Save The City! (Inactive)

Game Master D-Kal

That won't enable him to speak, but it will let him understand spoken words.

Okay. I don't understand the explanation under that language, then, but whatever. I ranked Linguistics to be able to do that, can I readjust that skill point if I put it in something I haven't used yet, nominally K (Dungeoneering)?

Patricie suddenly remembers that Trilby doesn't speak Sylvan, and therefore keeps him from going in there. "I'm ready." Her reply to the "jump 'em" suggestion was reluctant but affirmative. She readies her crossbow and delays casting Virtue on Trilby until the first sign of hostility.

The druid sneaks forward toward the beasts. Patry will stop as short as she can and still hit something with her crossbow. She commands Trilby to hang back until the first sign of aggression.

Stealth: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Sure, you can swap them out.

Fethryth nods at Garroth's suggestion. Knowing that her stealth skills are lacking she hangs back and waits for the party to ready themselves.

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Drawing a javelin, Garroth moved forward, trying his best to stay hidden. Once staying undetected seemed unlikely, he hurled the weapon at the nearest Bugbear.

Stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Javelin Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Probably minus a few range increments I guess

Melaphi lashes a life link to Fethryth, a thin, nearly invisible, golden thread stretching between them. He then readies his shield.

So all but Patry and Tribly are life linked at present.

Initiative:
Feth
Patry
Bugbears
Payet
Garroth
Melaphi

Feth and Patry up!

Notes: I lump animal companions with their masters in initiative. Two bugbears are 60ft away, another two are 80ft away. Garroth's stealth failed, so his action won't happen until his turn.

Fethryth casts Magic Missile. She directs both missiles at one of the bugbears closest to her.

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Both? That looks like one.

Bugbear 1 - 80ft
Bugbear 2 - 60ft: 2 damage
Bugbear 3 - 60ft
Bugbear 4 - 80ft

Patry looses her bolt at the nearest goblinoid. And sicks Tribly on it. Trilby charges 80 ft at the creature and bites at it something fierce.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 Miss?
Bite, Charge: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

MM 2: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Feth fires some missiles at a bugbear while Patry fires a bolt, but misses. Trilby rushes in to savagely bite the unfortunate bugbear, but only manages to clamp down on armor.

The bugbears rush forward, two of them attacking with morningstars and the further two throwing javelins.

Morningstar vs Feth(charge): 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 2 = 25, Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Morningstar vs Trilby: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18, Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Javelin vs Garroth: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 - 2 = 8, Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Javelin vs Melaphi: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 3 - 2 = 15, Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Bugbear 1 - 50ft
Bugbear 2 - 60ft: 7 damage, in melee with bear
Bugbear 3 - 0ft: in melee with Feth
Bugbear 4 - 50ft

Party up!

Patricie moves 20ft toward the closer bugbears to get w/in 30ft of them and speaks druidic toward them. A burst of light explodes from among them.

Trilby, un-phased by the attack, continues to cut into his target.

Bite, Claw, Claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 121d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 261d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 Second claw misses
Damage (Bite, Claw): 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 71d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Crit Confirm (Claw): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 Crit Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

As the life flows from Melaphi to Feth he gestures at the bugbear threatening her. Its morning star begins to glow a red hot in color.
Cast burning disarm reflex save DC 15 to drop it or take 3d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 3) = 10 damage.

He then moves to protect the arcane caster with his shield at the ready.

life link heals Feth 5hp, damages Melaphi for 5hp. Will use Saving Shield on the first attack each round against Feth to give her a +2 to AC against that attack.

Fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Patry - 20ft
Bugbear 1 - 50ft
Bugbear 2 - 60ft: 15 damage, in melee with bear
Bugbear 3 - 0ft: in melee with Feth, -2 AC, unarmed
Bugbear 4 - 50ft: dazzled

Patry dazzles a bugbear while Trilby tears another apart. Remarkably it still stands. Melaphi conjures magical heat to force another into dropping its weapon.

Whoops sorry about that, I forgot to roll twice

Fethryth yelps when the bugbear hits her. Gathering herself together, she casts Mage Armor on herself. She then draws her club.

Between Mage Armor and Saving Shield her AC jumps to 18

Garroth throws a javelin, but misses.

Payet up!

"I trust you can hold that one for a bit?" Garroth called to Melaphi, before throwing himself into combat with the rest, sword flashing.

Temple Sword Power Attack Charge: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 2 - 1 = 13 Freekin dice

Garroth charges the nearest one apart from the one near Mel and Feth, or walks up to it and swings if its too close for a charge or charge is blocked. AC 16 if charge.

Melaphi calls back, "Of course. I'm only sorry I don't speak their language just so I can taunt them."

sorry for holding everybody up, I thought I hit submit gah,
When his comrads begin their attacks a loud, fast paced, rythmic strumming could be heard from behind where the party had been hiding before a faintly glowing assimar steps from behind it into full view of the enemy as he plays his instrument.
im starting my performance, everybody enjoy the +1 to hit and damage

A bugbear with a poor javelin arm decides to charge Garroth.
Charge: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 = 11, Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

A nearly dead bugbear takes a desperate swing at Trilby.
Morningstar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7, Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

An unarmed and irritated bugbear takes a step back from Feth and draws a javelin, throwing it at Melaphi.
Javelin: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19, Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

A dazzled bugbear nonetheless attempts to charge Patry.
Charge: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 11, Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Patry - 20ft
Bugbear 1 - 0ft: in melee with Garroth
Bugbear 2 - 60ft: 15 damage, in melee with bear
Bugbear 3 - 5ft: unarmed
Bugbear 4 - 20ft: (still dazzled?), in melee with Patry

Bugbear 4 is dazzled for a minute from the beginning of the attack

Trilby bats away the creature's weapon and unleashes a second attack
Bite, Claw, Claw, I.C.: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 = 131d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 = 181d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 = 23 Bite Misses
Damage, I.C.: 1d3 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 71d3 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

The bugbear, blinking, is easily side-stepped. Patry removes herself from the threat 20ft. and shoots him again.

Crossbow, I.C.: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6 His unpredictable movements make targeting difficult, and she misses.

AoO vs Patry: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17, Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Trilby takes down a bugbear while Patry retreats to fire her crossbow.

Melaphi, Payet, Garroth, and Feth are up!

If Garroth can take a 5 foot step to get Bugbear 1 and 3 in reach he will do so and flurry, attacking one and attempting to trip the other. If not, he simply swings at his current opponent.

Not bothering with his sheild, Garroth heaved his sword in a deadly arch towards the Bugbears midrift.

Temple Sword Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 8 - 1 = 12 Pfff!

Growling with anger at his continued failure to connect, he instead tried to hook its leg as he pulled the sword back from his previous swing.

Flurry of Maneuvers (Trip): 1d20 + 12 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 12 - 2 - 1 = 25

Bugbear 1 - 0ft: tripped, in melee with Garroth
Bugbear 3 - 5ft: unarmed
Bugbear 4 - 20ft: dazzled

A beam of light bursts from Fethryth's hand, catching the third bugbear square in the face.

Casting Flare. Fort DC 14

Fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Bugbear 1 - 0ft: tripped, in melee with Garroth
Bugbear 3 - 5ft: unarmed, dazzled
Bugbear 4 - 20ft: dazzled

Since I cant be sure when ill be able to take a look again, here are Garroths attack of opportunity if the Bugbear stands up, plus his attack on his turn.

Temple Sword Power Attack AOO: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 8 - 1 = 13 Hopefully a hit with the prone penalty.

Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 3 = 12

Flurry on his turn, again trying to catch one with a trip and another with his attack if able.

Flurry of Maneuvers (Trip): 1d20 + 12 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 12 - 2 - 1 = 18

Temple Sword Power Attack AOO: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 - 1 = 9

Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 3 = 14

Man, Karma is out to get me! Sorta...

be sure to add the effects of the divine power of rock, in this case, namely a +1 to hit and damage

Alright, I'll hold that until the others have gone.

Payet and Melaphi up!

5 more hp healed on Feth, and taken by Melaphi.

Melaphi steps between Feth and the bugbear, taking a defense stance.
Full defense. No other actions.

ok, just barely have time to post before work, the guitar solo finishes and as the last note resonates out the assimar charges the nearest monster with his axe charging inspired power attack to hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 axe to the face damage: 1d12 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
assuming the AC is the same as the standard beastiary bugbear When his mighty swing connects a massive spray of ichior bursts from the wound. Payet hen starts singing "In the beginning! Back in 1955"

I figured I'd roll for Feth's action since she's next. She's targeting bugbear 3 unless Payet just killed it with the power of rock. Then it's bugbear 4

Fethryth blasts a bolt of pure magic at one of the bugbears.
Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

No move action

We'll say he killed 4. Better charging distance.

The fallen bugbear attempts to stand while the other tries to scare away Feth!
Garroth catches the standing one with a mighty slash, but he returns with his own attack.
Morningstar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15, Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
But Garroth dodges to the side and puts him on the ground again.

Demoralize vs Feth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
The snarling bugbear just isn't scary enough to worry Feth, who responds by throwing acid in its face!

Bugbear 1 - 0ft: 12 dmg, tripped, in melee with Garroth
Bugbear 3 - 5ft: 4 dmg, unarmed, dazzled

Payet, Melaphi, and Patry up!

With the creatures becoming quickly disabled Melaphi tries his hand at melee combat.
Attack: 1d20 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) - 4 + 1 = 5

The pain in his fingers to grip his weapon properly though prevents his attack from being effective.

Patry focuses her attention on Bugbear 3 and commands Tribly to help Garroth with Bugbear 1, flanking it if possible w/o AoO.

Patry casts Summon Minor Ally

Trilby attacks.

Bite, Claw, Claw, I.C.: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 = 271d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 1 = 201d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 = 23
Damage (Bite, Claw, Claw): 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 61d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 61d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Crit Confirm (Bite): 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 = 23 Crit Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Trilby cuts down a bugbear while Patry begins casting a spell. full-round will resolve at start of next turn

Bugbear 3 - 5ft: 4 dmg, unarmed, dazzled

Payet up!

Payet grins at the death of his enemy before afixing his eyes on the next monster, continuing to sing "man didn't know 'bout a rock and roll show, and all that jive" as he charges the next closest enemy
charging inspired power attack to hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 axe to the face damage: 1d12 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Payet charges the remaining bugbear, nearly slaying it. Finding itself in a hopeless situation, it tries to run away.
Withdraw 60ft, you can chase it if you want, but this combat is pretty much over. Feel free to act out of initiative.

Following the fleeing Bugbear, Garroth drew another javelin and tried tossed it.

Javelin: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 4 - 2 = 22 -2 from range increment

Crit?: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 2 = 17

Critical!: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 4) + 8 = 16

Garroth cheered as the javelin soared right into its target, but then quickly lost his mirth as the weapon struck home with deadly force. "Damn, I was gonna have one of you heal that one so we could ask some questions." He said, with annoyance as he started collecting his javelins. "See if one of the others is still alive would you?" He said, looking at Melaphi.

Following the fleeing Bugbear, Garroth drew another javelin and... Critical!: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 4) + 8 = 16 Garroth cheered as the javelin soared right into its target

Nice shot!

"Sure, should I hand him his weapon back to?" Melaphi asks sarcastically.

The oracle pulls the rope from his pack, "Anyone good with a knot? Mine tend to be a little loose."

Offer it to Patry or Payet to tie up an unconscious bugbear before applying a healing spell.
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Melaphi then applies a spell to his own wounds as well.
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Melaphi finds a breathing bugbear and revives it with magic (once it is secure, of course). The creature awakens, snarls, notices the ropes, then sets to trying to break them.
Strength: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

"Quit your squirmin' if you know whats good for you!" Garroth shouted, taking a few threatening steps towards the Bugbear, fist raised menacingly.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

The bugbear seems unimpressed by Garroth's threats. It roars back, "Choke on your own spit and die, worthless half-breed maggot!"
Intimidate back: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Payet manafests a halo above his head as a sign of his own heritage "hey now, could you at least try to be civil, if you behave you might just be let go, misbehave and we are perfectly within our rights to do likewise, do note that you're the last of your group alive, and that we slaughtered the rest of them in under a miniute that is because we decided that's how it would be"
intimidate: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
add an extra +2 if he's evil as I assume he is

The bugbear shuts up, but still appears quite grumpy.

Taken slightly by surprise by the sheer volume of the Bugbears retort, by the time Garroth mustered up a retort, Payet had already handled things. A bit sullen, he vented a bit on the Bugbear by kicking him in the ribs. "So tell us, what can we expect inside? More of you goons?

"Can't get inside, it's impossible! We was gonna skin ya and make you get us in there!" the creature sneers before growling at Patry. "Let me out and I'll keep you alive... for a while."
Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Melaphi scoffs at the bugbears words, "There are five of us, and you'll let us live if we let you go? That is rather amusing now. Especially when you haven't even the skill to figure out how to get in to a tower."

The bugbear growls at Melaphi in a primal, wordless expression.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
It then tries again to free itself.
Strength: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
