Ongoing PFS campaign. (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

It's certainly doable, imo.

You're doing me first, right (assuming I understand what it is you're doing)? I've already been reduced to 7 Constitution.

Yes right after we kill the swarm

Spenser might not have that much time, it has a lot more hp than 18.

Well Spenser will need to come to me and the swarm is between me and him.. and there is a 70% fail rate..

[b]Sepenser!!! Fly away of that swarm!!!![/ooc] shouts Keera as she moves down towar the cavalier and imbues him with a bit of her ability to fly with the aid of her magic. Fly spell

Spenser, fly up (no more than 45º up and more than half speed to avoid fly checks)
If you fail your Fort check but you're only 5 feet in the air, Sele can cast a LoH on you you could be cured or you'll be blasted in the next turn, but in either case you're away from the swarm.

Without further instructions from Keera, Sobrino continues clawing and biting the last grub.

Sobrino´s bite, higher ground: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 1 = 131d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Sobrino´s claw, higher ground: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 = 141d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Sobrino´s claw, higher ground: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 = 211d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Sobrino tears a wound in the back of the grub, which makes a sick sound as it is wounded.

Vassago

"Time to drown these stinkin' cucarachas!", Vassago shouts as the sound of a waterfall deafens his battle cry! He then lifts the mass of water overhead and slams it down over the horde of bugs!

Empowered Water blast + PBS @ swarm: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 1 = 24
Damage on hit: 3d6 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (3, 6, 3) + 9 + 1 = 22 x 1.5

And my bad... didn't realize Spenser was that bad off... hope I finished it off!

Sorry, not quite there yet.

Vassago kills off many rotgrubs, but so many more carpet the floor.
In effort to keep Spener away from the grubs, Keera casts fly on him.
--------------------
Blue grub
Bite vs Sobrino: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Bugs don't eat birds, naturally, and Sobrino remains unharmed.

Rotgrub swarm (-40)
The bgs swarm Sele again.
Swarming: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10
Fort roll vs distraction.
---------------------
Sele takes 1d4 ⇒ 2 con dmg.
Spenser takes 1d4 ⇒ 2 con dmg.

Kenji, Sele & Spenser (1 round & 2 rounds)

Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Con 9 - HP 27/36

"Move closer Spenser"

Sele waits for Spenser to move then he moves up to Spenser and uses Lay on hands on him

LOH: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 6, 6) + 6 = 24

Level Check+trait: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6

Spenser, your HP would be 18/22, with 6 nl.
You got healed to full prior to the fight, suffering just 4 swarm dmg, losing the rest to con dmg.

In that case, I count 24/28 - maximum hit points 46, normal Constitution 12, 7 Constitution damage (since odds don't count) deprives me of 18 hit points.

masterwork greatsword, Power Attack vs blue grub before moving: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (3, 1) + 12 = 16

"Ken yon most jubilant mind-fruit...." Spenser half-whispers, half-sings to himself, his mind even further elsewhere than normal as his rotting body drifts gracefully into the air.

Acrobatics check to avoid attack of opportunity, if necessary: 1d20 ⇒ 5

I don't suppose you have a reroll of some sort, Sele? Does anyone else have one they can grant him?

According to the chart of ability scores, 5 falls into the -3 modifier. Where would that be a -2?

Spenser's attack barely misses.
Aoo: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

If you are going up, still need a fly check.
Sele's
Loh heals Spenser from his wounds, but doesn't purge the infestation.

Kenji

According to the chart of ability scores, 5 falls into the -3 modifier. Where would that be a -2?

Apparently, the shift from 3.5 to Pathfinder made it so the toll of ability score loss is no longer about what your score has become, but how much you've taken, and it only counts for every *2* points you've lost. Stupid rule, I agree, but that's technically what it's become.

Fly: 1d20 ⇒ 13

I have a folio reroll, but you already osed one and i think it's only one no matter how many folios, shirts, etc you have
Also I give him perfect instructions to not check for flying. No matter much with his roll (wich he should have done with a +6 I think; -3 from the armor, +2 for Des and +3 for the Spelland +4 for good maneuverability), but I prefer to teach my heavily loaded friends to take it easy when flying

That is Spenser! Now stay in place and ready yourself for some electricity!

Kenji takes a 5' step to the large bug and strikes it, charging his first attack with electricity...

1st attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
dmg if hits: 1d8 + 3 + 1d4 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 3 + (2) + (1, 2) = 12

2nd attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
dmg if hits: 1d8 + 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + (2) + 3 = 8

Ok Spenser, thanks for the info.

Kenji pummels the bug, dealing 15 damage, and causing it to start bleeding for 3 a/turn.
======================

Rotgrub hazard, round 4

Keera & Vassago
------------
Blue grub (-18, bleed 3 to -21)

Swarm (-40)
------------
Kenji, Sele & Spenser (last round, 1 more round)

I have a folio reroll, but you already osed one and i think it's only one no matter how many folios, shirts, etc you have

What I had in mind was for you to give it to Sele so he could reroll his caster level check.

I dind't understand you Spenser :D. Sele, use my reroll for your CL check

Healing is incoming Spenser!!! Shouts Keera as she unleash a lighting over her friend.

lighting on Spenser: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 4) = 14

That should had hurt, but at least those larvae aren't eating you from inside. And that's good, yes? After stating that the damage was a necesity, Keera flyes up again and sees how Sobrino continue's attacking the grub.

Sobrino´s bite, higher ground: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 1 = 221d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Sobrino´s claw, higher ground: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 = 251d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Sobrino´s claw, higher ground: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 = 211d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

I dind't understand you Spenser :D. Sele, use my reroll for your CL check

Healing is incoming Spenser!!! Shouts Keera as she unleash a lighting over her friend.

[dice=lighting on Spenser]3d6

Might want to save your electroshock treatment for in case Sele's reroll doesn't work out.

Heal Spenser or blast swarm?

Edit: Blasting since I am better at it with my blasts.

Vassago, always one for an encore, tries to repeat his performance!

Empowered Water Blast w/ PBS @ swarm: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 1 = 23
Damage on hit: 3d6 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4, 4) + 9 + 1 = 21 x 1.5

YES blast swarm... spenser is at full after my 24 point lay on hands

Rotgrub hazard, round 4

Keera electrocutes Spenser, whose mustahce is extra pointy after it.
Vassago blasts the swarm, and it is at -70, and still alive.
------------
Blue grub bleeds 3 to -21, bites at Kenji.
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 Dmg + poison: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Grab?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Kenji, fort DC 16 please, or you'll be affected by 6 rounds of 1d3 str dmg. 1 save = cured.

Swarm (-40) swarms over Vassago.
Swarming: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

Vassago, 1st fort vs distraction, 2nd vs reflex vs infestation, DC 19.
------------
Kenji, Sele & Spenser

fort save dc 16: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 ooh just barely

Kenji throws off the poison with a groan of pain as it courses through him before it neutralizes in his demonic blood.

Kenji attacks the big bug again, taking a 5' step, hoping the bird uses the opportunity to flank the bug when it can attack...

to hit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
dmg if hits: 1d8 + 3 + 1d4 ⇒ (8) + 3 + (4) = 15

to hit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
dmg if hits: 1d8 + 3 + 1d4 ⇒ (7) + 3 + (3) = 13

"Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-ZZZZZZZOUNDS!!!"

I take it that saves me somehow?

Feeling a bit like he's just quaffed a hearty flagon of drain cleaner - clean, but hollow inside - Spenser drifts like a mithril cloud nearer to the horrible grubs.

"*Now*, abscheulich pestil-throng, quimble and lament 'neath mein ire like the shoures sour of slighted celestials!"

[dice=alchemist's fire vs rotgrub swarm]1d20+8[/dice]
fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 +50% = 7, with more to come next round

Yes it does.
You're an action short. By your description you both move, draw a flask and throw it.
Otherwise you're attacking with range penalties.

Though if not..1d8 ⇒ 2
The flask misses the swarm, and breaks on the floor, splashing 1 on the swarm.

Kenji & Vassago

Pending fort and reflex roll s from Vassago.

Yes it does.

Cool. May I ask how that works?

You're an action short. By your description you both move, draw a flask and throw it.
Otherwise you're attacking with range penalties.

No, you're right, I didn't actually throw it this round (which is apparently for the best...can't hit a swarm on a touch attack roll of '19', unbelievable....).

How it works, well she practically fried the parasites, along with you. Those things take a lot more hurt from the shock therapy than -you- did. :)

Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Str damage I'm sure: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Vassago steps back after the swarm sends a painful sensation coursing through his body. He then goes for a third blast at the bugs!

Empowered Water Blast + PBS @ swarm1d20+10+1[/dice: 1d3d6 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 = 14 x 1.5

Sorry, couldn't edit after the site went down for a bit. Corrected rolls.

Empowered Water Blast + PBS @ swarm: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 1 = 26
Damage on hit: 3d6 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (5, 5, 5) + 9 + 1 = 25 x 1.5

Vassago is distracted, and becomes nauseated.
He does however avoid becoming infested.

Sele

How it works, well she practically fried the parasites, along with you. Those things take a lot more hurt from the shock therapy than -you- did. :)

I thought as much. Works for me!

LOH: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 Cured!!! yes

LOH: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 5, 6) + 6 = 22

Then Sele will take a 5ft step forward and draw and throw his last alchemists fire

alchemists fire: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

alchemists fire 1st: 1d6 ⇒ 5

alchemists fire 2nd: 1d6 ⇒ 4

So with 5 points of damage that's -12 HP by the rules so 40/40 HP

I noticed i accidentally asked Vassago to post before his turn, but no matter now, i guess.

Sele rids himself of the parasites, and heals up.
Afterwards he gives the swarm some due.
==================
Rotgrub hazard, round 5

Vassago is nauseated, and backs away.
Keera
------------
Swarm (-47, burns to -51)
------------
Kenji, Sele & Spenser

Sobrino, by mi side ask Keera, wanting her animal friend to move away the swarm to avoid being infected.
Now it's time to throw lighting, not to bite Then she unleashes another boilt over the swarm.

damage, reflex 17 for half: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 4) = 10

Used 3/6 lighting bolts

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
The swarm's grubs inside the square are getting fried, for another 10 dmg. The sound of crackling thunder echoing through the hallways.....
----------------
Swarm burns to -61

It creeps over Vassago again.
Swarming: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7

And he gets to make another fort & reflex save.
----------------
Kenji, Sele & Spenser

[dice=alchemist's fire vs rotgrub swarm]1d20+8[/dice] :(
fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Move action to draw a flask of acid for next round.

on phone, don't see that big bug went down, but it's not in initiative lineup either... so, if it's still up, he'll flurry on bug... if its,down he'll alchemist fire swarm if it's close enough

flurry: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
dmg if hits: 1d8 + 3 + 1d4 ⇒ (4) + 3 + (2) = 9

flurry: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
flurry: 1d8 + 3 + 1d4 ⇒ (4) + 3 + (2) = 9

if ranged touch, that 11 becomes a 16 and

fire dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 5
2nd round fire dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 3

GM Cgyro, My lighting doen't count as an Area of effect for +50% damage?
Spenser if you doesn't move you need to pass a DC 15 fly check to hover. Maybe you'll prefer to move for an easier/inexistent check even if that means less attacks

Okay then, I moved.

Keera: I'm going with no. Because of the following.
It's not an AoE spell like fireball or burning hands, nor a splash effect like acid/alchemist fire.
Upside: while swarms can't be targeted by single target spells, this spell doesn't call for a target of the spell.
Kenji: thanks, but blue would have perished from bleeding after your 2nd attack. You're not within proper range, but i guess you'd have moved. Please place yourself where you would have moved to, and drawn your alchemist fire for next time.

Fort Vassago: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Ref Vassago: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Spenser's flask ends up 1d8 ⇒ 4 against a wall, splashing the swarm for 1.

Sele

Sele will stay back, he will draw his last flask of acid and have it ready in case Vassago is not able to finish the swarm

He won't this turn. Maybe next round it will.

Rotgrub hazard, round 6

Keera & Vassago (nauseated)
----------------
Swarm (-61)
----------------
Kenji, Sele & Spenser

A little harder than I tought then.

Don't wait for us Sele! This swarm is harder than it looks says Keera before sending another lighting.

lighting, DC 17 reflex for half: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 4) = 11

Then she caress Sobrino. I know you want to help, but there are too many to bite one at a time. Stay safe here with me

4 of 6 lightings used

Now to wait for our latino blastino to move, the swarm's action will depend on it.

If someone wants to bot Vassago, go ahead.

Preferably someone better-versed than I am in what he and Kineticists in general can do.

Vassago backs away from the swarm, at the very least hoping to draw it away from the party.

can't edit map, move Vassago back 15' away from swarm

-Posted with Wayfinder

Unexpected, i'd say. This could be somewhat troublesome, drawing in another fight.

Reflex swarm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Keera fries more vermin, and yet they still remain active, ye gods!!
As Vassago creates more distance between himself and the swarm, he descends a set of stairs. Though dark, his special vision reveals 5 creatures in the room. 3 blurry shadowy women with porselain masks and two tiny dark colored dragon like creatures, no bigger than a sparrow, though the latter are vague shapes.

They stare at him, and quickly come into action.
Depending on init result, they act current round or the next, should they beat Keera/Vassago's init.

Blue Drake: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 Acts next round.
Green Drake: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 Joins.
Shadowy woman Blue: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 Joins.
Shadowy woman Green: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 Joins.
Shadowy woman Red: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 Joins.
Ouch, joining high in init.
-------------
Shadow woman
Drake
-------------
Shadow woman Green approaches with an eerie grace, a big sword swinging at Vassago.
Falchion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 Dmg + cold: 2d4 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 + (1) = 10
The sword comes down moderately, but the damage hurts, and he feels an icy chill emanating from her blade.

Green drake inhales, and exhales a ball of shadowy energy, which explodes near Vassago.
Cold: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5
Reflex Vassago for 1/2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26 Vassago covers his face in time, and steps a feet back, avoiding part of the measly damage.

Shadowy woman Blue points her finger at Vassago.
Will for disbelief DC 16: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
SR check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Something was supposed to happen, but didn't. She then moves up close.

Shadowy woman Red moves north, and is casting something.
Will Vassago for disbelief: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
SR check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Cold dmg: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4
Fort Vassago vs stagger: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Vassago feels a slight chill sapping into his bones, and he feels numb.
Staggered.
---------------------
Swarm (-72) now heads for Sele, as Vassago headed down and Sele is in direct sight..and closer nearby.

Swarming: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10
Have at it with the rolls, make them count.
Con dmg if not passing ref: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Kenji, Sele & Spenser
