Curse of the Crimson Throne

Game Master EltonJ

Gator's save against the adhesive spittle spell: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Lamm's gator is severely wounded. Thanks to Thoric's attack. Infact, it's dying.

I'll do Lamm as soon as Karinna resolves her AoO on him.

Opportunity attack vs Lamm (rapier), flanking, Piranha Strike: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 21
Damage (piercing), Piranha Strike: 1d6 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) - 1 + 2 = 4

Hit, and you did damage to Lamm.

END ROUND 1

Lamm is still searching a way to escape! His gator pet is dying, and he is running. It looks like he doesn't care!

BEGIN ROUND 2

"If you're looking to turn this tragedy into a comedy, all you had to do was ask."

The elf leans forward to pikc up the scroll he discarded to fire his bow. He casually flicks it open and reads the runic magic.

Casting grease on Lamm, DC 11 Reflex save to avoid slipping and falling. Aiming the square forward so allies can still get behind him and attack.

Casting grease on Lamm, DC 11 Reflex save to avoid slipping and falling. Aiming the square forward so allies can still get behind him and attack.

Lamm's Reflex Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

He avoids slipping and falling.

“Oh no you don’t!” Thoric says as he attempts to cut off Lamm’s escape, while avoiding the Grease on the floor.

(If the gator is unconscious Thoric will move on and attack Lamm, double moving if needed and then not attacking. If the gator is still awake he will use the below attack then take a single move.)

Dwarven Waraxe Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Dwarven Waraxe DMG: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Bridgette keeps on Lamm like a predator on it's prey.
"You owe us a lot of debt you, B4st4ard."

atk_melee: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Looks like a miss either way. Lamm is going to avoid your grasp.

While he doesn't have anything deeply personal against this guy, Lem is pretty excited about the fight. "Yeah! Get him!" He slaps another spell onto the tall woman.

Guidance on Bridgette again.

Azig stays out of the way of the bigger, warrior types.

Karinna stabs at Lamm again, and as she does so she cries out: "Where is Cardoña? What have you done to her, you wretch!"

Attack vs Lamm (rapier), flanking, Piranha Strike: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 13
Damage (piercing), Piranha Strike: 1d6 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) - 1 + 2 = 7

Karinna stabs at Lamm again, and as she does so she cries out: "Where is Cardoña? What have you done to her, you wretch!"

[dice=Attack vs Lamm (rapier), flanking, Piranha Strike]1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1
[dice=Damage (piercing), Piranha Strike]1d6 - 1 + 2

That was actually a good hit.

(I believe we have all acted in round 2)

Lamm gets a sword and turns around.

"I don't know why your here, but apparently I'm bleeding," he says (referring to Karinna's strike earlier). "I'm going away, hopefully I'll survive, but all of you aren't going to stop me."

ROUND 2 is over.

begin ROUND 3.

He's trying to beg for mercy.

"Where. Is. Cardoña." Karinna demands an answer from the slippery creature Lamm, even as she attempts to disarm him.

Combat maneuver (disarm), flanking: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 = 9

"You think you're going away? After the crimes you've committed, the people you've hurt. The families you've destroyed? I only hope the devils treat you properly when your soul arrives in hell."

That said, he stays out of the way of the fighters....

"Where. Is. Cardoña." Karinna demands an answer from the slippery creature Lamm, even as she attempts to disarm him.

Combat maneuver (disarm), flanking: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 = 9

You did not disarm him.

"Cardona? Who?" Lamm says.

"Oh, please, help me." he says in a mocking tone. "Don't hurt me!"

Daranil draws a knife as he gets a look in his eyes. He steps closer to Lamm, hoping to physically bar him from escape.

"As I recall, those words weren't. So. Useful. When I asked of you for mercy."

"Oh, please, help me." he says in a mocking tone. "Don't hurt me!"

Daranil draws a knife as he gets a look in his eyes. He steps closer to Lamm, hoping to physically bar him from escape.

"As I recall, those words weren't. So. Useful. When I asked of you for mercy."

"You didn't deserve it, then."

Bridgette moves to block another exit in the room.

"There will be No escaping our debts, you B4st4rd."

Karinna frowns. "Don’t pretend you don’t know who that is. I have traced her to you, and if you will not tell me where she is, I will follow your slimy trail once you are dead."

Lem just came to find evidence to exonerate his friend. Having this guy dead will just make that easier, as far as he's concerned. He chimes in helpfully "Yeah, you're not getting away from us!"

"There were so many waifs, I don't know who that is!"

Azig spits with contempt. "Sounds like you just lost the last bit of value that your life had!"

"You didn't deserve it, then."

"You don't mean that." There's a bit of genuine concern when Daranil says those words.

He reaches up to toss his mask to the side, and then he yanks down the cloth over his mouth. Part of the elf's fave looks partially impacted, as though the bones around the socket were broken and set one. That eye is slightly off kilter, and his jaw hangs slack, as if it lost functionality on that side of his face.

"There ish no shuch thing ash 'didn't desherve it' in thish world. The godsh. Demand. ENTERTAINMENT!!"

A bit of spittle trickles down from the corner of the elf's lips. His jaw pops and cracks painfully as he speaks without the support.

"Don't hide from what you created. Be proud!"

Studying the situation, Thoric begins to round himself to block off possible exits. Even if he has to get through another ally, this guy is a worm and could slither through anyone.

"OH, now I remember you," says Lamm. "You were quite the theatrical one. You were also intellectual . . . not much of a thief. I broke your jaw once."

The man was talking so much Lem was starting to suspect something was up. The halfling looks around to make sure nothing is sneaking up on them from behind.

Perception to check for ambushes or I don't know see if this is an illusion or something: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

[dice=Perception to check for ambushes or I don't know see if this is an illusion or something]1d20+5

You see three others moving on you.

Bridgette does a room check with her 120-ft darkvision and her elven hearing
perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

"Stop talking and kill him!"

Azig throws a dart at the hated man, to hit: 1d20 + 6 - 8 ⇒ (8) + 6 - 8 = 6 missing him completely....

You see three others moving on you.

From where and what do they look like?

Lem yells and points (in the directions DM provides). "He's distracting you! Ambush!"

They are directly behind you. They are the three thugs that ran away from you the first time.

Azig spins around. Seeing the group of thugs he chugs his last extract and charges into the middle of them.

If they're not flat footed I guess that would draw AoOs... AC21

If I make it to the group, free action to release the spell. 1d6 ⇒ 5 damage from Shock Shield. My Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 Reflex save DC16 for half damage.

Did I just kill myself? ;-P

Nope, you didn't. you take 2 damage.

The group of three thugs try to save:
Thug reflex save 1: 1d20 ⇒ 13
Thug reflex save 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Thug reflex save 1: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

The group of three thugs try to save:

[dice=Thug reflex save 1]1d20
[dice=Thug reflex save 2]1d20+2
[dice=Thug reflex save 1]1d20-1

They are all affected by your spell, and take 5 damage.

(When the time comes - are we still in rounds)
Thoric wants to take care of Lamm, but seeing the three moving in he makes a snap call and moves towards who ever is the closest threat and attacks. "How could we be so blind." he mutters under his breath in frustration as the trap is sprung on them.

Dwarven Waraxe Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Dwarven Waraxe DMG: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Yes, you are still in rounds. I was going to have Lamm gloat like some corny supervillain.

"You didn't count on my henchmen," Lamm begins to gloat. "He that fights and runs away, lives to fight another day!"

"Is that the troupe of clowns you requested? Oh, perhaps they're here to sing your epitath. Here, let's help them reach a high note!"

Daranil targets one of the less wounded thugs and casts a spell at one, filling his mind with abstract, artfully crafted horrors. If need be, he'll take a short step away from Lamm to avoid leaving himself open to an attack.

Casting cause fear on one of the thugs, DC 15 will save to avoid running away for one round (and presumably spending the next round running back)

Thug will save: 1d20 ⇒ 8

The thug feels fear, and attempts to find a spot to cower!

Lem gestures at Lamm with his little mace. "Drop your weapons and get on the ground or we kill your boss!"

Intimidate check on thugs: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 (+2 if he's in a dim or dark area)

Bridgette charges for Lamm and thinks about playing one of her trump cards, the one that happens to be a double edged sword.
But she'd need to touch Lamm to get it in play.

They drop their weapons.

Lamm freezes in fear of Bridgette.

Lamm's face full of fear, makes Bridgette smile the smile of a predator has to prey.

play trump: 1d2 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

and decides to play it.

She goes to touch his coat, and attaches the spell darkness on it using her racial spell like ability, effectively making him blind, but others blind to him.
Unfortunately for him Bridgette's learned to fight blind.

As the darkness takes hold, Bridgette adds with the voice that would send chills down anyone's spine "Enjoy giving fear and blindness to others, well time to have a taste of it yourself, Lamm."

Blinded means, no withdraw, -2 on attacks, -2 AC, No Dex bonus for AC
All opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) against a blinded character. Blind creatures must make a DC 10 Acrobatics skill check to move faster than half speed. Creatures that fail this check fall prone.

"This is so unfair!"

Bridgette's voice is ice cold as she quietly replies
"Unfair, what you did unto others was Unfair. Fairness and justice are finally balancing the scales of the debt you owe."

Darkness doesn't make things supernatural dark, so those with Darkvision can see Lamm.
Folks might also want to invest a feat into blind-fight for later fights when I play this card at a higher level.

Spell Lasts 1 minute, 1 Round is about 6 seconds, so 10 Rounds of Lamm being blind

Stabbity Stab: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
