Adventure Path Reign of Winter

Game Master Almonihah

Selena moves forward into nothingness, popping back into existance again above the captain and bringing her spear haft down on him.

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 111d8 ⇒ 1

Dimension Slide as part of move, and attack.

Sakitu feels rather happy as she dazed the captain, though Selena sadly couldn't connect her spear with her target

Green takes a 5' step over and swings at Selena
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Yellow moves over to attack Sakitu
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Bulvi swings his sword wildly at the guard nearest him while looking over his shoulder at Sakitu "Come over here to Quasit and me!"

Power Attack Cold Iron Longsword Vs Pink: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Everything started happening so fast that Quasit finds herself unaccountably off-balance when swords and spells start flying. She drops the dagger she had intended to throw, stands up from her hiding spot, flips her short sword quickly to her good hand with a duck of the head for good measure, then drives it home into her nearest target's ribs.
Using Combat Expertise (AC 19). Feint to catch the target flat footed, in case the stealth check wasn't enough (move action). Then attempt sneak attack on Orange (standard).

Bluff check for Feint: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Melee Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Sakitu steps back, away from the guard. She pulls out her shortbow and aims an arrow at him.

shortbow@white,pbs: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

5 foot step, wield bow, shoot

Selena steps back and works a bit of magic, surrounding herself in an aqua shimmering aura.

"Stop this captain, or I will bring this matter to her attention when I visit."

5' step, cast Chill touch, obviously not close enough to touch yet

First touch: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Second touch: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Selena, looking at the map, taking a 5' step away from Black will still leave you adjacent to pink & green. You may want to cast defensively.

I can't see the map. Google anything tends to be too big for my connection. Not sure why I'd be in the middle of everyone though, as that is not what I intended.

Defensive Casting: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Green will swing at Selena
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 and miss

Yellow 5' steps and swings at bulvi
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Bulvi swings his sword in a mighty arc and hits a beam supporting the ceiling.

Quasit rushes out of her corner, comes up behind Bulvi, then ducks, spins, and thrusts up with her sword into the flank of the nearest soldier as he fends off Selena's magically glowing hand...

Still using Combat Expertise to raise AC to 19

white swings at Sakitu
attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Confirm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
White just seems to find the meaty portion of the fox to sink his sword into

Sakitu yelps in pain as the sword slices into her body.

What happened here? Did we skip a bunch of people? After Bulvi, we should have moved to Findurel, then to the Sergeant. Did Quasit hit Pink?

so I did ugh

Longbow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Fin manages to barely avoid being targeted, as he fires and hits white.

Sakitu gasps as the guard swings at Selena and cuts her viciously. She raises a hand toward the guard and a magic missile shoots forth and splatters against his chest.

magic missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"What's he doing?" cries out Quasit in alarm when she sees the guard calling out toward the mirror. "Gah! I hate being right! I knew they were using that mirror to spy on us! Kill this punk before he can say any more!"

Selena fails to stabilize

Green moves 5ft and swings at Quasit

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 and just misses at the last moment

Perhaps delay your action til after Bulvi's!

Bulvi circles around the enemy leader knowing he must distract the figure from the others. Moving to flank the man he steps forward and slashes.

Power Attack with Longsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Quasit ducks under the blade of the soldier, and then suddenly notices Selena on the ground. For a moment she freezes... it was hard to think of her as the same haughty girl as she lay there on the dirty wooden floor, bathed in her own blood. For a moment Quasit considers pulling out the wand and trying to attend to her, but then her instincts kick in. "No time for that now. Gotta stop these guys first.

The delay had allowed Bulvi to move around into perfect flank position on the sergeant as he called out to the mirror. She smirks at the sergeant, shakes her head at him in false pity, then reaches out and pulls her blade swiftly across his neck from behind...

Delay, 5' step, attack from flank still using Combat Expertise

Melee Attack from flank: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 2 - 1 = 26

Extra Damage for Crit (if applicable): 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

bulvi and Quasit makes short work of the captain, and the rest of the group takes out the lackey

~End of combat~

The mirror seems to be activated for a short time before returning back to being a mirror

Bulvi moves over to Selena. "Get the wands out!" Relieved at dealing with the soldiers he was eager to see Selena stabilised even if it meant she'd be speaking down to them and trying to convince them of the virtues and superiority of her home country that was governed by a treasonous witch throwing the world into a cataclysm... you can't buy arrogance like that, it's breeding!

Quasit pulls out her healing wand. "Saki, see if you can find Nadya in the back. Bull, try and stop the bleeding, I don't know how long it'll take me to get this thing to work."

She kneels beside Selena, her hands still shaking a bit from the excitement of battle, then she tenses up and says the command word...

UMD check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

... and nothing happens.

"Dammit! I thought I had this thing down!"

Fin nods at Quasit. "I'll check for her..."

The ranger, with his bow still ready, cautiously checks for Nadya in the back...

Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Sakitu starts to go with Findurel. She sees him start to move quietly and realizes that she'd probably just provide more noise than help. She returns to Salena's side. "Can we help her?"

Bulvi tries to staunch Selena's bleeding. "I think she'll be alright until you can get it working Quasit."
Heal: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

"I have more experience making holes in people than in plugging them up," says Quasit in mild frustration. She takes a deep breath, closes her eyes and centers herself, then tries again.

UMD: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
CLW spell: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

"I think it worked!" She pats Selena's cheek lightly and speaks in a quiet gentle voice. "Hey Selena, can you hear me sweetie?

Selena wakes up with a start, jolting up then laying back down with a pained groan. "Thanks. Tell me the captain is alive please. I'd like to ask him a few questions before killing him myself."

She sits up and heals herself a bit more.

1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Yea! Now at 12 hp.

Quasit shakes her head. "Nope, he's passed on to his eternal reward, may Pharasma spit on his soul. We didn't have any choice, he was trying to report to someone named Radosek through that mirror over there."

"This is going to be a political mess. On the other hand, his quickness to jump into attacking means all kinds of bad possibilities. The only good possibility is the slight chance of them not knowing who I am." Selena says, looking at his body seemingly troubled and angry, then she starts rifling through his stuff looking for something.

"Like his masters are in league with an evil witch who may or may not be more evil than her mother but is trying bring about a civilization ending cataclysm... so is definitely more malevolent." Bulvi shrugs. "That is to say, I don't particularly care about the politics. She's getting stopped, if you're family earns great prestige and vast swathes of land for their loyalty to Baba Yaga in stopping this it doesn't matter. I just don't want Gollarion as we know it to die."

"I think the important thing is that Chuckles here got off some kind of message to his masters before departing this life, so they've been alerted that things went south for them. Which means that this place isn't safe for us or for Nadya any longer. We need to get out of this village. I think our only chance is to head for that witch tower now, before they have a chance to find us first. It's almost certainly the last thing they'll suspect. And we won't last very long just wandering around in the wilds of this frozen tundra."

Quasit stands up, and looks across the room. "Oh, by the way..."

She grabs a chair, walks it over the the mirror, then slams the chair into the mirror, jumping back to avoid any glass shards.

"Bulvi, you are making several assumptions, and regardless of how close to the mark you are, politics matter. It isn't just about my family, it is a status quo among all the families, and it is all the people under us who become collatoral damage, but most importantly, it is about what kind of help we can get and from whom."

Sakitu holds her breath while Quasit tries the wand again. She squeaks with glee when it seems to work. "Nice job Quasit!" she says before she flies over to Selena and grabs her in a big hug. "I'm so glad you're safe."

When Quasit suggests leaving the village Sakitu agrees. "That makes a lot of sense to me. I don't know if I want to go to the witch tower though. But I also don't want to walk around in the wilderness aimlessly." She steps up to Bulvi and puts a hand on his arm. "What about you? Where do you want to go?"

"The witch's tower, They can wait us out in the wilderness. We have to go on the offensive."

”Plus this village is still swarming with soldiers. It’s only a matter of time before they come in here to report in.”

She sighs and rubs her forehead. ”I don’t suppose it’s still an option to just go home and report all this to your Pathfinder friends and let them handle this, is it? I’m getting a headache and I’m hungry enough to eat a horse. And I feel like I’ve been cold for a week straight. Which blows.”

Fin nods in agreement with Bulvi...
