PFS PbP Gameday 3: #4-18 The Veteran's Vault (lvl 1-5) (Inactive)

Game Master Revvy Bitterleaf

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11know nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 "This did not grow wild ...this was purposefully grown."

"Interesting Woonsul, do you know what type of plants these are or what they might be used for?"

"Those guys came from the pipes maybe they planted it? Maybe we should attempt to question them after all?

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
and Mark is not knowledgable, but he hopes his allies are and can tell him.

So how do we get past them? Fire?

"I don't like the looks of this," Therbin says as he scans the scene.

Can you aid another on perception?

Aid perception (Evad): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16 Therbin trys to point something out to Evad he may have missed.

Based on the large red "H", I'm assuming we cant go around this.

Revvy let me know if I'm allowed to use Therbin's aid. If so that gives me a 25.

So how do we get past them? Fire?

Mark responds by being quiet and moving forward. He uses sign language to say sleeping, don't wake it up.

He will then move 30 feet, but only 15 at a time to make his stealth effective. He takes one last quick look too before he heads in, for traps and whatnot.

perception: 8 + 1d20 ⇒ 8 + (1) = 9
stealth: 7 + 1d20 ⇒ 7 + (20) = 27 for the first 15 feet
stealth: 7 + 1d20 ⇒ 7 + (7) = 14 for the next 15 feet.
I see the large H, but really the entire square isn't being taken up, it occupies that space, but doesn't take up every square inch is what I'm getting at and there are places to put my feet, not sure if going by it is allowed or not, as I'm trying to move by it without even touching it.

Edit: Just in case acrobatics is needed to move by it without touching it, here it is. acro: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (10) = 12

@Evad, yeah you can use it. ..it get's a bit iffy to add stuff later when rolls are known already..but due to the nature of pbp you either benefit from hindsight or you get punished by not being able to use it most of the time.

@Mark..the fungal growth isn't the H ..it's the red outline (which has the H inside of it)..which does take up the entire wide of the corridor

Since it might influence what Mark has done if he knows that he has to move _through_ the fungal growth and Evad with some help has additional information I'm fine with you guys deciding to take a different action. And just so you know..I'll be away from a computer most of tomorrow so my update might be a bit late

it does change his action, so I moved him back.

Mark silently signals for all the ranged attackers to fire at once.
They will all silently count to 3 on fingers and all surprise round at once.
hit: 5 + 1d20 ⇒ 5 + (12) = 17
dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 6 piercing

Seeing Mark indicate a plan of action, Therbin moves into the corner for a better angle to fire and pulls out his bow. Before taking aim, he focuses on his bow, transfering some of his innate magical power to the bow and then fires on Mark's mark.

Use Arcane Pool: +1 to bow. 9 rounds remaining.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Haro watch his two friends in bewilderment. Unsure on what to do, he watches an gets ready for another tentacle monster to attack him.
Ready action encase of attack. Haro will attack back.

As Evad studies the area, Therbin points to a point in the strange growth. Suddenly Evad sees it. He quietly relays it to the others.

"Look in the middle of the fungi; it looks like some kind of plant creature; see the thick mushroom cap it looks like mismatched eyes and below that an overlarge maw set with pale fungal teeth. It seems to be resting in the middle of the fungi."

After seeing Mark's signal he touches Jenya pistol.
Gozreh, may this weapon strike like a storm
The weapon begins to glow with a blue spark.

Cast Storm Strike Blessing on Jenya weapon, it grants an additional 1d4 electricity damage per hit for 1 minute.

Jenya nods at Evad. Thanks for the charge. and then moves up to get within 20 feet of the plant as her surprise round action. If you wanna coordinate she remarks to Mark. You might want to wait until we all get into range first so we can fire together.

Is it okay if Jenya moved up on Mark's three count so she can participate in the surprise round?

Once the creature is seen by Evad, Woonsul tries to figure out what it is. Know Nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

I'm assuming we all moved into position and then fired simultaneously. I just included my attack roll in my post so as to not slow down the game.

Yes, you could have moved up before attacking..also just so you guys know....you could have used diplomacy here (again) to talk your way through, all though attacking is off course always an option

Woonsul manages to remember that the thing in the middle of the fungus is a fungus leshey..some sort of walking mushroom...and some of the other plants around it are xtabays, patch of vines is ornamented with beautiful crimson and violet flowers, the petals of which seem to bear tiny faces. A plant that's been known to release sleep inducing spores.

Init Jenya: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Init Evad: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Init Haro: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

You guys - at Marks indication - move forward and unleash an attack on the unsuspecting plant creature

Mark's arrow hit it
Therbin's arrow misses it
Haro get's ready to fight back if he get's attacked
Evad enchantes Jeyna's weapon to deal lightning damage on a hit

Surprise round
Jenya, Woonsul
Regular round
Jenya, Haro, Mark, Therbin
Leshy
Evad
Xtabay

(if your name is bold you can take the actions as indicated)

Damage Leshy: 6

Jenya moves to within 20 feet of the plant and fires twice reloading with a paper cartridge in between shots. Point blank shot on touch : 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 261d8 + 1 + 1d4 ⇒ (8) + 1 + (4) = 13

Point blank shot on touch : 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 101d8 + 1 + 1d4 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (2) = 7

Her pistol jams on the second shot.

[b]"Do please beware the flowers. Their spores can put a humanoid to sleep." Woonsul tries to sling a stone at the creature. ranged attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3 and moves back.

I kind of figured diplomacy was an option, though we would need a nat 20 to probably succeed, as well as everyone successfully aiding.

Haro, Mark, and Therbin, you guys are up to make your regular round attacks I think

Haro moves up and attacks the plant in the middle. All the time hoping that it doesn't have tentacles.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 91d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Therbin frowns as Haro moves up to attack the creature since he no longer has a clear shot. He then lowers his bow as he casts a spell and sends a globe of acid at the vines.

Ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 4 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 - 4 - 4 = 5
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

hit me with your best shot, hit me with your best shot. Fire away!

hit: 5 + 1d20 ⇒ 5 + (2) = 7 as he fires another arrow.
dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 1 piercing

Sorry for the delay..some computer issues..which ate my last post

Jenya's bullet rips through the creatures mushroom like head and sprays goo everywhere before her gun jams

I'll assume all remaining attacks go for the other creatures from now on

Woonsul manages to hit one of the plants

Haro moves forward, relieved to find out that the plants don't attack him as he appraoches..but then Haro fails to hit the plant he's aiming for (doesn't hit flatfooted ac)

Therbin and Mark fire into the garden but both their attacks fail to hit one of the moving plants

init
Evad
Xtabays
You guys again

Damage green: 3

Haro takes a 5" step to his right and attacks the center creature again with a flurry of blows.

A1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 101d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
A2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 241d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Evad moves forward and attacks the strange plants and attempts to pull them out from the roots.

Move forward 20 ft and attack Blue with Unarmed Strike

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Still waiting on Evad and then the plant's act Haro

Evad moves forward and punches one of the plant like creatures in...the face? or something on top of it's body at least.

Two of the creatures move some of their tendrils towards Haro and try to sting him

To hit AC Haro: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (13) + 0 = 13
To hit AC Haro: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (2) + 0 = 2
To hit AC Haro: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (6) + 0 = 6
To hit AC Haro: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (18) + 0 = 18
The first one doesn't manage to hit..and the second one only manage to hit with it's last attack ..using the previous attacks to set up Haro to where he wanted him to go

Damage Haro: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 = 1 non-lethal damage and ]dice=1d2] acid damage

The one Evad punched releases a cloud of spores

DC 14 will save for Evad and Haro or fall asleep

init
You guys (with Haro's action already taken..which will take place if he makes his save and doesn't fall asleep)
Xtabays

Damage green: 3
Damage blue: 7

Jenya clears the jam from her misbehaving pistol and reloads it. Can't fire this round she warns her companions.

SA Quick Clear, MA reload with paper cartridge

fire at the green one: 5 + 1d20 ⇒ 5 + (2) = 7
dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 1 piercing

Is this considered magical sleep? If so, Evad's elven immunities would make me immune to the effect. If not, I'll go ahead and role my save just in case.

Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Hope it is considered magical otherwise nap time.

If Haro falls asleep, I will move up to shake him awake, otherwise:

Despite his companions in melee, Therbin tries to get a globe of acid to hit the creature.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 - 4 - 4 = 2
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Haro's eyes start to grow heavy. He drops his staff onto the floor and quickly follows it. When Therbin wakes Haro up, he grabs his staff and stands up. If haro is standing in the water... wouldn't the act of falling into the water wake him up?

Jenya reloads her gun

While Mark fires an arrow over the plants....it lands a bit further away in the sewer water

@Evad, it's not magical sleep (but like other sleep you can be slapped awake by an adjacent character as a standard action)

Evand and Haro fall over, sleeping

Therbin moves forward and shakes Haro awake, Haro then attacks in a flurry of attacks from the floor and manages to hit once

NPC-ing Woonsul in
Woonsul goes full on the defensive

Both plants on the outside try to hit Haro while he's down

To hit prone Haro AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
To hit prone Haro AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
To hit prone Haro AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
To hit prone Haro AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

but the flurry or tentacle attacks miss Haro

The middle of the plants releases some more spores
(DC 14 will save for Haro and Therbin (And Evad..but he's asleep already)

init
You guys
Plants

Damage green: 3
Damage blue: 7

Moving back to within 20 foot range Jenya shoots at the green plant.

Point blank on touch with up close and deadly and shock: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 181d8 + 1 + 1d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 1 + (4) + (3) = 15

Mark will fire at green. hit: 5 + 1d20 ⇒ 5 + (8) = 13
dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 8 piercing

will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Haro sneezes as the plants attack him with their pollen again. "No. Not bed time."

He attacks the middle one again with a flurry of blows.
A1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
A2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Evad dreams of crashing waves...

...zzzzz

Therbin looks up as a cloud of spores engulfs him.

Will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Wrinkling his nose, he quickly wipes his face with his hand as he takes a step back and sends another globe of acid at the vines.

Ranged touch attack (blue): 1d20 + 4 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 4 - 4 = 11

Does a prone Evad offer cover? If not, attack should be 15.

Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Jenya fires her gun at one of the plants and it explodes all over the rest of the garden

Mark fires another arrow , originally going for the one that Jenya killed and has some trouble adjusting to a new target and misses due to the fact that there are some party members standing in the way

Haro resists the urge to fall asleep again in a flurry of attacks (from the ground - still hasn't gotten up) manages to take down another plants..all though he's hitting them at an odd angle

Evad snores

@Therbin, I'm not 100% sure..but it seems he should give less cover then when he would be standing..which means that you hit

Therbin resists the spores as well and fires some acid at the plant and finds out that some sort of slime coating the plants keep acid from effecting it.

The last plant tries to hit the prone Haro
To hit prone Haro: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
To hit prone Haro: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
and it manages to get one of it's tendrils to hit
damage Haro: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0 = 1 non lethal damage and 1d3 ⇒ 3 acid damage

Too speed things up a bit, Woonsul will go fully on the defensive for now

init
You guys
Xtabay

Damage blue:7

While Woonsul is on full defense, Evad goes into full REM.

Haro stood up after he was woken up.

will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Haro's eyes start to grow heavy. He drops his staff onto the floor and quickly follows it. When Therbin wakes Haro up, he grabs his staff and stands up. If haro is standing in the water... wouldn't the act of falling into the water wake him up?

Haro sees the remining plant. He goes into a full attack mode. swinging at it twice.

Fire at the last plant hit: 6 + 1d20 ⇒ 6 + (4) = 10 does not include cover or firing into melee penalty

dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 3 piercing

Woonsul tries to wake up Haro and Evad with excessive screaming.

Jenya reloads with another paper cartridge and fires again just like the last time but at the last live plant.

PBS on touch with shock and up close and deadly: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 161d8 + 1 + 1d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (2) + (6) = 12

Haro stood up after he was woken up.

Ah you are right...in which case standing up would have provoked at the time, which would have let to similar results. And no, falling into water does not wake one up...actually falling a sleep under water is very bad and most of the time ends up in drowning in this system.

Haro swings at the last plant and rips it out from the soil it was standing in..dropping it to the ground while Evad snores a bit.

(out of combat - so save your arrow and bullet/gunpowder)

You can easily arouse anyone who's still sleeping and then search the area..but it reveals nothing of note..other then some stuff which will most likely make good fertilizer.

Sascha’s instructions direct you to travel through the sewers for an additional 650 feet, descending gently to follow the water flow.

Evad rousing from his sleep...feeling refreshed and begins down the tunnel.

I had an arrow that missed, seeing if I recover it. chance: 1d100 ⇒ 69 yep

then he too begins down the tunnel

Happy to preserve a bullet Jenya reloads her pistol with powder and shot and follows the rest.

Perception if needed

Per: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

That shock blessing was a real help she comments to Evad.
