Damage: 1d6 + 17 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 17 + 10 = 30

Always with the negative levels.

Sven retaliates on the wounded witch.

Eager to end one of the threats, Sven strikes down the crone with all of his might.

Feeling stronger with Lana's blessing, Sven rushes forward to flank the nearest crone with Kalt.

Primary: 1d20 + 28 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 28 - 5 = 37
Damage: 1d6 + 17 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 17 + 10 = 28

LoH: 8d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 4, 5, 6, 3, 6, 5) = 35

Sven is down 152 hp at this point. That's a bit below half.

Yeah. The word of resolve would be a swift on Sven's turn. Unfortunately that means I cannot smite this turn.

Reflex: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34

Sven blocks the bulk of the cold with his shield. Before charging into battle, he allows his righteousness to fill him up.

Divine power.

If Kalt is panicked, Sven will speak a word of resolve giving him a reroll at +4.

Sven grimaces, once again confronted by the nature of their quest. "We've come too far to have second thoughts now. What else is needed from us to restore Baba Yaga and end this ritual?"

Stoically, Sven grips the strange doll. "Let's get back to the hut. I've seen enough of this place. It's going to get days to get the stink of it out of my beard."

Will: 1d20 + 24 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 24 - 4 = 29

Sven continues his mighty smashing.

Kalt should help out. It's going to take forever if Sven has to do this by himself.

Sven stows his shield and gets to smashing.

Reflex: 1d20 + 19 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 19 - 4 = 25

Is it smiteable?

Sure. Sven will get started and see what happens.

How many negative levels does Kalt have? I suspect Sven should tank it.

Reflex: 1d20 + 19 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 19 - 4 = 35

Sven sidesteps the gout of acid and then chases after his opponent to keep him from imploding anymore of his friends.

LoH: 9d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 5, 1, 3, 2, 3, 5) = 29

Sven discards the useless overly complicated weapon and marches through the air in pursuit of the would-be deity. "Hmmph. I'm not impressed. You're a puny god."

Attack (stance, neg levels, smite): 1d20 + 28 + 2 - 4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 28 + 2 - 4 + 5 = 34

Cold/Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Reflex: 1d20 + 19 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 19 - 4 + 2 = 23

Despite being splashed by the foul caustic eruption, Sven levels his exotic weapon and fires a shot at the mad monk.

Bang!: 1d20 + 17 - 4 - 4 + 2 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 17 - 4 - 4 + 2 + 5 = 29
Damage: 1d10 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

LoH: 9d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 1, 5, 2, 4, 4, 4, 5) = 32

Sven's life link will tick this round.

Sven starts the complicated process of reloading the exotic weapon. "How did they do this so fast?!"

I don't suppose the rifle is already loaded?

Relieved of the poorly timed ecstasy, Sven focuses on the fight once again. He quickly sheathes rimeblade and picks up the weapon from one of the fallen soldiers.

Paladin with a gun!

Will: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (20) + 24 = 44

Sven shudders under the sensation.

Will: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (7) + 24 = 31

Shrugging off the witch's magic, Sven turns his attention to the next undead.

Cold/Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Heedless of the ray of dark magic that struck him, Tanith hacks and slashes at the undead shooters. Eager to bring the demon down, he unleashes his righteous wrath.

Smiting whichever one is fresh.

Trusting Kalt and Shanya to deal with the demon, Sven and Rimeblade move on the undead marksman.

Move action to move. Swift to heal and remove fatigue. Free action to enter defensive stance again. Standard to attack.

LoH: 8d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 1, 4, 6, 5, 5, 6) = 30

Cold/Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

In sync with his blood-brother's movements, Sven steps into the flank and goes to work against his noble ursine opponent. As he strikes, he subtly changes his stance to make the most of Rimeblade's razor-sharp edge.

Using a swift to get improved crit with weapon master.

I feel like being on fire is a secondary concern to being dead.

Reflex: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29

If we knew we were going into a fight it's probably safe to assume Lana put up her usual shield others. Where does half damage put you?

Yeah, well, that's dumb.

Will: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Don't forget you get a +4 bonus to will saves against fear if you're within 10 feet of Sven.

Sven focuses on Rimeblade, charging it with a mote of divine power. A second later his mighty plate armor gets a similar treatment.

"Avora, do what you can to keep that demon from working her magic. Kalt, help me bring this beast down. Baba Yaga's grandson(?) will have to wait his sodding turn."

Using a swift to activate crusading armor. Using a standard to cast bless weapon. Move action to move up to the well-dressed bear.

The rest of your character sheet hasn't been updated either.

It says you only have 5th level spells...

Your header and your profile still say 'Oracle 11'.

Fibber!

I've done the impossible and finished leveling/gearing Sven.

I'm going to help Lana with her leveling next.

It seems like a shame to just end the campaign abruptly when we have 4-5 players around still.

Would it be possible to wrap up the story in short order? Perhaps by skipping to the last act of the last book?

After sharing a knowing glance with Kalt, Sven breathes a sigh of relief. "I'm glad to hear some real good came from getting involved in this war. Try to make the peace that comes last."

Satisfied that the party was done with the strange world, Sven leads his friends back to Baba Yaga's hut with their prize in hand.

I'll take a deleveled chronicle please.

10774-25

Can we check in with the general and make sure this whole silly war is done with?

"Well struck!" Sven says with a sigh of relief as Avora's spear finishes the deadly dragon lord off for good.

Despite the blood dripping from the seams in his armor, the big man moves with his usual powerful grace thanks to Lana's bolstering aura. He checks Yrax once more for good measure before joining the others in searching the dragon's hoard.

Sven's HP is up to date.

Managing to fend off the dragon's assault long enough to catch his breath, Sven goes on the offensive.

Smite: 1d20 + 18 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 18 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 = 30

Damage: 1d6 + 8 + 2 + 2 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 2 + 2 + 7 = 25

Add 7 damage to the first attack that hits.

LoH: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 2) = 10

Torn and bloody from the dragon's attack, Sven wills himself to stay in the fight even if only to draw the beast's wrath long enough for Kalt to slay it.

LoH Swift: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3) = 7
LoH Standard: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 2) = 13

Didn't you get shield other'd?

Shanya?

Everyone! What are you, a bar?

Yes! It's in my name. Can't you read?!

Sven - now that you know you can bar walk up to the dragon, you gonna change your plan for this round? Maybe head on up there with Kalt and we'll go mano-a-claw with the thing?

Sounds like a plan.

Trusting Lana to tend to Avora, Sven moves away from the pair and begins marching on the open air as if it were steep hillock between himself and his opponent.

As he gains altitude he bangs on his shield, daring the dragon to attack him.

Not sure how high the dragon is. Depending on how close Sven can get with a single move I might use the swift to smite instead of LoH.

Who has air walk?

Trusting Lana to tend to Avora, Sven moves away from the pair.

Hoping to attract the dragon's attention, he roars and bangs on his shield.

LoH: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 1) = 7

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Sven manages to raise his shield in time to divert the bulk of the dragon's flames. Seeing that some of his companions were not so fortunate sends the big ulfen into a rage. He breaks from his stance to cover Avora's burned fallen form.

LoH: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 2) = 7

Not a lot I can do here. Get him Kalt!

Did Avora have a hero point left? Now seems like a good time to burn one...

AoO: 1d20 + 18 - 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 18 - 2 + 2 + 2 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 2 + 2 = 17

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Sven manages to get his shield up in time to block the enormous gust of icy breath. Finding the beast outside his reach, the big man focuses on directing his comrades.

"Kalt, bring that thing down! Avora, clips its wings with your magic!"

Inspiring Command on you two. +2 Attack AC, CMD, skill checks for the turn.

Taking the movement speed this turn.

The dragon's roar rattles Sven's armor but not his resolve. After answering the beast with a roar of his own, the big ulfen marches forward to join Kalt in battling Yrax.

Attack (stance, bulls): 1d20 + 18 - 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 18 - 2 + 2 + 2 = 28
Damage: 1d6 + 8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 2 + 2 = 16

Sven gives the alien woman a nod of gratitude for honoring her part of the agreement. "You might want to make yourself scarce. This is going to get bloody and there's no reason for you to die with your master."

***

Feeling his muscles surge with bestial might under Avora's magics, Sven bangs his weapon on his shield before leading the way into the antechamber. "Yrax! Show yourself! Your war is over."
