Wrath of the Righteous- Beer and Pretzels (Inactive)

Game Master drbuzzard

init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

If Kevin drops his target, then Mol will squeeze past into its space.

Otherwise, he hangs out and offers helpful tidbits.

(Is that a solid wall, or a railing that a person could climb over?)

solid wall

Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Tanrov waits in the conga line I guess.

Init: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Uelarik guards the rear as he waits for the others to move up.

Everyone does go before the baddies (but I gather the logjam prevents most from acting).

Kevin hits his target, but fails to drop him.
A bunch of them wail on Kevin since he was kind enough to step into the middle.

PCs are up.

The constable tries to move past Kevin to save the paladin some beating but the place is truly crowded... so he starts chopping towards #2 to free some space.

Apply cover as appropiate, merciful Doctor Master
Power Scimitar: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 6 = 20

You miss due to cover.

Kevin prays to his goddess to heal his wounds and then attacks number 3. If he drops he moves into his spot.

LoH: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11

#3 drops

there are more than 2 PCs, and Kevin has cleared some space.

Holding his holy symbol, Xandarian raises his hands and intones the bless spell over his party.
+1 morale bonus on attack rolls and saving throws against fear effects for 4 minutes.

Tanrov casts shield of faith on himself to boost his AC to 19

"After you Marcus."

Uelarik moves up behind Molitor.

Waiting on Molitor.

OK, I guess Moli isn't around at the moment so will hold his action pending his character getting the boot.

The cleared space goes away as #8 moves up.

2,8 attack Marcus

PCs are up.

Marcus decides that the wall is too much obstacle for him and decides to go full ham on #8.

Power Scimitar: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Power Fist: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Went full retard instead of full ham... Great

If a space opens up Tanrov will do his go and I will post it then, if not he will whack the wall next to him trying to get through to the bad guys.

Wall Smash Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 6) + 9 = 16

Kevin sees the hole close up and turns to attack the one who closed it.

+1 Cold Iron Scimitar: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 1 = 17 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Molitor holds his action, waiting for his companions to clear the way.

Uelarik again holds his action, waiting for the others to move up.

Molitor hits the wall with his adamantine morningstar

damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Kevin hurts his target but does not drop him.

Baddies go.

and on Marcus
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 14 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 hit

PCs are up.

Oh GM sir did my whack on the wall have any effect or is it too tough/thick?

You cracked the stone a bit.

Marcus resumes his attack on #8, using only his scimitar grabbed with both hands because the clutched space means he can't punch and slash to the max.

Standard Power Attack, if I drop the tiefling by any chance, I will five foot step into his place.
Power Scimitar: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 6 = 15
Confirm: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
If crit add: 1d6 + 8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 6 = 20

You make space and move into it.

Tanrov will move into the opened space at the base of the stairs and then take a powerful swing at 2

Earthbreaker-PA: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Earthbreaker+PA Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (2, 1) + 9 = 12

Possible concealment for 2: 1d100 ⇒ 27

"Behind you Marcus." he calls

you miss.

"Dammit!" The cleric shouted. "It's a killing floor up there", referring the second floor landing. "Is there anyway we can make them follow us downstairs to fight with more room!?"

People? that's only half responding since wednesday? Do I need to clean house? I intend to finish this AP. The party I do it with I am willing to change.

It's not that. The current scenerio is tactically challenging. No one wants to run upstairs and get slaughtered by those damn tieflings. It would be more 'heroic" if Xandarian used his merger fighting abilty to help, but knows the odds are against him. I'm just playing my character.
Speaking of the AP, I gotta say I don't like it. It's a slog. My happy-go-lucky cleric has been turned into a healbot. I'm committed to playing, but if this party desolves, I'm not gonna cry about it.

The thing is, while there's a ton of guys up here, they are individually fairly trivial. One solid hit and they drop.

There are more interesting encounters along the way, but honestly this is pretty much a fighting AP. Not a lot of intrigue when you are fighting a demonic invasion.

Sorry. I thought I had gone this round. I haven't been getting enough sleep lately.

Kevin attacks tiefling the ninth and misses him wildly.

+1 Cold Iron Scimitar w/PA: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 - 2 = 7 Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 4 = 9

Uelarik will continue to hold until he can get up the stairs.

"Oh, to Hell with this!"
Brandishing his rapier, Xandarian rushes up the stairs to stand back to back with Marcus.

Molitor watches the cleric rush past with raised eyebrows.

"Spunky lad."

He closes up behind Tanrov.

Kevin misses.

More hapless tiefling attacks.

on Kevin
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 7 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 miss

1 on Marcus

PCs are up.

Kevin swings at the ninth tiefling yet again. "That was a bit reckless Xandarian, but brave!"

+1 Cold Iron Scimitar w/PA: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 - 2 = 18 Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 4 = 12

If the tiefling drops Kevin moves into his spot removing the flank on Xan

Kevin finishes off the Tiefling (making space).

Marcus resumes his attack on #2, two-handing the weapon again.
"Hey, we are making some progress! Good job Xan and fellas!"

Power Scimitar: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 6 = 19

Marcus drops his foe.

Xandarian knew the strikes where coming and was relieved to be still standing. With his rapier, the cleric stabs deep into #6.
Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Dmg.: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

hit, still up

Molitor moves in to engage Tiefling #5

morningstar moliation: 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 1 = 15 (2h, power attack)

damage: 1d8 + 10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 3 = 18

miss

Tanrov will move past Marcus into open space and attack 4

Power attack earthbreaker: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Power attack earthbreaker: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 1) + 9 = 13

"Let's drive this rabble off! To the Grey Ladies realm with you!!" and then he almost falls over his own feet

It is quite clear that the dice gods hate you.

Uelarik moves up to the top of the stair and fires a magic missile at #6.

damage: 2d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4) + 2 + 2 = 11

Uelarik kill steals the cleric.
