The_Ninja_DM's Road to Kasai

Game Master Spiral_Ninja

Ajerviskanis leaps to his feat, and wielding his short staff, moves to one to the hellknight attacking Straehan.

He mutters a strage word, and points at the knight.

Spell, Forbid Action, will save DC 14. Failure means the target cannot attack for one round.

Thanks, Ajer!

Round 1:

Ikshvaku calls up his weapons and attacks the armiger who damaged him, but misses.

Attack on hellknight: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Quick note: Volorog is the mini faceless stalker and is not armored.

Round 2:
Braydon:
Kayosin
Volorog:
HK C:
Ajer
Goldilocks
Sumisu
Straehan
HK A1:
HK A2:
Vak
Fibek

Ajerviskanis=1, Braydon=2, Fibek=3, Goldilocks=4, Ikshvaku=5, Kayosin=6, Straehan=7, Sumisu=8, Walthus=9

Volorog: stays on Fibek grapple: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 if successful, drains 1 con.

HK A1: will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 freezes, unable to attack.

HK A 2: swings back at Kayosin.
longsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

HK C: [is 6th level, no effect, sorry] attacks the cloaked Sumisu with subdual, apparently assuming he's the target.
1d9 ⇒ 2
flail: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 9 - 4 = 18
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Kayosin continues to attack the one that smacked Figit, who is laying there unmoving, guarded by one of Walthus' snakes.
Wakizashi: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Two questions: are they attacking random party members, or staying on their current targets; and could we get a map of the fight? I think we started out in different areas, and I'm not sure who's still where.

See the updated targets for round 2. You are in Walthus shack lower. Let me see if I can indicate locations as well.

Sumisu staggers a bit from the blow. There is definitely something wrong with this picture. He pulls a vial and takes a swig, and the world becomes much bigger for him. He steps away from the big guy who is trying to knock him out and sees if the new perspective is good for him.

Cast Reduce Person

Spiral - you might want to confirm that possible critical for Kayosin. :)

Since you didn't mention any of the baddies dropping from our attacks, I'm assuming every one of them is still up and a threat. Should we post our Round 2 actions or are you still waiting on Round 1 actions from some folks?

Kayosin_crit_Wakizashi: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 No confirm

Yes, still up, need round 2 actions.

Note: Straehan is in the kitchen cooking; the one on him burst into the kitchen, Ajer cast from the kitchen door; Fibek/Goldie are at the table in the kitchen being chewed on by the faceless stalker; the other two are in the main room with the couch.

Hey! I"m back. Should be back to normal posting routine.
I'll assume that Kayosin has the same spell prepped as the day before since I didn't' have a chance to change anything up. Also, Kayosin has actiosn posted for round 2, which means Im' waiting for round 3, yes?

@Kayosin: Yay! Welcome back. Yep, round 3.

Wait? So I should post for Round 3? Or are people still posting for Round 2?

Still waiting on round 2. Though if you want to post, I'll fit it in. Note it's for round 3.

Round 2:
Braydon:
Kayosin: hit!
Volorog:
HK C: hit
Ajer:
Goldilocks:
Sumisu: takes potion
Straehan:
HK A1: 'frozen'
HK A2: missed
Vak:
Fibek:

I'll wait so the posts aren't all out of sequence.

Straehan expects to hear the crunch of the knight's knee giving way from the blow. Instead he stares in disbelief at the divot left in his iron pan. "Sh!t! Ajer, back out, we've got to cook these crabs from all sides."

Not sure if the venerable man's spell will keep him safe, the pint-sized cook tumbles away from the knight as far as he can before turning to cast a spell of his own. A ball of flame appears in his hand. He hurls it into the knight's face.

~ Round 2 ~

MOVE: Get Distance
STAND: Cast Produce Flame

Acrobatics 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Waiting on Ajer, Goldilocks, and Straehan.

Ajerviskanis nods to Straehan and steps back out the door, moving to the front of the house.

Again, he begins to mutter in a strange language, his eyes roll back in his head, and he pushes his hands out in front of him.

Ajer casts Bless, all allies within a 50' burst gain a +1 to attack rolls and saves vs fear effects

Round 3,
HP: 18/18
Status: Bless, round 1/60 (1 minute duration)
Spells used: lvl 1 2/4

-1 con and damaged

Fibek can only try to get out of the hold of the attacker.

CM to escape: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

The cat jumps in and tries to hit the elf's assailant.
hit/damage: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 3 - 1 = 211d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Round 2:

Ikshvaku looks around quickly at the attackers he can see before advancing on the one who looks like the Warden and opening a gash on its side with his primary blade.

Attack on volorog, incl. bless: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 = 22
Damage to volorog: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Suddenly a dire rat bursts from the sleeping bag, clad in smoking jade barding, shrieking a nearly inaudible battle cry, "Squueeek!"

Braydon rat darts left and right, a dangerous looking blade comprised of similar jade attached to his tail, looking about for what's going on before rushing through the front door. Upon spotting the two armored figures assaulting the group, he lunges in, blade lashing.

Don't know if I was within 50' when the bless went off, but that's a big area. If so, add it in after the fact.

+1 Small size
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 <- Magic, slash

Sadly, his blade fails to pierce the heavy armor. "Hsss! Chitter!"

@Braydon: yes, you're blessed.

Round 3:
Braydon:
Kayosin:
Volorog:
HK C:
Ajer:
Goldilocks:
Sumisu:
Straehan:
HK A1:
HK A2:
Vak:
Fibek:

HK A1: moves and swings at Straehan
longsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

HK A 2: continues to attack Kayosin
longsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

HK C: calls out in a harsh but feminine voice "Surrender the slip. We've no quarrel with you!". If no one responds, she panics and swings at the bizarre rat.
flail: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 4 = 24
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

The 'warden' suddenly drops off of Fibec and transforms into it's normal form. Apparently having had enough of this, it rushes toward the back door.

Is her attack silver or +3 (or better)[Please, God, no!]? Otherwise, no damage this time. DR/10 silver.

No silver. She wasn't quite expecting werecritters,

Seeing the fleeing creature, Sumisu tries to cut off his escape. The pink tentacle snakes out of his now tiny robe, grasping at its body, but the creature is able to wiggle free of his grasp.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Damage 1d2 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Grapple: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Goldilocks manages to extend and misses the creature as it flees.
aoo reach/ damage: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 81d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Between Sumisu and Goldilocks, the creature falls.

Another ball of flame appears in Straehan's hand. He feeds it to the knight yet again, most of it scorching his armor. The cook growls at the knight-wench, "Then you damn well shouldn't have busted in here like brigands! You've ruined a fine breakfast. Withdraw and we'll consider your request."

~ Round 3 ~

STAND: Throw Flame Ball

Kayosin's lip peel back in a silent snarl as he steps back defensively. He shouts a single word as he points towards his attacker, and a spray of brilliant colors flash into the hell knight's face.

:: Round 3 ::
Free: 5' step back
Standard: Cast Color Spray. I'm not sure who's where, so here's how Kayosin would try to target people. He's definitely targeting the HK attacking himself. Additionally, if there's a way to target any of the other attackers without hitting friendlies (with the exception of the goblin Figit), he'll include them in the 15' cone as well.
.
Will DC 14 negates; details of the effects are outlined in the link to the spell above.

No silver. She wasn't quite expecting werecritters,

NO ONE expects the lycanthropic inquisition!

That's their chief weapon.

Goldilocks closes with the next nearest rushing to get with five feet and flanking with an ally.
hit/damage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8

The elf casts and grease appears under the clumsiest foe and safely from allies.
Grease DC 15 reflex.

Round 3 - Fight!

Lashing and hissing, the dire rat continues to attempt to draw and dodge as many attacks as he can...

Using Combat expertise (+1Dodge), Small (+1 to hit), Bless (+1 to hit); AC 20
Attack (HK c): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 <- Magic, slash

Again, his aim leaves much to be desired, vastly over-leading the target.

HKA1: ref: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

And the Hell Knight chasing after Straehan falls with a clatter and is promptly chewed on by Goldilocks.

Kayosin's spell affects the one on him (now blinded and stunned) as well as the leader (who is stunned).

As his assailant's weapon clatters to the floor, Kayosin unleashes a flurry of strikes… blade then spell.

"Leader's vulnerable for the moment! Someone take 'em!"

:: Round 4 ::
Swift: Enhance wakizashi
Full: Spell combat (wakizashi + Acid Splash) on HK A 2

Round 4:
Braydon:
Kayosin: attacks
Volorog: lays there
HK C: stunned
Ajer:
Goldilocks:
Sumisu:
Straehan:
HK A1: blind & stunned, not critted but hit hard
HK A2: stands up
Vak:
Fibek:

Even with his shield being dropped, the Crit didn't land?

Oops, forgot about dropping the shield, with that, you critted and he's down. ;)

Goldilocks continues to attack from close range.
attack vs prone/damage: 1d20 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 4 = 231d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 = 11

Fibek sees the commander stunned and positions himself so the commander has the run the guantlet towards him through maximum allies. DM, you can adjudicate the max AoOs that can be provoked if successful.

Fibek cast a spell and commands the commander to approach him.

Command spell DC15 Will

As his pursuer slips on the grease and gets mauled by the large cat, Straehan pivots and attacks the downed knight with a series of flaming punches.

~ Round 4 ~

FULL: FOB
SWIFT: Sorcerous Strike

The white robed figure steps back and withdraws his tentacle. Things seem very well in hand, and there is no telling when the next problem might occur.

He will take an AoO if he gets one, but otherwise will not do much of anything.
Attack 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Round 4:
Braydon:
Kayosin: attacks
Volorog: lays there
HK C: stunned
Ajer:
Goldilocks: attacks, hits
Sumisu: attacks
Straehan: attacks
HK A1: blind & stunned, not critted but hit hard
HK A2: is down!
Vak:
Fibek: casts

The remaining opponents are in the main room.

hkc: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

The commander saves.

The rat scampers to a spot suitable for flanking, even if this would draw an AoO, then lashes again while hissing.

Using Combat expertise [+1Dodge]; Flanking [+2Hit], Bless [+1Hit], Small [+1Hit]
Attack (HK c): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 <-- Magic, slash

..and comes in under her (?) guard, but is deflected by her armor.

Missed it by..that much!

Sumisu steps back and fires a bolt of energy at the standing Hellknight, his tentacle snaking underneath his cloak to acommodate his casting of the spell.

Cast Magic Missle 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Ok, round 5: (Hey, you folks wanted tougher opponents. ;P)

Round 4:
Braydon:
Kayosin:
Volorog: lays there
HK C:
Ajer:
Goldilocks:
Sumisu:
Straehan:
HK A1: down
HK A2: down
Vak:
Fibek:

Cursing, the commander attempts to flee, but slips on the grease and falls. (draws AoOs)

Also ref: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

With two of the Hellknights down and the leader hitting the floor, Kayosin rushes in to take advantage.

He circles around the prone Hellknight to cut off escape. Then – tail flicking out to hold his wakizashi – Kayosin reaches down to try to hold the man's sword-arm immobile.

:: Round 5 ::
Move: to flank the prone Hellknight leader (while trying to avoid the Grease, if possible – let me know if I need to make an Acro check or something if I do in fact have to enter the Grease)
STANDARD: Grapple! (provoking an AoO)
.
Grapple (vs. HKC's prone CMD) 1d20 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 18; flanking, Bless

Just an fyi, guys, I'm not trying to take the Hellknight alive.. more like trying to give more folks better chances of landing hits. the Hellknight can't counter-grapple and retain the use of his shield and/or sword. So he either has to break free or become easier to hit.

The rat, caught up in the battle, lashes at the fleeing target.
AoO, Still using Combat expertise, et al..
Attack [HK c]: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Misses quite badly, possibly to avoid the suddenly-grappling Kayosin..

Taken aback by his own outburst, the rat calms and starts selectively moving the blade, looking for an opening.

Combat expertise [+1Dodge], Small [+1Hit], Bless [+1Hit], Flank [+2Hit] (if available)
Attack [HK c]: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

..but the calmer stance does not help it connect any better.

Fight d20 average (over the life of the character) so far: 7. Yay!
