Qwerty's #8-07 Tome of Righteous Repose Low Tier (Inactive)

Game Master qwerty1971

Balomar steps up to the orc with the red sash on its waist. "You follow the wrong leader and took the wrong course. You will pay for your misdeeds." With that, he brings his katana down upon the unrighteous.

COMBAT OVER
Balomar cuts the last orc down with a devastating blow that takes his head off. The other two orcs are still alive but sleeping and non threatening...

"Well struck! Let's tie these two up and turn them over to the authorities. There are probably more orcs about, though." Delio produces some rope from his pack and secures the two captives while the others search the room.

The last orc takes a step away from the group except for Miji and he slashes with his scimitar on the tiefling...

[dice=MW Scimitar]1d20+7...[dice=DMG]1d6+3

barely missing the target and cursing his luck knowing that if his orc buddy was still drumming he would have hit...

I rolled a parry and riposte on my last turn. And if I get the kill, it regains a panache.

Segray smirks and says

"Well done. It looks like they eventually surrendered.... to your blades."

She then casts detect magic spell.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Miji regains the panache as his stroke struck first and then Balomar came in and made a mess of things.

There is nothing else of value in this room which was used as a dining room save for the mixing bowl on the dais which has a yellow mold growing in it.

Miji drags his boots along the stones, pacing the room. "Now do you see why I wanted to fight everybody at once?" My next mission better be to Cheliax. I'm going to walk into the first bar I see and shout 'Free drinks for a free Andoran!'

"Can anybody use this wand? It's really just a wound to my ego, but this scratch does itch a little bit." Miji lazily twirls the looted wand across his knuckles and through his fingers.

After securing the prisoners, healing themselves and distributing the looted gear the group searches the outer rooms adjacent to the dining hall and discover they are prep rooms associated with dining.

What do you do with the 2 prisoners after they wake up?

"I can," Zora informs Miji, and takes it to tap him with it.

Miji's CLW on him: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"Do you require more help?" (You can assume Zora will active the wand as much as you need, Miji.)

Then, Zora looks blankly at Delio. "We traveled seven days to reach this place. Do you intend to guard them for the duration of our exploration here, and for a week's worth back on the trail? Surrender was offered to them; they refused and chose the fight. My goddess is willing to accept them now."

She unslings her spear from her back dispassionately, moving towards the first of the orcs. "Unless there are objections?"

Miji's bow pointedly displays his flexibility and dexterity, "Most appreciated . . . and I would be more than happy to assist you and your goddess with these prisoners. Simply give them back their weapons, and then have a seat." Miji smiles at the orcs, while pitching his voice to his companions, "I'd tell you to bet on me, but then somebody would have to bet on these fools--and nobody is that stupid." Am I being too greedy, or should I share with Delio?

"Leave them for now. We can deal with them after we've found the artifact we're here for."

Segray smiles at Miji and says with a wink "Oh, I could've taken care of these wounds as well. In the name of Asmodeus."

Miji strikes a pose, hand on hilt, "Well then, I guess next time you'll just have to be quicker with your attentions." I didn't know there was a race going on, but I like it!

The group ponders whether to go west or go south next...

"Shall we go west? The orcs will keep for now."

Segray nods. "West seems a good option."

"Left it is..." the paladin says emphatically and moves. "Orcs... We find an ancient temple of sorts, and it's full of orcs... well, I suspect we'll find something here a bit more dangerous. Be prepared." he continues to warn his fellow Pathfinders.

Zora shrugs at the decision to leave the orcs alive for now, and slings her spear back into its position on her back.

"As you will. Pharasma is patient. West it is."

She settles into position at the rear of the group once more.

The group decides to head towards the west and as they travel down the corridor Balormar and Delio get a strange feeling about up ahead of them...

"Well, Miji, it would appear to be time for a bit more exercise."

Miji tests the point of his rapier, "You don't say? Well, we best hurry up then. Tardiness is rude, after all."

The group sees an opening to their right, an opening to their front and a passage to their left. They ponder for a bit deciding which way to go...

"Straight ahead. Let us be about it, then."

That's the spirit! Miji claps Delio on the back, then moves straight ahead. "Care to wager on who draws first blood this time?"

Delio shakes his head. "You have the honor of the lead, with Sir Balomar; I have the far less glamorous task of making certain that anyone who tries to ambush us pays dearly for the privilege. If I draw first blood, something has gone rather badly."

"I can't believe this is a conversation that I'm witnessing."

Segray chuckles and says to Benedict. "It seems men sometimes never really grow up. Their toys become just bigger... and deadlier."

Balomar stops suddenly looking around in all directions. He drops to a knee and examines the ground with desperate regard. Moving to the walls, he stands running his hands along them until he reaches as high as he can. He then looks back over the group. Finally, he shrugs and looks at Segray. "I dunna see these men you speak of, Miss Segray," he says with a wink. "Just boys with little pointy sticks!"

Turning back, he continues down the passage... chuckling along the way.

Balomar makes his jest and then leads the group to the west, straight ahead...Four large, unadorned stone sarcophagi stand upright in alcoves along the north and south edges of this chamber with opened lids, while a fifth stands on a small platform to the west. Above the platform, a large inscription reads, “They gave their lives to battle death.”
As soon as Balomar enters the room three skeletal figures begin to move inside three of the wall sarcophagi with ornate longswords in their boney hands...

Delio rushes forward into the room and cuts at the green skeleton, but the uneven flooring throws off his timing. Feh. And I'd been rolling so well as a GM, too.

Scimitar slash to skelly: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Zora has said little as the banter washes over here, but seeing the undead rise around them brings her to full attention. Her pale eyes flash and her expression becomes stern. She strides into the room with her spiral-painted shield held like a challenge and her other hand on the necklace that bears Pharasma's spiral.

"RETURN TO DUST."

Channel positive energy to harm, Will save DC 17 for half.

2d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 4) + 1 = 6

Kn Relgion vs undead: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 Just in case these are something other than ordinary skellies

Miji dances into the center of the tomb, slapping Balomar on the butt as he moves past, then waits for the skeletons to come to him. "Hey, old man! You going to fight too, or are you too busy being jealous of our youth?" Besides, who can even move in that much armor?

Balomar steps to the far skeleton and shows what an old man can do!

Pwr Tak w/ +1 Ada Large Katana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 for slashing damage of : 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (3, 1) + 13 = 17

Segray waits to see what happens and leans against a wall.

Delay, I'm useless against undead xD

Zora knows these foes to be skeletal champions ...I believe you get one question with that roll
she also uses the positive energy within her to project out and harm them..

Green vs DC 17: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 FAIL
Blue vs DC 17: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 FAIL
Red vs DC 17: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 PASS

Delio missed with his strike as Miji takes the center of the room next to Zora...

Balomar does not feel that Miji is very funny and moves up to engage the blue skeleton just barely nicking it at this time but recognizing not all the damage went through but the weight hos his blow crumples the foe...

Segray stands and watches the others..

The Green skeleton attacks Delio as the red skeleton moves up to attack Miji... and the swashbucklers readied action misses the skeleton...

Green vs Delio: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14...DMG: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 MISS

Red vs Miji: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12...DMG: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 MISS

Red's attack should have triggered my parry and riposte, and also changed my inititiave to between Blue and Red.

Benedict moves into the room as he makes sure his brass knuckles are on correctly before letting the red skeleton have it.

Knowledge(Religion): 1d20 + 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (13) + (1) + 11 = 25

Brass Knuckles: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
1d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Balomar stpes next to Delio and takes a swipe at the skeleton. "Oh, how I dispise undead!"

Pwr Tak w/ +1 Ada Large Katana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 for slashing damage of: 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (3, 6) + 13 = 22

Miji, you don't use your parry roll for your riposte attack.

Miji, you don't use your parry roll for your riposte attack.

@Delio: Thanks for the correction. Miji is a GM baby and this is my first time playing a swashbuckler.

@GM: Use the confirmation roll as the initial attack then.

"Anyone hurt?" Segray draws a wand and waits for someone to call her.

apologies- had a busy weekend

Miji avoids the skeletal attack and strikes back on the riposte but not all the damage goes through...

Benedict moves into the fight but swings wildly with his attack...

Segray waits to be called forward...

Balomar cuts down the green foe with a brutal attack...

the red foe attacks Miji...
ATK vs Miji: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13...DMG: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

As the shards of his opponent clatter to the ground, Delio spins and lunges at the remaining skeleton, slicing at the creature with his scimitar.

Chop chop blue: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
Damage, if applicable: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Zora strides around the others to reach the abomination, drawing her club as she goes. She won't waste more of Pharasma's gifts, but she will strike all the same.

Club: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Her training has obviously not been martial.

"Blunt objects will crash through the bones more easily."

Benedict takes another swing at the skeleton.

Brass Knuckles: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Still on delay :)

Delio dances around and misses on his attack, his lunge being a bit off balanced...

Zora strides up and shows why she is not a front liner...

Benedict just barely misses with his attack...he feels a bit more luck would have connected...

Segray waits to get called forward...

Balomar walks over to the group flailing at the skeleton and taps the swashbucklers on the back. "Would either of you like to borrow a real weapon? " With a laugh, he winks at the two of them.

"Any farmboy can bash things with a big stick. It takes an artiste to kill with only the point of a blade." Miji deliberately turns his back on the skeleton, yet still manages to block its blow and stab it back. He then dances a circle around the clunky Balomar, and stabs the skeleton yet again. Let's see you do that, tin can!

Balomar walks over to the others and gives them a mocking jest as Miji retaliates by dancing around and leaving himself open to attack...

The group quickly swarms the last undead foe and dispatches it...they search the room and determine this is where some heroes of the Crusades where buried... taking the recently fallen bones back for a proper burial would be warranted...

Segray is still waiting in the hallway and when the excitement of combat wears down when she Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 14 notices sources of light coming from the room to her immediate left, and those lights are fading in and out as if something is walking past them...
