Rise of the Runelords Table 2 (Closed)

Game Master ElegantlyWasted

Praetor will move closer to the creatures.

Praetor Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Lackspell Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Sinspawn Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

So we're looking at;

Initiative
• Ren
• Arkon
• Praetor
• Lackspell
• Chrona
• Varak
• Sinspawn

Not great for the bad guys! Lackspell, you still have a surprise round action.

Hmmm... too far away for a bomb, bit of a shame that.

Lackspell will take the opportunity of the surprise round to discharge his crossbow at one of the monstrosities.

Shoot!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Light Xbow Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Success!

A hit and some definite damage! Take your actions, gang.

Ren has her daggers out And continues to hide waiting for the creatures to take Chrina's bait so she can fall in them from behind.

Ready action, attack from hidden and flanking if one moves to attack Chrona.

Arkon will move to the side to engage one on the flank so Orz can flank it.

"Orz get it from behind

Handle animal: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Orz runs around and attacks the sinspawn from behind

Orz Talon attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Orz Talon attack damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Arkon then attacks it from the front with flanking
He powers up his scimitar with elemental strike acid first

Scimitar+flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 2 = 20

Scimitar damage: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 = 10

Noticing that Ren is in a good position, Chrona holds her ground and chastises the sinspawn with the best odds of getting around Praetor.

"Hey! What's the matter with ya?! Too scared to fight a woman?! You should have seen all your brothers we killed, one by one just as they stepped out of that little cursed pool."

Intimidate (demoralize): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Varak as well would charge in with his team, looking to claw at one of these horrid creatures. He had no desire to taste their horrid flesh and blood once again.

Charge: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 151d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Varak, you and Arkon combine to bring one down. Chrona, your check is successful.

Praetor will wade forward and strike at one of them; Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 4) + 7 = 13

He gets in a good strike!

Waiting on Lackspell, then bad guys go.

Lackspell will lob in his final bomb for the day, picking a spot where he can get the largest concentration of them in the splash without endangering his companions.

Bombs Away!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 vs Touch
Assuming a hit ...

Burn!: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

So the one hit directly takes 8 and any caught in the blast take 6 points of damage with a Reflex Save (DC 15) for half damage.

And that's it - officially all out of bombs for the day. It's the crossbow for me from here on in. :)

14 hits!

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Reflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Reflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

They all FAIL their saves! Lackspell, you target the one assaulted by Praetor, and that one is incinerated. The rest are singed by the blast wave.

The one demoralized by Chrona attempts to attack Varak with two claws;

Claws: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Claws: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

But it is clearly shaken and misses both attacks.

The remaining one tries to bite Praetor;
Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

But misses badly!

Your turn, gang.

Ren, frustrated gives up waiting for them to come to her and tries to stay hidden as she moves up to get nearer the creatures so she can help her companions.

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

But she stumbles as she tries to move quietly. In frustration she throws her magic dagger from on the platform down at the one attacking Varsk.

Dagger - Range - shoot into melee: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 7 - 2 - 4 = 21
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 7 - 2 - 4 = 4

As Renbstepsnout, Chrona moves as well. She tries to corner one that looks defenseless and slashes at it.

Longsword, scorching: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 +2 if can flank
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 1 = 10

Arkon points to the closest sinspawn

Attack that one Orz!

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Orz moves up to the sinspawn and slashes it with a Talon

Talon Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Talon Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Arkon then moves up and attacks the same target after activating his elemental strike

Scimitar Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Scimitar+Acid Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 = 7

Having thrown his last bomb, Lackspell spends this round drawing out his light crossbow and loading it...

Praetor will lay into the one nearest to him;

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 4) + 7 = 12

Arkon, you, and Orz take down one, aided by Lackspell's previous bomb.

Chrona, you and Ren manage to take down the other, and Praetor's powerful strokes do for the final one.

Now that you're in the room and out of combat, you're able to look around. You're on the bottom floor of what was clearly at one time a prison. Any prisoners are long gone, however, and many of the bars have rusted; the room is in disrepair.

There is a door to the east.

Search the room before hiding and listening to the door to the east.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Chrona will scan the room in disgust, nudging over whatever debris with her toe and sword as she waits for Ren to give the lone remaining door an "all clear".

Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 12

waiting for Rens signal like Chrona

Varak would watch and wait for the sign to continue on. He'd glance around the prison cells, curious of such a room and its horrid state. Why were those two hiding in here? Could it have just been where the ugly creatures felt most at home or were they acting as sentrys. He'd cast another spell to detect magical aura's and giving the room a quick scan, just to be sure there wasn't any hidden items.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Proceeds to the next room
