Scions of the Sky Key [Core] (Inactive)

Game Master Zizazat

While you prepare for the upcoming fight you hear voices coming closer "Bastard kobolds and their stupid traps. Childish play of reptiles." one of them shouts.

Cahtryn's net trap needs more than one round. I imagine her being on the bridge above the room, looking down, holding the net tight to drop it as soon as somebody gets below her? Is that correct? The Aspis come in the same way you came, meaning through the door in the southwest corner of the room and there is no ramp or anything to get up, the stairs lead to the bridge.

And please set up your character's positions in the room. The guardian is calculated in the defense points you collected during this scenario, he will not actively take part in the fight.

Tariq is good where he is.

Beorin will stand with Tariq.

[ooc]can't see irisus but he will be at 30ft of the combat.

If that's the best position for her to be in to ambush these jerks, then that's what she'll do. Wait on the bridge for someone to walk underneath her.

Ok, putting Irisus 30 ft. from the door, hiding Radagast around the corner, Beorin and Tariq are at the stairs while Cathryn waits for an Aspis agent to get close enough to drop her net.

Shortly after you took your positions you see the Aspis agents entering the temple hall, they already look injured and sickened.

"Such a waste!"

Shaking his head sadly, Radagast steps forward, and, completely ignoring the goons, goes after the leader-type at the back.

Technically, this will provoke from blue, but since they are flat-footed, it will only matter if he has combat reflexes.

MW Cold Iron Scythe: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 1 = 16, for 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 6 = 13 damage.

He then gives the hyena a cheerful grin.

"I don't suppose that you want to be my friend?"

GM checks the statblock....

...

...

no combat reflexes so leader is unconscious :O

"For your sakes, you should all surrender."
Beorin remarks upon seeing his companion fell the leader with one blow.
Intimidate, even if I can't do it very well. 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Realising something, irisus retreat 30 ft and shoot a beam of light at the hyena.
force missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Cathryn watches with amazement as Radagast defeats the leader in one swing.

What a group. They have no need of my protection. They have no need of me at all.

Intimidate assist check: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1

-2 for her lousy charisma, but +2 for her being a half-orc.

"You are already ill and now your leader has fallen. Surrender is most logical."

"Do you mean Kamekta? She's only the leader of our group! There are more to come, together with our real leader!" one of the Aspis shouts back.

"Sht! They must not know this!" another one shouts back, looking a bit pale.

While Beorin tries to intimidate one of them Irisus shoots a magic missile at the hyena. Cathryn, still holding the net, tries to help Beorin convince the Aspis pack to retreat.

The hyena rushes after Irisus and growls.

"Then I guess that we will just have to deal with all of you in the same fashion," Radagast says sadly.

intimidate would have being my standard action, GM

Irisus looks at the hulking gnoll charging toward him.

Toad, I am happy to have meet you.

Cathryn drags her net behind her as she decides it is time to enter the fight and protect her comrades. She moves toward Irisius, guessing him to be the most endangered.

"Thanks Cathryn.", Irisus says.

Oh yes, thanks!

While Cathryn moves down the bridge the remaining Aspis scum shoot arrows at Radagast and Cathryn. Neither of the arrows hits.
blue vs. Radagast: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 - 2 = 14

Radagast sighs.

"Well, you were given your chance... I guess there is only one thing left to do..."

He then grimly steps forward, and attempts to reap red.

MW Cold Iron Scythe: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 1 = 19, for 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 6 = 10 damage.

Dang! Radagast the Reaper. Witch King won't know what hit him!

"Mwangi power!"

force missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Tariq fires from his hidden location at the blue aspis and reloads!

Crossbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Sneak (if applicable): 1d6 ⇒ 6

Perception: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (15) - 4 = 11 +3 to AC.

Cathryn continues until she reaches Irisus' enemy, then she attacks in her defensive style. She is, of course, more interested in protecting Irisus than harming the poor beast, but at least now it has something else to go after.

cathryn ,i think you forgot your attack bonus

-Posted with Wayfinder

Tariq shoots at the Aspis in blue and hits. The man drops to the ground. Radagast attacks the one in front of the door and cuts off one of the man's arms. The floor is covered with blood, but the man is still standing, although he starts to sweat and looks really pale. Irisus hurls a magic missile at the hyena next to him.

If Cathry really forgot her attack bonus (+2?) that would actuall hit.

Round 2

Tariq

Beorin moves as swiftly as he can towards Radagast, looking to give him a flanked position.
Double move

Beorin moves around to help Radagast by distracting the Aspis agent who does not attempt to do anything. Instead he gets paler and paler, he raises his arms to protect his head and chest.

Tariq

Tariq moves down the stairs slightly, getting closer to the wounded Aspis agent and fires again!

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Sneak (if applicable): 1d6 ⇒ 3

I think I've been doing her math wrong. She has -1 to attack and + 1 to AC when she uses her Combat expertise, which she nearly always does. And a further -4 because she fights defensively, but with a +2 to AC. This results in a +3 to AC and -5 to attack. But you guys may be right. I'd forgotten that she does get a base attack bonus, so adding in her strength score (12/+1), I should have only been -3ing her attacks, not -4ing.

Attack: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (15) - 3 = 12

Damage (if any): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

She continues her attempt to protect Irisus, and herself, with her scimitar.

Seeing that the fight has gone out of the one-armed Aspis agent (or if Tariq drops him!), Radagast charges off after the Hyena.

MW Cold Iron Scythe: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 24, for 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 6 = 9 damage.

Tariq shoots another arrow at the wounded Aspis scum. He hits and Radagast lands the final blow on the hyena, dropping it to the ground. The kobolds in the corner cheer, they are safe now they think but from far you hear foot steps on the stone floor again. "Get them and kill them all!" a man shouts.

Round 3
Radagast
Cathryn
Irisus
Beorin
Tariq

"Right. More on the way!"

Radagast moves over to the double doors (and if he has time...) closes them, readying to attack the first non-kobold that opens them.

Beorin moves over and closes those door allowing Radagast the reaper for now to ready his action.
"Well. I guess they'll come face to face with that rather nasty weapon you have there."

Tariq moves up, reloading his crossbow and readying to throw alchemist's fire on Aspis agents as they enter the door!

She'll go next to Beorin, and when she gets there, she'll prepare the net as a ranged weapon to throw it on anyone who comes into the room.

"Too bad we don't have anything itchy or painful or toxic to apply to the net for the person it lands on."

Beorin closes the door while Radagast and Tariq ready their weapons to attack whatever gets closer. After a few seconds another Aspis kicks in the door. Behind him you see two more of them.

Without hesitation, Irisus throws an another beam of light at the closest aspis.

"Hello! It's time for you to go away..."

Radagast unloads on the Aspis (red) in front of him.

MW Cold Iron Scythe: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 1 = 17, for 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 6 = 9.

Deciding that the fishing net is not her best move yet, she joins Radagast at his side, seeking to protect him and her comrades.

Attack in defensive style: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (14) - 3 = 11 +3 AC.

Damage (if any): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Irisus throws a beam of light at the Aspis in the door frame before Radagast and Cathryn block the door. Radagast's scythe hits the Aspis in the door. The Aspis looks badly wounded, but still stands.

"Move on, you coward! Just push them aside!" an angry voice shouts from behind.

Round 5

Beorin adds his hammer to the fray.
Hammer time! Green 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 121d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Angling his hammer to the side, he attempts to tap the man just outside the door

"Please forgive me, Grandmother," Cathryn pleads.

Then she gets mad at the mere suggestion that she and the others be pushed out of the way and loses her temper, becoming enraged.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 Abandoning defensive style and -2 AC.

Wow. Critical threat. Crit confirm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 Should have known it was too good to be true with her.

Damage if any: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Readied alchemist's fire (touch): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Assuming it would be on green since he was first through the door...

Tariq then moves back from the fray, taking aim at the yellow Aspis and firing his crossbow!

Crossbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Sneak (if applicable): 1d6 ⇒ 1

"Yeah move!"

-Posted with Wayfinder

Tariq's vial hits the man who catches fire. Beorin hits the man at the door with his hammer which drops the man.

The next man in line moves towards the door, striking at Cathryn while the man in the back casts a spell. Radagast feels something strange in the guts and he has the desire to get away from the man as fast as possible. Cause fear, DC13 will
blue vs. Cathryn: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23.

Radagast waggles a finger at the man at the back.

"You are a naughty boy!"

He then tires to remove the remaining impediment between himself and the spellcaster.

Specifically, the poor Aspis mook ;-)

MW Cold Iron Scythe: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12, for 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 6 = 9 damage.

He then steps forward (so that someone else can get into melee).

Beorin simply brings his arm back to deliver yet another blow with his hammer seeing that movement for him is restricted.
Attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Irisus just takes a defensive posture. he can't see anything and the situation seem under control.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Cathryn doesn't even notice the paltry attack against her, instead keeping her focus on helping in the fight.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Critical threat confirmation: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Aren't scimitars just delightful?
