BrOp's "Cult of the Ebon Destroyers" (PFS) (Inactive)

Game Master Branding Opportunity

After Daxter casts his spell Farouq commands Adjo to sniff out the mill workers, then starts raging and wildshapes into a dire tiger, hoping to sniff out attackers as well, if the first approach did not work. Depending on what he makes out, Farouq moves in next to Adjo (or wherever he can make one out, or is visible due to glitterdust).

Ursus and Farouq, I will have you come out of delay once Daxter casts his spell, since it has the greatest chance of making the mill workers appear.

On second thought Ursus is going to leave the hidden workers to Farouq, Adjo, and Daxter.

Hearing the panicked cry of Garra and Takuma's comment about spellcasters the big Ulfen bounds across the room and leaps for the raised doorway.

Acrobatics to Jump (including the bonus from Haste)
1d20 + 12 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 12 = 30

I think this is just about one move action. From there move to engage an enemy.

"You're next!", Ursus threatens the bird-man as it steps out of the Ulfen's reach and casts its defensive spell.

The Ulfen bellows as his rage boils over. The change quickly washes over the warrior, his form changing again - fur sprouting from his bare skin, his face shifting to resemble a bear's snout, and his nails growing to blackened sharpened points.

Free Action - Rage and gain Animal Fury attack

The barbarian glares down at the dagger wielding cultists assembled in front of him, emits a bestial growl, and then begins a savage assault - swinging his trunk-like limbs in scything arcs and lunging for a bone crushing bite.

Full Attack

Claw #1
1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33
1d4 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19

Claw #2
1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34
1d4 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18

Hasted Claw
1d20 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24
1d4 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20

Bite
1d20 + 19 ⇒ (13) + 19 = 32
1d4 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18

If the cultist at E33 goes down with less than the full attack I'll 5 foot step into E35 and continue the attack on another cultist.

Daxter will move to L17 and they hear a disembodied voice, like perhaps it is in their head as he casts Crushing Despair.

"Weaklings, give in to your torment, your sadness, your inner pain."

DC 24 Will saves for all in the 30 cone(I think I can catch 5 of them in it)

-Ursus! Take down the spell caster! I'll take care of these ones!

Full attack to cultist D33.
Slash 1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30; Damage 1d10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 6 + (1) = 14 (1D6 electric)
Slash 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21; Damage 1d10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + (4) = 14 (1D6 electric)

Takuma you forgot your extra attack from haste.

Bite

1d20+19
1d4+17

Ursus, isn't the bite attack at a -5?

That's only for using it as a secondary attack when you're mixing it with weapon attacks.

I'm using all natural attacks.

Well I can't find the thread where James clarified this.

So if you'd prefer the attack would be:

Bite
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
1d4 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

Well I can't find the thread where James clarified this.

So if you'd prefer the attack would be:

Bite
1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
1d4 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

Thanks. I don't think there's much of a chance of you not hitting with a 27.

Yeah, it's ultimately not that big of a deal.

It's just bugging me now that I can't find that thread.

Also, retrieving the rod, casting fly, and commanding Garra is all you can do this round (a move, a standard, and a free action). Since you need one hand to cast the spell, this also means that you had to drop the shield (either that, or you had never drawn it).

I was assuming I had the rod in hand. The shield has a quick release (can be thrown as a free action).

Aquila will fly into the upper office. Command Garra to attack the bird creature.

bite 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 26 for 1d4 + 1d6 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + (4) + 8 + 2 = 18 damage
claw 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 31 for 1d4 + 1d6 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + (1) + 8 + 2 = 14 damage
claw 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 32 for 1d4 + 1d6 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + (3) + 8 + 2 = 16 damage
bite 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 14 for 1d4 + 1d6 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + (1) + 8 + 2 = 15 damage

If Garra is badly hurt he'll cast a cure serious (using the rod), else he'll summon monster 4 for 1d3 ⇒ 2 young giant eagles.

Even so, you need one hand free to cast the spell, which means that you are not holding the shield (if you used the rod).

No problem. (Shield was a remnant from the level 2 character, It's not terribly useful for the level 8 variant. (Should get a nice buckler to go with the rod))

Ursus, you are right. Thanks

Slash 3: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33; Damage 1d10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 6 + (3) = 16 (1D6 electric)

Ursus, you are right. Thanks

Slash 3: 1d20+13; Damage 1d10+6+1d6 (1D6 electric)

Threat! Roll to confirm! ;-)

With this adjo attacks the mill worker in I16 after taking a step forward:
(does inspire courage affect damage rolls from Adjo and Farouq, if yes every hit gets another +2 damage, lso miss chance, does scent reduce it?)
and I tried my best for all calculations, please correct any mistakes, I never played a druid in wildshape....)

bite 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24 Damage1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
claw 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23 Damage1d6 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
claw 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14 Damage1d6 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
bite 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18 Damage1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Possible grapple: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

Farouq goes for the enemy in L12 first.

bite 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29 Damage2d6 + 9 ⇒ (5, 5) + 9 = 19 Miss: 1d100 ⇒ 33
claw 1d10 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25 Damage2d4 + 9 ⇒ (4, 3) + 9 = 16 Miss: 1d100 ⇒ 64

claw 1d10 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25 Damage2d4 + 9 ⇒ (3, 1) + 9 = 13 Miss: 1d100 ⇒ 94

bite 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32 Damage2d6 + 9 ⇒ (6, 6) + 9 = 21 Miss: 1d100 ⇒ 53

Possible grapple: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36

Size modifer in, with miss chance, from the position we are in I thought Farouq cannot get to the one Adjo attacks, so waiting for the GM to make his call..

Yeah, you get the Inspire Courage bonus to damage on every attack. Alex can fix that easily enough.

You missed the size penalty (-1) to attack rolls for both Adjo and Farouq.

If Farouq is attacking the same target as Adjo he won't need miss chance rolls since that enemy has been Glitterdusted.

In the odd chance that that worker survives the flurry of claws and bites , you should roll a couple grapple checks to grab the worker.

and I tried my best for all calculations, please correct any mistakes, I never played a druid in wildshape....)

I think you get a size penalty to hit of -1 cause you get large.

Montesquieu will continue Inspire Courage move to L13 and cast Grease on the 10 ft square (K17,K18,L17,L18) (Reflex Save DC 18)

Prepping for a face-to-face PFS game this evening. Probably won't get to the next combat summary until I get home tonight.

If Garra is badly hurt he'll cast a cure serious (using the rod), else he'll summon monster 4 for 1d3 young giant eagles.

Aquila, according to your memorized spell list that's part of your profile, you don't have CSW memorized. Is that not an accurate spell list?

I meant the cure moderate. Cure serious isn't a level 3 spell for a druid and the rod won't work.

OK, thanks, Aquila.

The reason I did not finish the round, is because I need input from Farouq. The presence of the grease spell makes for a bit of a headache. I didn't want to assume that Tiger-Farouq would march through the grease spell, plus there would be a lot of squeezing involved for the big kitty.

Now that you have the updated map, Farouq, what do you want to do?

Is Garra hitting it's target? (I've not seen his attacks in the summary)

It's in there.

Freshly healed, Garra the eagle strikes at the foes around him, nearly tearing the guard in front of him to shreds. (bite (13) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 26, hit! Damage (4) + (4) + 8 + 2 = 18 damage; claw2 (18) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 31, hit! Damage (3) + (1) + 8 + 2 = 14 damage; claw3 (19) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 32, hit! Damage (3) + (3) + 8 + 2 = 16 damage; bite (1) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 14, automatic miss)

Assuming the positioning doesn't change too much do you mind having Garra 5 foot step to F35?

Even though I was married almost a year ago (wow, has it been that long?) my wife and I are finally taking our honeymoon this week. Because of that, I will probably be offline for most of this week, beginning tomorrow (Sunday) and returning on Friday. Take the time to plan your tactics, I'll be back next weekend.

Bummer.

Well, have a good time.

It's a shame we didn't leave off at a place where we could just RP.

Have a good time!

Well you have a week to do it but Alex wanted new actions for Farouq.

Have fun!
And... for the next round of Takuma:

-Understood. I'll take down the spellcaster. -says the samurai, seeing that Ursus is unable to ear him anymore. Then, while getting near the birdman, he challenge him- Be ready.

Move to D34, challenge the birdman in D35, and attack him.
Slash: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32; Damage: 1d10 + 6 + 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 6 + (4) + 8 = 28 (1d6 electric and +8 for challenge)

Slash: 1d20+13; Damage: 1d10+6+1d6+8 (1d6 electric and +8 for challenge)

That's a threat again!

"Let's try and take them alive for questioning."

Unless a real threat emerges Aquila will cast stabilize on a downed opponent. He will order Garra to take down any remaining opponents and then move 5 foot (and as Garra can fly it could just be 5 feet up)

Bite 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 18 for 1d4 + 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + (5) + 10 = 19
Claw 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 33 for 1d4 + 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + (2) + 10 = 15

Claw 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 33 for 1d4 + 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + (2) + 10 = 15

Confirming:

1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 31 for an additional 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

See that, Daxter is in the way too, not brilliant, but still Farouq moves in carefully, squeezing next to Daxter and attacks the pone worker (so just the bite attck)

Acrobatics 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
what a waste of a 20...

Hi folks,

I'm back from my honeymoon (had a great time relaxing), but am being dragged off to a familial commitment this evening. I hope to be able to post at least once this weekend (I have a computer with me this time and a good internet connection), but with trips to the in-laws you never know. Sorry for the additional delay. I will definitely be back in regular circulation by Sunday eve.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Alex

P.S.: Is anyone planning on going to PaizoCon this year? I've heard from one of you, but wanted to let you all know that I'll be running my PFS scenario (The Dalsine Affair) there twice over the weekend.

No PaizoconUK for me, I am on holiday already - and the other one is a bit far away....

Going to both the PaizoCon in Seattle as the PaizoConUK in Birmingham.

I'll try and get a seat at one of your The Dalsine Affair sessions!

Hurray Monday!

How was your day with the in-laws?

No PaizoCom here in Spain. Now, if you escuse me, I'll cry in a corner, lonely... snif...

I'll try and get a seat at one of your The Dalsine Affair sessions!

Ok, I'm signed on for the sunday slot! :-)

Excellent! I'm also participating in the Grand Melee, so we'll have a chance to meet there as well.

Ouch. I think Farouq needs a hand. If he drops out of rage HP I think he's going to die.

It might be worth just dropping out of rage now.

Farouq cannot drop out of Rage, or he might should, going unconscious and dying at -15. Yes, he needs help.

Now, wildshape does not provoke, could he wildshape into an earth elemental and 5ft step into the ground with earth glide?

Btw., is there really an auto-hit, they still might roll a 1, or?

I think the autohit is him telling he rolled a 20.

BTW, if you plan on wild shaping a lot, make sure you have a mage armor running.

Got that, yeah not 100% familiar with high level wildshape, mage armor seems to be a must.... - too late now.

But wildshaping into something non threatening, like a tiny bird and 5 foot fly might be a smart move.

Oh, and calling for help might work too! ;-)
