GM Erich's PFS2E Quest 13 - Falcons' Descent for Gameday X (Inactive)

Game Master Thereus, Silver Crusader

Ya sorry, Eddie didn't think of prepare light since they see without it. If this was a multiday scenario that would be a different story.

"Can't see? How did humans get so important not being able to see in the dark?" Oh, maybe that's why they like to live in the bright horrible sun I guess...

As your intrepid group exit the winding tunnels, you enter a large cavern that is barricaded at several points. The Eagle Knights are furiously fighting the duergars in one corner of the room, when suddenly a smaller group of duergars spots your torch light and routs - heading up to an elevated position on a stone pillar.

Round 1 - Bold can act
Morrin
Red Duergar (w/maul)
Gray Duergar (w/crossbow and mace)
Orange Duergar (w/warhammer and bombs)
Landitho
Yellow Duergar (w/warhammer and bombs)
Eddie
Asketell
Cassimon

The larger rocks and columns provide cover. The first level of the pillar is 5 feet high, and the second is an additional 5 feet high (10 feet from the ground).

The half-orc dashes to south and turns right. After quietly mumbling to herself her outline seems elusive and dizzy. Cast Blur

Changed the gray duergar to pink to sand out more on the background.

The blurry sorcerer rounds the corner in time to see the duergar leader smash their maul into the ground to rally their allies. "Take them down, in Droskar's name!". He then casts a spell and his maul pulses with divine energy. With that the sharpshooter drops prone and unleashes a bolt toward the sorcerer. It unwinds into three wiry strands as it explodes against the ground, clearly meant to entrap rather than damage. The bombardier duergars prepare to defend the pillar.

pink flat check vs blur: 1d20 ⇒ 20
pink crossbow vs Morrin: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9

Round 1 - Bold can act
Morrin
Red Duergar (w/maul)
Pink Duergar (w/crossbow and mace)
Orange Duergar (w/warhammer and bombs)
Landitho
Yellow Duergar (w/warhammer and bombs)
Eddie
Asketell
Cassimon

Landitho slowly starts increasing the intensity of her music. (She already has violin out due to Detect Magic exploration.)

BATTLE MUSIC!

Use Lingering Composition

Lingering Composition: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

Just a normal success.

◆ Cast Inspire Courage

All allies within 60-ft gain a +1 status bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves against fear for 3 rounds.

◆◆ Cast Dispel Magic on the magic maul (Landitho assumes the spell was Magic Weapon).

Counteract vs Caster's DC: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

"LET'S GO!"

Landitho eyes the leader through the rough tunnels juuust barely and eliminates the magic on his maul.

Round 1/2 - Bold can act - Inspire Courage is up
Red Duergar (w/maul)
Pink Duergar (w/crossbow and mace)
Orange Duergar (w/warhammer and bombs)
Landitho
Yellow Duergar (w/warhammer and bombs)
Eddie
Asketell
Cassimon
----------------------
Morrin <blur>

Asketell drinks the mutagen in his fist and charges forward. With a flick of his wrist he draws a jar from his pocket and lobs it at the closest duegar.

"Rarrrrrrrrrrrr!" the Ulfen roars, spit flying from his mouth.

Bomb, range -2: 1d20 + 6 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 2 + 1 = 6
Electric, 1 splash: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7

The Juggernaut mutagen gives Asketell a +1 to Fort saves and 5 temp hp. He is able to draw and throw a bomb with one action due to Quick Draw.
And no splash on a crit fail.

Careful to stay in Asketel's torch lighted area, Cassimon walks toward the slavers, glaive hold firmly in both hands

Repent for your faults, sins and errors. Put down your weapons and no harm shall be done to you.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

There is, however, a limit between confidence and arrogance, and Cassimon's words sounds hollow.

Calling otherworldly powers Morrin summons a translucent mace to attack duergar standing on rear (yellow). "It was me, you stupid slaver!" she shouts

Spiritual hammer: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
force damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Eddie moves a bit closer to get a good view of their enemies "The fungal spirits are coming for you vicious Dwarves, the cold stings your ears.." They raise a dried mushroom fetish to the sky and a bolt of cold shoots towards the yellow Dwarf.

Ray of Frost, 120' Range, Cold: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 111d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Stride, Ray of Frost

Oops, I had the center map tile oriented incorrectly, I have now adjusted. It hasn't affected anyone yet, good or bad, but does alter where the columns and cover are.

Eddie wheels in first, releasing his ray of frost to no avail. Asketell Follows suit with a wild bomb. Cassimon tries to frighten the duergar off, but the words are but empty threats to their ears. Morrin is finally able to draw ire with her forceful hammer.

The duergars respond as a trained squad: four bombs are lopped at the advanced targets before retreating behind the pillar, another pair of tangling bolts are fired from atop the pillar and the taskmaster leaps from his perch to engage the onrushing paladin. "Tell me what to do? Raar!"

orange fire bomb vs Cassimon: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 1 = 191d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 fire and 1 persistent fire and 1 splash
orange fire bomb vs Cassimon: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 1 - 5 = 231d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 fire and 1 persistent fire and 1 splash
yellow fire bomb vs Morrin: 1d20 ⇒ 51d20 + 8 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 211d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 fire and 1 persistent fire and 1 splash

Round 2/3 - Bold can act - Inspire Courage is up
Orange Duergar (w/warhammer and bombs)
Yellow Duergar (w/warhammer and bombs) -5 damage
Pink Duergar (w/crossbow and mace)
Red Duergar (w/maul)
Landitho
Eddie
Asketell -2 damage from splash <juggernaut mutagen>
Cassimon -19 damage <bravo's brew, 1 persistent fire>
----------------------
Morrin <blur> -7 damage <1 persistent fire>

"Here comes another!" she continues to hammer the yellow and strides forward.

Spiritual hammer: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Eddie frowns as his aim is poor. Hrm, closer then. He trundles closer to the raised mound then takes cover behind the pillar and his shield

Stride x2, Raise Shield if it provides the same AC bonus as take cover would behind the pillar. I don't remember if they are both +2 AC actions or if the take cover can go to +4. If its the same go for the shield raise, then I'll use shield block if triggered. AC20 or 22?

Remember about Inspire Courage. +1 to all attack and damage rolls. I believe spells count for that as well.

◆ Stride

◆ Cast Forbidding Ward targeting Red and Cassimon.

"Watch out behind you!" Landitho calls out as she plays her violin furiously.

Asketell steps forward, throwing a right cross with his empty fist, then following up with an upper cut. "Gaarrrggghhh!" the berserking Ulfen howls as he throws himself at the dark dwarf.

Unarmed Strike, agile: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Blunt, lethal: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Unarmed Strike, agile: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 8 - 4 = 13

Inspired Dmg: 1d18 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7

Cassimon tries to fend of the duergar with his glaive, but he has an hard time focusing on his foe with all the damage he just suffered

30 HP with Level Bump so 11 HP Left

@Eddie, Raise a wooden shield is +2, cover is +2 (but using a take cover action raises it to +4). All are circumstance bonuses so they don't stack. So I guess you want to take cover for +4, so no shield up.

Landitho wards his struggling companion and Eddie slinks in behind the pillar. Asketell lands a punch and Cassimon's glaive slices into the duergar leader as he bravely laughs it off. Morrin's hammer continues to harass its intended target, and Morrin herself is able to shrug off the previous burns.

Undaunted, the duergar force surges again. Bombs hit the two heroes charging in from the south. A bolt finally strikes Asketell from above. With a massive swing of his maul, the duergar crushes into the paladin's chest, dropping him where he stood in the cavern entrance. Just missing with his backswing on his Ulfen ally, he follows up with another that only scrapes awkwardly against the rock walls that frame him.

Cassimon glaive damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4
Cassimon flat check for persistent: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Pink Duergar (w/crossbow and mace)

Red Duergar (w/maul) -16 damage

Also don't forget your persistent damage flat checks at the end of your next turns everyone.

Landitho sighs as her companion goes down. "Cassimon. Please don't do that again. Stand up and fight!"

Her music is infused now with healing energy, hoping to heal Cassimon right up.

◆◆ Cast Soothe as a 2nd level spell (signature spell)

Soothe: 2d10 + 8 ⇒ (10, 7) + 8 = 25

◆ Sustain Forbidding Ward

I believe one more round of Inspire Courage.

The gnome bard is able to heal her friend nearly up to full health.

Round 3/4 - Bold can act - Inspire Courage is up!

Pink Duergar (w/crossbow and mace)
Cassimon -5 damage <prone, wounded 1, forbidding ward up with red, bravo's brew, 1 persistent fire> glaive dropped too
Red Duergar (w/maul) -16 damage

Asketell throws punches untill the duegar falls down.

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 1 = 15
Blunt, lethal: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 - 4 = 17

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 - 8 = 19
Blunt, lethal: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9

If he goes down, then Asketell will spend an action moving to another duegar.

Pink duergar sees Morrin stare at him very disturbingly.

demoralize pink duergar: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 Intimidating glare skill feat

damage: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 = 13
flat check to end persistent damage: 1d20 ⇒ 16

If I peek around this stone here... ZAP! An arcing jolt of electricity jumps between the yellow and orange Dwarves as Eddie's dark pupils disappear once more behind the pillar of stone.

Electric Arc, 30/60' Range: Basic Reflex Save DC18, Electricity: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Persistent Damage Flat Check DC15: 1d20 ⇒ 3
Acid Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

2 action cantrip, take cover. AC23 for the round.

Eddie's electric arc connects the bombardiers but Asketell is unable to pierce the leader's armor. Morrin's visage is more than enough to spook the sharpshooter, punctuated by her hammer obliterating it's own foe.

The remaining bombardier tosses a hastily prepared bomb before retreating behind the pillar. The very frightened sharpshooter cannot find paydirt and struggles to regain her senses.

yellow reflex vs arc: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
orange reflex vs arc: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Red Duergar (w/maul) -16 damage

Sorry, a little bit under the weather yesterday, 2d shot of vaccine made me groggy

Cassimon rises to his feet, trying to slap the fire away

Flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 13

He moves a little to get a better angle before using his glaive on the duergar, taking full advantage of the lenght of his weapon

One action to get up, Stride (to get a flank with Asketell, Reach weapon) and strike

Attack, Flank, IC: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 10
Dmg, IC: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6

Cassimon rises again and flanks his foe. The duergar leader swings in a wide arc and smashes Asketell deftly in the head, dropping him instantly. With a roar he invokes his innate power and grows to monstrous size.

red maul vs Asketell: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 301d12 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Round 4/5 - Bold can act

Asketell -26 damage <unconscious, prone, dying 2, juggernaut mutagen>
Red Duergar (w/maul and enlarged, enfeebled 2) -16 damage

Assuming Cassimon invokes Glimpse of Redemption so red is enfeebled 2 for a turn

Eddie shifts focus towards the now giant cave Dwarf, calling on the power of the fungal spirits to help. "Come now, we all must decompose eventually."

With a wave a odd plant creature erupts from the floor behind the giant, reaching out to try pummeling it. Yellow Musk Thrall

Slam, Flank vs Flat Footed?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 141d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Slam, Flank vs Flat Footed?: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 141d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Melee Single Action fist +7 [+2/-3], Damage 1d4+3 bludgeoning plus Grab and pollen touchLimb Extension Free Action Trigger The yellow musk thrall is reduced to 4 HP or fewer; Effect Creeper tendrils tear through the thrall's limbs, causing its forearms to tear loose. The thrall's melee reach increases by 5 feet.Pollen Touch When the thrall strikes a creature, that creature is exposed to yellow musk creeper pollen. The affected creature must attempt a DC 14 Will save. Once a creature succeeds at any save against Spray Pollen, it becomes temporarily immune for 24 hours.

Success The creature is unaffected.
Failure The creature is fascinated. For as long as it is fascinated, it must spend each of its actions to move closer to the yellow musk creeper that spawned the thrall as expediently as possible, while avoiding obvious dangers. If the creature is adjacent to the yellow musk creeper, it stays still and doesn't act.
Critical Failure As failure, but the condition doesn't end automatically. The creature can attempt a new save at the end of each of its turns. On a success, the fascinated condition and other effects end.

Entangling Tendrils (aura) 5 feet. Grasping tendrils extend out from the thrall. When the thrall ends its movement next to a creature, or a creature ends its turn next to the thrall, that creature must succeed at a DC 14 Reflex save or be grabbed by the tendrils.

Morrin turns her wicked gaze to suddenly enlargened duergar while directing the incorporeal hammer to strike the dwarf standing on the pillar.

demoralize vs. red: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

spiritual hammer vs. pink: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Last action to draw a healing potion

Wow! That was a nasty hit! Luckily, I believe that Asketell saved his hero point.

Landitho rolls her eyes. "Stay alive out there, Asketell. Don't you go dying on me too."

◆◆ Cast Soothe on Asketell as a 2nd level spell.

Soothe: 2d10 + 8 ⇒ (6, 7) + 8 = 21

◆ Sustain Forbidding Ward on red/Cassimon.

Landitho once again proves herself the lifesaver and Asketell eyes slowly open. Eddie's thrall is unable to hamper the duergar leader but Morrin's hammer does connect with the prone shooter.

The duergar bomber leaps off the shelf and gathers together a final bomb with Cassimon's name on it. The beleaguered sharpshooter turns her crossbow towards the sorcerer targeting her, and the bolt strikes true.

Eddie persistent acid: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Eddie flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 13

Cassimon fights desperatly, thinking this mission could end very quickly, and very badly

Asketell wakes up confused, spitting dirt and blood out of his mouth. "What? This ain't Valhalla!"!. Looking up he sees the giant duergar towering above him. "When did you get so big? Oh well, I can kick ya from down here!"

Unarmed prone: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 1 - 2 = 23
Blunt: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8

Blunt: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9

After kicking at the giant dwarf's legs, Asketell raises his buckler to protect himself against retaliation.

+1 AC and he will use a shield block reaction if the dwarf strikes at him

Cassimon cannot focus completely to strike with all the acid burning his skin, but is lucky to stop the worst of it. Asketell is able to kick the duergar's thickened ankle with his prone stretch.

The duergar leader steps back, pounds his maul into the ground to rally his remaining troops then land a hard blow straight through Asketell's buckler, splintering it to bits.

Cassimon acid damage before check: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

"Ah, good, good. None of you are dying. I can finally get to work.". Landitho closes her eyes and focuses on her music.

◆ Sustain Forbidding Ward on Red and Cassimon.

◆◆ Cast Sleep on big red guy

"Go to bed, big dude. It's bed time now."

DC 20 Will save

The hammer continues to whack pink duergar while Morrin drinks a potion.
Spiritual hammer: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

minor healing potion: 1d8 ⇒ 1

I didn't see it, did you have the big guy save vs the Tendrils? Or did I read the monster's stat block wrong.

Yellow Musk Thrall

"Don't let it get away, after it Muskie!" The Thrall shambles closer and lashes out again.

Slam: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 91d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Entangling Tendrils (aura) 5 feet. Grasping tendrils extend out from the thrall. When the thrall ends its movement next to a creature, or a creature ends its turn next to the thrall, that creature must succeed at a DC 14 Reflex save or be grabbed by the tendrils.

Eddie sends another jolt of electricity at the pink and red Dwarves while concentrating to keep his minion together and on task.

Electric Arc, 30/60' Range: Basic Reflex Save DC18, Electricity: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

First time using minions so let me know if I screwed something up. 1 action to keep the spell going, 2 for arc.

Flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 1

@Eddie Nope, I missed it...you are doing it right with the sustain a spell as an action to control it, but I think it is permanently slowed and thus only gets one action per turn instead of the normal minion two.

red reflex vs tendrils (previous round): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 barely

-------------
Landitho tries to slumber the leader, but it is just not happening. The thrall advances but the duergar sidesteps the flailing tendrils again. His electric arc is wildly successful against one of the targets, at the expense of the other. Morrin heals only a tad from the nearly empty potion bottle and her hammer whacks errant.

The duergar bomber draws his hammer and moves up to face the thrall, but only chunks against its hide. The sharpshooter has better luck with one of her bolts.

red will vs sleep (incapacitation in effect though): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
red reflex vs tendrils (this round): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Landitho
Eddie -17 damage <d6 persistent acid>

That is unfortunately not very clear. The rules for minions say that the command action gives the creature two actions; but it doesn't say anything about minions that have the slow condition getting less then this.
Consequently, I also don't think that hasting a minion would grant them an additional action either; as they aren't using their own actions but taking the actions that you've bestowed upon them via the command action. But that's just my opinion. I've hunted the forums up and down for a definitive answer though and I am eagerly awaiting an errata on this rule.

Asketell risks being knocked down again and stands up. Then if he has survived that long, he steps forward and head butts the giant dwarf in the knee cap.

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Blunt, lethal: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Good points Asketell. Pathfinder 2 has eliminated a lot of the confusion first edition had in its wording, but not all.

So, I'm going to rely on the phrase "Otherwise, the summoned creature uses the standard abilities for a creature of its kind." from the summoned rule to say that it has two actions normally, so it retains the two actions as a minion.

attack, flank, level bump: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 22
dmg: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

attack, flank, level bump, forceful: 1d20 + 0 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 0 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 15
dmg: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Cassimon tries to bring down the massive dwarf, marveling at the strangeness of the situation

Flat check, fire: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Went back and checked, I don't think Cassimon and Eddie have added in the +1 damage on strikes and spells from the level bump, so 3 extra damage on orange and red as a result. Every bit helps.

Cassimon and Asketell are both able to fight back against the duergar bully. Startled by the pair's brave persistence, he steps back and swings hard at the Ulfen (who has harmed him more) and a shield of force blazes up between them as the Ulfen slumps to the ground once again.

red maul vs Asketell: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 271d12 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 = 11

Round 6/7 - Bold can act
Cassimon -16 damage <wounded 1, forbidding ward up with red, bravo's brew, 1 persistent fire>
Asketell -26 damage <unconscious, dying 2, wounded 1, juggernaut mutagen>
Red Duergar (w/maul and enlarged, shield spell up) -39 damage
Landitho
Eddie -17 damage <d6 persistent acid>
--------------------------
Morrin <blur> -24 damage
Orange Duergar (w/warhammer) -15 damage
Pink Duergar (w/crossbow and mace) -7 damage <prone>

Yellow Musk Thrall

"Fine, get the close one then." The Thrall tries to clobber the orange Dwarf since its just too slow to smack the big red one.

Having to burn one of my actions every round for a summoned creature to only get one action seems very poor... but we need melee meat!

Slam vs Orange: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 241d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Entangling Tendrils (aura) 5 feet. Grasping tendrils extend out from the thrall. When the thrall ends its movement next to a creature, or a creature ends its turn next to the thrall, that creature must succeed at a DC 14 Reflex save or be grabbed by the tendrils.

Eddie keeps the infected thrall on task, moves a bit closer to the battle while ducking against the wall for cover.

Flat check, Acid Damage: 1d20 ⇒ 1

I also can't believe how poorly I've rolled on these flat checks!

Landitho continues with her violin music. "Ah, feel the magics flow through you and inspire you!"

◇ Attempt Lingering Composition

Performance: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

Crit success!

◆ Cast Inspire Courage - lasts for four rounds

+1 status bonus to attacks/damage and saves vs fear.

◆◆ Cast Soothe on Asketell.

Soothe: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Which means no Forbidding Ward up anymore. Also, out of spell slots!

"Stay with me Asketell! Don't die on me."

Morrin's hammer doesn't hit pink
Spiritual hammer: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 = 11
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

She then casts shield (AC 19) on herself and runs behind Asketell.

@Eddie I'm giving the thrall two actions pending an official clarification on the interaction between permanent slow and minions. So what does the thrall want to do with the other action?

I would have moved it to keep attacking big bad red. So step and strike red vs strike orange.

The strong violin notes fill the air as Asketell is brought around again. Eddie's summons steps into the fray and strikes out at the twisted dwarf. With a bellow, he blocks most of it with the protective spell but is ensnarled in the tendrils. Morrin's hammer wastes another divine blow and it's owner moves closer to the heated battle. The sharpshooter follows her advance carefully, and plunges another bolt in. The other duergar grows to match the leader's size and strikes out at Eddie, just missing his dodging frame.

red reflex vs tendrils: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
orange reflex vs tendrils: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
eddie persistent acid: 1d6 ⇒ 4
orange warhammer vs Eddie: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 171d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 2 = 11
orange reflex vs tendrils: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
pink crossbow vs Morrin: 1d20 ⇒ 191d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 191d8 ⇒ 7

Round 7 - Bold can act - Inspire Courage is up!
Morrin <blur, shield?> -31 damage
Orange Duergar (w/warhammer and enlarged) -15 damage
Pink Duergar (w/crossbow and mace) -7 damage <prone>
Cassimon -16 damage <wounded 1, 1 persistent fire>
Asketell -18 damage <prone, wounded 2, juggernaut mutagen>
Red Duergar (w/maul and enlarged, grabbed) -41 damage
Landitho
Eddie -21 damage <d6 persistent acid>

@Morrin Did you want to shield block reaction the bolt?

Yes, definitively using reaction to shield block. So only 2 points of damage.

Asketell draws the steel shield off his back, and blocking himself he gets back to his feet.

"What is going on? Where am I?"

I guess I'll shield block again when I get hit, unless it is going to knock me out and destroy the shield anyways. Although I think a 3rd knock out is going to kill him anyways. But no point in wasting s perfectly good shield

Attack on red, LB, IC: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 21
dmg, IC: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8

Attack on red, LB, IC: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 + 1 = 17
dmg, IC: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7

Cassimon switches targets, and attacks the new enlarged duergar, before the roots hampering its movement are gone
