Happy new year!

Anyone have exciting plans for 2024?

Asvald will aid Torque as well.

"Something's not right here. These two tried to put a charm on me", Barsvald explains to the party.

"The magical kind of charm!"

Will (+4 vs. bardic performance, language-dependent, and sonic +4 ): 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 2 = 22

"I dunno. It's pretty worrying", Barsvald rumbles.

Barsvald's nose wrinkles in disgust as he cocks his head.

"That's funny. Smells like demons in here for some reason."

Barsvald looks around curiously. His eyes linger on the attendents.

Yup. I have scent.

Not at all put off by the bathhouse attendants, the huge Barsvald squeezes into the relatively tiny space to look around.

I think he can fit inside if the one on the left steps over.

He's around. I can poke him on discord.

Barsvald waves a huge paw from outside the small structure.

Barsvald takes a step forward but stops when he realizes he'd have a hard time fitting through the doorway.

"Eva, care to give it a shot?"

Barsvald backs away from the lizard.

"Don't go that way. There's a mean lizard that gave me the chills when it met my gaze", he growls in explanation to the party.

Hearing Senja's description of the water, Barsvald nods. "Good to know we have something like that ready in case of emergency."

"Let's see what's in this little building up north. We can double back and deal with the lizard later."

Fort: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 13 + 2 = 30

Barsvald growls at the lizard

Barsvald squeezes into the cavern to the south.

No spellcrafts here. =(

Wary of the water, Barsvald hugs the wall and makes his way west.

Asvald takes a moment to take in the scene.

"Let's check out that pool. The color of the water is unusual."

"I don't like the look of this place", Asvald comments as he leads the way forward. "Any of it look dangerous?" he asks the party of the alien flora.

Assuming the party doesn't find anything suspect among the fungus, Asvald will lead the party to check out the double doors.

My item sheet says I have a fresh CLW wand. Here we go!

CLW x18: 18d8 + 18 ⇒ (7, 1, 3, 7, 7, 1, 6, 8, 1, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 6, 4, 6, 8) + 18 = 121

32 charges left.

Barely kept on his paws by the ferocity of his song, Barsvald tears at the remaining construct.

Claw #1 (bear, raging song, heroism, arcane strike, power attack, favored enemy): 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 15 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 6 = 26
Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 6 = 28

Claw #2: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 6 = 30
Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 6 = 29

Bite: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 6 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 6 = 28

Fervor Bite: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 6 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 6 = 32

Did it make the save against the savage dirty trick? Also it was blinded.

Only red is damaged, right? The damaged one.

I think I got skipped last round by mistake. I'll post two rounds back to back if that's okay.

Last round:

Barsvald is bolstered by Torque's magic. He croons an ursine song and claws at the construct.

Inspire rage as a move. Attack as an action.

Claw #1 (bear, heroism, arcane strike, power attack, favored enemy): 1d20 + 15 + 2 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 15 + 2 - 3 + 6 = 37
Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 + 6 + 6 = 26

This round:

Barsvald tears at the tophets in a flurry of claws and fangs.

Claw #1 (bear, raging song, heroism, arcane strike, power attack, favored enemy): 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 6 = 30
Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 = 26

Claw #2: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 15 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 6 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 = 26

Bite: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 15 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 6 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 = 26

Fervor Claw: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 6 = 32
Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 = 29

If Asvald drops one of them and has attacks left for the other one, he'll replace it with a savage dirty trick to blind.

CMB to Blind: 1d20 + 21 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 21 + 2 = 37

If it succeeds the tophet takes 12 damage is blind for a turn and has to make a DC 27 fort save or be staggered for a turn as well.

I believe I'm 23 right now. 10 base + 4 natural armor + 1 dex + 4 mage armor + 4 barkskin + 1 deflection - 1 size. Ouch.

Barsvald roars in pain as he's pummeled by the dangerous constructs.

"Swallow whole? Let's see them swallow this", Asvald declares as his body explodes with furry bulk and he moves forward to engage the constructs.

Wild shape and move. Can you copy over my bear token from the other map?

"We're on the next floor", the skald comments helpfully answering Senja's question. "Which floor is that? Honestly I stopped counting a while ago. Ten? Twenty maybe?"

Aslvad casts his usual spells. Extended barkskin and heroism on himself. Extended heroism on Eva.

"East seems as good a place to start as any", Asvald adds as he heads that way.

I touched based with him but didn't get a chance to ask him about the game.

I'm going talk to him again tomorrow. I'll ask him then.

I can try to get a hold of him.

Perform: 10 + 18 + 4 = 32

Increase the result by 150% for the usual reasons.

Not going to bother with hexes. We've got all the really good ones at this point.

Hurray!

Barsvald waves a paw at the Steward and prepares to depart with his companions.

Sorry. Just got back from a trip and I wasn't being very dutiful about checking on the game.

Barsvald ignores anymore constructs in favor of the coffin that seems to be producing them.

Claw #1 (bear, heroism, raging song, haste, arcane strike, power attack): 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (6) + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 = 21

Claw #2: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (11) + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 29
Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 = 21

Bite: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 = 22

Haste Bite: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (15) + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 33
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 = 24

I assume the coffin isn't actually a construct itself? If it is add +6 to attack and damage on each of those.

Bearsbald cocks his head in surprise finding a new construct so soon after tearing the previous one to bits.

Before the newcomer can mount a defense he lays into it.

Claw #1 (bear, heroism, raging song, haste, arcane strike, power attack, favored enemy): 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 = 43
Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 = 29

Claw #2: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 = 30
Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 = 31

Bite: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 = 36
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 = 28

Haste Bite: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 = 38
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 = 27

Barsvald roars in victory after the tiny constructs are rent to pieces.

Finding new challengers, he rears up on his hind legs and mauls the yellow-tinted automaton.

Claw #1 (bear, heroism, raging song, haste, arcane strike, power attack, favored enemy): 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 = 44
Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 = 29

Claw #2: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 = 34
Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 = 30

Bite: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 = 32
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 = 32

Haste Bite: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 = 29
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 = 33

Confirming Claw #1: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 = 33
Extra Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 = 28

Bearsvald roars, annoyed by the biting swarm.

Fort (raging song, heroism): 1d20 + 13 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 13 + 4 + 2 = 27

After shaking them from his shaggy coat, he mauls the tiny constructs.

Claw #1 (bear, heroism, raging song, haste, arcane strike, power attack, favored enemy): 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 = 30

Claw #2: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 = 27

Bite: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 = 26

Haste Bite: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 + 6 = 34
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 6 = 28

Is the swarm small enough to be immune to weapons?

Asvald begins his battle chant. His crooning turns bestial as the skald assumes his more ursine form.

Inspire rage. Wildshape.

Raging Song - Bear Verse

+4 Strength (morale)
+4 Constitution (morale)
+4 Constitution (enhancement)
+3 Will Saves (morale)
-1 AC
Savage Dirty Trick (1/round, DC 24 or DC 27 in Bear Form)

No complaints here.

I don't think a ton of time has passed. I can pass out another heroism if someone didn't get one.

"Let's see what's next", Asvald says as he moves to open the double doors.

"Bah! I shouldn't have eaten such a big lunch."

Starting off taking 10. If 12 isn't enough...

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Escape Artist: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Escape Artist: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

You can do it!

After Eva's checked the space out Asvald moves to the southeastern doors and opens them.

"Keep an eye on the golem in the corner. I don't trust it."

Noting Eva's tactics Asvald abandons his blade in favor of stomping the dangerous construct bits.

Taking the extra -4 to deal lethal damage with unarmed strike since I'm not a monkey.

Unarmed (heroism, power attack, favored enemy, lethal): 1d20 + 17 + 2 - 3 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 17 + 2 - 3 + 6 - 4 = 32
Damage: 1d3 + 9 + 6 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 6 + 3 + 6 = 25

Iterative: 1d20 + 12 + 2 - 3 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 2 - 3 + 6 - 4 = 30
Damage: 1d3 + 9 + 6 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 6 + 3 + 6 = 27

Haste Attack: 1d20 + 17 + 2 - 3 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 17 + 2 - 3 + 6 - 4 = 37
Damage: 1d3 + 9 + 6 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 6 + 3 + 6 = 26

Constitution Save: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 2 = 27

Filled with fervor, Asvald hacks at the animate creatures clawing at his ankles.

Sword (heroism, power attack, favored enemy): 1d20 + 17 + 2 - 3 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 17 + 2 - 3 + 4 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 6 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 6 + 3 + 4 = 26

Iterative: 1d20 + 12 + 2 - 3 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 12 + 2 - 3 + 4 = 31
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 6 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 6 + 3 + 4 = 23

Haste Attack: 1d20 + 17 + 2 - 3 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 17 + 2 - 3 + 4 = 33
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 6 + 3 = 23

"Bah!" Asvald shouts as he muscles free from the tentacle. "We've got some kind of animated debris in the corner!"

Asvald uses total defense and moves. Does this thing count as a construct?

Asvald eyes the tentacles suspiciously. "I don't like the look of those."

The skald raises his shield and enters the room carefully.

"Hold it still Torque, I'll finish it!"

Sword (inspire, heroism, power attack): 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 17 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 = 26

Iterative: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 12 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 1 = 33
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 = 20

Haste Attack: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 17 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 1 = 31
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 = 27

"Left, got it!"

Reroll: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 17 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 1 = 31
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 = 21

Reflex: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 28

"Die already!" Asvald shouts in frustration as he continues hacking at the elemental's form.

Sword (inspire, heroism, power attack): 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 17 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 = 22

Iterative: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 = 23

Haste Attack: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 17 + 2 + 2 - 3 + 1 = 34
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 = 24

Feeling his burns mend under Torque's healing spell, Asvald resumes his furious assult!

Sword (inspire, heroism, power attack): 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (8) + 17 + 2 + 2 - 3 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 = 27

Iterative: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 2 + 2 - 3 = 33
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 = 24

This is an elemental so no crits, right? I'll roll anyway just in case.

Iterative: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 2 + 2 - 3 = 30
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 = 27

Reflex: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 2 = 31
Reflex: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 = 17

Big ouch. 37/93 HP.

Asvald groans in pain when the fiery limb of the elemental slams into his side. Fortunately Torque's magic staves off the worst of the flames.

Before it can attack again, Asvald strikes back with two quick slashes from his blade.

Sword (inspire, heroism, power attack): 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (4) + 17 + 2 + 2 - 3 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 = 22

Iterative: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (16) + 12 + 2 + 2 - 3 = 29
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 2 + 6 + 3 = 25

Does moving in the molten metal not hurt us because of the fire resistance?

Asvald begins a chant and holds his shield high, challenging the elemental to do its worst.

Start inspire rage. Total defense.
