[CORE] GM Chadius's Shades of Ice (Inactive)

Game Master chadius

Peter moves and tries to hit the axe thug.

Atk Grt Swd + PA + FE: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 232d6 + 9 ⇒ (5, 5) + 9 = 19

I assume that the axe thug has fallen. =P

The ranger spits out over the falling body of the axe thug, and turn his eyes to the white thug direction. "You'll be the next, bastard."

Peter's not much for bar room brawls, and takes down the axe wielding thug with a mighty swing. He turns and threatens White, who is too busy drooling in Lasaraleen's direction to notice. Giovanni sees a spot open up where he could potentially recover without reprisal.

Round 3
Peter (2 nonlethal)
Alosius (2 nonlethal)
Korin (2 damage, 3 nonlethal)
Lasaraleen (4 nonlethal)
Giovanni (10 damage, disabled)
Haliphod
Bar Patrons (White 5, Blue 2)

Giovanni's turn. Peter opened up another space for you to step back and heal. I don't know if you want it or you'd rather delay.

With a grateful, albeit weak, nod to Peter, GIovanni steps to the side, and heals himself.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7.

Giovanni quickly takes advantage of the situation and heals himself.

"Wait a minute! You call me a hippo?" Blue is not amused by the Gnome's joke.
Unarmed vs Alosius: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Unarmed Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
"Oh yeah, the hippo likes to charge. I gets it now." Blue hiccups.

Meanwhile, White tries to kick Lasaraleen in his misguided at attempt at a mating ritual.
Unarmed vs Lasaraleen: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
Unarmed Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
"Hic- reminds me of me first date. Capt I was really drunk back then!"

Round 4
Peter (2 nonlethal)
Alosius (2 nonlethal)
Korin (2 damage, 3 nonlethal)
Lasaraleen (6 nonlethal)
Giovanni (3 damage)
Haliphod
Bar Patrons (White 5, Blue 2)

Alright, wrap this up.

Feeling for confident again, Giovanni steps in, and takes a swing.

Morningstar: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8, for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 damage.

Lasaraleen takes another hit and decides she is feeling too close to passing out.

She steps back and casts cure light on herself.

Clw : 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Peter swings his sword in the direction of the white patron.

Atk Grt Swd + PA + FE: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 202d6 + 9 ⇒ (5, 5) + 9 = 19

"I told you!", screams Peter while cut the patron's flesh with his weapon.

I feel better at least. I have a feeling we best get our friend out of here before more people show up.

As promised, Peter cuts down another patron with his massive greatsword. Giovanni is a bit slow to react.
Lasaraleen takes this opportunity to recover.

Round 4
Peter (2 nonlethal)
Alosius (2 nonlethal)
Korin (2 damage, 3 nonlethal)
Lasaraleen
Giovanni (3 damage)
Haliphod
Bar Patrons (Blue 2)

Giovanni, Peter moves before you do, so your target is gone.

Haliphod casts prestidigitation, and makes the silverware on the tables begin to dance.

In that case, I would have moved forward to take a swing at Blue instead.

Giovanni advances on the remaining foe, but fails to connect.
Haliphod sees the battle is well in hand and leaves it to the two sorcerers to finish things up.

Round 4
Peter (2 nonlethal)
Alosius (2 nonlethal)
Korin (2 damage, 3 nonlethal)
Lasaraleen
Giovanni (3 damage)
Haliphod
Bar Patrons (Blue 2)

"Ah! But even a hippo knows not to let himself get surrounded! Thusly!"

Aloisius sidesteps the man and draws a morningstar. Seems a waste to use TOO much magicks on this silly man.

Morningstar!: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 1 + 2 = 23
Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
Yes! 1 point of nonlethal damage!

Confirm: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9
Crit damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Taking the nomeish lead Korin wills his claws away and takes his morning star to attack from the flank

attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

or...not...on phone I'd someone could move me thanks

Wis Check: 1d20 ⇒ 7
Nope, this guy's dumb enough to keep fighting.
Unarmed vs Alosius: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
And he's too dumb to stop swinging.

Round 5
Peter (2 nonlethal)
Alosius (2 nonlethal)
Korin (2 damage, 3 nonlethal)
Lasaraleen
Giovanni (3 damage)
Haliphod
Bar Patrons (Blue 3)

Party is up. Can they save this man before Peter cuts another patron in half?

Korin takes another swing at the last man

attack: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 2 = 17
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

why even when giving up might save your life do people keep fighting knowing it will only lead to death... korin thought to him self as he swung the weapon hopefully for the last time today

Seeing that Korin will finish the last guy, Peter moves close to Hjort.

"Don't try any trick, or I'll cut your head off", he tells him.

Readied action - Attack Hjort if he tries to leave.

Readied Action - Atk Grt Swd + PA + FE: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 162d6 + 9 ⇒ (2, 6) + 9 = 17

Korin saves Blue from a greatsword by bashing him silly.

Combat Over

The remaining bar patrons either fled the bar, or took their fights outside.

Peter moves up to threaten Hjort, but with the fear this man exudes, Peter could have held a feather to his back and it still would have frightened him.

"No, no. I ain't movin! Ain't moving nowhere! No tricks, either. Oh gods, never should have taken this job, but I needed the money!"

Upon closer inspection you notice the scar on his cheek is nothing more than a stain- this isn't Hjort, but a lookalike.

"Hjort paid me to sit every night for the last two months. Don't know why, but I always saw those two in the bar." He squeaks as he points to the two axe wielding thugs. "They never spoke to me, unless they were calling me 'friend'."

The two axe wielding thugs carry two more potions of cure light wounds, as well as a total of 6 throwing axes.

"Son of a b..." exclaims Peter before hit the "false" Hjort with a punch.

Unarmed Strike (nonlethal damage) - AoO if he want: 1d20 + 2 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 4 + 2 = 181d3 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7

"Let's see if those two bastards are still alive...", he refers to the axe wielding thugs.

Heal: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Haliphod grabs the potions. "These may be handy for you guys later."

Korin rubs his head head "give me one it would be good for me now...but i guess i might be able to sleep the hits i took off"

If he gives me one

Cure Potion: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Lasaraleen will channel to cure all in the place if we are ready to leave.

" There may be more thugs after you. We best move on before they get here to finish the job or ask questions we do not want to answer."

Peter knocks out the lookalike in frustration. Then he goes to check on the axe wielding thugs and applies emergency aid to keep them alive, but unconscious.

Lasaraleen's heals everyone's injuries.

I'm not sure how many channels you want to use. But the dice bot apparently doesn't like me...
Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 4

"Y-y-yeah, let's get out of here!" The lookalike chirps. Scared out of his wits (and very weary of Peter) it's quite easy to get information from him.

"Hjort said he and Luna were gonna dress up as these Pathfinder guys, then trash the Trollheim Armory. I thought he was joking, but maybe he was..." The actor gulps. "Oh man, if he is telling the truth, and they destroy the armory, Castellan Darkwine would look like a wimp, and his lieutenant would blame these Pathfinders for it."

Assuming you guys are interested in the Armory

"Yeah, you can't miss it." He gives direction to the armory. "Can I go now? Please don't kill me."

Giovanni nods to the others.

"Sounds like we need to head to the armory..."

Lasaraleen would stop at 2 channels. Just wanting to stabilize the dying before she departs.

"Armory sounds good. We need to find out more of this man's story."

Based on two channels, it looks like Korin is full and doesn't need the CLW potion. Is anyone else injured? 2 free CLW...

Aloisius is good after the two channels as well.

"Yes! This chicanery will not stand! I mean, there's jokes and then there's imposing! We will stop them and teach them a better way to jape!"

"aahhaaa, and to think I almost had you beat have to death, ahaa...well no hard feelings then." korin kicks one of the men with the axes "well are ether of them still alive, or will we have to find our answers elsewhere. .."

The actor gives a nervous chuckle as Korin grants him mercy.
The two thugs were just hired by Hjort as well. They were hired to ambush and kill anyone who interrogated the actor. They don't know much besides the fact they were well paid. You all deal with them (execute them or turn them into the authorities.)

---

You reach the armory following the actor's instructions. Behind the group of guards, the front door to the armory is made of a heavy, thick wood and is bound by iron. At several points across the door, visible cracks and splintered wood can be seen. The battered door stands slightly ajar, opening inward to darkness.

Four armed guards are investigating the open door when they see you approach. They turn and draw their swords immediately. "Halt! Surrender under Castellian Darkwine's command! What did you do to this armory?"

Combat is optional here. You can talk your way out of this.

intim: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Fire swirls around Korin as he is angered by the accusation
"what did you just say to us we just walked up to you and you dare to threaten us"

"We did nothing to this armory, we arrived here right now. And good evening for you too", with his longbow in hands, Peter continues, "we were informed that a group of disguised bandits will assault the armory. Now, get out of our way and let the experts do their job, ok?"

While approaches stealthy to the slightly ajar door, the ranger asks to the gnomes of the group: "do you have any magical light to illuminate inside for us?"

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

"Tut tut! my friends! These men are but doing their jobs!"

Aloisius moves forward and, removing his hat and crown with a flourished bow, hails them. "My dear friends, there has been a misunderstanding! We are not they what did... well, whatever it is what was done to the armoury. We are after them to try to prevent our names being sullied! It is a mission of personal pride and mutual respect that we come to this place. I am sure such law-abiding men, servants of the peace, can understand that!" He flashes a big gnomey smile as he returns his hat to his head and the crown atop of that.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Folio/Shirt Reroll+4 GM star bonus: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 4 = 24 Much better!

The guards are insulted by Korin's attempts to scare them, and they have no idea where Peter is. At first they wonder who this ostentatious Gnome is, but a second opinion changes their mind and they calm down.

"I'm sorry sir. We just heard there was a disturbance at the armory." The guards calm down a bit. "We just got here and noticed the door was forced open. We'll stand guard outside and not interfere with your investigation, then." The soldiers step aside and let you enter the armory.

The armory is pitch dark (so you'll need a light source or darkvision) on the first floor. There are no windows on the first floor. Everything is oddly quiet.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Waiting for the gnomes' light! =P

Korin steps Into the room with a motion of his hand he causes for small orbs of fire to materialize shedding light

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

well I seem to be mesmerized by my own power...

Upon noticing that the armory is in darkness, Giovanni casts Light.

That said, more than one person should do so, if possible.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23.

Huh.

"Be on your guard! There is something trying to hide in there," he says, gesturing in the direction of the western hallway on the first floor.

"Be on your guard! There is something trying to hide in there," he says, gesturing in the direction of the western hallway on the first floor.

"Ok, let's check this."

Peter uses the shadows created by the lights have been cast, and tries to hide himself, going sneaky to the upstairs.

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Giovanni conjures light as he enters the room. Peter sneaks around just in time to see three goblins and some kind of canine tucked in the corner of the room.

Knowledge(Nature) check DC 11 to identify the canine. For every 5 you beat this check, you can ask an additional question about it.

"They see us?"
"Ya they see us? Kill them then burn it down! Burn it all down! Hahahaha!"

The goblins hoot and holler before charging in.

The goblins are quick to react, although the party is on high alert (and not flat-footed) thanks to Giovanni's warning.

The goblins proceed to run in front of the group, sticking out their tongues and taunting the party. Red and Blue are particularly gutsy, trying to roll into position.

Red's Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Blue's Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Red manages to tumble and laughs at Blue, whose head donks into the floor before he stumbles clumsily into position.

Blue provokes from Giovanni and Peter for moving through their threatened space, so you can take an AoO.

The goblins poke away with their tiny short swords, singing about how they will "kill da Pathfinders!"

Blue vs Peter: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Red vs Peter: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Green vs Giovanni: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Canine vs Giovanni: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Luckily they seem more obsessed with dancing than actually fighting.

Round 1
Goblins
Lasaraleen
Haliphod
Giovanni
Peter
Alosius
Korin

Party is up.

"Wow. He must be desperate if he is relying on goblins..."

AoO: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20, for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 damage.

Giovanni takes a swing at one of the goblins as it dodges past...

Morningstar: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15, for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 damage.

...then follows that up with another swipe.

Giovanni clobbers one of the Goblins as it stumbles past him, but is unable to finish it off. Maybe Peter can follow up on it.

Round 1
Goblins (Blue 5)
Lasaraleen
Haliphod
Giovanni
Peter
Alosius
Korin

Peter has an AoO available.

Haliphod jumps back, and then starts casting a summoning spell.

Lasaraleen will try to tag one of the goblins with a bolt of fire.

How many are there? I cannot see over you all in the front.

firebolt touch : 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16 for fire: 1d6 ⇒ 5

She does not have precise, so this may be at -4 or -8 depending on cover

...sinf...fine no one notice the spell of dancing lights a did ;_;

korin forms a orb of acid in his hand and send it to the goblin but it goes a bit wide...

attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Lasaraleen tries not to shoot her friend in the back with a firebolt and winds up scorching the wall. All of the goblins stare at the flame as it shoots out. Blue screeches "Do it again! Again!"

Korin's acid glob is less impressive. "No, do more fire! Then we add fire and burn it all down!" Blue does a quick jig.

Round 1
Goblins (Blue 5)
Lasaraleen
Haliphod (Casting a 1 round spell)
Giovanni
Peter
Alosius
Korin

Peter has an AoO available against Blue.
Peter and Alosius to end round 1.

AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 102d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 4) + 6 = 11

Peter misses the blue goblin in his first opportunity.

"Not so fast, buddies", he says to the same goblin, trying to hit him and his adjacent red friend.

Cleave. AC 13.

Atk + PA (blue): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 82d6 + 9 ⇒ (5, 3) + 9 = 17
If the first atk hits...
Atk + PA (red): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 202d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 6) + 9 = 18

Aloisius turns to the guards as they walk in, asking "So what made you think we done this dastardly GAH! GOBLINS!!!"

"No more fire for you! You're cut off!"

He flicks his wand at the goblin with the blue headband and fires a bolt of energy at it.

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Peter, still surprised there are goblins, is unable to take advantage of blue's clumsiness. Naturally it sticks its tongue out and taunts him in response. It laughs as Peter's wide swing misses, and laughs harder the same swing decapitates Red.

Alosius finally shuts up the goblin with a pair of magic missiles.

"Yaaay! More fire for me!" The green goblin throws pumpkin bombs lashes out at Peter as "thanks".

Short Sword vs Peter: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

The dog continues to try to bite Giovanni.
Bite vs Gio: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
But it can't quite get past Giovanni's armor.

Round 2

Korin

Haliphod's spell completes and he summons...something...somewhere.
Party is up.

Giovanni swings at the remaining goblin!

Morningstar: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19, for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 damage.
