[Pathfinder] Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Hook Mountain Massacre

"Kael! Torch this thing!" yells Jovik as he stabs at the plant creature.

17/46 HP

Ug. Ok. If the thing took a five foot move towards the door, I should be able to slide down, 5 ft step, in front of Kael to flank with Danth.

In that case, full attack.
1d20+9=27, 1d4+2+1d6+4d6=21
1d20+4=13, 1d4+2+1d6+4d6=31

Edit forgot flanking bonus so should be 29 and 15 to hit.



If not take the first as an attack and then jovik tumbles out of the way behind Danth! back to the fireplace.

Tumble roll 1d20+14=24

Kael slips from the grasp of the plant-thing, and steps back towards Danth. The rogue stabs up at the Tendriculos, his blade digging deep into its strangely fleshy arm. It hollers.

The plant beast seems enraged, pulling its bulk from the broken floor and whatever chamber lies beneath. It is HUGE. Danth gasps. Jovik feels a shiver of fear momentarily surge through him. The thing they are looking at is some fifteen foot tall. Its bulk is immense. It rises up as it lets out an animal roar. Even in this house of monstrous size, this creature dwarves everything. As it rises up, it hits the ceiling, splitting ceiling boards, and showering dirt and wood to the floor around you all.

It appears that Jovik has annoyed it!

Back up front, Jokad can hear the commotion behind him, but he has no time to check it out. His companions need to handle whatever danger has arisen there, Jokad has two adolescent ogre-kin to take care of.

The first ogre-kin attacks with his crude ogre-hook, but Jokad's combat senses are far too fast for this cack-handed attack. He turns the ogre-hook aside easily, as he lines the ogre-kin up for a return blow.

(he misses)

The second ogre-kin laughs at the misfortune of his brother.

"You gonna die ugly!" he shouts. "Mammy never did love you!"

Back in the main room, Kael turns toward the plant-thing eruption and pulls forth from source of eldritch power and a deep, crimson ray of fiery might lances forth at the rearward foe. Mal moves into a protective position by his partner's side.

The magic flame misses its target as the plant-thing rises up fully from the chamber below.

Jokad can hear the explosion behind him. He slams Crimson Dawn into the first ogre-kin, skewering the thing through the middle. He withdraws the blade and tries again, but misses.

The ogre-kin is hurt real bad, crying like a baby at the pain, but still focused on Jokad and on the battle.

From the corridor to the left you can hear the woman's voice again.

"Mammy is coming my boys. Mammy is coming!"

OOC: Round 2 actions and inits please!
 

rd 2

The thunderous chaos behind him spurs Jokad to greater frenzy. He ferociously beats aside the first ogre-kin's pitiful slash and delivers a powerful counter that blasts past the fool's paltry defense landing another butcher's blow.

If my first attack drops the wounded ogre-kin, Jokad will step forward 5' and hit ogre #2 with his 2nd AT. [/sblock]

AC 20 [22 Danth], HPs 86/72
 

Kael AC: 20; Mal AC: 26; Spells Remaning - 1: 5; 2: 4; 3: 3

The look of dull shock upon Kael's face says it all, as he reaches to tap into the same font of power that he previously did, yet nothing answers.

Stunned, Kael is looking at his outstretched hand as if he had just slapped him in the privates and then gave him a still rudder gesture.

"More fire Kaell!" calls out the rogue. Jovik was hurt. This plant thing was rough. Jokad had to deal with two ogres alone. And Mammy was coming. Things needed to change and fast. Jovik struck out quickly, finding soft patches without lignin where his daggers could sink deeply and the phloem oozed out quickly.

Darn it. Forgot the flanking bonus again. 19 and 23 to hit, if those both hit 51 damage.

As Danth completes his casting, a ball of fiery reddish-gold light appears in the air. Darting back and forth, the latern archon engages the plant creature, searing beams of light flashing in the dim chamber.

As the archon attacks, Danth moves to heal Jovik, knowing the rogue is in bad shape. Sarenae's grace flows into the rogue, reversing the damage inflicted by the giant plant-beast.

"More fire Kaell!" calls out the rogue. Jovik was hurt. This plant thing was rough. Jokad had to deal with two ogres alone. And Mammy was coming. Things needed to change and fast. Jovik struck out quickly, finding soft patches without lignin where his daggers could sink deeply and the phloem oozed out quickly.

The beast-thing reared up in rage and hurt, its mind a wash with the two hot points of pain that had speared into its body. Its movement shatters the roof above, causing wooden planks and bits of rubbish and other indescribable items to fall from the room above, showering you all with dust and debris.

OOC: Tendriculos now at -72hp

The thunderous chaos behind him spurs Jokad to greater frenzy. He ferociously beats aside the first ogre-kin's pitiful slash and delivers a powerful counter that blasts past the fool's paltry defense landing another butcher's blow.

The first ogre-kin is quickly sliced into two parts. His brother laughs as he sees his sibling cut apart. Blood showers both of you.

Jokad doesn't like the idea of the ogre-kin taking such delight in the death of his brother. It riles him. Where he comes from, you would die for your family.

Jokad barrels on through, following up with a hard thrust into the second ogre-kin. His blade bites deep and sends the ogre-kin staggering and gasping in pain.

Perhaps stunned by the pain of the rapid attack that he has just suffered, the second ogre-kin misses with his ill-timed attack (ooc: miss).

The look of dull shock upon Kael's face says it all, as he reaches to tap into the same font of power that he previously did, yet nothing answers.

Stunned, Kael is looking at his outstretched hand as if he had just slapped him in the privates and then gave him a still rudder gesture.

As Danth completes his casting, a ball of fiery reddish-gold light appears in the air. Darting back and forth, the latern archon engages the plant creature, searing beams of light flashing in the dim chamber.

As the archon attacks, Danth moves to heal Jovik, knowing the rogue is in bad shape. Sarenae's grace flows into the rogue, reversing the damage inflicted by the giant plant-beast.

The archon's attacks, his first beam of light missing, his second lancing into the body of the plant thing, but failing to penetrate the thick hide.

The tendriculos stretches it incredible body forward and with a single motion attempts to swallow Jovik whole.

OOC: I need Jovik to make a COMBAT MANEUVER DEFENSE roll against the Tendriculos roll of 25)
 

OOC: Hey, hewligan...I don't know the plant-things special qualities and whatnot, but an Archon's attacks are ranged touch attacks (so they only have to hit touch AC), and they penetrate all damage resistance. Jut wanted to point that out in case it matters at all. :D

PFSRD said:
Determine Success: If your attack roll equals or exceeds the CMD of the target, your maneuver is a success and has the listed effect. Some maneuvers, such as bull rush, have varying levels of success depending on how much your attack roll exceeds the target's CMD. Rolling a natural 20 while attempting a combat maneuver is always a success (except when attempting to escape from bonds), while rolling a natural 1 is always a failure.

I don't roll, The CMD is a target number, so in Jovik's case he has a CMD of 20, so the plant had to roll above that, which he did. So Jovik is apparently swallowed whole. Good thing Danth healed me first!

46/46 HP Back to Full, and just in time it looks like!

Hrmm, looks like I need to look into the Defensive Combat Training feat :)

Jokad risks a glance over his shoulder to see just what is causing so much havoc behind him. "Lamashtu's teats!" he curses inwardly. The house jolts and groans under the creature's impact. He knows he can't turn his back on his current foe so he maintains his furious onslaught hoping to finish him quickly.

Over the din of the shaking, crumbling house and the monstrous roars he yells, "Arrows attack!!! Front door only!!!"

[sblock]OOC: Hmmm... what to do? Jovik is in trouble. Plant guy is wreaking havoc. Ogre-kin almost down but Momma is comin!?

INIT 12 (middle of the pack, not terribly helpful)

I guess I will attack to finish off the last ogre-kin and see what actions he has left. Is that OK Hew? As a free action he calling to the Black Arrows outside hoping they hear and can help with the plant-guy.

1st AT hit AC 24 for 16 sword + 1 fire; 2nd AT (if needed) Hit AC 19 for 15 sword + 3 fire
