"Looks like we've found our man," Mohok observes, unhooking a silver-headed mace from his belt and wrapping both of his meaty hands around the grip. He darts up the courthouse steps and through the open door.
Do we have any idea how to administer the wolfsbane we got?
Mrachni Swordfollower |
"He may yet possess some reason," replies the scarred orc in his characteristic rumble. "We ought not be too hasty."
Inside!

The dark courtroom unfolds like a nightmare. A young woman, perhaps twenty, lies cold on the floor with her throat torn out. Across the room, a well-preserved older woman stands atop her bench, supporting a bleeding arm and swinging a ceremonial blade erratically. Four hulking mongrels, far too bulky and vicious-looking to be normal wild wolves, circle her makeshift tower.
Mohok: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Mrachni: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10
Rathira: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Kyra: 1d20 ⇒ 18
Bad Guys: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
The monstrous wolf-beasts rip and tear at the trapped judge. In doing so they show very not wolf-like behavior by rearing up to attack with their claws.

Extra Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Her ornamental weapon proving little use in actual combat, the older woman falls from the desk in a bloody heap. The wolves howl in triumph only to turn their attention toward the party.

Mrachni Swordfollower |
"Vilks!" calls Mrachni, looking around to see if any of the wolves respond. Hefting his silver mace, he glares at them all and waits for one to give a sign of recognition. Is that gonna work? :P
Mrachni Swordfollower |
Fine!
The orc growls softly. "I will see justice done, and you will assist me."
Can I retcon having my sord out instead of my mace? I forgotted that I can make it +3.
So saying, he swings his sword at the nearest of the uncooperative wolves.
Attack (sacred weppin): 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 1 = 29

Mohok |
Mohok casts a quick glance at his fellow half-orc. "Who are you talking to? Who's going to assist you, us?" he asks, his deep voice tinged with puzzlement. He shrugs and swings his mace in wide arcs at the wolf to his left.
Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 To be sure (or not) of what we're fighting.

Mohok is confident that these aren't cats.
Both orcs strikes the beasts attacking them but it's Rathira's bomb that causes them to yelp in pain and surprise. The smell of burning flesh and fur quickly fills the air.
The wolf-beasts circle the party and continue their attacks.

Mohok |
Mohok continues to swing powerfully at the wolves attacking him.
W4 first, then W2 if first one goes down.

Feral: I just noticed a typo in my attack rolls from last round. My first attack should have had a +12 attack bonus, not +17, if that affects whether I hit the wolf.
DM Feral |
That's not their reflex totals. I'm at the gym and don't have the mod with me. What's the DC?
That attack still hits Mohok. Their AC is pretty low.
With two mighty blows Mohok smashes a wolf's skull open killing it.
Rathira's second bomb blows a big hole in the wolf's side. It falls to the ground in a bloody burning heap.
Reflexes: 2d20 ⇒ (4, 17) = 21
Mrachni and Kyra are up.
Mrachni Swordfollower |
HP: 45/51
Mrachni grunts as a claw finds purchase, but takes the blow in stride and retaliates with the rhythm of an experienced warrior.

DM Feral |
Mrachni's sword catches one of the wolf-beasts deep in the shoulder bloodying it badly but not bringing it down.
Despite the party's deadly prowess the wolves attack again.

Mohok |
"Thanks, Kyra," Mohok says over his shoulder as the cleric heals him. "One thing's for sure, these are definitely not cats."
He brings his mace crashing down on another of the wolves. W2

Despite the severity of her injuries Judge Pradowca is resucitated by Kyra's healing magics. The older woman sputters as she regains consciousness, looking up at the armed strangers surrounding her in fear.
"What happened to the beasts? Who are all of you?" she demands with some amount of authority regardless of her near helpless state.
Mohok |
"We're Pathfinders," Mohok explains, "come to help sort out the trouble Vilks has caused, and save him if we can. As to the beasts, we killed them, before they could finish killing you." He gives her a moment to consider this, then asks "Have you seen Vilks? Do you know where we might find him?"
Mrachni Swordfollower |
Mrachni winces as the other orc mentions Pathfinders. We were told that she hates Pathfinders and was responsible for Vilks getting exiled in the first place... this might not be the best way to approach it.
Mohok |
Crap, I thought that was just Vilks' lover who felt that way - posting on my phone on the bus, made it hard to read back. I would gladly retroactively edit that statement, but will roll with it if need be.
DM Feral |
Vilks's bloody trail is easy enough to follow through the courthouse and leads to an open holding cell and a torn-open sewer grate.
The tight confines of the courthouse sewers eventually open into wider tunnels collecting effluence from the neighboring buildings. The putrid stink of human refuse mingles with a more natural stink of decomposition. Bubbles and ripples occasionally break the water’s surface, filling the chamber with a constant gurgle.
Mohok |
Mohok looks and listens for any immediate sign of Vilk’s presence, then turns his attention to the ground and walls, looking for footprints, scuff marks, any indication of where the man may have gone.
Perception, favored terrain (underground): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
Survival to track, favored terrain (underground): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26
DM Feral |
Vilk’s tracks are easy enough to follow in the wet sewer tunnels. What’s troubling is the strange singular trails crisscrossing the path like that created by some enormous slug.
Before Mohok can ponder the tracks further, their creator shows itself as an enormous orange-colored slime emerges from the sewage and lumbers toward the party.
Mohok: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Mrachni: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (6) + 0 = 6

The party is up. I'll get a map up shortly.
Mohok |
Caught ya, cheater!
Mohok moves down the narrow walkway, making room for the others to join the fight. He waits for the monstrous jelly to get in range, then smashes it with his mace.
Move to M10, ready action to smack it when it comes within reach.
Heavy Mace, PA: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 - 2 = 14

Rathira |
Rathira moves to M9 and readies an action to bomb the jelly when it gets in range.

I precisedly bomb and it has to make (and probably fail) the DC 18 to avoid burning. *evil grin
