Rise of the Runelords - GM Pablo (Inactive)

Game Master Stetrix

Yes, but doesn't a rogue have a better chance of knocking someone out with a Sap? Anyhoo, we are mired in non-response from players, (I know you are overseas) but this is getting boring.

This type of game takes patience.

There is a sap master, rogue subclass that may have additional feats. Poisoned swords would be more effective

Fernleaf moves in with poisoned swords to flank (No drawn weapon so no AOO).
Fernleaf +1 Mithril Shortsword with poison: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 = 271d4 + 2 + 2d8 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (7, 5) = 18
Fernleaf Masterwork Shortsword with poison): 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 2 = 221d4 + 1 + 2d8 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (1, 7) = 11

Confirm critical Fernleaf +1 Mithril Shortsword with poison: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 = 81d4 + 2 + 2d8 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (2, 3) = 9

Shalelu +1 Composite Longbow - Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 162d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 6) + 4 = 11

Jakardros +1 Composite Longbow - Rapid Shot +1 Shock Composite Long Bow : 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 212d8 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) + 2 + (1, 1) = 13

The Redhead 5' steps into the corner away from everyone except Fernleaf. "I see you don't want to chat. Well Kaven I see you back there. My thanks we would never have captured the fort without you." She quickly transforms into a Lamia as casts a spell. Sekkimm roll to dispel.

Fernleaf AOO +1 Mithril Shortsword with poison: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 181d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Jakardros hit with 21 flatfooted adding that damage.

Poison save @-2: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 2 = 23 saved

Red Head -48 -19 non lethal

To heck with the non-lethal damage. I'm hitting to kill now!

caster level check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

This type of game takes patience.

I have patience as we have been playing this for awhile, but the past couple of weeks have been real slow and participation by the whole group has been low.

I guess with Brent and C getting ready to move, Paul traveling and various other things, it's slowed down quite a bit.

sorry guys my travel to Asia 12 hour time difference and Ireland and my home pc broken from lightning hasn't helped. should be back to normal next week. also B &C will finish moving

The Lamia casts her spell and Sekkimm is prepared to dispel it - He casts
just as she tries to Dimension Door Dispel = DC 11 + CL8 = 19 (success).
She curses under and shouts "Help me Kaven!"

Kaven commands Lumpy Lumpy, Attack the lizards and don't take commands from anyone else!"
He then stabs at Sekkimm with his blades.

rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 251d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 critical threat!
rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 171d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 Does a 17 hit Sekkimm?

dagger: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 131d4 ⇒ 2

Vale moves to attack Kaven. "Kaven you traitorous bastard! I'll have your head!
axe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 291d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 crit threat!
axe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 241d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 confirms!

To Lumpy, indicating Anaba, Rolande, Cela, Fernleaf, and Buchart:

"Lumpy, follow this command until I say otherwise: if any of these people give you an order, follow it."

Lumpy can't follow Kaven's commands

Yes, my trust didn't extend quite *that* far... Sekkim seems like an exceedingly poor judge of who to trust. He was sure throughout the whole island module that the crazy fellow was going to turn on the party... then assuming Kaven "just got a tattoo".

He then stabs at Sekkimm with his blades.

[dice=rapier]1d20+7; 1d6+1 critical threat!
[dice=rapier]1d20+7; 1d6+1 Does a 17 hit Sekkimm?

The pdf of my spreadsheet I have access to is 3 months old, but it says AC 13 and I can't think of anything that's happened that would increase my AC by 5. It might have gone up one from buff shuffling, but even if I had mage armor and an extra point from dex that would only be 17. And my spell list shows mage armor as uncast. Best to assume that 17 does hit. Solidly.

Sekkim needs to order Lumpy to kill Kaven.

Sekkim needs to order Lumpy to kill Kaven.

that is also a thing you can do. sekkim is probably overly worried about all of the exciting internal bleeding kaven has given him as a present.

Spell combat, wand of vampiric touch and sword. As a swift action will spend one pool point to enhance my sword +2.

wand touch: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 - 2 = 92d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6
Longsword: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 13 - 2 = 141d8 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Whiff and a whiff! Oh, boy! Well, at least I have a vamiric touch going until I hit someone!

I am certain that Cela will be on her way to heal.

Lumpy stands there like a Lump, not listening to Kaven...

Anaba is up!

Step 5' and fire on the Llama.
Pepperbox two-handed with grit: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 311d8 + 7 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 7 + (5, 1) = 15
Confirm crit: 1d20 ⇒ 18 damage: 3d8 ⇒ (3, 2, 4) = 9
Pepperbox two-handed (rapidshot): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 101d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

FYI - The lamia is large her serpentine lowerhalf forces Fernleaf back 5'. Her upper torso still looks like the aristocratic red-head.

Anaba is up!

EVIL WENCH! Pray to your Gods because you are headed there now to meet them!

I attack the lamia with my flaming sword. It's been a while since I have had to calculate my attack. I think I have the flaming sword, plus bull's strength plus bless right?

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 283d8 + 22 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 4) + 22 + (1) = 32

Looks like Fernleaf, Cela, and Fahari are up.

Anaba you get two attacks

Rolande hits with the first attack crit confirms for 45!

Sekkimm -14
Lamia -112 -19 non-lethal
Kaven -15

Poison swords it is...

+1 Mithril Shortsword with poison: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 14 Short sword damage: 1d4 + 1 + 2d8 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (1, 1) = 4
Short Sword Off Hand: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 2 = 24 Short sword damage: 1d4 + 1 + 2d8 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (8, 8) = 21

Fernleaf's swords can't get through. Misses.

Fahari Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 61d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Fahari Claw #1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 101d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Fahari Claw #2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 161d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Jakardros +1 Composite Longbow - Rapid Shot +1 Shock Composite Long Bow : 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 212d8 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) + 2 + (5, 5) = 19
Jakardros +1 Composite Longbow - 2nd shot +1 Shock Composite Long Bow : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 151d8 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 1 + (6) = 15

Shalelu +1 Composite Longbow - Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 202d8 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 = 8

All attacks miss

Anaba has one more shot.

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 213d8 + 22 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3) + 22 + (3) = 32

Sekkim:

Falchion (+3 BAB, +2 str, +1 mwk, +2 flanking): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Falchion Damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1) + 3 = 6

"Lumpy, murder Kaven."

Lumpy:

moves and then:

greatclub (+8 base, +2 flanking, -4 squeezing): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
greatclub Damage: 3d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 1, 6) + 8 = 17

Helper, murder Hitler...

Anaba misses, but Sekkimm and Lumpy hit Kaven -38

"Any last words, Kaven? Want to tell us about the series of mistakes that lead to your death? Any goodbyes to pass on?"

Back in the good old US of A. In Atlanta last flight. Been two days of travel to get this far. Had a disastrous 16 hour layover in Incheon Korea. I can say if you get stuck at an airport it has showers, a sleeping area with actual reclining couches and a Hello Kitty Cafe.

That... sounds like a lot. How long was it supposed to take?

Normally 3 or 4 hours. So a bit of a cluster

Glad you are back safe, despite the snafus.

Firing on the Llama again!
Pepperbox two-handed with grit: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 291d8 + 7 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 7 + (4, 6) = 22
Pepperbox two-handed with grit (rapidshot): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 221d8 + 7 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 7 + (6, 5) = 21

The Lamia casts defensively(DC 15 + double the level of the spell you're casting which avoids the AOO) and tries to dimension door out once more.
"Kaven, my darling, hurry up and kill someone already."

Cast Defensively DC = 15+8=23: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23
She succeeds and disappears from view.

"Lucrecia - My love!"
Kaven sees her disappear and tries to get away through the cave.
Acrobatics DC: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
Lumpy CMD 18 (DC =23 to move through square) Lumpy gets an AOO
Vale CMD 20 (DC = 25 to move through square) Vale gets an AOO
Sekkimm what is your CMD?

Vale Mwk Battle Axe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 131d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 miss
Lumpy Mwk Melee greataxe: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 143d6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 2, 4) + 8 = 15 miss

Kaven's progress is blocked (he will attack if still alive after AOOs)

Sekkimm what is your CMD?

18

Welcome back Paul!

Casting detect magic and quickly search the room for anything that might help us.

We'll need to be quick! She might not have gone far!

Kaven is able to avoid Sekkimm's AOO, but is trapped between him and Vale. He attacks Sekkimm.
rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 211d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
dagger: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 181d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Both hit for 8 points
Sekkimm -22
Vale focuses on Kaven. "You will pay the price for your treachery Kaven. I will take your head."
axe: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 2 = 211d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 hit
axe: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 2 = 311d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 crit threat
axe crit?: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 131d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 Does not confirm
Kaven -38 -13=51 he falls unconscious bleeding.

Buchart scans the room, but does not see the Lamia. Out of combat for the moment it seems. Actions?

Let's secure the other secret door in case Kaven let them know about the passages. We also need to release any prisoners that might be in the dungeon. Perhaps Fernleaf should check the room first, though. There might be something in there we don't want to let loose!

"Well, they do. We just came out of one, and they witnessed us doing such. Plus, if they compromised Kaven, didn't he know of them?

As for Kaven... I think that's Vale's call, being the superior officer of Kaven, but if our leader has something to say... did we ever decide who that is?"

I thought we were an autonomous collective...
Someone check the holding cells! Fernleaf do you have enough explosives to blow the stairwell?

You search the room and cells and find nothing of value besides 6 bottles of wine worth 50gp and a bottle of brandy which is 2/3 full. The jail cells are all empty, but show signs of recent use.

Fernleaf's bombs are not powerful enough to damage the stone. Also that is your only way in the keep besides going over the walls or perhaps through the sewer.

As you complete your search Cela heals Sekkimm injured and stabilizes Kaven at -6 hitpoints.

CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Sekkimm -1
Kaven @-6

Lamia -112 -19 non-lethal (not in area)

You start hearing some noise of heavy feet on stairs.

Should we go ahead and kill the traitor?

Jakardros says "leave him for now. He will receive the Black Arrow justice once we deal with these ogres. Prepare for combat. They are coming.". He backs away from the door bow ready with Shealeu. Vale secures the lock on the door takes a position near the closed door. "Prepare your defenses they are coming and I expect a battle here!"
