Sleet Storms ACG-Playtest

Game Master Sleet Storm

initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Do the "step squares" (eg H9) count as difficult terrain or require extra movement to ascend?

Good idea, but no.

Shiro and Olaf are up first.

The statues have spread out BTW Gold is in H-11 ,North is in H-10, West is in I-10, South is in I-11

Shiro walks to h-15 and casts bulls strength on himself

Olaf goes to I-12 and attacks the statue in front of him

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 = 10

Olafs attack chips away at the statue but is less effective than could be expected by such a swing.

With military precision the statues initiate a counter attack...

....Gold strikes at Delsir but misses,North moves to G-12 provoking an AoO from Delsir in the process and hits him for 8 damage.

Is Delsir here?

I don't think so.Looks like we can't even finish a turn with the way we have this organised .:(

We also forgot Delsirs initiative.

AnCapBrony is back. Guess it was a short exam.

Very well then you said you would take over Delsir so roll initiative for him.If hes not up next its Rotons turn.

Delsir init 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Rotton wants to know if these are constructs. Knowledge (arcana):

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Rotton remembers having seen descriptions of similar constructs in a Book before.They are guardians and very durable, the golden one is a special version and rotton remembers that there was a warning about it in the book,...... something about shattering weapons when attacked or something...

Rotton moves 5 feet south to L10 and drops a Glitterdust on H10 to I11, targeting three statues. (The north statue is out of the AoE.) The save DC is Will 19! SR does not apply either.

"Nobody hit the golden one. Not with weapons!"

Gold, West and South fail their saves and are blinded.

South, now temporarily blinded strikes at where it assumes Van olaf to be....

West carefully gropes its way towards J-11

Can you take a 5 foot step diagonally? Delsir wants to do so.

Looked it up, seems a yes. But Delsir doesn't have Precise Shot.

Delsir spends a move action marking the statue at G12 (north) as his favored target and swings his dire flail once at it. He's getting +1 to hit and damage against it.

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Since it doesn't matter if Delsir hits or misses yet...

"I'm calling the gold one!"

Jake spends a move action on martial maneuver to gain Weapon Specialization (unarmed strike). He then moves to H9 and grins at the golden state. Too bad it can't see him.

Yes you can 5-foot step diagonally.Shiro's turn.

Shrio goes to j-13 and spears west

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

made a mistake on olaf's last damage. His is supposed to be 1 higher

olaf drops his sword and draws his morningstar. He two-hands the weapon and attacks south

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

The party attacks the statues ferociously but their attacks seem to lack effectiveness.

Gold swings blindly at Delsir...

...but delsir can deflect the blow.
North tries to assist gold by taking a flanking position,5ft step to H-13 and chops at the now inconvenienced assasin....

By the way, did Delsir hit his target?

Yes he did.

Rotton squeaks at the approaching statue, and sees how much trouble Delsir is in.

Delsir moves to J14, behind Shiro.

Delsir uses Force Strike (2nd arcane point) against the statue directly east of Delsir.

Damage 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

South countinues to hack at Van Olaf...

Delsir is still in a tight spot.

Delsir 5 foot steps to G12, getting out of being flanked. Then he uses a double attack on "North". (The statue at H13, I've relabeled them on my personal map and hope that's right.)

Delsir roars in fury and tries to take revenge. Never mess with an orc!

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Jake takes a 5 foot step to J10 and flurries Goldilocks. +2 damage from temporary specialization. He is now flanking it with Delsir.

Those fools at the dojo said I wasn't refined enough for anything. I'll show them!

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
1d8 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Sorry Jake is at I10.

Gold is in H-11.Delsir is in G-12 thats no flank for Jake.First attack misses second hits.Delsirs second attack against north was a critical threat BTW roll confirmation and damage.

When getting temporary bonuses from flanking, should you add those to the rolls? I didn't for Jake.

Shiro changed grip and smacks the statue at j-12 with his cestus

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

That's where he is on my map too. I have Jake at I10, Gold at H11, and Delsir at G12.

Delsir's crit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Olaf attacks south

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Delsir's extra damage 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Do you not want to start raging? Normally I wouldn't say anything but this being a playtest and all.This is a very though encounter.

i wanted to save it for the final encounter and didn't think i needed it, but i think ill go ahead. ill have olaf use his free action to activate rage and use blur. after that ill be at work now

Summary: Currently round 3.Initiative Order:Shiro,Olaf,Gold,North,Rotton,South West,Delsir,Jake.

Shiro Bulls Strenght,Attacked West 2x,Attack 1 14 damage, Attack 2 6 damage.

Olaf attacked South 3x Attack 1 10 damage,Attack 2 9 damage,Attack 3 14 damage(with Rage)

Rotton cast Glitterdust duration 4 rounds, used force Strike 8 damage against north.

Delsir Attacked North 3x, Attack 1 6 damage , Attacks 2,3 16+8(crit).Took 15 Damage total from attacks against him.

Jake Attacked used Martial Maneuvers for Weapon Spec, Attacked Gold with Flurry damage 29.

Gold turns around to face the new threat presented by Jake,swinging its sword in a wide arc while doing so...

North battered by Delsirs attacks follows him to G-13 and seeks to finish the Slayer...

...and lets his blade bite again.7 damage(22total)

Before Jake and Delsir come up, I wanted to know where they are on your personal map. Keeping Delsir alive is more important, but I'd like to have him flank Gold with Jake if possible.

Delsir H-12, Jake I-10

Rotton uses last arcane point to throw another Force Strike at North.

"Delsir, you might want to move back..."

1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Rotton moves to J17.

I see where the confusion is. I had Delsir move to G12 on his turn (a five foot step).

Also, funnily I used Delsir's name on one of Rotton's post.

Oh, I see now Jake did indeed have a flank against gold with Delsir, that means his 1st attack did hit as well.Updated in the summary.

Sweet! I don't mind if Delsir still got hurt, but I don't think North was flanking him. Also, for Glitterdust "Each round at the end of their turn blinded creatures may attempt new saving throws to end the blindness effect." I thought it was a save as a full round action and assumed you didn't want to spend an action, but apparently not.
