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

Game Master chadius

@GM chadius, as Peter missed his first atk, the second didn't occur. The second atk is made only if the first hits the target. So, I think that the red gobin is up!

It's a miracle! Red is alive! Thanks Peter.

Red stands up, dusts himself off and yells. "Me not dead! But he is!" Red points at what used to be Green, which is now a stain on the ground thanks to Giovanni.

Round 2
Goblins
Lasaraleen
Haliphod (Casting complete!)
Giovanni
Peter
Alosius
Korin

In that case, Giovanni would have targeted red, and then 5' stepped between the dog and the remaining goblin, so that Peter still has a chance to cleave :-)

Lasaraleen will trust that her comrades will drop the goblin without her needing to move closer. She guards the entry door to prevent attacks from behind.

Somebody needs to silence that foul creature."

Korin sends another acid ball at the goblins attack touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

;_;

Somebody needs to silence that foul creature.

"As you wish, lady redhead!"

Peter moves close to the goblin and the dog, and prepares to hit them. Or not.

5-foot step. Cleave. AC = 13

First Atk: red goblin: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 62d6 + 9 ⇒ (6, 6) + 9 = 21

If the first atk hit...

Second Atk: dog: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 122d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 5) + 9 = 17

dude these are some agile goblins...

The goblins just finished watching the first Matrix film.

Red laughs as he dodges flames and blades from Korin and Peter. "Me good at dodging! Why green no dodge like me? Now he squished!"

Round 2
Goblins
Lasaraleen
Haliphod (Casting complete!)
Giovanni
Peter
Alosius
Korin

"Dodge this, then!" Aloisius banters as he uses his own spell for magic missile.

Magic Missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 2 = 8

Haliphod summoned an eagle, appearing behind the red goblin and attacking it.

Claw: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 = 14 Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Claw: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9
Beak: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 = 13 Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

+2 was for flanking, but not confident that any of these hit...

Haliphod, meanwhile, turns his attention to the dog, casting an arc of lightning at it.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Haliphod blasts the goblin dog with lightning, singeing it.

Meanwhile, an eagle appears out of thin air, and the goblin continues to dodge everything thrown at it.

"Dodge this, then!"

Red laughs. "Haha! Me...am... invincibl-" His moment of triumph is cut short as two orbs shoot forth from Aloisius's fingertips and strike the goblin dead.

The goblin dog bites at Peter.
Bite vs Peter: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
But is unable to penetrate his armor.

Round 3
Goblin Dog (1 damage)
Lasaraleen
Haliphod
Giovanni
Peter
Alosius
Korin

Frustrated korin moves up and tries to smash the last goblin
attack: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 2 = 17
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Giovanni steps to a flank, and takes a swing at the goblin dog!

Morningstar: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 2 = 22, for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 damage.

Haliphod loads his sling and fires at the dog.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Giovanni quickly smashes the Goblin Dog, leaving another mess in the armory.

Combat Over

As you catch your breath, you hear some footsteps on the second floor scramble. Then you hear four loud thuds from outside.

"Ah, Hells!"

Giovanni quickly heads back outside.

'sigh" Korin follows behind Gio

Paizo doesn't provide a map for this, so I made my own. Enjoy! The gray things are big rocks.

A small, frozen yard stands between rickety fences to the east of the armory. Target dummies, both for melee and archery training, stand at the far eastern end of the icy field.

"This is it, Pathfinders!" An Ulfen warrior spits out the group's name. "Hjort Fastaxe stands before you! You burned my village to the ground and left me for dead. Runa was betrayed too, and she helped me discredit you. Now, come here so I can finish you off with my bare hands!"

The dark-haired Chelish woman simply shakes her head, slightly embarrassed. "Kill them all. Saving the leader is preferred, but optional."

Round 1
Alosius
Peter
Giovanni
Hjort, Runa, Lazar, Gyuri
Lasaraleen
Haliphod
Korin

Alosius, Peter and Giovanni are up.

"May the blessings of the Song of the Spheres be upon us."

Giovanni casts Bless, and then moves forward.

Peter moves and tries to hit Hjort with an arrow from his longbow.

Rgd Atk - Longbow + bless: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 = 171d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

I forget the +2 from favored enemy. So, it was a 19 to hit and 14 of damage. What a nice shot! :P

"Leader? Yeah, that's me! At least that's the talk, apparently. ANYWAY! What's a leader without minions? No, not these guys. These are my partners, my team, my clan, my family. My minions will be here soon!"

Aloisius steps forward and starts weaving his fingers through the air.
Start casting summon monster I

As Hjort rants, Peter gauges his overall strength and notices he doesn’t guard his left shoulder well. So he sticks an arrow there. He screams in pain and almost collapses. ”You’ll pay! You’ll ALL PAY!” He flies into a rage and charges forward at the archer.

Handaxe, RAGE, Charge vs Peter: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8
He digs deeply into Peter's abdomen.

Giovanni blesses the party as Alosius begins casting.

The half-elven monk moves forward and draws a potion as the wizard stays back and reads from a scroll. A translucent field of energy forms around the man.

Luna moves forward, but raises her symbol of Asmodeus and curses, cancelling the blessings Giovanni places on some of the party members.

Round 1
Alosius (Casting 1 round spell)
Peter (8 damage)
Giovanni
Hjort (RAGE, charge, 14 damage), Runa, Lazar, Gyuri
Lasaraleen (Blessed)

Lasaraleen, Haliphod, and Korin are up next.

Spellcraft for the wizard: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Spellcraft for Luna: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Korin moves forward as a ball of acid forms in his hand he throws it a runa

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

man I have been rolling low lately...

Peter tries to identify the spells as Korin's ball of acid hits a rock nearby Runa.

Peter (8 damage)
Giovanni
Hjort (RAGE, charge, 14 damage), Runa, Lazar, Gyuri
Lasaraleen (Blessed)
Haliphod (Blessed)
Korin (Blessed)

Lasaraleen and Haliphod.

"Hey, I have minions too. Perhaps I am the leader?"

Haliphod chuckles as he starts casting summon monster I.

Lasaraleen moves up and heals Peter with a touch.

Stand strong, the fire of Sarenrae is with us this day.

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Spellcraft DC 12: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Spellcraft DC 13: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

"Well, there goes the bless. They just baned us!"

Haliphod gets a little jealous and begins summoning.
Meanwhile Lasaraleen heals Peter's wounds from the raging Hjort.

Round 2
Alosius (Casting Complete!)
Peter
Giovanni
Hjort (RAGE, charge, 14 damage), Runa, Lazar, Gyuri
Lasaraleen (Blessed)
Haliphod (Blessed, Casting 1 round spell)
Korin (Blessed)

Alosius, your casting is complete.
Alosius, Peter and Giovanni can go.

Giovanni moves forward, and takes a swing at Gyuri.

Morningstar: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23, for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 damage.

Peter send a kiss to Lasaraleen as a thank for the heal.

The ranger drops his longbow on the ground, draws his greatsword and says to her: "this is for you, lady redhead!", and make a heavy hit at Hjort.

Atk Grt Swd + PA + FE: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 2 = 242d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6, 5) + 9 + 2 = 22

Aloisius finishes his summoning of an eagle right behind the Gyuri woman and lets it go to town on her!

Claw: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15 for 1d4 ⇒ 3
Claw: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11 for 1d4 ⇒ 2
Bite: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 2 = 16 for 1d4 ⇒ 1

Aloisius himself, running out of magical might, uses his last spell by running in and pulling off a color spray against Hjort and Runa!

Alosius completes his casting. A hawk materializes and proceeds to claw and bite the monk. The gnome uses this distraction to overload the Hjort and Runa's senses.

Hort's Will Save: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7
Runa's Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Runa is unfazed by it, but Hjort's eyes go wide as he's overwhelmed. He collapses.
Giovanni clocks Gyuri cold with a single blow from his morningstar.

Peter thinks about hitting Hjort, but the man quickly collapses right in front of him.

Round 2
Alosius
Peter
Giovanni
Hjort (THE COLORS, MAN!), Runa, Lazar
Lasaraleen (Blessed)
Haliphod (Blessed, Casting 1 round spell)
Korin (Blessed)

Peter, your target is invalid because he failed his save. What do you want to do?

Aloisius himself, running out of magical might, uses his last spell by running in and pulling off a color spray against Hjort and Runa!

Hjort? The meat ball, you mean?

Peter, your target is invalid because he failed his save. What do you want to do?

Oh Lord, my description was so cool... :(

Peter drops his longbow on the ground, draws his greatsword and moves forward trying to hit Runa White and Gyuri.

Cleave. AC = 13.

First Atk - Runa: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 2 = 192d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6, 6) + 9 + 2 = 23

Second Atk (Cleave) - Gyuri: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 2 = 182d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 9 + 2 = 15

If Gyuri isn't human, please disregard the +2 from favored enemy.

EDIT: I didn't saw that Gyuri was fallen. So, no cleave, AC still 15, consider only the first attack, please.

I forgot to remove Gyuri from the handout. Man, you guys are slicing right through these encounters...

Peter instead decides to slice into Runa. She's no match for Peter's might and crumples before she gets a chance to channel anything.

Lazar the wizard sees his companions crumple before six very angry foes. "Nope, not paid enough." He quickly turns tail and flees.

Anyone chasing him? If not this fight is over.

"Yeah, run away, f##*$@~{t!", Peter curses the coward wizard, while he comes back to take his longbow that was lying on the ground.

"Thank you for the heal, lady redhead", he winks to Lasaraleen.

"And what about you, bastard?", the ranger kicks the body of Horjt. "Let's bring this rubbish to the authorities, buddies?"

"Well, I hope we don't see him again soon." No chase here, but since Haliphod was already casting a summoning spell, we'll let an eagle chase the wizard until the spell is used up.

Lasaraleen will not chase but will ensure the fallen are stabilized and bound as need.

"So these are the source of all the troubles. I think we have put an end to their plans now ."

The eagle chases after the man, nipping and pecking him into submission!

Meanwhile Aloisius happily dances about and once again sits on the unconscious form of the leader.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Gyuri is quite loyal to the Shadow Lodge, and was here to bodyguard Hjort and Runa. She calls Lazar a coward for fleeing, and promises to slit his throat when she gets the chance.

Hjort is quite angry and seems resigned to his fate. "Well, Pathfinders? Kill me already! Kill me like you killed my bretheren in the Blood Ram tribe! Finish what you started! You got past everything me and Runa set up in Trollheim. I'll never forgive you for what you've done! Never!"

Runa is much more composed, and quite confident in her success. "Well met. I suppose you are looking for Rognvald Skagni- I assure you he is alive, and in Shadow Lodge custody in Irrisen. Sadly, I now realize Caggirar dispatched me here as a distraction. I'm certain by now Pathfinders are now fugitives in the realm. Have fun!"

Among Runa's possessions you find several well-written documents stating the Shadow Lodge plot to tarnish the Pathfinders reputation in the Land of the Linnorm Kings. It hinged on destroying coastal villages, and then blaming the Pathfinder Society to rally support against them.

The chest of documents will have to wait until it finds its owner...
End of Part 1
Feel free to RP and stuff while I set up Part 2.

"It seems we must be off to Irrisen. Cold there, right? Let's go back an report, but meanwhile I will hit the library to see what I can find, and also I suggest we all gear up for colder weather."

Giovanni grins.

"Well, a good journey is always enjoyable; I've never been to Irrisen, see it should be interesting!"

Lasaraleen shudders at the thought of colder weather.

"We must follow these leads to there conclusion. I will have to find some warmer clothes and maybe a hat with matching boots. We cannot let them get away with tarnishing our good name. ."

Based on Runa White's notes, you set your destination for the icy walled city of Whitethrone. Many of Trollheim's residents warn of the strange folk there, and even fewer of them are willing to travel. They warn you of the bitter cold and the unfriendly climate there.

You are able to join a group of merchants and hunters who are on a diplomatic mission to Irrisen. They suggest you buy some winter equipment from Trollheim, and then disguise yourselves as traders and merchants.

If you haven't, please PM or post your email address in the discussion thread.

Diplo: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Know local: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17 untrained, can only achieve DC 10

"A diplomatic mission? All aboard the consular ship! But... where is the ambassador?"

Aloisius also shares that Whitethrone is "an interesting place where goblins and giants and trolls and gnomes and buffalo all exist in peace, all with good rights and representation. It's a big city, too! Lots and lots of people!"

Cold weather, shmold weather. Got that wand of endure elements previously, so good there.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

"Fun place. They don't like strangers. Think people like us are mass murderers. We'll need to watch ourselves, and probably not let on who we are!"

Sounds like everyone is ready to go.

With your purchases complete, you join the merchant caravan and leave the relative warmth of Trollheim to the bitter colds of Whitethrone.

The trip to Whitethrone is long, bitter and cold. The merchants warn the party that news from Irrisen is that Pathfinders are not allowed, and they should keep their disguises on for as long as possible.

The party continues to check on their cargo, the hundred-pound heavy oak chest. It's full of documents meant for the eyes of Rognvald Skagni and his alone.

The trip seems to go well, as you approach Whitethrone you see the city's ice white walls over a couple of hills. Some soldiers of the Irrisen's Iron Guard, accompanied by rowdy ice trolls, approach the caravan for a surprise inspection. As it turns out, they just want a lot of money. And when the merchants fail to react appropriately, the soldiers and the ice trolls attack!

Chaos erupts as the caravan scatters across the wilderness. Realizing the soldiers to be too strong to fight on your own, you carefully flee from them, carrying the oak chest into the wilderness. The screams of the caravan men and Iron Guard fade into the distance.

A biting wind blows from the north and snow blows in blinding drifts amid numbing fog. The bone-white walls of Whitethrone, capital of Irrisen and home of Baba Yaga’s white witch daughters, rises into the frigid northern night. Somewhere within is the Shadow Lodge headquarters hinted at in Trollheim where the poor historian Rognvald Skagni is being held. Reaching this point was a difficult challenge, but gaining entry into the city itself presents the greatest obstacle yet.

I'll need a DC 15 Fort Save from you all due to the Cold Weather. Add +5 to your saves if you are wearing Cold Weather gear. Also, if you have Endure Elements active you may skip this check.
A DC 15 survival check will grant you a +2 bonus to this check.
If you fail this check, take 1d6 non lethal damage.

Also, you should have access to view and edit the new slides. Enjoy!
