Laiashi |
I don't know how effective I'll be this fight, since I can't hope to sneak attack him.
Dagger 1 + bless + guidance - Combat Expertise: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 11
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 +1 fire
Dagger 2 + bless + guidance - Combat Expertise: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 13
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 +1 fire
AC is 20 this round.
GM Rinaldo |
WOW, the dice are just not with you :-(
Ushi guides Patros' hand, but even with mystical help no one is able to land a blow on Nicasor.
The Shae, clearly pleased with this demonstration of his prowess, continues to press his attack on Patros.
Primary attack, longsword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12 Miss
Primary attack, shortsword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 Miss
Iterative attack, longsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 Miss
Iterative attack, shortsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 Damage (S): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 Damage (cold): 1d6 ⇒ 1
You didn't pre-roll a parry/riposte ... were you out of panache, or did you just forget? If you have it, go ahead and roll to see if you can get out of that damage. Otherwise 13 more damage puts you at 26/28.

Ushi Goroshi |
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Ushi offers what little healing he has to staunch Patros' wounds.
Laiashi |
Laiashi continues her assault despite Nicasor's obvious superior skill.
Dagger 1 + bless - Combat Expertise: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 - 1 = 23
Miss chance (21+ to hit): 1d100 ⇒ 25

Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 +1 fire
AC 20 this round.
GM Rinaldo |
Laiashi manages to sink one of her daggers into the Shae, and she smells the satisfying scorch of flesh.
7 damage to Nicasor.
GM Rinaldo |
Parry successful, no damage. Riposte did not hit, sadly. After Ushi's healing, you are at 5 damage, 23 hp remaining.
Go ahead and take your new turn now.
Patros Therinor |
Patros carries on, hoping he can get some backup from Nino soon.
attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 111d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
p/r: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 281d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 211d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
intimidate: 1d2 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
intimidate again if i hit...not sure if it stacks...if I parry that's 3/5 panache used
Nino the Green |
Patros carries on, hoping he can get some backup from Nino soon.
How do you hope that? I am unconscious (-8HP.)
GM Rinaldo |
Despite fending off Nicasor's attack, Patros is unable to land another shot of his own.
The Shae continues his assault, concentrating on Patros.
Primary attack, longsword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25 Parried, Riposte misses
Primary attack, shortsword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18 Miss
Iterative attack, longsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 Miss
Iterative attack, shortsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 Miss
"You are skilled at the art of not being hit, I will give you that. But you will tire long before I will. Perhaps this is the point at which you admit defeat, take your fallen comrade, and depart?"
No change to the lineup. Everyone except Nino is up!
GM Rinaldo |
Remember he can't be crit.
If you are referring to the two d20s he rolled, that was one for the parry and a second for the riposte.
Ushi Goroshi |
"I shall even heal the wounds inflicted upon you here if you agree." Ushi adds. "You are free of the mirror, as we said you would be."
Laiashi |
"Funny thing about contracts, Nicasor... I really don't care about them."
Dagger 1 + bless - Combat Expertise: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 - 1 = 23
Miss chance, 21+ to hit: 1d100 ⇒ 3
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 +1 fire
Dagger 2 + bless - Combat Expertise: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 - 1 = 10
Miss chance, 21+ to hit: 1d100 ⇒ 53
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 +1 fire
...ugh
Patros Therinor |
Just die already!
Patros curses as he swings and fends off any attacks.
attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 201d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
p/r: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 161d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 261d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
4/5 panache used if I parry..did my earlier attempts to intimidate have any effect?
edit...completely forgot Ushi cast Bless...any hits of ours miss by 1? i'll take anything i can get at this point...
GM Rinaldo |
No, you haven't missed by 1; and no, your attempts to intimidate haven't worked so far.
Patros and Laiashi continue to have difficulty landing blows on the shadowy form of the shae.
Ushi is up!
GM Rinaldo |
Ushi uses a wand and heals Patros so that he can keep fighting.
Nicasor continues his assault on Patros:
Primary attack, longsword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20 Hit, parry unsuccessful damage (S): 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 damage (cold): 1d6 ⇒ 1
Primary attack, shortsword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13 Miss
Iterative attack, longsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 Hit damage (S): 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 damage (cold): 1d6 ⇒ 1
Iterative attack, shortsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Miss
That's 24 total damage to Patros, leaving him at 4hp.
"Even with your healing wand, I am going to defeat you. Accept that you have lost today, withdraw with your companion, and leave the Baron to his fate. You do not have to die today."
Everyone is up!
Ushi Goroshi |
"Nor do you need to kill today. Everyone can walk out of here." Ushi counters, touching Patros again with the wand.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
GM Rinaldo |
Nicasor nods and lowers his swords, keeping on guard, but not immediately threatening.
He allows you to lift Nino's unconscious form and drag him away from the mirror chamber. As you do, you see the mirror itself begin to crack and shatter as the dimension it once held collapses.
Once out of the basement, you are able to heal Nino up sufficiently for him to move on his own. You retrieve your mounts and leave the beleaguered town of Karpad.
Reports coming out of the area later indicate that the destruction of the demiplane has lifted the "tallowthroat" curse; while those already afflicted all died, no new cases have happened. Oddly, there are no reports of the death of the baron. What exactly that means will be seen in the months and years to come.
=======================================
Ushi Goroshi |
”If you can look beyond your revenge, you may find allies outside of Nidal. I hope to hear of a positive outcome here when we return to our society.” Ushi offer Nicasor as he helps Laiashi carry Nino away.
Nino the Green |
When Nino regain consciousness.
"What, what is going' on!? Uh, that Nicasor can hit really hard!"
Laiashi |
"Unexpectedly so," Laiashi agrees with Nino, an unmistakeable bitterness in her voice. "We had to leave the baron behind, or I don't think any of us would have made it back. Looks like they left that part out of the papers, though."
