IC Game Thread - The Hunt Starts

[kevin_video]

The death giant doesn't seem to take notice of Raynor. Just that he's been successful on hitting the dragonborn orc that's flying about his territory.

Everyone within the range of his guardian souls will pay for daring to trespass.

Melkior, Raynor, Drexs, and Alenatorion need to make Will saves at DC 41. If you're successful, you're just shaken. If you fail, you become panicked, drop everything you hold in your hands, and must flee at top speeds from the source of your fear (aka until you can't see or hear it anymore [100 ft]). After that, you're still shaken for 24 hours. It's mind-affecting and sonic, for purposes of resisting bonuses. If you're immune to either, you're fine.

Shaken

-2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

[kevin_video]

Percentage that Alenatorion's sword is in his hand to make him immune to mind-affecting (40% or higher). 1d100=68
Instantaneous Rage + Sword = immune to the death giant's guardian souls. He's fine.

Drexs will save 1d20+27=39+2 from aura =31. Saved

The Concordant Killer isn't panicked, but still shaken. Free action to fire out a wand, uses a charge for Heroism to get back the -2 he lost for his standard, and then free action to put that wand into his glove of storing. He moves closer to the gargoyle and Melkior so that the cleric can get the flank.

The gargoyle seems to be unaffected by the wailing of the death giant's guardian souls, and continues onwards.

Randomizer to hit Alenatorion (1) or Melkior (2).
1d2=2 = Melkior

The gargoyle pounces the cleric with incredible frenzied speed.

1d20+57=62, 1d20+57=71, 1d20+57=76, 1d20+57=60, 1d20+54=55, 1d20+54=74
A natural 1 on the bite. Can't be hit with a critical because of heavy fortification armor, so no confirmation rolls.

Damage: 4 claw attacks 3d6+26=31, 3d6+26=40, 3d6+26=33, 3d6+26=36
1 gore 3d6+13=30

DC 20 spot check for Melkior on the gargoyle.

The creature has two completely different coloured and shaped eyes. The left one looks like a regular gargoyle's eye, but the right one looks like someone plucked it out, and replaced it with a demon's eye.

[kevin_video]

Roryn casts Prayer. Everyone within 40 feet gets +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks, while each foe takes a -1 penalty on such rolls. The gargoyle doesn't have any SR, so don't need to roll passed it.

[Mixster]

Melkior is immune to fear effects, everybody else will get +2 from his aura.

Remember to take a DC 27 Will save after the first hit on Melkior, or the Gargoyle will be stunned. If the Gargoyle is not stunned, Melkior will go down, but to prevent that, Alkazar will cast Celerity and then switch places with him with Benign Transposition, after the third hit. (poor dwarf guy riding on his back though).

[kevin_video]

Gargoyle will save against Stunning. 1d20+25=32

You'll need to make a CL check for Alkazar to see if the spell he casts, works correctly. I'm PMing you first though.

[Stormcrow]

will save 1d20+17 ? [15,17] = (32)

Even with Melkior's +2, that's still not quite enough. You are most definitely panicked, and will be diving back into the trees on your next turn.

[kevin_video]

Forgot a skill check for Melkior. Besides the previous spot check, I need one other. It's opposed.

Spot check vs 1d20+13=33

You can tell that the gargoyle's not attacking you with everything. It's smiling at you as two lumps on either side of its body start to move and grow. It's hiding two additional arms.

[kevin_video]

Raptor can join in later, if he wants.

Initiative

Raynor 26
Death Giant 25
Drexs 25
Gargoyle 21
Roryn 17
Alkazar 14
other 7
Alenatorion 7
Melkior 4

[Mixster]

Melkior will test knowledge (religion) to see if the Gargoyle is undead.
1d20+32=51
(assuming it's not).
Not undead, fire away Alkazar

Alkazar will move as close as needed (70ft), and fire his twin, split empowered enervation.

Attack rolls:
All are touch attacks.
1d20+18=29, 1d4=1 (+50%=1.5), 1d20+18=22, 1d4=1 (+50%=1.5), 1d20+18=32, 1d4=4 (+50%=6), 1d20+18=29, 1d4=1 (+50%=1.5)
11 Negative levels if all of them hit. (Damned my rolls are terrible).

[kevin_video]

Touch armor of 24. Do you round up? I thought everything was round down. If not, he takes 8 negative levels. If so, he takes 9. He's not immune to negative energy, and not undead.

Alenatorion, seeing the gargoyle weakened significantly, Power Attacks for 35 and charges the flying creature with his mighty greatsword.

Has to hit AC 45.
Attack: 1d20+49=58, 1d20+44=55, 1d20+39=56, 1d20+34=48
Damage (no criticals): 3d6+1d6+2d6+5+85=108, 3d6+1d6+2d6+5+85=111, 3d6+1d6+2d6+5+85=114, 3d6+1d6+2d6+5+85=105, with no Holy Burst this time around, and heals 16 points (still down 14).

The gargoyle looks really, really hurt, but also extremely pissed.

[Mixster]

Assuming I can recognize it with Knowledge Arcana for Knowledge Devotion.
1d20+29=32
Melkior full attacks, power attacks for 10. Then he 5ft steps directly away from the gargoyle, before he uses his anklet of translocation to teleport 10 ft further away.

Attack:

Full attack:
1d20+36=47, 1d20+36=42, 1d20+31=46, 1d20+26=40, 1d20+21=35
Damage:
4d6+38=57, 4d6+38=50, 4d6+38=58, 4d6+38=61, 4d6+38=53
So:
Ac 47, 57 Damage. AC 42, 50 Damage. Ac 46, 58 Damage. AC 40, 61 damage and AC 35, 53 damage.
Technically these attacks are incorporeal touch attacks, but I think that is a misprint in Ghost touch, and would understand if you didn't count it as such.

[Stormcrow]

Raynor ducks down into the trees and stays in the canopy as he start to make this way (using he boots of levitation when he can to get from tree to tree.) towards the location of the Giant. hoping that the tree line will giving him a clear shot.

(OCC not positive if i need to make a climb or balance check or not )

[kevin_video]

@ Melkior -- Your first and third hit do damage to it. You're thinking that because he's in a frenzy right now, he's probably a little dodgier. He's still up, but not looking so good. That is unless you forgot you were flanking, and had Prayer cast on you.
Ghost touch weapons just negate the 50% mischance against incorporeal, unfortunately. BTW, I forgot about the vile damage you were supposed to take, but we'll skip that for now. Next round if he's still around.

@ Raynor -- I'll say balance check.

[kevin_video]

The death giant does not look overly happy about the gargoyle getting in the way of his boulder throwing. As well, he was in his territory and didn't even realize the statue was a real thing.

Winding up, the death giant hurls a boulder at the gargoyle.
1d20+32=37
And horribly misses. Picking up another, he gets ready to hurl his third stone.

The gargoyle has taken notice of the stationary target on the rocks.

[kevin_video]

Drexs, in perfect position to flank with Melkior, takes a massive number of swings at the gargoyle.

Attack:

1d20+42+1=56, 1d20+37+1=45, 1d20+32+1=46, 1d20+27+1=42

Thanks to prayer, a few of the strikes manage to make contact with the winged monster.

Damage:

3d6+24+1=32, 3d6+24+1=35, 3d6+24+1=36

Drexs looks at the cleric concerned at the fact that the creature still flies.

[kevin_video]

The gargoyle, unimpressed by either of the combatants, reveals that he's been hiding two additional arms. Hovering, and turning towards Drexs who's looking pretty fresh, he smiles and attacks.

Attack:

1d20+48-1=66, 1d20+48-1=56, 1d20+48-1=61, 1d20+48-1=50
Possible crit plus bite and gore1d20+48-1=53, 1d20+45-1=64, 1d20+45-1=46
and possible crit on the bite 1d20+45=56 confirmed

The gargoyle eviscerates the Concordant Killer with his claws, teeth, and horns.

Damage

8 vile damage plus
3d6+26-1=33, 3d6+26-1=34, 3d6+26-1=36, 3d6+26=35, 3d6+26=34
6d6+26-1=50, 3d6+13-1=19
Total is 241 damage + 8 vile damage.

Thankfully Drexs has extremely thick armored skin.

[kevin_video]

From his perch, there's unfortunately very little that the dwarf can do, but he waits to see what happens.

[kevin_video]

Almost like a delay, the gargoyle suddenly burst into a bright flash of white light, nearly blinding all who is there. When the light is gone, so is the gargoyle. However, it is almost like a large beacon has gone off as the sounds of the forest begin to stir once more.

[Mixster]

So should we ignore the earthbound giant and head onwards? I'm not here to kill mindless monsters. Melkior says as he starts to fly.

Alkazar readies his action to cast a spell if the giant decides to fire at Melkior.
