[Gameday XI] GM Zin's Race for the Runecarved Key (Tier 1-2) (Inactive)

Game Master Zin Z'arin

Tarka and Khon'Ur team up to finish the hydra off. Axetongue's guards swarm in with nets, long sticks, and ropes, but it quickly becomes clear that none of that is necessary. When the hydra's death becomes obvious to the observers, many cheers erupt from the stands, though a few boos can be heard as well--clearly some were betting against the group of Pathfinders!

Axetongue approaches you with congratulations. "If you follow me, I've got a bag of coin for you in the office. Don't worry about that thing; I make enough on the gambling to buy three more and still turn a profit. Cost of doing business!" he laughs, unrepentant.

True to his word, you are sent off with a little bonus on top of the 800 gp you were promised. You return to Heidmarch Manor with some extra funds for bidding, and get ready for the auction proper.

Seltyel returns happy to the manor. A hydra and he did not get a single scratch!

The last of the attendees are shuffled into the Cathedral of Abadar and the crowd eagerly await the beginning of the auction. A portly man takes to the stage, and with a voice like a foghorn declares, "The auction is open!" which sets off a hum through the crowd as people start jostling for position and readying their auction bidding paddles, as though they were cutlasses with which to defeat the auction itself.

Falrig Sneve looks around at the readied crowd with a broken resolve and shakes his head. "Too much competition and too rich for my blood. Fold!"

Before the bidding can get underway Maiveer Sloan calls out, "I don’t have the funds on hand, but let my organization put down credit on the key! I can have the extra funds in a few months and you know we’re good for it!" The auctioneer purses his heavy lips in sympathetic understanding but the proctor interjects, "The rules state this auction would be a fast sell only with coin in hand."

"Sir! I protest!" Maiveer pleads. "I have been victimized and robbed - and though I make no issue of it now I protest that I would have had the coin had it not been so! The rogues, robbers, and conspirators sit right under this very roof and gain from this injustice!" The proctor, having none of it, simply replies, "Contain yourself sir, or the church will have you removed."

Once it becomes apparent that there will be no further distractions or drop-outs, the bidding then begins with fury, paddles being thrust into the air representing thousands of gold at a time. Kresch Vaor is the first to reach her limit as she calls, "Bah, too much for an old key. Proctor, I’m out. Have one of your clergymen transfer my deposit to my personal account."

Though you might have thought the distractions and interruptions were over, you’re proven wrong when a group of toughs barges in and heads straight for Dymal Rinks. "Oi, Rinks! Minvandu wants a little word with you," the ringleader explains with a grim expression. Rinks begins to protest, but two burly half-orcs simply grab an arm each and pick him up and start walking out. As much as some of you might desire to get involved, you know that it would likely jeopardize your whole mission - so for now, you opt to not get involved. On the way out Minvandu’s chief legbreaker pauses and turns to the proctor. "Sorry about this interruption, bit of confusion needing to be dealt with and all. Whatever deposit Rinks tried to put down on the auction belongs to our employer, Mr. Minvandu. I’ll send someone around later to collect it, after the boss has a few private words with Rinks." Rinks is then dragged out of the auction house, kicking and screaming.

The auction begins again in earnest and the number of bidders continues to thin as The Duchesses, distant and mysterious as always, silently signal their desire to tap out. They quickly exit the premises.

Doctor Landis starts to make another offer and then seems to decide against it - some concern playing at the back of his mind no doubt. He lowers his hand, and simply gestures that he’s cut himself off by waving his hand across his throat.

With only Pathfinders and Lady Kaddren remaining in the bidding war, the atmosphere gets tense - it is clear that Lady Kaddren is determined to win. Yet as she is about to bid another breathtaking sum, a runner presents her with a note which she quickly reads. After, she grimaces at the assembled crowd and in a threatening tone says, "This time, you got lucky. From here out, you might want to watch your backs." Then she turns to the proctor and tells him, "You can close my bids out" before tucking the note into her cloak and storming out of the cathedral.

All of the other bidders now gone, the auction proceeds until only one Pathfinder table remains in the running. "Going, going, gone! And sold to Table Five with the red coloured paddle for a final price of forty thousand gold pieces! Table Five, please send one representative to the front of the room to claim your prize!"

A seasoned half-elven Pathfinder who identifies himself as Omrax the Bold strides up to collect. Just as the auctioneer is about to hand Omrax the prize, a tremendous flash of light and smoke appears behind the auctioneer and the very fabric of reality is sliced open! Seconds later, a black-robed figure steps through the rift and pulls a jagged black-bladed dagger across the auctioneer’s throat, sending a shower of blood into the screaming crowd of bidders. The remorseless assassin snatches the Runecarved Key and in a fit of mad laughter bursts into dozens of shadowy black forms, each fleeing from the cathedral in a different direction!
______________

Table GMs, begin Act Four!

Full of wrath by the scene, Seltyel draws his sword and runs towards the closes shadowy black form.

Assassin!

Suddenly an ear-piercing whistle sounds. Without warning, the stained glass windows of the cathedral simultaneously shatter inward in a colorful barrage of flying glass.

Everyone needs to make a DC 10 Reflex save to avoid the falling glass. Roll 1d6 damage (P/S) with your save; take half that damage (or none if you have evasion) if you make the save, full damage if you fail. You may roll off-screen healing from the hydra battle first; you had time to do that while you were getting ready for the auction.

Amid the rain of glass shards, a horde of cultists comes crashing through the now empty cathedral windows. With weapons drawn, they attempt to surround all the patrons inside, blocking their escape and delaying pursuit of the assassin. Your goal at this point is to get past the cultists and out the front door, marked with the blue arrow. Of course, fighting the cultists is a viable way of getting past them.

Map updated!

REflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Glass damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

The large Shoanti man takes the brunt of the glass breaking, and seeing the cultists arrive, flies into another rage! He sprints after the man, using his long legs to cover the ground more quickly than one would expect a man of his size to... Stopping behind the green clad cultist and spinning, earthbreaker in hand, daring the man to try...

Since they haven't acted, they don't get AoO? If they do, Kalak will take one from red and one from green

Rage 7/12, +4 HP total of 24 now

Shocked by the turn of events, Leo is barely able to cover himself to avoid the worst of the falling glass.

Reflex save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Not being quick enough to get past the cultists with speed, he decides to move directly towards the door, planning on fighting his way out. Pulling a vial from his bandolier, he throws it at the nearest cultist.

Ranged attack (bomb vs red): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Damage (P): 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Reflex save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Seltyel uses his shield to cover himself from the glass shard and only a small one scratches his arm.

1h bastard sword attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Without hesitating one instant, Seltyel goes for the closest cultist and attacks him with his sword.

Kalak ignores the spray of glass, letting it fuel the anger that drives him to fight. He rushes through the scrum in the aisle before any of the cultists can act; he brandishes his massive earthbreaker at the cultist nearest the door! You are correct; they're flat-footed, so no AoOs at present.

Leowarin catches a spray of glass himself, but brushes it aside as he moves towards the door, tossing a bomb at the closest cultist. His aim is off, though, and the bomb shatters in the aisle beside the cultist instead, only splashing a bit of the fiery liquid on the cultist's leg. Note: the cultist you targeted is 15' away; bombs have a range of 10'. Leo would take a -2 range penalty on that throw. He missed even without that penalty, though; just wanted to point it out.
Miss direction: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Seltyiel is able to shield his head from the falling glass, but still can't prevent all the damage. He darts forward and brings his bastard sword down on the same cultist, badly damaging the man.

Up Close & Deadly (Damage): 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (5) = 7

Oh, if it was for an attack... x4

*wild obscene language*

DC10 Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Glass damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Stavarg holds up his forearms, trying to shield his face from the raining glass as he rushes forward towards the door. He stops to fire a warning shot along the way, hoping it shows the assailants that he and his friends are not easy targets.

[move] 20'
[standard] attack RED
electric blast touch attack RED, E damage: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Reflex DC 10, Tarka: 1d20 ⇒ 13 damage, P/S: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Tarka, barely noticing the shower of glass shards, steps forward and fires at one of the cultists in the pews, injuring the woman. Tarka, please start using your Tarka profile to post, and update that header! I've asked for this too many times now. PM me if you still need help; I will help you get this done, but I no longer have patience on this point!

Stavarg too avoids the worst of the glass shards. He fires a warning shot that serves as much more than a warning, dropping the cultist in the aisle!

The cultist Tarka shot casts a spell and mist begins seeping up around her from the floor of the cathedral, almost immediately obscuring all vision in the area.

The cultist in the south pews begins reading a scroll as she backs away slightly.

The cultist facing Kalak steps back into the pews, and casts a spell of his own, causing a patch of grease to appear beneath the barbarian's feet! (Kalak, please make a DC 14 Reflex save to avoid falling prone)

Kalak continues to rage, and shaking off the spell's effects from the caster near him.

Reflex, superstitious: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8

the raging shoanti falls prone, immediately bouncing to his feet and looping toward the cultist who dared cast the spell on him. So enraged, is he that climbs onto the pew and stands above her, threatening with his earthbreaker.

Stand, move

Spellcraft (orange): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Spellcraft (green): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

"As you can probably tell, the one to the right cast "Obscuring Mist" so you won't be able to see very well if you enter it," Leo says but the mist blocks his view of what the cultist near Kalak cast.

Seeing the cultist on the right side reading from a scroll, he throws a bomb at him, hoping to disrupt the spell.

Ranged attack (yellow): 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 - 1 = 7
Damage (P): 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Miss direction: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Unfortunately, he misses to the left and it strikes the pew. Not wanting to make an easy target, he changes his escape plan and moves to the south along the pew and takes cover behind the column.

Unable to see the other Cultist, Tarka reloads her pistol, and tries a different tactic, and instead aims at another Cultist (The Red one).

Shoot the Red Cultist (Attack): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Shoot the Red Cultist (Damage): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

BTW, are the pews difficult terrain?

Stavarg looks over at Tarka and then the cultist in front of them.

I guess we won't be running out of here so easily. Why are people so willing to die...? he grouses before throwing both his fists forward to aim a bolt of electricity.

Stavarg's shot crosses Tarka's, speeding towards the cultist standing apart ORANGE.

[move] gather power
[standard] attack (electric blast + extended range 120')
electric blast touch attack ORANGE, E damage: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 121d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Well, darn.

1h bastard sword attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Still able to see his enemy, Seltyel slashes at thim again with his sword.

I am not sure if this will be enough to get rid of this cultist. If it is, then I will move 20 feet south of his position, between the pews.

BTW, are the pews difficult terrain?

Yes; the right of the map explains how the map features affect movement. The pews are difficult terrain (crossing them, not moving parallel) and the pillars are impassible.

Putting Khon'Ur on delay

Kalak slips on the grease, but quickly picks himself up and moves to challenge the cultist who made the mess.

Leowarin throws another bomb, splashing some flaming goo across the pew onto the cultist, but not quite getting the full effect of the mixture.

Tarka puts a bullet in the belly of the downed cultist, making sure that he stays down.

Stavarg decides to try to help finish what Leowarin started, but his blast goes wide. (The orange cultist has total cover due to the obscuring mist; redirected to yellow, but it's a miss regardless.)

Seltyiel puts a sword in the belly of the cultist at his feet; trying to ensure that he won't stand again.

The red-robed cultist continues to bleed out on the floor.

The cultist in the fog can't be seen; the Pathfinders have no idea what they might be doing.

The yellow-haired cultist curses as the spell on her scroll fizzles; Leo's bomb still had its intended effect it seems. They quickly cast another spell, bringing up another patch of fog in the room.

The green-eyed cultist by Kalak scrambles away from the barbarian, almost crawling across pews to get away. Withdraw action to avoid the AoO

Foes in the mist have total concealment from more than 5' away; they can't be targeted or located by sight, so I've hidden them on the map. I've put a colored star at their last known location, but they may have moved from that spot. If you want to venture into the mist to try to find them, go ahead and draw a search path up to the limit of your (double) movement; I find the "Polyline" tool works best for this, as it can draw turns (click the small arrow by the "Line" tool to find the "Polyline" tool). Include whatever Standard action you'd like to take if you find them before you start a second movement action. The mist doesn't slow your speed; crossing pews is difficult terrain though.

Round 3 (bold may act!)
Khon'Ur (-0/15 hp; delay)
Seltyiel (-2/20 hp)
Stavarg (-4/13 hp)
Kalak (-6/26 hp, -0/4 temp hp; Reflex save pending)

Oh! I'm sorry, I looked at the initiative order incorrectly - it seemed to me that my turn had not yet come (I did not see that I was already on top of the queue). If you don't mind, I'll make an action for round 1 too.

Arrghh! To hell with these cretins! Grab the thief! Khon'Ur rushes into the fog.

I moved myself on the map for rounds 1 and 2 - twice double move, taking into account the difficult terrain. If I suddenly come across a cultist on the way, then I will change the action and beat him.

PS Sorry, I'm a little confused though. Should I describe the actions already for round 3 too?

The dwarf is right! Let's go before the thief gets away! and the Shoanti moves after the thief into the streets continuing the way he thinks the man went....

Got to the edge of the map on one move, have a second move action (40') to pursue... Rage 9/12 rounds

PS Sorry, I'm a little confused though. Should I describe the actions already for round 3 too?

Khon'Ur was initially last to act in round 1, so if I back out the delay, he's also last to act in round 2 which is equivalent to first in round 3. So two rounds of actions catches him up perfectly to where we are right now. You're exactly where you need to be. I'm going to leave the initiative block the way it is, as I can see how that round break introduced the confusion.

Khon'Ur rushes forward through the mist, ready to strike a cultist if he encounters one, but focuses on getting to the front door instead.

Kalak dashes out the door into the streets! (We can't begin the next scene until all PCs are out the door, but Kalak is now outside and ready to pursue the assassin!)

Round 3 (bold may act!)
Khon'Ur (-0/15 hp; delay)
Seltyiel (-2/20 hp)

Free of the cultist, Seltyel dashes towards the exist following what he thinks the safest path, avoiding the fog as much as possible.

I am not sure if I have succeeded much in drawing the lines, but I continue vertically until the bottom. Then horizontally towards the corner. It will be a double move, unless I find surprises on my path...

Not liking his odds of shooting through the mist any longer, Stavarg starts to skulk around the edge of the room.

[double move] 40'

Seltyiel and Stavarg both begin moving towards the exit.

Round 3 (bold may act!)
Khon'Ur (-0/15 hp; delay)
Seltyiel (-2/20 hp)

- green

I was having issues trying to manipulate the map on my phone so my apologies if I messed something up. My token had been moved but it was too far as I only have 20' move, so I adjusted it.

With more mist blocking his view, Leo hopes that the nearest cultist is going to stay in the pew and he runs down the side aisle towards the back of the cathedral.

Botting Tarka and Leowarin

Tarka and Leo both move towards the exit as directly as they can.
Acrobatics DC 10, Tarka: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (18) + 0 = 18

The dying cultist continues to die.

The final words of a spell ring out from within the mist, and a pair of gruesome-looking creatures appear, blocking the door. Roiling waves of flesh, amidst the fatty surges wriggle half-formed limbs and dripping tumorous faces. (Knowledge (planes) to identify) The cultist with the orange sash emerges near Stavarg. Surprised, they quickly cast a spell, dropping a load of grease on the floor at Stavarg's feet. Stavarg, please make a DC 14 Reflex save or fall prone.

The sounds of more arcane words start coming from the pews to the south.

Another spell finishes from within the mist to the north, and another roiling mass of flesh appears in front of the exit. The green-eyed cultist emerges from the mist near the north wall.

Round 4 (bold may act!)
Khon'Ur (-0/15 hp)

??? (1st round)
- cyan dashed
- blue dashed
- purple dashed

Tarka gets nervous, and tries to shoot the mysterious creatures, starting with the one on the one on the left.

Shoot the Cyan creature (Attack): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Shoot the Cyan creature (Damage): 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

She then tries to make a dash for it.

Tarka, I've moved you back to your starting position. If you move this round (which you certainly can still do), you need to roll Acrobatics DC 10 to move across the grease; if you fail, you will fall prone and lose the rest of your movement. If you succeed, that 1st square of grease is at half-speed (i.e. it costs 10' of movement instead of 5'). The creatures are blocking the door (double-doors behind cyan and blue); attempting to move through cyan's square would require an additional Acrobatics check vs. the creature's CMD+5, if that's still what you want to do. Failing that 2nd Acrobatics check will stop your movement in front of the creature, provoking an Attack of Opportunity.

What in the name of Abadar are these things?!

Being the monsters in the way of Seltyel towards the street, the half-elf is decided to check if his sword is effective against them. He approaches the closest one and attacks with his weapon.

1h bastard sword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

His view blocked by the columns, Leo isn't sure what Seltyiel is talking about until he comes around the last column. "I have no idea but they don't look too friendly," he says as he grabs another vial from his bandolier. Hoping to minimize the chance of hitting Seltyiel, Leo throw the vial at the middle creature.

Ranged touch attack (blue)(bomb): 1d20 + 4 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 - 4 - 1 = 10
Damage (P): 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 Splash damage = 5. DC15 Reflex save for half.

Miss direction: 1d8 ⇒ 6 Splash Weapon Mastery allows +/-1 to miss die. Will adjust to 5 and land on cyan.

DC14 Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Stavarg stays on his feet and sets them for stability before sending a blast directly into the face of the cultist that appeared before him.

[standard] attack (electric blast)
electric blast touch attack, E damage: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 141d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 lets go touch AC? :D

He carefully steps back out of the grease...

[5' step] W

Get the hell off! Khon'Ur appears out of the fog and wastes no time attacking the nearest freak with a pickaxe.

Heavy Pick: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 101d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 vs purple

I can try to identify who it is, if they are demons, undead, or they are somehow related to the history of the dwarves .)

Tarka fires at one of the fiends at the door, but their mishappen, fleshy appearance disturbs her to her core, and her aim is far off.
Acrobatics DC 10: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (9) + 0 = 9
She attempts to move forward across the grease, but even moving cautiously she slips, falling prone.

Seltyiel closes on the fiends at the door, and--concerned that his sword may not be effective--he gives a test swing at the closest. Though his aim is true, the sword seems to pass through the creature's flesh harmlessly; no wound remains once he withdraws the blade! DR prevented all of the damage from this strike

Leowarin skids around the corner and pulls out a bomb. His aim is a little off and the bomb flies farther than he intended, but it still explodes on top of one of the fiends, splashing its neighbor as it does so. Neither fiend seems affected by the liquid fire of the bomb in the least, though. They have either resistance or immunity to fire that prevented all of the damage from the bombs

Stavarg sends a blast of electricity into the face of the cultist that surprised him; the cultist falls with electrical burns spider-webbed across their face!

Khon'Ur closes with the trio at the door, slamming his pick down hard, but he misses! He leaves a sizeable chip in the marble floor of the cathedral. Just a miss, DR didn't come into play

I can try to identify who it is, if they are demons, undead, or they are somehow related to the history of the dwarves

None of those apply, but in the future I would recommend making the roll with your post anyway; that way the GM could reply with the info you learned immediately, instead of waiting for another posting cycle to get around to it.

The yellow-haired cultist emerges from the mist and conjures more grease onto the battlefield, putting it right below Khon'Ur's feet. Khon'Ur, please make a DC 14 Reflex save or fall prone!

The green-eyed cultist circles the pillars at the front and sends a small glob of acid towards Khon'Ur! The acid is aimed well, leaving a small burn on the dwarf's face!

Two of the fiends at the door strike at their nearby foes, one attacking Khon'Ur and the other Seltyiel. Each tries to rend with mismatched claws that emerge from unnatural places on the creature's bodies, but neither can connect with their foe. The third fiend stays in place in front of the door.

Hurry up, he's getting away!

Power attack, Rage: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Damage, Blue: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 5) + 8 = 17

Rage 10/12

Leo looks concerned when the creatures aren't affected by his bomb. Looking for an alternate way to help get the group out of the building, he pulls out his bow and tries to arc an arrow over the monsters to hit the cultist on the other side. Unfortunately, he miscalculates the angle and the arrow sails over the cultist's head.

Ranged attack (green): 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 - 4 = 11
Damage (P): 1d6 ⇒ 3

Along with the streams of obscene language, dwarf gets up and hits with a pickaxe.

Heavy Pick: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 51d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Lacking a better weapon, Seltyel tries again with his sword.

1h bastard sword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Happy that he's knocked down his immediate threat, Stavarg takes aim to the middle of the chamber.

Kalak comes at the fiends from behind, smashing one with his massive earthbreaker. Though it clearly doesn't do as much damage as expected, the fiend is unable to fully reform its flesh around the gaping wound.

Leowarin fires an arrow across the heads of the combatants, hoping to take out the cultist at the far side. But clearing the scrum at the door is too much for him; the arrow flies high and misses.

Khon'Ur stands up in the grease, exposing himself to opportunistic attack from the fiends, but both are too slow, though one narrowly misses the dwarf with a claw. Khon'Ur slams his pick down again, but only succeeds in taking another chip out of the marble floor.

Seltyiel swings his bastard sword again, but can't connect at all this time.

Stavarg uses his distance to his advantage, firing another electrical burst across the room. He pegs the yellow-haired cultist with a perfectly-aimed blast that sends them to the ground.

Tarka spends a move action to attempt getting back up, then another to attempt darting out of the building.

Escape (Acrobatics): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Tarka stands up and tries to barrel her way through the forces guarding the door. The fiend she tries to slip past stops her abruptly with a well-times slash of its claw. Tarka looks dangerously beaten-up and in need of healing!

The green-eyed cultist sends more acid through the air at Khon'Ur; again it's well-aimed and the dwarf sports another burn to show off later.

The fiends at the door each attack the target in front of them. Tarka and Khon'Ur both get hit; Tarka falls to her injuries, but Khon'Ur has more in the tank yet and remains standing. Tarka, please make a Constitution check DC 10 to stabilize; you take a -3 penalty on the roll due to the damage you've taken.

Seltyel decides that now or never. He tries to hit the creature for the third time.

1h bastard sword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Ok. Let us see if the DR is 5 or 10...

Starvarg continues to stay where he is and fire from a distance. He turns to the cultist amidst the crowd of his companions.

[move] gather power
[standard] attack (electric blast + extended range 120') GREEN
electric blast touch attack GREEN, E damage: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 191d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Without a lot of options, Leo tries to adjust his aim and fires at the cultist again.

Ranged attack (green): 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 - 4 = 11
Damage (P): 1d6 ⇒ 4

Kalak again swings his hammer at the same target, again trying to dislodge the creatures from the doorway of the temple, he screams wordlessly as Tarka falls to the ground, letting his companions injury continue to fuel his rage.

attack, rage, PA: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Damage, rage, PA: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 6) + 9 = 18

Rage 11/12. If the blue dashed one dropped from another attack, just shift Kalak's damage elsewhere.
