The Tomb

Standing by to take turn, requesting current map.

It will have to wait till tonight then, I don't have the most current map on my hard drive at work... thought I did, sorry. I wasn't planning on updating until the next round.

I just discovered a new WTF? as well... my power point maps don't register on my work computer. If I have time at lunch, I'll try to get the map updated.

No hurry. In this format, a GM really needs to update the map after every player/creature takes its turn. Waiting a full turn means that things are going to get mucked up, skipped over, and forgotten. Of course it isn't necessary if nothing moves, or no effects are generated. If I would have skipped updating till the end of the round in my PF games, the maps would have been hopelessly broken.

uh, no. That's too cumbersome and you can manage to figure your position w/o my having to update it 6 or 7 times a round. I'm not doing that and no one else has done that thus far either (that I'm aware of) for obvious reasons.

Map is updated

I did it in all of my games, pretty sure Chris did to, dont remember if Rob did.

Its the only way to keep everything straight. If you dont move the stuff when it moves, its going to be a mess, and your going to be in constant retcon mode.

CJC moves into 1604, with his hound "squeezing" into the space at his left at 1704/1705.

Swift action, Judgement, Protection: The inquisitor is surrounded by a protective aura, granting a +1 sacred bonus to Armor Class. This bonus increases by +1 for every five inquisitor levels she possesses.

CJC AC is +2, now 22.

CJC has no LOS on targets from there, so he will ready action, "fire rifle at creature" conditions "target enters LOS and CJC has clear firing lane".

Turn finished.

Fine, I'll do it but it's going to slow progress down.

So you're holding your action again?

Actually, the dog will have to occupy a different space (you can't occupy the same space as someone else)... That was a map discrepancy, I have corrected it. The hallway is only 5' across.

Is the dog's position ok?

I think JT is up, so I am going to go....

JT will make a Scout's Charge past Elliot (friendly sq) and attack the zombie he shot at 1409.  JT will use quick sheathe to stow his pistol and switch to a 2H grip

Scout's Charge (Ex): At 4th level, whenever a scout makes a charge, her attack deals sneak attack damage as if the target were flat-footed. Foes with uncanny dodge are immune to this ability.

+2 for charge +2 vs undead (favorite enemy)

attack with dwarven war axe (+1)
Roll(1d20)+14:
12,+14
Total:26

if that hits, damage:

Roll(1d10)+7:
6,+7
Total:13

+2 vs undead

sneak attack +3d6
Roll(3d6)+0:
2,6,5,+0
Total:13

13 + 2 + 13 = 28 total damage

JT's AC is now a net +1, -2 for charge + 3 for Offensive Defense talent (+1 ac per die of sneak attack rolled for 1 turn)

Offensive Defense** (Ex): When a rogue with this talent hits a creature with a melee attack that deals sneak attack damage, the rogue gains a +1 dodge bonus to AC for each sneak attack die rolled for 1 round.

JT should be at 1509

Thats the way the cookie crumbles.

Without the room for both of us, CJC will stay behind Olivia, so the hound remains adjacent. Move has been taken, action has been readied, turn is over.

Nice hit, JT! That Scout's Charge is a pretty sweet ability. With the 24 Elliot did and that 28, baddie numero uno should be feelin' the pain..

JT will need to make a Fort Save please....

the rotting corpse nearly explodes from JT's mighty swing (and the earlier damage from Elliot). It's greenish, pus filled body falls apart with a horrid squelching sound as it falls... a cloud of green filthy germs belches forth from it's body.

Olivia is now up again... I think. lol

map updated (dead zombies should appear green)

JT howls in disgust, "Stay back, these puss-bags are volatile!"

Fort Save
Roll(1d20)+7:
10,+7
Total:17

+4 if it counts as a spell, spell-like ability or poison

nice monster GM!


It would help if the GM re-posted the initiative order at the top of each round (now), especially since the order changed.

I believe the plague zombies are up, actually

I will post it when I do their moves... that will have to be a bit later tonight.

You made your save... though the stench of these creatures betrays that they are essentially walking diseases, you seem to be immune to whatever plague they carry... for now.

Update will come soon.

I thought it best to go back and make sure we're all on the same page...

Round one: Everyone but JT waits until Olivia casts her spell... the zombies rise and move all of 5'. Olivia casts her spell, gaining control of one of the fiends and then JT takes a shot at another.

Round two: CRIII takes a swing at one and cuts off a couple fingers, Elliot drills another in the center of his head, staggering him... JT finishes him off. The colonel has moved to a cover position at the tail of the column with his trusty hound.

At some point the zombies were missed... but they go now. Then Olivia will be up.... if I am wrong about this order, please correct me. Everyone waiting for the spell to be cast sorta shot the initiative order to hell.


Anyway... the zombies move forward muttering something guttural as they move to the attack. They do not move fast but ramble forward with an irresistible force... one attacks JT with a powerful blow:

Roll(1d20)+5:
12,+5
Total:17

...and misses. Another moves up to Elliot to do the same:

Roll(1d20)+5:
14,+5
Total:19

... and misses (me thinks I should have gone with nastier monsters.. hmm)

CRIII is attacked by the one whom he lopped the fingers off of... we'll call him 'lefty'

Roll(1d20)+5:
6,+5
Total:11

Lefty also misses. Two more stack up behind those that attacked JT and Elliot. A third moves to one of the broken sarcophagi and picks up a portion of it with foul ghostly strength...

Map is updated




Olivia should be up.

Good roll up GM, thanks!

yeah, that was confusing, but this is only the start of rd 2

I don't think the zombies got skipped, but I could be wrong....

but I agree, nice job on the re-cap

We can always do another initiative but I'd rather not... I swear this is right as to order

I have posted the map with everyone where they should be.  Since everyone waited (and your enemies just moved).  We can now just go with normal Initiative order:

CRIII: 18
Elliot: 16
CJC: 9
Plague Zombies: 8
Olivia and JT: 6 - highest Dex.

I think everything has been taken care of... CRIII is up.

Ok, I am a bit confused here....  CR3, Elliot and CJC all delayed (so Olivia could cast her spell), so we should all be stacked on a 6 Initiative, behind Olivia.

you just said the Plague Zombies moved

so now we all get to go, before the Zombies go again.  as I am reading what you wrote, the zombies would get to act again before JT had a single action.  wouldn't the new initiative order be:

rd 1
Plague Zombies - already moved
Olivia (since everyone waited for her) - already cast
CR3
CJC
Elliot (waiting on CJC)
JT

with CR3, Elliot, CJC and JT all going before rd2 and the zombies again

we are just now at the start of rd 2

Zombies went for the 2nd time, they have not been skipped

Now it is Olivia, for the 2nd time

You are making 2 rds out of 1.

Olivia moves up to hex 1607. She casts Command Undead on the zombie in hex 1009.

"Listen to my words, tomb dweller! Do not approach us. Go stand in the corner and let us pass!"

yes, sorry, it is still round two.

ok, I have it that CR III, then Elliot then the Colonel are up... that's right?

whit10 wrote:

I think that is correct, Mr GM

JT raises an eyebrow at Elliot as if to say, we have to hang out with Olivia's undead entourage?

thanks... and

With a flurry, CR3 kicks the creature in the knee, then the ribs.

3+10=13 to attack
Dmg 7+4=11

13+10=23 to hit
Dmg 8+4=12

Then, summoning his ki, CR3 slings the kusarigama around with the momentum of his spinning body to lash out for the zombie's ankle for a trip.

9+11=20 vs zombies CMD

1st attack misses, second one hits... he is also tripped and hit the ground with disgusting splat (he's still 'up' though).

Map updated.



Elliot is up

Elliot grits his teeth and brings his weapon to bear on the deadite that's moved directly in front to him..

Shot 1: 1d20+11 (7+11)=18
I think that hits, so damage: 1d10+4 (+2d6 vs undead)
6+4+2+5=17

Shot 2: 1d20+6 (11+6)=17
Not sure on that one, but if it hits, damage: 1d10+4 ( 2d6 vs undead) 10+4+3+5=22

Elliot pops off 2 quick shots, the muzzle flashes briefly illuminating the forgotten chamber.. the noise echoing in his ears in the enclosed space. He winces and prepares himself for a shower of gore..

Elliot fort save, in case that pops him: 1d20 + 8 (12+=20

How tall are the sarcophagi?

MAS wrote:How tall are the sarcophagi?

GM said they counted as difficult terrain in one thread, but that's all I know.

cover?

The sarcophagi are no more than 3' high and most are in rubble or at least broken larger pieces. Difficult terrain to move through, partial cover only if prone... ya pansy

Elliot gave his target two large holes in his head and torso but he's still kicking at the moment.

The map has not changed so I don't really need to update it here...

Colonel?

Move to 1606, with the hound ending in 1707.

"Damn these stubby legs!" curses the Colonel as plods his way into the room, his hound trotting dutifully at his side.

"STEP LIVELY, Rothschild!" he shouts, warning his compatriot to clear his firing lane, and swinging his rifle to the ready.

CJC readies action, shoot creature adjacent to Rothschild with rifle, condition = Rothschild clears out of LOS.

GM - JT has probably made 10-20 perception checks while being inside the tomb. He has been inspecting the first room and hallway on the floors, walls and ceilings for traps, with a bonus for stone, which is what the tomb is built out of.

Based on all those checks, does JT think the room\tomb is stable enough to handle a TNT blast without collapsing it?

lol... I've been waiting for you to ask me that.

Give me a knowledge Engineering check for that please.

Colonel... your condition and action is noted for next round.

JT just so happens to have Know: Engineering

whit10 wrote:You're pretty sure that this room is only maybe 10 ft or so below the surface... it very well could cause a cave in

JT assesses the structural integrity of the tomb and the new positions of his friends.  JT still tries to follow the original plan of using himself as bait to draw the undead attention away from his companions.

JT does a low dive roll through hex 1408, which is occupied by a plague zombie, to hex 1308

Acro DC to avoid AoO is 5 + CMD

I will also need another Fort Save from you. Olivia will be up, then CRIII (the Colonel is holding his action to act)

whit10 wrote:map is updated

Olivia commanded the 2nd Zombie (in blue) to go stand in the corner. Just wanted to be clear. Maybe you forgot to move him, or maybe he's just not listening to her.

Sorry for delay, Elliot's FORT save:

1d20 + 8 (10+=18

Sorry Rob, just forgot to move him, I will on the next update.

Elliot makes his save

JT's AC is currently 23 (20+3) +3 is from rogue talent Offensive Devense which gives him +1 AC per die of sneak attack damage he inflicts for 1 turn.

JT is a rogue tank

aha! nice one my friend.

Olivia bursts into a controlled rage and steps forward to hex 1508. She unleashes flurry of blows on the stricken undead at 1408.

1st attack): 11 + 9 = 20

2 + 8 = 10 damage

2nd): 15 + 9 = 24

1 + 8 = 9 damage

you hit the target each time. the zombie you control has moved.

CRIII is up

Friendly reminder, CJC is located at 1606, with the hound at 1707.

dammit! Sorry 'bout that.

Map is 'correctly' updated. lol

"Right-O Colonel," CRIII tumbles away to 1509, kusarigama trailing like a lightning bolt. With his confidence restored he leaps into a flying kick at 1408.

Flanking +2

17+11+2=30 to hit

Dmg 7+5=12
Snk att 2d6: 3+3=6

Conditions for readied action have been met, CJC attacks creature at 2006 with rifle -

Target is inside first range increment, attack is vs touch AC

CR III lands his kick to the creatures mid-section with a sickening thud...

The Colonel blasts the head clean off of his target.. it bursts, but everyone is out of it's range.

Elliot is up. (I think)

whit10 wrote:you hit the target each time.  the zombie you control has moved.

+6 retcon damage for Olivia raging. Sorry about that.

Elliot shakes off the shower of undead guts and fires again, this time at the creep in 1307...

1st attack: 1d20+11 (20+11) =31

Hah! To confirm crit: 1d20 + 11 ( 6+11)=17

Damage: 2d10 +4 + 2d6 vs undead ( 7+4+6+3)=20

2nd attack: 1d20 + 4 (10+4)= 14

Think that misses but just in case: 1d10+4+ 2d6 vs undead
( 4+4+1+2)=11

That's it for Elliot this round.

Damage is noted Rob, no worries.

Elliot, is that your critical damage roll? You did, in fact, confirm your critical. The second attack missed.

Rifle or Pistol Crit mod is x4
