Wormy's Wrath of the Righteous (Inactive)

Game Master WormysQueue

reflex_1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
reflex_2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
reflex_3: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Kendren's spell is not as effective as he probably wished for. At least, one of the opponents entering the room loses grip and falls cursing to the ground.

Or maybe it is, because the one that just attacked Iolaire has to concentrate on holding balance that he can't avoid her mighty blow cutting deep into his shoulder.

In the meantime, Lann has started climbing down the rope but has to wait for Kendren to scale the way down to the ground before. Which force Rianne to wait as well.

Now, it's the enemies turn again. The one who just got hurt be Iolaire, one arm hanging limp from the side drops his crossbow draws a club and tries to hit her with that, while the one behind him cautiously stands up again and grabs his crossbow up that had been fallen from his hand.

The other two attack Alfred, one with bare hands, the other one with his club.

attack Iolaire: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
slam Alfred: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
club Alfred: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

All three fail miserably, only making Alfred more angry then he already was before.

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 crit confirm: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
crit dam: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (7, 1) + 10 = 18

The fighter hits with such a power that he not only shatters the first one's skull, but also drives the weapon's head directly into the second enemy's face, using the mometum of his attack to great - and lethal - effect.

Hope that no one is minding that I won't waste the critical by holding to strict to the rules :)

Seeing most of the mongrelmen moving to engage either Alfred or Iolaire , Arianna decided the best shot was probably going to be the one in the back with a crossbow despite his cover and quickly fired off an arrow attempting to hit the mongrelman managing despite her haste to fire an arrow through the barricades and the people in the way of the shot to deliver a shot to the mongrelman.

ranged attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
possible crit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

damage for bow shot: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Kendren finishes descending the rope, stepping to the side to allow Lann to finish his descent. Considering his options, he decides his best bet is to fling a gob of acid at the mongrelman in back.

Acid Splash: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Iolaire follows up with another attack at the mongrelman at the other side of the barricade.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
but this time her opponent is warned and succeeds in ducking the attack. Which gives way for Arianna's bolt to fly directly to the back into his companion's shoulder, only to get immediately burned by Kendren's spell.

Now it's unto Lann to reach the ground, making his way towards the enemies, while Rianne directly follows behind him. But the enemies don't wait for their demise to meet them. One of them renews his attack against Alfred, while the second one tries to get to Iolaire and the third unloads his crossbow in Alfred's direction

mongrelman 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
mongrelman 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
mongrelman 3: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Springing up from his ducking position the mongrelman flails at Iolaire and lands a terrible blow right into her chest. 8 points of damage. The other two fail.

Round 4

Quick question - Io is using a reach weapon so does the mongrelman have one too or should there be an AAO as he moves into range?

Dammit, I forgot about that and as per the map, the position of your opponent isn't totally clear I assumed he was in melee reach. Might make most sense if I let you do an AoO before.

Kendren hucks another gob of acid at the mongrelman furthest back.

Acid Splash: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Also, if he moved in order to reach her, he has to make a DC 10 Acrobatics check or fall prone in the grease.

Chuckling with glee at his last attack's results, Alfred once agains tries to bring havoc down upon his enemy.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 Morning Star
1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 Holes and bruises

But obviously the amount of gore and flesh still stuck to the morningstar throws off his aim.

I hereby give the GM permission to roll all Alfred's attack rolls :-).

Uldir grunts as another section of crumbling stone sloughs off his rapidly shifting shoulders.

As the mongrelman attempts to slide inside Io's guard she slashes low at his leg, hoping to hamper him before he can reach her.

AAO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Still not seeing a reasonable path to getting into a better position Arianna would again attempt to take a shot at the mongrelman who'd stood up and was now attempting to get in close to strike at the paladin.

attack roll: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 4 = 18
possible hit: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

I see that Iolaire has still a regular attack to make before it's the mongrelmen's turn. So I'll only post the attacks of the other two mongrelmen and what for Iolaire's opponent til after her move. Everyone else can also post their next attack which I will resolve after Io and her opponent have acted.

Alfred's miss give his opponent time to clear his head and he attacks the fighter with newfound vengeance. He hits Alfred's head and for a short moment the world is spinning around him.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

The third mongrelman looks for another victim, as even a shot as good as the last wasn't able to penetrate Alfred's defenses. In this moment, he's hit by another of Arianna's bolts and nearly thrown against the wall behind him. Murder in his eyes, he returns the favor with his own bolt. But as the combatants between them move, he misses the shot.

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15 1d8 ⇒ 5

Sorry! My bad.

Round 4
Iolaire steps back from the mongrel's club and heaves an overhead blow onto it.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
I guess that will dispatch him? :)

Round 5
Seeing Alfred taking a beating to the head Io closes back in to take the mongrel's attention. Alfred, close in so I can strike!" Assuming Alfred 5ft steps up...

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Before her opponent can do more damage, Iolaire's overhand blow nearly beheads him, blood spraying over her weapon's head as the mongrelman's lifeless body goes down.

Seeing this, Lann decides to come to Alfred's aid, easily jumping over the barricade to the fighter's left. His opponent's eyes widen in shock when they see him, then his faces changes into a grimace of hate. "Murderer!" The cry accompanies a brutal swing of the mongrelman's club, who for a moment seems to totally have forgotten Alfred's presence.

AoO: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

In the meantime, Rianne has also reached the ground, making Uldir the last man standing in the room above, still in the process of turning back into his dwarven form.

Arianna ducked as a bolt whizzed right by her head and she glared at the mongrelman who had decided to shoot it in her direction. Quickly she raised her bow to take another shot at the mongrelman who was already starting to look like a quiver.

ranged attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
possible hit damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Kendren again flings a gob of acid at the back mongrelman.

Acid splash: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

"Oh! No you didn't".

Alfred takes a mighty backhanded swing at the bold creature, swinging around from over his shield, and overextending himself.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 AM distant sun
1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 Black Hole

With Arianna and Alfred's direct hits, the remaining to opponents fall lifelessly to the ground, the eyes of Alfred's victim still directed towards Lann, full of hate and accusingly wide open.

With the final two mongrelmen dead before them, Kendren breathed a sigh of relief and dismissed his grease. "I'm guessing there's no ambushing whoever's in the next room. Shall we?"

Uldir, back in his dwarven form, slides down the rope. "Hoo! What'd I miss?" he calls cheerfully, looking around the room at the corpses and carnage.

"A bunch of angry mongrelmen." Iolaire replies, gingerly rotating her shoulder. There is a brief flash of pink and a faint smell of roses and she takes her hand away looking vaguely surprised, but moving more freely.

"We'd best carry on - this is going to have alerted every other person in this place I imagine!" Suiting actions to words Io leads the way past the barricades and up to the partly open door behind them. Using her glaive she eases the door open and looks beyond...

"If they are alerted to our presence we should proceed cautiously so we don't walk into another ambush like this one." She said nodding down in the direction of the dead mongrelmen at their feat as she slowly put away the shortbow and drew out her rapier and dagger. With her weapons in hand she joined Iolaire by the door letting the much tougher paladin lead the way into the next room.

Meant to do a LoH in my last post... LoH: 1d6 ⇒ 6

"I can summon some scouts for us...or shift back if you want, but I suspect I'd be more use supporting our warriors than joining them for now."

Dp we have a map of the dungeon so far? I don't have any mental picture of where we're going or where we've been.

Kendren stands behind the others and says, "I'll prepare to move and create another pool of grease. That seems to allow us a certain amount of ability to handle things."
