Serpent's Skull: False? Gods and Monkeys With Guns (Inactive)

Game Master Eric Sklavos

I think the sounds you herd earlier were the trogs Gimble may conferm that or not.

I think the sounds you herd earlier were the trogs Gimble may conferm that or not.

Goro heard some noise on the bridge, and at the building to the south (Where he's at). The noises to the south were definately fewer than that to the north. Goro saw one trog come around the building after him (now dead for its efforts) and he saw a fireball around where he knew ZAO to be, but hasn't seen any other trogs than the one yet. He's perception was good enough to hear something, but couldn't pinpoint exactly how many or where the somethings were.

I'll take my turn in the morning, giving ZAO until then to take his turn.

Reflex ZAO: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22
Reflex Krom: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Reflex Eido: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

ZAO Krom and Eido all take 4 points of fire damage from the fireball.

ZAO gives the evil eye to Blue (-4 Attack)

Eido is full defensive, and ZAO is fighting defensively.

Kieyanna charges at Red.

Katana: 1d20 + 12 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 12 - 2 + 2 = 21

hitting with her Katana for Damage: 1d8 + 5 - 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 5 - 2 + (1, 2) = 10 Slaying the creature.

Blue moves up drawing a javeline at throws at 1:Eido, 2:ZAO: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Javeline: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 - 4 = 7 Eido easily dodges the attack.

The other Troglodyte moves over and attacks Kieyanna.

Club: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Kieyanna easily avoids the attack.

The rest of the troglodytes move up, some of them running, and a few more coming out of hiding from the other end of the bridge.

what are the dimentions of the wall I put the blue squiggle on?

Griff will fly around so as to not provoke an AOO (now at ground level) and hopefuly with a flank bonus wack the trog.

attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 2 = 13
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

once again Griff swings like WIZARD, but hopefuly this will help out Kieyanna.
Griff also yells in

Goro continues his way around the building.

ZAO keeps his hex going as Eido moves and takes a shot at the Troglodyte, hitting it pretty well, but not killing it. Invisible Krom reloads.

Griff moves into a flanking position and swings like a wizard, missing the troglodyte.

Round 3:
Mik
Griff -- Moves and attacks
ZAO -- moves, cackles and Eido attacks
Goro -- Double moves
Kieyanna
Troglodytes
--End of Round--

I'll update in the morning before I go to work.

Mik will do a double move 120', maintaining 40' elevation. Besides the half dozen or so Trogs, does Mik see any other movement or creatures? Do the trogs in front of Mik have ranged weapons?

How tall are the 8 pillars that are due east of Mik? If taller than 40', Mik will start angling up, decreasing his forward movement.

what are the dimentions of the wall I put the blue squiggle on?

The bridge walls are 3' tall

Griff and Kieyanna need to make 2 more Fort saves DC 14 or be sickened.
----------

The Red Troglodytes move up and throw beads. One fireball engulfs Goro, The other engulfs Kieyanna and Griff.

Goro Fireball: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2) = 11 Reflex DC 14 for half.
Griff and Kieyanna Fireball: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6) = 17 Reflex DC 14 for Half.

Sorry, -5 on the second power attack for iterative.

Mik will double move forward 40' and up 40' (80' of movement up) to a new height of 80'. Does he see anything on top of the 8 pillars?

Mik double moves toward the pillars and 4 javelins come flying his way.

Javelines x4: 4d20 ⇒ (12, 5, 14, 10) = 41 All of which fly harmlessly by the elf.

There is nothing special about the pillars. They're a bit run down and not perfectly flat on top. There's some overgrowth on them as well.

Griff casts Spiked Pit and . . .

Reflex Saves x3: 3d20 ⇒ (17, 8, 10) = 35

With a single swing, Kieyanna's katana lops the creatures head clean off. She then takes a 5' step and attacks the second troglodyte.

Katana: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 - 2 = 11, but misses.

Don't forget guys, let me know when you want fortune. I have to be near you to upkeep it with chant, but I'm planning on keeping Eido's going throughout this battle, so say the word and I'll become your flying support of luck for a while and follow you around.

Griff looks into the pit and sees 3 dead troglodytes at the bottom, then moves on to cast Acid Splash hitting for 3 points of Acid damage.

ZAO gives Eido fortune and Eido takes a shot at the nearest trog, hitting it for 14 damage.

Goro swings at the charging Trog, and the momentum from the Trog's charge carries him right into Goro's axe, splitting its head open, dropping yet another smelly troglodyte. Goro turns his attention to the next closest, but the axe blade sticks a little in the skull of the previous trog, and his attack misses.

Round 5:
Mik
Griff -- Move and cast
ZAO -- fortune, and eido attack
Goro -- Full Round Attack.

Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

And then flies another 60', skimming the first pillar as he flies past.

Damage: 1d8 + 5 - 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 5 - 2 + (6, 3) = 17

Kieyanna swings upward and slices through the abdomen of the creature and then swipes back across its neck to finish it off.

Troglodytes

Mik's Troglodytes, follow Mik, but hide behind the pillar.

The Assassins go:

Appearing behind Griff is a female human. She doesn't appear to have any armor on and is flying right next to Griff.

Dagger: 1d20 + 5 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 20 + 2 = 44

Griff feels a blade pierce the back of his neck at the top of the spine.

Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (3) = 8 --There also seems to be a burning sensation from the wound as well.

She then Shifts 15'down behind the wall.

Griff needs to make a FORT Save:

---------------------

Only Goro can see this, but ZAO will probably hear the attack

Appearing behind Goro is a male halfling in red mantis garb with a longsword and a shortsword.

Short Sword: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 2 + 2 = 29
I believe that hits flat-footed
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 2 + 4d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 + (4, 2, 2, 4) = 17 --There also seems to be a burning sensation in the wound as well.

Goro feels a small blade piercing into his lung
"You tall folk think you're so superior!"

Goro needs to make a Fort Save:

ZAO
Goro
Kieyanna
Troglodytes
--End of Round--

Do I happen to see the Halfling hit Goro? I'm guessing not based on the map. If I do I'll change this action later though
Zao fires at the first trog Eido hit and chants.
attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Uses a grit point.
dmg: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Eido fires at the other trog. Use the better attack roll. And moves 40ft north towards the Mantiss that hit Griff
attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
Dmg: 2d10 + 1 ⇒ (10, 2) + 1 = 13
Krom reloads Eido's gun.

Visually, you probably can't see the attacker, but you hear the attack especially since you have a good perception.

Griff would like to take this moment before his fate is decided to give himself a mental slap Stupid Griff! Brain damage: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 points of incompidence damage. this damage is a reminder that there are people(and some animals) that can remember exactly what they are hunding. Now with further adoulets see what FATE can do for us... Or, will Griff finally get to meat Yderisal?
Fort save or die!: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Hollly !@#$ I won!I would like to thank all those who made this posible...whomever you are. now the dex poisonfort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

I think I'll sleep on what to do next. Dirty Assassin...wait is she pretty? Maybe she could be convinced to give up her evil ways, repent and follow Yderisal! wait...+20 to hit... that $#@! she cast truestrike to wak me that's it I'm taking her book! She can still repent if she would like to. 8)

Excellent. I'll keep most of the action the same except the movement

fort: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

The female assassin just missed severing the spinal cord at the top of the neck of Griff. Griff also fights off the poison.

The short sword from the halfling puntures the lung and heart of Goro, he falls. Roll % die. -- Low is good.

ZAO chants to continue Fortune on Eido. Eido fires his weapon at the nearest Trog, striking another Troglodyte down.

Round 6:
Mik
Griff
ZAO -- Move, chant, Eido fires
Goro
Kieyanna
Troglodytes
--End of Round--

I assume Mik doesn't see any of this with the pillar between him and the rest of the party. I also assume Mik didn't see any invisible foes earlier either. With these assumptions, Mik will fly to the last pillar, looking for enemies along the way.

Did Zao's shot miss? He had fired as well

Did Zao's shot miss? He had fired as well

My mistake: ZAO killed the trog, Eido did damage to the next one.

Mik moves forward, scouting what's up ahead. It's eerily quiet as he makes his way closer to the base of the spire.

Round 6:
Mik -- Double move
Griff
ZAO -- Move, chant, Fire, Eido fires
Goro
Kieyanna
Troglodytes
--End of Round--

Griff will move south and up 5' so 20' off the ground. then he'll cast see invisability(which i should have done at the start ), then he'll shift 25' straight up.

On the move Griff will shout:
ASSASSIN, DAMMIT I SHOULD HAVE EXPECTED THIS!

quick question, did the assassins make their fort saves from the trog stench. If a trog is dead does he still give off a stench? If so for how long, and can it be bottled for sale?

Both trogs I just moved away from had been shot twice each. Are you sure they're not both dead?

quick question, did the assassins make their fort saves from the trog stench. If a trog is dead does he still give off a stench? If so for how long, and can it be bottled for sale?

Yes, they made their saves. You notice they are also wearing something over their mouths and nose.

Both trogs I just moved away from had been shot twice each. Are you sure they're not both dead?

You've actually hit 3 different trogs. The first one you hit charged at Goro, which Goro finished off. Another trog filled in where that one was next to you. I went back through and double checked, everything should be correct. (You hit blue, red, and the dead one where you were)

I had a busy morning, I'm just about ready to leave for work. I'll take my turn this evening after I get off work.

Seeing Goro drop, Kieyanna takes a 5' step away from the troglodytes and casts Dimension Door ending up next to the halfling assassin and Goro.
