Aquila will fly to M17 and summon a augmented Giant Eagle (P12, large)
Just noticed this. By augmented do you mean advanced? If so, then that would require a Summon Nature's Ally V spell, as the advanced adds one to the level. You can summon a standard giant eagle (with 8 extra hp for your level) with Summon Nature's Ally IV.
EDIT: Never mind, it was explained to me.

:(
R.I.P. Takuma, the proudest and most noble semi-orc this side of Minkai.
Ravenath, if you want to create a new character and rejoin us after this fight, you are more than welcome.
NO!!!!
Takuma you will be avenged.
Farouq, Aquila, let loose the dogs of war!
Note: When I say dogs I mean cats/birds.

How easy is it for large creatures to move around and get to the garuda? And how high are the rooms? If height could be a problem a flying creature would do it, as a griffon. On this it depends what Farouq will summon and which way he sends Adjo. Also, could he sent it through the other room upstairs, or is that not clear?
|
I realize it might be a little late for this and it might not be enough but were you taking into account Takuma's DR 3 vs his challenge target (the Garuda)?
If you weren't that would mean he has a good 20ish hp left.
And as a Ronin Takuma can cancel the first hit that takes him below 0 as long as it does not kill him.
With the amount of attacks the Garuda has it probably won't matter though...

Well both of the major enemies we're dealing with right now have good ACs so we need stuff with strong attack bonuses. You can summon a tiger as a standard action and they attack at +10/+9 respectively.
You could easily move to a position to see up into the office and summon directly up there. From that location they could squeeze through the hole in the wall and jump down onto the enemies below. Also, being a cat your shaman ability lets you summon them as a standard action (as opposed to a full-round) and gives them bonus temporary hit points.
Ouch. Can you give some general guidelines at least so Alex has an idea of what you want to do?

Oh, I didn't know he was a ronin. Disregard the DR comment but that helps too. With a little luck that might let him survive another glorious round. What do you say Alex?
Without Master (Ex) : At 8th level, the ronin’s fierce independence allows him to overcome staggering odds. The ronin can summon up this willpower as an immediate action. He can use it in one of three ways. He can use his willpower whenever an attack would reduce him to fewer than 0 hit points but wouldn’t kill him, to instead be at 1 hit point and conscious. He can use his willpower after making an attack roll to confirm a critical hit to reroll the attack roll. Finally, he can use his willpower to take 10 on a skill check during combat, even if the situation or the skill would not normally allow him to take 10. A ronin can use this ability once during a combat.

Ah, used the old 3.5 giant eagle there... My mistake
No problem.
Also, I recommend Aquila pull back behind the wall again in case the Naga decides to toss another Lightning Bolt.
Edit: Nevermind.
It might be worth having the smaller eagle and Garra pick off the mooks since they seem to be doing decent damage themselves, setting up flanks for the Garuda, and they seem to be generally much weaker.

Yeah, but none of them were within a 5 foot step and it seems that the Naga is quite nasty with it's ranged attacks, so better to drop everything on her and keep her occupied.
We really need to regroup!

Takuma had a glorious death. No better death for a samurai: surrounded by enemies, determined, without fear, without running away.
I'll make a new Society character that I had in mind. But I have a few questions:
-Takuma is definitely dead as Society character, right?
-The new character will have the 2 exp points of this module, right?

Takuma may survive another round. We have to wait to hear from Alex but regardless he was, without a doubt, the samurai all samurai hope to be.

No, he can come back afterward at no cost. Assume the Society pays to have him revived.
-The new character will have the 2 exp points of this module, right?
That rule refers to the rewards at the end. Whichever character you end up giving credit for this adventure will end up getting 2 xp instead of 3 xp. The new character comes in at level 8 just like Takuma did.
|

What do you mean with "2 px instead of 3 px"?
Here's the relevant section from the PFS doc about this module:
Playing a module from beginning to end earns a player 3 XP and 4 PA. There are no day job rolls when playing a Pathfinder-Society-sanctioned module. If a character dies during the module, the player may make a new legal PC and the GM will integrate the new character as soon as possible. However, the player earns 1 fewer XP and PA each time a character dies, with a minimum of 1 XP and 1 PA earned for the entire module. In addition, each time a player’s PC dies, the player receives 1/3 less wealth than normal.

I didn't take it into account, but it wouldn't have made a difference. I rolled the full attack for the garuda, and he hit with all the remaining attacks for around 30 hp of damage.

Daxter, that's a high-enough roll to accomplish a 5' high jump. That's not high enough to clear the floor above (which is at 10' in height), but high enough so that you could grab onto the ledge and pull yourself up with a successful DC 10 Climb check. With a good roll, you could be in square M18 and still have a standard action left to cast your spell (since that would be about 60' of movement).
EDIT: Spelling

As far as I know Farouq isn't a lion shaman, he's (currently) a regular druid.
Ah, my mistake. I assumed based on Adjo and the preference for lion form. I suppose that was just for thematics. I can appreciate that.
Well it looks like the tiger is the best summon for straight up fighting with its +10/+9 attack bonuses.
Satyrs are also worth considering. They have good HP/AC/and DR which might let it last a few rounds against the Garuda. Also, they have really good spells. Both Suggestion and Fear could easily turn things around for us (especially with the -3 penalty to saves Daxter just put on the Naga).

With the shelves it's pretty hard for a large creature to get around in that room unless you can fly. Getting there might be some trouble as well. The double doors next to where Farouq is standing are unlocked, but are currently closed and will take a move action to open. He does not now this yet, but at the far side of the neighboring room there is another set of doors which also need to be opened (and which might be locked). The easiest way to get there (if you can fly) is going the way everybody else has been moving: through the upstairs (10' up) office.
No worries, thanks for letting us know.

Apropos my not catching the samurai rules: I am not perfect. The reason I try to post all the rolls I make and what modifies them is so that you can double-check my math or let me know if I've forgotten something. I catch most things, but I certainly don't catch all of them. Please take a look at what I post and check my numbers; we deal with a lot of modifiers at this level.

Yeah, I usually look things over myself pretty carefully but I don't know much about samurai either.
If you're waiting for Daxter to do your combat update you should probably just roll the climb check yourself. He won't be awake for at least four or five hours.

No, Takuma is not dead as a society character. The rules for running these modules (as opposed to the regular scenarios) state that no condition lasts past the end of the module, including death.
I would suggest creating a new character and playing him/her for the rest of this module. You could also "say" that Takuma had been raised and continue playing with him.

As far as I understood your movement for the two giant eagles, there is currently no room there. The first giant eagle takes up squares Q-R 11-12, while the second one takes up Q-R 7-8 on the other side of the naga. Did you not mean for them to go there?
|
|
I believe the large eagles are hovering 5 feet off the ground so that they are staggered with the naga. The smaller birds are on the ground.
Hovering requires a DC 15 Fly check (see Core Rules, p. 96). You are also considered flat-footed while flying. I'm not sure you would want that. If you fail the Fly check by more than 5, you fall to the ground, prone. The giant eagles have a Fly mod of +8.

Ah, in that case just move the large giant eagles 5 foot north, so the medium sized eagle and Garra can take the squares to the south.

Well if they do that they'll be squeezing on top of the silk worm cases.

If you can make the jump check (or can fly) and/or Climb check just as Daxter did above you can get to a place where you can at least look into the room and still have a standard action left. The other option is to try and find a way around through the other doors. They are currently closed, although Farouq is standing next to them and may open them this round. Once you are through there, there are another set of doors on the far side of that room that may or may not be locked.
The short answer is no. Ursus is currently at 11 hp, although he is about to drink a potion which he hopes will cure him. If the potion is similar to the others the mill workers were carrying, it is a potion of CMW.
that's a difficult question to answer, as everyone's positioning may change before your turn in the initiative comes up.
No problem. It's a big combat with a lot going on.
|
|
Yes, it would take a little acrobatics (DC20) and climb check (DC10) but you can do the same thing Daxter just did to get into position.
No, but at this point I don't think dropping out of rage is an option. If I drop out of rage I'm essentially removing myself as a combatant and with Takuma down I don't think we can afford to do that.
Confusion isn't a bad idea. If you do the acrobatics/climb thing you can get into position to hit the garuda and two mooks with it. Healing Ursus is also an option as is reupping the party's haste.

Ah, then the small 'eagles' will just attack the mooks.

Assuming he can do the ninja jump up into the office Montesquieu should try his Confusion centered on the bottom right corner of N9. I think that hits all the enemies without clipping Aquila's summons.
Ursus pulls the stopper from the vial with one claw. The man-bear puts the potion to his snout for just a moment before greedily downing the container's contents.
Perception to Identify Potion
The Ulfen belches loudly in satisfaction before tearing at the other adjacent dying cultist for more potions.

Aquila did you edit your movement post at some point?
In this post I suggested for you to move but I edited it because in the next post you had already done so.

And I'm pretty sure Garra's reflex save has to be higher than +5.
Even if Garra is built at druid level -3 (assuming he didn't take boon companion) his reflex save would be:
4 base
3 dexAnd that's assuming he doesn't have a cloak of resistance or something.
Garra has a relex save of +9, currently +10 due to haste.
The medium sized summoned eagle was a giant eagle with the young template applied to it and augmented, see this post. So it has evasion and started with 28 hp and 8 temp hp.
