Game Master Chris Shannon 719

Actually I think B3 is out of it.

Round 25, Init 22

Oops, never mind.

Round 2, Initiative 13, Location J9

Atol moves up to Doctor Toffit and gives him the strength of St. Cuthbert.

"If you're done with the wand, head on in there and do some damage to the beast!"

He then follows up with his own attack against the brute.
Spiritual Cudgel 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 for 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 points of damage with a 20% miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 94.

*Strength Surge: +2 to any strength related task for the next round (attack, damage, CMB/D, etc.)

Round 2 Recap
Others = 26
Toffitt = 22 - Finishes off B2
Finneas = 21 - Delays then casts divine favor
Glimmil = 15 - Glimmil hits B3 for 6, Cog misses
Atol = 13 - moves to K6 or K7. I'm guessing K6. Strength surge
Dyrant = 11 - glitterdust, A saves

The half orc baboon takes a 5' step and pulls out his falchion. He half roars, half cackles as he swings down on Glimmil and slices clean through the plate mail and into Glimmil's shoulder. The baboons shriek at the sight of the blood and try to bite Glimmil.

A - (-2 to saves)
B1 -
B2 - down
B3 (-6 Glimmil)

1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 12 + 2 = 30 - A
2d4 + 10 ⇒ (4, 1) + 10 = 15 damage
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 B1
1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6 B3

New Map

Round 3
Others = 26
Toffitt = 22
Finneas = 21
Glimmil = 15
Atol = 13
Dyrant = 11

Missing for the blur will be 1-20 on a 1d100.

Round 3, Init 15

The enlarged orc-ape's swing is enough to knock Glimmil out of his routine as he wavers for a moment and bites his lower lip in concentration.

"Guys? A little help with this chunky monkey man??!"

Continue to fight defensively for AC26, and breaking up the flank with a 5ft step to (N,7)

If B1 is still up and someone is providing a flank, Glimmil and Cog swing at it (add +2 for flanking below), otherwise they attack the large orc-ape.

Fight with combat-trained mount (Ride DC10): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Glimmil attack (hammer, defensively): 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 8 - 4 = 8
Glimmil damage (hammer, defensively): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Cog attack (bite, power): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Cog damage (bite, power): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Cog trip: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

In case of attacking the ape:
Glimmil concealment vs Blur (21+ is hit): 1d100 ⇒ 71
Cog concealment vs Blur (21+ is hit): 1d100 ⇒ 19

Glimmil: 24/42HP
Cog: 28/28HP

Round 3, Init 22 {>N7}

Toffitt moves into the room, provoking from all three creatures as he moves next to the accursed beast. He then readies to attack B1 once Finneas moves into the room (thus providing flank).

In Celestial he says, "Finneas, come on in. Time to go ape."

Dueling blade 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
1d8 + 1 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 + (5, 5) = 18

Anatomy lessons seem to be paying off...

Oops. Sorry I took your spot, Glim. Though perhaps I'll have taken his only AoO for the round if you want to move to the other side for a flank...

Round 3 Init 21

Finneas moves in and attacks the monkey between himself and the Doctor.

Silver Morningstar Power Attack Divine Favor Two Handed Flank
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 161d8 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Toffitt ducks under the swing of the half orc baboon, but a normal baboon manges to bite deeply into his arm him as he goes by.

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 no confirm
EDIT: You might have noticed the bite increased from +3 to +6. I noticed I was using the half-orc baboon's bite which is listed as a 2nd attack with penalities included. The regular baboons are +6 to hit.

My resolution to Toffitt & Glimmil going for N7 is to move Glimmil to N4 for the flank.

Finneas again strikes a baboon solidly, but it continues to stand and chew on Toffitt's flesh as blood drips down its fur.

New Map in case Atol or Dyrant need it for their turns.

And then Toffitt's ready goes off which I missed at first and B1 does go down.

Round 3, Initiative 13, Location K6 -> K7

Atol presses the attack with the spiritual cudgel against the beast.
Spiritual Cudgel 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 for 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 points of damage with a miss chance 1d100 ⇒ 96.

He then steps up and swings his brand new sparkly cudgel at B3 around the door (hard cover?) to try and free up Finneas to attack the beast as well.

Cudgel 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 - 4 = 2 for 1d8 ⇒ 5 points of damage.

"This melee attacking is hard. I don't know how you guys make it look so easy!"

Round 3, Init 11

Dyrant stares at the big goon, wondering how it got so goony, hairy, and ugly.

He then turns his attention away from Finn and towards the half-orc baboon and gives it an icy stare.

(7 rounds/1round on Will save DC 16) Inflict penalties (-2 to AC, attacks, saves, or skills). Choosing -2 on all its AC.

"Remember to use silver."

Round 4, Init 22 {O7}

I'm posting a bit early, as I'll be busy for a chunk of the day. Pretty sure this'll be accurate unless A spontaneously combusts.

Toffitt edges to his right, maintaining flank with Glimmil. He drops his blade and pulls out his divinely wrought (thanks to Atol) silver hammer. "Surrender yourself into our care, and I will make every effort to suppress this terrible curse. Continue to fight us, and we will pound you into a pile of broken bones."

He then sets to work bashing the creature's kneecap.

Hammer 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13 (+3 bab, +5 dex, +1 mstrwk, +2 flank)
1d6 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (6, 6) = 17

"Consider this a warning swing..."

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 - Save
EDIT: -2, still saves :)

Need a miss chance Toffitt.

Oops. But I think 13 misses anyway...?

1d100 ⇒ 91 1-20 misses

The half orc baboon laughs. "Surrender? Lay down your weapons and we will only take your stuff. Continue and you will be lizard food!" He then clobbers Glimmil again and takes a 5' step towards Finneas. A baboon tries to bite Finneas without luck, but then the door next to Finneas explodes open as a baboon smashes his way in.

Down the steps another man clad in chaimail and wearing a red sash enters the fray and slices Glimmil on the neck dangerously close to his throat. Another one steps up and misses Glimmil. They are followed by two men in studded leather with red sashes that try to tumble into the fray. Not enough movement left for an attack and they both provoke from Glimmil & Cog.

Two men come up the stairs from below and begin to swing at Toffitt without any luck. The second one (CH3) trusts in his chainmail to protect him as he provokes from Toffitt. Two men in studded leather can be seen waiting on the stairs behind Toffitt.

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
2d4 + 10 ⇒ (1, 2) + 10 = 13 damage to Glimmil
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 B3
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 - door - B4
1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 4 = 4 B5 around corner
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 - CH1
1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 damage to Glimmil
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 - no confirm barely
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 - CH2
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 - CH3
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 - CH4
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 - SL1 tumble
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 - SL2 tumble

I'm noticing a trend in this mod.

A - (-2 to saves, -2 AC this round only, -5 Atol, + Toffit next round)
B1 - down
B2 - down
B3 (-6 Glimmil)

Party is up

Round 4
Others = 26
Toffitt = 22 - Hits. AC was 13 this round after Dyrant's hex, size, and raging.
Finneas = 21
Glimmil = 15
Atol = 13
Dyrant = 11

New Map

Round 4 AoOs at Init 26

Glimmil and Cog's AoOs against the first guy they can...

Glimmil attack (hammer, defensively): 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 8 - 4 = 5
Glimmil damage (hammer): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Cog attack (bite, power): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Cog damage (bite, power): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Round 4, Init 15

Darned orc-ape is quicker than he looks!

Just posting the AoOs, need a few minutes to meditate on Glimmil's action now.

Glimmil: 7/42HP
Cog: 28/28HP

Round 4, Initiative 13, Location K7->J7

"Get away from Glimmil you St. Cuthbert hating bad men!"
I must get to Glimmil to heal him.

On seeing all the new combatants, Atol takes a step back and casts Sound Burst through the doorway for 1d8 ⇒ 8 points of damage.

Positioned right, I think I can capture A, CH1, SL2, CH4, CH3, and SL3 in the 10' radius.
Sound Burst: You blast an area with a tremendous cacophony. Every creature in the area takes 1d8 points of sonic damage and must succeed on a Fortitude save to avoid being stunned for 1 round. Creatures that cannot hear are not stunned but are still damaged. DC: 17 from Atol

I like this spell. Dyrant was wise to recommend it to me! I must pay closer attention to his teachings.

Round, Init 15 Continued

"Garl, help us through this!" Glimmil calls, praying for divine assistance as the enemies mass against them.

Turning on Smite Evil vs the large orc-ape. Add +4 more damage is for some reason he's an outsider or undead. :)

Fight with combat-trained mount (Ride DC10): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Glimmil attack (hammer, power, defensively, flank): 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 3 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 2 + 3 - 4 + 2 = 15
Glimmil damage (hammer, power): 1d6 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 4 = 14

Cog attack (bite, power): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Cog damage (bite, power): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Cog trip: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

After swinging, Glimmil and Cog back up to (M,4) with a 5ft step.

Glimmil's AC is now 29.

One more thing for the round as I realized Lay Hands is a swift action, and Glimmil still has a move action left he can convert to a swift!

Lay Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Status:
Glimmil: 11/42HP
Cog: 28/28HP
Lay Hands Used: 2

Sorry friend, Lay on Hands and Smite evil are both swift actions so it's one or the other. :(

I added the lay on hands, so if it's not allowed, that one goes. But wouldn't this work in action use...?

Swift: Turn on Smite
Standard: Attack
Free: Take a 5ft Step
Move: Convert to a 2nd Swift Action for Lay on Hands

Because I also forgot in the excitement...

Glimmil vs Blur: 1d100 ⇒ 66

In Painlord's mind, Dyrant does a slow clap 'braaa-vooh' for Glim's imitation of a Dr. Toffee attack post. Only 4 posts though...not quite Toffee level...keep practicing Glim, you'll get it!

OK, well here's the 5th post to fully embrace Toffittism... quick rule scan doesn't say anything about converting another action to a swift. The forums seems to imply that a swift action is one per round with a "6 seconds to recharge" mechanic, and you can't even convert a full round action to get a 2nd one!

Not sure why I would've thought I could use Lay Hands still... *cough* Dyrant *cough*

Reversing the Lay on Hands use:

Status:
Glimmil: 7/42HP

Yikes! Cat's away and baboons will play... My AoC on chainmail guy. Your help appreciated in determining whether I have flank.

Light hammer 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 +1 multiple foes, +2 flank
1d6 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (3, 3) = 9

Nice sound burst. That'll buy some time. Saves (DC 17?):

A - 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 2 = 14
CH1 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
CH3 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
SL2 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
SL3 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Edit: forgot CH4's save and had wrong mods for others 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Edit 2: No flank/sneak for Toffitt.

Round 4 Init 21

Next time I vote we let the hostages die and clear the place room by room before right to the leader.

"More baboons, are you kidding me?"

Finneas swings at the leader, hoping to demoralize the men.

Silver Morningstar Power Attack Divine Favor Two Handed @ A
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 161d8 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 161d100 ⇒ 75

Don't forget the 8hp damage even if they make the save. :) It's the most damage Atol's ever done in a round!

Round 4, Init 11

Dyrant smiles and puts his hand on Atol's back as he steps to J7. Seeing the glowing cudgel of St. Cuthbert laying down mad cudgels at the lycanthrope and then the holy sound of St. Cuthbert's roar pulverizing his enemies as directed by Atol, Dyrant cheers Atol's mastery of the gifts of St. Cuthbert.

"Huzzah, Atol. HUZZAH! We will smite these sinners unto contrition."

Following Atol's example, Dyrant will reach to his neck and pull off a middle-sized bead (4d6) from around his neck.

Dyrant tosses the bead to PQ:5/6, as far back and up into the room as he can.

4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 1, 6) = 16 Fireball damage, DC 13 Reflex

Don't forget the 8hp damage even if they make the save. :) It's the most damage Atol's ever done in a round!

Don't forget your Spiritual Cudgel.

The large blurry half orc baboon stares into space with its falchion dropped on the ground as Finneas smashes it's head. It falls with a thud in the middle of the room. An already chaotic scene erupts into utter bedlam as the baboons screech loudly.

Did the large orc-ape drop from Finn's blow before Glimmil acted at Init 15? I'm not even remotely sure how I'd revise my round ;)

EDIT - Probably would use lay hands instead of smite and still move SW over the orc-ape instead of W, while swinging at one of the mooks.

A 1d20 ⇒ 11
CH1 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
CH2 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 - 1/2

SL2 1d20 + 6 - 3 ⇒ (12) + 6 - 3 = 15 - 1/2

A - Stunned (-2 to saves, -2 AC this round only, -5 Atol, -17 Toffitt, -16 Finneas, - 14 Glimmil, -8 Atol, -16 Dyrant)

I think I got it all right. Round 5 to follow. By initiative order, the half orc baboon would not have dropped until Atol's turn.

GM Chris: see this fireball template image of the blast radius, if necessary. Glim made it...not sure it helps or not for determining who gets hit.

A baboon tears into Finneas as his leader falls down beside him. The baboons in the courtyard try to get at Finneas also, but have no luck.

A chainmail fighter steps up to Glimmil and misses while one in studded leather tumbles past Glimmil into a flank, but misses.

Finally, the remaining fighters converge on Toffitt, but miss.

B3 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 2 = 27
1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
B4 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9

Glimmil = 15
Atol = 13

And nicely done BTW.

New Map

Hey don't drag Glim into this! Chris will know, err, think - we're conspiring!

Most likely if you hit the ceiling above that dish cabinet, you'll blow up some really important spoons for Glim's collection as punishment.

Round 5, Init "Glimmil"

Glimmil leaps off Cog towards the baboon flanking Finneas, swinging his little hammer at the monkey while trusting Cog to continue to bite at the bad men.

Swift Dismount (Ride DC20): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
* Glimmil dismounts as a free action into (L,5)

Glimmil attack (hammer, power, flank): 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 = 26
Glimmil damage (hammer, power): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Cog bites at SL1, who is now flanking his master.

Cog attack (bite, power): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Cog damage (bite, power): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Cog trip: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

EDIT - Added Glimmil's round.

EDIT #2, yay good rolls, adding Cog's Crit Confirm:

Cog crit confirm (bite, power): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Cog crit damage (bite, power): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Oh damn!

GM Chris: see this fireball template image of the blast radius, if necessary. Glim made it...not sure it helps or not for determining who gets hit.

That's an older map. Toffitt was hit also then. I was only counting 15' for some reason.

SL1's save 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 - Saves. Takes 8

Hey don't drag Glim into this! Chris will know, err, think - we're conspiring!

Most likely if you hit the ceiling above that dish cabinet, you'll blow up some really important spoons for Glim's collection as punishment.

Maybe that too, but I'm currently checking to see if I can make Dyrant cry.

OK I'm going to stop editing that post. I forgot to use the swift action to Lay Hands finally, I just didn't want to continue my Toffittitis trend.

The fireball really heated up the dice, let's see if it continues...

Lay Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Status:
Glimmil: 12/42HP

Lay Hands Used Today: 2

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 - Handy haversack fails saving throw. How many hit points does a sack have?

@Chris: Where do I mail your check for only rolling 2d4 for the large-sized falchion against Glimmil instead of the large version?

FWIW, I didn't realize the damage dice was incorrect until just now when Dyrant and I were discussing the epic-ness of the fight.

... and this shouldn't count as Toffitt-itis since it's not revising Glimmil's actions.

1d20+6 - Handy haversack fails saving throw. How many hit points does a sack have?

It looks like 5 HP's for leather.

Did he roll a 1 on his save then? Otherwise it should be fine...

I added the additional strength, but did forget the enlarged weapon should have been 2d6 instead of 2d4. It's not worth going back for at this point. Only high rolls on every dice would have taken Glimmil down. However, if you're curious or really want to play Glimmil at the edge, Glimmil is currenlty down and bleeding out with the other hits.

2d4 + 10 ⇒ (1, 2) + 10 = 13 damage to Glimmil
2d4 + 10 ⇒ (4, 1) + 10 = 15 damage

2d6 + 10 ⇒ (6, 6) + 10 = 22
2d6 + 10 ⇒ (6, 3) + 10 = 19

Just let me know.

Fireball save 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

By initiative and by posting order, he was dead/dead. No saving throw for the now unattended item.
