Second Darkness beer and pretzles (Inactive)

Game Master drbuzzard

We're spending the night. Same watch order.

I thought we were spending the day, then heading out at night. I'm good with whatever, but we'll probably get attacked again at night.

-Posted with Wayfinder

As you enjoy nappy time during the day and into the night (I think), something above you launches a volley of spikes at your party (this is at night, so you can't see where they are coming from, just above- unless you have darkvision

(as Jean is on first watch with no darkvision, he cannot see this when it attacks, and the spike volley is a standard action doable in a surprise round)
Markcus
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 10 1d1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 hit
Kronug
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 5 1d1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 miss
Jean
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 15 1d1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 hit
Sileth
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 11 1d1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 hit

init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

"owww "

Init : 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Init: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
"What in the Nine Hells..."

initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
"Kronug, sheathe your weapons when you're asleep dangit!"

-Posted with Wayfinder

Initiative Check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
"Wake up! We are under attack! I can't see from where!"
He quickly channels to heal everybody from the spikes.
Heal: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7
New day, right?

You've rested a full day after running from some bugs, so for spell purposes, yes.

Does that means my inner wrath reserves are replenished too? Because waking up is very rage inducing.

Yes, daily abilities are back too.

What?! Impossible! Who could have foreseen this?

Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Oh this is gonna be fun.

initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

OK, order:

Critter
You targets.

again, a volley os spikes flies in from the darkness above
Marckus
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 15 damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 hit
Kronug
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 17 damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 hit
Jean
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 14 damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 hit
Sileth
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 11 damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 miss

PC targets are up.

Have darkvision, out of range for hexes. Haven't had time to cast Mage Armor so AC is 4 worse than normal.

"It's some sort of winged lion with a spiked tail!"

Knowledge(Arcana): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25 (to identify)

Cast Blindness/Deafness to Blind it (DC:17 Fort Negates).

fort save: 1d20 ⇒ 9 pass

what info do you want? 2 questions

Ask Buzzard if I can intimidate this one! Also, does it like pizza?

Kronug swears and takes his shortbow. The kellid tries to pinpoint the location of the flying thingy up there with his Keen Kellid Khearing(tm).
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
"I've seen Sileth do this hella times... how did this s~&* work... RAY OF FROST!" he yells as he fires an arrow blindly to the air.

Blindly Shooting: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
As if I was going to hit...: 1d6 ⇒ 4

You have no idea where it is, so the arrow just flies up into the darkness.

Jean kneels and channels energy again.
Healing: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12

how many tail spikes does this thing have?
Marckus positions himself in a squat, coiled like a spring, ready to pounce.
martial flexibility: improved grapple
Readied action: charge + grapple (+jump if needed)
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
charge: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 + 2 = 21

what info do you want? 2 questions

1. Any limit on how long it can shoot spikes at us?

2. Any other special attacks we should be afraid of?

Ulthar takes total defense at the moment til we can find the thing. AC 23 now.

It is a manticore, LE large magical beast.

It has a limited number of tail spikes, but you think it could go for 4 more rounds or so.
Unless you count flyby attack, it has no other tricks up it's nonexistent sleeve.

If it doesn't have sleeves, does that mean it doesn't have pockets?

-Posted with Wayfinder

You see no pockets with your darkvision. You abhor its fashion sense.

"Don't worry, it can't keep this up all night. Pretty soon we can all go back to sleep."

"We've been sleeping all day!"
can I change my action to total defense until it runs out of spikes?

-Posted with Wayfinder

yes, as I'm pretty sure you can't jump 50'.

Marckus cleverly does nothing useful!
AC 25

-Posted with Wayfinder

"Maybe the guy who can see in the dark could borrow a bow from a guy who can't see in the dark?"

What's with this rational tactics stuff?!? I like my comedy of errors.

Yes fellow mage! Brilliant! Ulthar spends the move action to retrieve and hand out his bow+arrows to Marckus.

Just fighting defensively now. AC 22, I think.

I'm not proficient with longbows

-Posted with Wayfinder

Sileth was sleeping unarmored,so his ac vs the first 2 attacks was 18

Feeling almost naked without his armor Sileth quickly casts Shield bringing his ac to 22 and then shoots an arrow at the rude beast.

. : +3 BAB +4 DEX, +1wf, +1weapon attunement, +1 magus enh, -2Spell Combat
arrow#1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Laughing at Kronugs attempt at a Ray.... "Silly Kellid. No Rays for you "

His mocking of Kronug would feel a lot better if he did not miss the beast by a country mile... He takes solace in the fact that the kellid cannot see in the dark and so won't be able to mock his poor shot

dammit you have one job...

-Posted with Wayfinder

While I understand you are an elf and all, there is no penalty for sleeping in light armor.

But if you want to be hit, you can be hit (both times in that case).

luckily the 2 hits were for minor damage and were healed by the channels.

gotta stop sleeping naked...

"I feel a disturbance in the Pride! SILETH! DID YOU F&%~ING MISS?!" yells the kellid who is as blind as a bat "THERE IS NO SHAME IN FAILING! BUT THERE WILL BE PAIN! PAIN FOR THE THINGY!"

The party ineffectually engages the critter.

You hear laughing in a deep growly voice from above, and the spikes continue to rain down.

Markcus
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 20 damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 hit
Kronug
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 5 damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 miss
Sileth

Jean
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 8 damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 miss

confirm: 1d20 ⇒ 5 damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 nope

Targets are up.

does Sileth have darkvision?

Cast my second Blindness/Deafness to Blind it (DC:17 Fort Negates).

Yes, he does. Tricky elves alternate racial traits...

fort save: 1d20 ⇒ 4 bah

"Laugh at that you stinky lion-bat-porcupine!" Rags shouts at the manticore.

Turning to the others he says: "I put its eyes out. Now we just have to worry about it crash landing on us."

You actually don't know that it is blind yet, but for the sake of amusing mockery, nevermind.

Kronug bellows a mighty laugh before yelling "The ugly thing is blind and trying not to get his nails hurt or something up in the air! What a nerd!"
The kellid drops the bow and draws his sword "Furthermore, I bet the idiot runs out of spikes soon but I will never run out of murderous steel! Come at me bro!"

Intimidate to Demoralize: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

The Tricksy elf continues his ranged assault

Ranged Spellstrike: +3 BAB +4 DEX, +1wf, +1weapon attunement, +1 magus enh, -2Spell Combat

arrow#1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
acid orb damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1
sneak att damage : 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10

arrow#2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
sneak att damage : 2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4

I included sneak attack damage in case it is within 30ft

blehhh

It is 50' up, which is apparently outside of your accurate range.

But is it inside my intimidate range? C'moooon! One of these days i will manage to demoralize something or someone!

yep... Might as well exchange my bow for a starknife

Considering it is going to fly away on its turn, it's a rather moot point.

but technically 50' is outside of demoralize range

If only he were proficient with composite longbows. If only. I think Paizo should come out with a more flexible martial class some day. With some scaling kind of... flexible... martial thing. I can't think of a name for it right now.

As there is nobody else with a ranged attack, we'll do the critters turn, and it just flies away. Not in a very straight line, but away nonetheless.

Combat over as it has exceeded the 60' range of darkvision.
