Game Master Feral

Ensu hears Krojun appear behind him, knowing he needs to heal all he can he lifts his holy symbol and wave of healing power washes over you.

I believe I can get all the characters and none of the giants.

Channel, no giants, DC 18 rage boy: 6d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3, 6, 3, 2, 5) + 1 = 24

HP 36/79

Less damage spread over all of you peeps, more giants dead, please.

Wrapping himself within his cape, the injured Krojun steps sideways through the spirit realm and appears near Ensu. Calling out to his uncaring patron the gnome prays and Nethys provides for his small servant, mending the wounds of the heroes. Jessamy follows up by slashing open the shin of the nearest giant with her witch-charmed dagger and Pirknok heavily wounds the giant nearest him but fails to bring it down.

Siolad is up.

Siolad turns his depleted magical wrath on Pirknok's target, punching the air and sending another blast of force at the beast!

Ranged Touch Attack (Into Melee): 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 4 = 24

Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Following on Pirknok's momentum Siolad fires off another burst of magical force at the reeling giant. His eye bulge as it slams just a bit lower than the elf had been aiming for and the giant crumbles to the ground clutching his groin. It's down. =P

The other giants thunder forward to fend off the heroes.

Two crits? Really?

Blame the dorf.

Objection! Not dorf's fault!

Dorf takes 21 and heals 24; Nome takes 22...

Pirknok growls and keeps swinging! Gonna use another round of haste.

Where did my other ally go? I really need to get into a flank here...

Head ringing from the nearly fatal blows and breath coming in short gasps, Jessamy takes a step back, holding her blades in a defensive stance as she jabs carefully at the closest giant.fighting defensively; +2 AC She grins, showing blood-stained teeth, as her sword again comes away bloody.

Ensu feels the hits almost as bad as Pirknok does but realizes quickly that Jessamy has taken more damage.

He reaches out his off hand while grasping his holy symbol and holding it close to his tabard. Reach meta added, 2/3

Reach Cure Serious Wounds: 3d8 + 1 + 12 ⇒ (5, 3, 3) + 1 + 12 = 24

His hand seems to extend across the space between the little gnome and Jessamy, the hand touches her on the shoulder and a flash of divine power transfers into her.

Dorf, it would be good you don't take much damage this round since I am sitting low.

HP 14/79

Well tell HopeCrusher to stop rolling so high!

Krojun and Siolad are up.

"Jess! Pirknok! Pull back!" Siolad calls out. "There's four of them and two of you--you're going to get trampled!"

He punches the air in front of him, sending another blast of force at Jess' target.

Ranged Touch Attack (Into Melee): 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 4 = 7
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

He then takes a couple of steps backward. Move to AM 31.

HP 35/140

Feeling much less like mule-chow, Krojun steels himself. He begins the chant of the storms, calling lightning down on the giant attacking Jessamy! 3d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 6) = 16 electrical damage, Reflex DC 18 for half!

Jess frowns, the pain of her wounds continuing, despite Ensu's help, for which she gives a quick smile over her shoulder. She continues slashing, carefully, at the giant, grudgingly backing up.

Attack defensively, then five-foot step to AQ-32

Jess you already posted for this round. I'll apply that to next round. You are correct. The 2d6 from bane isn't doubled on a crit but the +2 is.

Reflex: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Pirknok badly wounds the giant nearest him while Jessamy begins working on the one of the pair attacking her, aided by Krojun's summoned lightning. Siolad's burst of force flies over the head of his target and slams into the ceiling.

The giants strike back without fear!

***

Despite her injuries, Jessamy fights back with a vengeance. She jams her witch-charmed dagger deep into the nearest giant's leg.

Enemies colored in red are on fire. Everyone but Jess is up.

Dorf takes 14, Ensu takes 15. Sorry, gnome. :(

HP: 55/135

Pirknok grunts and grimaces as one of the giants leaves him with yet another bruise. Glancing back, his eyes widen in horror at the effect of the wound on the gnome! Returning his attention to the fracas, he engages whole-heartedly in trying to destroy the foul giants. Another round of haste... 3/10.

Oops; I got overly excited. Jessamy takes no wounds and does what she said she'd do last time...

Siolad grimaces and fires another telekinetic blast at Jessamy's target.

Ranged Touch Attack (Into Melee): 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 8 - 4 = 6
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Ensu falls to the ground unconscious. HP -1/79

Krojun starts to concentrate on his spell, then sees Ensu fall. He steps to his side, and casts cure moderate wounds on him! CMW: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (4, 1) + 8 = 13

HP 12/79 I believe that breaks the Shield Other spell too

I don't think it does, unfortunately.

"Gnome, you take too much on yourself. Perhaps next time, cast that spell between Pirknok and myself. I have more flesh to take the damage." Krojun rumbles as he stands over the gnome protectively.

Ensu blinks and looks up. He says weakly, "The dwarf needs to learn to dodge better. And besides, you'd be dead before you could teleport...I should have healed myself instead of Jessamy."

Is Ensu going to take an action?

Oh..okay didn't realize I could

Ensu heals himself.

Cure serious wounds: 3d8 + 1 + 12 ⇒ (3, 8, 4) + 1 + 12 = 28

HP 48/79

The frenzied dwarf brutally cuts down one giant and advances burying his katana in the belly of another while Krojun and Ensu use their magics to try to stem the tide of injuries the party's suffering. Siolad's punch of magical force once again veers far off target.

The giants hesitate and one even breaks formation, fleeing out the back of the chamber past the enormous fur curtain hanging at the rear. The other two steel themselves and strike back.

Enemies colored in red are on fire. The party is up.

Dorf takes 20, Ensu takes 20... sowwy Ensu. It's not my fault, really. Even dodging better won't make the DM stop rolling 20s.

Pirknok breathes a sigh of relief as Ensu seems to be alright, but his relief is short-lived as another of the giants slams into him. Giving a roar of outrage, he returns his attention to the enemy and attempts to de-knee-capitate the monsters! Haste 4/10 after first attack.

Paging the rest of my slackers.

Dang! Too many gaming concerns calling for my attention right now! Sorry.

"Pirknok, over here! I need help!" Jessamy calls as she feels another rib fracture.

She cuts at the giant again, falling back once more as she finishes her series of thrusts. 5-foot step to the northwest again; unless the giant falls, in which case 5-foot step to the east

HP 51/79

Siolad throws another telekinetic punch at Jessamy's giant opponent.

Ranged Touch Attack (Into Melee): 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 8 - 4 = 22
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Pirknok slashes his giant's knees badly wounding it but not bringing the brute down. Jessamy and Siolad fare better dropping another giant in a flurry of dagger-jabs and force-punches. Ensu's uncaring patron heals the party once again.

Krojun is up.

Krojun, his song still lingering, directs a lightning bolt at the last giant! Lightning: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 1) = 8 Reflex DC 18 for half

Reflex: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Krojun’s thunderbolt scorches the already badly burned giant. He groans but strikes back desperately.

Damage: 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (4, 3) + 12 = 19

The party quickly overwhelms the last giant a moment later. A titanic roar echoes through the chamber a second after. Something very large is coming from the other side of the hide curtain.

You guys have 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 rounds of healing/prep.

Dorf's at 58/135... can haz healing plz?

"Something else is coming," Jessamy whispers. "Do you have magic to heal us, Ensu? And can you fight up with us Krojun? Or maybe summon something to help, Siolad? If you and Pirknok can distract it, I can do a lot more! Or ... should we fall back?"

She furiously pats her pockets, realizing she doesn't have any healing potions. 30/85 hp

Jessamy's a ton more effective in a flank, which she can actually get even if two allies threaten an enemy. Let's see if Ensu can heal us. If not, we have to fall back. If so, maybe Pirknok and she can set up for a traditional flank, since that would have made that last fight a lot easier.

Idea 2 if we want to fight: We fall back to the side tunnel to the south. If it's really big, it might have to squeeze in this tunnel and that could help us.

Also, GM, can she use her touch of good on herself? If not, she can try to do that on Pirknok/Krojun right before the creature comes through the curtain, which I assume is at the far side of the map.

Yeah you can Touch of Good yourself. In Pathfinder you are your own ally. Yes, the curtain is across the far side of the cavern you’re in now.

Krojun nods and hefts his axe. "Indeed I can, Jess. I simply saw the afterlife a bit closer than I expected for a moment. Friend gnome, do you have miracles yet to heal us?"

Ensu raises his holy symbol and chants a prayer.

And again.

HP 79/79

Update your health you slackers and let me see what to do with my last two rounds of prep. And Dorfy, stay away from my dice..Please make sure you add in any healing from Combat those who are ungrateful jerks and overcome my DC.

Dorf hasn't been raging, so he's been getting all the healing you've been dishing out. HP after your latest two channels is 93/135.

Do we have any potions lying around? If so, I can quaff one or two of those...

Good question.

Quickly rummaging around the giants' belongings, Pirknok and Jessamy find some assorted coinage and a few unmarked flasks.

1000 gold and 3 potions of CSW but it takes two of your prep turns searching.

65/85; one more good one, please?

Let me see what Krojun is at, since I am sure the wizard didn't take damage. If we can control the damage to 2 or less, my life becomes less deadly...One of you tank! If we need the potions are a good idea. But I have some powerful spells left so you'll be a bit fine. If you would, when you take hits, post OOC, so I can keep track, please?

Dorf will search for the first two prep rounds, then. That way everybody else can buff or heal.

Krojun has a Cure Moderate Wound wand. Here goes, whoever needs them, take them!

CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (8, 7) + 3 = 18
CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2) + 3 = 9
CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 7) + 3 = 15
CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 4) + 3 = 11

Edit: As Jess pointed out, two more uses during the channels!
CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 1) + 3 = 10
CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 8) + 3 = 17

Looks like Krojun's at 93/140; he's got a wand of cure mod, so he could've hit himself with it twice while Ensu was channeling. Also, if Jessamy can get in a flank, she can use Combat Expertise to boost her AC while still having a chance to hit (her player should also remember to do that instead of fighting defensively, as it's a much better tradeoff).

NINJA'd: If Krojun takes the first two for himself, one more good channel should probably have us in pretty good shape; possibly one more hit of the wand for whoever's at the lowest spot, then we can get in position at the curtain to flank at round 3; at round 4, Jessamy will use touch of good on herself.

I always forget that with my RL rogue... to the point that I have a little card to remind me. :P

Dorf will not decline a boop with the CMW wand. Krojun, are you using it on yourself at all? Lemme know so I know which one of those to take. :)

Krojun's more likely to hit Pirknok first and ensure he's up to full or close. 93 HP is pretty good for Krojun and I can heal more later if needed.

We've only got 4 rounds, so four CMWs at most; probably one fewer as we get in position.

If Pirky gets those first two wand hits, he's at 120/135; Jessamy is at 65/85 and Krojun at 93/140 after the channels. If Ensu can channel once more, let whoever's lowest get the third wand hit and then we'll get in position.
