Kraw flips around to block the jester's probable path.

Ayeesha cuts down another zombie, her oversized sword literally cutting it in half.
If you see in the last write up I already handled your two AoOs, one dead and one missed due to a 3.

Kyra realizes that in this main chamber next to the stairwell she can fly straight up and be permanently out of reach of the zombies. Unfortunately her card piercing into dead flesh doesn't do as much damage as it would have on a living subject.

Figus takes the head off of one zombie (Crit!) and he and Alpha stab down the other one with Alpha taking the zombie down with a fearsome bite at its throat, ripping the head off in the process.

The door opens up just as Kraw predicted and the jester giggles as she sees the Tengu blocking her passage. She flips open her cape to reveal a crossbow and in one smooth motion she brings it up and shoots it at Kraw. As the bolt leaves it lets out an earpiercing shriek. Kraw ducks his head and the shrieking bolt goes right over his head. For the first time the jester stops giggling and looks down at her crossbow looking a bit confused.
And in her big debut....natural 1, lol



Round 4

Kraw launches himself over the head of the bemused jester, landing at F-9 after a spectacular acrobatic flip. He turns and digs his silversheen dagger into her side with a quick motion.


Move/Flip to F-9. Should not draw AoO because she is armed with a ranged weapon.


00:47, Today: Kraw rolled 32 using 1d20+17 with rolls of 15.  Acrobatics to avoid AoO.

00:46, Today: Kraw rolled 22 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 14.  Dagger attack.

00:46, Today: Kraw rolled 8 using 1d4+5 with rolls of 3.  Dagger damage

With all the undead dead again, Kyra switches her aim at the jester. "Comedy is a dead art form."

Move to H12, casting Frostbite and using my deck to deliver it. Looks like a crit for 14 nonlethal damage and the target is fatigued. And with no save, that's pretty neat for a 1st level spell.

10:03, Today: Kyra rolled 28,7 using 1d20+8,1d6+5 with rolls of 20,2.  Frostbite (Ranged touch attack, Damage).
10:03, Today: Kyra rolled 26 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 18.  Crit?

In reply to Kyra (msg # 77):

"Come and dance with me and tell me about yourself."

Ayeesha has  40' of movement: She moves into position by squeezing into the room with 20' of movement ending in G&H 10&11.

Move Action: Move
Free Action: Rage
Free action: Drop sword.
Standard Action: Attempt Grapple.

06:49, Today: Ayeesha rolled 19 using 1d20+13 with rolls of 6.  Grapple attempt +13.

19 against her CMD.

OCC: Does Ayeesha have a new dance partner?

Figus move into the room to flank the jester with Kraw.


10:36, Today: Figus Dva rolled 14 using 1d8+7 with rolls of 7.  Damage.
10:35, Today: Figus Dva rolled 17 using 1d20+9 with rolls of 8.  Scimitar attack (+13 if she is human).

Alpha follows and attacks from 10 feet away

10:37, Today: Figus Dva rolled 15 using 1d20+2 with rolls of 13.  Alpha attack.

Kraw flips around behind the woman stabbing her as he goes.

Ayeesha sweeps in with her large size and giant arms and wraps the woman in a giant bear hug...or at least she thought she did. Ayeesha hears giggling from off to her side and opens her arms up to show that she caught nothing but air.
CMD is 24

Figus steps in and stabs at her but his elvish opponent presents a much narrower target than he is used to and he stabs clean through her robes but misses hitting her flesh. Alpha takes up position behind and stabs as well and despite being backed into a corner the woman twists and turns out of the way. Judging by the the magic appearing and disappearing in the air she is pretty heavily enchanted. Despite wearing nothing but a jester's outfit Kraw knows her skin is armored like steel and as Kyra launches a card her way it bounces off a circular field of magic hovering invisibly in the air.

The woman dives through Ayeesha's legs, rolling in a tight somersault and then springing to her feet. She looks back at the party and giggles maniaclly as she produces a bluish potion. She flicks off the stopper and slams it back. As the magical potion takes hold she fades from sight, giggling and laughing the whole time.

She is invisible but you know where she is so you can make attacks but remember the 50% concealment mischance

The invisibility effect is countered by the glittering glowing dust that the jester is covered in from Kyra's spell although the glowing dust is slowly fading out.

Seeing that the jester is attempting to escape by disappearing Figus casts a Faerie Fire to cover it with purple light and make sure it does not disappear. He then moves into melee range to prevent an escape.

Alpha tries to stab in the jester's general direction but hits nothing but air.

18:58, Today: Figus Dva rolled 8 using 1d20+6 with rolls of 2.  Alpha attack.

In reply to Figus Dva (msg # 81):
Ayeesha will
Move: to grappling range with reach and
Standard Action: Swipe at her for another grapple attempt after
Free Action: Trigger destined strike for +2 attack bonus.

"Now, dont play hard to get Mon Cherie, Come dance with me!"


21:04, Today: Ayeesha rolled 22 using 1d20+15 with rolls of 7.  Grapple +10, +3 str, +2 destined strike.

Another miss!

Kraw moves quickly between Ayeesha's legs to H-10 while pulling a bag from his Handy Haversack. He says "stick around, lady. You're too much fun to leave the party...." as he heaves the Tanglefoot bag at where he just saw her disappear.


20:18, Today: Kraw rolled 21 using 1d20+7 with rolls of 14.  Ranged touch attack.

Kyra throws another of her enchanted cards at where her companions are swinging at an invisible opponent.

Move to J13 and Frostbite, attack 2 of 5. Again, ranged touch attack for non-lethal damage and making target fatigued.

10:45, Today: Kyra rolled 25,8 using 1d20+8,1d6+5 with rolls of 17,3.  Forstbite (Ranged touch attack, Damage).
10:46, Today: Kyra rolled 59 using 1d100 with rolls of 59.  Concealment (<50 misses).

Figus and Ayeesha fail to connect but Kraw and Kyra find ways to slow the woman down. While she does not appear to be glued to the floor the splashing of glue from the tanglefoot bag does seem to slow her down a bit. Likewise Kyra's spell saps energy making the manic woman seem a little lethargic.

The jester snarls at the group, slowly backing up the stairs and creating some distance between herself and the heroes. As she approaches the top she zaps a sickly green spell at Kyra that causes the strength to be sucked right out of her!
Make a Fortitude save vs. DC 12 or take 7 points of STR damage

Round 6

Kyra feels her strength being sapped from her. "Ugh. Get her before she gets away!" In retaliation she throws another of her arcane cards at the figure outlined by her spell.

Failed save, took 7 STR damage. Fortunately that does not hinder Kyra's ranged touch attack in any way. I think.
10:48, Today: Kyra rolled 10 using 1d20+1 with rolls of 9.  Fort save.

Frostbite, attack 3 of 5. 7 non-lethal damage?
11:20, Today: Kyra rolled 28,7 using 1d20+8,1d6+5 with rolls of 20,2.  Frostbite (Ranged touch attack, Damage).
11:20, Today: Kyra rolled 11 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 3.  Crit?

I did not roll for concealment as I'm not sure I need to, considering she is outlined by Glitterdust. DM can make one if it's still needed.

In reply to Kyra (msg # 86):

Delay: Until Figus and Alpha move out of the way.

Move Action: Squeeze 10 into room then move to J&K,11&12 squares.

Free Action: Destined Strike to +2 attack.

Standard Action: Attempt to grapple the snarling Jester.

17:00, Today: Ayeesha rolled 24 using 1d20+15 with rolls of 9.  Grapple +15 The Jester.

OCC:I believe that is good enough to start a grapple!

"Ma Cherie, I do believe its our destiny to dance"

Kraw takesca running leap atop the bannister and continues to run up it with sure-footed steps. At the 2nd floor he flips and lands behind the jester, where he applies his superior skill to bring down the villain without killing her.


Blades of Mercy: Use slashing weapon to inflict nonlethal damage without taking a -4 penalty, adds +1 trait bonus to nonlethal damage.

Boots of Striding/Leaping: 40' move


18:00, Today: Kraw rolled 29 using 1d20+17 with rolls of 12.  Acrobatics .

18:00, Today: Kraw rolled 12 using 1d20+10 with rolls of 2.  Dagger attack, flanking.

17:59, Today: Kraw rolled 10 using 1d4+6 with rolls of 4.  Dagger damage, nonlethal.

17:59, Today: Kraw rolled 18 using 3d8 with rolls of 6,6,6.  Sneak attack damage, nonlethal, if it applies.


Stuck the landing, but fouled up the follow-up strike
This message was last edited by the player at 01:57, Sat 18 Sept 2021.

Figus takes the time to apply some of the poison he had picked up previously to his blade (scimitar). It would not be enough to kill the jester but could knock the person out for a while and then moves into position.

19:34, Today: Figus Dva rolled 65 using 1d100 with rolls of 65.  Applying Poison 5% chance of exposure.

Kyra responds back with her own spell to freeze the jester as she struggles to carry her own clothes.

Ayeesha grabs hold of the jester while Kraw attempts to stab her but she manages to wiggle out of the way.

Figus meanwhile is preparing his poison.

Despite being grappled by a giant, frostbitten, fatigued, and covered in sticky glue, the jester is so slippery she very nearly escapes Ayeesha's grasp.
Missed by 1...

The jester wiggles and struggles and ends up getting a knife in her hand although she doesn't have enough time to use it...yet...

From deeper in the mansion there is a loud thumping sound as if someone is beating on a doorway.

Round 7

Kyra flings another card at the glowing figure now held by Ayeesha. She remembers what happened to the last spellcaster that danced with Ayeesha. "Huh! We have you now!"

I don't really have any other way to contribute here, so attack 4/5. Hit? She does take -4 to DEX for being grappled now, that could help.
18:47, Today: Kyra rolled 21,6 using 1d20+8,1d6+5 with rolls of 13,1.  Frostbite (Ranged touch attack, Damage).

In reply to Kyra (msg # 91):

Ayeesha will attempt to maintain the grapple and pin the Jester.  She grabs both wrists and steps on her foot to pin her in place.

CMB: Strength +8, Size +1, BAB +5, Destined Strike +2, maintain Grapple +5 = +21.

Free Action:Destined Strike for  +2

16:27, Today: Ayeesha rolled 36 using 1d20+21 with rolls of 15.  Grapple attempt to Pin Jester.

"Ahhh, Ma Cherie I do believe I have a crush on you!"

A pinned creature is tightly bound and can take few actions. A pinned creature cannot move and is denied its Dexterity bonus. A pinned character also takes an additional –4 penalty to his Armor Class. A pinned creature is limited in the actions that it can take. A pinned creature can always attempt to free itself, usually through a combat maneuver check or Escape Artist check. A pinned creature can take verbal and mental actions, but cannot cast any spells that require a somatic or material component. A pinned character who attempts to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability must make a concentration check (DC 10 + grappler’s CMB + spell level) or lose the spell. Pinned is a more severe version of grappled, and their effects do not stack.

Casting Spells while Pinned: The only spells which can be cast while grappling or pinned are those without somatic components and whose material components (if any) you have in hand. Even so, you must make a concentration check (DC 10 + the grappler’s CMB + the level of the spell you’re casting) or lose the spell.

Kraw quick-draws a second Dagger,  and cuts the jester with narrow slashes meant to pain her without bleeding her.

TWF, nonlethal


01:19, Today: Kraw rolled 9 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 1.  Dagger attack #1, flanking.

01:19, Today: Kraw rolled 10 using 1d4+6 with rolls of 4.  Dagger damage, nonlethal.

01:18, Today: Kraw rolled 9 using 3d8 with rolls of 3,4,2.  Sneak attack damage, nonlethal.

01:18, Today: Kraw rolled 20 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 12.  Dagger attack #2, flanking.

01:17, Today: Kraw rolled 5 using 1d4+3 with rolls of 2.  Dagger damage.

01:17, Today: Kraw rolled 15 using 3d8 with rolls of 1,8,6.  Sneak attack damage, nonlethal.

For each sneak attack she takes, she is bewildered (-2 Attack [-4 vs Kraw]) for 1 round (Debilitating Injury)

Figus is amazed by the effort the rest of the group puts worth in handling this threat

11:52, Today: Figus Dva rolled 10 using 1d20+9 with rolls of 1.  Scimitar attack vs. grappled jester.

The giant barbarian bears down on the jester, leaning against her and pinning her against the wall. Despite this the woman is still able to avoid several attacks although she takes a hilt to the side of her head from Kraw. It is clear however she is far from finished.

She takes 5 nonlethal damage. Unless I'm missing a special feat or ability you can't use a lethal weapon non-lethally and inflict sneak attack damage. You'll have to switch to a sap or some other non-lethal weapon.

She twists and squirms but is unable to escape Ayeesha's giant grasp.

Meanwhile the last remnants of the glitterdust spell fade from view.


Translation she cannot roll above a 10, lol

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 95):

Incorrect.
Trait : Blades of Mercy. Any slashing
Weapon can deal nonlethal damage with no
attack penalty. Gain +1 trait bonus to
Nonlethal damage

As such, one blade does damage AND Sneak attack if she was pinned priorly. As well as the rider effect.

In reply to Kraw (msg # 96):


Ayeesha will attempt to maintain the pin and inflict unarmed damage(1d3+7) on the Jester.

Ayeesha growls as a primal beast. "GGRRROWWWLL"


20:00, Today: Ayeesha rolled 30 using 1d20+18 with rolls of 12.  Maintain Pin while inflicting damage (1d3+7).

20:01, Today: Ayeesha rolled 8 using 1d3+7 with rolls of 1.  Pin damage from unarmed strike .

Figus once again attempts to cut eh jester in order to inject him with poison.

21:15, Today: Figus Dva rolled 12 using 1d20+9 with rolls of 3.  Scimitar attack vs. grappled jester.
21:19, Today: Figus Dva rolled 6 using 1d20+5 with rolls of 1.  Alpha aiding Figus' to hit.

The jester is still Fairy Fired at least

Kraw shifts position and lays into the jester with stinging cuts meant to incapacitate, not kill.


18:25, Today: Kraw rolled 27 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 19.  Dagger attack #1, flanking. Threat!

18:25, Today: Kraw rolled 10 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 2.  Crit confirm. No crit!

18:25, Today: Kraw rolled 7 using 1d4+6 with rolls of 1.  Dagger damage, nonlethal.

18:24, Today: Kraw rolled 15 using 3d8 with rolls of 2,8,5.  Sneak attack damage, nonlethal.

18:24, Today: Kraw rolled 12 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 4.  Dagger attack #2, flanking.

18:24, Today: Kraw rolled 4 using 1d4+3 with rolls of 1.  Dagger damage, nonlethal.

18:23, Today: Kraw rolled 14 using 3d8 with rolls of 2,5,7.  Sneak attack damage, nonlethal.

If AC 15 is accurate, Jester takes 22 no lethal damage and has -2 AC (-4 AC vs Kraw) for 1 round. If she was affected by the previous round (-4 AC vs Kraw), then she took 40 nonlethal damage and has the same penalty for 2 more rounds.
