The Eye of Eons (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

Elsa gathers power and hurls ice at the nearest bad guy (I think that's Blue)

Gathered Power!: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20 Ranged Touch
Blasty Goodness: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 6, 4) + 6 = 22*1.5=33 Cold damage And DC 17 Reflex or be entangled.

Hmm, frosty death. :)

Despite the cover the men seemingly continue to provide her nobleness'enemies with, Elsa slings a deadly frost blast towards blue.
Though not an outright kill, it's enough to drop him a few feet from his position from impact.
======================

The mine, round 2

With blue down, Grint would probably shift his aim at the beetle, inflicting a direct hit, not moving though.

Orange beetle (-12)

Elsa

Burdock casts a spell to end the duergar "stealth", and moves closer to the fray.

Casting Invisibility purge, moving closer. 30' radius on the purge.

Red pops back into view.
Orland bot rages on.

Punch 1 vs red: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 321d8 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
Punch 2: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 151d8 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23

He hits red once for 16.
------------
Red (-16) steps up to Orland-bot.
Axe, flank, PA: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 - 1 = 18Dmg, PA: 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12

Red beetle bites at Orland-bot's legs.
Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 201d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Yellow guard starts casting.
Yellow beetle attacks Orland-bot.
Bite, flank: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 2 = 241d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Orland-bot is taking some hits, but is healthy enough to keep going.
-------------
Sivar
-------------
Orange & Purple
Orange beetle (-12)
-------------
Elsa

The chaos around him leaves him still in a position to attack with his Fauchard without being to close to anyone, he reaches out to stab at a beetle

Sivar swings at Orange beetle

Fauchard-PA: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 181d10 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

Sicar cleaves the beetle in 2 with a swift strike. The blade of his fauchard is looking a bit purple stained afterwards.
------------
Orange starts casting.
Purple grabs a crossbow and aims it at Father Burdock.
Bolt, FE: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 = 21Dmg, FE: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

I hadn't removed him from the map it seems.
How about a move and blasting red.

Elsa ends Red's fighting with a well placed ice blast to the face.

Will post thus afternoon!

-Posted with Wayfinder

Grint shoots at Green.
Bolt, deadly aim: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 - 2 = 16Dmg: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
It's a miss, as the duergar blocked it with his shield.

Father Burdock casts guidance on Sivar.
Orland-bot proceeds to attack bugs, raging as he does.
Punch vs red: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 201d8 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
Punch vs yellow: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 221d8 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
Which results in a double kill.
-----------------
Yellow steps back and starts casting.
-----------------
Sivar
-----------------
Green
Orange & Purple
-----------------
Elsa

With that Sivar swings at green

Fauchard-PA: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 261d10 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Fauchard-PA Confirm: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 191d10 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Sivar strikes with a massive blow to the guard's HP, and it almost knocks him out.
---------------
Green (-21) steps in.
"Raah!"
Waraxe, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 - 1 = 25Dmg, PA: 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12
He repays in kind, but not with as much force as Sivar had done.

Orange rushes at Father Burdock.
Charge, FE, PA: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 2 + 2 - 1 = 27Dmg, PA, FE: 1d10 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 + 2 = 10
Hatred runs deep, as the evil dwarf strikes his surface counterpart in the shoulder with his axe.

Purple sees himself forced to join the fighting.
-----------------
Elsa

Elsa continues her icy assault

Elsa gathers power and hurls ice at the nearest bad guy (I think that's Green)

Gathered Power!: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 Ranged Touch
Blasty Goodness: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 5, 5) + 6 = 20*1.5=30 Cold damage And DC 17 Reflex or be entangled.

Gren bites the dust, or cave dirt in this case, as Elsa adds another mark to her list of putting down ruffians and thugs.
====================

The mine, round 3

Grint
Father Burdock & Orland-bot
------------
Yellow
------------
Sivar
------------
Orange & Purple
------------
Elsa

Grint steps 5 feet back and fires a bolt at purple, then reloads his crossbow.

Ranged Attack, Deadly Aim Bolt, Moved, PBS, Cover: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 - 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 131d8 + 1 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 4 + 1 = 7

Father Burdock strikes back with his hammer against Orange.
Dwarven steel: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 261d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
He hits true enough, striking the duergar back over the head.

Grint's arrow misses its mark, and Orland-bot engages purple.
Raging punch: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17Impact: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
But it's a terrible miss...
---------------
Yellow grows to bigger size, and goes for Orland-bot.
Axe, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 - 1 = 25Dmg: 2d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 8) + 4 + 2 = 18
Orland-bot receives a strong blow on his shoulder.
-------------------
Sivar
-------------------
Orange (-6)
Purple
-------------------
Elsa

Sivar takes a 5 ft step forward and swings at purple

Fauchard-PA: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 221d10 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

Orland-bot has to cover his head, as Sivar's fauchard strikes towards purple. Had he not been where he was currently, Sivar would have dealt a significant blow too.
-----------------
Orange keeps engaged with Father Burdock.

Axe, FE: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13Dmg, FE: 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11

Purple fights Orland-bot.
Axe, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 8 - 1 = 26Dmg, PA: 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15
It comes down upon him with maximum force, causing the brawler to re-seek his balance.
------------------
Elsa

Elsa gathers power and hurls ice at the nearest bad guy (Yellow)

Gathered Power!: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 Ranged Touch
Blasty Goodness: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 6, 1) + 6 = 19*1.5=29 Cold damage And DC 17 Reflex or be entangled.

And big bad yellow bites the gravel, as his size is the perfect target for Elsa's fury.
=================
The mine, round 4

Grint
Father Burdock & Orland-bot
Sivar
------------
Orange & Purple
------------
Elsa

Grint 5 foot steps forward, reloads and fires a single shot at purple.

Single Shot, PBS, Moved, Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 161d8 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 8

Grint's bolt flies past the duergar's head, and along with the shot, Father Burdock swings his hammer at Orange.

Hammer: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 231d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Which is a splendid hit.

Orland-bot rages against purple.
He has just a few rounds left.

Punch 1: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 291d8 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
Punch 2: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 271d8 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
And he kills purple.

Sivar
------------
Lone orange (-16)
------------
Elsa

Sivar moves around to a clear area to the side of orange Duergar and then takes a stab at him

Fauchard - PA: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 151d10 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

I hadn't updated since Tuesday?
My bad..

The duergar blocks Sivar's attack with his shield, and in zealous rage swings his hammer at his surface counterpart again.

Axe, FE, PA: 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 10 - 1 = 10Dmg, FE, PA: 1d10 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 + 2 = 14
Which, ironically, turns out to be an epic fail.

Elsa, go kill this fool.

Elsa moves to the east.

"Your act of loathsome slavery ends here, you lowlife."

Cold blast: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20Dmg: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 5, 6) + 6 = 22

Good grief i roll good....for the other team. ^^

Elsa finishes off the last duergar.

As the last duergar hits the ground, covered in ice from chest to his face, the final sounds of picks on gems and rock stop.

Looks of disbelief and excitement are all around, and cheers erupt from from about a dozen and a half prisoners.

Those with a decently high perception, will notice the burly guy being stoic, instead of joyous.

Scattered throughout this mine, are several carts with gems.
There is also a chest, but that one will turn out to be locked.
Disable Device 20, you could try and force the lock with a DC 23 str check, or maybe something else.

Speaking in Undercommon, then Dwarven, Burdock speaks to the others. "You are free from the slavery of the duergar!"

At the chest, Burdock looks at the others. "I can see if I can magically manipulate the chest to weaken its bindings."

I tried this before GM, not sure how you want to rule using warp wood to mess with the chest. Ideally, I'd like to move the wood so the lock is useless or easier to bash open.

Father Burdock bends a big hole in the top of the chest, so the treasure inside can be easily taken.

A sack the size of a yellow melon lies within, as well as a dagger of unusual craft.

Elsa watches the proceedings with excessive boredom.

Don't we have something we should be doing?

I've come to love Elsa's sarcasm and impatience.

Sivar starts nosing through the stuff, examining the dagger

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Hello, what have we here?

and then going through the bag..

Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

=) She's not the Ice Queen for nothing.

Sivar picks up the sack and puts it in his pack

"I think this is mine, I'll look after it."

As is, you've liberated both mines, and its prisoners.
Killed the duergar occupants and collected a heapload of valuable gems.
There is only the hole/pit and a single room down here left.
---------
So what will the brave group do from here?

Burdock raises an eyebrow to Sivar's uncharacteristically greedy comment. "What did you find?", he asks.

With his darkvision, Burdock peers down the hole to see if there is anything of interest.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Father Burdock sees blood splatters, and the ground appears as if it had been plowed.

I feel like we are stalling. Why don't we just head up back to Janderhoff and start something new.

Or you can assault the fort with your new toy, and get the McGuffin you need back in Janderhoff. Unless you want to investigate the pit of death. But that's less interesting.

Oh, I thought we already had said macguffin.....

Responding to Burdock

"Just something you are better off having me handle."

Seeing that there is nothing else being said

"We should get out of this hell hole, we've got what we came for haven't we?"

We need a thing in that Fort. Go on over and claim it, so that we might go Sivar. Elsa says

"Well, I will take some satisfaction using their own tools against them."

Sivar raises his eyebrow at Elsa's words but doesn't heed them further..

"Ok what do we need and do we want to use the machine on the gate of the fort?"

Moving this along. Nothing since sat 29th gameplay.

You make the trek back without a hitch. Exiting the tunnel, you notice any wooden objects missing from the stone field ahead.
In the distance, a few braziers shine low light upon the ramparts of the outer wall.

Grint can make out 8 sentries present. Security has been increased since you last were here.
--------------------
Here's the situation.
You start 140 feet from the wall and gate.
Every 40 feet there are 2 places to take cover behind, granting +2 AC vs the higher grounded enemies.
The wall is 20ft high, with ramparts providing cover for the duergar.

Any preps, go ahead. If 2 are ready, we can start.

Sivar casts iron skins, shield of faith and divine favour on himself

+7 AC, +2 to hit and damage

Elsa doesn't have anything to prepare, however she can build shields for us to hide behind!

Ok, lets siege the wall and get into the stronghold.

The wall, round 1

Orland bot moves closer twice, advancing to 80 feet.
Upon coming into sight, 1d3 ⇒ 3 of the guards, who were most alert, shoot bolts, yelling alarm to their comrades.
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 161d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 201d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
3d8 ⇒ (5, 1, 6) = 12
Two hit their mark, dealing 6 dmg.

Map?
Elsa creates Kinetic Barriers in front of herself after she moves forward.

As i have proper access to the map again, i take it you entered battle with the current health?
I will update the map with the made map, when i have access again to my laptop.

Map updated.
Everyone except Orland-bot is at 140 away, currently 8 squares from entering the map.
