OOC: Endur's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil

[Endur]

Racial Bonus vs. Template of Target

FYI-- I apply Racial bonus modifiers even if the underlying creature has had a template applied.

So bonuses against Ogres work against Ogres with a Skeleton Template, a Half-fiend Template, etc.

 

[Dalamar]

Great, skeletons. Like Kerwyn wasn't bad at dealing damage before

Oh well, at least he only needs to run faster than the dwarf

 

[Thanee]

FYI

(8+5=13, hit for 7 damage)

I think to hit should only be +4 (+2 Dex, +1 BAB, +1 PBS), unless there's something else figured in.

But I guess a 12 is still good enough (good that Chat is paralyzed and there is no "in melee" penalty... no Precise Shot yet. ).

Bye
Thanee

 

[Endur]

Oops, I was applying ability focus as weapon focus. Sorry. Forgot that Ability Focus could modify your frightening blast DC.

At the end of round 3, the three ghouls were destroyed and Gnaw is hiding in the torture chamber.

The party fighting the ghouls has heard the sounds of battle coming from the other room, where Raner is holding off the skeleton infantry while the two rogues fire their crossbows at the evil cultist.

 

[Seonaid]

. . . and Toriah is one attack away from death. Help!

Ghoul Fever

I just realized that a 3.5 Paladin does not get immunity to disease until 3rd level. So I rolled Craven's save when he was bitten. He is not feeling the effects yet, but he has been infected with Ghoul Fever.

Fighting lots of bad guys at once

Fighting lots of bad guys at once made it an EL8 encounter, so you did get lots of experience points for that combat.

6 CR 1/3 Skeletons
2 CR 1 Gnolls
3 CR 1 Ghouls
1 CR 2 Skeleton
1 CR 2 Cultist
1 CR 3 Gnaw
total = EL 8

And since some of them got away, you might get to fight them again for more exp!

 

[Dalamar]

EL 8? Yikes, no wonder we were so hard-pressed, an encounter of that level is supposed to drain most of our resources (spells, hp, etc).

Want one more level to actually start feeling safe from dying to a lucky shot. Not to mention the skill points and my Fort save becoming something else than a zero. And Lylamwyn getting 2nd level spells so we'll be a lot more safe.

 

[Endur]

After the next encounter or two, you'll be third level. Just depends on how high of an EL it is.
