Seraphimpunk's Way of the Wicked

Game Master Seraphimpunk

I did not modify health on the map. Should I in the future or will that get confusing? I can track what I understand their health is before and after I heal in my posts if that helps.

before/after should help, then i can match up on the map

putting piety into delay . i possibly have her in the wrong phase anyhow.

The brown beast roars, having been stuck by Edwin, and retaliates, trying to bite and claw at Edwin, who just manages to dodge and duck,

its hard, in play by post, to use immediate reactions that require you not to know the outcome of the roll in advance. i'm doing it this way against Edwin so he's got a chance to use panache if he wants, just from the die rolls. maybe its best to state in your post if you're prepared to use panache?

Edwin, the Brown one attacks three times. are you going to try and use opportune parry / riposte on any of them by spending a point of panache as an attack of opportunity? ( no combat reflexes , so you can only do one, if you want. and its done before the roll is made but after the attack is announced )

bolded may act, others would just be speaking or immediate actions out of turn

Yeah, next feat will be combat reflexes...

parry: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24

if successful

riposte: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30

threatens

confirmation: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31

Damage

damage: 2d6 + 18 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 18 + 6 = 32

you parry, the first bite ( there's a -2 penatly due to his size, but a 22 still beats the 19 i rolled for him. ), and strike back, hitting him for 32 damage ( 22 of which goes through )

his first claw attack comes close, but you dodge it, and avoid it.
but you dodge right into his second claw attack, which gouges you for 18 damage.

I would vote, where possible, that people pre-post what their immediate may be. We don't have to be sticklers about it, but it isn't difficult to say, "I prepare to do [fill in the blank immediate] should the enemy do [fill in the blank, as specific as possible, but more likely, general attack]. Again, it isn't perfect, but handle it like any other call for reactionary action pending a expected event.

Looking at the map with my phone, I think when green moved, I had an AoO with my long arms holding my reach weapon. Yes/No?

If so, here is my AoO:
+-=Rage, Power Attack, Big Game Hunter, +1 hammer. I don't know if I have flank or other buffs to assist.
Lucerne Hammer: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 11 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d12 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 6 = 27

I fried the hell out of brown on my last turn and don't see any damage on the map. You said all of it didn't go through, but hopefully some of it did?

If he does look fried, I'm going to repeat my last, successful, action and fry him again.

My normal, R2 action, pending my AoO question above...

I don't have any attacks that can assist with DR here, but I can drop my hammer and tackle Green...

+-=Rage, Power Attack, Big Game Hunter. Bonus for extra arms?
Non-Improved Grapple: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 11 + 1 = 20
oh boy an 8 /eyeroll

yeah, goldfish brain. i posted the description then didn't update the map. i did go back and heal leo/edwin, harm saio, and take saio's channel into effect ( but the channel to heal i interpreted as positive energy? or was that channel to heal undead ( like leo, edwin, and forsythe ? )

[dice=Lucerne Hammer]d20+11-2+1+1
[dice=Damage]d12+9+6

what's your reach at the moment? from 10ft - 15 ft? i think he would have been just entering a threatened square. he didn't pass through threatened squares b/c he walked along the wall to come around. if there was a ready, that would have gone off. but not an AoO.

piety tosses another burning arc at Brown, who looks badly singed.

reflex: 1d20 ⇒ 17 he saves

burning arc : 9d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 2, 6, 3, 4, 5, 2, 1) = 30 a much worse damage. w/ the save for 15, only a little bit goes through. and he ends up still standing.

neji can move up and tackle green, green take attacks of opportunity this round, but 20 isn't enough to get a hold of him. i moved you up adjacent, i'm not sure where you wanted to move, you can adjust since you're dropping, moving, and attempting to grapple.

i'll move for a flank, and whip Green. lets trip him.
swift: sacred weapon
[ fervor 6/8 remaining ]

gm is also realizing that he switched green and brown in initiave order - having green take his claw attacks on edwin at phase 16. in that vein. BROWN will actually go on phase 5.

+2 whip, divine favor +2, flank: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 31

he's on the ground prone.

Brown casts Slow on Neji, Edwin, Forstyhe, Leo, and Ash, then moves out of sight around the bend.

Edwin and Leo are slowed

Saio, then Edwin, Leo, and Ash are up

curse you, Daemon! Even so hindered will I defeat you

Attack (-1 for slow and +2 for flank and +4 from prone)

cutlass: 1d20 + 15 - 1 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 15 - 1 + 2 + 4 = 36

Confirm

confirmation: 1d20 + 15 - 1 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 15 - 1 + 2 + 4 = 22

Aw....

damage: 1d6 + 6 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 9 = 21

My reach is 15' with the hammer and 10' with claws. So for the grapples I will stay 10' away.

I can only (selective) channel negative with this build, so when healing, it would only benefit those that are healed by negative.

[r2] Life Link:

• Edwin......heals 5 (-27);
  
• Forsythe...heals 5 (-11);
  
• Leo........heals 5 (-23);
  
• Neji.......heals Ø (-3);
  
• Saio.......takes 15 (-40).
  

Move up and (please move me to the doorway, that should be 20 I think)...
ChannelNeg: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6 (+4 for Saio)
Affects Edwin (-21), Forsythe (-5), Leo (-17) & Saio (-30)

If he attacks from the ground I will Parry/Riposte, if he stands up I'll take the regular attack. If he tries to magic me, I'll use my +3 Charmed life ability.

Parry: 1d20 + 15 - 1 + 2 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 15 - 1 + 2 + 4 - 2 = 34

riposte: 1d20 + 15 - 1 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 15 - 1 + 2 + 4 = 34 (also AoO)

damage: 1d6 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 6 = 16

It's 9d6+9, so another 9 points of raw fire damage, which means another 4 points of post-save damage.

you can specify healing negative, if that's what you do. Leo, Forsythe, and Edwin, as well as yourself i guess, can receive benefit from "negative healing" for that reason, Edwin, Forsythe, and Leo get 6 points of negative energy (healing) from what you just channeled, cool k.

@pietyoop. k. so 4 more damage.

@edwin stabs him on the ground, slowed as he is, he deals 21 damage, not all of which go through, and then prepares himself to react to the creature should he try and magic him, or attack.

[r4]: [25: Edwin],

I step aside. The creature can now make attacks of opportunity if it wants to. my spell ends just before my turn.

Raise the greatsword, and powerattack the prone b!$&*.

+1 greatsword: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 4 = 22

i can't swift activate anything useful. so ... that misses.
can we get any buffs??

can at least get flank with ash.

mithril dagger: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 2 + 4 = 18

even worse =P

It stands up, drawing an AoO from everyone.

neji: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 + 1 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 2 + 1 + 1 + 4 + 2 = 26
edwin: 1d20 - 1 + 2 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (14) - 1 + 2 + 4 - 2 = 17
leo: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 4 = 22
ash: 1d20 + 8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 4 + 2 = 23

neji hits
damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 none of which seems to go through.

bite@edwin : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

- parry/ riposte. - you deal 16 damage, not all seems to go through.

it misses, and takes some damage

I'll step back out of reach, and cast bless to buff everyone's attacks

Going for a pin and potential capture, or at least make it easier to control and kill if needed. It may be nice to interrogate one, if possible.

do we have any way to make our weapons get past their resistance?

i've got a mithril dagger, i'll pull it out and toss it to you next round

Pending what the ladies ahead of me do...

He stood up, so no longer benefit of prone. still 29 is pretty high.

bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

his bite misses by 1 though ( if it hits though, bite dmg: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (5, 6) + 12 = 23 he deals 23 damage which brings the grapple check down to a 6...

( so, since its important: Neji, your AC is including the -2 for raging ? regular AC lists 22, but i see rage, and big game hunter gives you a +1 dodge bonus, so its it -2 +2 from somewhere, and +1 ? or should your AC be 21? or is your regular AC 24, and 22 is already raging? not sure what other effects you have up for AC. )

Oh snap, you right son! That's what I get for posting at work. I super miss and continue to be nothing more than a flanking machine. Although if the guy was not prone I wouldn't have tried. Can I have a muligan since I am still waiting for the girls? If, not I'm cool with getting spanked.

Yea, I'm just going to sit back and keep an eye on things. Make sure no one sneaks up the stairs or...um...yea.

Next level I need to learn haste, that's almost always useful

I move up and then smash my brown daemon friend in the face with some raw arcane energy.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1, 4) + 3 = 12

Oh, I can do that! Let me move in.

Double move

i've d'oh'ed enough, mixing green/brown, miffing a few things. i'll let you mulligan b/c you didn't notice he stood up ( and likely that he had attacks of opprotunity now that Litany of Sloth ran its course

The magic missles slam into brown and Temperance moves in to arcanely back up Piety. nearly instinctively tagging along

Neji is up w/ mulligan

i guess i shoulda said neji is up with his mulligan, and his regular round action =) then brown goes. Chris you'll be doing that. do you want to riposte if you're attacked?

or did you just want mulligan to mean negate that round,not a whole do-over? i'm not a golfer. to me it means do-over.

Also not a golfer, unless I want to fall asleep in confusion as to why it is a sport.

My R3 action is, uh, um, to whack it? Raging again..

The brown one vanishes around the corner, suddenly reappearing next to you roaring and imposing .

Saio goes. Brown just teleported in next to you and within reach of Temperance and Piety. Its pretty scorched and burnt, but the fires on it go out quickly, not all of the fire seems to have hurt it.

will let you post your healing and action

Edwin, Leo, and Ash can also post their actions, they're up next.

Edwin steps in, stabbing at it Having taken neji's powerful blow, Edwin strikes the creature, piercing about where you'd expect its heart to be. But it remains standing. Certainly wobbling a bit, but showing no signs of relent. Beastial, Driven. Fury radiating from it.

I do what I can, I attack it. Charging negative energy and reaching out to grasp it.

melee touch: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 1 = 17

touch of corruption: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 2) = 9

will save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

4 more damage is enough, you score the touch and bring it down. Disappearing in a pile of ash and smoke.

Ash flies around to spread out, and flies up to flank with Piety ::please draw a weapon or have one out :: trying to dodge and weave the last five ft. (acrobatics)

acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Channel Neg., Healing: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11 (+4 for Saio)
Affecting Edwin, Forsythe, Leo & Saio

I can draw my dagger. And then I can screech because this big monster just appeared in front of me. Then I can look slightly embarrassed b/c I lost my cool. Then I can move up a little and look tough b/c I'm not scared of some daemon. Seasoned adventurer. It just startled me.

Then I can ready to blast it with more magic missiles if it looks distracted (has used up it's AOO).

I'll draw my dagger too. Then I'll actually blast it with some magic missiles b/c I wasn't even startled by it and I'm not scared of some big monster-daemon thing.

I don't case defensively, so I provoke.

If he doesn't attack, or rolls a 1:
Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1, 1) + 3 = 8

Otherwise, I'm sure he breaks my concentration.

haha Tempy/Piety, great post
