What do you gotta roll to hit this bitch?

Game Time...
Darvin looks at Talathel and starts signaling to him that there is a trap on the floor. He makes it clear that the only way to avoid it is to hug the right hand wall. He turns back to Hring and does the same. Hring then sends the message back to everyone else. Once the game of charades is over Darvin makes his way over to Rhora, avoiding the trap of course, and swings with his cutlass.

Hey, she's a badass. Do you expect it to be easy to hit her?
ReplyDeleteI was hoping so. You know so we can FINALLY GET OUT OF THE SEWERS!
ReplyDeleteWell, I can understand that.
ReplyDeleteHowever, she is still badass, because I feel that anything worth doing requires a badass that you have to defeat at the end in order to prove yourself worthy.
I think I speak for all of us when I say..."I hate you..."
ReplyDeleteBeranhond moves forward and steps over the trap:

Once there he moves behind the distracted rat queen, pulls the hood back and off her head and slices with his sword.
If you don't allow that...
Once across the trap he grabs a heavy chair, moves behind the rat queen and smashes it across her head.
If you don't allow that...
He moves behind her (flanking) and attacks with his sword.

I would prefer to do the other things first.
Beranhond:
ReplyDeleteI will allow the attempt to take off the hood, but as a note, Darvin is at 4 o'clock relative to Rhora, and you are at 8 o'clock. I will say that to take off her hood, that is a DC 12 Dex check. This is a free action, so you may attack as well, and your attack apparently hit.
Also, what's the final +2 from? and why didn't you just make it +4?

I didn't just do +4 because that would have been too easy.
+2 for melee combat, +2 for flanking.

While he made it, it was barely. "Perhaps I should stop thinking about the rum," he said, forgetting that no one could hear anything.
He reached for the cube, but realizing he had to say words to make it work, there was no sense in using it now. He took out his kama and charged at the queen. A direct charge may not normally be wise, but considering that Beranhond was taking off her hood and she seemed dazed by it, he figured why not?
Attack with the kama...

Talathel thought he imagined a bit of fur being clipped from the queen's body, but he doubted that.
Was Beranhond able to lift the sound barrier?
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question:
ReplyDeleteBeranhond, in an oddly smooth display of sword work, snatches back the hood of the cloak and severs the fabric. It rips free in his hand and be backs away.
"Your doom awaits you rat-bitch!" As he says this her head turns and she blocks Darvin's attack, but can't escape Beranhond's sword that slashes across her back. (that was the previous attack) Suddenly, sound returns to the room and Beranhond sees Nym's magic missile slam into the rat-queen's body.
Rhora reacts quickly to Beranhond's attack on her cloak, quickly twisting her short sword around in an attempt to knock his weapon from his hand. She easily knocks the blade from his hand, and it clangs on the ground behind him. That done, she transforms into her hybrid form, growing fur and a snout, but remaining still Rhora, and wearing the same clothes and holding her short sword.
ReplyDeletePlayers, it is your turn.

Note: Beranhond did this after she was distracted.
ReplyDeleteSlightly bemused and quite impressed with Beranhond's swordmanship, Gurkirat began to toot on his clarinet. A strange chromatic and jazzy melody ripped through the chamber. The syncopated rhythms assaulted the ears of the ratriarch in an attempt to razzle, dazzle, and confound. She didn't even bat an eyelash or wiggle an ear. The bard wailed harder but to obvious futility. His riff ended oddly with a squeak that admitted irritation and defeat.
ReplyDeleteDarvin, tired of being in the stinky sewers and dealing with wererats, attacks with both of his cutlasses.

Having waited, Beranhond enjoyed the melody for a moment while waiting for the rat to get distracted. Once she turned and fought Darvin he threw the chair at her:

It slammed into her and knocked her to the ground.
Beranhond, for fun, spit at her.
He then, using his minor action, picked up his sword and turned to face her.
ReplyDeleteAs the doorway cleared, Grumbleshanks ushered the other henchies inside. "Don't forget to leap." He reminded them. He ducked in himeslf just before the last two, his own goons entered. After they were inside, he swung the door closed. And posted his two crossbow wielding goons in front of the door.
ReplyDeleteThat's not entirely true... we still have the man to worry about. Gurkirat's two henchmen stay back to worry over him.
ReplyDeleteBefore he stepped through the door, Grumbleshanks gave his glowstick to the henchmen and advised, "If you hear squeaks, pound on that door, and drag that sack of barnacles in." He looked to make sure the sock was secured in the man's mouth then ducked inside the chamber to close the door.
If that won't work, Grumbleshanks opens the door and sends two grunts out with the same instructions. Two shooters are still guarding the door.
Beranhond:
ReplyDeleteThere are no minor actions in 3.5. In 3.5, picking up your weapon is a move action.
Gurkirat:
ReplyDeleteWho were you trying to leave outside total? Just your two henchies? That's what I will be assuming.

The queen looks at him bemused. "That kind of tickled," she says.
"You're a whore," Talathel responds.
Beranhond:
ReplyDeleteCurrently, you still do not have your sword in hand. That is a move action, and your last turn, you used a move action to pick up the chair and an attack action to throw it.
The NPC's turn:
Hring, Starks, Arngrim, Thjodolf, Lofa, and Aldaho all scramble into the room, as Grumbleshanks' instructed. Hring goes first, and makes it fine, running up and attacking Rhora with his rapier alongside Talathel. He strikes, dealing a grievous wound to Rhora's side as she lies at his feet. (+4 to melee attacks against prone targets.) Starks does the same, but stops on the other side of Beranhond and fires with his crossbow. He misses. (-4 to ranged attacks against prone targets.) Arngrim runs up behind Talathel and Darvin and fires his crossbow, but misses as well. Thjodolf tries the same, and almost hits Hring instead. Lofa went next and, with the grace of a drunken water buffalo, stepped on the pressure plate, which sunk into the floor, while a dart shot out from the wall to the side. The dart hit Lofa squarely in the neck, and though he kept running into the room, he seemed to stagger a bit, as if he was a bit woozy. 2 hp dmg, 1 Con dmg

The queen decides that she will attack from the ground, slicing at Darvin's ankles with her short sword. Luckily for Darvin, she misses. Afterwards, sickened by her miss, she decides to stand up. As she stands, Hring, Talathel, and Darvin all take swipes at her. Attack of Opportunity, not your regular attack She dodges all three swipes, preparing for another round of assaults.

Talathel reminds himself to not go to any of the fine gambling halls in Baldur's Gate.
Talathel:
ReplyDeleteYour kama can be used to make trip attacks. You basically make an attack with your kama to trip her, and set the "Versus?" field on the "Combat 2" spreadsheet to "CMD" instead of "AC", and you can see if you knock her down again. The attack won't deal any damage, but it will make her easier to hit. (All melee attacks would get +4) And if you knock her down and somebody else does something to keep her there, she could be quite easy pickings.
I, obviously, did not know that.
ReplyDeleteWatch your knees, rat whore!
Hello everyone! I would really like to move this battle along at a bit quicker pace so we can try to finish by Christmas, so I am giving you until noon to post again, before Rhora and the henchies go.
ReplyDeleteThis will continue on a 12 hour schedule so we can try to get 2 turns in a day until we finish this. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

She dodges, in the bitchy way she does.
Hring, seeing the difficulty his companions were having striking the woman, used his attack to distract Rhora, allowing Darvin's next attack to be a bit more effective. Darvin, next attack, you get a +2. Use it well. Starks, Arngrim, Thjodolf, Lofa, and Aldaho all attempted to attack with their crossbows. Thjodolf got a great shot in, but missed her vitals by just a hair, and dealing a good bit of damage regardless.

Gurkirat paused a moment to the music ring in the room. 'What a beautiful acoustic space,' he thought. 'Who'd a thunk a sewer would sound so good.' Time passes. Gurkirat glanced around and realizes that everyone has shifted places and a battle is raging. Fortunately, the sound of his music is still ringing in the room and he can feel its effects. He switched his clarinet out for his sling and started throwing bullets.

Gurkirat:
ReplyDeleteAll ranged attacks take -4 when there are allies engaged in melee combat with the person you are attacking, so you will have +4+1-4=+1 overall to your attacks. The natural 20 will hit no matter what, though, so you will hit there, at least.
The brave companions attack again. Hring decides to aid the other melee characters again (All melee attacks against Rhora get +2 for this next round). Starks, Arngrim, Thjodolf, Lofa, and Aldaho release their crossbow bolts. Arngrim gets distracted and shoots extremely poorly, which leads to Talathel getting a bolt in the back. (8 lethal damage, Talathel.) Starks and Thjodolf miss, but Aldaho gets an amazing shot off and hits Rhora square in the right breast, causing her to reel in pain.
ReplyDeleteShe is near death now. Beranhond, the 6 damage you did was to the cloak, not to her, so I cut that out of the spreadsheet.

It doesn't have any effect. Dan, what would I roll to take advantage of my improved grapple?
Beranhond and Talathel:
ReplyDeleteDid you both include the +2 from Hring distracting her? That may be where the +6 came from, Beranhond.
Talathel:
As for the grapple, read this:
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering---final/combat---final#TOC-Grapple
Basically, you just roll your Combat Maneuver Bonus (CMB) against your opponents' Combat Maneuver Defense (CMD). If you "hit", then you have grappled her, and both of you have the grappled condition. Because you have Improved Grapple, you get +2 to grapple when you try it.
Adjusted it for +2, still no result.
ReplyDeleteNo, I was thinking just +2, regular melee bonus, +2 flanking, so with an additional +2 for distraction that would be a hit.

Ah, if that is the case than I just killed her.
ReplyDeleteThat is the case. As Beranhond swings from his left, connecting solidly with Rhora's chest, and his blade cuts deep. As blood gushes from her wounds, her rat eyes glare at the cleric and she slowly gurgles and slowly topples over, no longer breathing.
