Ghroth's page

Ghroth moves on to one of the demons harassing Kira. The eidolon slams it in the side of the head with his fist before lashing out with a vicious black taloned foot to the chest. When the claw sticks Ghroth leaps off the ground with the other foot stomps downward shredding through demon flesh on his descent.

Ghroth issues a gurgling roar and tears into the nearest demon with an open clawed haymaker.

Slam, Bull's Strength, PA, bonus d12: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 1 + 1d12 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 - 1 + (6) = 30

Forgot about flank. The claw is 21 rather than 19 if it makes a difference.

Ghroth goes all in snapping and slashing at the insectoid cultist.

Slam, Bull's Strength: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 = 12

Ghroth bolts into the room and throws a bone spur studded fist at the mutation's head as he passes her.

Move to AC22. Provokes an AoO.
Slam, Bull's Strength, PA: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 - 1 = 10

Ghroth's action will depend on the rest of the round before him.
If there is a path to move into melee range, he will do that while using acrobatics once he is threatened and eat an AoO immediately.
Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
If there is no way for him to move forward without ending on an occupied square, he will delay.

The amphibian nightmare tears into the tangled tiefling with tooth and claw.

Slam, PA, Bless: 1d20 + 6 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 - 1 + 1 = 16 Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

The AoO missed. 22 hit, but 20 doesn't confirm.
5 damage.

Ghroth leaps upward to grab a rafter and digs in with his claws. One hand after the other he swings above the fray and drops down between the tieflings and peryton. The eidolon lashes out at the peryton as he lands, but more as a feint than anything serious.

Acrobatics to avoid AoO, Move to AK9: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Slam: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Ghroth issues a gurgling roar and slashes at the demon with both claws and follows up with a tentacle lash, but with little effect.

Claw 1, PA, bless: 1d20 + 6 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 1 + 1 = 8

Slam, PA, bless: 1d20 + 6 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 - 1 + 1 = 11

Ghroth rounds the corner and leaps at the monstrous fly above like a frog trying to spear it with his tongue.

Ghroth moves to AN8 and attacks fly 1. If it dies switch to fly 2.

Slam, PA, Bless: 1d20 + 6 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 - 1 + 1 = 26

If a 14 somehow hits for a 2nd crit:
Additional damage if 2nd crit:: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6

Kaygan is unlikely to conflict so...

Ghroth rounds the stairs in a low crouch, frill raised and challenging the room with a low gurgling hiss. The eidolon's tentacle lashes out and latches onto the schir's midsection with needle-like fangs reeling it in just enough for Ghroth to rake one claw across the demon's face before releasing it and spitting its own blood back at it.

5' to AN7
Claw 1, PA, Bless, good aligned: 1d20 + 6 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 - 1 + 1 = 23 Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9

Kaygan and Sol are up.

Ghroth drops from his perch and lopes around to rush the stairs.

I don't think Ghroth can do anything but move this round, but I'm not 100% sure how far he can get. Stairs are double move right? So N7. If that is the same square Booam is in, I'll stop behind him.

Short on time so I'll leave Rhok and Wendaug for someone else, and post as Hannik tomorrow. If no one gets to it I'll post them all tomorrow.

Ghroth lopes over to the side backing up and breaks into a run that ends with a flying leap at the banister, gripping it like some kind of demonic tree frog and spears his barbed tongue through the bars at the last tiefling.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 Backs up to the side and then runs to N8. Grips on the bannister 4' off of ground level
Slam, PA: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 - 1 = 18
Damage, PA: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9

Ghroth is in M9. Not marked on the map. With his 10' reach is that an AoO as well? Just in case and to save time:

Slam + Diviner's Grace: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 = 21 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Kaygan reaches out to bolster Hannik's monstrous warbeast and Ghroth charges in and the tentacle darts out of his mouth snaking between allies before whipping back into his mouth without making contact. The elemental beast roars in frustration.

Kaygan: 5' to P8. Diviner's fortune on Ghroth. (+1 on nearly all d20 rolls for 1 round) [4/6 uses remaining]

Ghroth: 20' to M9 Slam: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12

Ghroth slashes and batters the tiefling with claw and tentacle while Rhok steps in from behind and takes a swing. Hannik can't risk taking a shot into the clump of allies scrabbling around the tiefling so she opens a conduit to Ghroth's home plane to siphon some power to him.

Claw 1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Claw 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Slam: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Rhok's Heavy Mace: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Rhok moves in to L5

Hannik moves to O6 and casts Guidance on Ghroth.

Ghroth tears through the doorway splattered with gore and charges the alchemist with an alien chittering hiss. His tentacle snakes out, snapping at the tiefling, testing it for now.

Move to N5
Slam: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Ghroth darts through the door and lifts the cultist off the ground slamming him against the wall with a crack. While he struggles there the tentacle snakes its way out of his maw and plunges directly at the cultist's own mouth.

5' to P 10
Claw 1, PA: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 - 1 = 24 Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

Damn. When he lays it down, Ghroth is a beast. Probably 35 points of damage there vs the cultist.

Ghroth lunges out of a crouch with fangs spread wide and a second set of needle-like fangs ready just beyond those.

Slam, PA, partial cover: 1d20 + 6 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 6 - 1 - 2 = 22

Map

Sol

Ghroth drops low and charges in. The eidolon veers off and then comes in around Mulluq while baring a fanged maw with a gurgling hiss. Once within range it advances slowly and warily on the demon spawn.

Double move, looping around Mulluq to avoid AoO and flank with Rhok in L15
Kaygan

The amphibian eidolon is tense and ready for action, but holds at Hannik's insistence.

Ghroth delays

Sol

Ghroth drops down and bounds forward toward the demon like a beast, but stops short and spears it with his toothy slime coated tentacle. Hooked teeth scrabble at the demon hide without managing to penetrate its cursed flesh.

Hannik has moved to P12 at the beginning of the round.
Ghroth moves to N10

Slam, PA: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 6 - 1 = 12

Something bad

Ghroth continues scratching at the demon's hide and continues to work his way around behind it. By the time the demon way ready to write off the monster flailing away at it, the elemental managed to rip into it from behind with his claws.

Ghroth 5'steps to S13 to flank with Mulluq

Ghroth harries the demon with claw and fang while carefully edging around in an attempt to flank it. Across the room Hannik was waiting for that clear shot and fires her crossbow into the fray.

Ghroth 5' to T12

Jod

Ghroth pivots and rocks the wooden and metal doors with a solid kick. Meanwhile Hannik traces out the same rune but draws on its power herself this time.

Strength: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Don't know that's gonna do anything unless they were already open, but I tried :)
Hannik: Guidance on herself

Jod

Ghroth lopes along with Mulluq with Hannik trailing behind.

Will + Resistance: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9
Rounds nauseated: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Ghroth is in Z9. Forgot to list an end point for him on the last move.

Ghroth rushes forward, eyes blazing, bowling low to deliver an uppercut with an open handed claw.

I must have clicked over here when more than half asleep, removed the new post tag and still not realized it was my turn.
Kaygan

Ghroth's toothy tentacle snakes out over the table and slithers around the nearest bandit throat. He rears back straining against the bandit as the tentacle tightens, but it is difficult to get a solid grip.

CMD Reposition: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Was going to try to throw him out from behind the barricade just for fun, but not with a 6.

B1

Ghroth drops low to all fours and tears into the shop with claws clacking on the floor. The amphibian terror slams into the table at full force, rocking it back against the defenders but it holds. Ghroth rises up with a full throated gurgling roar and claws extended as he towers over the table and defenders.

Strength check to break the table: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Nope. I was hoping for 'simple wooden door' DC of 13
EDIT: I realized a little late that I didn't have enough movement to make it to either table and still take an action. Technically he could do it at reach with his tentacle/tongue, but it is a little ridiculous and fails in any case. I'll leave the post as is, but rules-wise he just double moved.
Move 35' to R14

HPs + con + favored class: 1d10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5
So 7 I believe.

Ghroth lashes out with claws and eel-tongue, but the giant barb hanging from his head seems to be throwing him off as you might imagine.

Claws: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 - 2 = 7
Claws: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 - 2 = 12

Well Damn.

Rhok

That last hit would have banished Ghroth. Rather than that I'll use life link to move all of that damage to Hannik. She is now at 7/18

The howler effectively rips Ghroth's throat open, but as it jerks away his slimy skin begins writhing and pulling itself back together. Behind him Hannik screams and her hand jerks up to her throat.

Undeterred Ghroth continues burrowing into the howler from below and rushes it on all fours. The spines along his neck stand up fully rigid as the eidolon gets under its belly and rips upward in an attempt to flip it over.

Claw, PA: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 - 1 = 8 Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

Reflex DC 14. Resistance: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8 Fail. Ghroth is sickened.

Ghroth Quill Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Reflex + Resistance: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 + 1 = 17

Ghroth leaps forward on all fours and his fanged jaw drops open allowing the eel-like tentacle to thrust out from under the howler. Teeth latch in and begin burrowing from below.

Tongue Slam, Charge: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 2 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Charge to E21

Ghroth turns and challenges the other howler with a gurgling roar before bounding down the street to get between Hannik and the beast.

Double move to D19

Ghroth darts off veering to the left.

Double move to E7

Kira

The webbed spines along Ghroth's back stand up in response to the howls. He twists his head this way and that listening then croaks, "Wasting time. Go. They come, I kill them. Simple."
