GM Michael's Ironfang Invasion

Game Master Dread

Eilyne's head snapped to the side in the direction the arrow came from as she tried to see who, or what, had shot it.

Can't look at the map right now and didn't want to slow things down more than I already had. Two possible actions are being written, please use/modify the appropriate one.

Seeing the attacker Eilyne began to form a thorn with her graceful, dancelike, moves whish she sent lancing out at Barhador's attacker.

Gather power if needed for extended range if greater than 30 ft away or use the move action to try and move into the nearest treeline/cover.
wood blast: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 171d6 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 4 = 9
Add +1 atk and dmg if w/i 30 ft.

If attacker not visible:

Having no one to target, and not wanting to be stuck out in the open, Eilyne quickly moved towards the nearest cover.

I will move into the trees at as close to a 90 degree angle from teh attacker as possible or the nearest cover.

Seeing the arrow hit Barhador, Eilyne took a few steps forward looking for who might be hiding in the trees nearby. Seeing noone, she instead made for the trees near Ethan

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Senses straining toward the source of the commotion, Tarrow looks back to see where his friends are and spots the faintest movement in the brush where others once stood. He watches an extra moment. There, another ripple of leaves, and three feet further back, another, and it's moving closer. Then, through a gap in the foliage he sees it, a wild cat larger than any he'd ever imagined, stalking the group.

Abandoning stealth, he flies from his position among the pear trees back toward the party. "Eilyne! Beside you! Look out!"

2x move

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Not seeing a shooter, Arkhan calls out.
Quit f~$&ing shooting at us! We are refugees from Phaendar fleeing the advancing hobgoblin army! F~$@ turds!

Sense Motive (Wis): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Not getting a true sense of the attacker(s) motives (other than violence), the 1/2 orc decides to take cover behind the log pile.

Tarrow also glanced in the direction of the arrow and then he saw movement in the brush on that side and a Giant Lynx was crawling through the underbrush towards Eilyne and Ethan.

He started to move that way in a hurry and suddenly jumped to the side to avoid the beartrap that snapped shut as he stepped on the trigger hidden beneath a screen of false grass and leaves. He sidesteps and runs to crouch behind the tree stump in front of Arkhan

perception DC15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Then Barhador, Tarrow and Arkhan could hear shuffling inside the cabin and The cracked door was jerked open out of Barhadors hand and their standing in the door way was the walking corpse of the hunter who had lived here. The flesh of this walking corpse is rotting and putrid, its body skeletal in places and its eye sockets glowing with red light.

Upon spying the walking corpse, Ethan moves forward and calls upon Erastil's power to destroy it.

Channel Energy, Harm Undead: 1d6 ⇒ 2

As the arrow hits Barhador, ripping into his flesh, the elf grunts and his features begin shifting to be more bovine.

He grabs his kukri, and slashes at the vestige standing before him.

"Big cat in the tree line! Defend yourselves!"

Drawing an arrow and firing at the undead creature in the doorway, Brunner calls to Arkhan, "Arkhan, Can ye gab tae th' moggie, catfin' it wa it's protectin' thes Undeid abomination?" Seeing his arrow go astray, he drops the bow, husting out of the woods as he draws the dorn-dergar. "Bah, aam nae guid at attacks frae a distance."

It felt like it may have just been the Hunter protecting his home at first...lol.

Arkhan nods to Brunner, before whispering to Tarrow.
Tarrow, I don't speak dwarven. What the f*~& did Brunner just ask me to do?

Some of them I can translate; this one not so much...lol.

Seeing that the previous home owner decided to sublet his place to this undead monstrosity, the druid nods in frustration.
Who the shitfaced drunk sublets to an undead!

Hearing Barhador shouting about a big cat in the foliage, the druid takes another look.
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

The druid apparently can't see the forest for the trees with a big cat hiding in them!

Tarrow shrugs, having just avoided the bear trap. "I wish I knew. But it probably has to do with that lynx about to pounce." He points at the cat for Arkhan to follow.

Looking back over his shoulder as he draws his weapon, Brunner, willing to help the uneducated half orc, speaks slower and louder, because that always helps people understand. Ah said speck tae th' Blasted Hairy Beastie! Sae it dornt eat us."

The 1/2 orc laughs aloud!
Damn it, dwarf! I'm a Storm druid not one of those animal speaking pansy shiteaters!!

Arkhan looks around and cannot see the cat everyone is shouting about an moves forward to the edge of the building cussign and looking from Tarrow to Brunner and back.

Ethan moved forward and called upon Erastil to destroy this foul undead, such was his distraction about the big cat though that he prayer was weakened and the Hunter turned undead creature growled and such was his connection to the undead plane that the prayer hardly effected him.

remember please roll opponents saves
Wights save DC14: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Barhador face took on ursine qualities as he started to resemble a bear. He pulled his Kukri and slashed out with a fluid motion slicing through dead flesh, leaving no blood but obviously injuring the creature.

Brunner fires his bow and it thunks into the doorframe beside Barhador who glanced at him with a scowl. Then he began to move forward dropping his bow and pulling his weapon as he moved now raising his voice trying to make himself understood to Arkhan...

Sorry for the delay.

Eilyne heard the warning about the big cat almost too late but fortunately the creature jumped tot eh side as a here to for unseen bearr trap sanpped shut! Eilyne realized this was bad and began to back up, staying in the same path she had moved in, until she had some distance from the creature. She puledd in her power to grow a thorn and let it loose at the giant feline.

wood blast w/pbs/precs: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 = 171d6 + 1 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 4 + 1 = 8

Move back along my path so I end thirty feet from the cat and attack.

Eilyne heard the warning and began to back pedal leaving the foliage behind and moving towards the group when she saw the Giant Lynx she loosed another seed towards it. The large thorn of wood stuck into the side of the cat as it rushed towards Ethan.

The Giant Lynx sprang from its hiding place and rushed towards the Priest pulling up energy to hurt its master, A thorn hit it in the side injuring it but it leaped towards Ethan reaching out with claws and mouth. Ethan sw the lynx rushing him and prepared for the pouncing cat, and side stepped at the last moment as the Lynx landed behind him. Lynx ac is13this round now.

Having little confidence that he could take all four legs out from under such a formidable beast, Tarrow opts for the simple jab with his rapier.

Move and attack

Rapier: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 Crit?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Crit Dmg: 2d4 - 2 ⇒ (4, 3) - 2 = 5

The serious end of the weapon plunges into the side of the lynx.

Tarrow moved up next to the Giant Lynx and stabbed it in the side with his Rapier

The Undead Hunter struck out at Barhador with a blacked hand that seemed to radiate the cold of unlife. Barhador pulled away from the hand before it sunk its claws into him.

Ethan takes a step back from the lynx and looses an arrow at it.

Point-Blank, Precise Shot: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Arkhan shrugs his shoulders. The 1/2 orc strides up next to Barhador.
I got your back. Keep him busy while the others take out that mad cat.

Aid AC 10 : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21 +4 AC

Flinching as the half orc curses Brunner shakes his head. He knew several fine druids most of them brave and true, and only a few would eat some things that a dwarf wouldn't.

Saddened by the fact that they were not able to communicate with the cat, Brunner, having not extended the ball yet, looks down at the lynx. "Sorry abit thes kitty, eh'd raither be strikin' yer undeid master. but Ah cannae hae ye chewin' oan mah friends." He then gives the chain a twist and swings the heavy stone ball at the wild cat hitting it on the head, knocking it to the ground.

Turning his attention towards the real threat, he moves towards the door of the cabin and the undead.

Attack: Dorn-dergar PA, move action 20 ft.
attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 1 = 17 fr damage: 1d10 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 3 = 17

"Thank you for the assist. Not the way I saw this going. Not remotely."

The hunter easily slices some more flesh off of the undead creature before him, wondering if he should risk casting or not . . ..

Kukri: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Slashing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

AC is effectively 19 right now.

Eilyne caught onto Brunner's words about the undead thing being the cat's master and changed her choice of targets. She had no dislike for the lynx and would rather not kill it. Better to kill the one commanding it and hope the creature would break free of it's control that way. She moved into the middle of her companions following what she thought was a safe path and then sent a whirling disk of wood, like a large circular saw blade, flying out at the abomination.

wood blast (slashing) w/pbs/precs: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 1 = 181d6 + 1 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 4 + 1 = 11

Arkhan ran up behind Barhador and told him something he saw when with the horde about fighting undead which caused Barhador's eyes to widen....but he took a more serious defensive stance.

Ethan stepped back and fired an arrow at the Lynx, The arrow went into the dirt between the cats front legs.

Barhador slashed out with Kukri, once again slicing through lifeless flesh.

With regret, Brunner slammed the stone ball into the Giant Lynx skull causing it to fall to the ground, blood seeping from its head. and takes a few steps toward the Wight.

Eilyne pivoted and faced the doorway, pulling a seed and shaping it into a large sawblade and spun it on its side and projected it towards the Wight. Barhador felt the wind of its passing as it struck the creature, slicing into it, spattering gobs of undead flesh out to decorate the room.

The cat continued to bleed on the ground.

Deciding that the lynx should not suffer for its loyalty, and if not that, its random arrival in this place at this moment, Tarrow takes the time to save its life.

First Aid, Pila: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

With the animal out of imminent danger of death, Tarrow runs toward his companions.

Yarrow knelt putting pressure on the cats wound and allowing the blood to stop before moving closer to the doorway.

The former Hunter reached for Barhador as before, baleful red eyes staring into the elf's rich green eyes with the hatred all unlife has for the living. The Elf dodged the attack yet again

Ethan unleashes another wave of positive energy upon the undead thing.

Channel Energy, DC 14: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Undead Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

The druid watches as the wright...err...undead hunter swings at the elf and misses by a mile. He grins.
I am counting that as mine.

Arkhan then attempts to help Barhador again by casting Guidance on him.

"Torag, help yer servant destroy thes undeid abomination."Calling on the power of the living rock deep under feet, Brunner extends the chain on his dorn-dergar and tries to strike the undead standing in the doorway. Breathing a soft "Thenk ye" as he feels the stone ball of the ancient weapon strike the undead.

move action, extend dorn dergar to reach weapon, swift action Stonestrike, attack: dorn-dergar PA, SL
attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 - 1 = 24 for damage: 1d10 + 1 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 4 + 3 = 14

With his nostrils flaring, the young hunter carves another piece of flesh from the abomination.

Kukri w/ Guidance: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 1 = 19
Slashing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Not that Brunner didn't finish it off without help from any of us this time, regardless.
