Rosa Gives Torin the Armor and Tusks for his HH.
"Torin good idea, Viorel if you think that will help ask Nathaniel for what you need and hand out as you see fit. If every one is healed and ready lets head out again, eyes open, swords and spells ready"
Rosa starts heads out once more
Ready to leave
DM Jelani |
Everyone finishes up their business and continues the journey. After a break for lunch and about four more hours of journeying, everyone is exhausted. The sun still blazes in the afternoon sky.
Need four more saves from heat sensitive individuals. Starting at DC 19 and increasing by one each time. Armor gives a -4 penalty. You've been traveling for 8 hours now. Anything more today would be a forced march.

1d100 ⇒ 9
1d100 ⇒ 43
As the group comes to a stop to decide what to do, they are currently in a very arid patch of land. Just as everyone is gathering together to talk, a loud buzzing can be heard coming from above. Looking up, the group sees a large swarm of insects descending upon them.
Rosa 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Viorel 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Barek 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Cinderfang 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Torin 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Nathaniel 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Swarm 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Rosa 4 +/-
Nathaniel 4 +/-
No surprise round this time folks. Barek, your action.
Barek Wound-blooded |
Barak looks up at the swarm with a growl.
Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Need the knowledge to figure them out before the action. Barek will inform the others what he knows immediately.
I so very much hate swarms. Fleeing is very viable.
Barek Wound-blooded |
Barek curses. "A swarm of bloodhaze mosquitoes. Not only will their bites be painful and unpleasant, they carry the sleeping sickness. Our weapons are useless against them but they can be hurt by large effect magic or splash weapons. I have neither. If noone has the same, I suggest we leave. And spread out so it can only feed on one of us at a time," he says, moving away from the group.
Wow. We actually fought these things in a Serpent's Skull tabletop game on monday! Not fun. We beat it, but we needed to go back to base camp to get some healing.
Oh. So Barek will take a move action straight down and ready to take another move action if the swarm comes at him.
DM Jelani |
Made this its own campaign with links in the campaign info tab. Also realized that we need a bigger battlemap, but don't have time to do that until later tonight.
Cinderfang, you know the same things as Barek. Those spells would function normally except where contradicted by *swarm traits*.
Viorel Ariaza |
Viorel is a sad monkey because he wants his fireball. TPO Viorel is angry monkey who facepalms because he could have sworn he had burning hands, need to correct that next level if for no other reason the concept. Also damn I hate swarms.
@DM: Would you allow removal of one of the pouches of adventurer's sash with a dagger and if so with what action? Thinking about use of alchemist's fire if the retreat plan goes bonkers.
Rosa Luminass |
Rosa casts channel vigor and runs from them, speed is now 50' full move 250' 5 rounds
DM Jelani |
Okay, redid the map to be bigger. Tried to put everyone in roughly the same positioning as before.
Round 1
Initiative 14
Barek warns the group about the mosquitoes and then moves south.
Initiative 13
1d2 ⇒ 2
The swarm flies down into Torin's square.
Torin, take 1 Con damage and give me two DC 17 Fort saves.
That brings us to Cinderfang. Don't forget you're under a geas to help one another, if you all just run away and leave Torin to die you probably won't be feeling too well in a day or so.
Cinderfang |
I am posting from my phone so forgive formatting errors.
Round 1
Initiative 10
Cinderfang tells Sun-Eater to follow Burek
Cinderfang changes shape into a giant condor and swoops next to Torin. (fly speed 50ft, large size, Str 24)
I want to be in R21
Next round I will pick you up and carry you away
Viorel Ariaza |
@Nathaniel: Crossblooded means I do not have my fireball yet.
Round 1 init 6
Viorel reaches in to his backpack pulling his hand back now holding a smokestick with all the chaos happening around him, Viorel decides just to get ready to move if the bugs decide to attack him.
Move action-> Get smokestick from handy haversack. And ready action to move if swarm moves to him.
DM Jelani |
Round 1
Initiative 7
Torin panics and runs to the south, dozens of insects cling on to him as he tears them away from the swarm.
Damage to Swarm 1d6 ⇒ 3
1d4 ⇒ 2 Torin take 1 Con damage this turn and the next turn. You can remove the mosquitoes next turn with a full round action DC 18 Reflex save to prevent the damage.
Initiative 6
Viorel retrieves a smokestick from his bag, and gets ready to run.
Initiative 4
Rosa casts a spell on herself and then moves away from the swarm with magical speed.
Nathaniel casts a spell and Nathaniel, Cinderfang and Voirel feel themselves magically sped up.
End of Round 1
---------------------
Begin Round 2
Barek 14
Swarm 13
Cinderfang 10
Torin 7
Viorel 6
Rosa 4 +/-
Nathaniel 4 +/-
Barek, you're up.
Barek Wound-blooded |
Barek turns and moves south-eastwards.
Double move diagonally down and to the left. I don't see the row letters on this computer but it's 60' = 6 diagonal squares to column 27.
Cinderfang |
Round 2
Initiative 10
Cinderfang flies directly south of Torin, swooping close overhead ready to pick him up then pulls an aerial loop de loop dance that ends with his wings cracking to full open position. At that moment a bank of fog cascades out from the swarm, blanketing the area.
Cinderfang moves to AJ22, directly overhead of Torin
Casts Fog Cloud, the upper left corner should be in Q21, covering 4x4 area.
@Nathaniel - You should be able to fly right out of there. I'm not clear if concealment helps you against these guys, but hopefully it will disorient them a bit.
EFFECT
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft. level)
Effect fog spreads in 20-ft. radius
Duration 10 min./level
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no
DESCRIPTION
A bank of fog billows out from the point you designate. The fog obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker can't use sight to locate the target).
A moderate wind (11+ mph) disperses the fog in 4 rounds; a strong wind (21+ mph) disperses the fog in 1 round.
Torin Ironbeard |
Round 2
Initiative 7
Torin dances about trying to remove the biting insects:
Ref Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
but has little success.
Con 16/18
HP:51/58
Nathaniel. |
Fort 11d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Fort 21d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
With a supreme effort of will, Nathaniel just barely avoids managing to go into a slicing raving frenzy with his blade, instead calmly turning away to go after Viorel.
Going towards Viorel, aiming to end up right next to him so I can pick him up with a move action.
Rosa Luminass |
Rosa stops and looks what what has happened,
If it looks like we can run away from it as a group she will tell the others to do so.
If how ever it looks like the swarm will follow, she will move to with in 25' of the swarm and Channel Neg energy on it.
3d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 3) = 9 Fort DC14
DM Jelani |
Round 2
Initiative 10
Cinderfang flies south and casts a spell.
I'm putting the spell in a better position for you, that way it'll actually do something by blinding them.
Initiative 7
Torin took another 1 con, for a total of three. 1 when the swarm first bit you, one on your first turn when you left, and now the third.
The mosquitoes clinging to Torin are now full to bursting with his blood. They detach themselves and fly away.
Initiative 6
Viorel waits, assessing the situation
Initiative 4
Failed both saves so...
The mosquitoes swarm into Nathaniel's eyes, ears, mouth a nose choking him as a living carpet of death attempts to devour his vital fluids.
You're nauseated for this round, which means single move only.
He flees the swarm, heading for Viorel, but dozens of the large insects are already locked onto him, drinking.
1d4 ⇒ 4 Take 1 Con damage this round and at the end of your turn for the next three rounds. Unless you spend a full round action and succeed at a DC 18 reflex save to scrape off the mosquitoes.
Rosa sees that everyone is getting away and moves back a bit more.
This would normally be the end of Round 2. Viorel, would you like to step in?
Rosa Luminass |
Round 3
Init 7
Seeing how it looks like we can run away Rosa will do just that heading 57 and off map 250' a round, then quicken-stride after that. Rosa can keep ahead of them until we lose em.
If not she will summon monsters to keep them accompide wile we get away
"No point fighting the things lets just get away as fast as we can."
Viorel Ariaza |
Round 2 init 3
Viorel activates the smokestick and throws it aiming it on the edge of Cinderfang's spell. "Nathaniel, you alright?"
Made asumption of improvised weapon and range increament of 10 feet of total -6 penalty, modify if needed, normally empty squere has AC 5. Aiming for R26. If hitting the R26 would be the lower left conrner of the 10x10 smoke cloud.
Throw smokestick1d20 ⇒ 7
Nathaniel. |
Nathaniel glumly wipes away the mosquitoes from his eyes and skin and collapses to the ground.
"I REALLY hate insects" he announces to no one in particular. "Anyone know any cures to insect poison?"
GM, just letting you know, my eidolon cannot heal ability damage naturally and so the con damage will persist until I'm able to get a Restoration or similar effect on me.
