Bob daba Bob! sings Bob mentally outloud as he tries to jump on the elementals head.

Bobbed:
Gelatinous orbs have the uncanny ability to jump up and land on a Medium-sized or smaller creature’s head, completely engulfing it as a standard action. It cannot make a slam attack during a round in which it engulfs. Opponents can either make an attack of opportunity against the ooze, or a saving throw versus the attack, but not both. If the target forgoes the opportunity attack, it may instead make a DC 13 Reflex save to avoid having its head engulfed. If the save fails, or the target instead opted to make an opportunity attack, the target takes 1d4 acid damage, is blinded, deafened, nauseated, and is in danger of suffocating every round that its head is engulfed. Any attack against a gelatinous orb that has engulfed an opponent’s head has a 50% chance of targeting the engulfed opponent instead.

Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
The elemental's shout stops Gustav in his tracks, and he needs a moment to collect his thoughts in this surprisingly loud mountain pass. "Everyone is singing, or shouting, or whatever it is that thing is doing," he points at Bob I just want some peace and quiet, and to go back home where it's warm. A tear starts to run down his face, but gets frozen on his cheek.

Tina flies over to Snowball, and taps her on the shoulder, and shows off the dance moves that go along with her continuing song, (which have now added hip pops in addition to the elbow thrusts).

Gustav at 10/12 hp, Bit of luck on Snowball

DC 10 Climb (1/4 speed is 5ft) 1st move action: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1 fall back 15ft
DC 10 Climb (1/4 speed is 5ft) 2nd move action: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (15) - 2 = 13 forward 5ft

Goldslip slips again, then slowly trudges forward!

Lost 10 of the 30 feet that Tina just gave me. Honestly, I think I should just stop trying to move until this is over and someone can carry me.

we'll need to get Spider Climb for ya xD
Also, obligatory mention of the auto-succeeded fly check for flying less than half speed xD
@Tina: Bit of Luck like the Luck domain power, right?
stats:
AC 19->17 for one round

Between Tina's tapping distracting her and the elemental no longer making noise, Snowball decides to ignore the farther enemies for now.

Snowball screams as she dives at the nearest ice-creature.
"Snowball is the only snowball! Snow monster is... crunchy!"

Cindy and Gorthug still to go.

I seem to be completely out of SLAs that can actually affect these critters, and I believe I've Intimidate/Feared all of them at least once, so I really have nothing left :(

Cindy, keeping an eye on the panicked elemental so that she can yell at it again if it starts to return, heads towards Goldslip to see if she can help her up the hill.

Goldslip, is your current map location correct? I double moved to you so I can start doing aid another on your climb checks but I thought that you were farther up after Tina's SLA

Climb: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

Unable to reach any foes due to the icy terrain, Gorthug merely moved to support Bob.

We need somebody to get Goldslip a little crossbow or something. Maybe Cindy too. In general, this party is light on ranged damage. It's pretty much just Bob's rocks and Tina's summons.

The elemental strikes at Snowball as she flies into his face but misses.

So it provokes every time you bite? Yeesh.

The elemental then steps back, keeping its footing with perfect ease on the slippery snow, and launches a piece of ice at Snowball but she twists out of the way in mid-air. Bob flings himself on an elemental and lands the acrobatic attack! This elemental won't be hurting anybody for a while...

Cindy, will you track your fear duration and tell me when the yellow elemental up top is no longer panicked?

Annoyed, the musical elemental just flings some ice at Gustav and strikes him hard (7 damage to Gustav from a mix of piercing and cold).

Everyone, GO!

A crossbow for Goldslip might not be that useful with only a 30' sight range. She's our melee monster!

Cindy glances over at the running elemental (2nd round of 5, 3 to go) then floats in behind Goldslip and tries to brace herself against the nixie's back, pushing as hard as she can with her little arms. "Come on big sis! You can do it!"

Climb Aid Another (Goldslip): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
LOL I can't even pass a DC10. Poor Goldslip...

Bob sits on another elemental head. All this sitting. Bob wishes that these things were at least tasty!

He oozes acid and throws rocks at the one he is on!

acid: 1d4 ⇒ 3

kinetic throw: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 1 = 181d6 + 1 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 5 + 1 = 12

It's not the bite that triggers AoOs (the bite has 5' reach), it's the constantly moving into opponent's squares so that I can use claws :3
Well, also that one time I used flyby attack while moving through multiple threatened squares...
Which reminds me, that charge was one of the few times Snowball didn't provoke, haha
But she's about to enter the enemy's square now that she can't charge, so it's fine :P

Snowball scrambles after the carefully retreating ice-man, all but heedless of the openings she's creating by doing so.
"Crunchy tastes good!"
Bite vs elemental +IC +Bless: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 26
damage +IC: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Axe: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Slam: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Damage and negative level: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Finally in reach of the elemental, Gorthug raised his axe and swung it with actual skill. It landed with a crunch, and the undead orc let loose a raspy sigh of satisfaction. Few things could spark any emotion in him, but violence was one of them.

I do have a crossbow (it was in the nixie statblock)--as Cindy said, it's the 30ft of vision that's impeding me here. That's less of a big deal when I don't have a problem moving closer to the enemy, but I just can't make that happen in this terrain.

I really am just going to stand still, now, rather than keep rolling those failed checks and losing ground.

I'm going to bot Tina creatively here, then. Normally I would bot players a little dumber than they normally play to encourage them to post themselves but Tina gave us a heads up and this would only punish Goldslip, not Tina. XD

Tina snaps her fingers and Goldslip disappears, reappearing higher up the cliff!

Jester's jaunt in three dimensions. You're on the edge so be careful! You can go ahead and fire this round if you want.

Cindy falls forward as Goldslip disappears, amazed and wondering if she had some new power that she wasn't aware of. Fortunately since she was still flying she managed to avoid going face first into the snow. She spends the remainder of her turn staring at her own hands in fascination.

Oh haha. Sorry Cindy. Didn't mean to mess with you. But that, too, seems like something Tina would do.

Goldslip attack: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 - 4 = 2

Goldslip is very surprised when Tina moves her again. She draws her crossbow and levels it at the nearby elemental but the shot goes wild and the bolt bounces off the stone cliff behind the elemental. Bob oozes acid on one elemental then slams a rock into it. Gorthug comes up and smashes it with his ax. Snowball manages a nice, crunchy bite of elemental for herself.

The elemental that was afraid of Cindy finally stops cowering. The elemental attacked by Snowball steps back and launches a shard of ice but misses. The musical elemental launches a shard at Bob and hits him (10 piercing and 1 cold). The monsters are making their way farther and farther up this difficult pass!

Everyone, GO!

Axe: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Damage and negative level: 1d12 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Slam: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Damage and negative level: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Gorthug raised his axe to strike again, but then stopped, frozen in place. A memory hit him. An actual memory, and not the faint echoes that haunted him. The way he held the axe above his head. His grip on the handle. He remembered learning it from his father, so many years ago. He remembered his father! He could picture the old orc’s weathered face, and the harsh sound of his voice. He even remembered the name.

It was such a shock that Gorthug didn’t even attack. Instead he stood there in shock, his balefire eyes fixed ahead.

d4 acid: 1d4 ⇒ 4

kinetic throw: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 = 241d6 + 1 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 5 + 1 = 12

Bob is really starting to not like the taste of ice. Bob is worried his protoplasm will get stuck to ice forever. But okay, Bob will continue with the smashing and the aciding.

That Bobbed one is dead. Which one are you flinging at? Similarly, who are you attacking Gorthug? The elemental that was in melee with you is very busted.

Cindy, realizing that staring at her hands is not really all that helpful, starts floating up the hill.
double move, at the gloriously fast 10' fly speed that she has

in that case I will take a burn and throw a rock at the pinkish one on the cliff.

HP: 40/46
1 non-lethal

@Goldslip: how much do you + equipment weigh? :3
@GM: 5' step into opponent's square to trigger AoO and allow Snowball to full attack xD

Unlike Bob, Snowball does not tire of the taste of ice. She continues to stick to her opponent, slowly clawing and gnawing away at it.

Oh...in that case Gorthug stands by Bob, axe still raised in a futile effort to be useful. He will protect the little rock thrower against the counter attack to come

@Snowball: looks like I am 45 pounds. 2 lbs for small crossbow and 1 lb for small short sword. 48 total.

Goldslip takes another shot at the one elemental she can see!
The one next to Snowball.

Crossbow into melee: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 5 - 4 = 10
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Anyone who hasn't received it yet today can bot themselves a Tina jump if they want. It functions as jester's jaunt.

As Snowball moves forward, the elemental strikes her (6 bludgeoning damage before DR and some cold damage that doesn't matter). Then she bites hard into the elemental, making a big impression with her claws as well. Bob takes a big chunk out of the musical elemental higher up the cliff as the monsters continue making progress. The elemental fighting Snowball steps back and strikes her (6 more dam) while the one no longer afraid of Cindy flings a chunk of ice at Goldslip (9 damage). The musical elemental steps closer to Bob and screams to get revenge on the orb (6 sonic damage and dazed for 1 round, DC 14 fort negates daze and halves damage)!

Everyone, GO!

fort save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Bob resists the daze; his internal fortitude is too great!

Hey! You! Stop messing with my large and strong brain! Take that!

He gathers his power and throws another rock at it.

kinetic throw: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 = 191d6 + 1 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 5 + 1 = 12

HP: 39/46
1 non-lethal (burn)

@GM: I forget, was it decided that fliers can fly with more than a light load?
I remember RAW mounts can't fly with a heavier load, but maybe that's just related to being a mount xD
'cause Snowball's heavy load is 86.75 lbs, so she can carry Goldslip as a medium load.
(mwahahhaha)
It's just a matter of if Snowball can fly (or not) with a medium load ^^

5' step into opponent's square triggers an AoO. I guess the elemental can get two attacks/round while dancing around like this xD
HP: 29->34

Snowball is physically moved by the impact, but the bruise heals almost as quickly as it formed as she continues pursuing the elemental with reckless abandon.

Climb: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

Gorthug trudged through the snow, silently elated at his returning memories. He muttered to himself Common”I will rip off your limbs and make your corpse into a chair.” just to prove that he could. He *remembered* what it meant! It was strange to actually have good memories.

Cindy continues floating up towards the elemental that Snowball is chewing on.
If Launch-Not-Hat-Not-Bob-Uncle-Thing jumps on one, I might be able to use this knife thingy old Mommy gave me on it.

Goldslip yelps in pain as the chunk of ice hits her, but it doesn't stop her from firing another shot from her crossbow.
The one next to Snowball again. Move to reload, standard to shoot.

Crossbow into melee: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 5 - 4 = 8
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Tina listens to Gorthug's threat, and shouts at him, "Yeah, that's the sprit big guy, do some upholstery!"
Jaunting him 30 ft closer to target

Gustav looks at his wounds, and shouts at Tina, "Listen lady, it's getting awfully cold around here. I want to go home!" Tina pauses he song long enough to tell him he can go home when the party is over, because We like to party. We like, we like to party.
Gustav glares, but he dutifully draws his bow at the musical elemental
Gustav 3/12
bow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Bob and Snowball each land a couple of blows as the group continues slowly making its way up the mountain.

The elemental gets struck in the face again by Bob and seems rather upset about this. It opens its quasi-mouth and speaks something in odd, sloshing tones.

Three shards of ice fire at Bob and one manages to strike him hard (9 piercing and 2 cold)!

Everyone, GO!

Bits of Bob glob off and land on the snowy terrain. Bob feels something well up in him. It starts as a tickle but gets fiercer. Bob... is.... MAD!

Gathering power, Bob again launches an icy rock on the elemental on the top of the mountain.

HP: 33/45
1 burn

kinetic throw: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 = 111d6 + 1 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 5 + 1 = 9

Hearing the ranged one sputtering some nonsense, Cindy starts to float towards him. As she passes by the other two she rages at them "Your boss thing is going to burn; burn and melt into pieces for NOT BEING NICE! If you get out of our way we might let you live, we could still be friends...but he is DONE!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

They are both in range. I know one is immune, but the other needs to make a DC13 Will save or be panicked for 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10 rounds.

Axe: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Damage and negative level: 1d12 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

Slam: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Damage and negative level: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Teleported up the mountain, Gorthug glared at the Elemental with the purplish tinge. In common he roared ”I am Gorthug! Son of Morthul, of the Gouged Eye Clan! “ Triumphantly, his axe lashed out at the Elemental’s neck. It impacted with a crunch of ice.

Tina teleports Gorthug to the top of the cliff and he tears the head off the elemental with his axe!

After Gorthug's show of strength, the elemental is once again terrified of Cindy!

5' to enter the guy's square, triggering an AoO xD
HP: 34->35

Snowball continues ripping small pieces off of the elemental with glee, occasionally consuming small pieces of ice.
Bite + IC + Bless: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 9
Damage + IC: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Damage + IC: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Distracted by Cindy's use of swear words like burn and melt, Snowball slows down momentarily.

The elemental slams Snowball as she closes in (8 bludgeoning and 2 cold, which I know doesn't matter).

Goldslip and Gustav (Tina's summons) can still go.

"You really should listen to Cindy!" Goldslip shouts before firing another shot from her crossbow.
Move to reload, standard to shoot.

Crossbow into melee: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 5 - 4 = 19
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Gustav looks ever more exhausted, and starts to shiver. Who is Cindy? Is she the one who brought me here? I don't have any choice but to listen to her. Yearning crosses his face. Please Cindy, send me home.

Tina shoots a literal death glare as she continues singing.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Goldslip nails the elemental with a crossbow bolt while Gustav launches a stray bolt that goes wide.

The panicked elemental does nothing but hide in place and cower, terrified of Cindy.

The remaining elemental with a fighting spirit steps back from Snowball and throws distractedly at random.

The elemental strikes Snowball with another launched spike of ice!

20 to hit for 9 dam. Everyone, GO!

Too far back to do anything else, Bob spends his time bobbing forward in little hops.

acrobatic: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
acrobatic: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Cindy, finally noticing that one of the creatures listened to her and stopped fighting, floats towards it speaking in a calm, soothing, little girl voice.

"That's a good...thing. Thank you for listening, now we can be friends and have tea parties and play dress up and have fun!"

she doesn't really understand the concept of fear, so she thinks he's just being a good boy by not attacking. If she actually gets within reach of him she's probably going to shadow walk with him to go play...and "hopefully" not lose him on the shadow plane before she returns :)

1 round down, 9 rounds to go on panicked

lol, planeshift, the deadliest spell xD
HP: 18->23
Also, is that a ranged attack within biting range? :D

Snowball continues to gnaw and claw!

Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Goldslip keeps her firing rate steady, but you can't say that much for her aim.

Tina sees Bob bobbing up the hill and bobs him a bit further

The receptiveness of her song, is showing, as well as the limit of her dance moves, but nonetheless she continues, and somehow the rest of the group take comfort and finds inspiration in what is becoming a mantra We like to party. We like, We like to party.

Gustav yells at her "Yes we get it!" as he fires another shot at the remaining elemental

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

I'll skip Gorthug for a moment.

Snowball, I always forget. Does your bite have 5 ft reach? If so, then yes you get an aoo.

Snowball finishes off the elemental near her and the monsters prepare to finish off the last, cowering elemental.

Everyone, GO!

Now in range again, Bob gathers power and telepathically uses the strands of aether that only he can see to pick and throw big ice chunks at the elemental.

kinetic throw: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 = 111d6 + 1 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 5 + 1 = 9

Not understanding that the elemental is scared, Cindy moves in and tries to give his head a big hug, while chatting away. "That's such a good ice thingy. I'm soooo glad you decided to be my friend. Do you want to come with us? We're headed up the mountain to see one of the Pied lady's old acquaintances or something...I'm not completely sure what we're doing but it's going to be FUN"

I'm assuming that I can use the hug and chatter as an aid another to someone else's attack, as it would be quite distracting. Additionally, I guess I'm providing flanking :D
Aid Another (Gorthug Attack): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Gorthug looked down at the cowering opponent. He remembered this feeling. The undead orc smiled. No longer taking it seriously, he began to swing his axe...
