Redeux's Little Trouble in Big Absalom [PBP Gameday XI] (Inactive)

Game Master Hmm

Wow... a 19 misses at level 1? WTF? I did miss the inspire, though. Thanks for the reminder.

From what you've seen already you'd know that the 19 would narrowly miss; and from a different perspective if this were a live session we'd be about 3.75 hours into the session so this is what youd suspect to be the 'final encounter' -- so yeah AC's are a bit high but throwing some debuffs or flanking gets it to a reasonable number

Simeek's halberd penetrates the lawn crawfish's shell and it falls motionless to the floor. One clawhand spontaneously moves but doesn't manage to hit anyone. Hit and yellow down

grimmnir poison: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 poisoned: 1d6 ⇒ 4
The poison begins to set into Grimmnir's veins making her feel a bit woozy. Grimmnir sustains bane and the doubt enters red's mind will save: fail, -1 status penalty to attack. Grimmnir then casts Fear on the lone crawfish and the creature looks like it's struggling to stand it's ground will save: fail, frightened 2.

Red attacks Blanka who is the only one within it's reach. First strike slices the air, the second strike catch's Blanka's wrist, and third strike cuts some grass. 2 misses, 1 hit on 2nd strike for 3 slashing, and fort save vs poison

What did Granny say about those lawn crawfish? Round 4 : BOLD can act
Rhin
Doktor Middens -2, enfeebled 1, Poisoned (stage 1 -- DC 17 Fort save or suffer 1d6 poison damage and enfeebled 2), if you succeed you'll lose the poison

Round 5
red lawn crawfish , frightened 1, -1 status penalty to attacks, dazzled for 1 minute.

Active effects: Inspire Courage: +1 to atk, +1 to dmg, +1 vs Fear

Seeing that most of this is in hand, Doktor Middens attempts to help everyone who is close that is poisoned.

Medicine, Treat Poison, Self: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Medicine, Treat Poison, Grimmnir: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

DC is the Poison save. Success You grant the creature a +2 circumstance bonus to its next saving throw against the poison.

He then moves around to get behind Blanka

Fort save v poison: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 2 = 24

Rhin continues to inspire courage and fling foilage.

telekinetic: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 = 20
bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9

fort save...again DC17: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Blanka yells out in anger, bringing his pick down one more time. It looks like his aim is off, before he screams out in even MOAR ANGER!
pick it REAL good: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 pick? Please?: 1d10 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 4 = 10
reroll: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 Still 6 piercing, 4 electrical

He then breathes out lightning at the crawfish!
electricity, DC17: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Simeek drinks the potion in hand, takes a two hand grip on his "halberd" and swings at red.

MHP: 1d8 ⇒ 4

attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 1 = 221d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12

one actio-interact to drink, one action-interact to place second hand on weapon-one action to attack

With one lawn crawfish remaining, it stood little chance against the great hookclaw dragons who collectively smashed, pierced, and electrified the creature in a few seconds. As the creature fell to the ground, it instinctively one final slice with it's claws but only caught air in it's grasp.

Leaving the hedge maze and that weird building, the group heads back towards Granny's house. Granny is enthusiastic for you to return, but squints her eyes more than normal to see her hedge trimmer, "Wouldn't you know it! While you were out, my grandson came by to give me a new one! Said the old model was rubbish. You can have it if you want, dearies; maybe one of your parents might like it!" She then pulls out a bag of coins and hands everyone a few gold pieces for your trouble.

Heading back to the Hookclaws; the clan is impressed with all the treasure you returned with. Tunnelmaster Miknik is eager to hear all about it, and when the lawn crawfish are mentioned he quickly sends a group of scouts to go and collect the bodies for a feast in your honor! When told about the set of fancy, matching clothes, those are also retrieved and the group is all asked to wear them in preparation for the feast!

During the celebrations there is much of the treasure from the trove piled behind your seats of honor. Stuffed crocodile, giant rubber duck, granny's head trimmer, and so on all sit behind you as you share your tale in front of the whole clan. This time when recounting the experience with the mighty Dragon, suddenly many lights begin dancing all around the room. Blanka sees Irlini in the corner! True to your word, the Hookclaws are terribly gullible and fall for all her tricks. After some time she shows herself and allows herself to be revered for but a moment before she suddenly vanishes. Everyone erupts in cheers at this surreal experience!

The rest of the feast goes swimmingly with spirits at an all time high. At the conclusion of the feast, Tunnelmaster Miknik speaks up,
"The Hookclaws are smart, and we must recognize our heroes." He pauses to look at each one of you individually, "Each of you have been given the title of 'Highly-Esteemed Hero!'" The hookclaw clan erupts in more cheers!

And that's a wrap! Thank you all for playing. I'll post chronicles in discussion
