GM Blood's Age of Worms in Golarion
Game Master David James Olsen

Thanks!

Ok, door didn't budge. So what is plan, seems like two options, either go through the double doors, or take the other mw greataxe and break the barred door down

Break it down with the axe.

"Have we seen any keys on those we've dealt with yet?"

Examining the door, Rauno will ask "Do we want to take the door down, or somehow jam it shut from this side until we've had a chance to check around more? Perhaps another route around will present itself, or keys to readily access through it?"

Does Rauno see a ready way to keep the door from opening if the others opt for that strategy, perhaps jamming something in the hinges or one of the cracks around the door? Knowledge Engineering 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

You would have a hard time jamming any of the doors as they open in to them not out to you. The door is well made and maintained.

"Rauno, they didn't lock it, they barricaded it from their side. Let's see if we can get through it with the axes. Trevor, I'll grab the other one and let's see if we can get through it."

Trevor nods at Kelkzar and lifts his axe, putting all his weight behind each blow.

Three mighty swings and the door is destroyed enough to get through the door. A troglodyte zombie is standing just past where the door used to be with another one behind it. Down at the end of the hall, the two Tieflings have bows out standing by another open door. As soon as the door is hacked down, the tieflings shoot Trevor. Readied action Unfortunately for the tieflings, both shots go wide.

Tieflings attack Trevor

Attack Tiefling #1 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Comp Longbow 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Attack Tiefling #2 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Comp Longbow 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Ro probably isn't really hiding around the corner like that. Say L10?

Ro probably isn't really hiding around the corner like that. Say L10?

I think I just forgot to move her from last time, thanks!

Rauno will delay, waiting to see if the bottleneck is resolved.

Trevor steps forward and engages the zombie in the hallway, hoping to use their bodies as cover from the tieflings' attacks.

With a powerful swing of his axe, he aims for the zombie's collarbone.

No more Bless, right? I have kept the Bull Strength in the calculations.
Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 = 11; 1d12 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 3 = 20

The bull's strength should have 6 more rounds left, and expire at round 7

The fast troglodyte zombie attacks Trevor back

Bite Attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Claw Attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Claw Attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Slam Attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

The bless should last as long as the bull's strength; they're both 1 minute/level, and they were cast on the same round.

"Watch yourself in there Trevor. If they start to hit you, come back and we'll make them come and get us."

Will wait to see what Rauno, Lessien and Rowena want to do.

Come and get us... Why didn't I think of that?!?

Rowena and Quintus are still up

With only two zombies visible and two channels left for the day, Quintus looks to see if Lessien is wounded.

I'll put you as a delay as well (she is at full health). I'll give Rowena a chance and if she delays, I'll just run the battle between Trevor and them until something changes.

I'll give you a contingent action if Rowena's choice doesn't present any new options. I'm also assuming my judgement has lapsed, but if you'll allow me to keep it up, I'll switch it to sacred destruction for +2 to damage.

"Trevor, for now I'm just going to stay back from you and shoot at them. If you want to come back here, I'll probably be able to help more." Kelkzar steps back,to L11 draws an arrow and fires it at the zombie.

Attack (Composite Longbow +2 Str, Bless) 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11
Damage (Composite Longbow +2 Str) 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 +2 damage from judgement if still active

Rowena grabs the longspear from Kelkzar, moves up to M11, and uses an aid another action to improve Trevor's AC by 2 against it's first attack on him.

Aid another: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 3 - 4 = 11

I'm going to apply the AC bonus vs the next Zombie attack

The Tieflings shoot at Trevor

Tiefling #1 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 - 1 = 10 *Miss*
Comp Bow 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Before he takes his shot you see a hand touch the other tiefling and then that tiefling makes an amazing shot

Tiefling #2 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 1 + 20 = 36 *Hit*
Comp Bow 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

That's the kind of damage roll we like to see on a true strike from the GM :-).

Trevor winces as Kelkzar's arrow flies a little close to his ear: "Hey! You said you would shoot at them!?"

As the arrow strikes true: "Just you wait sweetheart!"

"Rowena, thanks! I don't need protection, I need you to occupy them while I slice them!" +2 hit would be better

I don't have soft cover from the two zombies?
PA with Bull Strength and Bless: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 23; 1d12 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 3 = 16

Sorry the -1 was supposed to be -4. I had in my head they have a +1 total to hit after the adjustment and put in the wrong number

Trevor hits the zombie with a solid blow, then the Fast Zombie attacks Trevor back.

Bite 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 *Miss*
Damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Claw #1 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 *Miss*
Damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Claw #2 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 *Hit, no Crit*
Damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Slam 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 *Miss*
Damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Confirm Claw #2 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 *Did not confirm*

Very well. Rowena maneuvers the long spear to hinder its movements.
Aid another: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 3 - 4 = 8

Not successful this time.

With his crossbow ready, Rauno says "Lessien, let me see if I can help Trevor!", indicating he wants to move behind him.

If she makes way for him, he'll move to M11 and fire a bolt at tiefling 1.

To hit 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Damage 1d8 + 0 ⇒ (6) + 0 = 6

Trevor, for a moment, wonders whether this has all been a devious trap to catch him flanked in a corridor: "Stop aiming at me you two!"

Rowena is in M11.

Rauno meant Rowena, I made a map error"

After Kelkzar's actions I'll do the tieflings

In that case, she'll take her step after she fails to tangle up the zombie, and will then delay until after him next round so he can move for her to get back and try again.

Round 2

"Don't worry Trevor. We're professionals. I don't think we'll hit you." Kelkzar calmly takes another shot at the zombie.
Attack (Composite Longbow +2 Str, Bless) 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12
Damage (Composite Longbow +2 Str) 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 +2 damage from judgement if still active

Tieflings in round three

#1 Comp Long bow 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 5 - 4 = 11 *Miss*
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

A hand once again touches the tiefling with different results this time

#2 Comp Long bow 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 4 = 18 *Miss*
Damage 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6

Justin is up!

Trevor, feeling like your average Justin really, keeps hacking at the monstrous undead, surprised by its speed. All the while, he takes a breath to ask healing from the Goddess.

Bless: 4 rounds left.
Swift Lay on hands: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 23; 1d12 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 3 = 20

Travor hacks apart the zombie with a mighty blow. The other zombie steps up and attacks Unless you want a 5' step after your attack Trevor

Zombie #2 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Bite 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Zombie #2 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Claw #1 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Kelkzar is up and Rauno/Rowena shuffle!

I was hoping to avoid a full attack by forcing it to move :)

The only option past a 5' move and allowing it its full attacks would be to move past Rauno exposing him, which I am sure you wouldn't do! ;)

Round 3

"Wow, what a strike Trevor. That was incredible." Kelkzar aims and fires again at the zombie.
Attack (Composite Longbow +2 Str, Bless) 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6
Damage (Composite Longbow +2 Str) 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 +2 damage from judgement if still active

Geez, when do I get another decent roll?

Stepping behind the valiant Trevor, Rauno lines up a shot past the lad at the foes at the end of the corridor.

He'll move to M11 and fire a bolt at tiefling 1.

To hit 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Damage 1d8 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8

In his caution to not hit Trevor, the bolt goes skittering down the hall.

I thought Rauno had already moved in behind Trevor last round. If so, he's stepping aside after his attack this round to allow Rowena in to aid Trevor. If he hasn't stepped in, that means Rowena is still there (but I think Rauno had an attack last round, so this round it's his turn to attack and move).

Rowena attempts another aid another to help Trevor's attack roll.

Aid another: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 3 - 4 = 7 Again not successful. She'll try again next round, then step aside for Rauno to go.

If I don't swap you around on the map, don't worry, you both are swapping places right now and if attacks come I'll figure out who is in that square

You hear a gruff male voice and some casting from beyond the door. The Tieflings shoot again and both miss. They are getting frustrated and a little nervous as Justin hacks through the first zombie and heads to the second. They advance a step up, then a heavily scarred human woman with the Zon Kuthon symbol on her armor steps up and casts a spell.

The bless spell is no longer active

Tiefling attacks:

Comp Longbow1d20 + 5 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 - 4 + 1 = 11
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Comp Longbow1d20 + 5 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 4 + 1 = 16
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

You keep calling me Justin :)

"New gal ahead. Not my type!" But first, let's get this one back to the grave...

Trevor raises his axe and swings it in a wide arc, aiming for the belly of the beast.

PA: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 = 11; 1d12 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 3 = 24

You keep calling me Justin :)

Doh! Sorry. Two games going at once with paladins hacking my precious monsters up.

Round 4

Kelkzar aims and fires at the remaining zombie. "Trevor, you don't need to worry about me hitting you. Of course, I'm not hitting the either!"
Attack (Composite Longbow +2 Str) 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Damage (Composite Longbow +2 Str) 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 +2 damage from judgement if still active

Exhausted and nervous, feeling pointy steel coming from both sides in random patterns that bounce against his scales, Trevor blurts out to his mentor: "Then why are you firing?!?"

Zombie attacks Trevor

Bite 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

Kelkzar grins toothily, "I think I'm distracting them."

Aid another: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 3 - 4 = 4

Then Ro steps aside for Rauno.

Rauno steps in and fires a bolt at the newcomer to the fight, the scarred woman.

To hit 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Damage
2d6 + 0 ⇒ (2, 6) + 0 = 8

Comp Longbow #2 1d20 + 5 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 - 4 + 1 = 3

The woman casts another spell, and a flail made of force appears near Rauno and it attacks him and misses.
