Rise of the Runelords - GM Pablo (Inactive)

Game Master Stetrix

Cela Wildshapes and moves through the wall to the ceiling. She spends a round creating a 20' area of ceiling to tumble on the Ogres below.
Chance the entire ceiling collapses - bad for everyone...: 1d100 ⇒ 59

Rocks Fall Ogres Die!: 7d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 1, 1, 4, 6, 4) = 21

Ogre #7: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 save -10

The Ogres panic looking for an exit! The noise and dust are tremendous. The impacted area is difficult terrain and a cloud of dust provides cover to those inside

Anaba Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Buchart Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Cela Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Fernleaf Initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

I assume it would be wise to stay in place instead of going in to attack since it's all dusty. I will unsheath my sword and prepare to attack any ogres attempting to leave. Yes to lead blades from your earlier query.

I have an interview and will likely be away for the rest of today.

Letting Bucky, Anaba, and Fernleaf watch for Ogres coming out of the dust, while me (gun in hand and ready to fire) and Shalelu watch our backside in case anyone comes to see WTF is going on.

Good luck Brian...Sekkimm continues his summoning!

The Ogres head for the exits! Double moves.

Anaba sees one at the top of the stairs looking to plow through the party. Take your readied action.

How long will this take? There's a lamia downstairs that the buffs we're burning would have been good to have when we meet her. When the noise stops in here someone will take notice! If we're going to do this, let's do it! Oh! Well, okay! I'll just stand by the exit and hurl range spells and whack those that exit!

How long since the last buffs?

A little over 4 minutes since you first buffed up outside the cave.
Your in the fight now...

After attacking I am going to move forward!

Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 203d8 + 24 + 1d6 ⇒ (8, 4, 1) + 24 + (5) = 42
Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 223d8 + 24 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 3) + 24 + (5) = 38

Anaba's first attacks cuts the Ogre down and she steps up.

Fernleaf, Rolande and Buchart are up!!

Uggh messed up the AOE it was 20' but rooms are 10' squares. That was a 40' AOE

No worries...a bit more dropped than expected the first round!

Bombs Away!!

Bomb: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32 Bomb damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 4) + 1 = 10 Fire Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Bomb: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31 Bomb damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3) + 1 = 6 Fire Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Plus multiple splash damages. some of these will be hit twice.

Explosive Bomb
Benefit: The alchemist’s bombs now have a splash radius of 10 feet rather than 5 feet

Got the bombs - doesn't kill any of the ogres, but add damage all around!

Rolande

Target nearest ogre and if drops next one.
Pepperbox two-handed: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 321d8 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 9 + (2) = 19
Pepperbox two-handed: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 191d8 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 9 + (1) = 13
Pepperbox two-handed (rapidshot): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 161d8 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 9 + (4) = 14

Fireball in pink circle.

Fire in the hole!!!

Fireball: 7d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 3, 3, 4, 3, 6) = 29

The Fireball kills three (even if they save for 1/2)
Ogre f Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 fail
Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 fail
Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 pass

A little over 4 minutes since you first buffed up outside the cave.

Your in the fight now...

Since I wasn't able to monitor action for a bit I would like to take two more charges off the Enlarge wand for Anaba and Buchart and another Bull's Strength for Buchart just before we start the party we're attending right now! So, 3 of 7 min. left on Alter Self, 5 of 7 min.left on Shield, 2 Min. on Enlarge and 3 min. on Bull's Strength. Sekkim's wolf will be here soon!!!

What about my shots?

What about my shots?

I think he just pulled three ogres off the field and then did the Reflex saves for the remaining three due to the Fireball. He might be back on for a bit after his meeting.

Sorry thought that posted. Rolande kills two and wounds a third (two grit back)

WOOT!

Shalelu +1 Composite Longbow - Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 302d8 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (5, 7) + 4 + (4, 5) = 25 fires at a wounded ogre

Shalelu +1 Composite Longbow - Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 232d8 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 + (5, 1) = 14 Confirm crit and kills an ogre

Cela double moves preparing to drop more rock
The Ogre advances and attack Anaba

Ogre Hook: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 272d8 + 13 ⇒ (7, 7) + 13 = 27 hits

Anaba is up (two attacks)!!

attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 363d8 + 24 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 3) + 24 + (5) = 34
attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 313d8 + 24 + 1d6 ⇒ (3, 8, 1) + 24 + (1) = 37
confirm crit: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
confirm crit: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
crit damage: 3d8 + 3d8 ⇒ (1, 7, 6) + (4, 8, 2) = 28

Both crits confirm!!
(+17 and +11 to those rolls)
Crit Damage: 6d8 + 48 + 2d6 ⇒ (3, 7, 5, 7, 7, 6) + 48 + (3, 4) = 90

Anaba slices the ogre in two and he falls!!

The ogres run for the mines!!

Fernleaf and Rolande are up

I bet the mines are crawling with ogres!

If Fahari gets a chance he will attack..

Orgeopolis?

Can Cela collapse the escape routes so they can't come in behind us? I think we should get moving and find the commander. Let's put Jaagrath/Bucky up front and head into the next area east as Fernleaf suggested, with the cave-in our stealth may be compromised.

Yes - she moves over to the tunnel entrances and in about 1 minute the tunnels are sealed If they are able to dig out it will take hours.
5 minutes and 5 rounds since first buffs (Sekkimm has 5 minutes left on his casting time)

Anaba's Lead Blades and Cela's Bless are finished.

Active Buffs:
Anaba: Enlarge: .5 min
Buchart: 1.5 on Alter Self, 1 min on Shield, .5 min on Enlarge and 1.5 min. on Bull's Strength.
Cela: Fahari & Anaba Stoneskin (removing 10 points of damage from Anaba), Fahari 2 min on Acid Maw
Fernleaf: Mutagen
Rolande: Weapons silenced almost 1 hour left
Sekkimm: Mage Armor - hours

Am I missing anything?
Actions?

Let's go. I will remain in elemental form until circumstances say it's a bad idea

Anaba heals herself with her wand while Cela collapses the tunnels. Everyone is at Full hitpoints.
How do you want to proceed?

Follow Fernleaf's original call and head east. Fernleaf skulk until he needs inviso, Jaagrath/Bucky up front. Lets hurry as his spell is about to wear off.

Fernleaf sneaks down the stairs.
Sneak: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22

The chamber is divided with a iron cell on the far side of the room. The bars run floor to ceiling, but there is a door in the center. Three emaciated human males are inside the cell; two bloody Rangers and a beaten Commander Latamier. A small fire burns in the corner of the room outside of the prison.

Should have about 4 min. on shield, cast at 7th L from memory. Full duration of Enlarge is 2 min. from my wand. Bull's Strength is 3 min. from wand.

Well, let's kill whomever is in the next room. Our actual mission is right in front of us. I think we all want to dust the lamia, but we're already pushing our luck!

OK:

I will first cast Shock Shield on myself

Then remove a water skin from my Bag and open it

Gaseous Form potion at hand in bandoleer

Swords are poisoned

Targeted Bomb Admixture is also ready to cast when needed

A bag of flour is loose and handy to Throw Anything

Then, a sip of Invisibility

I will sneak up invisibly to the fire and pour the contents of the water skin onto in. Attempting to completely extinguish the flame.

Stealth: 1d20 + 16 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 16 + 20 = 54 quietly quietly

Be vewy, vewy qwiet, hu,hu,hu.

Fernleaf moves invisibly and quietly to the fire. The prisoners do not seem to notice and the stand quietly.

GM Stuff: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 2 + 4 = 17

Fernleaf pours the water out onto the fire and it quenches the fire in a steamy.

"Hey who's there?"

5/10 sips used now

Does the Who's there come from the prisoners? Or the fire?

What does Cela see/do?

From the prisoners

Aren't you a little short for an ogre?

well hes invisible ATM, but hes too short for a storm trooper as well...but he is Yoda sized!

Shhhh!!! Your life depends on your silence. We are here to help. I whisper super quietly,

Commander Latamier, come close to the bars and WHIIISSSPERRR and describe what you know of the area here, especially to the south? Use your head, man. Tell us what you think might be relevant to successful rescue.

Since it is dark and I am super stealthy, I will use Stealth when next required to remain unseen(for now), to save sips.

The Commander moves closer toward the bars. Fernleaf moves over "Their leader is to the West somewhere. Barl Breakbones a Stone Giant usurper has taken over the Kreegs. Release us."

The prisoners gather near the door.

Fernleaf make a will save please...

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Unless it is Fear, then +2 more

use Kassen’s 2nd Boon (add 1d6 to your roll) or go for it?

no thank you. Boon will not help. Bring on the horror.

Sorry first save was a Fortitude save (=3+8 =11) ...still won't make a difference using the Boon (DC18)

Fernleaf feels his entire body (and all his equipment) quiver and he starts transforming...
getting smaller...
his skin starts getting scaly...
getting smaller...
his neck starts growing longer and he grows a beak...
getting smaller...
his back turns into a shell and he is on the ground on all fours, now a small (pretty helpless) turtle.

KN Spellcraft to determine what spell affected you (Fernleaf only, no one else sees this happen)

Welcome to Terrapin Station...
Now make a Will Save (DC18)

That's it for the Other One...

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

I will use Kassen's Boon to increase my save by +6.
