GM Chyro [PFS] Season 1 run. (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

Carr loses his patience. "Sir, I told you to apologize. You are not listening to me, and it is very irksome. You are very close to offending me, and that I assure you is not something you wish to do. Now, are you going to apologize and remedy this situation or am I going to split you from stem to stern and then burn you to ash? Then stomp on the ashes for good measure, of course. Can't let well enough alone." His face begins to shift but he halts the change, holding his form very carefully. "You would do well to heed my words before this gets extremely unpleasant for you. Bits of your men here, there, and all over the place."

Intimidate!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Carr is apparently very frightening when he actually tries to be.

ting watching the others out the corner of his eye, continues smiling at Nasir, shrugging his shoulders. "Why don't you's shows us tha Statures, so we's can see tha condition they's is in, an then we's'l talk abouts tha quid, wroight."

ting wants to see the merchandise. I figure something will go south here soon.

Belal: "Can it, smartass."

Nasir slowly shakes his head with a sigh, as he briefly shoots a look of 'i need them gone', at Belal.

And you'll see why this fight is such an utter joke, instead of a challenge ^^.

Brallenera doesn't waste time and attacks the man near Ting Guessin" it's Belal?

+1 Axe: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 1 = 22
dmg: 1d10 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

Awww, at least some action

Belal takes an axe to the chest, and still stands...but very barely.

ting drops his foot, as he draws his sword, "You's said it wroight, Mi'Lady." ducking to avoid the blood splatter from Brallenera's attack, "Now 'at's what I's Yappin' 'bout."he then swings at Belal himself.

move action: draws sword, 5 ft. step, Attack: MW Bastard sword: two handed power attack, furious focus

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 for damage: 1d10 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 6 = 22

Ting's attack misses, as Belal ducks aside.

Carr & Joseph
-----
Thugs

Carr invokes the name of his deity, though that is an abstraction and not necessary to the casting of the spell, and blesses his allies. "Beautiful Shelyn, grace my allies with your love that they might perform admirably and crush these heathens underfoot." Even the miniscule dwarven one. The spell beginning effect, he moves forward drawing sword to combat the foes.

Standard for Bless, Move action to enter combat and draw sword.

Ok, botting J/J.

Joseph starts a verse about the ill fate of those who opposed a warlord of old, inspiring the others with some creepy but fitting resolve.
+1 to your rolls people, YEEAAARGHHH!!!

The thugs:
Blue steps up to Ting, and readies an attack, for when his comrade joins him.
Green steps into flank, and blue makes his attack.
Slice, flank: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 2 = 23Dmg, SA: 1d6 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (5) = 8
The sword doesn't go deep, but it draws a mean wound on Ting's flank.
Followed by green's own weapon.
Slice, flank: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8Dmg, SA: 1d6 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 2 + (3) = 8
Green can't hit anything but air, though.

Thugs

Joseph rethinks his action...in a (to Carr) weird voice he chuckles like a maniac.

"Oh, the things we can do to you when we take you captive, before we may turn you over to the guards. Ah-hahahaha!"

Intimidate/freak out: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Which is enough.
Yes, i know your previous attempts heavily outclassed this, but there's a script to follow. ^^

Belal's disturbed, and shaken for 1 round.

'Lordy Joey can be one scary mo fo' Ting smiles his Tengu smile, bringing his wide sword attack arching back around chopping at Belal's legs. "Scary ain't 'e, I's tried ta warn ya's, but you's weren't 'avin' any, wroight."

full attack: two-handed, power attack, furious focus,
attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 for damage: 1d10 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 6 = 20

Belal is fortunate, as that attack would very probably had been his demise.
As is, he steps aside in time to see Ting's blade sweep through air, rather than his legs.

Axe: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 1 = 10
Dmg: 1d10 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

Brallenera is so suprised by SongBird's words that she nearly forgets to attack, and finally does it half heartedly only.

Awww.. What kind of mind does this man.. err..woman..err..human have? Is he really on my side?

Indeed.... (sits in the chair, face hidden in shadow)

Brallenera swings her axe at the thug beside her, or at Belal again?
Given the square west of you is currently at taking up the majority of space, it would be a move action instead of a 5ft step, and would provoke if moving.
Either way, it's a miss.

Belal (-10) continues total defense, and steps aside.

Carr & Joseph

Attack and miss green thug

hey GN Chyro, I just looked at the map, didn't realize ting was that close to a flank, could he take a 5 ft. step back? If not, since I didn't declare it on my turn, I understand ;)

They are low AC pushovers, you'll live. ;)
They are practically 1 hit KO dummies.

They are low AC pushovers, you'll live. ;)

They are practically 1 hit KO dummies.

lol, Ok, just so long as they don't go nuts, cast 'greater darkness' and start talking about experimenting on our dead carcasses ;)

Carr moves to the nearest of the thugs, and just looks at him. "Really? I mean really, this isn't even fair. But you hit the bird-man. So..." Much as he feels very little guilt for most things, this is basically murder in cold blood. He does it however, because it's them or us, and it's not gonna be us.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Carr's attack comes very close to the thug, but not close enough to land a hit.
Joseph(Julia?) glares at green, and smiles.
"Oh, did you evade it? Don't worry, you won't for long... ah-hahahah!"
Sadistic laugh: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Green's shaken for 4 rounds....."Something...something's so wrong about that guy....is he possessed? Cause that just ain't natural... :/
--------------
Blue slashes at Ting again.
Sword, flank: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10Slice, SA: 1d6 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (4) = 10
Green as well.
Sword, flank, shaken: 1d20 + 4 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 2 - 2 = 14Slice, SA: 1d6 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (1) = 5
Both attacks miss him, despite their advantage.

Brallenera presses the attack, cutting through the opposition vs Green thug

Awww... isn't it your arm on the floor? you should be more careful, someone could trip on it and hurt himself...

Rather you're pulling your axe from his chest....

Brallenera brutally cuts down green.

Ting continues swing his sword from low, as Belal jumps over and he ducks and dodges the henchmen's attack, continuing his sword attack high, aiming for Belal's shoulder. "Now quit's jumpin' 'bout's, an' take what's comin' ta ya's, wroight."

full attack: two-handed, power attack, furious focus,
attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 for damage: 1d10 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 6 = 18

...urk...

Ting murders Belal....and practically ends the encounter by doing so, as the thug drops his weapon out of fear.

'It always amazes me how squishy these mammals are.' Ting draws his sword from the still twitching body of Belal, as he bends over to wipe the blade on Belal's shirt he looks up at the other 'tough' smiling his tengu smile, "You's want's ta be leavin' now, wroight?" nodding toward the exit.

Ting then begins to carefully and unceremoniously check the dead Belal for anything of value.

The man slowly goes down to grab his sword, which he straps.
He takes his leave, unless anybody objects.

Belal carries a potion of CLW, a mwk dagger, 150 gp and a potion of sneaking.

Nasir is hurled up behind his desk.
"Here...the statue's here....now please just leave me alone....i'll have the proper amount of money next time...but please just go already!"

"We do not care for your money. We came for this statue, nothing more or less. Be well, Nasir, and in fact be better. Do better deeds, and if you find yourself confronted by would-be 'protectors', ensure their mettle." He dismisses the spell he had created, looking over at Ting Tang. "Well done. So, shall we go see Viraj now?"

Who shall be safekeeping the statue?

I vote for J/J

how big is the statue? could we just bring it along?

Yes, it's about a foot long or so i reckon, the description is vague on that.

If you check the counter, you find Nasir's register/strongbox.
He hands you a statue of a giraffe.

Ok, unless anyone else feels like it, J/J can carry the statue.

The golden Giraffe statuette is 8 inches tall (approx 24 centimeters) and weighs 2 pounds.
It’s an accurate depiction of a giraffe, including carved markings to represent spots, eyes, and so on.
=====================
After wandering about at the Overmarket...you spot the guy!

What Torch said was true—he is unmistakable. Sitting on the rim of a fountain, the man appears to be contemplating the contents of a small intricately carved wooden box.

The many pouches of his flowing, bell-covered robes bulge with various small items, and wands and rods stick out from odd folds.
Under his arm he casually carries an item wrapped in shipping linens but by its shape it is almost surely a statue.

"Well, I think that is Viraj. Shall we walk up nonchalantly, or give him ample time to flee so that we have to track him down jingle-jangling all the while getting tired and less happy?" He 'asks' his companions. Carr considered already enlarging himself so that he can just reach out and grab the man by the head if he tried to run, but that's also not the nicest way to greet someone, being intimidating. He hoped that this encounter could be resolved peaceably.

I like his jingly jangly bells, I should cut one of and sew it to my conical grass hat,' Ting listen to the small bells ringing with admiration. Ting lulls his tongue in a tengu smile as he cocks his head, and stands on one foot. "We's don't want's 'I'm ta runs off, he moight damage 'is floogin' little silver bells, wroight"

Ting drops his foot, resting one talon on the handle of his bastard sword, the other resting on his pouch he walks up to the bell covered man. "Moight you's be Viraj? We's be pathyfinner's. Tha bugger Torch told us we's could find ya 'ear, Wroight." ting nods his head a little, "OY, an' I loikes yer, jingly jangly bells too's"

ting introduces them as pathfinders and compliments the mans bells (He really likes the bells and will consider taking a dozen or so to put on his hat.)

(He really likes the bells and will consider taking a dozen or so to put on his hat.)

And he calls the guard for theft of property.....maybe? :)

Viraj looks warily at Ting.

"Leave me alone, i'm in the middle of something, and it's important."

will the guards be tougher than Belal?

ting shrugs his shoulders,"Well 'en down to's it. We's is 'ear ta make inquiries about a bloody stature sold ta you's by tha now deceased smuggler name o' Matzal Chaim's. We's is come ta collect it back, so's ta speak, wroight."

you purchased a statue, we want it back ;)

City guards...those would be a deal tougher, and greater in number than 3.

Ting would make an awful secret agent, spilling the names of those involved. Viraj looks exceptionally tense.

He takes a wand from his belt, as well as jumping away from the spot he was sitting at.

"Stay back! I bought it, it's mine now.
I am a powerful magician, NOT to be trifled with."

so he just drew a weapon of mass destruction and didn't roll an init.?

'What a lovely jingle jangle, I must get me some of those bells.' ting shrugs his shoulders and draws his sword as he steps closer to the 'powerful magician' "You's drew your's. I drew mine, an' I'm no slouch me'self, wroight. So's is we's throwin' down er is we's still talkin' 'bout tha stature?"

ok, now what
He has an int and cha of 7, of course he would make a terrible spy, but he would make a great mafia enforcer.

He did not draw a weapon, he's not pointing it at you.

he drew a wand, ting sees that as a weapon, ting is not pointing the sword at the 'powerful magician' he's gently resting it on his shoulder ;)

Oh well, any talking will lead to the same thing anyway.
I've got to go to work, we'll get with this in the afternoon.

hey ting didn't start a fight, he is just communicating from a position of strength. the guy did draw a wand! That's like whipping out an uzi!

Posting from a tablet:
---------
People get shot when the cops think 'gun'..and it turns out to be a cellphone or a passport. :)
You're thinking too much into mob movies?

Sorry, things'll be delayed until later tonight. My folks have come over.

Ok, back to where we left off.
Ting, i've placed you as the head of the tetris block, as you said you stepped closer.

Varij becomes wary when someone is coming for 'his' statue.
"It's mine, i bought it."

Arpani chants and moves his fingers in intricate arcane patterns.
His form loses substance and turns to a wispy cloud, but as it does, the bundle under his arm begins to vibrate, crackle, and grow.
His eyes widen as his body resolidifies and the statue bursts out of its wrappings, seemingly absorbing the arcane energy from Viraj’s failed spell.
Linen, strings, and little bells skitter across the pavingstones. On the ground now, the statue continues to grow, taking on the form of writhing, giant centipedes.
And the grow, and grow....to huge proportions!!
The crowd quickly runs away, as do the Merchants.
-----------------

Three huge centipedes look at the party, knocking over stands as they grow to huge size.
And they rolled higher in init. :/

Blue crawls closer around the fountain.
Varij looks nervous. "Stay back, all of you!"

Red takes a bite at the FF Ting.
Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 192d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 4) + 4 = 13
Its bite comes in hard.
Ting, a fort roll 14, or you take 1d6 dex dmg for 6 rounds. With its roundly saves.
Green crawls closer, and bites at him too.
Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 222d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 = 12
Ting, a fort roll 14 against this.
If you passed the previous save, the same effect.
If you failed the previous check, and this one too, the effect of the first roll increases DC & duration by +2, as this poison will worsen if so.
------------
Carr
Brallenera, Joseph & Ting (3/36)

Carr seems to think that those pieces missing from Ting are not healthy for his continued fighting today. He decides that invoking his holy power and rendering aid to the small bird creature would be beneficial to the continued survival of the group and the extermination of the bugs. So he touches the bird, loathe though he be to do so. "That appears as though you'd prefer it hurt less. Here." A moderate amount of healing flows into Ting, then Carr steps up and draws his shield and weapon to face the foes.

Healing: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (5, 3) + 4 = 12

a question on the map, I had posted that ting walked up to the man, I pictured him much closer, as in 5 ft. That's why when Varij jumped back that ting moved closer, you have him 30 ft from ting. That seems very far to have a conversation. Ting was having a conversation until the man drew a wand, if he wasn't close enough to use the sword, he wouldn't have drawn in.

fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
dex dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Ting is shocked to see the caterpillars burst between him and the wand user, getting bitten twice. Quickly ting, bleeding from shoulder and leg, feels the healing that Carr administered, 'Thanks Carr, we's'l see what we's can do's about tha bugs." steps near the middle bug ting slashes at it with the sword.

dex dmg, round 1, AC 16,Attack; bastard sword, power attack, furious focus
attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 for damage: 1d10 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 6 = 15
con. drit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 for damage: 1d10 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 6 = 19

I would imagine you'd prefer not to be isolated. If i'm wrong, then i'll do so next time :P
Plus, seeing the rolls, and a third unseen, it could have been fatal.

And he has to slay my poor bug. ^^
--------------
Ting kills the red centipede, after Carr heals him.
Brallenera & Joseph

Awww, those are big bugs. I don't like bugs.

Axe, on blue centipede: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13
Dmg: 1d10 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11

Brallenera's axe misses the huge centipede. It's armor proves a little too tough for her current atack.

Joseph

I usually give 24 hours, with a stretch on occasion, but with his absence for so long, whoever wants to bot him can do so.
