Second Darkness & St. Caspieran's Mission GM Battle Book [GMBB]

[lostsole31]

R3T12: Doing his best to power through the smell, Rodriguez continues to chant as he takes another swig of alcohol, dodging an AOO from Red. He steps back, and swings at the Red that just attacked him, striking it in the chest for 11.

R3T10: Apophis is sickened by the stench, but bites Red in the chest for 5 and misses with the tail slap. His maenad also misses.

R3T7-3: Two more troglodytes appear from the west. Blue closes and swings a club at Ozzy and Green now appears but can't get to one of the party yet.

End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

R4T18: Visto, you are still dazzled. You do not have the raging song. Your energy wells so that your soothing rain is full, and you can gain no more temporary E. What do you do?

R4T18: Used to more squeamish things, Visto's vulturine nose withstands the first bit of stench he is exposed to. He steps a few spaces forward, but this time chooses not to attack any enemies, instead just looking to get a better look at the fight at large (and now screening the sickened Sol).

R4T16: Sol's flaming sphere winks out of existence. Sickened as he is, he gives in to the power of the raging song and advances while taking out his light mace, but Red-trog blocks with his spear.

R4T14: Ozzy, you are now no longer dazzled and you had accepted the raging song. Your claim on Brown ends. Roll a Fort save vs. the stench. What do you do? What do you have Ginny do?

R4T14: Assaulted by a new wave of stench, Ozzy attempts to keep his breakfast down while fighting. He does so, his negative emotions driving him as he claims Red, refreshing his knowledge of temporal combat techniques. He initiates a martial maneuver with his akashic spear, stabbing Red in the abdomen for 17, dropping it, before teleporting a short distance away. At the same time he does this, a gloom surrounds Ginny.

R4T12: Seeing more enemies approach, Rodriguez takes yet another swig and chants even louder. He doesn't even really register the awful smell. He moves over to red letting the spirits strike at it. Rod's maenads do not attack Red (who is down), but they do nip at Brown (whom Rod stands astride) for 6 NE.

R4T10: Apophis continues to suffer from the stench of all of the trogs. He slithers over Red's dead corpse and bites at Blue. He shakes his eyes and is no longer dazzled.

R4T7-3: Blue meets club and bite to Apophis' fang. Green closes down to Rod, but not before Rod strikes for 9. He then blocks Green's attack.

R5T18: It seems like Visto's friends pretty much outmatch the troglodytes, giving the nisr a chance to see to his own wounds. A refreshing rain briefly appears above just him, enough to provide fully heal him. He then moves closer to get a better look at the battle.

R5T16: Sol shakes his head from the raging song and concentrates, forming fire into his hand before throwing it at Green, grazing its neck for 4 fire.

Once he feels a little more comfortable with his position, he will conjure up another explosion of sound near it, hoping to debilitate it for his allies to take out, but only doing 3 sonic.

"Attack from where Visto just was."

Ozzy waits for Ginny to move before taking action himself. He expected herself to move directly south, but she is smarter than that, and loops around from the west to not get attacked. She pecks at it, her beak barely scratching its weird body. Ozzy lowers himself once more into the uncanny stance which brings misfortune to his foes. Stepping into the space Ginny left, Ozzy launches a strike against the creature (hitting its hide) causing Ginny to be shrouded in Gloom.

R1T13: Rodriguez steps back from the creature in surprise, ”What the hell is that?” He then reaches for the creature’s legs to pull it prone with his weapon, but the fast thing just jumps out of the way. He shouts to Apophis, ”Flank with me or the bird. Then tear into that thing!”

R1T12: Apophis squeezes into an indentation in the rock to flank with the bird. His bite goes wild, but his tail slams into the critter for 12.

R1T10: The critter turns on Apophis to give it a piece of its creepy mind ... metaphorically. It bites and claws, with one claw getting through for 5, getting through Visto's bulwark and causing a slight injury.

R1T8: Sol, whose produce flame effect is still active, touches the thing for 9 fire.

Gloom forms around Ginny as she continues take advantage of flanking. She successfully pecks it for 5, and claws for 3.

R1T15: Sol takes an extract to protect him, and a blurring force field shimmers around him temporarily. He then accepts the raging song, and moves forward. Of course, in doing so he takes the sunrod with him. Once in the other chamber he calls out, "Four troglodytes!" which is followed by the sound of a maenad thumping against a wooden shield.

R1T12: Seeing Visto struggle in the dark, Ozzy fights with Trog stink to help him and Ginny see where they’re going. The stench begins to overcome Ozzy. Deciding it was finally time to take his medicine, he fishes his Soothe Syrup from his bandolier with his tail and downs it. It doesn't help his current status, but should help him against future issues. Moving to the south of the chamber, Ozzy directs the light from the White Rider’s Sash toward the passageway to aid Ginny and Visto’s movement.

R2T21: Rodriguez takes another swig from his flask to keep his song going, before moving up to one of the trogs with his weapon raised, but closing fully on one that is engaged by Ginny.

R2T17: Visto, you are dealing with more stench from more trogs. Roll a Fort save. Do you accept the raging song after this? What do you do?

R2T17: Visto shrugs off the continuing stench, accepting more power into his storm veil, and then releasing it. Thunder quietly echoes around Visto. He continues up the corridor to rejoin his comrades, Ozzy lighting the way, and gets to the mouth of the cavern. Seeing three troglodytes and hearing battle around the corner to the west, he lets loose with the Uproar against the one engaged with Ginny (Blue) to attempt to destabilize it, and does 11 sonic + deafened!

R2T15: Sol steps away from his opponent, which incidentally partially screens Visto from reprisals. He pops something into his mouth that looks like a colored gel cap of some sort. Sol's form then becomes even leaner, his muscles taut, and his focus distracted in his rage.

R2T12: Ozzy, the gloom around you fades. What do you do?

R2T12: Moving up behind Visto, Ozzy will scan the battlefield while releasing his acceptance of the Rod's song.. After entering his preferred stance, he initiates a martial technique to teleport to an enemy and catch it unawares, getting behind Green to flank with Apophis, stabbing into the trog's back for 17.

Gloom surrounds Ginny. She acrobatically darts away from her current enemy, flies over the two northern trogs and power-beaks the one that her master just struck - hitting that one in the right shoulder for 3, as she accepted the song, but is feeling sickened from the other trogs. She continues around to end up in the middle of the room (5' off the ground). The one she struck (Green) is now disabled.

R2T10-1: Blue attacks Rod, but fails. Brown attacks Ozzy, but the closest it gets is biting against his armor. Red steps up to Sol, but fails its attacks. Green drops its club and attempts a limited withdrawal, but Apophis still bites it in the upper left leg for 12, dropping it.

End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

R3T23: Apophis slithers to the side to attack the one threatening his master. His bite misses, but its tail slaps the trog in the left lower arm for 10, dropping it.

R3T21: Rod, roll another Fort save vs. stench. What do you do?

R3T21: Rodriguez is in full battle-focus now, completely ignoring the stench. He continues his raging song, inspired by the carnage around him. He takes another swig from his waterskin before attacking the trog fighting Ozzy. His guisearm chops down into the creature's chest for 17, dropping it. Meanwhile, a screaming maenad attacks a fallen trog (Blue) and goes through it to do 7 NE.

R3T17: Visto turns his attention to one of the Trogs - one of the fallen Trogs at that - conjuring another burst of sound to destabilize it. Since it is unconscious and helpless, the sound explodes its head and it is definitely dead.

R3T15: Sol, under the influence of drugs and a raging song, is feral now. He brings his light mace down with blinding speed onto his enemy's forearm for 9 + 3 fire, completely outpacing the maenad trying to attack as well.

R3T12: Ozzy, what do you do? Only Red is still standing.

R3T12: Seeing only one enemy left, Ozzy moves into a flanking position with the feral Sol, trusting his teamwork with Ginny to avoid harassment from their foe. Once in position, Ozzy initiates a martial technique against the final Trog. ”Let’s finish the last one Ginny!” Ozzy shouts as he strikes, hitting the trog in the neck for 12, dropping it. The gloom maintains around Ginny as she lands, still under the effects of Rod's song and pecks the trog for 6. Her maenad screeches from her little raven body and slashes incorporeal tendrils through Red's fallen body for 9 NE.

End Round 3, Begin Round 4 ...

R4T23: Apophis savages the fallen trog by him with its mouth and tail, and the lack of a maenad attacking is a sure sign that trog is dead.

R4T17: With no sign of other enemies, Visto starts to focus on his allies to determine if anyone needs healed. "Are any of Visto's friends injured and in need of care?"

"I'm good," says Sol.

"Teeny scratch," says Apophis' thick voice.

Visto visually notices that his other friends Rod and Ozzy are unharmed.

R1T18: Ozzy gets right back into the same stance and moves forward 25' before juking east 5', calling out, "Contact with a second one of these ugly things. These look like dretches - bargain basement creatures from a nightmare world beyond our own."

Using his light-spear, he stabs his opponent in its thick, upper forearm (or foreleg?), doing 21. Ginny follows in and does a fancy attack, but can't get through the layers and layers of fat on the creature. "Hey, Ginny sees someone - not a 'fat monster' - to the southwest."

R1T17: There is a faint clicking sound, and something fast and unseen hits Ginny, and she falls to the ground, not moving. Of course, the rest of the party doesn't see this and Ozzy calls out worriedly, "Ginny's down!"
