GM Bigrin's The Fall of Plaguestone (Inactive)

Game Master bigrin42

Dahros bounces off the locked door.

From the floor Dahros exclaims "We gotta locked door here! LOG! Get up here and fix it!"

d'Log inspects the door.

This door looks perfectly fine, and doing exactly what it suppose to do. Its blocking our way from that guy that we should problem catch. It doesn't need to be fixed. If anything, it needs to be destroyed.

d'Log takes his tools out and starts to nimbly play with the lock. He looks over to rick for some GUIDANCE and gets some

Finesse takes time my long shank friend. Seeing what you did to that dog has me all fired up. Its hard to concentrate with the thrill of fresh dog meat there. Have you ever had dog meat great longshank?

pick lock: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Well, guess I earned my dinner!

d'Log easily picked the lock on the door, and Dahros slammed it open and burst through into a short hallway that opened into what was apparently Hallod's living quarters. The main room held a table and a cot, with a crude firepit on one end. Off the main room were what looked like a larder and a lavatory (really just a hole in the ground). The place reeked of smoke and filth.

Though there were likely other items stashed in the living quarters if you had time to stop and look, the room was missing one obvious thing. Hallod was nowhere to be seen, but running footsteps could be heard coming from a cave tunnel that exited the far end of the room.

Map is updated

Skittles whispers to her allies "go go go!!!" then shouts out "Harrod, we just want to talk! Please! " and with that, Skittles, rushes down the cave ext after Harrod, with crew in tow.

d'Log runs right behind skittles reading to fight.

Ykka follows along at the back of the group, playing a quick folk tune to inspire everyone.

You chased off after Hallod, jogging through what seemed like miles of caves. Although the path is far from level, you can tell that it has been worked for easy travel. Several stalagmites have been broken and cleared away, and wooden bridges have been stretched over pools of stagnant water. After about 10 minutes of jogging, you come to the third largish cavern you have seen so far, with a larger pool of water filling about two-thirds of the chamber. You are halfway across the room when an eerie blue glow suffuses the water and shimmers on the cavern ceiling. Seconds later, the head of a giant blue snake rises from the pool with sparks of electricity dancing between its fangs. A metal, rattle-tipped tail breaks the surface of the water and flicks back and forth rapidly, audibly building up an electric charge as it went.

"Electric snake!" Dahros calls out. "Going into the water to attack it sounds like a bad idea. Perhaps we should shoot it until it comes out." he says, drawing his bow and firing two arrows at it.

Longbow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5
Longbow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Ykka plays louder, pouring a little bit of inspiration magic into the song.

Inspire Courage: +1 status bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves against fear effects

k:nature: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Skittles recognizes this foe from her earlier years of research. She shouts to her allies "Its bite will hit you with electrical damage, and be weary of his tail, for it can shoot lightning bolts!"

Can i learn weaknesses with my knowledge roll? or is what is in the spoiler it?

Without skipping a step, d'Log jumps to the rock trying to balance while sinking both dogslicers into the spark snake.

Acro to balance: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

get the legless spark dog!

1st attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

2nd attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Damage v Flat: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1) + 3 = 7

Can't edit my previous post to add in the rest of my action, so you get it here instead

Skittles then lifts her hand crossbow and fires a bolt at the snake.

atk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 5P

Spell Attack, Produce Flame: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 Double and 1d4 persistent fire if crit

Rick steps five feet back and then whips his hand towards the giant snake, throwing a small ball of fire at it's face.

Rick's fire burns into the creature, but it seems to still be quite active. So much so that it easily dodges d'Log's strikes. It hisses in pain as Skittles' crossbow bolt hit, then again as Dahros' arrows struck. Ykka's bolstering melodies kept everyone going strong, even as the snake struck out.

The lightning serpent lunged at d'Log, stabbing is sparking fangs into the goblin and releasing a bolt of electricity into him. d'Log twitched back, bleeding and scorched from the bite. Then, the snake's metal-tipped tail pointed at Dahros and an actinic arc of lightning tore across the cave, lighting the walls and ceiling with a blinding flash, and tearing into both Dahros and Ykka.

Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Dahros was just getting ready to comment on how badly the goblin was injured when the damned tail scorched him. He grunts loudly, but manages to act quick enough to avoid the full blast from the creature. He looks over his shoulder to see if Ykka was able to move int time as well as he then fires more arrows at the thing.

Longbow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6
Longbow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7
Longbow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Not sure if I can shoot a bow tree times or not. If not, disregard![/ooc]

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Ykka feels the full effect of the lightning coursing through her. The music begins to skip a little while her arms twitch. "Kill that thing already! Another shot like that and I'll be down for the count!" When she begins playing again, the song is softer, warmer, little ball of furrier, "Dahros, you took that a little better than I did so I'll get you next time."

Cast Sooth on self and guarded step back.
Sooth: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

d'Log grits his teeth and starts to spin and whirl his dog slicers

you bite, you make d'Log bleed. I eat legless dog for dinner tonight.
twin feint: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Damage vs FF: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 1) + 3 = 9

d'Log jumps back off his rock to the main land

Skittles assesses the situation, seeing many of her allies taking some damage from the latest attacks. She quickly readies her crossbow to fire another round.

reload, and fire again
atk crossbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 6P

d'Log's strike took down the snake, as the cumulative damage was too much for it. You all took a moment to congratulate yourselves, but your quarry was getting away!

Dahros once more returns to the chase. "C'Mon!" he shouts, waving his companions onward.

Dahros led you off into the tunnels once more, still following Hallod, though wondering all the while if he may have gotten too far ahead, given you the slip, or is waiting to ambush you. By the time you break into the next large cavern, many of you are out of breath and sorely wishing you hadn't eaten such a large breakfast. The tunnel you have been traversing opens into a cave, and you can see a forest beyond the cave’s mouth. The roots of a large tree block the middle of this entrance, as if the tree had grown into a hillside that has since eroded away. Beyond the tree is a large pond; a path around the water begins to one side beneath a curtain of moss hanging from the tree. The cave itself is piled high with two rows of neatly stacked crates and boxes.

Hallod leaped from behind the tree and leveled a heavy crossbow at Dahros. He said, "I wondered how long it would take Bort's lackeys to arrive. Let's do this, children!" and fired. The quarrel was fired in haste, and it smacked into the ground well before Dahros, drawing everyone's attention to the cords run across the cave in two spots. They were obvious triplines, though to what it was hard to tell. Hallod dropped the heavy crossbow and pulled a wicked-looking kukri, making a come-on gesture with his free hand.

"You're finished, Hallod!" Dahros shouts in return. Reaching down he looks at d'Log and asks "Ready Log?" and grabs a hold of the goblin and spins in place to get momentum before heaving him towards Hallod.

Not sure what you want from me or how many actions that is, but he's a ranged attack roll! Tell me what else I need or what I have left.

Throw d'Log: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

log throw activate.

d'Log holds his dogcatchers close to his body, edge out and falls into his trapeze form. Getting readies to be launched.

Grab my legs, spin to catapult. I'll leverage the throw with my lower body.

Acro to land: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

laying the the ground at Hallod's feet d'Log grins a wide toothy goblin smile. getting goblins to do your dirty work, time for this goblin to work you dirty.

d'Log kicks up from the floor to stand and slams one dogslicer into Hallod's leg.

attack vs ff: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 2) + 2 = 10

[occ] getting thrown = move, standing = move, attacks. Those are my three actions[/occ]

Acro: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

2 Action Heal spell: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Rick ducks, dives, and dodges around the obstacles and tripwires. He doesn't quite perform d'Log's high-flying act, but during his dance through danger he deftly darts towards the goblin and sends some positive healing vibes his way.

1 move, 2 action ranged heal on d'Log

Rick, i'm going to assume you hold until after Hallod, since d'Log wasn't currently injured. Unless you meant Dahros?

Dahros did something he'd been dying to try ever since he hooked up with this group of shorties. He picked d'Log up and threw him. His only real purpose was to get the goblin close to Hallod, maybe prevent the big guy from firing that crossbow again. What he managed to do was get d'Log in striking range...on his face, but in striking range. The goblin popped up, slashing at Hallod, but missing as a giant spear launched itself and grazed his stomach. Looking down, the goblin saw that when he had stood up, he had stepped right on one of the trap ropes!

"Ain't never seen someone disarm a trap by throwing a greenie into it before. You're my kinda hero. But, since the greenie's still standing..."

Hallod lashed out at d'Log with both his kukri and the ham-sized fist he had balled his off hand into. d'Log ducked and weaved, avoiding the first two blow, but the hooked kukri came back up behind his leading leg. The blade ripped out d'Logs femoral artery and he felt cold as his blood rushed out to pool on the ground. With a cry, Rick ran forward to heal his goblin friend, pulling d'Log back from the brink of death.

Ykka curses herself for using her last heal on herself. She begins to play in earnest, trying to inspire her friends. As she looks around at them, she spies some nails on top of one of the crates and wills them toward Hallod's face.

Think I got all that right. Dice are not rolling my way today.

Attacking if nobody knocked down, else another cantrip attack. Can I sling attack too? I don't understand the ranged weapon draw/attack/reload economy yet. IF he has cover i'll move to the right

"Soo... you're guilty as sin then, eh Hallod? Not that I don't enjoy a nice greeting of giant electric snakes as much as the next stunningly handsome gnome, but my friends here have enough scars without "

Produce Flame: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Sling if possible: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

"Why? I just want to know why you have done this. You won't escape. "

Skittles hurries up, reaches into her belt pouch, and pulls out a tanglefoot bag, throwing it at Harrod.

throw tanglefoot bag: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

it misses horribly, as the weak gnomes arms were just not up to the task today.

derp

Cursing loudly, "Dammit Log! We need to work on that!"

He leaps the tripwire and charges ahead as he pulls out his warhammer. As he closes the distance, he tries to swing into the fleeing man but can't time his swing as much as he would have liked.

Acro: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Warhammer: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

d'Log has a vision of his guts and arteries getting ripped out then snaps back to the battle.
Dahros, this your blood? Or did you make hamlard bleed? Well, time to dance big dog
twin feint: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
2nd attack vs ff: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3) + 3 = 7

Hallod laughed as most of your attacks missed or bounced from his armor. He stopped laughing, though, when Rick's fiery attwack singed his badly scarred face.

"You're next, midget!" He called as he ignored the small wound d'Log left. He lashed out again at the goblin, trying to take him down and advance on the rest of the group. He made another one-two attack, gashing d'Log deeply with the knife and then laying out the goblin with his fist. Once more d'Log crashed to the ground, and Hallod started to move in on Rick, but was stopped by Dahros. Never one to take a challenge sitting down, Hallod sent his kukri diving at Dahros, but the big man blocked it.

Ykka plays louder, singing along. She sends more nails through the air as well, hopeful one can find their target before d'Log dies.

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13
Slashing: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9
Inspire Courage - +1 status bonus to attack rolls, damage, and saves against fear effects.

Dahros attacks twice with his warhammer and then raises his shield to defend against the anticipated attack. "You're done, Hallod! This is for Bort!"

Attack, Warhammer: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Attack, Warhammer: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 9 - 5 = 21 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Skittles, seeing her attacks mostly useless, rushes over to the fallen goblin.

"Oh gosh. Don't worry buddy. I got you! I hope this is the right formula"

d'Log become conscious once again and shakes the fog from his eyes
d'Log stumbles to his feet and looks around to find Hallod

Every meet an unbreakable goblin? Come at me longshank

d'Log spits a a phlegmy ball of coagulated black goblin blood at Hallod

Create a diversion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

d'Log sneaks around and tries to become one with the tree

sneak: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Skittles ran up to d'Log and patched up his wounds, bringing the goblin back to life. d'Log didn't hesitate or

"You can't fool me, little goblin. I see you sneaking around back there!"

Hallod dodged the nails that Ykka threw at him, spinning to slash and punch at d'Log again. If nothing else, the goblin was distracting the man from the others. Dahros managed to get a good hit in with his hammer before Hallod moved away. The blow was enough to keep Hallod's strikes from landing on d'Log, though.

"Just where do you think you are going?" the fighter asks. He moves around to flank Hallod with d'Log. He swings his mighty warhammer into the man twice with great satisfaction!

Attack, Warhammer: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Attack, Warhammer: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 9 - 5 = 21 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Ykka moves up, carefully trying to cross the first tripwire while maintaining her song. She looks around for some rocks, frustrated the nails haven't been as effective as she'd hoped.

Round 3
Acro: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Inspire Courage - +1 status bonus to attack rolls, damage, and saves against fear effects.

Did not account for IC in my post! Please add in!

Rick R3 - will start including IC now since I'm dumb

Rick sidesteps around some debris and spaces himself from Skittles. "Little bugger just keeps coming back. He's like bamboo, but smellier. Let me clear the air for you."

Rick punctuates his sentence by tossing another ball of flame at Hallod.

Produce Flame Spell Attack + IC: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Seeing the team go all out, Skittles raises her hand crossbow, and lets a bolt fly at Hallod.

atk: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13
dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 3P

Though her bolts fly about as well as her tanglefoot bags do.

"Dangit! Just lay down your weapon Hallod, and this can all be over!"

Come on Jar, come Eth We need to find an opening. Tall man has him occupied.
attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
damage1: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 1) + 3 = 10
attack2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
damage2: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2) + 3 = 8

Disappointed that he whiffed again, d'Log steps back behind the cover of the tree and looks to see if there are any foot/hand holds for him to climb up it.

Hallod manbeast, why you so angry at us green people?

perception on tree: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

If allowable, skittles will take her 2nd and 3rd action in her previous post, to move up and shove a healing potion down d'logs throat

"Here, now drink this up"
lesser elixir of life: 1d6 ⇒ 1

None of the small people's attacks came close to hitting Hallod, though Dahros got in a couple of hard hits. With his favorite target out of reach for the moment, Hallod turned his knife and fists onto Dahros. The knife drove deeply, catching Dahros on the back of his left thigh and cutting deeply before throwing the man to the ground.

"Why should I want this to be over? I'm having too much fun!"

Ykka points at Hallod's balls with a flourish of her bow and a handful of pebbles flies toward him. She resumes her song.

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 = 20
Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11
Inspire Courage - +1 status bonus to attack rolls, damage, and saves against fear effects.

"Eeeek! We are falling left and right. Lets stay focused friends!!!" Skittles shouts out as she rushes over to tend to Dahros next.

"Oh no! I don't think I did this right at all!"

Heal: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Rick glares at the murderer, "Hey... if you want us to beat you down all day, we can do that. Dahros, get up and put him down. For good. For Bort."

Rick whips his sling towards Hallod for good measure.

Sling attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

d'Log rushes to help his tall friend and tries to take his revenge on hallod1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

big man's hard to hit huh

Forgot IC in my post, can't edit.
