The cleric, lacking any attack that would affect a swarm, retreats and prepares to heal the rest of the party.

Sparky says with a trembling voice, "I can unleash some flames if we get desperate." He steps closer to the insects and swings his club twice into the group trying to smash them.

Sparky swings at the bugs but misses hard!

Post when you can!

"Fire it is!" Sparky cries out. The poppet gestures and chants, producing a small ball of fire that he throws at the thousands of insects. He slips around Zano to be next to the empty hearth.

Round 3
Two Actions: Produce Flame
One Action: Stride

Produce Flame: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

waiting for a bit more.

Vak already attacked this round.

He swings a last 3 times hit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 dmg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 dmg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 hit: 1d20 ⇒ 1 dmg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Zano, I think we're waiting on Sylas; you already posted your Round 2 action.

Sparky Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 BURN!

Zano, you keep doing the most damage, so im coming for you again! DC 23 Reflex save and Fort if you fail.

Zano responds with three swings, but the stingers cause him to miss.

Sparky lights the bugs up! The bugs are hurt extra!

Post your next actions!

Vak reloads his sling, then casts a powerful healing spell on the dwarf.

Interact-Two-action heal

Damage cured: 2d10 + 16 ⇒ (8, 2) + 16 = 26

reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 That is probably a fail for fort, so I'll wait and see what happens before I act. On another note, Vak just healed me for 26. 26+21=47. But I took damage before he healed me, so I can't be overhealed. I'll be at full if I took 4 or less damage. For now I'm going to set my HP at 47/43 and subtract accordingly.

Seeing that his fire was effective against the swarm of insects he launches another small ball of fire at it. He takes another step back towards the door. "Zano be careful!"

Round 4
Two Actions: Produce Flame
One Action: Stride

Produce Flame: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
damage from critical: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

you are correct its a fail.
Wasp Venom (poison) Saving Throw Fortitude DC 23; Maximum Duration 6 rounds; Stage 1 1d6 poison (1 round); Stage 2 2d6 poison and clumsy 2 (2 rounds)

Right now you are poisoned and take damage. Roll for the DC each round to see if you get better or worse. Good luck!

Take your turn and good luck! Ill check back tomorrow and get to round 4.

dmg this round then: 1d6 ⇒ 1 now that I took my damage, time to attack hit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22 dmg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 dmg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 hit: 1d20 ⇒ 2 dmg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 at the end of the turn Can you crit fail, or is that only on the initial save?

Zano, you drop to the next stage since there is no stage below it.

Round 1, FIGHT!
Bug perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28 Move and sting!
Sylas Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Vak Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 swing and miss!

Zano Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 smack!
Sparky Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 Swing!

Round 3, FIGHT!
Bug (damage 44) perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28 sting!
Sylas Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Vak Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 SMACK!
Zano Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 swing and miss!
Sparky Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 BURN!

Zano smacks the bugs again and then misses on the second two hits.

Round 4, FIGHT!
Bug (damage 44) perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28 sting!
Sylas Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Vak Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Zano Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Sparky Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 BURN!

The bugs move to Sparky and sting! Reflex save and sting: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8 damage then fort save!

Then sparky burns the remaining bugs. They die on the floor.

What happens next?

Reflex save vs DC 23: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Fort save vs DC 23: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

So failure for both... :(

assuming nobody heals my poison, the poison last a maximum of 6 rounds, with stage 2 a maximum of 3 rounds.
fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 for round 2 of poison dmg: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7
fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 for round 3 of poison dmg: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8
fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 for round 4 of poison dmg: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10
fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 for round 5 of poison dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 6
fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 for round 6 of poison dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Leaves me at 7

Sparky cries out "Ohhh!" when the wasps sting him.
Round 1; Stage 1 Fort save vs DC 23: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

"I don't feel so well."

Round 2; Stage 2 Fort save vs DC 23: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11

Sparky begins casting a spell on himself. heal: 1d8 ⇒ 4

So, I still lost 10 hp, but the poison is stopped right?

"Zano let me help you." Sparky casts a healing spell on Zano.

This would be Round 3 Heal: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Players: What round of combat killed the most characters?

DM: Combat?[/ooc]

You are all done with the poison. It took a toll, but the bugs are dead and you are both clear of their evil.

What happens next?

"Who is hurt the most? I have magical and mundane healing to apply."

HO HO HO! Santa Ed brings you all one hero point. Checking in and happy holidays!

Thanks, and holiday greetings to you as well!

"Oh thank you, Vak," Sparky says. "My healing was paltry. I guess venom can poison my cotton fluff insides just like muscle and blood. Check Zano, if you have anything to nullify wasp stings that'd be great. He got stung many times."

Sparky is at 29/39 hp. Zano is at 11/43 hp (by my calculations -- so could be wrong). Thank you Santa Ed for the hero point! Happy holidays everyone.

"I shall see what I can do for Master Zano." Vak readies his healing tools and sets to work on the dwarf.

DC 20 Medicine check: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Cures: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (7, 1) + 15 = 23

"That should help, yes?"

Once the party is ready to move, Vak leads the way to another door down the hall and listens at it. Moved my counter on the map.

and we're off!

You head down the hall and enter the next room. Its quite. Thick dust has settled on the furniture in this seemingly unremarkable bedroom. As vak open the room, a painless, bloodless incision manifests across a
his forehead, completely encircling his skull over a few seconds; when the incision completes its circuit, Vak experiences a momentarily
excruciating headache before the incision vanishes. You all see this..
WILL SAVE!

Will save, E: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Yeesh...probably not a crit failure, so I'll leave it for now.

"Vak!" Sparky says after the incision vanishes. Will Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

DC19!
NOthing horrible happens, but you feel.... off. The whole experience is done in an instant, but you just feel off. that kind of off like a nap that ends bad and you are more tired then when you started. Not bad enough to just go back to bed, but bad enough that things are just not completely right.

Aside from that, the room appear empty.

What happens next?

The priest shakes his head and searches the room unless he's disturbed by anything.

You approach the door. This room’s mold-caked door isn’t locked, but it is stuck...Athletics check to Force it Open.

"Oh I don't want to touch this..." Sparky says as he presses against areas on the door jamb, testing where to push with force. He selects a spot and pushes, grunting, "Just need a little leverage." Finally he takes his club and puts the handle under the door. Grabbing the head, the poppet uses the weapon to put greater force on the door and then kicks the door's corner, hoping the combined power will open the door.

Athletics check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Zano will stand back and wait and see what happens before attempting himself.

Have we lost Sylas?

Vak also keeps back, knowing that feats of strength are not his forte.

I havent heard from him in a bit, but its the start of the school year, so it even hit me hard.

But with enough force, you get the door open

The northeast corner of this room features a dust-covered but made bed. To the south, a fireplace has shelves and dressers to either side of it. An overturned child-sized chair lays on the floor beside a low table between grimy windows to the north. Toys lay scattered over the floor, along with fragments of dolls and ripped-up pages from children’s’ books. The debris appears arranged in a roughly spiral shape and is caked to the floor with patches of mold. As you look you notice something the size of a child walking among the toys. Its made of bone and hate it turns to you and in a whisper begins to say Im sorry but you need to die!

Sparky Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Zano Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Vak Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Sylas Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
bones Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

Post your actions! map

Vak tries to remember something about the creature.

Recall Knowledge using Religion, E: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

The rest of his actions will depend on what (if anything) he learns.

"You don't sound sorry at all!" Sparky yells and chants words burning with positive energy. A lance of light blasts towards the skeleton.

Round 1

You both learn this is an attic whisperer you know everything

I think that's a critical hit on Vak; his AC is only 17, and the attic whisperer beat that by more than 10. If you do double damage, Vak goes down. Incidentally, what happened to the rest of Vak's actions after his attempt to identify?

poop. You'll know what you know. thats fine. how about the rest of everyone?

Zano is still deciding to fight or run
I'm next to it, I guess I got to fight light mace to hit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 dmg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 dmg: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Everything's good with me, but Vak isn't doing so well....
