Panzer calls out about the Hell Hounds closest to him, Tsak, and (kinda) Mak.
Beech spins and fires another of his Cone of Cold arrows, to which Panzer and Tsak duck. The cold washes over the three hounds ... all three howl in pain as frost and ice forms on them, before their fiery bodies melt it.
Tsak attacks the Hound in front of him: (Attack1=28, dmg=11; Attack2=31, dmg=14; Attack3=14, dmg=10)
Panzer becomes a whirlwind of blades - and cuts the Hound in front of him down following Beech giving it a bath, when he bites it, it tastes like tastes like burnt metal and sulphur
Ayotnom again attacks his enemy from 10' away, striking three times, and getting through the creatures though hide
Falco fires three arrows at HH2, one strikes, then drops to the ground, the Hound laughs at Falco again
Mak ... is staring at the Hound that is sizing up Mak as a snack

Ayotnom has evasion so...
Ayotnom heroically avoids the first breathe weapon damage entirely (OOC: rolled a 22 but bumped it up to 26 using a hero point retroactively for +4)
Ayotnom also avoids the second breathe weapon without needing a heroic effort (26 vs DC)
Ayotnom takes a 5 foot step towards and continues to attack HH1 with his rapier using a full attack who seems like the biggest threat
22 vs AC; 13 damage if that hits 22 vs AC; 11 damage if that hits 23 vs AC; natural 16 threat of critical on keen rapier if that hits; 16 vs AC to confirm so probably not a crit 13 damage if that hits plus 14 damage if the crit was confirmed (but I'm thinking it probably isn't)

Falco's wings get singed, which he doesn't appreciate, and he jumps into the sky forty feet, getting him safely out of the hounds bad breath ... he begins checking on his friends to see who needs healing
Mak becomes an artillery piece, launching a deluge of arrows at HH6, while it is reeling, Panzer shows up and cuts the hound into pieces, ensuring it won't breathe or bite anyone again
Beech attacks HH4, and strikes it with two of three arrows, and it growls at him, definitely not happy with being a pin cushion
Ayotnom takes a step closer to his prey and strikes it three times. The hide is tough, and Ayotnom can tell these strikes did not hurt it that much, although, it is bleeding
Tsak strikes HH4 three times, but he also can tell that the hide is tough, and that his strikes did not hurt it that much, although it is bleeding
HOUNDS
HH4 comes after Tsak, attempting to take a chunk out of him, and it is able to clamp down on Tsak's arm. The pain from the wound is intense, both sharp piercing, fiery, and something evil (46 total damage)
HH1 and HH2 both tag team Ayotnom, also trying to take a bite out of him - HH2 connects, is able to clamp down on Ayotnom's arm; The pain from the wound is intense, both sharp piercing, fiery, and something evil (45 total damage)
HH3 heads for a tasty snack of Badgerkin, and lunges at Panzer, the pain from the wound is intense, both sharp piercing, fiery, and something evil (43 total damage)

Ayotnom callls out "I could use some healing"
Given the state of the battle and how Ayotnom is in a 2 on 1 situation he takes a 5 foot step to I6 putting himself in front of HH1 hoping to draw an AOO on HH2 if it tries to flank
Ayotnom them makes a full attack but readies to parry the next attack by one of the HH double teaming him forgoing his first attack roll
attack at + 12: 23 vs HH1's AC: 15 damage attack at +7: 11 vs HH1's AC; assuming this misses but 12 if that somehow hits
For HH turn take immediate action to parry HH attack at 35 vs HH's attack roll if his attack roll beats HH attack roll then HH automatically misses and Ayotnom can add a riposte which is an AOO against the parried creature and the Riposte is 32 which at natural 15 is a threat of critical with the keened rapier with 32 to confirm so if Ayotnom pulls off a parry riposte then HH takes a crit hit at 11 + 17 from crit
(OOC: Duelists can parry the attacks of other creatures, causing them to miss. Whenever the duelist takes a full attack action with a light or one-handed piercing weapon, she can elect not to take one of her attacks. At any time before her next turn, she can attempt to parry an attack against her or an adjacent ally as an immediate action. To parry the attack, the duelist makes an attack roll, using the same bonuses as the attack she chose to forego during her previous action. If her attack roll is greater than the roll of the attacking creature, the attack automatically misses. For each size category that the attacking creature is larger than the duelist, the duelist takes a –4 penalty on her attack roll. The duelist also takes a –4 penalty when attempting to parry an attack made against an adjacent ally. The duelist must declare the use of this ability after the attack is announced, but before the roll is made. The duelist can also riposte: Starting at 5th level, a duelist can make an attack of opportunity against any creature whose attack she successfully parries, so long as the creature she is attacking is within reach.)

Ayotnom calls out for healing as the wily minotaur prepares a "special" treat should HH2 decide to try and take another bite out of him. He does attack HH1 twice, the first strike seems to have done a small amount of damage, though he notices that the hound tried to shy away from the attack.
Falco, hearing his friend call out, provides a "Fly By Healing" granting Ayotnom some health back (24 points, very nice)
Beech, hearing Aytonom's cry for aid, spins and launches a deluge of arrows at HH2, which all smack hard into it's right side. Ayotnom hears it whimper as it collapses on the ground, its vile blood pouring out of it.
Mak, having seen Tsak get attacked and bitten, also launches a deluge of arrows at HH4, and it drops dead at Tsak's feet
Panzer catches HH3 by surprise and with one attack has it spilling out its lifeblood onto the ground
When the hound in front of Ayotnom see's its pack dying, it howls and charges at Ayotnom, who with a wicked grin, launches and attack that ends with the hound coughing up blood and dropping to the ground
The group looks around, but all the hounds are dead, and some are in pieces thanks to Panzer

As they walk a bit further down the rough trail, the group considers casting protections from acid, but has not done so just yet. But certainly feel free to cast what spells you want to, I just want to back things up a bit for you.
Consulting their map, DC 18 Survival or Knowledge Geography: Highlight to display spoiler: {You don't get lost. You'd guess you're maybe 2-3 hours from the spot on the map labeled "Acid Pits."}
As you continue on the trail it begins to rail. Not hard, but steady.

Beech is 30' above the center of the party, and when I figure we are 30 minutes out I'll cast the resists.... (Spells are already marked off) Beech will believe the others, he knows his sense of direction is garbage... But he also knows, that this time of the year is called Storm Season for a reason....
Tsak is on point. As they pass the rock shaped like a cats head he checks the map again, and puts it away just as the rain starts. Lads, we're on the right track and I reckon we've a few hours to go, 2 or 3 at the most. And this rain looks like its settling in, might last all day. I suspect the only thing worse than an acid pit is a swampy acid pit. Lets forge on for now, but we might not be exploring the pits today. He checks to see if anyone has a better idea, and if not turns to continue their bushwalk.

(Since you are 2-3 hours from the Acid Pits, I didn't want you to waste spell intended for that.)
Beech scans the area, flying 30' above his friends keeping a sharp eye out.
Tsak takes point, closely followed by Panzer. Holy moly, even in this rain Panzer's sharp eye can pick out a gnatt's, well, you know what.
Falco is next, his eye's sharp, followed by Mak.
The rain makes the trek a bit miserable, but the Petals are used to adversity and are undaunted.
Still, it's a surprise for some as 6 hellhounds, lying in wait, come scrambling from behind rocks and out of a cave to attack the party!
Tsak, Ayotnom, and Mak are surprised by the sudden attack. But not Beech, Falco nor Panzer.
(To simulate this surprise I'll give them 2 attacks against Tsak, Ayotnom, and Mak but only 1 against Panzer, Beech and Falco.)
These large hounds are powerfully built and terrible to behold with ebony fur and burning, fiery red eyes! Their fetid breath smells of sulfur.
HH1 bites Tsak, hitting AC 32 and 39 for 18+10(fire) and 22+7(fire).
HH2 bites at Panzer, hitting AC 37 for 23+10(fire).
HH3 runs under Beech and breaths up at him. Beech is engulfed in flame for 22 fire damage, Reflex DC 23 for half.
HH4 bites Ayotnom, hitting AC 25 and 29, which I think are both misses even flat footed?
HH5 breaths a gout of flame, affecting both Falco and Mak for 30 points of fire damage, Reflex DC 23 for half.
Then HH6 does the same, breathing fire on Falco and Mak for 29 points of fire damage, Reflex DC 23 for half.
Here is your map. Please move yourselves on the map, or let me know where you move to.

(OOC: At 2nd level, a duelist gains the ability to react to danger before her senses would normally allow her to do so. She cannot be caught flat-footed, nor does she lose her Dexterity bonus to AC if the attacker is invisible. She still loses her Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. A barbarian with this ability can still lose her Dexterity bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses the feint action against her. So since I don't lose Dex to AC I don't lose the Int based Dodge bonus either so you are correct)

Falco manages to dodge the worst of the flames {Reflex 38 and 38 - that is two Nat 20's!!

(These are bigger and nastier than your usual Hellhounds, but calling them Hellhounds will do for now.)
Ayotnom attacks HH2, slicing into the creature.
Tsak says, "Bad dog!" as he attacks. He makes a 5' move before hitting HH1 3 times.
Deftly avoiding the worst of the creature's breath, Beech lets fly a lightning bolt. The electricity jumps from HH4 to HH3 to HH1 to HH2, and though all three save, Beech can see beach jerk a bit at the electricity lances through them.
Panzer steps up and attacks HH2, hitting and biting the creature several times. He finds they taste bad. Perception DC 20: Highlight to display spoiler: {Panzer notices something strange. The hound he struck seems to have a resistance to the frost effect of his blade, and the frost did no damage..}
Mak rolls to dodge some of the effects of the breath weapons. Caught in two of them, his coat smolders in places. He shoots two arrows into HH5 and 6. His arrows protrude painfully from both animals.
Falco casts Blindness on HH5, but the creature shakes off the effect.
HH1 breathes a fiery blast, catching Tsak, Panzer and Ayotnom. They each take 32 damage, DC 23 Reflex save for half.
HH2 whimpers a bit and drags its hind foot as it backs up 5' from Panzer before breathing fire on Panzer and Ayotnom. Both take 32 damage, DC 23 Reflex save for half.
HH3 attacks Ayotnom, hitting AC 36 for 22 damage and 11 fire damage.
HH4 breathes a 30' cone of fire, catching both Beech and Ayotnom for 42 points of damage, DC 23 Reflex save for half.
HH5 and HH6 move up. HH5 bites Falco, hitting AC 38 for 25 and 7 fire damage.
HH6 bites Mak, hitting AC 30 for 23 and 5 fire damage.

Tsak anticipates the fireball but the pain radiating thru his hip from the last bite slows him down and the blast catches him. Gripping his sword tighter he stifles a cry, somehow stays on his feet and keeps raining blows on the blasted hound.

The blast catches Beech full force, he response is to move up higher. Gaining another 10' of height. Beech uses his bow to cast Cone of Cold, AE/28 is the square he hits and the AoE effects a straight line straight up the AE line and the Diagonal will be off to the east....

With the super hound on him so closely, Mak knew that using his bow would be a mistake. With a whispered word he summoned his sword (free action - glove of storing) into his primary hand and struck at the fiery canine. He ducked low and reposted at those slavering jaws as his rapier pierced the hounds defenses. His follow up strikes missed, but he felt confident that his defenses would hold better now that he was using his blade.

Tsak has taken a lot of damage, but still he fights on. He can feel the beast's sulphurous breath as he slashes at it, hitting three times.
Beech gets burnt, and climbs 10' higher to avoid another blast. Beech considers using an arrow to convey a Cone of Cold, but then realizes he could only catch one that way from where he is (please see my email about this.) Instead he simply casts a cone of cold downward, catching three of them. (This means he did not need to use an arrow or a Hero Point, and he would not get arrow damage. But he does damage all three. This seems like the best adjudication of this in the party's favor, since there was some confusion about Imbue Arrow and cones. Also, using a Holy bow does make your arrows holy, but a spell cast through your arrow would not become holy damage.) HH1 saves and only takes 26 cold damage, HH3 takes 51, and HH4 takes 51.
Panzer shouts they are resistant to cold as he dodges their fiery attacks. The fierce badger moves up a bit, striking back at the wounded beast before him. His first attack kills the thing and the red glow fades from the hound's eyes. (Panzer only made one attack. While Panzer cannot move again since he took a 5' move, he could take a move-equivalent action after his attack so long as it is not actual movement.)
Ayotnom also avoids the fiery breath damage. He uses a whirlwind attack, hitting three of the Hellhounds before taking a 5' step.
Mak summons his rapier and attacks. The slender blade flickers out, piercing the HH6.
Falco withdraws, flying up into the air.
With one of their number fallen, the remaining Hellhounds growl and snarl as they attack.
HH1 moves 5' and attacks Tsak, hits AC 28 for 22 damage plus 11 fire damage.
HH3 and HH4 move up 5' and attack Ayotnom, but both miss (hit AC 27 and 23.)
HH5 and HH6 attack Mak, but nothing can hit AC 45 (45 - wow.)
The breath weapon of these Hellhounds is a 30' cone.
Knowledge Planes DC 21:Highlight to display spoiler: {Based on Panzer noticing some frost resistance, as you look at the creatures, you notice a Fiendish aspect to them. This gives them Resist Cold 15, though they still have a vulnerability to cold because they are a variant Hellhound.

Beech gains another 10' in height, now 50' up, and then unleashes a stream of magic missiles at HH1.
Tsak isn't sure how many more bites he can withstand, but the sight of one of the hounds turning up its toes inspires him to redouble his efforts. In reality he doesn't know any other way but to go down fighting.

There's life in the old boy yet! exclaims Tsak as he casts a healing spell on himself and also gets a helping hand from Falco. He then quickly surveys the battlefield and starts to move into position to flank the hound nearest Ayotnom. He won't get there this turn, but he will get there...

Beech casts Glitterdust on HH4 and HH6. HH4 is blinded, but HH6 remains unaffected. But both of them shimmer with the coating of glitter.
Panzer charges to Mak's aid, hitting HH6. HH4 senses Panzer's move, but in its blinded state it only snaps at the air.
Tsak heals some of his wounds and moves up.
Ayotnom strikes at the blinded HH4, hitting it twice for 13 and 11 damage (AC goes down to 18, so one more blow hit. I rolled his damage.) Then he moves 5'.
Mak lashes out at HH6, and his blow kills the creature.
Falco shouts words of encouragement as he moves. He heals Ayotnom, Mak, Panzar and Falco for 23 points.
HH4 can sense where Ayotnom is, but only snaps at the air again as it tries to hit the Minotaur.
HH5 moves 5' and breathes fire. The 30 cone catches Ayotnom, Falco, Panzer and Mak. (Not sure how high Falco is, but he has to be low enough to catch all four in his 30' burst.) They each take 39 damage, DC 23 Reflex save for half.

Tsak can see the wolf near him is badly wounded and blind. He slices at the thing, striking a mortal wound. The HH4 lets out a yelp as it falls down dead.
Beech hovers above the battlefield, and shoots two arrows into HH5. Two shafts stick out of the beast as electricity crackles across its dark fur.
Ayotnom moves up and hits the last wolf.
Falco flies higher to avoid any more fire.
Panzer moves up to attack once with a devastating blow. But his hit also drains a level (5 HP damage.) (Rolled AAO against Panzer for last round - miss. Thanks for the reminder.)
They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast.
The wolf knows it's done for, but it also knows its opponents. It snarls something as it attacks the little badger man.

A satisfied Tsak watches as he skewers a vital organ and the hound falls dead. One to go. The hounds should have caught on by now, these fights keep on turning out and burning out and turning out the same! With a deep sigh and sword in hand he starts to make his way over to the surviving beast.

As the blows land on the beat Falco lands in the center of his party and calls forth some healing energy bathing everyone and closing many wounds. "I have had enough of this hellhound nonsense, almost looking forward to the acid part of our trip at this point."
DM Mark - Looking forward to the acid trip. Wednesday December 18th, 2024 2:26:58 PM
Tsak looks at the dead wolf, but he decides to take it to the limit one more time and heads to the last remaining wolf.
However, Beech beats him to it, hitting it with three arrows. As the shafts sink into the wolf, the red glow in its eye goes out. It snarls and dies.
Not wanting to be caught by surprise again, Mak uses his cloak. With a puff of smoke he teleports to another location. He draws his bow, ready for another onslaught.
Ayotnom and Panzer are ready to attack, but with no apparent opponents they instead scan the area for more trouble.
Falco positions himself to deliver a healing burst to his friends. Everyone is healed for 34 points. He says, "I have had enough of this hellhound nonsense, almost looking forward to the acid part of our trip at this point."
6 large wolves lay dead. The area smells of blood and sulfur and wet dog. All is suddenly quiet. Checking the wolves bodies, they neither wear nor carry anything.

Tsak takes Beech up on his offer. Sure, thanks mate. He then stands there not really knowing what to do with it. Is there a button, a magic word? He whacks his own arm with the wand and says the first thing that comes to mind Cayzle! When nothing happens he wanders over and tries the same thing on Mak's head (but not hard enough to break anything). Then he glares at the fighter You broke it! He hands the stick back to Beech with a mumbled apology.

Mak looks toward the dark tunnel nearby, but isn't going to venture there in his current state.
Panzer kisses his Ring of Evasion, and moves to peer into the tunnel. He and Ayotnom can see the tunnel goes about 50' in darkness before turning out of sight. The tunnel smells faintly of the wolves he just defeated.
Beech pulls out a Wand of Cure Ligtht Wounds. He heals himself before offering it to others. Tska takes the wand and whacks his arm with the wand. Nothing. Then he whacks Mak's head with the wand. This just annoys Mak. He decides that Mak must've broken the wand with his head. Mak is not amused, and points to several boo-boos, aside from the new ones on his head.
Falco tells everyone to stop using up the wand until he has a chance to do some healing. Then he cures everyone for 46 more points!
We are no longer in combat rounds. This place is a bit rocky and barren, aside from some scraggly vegetation growing here. There is a large, dark tunnel here.

Beech tucks the wand away. Highlight to display spoiler: { may as well use it, it'll be useless in 5e} He flies over to the cave and stays above the others until he drops down into place about 4th in line.... He'll let Panzer lead the group in, he likes being underground, while Beech prefers not being there....
Falco's latest bout of healing tops Tsak right up and he feels great. This feeling may or may not be partly due to whacking Mak in the head with a stick and seemingly getting away with it.
As Beech heads toward the cave Tsak picks up the pace and heads in himself. As he leaves the light behind and enters the cool dark his senses heighten and he concentrates on whats around him. Is it natural, are there seams, scratches, any signs of construction? A breeze? With his natural vision he can see quite a way (60') in the dark ahead of him. He goes slowly and carefully, not wanting any bad surprises.

The Petals head warily into the dark tunnel as Ayotnom conjures light on his rapier. Well, warily until Panzer decides to light heartedly skip down the dank tunnel. Everyone follows.
While the darkness extended for a ways, the Petals soon find that the tunnel runs about 40'-50' in before opening out into a large chamber about 100' in diameter. This was clearly a den for more than a dozen of those awful hellhounds. It is a rank, fetid place that smells of death and sulfur. The area is unnaturally warm, though not uncomfortably so, with fissures here and there venting some sort of geothermal heat.
Inside you find the bones of several deer and liontaurs. There seems to be things scattered among the bones, though it will take some time to sort through what's there (1 hour to collect all the following.)
50 gold bars, each worth 120gp
5 platinum bars, each worth 200pp
6 cabochon cut large pieces of amber – each contains a piece of plant material – each worth 125gp
12oz cup, thin beaten gold, lip ringed by 12 tiny emeralds, chased and embossed in rings of abstract pattern (6250gp)
Fancy-Ball mask – half-mask of black velvet backed by wyvern hide leather. I’s lower edge is trimmed with 16 tiny teardrop citrines, and 6 larger citrines – 3 each under each eye (1200gp)
High Society glove, right hand, softened green leather. The embroidery covering it is curving designs of flowers, with each bud decoreated by white pearls, peridots, rock crystals, and a large opal in the center (2850gp)
Wrapped in silks – an Ankus (beast goad) – gold plated meteoric metal, with a hook at one end. The other end is capped with a square faceted ruby (6” across) (9300gp)
A fire-blacked oak staff shod with meteoric steel. The head, carved of the same metal, is a fanged serpent with rubies for eyes (A fire-blacked oak staff shod with meteoric steel. The head, carved of the same metal, is a fanged serpent with rubies for eyes. (+5, shocking burst weapon.)
A tall beer stein, made of pewter set into golden frame with large handle. Decorative panels depict dwarven hunters on boars chasing several large stags. (Reskinned Stone of Goodluck])
A heavy ring of red-gold, beaten and shaped into a knuckle long coil, that resembles a miniature snake curled around the wearers finger. Two tiny rubies are set as the eyes (Major Ring of Energy Resistance - Acid)
A mithral sickle with a gold-plated handle. The handle is worked into the configuration of a many-leaved branch (+2 flaming burst sickle)
