init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 no rush apparently

The black X are tables and workbenches and are about 3 feet high so you cant really walk there but they do not completely block line of sigh.

Thanks, Merc!

"Now this is my kind of fight." Merius' eyes suddenly change to a molten gold color as he stretches his arms out wide. The air around the man begins to waiver like a heat mirage as he draws energy straight from the Plane of Fire! A roaring sound fills the air... he abruptly claps his hands together in front of him and a massive pillar of flames burst from the ground nearby to engulf two of the undead guards!

Fire Damage: 5d6 + 16 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 3, 3) + 16 = 31 * 150% = 46 Total.
The two closest guards on the left both need to make a Reflex save DC 20 for half damage. They then need to make a second Reflex save DC 23 or catch fire as per the Burning Infusion.

Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Kardav roars at the Berblang, the tattoo on the back of his hand glowing purple as he channels his gods blessing into his armor, drawing his starknives as he charges the undead monster. His face a mask of burning hate as he streaks across the floor, his starknife leaving a glowing streak of purple light as he leaps through the air, slamming it into the creature's face.

Rounds of Sacred Weapon 9/10 Minuets of Sacred Armor 7/10 Fervor 4/8 Blessings 7/8. Weapon of awe lasts 1min/lvl so it should still be up. AC 24, 22 because of charge.

Attack: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (20) + 22 = 42
Damage: 1d10 + 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (8) + (1, 5) + 15 = 29
Holy Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11

Critical confirm: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (20) + 22 = 42
Damage: 2d10 + 30 ⇒ (7, 7) + 30 = 44

Well damn, get reckd son.

Well that sure left a mark.

Ynthar smiles all the wider as he sees the Kardav streak across the floor and lay into the Flying creature.

As a note Harika will likely recognise these as death knights

oh they have spell resistance 21 if spell resistance applies.

SR does apply to Merius' attacks.

SR check #1: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 4 = 31
SR check #2: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 4 = 34 Boom!

After Kardav lands a devastating strike on the Berbalang Argus the paladin gets a running start and jumps up channelling positive energy into his blade he slices trough the ghostly form and it vanishes in a scream of pain.

His wraith form destroyed the berbalang has been forced back into his physical body and severely weakened he also cannot wraith again for 24 hours.

Merius burns two of them but neither falls although he did significant damage.

Need to make an adjustment here. I'd edited the previous post but seems it didn't take. Kardav is after the enemies which is what I realised after I made this post and then I edited it to add enemy actions for the round as well. Basically ignore the above post. will redo it here

Argus the paladin runs up and leaps into the air channelling positive energy and strikes the berbalang dealing a good deal of damage to it.

"You convinced us to go along with your crazy plan so we could be heroes saving the world a second time. Instead we died in our sleep and became the very evil we fought to stop. This is your fault captain we never should have gone along with you!"

Argus watches his men surround him seemingly unconcerned.
"Your right, this is my fault and I will try to make ammends. I will start by putting you all to rest." he says taking a defensive position.

They laugh drawing closer.

The nearby deathknights including the two Merius burned move to surround him while the others move to cut you off.
They attack those at the front the two who were burned going for Merius.
attack ynthar: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 231d8 + 9 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 9 + (1, 5) = 19
attack Bug: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 281d8 + 9 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 9 + (2, 3) = 15
attack Merius: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 331d8 + 9 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 9 + (5, 6) = 26
attack Merius: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 231d8 + 9 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 9 + (5, 1) = 17

Kardav then attacks killing the berbalang and returning his spirit to his body.

Those who haven't moved can go now.

Bug will engage the one which tried to attack him.

clustered shots, point blank shot, rapid shot, close quarters thrower
to hit: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37 damage: 1d4 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
to hit: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33 damage: 1d4 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
to hit: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25 damage: 1d4 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Oh man, if only we had some sort of undead controlling necromancer with us right now.

As a note that 2d6 is actually negative energy

I'm guessing the deathknights are attacking with longswords; however, if I'm wrong and they are attacking Merius with natural weapons, they both take 6 fire damage from Searing Flesh.

Ynthar steps back, grunting as the undead creature slashes into him.

Taking in a deep breath, Ynthar releases a scream that only the closest knight can hear.

Ear Piercing Scream: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 3, 4, 5) = 19

Been trying to reach out to Harika but the player who plays Harika hasn't logged on in over two weeks gonna have to assume MIA for now. I will NPC Harika in the meantime.

Gathering her powers the priestess channels forth her powers to try and enslave the nearby deathknights. Every deathknight whiting 30 feet makes a save.
will save deathknight dc 25: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18
will save deathknight dc 25: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24
will save deathknight dc 25: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31
will save deathknight dc 25: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

She manages to bend one of them to her will (Due to HD restriction she can only control one at a time.) Claiming the one who attacked Ynthar she makes it stop channeling negative energy and attack it's comrade who was attacking Bug.

Full attack
longsword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 301d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
longsword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 131d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

He lands a hit but deals no damage. They have dr 15/ bludgeoning and magic and their weapons are +1 longswords.

Your go

update map

Burning Infusion Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 Both Death Knights take this damage as they continue to burn.

Merius suddenly calls forth a blade of fire into his awaiting hand and slashes into the Death Knight on his left before quickly stepping back and allowing the more martial-inclined companions into the fray.

Attack #1 vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 15 + 2 = 36
Attack #2 vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 2 = 30
Fire Damage #1: 5d6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 6, 2) + 8 = 25
Fire Damage #2: 5d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 1, 4) + 8 = 19

SR Check: 1d20 + 10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 4 + 2 = 35

Using Kinetic Blade on the DK to Merius' left, then 5' stepping into the square behind Bug.

Bug will continue to attack the one on him.

clustered shots, rapid shot, close quarters thrower

to hit: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23 damage: 1d4 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17

Shouldn't Kardav be up next to the Paladin since he charged the Berbelang?

I thought the starknife was a ranged attack

Starknives can be used for either with no penalty (unlike a chakram). The fact that I always do ranged may have distorted your view.

updated map

Two of them would have attacked kardav.
attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 301d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
negative energy damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12
attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 361d8 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
negative energy damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4

Wrong map

Sweet, a shame about Harika but we'll make do. HP 55/82 Rounds of Sacred Weapon 8/10 Minuets of Sacred Armor 7/10 Fervor 4/8 Blessings 7/8. AC 24. As a dhamphir Kardav doesn't take damage from negative energy.

Back to back with the Paladin, Kardav engages the death knights, lashing out at one as he channels divine blessings into one of his weapons.Swift action activate sacred weapon on his main hand starknife, +2 bonus to attack and damage.

Attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35
Damage: 1d10 + 17 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 17 + (6, 3) = 31
Holy Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24
Damage: 1d10 + 17 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 17 + (6, 6) = 32
Holy Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11

Offhand Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34
Damage: 1d10 + 11 + 2d6 ⇒ (7) + 11 + (6, 5) = 29
Holy Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9

Sorry this map should be right

what does Ynthar do?

Ynthar will step back and slash at the closest undead former paladin.

Blade of Three Fancies: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 161d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Blade of Three Fancies: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 101d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

"Back away ye stupid ingrates, abandoning yer post like that, tsk, I will tell them in Last Wall to take down yer names from the memorial. What be yer names?"

Both of Ynthar's attacks fail to connect as the deathknight easily blocks them.

Argus channels positive energy to harm all the undead around him.

The death knights retaliate focusing more on Argus than Kardav but two of them do attack him.

They land two solid blows on Argus but he still stands.

The two deathknights attacking Kardav will try to use smite good on him.
attack argus: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 221d8 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9
attack argus: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 301d8 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

Another will try to smite good on Merius (with no effect) and another on Bug.
attack Merius: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 351d8 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6
attack Merius: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 221d8 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6

attack Bug: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 181d8 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9
attack Bug: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 231d8 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7

Ok your go again.

Is the one Death Knight that Merius attacked last round still standing?

Yes but barely he has 2 hp left

Bug will continue work on his target.

clustered shot, point blank shot, close quarters thrower
to hit: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27 damage: 1d4 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
to hit: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29 damage: 1d4 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
to hit: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25 damage: 1d4 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16

if it drops he will shift targets to the one north of Ynthar.

Bug drops the deathknight attacking him with his second attack he sends his third attack at the one attacking Ynthar but it is deflected by his armour. (ac 26)

Thanks for the clarification, Merc.

Merius takes a step away from the Death Knight and then suddenly shoots up into the air near the ceiling. He then quickly sends another burst of flames up from the ground to engulf the same two Death Knights he has been targeting.

Fire Damage: 5d6 + 18 ⇒ (5, 5, 6, 6, 1) + 18 = 41 Reflex save DC 22 for 1/2 damage.

Burning Infusion Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Burning Infusion Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Both Death Knights take this amount of fire damage automatically.

SR Check: 1d20 + 10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 4 + 2 = 21
SR Check: 1d20 + 10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 4 + 2 = 35 Both checks are successful!

Merius is now 15' into the air and hovering with Greater Flame Jet.

Did none of my attacks land?
Kardav doges one strike only to be struck by the other, furious he strikes at the deathknight who hit him, healing himself with the power of his goddess.

HP 59/82 Rounds of Sacred Weapon 7/10 Minuets of Sacred Armor 7/10 Fervor 3/8 Blessings 7/8. AC 24. Swift casting Inflict Moderate wounds.

Offhand Damage: 1d10 + 17 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 17 + (6, 4) = 28
Holy Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11

Two of the three hit on your last round but not enough to down one. This round another two attacks hit and you drop one and land a hit on another guy.

Kardav manages to drop his first opponent and lands a hit on the guy who hit him.

Ynthar starts tapping his foot and his smile gets wilder looking, his rage starting to build.

"Yer a disgrace to Last Wall, you abandoned your posts to guard against evil and let it into you."

Ynthar adjusts to attack a new Death Knight.

Blade of 3 Fancies: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 211d10 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Argus uses his lay on hands to heal himself and then using his smite evil he lands two devastating blows on a death knight bringing it down.

The deaths knighs retaliate attacking him and landing two more solid hits on him. Argus is bleeding badly from several deep wounds but still stands.

Two of them attack Kardav.
attack Kardav: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (14) + 22 = 361d8 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9
attack Kardav: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 351d8 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

attack Kardav: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (16) + 22 = 381d8 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4
attack Kardav: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 191d8 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9

Two of them move up and attack Bug
attack bug: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 351d8 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7

attack bug: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (8) + 22 = 301d8 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7

and one attack Ynthar
attack ynthar: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (3) + 22 = 251d8 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

The one controled by Harik attacks his comrade
attack death knight: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 191d8 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
attack death knight: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 191d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Four death knights have fallen and one is controlled while 7 remain remain.

map

Your go.

The light around his weapons and armor winks out as Kardav is pummeled into the ground.
-4/82 HP

Stabilize: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 2 - 4 = 12
Stabilized

Bug will attempt to put down one of his assailants.

clustered shot, point blank shot, close quarters thrower
to hit: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34 damage: 1d4 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
to hit: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35 damage: 1d4 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
to hit: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 damage: 1d4 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Ynthar Keeps attacking the one he was on, wanting this to end to go and assist Kardav.

Blade of Three Fancies: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 231d10 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Blade of Three Fancies: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 211d10 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

"You ruddy traitors!"

Merius begins to gather a large amount of energy as flames of bright blue hue begin to swirl around him in a roar of energy...

Full-Round Gather Energy, going to continue into next round... Reducing Burn cost is at 2 thus far.

Did you remember to kardav heal from the negative energy as well?

Bug either lands 3 solid hits but Ynthar fails to connect his attacks.

Harika will come up behind bug and whisper "This will help trust me" and give him a kiss on the cheek. He feels a sudden coldness in his body. For the next 5 rounds bug is healed by negative energy and harmed by positive.

The paladin Argus roars using his lay on hands to heal himself and his smite evil ability to land two devastating strikes and to down the deathknight that brought low Kardav. The remaining three attack surrounding him Argus.

attack argus: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (10) + 22 = 321d8 + 15 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 15 + (6, 1) = 24
attack argus: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 331d8 + 15 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 15 + (4, 1) = 24
attack argus: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 351d8 + 15 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 15 + (3, 6) = 25
attack argus: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 331d8 + 15 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 15 + (6, 3) = 32
attack argus: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (11) + 22 = 331d8 + 15 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 15 + (4, 2) = 26
attack argus: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 221d8 + 15 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 15 + (1, 2) = 21

Several solid hits land and the old paladin goes down. Argus is dead. The deathknights take a moment to stomp on him for good measure. That's what you get old man." says one of them.

Then bug is attacked by two deathknights
attack bug : 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (14) + 22 = 361d8 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8
attack bug : 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 341d8 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12

attack bug : 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 401d8 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12
attack bug : 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 301d8 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7

And finally Ynthar is attacked.
The bug is attacked
attack Ynthar : 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (20) + 22 = 421d8 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3
attack Ynthar : 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 261d8 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
negative: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4

Your go again.

I'm just checking, this is negative energy damage not physical?

Bug, getting swarmed, will try to drop the one he has been attacking, and if it does his next attack will shift to another damaged one.

clustered shot, rapid shot, point blank shot, close quarters thrower
to hit: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25 damage: 1d4 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
to hit: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29 damage: 1d4 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
to hit: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 damage: 1d4 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16

Wouldn't the negative energy from the swords not heal because it's not being channeled to heal only to harm? Normally it'll say in the ability description if it heals, otherwise it wont. The only benefit that Kardav would get would be that he doesn't take the additional damage.

Their weapons deal 2d6 negative energy damage (this is not like channeling at all it's just pure damage) now because kardav is affected by negative energy like an undead this heals him instead of damaging him and because of the kiss from bug eater is the same way temporarily you take the weapon damage as normal but the 2d6 negative is healing instead of damage.

Ok, adjusted the HP damage. After my DR that wasn't nearly so bad.

Merc, would you be able to post an updated map link please? I need to see the current layout of enemies for AoE purposes. I'm about to do some nuking...

I took 44 pts of dmg?

@ynthar yes

map

You guys would be doing a lot better if you actually concentrated your attacks instead of splitting them up I think

Yeah, I'm trying to focus on the same two Death Knights with each attack. And thanks for the updated map!

More bright blue flames swirl around Merius and seem to envelope his body before abruptly disappearing. There is a second of quiet before those very same flames burst from the ground beneath the two Death Knights that continue to burn from his fiery powers.

Burning Infusion: 1d6 ⇒ 4 Both Death Nights take this damage.

Blue Flame Blast: 10d6 + 16 ⇒ (2, 5, 2, 5, 6, 2, 5, 6, 3, 5) + 16 = 57 *150% = 84 Fire Damage. Ref save DC 22 for 1/2 damage.

SR Check: 1d20 + 10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 4 + 2 = 36
SR Check: 1d20 + 10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 4 + 2 = 24
