Silver Rose Sidequests

Game Master Patrick Curtin

One of the mummies' attacks hits for 12 - 6 = 6 damage.

[dice="Fortitude]1d20+12+2

Depending on the type of effect, Alessia may be immune.

Don't worry about rolling fort. That's only for their claw attack. They sensed you were undead and know that their effects likely wont bother you

Justin curses in draconic.

"Stupid magical sleet storm probably dampens fire magic too."

The wizard feels his way around the column, counting his steps.
5'step to M11

"FIRING BLIND! FIREBALL, CENTER POCKET! CLEAR! FUEGO VIREDNETH MAXIMUS!"

OK, so Justin cant see his targets, but he has an idea where he last saw them before the sleet storm knocked out the lights. So he will fire a fireball (Maximized, 15d6 dmg, plus Empowered via amulet (+50% or 7 dice rounded down) for a total of 22d6.) straight down the row he is on, about 40' down, (so centered on M19?) and hope it hits at least some of the ones who were there.

Fireball dmg: 22d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 1, 1, 3, 4, 2, 4, 5, 3, 5, 2, 2, 1, 1, 4, 1, 2, 6, 2, 5) + 6 = 70

Dang. That's just, depressing for 22 dice. :P

Alessia downs a mummy

fort save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Justin hurls the fireball into the howling maelstrom. there is a muffled explosion, but whether it had any effect is unknown

Merle will attempt to dispel the sleet storm

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

OK. So we need to do a bit of retcon. Merle’s dispel would hit before Justin’s fireball. As it happens, the mummies had moved, so I will give Justin a do over to consider what action he wants to take with his eyes ooen

The sleet vanishes, magically dispelled. The mummies have scattered, and there are two bouncing bright blue spheres headed towards Avrahim

New map

Um, Did you mean to give us your ROLL20 map link? Because it doesn't look like the same sceanrio, O_o

Huh. I have no clue how that happened

New Map

Round 3:

Mechanically turning to the next opponent, Alessia lets loose with another attack.

+2 keen furyborn bastard sword: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22
+2 keen furyborn bastard sword: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14 (+1 if first attack hits)

Damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 (+2 if first attack hits)

You've got to be kidding...

THANK you for the retcon due to timing:

As the magical storm dissipates, Justin, who was feeling his way around the column, calls out,

"Nice job Mer,... SHARDS AND SHELLS!" As the wizard realizes that he is but a few, short, feet away from one of the undead menaces that would like to use his head as a drum.

Keep movement of 5' step to M11

Justin raises his blasting rod, and the runes carved into it immediately glow with channeled energy.

"FUEGO! UROLOKE!" Justin shouts, channeling his will and casting one of his more powerful spells.

From the tip of his blasting rod, a ball of fire blossoms and forms the shape of a snakes' head, a very draconic-looking snakes head. The snake immediately takes off with a roar across the room, leaving a trail of fiery devastation in it's wake.

Lvl 5 spell, Fire Snake, 5' long per caster lvl, 60'max. Starts at square next to caster. IF I counted my squares right, (NOT gonna swear to it) it can start in square L11, move through the mummies at squares K12, J15, move to F20, E21 (already dead), and F22. (Moving around Alessia) Each critter in it's path takes 15D6 + 6 fire dmg.

Fire Dmg: 15d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 4, 5, 4, 4, 5, 4, 6, 4, 5, 3, 1, 3, 3, 1) + 6 = 64

Karrin gets chopping, attacking the Mummy closest to her first, then attacking the mummy attacking the other in range.

1st attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30
damage: 2d8 + 9 + 1d6d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) + 9 + (5, 2, 4) + (5, 1) = 36

haste: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27
damage: 2d8 + 9 + 1d6d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 9 + (1) + (6, 6) = 30

2nd attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
damage: 2d8 + 9 + 1d6d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) + 9 + (5, 5, 1) + (4, 5) = 36

3rd attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
damage: 2d8 + 9 + 1d6d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) + 9 + (1, 3, 6, 6, 1) + (3, 1) = 37

I posted this earlier but it disappeared somehow

Wait, what?!? hang on <revists map>

Dangit! Your right!~ (I need new glasses. AGAIN!) Please bypass the FRIENDLY inquisitor, same path but passes through the blue splash at L13, Then straight(?) diagonally (more or less?) until it reaches F20, then around Allessia. THANK YOU for pointing that out! ;P

Justin unleashes a bolt of dragon-headed flame. It shoots out, hitting the mummies in turn, but some sort of force field around each blunts the fiery energy. It ends up doing a lot less than Justin would hope for

Let's hear it for mobs buffing! :D OK, I have to think on what the mummies will do next

Make sure this is the path you wanted, Justin

One on Karrin and one on Alessia decide to retreat

Roll appropriate AoOs

Another magical howling sleet storm pops up, blinding the party again. The two frost spheres leap onto Avrahim and Justin, their icy brightness searing cold

Roll a DC 18 Reflex save Justin

The remaining on on Alessia strikes with its staff

atk1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 222d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 6) + 7 = 15
atk2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 102d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 3) + 7 = 11

The one on Sarastra does the same

atk1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 182d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 3) + 7 = 14
atk2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 242d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 3) + 7 = 12

Karrin, the one engaging you retreating will likely change your action - feel free to retcon. I'll finish this round up as soon as I get that info

New map, now with extra sleet!

As the mummy leaves the first threatened square Karrin takes a chop at him.
AoO: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37
damage: 2d8 + 9 + 1d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (7, 8) + 9 + (6) + (2, 4) = 36
Natural 20, rolling to confirm:
Crit!: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36
Additional crit damage: 4d8 ⇒ (1, 4, 3, 7) = 15
51 damage total

Thanks to her reach Karrin takes a second AoO as he flees the second square she threatens:
2nd AoO (if needed): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30
damage: 2d8 + 9 + 1d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) + 9 + (6) + (2, 1) = 26

As for the rest of Karrin's turn, she will focus all of her attacks on the last mummy within range that's threatening her friends.

according to the rules you can’t make two AoO on the same opponent in a round, even if you threaten multiple squares

Moving out of more than one square threatened by the same opponent in the same round doesn't count as more than one opportunity for that opponent.

Karrin gets in a telling blow with Ferissirion as the mummy facing her retreats into the storm. She whirls and deals the mummy on Sarastra a flurry of attacks, felling him

Sarastra looks at the sleet storm snd points a slender finger at it

“Begone”

DC17: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

The storm remains stubbornly in place. Sarastra pouts

The whirling magical mass remains in place

“FAAAAAAAAARKKKKK!!” Mel yells angrily

His mace attempts to strike within the maelstrom

NEW ROUND!!

Make sure this is the path you wanted, Justin

Yep, looks right to me! Thanks!

Fire snake IS an instantaneous spell, so no remaining 'wall of fire' effect after it does it's damage. I think of it as a line-of-effect-steerable- fireball. :)

Justin makes a face as his serpent of fire fails to obliterate the mummies it cascaded over.

"Yep. It was a protection from fire spell. Called it. MAN I hate being right all the time!"

As the sleet storm springs back into existence, Justin cries, "Oh, COME ON! We're not tomb-robbers, we JUST wanted a TOUR on the way through! DISPELLIAMUUS!!"

Justin points his blasting rod, and casts his own Dispel magic at the storm.

Dispel Magic vs DC:17= 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

"FINALLY! That was getting to be an ACK!" What was surely the beginning of a wonderfully verbose grump session ends abruptly as a floating frost-ball tries to engulf the wizard.

Reflex vs DC:18= 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

"Shazbot!"

Um, I must have missed the frost balls first appearance,... O_o They REALLY DID surprise Justin!

Justins cold damage: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 4) = 6

"Yeesh again with the ice storm."

Merle attempts to dispel again

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

"Yeesh again with the ice storm."

Merle attempts to dispel again

1d20+11

OK, Merle has the drop on Justin so Justin can retcon his dispel, or if he wants he can try to dispel the magic frost ball before it does any more damage to you (It's still coherent)

Avrahim dodges the bright ball of frosty fun and aims his crossbow at the mummy Martin fights

Gotta hold it there. Let's see Alessia's turn, then I'll get to the mummies

DM Info:

Also, Justin, whatever you do I'll need a Concentration check, as that frost ball hit you in RD 3, so it is messing with you this round

One on Karrin and one on Alessia decide to retreat

Roll appropriate AoOs

Dispel the Magic Frost ball. DISPEL THE MAGIC FROST BALL! ;)

So, same Dispel roll as above? Just need a Concentration check? or did I go before the frost ball last round? (Lil confused, sorry)

Make a concentration check. If successful, then the ball is dispelled

Alessia greviously wounds the mummy, the last unwounded one in the bunch

You still have your normal attack on the one still on you

New map

Concentration Check! 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33

I REALLY hope that worked! ;P

"OH that's c-c-cold! Merle! Can you D-d-dispel that Frost ball?!" Justin chatters as he points to teh other frosty sphere. The cold attack triggering a fresh set of shivers and chattering teeth from the mage. (Despite it's relatively minor damage.)

New round, new actions?

Dont rush me the mummies haven’t gone yet

Sorry! Justin waits. (Not 'patiently', cuz it's Justin. He has the attention span of a fruit fly and the hyperactivity of a kitten on speed.)

:)

The frost ball on Justin fades away, leaving him shivering and with some deep frostbite. There is yet ANOTHER howling storm brought up , the swirling sleet again hiding the majority of the mummies. The one on Martin attacks

1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 231d6 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 7 + (4) = 151d4 ⇒ 3

Martin staggers as the thing’s claws sink into him

Atk 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 192d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 5) + 7 = 17

The snowy maelstrom whirls on

Map tomorrow

,... There is yet ANOTHER howling storm brought up , the swirling sleet again hiding the majority of the mummies. ,...

The snowy maelstrom whirls on

Even though no one can see him, again, everyone is well aware when the mage throws his arms up in the air in frustration.

"Oh, COME ON!!"

Trying to use the pillar to block the worst of the storm, Justin shouts,

"THIS is getting us nowhere! We are going to run out of dispels long before it runs out of storm! We need to dispel or destroy the source! Memnon! Can you tell if that spook-wannbe on the platform is doing this? Or something else?"

"HOW are they finding us in this,... undead. Life sense? If that's how they find targets, then Alessia is invisible in this, and so is,..."

"Memnon! I don't think they can see you in this! Fly up and around, find the SOURCE of this *Pothac Karshoj storm-magic!"

Memnon is close enough to the mage to hear that he is growling almost as hard as the storm.

"Find me something to blow up!"

"FFFFFFFUUUUU........." Merle looking increasingly more furious.

Memnon looks at Justin

“Meatbag, I can tell you what the source is. You got a dozen spell-casting mooks fighting you! I ain’t going in there. They can see, I can’t. How they do it don’t matter. You’re just guessing they sense life. Don’t assume things, you’ll make an ass out of you”

The skull mutters to himself

“I oughta write a complaint letter to his university for passing him along. Must have had rich and influential parents ...”

Justin growls,
",... make a kickball outta you,... I HATE it when he's right. It makes his ego even bigger,..."

"And my parents weren't THAT rich."

With one hand lightly touching the pillar, and the other above to protect his head, (just in case) Justin kicks his long-lasting flight spell back into gear.

He rises up 40' into the air, then draws power from one of his two floating ioun stones and casts the dispel he'd stored in there when he first claimed it.

40 vertical movement, (max speed of overland flight) and cast Dispel magic:

1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

That will dispel it, but during rd 5. We have a few others to settle. When I get home I’ll do the NPCs and get a fresh map up

The one on Alessia whacks at her with his staff

Atk 1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
Atk 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

OK, just karrin left and on to Round 5

Updated map

Please note that I have left the storm visible since Justin will be dispelling this round. However, both Karrin, Alessia, and Merle will not be able to take advantage of that, so there is a 50% miss chance still

I will be gone for a few days, so post up RD 5 actions!

FOr round 5, Justin will stick to the dispel, UNLESS Merle dispels the storm instead, (since she goes before him) in which case he will take advantage of the lull to target and fireball as many of the frosty mummies as he can! :)

Safe travels! :)
