Red Hand of doom Sphere's addtion Act 1- DRELLIN’S FERRY

[catman04221985]

The afternoon sun beats down on you; the air is hot and still. The sparsely settled lands of Elsir Vale are starting to grow
monotonous, with a seemingly endless line of dusty flyspecks of towns. The town of Drellin’s Ferry lies a few miles ahead of you.
It’s a settlement hard on the borders of the Northern Fangwood, and the best place from which to begin exploring the nearby forest.

[stack]

Eric wipes the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. "A bit farther, then a soft bed, yeah? Be nice to get out of the heat."

[Mathias1313]

Tyberius looks ahead, along the path with a bit of hope.
Bathes as well I hope. We have been traveling for awhile now and a would think we are all in need of a good bath.

[Athaleon]

"Aye, a bath would be welcome. But this is no big march, lads, even in this sun." In truth Jurisian was sweating heavily under his heavy armor, but he tried to keep everyone's spirits up as they trudged.

[Spiritus]

"I think baths are likely; and if not you can always go for a swim! It is a ferry, after all" Katarina says. "But if the feat was bothering you that much, let whip something up for us."

With practiced speed she draws a vial from one of her aprons many pockets, and tugs the glass stopper out with her teeth. Immediately, the oppressive heat is reduced to something far more comfortable, and there is a strong smell of mint as whatever is in the vial begins to glow.

[Spoiler=OOC]Activating Ammonia Nitrate Material imposition to reduce the temperature.[]

[In4Dimensions]

“Thanks for that, Katarina. Feels a lot nicer.” Andrin wipes the sweat off his brow.

[Spiritus]

“Thanks for that, Katarina. Feels a lot nicer.” Andrin wipes the sweat off his brow.

"It was no trouble at all!"Katrina grins happily. "It's a new formula I've been working on. I wanted to be able to freeze my enemies, but heat absorption turned out to have a number of more convenient uses."

She gestures with the vial. "But enough about me. What have you been working on lately?"

[stack]

Eric thinks for a moment, "You should go in to business. I would wager there would be coin to be made in cooling the rich on hot days."

[In4Dimensions]

"It was no trouble at all!"Katrina grins happily. "It's a new formula I've been working on. I wanted to be able to freeze my enemies, but heat absorption turned out to have a number of more convenient uses."

She gestures with the vial. "But enough about me. What have you been working on lately?"
Andrin smiles. “Well, now that you mention it. . . ” he says as he draws out what looks like a small timepiece. “I’ve actually been working on some magic as of late. Time magic, as you will. I’ve also got this nifty medallion—” he pulls out a small, shiny medallion “that helps me resist magic. I’m also pretty good at patching people up, if they need it.”

[Spiritus]

Katarina

Eric thinks for a moment, "You should go in to business. I would wager there would be coin to be made in cooling the rich on hot days."
Katarina shakes her head sheepishly. "You would think so! Alas, the compound is too volatile as of yet, and still needs adjusting for existing conditions each time I use it." She sighs. "And although it might be lucrative, I have no intention of being some Count's fancy sunshade."

Andrin smiles. “Well, now that you mention it. . . ” he says as he draws out what looks like a small timepiece. “I’ve actually been working on some magic as of late. Time magic, as you will. I’ve also got this nifty medallion—” he pulls out a small, shiny medallion “that helps me resist magic. I’m also pretty good at patching people up, if they need it.”
Katarina walks over to examine the amulet more closely. "How fascinating! I've never pursued any magic myself, but I know some of the theory."

[Mathias1313]

Tyberius shakes his head mirthfully at Katarina and Andrin, I am always fascinated by the little things you 2 come up with.

[Athaleon]

"Cooling the rich on hot days?" Jurisian scoffed. "If it could be made to last, this substance could be used to keep armies cool on the march, keep laborers from passing out in the sun. Keep food cold to delay it from spoiling. Imagine the possibilities."

[Spiritus]

"Cooling the rich on hot days?" Jurisian scoffed. "If it could be made to last, this substance could be used to keep armies cool on the march, keep laborers from passing out in the sun. Keep food cold to delay it from spoiling. Imagine the possibilities."

Katarina nods at him grinning excitedly. "Indeed!" Her face falls. "Unfortunately, at present the variance is far, far too great. It's just so volatile! Improperly prepared, this same vial"—she gestures with it—"could freeze a Dragon solid. Still," she says, her expression firming "I have no intention of giving up."

[Mathias1313]

Well my friends, lets keep going to Drellin's Ferry, all this talk of cooling makes me yearn for that bath even more.
Tyberius gently smiles at the thought of a nice bath.

Ok set your selfs up on the upper brown path and make a perception check.

[catman04221985]

The road crests a small rise and descends into a dusty grove in a large, shallow dell. An abandoned farmhouse, partially visible through the trees, stands on one side of the road. You’ve passed a dozen spots much like this one already today, but this one feels wrong. Then you glimpse the glint of mail through the brush by the side of the road. Fierce warriors—tall, hairy humanoids with wide mouths and flat faces—are lying in wait! At the very edge you spot a hound.

[Athaleon]

Jurisian spotted the ambush and instinctively sprung into action, growing to the size of a giant in an instant. He swept his now truly enormous greatsword from its scabbard, swinging at the archer now only just above him. Impressive as the sight may have been, he was inwardly cursing himself for not maintaining the glowing manifestation of his divine power during their march.


5' step to the left.
Swift Action, spend a spell point to use Mystic Might.
Move Action, draw weapon.
Standard Action: Attack R5:

Attack: [roll0]
Damage: [roll1]

Jurisian has 6 attacks of opportunity in this round that he can make against the archers in his reach if they try shooting while threatened, or he can use them on his Active Defense ability with his buckler.

[Spiritus]

Katarina quick-steps behind Jurisian, tossing out a bag of Flash Powder as she does so, aimed to blind the closer two hobgoblins. She then takes her ornate staff in both hands and concentrates. A small thundercloud appears above her head, and a bolt shoots out at a goblin.


Five foot step, expend martial focus to use Improved Flash Powder as a swift action, hitting R4+R5 with a dc19 reflex save against blindness for two rounds. Then she uses a full round d action to activate lightning rod and direct a 6d6 bolt of lightning (DC 19 ref half) at R5 if he is still alive, R6 otherwise. She then activates her gaze attack as a free action; anyone who meets her eyes needs to make a DC 19 will save or be scouted, which reveals weaknesses like DR or damage reduction they may have.

Attack roll to hit the correct square with flash powder: [roll0]
Damage roll for lightning: [roll1]

"An ambush. Lovely. I suppose we were due for something like this, one cannot go anywhere in peace these days ." Eric sighs, fitting an arrow to his bow and drawing it back, taking aim at the hound. ephemeral crystals surround the shaft just before he looses.standard: energy blade w/ crystal blast on H1
attack [roll0]
damage [roll1] piercing (bow) and [roll2] piercing from crystal blast

reflex save DC 16 or entangled and unable to move per crystal blast
Your destructive blast becomes an explosion of crystal, growing where it strikes. A crystal blast uses d4’s instead of d6’s as its damage die and deals piercing damage. The target of your crystal blast must pass a Reflex save or be entangled and unable to move. In addition, the target’s square (or the blast’s affected area) becomes overgrown with crystal and counts as difficult terrain. Breaking free of the entangled condition is a move action, requiring either a Strength check or an Escape Artist check against the crystal blast’s save DC. A target may also destroy the crystal on a square or creature by dealing 3 damage per caster level to the crystal. This removes the entangled condition from the creature and destroys the difficult terrain. Crystal disappears after 1 minute.

On hit, sequence starts, 1 link.
Free action to abandon focus for +1 link, 2 total.
Move action for focusing reload/deliberate load to regain focus and gain +1 link, 3 links total.
Swift action for counting coup, attacking R1, deals 0 damage, adds 1 link if successful [roll3] vs touch.

[In4Dimensions]

Andrin doesn’t even say a word as he slips his bow off of his back, takes aim at an enemy hellhound, and fires, his arrow gleaming with arcane power.

Swift Action: Use the Scout ability on H1. It is Scouted if a roll of [roll0] is higher than 15+its CR.
Attack Action: use Spell Attack with Time Strike. Attack roll (subtract 4 if Scout fails): [roll1]
Damage roll: [roll2]
If it hits, the hellhound must make a DC 19 Will save or lose its standard action, which I then gain.
If I get the standard action, take another attack action, using the Deadly Shot ability of the Sniper Sphere, spending martial focus to deal an additional 2d10 damage on the attack.
Attack: [roll3]
Damage: [roll4]+[roll5]
Move action: move 10 feet to regain martial focus, or just move if I don’t spend it.

All I want is a damn bath...

Tyberius takes a step forward as lightning starts to dance around his hands. The lightning escalates until it takes shape as a spear like weapon in each if his hands.


Tyberius takes a 5t step towards the U.

Stand action to throw his Vajra at U. [roll0] to hit.

The coup arrow finds its mark. As the hound looks at you with fiery red eyes the other one hits it in the shoulder. It jumps behind the tree to avoid the shards.

Eric grimaces as he takes the glancing blow. A shard of crystal materializes in his hand; he notches it, draws, and looses. The crystal flies awkwardly toward the hobgoblins, striking a tree adjacent to the center one. Any relief at the miss would prove short-lived, as the crystal explodes, showering the area in jagged shard that immediately start growing, engulfing everything the touch. Eric takes a deep breath, readying another arrow as he eyes another target.

Jurisian, satisfied with his handiwork, moved towards the next threat he could see, casting a spell on himself as he strode with an incantation like a prayer, and he began to glow with a soft white light.


Move as indicated on the map and cast Light (Glory) on himself.

[CasualViking]

A dwarf bursts out from the decrepit ruins of the farmhouse. Looking around in confusion, he nevertheless settles his attention on one of the hobgoblins. "OI!" he shouts;as they turn to glance at him, he points out Zarr with his axe, and start plodding towards him. His axe starts humming with power.

Move action: Challenge against Zarr; he gains +2 to attacks against Strosik, and -3 to attacks against anyone else. Free action: pick Destruction for Imbued Sequence.

Silently waiting in her bird form, Darting Swallow watches the battle unfold. She looks for an opportunity and, having found one, swoops in towards the nearest enemy and claws at its neck, attempting to slice open a vein.

Crit? [roll4]
Base damage is 5 (1 - 3 Strength + 3 Finesse Training + 4 Piranha Strike) and 9 Sneak Attack damage (rolled on OoC). If successful, however, it deals 2d4+2 bleed (rolled on enemy's action) and can only be healed by DC 25 Heal check or 10+ points of magical healing from a single effect.

You hit R3 and crystals burst from his body but you missed the other one.


Jurisian, satisfied with his handiwork, moved towards the next threat he could see, casting a spell on himself as he strode with an incantation like a prayer, and he began to glow with a soft white light.


Move as indicated on the map and cast Light (Glory) on himself.



A dwarf bursts out from the decrepit ruins of the farmhouse. Looking around in confusion, he nevertheless settles his attention on one of the hobgoblins. "OI!" he shouts;as they turn to glance at him, he points out Zarr with his axe, and start plodding towards him. His axe starts humming with power.

Move action: Challenge against Zarr; he gains +2 to attacks against Strosik, and -3 to attacks against anyone else. Free action: pick Destruction for Imbued Sequence.

Strosik Coinguard (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1867953)

[catman04221985]

Silently waiting in her bird form, Darting Swallow watches the battle unfold. She looks for an opportunity and, having found one, swoops in towards the nearest enemy and claws at its neck, attempting to slice open a vein.

Initiative [roll0]
Stealth [roll1] (plus whatever circumstance modifier for literally being an average bird in a tree in the woods that nobody is looking for)
Fly check (if needed) [roll2]

Not sure if I can cause bleed on a charge attack, since attack action is a specific action and charge attack is different, so unless I can, regular move and attack nearest enemy, using Piranha Strike and expending Martial Focus.

Attack vs flat-footed [roll3]
Crit? [roll4]
Base damage is 5 (1 - 3 Strength + 3 Finesse Training + 4 Piranha Strike) and 9 Sneak Attack damage (rolled on OoC). If successful, however, it deals 2d4+2 bleed (rolled on enemy's action) and can only be healed by DC 25 Heal check or 10+ points of magical healing from a single effect.

Also AC is 29 currently (10 + 3 Natural + 4 Size + 11 Dex + 1 Deflection) and I have Uncanny Dodge

You fly though him leaving a hole where his neck was

[CasualViking]

Strosik grits his teeth against the fire and spells raining down on him. He focuses on Zarr; He pokes at him with the blunt tip of the axe, just to show him that he can, then he barges into him and follows it up with a devastating axe blow.

The hell hound moves in to a flanking position and tries to no avail attack Strosik. While Strosik is fending off the hound, Uth-lar unleashed a flurries of sword strikes and gets a hit in. Zarr as a last ditch effort tags you with more destruction magic.

Next round You are all up.

[CasualViking]

Strosik (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1867953) nods and let out a small laugh-grunt as the warcaster strikes him again. "DIE BY THE AXE!" he screams as he lays into both hobgoblins with a devastating storm of blows.

Jurisian continued to stride toward the farmhouse and tried to get a look inside before barging in.


Moved as indicated in the map, if there's a window Jurisian will try to attack through it. Otherwise he will take a second move action to go around to the door.

Darting Swallow seeks out a new target as her first victim bleeds to death. Maintaining cover, she flies towards the closest enemy, prepared to strike when the opportunity presents itself.

In a spectacular display of speed and violence you massacred both of them.

End combat.

[Bansheexero]

Darting Swallow remains hidden in the branches of a nearby tree and continues to observe the group in bird form.

[Athaleon]

Jurisian returned to normal size, and waved to the newcomers in the farmhouse as he moved around to the door. Armored as he may be, he didn't want to catch a weapon in the face if he barged through the door right after a fight. "Hail, travelers. It seems our ambushers were caught in a pincer, almost like we planned it that way."

[stack]

"Indeed, your arrival was timely." Eric recovers his arrows as he checks the bandits' bodies for valuables.

[CasualViking]

"A timely arrival indeed", the armored dwarf replies as he cleans his gore-spattered axe with a rag. "My name is Strosik Coinguard. Priest of Torag and independent adventurer. I will be wanting my fair share of that, by the way" - he points to Eric looting the fallen.

"You are no delicate flowers yourselves, though. Are you perchance engaged in some profitable venture, and looking to bolster your ranks?"

[Athaleon]

"I am Marek Jurisian, a Knight of Lastwall here on duty, though some of my companions are... contractors like yourself. What's the situation here?"

[stack]

Eric nods argeement, "Fair share is fair. You fight, you get your part, I figure. Eric Quickbeam."

[catman04221985]

"Indeed, your arrival was timely." Eric recovers his arrows as he checks the bandits' bodies for valuables.
You find 6 sets of chainmail, heavy steel shields, composite shortbows (+1 Str), mwk longswords.
Breastplate, Light steel shield
2 +1 short swords, Masterwork studded leather

[catman04221985]

As you all are doing various things a bloodied person crawls out from a bush down the road.

[CasualViking]

"Not a bad haul, but some of it is rather heavy. I wager some of you will want an easily carried share. I can take a heavy load, but I expect the value of my share to reflect - who is that", Strosik interrupts himself. "By the grace of Torag, be thee healed!" he intones. He looks down over himself and winces. "Be the grace of Torag, be thee healed as well", he mutters.

Strosik's wounds start closing up. Unless he resists, so too does the wounded stranger's.

[stack]

Eric looks at the new arrival, studying him closely. perception take 10 for 26

[Athaleon]

Jurisian approached the bloodied stranger, still concerned for him despite the healing Strosik had just delivered. "I can heal you more if need be, stranger" he offered. "Are there others in need of assistance?"

[catman04221985]

Eric looks at the new arrival, studying him closely. perception take 10 for 26
You noticed that's him is a her and half-elven.

[catman04221985]

After healing her of wounds she speaks.
You have my gratitude. My name is Aroynorie and did my squad survived?

[Athaleon]

"I am Marek Jurisian. I have not seen anyone else here, alive or dead, besides these hobgoblins. But then, I have not yet looked closely beyond the road."

[catman04221985]

She looks around and whispers in elven
May the earthmother keep them. Well then do you mind if I accompany you all to the next town?

[CasualViking]

Strosik reflexively brings an insult to the tip of his tongue, but thinks better of it. He merely rolls his eyes at the elf and goes back to bickering with Eric over the loot.

[Athaleon]

"Is it possible they may have fled?" Marek asked.

[stack]

Eric nods down the road, "Drelin's Ferry was the next place on the road. Maybe they will be grateful to have lost a few bandits?"
