Monsters save the world (Inactive)

Game Master caster4life

I get why the drake could be confusing. After all, it's practically a dragon.
On the other hand, we're trying to stop a princess that has trapped a dragon (an inversion of the usual save a princess trapped by a dragon), so if someone narrates a trapped dragon coming to help us, it's got to be on our side unless we have an unreliable narrator somehow xD

Haha ok here's what's going on. Alloura is the dragon you're here to rescue, a silver dragon as mentioned previously. You can ask her how/why she's helping you right now. The forest drake is just a minion of the princess, as is the choker choking Tina. So there are three creatures of the dragon type on the map: The silver dragon Alloura (friendly to you it seems), the white dragon Snowball (confused but friendly to you otherwise), and the forest drake (large and very unfriendly to you).a

Ramblings: I was hoping Tina would try to exclaim "that's not even a real dragon, my brother is doing the plan wrong" then the princess would say "that's not my dragon! And what brother? What plan?" Then Alloura would burst in and the princess would say "That's my dragon but her being here definitely isn't my plan! Alas.

Bob's head spins as so many dragons show up on the scene. He isn't even aware what the princess does, as it has no affect on him.

Bob does not know which is who and who is what. Snowie, are you still friend?

Bob decides to go after the biggest threat, which is also very close to him. He siddles closer and attempts to slam it.

attack: 1d20 ⇒ 19

wow that is about as good as I can do. maybe I can hit.

d4-3 + d6 acid, DC20 fort to resist paralysis for 3d6 rounds: 1d4 - 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) - 3 + (4) = 5

Intimidate +7 CHA, +1 rank, +3 Class Skill. Realized I hadn't updated my sheet on Paizo. Can you confirm that we if have spell slots back? Also, the drake was able to find me despite invisibility (Ramblings: You beat me to the punch.)

Tina smiles smugly, haven been proven right with this stupid drake, "Told you my brother would cheap out on getting a real dragon. We could attach some wings to Mr. Snuggles, and it would be just as effective. Probably more, since he has at least two more legs. Ooh, while we're attaching things, more legs too."

Tina begins singing from within the Drake's grip: "We coulda worked it out but I guess things change... It's funny how someone else's success brings pain"

Starting a Bardic Song. +1/+1, and +1 (morale) against fear and charm effects

I see the longhouse map now. Where is the Princess? I am next to the forest drake, I see that now.

Hello everyone by the way! I think I play with a few of you on Discord games. It's JamZilla/Percy/Ton here.

Sorry Alloura. Depending on the shape of your breath weapon, perhaps you could have caught the princess and the choker. I just idk it's physical aspects and didn't want to hit Tina so went single-target. I also didn't think that hard about where to put you. What's the shape and reflex dc on that breath weapon? The drake fails for now either way with a nat 2.

While you are fighting the princess, her choker minion, and her knock-off dragon minion, the true dragon you are trying to rescue comes in and blasts the knock-off dragon with icy breath. Sendi stabs the not-dragon while Bob lands a big smack on the not-dragon with his pseudopod. The not-dragon quivers for a moment then holds still.

Got a 19 fort save. Bob's DCs are just too good when he does manage to hit. Stunned for a long time!

The choking monster grabs Tina tighter, pinning all her limbs in its grasp. The princess tosses a rope to the brute. "Good. Now tie it up." Then she turns to the monsters who have stunned her precious drake and angrily hurls a spell at them. Lightning streaks out and slams into Bob then hits everyone else who isn't confused!

41 lightning damage to Bob with DC 21 reflex save for half. 41 lightning damage to Alloura and Sendi as well with DC 19 reflex save for half. Everyone, GO!

reflex save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

[hp: 41+5 for fast healing/82]

Bob is blasted by the lightning badly after he is able to paralyze the drake. He reaches out to begin digesting it before it clicks in his protoplasmic brain that now the threat is on the other side of the room.

A long long long time ago Bigger-Bob was just Not-Hat-Bob and very small and fast. Now Bigger-Bob is Slow-Bob, yes, that is good name for Bob. Slow Bob will go very fast to reach the princess who hit Slow Bob with Big Shocker.

He scoots across the floor [full round action to sprint which gets me close enough to help Tina next time.]

Can someone with melee power CDG the drake?

you seem to have missed the princess's roll vs my slumber. I didn't see a will save in there (DC13 at a -2 due to stare)

I forgot to report it but she was not put to sleep by it. There are a lot of possible reasons for that, actually, and it would probably require a spellcraft check to know which was at play. E.g., her HD may be too high, she may be immune to sleep, she may have SR, she may have made a will save, and probably others I can't think of.

Lightning!: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30 13 damage. Down to 11 with fast healing

CDG the drake as full round action: 20 = 20
Crit Damage: 2d2 + 20 ⇒ (2, 2) + 20 = 24
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Fire Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5

”Ow! That tingles in a bad way!” She stabbed the faux dragon a second time, this time aiming for an eye. ”It’s time to play!” As far as battle cries went, it was...passable.

If we cant CDG: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34
Confirm: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26

Sendi, how do you take 13 damage on a save? Half of 41 is 20, rounded down. Do you resist lighting 7? Never seen a weird number like that.

Drake fort: 1d20 ⇒ 2

The drake falls dead as Sendi stabs it through the eye!

2nd turn of confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 23 Acts normally

Goldslip begins moving after Slow Bob, then connects her life force to his to help him recover from the lightning.

Move action: 20 ft. Standard action: initiate life link.

Yup! Normally resist electrify 5. The trait unscathed raises it to +7

I'm just glad the drake isn't a real dragon and isn't immune to paralysis...

Confusion rd 2: 1d100 ⇒ 34 wow more babbling. At least I'm not fighting with an ally...

Snowball continues to babel while perched under the window sill.

The glorious silver dragon streaks into the room like a bullet. She zooms right up the the Princess and tries to bite her, finally after all this time she might exact some revenge.

Bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Breath weapon recharge: 1d4 ⇒ 1

The cone is 20 feet. I'm fine with it being single target for that first one

Tina struggles to escape the monster's grasp
Escape Artist: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
"I'll not fall victim to my brother's half baked half-interpretation of my plan. He isn't half the man I am!

She keeps singing, hoping to inspire her companions "I want your hot love and emotion endlessly"

By my count, Cindy and Bear should still go.

oops, sorry

With Cindy acting strangely, Mr. Snuggles isn't sure what to do, and continues to just keep her safe. With the drake dead, he moves to place himself between her and the remaining threats.

Moved; readied action to attack if either enemy moves into range.
Readied Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Confusion roll: 1d100 ⇒ 89

Seeing the drake down, Cindy flails around looking for a new enemy, and unfortunately out of the corner of her eye sees Goldslip, a little too close for comfort.

Stabby!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Fortunately, her ability to use her toy dagger is about as good as her ability to tell friend from foe and she swipes way too early completely missing the nixie

It's so not a threat for Cindy to be confused lol. Even if she hits with her toy dagger she does up to a whole 1 damage max. Yay for being a non-melee!!

Sendi finishes the forest drake while Snowball babbles. Bob oozes across the floor to the continued song of Tina, whose situation is progressively deteriorating. Cindy stabs at Goldslip and misses but, unfortunately for both of them, this causes the confusing magic in Goldslip's mind to coalesce on Cindy.

"Any confused character who is attacked automatically attacks its attackers on its next turn, as long as it is still confused when its turn comes. Note that a confused character will not make attacks of opportunity against any creature that it is not already devoted to attacking (either because of its most recent action or because it has just been attacked)." So no more d100s for you guys, unfortunately. Order is important here as Goldslip acts at the bottom of this round that's finishing before Cindy at the top of the one that's beginning.

The choker shrugs at the rope it is handed and instead picks up some twine off the floor and ties Tina up with it. The princess then hands him a wicked-looking scythe. She turns to see Alloura racing toward her, snapping fangs-first! But her magical protections turn the dragon's teeth aside. She giggles "Oh you're so adorable when you're upset!" She then begins recklessly casting a spell. In response, Alloura seizes the perfect opportunity to chomp her on the arm! But despite the distraction, the princess keeps the spell and another massive wave of lightning sweeps over the heroic monsters.

Nat 20 aoo botted for Alloura but not confirmed unless she has critical focus or something? Princess manages to concentrate. 39 lightning damage to Alloura with DC 21 reflex for half. DC 19 for Bob and Tina.

Everyone, GO!

DC19 or take 39 damage? You wrote that a little strange.

reflex: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18 so close

[HP: 46+5 fast healing-39 = 12 left]

d20 slam on choker: 1d20 ⇒ 13

[b][i]"Why does Slow-Bob suddenly want to say goodbye and thank everyone for the fish?[/dice]

Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 24 yay! normal! which means babbling ;P

As though she had been thinking through something that ends with the pronouncement of a guilty verdict, Snowball's babbling ends suddenly with "BAD PRINCESS! NOT THE MOMMY!"

Swooping over, she exhales a torrent of icy breath on the princess, Alloura, and the creature strangling auntie Tina.
Cold Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5 (DC 16 reflex for half)
Recharge: 1d4 ⇒ 4
...
I really need to start rolling recharge first and damage second...

With the faux dragon dead, Sendi flew over towards the party. It wasn’t fair that everyone else was having fun over there without her!

Charge evil(?) princess

Shortsword: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33
Damage: 1d2 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Fire Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11

Fast healing wounds now at 9

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

The electricity courses through Alloura and she screams in pain.

Defiantly she steps beside the princess and unleashes a hail of claws and bites at the witch who had kept her imprisoned so long. If she was going to die, better it be fighting and beautiful than growing fat and ugly in servitude

Bite, PA: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 2 - 2 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 4 = 7
Claw 1, PA: 1d20 + 9 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 2 - 2 = 24
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 4 = 9
Claw 2, PA: 1d2d1 + 9 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 9 + 2 - 2 = 11
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 4 = 6

Thanks to her lucidity from moments before, Slow Bob heals even faster! Life link takes 5 damage from Bob.

Goldslip's focus narrows as she sees her one true enemy: the doll!

short sword, bless: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 = 24
piercing damage: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2

The nixie draws her short sword and thrusts it at Cindy, striking hard porcelain!

Cindy had always suspected that the nixie was not to be trusted. All those times she had infiltrated other people's life forces, supposedly for "healing"... but now her true purpose was clear! Cindy had to end this threat before it tore the group apart.

Stabby stabby stabby!!!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Confirm?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Damage!: 1d2 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0
Crit Damage!: 1d2 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1

Thrusting her dagger forward, she strikes a mortal blow straight to Goldslip's jugular, leaving a small and possibly slightly painful scratch!

Wow. A crit.

Tina's immune to lightning

See, that's why you don't skimp out on getting real dragon. Tina notes as the drake falls, as she continues her song, "I realise I waited too long, but please don't move on, you don't need no one else"

Let me show you what a real princess looks like. As the choker reaches for the scythe, a portal pops open next to Tina, and Claudette, the princess, falls out. Grab me and run over there Tina shouts, No time to explain. Claudette sighs, exasperated, but dutifully picks up the little lich and runs as far as she can.

That choker has to set me down to take the scythe, which means I'm an unattended object. And my summon is an SLA, which means no somatic components.

Seeing his Cindy engaged in a harmless play fight with her friend, Mr. Snuggles lumbers forward towards what he perceives as the true threat here, that human with the annoying high pitched giggle. In the absence of command, he can at least make that noise go away.

Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Bob, it's 39 lightning damage. A DC 19 reflex save would mean half damage.

Tina, you still need quite the concentration check to cast your sla while tied up, because it works like a pin effect, because pin is like grapple. Not their best writing but it makes sense. And if you do cast the spell still, it's not straightforward for the princess to move you away, as you'll see. If you do manage the summons, it's also tricky because the choker has a 10 ft reach so the princess probably provokes from him if she picks you up.

Tina concentration, DC 22: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 2 = 20 Lmk if I got your concentration bonus correct as that's pretty close.

Both the princess and the choker brute avoid the worst of Snowball's breath but both are harmed by it. Sendi and Alloura both manage to draw some of the princess' blood and her adorable, pouting lip expression twists into a snarl of anger.

To clarify, Tina is providing a +1/+1 inspire courage right now. Does anyone (included the confused throwdown) need to add that to their hit and damage? This is pretty tight and important right now. I'll wait today to hear back on a couple of things like that which are influencing how this will go down.

Cindy forgot to add it, but even with the additional damage she doesn't get through Goldslip's DR. Snuggles also didn't have it but I'm guessing a 12 to hit still doesn't get her.

Same. Increases my damage to 3.

if Cindy had +3 to damage and rolled well, she could hurt Goldslip with a crit...
Likewise for Goldslip needing a crit, +1 damage, and good rolls xD

that increases Bob's to hit to 14. Maybe that hits...

@gm: concentration for summons: + 7 + 1 = +8, since I'm a 1st level summoner still

Angry and injured, the princess decides she needs to improve her situation. She turns to the choker and orders "Seize the little biter!"

The choker tries to grab Alloura out of the air but its long arms don't reach as expertly this time.

17 to grapple probably doesn't do it. 8 bludgeoning if the grapple succeeds.

The princess then concentrates, preparing to cast another spell with enemies all around. But her spell fizzles out and she looks shocked, unable to complete it!

Needed a natural 4 or higher on conc check and failed! Everyone, GO!

"You can't harm me, you silly little doll!" Goldslip says with a maniacal laugh while swinging her short sword again.

attack, bless, inspire: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 23
piercing damage: 1d4 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) - 2 + 1 = 2

Even Snowball has CMD 20, granted 4 of that is from the Advanced Template. If Allora is medium and not advanced that'd put her at CMD 18 with the same low wyrmling stats...

"I thought you were my sister. I thought you were my friend"

Stabby?: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8
Damage: 1d2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) - 2 + 1 = 0

Realizing somehow that this soft morsel in front of him is the cause of his mistress's brain issues, Mr. Snuggles rears up in front of the princess

Bite: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13
..Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Claw: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7
..Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Claw: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 = 14
..Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Grapple (if a claw hits): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

wow dem's some crappy rolls

Bob vaguely remembers something about Tina... something about acid... something about Tina drinking his acid.

Tina likes Bob's goo. That will make Tina feel so much better and keep her safe at the same time!

Bob moves atop of Tina and sucks her up into his protoplasm.

acid: 1d6 ⇒ 1

the plan here is that the twine tying Tina up will dissolve. But I have no idea if Tina will be paralyzed during Bob's good intentions or if she is immune. DC20 Fortitude check.

if it can't effect objects (hint, it can't), then fort save things don't effect creatures without CON scores :3

Hmmm... my acid doesn't affect metal or stone. Thankfully twine is carbon based. It should dissolve then. And it seems like I can't damage Tina at all so this is a great solution!

Resistance Acid 10 So good enough for me. I'll let DM figure out the twine thing

Tina keeps singing, now muffled in the protoplasm, "I've got my eyes on you, you're everything that I see"

Tina attempts to once again call Claudette to this world.

Concentration: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

The new princess dumps into the room where Tina had originally attempted, and says, That was weird. You called me? As she pulls out her shortsword, and strikes at the choker.

attack, flanking: 1d20 + 0 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 0 + 2 = 10
damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Bob begins dissolving Tina's bindings but it will take some time.

Mechanically, the bad guys put the effort in to tie her up with rope so I'm using those stats. I flavored it as twine because it was funnier.

Sendi and Alloura still to go!

Shortsword: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24
Damage: 1d2 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Fire Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9

”Fight me, princess!” Sendi yelled, getting into an exaggerated dueling pose. ”Look, I’ve even given you a one-arm handicap!” She giggled at her own (horrible) joke as she stabbed again.

Sendi stabs the princess, who falls bleeding to the ground. The choker looks around warily, holding the scythe with both hands.

Alloura still to go.

Alloura twists gracefully in the air, arching her lithe body out of the grasp of the disgusting creature.

"You're foul! You don't deserve to touch me!"

She then rears back and unleashes a blast of frigid air right in the choker's face.

Breath weapon: 2d8 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7

DC 14 reflex save for half

Is that the princess directly behind the choker?

Is that the princess directly behind the choker?

Looks like it. I don't think Tina's summoned Princess Claudette has an icon on the map.

Haha. That's the princess Claudette, with little in the way of magical powers, summoned by Tina's summon anti-monster homebrew spell. Basically she's a summoner with an archetype we homebrewed to summon npcs. Thus far it's been pure gold.

Sendi KOed the enchantress princess who was the problem.

The choker brute deftly dodges the worst of the cold breath but the human princess is quite surprised and freezes solid then falls forward on her face, shattering. The ice chunks of princess then disappear as the summoning ends and Tina hears a whisper in her ear "What was that?!!?" The choker then snatches at Alloura with its crazy long arms and claws and grabs her then begins dragging her up out of the longhouse.

Miss with a claw then 24 to hit and 26 to grab, which I'm guessing grabs? 6 dam then 8 from constrict. I think this means that Alloura is unconscious.

The monstrous heroes see the princess defeated but then this choker minion grabs the dragon they came to rescue and begins dragging it outside the longhouse!

Everyone, GO!

Cindy and Goldslip, your RP was great. So as a reward, I'm ruling the enchantress princess' confusion spell ends now that she's KOed so you can snap out of it.

recharge 4->3

Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 64

"NOoooo!" Snowball shrieks.
After watching her fiancee die, Snowball is overwhelmed by grief and tries to claw her own guts out.
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
