GM Newsie’s - The Dragon’s Demand (Inactive)

Game Master Brominate

Mori flies up to get a better vantage point but the moment she's higher than the 8-ft-high ledges, two rocks come whizzing towards her from the south. The first misses but the second hits her wing, dealing 2 points of damage. The bird caws out, drawing the attention of the rest of the party

Fly DC 10: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Fortunately, Mori is able to stay in the air.

Combat is beginning!

Blue and Green // Guruthos // ?? // Hanzo, Mori, Joriannika, Thomas // ??

Sling: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Sling: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Two more rocks come hurtling from atop the westernmost alcove, one heading again towards the bird, and another heading towards Guruthos. Both fall short, one landing in the 20ft-deep trench, and the other plunks down maybe 6 full feet away from the elf.

Blue and Green // Guruthos // ?? // Hanzo, Mori, Joriannika, Thomas // ??

I don't see Green on the map

A growl escapes from beneath his mask, as Guruthos looses an arrow toward the nearest visible kobold (blue).

bow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 4

He calls, "Mori, come" and the raven flies back to the elf and plunks down behind him for safety.

You are correct, you don't see Green.

Guruthos only caught a glimpse of one of the assailants when he fired his arrow. He didn't see the creature, but the echos of wood hitting stone meant he'd missed, and the kobold was likely laying flat, where he wouldn't be seen.

A faint sound of falling rocks echos across the large room, and a small dust cloud can be seen behind the westernmost alcove.

Hanzo, Joriannika, and Thomas may act. (Mori too, if Guruthos wants).

He nocks another arrow and backs slowly out of the room, expecting to back into his companions. As he does, he warns "Ambush."

"this time, I am getting in prepared!" He speaks some unknown and unheard words that sound much softer than his recent outbursts.
cast divine favor

Surprised that Thomas hadn't answered her, Joriannika was nevertheless not slow to respond to Guruthos' warning. She raised her hand, a flask in it fizzing dangerously, and prepared to throw it down the tunnel at the first sign of the kobolds.

Readied bomb: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
fire dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 Splash 4 fire dmg, too

"You'd better not try to rush us!" she warned them in Draconic.

Move, ready bomb attack for when they're bunched up, preferably within range.

Hanzo let everyone get ahead of him. He was in no rush to be a pincushion. Instead he watched their rear, ready to shoot at anything that came at them from behind.

Readied MW shortbow attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 1 :P

Guruthos steps aside to let others through, then points to the western ledge, then to the southeastern ledge.

Sling red: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
Sling purple: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
Sling yellow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Guruthos steps aside but is still really the only target within range, so the three kobolds on the southeastern ledge all sling stones at him. One fails miserably but the other two make contact, though not dealing much damage. Guruthos takes 1pt of damage and 1pt of nonlethal damage.

This might would trigger Joriannika's readied action, as she is now aware that three kobolds are grouped together on top of the ledge. They are roughly 50ft away, and 8ft up. If this triggers your readied action, it happens before they sling their stones.

Blue & Green

With a much better vantage point, Blue slings a stone right at Jori.

Sling blue: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

But the stone hits the outward curve in the wall.

The masked elf holds his attack until any kobold shows its face. They have to peek out to keep firing, don't they?

But even if they do, his attack is little more than supressive fire.

If Jori can get to within one range increment, she'll lob her bomb at the center kobold - otherwise she'll just move last round.

With the turn you described, your move action could put you in range if you were to cross the bridge. This would allow you to throw it without waiting. Confirm whether or not that's what you want to do. If not, your bomb becomes inert.

Couldn't she throw it onto the western ledge without crossing the bridge?

Couldn't she throw it onto the western ledge without crossing the bridge?

She could, but the trigger for her readied action was kobolds being bunched up together. There's only 1 kobold on the western ledge right now.

Yeah, she'll go ahead and cross the bridge then. I hope it isn't trapped. :P

I want to do something!

Hope you have a good ranged attack or can jump 8 feet.

I do have a sling. But it's not my turn yet. Sadly drawing and loading are one move action each, so I won't be able to attack this roubd

Sorry all! Today's been crazy. I'm actually not at work but we're doing a potty training weekend. (Literally, every fifteen minutes, we're sending our kid to the use the potty. So far so good. Also, yes I'm aware I used the word potty. It's just part of the parent vernacular, I suppose.

Also also, actually actually: I typed up a huge post that I technically started around lunchtime Thursday, and lost it all!!! Sad face. What follows is essentially describing a large portion of the battle thus far. There was a bit of retcon involved, so bear with me.

The new continuity:
Hanzo defends the party's backside with a readied short bow attack.

Joriannika moves carefully, preparing a bomb to throw at the three scaly fiends atop the raised, rocky ridge to the southeast. She crosses the narrow bridge, and is about to lob her bomb when three rocks come at her from the north. There's another ledge up there, too, with three more kobolds (Black, Light Blue, Orange) on it. Fortunately, only one of the stones hits Joriannika, but it gets her right on the forehead, leaving a cut and a quickly-forming, rather nasty bruise, dealing 2pts of damage and 1pt of nonlethal damage.

Jori, however, doesn't lose focus. If anything, she knows her next target. She lobs her bomb at middle reptile (Purple) which hits it in the chest and explodes on impact dealing 4pts of fire damage to all three kobolds up there. They're hurt, but still standing.

But rather than retaliate, they throw their stones at Guruthos, on the other side of the cave. One fails miserably but the other two make contact, though not dealing much damage. Guruthos takes 1pt of damage and 1pt of nonlethal damage.

Thomas casts divine favor upon himself.

Green doesn't make an appearance, but Blue, now having a clearer vantage point, slings a rock at Joriannika, but it falls short, tumbling down into the pit.

Guruthos prepares and readies an attack from his bow for the next time a kobold makes its face visible.

Bold may act:

Kobolds (green, blue) // Guruthos, Hanzo // Kobolds (Black, Light Blue, Orange) // Joriannika, Thomas // Kobolds (Red, Purple, Yellow)

Hanzo's previous readied attack is wasted.

Hearing Jori's yelp of pain, Hanzo sighed and moved forward. Seeing the blue kobold jump up to sling a rock, he took a quick shot.

MW shortbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 5

"How's it feel, huh lizards?" he snarled gleefully.

@stat tracker:
1)According to my calculation, I am at 16 hp, because these attacks were illegal. The kobolds were flat-footed and therefore not allowed to make those AoOs.
2) My Fate's favored trait ups my divine favor bonus to 2/2

The arrow pierces the lizard in the chest; it collapses out of sight, but you doubt it's gonna get back up anytime soon.

(Guruthos, from your position, you can't see the kobolds on the northern plateau, so nothing they do is going to trigger your readied action)

The three reptiles in the northern part of the room, continue their onslaught against the humans they can see. The black kobold throws one at Hanzo while the other two sling 'em at Joriannika.

Sling, Black: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
Sling, Light Blue: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
Sling, Orange: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

The back of Hanzo's hand gets cut by a slung stone, dealing 1pt of damage.

The two slung at Jori both miss...one of them barely making it 10 feet forward.

Bold can act:

Kobolds (green, blue) // Guruthos, Hanzo // Kobolds (Black, Light Blue, Orange) // Joriannika, Thomas // Kobolds (Red, Purple, Yellow)

"Guys, wait a second..." In contrast to his earlier foolhardy rushes, Thomas seemed nervous, but calm. He was concentrating hard to keep the daemon locked away.
move action sheathe sword, move action move forward and draw sling and bullets.
What's the black stuff, again? Rubble, or a ridge?

[occ]The black stuff is a deep trench, and only the little strip in the middle crosses that trench.[/ooc]

Joriannika, who wasn't normally one to go charging ahead, hesitated, keeping an eye on the kobolds. "What, Thomas?"

5'step and Delay until Thomas answers, but after that she'll probably lob another bomb at the northern kobolds (targeting the one in the middle), unless he has a good reason not to.

bomb: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 + 4 splash dmg, Ref DC14 for half

...Wow. Dicebot's in fine form. :P

"Need to change weaponry!"

1d8 ⇒ 6
When she does throw it, it hits the wall above and slightly right of the orange kobold, but essentially its same square, because it can't go any further. Splash damage will apply to Orange and Light Blue.

Joriannika lobs a bomb at her attackers from the north, but overestimates the distance a lets go a little late.

Ref DC14 for half to Orange: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17 Success! Takes 2 damage
Ref DC14 for half to Light Blue: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12 Takes 4 damage!

Red, Purple, Yellow

Red loads another stone into his sling and whips it at Thomas, while Purple does the same at Joriannika.

Sling Red: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
Fortunately, Red's aim is off, probably due to its sizzling scales. The pain. Oh, the pain!

Sling Purple: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
Purple actually hits, but probably more from luck than anything else. Joriannika's shin is scraped up by the sharp stone, taking 1pt of damage.

Climb: 1d20 - 1 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 - 1 = 15
A rope ladder, probably anchored to the ground atop the ledge, suddenly unrolls over the ledge and the Yellow kobold descends it as quickly as it can.

dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Woohoo! Good luck in bad! :D GM, where did her nl dmg come from?

Joriannika, her bomb thrown, glanced at Thomas incredulously. "Who needs to change weapons? You? Never mind that, just come on!" She beckoned for him to come out, pointing at the yellow kobold climbing down.

Hanzo was way ahead of her. He targeted the yellow kobold and let fly.

MW shortbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Woohoo! Good luck in bad! :D GM, where did her nl dmg come from?

Guruthos' shot slams into the wall next to the descending kobold, who flinches, but then starts running toward the trench, across from which is the only other exit out of here. While he's running, Hanzo fires an arrow from his short bow, but is unable to connect.

"It's been a while, but two can play that game!"
Thomas steps forward, turns around, loads a stone from his pocket into his readied sling and hurls it at a kobold (black).

attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15
damage: 1d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

With much more force and muscle than they've so far mustered, Thomas' slung stone embeds right between the eyes of the black kobold, who falls backward, unconscious.

Botting Jori
Seeing the Yellow one running, attempting to jump the small gap, she runs to head him off, whipping out her rapier.
Rapier: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
But instead falls flat on her face.

Kobolds (blue, green) // Guruthos, Hanzo // Kobolds (Black, Light Blue, Orange) // Joriannika, Thomas // Kobolds (Red, Purple, Yellow)

The yellow kobold can barely believe its luck! It doesn't slow down as it jumps the gorge.
Acrobatics DC 5: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

Its little legs are much stronger than one might have thought. The creature jumped nearly 20ft. Without missing a beat, the reptile continues running down and out the tunnel on the south western corner of this cave.

Purple looks at Red, nods, and then begins descending the rope ladder.
Climb DC 5: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8
While it climbs down, Red offers cover, slinging a stone towards Thomas!
At the base of the ledge, Purple turns towards Joriannika, and pulls out its spear, and makes a careful approach.

Sling attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
Red whips a stone right in the knuckles on the back of Thomas' hand, dealing 1pt of damage.

Kobolds (blue, green) // Guruthos, Hanzo // Kobolds (Black, Light Blue, Orange) // Joriannika, Thomas // Kobolds (Red, Purple, Yellow)

Blue, looking woozy, musters its concentration long enough to load one more stone into its sling.
Sling: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

But its strength is wasted. It slings the stone pathetically at the ground in front of it; its legs get shaky, then the poor creature simple collapses. (Now Blue is unconscious and dying).

The masked elf snarls and unleashes an arrow at the remaining kobold on the far ledge (red).

The masked elf howls in frustration. This is NOT how he prefers to face an enemy. He begins to wonder if this quest was really worth the money.

Hanzo fired another arrow at the red kobold, grinning maniacally.

MW shortbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 2

His smile slipped when he realized that he'd fired at a shadow instead of the kobold itself, though.

damage: 1d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6

"Oh shit"

Joriannika stood up, wincing at scrapes and bruises. Then she put away the rapier she had inexplicably drawn, and picked up her crossbow again.

"Evil never wins!" she insisted in Draconic hisses and clicks, scowling at the kobolds.

Joriannika stands, (provoking an AoO from Purple)...

Spear: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

...and easily dodges the poorly thrust spear!

Sling: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

It stops laughing when its rock goes wide and rolls down into the trench.

Hanzo stepped past Thomas into the firelight, but didn't bother to shoot at the purple kobold, assuming that Thomas and Jori had that handled. Instead he took another shot at the red kobold.

dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 6

confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

He hooted triumphantly as he nailed it in the eye, then called to the other kobolds in Draconic: "Which one of you is gonna be next, huh? Spitted on an arrow like a worm on a hook. Whaddaya think?"

Hanzo downs the red kobold with an arrow to the eye!

(Botting Guruthos)
Hanzo steps forward a bit, nocks an arrow, aims at the nearest kobold still standing to the north, and lets fly.

Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Hit finally hits his mark, and the kobold is knocked off its feet!

Kobolds (blue, green) // Guruthos, Hanzo // Kobolds (Black, Light Blue, Orange) // Joriannika, Thomas // Kobolds (Red, Purple, Yellow)

Black stabilize: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (1) - 4 = -3(Fail! 1pt of damage and dying)
Light Blue stabilize: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (7) - 3 = 4 (Fail! 1pt of damage and dying.)

Orange loads a stone in its sling and whips it at the rogue!
Sling: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
But, with a comrade having just been shot with an arrow bleeding out next to him, he can't focus and the rock goes wide.

Climb DC 5: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
The creature, apparently not wishing to die or surrender, immediately descends the rope ladder and moves to escape.

"They are fleeing! "
Thomas reloads and hurls another rock at yellow, if still in sight, otherwise at orange.

attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15
damage: 1d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

The rock clonks Orange in the head, who crumples and (because I can!) tumbles into the ravine below, landing on his head.

Joriannika took a step back before realizing that she couldn't really get away from the purple kobold without falling into the ravine too. Taking a different tack, she whipped out one of her vials with her free hand and shook it at the kobold, making it fizz harmlessly - but she was counting on the kobold not knowing it was harmless.

"Do you want to burn for your crimes? You should run, too - you're the last one left here," she suggested in Draconic. "If you stay and die, who will remember you? No one. But if you live, you can... uh, live to fight another day. Anyway, we didn't come here to kill you all."

Diplo: Persuasion: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 Oh well.

Kobolds (blue, green) // Guruthos, Hanzo // Kobolds (Black, Light Blue, Orange) // Joriannika, Thomas // Kobolds (Red, Purple, Yellow)

In draconic the creature rasps out, "Gotta a funny way of showing it!" then it stabs again at Joriannika

Spear: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18(Hit!)
Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

The spear digs into Joriannika's thigh! The purple kobold then dashes southwest -

Joriannika, you get an AoO if you wish to use it. Otherwise...

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

- and jumps over the gap!

red: 1d20 - 9 ⇒ (7) - 9 = -2
Red finally bleeds out and dies.

Kobolds (blue, green) // Guruthos, Hanzo // Kobolds (Black, Light Blue, Orange) // Joriannika, Thomas // Kobolds (Red, Purple, Yellow)

(Purple is placed where he would be if Jori either doesn't make an AoO, or if it misses).

Joriannika yelped, then let out an expletive that her family definitely would have ribbed her for as the kobold slipped past her and Thomas. She raised her crossbow to shoot the kobold, but it was so quick!

Jori isn't going to waste a bomb on one kobold, and I don't think she gets an AOO with a crossbow? If she does, she'll take it.

you can only take an AoO if you threaten the square. You need SNap Shot to threaten with a ranged weapon

And so, it's Guru and Hanzo's turn
