Hello?.... Anyone home?
Remsus Kai HP 41/52 AC 15 (Fly, See Inv, Blurr, Spectral Hand) (DM Addison) Thursday August 19th, 2010 2:47:17 PM
I'm back from vacation.
Roll call! Who's still here?
Basically Lucky swims the entire distance very quickly and pops into the next room that is full of air. Speck is being helped by the H2O Mephit. John and Kiri got Dimension doored with Remsus from the air bubble room.

Turn 21 of 40
The five heroes swim/teleport/get dragged through the water into the hallway with air. A thin film of a bubble is all that seems to separate this hallway from the ocean. You can pass through it easily, but you are quite wet on the other side.
You stand in a stone hallway, looking around. You see a few torches along the wall, lighting the way to a room that you cannot see into.
You posses 2 of the 4 pieces of the pie, and only 19 turns left to find and claim the other 2.
Remsus says, "Only one way to go now."
Sir John, AC 26, 49/96, hps, Prot from Evil, Bless Weapon, Bear's Endurance Saturday August 21st, 2010 2:20:38 PM
Water drips from Sir John's armor as he tries his best to remove as much as possible from his face. He looks forward down the highway and tries to "Detect Evil" as best as he can, trying to find any dangers.
"Well, who's going to take point?" he asks with a grunt, drawing his axe and calling up the fire...

Lucky is ready to move forward! He is happy to take the lead. But first he casts a CLW on himself ... rerolling a 1 ... 11 pts sweet.
Then he sees Sir John is especially bad off, and casts a CCW on the paladin over sending. That's 28 hp healing to Sir John.

As you pass into the stone hallway with air, you feel a warm pleasant breeze on your face coming from the area ahead.
You walk for a while and suddenly, the light breaks. It is almost blinding. Remsus grabs his smoked-glass goggles and puts them over his eyes.
There is humongous tree in front of you. The sight is breathtaking, and the sun is shining very brightly. The tree has red and green leaves and vines that pulsate into the earth
Then, you hear a snort, and coming around the tree is a very very large, almost gargantuan minotaur, brandishing a fiery greataxe in each hand. He snorts and flames shoot from his nostrils, his hoofs scratch the ground as if he is preparing to charge.
Spot or Listen DC 20 to notice something amiss....
Also, everyone make a DC 17 Will save... trust me on this one. ;)

Kiri mutters something under her breath, but you can tell it was most likely obscene. She readies her stance, then prepares to cast a spell once she has a clear line of sight.

Will saving throw, using five luck points: 27! A natural 2, but still maybe good enough!?!
Spot and Listen checks: Depends on whether he has many luck points left after that save!
Let's say 2 luck points on each, but don't hold me to it if I failed the save ...

Sir John sees the minotaur come towards him and raises his axe in defense. He's not sure what is going on here, and wonders why it would be so initially hostile (Spot = 13, Listen = 16, Will = 24)

(Yes, you got your healing done)
Round 24 of 40
Your Turn A nasty blue fog surrounds you and your mind begins to freeze, it is hard to focus, but only Speck is affected by the lingering effects.
Kiri - Success on will save
Lucky - Success on will save. You quickly notice that to your left the bushes are shaking violently. You also hear an insect-like clicking coming from it.
John - Success on will save.
Speck -You also notice the bushes shaking violently. Failure on will save. You get a -10 to all future will saves and all wisdom related skills or checks.
Remsus - Success on will and spot.
Remsus, noticing the bushes shake, and not wanting to wait for an invitation, casts Haste on everyone!
Their Turn
Minotaur - He charges forward, screaming a deep roar with steam exiting his nostrils. He stops when he reaches Sir John, bringing one massive fiery Greataxe down upon him. Hit AC 29 for 21 slashing damage and 1 fire damage!
Then, the bushes shake again and what seems to be a dozen small spears fly into the air from the bushes and make a wide arc in the air, landing within the group of heroes. Everyone make a DC 15 Reflex save or be hit by a volley of javelins for 8 damage.
NOTE: EVERYONE IS NOW HASTED: +1AC, Ref save, +1extra attack on full attack.

Kiri manages to contort her body enough to avoid the javelins, though has no idea who launched the volley. Though the fog has no effect on her for the time being, she is not keen to linger in it. She moves to fresh air and then casts a spell in the direction of the bushes hoping to ensnare the attacker.
Move to K4 and cast Black Tentacles. I'm assuming the map is in 5ft scale. If so, I will centre the Black Tentacles on A4 for a 20ft radius spread
Black Tentacles Every creature within the area of the spell must make a grapple check, opposed by the grapple check of the tentacles. Treat the tentacles attacking a particular target as a Large creature with a base attack bonus equal to your caster level (10) and a Strength score of 19. Thus, its grapple check modifier is equal to your caster level +8 (18). The tentacles are immune to all types of damage.
Once the tentacles grapple an opponent, they may make a grapple check each round on your turn to deal 1d6+4 points of bludgeoning damage. The tentacles continue to crush the opponent until the spell ends or the opponent escapes.

"This just keeps getting better and better," Sir John grunts to himself as he only partially ducks the minotaur's viscous blow. The axe manages to find a seam in his armor and he feels its blade cut into his shoulder.
Raising his own fiery axe, he charges forward, swings his axe and yells out a challenge...
Attack = Hits AC 27 for 9 dmg + 2 fire + 3 shocking = 14 dmg
As he attacks, he ducks and weaves, thus avoiding being skewered by the javelins (Reflex 15)

Tumble DC15 d20+13 = 27 success
From K9, Speck points a little finger at the MinoT and tells a rhym: "MinoTee, I'll make you laugh until you Pee"

You hear several high-pitched sequels of pain. Then the tentacles pull two Faerie looking creatures out of the bushes and strangle them in the air. (roll the damage for two of them)
John - Continues the battle with the minotaur and slices a knee cap for 14 damage. He also notices that a blue piece of the pie is on a necklace hanging from the minotaur's neck!
Speck - Has the ingenious idea to cast Tasha's Hideous Laughter. The creature's will save is mid-range, but unfortunately it succeeds in resisting the spell. (save = 18). The minotaur responds, "No, you indeed shall NOT tickle mee till i pee!" with a thunderous voice.
Lucky - heals up Sir John
Remsus - flies far into the air above the battle and surveys it. He casts wall of fire spanning the majority of the battle field, hitting all the enemies in some manner. The minotaur grunts in anger as his fur gets caught on fire (16 damage). And so do two of the faeries that are caught in it.
Everyone, Knowledge Religion DC 20 Highlight to display spoiler: {Perhaps the pie piece on the minotaur's neck is providing him with some sort of power. If you can remove that....}
Their turn
Two of the faeries fight to get away from the tentacles, but cannot as they are tiny and grappled. The other two fareries decide that the spears did not work and magic may be the way to go. They first move away from the dividing wall of fire. They speak in Fey, "Your mind is numb and your body will be tooooo!" as faerie 3 and 4 put their hands together and cast Hold Person on Speck! (Don't forget the -10 to will saves. You're lucky they didn't cast Phantasmal Killer)
The Minotaur takes a step out of the fire and unleashes the full fury of his twin axes upon Sir John. Hits AC 24, 19, and 8... miss miss miss!!! As you sidestep a cleave, a huge chunk of earth is taken out. Your shield arm goes numb deflecting the strength of these blows. The Minotaur hoofs the ground in frustration and chunks of dirt fly everywhere.
You also notice that the great tree is catching on fire... and its shaking violently... you almost hear... a grumbling?
Your turn
Minotaur: -30hp. Fairie 1 - Grappled by tentacles. 4 fire damage Fairie 2 - Grappled by tentacles. 16 fire damage Fairy 3 - 16 fire damage Fairy 4 - 2 fire damage

Kiri is surprised to see fairies jump from the bushes, but is happy that the Black Tentacles look to have ensnared two of them.
Feeling somewhat outnumbered as members of the once strong party disappear, Kiri elects to go defensive. She vanishes from sight then sidesteps. Cast invisibility and move to M7

Sir John laughs at the Minotaur's failed attempt at hitting him, and his resolve becomes stronger when Lucky heals some of the wounds. He watches the minotaur closely (Religion = 10) but doesn't see anything out of the ordinary...
He swings his axe both times in a bid to erase this evil (uses 1st Smite Evil) and...
Att 1 = Hit AC 27 for 23 pts + 2 fire + 2 shock = 27 pts
Att 2 = Hit AC 26 for 20 pts + 4 fire + 6 shock = 30 pts (EDIT - I made a mistake and my 2nd d20 roll should have only been +14, so it hits AC 19 and not AC26...)

Know Religion check: 26! Nat 20! "Get that Pie Piece off that taur's neck!" shouts Lucky.
Then he casts Shatter on the chain or cord or whatever it has holding the Pie Piece on its neck. The will save to negate the spell is 1d20 +7 Wis +2 spell +5 luck points. Lucky rolls a save DC20.
If the taur saves, he loses the luck points. If he fails, Lucky gets them back, plus 1.

(OOC: SOrry guys, Real life kicked me in the groin this weekend yet again. Going through some shit)
Speck - his mind all fuddled, he is unable to resist the Hold Person spell cast on him and is held fast, unable to move a muscle! Yes, you may make a new will saving throw each round. The DC is unknown to you, but known to me.
John - Is in full combat with the enlarged Minotaur. Axes clash together and sparks of holy light and flame leap in every direction. John's Axe bites into the Minotaur's glowing scale armor. Then in a dazzling display of strength, John plunges his axe deep into the Minotaur's abdomen, blood and gore spew everywhere and platter on Sir John most of all. A holy light from the smite evil radiates on the poor beast's wounds. The Minotaur still stands though.
Kiri - happy with her tentacles, decides to go invisible and move about...
Lucky - Sees the chain with the pie piece hanging from the Minotaur's neck and tries to cast Shatter on it. Unfortunately, the Minotaur's will save rolled a 21, beating the DC by 1. The necklace holds fast... but the Minotaur is visibly shaken by the attempt!
Their Turn
The two fairies that are grappled by the tentacles are still grappled, they are slowly burning and being strangled to death.
The other two fairies on the other hand, put their hands together again and cast Blindness on Sir John, they giggle, "Little Paladin smiting away, too bad his eyes can see no evil!" Roll will save to resist. DC is 17.
The Minotaur, enraged by the damage he sustained and the stinging of the holy light is still hot on his skin. He unleashes a flurry of blows, hitting AC 21, 19, and 20.... which means he hits your shield, you parry one, and his axe gets stuck in the ground from a nice side-step that Sir John executes.
Then... something really really weird happens. The Tree that was in the background begins to move. Some of its branches are on fire. The roots pop up out of the ground and try to grapple you! "Everyone who is touching the ground" Roll a DC 16 reflex save or you will get entangled by roots!
While the tree moves, the pie piece that is on the Minotaur's neck glows. Spot DC 20 Highlight to display spoiler: {THere is also a pie piece stuck in the tree's trunk!}
Remsus, who is flying, sees the tree and throws a Fire Ball right smack at the trunk. It explodes and a loud wail is heard.
Minotaur: -57hp. Fairie 1 - Grappled by tentacles. 14 damage from tentacles and wall of fire Fairie 2 - Grappled by tentacles. 25 damage from tentacles and fire Fairy 3 - 16 fire damage Fairy 4 - 2 fire damage Tree - 20 fire damage

Spot check, using all three remaining luck points ... a 29! Up to 4 luck points.
Lucky shouts, "Look! There is another pie piece in the truck of that Ent thing creature!"
Lucky casts Cause Serious Wounds, holding the charge. Then he tumbles ten feet to the right of Sir John, using 1 luck point on the tumble check ... a 16 gets him there without provoking an AoO, bringing his total to 5 points.

Note: Lucky does not provoke an AoO from the huge taur when casting (regardless of his reach) because he has soft cover thanks to Sir John, and per the rules, "You can't execute an attack of opportunity against an opponent with cover relative to you."

But only just! An additional +2 if the roots are considered evil. Damage to grappled fairies: 10 and 5 Knowledge (Arcana) check to realise Speck is Held: 31. Assuming success Spot Check: 11
Still invisible, Kiri stumbles amongst the roots, but manages to keep her balance. She notices how steady Speck appears and quickly realises he is held fast. Rather than asssault the fairies, she instead casts Dispel magic at Speck. Cast Dispel Magic. Dispel check=30 (Nat 20!)

Speck AC21/22(Dodge) HP:41/41 d20+14=28 ; Tuesday September 14th, 2010 9:31:46 PM
OOC: i suppose the dispel magic will dispel the spells Speck also cast on himself. That would be 'Expeditious Retreat', 'Eagle's Splendor', and, if applicable, whatever is giving Speck the 10 penalty on will checks. DM please let Speck know what all is gone.
On the assumption that the Hold Person is gone...
IC: Speck felt himself suddenly freeze in place. Not a cold freeze, but not a paralyzing one either, as he could breathe and didn't feel numb. But just about as soon as he was about to panic, the sensation left and he nearly stumbles.
Ref DC16 d20+13+1(Lucky before he moved)= 28, success
Tree roots pop up all around him but he nimbly dodges them. Whipping out his Wand of Invis, he mutters 'hide me, please!' and vanishes. He then moves to K13 (20').
DM Addison: Yeah, Kiri just blasted the heck out of all Your enchantments and buffs along with Hold Person Kiri: Boo-yah! :)
Captain Lucky AC1d20+17 HP64 of 64 Wednesday September 15th, 2010 7:38:11 AM
OOC: I think a dispel can target just one existing spell, if the caster wishes. So it could be just the hold that goes away.

Kiri -- AC17+11 HP34/62 -- Familiar(Sniff - AC19+11 HP27/27), Mithral Tap Wednesday September 15th, 2010 11:52:42 PM
OOC: I wasn't sure if I could just target the Hold Person spell, and I also wasn't sure if it was actually 2 x Hold Person spells (1 for each fairy that wsa casting).
My interpretation of the wording of the spell, is that because I targetted an individual (rather than a spell), each spell currently in effect on the character must make a check vs dispel - ie: i probably cancelled all magic in effect (good or bad). Sorry Speck, thought I was helping! DMs call though.

The wording that Kiri used was "Rather than asssault the fairies, she instead casts Dispel magic at Speck." If you want to direct it specifically at a spell, then research exactly how dispel magic works and use the wording they use. I'm just gunna stick with my original ruling, she blasted the heck out of the weave of magic around Speck.
On the other hand... Anyone read Shadowdale series of forgotten realms by RA Salvadore? Magic is described as being a weave of different colors strewn in a tapestry, and dispel magic is like a blast of darkness in the light that shuts it out. Takes skill to wield it effectively, like a surgeon trying to only knick certain beams of light , so maybe Kiri's natural 20 on the dispel check is what the creators of the rules was trying to imagine as this. It would be a good reason to let it only target a specific spell.
I'm sold, Kiri's natural 20 shows that her prowess in the arcane arts run deep indeed.
Kiri - Kiri recognizes the paralyzing power of the spell and then, Precisely, she recognizes the magic and wields her dispel magic to only cut the yellow haze of the Hold Person spell. Hero point for Kiri Who know's what she can do given time and experience.
Knowledge Nature or Arcana DC 20: Highlight to display spoiler: {" The faeries power works as thus: they can cast spells at a level dependent on how many of them are touching at one time. Four faeries touching equals level 4 spells. Two are level two spells, and so forth. Separating them is the trick..."}
Lucky: Lucky, standing behind Sir John casts Cause Serious Wounds and a purple necrotic energy envelops the halfling's hand. He then tumbles enough in a kinda sloppily manner to get around Sir John and within range of the Minotaur(check my placing of you). He thrusts his hand, burning with anti-life power, at the minotaur. But alas the beast sees it coming, his hoof raises and kick's Lucky's tiny hand to the side before he can discharge the energy into the Minotaur. The minotaur shouts "You will not claim what is rightfully ours!" with a thunderous voice.
Speck: Freed from the hold person and still holding on to his enchantments.He dodges tree roots and whips out his wand, shielding himself from the light spectrum. Then he moves to K-13.
Now both Speck and Kiri are invisible. Anyone else wanna be a one-trick pony?
Sir John: Since your a DM, go ahead and edit this spot with your action and we will go from there! I think I just invented a new system for people missing a post.
OOC - Sorry for missing yesterday, but had several RL issues going on... Sir John's saves - Will Save vs. Blindness vs DC17 (Will = 20 so OK). Save vs. Reflex vs. DC16 (Reflex = 15, nope...
Sir John manages to avoid the faeries diabolical light by closing his eyes briefly, but in that moment, he fails to see the tree roots coming up from the ground and becomes entangled. He tries to free himself (Str = 21) and manages to chop off a few roots and free his feet...
Their Turn
The faeries realize that this situation is getting serious real quick. The two that are free slap their hands together and instantly teleport to the Trunk of the tree The faeries then grab the magical Pie Piece that is embedded in the trunk and seem to... aim it at the other faeries? Yes! The crafty little devels, Knowledge Nature or Arcana or Common Sense DC20 Highlight to display spoiler: {They seem to have found a way to utilize the Sacred Pie Piece of the diety Bangle. What magic does this thing hold?} Then, a blast of light comes from the Pie Piece in the tree and it hits the tentacles grappling the other faeries. The tentacles flop back and a few of them explode in a blue goo. Disgusting. The spell is utterly... dispelled.
Then, the two faeries that were grappled and burned are now pissed off. They too teleport to the tree trunk and grab the Pie Piece.
It seems to be powering up for something...
(The minotaur's actions will only not happen if Sir John can somehow whip out about 100 damage in the next turn) The Minotaur laughs a gurgled, throaty laugh, a little blood spews from his mouth. "Your end is near. We may be mortals, but Bangle shall never die!' The Pie Piece on his chest begins to glow violently. He then connects his two greataxes together into one humongous axe and cracks it down on Sir Arthur's head with all his might. Knowledge Religion DC 16 Highlight to display spoiler: {Apparently our Minotaur budy has taken some levels of Bizarro-Paladin, he can Smite GOOD!}
A wave of necrotic energy engulfs Sir John with each massive blow. Pieces of the Paladin's armor chip and fly off as the axe pierces into him twice. Hit AC 34 for 29 slashing/necrotizing damage and AC33 for 30 of the same juice.
RemsusRemsus is flying in the air towards the tree, he shoots another Fireball directed at the faeries and the Pie Piece, "Destroy it!" He shouts! The fireball explodes on them, but unfortunately Faeries have a really high Reflex save and they dodge a lot of the damage. The Tree gets hit pretty good though.
Roots: Roots start to shoot up even more as the Pie Piece powers up. Reflex DC 18 or get pierced by barbs... which halves your movement until you are healed in some way
Minotaur: -57hp... and whatever John can whip out last turn. Fairie 1 - 32 damage from tentacles and wall of fire Fairie 2 - 38 damage from tentacles and fire Fairy 3 - 24 fire damage Fairy 4 - 18 fire damage Tree - 36 fire damage

OOC: Unsure if Sir John is blinded or not, or whether I should try and dispel that too...
Kiri is shocked when she sees the tentacles explode. Her favourite spell hadn't failed her before, but the fairies had found a way to overcome it. She realises that they have more power when grouped together. More roots appear underfoot, and the fairies are definitely planning something.
Sensing the urgency of the situation, Kiri drops her invisibility and launches a fireball at the fairies, tree and pie piece (27 dmg. Saving throw for half). She then backsteps to N6.

However, in his full action last turn, he managed to free himself...
Sir John is physically rocked back by the Minotaur's attack and is stunned by the force of the blows. Blood and pieces of armor are strewn everywhere...
Yelling to his friends, SJ calls, "A little healing here!!! One more hit and I'm down for good!!! He doesn't have time now to heal himself and hopefully his friend Lucky can give SJ a piece of his own luck...
Facing the minotaur, Sir John nods at the worthy foe and says, "Good shot my friend, but you're going to have to do a little better than that to finish me off! Let's see how you like this!
With the same attitude as before, SJ uses another Smite Evil and hits the Minotaur again with two solid blows...
Hit AC 27 for 17 pts + 1 fire + 4 shock = 22 (what's with the low rolls here???) Hit AC 31 for 22 pts + 6 fire + 6 shock = 34 Total = 56 dmg
