GM Elberion's Thornkeep Sanctum of a Lost Age (Inactive)

Game Master GeraintElberion

A sounds good.

"The earliest? Good. Fresh kindling." Nemesis spends a moment contemplating the situation before turning back to Rozimus (with a strategic adjustment of her breastplate). "Rozimus? We've one thing left to do here. How would you like to join some new companions in avenging your old ones?"

Diplomacy, guidance, Charming: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Reesa has no objection to Nemesis’ proposed plan of action.

A is fine...

A Works for me as well!

Aye...then we can get a drink when we're done. What say you, Rozimus? You with us?

Rozimus will join you.

It's pretty clear that you will fight this guy. Any pre-buffs?

Reesa burns off a charge from her wand of mage armor and is ready for the battle.

I'll drop a pre-emptive Haste when we are coming up to the chamber Togarin should be in.

Valeros will drink a potion of Awesomeness aka a swig of wine

Sucy gives Valeros an extract of barkskin +3 natural armor bonus for the next 80 minutes. before the group moves in.

You push open the door and Togarin has clearly been expecting you not to comply, "I'll just have to throttle the little, skulking fool myself then!"

The tiger roars and you can see the contraction of its windpipe.

All party buffs: haste, round 1 of 8

Well, shall we, Victor? Last one to fight is a dirty orc! valeros says as he darts in and slashes at the tiger, hoping the combined assault between himself and Victor will put the cat out of the fight.

ayyack: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 15 + 4 = 351d8 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 4 = 16

Hey..wait... Victor calls out as he lumbers forward.

Victor moves up and tries to run the cat through with his polearm.

attack: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 4 = 261d10 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 15 + 4 = 25

Together, Victor and Valeros succeed in angering the skinless dire tiger.

BOOST!
+4 to Attack and Damage rolls!

Sucy slips into the room and fires a shot at the tiger.
attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 2 + 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 2 + (2, 2, 4, 4) + 5 = 26
Precise bombs to exclude Pathfinders from the splash, but not Togarin.

Not thrilled by the experience, the tiger tries to attack...
1 is Valeros, 2 is Victor: 1d2 ⇒ 1

claw: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38
damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 3) + 8 = 17

claw: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19
damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 4) + 8 = 17

bite: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34
damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 2) + 8 = 15

grab: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (11) + 23 = 34

Meanwhile the wizard tries to cast a spell.
concentration: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35

crit confirm: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29
extra damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 4) + 8 = 17

The tiger latches on the Valeros.

The wizard makes a strange stare at Victor...
victor fort save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

Victor, follow up will save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26

And Victor turns into a white rabbit with a fluffy tail.

The wizard grins wickedly.

Bold may act!

Reesa begins casting Summon Monster III.

Uhh...little help here...waiting to see what the others do...I assume Victor has been changed and a dispel is the only remedy?

VERY sorry for the wait; may we still say I cast divine favor the round before we kicked in the door?

Nemesis stops abruptly as she enters the room and spots a conspicuously nihilistic-looking big fluffy rabbit. "My word! Impressive trick, wizard - but it cannot save you from the ASHES!" She declares as she once again flourishes her unholy symbol, which...does nothing...

Molly shows up to the Nemesis tour of her readied action. "I'll take 4 extra damage and a BOOST cup!"
...

At least, thats what happens in her imagination. She continues to BOOST her allies.

+4 To Attack and Damage Rolls!

Help Victor...i got this overgrown kitten... Valeros says as he tries to behead the cat with his shortsword.

attack, grappled, long 1: 1d20 + 15 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 15 - 2 + 4 = 301d8 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 4 = 15
attack2: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 2 + 4 = 181d8 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 4 = 21
short: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 10 - 2 + 4 = 281d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 4 = 14

does it get an AC or Dex penalty because its grappling me?

edit...revising my actions...for some reason i thought i could only use a light weapon...going full attack...my mistake...

Yep, Divine Favour pre-buff is fine.

Grimdog, Victor still has his own mind and mental stats (made thaat second save). He may still act. He's just stuck in the body of a fwuffy bunny wabbit.

Grappler and Grappled both get the grappled condition.

Valeros kills the skinless abomination.

Sucy does her magic arrow-bomb trick some more.

attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
damage: 1d8 + 2 + 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 2 + (1, 1, 5, 1) + 5 = 20

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
damage: 1d8 + 2 + 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 2 + (5, 1, 4, 2) + 5 = 26

crit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (4) + 5 = 15

Togarin begins to cast.
casting defensively: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26

And is struck by negative energy...
concentration: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

But his magic sputters out...

Sucy unleashes another volley remembering haste this time and adding missed attack from last round...

attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30
damage: 1d8 + 2 + 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 2 + (3, 6, 6, 4) + 5 = 32

attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
damage: 1d8 + 2 + 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (6, 1, 2, 3) + 5 = 20

attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
damage: 1d8 + 2 + 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (4, 4, 5, 3) + 5 = 27

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
damage: 1d8 + 2 + 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 2 + (3, 6, 2, 2) + 5 = 27

And Togarin is explodicated!

You have basically cleared the dungeon (although the smoke creature is still behind the glass and the caryatid columns in that room regenerate.

It's all just how you want to end now. Thank you, eveyone, for putting up with a very, very long, slow 'speed run'. I don't think I'll promise that again!

Well...that's gonna leave a scar or two... Valeros says as he pries the dead tiger's teeth from his side and stands up. He looks around at the remains of the wizard. He then turns to the ladies of the group.Nice work...remind me to not get on your bad sides...now...what about poor Victor here... he says as he picks up the rabbit. The rabbit kicks the warrior in the face as he gets too close.

huh...I think Victor still has his senses... he says with a laugh.

unsure if he can speak...that would be funny...

Nemesis joins Valeros in inspecting the ominous rabbit. "I happen to know that a sacred cavern, far to the north of here, is in need of a new guardian..."

”Now how do we get out of this place?”. Reesa begins searching the corpse of the powerful mage.

Nemesis joins Valeros in inspecting the ominous rabbit. "I happen to know that a sacred cavern, far to the north of here, is in need of a new guardian..."

Best back story for that critter I have ever heard.

Victor cannot talk. Dispel Magic or Mage’s Disjunction will potentially remove the effect. Victor is an NPC at this point so it’s no big deal. I’ll do a chronicle for Sucy as she did most of it.

Well....we could always keep him as a mascot....for luck...I mean he has four legs...four times the amount of luck, right?

"This math makes sense." Molly says, tilting her doll head in confusion. "I'd also like to get back to Absalom."
