If we are, Garth has something to say.

After everyone's saves, of course.

No, initiative is still active.

Jules has Death Ward active: He should take no damage

The subject gains a +4 morale bonus on saves against all death spells and magical death effects. The subject is granted a save to negate such effects even if one is not normally allowed. The subject is immune to energy drain and any negative energy effects, including channeled negative energy.

If a save is needed for some weird reason.

Garth essentially goes right after Jules now since you held the one action. Speaking is a free action (but I think it's supposed to be on your turn?)

That's why I asked about initiative.   

Grizzle strolls through the gate last. He is never casual, but with no promise of a meal in this fight, it takes him longer than usual to get motivated. Before his brain is finished sloshing from the portal, the fight is over. Curious, griz sniffs around, but is disappointed by the stench. He is not very smart, but he is wise enough to let the smart people plan things.

Griz ambles to center on e-22 slipping the daylight stone out of his cheek to his lips and activates it, UNLESS he sees something to attack, He will spit it through the doorway.

I'm confused    what are you talking about? an AoO isn't a held action, Garth used his move and standard on his turn

assuming it bypasses that....

I know that one can move through spaces occupied by friendlies, but they can not occupy the same space at the end of the move. Your stated move would place you into the same space as Garth, so it is a no-go.

Rasso Save is SUCCESS. half damage.

He can center on e-22 if he "squeezes" against the statues. garth is at g-22.

I meant when the next round starts Chris, Jules moved to first in initiative when Garth held his action. Not that it really matters that much.

had nothing to do with the AoO

The door shatters like a pane of brittle glass, and a wave of negative energy rolls through the entire room.

Negative. "Only spells and spell-like abilities are subject to spell resistance" - as per the PRD. This is not a "Spell or spell-like ability".

"Squeezing: In some cases, you may have to squeeze into or through an area that isn't as wide as the space you take up. You can squeeze through or into a space that is at least half as wide as your normal space. Each move into or through a narrow space counts as if it were 2 squares, and while squeezed in a narrow space, you take a –4 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to AC.

When a Large creature (which normally takes up 4 squares) squeezes into a space that's 1 square wide, the creature's miniature figure occupies 2 squares, centered on the line between the 2 squares. For a bigger creature, center the creature likewise in the area it squeezes into.

A creature can squeeze past a creature while moving but it can't end its movement in an occupied square."

Grizzle shoulders his way past the other party members, jostling and outright shoving them along as he does so, and the squeezes into place (–4 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to AC).

Just as he lumbers into place - a streak of fire arcs out of the next room's darkness and explodes at his feet!
(attacker was invisible prior to spell)

Fireball, maximized = 60 damage, REF save for half, SR applies
Result of the throw of dice "1d20 +11" :

Grizzle, Garth, and Igniss within effect zone



Is Grizzle still intending to spit the Bright Stone into the room? If so - he'll need a throw or athletics check or something relevant, as well as declaration of a target square please.

6+13=19 reflex
Add surge bonus of 6 to save=25
Resist fire 4

Athletics 18+12=30

F-8 target square.

Reflex: 13+17 = 30

Ignis currently has Fire Resistance 20.

Grizzle and Igniss SAVE is SUCCESS.
half damage and subtract resistance.

Once Garth checks in, I'll resolve the throw and we'll flip the round.

Garth's REF save: 1d20 + 18 (5+18)=23

Also, his Frost Brand grants him 10 DR/Fire

MAS wrote:Grizzle and Igniss SAVE is SUCCESS.

Ignis takes 10 damage.
HP 90/100

Griz hp: 171

Grizzle's target for the Bright Stone exceeds his ability to throw, but it lands and rolls into the room well enough.

Round ends.

Initiative =

Garth - 31
Jules - 24
Rasso - 24
Igniss - 20
L3 - 17 / Unknown
Grizzle - 5

Garth is up (previous round holding back of action does not affect this round's initiative).
Jules on deck

Did Garth make his REF save or not? Also, Garth & Jules switched initiative so it's Jules up, Garth on deck.

Arcturus2 wrote:Did Garth make his REF save or not? Also, Garth & Jules switched initiative so it's Jules up, Garth on deck.

Yes Garth made the save. Half damage

Jules is up.

Copy on initiative. Stuck at a fucking wedding, will post Garth's turn ASAP.

what can we see in the main chamber now that it is glowing like daylight?

Griz - nice job getting your Daylight off in round 1, I didn't expect that.

If the baddie promised to taste better, griz may have attacked instead...  

Jules:

Move action (extra from Haste): put wand of darkvision away.

Free Action - Quick Draw- 2nd Revolver.

Move Action - H-19 (Jules is under the affects of Greater Invisibility.)  Let me know if you want a Stealth check.  What does he see?

Perception?

Griz took care of round 1, let's focus on what matters and clean up the baddies afterwards if we want

So the daylight effect should kick in at the start of Griz's next turn, right? Garth may as well mix shit up with whatever baddies we got til then, unless I'm misunderstanding how these glow rocks work? He's still at 224/270 so he can hang with these assholes for a bit yet..

lets see what the GM says, but I read it like a glow stick: Griz activated it, it is now glowing, so the room should be full daylight, hopefully that affects these undead in some fashion.

our instructions aren't specific, but I think we should try to burn 3 consecutive rounds, nuke the whole site from orbit.... it's the only way to be sure

The daylight effect begins when the stone lands. It burns until the character who threw it begins their next round action. It must burn the the entire round between actions in order to count.

You may have noticed I deleted a ton of posts. gentlemen, its been said in damn near every game - PLEASE keep the idle chatter off the combat thread. It multiplies the difficulty of GMing a fight significantly.

Stand by - I am in the process of resuming play.

As Jules enters the second room, he sees Corpse Guard L3 (location L/14), the rest of the room appears empty.

Suddenly from the corner of his eye, a blast of magical energy lashes out to strike him as another Corpse Guard becomes visible at L/19.

Readied action, magic missile, foe enters room =
Result of the throw of dice "5d4 +5" :

4 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 4 + 5 = 20

Jules takes 20 dmg. He is apparently less invisible than he thought.

Garth is up - Rasso on deck.

NOTE: due to readied actions and held actions, initiative order now stands as =

Initiative =

L4
Jules
Garth
Rasso
Igniss
L3
Grizzle

so they have True Seeing.... nice to know. (otherwise, nope, still invisible)

Jules takes no damage - Shield was cast earlier.

Jules will call out "watch your 3 o'clock in here" and blast L 4 with one shot.

GM - with the daylight stone - do we see anything new?

Chirs2 wrote:GM - with the daylight stone - do we see anything new?

I have revealed everything that can be seen with peoples capabilities and sightlines.

from Rasso's limited POV, does he see any coffins or interned bodies in the vault room?

can you give us a description of the phylacteries as well?

thx

Jules lands an unremarkable shot on the Corpse Guard...it blows a chunk of bone from it's arm but provokes no additional reaction.

For those who can the see the phylacteries (Which is everyone but Rasso right now) they can see that the columns have shelves, and the shelves are lined with crystalline jars.

Rasso sees no coffins or interred corpses. Disregard any skeletal remains shown on the map, I didn't have the ability to remove them.

Rasso still up.

Correct, sorry.

Garth is up!

Need a clarification on the mythic haste (sorry)
..

It grants an extra move action, correct? Garth's base speed is 30, does his speed double with the buff?

Never mind,  I looked it up.

Garth shouts out to the party:

"Peabody, get ready to throw Rasso's glow rock!" (Free action)

He lifts his five foot blade over his head with both hands. It glows a faint blue with the magical light of it's frost.

He screams and charges full speed at the first corpse guard who revealed himself.

Move Action: Garth runs towards the Corpse guard in K-14. With the haste, he can get to K-15.

Still screaming like a banshee, he crashes his mighty Frost Brand down on the crown of the rotting corpse's head..

Mythic Vital Strike:

Attack Roll: 1d20+39 (14+39)= 53

If that hits, Damage Roll: 8d6+184 (5, 2, 5, 6, 1, 4, 6, 4+184)+1d6 cold (2)=214 +2 cold

Used 2 Mythic powers today, Garth is at 224/270 HP

Garth is a hammer, and EVERYTHING looks like a nail.

Garth picks up speed as he dashes into the room, ready to drive steel through the heart of the Corpse Guard.

As he moves through the door, yet another Guard appears,  points his finger, and launches a fireball into the door way.

Readied action, second foe enters room, cast spell - maximized fireball

60 damage, REF save for half, everybody EXCEPT Igniss.

Garth REF save: 1d20 + 18 (12+18)=30

+10 DR/fire

Do I make that save?

And does that mean I just flat out lose my attack or do I strike anyway?

I believe Garth gets a second move action on his turn.. depending on how the attack resolves after the fireball, I may want to use it before Garth passes.
