Qwerty's PFS#4-01 Rise of the Goblin Guild (Inactive)

Game Master qwerty1971

Jhon moves forward and sees two goblins hiding behind the columns in the room. Seeing that they've been detected the goblins rush out.

COMBAT 1st RND
Xoricon
Gurda
Goblins
Theleb
Jhon
Leepo

Gurda rushes forward to the closest goblin and takes a swing at it...
Nodachi: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22...DMG: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Gurda kills one of the goblins. The bugbear screams for the death of Ekkie after Theleb enters the room seeing the goblin in the half orcs backpack. A different goblin rushes toward Theleb with his horse-chopper trying to get to Ekkie...
ATK: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19...DMG: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10... the goblin strikes true and wounds Theleb deeply.

Jhon gets an AoO on the rushing goblin going towards Theleb prior to the attack

AoO: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 261d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
critical confirm?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 231d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 Great! I´m going to think it confirms, so I´ll regain 1 point of panache

Ha!, that little goblin thought he can pass me to attack my friends

Jhon's attack confirms and the goblin dies before reaching Theleb. no damage to Theleb as the screaming goblin with the horse-chopper in his hands falls at his feet with a rapier wound sticking out of chest.

Xoricon moves into the room, his bow and arrow ready. He aims and lets a shaft fly at the bugbear.

Bow: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 1 = 13
for: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Probably a miss.

Round 1 Guidance
Theleb breathes a sigh of relief as Jhon takes out the rushing goblin before he could manage what looked like a punishing attack. Then he moves up and throws a javelin at the bugbear ...
Javelin: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 = 17 for Piercing: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Leepo moves to the entrance, and casts Acid Splash at the bugbear.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Theleb's javelin strikes true and wounds the bugbear. As she recovers from that attack she gets hit with acid and further damages her. She shakes it off and begins to back away from the group towards the corridor behind her.

Jhon rushes to him, trying to cath it before he runs away.

Will you die stabbed in the back instead of fighting like a man! Shouts Jhon, trying to provoke him.

apologies. was on the road all day yesterday.
Jhon rushes across the room and almost stumbles on a raised part of the floor but he recovers and chases the female bugbear.
Jhons rush across the room uncovered a floor trap that the female bugbear did not trigger because someone threw a javelin and acid at her.
COMBAT 2nd RND
Xoricon
Gurda
Goblins
Theleb
Jhon
Leepo

Xoricon follows the bugbear, an arrow already magically materializing in his bowstring. "Not so fast, Goblin Leader, or whatever you are," he calls out.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7
for: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Ohhhh these dice!

Gurda charges at the bugbear and attacks...Charge Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 17..DMG: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Gurda charges and hits the bugbear. Being pressed the bugbear swings her horse-chopper at the half orc
ATK: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15...DMG: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

and misses...
Party is up

Round 2
Theleb double moves closer to the bugbear ...

Leepo is feeling left behind, so she runs to catch up.

Jhon steps toward the bugbear, trying to thrust and bite him, but without any effect.

rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 81d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
bite, secondary attack: 1d20 + 5 - 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 - 5 = 41d4 ⇒ 2

Xoricon moves up, another arrow ready to fly.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 - 2 = 5 I think I've got soft cover due to allies blocking me shot, but no biggie, I hope
for: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Ah...well. That wasn't going to go anywhere.

"Blast! I'm going to need to re-string this bow! It couldn't possibly be me," says the bard.

"Well, it's not me!"

Gurda continues her attack against the large goblinoid...
ATK: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 = 7...DMG: 1d10 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 = 14
and looks like the broken bowstring got in her eye...

Sproooing!

the bugbear takes a swing at the half orc...
ATK: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14...DMG: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 and after missing she takes a 5 foot step in the corridor.

party is up

Leepo casts a summon monster spell to call an eagle into the fray, positioning it behind the big goblin.

The eagle appears and attacks the hobgoblin.

Talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Beak: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Well done Leepo, now he can´t flee from us says Jhon between bites and thrusts directed to the hobgoblin.

rapier, flanking: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 = 231d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
bite, secondary attack, flanking: 1d20 + 5 - 5 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 - 5 + 2 = 111d4 ⇒ 1

Jhon manages to pierce the bugbear in the chest after the eagle scratches her. The bugbear collapses to the floor bleeding from a score of wounds. An inspection of her gear reveals a few potions, nice studded leather armour, a nice horse chopper, javelins and a morningstar.

"Well done, guys!"

Leepo checks the potions for usefulness. What are these?

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

they are an elixir of hiding, a potion of cure moderate wounds, and a potion of gaseous form.

"Well done ... that could have gone much worse. We should collect this gear and finish our recon."

The party collects the bugbears gear and continue searching the area. They find a chamber that contains a large bed and other furnishings. A search of the room finds a large chest containing takings from the Nightsoil Marauders' operations, including emblems and tokens of rival crime organizations in Magnimar: a set of miniature scales carved from black onyx stolen from an inattentive Night Scale thief, several Varisian scarves and knives taken from Sczarni thugs, an ornamental star of Desna filched from one of the Gallowed, a broken klar that belonged to a Shoanti gang leader, and most importantly, a golden Aspis Consortium badge. At the bottom of the chest and well hidden are scrawled notes detailing the bugbears plans to take over Magnimar.

What do you do with Ekkie?

"Who was the leader of that whole gang? A bugbear? I'm quite confused. I didn't think those brutes were that smart," says Xoricon as he sorts through the loot. He holds up the Aspis Consortium badge. "Did they have outside help? We should take this back to the Lodge, along with Ekkie, and have a chat." He shakes his head. "Take over Magnimar. Very ambitious."

"Ekkie was true to her word and did not interfere. I say let her leave from here. She is from the sewers. Let her find her own way. I guess this bugbear had designs on the entire city. She did manage to steal goblins to her cause. Not an easy task at that with goblins very tribal. Lets take this all back to the lodge and grab a mug of ale. Jhons buying, he had the kill shot."

"I agree with Gurda. Ekkie held up her end, and we should do the same. The threat is neutralized."

"But Ekkie, remember well how we helped you here. Do not make us sorry by attacking Longshanks in the future, ok?"

"Agreed .. "

Jhon smiles when Gurda talks about he having to pay.I´ll glady invite everybody to ale. Expecially to the one who forget some of us fall in a trap when exploring this place...

He continues talking, assuming some mugs of ale is enought for the party to not talk about the worse things of the journey. And, about Ekkie, well not only he did his part, but the chase was a very interesting exercise, so I agree with letting him go.

But Ekkie, by talking us about this place you helped us to attacking your tribe. You should go away of Magnimar a look for another tribe

With Inoklar, the bugbear's, defeat, the leadership of the Nightsoil Marauders is disrupted, and any remaining goblins quickly disband into small, disorganized groups posing little threat. The trinkets retrieved by the party from the guild's headquarters are put to good use by the Society, as returning some of these help improve relations with factions of Magnimar's underworld. Once released from Thelebs pack Ekkie scampers off into the sewers. The party returns to the lodge for celebrations and hopefully a good hot shower.

Scenario complete. Sorry it took longer than expected. I will work on the chronicles tonight. Many thanks.

Thank you very much for the scenario. I enjoyed it.
