[PbP Gameday VI PFS] **Regular** Helikon´s Beyond Aztlant Ridge • (Inactive)

Game Master Helikon

I never got a chance to find out what exactly these were. Are they ape-like humanoids, awakened apes, magical beasts that look like apes?

Tinker handed the lenses to the others. "[b]The piece of magic will come in handy for those that like to track down others and not be surprised in the process. Anyone want to use them?{/b]" He asked.

Ready to move on.

The Azlanti monolith’s tracks wind through the Terwa Uplands to Starwatcher Tor. The mountainous terrain features multiple switchbacks and stony sections where the path is unclear.
I need three DC 15 survival checks.

Those should be made by someone other than Huni.

Survival: 1d20 + 1d6 ⇒ (13) + (6) = 19
Use one of my inspirations

Is'n any of us able to follow those tracks? I think some of you are used to wilderness aren't you? he says looking at Nátulcien.

I really don't mind who does the checks, but being a hunter I tought he could do this

"I think you are indeed our expert!"

Our hunter can´t fail the survival checks, with the hints from Juliet Dias’s notes.
Atop a high hill choked with tough grasses stands an enormous vine-covered ruin of granite blocks. The upper levels of the ruin are collapsed, exposing a balcony upon which a shining ivory sphere is plainly visible. A narrow path between the tumbled blocks leads into the ruin. The sound of steady pounding, as of metal on stone, rings from deep within the structure.
Please give me a perception 20 roll.

No offense but I really would like an answer to the question I asked.

Tinker's ears caught the sound of metal on stone and tried to locate the source of the noise.
perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Perc: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
I've just copied Maravo's roll

Perception 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

"I wonder if these Charau-Ka were just raiding at random, or if they knew we were here, somehow?" Nat wonders. She will share what she knows about them with the others.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Perception for Squealy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Nat make a Know Nature or Geography check.

Only Mavaro and Tinker are not surprised when suddenly a hydra emerges and rushes you.
Huni Ini: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Feiniel Ini: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Tinker Ini: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Guinfa Ini: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Mavaro Ini: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Drax Hydra: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

Bold may Post:
Tinker
Hydra
Rest of Pathfinders

I did'nt really copied the roll, just make a joke. But with my init I don't know if it matters at all

Ok then you may act in surprise round

Tinker gave a yell to the group in the hopes they hear it before they get chomped as he drank down a small vial.

Drink Dex mutagen. ÀC 21, 25 if shield is still up.

The hyda pounces at the party. This is many hours after you left camp

Party is up!

I can force it to attack me, but be sure to surround me! Guinfa shouts. Then he focus his mind in the hydra, easily bypassing the defenses of such low intellingent mind. Activating hypnotic stare in the creature. Now he has -2 to will saves and the first attack that hits it will deal +1 damage

Guinfa's whip crosses the distance between the hydra and him, tryng to make a minor wound in it's body. Or so it looks like.

Defensive attacking, cover: 1d20 + 0 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 0 - 4 - 4 = -21d3 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1 Who's in the middle ? It's Dax with a different face?

Damm it! Why are you in the middle says Guinza excusing himself so badly than everybody knows he coudn't even hit something still in front of him. Now that thing will think I'm the weakest target Activating Meek Facade, for 1 round the creature can't attack anyone but me and I'll have +2 dodge AC again its attacks.. This is a mind-affecting compulsion effect.

I'll go away, put yourselves in the middle so if it comes you can attack it says Guinfa as he moves away.

Between Meek Facade and Defensive attack I have 23 AC for the next round

AC 24 including mobility. I don't know the reach but I think I moved out of one threatened square.

Huni runs up and strikes at the hydra.
Unarmed Strike: Belier's Bite
to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 to hurt: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 bleed: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Nat squeals in pain as the hydra chomps down on her. She hears Guinfa's plan and orders, "నార్డ్, అతనిని రక్షించు!" pointing at the mysterious man as she withdraws from the hydra's attacks.

Squealy Nord withdraws as well and moves to stand beside Guinfa, the small boar squealing in excitement and anger.

Mavaro moves towards and attacks hydra
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 151d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

A few wounds on the hydra heal.
The full 5 attacks pelt Guinfa.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 211d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 101d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 71d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 121d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 141d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
But all in vain.
Pathfinders are up!

GM, not sure how the hydra has managed to attack me (guy in purple clothes). I'm not moving my token so you can check it.

Guinfa steps out of the hydra reach and threatens it, looking it directly at the eyes and displaying is spiked guntlet as if he was crushing the hydra's head. [b]Come to me and I'll show you how we kill the snakes in my tribe![/ooc]

Intimidate: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Tinker stepped up next to the Hydra and started to attack it, rapier stabbing a small hole, as he gave lessons to the group about the creature.

K:Arcana: 1d20 + 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (19) + (4) + 8 = 31
Rapier: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 191d6 ⇒ 4

What reach does this creature have?

Huni begins to circle the creature all the while delivering bleeding strikes to it. I don't know, but assume that whatever curative power it has also stops the bleeding effect. So I'll continue to use Belier's Bite

Unarmed Strike: Belier's Bite
to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 to hurt: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 bleed: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Sorry I have zero experience with the Mesmerist, last time I posted I thought you had not moved. Well she can´t attack anyone else anyway. So you had one round of attacks.
@Natulcien. Know Arcana please
@Tinker what would you like to know?

I don't have that knowledge, but isn't it apparent from looking at how it's attacking how far out it can reach?

Sorry I have zero experience with the Mesmerist, last time I posted I thought you had not moved. Well she can´t attack anyone else anyway. So you had one round of attacks.

No problem. I just try to bait it, so my friends have AoO, or force it to no attack.

@ Natuclien, you would say at least 10 feet. Maybe more.

Mavaro moves to the beast and strikes again.
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 231d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Squealy attacks the hydra! But misses as he shifts to try to find a better angle to attack.

gore: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 6 - 1 = 12

Nat slings a stone at the creature, then moves in closer, pulling out her horsechopper as she approaches.

sling: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 = 16

damage: 1d3 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

Worse save, any weakness, special defenses and special attacks in that order (not sure how many I get)

Worst save will, no weakness, fast healing 5, no special attacks.

"The Hydra is weak against spells that play with the mind." Tinker said as he watched the hole he had made close up. "They also can heal their wounds so hit it hard and overwhelm it's ability to repair the damage."

The snake heals some wounds and attacks Guinfa.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 91d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 111d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 181d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 241d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 131d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Pathfinders.
The snake is very battered and almost dead. one good attack should do her.

Tinker stabbed at the creature but was not very effective.

Rapier: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 151d6 ⇒ 2

Huni continues to assail the great beast.

Unarmed Strike: Belier's Bite
to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 to hurt: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 bleed: 1d4 ⇒ 4

With that the hydra falls. As soon as you turn around a poisonous snake reers its ugly head, but you dispatch it without difficulty.
You manage to reach a tower now without difficulty.
This room’s high walls are made of enormous blocks of crumbling, mossy granite,
but its roof is entirely absent, leaving it open to the sky. Folding tables and
makeshift scaffolds have been set up around the room, and the walls have been
carefully cleaned and labeled, revealing a mosaic depicting sway-backed, oneeyed
astronomers at the base of a tall tower.
An opening leads to the east, below a high balcony topped with a huge ivory sphere. Doors leading north into the hill have been smashed open to reveal a wide hall.

attack with horsechopper: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

gore attack: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 1 = 16 damage: 1d6 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 3 = 12

Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

"An observatory?" Huni wonders out loud.

Tinker looked at the mosaic and scratched his chin, deep in thought. It appears that the scholars that used the observatory were cyclopes

K:Local: 1d20 + 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (14) + (6) + 8 = 28

I guess that was Nat and Squealy making sure it was dead.

Knowledge: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

"Cyclopes? I thought they were all brutal monsters."

At the lowest level you find Juliet Dias and 6 pathfinder assistants.
They are happy to see t you and they are excited to show off the site’s
historical significance.
She also admittes that the team hasn´t found much, just a very dark room and a room with an orb that makes people sick if they touch it.

"Juliet? We thought you were in trouble! What's been causing the attacks on your camp?"
