Drogo and Daphnaie's page

Thanks GM Zoomba and everyone else for a great session!

Drogo turns to Tess and rubs a bit of healing dirt in her biggest wound.

While Daphnaie glides across the battlefield with her boosted speed to base the archer. Feeling inspired by the magic, she holds a deadly pose to demoralize before striking.

Daphnaie's Intimidation (M): 1d20 + 21 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 21 + 1 + 2 = 41 Intimidating Prowess +1 circ, Thundering Dominance +2 status, Terrified Retreat

Daphnaie whispers through her telepathic bond, "It's time for me to get loud"

Drogo taking her queue, casts Thundering Dominance, while the Fey tries to soften blue up a little.

Slashing Vine: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (13) + 21 = 34

Thinking she may have connected (if not she'll thundering roar), she sends blue to the ground.

Daphnaie sends an arc of electricity towards blue and orange, before sliding into position next to zac.

Electric Arc DC29: 5d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 1, 3) + 3 = 15

Drogo runs faster than ever, his stubby little legs enjoying the forest's speed boost.

Drogo tries to remember what the manual said about casting a wall. He encloses the two archers (and yellow) in a stone structure, with a 20' high and 1" thick stone wall all around. Remembering these pesky undead from before, he even adds a little roof to keep in the arrows.

Daphnaie, not happy with this approach, can only stride towards the mayhem.

◆◆◆ Act Together
- Drogo casts Wall of Stone
- Daphnaie strides

GM,

Drogo is triangulating the trajectory of his new spell, wall of stone. He would like to put up a wall surrounding purple, yellow, and green, giving the party time to deal with the other three.

It looks like purple is exactly 120' away from Drogo (spell range). If that won't work, his backup option is to place the wall in front of yellow/green stretching across the gap and extending to the flaming forests on either side as far as possible.

Would either of those be possible?

Wall of Stone Spell

Unfortunately for the townsfolk, it's been a long day and Drogo isn't in the mood to ask nicely.

Daphnaie, still covered in bits of undead, looks as menacing as possible.

Daphnaie's Intimidation Aid (M): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (5) + 21 = 26 Intimidating Prowess, Terrified Retreat

While Drogo starts barking orders to lead the evacuation.
Drogo's Intimidation (M): 1d20 + 23 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 23 + 1 = 26 Intimidating Glare, Battle Cry, Terrified Retreat

It's been a long day, so Drogo digs deep and puts forth a better effort.

Hero Point Intimidation (M): 1d20 + 23 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 23 + 1 = 44 Intimidating Glare, Battle Cry, Terrified Retreat

Thoughts of those delicious cookies enter Drogo's mind as the end of the battle nears.

He sends a wave of positive energy towards green.

Disrupt Undead DC29: 5d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 1, 5, 4, 3) + 5 = 23

Daphnaie wails on the last archer sending it to the ground.

◆◆ Act Together
- Drogo casts Disrupt Undead at green
- Dapnnaie strikes

Realizing his strategy of hopping on one foot while invisible may not be the best, Drogo fires another blast of electricity at green and red.

Electric Arc DC29: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 3, 4) + 5 = 18

Daphnaie flings a pink petal, and then they move again to confuse their foes.

◆◆ Act Together

Feeling very uncomfortable about the current situation, he fires an arc of electricity at the blue and red archers hoping to re-kill the undead.

Electric Arc DC29: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 2, 3) + 5 = 17

Daphnaie strides across the field and says hello to the red archer with her vine.

or she strikes then strides if blue is still up

Slashing Vine: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 36
SV Damage (Slashing, Fire, Positive): 2d6 + 6 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 6 + (1) + (2) = 12
Deadly D8 (if crit): 1d8 ⇒ 2

◆◆ Act Together
- Drogo Cast Electric Arc at Red and Blue
- Daphaie strides
◆ Daphnaie strikes at red

Drogo, seeing the archers as the biggest problem, continues his march across the bridge. Daphnaie slashes blue with her vine while knocking it to the ground, then repositions to keep the wight guessing.

Slashing Vine: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (18) + 21 = 39
SV Damage (Slashing, Fire, Positive): 2d6 + 6 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 6 + (1) + (5) = 18

◆ Act Together
- Drogo Strides
- Daphnaie Strikes

Seeing his cousin disappear, Drogo continues the magic act by casting invisibility on himself. Daphnaie flings a pink petal towards the red archer, it’s packed with an electrical charge that bursts into flames on contact.

Sparking Petal: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22
SP Damage (Electricity, Fire): 2d4 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 + (2) = 13

Out of sight, and moving in perfect synchronization, they advance on the archers.

◆◆ Act Together
- Drogo Casts Invisibility L4 on himself

Drogo, following Grandma Tess's lead, casts invisibility (L4) on Daphnaie.

She races across the bridge, while Drogo tries to use the parties larger folk as cover.

Drogo, frustrated he can't just talk with the drakes, continues looking angry.

Drogo's Intimidation (M): 1d20 + 23 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 23 + 1 = 36 Intimidating Glare, Battle Cry, Terrified Retreat

Drogo and Daphaie head to the stables to see how stubborn these drakes will be. As always, the Fey does all the real work while the Gnome stands back, looks grumpy, and direction the action.

He casts Evolution Surge [Huge], transforming Daphnaie into an enormous version of herself. Now standing above the Drakes with a wicked grin, she cracks a pair of her vines (one in each hand) into the air.

Daphnaie's Intimidation Aid (M): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (13) + 21 = 34 Intimidating Prowess, Terrified Retreat

applying +3 for critical success

Drogo's Intimidation (M): 1d20 + 23 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 23 + 3 = 45 Intimidating Glare, Battle Cry, Terrified Retreat

It doesn’t last long [1m], but hopefully it’s enough to get the point across. You won’t like it when she’s angry.

I propose Drogo and Daphnaie tackle Tending together, she can provide aid while he intimidates the Drakes.

Team D will be most helpful with the charisma based checks on either Tending and/or Evacuation, with Intimidation (+23/+21) or Diplomacy (+20/+18).

These mindless undead really cramp Drogo's intimidating personality.

Seriously! That's by far the most saves I've ever had in one battle. :)

Daphnaie and Drogo dodge the worst of the blast.

Daphnaie's Reflex vs DC29 (E): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (17) + 20 = 37
Drogo's Reflex vs DC29 (E): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31
hp 79-11=68

The duo reposition, and Daphnaie looks for a zombie she hasn't tripped yet. She points at the last one and yells,
Your turn!

Persistent Fire: 1d20 ⇒ 13

Covered in rotting flesh, and still on fire, the fey skips into off-guard with Zac. Drogo casts a spell of protection, while Daphnaie sends another shambler to the ground.

Slashing Vine: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (7) + 21 = 28

Any chance Tess's Opportune Backstab triggers when Daphnaie hits the zombie, it may be enough to finish it off. Team-work!

Thanks for the ruling! That's always how I've played it as a gm. As a player, it brings a new perspective to rules interpretation. :)

Daphnaie's Reflex 1 (E): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (9) + 20 = 29
Daphnaie's Fortitude 1 (E): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26
Daphnaie's Reflex 2 (E): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (9) + 20 = 29

Daphnaie's Will (E): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18
Hero Point Daphnaie's Will (E): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

That was a lot of checks :), I think this is what they mean...
Daphnaie succeeds on 2 DC23 Reflex and 2 DC24 Fortitude saves. Taking 28/2 and 36/2 (32 total), and is not blinded.
Drogo succeeds & Daphnaie (after 1 hero point) critically succeeds at the DC29 will save, taking the worse result of the two 34/2 or 0 (17 total), and are not frightened.
They are now at 144-32-17=95, and a big thank you to Grandma Tess for the extra hero point.

GM Zoomba,

This is my first time playing with Knockdown, and glad I finally get to try it out before the rule changes. :)

Does the knockdown action need to happen in the same round as the strike? Or could Daphnaie use the first action of the next round for it, if the last action of the previous round was for her to successfully strike.

Thanks!

Requirements The monster's last action was a success with a Strike that lists Knockdown in its damage entry. Effect The monster knocks the target prone.

both Drogo & Daphnaie cast L2 longstrider as part of their daily prep, along with summmoner's precaution

As Drogo goes to unleash his mighty battle cry, he recognizes a horde of mindless shamblers. Instead, it comes out as a hefty sigh of disappointment.

Drogo's Will (E): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (17) + 19 = 36
Daphnaie's Will (E): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

Feeling a little luck on their side, the pair move into attack position. Daphnaie closes in on purple while Drogo runs away.

A vine appears from the tip of Daphnaie's finger, raking across the zombie's flesh with magically charged thorns. After first contact, she reverses direction knocking her foe prone.

Slashing Vine: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (13) + 21 = 34

Drogo takes up Grandma Tess on her hospitality, stuffing a whole cookie into his mouth. Or two if she doesn't object. Several crumbs tumble and lodge into his beard, while he rubs his big belly.

Delicious! You’ve gotta keep up your energy when facing a horde of undead. Are there any scouting reports on the type of undead the old Tyrant is sending our way?

It's very exciting to see a two gnome party! Cousin?

I have 1 gm glyph, and would like to offer it up to the L9 cleric Dranald.

“Pleasure to meet you, Maja. I am Drogo.”

A bald gnome with a round belly and white waist length beard gives a little bow before saying,

“And this is Daphnaie.”

He gestures to the elegant dryad, before joining Thereus on the ground.

Drogo tosses some electricity at the two remaining agents, while Daphnaie laughs with glee as she lashes out on an the electrified opponent.

It doesn't look like Mandower was healed at all after the last encounter.

I used lay on hands to heal him for 18hp.

Sorry, I missed Phosporoo was down a bunch of HP. Drogo will cast a L3 Heal on our dragonish friend.

Heal L3: 3d8 + 24 ⇒ (7, 1, 6) + 24 = 38

after the last battle

Drogo eases the pain of Daphnaei and Mandowar with a gentle pat on the shoulder, healing each for 18HP. Still seeing the remains of a war flail blow, he treats her wounds with assurance and a sparkly rainbow bandage.

Treat Wounds (E): 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (4, 3) + 10 = 17

Daphnaie thanks Ortis for the attempt, and shares in his frustration with the poor medicine checks this adventure.

Actions:
◆ Lay on Hands
◆ Lay on Hands
◆ Familiar Refocus
10m Treat Wounds/Refocus

Daphnaie was only down 28 due to a protect companion reaction, bringing her back to full hp.

As Daphnaie takes another shot that splays her on the ground, Drogo uses the Life Block reaction to reduce her damage taken by 10.

Drogo slams the butt of his staff to the ground and commands the dreugar C2 to retreat from his position, while Daphnaie stands-up and jabs at it with her thorn.

Acidic Thorn: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
Acid Damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2) + 3 = 9

◆◆ Act Together

- Daphnaie stands
◆ Daphnaie strikes

I believe C2 should be down another 32 hp from Daphnaie's two strikes last round

I've adjusted Daphnaie to be on the front line, and hopefully take a little heat off of Itka.

Drogo and Daphnaie try their hands again at dc20 treat wounds on the two most wounded folks in the party (Ungarz & Mandower I think).

Daphnaie's Medicine (E) @Ungarz: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
Treat Wounds @Ungarz: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (8, 3) + 10 = 21

"Hmph! Why won't the thingy over here stick to the flibbity bit over there?", she screams in frustration.

Drogo uses assurance to make the dc20 medicine check.
Treat Wounds @Mandower: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (8, 2) + 10 = 20

Both Drogo and Daphnaie pull out their healers tools and try to patch up the wounded.

Daphnaie DC20 for Ikta (E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
Drogo's DC20 for Mandower (E): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

Apparently they are both still distracted from the battle. :(

Drogo gives a nod to Ikta, seeing she's seen the safety that being in the back brings. Staying in his safe place, Drogo empowers Daphnaie to do all the work.

She glides to the other side of the demon and whispers "Aren't I just the prettiest", as she slides her thorn through it's back.

Acidic Thorn: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27
Acid Damage: 2d6 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2) + 3 + 4 = 10

A jolt of electricity reaches across the room to zap the remaining two demons, as Daphnaie rushes across the room to strike the closest one.

GM, any chance you can add our starting location to the current map?

Drogo votes for the temple as well.

"Indeed, let's go see what ancient Dwarven secret's await."

If we’re allowed one round of actions after battle I can top off Mandower and Itka, if not please ignore.

Daphnaie hands the recent potion of healing to Mandower, while miming an ale chug. Drogo lays his hands on Ikta’s shoulder, healing her for 18hp. He then seems to freeze for two actions, as he pulls from his familiar and heritage to quickly recharge his focus points.

entering the new room….

Drogo activates his wayfinder to shed light around himself, then on a whim casts light on a nearby stone and tosses it down the hole.

Now realizing his mistake, Drogo meant to cast electric arc on the eel and bunyip.

Electric Arc (DC22): 3d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4, 3) + 4 = 15

Drogo concentrates and sends a mental command at Eel number 3, instructing it that "This Dwarf is poisonous, you must flee before you perish".

Seeing the eels frustration at her positioning, Daphnaie sticks out her tongue to taunt them. Noticing that her acid is diffusing into the water, she turns her attention to a pissed off Bunyip and lashes out with vine strikes.

Slashing Vine 1: 1d20 + 15 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 15 - 2 = 16
Slashing Damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3) + 3 = 8

Slashing Vine 2: 1d20 + 15 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 15 - 4 - 2 = 18
Slashing Damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 6) + 3 = 12

◆◆ Act Together
- Drogo casts Command from his staff, issuing the flee order at eel A3. DC22 will save.
- Daphnaie strikes the Bunyip
◆ Daphnaie strikes the Bunyip again

Enjoying a dip in the crisp water, Daphnaie’s focus continues to drift towards the different sources bioluminescence. Until the eels appear that is.

Drogo, definitely not a fan of this area, would much prefer his feet on dry ground. The sooner we get this over, the sooner that can happen. Remembering the time she played mermaid for a day, he casts an incantation that causes Daphnaie’s neck to grow gills and her legs to morph into a fish tail.

Using her new 25’ swim speed, she positions herself 10’ above Mandowar to blunt an overhead attack. Once positioned, Drogo increases her defenses.

Not sure how I should represent her positioning on the map, any suggestions?

◆ ◆ Evolution Surge - Your eidolon can breathe underwater and gains a swim Speed equal to its land Speed or 30 feet, whichever is less. Alternatively, if your eidolon is normally aquatic, it can breathe air and gains a land Speed equal to its swim Speed or 30 feet, whichever is less. Either way, it gains the amphibious trait.
