Dungeon Master S's "The Segang Expedition" [STANDARD] (Subtier 1-2) (Inactive)

Game Master Chris Marsh

I've moved you Haska

The venom continues to worm its way through Haska's system, further dulling his senses WIS DMG: 1d2 ⇒ 1. The stab that comes with it fairs no better.

The asuras continue their assault. The one near Jaydavhu and Haska turns on the oread, hoping to inject him too. ATK: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12, but misses the furious warrior. AoOs from both

To the east the asura dashes towards Amun-Heth ATK: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 for DMG: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0 and a FORT save. This draws AoOs from Amun-Heth, Traceni, and Barl. The attack and damage is contingent on it surviving.

Round 2:
Baied: Hit
Jeydavhu: Hit AoO v. Red
Haska: Miss AoO v. Red
Traceni: Magic AoO v. Black
Baddies: ATK
Barl: Go AoO v. Black
Amun-Heth: Go AoO v. Black

AoO: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 + 1 = 15
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Traceni's quick swing just barely misses the creature.

Round 2:
Baied: Hit
Jeydavhu: Hit AoO v. Red
Haska: Miss AoO v. Red
Traceni: Magic
Baddies: ATK
Barl: Go AoO v. Black
Amun-Heth: Go AoO v. Black

Barl swings at the black critter as it goes by.

AoO+bless: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

He grumbles and swings again.

attack+bless: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 = 16
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

"I feel whoosey." "Die you little bugger."

AoO on red with bless: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 5

The Pathfinders struggle to take advantage of the asuras' risky move. Barl's follow up is dead on target. The beast reels from the blow, but doesn't go down.

Round 2:
Baied: Hit
Jeydavhu: Hit AoO v. Red
Haska: Miss
Traceni: Magic
Baddies: ATK
Barl: Hit
Amun-Heth: Go AoO v. Black

AoO on Red:
Greatsword with Bloodrage, Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 for 2d6 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (4, 4) + 7 + 3 = 18 slashing damage.
[SWOOSH! i.e. miss...]

Botting for Amun-Heth

Jeydavhu swings, but this time his swing comes up short a bit, for the target is very small.

He opens by dropping his left elbow towards the creature's neck: ATK: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 for DMG: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Then he followings through, using the ricochet to wind up a cross-hand sword hand strike down to the same target. ATK: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 for DMG: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

The tiny asura's neck snaps! It slumps to the ground, motionless.

Round 3:
Baied: Go
Jeydavhu: Go
Haska: Go
Traceni: Go
Baddies: TBD
Barl: TBD
Amun-Heth: TBD

Traceni moves in to engage the creature.

Attack: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 = 9
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

The creature's tiny stature makes it a hard target, and Traceni misses as she swings.

Amun-Heth FORT 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 Amun-Heth takes DEX DMG: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Round 3:
Baied: Go
Jeydavhu: Go
Haska: Go and FORT
Traceni: Miss
Baddies: TBD
Barl: TBD
Amun-Heth: TBD

Baied knows that she can't help too much in a fight.

But what she can do is to streighten her allies. Moving so she is between Haska and Amun-Het, she asks Abadar to lend his protection to the group

Can't move on the map, sorry. Use my Deflection Aura (Su): Once each day, you can emit a 20-foot aura for a number of rounds equal to your cleric level. Allies within the aura gain a +2 deflection bonus to AC and combat maneuver defense.

Baied does her best to bolster her allies' defenses as the rest of the team close in on the remaining asura.

Round 3:
Baied: Aura
Jeydavhu: Go
Haska: Go and FORT
Traceni: Miss
Baddies: TBD
Barl: TBD
Amun-Heth: TBD

Greatsword with Bloodrage, Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 for 2d6 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4) + 7 + 3 = 16 slashing damage.

Jaydavhu's sword, already bloodied, finally does the grim deed of killing the second evil monster.

The danger is still at hand though, as both Haska and Amun-Heth are suffering from poison.

Amun-Heth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

The monk fights it off not long after the head falls.

Haska still has 1 save to make.

"Does anyone need antitoxin? I have some around here somewhere."

Sorry, busy day today.

fort save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Looks like i missed that one too.

fort save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Thankfully it's damage, so you'll be okay

Haska takes a bit of time to fight off the poison [ooc]taking an additional DEX DMG: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Finally though, everyone can catch their breath. The evil that sent the other party running is now dead at your feet.

Traceni looks around. "You know, they will be back for the rest of this. If they managed such a haul, there must be more later... Can't you smell the scent of greed in the air?"

"Well swung, Jeydahvu!" says Barl with a slap on the back. "Now let's go see what treasures await us!"

He moves further into the room, checking everywhere.

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 probably a few rounds left on my buffs I think

just totaling, i think i take 2 wisdom damage for rounds 1 and 2. Now i take 2 dex for round 3. So 2 and 2. Have i got it correct?

"Poison is a damned nuisance." Haska mutters as he vomits his guts out.

"Well swung, Jeydahvu!" says Barl with a slap on the back. "Now let's go see what treasures await us!"

"I swingeth to the left, swingeth to the right; In two he hast been cleft, finally out of my sight!" says Jeydahvu, chuckling awkwardly...

I have an healer's kit, and some skill in the art, if you need assistance against the poison. I can check and clean your wounds

"That would be most kind of you, good lady." "I think the worst of it is past but it never hurts to be sure. Plus, I never miss a chance at a ladies attention, even if it is for less than steller performance." "My sword never even came close to the fiends." "Remind me to always travel with a dwarf and an Oread."

Haska allows Baied to examine and clean the wound. He will then join in searching the room.

That was a typo on my part ALL ability damage was WIS. Sorry about that.

Baied and Haska perform some triage while Jaydavhu celebrates. Barl begins to look around, which includes the lone part of the chamber you've yet to see.

In the final chamber you find the most interesting of archaeological finds. A large statue of a monkey-faced man sits on a pedestal at the north end of this small shrine. The statue’s arms and legs are missing, and deep scratches have been gouged into its face. Pieces of broken stone, rotting plant matter, and other assorted rubbish lie in heaps on the floor of this room. The smell of rot is particularly strong here.

The statue is wearing items that glow under magical detection (a belt). Within a small cabinet you find a trio of books written in Vudrani

Barl attempts to identify the belt's magical properties and decipher the books.

spellcraft + free inspiration: 1d20 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 7 + (2) = 17
linguistics + free inspiration: 1d20 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (13) + 7 + (5) = 25

Traceni enters the chamber and looks around. Puzzled, she says, "Are you sure? Perhaps I should trade eyes with you. Very well, then."

She looks at the statue and belt with a start. "Oh!" Carefully approaching, she adds, "That's what you're talking about. No, I don't know why it's been desecrated, either. Poor monkey."

Casting detect magic and attempting to identify the belt.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

The belt is a simple matter, it's a Monkey Belt

Barl can parse out enough to determine that the books are holy texts, sacred to the god Ragdya, venerated by vanaras and rural Vudrani in the region of Sikari.

A great find for the Society!

The Baron, awaiting your return outside seems genuinely relieved to see you alive. caught in the moment, he speaks frankly,"Now that I've avenged the friends lost on my last expedition, I shall retire from hunting to write my memoirs...."

You make your way back to the hunting group, and Count Falroun is also happy with your return. It appears you've accomplished more than simply exploring a shrine, your Fame within the Society will surely grow.

The strangest part through is the fauna on your way back. Every step of the way, you catch a monkey out of the corner or your eye. It's almost as if they're watching over you. They seem protective, not menacing, and you've got a good feeling about what you've done.

It seems you've made friends of both the Baron and the Count and in appreciation a letter comes addressed to you. In return for all oyu've done, the Government of Alkenstar will let you test your own versions of some of the equipment used by the Baron on the hunt!

Well done Pathfinders! Your fame grows! This concludes the Segang Expedition. Please let me know if anyone is going slow track. I'll piece together Chronicles later today.

Awesome! Thanks for a great game DM S and everyone. That was a cool scenario. Regular advancement for me.

My pleasure! You guys are always welcome, any time!

Unfortunately the borrowing of the prototype is for the Sovereign Court only. Sorry!

Checking earlier I found the boards down. Thanks for the PM. I will get the chronicle sheet there. I enjoyed this scenario and group. Hope to see you all around on the boards.

Great scenario! thanks for GMing it so well! loved every post! :)
