Aloisius rushes forward pointing at the woman with the flaming axe. "She has a relic of your tribe! Reclaim it! Ummmm... Ser Peter! Translate!"

Double move

Both of Peter's arrows hit.

"Charge them, you idiots! I didn't come all this way to die!"

Am I controlling the snowmasks or just directing them?

Am I controlling the snowmasks or just directing them?

You are directing them. They'll take an action after the PCs so they don't interfere with your actions.

Korin moves on casting mage armor

Gotcha!

Haliphod delays.

The woman quaffs a potion, restoring 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (2, 6) + 3 = 11 hit points.

Her shadow lodge goons take aim at the front line, choosing between the Green and Blue warriors as well as Giovanni.
Targets: 4d3 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 1) = 9

Longbow vs Blue: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Longbow vs Gio: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Longbow vs Blue: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Longbow vs Green: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

The two front warriors take a hit as arrows thud into them. Giovanni's shield deflects a missile into the snowy plains.

Aloisius ceases his advance to begin summoning a creature for aid!

Calmly, Peter makes a short step ahead, draws another two arrows and shot them at the woman again... But he doesn't have the same success like the other two before.

longbow + rapid shot + FE #1: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 61d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13
longbow + rapid shot + FE #2: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 = 141d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7

arrow - 50% or less is destroyed #1: 1d100 ⇒ 27
arrow - 50% or less is destroyed #2: 1d100 ⇒ 8

5-foot step ahead.

Giovanni hustles forward, taking a swing at the woman.

MW Cold Iron Morningstar: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 = 10, for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 damage.

Korin moves closer...

Peter's arrows thud nearby the woman as Giovanni's morningstar clanks against her armor. She smiles as she hefts the axe.

Korin moves up and prepares to engage.

The Snowmask clansmen move to engage the Shadow Lodge goons.

Round 2
Peter
Alosius
Snowmask Clan (Blue 2, Green 4)
Giovanni
Lasaraleen
Korin
Haliphod
Shadow Lodge (Melkorka 4 damage)

Lasaraleen double times it up closer to the battle.

Hey! Wait for me!"

Aloisius ceases his advance to begin summoning a creature for aid!

Full round to cast summon creature I

Sorry - crazy week!

Haliphod double moves in the first round to catch up. Damn short legs!

Then he starts casting Summon Monster I (full round spell).

Lasaraleen and Korin curse the open plains as they run across.
The gnomes begin summoning creatures to aid the clansmen and Giovanni.

Melkorka smiles as she hefts the flaming axe above Giovanni. "It's magnificent! A worthy prize for the Shadow Lodge. Let's see how well it works!"

Melkorka vs Gio: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Slashing Damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Turns out she's no legendary Dragon Fighter King and the axe's blade melts some of the snow near Giovanni's feet. The Snowmask Clan cheers triumphantly.

Three of the Shadow Lodge clansmen drop their bows and draw longswords to engage the clansmen with.

Purple Lodge vs Red Snowmask: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Longsword: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Crit?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Crit Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Green Lodge vs Blue Snowmask: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Longsword: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Red Lodge vs Purple Snowmask: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Longsword: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

The Red Snowmask Clansman is cut deeply, but they press on! The Blue Clansman isn't as lucky and he drops.

Bluepants the Shadow Lodge agent keeps his bow ready and fires at Giovanni, the closest target.
Blue Lodge vs Giovanni, Point Blank Range: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
He shoots past Melkorka and nails Giovanni in the shoulder.

Peter
Alosius (Summon Complete!)
Snowmask Clan (Blue 2, Red 6)
Giovanni (6 Damage)
Lasaraleen
Korin
Haliphod (Summon Complete!)
Shadow Lodge (Melkorka 4 damage)

Giovanni calmly continues to attack the leader.

MW Cold Iron Morningstar: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17, for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 damage.

If she drops, he will then move to engage Blue.

Lasaraleen double times it again...huffing and puffing.

"Almost there, Giovanni. Keep up the good work!

Giovanni shows Melkorka it's the man and not the weapon that makes a fighter. With a single swing he knocks out the boss.

Seeing their leader fall, the four remaining members immediately raise their hands in surrender. "Oh! She'll warm you up with the fire from the flaming axe! I get it!"

Combat Over

With Melkorka's defeat, the Shadow Lodge's efforts in the north are in shambles and have suffered a serious blow.

The only question left is: What to do about Jerdek's Shard? The three conscious snowmask clan members carefully study your reaction.

Return it to its original resting place, but arrange a deal whereby Pathfinders may (respectfully) study it in situ, to better understand its historical and magical significance?

^^^ Wot 'e said.

Ditto :)

Strong work, team!

You return Jerdek's Shard to the Snowmask clan. They are quite grateful for what you have done. They no longer consider you outsiders, but instead consider you Snowmask Brothers and Snowmask Sisters.

As part of the ritual to induct you into the clan, you are dunked into ice cold water, blessed by the tribe elders. For a moment, your skin turns white and you are freezing. Then your skin returns to normal and it's not cold anymore. In fact, you feel fine. The Snowmask tribe shouts in celebration; Their new honorary villagers are truly home!

...you did remember to give Skagni that chest, right?

The End
