Wander the path (Inactive)

Game Master Daedeloth

Shoot at Dwol's beastie!

Longbow: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 1 = 22
damage: 2d6 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (5, 5) + 9 + 1 = 20

Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 1 = 30
damage: 2d6 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (2, 6) + 9 + 1 = 18

Attack!

Scimitar: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28
damage: 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

Chack finishes Hal’s hound. Hal finishes Garric’s hound with the flaming sphere. Dwol swings and misses. Garric takes down Dwol’s hound. Hal can easily finish it the next round with some acid.

The fighting ends and the forest quiets, the only noise the sound of the group’s heavy breathing and the rain.

Was Chack serious about letting these things revive so she could kill them again? I'm so bad with nuance. Oh well, magic acid do your stuff...

Halafrin finishes off the last hound and then gives himself a dose of healing with his wand.

Well done everyone; I'm sorry I wasn't much more than a distraction.
Let's find out where they are coming from Garric, and burn out the nest.

More than a distraction?!?! You are the glorious spark that ignites all the fun! Ha Ha!

Chack bounds over, smacks Dwol on the back and jumps away.

Garric does another search, survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Garric doesn’t find anything of interest on the troll or hounds. The path the troll came down continues further into the forest.

In for a copper, in for a gold they say. Further down the path we go; lead on Garric!

perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Down the path I go

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

The group follows the path for another 20 minutes as the rain starts to come down a bit harder with occasional thunder and lightning to the north.

Leading the way, Garric signals the group to halt and points ahead to a pair of trolls standing to either side of a cave entrance just 30’ ahead and barely visible due to the rain and their natural camouflage blending with the rock behind them. The troll on the left has some cover due to some moss covered rocks in front of it.

The trolls don’t seem to be aware of the group yet.

Cast Gravity Bow from wand(48)
and Aspect of the Falcon on self

Halafrin casts web on the 2 trolls and the entrance. 1-to bind the trolls and stop them from going back inside. 2-to try and catch/stop and reinforcements easily joining the fray.

DC17 REF; 50 minute duration

Dwol rushes in to hack at a hopefully webbed foe.

PA: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 91d10 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

-Hopefully Dwol is a better Skylord than he is a warrior-

Chack? Is Garric still casting a spell this round given the attack by Dwol and Hal?

Time is of the essence as the trolls are likely to spot you which is why Hal and Dwol attacked.

I love this dwarf, he's crazy!

Chack will attack the other troll

Scimitar: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
confirm crit: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 14 + 1 = 27

crit damage: 2d6 + 13 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (2, 5) + 13 + 8 + 2 = 30

continue with spell

Garric casts gravity bow using his wand. Hal casts web catching one of the trolls and covering the cave entrance. Dwol attacks the troll tangled in the web but misses as he is too concerned about being caught. Chack rushes forward and slashes the free troll (this is the troll partially behind some rocks).

ref: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
ref: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

The troll on Dwol struggles against the web for a few seconds before ripping free.
“Gonna eat me some dwarf!”
CMB to break free: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

The troll on Chack can’t quite catch the nimble cat!
“Stupid cat stay still!”

Prepare to chip a tooth! Dwol slashes at the foe.

PA: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 161d10 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Halafrin moves within 30' of the troll fighting Chack and lobs some acid at it.

Chack Attack!! (I swear I didn't think of this when naming her)

Scimitar: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Dwol continues to have troubles with his axe. Hal moves up closer to Chack’s troll but is not able to get in a flanking position. Garric fires at Chack’s troll. Chack misses her troll this time.

1 is miss: 2d5 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6 Hal’s acid hits the rock in front of Chack’s troll but Garric’s arrow lands!

Halafrin does his best to move to a clear line of flanking sight while still being 30' away and lobs some more acid at Chack's troll

touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 71d3 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (4, 1) = 7

Rust? More like broken! What's wrong with my swing?

Longbow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

-booooooo-

Hal flings a glob of acid to the ground in front of him. Dwol wishes he was playing horseshoes or using hand grenades as he almost hits the troll. Garric fires arrows wide, his second nearly hitting Chack in the back of the head. Chack keeps up the attack opening another wound on her troll but it shows no signs of slowing despite numerous injuries.

Dwol

Maybe if I try with my eyes closed....

Hal fires acid at Chack's troll.

touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 91d3 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (5, 5) = 14

I'm as bad as the dwarf!

Fire at Chack's troll

Longbow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (6, 3) + 9 = 18

Dwol and Hal determine that misery loves company. But Chack and Garric take Chack’s troll down, someone just needs to prevent it from regenerating to keep it there.

Dwol

Ha-haaa; HERE we go!

Well struck Chack!

Halafrin rushes up and point blanks Chack's fallen troll with a splash of acid.

roll if required: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 141d3 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (1, 4) = 8

Shoot Dwol's troll

Longbow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

-bbboooooo!-

Stab the dead droll a couple of more times...

-51/55 hp

Chack’s troll is finished off while Dwol finally strikes true with his axe.

Dwol:
bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
dam: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
dam: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Didn’t Dwol get hit last round?

The crafty dwarf's defensive training against giants continues to pay dividends making his AC 27!

Now that I'm loose, I'll really show you something trolly!

PA: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 101d10 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Something pathetic I guess...-he mutters

They want him to be the Skylord?!

Halafrin moves to an advantageous position to aid in hurting Dwol's troll.

acid/touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 121d3 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (2, 1) = 7

Move to within 30 ft

Longbow: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 12 + 1 = 22
damage: 2d6 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4) + 9 + 1 = 18

Still stabbing, and bleeding, on troll.......

Dwol reverts to his old habit of missing. Hal lands a gob of acid. Garric lands an arrow. Chack slices at the troll carcass a bit unsteadily.

Dwol

“Me hates stupid dwarf, to small to crush.”

Yah, but you are too BIG to hit!

Halafrin continues to try and pepper Dwol's nemesis with threat inducing acid.

I think it's the 18th

I think it's the 18th

Ha! Then you should get to see Soto vs his old team.

Pads get Drury! Holy sminoly!

Guess they are serious!

The best 2nd place Division finisher in all of MLB! ;-D

As long as we make it to the playoffs, I'm good.
Anything can happen after that.

I hope Tatis learns to make better decisions soon.

Just trying to get rid of the ring worm he got chopping all that wood. It's a DR thing!

most disappointing

I love the feeling of cheating death by just pushing it into the future!

Death by giant half-elves? Nope, we will bring back dragon eggs.
Death by white dragon? Nope, we will bring back a giant's sword.
Death by fire giant? Nope, we will find some other huckster to take down.

I feel like we are in a Tarantino movie somehow, like Kill Bill 3 or something.

:-D

Lol, love it sir!

Little side story re Kill Bill 1,
When Malinda's dad lived with us, he lived in his lift chair right in front of the tv. One day I put on the aforementioned movie, Dale never said a word, until the end of the scene with the killer 88's...at the end of that fight, he turned to me and said, in a slow, low voice..."That's a lot of killing", only words spoken.

Think you guys have been bungling through things lately! You aren't going to be able to steamroll everything, you got pretty lucky with the giant leader.

Enemies with average or above intelligence are going to use it to advantage, especially ones that can prepare ahead of time, like the dragon. The first time you encountered the dragon he didn't have any spells up, when you came back he was able to cast Fog Cloud at will to fill the cave, also cast Shield to increase AC to 35, and fire resist 10. Casting Fly to avoid the ice was a great move, unfortunately it was too little for the super prepared dragon. Also would caution Hal to keep Dimension Door or something similar available in case things go badly in a big battle.

Feel free to use Knowledge rolls to potentially learn things about your enemies: how old the dragon was, what spells he might have, other powers, etc

You could also have used Sense Motive to try to determine if dragon was being truthful/deceitful each time that you spoke with him. You might have figured out he was lying the first time and truthful the second time.

Think you guys need to consider how to be sneaky occasionally.

Back to the giants: The goblins were merchants! You could have potentially gotten items from them that would have helped you against the giants and/or dragon. They had all the good stuff in bags of holding on them, not left in the wagon, because they aren't idiots.

Okay, think I'm done with my rant.

Whatever.

We are going to rest and head back up the mountain.

F@!$ that dragon and his fancy cave.

Fireball everything first and ask questions after is my new standard encounter approach.

What are the hp for 9th level? Is it max or roll?

Triple max I believe it was.

Max

Chack/Garric let me know when you have leveled up and are ready to go.

Ready to go!
