GM Peachbottom's War for the Crown

Game Master Peachbottom

Xallis backtracks to investigate the sounds of combat. "I'm glad Julania isn't seeing this...." the summoner mumbles to himself.
Summon Monster + Superior Summons: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

A simple gesture has his hound archon vanishing into nothingness, and soon after a small gang of small, lumpy fiends appear in the hallway. Malice shines in their beady, sunken eyes.

Xallis gestures towards where his other allies went. "Sir Tychus! Don't bother with these rabble, aid our friends! I'll keep them at bay and catch up with you."

Not sure how to number them in google docs but we can just go 1, 2, 3, from the south to the north.

Three wretched demons slip into the mortal plane on Xallis' order. They turn towards their new foes and salivate at the opportunity for carnage.

Dretch 1's Claw vs Grassling 2: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 = 25 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Dretch 1's Claw vs Grassling 2: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Dretch 1's Bite vs Grassling 2: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Dretch 2's Claw vs Grassling 2: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 2 = 20 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Dretch 2's Claw vs Grassling 2: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 = 15 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Dretch 2's Bite vs Grassling 2: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 = 12 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Dretch 1's crit confirm vs Grassling 2: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 = 10 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

The third dretch calls upon its foul magics, dropping a spell in the crowded hallway.

Casting stinking cloud (DC 13) among the enemies. This includes Dretch 1 among the victims, which Dretch 3 finds exceptionally funny.

Dretch 1's fort save vs stinking cloud: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Nauseated rounds: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"Why is Erastil offering his blessings to these traitors?!" Julania shouts in frustration as she brings her mace down on the foes in front of her.

mwk silver warhammer vs Officer #6 (power attack, haste, divine favor, bless, magic weapon: 1d20 + 7 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 5 = 16 damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

mwk silver warhammer vs Officer #6 (power attack, haste, divine favor, bless, magic weapon: 1d20 + 7 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 5 = 31 damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

If the target is already dead, she can shift htem to Officer 10

Lay On Hands (self): 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 = 8

Round8

Jack hacks down the singed officer in a single swipe then cuts into the next officer in line.

Jack hits Traitorous Officer #6 for 19 damage which kills him. He hits Traitorous Officer #5 for 18 damage. The critical isn’t confirmed.

Tychus’ aim is true and he fills the grassling with a volley of four bolts. After the fourth bolt, the grassling shudders and wordlessly collapses.

Tychus hits grassling #2 four times for a total of 75 damage and kills it. All four shots were needed to kill that target.

Not sure how to number them in google docs but we can just go 1, 2, 3, from the south to the north.

I’ll color them. Red #1, Yellow #2, Blue #3.

Three foul-smelling dretches appear. The first dretch starts tearing into the remaining grassling with its claws. The creature let’s out a high-pitched shriek of horror. Then a second dretch moves up to do the same. After the next claw, the creature’s adrenaline kicks in and it pulls away.

Dretch 1 (Red) hits Grassling #1 three times for a total of 17 damage.

Since Tychus killed Grassling #2, Dretch 2 (Yellow) can appear in the spot that enemy was and 5-ft. step to reach Grassling #1. It hits Grassling #1 once for 7 damage.

Stinking Cloud Saves DC 13
Grassling #1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Traitorous Officer #1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Jondus: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

The officer in the cloud turns green and starts retching at the unholy stink. Jondus merely wrinkles his pointy nose in disgust. A few horses get caught up in the effect and whinny loudly in fear. They pull at their tethers but are bound in place. (They’ll be fine once the effect clears.)

Grassling #1 and Jondus pass the save and are not nauseated (this round). Traitorous Officer #1 fails and is nauseated. (The 1d4+1 duration doesn’t start until after a creature leaves the cloud. Also, dretches are immune to stinking cloud since stinking cloud is a poison effect and dretches are immune to poison. The concealment aspect still applies to everyone.

Julania swings her hammer and the nearest soldier. The first strike bangs against his shield. The second strike bangs against his head.

Since Officer #6 died, Julania can attack Taldan Traitor #10 who is also adjacent. She hits him once for 8 damage.

Finally, Henrika bluffs the enemy, getting him to look up and then cuts under his defenses.

Henrika successfully bluffs Taldan Traitor #10 and hits him twice for a total for a total of 69 damage and kills him. (Her first hit didn’t kill the enemy, so both were needed).

"It surprises me that a follower of Erastil would countenance working with traitors and criminals to sabotage the local community. Perhaps your operation has failed for other reasons."

Jaliessa replies, ”You know nothing of my motives, nor am I inclined to enlighten you.”

Grassling – Acrobatics DC 19: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28

Grassling – Claw vs. Tychus’ AC 26: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The grassling caught between a dretch and a hard place, dashes out of the cloud and through the dretches to charge at Tychus. Tychus is caught off guard by the sudden rush but his armor saves him.

Grassling successfully uses acrobatics to move through the dretches’ space and makes one attack against Tychus that misses.

Taldan Traitor #9 – Scimitar vs. Jack’s AC 22: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

The last traitor makes a brave and desperate strike against the towering half-orc. He wounds Jack but then takes a step back in fear of retaliation.

Taldan Traitor #9 hits Jack for 6 damage then takes a 5-ft. step back.

Nauseated Duration: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Completely disabled by stomach distress, the officer turns to his left and hurries down the side hallway to escape the cloud. He loses his lunch on the floor and doesn’t look like he’ll be recovering anytime soon.

Traitorous Officer #1 moves out of the stinking cloud and will remain nauseated for 5 more rounds.

Traitorous Officer #5 – Scimitar, haste vs. Trevor’s AC 21: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 11 + 1 = 31
Crit Confirmation: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 1 = 29
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 5) + 8 = 16

Traitorous Officer #5 – Scimitar, haste vs. Malphene’s AC 17: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 1 = 25
Crit Confirmation: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 1 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Traitorous Officer #5 – Scimitar, haste vs. Jack’s AC 22: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 1 = 30
Crit Confirmation: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 1 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

The remaining traitorous officer in the mess hall swings a deadly cleave in a line in front of him, badly injuring both Trevor and Malphene, and taking down Jack.

(I described as a cleave, but its just his two base attacks plus haste attack.) Traitorous Officer #5 hits Trevor with a critical hit for 16 damage. He hits Malphene for 10 damage. And he hits Jack for 8 damage. Jack falls to -2 and is dying.

Trevor and Malphene go.

Round 8

Badly injured by the ram, Trevor clutches his holy symbol and sends forth a selective channel energy, affecting himself, Malphene, and Jalania.
Channel Energy: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 2, 6) = 14

Round 8

Malphene smiles through the blood as her future husband used Cayden's blessing to heal her. The lore warden focuses her ire on Traitor #5.

MW Longsword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
Dmg.: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Round8

Malphene fights back but the enemy parries.

Malphene’s attack against Traitorous Officer #5 is a miss.

Trevor heals Henrika, Julania, Trevor, Malphene, Jack, and Icabhod 14 hp each. (up to max)

Round 9

Jondus – Earth Breaker, Cleave, Furious Focus, Power Attack vs. Dretch (Red): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22
Concealment 20%: 1d100 ⇒ 50
Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (3, 1) + 12 = 16

Jondus – Earth Breaker, Cleave, Furious Focus, Power Attack vs. Dretch (Yellow): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Concealment 20%: 1d100 ⇒ 8
Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 3) + 12 = 19

Jondus Fort DC 13: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Jondus wades through the cloud, only a shadowy humanoid shape marks his presence. Out from the fog, his earth breaker comes swinging at the dretch in front of him, smashing it in the jaw and then shattering the doorframe just inches from the adjacent dretch.

”Filthy! Vile! Disguising creatures!” he curses.

Jondus hits Dretch (Red) for 11 damage after DR and misses Dretch (Yellow) due to concealment. He succeeds on the Fortitude save against the stinking cloud and is unaffected this round.

Anua – Gore vs. Trevor’s AC 21: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
Damage: 2d6 + 18 ⇒ (2, 3) + 18 = 23

Anua rams at Trevor again. This time, Trevor is expecting the attack and dodges to the side. Jaliessa calls Anua back to her.

Anua attacks Trevor and misses, then moves west 25 ft. This will provoke from Trevor.

Trevor – AoO, bless, haste vs. Anua: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Trevor’s attack grazing the ram’s barding as it repositions.

Trevor’s AoO on Anua is a miss.

”I’ll stop you even if I have to bring the whole building down on top of your heads!”

Then Jaliessa steps back near her companion and conjures another spell. This time conjuring a rain of dirt, gravel, and pebbles to pelt nearly everyone in the room, shattering furniture, and leaving the area covered in difficult terrain.

Bludgeoning Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

The spell is a 40-ft. radius centered near Jack. Everyone in the area takes 6 damage. (That’s Henrika, Julania, Trevor, Malphene, Jack, Icabhod, Air Elemental, Traitorous Officer #5, and Taldan Traitor #9). There is no saving throw. The area (marked by rocks) is difficult terrain for 11 rounds.

Small Air Elemental – Slam vs. Henrika’s AC 23: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Displacement 50%: 1d100 ⇒ 37
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The hovering elemental comes dangerously close to hitting Henrika but her displaced image throws off the enemy's aim.

Small Air Elemental misses Henrika due to concealement.

Jaliessa: Stone Call ▲(11 rd)

Jack, Icabhod, Tychus, Xallis, Julania, and Henrika go next.

You know what, I was looking at the map again, and the stone call would probably squeeze through the open door to get Xallis and the dretch (blue) too. Xallis take 6 bludgeoning damage and the Dretch takes 1 bludgeoning damage. Sorry.

Jack blinks, trying to get used to passing out and then waking again on the floor. He sputters and coughs at the dust kicked up by the falling rocks, and from his position on the ground he lunges toward the traitor still standing on the nearby table. He tries to grab the enemy's pants leg, pulling it towards him in hopes of entangling them in their own clothing.

Maneuver (dirty trick, entangle) vs Traitor #5, bless, bull's strength, dirty trick bonuses, haste, prone: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 1 - 4 = 17

Henrika shrugs in response to Jaliessa's rebuke. "Then explain yourself to your god when you see Him," she scoffs.

When the conjured stones fall and the lieutenant and her companion retreat, Henrika glances past Julania to confirm that Jack isn't dead, and is relieved when she sees him grasping ineffectively toward the traitor on the table. She fixes the elemental with her hypnotic stare, and swings twice with her enchanted sword, instructing it to protect Jack as well as herself.

Attack elemental (Koriana's blade), bless, bull's strength, defending, haste, Power Attack: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 1 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 = 26
Damage (magic, slashing), bull's strength, defending, Power Attack: 1d8 + 7 + 3 - 1 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 3 - 1 + 6 = 23
Painful stare: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3) + 3 = 9

Bonus (haste) attack elemental (Koriana's blade), bless, bull's strength, defending, haste, Power Attack: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 1 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 = 26
Damage (magic, slashing), bull's strength, defending, Power Attack: 1d8 + 7 + 3 - 1 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 3 - 1 + 6 = 20

If that first swing kills the elemental, she'll use her move action to move 30' (60' move speed through difficult terrain) towards Jaliessa.

Burned and battered, Icabhod struggles to the west to get into the doorway

As he's about to turn around and join the others, a small figure slams into his side, almost knocking the wind out of him. He elbows the Grassling to give himself some room. He proceeds past Xallis to join the rest of the fray.

"I hope you know what you are getting yourself into, Sir Xallis..."

Full Withdraw.

"Well, it was my call to assault the base like I did, so... probably?" Xallis ponders as he repositions on the stairway while drawing another wand.
Use Magic Device: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

His wand sparks to life as he sends a bolt of electric energy through the4 hallway, barely tickling the demons but hopefully zapping his foes!
Lightning Bolt (DC 14): 5d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 1, 1, 6) = 14

The dretches continue their mischief and violence. First, the damaged demon seeks to return the favor!
Red's claw vs Jondus: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 20% concealment (low bad): 1d100 ⇒ 37
Red's claw vs Jondus: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 20% concealment (low bad): 1d100 ⇒ 37
Red's bite vs Jondus: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 20% concealment (low bad): 1d100 ⇒ 32

Then, the demon nearest Xallis stumbles over the rocks and seeks to get more greens in his diet.
Blue's bite vs Grassling #1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 20% concealment (low bad): 1d100 ⇒ 39

Lastly, the middle dretch takes a careful step back and gives a leering grin towards the halflings. But it is bound by its master, and instead turns to further stink up the place.

Yellow's casting stinking cloud around Red's location, on a corner north and far from him.

"Not yet..." Julania says as she draws upon her inner light to restore her body.
Law on Hands (self): 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 5) + 4 = 11

Feeling slightly better, she then drops her weapon to use a free hand to heal Jack. Afterwards, she disconnects her shield and also allows it to fall to the floor.
Law on Hands: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

Round 9

Jack grabs at the officer’s legs but the officer stomps on his hands to keep him away.

Jack’s dirty trick against Traitorous Officer #5 fails.

Lightning Bolt Reflex Saves DC 14
Grassling: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Jondus: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

The grassling dodges to the side of Xallis’ lightning bolt but is still too weak to survive. Jondus, still in the cloud, doesn’t see the lightning bolt coming and takes the full brunt of the attack.

Grassling #1 passes the Reflex save against lightning bolt and takes 7 damage and dies. Jondus fails the Reflex save and takes 14 damage.

The first dretch (red) scratches against Jondus’ breastplate but then its bite finds flesh. Jondus yelps and shakes the demon free.

Dretch (red)’s two claw attacks against Jondus are misses. Its bite hits for 4 damage.

The next dretch (blue) moves up to bite Jondus but passes gas as it walks and finds it too funny to focus on his attack.

Since the grassling died, I moved dretch (blue) up to Jondus. His bite misses.

The last dretch (yellow) extends the area of the stinking cloud.

Jondus is already in a cloud so he doesn’t need to make another save.

With a flick of her wrist, Henrika banishes the air elemental back to the Plane of Air and moves towards the commander.

Henrika hits the small air elemental for 32 damage and kills it.

With Jack on the ground, the traitor regains his courage and steps forward to attack Icabhod as he enters through the doorway.

Taldan Traitor #9 – Scimitar vs. Icabhod’s AC 26: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Crit Confirmation: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Taldan Traitor #9 hits Icabhod for 9 damage.

The nauseated officer squats on the ground and vomits again, barely able to function.

Traitorous Officer #1 does nothing.

The last officer shakes off the rubble clinging to him and shouts back at Jaliessa, ”Hey, watch where you are casting those spells! You’re going to get me killed!” Then he swings his scimitar back across the line of enemies in front of him, this time in the opposite direction.

Traitorous Officer #5 – Scimitar, haste vs. Jack’s AC 18: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Traitorous Officer #5 – Scimitar, haste vs. Malphene’s AC 17: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 1 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Traitorous Officer #5 – Scimitar, haste vs. Trevor’s AC 21: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Malphene just barely avoids injury but Jack and Trevor take another cut.

Traitorous Officer #5 hits Jack for 6 damage and Trevor for 9 damage. He misses Malphene.

Trevor and Malphene’s turn.

Round 9

Trevor again pulls his power from his deity and channels energy into his friends and allies, selectively.

Channel Energy: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 2, 4) = 12

Round 9

The lore warden continues to attack Traitor #5.

MW Longsword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Dmg.: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Round 9

Malphene hits the officer that’s been swinging back and forth. After Malphene’s hit, he looks like he’s starting to struggle.

Malphene hits Traitorous Officer #5 for 9 damage.

Trevor heals Henrika, Julania, Trevor, Malphene, Jack, and Icabhod each for 12.

Round 10

Jondus – Earth Breaker, Cleave, Furious Focus, Power Attack vs. Dretch (Red)’s AC 14: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25
Concealment 20%: 1d100 ⇒ 73
Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (6, 1) + 12 = 19

Jondus – Earth Breaker, Cleave, Furious Focus, Power Attack vs. Dretch (Blue)’s AC 14: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Concealment 20%: 1d100 ⇒ 92
Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (5, 2) + 12 = 19

Jondus Fort DC 13: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Jondus powerfully swings his hammer at the dretch in front of him and reduces it to a sack of gore before it returns to its home place. The hammer continues its trajectory into the adjacent dretch and shatters a number of bones with an audible crack. Then he moves closer to Xallis. "You're going to have to do better than that to stop me."

Jondus uses cleave and power attack to attack Dretch (Red) and Dretch (Blue). He hits Dretch (Red) for 14 damage after DR and kills it. He hits Dretch (Blue) for 14 damage after DR. He is still within the stinking cloud but passes the save. His movement provokes an attack of opportunity by Dretch (Blue)

Dretch (Blue) AoO vs. Jondus: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Concealment 20%: 1d100 ⇒ 10
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

The stink cloud works against the dretch this time, providing cover to Jondus as he moves.

Dretch (Blue)’s attack of opportunity misses Jondus.

Jaliessa sees Henrika approach and says, ”So be it. You want to challenge me? I’ll face you head on!” Jaliessa and her ram approach Henrika to attack.

Jaliessa – Shatterspike, Power Attack vs. Henrika’s AC 23: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
Displacement 50%: 1d100 ⇒ 35
Damage: 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

Anua – Jump Acrobatics DC 12: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34

Anua – Gore, Power Attack, high ground vs. Henrika’s AC 23: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 14 + 1 = 31
Displacement 50%: 1d100 ⇒ 97
Damage: 2d6 + 18 ⇒ (6, 6) + 18 = 30

Jaliessa attacks with a serrated long sword that Henrika parries. Then her ram hops onto the table and continues to pummel anything in front of it.

Jaliessa attacks Henrika and misses. Anua hits Henrika for 30 damage.

Jack, Icabhod, Tychus, Xallis, Julania, and Henrika go.

With magically-enhanced speed, Jack stabs upward at the traitorous officer on the table, hoping to catch him unawares.

Attack Traitor #5 (falchion), bless, bull's strength, haste, Power Attack, prone: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 18
Damage (magic, slashing), bull's strength, Power Attack: 2d4 + 5 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (1, 4) + 5 + 3 + 6 = 19

Bonus attack (haste) Traitor #5 (falchion), bless, bull's strength, haste, Power Attack, prone: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 23
Damage (magic, slashing), bull's strength, Power Attack: 2d4 + 5 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 5 + 3 + 6 = 18

Henrika briefly considers conjuring a Mesmeric Mirror to possibly deflect the ram's bite, but decides that she must address the lieutenant's challenge first. She fixes the beast with her hypnotic stare and attempts to confuse it with a quick swipe at its legs, followed by a counterswing at its head.

Bluff to feint Anua, trait: 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 19 + 3 = 26
Attack Anua (Koriana's blade), bless, bull's strength, haste, Power Attack: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 27
Damage (magic, slashing), bull's strength, Power Attack: 1d8 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 6 = 10
Painful stare: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2) + 3 = 6

Henrika is ready to follow up her attack with another swing at the beast's legs, if her misdirection was effective.

If her feint is successful (maybe as an animal companion it has increased Intelligence?) she can make a surprise strike as a free action.

Bonus attack (Surprise Strike) Anua (Koriana's blade), bless, bull's strength, haste, Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 19
Damage (magic, slashing), bull's strength, Power Attack: 1d8 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 6 = 13

Icabhod curses as he is stabbed yet again and strikes out at the offender

Rapier+2,Studied Combat,Studied Strike,Bless: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 1 = 191d6 + 8 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 8 + (6, 6) = 21

Round 10

Tychus fumbles around for a fresh cartridge of bolts as he takes in the unfolding chaos before him.

Round 10

Jondus powerfully swings his hammer at the dretch in front of him and reduces it to a sack of gore before it returns to its home place. The hammer continues its trajectory into the adjacent dretch and shatters a number of bones with an audible crack. Then he moves closer to Xallis. "You're going to have to do better than that to stop me."

"You know what? You're absolutely right." says Xallis through a slight grin as a fresh hound archon appears in front of him.

Standard action summon monster, move action stow away the wand of magic missile.

Round 10

A fresh hound archon appears in front of Xallis and immedietly attacks the foe that threatens his conjurer.

mwk greatsword vs Jondus (power attack): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24 damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (1, 2) + 12 = 15
mwk greatsword vs Jondus (power attack, full attack): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (3, 2) + 12 = 17
bite vs Jondus (power attack, secondary): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Also, Aura of Menace is up. DC 16 Will save.

Round 10

Seeing the ground in an absolute state, the paladin casts a spell on herself. Suddenly, she seems to be stepping as light as a feather, bouncing on the tips of her toes like an agile, unarmored monk. She moves with surprising grace to support Henrika.

Casting feather step to ignore difficult terrain.

Round 10

The officer is focused on the standing opponents and isn’t looking at Jack on the ground. Jack catches him unaware but he is still heavily armored. The first strike merely dented his shin guard. But then striking the same point again, Jack takes the soldier’s leg out from under him and he goes down.

Jack’s first attack is a miss. Jack’s second attack hits Traitorous Officer #5 for 18 damage and kills him.

Icabhod stabs back at his opponent and runs his rapier through him. The traitor coughs up a wad of blood and wobble unsteadily.

Icabhod has heroism whish is +2 to hit which is better than the +1 from bless which matters in this case because a 19 is a miss but a 20 isn’t. Icabhod hits Taldan Traitor #9 for 21 damage.

Jondus – Aura of Menace Will DC 16: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

I don’t think the Hound Archon can see through the stinking cloud. Correct me if I’m wrong. Just rolling for the attack that is a potential hit.

Hound Archon – Attack 1 20% Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 94

Jondus has seen his sister summon creatures but not at the speed at which Xallis can. The hound archon catches him off-guard until he can raise a defense.

Hound Archon hits Jondus with his first attack for 15 damage. The next two attacks miss. Jondus passes the save against the Aura of Menace.

Anua is a stubborn beast, but still Henrika manages to trick it. And with the help of Julania’s flanking, she gets two solid hits off on the ram.

Anua is just an animal so the feint gets a -8, but an 18 still succeeds on the dot. Anua will lose its Dex until Henrika’s next turn. Henrika hits Anua twice for 29 damage. Anua does have some pretty high AC. Henrika did need Julania’s flanking for that second attack to hit.

The badly injured traitor looks wildly around the room for a place to flee but finds none. He makes a desperate strike against Icabhod but knows he cannot defeat all the opponents before him alone.

Taldan Traitor #9 – Scimitar vs. Icabhod’s AC 26: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Taldan Traitor #9 misses Icabhod.

The Traitorous Officer remains incapacitated and out of the fight.

Enemy turns are getting a lot shorter now.

Trevor and Malphen go.

Round 10

Trevor's player is at work and can't access Google Slides. If Traitor #5 is still up, Malphene will attack once more, and Trevor will do another selective channel energy.

OK

Malphene – Longsword, Bless, Haste vs. Taldan Traitor #9: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 1 + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Malphene Climb DC 5: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Malphene finishes off the last traitor then wades through the rubble towards the commander. She hoists herself up onto the table next to the ram.

Malphene hits Taldan Traitor #9 for 9 damage and kills him. Then moves forward, climbing onto the table.

Trevor – Channel Energy: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 1, 6) = 13

Trevor’s channel energy heals 13 hp to Henrika, Malphene, Julania, Trevor, Jack, Icabhod, and Tychus.

Round 11

Jondus – Earth Breaker, Vital Strike, Furious Focus, Power Attack vs. Hound Archon’s AC 19: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21
Concealment 20%: 1d100 ⇒ 30
Damage: 4d6 + 12 ⇒ (2, 1, 5, 2) + 12 = 22

Jondus swings his hammer and hits the hound archon hard but the archon is quite sturdy.

Jondus hits the hound archon for 12 damage after DR.

Jondus – Climb DC 5: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

”Curse you! I’ll need a new strategy.” says Jondus. He leaps over the railing and moves out of the choking cloud. Then he let’s out a shrill whistle and you hear a high-pitched cry in response and the sound of leathery wings beating.

Jondus climbs over the railing. It is only a 5-ft. drop off the side, so he doesn’t get hurt. He whistles as a free action. Desert drake is joining the initiative. This does provoke from the hound archon.

Desert Drake Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Hound Archon AoO, power attack vs. Jondus: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (6, 2) + 12 = 20

Hound Archon’s attack of opportunity misses.

Anua – Gore, Power Attack, High Ground vs. Henrika’s AC 23: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 14 + 1 = 22
Displacement 50%: 1d100 ⇒ 44
Damage: 2d6 + 18 ⇒ (6, 1) + 18 = 25

Anua – Greater Bull Rush vs. Malphene’s CMD 20: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Anua tries to head butt Henrika again. It fails to connect but Henrika can feel its stinking warm break down her neck. Then, not liking to share its perch, knocks Malphene off the table.

Anua attacks Henrika and misses. Then it bull rushes Malphene back 5 ft.

Jaliessa – Shatterspike vs. Henrika’s AC 23: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34
Crit Confirmation: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23
Displacement 50%: 1d100 ⇒ 1

Displacement 50%: 1d100 ⇒ 67
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Jaliessa attacks Henrika twice. Her first strike is thrown off by the displacement and the second is dodged. ”I thought you were a reckless fool, but I can see you have some skill. You are a worthy opponent.”

Jaliessa attacks Henrika twice and both attacks miss.

Since the last officer is basically unable to act for 3 more turns, everyone can go this time.

Jack rights himself and rushes over to assist Henrika and Julania. He nods thankfully to Trevor and ironically tugs his forelock at Henrika as he gets into position.

Move action to stand from prone, standard action to move 40' to the west.

Henrika looks sidelong at Jaliessa. "You have lost," she says simply. "It's all coming down now. Your animal friend is going to be cut apart in faithful service to you. This may be your last chance to save it. We are honorable warriors-- unlike whoever it is you are working with in Yanmass. Surrender and we will do our best to see that you receive a more lenient punishment."

I'm assuming she doesn't immediately throw down her sword and call off her animal companion. :)

Henrika sighs. She can see that her words do not have the time they would need to sink in and affect the outcome of the fight. Resigned, she makes another feint, taking a big swing seemingly at the ram's mistress to make it flinch. Then she attempts to run the beast through.

Bluff to feint Anua, trait: 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 19 + 3 = 27
Attack Anua (Koriana's blade), bless, bull's strength, defending, flanking, haste, Power Attack: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 - 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 2 + 1 - 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 29

Painful stare: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4) + 3 = 10

Henrika follows up with another brutal chop at the ram's head.

Bonus attack (Surprise Strike) vs Anua (Koriana's blade), bless, bull's strength, defending, flanking, haste, Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 - 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 1 + 2 - 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 24
Damage (magic, slashing), bull's strength, defending, Power Attack: 1d8 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 6 = 17

Round 11

I can hear Cayden now. Why didn't you take Travel for one of your Domains?!! Then you could Agile Maneuver right through the debris. Someone wanted to be a Loverboy!! Trevor lamented.

"Darling!!" The cleric calls out to Malphene, holding out his glowing hand. The lore warden touches Trevor's hand, receiving the Touch of Good (Sp) ability.

+3 sacred bonus on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws for 1 round.

Round 11

Reeling from the bull rush, Malphene takes Trevor's touch and attempts to regain her ground.
Climb + Touch of Good: 1d20 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 3 = 12

Once back on the table, Malphene counterattacks the ram.

MW Longsword + haste + bless + Touch of Good (Sp): 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 26
Dmg.: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

MW Longsword + haste + bless + Touch of Good (Sp): 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 17
Dmg.: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Seeing that the others have matter in hand, Icabhod starts moving east to back up Xallis

Round 11

Tychus will pause to see if Jaliessa submits to the party.

Round 11

"So I'm guessing I did better!?" Xallis shouts after the retreating soldier.

The summoner considers his options. He opts against testing his luck with the cloud and instead turns to join his allies. He leaves his trusty hound to keep up with the enemy.

"The Second in command escaped, and I think he's calling the drake." he says as he jaunts past Tychus. Along the way, he draws a scroll of summon eidolon.

Round 11

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Climb: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Climb: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

The celestial endures the sickening cloud and continues the chase, only slowing down for a moment as it has to carefully climb up and out of the window.

Julania doubts that the leader will surrender, but she wants to giv her one last opportunity to lay down her weapon. She gives Dame Trant a wink and a tap on the shoulder before moving into a flanking position.

Using my Bit of Luck spell-like ability on Malphene. For the next round, any time she rolls a d20 she can roll twice and pick the better one. Also risking the attack of opportunity from the animal along the way.

Round 11

Anua AoO, high ground vs. Julania’s AC 24: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 14 + 1 = 33
Damage: 2d6 + 18 ⇒ (6, 6) + 18 = 30

Anua hits Julania hard for daring to move past it, slamming her into the wall and nearly knocking her off her feet.

Anua’s attack of opportunity hits Julania for 30 damage.

Julania’s magic weapon spell wears off.

"You have lost," she says simply. "It's all coming down now. Your animal friend is going to be cut apart in faithful service to you. This may be your last chance to save it. We are honorable warriors-- unlike whoever it is you are working with in Yanmass. Surrender and we will do our best to see that you receive a more lenient punishment."

”That’s just not happening. This only ends one way: either with your death or mine.”

Henrika tricks Anua again and gets in two more hits. Anua bleats in pain and looks like its about to fall off the table but it stubbornly fights until its last breath.

Henrika successfully feints Anua and hits it twice for a total of 37 damage.

Seeing Jaliessa won’t surrender, Tychus takes his shot. Jaliessa uses Henrika as cover making her harder to hit and the bolt just misses.

Tychus’ attack on Jaliessa is a miss, due to soft cover.

The officer remains nauseated.

Malphene gets back up onto the table and runs her longsword through the ram. It lets out a final bleat and dies. ”Anua!” shouts Jaliessa. She stares daggers of hate at Malphene.

Malphene hits Anua for 8 damage and kills it. The bit of luck from Julania would apply to this turn. She succeeded on both the climb and the attack roll so I don’t see a need to roll a second roll for either. But the effect will last until her next turn in case she needs to make a saving through of something.

Round 12

With incredible speed, the drake flies out of its aviary and lands right in the middle of the stinking cloud with a loud crash, flanking the archon with Jondus. It rears up its head to take a bite out of the hound archon.

I realized that the hound archon has a magic circle against evil that I didn’t take into account. Jondus and the drake are evil so the hound archon gets +2 AC against them.

Desert Drake – Bite, flanking vs. Hound Archon’s AC 21: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 15 + 2 = 21
Concealment 20%: 1d100 ⇒ 23
Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 6 = 13 Electricity Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 5

Desert Drake – Stinking Cloud Fort save DC 13: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

The drake bites into the hound archon, its teeth crackle with electricity which has no effect on the summons.

Desert drake hits the hound archon for 6 damage after DR. The hound archon is immune to electricity. The desert drake passes the save for the stinking cloud.

Jondus – Earth Breaker, Vital Strike, Furious Focus, Power Attack, Flanking vs. Hound Archon’s AC 21: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 13 + 2 = 32
Damage: 4d6 + 12 ⇒ (5, 1, 4, 6) + 12 = 28

Jondus swings his hammer again, clobbering the hound archon, slowing wearing it down.

Jondus hits the hound archon for 18 damage after DR.

Acrobatics – Jump DC 12: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Jaliessa’s eyes flash and turn leonine then leaps onto the table towards Malphene.

Jaliessa – Shatterspike, Improved Sunder, Power Attack vs. Malphene’s CMD 20: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 18 = 32
Damage: 1d8 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23

Jaliessa – Shatterspike, Power Attack vs. Malphene’s AC 17: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

Jaliessa uses a swift action to change one of her animal aspects to tiger, increasing her Dexterity before jumping. Her movement will provoke from Julania and Henrika. She sunders Malphene’s weapon, destroying it. (A standard longsword has 10 hardness and 5 hp and Jaliessa did 23 damage, enough to destroy it.) Then she hits Malphene for 17 damage.

Henrika’s AoO, bless, bull's strength, defending, flanking, haste, power attack vs. Jaliessa: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 - 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 2 + 1 - 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 33
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 6 = 15

Julania’s AoO, bless, divine favor, haste, flanking: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12

Henrika hits Jaliessa for 15 damage. Julania misses. (I wasn’t sure if Julania was using her mace or scythe but it misses anyway.)

Everyone can go.

Jack swings his falchion twice at the lieutenant.

Attack Jaliessa (falchion), bless, bull's strength, haste, Power Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 12
Damage (magic, slashing), bull's strength, Power Attack: 2d4 + 5 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (3, 3) + 5 + 3 + 6 = 20

Bonus attack (haste) Jaliessa (falchion), bless, bull's strength, haste, Power Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 24
Damage (magic, slashing), bull's strength, Power Attack: 2d4 + 5 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 5 + 3 + 6 = 17

Henrika transfers her hypnotic stare to Jaliessa. "So be it then," she says, and swings her sword in a predictable arc-- missing her opponent, of course, but perhaps causing her to flinch and step into Henrika's cross-cut. She tells her enchanted sword to protect Malphene instead of Jack, as the noblewoman takes the onslaught.

Bluff to feint Jaliessa, trait: 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 19 + 3 = 41
Attack Jaliessa (Koriana's blade), bless, bull's strength, defending, haste, Power Attack: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 1 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 = 26
Damage (magic, slashing), bull's strength, defending, Power Attack: 1d8 + 7 + 3 - 1 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 3 - 1 + 6 = 21
Painful stare: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 6) + 3 = 10

Also moving with extraordinary speed, she follows up her successful feint with another surprise strike.

Bonus attack (Surprise Strike) Jaliessa (Koriana's blade), bless, bull's strength, defending, haste, Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 1 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 = 12
Damage (magic, slashing), bull's strength, defending, Power Attack: 1d8 + 7 + 3 - 1 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 3 - 1 + 6 = 18

I'm going to use one of Henrika's hero points to reroll her attack.

Bonus attack reroll: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 + 2 - 1 + 1 - 2 = 14

Boo! Booooooo! :)

Noticing that all of his allies are heading west, Icabhod heads back yet again.

Round 12

"Welp, we tried reasoning..."

Tychus, taking no pleasure in the action, aims his crossbow at the commander of the traitors, and hopes his aim will bring this conflict to an end.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21
Damage 1: 1d10 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

Attack 2: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28
Damage 2: 1d10 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16

Attack 3: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Damage 3: 1d10 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

Round 12

use magic device: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32

This time, Xallis' wand doesn't ignore his command. He takes aim and fires a barrage of missiles.

Magic Missile vs Jaliessa: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1, 2) + 3 = 9

Round 12

Standing resolute in the face of overwhelming odds, the archon firmly grasps his blade and makes a last stand!

mwk greatsword vs Jondus (power attack): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28 damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (5, 1) + 12 = 18
mwk greatsword vs Jondus (power attack, full attack): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (5, 3) + 12 = 20
bite vs Jondus (power attack, secondary): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Round 12

Lay on Hands (self: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 = 10

Julania hops onto the table and takes a wide swing with her scythe, hoping to finish off the huntress once and for all.

mwk cold iron scythe vs Jaliessa (power attack, flank, haste, bless, divine favor): 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 34 damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (2, 2) + 7 = 11

crit confirmation: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 34 bonus damage: 6d4 + 21 ⇒ (2, 1, 4, 3, 4, 1) + 21 = 36

If GM Peachbottom is up for it, Trevor's gonna get into some 5e shenanigans. ;)

Round 12

Angry at the vicious attack on his fiance, Trevor calls out to Malphene.
"Darling! CATCH!" The cleric tosses Godspike into the lore warden's hand. Move Action

"Jaliessa, is it? You look parched, my dear! Cheers!"
Trevor will then cast create water in Jaliessa's lungs. Combat Action

Round 12

Acrobatics (catch): 1d20 ⇒ 2

Sadly, the lore warden isn't fast enough to catch the magic rapier. But, even without a weapon, Dame Malphene Trant is dangerous. The fighter roars and lunges at Jaliessa.

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20 Malphene does have Improved Unarmed Strike
Dmg.: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Round 12

Jack’s first swing misses for calling Commander Jaliessa a lieutenant =). His second attack catches her leg.

Jack hits Jaliessa for 17 damage.

Icabhod doesn’t know which way he wants to go.

Jaliessa sees Tychus aiming at her out of the corner of her eye and ducks down dodging two out of the three bolts. One bolt hits and protrudes from her body dripping blood down her armor.

Tychus hits Jaliessa once for 16 damage.

Xallis also batters Jaliessa with a ranged attack, slamming her with magic missiles.

Xallis hits Jaliessa for 9 damage.

Hound Archon Crit Confirmation: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

As Jondus is raising his arms for another strike, the hound archon swings his greatsword and severs both his hands clean off. Jondus’ hammer crashes to the ground and the officer falls backwards and bleeds out with his last words, ”Fathrie… Forgive me… I love you.”. Curiously, the hound archon notices a copper bracelet engraved with hearts on one of Jondus’ dismembered wrists pulses slightly a few times before winking out. With Jondus dead, the hound archon turns to desert drake but cannot pierce its armor-like scales.

The hound archon’s greatsword crits on a 19-20 so with the confirmation I rolled about, he hits Jondus with a critical hit for 36 damage and kills him. His second greatsword attack and bite are misses on the drake.

Jaliessa regrets leaving Julania alive after she climbs up onto the table after her and rips open her back. ”You whelp! I’ll…” Jaliessa sentence trails off. The lights in her eyes begin to darken from blood loss.

Julania gets a critical hit on Jaliessa for 47 damage. She’s still alive though.

Then Henrika finishes the job, she easily bluffs the commander who can barely register the attack and swings her sword down, ending the woman’s life.

Henrika hits Jaliessa for 31 damage and kills her. Since the bonus attack wasn’t needed, keep your hero point.

The nauseated officer creeps forward, still sickened, to see how the fight is going. Badly. The servants finally decide to make a run for it, taking their chances passing the surly elephant.

Sadly, the lore warden isn't fast enough to catch the magic rapier.

Since Jaliessa is no longer a threat, Malphene can use her action to pick up the weapon, unless Trevor would rather choose not to throw it. That’s okay too.

"Darling! CATCH!" The cleric tosses Godspike into the lore warden's hand. Move Action

"Jaliessa, is it? You look parched, my dear! Cheers!"
Trevor will then cast create water in Jaliessa's lungs. Combat Action

Throwing your weapon would be a standard action, not a move action. As for that use of create water. No, you can’t do that. I’m pretty flexible with player creativity but create water cannot be used offensively like that. Sorry. Since Jaliessa is dead, if Trevor wants to change his actions for the round, I’ll allow it.

Round 13

Desert Drake – Bite, Power Attack vs. Hound Archon’s AC 21: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Concealment 20%: 1d100 ⇒ 99
Damage: 2d6 + 18 ⇒ (1, 4) + 18 = 23 Electricity Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 7

Desert Drake – Tail Slap, Power Attack vs. Hound Archon’s AC 21: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Concealment 20%: 1d100 ⇒ 92
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

The drake strikes at the hound archon again with a bite that should have killed it if not for its natural resistances. Then it swings a powerful tail swipe around that the archon ducks under.

Desert Drake Fort DC 13: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

The desert drake hits the hound archon for 13 damage after DR. Its tail slap is a miss. It passes the save for the stinking cloud.

Round 13

"I'll be alright", Trevor says, unslinging the crossbow from his back. "You are the Warrior of the two of us. Now go kill us a dragon, won't you?"

Round 13

Trevor is greatly relieved to see Jaliessa fall. Killing someone by filling their lungs with ale is considered a major taboo to Cayden.

The cleric uses his turn to load a bolt into the crossbow.
