Re: IC Shadows of Gallowspire
As you gather in the reading room of the Order of the Palatine Eye, you make your final preparations. Dorrn hefts a sack full of supplies for the trip; food, water, a tent; you plan to travel by magic, but it would be foolish to go in completely unprepared.
You all link hands, and Ward utters the words of the spell. The study fades out in a heartbeat, and in the next, you feel a terrible wrenching sensation as you find yourself standing in a clearing. Your heads are spinning from the trip, and it's a bit of a struggle to stand still while your entire body wants to lurch sideways. You stand in the shadow of a large archway, made of moss-grown bleached bones, glittering with gems.
The ground is blasted and dead in a wide area, and the oak trees growing about 15' away look sickly and sinister. Even the sun in the sky looks pale and dying. Ravens caw with excitement from the trees.
After a moment, a wind rushes through the clearing, and the trees sway and creak...and keep moving after the breeze dies down, unfurling striking branches and showing signs of both mobility and hostile intent!

Re: IC Shadows of Gallowspire
The canny elf doesn't miss a beat, loosing an arrow at the nearest hostile tree before most of his allies register the threat.

Oh well, my fault.Spoiler: Sniping sphereSnipers specialize in making single, deadly shots, often over great distances. Practitioners of the Sniping sphere can shoot or throw ranged weapons at a creature engaged in melee without taking the standard –4 penalty on their attack roll. Associated Feat: Precise Shot.
All practitioners of the Sniping sphere gain the following ability:
Deadly Shot: As a special attack action, you may make an attack with a ranged weapon. You may add any one (snipe) talent you know to this attack.
In addition, you may expend your martial focus to increase the damage dealt by the attack by 1d10, or 1d6 if the attack targets touch AC or is made with a scatter weapon. You must choose whether or not to use this ability before making your attack roll. These extra damage dice are not multiplied on a critical hit, but are added to the total. For every 4 points of base attack bonus you possess, you deal an additional 1d10 damage, or an additional 1d6 if the attack targets touch AC or is made with a scatter weapon.
Spoiler: perfect shotAs long as you have martial focus, you may roll twice for each attack roll with a ranged weapon made against a creature with cover while using the attack action and take the higher result. Whenever you would suffer a miss chance due to concealment, roll the miss chance twice and take the most favorable result. In addition, as long as you have martial focus, you no longer automatically miss when rolling a natural 1 on a ranged attack roll; your attack must still hit the target’s AC as normal. At +10 base attack bonus, you can reroll a result of 1 on a ranged attack roll once per round.Spoiler: steady shotWhen performing a deadly shot, you may ignore the cover bonus to AC granted to targets by anything less than total cover, and the miss chance granted to targets by anything less than total concealment. Total cover and total concealment provide their normal benefits against your ranged attacks. At +10 base attack bonus, you also ignore total concealment.

This increased threatened area is applied after the effects of the reach weapon property. Until the beginning of your next turn, you may make attacks of opportunity against any creature in this threatened area that provokes attacks of opportunity. You may move to bring the creature that provokes the attack of opportunity within your reach as part of these attacks, provided your total movement before your next turn does not exceed your base speed. Any movement you make provokes attacks of opportunity as normal. Talents with the (zone) tag grant additional effects to this ability. Each patrol may only benefit from one (zone) talent.Spoiler: Punishing Rebuke (zone)When a creature attacks an ally within the area of your patrol, not including yourself, they provoke an attack of opportunity from you.

Re: IC Shadows of Gallowspire
Ward
Ugh... What happened? His head spinning he looks around and see's the twisted trees awakening. Fighting back the bile rising in his throat he casts a spell to hasten his allies and then attempts to fly away from the approaching trees.
Kickshaw!? Any idea what these things are?
Hmm... Let me take a look. Two glowing eyes peek out from a satchel and study the malevolent looking trees.

Re: IC Shadows of Gallowspire
A deep, rumbling growl erupts from one of the trees as an arrow buries deep within the trunk. The ravens caw and rush into the sky above, circling the area.
One tree, then another, hammer away at Lethos with several long branches each. He parries, dodges, rolls and jumps, and is only slightly glanced by the branches.
But the third tree strikes true once, then again. Branches wrap around Lethos, holding him by the neck and dragging him to the tree. He is hoisted into the air, his feet dangling, while choking sounds escape his throat.
Spoiler: oocTwo nat 20ies, but nowhere close to confirmed. 28 damage. Grappled, pulled adjacent to tree #3, then hoisted 5' into the air. Strangled (cannot speak).Last edited by CasualViking; 2017-09-07 at 12:33 PM.

Re: IC Shadows of Gallowspire
A fourth tree shambles over to the archway and tries to grab Ward before he flies out of reach, and aaaaalmost manages to grab his shoe. The fifth and sixth tresh at Dorrn like he was a pile of grain and it was harvest season, almost driving him to his knees with their heavy blows.
.Spoiler: OOC for Dorrn (ouch)one hit for 15 damage, another for 15, and a third hit also for 15. But you are not grappled.

Re: IC Shadows of Gallowspire
"Is this where we were headed?" Valeria looks around the clearing confusion, not immediately realising the danger of the trees. Her eyes narrow as her allies seemingly start flailing at the trees.
Spoiler: OOCWith +18 to willpower, and the extra +4 for seeing Dorn be attacked, we're looking at not rolling a 1: (1d20+22)[28]
"What are you do- Oh!" she sputters as the situation becomes clear to her.
"Lady protect us!" Light flares briefly around her, settling into a more steady corona, and solidifying into dimly glowing silvery wings. She lets them carry her forward, into the fray, as she draws her shield and the Raven's Head.
Spoiler: OOC 2I think I'm currently not within the reach of anything but '5', and Ward grants me cover from that one, so spellcasting should not provoke AoOs.
Actions:
Free: make a save vs illusion.
Standard: Prayer. All allies gain +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks, enemies take -1 on the same. Note that, generally speaking, bonuses and penalties to attack rolls apply to CMB rolls as well.
Swift: Activate Stance of the Crane Knight. Grants Valeria a fly speed of 40ft, and DR 10/evil.
Move: Move into the spot marked on the map. I believe this provokes AoO from #1 and #3. AC is 30. CMD is 27.

Components V, S, DF
EFFECT
Range 40 ft.
Area all allies and foes within a 40-ft.-radius burst centered on you

DESCRIPTION
You bring special favor upon yourself and your allies while bringing disfavor to your enemies. You and each of your allies gain a +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks, while each of your foes takes a -1 penalty on such rolls.
Full text of Stance of the Crane Knight:
SpoilerStance of the Crane Knight
Discipline: Silver Crane (Stance) [good]; Level: 5
Prerequisite(s): Two Silver Crane maneuvers
Initiation Action: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: Stance
DESCRIPTION
As a disciple of the Silver Crane, the martial disciple may manifest the essence of his celestial patrons along his body, its light radiating from his soul to form silver-feathered ethereal wings from his back and a blazing halo of argent radiance around his head. While in this stance, you gain a fly speed equal to twice your base land speed with average maneuverability and you gain DR 10/evil. You also radiate light as a light spell from the halo-like effect of this stance while it is in effect.

Re: IC Shadows of Gallowspire
Ward
As Ward flies into the air he see's one of the trees vines wrap around Lethos and begin to drag him towards the tree. Ward shouts a quick incantation of magical escape at his entangled ally. He hovers above the battlefield as Kickshaw tells him what is known about their adversaries. Ward shouts to his allies. These are Hangman trees they have spores which can make you think they are friendly. They are vulnerable to electrical attacks.
Ward reaches into his haversack and pulls out a rod of metamagic power. He casts a spell at one of the trees attacking Dornn and channels the energy through the rod converting the fire damage into electricity.
SpoilerCast Liberating Command on Lethos as an Immediate action.

Valeria glides past the grasping arms of the trees. One of Ward's lightning blasts bounces harmlessly, but the other two leave deep gouges in tree #5.

Re: IC Shadows of Gallowspire
Dorrn
"Ugh...always hate jumpin' around like that." Dorrn says as he steadies himself and his rumbling guts. "Nice place, where do we - waggh!" He says in surprise as Lethos starts shooting the trees. "What are you doin' lad? Things? They are trees." He says to Ward, dropping the sack of supplies. "They no beauties but they just..." He trails off as Lethos is dragged into the air and stumbles back as he's thackwed by the long branches. "Now just hold on here!" He says and glances down at the long red cuts on his arms. "Ain't going down to no trees!" He shouts as he charges towards the trees, drawing his axe along the way and taking two swipes at them.

Spoiler: ooc15 damage, and you're grappled by tree number 4. i'll let you finish the charge, but you can only attack one-handed, not two-handed, so tghe damage numbers will probably be a little lower.

Re: IC Shadows of Gallowspire
Lethos opens a gash in the blackened tree with his spear, then pounds and pounds and pounds away at the wound, splitting the bark open to reveal the veiny plant-flesh beneath. Wet tendrils spill out in a glistening mound, and the tree shudders and collapses in on itself.
The tree next to Valeria (#1) seems confused that such a delicious morsel would willingly stray so close, and completely fails to get a hold of her. The next tree over does grab her and pulls her close. Her divine protections leave her almost unharmed, though (3 damage).
Dorrn finds himself attacked by three plant monsters. The first grabs him, delivering a sound trashing as well, and the other two trees treat him like a pińata at a party for overactive children.
Spoiler: damage (DR not included)12, 14, 10 damage from tree #4. 12, 15 from #5. 9, 10 from #6.

Ward despairs at the savage beating Dornn receives but waits until there is a lull before shouting his word of escape lest Dornn be entangled by another tree. Seeing Valeria grabbed by another tree he sighs. One problem at a time, we need to cut down their numbers.

Re: IC Shadows of Gallowspire
Tree #6 grabs at Dorrn, pulls him in and trashes him soundly (grappled, 13+11+14+10 dam). The other tree passively shuffles off to the side, trying to dodge the thundercloud hovering over it.
Valeria fights off - just barely - the two trees attacking her.
Lethos slips up the last tree under cover from the grim archway, and wounds it grievously. It strikes at him in retaliation, tagging him once, twice, but he has learned their moves now and slips out of the grasping limbs. (11, 12 damage).
The last of the vertigo clears.

Re: IC Shadows of Gallowspire
Dorrn's axe bites deeply in the tree attacking him, but he is still grappled. The fleeing tree is run down by lightning, and sags over with a resounding CRACK. Lethos fells his opponent and looks around for more mayhem.
Spoiler: OOC LethosLethos fells the tree on his first strike, so he can abandon full attack and take a move action. He can slip up to #6 using Dorrn as cover (the trees can AoO even while grappling). If he risks AoO from trees 1 or 2 with their 15' reach:
Spoiler: Tree #1 AoOAttack (1d20+12)[29], damage (1d6+8)[12], grapple (1d20+16)[26], pull 5' (1d20+12)[13]Spoiler: Tree #2 AoO
Attack (1d20+13)[20], damage (1d6+9)[15], grapple (1d20+17)[25], pull 5' (1d20+13)[24]
So how do you think you're doing so far?

Re: IC Shadows of Gallowspire
After finishing his opponent on the first stroke, Lethos draws his bow and launches a flurry of arrows at another tree without breaking stride.Spoileruse the rolls for haste and the 2 iterative attacks from the 'if tree goes down' spoiler in previous post. Quick draw and free action stow don't interrupt his full attack to my understanding
77/96 HP currently (36 damage, mostly shunted into delayed damage pool, then when it empties at the end of his turn it wipes out the 15 THP from berserking sphere for 19 damage net)

Re: IC Shadows of Gallowspire
One of the trees grabs Dorrn (9 damage), the other grabs Valeria, and then they stride doggedly towards Lethos, carrying their prizes along with them.

Re: IC Shadows of Gallowspire
The tree holding Dorrn convulses and smokes as it is struck by lightning again and again, and cracks halfway down the middle, depositing Dorrn on the ground as the side holding him lists over grotesquely. It is truly, profoundly dead.

Re: IC Shadows of Gallowspire
(Given the trees acting, I assume a new round)
Lethos switches to his spear, but goes back to his bow when he sees his ally grabbed by the hostile tree.He slides sideways to get a clean shot, then draws and looses several times, careful not to hit Valeria.Spoilerimmediate action weapon switch to recover focus
