In Search of Adventure in Karameikos Group 1 ==B1-9 (Core Pathfinder) (Inactive)

Game Master Chainmail

Malthor readies and action to shoot an acolyte directly in front of him if Teraldan can't talk them down and the acolyte moves to attack.

Heavy Crossbow: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20 Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 9
Crit confirmation: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19 Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 1

Maldor's first round action is to activate his protective ward.

Teraldan takes the first line, bow drawn - "We are offering you a chance to state your intentions in Karameikos. Speak now!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

He remains in a combat stance however, ready to attack immediately if there is an aggressive response.

Readied Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Damage if it hits: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Aviari stands in silence at the strangeness of the scene before her, and so hesitates, quietly grateful that her allies seem to know what they are doing in the bizarre for her situation.

Just a little RP to justify the sad-face initiative roll! In an iron castle facing off against dark acolytes.. She is not in her usual element. (^_^)

Ni-Cu waits for response from the acolytes…

GM - Can we make Knowledge (nature) checks untrained?

One of the acolytes begin casting a spell.
Are you considering that a hostile response?

Yeah, that's hostile. He gets the crossbow.

Ni-Cu waits for response from the acolytes…

GM - Can we make Knowledge (nature) checks untrained?

Oops. I meant Knowledge (religion).

No religion untrained here.

One of the acolytes begins casting, and Teraldan and Malthor fire and a bolt and arrow rip into him piercing the chain mail he is wearing beneath his robes. The clerics move forward with their maces and begin to cast and a blessing seems to pervade their side of the room. All of them approach and say:"You bastard$!! You killed Lenny!!"

Two of the acolytes cast and point at Madhor and Teraldan and speak "Come to us."

Party is up

Nice work Teraldan and Malthor!!!

@GM: So now Denlin, Aviari and Quill to finish the round?

Also: What did Bogo do?

Will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Maldor just looks at the acolyte and laughs..."Ha Ha Ha...Pathetic! My old Nanna is more commanding than you! Try this on for size!" He steps forward and tosses a handful of colored powder at the acolytes. With an arcane phrase, he casts color spray at the group. (Marked on the map. DC15 Will negates. Spell description hyperlinked for convenience!)

"It was Nature who gave you life, and now she takes it from you! So Despair wicked ones!" Aviari cries, the sudden action freeing her from her momentary hesitation.

Aviari steps diagonally to stand at Malthor's side, where she has a clearer shot past her allies. She raises a hand, and from a finger, an arc of lighting leaps at the acolyte just out of range of Maldor's color spray.

Lightning arc, ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Fzap!: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Denlin charges past the sleeping acolytes to attack one of the ones still standing.

Charging to the acolyte at F9. AC is 16 this turn.

Sword swinging: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 6) + 6 = 17

So who is up? Party Round 2 (those before the Acolytes in the init. order)?

Still waiting to see what Quill and Bogo do. Malthor has posted Round 2 action.

NO! I didn't want to kill Kenny... I am not a bastard! Wait, no.. Lenny? :D

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Teraldan starts moving forward in a sort of automaton way.

Moving to E:9

Bogo moves up and the rogue throws a dagger at an acolyte. The throwing dagger clatters off armor.
throw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Does Maldor provoke?

Not wanting to draw too much attention to the group's current position, Arya decides to cast Daze on the acolyte in F9.

DC13 Will save negates

GM - what about Quill?

Round 2
Ni-Cu moves up behind Aviari and lets fly with a javelin at the acolyte nearest the occluded gnome.

Move Action Move to D-14.

Standard Action: Throw javelin at acolyte in F9.

Fwip!: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 [BAB, +2 Dex]
Shangt!: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 [+2 Str]

-4 to the attack roll if the acolyte is actively engaging Teraldan - which may not be the case given his enchanted status.

I'ma clarifying my action: the acolyte who received the lightning was the one in E8. Best wishes to everyone! ^_^

Not having heard--Maldor casts normally.

Maldor casts drawing a mace blow in response. The counterstrike knocks the mage unconscious and disrupts the spell.
mace/damage: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 211d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Aviari hits an acolyte with a bolt.
hp left: 1d8 + 1 - 6 ⇒ (1) + 1 - 6 = -4

Teraldan advances leaving himself open to two mace blows as Denlin rips another apart. The mace blows fail to connect.

AoO: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 101d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6

Once again the two clerics swing at Teraldan.
AoO: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 2 = 241d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7
One hits for 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Bogo: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 114 + 1 = 5
Bogo fails to bite the front cleric.

party up in any order-unless you are walking like a robot

Malthor 5' steps forward and casts cure light wounds on Maldor.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

You should really be more careful when casting.

Tribute, is Teraldan still doing 'The Robot'?

Nope, a one round thing. Though you have a bow out now.

"Haha, I love introducing new people to Aunt Molly!" Denlin calls as he continues to advance.

Moving up to the nearest enemy still standing (though I thought I splatted the one at F9, unless someone else took his place?) Rage and swing. AC is 16 unless I move 10 feet, in which case it's 14.

Swing away: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 3) + 9 = 15

"Behold Nature's fury!" Aviari cries as the acolyte struck by her lightning falls to the ground. With - 4 hp, no less!

Aviari sees the two acolytes surrounding Teraldan, so she moves quickly to E-10 to aid the knight.

Attack to aid another for + 2 AC: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (5) + 0 = 5

Ack! Sorry Teraldan, I tried! Next rounnd, I can move to flank, which should help. ^_^

Both Denlin's shot and Aviari's help are off.

Bogo moves up and attacks.
hit x3: 3d20 ⇒ (5, 5, 14) = 24
hp left: 1d8 - 1d4 ⇒ (5) - (3) = 2
Bogo connects with a claw leaving the forward acolyte hurt badly.

I am sure I will be able to use my bow at least once during this adventure ;)

Dropping the bow, Teraldan reaches for his blade, moving around, and flanking the acolyte with Bogo - "You have been given a chance to parley - that time is over now" - his words bear a grim determination as he swings.

Longsword Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 2 = 20
Damage if it hits: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

--Status--
HP: 7/11
AC: 20

GM - did Ni-Cu hit the acolyte in F-9 with her javelin?

Ni Cu's javelin missed, deflected by armor.

OK. Seeing as the acolyte in F9 is likely engaging Aviari I'll aim for the acolyte in F8

Nee is momentarily angered to see her javelin bounce off the acolyte's armor. She moves to a better position, and unable to get a clear shot on the acolyte in melee with Aviari targets the one behind...

Move Action: Move to D11

Standard Action: Ranged Attack, F8.

Shaw!: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 [0 BAB, +2 Dex]
Shonque!: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 [+2 Str]

So unless Nee missed the first time due to throwing her javelin into melee, I'm guessing this missed too, UNLESS this acolyte has inferior armor...

Nice move Ni. I hope ye get 'im! (^_^) Would anyone like to flank with me? (~_^)

Well I would have moved closer to mix it melee style but it meant having three acolytes around me - was a little scary...

Once again Ni Cu fails to penetrate the armor of the priests.
remaining hit by Teraldan: 1d8 + 1 - 7 ⇒ (1) + 1 - 7 = -5
Teraldan puts his target on the ground bleeding. He wasn't a tough man, pale and wasted from years of studying.
With half their number bleeding on the ground, they still try to fight.

The two clerics in the rear command Denlin forward.
Two will DC 14 saves for Denlin or he runs the gauntlet.

One cleric swings at Aviari, and one at Teraldan.
Teraldan/aviary to hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 191d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
if AC 19 or less Teraldan damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Party up

Malthor reloads his heavy crossbow.

Aviari unleashes her lightning at the acolyte standing in square G8.

Lightning Arc, ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Bzak!: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"Finally an opening. Time at last to join the fray"

Arya deftly thrusts her rapier at the acoylte in front of her.
Rapier Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Nice roll Arya!

Nee cannot stifle a curse as her second javelin clanks uselessly to the ground. She moves adeptly through her companions and launches at the nearest of the faithful

Move Action Move to F9
Standard Action Attack acolyte in E8

Flurry 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 [BAB, +2 Str, +1 Weapon Focus, -2 Flurry]
Chok!: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 [+2 Str]

Flurry 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 [BAB, +2 Str, +1 Weapon Focus, -2 Flurry]
Smak!: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 [+2 Str]

Still couldn't penetrate the armor. Shoulda gone a single punch….

Will Save 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Will Save 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Denlin shakes his head a moment, then advances forward past the nearest acolytes as the ones in the back beckon.

Oh well, time to WALK THE GAUNTLET

"Don't listen to them Denlin! You're stronger than them- snap out of it!" Aviari cries as the barbarian begins to mechanically walk towards the beckoning acolytes.

Apologies for the sudden change in strategy what with the ranged attack. Touch hits easier- and it looked like the acolytes were scattering for a moment. I'll try moving up into a flank in a couple of rounds. ~_^

"They appear to be on the withdraw- what say you we try to surround them on all sides, like wolves hunting sheep?" Aviari says softly to Arya and Ni Cu, in the attempt to strategize without being heard.

At the mention of wolves Nee actually lowers her stance, and her face contorts into a grim rictus. She growls.

"Whoughff!" she breathes huskily.

Bogo claws at an acolyte for minimal damage as Arya brings one down with a rapier to the neck.natural: 3d20 ⇒ (16, 12, 11) = 391d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Denlin walks the gauntlet provoking attacks from the acolytes.
AoO2attacks@+31x@+5: 3d20 ⇒ (12, 4, 6) = 22
The acolytes then attack with and hit Denlim twice.
2attacks@+31x@+5: 3d20 ⇒ (4, 15, 11) = 30
Denlim Damage: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (1, 6) + 2 = 9

Denlim is hurt and even more angry.

Party up--one acolyte in front is wounded.

The gnome is an acolyte right? If so he gets the crossbow if not its the one next to him.

Malthor raises his cross bow once again and shoots.

Heavy Crossbow: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 1 - 4 = 10 Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 9 -4 for shooting into melee.

Maldor finally shakes off the ringing in his ears and moves up to support the party, casting daze at the closest acolyte by Teraldin, Bogo, and Ni-Cu.

"Arrrg! No one tells me what to do! Enough of your silly tricks!" Denlin cries.

Attacking the acolyte that bogo is flanking with me
" Aunt Molly: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 2) + 9 = 12

Ni grins as Arya dispatches the acolyte nearest her. She whirls about and steps up to attack the hapless acolyte surrounded by the halfling, reptilian and fellow human. She snaps a brutal kick that thuds into the acolyte's armor, then delivers a shocking headbutt to the bridge of the man's nose.

5' step: to F-8

Standard Action: Attack flanked Acolyte in E-8

Flurry 1: 1d20 + 2 + 1 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 1 - 2 + 2 = 15 [BAB, +2 Str, +1 Weapon Focus, -2 Flurry, +2 flanking]
Kick!: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Flurry 2: 1d20 + 2 + 1 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 + 1 - 2 + 2 = 23 [BAB, +2 Str, +1 Weapon Focus, -2 Flurry, +2 flanking]
Headbutt!: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Critical Confirmation: 1d20 + 2 + 1 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 1 - 2 + 2 = 15 [BAB, +2 Str, +1 Weapon Focus, -2 Flurry, +2 flanking]
Crit damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Arya will hook around to flank the gnome and will quickly thrust her rapier at the gnome.

rapier: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"Aye! We are the wolf-tigers!" Aviari cries. She pushes past Maldor and hops over Teraldan to move to square E5 (path: starting from F10: E10, D9, D8, D7, D6, E5. 6 squares, 30 ft.).

Dexterity to avoid attack of opportunity from E6 acolyte: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

She strikes at the acolyte at Denlin's back (E6) with her club.

Flank attack!: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Moving through the crowded space makes Aviari unstable on her feet as she reaches her destination. She misses her attack terribly, and likely must attempt to evade the acolyte's opportunity attack.

attack Denlin: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 171d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
attack AVIARI: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

confirm Aviari: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 71d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Aviari and Denlin take nasty mace blows as Bogo retaliates on the wounded acolyte. his claws and bites cannot penetrate the armor of the student priests.
attx3: 3d20 ⇒ (12, 7, 6) = 25
Party up -- has Maldor been healed from NEG 1?

Malthor 5' steps forward and casts cure light wounds on Maldor.

[dice=CLW]1d8+1

You should really be more careful when casting.

Malthor healed him for 9 points here...
