"Keyla, KILL!" Tsuki said as she pointed to the web-troll!

Tsuki would then whip her tail at the troll twice, firing those flames at him directly both times! "You are finished here!"

[OOC: Action 1: Command Keyla.
Action 2: Foxfire Troll.
Action 3: Foxfire Troll.

19:29, Today: Tsuki rolled 12,14 using 1d20+7,3d4+4 with rolls of 5,4,4,2.  Foxfire (Fire) 1.

Damage: 8

Yay for sucky rolls!]

Connor cringes as the troll tore into Hershel after the man-lizard over-extended. There wasn't much he could do for the man at the moment, so chose to continue focusing on supporting the party with his protective magic. The aura had consistently given them a much-needed boost and he had to make sure not to let it flounder.

And thus, with a moment of concentration he poured more of his mana into the effect, causing the sparking aura to once again expand even further than before so that it covered a 30 foot radius! Thankfully, this should allow Connor to stay in the back line while still hopefully covering even Hershel and the other front liners with the aura.

He considered sending Cabochon in to give Hershel a potion, but the man was engaged too closely with the troll and the risk was too high the troll would interfere. Hershel needed to fall back.

"Hershel! Fall back toward me!" Connor shouted out to him.

He then wanted to summon some help, but couldn't without sacrificing the protection aura which he wasn't willing to do. So instead...he had to set up Cabochon So he could try and save Hershel.

...but he had to do so in a way the familiar wouldn't be in reach of the troll.

"Cabby! Do your thing but be smart about it!" Connor said as the familiar swirled away from Connor's orbit and flew through the air toward but at the same time above the battlefield, where it then readied itself to use a healing elixer on Hershel if the man listened to Connor's request to fall back!


Action 1: Sustain Protective Ward. It gains +5 feet of Radius so is now 30' radius. Party members within it continues to get a +1 untyped bonus to AC. Connor's AC = 19

Action 2: Command Familiar to grant familiar 2 actions.

Action 3: Command Familiar to grant familiar 2 actions, again.

Cabochon flew away from Connor and to a point in between Connor and Hershel, but not right immediately behind the man as he didn't want to be in the troll's direct reach. It then floated a healing elixer from its orbit and held it steady, almost invitingly, toward Hershel...beckoning the man over to it.


Command Action 1:

-Move to about 15 feet away from the troll, to avoid its 10' reach and thus its opportunity attacks. Hershel will have to like move 10 feet+, even if he has to take tumble or take several safe-move actions or whatever (I think P2 has 5-foot steps right?). But game-wise Cabochon will be able to affect Hershel that way while being out of the troll's reach.

Command Action 2:

-Ready Action: Use Healing Elixer on Hershel if Hershel moves into range next turn.

Dee moves forward, seeing Hershel in a critical way. She points her staff, and a glowing beam of light strikes the Gator-man.

OOC:
1-Moves up to get in range.

2-3: Using 2 action heal spell.

18:37, Today: Dr Feck, on behalf of Dee, rolled 14 using 2d8+8 with rolls of 5,1.  Healing for Hershel.

Malcom charges the troll from above, landing on its back and stabbing into it via his sharpened wings.

OOC
1-Lands behind troll, is now flanking off Hershel.

2-Attacks with wings.

3-Raises shield with wings.

18:41, Today: Secret Roll: Dr Feck, on behalf of Malcom, rolled 14 using 2d8+4 with rolls of 8,2.

18:41, Today: Secret Roll: Dr Feck, on behalf of Malcom, rolled 20 using 1d20+9 with rolls of 11.  Cloak attack.

The troll is missed by many attacks, but Nathan scores a hit with his rifle right in the creature's neck! It starts to bleed, but the fire damage it is suffering keeps it from healing! However, as the creature reacts to the rifle shot, it is also stabbed from behind by Malcom! This causes it to wheel about its massive bulk, causing the slight flames to be extinguished! If the fire is not renewed, it will start to heal again very soon!

The creature bites with its massive jaws upon Malcom, but his wing shields knock its head aside! However, the massive arms manage to make it past the other wing, and claws deeply into Malcome's torso. Rending the flesh, just as it did on Hershel.


OOC-Troll misses with bite, hits with second attack. Malcom uses reaction to do a shield block, reducing the damage somewhat. Malcom takes a total of 18 hp damage!


18:50, Today: Secret Roll: System AI rolled 14 using 2d8+5 with rolls of 1,8. Rend

18:50, Today: Secret Roll: System AI rolled 11 using 2d8+5 with rolls of 3,3.  Claw damage Malcom.

Hershel's ears were ringing from the impact, and either damaged senses, or rage kept him from moving an inch away from the troll as he continued his assault on the large enemy. He attempts to trip the troll with a sweep of his tail and a shove of his clawed hand. Taking a moment to bite into a healing potion...?

Action 1: Trying to trip the Troll Rolled 20, 8 damage (Let me know if I did this correctly?)

Action 2: Claw the troll Rolled 17, 7 Damage

In reply to Hershel (msg # 141):

OOC-trips only do damage if you crit with the atheltics roll. All that trip feature on your tail does is allow you to make trip attacks in the first place. You will get your item bonus to your atheltics check. Despite that, you need a 21 in order to trip him. However, he is flanked so his AC is 2 lower than it normally is against your attacks. I would apply that to hit reflex DC as well in this case, allowing you to trip him. The trip in of itself does not damage, but does make him prone. As you have a flanked, prone foe, that should be enough of a bonus so your claw attack hits.

Seeing as Hershel is not listening to Connor's request to fall back, he decides to deal with healing the man more actively. But he had to make sure cabochon didn't become an attractive target either.

So once again, he once again pours his power into sustaining the protective aura, and it incrementally continues to expand in size.

He then mentally sends Cabochon some commands, via HUD of course.

Cabby? Ne more active and go heal Hershel. Don't get in that thing's reach though. Your safety comes first if it's between you and Hershel, as he over-extended. Still...let's try our best to help the front line.

Try and help Malcom too. Just stay out of that troll's reach.

The familiar suddenly began to fly higher into the air, diagonally a bit so he was about 20 or so feet above the battle and he was above Hershel. From the air, one of the healing elixer jars suddenly telekinetically popped as the lid of it came off and it spun in mid-air, a red liquid pouring right directly onto Hershel! And strangely enough, due to the fantasy-physics of it all, the liquid splashed onto the man covering him for a moment before disappearing and "soaking" into the man, seeping under his scales and into open wounds and gashes. And suddenly...those open wounds and gashes began to unnaturally and speedily mend and close somewhat!

Canochon then floated slightly over Malcom, and once again poured another healing elixer onto the gargoyle-like man. The liquid splashed onto the man for an awkward moment before suddenly soaking into the man's body, like her were some kind of living sponge. And his wounds began to knit together somewhat as well!

Action 1: Sustain Protective Ward. It gains +5 feet of Radius so is now 35' radius. Party members within it continues to get a +1 untyped bonus to AC. Connor's AC = 19

Action 2: Grant familiar 2 actions
     -Move 20 into the air above Hershel.
     -Pour Elixer of Life (minor) on Hershel. He heals 3 hit points and gains +1 vs poison and disease for 10 minutes.

Action 3: Grant familiar 2 actions
     -Float over Malcom, staying 20 feet high.
     -Pour Elixer of Life (minor)  on Malcom. He heals 6 hit points and gains +1 vs poison and disease for 10 minutes.

Thanks to Hershel's well timed trip, Malcom rakes his sharp steel weapons across the giant's throat with both wings. He then brings the wings up in front of him, ready for a counterattack.

Hershel lashes out with his tail, knocking the giant off his feet! Then he clawed into the beast's thick hide, bringing green blood to the surface!

After many glancing shots earlier off the creatures thick hide, Both Nathan and John managed to score two gushing wounds with their weapons! Once to the face, and another to its neck with its softer hide.

Connor maintains the ward, and uses his familiar to heal both Hershel and Malcom.

Tsuki and Keyla try to put the beast down, but due to all the rapid motion around their target neither can get a clean blow.

Dee manages to heal the entire group with her powers, and Malcom nearly cuts the thing's head off!

The creature seems to slow and weaken...for a moment. Then it's clear the fire that was burning it served more than one purpose. It grinned as it rose, using its four extra spider legs, and loomed over Malcom, ignoring the others. That twisted grin's reasoning was clear...the wounds it had suffered where sealing up right before the party's eyes!

It lunged at Malcom, but with Connor's ward and his own defensive weapons, he knocks aside the huge maw, and Shield blocks with his wings when the claw scores a very minor hit. However, Malcom is still standing due to all that healing he got!


OOC-
1-Troll stands to avoid prone minus

2-Bite
23:13, Today: Secret Roll: System AI rolled 19 using 1d20+14 with rolls of 5.  Troll bite on Malcom. Miss due to Malcom's ac of 22 due to shield and Connor!

3-Claw

23:14, Today: Secret Roll: System AI rolled 9 using 2d8+5 with rolls of 3,1.  Claw damage on Malcom.

Malcom reduces the damage to 2 due to his shield block reaction.

Everybody expect for Malcom is healed to full thanks to Connor and Dee! Malcom is basically nicked.

Nathan Reloads his musket. "I am starting to get better at this. I hope we can get time and material to restock on bullets and our consumables. I am going through bullets fast  "


Action 1: Reload musket
Action 2  plot strategy
Action 3  Shoot the troll

01:28, Today: Nathan rolled 15 using 3d6+4 with rolls of 1,6,4.  musket damage.

01:27, Today: Nathan rolled 25 using 1d20+9 with rolls of 16.  plot strategy.

Seeing as they got the spiders under control and it was just them versus the troll, Connor decided to try and give them another dose of his magic to help with their accuracy, given how much they were missing with their attacks.

First, he poured more focus into his aura. They still had several rounds left on the thing and he was getting a lot of mileage out of it. As he did so, the sparkling field yet again increased in radius by five feet.

He then made mystical mudras with his hands and chanted a moment before, once again, a pleasant tingling sensation filled the party as an unnatural and mystical potential energy rippled through them. The party members each knew that if they took a moment to focus on that sensation, that they could grasp onto and actualize Connor's magic for a moment and sharpen their focus in the process!

Action 1: Sustain Protective Ward. It gains +5 feet of Radius so is now 40' radius. Party members within it continues to get a +1 untyped bonus to AC. Connor's AC = 19

Action 2 and 3: Connor casts Infectious Enthusiasm. Connor gains +1 to attack rolls until the start of his next turn.

The party members can Each choose to spend 1 action to grant themselves a floating ongoing +1 bonus to attack rolls until the start of their next turn as well.

Seeing the troll regenerate put fear into John.  "This has got to work."

He feels Connor's magic and concentrates.  He then sees the "+1 to attack granted" bonus in his HUD and nods.

"This time I will hit."

He aims.  He fires.


Action: 1 Take Floating +1 bonus
Action: 2 Attack with bonus.  20 vs AC.  Damage 8.
Action: 3 Interact to reload


14:13, Today: John Miranescu rolled 19 using 1d20+10 with rolls of 9.  Attack with gun plus10.
Forgot to add the +1 here so the total is 20

14:13, Today: John Miranescu rolled 8 using 2d6+4 with rolls of 1,3.  Gun Damage.

"Keyla take him down!" She commanded her dire fox companion as she herself began to cast a spell.

As she casted her spell during the incantation she would look at the Troll and utter the words. "You will lay prone at the feet of my companions."

[OOC: Action 1: Command Keyla.
Action 2 and 3: Cast Command on Troll. He gets a DC 18 Will save.

https://2e.aonprd.com/Spells.aspx?ID=45

This will be interesting if he get's knocked prone again.]

GM Edit-OOC:
In the future, please feel free to make the NPC's saves against your spells for them. It speeds up combat and helps me post when it gets around to the enemy's turn.

The Troll's will save is listed in his combat stats I posted before.

11:29, Today: Dr Feck, on behalf of Tsuki, rolled 21 using 1d20+7 with rolls of 14.  Troll will save.

See? If you had made that roll, he might have failed!

Keyla once more goes on the offensive against the troll biting and clawing at him!

[OOC: Seems I been forgetting her extra damage she gets against flat-footed opponents since flanking the troll makes him flat-footed and he's all sorts of flanked.

23:33, Today: Keyla rolled 15,6,4 using 1d20+8,2d6+2,1d4 with rolls of 7,2,2,4.  Keyla Bite.

Hit AC: 13
Damage: 8]

Dee uses her staff to launch her energy blasts, but the troll moves it large bulk and avoids it at the last second.

Hershel launches himself at the troll, tearing with his teeth and jaws.

Malcom gather some of the existing fires up, and tosses it at the troll while he is being torn apart by the others.
