Variel's Reign of Winter (Inactive)

Game Master Neltji

Instead of quaffing the potion of Flight, Greta will simply step forward and attack the Ice Seer instead. Let me know if you want me to roll again :D

Are you sure the ice golems can benefit from the haste spell?

You are correct but they were still inside the area of effect which is why I stated it. Thanks for keeping me honest Duardlara.

Greta moves over to attack the ice seer. Her blow seems like a telling blow that would drop the oracle but she manages to just move too quickly to get that critical hit she wanted. Haste just made you miss. Still the blow hurt the seer and Greta is now the target of her next spell.

Helgash Updated icon now meanwhile steps back and heals part of the party and himself from the previous wounds.

Cynehelm up, then glass golems, Yrax, Jetro, Baub, guards, Cesseer

"Sweet Lady," whispers Cynehelm. "We tried the path of peace. By the fiery orb of the sun, we did try."

Holding aloft the holy symbol of Sarenrae, he glares at the dragon. "I declare you an enemy of the faith. I cast you down among the damned. I cleanse your unclean body with holy fire and release your spirit to judgment."

Cast Intensified Empowered Fireball.

Intensified Empowered Fireball: 19d6 + 38 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 1, 2, 5, 5, 4, 6, 5, 5, 2, 6, 5, 4, 3, 3, 4, 6) + 38 = 116 (Reflex save DC 18).

That's a crazy amount of damage. Just a reminder from D'lara's earlier knowledge check, don't use fire on the golems. Cold is better, sonic is best.

Need an SR check please Cynehelm. Dc 25

Reflex save 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15. Oh come on

Yrax, so focused on the paladin that he did not fathom Cynehelm being a threat takes the fireball full in the face. However not all of the damage went through as he seems to be magically protected against fire.

Assuming he makes the sr check Yrax takes 116-30=86*1.5=129 damage...new target

Jetro decides to add a little more Umph at the expense of speed.

Shocking longbow,PS,DA: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 281d8 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Shocking longbow,PS,DA: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 231d8 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21
Shock: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Shock: 1d6 ⇒ 3

I held off on the Intensified Quickened Fireball. That would have been another 13 dice of fire damage. This build is seriously broken. We should have a talk about 2nd Edition at some point.

Caster Level check to overcome SR: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 Nope.

The glass golems pursue the only target they currently have available to them as they gang up on Helgash once again.

2 full attacks and 2 single attacks

slam 1 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27 for 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (5, 5) + 5 = 15
slam 2 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29 for 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (2, 2) + 5 = 9

slam 1 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27 for 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 1) + 5 = 10
slam 2 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27 for 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (6, 3) + 5 = 14

slam 1 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33 for 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (6, 2) + 5 = 13

slam 1 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28 for 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (5, 4) + 5 = 14

plus bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 3 if any hit

Saved from the massive amount of fire damage that Cynehelm was directing towards him Yrax knew that he had not waste another second on the pitiful others. Even though the archer was getting past his diamond hard scales it was just an annoyance compared to what the mage could do. Flying over Cynehelm Yrax pauses directly above and bites down him ready to unleash a full barrage of attacks next time.

greater vital strike bite 1d20 + 27 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 27 + 1 - 5 = 39 for 6d8 + 15 + 15 ⇒ (5, 1, 2, 1, 1, 8) + 15 + 15 = 48

Yrax's bite came down hard on the holy fireball thrower from a different planet. He could feel the warm blood runninginto his mouth and it tasted good. Soon the pest would be nothing more than meat in his belly.

As Yrax considered the pleasant idea he felt another prick of pain by his left shoulder. The archer had fired upon him again and injured him. It was merely a flesh wound but after the fire wielder the archer was next.

I think you were in the area of haste that Baub casts Jetro. You get one more attack at max BAB.

Baub, guards, Cesseer, Duardlara, Ice Seer, Helgash/Greta, Cynehelm, glass golems, Yrax, Jetro

Third attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 261d8 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

Baub flies to the south and drops to ground level, "Frizzle, frazzle, razzle and dazzle; zap!" he chants and unleashes an empowered piercing lightning bolt straight north using his rod (and meta-magic adept).

Lightning Bolt REF DC 21: 15d6 + 30 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 1, 6, 5, 6, 2, 1, 1, 3, 6, 1, 5, 2) + 30 = 77

SR check: 1d20 + 10 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 5 = 32

Baub the dragon is on the air. Do you want to hit Yrax or the guard to the far north?

Guess I did not need to drop then

Modify that to...

Baub flies to the south and rises a few feet to line up the dragon and the guard behind him, "Frizzle, frazzle, razzle and dazzle; zap!" he chants and unleashes an empowered piercing lightning bolt using his rod (and meta-magic adept).

Jetro fires another arrow but this one is wide of its mark.

Yrax reflex 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
Guard reflex 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Both the guard and Yrax fail to dodge out of the way of the lightning bolt. Yrax resist a bit of the blast though and is torn between attacking the fire summoner or the lightning bearer. Fire was more deadly however and Yrax licked his chops at the notion of feasting on Cynehelm.

Will get to guards tomorrow and Cesseer

My apologies. I never hit submit and was waiting on your guys...Fixing that mistake now...

The guard to the north steps up a 5ft and attacks Helgash with the aid of flank with the glass golems.

bastard sword 1-handed power attack raging 1d20 + 14 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 14 - 3 + 2 = 33 for 1d10 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 6 = 13
crit confirm 1d20 + 14 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 14 - 3 + 2 = 18 for 1d10 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 6 = 16
iterative 1d20 + 9 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 3 + 2 = 24 for 1d10 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 6 = 13

The guard attacks Cynehelm as well but does not have flank to aid his attack. As such he does not power attack to make sure he hits. Thankfully for him he is hasted and able to get an extra attack on the fireball throwing cleric.

bastard sword 1-handed power attack raging 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 14 + 1 = 33 for 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

haste 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 14 + 1 = 25 for 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Jetro takes a full round of attacks to the face for daring to hit he almighty Yrax.

bastard sword 1-handed power attack raging 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 14 + 1 = 17 for 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Greta likewise is facing off with one of the guards as it swings at her 3 times.

bastard sword 1-handed power attack raging 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 14 + 1 = 16 for 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

haste 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 14 + 1 = 18 for 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Cesseer, watching the carnage unfold before her, hears and feels the words from Helgash spurring her into action. The honorable paladin fulfilled his end of the bargain and yet Yrax threw away her one joy in life. She was bred and trained for honorable combat as she had just given. Now it was wasted and for what? To satisfy the spontaneous cravings of her liege, lord, master, what? He was her owner because of the price he paid for her. That was all. He broke his end of the contract though when he attacked. Because of that then she was no longer bound to fulfill her end of the contract. Mind made up she acted quickly.

Swift action to activate quick runner's shirt and move into flank with Helgash.

Flurry of blows to trip the golems in order
trip 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 18 + 2 = 39 vs CMD 27
trip 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36

2 of the glass golems crash tot he floor. she then turns from tactics to brutal damage as she pounds the downed golem with her shotel.

attack vs prone and flanked 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 2 = 17 for 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Seeing as her first attack did not damage the golem significantly she switches back to tripping to aid Helgash. I will knock them down you take them out.

improved trip 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22
last iterative 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

The flanked and southwest golems are prone. I shadowed them for reference.

As Cesseer leaps into the fray Greta lets out a howl of possessive rage. That is my man. Back off b!*%^

Duardlara, Ice Seer, Helgash/Greta, Cynehelm, glass golems, Yrax, Jetro, guards, Cesseer

I'm after Jetro, correct?

Yes sorry I didn’t copy the right list and forgot to add you in

Jetro grunts and slides back a bit, deciding that he really needs to thin the herd here and shoots the one who stabbed him right in the face.

Lightning bow,PBS,PS,Haste,RS,DA: 1d20 + 19 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (7) + 19 + 1 - 3 = 241d8 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16 #1
Lightning bow,PBS,PS,Haste,RS,DA: 1d20 + 19 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (4) + 19 + 1 - 3 = 211d8 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19 #2
Lightning bow,PBS,PS,Haste,RS,DA: 1d20 + 19 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (5) + 19 + 1 - 3 = 221d8 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22 Hasted
Lightning bow,PBS,PS,Haste,RS,DA: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (15) + 12 + 1 - 3 = 251d8 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17 #4

I think this is right. My Normal Rapid Shot attack is 3 attacks. Haste gives me one more

Shock: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Shock: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Shock: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Shock: 1d6 ⇒ 5

I think this is right. My Normal Rapid Shot attack is 3 attacks. Haste gives me one more

I believe you would have a fifth attack if you wanted it, but the penalties for rapid shot and being your third normal attack might make that more a longshot than you want.

Working on my turn...

Duardlara casts a spell (Ball Lightning) and three crackling balls of energy appear. Each flies toward the spellcaster (the ice seer) and threaten to electrify the man.

Reflex DC 19 to negate, one check for each ball

Ball #1: 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 3, 4) + 1 = 14

Ball #2: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 4) = 9

Ball #3: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 1) = 8

I attempted to put three yellow balls on the screen to identify the positions of the balls of lightning. I'm not sure if they are adjacent to the correct target. They are flying and do not provide a flank.

The hasted and invisible elf hustles from the hallway to the far corner of the room, moving as stealthily as she can manage.

Stealth: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (14) + 30 = 44 (Focusing on silence, it's another +20 to be detected by sight)

Reflex save 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Reflex save 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Reflex save 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

The ice seer spies the balls of electricity flying towards him and deftly jumps out if the way of all 3 of them.

Yrax watches as Duardlara moves across the battlefield.

The ice seer moves back 5 feet away from the powerful Greta only to see her step up along with her. Knowing that she has few options she tries to cast defensively icy prison on the winter wolf.

1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23 5th level spell dc 25

The spell fizzles though as she is too worried about Greta swinger her weapon at her.

Helgash/Greta up

"You should have just run - now you die" - Greta snarls at all those around her, but focuses on the caster.

+1 Greatsword: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30
Damage: 2d6 + 17 ⇒ (5, 3) + 17 = 25

+1 Greatsword: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32
Damage: 2d6 + 17 ⇒ (6, 5) + 17 = 28

+1 Greatsword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Damage: 2d6 + 17 ⇒ (1, 3) + 17 = 21

Helgash was at 75 hp, and took 88 points of damage + 3 Bleed.

Just as the guard's swing connects with the wounded Paladin, threatening to take him down, a flash of golden light surrounds and heals him

hero's defiance spell fires off for: 3d6 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 7 ⇒ (1, 5, 5) + 2 + 2 + 2 + 7 = 24

So he should now be at 11hp.

With a nod at Cesseer, the glow around his body only seems to strengthen, healing his wounds even further - "My friends need me"

Swift LoH: 3d6 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 7 ⇒ (1, 6, 3) + 2 + 2 + 2 + 7 = 23

He is now at 34hp

Stepping close to Cynehelm, he casts a protective spell on the cleric - "We stand together" - the paladin smiles.

Casting Shield Other on Cynehelm.

Concentration if needed: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Helgash steps back to heal himself after nearly falling to the glass golems. He acknowledges Cesseer’s help as well. With the dragon hovering above him he defensively casts a spell to take half of Cynehelm’s damage should the cleric be attacked.

To the south Greta lays into the ice seer with her first 2 attacks. The result is a dead ice seer on the ground in a pool of blood. Her third attack strikes at the guard escorting her and by the boost inher speed just manages to hit the raging barbarian.

With the enemy spellcaster dead and Cesseer joining the noble cause has the tide turned in favor of the heroes or will Cynehelm fall to Yrax’s attacks leaving the party without one of their potent allies?!?

Cynehelm up followed by glass golems, Yrax!, then range death from Jetro, Baub

Jetro you would get 4 attacks and unless something drastic happens that is all 4 hits on raging barbarians!

Thanks, Helgash!

Sorry to slow us down, but please check my understanding that none of us are yet injured. True?

Helgash is severely beat down. About 1/3 of his hp remaining. Duardlara, Greta and Baub are fine. I know Jetro took at least 1hit.

With a desperate prayer to Sarenrae, Cynehelm backpedals and touches Helgash.

5' step.
Lose divination to spontaneously and defensively cast cure critical wounds on Helgash.

Concentration Check (target DC: 23): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

Cure Critical Wounds: 4d8 + 10 ⇒ (7, 5, 3, 4) + 10 = 29

Cynehelm repays the favor done to him by Helgash restoring the paladin's vigor and healing his most serious injuries.
I believe fey foundling means Helgash gets another 8 hp back

The glass golems that Cesseer tripped or attempted to trip are free of their restraint against her and proceed to attack her in full force. 2 of them stand up provoking AOO's from her.

aoo 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31 vs prone for 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

full attack from glass golem

slam 1 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28 for 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (7, 6) + 5 = 18

Only 1 of the attacks manage to get through the dexterous monk's defenses.

The last remaining glass golem goes after its only available target in Helgash.

slam 1 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19 for 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (5, 7) + 5 = 17
slam 2 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24 for 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (1, 1) + 5 = 7 bleed 1d8 ⇒ 8
They are neutral Helgash so it just hits

hover check 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22 DC 15

Yrax hovers in the air dropping slightly 5 feet down to be able to attack Cynehelm with all of his attacks.

bite 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (8) + 26 = 34 for 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (7, 8) + 15 = 30

tail 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (3) + 21 = 24 for 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (2, 2) + 15 = 19 miss due to haste

possible wing 1 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (18) + 21 = 39 for 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
possible wing 2 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (8) + 21 = 29 for 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Any one know can a dragon make wing attacks if it is actively flying? Not sure how that works.

If not then 33 damage to Helgash and 34 damage to Cynehelm. If wings can attack then another 8 damage to Helgash and 10 to Cynehelm

Jetro unleashes his 4 attacks on the guards threatening himself and Greta. The first 2 arrows drop the first guard as he had already taken a shot from you earlier when he moved in to engage you and a blow from Greta. The last 2 shots strike the other guard bringing it below half hp.

Baub, guards, Cesseer, Duardlara, Ice Seer [dead], Helgash/Greta, Cynehelm, glass golems, Yrax, Jetro

Baub wanting to draw forth a spectral hand thinks better of it and opts for the straightforward approach. He lines up whoever he can with an angle to hit the dragon and casts yet another lightning bolt using his rod of empower and adding penetration to it himself, "Shizizak sizzle!"

Lightning Bolt DC 21: 15d6 + 30 ⇒ (4, 4, 5, 3, 6, 2, 3, 5, 3, 2, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2) + 30 = 81

Spell caster check + penetration: 1d20 + 10 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 5 = 32

Any one know can a dragon make wing attacks if it is actively flying? Not sure how that works.

There's no RAW reason why not. And I see it as the dragon striking you with the downbeat of its wings, so flying shouldn't impede it. It is, after all, a dragon. It should be terrifying to fight.

With Fey Foundling, Helgash regains 37hp from Cynehelm's spell. Then the dragon hits Cynehelm for 44 hp, half of which transfer to Helgash because of shield other. That means that after healing, Cynehelm took 22 points of damage and Helgash took 63 points of damage! How's he doing?

I divided the damage already for you Cynehelm due to shield other. You took the 34 and Helgash the 33

Reflex save Yrax 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24 takes 20 after lightning resistance
Guard 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 dead

Guards up tomorrow

The guard to the north 5ft steps up to get into flank on Helgash. From there he continues his assault on the foe who started this entire debacle.

For you glory Lord Yrax!!

Raging power attack with flank hasted 1d20 + 15 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 15 + 2 - 3 = 33 for 1d10 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 6 = 13

Haste 1d20 + 15 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (9) + 15 + 2 - 3 = 23 for 1d10 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 6 = 13

The southern guard continues pounding on Greta hoping to drop her so he can proceed onto the archer.

Power attack hasted raging 1d20 + 15 - 3 ⇒ (14) + 15 - 3 = 26 for 1d10 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 6 = 20

Haste 1d20 + 15 - 3 ⇒ (18) + 15 - 3 = 30 for 1d10 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 6 = 14

Cesseer continues her manipulation of the battlefield as she tries again to trip 3 of the golems leaving them flat on their backs.

improved trip 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26 down

improved trip 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36 down

She then use a swift action to spend a ki point to improve her AC.

Duardlara, Ice Seer [dead], Helgash/Greta, Cynehelm, glass golems, Yrax, Jetro, Baud, Guards,

In spite of the onslaught of attacks, Helgash is still smiling - "They do not yet understand my friend" - he speaks calmly to Cynehelm, through bloody teeth - "The day is already ours"

Helgash was at 34. got healed 37 = 71. Then he took 41 from the Shield Other spell + 25 from the guard. So he has 5 hp at the moment.

His body glows golden, and some wounds are healed by the power of Iomedae.

Previous round: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Swift LoH: 3d6 + 1d6 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 7 ⇒ (5, 6, 4) + (1) + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 7 = 31

Since this is a nasty fight, and I have been forgetting this (Greater Mercy) duh... My LoH should heal an extra d6 (+2 from FF)... So I rolled it for the previous round. Let me know if not Variel ;) He is now at 44.

"Kill the monster Cynehelm. Finish it!" - the Paladin adds, healing his companion.

Not sure if I can use LoH a second time - first as a swift to heal myself, then a standard to heal Cynehelm. If yes:

LoH on Cynehelm: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 2, 6) = 14

Otherwise I will use a CMW.

Greta shrugs off the attack from the guard - "Out of my way you bastard!" - she roars, repaying him in kind, eyes fixed on Helgash.

These guys have almost the same to-hit as Greta :P

Greatsword 1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30
Damage if it hits: 2d6 + 17 ⇒ (2, 2) + 17 = 21

Greatsword 2: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

Greatsword 3: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
Damage if it hits: 2d6 + 17 ⇒ (6, 4) + 17 = 27

Cynehelm had been readying another spell to keep Helgash alive. But the brave paladin's orders ring in his ears. Alright, he thinks. Time to end this.

He steps back and unleashes a powerful blast of fire that engulfs both guard and master.

Free Action: 5' step back.
Standard Action: Defensively cast intensified burning hands on the guard and Yrax, avoiding Helgash.

Concentration Check (DC 19): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16 Gah!
Intensified Burning Hands: 10d4 + 20 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 4, 2, 3, 3, 2, 4, 2) + 20 = 45

Unable to maintain his concentration in the face of the great beast, Cynehelm falters and the spell fizzles on his fingertips. "No! Dammit, not now!"

Helgash spends his efforts in healing himself and Cynehelm. Greta lands a few well placed blows to the guard to the south killing him. Cynehelm tries to add damage to Yrax and the last guard but the presence of Yrax is too threatening and his spell falters.

Bot Duardlara

Knowing that the dragon can sense her and without other targets Duardlara sends the electricity balls towards the guard and throws a fireball at the back corner of the room hitting Yrax and the guard.

The guard gets rocked by 2 balls of electricity and the fireball. He is battered but not beaten. Yrax avoided most of the fire damage but still takes some.

glass golems, Yrax, Jetro, Baud, Guards

The three glass golems all stand up to attack Cesseer hoping to add to the damage they inflicted last time.

Cesseer takes her AOO knowing it isn't for much damage 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25 for 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5) + 3 = 9

Glass golems 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26 for 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (7, 6) + 5 = 18
Glass golems 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19 for 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (7, 8) + 5 = 20
Glass golems 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22 for 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (7, 5) + 5 = 17

The golems all miss her. The last golem continues attack Helgash.

Glass golems 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34 for 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (7, 5) + 5 = 17
second attack 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33 for 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (1, 1) + 5 = 7

Both of the blows hit as he takes 1d8 ⇒ 1 bleed damage as well.

Hover check 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

Yrax manages to hover in place and attacks Cynehelm completely hoping to take him out so he can turn his focus onto the rest of the party.

bite 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (3) + 27 = 30 for 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (1, 3) + 15 = 19

wing 2 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (2) + 22 = 24 for 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (6, 4) + 15 = 25 missed

I show Helgash at 44hp to start the round. Took 24 from the golem and 1 bleed to bring to 19hp. Took 63 damage from all of the attacks. His hero's defiance kicks in for 4d6 + 7 + 8 ⇒ (4, 4, 5, 4) + 7 + 8 = 32 leaving him stable but unconscious at -12hp.Since his spell kicked in no more bleed.

Cynehelm was at 74-34+14=54-66=-12hp dying and dead next round unless healed or stabalized.

With the paladin and the cleric out of the way the focus was now on the flying spellcaster south of him.

Correction the guard is dead from the fireball. It is just Yrax and the glass golems left for enemies.

Jetro vows to turn Yrax into dragon steaks. Just like those folks that
Harvested monsters as rations

Balls

I gotta apologize guys - I guess the diplomatic approach worked against us.

Can the dragon fit into the halls?

It looks like he would have to squeeze.

Who is the lady in the winter coat in front of me, is that Greta?

That is Greta yes and Yrax would have to squeeze to get into the halls as far as you can tell. Helgash the diplomatic approach hasn’t failed yet. No one has died so far just need Cynehelm to be stabilized quick and you are good to go.

Jetro fires a bunch of arrows but the hard scales prevent the arrow from piercing him and doing any damage.

Also just realized that I forgot the fire shield on Cynehelm. Need to roll that for 11 attacks.

I show with this damage that he is at 170 damage so far. Big Change adding that extra damage right there.

You guys can tell that he prepared before coming into the room. He has resist fire (20) and electricity (20) up. He has also followed Duardlara's every movement as well.

Baub drops and flies down the southern hall. Then he turns to watch what happens as he summons a spectral hand.

Cesseer continues to assault the glass golems by sending them down to the ground to by time for Helfash and his honorable friends.

Yet with the sight of Helfash down her focus falters as she is only able to trip 1 of the ice golems.
