Reign of Winter (group two) (Inactive)

Game Master Whack-a-Rogue

When Lyosha and Vashti are struck by the spells, Zses stands silent for a moment, horror crossing his face.
"YOU MONSTER" he shouts, his face now contorted with anger "You pathetic नपुंसक, you should have run away when you had the chance! You can छोटयति, खण्ड, उपदहति, sap the जीवन out of me, but the moment you hurt one of my बाधव you signed your मृत्यु sentence! I found a place where I belong and I'm not letting you take it away from me!
भवती निर्हरति सङ्गणिका दूरम् भवदीय अस्तिता!".

Silence was suddenly and abrubtly torn on what to do, The witch... or a copy of him appeared again, this time in the air, friend neverhome was attacked wit a snowball and crumpled and a goat... had evidenly headbutt Miss Vashti. He ran forward and dropped his katanna to hack at the goat beast with his naginata.

attack roll: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

" "

The felinerai yelled in the silent zone.
I do have reach with this thing so mister witch better not fail any concentration checks or imma whacking him a good one >^.^<

Allie frowns. "You stole Gruff! You're mean!" Allie then looks over to the almost dead Neverhome. "What the hells man! Seriously! You steal my goat then try and kill Neverhome! MORON!"

Allies hair begins to burn with fire as her eyes alight. She points her fingers towards the goat. "IF I CANT HAVE GRUFF NO ONE CAN!"

SCORTCHING RAY!!!!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
DAMAGE!!!!!: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 3, 6) = 17

@Vashti: It was a vampiric touch spell, so your martyr's bargain (love that spell, by the way) goes off fine.

@Zses/Percy/Neverhome: He passed the linnorm save but failed the others, so he's Misfortuned and Held.

You unload your most powerful attacks at the man (and goat) who hurt your friends. Ground Radosek vanishes upon being struck by Eredhaias, and Flying Radosek freezes under Percy's furious gaze. Valstoi "Evil Gruff" Goat shrugs off a nasty hit from Silence, but a torrent of fire from Allie knocks him back a step. He remains standing but is definitely singed.

New Round
Your turns

"BAD GRUFF! BAD!"

SCORCHING RAY: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

DAMAGE: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 3, 4, 5) + 1 = 18

He's held! Percy yells, Cave his face in!

Coup de grace available.

Hobbes is silent as he fires another pair of arrows at the flying held witch.

Screaming Bolts, Rapid: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Screaming Bolts, Rapid: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Both Fake-Gruff and Flying Radosek can make 2 DC14 Will saves vs the Screaming Bolts or be shaken.

I.guess I should actually post an action

Percy points at Gruff and a Ray of green energy erupts from her finger.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20
DC 15 fort or sickened

With a scream of absolute fury, driven by emotions she hasn't even fully acknowledged, Sigrun's hammer slams into the witch at the high point of it's deadly arc. CDG: 2d12 + 14 ⇒ (12, 3) + 14 = 29

10 ft reach

CdG: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
CdG: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

With a sickening *crunch*, Sigrun's hammer crushes the Witch's skull.

Waiting on the actions of a few PCs, but Gruff/Valstoi is the only enemy remaining.

Without uttering another word, Zses raises his crossbow and fires at the familiar, hoping that it was enough to off the blasted goat.
Crossbow Attack Roll: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 - 4 = 17
Crossbow Damage Roll: 1d8 ⇒ 6

As the moments pass Neverhome's breathing becomes more steady.

Born to ice
You were too nice

Let your rage eat your own empty heart

Casting Defensibly DC 17: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Attempting to avoid attacks, Vashti Flubs her spell.

Percy, love, I do not wish to alarm you.

I need help please, I am coming to you.

Casting then 20' move[

Letting miss Vashti pass was simple, he stabbed at the bad goat with his naginata frowning at the inept swipe before bending down to pick up his katanna.

attack roll: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

so underwhelming.. ware that goat it has like... super melee dodge powers activated i bet!

Eredhaias Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Gruff shrugs off Percy's spell, but Eredhaias manages to score a hit on the evil goat. Although wounded, it continues to attack, attempting to butt Vashti and Sigrun. Fortunately, they manage to dodge his fierce horns.

New Round
Your turns

Lol I finally get a chance to post, and I'm beat to the punch. Good thing I noticed, though, that you forgot the 1d6 from Elemental Touch. Sadly, that was the last round for it. So....

Elemental Touch: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Ered grins, seeing the fire burn the beast as his blade cuts in.

"Let's see how you like this!"

A strange shape appears over the end of his blade, shaped almost like a frozen rose, as the magus twists his arm about, his left hand looking more like curse gestures. Casting Brand. Can't totally remember how this works, so here goes?.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 2 = 8
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Concentration Check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Brand Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 - 2 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

The elf swings his blade twice, the first time he is more concerned about not hitting his comrades but the second strike seems to be headed for a solid blow.

Hobbes steps forward and fires off another pair of arrows at Gruff.

Rapid, PBS, Bless: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Rapid, PBS, Bless: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Percy suspects, as any reasonable daughter would, that things are very much worse than they appear. No one ever says the do not wish to alarm anyone unless there is reason to be alarmed.
She darts up to mommy and summons her most focused burst of positive energy.
cure Moderate: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 7) + 4 = 12

katana: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 = 11
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

He slashed at the wily goat muttering lowly at its very deft dodge. This evil goat evidently was a champion of its kind.

Silence spell should have expired by now.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Is the goat the smiley face or the frowny face?

Super frowny! Oh and my spell... its a permanent!

As the chaos ensues Sigrun’s rage drives her every step. Dashing past Silence, she moves to stand over Lyosha’s fallen form, spinning to drive her hammer down on the accursed goat.

1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 = 27
1d12 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

"You. WILL. NOT. HURT. HIM!!!"

Allie frowns at Gruff. "I am so disappointed in you, Gruff. You run away and then turn into an evil assgoat. I cannot permit you to live any longer."

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
damage: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4, 6, 2) + 1 = 16

Gruff collapses under a hail of arrows, slashes, and hammer slams. Despite being covered in wounds, the assgoat once again begins to stand up - only to meet a facefull of fire. The smell of roasted meat fills the air.

Combat is over

The sound of Sigrun's hammer hitting the floor rings through the room as she drops it, spinning and dropping to her knees to cradle Lyosha's head in her lap. "Vennligst være i orden .... vær OK ... du kan ikke dø , jeg vil ikke la deg ."

Frantically she searches his body, drawing out a capped vial, she looks at it for a moment before tilting his head up and putting it to his lips.

Random bottle: 1d2 ⇒ 1
1-Cure Light
2-Cure Moderate
Potion of Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
REALLY?!?! *sigh* HP:-1

As the sounds of battle continue to fill the air

She's screaming because of you
They're both screaming because of you

Worthless wretch

As he's craddled, accompanied by foreign sounds

What beautiful music, wasted on you
She sung for you too

Treacherous flesh

As the healing liquid seeps through his body

They're bringing you back
To make you look at what you failed to protect

Worthless monster

Giving an involuntary gag his body jerks then stills, as cold as he ever was but not as cold as the grave. His breathing is fine, yet he doesn't awake.

Hobbes puts his bow away, drawing the wand. He then moves to Lyosha and whacks the barbarian with it.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

"Stop bein' lazy kid. Get up." Hobbes says hiding his concern.

HP:-7

Like striking a match the moment Hobbes hits Neverhome with the wand a deep inhalation escapes him as the rest of his body continues to knit itself together. Through bleary eyes adjusting to the land of the living once again he notices who is hovering over him. "Sigrun?.. What are you... Doing in land of Dead?"

"I'm not....you're alive....you're going to be ok." Sigrun says, a wave of relief snuffing out all remnants of her rage. Though his vision is blurred, Lyosha casn see the smile on her face as she cradles he head, her skin, though chill, warm compared to the icy ground.

To his recovering senses, there felt almost as if occasional drops of warmth fell against his face.

Seeing the many injuries, Vashti moves and channels.

Channel: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8 meh

Aaaaand...Hit me...Current HP 43, Max

HP: 15/54

Realizing he isn't among the dead calms his tense features somewhat, but feeling those little drops of warmth causes the serpent that was retreating deep back into his mind to start to uncoil again.

Can't you do anything other than make women cry
It's not too late to die

Sigrun
Why is she wasting her tears on you

Seeing her like like this made the serpent coil around his heart, tightening and crushing in it's grasp. Unsteadily he'll raise a hand to cup the side of her face. "Please don't do that... Save your tears for someone you care about, not some monster." he manages to croak out while the serpent tightened within him, it wasn't going away anytime soon.

The winter portal. How do we close it? asks Percy when she suddenly remembers why they're here.

The winter portal. How do we close it? asks Percy when she suddenly remembers why they're here.

I though we were here to kill baby murdering/soul stealing witch?

"Shut up." Sigrun says gently, helping Lyosha into a sitting position, supporting him.

"Thank you." he says as he fails to suppress a smirk at her dismissal. Simply sitting up and rolling his neck from side to side produces many a loud pop as the tighness leaves his freshly healed spine. His eyes almost done adjusting he looks about the room, first dropping to the witch, then the singer, then the... Goat?

Allie runs over to Vashti and gives her a big hug. "Would have sucked if you died. Who would have given me free muffins?!" She then looks at Sigrun and Neverhome and scowls. She stops over to them and kicks Neverhome in the shoulder. "If you EVER scare me like that again I will KILL YOU!" She hides her eyes and walks away.

"I told you Allie. You need to listen to me more...."
"Oh shut up...."

Allie goes to sit down next to Gruff. Petting him gently and crying silently into his soft coat. "I love you, Gruff...."

Q-20 and Q-21 were described before/during the Boss Battle

Q-22
A large bed, reading desk, padded chair, bookshelf, and storage chest furnish this long, angular room. Two windows provide ample light, and several paintings of winter scenes hang on the wall.

Q-23
A large bed, wardrobe, reading desk, and bookshelf take up most of this circular bedroom. A carved ice statue of a striking, robed woman with an owl on her shoulder stands next to an alcove of crystalline tiles. To the south, a white curtain hangs in a doorway. Behind the curtain is a locked door made of ice. (Disable Device DC 30 to unlock, or just smash it down. No hardness, 9 HP)

All loot is listed in Discussion, so don't worry about checking the storage chests and whatnot. The only unexplored location on this floor is behind the locked ice door.

Holographic Map + Closing the Winter Portal

All checks (including the ones in the second spoiler) can be atempted multiple times, but there's a 1hr delay between attempts.

Giving Allie a guarded look, Sigrun helps Lyosha up smiling. "Uhm I'm glad you're OK." she says bending down to pick up her hammer.

Giving Allie a lighthearted nod in agreement he can't help but return Sigrun's smile as he stands. "And I'm glad you're okay too... You are okay aren't you?"

after a quick glance about the room to make sure nothing else was about to pop out of nothingness the felinerai moved to the witch and cleaned his blades off on the fallen witches clothing before resheathing his sword.

Justice at least was done here for the little girl, but... didnt she get placed in that doll by a Lady Masilliovna? they women of this land dont grow hair on their faces do they?"
He asked poking the male witch with his naginata while the others collected themselves.

knowledge geography: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

The map completely bewildered him, it was normally something he studied and thought he was good at but these snow filled lands perhaps messed with his normally good since of direction. Instead of the map he looked at the ice sculpture of the striking woman... and drew his katana.. taking very careful aim at the statues head... striking at it.

coup de grai' the ice statue?

"I am now." she replies giving him a sidelong glance.

"That is good to know. I can't really protect people when I'm dead so I was worried you all would get hurt. I am glad to be wrong."

"So next time, don't get hurt. Like you said, you can;t protect me if your dead." Sigrun says, not looking at Lyosha, with a trace of a smile on her lips.

Stopping for only a moment to process what she just said Neverhome will nonetheless nod towards her. "You're right. I'll do my best to keep you safe. I promise."

Liar
Can you do nothing but tell lies

You will let her down
Pathetic liar

STFU Inner Lyosha!!!

Probably doesnt help matters any that I think he sounds just like Mike Patton's The Darkness.

I'm sorry, but when people say The Darkness, I immediately ask "do you believe in a thing called love?" Which is sort of appropriate at this point in time.

Get your hands off my women motherf@*&er!

Allie runs over to Vashti and gives her a big hug. "Would have sucked if you died. Who would have given me free muffins?!" She then looks at Sigrun and Neverhome and scowls. She stops over to them and kicks Neverhome in the shoulder. "If you EVER scare me like that again I will KILL YOU!" She hides her eyes and walks away.

"I told you Allie. You need to listen to me more...."
"Oh shut up...."

Allie goes to sit down next to Gruff. Petting him gently and crying silently into his soft coat. "I love you, Gruff...."

"Sorry little red. But we had to do it." Hobbes will attempt to console the weeping Allie, hopefully without being roasted. He pulls a strawberry muffin out of his pack and hands it to her.
