[PBP Gameday IV]1-29: Devil We Know, Part 1-Shipyard Rats (Inactive)

Game Master Crashwheeler

The doctor smiles as his new aprrentice's healing waves envelop the others. He walks up the stairs a bit before casting a spell, air swirling around his hands as if heated.

Cast Daze (DC16) at the woman

Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Getting hit by the bolt and shaking off the good doctor's spell, she growls.
The zombie takes a step toward Rather and swings at him again, but the zombie only seems to be dancing. Slam 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 Slam 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Making this post from my phone so it is a little different than normal. Could someone move the zombie closer to Rathor please?

Rathor is up and Alistair can act whenever he gets on.

Lockwood on zombie done.

I forgot where the zombie was originally... if he had to take more than a 5 foot step to get close to Rathor, I'd get an attack of opportunity, as he's still enlarged.

Only needed a 5 ft step.

Rathor rears up and smashes his large longsword down on the zombie.

Longsword attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Longsword damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2) + 3 = 9

Then his enlarge wears off again.

Rathor sliced a good long gash through the zombie but it still stands.
The lady points at Nachts and he feels fear encroaching on his mind. Will save DC 13.

Master Nachts! Sunder her holy symbol! It will render her spirit broken!

The doctor pulls a dagger from his coat, the throws it at the woman with a weak wrist, and it doesn't reach far enough.

Dagger throw: 1d20 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (19) - 2 - 2 = 15
Threat confirm: 1d20 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (14) - 2 - 2 = 10
Damage: 2d4 - 4 ⇒ (3, 1) - 4 = 0

The dagger hits her in the chest, but it falls to the floor without doing too much damage. 1 nonlethal damage dealt.

The tengu reloads his crossbow swiftly and takes another shot at the priestess of some foul deity.

MWK UW L. Crossbow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 221d8 ⇒ 5

Better, but still not near the peak. Have to check my bolts when this is done.

Nerissys continues to channel Nethys' favor into her allies.

Channel Positive Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Selective Channel to omit foes

Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Nachts takes a step back, his disturbing grin loosing some of it's intensity. "No... NonononononononononoNoNoNoNONONONONO" he chants, panic making his voice crack, eyes wide. Fear and rage war within him as spins to the side, trusting deep into the undead's gut in an attempt to vent his emotions. "YOU ... CANNOT ... TAKE HER ... WEAKLING!"

Glaive, Power Attack, Frightened: 1d20 + 7 - 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 - 1 - 2 + 1 = 6
Damage: 1d10 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 3 = 19

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, more 1's.

Nachts is frightened for 1d4 ⇒ 1 round. Zykon's bolt gets buried in the woman's shoulder.
Slam 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 211d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 Slam 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
The zombie returns the attack from Rathor with one hit, disabling him.

Alistair will fire at the zombie hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

sorry for inactivity real world's kicking my ads

Rathor staggers back away from the zombie and calls on Erastil to close his wounds.

Spontaneously converting enlarge person into cure light wounds.

Cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

That is understandable, Alistair. I am familiar with the feeling...as is apparent. We have a little less than a week and a half before the end of game day though so I am kind of rushing it now while trying to keep the difficulty the same.
The power of Alistair's arrow makes the zombie's head fall off. Seeing that the lady gets mad "Do you know how much trouble it is to find good quality henchmen?!"
Drawing her weapon, she touches her symbol and negative energy expands from her again. Channel Energy: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3 Will saves from everyone except for Alistair, DC 12. On my phone again, could someone delete the zombie, please?
Party is up!

Zombie gone.

Will Save (again): 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 - 2 = 13

"I WILL MAKE ... YOU ... A NEW ... ONE FROM ... YOUR ... SEVERED ... TONGUE!" shouts a now enraged, but still grinning Nachts as he ungainly charges the woman.

Maybe I'll hit this time?: 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 - 1 + 1 + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d10 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 3 = 12

Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Gibbs cracks his neck as he lines up another shot, pausing a moment then letting out a slight breath as the trigger is pulled.

MW UW L. Crossbow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 201d8 ⇒ 5

Will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

"Stop doing that!" Rathor shouts. Stepping around his companions, he draws his longbow, drops his longsword, and fires a shot at the woman.

Longbow attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Longbow damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Will Save DC 12: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Nerissys effortlessly shrugs off the profane wave of energy. She lines up another shot with her crossbow, hoping to end this fight

Attack;Damage: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 191d8 ⇒ 5

And strikes her foe square in the chest. Her jaw drops in disbelief at her continued success with the infernal contraption.

Two bolts bury themselves in the lady's chest, dropping her. Combat over! Nachts 5 damage, Rathor 6 damage, Nerissys 1 damage, Zykon 1 damage, Dr. Nimblefingers 1 or 3 damage. When you search her body, she has two potions, a half-plate, a heavy flail, and a note from a Dalirio Teppish with a map and directions to a warehouse on the south side of the Imperial Naval Shipyards, in which there is an office with a trap door that leads to a hidden basement where the “Cult of Nature’s Cataclysm” meets and gathers supplies. After casting detect magic the half-plate and potions light up. The potions end up being cure light wounds and the half-plate is a little better than a masterwork one +1.
Following the directions and after getting ready.
A smell, not unlike wet dog, fills this room. The corners are occupied by dirty straw pallets covered by wrinkled, mildew-encrusted blankets. A single dilapidated table and four cracked and uneven chairs surround it. The floor is covered in a thin layer of dust and mud and footprints clearly cross the room from the trap door in the ceiling to a set of wooden double doors in the west wall. Once inside the room, another druid shows himself and his two rats. He shouts something out that none of you can understand unless you can understand Druidic and directs the rats to attack you.

Rathor uses some of his own channeling to heal his allies once all the enemies are dealt with.

Channel energy: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Nachts shivers as he feels his flesh knitting back together. [b]"Many thanks ... Farmer. Now let us meet ... these ... cultists."

Sometime later

In the mildewed basement, Nachts spins his weapons slowly shifting away from his fellow to give them ample room to move about. Then, without warning, he strikes at the rat to his left.

Attacking the weird, rat-like thing on the right of the screen.

Glaive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Jesus, really? I can't seem to catch a a break

The two rats split, one to Nachts and one to Rathor. The stronger looking one takes a bite out of Nachts.
Bite Nachts: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 211d4 ⇒ 4 Fort Save DC 11 Bite Rathor: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The doctor assesses the situation, then casts Bless.

With the opponents splitting off and leaving the druid as an open target, Zykon drops a bolt in his crossbow and lets fly!

MW UW L. Crossbow (on druid), Bless: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 = 241d8 ⇒ 5

Now MOVE!

After the bolt goes flying he attempts to get himself out of the immediate radius of the rest of the party.

Move Action, Reload

Seeing that he's in for a melee brawl, Rathor steps back and adds a spell of his own to his combat prowess.

Divine favor.

Nachts takes a step back and summon's the favor of his lord. As dark energies course through him, he attacks with abandon.

Using Fervor to cast Divine Favor

Fort Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Glaive me a story: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 21
Damage: 1d10 + 9 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 + 3 = 14

Zykon's bolt gets buried in the druid's belly. Rathor and Dr. N cast spells. The druid casts a spell at Rathor that causes a burst of light to appear in front of him. Fort Save DC 13 or be dazzled for 1 min.

Longsword attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Longsword damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Continuing his lateral movement, Zykon lines up another shot on the humanoid entity and lets another bolt fly before reloading!

MW UW Crossbow (On druid), Bless: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 = 191d8 ⇒ 4

The good doctor casts Daze on the druid, hoping to stall his actions.

Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Rathor slices the last rat in half as well.
The druid shakes off the good doctor's spell and advances on Rathor and swings at him with his club. Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Then an axe swings down from the ceiling toward Nachts, but he sidesteps it. Swinging Axe Trap: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Zykon takes another shot at the druid. This follows the typical loading cycle but he does not move this time.

MW UW L. Crossbow(Bless, Into Melee): 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 - 4 = 121d8 ⇒ 4

Rathor brings his bloodied sword around in a backhand arc at the druid.

Longsword attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Longsword damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Longsword critical confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Nachts swiftly moves in to skewer the druid from behind.

Skewer!: 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 - 1 + 1 + 1 = 16
Damage: 1d10 + 6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 3 + 1 = 14

From two directions attacks come at the druid, finishing him off.
Combat over!
One fight left. As soon as I am off work I will post the beginning of the fight so we can finish this scenario.

Way to go team!

The doctor hands Nachts some blood-boiling pills.

Here, use these to be quicker on your feet. Take them before we start kicking in doors.

If we hurry, our buff spells just might last into the final battle.

The druid casts a spell at Rathor that causes a burst of light to appear in front of him. Fort Save DC 13 or be dazzled for 1 min.

Are you dazzled or not Rathor going into the next fight? It didn't matter too much with the rat and the druid because of how high your attack rolls were.

Buffs active: Bless-all pathfinders, Divine favor-Nachts and Rathor
Debuff active?: Dazzled-Rathor

Whoa, I totally missed this post! If I fail this save, please recalculate my previous attacks to make sure they don't miss!

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Whew, retcon avoided! :)

Seizing the initiative, Rathor fires an arrow at the human in the back.

Longbow attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Longbow damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

The doctor, seeing Nachts slightly wounded, gives him a poke with his wand.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Nerissys will ready to fire her crossbow at the human if he starts casting a spell or some pther hostile action and move if she has to to get a clear shot. On phone again, sorry guys. Will move when I get home

Attack;Damage: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 211d8 ⇒ 8 Well ok then.
Critical Confirm;Damage: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 202d8 ⇒ (7, 7) = 14 All hail the dice gods!

The tengu slaps a bolt into his crossbow and takes a shot at the human giving directions.

Take down the controller, and the rest is easy.

MW UW L. Crossbow (on Human) vs. FF(?): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 251d8 ⇒ 1

Really need to check the bolts when I get some downtime. That's what, the third time today?

[dice=Longbow damage]1d8+3

Sorry, this should only be +2, not +3.

...hahaha.
Nerissys lets off a bolt and it goes straight through one of his eyes, dropping him. Rathor and Zykon's attacks go to the undead and get buried into its body, but it doesn't seem to have any effect other than making it look like a pincushion. The undead approaches and attacks Nachts1, Rathor2, Zykon3: 1d3 ⇒ 2 Rathor. Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Second Round Actions if needed(Heading to work)

Seeing the lack of result that his bolts are having, the tengu switches to a cold iron blade that just looks downright nasty and takes a swing at the undead from a flanking position.

Cold Iron Sawtooth Sabre, Flanking: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 + 2 = 221d8 ⇒ 6
