DrK Savage Tide Reboot OOC

[CasualViking]

So the attack missed Kona due to the aura?

Nopa, Kona was down to 14 AC without armor, so even with the +3, it's still a hit. Fixing myself up with Animus Healing - (4d6)[13]

[Yas392]

For further CLWs until he is heal to a reasonable health. He will stop if a CLW result is 5 or greater.

CLW: (1d8+1)[3]
CLW: (1d8+1)[8]

[BelGareth]

oh bother, totally spaced the club, I assume everyone is ok with Aramus grabbing it?

[Starbin]

Grab away ... and I'm presuming we're taking the amulet too, but I'm guessing a magic user will probably take it for now.

[BelGareth]

oh yeah, the amulat, am i the resident spell caster?

[RCgothic]

The enemy rolled well!

Lara initiative: (1d20+7)[21]

[DrK]

fast for an old bird! is the undead drider

[Yas392]

Tygar is not going act before the drider with that abysmal roll.

[CasualViking]

Initiative for Kona (1d20+8)[16]

[BelGareth]

Holy moly.

Welp, I’m glad I sent the centipede in first!!!

[BelGareth]

Rolling init
(1d20+4)[15]

Aramus is pretty much out of everything, but does have two feather tree tokens...if they can be useful? not sure they can tbh

[DrK]

Crit threat on poor Grimgor

(1d20+8)[22] touch. (4d6+13)[26] total negative energy damage

[CasualViking]

(1d4)[4] random granted maneuver

Allies within Kona do +4 Electricity damage.

[CasualViking]

electricity1 - (2d6+4)[15], electricity2 - (2d6+4)[15]

[CasualViking]

granted maneuver end of turn (1d3)[2]

Two questions .... how far away is the drider? And what’s the reflex DC? Grimgor would likely charge in to engage and lock it down if he wins initiative (low likelihood) which may change the drider’s response ... unless it would still 5’ step and fire bolts. The added complication is what stance he would be in for the attack, and whether he would have used a boost or changed stance, it needed to use a counter.

So initiative will drive Grumgor’s follow on actions, but I’ll try to capture some of the basics now.

How fortuitous this dingleberry decides to a) retreat away from the reach, b) use a touch attack spell, and c) possibly blind us. All the things Grimgor doesn’t deal with well. The crit is just insult to injury

Initiative - (1d20+8)[25]
Reflex - (1d20+5)[21] may change based on stance and/or counter

EDIT: Wow, TWO great rolls. So I’ll post with damage taken, but not sure if the creature will change its action. Unless the ranged attack was the surprise round and this is for round one?

[Yas392]

Awaiting Lara's condition before I post for Tygar.

[RCgothic]

Injured about half way but functional.

[Yas392]

Oops, typo. I forget that Lara's initiative is lower than the drider. It should have been waiting for Drk's post to confirm Grimgor's HP.

[Starbin]

@Drk - just curious the gloomblind bolts were a surprise round attack that occurs before anyone can go, or if that's a first round attack and initiative applies. If Grimgor goes first, he'll charge in and attack (and either boost or change stance). If he's already taken a hit, he may do something different.

also, how far is the thing right now?

Drider is 30ft away (the far side of the room). For the init, after getting half the party I had rolled the rest and the Drider had still won so the Gloombind bolts were Round 1 (its like -Ve energy scorching ray so no Saving throws)

She sounds fine

Its 30ft away, round 1, so feel free to charge in (joining Kona) and start slapping it around (post the gloomblind bolts)

[Starbin]

I thought gloomblind bolts had a blindness component ... no worries if they don't!

And I guess I wasted that awesome init roll :)

[Yas392]

Did Grimgor take 39 damage?

[Starbin]

No, 26. DrK added the original damage to his crit roll.

[Starbin]

Sorry for the double post. Damage - (2d6+12)[19] for damage.

For potential crit: Threat - (1d20+10)[25], Extra damage - (4d6+24)[35]

[DrK]

Ouch! That was a savage critical rispote from Grimgor, clearly the dwarf did not enjoy being critically hit!

After that, the sonic blast and Kona's elemental fury (sadly the Aramus's arrow missed) its very near death, We'll see if Captain Lara can finish it off before it tries to take someone down with it!

[Starbin]

Crits with a big 2-h weapon usually suck 😜

[RCgothic]

Status is 26/44 hp after that healing.

[Yas392]

Did that last parry fail to negate the attack?

[RCgothic]

Ah, sorry, I forgot about the earlier wave of healing. Correct Status is 38/44hp.

The parry in the fight before the drider was successful, but even so I wasn't quite at full health at that point and there was nothing to be done about the gloomblind bolts the drider fired.
