Ok, we don't have 1 map that was actually correct during the King's turn.  CR3, JT and Elliot were all surrounding him.  So the issue is not an AoO based on his movement.  The issue is that there are 3 AoO on the King as he "attempts" to cast his Spell as a Standard action.  He didn't\couldn't use "cast defensively"  so any damage that all 3 of us might do - would force a concentration check and possibly prevent him from turning into mist at all.  This isn't about killing him before he flees - it is about stopping him from being able to flee at all.

**now if the GM just wants his main villain to escape, there are numerous ways to block the mechanics of combat, but technically speaking, there are 3 AoO that can interrupt the King's transformation into mist***

from PF:
An attack of opportunity “interrupts” the normal flow of actions in the round. If an attack of opportunity is provoked, immediately resolve the attack of opportunity

Injury: If you take damage while trying to cast a spell, you must make a concentration check with a DC equal to 10 + the damage taken + the level of the spell you're casting. If you fail the check, you lose the spell without effect.


If something interrupts your concentration while you're casting, you must make a concentration check or lose the spell. When you make a concentration check, you roll d20 and add your caster level and the ability score modifier used to determine bonus spells of the same type.

so his concentration would be 10 + total damage from 3 AoO + level of  spell.  If even 1-2 of us hit.... we have a chance to thwart his escape.  This doesn't affect any other actions that have occured, so it isn't even a "retcon rewind".  the only thing it affects is whether the King can turn into mist or not

JT's AoO
melee +10 +2 flanking +2 favored enemy +8 (last) Hero Point
Result of the throw of dice "1d20 +22" :

13 + 22 = 35

if that hits
Result of the throw of dice "1d8 +9" :

5 + 9 = 14

shock
Result of the throw of dice "1d6" :

4

sneak attack
Result of the throw of dice "3d6" :

4 + 5 + 2 = 11

29 (4 electric)

King's DC is currently 10 + 29 + spell level (39+spell level vs d20 + caster level + ability) to even turn into a mist, but I would hope that CR3 and Elliot all get their legal AoO and can stack some more damage and prevent his Mist spell ability, oh fair and lawful GM

He would have moved in the first place, no more than 2 AoOs would have been possible.

I'm allowing the attack... it's actually a Supernatural Ability (I finally found the section on this)... you can have attacks of opportunity to address the fact that he's using an action to move... normally, there are on AoOs on supernatural abilities.

JT's attack hits. I will allow Elliot one as well as I missed the movement that he had stated. He would have moved in that direction and then changed... that's the best I can do.

ok, whatever man.  You said you looked at it and it was a Spell - so that is how I reacted to it.  If it is now a SU, which doesn't provoke AoO, then there is nothing to interrupt, lol.

If JT was reacting to his movement, since now he is moving first and then using his ability (retcon), then JT would not have used a Hero pt on a movement based AoO.

Since this is the last fight and the end of the chapter, it doesn't really matter, I suppose.

it was my mistake, hence why I am still allowing for the AoOs. It's badly worded, IMO. It's described (as the Spell Gaseous From) but it's a supernatural ability. That was my error.

you don't need to use the Hero Point.. I'll allow that to be taken back.

you still hit...

no worries, you actually did it legally to begin with, it just confused in the explanation.

Mist (SU) no AoO
movement - yes AoO but ineffective vs mist form

I jumped on it when I thought it was a spell, not an SU, but then it would be a pretty worthless vampiric ability

game on - we'll kill him next time

I'll post the remaining mummy attacks around lunch... almost there!

Two mummy attacks left:

One on JT, one on CR III

JT:

Roll(1d20)+10:

whit10 wrote:hmm... wanna use that Hero Point at all?  (the one you didn't need to spend earlier)

nah, let it ride

are ya sure? Mummy Rot really sucks man.

last chance

I believe chris is intersted in playing a character who suffers from mummy rot. Maybe next quest is search for a cure?

ok, you're choice:

After one minute, this will happen: onset 1 minute; frequency 1/day; effect 1d6 Con and 1d6 Cha;

the clock is ticking....

Top of the round then, JT is up.

JT feels woozy and his iron guts turn into cauliflower and cotton candy. JT vomits on his boots and tries to regain his composure.

JT will delay to allow Elliot to move into flanking position with the mummy that hit him

AC20
HP 21\72
*onset of crotch-rot*

It is Olivia's turn then.

map is updated just for clarity

The map looks like Olivia's mummy is prone?

"Bah!" the witch spits at the mummy. "Foolish forsaken of the Dark Path, your heart is hollow, your soul is cursed. Now before you I send you into the Void, feel the sting of my haggish hair!" Writhing dreads tear and rip at the wrapped undead.

1st) 18 + 9 = 27,
if hit: 6 + 5 = 11 damage

2nd) 12 + 9 = 21,
if hit: 5 + 5 = 10 damage

sorry, that guy is dead (or rather, a pile of ash and bones), I guess I should have removed him, please go ahead and do whatever you might want to do. my apologies...

Map is properly updated..

Keep my rolls. Olivia moves up to 0705 and attacks the mummy in hex 0505.

No problem.. Olivia lashes out with her hair and starts shredding another mummy.

Elliot is up.

Map is updated

Elliot steps back to hex 0405, and makes one vicious attack against each mummy.

First attack (mummy in 0406) 1d20+12 (11+12)=23
If that hits, damage: 1d4+6+2d6 vs evil ( 2+6+3+4)= 15 (7 holy)

Second attack on other mummy: 1d20+7 (16+7)=23
Damage: 1d4+6+2d6 vs evil (1+6+6+1)=14 (7 holy)

Elliot jumps between the corpses and slashes at the first tattered, desiccated body,, turning with his momentum and following through by stabbing into the body of the second.

Current HP 36/78

You hit both of them with sharp, well aimed blows.

Damage is recorded

The cloud of mist (the king) floats up to the air shaft and begins to enter it.

I'll take care of Gaspard on the same turn as the mummies...

CR III and the Colonel are up.

Map is updated:

JT can go anytime now too, since the condition was to wait for Elliot

oops, yes, go ahead and go now JT.

JT will move clockwise around the mummy, staying out of his threat zone and then move into 0604 and attack, flanking with Elliot

+10 + 2 flanking + 2 favored enemy

The Colonel is up. I'll update the map after that

Cloud at 0503 = which bad guy is that again?
Greyish icon bad guy near 0203 = Status?

Cloud is the King vamp escaping in mist form,

the other is his dead, very dead, vampire wife (the queen)

Another shot at mummy vic 0505.

BAB +4
DEX +3
Ammo +1
Bane, undead +2

I'll have to look at numbers when I get home but that might have finished that one...

If Olivia wishes to wait for the next post, I totally understand. Will update later today

yep, thought so... the guy that JT hit crumples into a pile of bones, bandages and decayed flesh

There is one mummy left.

Map is updated. Olivia is up

Olivia steps up to 0605 and does a hair double-tap on the last mummy.

1st) 14 + 9 = 23

6 + 5 = 11 damage


2nd) 12 + 9 = 21

2 + 5 = 7 damage

He drops an arm... but is still going! (Nobody defeats the Black Knight!)

Map is updated, Elliot is up.

Elliot will spend a full round attack trying to finish the remaining mummy..

Attack 1: 1d20+12 (16+12)=28

If that hits, damage: 1d4+6 + 2d6 vs evil
(3+6+3+1)=13

Attack 2: 1d20+7 (20+7)
Hah, finally a Crit threat..

To confirm: 1d20+7 (13+7)=20

Damage if confirmed: 2d4+6 + 2d6 vs evil
(4+3+6+2+6)=21

If no crit, 18 damage.

Despite the pain from his cracked ribs and other wounds, Elliot feels as though his attack on the abomination was effective..

Elliot is done.

That WAS a crit and he is looking really ragged now.

CR III is up

map did not change

CR III is still up but the Colonel is welcome to take his turn as well (only one baddie left).

map is current in case it was needed.

Not a big deal, but Olivia has moved.

Sorry Rob. It will be correct on the next post.

The last mummy drops into a pile of dust and bones.

Fight has ended.


Next actions?

search the tomb, I suppose

Perception checks please.

take 20, no rush, no danger

20 + 17 = 37
+3 for traps
+2 unusual stone

jeez! Nice roll... uh yeah, there's a secret mechanism along the north wall (similar to the last tomb chamber) that looks like it activates a secret door.


I will update all of this later... if anyone else wishes to make a Perception check, by all means do so.

Elliot's perception check sucked.. so nevermind lol.
He'll scoop up his rifle and reload it.
He offers Olivia a fresh magazine for Lucy.
He's pretty banged up so he's just going to lean on a sarcophagus and rest while the others search or whatever.

JT winks at Olivia, "Now we can rest"
