Into the Desolation

Game Master Zorblag

Grimm's gaze is caught by one of the rasts, and he finds himself unable to move.

Paralysis Duration: 1d6 ⇒ 1 1 Round

The (green) azer to the west attempts to take avert its gaze from the rasts and take advantage of Tristan's closed eyes with a couple of hard strikes from its warhammer.

Avert Eyes Attempt: 1d100 ⇒ 21 Not averted
Fort save vs DC 14: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 Save
Avert Eyes Attempt: 1d100 ⇒ 1 Not averted
Fort save vs DC 14: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 Save
Avert Eyes Attempt: 1d100 ⇒ 66 Averted
Fort save vs DC 14: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Avert Eyes Attempt: 1d100 ⇒ 63Averted
Fort save vs DC 14: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Green Azer Power Attack vs AC 13: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 - 2 = 14 hit
Damage (B): 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 + 1 Fire
Green Azer Power Attack vs AC 13: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 2 = 21 hit
Damage (B): 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 + 1 Fire

18 damage total to Tristan.

The blind (orange) azer to the north of Groff continues to attack the dwarf, or at least it tries to.

Orange Azer Total Concealment miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 42 Miss
Orange Azer Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
Damage (B): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Orange Azer Total Concealment miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 7 Miss
Orange Azer Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 = 15
Damage (B): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The last (blind, yellow) azer, having seen Helgash turn his back to avoid the rasts before being hit by the burst of radiance itself, swings hard at the investigator, hoping it recalls where the half-orc is.

Yellow Azer Total Concealment miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 86 Hit
Green Azer Power Attack vs AC 20: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 12 - 2 = 26 hit
Damage (B): 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 + 1 Fire
Yellow Azer Total Concealment miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 43 Miss
Green Azer Power Attack vs AC 20: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 - 2 = 18
Damage (B): 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 + 1 Fire

11 Damage to Helgash.

The rast (dazzled, blue) that can already reach him lashes out at Groff with a flurry of limbs.

Claw Attack at Groff: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 1 = 28 Hit, no crit
Damage (B and S): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Critical Confirmation: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 - 1 = 11
Critical Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Claw Attack at Groff: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 1 = 20 Miss
Damage (B and S): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Claw Attack at Groff: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 - 1 = 11 Miss
Damage (B and S): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Claw Attack at Groff: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 1 = 23 Miss
Damage (B and S): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Groff takes 1 damage after DR.

The blinded (Yellow) rast seems confused by the situation and how to get to its foes, but the other two rasts gaze at Groff in an attempt to paralyze him.

Groff needs to make two DC 14 Fort saves to avoid paralysis. He gets a 50% chance to avoid the effect for each attack because of averted gaze (on a 0 - 50 you do not avoid the gaze, but on 51-100 you do.) This is a supernatural gaze attack.

That's a lot of rolls to make. If you see anything that looks wrong let me know. Blind characters (or characters blind to a direction) do not get Dex or Dodge to their AC and take a -2 penalty but will count armor, deflection, natural armor and shield bonuses which is now I got the AC for Helgash and Tristan.

Tristan is not pleased getting rudely attacked while his eyes are closed (not very polite of him).

Tristan averts his eyes to improve his defenses against the Azer

avert: 1d100 ⇒ 55 averted
fort vs 14: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

avert: 1d100 ⇒ 8
fort vs 14: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 save

avert: 1d100 ⇒ 71 averted
fort vs 14: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

avert: 1d100 ⇒ 22
fort vs 14: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 fail

and this is why Tristan began Inspire Courage instead of attacking last round

Tristan casts Saving Finale ending his Inspire Courage performance

fort vs 14: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 SUCCESS!

and then as a Standard action begins his Inspire courage again.

4/5 1rst lvl spells remain....12/14 performance ....his ac is normal this round

Yep, Saving Finale is amazing. Is it is our turn to act Zorblag?

And why was I just guessing yellow would decide to attack me now? I must be psychic ;)

avert%: 1d100 ⇒ 75
avert%: 1d100 ⇒ 69

Groff will continue with avert but also try to finish off the Azer to his west.

power attack, heroism, inspire courage(not sure if +1 or +2)
to hit: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 12 + 2 + 1 = 24 damage: 1d10 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 17 + 1 = 22
to hit: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 17 + 2 + 1 = 40 damage: 1d10 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 17 + 1 = 27

to confirm: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 26 damage: 1d10 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 17 + 1 = 22

If the W Azer goes downm rotate second attack to the N one. I'm fuzzy on if I need to roll a miss chance on the Azer.

I was waiting for Groff to roll the avert eyes/saves from last round, but it's your turns, yes.

@Groff, if you're averting eyes you just need to roll a miss chance when attacking rasts; all azers get normal attacks with no concealment. Having said that, you do have another 4 avert eyes/saves for the rasts to start your round before your attacks can go off. Also, the inspire courage is +1 for now.

4 more?

I must have missed something. What I saw was:

Groff needs to make two DC 14 Fort saves to avoid paralysis. He gets a 50% chance to avoid the effect for each attack because of averted gaze (on a 0 - 50 you do not avoid the gaze, but on 51-100 you do.) This is a supernatural gaze attack.

4 more would mean I have to make 6 saves vs gaze, and I cannot see how that is possible when there's only 4 rasts (that I'm not attacking).

The four more are the four you would take at the start of the round if you're averting your eyes. The two you already made were from the active gaze attacks that the ones who can't reach melee made on you last round. It's part of why I was waiting for you to make the previous two saves before starting the next round, to distinguish between the two sets of them.

*edit* If you'd rather turn your back to the rasts and be blind to things behind you then you won't have to make the saves and they'd only be able to use the gaze attack (which you would count as averting your eyes to,) if they moved around to your front first. That would make you blind to attacks from your rear though.

Grimm, Helgash and Khoran will need to deal with 4 (or 3 for Grimm) gaze saves as well if they're not blinding themselves to them.

Helgash takes the hit from the blind Azer in stride, and decides to throw some of the caution to the wind when he sees things taking a turn to the worse, and Grimm paralyzed - "We need to step this up Groff - attack those threatening to paralyze us. They need to go down" - he grunts, keeping the pressure up.

At the moment, I think the Rasts are the biggest threat.

Avert eyes: 1d100 ⇒ 3 Fail
Fort save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Avert eyes: 1d100 ⇒ 14 Fail
Fort save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Avert eyes: 1d100 ⇒ 70 Success

Avert eyes: 1d100 ⇒ 75 Success

Swift study on the green Azer (the one attacking Tristan) if it still stands. If it has been taken down, I attack yellow.

Rapier, Icy Burst: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
Damage if it hits: 1d6 + 13 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 13 + 3 + (6) = 25 // 6 points of cold damage

Was that a CRIT?: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
Additional damage if it was: 1d6 + 13 + 3 + 1d6 + 1d10 ⇒ (1) + 13 + 3 + (4) + (9) = 30

Really having a hard time capitalizing on that icy burst...

----------

AC: 30
HP: 47/58
Effects: Arcane Pool (Icy Burst), Mutagen, Shield, Bless, Inspire Courage, Studied Foe (Green Azer)

Also, I have been forgetting this:

avert: 1d100 ⇒ 52
avert: 1d100 ⇒ 54
avert: 1d100 ⇒ 30
avert: 1d100 ⇒ 23

fort save: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 2 = 21
fort save: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 2 = 21

Groff avoids the rasts' gazes once more and hits the azer to his west once. When it doesn't go down he hits it again, harder and this time, and it falls.

Helgash, throwing one sort of caution to the wind analyzes and then stabs at the azer to the east, risking and avoiding the rast gazes. He hits, but does not find a critical spot. I think you should be getting +15 on your hit with a studied foe, and the cold damage isn't rolled again on a hit (though the 1d10 for icy burst would be clearly.)

Rolling the opportune Parry and Riposte ahead of time is a good idea, like with AoO you expect. It'll kick in on the first attack that comes your way regardless of whether it hits (from the Yellow azer in this case, but generally from where ever.) Just be aware that it'll eat your AoO and, if you make the riposte, your immediate action (so your swift action for the next turn.)

Also, I should have had Khoran roll SR for the azers on the blinding radiance last turn, but I forgot, so we'll just let it go through at this point. Please if possible on your end remember that if you're casting a spell or using a spell-like ability on the azers you need to roll to overcome their SR in addition to whatever else is involved in the spell.

Averting his eyes, Grimm will cast glitterdust on the one azer and four rasts to the east of Groff (Will DC 17).

1d100 ⇒ 58; high is good
1d100 ⇒ 83
1d100 ⇒ 67
1d100 ⇒ 31; fail

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23; saved

CL check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Grimm, perhaps having discovered the trick from his previous attempt, manages to avoid the gazes of the rasts this time and causes an explosion of glitter to erupt in their midst.

The azer and the yellow rast can't become blinded as they're already blinded, but it works just fine on the other three. Also, thanks for rolling the SR, that makes my life much easier! (Though for this particular spell it turns out SR doesn't apply.)

Blue Rast will save vs DC 17: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 Blinded
Green Rast will save vs DC 17: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 Blinded
Brown Rast will save vs DC 17: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 Saved

Ok, my current damage count is:
Tristan: 18
Groff: 21??
Helgash: 11 6 (Shield master with your protector familiar).
This is a survivable level...but I better not get paralyzed in case, So

Khoran uses his shield to completely cover his head from the general direction of the Rasts, and uses a hex on the northern (orange) azer.

standard action - Silkstring Snare on the Orange Azer - DC 17 reflex save or be entangle and anchored to the spot.

Coal is in Helgash's backpack, not touching him and so shield master won't apply. In general though if a familiar isn't going to be out participating in the fight then it's combat benefits don't apply.

I'm tracking everyone's hit points on the fist maps and handouts slide (it looks like you're missing at least the first round hit to Tristan in your calculations, and a 1 hp hit to Groff.)

Using your shield to cover your head will count as averting your eyes as it's not turning your back to them completely.

Khoran successfully shields his eyes from the rasts for now and attempts to bind the azer to the north.

azer reflex save vs DC 17: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 saves.

The azer avoids the silkstring snare hex and then swings its warhammer once more at where it believes Groff to be.

Orange Azer Total Concealment miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 80 hit
Orange Azer Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31 hit
Damage (B): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Orange Azer Total Concealment miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 98 hit
Orange Azer Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 miss
Damage (B): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

3 damage to Groff after DR.

The other azer takes another pair of swings at Helgash, assuming he hasn't changed position.
Yellow Azer Total Concealment miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 91 hit
Yellow Azer Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 parried
Damage (B): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Yellow Azer Total Concealment miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 44 miss
Yellow Azer Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Damage (B): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The first attack does find Helgash, but he parries and ripostes, stabbing the creature instead.

The rast already within reach of Groff lashes out with it's claws, hoping it's attacks will find their target despite being unable to see it.

Blue Rast Total Concealment miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 58 hit
Blue Rast Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 miss
Damage (B and S): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Blue Rast Total Concealment miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 30 miss
Blue Rast Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Damage (B and S): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Blue Rast Total Concealment miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 30 miss
Blue Rast Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Damage (B and S): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Blue Rast Total Concealment miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 70 hit
Blue Rast Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 miss
Damage (B and S): 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Will save vs DC 17: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Missing completely, it at least succeeds in shaking off the blind condition from the glitterdust.

The Rast which had been blinded by the burst of radiance and the one that resisted both the burst and the glitterdust fly towards the now open spots in the corner, allowing Groff to take a swing at one as it passes.

Groff can make an AoO at the yellow (or brown if he prefers) rast, but will have a 20% miss chance do to diverting his eyes.

Once in position the Rast adjacent to him attempts to bit Khoran while the one further back gazes at the shaman.

Yellow Rast Bite attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 miss
Damage (B, P and S): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Khoran needs to make one DC 14 Fort save to avoid paralysis. He gets a 50% chance to avoid the effect for each attack because of averted gaze (on a 0 - 50 you do not avoid the gaze, but on 51-100 you do.) This is a supernatural gaze attack.

The final Rast drifts north and tries to shake off the blindness from the glitterdust, but otherwise does not act.

Green Rast Will save vs DC 17: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 saves

It's intentional glare in your direction would evidence that it can now see you once again were any of you not diverting your eyes.

Also, delaying until other have acted - I suspect I want to heal Tristan this round (he' s down 29 and is in reach of a rast right now), and I might be able to avoid an AoO this way...

AOO: to hit: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 2 + 1 = 16 damage: 1d10 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 17 + 1 = 24 miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 82 nevermind

avert: 1d100 ⇒ 98
avert: 1d100 ⇒ 29

fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

well this is quite annoying... I was hoping to use the saving finale spells to save the teams bacon... Instead I'm using all my actions to save myself... Frustrating

Tristan casts his 2nd Saving Finale (immediate)
fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

And fails his save blah

(sarc)Well, so much for healing Tristan, he's not gonna help this fight...(/sarc)

he has been somewhat useful in being a target of attacks that otherwise would have been directed at others... But that's about it

Groff misses with his swing at the passing rast, but does manage to avoid the gaze of either it or its companions. You still have your attacks for this round to make.

Tristan on the other hand isn't so lucky and ends up locking eyes with the Rast in front of him. Despite sending his inspiring song to a fevered pitch he finds himself unable to move for the moment.

Groff

Khoran uses his shield to completely cover his head from the general direction of the Green and Blue Rasts, and averts his gaze from the Brown Rast while trying to hex it.

standard action - Silkstring Snare on the Brown Rast - DC 17 reflex save or be entangle and anchored to the spot.

Edit: I may or may not be paralyzed by blue, depending on the GM's ruling.

The shield will still count as averting your eyes, and based on the positioning you won't be able to turn your back on the other rasts and still target the brown one with the hex, so in this case you are paralyzed.

Paralysis Duration: 1d6 ⇒ 2 2 Rounds

Khoran, though trying to be careful to avoid the gaze of the rasts is caught by one of their glares and finds his body unable to move. Despite this, and without moving at all he still manages to attempt to ensnare the nearest rast with his hex.

Reflex save vs DC 17: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

The targeted Rast is captured by the silk strands, but reacts by using it's claws to attempt to free itself and then attack Groff.

Power Attack Claw vs Silkstring Snare: 1d20 + 9 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 2 - 2 = 24
Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Power Attack Claw vs Silkstring Snare: 1d20 + 9 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 2 - 2 = 20
Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Power Attack Claw vs Groff: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 - 2 = 17
Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Power Attack Claw vs Groff: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 - 2 = 14
Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

It breaks free of it's snare, but fails to hit Groff.

The remaining azer also attacks Groff, assuming he's still where he was to get hit last round.

Orange Azer Total Concealment miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 28 miss
Orange Azer Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
Damage (B): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Orange Azer Total Concealment miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 2 miss
Orange Azer Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Damage (B): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

The rast not engaged with anyone at the moment flies to the newly paralyzed party members and tries to take a bite out of Khoran.

Groff will get an Attack of Opportunity on the Green Rast as it passes

Green Rast Power Attack Bite vs Khoran: 1d20 + 8 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 4 - 2 = 21 hit
Damage (B, P and S): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Succeeding with its bite, it attempts to grapple the shaman with it's many tentacles.

Green Rast Grapple vs Khoran: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15 grappled

The grapple succeeds, and Khoran feels his vitality draining away as the rast feasts on his blood, it's mouth still on the wound it created.

Constitution Drain: 1d2 ⇒ 2 2 points constitution drain. Current and permanent HP are reduced by 7 as a result.

The final rast casts a baleful gaze at Helgash, attempting to meet his gaze and paralyze him.

Helgash needs to make one DC 14 Fort save to avoid paralysis. He gets a 50% chance to avoid the effect for each attack because of averted gaze (on a 0 - 50 you do not avoid the gaze, but on 51-100 you do.) This is a supernatural gaze attack.

@Groff, I hate to do it again, but you'll need to roll for the three gazes before those attacks can go through.

fort save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

ok, paralyzed

The degree to which I hate this encounter, and the last one know no bounds.

avert: 1d100 ⇒ 80
avert: 1d100 ⇒ 55
avert: 1d100 ⇒ 80

Tristan shakes off the paralysis and begins Inspiring again (+1, standard action)

Grimm averts his eyes and attempts to fire his wand at the green rast.

1d100 ⇒ 8; fail
1d100 ⇒ 84
1d100 ⇒ 61

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12; paralyzed

Tristan ends his Inspire performance with a flourish
Saving Finale giving Groff another save

That's Saving Finale #3 for this encounter and the first one not on himself

That wouldn't work at a live table given initiative order, but given that we need to be more flexible for online I'll allow it, sure.

Well, I can't avert eyes anymore and I am stuck with purely mental actions...

Khoran focuses his will and hexes the green Rast that is eating his head, DC17, Silkstring snare...

Fort Save Brown: 1d20 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 9
2 shaman +2 con +1 resistance
Fort Save Green: 1d20 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 14
Fort Save Blue: 1d20 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 21

You're already paralyzed by the gaze, so you don't need to save against it again until you're free from it. There's nothing in the effect about adding to the duration with future applications.

Paralysis Duration Groff: 1d6 ⇒ 2 2 Rounds
Paralysis Duration Grimm: 1d6 ⇒ 2 2 Rounds

Green Rast reflex save vs DC 17: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 - 2 = 11 Fails

The degree to which I hate this encounter, and the last one know no bounds.

Yeah, encounters that simply have you making a ton of 'save or suck' saves are not very interesting. Even more so if/when you do not have the slightest chance to gather information regarding what you are about to face. But this is Frog God Games so I guess it is expected.

Avert Eyes?: 1d100 ⇒ 31
Fort Save: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 9 + (1) = 14

I went to the trouble of calculating, and the probability of both Avert eyes and the Saving Throw failing is 12,5%. Yet it keeps happening. And another 2 points of Inspiration spent ffs. 2/6 left.

Zorblag before I post, did Groff's attacks take any of the Rasts down by any chance?

fort save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Groff and Grimm both succumb to the rasts gazes and Tristan tries to assist Groff, but the look is just too compelling. Khoran, unable to move his body still, does manage to ensnare the rast that has grabbed him.

Helgash is within range of 3 rasts at the start of the turn for gazes.

I went to the trouble of calculating, and the probability of both Avert eyes and the Saving Throw failing is 12,5%. Yet it keeps happening.

Avert?: 1d100 ⇒ 10 Fail

Yeah, there really is nothing to do against this. The encounter being what it is + my luck. 6 Fort saves and 4 fails when all you need is a 5, is just... Forget it.

Helgash catches a rast's gaze as well and finds himself unable to move like Khoran, Grim and Groff.

duration: 1d6 ⇒ 5 5 rounds

The azer, still blind, doesn't realize that Groff is now paralyzed and continues to its attack, still guess at the dwarf's location.

2 total damage to Groff

The rast grappling Khoran attempts to maintain its grapple.

Green Rast Maintain Grapple: 1d20 + 12 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 5 = 27 Succeeds
Free Bite attack: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Being held in place by the silkstring snare, the rast wraps its various tentacles and claws tighter around Khoran instead of dragging him off. At the same time it draws more blood from the shaman.

Khoran gains the pinned condition.
Constitution Drain: 1d2 ⇒ 1 Khoran's Constitution to 11. Current and permanent HP are reduced by another 7.

The remaining rasts move to Groff and Helgash, attempting to bite them, and intending to grapple them and drain the their blood.

Brown Rast Power Attack Bite vs Groff: 1d20 + 8 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 4 - 2 = 14 hit

Damage (B, P and S): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Groff's armor protects him from the bite, but the other rast does find Helgash's flesh.

Blue Rast Grapple vs Helgash: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29 Success

Having grappled its victim, the rast begins to drain Helgash's blood.

Tristan and Khoran are within range of 3 rasts at the start of the turn for gazes.

Are we bothering to roll this out? Also, what effect does blinded have on CMB checks(to break a pin)?

Blind would not have any effect on grapple attempts or attempts to break grapple or pin (it denies Dex to AC, but not CMD, and normally Dex doesn't factor into CMB to start with.)

Khoran closes his eyes and fights to break the pin...

Break Pin: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
+5 bab

Khoran strains against the rast's grasping claws and teeth, but fails to break free from the tight grip.

Tristan, trying hard to do something to help the situation, unforunately the rasts gaze seems omnipresent now and he succumbs it once more.

Paralysis Duration: 1d6 ⇒ 3 3 rounds.

The azer blinks its eyes, the blindness finally wearing off, and smiles at the paralyzed dwarf in front if it. For the sixth round in a row it swings at its armored target, though this time it puts its back into the swings in a way it hasn't before.

Orange Azer Power Attack: 1d20 + 12 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 4 - 2 = 26 hit
Damage (B): 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 + 1 fire

14 total damage to Groff after DR.

The rast that has Khoran entangled attempts to keep him in it's grasp and continue to feed.

Green Rast Maintain Grapple: 1d20 + 12 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 12 + 5 = 32 success
Free Bite damage (B, P and S): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

The grapple continues and the rast continues to feed.

Constitution Drain: 1d2 ⇒ 2 Khoran's Constitution to 9. Current and permanent HP are reduced by another 7.

The rast that attacked Groff last time makes another attempt to bite, trying to find an angle that will get past the tough armor.

Brown Rast Power Attack Bite vs Groff: 1d20 + 8 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 4 - 2 = 25
Damage (B, P and S): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

7 Damage after DR.

This time it finds a vulnerable spot, and having hit attempts to grapple the helpless dwarf.

The rast wraps the dwarf up and starts to draw blood.

Constitution Drain: 1d2 ⇒ 1 Groff's Constitution to 13. Current and permanent HP are reduced by another 7.

Free Bite damage (B, P and S): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

The rast wraps Helgash tighter in it's writhing claws and teeth, pinning the half orc as it once more feeds on his blood.
