GMTrex's PFS [Normal Mode] 3-03 Ghenett Manor Gauntlet (Inactive)

Game Master Andrew Trexler

Schadenfreude burns in a reinvigorated Kali's eyes as she looks at the fallen Pothes.

That guy's dead, right? That means my Soul-Drinker trait can come into play! I get temporary hit points equal to his hit dice for the next minute (or possibly 5 minutes).

Also, don't forget that Shem is still taking bleed damage from me....

2 rounds of bleed damage: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4

She then resumes her onslaught - that alchemist has proven himself worthy of a proper Kuthite christening!

Punishing Kick: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
Boot to the Head: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Belier's Bite: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Make a DC 17 Fortitude save or fall prone, Lorenzo!

Also, *oops* - subtract 2 from that attack roll; I didn't realize I couldn't charge him (at least not if he's who I think he is).

Reflex Saving Throw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Round IV

Skybek looks across at his wounded friend, Quarr, and repeats his channel energy further enhancing the smell of this chamber into one of a brewery.

Channel Energy: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 4) = 8

"Cayden Cailean, dae yae hae something stronger than pale ale? We can use some stout richt aboot noo!"

The dwarf then runs out with axe in hand ready to enter the battle!

It looks like you're a bit distant from Quarr - I'd move 20 feet downward, which benefits the rest of us to boot.

Khakil should be 2E of where he is. I'll fix it when I get home.

Cott has a deep appreciation for Kali's demonstrated brutality, and joins her in attacking Lorenzo. He circles around to flank the alchemist with her and, still following her lead, also aims a kick at the man, doing his best to disembowel him with a razor edged talon.

Talon: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7

-Posted with Wayfinder

Stabilization DC 10: 1d20 + 1 - 6 ⇒ (6) + 1 - 6 = 1

Quarr continues to bleed on the ground.

Placing me at -7 hp with the bleed unless Skybek's channel heals me then I am at +1 hp

@ Skybek: I think that was your last channel, no? I count six used in the thread search.

@ Kali: it was Pothes that took the bleed damage, and he's the dead one (killed by Cott). You gain 4 temporary hit points. Shem is in the process of 1d20 + 2 - 9 ⇒ (5) + 2 - 9 = -2 dying over in the corner.

@ Quarr: Skybek's channel hits you, and you are awake.

Skybek provides some more healing and Quarr slowly opens his eyes, dumping a restorative into his thirsty mouth. Kali and Cott try to knock some sense into the nearby alchemist Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 but only succeed making him a bit bloodier.

Besai moves into the room and casts yet another spell on himself.

Lorenzo stays calm and stabs dino-Cott in the shoulder with his shortsword before putting his back to the statue in the center of the room. Even in his animal-mind, Cott notices the poison creeping into the wound...

Shortsword @ Cott: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 = 23 HIT Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 plus a Fort save!

Round IV - bold may act!
1. Shem (52dmg, unconscious, bleeding out), Livilla (7dmg, 4 images)
2. Kali ([38]/34hp), Skybek (40/57hp), Quarr (10/39hp, unconscious, bleeding out), Cott (30/49hp, poisoned, Jenny unstable), Besai
3. Lorenzo (23dmg, bleeding)
4. Khakil

I recounted and you are correct. Nice catch, Trex! You are good!"

@DM: You might want to adjust your records on Quarr.

Quarr stands up and hurls a bomb back at the alchemist.

Fire Bomb Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 1 + 2 - 4 = 26
damage: 3d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 3, 4) + 4 + 1 = 15

Precise Bomb to not target 4 friendlies
Point Blank Shot
DC 17 reflex save for Splash Damage

@ Skybek: just seemed like you'd been pumping 'em out :)
@ Kali: yes, thanks! Adjusted HP but not conditions.
@ Quarr: not your turn yet but I'll hang on to that for next round.

Fluff correction: Quarr slowly opens his eyes, dumping a restorative into his thirsty mouth pulling out a healstick and poking himself with it.

Round IV - bold may act!
1. Shem (52dmg, unconscious, bleeding out), Livilla (7dmg, 4 images)
2. Kali ([38]/34hp), Skybek (40/57hp), Quarr (10/39hp), Cott (30/49hp, poisoned, Jenny unstable), Besai
3. Lorenzo (23dmg, bleeding)
4. Khakil

Khakil's voices continues to boom over the commotion as his inspiration holds strong:

"We'll forge a new trail,
To the end of the tale,
Spreading stories and knowledge to all."

He advances 5ft south, joining Kali's side.

Being the stubborn bard that he is, Khakil tries to seduce Lorenzo again with another cast of Unnatural Lust (dc16), this time focusing the target as Besai.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Can't move him atm, but he should be threatening Lorenzo now.

What were you thinking, you fools?! Making a perfectly straight line for me? Alright, here's another lightning bolt for you...

Will: 1d20 + 0 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 0 + 2 = 20 SUCCESS
1d20 + 2 - 10 ⇒ (12) + 2 - 10 = 4

Lorenzo is unmoved by Besai's mismatched mustachios! Many-formed Livilla licks her lips, relishing the prime target her foes have presented for her. She conjures a jet of lightning that illuminates the skeletons of Skybek, Khakil, Kali, and Cott! In the next room, where Jenny roils in contusions of madness, several shelves and bookshelves catch fire from the bolt as it punctures the wall--not that the insane dinosaur has any hope of noticing.

Failure Chance, High is Success: 1d100 ⇒ 63 SUCCESS
Electricity Damage: 7d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 5, 3, 2, 4, 2) = 23 ...DC 19 Reflex save to halve

Quarr hurls a bomb at the alchemist, striking him in the head. The fire is too much for him to take and he too passes out--leaving just one foe behind.

Round IV - bold may act!
1. Shem (53dmg, unconscious, bleeding out), Livilla (7dmg, 4 images)
2. Kali (15[27]/34hp), Skybek (17[29]/57hp), Quarr (10/39hp), Cott (7[19]/49hp, poisoned, Jenny unstable), Besai
3. Lorenzo (38dmg, bleeding, unconscious)
4. Khakil (15[27]/38hp)

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Khakil seems like hell get caught right in the blast as he slips when it comes at him, but a last spout of bravery from his earlier Battle Cry helps him regain resolve and find his footing just in time to dodge the worst of the attack.

Everyone gets at least one reroll, don't forget.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Don't blame me; I got here first.

Lorenzo's bleed damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Reflex save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
reroll: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Kali takes the agonizing blast in stride, and her eyes radiate malice as she turns on this final, worthy adversary.

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Belier's bite: 1d4 ⇒ 3

I'm assuming we're still getting the Bardic Music benefits.

That is correct.

Miss Chance, Higher is Hit: 1d100 ⇒ 21 MISS

Kali's strike is solid but the snap of the kick finds only air, as her target blinks temporarily out of existence. Lorenzo continues to bleed out on the floor, though he isn't dead yet.

Round IV - bold may act!
1. Shem (53dmg, unconscious, bleeding out), Livilla (7dmg, 4 images)
2. Kali (15/34hp), Skybek (17[29]/57hp), Quarr (10/39hp), Cott (7[19]/49hp, poisoned, Jenny unstable), Besai
3. Lorenzo (42dmg, bleeding, unconscious)
4. Khakil (27/38hp)

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Use Battle Cry reroll
Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

While Cott struggles to fight off the poison from Lorenzo's sword, he's zapped viciously by the crackling bolt of energy from the caster across the courtyard. Deciding that miss mage could use a taste of her own medicine, he conjures a roiling ball of flame on top of her It's 5x5, and thus occupies a full square and it only interacts with physical objects, so I'm hoping it should hit whichever is the real woman, reguardless of images. If that's wrong, I'll let you roll the hit chance for it or randomly pick which image it is conjured onto if they're not actually sharing a single space

Fire Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 5) = 11
Reflex 15 negates

-Posted with Wayfinder

He then retreats back into the building, hoping to avoid any future smiting from her.

-Posted with Wayfinder

The images are all in her square, so that won't matter. The blinkiness will though:

Miss Chance, Higher is Hit: 1d100 ⇒ 71 HIT
Reflex: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 = 17 SUCCESS

Livilla smiles wickedly and leans away from the sphere, ignoring any residual heat completely.

Khakil can act too since Lorenzo's down.

Round IV - bold may act!
1. Shem (53dmg, unconscious, bleeding out), Livilla (7dmg, 4 images)
2. Kali (15/34hp), Skybek (17[29]/57hp), Quarr (10/39hp), Cott (7/49hp, Jenny unstable), Besai
3. Lorenzo (42dmg, bleeding, unconscious)
4. Khakil (27/38hp)

Instantaneous spell during Kali's turn:
As soon as he sees Kali about to get walloped by the lightning, Khakil finishes his song with a enchanted lyric as a Saving Finale!

"Err-and make all of our enemies bawl!"

One more reroll for you, Kali. Inspire will last for two more rounds still with Lingering performance.

Reflex Saving Throw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Round 4

Skybek moves over to Cott and spontaneously casts Cure Moderate Wounds on him.

Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (6, 4) + 6 = 16

"We still need yer help mae friend. Let's tak doon this spell casting tyrant!"

Cott ran somewhere in the other room, so Skybek would have to follow him there... Cott/Khakil/others on mobile, can you please let me know where you end up? It matters quite a bit tactically.

Kali's second reroll before I post Besai/Livilla's actions.

W W W W N N N N

-Posted with Wayfinder

Don't mind if I do:

rereroll: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Shucks.

Skybek is not going to run that far. Instead, he will cast Cure Moderate Wounds on Kali.

Don't mind if you do:

cure moderate wounds: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (4, 7) + 6 = 17

@ Skybek: running to Cott would actually be easier now than originally, since Cott moved partially in your direction. I'll go with you healing Kali though, unless I hear otherwise. (I'll use Skybek's original roll rather than Kali's).

@ Khakil: please place your marker (or tell me) where you'd like to be. It will matter for Besai's next action. :)

*Ominous gloom*

Round IV - bold may act!
1. Shem (53dmg, unconscious, bleeding out), Livilla (7dmg, 4 images)
2. Kali (31/34hp), Skybek (17/57hp), Quarr (10/39hp), Cott (7/49hp, Jenny unstable), Besai
3. Lorenzo (42dmg, bleeding, unconscious)
4. Khakil (27/38hp)

Khalil went SW SW W NW. I moved him.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Aye, what Cott said. He's where I intended now.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Let Skybek stick with healing Kali if that is acceptable. Thanks!

I missed that he'd already rolled for that spell - also, um...you appear to have thrown the universe into stasis. None of us are bold enough to act.

I think he was waiting to find out how our turns all ended definitively so that he'd know how to deal with Besai's action.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Lol, my brain completely skipped over that part of your post. My bad.

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 = 25 SUCCESS

The enemy mage does not fall prey to Khakil's tricks!

Moving up behind the cluster of fellow Pathfinders, Besai takes note of Skybek's healing power--keeping the party alive--and does what he can to ensure that Skybek can get to him. Not without grumbling, of course. "Stupid dwarves and their short legs!" Nevertheless, Skybek feels quicker than ever before. He cast expeditious retreat on you.

Shem bleeds some more into the dirt. 1d20 + 2 - 11 ⇒ (7) + 2 - 11 = -2

Livilla grin grows grimmer and more sinister, as she relishes an approaching victory. She makes two startlingly quick strides away from the group. Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 + 1 = 13 This action provokes from Kali and Khakil.

She conjures a gout of flame the bathes Skybek, Kali, and Khakil in unhappy heat (she avoids Besai for fear of damaging the book). "Burn, Pathfinder scum!"

Failure Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 25 SUCCESS
Fire Damage: 5d4 + 7 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 1, 4) + 7 = 22 (DC 17 Reflex for half)

Full party is up! It's actually Round VI, I forgot to increase the marker last time. Now's for some good rolls!

Round VI - bold may act!
1. Shem (54dmg, unconscious, bleeding out), Livilla (7dmg, 4 images)
2. Kali (9[20]/34hp), Skybek (-5[6]/57hp), Quarr (10/39hp), Cott (7/49hp, Jenny unstable), Besai
3. Lorenzo (42dmg, bleeding, unconscious)
4. Khakil (5[16]/38hp)

Note: since there's only one enemy left, this goes for everybody -- please add a miss chance (d100) to all attack rolls, as well as a d5 for the images. If an image is popped, it goes to a d4, so on and so forth.

Quarr takes to the air once again 30 feet straight up He quickly heals his wounds

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Khakil takes a chance to strike the slippery mage.
AoO: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 2 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9

The bard barely manages to hide his face from the spout of flame.
Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

-Posted with Wayfinder

Lorenzo continues to bleed: 1d4 ⇒ 2

There's a signpost up ahead: You are now entering the Quantum Gaming Zone. If we manage to hit her, her movement will be halted, and she may not get to blast us at all (or at least be forced to make a concentration check to do so).

High is in my favor on all ensuing miss chance rolls.

Attack of Opportunity: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Belier's Bite: 1d4 ⇒ 2
miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 85
mirror images, '5' finds the queen: 1d5 ⇒ 3 Shucks.
The above is with the assumption that I'm getting Bardic Music and flanking benefits. Adjust as appropriate if I'm wrong.

Reflex save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

I move up to get a flank with Khakil (I think). I'd done a whole Ki-enhanced Flurry, but then realized I couldn't, so doing it over properly....

Punishing Kick: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 45
mirror images, '4' finds the queen: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Note to Posterity: The above rolls are trapped in the Far Side of the Quantum Gaming Zone (it's a scary place, full of surrealist cows) and may not be accurate records of What Really Happened due to multiple layers of trying to clean up my own mess.

Erm... an AoO doesn't stop someone's movement unless you drop them/something else weird happens.

Kali's lunging strike as the mage darts away pops an image, but does not damage to the true foe. Khakil's rapier Miss Chances: 2d100 ⇒ (13, 24) = 37 finds naught but air both times, and Kali's follow-up strike (though aimed truly) gets only the same... :/

Quarr gives himself another tap and lifts himself above the fray.

Round VI - bold may act!
1. Shem (54dmg, unconscious, bleeding out), Livilla (7dmg, 3 images)
2. Kali (20/34hp), Skybek (-5[6]/57hp), Quarr (15/39hp), Cott (7/49hp, Jenny unstable), Besai
3. Lorenzo (44dmg, bleeding, unconscious)
4. Khakil (16/38hp)

Erm... an AoO doesn't stop someone's movement unless you drop them/something else weird happens.

Yes; I made a mistake and redid that - and I'd always been told an Attack of Opportunity DID stop movement. It wouldn't surprise me at all if my group had been wrong, though.

Saw that and edited my own as well. Thanks for fixing it! :)

AoO's "interrupt" the normal flow of actions, but this only means they're resolved before the action that prompted them is resolved -- not that a successful AoO "negates" the action that prompted it.

Reflex Saving Throw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

"Besai, Ahh thank yae fer the spell, but this isnae the place tae be hangin aboot! Get outa the way!"

Skybek pats down his beard in case it was smoldering and then uses the expeditious retreat to do exactly that. He rushes out of the room where he casts Cure Moderate Wounds on himself.

Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 6 = 13

"That room is gettin a wee bit tae hot fer mae taste! Thanks tae Cayden Cailean Ahh'm still runnin aroond, but if Ahh wasnae sae quick on mae feet, Ahh'd be cooked by noo!"

fyi I'm just going to move Khakil into flanking position as a result to Kali's move instead of where I originally stated.

-Posted with Wayfinder

@ Khakil: no problem.

Skybek takes a great swig from his tankard as he flees an untimely death! Conversely, Lorenzo 1d20 + 3 - 11 ⇒ (8) + 3 - 11 = 0 approaches his own.

Round VI - bold may act!
1. Shem (54dmg, unconscious, bleeding out), Livilla (7dmg, 3 images)
2. Kali (20/34hp), Skybek (19/57hp), Quarr (15/39hp), Cott (7/49hp, Jenny unstable), Besai
3. Lorenzo (45dmg, bleeding, unconscious)
4. Khakil (16/38hp)

Cott takes a single step south, and directs the flaming sphere north towards the slew of identical women.

Fire damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 3) = 11
Reflex 15 negates

Then he roars and stamps his foot, sending a rippling wave of energy through the ground towards them.

Cast Thunderstomp. Trip attempt, with CL instead of BAB plus strength.

Trip: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Miss chance, high is better: 1d100 ⇒ 50

illusion? : 1d4 ⇒ 2

-Posted with Wayfinder

Miss Chance, Higher is Better: 1d100 ⇒ 48 HIT Reflex: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6 FAIL Livilla lets out a gasp of surprise as the fireball actually burns her, though she seems only slightly perturbed and resumes her steely grin. Cott's stomp isn't strong enough to undo her balance, either...

1d20 + 2 - 12 ⇒ (2) + 2 - 12 = -8 Shem bleeds profusely.

Besai, realizing he has the book he came for, decides to take Skybek's advice and bolts. He runs past Cott, who opens his mouth to protest, but remembers that he's a dinosaur and can't talk. He weaves his way through several rooms with astounding speed.

Livilla is having none of that. Her smile vanishes as her quarry disappears out of the room, and, ignoring the threats around her, gives chase. To everyone's surprise, she simply jogs north through the walls--completely ignoring the flabbergasted dwarf as she trots past. Skybek is wholly uncertain whether the woman popping out of the wall is the result of his drinking, but he does have his axe in hand... This action provokes from Khakil, Kali, and Skybek. Moments later, the party hears a sharp howl of pain from the atrium.

1d100 ⇒ 21 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 4) + 4 = 17

looking for #4...: 1d4 ⇒ 2

"DAMN YOU!" Kali shouts at both of them equally (or perhaps more at Besai). She runs to catch up.

Running as far ahead as I can - I'm operating on the assumption that I can't "double-run," and can't attack on the same turn I run. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Acrobatics check to avoid attack of opportunity: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Battle Axe: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

Round VII

Skybek casts Longstrider on himself and chases after Besai as fast as his expeditiously retreating long striding legs will take him.

I was reading up and Expeditious Retreat and Longstrider are both enhancement bonuses that appear to not stack. Please permit me to edit my action.

Round VII

Using expeditious retreat, Skybek will simply double move with his move of 40 ft. to try and catch Livilla.

Well now I'm confused. Doesn't expeditious retreat increase your speed by 30? Which, since you have travel domain, which bumps your base up from 20 to 30, would make your speed 60, so a double would be 120. What have I missed? Is Skybek insanely encumbered?

-Posted with Wayfinder

No, Skybek is not insanely encumbered, just his player's brain! Forgive me. That is my mistake. Longstrider has an enhancement bonus in base speed of 10 feet while expeditious retreat gives a 30 foot bonus. Skybek should have a base speed of 60 feet (20 foot base speed plus 10 foot travel domain bonus and 30 ft due to the expeditious retreat), not 40 feet. I have moved Skybek accordingly. Sorry for my hasting posting and confusion. :-)
