Game Master Diamondust

Barnabas keeps punching:

FoB: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 = 12 Damage?: 1d6 - 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) - 1 + (1, 1) = 3
FoB: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 2 = 27 Damage?: 1d6 - 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) - 1 + (2, 3) = 9

Morthos continues the assault upon the cobra.

Longsword w/PA: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

AC 21; Hp's 33/33

Sophia keeps splashing the creatures.

Acid Splash: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 2 - 4 = 10

Timeon keeps swinging the cane.

attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Elemental Slam attack: 1d20 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 3 = 25
Damage: 1d4 + 2 + 1d3 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (2) = 7

Barnabus does some more damage to the cobra and the elemental comes in for the finishing blow. The scattered mithral scales are drawn to the stone statue in the center again.

4 more cobras remain along the southern wall as yet unactivated.

Round 6
Battle Map

Morthos calmly steps in between the two snakes, focusing his attack upon the one to his left.

10' move 2 squares directly south; Attack the one directly to his left(or *our* right) :)

Longsword w/PA: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

AC 21; Hp's 33/33

Ivy continues to Cackle, while spamming Misfortune on enemies.

Morthos step in between the next two cobras, waking them up with Barnabus flanking, the elemental and Timeon also following.

Barnabus FoB: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 2 = 19
Barnabus FoB: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 = 17

timeon attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Elemental Slam attack: 1d20 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 3 = 15

Razmir acid splash: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 1 - 4 = 3

Sophia Acid Splash: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 2 - 4 = 5 rip my rolls for you guys...

spit @ ivy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
spit @ ivy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

bite @ morthos: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6
bite @ morthos: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

spit @ sophia: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

bite @ morthos: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 = 14

Attacks fly, acid splashes, blinding venom is spat and fangs clash against armour.
Sophia make DC 11 fort or be blinded for 1d4 rounds.

Round 6
Battle Map

Morthos brings his blade around for another strike against the metallic serpent.

Longsword w/PA: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

AC 21; Hp's 33/33

Demian stares on at the back and forth between the combatants. They are doing well, right? he wonders. Maybe they need some more encouragement.

He takes a deep breath and shouts to his allies,"You're doing great crew!..sis boom bah and rah rah rah and all that!.." Obviously he lost his enthusiasm half way through...I'm sure they know what I meant. He then nods, clearly satisfied with his own effort.

Thanks for the bot.

Barnabas keeps punching away:

FoB: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 = 25 Damage: 1d6 - 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) - 1 + (1, 3) = 4 oof
FoB: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 = 12

Sophia shot off another Acid Splash.

Splash: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 2 - 4 = 17
Acid: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Morthos cuts his focus over at Demian, an eyebrow raised at the nonsense he was spilling before calmly returning his attention back to the cobra.

Timeon is not completely untrained. He finally begins to remember some of the strategies he has learned and instead of wacking on the metal cobras he instead attack to aid his 'allies'.

Timeon aid another: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 +2 to Morthos' next attack next round.

Elemental Slam attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Razmir acid splash: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 1 - 4 = 3

Some damage is done to the cobra by Morthos, Barnabus and Sophia.

Ivy hexes and cackles, reducing the cobra's chances of hitting her allies.

bite @ morthos: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12
bite @ morthos: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

bite @ morthos: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7
bite @ morthos: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 = 14
The cobras flank Morthos but are unable to get past his defenses.

Battle Map

Surprised at the effort from the squire, "Well done, Timeon. An efficient use of tactics." He states plainly, taking advantage of the assist, and strikes again at the cobra.

Longsword w/PA: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 2 + 2 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 UGH! If only I could've rolled better damage. Crud.

AC 21; Hp's 33/33

Ivy continues to Cackle

Barnabas keeps punching away:

FoB: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28 Damage?: 1d6 - 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) - 1 + (6, 1) = 10
Confrim?: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 2 = 27 Crit Damage?: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

FoB: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28 Damage?: 1d6 - 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) - 1 + (5, 2) = 8
Confrim?: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18 Crit Damage?: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Unfortunately, crits are kind of wasted on this build.

Acid continues to splash.

Acid Splash: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 2 - 4 = 18
Acid: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Acid Confirm: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 2 - 4 = -1

Giveth, taketh, etc

I'll go ahead and roll for Razmir and his elemental.

Elemental Slam attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Damage(B + electricity): 1d4 + 2 + 1d3 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (3) = 8

Razmir acid splash: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 1 - 4 = 14
Damage (acid): 1d3 ⇒ 3

Demian would probably just delay. Or, give Timeon a bit more grief. ;)

Timeon aid another: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Still mostly useless and not fully trained, the Squire tries to help.

Hits from Morthos and Barnabus take down one of the cobras.

The other cobra is hit by acid several times.
bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
It strikes back but is unable to find flesh. The mithral scales from the 7th defeated cobra slide to the centre and cover the stone cobra. It is now 70% covered.

Round 8
Battle Map

Morthos moves past the cobra and sets himself up for flanking with Squire Timeon, allowing Barnabas to flank with the elemental.

Move 10'(Which is going to draw an AoO, unfortunately) to the square that is diagonally in line with Timeon. It looks like that's the door in that square to where Morthos wants to go.

Longsword w/PA: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Razmir and his elemental
-----------------------------------------

Elemental Slam attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Damage(B + electricity): 1d4 + 2 + 1d3 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (2) = 8

Razmir will move over near Demian and throw and acid splash against a different cobra.

To avoid that -4 to hit for Razmir's acid splash, I'm gonna have him move 2 squares DIRECTLY to the right of Demian(about 25') if that's cool. Then, with the two lone cobras at the bottom of the map that have yet to be "activated", he will splash the one on the right, which would be the next target for Morthos and company once they dispatch the current one they are on.

Razmir acid splash(Ranged touch attack): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Again, I would gather Demian will simply continue to delay. If not, he can jump in at any time and do something whenever. The beauty of delay. :)

Barnabas moves to engage the next construct:

Punch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 Damage?: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

Splash continues to acid. ... wait.

Acid: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 2 - 4 = 3
Splash: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Ivy maintains her Hexes, noticing that the statue is not far off from being completely covered.

Morthos and the others almost finish off the 8th cobra.
bite morthos: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
bite morthos: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

bite morthos: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
bite morthos: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Being hexed really makes things difficult for the cobras.

The final smaller cobra is activated as globs of acid fly towards it. It spits back and then advances quickly.
spit @ Razmir: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
razmir fort vs blind: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Round 9
Battle Map

Merry Christmas and holidays to everyone! It's always a busy and crazy time but thanks for being patient. Everyone in all my games gets the 'holiday spirit' buff! All PCs and friendly NPCs are now at full HP!

Barnabas continues to punch away:

FoB: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28 damage?: 1d6 - 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) - 1 + (4, 5) = 14
Confirm?: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 2 = 22 Crit damage?: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
FoB: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24 damage?: 1d6 - 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) - 1 + (6, 2) = 9

Merry(late) Christmas, folks! :)

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

"Well done, Barnabas, we have nearly conquered these metal menaces," he states plainly. With the current cobra finished off, Morthos moves to the opposite side of the nearest one and strikes at it.

Going to move Morthos 10' to where he's standing directly on the left side of the cobra that's to his left and diagonal from him.

Longsword w/PA: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Going with my 1 reroll per room.
Longsword w/PA: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 Crap. Not quite enough. Dang. Had to try. Especially with max damage. Ah well.

AC 21; Hp's 33/33; Note to self: No more reroll for this room.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------
Razmir and his elemental
-----------------------------------------

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

The elemental moves over and attacks the newest cobra. 5' step one square to its left.

Elemental Slam attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage(B + electricity): 1d4 + 2 + 1d3 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (3) = 9

Razmir backs away and fires another glob of acid. Move 1 square directly to the right of Ivy, and then 2 squares directly north from there. He should be right in the middle of two dead cobras. The first 2 we killed as a matter of fact.

Razmir acid splash(Ranged touch attack): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Sophia doesn't notice the rumbling, but can't help see the cobra very close to her. She takes a five foot step back diagonally next to where Razmir would be, then casts at the closest one.

Acid de Splashe: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 2 - 4 = 7

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
I can do something!!

Demian, spectating the long lasting fight, notices something happening with the large cobra statue.

"Umm..guys..," he starts. "HEY! MEATSHIELDS!" he then yells to get their attention as he takes a step south to try and skirt along the wall. "Not to interrupt killing fun time, but the big statue is rumbling.."

5ft step, Full defense

Timeon moves past the elemental to continue helping Morthos.

aid Morthos Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

He does nothing of use.

Barnabus destroys the 8th cobra, its scales clattering to the floor before being drawn to the center.

The 10th cobra dodges the acid thrown its way and slithers forward. It spits some poison of its own at Razmir again.
spit @ razmir: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
spit @ razmir: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Then tries to bite Ivy.
bite @ Ivy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
bite @ Ivy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
The hex causes it to miss.

The other follows Morthos' movements and attacks.
AoO bite @ morthos: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
AoO bite @ morthos: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

bite @ morthos: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
bite @ morthos: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
The hex causes it to miss.

Round 10
Battle Map

Morthos cocks an eyebrow as he looks back to Demian before turning his focus upon the giant cobra in the middle. "I would gather we will be battling that one soon then. Be ready." Morthos continues with his assault upon the current cobra.

Longsword w/PA: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

AC 14; Hp's 26/26

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

Demian eyes the animated cobra as he carefully steps around it.

"Still rumbling, just to let you know."

5ft step south, Full defense

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Sophia pursed her lips as she notices what Demian was talking about. She takes a single step, but somehow ends up disappearing and reappearing next to Morthos in the corner.

Long Step cooldown: 1d4 ⇒ 4 rounds.

"Don't mind me, Morthos, just avoiding the rabble," she said, firing a splash at the big rumbling cobra to see what would happen.

Acid: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

"Well, I mean, that's not too surprising. I think the game here is pretty clear."

Barnabas shakes the numbness from his hands and keeps at it:

FoB: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 2 = 19 Damage?: 1d6 - 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) - 1 + (2, 6) = 11
FoB: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 = 25 Damage?: 1d6 - 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) - 1 + (3, 1) = 5

Sophia pursed her lips as she notices what Demian was talking about. She takes a single step, but somehow ends up disappearing and reappearing next to Morthos in the corner.

"Don't mind me, Morthos, just avoiding the rabble," she said, firing a splash at the big rumbling cobra to see what would happen.

Glancing over his shoulder with a raised eyebrow, Morthos looks back to the area Sophia was last standing. "Impressive, Lady Sophia. Truly a talent that will serve a greater purpose for future endeavors, I do not doubt," he states plainly.

"And Barnabas is correct, Demian. It is of no concern though, once we destroy all of the smaller ones, the larger one will come to life and we will proceed to destroy that one as well. It is all simply part of the process," he explains calmly.

The other cobra turns on Barnabus who has been damaging it the most.

Round 11
Battle Map

"...seeing Demian as no threat..."
:'(

It is true, but did you have to say it?..lol

Demian takes another step away from the nearby cobra just in case. He places a hand on the silver bracelet on his wrist and extends his braceleted hand in a sign of stop.

"Aegus," he says in a low voice. At those words the air in front of him distorts and a barely perceptible disc the size of a large shield begins floating.

5ft, cast Shield

Evading the creature's lunge, Barnabas retaliates:

FoB: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 = 11 Damage?: 1d6 - 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) - 1 + (5, 5) = 14
FoB: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14 Damage?: 1d6 - 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) - 1 + (1, 6) = 7

Off balance from his dodge, he fails to connect.

Morthos attempts to take advantage of the squire's aid and strikes at the cobra.

Longsword w/PA: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 + 2 = 12 Ugh. Of course.
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Alas, even with Timeon finally able to find success in his endeavor, Morthos fails to find purchase with his blade.

"Yes, I do have great talent, don't I?" Sophia says to Morthos, smirking.

Then acids another cobra.

Acid Splash: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

She doesn't comment on how her "great talent" means that she misses often.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

"Umm...the uhh..the eyes just opened." Demian says as he moves over to Morthos.

move to square nw adjacent to Morthos, ready to Enlarge Morthos if the big cobra begins moving its whole body.

Raising an eyebrow at Sophia's remark, Morthos keeps his focus upon the cobra and hopes to connect with his blade this time.
