Serpent Skull- Beer and Pretzels (Inactive)

Game Master drbuzzard

Having no reason to doubt their hospitality I accept the drink just as I had accepted the meal.

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Lalali takes a sip as well.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Ivar lifts the cup, "Cheers!" and takes a large swig.

Malok partakes after he see's if any of the party fall over dead.. If not he drinks..

Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Everybody but Ivar, and Dino has been knocked out by the mickey that was slipped to them.

At this point it is pretty obvious that there's trouble, so init time.

init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Everyone who failed, takes 1 con damage and has to make another save on their turn or they are unconscious.

init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Fort Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Uh i don't feel so good. It's this drink...

Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

"Why am I not suprised.."

Doing a map?

Map is up. You were standing outside their hut waiting for the dance ritual.

Malok steps back and casts Barkskin on Ivar.. Shred moves around into a potential flank with Ivar. He will get one attack.

+2 AC for 50 min Ivar

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 vs FF
Dam: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Shrugging as he drops the cup, stepping forward drawing his sword, "Pity, I wanted to see if my spirit animal was a bear or a wolf. Guess I'll have to decided on my own." He then begins to rage, swinging his greatsword at the girl in the middle.

move action: ten foot, draws sword, attack: MW Greatsword, WA, PA, FF, rage, pb AC -2 @ 18 same due to Barkskin
attacks: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31 for damage: 2d6 + 10 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3, 1) + 10 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 23

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Delaying to see if anyone fails the save and goes unconscious or gets hurt.

In a spray of blood Ivar hacks open the chest of the middle dancer, dropping her like a sack of potatoes.

Dino hits also.

The dancer in the back casts a spell, and I need a DC 23 will save from Ivar.

The other two pull daggers and go full defense.

Lalali is up for the end of round 1.

will: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 = 21

Lalali thinks the dancer in the back seems cold and lonely, blessing her with a scorching ray.

Scorching Ray: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 134d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 5, 4, 1) + 4 = 16

Can I tell what spell was cast by the dancer?
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Lalali, your spell misses (cover).

Hindi: You are not quite able to determine what the spell is. However this should be a hint:

you see Ivar's eyes glass over and the lady in back shouts "Kill the wizard!" so he turns towards her to follow the command.

Ivar, you get another will save (DC 23). If you fail it, attack Lalali.

will: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 = 16
Kill the wizard? Sort of Vague, does Ivar know who the dancer is speaking directly about? Would Ivar know Lalai was an arcanist instead?

Just trying to figure out how to not kill a friend :-)

The Lady pointed at Lalali. You have to attack her. Honestly the spell allows telepathic communication, so giving you a verbal warning is kind on my part.

I'm coming back in the order when I hear the crazy dancing lady demands that one of his friends kill one of friends. Seeing that funny look on Ivar's face when he turned around, I cast Unbreakable Heart on him.

@Ivar the spell (Command I'm guessing) is suppressed for 5 rounds, if you are commanded to harm an ally again you get a +4 morale bonus on the save and get to roll twice and pick the better one.

I assume top of the round then?

Hearing the command to attack Lalali, Malok tries to entangle the area..

Starting it at Ivar and covering the house and to the right, should miss the dino.

DC 16 reflex to avoid..

Dino attacks two.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Dam: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Dam: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Dam: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

ok, read the description of 'unbreakable heart' seems clear as mud...so can Ivar attack one of the dancing ladies?

The relevant part you care about is

The target creature gains a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against mind-affecting effects ... that would force him to harm an ally.... If the target is already under such an effect when receiving this spell, that effect is suppressed for the duration of this spell.

PRD Unbreakable Heart

You have 5 rounds to attack the bad guys before my blocker wears off. If the dancing lady orders you again to attack an ally and you get another save, then you would get to roll twice and take the better result for the save.

Ok, That's how I read it. Is there any reason he can't attack the one who cast the spell? After a 5 ft step of course.

You can attack whoever you like. I should have told Hindi before they joined about my rule of 'Core spells only unless you ask', but as I didn't this spell is fine for know. As it is clearly a broken as hell spell, I'm not inclined to allow it in the future. A 1st level spell should not simply negate spells of much higher level.

Freezing for a moment as the dancer towards the rear rakes his brain with her thoughts. Looking murderously from the dancer to Lalali, he thaws as the gnome does something. Stepping forward between the front two dancers, he snarls, "I think not." then swings his greatsword at the dancer who cast the spell.

5 ft step, attack: MW greatsword, WA, PA, FF, rage AC -2 @ 18
attacks: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29 for damage: 2d6 + 10 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2) + 10 + 6 + 1 = 23

Dino: One hit, for a little.

Ivar: Hit, and a solid hit at that.

Lalali?

Lalali decides not to do anything apparently.

The two dancers attack Ivar.

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 17 damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3 ooh, scary

The one in back sprouts wings, a tail, small horns and fangs.

She then tries to fly up and out of reach.

This should prompt an AOO from Ivar.

After that she tries a spell on Hindi.

DC 22 will save.

PCs are up.

Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17 To see what I'm getting hit with.

Nobody is injured more than 5 to trigger life link so I'm done.

charm monster

Feeling the dagger scratch his arm, Ivar glares at the attacker, seeing the spellcaster sprout wings and try to fly away, He snarls at the attacker"Wait there, your next." He then swings his greatsword in an arch, first at the flier then at the attacker.

so AOO, then attacks the one that stabbed him.attack: MW Greatsword, WA, PA, FF, rage, pb AC -2 @ 18
AoO: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28 for damage: 2d6 + 10 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4) + 10 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 27
attacks: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19 for damage: 2d6 + 10 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5, 2) + 10 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 26

You hit the flyer on the way up, then drop another dancer.

Lalali readies magic missiles for when the flying demonlike creature casts her next spell or attacks someone.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3, 3) + 6 = 16

Noone saved vs entangle..

reflex: 3d20 ⇒ (18, 6, 11) = 35 pass, fail, fail

succubus made it, the one ones don't matter much.

SR check needed for magic missile

SR: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 fizzles

Waiting on Malok.

My bad. He has no ranged ability so pass..

The succubus, ailing from the attacks, flies away.

The two dancers call after her "Mistress!!" but cease attacking.

combat over.

Looking from the fleeing succubus, to the last two dancers, Ivar gestures towards the fallen dancers, "What were you thinking? I'm not helping bury them, your on your own." Looking at the sun, Ivar asks the others, "Since we not getting a free 'spirit animal reading' shall we press on?"

drbuzzrd, what time of day is it? Just wondering about how soon we should make camp.

Neither dancer is outright dead yet. They are bleeding out.
You might as well make camp here anyway since there's a hut to stay in.

In any case, before you get to the next section, level up.

Assuming that no one else wants to press on, Ivar lifts the bodies, those dead and those dying, and moves them far enough away from the hut that the scavengers will not disturb his sleep. He then goes into the hut laying out his bedroll, getting ready to sleep before his watch.

After an uneventful night, you head on towards your goal, an ancient Azlanti outpost.

After a couple of days of further trekking through the jungle, you come upon it, a walled ruin hidden amidst the jungle.

Give me perception checks.

Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

Perc: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33
Dino: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23

Malok casts Longstrider on himself.

As you get closer Malok (through a small break in the trees, spots some bipedal ape men seemingly patrolling the walls of the ruin.

Knowledge local to identify.
