Drall and the Scepter (DM MikeK) 2d6=12 ; Sunday November 3rd, 2024 7:57:18 PM
Stepping through the portal, the Shields find themselves on a floating hunk of rock, 250’ in diameter, surrounded by the mists of Koshe Marr. The sky above is dark and cloudy. An epic storm fills the space - lightning pierces the gloom, thunder booms mightily, winds are high, and rain comes like waves - increasing and decreasing suddenly and with great intensity.
The rock they stand upon is shaped like a shallow cone, rising some 40’ from edge to center. At the apex of this cone is a statue of a hooded humanoid figure with both arms extended before it, palms up, as if presenting a gift. Resting in the hands of the statue is the Scepter.
25’ away stands a 6’ tall wooden post inscribed with some kind of markings.
Standing in a group in front of the statue are four trolls.
Drall stands directly between the Shields and the statue. The half troll wears mithril full plate cut out in the back so that a pair of large bat wings open behind him. Both his skin and his eyes are reddish. He carries no weapon, but the palms and fingers of his gauntlets are studded with wickedly serrated spikes.
To each side of Drall stands a troll fighter in hide armor and wearing metal spikes fit over their claws. (TF1 and TF2)
On the far right is a fourth troll, also in hide armor but with no visible weapons. (TA)

Armalad casts Repulsion choosing to make the emanation 60/130 feet maximum centered on her and extends out to AA/AB 36 to Y/AD 37 to X/AE 38 to W/AF 39 to V/AG 40 to U/AH 41, T/AI 42, S/AJ 43, R/AK 44, Q/AL 45, P/AM 46, O/AN 47, N/AO 48, M/AP 49 and behind. Any creature within or entering the field must attempt a DC 24 save. If it fails, it becomes unable to move toward Armalad for the duration of the spell (13 rounds)
Armalad calls out to Drall, "DRALL! GARGUL SENT US TO COLLECT BOTH YOU AND THE SCEPTER SURRENDER IT AND YOU NOW"

Stohp winces. That is the worst possible way to start this conversation, there's no way the troll will 'surrender' anything. Given the noise and things yelling at each other may or may not get the message through so Stohp will throw her weapons to the side and hold up her hands in an overt show of peace. She calls out, "WE ARE NOT ENEMIES, BUT REINFORCEMENTS, COMMANDED BY THE GOD OF THE DEAD TO ASSIST IN THE DEFENSE OF THE SCEPTER."

Even Stock winces at Armalad’s rather direct entrance. He nods to Stohphoping to direct Drall’s attention to her velvet words.
Despite the diplomatic approach, Stock grabs a potion and drinks.

Zanderallen takes in the situation quickly, picking up Drall's warning over the roar of the storm. His hope of a peaceful resolution quickly fades but that wouldn't stop him from trying. He does take the opportunity to summon Domi's spirit into his blade, preparing his weapon to take down Drall non-lethally. He yells back to Drall, "YOU KNOW WE CAN'T DO THAT DRALL. GARGUL SENT US TO BRING YOU BACK. WE'D RATHER YOU COME PEACEFULLY."

Armalad casts a spell and calls for the trolls to surrender.
Stohp counters by throwing her weapons to the side and ing up her hands in an overt show of peace. She calls out that they are here as reinforcements.
Stock drinks a potion. Looking for noteworthy items, Drall is obviously part fiend. The other three appear to be trolls, though its a good bet they've class levels.
Delia gives up understanding whether the Shields are attacking or parlaying. She casts a spell on Hawky.
Bartomus casts a spell and points out the Shields are working for a god.
Zanderallen summons Domi's spirit into his blade and calls out their mission while asking for a peaceful resolution.

Armalad says to Zanderallen, "What do you think about Hold Monster or Baleful Polymorph on Drall? Either way he isn't dead and is essentially a non-entity this battle."
She then casts mirror image on Joker while waiting for Zanderallen's preference for how she deals with Drall.

Zanderallen notes the fiendish character of Drall and remembers Gargul's words. He reminds the rest of the Shields, "Drall may once have served good, but he has been reborn and corrupted by the power of Koshe Marr, he does not recognize Gargul anymore. Negotiating with a fiend will get us nowhere. Armalad, if he doesn't surrender immediately, polymorph him."
He then marches forward not quite passing the post. He yells out, "Drall, last chance. Stand down NOW." ============== Divine Bond 18 minute

Armalad waits for Zanderallen to give the word, while casting a spell on Joker.
Stohp advocates for going along with Drall's demand.
Zanderallen points out Drall has been lost to Koshe Marr. He offers one last chance, while giving Armalad the nod should Drall refuse. The paladin moves forward.
Stock looks at the other Shields and says, “Ok, next time we take a minute to get on the same page before jumping in… …and if you need ME to point that out, you know it has to be true." The dwarf prepares a potion and moves in line with Zanderallen.
Delia frowns, and tells the rest of the Shields Drall is lying. She drinks a potion while moving away from the bunched group.

If she overcame his SR Drall must make a DC 22 Fort Save or be turned into a squirrel followed by a DC 22 Will Save if the Fort Save is failed. If this second save fails, the creature loses its extraordinary, supernatural, and spell-like abilities, loses its ability to cast spells (if it had the ability), and gains the alignment, special abilities, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores of its new form in place of its own. It still retains its class and level (or HD), as well as all benefits deriving therefrom (such as base attack bonus, base save bonuses, and hit points). It retains any class features (other than spellcasting) that aren't extraordinary, supernatural, or spell-like abilities.

Bartomus had a thought and then got wrapped up in it. He had wanted to ask if they really wanted to piss off a god...he didn't think anyone would want to do that. But, apparently, these guys did.
He quickly calculated where Stock and Zander had moved to in his moment of thought. FRIG, he thought.
Then his fingers moved as quickly as his mouth.
"Burn."

Zanderallen grimaces at how out of sync they are. But Drall was pushing them onto this path, and with him being a servant of Koshe Marr he was pretty sure they was never going to be any other options. He yells back to the Shields, "DO NOT LOOK AT THIS SIGN" Then with a quick prayer he touches Stock.
He then continues his march forward, calling to Drall and the other trolls, "Then I pronounce judgement upon you Drall. As a servant of Domi, acting as an agent of Gargul, we will subdue you and bring you back to Gargul for judgement.

I missed this last round so will cover it now. Everyone except Armalad (this includes Hawky and Joker) Will Save DC 24. Failure means unable to move closer to Armalad.
Armalad moves up and prepares to cast a spell.
Bartomus readies a spell. BTW -Its +8 luck bonus if used before roll
Stohp moves up, ready to grapple.
Zanderallen instructs the Shields not to look at the sign on the post. He casts a spell on Stock and moves forward. "Then I pronounce judgement upon you Drall. As a servant of Domi, acting as an agent of Gargul, we will subdue you and bring you back to Gargul for judgement. The rest of you, get lost now or face the consequences of standing with the damned."
Delia moves up, with Hawky circling above her. She catches TA's eye, readies her bow, and shakes her head.

Drall growls a command in Giant Highlight to display spoiler: {Kill them}
There is the sound of a spell being cast. A lightning bolt strikes Zanderallen and then arcs to Armalad, Stock, and Stohp. A fifth troll appears to the left of the others.
Zanderallen takes 34 hp damage Ref DC 20 halves Armalad, Stock, Stohp take 34 hp damage Ref DC 18 halves
At this, Bartomus looses his spell. All five trolls are enveloped in a firestorm. Drall appears unaffected (SR29) The two fighters take some damage but appear to also have some level of fire resistance.
TA is caught and catches fire.
TA looks back at Delia and casts a spell. The ranger's bow hums. Her arrow hits home. The spell fizzles.
Drall and the two troll fighters move in on Zanderallen.
Armalad casts her readied spell, but is unable to overcome Drall's resistance. Using 25 roll for Repulsion as well
TF1 stops. It tries again, but cannot close.
Drall marches up and bites down on Zanderallen. His teeth sink into the paladin. Zanderallen takes 20 hp damage

Armalad gracefully avoids any of the damage from the lightning thanks to evasion. (Reflex: 23)
Armalad then tries to cast Hold Monster against Drall only to fail against his Spell resistance (18 vs SR)
She says to Zanderallen, "I'm out of the 2 spells I thought we could use to trap Drall without killing him, I technically have a third option that doesn't allow for Spell Resistance but we need to reduce his forces first."

Zanderallen shrugs off the effect of the repulsion and catches the brunt of the lightning blast on his shield. He roars in pain as the tingling from the lightning intensifies the pain of Drall's teeth.
Face to face with the troll Zander's eye's flash with recognition. How had he missed it?! "DRALL! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO TOOK PEPPER!! YOU ANSWER TO GARGUL NOW!!" Planting his feet against the wind he SMITES Drall, the enchantments on his blade turning it into blunt object. His flurry of attacks rains down hard upon his opponent, heroically trying to find every opening. ===================== Will Save 39 - Passes Repulsion Reflex 21 - 17 damage taken from lightning
As a part fiend I believe Drall's natural weapons are Evil Aligned and will overcome Zander's DR - 20 damage
Divine Bond - Merciful and Speed
Swift Action - Smite Evil on Drall - +7 to hit and AC, +18 to damage
Full Attack on Drall (all damage is non-lethal) 52 (19 crit threat), 43 to confirm, 83 damage 34 (nat 1) misses 46 (18 crit threat), 52 to confirm, 90 damage 43 (Nat 20), 35 (Using hero point for +4) to confirm, 44 base + 48 if crit 22 misses
Armalad avoids the lightning. She tries another spell, but is stymied by Drall's spell resistance. She has one option left.
Capture without killing is kind of Stohp's specialty. She also avoids the lightning bolt and moves in behind Zanderallen. She tries to grab Drall, but the fiendish troll shrugs off her attempt.
Bart attempts to move up behind Armalad Bart still needs the Will Save DC24 vs Armalad's Repulsion spell to be able to do that. The taur casts a spell, planning to help reduce some forces.
Zanderallen recognizes Drall. With a roar, the paladin is on the foe. His blade slams into Drall repeatedly. As he strikes, he feels the power of Drall's Unholy Aura echoing his blows back upon him. Zanderallen make three Fort saves vs DC 19 (one for each melee hit). Each failure results in loss of 1d6 Strength.
Delia also hears "reduce his forces first" and is ready to help. While Hawky flies to the flank, the ranger fires arrows through the gusting wind. Two hit the spellcaster.
-------------
Drall spits blood. "I do not know those names." He unleashes his own assault, using his own Smite Good ability. His bite and one claw strike true, overcoming Zanderallen's DR. Zanderallen takes 34 and 36 hp damage. The troll's wounds heal a little.
Gauging the limits of the repulsion, TF1 turns to his left and circles. Realizing the effect is circular, his eyes fix on Delia.
TF2 steps up and strikes Stohp with a barbed claw. Stohp takes 22 hp damage.
TA has issues. His priority appears to be he's on fire. The troll flails about and manages to extinguish himself. His arrow wounds heal a smidge.
TW casts a spell. Armalad feels a compulsion coming over her. Armalad Will Save DC 20 or suffer from a continuous confusion effect.
------
It's as if the storm is reveling in the combat.
The gust of wind stops. The western quadrant of the land is engulfed in a hailstorm. Only TW is in that section and she is battered by hail stones.

"Ok, so they have some type of changing storm, great." Bartomus said as he stayed in place near Armalad.
He aimed a sunbeam (1/6) at the troll off to his left that had been pelted with hailstones (TW).
Then he called down another spell and let fly against the troll far to his right.

TW - Sunbeam, however, not sure if SR applies - rolled a nat 20 for a total of 38 if it does; Reflex save needed by TW against 22. If successful, not blinded - also reflex save reduces damage of 71 to 35.
My target for Flame Strike is TA - but I am uncertain as to whether I have line of sight. If not, then I would choose TF1.
Spell Resistance roll of 26. If that passes, reflex save against 22 is needed. 53 damage a successful reflex save reduces that in half. Half is fire and the other is divine damage - that half is not resistant to fire.

(My header says I'm at 21 hp, I don't think I healed myself after the bridge fight when we rested. I'm going to put myself down 22 from max, but if I'm misremembering and we didn't rest or somehow missing a bunch of damage from this fight then disregard my posted action Stohp is unconscious)
Well Drall has taken a lot of damage so Stohp will switch targets to TF2. After an internal debate about what class he is (might be demoman if he's missing an eye, or more likely heavy) she goes for the grapple to prevent him from eating his Sandvich. He's in reach so she can make 2 grapples, if the first succeeds she'll use the 2nd to pin.
Zanderallen (Zachary H) 131/238 AC: 38 (45 vs Drall) T: 15 FF: 37 CMD: 36 LoH 16/16 SE 6/6 d20+28=39 ; d20+28=30 ; d20+28=35 ; d20+33=50 ; d20+28=44 ; d20+23=33 ; d20+18=21 ; d20+33=43 ; d8+40=44 ; d6=4 ; d8+40=44 ; d6=4 ; d8+40=42 ; d6=2 ; d20+28=42 ; d20+28=29 ; d20+28=30 ; d6=3 ; Friday November 8th, 2024 3:55:38 PM
Zander easily shrugs off the woozy blowback of the troll's unholy aura. His wonder about what happened to Drall since last they met is quickly spent aside by the burning pain of infernally fueled claws and teeth. Gritting his teeth he continues his dance with the big troll, trading heavily. ========================== Fort Saves for last round - 39, 30, 35 all pass
Divine Bond - Speed and Merciful - 17.5 minutes Smite Evil Drall - +7 to hit and AC, +18 damage
Full Attack on Drall - all non-lethal 50 hits, 48 damage (Fort 42 passes) 44 hits, 48 damage (Fort Nat 1 fails, 3 STR damage) STR damage -1 to attack and damage 32 misses 20 misses 42 hits, 43 damage (Fort 30 passes)
Delia spares a glance to the troll advancing on her only because he gets in her way. She then proceeds to send arrows whistling by him to stay on target. Seeing that the troll put itself out, she pulls out different arrows, flame wreathing around the arrow as her bow imbues them with frost.
Hawky swoops in for a flyby attack on TF1.
Full attack at TA, if she drops him, switch to TF1; 6 fire arrows used 35 to hit; 28 damage (20+6 cold+2 fire) & 27 damage (22+1+4) 40 to hit; 29 damage (21+6+2) 33 to hit; 25 damage (21+3+1) 31 to hit; 31 damage (25+2+4) 24 to miss
Hawky flyby and end at AO34, 25ft up Attack 33 to hit TF1 12 damage + 10 damage if target is evil for 22 damage (from amulet of mighty fists: Holy)

Stock looks at Armalad and says, "Ok, it looks like the battle field has developed the way I want. Now I move."
He moves toward a troll, drinking a potion as he moves. With every step, he grows in size and feels his rage building.

Bart overcomes Armalad's Repulsion spell and moves up behind the arcane archer. The druid thinks of sending a sunbeam at TW, but several issues prevent that TW is out of range of spell (60'). Also, evoking the beams requires a standard action. So, can't send a beam and cast another spell unless you find a way to perform two standard actions - such as using a hero point.
Bart does call down a Flame Strike on TA. TA has spell resistance, but Bart overcomes it. The pillar slams into the troll.
Armalad steps up and casts a spell that should keep TW entertained next round.
Stohp tries grappling F2, but finds he's even harder to get a hold of than Drall. The troll bats aside her attempts.
Zanderallen batters Drall with more blows. The fiendish troll collapses, unconscious.
Delia lets arrows fly, while Hawky swoops past TF1. The bird misses its attack. Delia drops TA and sends one arrow into F1.
Stock drinks a potion, embiggening himself, and moves up. The troll rakes with a claw as he closes. Stock takes 25 hp damage.
-------------
Drall's wounds heal a bit. He remains unconscious.
TF1 charges Delia. Arriving at the ranger, the troll attempts to bite her face off. Critical hit. Delia takes 47 hp damage.
TF2 attacks Stock, ripping into the dwarf with a bite, both claws, and a rending attack. Stock takes 24, 45, 22, and 20 hp damage. Also 7 hp bleed damage per round from critical hit.
TW casts a spell. A pillar of divine flame slams down on Stohp, Zanderallen, and Stock. Stohp, Zanderallen, and Stock. Flame Strike for 50 hp damage. Ref DC 20 halves.
The unburned wounds of the trolls heal a little.

OOC: I noted that all my arrows at TA were fire arrows, so 1d6 of the damage was fire on each one. Sorry I don't think I marked that clearly in my damage tally.
Delia grunts in pain as the troll takes a bite out of her. She retreats slightly before failing to fight the storm. All arrows go painfully wide.

Zander barely has time to notice Drall is down before his attention is fully taken up dodging infernal fire. He coughs from the singeing. Taking a slight step to his right he calls forth more of Domi's power against the troll taking a bite out of his dwarven friend. Without needing to take anyone but Drall alive he suppresses the Merciful enhancement on his blade, one less troll fiend in the world was a good thing in his book. =================== Reflex 39 - 25 damage taken

Bartomus shifted to his right. He let loose one of the sunbeams that he had available to him at the troll that Delia stepped away from.
"We need to get this thing over and out of here."
Move to AG/AH 44
Cast Sunbeam - SR check - 30 succeeds against 25. Reflex save needed by TF1 against 22. If successful, not blinded, if fails - takes 4d6 from that for 15; and then also reflex save reduces damage of 62 to 31.

A gargantuan glowing T-Rex appears in front of a very startled TW. With a quick snap, the creature bends down and clamps her in its jaws.
Armalad casts a spell and becomes invisible.
Stohp dodges the flame strike and keeps trying. She'll get him eventually!
Delia steps back and lets arrows fly. But the wind and the troll's thick armor combine to stymie her attempts.
Zanderallen slashes TF2 with deep cuts.
Bartomus lets loose one of his sunbeams at TF1. The troll saves and doesn't take much damage. However, the troll is not undead and the damage is much less than Bart hoped for. 18d6 would be against undead creatures. In this case, damage is 4d6
Stock batters TF2.
-------------
TW struggles vainly in the T-Rex's jaws.
TF1 steps up and launches a full attack against Delia. She is hit by the bite and both claws which then rend long gashes into her. Delia takes 24 (bite), 21 (claw), 24 (claw) + 15 rend damage
TF2 keeps up the assault on Stock. The troll's bite misses, but the dwarf is clawed and rent. Stock takes 23 (claw), 24 (claw), and 16 rend damage
All the trolls' wounds heal a little bit.
Grantham remains unconscious, but TA wakes and starts moving to pull himself up.
---
The wind stops.
With an accompanying peal of thunder, a bolt of lightning streaks down from the storm filled sky and slams into Zanderallen. Zanderallen takes 60 hp damage. Reflex DC20 halves.

Armalad moves to Ai 41 which reorients the repulsion
She then activates hail of arrows against TF1 and TF2 giving the command word to turn her merciful enchantment off
TF2: 36 vs Flatfooted AC; 29 +3 fire +6 ice + 4 shock
TF1: 32 vs Flatfooted AC; 19+2 fire +2 ice + 5 shock
As the Celestial T-Rex began the round with TW grappled in its jaws it can activate its swallow whole ability which succeeds (42 vs 28). TW is swallowed whole so it maintains the grappled condition while the T-Rex is not. TW also takes bite damage (23 + 18 from smite evil)

Stock glances down and sees that he is still bleeding. He spits on the wound and then continues his assault. He is getting visibly frustrated though as the blood on his hands is making his hands slip ever so slightly.

Bartomus moved up behind Stock and touched the him on the shoulder.
"Heal," He said. The energy flowed from him and into the now huge dwarf.
Move to AE/Af 41 cure critical wounds for 23. Frig, really rolled bad.
Delia steps back again, the waves of Armalad's magic gently pulsing against her. She hopes it's enough to keep her safe as she fires at the troll in front of her again.

The T Rex swallows TW.
Stohp again fails to grapple TF2.
Stock continues attacking, annoyed his own blood is causing grip problems.
Zanderallen tears into TF2. The troll drops. Please roll save vs the bolt of lightning from last round
Bartomus gives Stock some healing.
Delia steps toward Armalad, firing more arrows. Meanwhile, Hawky dives the struggling TA, rendering it unconscious once more.
-------------
TF1 roars in frustration, unable to advance on Delia. The troll arcs to its right, faces Zanderallen and Stock and readies itself.
All the trolls' wounds heal a little bit.

He grimaced and then decided to run for it.

Stock swings around Stohp and attacks TF1, hitting.
Zanderallen pauses to give everyone a little healing help.
Delia fires more arrows at TF1, but misses. Hawky rakes the unconscious TA, keeping him down.
-------------
TF1 keeps fighting. He takes a step away from the party and attacks the giant, glowing dinosaur. TRex takes 19 (bite), 45 (claw/crit), 20 (claw), and 20 (rend) hp damage.
All the trolls' wounds heal a little bit.

Another peal of thunder rattles the combatants. Everyone takes 10 hp sonic damage, plus Fort Save DC20 or stunned next round. TF1 saves.
Armalad who isn't stunned this time takes a 5 foot step to AJ42 which re-orients the repulsion

Armalad takes a step and fires a set of arrows at TF1. The first one hits, generating an antimagic field around the troll. All of other arrows hit (FF 15)
The TRex moves away.
Stock steps forward and slams TF1. Because it is in an antimagic field, it is easier to hit. However none of the magical or spell like enhancements on Stock or his weapon can be applied to the damage. The DM is not going to attempt to recalculate that. TF1 falls unconscious.
Delia gives herself some healing, while Hawky keeps TA down. -------------
All the trolls are now either unconscious or inside a Celestial Tyrannosaurus Rex.
All the trolls' wounds heal a little bit.

A light rainfall resumes, but otherwise the storm seems to 'pull back'. Lightning flickers through the clouds but nothing damaging happens on the ground.
Green squares around TF1 indicate the antimagic field.

Bartomus saw the scepter in the hands of the statue. He looked back at Zander and the other Shields.
"Alright, you all want me to grab this and then we grab Drall and head through the portal?" He asked as he scanned the scepter and the statue from his close proximity. "Or, do we chant something to be taken to Gargul directly?"
He really couldn't remember that aspect of their assignment.
Bartomus had moved within five feet of the statue - Z/AA 28 - last round. Perception - statue and sceptre

Armalad uses a double move to fly over to the statue and up to the sceptre and if she can take a second round's action she checks the sceptre and statue for traps (Perception: 44);
If there are traps and she can spend a 3rd round's action she attempts to disable them (Disable Device: 49) otherwise if there are no traps and she can spend a 3rd round's action she plucks the sceptre from the statue and then moves 60 feet back towards the group.
If she can take a 4th round's action she either plucks the sceptre and flies back toward the group if she disabled traps last round or she continues her way back to the group
If she isn't back with the group after 4 rounds she takes a 5th round to the rest of the way to the group
She says to the group "I have the sceptre someone grab Drall and can't we just use the item Gargul gave us to return to himl? Do we have any business left here otherwise?"
The T-Rex would have done 4 or 5 rounds worth of damage to the swallowed troll (1:15 + 18 smite evil; 2: 22 + 18 smite evil; 3: 14 + 18 smite evil; 4: 22 + 18 smite evil; 5: 14 + 18 smite evil;)

Under Delia's direction, Hawky will continue beating down TA.
As Armalad passes her, she calls out, "Thanks for whatever that Repulsor spell was. If that troll had had a little more time with me, it would not have ended well."
She will move towards the entrance portal and then wait for the Shields to be ready, concerned that a troll may get back up before they are ready to leave. "We have multiple days to get out of Koshe Marr. How are we keeping Drall unconscious? Can we do that magically?"
========== Hawky, currently at AK28, full-round attack on TA each round, until Delia calls him back. He can get to her in 1 round of movement.

Zander considers options for putting the trolls down for good. "Bart you have any more flame strikes? Might be the best way to stop these other from following us or trying to rescue Drall." He takes note that Armalad is checking out the scepter and keeps an eye on her, handling artifacts was always dangerous. He helps Stohp manhandle Drall to get him secured, testing his weight to assess transport options.

Fortunately, one of you is watching the portal.
"Boss!" Joker yells. "Something is coming!"
The portal is flashing. Within it, several humanoid forms appear to be getting closer, as if walking through a tunnel. All of you experienced the same effect when you entered the portal - the feeling of moving through to the other side. You recall that experience lasted a few seconds. Thus, whatever is coming will arrive next round.

He turned and followed after Armalad. He stopped near Drahl and changed into a huge earth elemental.
"I can help with that too." He said with a voice that sounded like rocks grinding against each other.
Then he looked up. "FRIG!"
Move to Z/AA 34 and change form. Perception looking into the portal - 30

"This feels like one of those Round 2 - FIGHT! situations...Is there any chance these a good guys coming through? If not, that's our way out that we need to carry Grantham through."
He pulls out another potion and chugs it. "Do any of you have more healing to spare?" ====== Enlarge Person basically wore off after the last combat, Potion of Cure Serious Wounds, 15hp, 1 remaining 5 foot step south toward the portal

Zanderallen roars out as he sees the figures coming through, "DELIA, get over here! I'm on healing duty." Zander moves to position slightly closer to the portal. He then waits for Delia to approach before releasing another wave of positive energy, once again excluding the trolls. ================== Divine Bond - Speed Merciful Smite Evil TF2
Move to AE-39
Channel Positive Energy heals Zander, Stock, Stohp, and Delia if she moves for 30 HP
Delia (Hannah) HP: 81/187; AC 34/21/28; CMD 44 d20+27=47 ; d20+31=37 ; d8+19=27 ; d6=3 ; 2d8+38=51 ; 2d10=15 ; d8+7=8 ; 2d6+14=25 ; 6d6=27 ; Monday November 18th, 2024 4:30:07 PM -1 attack, saves, ability/skill checks, Darkvision, Longstrider, Iron Will reroll used, Animal Growth (15min), Barkskin +5 (150min), saved v Repulsion, Hawky failed v Repulsion
Delia releases the tension on her arrow and runs towards Zander at his call. She skids to a stop and turns, drawing back the same arrow again. She prepares to release but remains hopeful that maybe these are friendly creatures and not minions of Karkasan come to kill them and steal the Scepter to raise their evil god and doom the world.
"Hawky can keep someone down, but uh, how many trolls can that dino eat?"
========================= Move to AG37 New readied attack on hostile, preferring to target hostile spellcaster Potential crit, 37 to confirm: Non-crit damage: 30 damage (27 piercing, 3 cold) Crit damage: 96 damage (78 piercing, 18 cold)
+4 attack and damage (+12 for crit) if target is human, aberration, or undead
(OOC can animal companions Coup de Grace? Because that feels like a logical step in bird brain, but I don't know the mechanics on it. If I need to push the animal and make a check or it's just not feasible) All attacks auto hit, Hawky does 60 damage to TA this round.
