Miteke's Legacy of Fire

Game Master miteke

The snowball narrowly misses and the Peryton erupts into action, swooping down on Gnasher but taking a couple of nasty shots on the way in, his magic weapon bypassing all of its fancy magical defenses. Unfortunately for it, Gnasher is only mildly injured thanks to his rage (6 temp HP, right?) while the Peryton takes a beating.

Oh Crap, it's touch is pretty high.
Acid Splash, ranged touch, Point Blank shot 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 81d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Urah stares in shock as his believed shot misses it target.
Unable to accept it, he tries this time with a smaller glob of acid.

It hits the walls pretty accurately....

Well, dang. A second mistake. Missed that it was touch. That would have hit. What was the DC on the snowball? Why only 1d6?

I'll get my whole post in a bit here, but the snowball spell is 1d6 cold per level, plus staggered on a failed fort save

Now that Gnasher's got his bleed on, you two can blast the Peryton from the sky!

Tarak pushes into the room, his own fingers already frosted over with elemental magic, hurling a ball of frigid cold as soon as he has a shot.

Snowball, ranged touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Damage, Cold: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 3, 5) = 16
1d6/level, +1 for tattoo

fort save vs DC 16 or staggered for one round

Tarak downs the Peryton and it slumps to the ground, unconscious. It seems like your group has outgrown what was once an intimidating opponent! As it lies there, drool forming a puddle by its mouth, its eyes seem to track you like in one of those paintings in a murder mystery play. Only red and angry looking.

You head on over to the nest and find one egg about the size of a basketball (or Golarian equivalent).

You rummage around, with special attention for the nest, and find a lognsword of beautiful craftsmanship.

Releasing his rage, Gnasher attempts to smile a human smile. It ends up looking more like a growl than anything else. Moving down the steps, he lifts the Fauchard and chops at the things neck until the head separates from the body. Nodding. "wolfbird not look so angry at Gnasher now."

Then proceeding to the steps he heads towards the nest. Intent on ridding the town of all the perytons, Gnasher takes the large egg out of the nest. Standing lifting it in both hands he throws it to the ground beside the beast. Watching it shatter, he turns back to the nest digging around in it. First lifting up the sword, then lifting a ring he found buried within. Holding them out, he asks, "Can anyone tell if magical?"

cdg: 2d10 + 12 + 6 ⇒ (5, 9) + 12 + 6 = 32

"Ah... Uh... Ok." Tarak almost tries to stop Gnasher from destroying the egg, but is too slow. "Well that probably wasn't necessary. Might have been useful."

Approaching he takes the ring after casting detect magic.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

I don't have any ranged weapons, so I'm going to be of limited use here.

Casper ducks under a nearby overhang,

"Unfortunately, I don't have any ranged weapons -- but I can offer this dose of poison that we retrieved from the snake to anyone who might be able to get off a shot at this dreadful thing."

Handing Tarak the ring, Gnasher holds up the fancy sword, "Tarak check sword too." Offering the sword to the others, "Who can use" Casper? Fellipe?"

Realizing he could hear Casper but couldn't see him, Gnasher Bends over, looking under the overhang. Gnasher cocks his head curiously, "Casper, you want Gnasher give you knives to throw? And what dreadful thing you speak of? Go back and kill Harpy?"

Having destressed a little killing the peryton, Gnasher looks from Casper to Lupe to see what the chief thinks of the idea of hanging around town instead of returning to camp.

Having destressed a little killing the peryton, Gnasher looks from Casper to Lupe to see what the chief thinks of the idea of hanging around town instead of returning to camp.

"Yes, the harpy -- she must still be hanging around here somewhere close, eager to repay us for our strategic sequestering of the serpent's venom for our own use."

He grimaces when offered the daggers, clearly hoping that someone else would take the initiative and leave him out of the way of potential harm,

"No, no, that's all right, I don't think I'll be able to do much damage using those as ranged weapons -- and maybe you'll need them later for yourself anyway?"

Shrugging, Gnasher assumed the knives would be the perfect delivery system for poison. He just wasn't as good at throwing things as he was at bashing and chopping them. Holding out the longsword he asks. "Casper want longsword?" He then points towards the door, "Or maybe give to Fillepe?"

As for hunting the Harpy, Gnasher looks from Casper to Lupe, "What think chief? Chief said 'Kill Peryton go to camp' Chief think go to camp best still? Or maybe kill harpy before tribe leave town? Or go kill gnolls coming to kill tribe?"

Edit: Casper are you only carrying the punching daggers? I checked your sheet and didn't see any gear. You did a good job describing facial features, body type and cloths but what gear can we see?

Urah groans as Gnasher smashes the egg.
"What you do that for? It would have made a good meal or sold for more." he complains.

Seeing the same gnoll offering everyone weapons, he steps back and declines. Despite being a former thug, every time he handled bladed weapons with sharp edges and went into a fight, copious amount of blood would be shed...........namely his.

He does attempt to see if the items radiates a magical aura as well.
Detect Magic.

Spellcraft, to identify ring if magical 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Tarak struggles to figure out what the ring does, but gets nowhere. Casper complains about his uselessness and Gnasher tries to encourage him to take the fine sword, which, at least, Tarak CAN identify as magical.

Filliped waves off the blade and says, "Much too clunky for me. I'd probably end up hurting myself."

"I don't need the sword. But, boy what that impressive all pow zap. If we could do our talking plans like that we would be in great shape. If we can get the harpy alone we should kill her today. Maybe she will get bored of the other people and go back to the building we saw her in. If we have to take her on with others then we need to be at full to have a chance."

Hearing Urah's groan, Gnasher shakes his head. "Gnasher not eat sentient creatures and not wise to leave whelp alive to get vengeance." He gives a toothy smile. "Gnasher know."

Nodding to Filliped, Gnasher extends the sword to Casper again. "Casper, sword seem like good weapon, you use?"

As Lupe addresses the sword, Gnasher turns to him. listening and thinking. "It would be good to surprise her in lair. may not get another chance. But don't know if gnolls come with her." He looks at Urah and Tarak, not entirely understanding how their powers work. "You have power for bigger fight?"

if were going after the harpy, I would put Lupe and Tarak at one second floor window and Gnasher and Urah at the other. Filliped on the walkway on the second floor between them so his spells can support either way and Casper on the ground peaking out the door to make sure no one is coming by foot. Once she enters through a second story window the two near that window engage her, the others rush to help. It's a gamble but probably the only way we will surprise her. The other options is to come back to her building and try to bum rush her using ranged weapons, or just wait for her to attack us. I'm good going back to camp. Once we get there we need to ask Almah if she has a key for the packmasters palace

"I have some magic but they're not inexhaustible. Limited as they are I maybe able to provide some cover." Urah explains his powers badly.....

Unable to identify the ring, Tarak manages to note, "The sword is magic."

Listening to the group converse while gazing towards the sky the former pirate jumps a bit as Gnasher directs a question to him, "Uh, yeah. I've got a fair bit of me power left. I'm good to take that harpy down."

ok, Thursday, I asked about hitting the harpy, we talked a little about it Friday, but no real decision. Gnasher see's Lupe as the leader, but Lupe didn't say no. Not sure it's the right call, but no one has posted for two days, and inertia is a game killer. So here we go.

Hearing Lupe say "If we can get the harpy alone we should kill her today" Gnasher gives a toothy smile, nodding. "Let tribe go and try." Nodding when Tarak tells him the sword is magical, having been refused by the two humans, Gnasher tucks it in his belt alongside his knives. On his way towards the steps, Gnasher quickly checks the shelves in the building looking for anything of value.

Once back on the main floor, Gnasher points to the door. "Tribe hustle back to Harpy's building. If gnolls coming we flee to camp. If way clear we go into building upstairs." He looks at Casper. "Casper you watch door." Then looking at Filleped, "Bard you stay middle of upstairs shoot either way." He gestures towards Urah, "Gnasher and Fire-starter to right window and wait." Gesturing towards Lupe and Tarak, "Chief and Storm-watcher take left window." Not waiting for anyone to answer, he rests his fauchard on his shoulder and trots out the door moving towards the harpy's lair, keeping a keen eye out.

perception: rest of building: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
perception: any enemies on the way to the harpy's building?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
wow those are terrible rolls

You are all headed back towards the tannery when you encounter a squad of gnolls on the road and a very loud harpy screaming victoriously. Both parties were pretty loud and pretty alert so none of you are surprised.

"There! There the troublemakers are! A kiss to the gnoll that kills them!"

The gnolls look at each other in confusion. What was supposed to motivate them seems to have had the opposite effect. Go figure?

Urah blanches as he hears what the harpy said and feels deeply from the bottom of his heart for the Gnoll's plight. The harpy's promise of a reward was certainty daunting.

In response however, he trusts his magical protection. He had too.
With a tap of his wand, he ensures that a magical shield springs into place.

Hearing the Harpy scream, Gansher chuckles, "Tribe will not need to wait for bird woman." Seeing the hyena's running towards them, Chopping AOO at the black first, he begins to rage His paws grow into overly large claws, his eyes glow red, his fangs enlarge and he begins to froth at the mouth. While his brown hide takes on a red-orange cast to it, giving a peculiar laugh. Gnasher steps back and swings the fauchard at the other white Hyena.

Ignoring the shrilling harpy and charging heyenas for the moment, Tarak focuses his energy and calls out to the plants, few that there were, in the area to assist him, unleashing a grasping bramble on the four Gnolls.

Casting Entangle (DC 15) on the green circle.

Casper moves to flank one of the hyenas with Urah Pyr. He draws his cruel punching daggers and prepares to savage his opponents.

Just checking before I roll that I'm not getting any rules stuff wrong -- I did a move action (moved 5 squares = 25 ft., move action can move your move speed), and now I'm doing a sneak attack since I'm flaking the hyena.

That is correct, Casper. The trick to getting a flank, though, is to move to the opposite side of the enemy from a player that is engaged with it, preferably without drawing an attack of opportunity. I've marked the locations with a box that will allow you a flank at the moment.

Smiling a feral grin as the second heyna go down, Gnasher watches as one of the Gnolls break free from Tarak's brambles. Seeing the Harpy diving to attack Casper, Gnasher is too late to hit the bird woman. so he takes his rage out on the Gnoll. Lifting the fauchard he chops at the Gnoll as it exits the grasping weeds,

How high is the harpy?

I put her height on her icon. 20' up.

The hapless gnoll runs into a blender and is quickly dispatched by the enthusiaxtic... gnoll. Once again Gnasher deals an incapacitating wound to an opponent and the pile grows.

Tarak stalks forward chanting as the Harpy attacks and leaves herself in range of his magics.

hmmm, I may not have understood what happened. Did the Harpy drop far enough for Casper to get an AOO or is that from her getting close enough to attack?

[ooc]She dove in and did a fly-by on Casper. Since she moved through Casper's reach he got an AoO. She did not get close enough to anyone else that they could get an AoO. At that time (at least according to the map) Gnasher was more than 10' from the harpies flight path.

Got it, Thanks for the explanation. I was just excited about the chance to hit her without reverting to the sling. If I had gone back and looked at the posts I'd have noticed I said I wasn't close enough in my last post :)

Is it the gnolls move now?

pretty sure

Actually it is Casper's turn. That was his AoO and now he can take an action. After that it is the gnolls turn.

Harpy is also bleeding from both my sneak attacks

Bleeding Attack (Ex)
Benefit: A rogue with this ability can cause living opponents to bleed by hitting them with a sneak attack. This attack causes the target to take 1 additional point of damage each round for each die of the rogue’s sneak attack (e.g., 4d6 equals 4 points of bleed). Bleeding creatures take that amount of damage every round at the start of each of their turns. The bleeding can be stopped by a DC 15 Heal check or the application of any effect that heals hit point damage.
