Eidi |
As Eidi was flat-footed the hit lands true, -6 hp, he is at 1hp now.
His CMD is 15, thus I assume the grab failed.
About acid: Oh then that changed slightly from 3.5
GM@ How long has passed since we fought the Imps? For remaining magical effects

Zymir al-Qa'im |
It is an magically an animated object. It will be very resistant to physical attacks and immune to most effects. Though as Vailis has shown it is susceptible to energy damage. Calls Zymir as he hobbles over around a bookshelf pulling out a wand as he goes.
Double move & draw wand of CLW to rejoin the party and be able to heal someone next round
GM Baerlie |

Yes, the chair is up. And don't forget to move your token. I moved Zac closer to the chair (he can't hit from behind the shelf)

Thanks Zymir.
No idea if this will work, but probably not, but here it goes.
Vailis casts a spell and a cover of grease is created in the floor beneath the chair legs.
Grease Ref CD 16
Vailis |
I think Zac is right, grapple depends on CMD (combat maneveur defense) rather than AC but grab only gets the free grapple attempt if it succeeds to hit you with its melee attack
GM Baerlie |
I'm usually rolling all dice at the same time. Sorry if that caused some confusion. You are not grappled until I say you are grappled ;)
Sebastian, Argus and Eidi continue swinging at the chair, but wood is hard and not so easy to destroy. Vailis casts a spell at the chair causing the floor to get slippery. The chair falls prone. Zymir heals Vailis.

combat over
Vailis |
"We broke the chair! Let's see what was it protecting" and so Vailis goes over the "Internal Security Evidence" table and checks for evidences of where the Paracountess is and what happened with her.
Argus Keld |
We'd better find what we're looking for. Don't know if that fight would have gotten anyone's attention. Zack, help me get rid of what's left of the chair.
Is there anything in the room that would allow us to hide the remains of the chair? If not, is it in small enough pieces that it could be carried back to a room with a fireplace?
Sebastian Mapplethorpe |
"Yes, we simply must see what evidence your thorough eidolon discovered that the construct was so desperate to protect, Mr. Vailis." Sebastian states with no irony as he attempts to look over the papers Eidi found.
Zymir al-Qa'im |
Venture Captain we encountered an animated guardian in the records vault does anyone seem to be alerted to our presence? How much time do we have left? Whispers Zymir as he tries to help pick up the mess.
Zymir al-Qa'im |
[b]We only have 20 mins left. We can examine the evidence later. If Eidi was able to find something in an Internal Security shelf we might be able to find more info in other 'Internal Security' shelves. Argus and I will Check the 'Sites shelf', Sebastian and Zac look through 'Receipts' and Vailis and Eidi can look through 'Mis.'
I'll hit everyone with a guidance before we finish up the search.
If everyone takes 10:
Argus and Zymir get to 21
Sebastian and Zac get to 18
Edie and Vailis get to 17
Vailis |
Vailis and Eidi follow Zymir instructions looking fast for more evidence.
Eidi perception: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 24
Vailis aid Eidi: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Sebastian Mapplethorpe |
Sebastian thoroughly searches through the receipts, using his familiarity with the byzantine methods of filing utilized by the bureaucracy in Taldor to be extremely effective.
Taking 20 on Perception, plus spending one point of Inspiration 1d6 ⇒ 3 for a 29 with Guidance.
Zymir al-Qa'im |
I think taking 20 is out of the questions since our taking 10 took 1 min so taking 20 would take 20min.
With a take 10 and an aid you would get up to 21.
GM Baerlie |
After another minute Sebastian finds a receipt which could be the one you are looking for: Receipt
Taking 10 is ok, max. searching time is 5 minutes if you roll badly
Vailis |
Seeing Sebastian picking up some paper, Vailis approaches "What is it? I let you know I have a comprehend languages scroll in case we need it."
Sebastian Mapplethorpe |
"Success! No worries, Mr. Vailis, it appears to be written in the same cypher Ms. Dralneen provided to us in that clever note."
The investigator briefly looks over the note to translate and fill in the gaps, "It appears that Ms. Dralneen has been sent to the Citadel Vraid. The duration is indefinite, rehit on request. Designation is traitor, evidence filed under locker A23 or perhaps I23. Most likely A, I would gather."
Argus Keld |
Lets grab the evidence then and then get out of here and back to waiting room
Vailis |
"Ok, gather evidence in locker A23 Mr. Sebastian while I do same with I23. Let's help us everybody and run back before we are discovered!" and so Vailis gets the evidence pointed out by Sebastian, helped by Eidi if needed.
Vailis aid: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1
Eidi Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Sebastian Mapplethorpe |
Sebastian takes a quick look for locker A23. Realizing that the hasty approach was suboptimal, he looks again.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Perception 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
GM Baerlie |
The content of locker A23 was already retrieved by Eidi before the chair attacked. You now have the evidence, the place where Zarta was taken and the Name of the person who is responsible for her disappearence.
You found everything in this room. The way back to Zarta's secret office through the vents takes you 3 minutes, from there you have about 15 minutes left to get back to the waitin area.
Vailis |
"Well, I guess this is time to run back guys." Says Vailis as he takes the vent to Zarta's chambers with Eidi in his back.
