Legacy of Fire: Module 2: House of the Beast (Inactive)

Game Master BloodWolven

”We need to retreat. Even with the door we won’t hold them once their leader gets involved.” Sendi said. ”Or…” Seeing Aukan take down another gnoll she paused, looking to see what the others thought.

Round 6

He comes in hot and moves in to assist the rear guard!

***Round 7***

He swings his large greatsword at the coming unchosen in white again. The blade yet again just gets diverted from the thick hide of the beast.

Fighting defensively: AC 21.
Large +1 Cold Iron Gnoll slaying Greatsword of Legacy: 1d20 + 14 - 1 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 14 - 1 + 2 - 4 = 13
damage: 3d6 + 10 + 3 + 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 2) + 10 + 3 + (3, 4) = 29

"Liam get on the other side so they come in, rather than making yourself a target. Give us some flanking." He barks out as he continues to keep a defensive posture.

Bhashir stabs at the unchosen massive gnoll with his spear!
attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Round 6
Sassara keeps supporting the front line. Shooting up at the gnolls from the back.
water blast: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
damage(B): 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2) + 7 = 10

Round 7
As people are calling for retreat, she follows orders and slips up the stair. moving high enough that others can get in.

As you want, soon even bigger boy.

Vivi casts enlarge person on Aukan, and prepares to cover the next step of the retreat up the stairs.

”Right, we make a break for it. Aukan, fall back with us!” Sendi called out.

"Wait... what?! He states confused at the situation.

"Metal, Balan, and Thorgar, finish off those gnolls and then retreat. Then I will follow." Aukan commands.

***Round 7***

"Liam get on the other side so they come in, rather than making yourself a target. Give us some flanking." He barks out as he continues to keep a defensive posture.

"Uh, sure." Liam says, distracted by the newcomer. Where did he come from? he thinks. Nevertheless, he shuffles over to the other side of the door and waits to attack the first gnoll in.

Round 7

Liam moves to the other side of the door. Liam, Bashir, and Aukan all get an AoO on the white unchosen who charges but gets cut down by Bhasir and Liam. Then the other unchosen enter into the room pushing the corpse before them. Which provokes too, Aukan hoped that the others could take down the white one and swings for the next. Aukan is still unscathed and hurts the dotted red unchosen pretty bad.

AoO: Bhashir stabs at the unchosen massive gnoll with his spear!
attack: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 = 17

Vs. Aukan
claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Metal, Balan, and Thorgar move in and kill two of the gnolls. 3d20 ⇒ (15, 14, 17) = 46

Round 8
Metal, Balan, and Thorgar move in and attack the last two gnolls. One more is now dead. 3d20 ⇒ (12, 1, 19) = 32

***^*Round 8*^***

He swings his large greatsword at all of the unchosen starting with the one he already hurt. Great Cleave!
Large +1 Cold Iron Gnoll slaying Greatsword of Legacy: 1d20 + 14 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 14 - 1 + 2 = 23
damage: 4d6 + 10 + 3 + 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 1, 4) + 10 + 3 + (5, 3) = 30

crit vs green: 1d20 + 14 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 14 - 1 + 2 = 21

Bhashir waits for the carnage from Aukan then stabs at the unchosen massive gnoll with his spear!
attack vs orange: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 2 = 31
damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
crit: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 = 17
damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

The two of them take down Orange and Green before they can attack. Dotted red is barely hanging on, Sassarra's shot likely takes it down. The last unchosen sees what just happened and ran away. The boss walks up with his menacing axe in hands and says, "Wow I am impressed, now lets see if you can handle me!"

CHOKEPOINTS FOR GORUM! ALSO EAT A SWORD!
Vivi suddenly feeling overcome by battlelust, charges the gnoll leader
What am I doing?

Greatsword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 Crit threat
Crit?: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
damage: 3d6 + 6 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (6, 1, 6) + 6 + 3 + 3 = 25
damage if crit confirmed: 3d6 + 6 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (5, 5, 1) + 6 + 3 + 3 = 23
vicious: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6
self damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

”Are we not retreating?” She said, coming back to the room. Seeing the Goliath near soloing another fight she nodded her head, seeing that flight wasn’t needed. With Aukan in a choke point where was no need to fall back. He could handle anything that came by himself. Vivi held the other gap and was fighting well. With nothing else to do she walked up, ready to take Vivi’s space if the Warrior was wounded. She felt foolish now for wanting to retreat, for she had mistaken her own weakness or the weakness of the group.

Double move back to choke point and swift action lay on hands: 1d6 ⇒ 5

I am going to knock out myself with my next strike! Which would not be very healthy all things considered so some healing would be greatly appreciated!

Vivi informs the healers.

Round 7

Before Sendi left they would have healed her again, then follow.

CLWs to Sendi: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 6) + 3 = 13

Maybe Sendi will heal Vivi too with her lay on hands or finish healing herself. Giving you options since you would have been healed more before acting.

Sonora asks, "Who is hurt, so I know if I need to channel or do individual healing."

2 rounds without action . . ..

CLW lvl 1 from wand to Vivi: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW lvl 1 from wand to Vivi: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Thanks!

Round 7

Sonora asks, "Who is hurt, so I know if I need to channel or do individual healing."

Sassarra doesn't respond, being unused to voicing her own needs, but it is obvious she does not need healing.

Round 8

They weren't coming. and there was less snarling out there. She couldn't see much from the stairs, so she stepped out. "There's only a couple of gnolls left."

She sends a concussive gout at water at the leader.

water blast: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
damage(B): 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 6) + 7 = 15

Sendi moved up in previous rounds. Round 8 5ft step, swift smite and full action attack

Hit: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 1 + 4 = 29
Ignore DR Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 + 2 = 14

Hit: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 1 + 4 = 23
Ignore DR Damage: 1d6 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 12

Channeling the what divine power was available to her into her fists, Sendi stepped into the corpse-filled choke point and attacked the Gnoll leader. Guided as she was by the divine, her attacks were guided to their destination. They could have done more damage, as she didn’t put the correct force into them, but that was to be expected when using such an ability for the first time.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Damage, Slashing: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Liam slashes harmlessly at the leader.

Round 8

Liam pokes his sword around the wall and goes for a stab but it doesn't even touch the leader. The Carrion King steps up and swings at Aukan hitting him twice leaving grievous wounds upon the fighter. Aukan and Bhashir take down two of the unchosen clearing up the room. The healers come forward and with some touches they heal the enlarged Vivi calling upon her god and a musical note from Victrix. 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (6, 6, 1) + 6 = 19 Sendi waits until Aukan clears the room, seeing one unchosen left she moves forward and takes down the last unchosen in the room, saving smite for the leader, I am assuming. Sassarra hits the leader with a gout of water, 15 damage. Auso heals Vivi too. Waits until Aukan's show is done and then moves forward to slice the greatsword through the leaders defenses but he still doesn't look too bloody, 31 damage.

Sendi moved in and provoked an AoO from the leader and hit; or waits to move in as the unchosen are in her way of getting within 5 feet of the leader from Round 7. Nope changing Sendi's target to dotted red unchosen as he is in the way.

Goreshred: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
damage: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (4, 6) + 16 = 26
Goreshred: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
damage: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (1, 2) + 16 = 19

Round 9

Victrix has her banner in hand so she inspires the group from last round. The Carrion King sees more than one target and sneers. Taking a 5 foot step forward he swings with a roar and tries to cleave the three of you. He takes Aukan and Liam down with the cleave and brings back the blade to hit Vivi again and likely takes her down as well.

Vs. Aukan
Goreshred: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26
damage: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (1, 3) + 16 = 20 -4/61
Vs. Vivi
Goreshred: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27
damage: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (5, 5) + 16 = 26
Vs. Vivi cleaving finish
Goreshred: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32
damage: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (2, 1) + 16 = 19 -8/27
Vs. Liam
Goreshred: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30
damage: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (5, 4) + 16 = 25 -12/25

A flame ignites over Aukan's limp form.

6d8 + 6 ⇒ (1, 8, 4, 3, 8, 2) + 6 = 32

Round 9

He double moves forward stopping outside the reach of the leader but partially in front of the healers.

Thanks for having her do the smart thing

Acrobatics avoid any AOO: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Hit: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 1 + 4 = 28
Ignore DR Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 1 + 2 = 16

Hit: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 1 + 4 = 22
Ignore DR Damage: 1d6 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 13

Seeking Aukan fall, Sendi rushed over to the downed champion. She had no doubt that this foe was well beyond her, but she hoped to give others time to heal the Goliath. For what other chance did they have or surviving this? And if that meant putting her life on the line, then so be it.

HP after Crit threat from her last turn: 4.
HP at start, 27/27 due to healing from Auso for 8 and from Victrix for 19.

Sorry, going to be some mechanical discussions :).
Second post on page 13, I basically roll initiative twice and take the better, which enabled me to go before the boss. Meaning I get one last turn

Attack, inspire courage, power attack: 1d20 + 2 + 4 + 3 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 4 + 3 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 + 2 = 24
damage: 3d6 + 3 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3, 1) + 3 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 23
vicious: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8
self damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Hitting him for a respectable 30 damage, before 5 foot stepping out of his reach (which doesnt matter that much because he can and will 5 foot step up), but outside the adjacency of her allies, making all of 3 of them, Aukan, Vivi and Liam, not adjacent to each other.
Cleaving requires the secondary target to be adjacent to the first target. He is still going to take down Aukan (his first attack), and cleaving finish Vivi (his second attack), because cleaving finish has no such requirement, but it should leave Liam standing. Given how much damage Vivi dealt, its pretty reasonable to assume that he wants to take out her not Liam.

If Victrix stated inspiring this turn, damage dealt by vivi to the boss is a sizeable 61, if the inspiration began last turn, her crit confirmed and added another 27, for a total of 88 damage.

Double checked HP, I was at 2 HP after the crit threat, got healed by Auso for a total of 8 (bringing me back to 10) then got healed in round 8 for another 19, bringing me to full, before viciousing myself back to 22 in this turn. It is kind of hard for me to track HP due to vicious, as I may not know if I hit or not.

HP at end of my turn if my attack hits: 22.

Edit: Note: Cleaving discussion may be irrelevant because I cant see where Sendis token is, Sendi does not have reach, and probably sets the cleave chain back up.

As Sendi moves forward a smouldering red large female figure with hair like living fire emerges from the fire. Beside her are two more feminine figures.

This large lady takes a step back holds up her hands and shouts, "Ignitus Volarius!" A wall of opaque fire springs up in front of the Carrion King.

Round 9

Sassarra flees as fast as she can.

Another of them quickly says, "We are the emergency team. How can we help?"

She channels healing all within 30 feet of her, 3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 2) = 10.

She would cast CLWs several times on Aukan 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 8) + 6 = 22 and Liam 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 before they got back to the group.

With the whole group gathered she and Sorarya channel to heal the wounded, 9d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 5, 6, 2, 3) = 27 They each have at least another 4 channels if needed and other healing spells.

Aukan gets some more specialized healing:2 CLW: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (4, 8) + 6 = 18

"Does anyone else require some healing?! You should all try to get some sleep, guards and alarms will be in place. "

You hear the roar of pain from the other side of the wall. As the Carrion King retreated from the wall of fire to minimize the damage.

Metal and Balan have finished off the last gnoll in the other room. Then they follow the group back up the stairs.

Thorgar, Aukan, and anyone else help with those who are hurt and carrying the dead. Soon enough the group is up the stairs and past the webbed room before taking a breath.

Thorgar with Liam, Aukan with Vivi, and two new faces join your ranks; Nima and Sasha. The large woman does not ascend the stairs for minutes.

Before Alexandria joins your group and after the healing, Nima begins to console Aukan for the loss. She feels it is right and lays her hand upon Vivi's heart. With a sudden flash of energy Vivi is gasping for air and alive once more. She looks as healthy as the rest of you. Though she might need a few moments.
---
Though what Nima asks is hard for most of you as you thrash in your sleep with nightmares of gnolls or worse. Will DC 12 to get a good night's sleep. Also if you do rest well then you may level up.

Even as he is healed he walks. A sorrow in his heart that another companion has died. Her limp body in his arms. Getting past the webbed room he collapses in the closest corner crying and saying, "I am sorry... sorry... SO SORRY!" obviously blaming himself for her death.

Then the calm touch of Nima turns his head from Vivi and all he does is cry. He knows the words are worthless. If only he could have been stronger.

Then the flash came and she breathed once more. Realization dawned upon him and he quickly crushed her in a bear hug, new tears of happiness. His words turn to praise as he sees the glowing holy symbol around Nima's neck, "Praise be to Gorum, that the just shall prevail and the ruthless be destroyed!" He then releases Vivi, helping her up if she is ready.

A few rounds after the ressurection of Vivi, she enters from the webbed room. She nods to the group and stays there at her post her large steel glaive held by one hand, the metal is bright from the heat within a foot of her hand.

"Sasha a word," She says trying to get Sasha's attention.

A ebony wooden door with fire runes written all upon it comes into existence on the nearby wall. Then Alexandria offers, "Come into our sanctuary so that you may get a wonderful night's rest with no worry."

Opening the fiery ebony door you find a portal of red, orange, yellow, all swirling like a fire into the center which is black.

Beyond the portal you find two large baths on either side of the entrance. The air is hot and humid, with enough steam you can only see a few feet away.

A water mephit offers, "The water is fine come in and soak your tired and weary bodies. Leave your clothes on the bench we will launder them." Then you see several more water mephits and some fire mephits at the far end of the room. There is colorful blinds blocking between the pools and beyond to the rest of the room.

Nima would offer, "Feel free to change at the other end of the room should you want modesty." She and the mephits help with anything you might need. Alexandria reduces her size to medium and simply walks to the back of the room. There you can find her resting in a pool of lava, her glaive resting nearby.

Sasha is the last one into the mansion. She went and collected your extra gear, likely with the help of Thorgar and Victrix.

Sassarra slides off her clothes with no need of modesty, though she does fold them carefully into a small neat stack. As she does this, her eyes are locked on the pool of water. She addresses the mephit is the sibilant flowing tongue of water. "I appreciate your hospitality, cousin. And the generosity of your Lady."

She will slide into the water as if it is a new home, and within minutes she is asleep, floating peacefully in the warm clear water.

will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
hp: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Once into safety, Sendi sank to the floor and put her head in her hands. She had thought herself dead. By some strange fortune she had survived being impaled by a sword. Not everyone who had come in could say the same. It was a traumatic experience to say the least. Moreso, where did the fire come from? Who were the new people who had suddenly showed up? Was there any way actually out of the gnoll warrens? It was all too much for her to process.

No Valhalla for me I guess. I think I saw Gorum? But his Shadow looked feminine and waved at me? My mind playing tricks? Lets get a good night rest and benefit from our experience? Like, not just near death, actual death. I also need to plot that effing Gnoll Kings demise. I will not start running, but lets fight that jerkface smartly.

We definitly did a number on his henchmen. Hmm, the chokepoint was good against his goons, but bad against him. Ideally we catch him in the open, make him dazzled, blinded, slipping on something while Sasassara pelts him from range! She seemed quite proficient at hitting him. Hmm, what else, he seemed pretty slow, creating difficult terrain could screw him a fair bit.
If anyone can cast grease, him trying to comically grip his effing Axe and failing would do wonders for everyones trauma.

Vivi then hops out of her clothes, and dumps herself into the free bath.

She keeps energetically talking about cunning plans, as she babbles off into sleep.

willsave: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 (unless its charm or compulsion I fail), I could argue that irrepressible could work here.

He follows Vivi into the mansion, there he diverts to the men's side. One of the water mephits shoots water and scrubs him clean of all the blood, then it pulls off his pants. Aukan just rests in the pool emotionally and physically tired.

Missed the will save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Liam comes around confused. What is this? I thought I'd been killed. As Sassarra and Vivi disrobe and get in the hot tub, he tries not to stare. Is this heaven? But why would there be mephits? Shrugging, he removes his clothes and leaves them folded on the bench, then he joins the others in the tub. He is, however, careful not to get in too close to the others, for propriety's sake.

fickle finger of fate: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Drifting in the currents of the pool, the sleeping Sassarra bumps into Liam. Her arm slides across his chest and instinctively pulls him closer to her.

After the post about propriety, this just had to happen.

Vivi becomes somewhat awake for a second, sees Sassara and Liam embracing and gently chuckles herself back to sleep thinking This will increase our numbers!.

[dice=fickle finger of fate]1d3

After the post about propriety, this just had to happen.

Of course it did! lol

Liam feels something across his face. His eyes drift open, and he reaches up to brush the hair from his face. But..that's not my hair. Its too dark. he thinks. Only then does he notice Sassarra's body next to his, her arm across his chest. Wait. Did we? No. he mentally shrugs, and reaches his own arm up from under her, returning her embrace, his hand resting on her lower back. Then he relaxes, trying to rest and enjoy a woman's embrace. It's a difficult balance, but eventually he drifts back to sleep. Maybe this is Heaven, after all.

As you sleep within the water you have wonderful dreams that let you completely rest. When you wake up you find yourself in a bed, with blankets of fur covering you. You don't remember how you got there. Liam and Sassarra are in a bed together. Whereas the rest of you are alone in a small room, with your bed, a set of drawers, and a side table near the head of the bed. Your gear and clothes have been cleaned and fluffed, leaving them feeling like new. The rest of your gear is on top of the drawers.

All fatigue is gone, everyone should have leveled up, be at max hp as the cleric channeled and checked everyone.

A mephit waits outside of your door to escort you to the gathering hall, where a large table sits 20 easily. The chairs are all missmatched but are comfortable. Nima, Sasha, and Alexandria wait there for their guests to arrive. Plates, goblets, crystal glasses and silverware are arranged nicely for each setting. They are munching on cheese cubes, ham cubes, and pickles with a cheesy fondue pot between them.

The Ifrit with the Undine, how steamy I guess?

Vivi gets dressed, chuckling to herself.

Before a furious growl in her belly reminds her how long it has been since her last really good meal.

Omnomnomnomnom As she joins he eating.

Great beds! Nom! Thanks for the Hospi-nom-tality nom She pauses

Assuming her immidiate hunger flash is dealt with, and the rest of the party has arrived, she ventures forth to say

Friends, I have a cunning plan. We know where the Gnoll f%$@wit lives. That guy is probably going to stay in his throne room. So, lets cut him of from all possible other sources of support, by killing everything else in the dungeon that is his first, and then put him down like a rabid dog he is, in a stupid bunker, trying in vain to summon allies which at that point only exist in his febrile mind with none of his lackeys having the bravery to tell him that they are all dead!

"Here here! That sounds like an excellent plan Vivi!" he states in response.

She woke up next to a man and quietly slid out of bed.

stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

It was Liam, who was nice enough, but she doesn't know if she would have chosen him.

She did not feel hurt or abused, but being given to one of them without a choice implied that this freedom was not as absolute as they had promised. She had heard of owners like this from other slaves. They did not want to be called "master", but they were much the same. They reported that this was merely cruelty in another form, as nobody knew how to respond. Responding like a slave drew anger, but so did responding as if they were free.

More specifically, she didn't know what Liam would have liked. Some men require great praising of their virility and what amazing lovers they are. Others want slaves to go away as soon as their needs are taken. Though she suspected no man would be happy hearing their partner didn't even wake from this. There must have been drugs involved.

She would risk his anger either way. She figured that if he was angry she could play the shy card and say she didn't want to admit his prowess in public.

Quickly, she dresses and comes out to the group. There is a feast, and the dishes seem to be moved by invisible servants. She expected that people would not be needed. She moves up and pauses before sitting.

He sees Sassarra enter and waves at her, "Come have a seat and fill your belly there will be plenty of food. The wondermeal will hold out and we can't let this feast go to waste!" Looking at the others he watches to see how each of you are faring.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

He is sitting next to Alexandria but the chair on his other side is open.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 Can't possibly roll high enough to beat Sassarra's stealth check even if I was awake, but rolling anyway.

Liam doesn't notice Sassarra leave, or even know she was ever there. He eventually wakes up and wanders into the hall where the others are eating, and finds an open seat.

Sassarra will eat heartily. They obviously want to show off their generosity, and she has missed enough meals to never turn one down.

Especially when they may be dying soon.
