will, shake it off x2 : 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 2 = 26 +2 vs fear

"Well that was unnecessary, aye Karsk? Karsk? What have you done to him you creep?"

Nigel will 5' to be adjacent to the creature and draw his staffsling while invoking a bane vs undead into the weapon.

staff, bane: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 2 = 26 for dmg: 1d6 + 3 + 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + (2, 6) + 2 = 18

Just guessing undead-ish, if bane does not apply, deduct as necessary

Karsk drops his weapon and stands there dumbfounded.

Nigel standing right next to the dwarf, draws his staff sling. Invoking it with holy powers, he swings at the enemy. A burst of energy engnites when he strikes Ctenmillr. While it was a solid blow, the attack appears to be only half as effective as Nigel thought it would be.

Leopold & Aothan up!

Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

"Oh my. . . "

Will (circ vs evil): 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 2 = 20

"From the darkness, his golden orbs see injustice..." Aothan whispers as he moves forward, drawing his kukris and making a single attack.

kukri (flank): 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 2 = 271d4 + 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + (4, 1) + 2 = 10

It now has a DC 14 will vs my Aura of Menace (which isn't mind affecting, weirdly enough) and has to deal with my 5 DR/Evil. My ac and saves is 2 higher from my constant Circle, as well as for allies without Deflection/Resistance bonuses, respectively.

-Posted with Wayfinder

That sounded like a Takei, Oh My, to me.

Aothan makes his way from the empty room and into the corridor. As he passes by Ctenmillr, the dwarf takes a swing at him!

Will Save vs AoM: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

AoO vs Aothan: 1d20 + 15 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 15 - 2 = 23
Dmg: 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Ctenmillr shakes off the aura's effects after he brains Aothan. The archon is able to reach his destination. Aothan slides his kukri in between the joint plates, but is unable to damage the dwarf's resistant skin.

"Yes, draw closer. I will need new thralls."

Ctenmillr's muscles flex as he grips the warhammer tightly. He then twirls and swings at Nigel.

Power Attack, Cleave vs Nigel: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
Dmg: 1d8 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25

Crit Power Attack, Cleave vs Nigel: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14
Dmg: 1d8 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24

Erastil smiles upon thee.

Power Attack, Cleave vs Aothan: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
Dmg: 1d8 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20

Karsk & Leo are still stunned.

Aothan and Nigel are up!

Do we still have our temp hp from Aothan in the mud crossing (or was it reapplied?

Nigel, waits (delays) for Aothan to go while the bees still ringing in his hands from the hit.

All temp hps are up

Lol.

Leo stands still, his muscles frozen in fright.

I don't think I've been able to do a single useful thing in this game, lol. Enchanters, man, enchanters.

Threnodic Spell is every Heavens Oracle and Enchanter's friend, not that it'd be much help for you right now.

GM; if we are flanking him, then Cleave couldn't go off on me; we weren't adjacent (though he still has a good chance of hitting with a 13 on an iterative that I'm sure he has, do ho ho.)

Aothan takes the hits 27/55 and fights defensively to keep the mans attention until the big-weapon guy can be not-stunned!

kukri 1 (twf, defensive +3 AC): 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 - 4 = 101d4 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (2, 4) = 9
kukri 2 (twf, defensive +3 AC): 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 - 4 = 221d4 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (2, 4) = 9

AC, assuming he's evil, is 22 now. 3 dodge from defensive and 2 from Circle.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Thanx for keeping me in line Aothan. I've been using Goblin Cleaver which allows me to Cleave non-adjacent enemies. I made the same mistake during Free RPG day. With the iterative, I would have hit AC 18, which is a miss

Aothan attacks are unable to break the defenses of the heavily armored dwarf.

Nigel up!

Or, for updating notes/ideas, Cleaving Finish from Ultimate Combat is literally 3.5 Cleave and has no "adjacent only" clause. Does have cleave as a prerequisite, but is still almost worth it since it doesn't take an action. 47/55 then

Oh and kukri might have crit if it hit. Oops!

crit #2?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 241d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

He decides to change tactics. He deactivates bane.

"Well that ain't working. Where's that damn paladin when we really need him? Never around I tell ya!"

concentrate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 vs DC 19 casting invis defensively.

He will then move 20' south along the western wall.

22 didn't crit. Sorry you wasted that Nat 20. I thought Nigel can only move 15', unless I'm missing something.

"Yes. A paladin would be tasty."

And like that *poof* . . . Nigel is gone.

Unfazed by Aothan, Ctenmillr takes a 5' step before the wall of Leo and Karsk.

"I didn't forget about you two."

Power Attack, Cleave vs FF Karsk: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25
Dmg: 1d8 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27

Cleave!

Power Attack, Cleave vs FF Leo: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
Dmg: 1d8 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27

Crit Power Attack, Cleave vs FF Leo: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
Dmg: 1d8 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22

The entire party is up. Remember, Leo & Karsk, your primary weapons are on the ground.

15' is correct - forgot about med armor. Updated my spot on map to account for 15' (moved South, not north...although now wishing I had LOL)

Now I'll be helpful in the opposite direction! Isn't a Warhammer a X3 crit?

Aothan will hit himself with another Aid and step up to provide some flanks!

delicious temp hp: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Also, those with Aid have a +1 morale to hit that I totally forgot about myself. Forgot my Dr earlier; I am at 52/55 plus whatever I rolled for temp HP.

-Posted with Wayfinder

It is. I'll keep that in mind for next crit. Not going to add on damage at this time.

Karsk & Leo are up!

Lol, primary weapon? My useless enchantment spells you mean? ALL OVER THE GROUND?

Oh, and thanks for not adding the x3 damage. Leo would most certainly be dead. He's at 3/52 right now.

"Ow!" Leo calls out as the dwarf thing nearly cuts through him. "Geeze, what did I do to you?"

Leo takes a step back and takes out a rope, dropping it on the ground next to him. He then casts a spell.

If it comes near, the rope gets a trip attempt at +8 but the dwarf thing gets +4 CMD because it's aware of it.

Sucky, I know, but I don't know what else to do at the moment.

Assuming Karsk is no longer stunned, Nigel is going attempt to invisibly walk up (north 15') and pick up the greataxe and hand it back to Karsk.

Let me know if this is out of order and cannot be done. I would not think this would provoke, but hey, gotta die sometime and Karsk is more likely to hurt it than we have been so far.

Karsk works himself into a rage, his outline becoming blurry, and takes a step back, drawing his lucerne hammer and swinging at the creature.

Rage, Arcane Bloodrage for Blur.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 2 - 2 = 14
Damage: 1d12 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 4 = 20

Well that sucks...

Aothan will keep in melee and will attempt to Aid Another defensively (lowering AC for Karsk, not that it would matter this round with that 3.)

aid ano def: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 6 - 4 = 20 AC is +5 over header amount by PoE and defensively.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Seeing Karsk already moved and has a large hammer, Nigel will cast weapon of awe and swiftly change his judgement to destruction.

Karsk's great axe suddenly starts floating in the air beside him. Ignoring the kind jester, Karsk steps back and pulls out his hammer. As he begins to blur, it appears Karsk's vision becomes blurry too, throwing off his swing.

Tripvine: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

The rope on the ground thrown by Leo whips out at the dwarf as he closes the distance. Ctenmillr walks by as if he was crossing a puddle of water.

The dwarf then looks deeply into Karsk's eyes. In a melodic whisper, Ctenmillr simply says, "Join me and you will see the world until the end of time."

Karsk's Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Karsk feels that Ctenmllr is actually an alright guy.

New Round

Aothan moves closer to maintain range with Ctenmllr. As he moves into the square, the rope whips out and tries to trip him.

Tripvine: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Aothan easily avoids the trip vine and distracts Ctenmllr for Karsk. Karsk tries to shake off the effect of Ctnmllr's request as the archon's heavenly aura surrounds him.

Karsk's New Will Save: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7

The floating greataxe drops to the ground, followed by incantations and a momentary glow of a halfling's slingstaff.

Leo is up. Karsk will "delay" this round.

Leo runs to the other side of the room. Withdrawing.

"Then I stand to fight." Aothan stays steadfast, hoping his ally breaks his mental block soon.

kukri 1 (defensive +3 ac): 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 4 = 61d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
kukri 2 (defensive +3 ac): 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 6 - 4 = 201d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

AC is +5 over header. Updating health bar now.

"Friend, knock out the gnome. I wish to have him for dinner."

Ctenmllr then turns around to see Aothan alone with his kukri in his hands.

"And you need to be tenderized."

Power Attack vs Aothan: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25
Dmg: 1d8 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21

Second attack Power Attack vs Aothan: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Dmg: 1d8 + 19 ⇒ (7) + 19 = 26

New Round

Aothan tries to fight back, but Ctenmllr's defenses are too strong for the rogue to break.

Leo, Nigel & Karsk up!

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

"Hey! I recognize enchantment when I see it! Harsk, stop it! Don't you dare come near me!"

Casting Hold Person on Harsk. DC18 Will save or be held by Leo.

Save vs Hold: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Karsk growls at Leo and moves toward him, only to freeze in place.

Ha! It actually worked! I didn't expect you to fail.

hp: 52 + 12 - 21 + 5 = 48

"Run if you can!" Aothan will attempt to cast Aid himself again (though defensively), since he's entirely useless vs the undead beyond having Toughness!

concentrate DC 19: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

One hit without aid and I gotta teleport out of here. My strength can't break his DR, and I'm just stalling for you guys.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Nigel (double) moves over to Leopold with swift change his judgement to healing "Psst, hand me your dagger"

Nigel is trying to help as he can break the DR (barely)...but he will not last long unless Aothan can crit it a few times too."

Leo hands over his dagger, not having much use for it himself.

Likewise, I'm going to be useless here. My dino was my melee/combat supplement for when my enchantments didn't work. Should have taken the risk and brought him along.

Leo stays in place Karsk in place while Nigel moves up to Leo.

Left alone with Aothan, Ctenmllr turns to the Aothan with red pin points glowing in his eyes.

"I have not tasted your type before."

Grapple vs Aothan's CMD, AoO if you wish: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Ctenmllr grabs onto Aothan and tries to wrestle him against the wall.

Aothan tries to grant himself some temporary relief, but is unable to concentrate with a dwarf trying to bite him.

Aothan, you've been jumping ahead the last couple of rounds. Wait until Ctenmllr goes again before posting your action.

Leo, Nigel & Karsk up. Karsk just needs a will save as Full-round action to break Hold Person.

Ha, oops; apologies. I'm used to being the lax poster. Though my CMD doesn't have my Circle's +2 deflection (or fighting defensively's Dodge) in it, so I should squeak by until he rolls slightly better a second time.

AoO (actually remembering my enhancement bonus to damage): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 101d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

-Posted with Wayfinder

See, I'm all confused =v) Space and time does not follow the same rules with Archons. So Aothan is not grappled, but he's already acted this round.

We're like Inevitables, except we get Light Rays that pierce DR.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

"Grrrrr!"

Nigel casts invis on Leo after seeing karsk break the hold. He then moves 15'around to the west.

Karsk is able to break the magical hold that bound him.

Nigel makes Leo disappear as well.

Leo up!

Uh oh. Total defense and hope he misses.

With only one enemy in sight, Ctenmllr tries to grapple Aothan again.

Grapple vs Aothan's CMD: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

Again, he barely misses the archon.

Party is up!

Gulp.

potion: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Nigel will call out.

"Aothan, either move to a better spot where I can help you or let me know if we are running. I do not like our odds here with Karsk kowtowing to this heathen."

Nigel will double move across the room (healing from judgement) and avoiding Karsk.

Assuming that trip vine is still active and visibly in the square north of the BBEG

Leo finds a potion and drinks it. Nigel continues to be evasive as he moves around the room unseen.

Aothan up.

Noting that the small ones are invisible and Karsk is possibly lost to vampirism, Aothan will drop his Circle vs Evil as a free, attempt to restart it as a swift (to get Karsk another save.) If that fails in any facet, he will step south and teleport outside to the acid jet area to await the remainder of the carryable (since the dwarf has shown no aptitude for seeing invisible people.) If he passes (as determined by a response to asking him if he's back in control of himself), full defence.

concentrate DC 19: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

-Posted with Wayfinder

New Will Save: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 = 18

Legwork done: I'm thinking of a 3.5 artifact.

Aothan will be stepping south and teleporting to the other side of the room, far enough that his short legs have to double move to get to me and where Karsk counts as "in the way" enough to prevent charges. Next round I'll do my circle manipulation.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Nigel will cast magic weapon on the dagger and move up 10'. As a swift he changes his judgment back to destruction.

Still ragin and confused, Karsk turns and charges his nearest ally.

Not quite sure who that is.

Power Attack, Charge: 1d20 + 13 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 13 + 2 - 2 = 22
Damage: 1d12 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 4 = 19

Aothan takes a 5' step back. He then disappears, then reappears on the far side of the room.

"Take down that mad popper, pal," Ctenmllr cries out.

He then double moves next to Aothan.

Nigel makes his dagger magical and moves ever so slightly against the wall.

Karsk charges the only victim he sees, Aothan. The greataxe comes down upon the archon with a crash.

Leo & Aothan are up.

Is the tripvine still in effect or did that dwindle? I am avoiding that area since I thought it was still there
