Prev: Draugh Empire, Part 2: Sands of History

gametime June 3 1236 AD (morning)

Surprisingly, the night is uneventful. You hear shouts from armed patrols, but they soon seem distracted by something and ignore the camp.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I'll need Will Saves from Everyone. DC 18 or be spooked.
Vegeta failed a reflex save and took some electric damage from a pylon
Nidranisan:
Nidranisan : Will
Save	7
Cat: awwwwww yeah.
i should pretty much just give up and pretend i'm not here every time chad asks for a saving throw.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): lolz.
Cat: c'mon chad, you know you wanna.
fake roll it, man. i wanna see the 20.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): After resting, Hawk is at 24/27 HP, Vegeta 31/33, Claire 29/32
Everyone else is at full health.
15
Sorry Cat.
Cat: woo! i would've lost anyway!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Well, that was a raw d20
Assuming you had +2 Will, you would have made it
Cat: aaaaah right.
NEVER MIND YOU'RE AWFUL. ;)
The winds have picked up and it has been overcast. It looks like your destination is in the direction of the storm.
George:
Hawk Hubertins : Will
Save	10
Yup, hawk is spooked again.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): 3Spooky5me
I mean, 2spooky4me
Cat: the universe is taking revenge for saturday.
George: Inflationary language?
Cat: lolz.
George: (If you're not familiar, it's a famous VIctor Borge bit)
Cat: (which is worth searching on youtube like, immediately.)
Vegeta: Sayan Willpower!! 23
[Nidri] any clue what these things are? [points at the loot list]
Nidranisan:
Nidranisan : Detect Magic
Level Oracle 0
Duration 1 min/lvl
Saving Throw N/A
Cat: i'll throw out a few spellcraft checks if any of it is actually magic.
maybe chad can just go down the list in order :)
Nidranisan:
Nidranisan : Spellcraft
Check	30
Nidranisan : Spellcraft
Check	14
Nidranisan : Spellcraft
Check	29
Cat: kinda guessing the map isn't magic.
probably good on the sleeves and the robe if they are...less on the headband :)
Fi:
Fi : Will
Save	17
Chris: Oh! come on!
Haven't made any of these.
Hernz: lol
realtime 12/15 8:17 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Nidri identifies the Sleeves of Many Garments, but she's not sure about the other items.
Claire's Will Save 7
I think roll20 had an update this morning that broke your character sheets.
Everyone but the Sayan and the Wolf feel dominating paranoia following their every move.
As the party continues their travels, they soon notice the sand and wind picks up around them.
They soon find themselves stuck in a sandstorm.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I'll need a DC 20 Survival check. One of you should lead and the others can follow.
Er, the others can aid.
George: Hawk is unlikely to be able to even be able to help.
Hernz: Fi should lead as he's best at this... veg will support
Vegeta: Survival of the fittest 19
George: He'll try to help.
Hawk Hubertins:
Hawk Hubertins : Survival
Check	8
Cat: my survival is +5...i vote highest bonus leads.
Nidranisan:
Nidranisan : Survival
Check	13
Cat: what all was actually magical?
Hernz: I have a +6... if Fi's is higher, he can lead
even though technically we've made it with veg and your assist.. but we always go by highest bonus
Fi:
Fi : Survival
Check	18
Chris: Fi's at +9 after the -2 penalty.
Fleir:
Fleir : Survival
Check	14
Hernz: we got a 24 total... woot!
Cat: oh yeah -2. forgot about that.
i still make 10 tho :)
realtime 12/17, 6:50 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Fi manages to navigate his way through the storm.
Oh, what's next? 3
The wind picks up and cuts down on visibility. Fi spots a cave en route where they can seek shelter.
Unfortunately, the cave seems to be home of territorial Scorpions.
 

Battle! vs Scorpion Cave

(GM) Chad S. (GM): I'll need initiative, people.
Fi:
Fi : Knowledge-Nature
Check	22
Fi : Initiative
Check	5.03
Fleir:
Fleir : Initiative
Check	23.03
Chris: lol
Cat:
Nidranisan : Initiative
Check	15
er, maybe -2 that? if applicable?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You know what Scorpions are. They are poisonous.
Initiative is a Dex check, so you take the -2 penalty
They are vermin. The giant scorpions have reach 10 feet.
Feel free to shuffle your initial positions at the cave entrance.
Cat: ooooh swarm.
that'll be fun.
Chris: Are the rocks in the middle cover providing?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): They provide soft cover.
Chris: ... I don't think that's what you meant.
normal or partial?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): partial
Chris: Unless the rocks are moving around?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): With tiny feet sticking out?
It's the Scooby Gang, hiding from the monster
Chris: hah
Watch out for Freddy's traps.
Hawk Hubertins:
Hawk Hubertins : Initiative
Check	15
Vegeta: Initialize Battul Protocol: 14
Hernz: have we been rested since the last battul?
Chris: Yes, that's why we had to make new fear saves.
Cat: so, can claire light the swarm on fire? :)
Hernz: are attacks on swarms... so probably
but if she doesn't kill them, auto hit I think
Chris: I think that the swarm is probably going to be immune to physical attacks, but take extra damage from area attacks.
Can't be targeted by limited target spells either.
Meghan:
Claire : Initiative
Check	4.01
Maybe they're friendly scorpions
Hernz: I think they take damage from physical attacks if they're tiny or bigger.. but not fine or diminutive
Meghan: I have burning hands and pearl of brilliance
Chris: Scorpions are pretty tiny.
Meghan: burning hands is 15' cone and pearl of brilliance is splash damage
Hernz: protect Claire!
realtime 12/18 10:52 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Rolling for Hawk's init 19
Chris: He already rolled.
So should I have Fi check if their friendly?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The scorpions are pretty hostile.
Scorpion Init 2
And slow to react
Hernz: lol
Round 1
(GM) Chad S. (GM): So you guys move before the Scorpions do.
By the way, is everyone's character sheet OK? Roll20's last update seemed to break the AC calculations.
Hernz: i never updated mine... I'm all for spreadsheets cause monk AC is a pain to calc with all my crap
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah I know, lol
Chris: seems ok.
Vegeta: [claire] think you can armor me up before we charge?
Fi: I think her spells are more useful in dealing with the swarm right now. I doubt those giant ones could touch you without it anyway.
Chris: What's your AC without it? mid 20's?
Hernz: 21... I ditch defense for offense now
Chris: still somewhat useful. How many spells you got there Claire?
Meghan: 8
maybe I should've held on to the wand
I also have a necklace of fireballs
Chris: ...
Hernz: a few area spells will kill them...
Meghan: type I
1 6d6, 2 4d6, and 2 2d6
Hernz: veg will move 30... if you want to use spell, feel free... if not, he'll deal

Vegeta powers up [12 ki left]
Hernz: forgot I had barkskin
Chris: I would estimate needing an expected damage output from 6d6 with area affect bonus to take out the swarm.
Vegeta: aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Meghan: ...
oh man
I'm just going ot huck a fireball at them and clear them out, aren't I?
The two giant scorpions are kinda far apart. if they get closer together, I can get them both. wonder what their move is...
Vegeta POWAHS UP, keeping his shirt on in the process.
Meghan: plan is to use one of the 4d6 fireballs and then a couple of burning hands to take them out
Hernz: haha, just saw the name of the enemy on the turn order lol
Chris: yup. It's scorpion.
Fi: /me casts Ironskin on Fleir
Fi : Ironskin
Effects/Target you
Duration 5 minutes
Chris: Well, that macro doesn't do what it's supposed to anymore...
Fi protects Fleir using Elven Wood Magic (TM)
Meghan: boo
it's different now and that's bad
(the macro)

Fleir advances and goes total defense.
Hernz: oh yeah, you can do that... totally forgot...

Vegeta prepares to brace the incoming attacks
Chris: lol
Hernz: wait, can you do that on a round you cast? no, right?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Total Defense is a standard action

Vegeta does not brace after all... he fears nothing

Claire hucks one of the 4d6 fireballs from her necklace at the scorpion swarm. It catches Scorpion A as well.
Claire: rolling 4d6
(

)
= 14
Meghan: and the swarm takes 1.5xdamage, right? so 21 to the swarm, 14 to scorp A, save for half reflex 14
Cat: nidri can help armor ppl
well, a little at least.
anyone want +2 deflection bonus?
or magic weapon (+1 attack/damage, applicable to monk, doesn't stack w/masterwork)
Hernz: you know veg loves them +1s ;)
Cat: yeah, if no one else wants a shield of faith, i'd drop magic weapon on him, except i can't reach heh.
Hernz: you could have gone before he moved... I was waiting on claire too.. just didnt want to delay my move until everyone logged onn :)
Cat: just need to know where i'd be standing then, where did he start?
Chris: Two squares to your right. I think it was Nidri, Claire, Vegeta, Fleir in front.
Cat: /em casts Magic Weapon on Vegeta!
Targets/Area: weapon touched
Magic weapon gives a weapon a +1 enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls. An enhancement bonus does not stack with a masterwork weapon's +1 bonus on attack rolls.
Duration: 1 min/lvl
You can't cast this spell on a natural weapon, such as an unarmed strike (instead, see magic fang). A monk's unarmed strike is considered a weapon, and thus it can be enhanced by this spell.
Cat: awwww yeah, macro fail. :)
y'all knew what i meant tho
realtime 12/19, 8:51 pm
Claire grabs a bead from her necklace and throws it at the scorpions.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Swarm's Reflex Save 23
Scorpion A's Reflex Save 2
Most of the Swarm scatters out of the way of the flames, but the large Scorpion takes the full brunt of the blast.
Nidri enhances Vegeta's weapons.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Waiting for Hawk.

George is activating his Bard ability, Inspire Courage +2
George: +2 morale bonus to attack, damage, and save vs fear & charm
Inspire Courage +2 uses remaining: 18
Note: Effect lasts for 2 rounds after song has ended.

Meghan: stupid reflex save
realtime 12/20, 8:41 am
Hawk inspires his allies to fight!
The swarm scuttles forward, revealing the skeletal remains of some kind of small humanoids.
The Giant Scorpions quickly scuttle forward. Scorpion B is fast enough to snap at Fleir.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Scorpion B snaps at Fleir, hitting AC 15 for 5 damage. It grabs Fleir at CMD 22
Cat: sure, now chad is gonna grapple all of US as revenge.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): ...and then you realize this isn't a cave, it's a giant Rhemoraz's mouth
NOM NOM NOM
Chris: Gah!
Cat: at least this time we brought the healer? :)
Two more scorpions emerge from the ground.
Cat: awwww yeah.
Round 2
Cat: infinite xp machine, here we come!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Note the scorpions have 10 ft reach.
Chris: Ok. Time to block the big ones and clear a path for burning hands.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Er, the giant ones
Cat: yeaaaaah.
claire needs to be pretty well within reach to burning hands.
or i guess hit B and the swarm and have fleir run all the way around the rock.
which would provoke.
this is gonna be a meta-shuffle, is what i'm saying. :)
Chris: Fleir can probably intentionally provoke moving up anyway. She doesn't have full around attacks yet.
Cat: yeah, i think claire kinda wants to be one square below fleir to get a good burning hands.
that or some sort of crazy diagonal aim. :)
Chris: Well, that spot doesn't provoke from the giants yet.
Something like that?
Cat: yeah, that's what i'm thinking.
Chris: how do you drive this thing?
Cat: lol
Chris: there
Cat: ok. well, when meghan hops online, you can give her our suggestion :)
if no one gets splattered by an AOO for any weird reasons, nidri's gonna armor up and catch up with the party.
but i wanna wait and see if any healz are needed first.

let's try it to see....

Vegeta: Crit Dmg (blunt): +14 || +12
Special 1: Total the damage from all attacks before applying DR. Attacks treated as Magic.
Special 2: If hit by first hit, Fort save DC 18 or be stunned for 1 round
Hernz: come on STUN! I don't think it's ever worked lol

Vegeta has 11 ki left
Hernz: oh, just realized he might just outright die... no stun lol
Meghan: 30 ft radius...
no, 20 ft radius
this looks like a job for ... another fireball.
this time it'll get scopb B too
Hernz: cant wait till you get lvl 3 spells :)
Meghan: totally getting fireball when I do
hey, maybe the xp from these things will get us there
Hernz: maybe when we get to the merki spot and unveil critical plotline
Meghan: rolling 4d6

ugh
Hernz: how many of those beads do you have?

Claire hucks another 4d6 fireball a little bit north of the scorpion swarm, catching scorpion A and B but not Fleir in its blast.
Meghan: 1 6d6 and 2 2d6 left
Reflex 14 for half
1.5 * damage on swarm puts it at 18
burnings hands up next, but that requires me to be a little closer
Hernz: should you have moved maybe one more block away from veg? not sure if a swarm can attack us both otherwise?
Meghan: So I actually want to be at least 10 ft away from you
yeah
more like there
Hernz: (scorpions chuck a fireball at us)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): No stun for hernz
Vegeta hopes he stuns the Giant Scorpion, but instead he squishes it.
Meghan: those fuckers.
Claire plucks off another bead from her necklace and throws it at the vermin.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Swarm Reflex 25
Scorpion B's Reflex 6
Chris: ...
The giant scorpion is scorched utterly.
Meghan: god damn it
burning hands it is.
That swarm seems to be cognizant of area of effect attacks.
Meghan: if it envelops you, guys, I'm sorry. but I'mma burn it
Cat: hah luckily, i can heal from afar now ;)

Cat casts Guidance on Hawk!
Cat: Duration: 1 minute. Take +1 on a single attack roll, saving throw, or skill check (choose before you roll)

Damage Result: 3
Crit: 20/x3
Crit Confirm: 12
Crit Damage: +7
Hawk Hubertins: Type: P
Chris: Did you forget your own bard song +2 to damage?
Nidri uses divine energies to grant Hawk's aim as he shoots the far away scorpion.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Giant Scorpion D charges at Fleir, hitting AC 14 for 7 damage. Will try to grab vs 21 CMD
Scorpion Swarm climbs all over Hawk and Vegeta, dealing 6 damage
I need 2 Fort Saves from Vegeta and Hawk: DC 15 vs Poison and DC 14 vs Distraction.
Err, they are both DC 15.
Round 3
(GM) Chad S. (GM): If you fail your Fort Save you are nauseated for 1 round.
Chris: Scorpion D seems too far away to hit Fleir. Is it actually closer?
George: Yes, the +2 bardsong damage appears to have been missed by my macro.
So scorpion C should have 2 more damage from Hawk's arrow.
Vegeta: Fort 1: 16
Fort 2: 12
Hernz: no poison at least
so nauseated I can't attack or cast... can I activate ki as a swift action?
thinking of moving up 3 blocks, which would provoke from C, so if I can activate my swift I'd increase my dodge AC...
Chris: If Veg is nauseated from distraction, he can only use one move action this round and nothing else.
George:
Hawk Hubertins : Fortitude
Save	11
Hawk Hubertins:
Hawk Hubertins : Fortitude
Save	15
George: Ok, so Hawk is poisoned but not distracted?
Hernz: yup...
ok, then made my move... provoked an AOO from C... but at least it leaves claire a clean shot at the swarm
AC 23 chad
Meghan: Ok, so Claire isn't moving and is going to queue up a burning hands for right in front of her, facing the swarm, after Hawk gets out of the way
I would suggest no one else get in the way of it, too
It gets Giant scorpion C, too.
realtime 12/20 8:10pm
Vegeta isn't nauseated by the scorpions, he just wants the other party members to have a chance to shine. Yeah, that's it.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Giant Scorpion's AoO 7
The Giant Scorpion swipes at a rock in reaction to Vegeta's movement.
Hawk takes 1 Str and 1 Dex damage from the poison.
but he isn't distracted.
Chris: Chad, 2 things from the history: 1) George forgot a +2 on his crossbow damage, so C should have taken 5 from him. 2) D seems to be in the wrong place to have attacked Fleir.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I added 2 damage to George's damage.
Also, you're right about Scorpion D. I'll say it didn't make an AoO, otherwise Vegeta's position would make no sense.
George: Short bow, not crossbow. (Why does everyone think Hawk has a crossbow?)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I know it's a shortbow...
Cat: if hawk can 5', he can come over here next to me so i can heal him and he's out of claire's cone... :)
Chris: Because short bows are uncool. Everyone knows that X and Long are cooler.
Cat: yeah, except mine. my crossbow, while masterwork, is decided uncool.
Chris: No, It's cool. That's extra character.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Long Crossbow X would be cool
Or is that a talent art?
Chris! Xenoblade won't end!
"Battle Arena"? R U Serious?
Chris: Haha. I forgot about how convoluted all that was.

Chris: Those are both +1 with Fleir there.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Did you include the +1?
Chris: no. It's hard to handle that many mods at once.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): It's fine.
One of Fi's arrows sinks into the scorpion, while the other bounces off.
Meghan: do you want me to roll damage from the burning hands now or wait until Hawk gets out of the way?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The range on burning hands is 15 ft, right? You're 20 ft away from the Scorpion.
If you 5ft in front of the swarm... uh
Goddamit cones
Wait a sec...
I think Claire can 5ft N and burn the scorpion and the swarm without friendly fire
So Claire can move and cast now.

Hawk Hubertins stops singing.
Hawk Hubertins: I'm starting to fweel little woozy.
George: Hawk withdraws from the swarm
Is he now at -3 to str and dex?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): -2
Double poison just resets the timer
George: Oh. Ok.
Chris: You also don't need to use a real withdraw.
George: Meh, he's just moving away and sitting down.
So what, he loses 1 point of each every round until he saves or the timer is up?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Oops, good point. I did that wrong, but the net effect doesn't matter.
You get a Fort Save every round
George: Ok.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): But you failed the second swarm sting, so it's the same net effect.
George: Well, he failed the fort save again anyway, so it'll keep ticking.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah. Next round though you and Nidri should make Fort Saves
George: K.

Vegeta has 10 ki left

Vegeta squishes the last scorpion, while Claire burns the rest of the swarm away.
Combat Over
 

Sheeva, the source of the storm

 
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Rolling Fort Saves for Hawk and Nidri:
Hawk 19 18 15 22
Nidri 5 7 21 4
(I assumed Nidri would cast Guidance on herself.)
Hawk manages to fend off the poison, while Nidri takes half a minute or so to fight it off.
So Hawk took -2 and Nidri took -1.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Just noticed her Fort Save.
Hawk and Nidri have taken Strength and Dexterity damage from Scorpion Poison.
Hawk -2, Nidri -1
While waiting for the wind outside to die down, the party looks around the cavern.
They find several goblinoid sized corpses in various states of decay. Small scorpions climb around the carrion.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): See the "Loot in the Scorpion Cave" handout
Tell me when you guys have healed up.

Cat casts Cure Light on Nidri!
Cat: heal 12 HPs.

Cat casts Cure Light on Hawk!
Cat: heal 11 HPs.
Chris: Should Fi heal Vegeta, or does Nidri have that covered?
Cat: if we expect the possibility of another fight today, it might be good for Fi to.
though i do have a reasonable number of spells left
Meghan: /em is healing Claire with Heavenly Fire Healing
Healing Result: 6
Type: healing
Notes: Only heals good creatures. Ray. Use up to 8 per day.
Heavenly Fire Healing uses remaining: 0
actually 7 remaining
Fi:   /em casts Cure Light Wounds on Vegeta.
Healing: 12
Saving Throw: DC 14, Will half; Spell Resistance: Yes
realtime 12/22 12:44 pm
The party quickly recovers, and grabs the loot from the Scorpion nest.
The Sandstorm dies down enough to venture outside, although it's still blinding.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I'll need a Survival Check, DC 22. One of you leads, the others assist.
Chris: I guess Fi will lead.
Fi:
Fi : Survival
Check	10
Chris: Amazing as always.
Fleir:
Fleir : Survival
Check	20
Fi: Good girl.
Chris: Now we just need a 20 from Vegeta and a 10 from everyone else.
At least the one thing that Fi can't screw up is direction.
Vegeta: survivings 23
Hernz: just for you chris :) lol
Meghan:
Claire : Survival
Check	3
sorry.
Chris: Oh well...
Meghan: now you need a 20 from each of nidri and hawk?
Chris: yup
Meghan: welp. good luck
if we fail, know I fucked it up
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Hawk has a -1 to Survival, so...
realtime 12/23 7:55 am
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Nonlethal Damage 3
Fi thinks she sees a clearing, but the winds pick up significantly and turn the party around. Battered by the strong winds, the party returns to the scorpion cave
(GM) Chad S. (GM): where a dozen emperor scorpions do not attack because they don't exist
So make another survival check.
Vegeta: survivings 9
Hernz: all you Fi lol
Vegeta: I can't see a thing with all this damn sand!
Fi:
Fi : Survival
Check	15
Chris: ... Well, a 6 is better than a 1.
Fleir:
Fleir : Survival
Check	15
Chris: I'm clearly rolling these in the wrong order.
Fi: I hate sand.
Chris: Just need a 10 from everyone else again...
Cat:
Nidranisan : Survival
Check	7
NOPE!
welcome to a lovely pile of nopenopenope. :)
George: And Hawk has a -2 from the last failed save too, right?
So...
Hawk Hubertins:
Hawk Hubertins : Survival
Check	9
Cat: aaah yeah i keep forgetting that -2
isn't there a status that actually applies that properly?
George: Is there?
Anyway, sounds like we're boned.
Cat: what. failing survival checks in D&D games never causes problems!
...at least we're not steering with UMD ;)
Hernz: lol
more subdual damage!
Cat: should i just leave like 8 survival checks?
and chad can just burn them in order? :)
Hernz: lol, good idea!
Vegeta: surviving 3: [[1d20+6]
surviving 3: [[1d20+6]}
Hernz: DOH! lol
Vegeta: surviving 3: 15
surviving 4: 26
surviving 5: 18

(GM) Chad S. (GM): 17
Hmm, I think that's everyone but Claire. And you're 5 away.
Nonlethal damage 3
Chris: The fear status applies that to the skill and attack rolls correctly (but not saves)
Another hour of wandering through the desert leads to...the same damn scorpion cave.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Care to try again, Fi? Vegeta will help!
Cat:
Nidranisan : Survival
Check	8
...nidri won't!
Fi:
Fi : Survival
Check	20
Who got grease on the map?

Vegeta (GM) wipes away the smudge
Fi cleans enough gunk on the map to notice a small pit that should serve as a shelter from the winds and sand.
As the party reaches their destination, the wind seems to die down. They can clearly see the sands on the other side, swirling around.
If this were a storm, they would be in the eye of it.
Chris: It's the eye of the tig... oh nevermind.
As they reach the core of the pit, the party sees periodic gouts of flame shoot into the sky, disperse, and enter the sandstorm.
The source of the flame becomes very clear: A serpentine humanoid is spitting flames into the very sky!
Cat: lolz.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You can make Knowledge(Planes) or Knowledge(Nature) checks to identify it.
Fi:
Fi : Knowledge-Nature
Check	14
Chris: back to crappy rolls.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): At least you made the roll that advanced the plot
Chris: yeah with a whopping 11 on the die.
Cat:
Nidranisan : Knowledge-Planes
Check	22
Chris: THX
Fi: That's no salamander...
Please don't tell me this is another of the sisters.
The salamander seems to alternate between spitting fire into the sky and shadow boxing.
Cat: uhhhh
why do we find all the wacky stuff? :)
oh yeah, PC glow.
Nidranisan: So, she's...kinda fire...but also kinda earth.
is she actually causing that stupid storm we've been wandering around in for like DAYS?
Cat: (i know, not really days.)
Fi: Well, based on the location and what I know of storms... I would say yes.
Nidranisan: ...why is she causing that stupid storm?
Fi: Maybe it's fun?
Sheeva suplexes a huge boulder
Fi: Some kind of training?
Nidranisan: anyone wanna ask?
Chris: Must resist urge to have Fi suggest that Vegeta challenges it.
Cat: lolz. and i was gonna say "Veg! sense motifs!"
(GM) Chad S. (GM): If she has noticed you, she hasn't reacted yet, so feel free to figure out how you want to approach this.
Cat: i support trying the social route.
sense motif/diplo/etc.
i also support slash key abuse, apparently.
Fi: I vote that we politely ask if she could take a break so that we may have some time to get to our destination without getting swept away.
And if that doesn't work, Vegeta can challenge her.
Vegeta: something tells me your way will fail... sense motifs 29
Chris: Locke says that she has big punching hands, and that we are going to need to beat her up.
Hernz: btw, if there's indication sheeva is hostile, veg would suggest claire buff him... she looks like she can hit
hahahaha, exactly!
Vegeta: ok, back to baking
Fi: Is that you call it nowdays?
realtime 12/24 8:21 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Vegeta notes that Sheeva has already noticed the party and seems to be waiting on their reaction. She seems to be the type who reacts to physical prowess.
Cat: great, anyone take that feat? hah.
realtime 12/25 10:14 am (Christmas Edition?)
Vegeta: on second thought, let me try first...

Vegeta approaches a large rock near Sheeva and punches it to demonstrate his physical prowess
Vegeta: Hawk, sing Eye of the Tiger
  /me Pummels Vegeta, concentrating all his attacks in one area.
Attack Results: 28 || 16
(Needs 32 on either hit to crit.)
Damage(blunt): 13 || 16
Vegeta: Crit Confirm: 31 || 15
Crit Dmg (blunt): +16 || +16
Special 1: Total the damage from all attacks before applying DR. Attacks treated as Magic.
Special 2: If hit by first hit, Fort save DC 18 or be stunned for 1 round
Hernz: So Veg does 29 damage in one hit to the rock (assumign Hawk does Eye of the Tiger)... 8 hardness means 21 HP damage to rock

Vegeta has 9 ki left
realtime 12/26 9:08 am
Vegeta does what he does best: Hit something really hard. The salamander looks on, intrigued.
Sheeva: Haha! Well done, Saiyan Prince! I heard many stories of your strength and superiority. General Bardocks's last stand was legendary.
I see you brought your friends, too: The elf, the wolf, the singer, and the heaven and hell-touched.
Petal Rose is quite chatty, and told me you would approach.
This is one of my favorite places to train. Plenty of rocks to smash. The Empire doesn't bother me out here unless Serra is out for blood.
...did you come here to spar?
Sheeva grins
Cat: That's not training, that's...
uh...
really...bad...geology?
(i'm not really contributing here.)
(also, do we know who Serra is?)
Hernz: do we think sparring means real fighting to the death or just friendly? can I do a sense motive on that?
Vegeta: sense motifs 32
realtime 12/27 8:26 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Vegeta senses that like all proud warriors, Sheeva wants to go all out, but she thinks of it more like a boxing match than a fight to the death.
You have no idea who Serra is.
No wait!
Petal Rose: Huh? Oh, yeah my sister. Lightning. Angel. Freaky coat. You can't miss her.
Yes, tiefling. My sister Serra works with the army. Well, she works for the queen directly. Not sure if that's part of the army.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Petal Rose spoke of Serra briefly.
Cat: so, really, she just wants to beat him into unconsciousness.
is this a "pick your champion" boxing match? do we get to prep him? ;)
i get the sense petal rose has a bunch of sisters and this might be another one.
George: So Hawk can sing, and can cast as a part of the song in a way that's actually difficult to detect as casting vs. singing.
Sound like a plan for a TI or a GI?
Chris: Also, Fi's immediate reaction upon seeing her was "Please don't tell me this is another of the sisters."
Hernz: veg can do all subdual damage... smething tells me armor would be needed against her lol
realtime 12/28 1:45 pm
Vegeta gauges whether he should fight Sheeva or not. Sheeva, for her part looks at the party.
Sheeva: So, is this a one-on-one match, or are these allies getting involved? Let us fight honorably, yes? Do not worry about our injuries- I'll handle that afterward.
Sheeva cracks her knuckles. Her skin turns redder than before.
Cat: up to veg what he wants to do.
Vegeta: A fight between true warriors...
[to the party] stay out of this

Hernz powers up

Vegeta powers up... ahem
  

Duel! Vegeta vs Sheeva

 
Vegeta has 8 ki left
Vegeta: init 21

nice init tho ;)

Vegeta assumes defensive stance... ladies first
Cat: otherwise known as, lets figure out how much trouble we're in :)
Hernz: lol
realtime 12/28 9:11 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Sheeva's Init 12
It sounds like Vegeta and Sheeva will have a one on one. Unless anyone wants to interfere, I'll put this on auto pilot.
Sheeva: I knew it! I'll keep it even.
Vegeta keeps his defenses up and waits patiently for Sheeva to approach.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Sheeva's tail hits AC 10
Round 2
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Vegeta pummels, hitting AC 25 and 23
Hits for 9 and 10 damage
Sheeva is stunned if she fails a DC 18 Fort Save 22
The flames burn Vegeta, dealing 7 damage
Sheeva attacks 3 times hitting AC 12 8 22

Round 5
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Vegeta pummels, hitting AC 22 and 24
Hits for 14 and 14 damage
Sheeva is stunned? 14

Vegeta quickly stuns Sheeva yet again, taking a few more burns.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Vegeta pummels, hitting AC 13 and 31
Vegeta confirms hitting AC 30
Hits for 21 damage
With a mighty uppercut, Vegeta knocks Sheeva out.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): (And used 4 stunning attempts)
  

Talking more to Sheeva

 
Sheeva recovers consciousness within a minute or so.
Sheeva: Ha. Ha. Ha...Good. Good! I knew you Saiyans were tough! I expected no better from you.
Sheeva breathes warm flames around Vegeta. Bathed in the warm wind, Vegeta feels his wounds close.
Sheeva: Now then...what did you want to talk about?

Cat sports-caster-izes the whole fight from the peanut gallery.
Cat: so yeah, is this where we mumble something about where we're trying to go and ask her to kindly let us get there?
Hernz: lol, fyi, the defensive fighting was only the first round... she would have hit me once on that last 28
but one hit wouldn't have done him in with the damage he had taken, so no biggie

Vegeta smirks
Vegeta: that's quite a punch you pack... not bad

Vegeta has 3 ki left
Fi: Ah yes. We were just trying to reach a cave nearby, but this sandstorm was making it a bit difficult navigate.
realtime 12/29 6:53 pm
Sheeva catches her breath.
Sheeva: Hmm? Yes, I was training as usual when I noticed a large army of goblins roaming this desert.
They seemed to be led by an Iron Giant of some kind- very impressive. Crackling with lightning.
Some of the Goblins tried to fight me- foolish. But I knew I couldn't stop them all.
I don't know what they are looking for. But I know how to slow them down.
...Circe is good for something, I guess.
Sheeva shrugs
Fi: Goblins with an Iron Giant? Did they get one of Magmere's golems? Or did Magmere recruit the goblins...
Or maybe a golem found a way to bypass it's submissive programming and is rounding up the goblins to revolt against its former masters? Nah...
Anyway, Circe? Are the two of you making this storm or are you stalling them until she arrives?
Nidranisan: Seriously? her again?
Hernz: btw, we have all this loot if you want to make ID checks Cat :)
realtime 12/30 8:28 pm
Sheeva: Circe isn't working with me. She's probably wasting time on a magic show or racking up debt again.
Well, I can fight them, but I don't know why they're here. Usually I put up a storm and people are smart enough to leave, but.
They're persistent. And so are you.
George: So we're dead, right?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You guys are fine (although Hawk is still poisoned)
Cat: which loot?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): "Loot from the Scorpion Cave"?
Hmm, no all of that's ordinary
Cat: and there was some i missed from the previous set...just lemme know how many checks to roll ;)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Right, "Loot from the Magmere Factory"
Cat: maybe tag the things that are magic so i know how many checks :)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Updated
Cat: huh i missed the headband and the robe? i thought i only had one crap roll.
Nidranisan:
Nidranisan : Spellcraft
Check	26
Nidranisan : Spellcraft
Check	27
Cat: well, if that doesn't do it, sorry folks :)
Hernz: nice rolls!
but yeah, the fact that your 22 or whatever missed it maybe means... it's a big item!! lol
Fi: Ok, that's what I expected. I just wasn't sure why you brought her up. I guess just for dealing with lightning golems.
So, do you want help dealing with this army? Perhaps dealing with the golem will disperse the rest of them.
realtime 12/31, 5:47 pm
Nidri identifies the headband, but not the robe.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The headband is Dead Man's Headband (CL 1)
The Identify spell gives a +10 to Spellcraft checks when identifying magic items...looks like that's your only hope here
Sheeva: I guess so. I'll start hunting goblins, then. The sandstorm should clear up in a few hours. Maybe you should go after the golem. Vegeta could maybe handle it on his own, haha.
Cat: yeah, i don't have that spell heh
Jan 1, 2016 11:44 am
Happy New Year!
Cat: woooooo
ok, that headband is...silly.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Random treasure rolls rock!
Cat: the sleeves are pretty funny.
i kinda feel like claire or fi needs those :)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Claire will love those sleeves, haha
I see what you mean about Fi, though.
Cat: claire will want it. fi probably won't but should ;)
after all, that hat.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): "What do I wear?" "Eh, just try different costumes until one works."
Cat: so what exactly does a "competence bonus" stack with?
i think my feat actually gives a racial bonus to intimidate...the doofy headband probably stacks with it.
because what nidri really needs is...more intimidate.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I see Nidri has: 4 Cha + 5 Ranks + 5 Racial vs Humanoids
The headband would stack with that
Cat: yup.
maybe i'll keep that one. :)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Why does the Char Sheet say +12, though?
Cat: failed save this morning
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Oh, OK
Cat: i checked the checkbox for whatever status that is that applies the -2
wait, i'm missing a skill rank again.
arrrrgh.
and...all my class skills seem to have gone away?
go me.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah, they are all unchecked
You might want to correct that
One of Roll20's updates borked these character sheets
Agh they were checked when I wasn't looking
Cat: yeah, i know the char sheet got doofy, the recalc checkbox fixed most of it.
i just didn't notice losing all the checkboxes on the class thing...it's fixed now.
those spellcraft rolls should've had +3...dunno if that gets the robe
(GM) Chad S. (GM): A 30...uh one sec...
Nope, you need > 30 Spellcraft.
Cat: geeeez.
i assume this thing glows like nobody's business?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah, it's bright
Cat: i could probably pick up a scroll of identify somewhere civilized?
really though, +10 isn't honestly that much when looking for something nebulously ove 30 heh.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): It would be +10 +12 for you. Much better chances to ID it.
Cat: so there's a random cantrip from some other book i don't recognize, is this fair game? http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/e/enhanced-diplomacy
yeah, i just probably have pick up a few scrolls for when i inevitably roll like 2's on them ;)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah, that's fine. Note that you're casting magic right before talking to someone.
Cat: yeah. or at least within a minute. :)
still deciding. the real other option is stabilize.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Stabilize can't hurt. Especially when you want to capture goons
Cat: or can't get across the field to help a friendly.
...i get another cantrip next level anyway.
funny how you get the most spells off the shortest list.
also, guys, we need to make it to 7th level at least, so i can get my wings. :)
Hernz: Chad, you heard Cat... get us to level 6 so we can get to 7 lol
Cat: i bet we get 6 when we finish the cave thing here ;)
realtime 1/2/2016, 1:23 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): So, what does the party want to do
?
Chris: Reminder: Our options are to try to go after the Lightning Golem that has been working with Goblins, or head straight for the cave. Fi has already suggested that we try to deal with the Golem.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Also note that the sandstorm is still up. No one asked Sheeva to stop it, Vegeta just bested her in a test of strength.
Chris: She also just said it would dissipate in a few hours. What time of day is it?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): It's about noontime now. The sandstorm would be gone in the afternoon.
Cat: I'm fine going after the lightning golem.
it sounded like sheeva was making the storm to hamper them and if we help take care of it then she can leave the storm off.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Sounds like a plan.
Sheeva: That Metal Monstrosity... I saw it travel... that way. There are many roving bands of goblins in the storm. I'll drive them out while you deal with that thing.
Prince Vegeta, if you are ever on this land again, call for me and we will spar again!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You can make a survival roll to determine the direction she pointed in relative to the map.
Cat: awww yeah those again!
i'm helping.
i'm assuming Fi is leading.
Nidranisan:
Nidranisan : Survival
Check	14
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You have helped.
Cat: whoa, i'm actually helpful.
Fi:
Fi : Survival
Check	21
Fleir : Survival
Check	6
Chris: I rolled over a 10!
Cat: woooooo
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Checking the distance and directions Sheeva gave you, it would seem like the golem is roughly where the cave is.
Fi: Figures... probably after the same thing we are.
Nidranisan: sigh.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The sandstorm is less intense than before, now that Sheeva isn't blowing hot sand into the air. Fi figures out a good route to the cave.
So you guys can go to the cave when you are ready.
Cat: nidri's ready when everyone else is.
how long will it take to get there?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): About an hour.
Cat: anyone wanna weigh in on nidri's 2nd list spell choice? :)
Chris: Anything do ice damage?
Cat: summon monster II could summon a small elemental.
which i suppose could probably produce various kinds of damage.
Chris: Technically I can do that currently. Hasn't been worthwhile to use yet.
Cat: independently not useful, or compared to what else you can do in a round?
because some rounds, i'm kinda useless :)
hilariously, the one potentially effective damage spell i looked at does lightning.
unless i want to take inflict moderate wounds, and get all up in someone's face about it.
Chris: compared to something like a gravity bow full round attack.
Cat: yeah.
i'm thinking for me, it might be a reasonable use of a round to drop a summon when no one needs healing.
Hernz: A summon would be good to take hits, and even dish out some flanking if they suck at attacking... cause you can summon them anywhere within range
Vegeta: thanks Sheeva... I'm sure we'll spar again some time
[party] off to the lightning golem then?
surviving 21 in case it's needed
realtime 1/3/2016 10:39 am
Sheeva wishes the party goodluck, then she runs off into the storm, bursting into flames.
The party proceeds along the map route towards their destination. They see several goblin bodies, torn apart by the loose sand, devoured by scavangers, and some pulverized from above, like some heavy weight stepped on them.
The goblins' weapon and armor have the same symbol as the ones the party witnessed in the scorpion cave.
An hour later, the party stands in front of a hole that gently slopes underground. Thanks to the storm, there are no sentries at the entrance.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): If you guys want to do any prep, now's the time.
Cat: and we believe this is a lightning golem?
i could drop one or two resist energy if you guys want.
Nidranisan:   /em is activating her Oracle ability, Demonhide
Uses remaining: 4
Cat: also, anyone care if nidri grabs the Dead Man's Headband at least until we get back to town?
also, for the record, i think i'm gonna stick with the summon monster II idea. chad, lemme know if you want me to wait until we finish this plot arc to add it.
George: Hawk's prep spell only lasts 5 minutes, so he'll cast AA on Fi as close to the start of combat as possible.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Nidri: You can get Summon Monster II. I'll assume you haven't cast it.
Cat: i wonder if fleir will get annoyed if nidri summons a wolf ;)
Vegeta: Claire/Nidri, if you guys can spare your buffs, throw them at me
Hernz: Claire's is more important
Cat: THANKS :P
you want the lightning resist or the +1?
Hernz: only cause you might need the heals lol
Vegeta: lit res actually would be great... i took a bit of damage with nat weapons against sheeva
Nidranisan:   /em casts Resist Energy!
Duration: 10 min/lvl
Vegeta - gain resist energy 10 vs whatever element Nidri said.
Vegeta: Thanks Nid
Nidranisan: geez, even the short version was still too much?

The ant bites, but can't pierce the Goblin's surprisingly tough hide.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Nidri and Hawk can still move.
Cat: thought i cast the summon last turn...i get more than just a move this turn?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Did you move then cast last turn?
Summon Monster is a full round spell.
So it takes your move and action.
If you did nothing but cast last turn, you have a full turn right now.
So Nidri can move and act.
Cat: i think i did move, but...actually, can the ant be way over there?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Oh, hmm.
This is what I get for not reading ranges
Cat: the spell is close range, i think it needs to be over here swinging at bomber C
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You have a 45 ft range
Cat: i think i could've dropped it close enough to be near C without moving.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Makes sense.
Cat: and since i missed i assume it still missed anyway.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah.
Cat: so this round i can go heal hawk
sorry, gonna be a PITA while i figure out this whole summon thing :)

Battle! vs Calaminus

The party runs around the corner, to find an iron giant juggling some of the large stones.
Behind the golem is a crevice full of multicolored rocks.
As she enters the room, the crystal Claire has been carrying begins to vibrate, pulled by an unknown force.
Cat: NIIICE, EXTRA HUGE.
ACK CAPS LOCK
er, sorry.
(aftermath of typing with a toddler...)
Calaminus: Yaaaaay! I found the pretty rocks! Daddy will be happy now!
Cat: oh god, more daddy issues?
Calaminus tries to juggle them briefly before dropping them.
Calaminus: Owww, they are really hot!
Vegeta: uh... anyone else notice that alchemical-like reaction when he picked up the stones?
Hernz: isn't 4 squares colossal?
Cat: yeah, this guy looks really nasty.
Vegeta: you guys fire away, I'll keep him busy....... or try
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Huge creatures usually have 15 ft space

(GM) Chad S. (GM): Got it. I'll let Vegeta, Hawk, Claire and Nidri figure out what they want to do in round 1.

Nidranisan: Depends what you're doing.
Calaminus: Daddy told me to look for the cave with the shiny rocks! And I found it! It's all mine now!
Chris: Say it!
George: it.
Hernz: so anybody got the skillz to tell if we need to break rocks?
Chris: Fi does. Nidri might. Not sure exactly how breaking them would help.
George: What skills do you think it would take?

Ok, veg goes before big C anyway... moving

Vegeta assumes a defensive stance
As Vegeta moves up, Fi and Fleir head towards the next cavern.
The Iron Giant taps some of the rocks with its feet. It giggles some more, seemingly oblivious.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Claire and Nidri to finish round 1
Hernz: ....and I gotta go again....
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Super Hernz...away!

Vegeta (GM) Puts on a cape and flies out of the cavern

That's...some kind of sendrine. but, not black.
Vegeta: he seems to have been hurt when touching it... still got those sendrine weapons?
Cat: if anyone better at talking wants to try to get more info about "daddy" ...
we've heard this kind of speech pattern before.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Anything else Nidri wants to do this turn?
Cat: thinking about moving.
would it help to take a closer look at the rocks?
i mean, i'm not exactly gonna roll better than i already did so maybe not worth it ;)
i better at least sort of follow vegeta.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah, getting closer may help.
Cat: hmmmm ok
can i double move or did that check take my action?
Meghan: Does the red sendrine make him act all wacky? And the green sendrine maybe, I don't know, get him high?
wait, that's the same thing. Which one changes his gender?
I moved
realtime 1/15 8:10pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Nidri can double move.

Hawk moves ahead just as Fi and Fleir arrive in the chamber. One look at those rocks and Fi knows what's going on.
The Iron Giant hears something besides its own giggles. It stands up, turns around, takes a look at Vegeta and starts bouncing towards him.
Calaminus: A new friend! Yaay! I will hug him, and squeeze him, and call him George!
Calaminus tries to grab Vegeta with its ginormous hand
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Calaminus provokes an AoO from Vegeta.

Fi points at Calaminus.
Chris: Fi didn't see anything earlier, so if you want to suggest using sendrine or anything else, you will need to inform her.
Cat: nidri's taking a closer look at this green one.
tho if i gotta roll again, i'm not winning the lottery twice hah
Nidranisan: It's talking about 'daddy' like that idiot in the swamp, and trying to ...hug vegeta?
Nidranisan shouts back to Fi.

Meghan: DIPLOMACY?! MY FAVORITE
Cat: next time we get a go i'm gonna wait for you to try it.
then at least i can say we tried.
unless it smushes vegeta on its turn.
Chris: Anyone wanna tell Fi what's going on?
Otherwise, he's just going to attempt to fill it with normal arrows.
Meghan: what's he speak?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The giant seems to speak common
Cat: heh.
not sure there's a compelling reason either way, i have a feeling we'll end up fighting it.
but i think Fi should've heard nidri say the thing about it saying stuff and 'hugging' vegeta, and asking claire to try talking to it after the pewpew failed.
so, fi can probably decide based on that whether to hold until claire goes or not.

Fi and Fleir move.
Vegeta: Elf, use your fancy arrows... he doesn't seem to like sendrine!
realtime 1/16 1:09pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Vegeta's in a tight situation. What will he do?

Hernz: I don't know if I have a penalty or not... my arms are not magic for this since I'm out of Ki
Vegeta: I don't think I could beat his CMD... I'm sure his size makes it better than my 20+6 bonus from escape artist (note to self, pump that skill up!)
Hernz: that was ooc of course
and again, the crit rules changed for pummel, so only applies to the second hit
Vegeta pummels! Both hits land at once. Its thick, magnetized armor resists some of the pummel.
Calaminus: Heehee! You want to play? You brought friends too!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Calaminus maintains his grapple 45
And deals 12 damage
Calaminus: I'll play catch with you, too missie!
Some of Calaminus's iron plates break off of its shoulder and tries to restrain Claire.

Iron bars form around Claire.
She can break out by beating CMD 28, or dealing 15 points of damage.
Claire and Nidri are up next.
btw, if you haven't been playing major boss music, you should be doing this now
Hernz: veg ain't gonna last long... doh lol
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Well, I assume the party will help.
Vegeta: hahaha, I can trade hits all day!
Calaminus: Yaaay! Rock'em sock'em!
Hernz: does a crit fail on his CMB release me from the grapple? otherwise his +25 is better than my 23 CMD lol
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Nope, sorry.
Hernz: ok, so no need for you to even roll, that's all I meant on that :)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Haha, I roll to keep it legit

Nidri shoves the green rock off the cliff. It rolls off the cliff, tumbling into the monolith.
As the rock hits, Calaminus's iron plates briefly warp. It seems to have briefly lost its resistance to blows!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Claire to end round 3
Hernz: excellent...
Meghan: Should I use diplomacy?
what do we want it to do?
I mean, I'm not real caught up on what we're doing here but I'll try to talk my way out of it, since it's not evil.
unless the resistances made it immune and it really is evil.
Chris: It seems to be doing damage to Vegeta even if it isn't out of malice.
Fi doesn't like that.
Cat: it talks like the girl in the swamp with the wolf.
even if we do end up fighting it, trying to talk to it might get us info.
it sure sounds like this is the big boss fight.
Meghan: I'll roll diplomacy to try to talk but I don't know what to say.
Claire : Diplomacy

One of Fi's arrows bounces off of the iron plating, but the second one scores a hit. It seems to deal an extra 4 damage as it hits.
Chris: wow. nearly double.
Hernz: does it seem to bypass DR?

(GM) Chad S. (GM): Stopped by DR
Hernz: all of it?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Fleir, it's up to you now!
Hernz: it was a crit...
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yup, crit did not confirm
Cat: did it not confirm?
yeaaaah.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You did 3 damage
Hernz: oh... though it was a 20 AC before... ok, nvm
Cat: ok fleir, it's all you ;)
dude's like 1/3 dead...
Hernz: as long as it's not Streets of Rage style with a black bar under this one
Nidranisan: haha.
er
Cat: haha

Fleir is attacking Calaminus with Powerful Bite!
Fleir:
Fleir : Powerful Bite
Attack	24
Damage	10
Type	PBS
Chris: Just hope it's not Legend of Mana!
Fleir sinks her teeth into Calaminus and leaves a nasty mark!
Meghan: Next time I have an action I should probably go help Nidri push rocks. Nothing else i have will reach.
maybe if i get up near Nidri and push the rock I'll be in range to burninate
Calaminus: Nice doggy! But I will hug you after I hug George!
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Grapple vs Vegeta 41
Calaminus hugs again, dealing 9 damage to the Sayan Prince!
(To GM) rolling 5
5
= 5
Another blue rock pops up as Calaminus bounces in place.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Nidri and Claire are next
Meghan: double move?
yeah
Vegeta, if you were good, I could light you on fire. but here we are
consider accepting Jesus as your lord and saviour.
Cat: no damage spells left?
Vegeta: duble move means no spells this turn?
Chris: She's got nothing to cast except maybe burning hands.
Hernz: gotcha
Meghan: Nothing in range
burnign hands is 15 ft and I've got two flaming arcs but I need to be closer
35 ft.
Hernz: yeah, but if you're in range, means he has an AOO cause he has insane reach
Meghan: maybe i could've hit him from the lower level
but I thought Nidri was going to push the rock so I'm gonna help
Chris: If you push the rock, Nidri can heal.
Meghan: is he 20x20 or 15x15?
yeah
Cat: 20x20
Meghan: does the 15' up we are count for my range?
Cat: craaaaaap.
Meghan: because then I need to stand where the rock is.
Cat: i forgot about that.
Hernz: he'd be at eye level for you
Cat: true. he's presumed 20 tall?
Meghan: if it doesn't count, I just need to take one step forward. but pushing the rock next round might be better.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yeah, he's 20 feet tall.
Cat: well, the big question now is, do you guys want me to try pushing the rock this turn and hope it works, or make one more last-ditch effort at keeping veg up for a round?
Hernz: the arrows do well while he's busy squeeshing me...
Cat: fair point.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Strategy! Decisions!
Cat: really, i'm just judging how pathetically vegeta is squealing.
Hernz: our firepower right now is Fi... we're meat shields lol
Cat: that's how he communicates whether he wants healz ;)
ok, let's do this and move on.
Nidranisan casts Cure Light on Vegeta!
Nidranisan: heal 10 HPs.
Cat: if claire and i both push the rock does that lower the dc/give us a bonus/help somehow? :)
y'know, next turn.
Nidri uses her newly earned ability to heal Vegeta's wounds from afar. He inflates slightly.
Round 6
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Fi, Hawk, Vegeta, Fleir: Go
Hernz: same deal waiting on hawk

Vegeta Pummels Calaminus, concentrating all his attacks in one area.

Vegeta: Special: Total the damage from all attacks before applying DR. Attacks treated as Magic.

also not sure if I have a minus from graple on these or not
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yes, the 21 hits
Don't worry about grapple penalties.
'Cause I don't remember.
Vegeta pummels away, managing to overwhelm some of the armor.
Hernz: again, waiting on hawk if he does

Hawk Hubertins is activating his Bard ability, Inspire Courage +2
Hawk Hubertins: +2 morale bonus to attack, damage, and save vs fear & charm
Inspire Courage +2 uses remaining: 7

Hawk struggles yet again
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Fi and Fleir are up
George: I still have TI and GI for reactions when someone barely misses.
Hernz: probably save thsoe for Fi
Cat: yeah too bad it doesn't work for crit confirm.
Hernz: yeah... :)
Cat: awwww did we lose chris already?

Another two Sendrine-tipped arrows pierce the giant's armor, dealing an extra 8 damage
(GM) Chad S. (GM): That's 30 damage total
Hernz: nice! go Fleir!

George: 'Cause you're a big fat meanie pants. :P
Hernz: wow, yhat's the first sub 15 roll on a grapple lol
Meghan: hahahah
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Calaminus squeezes Vegeta for another 13 damage
Vegeta: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Calaminus: Yaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Claire: You're going to break your toy.
Calaminus: George is good at singing!
Cat: sorry, he's rolling 2d6+4 and i'm only rolling 1d8+5.
Vegeta: [in very dramatic DBZ fashion]
(GM) Chad S. (GM): (To GM) rolling 8

Hawk feels the ground beneath him shake, but then halt. He sees the tip of a green rock beneath his feet.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Claire and Nidri are up and then it's bedtime for me.
Hernz: but but.... we can finish this!!
Cat: how's your strength check, claire? :)
Meghan: strength check?
pretty average
Claire : Strength
Check	15
Cat: well ok then.
Hernz: nice!
Claire: Yeah, I got this.
With a quick one-liner and a mighty heave, Claire shoves the red rock onto Calaminus.
Covered in red powder, the titan trips and falls!
Cat: lol and drops vegeta?
Tenderized Vegeta spills on the ground.
Cat: did you randomize which way he falls?
'cause if he falls left i can reach him, but there i can't ;)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): (To GM) rolling 1
1
= 1
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Random, sorry.
Chris: you can take a 15' drop, right?
Hernz: he's on the ground... cant AOO
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Oh no, Physics!
Cat: lol physics.
what's a 15' drop do to me?
(GM) Chad S. (GM): DC 15 Acrobatics lets you ignore 10 feet of the fall.
Hernz: dc 15 you avoid all... else 1d6 or 2d6 damage
(GM) Chad S. (GM): You take 1d6 nonlethal if you make the fall
Cat: suuuuure, and the other 75% of the time? :)
(GM) Chad S. (GM): And 1d6 lethal if you fail the fall
And you're prone if you fail
Cat: ah. so that will prevent me from casting anyway.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Yup.
Well, everyone except Claire should feel free to make their Round 6/7 actions. I'm going to bed.
Cat: g'night!
Hernz: ok, again, attacking after hawk

Vegeta Pummels Calaminus, concentrating all his attacks in one area.

Damage(blunt): 3 || 3
Crit Confirm: 11 || 9
Crit Dmg (blunt): +3 || +9

Hernz: but the 3 damage wont do anything
Cat: but fleir's 18 might hit now.

Fi uses 2 more sendrine arrows.
Hernz: there, Fi takes the kill, easy
Claire: I got a rock
Cat: i think nidri is just gonna refocus, see what all that works out to, and go before the dude stands up.
no real use being flat on my face on the ground.

Vegeta falls to one knee, exhausted
Cat: not gonna like, run around and try to flank it while it's lying down? ;)
i guess you've been delaying anyway and letting hawk/fi go first. :)
Hernz: he's pretty sure Fi took it out
realtime 1/19, 9:21 am
Still dizzy from the fall, Vegeta scores a weak hit. Its armor is undamaged.
Fleir manages to bite the downed fiend, tearing off a critical piece of armor. Electricity surges through, revealing a glowing red power core.
Whether through instinct or lots of exposure, Fi knows to fire two arrows right through its weakpoint.
With that, the giant begins to pound his fists on the ground, causing the cave to shake even more.
Calaminus: NOOO! George! Why did they hit the Big Boom Button! Dad's gonna be so mad when he puts me back together!
Between the energy and the rumbling, it's clear that this cave will collapse within a few minutes!
Fi: Uh... Oops.
Quick find the thing the crystal is reacting to!
and maybe pocket some colored sendrine if you have the chance. For research purposes.
Combat Over, by the way
 

Out of the cave.

Vegeta: perception 425
perception 25
Hernz: oops lol
Vegeta: let's see what we can find, quick!
Fi:
Fi : Perception
Check	16
Chris: There's my 4.
Hernz: you need a 425 like I rolled lol
Chris: That was pretty pathetic for a d2014
Hernz: lol, that's what I was thinking
Fleir:
Fleir : Perception
Check	17
Hernz: I'll likely be gone for when people log in... abuse my 10 strength to carry what you need lol
Vegeta: by the way, nice shooting elf
Fi: Oh, thanks. I'm glad to know there was a point to lugging these black arrows everywhere.
Vegeta: heh
(GM) Chad S. (GM): So Vegeta quickly scans smaller, easily pocketed rocks of the red, blue and green varieties.
Claire feels the fragment as it pulls her towards a small white pebble with a small recess.
Basically you guys have enough time to grab 2 things: 2 kinds of rocks, or one of the weapons left by the goblins.
Any longer than that and I start rolling.
Meghan: rock... rock ... rock...
Cat: i'd rather scavenge for rocks
Nidranisan : Perception
Check	7
if i can find any HAH
George: Hawk's grabbing some red and some green rocks and then he's gonna GTFO.
Cat: yeah, i mean, if i can find a bit of blue.
or have time to go try to grab a chunk from the big blue one and then run for it.
Hernz: just tell veg what you guys want him to grab, he'll go for it...

Fi isn't interested in the Goblin weapons, they seemed ineffective.
Chris: Is any of Calaminus' armor is easily takable?
realtime 1/21 7:26 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): Hawk grabs a pair of red and green rocks, then leaves.
Nidri finds some blue rocks and runs.
Claire is eventually drawn to a white rock, the size of her fist. Anything else?
Fi contemplates grabbing a piece of Calaminus's armor, and notices a chip of its armor broken off next to Vegeta.
Fi has time for 2, Vegeta has time for 2, and Claire has time for 1 piece.
I added a document "Cave of Wonders Loot" to track what you took from the cave.
Vegeta: veg will grab the piece of armor and some red rock

Fi grabs some rocks.

Fleir feels left out, and grabs something random off the ground.
Cat: lol awesome.
that'll turn out to be the coolest one. ;)
Chris: or a stick :-P
Fleir:
Fleir : Perception
Check	7
Chris: Yeah, probably a stick. But even that is special in a desert...
Hernz: lol
realtime 1/22 6:13 pm
Party members quickly grab some rocks and then hightail it out of the cave!
As they escape they hear the cave collapse. Sand sweeps in from every direction to fill in the gaps.
The party escapes as the cavern is swallowed whole.
The sandstorm is almost clear. Now that they're outside of the cave, the shard Claire carried and the white crystal she holds are drawn to each other. Claire notices a small hole on the crystal, about the size of the shard she carried.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): I'll assume Claire puts the shard in the crystal. Please read the "White Crystal Message" handout.
Meghan: sure
Claire : Perception
Check	7
I cannot make a dc 22 perception check
anyone else want to try?
Vegeta: perception 31
Hawk Hubertins:

haaaaaa.
Fi:
Fi : Perception
Check	18

Fi is distracted by the sendrine.
Cat: lol.
i'm just...like not even paying attention when it happens.
Chris: we both rolled a 6 :-P
Hernz: at least one thing veg is good at lol
Chris: That and making will saves so that you don't get a -2 penalty to everything.
Hernz: haha
Cat: so uh, do we know where we're going next/
?
also, maybe at least vegeta needs some healz first?
Hernz: just a little bit... lol
Chris: Well, should we start heading back to the capitol? We'll need to find a place to rest along the way.
Should we try to visit Sheeva on the way back?
Vegeta: Sure... she might know something about these rocks too
realtime 1/23, 7:27 pm
(GM) Chad S. (GM): The light flashes brightly in front of the group.
Vegeta notices Sheeva approach the group.
Chris: (how convenient)
Fi: Oh, hello again. Seems we both finished up?
Sheeva: Ah, yes! Glorious battle! Goblins piled upon me, from the ground the sky!
I threw them off, grew to the size of the hills and breathed flame upon them!
Fi: Raining goblins? That's a new one.
Meghan: "hallelujah it's raining..."
Sheeva: Haha, they are cunning, but not loyal. As soon as they heard a loud noise they scattered to the winds.
That loud noise, well, I'm not surprised you're next to that cave in.
Fi: Uh... yeah. The big metal thing went boom.
Sheeva: Big metal?
Fi: A golem of some kind.
I think Vegeta grabbed a piece of it.
It was digging for these rocks. They didn't seem to agree with it's composition.

Chris takes away the apostrophe and hides it.
Sheeva: Hmm... Rocks are very interesting. But this seems like overkill.
No doubt Petal Rose will have many questions to ask.
If you need a guide from the desert, I will help you exit.

Cat casts Cure Moderate Wounds!
Cat: Vegeta - heal 18 HPs.
(GM) Chad S. (GM): While Sheeva isn't paying attention, Vegeta relays a very important message he saw when the flash.
I have updated the "White Crystal Message" Handout
I'm going to assume Vegeta would mention it before Sheeva arrived.
Hernz: yes, sorry
Vegeta: “I’m alive- keep this secret, especially around the Mels" I saw that message flash at the end of merki's message

Fi face palms.
Fi: Of course... That asshole.
Vegeta: hahaha... I knew he was tougher than that!
Sheeva returns to the group.
Sheeva: So then...are you ready to head back?
Nidranisan: Yes.
Sheeva: Then follow me.
Sheeva helps guide the party through the desert landscape. She and Vegeta spend the night watches sparring. Few predators want to challenge the red hot salamander, and the nights go peacfully.
