Race for the Runecarved Key (3-4) - CORE (Inactive)

Game Master nightdeath

Intimidate Assist? Unsure if still needed but you said everybody.: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Lini casts Bull's strength on Droogami and sends him to deal with Yellow.

bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 221d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Trip: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Acro to avoid AOO if needed: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Apollyanna attempts to bash the rat lady on the crown.

mwk cold iron longsword (nonlethal): 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 8 - 4 = 8 nonlethal damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Heavy on the 'attempts'.

"Dont do something you might regret"

intimidate: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"Please, let's build a beautiful friendship between all us different, but still intelligent and valuable members of the community", Miriel tries to pacify the other team, and comes forward to join her friends, ready to act.

Well if Polly is attacking I will too.

Lannior steps back and smacks the wererat with the tip of his longspear.

Cold Iron Longspear nonlethal: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 4 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Wow all those low rolls! I managed to survive to round 2!
Umm Miriel, if you ready action to attack whoever attacks you and your companions and you prooke AOO.... Wouldn't it triggger anyway? I assume you meant it in order. Move then ready?

It seems that Kresch and her posse would not be cowed as the warehouse erupts in a furious fight!

Lannior pierces Kresch in the shoulder but his weapon seems to encounter unexpected Resistance and its point bounces off said shoulder.
Lini recalls that wererats like this one would have supernatural thick hides that resists most weapons not made of sliver.

Droogami pounces but his quarry dodges and strikes back!
Yellow strikes back! 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 71d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
But the shock of having a ferocious cat shocks him into missing with his rapier!

Polly swings her weapon and her target ducks, having being hit by Lannior's spear.
Omrijka waxes lyrical on caution and warning but is largely ignored leaving her to plan her next move.

Mirel moves and attempts peaceful measures.
Kresch AOO! 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 221d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Kresch shows the unfortunate Mirel how much she thinks about it by slashing at her leaving a gash in her side.

The other thugs step into attack our brave Pathfinders with one of them deflecting Mirel's attack out wide.
Orange strikes back! Mirel 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 161d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Green strikes back! Polly 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 121d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Blue strikes back! Lannior 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 201d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Kresch Attacks Mirel 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 91d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Kresch Bites Mirel 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 171d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 DC Fort save for Disease and Curse if hit.

Not a fan of this close combat, Lannior darts to the back of the warehouse.

Full Round: Withdrawl

"No biting!" Apollyanna warns and then attempts to dispatch (and possibly replace) the man who took a swing at her.

mwk cold iron longsword v green: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Omrijka takes out her sap and has a swing at red

sap: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
sap damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

"Calm down!"

Just want to verify that I understand your wrap up of the round. You said "Droogami pounces but his quarry dodges and strikes back!" That means that his 22 to bite missed Yellow? And was Yellow flat footed at the time?

The wererat's teeth scrape on Miriel's breastplate.

"Keep your teeth off me or they'll end as ivory keys on a piano!" she shouts, enforcing her words with a wild swipe with her blade.

Bold is up.
You are right. Yellow was hit and tripped. My apologies on missing that I seem to keep reading your damage rolls as attack rolls..

Lannior decides that valor is secondary as he beats a hasty retreat to avoid getting swarmed.
Omrijka slams a blow in but finds it largely ineffective.

Droogami continues to bite and claw at Yellow but will stop if Yellow goes unconscious. Since he was prone on his turn would he have tried to rise or attack from the ground? Standing provokes but not standing makes him easier to hit...

Bite vs prone enemy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 181d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Claw vs prone enemy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 A whiff
Claw vs prone enemy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 211d3 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Seeing blue not engaged Lini conjures and throws fire at him.

Produce Flame, range touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 221d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Fighting from Prone. Hasn't the sense to get up.
Is Droogami making non lethal attacks?

Droogami bites down hard on Yellow who screams once and goes limp. Lini proceeds to toast Blue with a well placed thrown flaming warning.

I did round 2 action? Missed the red.

***OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT***

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Cathedral of Abadar will soon open its doors for the public auction! Anyone interested in participating must be within the cathedral in fifteen minutes. Once the auction starts, the doors will close. This is not an open door auction and no one will be admitted to the auction once the bidding starts"

Droogami is not attacking for non-lethal damage but will not continue to attack after an opponent drops.

Prism fires an acid bolt into Blue.
Acid bolt 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 201d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
That catches Blue to the face and he goes down in agony.

Incensed, the rest try to bring the party down even as the announcement from your VC echoes out.
Orange tries a roll!
Acrobatics 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Unfortunately for him, he slams into a crate giving Mirel an opening to strike!
AOO if you wish on Orange, Mirel.
Stab Mirel 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Having failed to get around Mirel, Orange stabs out with his rapier.

Green steps into Polly's face as he too attempts to run her through!
Stab Polly 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 131d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
A tinkle tells everyone he found his mark but his rapier fails to get through her armor.

Krech herself beats down on Mirel with steel and fangs.
Short Sword Mirel 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 81d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Bite 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (20) - 1 = 191d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Confirm Crit Bite 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 21d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
DC Fort save for Disease and Curse if hit.
Fangs sink in deep..........

Omrijka will step across and try take green out of the fight (assuming that polly is stepping in to flank with Muriel which I think the map is indicating)

Omrijka was playing by her paladin code and not attacking first in first round and then remembered wererats have DR in round 2

sap: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
sap crit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
sap damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Repeat of the above.

mwk longsword v green: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Lannior drops his spear and moves forward, drawing his bow and fires on one of the henchmen green.

Darkwood Composite Longbow + PBS + Favored Enemy: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 28
damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 13

With Polly out of hte way, Prisim sends another burst of acid into the battle, this time targetting the horrible wererat.

attack,PBS: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
damage(acid): 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Lannior Drops green with a well placed shot.

Prisim, Polly and Omrijka all attack the were rat who dodges pollys slash, resists Omrijka's blow but gets burnt by acid thrown by Prisim.

It's easy to that Krech is wavering based on her more desperate movements.

Droogami circles around and bites at orange.

Bite: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 2 = 241d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Trip: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Whike Lini steps back 5' and throws fire at green.

Green is down. Perhaps Red or Orange?
Ending this combat due to time.

Droogami pounces on her next target and takes a huge bite bringing him off his feet.

Krech puts up her hands as she speaks with a sour tone.
"Enough! We give! What is it you robbers want?"

Re: Overseer announcement; do we need to announce we are heading to the auction...or is this procedural to let you know we are soon transitioning? ...don't want to miss the end.

Why are you interested in the Runecraved Key!? Who are you working with or for? Lannior demands.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Droogami growls, closing on the rat/man and Lini encourages You best answer.

Intimidate Assist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

"It really doesn't look to be your main area of interest.." says Prisim, her words heavy with meaning as she looks around the warehouse.

intimidate(aid): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

"I nut robbed nuffink since I took my vows" says Omrijka indignantly as she tries to ensure none of the downed brigands die from their wounds

Her efforts do not appear to be successful

Moving you all on to the Auction. You Roses did a decent job.
"We have no actual interest in the bid. We just want to collect back the deposit because it was a gift. You got what you wanted. Please leave." Krech pleads coming close to sobs.

***OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT***

The last of the attendees are shuffled into the Cathedral of Abadar and the crowd eagerly await the beginning of the auction. A portly man takes to the stage, and with a voice like a foghorn declares ”The auction is open!” which sets off a hum through the crowd as people start jostling for position and readying their auction bidding paddles, as though they were cutlasses with which to defeat the auction itself!

Kresch Vaor looks around at the readied auction-slayers with a broken resolve “Bah, too much for an old key. Proctor, I’m out. Have one of your clergymen transfer my deposit to my personal account.” then sits back down.

The bidding then begins with fury, paddles being thrust into the air representing thousands of gold at a time

The Duchesses seem a bit distant, and very quickly exit the bidding.

As the numbers rise, Maiveer Sloan calls out, he pleads with the auctioneer, “I don’t have the funds on hand, but let my organization put down credit on the key. I can have the extra funds in a few months and you know we’re good for it.” The Auctioneer purses his heavy lips in sympathetic understanding. The Proctor interjects ”The rules state this auction would be a fast sell only with coin in hand” Maiveer pleads further ”Sir! I protest! I have been victimised and robbed - and though I make no issue of it now I protest that I would have had the coin had it not been so! The rogues, robbers, and conspirators sit right under this very roof and gain from this injustice!” The proctor, having none of it, simply turns to Sloan ”Contain yourself or the church will have you removed.”

As order is almost restored, a group of toughs barges in and heads straight for Dymal Rinks - ”Minvandu wants a word”. He begins to protest, but two burly half-orcs simply grab an arm each and pick him up and start walking out. Sheila Heidmarch makes a gesture that is very clear - do NOT get involved. Minvandu’s chief legbreaker pauses at the Proctor ”Sorry about that interruption, bit of confusion needing to be dealt with. Whatever deposit Rinks tried to put down on the auction belongs to our employer, Mr. Minvandu. I’ll send someone around later to collect it, after the boss has a few private words with Rinks”. Rinks is then dragged out of the auction house, kicking and screaming.

The auction begins again in earnest, with some Pathfinders baulking at the sums being thrown around and consider wandering to a nearby tavern instead. The number of bidders begins to rapidly thin…

Doctor Landis starts making an offer,then thinks better of it - some concern playing at the back of his mind no doubt. He lowers his hand, and simply gestures that he’s cut himself off by waving his hand across his throat.

Falrig Sneve seems spooked by Doctors Landis withdrawing and it triggers him too “Too rich for my blood. Fold!”

With only Pathfinders and Lady Kaddren in the bidding war, the atmosphere gets tense - it is clear that Lady Kaddren is determined to win… yet as she is about to bid a breathtaking sum, a runner presents her with a note which she quickly reads. After, she grimaces at the assembled Pathfinders and their Venture Captain and in a threatening tone says, “This time, you got lucky. From here out, you might want to watch your backs.” Then she turns to the proctor and tells him, “You can close my bids out.” After, she tucks the note into her cloak and storms out.

The Auctioneer continues “Going, going, gone! And sold to table seven with the red coloured paddle for a final price of sixty thousand gold pieces! Table seven please send one representative to the front of the room to claim your prize!”

A seasoned Pathfinder, Eadie Navhelan from the winning table strides out to collect.

Without warning, a tremendous flash of light and smoke appears behind the auctioneer, and the very fabric of reality is sliced open. Seconds later, a black-robed figure steps through the rift and pulls a jagged black-bladed dagger across the auctioneer’s throat sending a shower of blood into the screaming crowd of bidders. The remorseless assassin snatches the Runecarved Key and in a fit of mad laughter bursts into dozens of shadowy black forms, each fleeing from the cathedral in a different direction.

Begin Act 4!

Moving you all on to the Auction. You Roses did a decent job.

"We have no actual interest in the bid. We just want to collect back the deposit because it was a gift. You got what you wanted. Please leave." Krech pleads coming close to sobs.

sense motive: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (16) - 2 = 14

"I'm a pretty good judge of character (as exemplified by my distrust of Lannior) and this seems pretty fishy (or maybe ratty) to me. I think we should involve the city guard."

"Ohh, foul murder!" cries Prisim, stepping up close to the hunky Lannior in case any of them try to hurt her. Then, realising this might not be a vote of confidence in her sister, she sidles over toward Polly.

"We have to save the key!"

Suddenly an ear-piercing whistle sounds. Without warning, the stained glass windows of the cathedral simultaneously shatter inward in a colorful barrage of flying glass.
Reflex Save vs DC 13 or take 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6 shattered glass damage

Bold is up. Lol those rolls.

Four figures decend from above. Their robes fluttering around them as shattered glass bounces of conjured magical armor.
Their leader seems to be more finely dressed then the others as he lands in the center with the other fan out around him.

It looks almost beautifully coordinated....

ref: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Prisim ducks as the glass shatters.
It looks like I should be able to get all four with a glitterdust

With a twinkle of her nose and the cry of "Holy sparkling broken glass" the shattered glass around the figures takes on a sparking hue- or maybe it is just the way the sun strikes it though the now open windows. The light hopefully blinds some of them.

Will DC 18 or blind for each of them

Kresch Vaor... the Duchesses... Maiveer Sloan... Mr. Minvandu... Lady Kaddren....

Earlier: "Any idea who any of those people are?" Apollyanna inquires out of idle curiosity.

reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Now: "Any idea who any of those people are?" Apollyanna inquires (again) out of idle curiosity.

Snatching up her sword, Apollyanna double moves.

lay on hands v self: 1d6 ⇒ 2

"Hold it right there!"

Omrijka moves forward "Oh well done! You here as a display for the auction?" After Prism casts her spell. "Oh extra sparkly outfits too!"

"We need to get after the key!" calls out Prisim.

sorry busy day

Lannior flies forward drawing his bow, he fires at one of robed figures.

Darkwood Composite Longbow + PBS v. Green: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 1 = 29
damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 1 = 23
extra damage: 2d8 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 6) + 6 + 2 = 20

Reflex Lini: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Reflex Droogami: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Lini casts magic fang on Droogami and sics him on the closest enemy he can charge.

Bite: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 2 = 261d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Trip: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Cam someone move Lini 5’ closer and charge Droogami over to an enemy. Can move tokens on my phone.

Green flies back from the force of the arrow making him Lannior's first kill of this skirmish as the rest closes in!
Droogami pounces on what seems to be the leader tearing out a strip of flesh and knocking him down.
Other then the leader, the rest seems to be disoriented as shiny dust sticks to their eyes, hindering their vision.

reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Miriel runs right toward the leader.

"You ugly thieves! I don't care how you dress or how coordinated your movements are, true beauty is in the soul!" she shrieks with all her voice.

Rolls.
1d20 ⇒ 13
1d20 ⇒ 1
1d20 ⇒ 20

The Leader obviously tries to cast something which fizzles as the pressure of Droogami keeps him from managing to cast it well enough in defence.

The other two on the other hand bungle about trying to get their bearings.

Lannior moves forward again and fires an arrow at the leader.

Darkwood Composite Longbow + PBS v. Red: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12

add +2/+2 if he's human for favored enemy

Apollyanna holds off until Prisim goes (and drops another AoE spell).

Lini pulls her wand of Produce Flame and throws fire at one of the non-leaders.

Range Touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 161d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Meanwhile Droogami full attacks the prone leader.

bite: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 4 = 251d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Claw: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 4 = 231d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Claw: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 4 = 161d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Omrijka squeezes between yellow and the pillar as she draws her sap and attempts to bop her opponent on the noggin. ”I’m gunna stop ya before ya break somethink else tho !”
