Amazing Red's Slave Master's Mirror. (Inactive)

Game Master Daxter

Khamul decides to focus his efforts on the leader first. He casts a spell and moves into the room AI-20, charging his scythe with arcane power along the way.

Blindess/deafness: DC 16 Fort save or permanently blinded.

"What you're doing here is over" Truk warns. "Who's in charge?"

Fort: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

The female gnoll wielding a flail snarls at Truk after resisting Khamul's spell. "I am Chau and I rule this territory greenskin. Leave or I will gnaw on your bones."

Beltin casts lead blades before heading upstairs. He can't really make out what's going on, but he knows a fight when he lip reads one.

As hostilities rise he calls upon the blessing of the metal.

+1 morale to attacks and saves vs. fear

He closes toward the battle AK 14

"That's what you think!" retorts the wee gnome. "We're from the Pathfinder Society! And we're not going to let you keep on doing what you're doing, no siree! So I strongly suggest you just run away! Jadrek, you tell 'em!"

Inspire (+1)!

Jadrek bellows loudly and charges into the fray! Charging C.

Claw (charge, inspire, bless): 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 = 12
Grab: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 33

Truk lumbers forward to join the bear in battle. Double move forward.

Zirt inspires as her bar takes ahold of Chau. Enora moves over and puts a protective spell on Khamul. Barkskin!

Chau growls as she puts a hurting on the bar.

Flindbar: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Shield Bash: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Her companion glares at the bar, instilling the animal with bouda's eye before cackling.
-2 attacks and -2 AC until she stops cackling.

Party is up!

Beltin stops and knocks the side of his head with his fist for a few moments - he's suddenly developed a distinct, metallic ringing in his ears. He gets a sudden bolt of inspiration, and casts silence on a holy symbol of Idomedae, and then moves up close to Chau. He suddenly feels very peaceful.

Cast and move to AP14. Beware: silence 20' radius emanation, centered on Beltin's bottom right square.

Khamul nods in thanks to Enora as he moves further into the room (AO-20) and casts another spell at the beefy gnoll with the shield.

scorching ray
ranged touch: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 - 4 = 20
fire: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 3, 4) = 17

Confirm:
ranged touch: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 - 4 = 11
fire: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 6, 3) = 16

oh sorry, I had a misunderstanding. R is the special gnoll, and C is the chief? I'd like to cancel the silence and go to AQ20 instead (double move)

Khamul, there is a bless bonus on the scorching ray. your confirmation number is 12, not 11

I'm not all that familiar with witches, but isn't it -2 to AC /or/ attacks, not both?

Also, Khamul, Zirt is inspiring courage, which adds 1 to your attack and damage rolls with the ray.

Jadrek growls loudly in annoyance at the laughing monstrosity, squeezing his victim lovingly in bear fashion. Zirt squeaks angrily at the laugher. "Hey, you big fatso! Who're you laughing at? Your father must have married a... a... a big ugly monster, to have spawned something as ugly as you!" Cast lesser confusion on the witch. Will DC 16.

Squezz: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9
Included the -2 to attacks; please ignore it if not applicable.

She is a special kind of witch. 1/day she can target penalize 2 stats rather than one.

Khamul's fiery ray score a devastating blow while Beltin moves forward.

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

The chief shakes off Zirt's spell and shrugs off the bear's embrace. Jadrek fails to maintain. Truk and Enora!

I forgot to include the +5 for maintaining the grapple.

Truk headbutts the monstrous hyena-woman with his reinforced helm. ”That’s for being a slaver!”

Bonk (bless): 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 10
Damage: 1d4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 = 9

Enora will chant, hindering Chau's defenses, which gives Jadrek the opening needed to maintain the grapple. -2 to AC.

Truk still misses with his headbutt though despite the advantage.

Chau continues to bash upon the bar.

Flindbar: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Flindbar Confirming Threat: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

2d8 + 12 ⇒ (3, 6) + 12 = 21

Shieldbash: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Since she has shield slam she gets a free bull rush, her result would be 9 + 11 so 20 CMD which knocks Jadrek back 5 feet breaking the grapple.

The gnoll-witch attempts to cast a spell on Beltin.

Cast Defensively DC17: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

She loses her spell however but continues cackling. Party up.

Khamul weaves another spell and summons a fire beneath the witch!

spontaneous immolation
fire damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 2) = 12
DC 15 Fort save for half and to prevent catching on fire (1d6 fire damage on her turn, which will require concentration checks for continuous damage)

"Burn doggies!" the oracle growls, waving his sword menacingly while summoning a gift from Iomadae herself.

concentrate to cast defensively: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
blistering invective, intimidate to demoralize 30' radius: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
fire: 1d10 ⇒ 10 plus shaken as per demoralize
flex 15 or catch them doggie hairs on fire

Truk rears back to headbutt the lady gnoll again.

Bonk (bless): 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 11
Damage: 1d4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10

Seriously...

Witch Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Witch Flex: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Chau Flex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Enora and Zirt!

Jadrek HP: -1/42

"Eeeeeep!!!!" screeches the gnome as the big bear is battered and bashed before falling to the ground unconscious. "You are a big, FAT, mean, ugly... you... you... you cockroach!!"

Grabbing her healing wand from her belt, the gnome hurries forward to heal the big bear, patting him comfortingly on his shaggy head.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
37 charges left. Bar HP: 2/42.

Enora will channel! 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7 It gets everyone except for Truk, but includes the bar.

Chau will move on to her next target.

Flindbar vs Truk: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Shield Bash vs Truk: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

The witch Rothur puts a hex on Truk and continues to cackle! -2 attacks. Party is up.

Beltin strikes out at the witch, hoping to gain her undivided attention.

1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 = 10
1d10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Ewww. Oooh, as a side note are any of them recognizable as followers of Lamashtu (holy symbol or the like)?

The chief has an unholy symbol actually.

Truk growls as the invisible witch-magic settles on him. The big orc steps over to flank with his ursine friend and headbutts the ugly gnoll.

Bonk (bless, hex, flank): 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 1 - 1 - 2 + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8

Enora glares at the witch (-2 to saves) and chants to continue her curses.

Truk lands his headbutt and drops the chief. The witch has a look of panic in her eyes.

Khamul and Zirt?

Sorry, didn't realize we were on a new round after I cast spontaneous immolation. I think Khamul also should have been further up than he is on the map right now.

Khamul casts a spell and his whole arm frosts over. He rushes up to the witch and tries to touch her!

frigid touch
melee touch attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
cold: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 5, 5) = 18
plus staggered for 1 round

You guys should all remember the +1 to attack and damage from inspire...

Zirt taps the bear with the healing wand again, then pats him gently on the rump. "Go get 'em, Jadrek!" she exclaims. The big bear growls loudly and swipes at the efil gnoll with both claws and his mouf!

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
36 charges left. Bar HP: 14/42.

Bar Swipe (inspire, bless, prone): 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 7

Bar Swipe (inspire, bless, prone): 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9
Grab: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 13 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 17

Bite: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8

Note: I didn't include the -2 to attacks, because I'm not sure if that's still up. Also, if Truk is flanking, then please add +2 to the attacks above. He'd said he was, but isn't there on the map.

Khamul walks up, his cold touch staggering the witch before she is mowed down by a bar.

Combat over.

Among the books on the bookshelf are several hundred pages of notes written in a strange language.

Perception checks?

Perceptinome: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

"Oh, it's in a language I don't understand," laments the gnome sadly.

Bar Healing: 4d8 + 4 ⇒ (7, 4, 8, 7) + 4 = 30
32 charges left. Bar HP: 42/42.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Truk joins the others in looking over the books.

perception, +3 if visually based, auto-fail if sound: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 So 26 if visual

Beltin finds that one of the books is out of place, after he pulls on the book, the bookcase spins to reveal a secret room!

Behind the rotating bookshelf is a small, unlit room carved out of the hill. The room is unadorned and contains only a mirror.

Khamul cautiously casts detect magic and enters the room. "It seems our quarry has escaped, but we have at least uncovered her secret room. Come, let's explore so we can report our findings back to the Society."

"So, do we want to take this thing with us? Maybe after sending the rest of the pups whimpering home and seeing to the slaves?"

Feel free to reread the opening intro for those that have forgotten.

A large map of Absalom hangs on the south wall, riddled with pins and crossed with colorful thread hangs on the bedroom wall, shaking slightly when you opened the secret room.

Did we miss something? Our goal was to get the spymaster and the mirror. The spymaster is gone, so we grab the mirror. The books and map are of course useful in lieu of the spymaster.

You're on to something...

Truk rushes over to loop at the map carefully!

Knowledge(Local), (Geography), or (Nobility) please.

Truk ponders what he's looking at.

Local: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Knowledge (nobility): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Khamul studies the map and the notes.

Zirt finishes consoling her shaggy friend and comes over to examine the map with the others.

Knowledge (Local, Geography, or Nobility): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

With Khamul and Truk's help, Zirt is able to ascertain major patterns in the placement of pins and string suggesting al’Jakri has found ways to spy on not only a dozen Absalom families but also a large number of the city’s more prestigious institutions, such as the Forae Logos and the Arcanamirium. Decoding the map entirely would take days and would still rely on considerable speculation without additional data. Perhaps the society would be able to make sense of it.

"Shiny. So, we get the case, stuff the mirror in it and leave? Take a few poor souls with us and get gone."

So booking it?

Well, we're leaving this room at least, since it seems fully explored. Pretty much the only thing to do would be for someone to try and operate the mirror. (Not a particularly Beltin thing to do, but maybe the noooome wants a go?)

We did pass by a wing of the complex, so we'll poke our head in there on the way out. And get as many slaves out as we can on the way out.

Well to take the map with you without disturbing the pins requires a dex/sleight of hand check. And go ahead and post dayjobs/PFS #s

The Nome studies the mirror briefly after returning from the map.

UMD?: 10 + 10 = 20

Give me a will save noome.
