Shards of the Titanswar

Game Master EldonG

Aya heads back upstairs and then behind the crypt.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Survival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

I think she went this way.

Everybody going out with Varuk and Aya,

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Jun tries to tells the others as silently as possible where she is hiding on top the mound.

I'm assuming everybody is going...right? If so...stealth...and initiative.

Stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Stealth: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (14) - 2 = 12
Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Ok...it's looking like Varuk will be the first to get there, unless he holds back...

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

You creep to the top of the mound...prepared to surprise your quarry...

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Damage: 1d4 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + (4, 5, 2) = 13

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

The dart skids off of Varuk's armor, but the placement would have been horrific!

Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Now in Initiative, 1st round...

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Damage: 1d4 + 3d6 ⇒ (4) + (1, 3, 3) = 11

And this time, the dart strikes home.

Fort save, please, Varuk.

Ugh! This sucks!

Fortitude: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Go ahead and take your action. :)

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Did I see the dart hit Varuk and if so, can I tell where it came from?

Aya points at a nearby mound and yells,
I saw the dart that just hit Varuk come from atop that nearby mound. There must be someone extremely well hidden there behind the stones atop the mound.

Varuk moves back to escape a line of fire. Taking cover behind one of the grave markers. Looking to his sword he says, "Great war-king, bolster me that I may destroy this enemy of yours. So that I may cleave her head from her body and give up her battered carcass in offering to you."

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Antonio nods at Aya. Ditching his torch he takes his cape in his left hand and makes a careful stealthy approach to the mound.
Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Just so the situation is well understood...you guys followed the trail around the mound you came out of...and up it, where she apparently climbed the mound. There are stones atop every crypt-mound...some of which Varuk is hiding behind at the moment. You'd seen her robe behind these stones...from the back...and it's there, and can be seen more easily for those of you still making an approach. Varuk was the first one up, and hit as soon as he got on top. It's a ridiculously easy climb, so I didn't call for rolls.

Hopefully, everyone understands the basics at this point.

Now, Antonio, who hadn't made it up top yet...is approaching the mound Aya says she saw the dart come from...not 10' from the main one.

You doubt anyone has seen you...

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Nope, can't see her yet. He'll crawl closer.
Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Son of a b+&+$.

Aya moves to the side of the mound where she is hiding and to where she can see the old lady. Then she unleashes a ray of frost.
Stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
possible cold damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Jun tries to take shelter to get some cover from attacks (One of the grave markers that is larger if possible) and then casts bless over the party.

Please bot Reiko for a couple of days. Work is going to be hectic because of inventory. Thanks!

Ok.

Reiko also attempts to move up stealthily...

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

The old lady curses and looks for a target.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

After getting a good look at the situation, Reiko looks to be the most promising target...

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Second fort save for Varuk, please.

Reiko Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Ow!...Reiko looks more irritated than anything else.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Varuk slowly collapses...and lies still.

Jun will use his misfortune mystery to allow Varuk another chance at a save

Jun will use his misfortune mystery to allow Varuk another chance at a save

Unfortunately, that's before results are known.

Antonio starts yelling and moving up to make contact. If he can, he'll attack.

dueling sword attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 for a possible 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 piercing damage.

Clambering up the hill, Antonio closes and...though the old lady moves like a cat, the sword slashes deep into her shoulder...

Meddlers! You may have destroyed my life's work, but events are in motion, and they will sweep you up without mercy! My other child...IS COMING!

She laughs manaically, and draws a wicked looking knife...

Jun will go and over to Varuk and try to help him

Heal Check: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Reiko heads up the hill as well, determined to finish this...

Whatever you're babbling about ends HERE!

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

...she slides out of the sword's path like a snake...

The old woman slashes at Antonio...

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Fort save, please.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

Falcon studies the woman. Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
He then moves as close as he can without causing alarm and listens to them. Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
