TOZ's The Devil We Know I Core Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master TriOmegaZero

Belgrim will switch to his sword and shield before headed no down. He looks to the others,

I will go first, just in case

The sorcerer will follow the dwarf.

Zhang and Wilka await the findings of their allies, but as Belgrim and Daereon move down the stairs, the two Pathfinders above hear a third set of footsteps below.

24 Daereon
24 Zhang
17 B
12 A
10 Belgrim
8 Wilka

Zhang is up in the surprise round, Wilka will be acting after the bad guys, one action each.

Zhang starts his performance humming tune,

Insert Pirates of the Caribbean montage song.

Punch on Belgrim: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

From around the corner of the stairs, a bare-chested half-orc steps up to Belgrim. He throws a meaty fist at the dwarf, but takes a chunk of the railing out instead. From the darkness, a second half-orc moves in, fists up and ready for a fight.

24 Daereon
24 Zhang
17 B
12 A
10 Belgrim
8 Wilka

Do you want me to post an action now or wait?

Feel free, as I doubt Wilka's action will invalidate yours.

Is the half orc on the map?

Yes. Daereon has the cover of the stairs from the one adjacent to him.

Thanks. Just so I am reading it right, the half orc next to the dwarf is on the same level that we are and the other one next to him is higher or lower?

Belgrim and the halforcs are in the hold, Daereon is on the stairs slightly higher and benefiting from cover. Belgrim also has cover from the one around the stairs.

The half elf will attempt to daze the half-orc giving the dwarf problems

DC 12

Wylka continues to stand guard a top the stairs, unsure what is going on below.

Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

The half-orc shakes his head, glaring at the half-elf. "Get the wizard!" he yells to his ally.

24 Daereon
24 Zhang
17 Green
12 Red
10 Belgrim
8 Wilka

Zhang is up!

Zhang yells.

"Don't start the fun without me!"

Then he tumbles down the stairs over Daeron, Belgrim, and the half Orc to the space behind the red slaver. Flanking with Belgrim.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Zhang manages to dodge through the narrow gap and come up behind the brawler, leading the thug to round on him as his companion continues to harass Belgrim. Even flat-footed as the dwarf is, none of the heavy blows strike home. Zhang however catches a blow to the head, rocking the half-elf hard.

Punch on Belgrim: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

10 Belgrim
8 Wilka

Belgrim and Wilka have their full round to act. Zhang, let me know if you want to reroll that save.

Belgrim doesn't react to the incoming fists, but happily watches them pound on his armor and shield. He retaliates with a slice from his sword.

AC 19: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 81d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Finally hearing the battle below, he starts heading down just in time to see Zhang get hurt badly. Not able to pass the others to enter the fray, he instead takes his holy symbol in hand and focuses his divine aura outward to heal Zhang and hope he is not healing any enemies.

Channel Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Heals 3HP in 30' radius (3 CE left)

The chained Taldans and other captives begin to clamor, yelling for the party to pound their captors into the floor. The half-orcs squint slightly in the light of the Pathfinders magic, but appear undeterred.

24 Daereon
24 Zhang (3 Damage)
17 Green
12 Red
10 Belgrim
8 Wilka

Daereon is up.

drat, the spell didn't work, lol. typing on my phone right now, a few posts to get er done, lol

The half-elf will begin casting a spell to summon a celestial eagle to help even the odds.

1 round action

"I'll get him."

Zhang swings at the red Half-Orc

Short Sword: 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 + 2 + 1 = 14

Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Zhang, did you want to reroll that Fort save from before?

No

Fort: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

No, or yes? *confused*

LOL

No, I did not reroll yet. Hence the reroll.

Zhang almost goes crosseyed at the punch, but shakes it off to move in and deal a bleeding cut to the burly orcs back. Glaring at the half-elf, he says something to his companion.

Punch on Belgrim: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Punch on Zhang: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Punch on Daereon: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18
Punch on Daereon: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (12) - 2 = 10
Damage on Daereon: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Even with the cover of the stairs, a blow lands, threatening Daereon's concentration.

24 Daereon (4 Damage)
24 Zhang (3 Damage)
17 Green
12 Red (3 Damage)
10 Belgrim
8 Wilka

Belgrim and Wilka are up. Daereon needs a concentration check to keep his spell.

concentration 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Not able to move further down the stairs, Wylka does what he can only do so far and puts his hand on Daereon's shoulder. Granting him a Bit of Luck.

For Daereon's next d20 roll he can roll 2d20 and take the highest d20 roll.

I ain't gonna go down that easy little man as he watches fists clang armor. He than takes a swing of his own against the man with split attention.

1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 121d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Daereon focuses against the stinging impact and manages to complete the spell as Belgrim trades narrow misses with his partner!

My turn again?

That is what the bold text means, yes.

Summoning the eagle behind the man attacking him in order to get a flank the half-elf and the eagle will attack the half orc.

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The eagle will attempt to attack and smite the half-orc with the bite

2 talons 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

damage 1d4 ⇒ 1
1d4 ⇒ 1

Bite 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
[die] 1d4+1 [/dice]

Don't forget Daereon, you got Bit of Luck for this round. You can roll another d20 on your attack roll and take the highest score.

Ok

Bit of luck 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"Die Orc scum!"

Short Sword: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 19

Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7

Daereon and his eagle tear into their foe with savage strikes as Zhang lays open the other half-orc. Both warriors stagger under the assault, but remain standing. But only for a moment, as each takes one final swing before pitching to the deck. Zhang takes a heavy fist to the jaw, sending him flying to the floor where he lays unmoving.

Daereon (4 Damage)
Zhang (11 Damage, Unconscious)

Zhang takes an unforunate final hit! Combat is over, let me know how you proceed.

Seeing the half elf go down the sorcerer will say a quick prayer to the Inheritor to send her healing power down to him as a burst of light erupts from his hand, a heavenly light heals the bard.
1d4 ⇒ 3

Seeing Daereon heal Zhang immediately he holds off using his healing ability until they can get in better position.

"Drag the foes bodies away and I'll heal Daereon and Zhang but if I do it now, I risk healing enemy too."

Now that the battle has ended, as the party pulls the half-orcs aside, they can see one bears a wayfinder tied to his belt.

Did we kill them or are they knocked out?

Both appear to still be breathing, but blood oozes from their wounds.

With the enemy out of range, Wylka moves over to the injured Zhang and makes sure Daereon is still close by, he then focuses on his holy symbol and releases his divine powers.

Channel Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Channel Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Wylka watches with satisfaction as both are completely healed. But concerned he only has one more heal left in him.

The half-elf will bind the wounds of the half-orcs.

"Wow that was a close one."

The sorcerer nods at the bard's comment.

"I didn't get to do much for that battle, but at least we won without losing anyone."

With everyone healed, Wylka goes about freeing the prisoners and asking if they are alright.
