PFS PbP Thornkeep 1+2 Looking for 1 or 2 (non melee fighter) dwarves (Inactive)

Game Master Revvy Bitterleaf

Clandelve moves out onto the landing and draws his bow.

Me aim seems fine...it's me strength that's gone...

He readies an attack against one of the bloodsuckers for when there is a clear shot.

shortbow attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Assuming they are buzzing back and forth here from the description. I'm holding an attack for when there's a clear shot at one rather than firing into melee. If that moment doesn't come before their turn, I'll fire off the shot and just subtract 4 from it.

Game wise, they are just going to buzz around next to the people they missed..so you'd take your shot right away

Clandelve draws his bow and tries to shoot one of the buzzing insects but the tiny and quite dexterous critter easily avoids the shot arrow.

Buri moves back to solid ground among his companions.
Get this thing off me!

Cogstadt takes a swing at the creature
Hammer: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10 Dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Ugh, lame

With a look of disgust, Heinrich attempts to crush the bug-like creature trying to assault him.

Gauntlet: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22, for 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 Bludgeoning damage.

Buri scrambles for safety while Cogstadt fails to hit his target.

Heinrich how ever is able to crush the bug that's near him.

init
Kalaron, Glorin
Insects

"Come on, lads! Get'em!" Clandelve yells, seeming to have regained some of his color.

"Draw back over ere laddies. There ain't enough space to swing properly." Kalaron calls out as he steps back to give everyone room.

Our once-reliable Glorin seems to have gone MIA. Hope he comes back soon.

I hope the same, but going to skip his turn for now

Kalaron steps back to give the rest of you room to operate.
Glorin follows the same reasoning and backs away as well.

The bug attached to Buri continues to suck blood out of him (another 1 con damage for Buri)
While the other one still tries to stick it to Cogstadt To hit touch AC Cogstadt: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 but it seems there's something about that particular dwarf that makes him unappealing for these creatures to wrap their legs around him.

init
You guys
Bugs

Clandelve drops his bow, draws his waraxe, and swings at the creature attacking Buri, but in his weakened state, he almost drops his axe.

MW Dwarven Waraxe attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 for MW Dwarven Waraxe damage: 1d10 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

I am right besides Glorin. A successfull attack from him would make a huge diference for my character (1point of CON). Would you mind if I npc him last round DM insted of just delaying?

Reaching across to Buri, Heinrich attempts to crush the bug slowly siphoning his blood...

Gauntlet: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13, for 1d3 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 Bludgeoning damage.

Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19 dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Cogstadt gets his bearings and gets a more substantial blow towards the creature attacking him.

Going to have Glorin search for something that only someone of human height would find interesting and not have him active from now on. He can jump back in later when he shows up, depending on how much he'll miss I'll adjust his chronicle.On the up side...that means you all have darkvision now and have no need to carry around some light which announces your presence way before you get anywhere. Since Heinrich already used his action to crush the bug on Buri and Cogstadt killed the last one, I'm just going to call the combat and not retroactively change things.

Heinrich is able to crush the bug clinging to Buri, easily able to grab onto it now that's it's not buzzing and darting around in the air.

Cogstadt manages to do something that the bug in front of him wasn't abel to do..connect. With a sound blow he disables the last bug which slowly falls into the water below

Out of combat

Let me know what you want to do, the bugs carry no treasure.

Search the room?

Breathing a sigh of relief, Heinrich gingerly eases himself over to the other side of the chamber, before gingerly testing the ladder there for structural soundness.

Provided that it passes his quality control testing, he then experiments to see if it can positioned to allow others to cross more easily...

"Someone might as well take a glance around the room..."

Cogstadt hoiks himself across to the other side of the room.

without the stirges there you can all take 10 and make is across the ropes (even Clandelve makes it across if he just tries enough times.
The walls of the chamber are studded with natural crystals of a deep yellow hue. They aren't valuable, but it would take only a moment to chip a few off the wall.
The stirges had made their nest in a crevice in the ceiling. On the other side of the room are a ladder, a barrel with pitch and some torches..most likely used by someone to get across the chasm and to keep the stirges away while moving.

Once everyone makes it across successfully, Heinrich nods in satisfaction, as he absentmindedly cleans haemolymph from his gauntlet.

"Well then, lads; shall we continue?"

Let's keep going :-)

"Aye, le's move on. 'Opefully we've passed all th' blood-an-life-suckin' creatures already," Clandelve says.

"Aye hopefully we can find something to help you recover from all those nasty bites."

Kalaron, we may need a little more "war" from the priest with Glorin gone and me on bed rest. It may be time to put the dagger away and let us see the longaxe swinging again!

Aye. By the way thanks master Heinrich.

After you made it to the other side and looked around there for a bit you move single file down the next tunnel

The lower portion of this chamber is a pool of still, green water.
Large rectangular columns support a series of shallow stone steps and landings, climbing from the southern part of the chamber toward a rough, recently excavated tunnel to the north.

The large pool is 20 feet deep. The stone landings are 5 feet above the water level at the lower end, 15 feet above it in the middle, and 25 feet above it at the highest end.

Three goblin guards are posted in this chamber, guarding the northern (uppermost) landing. They make for a poor watch, since they are engaged in a heated game of dice. But as they notice you come in they drop their dice and pick up their weapons.

Init Buri: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Init Kalaron: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (17) + 0 = 17
Init Heinrich: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
[Init Clandelve: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Init Cogstadt: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Init Goblin: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Moving faster then you even while still distracted by their dice game they put arrows to their bows and fire at the first dwarf entering the room (which would be Heinrich since Clandelve moved to the back of the line).
To hit flatfooted AC Heinrich: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
To hit flatfooted AC Heinrich: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
To hit flatfooted AC Heinrich: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Luckily for you their aim is off (either because they are badly trained or because they are in too much of a hurry to shoot at you and didn't take time to aim) and none of the arrows hit

You guys
Goblins

Despite his weakness, Clandelve rushes past his companions and onto the landing.

double move

Following Clandelve's lead, Heinrich hustles forward.

Double move, going around the Goblins.

Snicker...My dagger's a 1d6.... Looking to tank more but since you prefer a axe....My Axe comes out to play!!!

Kalaron joins in the battle, His axe leading the way.
Long Axe 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 111d12 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
AC 18

Clandelve and Heinrich rush into the room, eager to engage the goblins.
Inspired by them Kalaron moves in after them and takes a swing at one of the goblins...but he's not used to swinging his axe anymore and it misses it's target.

init
Buri, Cogstadt (and Glorin)
Goblins

Cogstadt moves into the room, firing his crossbow.
Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Dmg: 1d10 ⇒ 5
"filthy little boggers."

Buri moves in to close the distance between himself and his hated foe.
Double move

Cogstadt moves in and fires his crossbow....at the floor in front of the goblins

Buri then rushes into the room hoping to lay the smack down on some hated goblins

In return the goblins next to Heinrich drops their bows and draws their swords and in one fluid action try to stick it into Heinrich
To hit Heinrich AC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
To hit Heinrich AC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
To confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Only one of them manages to get through Heinrch's armor
Damage Heinrich: 1d4 ⇒ 2

"Kills them smelly dwarvsesss!"

The last one tries to put an arrow into Kalaron
To hit Kalaron's AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
but his arrow shatters against the floor next to Kalaron's feet

init
You guys
Goblins

Cogstadt moves up, switching to his hammer.

Clandelve moves to the nearest goblin and swings his axe, though not with his typical power.

MW Dwarven Waraxe attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 for MW Dwarven Waraxe damage: 1d10 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5 Step up: If adjacent foe attempts to 5' step away from me, I will make 5' step as immediate action.

Posting from phone, so can't see map...please adjust if this doesn't make sense to do...

Heinrich adjusts his position, and takes a swing at Goblin #1!

MW Cold Iron Nodachi: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 1 = 28, for 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 Slashing damage.

Kalaron snorts.
"I ain't smelly you stinky Goblin! Smell dwarven steel!!" he roars as his entire body protests his swing....

Long Axe 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 101d12 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Cogstadt moves closer..hammer at the ready for when it's time to use it.

Clandelve steps up next to one of them, but his reduces inner strength almost makes him drop his axe as he tries to hit the goblin.

Heinrich swings and slices through one of the goblins (you rolled a treat, you can try to confirm to see how much damage you would have gotten.. but he's down already)..2 pieces of goblin drop to the floor.
Kalaron swings his long axe around in a overhand chop..but it's sharp blade slices through the air above the goblin head

init
Buri (+Glorin if he wants to jump back in)
Goblins
You guys again

Buri brings down his axe into the stinking goblin in front of him. Goblin 3
I show you who stinks you filth.
Attk: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 2 = 25
Dmg: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 = 14
Crit Dmg: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (6, 5) + 4 = 15

Buri slices through a goblin with a powerful blow from his axe.

In return the remaining goblin tries to run away

"Me not mean it! Me harmlesss, let's me go!!"

Which results in Clandelve stepping after him and both Heinrich and Clandelve getting an AOO

init
You guys (with an AOO from Heinrich and Clandelve as well)
Goblin..yeah, like he's getting a another turn

(Assuming you manage to kill the goblin)

The stakes the goblins were playing for contain a magical potion, a pair of silver earring and some loose coins worth about 60 gp total

The tunnel on the other side of this room seems to lead down.

As the Goblin tries to flee, Heinrich snorts, and takes a swing.

"Vermin do not get a chance to surrender..."

AoO - MW Cold Iron Nodachi: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 = 11, for 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 damage.

AoO MW Dwarven Waraxe attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 for MW Dwarven Waraxe damage: 1d10 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8

Cursing at the fact that both he and Clandelve missed, Heinrich chases down the Goblin...

MW Cold Iron Nodachi: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 = 16, for 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 damage.

Even after a few swings the retreating goblins miss and the goblin starts to think he will get away..Heinrich chases after it and takes it down from behind

Out of combat

And to make Clandelve happy..after Kalaron and/or Buri identify the potion ..it's a potion of lesser restoration

What do you want to do now?

"Clandelve, you should probably drink that..."

Wiping the blood from his blade, Heinrich busies himself with taking a look around the rest of the room, before continuing down the corridor...

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25.

What a waste of a 20 :-P

Anyone got a detect magic to use on the earrings/pool?

Cogstadt will take a look at the pool, see if there's anything strange about it. Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 +1vs traps +2vs stonework.

Assuming he finds nothing interesting he'll move on to check the doorway.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 +1vs traps +2vs stonework.

Kalaron glares at the axe in his hands....

"I'm getting too old for this...." he grumbles as he stows his axe and retrieves his dagger and shield.

Clandelve's eyes look hopeful as he drinks the potion.

lesser restoration: 1d4 ⇒ 4

It takes a few seconds before he begins to show renewed life.

"Thanks be ta Torag!" he exclaims. "I feel much better!"

Strength from 8 to 12 now! Not back to 16, but I should be a contributor again! Yay!!!

Buri helps Cogstadt check the door to the next room.
Perc: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Judging the area safe to enter you follow the tunnel/stairs down to the next cave.

Thick, square columns support the low ceiling of this natural cavern, but the walls remain uneven hewn stone and the floor is only partially paved. Rough tunnels and unfinished walls extend for some distance. Tattered furs, foul-looking bedrolls, sacks of food, and battered old crates and casks are scattered around in an improvised campsite.

5d20 ⇒ (17, 5, 19, 17, 2) = 60

Right before he starts to enter the area Heinrich thinks he sees something move from behind one of the pillars, it's small..and might be humanoid.

Init Buri: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Init Kalaron: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20
Init Heinrich: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Enemies
you guys again

Map is updated, enemies not placed yet because you don't know where they are right now..you just have a feeling there might be something in there

With renewed energy, Clandelve moves forward into the room searching for any hidden foes.

"'Ere, kitty kitty. Come show yerself. We won't 'urt ye...all tha' much, anyway," he calls out.

"Now if'n ye be more goblins, I should tell ye things 'aven't gone so well fer the rest o' yer crew. Ye best keep 'idden or run like th' craven vermin ye be."

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 +1 to determine surprise
