(CSRHoD) Creamsteak's Red Hand of Doom [IC]

[Redclaw]

Larian--Transmuter 5--HP: 25--AC:18 (tch 18, ff 14)--f+2, r+5, w+4

Larian winces in sympathy as the aasimar takes two big hits, but trusts to her ability to heal herself if necessary. He then smiles thinly as Warren steps in to attack the dazed bladebearer. Now that's teamwork, Warren. Keep it up and let's finish him quickly. I like the look of this one not at all.
Despite his stated dislike of the hobgoblin, Larian knows he has to help keep the cleric from getting attacked from both sides. He draws one arrow after another from his quiver and fires at her attackers.
If the hellhound is still up, 5' step to K24 for a better angle and then shoot at it. If it's down, or if his first arrow drops it, he'll shift his aim to the hobgoblin cleric. 2 attacks at +8 (+6 normal, +1 pbs, +1 haste) for 1d8+1 damage.

Tyrla: warlock 5; HP 22/30; AC 20

Tyrla muttered fluent curses in several languages as the hellhound closed in- she had no desire at all to be at close range with such a creature. Unleashing another arcane bolt at the beast, she scampered up the slope and around towards some of the others.

OOC: Another eldritch blast at point-blank range, then west up the hill and hook south towards Avril and Scarlet. +8 ranged touch, 3d6+1 damage, then 60 feet of move thanks to the Haste- D 13, C 13, then straight south for whatever is left of 60'

Reinforcements

Siobhan: Your first attack misses, your second attack hits and deals 7 damage. (However, I'm not sure why your attack bonus is listed as +11 for the second attack roll. What am I missing?)

Warren: Your attack lands, dealing 13 damage.

Tyrla: Your blast lands, dealing 12 damage to the Hellhound.

Avril: Scarlet attacks, but the hobgoblins defensive fighting works in his favor and he manages to avoid any damaging blow. You follow through with two attacks of your own, but you also fail to land a meaningful mark on the target. The Hobgoblin boasts as he holds out.

Gurguannin: Still raging and dealing with the same Hobgoblin, he attacks, but once again misses his mark.

Hobgoblin Archers: The Hobgoblin trapped between a steep slope, Avril, and Scarlet gets more desperate to hold out for support when he sees Tyrla come around the corner. He attempts a full defense action. The hobgoblin fighting Gurguannin taunts him, and makes another attack while fighting defensively, but doesn't land a hit of his own.

Larian: Your first arrow hits the Hellhound dealing 4 damage and dropping it. Your second arrow does not harm the cleric.

Cleric: The clerics eye catches the arrow, and he looks at Larian. He then takes a 5 foot step to close range, and casts a spell channeling it into a touch attack. The touch connects, and you suddenly become paralyzed. Both Larian and Siobhan identify that the spell cast and taking effect was Hold Person.

The cleric shouts an order to the Bladebearer to wake up and fight.

Bladebearer: The Bladebearer breaks out of his Stun angry. He looks at the Halfling, raises his weapons, and strikes out. The first shortsword misses, but the second lands (27 to hit) dealing 6 points of damage. He doesn't seem satisfied with the damage inflicted and seems dead-set on continuing the attack. He takes a 5 ft. step off to the side as he fights.

Hellhound: The remaining Hellhound moves up the hill and takes a tight corner trying to catch up to Tyrla. He can't quite get in range however. He does find himself in a precarious position looking at Scarlet and Avril as well, but taking advantage of the opportunity the Hellhound uses his Breath Weapon. Tyrla makes the save for half damage, but Avril does not. Avril takes 8 fire damage, Tyrla takes 4.

Reinforcements: New loud hobgoblin voices are heard coming from the South, then the faces of the enemy can be spotted on the road below. Six Hobgoblins in total, they look like they were running here.

 

[Pinotage]

Avril - Human Druid - hp 28/36 - AC 19 - Spot +11 - Listen +11
Scarlet - Riding Dog - hp 30/30 - AC 25 - Spot +5 - Listen +5

"By the spirits!" Avril exclaimed loudly and in anger as the fire from the hound burnt over here. She quickly managed to extinguish the remaining flames, conscious of the burning in her skin and face. Seeing the new arrival, a tiefling no less, flee past her, Avril decided that urgency was required even further. "We must finish these creatures here!" she said, "They seek to split us and delay a regrouping!"

She flicked a hand and barked a command, now trying even harder to get the dog to take down that creature once and for all. Then she stepped away from the hound, letting Scarlet take her place, while she drew out some holly and prepared to cast a spell with the aid of her magical rod. With the creature fighting with such superior defense, she had to make use of its momentary lapse in attacking to cast her spell. She quickly finished as flames erupted in her hand. She thrust the flames at the defensive creature, hoping that the heat would be capable of more easily overcoming its defenses.

OOC: Avril takes a 5 ft. step to D16, and draws her metamagic rod of lesser extend. She then casts Produce Flame (Concentration +10, but since the creature is using total defense, it doesn't get an AoO), extending it with the rod, and attempts a touch attack on the creature. Touch Attack with Produce Flame: +6. Damage: 1d6+5. Avril then handles Scarlet to take a 5 ft. step to D15 and continue to attack the creature at E15 (Handle Animal +12 Vs. DC 10). Scarlet gets two bite attacks with Haste. Bite Attack: +7. Damage: 1d6+4. If Scarlet drops the creature on her first bite, she'll use the second bite on the hound.

Spells Active:

Barkskin (Avril and Scarlet, +2 Natural Armor, 50 min.)
Haste (Avril and Scarlet, +1 Attack, +1 AC, +1 Reflex, +30 ft. speed, 3 rounds)
Produce Flame (Avril, 1d6+5 Damage, Extended, 9/10 minutes)

Spells Cast:

Barkskin
Produce Flame (Extended)

Larian--Transmuter 5--HP: 25--AC:18 (tch 18, ff 14)--f+2, r+5, w+4

Larian stares in horror as he realizes how vulnerable he has just become.

[sblock=ooc] So turning it into a touch attack meant no save, or I failed the save? Either way, ouch. That group of hobgoblins coming up the path is screaming out for my fireball. [/sblock]

Failed the save. Also duration is 3 rounds.

If your curious, it was a 5 rolled, +4 will save, +2 elf bonus.

 

[pathfinderq1]

Tyrla: warlock 5; HP 18/30; AC 20

Tyrla gave voice to a horrible string of syllables, directed mostly at the hellhound. Once again she lashed out with arcane energy, attempting to put the beast down.

OOC: Speaking in Infernal: "Bad dog, Bad dog- why won't you die?" Another PB eldritch blast: +8 ranged touch, 3d6+1 damage. If the hellhound is still standing, continue south towards the cover of the farmhouse wall- if it drops, stay long enough to help put down the hobbo, then move south to support the others.

 

[Redclaw]

I trust you, I was just curious based on the wording of the post. I didn't know if he had some freaky-powerful spell that made it a touch attack instead of a potential save.

 

[Zoycitenega]

Siobhan Lilend - Cleric 5 - HP: 18 - AC: 25(tch 13, ff 23) - Spells: 5| 4 +1 | 3 | 2 +1

Siobhan takes a five-foot step towards the cleric, and tries to put him in the earth.
Attack1: 14
Damage1: 12

Attack 2: 20
Damage2: 13

Rolls

[sblock=OOC]
Explanation for Siobhan's attack:

+3 bs Atk; currently +5 str; +1 haste; +1 wpn focus; +1 mstrwrk wpn
+3+5+1+1+1=11

and she's hasted, so when she makes a full attack she gets an extra attack.

[Arkhandus]

Warren the halfling, HP 27/33, AC 23 (t 18, ff 19), concealed

Warren snarls and dances back from the hobgoblin, fading away with a sweep of his blade....

Creeping around invisibly, Warren reappears right in front of the hobgoblin, after stabbing the hobgoblin cleric with another of his special techniques!

"AVRIL!" he growls out loudly, as the shadows swarm around him when he reappears, continuing to obscure his exact position......and at the same time, pitch-black shadows curl about the hobgoblin's face for a few moments....

[sblock=ooc]Initiating Cloak of Deception as a swift action. Moving 10 feet straight back to square K-25. Then attacking the hobgoblin cleric with Clinging Shadow Strike, which is a sneak attack since he's invisible with CoD.

Warren's attack is made at +12 to hit since he's invisible, against the cleric's flat-footed AC.

Deals 1d4+5+1d6+1d6 damage with the short sword, and the hobgoblin cleric must succeed at a DC 14 Fortitude save, or suffer a 20% miss chance on attacks for 1 round.

Child of Shadow continues to grant Warren concealment for the round, since he moved 10 feet.[/sblock]
