GM Tektite's PFS First Steps I (Inactive)

Game Master Hawkwen Agricola

Jules readies herself and waits to see what happens.

Chandler enchants his quiver and readies for trouble.

Torsk also readies for trouble, casting a spell of shielding.

The party hears a low whistle come form the fog, then a grunt as a halfing with a handlebar mustache comes hurtling out of the cloud, bellowing! He heads straight for Braxton!

Charge Attack vs Braxton FF: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 20
Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7

The halfling leaps in the air and brings his greataxe down, nearly cleaving off Braxton's arm!

The party hears some chanting and sees the form of the other man creep otu of the fog a bit.

Braxton!

spell: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Surprised and heavily wounded by the halfling, Braxton lashes back with shield and sap.

Shield Bash: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Sap: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Sap Non-lethal damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Intimidate from Enforcer: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 4 = 14 (bonus from being larger size than target)

I guess when you take a massive cut from a greataxe and respond with a dink from a sap, you just aren't that scary. Still might be enough though.

Turk brought up a good point to me. The halfling couldn't have charge out of the fog, as he did not have line of sight. Unfortunately, he still would have hit Braxton's FF AC.

Braxton reels from the halfling's blow, then returns the attack, hitting the halfling with his sap and shaking up the little man a little bit!

A woman in the fog cackles madly and you hear movement, but see nothing.

Turk, Jules, Chandler, and Torsk!

Jules attempts to flip pass this creature to attack from behind.
acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
damage: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + (5) = 10<<sneak attack 1d6
Still dizy from the flip Jules misses badly

the "small Jules is where she started, if she failed her acrobatics check please move her back there, otherwise I took the liberty to move her to her new spot

Torsk, will assess the situation, wondering what is going on in the mist
but understands that going in blind could be a very bad idea. He chants some arcane words, and points his palm at the halfling. After mere seconds, the moisture in the air coalesces in his palm, and then streaks forward toward the intended target. Torsk's aim is off however, trying to correct for the small target using his his friends for cover. The ball shatters off the wall, spraying the garbage with water crystals.

ray frost vs ranged touch: 1d202 ⇒ 81d3 ⇒ 2

Turk cuts at the halfling with the axe, hoping to take him down. Focus fire. One at a time. he recommends.

Sword: 1d20 ⇒ 201d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Confirm: 1d20 ⇒ 11d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

He will step back to where the small Jules is if that spot is open.

[dice=ray frost vs ranged touch]1d202; 1d3

Not sure if it matters, but you rolled a d202, instead of a d20 for that attack roll. Of course, if all you got was an 8 on a d202, then your d20 probably would have missed! :)

will re-roll ray of frost...otherwise it can stand as rolled, DM call :)

ray frost vs flat ac: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -11d3 ⇒ 2

is it possible to hit myself with it lol

Jules tumbles pasts the halfling, but then misses on her backstroke!

Turk then chops the little barbarian, giving him a nasty wound!

Torsk fires a frezze ray, but it goes wide!

Chandler!

Swift Action: Archaeologist's Luck
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 = 21

Chandler notices the man emerging from the fog cast a divine spell and wants to at least distract him, but he can't find a clear shot and instead helps his allies with the halfling.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 2 - 4 = 15 Probably a miss... but at least all this soft cover isn't cumulative.
Shortbow Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

The little guy charged and may be raging. That is a total of -4 to AC, but you are also firing into melee...

Yeah, I already took the -4. I guess the cover just negates his raging charge so it might hit.

I believe it is my turn again.
Jules will strike at the villain again.

rapier: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 4 - 2 = 22<<-2 for duel attack
damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 2) + 2 = 9<<+1d6 for sneak attack

Short Sword: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 4 - 2 = 12<<-2 for duel attack
damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 6) + 2 = 14<<+1d6 for sneak attack

Not yet, Jules. But we can save those rolls, including the unconfirmed crit....

Chandler fires his bow, just managing to hit the halfling. The arrow sinks deep and the little man goes down!

Attack vs Jules: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 2 - 4 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

The other man attacks Jules from behind the corner of the building! He blade just misses Jules as he reaches out.

Attack vs Jules: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 65

One of the women steps to the edge of the mist and stabs Jules with a shortsword!

Braxton!

"Jules, get out of there!" Braxton calls out. He delays, waiting for Jules to back up.

Once she does, Braxton steps up and swings his sap at the woman in the mists.

Sap attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 37
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 Non-lethal
Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

If that hits, she's (presumably) shaken for 9 rounds.

Jules quickly moves behind Braxton

So are you moving, withdrawing, attacking and moving, attacking and 5' stepping back, or attacking and tumbling back behind Braxton? So many choices. :)

You are correct I forgot my acrobatics roll, sorry
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Jules makes a nice flip over Braxten's head as she moves out of the way.

Er, I listed 5 choices. Which are you doing? Shame to let that crit threat go to waste. But if you are attacking and then tumbling, I think you need to also roll to confirm the threat.

Making her full attack and taking a 5-foot step back is all Braxton would need. There's room where the halfling went down.

Ifit is allowed I will attack then take a 5 ft step
confirm crit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
damage just in case: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Braxton delays, waiting for Jules to move.

A slight breeze funnels down the alley, blowing the mist back a bit.

Once again, you hear a mad cackle from within the mist, but still cannot see the woman.

Jules attacks the woman in front of her, stabbing her, but just missing wounding her more deeply! Jules then steps back and disengages from the woman.

Braxton steps in and tries to sap the woman, but misses!

Turk, Chandler, and Torsk are up!

Seeing that drawing out the combat seems to be to their advantage Turk casts Cure Light Wounds on Jules. I got you lass. He says quietly. Now get back in there and get behind them. We want none to get away.

1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Torsk will once again condense the water in the air to use as a projectile weapon at their foes.

attacking blondie straight ahead

vs touch ac with -melee/cover?: 1d20 + 2 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 - 4 - 2 = 141d3 ⇒ 1

Chandler fires off another arrow at the newly emerged enemy, but can't seem to get a clear shot.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 - 4 = 5
Shortbow Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Jules attempts to move over Braxton and the strange women to get behind her once again.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Skillfully flipping past her once again Jules attacks.

rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

But sadly slips on the pavement and misses.

Braxton swings with both arms at the woman between himself and Jules.

Shield bash: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 = 12

Sap: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8

the "rooftop" next to blondie, is there ally below so I can move up or are we bottke necked like the map suggests?

I now see what you are taking about Torsk and am not sure myself. I was thinking you could walk through there, but I may be wrong.

the "rooftop" next to blondie, is there ally below so I can move up or are we bottke necked like the map suggests?

No, you bottlenecked. Sorry.

Another shot at the woman.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 - 4 = 7
Shortbow Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Torsk, curses slightly at the lack of maneuverability of their current situation. He lobs another ball of ice at the blonde woman.

1d20 + 2 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 - 4 - 2 = -31d3 ⇒ 1

Jules darts past the woman, but then misses on her backswing!

Braxton tries to bash the woman with his shield, but misses.

Chandler fires an arrow, but misses!

Torsk fires a frosty ray, but misses!

Turk!

What about Deandre and Hallia?

Jules attempts to strike again.
rapier: 1d20 + 4 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 - 2 = 6<<+2 for flank, -2 for two weapon fighting
damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 2 + (5) = 13 << 1d6 for sneak attack

damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (1) = 6 << 1d6 for sneak attack

What about Deandre and Hallia?

The bads went, then it was Turk followed by the rest of the party.

Turk casts Bless for the benefit of the party.

+1 to Hit, +1 Vs fear.

Turk blesses the party!

Attack vs Jules: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

With a swift bash, Braxton knocks the woman out!

The red-haired woman steps to the south.

Concentration DC 17: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

The woman tries to cast a spell, but curses as she loses it!

Everyone, but Braxton is up!

@Jules: Which one are you going to use the attack rolls on?

The spell caster.
Jules moves to the north of the spellcaster and attacks.
Taking a five foot diagonal step northeast

rapier: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 - 2 = 6 << minus 2 for two handed attack

shortsword: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 - 2 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

If his first attack took out the woman, he would 5-foot step over her downed form and direct his sap at the man around the corner.

Turk steps up and gives his blessing of War to Braxton.

Torsk, will move up 5 feet and for another ray of frost at the man hiding behind the wall.

Ray frost: 1d20 + 2 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 - 4 - 2 = 141d3 ⇒ 1

Shortbow Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Le sigh...

Just saw where you moved to on the map. If you shoot from where you are on the map you will provoke from the rogue to your north. He is one of theirs, not one of ours.
