DM Panic's The Goblinblood Dead (Inactive)

Game Master wakedown

apologies Harley Quinn- i did not catch the intent

Oddr continues to strike away at the zombie...
DWA: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
DMG: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

"Tis like that smithy!"

Given the freshness of the zombie corpse, Oddr's axe squelches into it with a fairly disgusting noise and hews away a fairly sizable chunk.

Still Up: Zartan, Haffley!

Free action to speak out-of-turn

"Someone run around the other way, see if you can help surround the remaining hobgoblin here!"

Haffley lunges and feints at the zombie, trying to distract it from flailing at Sam.
Same thing as before, aiding Sam for AC, but then using acrobatics to avoid AoO and begin working my way around, despite my better judgement.
(Flanking + Higher Ground)
Aid Another to AC for Sam: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 10
rofl annnnnnd this is why paying attention to bonuses matters, cats and kittens

"You got it, Poem Lady, I'm on it!"
Using last charge of adaptable luck
Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 3 = 11
I don't like that result, going for Derring-Do
1d6 ⇒ 1

12...ruh-roh

I think Zartan is supposed to be back from traveling, but I haven't seen a post yet. Will put a 'TBD' in Round 8 and let Zartan take two actions.

The zombie swings at Haffley as she tries to tumble past, clubbing her good (7 damage).

It then whirls around and continues to flail harmlessly against Sam's defenses.

Meanwhile, the priestess juggles a dark wooden wand to her hand, which glows with dark energy as she strikes Ayo with it (5 negative energy damage to Ayo).

Round 8
22 Sickly Sam (4dmg): Swings and misses again
17 Haffley : Moves, aids Sams AC +4
12 Hobgoblin "T" (13dmg) : Fails to land 14 damage spell
12 Zombie "Z" : Misses Sam
11 Oddr : Chops at zombie for 7
10 Ayo : Misses priestess
8 Zartan (9dmg): TBD

Round 9
22 Sickly Sam (4dmg): Misses.. again
17 Haffley : Aid Sam, moves and provokes, getting slammed for 7 dmg
12 Hobgoblin "T" (13dmg) : Wands Ayo for 5 negative energy
12 Zombie "Z" (7 dmg) :
11 Oddr :
10 Ayo (5 dmg):
8 Zartan (9dmg):

Round 10
22 Sickly Sam (4dmg):
17 Haffley (7mdg):

Now Up: Everyone! (and Zartan twice)

Oddr strikes at the zombie once again...

DWA: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
DMG: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

"OWWWWIEEEE!"

Pretty sure Oddr just killed the zombie, so I'll double-move to my current location based on Ayo's words.

Constitution check to Stabilize: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Zartan bleeds for an additional point of damage.

Constitution check to Stabilize: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Zartan is stable at -2 HP

Ayo grunts as the negative energy rips into her, but she grits her teeth and pushes down the pain.

"You finally harmed me. My turn."

20% Miss Chance (high is always good for me): 1d100 ⇒ 92
Attack with MW Katana (divine favor+ fate's favored, judgment): 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 19
Damage (divine favor+fate's favored): 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

Please let that hit *crosses fingers*

Miss - High Hits : 1d100 ⇒ 17 I'm done with this game...

Sam swings once more at the shadows deciding that he is leaving this lair now.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Oddr finally cuts down the zombie while Haffley rushes about to lend Ayo some aid, taking the far path. He heads sounds of battle outside, and correctly assumes Serana has engaged the hobgoblin captain that they saw circling about earlier (handwaving that combat resolves "off camera").

@Zartan: You should be at +2hp. So no need to stabilize? You have 2 actions to take, too - since you haven't been GMPC'd since round 7.

Ayo finally, barely strikes the priestess a second time while Sam learns he must bear a curse from the gods for something his father unearthed decades ago...

Will give Zartan a chance to act, and post an update after dinner.

Zartan follows Haffley around, discovering the now open door to a small prison alongside his ally. (GMPC, having Zartan double move in R8 and R9)

Three cramped cells line the western wall of this chamber while an exposed pit runs along the northern wall. The cells are little more than cages made of metal and old wood, with piles of dried grass barely covering the stone floors.

Another open door apparently leads towards the fight in the mist.

Meanwhile, the hobgoblin priestess works to improve her defense against Ayo, swiftly drawing a scroll and reading it (provokes an AoO). He wounds appear to be knitting themselves shut as she reads off each word.

Round 9 Con't
11 Oddr : Finishes off zombie
10 Ayo (5 dmg): Strikes hobgoblin for 7
8 Zartan (9dmg): Moves

Round 10
22 Sickly Sam (4dmg): Didn't need to swing, if you wish to revise
17 Haffley (7mdg): Moves
12 Hobgoblin "T" (20dmg) : Draws and reads scroll, healing
11 Oddr :
10 Ayo (5 dmg):
8 Zartan (9dmg):

Round 11
22 Sickly Sam (4dmg):
17 Haffley (7mdg):

Now Up: Everyone!

Ayo sees an opening as the hobgoblin draws a scroll and takes her swing.

20% Miss Chance (High is eternally good for me): 1d100 ⇒ 73
Attack of Opportunity with MW Katana (divine favor+FF, judgment): 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 11
Damage (divine favor+FF, judgment): 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11

Increasingly frustrated by this infuriating hobgoblin, Ayo's strike lacks her usual grace of form and misses.

20% Miss Chance (High is eternally good for me): 1d100 ⇒ 97
Attack with MW Katana (divine favor+FF, judgment): 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 12
Damage (divine favor+FF, judgment): 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11

Her frustration only increases as she swings again and connects with nothing.

Oddr rushes into the room to engage the hobgoblin and hopefully draw the attention away from the others...
"Hey Hobby! Time for you to die!"

20% miss chance (81-100 misses): 1d100 ⇒ 16

DWA: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
DMG: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Double-move to current location.

Ayo and Oddr both work to land blows but struggle with Golarion's Greatest-Ever Obscuring Mist (TM). The priestess swings ineffectively at the northmen but in this case, the mist thwarts her attempt as effectively as it has been thwarting Sam.

Still Up: Sam, Zartan

Will Save for Half Versus Inflict Spell: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Stop eating my g&$~!#n crit threats :(

I recall that Sam is traveling today and taking the bar exam Tuesday and Wednesday. Normally I'd GMPC Zartan if he was the last one up and about a full day passed. Since there's a possibility we don't get a post from Sam until Thursday, I'll let you guys decide if you want to wait, or would like him GMPC'd to keep things moving.

I vote for GMPCing him. Maybe you'll have better luck hitting something haha

Will bot Sam for a round. Maybe the GM dice will be kinder than Sam's.

Sam goes in for a swing, seeming to overcome the fog at last, but his swing ricochets off the hobgoblin's armor ineffectively.

Now seeing herself surrounded by four capable Pathfinders, Teldra quickly does an assessment of her three newest threats.

Iomdean.. stalemate for a minute.
Halfling.. small, weak.
Sick boy, having trouble hitting broadside of a barn.
Ulfen with an axe. Likely weak willed.

Turning her ire towards Oddr, she weaves a spell and targets him.

Cause Fear at Oddr. DC15 Will or flee for 1d4 ⇒ 1 rds.

Now Up: Everyone!

WIL vs DC 15: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20

"Get out of my head! Oddr yells out and then swings his war axe at her...

20% miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 26
DWA+flank: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16
DMG: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Ayo takes small comfort that the hobgoblin woman has turned her attention to another, thus proving she lacked Ayo's resolve. Ayo continued to swing away at the hobgoblin, her stoic demeanor hiding a thousand curses upon this fog and the woman who spawned it.

20% Miss Chance (high is forever good for me): 1d100 ⇒ 10
Attack with MW Katana (divine favor+FF, judgment): 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 12
Damage (divine favor+FF, judgment): 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

Fighting Defensively for AC 22, Flanking

Miss chance, 1-20 misses: 1d100 ⇒ 51
Defensive Attack Roll + Flanking: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

I'll keep GMPCing all missing PCs at the end of each day to try to get this scenario wrapped up...

Also GMPC'ing Zartan Round 10 to have inflicted a Painful Stare on the hobgoblin, so that can be considered up.

Zartan, with no other spells to utilize (mm, wish there was an acid splash or daze available), loads and fires his crossbow again and once again nearly hits Haffley in the back.

Sam continues to search for his first landed blow in quite some time, still coming up short. Luckily for the Pathfinders, the hobgoblin seems to struggle focusing on a spell of her own now that she's surrounded.

Round 11 Con't
11 Oddr : Swings, misses
10 Ayo (5 dmg): Swings, misses
8 Zartan (9dmg): Loads and fires crossbow, missing

Round 12
22 Sickly Sam (4dmg): Swings and misses
17 Haffley (7mdg): Swings and misses
12 Hobgoblin "T" (3 dmg) : Tries to concentrate on spell, fails
11 Oddr :
10 Ayo (2 dmg):
8 Zartan (9dmg):

Round 13
22 Sickly Sam (4dmg):
17 Haffley (7mdg):

Now Up: Everyone!

Oddr continues to attack the lucky hobgoblin foe determined to bring her down...

Miss chance: 1d1 ⇒ 1
DWA: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 13
DMG: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Attacking, Flanking

Miss chance, 1-20 misses: 1d100 ⇒ 8
Defensive Attack Roll + Flanking: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

I see that Sam has contributed nothing so far! Let's try again from my rolls!

Sam tries to take another swing, having been fatigued from dropping out of his rage. "I *cough* can *cough cough* do this." he says, the fog getting into his lungs and causing him to swing errantly once more.

Concealment-Low Misses: 1d100 ⇒ 20 WHAT?!?! That's like 800 freaking misses from stupid 20%! Dammit, Paizo! I put up with goblin splash pages all day to have this happen. :(

Oddr, Haffly and Sam find their ill luck continues.

Still Up: Ayo, Zartan

Crossbow with cover and melee: 1d20 + 2 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 2 - 2 - 4 = 4

haha! I was going to roll concealment...but, no.

Ayo grits her teeth as this goddess-forsaken hobgoblin keeps eluding her blows.

20% Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 1
Attack with MW Katana (divine favor+FF, judgment): 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20
Damage (df+ff): 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

Ayo and Zartan join their allies in continuing easy discovery of ill luck.

Now having observed the Ulfen and ascertained his martial prowess matching the others assaulting her, the hobgoblin grows emboldened once again.

She berates you all in Abyssal (since that's all she can speak) before a murky miasma forms around her wand once again.

She chooses to strike at Haffley this time, sensing the halfing is the most wounded, and the most desirable route to take once her obscuring mist comes to an end (6 or 3 damage to Haffley).

@Haffley: DC11 Will to take half damage (3)

Round 12 Con't
11 Oddr : Miss
10 Ayo (2 dmg): Miss
8 Zartan (9dmg): Miss

Round 13
22 Sickly Sam (4dmg): Miss
17 Haffley (7mdg): Miss
12 Hobgoblin "T" (3 dmg) : Wands Haffley for 6 (or 3)
11 Oddr :
10 Ayo (2 dmg):
8 Zartan (9dmg):

Round 14
22 Sickly Sam (4dmg):
17 Haffley (7mdg):

Now Up: Everyone!

Ayo takes a deep breath, trying to remember her training in the Way of the Samurai. Slightly calmed, she swings again.

20% Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 32
Attack with MW Katana (DF+FF, judgment): 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 18
Damage (DF+FF, judgment): 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

Please let this hit....

Ayo swings again, memories of her training swirling in her mind.

Her strike should've landed, but the hobgoblin pivots and twists, her bone-armor deflecting the blow once again, just in time.

(You've all but found the AC!)

Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Concealment 1-20 misses: 1d100 ⇒ 11
Fight Defensively (AC 22): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 76

crossbow bolt: 1d20 + 2 - 6 ⇒ (9) + 2 - 6 = 5

Oddr once again curses and takes another swing at the female...

DWA: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 = 25
DMG: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Miss chance 20%: 1d100 ⇒ 58

Sam continues to blindly swing his hammer around the area, apparently unsure of what to hit.

High Misses! : 1d100 ⇒ 47 F$!! yeah!
Stop Hammer Time: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 - 1 = 5 Is Paizo f$%#ing with me? What the f$+#...

-Posted with Wayfinder

Oddr's swing is the first to land against the hobgoblin in considerable time. She turns away from Haffley and the four other meager swings, her eyes widening as she babbles on in Abyssal. Likely something exasperated at being struck judging by her expression.

She appears to gamble somewhat in working a spell, digging deep into her divine reserve, her hand glowing once again as she strikes at the Ulfen (12 negative energy damage, DC15 Will for half). This time, the wounds begin to bleed from the assault.

Round 13
11 Oddr : Chops for 4
10 Ayo (2 dmg): Misses
8 Zartan (9dmg): Misses

Round 14
22 Sickly Sam (4dmg): Misses
17 Haffley (10mdg): Misses
12 Hobgoblin "T" (7 dmg) : IMW at Oddr for 12 (or 6)
11 Oddr (12 or 6 dmg; bleed 1):
10 Ayo (2 dmg):
8 Zartan (9dmg):

Round 15
22 Sickly Sam (4dmg):
17 Haffley (10dmg):

Now Up: Everyone!

Ayo realizes that her frustration is only making her miss. She visualizes the swing of her blade in a calm, graceful arc.

"Death comes to you soon enough."

She swings, mimicking the swing in her mind.

Last round of divine favor D:
20% Miss Chance (high is forever good for me): 1d100 ⇒ 94
Attack with MW Katana (df+ff, judgment): 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 23
Damage (df+ff): 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10

WIL vs DC15: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (12) + 0 = 12

Oddr yells out in pain from the negative energy damage and in anger strikes out once more at the foe...

DWA: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24
DMG: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
20% miss: 1d100 ⇒ 98

Finally some hits!

Ayo and Oddr both strike out at the hobgoblin priestess whose eyes widen in surprise as both blows connect.

21 damage from those both, but she's still up.

Still Up: Sam, Haffley, Zartan

Should I even try at this point?

Sam continues to swing around, finally seeing the magically-inclined hobgoblin through the cloud.

Concealment - Low Hits: 1d100 ⇒ 74
Warhammer @ Hobgoblin: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 - 1 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 1 = 6

Concealment 1-20 misses: 1d100 ⇒ 80
Fight Defensively (AC 22): 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 1 + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

The Pathfinders finally land a pair of strikes while Sam's bad luck continues.

The priestess continues to try to strike Haffley down to give herself a path to fall back to a better position. She strikes out with her wand again as fresh wounds erupt on the halfling (4 damage, or DC11 Will to take 2 damage)

Round 14
22 Sickly Sam (4dmg): Misses
17 Haffley (10mdg): Misses
12 Hobgoblin "T" (7 dmg) : IMW at Oddr for 12 (or 6)
11 Oddr (13dmg): Bleeds 1, strikes for 11

12 Hobgoblin "T" (28 dmg) : Wands Haffley for 4 or 2
11 Oddr (14 dmg): Bleeds 1
10 Ayo (2 dmg):
8 Zartan (9dmg):

Round 16
22 Sickly Sam (4dmg):
17 Haffley (12 or 14dmg):

Now Up: Everyone! (Zartan twice)

Ayo shifts her stance, holding the grip of her sword at her waist, the tip point backwards along the ground.

"My sword has found you. The Lady of Graves judge you well, and pray that Yaezhing cannot find you."

She swings her sword up and across the hobgoblin's chest, from waist to nape of the neck.

20% Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 94
Attack with MW Katana (judgment): 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 = 18

Stabilize Check: 1d20 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 - 1 = 3
wow, fml
EDIT: WOOOOOO AYO

Sam finally coughs up some foul black miasma as it splatters on the ground near his feet. "I think I'm feeling a bit better..." he says as he takes another swing at the hobgoblin.

Concealment - High Hits: 1d100 ⇒ 75
Warhammer | Fatigued: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 1 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 1 = 7

Ayo lands a solid blow, while Sam's fatigue seems to now be the factor in him connecting the final blow.

Still Up: Oddr

Oddr takes another swing at the hobgoblin...

20% Miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 34
DWA: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
DMG: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

"I seem to be bleeding more than normal....can someone help with that?"

Oddr's strike barely connects, yet finds its way through a gap in the hobgoblin priestess's defenses as she crumples to the ground.

Out of combat.

I'll assume Ayo grabs you want to stop the bleed the very next action after using a wand charge to stop Haffley from dying. Cross off two wand charges and I'll work to wrap up the scenario.
