Adventure Path Reign of Winter

Game Master Almonihah

"Aha! I see you now!" Quick as a snake, Sakitu thrusts a hand towards the creature and two force missiles fly towards it.

magic missile dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
magic missile dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Bulvi lunges at the creature attack Quasit.

Grapple: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Hace picks up some snow and forms a snowball before hurling it at the creature. "We aren't trying to kill you, just leave us alone!"

snowball vs touch?: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Issalissk continues to try and snap his jaws around the annoying thing.

power bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
grab: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

still need the miss chances, its all natural invisibility

"Grrr! Slippery little stinker!" snarls Quasit in frustration. "I really thought I'd get him! Hey, I think it bit me! Aw, now it's personal!"

High to hit: 1d100 ⇒ 29

1 for low, 2 for high: 1d2 ⇒ 1
miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 65

Miss. >50 is hit: 1d100 ⇒ 47

the only thing that seems to hit is the Magic missiles

Hace is on the right track, though wrong direction

Quasit stands tensely in place, waiting for the Murder Wasp to appear again...

Ready Action to attack when it appears.

Readied Melee Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 2 = 29
Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 2 = 12
Miss Chance (1-20): 1d100 ⇒ 100
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Quasit Regular shortsword?

Knowledge (Nature): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Either it's got DR (something other than Cold Iron) or it's got some kind of healing/regeneration going on as I've hit it three times and it only has 10 damage...don't think I'll find out with that roll though...

Tired of playing the guessing game, Fin will wait it out and fire at the red fairy once it appears again...

Quasit Regular shortsword?

Yup. Plain old short sword. Not even masterwork.

Quasit, could you 5ft step to the left? Gives me an opening to use my 15ft cone blast. Also, could we attempt to kick some snow on this thing to reveal it, similar with powder?

I think since Quasit is readying an action, Maka could easily give her a head-fake indicating she needs to move before the fairy reappears to attack. So yes, she can do that.

Thank you

As Quasit stepped to the side, Maka drew in a deep breath before unleashing a torrent of flames with an accompanying roar.

Standard Action activate Fan of Flames for 1 burn, move action Gather Power to reduce burn by 1, 5ft step

Fire Blast, Fan of Flames 15ft Cone, DC16 Reflex 1/2 Damage; Elemental Overflow: 2d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5, 4) + 2 + 2 = 13

The creature reappears, fin misses, quasit hits but not all the damage goes through

reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16 no damage

As maka releases her fire cone the creature swiftly evades the flames

Red strikes at quasit

claw 1: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 hit
claw 2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 hit

Damage 1: 1d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + (2) = 6 2 cold damage
Damage 2: 1d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + (5) = 6 5 cold damage

Hace moves over to Quasit and heals her wounds. clw: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Issalissk continues to try and snap at the illusive fey.

"This seemed to work last time so I'll do it again." Sakitu points a finger at the creature and two more force missiles fly forth.

magic missile dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
magic missile dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Bulvi flails about ineffectually as he grasps air.

High for Chance to Hit: 1d100 ⇒ 20

Sakitu is the only one manage to hit it

Maka continues the torrent of flames from her mouth.

Standard Action activate Fan of Flames for 1 burn, move action Gather Power to reduce burn by 1.

Fire Blast, Fan of Flames 15ft Cone, DC16 Reflex 1/2 Damage; Elemental Overflow: 2d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2, 5) + 2 + 2 = 11

When the evil fairy rakes its freezing claws along her arms, Quasit gives a little shriek of agony and jumps back a step. "Little creep!" she says angrily as she looks down at the freshly oozing blood dripping into the snow.

And then...

Hace moves over to Quasit and heals her wounds

... the wounds close up and the pain subsides as fast as it came.

She looks at Hace and grins. "Oh I could get used to this. Remind me to bake you cookies next time we get near a kitchen. I make a mean macaroon."

Quasit looks down at her sword and frowns. Suddenly she tosses it aside, reaches into her pack and pulls out an alchemist fire. "Maka, I think you've got the right idea. Let's keep throwing fire at this thing til we melt it. These winter fey seem to hate it."

She throws the alchemist fire at the spot she last saw the Murder Wasp.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Miss Chance (1-50): 1d100 ⇒ 83
Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

5 foot step, pull a flask and throw. Don't know it the ice fairy is vulnerable to fire, I leave that to the GM to factor in. Hoping for a hit that makes it burn for that extra round!

Fin will fire at red if it’s stiil up...

Longbow: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 31
Confirm: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 19
Miss<=50: 1d100 ⇒ 5

Quasit in what seems like a lucky moment hits the red creature for damage

Maka tries her best but the creature is still evasive
Ref: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23 no damage

seems almost as if Quasit has taken Fins luck in hitting the creature

the little creature burns a bit as it hisses and strikes at Quasit, its form looking like a Firey Blur

Claw 1: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26 hit
Claw 12: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 miss

Damage 1: 1d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + (5) = 7 5 damage is cold

when it finishes attacking its form again goes invisible

Almost there guys you can do it

"Ha! Didn't like that did ya, you little stinker!"

"Ow! Knock it off would ya?"

Hace watches closely to try and predict where the creature is going to be and to make sure he can keep his teammates alive.

Delay unless someone needs healing.

Issalissk attacks the spot the creature was last seen in again.

power bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
1 for low, 2 for high: 1d2 ⇒ 2
miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 24
grab: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

If not for that miss chance!

Sakitu raises her arms to blast the creature again but it disappears. She squints into the air. "I'm not going to waste my magic shooting into the air. As soon as it reappears, I'll zap it."

Readied action with magic missle

Bulvi moves over to where it was last seen and swings... but hits nothing...

Power Attack Cold Iron Longsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
High to have a chance to hit: 1d100 ⇒ 39
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Alchemist fire damage, round 2: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Plus whatever bonus damage from fire vulnerability

Quasit goes total defense, hoping to dodge any further attacks from the wicked fairy.

Hace finds a wall to smash his head into, "I...hate...fey!"

Fin will fire again...

Longbow: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 20
Miss<=50: 1d100 ⇒ 49

...and miss...

"AGH he's so fast!" Maka growled as her fire breath burned out. With a quick backwards somersault, Maka sent a lash of flame out and ended in a defensive posture.

5ft step back, standard action fire blast, fighting defensively

Fire Blast vs Touch AC; Elemental Overflow, Defensive: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 - 2 = 8
Fire; Elemental Overflow: 2d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5, 5) + 2 + 2 = 14
Miss chance <= 50: 1d100 ⇒ 50

the creature burns, but some of the other wounds seem to heal up and then Sakitu lets out her shots, hitting with enough damage to kill the creature

~~End of Combat~~

Almost forgot Sakitus actions

Quasit looks down at the now visible burned and battered fey creature that had given them all such fits. She squats down, cocking her head a bit to the side. She seems subdued and depressed.

”Well, I guess we know what killed this man anyway.” she says soberly. She pauses then shakes her head. ”Man, am I tired of getting attacked for no reason.”

Fin shrugs. "Yeah Q, as lovable as we are, folk around here don't seem to like us too much...perhaps we should try the cabin now?"

"Surprisingly the most aggressive creatures got stuck on this side of things... you would have believed it would be in the Linnorm Kingdoms... then again centuries of snooty ice witches bossing you around would make anyone grumpy." Bulvi gets ready to go over to the cabin.

Hace pets Issalissk for trying, "Anyone injured? I don't know how many times I can heal you, but I guess I need to find out eventually."

Sakitu slumps to the ground as soon as the combat finishes, landing on her knees. She looks with dismay at the dead bodies near her. "I don't know. This just seems so difficult." Normally she is able to shrug off the strain of the constant attacks but today she just can't. "I don't know if I can keep doing this. I mean, I guess we have to. But it's too hard."

She eyes the cabin warily. "Do we really want to open that door?"

She is 25% injured.

CLW on Sakitu: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Hace wills the healing into his hands, then into Sakitu. "Well, that's 3 times so far today."

Hace wills the healing into his hands, then into Sakitu. "Well, that's 3 times so far today."

Quasit stands up again and goes up to Hace, showing him her wounded arm. ”Owie.” she says affecting a comic childish pout.

down 9 hp

"Well that makes four then." Hace says with a chuckle towards Quasit as he heals her.

CLW: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Sakitu slumps to the ground as soon as the combat finishes, landing on her knees. She looks with dismay at the dead bodies near her. "I don't know. This just seems so difficult." Normally she is able to shrug off the strain of the constant attacks but today she just can't. "I don't know if I can keep doing this. I mean, I guess we have to. But it's too hard."

She eyes the cabin warily. "Do we really want to open that door?"

”Sure, why not?” says Quasit mordantly. ”What’s another ambush at this point? Plus there might be more brandy in there. My sippy flask is empty.”

She steps over and gives Sakitu a brisk rub on the head. ”Sweetie, I get it. You know I do. This is all so ugly and depressing. All this pointless fighting and killing. Sometimes I can’t sleep at night when I start thinking about all the things we’ve had to do. And this is coming from someone used to dodging gangsters and city guards for a living. I suppose that’s part of why I feel so at sea here. I’m used to being able to talk my way out of trouble, or being able to dodge trouble and hide, or choosing to avoid a needlessly risky set-up. But lately it just seems like we’re on a treadmill of monsters and horrors jumping out of the trees at us at every turn. And our only chance to get off the treadmill is to keep walking it. So I get it.”

She offers her friend a hand up. ”But at least we’ll do it together, right? That’s something to hold onto anyway.”

"Well that makes four then." Hace says with a chuckle towards Quasit as he heals her.

”Thank you Hace.” she says, still affecting a childish voice, and follows it up with a little peck on his cheek for good measure.

Then she looks down at the crocodile. ”Don’t be jealous, Issy.”

"Based on your previous line of logic when we first met, I'd be more worried about the girl that shoots fire all over the place." Hace says jokingly back to Quasit.
