Greetings. Welcome to the first session of /mlpol/'s first running of the classic third edition d&d campaign Red Hand Of Doom.
On this adventure, our heroes, currently three strong, will encounter dozens of trials that will test their strength, cunning, and friendship as they face an army of goblins.
If you'd like to join, there's still room for more in the party. Don't be shy to ask.
Our story begins in Elsir Vale, with our three heroes on the road to the town of Drellin’s Ferry. The three are seasoned adventurers, and exated heroes to boot. Having fought many battles together before, they are confident in their strength. Legend has it of a vast treasure in the Vault of Vraath Keep, hidden deep in the Witchwood; our heroes, have journeyed all this way to seize the vault for their own.
Despite that, they all have their own motivations to travel to Drellin's Ferry:
Sir Whiskers, a cunning and charismatic Tibbet Jester, is travelling to meet up with an old friend of his: Princess Princess Bagel Jennifurr Fluffykinz the fourth. He hasn't met his old friend since he was a kitten, and he's eager to meet with her again. She has arranged to meet up with him in Drellin's Ferry, and to accompany him on his adventure.
Sir Brozal, a mighty Orc Crusader of Pelor, has received a mission from a high-ranking Cleric of his order has received a powerful vision of war descending on Elsir Vale under the banner of a clawed red hand, and has sent Brolaz to the far reaches of Elsir Vale to avert impending disaster... Brozal isn't exactly sure if the vision was real, or if his master just wanted to get rid of him for the year, but he never turns down a good crusade.
Brother Chad, a wise and powerful Druid, has chosen to accompany his companions on their hunt for the lost treasure in the Witchwood. Sir Whiskers requested his aid because Chad is the most experienced woodsman he knows. Chad is wary of this region, for he's heard that it is ruled by a fierce and territorial Druid, but he embarks upon this jouney nonetheless, the secrets of the Witchwood too tempting to ignore.
...So tempting that he seems to have drifted off somewhere with his horse; probably fucking it again or something. Stupid hippie.
And so, let's begin:
>The afternoon sun beats down on you; the air is hot and still. The sparsely settled lands of Elsir Vale are starting to grow monotonous, with a seemingly endless line of dusty flyspecks of towns. The town of Drellin’s Ferry lies a few miles ahead of you. It’s a settlement hard on the borders of the Witchwood, and the best place from which to begin exploring the nearby forest.
This is the part where the players ask obvious questions that I thoughtlessly ignored in the first post, as well as implore about their surroundings.

Okay, Bro burn an action point to attack after he uses Crusader's strike, healing 18 hp and saving himself. One of the hellhounds goes down.
And because I gummed-up the turn order, it's Whiskers's turn now. I'll just decide that the archers didn't want to fire into the melee.

Figuring anywhere's better than here, Whiskers whisks off towards the barn, hoping to find anything that could help either of them in this precarious situation.

The Samurai juggles his blades and strikes twice, one attack hitting for 12 damage.
9 archers fire into the melee, all of them missing like chumps.
Both hounds miss.
Three archers turn around after Whiskers, seemingly alerted by something. They follow the wolf after him, drawing their katanas.
I'm going to let Whiskers roll a hide check right now, with a +8 bonus.

It is Bro's turn
Bro manages to hit the samurai, visibly wounding him, but not dropping him.
Three archers fire down at Bro, one hitting, the damage being reduced to zero by Stone bones.

Sorry guys, this didn't start out as smoothely as I planned.
We'll come back to this encounter tomorrow. Hopefully our caster will have shown up by then, and I'll be a little more prepared.

Okay, here's how it's going to go down.
I know I said at the beginning that I would reset if the two of you died horribly in the first encounter, but I still want to see it until the end. Ultimately, nothing has been spoiled so far except that "You get ambushed by goblins in the woods" Spoiler Alter: It's going to happen a lot
This encounter has artificially high CR because it's meant to be a large source of your XP, since you won't have that many hard battles for a while after this.
You have 8 Action points for this level. Brozal has used three. Whiskers hasn't used any.
Be aware that an action point can be used to refresh all of your maneuvers as a free action, or to initiate an extra maneuver in one round.
Currently, the archers are closing in and making a 9-fold phalanx around Brozal with their longspears, who is currently squaring of against a Hobgoblin Bladebearer, and being flanked by a hellhound. The Bladebearer juggles his ki-charged swords and prepares his stance to finish Brozal himself with his special move (spoiler alert). One of his wounds appears to be closing, healed by a mysterious unseen force. He is completely surrounded as is. Trying to escape would be his death, so he may as well go down fighting.
The g
Brozal, idk when you last read the houserules, but I did give you all, improved Shield Bash, Two-Weapon-Fighting, and Combat Expertise as bonus feats, without having to meet the prerequisites. You could be making shield bash attacks at minimal penalty this whole time, without losing AC (remember, you heal every hit with martial spirit). You could also gain up to 5 AC with Combat Expertise if you take a -5 penalty to your attack rolls.
You also get a +1 bonus to hit creatures with the Fire subtype. I've been factoring it in automatically into your attacks against the hellhounds, and your saving throws against their breath weapons.
Whiskers, since you can't see the grid map right now (my failure as a DM, I'm going to address this next session), I'm going to inform you right now that if you cast Glitterdust on the ring, the radius spread would encompass all of the hobgoblin troops flanking Brozal, the Hellhound, the Bladebearer, one of the wolves flanking Brozal, one of the three hobgoblins that's about to pursue you up the hill, and Brozal himself.
You could also choose to direct fire at the three hobgoblins that are searching for you and the summoned wolf. The hobgoblins haven't found you yet, but the wolf may reveal your location with it's scent if you stay too close to it. The hobgoblins pursuing you have effectively left combat this round as they leave their comrades to pursue the strange cat: they would be flat-footed if you attacked them from concealment (which means iajutsu focus). Be reminded that you have three attacks in your cat form
I will let you roll spellcraft to determine the the caster level of the wolves's summoning, and thus the remaining duration. I should have pointed that out to you this round.
You can use one of your action points to recover a spell slot after you use it as a free action, but you can still only use one action point per round.
If the two of you get through this battle alive without me having to fudge dicerolls or reset the game, I'll give you both ranking affiliation scores in the churches of your deities (that means membership in the Shining Light of Pelor and Bast's Trickery Domain Affiliation), without making you pay for tithes. Consider that bonus treasure, because it's several thousand gold pieces worth of mechanical bonuses and roleplay perks.
If you die, I'll just reset and wait for a complete party.

*The goblin troops appear visibly empowered by the Red Leader's commanding aura, and gobble among-st themselves reveling in their impending victory. Although Brozal can't speak goblinoid, he can vaguely make out that they're bickering about how to split his loot.

Oh good joy.
You're about 300 feet off of the map, basking in the afterglow of a very intimate brushing session with your prized white mare, Misty.
I'm going to roll some dice to see what you hear. I did max out your perception skills.

The kitty feels the chills of uncool crawling up his spine.
Before running a further 45 feet, Whiskers casts Glitterdust on the orc and the entire blob of enemies surrounding him.
(Ugh... can't even remember his name... must be all the tension,) the cat worriedly thought to himself as he ran further towards the sacred barn.

You can move up to 35 feet if you want to cast a spell in the same round (30 ft movement, plus your five foot step).
Since the underbrush provides you cover, you may retreat while sneaking, albeit at only one half your normal speed.
If you wish to move in this fashion, roll Move Silently; if not, roll a caster level check (1d20+6) as you fire your AoE.
I'm not going to penalize you for moving uphill because I don't feel like looking that shit up right now.

Your horse hears some commotion ahead of the curve. She describes it "like a flock of giant turkeys", but you understand that your friends seem to have run into trouble.
Misty, with her 90 ft walking speed (wow!), could be all the way there in one round if she took the run action.
What do you do?
>>134161
The wolf doesn't hear you as you leave the range of its scent, but one of the goblins seems to have heard rustling in the bushes and points towards you. The troops growl, directing the wolf with a pointed finger as they close in towards you with their swords drawn.
Roll that caster level check, btw.

Nice. You successfully beat the Fiendish Wolf's spell resistance.
One Of the goblins pursuing you near the edge of the blast screams in pain as he's blinded, crit-failing the save with his -1 modifier on top of it.
Now let me figure out if I'm supposed to roll all these saves separately or if I roll them as one together. I'm lowkey stalling for Bro and chad to make themselves apparent.

The ball of golden dust hits right in the center of the kill-circle.
A new figure appears behind the samurai guy, he looks a bit like this, only covered in golden spray-paint, with some invisible patches. It seems as though this bad boy has been buffing and healing the warriors this whole time.
He claws at his eyes, apparently blinded by the spell. Most of the marauders do, actually. Everyone but the Samurai.

You appear just in time to see a circle of red-skinned, hairy warriors encircling your friend Brozal, along with a black wolf and another doglike monster. Before your eyes, a flash-bang goes off in the middle of the circle, covering them all in golden dust. Most of them appear to be blinded.
Roll 1d20+2 to make an intellence check concerning these marauders.
The movement was Misty's action. You were already mounted.
You still have an action. What do you do?
You could:
>cast a ranged spell (see >>133933 → )
>Dismount and enter Wildshape (small or medium animals only)
>Give up one of your spells to summon a monster to help
>Shoot a sling bullet

The wolf flanking Brozar is blinded.
Ah, the Hellhound is not actually blinded. It saved heroically.
The warriors all shriek in pain, pointing their spears in random directions, no longer threatening Brolaz. Some step away rubbing at their eyes. The Red Leader Barks at them, to no avail.
The Goblin Priest, now visible, also paws at his eyes. Unable to really do anything else. He utters a prayers and in an instant melds into the crowd, uniform to the rest of the regulars.
I think I'll just roll Brozal's saving throw for him.

You are about 30-40 ft away from the kill-circle, btw.

Brolaz manages to pass his saving throw, but only with Pelor's grace, as he burns another action point to regain a use of Zealous Surge. He barely avoids being blinded.

Call lightning is a 5 foot wide burst. You could normally target only one guy, but I'm going to let you hit too since these guys were close together.
Do you have a particular target in mind?

The wolf growls at Whiskers and finally lunges towards his hiding place, the goblins following him.
The wolf's teeth surge with dark energy as it smites him with it's bite attack, dealing 9 damage.
I already rolled his check modifier to avoid being tripped. He passed.
Whiskers, don't forget you healed 2 HP that last round.

The They on opposite sides of Brozal, so I'll just have you target the priest and the regular next to him.
The lightning hits the priest's mace like a lightning rod. I neglected to mention he was disguised, but you had a decent chance of hitting him anyway.
Regular was already wounded, and is KO'd from the shock.
The priest is visibly damaged, but doesn't drop.
"Raagh! You'll have to do more than that!" he bellows in common, before he downs a potion.
The fire-dog bites at Brozal, but fails to pierce his armor.

Fuck it, I'm just going to have Brozal do a full attack while fighting defensively with full combat expertise.
All of them miss, but his AC is high this turn.
The Red Leader clashes his blades together and taunts Brozal.
"You! You dare fight me?!”
He counters with his own combo, but Brozal manages to block each hit.
Brozal takes the damage from his delayed damage pool. His HP is pretty low now.

Whiskers is currently being attacked by one wold and two goblins. He could step out of their melee range with his 5 ft step if he wants to cast a spell without provoking AoO's
He could also elect to take the retreat action, and move 60 ft uphill.

The blinded regulars scramble ineffectively to return to their previous formation. With a bark from the red leader, they form a haphazard spear wall around the priest the red leader.

With a check like that, you're able to gain concealment in the bushes by the barn, but the Hobgoblins see where you went.
Both wolves vanish in a puff of black smoke.

The Priest takes the total defense action, and casts and Orison.
A shadowy area covers the kill-circle.

And is completely negated by the everburning torches that Brozal strapped to himself...
"REEEEEE stupid Orc! Muh Doom!"

I've been neglecting to mention that Brozal has been suffering from his light sensitivity.
Brozal manages to hit the Bladebearer twice, critically wounding him, but not dropping him. He heals 4 HP with from Martial Spirit.

The Bladebearer takes a 5 ft step back and barks orders at his regulars before taking a potion and moving back towards the priest. The regulars manage to get between Brozal and the Bladebearer, still blinded.
Brozal makes an attack of opportunity at a blinded goblin and drops him. There are regulars left in the road.
The hellhound fires his breath weapon towards Brozal, who manages to save ad only takes 4 damage.
He's at like 15 HP, with 4 points in his delayed damage pool.
Whiskers already declared his turn
>>134184
Chad's turn. You don't have to use all your lightning at once. It'll last 4 minutes (40 rounds). You can cast another spell or summon a monster.
>>134191
Ah
Thick bushes and tall grass spring up all over the road, making the terrain difficult for the already blinded goblins.
Next round, this would be perfect terrain to cast entangle on.
The Bladebearer and the Cleric stand back to back, surrounded by what remains of their kill-circle.
The bladebearer shouts something in goblinoid
"Gobble gobble gobble gobble Tiamat gobble!"
The blinded goblins on the side of the road draws his sword and waddles towards Chad, although not moving very fast.
The goblins pursuing Whiskers give up on him and leave.
They immediately see Chad and fire arrows at him.
One magages to hit him, dealing 9 damage. Another bounces off of Misty's flank, spooking her.
Chad, roll a Ride check. For you that's 1d20+3

With a bark from the Priest, the hellhound leaves the killcircle and charges right towards misty, biting into her leg with its fiery maw.
It would be Bro's turn, but idk where his player is...
He fights defensively and takes a potion. With no non-blind creature threatening him, doesn't provoke AoO. He regains 2 HP, but takes 4 damage from his delayed damage pool. He's at like 11 HP, really fucked-up.

Feeling it's about time to give these now disinterested ranged goblins the spook after the dogs went away as well as his hurt pride in need of mending, Whiskers decide to follow the ranged hobgolbins, preparing the biggest spook (Intimidate) imaginable.

The Effect of the entangle spell is augmented by the thick brush.
All of the hobgoblin regulars are entangled. Unable to move or see, they are visibly distressed.
The Priest is similarly affected, as is the bladebearer.
Thing is, Brozal is caught in the nasty nest as well. He struggles against the angry vines.

Thing is, Brozal is caught in the nasty nest as well. He struggles against the angry vines.

You can sneak up behind them with your movement.
The bladebearer bursts out of the sea of vines, but the Priest remains entangled. Both of them appear to be regaining HP as their spells heal them.

I rolled Chad's ride check because you didn't. He failed his ride check as misky pancicked from the hellhound bite right after he cast his last spell. He falls prone beside her.
Both of the archer goblins fire arrows at him, both hitting and dealing 11 damage. The dog closes in with a bite attack, and sinks his teeth into him.
He's taken 29 damage and is now down below half health. He could die the next round if he doesn't think fast.
Remember, casting a spell in melee range provokes attacks of opportunity from the hellhound. So would standing up in your position.
Misty is not trained to attack, but you can handle her as a free action to push her to do so.
Wildshape would not provoke attacks of opportunity, however.

All of the goblin regulars remain blinded, and entangled. Some of them fall prone.
Brolaz manages to burst free from the vines binding him, but still cant move, sourrounded by Brush and panicking goblins. He regains another 2 HP from his potion.

With a swift lick and a mighty yet silent exhale, Whiskers jumps forth, claws detracted into one of the hobgoblins' faces, using his super cool Iaijutsu focus he saw on theaters.
[1d20+7 = 25]<Melee Attack
[1d20+5 = 21]<Iaijustu Focus
I dunno if this is how it works, so feel free to correct me.

It's technically chad's turn, but I'm going to let you attack, since you still had a standard action left that turn.
Roll damage for your claw attack in cat form
I wouldn't normally consider these guys flat-footed, but I'm going to let you auto-pass a Sleight Of Hand check to do the flick of the wrist trick, at the cost of an action point.
Roll damage for your cat claw attack, plus 3d6 Iajutsu damage.
>>134204
Oh
well, he probably would have failed to stay mounted after that, so I'm going to roll with this.
You regain 8 HP while turning into a bear. I'm going to rule that you're no longer prone.
Would you like to Handle misty to attack this turn? Your modifier would be +10. It's a free action.

I'm going to roll that Misty attacks, because that'll get us through this faster.
She makes a full rounds attack, bearing down on the hellhound with both hooves. With sanctify natural attack and Smite Evil, the doggo didn't stand a chance. Its fiery innards spill out of its ribcage as she crushes it.

A Hobgoblins draws his sword and dagger and attacks Whiskers, both attacks missing him.
Pretty sure the blindness should have worn off by now. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The Bladebearer regains his footing, and spends his turn cutting the priest out of the vines.
The Priest draws a pre-read scroll and shouts a prayer. A Massive Sword of pure darkness forms in the air and bears down on Brozal
... and misses.

Brozal Crit-fails his save and can't do shit this round, vines debuffing him. He does heal 2 HP though.
I will remind Chad that he can still invoke lightning in bear form.

The regulars, still blinded, entangled, and prone, flop about helplessly.
Whisker's turn.

Being the bold kitty that he is and seeing the horrified hobgoblin after seeing his indomitable spirit, Whiskers arches his back on the floor, hissing threateningly at the remaining archer in the hopes to destroying his will to fleeing.
[1d20+16 = 30]<Intimidate Check.

Even with the -8 size penalty, you successfully demoralize the goblins.
That triggers Imperious Command.
The goblins drops his weapons, falls to the ground, and cowers in fear before the "lion".
>>134219
Thanks to the vines holding him down, the priest fails his save against the lightning. Were it not for his potion, he'd be dead by now.

The Bladebearer saves against the vine heroically and slashes straight through the brush at Brozal, slicing through his armor with the emerald razor technique.
Brozal takes a katana to the stomach and would be dying were it not for his delayed damage (thank Pelor).
The Sword of darkness attempts to finish him, but manages to kill goblin regular instead, since the Cleric is still blinded.

Brozal fails his save against the vines and still can't move. Still fighting defensively, he heals 2 HP from his potion.

The regulars are visibly shaken. Unable to see or move as the spiritual weapon picks them off in an attempt to smite Brozal.
"Gobblegobblegobblegobblegobble!"
The Red leader roars in anger

No. Sorry.
You hit the priest, but not hard enough to drop him. He's sizzling, on his last leg.

That can't work twice in a row, sorry. You'll need to wait a couple rounds.

I'm not going to count the penalty when you're up against Blinded enemies.
The goblins hear the roar of a manticore, and are all sent cowering, including the Red Leader who wasn't facing you.
The red leader takes damage from lightning, but doesn't drop yet.
The spiritual weapon stands srill as the Cleric cowers
....
everybody cowers... and
Brozal, heroically bursts out of the vines this round.
He finishes the Red Leader with a Coup-de-grace, just in time to do it without provoking AoO, as the blindness wears off this round.
With Revitalizing strike and Martial Spirit, he just barely manages to avoid passing out, with 3 HP left.
Some of the regulars have left the kill-circle trying to escape, but dropped prone at the sound of the roar.
Whisker's turn again. All of the enemies are shaken, dead, prone, and/or disarmed. the Priest still lives though.

With a mighty charge, the cat lunges at the Priest, biting him on the arm in order to maybe incapacitate him for good.
[1d20+9 = 19]<CHAAAAAAAARGE Bite Attack

I'm here now. What can I attack?
>>134243
Okay I'll attack the cleric with revitalizing strike, and then I'll burn an action point to hit him again with crusader's strike.
