[PFS - CORE] The Godsmouth Heresy - Table 2 (Inactive)

Game Master Yiroep

Laeowynne steps up to see the Festrog and tries to attack it. He misses the mark.

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

Green's Turn
The festrog lashes out as Valeros in hunger.
Bite Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Bite Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Claw Attack 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Claw Damage 1: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Claw Attack 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Claw Damage 2: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
It flails around a bit.

Hey! I'm sick. koff, koff.

Ray continues with his undead disrupting, but slips on a loose tile, and shoots his spell off in the wrong direction.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

ZING!

"Damn Ray! I'm not dead yet!"

"Well, if you had been, we would have known it now!"

"Li'l less chatter, little more splatter, eh?" Valeros jokingly chides as he moves to the corner and hunkers down once more. He'll remain defensive for best benefit...

Defensive Gauntlet: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 - 4 = 4

Ray and Valeros try to damage the festrog again. However, this festrog avoided both attack.

Tyranius successfully strikes the festrog, cause it electrical pains.

Acid Dart Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Ha! He takes it out.

The festrog slumps to the ground from the elemental assault.

Out of Initiative!

The mist still emanates from the menhir in the center of the room.

Now that you have more time to hear and study things...

Let me know if anyone wants to do anything else in here. There's no loot.

"That's creepy, and I don't feel the need to get close to it. Let's go check the next area, ya know?"

"I hear dead people. Wait it's coming from the stone. No, my head. No the stone thing. Maybe I'm developing occult powers. There's got be a book for that."

"Whatever are you going on about? You got voices in your head? Generally, that isn't good... for any of us!"

Where to next? There's...

• The secret doors in the central room that all have magical trapped statues in front of the doors (7 of those).
• The western double doors in the main hallway.
• The west doors all the way in the entry hall.
• The hallway to the west on the far side of the crypt.

Pretty much any blackened area, you haven't explored yet.

not recognizing any of the ancient arcane symbols on the walls Tyranius is glad to move along. The less time spent underground the better he was.

Turning back. Let's head back to the western hallway. There is a bit more there yet to explore.

"Check all the areas we don't know for a fact are trapped first before checking the trapped areas? I *like* this plan."

Valeros will move along with the rest of the team towards that western hallway, alert for any horrors along the way...

The party decides to move to the west hallway.

In the room to the West, a suit of elaborate lacquered armor stands sentinel against the far eastern wall of this octagonal chamber. Silver chains attached to the armor’s neck and chest run across the floor of the room, their ends clutched in the bony hand of a skeleton sprawled on the floor ten feet away.

You see rather large (but still diminutive) cockroaches crawling in and out of the armor, like there may be more inside. The armor is a masterwork suit of banded mail.

There's also a masterwork bastard sword lying on the ground near the armor and two daggers near the skeleton ten feet away from the suit of armor.

The hallways continue to the East.

For the design of the armor...

"Big bugs? I wouldn't wear that armor..."

"Provided it's *usable* it'd be a significant upgrade for my protection. Provided the bugs haven't set up base came in there... or it's undead... or trapped.

Creat, you think you can give it a look, maybe get those chains off it so I can fight in it?"

"Yah, Creat. Cockroaches are surely your department, right?"

:)

"Not if we'really goin' by size Ray."

knowledge (local): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

"Weird."

Creat explosion the spoiler above.

Creat chucks a loose stone at the armor.

After Creat throws a rock at the armor, the cockroaches start swarming around it trying to find the disturbance. After a few seconds, it dies down again. There are a lot of cockroaches inside that armor. You might even say a swarm of them. ;)

"Maybe if we set some torches near the biggest spots and then Creat knocks on the door with another rock we can drive the pile of bugs into the fire and clear it that way? Otherwise, I'm kind of out of ideas?"

Tyranius grabs an Alchemist Fire from his pack and readies it.

Remember we found a few alchemist fires and acid flasks.

Everyone should get one ready.

Once everyone has a flask of some sort ready he hurls it at the cockroach filled-armor.

Alchemist Fire: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Valeros will move a bit closer and wait a few beats for the bugs to come streaming out before letting loose with an acid flask.

Acid Flask: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Was aiming where the black line is at

Scatter: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

"Maybe if we set some torches near the biggest spots and then Creat knocks on the door with another rock we can drive the pile of bugs into the fire and clear it that way? Otherwise, I'm kind of out of ideas?"

Having lived in pauper's districts all his life Creat considers.

"I got one!"

He hides the torch behind his cloak casting a big shadow over roache's side of the room. Then, dramatically, he turns around and shines it on them again. Do the roaches skitter away?

Creat, they do not scatter away at the light, and then some explosions happen.

I'll go ahead and give you all a surprise round on it, since people are throwing flasks.

Valeros
Tyranius

Ray steps back, not really prepared to take on a bunch of cockroaches.

Valeros and Tyranius throw their respective splash weapons. Neither, hit and the cockroaches take some minor damage. They start to flow out of the armor in anger.

Creat shines the light on them, and they get even more swarmy and angry. They big to come out of the armor. They are dazzled though. :p

Ray and Laeowynne hang back. Doesn't look like Laeowynne has much to help for this situation.

Ray grabs one of the alchemist fire's that Tyranius pointed out, and tosses it.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 1d3 ⇒ (4) + (3) = 7

apologies. this is the longest redeployment i have ever experienced

"I have not started my studies on animals and nature as of yet."
Laeowynne says to the others and takes a step back ready to run away if the others cannot deal with the threat.

Ray hits the swarm dead on and takes out several cockroaches.

Ray, usually I don't have a d3 rolled for the extra damage and multiply the original d6 roll, but you also forgot point blank shot, so it turns out to be 7 regardless.

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

Laeowynne retreats.

Acid: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Tyranius hits the swarm and takes out a large chunk of them. They still remain.

(Botting Creat tomorrow if no post)

Creat drops a flask lantern oil onto the floor southeast of his position.

"Anyone got a light?" He touches his torch to it. "Yo Val! Get behind the fire line man!"

Laeowynne starts fumbling through his backpack to find his alchemist fire so he can give it to someone better at throwing than he next turn...

Creat pours oil over the ground.

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

The swarm moves forward, enveloping Valeros and crawling all over him.
Swarm Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Need a Fort save vs. Distraction.

What is with all the swarms! It seems every scenario has one... and yet I am still unprepared.

Ray grabs another of the flasks of acid from the bag and throws it.
RTA: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"Sorry, Val... I have a potion for you here too..."

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

"Bleah... stupid roaches! Pfft. Ack... blahhh"

The fighter leaps behind the 'fire line' that Creat dropped!

Valeros escapes the swarm, and as he does, Ray throws an alchemist fire on the ground. An explosion happens and the cockroaches catch fire. Between the explosion and the alchemist fire itself, the various pieces of the swarms cease movement, and there are many dead cockroaches laying on the ground.

Out of Initiative!

Valeros (-2)

Loot:

• two daggers
• masterwork banded mail (it's a little gross, but no (live) cockroaches in it anymore)
• masterwork bastard sword

The inevitable question... where next? Remember, covered up areas are places you have not visited yet.

"Well, there's this perfectly horrible passageway leading south...." Creat offers.

He'll grab the daggers unless anyone else needs a knife.

Valeros will shake out the banded mail vigorously and make sure all the connections are sound before donning it. Unless there are any objections.

OF COURSE he takes a drink before he does that, and is grimacing a bit at first until he realizes that it's not as bad as it looked on the outside.

"Not so bad, don't think. Anyone not have a dagger that needs one? And I think we should continue checking out this corner of the place before heading back to work on those trapped places, then?"

Tyranius grunts in agreement as Valeros leads the way. We already left too many surprises at our back in this place.

The party decides to head down the hallway and find it branches off in many directions.

On the South West corner...

Dirt and rubble surround a hole in the wall of this alcove. Within, a rough-hewn tunnel leads off into darkness. Two picks and a shovel lie on the floor in front of the hole.

There also a door on the South hall of the hallway to the East, and if you look to the other hallway that connects off of that, there's 6 more doors, 3 on each side.

"Someone's been digging... who, and for what?"

Ray casts some dancing lights and sends them into the hole, to see what's in there.

Valeros will move to guard Ray as he does the whole 'magic light checking out the freshly dug hole thing'.

"Not sure, but if that goes to anywhere in the city, this place has more holes in it than some parts of Riddleport..."

Ray casts some dancing lights into the passageway and it looks like it goes on for a little while.
