Chaosorbit's PFS #7-10: The Consortium Compact (Inactive)

Game Master Chaosorbit

Well, these guys should be the Aspis agents. Delroya says they might have serpent pins and look like dock workers or toughs. We don't want to take down the wrong guys.

I'll stay up in my perch. I'm assuming Throck is trying to lead the guys to the area where he is currently standing. Are you going to run back into the warehouse to the northeast, leading the guys in front of Frosty, Dimble and Slaine? With Face and Kados flanking or surprise from behind.

For some reason, didn't see the last few posts.

If it looks like I can stay hidden on top of the crates under the cloak or blanket I'll try and toss an iron spike back into the warehouse towards the spot marked with a D. Hoping it will clank nicely along the floor, encouraging the toughs to rush into the warehouse. If it's dark they may not notice Throck standing in the middle of the room.

throw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Not really sure how to roll this.

Kados get prepared to attack.

Before he attacks with his delayed action he will make sure they are Aspis. perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

If they are attack.
punch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 221d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 Maybe sneak attack sneak: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Kados and Dimble confirm that these look like Aspis, that look like toughs for sure and one sports a bronze Aspis badge.

Kados proves into position ready to attack. Dimble tosses the key behind him, which makes a loud clang...

The Aspis with the badge (green) shouts There's more further back, besides the dwarf, deal with him first then we'll get he noisy one back there.

Frost Seeker and Faceshifter both ready actions as well.

The first of the Aspis men (red) rushes up the stairs he must have caught a glimpse of Kados for as he reaches he attempts to leap away from the corner.

Acrobatics v CMD18: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (5) - 4 = 1

But he gets his feet tangled and instead steps into Kados's punch with lands.

The other man (green) steps over by the loading platform and begins gesturing, Confuncto!

He casts a spell on Throck.

DC 13 Will Save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14

Blinking, with a blank stare on his face, the man thinks the spell has worked on Throck...but it hasn't!

Round 1:
Kados
Dimble
Frost Seeker
Faceshifter
Aspis Red 6 dmg
Aspis Green
Slaine
Aspis Blue
Throck
Aspis Yellow

Slaine is up.

Seeing the spell caster at work, Slaine realizes that he needs to be targeted. However, he wants to wait until Blue and Yellow have moved up to Throck. He draws a bead on Green and will delay his action until both Aspis are up to Throck or until the end of this round.
Using my Steady Aim, my range is 50'

Musket (vs touch AC): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Damage: 1d12 ⇒ 3

Slaine readies his shot as the next Aspis man (blue) rushes forward, he pushes past his comrade and move over to Throck.

Throck is up.

Throck lashes out with his flail, hoping to entangle the foolish main in the heavy chains and bring him down to throck's level.
light flail: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 v. CMD
The guy gets an aoo on throck.

I assume this is a trip?

Throck goes for a trip against the Aspis man, opening himself up to attack. The man swings his longsword at Throck as the flail heads for his leg.

Longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

The man's big swing barely misses, as he goes down in a heap from the flail chain and a jerk from Throck.

The last of the Aspis man (yellow) moves onto the stairs, when he stops, waves of healing energy flow from his hands, the energy seems to miss Kados and Throck.

Channel Positive: 1d6 ⇒ 5

End of the round Blamo! Slain fires his shot at the spellcaster. It hits the man in the shoulder, he cries out in pain.

Round 2: Map

Kados
Dimble
Frost Seeker
Faceshifter
Aspis Red 1 dmg
Aspis Green 3 dmg
Slaine
Aspis Blue prone
Throck
Aspis Yellow

Kados, Dimble, Frosty, and Faceshifter up

Faceshifter comes out from his boxes and stabs the man upon the ground adding sneak attack dice in because he's prone
attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 233d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 2) = 12

Kados goes for the flurry Flurry: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 21d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Seeing the one Aspis agent fall down, Frost Seeker abandons the idea of using a hydro push. Instead, he does what is cold and tortured heart does to a threatening stranger, and give this man a little Frosty bite.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Elemental Ray: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Oh well, I guess not. Sigh

Dimble moves straight forward and attacks the spell caster with his sling.

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 71d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Kados flurry misses, as Dimble jumps down from his hiding spot and fires an errant sling stone at the caster. Likewise Frost Seeker's elemental ray misses short of the target.

Faceshifter's rapier finds the mark piercing the prone man.

@Face - Think your damage is only 2d6 (rapier 1d6 + 1d6 sneak)

Kados's foe (red) takes a big swing at the the tiefling.

Longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

The Aspis man's sword drives into Kados, the critical blow staggers him, he's close to dropping.

Meanwhile, the spellcaster (green) continues to focus on the thick dwarf. Frighten!

Throck DC14 Will Save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17

Once again Throck is completely unaware a spell was cast on him, focusing on the downed man instead. The Aspis caster then darts for cover.

Rolling the crit down here so it doesn't change Throck's save.
Possible crit on Kados: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 Confirmed
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Round 2: Map

Kados 14 dmg - disabled (at 0 hp)
Dimble
Frost Seeker
Faceshifter
Aspis Red 1 dmg
Aspis Green 3 dmg
Slaine
Aspis Blue 10 dmg - prone
Throck
Aspis Yellow

Slaine is up

my bad in my mind I'm already a level 3 rogue!

Seeing Kados go down, Slaine mutters and curses under his breath. Not gonna let some no-good lawbreaker take down a friend o mine. He tears out a paper alchemical cartridge and shoves it down the barrel of his musket (move action), aims and fires at the Red Aspis agent and lets loose another loud report as the ball of lead hurdles forth.

Musket: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 vs touch AC
Damage: 1d12 ⇒ 11

Slaine's shot rocks the Aspis fighter (red), partially turning him from the force of the shot...somehow the man still stands.

The other Aspis fighter (blue) prone and injuried, covers up as best as he can and attempts to stand up.

Total defense, stand up from prone.

As he rises, Faceshifter and Throck have a free attack on him.

Faceshifter and Throck AOOs and Throck's turn.

Faceshifter attempts to hit the man as he rises
attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 91d6 ⇒ 4

Throck also tries to smash the man with his flail:
Flail: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 101d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Then trips him again:
trip: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
the guy gets another zoo

unless he can't make an aoo while in total defense

The Aspis man's defense stands strong as he avoids 2 attacks and another trip attempt. right no AOO in total defense

The last Aspis man heals his comrades again, excluding Faceshifter and Kados.

Channel Postive: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Round 3: Map

Kados 14 dmg - disabled (at 0 hp)
Dimble
Frost Seeker
Faceshifter
Aspis Red 8 dmg
Aspis Green
Slaine
Aspis Blue 6 dmg
Throck
Aspis Yellow

Kados, Dimble, Frosty, and Faceshifter up

Is Yellow the healer? Cause if he is, he's drawing my next shot!

Yep Yellow is the healer

Faceshifter moves into a flank
attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 202d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2
seriously?! I remember why i hate PBP dice system!

Dimble rushes forward to defend Kados.

He attacks swinging wildly with both maces.

main hand mace: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 71d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

off hand mace: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 51d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Kados takes a a five foot step back and "falls" attempting to feign death.
Bluff: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (12) - 2 = 10

And tries to pull a cure lgt woulds potion stealthily
Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

I just realized that I didn't take my -4 penalty for shooting into melee on the last shot. I'm assuming that a 14 would have still hit Red's touch AC. (I hope!)

Frost Seeker sees that his initial target will soon be gone, so he looks for another target to chill. He spots the arcane spell caster that is making feeble attempts at frightening the wall of flesh and steel, and will attempt to show him what a successful spell looks like. He moves up into range, and sends an elemental ray flying

Elemental Ray: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 191d6 ⇒ 1

Ranged touch attack.

@Slaine -- yeah I had subtracted it you still hit!

Kados falls to the ground to play dead, attempting to secretly retrieve his potion.

Would that be Stealth or Slight of Hand? I'll be real nice and say Stealth, and allow you to Bluff as a free action, falling prone is also a free, 5 foot + retrieve is a move. So if you pass the checks it will work.

Aspis Sense Motive v. DC10 Bluff: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Aspis Perception v. DC29 Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13 autofail

The Aspis man doesn't notice Kados bluff thinking he dropped the tiefling, as he goes down Kados retrieves his healing potion undetected.

Dimble bounds forward swinging wildly with his maces, missing the target.

Frost Seeker joins the fray moving forward and launching a ray at the hiding caster, despite the cover it hits, but is only a glancing blow.

Faceshifter deftly moves into a flank, but the man's guard is up and he deflects the rapier.

With the onrushing brawler, the Aspis fighter (red) attention turns to Dimble the longsword swings at the dwarf.

Long Sword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Dimble feels the bite of the longsword.

Hit by the ray, the caster jumps up from behind his cover.

Arcane battle! You and I too the deathh! He glares at Frosty speaking with a strange foreign lisp.

Confucto!

Frost Seeker DC13 Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Suddenly, Frost Seeker's thoughts seem muddled..he stands in a daze, not completely unlike Throck's normal state.

He then tries to jump up and reach the ledge in the loading dock area.

Acrobatics DC 12: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

He gets the edge, with his finger tips.

Round 3: Map

Kados 14 dmg - disabled (at 0 hp)
Dimble 8 dmg
Frost Seeker dazed - may take no actions
Faceshifter
Aspis Red 8 dmg
Aspis Green 1 dmg
Slaine
Aspis Blue 6 dmg
Throck
Aspis Yellow

These Aspis are a handful!
Slaine is up

Slamming another alchemical cartridge down his musket barrel, Slaine spends one of the points from his grit pool to allow him to hit vs touch AC beyond his musket's 1st range increment. He takes aim at Yellow and fires a volley to attempt to take out the healer.

Musket: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 2 = 6 (vs touch AC, -2 due to range)
Damage: 1d12 ⇒ 1

I'm putting down all of the pluses/minuses for myself, to make sure I'm doing this right!

Muttering and cursing under his breath, Slaine berates himself for thinking that Abadar is not being fair this round. I mean, how can everyone roll this poorly!?!? He breathes a prayer:
Abadar, balance the scales and allow these lawbreakers to fail just as miserably as me an my friends have!

Right now only the GM is getting the good rolls..cue evil laughter.

Slaine shot hits the wall behind the healer.

The other Aspis fighter (blue) steps out of the flank away from the burrly dwarf and toward the masked man, he takes a swing at Faceshifter. 5 foot step and attack

Long Sword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The strange mask shifts just as he swings and distracts the attack.

Jinxed myself!
Throck is up

Abadar be praised. I knew he wouldn't let some low-down miscreants git away with upsettin' good order and civility. These hooligans will soon be gitten what's comin' to 'em. Time to lay down some serious justice, my friends!

Knowing what Throck will do, I'll go ahead and post for Justin.

Throck digs deep into his psyche and perceives that the man that he had previously been flailing has now stood up and moved away. Shambling over to Blue, he once again attempts to trip the man with his flail. Provokes AOO

Flail vs CMD: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Throck goes for the trip on Aspis Blue opening himself up to attack.

Long Sword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The sword slice the dwarf, but man goes to the ground from the trip and is prone.

The Aspis healer channels positive energy again, this time excluding Dimble and Throck.

channel positive: 1d6 ⇒ 5

The Aspis fighters and Kados are healed.

Round 4: Map

Kados 9 dmg
Dimble 8 dmg
Frost Seeker dazed - may take no actions
Faceshifter
Aspis Red 3 dmg
Aspis Green 1 dmg
Slaine
Aspis Blue 1 dmg - prone
Throck 8 dmg
Aspis Yellow

Kados, Dimble, and Faceshifter are up, Frosty is dazed this round.

Drink potion Cure Lgt: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

KILL THE HEALER!! Kados yells in a rage!

Faceshifter stabs at the man him and Kados are flanking
attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 152d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6
this is bullcrap, REROLL!
attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 202d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7
Finally a hit!
Faceshifter then glares at the healer and says in a deep and menacing tone
"Your next"

Ok, Dimble uses martial flexibility to get a power attack instead of a move action on red aspis.

main mace: 1d20 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 2 - 1 = 141d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9

off hand mace: 1d20 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 2 - 1 = 171d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7

please let me know if I did that wrong

Kados downs his healing potion. Dimble goes for a double power attack, but the fighter deflects both blows with his shield.

Faceshifter makes his own luck and finds a place under the man's breastplate for his rapier.

Red retaliates against Faceshifter.

Long Sword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

He leaves a big slice on the Faceshifter, who bleeds red like everybody else.

The caster attempts to hoist himself up on ledge.
Climb DC5: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (14) - 1 = 13

He pulls himself up takes a couple steps forward and stares at Frost Seeker.

Round 4: Map

Kados 1 dmg
Dimble 8 dmg
Frost Seeker
Faceshifter 10 dmg
Aspis Red 10 dmg
Aspis Green 1 dmg
Slaine
Aspis Blue 1 dmg - prone
Throck 8 dmg
Aspis Yellow

Slaine!

For the glory of the law and peace to the civilized!
Slaine slams down yet another alchemical cartridge and draws on his grit pool to extend the range of his faithful peacemaker. He lets loose his boom-stick at the pesky healer.

Musket: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 2 = 8 vs touch AC, -2 for range
Damage: 1d12 ⇒ 9

Slaine's aim is high once again and his shot misses.

The prone Aspis (blue) agent stands to his feet and attacks Throck, opening himself up for an attach from both Throck and Dimble.

Long Sword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

The sword misses!

Throck's AOO and regular attacks, plus an Dimble's AOO are up.

Throck once again glares at the foolish man and takes a swing at him while he is standing up:
AOO: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 111d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Then (surprise surprise) goes for blue's feet:
Trip: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Another AOO for blue

Pretty sure Throck didn't add in his flanking bonus (flanking with Dimble)

Throck swings and misses as the man stands, then swings back at his legs once more. The man attacks with his long sword.

AOO Long Sword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Narrowly missing once more. The man then goes down once more from the trip, frustration clearly building on his face.

With so many pathfinder injured the Aspis healer steps forward touching his fighting partner with healing magic.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Round 5: Map

Kados 1 dmg
Dimble 8 dmg
Frost Seeker
Faceshifter 10 dmg
Aspis Red 4 dmg
Aspis Green 1 dmg
Slaine
Aspis Blue 1 dmg - prone
Throck 8 dmg
Aspis Yellow

Dimble has an AOO on blue, plus Kados, Dimble, Frosty, and Faceshifter are up

This may become important, don't forget you all found 2 potion of Cure Moderate Wounds earlier. Don't think you assigned them to anyone. Would it be fair to roll for who has them. I assume it would have gone to melee fighters. 1=Kados, 2=Dimble, 3=Faceshifter, 4=Throck

who has um?: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

Faceshifter and Throck are carrying a potion each.

Aoo attack

main hand mace: 1d20 + 2 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 2 - 1 = 91d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6

Off hand mace: 1d20 + 2 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 - 1 = 111d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7

AOO is a single melee attack, can't flurry on an AOO. I'll take the first one.

Dimble misses his attack on blue.

Kados, Dimble, Frosty, and Faceshifter are up.

Power attack again this time against the prone blue guy who is flanked. Dimble needs all the help he can get to hit!!

main hand mace: 1d20 + 2 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 2 - 1 = 101d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

Off hand mace: 1d20 + 2 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 2 + 2 - 1 = 171d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

doing this from a tae kwon do tournament on my phone. Please check my math

Rerolling 1st attack with my reroll

to hit roll: 1d20 + 2 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 2 + 2 - 1 = 17

Faceshifter retaliates
attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 172d6 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10

Frost Seeker sees an opportunity for a chilling spell to use on the wizard that has challenged him to a duel. Ninque appa he says as he casts a spell and steps up to the man. 5 Foot step

Chill Touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 51d6 ⇒ 2
Plus 1 strength damage. If he makes it, then he will take half and no strength damage.

I used to like this character, but now I think he should go back to the arctic tribe he came from and fail at making a simple snowman out of these crappy rolls.

If Dimble was going after Blue, I think he's still prone, so Dimble gets +4 to hit? If that's the case, i'll leave it to Matt if he wants his reroll. With the rolls we are getting, we need all the help we can get!!

Kados swings at the brute with a flurry of blows.

flurry: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 171d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 21d6 ⇒ 1
flurry: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 201d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 41d6 ⇒ 6
