SwampTing's Untitled Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master SwampTing

Sue will detect evil, using a move action to concentrate on the creature. If it does detect as evil, Sue will inform her companions of such and will use her swift action to smite it.

While 42 is invisible, he grabs his broadsword and enchants it with plus 2 and dancing. Holds it in his hands until the creature is close enough to attack. When Fred is close enough, he will release it and attack with his sword, and let the broadsword attack with him.

Exiel stands his ground, readying an action to stab once the creature gets close enough.

attack roll: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

confirmation roll: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30
extra crit damage: 3d8 + 18 ⇒ (2, 2, 3) + 18 = 25

Alden and Naala will each spend a Standard action to aid Exiel. Naala will add +5 Dodge bonus to his AC, and Alden will add another +9 for a total of +14 Dodge bonus. Doing so makes Alden visible (since it involves an attack roll).
Alden aid another: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Naala aid another: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Sue discerns that Fred is evil, and declares a smite. Alden and Nala prepare to pull Exiel out of trouble if it looks like he'll get hit.

Fred moves into range, triggering readied actions by 42 and Exiel. 42 and Exiel tear into the large humanoid with scimitar and hooked lance (but not the broadsword), dealing severe damage. Fred raises a fist and swings at 1d2 ⇒ 2 Exiel.

attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

He misses because he did not roll a 20.

Initiative order, Round 3:
42
Alden
Exiel
Sue
Fred

Let me do some damage to you guys, damn you! Declare actions for round 3.

42 starts to cast defensively CD: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23 DC needed to beat, 19. Spell successfully was cast and 42 starts to blur. 42 then proceeds to dance and attack Fred. The broadsword attacks along side him.

Exiel will just stab at the large creature again.

attack roll: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Viscount Constantin Vladescu-Blakros hustles into the room, looking faintly embarrassed, as he draws his falcata.

"Apologies, Gentlemen and Lady; I got a little caught-up investigating the frescoes on the walls, and lost track of the time; I see that you dispatched an Ettin whilst I was busy... and now you have found something equally big and ugly!"

42 doesn't bother to look over his shoulder. "If you've got breath to apologist, you've got breath to fight." aka, just roll your Init and jump in.

Init: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14.

that places you next, before Sue and after Exiel. If the GM lets you join this round or next, I dont know.

That's fine, Constantin. You can act this round, though from where you are you'll only have a move or standard action - your move action took you to where you are on the map.

Waiting on Sue and Alden as well.

Initiative order, Round 3:
42
Alden
Exiel
Constantin
Sue
Fred

Constantin cautiously moves forward.

Still waiting on Alden and Sue. They both messaged me that they would be gone for the weekend, so I'll give them more time to post. Usually I would have moved us on by now. Please be patient.

It's cool. I'm just enjoying a beautiful sunny day here in Japan.... and working on a short story for graduate school.

Welcome back Constantin! Now help us smack that thing in the face! XD

Sue tumbles in. Acrobatics: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27 27 AC if tumble isn't good enough

before striking at the creature's foot.

Stunning Fist: 1d20 + 11 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 4 = 33
Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 4 + (6) + 8 = 24

Stunning Fist DC = Fort 17

Hmm... If Alden does not post in the next 3 hours, I'll put him into delay so we can keep moving on.

Ok, in the interests of moving on, I'm putting Alden in delay.

42 casts his spell and then slashes at Fred with both swords, but only the one in his hand hits. Exiel also continues to stab at Fred and strikes true. Constantin rushes in to join the battle and Sue concentrates her Ki and takes a good swing.

Fred's fortitude save: 1d20 ⇒ 11+'x'

Fred grunts from the impact of Sue's punch and decides to fix his attention on her, swinging both his fists at her as if to crush her between his fists!

Fred's attack roll 1: 1d20 ⇒ 1+'y'
Fred's attack roll 2: 1d20 ⇒ 1+'y'

Wow. Really? REALLY!? What is wrong with this this forum's dice roller?
Fred swings wildly at air and barely avoids smashing himself in the face as he does so.

Initiative order, Round 4:
Alden (in delay)
42
Exiel
Constantin
Sue
Fred

What if Fred had a third attack? (test roll): 1d20 ⇒ 20
The forum gods are trolling Fred...

State your actions for round 4.

All this while, Fred is still bellowing at the top of his lungs.

Everyone also roll a perception check.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22.

Viscount Constantin Vladescu-Blakros calmly steps up to Fred, and starts hacking...

+1 Keen Adamantine Falcata: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27, for 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 damage.

+1 Keen Adamantine Falcata: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12, for 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20 damage.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
42 sees Fred, he needs not look for anything else. He uses one 1arcane point to bring back his Ray of Enfeblement and casts it defensively. dc needed is 16concentration: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (16) + 21 = 37 and he swings with his scimitar.

Exiel's Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Lucien's Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

Exiel keeps swinging...err...stabbing... at Fred.

attack roll: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

42, Exiel and Constantin continue to wail on Fred with their weapons, and he falls beneath their onslaught of blade and hook. He collapses to the ground, breathing raggedly and unconscious.

Initiative order, Round 4:
42
Exiel
Constantin
----------------------(resolved)
Alden (in delay)
Sue
Fred

We're still in initiative. Declare your actions for round 5. Alden and Sue, you can declare for rounds 4 and 5.

Constantin draws up his weapon into a defensive pose.

He then casts a spell (Shield of Faith).

upon hearing Constatin's warning in Aklo, 42 looks again down the passage to see if he can see what's coming.

42 reaches back into his haversack and pulls out a wand and taps himself with it. Wand of Shield a small glow appears around 42 for a second then fades away, leaving behind an invisible wall that provides extra armor. Then he holds out the wand for anyone who wants to use it.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Sue will take a moment to limber up her arms and refresh her divine favor before putting the wand away and looking to her companions.

"Do you hear that? I wonder what fiends dare to assault us next."

Sue will then turn to her side and raise her left leg into a defensive posture and wait. Total Defense.

Exiel shrugs at Sue's query, being unfamiliar with the tongue being used by Constantin and 42.

"I hear them too, and from the sounds of it, I'm guessing that whatever's coming isn't going to be friendly. Probably friends of ol' Fred here," he replies as thumps the unconscious behemoth's head with the butt of his lance, then moves to the front of the group and prepares to defend himself. Full defence action.

42 switched back to common. "Sorry, thought everyone knew Aklo." He looked between the three. "I wouldn't suppose that one of you had some kind of arrow that we could shoot down the pathway? If we do, I might be able to light the way."

I could send a dancing lights spell down the tunnel if we need light. GM you mentioned earlier that there were glowy rocks around. Are those glowy rocks still around in this tunnel?

Yes they are, but remember they only provide dim light, so your allies are impaired if they don't have a better light source, Sir Darkvision.

Well, i do have 9 more skyrockets... i could just put a light spell on one and send it down the hallway. When it explodes we'll be able to see what it was and the biggest piece of the firework would still have the light spell attached to it.

Or I could send a dancing lights spell down the hallway. If I can change my action, I'll do that instead of the full defence action.

Yeah, my actions for this round are used up.... and a loud bang might announce that we are coming for a fight.

Sure.

Exiel, you send your dancing lights spell down the hallway, and as you do, you throaty growling gets louder and more excited. You see four burly, primitive-looking creatures with ape-like upper bodies, demonic horns, cloven hooves, and skin the color of snow-buried corpses charging down the hallway towards you with murderous intent.

42: They already knew you were there for a fight from "Fred's" bellowing.

Each of you may make knowledge:nature, knowledge:planes, knowledge:local and knowledge:history checks for various purposes here.

You also have one more round before they appear on the battle map (unless you do something to slow them down). Declare your action for the round, then roll initiative.

Knowledge(Planes): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21.

Init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
I'm glad my attack rolls are not like this. (Knock on wood.)

42 pulls out 3 Skyrockets with shortened wicks. He lights each one and lets them fly.

after the rockets fly, 42 grabs his broadsword.

Exiel looks at the creatures and wonders what it is about them that requires so many knowledge checks!

Knowledge checks
nature: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
planes: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
local: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
history: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Are these the same as the daemons you threw at us in Port Godless?If so, would Exiel be able to remember anything about them?

initiative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

As the creatures approach, Exiel utters a quick prayer to Torag for guidance and continues to stand his ground.

Casts guidance on self.

No Exiel, they're different. These ones appear a little sleeker and less muscular. Also, their fur is white rather than brown, they have much smaller horns, and most of all they are one size category smaller.

Still waiting on Sue's rolls.

Recalling what he knows about these creatures, Viscount Constantin Vladescu-Blakros casts a spell Resist Energy - Cold.

As a move action, he may trade out his current weapon, depending on what I am told about DR (if any).

Initiative: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (16) + 0 = 16.

Constantin draws his MW Cold Iron Falcata.

42 mumbles to himself loud enough for everyone to hear him. "Cold Iron, Why couldn't it have been Ghost Touch, Alchemical or Alchemist Silver. I have those weapons..." he says as he checks the two scimitars still in their sheaths. He looks back at his companions. "I don't suppose that either of you two have a Cold Iron Scimitar that i could borrow? as Constantin said, they are weak against it.. Oh, and if you can get your god to help, that might also work."

Whoa, for some reason I haven't been seeing a listing of how many new posts there are on this thing, and I didn't realize I missed so much. Sorry about that, everyone.

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

"Well, the head of my main weapon is made of cold iron..." Exiel says with a smile as he hefts his hooked lance.

"Well in that case, I will stick next to you, and make sure you do not miss with your strikes."

Alden will spend his actions adding +5 to Exiel's attack rolls with his cold iron weapon, and of course using Bodyguard to add Dodge AC as normal.

I do hope my character isn't too frustrating for you, GM Zay... I built him for a group that loved optimization (including the GM) and when I sat down at a table with him, I once got an actual round of applause from the other players, LOL

Nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Planes: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Local: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
History: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Sue will wait patiently, meditating on one foot.

I've got a bunch of cold iron shuriken if you want some...
