Thorn rises to his feet, in deep thought.
Grint & Sivar

Guardian Golem
--------------
Elsa & Father Burdock

Still prone actually... he's a bit broken

If you wish..
Btw, if you wish to have spent spells for healing this morning, make some rolls.
They might make the difference.

It is as demonstrated, yes. Also, Not this morning I meant before we slept..pretty sure I didnt use all of mine. Spells that is.

Grint moves behind Burdock and grabs his bow from his back at once, then fires a single shot at the creature when he has a clearer shot.
Single Shot, Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 - 2 = 221d8 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 4 = 12

Sivar rolls Two D20 and takes the best for initiative

No words, no emotion, battle calls....

Sivar steps forward and readies his fauchard then he takes a swing at the creature from range

Fauchard Power Attack Slash: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 101d10 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Guardian Golem, round 1

Thorn is lost in thought.
Meanwhile Grint shoots an arrow, which does less damage than expected.
Sivar goes forward and makes a deflected attack.

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

The large creature remains on its thick footing.
Father Burdock

Burdock enhances Thorn's strength once again before cursing at the situation. "Damn these crazed cultists! By Torag's beard...", he mutters angrily.

bull's strength on Thorn

Will Sivar take all of that?
You're the 'nah-nah-nah-nah-nah' type of oracle after all.

With Father Burdock blessing Thorn with mighty strength, we enter the 2nd round.

Guardian Golem, round 2.

Thorn

Elsa & Father Burdock

Grint takes a 5-foot step south-west and fires twice at the big-ass pumpkin guardian.

Thorn feels a slight pull away from the darkness, Physically becoming stronger. a flash before his eyes. ' Well now, its seems they want you to do something....Try not to die TOO fast... be of SOME use '

In a half-lidded stare Thorn rises looking at the situation. In almost Monotone Celestial he spoke, " Retreat back to us.. Sivar "

As he raised a hand ready to deliver a spell. the warrior normal glow diminished greatly but his own wounds healed.

Ready CMW: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (7, 4) + 4 = 15

Activated Judgement of Healing, Fast Healing 2, stood up, ready CMW if Sivar gets closer.

The Guardian golem follows.
Acro, move half speed: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

:P I'm having a hard time seeing that Golem performing acrobatics, backflip: "You've got nuthin'on me..."

Elsa freezes the ground underneath the Guardian thing again Stay away from Grint! DC16 or fall prone

fort: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

The golem maintains its footing, the roots and soil keeping it steady as of yet.

Sivar, on the other hand, has contracted a fever from the filthy maw's bite.

Father Burdock

Edit: Thorn, Grint, Sivar, you can post ahead in advance.

Magic weapon on Grint ' s bow, hoping that will help bypass DR. +1 to damage for you Grint!

-Posted with Wayfinder

Grint takes a 5-foot step back and fires two arrows at the golem, knowing full well it could swing at him, but the shots were needed. It just meant he needed to be careful in not opening himself up for a hard counter-attack.

Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim, Magic Weapon, PBS, Fighting Defensively: 1d20 + 9 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 2 - 4 = 181d20 + 9 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 2 - 4 = 22

Damage as only the 22 hit, weapon counts as magical: 1d8 + 6 + 1 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 + 4 + 1 = 18

AC=23 until my next turn

Thorn looks upon the Golem slowly approaching, his eyes dead somewhat as he raises his hand. The sound of gallows being pulled and a guillotine falling erupts.. as his Bless Spell goes off. He then draws his Axe and steps in.

Father Burdock enhances Grint's weapon.
While Sivar takes distance, Grint steps back to shoot.
His arrow, despite being enchanted, deals reduced damage.
He hits for 13, but eats an attack from the golem.
AoO, PA: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 9 - 2 = 25Dmg: 2d6 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 4 + 6 = 12
Thorn's bless bolsters the group.

It only just swoops over his beardy head.

Thorn, fort dc 13.
-------------------------
Elsa & Father Burdock

Golems are weird.. also nice.. it rolled high on its bite against me... Do I also get the Willsave?

Yeah, i've browsed golems one day, elemental dmg, strangulation and more....
It's probably going to bite me in the ass, with awefull rolls in the rest of the fight. I've seen that happen.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Yeah, don't trust in statistics in games like these, had a 75% chance of not getting hit.

I do, 1/4 isnt impossible to hit. You just shouldnt rely on one form of defense in this game

Elsa snarls and hurls some elemental ice at the creature RTA: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 but the furious melee makes it impossible to hit.

Another round of uselessness

Burdock channels anti-artifi energy into his palm and thrusts it at the golem.

Touch of Artifice @ golem: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage on hit: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Damage ignores 4 hardness/DR

-Posted with Wayfinder

Grint 5-fooot steps north and fires twice again from out of reach.

Attack, Rapid Shot, PBS, Deadly Aim, Bless: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 121d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 4 = 181d8 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Don't forget Bless Burdock

Thorn feels the pain, a powerful pain that weighs on his body. And his mind. The shock makes him see the Demons, the fear. His axe swings upwards in a shaky arch.. less from fear, more from reactive training.

Axe Swing: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 311d12 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Fast heal 2

Confirm Axe Swing: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 202d12 + 20 ⇒ (4, 6) + 20 = 30

Gm advise when ive stopped running away, extremely limited posting capabilities

Well...that massive dmg wrapped up a challenge rather quickly, gj.

Elsa's, Father Burdock's and Grint's arrows miss.
Thorn must have gotten a divine push in the right direction, as his attack hits the golem hard in the chest, near the rune.

For a moment it stands, but it then falls apart in huge pieces, slowly dissolving on the ground.
--------------------Combat over-----------------

All is quiet, the cultist's golem being no more to harass you.
To your surprise, and relief, no other image comes to yell at you.
The only things left in sight are a cart full with stolen pumpkin harvest and the fields of the hamlet.

This was the last enemy of this countryside 'chapter'.
Relax time.

Luck of the gods on one spectrum and the other; There really is no 'relax time'

His impact was far greater than he anticipated and it surprised even him. However there was no satisfaction or otherwise in his demeanor afterward. He simply dropped his axe and moved back to Tessa who he awkwardly cradled and lifted from the ground, looking at the rest, " This place you all are going to, does it hold healers? Father Burdock... do you have the capability to learn.... Gentle Repose? " His words did not stutter.. they were cold and distant.

Father Burdock wanted to inspect the chests at the 'outhouse', where you exited the tunnel to.

my curse gives me +4 saves vs disease so I passed that check earlier

Sivar finally gathers himself and returns to the group. .

He casts healing on himself

cmw: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (3, 6) + 4 = 13
clw: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

"Thorn that was a mighty blow you struck that golem with, I'm not sure of your patron, my religious knowledge being limited, but the blessing you invoked seemed to be very effective."

Thorn gives a sideways glance at Sivar, the shorter man's eyes went to the ground. " D-Damerrich, The Weighted Swing, A-Archon of Executions. He is known for m-many such things, that is who I a-aspire to be.. who I f-follow. However, That blow meant nothing, for it came from fear, not d-devotion. And it did not help prevent the fate of L-Lady Tessa, n-nor the m-man sacrificed. I-I am still v-very weak. "

I can, but not until another night's rest

-Posted with Wayfinder

Still stretching and moving his muscles after the blows he received from the golem

"Well I may ask you questions about the teachings of Damerrich, if you'll allow, so that I may learn and hopefully come closer to to finding out more about my own divine inflictions. I would not be so doubting of yourself i'm as strong as an ox and I could do nothing to that beast"

With the bandits, excluding the missing Knuckles and the mysterious violin player, no longer be on the rural lands, the people at the hamlet set out with a horse to retrieve their stolen harvest.

Man #1: "I can't thank you enough for rescuing our boy.
We're not rich like some of the folk over at Kharum, but maybe we can compensate in some small way.
You were looking for a spare wheel for a wagon, yes? I have one in my storage, please take it."

The daughter, mother & granny make ready to depart as well, when you five are ready.

Which could be the same day or the next.
Since there's hinting at spell recovery.

To Sivar Thorn gives a stonefaced stare. " If y-you wish. As for doubt, I have none.. I am weak. Strength is m-measured in m-many different ways. I c-could not protect and b-because I could not defeat a man.. It lead to the death of a c-comrade. I am weak. "

When the people ask what they can do he motions, " D-Do you have a coffin, s-some rope? "

The barkeep, happy his wife Alice is back with him, shakes his head.
"No coffin, however i can make a crude one with some of the planks we have."

Man #2 "As for rope, maybe there is some in my basement."

Both they can provide, making the coffin takes the barkeep, assisted with another, less than an hour.

"Would you prefer we give Tessa a proper farewell tonight and rest for the evening?", Burdock asks the grieving Thorn.

" She will be a constant reminder... and I shall return her to the living. I will carry her so that I do not forget my weakness. "

He looks to Father Burdock

" We can give her the proper rites... but my quest will not end. "

Basically.. Coffin Backpack... Wolfwood style. Take her back to civilization and all that.

Elsa eyes Thorn askance You intend to carry that corpse with you everywhere? It might begin to smell bad don't you think Grint? How morbid.

" You cared not for her... And there are spells for such... If you died, I assume you would want to be buried? "

After little less than an hour, the barkeep returns with a simple coffin.

"Here you are."

When you guys are ready.

"I can prepare a spell of repose if need be if we rest overnight, and I can talk to one of the high priests in Janderhoff if you wish to bring miss Tessa to this realm."

"Aye it would stink Elsa, but I've met more people able to conserve a body when needed. I assume that's what Thorn is after."

Grint looks to the others as the discussion turns to not caring for her.
"Well we do care Thorn. A burial is a good thing for her, though a journey to her homeland would be far I think. I'd intend to bury her here instead of transporting her all the way, there's practicality to keep in mind. If you want to bring her back, you don't know her wishes, so you might bring her back against her will. I don't want to be a part of that."
