Baldwin the Merciful's Razor Coast: Black Spot (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

So where is the group heading?

Markus takes note of the weaken boards ner the large hole in the deck. There is pile a debris down below. It's quite dark. He also sees that you'll need some sore of rope to help get to the aft of the ship.

Marcus will head toward the double doors. Examining the door for traps

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

He will then open the doors

Markus leads the others to edge of the collapsed decking. He figures he can hug the port wall and make it around the hazard, and be able to get to the hallway on the other side. He figures he can tie a rope or two to the other side to assist the others.

Anyone wishing to cross to the other side needs to make an Acro DC 15 to hug the port side. If a rope is tied to other side (mast) the Acro check is 10.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16...Psssheww that was a close one

Marcus carefully makes his way across and ties off the rope and offering aid for all to cross.

What is everyone else going to do?

Markus nearly slips into the hole but he catches himself at the last moment. with and iron grip his fingers find a nook in the port wall to dig into. After he finally manages to get tot he other side he sees a mast and ties off his rope then tosses it to the other side.

Updated map

Markus you are standing near a mast and that is where you can secure a rope.

There are two doors on either side of the hallway, and at the end of the all the door has been ripped from it's hinges.

everyone can make perception check.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Seeing Marcus make his way across, Dinetta follows behind, walking with ease until she suddenly slips, just managing to grab onto the rope to save herself from yet another unlibriarianlike fall.

The librarian's arms flap away furiously but she manages to snag the rope to steady herself.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

"Hey, we got a job to do! Stop messing around!" She chuckles.

Doh - missed the perception check.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Poulain crouches close to the stair top, bow drawn, acting as overwatch. perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Marcus eyes the door warily getting his weapon ready. Sounds like we may have some company in that room

Marcus nods his head toward the room

Revhi tilts her head. "So it seems. We will back you up." She says with a gesture towards the door.

Dinetta nods in agreement.
Sounds like scratching. Can you hear it?

So far Markus and Dinetta are in hallway, and the rest of the group is in the cargo hold on the other side of the collapsed decking.

C'mon you three, we got company over here

Revhi follows behind Marcus, ready to support him.

Marcus, Dinetta, Revhi move make their way down the hallway, while Jean, Davkas, and the Captain stay int he hold lending ranged support and acting as a rear guard

He drawls his rapier, "RATS...biggun's'

RD 1: Brine Zombies

Four creatures appear as a rotting humanoid dressed in tattered and ragged clothing. Their semi-bloated body glistens from the slimy mixture of water and seaweed that hangs from its form. Their rotting flesh is blue-green in color. No semblance of life burns in its eyes. They slowly shuffle closer to doorway.

Knowledge religion or sailor check

RD 1: Dire Rats

Four filthy rats the size of a small dog scurry up form the hold below, their noses twitch as fresh food tempts them. They have a coat of coarse fur, a long and scabby tail, and two glittering eyes.

they spent all round climbing up.

Is the passage wide enough for two of us to stand side by side? It looks to be 10' wide, but I cannot quite tell.

ROUND 1, INIT 12

Sailor: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19...Looks like davy jones let a few souls loose

Is the circular thing behind us a mast? I am looking to get us behind it and create a choke pt.

If so Marcus will make his way to the choke pt and delay until one of the zombies makes his way to within range.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 - 2 = 7 Damage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26...that's a bummer

Fighting defensively and using crane style to add a +4 to my AC on the first melee attack on me

If not full attack on one of the zombies

Flurry 1: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 - 2 = 15 Weapon 1: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Is the passage wide enough for two of us to stand side by side? It looks to be 10' wide, but I cannot quite tell.

The designer created a map that is 10 feet per hex, I tried to tweak the grid to make it fit. It is 10 feet wide.

Pretty sure Marcus and Dinetta can stand side by side, effectively forming a choke point.

Dinetta steps next to the monk, drawing a dagger as she does so, and then slashes at the zombie

Knowledge(religion): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Attack-dagger: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Although small, the dagger rips a slash across the undead's midsection.

Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Profession (sailor): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Revhi takes out her holy symbol and holds it aloft. "Be returned to Davy Jone's locker you abominations!" A blast of energy flies out and strikes the undead! Then a copy of Revhi appears next to her, mimicking her actions.

Channel Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 2) = 9

DC 15 will save for half damage. Also activating my copycat ability as a move action to give me a single mirror image.

Save from channel:

BZ1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
4 damage
BZ2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
9 damage
BZ3: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
9 damage
BZ4: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
4 damage

Markus, yes the circular item behind you is the mast, it provides cover of -4 ranged attack. It's not a complex battle standing firm at or near the doorway provides a descent defensive position. Especially with dinetta next to you.

Revhi channels his positive energy damaging each of the zombies, some more than others. Markus hits the closest zombie but his hands don't do as much damage as he would expect (10 HP). Although between the blunt trauma and the positive energy the creature is quite haggard looking. Dinetta uses her dagger as slashing weapon and rips a gash in the zombie in front of her (3 HP).

Updated RD 1 Map

*Jean and Davkas have RD 1 actions remaining

I'll DMPC Jean and Davkas if they don't post in the next couple hours.

Cursing the zombies under his breath, Poulain draws his dueling sword and moves in to attack. attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5critical confirm: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16critical damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Jean you are on theother side of the fallen in floor ad quite a distance form the zombies. You do however have four dire rats about to attack you. that bing said, I'll adjust you attack to go after one fo the dire rats.

Jean draws his sword and slashes the nearest rat, slicing it open form neck to tail.

I'll move you on the map T:17, in front of the capt

RD 1: Davkas DMPC

Not wanting to waste a his magical energies on such lowly creatures Davkas uses his staff to whack at the nearest dire rat.

att: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21;dam: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

He thunks the creature hard, but not quite hard enough to kill it.

RD2: Capt Riggs

"I've got Davkas backside Jean. Finish the right flanked creatures." With that he steps to R;17, hesitates till a rat flanks, then thrusts his blade into Davkas.

Jean you can make perception check DC 14 and you notice what the Captain does behind you.

rapier att, keen: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21;1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

bleed 3 at the start of Davkas' turn.

The wizard is shocked that the blade pierces his back.

24 HP, plus 3 bleed if not healed.

RD 2: brine zombies

The two zombies closest to Dinetta and Markus attack, while the other two shuffle a bit closer to fill the gaps.

it dawns on those fighting the zombies that these are quite unusual, each has a short sword looking blade surgically attached to one arm.

dinetta: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15;damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Markus: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20;damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

I believe both of those attacks miss.

"Traitorous dog! Zis Captain 'as attacked us!"

Everyone can make perception check to hear Jean yell out.

Not to be "that guy", but you forgot a confirmation roll on that bite attack baldwin.

Revhi whips around at Jean's words with confusion. But turncoat or not, there are still undead to deal with. Plus the healing will help her allies, so she channels again!

Channel: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 3) = 13

DC 15 will save for half. Excluding the rats if they are close enough.

confirmation on jean

bite: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8;damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Revhi I;ll update the map tonight but from your position you channel only goes out 30 feet that will not heal davaks unless you move. So are you focusing on the undead and the unknown of what is in the room or turning back to help Jean's grouping? decisions decisions...

Uhh, I suppose I will have to see the map. Is it possible to move in order to catch Davkas and the undead still?

ROUND 2, INIT 12

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24...So the captain is a traitor, he will be dealt with as soon as I finish these briny bastids

Marcus continues his assault on the Z in front of him

Flurry 1: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 - 2 = 21 Weapon 1: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Flurry 2: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 8 - 2 = 20 Weapon 2: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Fighting defensively, using crane wing on the first attack. AC 25 with wing, AC 21 without

Markus destroys the zombie in front of him, then whacks the one in front of dinetta.

Revhi here is map with a 30 ft channel template on it given your current position. You will need to move towards the rats to heal. remember there is thick mast in the way also.

updated RD 2 map

Revhi turns and gives a confused look, then an angry one. "The deepest circle of hell is reserved for turncoats!" She moves over to them and channels again, but this one instead of healing, devastates anything living it touches.

Negative Channel Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10

DC 15 will for half damage. Moving over to about 19 and excluding the party members with selective channeling. Hopefully that helps burst all the rats down so we can focus on the captain.

Round 2

Wanting to take the zombies down as quickly as possible, Dinette jabs in with her tiny rapier which she intentionally misses with attempting to distract the zombie before the dagger follows in behind slicing at the undead monstrosity.

Move Action: Feint (Improved Feint)
Feint(bluff): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25 vs DC (10+bab+Wis or 10+Sense Motive)

Standard: Attack-dagger: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1 <-- slashing

If feint successful add sneak damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 <-- to hear Jean (I assume she hears everything including the Captain's deceptive breathing with that roll)
