The Reaping Stone (Cassomir) Table 2

Game Master Karmic Knight

At work and can't move, myself but here is my action if someone will move me to the appropriate place to manage it.

With the warning of incoming hostile Cassandra moved into place to block the guards from entering without going through her first. She stayed back enough that she could attack into the doorway at anyone or thing coming in. She felt Innis touch her as she set herself and was surprised to see her hands and weapon vanish from sight.

I intend to have 5 feet between me and the door.
Readied Attack on first opponent through the door with the glaive and power attack: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 1 = 201d10 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 4 = 14
Aoo 1: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 1 = 271d10 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 4 = 18
Aoo 2: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 1 = 201d10 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 4 = 12
Aoo 3: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 9 - 1 = 191d10 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 4 = 10

[Oc]Hehe, these guys are in for a world of pain when they enter.[/ooc]

At work and can't move, myself but here is my action if someone will move me to the appropriate place to manage it. I intend to have 5 feet between me and the door.

Hehe, these guys are in for a world of pain when they enter.

Moved. For the record...I think Vanish has a target of Self only?

nope it's creature touched. The downside is its cap at 5 rounds unlike invisibility

Nicias moves so as to have a clear view down outside moved to d4 and prepares one of his specials, either to throw or to place on an arrow.

Lililinda slips back next to the snake, keeping view of the area outside. She lifts a hand, and the plants outside seem to rustle in anticipation.

Moving to E5, readying an action to cast Entangle the moment hostiles enter the center of B6a. Like right where the letters are on the map. The spell should fill the yard.

Kirzon/Lililinda seems like you are both going to cast entangle. Since it is a 40 foot burst I don't think you are going to both cast it. Kirzon could you like to make another action I think Lililinda usually checks the thread late afternoon. Thanks.

Makes sense! I should remember to prepare something other than Entangle next time since Lililinda can cast that at will. Fortunately, there are other uses for that spell slot.

Though about to call on the forces of nature to animate the plants, Kirzon feels Lililinda herself calling forth such magics. Fascinated, he reminds himself to ask about her powers later. In the meantime, he begins concentrating on his trusty eagle friend, Artsiv.

Moved back to where Kirzon was standing. Begin casting Summon Nature's Ally.

The party quickly assembles thankful for Cinder's warning. With the doors open they are able to see their opponents move into view. Leading the charge they see a rather large ferocious cat, followed by a tall and heavily muscled humanoid armed with a warhammer. Finally in the back doing his best to keep up they spy the halfling named Haddy.

Quickly Lililinda casts her entangle on the area hoping to slow down incoming opponents and catch them off guard. The cat nimbly avoids the grasping vines and roots and Haddy does not even seem to be phased by it as he hops, skips and jumps past the vines and roots. The large humanoid, however, does not fare so well as his lumbering legs are quickly pulled down by the animated plants. He roars in defiance completely angered at being stopped in his tracks.

He yells one word directed at the cat, "KILL!"

ROUND 1
Merelda's Turn

Initiative Order:
1. Merelda
2. Haddy
3. Innis, Kirzon
4. ??
5. Lililinda, Cassandra, Boros
6. Cat
7. Nicias

Remember that I have my readied action and AoOs from before still in place when it comes up.

Worried the cat may sniff out her position, Merelda simply draws a normal dagger with her free hand as she steps partially into the doorway and throws it at the big oncoming cat.

Making a 5 foot step and drawing dagger as part of move action. Throw is a standard. Hoping to keep the doorway as partial cover for now. Am I still getting any bonus from Innis?

Attack w/Thrown Dagger: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Damage Dagger: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

With a sneer, Merleda taunts the big cat.
"Here kitty!"

Allocating his Bomb to an arrow, Nicias draws a bead on the incoming cat, then looses

arrow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

damage if hits: 1d8 + 1 + 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (3, 2) + 5 = 14

Status
Innis: mage armor, +4 AC
Lili: +2 Saving throws
Cass: Invisibility (2 rounds)
No bonus from me Merry atm (i cant see you from my room, though you are attacking from stealth that should/could be a bonus)

Innis retrieves the wand of mage armor from her pack as a precaution and focuses on bolstering Lili's reliance and reflexes.

Round 1

"Artsiv! Slay that cat!" As Kirzon completes his summoning, a celestial eagle appears. It flies over the entangling vines, striking at the cat. 5-foot step and full-attack. I drew a circle to identify its position.

Claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10; Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15; Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11; Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Kirzon moves toward the doorway drawing his axe, meaning to strike at anything that gets near enough.
Readied Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7; Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Boros continues to follow instructions, staying near Innis for now.

Summoned Eagle Round 1 of 3.

Not my turn yet, but I might not be able to post until tomorrow night. Lililinda will cast Lock Gaze(DC18) on the big bad kitty cat

Merelda steps from the shadows of the room and throws her dagger. Not judging the speed of the cat the dagger flies into the hedges along the path.

In the back, Haddy continues running along the path hopeful to get away from the snaring roots but upon nearing the door he slows down waiting for the cat to go through the doors first.Haddy moves 20 ft

Innis quickly pulls a wand from her pack content not to invoke its power yet. She then turns her attention to the little gnome gifting her with small touch of divine presence.

As Kirzon finishes his incantation Artsiv appears right in front of Haddy and in the same instance dives for the face of the cat. The cat not affected by the roots and vines is able to dodge the attacks from the celestial bird. Before the cat can react Lililinda locks her gaze on the cat forcing the cat hold her gaze. Lock Gaze successful. Still the cat somehow manages to swat the eagle to the ground with a powerful claw. Artsiv takes 6 points of damage and is now grappled. DC 20 to break free.

The large humanoid clearly angered rips at the roots holding him down. His frustration gets the better of him and he is unable to tear away the roots quick enough before another one holds him down.

Nicias you can throw one of your bombs if you wish for ROUND 1. Everyone make your ROUND 2 actions.

Alas, Artsiv is not just grappled but at negative HP!

In the battle between cats and birds, it seemed that the cats had scored another victory. As the cat clutches onto Artsiv, the eagle falls limp and then vanishes, returning to the Celestial Plane. Fortunately, Artsiv will suffer no permanent harm.

Kirzon and Boros simply wait, happy to let others pelt the enemy from range. Boros delays. Kirzon readies an attack on anyone who manages to get in range.
Readied Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3; Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Hissing at her miss, Merelda keeps to her cover, draws another dagger, and tosses it at the hated Halfling!

Attack Dagger: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage Dagger: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"I'm going to kick your teeth in you half-pint LIAR!"

Nicias you can throw one of your bombs if you wish for ROUND 1. Everyone make your ROUND 2 actions.

If I used bombs, I would definitely have used Rapid shot to throw 2; instead I used my bow for the increased range. I'm happy with the result, let it stand and I'll use bombs next round

Satisfied with her work on the cat, Lililinda turns her attention to the halfling. "Behold!" She twirls and strikes a pose that shows off her magnificent gown in a spectacular fashion. Casting daze(DC17) on the little ####

2 more rounds of Lock Gaze on the cat

Nicias' arrow hits the cat directly on its chest causing the feline to roar in pain. Hearing the sound of the cat wounded only makes the large humanoid that much more angrier.

"Nooo! Chomper kill you soon!"

ROUND 2
1. Merelda
2. Innis, Kirzon
3. ??
4. Haddy (-4hp)
5. Lililinda, Cassandra, Boros
6. Cat (-14hp)
7. Nicias

Merelda throws her dagger drawing blood as the blade nips the halfling's shoulder.

"Chomper go show our guests how we deal with trespassers." Haddy sneers in the direction of the large humanoid and hangs back while the cat continues for the door. Haddy delays until after the humanoid.

Innis your action

Status
Innis: mage armor, +4 AC
Boros: mage armor, +4 AC
Cass: Invisibility (1 round)

Innis invokes the wand's magic and envelopes Boros in a protective nimbus.

"Kirzon you may unleash the beast!" she calls out from her safe-zone, content to let the others handle things for now and stows the wand away.

The large humanoid keeps on pulling at the roots but more and more shoot out of the ground. With a defiant roar he pushes himself forward albeit slowly and in the process leaves a trail of ripped up roots. ??? moves 15 ft

Haddy can only curse at the large humanoid while trying to deride to spur him on. "Come on now they are making a fool out...!" Haddy goes quiet all of sudden as Lililinda's spell clouds his mind. In the process you watch as several vines latch onto Haddy.

Lililinda, Boros and Cassandra (providing you want to change your action of just readying). Your Turn.

Boros will continue to wait for the bad guys to come closer. He's looking forward to chomping down on some cat. Delays.

Cassandra, her lines of attack fould somewhat by her allies, stepped over so she could cover the area a bit more while she continued to await the foolish guard's and their pet to come into range.

Just a five foot step but otherwise the same as before. Not gonna re-roll the attacks unless you really want me too.

I'm not sure where we are in initiative, at the moment, but on Merelda's next action is to strike at the big cat with her rapier then take a 5 foot step back into cover so as to get out of Cassandra's way.

Attack MW Rapier: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Damage Rapier: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

oops Lililinda posted her action. Ok that should make it the cat's turn.

The cat charges for Merelda clearly because the beautiful supple skin on the elf looks much tastier than the grizzled old weather beaten skin the dwarf wears around. It is just about to reach her when out of nowhere Cassandra's glaive flashes into view and the sharpened steel point punctures a series of holes through the it's hide dropping cat right in front of Merelda.

As soon as this happen there is almost a bestial cry from the large humanoid "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Nicas. Your Turn.

I'm guessing the cat was the main opponent, so I think I will save my bombs for now.

Drawing another arrow from his quiver, Nicias draws on Haddy and shoots an arrow at him

arrow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

damage if hits: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 typical

Status
Innis: mage armor, +4 AC
Boros: mage armor, +4 AC
Lili: +2 saving throws

Innis continues to wait out the fight watching Lililinda, whose gusto is quite amusing.

ACTION EDIT: Well, no reason to let a good chance to intimidate go by...Merelda will still stick her Rapier into the dead cat, but she'll look the big guy in the eyes when she does it almost evilly...right into its head!

"Awwww...the poor little kitty-kwat got STABBED!"

Intimidate w/Stern Gaze: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9

You and me BOTH Nicias! =/ Merelda now steps back out of sight by 5 feet. HEY! What happened to the map? Its gone?

Alright fixed map not sure what happened. I've moved some of you to where you would need to have taken your actions. Also Nicias remember if you are firing through tokens friendly or not that incurs a cover bonus to the target.

Kirzon. Your Turn.

As the remaining enemies continue to trudge forward, Kirzon finally waves Boros over to take up a position next to him.

Kirzon remains vigilant and readies an attack on anyone coming through the door way he's by. Readied Battleaxe: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10; Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7.

Boros does the same, no longer delaying. Readied Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23; Damage: 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Just wanted to get them on the same initiative.

technically they should so I think going forward we'll just have Boros use you ini Kirzon. I was reading that any familiars/pet allies should act on the master's ini. it will make things easier for taking care of iniative.

I've seen it both ways. Having them together is just easier for PbP. Also, forgot this roll.

Boros Readied Grab: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

-Posted with Wayfinder

Also Nicias remember if you are firing through tokens friendly or not that incurs a cover bonus to the target.

Your right I had forgotten. it's -4 isn't it?. If the chance gets too low, I'll stop shooting until I can get a clear shot; not going to waste my bombs until we really are in trouble

Eyes full of rage the large humanoid keeps advancing. He sets his glare on Cassandra and ROARS her way as he swings his ground with heavy THUD. The rage sends a shiver down your spine Cassandra and you feel yourself trembling. Cassandra you are shaken for 3 rds

Haddy shakes off the effects of Lililinda's spell and then sends a sinister laugh towards the waiting party pointing his dagger directly at Kirzon who has now stepped into view, "Now you got him angry. He'll be making pulp out of you for what you did to his cat!" Haddy steps forward with his ally. Failed to intimidate Kirzon

ROUND 3
1. Merelda
2. Innis, Kirzon, Boros
3. ??
4. Haddy (-4hp)
5. Lililinda, Cassandra (Shaken: 3 rds)
6. Cat (dead)
7. Nicias

Lililinda, Cassandra and Nicias. Your Turn.

Cassandra quailed slightly at the sudden roar of ferocity from the thug whose cat she just killed and would likely have broken and ran if it weren't for her companions being in danger. She swallowed her resolve and readied to attack the moment one of the thugs came in range of her glaive, though she didn't grip her weapon as aggressively as she had been.

glaive (readied) with shaken: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 8 - 2 = 201d10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
AoO 1: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 - 2 = 131d10 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
AoO 2: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 8 - 2 = 251d10 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
AoO 3: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 8 - 2 = 251d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

OK, Now I'm not so sure that the cat was the main protagonist,

Stepping forward, Nicias pulls out a 'special' and lobs it in the direction of the oncoming humanoid

Ranged touch attack, using Frost Bomb:

Bomb#1: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 5 - 4 = 19 -4 for cover

damage if hits, bomb#1: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 4) + 5 = 10 plus Fortitude save or be staggered

5 pts splash damage in all adjacent squares for each bomb; Reflex DC17 for half damage. I make it that Haddy has to make a reflex save or take 5pts damage; 3pts if he succeeds

Lililinda stands tall, pointing an accusatory finger at the halfling. "We come here to save this city, and you stand in our way. You are outnumbered and outclassed. Stand down now." Despite her height, she seems to look down on her opponent like an empress in her finery.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 to demoralize

Cassandra does her best not to show fear in the face of the beast and she warily stands her ground waiting for the humanoid to attack. She is somewhat spurred on by the confident and uplifting voice of Lililinda who seems cause Haddy to question his actions in face of the surmounting odds.

Just then a vial sails past Cassandra and strikes the large humanoid right in the chest. The contents begin to freeze over the humanoid but he breaks it apart before it can fully set. The rest of the contents now like icy darts fly all around but Haddy uncannily dodges them all.

ROUND 4
1. Merelda
2. Innis, Kirzon/Boros
3. ?? (-10hp)
4. Haddy (-4hp; Shaken: 2 rds)
5. Lililinda, Cassandra (Shaken: 2 rds)
6. Cat (dead)
7. Nicias

Merelda, Innis, Kirzon/Boros. Your Turn.

Stepping back into view next to Cassandra, Merelda smirks and casually casts a simple acid cantrip at the big warrior!

Acid Splash RTA: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Enough of this crap...Using my Determination(Aggression) ability to re-roll this attack. This uses up my one Determination for the day.

Acid Splash RTA: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Much better!

lol Merelda your rolls are pretty awesome in this campaign :)

Kirzon and Boros maintain the same strategy as before, waiting by the cover of the doorway to strike the enemies should they approach.

Kirzon Battleaxe: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7; Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4
Boros Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27; Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Boros Crit?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15; Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Boros Grab on hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Status
Innis: mage armor, +4 AC
Boros: mage armor, +4 ac
Kirzon: +2 AC

Innis continues to wait out the fight, she offers Kirzon a blessing of defense then slinks back to keep out of sight.

The orb of acid burns the humanoid shoulder but he does not back down. He continues hindered by the grasping roots but determined to beat Cassandra to a pulp.

He moves forward and Cassandra's glaive is steady enough to tear into his arm. He roars in pain only then to be assaulted by both Kirzon's axe and his deadly constrictor ally. While Kirzon's axe misses Boros is able to sink his teeth into the thigh of the creature and begins to quickly wrap around the humanoid.

Not to be kept from his true target the humanoid swings his hammer at Boros. The swing while powerful lacks any coordination and he completely misses. Haddy moves up and attacks the snake but the ward that Innis placed on Boros easily deflects the blade.

Lililinda, Cassandra and Nicias. Your Turn.

Moving to a better position, Nicias lets loose another Frost Bomb at the humanoid:

Hopefully Boros is too small to give cover

Touch attack Bomb at humanoid: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
to confirm crit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 Yeah, right

damage if hits: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 6) + 5 = 12 plus fortitude or be staggered next round

DC17 Reflex on Haddy or 5 points splash damage

Using precise Bombs to exclude Kirzon and Boros (and anyone else that moves into the splash zone)

Lililinda slips up to the corner of the door and reaches past Kirzon, aiming for the big guy's thigh. "Let's see how ticklish you are..."
Using Laughing Touch
Touch: 1d20 ⇒ 8 [ooc]Likely a miss, unless there's a buff I forgot

Cassandra. Your turn.

Crap! Knew I missed one this morning.
With two foes now in range Cassandra had a choice to make. Ultimately she chose to strike at the same target as before with a much more powerful stroke.

glaive with PAtk, shaken: 1d20 + 8 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 - 1 - 2 = 111d10 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 3 = 8

aoo 1: 1d20 + 8 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 - 1 - 2 = 141d10 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 3 = 17
aoo 2: 1d20 + 8 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 - 1 - 2 = 121d10 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 3 = 8
aoo 3: 1d20 + 8 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 - 1 - 2 = 61d10 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 3 = 9

Wow, dice roller hates me right now.

Its not just you! =/

Merry I believe you're up
