Core or Bust!

Game Master dien

Kul-Amon raises his hands to the ceiling. "And so did the giver and taker, the wound and the balm gave his faithful servant another shield. Glory be!"

"Er... yeah.... what you said!" Shaya says to Kul. "Anyone know what they're saying? You speak their language, right Kara?"

Taking a moment to listen, Kara pieces out that the goblins plan to attack whomever walk through the archway (there is no door). There is also talk of using more "boom 'n fire" jars.

Shaya, you've been healed to full. Nethys protects! (Hopefully)

"Great, more goblins." Jikan sounds slightly annoyed in his voice.

"I could make someone grow to giant size before they jump us, but in these tight... goblin sized corridors, I doubt it will help."

Is there anything we can use for cover? Make our approach a bit more guarded?

"Tower shields make for great cover. Kul-Amon would go and purchase one if he could."

Just waiting to hear of a definitive plan. No other cover easily available.

"I have a Scroll of Obscuring Mist that we could use to veil our approach some. It will be blatantly obvious but at least they can't see us? Although there's talk of fire so many not the best idea either."

Other than that, I got nothin'.

Well, they know we're coming anyway, might as well protect ourselves. So Jikan, you call the mists, Shaya and Klo go through the breach with the rest of us just behind. Good?

"Yeah, I got no bright ideas other than bear out of the mist like a bull," Shaya chuckles. "And hide behind Skinny's big shield some."

Sorry, I've been having a busy time! But I have no bright ideas here either, so, obscuring mist works for me

Jikan gets a little closer to the door before using his Scroll of Obscuring Mist.

Hopefully others will position closer to the door as well as this happens (In fact, Jikan will wait for it). And hopefully I'm at the right door.

Yargul nods and prepares to move forward and set his shield for the remainder of the party after the initial rush.

Kul-Amon moves up, his weapon drawn.

As soon as the mist billows through the hall and doorway, a series of brilliant orange explosions bloom into the cloud. A few seconds later, another round of explosions. Shortly after giggles and maniacal laughter, more chemically induced eruptions fill the area. The Pathfinders feel the heat, but little else from the panicked and eventually undisciplined assault. In the silent lull, Kara picks out two or three voices in goblin arguing over fact that they don't have anymore to play with. A louder and more authoritative voice tell them he does not time to make any more for them and to be ready.

Assuming you eventually walk in:
The ceiling of this room has partially collapsed, creating a two-story space to the west while exposing the chamber above to the east. Rubble lies haphazardly about the place, with some other larger pieces serving as tabletops for crude alchemical apparatuses. Soot, scorch marks, and other chemical residues cover many of the chamber's walls and other surfaces. A sizable slab of jagged debris leans against the broken edge of the upper level's floor in the room's center. The upper level seems clear of wreckage and contains several wooden worktables. Opposite the entrance, a set of stone steps that once rose to the upper level are broken away halfway up their length. The whole chamber smells of burnt oil and acrid chemicals.

Standard Action
Certainly not wanting to be the first on in the room, Jikan says a short verse and touches Klo with a Touch of Destiny. "May fate guide you."

Klo: touch of destiny (touch to give +1 sorcerer level on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws for 1 round)

I have been waiting for Kara as the goblins are next up. If nothing tomorrow, we can put her on delay (or bot her).

Sorry, I'll delay.

The Pathfinders hear what they believe to be wooden furniture being dragged and glass shattering from inside the room. Kara distinctly catches notes a goblin voice yelling to be careful with his lab-bomby-making-thingys.

Kul-Amon begins chanting in a pidgin of Orcish and Taldane, before finishing with a clear invocation in the latter: "Nethys, Wheel and Woe, give us your blessing!"

Casting Bless

He then steps forward, eagerly awaiting his companions to join the fray.

Shaya strides forward to a nearer position, squinting into the fog-filled room I think it's still foggy? Due to our obscuring mist? If so, she'll draw her club as part of her move, then use her standard action to stow her glaive.

"Yargul, you got the big shield. Want to run in there blind?" she grins.

I envisioned the Obscuring Mist was placed in such a way as to cover the entrance, but not obscure the room itself. I will let you guys place the spell where ever you would like.

Jikan had to place it where he was, so he probably would have gone right up to the entrance and cast it. I placed it appropriately for that. I didn't place it before because I wasn't sure what entrance before so I didn't place it. :)

Move Action.
While the party decides how to approach, Jikan takes out his Wand of Magic Missile

Standard Action
"Pst, maybe I can encourage them to enter the mist..."
He decides it might be fun to fool the goblins a bit. He casts Ghost Sound while in the mist to mimic goblins screaming from beyond the mist in the hallway.
Using the SLA so there's no spellcasting component. DC is Will 14.

Klo: touch of destiny (touch to give +1 sorcerer level on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws for 1 round)

@Jikan You can try a bluff or acting check, but otherwise, you think that they are going to wait. (They did just unload several Alchemit's Fires into the hall due to the Obscuring Mist).

Perform: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Incoherent goblin screams come from the corridor.

As the illusionary screams drag on, the team begins to hear some nervous rustling from within the chamber. It finally becomes too much for a couple of the goblins.

Three of the goblins come racing around the corner and smack right into Kul-Amon's brest-plate. Their eyes fill with terror...

Kul-Amon and Shaya have an AoO on RED. @ Jikan, you may choose to take an AoO vs either RED or GREEN (if you have a weapon out).

Pathfinders other than Jikan are still up.

No weapon out. Have a wand out instead. :)

Draw Spear, total defense

Kul-Amon's blade lashes out! "And thus were the heretics scythed like wheat before his glory."

Falchion vs Red: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 = 17
Fog Miss chance (High=Good): 1d100 ⇒ 25
Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2) + 4 = 7

Yargul slides between allies and foes into a position to flank across the doorway. As he spins back to face the way he came, a foot makes an arcing trail onto the goblin. drawing AOO from Red, Green

Vs. Green
Unarmed Attack, Flanking: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 2 = 21 for Damage:: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Kul-Amon's foe drops to the ground as his soul is sent to the goblin afterlife.

AoO-Dog Slicer: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 for Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Meanwhile, the green tuniced goblin is so panicked that his swing comes nowhere near the mark.

"Good work drawing strikes, Yargul! That's a neat little kick thing you got there!"

Shaya brings her club down in both hands on the green goblin's skull. "Hold still."

Vs Green: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 ... he held still!
Vs Green Confirm?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Extra damage if the 14 confirms: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

"...shoot, I think I hit him too hard."

Shaya's club shatters the small creature's skull as cerebral matter and blood spray out of the Glom's ears.

Sorry, who's up now? I know it's not me given I just goblin splatted, but I lost track of the initiative order!

Same :(

Klo, Jikan and Kara in any particular order.

Jikan, happy with himself from the shenanigans, takes a step back from the goblin in front of him.

Standard Action
He gives Shaya a light tap. "May fate guide you." (Touch of Destiny )

Shaya: touch of destiny (touch to give +1 on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws for 1 round)

Botting Klo & Kara

Klo steps up and pulls his weapon out. Meanwhile, Kara tries to stab the goblin with her spear, but misses.

Spear: 1d20 ⇒ 1

The frightened goblin turns and runs back into the room.
Kara AoO: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Shield at the ready, the big shoanti hustles into the room, trying to bowl over the goblin on the way.

Overrun vs CMD: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

f the attempt is successful, i put a second Klo token where he'd end up.

Kul-Amon steps forth, his blade held high. "And they looked to magics for their salvation, but there was none to be found, for the All-Seeing Eye had turned from them!"

Falchion vs Yellow: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5
Fog Miss chance (High=Good): 1d100 ⇒ 62
Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 = 11

Klo storms past his allies and closes in on the goblin. However, the frightened creature wants nothing to do with the huge druid, so he ducks out of the way so the warrior-fisherman can pass. Luck stays with the goblin as his involuntary flinch also helps him avoid certain death at the hands of the Nethyian cleric. As Klo comes to a stop, he hears a familiar sound. Once again the twang and his of an arrow fill his ears, but it is quickly followed by the sound of wood splintering off the wall next to him.

Blue: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
miss % (low misses): 1d100 ⇒ 60

Can Yargul swing at Yellow around the corner? If not, disregard and delay him.

Yargul whirls around his tower and flings his foot around like a scorpion, ending it's arc and driving forward in a line past Kul-Amon at the goblin in the hall.

Unarmed Strike, Cover?: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 - 2 = 5 for Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

With the mists protecting them, Shaya can hear but not see the goblins past the front line. She takes a short step, her club at the ready.

"Can't see any of 'em, I'll wallop one if it comes close."

Ready to smack any adjacent goblin.

Move Action
Jikan moves south to try to see more party members.

Standard Action
He gives Yargul a tap on the shoulder this time. "More fate..." Touch of Destiny.

Yargul: touch of destiny (touch to give +1 on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws for 1 round) (think this would apply to next round)

Woo! Thanks. :)

Sorry guys, I have had two separate posts get eaten. (FRUSTRATING)

Long and short of it, Kara bot missed, goblins missed, big explosion Kara, Yargul, Kul-Amon all took 3 points of fire damage, yellow goblin dead.

Not knowing what else to do, the big Shoanti throws a shortspear at the nearest goblin before taking a retreating step.

”Two goblins in here, yuh!”

shortspear throw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

The fisherman's violent throw brings a quick end to the blue armored goblin.

Yargul lifts his shield and moves into the room to engage of of the threats.

Double move, up to threaten blue.

Kul-Amon steps forth out of the mist. "Where there were many, there were few. For the wrath of the chosen was pitiless and bountiful."

Channel, excluding the remaining bad guys: 1d6 ⇒ 1
