[LPF] Kaedyn's Quest

Ru Brike, rangerish human ninja



"What do you say, Princess? Up for more sweet talking?" Ru whispers to Damaris as he lets his pack fall to the ground with a practiced shrug. He takes Lai Tai's lead and slips into the forest growth across the path from him.

"Now, gents, there's really no need to get all prickly, is there? We'll just be getting blood all over the pretty scenery, and who wants that?"

[sblock=ooc]Just a heads up, PM: after his level up, Ru has 39 HP. Looks like your party status block is from his level 3

Free: Drop Backpack
Move: to F5

If it's available, I'll throw an Aid Another Diplomacy on to help Damaris try to quell the fight, though I don't know if that's an option:

"A Tiefling... this doesn't look good" she whispers to Ru. "Are those... oh goddess, I can't believe it. Gith! Ru, I might need a hand or this will turn ugly very quickly"


Damaris moves ahead into the bushes. "Woah, boys, there's no need to get all violent. I think there might be some misunderstanding here. We are civilized people, aren't we? Can we just talk this one out?"

If Diplomacy doesn't work, Damaris will immediately cast Invisibility on herself.

Knowledge (Planes) (1d20+10=24)

Thuvian manages to hide his disgust for the folks in front of him for the most part, but only with great effort. He steps into the edge of the forest, prepared to vanish should things go south, which he fully expects. Nora is less hesitant, as the everyone close to Thuvian can hear a definite hiss of disapproval coming from his backpack.

- Hostilities are started, they moved to attack & you just won initiative. I will resolve the Stone Call.

- I will update the Knowledge Results on the GM update.[/Sblock]

Tyrion moves to behind cover of the rock, to hope that the arrows will be deflected by the rock face. He keeps his hammer poised at the ready.

Updated Map

~ Day 13, 16:00 - In the Darkwood ~

As you move into position and start casting spells, the battle was joined. The falling stones severely wound at least half of the Githyanki, but only Tyrion can tell.

Off to Tyrion's left where he heard the noise a humanoid shape was moving closer and then everything goes dim and he can no longer see very well. Then it got even darker.

Past Thuvian to the south, Lai Tai and Thuvian heard another noise of someone tryingt o sneak in the undergrowth and then things grow dim and then dark as Lai Tai is enveloped in unatural darkness.



Thuvian can see some of the Githyanki and the Tiefling moving around, but tree trunks and boulders are preventing him from seeing much. Two arrows from the closest warriors missed Tyrion.

[sblock=Combat Information]Stone call did: 2,11,9,9,8,10,7 respectively
Thuvian Vanished
Tyrion & Lai Tai are the center of darkness spells (2 spells hit them each in succession).
G3, G6 missed Tyrion
T1, G4, G5 double moved
G1 & G2 have unknown actions to you

[/sblock] Updated Map
[sblock=Map Notes]Be careful with the darkness circles. If you move a token from underneath, you have to move the darkness out of teh way, then put it back to center on either Lai Tai or Tyrion.

1. Dark colored vegetation is difficult terrain if more than 50% of Square for medium creatures or smaller & provides 20%(roll 1d100: 1-20 misses) concealment being bushes from ranged attacks, 50% concealment for small creatures or prone medium ones.
2. Trees and Large Boulders provide hard cover and block LOS. Small boulders are like half walls, only cover.
3. Large bodies provide difficult terrain for medium creatures or smaller[/sblock]
[sblock=Knowledge Check Results]Damaris and Thuvian recognized the other pointed-eared outsiders as being Githyanki. They were another typically evil people that possessed some extraordinary abilities and resistances. They had inherent magical affinity to cast a couple of minor spells (Mage Hand & Daze). They were resistant (5) to electricity.

Thuvian also knew they are resistance to spells as well (SR5+HD)[/sblock]

Ru Brike, rangerish human ninja

[sblock=ooc]Ah. K. I misread the situation. I managed to turn "aim" into "draw," in relation to the bows, so I thought they were readying against a group they didn't know, not starting an attack to resolve during the round. My bad.[/sblock]

Ru sighed as the light dimmmed considerably. "Days getting shorter all the time," he whispers to Damaris before slipping past her and toward Tyrion in the dim light.

[sblock=ooc]Double move to E10. I think I counted it out right with the difficult terrain.

With the magical darkness falling around him, and undergrowth pulling at his legs, Lai Tai decides to eliminate at least one problem. "Tremendous Spirit Fills the Vessel!" he shouts, his height immediately doubling. In the darkness, he takes an experimental step forward and nods, pleaed with the results.

Updated map

[sblock=OOC]Swift: Arcane Strike (in the unlikely case of AoO)
Full round: Enlarge Person on self

Thuvian is completely unfazed by the darkness. "Don't waste time on magic attacks on the Gith. Save that for the others," is Thuvian's only response as he fades away from view.
Nora gives another hiss of contempt for the party's obviously foolish foes before going quiet, being smart enough to know not to give away her master's location moving forward. Thuvian's next action is to cast fly, though as usual, he casts it in such a way as to confuse all but the most observant of enemy casters; once cast, he moves to a convenient branch of one of the nearby trees to provide himself cover from both the creatures on the ground as well as protection from the flying creature he presumes is still about should that prove to be necessary. From there, he glances about, getting a better view of the battlefield.

[sblock=actions]Perception (1d20+6=25) (subtract 3, not sure where I got the 6 from)
Cast Fly
Move to K-11 (or one of the squares next to it, landing on a convenient branch up in the tree above the reach of the ground folks with as much protection from ranged attacks as possible)[/sblock]

[sblock=GM Notes]@Sunshadow21; You will need to keep track of elevation in your OOC crunch, and make applicable Fly Skill checks for difficult maneuvers.

Trees: For simplicity, the trunks would be straight until 20 feet elevation (as I did not put any of the small saplings on the map as they count for the difficult terrain). The leave canopy ranges from 50-75ft up. Since the original square would be squeezing, I moved Thuvian to L11
[MENTION=93930]Systole[/MENTION]: 5ft Step in the undergrowth for large creatures is okay. Except last time I checked, Full Round Casting time doesn’t trigger until free action on the following turn. So you have to survive the round before the spell completes. So I put him back to normal size and took away 5ft step for this round.

I included an updated map.[/sblock]
