DM PeteZero's PbP GameDay 2: PFS From Shore to Sea (Inactive)

Game Master Pete who?

reflex save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Surprised by the shaking of the lighthouse, Magnus is knocked from his feet. "By Abadar, what is this?"

Pete, to speed things up, would it make sense for you to do the "rolling" for the initiatives and things like these reflex saves? I know other PbP GMs are doing that, and it might speed things up a little.

Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Flinders keeps his feet and looks around for a way to attack the beast.

Do we have a map?

That's some lighthouse.

Reflex save VS DC 15 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Staggering and crouched to keep her balance Kyra scans the distance.
"What ever that is. It's definitely not friendly." stating the obvious.

ooc: will start to roll initiatives or saves like this one when I am back from holidays. Not so much time, I just keep the game going currently.
There is no map, it just gets more cinematic soon

That's cool. Keeps things moving, etc. Since I am not physically rolling dice, I can divorce myself of the need to "roll" for myself. ;) Thanks!

Ref: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Bart keeps his footing as the structure rocks and sways.

The water rises to 15 feet, reaching the landing of the stairwell of the second level, and stops. The tentacled horror attacks—one of its giant tentacles bursts out of the stairwell and two more invade through the
east and west windows. The crowd environment erupts anew, providing cover for you and partial cover for the tentacles. Spellcasters attempting to cast spells in the crowd must succeed on a concentration check (DC 15 +
the spell’s level) or lose the spell.

Back to the top of the initiative order:
Flinders
Valeros
Ezren
Tentacled horror
Kyra
Bartholomew
Magnus

reflex save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Ezren manages to keep his feet as the building shakes.

Valeros struggles to keep his footing as the entire tower shakes. This town was clearly cursed.

Reflex save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

He falls on his ass and crawls to the wall to get back up. Falling down is not an unfamiliar occurrence for the Taldan fighter.

Let me know when to start attacking.

Flinders draw his rapier and stabs at a tentacle.

Attack, Cover: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 9 - 2 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 - 2 = 11
Crit Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Flinders manages to cut one tentwacle off, but still numerous are in the building. And more are arising from the sea.

The tentacled horror attacks. Rolls for whom the horror attacks.
Tentacle #1 1d20 ⇒ 5
Tentacle #2 1d20 ⇒ 8
Tentacle #3 1d20 ⇒ 10
And yes, bad luck it is only the PCs.

Tentacles gone: 1

5 Flinders
6 Valeros
7 Ezren
8 Kyra
9 Bartholomew
10 Magnus

vs. Flinders attack: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 - 2 = 15 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 if hit - grapple attempt CMB: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22 Constrict Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Group is up - and yes you can start attacking

Valeros charges the massive devilfish with a incoherent battle cry. He remains as deft with a blade as ever.

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 161d8 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

-8hp, prone, but not grappled

Knowing that he is in range of the tentacles, Magnus does not yet stand up, since that would prevent him from attacking. 'Time is of the essence. You must save these villagers!' He draws his as of yet unnamed magical cold iron falchion, and yells out,
"For Taldor and the Last of the Azlanti, I shall slay thee, beast!"

attack, from prone, no power attack: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 8 - 4 = 6
yet another miss. Sad Paladin.

Ezren, being the practical sort, casts mage armor on himself so that he might be able to survive this mess.

Crap Grappled.....
Kyra flails about in the grips of the creature, failing to excape its grip.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Bart retrieves a wand with one hand and activates it, shooting a bout of flame out at the tentacles.

CL3 Wand of Burning Hands. DC 11 Ref for half.
fire damage: 3d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 3) = 9

"Unhand her, foul beast!" Flinders yells as he stabs at another tentacle.

Attack, Cover: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 - 2 = 10
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Immediate action, cast Liberating Command on Kyra for a +14 to Escape Artist to break grapple (Immediately action for Kyra as well.

With the viallagers in the way Barhomolew hits one tentacle: Ref save tentacle#1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26.

Two of the tentacles:
1d20 ⇒ 13
1d20 ⇒ 12

grapple villagers.

The last one:

if Kyra gets free:
1d20 ⇒ 19
grapples another villager, or if she fails:

the tentacle tries to squeeze the life out of Kyra:

CMB: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20 Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (2, 4) + 9 = 15

Tentacles gone: 1
Tentacle #1: 4 damage

Group is up

Magnus, now with a moment to breath, stands up, and attacks one of the tentacles that is grabbing a villager (assuming he can reach it with a 5-foot step).
power attack w/ Falchion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 if hits damage: 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (3, 1) + 10 = 14
OMG... again? I am learning to hate this online die roller.

"Kyra, just cut your way out with your scimitar!"
You can attack with a one handed weapon, you'll just be at a -2, I believe

Bart draws a dagger in his other hand and stabs at one of the tentacles!

+1 mithral dagger: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Immediate action, cast Liberating Command on Kyra for a +14 to Escape Artist to break grapple (Immediately action for Kyra as well.

I missed my original cleric lol.

Kyra feeling the effects of a force aiding her attempts to escape from the tentacle.
Escape?!?! 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18
Whether she does escape of not, she slashes with her scimitar 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 131d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Those were really crap rolls....all below 10

Magnus misses, Barthomolew hits, but the tentacle still lashes around, and Kyra, bno anaging to escape the grapple, is not able to score a hit.

still to go: Flinders Ezren Valeros

Valeros keeps hacking away at the tentacles. This creature needs a good pruning!

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 331d8 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Crit confirm: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 191d8 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Flinders casts a spell, coating Kyra with grease.

"Lets speed things up a bit, shall we?" Ezren chants, guestures and throws a small bit of licorice root into the air. Everyone starts moving a bit faster.

Casting haste, I think I can affect the whole group

Note: Haste gives: +1 to attack, +1 AC (Dodge), Double movement (up to +30'), and an extra attack when performing the full attack action. Ezren can target 7 people, of which no one can be more than 30' away from any other person affected.

"Good job, Ezren! Your spell's sure to help us defeat this beast!"

Valkeros manages to cut another tentacle (I wil just say the one grappling Kyra), and the one grappling the villager - it just disappears with the villager out into the depths. Both are immediately replaced by new tentacles:

tentacle #1: 1d20 ⇒ 20
tentacle #2: 1d20 ⇒ 5
tentacle #3: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Tentacles gone: 2
Villagers gone: 1

Tentacle #1: 4 damage

One tentacle goes for Flinders: Attack: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 - 2 = 28
Crit confirm: Attack: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 2 = 14

Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
CMB: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21 Constrict Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Group is up

"This is getting out of hand!!" Kyra Grumbles as she swings her weapon hard against the tentacles
Attack 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 231d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Attack (Hasted) 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 91d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Bart quick draws another mithral dagger and hacks away at the nearest tentacle!

+1 mithral dagger, twf, haste: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 26
damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

mithral dagger, twf, haste: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 26
damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

+1 mithral dagger, twf, haste: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 16
damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

"புனித என்று அனைத்து மூலம், நீங்கள் விழும்!"

Magnus will attack (taking a 5' step if needed between attacks).
Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 damage if hits: 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (1, 1) + 10 = 12
Power Attack (Hasted): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 damage if hits: 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (4, 2) + 10 = 16

Flinders grunts in pain as the tentacles slaps him, then puts the squeeze on him.

Attack, Grappled, Cover?, Luck, Haste: 1d20 + 9 - 2 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 - 2 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 10
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5

Hasted: 1d20 + 9 - 2 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 2 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 28
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9

Flinders calls on his luck and stabs twice at the tentacle groping him.

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 9 - 2 - 2 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 9 - 2 - 2 + 2 - 1 = 12
Crit Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9

Valeros goes on a tentacle cutting rampage!

full attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 211d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 151d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 231d8 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 101d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 81d8 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 161d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 291d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 91d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 221d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

With ease you cut through the tentacles, but again they replaced by another three tentacles.

1d20 ⇒ 2
1d20 ⇒ 7
1d20 ⇒ 1

Tentacles gone: 6

Two flap[ping around wildly, but missing everyone, one going for Ezren:

Attack: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 2 = 21 Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
CMB to grapple: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24 constrict damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Group is up

"Ezren, Flinders! What do we need to do to defeat this damned thing?!"

Frustrated, Magnus attacks with his falchion once more, targeting the one that grabbed Ezren first.
Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 for damage: 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (3, 2) + 10 = 15
Hasted Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 for damage: 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (3, 4) + 10 = 17
That's really odd... two rounds in a row with the exact same rolls on the two attacks?

Previous round:

Ezren beats at a tentacle with his cane. "Dammit, get off my lawn"
Sorry, couldn't resist
attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 for damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
hasted attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 for damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Current round:
Feeling hampered by the close quarters and the bystanders, Ezren again beats at a nearby tentacle (or the one holding him) with his cane.
attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 for damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
hasted attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 for damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Crit confirmations and damage for previous round attacks
attack - crit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 for damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
hasted attack - crit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 for damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

KN: nature: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 2 = 20

Flinders stabs at yet another tentacle.

Attack, Haste, Luck, Cover: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 = 4

Hasted Attack, Haste, Luck, Cover: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7

Like a Tian chef at work, Valeros keeps his blades flying. It's a shame he doesn't have any rice wine, it would go well with all this devilfish he is carving up.

full attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 181d8 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 161d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 251d8 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 171d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 251d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 131d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 291d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 71d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 251d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Bart continues to hack away at the tentacles!

+1 mithral dagger, twf, haste: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 19
damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

mithral dagger, twf, haste: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 14
damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

+1 mithral dagger, twf, haste: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 23
damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Kyra lashes out in a frenzy disgusted that the tentacles kept trying to grope her. Oh the indecency!!!
"Quit Touching me!!!!!"
Slash 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 211d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Slash Haste 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 91d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

With ease you cut through the next tentacles, and suddenly the storm abruptly ceases and the water retreats as quickly as it came, leaving the villagers stunned.

@Valeros: how do you get 5 attacks?

With ease you cut through the next tentacles, and suddenly the storm abruptly ceases and the water retreats as quickly as it came, leaving the villagers stunned.

@Valeros: how do you get 5 attacks?

TWF with a BAB of 13/7 plus Haste?

As the storm subsides, Flinders looks around. "Is everyone ok?" He says as he draws a healing wand and begins to use it on himself.

CLW: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (8, 6, 8) + 3 = 25

without improved TWF he should only have four attacks

[b]"Kyra, are you going to channel Saranrae's healing power? If not, I can call on the power of Abadar to heal us. I think you might be better at it, for the Dawnflower is better known for healing than Master of the First Vault."

Flinders, you should save your charges if she is healing, since she can channel for a lot,

Magnus will go around and see how the villages are doing. If he sees any in immediate danger of death, he will lay on hands rather than wait for Kyra.

LOH w/ greater mercy: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 1) = 5 if needed

The villagers left are okay, only visible shaken.

BAB gives two attacks, one from haste, one from TWF - for the next attack with the off-hand you need ITWF - I only get 4 possible attacks

Kyra nods at Magnus's Request and Proceeds to call upon the Dawnflower's blessing as she gathers everyone else who is wounded to her.
"Gather around and feel my Patron's warm blessing! Let her soothe away your wounds and raise up your soul!"
Diplomacy 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
Channel 6d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 5, 3, 3) = 19 Is this enough?

Valeros looks out of the broken wall and mutters " What was that all about?

As Kyra channels healing, Flinders puts away his wand. "Much appreciated Kyra! Much better."

"That will do very nicely, Lady Kyra. I think we all feel much better now, as do the wounded townsfolk.

"What was that thing?"
Knowledge Nature anyone? Or is another knowledge required?

After checking out the injuries on the villages, Magnus will walk over to the holes in the walls, where the tentacles came in. This whole thing has him a little shaken, and he is concerned that more are coming.
perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

"I believe that is a question we should pose to those who lives here." Kyra speaks as she lloks upon the villagers.

"Do tell us what has conspired here and brought this to your village. It is is unlikely that all of you are gathered here at a place where a monster like that can attack all of you at once." Speaking to all of them Kyra turns her eyes towards them pleading.
Diplomacy 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

I rolled a KN: nature upthread. It was a 20.
