Samnell's Against the Necromancers (Inactive)

Game Master Samnell

Damn, too far to do much back here.

Aldon moves forward with his companions ready to face this new foe.

Double Move Forward.

Ranek, given the distance did you want to declare differently? Doesn't look like you can cast and reach Gobbo in the same round.

Nah. I can hold the charge for shocking grasp, and I can charge next round and reach him.

Sorry to keep you waiting again.

Goblin ACs: 24, T12, F23

Round 2
Muttering words of power, Bolkvar strode forth. The image of the dragon was unsettling. And this goblin could not be underestimated.

Ranek knew this creature would require all their efforts. His sword glowed as he charged it with arcane energy, and he cast a spell, causing electricity to crackle along its length before moving forward.

Both swords held in front of him, Barra's long limbs quickly outpace his stunty companions as he runs forwards as well.

Thurvek rushes toward the blue goblin, attempting to postion himself for a better attack point.

Damn, too far to do much back here. Aldon moves forward with his companions ready to face this new foe.

The blue goblin sneered at the approaching adventurers and the crystals embedded in his skull glowed. A strange aura of topaz light shot through with some kind of black grit rising from the urn engulfed him.

"We will kill you all!" he said, his voice somehow far deeper than any goblin's had a right to be.

Order is Bolkvar, Ranek, Barra, Thurvek, Aldon, Goblin, Marcus. The Party is up!

Now he was close enough to strike. Ranek rushed forward, sword leveled, and struck at the goblin, delivering his shocking grasp.

Attack, spellstrike, charge, arcane accuracy: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 2 + 4 = 20
Damage, shocking grasp, intense spells: 1d8 + 5 + 4d6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + (1, 6, 6, 3) + 2 = 31

Increase the attack roll by 3 if he his wearing metal armor. AC is 23 from buffs and charging.

Marcus's eyes narrowed as he regarded the goblin. Low and dangerous he replied, "Will you now? Lets see what Lord Torm has to say about that!"

Swift action: SMITE on the goblin 2/2 used.

Steadily Marcus advanced, sword at the ready.

Aldon begins to call out tactics to approach this foe with a coordinated effort!

Advice - Inspire Courage +1 saves vs. Charm and Fear and +1 to Attack and Damage.

Trusting that the best thing to do against a spellcaster - not that he'd ever had cause to fight many, but the tales were pretty clear on this point - was to push them as hard as possible, Barra charged forwards alongside Ranek and drove a sword at the goblin's gut.

Am I in range to charge? Assuming not. Can’t get roll20 to work.

Bolkvar ran as fast as he could, moving to get into a flanking position.

Thurvek continues his charge against the weird blue goblin. Double move. Darn these short legs!

Round 3
Marcus's eyes narrowed as he regarded the goblin. Low and dangerous he replied, "Will you now? Lets see what Lord Torm has to say about that!"

Bolkvar ran as fast as he could, moving to get into a flanking position. He reached around and got himself behind the goblin, almost climbing into the mummified dragon's jaws to get there.

Now he was close enough to strike. Ranek rushed forward, sword leveled, and struck at the goblin, delivering his shocking grasp. Alas, the blade stopped short of the goblin and glanced off a twist in the air just short of his skin. For a brief instant a translucent field of topaz scales surrounded his small form.

Trusting that the best thing to do against a spellcaster - not that he'd ever had cause to fight many, but the tales were pretty clear on this point - was to push them as hard as possible, Barra charged forwards alongside Ranek and drove a sword at the goblin's gut. The scales flared to life once more, blocking the blow.

Thurvek continues his charge against the weird blue goblin, closing the distance still further.

Aldon begins to call out tactics to approach this foe with a coordinated effort! As he spoke, the goblin laughed, "You have the honor of being slain by Thimdrul!" The goblin's brow furrowed and the crystals embedded in his skull began to glow, then Bolkvar jabbed at him and the crystals winked out just as suddenly as the goblin dodged the strike.

Order is Bolkvar, Ranek, Barra, Thurvek, Aldon, Goblin, Marcus. The Party is up!

Ranek narrowed his eyes. The goblin had some sort of protective...manifestation that was making him difficult to hit. This would be tricky. Still, the charge was not delivered, and he could still strike.

Stepping down to the side, to leave room for Marcus and Thurvek, he hoped Barra would follow to provide a flank and attacked again.

Attack, spellstrike, inspire courage: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 1 = 12

But he missed quite badly.

Now spending 1 arcane point to add flaming to fists

Hit: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
Damage: fists/fire/sneak attack: 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + (3) + (1) + 7 = 14

Flurry Hit: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Damage: fists/fire/sneak attack: 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + (3) + (1) + 7 = 15

Ki Hit: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
Damage: fists/fire/sneak attack: 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + (5) + (4) + 7 = 21

Now behind the goblin, Bolkvar muttered words of power. His hands burst into flames as he unleashed his full fury on the goblin. It had felt like an eternity of crawling through the dark, jumping at shadows and chasing phantoms. And now? Now there was a foe to face. He wasn't going to let the creature sip away.

Barra drives swords at the goblin from either side, letting out a wordless cry that's as much exaltation as it is frustration as he does so.

Using Encouraging Roar, everyone gets a +2 morale bonus to attack and damage.

"By Clanggedin's beard, save me a piece of him!!" Thurvek bellows as he continues his advance toward the blue goblin. Double move, will be able to attack next round, assuming there will be another round.

Aldon charges around the back of the Goblin, seeking to set himself up for a strike.

Marcus approached the goblin they had surrounded. Holding his sword high in a two handed grip, he let it fall with grim precision like an axe, to deliver Torm's judgement!

Power attack, smite & flank: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 9 - 2 + 3 + 2 = 25Damage: 2d6 + 7 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 6) + 7 + 6 + 4 = 27

Round 4
Now behind the goblin, Bolkvar muttered words of power. His hands burst into flames as he unleashed his full fury on the goblin. It had felt like an eternity of crawling through the dark, jumping at shadows and chasing phantoms. And now? Now there was a foe to face. He wasn't going to let the creature sip away. His fists and feet pounded the goblin mercilessly, to the point that it ought to have died thrice over. He felt bones crack and saw the involuntary flinching and twitching where he struck nerves. But the goblin would not quite die.

Ranek narrowed his eyes. The goblin had some sort of protective...manifestation that was making him difficult to hit. This would be tricky. Still, the charge was not delivered, and he could still strike. Stepping down to the side, to leave room for Marcus and Thurvek, he hoped Barra would follow to provide a flank and attacked again.

Barra drives swords at the goblin from either side, letting out a wordless cry that's as much exaltation as it is frustration as he does so. Neither found a home in the creature's flesh.

"By Clanggedin's beard, save me a piece of him!!" Thurvek bellows as he continues his advance toward the blue goblin.

Aldon charges around the back of the Goblin, seeking to set himself up for a strike. He swung a fist, but could not quite connect. I think I forgot to move him last round, so I put him up into melee this time.

The goblin slipped out from the midst of the company and screwed up his face in concentration once more, only to lose the expression as he leaped to one side to miss Thurvek's incoming fist.

Order is Bolkvar, Ranek, Barra, Thurvek, Aldon, Goblin, Marcus. The Party is up!

Aldon presses on the foe with fist though somewhat diminished, his Psionic Focus expended a moment before to try and bring this dangerous foe down!

Slam & Ki for Extra Damage 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 31 - Critical? 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 12

Fist Damage 1d8 + 1 - 1 + 1 + 2 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 - 1 + 1 + 2 + (1) + (6) = 13

Damn, forgot to add the Psionic Fist Damage last round!

Ranek moved around the group to get back into range, flanking with Bolkvar, then struck at the goblin with his sword again.

Attack, inspire courage, flank: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 + 2 = 29
Damage, inspire courage, spellstrike, intense spells: 1d8 + 5 + 1 + 4d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 + (4, 3, 1, 5) + 2 = 25

Can't see map, assume I'm still flanking the goblin

Hi: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
Damage: fists/fire/sneak attack: 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + (3) + (2) + 7 = 17

Flurry Hi: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Damage: fists/fire/sneak attack: 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + (4) + (2) + 7 = 18

Bolkvar grinned. Here was an enemy he could fight! An enemy within range of his fists. He continued to pummel the goblin. A strongly and burly dwarf, even by the standards of his own people, he attacked with flame infused fists. Few goblins could stand against the flurry of blows he unleashed. He just had to make sure that they connected.

Yep. I'm providing the flank for you.

Tempo: 8

Stepping around the dwarf, Barra lunges at the goblin's face again.

Thurvek swing his battleaxe in a downward swing against the blue goblin.
MW Battleaxe: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Confirming: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 It's a hit, at least.
Dmg.: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Skipped Marcus's action. He has enough damage to put the goblin down, so...

Marcus approached the goblin they had surrounded. Holding his sword high in a two handed grip, he let it fall with grim precision like an axe, to deliver Torm's judgement! His blow fell, taking the goblin with it. The crystals embedded in its oversized skull shattered and their inner light winked out as it died.

Thurvek gives the paladin such a stinkeye as Marcus fells the blue goblin.
What did I just say?!!!

Electricity still crackling along his sword from the spell, Ranek shook his head and dismissed it. "Well, my contributions to that fight were both negligible and irrelevant. Let's see, I think we have our lost urn."

Before picking it up, Ranek casts detect magic and concentrates on the urn, making sure there are no lingering spell effects on it.

Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Marcus's eyes narrow as he stared at the corpse. There was no guarantee that was the end of it, there had been three voices in their mind and more than one source of Evil. Marcus once more let his senses open and peered about to see if the situation had improved.

He's using detect evil once more.

Aldon will Detect Psionics on the urn.

"That... did not sound like a goblin." Barra said, lowering his swords. "Any thoughts on those crystals?"

K Nature: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

K Arcana: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

K Religion with book: 1d20 + 2 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 11 = 15

K Planes: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

K Local: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Bolkvar knelt next to the goblin and examined the crystals.

Aldon will also Detect Psionics on the crystals.
