Lini and Droogami's page

Yes, thanks much for running, and sorry you and I got off to a rocky start.

In the two rounds of down time the only thing Lini does is call back Droogami praise him as a "good boy". When the "dogs" appear she does not hesitate to send the cat in stating the mantra Cats rule and dogs drool.

Being totally out of higher level spells Lini will use a scroll of Barksin on Droogami before sending him in to fight.

Bite, magic fang:: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 131d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Trip?: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 1 = 13

That is some sad dice rolling. :(

My core character is 3387-15 - Stormy Weathers

I thought of that too! Droogami could be big at level 7 but the level 7 Lini has chosen to keep him medium and increase his stats instead of making him big.

Back and jumping in. Looks like I was skipped but not botted so gonna go ahead and take my turn. Also I have not heard "smite" one time yet.

Lili retrieves the potion of Blur and feeds it to Droogami in the moment between combats. When the devils appear she casts Magic Fang on Droogamia and sends the cat charging in to fight.

Bite: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 191d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Trip?: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 = 12

I'll be at a small con Friday-Sunday and will have little time to post. Please bot me if needed.

Both Lini and Droogami full attack.

Not sure we get an aoo if she is invisible...

Is the assassin also tripped?

Tripping. Tried to correct but system went down. Sorry. I think I was wishing he had grab. :)

Lini in eagle form is still not a serious melee threat but she does her best.

At the start of Lini's turn has the assassin vanished yet? I am thinking not.

With a shrill whistle from Lini Droogami pounces forth and attacks the disappearing assassin, perhaps drawing an attack from a mook.

Acrobatics to avoid AOO: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Bite: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 2 + 2 = 211d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Trip: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Lini moves to flank with her cat and full attacks

Bite: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 241d4 ⇒ 3
Claw: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 2 = 191d4 ⇒ 4
Claw: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 181d4 ⇒ 4

Droogami full attacks yellow. If yellow drops he will 5' step and attack purple with the rest of his attacks.

Bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 291d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 241d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 291d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Confirm Bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 221d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Confirm Claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 131d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Lini swoops down and tries to disrupt whatever the assassin is casting.

Bite: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 = 251d4 ⇒ 2

Droogami charges in going for one of the 5 but cannot connect.

Bite: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 = 141d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Trip: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Lini flies overhead ready to dive if someone tries to cast spell.

Perception for Lini: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Not sure you can ready a charge can you?

Lini flies overhead keeping up with and watching the enemy while Drogami tries to sprint forwward forward. When he manages to catch up with the enemy she moves to support him.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 4 = 21

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 4 = 28

Both double move. I think Droogami catches up. Note that Droogami can sprint once an hour and actually move 500 when making a charge, so perhaps he can charge an enemy?

Excerpt from the Chase Rules wrote:

... Using the base assumption of 30-foot cards, it takes a move action to move through a single card. When a character exits from a card, he must choose one of that card’s two obstacles to face as a standard action before moving to the next card. Success means the character moves to the next card, while failure means the character must face the obstacle again on the next round. Instead of exiting a card, a character can choose to take another action not directly related to navigating the chase’s course, such as casting a spell or drawing a weapon.

A character who wants to attempt to move three cards during his turn can do so by taking a full-round action. That character must overcome both obstacles on the card he is leaving. In this case, if a character fails either obstacle check by 5 or less, he only moves one card forward and his turn ends. If a character fails either obstacle check by more than 5, he cannot move at all that turn. A character unfortunate enough to fail two obstacle checks in a turn becomes mired in his current square (he might have fallen from a ledge, gotten a foot stuck amid roots, or got caught in a crowd, for example). A character who is mired must spend another full-round action becoming unmired and effectively loses his next turn in the chase. In some cases, becoming mired might impart additional penalties (such as falling damage).

A character can also choose to make a ranged attack or cast a spell during his turn in a chase. If the action is a full-round action, he can’t move at all. Use the number of cards and their established distances to determine ranges as necessary. The terrain where the chase takes place might provide the target partial or even full cover or concealment, as you wish. A character can only choose to make melee attacks against targets that are on the same card.

This is what I was saying. It seems to me that Lannior tried to use one challenge from the current card and one from the next card. Rule is to move forward 3 you must overcome both from current card. So, Should Lini end the chase with flight? She has poor AC of 15 and somewhat poor offense offenese.

The question is: If you are trying both obstacles, must you choose both that are on the current card (what I believe) or can you choose one for the current card and one from the next card (what Apollyanna states is the case and what Lannior has tried to do. Need to know this before Lini can choose to end the chase solo and confront the enemy alone.:)

Was thinking you have to try both challenges from the block you are at and not one from each. No?

Lini will shape shift to an eagle and try to sense her way though the crowd. She sics Droogami on the man. Any advantage for flight?

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

CMD: 1d20 + 26 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 26 + 4 = 34

Lini moves closer and throws fire again while siccing Droogami on the fleeing enemy.

Not totally which of the three still on the map are up. Droogami has moved a single move to where he is on the map, buy may have provoked from Red, if Red it up and not blind. Lini throws at a non grappled enemy that is still up and preferably blind.

Produce Flame, range touch, vs blind?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 231d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 211d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Trip: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Lini pulls her wand of Produce Flame and throws fire at one of the non-leaders.

Range Touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 161d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Meanwhile Droogami full attacks the prone leader.

bite: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 4 = 251d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Claw: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 4 = 231d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Claw: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 4 = 161d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Lini casts magic fang on Droogami and sics him on the closest enemy he can charge.

Bite: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 2 = 261d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Trip: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Cam someone move Lini 5’ closer and charge Droogami over to an enemy. Can move tokens on my phone.

Reflex Lini: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Reflex Droogami: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Traveling until Tuesday. Actually lost my laptop in airport security and am tying to keep up with games on my phone. Hard to do. Bot me I’f needed.

Droogami growls, closing on the rat/man and Lini encourages You best answer.

Intimidate Assist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Droogami circles around and bites at orange.

Bite: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 2 = 241d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Trip: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Whike Lini steps back 5' and throws fire at green.

Flame, range touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 151d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Droogami is not attacking for non-lethal damage but will not continue to attack after an opponent drops.

Droogami continues to bite and claw at Yellow but will stop if Yellow goes unconscious. Since he was prone on his turn would he have tried to rise or attack from the ground? Standing provokes but not standing makes him easier to hit...

Bite vs prone enemy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 181d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Claw vs prone enemy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 A whiff
Claw vs prone enemy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 211d3 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Seeing blue not engaged Lini conjures and throws fire at him.

Produce Flame, range touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 221d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Just want to verify that I understand your wrap up of the round. You said "Droogami pounces but his quarry dodges and strikes back!" That means that his 22 to bite missed Yellow? And was Yellow flat footed at the time?

Lini casts Bull's strength on Droogami and sends him to deal with Yellow.

bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 221d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Trip: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Acro to avoid AOO if needed: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Intimidate Assist? Unsure if still needed but you said everybody.: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

I smell a rat! Lini shouts. Open up or else.

Its both a disease and a curse. I'm not sure but am inclined to say no.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

These guys are ready to fight. Lini warns.

Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

And their boss is a were rat! she hisses. That's not natural.

Lini and her pet follow along in the unfamiliar city sure there will be some kind of ambush at each ally way.

Lini in eagle for swoops down and delivers healing to the beast but perhaps it is too late.

Cure Light: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

A 24 bit missed? And what of a Produce flame touch attack of 20? Do I need to format my posts for more easy parsing?

Droogami steps up and full attacks.

bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 241d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Trip: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 91d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 91d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Lini rolls her fire back under the creature and casts Produce Flame, throwing the fire at the creature, hoping to stop its regeneration.

Flaming Sphere: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 6) = 9 DC 15 Reflex to avoid

Produce Flame, Touch Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 201d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

What about Droogami’s bite?

Hoping to distract the hydra Lini conjurs a ball of flame into one of its squares while Droogami, trained to flank moves around and closes on it, biting at the body.

Flaming Sphere: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 6) = 13 DC 15 Reflex to avoid

Bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 181d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

You are right. I had forgotten. Longstrider will go on Droogami. Lini's bond with the cat allows her to cast personal spells on it.

I believe hydras are special that way but do not recall for sure. Until proven otherwise I would worry about every head taking an AOO. Lets hope it does NOT have combat reflexes.

Ok. You will get Barkskin AND Longstrider. I am hoping you are faster than it after that buff. Does the party want the mist or a second cure light? I actually planned for the second cure light, but in theory we had time to discuss tactics before showing up. Also, Prisism, getting some grease out might limit the thing's ability to charge. Mostly thinking out loud here.

Lini can trade her entangle for an obscuring mist spell (or another cure light). When cast its centered on her though and does not move after. She has one cure light memorized and will get her Flaming Sphere on the map quickly. She does have Natural Spell and can cast while in bird form, but she cannot use her wands while shifted.

How many heads does this creature have? And what color is it? I am hoping it does not breath fire...

Lini does not have Knowledge Arcana and I certainly have not looked up the creature so these are just suppositions: the creature is huge so could easily have 15' reach. If so, it can attack us where we cannot reach it with melee weapons. While obvious, it is worse than it may seem because if we wait for it to move and attack us we cannot 5' step and attack like we could if it were only large. So to attack it with a melee weapon we will provoke. And I fear that if we provoke each head will get an AOO.

IF we can create some obscurement we might mitigated this. Does anyone have fog spells?

Anyone stepping up to get the the primary melee designation and the two offered buffs from Lini? The druid enters the arena as a small eagle.

Before the group enters the arena Lini will cast the following spells.

Barksin (+2AC) on Droogama

Barksin (+2AC) and Longstrider on who claims to be our primary melee person.

Magic Fand on Droogama

Guidance on Droogami, herself, and Lannior.

Bull's Strength on Droogama

Owl's Wisdom on herself.

And she will enter the fight in bird form, planning to fly around and maybe distract the hydra but never enter melee with it.

I bet that will stick! :)

As the group turns to leave Lini mentions to Prisim You know, most teams of Pathfinders are blessed to have a single gnome with them. This team has two gnomes. Perhaps we should call ourselves Team Gnome?

Satisfied Lini gives a tentative not. We will be allowed to prepare first? And how big is this arena?
