The Confirmation (Inactive)

Game Master Purple Dragon Knight

The north zombie crumbles in a heap under Kwannon's magic.

The north skeletons attempts to claw into Whiskers:
Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 for 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 damage.

the south zombie tries to club Ella into a pulp:
Slam: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 damage.

With a clear path, Lorenzo moves forward and tries attacking the zombie on the south

Glaive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 161d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 - [ooc]Just a reminder, the zombie will have cover against my attack[/dice]

Lorenzo tears a huge gash across the zombie's unmoving chest.

Everyone goes at this point! (hopefully the last round... hehehe)

Imojin attacks the skeleton, but sadly not with an effective weapon.

longsword to hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
dmg if hits: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Whiskers bites at the skeleton that tried to maul him.

to hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
dmg if hits: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Patros moves up and swings at the skeleton.

attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 = 201d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12using studied target as a move action

Patros destroys the skeleton.

[everyone else except Patros and Imojin, post your actions; if you all fail against that zombie, I will level him up before next round! :P]

Flavias scrambles over some difficult terrain, stares at the zombie and fires another arrow from his bow.

preciseshot, ignoring cover from single ally: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 2 + 1 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

crit confirm: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 1 = 13
extracrit damage: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (8, 2) + 2 = 12

The sheer force of Flavias' arrow breaks bone and rotten flesh alike, and the zombie crumbles to the ground.

You easily find a concealed passage in the northern wall; as you travel down this passage, you begin to hear the faint sounds of combat and a familiar woman’s voice half-shouting and half-reciting, “As the legendary Gregaro Voth successfully battled the wild beasts in the deepest reaches of the Mwangi Expanse, so shall I defeat you, foul servant of Lamashtu!”. Janira Gavix is engaging the minotaur in combat on the surface after failing to lose the unrelenting creature in the wilderness.

The route to the surface leads through a maze of tight passages that include steep ascents and short climbs as they wind from west to east. As you arrive in an area that branches in several small tunnels, Janira’s words are sufficiently audible to grant you the benefits of her inspire courage class ability (+1/+1). The tight tunnels here range from 2 to 5 feet in width and average about 9 feet in height. The slick floors and steady incline from west to east increase the DC of all Acrobatics checks by 4.

Kwannon and Ella: you both hear some squishy noises ahead. What do you do? (Map is up)

Careful, it sounds like we've got something nasty up ahead. It might be worth going single file so we have some room to fight if need be.

Perception check everyone

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

[please list Whisker's tricks]

I never categorized them... I will have to do that, but definitely attack x2, flank, defend, track, sneak... how many does he get? 6 with an int of 2, right?

Wait, did we search the skeletons or the body of the dhampir? We kind of skipped over it. Or is it assumed we found nothing?

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Perception 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

There is something up ahead, we must be careful

Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14

perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Whiskers squeals excitedly, hearing and smelling something ahead. Callus and Kwannon: you see a gelatinous cube blocking the path ahead, blocking the entire path.

Callus: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Ella: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Flavias: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Imojin: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Kwannon: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Lorenzo: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Patros: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Janira: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Gelatinous Cube: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (5) - 3 = 2
Giant Amoeba: 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (20) - 5 = 15

This is time sensitive due to Janira's battle outside!

Surprise:
Kwannon
Whiskers (uncontrolled as Imojin is unaware): Sensing danger, Whiskers backs up 5 feet behind a rock wall to make a stealth check Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Callus
Gelatinous Cube

-------------------------

1st Round:
Kwannon
Flavias
Imojin
Giant Amoeba
Ella
Lorenzo
Patros
Callus
Gelatinous Cube

-->Kwannon, Callus: go!

Sling attack if Kwannon moves up. Alchemist's fire if she doesn't or delays until after me.

Sling, Cover: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 2 - 4 = 2
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Alchemist's Fire, Range, Cover: 1d20 + 3 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 - 4 - 2 = 14
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

The gelatinous cube explodes with sticky fire and quivers disturbingly!

Surprise:
Whiskers
Callus
Kwannon
Gelatinous Cube

-------------------------

1st Round:
Flavias
Imojin
Giant Amoeba
Ella
Lorenzo
Patros
Callus
Kwannon
Gelatinous Cube

-->Kwannon: you're up!

I have been up since 123- this morning with a bad case of food poisioning. Trying to catch up on some games now

The magus moves up and attacks one of the globs with her ax
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Food poisoning? gah! that is awful! please try to get better and seek medical attention if it doesn't get better! we can pause the game if you want!!

Kwannon slices a chunk of gelatinous cube off. It quivers... then tries to engulf Kwannon!

-->Kwannon: A) do you elect to make a Ref save to step back and avoid his engulfing ability?; or B) do you take an AoO as it advances?

Reflex save.

Responding to PM

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

The gelatinous cube tries to engulf Kwannon but at the last minute manages to pull herself free of the smothering oddity!

-->Flavias, Imojin: you're up!

Imojin spurs Whiskers forward and stops just short of Kwannon, unable to get an attack in on the strange wiggling cube.

handle animal: 1d20 + 6 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 4 + 4 = 27

She readies to attack the cube if Kwannon leaves and it move up.

to hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
dmg if hits: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Ack!"

Flavias moves around in front of Lorenzo and stares down the cube as he fires another arrow.

precise shot arrow: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 1 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 10

Not ignoring cover in this case.

@Flavias: could you give me a breakdown on your damage? All I'm seeing here is Point Blank Shot for 1d8+1 total... i.e. gelatinous cube is immune to mind affecting, which makes it immune to painful stare by virtue of painful stare requiring hypnotic stare as a setup, as far as I understand.

Total c/p fail on my part, just the d8+1 for pbs. Also I had not realized that painful stare required, thank you for catching that, my apologies.

These jellies need to go down

[@Flavias: not your fault, as you can't know they're immune to mind affecting unless you have dungeoneering. It was educational from my perspective because it made me crack open the occult book again (it still has a fresh new smell in sections other than the psychic! lol!:-)]

The giant amoeba to the south attempts to absorb Imojin:

slam: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 for 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 bludgeoning damage plus 1d3 ⇒ 1 acid damage plus grab vs. CMD 14: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 [MISS!!]

The other two amoebas pace behind the gelatinous cube, waiting for it to move up and bumping into each other...

-->Ella, Lorenzo, Patros, Callus and Kwannon: you're up!
(Imojin please wait until Kwannon has gone before posting your readied action; thanks!)

Lorenzo curses, almost in a whisper, the little space he has to manouver in this caves, running, he turns back and takes the side tunnel, following Ella, positioning himself to attack one of the creatures. - "Hey you! Amorphous... thing! Fight somebody on your own size!"

The magus takes a swing with her axe at the next creature that comes up...
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

missing

Trying not to get hedged in the magus will use an acrobatics check to flip gracefully back away from the amoeba to allow others to attack.
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 acrobatics

[30dmg on gelatinous cube so far (9+8+5+8); I included your +1 bonus to damage from Janira's inspire courage]

-->Ella, Patros, Callus: you're up!

Patros steps forward and swings at the glob with his sword.

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 131d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

firgot janira's bless and studied target...so +2 mire to hit and dmg

[Studied Target is a move action so total is 11 damage this round I think; correct me if I'm wrong; 41dmg on gelatinous cube so far; it wobbles shakily as its integrity seems compromised... which he attempts to fix by feeding on Patros next...]

Patros' sword easily slices through the blue block of gelly, like hitting a large barn made of butter on a hot day.

-->Ella, Callus: you're up!

right...thoight this was second attack on cube...my bad! next round

Ella moves to join the fight with less enthusiasm than normal, At least this is practice, I suppose?

Rapier @ Amoeba: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Piercing: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Ella's rapier punctures the 3-foot diameter quasi sphere and a viscous liquid sprays out, significantly deflating the ooze in the process but drenching Ella nearly from head to toe with the questionable watery substance. Yet... the ooze still wobbles... another example of life clinging for a foothold in defiance against the void that forms most of the universe. [9 damage on giant amoeba including Janira's +1 inspire courage; ok, everyone has gone at least once in this fight so I won't say it again! :P]

-->Callus: you're up!

Ya, the occult stuff is still pretty new to me. I finally buckled down, read it, made a medium, a mesmerist and a psychic. Somehow both the mesmerist and the medium both became archers.

Callus throws another alchemist's fire at the amoeba behind the cube if possible. Otherwise, sling at the cube.

Sling, Cover: 1d20 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 - 4 = 7
Damage, Inspire: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Alchemist's Fire, Touch, Cover, Range: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 1 - 4 - 2 = 10
Damage, Inspire: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11 Splash Damage 6, DC 14 Reflex

Rust my damned blade! What is this...gunk?!

[Callus: alchemist fire is at -6 as you're in the 4th range increment, unless I missed something... so you hit AC 6... and it's still a hit! :)]

The gelatinous cube collapses under Callus' alchemically induced inferno, the nearby heat overcoming its melting point. The giant amoeba behind the cube contorts, sizzles, pops and shrivels as its exteriors are burnt to a crisp and its interiors evaporated or leaked due to the building internal pressure. Yet... it still moves... a crawling husk upon the cave floor.

The third amoeba gets singed, half of its front part (the one facing you) blackening due to the nearby heat: Reflex save for Giant Amoeba 3: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (15) - 4 = 11 --> 6 fire damage

You hear Janira's screams outside... no longer you hear the fine, literate prose. It is now all pain and horror, and animalistic growls followed by the ripping of flesh and the dull sound of bones cracking.

2nd Round:
Flavias
Imojin
Giant Amoeba
Ella
Lorenzo
Patros
Callus
Kwannon
Gelatinous Cube

-->Flavias, Imojin: you're up!

If possible, can we avoid animated gifs like the fire in the future. I don't think I can handle it. My apologies if others love it.

In a hurry to get to Janira Flavias nocks another arrow and fires at the flaming ooze.

Inspired Bow not including cover: 1d20 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 7
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 = 9

Imojin strikes at the amoeba.

to hit: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 = 14
dmg if hits: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
