Rise of the Runelords - Shadow_Fox

Game Master Shadow_Fox

RL, I was about to post that Red walks into the room with his javelin in hand. Is that ok? If so, he launches it at a goblin:
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Shel moved 20’ closer to the goblins, ready to make them pay for their crimes.

Could someone move me, please?

Shel moved 20’ closer to the goblins, ready to make them pay for their crimes.

Could someone move me, please?

Done - you are in melee range next round.

Bending his bow as he realizes what is in the room, Perri looses a shaft at the closer goblin without somebody in reach of it.

Longbow w/ PBS: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 = 11
Piercing w/ PBS: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Ew. Looks like a really powerful shot that missed.

Surprise Round:

With rapier in hand, Rîleth swiftly followed Shel into the room and moved (25 ft) closer to the goblin opposite (and across the room from) Shel.

Red's javelin hits the wall, while Perri's arrow sticks out of a goblin's leather armor without harming the creature.

Initiative:
Perri: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
Red: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Rileth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Shel: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Goblins: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Everyone except Red goes first!

Round 1

Taking a 5ft step, Rîleth called upon Desna's wisdom to guide her weapon true (Archaeologist's Luck, swift action) and attempted to pierce the foul creature with her rapier.

Rapier Attack with AL and FF on goblin before her: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 2 = 20
Damage with AL & FF, if hits: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7

(Archaeologist's Luck : 1 round out of 5.)

Shel moves forward and tries to skewer the goblin closest to her.

Rapier versus flatfooted 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Damage 1d4 ⇒ 3 plus
1d6 ⇒ 4 sneak attack damage

Possible Crit 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Damage 1d4 ⇒ 2

As always, if someone would be kind enough to scoot me ahead on the map. Thanks.

Both females skewer their respective goblins with their respective rapiers. Six goblins left. Perri is up.

Perri moves up behind Shel, targeting the closest standing goblin as he pulls and releases again.

Longbow w/ PBS: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 = 11
Piercing w/ PBS: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

The arrow catches the goblin near center mass, but the goblin was turned enough that it simply skittered across the surface of his armor instead of managing to do it any harm.

"Red? This isn't gong the same way it goes on the practice range! Can we get a little help up here?"

The gglins see their brethren killed and their singing and laughing stop. Their cries turn to anger. "Kill the longshanks and the girl!" 5 of the goblins rush forward, while the goblin furthest in the back runs through the doors at the end of the room hooting and hollering out of sight.

Round 1: Goblins!
Three of the goblins draw their short bows and shoot Perri, who is clearly equipped with a bow in hand, and Red. The red-haired barbarian catches an arrow in the thigh that draws blood.

Perri Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 --- miss
Perri Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 --- miss
Red attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

The other 2 goblins attack, one on Rileth and one on Shel, with their short swords. The goblin on Rileth comes low on her trying to slash her knees, but the bard deflects the blow with her rapier!
Rileth Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 --- miss

The one near Shel jumps on the table and rushes next to her and slashes at the halfling, taunting her, "I am taller than you now!" The quick rogue, however, ducks the blow.
She Attack: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 1 = 15 --- miss

Red to close the Round and then the party in Round 2.

"Owwww!" The barbarian looks at his bloody wound. Red moves next to Rileth, drawing his battleaxe, and swings at the goblin attacking her.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

The goblin deftly dodges the barbarian's blow.
Melee Goblins with shields are AC 16. Rest of party is up in Round 2.

Round 2:

Acro to move 1/2 spd through threatened space with AL & FF: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 = 14

If successful...

Rîleth with graceful, acrobatic maneuvers moved 10 ft to stand on the other side of the goblin, now flanking it with Red.

Then she attacked the goblin with her rapier,

Rapier Attack with AL and FF and flank on goblin: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 + 2 = 16
Damage with AL & FF, if hits: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 = 8

(Archaeologist's Luck : 2nd round out of 5.)

With all the jockeying for position going on, and movement about the field, Perri decides his best shot is at the goblin on the worktable in front of him, trying to hurt Shel. Again the bow bends in what seems to be becoming a futile effort to help on Perri's part . . ..

Longbow w/ PBS: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 1 = 13
Piercing w/ PBS: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

True to displayed form, the arrow fails to penetrate the goblin's protection and actually harm it. Perri lets out a visceral growl of frustration.

Rileth skillfully tumbles around the goblin and its friend on the table, leaving the goblin with its mouth agape, before piercing her rapier through its brain killing it instantly.
Goblin CMD 12 so even with +2 from goblin on table, acrobatics skill was successful. Well done! Hero Point for you!

Perri's arrow fails to connect...

Goblin CMD 12 so even with +2 from goblin on table, acrobatics skill was successful. Well done! Hero Point for you!

Thank you so much, GM! :)

Shel swings at the goblin on the table in front of her, trying to slice and dice it.

Rapier 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Damage 1d4 ⇒ 1

Round 2: Goblins:
The goblin on top of the table swings at Shel, after having deflected her blow, and cuts her.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 2 + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Two goblins drop their bows and draw their short swords and attack Rileth. "You like flippin' around, try my blade!" But they miss poorly.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

The 4th goblin shoots Red, but fails to penetrate the bear hide he wears.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Party is up starting with Red. 4 goblins left!

Red moves to the nearest goblin attacking Rileth and brings his battleaxe down on the goblin's head, but misclaculates and hits the table instead.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Dice luck not with me this fight.

Round 3

Lunging with her rapier, Rîleth attempted to pierce the heart of the goblin directly in front of her.

Rapier Attack with AL and FF on nearest goblin: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 2 = 20
Damage with AL & FF, if hits: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5

and then made an acrobatic maneuver to tumble passed (10ft) the goblin she just attacked to stand on its other side.

Acro to move 1/2 spd through threatened space with AL & FF (CMD 12): 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12

(Archaeologist's Luck : 3rd round out of 5.)

Shel grits her teeth in pain as the little bastard struck true. She keeps swinging at the goblin on the table in front of her.

Rapier 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Damage 1d4 ⇒ 4

Round 3

Lunging with her rapier, Rîleth attempted to pierce the heart of the goblin directly in front of her.

[dice=Rapier Attack with AL and FF on nearest goblin]1d20+3+2
[dice=Damage with AL & FF, if hits]1d6+1+2

and then made an acrobatic maneuver to tumble passed (10ft) the goblin she just attacked to stand on its other side.

[dice=Acro to move 1/2 spd through threatened space with AL & FF (CMD 12)]1d20+3+2

(Archaeologist's Luck : 3rd round out of 5.)

Rileth's strike is true, but it does not kill the goblin, who is barely standing. You cannot tumble through a threatened square, like last round, since both goblins are up and they are blocking your path. To tumble through an enemy's space, the DC is 5+CMD+2. You may want to stay where you are.

Shel grits her teeth in pain as the little bastard struck true. She keeps swinging at the goblin on the table in front of her.

Rapier 1d20+4
Damage 1d4

Shel wounds the goblin in the knee, but it is still alive. Perri is up - hope you have better luck with die rolls.

Meh. Long term the die rolls will average out. It can become fun to bemoan a character "always" having trouble with certain things, though. Perri will "suddenly" get better with the bow at 3rd level, assuming he doesn't die from ineptitude before then.

Seeing the one on the table still standing, Perri tries again to put some feathers in it's chest.

Longbow w/ PBS: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7
Piercing w/ PBS: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

This arrow flies high, over the goblin's head, however, showing anyone who knows about archery that Perri jumped, lifting his bow arm as he loosed the arrow . . ..

Round 3: Goblins
The wounded goblin on top of the table tries to stab Shel, but the rogue evades the blow.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 2 + 1 = 14

The other wounded goblin tries to stab Rileth, but misses.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

The fresh goblin tries to stab Red, but the blow is deflected by the barbarian's shield.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

The goblin with the bow shoots Perri, but loosens his aim to high and the arrow sails over the human's head.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Ineffective round. Red and party are up in Round 4.

The little halfling was starting to get tired. She and the goblin on the table were both trading ineffective blows. She closed her eyes and lunges forward with her blade at the ready.

Rapier 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage 1d4 ⇒ 1

Red swings at the fresh goblin, who attacked him, but miscalculates again. "Damn buggers!"
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Round 4

The wounded goblin's attack on her had missed, yet it propelled her frustration and eagerness for the creature to die.

Once again, Rîleth lunged at the goblin she injured recently, hoping to pierce it right through this time.

Rapier Attack with AL and FF on goblin she injured last round: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8
Damage with AL & FF, if hits: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7

However, in her heated eagerness, she missed the mark; her rapier scraping across its armour and not finding quarry.

(Archaeologist's Luck : 4th round out of 5.)

You have GOT to be kidding me! How much tougher can these goblins be than the ones from the festival? Perri's eyebrows crush together as his frustration starts to become worry. Even so he looses another shaft at the closest goblin, willing this not to be simple insanity on his part.

Longbow w/ PBS: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 2 + 1 = 22
Piercing w/ PBS: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Shel wounds her assailant again and Perri's arrow strikes the goblin on top of the table, who topples over dead!

Round 4: Goblins
With their numbers dwindling, the goblin with the bow takes a shot at Perri and moves back 30 feet. "Boys, we need to get the Boss, let's get out of here!"
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

The other 2 goblins take swings at Red and Rileth, one missing and one landing a grievous blow to the bard's thigh.
Attack on Red: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13 --- miss
Attack on Rileth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Confirmation: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 --- yes
Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4

The goblins attempt to move back 30' triggering AoO from their combatants.

As the goblins attempt a strategic retreat, the goblin who fled before re-enters the room quite cocky, "Oh you're all in deep trouble now! The Boss is here now and he's gonna kill you all!" Behind the goblin, steps in a 6' tall unarmored half-elf, clearly of Minkai descent, wielding a shorbow. "Ahhh intruders....the heroes of Sandpoint, come to ruin another of my plans for this forsaken town or here to save my sis? Either way, your journey ends here!"

Tsuto

After AoOs from Red and Rileth, party is up! Map updated on Roll20.

AoO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14..never mind!

Upon seeing the half-elf, Red growls "What have you done to nice owner of Rusty Dragon?"

Rîleth felt the goblin's blade slice deep into her thigh and she grimaced - her ire growing with the pain.

As the goblin closest her attempted to move away, she lunged her rapier, hoping to finish it off for its offense against her and its retreat.

AoO on goblin with AL & FF: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 2 = 21
Damage, if hits: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9

====

Behind the goblin, steps in a 6' tall unarmored half-elf, clearly of Minkai descent, wielding a shorbow. "Ahhh intruders....the heroes of Sandpoint, come to ruin another of my plans for this forsaken town or here to save my sis? Either way, your journey ends here!""

At the entrance of the half-sibling of Ameiko, and the blood dripping down her thigh, Rîleth answered his bravado, with a smile that did not quite reach her eyes and a steady voice, "Tsuto, if our journey is to end here this day, then may it be with my blade tasting your blood."

Round 4:

As his action, Red double moves 40' to get within melee range of the goblins. "I'm comin' for ya, bro."

Rileth's AoO skewers the goblin's spine and it falls dead at her feet.

Tsuto smiles at Rileth's words, "What feisty bravado coming from a lowly...woman..." He spits the words out at the end. As for Red, he laughs, "You can't even hit goblins and you want me, a skilled practitioner of the Minkai arts, to be worried? Stop fleeing you fools and kill them. I have your back." Tsuto holds his shortbow with one hand and the other he keeps at his side, until it is time to attack.

Perri, Shel, and Rileth are up in Round 5.

Shel moves up forward 40’, standing side by side with Red to take on the remaining goblins.

Could someone move me, please?

Perri scoots forward before loosing another shaft at the closest goblin, the one between Shel and Red.

Deadeye Bowman lets me ignore soft cover from one ally, so I think I'm clear for the shot.

Longbow w/ PBS: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 1 = 19
Piercing w/ PBS: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Perri tries to taunt the half-elf. "Stay right there, I'm sure Red will be happy to give you a closer view of his axe."

A grievous shot, Perri wounds the fleeing goblin, but it still stands.

Round 5:

The Half-Elf's words which meant to belittle her only emboldened Rîleth, and irrespective of the bleeding wound on her thigh she moved forward 20ft and lunged at the wounded goblin before her and Shel; hoping the rapier would pierce it through like it had done with its brethren.

Rapier Attack on nearest wounded goblin with AL & FF: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15
Damage, if hits: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 2 = 6

(Archaeologist's Luck : 5th round out of 5. Expended after this round.)

Round 5: Goblins and Tsuto

Rileth barely misses the goblin. The goblin strikes back at her, cutting her in the arm with its short sword.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22 --- Threat
Confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 --- No
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

The other goblin with a bow takes a 5' step back and shoots Red, but it bounces off his shield!
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

The goblin who just returned maniacally rushes at Red, but misses by a mile.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Tsuto moves up, oversees the scene, and decides to shoot Perri. "Time to shut up, gypsy boy." The arrow strikes as true as the skill of the wielder, penetrating Perri's shoulder.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Red to end Round 5 and then the party up in Round 6.

Round 5:

Red is frustrated and has has enough. He rushes past the goblins until he steps in front of Tsuto. "How you do this to your father and your own sister, your clan?! That pisses me off!" He then rages as a free action, drops his shield and axe as free action, and draws his greatsword and brings it down on the half-elf.

Raging Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 2 = 17
Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (2, 5) + 9 = 16
Rage rounds: 1/5 used
AC: 19 while incurring AoOs and now 14
HPs: 12/15 while raging

Realizing that the party is in desperate straits, the barbarian tries a risky move and gets nicked once for a minor wound. 2 AoO as one of the goblins is holding a bow.

AoO: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 --- hit
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1
AoO: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 --- miss

The barbarian's raging blow is true as the 2-handed sword inflicts a serious wound on the Minkai half-elf, causing him to scream in pain!
-16 hps.

Shel, Perri, and Rileth are up.

Round 6

Shel slices at the goblin directly in front of her. She was hoping to finish it off, so the group could focus on Ameiko’s apparently evil half brother.

Rapier 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage 1d4 ⇒ 2

Shel plunges the rapier into the goblin's gut and it pauses as it looks at the halfling in her eyes, then it looks down at its wound, and then it collapses dead as its eyes close forever.

Round 6:

Gaining a new, albeit small, wound on her hand, made Rîleth pause momentarily and reconsider healing herself before she continued in battle.

Calling upon her goddess' grace and compassion and casting quietly, Rîleth laid her free hand to the side of the gaping wound in her thigh.

CLW on herself: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The wound on her hand and a small section of the gash on her thigh knitted over; however, she was still injured.

(Returning 3 pts of health to herself. Rîleth's HP is now 7/9. 1 first level spell remaining this day.)

For now, Rîleth remained in place; watching the battle, rapier in hand, keeping out of immediate danger, until she found the correct time to throw herself back into battle.

Bump for Perri.

Don't need to bump. Just needed to get to my next time in front of the 'puter at home.

Perri moves up, again, before trying to feather the goblin next to Red, trying to lighten the threat against him as best possible.

Longbow w/ PBS: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9
Piercing w/ PBS: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

But again, the shaft skitters pointlessly away from the target.

It was just a friendly reminder, Perri. :)

Round 6: Goblins and Tsuto

One goblin moves 5' to set up a flank with Tsuto and holds his attack until Tsuto moves in with the flank, but misses poorly.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 = 5

The goblin with the bow shoots Perri, but misses.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Tsuto grimaces at the wound inflicted by Red. "You primitive bastard, how dare you touch me!" He moves 5' to flank Red, takes a deep breath, and looks at the barbarian with laser focus, before unleashing 2 rapid kicks to Red's nerve points, one of which connects, inflicting excruciating pain on the barbarian!

Flurry attack #1: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 = 14 --- hit
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (2) = 7 with sneak attack
Red has to make DC 14 Fort save or be stunned from Stunning Fist
Flurry attack #2: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 = 13 --- miss

Red to finish Round 6 and then party in Round 7.

Fort save with rage: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 2 = 15

Round 6:
Damn flank! Red realized he was vulnerable to Tsuto's multiple attacks. He had to end the fight quick. He swung his sword again, but the crafty half-elf avoided damage.
Raging Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 14
HP: 5/15 while raging
AC: 14
Rage rounds used: 2/5

"Move past him, Red!" Perri tries to help Red think about protecting himself, before loosing another shaft to actually assist. He hopes.

Longbow w/ PBS: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5
Piercing w/ PBS: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Man. You would expect more than 1 good shot per combat, wouldn't you?

But Perri flinched as the goblin archer's arrow came close, and his shot flew between Rileth and the goblin, and out the window.
