The Laughing Wolf Inn

Game Master Thomi Gallowshade

Hehe... Thorgrim is channeling Hellboy...

Celif steps closer to Thorgrim. (5' step to G17) Murmuring a chant, she motions with her hands and then reaches out to touch him. ((SA) Bull's Strength, +4 STR for 3 minutes.)

power attack
attack: 1d20 + 12 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 12 - 1 = 28
damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 2 = 12

Gezzo continues to attack the creature's base, hoping to throw it off balance.

Cast Judgement:Justice (swift move); attempts another trip (this is a free full-action that doesn't provoke an AoO due to class Order ability)

Trip: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 1 = 15

Lryhla's Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Trip: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Celif casts a spell that boosts Thorgrim's strength! Nice move.

Thorgrim raises his weapon again and brings it crashing down on the construct with a mighty BANG, inflicting another small dent!

Gezzo attempts to trip the construct, but it doesn't seem to budge! Lryhla tries to get another grip on the construct with her teeth, but the metal is too slippery, and she it unable to get a firm grip to trip it. The construct lashes out at Lryhla with its metal club-like device 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26 and hits her for 1d8 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 5 + (4) = 12 for 8 points of damage! An electrical jolt travels through the club and inflicts another 4 points of damage!

Was that an AoO on Lryla?

Yes. Does the exclusion apply only to you, or to you and your "mount?"

Lryhia as a wolf, gets a free trip attempt with a hit. only if she hits. same as Rudy.

Fener casts Produce Flame

Ranged touch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Rudy:
attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 = 26
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
trip: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Yes, Fener is right. Free trip for both of them. One for Cavalier ability and one for creature ability. Here is the rule: Trip

Lryhia as a wolf, gets a free trip attempt with a hit. only if she hits. same as Rudy.

That was my assumption, which is why the construct got an AoO.

Fener opens his palm, and a flame appears which he casts at the construct. It misses however, as Rudy attacks at the same time, getting a grip on the construct and knocking it prone again!

Seizing the opportunity, I again attack the Golem with my masterwork mace, aiming for the top of his head while I can reach it.

Attack: 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 2 + 2 = 8

Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Argh! The dice are against me!

Well, your the GM, your ruling...but, that trip isn't required. If we were at a table, it would have never been rolled because the attack roll didn't succeed in the first place. I only included it to speed things up with the PbP format.

Flug and Nastrod - need your turns please.

Cast Cure Light Wounds on myself.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Move to E17.

Is F15 an a square that we can move into?

Skip my turn.

Flug does nothing but watch.

Move to E17.

Is F15 an a square that we can move into?

Yes.

Nastrod continues to cast healing spells on himself, and Flug does...

Sirena fires another arrow at the construct 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 and it actually lodges in a crack between the thing's plates of Brass, 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 causing 2 points of damage!

Group 2: Construct

The Brass Construct stands up again.

Attacks of Opportunity are available to Flug, Gezzo/Lryhla, Rudy, Thorgrim and Imowen to end this round.

Rudy tries to bite the construct.

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Flug continues to do nothing.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 2 - 1 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11

Attack: 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 + 2 = 7

Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Great Rolls!

Rudy manages to get another bite on the construct while it is down! Gezzo swings his weapon and it hits the brass creature soundly with a loud CLANG! Thorgrim takes the opportunity to strike the construct, and with a loud BANG notices another small dent emerge in its body.

Imowen tries to strike the creature with her twin swords, but the attempt misses!

End of Round 2

The map is updated.

Start of Round 3

Group 1: Everybody...

Fener sends more fire at the construct.

damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
trip: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Cast Lead Blades on myself. Move to F15 to provide flanking for Gezzo and the Wolf.

Flug continues his current course of action.

Don't mind me, just providing flanking... Would it be possible to 5-foot step to G-14? Not sure since there's a barrel there. But if it's possible, Flug does so.

power attack
attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 2 - 1 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16

Celif prays briefly and once again invokes the blessing of Septimus. (Bless, +1 morale bonus to attacks and fear saves for all allies, 3 minutes)

Fener summons another flame and launches it at the construct. It hits, and bursts on contact!

Rudy attempts to bite the creature, but can't seem to get a grip on the metallic limbs.

Nastrod casts a spell and moves to F-15.

Thorgrim winds up and swings his weapon again! It comes crashing down on the brass construct with a loud BANG, and a large dent is created in the creature!

Celif boosts the party's attack focus by casting Bless.

Flug tries to move west, but is blocked by a large closed barrel.

I again attack this nasty construct with my masterwork mace.

1d20 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 24

1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Gezzo drags his fallen wolf back and presses both hands on his mount, muttering an incantation.

Five foot step to I15 and cast Cure Light Wound.

1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Imowen swings her mace and lands a blow on the construct with a loud CLANG!

Gezzo steps back and cases a healing spell on his mount.

Sirena launches another arrow at the construct 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 and it hits the creature with a lound BANG but bounces harmlessly away.

Group 2: The Brass Construct

You all hear a metallic-sounding voice echo around the room...Fermmmmmin sssseedlmnph...derrrrvvortrubbb ooourra...bogahn nix sssssseeeedlmnph...

Brass Construct: Drrrkteeer skeeekins iinjivitude...

The construct moves H-15, I-16, H-17, equipping a metallic cylinder in one hand and 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 tries to stab Celif with the large needle projecting from the cylinder! Fortunately she sees what is happening and is able to avoid the attack!

Everyone but Celif and Sirena get an attack of opportunity to close out this round.

(May I just say: EEP!)

Attack of Opportunity: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Regular Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (6, 2) + 5 = 13
Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Critical Confirmation: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

power attack with my enchanted axe.
attack: 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 1 = 15
damage: 1d8 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 = 17

Nastrod winds up with his magical sword, and powers down with all his might! The weapon crashes down on the construct with devastating results - a large crack opens in the creature's armor as flames course along its body. Electrical sparks and jolts emanate out of the crack!

Rudy makes an attempt to bite the construct, but is unable to get a grip on its metal!

Fener launches another flame, which hits the construct, adding more conflagration to the flames created by Nastrod's weapon!

Thorgrim tries to strike the construct as it moves past him, but misses!

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 = 15
Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Lryhla's Attack: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Firmly grabbing my masterwork mace I make my

Attack of Opportunity: 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 17

Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Figures!

Gezzo, Lryhla and Imowen all attempt to strike the construct as it moves past them, but all attacks are unsuccessful!

End of Round 3

With an almost silent swooshing sound, you hear the two metal doors through which you entered the room close themselves.

The map is updated

Start of Round 4

Group 1: Everybody...

Nästród moves to I16 and swings Örlög-Eldur down on the brass behemoth.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 6) + 5 = 14
Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 4

"The doors are closing!" Celif shouts in panic as she swings at the automaton with her still-glowing mace.

Light Mace: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 2 + 1 = 14
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

She then retreats away from the machine. (Around the end of the gurney to G19 if she can get past that small tank, F19 if not.)

Celif! Get out of there! It wants to take some sort of sample from your divination aura!

Gezzo says as he steps forward and swings his sword.

Five foot to I16 and attack.

1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7
1d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Lryhla's Attack: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Flug walks towards the battle, no urgency in his movements when he hefts his morning star.

Taking Celif's place at F-17.

He steps up in front of the construct and holds his weapon out with a hand, as if presenting it to the automaton, before making a sudden swing.

1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 1 = 19
1d8 ⇒ 8

No strength bonuses because Flug is still strength drained.

Power attack
attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 2 - 1 = 24
damage: 1d8 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 13

touch attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 10 Flanking Rudy, bless
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Rudy try's to bite the Construct again. Growl!

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 22 flanking, bless
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
trip: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 29

"I don't mind that, I just don't want to be a sample!" she calls back to Gezzo.
