PFS #4098-04
Dayjob; don't believe she has one. I'll be applying it to a level 1 PC anyway.
Normal progression

Well, we survived.
That did get close. I drop the rage, and join in the cleanup, with aching muscles.

Just the wizard left, I'll use my action to retrieve a potion of lesser restoration.

Nausea 4/4

So I'm holding two, waiting to drink.

Fortitude, raged, enervated: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 2 - 3 = 17

Is that a pass, for once?

"Well done, dropping fang-face!"

If anyone's feeling fragile, and thinks they'll go down in one good hit, look after yourselves, and do whatever you need to do. Get behind cover, drink a cure, put up a defensive buff, or whatever.
Just because I'm playing a gung-ho melee bruiser, doesn't mean I expect anyone else to stand on the front line, taking a beating, especially when I've been temporarily hobbled.
The only PC's hit points and conditions I've been tracking are my own, and I know I've been down to 1hp off dead, before I got better.

I'll move to physically block the doors.

'Just...keep him busy.'
<bluurgh>
'Just a few more seconds.'

'I'll be fine.'

'He knows I'm the one he has to kill, if he wants to live.'

Nausea 3/4

Glitterdust is good.
He's going to fail a save sometime.
And even if he doesn't, it stops him fleeing invisibly.

'Just play for time. He's out of options, and knows it.'
<BLOOOARGH>

I'd intimidate him, but it's a standard action.

Hard to make your threats believable, when you're blowing chunks.

Move action, retrieve potion of cure serious.

[Nausea 2/4]

"He must be nearly out of spells, if he's throwing the little stuff around.
Can anyone dispel that force shield?"

Ugh, you others will have to bring him down, while I shake this off.

[Nausea 1/4]

I am now.

I've one action, and can't attack, so I'll move backward out of the cloud and use it for cover.

I could have been clearer. My mistake in not remembering it's a longer casting time.

My home game's currently level 16/Mythic 6, so I'm having the opposite problem from Jason, in having to play down to level 7 norms.

Our frontline beast has had enlarge pre-quickened and embedded in his gear for so long, I stopped prepping it months ago.

I'm confused where I am in the order.
I thought enlarge was a standard action spell, so waited for her to cast it. If it doesn't take effect immediately, I wouldn't have waited, as it would be a wasted turn.

Yes, you're right.
I'll have to roll the fog saves.

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Can I take those attacks against the sinspawn instead, while I wait for the spell to take effect?
I'd still be Medium, knock off 1d8+2 from the damage?
If that doesn't drop him, I'll have to take the spear damage.

Because I'd waited for her to reach me, I'm going to have slipped in the order.

Doodle
Seoni
Bramble
Lasaraleen

"Need more healing! Keep me up, and I'll have him!"

I didn't have my action, delaying till immediately after Seoni, before wizard.

As I can reach the ceiling, I can full attack.

[Base +13, rage +2, heroism +2, haste +1, sickened -2, Power attack -2, enervation -3]
[Str now 26, sword base damage up one step]

prime attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
damage+powerful blow: 3d8 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (8, 3, 1) + 20 + 2 = 34

bonus attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
damage: 3d8 + 20 ⇒ (2, 2, 1) + 20 = 25

secondary attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
damage: 3d8 + 20 ⇒ (7, 2, 1) + 20 = 30

Does that drop him before his turn?

Concentration check 1d20+7+4 vs DC 19.

It's actually DC26(!), but you still made it.

If you take damage while trying to cast a spell, you must make a concentration check with a DC equal to 10 + the damage taken + the level of the spell you’re casting. If you fail the check, you lose the spell without effect.

"Seoni? Got an enlarge spell? I can get three attacks, and stay in his face."

*%&$^($(£!!

(moved dead creatures off the map, and stepped forward)

Okay, since I risk being dropped by an AoO, if I fly up, it's time to unload on the elemental, that's giving me most grief.

[Base +13, rage +2, heroism +2, haste +1, sickened -2, Power attack -2]

prime attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29
damage: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (6, 8) + 18 = 32

bonus attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
damage: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (3, 5) + 18 = 26

Assuming that drops it (and it should, even if augmented), the last attack will go against the sinspawn.

secondary attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
damage: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (7, 5) + 18 = 30

If it's still standing, I'll step away, so it has to find me.
If it drops, I'll step forward.

Any word on how long the stagger effect lasts?

If it's still running, I can't draw a potion and drink it same round, so would focus on clattering these enemies.
Are the sinspawn wearing any armour?
Without dex, and blinded, they ought to be easy to hit.

It's the elemental who hits hardest of the three meleeers, though. And the one I need to get away from.

Saves, with heroism+2, PvE +2, haste +1 Ref, sickened -2

sinspawn bite: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
acid: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
grease: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Right, I calculate that I've taken 117 damage, minus 4 from DR/-, and healed 25, making a net 88. One claw at 19 didn't hit. So I'm being propped up by my rage hp.

And I don't know if you knew, but I can't be flanked, unless they have an ability to count as Rogue 11.

Am I still staggered, for the coming round?

"MEDIC! Need healing NOW!"

Delay till after others act.

Okay, I'm limited to one action, though luckily, I can still make two attacks via Cleave.

Using Surprise Accuracy vs the sinspawn,

Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35
damage: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (1, 3) + 18 = 22

then 5' step, and follow up, flanking, on the tiger.

Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21
damage: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (3, 4) + 18 = 25

Fort save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Ref save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

That was poor.
Is the sickness stackable with itself?

Back to the top of the round;

Doodle
Bramble
Seoni
Lasaraleen
Sinspawn

Rage+2, heroism+2, haste+1, Power Attack-2, sickened-2

First attack vs sinspawn.

1st attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
damage: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (8, 3) + 18 = 29

Then step up to attack the tiger, with next 2 attacks.

bonus attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23
damage: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (8, 4) + 18 = 30

2nd attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
damage: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (4, 8) + 18 = 30

I hadn't yet raged, so Will is still at base level, plus heroism, plus PvE.

Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 or 2 higher, if vs fear.

I moved Bramble and Doodle forward on the map per their stated actions. I am not sure if the positioning is exactly correct.

I've shifted her to the left a bit; the idea was to hug the wall, and flush them out.

Walk forwards, into the left edge of the fog, come back around, until I see an opponent, then free action rage and attack.

Sorry, no idea where I'll end up on the map.

Attack: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 15 + 1 = 21
damage: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (8, 6) + 18 = 32

Initiative after the readied fireball and enemy casting is;

Doodle
Bramble
Seoni
Lasaraleen (will be emitting sanctuary aura)
THEM

Doodle next.

Can I see anyone on the edge of the fog?
And is it thin enough at the edges, to identify them?

I don't know if it's intentional, but I think there's the corner of a base peeping out.
If they aren't there, let me know, otherwise, I'd rush them.

'Any idea what that casting was?'

'If they've fogged themselves, they can either see in it, don't need to see, or they're playing for buff time.'

'If I'm enlarged, I can dive in, and threaten the whole fogged area'

So, it's;

Doodle
Lasaraleen (delay)
Bramble
Seoni
THEM

Doodle acted, so since I saw a flyer, I'll pull out a fly potion, and drink it, while stepping slightly forward.

Is visibility reduced to five feet?
And how high was the ceiling, before visibility ended?

(Sorry, thought he'd filled the room with fog.)

initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Ready!

(I'm still suspicious of the people in the lobby, especially now I know there was nothing holding back the shadow. It could have hunted them any time.
We may have to deal with them turning on us, on the way out.)

I'm ready with a few rounds healing. I'll take wand charges, to preserve channels for in-combat healing.
Assume prayer wears off, while post-rage fatigue winds down, but the other buffs are still running.

While this is taking place, can we look around the room?
The benches suggest it's a meeting room or temple.

"Ow. Healing needed."

Rage, Power Attack

Attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (20) + 20 = 40

damage: 2d8 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (3, 1) + 18 + 1 = 23

Confirmation: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (8) + 20 = 28

damage: 2d8 + 18 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4, 7) + 18 + 1 + 2 = 32

---------------------------------

Iterative Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34

damage: 2d8 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4) + 18 + 1 = 26

Confirmation: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

damage: 2d8 + 18 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4, 6) + 18 + 1 + 2 = 31

Something snaps inside.

Beware the warp-spasm, as she turns completely around inside her skin, to stab Emeketta in the back of the head.

First attack (rage, Power Attack)

Attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26

damage: 2d8 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2) + 18 + 1 = 24

Iterative Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20

damage: 2d8 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (7, 2) + 18 + 1 = 28

Holding till after everyone else has acted.

"Can you distract her a bit? She's still well armoured."

(Aid Other is really easy, and you don't have to get through DR)

Five foot step around

First attack (rage, Power Attack)

Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33

damage: 2d8 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (3, 1) + 18 + 1 = 23

Iterative Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

damage: 2d8 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (8, 1) + 18 + 1 = 28

Welcome to Doodlevain!

Now let's put this bony creature in the ground!

I'm not going to argue against rerolling that!
LOL

Move action Guarded Stance: As a move action that doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity, Amiri can gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC against melee attacks for a number of rounds equal to her current Constitution modifier (typically 4 rounds).

Five foot step around

First attack (rage, Power Attack)

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

damage: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (4, 6) + 18 = 28

Delay for potential buff/flank/aid, but not so long as to not act before the knight.

"Tell those people in the entrance, if they want to see their homes again, to stop sitting on their thumbs!"

Well, that's better than facing a death knight.
Certainly the death knights I made for Age of Worms.
At least my damage is getting through.

I saw the d100, and nearly freaked.
What's she hitting me with, a telephone pole?
Miss chance saves me from a crit!
Are those her attack bonuses, after blindness penalties? Because they went up. And there's some bonus damage, is that unholy? If so, that's not applicable to me, as CN.

If she's blinded (which as a Will save, she can be), we can swamp her, and provide flanks/aids.

I'm not yet convinced my full damage is going through, as undead have a variety of DR.

Any enlarge buffs going? That should guarantee I breach any DR, even with poor rolls.

And don't forget those of you with familiars, they can run past a blinded enemy to deliver touch spells.

For 'which crit', there was an auto hit, by me above, but I don't know if it then confirmed, possibly not, if AC is higher than 23.

Anything that adds attacks or attack bonuses is welcome. I'm not convinced my secondary attack is reliable.

Five foot step.

First attack (rage, dropping Power Attack, for accuracy)

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17

damage: 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (5, 7) + 12 = 24

Second attack (swift action surprise accuracy)

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

damage: 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (5, 7) + 12 = 24

If she's crittable, roll to confirm (+2 damage for killer trait);

Confirm: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

extra crit damage: 2d8 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (3, 6) + 12 + 2 = 23
