PFS Gameday V Ward Asunder

Game Master Vahanian 89

Balinor adjusts his grip on his greatsword to hold it with just his right hand as he pulls an alchemist's fire with his left.

Just in case, he thinks to himself.

"Let's keep moving, but with caution," he says to the group. Then, realizing that everyone would already know to be cautious, he mentally chastises himself for saying needless things before offering, "I'll take point," and moving/keeping himself at the front of the group.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

You are on the map but i forgot to place you. If you want to place yourselves feel free otherwise i will tonight after works.

"Sounds fine to me."

Kelson follows a bit behind Balinor.

The next room.

The shelves carved into the walls of this small building are lined with bottles and vials of many sizes. A faint scent of incense hangs in the air.

If anyone is detecting magic there is magic in this room. Also perception checks.

Bones looks around using detect magic.

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Omar likewise scans the area for anything with a clue.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

See anything, Bones?

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24 (+3 vs traps, +2 vs being surprised)

Balinor trusts the magic detecting to his allies and keeps his eyes out for any threats to his party.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

There is magic. Quite alot actually.

Stuff: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Everyone also notices 3 beings skulking in the next room and they attack!

Round 1
Omar
Seelah
Bal
BG
Bones
Kelson

Omar starts a song of inspiration and then draws his greatsword as he moves 20' south.

"Rock them! ."

Eh, GM? I'm missing in the turn order...

Balinor moves forward 15 feet and readies himself prepared action to attack any foes who try to move in and attack any members of his party.

Round 1
Omar
Hugh
Seelah
Bal
BG
Bones
Kelson

Hugh rushes into the next room with a token attempt at ducking and weaving. Tumbling at full speed.

Acrobatics vs CMD+10 if the bad guy can take an AoO: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
AC 26 against a potential AoO due to Mobility.

He then delivers a devious stab, aiming for the ribs.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Damage (piercing, magic, silver): 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 +Sneak Attack: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 6) = 14
I'll also use the Debilitating Injury ability to disorient the bad guy: -2 on attack rolls, -4 on attacks against Hugh.

Crit confirm: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Extra damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Hugh scores a huge hit on the one in blue! They attack!

The one in black moves up to Hugh and attacks!

Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 2 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

The one in blue strikes out 3 times then steps back!

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 = 21

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Crit confirm: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16

The red one steps out and sends a ray at Balinor!

Touch Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 2, 1) = 15

Round 1

Seelah
Bal [-15]
BG [Blue -22]
Bones
Kelson

Kelson breaks out in a rousing song of Andoran freedoms.

bard song +2

Bones moves out of the shelf room into the archway then cast prayer {link}

giving all his allies a +1 luck bonus to rolls, and all foes -1 luck.

Balinor moves forward towards his foe and attacks feeling the encouragement from the bard and cleric flowing through him like a rush of adrenaline. However, rather than roaring out a mighty battle cry, he instead calls out, "I could use some heals!"

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
Damage: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (1, 5) + 10 = 16

*EDIT: attack and damage should each be one higher. I forgot about the raging song when I plugged in the numbers. Didn't want to change them in the post as that would unfairly reroll them. Should be 15 and 17

Omar hears Balinor's cries for help and heads south to try and press the attack so Balinor can finish the foe or fall back for healing.

I am with you, brother Balinor!

MW greatsword, bard, song, prayer : 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 13
for dmg : 2d6 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2, 5) + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 17

Although his swing is somewhat less than he had hoped.

Kelson begins to sing and Bones to pray. Balinor moves to attack but cant hit the reptilian man, nor can Omar!

Round 2
Omar
Hugh [-20]
Seelah
Bal [-15]
BG [Blue -22]

Hugh darts into cover behind the foe next to him, attempting to dodge any blow that might come his way.

Acrobatics, tumble: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
AC 26 vs any potential AoO.

He then gives the recipient of his last stab another one for her troubles.

Attack, prayer: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 1 = 23
Damage, prayer (piercing, magic, silver): 1d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 = 11

The one in blue goes down under Hughs knife! Seelah is up

The one in green steps back and sends a ray at Balinor!
Touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 6, 3) = 12

Who goes down under the blow!

The one in black attacks Hugh!
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Round 2

BG [Blue -22]
Bones
Kelson

Kelson moves and fires his bow at green and keeps singing

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Bones moves up to Balinor and cast cure serious wounds on him using the spell energy from his memorized dispel magic.

cure serious wounds on Bal: 3d8 + 5 ⇒ (2, 3, 8) + 5 = 18

remember Paryer +1 to allies -1 to foes is still in effect

"Thanks, Bones," Balinor calls out as he stands and picks up his ancestral greatsword.

Great job protecting your allies, Balinor berates himself. Gotta do better than that. Can't let them down.

And with that, he steps forward towards the caster.

Can't attack this round as it took two move actions to get back up, so at least I can make myself a target to allow others to take these guys down.

Omar smiles as he sees Balinor recover and stand.

Bones, the timing of your healing is excellent. Balinor, lets take it to them!

Sorry i havent been on much this week. I had a family emergence and forgot to take my surface when i left in a rush. Im really sorry!

Kelson misses the monk in green!

Round 3

Omar continues his battle song while stepping forward to hack at the green garbed thug.

MW greatsword, bard, song, prayer : 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 13
for dmg : 2d6 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3, 5) + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 18

But his swing ends with the exact swish-and-a-miss as last time.

Not entirely happy with facing off with a foe by his lonesome, Hugh non-the-less gives the woman a good stabbing!

Attack, prayer, inspire courage: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 1 + 2 = 29
Damage, prayer, inspire courage: 1d6 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 10

Crit confirm: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
Extra damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

He then retreats cautiously.

Tumbling 10 feet south.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

Balinor, feeling refreshed from Bones' healing and encouraged by Omar's words and his and Kelson's songs, steps up further and takes a swing at their foe.

Greatsword, prayer, skald,bard: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 12

As he swings, and once again, misses, Balinor thinks discouragingly to himself, Great job. Way to impress everyone.

Hugh hits but does not confirm! Balinor and Omar both miss!

The other one steps back and sends a ray at Omar!

Touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

The one by Hugh attacks again!

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Round 3
Omar
Hugh [-45]
Seelah DELAY
Bal [-9]
BG [Blue -22]
Bones
Kelson

Hugh gasps as he is wounded and struggles to stay conscious.

can I touch Hugh around the corner? if so I use a CLW wand and touch his foot or something

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Hugh, and other, remember if you accepted the rage song you have your level in extra hp from +2 CON

Stand strong good Hugh! We have the better of them.

Posting ahead since heading to work and evening event at kids school

Omar will cease his rage song (it persists another 3 rounds), as he steps over to flank with Balinor

MW greatsword, bard, song, prayer : 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 19
for dmg : 2d6 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 17

Bones cast a cure moderate spell using the energy from his delay poison magic, and holds the charge long enough to step up and touch Hugh healing him further.

cure Moderate wounds on Hugh: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 6) + 5 = 15

If only Bones was more charismatic, his fellow priest would have taught him how to selectively Chanel, but alas they never invited to join in the channeling games.

Thanks for the reminder about the raging song HP!

Balinor takes advantage of the flank from Omar hoping that, combined, they can bring down their foe, and perhaps Balinor can redeem himself in the eyes of his comrades who have seen him fail to defend them.

Greatsword, prayer, skald, bard, flank: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 29
Damage: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 23

If Omar's prior hit fells the foe, Balinor would use his 20' of mvmt to move up to the blue floe and strike without flank

Also remember you will lose 6hp in two rounds when the song ends

NOW that is how to do it, Balinor!

Thats fine Kelson

The remaning monk charges Hugh!

Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 2 = 18

kelson tabs Hugh again.

Bones is up!

Sorry, I though I had already acted this round if not.

Bones attacks the monk with his warhammer.

+1 warhammer: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
damage if hits: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Balinor moves forward to help Bones. The cleric had healed him when he'd needed it and there was no way he would let that kindness go unrewarded.

Greatsword, prayer, skald, bard: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 26
Damage: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 19

Omar will double time it to the side door to prevent the thug from escaping.

Now we got you right where we want you!

With the invigorating healing energies flowing through his body, Hugh feels brave enough to cautiously move past the last foe.

Acrobatics, tumble, double move: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Balinor neatly decapitates the final foe. His head is barely still on the floor when.

Surrounded by fierce whirling winds, an athletic woman of living stone appears atop the head of the massive serpentine statue. In a booming telepathic voice, she declares, “For over a thousand years I’ve stood vigil over the procession that leads up to this temple. I was watching you while you walked the Pilgrim’s Path. Everything you faced along the way was a test of your abilities and your character. But the test is not over— answer my questions and face my judgment!”

“Who are you and why are you here?”

You can attempt to bluff, diplomacy, Knowledge (geography or local)or Perform (oratory) to explain yourselves. Also put in a bit about why you are here.

Knowledge (Local): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Opting for the truth, Hugh steps forward.

"We are Pathfinders, seekers of secrets, and we have come here to see what the legendary sorceress Hao Jin left behind when she took a part of the temple into her tapestry."

"Yes as my friend said we're looking for what Hao Jin left"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

k(local): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Bones shrugs "There not much to add other than we have with us the spirit of one kami who was transported with the stolen half of the temple. It's been a long journey for him to return here."
