Crimson and Clover

Game Master The Roxtar

Looking into the "throne room", the guards and sycophants are mingling on the former blood pig field, some chatting, others loitering, but most have at least some of their attention turned towards the emperor.

The emperor himself is... occupied. A buxom woman is sitting on his lap, her face lifted to the sky with a look of elation plastered on her features as his hands greedily grope at her exposed chest.

The doctor waits for her companions to form up, then she steps out onto the dias and approaches the throne with weapon in hand.
"Pilts Swastel, we are placing you under citizen's arrest for crimes against the people of Old Korvosa. You will abdicate your assumed position and disperse this gang of ruffians. If you cooperate I will guarantee you a fair trial with an impartial judge and jury to adjudicate. If you refuse we are prepared to use whatever force is necessary to end your threat to the peaceful citizenry. Any here who chooses to help you resist will suffer whatever fate befals you. I have spoken. Make your choice."
Intimidation: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

The man in the throne jumps slightly at the biting words, but continues his obsessive fondling.

From below, the assembled crowd gives a roar of laughter and claps as they look upon the dias.

Tensei picks up on the movement almost immediately, and points down into the crowd. A hooded figure is slowly backing up towards the broken building. At being called out, the Emperor throws back his hood and gives a cackling laugh.

"Bravo girlie, bravo. That was a fine speech indeed, though I think mayhaps you have been bamboozled if you think there is anyone left to be 'fair' in this city. Violence is the only way people settle things any more. You scoffed at my little game, but it is no worse than anything else happening in poor, sad Korvosa right now. So fine. Let us settle this as the barbarians we all are. Heheh. Once the crows pick our bones clean, all that will be left is that b**ch of a queen, the maidens, and maybe a few other nasty surprises that you haven't even considered."

Many of the sycophants retreat to the edge of the field, but linger nearby to watch.

Pilts starts to speak words of encouragement to his assembled guards, bolstering them, before he points his walking stick at Hu and gives it a shake.

?: 1d100 ⇒ 29

The ground from Pilts all the way up and into the dais sprouts grass. The corners of his mouth turn down and he holds the rod up to his eye, examining it. "Lucky break."

Pink, Light blue, Orange, Purple, and Green all draw axes and stand ready to fight.

False Pilts hops to his feet and moves closer to the stairs, dragging the woman along with him, keeping her between you and him.

Jabbyr however, he takes a much more proactive approach, hefting his greataxe, giving a crazed howl, and then swinging at Hu.

Strike: 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 20 + 1 = 40 crit
Slashing: 2d6 + 11 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1) + 11 + 6 + 1 = 21

i applied the crit success on the intimidation to both the false pilts and the real one since you were directing your speech towards the false one, but called him out by name

Jabbyr’s eye flashes with a special kind of crazy as Hu tries to insult him.

you get the sense that no matter what you say, it will have little to no impact, so feel free to refund the hero point you spend on the demoralize

Blue also follows suit with the others and readies his weapon.

needed to edit this... originally was using the rod again but forgot that it was a once per fight type thing... and since i've already got the other rolls on here set up, will post his attack and damage at the end to not mess too much up

Pink and light blue more towards the stairs, holding their axes in combat position. Orange makes his was towards the edge of the dais, tosses his axe up, and attempts to climb after it. Pulling himself back upright, he collects the axe.

Athletics (climb): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Jabbyr howls in his rage at the transgressors in front of him.

Purple and green move back away from the group, but stand ready. The false Pilts gives his bare chested friend a shove toward Tensei before he picks up an axe hidden on the stairwell and moves closer to the fight. if Tensei has an aoo, this would provoke

Busty Blonde reaches out for Tensei to keep her balance, but misses and merely brushes up against the stout orc as she falls to the ground. she will count as difficult terrain if anyone were to try and move through her square.

Then repositions herself in flank with Faust across Jabbyr.

Tensei bashes the executioner with a solid strike, but the little man refuses to acknowledge the pain.

As Hu casts her spell, Jabbyr lashes out with his own weapon. The axe cuts deep, but Hu powers through it, healing herself and then setting up to aid her allies.

Behset, 2/88

The doctor strides and tells her adjacent allies, "Lay hands on me to receive healing!"

Then she casts a two action heal on Behset.
Healing: 4d8 + 32 ⇒ (6, 8, 2, 1) + 32 = 49

Faust will look at Hu and say, Thanks Doc! Faust will give the Doc a pat on the shoulder. Then Faust will look at Orange and attack

Bastard Sword Attack: 1d20 + 17 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 17 - 5 = 14

Hu sends some healing towards the flighty strix, bringing her back from the brink. Faust and Tensei absorb some healing energy from the magicks enveloping the good doctor before they strike out at some of the guards, with Tensei managing to knock the false emperor to the ground.

Red pulls back and swings his axe, alternating between Hu and Faust.

Behset will leer down at Pilts, silhouetted in the flames of her curse, and mutter an occult invocation of weakness before attempting to envelop him in flames. Khasia will stay long enough to watch him burn before fleeing back to Behset.

Behset
◆ Elemental Betrayal
◆◆ Fire Ray

fire: 8d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4, 6, 6, 3, 2, 4, 5) + 4 = 36

Khasia
◆ Stride

Behset focuses her energy and tries to blast a flaming chuck out of the emperor, but he is surprisingly light on his feet and shifts just enough to avoid the flames. no reaction, just flavor text here

and while he would technically be beyond the range of elemental betrayal (30ft) i'll give it to you anyway

Yellow, Pink, and Green all move beyond sight as they continue to flee.

Pilts begins to utter what sounds like gibberish, but the cadence is unsettling to those close to him. He then draws out another bolt, loads it, and fires the crossbow, this time at the doctor that just moved into his line of sight.

◆ Dirge of Doom all foes within 30ft are Frightened 1, no save. This will include everyone except Behset and Khasia

Slashing Damage: 2d12 + 12 ⇒ (9, 7) + 12 = 28

For the 3rd action Tensei will attack Orange if he is still up or move towards Pilts if Orange is down.

Hu distributes some much needed treatments and gets her team back into fighting condition.

Faust catches red by surprise with a feral growl, that sets the guard on edge. Landing a heavy hit immediately after that, red seems primed and ready to flee the field of battle.

Tensei tries to mimic Faust's growl, but it doesn't quite come out right and orange just laughs. Still in a rage, the big orc splits orange's skull, dropping him to the ground in a heap. He then stalks off towards the little Emperor.

Red does indeed turn on his heels and rushes towards the doorway.

produce flame: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18
fire: 4d4 + 5 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 2) + 5 = 11

added a teal zone on the field to show where the "roof" is for these destroyed buildings. the spot where Behset currently is, is open air.

Flames erupt as the oracle hurls a small ball of flame at the emperor, but misses by a wide margin.

The emperor chants and flicks his fingers, and his body starts to ripple, becoming hard to focus on. Blur, target gains concealment. Flat Check, DC5 to his with attacks or spells
Pilts then resumes his dreadful song, sending a shiver up everyones spine.
Dirge of Doom, frightened1 to all enemies within 30ft, no save

Purple, bow still in hands, changes targets to the mighty orc standing before him.

The doctor uses her final healing font on Tensei.
2 Acton heal: 4d8 + 32 ⇒ (7, 8, 5, 7) + 32 = 59

Then strides and jumps off the stage to land to the south of Pilts.
"Tensei! Over here! If he falls we can end this!"
Athletics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Faust will run down the stairs and up to Pilts and take a swing.

to hit: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26
fire: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 2) + 4 = 14

The doctor channels positive vibes from her god and floods the energy into Tensei, revitalizing him. Faust and the big barbarian make their way closer to Pilts, but the wily emperor deftly avoids taking a hit. Even the flighty strix launches a small ball of flame, that fails to connect.

Random: 1d3 ⇒ 3

The emperor raises his hands and drops his crossbow.

"Oh, no. You got me! Or at least, that's what you'd want me to say. Alas, the show must go on!"

Pilts then continues to chant. Like a flash, he reaches into his sleeves and pulls out a wickedly sharp looking razor, which he swings at Hu.

◆ Dirge of Doom
