Game Master Unruly

Doh! I somehow missed the surprise round part. Have her cast this time. Thanks for checking my work.

Kel rushes forward.

Can only move 20 feet with a standard action, so that's what I do.

Surprise Round Update

Kel dashes forward.

Anevia tries to gain a better position.

Deia casts a spell, causing the demon to glow.

Rex Surprise Round

Rex continues to try to flank the cultists.

Round Summary

Move Action, Move 0619

Surprise Round Final!

Rex continues trying to move off in the distance.

Max decides to wait until further events unfurl.

The demon takes to the skies.

The cultist who appears to be the leader casts a spell, causing a shimmering bubble to appear around him.

Tina moves up.

Horgus stays back by Max.

Surprise Round Over!

Round 1 Begin!

Ausk Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

The cultists, having been caught off guard, rally their defenses.

The woman who had drawn her glaive casts a spell on herself, causing a shimmering barrier to wrap around her as she moves forward to engage Kel.

The other cultists draw glaives and cast similar spells upon themselves.

Lann moves up beside Kel, drawing his club as he goes.

Anevia moves up, taking aim and firing at the flying demon, but her shot flies underneath the creature.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Tina, you can roll multiple Spellcraft checks. One for each casting for a total of 5. I just did two spoilers because they were spread across two rounds, even though everyone cast the same thing. You'd just have to treat it as though you only knew what one of them actually cast. But since the spells all looked identical, I'd say it's easy to infer that they're all the same spell.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Three of them just cast a spell that protects against goodness!

Kel rushed to the prisoner's side, ducking and weaving to avoid attacks, drawing his old longsword from over his shoulder as he moved. He slashed the air angrily as he stepped close releasing a burst of destructive power that ripped at the bindings holding the prisoner captive.

Move in, draw weapon as part of move action, attempting to dodge AoOs with Acrobatics as part of movement.
Acro to prevent AoOs: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16
If that beats their CMD, I don't provoke. If it does't, I take an AoO from each on I don't beat.

Then, Shatter as a standard action, targeting the bonds around the prisoner's wrists. Spell Like abilities don't provoke.

Finally, if the Shatter successfully destroys the bonds (pretty sure it does, unless the bindings are magic), I hand the longsword to him as a free action. He'll have to get his legs free himself.

"Cut yourself loose, I'll cover you." Kel said to the half-orc.

According the the PRD combat actions table, spell-likes do provoke. It's extraordinary and supernatural that don't. Also, did you draw Radiance and your old longsword, or just the longsword?

They do? Wonder what I'm thinking of then. Hmm. I guess I take a couple AoOs. Can SLA's fizzle if you get hit? How can you make a concentration check if you have no actual caster level?

Only drew my old longsword. I still have my glaive in my main hand, and I'm not about to hand over Radiance.

Edit: Supernatural abilities. That's what i was thinking of.

Round 1 Update

Kel dashes in expertly, bobbing and weaving his way through the enemy attacks to reach the bound half-orc. When he gets there, he slashes feverishly at the air, causing the ropes around the man's wrists to burst apart. He then drops the man a sword to finish freeing himself with.
AoO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Anevia shoots at the demon, but fails to hit her target.

If Ausk's hands are free during his turn he will attempt to cut his way free using the longsword. Not sure the roll needed, GM you can make that roll for me

Otherwise, if Ausk's hands aren't free he will attempt to break his bonds Str: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

If Ausk's gag is removed he will respond to Kel Thanks Friend, these fiends will pay with their lives.

Max was delaying his surprise round action to act in the first round before the cultists did. At the beginning of Round 1, he drops Stone Call as shown on the map. This is before they cast Protection from Good (although it doesn't really matter much). He also gets to move to the top of the initiative order for Round 2. Hope that's all okay. (If you decide it's not, Max would've not delayed and would move up.)

A rain of rocks, pebbles and dirt falls from the sky, pummeling some of the cultists! Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8 bludgeoning damage, no save.

For the next 3 rounds, the area in blue is difficult terrain.

That's fine. I'll include the damage in my next update.

Round 2

Deia moves up, under the shelter of the gazebo. Assuming, of course that entering or exiting the gazebo doesn't hinder movement.

Hoping she can hinder the cultists, Deia utters a curse. "Stars of the sky, cast doubt into the mind of the cutlist!" Hex: Evil Eye (DC15, Will) targeting attack rolls on the northernmost cultist. The icon looks like a female tiefling.

Rex Round 1

Rex continues to move up to engage the cultists. His pistol is at the ready as he takes position by the broken benches.

Round Summary

Double Move to 1313

Round 1 Update

Max calls forth a rain of dirt and stone, wounding some of the cultists and turning the ground around them to a field of loose grit.

Deia throws a hex in the direction of one of the cultists.
Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Rex dashes forward.

The impish demon flies towards the gazebo.

The cultist leader draws his weapon and casts a spell. A bolt of crackling, unformed energy flies from the unholy symbol on his chest and strikes Kel.
Cast Defensively: 1d20 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 4 = 22 Kel Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10 Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9
As the bolt hits Kel he feels the energy being sapped from his body. Staggered and -1 AC, -1 attack rolls, -1 Reflex saves, half movement speed for 1 round

The imp-like thing was also in the blast range of the stone call (being 20 feet up). I think it should take at least a bit of damage, unless it resisted it all.

Round 2
Max moves forward and draws his crossbow! He fires a bolt at the tiefling that was hexed by Deia.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9.

With the rubble strewn ground preventing her from flanking with her bombs, Tina double-moves north and east

Sorry about putting rubble in the way.

Round 1 Final!

Tina circles around the gazebo.

Ausk grabs Kel's dropped sword and cuts himself free.

Horgus stays away from the action, as usual.

Round Complete!

Round 2 Begin!

Max moves and fires at one of the cultists, but the shot bounces off the woman's armor.

That same woman brings her glaive down on Kel!
Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 - 2 = 23 Confirm: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 - 2 = 10 Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The male cultist beside her brings his glaive down on Lann!
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

One of the cultists darts up to meet Tina.

The other female cultist steps carefully through the rubble and swings at Lann. Her strike lands true and Lann begins to bleed profusely!
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Lann steps up and swings his club at the first cultist who attacked him

Anevia steps into the gazebo and shoots at one of the cultists attacking Lann, but the shot barely scratches her.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

I don't think you factored my DR into that last attack. Also, I think that I should have gotten some Movement AoOs there. I have a reach weapon and Combat Reflexes. All of them that left squares I threaten should have provoked.

Kel swings his Glaive at the hooded cultist. 5' adjust to 1406, hit the male cutest in front of Lann.

Attack, aid, flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

I am currently threatening 3 cultists. If they move or cast on their next actions, I'm going to make them pay for it.

You would get 1 AoO from movement if you wanted to take it, which would be against the woman at the bottom because she's in difficult terrain and so her movement wasn't a 5ft step. The other two moves were either 5ft steps, or they were never threatened by you.

Thanks

AoO, aid: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 1 = 17
1d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

If Ausk is already standing and assuming his judgement is still available for the day.
Ausk takes a step towards the Cultists threatening Lann while screaming The Sword and the Glory! and swinging Kel's longsword in a wide arc. Longsword 2H Power Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 Longsword 2H, PA, Judgement: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

If Ausk is still prone, he will get up and intimidate the cultist

Intimidate: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 Your judgement and destruction will be swift!

Round 2

I don't see Lann in the tracking list, but he took two solid blows last round. Deia is moving forward as if he is rather seriously injured.

Deia shifts to the east. Move 2 squares east.

Starting a chant, Deia calls on the power of the stars. "Lann, may the stars give you life!" Cure Moderate Wounds for CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 2) + 3 = 10

Tina 5' steps back and chucks a bomb at the cultist 3 squares to the east.

Ranged touch,fire: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 272d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 1) + 3 = 10

Round 2 Update

Kel punishes one of the cultist women for her careless movement before he himself steps and attacks one of Lann's opponents.

Anevia fires into the melee, but just barely scratches her target.

Deia moves forward and pleads to the stars to provide some much needed aid to Lann, but the cultists intend to stop her. One of them lands a solid hit on the witch, causing her healing spell to fizzle away uselessly!

C3 AoO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

While we're at it, Max tries to identify the flying creature. Knolwedge (planes?): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Rex aims and fires at the nearest cultist 1109.

I think Tina has the chance to roll a critical hit on her bomb. As I understand the Alchemist rules, she'd get an additional 1d6+3 damage if she succeeds.

No crit hits

Actually, Bombs can crit. The bonus damage isn't multiplied, and neither is the splash, but the base damage (1d6+int) is

Tina, you should roll to confirm. The crit might not be big, but it's something.

Crit confirm: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 141d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Round 2 Update!

Rex takes aim and fires at the cultist that charged Tina, hitting him squarely.

The impish demon swoops down on Max, scratching at the wizard! Max begins to feel slightly sluggish.
claw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 Max Fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 Dex Damage: 1d2 ⇒ 2

The cultist leader casts a spell, causing his glaive to transform into a twisted, sinister looking version of itself.

Tina chucks a bomb at the cultist who moved to meet her. The bomb explodes in the man's face and he drops to the ground a bloodied mess!

Ausk gets up off his knees, adjusts into position, and cleaves through one of the cultists!

Horgus fires his crossbow at the demon and quickly fumbles about with reloading as the shot sails wide.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Round 3

Deia looks at the cultist leader casting a spell. Spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 The effects of the spell being cast elude her. None the less she says, "Use care, that one is casting as spell" as she points to the spellcaster.

Going to wait until after the cultists go before posting an action.

Round 3

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28. "It is a spell to enhance the deadliness of his weapon." Weapon of Awe.

Max takes a step away from the pesky Quasit and casts a spell to grease the ground beneath one of the cultists! Reflex DC 15 or fall prone.

Status: -2 Dex

Round 3 Update!

Max backs away from the quasit and casts a spell that makes the ground slick beneath one of the cultist's feet. The cultist loses her balance and falls to the ground!
Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

As the one cultist falls, the other yells out "Now!" and unleashes a wave of negative energy.

Round 3 Update

Kel steps into range of the cultist leader and drives his glaive into the man's gut.

Anevia fires at the leader, but her shot is deflected by his magics.

Deia implores the stars to save Lann. The mongrelman groggily opens his eyes as some of his wounds close and he regains consciousness.
