Hungry are the Dead (Inactive)

Game Master Seldlon the Swift

Ranok's face curls into a snarl at the scene being played out before him. Once he sees the undead begin to move closer to him, he dashes forward and delivers a horizontal chop to the creature in front of him.

a note on a couple of items I have, as I think that they will come into play during this encounter.

+2 AC and 2/DR vs undead thanks to +1 defiant breastplate

undead get a -2 attack vs me due to a grave pendant.

Thanks for the heads up on your equipment. Just now bringing that up? Well, it has been pretty easy so far.

"Ugh. Oh. This one. This one's baad."

Ranok is sickened by the ghast's odor. He is sickened for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 minutes.

Sickened-The character takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

Seeing Ranok getting overwhelmed, Niu tries to help.

Moving into the room, he quickly chants and releases a lightning bolt, using the empowered metamagic rod.

The red bloody bones has Ranok in a grapple.

Ranok ✔
festrog, festrog red,
Ziera <==action to be applied has been rolled

Grappled means I can't attack with my sword. Or is this tentacle loose enough that I can still swing it? I'll roll a full attack, in case that's enough, and a cmb if it is not allowed.

Grappled creatures can take no action that requires two hands to perform. A roll is not necessary with a +10 to grapple. Ranok cannot escape the tentacle.

The bloody bones moves through his ally's space to avoid an AoO from Ziera. It launches 4 tendrils at Niu

All four wrap around him. He is grappled.

The red ghast moves to Ziera and bites.
bite v AC 20: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
damage+disease and paralysis: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

It smells terrible. Need another fort check, Ziera.

"No! This isn't how this is supposed to go!"

Niu attempts to cast a spell (Chill Touch).

Concentration: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28 (DC = 10 + CMB + 1)

Melee Touch: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 - 2 = 10 (vs. FF Grappled Touch AC)

An undead creature you touch takes no damage of either sort,

but it must make a successful Will saving throw or flee as if panicked
for 1d4 rounds + 1 round per caster level.

Will DC 17

The only spells which can be cast while grappling or pinned are those without somatic components....Chill touch is V,S. The spell slot is used and nothing happens.

Rhen steps north Hoping Ziera will come to aid him so he can really stab hard.

Stab: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 2 = 251d6 + 5 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 5 + (4, 5) = 19

Ziera is sickened by the odor for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 minutes.

Rhen does some pretty good damage to the blue festrog. He is splattered with necrotic fluids. Need a fort check, Rhen.

The blue festrog withdraws from combat. Black withdraws as well. So does gray. The red bloody bones attempts to maintain its grip on Ranok.
grab v CMD 17: 1d20 + 10 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 5 = 27
It pulls Ranok 5 feet closer.

or

cmb: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 - 2 = 10

You will need to perform a sunder which is a combat maneuver. You roll your CMB vs their CMD. If you succeed you deal damage to the object.

So using the rolls above, the combat maneuver to sunder missed the target.

The festrog moves east.

grapple v cmd 15: 1d20 + 10 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 5 = 24
The red ghast withdraws from Ziera. A yellow festrog crawls from the pit.

Not positive if I am still allowed to attempt to touch the tentacles that are holding me. If not, I have no actions worth taking

Melee Touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17 Minus whatever penalty applies

A pinned creature can always attempt to free itself, usually through a combat maneuver check or Escape Artist check.

I think that is your best option. Get free somehow.

A pinned creature cannot move and is denied its Dexterity bonus. A pinned character also takes an additional –4 penalty to his Armor Class.

Rhen moves South west, his sword in hand dripping the ichor from the previous undead that he stabbed. "Ye are all ugly aren't ye?" Rhen calls mockingly.

Stab: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 = 131d6 + 5 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 5 + (6, 4) = 16

I really need a flank set up to me more effective.

I tried to get free by touching him and enacting my spell. If I can't touch him, there is nothing for me to do.

Rhen misses the festrog.

The blue festrog charges Ranok
bite v AC 22: 1d20 + 4 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 - 4 = 14

Ziera takes 5 hp of damage. The black festrog looks stronger after having fed on her life force.

The gray festrog charges Ziera
bite v AC 20: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14

The red bloody bones pulls its meal named Ranok another 5 feet closer.

Ranok, Ziera ✔
festrog

Rational Ranok wouod have prefered to save his rage rounds for latter on. Grappled Ranok is pissed off and enacts his rage now as he tries to sunder the creature's tentacle!

CMB: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 - 2 + 2 = 17 -2 for sickened +2 for rage

Not sure if this is just a grapple thing, or if I do damage with my cmb by biting him. Here's the bite plus bleed damage just in case.

bite: 1d4 + 5 - 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 5 - 2 + (4) = 11 The 4 added at the end is bleed

Ranok just manages to land a bite. As he bites into it, he can tell that it is quite tough and he did a small amount of damage to it.

FYI: Damage that exceeds the object’s Hardness is subtracted from its hit points. So, you are dealing with something similar to DR.

festrog

Ziera feeling the pain and wooziness of the fight growls and focuses on the black one rapidly striking the creature.

Damage: 1d8 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 - 2 = 2
Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

She hits hard both times watching its bite in the flesh and glow in a righteous fury of ancient hatred

sigh. I finally get a good role and it's ineffectual. I'm going back to just trying to break free next turn.

Ziera deals some good damage but the festrog barely survives the hits.
