The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

Nala grimaced as she tried to concentrate. She took a deep breath and did her best to focus on the task at hand.

1d100 ⇒ 47

She wasn't able to gain any ground against the aura of unluck, but she was at least able to hold steady in keeping part of it suppressed.

Well, on the bright side, courtesy of Enre's last attack the IE is now under 3000 hp...:)

First let's resolve the AoO against Ripper....
The chain whipped around to strike at Ripper as she attacked the Infernal Engine.
To hit: 1d20 + 35 ⇒ (5) + 35 = 40
Damage: 4d6 + 40 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 3) + 40 = 53

Now for it's actions this round....
The engine struck out at Enre as he was currently deemed the biggest threat.
Attacks:
1d20 + 37 ⇒ (6) + 37 = 43
1d20 + 37 ⇒ (6) + 37 = 43
Damage:
4d6 + 40 ⇒ (2, 4, 5, 6) + 40 = 57
4d6 + 40 ⇒ (1, 6, 1, 4) + 40 = 52

It screeched again, this time a cloud of acidic steam escaping from the damaged cannon.

Sonic damage, DC 49 Fort save for half: 15d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 5, 6, 1, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3) = 46
Acidic steam vs everyone in a 40 ft radius of the engine, DC 49 Fort save for half: 20d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 5, 1, 6, 6, 2, 2, 1, 5, 6, 2, 3, 6, 2, 6, 2, 5, 1) = 69

::No good, Phaeze. I can only cast through the shells in my Caster. I have to be able to shoot someone to heal them. Since it's not normal spell casting I don't think it will work through the collective.::

::I see. Be safe, then.::

approaching the main office was a small framed and appearantly sickly youth. she was clad in a black gothic lolita dress, her black hair fell to her ankles, held in a pair of twintails, her red eyes had a velvetlike texture to them and she was so pale that she appeared to be fatally ill. her childlike frame wasn't too much of an issue for her, she brought her registration forms. and the note from her uncle's private apothecary about her required 'treatment' and her 'Sickness.' as she walked, the local lights dimmed around her slightly. it was her 20th time attending school, not because of a need for education, but because of the social experience. she had an obscessive habit of pulling strings.

is the headmaster here? a new student seeks to attend this school. the Nymph Dhampir asked.

A brown haired brown eyed nondescript person rounds a corner and looks at you...

"Do you have any idea where the main office is? I have been wandering around here for like ten minutes, I need to talk to the Master? of this place" he says in a pleasant but oddly forgettable voice

"Do you have any idea where the main office is? I have been wandering around here for like ten minutes, I need to talk to the Master? of this place" he says in a pleasant but oddly forgettable voice

i do not exactly know the location. and the campus map my uncle provided me appears a bit outdated the nymph answered. i too seek to become a student at this academy. how about we search together? there is safety in numbers. the young half vampiric, shadow cursed, fey requested. her blinding beauty was currently suppressed at the moment. as to prevent unneccessary issues.

is the nymph's blinding beauty mind affecting?

"Searching together sounds like it would be more effective than hoping that i find the right place, especially since you seem to have an idea of the location we are seeking." he smiles as he says this

"Has anybody seen a black box! Seriously, this is very important!" one of the students runs through the hall shouting.

is the nymph's blinding beauty mind affecting?

"Searching together sounds like it would be more effective than hoping that i find the right place, especially since you seem to have an idea of the location we are seeking." he smiles as he says this

it doesn't really say in the description. just that it affects humanoids. it should be. but either way, it is currently suppressed as to not unintentionally blind anyone.

"an idea based upon an outdated map provided by my eccentric uncle." the nymph answered with a teasing smile. "before we continue, i have a favor to ask of you." the shadow cursed fey asked.

prepare for a neck biting

"What would that be?" as she steps closer I cock my head to one side curiously

Vampire me.... Bad news... Very very bad news...

The student clings to the ceiling, searching the floor for his box as he looks at the both of you "Hey, have either of you seen an obsidian box? I've been looking for it all day"

"What would that be?" as she steps closer I cock my head to one side curiously

Vampire me.... Bad news... Very very bad news...

"i have this unusual disorder. a form of dangerous anemia. and treatment as prescribed by my uncle's private apothecary is a pint of blood from a living creature every 24 hours. will you allow me to consume a pint of your blood? i promise it will only be a single pint today." the nymph dhampir requested. too distracted to care about an obsidian box.

To keep things moving, let's assume Ghalen and Cassius repeat their attacks with the same values (suckly as they may be) and assume they failed their fort saves. They can take the damage...

..........
back
"not....recently" he replies to the ceiling clinger
"I...Guess?" one way to make a friend.... "But I will need to preform a ritual before you consume....me?"

you may go ahead and perform that ritual before i consume that pint. but you may need to hurry the ritual as my health is rather poor. the nymph replied.

"Grandmother Huntress already protects me this day" he says softly "do you need to ingest it from my body directly?

"Yes. the fresher the source, the better it is for helping retain my otherwise declining health." the nymph answered.

He gulps and turns his head to one side, "Take it..."
Damage? This gonna hurt...

He gulps and turns his head to one side, "Take it..."

Damage? This gonna hurt...

1 point of temporary constitution damage. wears off after 8 hours of rest. or a lesser restoration spell.

the nymph climbed onto the taller enchanter and bit into his neck. drawing a fresh pint for herself to drink. licking up the sanguine liquid and swallowing it. when she finished her one pint fill. she would use her limited druidic magic to cast stabilize to stop the bleeding and prevent infection by creating something akin to a scab. a small bit of color was returning to her pale skin as she appeared a little less sickly than before.

thank you. the young fey said politely. she began to curtsey. in the pocket at the bottom of the skirt of her dress, seemed to be a glimpse of some exotic puppeteering line.

Healed in 1round
remarkably before your druidic spell is cast the hole seals itself with fresh pink skin, his face becomes pale then returns to its normal color
"not a problem" he replies with a little grin "Grandmother Huntress and the Grinning Hound protect me, so sharing their blessing with you is the least i can do..."

whom is grandmother huntress? the young nymph asked curiously in an accent similar to a spoiled younger sister of sorts.

mischievous grin "a.... Spirit"

how i healed:

the way you referenced her, it sounded like she was a rather important spirit. probably a relative, local deity or major family guardian. if you have a lengthy monologue about her, i do not mind. the sickly youth said to her new potential friend. curtseying yet again. if this outdated map still holds true, the main office should be there. she said as she pointed in front of her. she approached the main office.

As Morqssan is leaving the range, he mentally continues a long running philisophical debate he has maintained with the school's conscience. While this is going on, the school requests that he lead some new students to the headmasters office. He raises his Mr Morgan disquise and approaches the group.

Good afternoon. I understand the three of you seek to be students here, correct? If you will follow me I shall lead you to the headmasters office.

Good afternoon. I understand the three of you seek to be students here, correct? If you will follow me I shall lead you to the headmasters office.

three? i thought the guy looking for a box was already a student.

"thank you sir. but yes, you are indeed correct about your assumptions, at least with me." the young nymph dhampir said as she curtseyed yet again. she approached Morgan and attempted to read his expressions

sense motive (AKA perform oratory)

1d20 + 33 ⇒ (8) + 33 = 41

"thank you sir. but yes, you are indeed correct about your assumptions, at least with me." the young nymph dhampir said as she curtseyed yet again. she approached Morgan and attempted to read his expressions

sense motive (AKA perform oratory)

1d20+33

"Very well then, if you will walk this way. I am Mr. Morgan, the head librarian here at Avalon. At present most of the students are on an extended field trip so it is emptier than normal here. If you need directions around the school you have merely to address the school itself."

What are you trying to figure out about him?

the nondescript human asks you a question in an eerily forgettable voice "Does your library contain knowledge on every subject, Mr. Morgan?"

whether or not Mr. Morgan can be trusted or at least seems trustworthy.

thank you. Mr. Morgan. my registration forms and doctor's notes are in my bag. ready for approval at any moment. the nymph said politely as she approached and followed the 'Librarian'. please forgive me for examining you a little too closely. my uncle was a rather eccentric man and i somewhat inherited his analytical habits. especially around such sudden appearances.

Please see discussion thread for a note on recent activity, thank you.

Can you please repost Ghalen and Cassius's actions then? It's going to take me a long time to find them.

Sadie put up a shield around herself and as much of Vai as she could manage (which was pretty much just her head) when she saw the cloud of acidic steam rising.

For Sadie and Vai half damage on a failed save, for Vai only a quarter damage if she makes the save, for Sadie no damage if she makes the save (which she can't so I'm not even sure why I'm rolling).

Fort save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Indeed I can. Now that's it's Saturday and I'm at home I can update these guys...also, sorry for any recruitment confusion I may have caused. I assumed that those folks had already been greenlighted :(

Fort saves:
Ghalen: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (9) + 22 = 31
Cassius: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (6) + 26 = 32

Cassius recoils as the sonic energy hits him, but ignores some of the acid damage thanks to his feindish heritage. He holsters his gun and gets angry...like Angry, and the nubs on his head sprout actual horns. He bounds over to the hole Enre has made, and plunges inside, wreaking angry havoc with horn and claws

Combat: Pounce!
Gore: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25 to hit for 1d10 + 25 ⇒ (6) + 25 = 31 damage
Claw: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31 to hit for 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19 damage
Claw: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23 to hit for 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21 damage
Bite: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (11) + 19 = 30 to hit for 1d8 + 22 ⇒ (3) + 22 = 25 damage

Ghalen takes the brunt of the sonic and acid damage, and keeps tearing at the plating
Combat:

Bite: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (4) + 33 = 37 for 3d8 + 29 ⇒ (8, 8, 1) + 29 = 46 damage
Claw 1: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (9) + 33 = 42 for 3d6 + 25 ⇒ (5, 2, 4) + 25 = 36 damage
Claw 2: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (15) + 33 = 48 for 3d6 + 25 ⇒ (6, 4, 4) + 25 = 39 damage
Wing 1: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (4) + 31 = 35 for 1d8 + 25 ⇒ (1) + 25 = 26 damage
Wing 2: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (1) + 31 = 32 for 1d8 + 25 ⇒ (3) + 25 = 28 damage
Tail: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (11) + 33 = 44 for 2d6 + 25 ⇒ (2, 3) + 25 = 30 damage

Remains near Nala in case anything comes to attack her directly, whispering words of encouragement.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 4 = 28 Ugh, just noticed I can't make the Fort save at all. Glad I've got a field up.

Gritting his teeth as the screech is barely held off by his force field, Michael furiously thinks of what he can do next while hastily repairing the damage the acid had done.

::Phaezeriel, is there anyone in the collective with regenerative capabilities?:: He asks as an idea suddenly forms in his head.

Idea that will make Kitty furious forming in 3... 2... 1...

Casseus's blows glance off the creature's metal plating without inflicting any damage. Ghalen is able to tear into the Infernal Engine causing it some minor annoyance.

Jiminy flies around the Engine, trying to distract its attention from the others. The steam disappears as he nears and bends reality a little to send it to some other plane.

::Phaezeriel, is there anyone in the collective with regenerative capabilities?:: He asks as an idea suddenly forms in his head.

::I am not sensing anyone regenerating, save for myself. Will an active regeneration spell serve your purposes?::

Phaezeriel's primary mind again pours healing power into the collective.

Manifesting Heal Injuries augmented to affect everyone nearby and healing 230HP to Phaezeriel and Tyrrin which is then redirected to others. Total of 460HP of healing for the collective. Since no one mentioned how much damage they suffered, you can all apply healing out of this pool on your own. ;)

Phaezeriel's secondary mind focuses on the physical bodies of the front line fighters, augmenting their abilities.

Manifesting Animal Affinity augmented to include two additional abilities. 11 people gain a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution. Enre, Wyrd, Jimmy, Vai, Casseus, Michael, Ripper, and some others I cannot remember cause I am tired.

Overchannel Damage: 10d8 ⇒ (2, 3, 6, 3, 2, 4, 8, 8, 6, 5) = 47.
Phaezeriel's regeneration: 10HP.
Total damage to Phaezeriel: 37.

I am curious if Wyrd's attacks did any damage to the IE last round?

The only way Wyrd can save is with a natural 20, which is always a good save.

Fort Save Vs. Sonic: 1d20 + 17 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 17 + 4 + 2 = 35.
Fort Save Vs. Acid: 1d20 + 17 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 17 + 4 + 2 = 28.

Since no 20s, Wyrd suffers 115 damage.

Roaring in pain, Wyrd continues to swing recklessly at the creature pounding on its armored shell with massive molten fists.

Attack #1: 1d20 + 31 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 31 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 66.
Attack #2: 1d20 + 31 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 31 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 68.
Attack #3 from Haste: 1d20 + 31 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 31 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 60.

Damage #1: 2d6 + 15 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6, 5) + 15 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 2 = 44.
Damage #2: 2d6 + 15 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 1) + 15 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 2 = 38.
Damage #3: 2d6 + 15 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 6) + 15 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 2 = 42.

If it is vulnerable to sonic damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 1) = 10.

If it is vulnerable to fire damage, it must make one DC 30 reflex save for each attack that successfully landed or it will catch on fire burning for 1d8 fire damage each round for 1d4 rounds.

Wyrd is using the rage power Come and Get Me. Enemies gain a +4 to hit and to damage, but he gets to make an AoO against any enemy that attacks him.

I think Enre regenerates, but even if he doesn't(pretty sure he put his own head back on a few times), I just realized I forgot Ripper has regeneration 2.

Still trying to parse what's happenning, should have it figured out soon. Posts coming at some point today, if not right away.

Sonic damage DC 29 Fort for half = 51 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30
Sonic damage, DC 49 Fort save for half: 15d6 = 46 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34
Acidic steam vs everyone in a 40 ft radius of the engine, DC 49 Fort save for half: = 69 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24

So pass, fail, fail. Sadie's shield protects against the steam though, so half damage there. 25 + 46 + 34 = 105. Yikes. That takes her down to 49/134 (had 20 temp HP from Fei's aura). I'll take 85 out of the healing pool to bring me back to full.

A horrible mix of half-roar, half-scream erupts from Vai's fanged mouth as the concussive blasts mix in with the burning on her wings. She falters in the air for a moment, unable to flap her wings through the pain. NO! I've come too far! Vai blinks quickly out of the steam, taking a deep breath of clear air before diving back into the fray, thankful for the healing energies from Phaeze she can feel already working their magic.

Posting the attacks later, out of time now.

Tyrrin focuses her mind, calling forth her magical energies, channelling them into her allies as quickly as possible, trying to ensure that their enemy could not gain an upperhand in damage.

Casting Cure Critical Wounds, Mass, should hit everyone:4d8 + 16 ⇒ (4, 5, 4, 3) + 16 = 32
Followed up by Quickened Cure Critical Wounds on whomever needs it. 4d8 + 16 ⇒ (4, 8, 4, 1) + 16 = 33

Yes, Wyrd is definitely hurting this thing and I've been subtracting the damage as necessary. I've also been applying DR, but if anyone other than Enre is using adamantine let me know and I'll make appropriate corrections.

Wyrd's fists are starting to put some dents in the creature's metal plating. There is a shriek of metal against metal as the Engine swivels to strike at Wyrd.

If there's one thing the IE isn't, it's fast.

IE's current hit points = 2548.

Ephebe aimed a healing bullet at Phaezeriel to help him keep healing everyone else, and then looked around for Ripper. She was trying to keep her in sight since she knew Ripper wasn't in the collective and would need healing the most.

To hit touch AC:1d20 + 22 ⇒ (15) + 22 = 37
Cure Critical: 4d8 + 16 ⇒ (8, 5, 8, 3) + 16 = 40

Why is ripper no in the collective?

Why is ripper no in the collective?

Unless I'm misremembering, which is possible, she chose not to be.
