Drifts of the Shalm
(Player's Handbook II)

Evocation
Level: Druid 2,
Components: V, S,
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Area: One 5-ft. square/level (S)
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No

You call upon the power of Obad-Hai and conjure forth a great drift of snow, leaves, or smoldering ash.
Druids of Obad-Hai routinely evoke the drifts of their lord to delay their enemies, to buy themselves time in the face of a sudden threat, and simply to decorate their groves.
You create drifts of snow, leaves, or ash 3 feet thick.
It costs 2 squares of movement to enter a drift-covered square.
Additional effects apply based on the type of drift.
A snow drift ripples with freezing energy.
Anyone moving through or located in a snow drift takes 3 points of cold damage each round.
If any part of a leaf drift comes in contact with fire (anything from a torch to a fireball will do), the whole drift instantly ignites.
The heat from the burning leaves deals 2d6 points of fire damage to anyone in the inferno.
An ash drift smolders with dying embers.
Anyone moving through or located in an ash drift takes 3 points of fire damage each round.

5 (5') squares, one where troll stands, 4 around him I guess, not where the party stands though


Edit. Use Drift of Leaves

[finaldooms]

R4? Orth moves up to beside robina ( below the troll)
so...I really dont want to climb up there...mind if I snag a few alchemist fire?
( orth asks if he can take a few and if so uses his remaining move action to take a from robina)

If robina says no he grumbles and uses his move action to start climbing ( idr if you put a DC to climb..orth has a +12 to climb though)
Edit after robina reply
Move action put sword up
I keep forgetting about those..

[wilphe]

Robina watches as Bertie's Drifts of Leaves make contact with the alchemists fire on the burning troll and become a sheet of flame. It's an unpleasant mix of smells, the leaves smell like an autumn bonfire - the sort of thing one might swap tales and liquor around of an evening, but the Alchemists Fire adds a vaguely chemical and unnatural note - like cooking on a grill before the lighter fluid has burnt off - whilst the troll itself adds overpowering notes of burning flesh and rubber.

I don't think we need more fire damage, try a javelin.

Though I don't think it's going to stay up there

[JonMarker2]

What I am trying to do is keep the troll up there and pin him with sword and not let him use the easy paths down. Sorry for not rping this point, but I didn't think it was coming through properly.

[DwarvenWarCorgi]

Stephen again (not sure what trolls CL is, how many rnds entangle lasts) dc20 str (1d20+2)[3]



Bertie tosses a thunderstone in the square next to the troll. Ac5 for the square, range increment 20' (3d20)[6][19][17](42)+5

:Thunderstone

Assuming it hits, troll gets a dc15 fort or he's deaf for an hour, details in link

[wilphe]

I think you are skipping ahead there

[DwarvenWarCorgi]

I know I'm bottom of the order. My schedules been so sporadic, just trying to post once a round

[CNFish]

Ok. So r4 summary. Robina lobs alchemists fire, oorth moves closer to robina. Jon decides to close the gap between himself and the troll and climb up after it. (Jon is now up on the cliff facing, the rest of the party is not.) The troll sees jon and rushes to take on the bold challenger who would climb after it and chuck's a javelin at jon. Bertie then brings forth a spell to surround the troll in leaves. (Which I'll go ahead and roll damage for the flames (2d6)[6]) as the flames engulf the troll.

R5:

I'll wait for the party before posting the trolls actions.

Ok so we are r5 now?

Orth makes sure he is within 30ft and chucks a javelin ( pulling it out as part of my move action) at the troll

Damage is (1d6+5)[11] x2 on a 20 crit

[JonMarker2]

Did the troll hit AC 18? I know he threw the javelin, but I am having a hard time finding the Thac0 attack.


For R5
Keeping pressure on the troll and continue to close the gap. 2nd climb check: (1d20)[19] +3

If I am in a position to strike at the troll's feet or footing and if in a climb I myself am not considered a medium load, Then I would like to try the Insightful Strike and at least get the troll off his footing.

Spoiler: insightful strike

Show

(Ex): At 3rd level, a swashbuckler becomes able to place her finesse attacks where they deal greater damage. She applies her Intelligence bonus (if any) as a bonus on damage rolls (in addition to any Strength bonus she may have) with any light weapon, as well as any other weapon that can be used with Weapon Finesse, such as a rapier, whip, or spiked chain. Targets immune to sneak attacks or critical hits are immune to the swashbuckler's insightful strike. A swashbuckler cannot use this ability when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load.

Thac0: (3d20)[16][2][13](31) +5 DMG: (1d6)[4] +2 +1 int

Did the troll hit AC 18? I know he threw the javelin, but I am having a hard time finding the Thac0 attack.

Nope he missed

(3d20)[5][2][9](16)+10

[CNFish]

Troll takes another (1d6)[1] for alchemist fire. It emerges from the flames holding a battle axe, (dropped his javelin free action pulled, battleaxe.) And moves to attack Jon. Putting it 5' infront of Jon.

(3d20)[15][12][19](46)+17
(2d8+6)[14] x3 crit

[CNFish]

R5 summary:

Robina shoots an arrow and misses, oorth throws a javelin after moving and misses, Jon attacks and hits the troll in the leg. The troll moves to attack Jon. (Which I just realized he didn't have to...) and deals damage to Jon. Bertie tosses a thunderstone at the troll (fort save: (1d20+15)[34])

Jon also needs a fort save, for being close to the troll.

R6: go!

You thrust one arm forward toward your foe, palm open and fingers splayed.
The creature reels as an invisible surge of power invades its mind.
You launch a magical assault that wears at the target's mind, dealing 1d6 points of nonlethal damage if it fails its saving throw.
For every two caster levels beyond 1st, you deal an extra 1d6 points of nonlethal damage to the subject, to a maximum of 5d6 at 9th level.

Is my keen sword still in the troll at the moment?

either way, pull the brute with me down now with 5 ft step.

[CNFish]

Jon if you want to pull the troll over the cliff with you, you'll need to make a grapple check first. Also your sword isnt stuck in the creature. Insightful strike doesnt work that way.

[wilphe]

How badly hurt is the troll right now?

[JonMarker2]

https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Grapple
Okay, Grapple Check: (1d20)[3] +3 base attack +1 strength.
(reflex if needed: (1d20)[5] + 2 base no dex)

the Troll gets an opposed check, and if failed gets an opportunity attack.

I think I got him!

DM wants to know if you are changing your action for r5 from stab with sword to attempt to grapple...if you are..you need to make a melee touch attack as well

Per the DM ..the troll is starting to look very injured from down where the majority of the party is at

[JonMarker2]

Just save it for round 6 if it is a melee attack, because I can't move and I need to MOVE NOW or get crisped in round 5

there for R6
Thac0 Touch: (1d20)[12] +3 base +1 Str

[wilphe]

You will be eating an AOO from the troll, and attempting to wrestle something that's bigger and stronger than you...

[CNFish]

Troll will save (1d20+8)[10] and AOO on jon with battleaxe (3d20)[14][19][17](50)+17, damage (2d6+8)[16], if missed opposed grapple check (1d20+21)[22]

We have Troll and Bertie to act

[DwarvenWarCorgi]

No wounds, Stephen and Bertie. Stephen's entangled, unless the duration of the spell ended.

Str DC 20 (1d20+2)[13] to break free. Move up to join Bertie if he can

Bertie will taunt the troll in giant (I dont recall if he made /failed the thunderstorms save and is deaf)
I knew trolls smell bad, but I'm crying from here
Sling bullet (3d20)[11][6][14](31)+5 (1d3)[3] 20x2 bludgeoning

[JonMarker2]

(the grapple would have been round 7, not 6, didn't think. I'm pleased with the actions and obvious results.)

Anyways round 8 R8:

https://giphy.com/gifs/funny-movie-film-ly4v8dbjEg6gE
Disengage from grapple (opposed needed or not?: (1d20)[15] +3 +1), 5 foot step to remove 2nd aoo, then jack sparrow the heck to the nearest readied arms of my colleagues.

[finaldooms]

R8 right?

Orth pu...
Crap I've been forgetting the -4 for jon being next to it

....orth pulls out another javalin feeling pretty confident since he has mysteriously been hitting
I can do this all day..well untill I run out

(3d20)[2][13][10](25)+1
(1d6+5)[8] x2 if a 20 crit

and...spoke to soon as the javalin goes flying away

[CNFish]

Ok. So everyone needs to slow up. We are still only on r6 lol. Jon you need to be more concise with your actions you said in r6 you wanted to pull the brute down the cliff. Finaldooms asked if you were changing your round action and if you were you needed to make a melee touch. To which you did. And then you back tracked and said otherwise that it was supposed to be your r7 action instead. Be more precise with your wording and dont get ahead of yourself.

The troll apparently doesnt engage with jon in grapple of r6...

So the troll makes a simple attack on jon (we will use the AOO that I rolled earlier for this.)

[CNFish]

Bertie: entangle would last 10 rounds. Also it seems the troll is ignoring your attempts to get its attention with jon infront of him

So r6 summary:
Robina and oorth manage to land an attack on the troll, with robina attempting a mind attack, and oorth with a javelin. Jon unfortunately does not land his attack, and neither does Bertie. The troll continues to attack jon its closest target.

We are now R7: (finaldooms you can use that "R8 action for this round if you want.) Jon if you are going to engage in grapple only engage in grapple... do not make other actions....
