DLS PFS 4x21 - Way of the Kirin (Inactive)

Game Master Bardez

Fifth round of combat:

The saboteur engaging Riken sees the ranger go invisible, then hears an astounding crash. Knowing that he could not have gone far, he tosses a bomb in the general direction of where he last saw his opponent, drops to the floor and runs to investigate:
Attack S-6: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17 (hit)
Splash damage to the entire room of A1: 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 (fire damage)
Riken's Relfex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 (does not catch fire)
Actobatics, drop to floor: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
The bombardier moves (to W-5) to investigate the commotion, to see the ceiling collapsed and rubble on the floor. Stunned, he proclaims:
"私たちは、カタパルトを持っていない！"

The pinned saboteur is stunned and does not act this round.

The rest of the round proceeds:

Riken acts
Riken, dying, attempts to stabilize himself:
Stabilize: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 (DC 11; not stabilized)

Saboteur B acts:
The saboteur upstaris, seeing the display in front of him, remains stunned. This was a very Home Alone monent.

Rilendo acts

Gorgowzowa acts

Dae-Lhach acts

Fire spreads

Rilendo is feeling a little better and decides to follow saboteur B. With his bow ready and arrow nocked he procedes up the stairs. At the first sight of B he releases the arrow.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Gorgowzowa tries to jump to the desk and run across it then jump towards the ninja to attempt to strike him with his scorpion style palm thrust.

Acrobatics Jump On Desk: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 4 = 31

Acrobatics Jump Off Desk: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 4 = 27

Scorpion Style: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 DC16 save or base speed is 5 feet for 4 rounds.

Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Gorgowzowa ends in W6

Saboteur A's fortitude save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

As the bed falls through, and Dea-Lhach prepares to pounce on the unsuspecting sabateur, he hears the scream from below. Turning quickly, he opens and peers through the trap door:

perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

Smoke pours up and flames can be seen below. Well, that's where the smoke was coming from.

Not sure if I can see anything else, let me know otherwise and I'll post actions

Did Riken drop his great axe when he fell over?: 1d100 ⇒ 91 (higher is better; 30%, so 70-100?)

Riken's great axe fell adjacent to him (in T-6). It turned visible as it left his hand.

Peering down through the trapdoor, the only thing Dae-Lhach can discern is the axe belonging to the ranger. Hearing the fight move back into the great room, and wary of the closeness of the flames, Dae-Lhach dismisses the idea of dropping through the trap door. He does not want the fire blocking any way out.

He returns back through room A6, looking at the damage done by the large monk, and keeping an eye on the doorway. Seeing noone in immediate need of healing, he skirts the hole in the floor moves to M6 - I think that's where the side of the hole is and rounds upon the stunned sabateur still looking in the door.

A stream of flame jumps from Dae-Lhachs outstretched hand to strike the Sabateur:

FireBolt (ranged touch): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
damage FireBolt: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
damage sneak attk: 1d6 ⇒ 4 if he's still stunned

Riken fails to stabilize after being reduced to unconsciousness.

Rilendo heads upstairs, hoping to catch sight of his prey (moves to K-10, I think, to see him). He shoots, dealing a slight graze to his prey.

Gorgowzow, in a flashy display, moves (to W-6) and strikes the first saboteur he sees.

Dae-Lhach, seeing no combat, heads to assist with those whose locations he is aware of. He moves (to M-6) and attacks the stunned enemy. It hits, and does sneak damage.

End of round.

Sixth round of combat:

Shaking his daze, the investigating Saboteur (Saboteur A) sees Gorgowzowa, steps back (5' to W-4) and prepares another bomb mixture, throwing it:
Saboteur A's bomb splash attack vs. Gorgowzowa: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20 (hit)
Saboteur A's bomb splash damage vs. Gorgowzowa: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 6) + 2 = 9 (fire damage)
Gorgowzowa's Reflex save vs. catching on fire: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 (success; no catchy on firey)
Taken by surprise and hastily throwing the weapon, the grenadier is hits by his own reckless throw:
Saboteur A's splash damage: 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 (fire damage)
Saboteur A's Reflex save for half: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 (fail, lol)
Unbeknownst to the attacker the cracks in the rubble contain one of his allies, who is caught by the rubble
Saboteur B's splash damage: 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 (fire damage)
Saboteur B's Reflex save for half: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 (fail, lol)

Awakened by the quick burning sensation, the pinned saboteur (Saboteur C) attempts to free himself from the rubble. He's pinned, so the closest analog would be CMB, I think. The rubble's CMD is 18, perhaps?
Saboteur C's counter-grapple: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
He fails to free himself.

As fire spreads just feet away from him, Riken's body tries to stabilize its wounds:
Riken's Stabilize: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 (DC is 12 now; fail; take 1 damage)

The blinded saboteur upstairs recovers from the spectacular display and reacts to his conditions. He wipes the fluid from his face (move action).
Saboteur C's Fort save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13 (arbitrary DC 13; not nauseated from the piss in his face)

Having just been attacked with fire, he decides to fight fire with fire, attacking Dae-Lhach:
Saboteur C's bomb splash attack vs. Dae-Lhach: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18 (hit)
Saboteur C's bomb splash damage vs. Dae-Lhach: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 1) + 2 = 7 (fire damage)
Dae-Lhach's Reflex vs. catching on fire: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 (does not catch on fire)

The rest of the round proceeds:

Rilendo acts

Gorgowzowa acts

Dae-Lhach acts

Fire spreads

Sorry, Saboteur A has a dagger drawn.

Gorgowzowa steps towards his adversary and to the left [5'], axe kicking at his dagger hand,
Disarm: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 - 2 = 13
then swipes the back of his forearm at the back of his knees,
Trip: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 2 = 6
as he falls to the ground he draws on his inner ki and chops at his ankle...
Trip: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 2 = 5

fml

With Saboteur B in his sites Rilendo takes another shot at him with his bow.
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Man a great roll would be nice for once. Guess he'll just get knicked to death.

Gorgowzowa contemplates all the choices he has made in his life, disappointed he will not atone in this lifetime. The shame begins to overwhelm him, constricting his heart, pulling the air from his lungs. With a great rush of air he fills his chest and lets out a primal roar of rage, his face pulling back as if tearing away from his mouth, his eyes rolling back.

You know, I'm tempted to just use that crit AoO roll from two pages back... EDIT: I should not have said that.

The saboteur engaging Gorgowzowa sees the disarm attack coming, he stabs at Gorgowzowa:
Saboteur A's AoO: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 (hit; potential critical)
Saboteur A's confirmation: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 (hit; critical)
(heh.)
Saboteur A's damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Saboteur A's critical damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

This does not appear to drop Gorgowzowa, so no disruption to the other attacks.

is the guy pinned by rubble visible to me?

Crap, edit expired. Anyway, these daggers are poisoned. ... According to crit rules, only spells double damage on crit, and as backed up by this thread, no double penalty for poison. So, there's that.
Gorgowzowa's fort save vs. poison: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 (no save)
Gorgowzowa's DEX damage: 1d2 ⇒ 2 (take a -1 penalty on DEX bonuses: AC, etc.)

This situation looks eerily familiar.

is the guy pinned by rubble visible to me?

He has total cover and total concealment from you. You probably hear his groans of discomfort and/or pain, however.

Wanting to keep the sabateur's attention, Dae-Lhach calls out, "You foolishly attack one of Sarenrae's chosen with fire? You will see how futile that is!" Hearing Gorgo's scream, Dae-Lach moves around the hole to catch site of Gorgo. M7, M8, or L8, whichever I can view him Extending his holy symbol, Dae-Lhach draws upon Sarenrae's power and bursts, selecting not to affect the two visible sabateurs

burst: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9

Dae-Lach moves around the hole to catch site of Gorgo.

We'll set that at M-8. There is the question of whether Gorgowzowa, prone, would even be visible or whether the debris gives him cover, but I think you guys have a hard enough time with this encounter.

Rilendo acts:
Rilendo nocks another arrow, and looses it, grazing his target once again.

Gorgowzowa acts:
The half-orc masterfully fails at a skillful attempt at disabling his opponent. He curses himself at his inability to overcome his shortfalls and howls a barbaric roar directed at his failures.

Dae-Lhach acts:
The cleric of Sarenrae laughs off the attack, and unleashes a burst of his goddess' own healing flame.

Fire spreads:

End of round.

Seventh round of combat:

Saboteur A acts:
The saboteur engaging Gorgowzowa briefly laments his options as his opponent lay nearly helpless in front of him. Laughing at the sight of his enemy kicking and screaming to the floor, however, bolsters his resolve; he drops his dagger (free action), draws another (move action) and attacks:
Saboteur A's dagger vs. Gorgowzowa: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 (Gorgowzowa's prone effectively negates his mage armor bonus; there is a -2 DEX penalty for -1 AC; hit)
Saboteur A's damage vs. Gorgowzowa: 1d4 ⇒ 4 (additional dose of poison)

The pinned saboteur (Saboteur C) again attempts to free himself from the rubble.
Saboteur C's counter-grapple: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 (Re-using DC 18; success)
He frees himself, escaping the rubble (moving to X-8).

As fire continues to spread around Riken, his body tries to stabilize its wounds:
Riken's Stabilize: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 (DC is now 13; success!)

EDIT: forgot about the guy upstairs
The saboteur upstairs, seeing the cleric begin channeling, throws another bomb in his direction:
Saboteur B's bomb splash attack vs. Dae-Lhach: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 (hit)
Saboteur B's bomb damage vs. Dae-Lhach: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4) + 2 = 9 (fire damage)
Dae-Lhach's reflex to not catch fire: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 (catches fire!)
Fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 (fire damage)

The rest of the round proceeds:

Rilendo acts:

Gorgowzowa acts:
Fortitude save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 (fail)
DEX damage: 1d2 ⇒ 1 (no tangible effect)

Dae-Lhach acts:

Fire spreads:

For the record, I am keeping a transactional list of HPs, status, location and so on. Here is what I have your HPs listed at. Please let me know if you guys have conflicting numbers.

Rilendo angry with his bow, suddenly bullrushes Saboteur B.

Bullrush: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Gorgowzowa draws on his ki for split second premonitions of his opponents attacks so he can better defend against them. He rolls into a three point stance and attempts to wrap his arms around his adversary.

1 ki point for +4 AC
I think that's, standing, 18+4+4-1, 25, 18+4-1 21 touch

Stand up move.

Grapple: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 6 - 1 = 20
I believe my CMD for grapple is currently at 26, was 23-1+4

The saboteur gloating over Gorgowzowa stabs the half-orc as he stands:
AoO: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 (AoO before the move action, still prone; hit)
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Note that creatures who are grappled (that means Gorgowzowa, too) take a -4 to DEX, which means -7 for him.

reflex to put out flames: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Seeing Rilendo charge into the sabateur across from him, Dae-lhach sees his chance for a mass heal. Ignoring his flaming clothes for the moment, he bursts again, selecting not to heal the two closer sabateurs, estimating the third to be out of burst range.

burst: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8

Dea-Lhach then quickly moves back to room A9 and douses the flames on his clothes in the tub of water.

This is a somewhat awesome move, so I'll give a +2 situational bonus. And let you charge to the side, since charge also gives a +2 bonus. The bombing saboteur also does not have a melee weapon in hand, so no AoO.
Rilendo, frustrated at his bow's inability to strike, charges the saboteur in front of him. He barely manages to dislodge his opponent, pushing him through the gaping hole down to the floor below, Rilendo stops in the location his oppoenent was standing (I-8).
Saboteur B's fall: 1d6 ⇒ 2
The saboteur lands on the rubble (in square U-8), rolling down and finally resting next to it (in V-9).
Saboteur B's land on rubble: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Gorgowzowa stands, getting stabbed in the process, then grapples his opponent.

Dae-Lhach channels and then moves and jumps in the basin to put out the fire. (Standard to channel, move to get there and jump in, whereas move to get there would not allow anything else to put out fire. So, bath time. Dae-Lhach ends at L-3.)

End of round.

Eighth round of combat:

Saboteur A acts:
Being grappled, the saboteur engaging Gorgowzowa attempts to escape (standard action):
(Gorg's CMD vs. grapple is 26, but it's not grapple vs grapple it's EA vs. CMD, so 23; -2 due to DEX penalty; -1 for DEX damage; +4 from ki bonus = DC 24)
Saboteur A's Escape Artist: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 11 - 2 = 24 (...success)
He slips out of the hold. He drops his dagger (free action) and draws another (move action).

Saboteur C acts:
The saboteur who just escaped from the rubble (Saboteur C) sees his companion being knocked from above as well as hearing the combat in the other part of the Great Hall. He looks over his companion, nods to his compatriot, and moves to help with the other combat (to X-7).
Acrobatics up onto desk: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 (...fails)
Stuck in his location, he simply throws a bomb at Gorgowzowa:
Saboteur C's bomb splash attack vs. Gorgowzowa: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 (touch AC 18 +4 - 3 = 19; hit)
Saboteur C's bomb direct damage to Gorgowzowa: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 5) + 2 = 9 (fire damage)
Saboteur C's bomb splash damage to Saboteur A: 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 (fire damage)
Saboteur A's reflex to save for half: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 (save for half)
Gorgowzowa's reflex to not catch of fire: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 (catches fire)
Gorgowzowa's on fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Riken does not act

Saboteur B acts:
The saboteur who was just pushed downstairs pulls out an extract and drinks it.

The rest of the round proceeds:

Rilendo acts

Gorgowzowa acts:
Fortitude save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 (takes DEX damage)
DEX damage: 1d2 ⇒ 1 (now -4 DEX, -2 penalty)
Reflex save to put out fire: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 (puts out the fire)

Dae-Lhach acts

Fire spreads

Whats in the room that could be pushed on to Saboteur B?

Why -3 and not -1? I think the touch is 21. You counting grapple still, perhaps? And I'm in melee, so it's -4 to hit, so probably I take no damage from splash either, right?

Good point about the tossing into melee, and I was probably still counting the grapple penalty, yes. The attack roll is off by one (thrown is +11; melee is +10), however. So 1d20 + 11 - 4 => 10 + 11 - 4 => 17 vs. 21, miss.

I also forgot to say that Saboteur A 5' stepped away from Gorgowzowa, but I won't push it ;)

Whats in the room that could be pushed on to Saboteur B?

You are in a hallway. Nothing but your dinky little arrows.

Ok. Sab. C is at X-7. I messed that up, wholly. Forgot to mention that he draws a dagger drawn during the move. Also forgot that they have +22 to jump. So, that's a 23, which is an auto-success. That gave him a +1 higher ground vs. Gorgowzowa, but that's still an 18 vs. 21; miss.

Net result, he's at X-7 with a dagger drawn.

EDIT: Gorgowzowa is being a pedant off-board. They guy stood up when he properly escaped. He is not prone.

Gorgowzowa looks at the ninja, dejected... "I am a fool. But, I must fight for the Kirin and for Lantern to the end."

He looks at the ninja, and just starts laughing from the belly.
Swift ki dodge

EDIT: Gorgowzowa is being a pedant off-board. They guy stood up when he properly escaped. He is not prone.

No fair. If I was a pendant, I'd point out that he didn't have a running jump, right, so if an 11 was a miss, a 23 would be too, no?

Fine, he used climb then, instead. :P

That's what I suggested made it not matter when I was joking about it, but BTW, just because I'm a pendant and all, higher ground bonus is just for melee...

Dae-Lach splashes into the tub and exhales a sigh of relief as the waters extinguish the flames. He takes a brief moment to relax as the
waters soak into his clothes, cooling him off from the increasing heat in the building.

As his mind calms, something among the chaos is bothering him. He can't quite put his finger on it. Suddenly he bolts upright. "Riken!" He quickly replays events in his mind. "The sabateur Rilendo pushed into the hole had two arrows glance off of him. If Riken shot those, they would have landed. Those must have been from Rilendo." He tries to remember when he last saw Riken. "Heading off to the tower, I think", then he remembers peering through the trap door. The axe and the glimmer comes to his mind. "Could it be?".

Dae-Lhach climbs out of the tub and heads towards the trap door, leaving footprint puddles as he goes.

Rilendo sees Saboteur B drink something.

Spellcraft: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (15) - 2 = 13

Rilendo has no clue what he's doing but not taking any chances and is completely frustrated with this guy. He draws his sword and shield and heads back downstairs to confront him.

Rilendo follows his target downstairs (double-moving to engage at square W-9).

Gorgowzowa holds his action, expecting an opportunity to arise with his target.

Dae-Lhach has an epiphany and heads to the trap door (to H-6).

End of round.

Ninth round of combat:

Saboteur A acts:
Running out of options, the saboteur engaging Gorgowzowa attempts a melee attack.
Gorgowzowa's readied action triggers (do you realize how lame 'do anything' really is?).
Gorgowzowa, seeing his opponent prepare for the attack makes one himself, landing a blow.
Saboteur A's fortitude save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 (fails)
Gorgowzowa side steps his opponent (to V-4). The saboteur drops his dagger as a result of the blow.

Since Gorgowzowa's readied action changes his initiative (to before the init of his trigger), no further actions for him this round. Time to check on the poison.
Gorgowzowa's poison fortitude check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 (failure)
Gorgowzowa's DEX Damage: 1d2 ⇒ 1 (that's -5 DEX, now)

Saboteur C acts:
The saboteur atop the desk, seeing his stunned ally, pulls an item from his bag.

Riken does not act

Saboteur B acts:
The saboteur who finds himself engaging Rilendo pulls out a dagger and attacks:
Saboteur B vs. Rilendo: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 (miss)

The rest of the round proceeds:

Rilendo acts

Question, if you ready an action, does the opponent know you are and have an idea of what it is? Trying to see if my plan possibly worked or not.
