Thirteen Kingdoms: Tharbenia

Game Master Nathanael Love

Round 2

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 the door is swing open and a burning hands cast, but it could only hit one of the gnomes and he dodge part of it.

Griselda attempts to grapple, but the size large spriggan is too strong for her!

Relzak steps into the door, and the two small sized ones unload their crossbows at him! This is off readied attacks
Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 8 - 4 = 14
Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 4 = 21 one hit!
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Then he strikes hard at one of the size large ones!

Eldric steps in and hits the other large one! They are not flat footed so no sneak attack here

The size large swing at Eldric:
Morningstar: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 hit!
Damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 6) + 5 = 14

And Relzak:
Morningstar: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 Parry fails, but still misses (actually, thanks to bless that would match 14- but there's the -2 for size difference so it still narrowly does not parry)

The size small ones cast scare (DC 12 Will) at Eldric and Relzak.

The Spriggan Lord stands back, morningstar readied to attack anyone foolish enough to move to him.

Turn order:
1. Spriggans
2. Handerbald
3. Griselda
4. Relzak
5. Eldric
6. Ghostwind

Status:
Red: -12
Blue: -10

Relzak: 33/36
Eldric: 27/39

Ghostwind still has his round 2 action so he can act for both rounds and everyone else can act for round 3; remember bless is up for +1 to hit/damage

Griselda seeing her allies be attacked switches to healing

CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Her hair begins to glow and passes over Eldric's wound to deliver the healing

So it seems the door actually opens.

Ghostwind swiftly enchants his sword with magical power, then enters the dwelling only to find two large faes warding the door. He takes advantage from the cover given by the doorstep to close in on one of them and invokes his deadly energies.

Concentration DC 15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Spellstrike Arcane Mark, Bless: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 1 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Regular attack, Bless: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Critical Confirmation: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 = 18
Potential Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Round 3

The assassin keeps chopping his enemy's flesh.

Spellstrike Arcane Mark, Bless: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Regular Attack, Bless: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 1 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Critical Confirmation: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 = 13
Potential Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

14 damage, -2 DR -8 healing, 4 wounds

Hit: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Ki Hit: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Hit: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

The force of the blow sent Eldric bouncing off of the wall. He had little to no space to maneuver, so instead could only throw a pair of desperate punches.

Relzak leaps into the room, his eagerness earning him a minor cut across his ribs. He nimbly dodges another swing from the over-sized gnome-man, and further into the room, a gnome-sized gnome-man attacks Relzak's zeal with magic!

Will+Bless: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8
Will2+Bless: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 = 14 <--Reroll allowed once per day due to Tenacious racial trait

But he is Relzak, known to the common people of Tharbenia as the Fearless Warrior! He is not afraid!

He tries to dart through the legs of gnome-giant to his right to flank it with Eldric...

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 = 11

...But he is unable to do so. He opts to hack at it, instead.

Attack+Bless: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 1 = 13
Damage+Bless: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

Sorry, is this a special Bless that grants a bonus to damage? If so, please adjust the damage from Ghostwind's attack above.

Good point. I was going with the last line of this post.

Round 2
Handerbald casts guidance on Eldric.

Griselda cures Eldric.

Relzak misses.

Eldric hits three times, finishing the (formerly red) Spriggan.

With several quick attack, Ghostwind finishes the (formerly blue) Spriggan!

Round 3
The small spriggans cast a pair of flare spells at Eldric and Ghostwind. DC 10 fort or become dazzled for 1 minute

The Spriggan Lord charges Relzak
Morningstar, Charge, Power Attack, Furious Focus: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 2 = 27
Damage: 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (6, 6) + 11 = 23

Turn order:
1. Spriggans
2. Handerbald
3. Griselda
4. Relzak
5. Eldric
6. Ghostwind

Status:

Relzak: 10/36
Eldric: 35/39

Handerbald can either use Leap of the Heavens to send one of you to the otherside to flank without provoking, or can use cure light (d8+3) on Relzak

That brings up the party again!

Guidance Fort: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8

"Dazzled: The creature is unable to see well because of over-stimulation of the eyes. A dazzled creature takes a –1 penalty on attack rolls and sight-based Perception checks."

Bless: +1 Hit, Dazzled: -1 Hit

Hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Ki Hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Add +2 if flanking. Up to Relzak, I think, on whether he wants the heal or the flank.

Suddenly everything went bright, as a display of flashing lights overtook Eldric's sight. Narrowing his eyes against the sensory overload, Eldric stepped forward and let loose a collection of punches and kicks, all of which were made difficult to land given how hard it was to see.

2, 9, 8, 2...could I get some new dice, please?

i think he's gonna need both heals before continuing then he can attempt to flank by acrobatics maybe

Griselda sees Relzak take a massive hit so she decides to heal him as well

CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

we need to deal with those spellcasters is there another way into the cabin maybe another window i could reach one of them from outside?

Yes, I'll take the heal(s), thanks.

Bloodied, but not broken, Relzak tries to dance around the remaining large spriggan so that it's surrounded.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Whether he's successful or not, he strikes!

Attack+Bless: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
If that hits, then apply the Menacing Swordplay deed to demoralize
Intimidate: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Since the Acrobatics fails and minimum damage on his hit is the same as maximum damage on cure light, I'm going to rule that Handerbald sends Relzak across after Griselda heals him

Griselda heals Relzak.

Thanks to the flank, Relzak narrowly hits the Spriggan lord, but the larger creature is not intimidated by him.

But Eldric's strikes are not as well aimed and clank uselessly off his armor. You've now seen 21 hit and 18 miss so you know its in there.

Turn order:
1. Spriggans
2. Handerbald
3. Griselda
4. Relzak
5. Eldric
6. Ghostwind

Status:

Relzak: 18/36
Eldric: 35/39

Spriggan Lord: -6

Pending Ghost Wind

A very kind ruling, thank you

ok so since relzak is across now I can't heal him anymorealso does bless apply to grappled o.o?

Griselda takes advantage of the flank Griselda takes a small step forward and lashes out with her hair

Grapple+Flank+Bless: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 28

If it hits swift action to Constrict

Constrict: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

And sneak attack since he's grappled

Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Yes, thanks GM.

also does bless apply to grappled o.o?

Yes. A CMB roll is an attack roll, and grapple is a maneuver, so it applies.

thank you I will keep that in mind from now

we were only pending ghost wind before the Spriggan attacks- obviously will roll Griseldas good roll into after that but there will be a round of swings in there

Sorry, unexpected work.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Shaking off the faerical influence, Ghostwind slowly walks around the big spriggan in order to capitalise from their numbers. Once more, he attacks with both sword and sorcery.

Concentration DC 15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Spellstrike Arcane Mark, Bless: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 fizzles

Regular Attack, Bless: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 1 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Critical Confirmation: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 = 21
Potential Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Ghostwind critically hits the Spriggan Lord!

The size small gnomes position to flank!
At Ghostwind: Morningstar: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 2 = 19
Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 4) = 14

At Eldric: Morningstar: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 = 27
Confirm?: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 = 13
Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 1) = 11

The Lord Strikes once at Eldric:
Morningstar, power attack, furious focus: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 2 = 25
Damage: 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (3, 6) + 11 = 20 hit!

And once at Relzak:
Morningstar, iterative, PA: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Damage: 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (4, 2) + 11 = 17 hit!

Handerbald touches Ghostwind healing him Cure: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 bringing him back awake, but leaving him prone.

Griselda manages to grapple the Spriggan Lord, constricting him!

Status:
Ghostwind: 10/30, prone
Relzak: 18/36

Spriggan Lord: -30

Pending Relzak, Eldric, Ghostwind

Grappled! Means -4 Dex, so easier to hit :) But 9 and 18 damage taken, so 27 wounds total. Ouch!

Hit: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 2 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Ki Hit: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 = 14

Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Hit: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 2

With the spriggan lord grappled, Eldric stepped forward and punched the enemy in the gut. He was reeling from the blow, and knew that he wouldn't survive another one like it, but now was not the time to worry about that. They had to take the enemy down quickly. Not only for their lives, but for Tharbenia.

i will heal you next round I'm not considered grappled and if he does not break free I can still Constrict him as a swift action

Relzak took a staggering blow to the head, leaving everything blurry and his thoughts slow. Fortunately, the towering foe in front of him presented an easy target.

Attack+Bless: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 = 26
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

If that hits, then apply the Menacing Swordplay deed to demoralize
Intimidate: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Dang, I need to get these 20s on things that will restore a panache point. If that blow killed the Spriggan Lord, then I'll get a point back. Relzak is now at 1 hit point. I'm going to use my final panache point to activate the dodging panache deed, even though not having that reserve will inhibit most of his abilities and his damage output. If Relzak is attacked with a melee attack, his AC increases by 3 points, and he moves one square to the south.

Alright, so, Ghostwind cast Shield before entering the hut, so his AC is 17+4=21. If he's hit anyway, why is he prone?

Please make sure when you do things to up your AC to update your headers or to note it every round in your post- 21 would miss then since it was a 19; I crossed up on the attacks there somehow I thought the hit took Ghostwind down

Will apply the healing to Eldric instead

Relzak hits and Eldric hits once; the Spriggan Lord does not appear intimidated.

Ghostwind misses the smaller spriggan. Ironically AC 17 so both attacks missed by exactly the -2 for taking two

The Spriggn lord attempts to break the grapple:
CMB: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19 and breaks free!

The small Spriggans attack again with their flank restored-

At Ghostwind
Morningstar: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 2 = 24 hit (or real)!
Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 4) = 7

At Elric
Morningstar: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 = 9

Turn order:
1. Spriggans
2. Handerbald
3. Griselda
4. Relzak
5. Eldric
6. Ghostwind

Status:
Ghostwind: 23/30
Relzak: 18/36
Eldric: 14/39

Spriggan Lord: -52

That brings up everyone again!

Seeing the Spriggan Lord free himself Griselda takes the opportunity to heal her companions

CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Then turns her attention to the smaller Spriggan now within reach

Hit: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Ki Hit: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 = 26
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Hit: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 1

The spriggarn lord wouldn’t die, and that was a problem. Digging into his reserves, Eldric launched a brutal attack, giving everything he had in a burst of energy and violence.

Set on erasing the spriggan cohorts to avoid them take advantage of their positioning, Ghsotwind grinds his teeth when the morningstar hits him and quickly strikes back.

VS the smaller spriggan:

Concentration DC 15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Spellstrike Arcane Mark, Bless: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Regular attack, Bless: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Only one of his attacks hitting, though, and causing low damage.

The Spriggan Lord ignored Relzak! Time to make him regret that!

Attack+Bless: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

If that hits, then apply the Menacing Swordplay deed to demoralize
Intimidate: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Dodging Panache deed if Relzak is attacked with a melee attack: his AC increases by 3 points, and he moves one square to the south.
