CORE CAMPAIGN (Inactive)

Game Master JASON RODARTE

@Uldar, no, you were right about not being able to draw the morningstar as part of a move action. Since the GM disallowed my strike last round, considering that I drew it last round.

The rogue does a mighty tumble but his wounds are a bit much for him to concentrate and he misses the skeleton.

So which skeleton and which zombie are still up? AKA, what's the current initiative order?

Clouida
Mao

Skeleton 2

Seeboinick
Aurus
Zombie 1

I believe that your inspiration only works within 30' correct? You might not be able to get every one from where you are right now.

Nope, "to be affected, an ally must be able to perceive the bard’s performance.", so it's more than 30'. I will discontinue the performance anyway, so only Cloudia and Mao will have the bonusses. I should have moved closer in the previous rounds anyway. ;-)

Sorcerer is up...

Cloudia readied an action. If nobody got his she loses her action.

The monk?

After taking down the first skeleton, Mao unleashes a series of kicks and punches towards the remaining skeleton.

Flurry 1, IC: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 + 1 = 12

Flurry 2, IC: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 + 1 = 20

Damage 1, IC: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9

Damage 2, IC: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5

Assuming the monk takes out the skeleton with those attacks (+2 from flanking btw.).

Uldar stops his performance, draws the wand of cure light wounds and moves towards the fight.

"Seeboinick and Aurus, slash that last zombie!"

Seebonickk drops his crossbow and tries to stab the zombie with his longsword.

attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Right, don't get in the way this time," Aurus grumbles at Seebonickk, ungraciously and incorrectly.

Great Sword, Power Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 6) + 7 = 16

He hits the exact same pillar on the back swing. "Oh, c'mon!"

"Oh, c'mon!"

”Maybe concentrate on your aim and stop power attacking!”

The monk was able to smash the skeleton with his second punch.

The gnome and the paladin however are unable to strike the zombie.

The zombie tries to punch the paladin again
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
missing

Deciding not to push his luck, Travail moves back to where he dropped his bow, and picks it up.

Travail
Clouida
Mao
Seeboinick
Aurus
Zombie 1

Uldar moves to the zombie and uses the wand to cast cure light wounds on it.

To Hit (vs touch): 1d20 ⇒ 10 for Positive energy damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 (Willsave DC 11 for half.)

Cloudia, uncertain whether a magic missile counts as a slashy, is reluctant to waste a spell that may be ineffective. So instead she lines up after the others and takes a wild poke at the zombie with her longspear.

To hit, soft cover: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (10) - 4 = 6

"Aurus, move into flank and finish this thing!"

This is the world's luckiest zombie, no one can hit it but it cant hit anyone either :)

"It ain't my strength that's the issue it's this damn - uggh, never mind," the paladin grumbles. He steps to flank with the gnome and adopts a more nimble stance with the blade, casually swatting away the zombie's awkward strikes as he does so.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 2 = 23
Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 5) + 4 = 12

Assuming Aurus' hit kills the zombie, Uldar uses the wandcharge on Travail.

cure light wounds: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Down goes the zombie.

END COMBAT

"Uldar, I never did get a chance to ask, but, um, you said slashies hurt zombies and I have a spell that sort of pounds them. Would that have worked?"

"Don't ask me I just use my sword!

"Uldar, I never did get a chance to ask, but, um, you said slashies hurt zombies and I have a spell that sort of pounds them. Would that have worked?"

Knowledge: Arcana: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Aurus wrenches the sword out of the zombie and begins to clean the blade on the undead monster's ragged clothing and chimes in before Uldar can. "Yeah, it prolly woulda worked - a force spell's made of magic, not steel, so it's a little different than, say, hittin' this mook in the head with a hammer. Magic don't follow all the same rules weapons do - but that said, a good foot of steel still hurts things that got full magic immunity. It's good to have options."

He looks askance at anyone who's surprised by his outburst of pedantry. "What? I read things too."

LOVED getting that 17 on the die XD

"Thanks Aurus. I'll remember that next time."

”If you ate referring to magic missle, yeah that would work. Another advantage over a sword is that a magic missle never misses!” Uldar replies grinning at Aurus.

”So where’s the necromancer?”

It should be Know Religion

I dont think that anyone has indicated that they are looking around.

Uldar looks around

perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

The gnome looks around the room.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

”If you ate referring to magic missle, yeah that would work. Another advantage over a sword is that a magic missle never misses!” Uldar replies grinning at Aurus.

Aurus grins right back. "Point - but I've also never had a sword insist we make camp before lunchtime cuz it used up all it's fight in some early-morning goblin raids." He hefts the sword for emphasis. "Takes all types, you know? I'm most impressed with the souls who got both in their corner."

As Uldar starts to scan the room, Aurus does the same.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

In the corner you see a large lump.

We examine the lump

The lump is a body, clothed in heavy black robes. It looks like it has been scratched and punched to death.

”Looks like our Nectomancer got more than he bargained for!”

Any loot?

There doesnt seem to be too much on him but an amulet he is wearing and grasps in his fist while there is a longsword in a sheath on his side.

"Do you think he was the great evil? He looks more like an unlucky evil to me."

Because he is a 'great evil', Cloudia actually casts detect magic and gives the room, and particularly the amulet, a good scanning. After all, you would expect a great evil to have magic wouldn't you? She is rather ignorant though, and has no spellcraft whatsoever, so no identification is possible.

After a few moments the sorcereress sees the sword and the amulet begin to glow.

”I assume our gillman friend will want the bodies of his folk have proper burial or other rites being performed. Let’s ask him what is appropriate”

Cloudia's mouth gapes open and she says, "They are magic. Real enchanted things. Wow. Do you think they might be cursed? Maybe that's why he died!"

Cloudia refrains from touching either of the magic items.

"Lets see!" the gnome grabs the items. "Am I a frog now?!

Wounded, Travail asks the bard meekly if he might spare a use of his healing wand to bring him back to health.

"No. You don't look any different except for the weird face you're making. How do you feel. Does it feel evil at all?"

weird face?!? This is my NORMAL face Seebonickk rubs his hands on the pommel of the sword. "Hmmm...NO not evil.."

Aurus grimaces at the gnome's cavalier handling of potentially evil artifacts. "Um, let's save that analysis for the experts, guy," the paladin says testily before beginning to pray for guidance on whether the magic items are evil... Or has turned the gnome evil for good measure.
