DM Carbide's CORE Test of Tar Kuata #6-19

Game Master John Woodford

Sorry I was in the middle of a move here.

Sylvester flies 10 feet in the air and drops a Fireball on all three opponents.

Fireball,Draconic Bloodline: 7d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 5, 2, 1, 6, 6, 2) + 7 = 33

Round 2 (ongoing):

Initiative order
Devonalia-acted
Sylvester-acted
Radagast-acted
Sobek-acted
Beast-acted
Flying spider
Keynala
Tasutek
Desynthia

Sylvester casts fireball. In the deflagration, the flying spider is burned to ash along with the webbing over the pool. The creature in the water thrashes about in pain, but Tasutek ducks just in time and seems to take no damage from the spell.

The qlippoth swims up to the rock and spits out a mouthful of spiders, which scuttle over the rock and onto Devonalia. Devonalia, take 1 point of damage, plus a DC 11 Fort save or take 1 point STR damage and a second DC 11 Fort save or nauseated for a round.

Keynala can act!

Tasutek: AC ? T ? FF ? HP taken: 0
Qlippoth: AC 16 T 9 FF 16 HP taken: 23

Fort DC 10 v fumes: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Her eyes water, but she doesn’t blink, focusing on the monster in the water, ”I’ll distract the kwipple thing, focus on the human if you can.”

She raises her buckler and moves forward, drawing a trident as she jumps into the water.

Total D, Move. She can’t fail any swim check other than stormy water, which this doesn’t seem to be. If the water is shallow like a bog and just difficult terrain then she would be able to move up next to the beast.

Fort vs dc11 STR dmg: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Fort vs dc11 nauseated: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Devonalia whines at the spider bites and feels a bit weaker but shakes off any queasy feelings.

Round 2 (ongoing):

Initiative order
Devonalia-acted
Sylvester-acted
Radagast-acted
Sobek-acted
Beast-acted
Keynala-acted
Tasutek-acted
Desynthia

Keynala jumps into the water and finds that it's deep enough to swim in and also stagnant. Unfortunately, it's also phenomenally corrosive. Take 5 points of acid damage, Keynala.

Tasutek continues forward and chops at Radagast, but can't manage to damage the druid.

Desynthia is up!

Just confirming: Is he Air Walking, Flying, or attacking with a reach weapon whilst Enlarged? Radagast explicitly had a 15' gap between him and the water, so a 'normal' reach weapon, at least, would not hit him...

Ah--I'd missed that. He throws a javelin at you, and still misses.

The ranger grits her teeth in pain, ”Ouch ouch ouch water bad!”

Desynthia finally completes her spell, and 1d3 ⇒ 3 eagles appear, attacking the Paffies closest foe Tasultek

Eagle A
Talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Beak: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Eagle B
Talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Beak: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Eagle C
Talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Beak: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Beak Crit?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Desynthia, you can take an action yourself. Also, do you want to have the eagles smite him?

In the interests of keeping things moving (there's a chance we'll be able to wrap up before the site goes dark next week), I'll assume Desynthia has the eagles smite and delays herself.

Two of the eagles manage to take bites out of the warpriest.

Round 3:

Initiative order
Desynthia-delaying
Devonalia-
Sylvester-
Radagast-
Sobek-
Qlippoth-
Keynala-
Tasutek-

Everyone but Keynala can act!

asutek: AC 19 T 12 FF 17 HP taken: 12
Qlippoth: AC 16 T 9 FF 16 HP taken: 23

Radagast pounces down upon the man.

Talon: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 = 13, for 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 damage.
Talon: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 2 = 23, for 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 damage.
Bite: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 2 = 20, for 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 damage.
Foreclaw: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 2 = 24, for 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 damage.

Round 3 (ongoing):

Radagast savages the enemy, but it's not enough to take him down.

Everyone else but Keynala can act!

Tasutek HP taken: 47

Devonalia moves out of the swarm area and throws an alchemist fire at the swarm picking a square were she will not endanger her teammates...

Alchemist Fire Throw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 ... DMG: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Round 3 (ongoing):

With a well-placed alchemist's fire, Devonalia incinerates the spider swarm!

Sylvester, Sobek, and Desynthia?

Sobek hustles along the cavern wall to where he can see the human enemy. He aims his bow and fires a shot...
No precise shot :(
Mwk Comp. Longbow: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 7 - 4 = 8
piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
The arrow arcs high overhead and shatters into splinters on the cavern ceiling. Sobek curses under his breath.

Round 3 (ongoing):

Initiative order
Desynthia-delaying
Devonalia-acted
Sylvester-
Radagast-acted
Sobek-acted
Qlippoth-
Keynala-
Tasutek-

Sobek's accuracy is adversely impacted by the fumes in the room (at least, that's his story and he's sticking to it).

Sylvester and Desynthia to go!

Desynthia cast magic missile at the Qlippoth while her eagles attack Kasutech

MM: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3, 3) + 3 = 12

Eagle A
talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
beak: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Eagle B
talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
beak: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Eagle C
talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
talon: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
beak: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Round 3 (ongoing):

The eagles won't get to attack again until Desynthia's original action; I should have put them in the initiative order that way.

Spell penetration check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

The energy of Desynthia's spell dissipates in the qlippoth's aura.

Sylvester?

Sylvester hovers effortlessly in the air and sends four magic missiles at Tasutek.

Magic Missile CL 7: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 1) + 4 = 11
