moving on from whether he disrupted the spell or not..he dmg. the mage 7hp and runa and hjort 4hp each..pretty good round. bottom line if ; u want to disrupt a spell with dmg. u gotta either ready an action (and then hit) or do something with continues dmg. (like alchemist fire or the spell acid arrow)

Understood. I was answering what I thought was Craggark's question.

Craggark u r up when u ready

Can a divine caster Spellcraft an arcane spell?

[dice=Spellcraft]1d20+5

The mage just enacted magical armor

yes you may look at the spoiler

Craggark tosses his alchemist's fire at the spell casting figure.

"Hjort, the Blood Ram tribe that you claim to represent is looking on your legacy with shame."

Thrown Attack at D3: 1d20 + 3 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 2 - 2 = 201d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 I'm assuming that the spell caster is human.

"Torvald, I had no idea that this was so much fun! Remind me to stock up on these in the future."

Craggark then cracks his neck and performs a kata move.

Martial Flexibility to change combat feats to Deflect Arrows. 5 foot step to close the gap.

The alchemist fire strikes true and the wizard is immediately engulfed in flames. His hands go to his face trying to put the fire out in his beard and hair. the screams are awful. Runa and Hjort also both scowl as some of the fire licks up on them.

Runa steps up behind Hjort and summons the dark energy of her God.
Runa channels negative energy neg chan: 1d6 ⇒ 4
DC:15 will for half dmg.
None of her compainions seem to feel the awfulness of their life essence drained but it hit's your entire party!
you all must save to only take 2 dmg. before u ask she has selective channel and a chr. of 16

Hjort spews obscenities as he moves in front of Jamir directing his off hand dagger at Jamir and his hand axe at Craggark. axe: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9dagger: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21dmg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Hjort is not evil and posses the feat "double slice" that's why his dagger does +4dmg.
Craggark steps aside the mighty cut but Jamir is not so lucky as Hjort's blade bites deep.

The 1/2 elven Monk moves almost death like quiet foward and attempts to slip past Craggark's guard without risking being hit. DC:21(Craggark's cmd:16+5{difficult terrain}=21acrobatics's check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 However the clever Craggark picks up the motion of the lithe 1/2 elf and doesn't waste the opportunity ...
need an AoO from Craggark on to the 1/2 elf Monk

It's Jawhar's turn; everybody ...don't forget your will saves vs. Runa's channel (DC:15)

Don't forget to add +2 to your Will save for everyone affected by PvE!

Will Save: 1d20 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) - 1 + 2 = 6
Perception (to see if sneaky is human or 1/2-elf): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
AoA: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 2 = 221d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10

Craggark shudders at the dark energy and doesn't notice if the sneaky one is elven or not, but his fist doesn't care. *crunch*

"Torvald! Target Runa!!!"

Will vs 15: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 +2 if dwarven resistance applies

GM, I made an error. I erroneously applied my 'Dedicated Adversary' feat to the attack on the sneaky one after I had already changed it to "Deflect Arrows". The AC that I hit was 20, not 22, and I did 8hp of damage, not 10hp. Sorry about that.

"Jawhar! Close ranks! Right behind me and next to Torvald!" the half-orc suggests.

Will save: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 1 + 2 = 16

Jamir shrugs off the worst of Runa's profane energy, but it affects him enough that he is unable to dodge out of the way of the barbarian's dagger, which slices through his armor and leaves a bloody gash across his chest.

It's too solid a hit for Dodging Panache to help. Down to 3 hp. Jawhar, you're up, then Jamir. More in Discussion thread.

Will,PvE: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 = 9

For several reasons, I would prefer to be in B7 (protect Craggark's flank, 5-foot step would allow me to exclude the mage from a channel). Unfortunately, I need to get close enough to touch Torvald with the wand... I'd also like to Channel this round, but I would end up healing (at least) one of the enemy :(

5-foot step into C7, zap Torvald with PvE. Drop wand as a free action.

Jamir spits blood through his teeth at Hjort and grins at the big Ulfen.

"How many of your countrymen have you killed today? Your misguided quest for revenge against an imagined enemy ends now, murderer!"

Jamir draws his rapier, and hacks at the big man.

Rapier: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 171d4 ⇒ 2

Fyi, Jamir is likely to drop if Runa channels again, so you should all be ready for that. Torvald, you're up, might want to target Runa straight off - the wizard is already on fire and has to deal with that on his turn, and if she channels again you wouldn't be able to interrupt her anyway. Craggark, when it's your turn, you might want to five-foot step into B7 to avoid the flank.

Edit: if Hjort attacks Jamir on his next turn, as an immediate action Jamir will use Underfoot Assault if Hjort misses, and Dodging Panache to convert a hit into a miss if adding Jamir's +3 Charisma bonus to AC would make the difference.

Torvald I can't find if it's allowed or disallowed right now so assume it's disallowed for now. I can tell you she's plenty dangerous. The channeling ability alone is very dangerous to your party.It's your turn Torvald

Craggark lands a solid blow on the monk..He hears bones crack the monks eyes widden at the skill of the brute 1/2 orc. Jaimr lands a painful blow on Hjort while Jawhar hits Torvald with a protective wand.

Tovald arches one eyebrow at the screaming wizard and lets out a low whistle. "That's amazing, acid and fire--and look at you! Still standing! You may have a bit of dwarf in you, tough guy!" As he speaks, he pulls a flask of alchemist's fire from his vest pocket and lobs it at the priestess. "Runa, I presume? Hold this for me will you?"

Alchemist's Fire at Runa: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 Spicy!: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

...oh dear. Well, splash 4. Ref13 half. I hope I'll at least get the wizard...

Well , well, guess I don't get to slaughter you guys after all...Runa's touch AC:9! that's a hit!

Torvald disgusted at being pushed around by Thugs and particularly angry at having dark magics used on himself and his comrades, reaches in his bag for one of his last precious alchemist fires. Because of his position high on the sacks he has a clear view of the evil priestess. He grasp the familiar weight of the clay flask and feels comforted. The impact is horrific...Runa dances around screaming completely immolated by the flames and the wizard Lazar burning himself, has yet more flaming liquid splash on him reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16. The wizard avoids the worst of it but his clothes are still on fire. He immediately drops to the ice covered ground and tries to extinguish the flames...reflex: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 = 4 but the sticky liquid fire is too resilient dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 3, and soon he lies still on the ground, his face burned beyond recognition. Runa continues to scream...yet her struggle soon ends..she struggles to maintain composure as she drops to her knees..engulfed in flames..you were to be my servants in the hells?.. her voice trails off in a rasp as she falls into the snow an unpleasant odor drifts towards the group.

obviously I incorporated the wizard's turn into Runa's because of the splash dmg. Runa is out and still burning. The wizard stop burning but is un-moving. It's Craggark's turn!

"AND THAT'S WHY YOU NEVER DUMP DEXTERITY!!" Torvald bellows, then looks confused. "Why did I say that?"

"Excellent," the half-orc grunts unsarcastically, judging the distance between the monk and the raging barbarian, and deciding to attempt to end the threat of the monk.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 1 = 211d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

The brawler unleashes a furious left kick into the half-elf's chest, satisfied at the further crunch he feels. He incorporates that motion into his last kata move of the day, a curious pose involving a scooping arm motion and dangling ankle. He then advances on Hjort, speaking in the strange lilted tones of their shared language.

Martial Flexibility to switch to Improved Trip. 5 foot step to C5.

A thunderous crack resounds through the courtyard as several of the Monk's ribs break and a tremendous glop of blood spews from the half-elfs mouth staining Craggark's armor. The Monk crumples to the ground his breathing is shallow and slowing ...it appears he's not much longer for this world.

Hjort looks at Craggark fell his buddy and responds to him in a deluge of spittle and broken Skald while bringing his weapons to bear on the Frostkin.

axe: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6dagger: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9dmg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Craggark side steps the dagger but the axe gets past his shield and bites deeply through his armor.

It's Jawhar's turn

Yes!!!

Step back 15ft (2 squares off the map), which I believe gets the spellcasters out of range. Go another 5 if I miscalculated.

Exclude Monk and Hjort.

Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Nice!

Feeling recharged by Jawhar's sunburst of positive energy, Jamir lunges forward and jabs his rapier at Hjort's side.

Rapier: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 151d4 ⇒ 2

It's as though my attacks do no more damage to him than would a bee sting. Sting, hmmmm... Perhaps that would be good name for... no, that would be silly.

EDIT: Jamir stays in place so that if Craggark wants to five-foot step into D4 on his turn, we can flank Hjort. If Hjort drops Craggark first, Jamir will get out of the way on his next turn.

8 hp and counting down!

had a second to check in ..um..I'd like one of two things 2 happen either Craggark moves back to C6 or we need to retcon an AoO by Hjort..you can't 5ft step in difficult terrain .. I won't roll the AoO until Craggark has decided that way it won't effect his decision

Hey y'all, headed to bed, if it comes up here's my actions.

Craggark we're waiting on you. Torvald has a held/readied action. 1st you'll need to decide if you took the AoO last round (if you decide not to, move back to C6) then you'll need to decide what you do this turn. Please don't spoil yourself and read Torvald's actions before you decide your own.

It's early afternoon for him - he rarely posts at this time of day.

I'll move back to C6. I've no way to change the map right now, so cheers to whoever can do that for me. GM, let me know when/if I can look at Torvald's spoiler.

Craggark attempts to sweep the Ulfen's legs out from underneath him.

Improved Trip (no AoA trigger): 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 2 = 26

AWWWWWW YEAH!

The Ulfen then circles slowly around the now-prone barbarian's flank.

C6 to B5 to B4 to C3

Can't you get to D3? If you're going to stay close, you might as well give us a flank.

I'm specifically giving space for Torvald to bomb him, now that he's on the ground. You've got a +4 to hit in melee, but I'm giving Torvald a shot.

Got it. Moved your token. Hjort is next, then Jamir, and after his attack he will five-foot out of the way for Torvald to take his shot.

You might get him with your AoA. You know he's going to try to stand.

Hort stands up since even if Jamir crits him for max dmg. he won't go down on the AoO Hjort does stand; The spoiler is his 5ft step back and attack against Craggark if Jamir doesn't drop him to exactly 0hp (if Jamir does drop him to 0hp he still 5ft toward Craggark just no attack and moves toward Craggark axe raised

If it's just Craggark in melee with Hjort once Torvald's turn comes back around I'll just throw, 4fire to Craggark (2 on a save). If Jamir steps into melee too I'll delay again.

"Normally, I would not strike a man when he is down, but in your case I will make an exception, you murderous bastard."

Rapier, AoO vs prone: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 211d4 ⇒ 4

No crit, but another solid hit at least. After Hjort's attack, Jamir delays his action until after Torvald's throw.

I can't heal Craggark anymore, as he moved onto the spellcasters, so I'll just move adjacent to Torvald and draw my scimitar.

Jamir delays, and shouts:

"LIGHT HIM UP, TORVALD!!!"

Hjort staggers to his feet suffering a vicious cut from Jamir for his troubles. He moves toward Craggark and takes a wild swing that Craggark easily dances out of reach of. Jamir tempted to run in and finish the barbarian off with another thrust, instead eyes Torvald from the corner of his eye. The Dwarf is balanced on the shifting grain sacks with his arm cocked back ready to thrown more burning death.

Instead of blocking the Dwarf's shot,

"LIGHT HIM UP, TORVALD!!!

The Dwarf who's eye, was following every movement of the Red Bearded savage, immediately lets the vial fly. It arcs thru the air majestically, striking Hjort right on the pate of his head. A wave of heat and fire rolls over Craggark who is also touched by the flame but, not nearly so much as Hjort. Hjort's screams and wails are uncharacteristically sad and soft. The flames lick up his body like a dry bush. When he stops moving even Craggark cannot help but feel a little pity for the way of the man's death.

No need for Craggark to make a save as Jawhar can just channel everyone to health. Congrats guys, you won! Look for an epilogue post over the weekend. I'll post something about purchases and inventory tracking sheets in the discussion form. For now know that all the Trollheim guards(that u met out front) are alive and in your debt.

Reflex Save (for fun!): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Holy damn, by my count, Torvald left Hjort at -13hp. I'm assuming, given the dated nature of this scenario, that he's not an Unchained Barbarian, so that's at least another -2hp now that he's done raging, leaving Hjort a very crispy critter at -15hp. Well done, fellows.

Under his breath, Craggark watches the fireball that once was Hjort's body. "Gorum awaits those who die in glorious battle. This was a pathetic display by a craven man. No one waits for this spirit in the afterlife." He spits on the ground beside the burning corpse.

Craggark moves to the forms of the fallen soldiers of Trollheim, helping to revive them. Once assured that they're not dead, he moves to examine the bodies of Hjort's comrades, leaving the Asmodean for the last.

If any of their enemies cling to life, Craggark pauses over them, and gains Jawhar's eye. He addresses the priest. "Abadar preaches balance in all things, but payment for services rendered must be given. What does Sarenrae say?"

I want to end these villains. Abadar, please let me collect the taxes.

In the meantime, Craggark searches their persons, looking for potions that might be healing, as well as other loot.

"Sarenrae brings holy vengeance to those who fail to repent, and redemption to those who do.

None of these have shown any signs of penitence. Pharasma can judge them now."

Jamir stalks over to Runa's corpse, crouches down, and whispers in her ear.

"I do not know if you can hear me, or if you are already on your way to Hell. But I know this was your doing, Asmodean. And whatever your torment is in your master's realm, it is no more than you deserve."

He spits onto her lifeless face before he stands.

"That is for my mother's father, Kepli Galonnica, of the Westcrown Galonnicas, you devil-worshipping murderess!"

Oh, we are playing for keepsies!

Abadar, the tally has been sorted and the taxes have been settled.

Craggark then places copper, silver, or gold pieces over the eyes (or where the eyes were) of each body, using coins that he finds in their possessions.

Torvald shrugs. "Angrimm is a god of duty, protection, and fire. Forgiveness is earned, and these bastards didn't."

As the battle resolves the guards begin to stir from their stunned slumber. Many thanks are offered to the party for their bravery. Your group finds several incriminating scorched documents on Runa's body. Most of the documents are in some type of cypher (DC:20 linguistics) you resolve to bring them back to Venture captains Bennary and Drandle Dreng. Your first stop is back to the Inn to pick up Skagni's chest. You leave Trollheim as soon as you are cleared of any wrongdoing in the attack on the armory.

When you arrive back in Kalsgard you find out that Venture captain Dreng has returned to Absalom to try and recover from his illness. Venture Captain Bennary takes the cyphered papers and sets about getting them interpreted. She gives you a week off but, tells you to stay in Kalsgard. A week later you are summoned back to the Grinning Pixie. Venture Captain Bennary has grim news. It seems Skagni might have been abducted and taken to the interior of Irrisen! What's worse, Runa white may have been a part of the Shadow lodge organization!

The papers in her possession indicate that not only was an organization very similar to the Shadow lodge responsible for giving Runa orders but, they also may have organized the attack on Hjort's village under the guise of Pathfinders. Bennary is clearly enraged she stalks around the desk like a predator. we're going to hit these so called Shadow lodge fiends back for the trouble they've caused mark my words! she slams her first to the desk. But, first we've a comrade to rescue....are you all ready for another mission?

we will continue this dialogue as we start part 2. This concludes Written in blood

The Nag brays indignantly.
