Gm Razor's Assault on Dragon Keep

Game Master Ravagwen Darksbane

Derp, derp. Chef forgot to change his avatar again.

Okay with selling the unclaimed potions.

Alright so after selling thing and drinking the night away with the dwarfs morning hits with not issues. What will you do now.

So where will we find this orc captain that needs chopping?

"Yeah, reckon his time is due. "

"I would like to claim his possessions for my own." Anhur says almost poetically as he stares into the sunrise.

uhh...what sunrise yous in a mine?

The warm glow of the lava flow?

Good save. Thanks Chef.

So after a morning meal and ale the dwarfs will give the party directions into the metal refinery where the captain is being holed up at. He is pretty much alone as he other guards. He is a real tough one so stock up on recovery stuffs.

Chef is ready!

Anhur will go in on a wand of CLW with Gerold, if he is so inclined.

Just to reiterate this is not mandatory, We built this guy to represent the orc boss that is really hard. His to hit is a +18/+13 so....yeah...go for it if you want

If you're looking for post combat recovery, infernal healing is a better bet. It's also a 1st level wand, but gives you fast healing 1 for ten rounds, so a guaranteed 10 HP back per charge. It is also an allowable spell for most spellcasting classes. It's just not terribly handy in the middle of combat.

Much better for morally flexible types.

A wand of Infernal healing would be better for out of combat healing.

Very well then.

what was the total GP per person that we got for selling all the party loot and potions?

About 2048 gp each from everything

Bring on the combat! Doran just got a new spell level and he's eager to try it out.

The party will make their way to the mine with no issue at all. Before them they see a hulking orc with a great club in hand made out of amazing quality. He sure looks scary.

Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberries!

Init: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Initiative 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Initiative 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Gerold pulls out his mace, and speaks a few short words in prayer.

Casting Shield of Faith. AC is now 21 for 50 rounds.

"T(w)o arms!"
Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Floid draws forth ammunition from the ethereal.

"Well there Mr. orc I reckon it's time for you to see the grass from the other side.

initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Knowledge Local: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24 need to break CR+15, if not I miss the damage bonus on Kirin style.

Init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 Fun times!

orc init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

The orc will turn to the party letting out an angry scream, and start to rage. He will charge up to Anhur.

to hit: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (5) + 22 = 27
damage: 1d10 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23

Yuri can tell that he is a orc like the others but aged furthur and rather squishy as well. He has Dr 2/-. He is scary as well...big bulgy muscles.

Does anyone know if I'm allowed to assume styles before my first turn (in anticipation of combat)?

Chef tumbles behind the orc.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

and goes for the liver!

S.Sword+1,Flank: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 311d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Sneak attack: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 3) = 14
Crit check: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 271d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Not sure if the knowledge check was sufficient for the damage bonus. As for the style issue, I think it doesn't really matter since if you mean crane style, you're hosed if you're flat footed because you can't yet be fighting defensively or in total defense.

Two arrows with rapid shot and deadly aim.

to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 (+6 if I made the check)
to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 miss

I would say you are allowed to since you did see him and would have been prepared for the worst.

Chef gets the orc in the liver and he lets out an angry screech. Yuri making his check also gets the orc really good with his arrow.

Ah! A lightly sauteed liver with onions..Mmm...

Flat-footed really kills me. How about that.
Anhur takes a heavy hit, but quickly responds with his own attacks!
Cestus: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 2 = 23, Damage: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Cestus: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 2 = 29, Damage: 1d4 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Floid jaunts forward in a short range teleport, and takes a shot at the old geezer of a barbarian.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Gerold runs up behind Anhur, and slaps him on the back.

Casting CMW on Anhur.

Healing: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (1, 1) + 5 = 7

Wow Floid you miss big time.

Anhur lands to hefty blows to the orc.

He punches himself in da face!

"My turn!"

Doran takes a deep breath and launches a fireball at the orc- one a dark, polluted shade of green and belching strange gases.

"Dragon Slayer Art: Toxic Sphere of the Fire Dragon!"

Effect words: Wrack, Burning Flash. Intensify Spell. Target word: Burst
DC20 Reflex save to halve 9d4 + 18 ⇒ (2, 4, 1, 4, 2, 3, 3, 1, 3) + 18 = 41 fire damage and negate being Sickened for 6 rounds

reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 The orc is sicken from the fire attack and you notice a ring on his finger absorbs some of the damage from the fire. he lets out a laugh after wards grunting in orc. You fools, you realize that I am in a mine with Fire and Lava. So of course I would have some resistance to fire.

It is a ring of minor fire resistance.

The orc will flip away from the pary after that seems like he is getting ready for something but what?

acrobatics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

If he does not beat your CMD take an AOO

No AoO from me

Chef runs to the side. He obviously is going to launch his super special attack! He uses his quick-runner shirt to make 2 move actions, moving 60 feet so he can get behind the orc. Unfortunately, since there is no map, he can designate the square.

"Not so fast, slick!" Floid says, manifesting Deceleration on him. (augmented to 3 PP, Halves his move speed, will DC 16 negates)

did he move more than 20ft?

-Posted with Wayfinder

He moved 20ft

Anhur follows the Orc and attacks!
cestus: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25, damage: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

"Don't reckon you got a ring of arrow resistance"

to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 miss
to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 damage: 1d8 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22 though I bet this misses as well

Doran's expressions morphs into one of pure panic and fear. "He... he has protection against fire! Great Dragons, I... I never thought this could happen... I... I'm helpless... I... DRAGON SLAYER ART: LIGHTNING SPHERE OF THE FIRE DRAGON, BIATCH!"

A ball of sparkling, crackling red lightning blasts out and into the orc.

Intensified. Effect words: Shock Arc, Burning Flash.
DC20 reflex save to halve 9d4 + 18 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 2, 4, 4, 4, 1, 1) + 18 = 40 lightning damage

Chef, from his new position, charges at the orc and flings a dagger at it's back.

MW dagger,Flank: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 171d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Sneakattack: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 4) = 9

Floid shoots again

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Gerold will quickly move up to Anhur not done healing yet.

CMW: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (5, 3) + 5 = 13

reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Yuri almost hits the orc but he is just a little faster.The orc is able to move but still get clipped by the lightning. He then gets stabbed by chef, doges Floid's arrows. Along with getting punched by Anhur. He is looking real beat up. He will five foot step and using his rage power fling a rock at the monk.

to hit: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
damage: 1d4 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

reflex save of 22 for 1/2 damage
