PFS PbP GameDay IV: 7-03 The Bronze House Reprisal (Tier 5-9) (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

The keys unlock the door.

Shamak enters and taps the lad with his cure light wounds wand, grumbling. "Always the petty jobs..."

CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Davina draws her wand.

But necessary Shamak

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Shamak and Davina tap the man with their wands and the man opens his eyes. "Hey, who are you. You don't look like the others. Are you here to kill me?" the man asks while trying to sit upright.

Oriandor looks at Fenrik, then shakes his head no. "That wasn't on the agenda here. Who are you and why did you get beat up and tossed in this cell?"

"Yeah, why are you here?" asks almost rudely the stout half-orc.

"You piss off Sloan? What happened to you?" The archer smirks.

Can I use my earlier roll of 19 before he was conscious?

Speaking in a hushed voice to his companions Fenrik says "We dont even know his name, he could be dangerous, maybe that is why he is in here. He does not seem capable of answering our questions. let us leave him to his own fate."

"My name is Jardan Viskeni. The last thing I remember is that I saw someone who looked like me before blacking out. I have no idea why I'm here." the man answers.

"Oh, that's odd. And what do you do in life? Merchant? We sure aren't here to hurt you. We already healed you from your wounds, that would be silly of us to waste it."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

"Someone who looked like you?" Kargen takes a second look at the man's face. "Like someone was going to impersonate you?"

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Knowledge, local: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Does he resemble anyone Kargen might know?

"I'm a servant." the man answers. "I have no idea why somebody should want to imporsonate me. My life is not interesting at all." Jardan ansers.

At a closer look Kargen recognizes the man. He looks like one of the servants of Heidmarch Manor.

"Heidmarch Manor? As in Shiela Heidmarch, the VC?" Kargen snaps his fingers. "That's where I've seen you! You gathered us all together to start this mission! We were brought Heidmarch Manor to meet with her by your invitation."

Kargen has a surprised look on his face as he works through the implications. "So that means Sloan's spy has known all along that we would be here. That the Pathfinders were onto his operation."

"Maybe someone needed to take your place. Tell us more about what you were doing?"

"Well this just got stranger...ok then, are we taking him with us? We could be discovered at any minute. What is the plan?"

"I work a lot for Venture-Captain Heidmarch herself. I'm usually responsible for delivering letters, welcoming Pathfinder agents and prepare tea or snacks for her. But I don't remember you, maybe you met with her after my kidnapping." Jardan answers.

He does not have more to contribute, but he's willing to testify about his kidnapping making him another "evidence".

"Woah, let's hurry back to Heidmarch's manor, then. This spy must be put to safety! Can you stand?" asks the big half-orc to the servant.

Kargen nods. "This makes things more dire. Let's get out of here quickly. Back the way we came and then out the courtyard. Quickly now!"

"Yes let's hurry!

Leaving the others to care for the man, Fenrik takes the lead and moves (if possible) back to the initial door they team used to enter this side of the complex.
moved him on the map to the door in question- let me know if he can get that far

*Bump* :)

Based on the map, it doesn't look like we're getting out clean...

:/ I posted a long update yesterday (including initiative and all), which seems to have disappeared. I'll try again tonight...

"Where do you think you are going? Who are you? Do you think a bunch of people searching the rooms remain undetected?" a female half-elf asks. With her are two guardians.

The half-elf woman throws a thunderstone on the floor and orders her guardians to attack.

Round 1

Davina
Tytus
Oriandor

Relieved to use his beloved falchion, Shamak draws his weapon and shouts "Meet your death, human!"

Right after these words, he begins to growl louder and louder!

Inspire courage, +2 hit/dmg and +1 against charm and fear effects.

Fenrik charges at the lady and takes a swing at her...
Adm ADS: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 2 = 18..DMG: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

On one hand, I think it probably would have been more prudent to simply run.

But on the other, Fenrik has been good and not stabbed anyone yet...

Looks like I forgot...

Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 Nope

Nearly one week without posting. Are you still there, GM?

While Shamak growls louder and louder Fenrik takes a swing at the half-elf woman, but she easily dodges the attempt to hit her.

Elysi grips her shortsword firmly and swings it at Fenrik, but she also misses.
Elysi vs. Fenrik: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

One of the guardians also attacks Fenrik.
Slam vs. Fenrik left: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Slam vs. Fenrik right: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Davina
Tytus
Oriandor

Kargen races out the door and turns left, running down the side of the building, while Fenrick is distracting the Aspis. He turns back to face the enemies, filled with a righteous rage. "What Sloan has done is horrible! Not just stealing trinkets, he kidnapped a person!" He nocks an arrow and fires it at the first guard.

Swift Action: Activate Justice Judgement. Attack Red.
Attack (DA, PBS, Judgement): 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 25
Damage (DA, PBS): 1d8 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 1 = 10

Kargen shoots an arrow at the other guardian and hits, altough the arrow does not cause as much damage as it should have. assuming the arrow was a normal one

Round 1 & 2

Kargen growls at the arrow's effect. He glares at the guardian and the woman.

Knowledge, Arcana, take 10: 10 + 6 + 2 = 18
Knowledge, Local, take 10: 10 + 6 + 2 = 18

Davina mutters a spell.

"Let's hurry out!"

Bless +1 to hit

Drinking an extract Tytus transforms into an gargoyle.
Monstrous physique I

Fenrik spends a move action to study the female and attacks once more...
ADS+Studied+ Inspire+Bless: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 11 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 28..DMG: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 13
and then seeing that he is alone facing the three of them Fenrik calls out for his companions...whilst taking a 5 ft to his diagonal left allowing others to engage if desired...

Kn Arcana to identify guardians: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Kn Local to identify woman class: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Oriandor curses his luck. "Slow them down and let's get out of here!"

He moves to the courtyard entrance summons a snowball, tossing the frigid sphere at the woman.

Snowball ranged touch @ Woman: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Cold damage on hit: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 1, 1, 3) = 11
DC 16 Fort save or staggered 1 round
Crit confirm: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Extra damage on crit : 5d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 1, 6, 3) = 16

hope that doesn't kill her!

As Shamak growls, he includes arcane words in the song and grows angrier! He quickly strides into battle, preparing to strike!

Casting Rage. It only affects me.

Davina casts a spell while Tytus drinks a transformation extract. Oriandor thinks that the woman is an investigator, but has really long arms. The guardians are angelic guardians, constructs. He throws a snowball at the Elysi, but the snowball has also ice shards in it so the hit on the head leaves a critical wound. Shamak casts another spell.
Fort DC16: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Badly wounded the half-elf woman tries to get away, leaving her guardians to slow you down. withdraw action and unless somebody moves as fast as 60ft. per round I think she gets away

The guardian with blue shiny eyes suddenly opens its mouth and a line of fire hits Shamak, Oriandor and Tytus. 60-ft.-line
Damage: 6d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 3, 5, 1, 4) = 22
DC13 for half damage
1d4 ⇒ 4

My arrows can go 60 feet a round...

made me lose my drink

Well, she withdraws and moves her full 120ft., she has a base speed of 60ft., i stated it wrong above, sorry, and she moves into the entrance hall and out through the front door.

Kargen shoots an arrow at the guardian with the red helmet and hits. The guardian steps closer to Kargen and tries to hit him with his fist, but misses.
Slam vs. Kargen: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Tytus & Shamak, don't forget the Reflex saves

Save ref: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 Seriously?

Shamak takes the full blast of fire on his face, as he's too affected by the rage and his song to dodge anything. He maintains his song and moves to hit the construct before him but fails to hit him.

+1 Cold Iron Falchion Power Attack, IC, Rage: 1d20 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 3 = 13 Are you kidding me?
for Slashing (Magical/Cold Iron): 2d4 + 13 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3) + 13 + 3 = 21

Fenrik spends a move action to study the construct and then attacks with his adamantine weapon...

ADS+Studied+Inspire: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 2 + 2 = 30..DMG: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 + 2 = 15

edited for IC

Fenrick, Inspire Courage is still up :) +2 at/dmg

Davina moves and starts casting a spell.

summon monster III, use my standard action

"Let's hurry if we can! Kill the creatures!

Just realized something... if she used the withdraw action to escape, then that means she doesn't have a move action to open doors, unless those doors were already open. Likewise, if that's the case, nothing stopping us from running out expeditiously :)

you are absolutely right, I wanted to safe you some time, but....

The half-elf woman rushes to the door and opens it. still no Aoos for you

GM as****le mode on...

and btw, there are three guards on duty in the entrance hall, two guardians in the gardens and two guards in the backyard, guess who tries to stop you...

I edited the map, if you want to redo your actions, please do that...
