Wrath of the Righteous for Paladins (Inactive)

Game Master trawets71

It is unholy blight. If you fail the save you are sickened for 1d4 ⇒ 1 rounds

Will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
7 damage -10 from corruption resistance, so no damage taken

Running through the blight, Dadna went from cover to cover. There was only so much that the traitors could do to stop their advance. In the end, she knew in her heart that they would not be halted.

Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Ardriel feels sick from the strange darkness, but he advances forward, clearing it and moving to more cover.

Double move.

Agna moves up, remaining to the far left. She feels the effects of the spell which causes her to miss a few steps as she tries to adjust and keep moving onward.

WILL: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

The demoness finishes her concentration but nothing happens. The cleric again grabs his holy symbol and a multicolored explosion of leaping, ricocheting energy envelops the party. Seeing how slow the party is moving the tiefling lifts a crossbow and fires it at Leothar hitting him.

Demoness: 1d100 ⇒ 80

Chaos Hammer DC 18: 3d8 ⇒ (2, 2, 3) = 7 save for half and not slowed for slow: 1d4 ⇒ 1 rounds

Crossbow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6
Crossbow Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Round 2
Party up
don't forget to mark your damage from the unholy blight and chaos hammer

Will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
Save passed, corruption resistance reduces damage to 0

Once more, the enemy's power washed over Dadna without any noticeable effect. She burst out of cover, and rushed across the open plaza, sliding to a halt near a broken wall. Weapon in hand, she was finally close enough to close into melee with the enemy...

Corruption resistance does not affect chaos hammer as it is your lawful aspect not good aspect

Ah, so you are right! It's choose *one* alignment type. Sorry about that. In that case, 3 damage taken

will: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

Again, feeling the effect of the cloying miasma of greasy darkness, Ian realizes he's bleeding from his nose. Wiping his nose off as he trudges even further behind Leothar. KNowing he'd need to be able to fight when he arrived, Ian Lay's hands on himself as he moves forwards.

double move, slowed, Loh
Loh: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 6) = 11

Will, sickened: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 2 = 9

Ardriel feels the sickness fade from him just in time to feel slowed by the swirling miasma of colors that blasts him. Still, he focuses enough to fire off an arrow at the cleric from his cover, although his motions feel as though he's moving through molasses.

Attack, Slowed: 1d20 + 11 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 1 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Will, vs SLA: 1d20 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 3 = 28

Leothar resists the magical assault. 3 damage, plus 6 from the crossbow, so now at 16 damage taken.

He charges his target (Green), smashing him with Radiance, then uses Fleet Charge to attack again and fall back.

Charge Attack vs Green, Smite, PA: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 7 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 7 + 9 = 28
Fleet Charge Attack, Smite, PA, Tier: 1d20 + 14 + 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 14 + 2 - 2 + 2 = 31
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 7 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 7 + 9 = 32

Leothar will charge to the square E of Green, hit him, and then Fleet Charge back next to Dadna. If the first hit drops Green, the as a non-action Leothar will switch his Smite target to Purple and hit him with the Fleet Charge attack.
If it takes two hits to drop Green, then Leothar will still switch his Smite target to Purple, but Purple will get an AOO on Leothar as he moves away (AC 20 due to Charge and Smite).

Mythic Power at 6/7.

Agna grits her teeth and continues to chug forward.

Leothar charges in and kills one of the guards and manages to avoid the attack of the dead guard on the way in but this companion next to him seems to have Leothar locked in and gets two nasty slices into him, one as he approaches and one as he leaves. Ardriel's arrow is off the mark and the others move into postion.

The demoness seems to watch Leothar closely while the priest grabs his holy symbol and prays. The tiefling takes another shot at Leothar. The tiefling moves behind one of the benches and seems to disappear into the shadows.

Green Longsword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Purple Longsword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30 Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Purple Longsword AoO: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 .

Damage: 2d10 + 26 ⇒ (2, 10) + 26 = 38
Evil Outsider Bane: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 = 10

Finally in range of the foe, Dadna burst out of cover and went straight for the southern flank. Her chain lashed out, going low, as she sought to get under the enemy's shield and to pulverize his shins.

Seeing the combat start Ian redoubles his effort to get there quickly.

Double move

I am not sure how Purple got an AOO on me as I approached. You don't provoke for entering a threatened square, only for leaving one. I get that both Purple and Green had Readied Attacks, and that Purple got an AOO as I was leaving.
Did he have Combat Patrol or something so that he covered a larger threatened area?
And I'm also not sure how he took that last shot at me after I was out of reach.
Wondering how much damage I took. Looks like either 24 or 48, and I had 16 damage before from the spells.

Leothar heals his wounds. LoH: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 1) = 9 swift
Then he draws and drinks a potion. Potion CSW: 3d8 + 5 ⇒ (8, 1, 7) + 5 = 21

Sorry Leothar, the text was closest to being right. There was a readied attack and a AoO from purple. I was rushing and purple's attacks got doubled. These are the hardest combats for me to run as they are not in the AP and I am doing things on the fly and take up more time. There was no crossbow from the tiefling either, he just moved. Making the duplicate attacks the crits would mean they were normal hits and didn't confirm. You took 25 this round.

Dadna you used your surge to hit. Damaged but not down.

Okay, no worries. Thanks for the clarification. Leothar took 25 damage, and had 16 before from the spells. Then healed 30. He is at 71/82.

Agna keeps moving forward, but decides to stop while there is still some cover to be had rather than sprinting up into oncoming attacks.

Ardriel shakes off the slowing affect, and shouts at the priest, "Surrender and repent, for you will not find victory here!" Divine power seems to glow from him as he does so, and he takes careful aim at the cleric.

Smite Evil on the Cleric.

Attack 1, Smite Evil: 1d20 + 11 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 11 + 3 = 22
Damage, Smite Evil: 1d8 + 2 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 7 = 17

Attack 2, Smite Evil: 1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 3 = 24
Damage, Smite Evil: 1d8 + 2 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 7 = 17

Dadna moves up and strikes the guard but doesn't drop him. Ardriel manages to put two arrows into the cleric. The rest of the party moves up.

The demoness points to one of the guards and the spot she wants him in and he moves. The rest of the guards take a step to reposition themselves. One attacks Dadna. The cleric cures some of her wounds. A shot comes from behind one of the benches toward Leothar.

Purple Longsword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
CSW: 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (8, 1, 1) + 7 = 17

Finally getting close enough to get in on the action, Ian, hoping to Rally his allies and open a hole in the enemies defenses, charges the Purple Guard. Lifting his longsword he calls out "For Iomedae!" Chopping at the armored man with his weapon as he expends some of his mythic power to rally his friends.

Charge, AC 24 Attack + 1 longsword, WF, MPA
longsword: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 28 for damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 + 6 = 15
For you all
Focus: Whenever a mythic ally that is within 30 feet uses the surge ability, it rolls its bonus die twice and takes the higher result.
Rally: As a swift action, you can expend one use of mythic power to rally your allies. This gives you and each of your allies within 30 feet the option to reroll any one d20 roll after the roll is made. The granted reroll must be used before the beginning of your next turn, and the creature must take the result of the reroll, even if it is lower.

Leothar starts moving up, and then is hit by a spell.

Will DC 23, vs SLA: 1d20 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 3 = 15
He sits down on the ground.

With a good base Will save (+5), +1 Wisdom, +2 Cha, and +3 dwarf he had only a 50/50 chance of passing. As it is, too far below the DC to use Mythic Power.

Ian used a mythic point for Rally, you can reroll

Will reroll: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Mythic Power 2 of 7 for Surge!: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Between Ian's inspiration and his own mythic power, Leothar throws off the spell!

He completes his move and attacks.
If Ian dropped Purple with his attack, then Leothar will switch his Smite to Blue as a non-action and attack Blue. Otherwise this goes against Purple.

Attack, Smite, PA: 1d20 + 14 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 14 + 2 - 2 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 7 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 7 + 9 = 32

Ardriel continues firing at the cleric, trying to bring her down.

Attack 1, Smite Evil: 1d20 + 11 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 3 = 31
Damage, Smite: 1d8 + 2 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 7 = 10
Attack 2, Smite Evil: 1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 3 = 12
Damage, Smite: 1d8 + 2 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 7 = 10

Agna steps out from her cover, advances slightly and attacks.

5' step and full attack on Purple

Power Attack (Reach) #1: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 1 - 2 = 12

Damage: 1d12 + 6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 6 + 1 = 20

Power Attack (Reach) #2: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 - 2 = 9

Damage: 1d12 + 6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 6 + 1 = 20

I have returned!

Hit purple, add 2 if evil outsider: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
Damage: 2d10 + 26 ⇒ (8, 4) + 26 = 38
Evil Outsider Bane: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 = 8

Slow and steady. That was the way Dadna planned to win this. She kept up her attacks, looking to land another well placed hit against the traitor who stood against her.

Ian charges into the melee and drops one of the guards. Leothar moves up and hits another of the guards.Dadna lengthens the reach on her weapon and drops a guard. Ardriel fires at the cleric and hits him again.

Agna your opponent was dead when you attacked and I didn't know what you would do so you have a turn here before the act and one after with everyone else. I will take their turn to keep things moving but modify as necessary.

The guards move in on Leothar and attack him, both slicing into him. The tiefling ducks behind the bench. The cleric casts a spell.

Orange Longsword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22 Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Yellow Longsword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Tiefling: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Seeing the first line of the enemy's defense fall, Ian watches as the enemy moves forward. Now close enough to the enemy for his defenses to be functional, Ian calls on his holy shield. As he begins to shine like a beacon he tells his allies, "Stay close and my Sacred Shield will protect you." As the others attack the enemy, he tells Leothar, "Chief, I will try and move with you, If we can all stay together my shield will protect you."

Holy shield, will delay move action 30 ft or less, whatever direction Leothar is going.

For you all
Holy Shield + 3 AC shield bonus: 1st of 6 rds All allies adjacent to the paladin gain a shield bonus equal to the sacred shield’s own shield bonus. This bonus does not stack with any existing shield bonuses. The paladin herself radiates light as a light spell while the shielding is active.

Hit orange add 2 if evil outsider: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Surge if needed: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7 24 if the above would miss
Damage: 2d10 + 26 ⇒ (5, 1) + 26 = 32
Evil Outsider Bane: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 6) + 4 = 12

Keeping her dorn-dergar moving, Dadna kept up her attack. Each blow as deliberate, both to do as much damage as possible, and to avoid accidently hitting an ally.

Ardriel continues loosing arrows at the cleric, trying to bring him down.

Attack 1, Smite Evil: 1d20 + 11 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 3 = 31
Damage, Smite Evil: 1d8 + 2 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 7 = 10

Attack 2, Smite Evil: 1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 3 = 29

Critical Damage, Smite Evil: 2d8 + 4 + 14 ⇒ (1, 5) + 4 + 14 = 24

"Thank you, Ian!"

Leothar once again heals himself, then goes back on the attack.
LoH 2 of 5: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 4) = 13 Now at 57/82.

Redirect Smite to Orange as a non-action.

Attack vs Orange, Smite, PA, Divine Favor (forgot it before): 1d20 + 14 + 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 2 - 2 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 7 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 7 + 9 + 1 = 27

Iterative: 1d20 + 9 + 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 2 - 2 + 1 = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 7 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 7 + 9 + 1 = 27

He will then 5' step back to avoid getting flanked.

These go against Orange; if it is dropped due to Dadna's attack or due to the first swing, then transfer Smite to Yellow and attack him before stepping back.

Alright, Agna moved only 5', so she'll take a move action instead and make an attack as indicated on the map. Then a full attack against the same target this round.

Power Attack (Reach, Prior Round): 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 11 + 1 - 2 = 23

Damage: 1d12 + 6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 6 + 1 = 22

Power Attack (Reach) #1: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 11 + 1 - 2 = 30

Power Attack (Reach) #2: 11d20 + 6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 1 - 2 = 23

Damage: 1d12 + 6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 6 + 1 = 17

Agna moves up and with three quick swings drops the fighter. Dadna moves in and hits the fighter hard but he still stands. Ardriel fires at the cleric and his second arrow goes into his eye and the cleric drops to the ground. Leothar finishes off the one guard and slices the other.

The demoness doesn't look happy at all the dead bodies around her. She then smiles seductively and looks at Leothar and says "Why don't you prostrate yourself and thank your god for your still being alive" DC 21 Will save She then flies to the north. The last guard swings at Leothar and hits him and takes a step back.

Yellow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30 Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Leothar again shakes off the demon's enchantment.
"Somebody shut her up," he mutters.

Attack vs Yellow, Smite, PA, Divine Favor: 1d20 + 14 + 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 14 + 2 - 2 + 1 = 30

Turing towards the demoness, Ian watches her fly off. Moving forward with Leothar, he comments. "Can't just yet chief, but we'll get her." As he lifts his shield and thrusts his longsword underneath at the the yellow Guards groin.

Move action 10 ft, Attack + 1 longsword, WF, MPA
longsword: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 13 for damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 + 6 = 13

How high up is she?

Just off the ground

Hit, add 2 if evil outsider: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Surge from weapon if that misses: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2 20 if a 19 misses, please tell me if I need to tick off a point
Damage: 2d10 + 26 ⇒ (10, 7) + 26 = 43
Evil Outsider Bane: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 5) + 4 = 10

Dadna didn't say anything, as she moved to add her weapon to the cause of bringing down the last of the cult's front line.

Since she doesn't expect the last of the guards to remain upright for any length of time so she bypasses him to move in on the demon.

Double Move.

Ardriel moves forward, closer to the demon, and shouts, "You will pay for your crimes against this world!"

Move action, swift action to Smite Evil on the Demon.

Attack, Smite Evil: 1d20 + 11 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 11 + 3 = 25
Damage, Smite Evil (first hit vs evil outsider): 1d8 + 2 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 14 = 23

Leothar moves up and finishes off the last of the guards. Ardriel fires at the demoness but the benches and statue hinder his aim.

The demoness smiles at Agna at her approach and fades away.

1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

Now has AC 30

Bastian of good: any attacks the target makes against allies within 10 feet of the paladin deal half damage

You have a std action from the previous round due to the guard being dead and a full round this round.

Dadna was going to move over to attack the demoness, but the creature faded away. Not knowing what else she could do, she called down the blessing of her goddess on herself.

Casting protection against evil

"Can anyone see it?"
I believe Agna has options here.

Leothar delays.

He is at 50/82 HP and has 3/5 LoH (3d6) remaining. Don't think I need to use one right now if we have other healing resources.

Agna comes to a halt and casts See Invisibility in an attempt to locate the demon.

As the demoness disappears, Ian stops on Leothar's hip, turning to wards Agna expectantly as she looks around the battlefield.

Ian delays as well, Now has AC 30 against the demon.

As Agna activates her ability to see invisible things she is surprised when she doesn't see the demon immediately. As she turns her head he sees her behind most of the group as an outline and knows she is in the ethereal plane.
