GM TOP #3-02: Sewer Dragons of Absalom (Standard) (Inactive)

Game Master Pete H.

The dogs miss everything as the nimble target zips around the room. What a jerk. JUST STAND STILL AND DIE LIKE MOST ENEMIES!!!

Voices takes a much better whack at it, but at the last moment a magical shield springs into place and deflects the blow. Thyste's attack is also rebuffed by this force, pissing the fox off even more, presumably.

But everything being as it is, the enemy has still taken more damage than the group.

Round 5: Alchemy Class is in Session!
Kobold (-29 HP, bombs used: 2)
Voices (-8 HP, 3 rds prot evil, 33 rds shield)
Purple Dog (Nauseated 2 rds remain)
Green Dog (-8 HP)
Red Dog
Thyste (-13 HP)
Garsita (Nauseated 2 rds remain, Move Action ONLY)
Ruinor
Engashez (Nauseated 4 rds remain, Move Action ONLY)

Bold May Act. Ruinor is essentially the only one up as Nauseated is a brutal debuff.

Environmental Details: The Aisles on the first floor are tight and require any Medium Creatures to Squeeze (half speed and squeezing penalties). The stairs are difficult terrain (going up).

Nauseated: Creatures with the nauseated condition experience stomach distress. Nauseated creatures are unable to attack, cast spells, concentrate on spells, or do anything else requiring attention. The only action such a character can take is a single move actions per turn.

GM NOTE: This is an incredibly complicated encounter with many debuffs, aoo's, extra rolls and other things. Just try your best! It is, fyi, not easy for me to manage either so if I make a glaring mistake just gently mention it. Thanks!

Okay, screw it, I'm grappling next time!

Engashez goes back into the tunnel to do the same as Garsita.

Ruinor's smile as Thyste avoids the web quickly turns to a frown as the kobold also avoids it, then turns into a scowl as it and his companions are hit with a bomb.

"Hmm, seems you've managed to learn a few things from these books," the elf says as he considers his options. Not liking most of them, he throws a glob of acid at the kobold. "Better than nothing. He's a more formidable opponent than I gave him credit for," he thinks to himself.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 - 4 - 4 = 13
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

The 'good' kobold wisely moves out of the library to deposit his vomit. Ruinor takes a pot-shot at the 'bad' kobold alchemist, who manages to dodge the acid.

The bugger simply steps back and lobs a small vial right at Voices chest.

Bomb vs. Voices Touch AC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15 for Cold: 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4, 2) + 3 = 10

The bomb explodes in a blast of cold ice instead of fire! The big endotherm shivers from the surprise.

Voices has a DC 16 Fort Save or will be staggered for one round from the frost bomb. Thyste also gets splashed by the ice but it isn't very bad. DC 16 Reflex for half of 6, subtracting 5 from the end result.

Round 6: Alchemy Class is in Session!
Kobold (-29 HP, bombs used: 3)
Voices (-18 HP, 3 rds prot evil, 33 rds shield, Fort Save Due)
Purple Dog (Nauseated 2 rds remain)

Red Dog
Thyste (-13 or -14 HP, Reflex Save Due)
Garsita (Nauseated 2 rds remain, Move Action ONLY)
Ruinor
Engashez (Nauseated 3 rds remain, Move Action ONLY)

Bold May Act. Ruinor is essentially the only one up as Nauseated is a brutal debuff.

Environmental Details: The Aisles on the first floor are tight and require any Medium Creatures to Squeeze (half speed and squeezing penalties). The stairs are difficult terrain (going up).

Nauseated: Creatures with the nauseated condition experience stomach distress. Nauseated creatures are unable to attack, cast spells, concentrate on spells, or do anything else requiring attention. The only action such a character can take is a single move actions per turn.

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Thyste snorts as she feels the heat-- barely.

She sighs, tosses down her spear and her shield which is gonna take a Move action to take off, then tries to climb up!

Climb: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Dice? I need you to roll HIGH numbers. The ones with at LEAST two digits. Please?

Garsita stands up, thinking she feels better, only to double back over as another wave hits her.

Eng vomits some more.

Thyste's fur crackles a bit from the cold and her snot freezes in her nose, but otherwise no major harm. She goes to climb the side of the stairs to shortcut her way up, but steps on a loose-leaf pile of papers and almost falls, barely able to keep her balance.

Barely missed the climb DC. :(

Garsita and Engashez void more of their stomachs. There isn't much left in there as it is mostly stomach acid at this point.

Round 6: Alchemy Class is in Session!
Kobold (-29 HP, bombs used: 3)

Voices fort save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Oho, we playing now! Voices tries to grab the small creature and throw him down to Thyste.
reposition combat maneuver: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 2 = 19
If he has a melee weapon out, I do provoke.

red dog will save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

The dogs move up and attack, both missing their strikes but at least providing a flank.

Purple is nauseated for another round but red cleared the glitterdust last round so I just swapped their positions on the map.

The Nagaji shakes off the staggering cold, moves up the stairs and attempts to toss the kobold off the ledge.

Unfortunately you can not move a foe with reposition into a position that is intrinsically dangerous and dropping him off a ledge to the floor below definitely qualifies. You could reposition him into any of the squares on the map marked with a red x if you wish.

Nauseated: Creatures with the nauseated condition experience stomach distress. Nauseated creatures are unable to attack, cast spells, concentrate on spells, or do anything else requiring attention. The only action such a character can take is a single move actions per turn.

Just trying to get as many attacks on the kobold as possible, Ruinor pulls a wand from his sash and activates it. Summon monster I. Will put an eagle next to the evasive foe next turn.

Ruinor pulls out a wand and begins the difficult process to activate it. It might take some time.

The kobold zips out of trouble and turns to toss a firebomb at the nearest dog.

Firebomb vs. Red Dog Touch: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 for Fire: 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3, 5) + 3 = 13

With a large explosion the group waits for the smoke to clear. When it does, neither dog remains! It's like they were wiped off the face of this plane.

I believe 13 damage takes out Red and even if Green saves, 3 damage should finish them off. However, the movement did provoke so they still get bites before they go. Voices also gets an AoO.

Round 7: Alchemy Class is in Session!
Kobold (-29 HP, bombs used: 4)
Voices (-18 HP, 2 rds prot evil, 32 rds shield, AoO)

Aww. Little guy burned up doggiesss... Voices rushes over and tries to grab the fleet little reptile person.
Missed that about no dangerous position, so I will try to grapple him this time.
grapple CMB: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 well carp!

Accelerated Climb: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

How much move do I have left, if any?

Garsita stands up, wipes her face, and spits out the last bit of lingering vomit.

The sick dog, Garsita and Engashez all spit up their last bit of vomit. Well... it's really just intestinal bile at this point. Really gross black stuff. Tastes really really bad. But two of them finally feel better.

The two dogs miss and are mercifully sent back to whatever plane they came from. Voices also misses with his sap and then tries to grab the Kobold but it wriggles out like an oiled pig.

Voices, did you drop your sap or are you trying to grapple one handed?

Round 7: Alchemy Class is in Session!

Environmental Details: The Aisles on the first floor are tight and require any Medium Creatures to Squeeze (half speed and squeezing penalties). The stairs are difficult terrain (going up).

Nauseated: Creatures with the nauseated condition experience stomach distress. Nauseated creatures are unable to attack, cast spells, concentrate on spells, or do anything else requiring attention. The only action such a character can take is a single move actions per turn.

As soon as she gets up to the next level, she hustles to the kobold, grabbing an arrow out of her quiver as she moves!

That way I still threaten ;D

Sorry about delay. I started a post yesterday but apparently didn't submit it before leaving for my dentist appointment.

Ruinor moves up to the start of the stairs to get a little closer before summoning an eagle in between Voices and Thyste. Seeing its target, the eagle attacks but isn't any more effective than the summoned dogs.

Talon attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Talon attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Bite attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Thyste tries to move in and at least threaten the kobold with her pointy stick.

Ruinor summons a nasty looking bird who unleashes a flurry of poorly aimed strikes, none of which land.

The kobold repeats its usual trick of running around and through the group, easily ducking the stab from Thyste. He turns with a big smile as he notices that four enemies are all stacked together. He laughs, "You shouldn't make it so easy for me."

Frost Bomb vs. Thyste Touch AC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 for Cold - Resistance: 3d6 + 3 - 5 ⇒ (4, 5, 4) + 3 - 5 = 11

It drills the demon fox squarely in the back and cold shards burst outwards, searing Voices and the two summoned creatures.

Thyste has a DC 16 Fort Save or she will be staggered for one round.

AoO's for Voices, Voices's dog and Ruinor's Eagle. They also all need Reflex Saves. It is DC 16 and on a failed save you take 6 cold damage. A successful save reduces that to 3 cold damage.

Round 8: Alchemy Class is in Session!
Kobold (-29 HP, bombs used: 5)

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Mother fricker!

Thyste grits her teeth; the black smoke actually stops pouring out for a moment. Is it... heat-based???

"Can't believe you're so eager to kill your own kind!" roars Thyste, jostling the bag of what can't be a pair of kobolds in good shape anymore.

Hopefully they're alive. Maybe.

Regardless, she takes a step closer, drops the arrow, and grabs the little bastard!

Grapple: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Are you kidding me

"Some healing would be good, if you can spare it!" growls Thyste through gritted teeth.

Garsita moves up the stairs and calls upon Shelyn to send a wave of healing.

selective channel, excluding the kobold, but does heal all the summons

2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7

edit: the kobold(s) in the bag do get healed

Eagle AoO. Edit: based on previous rolls I think those all miss :(

Talon attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Talon attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Bite attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Eagle Ref save (DC16): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

The eagle freezes mid-air before crashing to the ground dead.

Assuming the kobold isn't grappled ...
Frustrated that the group can't seem to stop the evasive kobold, Ruinor climbs to the top of the stairs. "Let's see if we can't thaw things out a bit," he says as he unleashes a cone of fire at the kobold.

Burning hands. Should be able to aim cone off of balcony to miss everyone but the kobold.

Fire damage: 3d4 ⇒ (1, 1, 2) = 4 Reflex save (DC17) for half. Seriously?

edit: the kobold(s) in the bag do get healed

...Voices, did you drop your sap or are you trying to grapple one handed?...

Voices dropped the sap.

reflex save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 So 6 damage of course.
I don't believe you can grapple as an AoO, so Voices will punch.
unarmed strike: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29, if hits, non-lethal dam: 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
crit confirm: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10, if hits, crit non-lethal dam: 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

---------
Will try to grapple again for actual turn.
grapple cmb: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
Even the normally placid Voices is beginning to get irritated, Enssshasssgez, really sssure needsss talksss thisss one?

You can't make AoO's with unarmed strikes unless you have Improved Unarmed Strike. For this reason Spiked Gauntlets are an amazing weapon. But since I am a super generous awesome GM, I'll allow that 20 to count for the dog's AoO.

Dog Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Kobold Fort vs. Allergy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Dog Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

The dog gets a lucky bite in to the surprise of the kobold. He looks a bit confused by the strike but waves it off as just being one of those random coincidences.

Voices moves up and grasps the Kobold around the shoulders, ready to throttle him if given the word.

Garsita manages to heal everyone but the kobold, which is probably really good for the one in the bag held by the Nagaji.

Thyste moves up and stabs at the grappled target (I'm assuming you don't drop the arrow and instead stab with it), completely and utterly missing. It's like she isn't even trying! :P

The eagle explodes in a shower of cold shards. But the wizard does manage to angle his cone of fire to avoid his allies and scorches the Kobold a bit. Finally a little bit more damage has been done to this nasty enemy!

Reflex DC 17 - Dex Penalty: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 - 2 = 28

Your angle was good and to my knowledge, grapple doesn't mechanically move a player into an enemy square even if logically it would, so your fire blast can go off. I'm also going to bot the purple dog's attacks to move us onto the next round.

Purple Attack needs a 20: 1d20 ⇒ 15

The Kobold angrily tries to burn his way free! Burn with COLD!!!

Kobold Throw Bomb at Voices Touch AC - Dex - Grappled: 1d20 + 11 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 2 - 2 = 9
miss 1 straight back 2-8 clockwise: 1d8 ⇒ 8
Reflex DC 16 - Dex Penalty vs. his own bomb: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 2 = 12

Voices and Ruinor have a DC 16 save vs. 6 frost damage. Make the save to only take 3. AoO's for Purple Dog and Thyste.

Engashez

Bold May Act.

Environmental Details: The Aisles on the first floor are tight and require any Medium Creatures to Squeeze (half speed and squeezing penalties). The stairs are difficult terrain (going up).

Grappled: A grappled creature is restrained by a creature, trap, or effect. Grappled creatures cannot move and take a –4 penalty to Dexterity. A grappled creature takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and combat maneuver checks, except those made to grapple or escape a grapple. In addition, grappled creatures can take no action that requires two hands to perform. A grappled character who attempts to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability must make a concentration check (DC 10 + grappler’s CMB + spell level, see Concentration), or lose the spell. Grappled creatures cannot make attacks of opportunity.

This fight is an enormous, chaotic clusterheck and I love it!

Thyste grumbles-- what a terrible time to be without her weapons! But at least the little bastard is held, for now.

"Think you can pin 'im?" she asks.

Delay until Voices moves, then:

Study Target: This Kobold
Improvised Dagger Stab: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Why???? WHY!??!?!?

"Hey, Engashez, can you toss my spear up here? If you've got a minute, I mean. Between all the... y'know... yapping."

Between his spell, the dogs attack, and Voices grabbing onto the kobold, Ruinor is hopeful that this combat is almost over. He watches in disbelief as the alchemist tries to throw another bomb while being held. "How does he think he can aim with that brute holding him?" the elf wonders as he watches the kobold's arm stop abruptly. His eyes get big as he sees the bomb coming in his direction.

Reflex save (DC 16): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Despite it seeming to happen in slow motion, Ruinor watches for too long and can't get out of the way of the explosion.

"Remind me again why we are trying to capture this one," he says as he waits for a response and to see if Voices can subdue the kobold.

Will probably use Fire Jet ability since the rules seem to indicate I won't hit Voices. I don't think I can avoid hitting the dog though.

”We’re not anymore! We’re just trying to hold it down so we can f#@$ing kill it!”

pin CMB: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 2 = 20
purple att: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Ruinor nods in agreement. "I like the new plan," he says as he unleashed a jet of flame at the kobold.

Fire Jet Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 Reflex save (DC15) for half. Failed save = catch fire for 1d6 damage following round. Avoid with full-round action Reflex save.

"It'd be a good time to surrender, if you ever plan on doing so," Thyste growls.

Garsita moves around and swings her glaive at the bad kobold.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Voices wraps the kobold up into a full nelson, preventing any use of his arms.

The dog bites at him, but still can't get through the tough armor and magical shield. Thyste has the same issue with her improvised arrow dagger.

But Garsita puts the hurt on him, spearing him deep in the side. Still though, the kobold doesn't drop.

The wizard tries to cook the kobold and dog. The smell of burned hair and flesh gets even stronger in the small shop.

Kobold Reflex DC 15 - no dex: 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 11 - 5 = 23
Purple Dog Reflex DC 15: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

He hisses out, "TOPSIDER SCUM ASSASSINS I'LL NEVER SURRENDER!"

They've got everything well enough in hand. That is all for me

If we've got him pinned, I do have silk rope, if we want to tie him up...

The kobold hisses at Engashez, ”Traitor Scum! I should have killed you first!!!”

He struggles against the big arms gripping him.

CMB to escape: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

But Voices is too strong.

Alright, I need one decent CMB check from Voices to finish this off. Then you all can decide if you want this Kobold knocked out or tied up. If the CMB check is bombed, then he might get free again, good luck!

aargh! The digital dice gods hate me.

This seems like the sort of thing that’s Aid Another-able!

Aid Another Grapple: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

F&*%. F+%@ f*@&ity f*@+ f@$@. That was very unlucky. Especially since Voices already used his reroll so that is a guaranteed fail, regardless of the aids. I would STRONGLY suggest everyone try to take this Kobold out. Thyste you may use that 19 as an attack roll or an aid for an ally.

Voices squeezes the kobold and then screeches in pain as he gets a paper cut, OUCH THAT HURT! He drops the grapple and nurses his very painful tiny cut.

I'm gonna use it for its own grapple, then!

As Voices drops the kobold, Thyste grabs it instead, dropping her arrow for real this time, probably!

"Slippery f%*&!" she growls. "Kill it, disarm it, tie it up, whatever you're gonna do, do it!"

Oops! Totally forgot that I had already used my re-roll. Good catch.

I may have a solution to let Voices pass that; let me check with others on that...

That works Garsita, reroll used.

Voices feels the calm tinkling of musical bells soothing his sore hand, giving him the courage to not drop the enemy. Thyste ties the Kobold up. He struggles for a moment, cursing you all out and then Thyste adds a ball gag. Finally, quiet falls upon the room.

COMBAT OVER

Current Status
Kobold (-56 HP, bombs used: 6, Tied Up & Helpless)
Voices (-23 HP, 28 rds shield)
Purple Dog (-3 HP)
Thyste (-18 HP)
Ruinor (-6 HP)

What do you all do next?

Thyste sighs and does whatever she needs to do to disarm the kobold of his various magical goods-- even if he somehow gets out, it's better to... not have him be able to fling those bombs and extracts around anymore.

She checks the sack for the status of the other two 'bolds; if they're still any kind of alive, she goes ahead and crams the other one into her Bag of Kobolding.

For what it's worth, it's very clear at a glance that she's been in a fight; there's at least two people's blood on her, her fur is singed in places and still thawing in others, and her grin looks somehow more maniacal than usual.

Also, she's emitting black smoke... but that's normal.

Garsita peeks into the sack to check on the inhabitants. If anyone looks badly hurt in there, she will make sure they're at least able to survive another torching.

She also checks on her companions to see if anyone needs healing.

Please?

The singular kobold scout in the sack glares back at her, daring her to do anything. He doesn't look excessively injured. The channeling must have helped.

IIRC most of the damage to that scout was NL, so even taking a couple AoE blasts of alchemical bombs, they are ok.

The group looks pretty injured, especially Thyste and Voices.

Engashez strolls to join the rest. "Well, that went reasonably well."
