PFS PbP - The Confirmation

[Revvy Bitterleaf]

Daniloth moves forward and with the long reach of his bow is easily able to shoot an arrow into the minotaur while it's distracted by chasing Janira, but the arrow does minimal damage against the though creature

[Seijiro Saketa]

how big is the cave opening? if we get Janira to follow us in there, can the minotaur follow or would we be safe from it inside?

[Revvy Bitterleaf]

As can be seen on the map 5ft square..then it get's a bit wider..and then you'll end up in the cavern corridors you pasted through. So it will have to squeeze...but with some effort it can follow you inside

Squeeze (spoilered for length:

In some cases, you may have to squeeze into or through an area that isn't as wide as the space you take up. You can squeeze through or into a space that is at least half as wide as your normal space. Each move into or through a narrow space counts as if it were 2 squares, and while squeezed in a narrow space, you take a –4 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to AC.

When a Large creature (which normally takes up 4 squares) squeezes into a space that's 1 square wide, the creature's miniature figure occupies 2 squares, centered on the line between the 2 squares. For a bigger creature, center the creature likewise in the area it squeezes into.

A creature can squeeze past a creature while moving but it can't end its movement in an occupied square.

To squeeze through or into a space less than half your space's width, you must use the Escape Artist skill. You can't attack while using Escape Artist to squeeze through or into a narrow space, you take a –4 penalty to AC, and you lose any Dexterity bonus to AC.

[Fronar Gossamar]

Fronar double moves toward the tree bridge.

"Hurry! I'm sure Janira can't hold that THING off forever."

Monster knowledge check for weaknesses or abilities

knowledge: nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

[Revvy Bitterleaf]

Fronar moves forward trying to remember anything he knows about Minotaurs

No weaknesses, it can navigate mazes without getting lost and when it charges with it's horns it can do a lot of damage

Damage Minotaur: 2

[Seijiro Saketa]

Seijiro shakily aims his bow and fires at the minotaur.

to hit: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6
dmg if hits: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

of course I roll max dmg when my to hit roll sucks, lol

[Revvy Bitterleaf]

Seijiro aims his bow and fires at the minotaur but the arrow falls of the bow strings and skips into the water a few feet away.

A short bow only has a range increment of 60 ft..so you are shooting with an extra -2 penalty due to range, you might want to move closer

Vohnkar moves forward, followed by Mosi

The minotaur roars loudly and swings his battleaxe at Janira with his back thrown into it for a more powerful hit

To hit AC Janira with power attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 - 1 = 16

And the little halfling allready tired and bleeding is dealed a crippling blow to the side of her torso
Damage Janira: 1d8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 3 = 10
She falls on the ground...bleeding

Markas follows Vohnkar and moves closer, trying to close the gap with the minotaur.

Double Move I believe. Makes it a 60' move

Janira! Draw the beast towards us! bellows Vohnkar as he hustles across the bridge to the battle.

Double Move, over bridge
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19
I tried updating the map but not sure if it went through.

[Seijiro Saketa]

Seijiro moves thirty feet closer to hopefully be in range and fires another arrow at the minotaur.

to hit: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 = 17
dmg if hits: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

[Fronar Gossamar]

Fronar double moves, moving 1/2 speed across the tree bridge.

Vohnkar moves across the bridge followed by Fronar

Seijiro moves forward and shoots another arrow into the minotaur

[Fronar Gossamar]

Seijiro, don't forget you get +1 attack, +1 damage from both Jamira (inspire courage), and Fronar (flagbearer)...

total = +2 attack, +2 damage!

[Revvy Bitterleaf]

Just to confirm..the inspire courage from Janira lingers on even though she went down..but that's not going to last

[Seijiro Saketa]

ok, so I got an 18 to hit and did 8 dmg then, thanks for letting me know...

[Daniloth Winterglen]

Daniloth concentrates on the minotaur and looses another arrow.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

[Revvy Bitterleaf]

Daniloth fires another arrow at the minotaur, hitting in in the stomach.

Mosi stands around..,unsure on what to do Until Mosi posts again, I'm going to take him out of initiative. He can jump back in when ever he posts again

The minotaur looks down at Janira and raises his axe as if he wants bury it in her skull, but then he snorts and get's a better grip on his axe and moves toward the closest treat to him...Fronar and Vohnkar

It swings his axe at 1F2V: 1d2 ⇒ 2
To hit Vohnkar AC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
hitting (I think)
Damage Vonhkar: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 5) + 4 = 12

Janira 1d20 ⇒ 17 is lying on the ground..there's a little puddle of blood underneath her body, but it's not getting that much bigger right now.

You guys
Minotaur
Janira

Damage Janira: 10
Damage Minotaur: 18

For anyone firing at the minotaur, please remember it most likely will have cover now from party members standing between you and it

[Seijiro Saketa]

Seijiro moves so there's no cover if possible, angling toward Janira if he can...

to hit: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 = 9
dmg if hits: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

but his arrow goes wide despite the clearer shot...

[Daniloth Winterglen]

Daniloth throws his bow across his shoulder, shouts something strange and garbled, and jumps into the fast moving stream, seeking to swim to the other side.

Swim: 1d20 ⇒ 18

"Yes! he shouts while closing on the minotaur, nocking an arrow, and preparing to loose.

[Vohnkar - ERW]

The Minotaur's axes makes a grinding sound as hit cuts deep into Vohnkar. The large man looks like he is about to collaps but after a deep breath he steadies himself and lets out a low rumbling roar that echoes off the mountains. Rising his sword high he steps forward and brings it down hard on the minotaur.

at 0/12hp Blood Rage to be at 2/14hp, probably going to die!
Greatsword w/ power attack & rage
Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 2 - 1 = 23
Damage: 2d6 + 6 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (5, 5) + 6 + 3 + 3 = 22
At least I'll go out swinging!

[Fronar Gossamar]

Fronar will take a move behind Vohnkar, tap him of the back with his wand (CLW), then raises his banner for all to see and waves it back and forth!

wand CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"Hopefully that will comfort your ability to take such a violent blow!" As Fronar raise the banner high, "Heroes come forth, prove your might, so that we can defeat this beast tonight!"

[Markas Songsteel]

Markas double moves at half speed across the tree bridge.

Acrobatics: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Jamira (inspire courage), and Fronar (flagbearer) total = +2 attack, +2 damage!

Forgot to add that in so that is 25 to hit and 24 damage.

[Revvy Bitterleaf]

Seijiro moves for a better position, but fails to hit the minotaur

Daniloth moves across the small stream without any problems

Vohnkar enters a bloodrage and with an impressive blow separates thje creatures head from the rest of it's body

Fronar heals Vohnkar with a tap of his wand (I'm assuming you'd still want to do that at this point)

Markas moves closer.

Since Janira is stable there's no pressing need to stay in initiative all though you don't actually know she's stable and not still bleeding or dead until you examine her

The minotaur was carrying a large broken battleaxe and 3 large javelins, but not much else.

Janira is still on the ground in a puddle of her own blood.

[Vohnkar - ERW]

With a great sign of relief Vohnkar slumps to the ground, grasping his wounds. Though his eyes are close he is still conscious, just tiered and wounded.

[Daniloth Winterglen]

Daniloth runs to Janira, checks her pulse, takes out his healing kit, and begins to heal her with what knowledge he has.

Heal (Treat Deadly Wounds or Stabilize): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

I realize that Treat Deadly Wounds might take too long. If so, then just use my roll as a stabilizing roll.

[Markas Songsteel]

"I believe our large companion," Markas says pointing to Vohnkar "could use a little more healing." Markas strides over to Vohnkar and offers a helping hand to him. "Great swing my friend. It's good someone of your abilities is with us out here, as you may have done enough to give us time to save Janira."

[Revvy Bitterleaf]

Daniloth manages to check Janira's pulse and wounds and manages to conclude that she's stable..unconscious..but stable

Treat deadly wounds will take an hour..you can do it though if you want

[Fronar Gossamar]

didn't janira have some healing items in her backpack?

[Markas Songsteel]

I think a scroll of cure light wounds? I just checked the contents from page 2...2 potions of cure light wounds, and a wand of cure light wounds (7 charges) were the items in it. I didn't scroll through everything to see if anyone individually claimed these items.

[Seijiro Saketa]

I think I have one of the potions

Seijiro steps forward while Markas is seeing to Janira and hands him a potion bottle. "Give her this if you can do so safely while she's out. It should help her... no reason not to try, as it belongs to her after all."

He pulls out the other items he got from her pack and stands ready to return them, another potion bottle and an alchemists' fire.

[Markas Songsteel]

Markas accepts the potion from Seijiro. After uncorking it, he reaches down and gently opens Janira's mouth and pours the liquid in.

Potion CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

[Daniloth Winterglen]

Daniloth watches as Markas pours in the liquid. As Janira begins to wake, he says: "We have bested the minotaur, Janira. You are safe. Rest, but we must quickly be on our way."

[Revvy Bitterleaf]

That's (barely) enough healing to bring Janira back to consciousness

As Markas pours the healing potion down Janira's throat a bit of color returns to Janira's face. She wakes up, blink her eyes a few times.

"What happened..what did you say? You bested the minotaur? I though I was a goner for sure. it kept following me...hitting me, wearing me down... Thank you for rescuing me, you saved my life. Thank you, thank you."

She looks over at Vohnakr

"What happened to him? Is he ok?"

(Assuming someone reassures her and lets her know Vohnkar isn't dead)

After a few seconds she seems to collect herself and sits up.

"How did your mission go, what did you find out?"

[Seijiro Saketa]

"The caves are a holy site for the gillmen... they are being overrun by other creatures... I think we found some... kobolds?... in the caverns... We were on our way to investigate more when we heard you in distress and came to your assistance. Want to go poking about a bit with us? I have a few of your things from you pack.. I'm sure you'll want these back." He hands her a potion and an alchemist fire flask. "I'm sorry, we kind of had to pour one of your healing potions down your throat, so you won't get that one back again."

[Revvy Bitterleaf]

Janira says"I am glad you did..otherwise it looks like I might not have made it."

She walks over and pours the potion she got back gently down Vohnkar's troath

Healing Vohnkar: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"I won't be joining you on your further exploration of the caverns..I'm still not well enough to do so..and this is your confirmation. I already did mine" she smiles at you

"I wish you good luck though, keep the rest of the items that were in my backpack, you might still have a use for them"

She hands the alchemists fire flask back to Seijiro and sits down on a nearby rock and relaxes a bit.

(What do you want to do?)

[Markas Songsteel]

"Janira I'm glad you are feeling better now. If you insist on not joining us then we will part ways with you now." Markas walks over and pats Janira on the shoulder. "Rest my friend. We will see you when we return from our mission."

Markas begins the trek back to the cave before stopping to address the group. "I believe Vohnkar could use a little more healing. Then we need to continue moving."

-Posted with Wayfinder

[Seijiro Saketa]

Seijiro takes back the flask and the vial and tucks them away. "If you're sure you won't need these, thank you... they may yet come in handy. Will you wait for us here until we are done? Or meet us perhaps outside?"

[Fronar Gossamar]

looks like Markas is down 8 hp (5/13) and Vohnkar is down 10 (2/12).

using Janira's wand...

CLW: Markas: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

CLW: Markas: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

CLW: Vohnkar: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

CLW: Vohnkar: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

... That should get everyone up to max.

"That should repair any damage y'all have endured. You should feel good as new! Did I miss anyone?" Fronar pans around looking at each member of the party and points the wand at each one waiting to get a nod or other ackowledgement before panning to the next.

"If that's everyone, I do believe there was more caverns to explore back in the cave. Is everyone up for it?"

[Seijiro Saketa]

"I'm ready"

[Vohnkar - ERW]

Vohnkar was only down 8 after the potion so you can save that one charge for latter.

Thank you, friends. Vohnkar says gratefully as he stands back up. Using a piece of rawhide he crudely stitches up the large whole in his armor left by the Minotaur's ax. The he picks up said ax and uses it to remove the minotaur's horns. Sticking the ax and one of the horns in his back pack, the other he holds out offering it to the rest of the party.

Survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

[Daniloth Winterglen]

"I, too, am ready.

[Revvy Bitterleaf]

Just so I know...where in the caves do you want to return? The area with the creatures the gillman didn't know about or the big cave with the gillman?

[Markas Songsteel]

If a recall there was a fork in the road after the kobolds. We chose to help Janira. Let's return there maybe? Unless someone has another idea.

[Revvy Bitterleaf]

When you return through the tunnel you came from you arrive back at the cave where you fought the kobolds

Within the cavern, the dim light fades into darkness to the north and the south. The cavern stretches nearly 100 feet in each direction, but is otherwise unremarkable save for the inlet and outlet of the ancient river responsible for creating this chamber and most of the surrounding
tunnels over the centuries. The river through this part of the cavern ranges from 10 to 15 feet wide but is only 1 foot deep, and it flows languidly at an almost imperceptibly slow speed.

Nothing to see here, there's a tunnel to the east leading out the caverns to where you left Janira/fought the minotaur, the north and south that don't actually have any interesting in them..and the tunnel back to the big cave with the lake and the gillman, which has another exit towards a tunnel where the gillman saw some movement.

[Seijiro Saketa]

"Let's go back to the gillman cave and take the other exit from there... I think we're done in this section."

[Fronar Gossamar]

back to the gillman, then off to the other side. Right after Fronar completes his notes on this section and corresponding diagram of the scenery

[Markas Songsteel]

"Sounds good Jiro." Markas walks ahead of the group and leads the way back to the gillman.

Once we are there I say we continue down the tunnel we haven't explored

-Posted with Wayfinder

[Revvy Bitterleaf]

1d6 ⇒ 3

You make your way back through the main cavern and enter the next tunnel (The gillman doesn't notice you passing unless you try to get his attention - by some other means then using sound)

The cave’s damp air becomes increasingly stale as you continue down through this tunnel, and as you approach the stench of decay grows increasingly evident.
The passage turns to the east and opens into a small cavern littered with bits of broken glass, rotting pieces of paper, and other unusable detritus. The body of a male dhampir lies facedown toward the back of the cavern.

In the cavern are also 3 moving corpses who shamble towards you

"Braaaiiiinsss"
