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

Game Master Pete who?

Kyra waits to see where else her spells or blade would do the most damage even as she concentrates on her spirtual weapon to keep slashing it current foe.

Magnus hits this time landing a good blow. Barthomolew steps up and tries to hit it as well.

+1 mithral dagger:: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
damage:: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
sneak:: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 6) = 14

+1 mithral dagger:: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
damage:: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
sneak:: 2d8 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4

Kyra's attack:
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Cloaker 1: 44 damage
Cloaker 2: 19 damage

The woman tries to free herself.
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Barthomolew WILL save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

And the cloaker tries to get her:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 - and has problems.

The other two moan:
Flinders and Magnus WILL save DC15 or be affected by hold monster for 5 rounds

Group is up

will save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
will save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
I swear, the number of duplicates really makes me think that there is a bug in the die roller here.

Sorry, I've been traveling looking at houses in Madison, WI.

Bart keeps his wits about him and slashes again at the cloaker between himself and Magnus.

[i: 1d1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 = 23
damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
damage: 2d8 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

mithral dagger: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 = 13
damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
sneak: 2d8 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5

Will: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 2 = 14
Will: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 2 = 14

Flinders winces as the moans washes over him, then feels himself unable to move!

see what I mean? There really HAS to be a bug... should not happen that often

see what I mean? There really HAS to be a bug... should not happen that often

Could very well be. I've seen a few times before across different PbPs, including identical, multiple atttack/damage rolls.

Valeros bravely turns his tail and flees.

Ezren plinks away at the most wounded cloaker, again with the wand.

pew pew
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Just waiting for Kyra - esp., as it seem to turn into a tough fight - but this was the last round for Valeros legging it, when the cloakers have gone he can start to head back

Hmmm I had a thread where I rolled for all my players and everyone got boons. Then every other game I'm playing now seem to be having really bad rolls.

Kyra lets loose with her sling while her divine weapon slashes.
Sling 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Spirtual Weapon 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 241d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

With the efforts from Barthomolew and the magic missile the first cloaker goes down.

One goes after the woman - CMB: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

the other tries to engulf Magnus:
CMB: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 if engulfed - bite attack 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9.

Cloaker 2: 25 damage

Group is up.

Valeros can run back, the people hold can try to break the spell by saving again as full round action.

Forgot: AoO as the woman moves away: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

and she goes down, the cloaker moving over to feed on her.

save vs hold person: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Caught in the grasp of the cloaker, Magnus summons his inner strength and tries to throw off the effects of the spell. At least the foul creature was unable to penetrate his armor.

Bart moves up to the creature trying to eat the woman, if for nothing else than to give it a moving target. "Help over here! Get behind it!"

+1 mithral dagger: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Hearing Bart's cry, Valeros finally masters his fear and runs back to the fray.

Will Save: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 2 = 29

Through force of will, Flinders breaks free from the creature's hold.

Ezren continues sniping away with his wand, this time concentrating on the cloaker trying to eat the downed woman.

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

ooc: just Kyra to go

Kyra seeing her companions entering teh fray now, simply concentrates on having her divine weapon continue. Choosing instead to conserve her spells and stones.

Spirtual Weapon 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 141d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

ooc: someone want to npc Kyra? i fear we will not finish in time otherwise.

She posted about 18 min. before you.

hm, slow update
Bart and Ezren manage to hit, but are not able to do solid damge.
one cloaker continues to feed on the woman, the other tries to Magnus, who fortunatel is free now.

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

you hear slurping munching sounds, as the cloaker bites a good chunk of Magnus.

cloaker2: 25 damage
cloaker 3: 7 damage

Unconcerned about his own safety, Magnus charges the cloaker holding the village woman. By Aroden's wrath, I shall smite thee, beast!!!"
[No, he is not using smite evil, nor does he worship Aroden, technically. He just gets confused sometimes!

charging power attack vs grappling cloaker: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 damage: 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (2, 4) + 10 = 16
critical confirm: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 damage if success: 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (1, 1) + 10 = 12

If the AoO hits, he will lay hands on himself as a swift action
lay on hands! greater mercy: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 2) = 7

Flinders moves closer and fires an arrow at the woman mauling cloaker.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 = 8

Kyra moves in closer as she commands her god given weapon to keep attacking.
spiritual weapon 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 281d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Move in closer. Someone please move me as I'm posting from phone.

moved you in, and updated my position on the map as well. If you didn't change targets with the spiritual scimitar, you should have an attack!

i was thinking based on my previous actions, I never moved near to the combat henve the move closer. If I do have an attack then 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 91d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 crap......

Bart continues to call out for help, trying to save the woman.

+1 mithral dagger: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

mithral dagger: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Ezren manages to brinmg the cloaker down - the other moves in to engulf the woman.

CMB: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Kyra can take an AoO, Valeros is back. Group is up.

Magnus will move, proving an attack of opportunity, yelling, "Get away, ma'am! By Abadar's will, I shall save you!"
diplomacy, trying to get her to withdraw: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

He then calls up on Abadar's will to heal himself I am assuming based on my move above he did not heal himself last round lay on hands, greater mercy: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 2) = 5
He then attacks with his falchion: power attack w/ flank: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 for damage =>: 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (2, 4) + 10 = 16

Valeros charges back into the melee with a hearty shout!

Charge the Cloaker: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 301d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Kyra swings!!
Scimitar 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 231d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Feeling her weapon bite flesh, hopefully she swings her weapon once more even as she directs her Spirtual weapon to a new target.

Scimitar 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 161d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Spirtual Weapon 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 201d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Flinders moves into a flanking position with Bart and then stabs with his rapier.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 2 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 = 8

You have no problems taking the last cloaker down. As you pull the cloaker off the woman you notice that you were to late to safe her - she is dead.

You also discover two interesting magic items concealed in the fleshy folds of the cloakers. One wears a ring of swimming. Another has a marinethemed plaque made of a strange bronze alloy, an Azlanti amulet of natural armor +1. When grasped, the plaque breaks apart into sigils that clamber up the user’s body and embed themselves along his upper torso, taking the user’s neck slot. The amulet can be removed at will.

And again the island's magic pulls on you:
FORT saves:
Flinders 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Ezren 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Kyra 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Bartholomew 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Magnus 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

If you want to rest just let me know

Moving on to B7 - Observatory
A cracked crystalline dome surrounded by overgrown, walled courtyards rests here in ruined splendor, precariously supported by intricately curved columns. Smashed doors of coral open into the pervasive gloom within. Inside, the crystal dome reveals a remarkably clear night sky. Dozens of glowing metallic globes, spheres, glyphs, and crystal lenses circle in swirling orbits around the room, some held together in corroded metal mounts. Periodically, a lens pauses, briefly concentrating the light of some distant star upon one of the glowing glyphs circling the perimeter of the massive orrery.

Looking at Bart, you see that he has become hunched with twisted hands and feet that are now fully webbed. He has trouble walking in this state. "Let's get this done quickly, please. I'm starting to dislike this place."

KN: planes: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Flinders looks around the observatory, impressed with the mechnisms. After a moment, he pauses to heal himself with a wand.

CLW: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 6, 8) + 3 = 23

Hey Flinders. Let Kyra do the healing...

"I'm starting to hate this place but it's best that quickly resolve this weird magic first."

Using her god given gifts, she calls upon the power to see magic.
Detect Magic
Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

"What's important now are those villagers who are up there and seem to be guarded. Also these creatures....bear items....magical items...It bodes ill." Kyra scans the Observatory

Magnus looks to the woman, saddened that he could not save her. 'Soon I will be able to do something about that. Soon I will be able to turn back death, if I am valorous enough.'

He then looks to his own wounds, which are minor. "Mistress Kyra, if others are wounded, perhaps your could call for aid from your Lady Sarenrae? Also, though it seems that this island has its risks, how are you all doing with spells? I haven't had the need to use many of the abilities granted me by Abadar, for nothing we've fought has actually been evil, nor have we had need of a lesser restoration spell. That being said, I know that Ezren and Kyra have gone through a goodly number of spells. If we need to rest, the. We should do so. I have no need, but other?"

Magnus looks longingly at the Azlanti plaque. It would both help him to protect himself, but also, perhaps, bring him closer to The Last Azlanti. But he would never ask, shis vows are to strong for that. However, being of the church of Abadar, he considers what payment he could make.

Valeros just groans and tries to hold on to his traitorous guts. The sooner they are done with this cursed place, the better.

"I have used but just one spell from my patron. I have other blessings from her that I have not called upon yet. Yet all who are wounded come. I have healing to spare." Kyra brandishes her own Wand of healing, a gift from the Church of Sarenae.

Kyra detects a lot of magic here:
The crystal dome magically filters the light of day from the interior of the structure, revealing the stars normally concealed by the sun’s light. The metal spheres and crystal orbs of this orrery orbit freely through the air, some serving as intricate mounts for lenses that focus concentrated starlight on a series of perimeter-orbiting glyphs. The observatory is 200 feet in diameter, and the dome is 60 feet high in the center.
Its lenses cracked, its glyphs faded, and its spheres out of synchronization, the once finely calibrated machine now works only erratically.

"There's alot of magic floating around here. I wonder if it could be a cause of the changes here."

"Any ideas of what we should do here?" Flinders asks his companions.

Ezren spends a few minutes studying the room silently.

and here are a bunch of random checks that might? be applicable...
knowledge nature: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28
knowledge arcana: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
knowledge planes: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34
knowledge history: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
appraise: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
spellcraft: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31

Magnus helps out in the discussion about what's going on by including his study of relIgion:knowledge religion: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

He doesn't think that his knowledge of nobility will help here.

Valeros just tries not to be in the way. If the situation didn't call for blade work, he found it was best not to try to help.

Kyra seeing that Magnus is injured taps him with her wand
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
"You look like you could do with some healing."

As you observe the observatory, you notice that the components are moving. To get to know more you would need to navigate the orrery’s hazardous orbiting components which could be difficult.

Basically to find out more you would need to move in. I need to know where you want to move and how. The area is full of movement, no taking 10 or 20 in here.

Kyra observes the movement and takes a step forward.
Kyra's Step

Ezren steps forward, into a space between the orbiting glyphs, where it should be simple enough to keep pace while observing the rest of the room. Who knows, maybe he can suggest where a younger, more nimble person might want to go?
