GM XaveTheNerd's Circus of Wayward Wonders! - Extinction Curse (Inactive)

Game Master X Hums

Honey attempts her daze spell again. "I don't want to hurt you, bear, but this needs to stop."

Will DC 17

Honey also tries to analyze the situation and see if there is something specific that is causing the bear's rage.

Roll: 1d20 ⇒ 18
I'm not sure what would best apply, if anything. I'm thinking: Perception (+3) if there is anything in the wagon; or Medicine (+0) if it has some kind of wound; or Nature (+0) if it is afflicted by something. Or maybe it's just angry for being couped up in a wagon.

Hush focuses on the walls she created with her force of will and pushes against them, expanding their area. Sustain. Everyone within 15ft of Hush gets +1 AC

Hush's eye widen and she sticks her arms out, looking like she's balancing on something really slippery! She looks at the bear, grins comically, and kicks her leg at the bear, like a child kicking water out of a puddle. With a wet SPLOOSH the ground beneath the bear becomes slick and greasy!

Sustain. Then casting grease on the wagon's floor in the four spaces the bear is occupying. My spell DC is 17.

Crap, didn’t remember I was up. Been pretty out of sorts the last few days. I’ll post my action tomorrow morning before I go off to work.

P’oxtan keeps whaling on the bear with dubious accuracy.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Attack 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Attack 3: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

No worries! I've had a rough week myself.

Finn feints the bear, and as it moves off to the left, the bear moves itself into the knife and yowls in pain. As he goes to attack again, though, the bear continues to fall a bit from the feint and both the bear and the halfling stumble into the side of the wagon instead.

Will vs Daze: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 OOF!

Honey casts a spell at the bear, but the bear seems completely unaffected by the spell. Honey then tries to identify what's up with the bear. She can't determine much, other than that it seems to have been angered by something (or someone) else, and is lashing out at the Ringmasters specifically.

Ref vs Grease: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 Okay. Okay. What. No. Dice roller!

Hush coats the ground of the wagon in grease, but again the bear seems to completely ignore the effect.

P'oxtan throws not one, not two, but three individual claw attacks at the bear, but none of them manage to pierce the bear's hide. Had grease worked, though...

The bear then lashes out at Finn, as he was the last one to hurt it.

Claw against Finn AC 18: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 PLUS GRAB
Bite against Finn AC 18: 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 11 - 5 = 26 I'm going to kill this dice roller the same way this bear just killed Finn
Damage: 2d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 4 + 2 = 11*2 = 22

The bear rips a claw into Finn, lifting the halfling into the air before slamming down with a massive bite, instantly rendering the halfling riddled with holes and unconscious.

(Stating this both out of the spoiler and in it to avoid confusion:) Brief request from Honey for guidance if you can spare the actions after I get healed.

Since you asked so nicely...

Heal: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 2 actions

The sight of the gored halfling on the ground and the bloody raging bear looming over him overwhelms Honey's emotions and she begins to cry. "Bear, you need to stop hurting my friends. I won't have anything left for you. No one needs to die here."

She desperately looks around. "Where are the other troupe members? I saw them coming."

Honey casts heal followed by guidance on Finn. "Calistria protect him."

Hush purses his lips as she pushes her magical wall further outward. Everyone within 15 ft of Hush gets +1 AC. She eyes the bear. Over P'oxtan's shoulder, to the left of Finn's head, below the wagon's lintel... She doesn't have a good shot -- she knows she doesn't -- but Finn nearly died. She had to try.

Hush focuses on a nearby rock. She mimics throwing a rock at the bear, looks at the rock, points at the bear, and shakes in silent laughter. The rock flies through the air at the bear.

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
B Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 (Doubled to 10 (I hope!).

Honey heals Finn and gives him JUST enough divine help to get him free, and the halfling bravely, bravely runs away.

Hush picks up a rock with her mind and nails the bear straight in the temple, breaking the bear's hide with the blunt force alone! The bear's face quickly covers in blood.

Attack 3: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Man, I would love to hit once in a while...

Whif. Whif. Whif. P'oxtan's claws all narrowly avoid the bear.

Claw: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Grab.

And the bear retaliates by repeating what it did to Finn.

And just like that, I'm out of healing. This is a tough bear.

Heal: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Honey provides P'oxtan with the same aid that she just provided to Finn: heal followed by guidance.

"Hang in there."

Finn buries his tiny face in his just-as-tiny hands.

”Hey, P’oxtan, how about you not just stand there literally poking the angry bear?!”

The halfling then moves forward closer to the animal as he reaches for a throwing axe from in his bandolier.

”Hey! Over here you oversized teddy bear!” And he chucks the axe!

Axe vs Bear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Inspired by what he would like to do to the insolent halfling, P’oxtan lashes out and scores one, maybe two, decent hits on the bear.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Attack 2 w/ Guidance: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Attack 3: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Attack 2 Reroll: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Hush continues to focus on her magic wall, pushing it out further and granting all her allies +1 AC. Then she points at another nearby rock and sends it flying at the bear.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
B Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

”Or completely ignore me; that works too, I suppose.”

I, the player, am actually trying to convey some advice, P’oxtan, it’s just that Finn (the character) is snarky, so sorry if I got off on the wrong foot.

In character, P’oxtan is a stubborn wall of a lizard. Out of character, I posted while somewhat distracted at work, and didn’t notice my unconsciousness. My own fault.

Honey brings P'oxtan back to consciousness.

Finn throws an axe near the bear. He was off by a few feet by the time it got close.

P'oxtan lashes out with his claws again, trying desperately to kill the bear whose grip is tightening. Only one claw pierces the bears hide.

Hush continues her defensive measures, but misses with the rock this time around.

Maintain grapple vs Fort DC 17: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 Crit. P'oxtan is now restrained
Crunch vs P'oxtan AC 18-2+1: 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 5 = 15
Swipe vs P'oxtan AC 17: 1d20 + 11 - 8 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 8 = 5

The bear tightens its grip on P'oxtan, essentially pinning the lizard within a combination of jaws and claws.

”Oh…that’s not good!”

Seeing the iruxi pinned by the bear, Finn pulls out an axe and chucks it at the bear!

Axe vs Bear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Cursing under his breath, the halfling then pulls out a throwing knife.

It's acrobatics to try and escape, yes?

Hush sustains her magical barrier and pushes it out further, (all allies still get +1 AC). Then she points at a nearby beanbag and sends it flying at the bear's massive head.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

As it strikes she grasps her stomach and lets out a silent belly laugh.

Staff: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 2 = 20 Nonlethal attack
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Honey draws her staff and rushes up to fend the bear off P'oxtan. She smashes at its skull in an attempt to knock it out or draw its attention. "Let him go!"

1 action to draw weapon, 1 action to move, 1 action to attack.

Finn throws an axe near the bear yet again, he got a bit closer, but was still definitely off target.

Hush shoves a beanbag into the bear's throat, and the bear coughs in return.

Honey then takes her staff to the bear and

WHACK! THUD

Down goes the bear.

Out of initiative
Remaining battle scars: Finn -3hp Wounded 1; P'oxtan -9hp Wounded 1;

A hero point to everybody on that one! That got rough!

The other circus members gasp in horror until Honey's nonlethal attack brings the bear still. After which, Elizia walks forward and checks on the bear. "Okay. Still breathing. Foot's looking much better than last week. I...don't know what got into him. He lost his master a few months ago, but he's been pretty docile since."

Now what?

Honey addresses Elizia. "You know this bear? Does it have a name? I don't recall seeing it around. What happened to his master? It wouldn't happen to be the Great Fortunato, would it? Thunder had a cape of his in the wagon."

"And you say the bear's been docile? We wouldn't know it from this encounter. The four of us were nearly killed. I'm glad it will survive though. I didn't want to hurt it, but I had no choice. I'll try to make amends when it wakes up."

To her party, "Is everyone else okay? I have no more power to heal your wounds today so we'll need to proceed with caution. We should look in the wagon and see if something in there riled the bear up."

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Honey cautiously steps around the downed bear and enters the wagon to look around. Not with that roll...

"Anyone want to help me look? I'm still pretty shaken up from this encounter, I can't focus."

Finn lets out an exasperated sigh as the bear falls unconscious and lets the knife fall out of his grasp. ”Hey Millie? Can I see your first aid kit?” Because I’m a dipstick that forgot to get healer’s tools (and we have the same Medicine bonus).

Assuming Hush complies: Finn pulls out the bandages and starts fixing what few scratches the iruxi has left before moving on to his own. Meanwhile he walks over to the bear. ”Okay, let’s address the elephant in the room—or rather the bear in the wagon,” The halfling looks at Elizia, able to actually see eye-to-eye with her (literally) as she kneels down to check on the bear. ”WHY IS THERE A BEAR IN THE WAGON?!” Finn’s voice houses a combination of frustration and exhaustion.

Treat Wounds on P’oxtan: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Healing: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7

Treat Wounds on Finn: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 Dang it. Well, I’m not really melee anyway.

Exasperated, Finn picks up his thrown axes and knifes—and now knowing that there’s apparently random bears in wagons, he keeps a throwing knife in each hand as he searches through the wagon.

Secret roll; Perception +6

Nature: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Hush hands Finn her healer's tools. She contemplates the bear and its behaviour while Finn heals the others. After a while, she pulls out her spell book and studies it. Regaining her focus point.

"Packs of rats, unnatural snake attacks, and Bardolph goes berserk..." Hush remarks suddenly, then falls into silence. "If someone's controlling the animals they could be an animal trainer or a druid. Has the circus any enemies like that? Or Thunder?"

If no one's around she goes to find the Professor and ask him.

Finn and Honey are convinced there's nothing in this wagon aside from some smelly bear droppings.

The Professor emerges from the now growing crowd to answer Hush's question (and Finns, but he addresses the more civilized Hush)

"The bear is still around in the wagon because Thunder didn't want to get rid of it. Bardolph and The Great Fortunado were an important part of how we got started. I guess it was a sentimentality that kept the bear. But, he's well trained, and he's never attacked others before today."

---

From the southeast circle of wagons comes a small-but-disgruntled sound. "Fine I'll do it myself"

Suddenly, the sound of rustling leaves and plants assault the ears of the Circus of Wayward Wonders, sounding almost like a torrential rain in the morning sun. Hundreds of red-eyed rats scurry about the foliage in trees before conglomerating around a point that seems to be quickly approaching the Ringmasters. The rats surround a halfling woman wearing a headdress in the shape of a rat's head, it's open mouth framing her face.

"Isn't this a pretty sight," she cackles, twisting her grip on a gnarled staff. "I had hoped to murder more of you while the whole town was watching. That would have frightened them away from here for good! But a bigger slaughter might be even better; the foolish farmers and poisoners of Abberton will discover your rat-chewed corpses. No one will know how it happened, but everyone will whisper that nature is finally taking its revenge. And it is, through me! I'll wager most of the town will be gone in a week, and the rest will fall easily. Then, perhaps, the land can heal from the cancer known as Abberton."

She doesn't make any hostile moves, but I will remind you that you cannot personally do anything hostile (including drawing weapons or casting spells) without also being in initiative. She's willing to talk for a moment, it seems.

Also, map updated. Picture included in the slides.

Finn listens to the old crone’s evil monologue and the gears in his head start turning.

Sunova...!

Finn Steps out from the bear’s wagon in a professional-looking pose with his hands behind his back—more to conceal the throwing knives he already had in hand I said that I was searching the wagon with them already in hand!. He is slightly caught off-guard when he sees the woman is a halfling, but he slowly moves forward toward the old hag.

”What are you talking about? ‘Poisoners’? We’re simple circus folk. We work with animals ourselves. We didn’t do anything to you, Miss...eh...whoever-you-are. Sorry, I didn’t catch a name.”

Finn tries to speak rationally in an attempt to goad her into monologuing more, when in truth he plans on chucking one of his daggers right at her once he gets close enough. Admittedly, this is my attempt to roll Deception for Initiative.

Deception (if needed): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 Well would ya look at that. Any chance I could use THAT for my Initiative roll (he says, semi-jokingly)?

Hush examines the woman, curious if her appearance provides any clues to her identity or affiliations.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Honey does not restrain her rage at this druid. "Murderer! I will never forgive you for Thunder's death. You come here sowing discord and then deign to preach. I don't know what Abberton may or may not have done but your threats end now! It doesn't look like you came to surrender, and that's good because I'm raring to smash your face in."

"Murderer!? Me!? Can't be worse than what this town has done to the nearby forests." the halfling shouts back. "The lot of you are all poisoners! The town, your little 'circus', even the traders who come from afar. You're poisoning the ground and killing everything with your very existence! I plan to put a stop to it, but to do that, I'll need a bit of a show myself."

"Vermin! To the 'Honey Wasp' first."

I’m assuming that means I rolled Deception for Initiative.

Well, there goes that idea.

Feeling a spring in his step, Finn rushes forward, knives in hand, as he stops next to the massive swarm of rats.

”Not today you rat-faced witch!”

With a flick of his wrist, Finn chucks a knife at the nasty hag...

Throwing Knife vs Nemmia: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Damage; panache: 1d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5

...Then he turns around and chucks his other one at the giant rat that is doing a pretty bad job of hiding in the woods!

Knife vs giant rat; 2nd, agile, 2nd range increment: 1d20 + 7 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 - 4 - 2 = 15

P'oxtan carefully studies the halfling before approaching. [A] Hunt Prey - Nemmia. [AA] Stride twice.

Finn moves forward, avoiding Nemmia entirely, but sinking a knife directly into the giant rat.

"You're all the same! The crops of the area are dying because of you bafoons!" she shouts as lightning begins arcing throughout her gnarled staff. "You always think nature rebelling is a personal attack!"

ZAP!

Attack Finn: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

And the lightning strikes directly between Finn's feet.

The rat swarm follows its last orders and approaches Honey Wasp before all biting at her ankles.

Feeling a little woozy from the rats bites, she draws and drinks her minor healing potion. She immediately feels improved.

"What poison? Look around! The crops, the trees, Hells even the grass. It's all dying!"

Finn throws an axe at Nemmia, lodging an axe deep into her left shoulder.

P'oxtan steps up and misses twice.

"Just die the spectacles you always wanted to be!" shouts the halfling as her staff again crackles with electricity.

Attack against P'oxtan AC 18: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

”Wha...?”

Finn looks around at the area around him in response to the woman’s rants.

[[A]] Recall Knowledge/Seek/whatever seems appropriate to corroborate or disprove what she’s saying. Nature of +1. I’m aware that it’s not the most tactically sound thing, but it’s what Finn would do.

Finn dances around the hag, gripping the bowling pin in his hand tightly.

The halfling then rushes towards Honey. "You're surprisingly resilient!" she cackles at Honey. "You should have died when I blew you off your feet earlier!"

Metaphorical gears start turning in the halfling’s head as he points to the rat-lady. ”Wait...You were the one who...? Oh, you shouldn’t have said that to the Calistrian.”

Finn softly tosses the bowling pin in the air to test its balance as he looks at the coot with a raised eyebrow and a smirk on his face. Almost as if in a dance, the halfling does two full spins before letting the juggling pin leave his hand, the momentum sending it spinning straight at the old crone!

Confident Finisher!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Nonlethal Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (6, 6) = 14

"Be careful, P'oxtan. I have no healing magic remaining. You aren't looking so good after that shock."

"You're surprisingly resilient!" she cackles at Honey.

"That's right. I am resilient!" she says proudly. "It will take more than the likes of you to take me down. Now let's see resist this!"

Produce Flame: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Honey produces a baseball sized flame and pitches it into the witch's face.

Hush moves closer so the wagon's edge doesn't get in her way. She raises a hand, levitating a dead rat up into the air, then sends the rat corpse flying at the halfling's face.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
B Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Noting how much the halfling loved to TALK, Hush sighs. "You did all this on your own? Doubtful. I bet you're taking all the credit from someone else..."

It was an obvious ploy, but maybe the halfling was so lost in the moment she'd admit to working alone or in concert with others.

Maybe.

P'oxtan speeds by, scratching at the halfling's side as he passes.

Finn lands a good bonk on the halfling.

Honey throws fire at the halfling, who burns for a moment.

But hush misses with the dead rat.

Finn looks around after the halfling's words, but he doesn't know about trees to see that she's telling the truth in the heat of combat.

Nemmia stumbles a bit before cackling. "You fools will make a fine spectacle!"

Lightning bursts from the ground and arcs skyward, connecting Honey and P'oxtan for a moment.

Honey ref: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
P'oxtan ref: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

As she sees P'oxtan drop, she cackles in glee. "We of the Hermitage work in tandem! Your little circus was all me, but the other problems plaguing town? Some of those are true works of art!" she says as she limps forward, putting her back onto a cart as she surveys her damage. "Is all this blood mine?"

Finn yelps as the iruxi falls and shouts at the top of his lungs while pointing at his unconscious comrade:

”Someone help him!!!”

He does so less as a legitimate suggestion (though the suggestion is still there), and more to draw people’s attention toward P’oxtan and away from Finn.

Create a Distraction vs Perception DC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 Eh...there’s a chance, but it’s unlikely. The roll’s too high to risk actually using a Hero Point. I’m guessing her Perception is around +10.

"Where do you think you are going?! I want to hear more about this Hermitage."

Honey follows the halfling around the corner and wacks her over the head with her staff. Smack!

Hush moves over to P'oxtan, pulls out her healing potion, and feeds it to him.

Healing P'oxtan: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Finn yelps unsuccessfully as the halflings eyes stay laser locked on Honey Wasp. He then fails to throw a juggling club at her.

Honey rushes over to the halfling, staff in hand and knocks Nemmia to the ground with a solid whack. She continues beating until Nemmia's body stops moving. Hooray for non-lethal!

Well.....now what?
