SHATTERED STAR CAMPAIGN - GAMEPLAY (Inactive)

Game Master Daniel Penfold 351

"That spell is QUITE effective, my friend," Memnosyne says to Devlin. "Let's try down here," she says, pointing to the northern passage (D6).

"Memhas the right of it Dev!", adds Oster as he cleans his rapier.

D6 is fine by me!

"It does as expected. I kinda wish it had a bit more power behind it but I am sure there are more things out there they will let us handle the larger threats to come."

An overwhelming reptilian stench mixes with the foul putrescence of rotting flesh in this cave. Between two rocky outcroppings, both smeared with blood, are the remains of a foul ritual-heaps of decaying limbs, bones and viscera. A symbol depicting a spiralling crawled tentacle has been crudely carved into the rock on the right. In this cavern are 2 troglodytes, an enormous alligator and another troglodyte who appears to be dressed as a cleric

Memnosyne whispers to Oster, "Go for the priest!"
kn:religion check to tell what deity?
kn:rel: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 ha! clearly too overcome with the stench to think clearly

Oster goes for the priest, having sneaked ahead.

Stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Charge priest: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 2 = 21

Sneak attack damage: 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 3, 6) + 5 = 19

Oster manages to sneak across and deals the cleric a mighty blow.

Cleric initiative: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (18) + 0 = 18

Alligator initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Troglodyte initiative: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

Oster initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Memnosyne initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Devlin initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Xango initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Ok so initiative order is:

Block 1: Cleric

Block 2: Devlin

Block 3: Alligator

Block 4: Oster, Memnosyne and Xango

Block 5: Troglodytes

The cleric attacks Oster with his mace

Mace: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

On to block 2

Devlin, your action

Devlin fires his crossbow at the alligator

light crossbow: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1

damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

The alligator turns and attacks Oster

Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

[ooc]On to block 4[ooc]

Oster steps out from between the priest and reptile so thry don't flank him and stabs at the former once again.

With bewildered condition, the priest is still at -2 AC for this turn and another -2 AC versus Oster.

+1 rapier: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Crit?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Damage: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (4, 6) + 10 = 20

Memnosyne moves forward and flicks out a dagger at one of the trogs.
dagger: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
It sails past him without finding a target.

Oster's rapier pierces deep into the heart of the cleric and bursts out the other side. There is enough time for a surprised look to cross his face before he slumps down dead. Seeing the cleric fall the troglodytes try to flee, shrieking

You can have attacks of opportunity if you want.

Devlin levels his crossbow and fires a shot at the fleeing troglodytes.
Ranged Attack: Repeating Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (2) + 0 = 2
Damage: Piercing: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Oster does not hesitate - he stabs at the foremost fleeing trog.

Rapier: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Both Oster and Devlin, miss the troglodyte

Anyone else?

Memnosyne tries to stab a trog as it runs by
dagger: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
but is too surprised by his movement to get him.

Xango, are you taking an attack of oportunity?

Swinging his earthbreaker Xango tries to use the opportunity the trog gave him.
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 222d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 2) + 8 = 13

[I]With a mighty blow, Xango drops one of the troglodytes. The other two flee back the way you have come.

leather armour
+1 heavy mace
5 javelins

Unholy symbol
Stack of pearls worth 100gp

Oster smiles.

"A solid haul! Let's press on though, we have a job after all."

He gets ready to scout ahead.

Stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

A crude fence of tree branches lashed together by lengths of sinew blocks the entrance to this cavern. Beyond the fence, the chamber is filled with all manner of strangely coloured fungal growths

"Anyone good at identifying 'shrooms?" Mem asks. "Some of those things can be downright deadly."

Knowledge nature needed to tell anything about them

"They are just mushrooms. Do we really need to know what kind they are." Devlin gives a wry smile as he takes a gander at the multihued shrooms.

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

They are violet funguses. They attack with tentacles and have reach

you were saying... :)

:p

"Okay, we are going to have deal with these shrooms before they decide we're food."

So initiative order is:

Block 1: You guys

Block 2: Fungi

Devlin initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Xango initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Memnosyne initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Oster initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

fungus initiative: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

Xango charges the first Fungus.
Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 232d6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 3) + 8 = 12

"Xango, why not just let us do this from a distance?" Memnosyne groans as he rushes in. With a sigh, she holds her Pharasmin symbol aloft and murmurs a prayer. Her spiritual dagger pops into existence and streaks off toward the nearest fungus.
force dagger: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
crit?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Xango charges forward, dealing one of the fungi a mighty blow. Memnosyne's spiritual dagger then flies through the air and also strikes the fungus.

Anyone else?

Stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

From seemingly nowhere, a sling shot soars towards the wounded fungus.

Sneak Attack, Sling: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Damage: 1d4 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + (1, 5) = 10

Devlin grumbles something out as he unleashes a fan of fire into the shrooms.

Burning Hands (15 ft. cone, fire damage): 4d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 3) = 12 (DC 18 reflex save for half damage. Each shroom that fails its saving throw is also dazzled for 1 round.)

With Oster's sling bullet the fungus falls.

Reflex save: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (13) + 0 = 13

The second fungus is horribly burned by Devlin's spell but it is still there. It then moves up to Xango and attacks

Tentacle: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Back to you guys

force dagger: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Memnosyne directs her force weapon at the next fungus, but it misses the target.

Oster fires another bullet at another fungus.

Sling: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Oster's sling bullet arcs across and hits the fungus straight in its abdomen.

Anyone else?

Devlin hurls two missiles of pure force against the remaining shroom. Fall down please.

Magic Missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 2 = 8

Beams of forces strike the mushroom. It is still there but only just

Xango, what are you doing?

Xango moves up to the next shroom and attacks again.
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 132d6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 4) + 8 = 18

The mushroom manages to avoid Xango's attack. In retaliation it hits him in return.

Tentacle: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Tentacle: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Tentacle: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Tentacle: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Back to you guys

Can you make me a Fort 15 save please Xango

force dagger: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Again the dagger lashes out at the creature.

"Dangit!" Devlin thrusts his hand towards the mushroom and a rain of tiny meteorites fall from the sky unto the shroom.

Minute Meteors (fire damage): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 (DC 17 Reflex Save to negate the damage.)

Reflex save: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (3) + 0 = 3

With Memnosyne's dagger and Devlin's meteors the final fungus falls.

There is no loot. The tunnel behind leads back outside
