Ironperenti's Rise of the Runelords Campaign

Game Master Ironperenti

I still need an action for Zandril and then my goblins get to move before they get zapped. Will move on with the Forest encounter after that as well. Want to keep them somewhat close in rounds.

yeah, full round cast.. :| probably should have done it the other way, but oh well..

"I'll check the door across the way." Zandril says and hops to. He opens the door only to find yet another and so moves up to it (double move).

Zandril PER: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

All of the goblins get off of the slanted area of floor and manage to avoid the Eagle's talons while doing so. Then the one goblin who did not have to move fires his bow at Camil but misses. Forest shuffles the fight closer to the goblins. The tentamort attempts to squirm loose but fails. One of the goblins watching the tentamort fight turns to the other and comments.

Eagle AOO: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Goblin Commando atk: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 71d4 ⇒ 2

Tentamort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Will track everything from the big fight now

With a mighty shove, Forest pushes the all too friendly monster down the natural stone hallway and next to the goblins. "Here!" He huffs in the little green monster's own tongue. "You dropped this!" He shoves the landsquid the last few inches towards the door, turning it so its creepy red eyes are facing the newcomers. As he releases his controlling hold on it, he beats a hasty retreat, hoping it is intelligent enough to realize the seated, smaller, non-plate-wearing goblins would make for an easier meal than himself.

Grapple: 1d20 + 5 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 7 = 18
Standard action to maintain grapple and move monster + Forest half Forest's speed - 10 feet - west towards the goblins, putting the monster adjacent to the door/nearest goblin. Free action to release the grapple. Move action to move Forest 15 feet east and 5 feet south provoking an AOO from the squid, putting Forest in the square south of "D7" unless it grapples Forest with the AOO. I believe "D7" is the square in which Forest dropped his weapon and shield, and he will use two move actions to pick them up next round unless something else comes up.

The tentamort seems to not have an interest in grappling but it does lash out at forest with its stinger one last time. The thing hits him in the knee groove and it burns like crazy. (DC 15 FOR save, 3 CON dmg if fail)

What is the one untyped bonus? If you are using ABP rules, we scratched that. It was causing issues so I stopped using it.

This time Runt casts a create water on the fire, hoping to extinguish it. Like a robot the eagle lands and continues to attack the nearest creature (a goblin dog?).

to hit talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
damage, primordial: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

to hit talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
damage, primordial: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

to hit bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

@Runt: That big fellow is the bugbear

Then the bugbear gets a face full of eagle. Or foot full since the eagle is not so great at hovering.

Im on mobile tonight, so if it doesn’t make sense, can someone adjust my action?
Camil sights along his bow, and fires it into the bugbear. Lets go Friends! he cries as the arrow fires.

shortbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Makes sense, but it misses.

Zandril opens the door in front of him to reveal an L shape hall. The southern wing of this L-shaped hallway ends at a pair of stone doors carved with the depictions of two skeletons reaching out to clutch a skull between them, while to the east the hallway narrows down to frame a circular carving of what seems to be an immense stack of gold coins that rises from floor to ceiling.

@GM - Some questions: Did all the goblins move or did the map just get shifted on accident? Did Runt's spell have any affect on the fire? How big is the fire? Can we jump over it or will we have to walk through it? Are we able to stand in the alcoves with the statues?

wait, how did the bugbear move from the alcove? there is a pit in his way

"Ow ow ow!" Forest whimpers as he limps away from the monster.

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

@Lavanor: all of the goblins moved on their turn. I assume, Zherxikas will shift his spell assuming he still wishes to cast sleep. Yes the fire is out. I removed the fire from the debris. The debris is still difficult terrain but that is all. You may jump the debris if you like, the ceiling is 12' high. You may squeeze into an alcove with a statue.

@Zherxikas: I assume you just shift your spell over 15' to cover all of the goblins, yes?

@Zherxikas: just noticed your question, he move diagonal from the alcove to the slanted portion of bordering the pit and then moved around after all the goblins got out of the way.

Assuming Zherxikas uses the scroll, two of the goblins fall asleep

Runt will step into the alcove after the spell puts the fire out.

Ok thanks. I'm on mobile so no access to map. I can move up to 40' with double move. Not sure where that puts me. Maybe at the pile?

Do you want to go into the room and be front line or do you want to shoot your bow from the corridor?

A single move would carry you to the debris pile and then you could get off a bow shot. A double would get you up to the bugbear. The room is a little dangerous right now because it has a slanted floor leading to the pit.

Lavanor moves up to the debris pile, hoping he can avoid getting filled with arrows.

I moved you to a position just behind Camil. You have a shot on the Bugbear form there and it doesn't put you in a kill zone. No matter where you go you will have to shoot through folks and into melee (thanks to the eagle) to hit it though. And one of the foes looks to have occupied the spot where the fire was.
@Ironperenti
Speaking of which, that rubble icon is occluding the NPC icon under it.

Thanks but I had access to the map earlier and moved me. I have my sword in hand so I don't believe I can put it away, move, draw my bow and shoot in the same round. Moving to the debris will allow me to reach a goblin next turn if they dont move.

I moved the debris to the back. Someone had accidentally moved Lyrie forward and she was under the pile. Don't forget, the area inside the red square is slanted in toward the pit.

Isabella is up.

still not sure how the bugbear moved from the alcove closest to us as there is a pit in the way, its a hard corner, so he can't go 5' step to the NE, and saw no rolls for standing jump

I just gave it to him because it is a simple DC 5 maybe 10 climb check to round the corner and then a second move to cross the slanted portion.

Isabella moves up to the hall to observe the conflict but stays in a position where she can keep an eye on the currently unconscious Lyrie. Two of the goblins kick at the nearest sleeping goblins (standard action). The commando goblin shoots at Lavanor but misses. The bugbear meanwhile drops its bow, draws a heavy flail and proceeds to miss the hopping eagle.

In the level above, the two goblins attempt to flee the tentamort. The tentamort manages to grab one of them as they run.

Round 3 (heroes may go in any order, if you take an action it is assumed to precede the next person who posts unless you specify you are waiting.)

Goblins
Tentamort

Seeing the floor sloping towards the pit and not wanting to find himself surrounded in the room, Lavanor rethinks his strategy. He swaps out his sword for his new bow and fires an arrow at the goblin who shot at him.

MW Comp Longbow Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Damage(P): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

It's a solid hit that staggers the goblin but does not drop him.

Camil will switch targets and focus on the same goblin Lavanor fired at, training his arrow at it as well

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Forest retrieves his sword and shield from the ground where he had dropped them.

Two move actions to retrieve gear.

@Forest: I'll let you grab them with a single move action since they are essentially lying in the same spot. That gives you a move action to find a way out before the tentamort finishes its snack.

Camil's target is partially concealed by Lavanor giving the thing partial cover. Due to this, the shot misses.

Round 3 (heroes may go in any order, if you take an action it is assumed to precede the next person who posts unless you specify you are waiting.)
Zherxikas (20/20) <==
Runt (27/27)
Eagle (7/7)

Isabella (24/24)
Lavanor (27/34) standard action
Zandril (19/32)
Forest (26/32) move action
Goblins
Tentamort

Forest looks to the goblins and the monster after he grabs his things. ”This looks bad!” He shouts in goblin. ”Don’t panic, I’ll go for help!” With little in the way of options, he makes for the only way out of the room that he can see.

Cool cool. Move 20 feet to the south corridor.

Forest enters a rough hewn room. Crates, barrels, and mounds of miscellaneous refuse lie heaped against the walls here. A door provides an exit on the west wall.

Shocked that the eagle is still alive, biting and scratching, Runt decides that Lavenor should get a little boost and hastes him for one round using her Inquisitor's Direction.

to hit talon on bugbear: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
damage, primordial: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

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

to hit bite on bugbear: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Might as well have Zandril continue his exploration. It's too crowded out in the hallway anyway and he is not much of an archer.

"There's a door in here that goes deeper into this place. I think its the one Lyrie said was haunted. Do you want me to check it or wait until the gobos are taken care of?" Zandril asks back through the doorway.

Camil thinks for a split second, before calling out to Zandril, Ummm, no? Don’t open the haunted door while we’re fighting these goblins over here! Please? as he fires another arrow into the opponents.

shortbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

@Camil: my apologies, I was recording what you had done this round. I will keep that roll for next round though.

"Excuse me," says Isabella as she weaves past Zherxikas and into the hallway. She takes a long shot and casts hold person at the bugbear.

Will save DC 15.

Suddenly, the bugbear stops moving.

Round 4 (heroes may go in any order, if you take an action it is assumed to precede the next person who posts unless you specify you are waiting.)

Forest ignores what are probably supplies and moves deeper into the structure. I’m either going to find the people I’m looking for or find myself surrounded in the belly of the beast. A win-win, really.

Move action to move, move action to interact with door.

Oops made a mistake, it is still round 3 I will bot Zherxikas for this round and move to 4.

Zherxikas takes a moment to consider the situation and decides to wait for things to develop further. With their leadership in shambles, the goblins beat a hasty retreat. Camil takes advantage of the held bugbear and puts an arrow in him but the thing does not fall.

Forest opens the door to find a small hall which he crosses quickly and opens the next to find a central chamber with numerous doors and a stairwell leading up.

Assuming Camil's uses his last roll and attacks via bow. Only target remaining is the bugbear.

Round 4 (heroes may go in any order, if you take an action it is assumed to precede the next person who posts unless you specify you are waiting.)

Goblins

Works for me! Thanks.

"Someone take down that bugbear before my spell wears off!" shouts Isabella.

Runt gives Isabella a combination look of 'duh' and 'we're TRYing'. Hopping into the air again, the eagle starts slashing and slicing the bugbear, and gets another nice shot in.

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

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

to hit bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Runt doesn't like the look of that pit, though, and holds back, instead casting guidance on Camil.

Feeling sped up like before and hearing Isabella's plea, Lavanor drops his bow and starts moving around the pit. "Camil, make sure that bow doesn't get lost. Isaballa, how much time do we have before the spell wears off?" he says as he moves while drawing his sword. Moving all the way around the pit and to the bugbear, he attacks.

ECB Power Attack (bugbear): 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 8 - 1 + 1 = 27
Damage(S): 1d10 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 3 = 14

Crit confirm (bugbear): 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 8 - 1 + 1 = 24
Damage(S): 1d10 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 3 = 14

"No telling! He'll keep resisting it, could be seconds!"

The eagle gives the bugbear a nasty gash and then Lavanor crosses to safety and takes the thing's head off. In the distance, Lavanor can hear the sound of goblins running up the stairs in mere flight or to get reinforcements is anyone's guess. For now, the battle seems to be over.

You have two more rounds of pit. What are you going to do about the combatant at the bottom of it.
