Is Zurnzal failing to hit (vs AC), or is this some sort of DR thing? I need a little clarification on "can't quite land a solid punch", please.


Spells -/7/7/5|Cloak of Darkness (AC +6, Stealth +4)|Wings of Darkness (60 ft fly, +6 fly bonus) HP 26/59 | AC 12/18, T 12, FF 10/16 | F: 6, R: 7, W: 10/12 vs enchantent | CMD 19 | Perception +2 | Init +2 Female Elf 7 Dark Tapestry Oracle

Pretty sure its a DR thing...


AC19(T15,FF14) CMD21| HP 40/45| F +3 R +10 W +6 | Init +5, Perc +12, Sense Motive +12 |

Shohiraj tries again to sneak the creature.

Sap: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 2 = 30
Damages (NL): 1d6 + 6 + 4d6 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 6 + (2, 5, 1, 2) + 8 = 28


In this case you failed both times to hit its AC. I try to describe a miss as "failing to land a solid blow" or something like that, and when damage is prevented by DR/hardness, I talk about "stony hide", etc. I will add comments to clarify in future rounds.

Got it - thanks!


Round 4 (continued)

Marnarius moves forward to attack the orange lizard, but the bookshelf is somewhat in the way, preventing his attacks from landing. (Cover, +4 AC).

Shohiraj clubs the blue lizard with her sap, and it falls unconscious to the stone floor.

Zurnzal, Rataji, Jolyrin, 322 are all up!


Rataji "the Leader" | AC14/12/13 | F5R7W9 | HP51 |

And again: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3, 1) + 3 = 9

Yet more streaks of force burst from Rataji's wand.

Jolyrin will step five feet across the blue lizard's corpse and swing at it once more.

+1 keen flaming icy burst kukri: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
damage: 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 plus fire: 1d6 ⇒ 5 plus cold: 1d6 ⇒ 4

13 damage from the kukri, 14 elemental damage total

322 takes a step back and goes full defensive.

Zurnzal, getting frustrated with his inability to hit the lizard, resorts to throwing sand in the lizards face.

Improved Dirty Trick to blind: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17


Round 4 (complete)

Zurnzal, frustrated with his inability to hit the lizard, resorts to ineffectively throwing sand in the lizard's face.

Rataji blasts the orange lizard with his wand.

End of Round 4!


Round 5 (partial)

Jolyrin steps over the unconscious blue lizard and stabs it with her kukri. It shudders briefly and then goes still, its life blood leaking slowly onto the tiled floor.

322 takes a step back and goes full defensive.

The Orange lizard takes a chomp out of Jolyrin.
Bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25 - hit!Bite damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 1) + 6 = 13
Tail: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18Tail damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

The rest of you focus on the remaining lizard and manage to take it down before it can attack again without using any further expendables.

Combat over!


As you recover and examine the room, it is clear that it will take you some time to search the place for Aram Zey's notes.

detect magic:
There is a magical staff on one of the shelves, tucked behind some books, and a magical longsword hangs on one wall, mostly obscured by a stack of papers.

Marnarius:
As you look around, you spot a longsword hanging on the wall, mostly obscured by some papers. This is the weapon you seek.

Grand Lodge

Joliryn | Female halfling magus 7 | Init +4 | AC/T/FF 20/15/16 | hp 28/59 | Fort/Ref/Will +10/+9/+7 | Eldritch pool 4/7 | Percep +1

Jolyrin drinks her potion of cure moderate wounds. CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2) + 3 = 8

"I am still partially harmed. Could someone heal me a bit more if possible?"


Rataji "the Leader" | AC14/12/13 | F5R7W9 | HP51 |

Rataji casts detect magic and finds a staff and a magical long sword.
Take 10 for a 25 to identify both


Spells -/7/7/5|Cloak of Darkness (AC +6, Stealth +4)|Wings of Darkness (60 ft fly, +6 fly bonus) HP 26/59 | AC 12/18, T 12, FF 10/16 | F: 6, R: 7, W: 10/12 vs enchantent | CMD 19 | Perception +2 | Init +2 Female Elf 7 Dark Tapestry Oracle

322 taps herself with her wand before tapping Jolyrin. 2 charges left. she notes.

Cure mod: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 2) + 3 = 11

Cure mod: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2) + 3 = 9

Cure mod, Jolyrin : 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 2) + 3 = 10


AC19(T15,FF14) CMD21| HP 40/45| F +3 R +10 W +6 | Init +5, Perc +12, Sense Motive +12 |

Shohiraj drink also her potion of cure moderate wounds

CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4) + 3 = 8

Seeing the few effect her potion had on her she turns to 322.

322, could you heal me ? I'm still quite hurt by that lizard bite

Once healed, she searchs the room for the documents they are looking for.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29


Rataji:
The staff is a staff of caustic fury - it's basically a staff of fire but does acid damage instead of fire damage. The sword is a +2 vicious longsword.


Rataji "the Leader" | AC14/12/13 | F5R7W9 | HP51 |

Rataji keeps the staff, but presents the Swiss to the group. See Spoiler

This is a fine weapon, but it's enchantment might hurt. Which of you wants it?


Spells -/7/7/5|Cloak of Darkness (AC +6, Stealth +4)|Wings of Darkness (60 ft fly, +6 fly bonus) HP 26/59 | AC 12/18, T 12, FF 10/16 | F: 6, R: 7, W: 10/12 vs enchantent | CMD 19 | Perception +2 | Init +2 Female Elf 7 Dark Tapestry Oracle

This one can heal you Shohiraj but the power of her wand wanes. Pray to the void that it will be enough.

Cure Mod: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1) + 3 = 8

One charge left, I think. I'll go check its usage in a moment. Gonna save it for in-combat healing since it does not provoke. Anyone else with healing ability or items?


AC19(T15,FF14) CMD21| HP 40/45| F +3 R +10 W +6 | Init +5, Perc +12, Sense Motive +12 |

Thanks 322. I'm still hurt but I hope we find some healing potion on our next targets

@GM Lamplighter : did Shohiraj find something with her 29 in perception ?


Was waiting for the healing to get taken care of per your instructions; not that anything might happen... ;)

Shohiraj: the bookcases are filled to the brim with notes, books, objets d'arts, and other material... searching for a specific set of notes will take several minutes at least. You fine with that?


AC19(T15,FF14) CMD21| HP 40/45| F +3 R +10 W +6 | Init +5, Perc +12, Sense Motive +12 |

The Professionnal was ready to take the time she needs to find the proper documents about the Tapestry, their next stop.

I'm ok with that :)


Rataji "the Leader" | AC14/12/13 | F5R7W9 | HP51 |

Once the sword is given, Rataji joins in the search.
Take 10 for 12 or: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13


Spells -/7/7/5|Cloak of Darkness (AC +6, Stealth +4)|Wings of Darkness (60 ft fly, +6 fly bonus) HP 26/59 | AC 12/18, T 12, FF 10/16 | F: 6, R: 7, W: 10/12 vs enchantent | CMD 19 | Perception +2 | Init +2 Female Elf 7 Dark Tapestry Oracle

As everyone searches the library 322 spends some time examining the groups wounds. While her wand is mostly consumed she does have a few healing spell she can use and heals The Professional.

[Cure Light The Professional: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

If your hit point total in your stats bar is not accurate then I do not know to heal you. I show everyone at full except Jolyrin who is down 2.


After about 5 minutes of searching, you come across a new-looking journal without a title page. Leafing through it, you realize that it is a set of notes on the Hao Jin Tapestry, presumably the one written by Aram Zey that you were told of. It contains information on a ritual which can tear a permanent rift in the Tapestry, allowing free and two-way travel between the demiplane and the location of the Tapestry when the ritual is invoked. Zey's notes strongly advise against doing this, though, due to potential side effects and the fact that there are still many creatures in the demiplane who are hostile to the Pathfinder Society.

This gives you the information you need to complete the first of your objectives: tearing open the Hao Jin tapestry.


AC19(T15,FF14) CMD21| HP 40/45| F +3 R +10 W +6 | Init +5, Perc +12, Sense Motive +12 |

@322 my HP are right. I'm down by 5. Your cure heal me to full

Perfect ! says Shohiraj when they discovered the journal and Rataji confirms that it was the right book.

Companion, this time, we must be less careless than the last time. We need to focus on being stealthy. Please, follow me.
Our next stop, the Hao Jin Tapestry.


Actually, you're still down 2hp, Shohiraj... you must have missed one of the attacks earlier.

You start heading to the Tapestry Chamber.

Movement in Skyreach:

322 the Experiment: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
Joliryn the Artist: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Marnarius the Vengeful: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
Rataji the Leader: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Shohiraj the Professional: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23
Zurnzal the Ambitious: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

Although not all of your party members are terribly stealthy, you seem to be doing better than your first foray... no patrols intercept you as you move higher into the tower of Skyreach. You head up five flights of stairs and around numerous zig-zag hallways to finally reach you destination: a set of iron-shod double doors. A sign beside the door reads, "Tapestry Chamber - No Admittance!"

Perception:

322 the Experiment: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Joliryn the Artist: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Marnarius the Vengeful: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Rataji the Leader: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Shohiraj the Professional: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
Zurnzal the Ambitious: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Zurnzal, Marnarius and Shohiraj can hear the murmured sounds of conversation from the room, indicating at least two or three people are within.

Stealth:

322 the Experiment: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Joliryn the Artist: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Marnarius the Vengeful: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
Rataji the Leader: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Shohiraj the Professional: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25
Zurnzal the Ambitious: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

As you approach the door, the conversation suddenly stops inside the room.

What do you do?


AC19(T15,FF14) CMD21| HP 40/45| F +3 R +10 W +6 | Init +5, Perc +12, Sense Motive +12 |

@GM Lamplighter I was at 42 at the beginning of the fight. I took 18 from the Lizard, heal for 2x8 and heal again for 11. Did I miss something ?

Shohiraj whispered to her comrades. We could tries to uses the same ruse as last time. But only those able to bluff will be visible and talkative. Use me as an aspis agent you find wandering in the tower.
I have a potion of invisibility on me that I could lend for this fight.


Hmm, I must have missed a heal after the earlier fight. Carry on!

322 offers Rataji a scroll of invisibility as she activates her flight ability. This one would prefer to start this encounter unseen. she explains, asking him to use the scroll on her before the door is opened.


Rataji "the Leader" | AC14/12/13 | F5R7W9 | HP51 |

Rataji uses the scroll as quietly as he can.

Initiative order: #2, 322, Shohiraj, #5, Marnarius, Rataji, #4, #3, Jolyrin, #1, Zurnzal.


Round 1

322 offers Rataji a scroll of invisibility as inky black wings sprout from her back. "This one would prefer to start this encounter unseen," she explains, asking him to use the scroll on her before the door is opened.

Everyone else is up! Rataji, if you wish to read the scroll, it will happen this round on your turn.

Is there a new map? I'd like to make sure I am not right in the doorway. :)


Map of hallway outside

Please position yourself on the map. The doors are on the right. The other marks along the hallway are small niches with statues or tapestries, with no game effect.

Joliryn casts shield on herself and uses a point from her eldritch pool to make her kukri keen and shocking.


AC19(T15,FF14) CMD21| HP 40/45| F +3 R +10 W +6 | Init +5, Perc +12, Sense Motive +12 |

Hearing the sound of people coming Shohiraj tries something.

Help ! A cleric of Nethys is becoming crazy ! He casts spells on people !?

Bluff: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31


Round 1 (continued)

Hearing the sound of people coming Shohiraj tries something. "Help! A cleric of Nethys is becoming crazy ! He casts spells on people !?"

Marnarius follows up on the bluff, grabbing The Professioanl as if holding them as a prisoner. "Help! I find an Aspis agent! Help"

Rataji reads the scroll of invisibilty, and 322 disappears from sight.

1d20 ⇒ 15
1d20 ⇒ 11
1d20 ⇒ 13
1d20 ⇒ 6
1d20 ⇒ 11

A woman's voice is heard through the door: "Report it to the guards, then - this area must remain secure!"

Joliryn casts shield on herself and uses a point from her eldritch pool to make her kukri keen and shocking.

Zurnzal delays.

End of Round 1 - declare your actions for the next round, and we'll pause and get new actions if anything significantly changes (like, if the door opens).


AC19(T15,FF14) CMD21| HP 40/45| F +3 R +10 W +6 | Init +5, Perc +12, Sense Motive +12 |

While speaking Shohiraj looks for any traps

Joliryn will simply wait for the door to be opened. Delay until it's been opened.

"I don't think this is working..."

Zurzal draws his sword and potion of invisibility, and hides behind the door, though, just in case it does.

Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25


There is some murmuring behind the door, and after another 2 rounds the door suddenly opens quickly, revealing a long room with a massive table in the center. Lying flat upon the table, surrounded by notes and small wooden icons, is the fabled Hao Jin Tapestry.

At the far end of the table, a half-orc woman stands, glaring at you. To the left, a tall man regards you down the length of the large musket he has trained on the door. You get the sense that there is another person behind the door, although they are not visible.

322, Professional, Marnarius, Rataji are up!


AC19(T15,FF14) CMD21| HP 40/45| F +3 R +10 W +6 | Init +5, Perc +12, Sense Motive +12 |

Shohiraj a mask of terror on her face, "flees" in the room.

Thank you ! Thank you !

Bluff: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

will tries to move in the room and act accordingly to the reaction of the men and women in the room

322 stays quiet and delays until after the other three act to see what the Pathfinders do.


Round 3
The door opens.

322, still invisible, delays.

The Professional pulls away from Marnarius, who was holding her as if a prisoner, and flees into the room, her face a mask of terror.
SM: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
SM: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
SM: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (16) + 0 = 16

"She's not evil," states the heavily-armored woman who opened the door. "But the two outside the door are, and they let her walk right between them."

"Who is the Aspis agent?" shouts the half-orc woman. "If this is a trick, I'll burn you, pink-skin!"

Marnarius, Rataji are up.
