Dungeon Master S's "Shadows at Sundown" (Inactive)

Game Master Chris Marsh

The spell ravages the party. Black Dhougal drops, and the glassworks continue to crack. Why dying 3? You weren't Wounded 1. Should be Dying 2, yes?

Tully pops the blister on the vampire while hastening Crowley. FORT: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (12) + 24 = 36 the fighter dodges all of the spell and then quickly connects for a pair of hits.

Nakapan also dodges the spell and lands a hit of his own. FORT: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (16) + 24 = 40

Both the fighter and the monk find their hits slightly muted in efficacy.

Reflex save, DC 33: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24
Esme grits her teeth, managing to not succumb to the pain. When she seems Dhougal drop the cleric takes several steps forward to bring divine succor to the half-orc.
Heal (2-Action): 6d8 + 48 ⇒ (3, 1, 5, 2, 3, 4) + 48 = 66

Black Dhougal was indeed wounded 1, becasue he was dying, then lost the dying condition, and then was dying again due to a crit (crit fail, but still a crit). Hence the calculation of Dying 2 to Dying 3.

If you lose the dying condition and do not already have the wounded condition, you become wounded 1. If you already have the wounded condition when you lose the dying condition, your wounded condition value increases by 1. If you gain the dying condition while wounded, increase your dying condition value by your wounded value.

The wounded condition ends if someone successfully restores Hit Points to you with Treat Wounds, or if you are restored to full Hit Points and rest for 10 minutes.

The heal spell doesn't remove the wounded condition.

Right. I forgot that Medicine does, but heal does not, because Medicine is dumb.

Esme thinks quickly channeling some energy into her teammate.

Sadlark begins a dirge on the field, hoping for any advantage.

Black Dhougal staggers to his feet, a bloody grin on his face. Not quite dead yet, friend, he mumbles, evoking one last spell and hurling it at the Progenitor. Cast searing light (H +3) using two remaining actions.

spell attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35
fire: 11d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 6, 3, 5, 3, 2, 4, 3, 3, 1) = 37 and good: 11d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 4, 2, 4, 4, 3, 5, 1, 3) = 31

Stand ◈, verbal & somatic components to Cast a Spell.

Black Dhougal gets some revenge as he drives a spell of searing light through the progenitor's chest. The vampire staggers, but does not burst into smoke.

Furious, and heedless of the odds and the breaking equipment, the vampire turns its focus on Crowley, leveling a spell that looks like the exact inverse of Dhougal's:
ATK v. Crowley: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (11) + 25 = 36 Crowley takes 70 Negative damage, basic FORT DC 33.

Suddenly the glass shatters. The blood contained within erupts with some kind of life force. Occultism to ID

It immediately extends semi-hardened blood forth to slam into Crowley and Nakapan:
ATK v. Crowley: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (20) + 28 = 48 for DBL DMG & Acid: 2d12 + 14 + 2d6 ⇒ (3, 9) + 14 + (2, 1) = 29

Sadlark tries desperately to recall knowledge about bloody oozes.

He then devises a stratagem:

1d20 ⇒ 2

Grumbling to himself he continues his dirge of doom.

occultism: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (18) + 21 = 39

Tully isn't sure what he's looking at, but Sadlark thinks it's some kind of extra potent carnivorous blob. Carnivorous blobs are the ravenous spawn of shattered worlds far beyond the stars, born across the galaxy in inert form until they fall like meteorites onto unsuspecting worlds. These massive beings can lie dormant for years in desolate caverns or barren wastelands. Sadlark knows that they work on base instinct alone, and are fast enough to lash out at anything that harms it It has a type of AoO triggered by being injured. He also knows that cutting it may make it split...

Frustrated at the lay of the land, Sadlark continues his dirge.

Vampire dead, Sadlark switches to an inspiring verse.

Inspire Courage.

He puts two fingers to his temple and uses the power of his occult mind to fling a piece of rubble at the horror from beyond the stars:

Telekinetic Projectile, IC: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27
B: 6d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 5, 5, 1, 2, 2) + 4 + 1 = 24

Maybe it has ooze AC…

Fixing Constrict DMG: 2d12 + 2d6 ⇒ (2, 10) + (3, 2) = 17

Sadlark switches his song to something in a major scale and then rams a piece of stone into the blob! the stone is swallowed up, but it did shudder like it "hurt."

◆◆ Power Attack
◆ Strike

The wizard is frustrated at this monster's hale nature--his most effective spells are sure to be resisted. Instead, he reaches into himself, and throws his hand palm-out in front of him. Eldritch energy gathers on the symbol of Pharasma on his robes, then courses down his arm toward the blob.

Call of the Grave...

spell attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (9) + 21 = 30

looking at the 29 that Nakapan hit with, this appears to be a "success." Blob is Sickened 1

Tully infuses the blob with necromantic power. It shudders a bit as the necromancer works his magic.

Crowley takes it all and never misses a beat. He cuts the blob.... and then the unthinkable happens. The cleft deepens as the blob takes the hit and then splits into two completely equally sized blobs! Giving you your third action back if you want to try something else...

It then also lashes out at Esme:
Reactive Strike: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (6) + 28 = 34 for DMG: 2d12 + 12 + 2d6 ⇒ (10, 3) + 12 + (4, 5) = 34

why did Nak’s HP suddenly drop from 109 to 79? Is that a mistake?

Round 4

Reflex 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (4) + 23 = 27 balls!

The monk moves to close range knee and elbow strikes.

Flurry1 1d20 + 23 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 23 + 1 = 41
Dragon knee 2d10 + 7 + 1 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 1) + 7 + 1 + (4) + (3) = 20

Flurry2 1d20 + 19 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 19 + 1 = 40
Dragon elbow 2d10 + 7 + 1 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 4) + 7 + 1 + (4) + (4) = 21

Attack 2 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 1 = 32
Dragon knee 2d10 + 7 + 1 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 7) + 7 + 1 + (2) + (1) = 22

It is a mistake, I took it off Nakapan instead of Esme Nakapan gets swallowed by the blob! Acid: 2d10 ⇒ (4, 9) = 13

Black Dhougal has no real way of slicing the others out, so opts for brute force instead. Cast scorching ray ◈◈.

spell attack vs. Red: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (3) + 21 = 24
fire: 12d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 2, 5, 1, 5, 2, 2, 2, 5, 6) = 40

spell attack vs. Black: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (7) + 21 = 28
fire: 12d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 2, 6, 1, 4, 5, 3, 4, 2, 6, 4) = 47

well, at least they have Ooze AC...?

He then retreats near Sadlark. This is going well...

Verbal and somatic components to Cast a Spell, Stride.

Black Dhougal's spell easily burns both blobs. It completely blows one of them apart! Blood flies everwhere, coating everything.

The other lashes out against 1d2 ⇒ 2 Esme:
Reactive Strike: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (17) + 28 = 45 for double DMG: 2d12 + 14 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 12) + 14 + (4, 2) = 36 Dropping her to the floor!

Crowley releases the grip on his blade. Holding his hand out at the blob his wrist bends back on a hinge 90 degrees in the opposite direction it should bend as a cannon blast bursts from his wrist.

+1 Striking Flaming Hand Cannon: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34
Damage (B): 2d6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 2 + 6 = 12
Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Jamming his wrist down he tears a new bag of powder with his teeth and pours it into the hold in his arm and fires again.

+1 Striking Flaming Hand Cannon: 1d20 + 19 - 5 ⇒ (9) + 19 - 5 = 23
Damage (B): 2d6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (2, 3) + 2 + 6 = 13
Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

◇ Release grip on Greatsword
◇ Shifter Prosthesis hand into a Hand Cannon
◆ Strike
◆ Reload
◆ Strike

Tully tries to escape...

acrobatics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17

...in vain.
acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Crowley's single shot causes the blob to explode apart! Tully drops to the ground, catching his breath. It's hard to believe it's over, but it is!

For that fight you each earn 130 XP, and Black Dhougal earns a Hero Point for the twin fire attacks that made a huge difference!

Tully falls to his knees, spitting out the mouthfuls of blood, scooping blood out of his eyes.

After a moment when he is able to simply wheeze rather than choke--still on his knees--he gasps out glad I could help

Black Dhougal immediately uses a level 3 two-action heal spell on Esme.

healing: 3d8 + 24 ⇒ (7, 5, 4) + 24 = 40
