Ambush - Round 3

15 Evoker
14 Silverback
9 Maximilan
8 Orovan
23 Ruinor
5 Slicer
3 Willem

***Effect in Place - +1 to attacks and weapon damage***

The female cultist keeps moving, trying to avoid the smashing fists of Orovan. She cuts loose with another Magic Missile aimed at her wizard counterpart, Ruinor. The force bolt smashes into him for 6 damage, leaving him injured and reeling.

Magic Missile, evoker bonus: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

Silverback, Max, Orovan, and Ruinor (who I have at 1 hp) are now up against the pair of cultists.

Orovan closes the distance between himself and the enemy magic user. "I never liked you wizards!" he says, probably talking about his target.

Silverback steps up toward the rogue, continuing his scimitar attacks.

scimitar atk: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 111d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 = 11

Splittooth supports his master, cornering the rogue.

bite: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 1 = 151d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
claw1: 1d20 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) - 2 + 1 = 11d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5
claw2: 1d20 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) - 2 + 1 = 181d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

Ruinor is almost knocked to the ground with the force of the missile to his back as he screams in pain. Before he realizes the extent of his injuries, he spins around extending his arm towards the spell caster sending a jet of flame towards her. "Burn!" he says angrily.

Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 DC 14 Reflex save for half

As the amount of pain he is in becomes apparent to him, he then moves back into the alcove they had exited.

Maximilian continues to chant as he advances on the enemy spellcaster. His song reaches a crescendo as he thrusts at her with his rapier.

Free action: maintain raging song, 4 rounds remaining
Move action: per map
Standard action: attack caster
Rapier, flanking: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 14 for: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9

"...turning away
an unreliable map
For how long
the victim
look for landmarks
taking a chance..."

Ambush - Round 3 - continued

Silverback leaps at the halfling slicer, but his attack is easily dodged. The dinosaur pet leaps into the fray with his master, and while the rogue dodges to off his attacks also, the third rakes across his front side, leaving a large wound.

Maximilian keeps his song active while he rushes across the room, cutting off the fleeing evoker. His thrusts at his target with his rapier, but the shielding spell keeps the caster safe.

Orovan also rushes across the floor, ending up next to the caster but is unable to attack.

Ruinor sends a jet of flame at the caster who nimbly dodges most of the blast, receiving only a singe instead of a full out burn.

The halfling cultist sidesteps and stabs at Willem with his rapier, trying to cut his way out of the corner he's trapped in. His first attack is off-center, mostly due to his own wounds.

Evoker DC 14 Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Slicer rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Willem is up now to end the round.

Willim twice wounded yet now standing tries to finish off the halfling cultist with his torch.

tortured swing: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 = 17

damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8

Ambush - Round 3 - concluded

Recovering quickly from his own wounds, Willem mashes his flaming brand into the face of the halfling cultist, downing the enemy with a scream of agony.

End of Round 3

Ambush - Round 4

15 Evoker
14 Silverback
9 Maximilan
8 Orovan
23 Ruinor
3 Willem

Seeing her last ally go down in flames, the evoker cries out, "I will fight to the death in the name of the Living God, Aroden!" and she sidesteps, and launches a force missile at Orovan trying to stop the lumbering half-orc.

Force missile dmg, Orovan: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Now the group is up against the last remaining foe.

Willim wounded steps into the room with Runir to cast cure light wounds upon himiself.

cure: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Silverback and his pet quickly move to engage the last foe.

double move

Maximilian dances nimbly to surrond the wizard as the next words of his chant ring out.

Move action: per map, Acrobatics (avoid AoO): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Free action: maintain raging song, 3 rounds remaining

"...Sinister and cold beyond the vapors
We beat vaporous symbols in the dreamscape
Zounds! The evil has vanished..."

Standard action: attack

Rapier, flanking: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 7 for: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8

Orovan moves in behind the wizardly fanatic and throws a heavy punch.
Unarmed: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 23, Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9
Provokes an AoO if she's armed.

Ruinor tenses up as he sees someone enter the alcove, but relaxes when he sees it is Willim. "Oh, good, it's only you. I was worried for a moment."

Ambush - Round 4 - concluded

Silverback and his pet dinosaur hustle across the marble floor of the shrine to close in on the last cultist.

After avoiding her feeble stab with a dagger, Orovan rushes into the girl, throwing a heavy punch which downs the caster in a heap ending the fight.

Evoker AoO dagger: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9

End of Combat

After surviving the ambush the Pathfinders are able to leave the Shrine of the Failed just as the caretakers are returning to the Shrine after watching the failed attempt of Sir Reinhart to vault the chasm on horseback, which ended with a a fall into oblivion.

The group is able to bring the cache of information back to the Grand Lodge. Drendle Dreng is there to thank you personally, indicating his interest in your careers as Pathfinders. He assures you that you will have a future mission, and soon.

Several days later, as you are recuperating from the fight, you receive the following missive:"Pathfinder -- Your recent investigations and recovery of Eylysia's papers have already yielded results. Under my direction, a team of scholars has tracked down the long-retired Society ciphers the gnome used and translated many of her entries. Although many of these records present valuable leads, one is especially timely and exciting."

"Several months ago, the Pathfinder Society recovered an incomplete relic called the Sky Key. Its missing components disappeared millenia ago, carried by dwarven refugees to the far corners of Avistan and beyond, and the Society has struggled to follow these faint trails to piece the potent device back together. It appears Eylysia may have found one fo the pieces centuries ago! She writes of a visit to Tar Kuata in Osirion, where she is not only met with the Iroran devotees there, but also the curious order of Dwarven monks known as the Ouat. According to her journals, some of the resident dwarves' ancestors arrived long ago from the distant north, bearing a broken treasure of wire and steel. Based on additional context and several magical divinations, I have reason to believe Eylysia -- and you-- may have found one of the lost pieces of the Sky Key!"

"I have contacted Venture-Captain Norden Balentiir in Sothis to prepare for an expedtion. You have already demonstrated your resourefulness by uncovering this information; when I assemble a team to travel to Tar Kuate, I hope you will consider joining the expedition."

"Highest regards, Venture Captian Ambrus Valsin

ON that note, the adventure ends! Most of you should be able to level up to 2. I guess we can discuss next game choice in Discussion. I will be preparing Chronicle Sheets and trying to disseminate soon.
