[PFS] Thornkeep: The Accursed Halls

Game Master Saint Caleth

Other then not rolling to see if he confirmed..he did the crit damage correctly..a scythe is a *4 weapon so he rolled his damage..and then added the crit damage to it (for 8+29=37 total or 4d4+16), it might be more clear to mention the total damage somewhere

I very much know better. Sorry. I got super excited.

Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

And no confirm. A shame.

Oh right a scythe is a times four crit, duh. Sorry for the delay, in laws are in town and we were up at my parent's cabin.

Keeran's scythe easily takes the goblin in front of him. The goblin barking orders mumbles some words and points at Keeran.

Bold is up. Hrothgar you should have a new map.

Got it thanks!

Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Keeran seems abnormally unnerved by the larger of the goblins.

is there a knowledge nature or local that can be made on the goblins and/or their leader? And I think one of use can understand goblin.

Boram lets an arrow fly at one of the goblins.

Not an action: 5' step, as indicated on map
Standard action: Fire arrow at one of the goblins that hasn't gone yet (pref. red, then orange)
Attack (Longbow): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage (Longbow): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

It would be knowledge local, if you would like to know what it just did it would be a spellcraft check.

Just being sure. I will make the spellcraft check

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Selkin will cast Murderous Command on the Red Goblin! DC 14 Will

Will: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18
I was actually wanting to fail that. That spell can be a lot of fun.

Keeran was unable to identify the spell cast on him by this goblin leader. The goblin hiding in the back is able to dodge Brom's arrow at the last second. While the goblin targeted by Selkin's spell shakes it's over sized head as it fights off the suggestion and fire's an arrow back at Selkin. It shouts something offensive sounding as it fires.

ranged: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

The shot bounces harmlessly off Selkin's armor. The other remaining goblin fires at Keeran.

ranged: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

His arrow also fails to hit it's target.

Bold is up!

Manius with his falchion raised above his head charges forward to attempt an overhead chop at the red goblin

to hit red goblin: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14 (charging so -2 to my AC)
Damage if hit: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (4, 3) + 7 = 14

Hrothgar and his Rhino will double move towards orange.

Hrothgar and his rhino advance on the goblin in the back while Manius charges the goblin. Dispite his Valor Manius's falchion only connects with the stone column.

Keeran is up! I moved your marks Hrothgar I think you only move 20 as a dwarf so you can get to him next turn. I figured the rhino had enough to get there though.

Yup thanks!

Despite Keeran's shaken condition, he moves forward to swing at the boss. He mutters a mantra in abyssal and as he swings his scythe.

Move, Destructive Smite and Swing.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 - 2 = 12
Scythe: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 1) + 4 = 6

Keeran's swing is wild and he is unable to hit the goblin leader. The goblin leader steps around Keeran and tries to stab him with it's spear.

Melee: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The spear thrust is to low and passes between Keeran's legs.

Selkin and Boram are up!

Selkin will move up and grant Keeran Guidance.

Is anyone injured yet?

Boram, realizing that all of the goblins are engaged in melee, drops his bow and rushes the nearest goblin, drawing his morningstar as he moves.

Free action: Drop longbow
Move action: As indicated on map, drawing morningstar.
Standard action: Attack red goblin
Attack (Morningstar): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage (Morningstar): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Boram moves forward the smacks a goblin in the head with his morningstar leaving a nasty wound. Both goblins drop their bows and switch to their swords. One attacks the rhino while the other takes a swing at Manius.

Rhino: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Manius: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Taking advantage of Manius' reckless charge the goblin leave a glash on the mans leg.

Keeran keeps up his fight, matching his disability with the guidance and smite.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 5
Scythe: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 = 12

Nobody was injured yet, I am now

The Rhino tries to gore the goblin back.
Gore: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Hrothgar will join the fight next to his rhino.
warhammer: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Just noticed that it was my turn again

Manius takes a step to the side and tries to take a swing that the goblin instead of the stone pillar this time

to hit red goblin: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
slashing damage if hit: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (3, 2) + 7 = 12

Keeran is having a heard time holding his scythe steady as he seems a bit shaken up. His attack is wild and unstable completely missing the goblin leader. Hrothgar's rhino is easily dodged by a goblin and Hrothgar comes within a few inches of crushing that same goblins head.

On the other side of the room Manius takes the head off the other goblin with a smooth clean strike. The goblin leader steps back with a wicked grin on his face and a look of glee in his eye. He takes a deep breath and a plume of flame shoots from his mouth when he exhales, engulfing Keeran and Selkin.

flame breath: 3d4 ⇒ (4, 1, 2) = 7 Reflex DC 12 for half

Selkin and Boram are up.

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Avoiding some of the flames, Selkin elects to channel positive energy in order to heal himself and his friends!

Heal!: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Bah! I do have Selective Channeling so the two goblins are excluded.

Reflex: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 - 2 = 1

And Keeran takes the brunt of the fire as he is too slow to move. He's getting utterly frustrated.

With Manius having taken care of his current opponent, Boram moves around the nearby column of stone and finds another opponent. He approaches and swings his morningstar once more.

Move action: As indicated on map
Standard action: Attack yellow goblin
Attack (Morningstar): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Damage (Morningstar): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Boram's morningstar strikes the goblin leader but this goblin is a bit more resilient then the others and stays on it's feet.

The remaining goblin minion slashes at Hrothgar with it's sword.
Melee: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Hrothgar chuckles at how inaccurate the goblin's swing was.

Keeran moves to the master goblin's other side so he's flanking with his comrade.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 - 2 + 2 = 13
Scythe: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 = 8

Hrothgar and his Rhino try their luck again.
gore: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 61d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
warhammer: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 211d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Manius will (double) move next to the caster goblin.

Keeran tries to take advantage of a flanking position but is still unable to connect with his scythe. The rhino tries again to gore the goblin as it bobs and weaves out of the way. Hrothgar's warhammer puts an end to that with a solid blow the the goblins head. leaving it twitching on the ground.

The remaining goblin steps in front of Keeran and tries to pull off a quick spell.

defensive casting: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

It fumbles and loses the spell.

Everyone is up.

Keeran turns and swings at the last goblin.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 3 - 2 = 20
Scythe: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2) + 4 = 10

Boram steps forward and, using his grenadier training and halfling luck, applies a dose of alchemist's fire to his morningstar and swings it at the remaining goblin.

Not an action: 5' step, as indicated on map
Move action: Alchemical weapon (morningstar, alchemist's fire)
Standard action: Attack yellow goblin
Attack (Morningstar, Halfling Luck): 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 = 18
Damage (Morningstar): 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 3) + 2 = 11

Keeran slashes with his scythe leaving a large gash on the goblin and Boram follows with a crushing blow to the head. The goblin drops to the ground gushing blood pooling around it.

End of combat.

"Well fought."

Manius will search the bodies while someone with more skill at searching can take a look around the area. Manius will pile everything together with all the other stuff that is found so someone can cast detect magic on it.

Keeran swiftly thrusts his scythe to the side, removing most of the gore. He turns away from the party wordless as he resumes his search of the room, carefully prodding around with the butt of his spear at the camp and surrounding areas. He is in no rush to do this since he is still well burned from the goblin he could not hit.

Taking 20 on the search, giving him a 29. How long will the stagger last?

Selkin taps himself with his wand of Cure Light Wounds and will offer to do the same for others either with his or their own.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Is everyone alright?
Hrothgar helps with the search.
Aid Another: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

There is a locked chest burried in the supplies. the goblins have leather armor, short swords and short bows. Their leader has master work chain shirt, a master work spear, a potion of CLW and two flasks of acid. There is also a pouch on the leader containing five green peridots.

Keeran is shaken for 2 more minutes.

Manius would like a bit of healing from the wand

Cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"Anyone here good with locks? Or do we try brute force?"

I wish I knew where Kysh went. I have a way to open the chest if we need it. Hrothgar swings his warhammer a bit but waits to see if anyone wants to try to open the chest without breaking it.

Keeran needs healing and comes back for some when offered.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Selkin will take a flask of acid and grant Guidance to anyone that wants to "pick the lock".

"I dread wearing something that's been on a goblin before...but I could use an upgrade of armor, unless someone else wants to use it as well?"
says Manius as he indicates the masterwork chain shirt

My method of lock smithing is only as good as Hrothgar's.

Boram approaches the chest. "Move aside, you brutes. Let's see what I can do..." He proceeds to attempt to pick the lock.

Disable Device (Take 20, Guidance): 20 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 29

In addition, he looks at Manius, then at the small-sized chain shirt. "How exactly do you propose to fit in that? Suck in and hope for the best?"

"I knew there was a reason I didn't want to wear anything worn by a goblin...I just thought it was the smell, I didn't think of the size issue...must be the big head they have..it's even bigger then mine."

Good point ;)

Boram opens the chest after a few tries and inside is a potion of cure light wounds a single arrow and 200 gold 400 silver pieces.

"All of this work, and still no keys. Anyone have any ideas?" He grabs the scroll fragment given to them when this whole thing started and begins studying it. Seven dots, the topmost of which is a red star....red star...

"Okay, everyone dump what we have found thus far in this place. Look for anything that resembles a red star - a mark, symbol, even a drop of blood."
