[PFS] Deepmarket Deception Table "B" (Inactive)

Game Master Awenydd83

GM DevilDoc, I think you need to roll a D100 on every attack to check a miss chance because of the concealment (blessing). It works on everyone of us for next 8 rounds... except me, alas.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Religion: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Oh. Ok...

Not knowing why his companion cried out in pain, Kaleb begins to frantically spin his scythe and say terrible chants about the horrors of the coming retribution of Heavens. 'Verily I say unto you!...'

Intimidate: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22
(DC = 10 + Hit Dice + Wisdom modifier, all foes within 30 feet who can see it)

Kaleb can you 5ft step so I can charge or did you use your move already

-Posted with Wayfinder

Fort Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Pretty much gonna take me out of this fight as I'm probably going to withdraw.

assuming Kaleb 5ft steps, Phantom will charge the blue rat.

atk: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

dmg: 1d10 + 10 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 10 + (6, 5) = 27

With a powerful swing he attempts to bring down one of the rats.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Yep, 5ft step - done. Also, I think the wizard on the top can be the biggest problem...

forgot perception

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

what wizard

-Posted with Wayfinder

Any opinion on whether I should engage the wizard or the ratperson on Zal?

2 Phantomblade:

One wall is covered with maps and plans, and at the far end of the room, a female ratfolk stands with a human wizard.

2 Valjoen - I'd say it's our luck that wizard didn't act yet and we must use it. Maybe I'll try to deal with those who attacked Zal on the next round? If I will be able to notice them, of course .)

"Umm... this shadow is... oh I feel so weak. It's incorporeal, so you gotta use magic weapons."

It's the shadow that's the real problem for me. The problem I'm having is that my strength has tanked, and I'm poisoned that may confuse me. On my next turn, I'm probably going to run so I don't become a danger to the party. Unless this shadow can be taken out, I'm not sure what else to do in this battle as one more attack from the shadow is permadeath. If you feel you can put a good chunk of the shadow away, I may be able to magic missile it away, but it would take a lot of damage to convince me of that. :p

Miss rat: 1d100 ⇒ 27
Miss Shadow: 1d100 ⇒ 84
Good call, notated now on list below, but both strikes hit.

Kaleb calls upon his gods to strike fear into the hearts of his enemies, and it is successful to varying degrees. All except for the shadow feels fear enter their hearts and hands..

Zalkuthar fights off the poison, but still feels the unholy creatures effect as his strength fails him.

Phantomblade decides that there has not been enough steel in this conversation so far, and decapitates on of the surprise visitors!

Zalkuthar: I truly did not realize your strength was so low when I made that attack.. I was certainly not trying to tko you like that..

Do not worry about that. I have low strength, I take the consequences. The bad guys don't know that either. :p

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 Nope, no clue about the female ratfolk.

Valjoen races up the stairs and brings his blade to bear upon the caster.

"You picked the wrong time to waggle a finger at us... To the depths of hell, I will send you!"

Valjoen brings his greatsword down on the caster and draws a mighty cry of pain and anger from the man. "I will meet you there!" he spits back..

He then steps back and casts a short spell.. and ends with a blindingly fiery ray of electricity arcing out from his hands at Valjoen.
Dragons Breath: 7d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 2, 3, 5, 4, 1) = 26

The remaining scoundrel moves next to Tseka.. in fact, they almost seem to share the same space..
Swarming: ratfolk trait. Occupy same square, gain flanking bonuses.

It lashes out at Valjoen as he nears his mistress, but he can't seem to see clearly through the shadows concealing him.

The other ratfolk lashes out as well, to even worse results.

how high is the platform

-Posted with Wayfinder

Phantomblade. It doesn't say, so I am going off the idea that it is, at most, a few feet high and in no way a hinderance.
Valjoen manages to evade the majority of the damage leveled his direction.

Zalkuthar withdraws from the action, but promises his companions that he is not abandoning them.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 - 2 = 9

The female in the shadows doesn't even come close enough to Kaleb to ruffle his cloak, but her companion trails ghostly fingers through his armour, sapping his strength.

The touch of dark icy fingers and the ensuing weakness instilled anger and determination in Kaleb's heart.

'Heavens! I have one chance to slay that monster! Hear me!'

His weapons again erupted intimidating sepulchral light...

Scythe: 1d20 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 3 = 302d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 = 8
Confirm?: 1d20 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 3 = 306d4 + 12 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1) + 12 = 22

Because it's incorporeal I think it's a 19 dmg (or 10 if the second misses)

(actions: swift - sacred weapon (keen), full round action - 2 attacks (via haste)

Phantomblade steps in and silences the other scoundrel, leaving one ratfolk standing before him.

Kaleb turns and deals a vicious blow to the Shadow, but it doesn't seem to do quite as much damage as it should.
You are correct.. incorporeal, so you only do half damage, but both attacks hit, and the crit confirmed.

Guys! One more touch from this shadow and I'll withdraw too .) Need some help!

I don't have a magical weapon. I can cast on it next round. But I think I need to get the wizard down first.

5' step then full attack. Targeting the wizard first then the ratfolk if he goes down on first hit.

Heroic Power Atk w/ Greatsword: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32 for slashing damage of : 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (2, 4) + 13 = 19

Valjoen continues his bloody rampage through his enemies, his first strike finally gutting the wizard, and his second leaving a long and bloody gash on the female standing next to him. His bloody rage continues to cause his foes to quake in their boots..
Map updated

The ratfolk fades back from Phantomblade, and turns to engage Valjoen with a cry born of fear and desperation. Her fear rules her though, and the blade comes nowhere even close to the raging man.

Hrm, can't make it all the way back, but feel I need to be closer just in case.

Move Action
Zalkuthar gets closer to the battle, but not too close.

Standard Action
He casts Shield of Faith on himself. Modified his stat line for it.

REMEMBER: HASTE and HEROISM (+3 on attack rolls, +2 on fort/will saves, +3 on reflex saves, +1 dodge bonus to AC, +2 on skill checks, extra attack on full attack, +30 ft. movement speed (up to double movement))

Kaleb: I just realized you last attack had your full strength bonuses added in. Please remember to adjust until your damage is healed.

Zalkuthar prepares to return to the battle, casting a spell to help him out.

The hidden rat lady jumps at Kaleb, but once again, he doesn't even feel the breeze, the swing was so wide.
Attack: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 - 2 = 16
Stealth: 1d20 + 20 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 20 - 2 = 34

The Shadow is a different story, though, its spectral claws providing searing agony as they drain away Kalebs strength..
Incorporeal touch: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Str Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Sorry! My mistake! With a correct Str it will be 12 dmg!

Feeling unbearable pain and weakness and knowing that he now will come to an end, Kaleb bypasses the shadow in a wide arc and retreats into the corridor.

Withdraw...

Phantom will move up and swing on the last rat

atk: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

dmg: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

crit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

crit dmg: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

5' Step then cast Snowball.

Valjoen steps down from the platform and hurls a ball of ice and snow infused with the reageant known as urea at the Shadow.

Snowball; Vs. Touch AC: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 = 18 for cold damage of : 5d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 6, 6, 2, 3) + 5 = 24

Kaleb retreats, while Phantomblade fells the last of the visible rats with another brutal swipe of his lethal blade.
Valjoen then turns his eye towards the shadow, launching a ball of ice and snow at it. The shadow is limned in frost and almost looses cohesiveness, but manages to hold itself together.

With more blades at hand, you should be able to shed some light on this problem......

Just curious if the Shadow should have more damage. 19 was on it before, and Valjoen just did 12, so that should be 31 right? I'm only asking because Zalkuthar is about to do something stupid. XD

Move Action
Zalkuthar moves up where he can see a sliver of the shadow.

Standard Action
He casts Magic Missile at the shadow.
Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3, 4) + 3 = 14 - Force Damage

Swift Action
He snaps back using his Shift ability slightly into the hallway.

REMEMBER: HASTE and HEROISM (+3 on attack rolls, +2 on fort/will saves, +3 on reflex saves, +1 dodge bonus to AC, +2 on skill checks, extra attack on full attack, +30 ft. movement speed (up to double movement))

The 19 was reduceeed to 12 to reflect the strength damage from Kaleb. He rolled his attack at his full strength modifiers instead taking into account his strength damage. The spell from Valjoen did 24 dmg, but was reduced by half, leaving another 12 and a total of 24 dmg.

Zalkuthar sends several missiles of force straight into the shadow, and it seems to have a full effect on the creature! It is struggling to hold cohesiveness in the face of your concentrated onslaught!

The shadow dancer strikes outat Valjoen from the darkness, disappearing back into the shadows once more.
Attack: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 - 2 = 15
Stealth: 1d20 + 20 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 20 - 2 = 22

The shadow moves forwards, continuing its rampage against the heroes.. but it comes up just short this time.. Zalkuthars Haste spell allowing Valjoen to just dodge the claws.
Touch: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Str Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 3

As I don't have a magical weapon, Val will take 5' Step then cast Snowball again.

Valjoen steps back from the shadow and hurls another ball of ice and snow infused with the reageant known as urea at the Shadow.

Snowball; Vs. Touch AC: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 2 = 21 for cold damage of : 5d6 + 5 ⇒ (6, 3, 4, 4, 4) + 5 = 26

Valjoen dispatches the shadow with extreme prejudice, one last spell disintegrating the shadow completely.

No perception needed, I forgot to erase that in my copy and paste

Phantomblade slashes into the helpless woman, and Valjoen ends the fight with a calm and calculated decapitation. The two pieces of the woman fall to the flagstones, and silence rings through the chamber.

Now that you have time for a proper inspection of the room, you can see one whole wall covered in maps and diagrams, with an unsent missive sitting off to the side.

Knowledge (Local): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
Knowledge (Local): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Zalkuthar looks over the maps.

"This is bad. This is an architectural layout of Goka, and the sketch is the interior of the Lantern Lodge. There's also a detailed drawing of a multicolored tapestry here, but I don't quite know that that is."

Zalkuthar points. "...and see here. The initiative A.X. That is Adrius, who is a public face for the Aspis's patrons."

He looks at the badge carried by Tseka. "The gold Aspis Badge Tseka is carrying is a fake."

He casts Detect Magic around the room to make sure nothing is missed.

He will then start using his Wand of Lesser Restoration if needed.

"I say we get this information to the Lantern Lodge as soon as possible so we can prepare for what plans they may have conceived here"

Zalkuthar finds nothing else of interest in the room.

You load up the evidence and all that you need, and head back out of the complex. Shortly after exiting the old temple, a familiarly curious voice calls out from the darkness.
"I see you survived! What did you learn?" The pipefox moves out from the shadows and greets you along the path.

'Hey, Zalkuthar! I'd like to have a little... recovery.' - barely holding his scythe in his hands, Kaleb coming to the rest of the group.

Lesser Restoration (x3) (Kaleb): 3d4 ⇒ (3, 3, 2) = 8

"There we go. Feel much better."
