Lion's Justice- Where Mammoth's Dare Not Tread (Inactive)

Game Master Nathanael Love

Upon reaching the graveyard, Ajax casts Barkskin (+3 AC) on himself and Kevlor. He also asks Petra to use his wand of mage armor on Ara. Ajax then wands Longstrider on himself and Shield Companion on Ara. Ajax also cast Gravity Bow (9 minutes) and recalls the spells on his Pearl of Power.

"Should I cast Enemy Insight now?"
.

Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

Does this terrain qualify as either Urban or Jungle?

Stealth Ara: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Ajax also looks for tracks of the beast

Take 10 on Tracking Demons = 33

The terrain is neither urban nor jungle here

As you approach the graveyard, you see a mammoth, obviously suffering a plague, milling about, but do not immediately see the demon you came here for.

Moving into initiative now; the mammoth has not yet noticed you, so if you want to move stealthily roll each time you move. Please start yourselves in the red box.

Round 1

Turn Order:
1. Petra
2. Ajax
3. gibrileth
4. Grel
5. Kelvor
6. Mammoth
7. Juniper

Petra and Ajax can act before the demon; you could tell you were close prior to this, so you can have pre-cast minute/level buff spells as you approached, but not round/level ones, just declare which you have active on your first round's action please.

Barkskin on Ara from me CL 9.

Petra will Enlarge Kevlor if he doesn’t object.
See invisibility and fly on Petra. Mags armour on her and Emberkin as usual. Can Ara benefit from Mage armour?
Invisibility on Emberkin.
Spell tattoo of D-door on Emberkin.
Does anyone else want fly? I can hit us all if you want.
Grease on Junipers armour from Emberkin’s spell slot (3mins)

As it looks like things could go poorly with the mammoth and the demon could appear any moment Petra casts Haste on the party.
stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Enlarged Kelvor. Oh lordy.

The trail leads to a crumbling ruin, built on the edge of a
shallow crater. Noxious fumes billow up from several vents at
the base of the crater.

You easily track the Kitrangian to its lair. . . as you approach the demon has what look to be five fiendish aurochs with it.

Kitrangian Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Aurochs Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Round 1

Turn Order:
1. Petra
2. Ajax
3. Aurochs and Kitrangian
4. Grel
5. Kelvor
6. Juniper

Ok! New map and opponents up- same basic set up- minute/level buffs already up, round/level have to be cast in combat; Petra and Ajax going before the enemies. You CAN see where the demon is on this map setup however.

Ajax will waits for Petra to cast her spell.

Recall Knowledge (Planes) on Aurochs: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Ajax will cast Enemy Insight on Grel, Kevlor, and Juniper

"Stay close to me or the spell will break."

The Aurochs are an animal with the fiending template which gives them resistance 5 to Fire, Acid, and Cold, and SR (low enough you cannot fail), as well as the ability to smite good 1/day as the anti-paladin ability

Round 1
Assuming the enemy switch didn't change petra's action

Petra casts haste on the party.

Ajax casts enemy insight.

The aurochs mill about, but do not move to engage yet.

The kitrangian begins to summon Summoning: 1d100 ⇒ 44 but it's pleas to the Abyss go unanswered by any more of its kind!

Round 1

Turn Order:
1. Petra
2. Ajax
3. Aurochs and Kitrangian
4. Grel
5. Kelvor
6. Juniper

That brings up the party to finish round 1/start round 2.

Enemy Insight is a minute/level, but I'm fine with casting it as my first action. I will have already cast GB and used a Pearl of Power lvl 1 to recall the spell. I'll put my min/lvl spells at 7 minutes left and my 1 hr spells at 45mn. I also cast Life Bubble on the party some time ago..

I'll list Ajax/Ara active buffs in my spoilers.

Kelvor lumbers upslope towards the demon, ignoring (for now) the aurochs. Unable to reach it in his enormous state, he readies himself to strike.

Ready an Action to hit anything that comes within reach.

Remember, you have to stay within 45 feet of Ajax or Enemy Insight drops.

Remember, you have to stay within 45 feet of Ajax or Enemy Insight drops.

Gotcha. I adjusted my move so I'm just barely within 45ft.

@GM: Just a reminder that Juniper's armor is glamered, so it looks like regular clothing instead of full plate. ;)

"Follow Kelvor, everyone!" Juniper calls, as she races after the giant warrior. "Stay on me!"

She turns and points at the demon standing on the small rise. "In the name of Apsu, the Waybringer, you shall not prevail today! Return to the depths of the Abyss or face your destruction!"

Standard: total defense.
Move: hasty move.
Swift: bastion of good vs the demon.

Juniper's Defenses
AC 42, touch 24, CMD 28 (+12 vs grapple; +2 vs bull rush, reposition, trip)
Against the demon, add +4 to all of these.
Any attacks made by the demon against allies within 10 ft. of Juniper deal only half damage.
Anyone adjacent to Juniper gets +8 dodge bonus to their AC (and CMD).

If they are Animals for Recall Knowledge, then that would be a 21 total. I want to know if aurochshave a trample or charge type of attack. Ajax has two bags of caltrops and wondering if I should throw them down.

"Mind that heard of aurochs, something tells me they are likey to charge us. A well placed grease spell might be our best defense."

Since Ajax will come up again before the demon, I'll move now.

Ajax advances with the rest of the party, and readies an arrow to fire at the demon if it attempts to cast another spell.

Grel will bound up in his cat form and stop to lay a preventative territory for the fiendish aurochs.

Spike Stones

move action with 70ft of movement thanks to haste. standard to cast spell.

With the fiendish template added they become outsiders, but either way you'd know- they DO have special trample attack, but it only counts if 3 or more make the ordinary trample combat ability in the same round while adjacent so with this few of them they don't have enough to use it (called "stampede")

Round 1
Grel moves forward as a cat.

Kelvor moves forward and readies an action.

Juniper moves forward, activates her bastion of good, and enters a defensive posture.

Turn Order:
1. Petra
2. Ajax
3. Aurochs and Kitrangian
4. Grel
5. Kelvor
6. Juniper

Pending Petra and Ajax to start round 2

Posted my action above. If the aurochs are Evil Outsiders, then Enemy Insight would work against them.

@Grel: if you move 5 feet less, you get a +4 bonus to AC from Juniper. Spike Stones has range of Medium anyway. PLUS, you get like EIGHT of those 20-ft squares, not just one.

@GM: I had a typo above, adjacent allies get a +4 bonus to AC, not +8. Sorry.

per level! oh yeah we'll just lock up those aurochs then. I've laid out more squares and left us space in case we want to engage the main demon in melee.

Oof my reading was not on point- Spike Stones is noted for when they move/act again and the readied arrow attack. Pending Petra only then.

”Lets get this show on the road.”

Petra raises her arms and floats into the air a little as flames build around her. Her tattoos flare and crackle as power builds before condensing into a tiny bead. With a smirk Petra balances the bead on a fingertip for a moment before sending it sailing towards the demon. The two Aurochs closest to the demon are also engulfed in the eruption of flame.

Spell Penetration for the Demon: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 13 + 2 = 35

Spell Penetration for the top Auroch : 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 13 + 2 = 17

Spell Penetration for the other Auroch: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 13 + 2 = 23

5ft step diagonally up.

Full Round action to cast Flaring Intensified Fireball CL13
DC 23 Reflex save for half damage.
Any damage will cause them to burst into flame and be dazzled

Damage: 13d6 + 13 ⇒ (4, 2, 5, 6, 4, 2, 2, 4, 3, 6, 4, 6, 6) + 13 = 67

***WOOOOOOOSH!***

Round 1
Petra sends the fireball, and watches as the second aurochs down incinerates in the blast.

The next aurochs, closest to the demon, however, fades away and the disguise is lifted! This wasn't an aurochs at all, but a second Demon hiding among the aurochs! The SR fails against the higher level of the demon

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

The demon you could see, however, took the brunt of the spell!

As the first demon begins to cast a spell, Aajx fires, hitting him with an arrow.
Concentration check: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22

Ajax- do your arrows overcome DR/good? It's relevant here as the concentration check passes if they do not and deals 3 damage and fails if the arrow does 13; casting greater teleport

The previously disguised demon likewise attempts to teleport to a more advantageous location.

Aurochs Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7
Aurochs Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6
Aurochs Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Turn Order:
1. Petra
2. Ajax
3. Aurochs and Kitrangian
4. Grel
5. Kelvor
6. Juniper

Blue Demon: -57 (-60 or -70),. dazzled
Aurochs A -7
Aurochs B -6, movement halved
Aucorchs C -8

That brings up the party again pending the answer on Ajax's arrow

Grel rears up and claws at the demon in front of him.

claw: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14
damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (2, 2) + 7 = 11

claw: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (2, 4) + 7 = 13

bite: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 1) + 5 = 10

claw, haste: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (2, 2) + 7 = 11

My arrows are not Good, so only 3 damage. Forgot about the DR.

Ajax looks up at the demon before him and can only sigh, "i knew it couldn't be that easy."

Ajax delays, hoping to put some distance between himself and his demonic neighbor.

Grel, don't forget you're getting +1 for Att/Dam with Enemy Insight

@Petra, any way you can teleport Ajax out of here? Alternatively, I just go Total Defense. Next to Juniper, that would put my AC at like 36. I could get another +2 from Ara. A third option is Juniper can trigger all of the demons AoO's (going to assume it's got Combat Reflexes) and Ajax slips out..

EDIT:

You know, Ajax does have 10 planar arrows. I guess I only thought that worked against Elementals, but if those works against demons, I would use them for the spell disruption shots. GM's call. Not gong to be upset if you're wanting to keep things as is, since I didn't bother to ask until now..

@GM: Just a reminder that Juniper's armor is glamered, so it looks like regular clothing instead of full plate. ;)

Juniper is going to delay until after Kelvor. If @Kelvor steps 5 ft. north, then Juniper will likewise. @Kelvor: don't move. Regardless, Juniper is going to pretty much do the same thing as last round: total defense.

At the start of her turn, Juniper will assign her +1 bonus from her shield to @Grel. He will get a +1 untyped bonus to his AC until next turn, as long as he remains adjacent to me.

"More fiends, more fun for everyone!" Juniper giggles. "It was so kind of you to come to us so that we need not go to you. It is the last mistake you will ever make!"

She turns and points at the new demon standing in their midst. "Don't think you are getting away today either!"

Juniper continues her defensive posture.
Standard: total defense.

She then moves behind Ara, then back to her original position. Which provokes from the white demon.
Move: movement. Emberkin took care of it.

Juniper's Defenses
AC 40, touch 25, CMD 29 (+12 vs grapple; +2 vs bull rush, reposition, trip)
Against the blue demon, add +4 to all of these.
Any attacks made by the blue demon against allies within 10 ft. of Juniper deal only half damage.
Anyone adjacent to Juniper gets +4 dodge bonus to their AC (and CMD).

”Sneaky Bastard!”

Petra flys up above the melee and lets loose a more control blast of flame. Her glare is as fiery as the eruption from her hands.
”Emberkin get Ajax out of there”

Flaring Burning Arc CL12 Reflex for half
Any Damage leaves them dazzled

First target: Blue demon DC22

Spell resistance: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 2 = 27
Damage: 10d6 + 10 ⇒ (3, 3, 4, 5, 4, 4, 6, 1, 4, 6) + 10 = 50

Second Target: Sneaky Demon DC20

Spell resistance: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 2 = 21
Damage: 5d6 + 5 ⇒ (6, 3, 6, 5, 6) + 5 = 31

EDIT
I forgot I can hit the Aurochs as extra targets

Third target:Auroch nearest the party DC20

Spell resistance: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 2 = 34

Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 5) + 2 = 13

Not going to bother with the last target as I doubt 1d6+1 can get through a demons fire resistance

”Ajax I will be grabbing you to teleport. As I am invisible you will need not to resist. Do you wish me to take Ara out also?
In fact is everyone else happy there in the middle of things? I suppose it is a target rich environment as I have known skilled warriors such as yourselves to say. ”

I can’t get everyone out of the flank, sorry.

Emberkin darts forward. He gives the demon a wide berth to avoid any attacks of opportunity, not entirely trusting his invisibility.

He stays 10ft from the demon which was disguised and grabs Ajax before teleporting to safety. He is careful to remain within the 45ft range of Ajax’s spell.

Scroll caster level check DC10: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Ajax would you like to position us where you would like? With telepathy its not hard for you to give directions.
I also can’t move my tokens atm as I’m working off an iPad and google docs doesn’t let me move things with the touch screen.
Btw how should I track Petra’s height on the slides?

You know, Ajax does have 10 planar arrows. I guess I only thought that worked against Elementals, but if those works against demons, I would use them for the spell disruption shots. GM's call. Not gong to be upset if you're wanting to keep things as is, since I didn't bother to ask until now..

Just leave it. It really is in our best interest to have the demons come to Kelvor. :)

Kelvor does not smile when the thing teleports close to him. In fact, he frowns and grips his earthbreaker tentatively. Nevertheless, he then swings as hard as he can!

Enemy Insight, Enlarged, Earthbreaker PA: 1d20 + 23 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 23 - 1 + 1 = 33 Dmg: 3d6 + 31 ⇒ (5, 4, 1) + 31 = 41
Enemy Insight, Hasted, Enlarged, Earthbreaker PA: 1d20 + 23 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 23 - 1 + 1 = 40 Dmg: 3d6 + 31 ⇒ (1, 1, 6) + 31 = 39
Iterative: Enemy Insight, Enlarged, Earthbreaker PA: 1d20 + 15 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 15 - 1 + 1 = 35Dmg: 3d6 + 31 ⇒ (2, 6, 6) + 31 = 45 CRIT THREAT!
Iterative: Crit confirmation: 1d20 + 15 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 15 - 1 + 1 = 19 UNLIKELY TO CONFIRM?

Targeting the one adjacent to me. If Kelvor kills the first one with either his first or second strike, he turns his remaining attack(s) at the demon to his south.

Kelvor's AC is currently AC30. Thanks, Juniper!

Agreed. Let's just proceed.

Ajax responds to Embarkin telepathically, "On my signal, Kevlor and Petra seem to be a scythe cutting dry grass."

Waiting to see if the two demons are alive before signaling for the teleport.

Do you have a Shirt or a folio for a re-roll Kelvor? I'd say an Enlarged x3 crit is a pretty reasonable use :P

Ajax- yes, those arrows do work against Demonns/devils (and angels) ect as they are all outsiders, for future reference

Round 2
Grel launches into attacks at the demon, but narrowly misses with his best aimed attacks.

Kelvor bashes the demon, and his final attack manages to do just enough when combined with the fire damage to put the first of them down!

Juniper activates her defensive abilities.

Round 3
Petra casts another fire spell:
Remaining Demon Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
The demon avoids the worst of this attack, and thanks to its fire resistance takes slightly less.

The already wounded aurochs simply have no chance, and the fire mercifully puts them out of their misery. redirecting to demon/aurochs/aurochs since the first demon was killed

Turn Order:
1. Petra
2. Ajax
3. Aurochs and Kitrangian
4. Grel
5. Kelvor
6. Juniper

Demon: -15
Aucorchs C -8

Just pending Ajax then before the now singular demon.

When Kevlor's target falls, Ajax signals Embarkin. "Much obliged!" thinks the ranger to the familiar.

Ajax turns to face demon in front of Kevlor and unloads a round of arrows.

None of these are planar, but I have Clustered Shots so DR applies once to all damage.

[spoiler=Seige Hardended]Forgot to incude this boon in my single shot last round:
Siege Hardened: You survived the Siege of Nerosyan, and you have learned some impressive tricks for fighting demons. You gain a +1 bonus on weapon damage rolls against creatures with the demon subtype. [/spoiler

Main Shot w/FE + Haste + PBS - RS: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 16 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 20

Damage w/GB+FE + PBS + SH: 2d6 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2, 6) + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 17

Rapid Shot/FE + Haste + PBS - RS: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 16 + 2 = 38

Damage w/GB+FE + PBS + SH: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (4, 4) + 9 = 17

Haste/FE + Haste + PBS - RS: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 16 + 2 = 28

Damage w/GB+FE + PBS + SH: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 6) + 9 = 16

Iterative/FE + Haste + PBS - RS: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 11 + 2 = 33

Damage w/GB+FE + PBS + SH: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 1) + 9 = 11

Sorry got interrupted...finishing the post.

Crit confirm on Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 16 + 2 = 35

Extra damage: 4d6 + 18 ⇒ (4, 3, 2, 1) + 18 = 28

Crit confirm on Iterative Shot Shot: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 + 2 = 32

Extra damage: 4d6 + 18 ⇒ (6, 6, 4, 3) + 18 = 37

Obviously switching targets if current target falls

Pending crit confirm from Ajax on arrow #2 there, but even if max not enough to kill the demon before it acts.

Round 3
Ajax's second, third, and fourth arrows hit, his first shot skittering off across the ground. [ooc]17+16+11= 39 damage if critical confirms will be more

Unable to charge, the aurochs double moves forward.

The demon lashes out wildy, trying to hit anyone it can:
Claw at Juniper: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37
Stinger at Juniper: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 18 = 32
Claw at Grel: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26
Stinger at Kelvor: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27

Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Free Grab attempt: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (19) + 24 = 43

The attacks against Juniper and Kelvor fail, but the claw manages to snag Grel and hold him in its claw! I see Grel has 23 AC in profile and Juniper mentioned two +1s so I think that gets him to 25 and narrowly hit

Turn Order:
1. Petra
2. Ajax
3. Aurochs and Kitrangian
4. Grel
5. Kelvor
6. Juniper

Demon: -54 (and more if critical confirms)
Aucorchs C -8

Status: Grel, 12 damage, grappled

That brings up the party again

So 17+16+11+28+37-10=98 damage. Was going to have Ara use Spring Attack to give Aid Another on defense to Kevlor. Wouldn't have made a difference, but is that allowed?

Since I'm on atm, I'll attack and hopefully speed things up.

Ajax continues his attack on the demon, "Back to the abyss, you fiend!"

Main: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 16 + 2 = 28

Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (2, 5) + 9 = 16

Rapid: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 16 + 2 = 22

Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (2, 1) + 9 = 12

Haste: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 16 + 2 = 28

Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (6, 3) + 9 = 18

Iterative: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 11 + 2 = 26

Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (2, 5) + 9 = 16

If any of these are vs the auroch, subtract 2 on att/dam if not an Evil Outsider. Subtract an additional 1 on damage if not a demon-subtype

Ajax commands Ara to defend him.

I believe Grel's AC is 28.

Base 23
large –1
haste +1
Juniper's shield +1
Juniper's dodge +4

Grel may have also put Barkskin on himself, don't know if that's included in the base AC.

Looks like Ajax and I ninjad each other on posts simultaneous there; and thanks Juniper I knew I was probably missing something

Corrected status after the demon's action:

Demon: -113
Aucorchs C -8

Status: Grel- not hit or grappled

Edit: And yes, you can use aid another on defense and I see no reason an animal companion couldn't.

Thanks, folks. Incredible group, I have to say.

Grel claws and bites the adjacent aucorch since he can't reach the demon.

claw: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (4, 4) + 7 = 15

claw: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 1) + 5 = 8

bite: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (3, 1) + 7 = 11

claw, haste: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2) + 7 = 10

Poor rolls, unfortunately. But we have killer DPS elsewhere.

Kelvor turns to the other monstrosity. He stares at the faces on the arms, reaching out for him! He breathes deep and then strikes, as best he can.

Haste, Enlarged, PA, Earthbreaker: 1d20 + 23 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 23 - 1 + 1 = 32 Dmg: 3d6 + 31 ⇒ (1, 3, 1) + 31 = 36
Second Haste, Enlarged, PA, Earthbreaker: 1d20 + 23 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 23 - 1 + 1 = 39 Dmg: 3d6 + 31 ⇒ (4, 3, 4) + 31 = 42
Iterative: Haste, Enlarged, PA, Earthbreaker[/dice: 1d20 + 15 - 1 + 1d6 + 3d6 + 31 ⇒ (2) + 15 - 1 + (1) + (2, 5, 3) + 31 = 58

Is the demon taking damage from being on fire or is it too little to get through his resistance?

”Hey freaks, think quick!”
Petra launches another powered up fireball as her height off the ground keeps her out of the explosion.

Intensified Flaring Fireball DC23

Spell resistance demon: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 13 + 2 = 23
Spell resistance Auroch: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 2 = 27

Damage: 13d6 + 14 ⇒ (4, 2, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 1, 5, 4, 1, 3) + 14 = 53

Seeing the demon attempting to grasp his allies Emberkin puts a grease on Kelvor’s armour to help avoid that.
”Kelvor I apologise for the mess but I feel it is best to avoid the demon successfully getting hold of you.”

Petra- correct, being on fire does d6 fire damage/turn so with resistance 10 it cannot get through

Grel mauls the aurochs, slaying it.

Kelvor slams the demon three times, and smashes it.

Combat over

This task done, with proof of slaying the Kithangian you begin heading back to the Kellid tribesmen.

Gigantic blackened bones protrude from the ground and break up the otherwise monotonous, barren landscape. Giant rib cages lie exposed to the stinging winds, forming strange avenues and tunnels, while enormous mammoth skulls, with tusks still intact, stare vacantly across the open steppe.

Turn order:

1. Petra
2. Mammoth Riders/Mammoths
3. Kelvor
4. Grel
5. Ajax
6. Juniper

Looking for Petra before the ghost mammoth riders!

Ajax auto succceeds on the Perception check

When Ajax looks up to see the mammoths, he has only one thought, "I knew it couldn't be that easy."

K. Check (?) +8 vs Undead +15 vs Animal: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Who is going to wear the minor ring of inner fortitude? I nominate either Petra or Kelvor, though Juniper wouldn't mind it herself.
