#9-08: Birthright Betrayed (Inactive)

Game Master into the aether

Seeing Gaeldrung in bad shape Encara casts Cure Moderate Wounds before moving around the fence and trying to hop down near Gaeldrung.

acrobatics to land: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (18) - 2 = 16

CMW: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 7) + 4 = 12

GM: I don't see any reference to Carax's attack. Did it hit?

Once again stepping back, Altavan made some gestures and a rapier of pure energy appeared in front of him. With a flicker of thought, it move to strike his attacker.

Spiritual weapon: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 211d8 ⇒ 6

Gaeldrung now head an arrow in each shoulder, but, thanks to the healing, he want in so much pain.
He hops up onto the boat and gets all up in the archers face!
Double move

@Carax: Apologies for overlooking that; yes it did hit but did not crit. You felt like the damage was fully effective.

@Gael: the boat is difficult terrain so I moved you as close to the archer as you could get with a double move.

Geirahöd attacks Hypatria back.

AttackShield: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 201d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 71d100 ⇒ 33

Encara hops down to the canal bank and heals Gaeldrung. Altavan casts a spell creating a magical rapier made of force that promptly dispatches the rock-creature, who poofs out of existence. Gaeldrung steps aboard the barge and slowly makes his way toward the archer. Geirahöd attacks the large-mouthed animal, missing with her falcata but bashing the beast in the face with a well-timed slam of her shield.

Richelle couldn’t tell exactly what was going on, but she knew that if she couldn’t see anything, she couldn’t do anything except try to protect herself.

Total defense, please.

Carax is up, then the foes.

Ever chivalrous, Carax hustles along the bridge and simply drops over the side onto the barge next to the hippo. He

Acrobatics: 1d20 - 8 ⇒ (2) - 8 = -6 He lands in a disorganized heap, prone before the monster, but having arrived with alacrity.

Richelle again just does her best to protect herself after being hampered. Carax rushes forward to join his fellow pathfinders on the boat but is less than graceful in boarding.
Carax falling damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

fear rounds: 1d4 ⇒ 1
The frightened pirate pulls himself together. Rapier still in hand, he moves forward to attack Gaeldrung.
miss chance?: 1d100 ⇒ 74 attack AC16: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The animal again tries to bite Geirahöð.

And the woman rapidly takes two more shots at Geirahöð.

slashing: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Gaeldrung steps around the box blocking his path and attemtps to make the archer regret her life choices.

Encara fires off another burst of radiance at Gaeldrung's two opponents before moving up and drawing his club.

Reflex 17 reduces blinded to dazzled.

Carax stands drawing an AoO, then attacks.

Geirahöd feeling the pain quickly attacks the animal infront of him.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 241d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
If that drops the animal she will drop prone to get some more cover.

Gaeldrung moves around the crate and attacks the archer but is unable to connect. The two pirates cry out in pain at Encara’s spell. G REF DC17: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28 D REF DC17: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15 The archer avoids being blinded but the other pirate is less fortunate.

The large-mouthed beast tries to take a bite out of Carax as he stands up.

Looking at the foes, Altavan used his magic to try putting one of them to sleep.

Slumber hex nearest foe DC 16 Will.

Richelle takes a 5’ step to the north, ready to move and flank next round. She swings her falcata at the beast.

Attack 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Damage 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Would someone move me 5’ North, please?

@Richelle no 5’ step because the boat is all difficult terrain. The hippo is asleep now though so I’ll move you into flanking.
Kegdrainer casts a hexing glance at the big animal, trying to make it sleepy.
Hypatria WILL DC16: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Then Richelle attacks the beast with her falcata, wounding it some more and waking it right back up!
The woman, having cover from a large crate, casts a spell, touches the blind pirate adjacent to her, and yanks on his shirt as she says to him, “Dalan, this way!”

Now, while the beast was distracted, Richelle again tried to strike it.

Attack with flank and bless 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 22

Damage 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Gaeldrung, drops his ax, draws guys doing as he moves forward, and loads. Get back here, cowards!

Carax attacks the big animal.

Longsword+flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 = 131d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Critical Hit Confirmation?: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 2 = 221d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Assuming a 22 hits and a 13 doesn't, that's 10 points of damage.

Encara casts stabilize on his fallen companion.

Seeing that some of the foes were trying to get away, Altavan sprinted along the waters edge to try stopping them.

Richelle, all senses finally working again, connects with an attack against the large animal. Gaeldrung drops his axe and draws (something?) as he yells an insult at the pirates who fled upon the canal. Carax strikes another wound against the animal and it bellows in pain, blood now running from several cuts in its thick hide. Encara uses his magic to close Geirahöð wounds; she’s now unconscious but stable. Kegdrainer hustles along the raised edge of the canal, trying to keep the pirates in range of his magic and hexes.

The blind pirate out on the canal finds a small flask of liquid in his belt pouch. His fingers fumble desperately with the stopper until he finally opens it and drinks its contents. clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The woman with the bow yells, ”Hypatria! To me!” and the blood-covered beast splashes into the water beneath the bridge. Full withdraw, but Richelle and Carax would get AOOs as it tries to leave the next square (so no flanking bonus) If it survives the AOOs it swims under the boat and over to its master. The bowman then fires an arrow at Gaeldrung dropping him unconscious to the deck, and another at Richelle.

Galedrung doesn't even flinch at the hit. He takes like an Orc, then falls into a heap.

Encara follows up with a stabalize cast on Gaeldrung.

"I've got our companions" shouts Encara.

While the beast was fleeing, Richelle took one last strike at it with her falcata.

Attack with bless 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 1 = 24

Damage 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
—————-

Richelle, not clever enough to take cover, makes her move for the archer.

In difficult terrain, I think it would take me a double move to get to the archer. Please let me know if I’m wrong and if someone would please move me up to him/her.

With a flick of his eye, the glowing rapier the Shaman summoned earlier flew across the water to slash at the female. "I would suggest that you surrender." he hollered.

SW: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 = 191d6 ⇒ 6

Botting Carax since this game has a deadline. Feel free to alter your actions if you’d like.
Carax drops his sword (free), unstraps his shield (move), and takes out his heavy crossbow (move).

Gaeldrung goes down but Encara closes his wounds. Richelle lays into the fleeing beast and it begins floating motionless with the canal current. With the animal no longer causing the barge to sway it is much easier to navigate (no longer difficult terrain). Kegdrainer commands the rapier of pure force to harry the archer lady, and the rapier obeys.

Rather than surrendering as suggested, however, she turns her bow on the shaman, firing twice rapidly.

”Hypatria?! I said, ‘to me!’,” she cries with a hint of anxiety in her voice.

The blinded pirate clumsily arms himself with a light crossbow and begins pointing it erratically in all directions.

would someone please move me up to him/her.

@Richelle, he's walking out on the canal (magic). You'd need to dive in and swim or something. You can keep your rolls though if/when you engage.

Who is the red opponent in the center of the boat? Is he down?

Yeah, Geirahöð took him down with a crit in round 2.

Richelle takes cover behind one of the crates, not having any way to get to the remaining enemies. She hoped the city guard might be coming soon.

Carax drops his sword and shield and draws his heavy crossbow.

Encara heads over and gives them one final burst of radiance to try and stop their escape.

With Encara’s spell, the blinded pirate out on the canal drops unconscious, lying motionless on the surface of the water. Seeing her ally fall, the woman drops her bow and throws up her hands.
”I know when I’m outmatched, and I don’t particularly want to die tonight. I yield.”

The woman wears a winged helmet that bears the symbol of Aroden’s eye, and this helm matches the description of the one Vernisant had removed from the museum. The pirates’ barge and the smuggler’s tunnel are loaded with casks of salt pork. Each barrel bears a scratched-out maker’s mark; several of you can discern (by taking 10 on Perception) that the central device in this maker’s mark is a scaly gar, which also features prominently in Count Zespire’s coat of arms.

When questioned, the woman talks openly. ”We began robbing Count Zespire’s shipments as revenge for being dismissed from the navy. We worked with a fence and contact in Ridonport on a need-to-know basis, and that person arranged to use these tunnels as a dead drop location. The fence has since disappeared, yet the payments have kept appearing—even becoming more generous, including arms and armor instead of just coinage.”

LOOT: studded leather (magic), mwk composite longbow (+1 Str) with 20 arrows, short sword, helm (magic), vial of liquid (magic), 2x vial of liquid, 2x mwk studded leather, 2x buckler, 2x dagger, 2x light crossbow with 10 bolts, 2x mwk rapier, 108 gp

Encara goes around and staps tapping his allies with his CLW wand until they are awake (And hopefully their CLW wand thereafter.) Feel free to roll and let me know charges.

CLW charge 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

CLW charge 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Richelle has Encara use her wand to completely heal her wounds. Her eyes go to the magical armor, however. ”Can anyone tell me what that armor is able to do? After that battle, better armor might do me good.”

She starts listening to the woman. ”Why were you dismissed from the navy? Who was your fence?”

”We were caught stealing. By ‘caught’ I mean, someone snitched. Everyone was stealing. The fence? No idea who they are. It’s just better for everyone that way, you know?”

Spellcraft Armor: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

"Yes, they are both magical items." Altavan said. "This potion is handy for someone that is not adept in the healing arts. It would be useful to to give it to them in case the healers get clobbered. As for the armor, you might like to use it as it will be easier for you to wear that what you currently have on." he said
CLW potion and +1 Studded Leather. down 3 hp. not going to use another charge

Encara nods to his companions "We'll need them around for testimony. How welll ldo we trust the local constabulary?"

”I suppose we have to trust them. This testimony could help our goal,” Richelle says, careful to not reveal details out amongst others.

Does anyone heal Geirahöd?

With things under control, the shaman stepped over to Geirahöð to patch her up.
If you have a wand, burn 6 charges or so to get you healed up. If not, let me know so I can mark them off.

If she doesn't have a wand, Carax will let someone use his on her.
