Edwin; Alinya....

[Edwin Drood]

31 posts? How did I ever (used) to keep up with you guys?!? ;P

"They have a caster that can manage an elemental Ice Storm? Not bad. Now if they just had the brains to go with it,..." Edwin drawls while scanning the ship,...

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
K:Local: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
K:History: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

The Bardic Detective rifles through his mental 'Castle of Memories' trying to find an note about how to stop a boat without resorting to catapults or other siege weapons. But can't remember anything on the spur of the moment.

"MAster Faelaiin! Take out the pilot! Wind is North by North West, Range 60 cubits!" Edwin shouts in rythmic, chanting tones, imparting his uncanny ability to inspire the best performance in others.

Using Inspire Competence +2, Giving the bounty hunter +2 for any skill checks he can make to make his job easier, I don't think it counts for combat rolls, but Perception, or any other useful skill it will help! :)

METH?

[dungeonmaster heathy]

There's no discernible pilot, atm.

[dungeonmaster heathy]

Alinya's up.

Naw,

I could never afford the good stuff. All of my meds are strictly over the counter. ;P

Must have been youthful exuberance. Yeh, that's it,...

[dungeonmaster heathy]

Heh hehh.......

[Lady Alinya Gurov]

Alinya mentally commands her river water servants to rise up into the porthole that the new-comer elf shot into, there to cause such mayhem as they can manage.

For herself she considers the best way to clear the dock of ice and sludge.

Would dispel magic work?

[dungeonmaster heathy]

You could try.....

The water elementals disappear into the porthole.

[Aethorduil Faelaiien]

So you have your round now and then back to us?

[dungeonmaster heathy]

I think it's still Alinya's go.

[dungeonmaster heathy]

At this point if somebody wants to take Alinya's move that's cool.....I'm going to be gone for the next 2 or 4 hours though.

[dungeonmaster heathy]

Make that next 7 hours from now. I gotta go in to work.

"Have fun stormin' the castle!" :)

[dungeonmaster heathy]

Huzzzah!!!!!!!1......

[Aethorduil Faelaiien]

Im the newbie of the group so i wont suggest anything for her... Maybe just hold her action and move on

[dungeonmaster heathy]

Right on.

I just finished 1/2 hour worth of attacking in my other game; I'll get this one underway shortly.

[Lady Alinya Gurov]

Sorry guys. That's pretty much what I'm thinking anyway. Alinya's got a bunch of support and debuff things she can do, but with no clear enemy in sight I'm not sure what will be most helpful.

Alinya shelters behind her companions, and readies a spell of blindness for the enemy mage if she shows her face.

Ready blindness/deafness.

[dungeonmaster heathy]

Firstly,.....there's quite a rowe in the back cabin of the boat.

Those elementals are fighting for their lives at least.

Then,

a big half orc emerges on top of the cabin.
He pops an arrow at Aethor.

It's not a good roll. It thunks into a large pillar of wood next to the elven slayer.

"That's just a warning," the half orc says, nocking another black shafted arrow.

Finally,

N'kai and Aethor make a dc 19 wil save. If you fail, every round roll a percentile die;

01-25 Acts normally
26-50 Does nothing but babble incoherently
51-75 Deals 1d8 points of damage + Str modifier to self with item in hand
76-100 Attacks nearest creature (for this purpose, a familiar counts as part of the subject's self)

Also, the ship moves 5 feet further from the dock.

Group's turn!!!

She sees the porthole darken up momentarily.

[Aethorduil Faelaiien]

Will 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

1d100 ⇒ 19

[dungeonmaster heathy]

aethor doesn't save.

[Aethorduil Faelaiien]

Aethorduil feels... Muddle headed but is able to focus his thoughts through it enough to say, They hit me with something... Not sure what.

Action to follow

[dungeonmaster heathy]

From within the cabin you hear multiple grunting voices shouting a chant:

It goes like this:

"MAKE ME A WEREWOLF! MAKE ME A MAN-EATER!
MAKE ME A WEREWOLF! MAKE ME A WOMAN-EATER!
MAKE ME A WEREWOLF! MAKE ME A CHILD-EATER!
I YEARN TO DRINK BLOOD UNDER A HUNTER'S MOON!!!"

[Heathansson]

That's cool!!!

[Aethorduil Faelaiien]

Still can't see a caster?

[dungeonmaster heathy]

The porthole darkened when the spell was cast on ye....I guess with your elven nightvision or whatever you can kinda make out somebody there.

[dungeonmaster heathy]

here goes Aethor...

[Aethorduil Faelaiien]

I got a 19 on my d100 so should be able act normally... I count 6 squares to the porthole square... Just within PBS. Move to u14

Stay outta my mind you bastard - eat this!

He looses two arrows in rapid succession.

1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 = 12
1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8

1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 1 = 19
1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9

[dungeonmaster heathy]

Arrow 1 misses, but arrow two finds meat.

He shrieks in anger and pain.

[dungeonmaster heathy]

"Why the hell are you attacking my ship! I don't even know who the hell you people are!!! AAAAAH!!! You're gonna pay for that, you pointy eared treehugger!!!"

[dungeonmaster heathy]

I gotta crash.....tomorrow looks like it might be kinda busy....

[Aethorduil Faelaiien]

Hoping the rest of the party get over... Otherwise poor old N'kai is in the crap

[Leik Fire]

swim: 1d20 ⇒ 13
swim: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Leik swims towards the boat, should be able to get a hold of rigging along the side with that. Next round will try to climb up.

[N´Kai Sureblade]

Will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 and make that a 26 if it´s an Enchantment effect. Don´t count me out just yet... ;D

Can I see the arrow-toting pilot from where I´m standing?? Is there a way up to the castle of the ship?
Action to follow asap.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

[dungeonmaster heathy]

N'kai is unaffected by the ensorcelment.

He can see the half orc on the cabin's top, but he can see no evident ladder or stair up to the top of the cabin.

[dungeonmaster heathy]

Leik paddles to the side of the ship; it sits pretty low, so he should be able to scrabble up onto the deck next round.

[Edwin Drood]

I don't know if this will actually work, but it was fun when I thought of it, so here goes! :)

Edwin's head snaps around so swiftly you can hear the 'crack'. He peers at the dark port of the rear cabin with intensity bordering on fury.

"Like Hades you do." He snarls calmly. Deceptively calmly.

Ed then begins sing-song chanting in a loud, clear voice.

Performance: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

"Chip the glasses and crack the plates!
Blunt the knives and bend the forks!
That's what every Halfing hates--
Smash the bottles and burn the corks!

Cut the cloth and tread on the fat!
Pour the milk on the pantry floor!
Leave the bones on the bedroom mat!
Splash the wine on every door!

Dump the crocks in a boiling bowl;
Pound them up with a thumping pole;
And when you've finished, if any are whole,
Send them down the hall to roll!

That's what every Halfling hates!
So, carefully! carefully with the plates!"

"If THAT doesn't throw them off their ' Me wolf, me eat' chant, nothing will!" Ed says smugly.

I'm tired. That was my currently best attempt to use Countersong. :P

[dungeonmaster heathy]

Edwin counters their vaporing, and brings a little lift to everybody's spirits.

is there any bonus/ability you have?

[dungeonmaster heathy]

Meh. Everybody has a +3 to one roll of their choice. To hit, damage, skill roll, whatever.

[dungeonmaster heathy]

I gotta bail for at least an hour.

[Edwin Drood]

I have to re-read it, but I thought bard's Countersong ability (one use of bardic Song for the day) was sort of like 'Counterspell' but for abilities with sonic effects? Either way, Detective trades the combat song bonuses for the OUT of combat bonuses. ;P Although they might get +2 to a skill check of their choice (another ability I do have)

[dungeonmaster heathy]

I'll let my gift ride.

[Aethorduil Faelaiien]

Sadly a +3 to my save is only 18 and not 19... could I take that + to the arrow going through the porthole earlier or does the song happen later? Hoping for that dispel magic but that said, there is very little for anyone to go off to justify the spell being cast - can I take the + 3 as a bonus the d100 roll? Moving the 'act as normal' range to 1-28 if he maintains the song?

Rolling for next round so that the GM can take me over if need be...

1d100 ⇒ 13

Wooot! or rather Huzzah - I am confusion free for next round too

[N´Kai Sureblade]

N´Kai feels his thoughts begin to cloud for a second, but finally pushes the magical influence aside. After that, he decides to protect himself with some magic of his own.

Mirror Image on himself

Images: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

He then proceeds to climb to the top of the cabin, looking for the helm of the ship to stop it from further moving away from the docks.

Climb: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

That should be enough to climb and get at least to I16.
Swift action to enhance the Scimitar to +3.

"So you like shooting people" he tauts the half-orc. "Let´s see if you like to be on the receiving end..."

Happened later I reckon.

I'm guessing you meant Y16; correct me if I'm wrong.

Got "Y" and "I" messed up. You are right.
