Tales from the City of Opal

Game Master Patrick Curtin

San's actions kind of depend on how many are around him (he starts in (q26):

If he can catch two or more in the area of effect, he'll cast a burning hands spell - DC 15, damage 4d4 ⇒ (3, 3, 2, 4) = 12

Otherwise, he'll attack the nearest with Ghostfetter, activating arcane strike first. attack 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 damage 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 1) + 8 = 14

Initiatives rd 1:
Joleesa: 26
Izkrael: 22 [Atk-Hit-Kill]
Egan: 21 [Atk-Hit-Kill]
Vilya: 21
Sanvoros: 20 [Ghostfetter]
Seven Eagle: 20 [Bardchant +1 ATK/DAM/Charm/Fear]
Tobias: 20 [Magic missile]
Ten: 19 [Godbomb-drops three]
Ghouls:7 [yes seven. Lame I know..]

The snarling ghouls are met with the sharp attacks of the party. Egan snaps an arrow off at a charging beast, it punctures the thing's eye, turning its forward run into a tumble. It twitches and lies still.

San sees a ghoul pop up behind him. He takes a step 5ft and lashes out with Ghostfetter. The ghoul goes tumbling back into the pit, minus a head. I went with this because Ten is about to godbomb your location

Seven Eagle begins to chant, and the party feels heartened by his strong voice Don't forget your plusses!

Tobias' arcane bolt streaks across the pit and hits a ghoul charging in from the east corridor .N28 The fiend shreiks and keeps on running.

Ten lifts his mug and a wave of beery power foams all over the room.

Gh WS:

Two of the three ghouls charging from the south drop, the third lopes on, its face showing heavy damage from the energy.

OK Vilya and Jo to go!

>MAP<

Errata post: Egan, I just noticed your posted intention to move to the upper right corner, H28. Assume you have and I will update your token next map..

Further errata post: Upon rereading the channel energy entry in the PRD, it is actually an omnidirectional energy blast, so now M29, N28, L25 are affected as well.

Gh WS:

The wave of positive energy causes one more ghoul to drop to the ground M29. The cannibal undead that Tobias singed earlier is still moving, but much more jerkily. The third comes on strong, howling in pain.

Vilya draws her axe and kukri, and sprints towards the nearest ghoul.

Moves to Q23
Handaxe: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
+1 blurstrike kukri 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Another natural 1? I swear...

Your handaxe hit, but you didn't gimmie damage. I'll roll it for you ..

Handaxe damage:1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Vilya springs towards the ghoul racing to Ten and slashes its neck with her axe. The ghoul collapses suddenly, throwing her balance off for her second strike.

Gimmie a confirm fumble roll Vilya, and I'll pick a card for you if it comes up comfirmed :(

JOLESSA! BATTER UP!

JOLESSA! BATTER UP!

Gah! Sorry Guys. Another Craptacular week at work meant restricted Net time for me yet again. :( Really sorry.

Joleesa moves to the left of the pit, skirting the wall and coming up just short of the creatures coming from the left hand tunnel.

Moves to i22, drawing Raptorstrike as she goes.

Posted my action above. Can you jump on FB for 2 secs if you have the chance I have a question to ask you regarding Joleesa. :)

Jumping ..

1d20 ⇒ 16

Jo runs into the room, squaring off with an odd-looking ghoul. Unlike the others, this one has a row of spines running down its back and a vestigal tail with a small scorpion-like stinger attached.

Vilya manages to avoid any pratfalls from her misguided blow.

The ghouls snarl and attack

ON EGAN:

ON SAN:

ON IZ:

ON JOLESSA:

OK, one hit on San, rolling for crit confirm:

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

OK, then a pull of the deck of crits reveals ...

San's opponent slashes him deep on the arm. He attempts to block the hit, but is unsuccessful. Ghostfetter goes flying from the force of the ghoul's blow, hitting the floor with a clang.

BAD PARRY: Double damage and weapon is dropped to ground

14 HP damage and I'll need a DC 14 Fort save San please.

The other ghouls fail to pierce the party's defenses.

NEW ROUND!

>UPDATED MAP<

Fort save 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 add another +1 vs the special abilities of undead

And as a note, I believe the 'powers that be' ruled that half-elves, like elves, are immune to ghoul paralysis ... here it is

Fort save 1d20+4 add another +1 vs the special abilities of undead

And as a note, I believe the 'powers that be' ruled that half-elves, like elves, are immune to ghoul paralysis ... here it is

Gotcha! OK, anyone of elven ancestry part or whole, no rolling Fort Saves (Unless by chance you go up on Jolessa's opponent)

That doesn't sound good...

Tobias sends another bolt of force from his wand at San's opponent.

Magic Missile on the one San's fighting: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Unwilling to give up his corner, Egan drops his longbow, and draws his Battleaxe.

Battle Axe Attack (1d20+5=24)

Battle Axe Damage (1d8+1=6)

Gee Whiz! What were all those attacks on Egan?

Gee Whiz! What were all those attacks on Egan?

Claw-claw-bite?

Joleesa sees the strange Ghoul coming at her and easily avoids his attacks. She returns the attack with Raptorstrike.

Attack Strange Ghoul with Raptorstrike: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Initiatives rd 2:
Joleesa: 26 [hit-wound]
Izkrael: 22

Sanvoros: 20
Seven Eagle: 20 [Bardchant +1 ATK/DAM/Charm/Fear]
Tobias: 20 [Magic missile-kill]
Ten: 19
Ghouls:7 [attacking]

Egan lands a solid blow against his filthy rancid-smelling opponent. Tobias' arcane bolt strikes San's opponent, causing him to twitch. He stumbles and falls into the nearby pit howling.

Seven Eagle keeps up his chanting

Don't forget you all get +1 ATK/DAM/Charm/Fear

The strange ghoul giggles and howls as Jolessa's weapon carves into his leathery flesh.

Don't forget you all get +1 ATK/DAM/Charm/Fear

Yeah I did... :/

Please add another +1 Damage onto my roll above.

LOL, well the silent DMPC bard should be good for something, right?

"Thanks, Tobias!" exclaims San, as he reaches down to grab Ghostfetter. His bonded item back in-hand, San turns and fires off his own brace of magic missiles striking the stronger-appearing ghoul fighting Joleesa (he knows his friend Izkrael can handle the single ghoul he's facing).

damage 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Izkrael swings at the ghoul in front of him.

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 162d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 1) + 6 = 12

If the attack drops the ghoul, Izkrael will move towards the strange ghoul attacking Joleesa. (Moving to I-23.)

Iz's gleaming curve blade slices through the neck of his howling opponent. He vaults towards Jolessa and her spiny foe. San's arcane bolts strike the odd ghoul, the arcane energy juddering the tailed undead.

Are they all dead?

Ten Foot looks round in the flickering light allowing his darkvision to take over while he takes count of their opponents.

Jo's and Egan's are still up

Catching sight of the remaining two undead scum, Ten Foot spits on the floor and heads in there direction gripping his axe.

I can get to i23 as a double move.

Iz beat you to the punch ..

Ten races to Jo's side, but Iz takes up the spot he was aiming for

Just need an action from Vilya and we can get this paahty stahted!

Vilya bum-rushes the nearest ghoul, attempting to separate its head and limbs from its torso.

+1 blurstrike kukri: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Handaxe: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Vilya bum-rushes the nearest ghoul, attempting to separate its head and limbs from its torso.

+1 blurstrike kukri: 1d20+3
Handaxe: 1d20+2

Vilya, I have to ask, how are you getting two attacks when moving more than a 5' step? Normally the two weapon fighting is a full action

I have to agree with Egan on this one. I can't see a way you can move like that and get both attacks

Further looking at the map: The closest ghoul still up is Jo's strange foe, 45' from your location. I believe that would entail a double move for you this round...

Ten: 19 [Double move to J23??]
Ghouls:7 [attacking]

Jo's spined foe snarls and lashes out at her with filthy claws and a mouth full of jagged teeth.

Egan's smaller opponent tries to wound him as well:

Jo's snarling nemesis hits with one claw, the long ragged nails drawing a line of fire across her side.

Need a DC 14 Fort Save Jo

Egan's foe gets lucky and a claw and a bite pierce the plucky ranger's defenses.

Since you are half elven no fort save needed ..

Vilya races to Jo's side along with most of the others

New round! Post 'em! Will update map ASAP

Egan is reminded once again why he avoids close combat. The wounds sting enough, but the smell is enough to make him gag. Oh well the faster he dispenses this thing the faster he can get some fresh air.

Battleaxe Attack (1d20+5=9) "Ouch"! "Get your teeth out of my weapon arm", Egan states with exasperation, while attempting to shake loose the Ghoul's ferocious bite.

Tobias points his wand at the ghoul attacking Egan, and another bolt of energy lances out.

Another use of the wand: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

DC14 Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Joleesa grunts in pain as the thing's long claws draw blood. She retaliates with Raptorstrike.

Attack Strange Ghoul with Raptorstrike: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Ten Foot will moves into i25 and attempts to cleave to the head off the undead monstrosity.

+1 Greataxe Sacred Burst [Cyndrig the Fiendhacker] : +8 1d12+7 (x3)
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 101d12 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Extra undead damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

EDIT: Roll of a natural 1, Critical fumble roll: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Izkrael calls out for the Feathered Serpent to help him vanquish this foe, and then he swings with his blade, which starts to corruscate with a blue and gold light.
Smite on the uber-ghoul: +3 to hit, +6 to damage vs. undead, +3 to AC vs. uber-ghoul
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 302d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 4) + 12 = 20

San will target the ghoul attacking Jo with a disrupt undead, then take a move action to get as close to them as he can.

ranged touch 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 not sure if the -4 for firing into melee applies or not, since I don't care if I hit a friend as this won't hurt them, but if so, take another 4 off the result

damage 1d6 ⇒ 1

Initiatives rd 3:
Joleesa: 26 [miss-need fumble roll]
Izkrael: 22 [whackedy sax]
Egan: 21 [swing anna miss]
Vilya: 21 [using previous roll-hit/miss]
Sanvoros: 20 [DU-miss]
Seven Eagle: 20 [Bardchant +1 ATK/DAM/Charm/Fear]
Tobias: 20 [Mag missile]
Ten: 19 [swing anna miss]
Ghouls:7 [attacking]

Iz's deadly curved blade flashes like a beacon of purity, carving down into the foul ghoul's neck, breaking its collarbone.

The ghoul screeches as the sacred power electrifies its undead body. It falls to the ground, truly dead. A faint shiff of sulphur eminates from the corpse. Vilya's handaxe bites deep also as it falls, but the congestion around the spiny ghoul causes Ten, San and Jolessa to swing wide with their attacks.

Jolessa, need a confirm roll on that bad hop you posted

Egan's foe ruins his next attack, the pain of the thing's teeth gnawing his arm throwing him off balance. Tobias' glowing arrow of arcane energy flashes by Egan's head. It strikes the ghoul, throwing it back and breaking its terrier-like hold on Egan's arm. The rancid undead hisses and comes at Egan once again.

Ghoul's CCB:

Fumble roll

A black claw whipsaws across Egan's nose, leaving a deep slash as he jinks away from the undead's gnashing fanged jaws. Unfortunately for the ghoul, its other set of claws rakes the wall, throwing limestone chips straight into its bloodshot eyes.

The ghoul is blinded for 1d4 ⇒ 1 round

New round! Post 'em!

I have to agree with Egan on this one. I can't see a way you can move like that and get both attacks

There's a perfectly good reason: I can't do math. That should have read:

+1 blurstrike kukri: 1d20 + 5 = (13) + 5 = 18, with no second attack.

Further looking at the map: The closest ghoul still up is Jo's strange foe, 45' from your location. I believe that would entail a double move for you this round...

I thought there was one between Ten and the pit. If not, double move, no attack. Sorry for all the confusion.

Jolessa, need a confirm roll on that bad hop you posted[/ooc]

uhhh, yeah, sorry... I have no idea how I missed that I rolled a 1... :/

Confirm Critical Fumble: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
I forgot to add the Bard Song bonus to my previous Attack Roll again... :(

Joleesa providing she can sees the strange Ghoul go down and moves forward to engage the creature trying to make a meal of Egan.

Attack Ghoul with Raptorstrike: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

EDIT: Fnck me! This Dice Roller hates me almost as much as IC. :(

If San can reach the ghoul attacking Egan, he tries to cleave its head off after using a swift action for Arcane Strike

Ghostfetter 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 damage 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (4, 2) + 9 = 15

EDIT: yeah, I'm on a streak of 1s and 2s myself

Izkrael moves up to the ghoul on Egan, and swings at it, determined to end these abominations' existence.
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 162d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 6 = 9

Ol' Mr ghoul ain't too long on hit points at this juncture, so I'll wrap this one up.

The party rushes to Egan's side and quickly stab the fetid horror he faces to ribbons.

Silence grips the room as the last undead falls. The air is still except for the rapid breathing of the party as they catch their wind.

Actions?
