Glad you remembered what that hammer is for San! Quit trying to play druid and FIGHT!

Shouldn’t Kael’s LOH be 2d6+4?

The ever wise and generous Darkvision compensates for mutant-ninja-undead spiders by having granted Kael a phylactery of positive channeling.

Unfortunately for Kael, phylactery of channeling works for channeling only, not LOH. You would need Bracers of Merciful Knight (+4 Pally levels for LOH) or the feat Greater Mercy (+1d6) or both to boost LOH.

Based on Mr. Dardanius's plight, I was going to ask how he can get such powerful LOH too. Good to learn about all the equipment!

that Dar could maybe someday buy if he lives long enough . . .

Anyway, Pnin goes after the next enemy.

Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 29

SneakAttack: 1d6 + 6 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 + (1, 2, 4) = 17

Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 27

SneakAttack: 1d6 + 6 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 + (6, 4, 2) = 23

Again debilitating injury to AC.

Based on that breaking development....Retcon: Party has probably died several times already! :D

Mark me down for 4/5 LOH to make up for it in the short term as I would have started healing after the first attack.

Sanrael grins as the spider explodes, then strikes at Kaels nemesis....rescuing him from the pincers of death GHPA: 1d20 + 8 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 282d6 + 13 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5, 1) + 13 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 26

Curral?

I'm late to act, alas, such woe...Let's take down this undead foe!

Attack! Flanking.

Longsword: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 18
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7

Pnin and Sanrael severely damage the creature but it resists Tolacharn’s disrupting magic.

will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

The spider sensing something moves to engage Sanrael. p or s: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Kael swings wearily at the undead beast.

GSPA: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 2 = 232d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (5, 6) + 9 + 2 = 22

As the foul beasts pincers bite into him....Sanrael yells in anguish at the pain but follows through with an overhead smash at the creatures head while its intent on devouring him

Spider's goin down, I know you sense it too...As long as the party strikes deep and strikes true!

Attack!

Longsword: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 25
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 = 12

These spiders must DIE.

Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 30

Look around for any valuables:

Before healing and then proceeding onward?

-24/42 HP, -2 STR

-8/50HP

I get a sense of why no one is coming back from Inevitable. Can anyone track where these things came from?

pulse heal x2: 6d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 4, 6, 3) = 19

sanrael kneels....cause ya know...rangers always do when tracking....
survival: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

i think i do

Pnin doesn't find any valuables unless he fancies spider body parts. The tracks come down the road from the direction of Fort Inevitable.

Convenient, and I'm not a fan of side trips anyways. Let's see what further horrors lie between us and the city. Anyone need further healing before we keep going?

And for what it's worth San, if we see any more undead please use your hammer and not do something less productive?

Continue towards Inevitable.

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

wont be coming on to post for a while....bot me if ya want

Pnin is grateful for Kael's healing

-5/42 HP.

Perception Back to Inevitable: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (7) + 23 = 30

You follow the tracks for a while leading toward town until you reach the turnoff for the winery. Need to make another survival check for tracks if you want to try to keep following. Not sure if you wanted to go straight to town or to the winery so decision time.

Kael looks at the options the road has given the party-My vote is for the winery. Maybe we can get some sense of what is going on in these parts and better yet, maybe we can find a friend or a safe place to rest.

Sorry, yes Pnin is good for the winery.

Perception: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (6) + 23 = 29

Darkvision, please bot a survival roll for Sanrael so we know if he finds anything out about where the tracks go.

Kael keeps an eye out on the way to the winery perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Curral?

San notes tracks look like they came from town not the winery.

winery's not too far away, let's check it out first

The party makes it way up the road towards the winery, the first building appears out of the fog looking much as it did when some of you resided there, except fo the absence of any people.

Kael looks at Pnin-I think we should make sure the building is clear before moving any further. How about a look-c Pnin?

Assuming Pnin checks it out Kael is ready to support if things go sideways.

Sanrael stads close by.....looking about
perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36

Pnin takes a look at the door and any windows that allow him to stay in view of the party.

Perception: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (2) + 23 = 25

Weed spots some humanoid tracks leading up to the door to your former residence.

The door and windows do not appear trapped, the windows have curtains so no view into the residence.

Sanrael shares these observations with the party

Pnin will announce himself and wait about a minute for a response. If none is given, he tries to open the door (did we have a key?)

Hello, it's Pnin, Sanrael, and Curral. We are seeking a place to stay and rest. Please open the door.

If no response and the door is locked, DisableDevice: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21

Kael's hands tighten on the hilt of his blade and he takes a calming breath Here we go....

~detect evil~ 60' radius

Sanrael ask tolarchan if it senses any undead in the immediate vicinity

No evil or undead detected.

"Just a moment."

The door opens revealing Taeserle, she looks disheveled, like she just woke up..

It's a trap! Regards, Admiral Ackbar

Taserle....its us....whats going on around here....
Sanrael cocks his head and studies her....
sense motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Taeserle, it is good to see you alive. Are you in need of any help?

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

"Truly it is you, I thought I was dreaming for a moment. As for what is going on, Fort Inevitable has fallen into the hands of some foul necromancer. He moved in with an army of undead and displaced the hell knights, as much as I hated them I have to admit things were far better under them than they are now. I am healthy Pnin if a bit worn. I have food and wine if you wish to join me?"

Level up!

Level up!

Not sure there are any words I like hearing more in life. Mmmmm....level up!

Hello Taeserle, my name is Kael Cullen, servant of Iomedae and Captain of the Gates at Riverwatch. It is a pleasure to finally meet you.

What else can you tell us of the situation nearby and this necromancer; he doesn't happen to go by the name of Gorloth does he?

“Well met Kael, O wish it were under more pleasant circumstances. I don’t know his name but I believe there is some connection with the Spire, there town has taken on a eerie green glow.”

Dialogue post compression questions:

@Taeserle-What is the situation here? Are there other survivors or refugees? Is the winery and or its buildings clear of undead?

What do you plan to do next?

The situation is dire. There must be refugees, the smart ones will have already fled the area. There are no undead residing here but they wander about the area. I believe there very well could be townsfolk within Inevitable. The necromancer has not kept me well informed concerning his future plans. Some of the hell knights must have escaped but whether they have fled or have stayed to resist I don’t know. I only came back to see if I could find my father but I have pretty much given up hope, so I will likely leave soon.

More bulk dialogue:

I am sorry for your losses Taeserle. Can you tell me what your father looks like or anyone else dear to you? I will do my best to look for them while we work to overthrow this necromancer.

If you agree, I will give you my signet ring and a note of introduction.
Is there anything else we can do for you? Otherwise it will be good to rest here before we push on to Inevitable and see what can be done.

cast ~keep watch~ 2 others can roll perception

perception on rest: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

Pnin definitely gives his sympathies to Taeserle.

When time draws near, he stands watch with Kael:

Perception: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (7) + 26 = 33

Pnin definitely gives his sympathies to Taeserle.

When time draws near, he stands watch with Kael:

[dice=Perception]1d20+26

That is some serious bonus when your 7 beats my nat 20 by 2!
