[Outpost V, PF2/Farol] #3-10 Delve the Pallid Depths (2nd table) (Inactive)

Game Master Farol

"For the moment, it seems there is an evil undead Duergar running around, so maybe we could take our accounts after dealing with her, eh?" Sindarin gives Dorgen his characteristic half-smile. He then becomes more serious.

"This is dark place in more ways than one. I don't want to spend any more time here than is absolutely necessary." He glances around him, on edge and alert for danger, as he moves toward the souther door behind Mandoo and Libitina.

As he leaves Dorgen, he claps the dwarf on the back "Let's hope your professional interests can be protected by my professional axe, eh! But we wouldn't know what we face if we didn't have you with us." he relents.

Granitt busily pushes his way through joining Mandoo going through the southern door, his axe and shield ready to face any fracas with Duergar, undead or alive.

Dorgen sighs as Sindarin speaks. "Thanks for standing up for me. I was afraid I was going to get lynched. Glad to have someone holding the group together."

@Dorgen - the diary seems to be months old. You believe last entries were made around the time when the Duergars were last seen

You leave duergars quarters into a long and wide corridor. It is lined with several sconces containing ever-burning torches, making this the most litten portion of the underground that you've been to.

To the east lies a large altar topped by a massive warhammer intricately carved out of stone. Ancient magic causes flames to flicker along the length of the warhammer, much like an everburning torch. From where you are you can see that altar contains carved symbols and phrases that could be read from a closer distance. To the other side, the corridor passes into natural caves where there is the path described in the journal.

To the south, there seems to be a large chamber.

Where to?

"Perhaps one of you young'uns with better eyesight can read that writing from afar, but I'm afraid I would need to get closer."

Voting east.

Mandoo squints in the direction of the massive warhammer and tries to make out the writing without success.

[Tina dear. Can you make out what's carved on the hammer?]
{No. We will need to get closer}
[It has a certain dwarvish charm to it, don't you think?]
{The giant warhammer -is- a bit of a giveaway}
[Yes, well; that's dwarves for you. Not exactly the most subtle of people]

Mandoo and Tina approach the hammer to better examine the runes.

I'm going with Religion here, mainly because Mandoo and Libitina suck at the other three magical skills.

Mandoo Religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Libitina Religion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

East it is.

He looks to see the altar and cannot stop from shaking his red hair and making it more presentable as he says in wonder. "I know that the duegar were here, but could this have been dedicated to Torag. What does it say, I must find out." He walks next to Mandoo and Libertina, as he looks to the altar.

Dorgen nudges Granitt in his side. "That looks like Torag's holy symbol. Seems like there's magic all over it. Want to go check it out?"

He follows Mandoo and Libitina, several steps behind. When nothing explodes in their face, he moves up to the warhammer to look at the runes and writing.

Sindarin moves into the room with the others and checks the area for anything of interest.

If he is already searching as his exploration activity, do I need to specify that he searches the room? I think the just happens automatically now with exploration, right?

Sorry for the short post. I am sick and just not up to more today.

@Sindarin you are correct, when you are searching it assumes you look through things ;)

You walk towards the hammer symbol, all of you, especially Granitt and Dorgen suspect that it symbolizes Torag. When you come closer you see the altar to have writings in the dwarven language, and descriptions. With a bit of time, you can read the description of "Quest for Sky".

On the altar there is also a phrase written that Granitt reads out loud in dwarven "An anvil is nothing without fire," and repeats it in common

After he does that, he hear voice

"The greatest anvils require the hottest fire. Welcome to the Forever Forge."

The voice sounds and each one of you understands it, regardless if you speka Dwarven or not. A set of new torches light towards the corridor to the east.

When you follow the corridor after few minutes you stumble on a cave filled with lava that does not let you go any further. Forever Forge is another plot hook ;)

Grannit drops to one knee in supplication at the sound of the voice announcing the Forge. His eyes close in revere, he has never felt so close to Torag. "Pardon my failures of the past, my reward is in hearing your voice submitting to your will in penance, protecting my companions." He rises, with renewed vigour, and with a contented look on his face, rather than his normal black clouds hangdog look.

He claps Dorgen on the back, "We must uphold the clans traditions and honour, this place was ours once!"

He retrieves his battle hardened battle axe and shield, raising them high, before setting them in his arms and getting ready to face the evil Duergar, his peoples nemesis. Whether they are some undead necromancer or not, Granitt's new confidence gives him hope and determination.

He marches onwards towards the natural caves and stands there guarding his companions, "Come, glory awaits."

Suddenly, an image of a flaming sword flashed through Sindarin's mind. An image from a dream. No...that isn't it. Still... Like Granitt, Sindarin's demeanor changes. He stands straighter, with his shoulders back, and seems more determined and confident than before.

He hangs back when Granitt leaves, torn between completing their original mission and following this summons to take another path.

Dorgen kneels next to Granitt. Though Torag wasn't his patron deity, it's good to pray to him every once in a while.

He stumbles as Granitt claps him on the back. "Yes, it's clearly His will that we cleanse these halls. Let's not dilly-dally."

He looks back at Sindarin. "Hey, c'mon, let's go. You don't want to get lost here, or you'll get eaten by another giant bat."

"This Torag seems to be a nice young man. Do you think we'll need to light his forge? Literally, not metaphorically."

Aleksandr contemplated the forge for a moment, but dismissed the idea that it would hold any answers for Imelia and himself.

"I doubt this is going anywhere. We should come back later."

[My my. These dwarves do take all of this very seriously]
{They believe Torag created the world and in the process brought about the first dwarves}
[Ah... yes. I can see where that might have left an impression on them. Is it true by the way?]
{Possibly. It was a long time ago and my memories have faded with the eons}
[Doubtless our mistress would remember. Perhaps I'll bring it up with her when we next meet]
{I hope that does not happen for a while yet}
[I love you too dear. Good thing I'm in no rush then]

When it is clear that no further progress to the East was going to be possible, Mandoo and Libitina return to the giant hammer room. "Well, that was interesting, but unless we all want to take lava swimming lessons, it seems we'll have to search elsewhere for the necromancer called Hedga."

He turns to see Granitt marching away to the West. "Hold up there my eager friend. Perhaps we should take some time to make sure these two rooms to our South are devoid of interest before we proceed to the caves."

Mandoo suggest two rooms south of you
Granitt wishes to go hunt necromancer, I need 2 votes to move you forwards

Granitt turns back as he hears Mandoo's words, "If you insist, but the greater evil lies out there." He stands guard, waiting patiently and stoically for the rooms to be searched, ready to defend his companions from any threats from the West, ready to go to their aid if they call for help.

As a player, happy for you guys to search the southern rooms, in fact I would too.

Mandoo is pleased that Granitt will wait for them. He suspects that whatever might be out there is more than the dwarf champion can handle on his own. "Excellent! This shouldn't take long. I'd just hate for us to miss anything important."

He and Libitina then move down the side hallway and look into the smaller room to the south east.

Sindarin nods decisively at Dorgen and follows the rest of the group back down the corridor. He follows Mandoo and Libitina into the two southern rooms and joins them in checking it for anything dangerous or of interest.

Brook trails after him, watching him closely.

Mrs. Perkins will search the rooms with Mandoo, focusing on detecting magic.

The small room Marked with 1 that Mandoo enters was once a storehouse for food, cloth, and other supplies, but its contents rotted centuries ago. The passage leading south from here ends in a cave-in after 30 feet.

You come back and enter the other room Marked with 2.

Yeah head into the room, it is roughly empty, some time ago the floor was cleared from any debris and in the corner, there is a chest and next to it a pile of clothing and other personal items.

Chest is roughly where number 2 is, the pile of clothing and items is in the South-west corner

Feel free to position yourself on the map, and specify your actions. ;)

Assuming someone is in front of her, Mrs. Perkins is 30' away, detecting magic. (She wouldn't be up front.)

After checking the southeastern room and the cave-in at the end of the hallway, he and Libitina return to the entrance of the larger room.

Feel free to position yourself on the map, and specify your actions. ;)

That's not the least bit ominous. It's probably just another room with nothing of interest in it.

{I have a bad feeling about this}
[Yes. Something about this place seems... off]
{The old lady is walking into a trap}
[We better make sure she stays safe then]

Mandoo calls out to the witch. "Um, Mrs. Perkins? Perhaps it might be best if we let Libitina and Granitt take the lead. That chest has a certain ominous look to it."

Libitina waits a moment for Granitt to join her and then approaches the chest while Mandoo remains with Mrs. Perkins.

Dorgen nods in agreement with Mandoo and moves up next to him. He knows better than to take the lead, even though he's aching to know what's in the chest.

Though he's quite curious about the contents of the chest, Sindarin reads the room and decides to stay back and let the more experienced, heftier members of the group check it out first. Brook begins to move forward but he quietly says, "Wait, girl." and she stays where she is instead.

Hearing the calls of there being a trap, Granitt walks into the room to see his companions all standing back and looking at a chest. "So what makes this chest so interesting, that you stand back and say it's a trap? " his red bread twitches as he thinks of the evil that lurks further on, yet his companions seem transfixed by a chest. "We can take it with us when we leave, if you're so worried about it. If you want, we can take it to the entrance and collect it on the way out."

Seeing the items and clothing in the southwest, over the chest, Granitt asks, "I don't suppose anyone has taken a look at that pile of rags and things in the corner? I don't know much but, before you discover the treasure you seek in the chest, check the easy things first." It's Dorgen, seeking treasures of the past before ridding the place of evil. Suppose I'll have to help them past their infatuation to get them to move on.

Reluctantly he stomps past the chest to search the pile of clothes and see what is there?

If nothing happens from walking past the chest, or by searching the clothes, Granitt goes back to study the chest for marking etc.....

You enter the room, moving slowly forwards. Mrs Perkins is looking for signs of magic but nothing specific comes up, she constantly feels necromantic energy lingering in the air. You move slowly forwards feeling the tension in the air.

As Granitt moves from the side entrance and moves next to the chest you first hear and then see assembling bones. Two warriors clad in armor are here to attack. Soon behind them assembles what looks like a giant beetle, as well assembles from bones and scraps. A feel of necromantic energy is now clear.

When Granitt joins them, Mandoo responds. "I didn't say the chest itself was the trap. Libitina and I suspect it is merely the bait. The danger may lie elsewhere, like say, ..." he points at the assembling skeletons in the corner, "...over there where those skeletons are reconstituting themselves."

[Looks like our sixth sense was correct, dear]
{Yes. It can usually be relied upon}
[I guess we better mop this bunch up then]
{That is why we're here}

Libitina sends her scythe back to the Boneyard and unfurls her wings as she strides forward to close with the enemy. Mandoo casts his spells to prepare her for the battle.

"ହାଡକୁ ହାର୍ଡେନ କରନ୍ତୁ."

Religion (Extend Boost) vs DC 16?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Libitina interposes herself between the nearest skeleton and Mrs. Perkins.

Libitina Action 3 (◆): Strike (+1 Ghost Touch Wing) with Boost Eidolon and Spirit Touch vs Red Champion

Libitina Wing Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 = 21
Libitina Wing Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8 bludgeoning damage
Libitina Wing Spirit Touch Damage: 1 = 1 positive damage

Sindarin focuses his attention on the skeleton closest to him and points at it. "Get it." Brook rushes in and bites at it. Shaking his head in wonder at her ferocity, the ranger draws his bow and prepares to fire.

Brook's attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

◆ Hunt prey, red skelly, ◆ send in Brook, ◆ draw bow
Brook: move and attack. I can't move the tokens on my phone, but she is immediately to the east of the red skeleton (immediately south of Libitina). I can update the map tomorrow when I am on the computer.

Given that Granitt was standing guard before entering the room, I assume you allow that he has his axe and shield ready.

Granitt steps forward to the large bug, raising his axe tries to hit the thing past it's obvious armoured body, before raising his shield. He lets out a shout, "Now what did I say, there's black forces in here!!"

◆ - Step
◆ - Strike Dwarven Battle Axe (potency +1, striking +1, ghost touch) 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25 damage 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1) + 3 = 8
◆ - Raise Shield

Will necromantic lackeys mop the floor with pathfinders?....Hopefully not!!!

Yes you may have weapons out. You know that those are dangerous ruins, I just ask you to be consistent. If you travel with a shield and ax and fall into a hole there is no catching edge for you ;)

Mandoo empowers Libitina who strikes at one of the skeletons. She hits them with their wing leaving a few broken bones Hit red -9

Sindarin designates wounded skelly as his prey and sends Brook after them. Wolf finds the opening and bite skeleton with their jaws, however some of the damage is not as effective as it could have been Crit -11 (resistance to piercing)

Granitt runs towards the beetle and strikes them with his axe. Then he raises his shield. He spots that his swing was a bit less effective. Yellow -3 (resistance to slashing)

Skeletons move to action, you can see that some o the bones begin reattaching. Fast healing

Red skeleton attack Libitina with his sword

Longsword@Libitina: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
Damage, slashing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Longsword@Libitina: 1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 10 - 5 = 17
Damage, slashing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Then the skeleton raises his shield. Hit and miss, Libitina -5

The other champion moves next to his companion and attacks
Whom, 1-Libitina, 2-Brook: 1d2 ⇒ 1

The skeleton strikes psychopomp

Longsword@Libitina: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
Damage, slashing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

But the sword misses. Then he raises his shield.

The beetle turns its head towards Granitt, who sees that all of the damage was already healed. It strikes with their massive head

Horn@Granitt: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
Damage, piercing: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Horn@Granitt, map(agile): 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 12 - 4 = 12
Damage, piercing: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Horn@Granitt, map(agile): 1d20 + 12 - 8 ⇒ (10) + 12 - 8 = 14
Damage, piercing: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Only the first attack finds a weak spot between Granitts raised shield and his armor. Granitt -7 (shield block?)

I am not sure but I think Granitt can't use his reaction to protect Libitina as she is more than 15 ft? Is that right? or not? If he can, then will he shield block or protect others?

GM, Battlemap links to the original fight, not this one. :)

Dorgen is too close to the fight for comfort. So he quickly retreats to the back of the room, then casts a spell on Sindarin's bow.

"Here you go lad, have fun with this."

Magic Weapon. Sinarin, your bow deals an extra die of damage, and you get a +1 to hit.

Granitt blocks the creatures strike with his shield, Hardness 5, Granitt and Shield -2HPs

Gritting his teeth knowing that it will take more to get this creature down than his normal strikes, he calls out "Just because your carapace keeps my axe at bay, I will have to hit you twice as hard with my blade." He grinds his teeth, his red beard flies in all directions as he steps to a more advantageous position before continuing his attacks

Libitina dodges most of the skeleton attacks, but one gets through and cracks a rib.

[Oh my. Looks like it got a lucky hit in]
{I noticed}
[Nothing too serious I hope]
{Tis but a flesh wound}
[Ha ha. I see your sense of humor remains intact]

Libitina takes another whack at the skeleton while Mandoo restores Libitina's protective aura ("ହାଡକୁ ହାର୍ଡେନ କରନ୍ତୁ"). He then sweeps his hand and flings a spell at the skeleton ("ଜୀବନ୍ତ ମୃତମାନଙ୍କୁ ବ୍ୟାଘାତ କର").

Map link fixed, thanks @Dorgen

Dorgen moves to Sindarin and casts a spell on his bow making it magic.

Granitt blocks the strike and takes a step to keep his allies within his range of influence. He swings with his ax, leaving a massive wound in the beetle. Crit Yellow -17, crit specialization does not apply as there is no enemy next to yellow :(

Then the dwarf hides behind his shield.

Libitina strikes the undead with her wing, the skeleton blocks the hit with his shield. Red -5, shield -5

Fort save, DC18: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 The skeleton withstands the magical attack but the damage is enough to take it down. Success on disrupt but still red is destroyed.

Mrs. Perkins moves and sends some of her witch magic to heal Granitt's wounds.

She is not sure what does are, they seem similar to the previous undead, but yet different.

Aleksandr empowers Imelia who strike with her wail, but misses. Miss.

Brook snaps at the skeleton again and Sindarin begins firing his bow at the same target. He looks at his bow, then nods at Dorgen. "You have some impressive magics there, my friend. Thank you!"

Does he need to direct her if she is just continuing her previous action? If so, he'll take one less attack.

Brook - 1st attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 = 17 Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 = 11

Brook: ◆ Strike, ◆ Strike
Sindarin: ◆ Command animal (or attack?), ◆ Strike, ◆ Strike

"Och, it's a basic spell, but it comes in handy a lot of times. It's good to have when you need to pack some extra punch." Dorgen grins and tries to pass it off as a minor thing, but he's happy that he's able to help out.

Sindarin, who are you attacking, anyway? If it's the same targets as last round, you might want to specify. Damage type might also be good to specify, in case of damage resistances.
Also, if I read the rules correctly, yeah, you need to keep directing your animal every single turn. It's a bit unintuitive, but otherwise you get a lot of actions for free. At level 6 or so you can take a feat that gives Brook 1 action every turn, even if you don't direct her.

Sorry, I thought I made that clear in the descriptive text. They are attacking the same one as before (red)...However, I see now that red was taken down. I was in a rush last night and missed that. So they are attacking yellow instead. If yellow goes down before their turn, Sindarin will call Brook back and shoot the bug. He doesn't want her in melee with that thing.

Thanks for the clarification about handling Brook. That was my assumption, but it does seem counterintuitive!

Brook attacks the other champion, but misses both times.

Sindarin sends two arrows but only the first one goes past the shield. hit green -1 due to resistance to piercing

Champion keeps on swinging at Libitina, his wounds healing

Sword@Libitina: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Sword@Libitina: 1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 10 - 5 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Both strikes hit and Mandoo protects Libitina from some of the damage of the first hit. The second hit catches Libitina in her neck leaving a massive wound, but Granitt intervenes protecting her.First resisted but deals -5 to Mandoo, and second -24+6(granitt reaction) = -18 due to being a crit. That makes you dying 2, prone and Libitina disappears right?

Then undead raises his shield.

Beetle heals and strikes at Granitt

Stirke@Granitt: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
Damage, piercing: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Stirke@Granitt: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 12 - 5 = 21
Damage, piercing: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Stirke@Granitt: 1d20 + 12 - 10 ⇒ (9) + 12 - 10 = 11
Damage, piercing: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

But the strikes smash into Granitts shield.

I did the math as well and it looks like you got it right to me. Strike 1 dealt 5hp (after Life Block), and strike 2 dealt 18hp (after Retributive Strike), for a total of 23hp of damage, reducing Mandoo/Libitina's hp to 25-23 = 2hp. So by my count, Mandoo/Libitina are still on their feet with 2/30hp and still in the fight, just like you have it in the encounter tracker. So unless I missed something, Mandoo is not at Dying 2, Unconscious, and Prone; and Libitina has not unmanifested. I will proceed as if this is the case. If Mandoo is out and Libitina gone, then ignore the rest of this post.

[Ugh! Even I felt that second blow. That is one lucky skeleton we're dealing with]
{It does appear to be more skilled than the first}
[Looks like your head is barely hanging on there my dear. I better do something about that before we go on]
{That would be the recommended approach in this situation}

Libitina uses her hands to keep her head from falling off while Mandoo whips open his medical supplies. He quickly applies soothing cream to himself and funnels the resulting healing to Libitina through their shared connection.

Going to take a shot at the DC 20 Battle Medicine as we're running on fumes right now.

Mandoo Action 1 (◆): Battle Medicine (Medic Dedication) on Mandoo vs DC 20
Medicine (Battle Medicine) expert vs DC 20: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Battle Medicine Healing vs DC 20: 2d8 + 10 + 5 ⇒ (5, 8) + 10 + 5 = 28 hit points healed

Made it. Coincidently, the number of hp healed exactly brings Mandoo/Libitina to full health. Now at 30/30 HP.

[There you go. Good as new my love]
{I'll get back to it then}
[Try to keep your head on your shoulders this time, eh? Ha ha]
{Very amusing}

While Mandoo flings another spell at the skeleton ("ଜୀବନ୍ତ ମୃତମାନଙ୍କୁ ବ୍ୟାଘାତ କର"), Libitina strikes out at their foe with her wing.

Action 2 & 3 (◆): Act Together
- Mandoo Action 2 & 3 (◆◆): Cast a Spell: Disrupt Undead vs Green Champion
- Libitina Action 2 (◆): Strike (+1 Ghost Touch Wing) with Boost Eidolon and Spirit Touch vs Green Champion

Disrupt Undead Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 positive damage vs DC 18 basic Fortitude.

Libitina Wing Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 = 12
Libitina Wing Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 = 11 bludgeoning damage
Libitina Wing Spirit Touch Damage: 1 = 1 positive damage

The ranger's eyes widen as he sees Libitina take a brutal hit. "Brook!" The wolf remains focused on her prey and bites at the skeletal champion again. "BROOK! Here!" Sindarin sounds slightly panicked now. This time, Brook disengages and returns to him. With her safe at his side, Sindarin steadies his breathing and fires at the skeleton again, hoping to do more harm this time.

Brook attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 = 18 Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8

Brook: ◆ Strike, ◆ Stride

Sindarin - 1st attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 18 Damage: 2d8 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3) + 1 = 6
Sindarin - 2nd attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 19 Damage: 2d8 + 1 ⇒ (3, 3) + 1 = 7

Sindarin: ◆ command animal, ◆ Strike, ◆ Strike

Post eaten, oh well, saved a spell slot, I guess.

Mrs. Perkins is about to heal Mandoo, but she sees he has already helped himself. "The Inheritor helps those who help themselves!" she declares, cheerfully.

Instead, she changes her spell to one that animates her hefty tome of The Acts of Iomedae. The book walks out behind Green and slams into it.

Spirit Object: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 vs flat-footed
Bludgeoning: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 = 10

She then shields herself.

@Mandoo - you are right, at first I forgot Granitts reaction so you were -3 dying and all that. Then I fixed the tracker but not the text ;) PBP classic ;)

Mandoo begins to patch himself, and as a result Libitina feels better as well. Healed to full

Then he sends disrupting magic to destroy the undead

Fortitude, DC18: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 Fail so green -8

Libitina attacks but her strike hits undead's shield.

Brook attacks but misses, then he retreats. Do you want me to move Brook

Sindari sends an arrow at undead but misses. Your hunt pray was on red, so you have to use one action to designate green as your pray if you want to use -3. Both attacks would miss so I will let you do that for green

Mrs. Perkins casts a spell and book strikes at the undead, but it fails to do damage.

I took care of Brook. I meant to do that before and forgot. To clarify, regarding hunt prey - are you saying you're giving him one less attack so that he could have designated green as hunt prey, or do I need to do that next round?

I was so proud of myself for remembering to take the hunt prey bonus on the multiple attacks. I completely forgot to switch it. *sigh* Someday it will get easier!

Dorgen legs it back to get closer to the fight again, then hurls a small piece of magically-empowered debris at the giant beetle.

◆ Stride
◆◆ Telekinetic Projectile

Telekinetic Projectile at Beetle: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 2) + 4 = 11
Woo, crit! Was debating whether I'd use my Hydraulic Push, too bad I didn't use it. Anyway, I'd like to do bludgeoning damage, if a particularly round piece of rock is available. Otherwise, slashing is fine.

Aleksandr boos Imelia who wails at the skeleton, her first attack is deflected by shield but the other hits. Miss and hit, green -5

Dorgen sends a a big piece of rock at the beetle, smashing them in the weak spot.

Crit beetle -22
