PFS - Thod GMs the Goblinblood Dead (Inactive)

Game Master Thod

We can take the charges from my wand...I just thought it would be more efficient to channel.

Could you please update your positions in the Map

That helps to deal with whatever happens once I resolve Markus opening the door.

Chanix - nice touch the caltrops !!

Chanix having collected his caltrops and noticing everyone ready to advance, stealthily checks the door handle to see if it's locked.

Stealth 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

"Ahhh that feels better, I owe ya one Greg...or. Yer a toff!" Toren stands a little straighter, albeit not much taller. He steps to the third spot back from the door with his shield slung and polearm ready.

I think a channel would have been more efficient as well. If you want to save the charges . Channel energy 1d6 ⇒ 3, 1d6 ⇒ 5

Priscilla is one step into the room from the main arrival corridor. Priscilla is still amazed she survived the fall. Her goddess had sent her a warning, but she had forgotten about it.

Please sort out healing resources one way or the other. I'm fine with the channel if you want to save on the wand.

Markus opens the door. The room beyond is inhabited. A table is turned over Picture 1

You hear something shouted

"Angriff auf mein Kommando"

Readied action

Attack 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18 Damage 1d8 ⇒ 1

Attack 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18 Damage 1d8 ⇒ 5

Two arrows shot by some well trained soldiers hit Markus before he is able to react.

For a moment Markus is confused where they came from Picture 2

Then the attacker come into focus Picture 3

The room looks like a disused feast hall. A table is turned over to give cover for two hobgoblins. Their leader stands with a scythe in hand on an altar further into the room Picture 4

Initiative

Hobgoblins 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Hobgoblin leader 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Markus 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Gregor 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Chanix 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Priscilla 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Toren 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Chelsea 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Gregor - could you turn the last picture in the Picasa album - the one without enemies - into a google document as battlemap? Will have to do my other games before a games evening - so unlikely to do much more today.

Markus grunts in pain as the two bolts bury themselves in his shoulder.

Was that the surprise round or their first round action?

Edit: Nvm, figured it out.

Edit: Nvm, figured it out.

I guess a readied action for someone opening the door becomes suprise - unless they also have actions readied what to do once the door is open. So technically I did it as surprise. And yes - Chanix did hear the table turned over a few rounds ago when Priscilla dived into the pit.

Map is up at: Goblinblood Map B

Everyone should be able to move their pieces around...I put them off to the side to start.

Awesome map Gregor. I set everyone up in a rough marching order.

Assume I channeled twice instead of the 3 subsequent wand uses, the first was still required to get be on my feet

Thanks Gregor - I just placed the 2 hobgoblins behind the table and the leader on top of the altar. Everyone else - initiative starts with Markus at the open door. Keep this in mind for distance as you can't 5-foot step to attack.
The hobgblins behind the table have their bows ready - so you can move next to them without provoking and the table gives cover both directions.
The Hobgoblin leader has a scythe in his hands - so no luck moving past him without provoking. And he has higher ground.

Markus bleeds and retrieves his wand again. He activates a charge and then hands the wand off to Grigo who takes it and runs back into the previous room.

Freshly Shielded, the hulking Varisian steps into the room.

Shield

Chanix draws both his rapier and a dagger. He watches keenly as Markus opens the door. Markus grunts and lurches back a bit. He then notices Grigo scamper past him with a wand and Markus steps further into the room.

Assuming the worst Chanix darts into the room past Markus taking a quick assessment of the surroundings.

Perception; +1 trapfinding 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 = 14

Chanix finds two hobgoblin archers behind a large dining table directly across from the entrance and another hobgoblin atop an alter off to the side.

"One on the left!" he shouts as he circumnavigates the table with a roll and positions himself behind the archers.

Acrobatics to tumble around the side of the table1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

In one fluent motion Chanix rises from his tumble and the point of his rapier stabs the nearest archer.

Attack H-2; Single weapon rapier
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Chelsea moves up to the door and chants a short incantation in Ignan.
Grease on leaders Scythe (Reflex Save DC 15).
Because X4 crit is bad.

Reflex save 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

The two hobgoblins are seasoned soldiers. They drop their bows and taking out long swords while doing 5 foot steps they flank Chanix.

1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9 Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11 Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The leader holds on to his scythe and readies an action.

Chanix avoids the hits with more luck as he thinks.

Weird - I'm pretty sure attack 2 dud hit but I had D20 + 3 + 2 as damage and needed to alter it. This shouldn't change existing rolls. Not 100% sure - so gets away.

Pretty much nothing can change existing rolls.

Gregor will (hopefully) leap up on top of the table and attack the Hobgoblin leader.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

Assuming that goes well enough...

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

If I can’t post back on time. On her turn Priscilla will grant Toren a Bit of Luck (For the next round, any time the target rolls a d20, he may roll twice and take the more favorable result.)”Go get’em Mr. Dwarf!” She will then try to get into the room ducking low, avoiding conflict to try to place herself below the table with the scythe hob gob.

"Thanks lass!"

Toren rushes into the room, one step left of the door. He swings his polearm at the archer ten feet in front of him...

Attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Bit of Luck ReRoll 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Damage 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Ahhh!!! Bad rolls!

Readied action leader: attack the first person attacking him.

1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 = 9 Damage 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 2 = 10

Struggling to hold on to his scythe the attack goes far.

ROUND 2

Chanix realizes he's gotten himself into a pinch again! +1 for bad pun? He steps out from between the two warriors towards the table. 5' step move action

In the same fluent motion he turns and attempts to stab the warrior in the corner with his dagger.

Attack on H-1, dagger 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

In an effort to draw the attention off of the elf, Markus surges forward and puts himself in between the two hobgoblin soldiers. He pulls a second sharp blade as he does.

Acrobatic to get past H2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Well I'm sure that fails.

Once in position to distract both his foes, the hulking Varisian drives one of his knives into the gut of the one in the corner.

MW Dagger: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Confirming: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Additional Crit Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

I assume I made it on top of the table...did my attack from Round 1 hit?

Round 2 Action:

With a sneer Gregor takes another shot at the leader.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

(perhaps I shouldn't have sneered....)

Chelsea conjures a small ball of flame and hurls it at one of the hobgoblins.
Elemental ray at H2.
Ranged Touch 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1(Firing Into Melee)
Damage1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
The ball of flame clips the overturned table next to Toren and ricochets wildly into the ceiling.
"Sorry!"
She yells from the door.

Order

Chanix 24
Markus 22
Chelsea 20
Hobgoblins 16
Hobgoblin leader (after readied action)
Gregor 13
Priscilla 9
Toren 7

Round 1 - action:
Chanix moves towards the two hobgoblins, his attack falls short
Markus - casts shield
Chelsea casts grease on the scythe - the hobgoblin leader manages to hold on to his weapon
The two hobgoblins move into flanking and attack Chanix - but Desna shines on him and they miss
Gregor rushes towards the altar (not table - but more stable !) This triggers the readied attack from the leader - waiting to attack the first enemy trying to hit him. But still handling his greasy scythe he is nowhere close to hit. Move initiative ahead of Gregor, action spend for round 1.
Gregor in return manages to overcome the defense of his enemy and lands a blow that nearly takes him out.
Priscilla embues luck on Toren
Toren rushes in but his attemps fall short despite the help from Priscilla

Round 2:
Chanix plunges a dagger into the hobgoblin in the corner
Markus tries to get past one of the hobgoblins who takes the opportunity to attempt a hit with his long sword
Markus then finishes off the hobgoblin which is already wounded by Chanix.
Chelsea casts a small ball of flame which richoets around the room dangerously - never getting close to the hobgoblins and nearly endangering the own members

Hobgoblin 2:

AoO on Markus: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Normal attack on Markus: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Hobgoblin leader:

Attack on Gregor: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Damage 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 4) + 3 = 11

Confirmation for thread:

Normal attack on Markus: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Markus escapes a devastating hit by hairs breath as it gets deflected by the invisible shield.

Still 3 HP damage but the critical doesn't confirm.

Priscilla attacks Hobgoblin 2 Priscilla her little mace in hand steps up and swings at a hobgoblin. Attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 damage 1d4 ⇒ 3

Bumping the map up to current posts

Goblinblood Map B

Toren spits in surprise as the ball of flame almost singes him, and the yelled apology sounds muffled as adrenaline courses through his body. He squints, taking a good look at the remaining hobgoblin and swings his weapon...

Attack (+1 from Hatred racial trait) 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12
Damage 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

With an exasperated yell at his own incompetence he takes a small step, putting himself between the leader and the halfling. He puts his shield in front of him hoping to absorb any attacks directed towards her.

"I'll try an keep this nasty lookin' worm face off'f yer side Pris!"

Chanix surprised by Priscilla's gumption, takes a step forward and attempts to bring down the last warrior.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 ...sigh...

Markus grunts in approval at the halfling's lust for battle and brings his twin knives to bear.

Main Hand: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Off Hand: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Confirming: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Additional Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Assuming that dropped him, Markus steps towards the lead.

My 2nd round action, such as it is, is a few posts up.

Chelsea summons another ball of flame and hurls it towards the last remaining hobgoblin.
Elemental Ray
Ranger Touch1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4(Firing Into Melee)
Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Round 2 - second part:

Gregor misses
Priscilla rushes forwards and lands a blow on the unhurt hobgblin - gaining his attention.
Torens attempt in contrast is feeble and ill aimed.

Round 3 - part one
Chanix takes a step forward - but is attack lacks finesse
Markus compensates for that. He feints with one of his knives and plunges the other one deep into the chest of the hobgoblin. Wounded by Priscilla he goes down - blood gushing from his wound.
Chelsea hurls another ball of flame - but she is two afraid to hit her comrades and it ends up nowhere close to the hobgoblin leader.

Hobgoblin Leader shouting:
"Telda - wir werden angegriffen !

Attack on Gregor:
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 Damage 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2) + 3 = 6

"Spüre meine Klinge - Hundesohn !

"Oooga booga oooga booga boo!" Gregor matches the hobgoblin's warcry with one of his own, swinging with his morningstar as the sting of the scythe's slice reminds him he is indeed mortal after all.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

The hobgoblin doesn't seem to take the war cry serious.

AnyOne wanting to finish the fight?

Toren and Pricilla are still up this round, everyone apart of Gregor up ahead of the hobgoblin.

Waiting for my turn in initiative, and I have been horribly ineffective thus far, haha.

I'm waiting for my turn as well. Should we not wait?

Priscilla and Toren to act

Well when his turn comes up.

Markus steps forward and brings his sharp knives to bear.

Primary: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 - 2 = 11
