Strange Aeons

Game Master Nayr Trebrot

"Ya fool," Cerio scolds, but he makes no move to flee. "Here, drink it." He hands the potion of cure moderate wounds to Ulfric.

"Not going anywhere," T'eron mutters, realizing that his statement could be interpreted another way.

Guzzling one of my CLW potions

Potion of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Silence continues to cover the room, making you possibly even more on edge than you were before. Each of you jump nearly out of your skin when you hear a scream come from the East. It sounds quite far away, but agonized. It ends in a wet gurgle.

It seems to come from the you came...from the cultist camp.

The Tatterman?? We cannot go help if we cannot help our selves here first. Heal yourselves if you can!

CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 6) + 3 = 12

Ulfric quaffs the potion Cerio's hands him. "I needed that."

"Let's be on our way then." Ulfric says and leads the way back to the camp.

Campus channels healing power in the room. Pulls out a scroll for some personal healing.

Channel Heal: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7
CLW Scroll: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Thank you, feeling better already," T'eron says to Campus with a nod of gratitude, then turns to follow Ulfric back to the camp.

Counting this guys hit points is a full time job!

After Campus's healing, you rush towards the horrified screaming, heading through the bag lady's room and down the stairs towards the cultist camp. When you near the bottom of the stairs, you can see that those in the camp are in a frantic rush to escape. The Tatterman stands near the base of the steps, his bloody scalpel out and a man at his feet. The man kneels and seems to be shocked as his guts slither out over his hands and onto the floor. The Tatterman wheezes in an otherworldly manner as he stands up from the kill and looks for more victims. His eyes track to the north...and to the medical area where Wren Elbourne cares for several of the camp's injured

acid splash, ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
dmg: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Cerio tries to attack, but he's so shocked his conjured acid merely splatters at his feet.

Ulfric sees the Tatterman, and sprints into action. "Flee while you can!" He yells at any nearby cultists as he charges the Tatterman. As he brings his blade down, Ulfric feels it bite deep.

Longsword with Charge: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 2 = 29
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Longsword with Charge crit?: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 = 19
Damage crit?: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Dang, great hit! Unfortunately missed a crit by one though.

Cerio's attack splashes out even as Ulfric launches in to swing his sword. The blade hits home and, though the strange rags seem to protect against much of the blow, some of the damage from it seems to go through.

T'eron, aiming to pick up where he left off, charges the Tatterman with a (hopefully) mighty swing.

Greatsword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 1) + 8 = 14
Power Attack + Furious Focus + Two-Handed

Campus moves in and thrusts her spear violently.

Attack+Power: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 1 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 3 = 11

T'eron swings, but the creature slithers underneath the blow. It comes up to be skewered upon Campus's spear. Hissing, the Tatterman turns, and runs towards the southern door. Withdrawl action.

He is heading towards the doors to head out towards the front doors...or perhaps towards Winter and her people.

Obstacle: 1d10 ⇒ 4

Chase is on! I'm not about to try the chase mechanics, but I want to add some element of chance. If you're chasing at your top speed, please roll a 1d10 with your move. I'll determine if there's an obstacle that you have to get past, and the check needed to do so.
His obstacle is a makeshift bed that he has to leap over, and he has to hit a DC12 acrobatics or lose a move action. Everyone's up!

DC12 acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Cool idea! I like it!

He's running.

Cerio leaps out from behind the corner where he'd been lurking, launching a ball of acid at the monster.

Cerio moves 10ft and fires an acid splash.

acid splash, ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
dmg: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Campus breaks into a full run chasing the outsider. Only a matter of time now, tattered man!
TopSpeed: 1d10 ⇒ 10

Muahahaha! The dreaded 10! Nah, just kidding; actually 9-10 is "hidden shortcut" - DC15 perception check to advance 10' beyond your normal movement

Campus writhes, avoiding obstacles, bounces off a doorway deftly and picks up speed!
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

T'eron, breaking into a sprint, charges down the center of the room.

TopSpeed: 1d10 ⇒ 8

I'm sorry! I saw this Friday and went 'I need to post!' and then promptly forgot because there was no more (new) tag...

Ulfric goes after T'eron and the Tatterman, sprint as hard as he can!

Top Speed: 1d10 ⇒ 7 Lucky number 7?

No worries Ulfric, and sorry for not updating prior! So, you and T'eron both get the "7-8" result, which is Slippery floor! That's a DC14 reflex save or lose 10 feet of movement!

Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

No slipping with these Klahs!

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

As Ulfric tries to close the distance, he slips on... some fluid he would much rather not think about or identify. Regaining his foothold he sees T'eron and the Tatterman move ahead of him.

Okay, that worked out really well for you guys. Check the new map; essentially, T'eron and Campus had enough move to get in front of him - T'eron because he started more to south, and Campus because of her 40' movement and bonus roll. Do you want to ready an attack if he moves through you, or move to a different spot?

Campus turns and wildoy stabs at the Tatterman across the bed.
Attack+Power: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 1 + 1 = 7
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 3 + 1 = 12

When my turn is up:

Cerio runs south, keeping next to the wall. He stops due east of the Tatterman, launching another bolt of acid.

acid splash, ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
dmg: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Remaining by the door works well for me, no changes required. Will use Quick Draw if the Tatterman moves through me

The Tatterman runs on, his route directly through the doors to the south. When he gets close, Campus drives out her spear, but the lithe creature snakes aside.

T'eron, go ahead and take your AOO if you like

T'eron draws his sword and swipes at the Tatterman as he runs through the door.

Greatsword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 3) + 8 = 14
Power Attack + Furious Focus + Two-Handed

T'eron sweeps out his sword horizontally, but the Tatterman slithers under it and moves towards the doors.

Chase back on! Roll 1d10 with your movement pls

1d10 ⇒ 6

Doesn't make a ton of sense, but that's Push on through! DC12 Athletics or lose 10 feet. I guess he has to push through the doors.

Athletics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

The Tatterman moves on, rushing past in his mad run to get...well, you don't know.

Campus, keen to finish this chases the Tatterman adamantly.
Roll: 1d10 ⇒ 9
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

"Oh fer hells' sake!" Cerio takes off behind the rest.

1d10 ⇒ 2

Hidden shortcut again Campus! DC15 perception to find a shortcut and get 10 more feet of movement.

Cerio - that's a narrow gap; DC12 acrobatics check or lose 10 feet of movement!

Ulfric continues the chase, trying to catch up again.

Top Speed: 1d10 ⇒ 6

CMB: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 I think that was the right check

T'eron, having missed the mark with his sword, starts up the chase again.

Move Mod: 1d10 ⇒ 4
CMB: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Thanks for rolling through with them guys; keeps us moving! I placed everyone - Cerio, if you miss your acro check, you'll have to go back 10 feet. Campus, you can get that far with your higher movement and the 10 foot bonus; let me know if you'd like to be somewhere else. T'eron and Campus can set up and roll AOO's as he moves past or away. Of course, if you'd like to go some other way, let me know.

Attack+Power: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 - 1 + 1 = 10
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 3 + 1 = 13

Acrobatics DC 12: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Cerio squeezes through the narrow doorway right behind Ulfric!

continuing to move if necesssary.
1d10 ⇒ 8

Slippery floor?

Reflex DC 14: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

T'eron bursts through the door, keeping pace with Tatterman, ready to strike if the opportunity presents itself.

Move Mod: 1d10 ⇒ 10
Greatsword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 6) + 8 = 20

Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
In case of a slippery floor again

I think it is the Tatterman's turn, but here are my actions in case you are waiting on me.

Ulfric continues the chase running as fast as he can after the Tatterman.

Running: 1d10 ⇒ 1 Hmmm...

1d10 ⇒ 5

The Tatterman drives through the roadblock, weaving in between the attacks of Campus and T'eron as he slithers past. Without looking back in question, the living nightmare drives on past them to the south.

Push on through CMB: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

T'eron - 9-10 is "hidden shortcut" - DC15 perception check to advance 10' beyond your normal movement. Ulfric, that's a narrow gap; DC12 acrobatics check or lose 10 feet of movement. Campus, go ahead and do yours if you please, or do something else if you like. Cerio - quite right, and you succeed!

All good, thanks Ulfric; you were waiting on me.

Roll: 1d10 ⇒ 4

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Moved the extra 10' on the map

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (6) + 1 - 5 = 2

Ulfric stumbles, misjudging a gap and getting caught in it. Forcing his way through he sees himself falling behind.

Campus, that's a DC 12 acrobatics check for an obstacle you have to leap over - rubble in the hallway!

Campus chases, while deftly leaping over rubble and rubbish..
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Hoping I translated that right; had to bring in another map. See attached for where you are in relation to the Tatterman. If you don't stop him now, he's out the door! Everyone can act; may have to try something unconventional if you have something!

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 - 1 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 3 = 14

We need to keep him here...

Ulfric sprints forward, trying to close with the Tatterman, dropping his weapon and shield as he gets close.

Sprinting to get adjacent to the Tatterman.
