Dark Fairytale IC

[Neurotic]

OOC: This sounds like a nightmare fight for a psionic Just like it was in 3E+ for rogues. I was thinking about Mold Earth (difficult terrain) and Ray of frost (-10' move)...but if it is fully inside, it's too late. So...fire!

"Dwarves! Get siege engines! Now! Wind up the ballistas! We need to slow this thing! I can make it even slower, but we need the space"

Spoiler: Actions

Move: away from the thing (moving behind it giving it wide berth
Attack:
3rd level scorching ray; fire damage: 1D20+7 = [8]+7 = 15
2D6 = [5, 1] = 6
1D20+7 = [4]+7 = 11
2D6 = [1, 4] = 5
1D20+7 = [13]+7 = 20
2D6 = [2, 4] = 6
1D20+7 = [9]+7 = 16
2D6 = [6, 6] = 12
To hit (damage): 15 (6), 11 (5), 20 (6), 16 (12) - for AC 15 - 24 damage

Wild surge control roll: 1D20+4-3 = [19]+4-3 = 20

Shildoor hurls his javelin of lightning speaking the word "Folga" as he does so. As it streaks toward the target, it becomes a bolt of lightning.

Javelin of Lightning: 1D20+8 = [9]+8 = 17
1D6+5 = [4]+5 = 9
Lightning damage: 4D6 = [6, 3, 5, 4] = 18

The javelin reappears in his hand afterward. (bonus action: weapon bond)

 

[Azurewraith]

After the ineffectiveness of the first volly of attacks, the second proves to be much more effective the rays of heat cause the air to shimmer as all but one cause the strange creation some pain, likewise the javelin arcs through the air wreathed in lightning causes the Golem to spasm, emboldened by the assault Colember throws his own attacks into the mix infusing his blade with holy energy that causes the Golem some pain
Kaleth focuses his mind in order to restrain the creature sucesfull halting it's advance.

The Golem attempts to break free from the invisible restraints holding it within place but for all his excellent mime work he is still trapped inside the box.

GM: The Golem is now grappled as such his speed is 0. Round 3.

 

[jmucchiello]

Shildoor thinks they need magic to harm this thing and he only has one source of magic damage, his javelin of lightning. He throws it again. Recalling the javelin as afterward.

Javelin of Lightning (no lightning but still magic): 1D20+8 = [12]+8 = 20
1D6+5 = [2]+5 = 7

 

[Neurotic]

Leonan thinks about the problem of how to stop the monstrosity...and his face brightens as the creation stops completely.

"Get some ropes around it and keep it immobile whatever you have to do. And keep out of the cloud. Keep it inside!"

With that mysterious comment, he whips out a small mirror and after a merest moment of admiring himself, he throws it behind the golem where it splinters into a myriad of pieces. The pieces don't lay quietly but zoom around in a deadly dance of cutting shards which bite into the creatures hide.

OOC: The effect is 20' cube so we should be able to attack it from three squares. But I would advise just holding it inside or even push it deeper, but still immobilized. Duration is concentration 10 min

Spoiler: Actions

Action: Break Mirror of insect plague behind the golem

Move: as needed to get good line of sight and be as far from it as possible

Piercingdamage to the golem: 4D10 = [7, 7, 9, 4] = 27 - nicely over the average CON save DC 15 for half

Piercing damage to the golem: 4D10 = [1, 1, 2, 4] = 8 - but then ofcourse WAAAY under it (this is lower than half the average which is 22 ) - this damage happens at the end of creatures turn

 

[Azurewraith]

Just as a series of dwarf guards arrive they are quickly sent away again to find some ropes to bind the creature. Shildor's javelin strikes the Golem embedding itself in the shoulder before magically reappearing in the goliaths hand. As the mirror smashes the shards become a series of tiny glass insects that rush towards their target swarming creating a cloud of sharp pointy death. Kaleth focus his mind on maintaining the restraint while adding a extra little squeeze in a attempt to crush the Golem. Colember steps back away from the cloud and readies him self incase the creature breaks loose.

The Golem pushes against it's invisible restraints in a attempt to break free, its efforts are sucesfull as it surges forward towards the paladin who springs into action attempting to wrestle with the creature who sucesfull gets a hold on the Golem halting its advance. As the Golem leaves the cloud the insects surge around him leaving several small cuts.

GM: Next round, the Golem is currently 5ft in front of the cloud and is starting to show small signs of wear.

 

[Neurotic]

Leonan rushes forward trying to separate the golem and the paladin. He bends forward and screams! Thunderous wave rolls away from him, the distortion visible in the air. As it hits the golem, it swirls in all the colors of the rainbow as the probability wave hits it.

At the same time, Leonan frowns and cringes as he loses control of his magic. Wild magic causes colors to erupt around him too and he looks around expectantly (and fearfully) for the effect to materialize.

But the danger is always present with his casting. He calls upon the residual magic of his casting to cast another spell. Ray of frost shoots toward the beast in an attempt to further slow its movement. The ray bends a bit as it enters the zone of bent reality and it focuses strongly into the chest of the monster.

[jmucchiello]

OOC: I'll post after seeing what the surge does.

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

OOC: Hey I'm back and will take over Kaleth on the next turn.

GM: You where using a custom surge source, I don't have access to it.

I've sent it to you both in link and PDF - it would be unfair of me to have something you cannot check.

Here is the first one
2416 Caster's auditory perceptions are inverted left-to-right

Surge roll for tides of chaos: 1D10000 = [8329] = 8329 I've sent you PM

 

[Azurewraith]

The Golem is shoved backwards by the force of the thunderous wave back towards the back of the cloud of glass shard insects. Accompanying the thunderous roar all light fades before returning to the room in a bright red flash. Standing in the center of the party with a smell of brimstone,a 9ft tall demon stands before you the upper part of her body belonging to a woman who was possibly once beautiful but is now covered in scars and burns from many battles. The demon looks confused and quickly assesses her surroundings before lashing with her many arms each with a wicked curved blade with serrated edges. The first strike deals a devastating blow to Leo catching him across his torso and taking down the entire length the rest of the attacks directed at the other party members are ineffective with the swings either going wide or bouncing off armour physical or magical. "Who dares summon me! Worthless mortals!" the demon then surges forward with inhuman speed shattering through the door

[dm] Sorry but Leo took a crit taking 24 points of damage, didn't turn out to bad in all honesty. Shildor and Kaleth still have their actions.[/gm]

 

[jmucchiello]

Shildoor shouts at Leonin and points at the demon, "Did you do that?"

He steps forward and takes two strikes at the demon with his flail but (probably) fails to land either attack.

Two flail attacks: 1D20+8 = [7]+8 = 15
1D8+5 = [4]+5 = 9
1D20+8 = [4]+8 = 12
1D8+5 = [7]+5 = 12

 

[Neurotic]

OOC: @Azurewraith, I'll need a refresher on vitality points since I just got hit for more than CON HP I'm at 24/48 now, but I received more than vitality HP in one hit.

"AArrrgh!" comes the eloquent reply from the stricken sorcerer as he look in horror at the creature that cut him.

 

[jmucchiello]

"Got it," Shildoor replies.

 

[Azurewraith]

GM: Your vitality is your con score and is used for determining your maximum hp. For every 10 points of damage a character takes it reduces vitality by 1, if it by a crit reduce vitality by double what would have been reduced. Losing vitality reduces a characters maximum hp as if there con mod had dropped so each drop from even to odd would reduce your max hp by your characters level. You regain 1+con mod vitality after a long rest, falling to 0 vit automatically reduces you to 0 hp Man I'd forgotten all about this. Just need Kaleth's action.

 

[Neurotic]

OOC: so...24 from a crit == -4 (or -6) vitality which comes to -2 x 6 HP from the max. I'm at 24/36 not 24/48

 

[jmucchiello]

OOC: Does vitality apply first or last? If it's first, Leo's at 12/36. I would not call that "not too bad"

 

[Azurewraith]

GM: that's a fair point that isn't covered so I'll say it's applied last as I don't want to be to mean.

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

OOC: Sorry trying to figure things out. Is the golem grappled by Colember in the cloud right now?
