger.

Atk: 1d20 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 + 2 + 2 = 21
Dmg: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 = 8

Sven go right under the creature, trust me she moves to where kirrak is

Ok, I'm confused, Sven you moved through Tenpenny's threatened space? Kirraak who are you attacking?

I'm attacking Tenpenny. Unless I do not think she is a enemy, but by your description, it appears she is.

Sven did run through her threatened space. She didn't seem to be a threat. If he was mistaken, then she gets attacks of opportunity and I believe I will need to roll a bull rush attempt to get through

Round 7
Sven [fatigued, sickened] rushes to the door,Tenpenny allows the mean looking Ulfen to pass her by.
Kirraak attacks Tenpenny scoring a hit.
Gauthier bangs in the dagger.
Winter heeds Gauthier's commands
Merisiel moves
Hassan holds.
Tenpenny drops her weapon and says I give! Please don't kill me, that Blue Skinned witch Izoze is out there!
Rohkar Cindren appears! attacking Sven Sword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 Caught you flatfooted Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 but the poison has no effect. Tacey, you disloyal bi$%^. I'll kill you next.
Blue Skinned Devil lands lightly on the ground and breathes a cone of frost Reflex : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6Reflex R: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15Reflex T: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Cold Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1 Sven is blasted with cold air and is sicked for one round. Rohkar howls in rage as his "ally" blasts him also.
Zombies pile on to the door, attempting to bash it down.
1 Str: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
2 Str: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
3 Str: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
4 Str: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

The door splinters open!

can't access the map when at work. so place me where i need to be

Round 7

Merisiel will Slumber Hex Will DC 16 Rohkar

I'll heal your wounds well this fight is over Tenpenny

"I'll hold the dead back, but feel free to come to my rescues when you're all done with the other evils!" yells Gauthier as he smashes his massive club at the first zombie who peek through the splinters.

Best to stay here and fight them one on one! he thinks, using the doorframe as cover.

"Winter, bring it down!" he growls, letting the wolf try to bring it down before striking. Winter growls and snaps at the attacking zombie.
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 201d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 31d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Then Gauthier follows up with a strike.
1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 = 182d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4) + 6 + 1 = 15

I'm hoping the other zombies will lose their action moving. Let me know if it's not the case. Gauthier will eventually detect their slowness and adjust his tactics.

Kirrak is trying to determine if the halforc is telling the truth or she is lying to him
SM: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9
And he is convinced she is harmless...

Focusing on the problem at hand he fires another arrow at the enemy that just appeared, using a strange magic to hurt Sven and the Halforc.

"Sven, get the hell out of there!" he yells

Attacking Rohkar Cindren
Atk: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 1 + 2 - 4 = 22
Dmg: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 2 = 10

Edit: Using the move action to sheath the sword and then take a 5ft steps to adjust.

Round 7

Unaware of either the zombies, Rokhar or the blue witch at this point, Hassan is still clearing the bedrooms on the northside making no threats remain behind them.

He opens the door to the middle room scanning for threats or aid. H is in the middle of this scan when the door bursts in followed by screams in the entry way.

Whirling he sees the zombies coming from the once-cleared room, and turns to aid the wolf and druid.

Round 8

He moves behind the table hoping to get to the other side of the room, but stopping to call on The Dawnflower's energy once again to blast the undead corpses that are coming through the doorway.

Move action as indicated by Magenta arrow. Standard action to cast Disrupt Undead at closest target. Hassan picks up 2 more HP over these two rounds due to his active judgement. Now at 7/9hp.

Current AC 15

Body aching and stomache churning, Sven watches Rohkar collapse beside him. He may not be feeling himself, but he hopes he can still ensure that the man stays unconscious.

Non-Lethal Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 1 - 2 - 2 = 12
Potential Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 2 = 7

oh come one sven this is no time to be smacking with the blunt of your blade like a girl when there is still many enemies to kill. she says disappointed.

Hassan looks underneath the table trying to determine what the sound is that's coming from down there. He holds any further action until that is determined.

Is that a Free Action?

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 if necessary

Hassan you see a thick rug under the table but nothing else, the sounds seem to come from under the rug. Yes FA to take a peek.

Sven is in need of some healing if someone can attend to his wound...

Still not in his best condition to fire, kirraak trys another shoot at Rohkar

-4 from melee, -4 from cover, for a total of -8 pen
Atk: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 - 8 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 + 2 - 8 = 17
Dmg: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5

If things contune like this, Sven is dead next round...

Hearing the lady call for healing, Hassan forgets the sounds under the table for now, and rushes to the aid of those defending the front door fo the cabin.

"I can heal the warrior but I cannot reach him just yet. Fall back to me, Sven and be healed."

To Gauthier:"There is something under the rug. Watch your back, my friend, I will return to aid you."

Double move to end up 1 square short of Sven. Can cast CLW next round if I can get close to him. Now at 8/9 hp due to healing judgement.

1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 102d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 5) + 6 + 1 = 16

Noticing how slow the zombies are to set up, he then urges his wolf to step back with him and moves back into the room.

”What madness is this?” he yells ”Sven, who is the real one?”

I figure I have 50% chance of hitting the real one.

Round 10

Merisiel will apply her own power to her wounded body Healing hands: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Current AC 15

Sven growls at Merisiel's comment. How dare she?! He hears Hassan's call to pull back, but there is something he must prove before he does so... he threatens to charge forward toward the dual images, but the aching in his bones stalls his attack.

Grumbling to himself, he instead moves backwards into the house. He grumbles at Merisiel as he passes. "Keep your eyes open..." he says with a smirk, "and see if I don't start swinging like a man again!" There's a sinister growl to his voice, but you can't help but note the smirk as well.

Strategic retreat... he's getting pummeled, and there's still the devil out there.

Gauthier and Hassan your up.

Hassan grabs Sven and his holy symbol passing the healing power of the sun into the wounded man. After he tosses his dagger to Ten-Penny, allowing her to slash at the zombies.

Cast CLW on Sven. Should clear up both lethal and non-lethal. Five-ft step to near the half-orc. Move action to draw and drop dagger. At full HP from judgement.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"Winter!" yells Gauthier, fearing for his companion. He realizes he needs to shift his tactics.

Gauthier and Winter strike each at their respective zombie, then fall back a few steps.

1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 122d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 6) + 6 + 1 = 15

Atk: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 13
Dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

What are your thoughts on jumping out a window instead of using the door? It's a way to avoid the bottleneck where Kirraak currently is.

My thoughts would be a jump check, probably some damage to you via the glass and a full round action. But I'd give you cool points in return. Actually, I'd allow it as part of a move action. It would take 3 squares of movement and Ref save DC 12 to avoid shards of glass or take 1d6 damage.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Having recognize the spell merisiel was ready for what was about to happen next and the arrow bounces off her magical armor Don't worry kirrak you are about to recover from that compulsion.

As a swift action, Hassan changes his judgement from healing to justice, adding +1 on his to-hit rolls.

As promised, Hassan rushes back to help against the zombies, but sees the half-orc engaged with teh only target. He sends his beam of disruption at the thing, hoping to end it's unlife, but this time the ray misses the target which is locked in combat.

Disrupt Undead, ranged touch, judgement, into melee: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 5

Move action as indicated, Standard to cast.

Gauthier, when he feels the power leave his club, drops it and draws his spear. He kneels beside Winter, looking over her injuries: "Do not worry, for the Forest replenishes all, and life has its season. May yours be Spring.."

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

He looks to the others, longspear ready.

I'll give Sven his turn before I move the baddies. Also,Winter gets an action.

Sven's going for it. With Merisiel down, this is the best way he can help... if he wasn't exhausted, he'd be raging again.

Shock washes over the barbarians face as Merisiel collapses from Kirraak's arrow. He flashes the ranger a look of question and fury, but rather than charging the Strix, he rushes into the bedroom beside him and leaps through the window amidst a shower of broken class and red hair.
Reflex save: 1d20 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 - 1 = 6
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Son of a...

Blood traces pathways down the barbarian's face and arms, where numerous cuts have lacerated his flesh. But they're not enough to keep his hammer from carrying his momentum into Rohkar.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 - 2 = 23
Potential Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 6) + 6 = 14
Heck yes... this move keeps getting better. For x3 damage:

Sven is ready to collapse, himself. But even as satisfied as he is with taking down Rohkar, there is still a demon to deal with. Dropping his earthbreaker to the deck beside Rohkar's body, Sven then draws the newly acquired longbow.

He has not had time to cleanse this weapon, and it feels foreign in his hands. But he sees no other way to reach the flying creature.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Potential Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Sven knows nothing of the magical damage reduction
Oops. And I forgot to account for the -2 to attack and damage rolls from being sickened.

Sven [fatigued 2 more; Sickened] fires his bow, striking Izoze, but the arrowhead shatters upon her magical skin.
Izoze cackles with laughter and flaps off into the sky.

Combat Over. Izoze is leaving for now.

I'm doing away with XP, mostly because I don't want to figure out how many that combat was worth. I do know that you are now level 2! Level UP.

I'll label the rooms of the lodge and you guys can check out room by room, also remember Tenpenny is still alive and now she is armed. She is standing over the corpse of the Zombie eyeing you guys warily. Also, the sounds are still coming from under the table in the main room.
