Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Round 2

Toben finishes his ascension to the roof and makes his way to the edge. His eyes go wide and jaw drops at the sight of the massive creature that emerges from the dust storm.

Already having hasted his allies, he decides to treat the Valaraukar with the opposite effect. He grips his staff and waves it over the field of battle. The victims begin to feel their muscles tighten and lock up as the spell saps their speed and combat effectiveness.

08:55, Today: Toben Ironsprings rolled 31 using 1d20+14.  spellcraft check .
Toben casts Slow modified by the silent spell feat.
The two trolls, the vastidon, and 2 of the orcs that look the least injured need to make Will saves, DC 17, or become slowed.

Effected targets can only take a move action or standard action per turn. They gain a -1 penalty on attack rolls, AC, and Reflex saves. Their movement is also reduced by half, to a minimum of 5 ft.

Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Round 2

Ano takes the hit and flinched a bit before rushing forwards again and attacks the two orcs still standing before him.  His hands blur as a hail of fists strike out at the two orcs, all directed at their center mass.  For the moment he was deciding to ignore the very large creature coming towards the and focus on other issues.

Ano take 15 on his 7 attacks.  So 23 to hit for his 3 attacks on one orc and 4 attacks on the other.
11:20, Today: Ano rolled 52 using 7d8+28 with rolls of 7,2,1,1,8,1,4.  Flurry of Blows 7 attacks damage
So that's 22 damage to the first orc and 30 damage to the second

Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Round 2

Klale concentrates on the task at hand though his eyes take note of the  vastidon before and after his strokes. He works on the mountain troll, hopping sideways between the fist (a slice across) and the second (a stab upward). If feasible, he turns his back so the goblin is between him and a foe.

13:02, Today: Klale Tsolo rolled 12 using 2d10 with rolls of 4,8.  Damages.
Because of the Haste, KIlale's Attack is a 26. I"m subtracting 1 from the Haste and adding it to the damage, The damage was +11, so it's +12
Damages: 14 and 22

Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Round 2

The roar and size of the Vastidon is uttwrly terrifying to Ourn. Never has he seen such a creature. In a desperate measure to try and even the odds,he rapid fires two bolts at its head.

06:24, Today: Ourn rolled 14 using 1d20+9.  Attack with Masterwork Heavy Repeating Crossbow.
Free action, cycle reload mechanism on crossbow, 2/5 bolts remaining
06:25, Today: Ourn rolled 14 using 1d20+9.  Attack with Masterwork Heavy Repeating Crossbow.
Free action, cycle reload mechanism on crossbow, 1/5 bolts remaining
06:27, Today: Ourn rolled 8 using 1d10.  damage.
06:27, Today: Ourn rolled 8 using 1d10.  damage.
06:40, Today: Ourn rolled 4 using 2d6.  Sneak Attack Damage.
06:40, Today: Ourn rolled 9 using 2d6.  Sneak Attack Damage.

Ourn doesn't quite see where or if the bolts hit the Vastidon, and is doubtful as to their effect. He continues his slow rhythmic breathing to try and steady his aim, and to calm his nerves.

Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Round 3

Phineas is able to hide just before two smaller creatures move cautiously past his hiding spot.  They stop just out of view around a corner.

Three more of the small creatures move out from behind a building, darting towards the action.  They are faster than seems naturally possible, but not nearly as fast as Ano.  In contrast, the vastidon and one of the trolls look like they are slogging through a swamp.  The larger creature takes agonizingly slow steps forward, but does nothing else.  It does not even seem to take note of Ourn's arrows bouncing around its face and shoulders and it is impossible to tell at this distance if the creature is even wounded.

The slowed troll swings the orc comically at his own back, but Xar is too quick by far.  He buries his daggers on either side of the creature's spine and lets gravity do the work.  Blood sprays from the fissures in the creatures back in a magically slow fountain that eventually splashes across the ground.  So too does the troll fall, already dead, but not likely to hit the ground for a couple more rounds of traded blows.

Fortunately for the orc the troll was wielding, the troll lets go and the orc drops to the ground, not moving but still breathing.

The other, however, gets in a glancing blow [8 dmg, no knockback] in response to Klale's powerful assault.

Ano's attacks are so destructive, one of the orcs actually has his chest caved in from the constant force.  It gurgles and collapses to the ground in a heap.  However, three more, somewhat singed from Toben's spell, move in to cover their fellow on the ground as he rises.  Their attacks are pitiful feints meant more to distract than to damage. 

From out of the gloom pour more of the smaller creatures, upwards of twenty and beyond.  They swarm towards Klale and Ano and will be on them in seconds.

Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Round 3

Secretly relieved to have an opportunity to pick on something his own size, Phin again darts from the shadows, this time with the intent of putting his dagger into the back of one of the two goblins who just passed him. The first of his attacks appears to find its mark, though in his hastened state, the second goes far awry. He dances back toward his hiding spot after striking.


07:30, Today: Phineas Highwood rolled 20 using 1d20+6.  to hit (attack 1).
07:32, Today: Phineas Highwood rolled 7 using 2d6.  sneak attack damage.
07:32, Today: Phineas Highwood rolled 3 using 1d4+1.  base damage.
07:30, Today: Phineas Highwood rolled 8 using 1d20+6.  to hit (attack 2).

Seeing the wave of enemies surge forward spurs Ourn into a frenzied reload of his crossbow.

Reload repeating crossbow, full round action. Bolts will be 5/5 loaded next round. 16 remaining total.

Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Round 3

The sudden rush of goblins from the darkness gives Toben a moment of pause. He reaches down and plucks a small stone from the roof of the inn, and prepares to throw it. As the goblins begin to spread out across the field, he realizes some start to spill out of the blast zone and decides to adjust his tactics. He hold the stone up, and with a look of intense concentration, it splits into 4 smaller pebbles.

He whispers "Seilor duulo dout nessmotva bekir", and they immediate race towards the goblins. They fly past Klale and Ano and detonate once they are far enough away to cause them any harm.

Fatigue from the amount of energy Toben is expending is starting to show.

Toben casts Exploding Stone modified by the sculpt spell feat.
The blast is broken up into 4 separate 10' cubes rather than a 20 ft radius blast.

12:06, Today: Toben Ironsprings rolled 21 using 5d6.
Victims in range need to make a Reflex save, DC 17. Failure to save results in 21 damage, successful saves result in 10 damage.

Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Round 3

Ano sees the goblins approaching and realizes that they are in trouble, but has little option but to focus on the direct threat in front of him.  He lashes out at the weakest of the two orcs with a series of open palm strikes and throws a single kick back at one of the orcs who where closing in.

Ano take 15 on his 7 attacks.  So 23 to hit for his 3 attacks on each of the two weakest orc and 1 attack on one of the others.
13:56, Today: Ano rolled 55 using 7d8+28 with rolls of 8,1,3,2,4,1,8.  flurry of blows 7 attack damage
So that is 24 damage to the first orc, 19 damage to the second orc, and 12 damage to the orc that took the single attack

DRAFT: I can't be sure all of this can/will happen.

Klale spins and flings his shield at the approaching goblins.
He reaches back and grabs the goblin on him and, having squeezed whatever part he has hold of, tosses it toward the goblins also.
He draws his hammer.
He slices at the nearest foe.

11:39, Today: Klale Tsolo rolled 9 using 1d10+2.  Damage. (from sword)

Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Round 3

One goblin is severely wounded by Phineas' backstab, but the other quickly dodges the second attempt and retaliates.  However, it has moved too far and is slow to recover, missing both times.  The wounded goblin spins and swings with a short sword in a swipe that catches the young rogue's armor, but does not penetrate to skin.  However, the offhand dagger catches him in the arm, but only with a scratch [1 DMG] that immediately closes up.

While Ourn reloads, one of the goblins points to his location and three begin to approach.

Toben's attack catches the Valaraukar completely off guard.  To this point, the scholar's spells have been subtle or hidden.  The raw power displayed stuns those caught in the blast so that none even think to dodge the main burst of exploding shards.  The spell cuts more than ten of them to ribbons.  However, from one of the rooftops flies a black bolt, which finds Toben's left hand.  Though it does not sink in, it does open up a sizable wound [2 DMG]...which immediately closes up.

Ano's blows are wearing the orcs down, but none are down yet.  They return his attacks with those of their own.  The first almost connects with a swift strike to the waist, but Ano's speed removes his body from the blade's path.  The other two orcs are halfhearted in their efforts at best and come closer to hitting each other than Ano.

Klale's shield scatters three goblins who are prevented entirely from attacking by their impatient fellow who attacked Klale ahead of them.  He hits the ground and rolls a bit.  The warrior then strikes out at the nearest enemy, the remaining troll [9 DMG], delivering a blow to the monster's shin on the upswing while drawing the hammer.

Two more goblins from a different angle attack Ano.  Dodging flying goblins, an angry ogre, and weary orcs, the two goblins miss the blurred form of the monk.  One misses so bad he stabs one of the orcs in the side.  Luckily for the orc, the blade scrapes off his armor and he is not hurt by the goblin.

The vastidon plods slowly forward and will reach the main battle in two rounds if things don't change.  The first troll still falls in comical fashion, blocking one approach to Klale and Ano, but cutting them off from Ourn and Toben's position in the inn.  The second troll slams his club into the now shield-less fighter, an angry, brutal blow to the chest [15 DMG] that sends careening a few steps toward the vastidon.  Only Klale's enhanced strength keeps him from flying through the air or falling before the advancing behemoth.

Xar disappears between a couple of stores into the town.

Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Round 3

Unable to effectively slink back into the shadows with the two goblins' attention now focused on him, Phineas turns his full attention to the wounded opponent in an attempt to finish it off. He feints and then makes a lunge toward the bleeding creature, though he's clearly a bit rattled by the chaos of combat and the appearance of the vastidon.

Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Round 3

Toben clutches his hand briefly, but smiles confidently as the wound quickly closes. He looks over his shoulder, "Ferb?". The furry companion pops its head out of Toben's travel pack and scurries on to his shoulder. An exchange between them lasts long enough for Toben to give a simple set of instructions.

The ferret leaps off Toben's shoulder, and in a flash of fur and claws, scampers down the side of the wall. Ferb begins to dash across the field of battle, his trajectory appears to be headed straight for the vastidon.

Toben watches for a moment, then turns for the stairs and disappears into the Inn.


2 rounds of haste left!
4 rounds of slow left!

Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Round 3

Ourn, fully reloaded, takes note of the goblins that have spotted his sniper's nest. He rests his cheek on the stock of the repeating crossbow, and takes aim on other goblins in the fray. He decides that he'll handle the 3 in close quarters when they reach him.

Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Round 3

Ano dodges the flying goblins and takes a quick look back at the vastadon, only realizing now how close it had gotten.  Ano continues to focus on the weakest looking orcs as his assault continues.  He starts striking with knees and elbows, and jumping  between targets in a blur.

Ano takes 15 on 7 attacks.  23 to hit, 3 attacks on the weakest orc and two attacks on the next two weakest.

Ignore the first roll I made.  Had it accidentally set to reroll max
18:26, Today: Ano rolled 65 using 7d8+28 with rolls of 6,5,8,3,7,2,6.  Flurry of Blows 7 attacks damage.
So 10 damage to the first, 24 to the second,  and 31 to the third.

Klale reels and spins, stroking so each hit accelerates his spin.



Sword, hammer, sword, hammer

16:53, Today: Klale Tsolo rolled 11 using 2d8 with rolls of 5,6.  Damages 2, 4.

16:52, Today: Klale Tsolo rolled 11 using 2d10 with rolls of 6,5.  Damage 1, 3.

Damages 1: 18  2: 17  3: 17  4: 18

BTW: The Hammer is +1 to hit


[It'll be important for Klale to know when the vastidon is close and what foes are between it and him. PS. Does the vastidon stomp on some enemies?

Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Round 3

Phineas struggles to connect with his adversaries allowing them to come back at him with coordination.  The first merely scrapes the youth's armor, but it allows the other to position well.  With a wicked laugh, the goblin slashes slow with his long knife and rips through Phineas' hamstring [6 DMG, RFLX to not go prone]

Ourn launches two bolts with great skill into the melee.  The first slams into one of those goblins attacking Ano, a shot that penetrats into the torso, but does not hit anything vital.  A second bolt finds one of those who had dodged shield and fellow goblin from Klale, this time in the upper arm, tearing a gash without embedding.  Neither wound is enough to slow the goblins down.

Ano, hitting his rhythm, delivers brutal killing blows to the weakened orcs.  When his blinding speed ceases, they all fall to the ground in sync, dead.

Klale finishes off another orc attempting to strike Ano, slicing through armor and chest with equal ease and following through with a crushing blow to the sternum with the deadly, beautiful hammer.  Blood sprays from the orc's mouth as it coughs trying to catch breath in lungs compressed by collapsed rib cages.  Klale's spin brings him smoothly around to the troll, which he slashes high up through the chest to the throat area.  As the troll bends somewhat to protect itself, the fighter finishes it off with the trailing hammer straight up through the chin and on out the top of the skull leaving only half a skull and a bloody mess.  The troll actually beats its companion to the ground, but just as dead.

The remaining orc look around at the carnage of its foes and the relative unscathed targets of his raid party.  With a last glance at the vastidon, it darts between two buildings and is gone.

As Ourn concentrates on covering his companions, the three goblins close in a burst of unnatural speed.  They attack the archer with rapid, vicious swings, but none are able to connect with the agile man.

Six converge on Ano, ignoring Klale.  Only one is able to connect, and that by sheer statistical luck because of the overwhelming number of attackers.  It's a good solid blow [CRIT! 4 DMG - Chest] to the monk's right rib cage that tears the shirt and a good chunk of skin right off.


The goblins seem fanatical, unwilling to preserve their own lives as the orc did.  None appears to be looking to leave any time soon.

The vastidon continues its comical, inevitable plod toward the fight, its malevolent eyes set on Klale.

Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Vastidon

The goblins continue against targets selected, however, they cannot withstand the raw physical power and skill of the group.  They are quickly dispatched, even the sniper (by Xar), leaving only the vastidon.

A tiny shadow darts from a building to the lumbering juggernaut and leaps onto a front leg before hopping away.  Too slow from the spell, and likely not even noticing the ferret, the vastidon plods on for two more steps.  It's skin turns a dark brown, the color of freshly tilled dirt.  Then its eyes droop and close just before the legs buckle and the creature sinks to the ground...much like the dead troll.  A slow, deep breath shows the thing to still be alive, but somehow sleeping.

The square is suddenly quiet except for the panting of the heroes and a small nighttime breeze stirring up detritus in the town streets.

Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Vastidon

Toben takes a moment to check on Saris. When he hears the thud of slumbering vastidon, he steps outside the Inn to evaluate the situation.

He sighs in relief. "That thing will only be asleep for a short while. We need to figure out how to handle it, and quickly."

Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Vastidon

Ano stands amidst the carnage of battle as he turns to find no more enemies around him.  Every thing seems quiet now and he feels strange and out of place now that he is standing still.  He is breathing heavily as he checks the wound in his side and makes his way over to the others.

"That wasn't so bad" he offers up a small smile, despite looking exausted.

Ourn comes down stairs from his shooting spot and out onto the street to investigate the Vastidon with Klale. He marvels at the massive creature, and feels tiny compared to it.  "I courted a girl that looked like this beast, once. Homely thing she was, but could plow a field faster than a pony".

Taking in the remaining gravity of the situation, Ourn Looks to Klale.
"How do you suppose we're to dispose of this? I don't reckon he'll be napping for long."

Hobbling only slightly as he rejoins the others, Phineas looks wonderingly at the massive creature. "Is it a dumb brute, I wonder? Perhaps without someone leading or prodding it, it could go back to…well, wherever such things come from. If we can't leave it to run free, however, it would seem that our options are to tie it up, which may not be effective, or to dispatch it."

Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Vastidon

Toben looks over at Ourn, "Assuming nothing disturbs it, we have less than an hour." His gaze shifts over to Phineas. "Given the size of this thing, dispatching may be difficult. Xar and Saris seemed to know what it's called, perhaps they have some ideas. You make an interesting point though, Phin. None of these creatures seem smart enough to lead an assault like this. Something must have spurred their march forward, and chance are it's still out there."

Toben reaches into his pouch and pulls out a tiny bell. "We may be here a short while longer, and I"d rather not have something surprise us. I'll set up a perimeter."

Toben casts Alarm centered on the Inn. He gives everyone in the party the password to not set off the spell, Nestael.

Chapter 5 - Battle of Dunstan: Vastidon

How about a point-blank shot at one eye and a sword thrust at the other? The creature certainly was eyeing me...headed straight for me. I'd rather try some vastidon steak than be crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside for its pleasure.
