Tervalis Evergreen Arc 1 (Inactive)

Game Master Ietsuna

Oh, a murder room.

Alessio downs an extract of Shield.

Qarma steps through the door, then keeps a wall to her back as she examines the room for anything of note. Each hand moves to a dagger on her belt.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Not sure what the exact hit to perception is, so just take it off the total?

perc: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Alessio peers into the room, coughing from the fumes.

The Shadow floats over to Barred and swipes at him. You can take an AoO Barred if you like

Incorporeal Touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 Strength Damage

It misses him, fortunately.

Round 1/2 - Bold may Act

Qarma
Alessio
Barred
Shadow
Alarien
Jerrid
Geirahöð

Not sure about touching the thing with his bare hands, Jerrid instead draws his sickle and gets into a flanking position behind the thing to assist Barred.

Move Action: Draw Sickle
Move Action: 15'

Barred grunts and shrugs.

"Lets try the old fashion approach."

He brings his cold iron longsword around in a arching swing.

Cold Iron Longsword: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9 Of for Desnas sake!
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Alessio draws his Sacramental Cognatogen (Souls Domain) and drinks it while moving into the corner behind Jerrid.

For the next 10 minutes I can give a weapon 1/2 damage to incorporeal creatures with normal weapons (full damage with magic) as a standard action that lasts 1 round.

Alessio levels his longspear at the Shadow.

Alarien moves into the room at the first sign of trouble, glowing katana in hand. Without hesitating, she slashes at the strangely-moving shadow.

Swift action to give her katana a +1 enhancement bonus for 1 minute, leaving her with 1 arcana pool point left.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

HP 12/13

barred swings and misses the shade as it floats over past him. Alessio charges his spear with power, as does Alarien before she swings at the enemy. She misses the shade as her katana slices beneath the Shadow.

Round 1/2 - Bold may Act

Qarma
Alessio (Sacramental Cognatogen, 100 rounds)
Barred
Shadow
Alarien (+1 enhancement bonus, 10 rounds)
Jerrid
Geirahöð

I had already took action for this round. My post is just above.

We're top of the order for round 2, Jerrid. Have at it.

Seeing the shadow attack the ulfen woman attacks with her blade.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 151d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Qarma joins in the frenzy of attempted attacks, drawing one dagger and taking aim for the shadow, attempting to flank.

1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 2 = 20
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
plus the damage from flanking/sneak attack, don't have rule book on me right now to look up numbers

"There is a dagger in the flames; how strange."

Sickle +Flanking vs Shadow: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Jerrid slashes down at the creature, "Maybe the blade in the fire has something to do with this creature. Perhaps someone should try to remove it."

"Does anyone know about such things? Rituals? Magic?"

Qarma's daggers goes straight into the Shadow, but does no damage. Jerrid swings and misses with his sickle.

The Shadow swipes a claw at Jerrid.

Incorporeal Touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 Strength Damage

It misses in its haste to damage the brawler.

Round 2/3 - Bold may Act

Qarma
Alessio (Sacramental Cognatogen, 100 rounds)
Barred
Shadow
Alarien (+1 enhancement bonus, 10 rounds)
Jerrid
Geirahöð

Seeing the dagger pass through the creatre Barred's frown deepens.

Well maybe cold iron will work...... maybe

Cold Iron Longsword: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Flanking

Barred's cold iron weapon has no more luck than Qarma's regular one against the creature. The longsword clearly hits, but no damage seems to be inflicted.

Round 2/3 - Bold may Act

Qarma
Alessio (Sacramental Cognatogen, 100 rounds)
Barred
Shadow
Alarien (+1 enhancement bonus, 10 rounds)
Jerrid
Geirahöð

Alessio steps over and touches the Kensai's katana. Take it down!

5ft step and standard action to grant half damage to Alarien's katana.

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

Alarien nods curtly at the kitsune and slashes at the shadow again.

Alarien's katana goes into the shadow and, for the first time in this confrontation it seems to take damage.

Round 2/3 - Bold may Act

Qarma
Alessio (Sacramental Cognatogen, 99 rounds)
Barred
Shadow (-12)
Alarien (+1 enhancement bonus, 9 rounds)
Jerrid
Geirahöð

I forgot to account for the +1 enhancement bonus on damage, if that makes a difference. I edited my post to reflect the extra +1 in the die roll just now.

Also, Alessio's Sacramental Cognatogen (Souls Domain)would make Alarien do full damage since her weapon is magical for the moment.

For the next 10 minutes I can give a weapon 1/2 damage to incorporeal creatures with normal weapons (full damage with magic [emphasis mine]) as a standard action that lasts 1 round.

Oh, yeah, ok. Well, lets run with that then. Alessio your buff stands and Alarien you tore it up. Gm post above edited.

Qarma glances at Alessio. "I don't know what you just did to Alarien's katana, but can you do that to my dagger? Or..." Qarma glances at the dagger she sees in the fire. "Maybe I could try that thing."

Seeing the normal weapons having no effect on the creature, Jerrid steps out of range, then draws his sling before sending a stone toward the dagger in the fire. Hoping to knock it out of the flame.

Sling shot to hit dagger in flame: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Free Action: 5' Step
Move Action: Draw Sling
Standard Action: Sling Shot

My magic is not long-lasting, Qarma. We should aid Alarien.

Jerrid succeeds in knocking the dagger out of the fire. It lies on the floor on the south west side of the fire.

There is a key there, by the fire. I can't see how it may help but it's there!

Qarma nods at Alessio, then moves around the fire in the direction of the dagger, taking the path that moves her away from the shadow, aiming to pick it up when she gets there.

Qarma moves around the fire, stoops and picks up the dagger. I need to know if you are attacking with this Qarma, for .... reasons

For better or worse, Qarma will try attacking with it unless someone with appropriate knowledge tells her not to. I assume it took my full round just to retrieve the thing, however?

Yeah, full round

Geirhöd quickly takes a step backwards and takes her battle aspergillum.

The Shadow swipes at Barred.

Incorporeal Touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 Strength Damage

Barred, please take 3 strength damage.

Round 3/4 - Bold may Act

Qarma
Alessio (Sacramental Cognatogen, 99 rounds)
Barred (-3 STR)
Shadow (-12)
Alarien (+1 enhancement bonus, 9 rounds)
Jerrid
Geirahöð

Geirahöd loads the aspergillim with holy water and attacks the undead.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 161d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11

Alarien will delay until Alessio's action, in case he re-empowers her katana and the shadow is still alive after Geirahod's attack.

The kensai keeps her guard up, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

Alessio will repeat his action and infuse Alerien's sword with power.

Holy water sprinkles the Shadow. It rocks and smokes slightly, but does not fall.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

With a great "Kiai!" Alarien the kensai slashes at the shadow again, and Alarien the katana cuts deeply into the shadow-stuff of the creature.

The shadow disipates into nothing.

Actions now

Alarien makes an arcane pass in the air and murmurs a few words, then glances around the room with eyes limned with blue light. Detect magic.

"Desna love it that thing is awaful."

Barred, smarting and feeling weaker stumbles back.

"What was it?"

Jerrid relaxes some, "Not sure. But if we run into more things that normal weapons can't harm. We are in trouble."

Jerrid goes and picks up the key that was on the ground. "I wonder what this goes to."

Jerrid begins to search the room, but while doing so he inquires about the dagger. "Any clue what that dagger is and why it was floating in the flame?"

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Geirahöd shrugs and points with her chin towards the smarties.
"No idea, ask them."

Jerrid picks up the key and puts it in his pocket. He may find a use for it later. He does not find anything more in the room. The fire looks to have been kindled using bodies, clothes and provisions. The dagger more than likely belonged to one of those who perished in the flames.

"I suggest we go back to the door that we couldn't open. The one with the wailing and the sound of someone readying a crossbow. There might be a survivor beyond that door."
