Gameday 4: Feast of Ravenmoor [PFS credit] (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

Uthred hacks into the eerie figure as well. It tilts it head in a silent 'was that it?'

Sarephta
Artoria is admiring the stitches and beauty of straw. :)
--------
Effigy (-28)

Sarephta stabs at the strange figure, but can't get close to it.

+1 Longspear Attack (power attack): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 91d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

1d3 ⇒ 3Slam vs Uthred: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13Dmg: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

---------------------

Effigy, round 3

Aryn
Sarephta & Uthred
Artoria (still fascinated by what is possible these days)
----------
Effigy (-28)

Botting Aryn, it's been more than a day.

After the attack from the effigy...
Will Aryn: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13 Oh boy... XD
Aryn's rage disappears instantly, as fright catches her.
"EEEEEEEE!!!! NOOOOOOO!!", she cowers in fear.

Sarephta & Uthred
Artoria (unphazed by Aryn's hysteria)
--------
Effigy (-28)

Uthred moves next to the foe and swings at the effigy-thingy once more with his axe
DWA: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
DMG: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

"Snap out of it you two! If someone has any fire attacks do it!"

Uthred hacks away more straw and fillings, the sound of cloth ripping and wood snapping.
Sarephta

There's still plenty of fighting left after this.
*Crosses fingers, considering deadline :)*

Botting today's round for Sarephta.

Sarephta joins Uthred in the attack.
Spear, PA: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11Dmg: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
She hits loose cloth though.
Artoria is standing fascinated by the spectacle.
---------
Effigy: strikes back at Uthred for hurting it.
Slam: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22Dmg: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Slam: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20Dmg: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Hurting him pretty bad.
Uthred, 2 will saves DC 14, or you cower too. :3

----------------------

Effigy, round 3

Aryn
Uthred & Sarephta
Artoria Such beautiful stitches...
------------
Effigy: (-36)

You guys realize you can get me out of fascinate by just taking a standard action to shake me, right?

EDIT: Wait, is Archimedes fascinated? If he isnt, he can use a standard action to rouse Artoria

I was wondering about that too. ;)
Wouldn't be a 1st, the party forgot about that too in my homebrew...go figure.

Oh, and dont forget everyone within 10 feet of me has +4 on saves versus fear. (And look at editted-in question above, please

The entire time that Artoria was caught in fascination by the strange effigy, her mind wandering through the ancient plains of Britain, Archimedes squawked in her ear futilely. After several seconds of ineffectual flailing, he finally takes his claws to her face...

Claw Damage: 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1
So 1 nonlethal damage

...finally waking her up.

"...Wha..what was that? Where am--"

She sighted the effigy in-combat with her allies and steeled herself for battle.

"Your trickery ends here, creature!"

She surged forward and took a swing.

Attack with Longsword (2h, power attack w/furious focus): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Damage (2h, power attack): 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Crit Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

WIL: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
WIL: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
And the half elf is fascinated...

Round 2, retcon:
Aryn swings her blade again, unaffected by the mind trick the effigy's trying to pull on her.

Cold Iron Greatsword, Bloodrage, PA: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 - 1 = 29 Damage, Bloodrage, PA: 2d6 + 6 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (3, 5) + 6 + 3 + 3 = 20
Confirm crit: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 - 1 = 10 Damage, Bloodrage, PA: 2d6 + 6 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4) + 6 + 3 + 3 = 17

Round 3, if enemy still stands:
And again, Aryn swings her greatsword at the effigy. "HYAAA!!"

Cold Iron Greatsword, Bloodrage, PA: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 2 - 1 = 26 Damage, Bloodrage, PA: 2d6 + 6 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2) + 6 + 3 + 3 = 16

....and that's a wrap.
Under the swift assault from the team, the effigy is chopped to splinters.
--------------------------

Was my 3rd round required? If not, that saves me a round of bloodrage.

Aryn's eyes and hair return to their usual color once the effigy is down. She pants heavily while leaning on her greatsword.

"What...was that thing?" Sarephta asks, startled by the appearance and mannerisms of the creature.

She carefully looks around, clearly shaken by it.

Take 20 perception for a 33 to check it out. Sorry for missing my last turn...Thanksgiving with the family!

After the creature falls down, Uthred gathers his senses and checks his gear, then attends to his companions. "Nasty foe that was. Many thanks for defeating it. Is everyone alright?"
He then looks around the room
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20...

With that added +4 to saves vs fear, Aryn had destroyed the effigy, so Uthred did not take damage. Huzzah!

Sarephta and Uthred closely examine the effigy and the room.
Nothing of note is on - or within, either.

Pick a room, first to post calls progress.

after shaking the cobwebs out of his head, Uthred checks the door he is next to, to see if it is unlocked.

Aryn places a hand on Artoria's shoulder. "You okay again?"

She nods at Uthred, to indicate she's ready to proceed when everyone else is.

The door is not locked, and Uthred carefully opens it.
As Sarephta would likely take 20 again for traps :) , discovering it is not trapped.

To the south, this long room is empty save for a large mound of compost covered with tiny black mushrooms heaped nearly to the ceiling in the southeast corner of the room, while to the north, an old kitchen seems to have been repurposed into some sort of indoor garden.
A workbench cluttered with pottery stills and glass alembics stands below small alcoves filled with vials and beakers. Dozens of clay vessels rest haphazardly on wooden boxes, each sprouting neatly-pruned shrubs or large, exotic mushrooms.
They appear surprisingly well-tended, given the state of the rest of the building, though the roots of several have burst through their pots.

Of note are mushrooms and other strange fungi, including several
containers of pale blue mold.

Also present here are four strange puff ball-like spore
cases, gray and the size of a man’s fist.

Among these four sits a fifth, recently emptied spore case.

Against the wall, forms a slimy mold from the decaying plants and fungi.

Order of entering?

Artoria will enter first once more, after briefling stopping to use a charge from her wand to top herself off.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

She glances about, brow furrowed, as she is incapable of putting a name to any of the strange plants before here.

"There are some strange...somethings...in this room, apparently plants of some sort. Do any of you recognize them?"

Uthred also enters the room and looks around. "Yeah, I got no idea."

Will update in a bit, some stuff around the house to do.

Alright, let's continue.
As Aryn and Sarephta can't make the Kn. checks, we'll move on.

1d20 ⇒ 18
Before Aryn and Sarephta walk in, Artoria shines her glowing sword to the west. The slimey mold near the wall suddenly springs into movement.

Ooze, round 1

Sarephta
-----------
Ooze
-----------
Artoria, Aryn, Uthred

Sarephta quickly plunges her spear into the quivering ooze before it can react.

"Look out!"

+1 Longspear Attack (power attack): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 191d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

This combat will last just this single round anyway...oozes are weak :)

Ooze, round 1

Sarephta spears the ooze for 13.
-----------
Ooze 1d3 ⇒ 3
Slam vs Uthred: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23Dmg+poison: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Uthred, fort DC 16 please.
-----------
Artoria, Aryn, Uthred

"Disgusting! Such abominations have no reason to exist."

After a quick tap with guidance from Archimedes, Artoria swings her sword on the creature.

Attack with Longsword (2h, power attack, furious focus, guidance): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 = 25
Damage (2h power attack): 1d8 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 3 = 9

Some disgusting goo splashes around at Uthred and Artoria, Archimedes covering his face with a wing.
He looks disapproving at you, something akin to 'careful where it lands, will you?'

Aryn & Uthred

Alright, let's continue.

As Aryn and Sarephta can't make the Kn. checks, we'll move on.

I actually could! :P

Knowledge (Nature): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Knowledge (Planes): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Aww, almost had the 2nd...

Aryn drops her greatsword and takes her glaive, which she uses to attack the ooze while staying behind Uthred.

Glaive, PA: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 - 1 = 11 Damage, PA: 1d10 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 3 = 13

"It's clear I haven't used this in a while," Aryn mumbles after her sloppy attack.

Aryn stabs the wall.
;)

Uthred

"Unless the wall starts to animate and attacks us, I would refrain from attacking the wall and concentrate on the ooze-thing... Will fire work on this thing? Shall I use some alchi-fire?" Uthred asks after seeing the once-man teammate land a telling blow and the creature seemed not phased as he attacks with his war-axe...
DWA: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
DMG: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

he was distracted by the ladies and the goo that splashed around

You owed me a fort save.
Is this your way to avoid using the bad rolls? :3
Now i'll have to roll it for you.
Fort Uthred, con penalty: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 - 2 = 14

Yuck...

Uthred ends the ooze, in an even messier display of flying sludge than Artoria showed before.

Aryn puts her glaive away and picks up her greatsword.

"It's no excuse, but I'm less used to pole weapons."

She moves into the room that held the ooze and looks around.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

You find:
8 doses of blue whinnis poison, 5 vials of alchemist’s fire and 5 potions.

Where to?
There's still plenty of fights left.

what was the end result of the ooze on Uthred? Just messy? and Uthred could use some healing if anyone has any to spare.

Yes, that. We'll have to conclude that at the end of the scenario.

very ominous
once the ladies figure out what the potions are Uthred says...
"Maybe i should carry the potions of poison negating and of healing. I did just get covered in slime just now and i may need them with my reduced stamina."

if no one figures them out then he will just go on with them.

Assuming they get their spellcraft checks, that is :)
It might be lemon soda if they don't.

Sarephta takes a moment to open a celestial conduit. Healing waves envelope all those standing nearby.

"Let me see those potions," she says, then examines them carefully to try to determine what they are.

perception1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21
perception2: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
perception3: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
perception4: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22
perception5: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Identify the powers of a potion through taste 15 + the potion's caster level

channel: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7 Not sure how much more healing anyone needs. Here's 7 HP for everyone, let me know if you need more.

That's you perception modifier, your spellcraft's +2 :)
Remember, these potions are made by cultist rural folk.
Their vials can, likely, differ from those from the city.

You can identify potions through perception and taste. You dont need spellcraft.

Ok. Yes, i've only seen it analyzed by spellcraft thus far.

Where to?

Artoria carefully approaches the next door, trying to avoid any more unpleasant surprises from the strange plants in the room.

How are the looted items devided, aside from the restoratives Uthred now holds?

The door is untrapped, as the group of paranoid investigators carefully figure out.

What....am i wrong in you guys letting Sarephta checking everything for traps?

This windowless room is lit by a single brass lantern hanging
from a rusty nail on the northern wall. Dozens, perhaps hundreds of moths crawl throughout the ceiling’s rotting rafters and on the moldering curtains of boarded windows, the disturbance of their movements causing eerie shadows to wiggle on every surface.
Old floorboards have been ripped up in the room’s corner, allowing a flight of earthen steps to lead down into the ground.

Artoria has several alchemists' fires and alkali flasks already, so the alchemists' fires should go to someone who doesn't have anything against swarms. She also cant/wont use poison and can heal herself, so other people can take those if they want.

Seeing the steps leading down, Artoria turns around and heads back towards the entrance to check out the side room. She will wait until everyone else is ready, if they want to do any healing or such

"We should clear this area before heading down to prevent us from being surprised later."

"My advice is to just burn it. Burn the room. Take no chances. We already killed some animated guardian they have. They will be pissed about that. Anything else we do won't matter. Why take chances in this building. Every room we went into we have been attacked. Let us burn the whole friggan building down and then go kill some cultists." Uthred says in frustration over being good and weakened.

"Uthred, as long as the building stands and the outside looks the same, they will at least approach the place. That's when we can strike."

Aryn places a hand on Uthred's wounds and a soft blue light emits from her palm. "If we burn the place, they'll never come back here."

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Uthred at 25/28HP

She frowns a bit when her healing magic's not as effective as usual. "Hmm... Can you hold up like this?"

"I require none of the items, by the way. Uthred can keep them, if he wants."
