A more Savage Sandpoint. A new look at an old friend.

Game Master ZenFox42

Who's left out?: 1d5 ⇒ 5 Alphabetically, that's Velrek

Flyer #1 attacks Ceri :
Fighting: 1d8 ⇒ 5

And hits, doing
Damage: 1d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + (5) = 8

Its claws rip her arm, but just scratch her, un-nerving her a little bit (Shaken).

Flyer #2 attacks Crastor :
Fighting: 1d8 ⇒ 6
And misses.

Flyer #3 attacks Evesk :
Fighting: 1d8 ⇒ 8
ACE!: 1d8 ⇒ 5 = 13, Hit with a Raise

And hits him squarely, doing
Damage+Raise: 1d4 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + (1) + (4) = 6

But the blow glances off his armor.

Flyer #4 attacks Jzero :
Fighting: 1d8 ⇒ 8
ACE!: 1d8 ⇒ 5 = 13, Hit with a Raise
Damage+Raise: 1d4 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + (5) + (6) = 14
ACE!: 1d6 ⇒ 4 = 18, 2 Wounds

Its claws rake across his chest, drawing lots of blood.
You can Soak at any time...

Everybody is up!

Ceri tries to regain her wits :
Spirit & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 3

Spending a Bennie...
Spirit & Wild: 1d8 ⇒ 71d6 ⇒ 1

And she tries to use her magic :
Spellcasting & Wild: 1d10 ⇒ 81d6 ⇒ 3 = Raise

Vines fly from her fingertips and wrap around one of the flyers and its wings. It drops to the floor.

Crastor calls upon his inner powers and sends a blast of energy up at the strange creature.

Cast Bolt. I am not going to use any Modifiers.

Spellcasting: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Spellcasting Ace: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Wild Ace: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Damage with Raise: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 4) = 16

Damage Aces: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9

So that gives me an 11 on Spellcasting and 25 on damage.

"Don't ignore me, beasts!"
Velrek drops his sword and pulls his bow out.

Unless pulling the bow is a full action, he'll take a shot.

Composite Bow bow, in case: 1d8 ⇒ 4
wild: 1d6 ⇒ 5
damage: 1d6 + 1d10 ⇒ (5) + (5) = 10

Benny To soak
Vigor: 1d10 ⇒ 3
Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Which puts him down to 1 benny left, so better save it. Lost one wound at least.

Composite Bow: 1d8 ⇒ 7
Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Modifiers: -1 (wound)

Composite bow Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + (4) = 9
Composite Bow Raise Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
AP 1

Jzero sends an arrow after the one who wounded him. Then he moves toward the double doors hoping to force them to stop their swooping attacks at him.

Since Evesk doesn't have a bow, he'll go on Hold.

Crastor's bolt is more powerful than usual, and punches a huge hole thru the flyer's chest. It drops to the ground, dead.

Readying up to two "easily accessible" items (like a bow *and* an arrow) is a Free Action.

Velrek's arrow flies thru the thick leathered wing of one fo the flyers, it shouts in pain but continues to remain in the air (Shaken).

Jzero's arrow nicks the leg of another flyer, you can see blood trickling from the wound (Shaken). He moves to the cover of the double doors.

Round 2!

Hey, a straight!

Crastor and Ceri are up!

FWIW, less than 10 minutes to create, update, and post...

Jzero used a benny for the soak, so he's down to just 1.

Jzero is far enough past the double doors that the fliers will have to fly through the doors to get to him.

Crastor sends another bolt at the closest flyer.

Cast Bolt again, no modifiers.

Spellcasting: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Wild Die: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Yeah...

1 level of Fatigue for Crastor (-1 to all rolls for the next in-game hour...remind me about this in a couple of IRL weeks... ;)

Man, I hate Bound and Entangled. It took me 10 minutes to figure out its penalties, what to do to escape, and the results for various die rolls (Success, Raise)...

Flyer #1 tries to escape the vines :
Athletics,-2 Entangled: 1d8 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2
Despite his desparate struggles, he remains Bound (+2 to be hit).

Flyer #3 tries to recover from Shaken :
Spirit: 1d6 ⇒ 6
ACE!: 1d6 ⇒ 1 = 7, Success

And attacks his attacker, Velrek :
Fighting: 1d8 ⇒ 8
ACE!: 1d8 ⇒ 1 = 9, Success

He claws at Velrek :
Damage: 1d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + (1) = 3

But his claws just slide off his armor.

Flyer #4 tries to recover from Shaken :
Spirit: 1d6 ⇒ 1

But cannot seem to shake it off.

Everyone else is up!

Velrek takes a shot at #4...

Composite Bow bow: 1d8 ⇒ 5
wild: 1d6 ⇒ 2
damage: 1d6 + 1d10 ⇒ (2) + (6) = 8

Jzero struggles to fire his bow properly, dealing with pain from his wound. He decides to direct the arrow at the entangled one, hoping it is easier to hit.
Composite Bow: 1d8 ⇒ 4
Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Modifier: -1 (Wounds) + 2 Entangled
Result = 4 - 1 + 2 = 5

Composite bow Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + (1) = 5
Composite Bow Raise Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Raise ace: 1d6 ⇒ 2
AP 1

Crastor reels from the strain of using arcane might, but tries to do another blast.

Bolt, no modifiers.

Spellcasting-Fatigue: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Wild-Fatigue: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Evesk moves over to the bound flyer, shouting "Die, you unholy scum!" and swings his longsword at it :

Fighting & Wild,+2 Bound: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 71d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

And hits, doing

Damage: 1d6 + 1d8 ⇒ (1) + (5) = 6

But the sword slides off its tough hide.

Ceri pulls out a whip and tries to lash the bound flyer :

Fighting & Wild,+Bound: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 101d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
ACE!: 1d8 ⇒ 5 = 15, Raise

You all hear it crack as it hits the creature, doing

Damage+Raise: 1d8 + 1d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (4) + (5) = 15
ACE!: 1d4 ⇒ 2 = 17, 2 Wounds

And the tip of the whip nicks an artery in the creature's neck, and it bleeds out.

Round 1 Summary
Crastor tries to cast a spell, but it backfires, leaving him reeling.
Velrek’s arrow bounces off the flyer’s hide.
Jzero’s arrow also bounces off the bound flyer’s tough skin.
Evesk attacks the bound flyer with his sword, but its leathery skin protects it as well.
Ceri manages to kill the bound flyer with her whip, much to her surprise.

Crastor, we’re still in the same round, so I’m ignoring your second attempt to cast a spell (at least you get to keep the PP…).

Oh, I saw you say everyone was up and thought that included me. I will add back the point.

Round 3!

Crastor – if you’re keeping track of your PP, please check my current value for you in the spoiler and let me know if you agree or not, thanks!

Ceri and Evesk are up!

Oh yeah, that's me... ;)

Ceri and Evesk both go on Hold in case one of the remaining flyers attacks them.

Flyer #3 attacks Velrek :
Fighting: 1d8 ⇒ 8
ACE!: 1d8 ⇒ 7 = 15, Raise

He claws at Velrek :
Damage+Raise: 1d4 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + (3) + (3) = 10

His claws scratch some exposed flesh, disorienting him (Shaken).

Flyer #4 tries to recover from Shaken :
Spirit: 1d6 ⇒ 1

But still can't seem to shake it off.

Everyone else is up!

Velrek shakes his head and...
Spirit: 1d6 ⇒ 3
wild: 1d6 ⇒ 6
wild xplode: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Raises his bow at the beast still reeling (shaken)

Composite Bow bow: 1d8 ⇒ 8
wild: 1d6 ⇒ 5
damage: 1d6 + 1d10 ⇒ (6) + (7) = 13

shooting xplode: 1d8 ⇒ 1
damage xplode: 1d6 ⇒ 1
raise damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

I should be at 4. I am tracking. I did not cast the last spell which would have put me at 3. If you look back to your post on Friday, August 1st for Round 1, I started at 6 PP. I had the awesome spell in round 1 that put me at 5 and the terrible spell in round two that put me at 4.

Crastor - ok, thanks!
Velrek - because of the way Paizo runs its dice, it's important that as soon as you get an Ace, you make your *next* roll the re-roll for it, and not put all the re-rolls at the end. It didn't cause any problems in your last post, but it might have....

I thought posting after the rolls already up (after hitting preview) instead of inserting them between the first set of rolls so you got new numbers was the way to do it?
I copy/paste the full roll, skill, wild and damage for attacks, click preview to see if any are aces and then post ace rolls at the bottom. I thought that if, for example, my shooting die was a D6 and I aced as above and I inserted the ace roll between the shooting and wild die it would take the 5 from the wild D6 roll.
Should I be posting each individual roll, hitting preview and then posting ace rolls? So post the attacks, check and post aces, then same for wild and damage?

Jzero?

Velrek - please see Discussion...

If Velrek did not kill the shaken one, Jzero will attack it, otherwise he'll target the last one.

Jzero puts another arrow to the bowstring, draws it back, and releases it, in one fluid motion, focusing his on his target and nothing else.

Composite Bow: 1d8 ⇒ 6
Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Modifier: -1 (wound)
Result = 6 - 1 = 5

Composite bow Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (2) = 8
Composite Bow Raise Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Composite Bow Raise Damage, Ace: 1d6 ⇒ 4
