Wellards rescue attempt on RotRL

Game Master Wellard

Whoops...put her in the square behind Muchorak.

Map link for this page.

Thought I would be closer to the door since I imagined we killed the bugbear in the doorway, but I can work with it.

Romon crowds behind Ali and Muchorak and strains to get his view over the Shoanti's shoulder.

Marak will step behind the others, lamenting that he did not bring the prisoner into this room, where he could just leave her with the goblins. As he moves into position behind the others at the door, he choose not to pass by them into the next room, and instead calls upon the energies of creation to wash over all within 30 ft.

Inikai isn't in line-of-effect, unfortunately. Most of the people in the next room probably won't feel a thing, but Roman, Ali, Muchorak and the goblins feel a hot rush of power blast through them, searing away 2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5 hit points worth of wounds leaving behind freshly-healed and somewhat tender flesh.

Well the Goblins were unwounded..

Nualia sneers.."I suppose you think this is where I explain my plan to you giving you a chance to formulate some clever response...you must think I'm stupid..let's end this shall we."

Round 1

Nualia sneers.."I suppose you think this is where I explain my plan to you giving you a chance to formulate some clever response...you must think I'm stupid..let's end this shall we."

No Mister Bond, I expect you to die!

What about Lyrie and the dog?

Inikai dashes forward one step as if he intends to charge. But he stops as suddenly as he started as instead calls down a stroke of lightning on Nualia (or the dog if she is more than 40 feet away from Inikai).

I'm gonna be updated tomorrow, just to let you know.

Wellard you never said if Romon's decent Diplomacy check had any effect?

Knowing Nualia to be the most dangerous and evil foe, the druidess in wolf from dashes ahead trying to slip through the demon loving woman's place into the hallway beyond her, then spins around and takes a bite at her unprotected midriff.
Acrobatics:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 (w/ Mobility AC22 vs AoO's)
Attack:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 (bite treated as magic to overcome DR)
Damage:1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Muchorak moves to Nualia and swings with his blade...
I figure he takes the 10ft steps at an angle which would place the O to his right and the N directly infront of him. Longsword D20= 13+8 (+1 Magical Weapon)= 21, Dmg D8 3+4= 7

Lyrie and the Dog are both placed on the map..granted black on grey probably wasnt the smartest idea. the Dog is the D beside Nualia Lyrie is the L beside Inikai.. I also forgot the dogs initiative..I'm at work so dont have my ref material..combat continues in the morning

Romon spins to toss a quick, "Stay out of this and you will be safe." to the goblins. Then he checks on Lyrie.

My question in the last post was about her initiative and action as much as location. I don't want to get caught between Nualia and an aggressive mage.

As Lyrie is securely tied and gagged I doubt she'll be playing much part in this

Just checking. Didn't want a nasty surprise. Now if only Muchorak and Ali will get out of my way.... ;-)

Romon follows the wolf and the warrior into the fray. I'll wait and see what falls out before posting a combat action.

Revised initiative Order.

Inakai 25 electrifying
Ali 22 biting
Muchorak 21 striking
Oerik 21-
'Dog' 20.
Nualia 14
Marak 12+
Romon 12
Nathaniel 12-
Nualia is hit in quick sucession by Lightning bolt,bite and sword.

In return Oerik swings at Muchorak but merely clangs his sword on the flagstones.The Dog vanishes into the shadows and lunges at Ali it's jaws closing painfully on the little wolfs haunch(11 damage).

Nualia steps back her lips twisting in pain as she speaks a prayer to her dark goddess and dark energies roil from her inflicting 6 damage on many off those within 30 feet of her(thats everyone except Oerik and the Dog)

The goblin women collapse in a heap.

Round Two? In case it is not, I placed Inikai's actions for the next round in a spoiler.

Romon takes one last glance at the goblin women and Lyrie. "Just stay out of this and you'll be all right." He dashes for Oerik, but holds his sword in a low guard position and makes no move to strike. "Oerik, stay out of this. We'll set Lyrie free and you two can leave."

On total defense AC 19, diplomacy 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 don't know what you want to take off the roll for ongoing combat, but no one has attacked Oerik yet.

I just now found out you could magnify the map, it had thus far been pretty much incomprehensible to me!

Option 1 Marak attempts to move back in such a way that his his own Channel Energy will not affect Nualia, but will affect his allies and the goblins before attempting to counter her wave of negative energy with the energies of his own patron.

2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9

Option 2 If this proves impossible, he instead moves out of the doorway and towards their prisoner, turning to release his morning star to fly through the air towards the priestess.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Sorry for not being here for the start of the fight, guys. Nathaniel will cast Hold Person on Nualia on his next action

It's the end of round 1. You haven't missed much. I hope you guys put Nualia out of our misery.

STILL ROUND ONE

Inakai 25 electrifying
Ali 22 biting
Muchorak 21 striking
Oerik 21- missing
'Dog' 20.biting
Nualia 14 chanting
Marak 12+ counter chanting

Nualia freezes in place her eyes still glaring madly at you all(rolled a 1 on her save)

does Inikai want to revise his round 2 action?

Inikai will target the dog with lightning instead, if it will not endanger Ali. If it would he uses Focalor's breath on the dog instead. Fort save or be blinded for one round.

"Feel the power of my mind, b$!%&!", says the Chelaxian with a haughty expression.

I can't believe this fight might have ended so quickly..well I guess you guys had to get a lucky break sometime

ROUND 2 ACTIONS PLEASE

With the woman seemingly out of the fight, Ali turns her fangs on the dog
Attack & Damage:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 171d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Marak takes a double move action to move adjacent to the paralyzed priestess, morning star in hand.

Unable to avoid provoking an AoO from either the dog or Oerik, so he'll pass closest to the dog, hoping that it's AoO will be less brutal than the warriors. Very inconvenient that he can't Coup de Grace her from across the room with a ranged attack. :)

Muchorak will brings both his blades down on Nualia...
Longsword D20 17+6= 23, Dmg D8 7+4= 11 and Shortsword D20 14+6= 20, Dmg D6 2+2= 4

I'm going to take it that Muchorak does a Coup-de-Grace on Nualia

The Rangers longsword sinks into the womans belly angling up into her black heart and she dies.

Oerik steps back and sheathes his sword..

The Dog howls as it's Mistress succumbs and fades away into shadow.

Will saves everyone please..Marak's actions above are now Null and Void

Will save 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

With the priestess' fall, and her fiendish hound dispersed, Marak turns his sight on the remaining warrior, nodding acknowledgement that he has sheathed his blade.

Will save 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

better wait to see if I failed before posting actions

normally I'd make these for you but this is an important one and I know that Khaladon for one likes to be responsible for those

Thanks : )

Ali's Will Save:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 (Whew!I think? +2 vs illusions if that's in any way pertinent)

Will save:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

seeing Ali's post kicked my memory. Romon is +2 on saves v. enchantment.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

are you sure those saves are correct Nathaniel? They seem pretty low for a 4th level PC...but maybe I'm wrong. PS Oh, btw, Ali's at +5 because of her Combat Focus feat

are you sure those saves are correct Nathaniel? They seem pretty low for a 4th level PC...but maybe I'm wrong.

His Will save went up to +4 at 4th level, but otherwise they are correct. Since we just leveled up in media res, he might have missed that. Good catch!

Inikai watches Nualia fall and once again notes how deadly Muchorak is. "It would have been useful to have her as a prisoner" he thinks. His thoughts are suddenly interrupted by a sense of foreboding.

Just waiting anxiously to find out what we are in for now.

Muchorak spits on her body as he kicks it off his blade. Will Save D20 11+2 = 13

The Dogs howl fills Muchorak and Nathaniel with blind unreasoning fear.

Muchorak 2d4 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5 rounds panic

Nathaniel 2d4 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5 rounds panic

Romon feels the same fear wash over him but his elven blood helps him resist the effect(yes it was an enchantment)

Oerik bolts up the stairs dropping his shield on the way. Lyrie screams through her gag and tries to run as well.

A panicked creature must drop anything it holds and flee at top speed from the source of its fear, as well as any other dangers it encounters, along a random path. It can't take any other actions. In addition, the creature takes a –2 penalty on all saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. If cornered, a panicked creature cowers and does not attack, typically using the total defense action in combat. A panicked creature can use special abilities, including spells, to flee; indeed, the creature must use such means if they are the only way to escape.

Panicked is a more extreme state of fear than shaken or frightened.

Nathaniel drops his rapier and starts backing away, mumbling "Asmodeus, no... my mind... no..."

Marak moves into the doorway, to block any further attempts at fleeing the room (mainly to keep any afflicted allies from scattering to the four winds).

He raises his shield and takes up a defensive stance, hoping that none are so stricken as to strike out at any who block their flight.

Total Defense, he intends to wait until all have regained their senses.

Inikai sees what Marak has done and takes up a position behind him. He holds his morningstar at his side in a non-threatening pose. He holds his other hand palm-out in front of him.

"Muchorak, Nathaniel, they are all dead there is no threat here."

Total defense if they at attack.

Although she seems to ignore the newcomer, the small wolf looks on in confusion and concern as her pack leader seems to go wild, she can smell the rabid fear scent on him but cannot understand it's source. If he manages to escape though she will follow him, with her speed easily keeping up.

When the dog howls Romon feels the panic swell in him. He looks to the left and right, but finds no threat and draws a deep breath to calm himself. Looking over his shoulder he sees Nathaniel starting to crack.

"Hey, Chel, not afraid of a little dog are you?"

nightflier, I really like that you went with fear of losing Nate's mind.

Marak moves into the doorway, to block any further attempts at fleeing the room (mainly to keep any afflicted allies from scattering to the four winds).

Which doorway there are 6 exits from this room.

Muchorak and Nathaniel under DM control bolt from the room Muchorak heading south through the centremost door. Nathaniel heading back towards the temple area..both are running at top speed(4 times movement)

Aliwolf races after BigBear, having no trouble keeping up with him

Muchorak dashes though a door on his left and ends up in a bedroom..he cowers away from the small wolf into a corner obviously out off his mind with fear.After a few seconds though his eyes clear.

Nathaniels mind clears and he finds himself standing in a courtyard off sorts..the bodies of a number of goblins are scattered about and a large black horse is in the process of stomping a body into small bits[and now we know what happened to the ones who captured you]

"Hmm... what? Asmodeus, I hate dogs! First that flee bitten rug of a wolf and then... No matter. The whore is dead and I have avenged the insult done to my person." Nobleman stops for a moment to catch a breath and looks at a horse. "I say, I like what you did to the place. I always liked black horses. You look magnificent!" Perception 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 to determine if the horse acts like normal animal, or more intelligent.
