The Reaping Stone (Cassomir) Table 2

Game Master Karmic Knight

Him glances at his scimitar, "Slime and skeleton are not good words, separately or together. I will hold it off while you all bombard it alright?"

He pulls Kirzon's alchemists fire free and prepares to lob it once the creature is within ten feet, Nipple Taker still raised in his other hand.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 DC 15 Reflex or 1d6 Fire next round

Craning his neck to try and see through the gloom, Nicias Pulls out an arrow and fits it to his bow.

"Can we get some light up ahead? Lililinda, can you cast a light spell on my arrow and I will loose it a bit further up the tunnel so we can all see it. Kirzon, how far up is it?"

Him should still have a light spell on his hat to since we were refreshing it every 20 minutes as specfied earlier.

"Ah, um, I'm sorry Nicias, I don't know that one!" Lililinda admits sheepishly.

Buffs
Innis: skills & ability checks +2

As the group readies themselves for the approaching creature Innis focuses her senses scanning the area behind the group to make sure nothing else is approaching.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

End turn

I can recast the light spell again with no problems. How fast is this thing...its taking forever to get to us it seems! @GM no offense! But I think we are Cocked, Locked, and ready to Rock with whatever this thing is!

busy at work today since I wasn't in yesterday. But you asked so let's resolve this round...

As the creature lumbers into the ioun stone's light you see Kirzon's description is spot on. The slimy substance that encases the skeleton appears to be almost an inch thick.

From the front Merelda fires a bolt from her crossbow easily hitting the creature. The bolt's impact sinks deep into the slimy skin. Next Him throws a bottle of alchemist fire which again hits the creature. The bottle breaks and immediately the air turns to fire but the the fire quickly dies off. Still the creature continues towards you

As you scan the area behind you Innis your quick thinking is rewarded as your darkvision reveals another one of the creatures climbing out of the water.

Boros. Your Turn. Then end of ROUND 1. Everyone else can follow once the post for Boros is submitted.

Nicias shrugs,

"Oh well, it was a good thought"

He stows his bow and arrow, and gets out the materials he will need to prepare a 'special', which he will throw as soon as he sees anything.

ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

damage if hits: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Additional 6 damage on anyone within 5' except allies excluded with precise bombs

***Edit***

"Have we figured out what it is yet?"

anyone got knowledge (dungeoneering)?

Nicias: is this for your Round 2 action? Also Merelda is the only one who can give you information on this creature.

Him launches himself forward, dropping Nipple Taker and drawing his backup scimitar as he moves sliding between the creatures legs and spinning to slash at it.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Scimitar: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20 Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

Innis announces the presence of another incoming creature

At work atm cant see map will post an action later

I was going to wait for Boros' action, but since everybody else is declaring their actions...

"Some sort of Undead! I don't what it is otherwise."

Merelda steps a little closer to be sure of her range, holster's her crossbow while doing so, and uses her now free hand to cast an offensive orison on the creature.

Disrupt Undead RTA: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Feel free to impose the normal penalty for firing into melee!

Disrupt Undead(Positive Energy): 1d6 ⇒ 5

How deep is the water beside us? Is that a small ledge I see on the other side? Is there any way I could fire off my color spray wand without hitting Innis?

buffs active = None

Innis draws Him'Wazir's mage armor wand and armor's herself. She looks at the group ahead which has come to a complete stop and then back at the approaching creature looking for a way out of this situation.

Innis draws Him'Wazir's mage armor wand and armor's herself. She looks at the group ahead which has come to a complete stop and then back at the approaching creature looking for a way out of this situation.

My suggestion is to go defensive: Summon a mirror image using your domain ability, and Channel your a$$ off! (BTW: As a CN cleric do you channel positive or negative energy?)

@Lililinda - I think Color Spray does not affect most undead (assuming they are mindless)

Boros Round 1

"Boros, guard Innis!" commands the dwarf. Boros complies, slithering in front of Innis to guard against the approaching creature. He rears his head, ready to strike!

Boros moves 30 feet North, then readies to attack as soon as the enemy approaches.
Readied Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9; Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Nicias: is this for your Round 2 action? Also Merelda is the only one who can give you information on this creature.

I'm not sure. I'm assuming that getting my bow out and putting it away again was for before they entered into my sight, so it would be as they moved to their current positions (which I believe is still out of my sight). I think it's safe to assume that I can't do anything anyway during the first round as I can't see them, so it probably is the second round as they come into view that he gets a bomb ready.

Hearing Innis say there is another one behind them, Nicias looks round to see if he can see it. If he does, he will throw his Bomb at it, otherwise he will check the waters beside the party and look forward to see which comes into view first

Lililinda other than the 5 ft walkway you are on everything is submerged in water. As for how deep you are not sure but you imagine it is fairly deep. The sewers need to carry a lot of water so you doubt any part would be shallow enough to step in. Using your wand will definitely effect Innis unless you move past her.
Nicias that makes sense to me. Will use your action for round 2 then.
As Kirzon stated in the discussion thread you can always move through friendly squares you just can't end movement in a square occupied by someone else.

Boros heeds Kirzon's directions and moves up the passage to defend Innis against the undead creature.

The first creature steps into view but it is out range Nicias to launch his bomb launches one of his bombs. Him runs, tumble and rolls behind the creature easily cutting through the slime and meeting the brittle bones. The creature looks to turn now and Merelda fires off her ray which misses.

Nicias scans the water bomb in hand. Perception check Nicias

Innis you feel the spell surround you in an invisible armor.

Just to add Merelda and Him have light sources so the radius is 20 ft.

Kirzon Lililinda. Your turn.

Lili has a light source thanks to Kirzon. I realize I never posted in character, but there's no way we were walking around in the dark all this time without Kirzon casting Light on someone.

Kirzon moves north 20 feet and hurls an alchemist's fire at the creature from the north. Attack vs Touch, range penalty: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 3 - 2 = 12; Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 +1d6 fire next turn if hits; 1 splash damage if it's a miss.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Oops.

You see darkness

Kirzon you spin around and run to position yourself between Boros and Innis. You chuck the vial at the creature easily hitting the creature, as it barely makes any attempt to dodge the flying vial. A bright flash occurs as the vial cracks and the air ignites the dark liquid inside burning the creature as it continues to lurch forward seeking reprisal.

Lililinda. Your Turn.

Lililinda hunkers down where she is, not sure if there's anything she can do.

The undead creature still burning moves forward drawing an attack from the waiting Boros. Slow as the creature is Boros' attack still cannot connect. The creature retaliates on Boros it's claw easily cutting through Boros back.

Claw attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Boros takes 9 points of damage. Please make a Fortitude save (strength based) for Boros.

Over by Him the creature now turned strikes at Him with both claws, but the Keleshite easily moves out of the way.
Claw attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Claw attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

From the water you watch as another of these creature comes to surface and climbs on to the walkway to block the path between Him and Merelda.

Boros. Your Turn.

3rd Round - cannot move Him on the map could you grant access? He moved 10ft back.

Him slashes the creature again, trying to access whether or not his blade is doing real damage to the strange creature, making as if to dart past it and then leaping back away from it,

"Come on you filthy undead thing, here is Him'Wazir come and get me!"

Scimitar: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

should be fine now Him. Btw roll 1d6 for the alchemist fire you threw last rd. creature wouldn't have dropped and rolled.

Thanking you :) Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Merelda, sets herself for parrying attacks from the new creature with her Rapier as she tries to blast it with magic.

Fighting defensively: –4 penalty on all attacks in a round to gain a +2 to AC

"Goddess curse you and your kind!"

Disrupt Undead: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 - 4 = 5

Disrupt Undead(Positive Energy): 1d6 ⇒ 1

Wow...just Wow. Hmmmm. I think we could use some help here.

Merelda will back-up hoping these things are really as slow as they appear to be.

Boros Round 2, and Kirzon Round 3

(*Edited to add Boros's Fort save*)

Boros Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23. Severely wounded Boros felt the looming presence of some nasty effect, but manages to resist. Kirzon's snake compnanion slithers backwards, though only as he starts moving does Boros realize that he's approaching yet another undead. Withdraw south 30 feet.

In the meantime, the fire engulfing the undead enemy from Kirzon's alchemist fire burns once more. Fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5.

Seeing that the fire is pretty effective, Kirzon draws another flask and tries to hit the undead again. Alchemist's Fire: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12; Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2 +1d6 next round

Buffs
Boros +2 AC

Innis shields Boros with a blessing as it flees from the creature in front of her.

ROUND 3

Merelda stumbles back as she watches the creature climb onto the walkway and lets loose a luminous ray of light at it but off balance the ray misses and disappears into the dark water.

The undead creature closest to Him finally succumbs to the fire and drops giving Him the necessary time to move and attack the newest opponent by Mereleda. Like the previous one before the creature's 'skin' cuts easily and Him finds his blade hitting bone.

Meanwhile Kirzon waits as Boros slithers back to his side and throws another vial of the alchemist fire. Draped in fire the creature continues forward looking for it's next target.

Innis surrounds Boros with blessing hoping to protect it from any further attacks.

Lililinda. Nicias. Your turn.

Him readies himself to parry should the creature attack him again, "Come on slimeball, you make me look like a fine figure of a man, come at me you skeletal snot beast!"

Parry: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 2 = 16
Reposte: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 2 = 23 Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Seeing the creature shamble into the light near Kirzon, Nicias slips his 'special' into his Bombchucker and lets fly

ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 Oops

Direction of miss: 1d8 ⇒ 1

But it falls short by 5' in an uncontrolled explosion of flame

All within 5' taken 6 hp splash damage - which I believe is both the creature and Kirzon

Nicias quickly loads one of his special bombs and as steps in to the throw to lob his bomb over his group members he loses his footing on the damp walkway causing the bomb to fall in between Kirzon and the creature. The bomb explodes spraying both Kirzon and the creature with flames. Kirzon take 5 points of damage.

Lililinda remains hunkered peeking to and fro as the battle continues.

The creature attacks Him raking at him with both of its enlarged claws. The first attack Him easily parries and slashes the creature with his scimitar. As Him moves back into position to attack the creature's second claw rips Him across the side of his waist.

Him takes 5 points of damage. Him please make a fortitude save (strength based)

Claw attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Claw attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

The creature still aflame from the alchemist fire moves and attacks Kirzon with both claws. The old dwarf knowing his way in battle is easily able to fend off each claw with his shield.

Kirzon don't forget to take 5 points from Nicias' special bomb

Claw attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Claw attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Boros. Your Turn. End ROUND 3. Everyone else turn following.

Concentration furrowing her brow, Merelda tries to blast the creature attacking Him again with divine light!

Disrupt Undead RTA: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Shaking her head again with sadness, Merelda draws a dagger with her off hand as she moves to flank the creature for Him.

"I must be sicker than I thought."

This could very well be the end of Him as a useful party member gulp! Roll low please GM!

Staggering Him's face pales, as he feels yet more poison leeching strength from his already feeble frame.

Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Boros Round 3; Kirzon Round 4

Boros, unable to get around the enemy and still nursing his wounds, simply delays. In the meantime, the now-flaming skeleton continues to burn, before the fire ultimately extinguishes. Alchemist Fire burn: 1d6 ⇒ 1

* * *

"Augh!" cries Kirzon as he gets splashed by Nicias's "special." "Ya damn fool, Nicias! If yer gonna miss, overshoot! Now everyone, step back so there's room fer another bomb!"

Kirzon pulls out his axe and tries to strike the creature in front of him. But he also would like to take a step back to clear some space for another one of Nicias's bombs.
Draw axe, attack, and 5-foot step back if people make room.
Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8; Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Buffs
Him'Wazir +2 AC
Seeing Him'Wazir wounded once again, Innis moves up the narrow passage a offers a prayer for his protection

Need to know the result of that poison before I can post my action GM Aumakua.

Grinning Sheepishly, Nicias pulls out another couple of vials of volatile liquids, mixes them and lets fly

ranged touch attack,bomb: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

damage if hits: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 typical

additional 6 hp splash damage on all enemies within 5'

Within a few seconds of the creature raking Him you watch as Him's blade drops from his hand quickly followed by Him dropping to the ground as his whole body spasms with uncontrollable twitches.

At the back end of the group Nicias throws his bomb angling it so that it strikes only the creature and not Kirzon. As the creature burns again it drops consumed by the fire.

Sorry what happens, looks like that was 1 Str damage? Which would not drop Him. Can I get a bit more of an explanation?

No stat loss your body is going through toxic shock. You can't do anything until it wears off. So you are prone and on the ground unable to control any movements

The creature attacks Him striking at his defenseless body. Innis' blessing is able to deter one claw but the other claw rakes Him's frail body.
Him take 7 points of damage and make a Fort (strength based) save

Claw attack: 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 4 = 21
Claw attack: 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 4 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Boros. Your Turn. End of round 4. Everyone else follows Boros.

Cool :) Activating Chamred Life as an immediate action.

Str Fort Chamrmed Life: 1d20 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (15) - 3 + 3 = 15

Boros Round 4; Kirzon Round 5

"Boros, git o'er 'ere", calls Kirzon. "Yer just in tha way." For a moment, Boros seems focused on staying put, ready to strike the enemy if he sees an opening. But at Kirzon's command, he withdraws, slithering back but still staying alert for enemies. In the meantime, Kirzon calls for the blessing of nature on Lililinda.

Kirzon casts Guidance on Lililinda and takes a 5-foot step back. Boros moves by Kirzon's side.

Worried that Merlda won't hurt the creature with her Rapier, she slashes at it with her dagger.

Attack (Dagger): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Damage (Dagger): 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

She can't seem to get past the creatures slime covering.

"By the Triple Sting you will be destroyed!"

So I'm pretty much useless in this combat so far...I can't get a decent roll to hit!
