Rennik's illusion has no effect on the enraged golem.

The golem reaches out to attack arbalest 2.
attack 1 vs ac, 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35, damage = 2d10 + 6 ⇒ (7, 4) + 6 = 17
attack 2 vs ac, 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31, damage = 2d10 + 6 ⇒ (5, 2) + 6 = 13

The golem picks up the arbalest and throws it through the wall reducing it to kindling. Sparks from the dying arbalest set the splintered wood alight filling the room with smoke.

Flint is up.

"Maybe we should let the golem finish them off," Rennik remarks snidely.

"That's a fine plan. If the golem doesn't, the tower may do it. Speaking of which, does this building look safe to you? Our record with towers isn't great."


Bump for Flint.

Flint darts over to Mage 2 and bloodies him with a deep slash of a dagger.

Mage 2 steps looking like a cornered rabbit ties to get away from the furry terror & the rightous paladin. Mage 2 screams out "Vol take you." and throws a glass vial on the floor. A black cloud billows up blinding everyone around him.
Flint, attack vs fortitude, 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14, damage = blinded while in any square adjacent to I16.
Ragna, attack vs fortitude, 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13, damage = blinded while in any square adjacent to I16.
The black cloud dosn't fool either Flint or Ragna and both get OA's as the mage tries to run.

The fire caused by the golem begins to spread and sounds of a skyship battle can now be heard from outside as well.

male human Resourceful Warlord/Commando Captain 13

Bloodied (just).

Malick concentrates on the golem, trying to drop the construct before it can totally destroy the tower. His halberd snicks ineffectually at its legs and he takes a moment to restore himself, swearing under his breath in draconic.

Shift one square to I11.

Malick barley misses the golem as he catches his second wind.

Damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 damage. Range 10, target 1 creature.


Typhus blasts the last mage burning him with it's power.

Between the rampaging golem, the ever increasing size of the fire and the sound of the tower collapsing around him drives the fight from him and replaces it with panic. The mage drops to his knees and starts begging.

"I give up, I give up, please don't kill me I have a family. I want to live. I don't really worship Vol. I only joined the blood cult to get promoted. Please let me leave, I don't want to die."

Flint's player has not posted anywhere since 3/7. Not sure what's going on there.

Also, we lost Ferdinand to RL issues.


Male Razrclaw Shifter / Dhampyr (Half Vampire) Trickster Rogue / 12 (Shadow Assassin Paragon Path)

Xabulba and all, RL has been crazy. My wife has gone into false labor a few times the past few weeks. I'm posting from the delivery room. This time it's the real thing. I'm going to be too busy to keep up and that's not fair to everyone else. I'm also starting a new job next week. I'd like to thank Xabulba and the rest of the party for the great PBP action. It's been a year and a half with the Odd-Job crew. Good luck finding Blondie. Feel free to deal with Flint as you see fit. Thanks again, Bmars3

Congratulations, and good luck with everything!


Congrats to your you bmars3, best wishes for your new one.

Everyone head over to the discussion thread. OCC thread

Congratulations! That's wonderful news for you and your wife. The very best of good wishes to you and your family.


Back to the Game.

Flint lands another devastating blow on the angered golem. The golem even after all the damage done to it still looks sturdier than most brick homes.

Just as soon a Flint strikes a loud crash is heard and felt as the back end of a skyship plows through the towers wall. Any doubts about if the tower is coming down are dispelled as whole sections of the floors above come crashing through the roof.

The skyships crew throw 2 rope ladders over the rail and yell for Oddjob to climb aboard while they still can.

You need to make at least 2 athletics or acrobatics rolls avoid the falling debris and get aboard the skyship. Each failure will result in 2d10+10 damage from being hit by a large piece of falling debris.

Male Gnome Illusionist Wizard 13

Rennik probably can't survive that. He's on 20 HP and has +6 Acrobatics and Athletics. Anyone feel like rescuing him?

Alternatively, could he skip all that with a teleportation power?


male human Resourceful Warlord/Commando Captain 13

What's the DC for climbing a rope ladder while carrying a gnome?


Typhus glances skyward and lifts his head to the winds. "The darkness calls, but who answers? Who can avoid the thunder in the night?" He then explodes into a mass of swirling shadows and rises into the night.

Using Shadow Form: Assume a shadowy form for 5 minutes or until end of encounter. In this form, insubstantial, gain fly 6 and can’t take standard actions. Reverting is a minor action. Personal, minor action.


Lay on Hands Rennik healing surge +5 health back
I gain damage reduction until the start of my next turn of 3

Thank you. That helps quite a bit.

1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32 - Athletics 1
1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30 - Athletics 2
Hopefully carrying Rennick. If Rennick can teleport, Malick will give Ragna a hand.

"Ragna - it's up here."


The athletics/acrobatics DC is only 15.

Malick can easily tuck a gnome under his arm and still get aboard.

Typhus in his shadow form can also get aboard with out any difficulty.

Ragna on the other hand has a burning cross beam fall on her as she crosses to the ship. damage = 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (8, 10) + 10 = 28

Ragna needs to make one more athletics/acrobatics check.


1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18


Ragna frees herself from the burning beam and manages to get to the ship while avoiding the rain of fire and wood.

The old adage 'Out of the frying pan and into the fire.' comes to mind as you board the skyship. On the ground dozens of archers and mages are firing at the ship and hovering above and to the port is a warship firing it's main lighting gun at you.

Inguard, the half-orc crewman, helps everyone aboard the Fluttering Petal and as soon as Ragna has hold of the later he yells "They're all aboard Captain." and you are thrown to the deck as the Fluttering Petal rises rapidly. A heavy thrum of power emanates from the elemental ring blasting you with unseen heat and force. Kayeron piles on the speed and maneuvers out from under the warship but not before it can drop half a dozen troops aboard the Fluttering Petal.

Reminders:
The ships name – Fluttering Petal
Captain – Kayeron deLyrandar
Crew - Filirrion & Yaraton, Lyrandar half-elves
Inguard a half-orc
Qarista a gnome

Map and opponents soon. All three games I’m running are starting combat at the same time so I have to make maps and stat up the baddies for all of them. Because this is the highest level game and you’re on a skyship in combat with another skyship it’s taking longer than I wanted.


:
My roommate want's to play in a RPG face to face of PBP and I thought he could join this one. He hasn't played any RPG regularly before so he won't know the system or how an PBP game would work. I think that between all of us we can get him up to speed fairly quickly. I wanted to get your thought before I give the OK.

Sounds fine to me. Coming in at paragon tier can be rough, but if you're helping him, I'm sure it will be fine.


male human Resourceful Warlord/Commando Captain 13

Agreed. I'm happy to help out. Paragon is pretty daunting as a first outing, but we'll manage.

"You have a real way with enemies Kayeron. Thanks for the lift out of there."

Have we had time for a short rest or are we straight in?


You would have time to use a HS before you're back in combat.


Male Gnome Illusionist Wizard 13

Rennik misses his encounter powers ;)


I haven't heard any objections from Typhus or Ragna about bringing in a noob player so I'm assuming it's ok to do so.

@Rennik - I was trying to give an epic feel to this battle so I hope I succeded and that it makes up for you missing your encounter/daily powers. :)


Finally finished with the map and encounter, yay.Map of the Fluttering Petal

Everybody needs to roll initiative please.
You can also spend one healing surge and take one free action before combat is joined.

Daburn is the new member to the group. He is an Valenar Elf swordmage with a lot of cool teleportation tricks. Give him as much help and advice as you can.
