Rise of the Wicked (Inactive)

Game Master DireMerc

I suppose we won't do any dogs shenanigans? Or flanking...

Slid breathes deep and gets his crossbow ready for the fight.

Release our hounds. Sick them on the guards to the left of blackerly. Stanislav can handle animals if needed. He reaches up and puts a hand on Grumble's shoulder. The only way we get to leave my large friend is through those guards there. Follow the dogs in and attack with them. I will be with you.

Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Stanislav will come out one handing his pole arm and using his shield to try to avoid missile fire. He will drop the shield at the end of his move and attack.

Arielle readies her crossbow.

Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Vinnick sends the dogs out to draw fire for their group to advance.

He then makes room to allow others and grumble to pass by before pulling off another scroll from the cloak.

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Cori waits for the hounds to close about half the distance, then hurls her vial of alchemist fire at Blackerly.

Ranged Attack, Splash Weapon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Attack Blackerly: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Damage+sneak: 1d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + (6) = 8

First round action for Arielle will be to move if needed to get a clear shot at Blackerly and then fire her crossbow at him.

"If we take out Blackerly first, the other may flee.

ranged attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
damage: 1d10 ⇒ 4

Looks like Google messed up the viewing webpage, at least the download option now works for me to obtain the map.

Seems everyone has forgotten the live guard at the door blocking us from easily moving out.

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Being at the back of the group, she simply follows, and pokes the guard with her scimitar, Want to live. Move out without weapon, or get crushed by the big guy.

Intimidate: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18

Round 2 Start.
Will update map shortly.

15 misses even a flat footed Blackerly?

Breastplate give 6 armor

XD

Stanislav moves into melee with a guard so that any others approaching will provoke from his reach. He power attacks.

mw glaive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d10 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 3 = 15

”So much for Plans A, B, and C...” Cori mutters to herself. ”Time to fight, I guess.”

She draws her sword and closes the distance into the fray, swinging at the nearest available target.

Melee Attack, two-handed: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Only stan and cori so far need a post from everyone before I do guards again. Grumble will double move up to the closest guard on his round.

We are missing Slid's actions, to be able to continue.

GM is staying he needs your post too R'y. Everyone but Stanislav and Cori. Please can everyone post? We seem to be loosing momentum.

Sorry. In my head I was waiting for everyone else.

Slid moves along with Cori and Stanislav. He keeps his distance and fires another bolt at the captain.

Shoot hand crossbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

R'yzzntyg and Vinnick Haven't acted yet this round.

the remaining dog bites at the guard.

dogbite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

then vinnick moves up to the doorway and pulls out one of his personal scrolls. As he utters an arcane syllable the scroll turns to a misty icy orb that launches itself at blackerly standing in the back.

snowball: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17 vs touch
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 5 cold damage and he needs to Fort save DC 12 or be staggered for one round

She moves forward to be in between Grumble, Stan and Slid, using the three of them as concealment objects from the archers on the wall. She observes to see if she needs to cast healing, or bring forth concealing mist.

Black fort save vs snowball: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

So ROUND 2...Finally lol

Slid
Slid moves into a position with line of sight and fire a shot from his hand crossbow at the captain. A hit in the shoulder, the captain grimaces in pain but still seems fighting fit.

Guards
The two guards at the front attack the dog and then take 5'step back.
guard 1 on dog: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 121d10 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
guard 2 on dog: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 101d10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

The other two attack Stannis
guard 1 on dog: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 221d10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
guard 2 on dog: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 101d10 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Two crossbowmen fire at Grumble and one at Stannis and another at Cid.
crossbow guard 1 on Grumble: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 141d8 ⇒ 1
crossbow guard 2 on Grumble: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 91d8 ⇒ 1

crossbow guard 3 on Stannis: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 201d8 ⇒ 6
crossbow guard 4 on Cid: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 81d8 ⇒ 1

Hurt blackerly runs back into the Gardhouse hiding behind the door.

The dogs come out and attack stannis and Cid
bite stannis: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 181d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
bite stannis: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 121d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Round 3 Begins. You may all post in any order I will sort it out after. I will also update the map as soon as I can and double review make sure I didn't miss anything.

Hopefully I'm not there because you forgot, not because I got thrown to another dimension.

Afraid to get into danger's reach, Slid reloads his hand crossbow and fires again at the captain.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Confused. You said "The other two attack Stannis " but then the attacks are on dogs?? If two guards approach Stanis the first provokes. Also you attacked Stannis 5 times in all that. Even if I hit the first guard I may be down. Can we clarify some of that? Crossbow attacks shoudl be at -4 firing into melee, right? Stanis is a reach fighter and is all about the provoke.

AOO on first guard: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 141d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

A shoot your right I was doing a lot of copy pasting dice rolls to save a bit of typing and forgot to change the names after the attacks on the dog it should say guard 3 and 4 attack stannis and then the bites should say stannis and cid.

Stannis was attacked by 2 guards and then one crossbow and then a dog.

The first guard hit Stannis for 9 damage (a crit that did not confirm)
Then the crossbow shot which indeed would be at a -4 so a total of 16 ac to hit. If this hits (I think it does? I believe Stannis is down)

The the dogs would both attack Cid instead.

But that first guard drew an AOO. Did a 14 hit? and if so did 10 points take him down?

But that first guard drew an AOO. Did a 14 hit? and if so did 10 points take him down? And uyep - if both hit then he is down, but I see an 18 on the die roll for the crossbow, making the shot a 14 and not a 16. Am I looking at it wrong?

The the dogs would both attack Cid instead.

Who's Cid?

Cid is Slid. As both are close sounding, especially for non-native English person.

Slid check your action. Mr Blackerly has concealment by hiding behind the door of the guardhouse.

Just want to verify Stan's status, before doing my action of either healing Stan, or bring forth mist as Stan's AOOs will have no effect if he is down.

Thanks for the clarification. My action was based on the fact that I didn't realize that he was concealed. In that case, I'd like to change my shot to the most wounded guard. I admit I'm not keeping track of the guards. It would help if the GM would identify the guards and their current health status, such as full/a little hurt/somewhat hurt/very much hurt/nearly dead, or something of the sort.

@Slid I will try to incorporate health bars for the guards and sorry for getting your name wrong.

@Stannis Nearly all of the damage so far has been on Blackerly the only exception so far has been a single bite by a dog on guard 1. Every other attack missed so far. The guards have ac 16.

Crossbow shot is a roll of 18 + 2 - 4 for a total of 16.

Added health bars to the guards updated map.

Correction for map, R'yzzntyg in previous round moved up 5' to be behind Stan, with Grumble and Slid flanking her side.

AOO action
When the dogs come to attack Stan and Slid, the one for Stan come close enough for her to strike out at the dog with her scimitar.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (2) + 0 = 2

The swing misses the agile moving dog.

Seeing Stan getting hit, she casts some healing magic and reaches out to touch his back.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Stanislav drops his weapon and crumples to the ground. Before R'yzzntyg's spell

Cori moves up behind R'yzz as she goes to attend Stanislav, drawing her bow as she moves.

She raises her bow and fires directly at the guard in front of Stan's crumpled body, hoping to kill him before he can cause more harm.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 3 - 4 = 8

The summoned dog bites at the wounded guard again.

bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Vinnick, Seeing Stan fall curses and then runs up behind the man and pulls out a scroll, he holds it up towards the guards and dogs and lets a burst of lights and colors erupt from the scroll as it burns to ash.

Scroll of color spray, DC 12 will save. angle it to go between stand and slid so it hits both dogs and one guard. (and so it does not hit Stan or Slid) I can't move my piece either.

Is someone running our ogre? Feels like we need him.

@Stannis Yeah I am he just goes last on Init.

Guard 4 colour spray: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
dog 1 colour spray: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
dog 2 4 colour spray: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

The spray proves very effective taking the guard and a dog out of action for a while.
guard unconscious for: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3 rounds
dog unconscious for: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3 rounds

Grumble on his round takes a swing at the closest guard (guard 2)
grumble punch: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 271d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

A strong blow that nearly took the guard out but he is still standing, just barely.

The guards that remain in the courtyard all try to run provoking attacks from the dog and grumble.
attack bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
grumble punch: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 231d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

The wounded guard dies but the other escapes.

The remaining dog bites at Vinnick.
attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 121d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

The crossbow men decide to focus their fire on grumble after seeing him splatter a guard.
crossbowguard1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 131d8 ⇒ 1
crossbowguard2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 141d8 ⇒ 5
crossbowguard3: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 171d8 ⇒ 8
crossbowguard4: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 101d8 ⇒ 5

On hit for 8 damage on Grumple.

You can all go again. Map updated.

From prone Stanislav retries and drinks a potion of Cure Light. [b]Get to the gate house.[b] he advises.

Cure Light: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Taking potion, you should be at max hit points now, in addition to R'yzzntyg's cure light wounds, 8 + 6 = 14

No. He was at -3 before your healing if I did the math right. So he is at 11 of 12. not bad.

Slid drops his crossbow, pulls out the rapier and dagger at the same time and attacks the dog next to him, while taking a side step.

Rapier: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
Dagger: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Cori pushes past the injured guard, and out of the door, past Grumblejack to his left (moving to the square to Ogre's left, just outside the door).

She nocks another arrow and fires at the fleeing guard.

Ranged Attack, bow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

She moves up to the left side of the fountain's centre piece, and casts her obscuring mist engulfing the area in thick mist that stretches out 20 feet from her and rises 20 feet into the night sky.

doggo bites at the remaining guard.

bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Vinnick tries to make sure he is in the mist, before going fully defensive with his sword as he pulls another random scroll from the cloak the undead gave them.
standard for total defense (AC: 17 now), 5ft into mist if need be, and move action to pull a scroll from the cloak.

Cori manages to drop the fleeing guard as he stopped to open the side door into the keep.

The dog bites the guard at the gatehouse entrance.

Vinnick pulls out and arcane scroll of protection from law.

Grumble goes over and punches the remaining guard dog taking it out of commission.
grumble punch: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 141d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

The guard at the door stabs at the dog with his halbert killing it, it vanishes into a puff of smoke.
attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 171d10 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

The crossbowmen decide to focus their fire on the ogre targeting Grumble with all their shots.
crossbowguard1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 51d8 ⇒ 2
crossbowguard2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 161d8 ⇒ 3
crossbowguard3: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 181d8 ⇒ 4
crossbowguard4: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 161d8 ⇒ 4

Blackerly moves further into the gatehouse quickly drinking a potion to heal his wounds.

Arielle who had been hanging back decides the previously capture guard is no longer useful and knocks him out with a blow to the head. She then moves out into the courtyard.

Your go again.

*note that the parts visible inside the gatehouse are the first floor and the doors to enter the gatehouse from the wall are on the second floor of the gatehouse.

There is mist up in the area before the guards can do their actions. It is 20 feet high, and 20 feet radius centred on R'yzzntyg. Grumble is well inside the mist to be shielded by the mist.

A misty vapor arises around you. It is stationary. The vapor obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature 5 feet away has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker cannot use sight to locate the target).

*update map to include radious of fog, crossbowmen will simply bindly fire into the fog at the last known location of grumble instead.

Cori moves in the direction of the gatehouse doors, another arrow nocked and ready.

If she sees someone she can clearly identify as a guard or Blackerly, she shoots.

Stanislav stands in the mist and retrieves his weapon before taking a step forward, determination on his face.

Slid gets down, picks up his hand crossbow and stores it back and moves next to Stanislav, rapier and dagger in hand, and says "I've never been one to enjoy fighting, but I guess you lot make it less of a hassle."

Pick up and stow away crossbow makes up a round, I think
