Ironperenti's Rise of the Runelords Campaign

Game Master Ironperenti

The hyena yelps again and disappears. A high pitched disembodied voice curses in Thassilonian.

Perception DC 20: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 2 = 8

Trunt can't figure out where it is so he runs up to the alter, loads his crossbow and readies an attack for something to appear.

A smaller fiendish canine appears near lavanor and attacks. It misses. Then a cold rush of power runs through everyone but Trunt (oddly, he is outside the radius whereas Runt is caught in it) and the quasit becomes visible.

Save vs Fear DC 14; those who fail must try to flee for 4 rounds, if you make the save you are shaken for one round. A shaken character takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

dog atk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 131d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
1d4 ⇒ 4

Round 5
Quasit done
Lavanor
Runt
Camil
Zandril
Trunt
Isabella

Will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Of course. Because I will always fail at anything important. Like my character who just got turned to stone in another game. Or the one who failed five saving throws in a row and died from poison.

Isabella flees and never returns.

Will vs. Fear: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Zandril feels the wave of fear wash over him, but is able to keep his composure.

will ST: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

eagle will ST: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Runt holds her ground but watches with distaste as her eagle turns tail and flees.

How high up is the quasit? If it is too high for her she will probably haste someone with a decent ranged weapon that is not running in fear.

Readied Action

Trunt's crossbow twangs as he fires at the suddenly visible quasit.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Trunt, startled by the sudden appearance whirls toward the Quasit but the bolt goes wide narrowly missing Runt.

Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Camil feels the wave of cold wash over him, and shakes his head to clear it. He closes with the dog, flanking with Lavanor and attacks with his bladed scarf.

Attack (flanking): 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 5 - 2 + 2 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Round 5 - Status Fear 1 of 4 rds

The roll for my readied attack which I think I still get. Edit - doesn't matter
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Will save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 Oh great. That's 5 rolls in a row under 10. RNG isn't liking us right now Jessie.

Lavanor swings and misses at the small canine that suddenly appears by him. When the strong chill runs down his spine, he is filled with fear and runs.

Not sure where the quasit is. Would I run away from it? Not sure if I would run out the door we came in or out the side door closest to me.

The quasit was 15' above the floor

The quasit is on the far side of the room behind the orange pool. You can choose which route to flee if you miss your save. Remember it takes a move action to open a door. Lavanor does indeed get his swing in before the spell overtakes him. Let's say he tries the closest door away from attacking creatures such as the dog.

Camil's attack takes the dog in his right flank and digs deep. Lavanor steps to the nearest door and flings it open only to find himself staring at a large closet. Huddling in the closet is a possibility or he considers running for the other door. Isabella kind of helps him in that as she runs to the door and flings it open.

Dog Sv: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 scared her own dog

Round 5
Quasit done
Lavanor fear
Runt need action
Camil done
Zandril need action
Trunt need a Will save
Isabella fear

Zandril stows his shortbow, takes a step toward the dog and stabs at it, but the sword misses its mark.

Estoc: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Runt, frustrated by the height of the winged fiend and with no missile weapons of her own, merely targets Trunt with her special ability to haste him (one extra attack, which you should be able to use after you reload using a move action)

A smaller fiendish canine appears near lavanor and attacks. It misses. Then a cold rush of power runs through everyone but Trunt (oddly, he is outside the radius whereas Runt is caught in it) and the quasit becomes visible.

So I DO need to make a will save?

Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

@Trunt: sorry, no. forgot my own comments.

The quasit speaks again and casts a spell. This time, everyone in the room has a feeling of dread settle upon them (Bane -1 to hit and fear saves DC 14 will save).

Round 6
Quasit done (dog runs out the door)
Lavanor fear 2 fleeing
Runt
Camil
Zandril
Trunt
Isabella fear 2 fleeing

Trunt, remember to take your extra attack.

Runt dismisses her dog so that she can summon something that flies in a bit.

do i get an attack of opportunity as the dog in melee flees?

Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Zandril can't quite shake off the darkness from this aweful place, he once again draws his shorbow, drops his Estoc at his feet and lets an arrow loose at the flying demon.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 - 1 = 22
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

@Camil: why not, AOO away.

Zandril hits and the Quasit hisses.

Trunt fires his Crossbow, reloads and then fires again at the Quasit, seeing the nimble creature scaring off his companions but it dodges out of they way and Trunt curses the creature and his crossbow.

Crossbow (Haste): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Crossbow (Haste): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

*drops Crossbow and kicks it like in a tantrum* I've seen a couple people try to use a crossbow on the forums, they've never rolled well...

Camil snaps his bladed scarf at the retreating dog, trying to incapacitate the fleeing beast. Out damn thing!

AOO: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 - 2 = 4
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Dropping the bladed scarf in frustration, he picks up his shortbow and quickly fires an arrow at the quasit.

Bow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Get down here you little thing! Argh Camil calls out in frustration.

The quasit goes invisible again. The dog runs.

Runt had an eagle but I guess you scratched that now that it is flying away.

Round 6
Quasit done
Lavanor fear 3 fleeing
Runt
Camil
Zandril
Trunt
Isabella fear 3 fleeing

Yep, no point if the eagle cannot see the thing.

Runt searches for signs of the elusive creature.

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

If she spots it she points it out for the rest of them. Otherwise she waits and will summon an eagle if it appears.

@Runt: she does not get a good read for where it went though she thinks it may have flown past her.

Camil withdraws a potion from his belt and drinks it deliberately.

Draw potion, drink (Adhesive spittle)

Well, at least the door is closed. I's not going far unless it uses magic.

"Make sure it can't open the door."

OK, are the main double doors open since Isabella and Lavanor had to flee? If so, we have no idea if this thing is in the room with us right?

Yeah, I doubt we stopped to close them ;)

Trunt looks around the room, glancing at the others and shrugs saying, "Well, I don't have any idea how to find that thing, do you all?" and heads toward the doors.

Isabella and Lavanor left the doors hanging open. To cutoff possible retreat, assuming it has not already left, one of the three of you standing near the door can push it closed (free action). As Zandril prepares his attack as well, they wait. The quasit does not wait long.

An invisible tiny knife come flying from the air and then she is visible. The knife sinks to its tiny hilt in Zandril and then flies back to the quasit.

Quasit vs Zandril: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 311d2 ⇒ 1
Crit confirm: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 321d2 ⇒ 2

make readied attacks, then follow up with this rounds actions

Round 7
Quasit done
Lavanor fear 4 fleeing
Runt
Camil
Zandril
Trunt
Isabella fear 4 fleeing

Camil spits at the quasit, hoping to pin the flying thing to the ground.

Adhesive Spittle Reflex save DC 14 or be unable to fly
Duration: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

Quasit REF: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Runt completes the spell she had been saving and an eagle springs into being, The thing is massive for an eagle and those talons look like they could be on a tiger.

to hit talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
damage, primordial: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

to hit talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

to hit bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

It is, unfortunately, a rather clumsy monstrosity.

HP: 7
AC: 14
SR: 7

Move, primordial: 90' flight, average man.
Senses low-light vision; Perception +10

After running toward the double doors, Trunt sees the Quasit reappear, loads his crossbow and fires again at the nimble creatures.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Zandril takes aim at the quasit and lets another arrow loose.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

He picks up his Estoc and curses at the demon.

The little Quasit snarls, "You wish to defile the mother's sanctum? Well, I'll anoint her alter with your blood." Then she jabs at the eagle harassing her.

Quasit vs eagle: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 141d2 ⇒ 2

The wing icons represent the tokens are flying. The number is the multiples of 10 they are in the air.

Round 8
Quasit done
Lavanor
Runt
Camil
Zandril
Trunt
Isabella

Camil drops the empty vial and takes up again his shortbow, sighting the quasit and firing an arrow its way.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Last round of fear?

The eagle slides to its right and continues its imperative with no move success than last time.

to hit talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
damage, primordial: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

to hit talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
damage, primordial: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

to hit bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Runt cusses at the ineffective clumsiness and decides to give Camil a little boost.

Camil, you are hasted for a round from the Inquisitor's Direction ability.

@lavanor: no, that was it. You are free to take action from your location in the halls.

@camil: you get a second shot if you care to take it since you were hasted for a round.

Round 8
Quasit done

With preternatural haste Camil fires a second arrow at the quasit.

Hasted attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Scoring a hit Camil silently pumps his fist in victory!

Zandril sneers at the demon. He sheathes his Estoc and lets an arrow fly at the quasit.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Reaching the rough walls of the cave, Lavanor stops running. "Isabella, we need to get back to the group," he yells to her before turning around to get back to the fight.

Double move

@Camil: AC 22 for our little quasit.

Camil looks dejected as the arrow flies wide of the mark again...

Trunt lets fly with another crossbow bolt at the creature, but it goes wide.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

"Can someone pin this thing down? I cant hit it worth diddly-squat."

"It does seem pretty hard to hit, but I guess we should expect that given how tiny it is. it doesn't look all that tough though. Just keep up the pressure."

The quasit, now distracted by the eagle, lashes out at it.

dagger, claw, bite: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 241d2 ⇒ 11d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 221d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 11d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 111d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Eagle FOR vs poison DC 14: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 = 14

ROUND 9
Quasit done
Lavanor
Runt
Camil
Zandril
Trunt

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Is it possible to climb up on the fountain to reach the quasit?

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

"Hey, not fair. The thing is healing and its not even casting a spell!"

to hit talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
damage, primordial: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

to hit talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

to hit bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

This time, since Zandril actually hit, Runt gives Zandril a little boost from her ability and he is hasted while her eagle continues its assault.
