[GameDay IX] GM Hawthwile's Sky Key Solution [5-6] (Inactive)

Game Master Hawthwile

Delaying Mattaius.

The massive dinosaur completely ignores Tsuan's approach as Pai's lightning strikes it squarely in the side. Bellowing in pain and rage, it crashes forward and swings its club-like tail at the flying gnome...

Blue Tail, Power Attack vs Pai AC 18: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 14 - 2 = 13
Bludgeoning damage, PA: 3d6 + 12 + 6 ⇒ (2, 4, 6) + 12 + 6 = 30

...and strikes the ceiling instead, causing a cascade of dust and rock flakes to trickle down before getting sucked up by Pai's enveloping winds.

Environmental Effects:
- Ceiling is 10 ft high in tunnels, 15 ft high in chamber

What do you do?

Mattaius moves forward into the chamber.

Double move.

With an excited WHOOP!, Jamir charges towards the ankylosaurus, bounding over the smaller pieces of rubble and scrambling up and across larger obstacles, finally skidding into position next to Mattaius.

Jamir stares up at the dinosaur and grins. "That's magnificent!"

Myth moves 15’ down...if he has line of sight on the serpent he’ll fire at it, if not, then at the dinosaur...

To Hit: Base/Dex, Magic, Weapon Focus, Rapid Shot, Precise Shot, Deadeye Bowman
Damage: Magic, Strength

Magic Longbow: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 26
Magic/Cold Iron: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 2 = 10

@Jamir - Underfoot Assault usually only is an option if the opponent is adjacent to the mouser and misses on an attack against them. Do you have something that changes that?

Mattaius and Jamir instinctively duck as an arrow whizzes overhead to strike the dinosaur, expertly finding an open patch between the bony plates and eliciting another bellow of pain. Pai watches as behind the pillar, the three serpentfolk start to shimmer and waver as though they were underwater before the group scurries behind the pillar.

No. is the issue that the tail isn't part of its space?

Floria moves further into the room, and focuses on the Ankylosaurus. She tilts her head down slightly toward it and pushes mentally.

She's casting murderous command. DC 18 will save negates

If it fails its save:
Feeling the psychic command take root, she calls out to Pai and Tsuan "That one is ours for a second, let it spend itself against its ally before you take it down!"

The ankylosaurus has a 15 ft reach with its tail, so I don't think that would count as "part of its space" unfortunately.

Blue Will vs DC 18: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

The dinosaur turns towards its handler and snorts loudly. Be aware that this does not mean it considers the Pathfinders to be allies and is still very likely to make Attacks of Opportunity against them should the opportunity arise.

Tsuan double moves. She can't charge because the difficult terrain.[ooc]

[Ooc]Also, a remimder she has 4 mirror images.

"Crap! Crapcrapcrap!" Pai _really_ doesn't like being within range of that nasty tail, but since she shouldn't attack the dino right now, off she goes. "Eeek!" She flinches as she flees, hoping that she doesn't get clobbered, and flies north around the column so she can zap at the wavery snake dudes.

Acrobatics to leave threatened square: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Electric blast vs. Touch AC: 1d20 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 3 = 153d6 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (6, 3, 1) + 2 + 4 = 16
Which serpentfolk does she hit?: 1d3 ⇒ 2
Includes Elemental Overflow, Point Blank Shot, & Precise Shot

Thanks for the reminder on the images, Tsuan!

Pai is not quite quick enough to avoid drawing the dinosaur's attention...

Blue Tail, PA vs Pai AC 18: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 14 - 2 = 27
Bludgeoning damage, PA: 3d6 + 12 + 6 ⇒ (5, 1, 6) + 12 + 6 = 30

...and the massive tail catches her squarely in the chest as she tries to fly away, slamming her into the ceiling...

Pai Fortitude: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

...and leaving her dazed and breathless. The dinosaur then turns its attention to the target of its murderous command - the serpentfolk!

Blue Tail, PA vs Red: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 14 - 2 = 15
Miss chance, 1 = Miss: 1d5 ⇒ 5
Mirror Image, 1 = Hit: 1d3 ⇒ 3
Bludgeoning damage, PA: 3d6 + 12 + 6 ⇒ (4, 1, 4) + 12 + 6 = 27

The dinosaur's tail crashes into the stout stone column, sending flakes of rocks flying through the air and catching one of the serpentfolk's magical images on the backswing. The smaller creature looks up at the larger one incredulously, seeming to be communicating with it without words.

What do you do?

"Come along, Mattaius! Quickly, while the beast is focused on its master!" Jamir takes off at run, tumbling through the reach of the creature's tail so as to get into stabbing range of its head.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

Stabby stab (+1 rapier): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 231d4 + 7 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 5 = 15

**HOUSE GM ANNOUNCEMENT**

Waves of junior agents have gained control of the animal pens and have begun moving farther in.

GMs, the Area B is now accessible, and Area A is now controlled.

"Pai! Get outta there!"

Myth moves to get with any point blank range and peels off another arrow at the dinosaur, hoping they can bring down the beast before it can strike at the dazed gnome again...

To Hit: Base/Dex, Magic, Weapon Focus, PBS, Rapid Shot, Precise Shot, Deadeye Bowman, Rapid Shot
Damage: Magic, Strength, PBS

Magic Longbow: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 1 + 1 = 29
Magic/Cold Iron: 1d6 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 + 1 = 9

Spinning on the spot, Mattaius's hand snaps out toward the huge creature and the starknife at his hip is drawn and thrown faster than seems possible. It streaks toward its target and by some trick of the throw it returns back so that Mattaius can pluck it from the air and take a step to his left.

Ranged Attack: BaB (+4), Dex (+5), Enhancement (+1), Weapon Focus (+1) and Point Blank Shot (+1)
Starknife Damage: Sacred Weapon (1d4 -> 1d8), Dex (+5), Enhancement (+1), Point Blank Shot (+1)

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 11

Quick Draw starknife, throw and five foot step. The starknife will return to Mattaius as soon as the attack is resolved.

Given that Jamir could reach the dinosaur even moving at half-speed and that moving at full-speed would increase the Acrobatics DC by +10, I've moved Jamir back a few spaces.

Jamir darts forward, tiny blade tasting blood as he stabs at the dinosaur's ankle. Mythryndyr lodges another arrow in the spaces between the bony plates, but Mattaius's starknife bounces off before returning to his hand.

The serpentfolk steps back from Tsuan before hissing in the ninja's direction. Ssssslave flee when ssssssstill can! The words echo in Tsuan's mind, carrying with them a command that cannot be ignored even as the words themselves sound as if the speaker is unfamiliar with the language.

I don't know how a serpentfolk from this time period would know Common, but they do, so we're going to say that they picked up enough words from the Pathfinders talking to each other to be at least functional in the language.

Tsuan Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Tsuan shakes off the compulsion and ignores the suggestion!

Environmental Effects:

What do you do?

Floria tries to help Tsuan against the Serpentfolk. She moves so she can see it around the pillar, and then lets her anger that she can't use most of her psychic magic on it overtake her, transforming as she does into a darker, twisted version of herself. Malice forms in her catlike eyes as she conjures magic missiles and shoots them toward it.

Move, swift action to change to dark half, standard to cast magic missile, and she'll spend a phrenic point for relentless casting to roll twice on the SR check

Morphic Form: 1d100 ⇒ 59
She gets DR 5/cold-iron

Caster level vs. SR, spell penetration: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 = 21
Caster level vs. SR, spell penetration: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9

Force damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2, 2) + 3 = 8

If it takes any damage from that it will also take 2 bleed damage from her dark half

She screeches in a hateful rage at the enemy.

"Pai! Get outta there!"

Pai's woozy response doesn't make it out of her mouth: W-w-w-whaddayuh thinnngk I was doooin'?

Tsuan looks at Dark Floria and does a double-take. That is ... truly terrifying. I'm glad she's on my side.

Tsuan steps forward and slashes with her wakizashis. Does the ankylosaur count as a flanker if it's affected by murderous command? If so, Tsuan should get her sneak attack damage (3d6).

Wakizashi, TWF: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Wakizashi, TWF: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Damage, offhand: 1d6 ⇒ 1

The ankylosaurus does not consider Tsuan an ally, even while under the effects of murderous command and thus does not provide flanking.

Tsuan Miss Chance, 1 = Miss: 1d5 ⇒ 2
Mirror Image, 1 = Hit: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Tsuan's flashing blades cut through one of the serpentfolk pair, and it bursts like a bubble. The remaining figure hisses at the ninja as it ducks her second swing, one hand clutching its side in an attempt to stop the bleeding from Floria's missiles.

The dinosaur bellows in pain and swings its tail at the halfling underfoot...

Blue Tail, PA: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 14 - 2 = 27
Bludgeoning damage: 3d6 + 12 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1, 5) + 12 + 6 = 26

That'll hit even with Dodging Panache unfortunately.

Jamir Fortitude: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

...and catches him squarely in the chest. Jamir reels from the blow much like Pai above him, breathless and dazed.

Given the asynchronous nature of PbP and the fact that I'm rolling reactive saves for players, I am ignoring the requirement for rerolls and similar abilities of 'You must decide whether to do this before the results of the roll are revealed". So if, for example, Jamir wanted to use a Folio reroll or Charmed Life on that Fortitude save, he could declare so in his next post and we would retcon any changes that might occur from that.

Pai's woozy response doesn't make it out of her mouth: W-w-w-whaddayuh thinnngk I was doooin'?

Even as he manuevers to get another shot, Myth can't help but grin at Pai's reply...he moves 15' east and fires again at the dinosaur...

To Hit: Base/Dex, Magic, Weapon Focus, PBS, Rapid Shot, Precise Shot, Deadeye Bowman
Damage: Magic, Strength, PBS

Magic Longbow: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 1 + 1 = 23
Magic/Cold Iron: 1d8 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 + 1 = 5

Jamir will use Charmed Life, please, for +3 to the Fort save.

Wasting no time, Mattaius spins once more and sends the starknife straight back toward the large creature.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 10

Attack again, same bonuses as before. GM, If you'd like me to re-post the break down of Mattaius's attack rolls; please let me know. Otherwise I'll omit them unless something changes.

@Jamir - Unfortunately, a 21 still fails that Fortitude save.

@Mattaius - The breakdown would be handy, though feel free to abbreviate.

Mythryndyr and Mattaius continue their assault on the dinosaur as Jamir stands in a daze - the elf's arrow slipping past the armored plates while the starknife bounces off once more.

The serpentfolk hisses and attacks Tsuan with its dagger and mouth!

Red Dagger vs Tsuan AC 22: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Image Chance, 1 = Tsuan: 1d5 ⇒ 5
Slashing damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Image Chance, 1 = Tsuan: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Bite damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

The reptile plunges its dagger into the chest of one of Tsuan's images, which dissipates into smoke around the blade. It bites, but the four remaining ninjas duck out of the wild attack. Blood trickles from between the serpentfolk's fingers, dripping on the stone floor.

Wakizashi, TWF: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Floria turns her attention to the large dinosaur with its mushy mind.

"That one is MINE!"

She screeches in a most perturbing fashion concentrating on trying to invade its mind and squeeze

Mind Thrust II: 5d8 ⇒ (7, 6, 7, 8, 3) = 31
DC 19 Will save for half, 2 bleed if it takes any damage

Afterwards a small sane part of her tries to regain control

Concentration DC 16: 1d20 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 6 = 23

She returns to her normal self, panting with exertion.

The serpentfolk screeches in pain as both Tsuan's blades taste its blood, but the sound is drowned out by the dinosaur's dying bellow as it crumples to the ground face-first.

Finally Pai's sense return to her, just in time to see a way freakier-looking Floria take down the dinosaur. What the fudge happened to her? Oh well! "Woohooo!" Pai celebrates being able to fly right over the clobber-monster to aim a zappy-zap at the snake dude.

Electric blast vs. Touch AC: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 303d6 + 2 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 6, 2) + 2 + 4 + 1 = 16

Miss Chance (1=Miss): 1d5 ⇒ 4

Jamir shakes off his stupor and spits blood onto the ancient floor. "Very impressive, Fiona, and more than a little terrifying! Well done! Now for the creature calling the shots!"

Jamir runs past the colossal corpse of the dinosaur and darts around the pillar to flank the serpentfolk with Tsuan.

Using 1 panache to double precision damage on a hit
Mwk Rapier, flanking, incl. precision dmg x2: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 14 + 2 = 171d4 + 7 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 10 = 19

Grrrr. Using my GM 1-star reroll.
Mwk Rapier, flanking, 1 GM star, incl. precision dmg x2: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 14 + 2 + 1 = 181d4 + 7 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 10 = 21

I can't even.

The serpentfolk looks up at the flying gnome with surprise and fear in its eyes before Pai's lightning races through its body and leaves it smoking and twitching lifelessly on the floor.

Out of Initiative! Damage Report:
- Pai (-30)
- Jamir (-26)

Go ahead and include any restorative actions in your next post.

Since Pai's attack happened before Jamir's, he didn't have the opportunity to use Panache or his GM reroll and thus still has them available.

As the Pathfinders tend to their wounds, they realize that they have an excellent opportunity to study the anatomy of these creatures, thus allowing for comparison with modern specimens to track any changes over the centuries. But there's not enough time for such detailed work right now, so they'll have to settle with making a good set of notes to use later.

Everyone can attempt one of the following checks to make a useful set of notes:
- Craft (painting)
- Handle Animal
- Heal
- Knowledge (nature)
- Profession (clerk, farmer, scribe, shepherd, stable master)
- Survival

What do you do?

Tsuan has a wand of cure light wounds that can be used. She has UMD, but it would be more efficient if someone who can cast it uses the wand.

Tsuan's not going to be very much help when it comes to the note-taking, though.

Survival: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (3) + 0 = 3

Looks like Mattaius is the only one with CLW on their spell list. Pai has UMD +6.

CLW: 6d8 + 6 ⇒ (7, 3, 3, 1, 6, 1) + 6 = 27
@Tsuan: That's a lot of hits with your wand. Pai can use some of her 5 potions of CLW for that if you'd prefer.

Once healed up and happy, Pai scurries over, under, and around the ankylosaurus to get a closer look at it.

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Jamir clearly knows Floria very well, for while she is always embarrassed to show her dark side to new pathfinders, nothing can get in the way of a Taldan's love of etiquette, and having a fellow Taldan get her name wrong cannot go unaddressed.

She saunters over to him and overs her hand.

"I'm so sorry Master Montejay, please forgive my manners, I believe we were never properly introduced. My name is Floria Avernathus of the Yanmass Avernathus', and it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance"

She draws out the syllables of Floria, for while it simply wouldn't do to draw attention to the mistake, she wants to leave absolutely no doubt as to how its pronounced.

Floria can be a little insufferable, sorry!

"Now lets see what we have here"

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

"Quite fascinating"

Myth just picked up a level of ranger so he can operate wands of CLW as well...and he and Lai can split the hits among their wands. Since Lai already healed Pai, I'll take care of Jamir...

Seeing Lai's wand being used to heal Pai, Myth walks over to his old friend Jamir and uses his wand...

CLW (Jamir): 6d8 ⇒ (8, 4, 2, 6, 4, 7) = 31

"There you go, my friend, just like new...try ducking next time," he says with a smirk....

Tsuan is happy to share.

Pai and Tsuan have a bit of difficulty identifying the dinosaur's bleeding and punctured organs, but Floria makes straight for the creature's head and uses her experience from fighting it to make a detailed chart of the relatively-small brain.

Victory Point obtained!

The Pathfinders join their fellows in heading upward from what seems to be a zoological garden to something akin to a jail. Claustrophobic cells line the walls, many crowded with three or four miserable-looking humans. The halls converge on a hewn-stone chamber lit with braziers and choked with herb-scented smoke. Before the explorers can speak with the captives, however, a sibilant hiss echoes from further down the hallway!

**HOUSE GM ANNOUNCEMENT**

Senior agents at the top of the strange formation have secured the plaza and are ready to venture inside.

GMs, Area D is now accessible, Area C is now controlled.

Floria gulps.

"Oh dear. A slaugrak - Demonic tinged troglodyte. Cold-iron or blessed weapons will do I think, and don't bother with acid or poison. Resistant to most energies actually. Try not to get bitten, I seem to recall they have acidic bites that liquefy organs"

She tries an experimental blast from her wand.

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
SR: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Charges remaining: 48/50

"I may have angered it"

"What?! Resistant to energies?! Like electricity?! Oh man! Not again!" What rotten luck! Well, good think I have this dinky little dagger.

"I'm so sorry Master Montejay, please forgive my manners, I believe we were never properly introduced. My name is Floria Avernathus of the Yanmass Avernathus', and it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance"

Jamir accepts Floria's hand and bows over it formally. "My lady, I am entirely at your service. Please accept my apologies, as I believe I may have mispronounced your name while I was charging to attack our late foe. Although I may have mistaken your given name, my compliment of your mystical prowess was precisely as intended. Our party is blessed indeed to include a mage of your potency."

His serious expression gives way to his usual grin. "Yanmass, you say? A fine town! You must be familiar with the Whistling Wyvern, yes? Please give Sariletta - she's one of the barmaids, the red-head - my best when you next visit!"

* * *

"Mythryndyr, my friend, thank you for the offer of healing. Please, do not deplete your own resources - use my wand instead. Perhaps you should hold onto it for the remainder of the mission. Feel free to use it to heal others as well!"

* * *

OK, caught up. Waiting for initiative to roll around.

The slaugrak laughs at Floria's puny effort, then throws its head back and roars. The shadows around Floria seem to grow into thin greasy vapors that rapidly spread through the air...

Evil damage: 4d8 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 5) = 13

Remember the table policy on rerolls/Charmed Life/etc.

...and while most of the Pathfinders shake off the cloying darkness, Jamir and Mythryndyr can't help but feel a bit queasy in the stomach. (Jamir and Mythryndyr are sickened.) The slaugrak chuckles darkly, "wanI' tlhaQ DaqaSmoH!"

That's just ... wow.

"Blergh! These shadows ... urk!"

Jamir pulls a potion from his handy haversack and drinks it carefully, pausing between swallows to make sure the liquid stays where it belongs.

Cure moderate wounds: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2) + 3 = 8

At the mention of a demonic creature Mattaius pushes past the rest of the group and charges down the corridor. Raising his shield he calls out to Desna, "Desna, grant me your grace". The starknife at his hip bursts into brilliant white light.

Moveing 30 ft, activating Sacred Weapon (swift) to make the starknife Good and casting Divine Favour.

Tsuan draws an oil of align weapon and applies it to her favored wakizashi.

She steps forward and asks, "ты размаўляеш па-пякельнаму?"

@GM Hawthwile: Are the ceiling heights the same as in the last area?

"Well, you know I gotta test it myself!" Pai won't believe the thingy at the end of the hall's immune to her strikes until she sees it with her own eyes. She scoots around the corner and takes aim.

Electric blast vs. Touch AC: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 = 233d6 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (6, 6, 1) + 2 + 4 = 19

Includes Elemental Overflow

Floria translates the abyssal for anyone who doesn't know it.

"It thinks we are slaves and tells us to get back to our pens or be eaten. How unspeakably vile of it"

She moves to within range for her psychic magic and attempts to befuddle it. It's only as she is completing the marshalling of thoughts and emotions that she realises she's moved to be closest to it.

She's casting Id Insinuation II on it. DC 20 will save or be confused. It would roll twice and take Floria's favourite on the first round if it failed.

Caster level vs. SR: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 = 25

Floria's preferred actions:
1 - Deal damage to self
2 - Do nothing
3 - Attack nearest creature
4 - Act normally

@Pai - Ceiling is 10 ft high in hallway/small chamber, 15 ft high in large chamber (where Red is).

Red Will vs DC 20: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Confused: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

Pai's lightning bolt strikes the slaugrak squarely in the chest, but it merely winces as most of the shock dissipates through its thick skin. Its deep chuckle trails off suddenly as Floria's spell takes hold of its simple mind.

Red does nothing this round, but we still need to hear from Mythryndyr before everyone else can act again. I'll delay him if we haven't heard from him later tonight.

What do you do?

After Myth retches, he moves 20’ down and peels off a cold iron arrow at red...

To Hit: Base/Dex, Magic, Weapon Focus, Rapid Shot, Precise Shot, Deadeye Bowman, Sickened
Damage: Magic, Strength, Sickened

Magic Longbow: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 16
Magic/Cold Iron: 1d8 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 - 2 = 5

Mythryndyr's arrow plinks harmlessly off the slaugrak's thick hide, but the creature locks its confused gaze on the archer.

Red Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

It hurtles down the hallway towards the Pathfinders, then leaps with its massive legs right over Floria and Mattaius to land right in front of Mythryndyr!

@Mattaius, this provokes an AoO from you. @Floria, if you are holding a melee weapon this would provoke from you as well.

An incredulous hiss startles Floria, who turns around to see two smaller creatures peering around corner of a smaller hallway at the slaugrak. As they see her seeing them, they snarl and race towards the noblewoman, clawing wildly at her...

Blue Claw vs Floria AC 20: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

...and leaving jagged gashes!

Three waves of stench wash over the Pathfinders, one after another!

Tsuan Fortitude vs Blue: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Tsuan Fortitude vs Yellow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

The horrid stench overwhelms Floria, Mattaius, Mythryndyr, and Tsuan, leaving them all feeling ill.

Environmental Effects:

What do you do?

Mattaius swings at the creature as it rushes past him.

Melee Attack (AoO): 1d20 + 5 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 31
Critical Confirmation: 1d20 + 5 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 10
Good Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Almost scoring a grievous wound, but the terrible stench causes him to re-coil and ruin the strike. Turning to one of the smaller creatures harrying Floria, he slashes out at it.

Melee Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 30
Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 14
Good Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Mattaius takes his attack of opportunity and then makes a regular attack on his turn.
