The Ruby Phoenix Tournament with GM Deadly Secret - Table 3 (Inactive)

Game Master Deadly secret

Oh...uhh..guess I'll just infernal healing myself at round 10

OK and Round 11 which is round 1, what did you want to do?

Join the large lady and taunt her

Intimidate: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Do you have a climb speed? How are you getting up to her? Sorry but this is not your typical combat field and there will be rules applied so I will require specifics on how and what route you take.

Tangles of rope ladders connect two fighting platforms, one 20 feet above the ground and the other 40 feet above it. Both levels of the towers are identical and utilize the same map.

He'll climb a rope ladder quickly (i.e. take a -10 to move at half speed instead of quarter. Prioritizing movement over taunting)

Climb: 1d20 + 2 - 10 ⇒ (20) + 2 - 10 = 12

Deathless doublemoves.

══════════════

Up next, Darknak!

Darnak shrugs and follows Deathless up the rope ladder.

Double Move up the ladder at 25' per move for a total of 50'. It'll be -5 per 25'.

Climb 25': 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (18) + 8 - 5 = 21
Climb 25': 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 5 = 23

The ropes of the rope ladder on the tower closet to their side sway and rock as an invisible Shinobi makes his way to the top.

Climb 30': 1d20 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (7) + 1 - 5 = 3
Climb 30': 1d20 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 1 - 5 = 13

Free action to activate boots of speed to increase movement to 60 ft. Two move actions to climb to top of tower to W12. Done.

Do I see her from where I am?

As far as I'm aware, Deathless is not at the top of the platform yet as you didn't have enough move speed. So that will place Darnak under him on platform 2. I will move Darnak's token there. Deathless you know that moving up any further on your next turn will provoke an AoO from her as you're moving through her threatened squares.

Darnak double moves following behind.

Shinobi double moves to a different platform and reaches the top.

Up next, Wong

There is a fair amount of cover as there are pillars and tower platforms obscuring your vision from where you are standing.

Sure, why not

Wong has to struggle not to spread his wings, then climbs to the first of the platforms.

Climb: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Sorry about delay, I'll have a post later today.

Wong climbs up to floor 2 with Darnak.

Round 2

Ganyavesha pulls out a bottle and drinks it. She also appears to be blinking in and out of existence. 50% miss chance, if you see invisible it's 20%

══════════════

Up next, Deathless!

Deathless will continue climbing...

Climb: 1d20 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (15) + 2 - 5 = 12

...and move around behind the giant lady.

Darnak continues his climb as well.

Climb: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 5 = 11

If he can flank the giant lady with Deathless then let's do that.

Ganyavesha takes an AoO on Deathless as he moves through threatened squares AC 26
Melee kukri: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 35 15-20/x2
Hits
1d6 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 slashing damage

Darnak climbs the rest of the way up but she doesn't seem to attack. I don't think Deathless had enough movement to make it into a flank position so I don't know. Is that the rest of your action?

══════════════

Up next, Shinobi!

Invisible and fueled by the power of Wong's prayers, X leaps and glides 20 feet to land on square U9 gracefully and effortlessly. He flings a single shuriken at Ganyavesha from there aimming for a good place to sneak attack.

Miss Chance 50%: 1d100 ⇒ 14

Unfortunately the shuriken flies through the space she occupied as she blinks out.

Shinobi misses.

══════════════

Up next, Wong!

If he can't, he'll keep on running until he reaches the 3rd floor.

Unfortunatly you don't know what is causing the effect. So do you want to take a risk and remove a random spell or?

Nope you did not see her "cast" a spell so unfortunately there is nothing to spellcraft. Also, dispell magic will only remove the highest CL. Since all spells were cast by her (other than potions/scrolls), all her spells are at the same CL so it will be random as to what it removes.

Wong casts dispel magic and he thinks it worked but not sure what effect was removed.

Round 3

Ganyavesha will attack Deathless AC 26
Melee kukri: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 40 15-20/x2
Melee kukri: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 40
Hits and confirms
2d6 + 24 ⇒ (2, 1) + 24 = 27 piercing, magic damage
Deathless Fortitude: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (9) + 26 = 35 Saves
She then moves leaping to another platform (she can't fail), provoking from Deathless and Darnak. (reminder 50% miss chance; low always misses)
Performance: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 The crowd goes wild for Ganyavesha!

══════════════

Up next, Deathless!

You hypothetically could use knowledge(arcana) to identify ongoing spell effects, though the DC is 20+spell level

[ooc]Also, Deathless heals 8 at the beginning of his turn.[ooc]

"Hey! Surely you aren't afraid of little ol' me!" Deathless goads.

Antagonize: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Ganyavesha jumps to the platform but she feels something as she gets shunted to the squares below Shinobi. CMB vs your CMD basically. She looks around the area but doesn't seem to see what caused that.

Deathless antagonizes her and her attention quickly shifts over to him.

══════════════

Up next, Darnak!

AoO
Unarmed Strike(Magic/Lawful/Cold Iron/Silver): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
Damage: 3d8 + 10 ⇒ (4, 7, 7) + 10 = 28

I think it's safe bet that's not gonna hit anything. Blah.

Darnak waits to see if Deathless is able to draw her back over on the larger landing.

Delay

DM notes: Attacking from invisible will be vs FF AC unless target can neutralize that. I am using free action to switch wakazashi to bludgeon damage and then bludgeon non lethal with combo of weapon versatility and bludgeoner feats. After full attacking he will 5 ft step to T-10.

X draws one of his Wakazashi as he collides with the woman sending her to the side of him. He begins to bludgeon at her trying to land a solid staggering blow.

Wakazashi: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38
Crit confirm: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20
Wakazashi Damage w/ SA: 1d6 + 9 + 6d6 ⇒ (5) + 9 + (3, 5, 6, 2, 6, 4) = 40
Miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 40

Wakazashi (Haste): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29
Wakazashi Damage w/ SA: 1d6 + 9 + 6d6 ⇒ (4) + 9 + (2, 1, 3, 5, 1, 4) = 29
Miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 55

Wakazashi: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Wakazashi Damage w/ SA: 1d6 + 9 + 6d6 ⇒ (1) + 9 + (4, 4, 6, 5, 3, 5) = 37
Miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 63

Reminder: there's a Prayer effect centered on Wong.

Wong decides to take action, finally.

Darnak misses the AoO and delays action.

Shinobi misses the first attack due to concealment, but hits on the second and third attacks. You notice that not all your damage went through as her skin seems to be as hard as stone.

Wong hits with the first two arrows and does some damage but you notice not all if it goes through as her skin seems as hard as stone.

Round 4

Ganyavesha cast a spell, you can tell she knows something is up as she defensively casts it. Spellcraft if you want to identify what’s being cast. All of a sudden everyone can see Shinobi and she leaps to another platform provoking AoO. You may take the AoO as a 'visible' creature to her, however your spell is still in effect and you still need to count your rounds of use. When she leaps away Shinobi disappears again.

I will do two players at a time. These combats are no good in block initiative due to all the factors that play a part in this combat. But to speed things up, you can post as long as it’s in order of each other. Other than that I will call for 2 at a time to speed it up.

══════════════

Up next, Deathless & Darnak!

I hate to be nit-picky, but it is my most useful tactic. If my antagonize worked...

"Intimidate: The creature flies into a rage. On its next turn, the target must attempt to make a melee attack against you, make a ranged attack against you, target you with a spell, or include you in the area of a spell. The effect ends if the creature is prevented from attacking you or attempting to do so would harm it (for example, if you are on the other side of a chasm or a wall of fire). If it cannot attack you on its turn, you may make the check again as an immediate action to extend the effect for 1 round (but cannot extend it thereafter). The effect ends as soon as the creature attacks you. Once you have targeted a creature with this ability, you cannot target it again for 1 day.

full attack on my turn if she ends next to me, also 5ft step into flank if possible. Flank won't be included

fist 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
fist 1 dmg: 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
fist 2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
fist 1 dmg: 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
fist 3: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
fist 3 dmg: 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
fist 4: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
fist 4 dmg: 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Right. Um same actions, different spell but she won't move, instead 5 ft step.

Deathless roll a Fortitude save!

please visit the map and let me know where you plan to move. Depending on this save, your actions might change.

https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1X0ZmcPscaI3zm58pNt6LRBsAUZMQItckaVjPL15 _2ew/edit?usp=sharing

Darnak continues to wait, knowing that jumping on the smaller platform could prove costly - which is exactly what he figures she wants. "C'mon ya over-sized wench. I dare ya," he mutters to himself.

Still delay

Fort: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (20) + 26 = 46

Assuming Deathless made his fort and my actions would stay the same. Still invisible thanks to that Antagonize! Using a point of ki swift action for Ki Attack Speed for 1 extra attack. Naturally the attacks are vs FF and +2 to hit if she can not see invisible. Free action to switch secondary hand to bludgeoning and do non lethal SA with bludgeoner.

X draws his second wakazashi and begins to attack Ganyavesha in an earnest flurry of blades.

Primary Hand: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29
Primary Damage w/ SA: 1d6 + 9 + 6d6 ⇒ (6) + 9 + (4, 4, 1, 4, 3, 5) = 36

Secondary Hand: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
Primary Damage w/ SA: 1d6 + 5 + 6d6 ⇒ (3) + 5 + (4, 6, 6, 1, 4, 6) = 35
Miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 46

Wow that is a whole lot of miss chance missing...I need to run to the casino.

Deathless can you take a look at the map we are playing on? You will notice you're not next to her and unable 5ft step, set up a flank full round. Mind taking a look and letting me know what you want to do knowing now that she isn't near you?

Deathless saves.

Darnak delays.

Shinobi hits with the secondary hand attack and does some damage to her. You notice some of it is reduced due the the hardness of her skin.

══════════════

Up next, Darnak & Wong!

I'll continue to delay then

Reminder: there's a Prayer effect centered on Wong.

Wong prays to his Holy Master to enchant his bow, then fires again.

Swift: Sacred Weapon for a +2 Enhancement bonus on the bow. The bow is now +3, which ignores cold iron and silver DR.

Full Attack

Reminder: Clustered Shots allows Wong to add up all damage of the round before applying DR.

Darnak continues to wait out their opponent.

Delay still

Wong full rounds the woman and she falls unconscious as the first and third attacks hit.

Out of Combat!

The crowd goes wild, they seem to be in favor of your team.

The monks move in to prep the arena for the next fight and carrying Ganyavesha out of the ring.

The Emissary awards your team with a prize, a +2 Meteor Hammer.

There are no more events for you to participate in and as usually Loi's Noodle house has complimentary food and drink.

When those of you who go to Yon Loi’s, you come across a bloodied and bruised Tian-La man huddled on the side of the path to the noodle house door.

If you approach him, he shies away from you, muttering something about not knowing what he was getting into.

What do you do?

As the woman falls he dispels his invisibility seeming to appear from thin air standing beside her. He sheaths his wakazashi dramatically before taking a rope ladder down to the ground. He meets up with his comrades before they exit the arena. "Together we succeed, alone she fell."

Later...

X eyes the bloodied man before speaking in Tien. "What happened?"

Deathless walks passed the huddled man to the door of Loi's. Once he reaches the door he opens it dramatically and enters, strutting as if he were some sort of famous.

After bowiing at the end of the duel and expressing his interest in Ganyavesha's state of health, Wong walks with his teammates to the noodle house. He is a bit confused by the strange man, but due to his elusiveness he decides to follow Deathless and find out for himslef.

The man shy's away from Shinobi. He seems scared to talk and is mumbling to himself avoiding eye contact. You can roll a diplomacy or if you have any way to get him to trust you.

Deathless struts into the noodle house. He seems to have caught a number of eyes but the place seems much more quiet today as the contestants are thinning out and everyone is tired of the two past days of events.

X just stares at the man impassively giving him a minute to explain himself. Diplomacy: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19 Eventually if nothing occured he followed the others inside the noodle house to get a free/cheap bowl of noodles.

The man stops to look at you, noticing that you mean no harm he responds, "I had a run-in with a gang of Golden League enforcers who came to collect a debt from yesterday’s round of competition. When I explained to the thugs that I would have their money once tomorrow’s round was over, they told me I wouldn’t be able to place any more bets and would need to pay them back in blood. After beating me, they took the few pieces of silver I had on me and left me lying in the street."

"Golden League? They are running gambling on the matches?" X thought back to the poisoning attempt from the night before...it might be connected.

Deathless proceeds to get food. Afterward, he will aggravate some people with his winning personality.

"Yes, they are always making wagers on matches."
