[CORE] GM Dennis - Heroes for Highdelve (CORE)

[Meraina by Eddv]

Meraina weaves some more of her magic for the Ettin I Knew it! A Two Headed Giant! Brie I was right!

She creates a swirling pattern for the Giant Drop that weapon and tell us what you are doing here.

She demands in his hopefully weakened mental state.

DC 17, -2 for being in combat

[GM Dennis]

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

The creature shakes its head, resisting the urge to drop its weapon.

Torgen and Kiliuk may act.

[Torgen the Dwarf Fighter]

Not one to back away from a fight, Torgen steps in front of the creature. 5 ft. step

He then brings all of his weapons to bear.

Melee (battleaxe): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15
Damage (battleaxe): 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Melee (warhammer): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (5) + 0 = 5
Damage (warhammer): 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

However, the dwarf is still reeling a bit from the ettin's initial blow.

[Pregen by Poblano]

Thank you all for understanding with my absence.

My Part of the World:

[/ooc]The Fire in my neck of the woods (Mendocino Complex) is at 344,000 Acres and still growing. Full Containment isn't expected until after the First[/ooc]

Not one to be shown up by a dwarf Kiliuk flys into a rage and rushes in to the Etten swinging his heavy Mace.

heavy mace: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Bldg.: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

[GM Dennis]

Torgen's axe and Kiliuk's mace connect on the ettin at the same time! One of the creature's heads coughs up blood, and it seems to be on its last legs, but it persists in its attack, switching targets to the half-orc that caused it the most distress.

flail: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Initiative!

Brialla

Torgen

?

Kiliuk

Meraina

Whole party may act.

[PbP Submission]

Continuing her circumnavigation of the giant, Bries steps a bit more in a clockwise rotation about the mountainous monster.

To hit longsword: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

She takes a swing - or was that a swing. It's really hard to tell since it came nowhere near the nearly unmissable wall of flesh.

An unladylike word comes out of her mouth.

[Meraina by Eddv]

Meraina decides that the time for Subtelty is over and blasts a forceful butterfly at the Ettin.

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

[Torgen the Dwarf Fighter]

Torgen presses the attack. Though sweat pours down from his brow and blood pours from his fresh wounds, the dwarf seems to enjoy the opportunity to put his training to work and let loose.

Melee (battleaxe): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1
Damage (battleaxe): 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Melee (warhammer): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14
Damage (warhammer): 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

[GM Dennis]

Torgen's hammer smashes into one of the ettin's heads just as Meraina's bolt of force slams into the other! The creature staggers back a step before crumpling to the ground, unconscious!

Wrapped around the fingers of one of the ettin’s filthy hands you find a beautiful, glittering golden pendant in the shape of dragon's head. A more leisurely search of the remaining cavern reveals little more than some soiled rags that served as a sort of bed for the beast, and the broken remains of the chain that until recently confined it.

-----

Having defeated the ettin and recovered the golden pendant, you emerge from the cave to find yourselves face to face with Aurelliax in her true form (picture in the slide deck). She is a magnificent mature adult gold dragon whose presence dwarfs your own. ”Thank you, travelers, for protecting the people of Highdelve, and for recovering my amulet. Truly, you are the heroes these people needed. Let me commend you, as well, for sparing the lives of those miscreants. Please accept these as a token of my appreciation.” She gives each of youa beautiful, glittering statuette of a gold dragon with diamonds for eyes.

”Furthermore, I believe each of you came here in search of information; perhaps I can help.” She turns to Kiliuk first. ”I believe your mother currently resides in Grayhaven, not far from here, where she crafts fine garments. The cargo you seek, Torgen” she says, turning her massive head toward the dwarf, ”did indeed pass through Highdelve. It left here several days ago, however, destined also for Grayhaven.” Looking back to Kiliuk, she adds ”Perhaps your journey together is not yet at an end. As for the two of you,” she says, turning to Brialla and Meraina, ”I have spoken to Carth Garenth. Not only does he have the ring design you seek, but he wishes to make you a new one, free of charge, in thanks for your bravery.”

”Now,” she says, unfurling her magnificent wings. ”would you care to ride on my back as I carry the cart of brightblooms, along with the prisoners, back to Highdelve?”

-----

With the bullies and Feran locked up, the townspeople fete you as heroes, inviting you to hand out brightblooms during the most joyous Brightbloom Ball the town has ever seen—all thanks to your efforts as Heroes for Highdelve!

That’s the end! Feel free to add any RP with the Aurelliax and the townsfolk that you’d like. I’ll get your chronicles up shortly.

[GM Dennis]

Please set up an alias using the BB code for the pregens, linked at the top of the page. You can make a specific alias for this pregen, or use one you already have if you don't want to have one permanently named after your pregen, as long as the name of the character ends up in the tagline (as it is in the copyable BB code above).

Once you've done that, please post an in-character introduction in the Gameplay thread so I know you're ready.

Sorry for the delay, folks. I was traveling yesterday and crashed a little harder than I thought I would when I got home this morning.

[Torgen the Dwarf Fighter]

I am headed to scout camp with my son for the weekend. I will be back posting sometime Monday, US East Coast time. Feel free to bot me until then.

[Pregen by Poblano]

If you happen to be following the news my Home county in California is on fire at this moment and I am in an advisory evacuation location.

Not only this but I am also a County Employee and am being pulled into emergency services and response.

Please Bot me as necessary at this time; I am unsure when I will be able to return. My apologies in advanced and thank you all for understanding.

[GM Dennis]

I'm sorry to hear that! I figured that might be the case. I'll bot you as needed; no worries.

[miteke]

Out of curiosity, is this a replayable scenario for level 1?

[GM Dennis]

Yes, replayable at level 1, play it once at level 2.

[miteke]

Thanks.

[GM Dennis]

Hey folks. I leave for GenCon tonight; I'll try to get another post or two up before I'm completely engulfed, so feel free to post your turn in combat, but then I'll need to hit pause until I come back (Monday). I had initially hoped to have this done before then, but we should still have time to get it done before Gameday.

[Torgen the Dwarf Fighter]

Safe travels!

(And I am not in a big rush to finish. By Game Day is fine with me.)

[Pregen by Poblano]

Hello everyone. Things are starting to calm down a little for me at this time now that they are getting the fire lines under control. For those of you who have seen my little community of Lake County has two fires that have devastated over 90,000 acres and the smoke is measured at more than hazardous.

I appreciate everyone one of you for understanding and am now catching up on my posts as much as I am able to with the limited internet time I have.

I too am not going to GenCon this year.

[GM Dennis]

Sorry for the delay, folks! I'm back and ready to power through to the end.

[GM Dennis]

Lysle, can you post your reporting info for me?

1) Player name (can be your forum name)
2) CORE character name you're applying credit to
3) PFS # - Character #
4) Faction
5) Normal or slow progression

[Torgen the Dwarf Fighter]

If so...

Faction: Scarab Sages

If not...

PFS No.: 90900-5
Faction: Silver Crusade
Progression: Normal

[GM Dennis]

Is it one that started for Gameday today? If so, I'm willing to fudge, since I expect us to be done today. If it's one that's been going for a while, that won't really work.

Thanks all. Look forward to playing with you again soon!
