GM Frost's B10 Hillcross Roundup (Inactive)

Game Master Frozen Frost

Jack’s head blazes from within.

”SCOUNDREL!”, he cries. ”RELEASE THE DINOS, BEFORE I SEAR THE FLESH FROM YOUR BONES!”

He opens his arms wide. A flock of blackened wicker crows with flaming eyes fly out of his sleeves. They circle around him, cawing and wheeling.

”YOUR DOOM HAS COME TODAY!” Fire shoots out of his mouth toward the goblin.

Channel Elements, Elemental Blast [1-action], Elemental Blast [2-action]

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1F

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10F

Babak assigns Glorzia as her prey. All her arrows miss the enemy though. Grallen also misses hitting and reloads. Jack cries out with fire but they are amiss too.

"What are you all even hitting?" Glorzia laughs loudly and mockingly at them while Compo Black runs to them to attack.

Mahatma nearly throws up as the poison courses through his veins with alacrity as he tries to shout "We've got to rescue Babs!"

Mahatma forms a boomerang out of air and fires it to the northwest.

slashing damage: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2

Normally I've got Weapon Infusion to get strength damage on my ranged blast, but I'm outside of 20, so I only get half(propulsive) +3 becomes +1 which I lose from the enfeeble. Stupid poison grumble grumble.

Mahatma manages to shrug off the poison the second time. He calls out an air boomerang from another Plane and slashes Compo and Glorzia with it.
Compo: DC 17 basic Reflex save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 Failure, 2 S damage
Glorzia: DC 17 basic Reflex save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 Failure, 2 S damage

I think I failed one of the initial poison saves, and then succeeded at the end of my turn, reducing it from stage 1 to 0? Here's the save in case I'm missing something.

fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

I think I failed one of the initial poison saves, and then succeeded at the end of my turn, reducing it from stage 1 to 0? Here's the save in case I'm missing something.

I don't think you make a save at the end of your turn. The duration of the stage is 1 round and it started on the dino's turn, so you would roll the save at the start of their next turn.

That being said, it looks like Compo went twice. Compy, the blue one, should have gone after Alleron. So I don't think you should have been attacked at all.

I have a save at the end of my turn and succeeded.

Don't kill Rappy and Tappy the little raptors, lol

That being said, it looks like Compo went twice. Compy, the blue one, should have gone after Alleron. So I don't think you should have been attacked at all.

Thank you for catching this.

My bad, Mahatma should not have taken any damage from the first round because it should be Blue Compy's turn not Black Compo's. Forget about the saves and assume that Compy delays but gets the actions wasted for not acting for the round. I am taking back the 1 P, 2 P, and 2 poison damage from Mahatma.

Grallen shoots her in the shoulder, dealing some damage. 2 P damage

Babak hits Glorzia in the chest, making the enemy howl in pain 13 P damage He then douses himself for some temporary health.

Blackfeather effectively frightens Glorzia (becomes Frightened 1) before bludgeoning the thief. 8 B damage

Compo diverts its attention to Jack and bites the gourd leshy!

slashing damage: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3
Basic Ref DC 17 for Glorzia & Compy

2 action melee blast adds str & con to damage. Impulse Junction gives Mahatma a free step or half stride when using a 2+ action impulse. 1 action to recall the Aerial Boomerang.

”RUN, FOUNDLING!”, Jack shouts at the wee dino attacking him. ”YOUR CUTENESS WILL NOT SAVE YOU FOR LONG!”

Two more crows break from the flock, and hurtle toward Glorzia.

Elemental Blast: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The dwarf will drop his crossbow and move up twice trying to get into a flank and draw his axe.

I thought I had dropped his crossbow and drew his ax last turn but didn't, lol

Blackfeather Jack easily shrugs off the venom. Babak first shot goes above his target's but the second one hits true that brings down the dino thief to the ground. The tiny dinos Compy and Compo quickly retreats into the nearby crevice to hide, clearly frightened by the encounter.

ENCOUNTER OVER! WELL DONE!

Anyone can coax the frightened creatures Compy and Compo to leave the crevice and follow you with a successful DC 15 Nature check. On the other hand, you can also calm Babs with a DC 15 Nature check.

The fire in Jack’s head dies down, as the flock of crows crumble to ash.

”There there, little Babs”, he says soothingly. ”No more scary goblins. Time for everyone to go home”

Nature: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

nature: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Mahatma notes to Babs "I know I look like a goblin, but I'm not scarry. See, I've got a carrot."

Alleron, heals Mahatma and then tends to some of the frightened dinos.

Heal: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Nature: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Babak checks if there's any other dinosaurs or things to find in this area.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Mahatma manages to sooth Babs and lessen her fright to them. Soon Babs is following Mahatma wherever he goes. Alleron, after healing Mahatma, calls to the other frightened dinos, assuring them that they mean no harm, actually. Moments later, they come out of hiding and follows the cleric. Scanning the area, Babak finds that there are no more dinos needed to be rescued and perhaps it is about time to get back to Xila.

After defeating Glorzia, they return Babs to Xila, who rewards them with 4 gp each. Due to their quick thinking and bravery, she can reunite the wayward clutch with their family in the rest of the valley. She invites them to tag along when she returns the clutch. She assures them that while finding Compo and Compy’s pack may take longer, she’s certain she’ll be able to. When they depart, Xila bids them farewell and wishes them luck on their future adventures.

-END OF BOUNTY!-

Jack bows to Xila. ”A pleasure, to be sure”

He gives the dinos one last pet.

The dwarf is happy that the dinosaurs were not really hurt.
