DM Rah's "Before the Dawn, Part II: Rescue at Azlant Ridge" PFS (Inactive)

Game Master Kobash

Well at least I'd be battle-ready.

Guess we better let the life out of Barlor. You know just as a precaution against undead pig farmers.

No team attack. Have to wait for me to rot. ;)

We were waiting for László, but I'm 99% sure I know he's going to do attack, so I'll roll for him and we'll continue.

The forces defending the camp have gained the upper hand, pushing back those at the breach and finishing off those who manages to slip through. Though things look good on the inside, but the sound of heavy footsteps approach.

Peri's magic missile strikes the chieftain, giving it another small injury. Shel and Haris move to flank it, jabbing with their daggers. Haris just barely misses a weak spot in its armor, but Shel's punches through and penetrates deeply into its thigh.

László fires an arrow, but his aim is off this time and the arrow misses completely.

Yanos moves closer, but does not yet attack.

The chief, frowns at the situation, but does nothing except tap its club against the ground impatiently.

László Arrow to Chief with PBS and Bless: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Arrow Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Chief Will Save vs Boredom: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Round 6: All Players are up.

Not sure why the evil chieftain was not fighting, Shel tried to take advantage.

Attack 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 29

Damage 1d3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3 plus
1d6 ⇒ 2 sneak attack

Possible crit 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Damage 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Thanks, DM R. That's what I would have done. This phone interface is better than my old one, but still kind of a pain.

Attack on chief: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Peri casts oppressive boredom on the chief again.(DC22)

Grunting Peri tells a small fib to encourage her companions to finish the beast.
"Quickly friends I can't keep him inactive forever"
Bluff1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

"Damn it!, Haris attempts the maneuver again.

dagger 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
damage 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
flank 1d6 ⇒ 1
Dirty 1 = 1

threat 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

I'll cast Divine Favor and then make my way a little closer to the chief, but still staying a little bit away. I want to try to be able to both charge and flank next round, if that's possible.

Haris, Shel, and László take down the chief, who almost seems thankful for ending its boring existence. Peri Yanos, save those spells, it was down before you needed them.

A cheer goes up from the camp as the enemy falls back, but you know it will only be a brief respite to tend wounds and give a prayer for the fallen. Outside the walks the giant angazhani bellows, its army reforming around it and preparing to charge again.

.The ground trembles as something large approaches from the camp behind you.

Oh, I thought the chief was the giant angazhani, hence the slowly moving to it.

"Something is trying to flank us from the rear!" as I turn around to check.
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Perception to see what is approaching 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Shel pulls a wand from her satchel. "Yanos, do you have a second to cure some of my wounds with this wand?"

It's a CLW wand, if anyone else needs a quick heal

Haris is unscathed at the moment.

"Certainly"

Sorry, I didn't think anyone was really that wounded. I had also Channeled not to long ago fro 8 to everyone.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

you channeled then shel got hit at the end of the round.

Peri will unspring her CLW wand
UMD 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

If we have time, I'll just heal so you don't have to keep rolling.

"Thanks Yanos. I feel all better now!"

Shel full HP. 49/50 charges left on CLW wand.

As Yanos looks over his shoulder to see if someone is flanking them from the camp, he sees a hulking shadow appearing over the horizon. For a moment it looks like a slow-moving mountain growing out of the earth, but as the light catches the surface, the details become clearer. The great behemoth shakes the ground as it approaches, like a warrior clad in ancient armor lumbering forth towards the sounds of battle. As it arrives, somehow perfectly clean and dustless, it becomes apparent that no warrior is within; rather, this great metal monstrosity is an animated statue, brought to life by some strange power, apparently intent on joining the fight. For which side or what cause it may fight is yet to be seen.

"Ok. You guys and gals take the big one and take the other big one. . . without his normal characteristic sarcastic humor. This time, well we really are going to all die anyway.

"I'm going back into the crypts to make my last stand, let the consortium sort the battle up here out."

that should have been "and I'll take the other big one."

Haris looks at the metal giant and then his hand dagger, "Right...". He switches his comforting crowbar and readies to open the iron can.

Just to clarify, the Iron Giant appears identical to the monoliths you saw in the first chamber beyond the Azlanti door.

Lordzum thinks Barlor is a robot, Peri has no common sense and retreats to the tombs.

"If we are getting out of the way, someone needs to grab Barlor. We can't leave him out here to get squashed!"

The Varisian stows his bow and picks up Barlor in a fireman's carry. "Come along, Ing. I shall be sure to get you pastries when all is done!"

Oh, just toss him.

"Hey Juliet. Now's probably a great time to tell us anything else you might not have told us about what you have found here." he calls across the battlefield while trying to get the people to get to safety from the new threat.

"Like what? Arrows of giant-slaying? Sorry, used them all as firewood!" Juliet calls back.

"Where did that come from!" Calgredene shouts, staring at the monolith. "What did you fools do?". His mercenaries seem about ready to route, their eyes darting about for escape.

A horn sounds from the west side of the camp, and then the east, and then from the tower. The lookouts shout, “They’re coming over the walls!” and the camp’s defenders run to meet the charge. About 40 feet from your posistion a large black-skinned hand reaches over the top of the wall. Then the terrible face of the giant angazhani pulls itself over, followed by the scrambling forms of charau-ka all along the top of the palisade. Beside you, two more of the ape creatures climb over and jump down inside the camp, followed by another shaman with a war cat.

In the camp behind you the light from the sphere has increased to a level almost painful to look at.

I'll cast oppresive boredom on the shaman. (DC 22)

"I thought you apes would have learned by now. Pity."

Laz drops Barlor's body and gets out his bow.

The shaman shakes it's head, resisting Peri's spell. It looks like you might need to fight this one.

The giant Angazhani gives a awful roar, it's eyes glowing red with arcane power. Mercenaries and guards flee in terror from the monstrous creature.

Shel pulls her now and fires an arrow at the chief.

Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Damage 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 plus
1d6 ⇒ 5sneak attack as he hasn't acted yet.

Haris tries to coordinate with Shel and gang up on the shaman. Trying dual daggers for the attack.

Acrobatics 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
main hand 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 4 = 17; 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
off hand 1d20 + 5 - 8 ⇒ (11) + 5 - 8 = 8; 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
flank+dirty fighter 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The monolithic construct lumbers forward and impacts heavily with the giant Angazhani.
Slam: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (7) + 36 = 43, Damage: 4d12 + 27 ⇒ (5, 1, 9, 3) + 27 = 45

A sickening poison cloud erupts from the face of the golem towards the opposing giant as well.

Divine Favor and move to war cat, leaving 2 squares between us if I can get that close.

FYI, Enlarge is still active for you Yanos, so I'll put you at 3 squares away.

Shel and Haris attack the shaman, but neither draws blood.

Yanos prepares for combat with another spell.

The monolith charges and smashes a fist into the angazhani, sending it back a step.

From across the battlefield Calgridene rides in with a mounted charge. At first it looks as if he might lance Shel, but he rides right past her and impales the shaman. Continuing on, the lance pulls free, spinning the creature about, but amazingly it remains on its feet and still in the fight.

Growling fiercely, the shaman sends its tiger at Yanos then gestures at Calgredine, summoning a flaming sphere that leaps at the mounted soldier. Calgredine's horse prances away and avoids it for now.

The tiger leaps for Yanos, but takes his longspear through the heart and dies instantly.

The charau-ka move in, one going for Shel, another for Haris. Haris dodges, but Shel takes a club to the knee. 5 Damage

Peri will cast entangle for maximum effect (dc16)

If I endangery allies with entangle I will just oppressive boredom the shaman again.

May need to rename the spear after that hit. . .

"Ah, we are back to this, again." The Varisian looses an arrow at the foe on Shel, but misses.

Arrow to charau-ka on Shel, incl. PBS and bless: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 13

Does anyone have Craft/Profession: Tiger Skinning for flavor stuff? I have, uh, a Faction Mission, yah that's it, that I might need your help on.

The Angazhani roars and flails it four arms at the monolith, pounding and clawing at the huge construct. It manages to scratch one arm and leave teeth marks in a shoulder, but the damage is negligible. 15 Damage

Don't forget the Fort save.

The monolith returns with two crashing blows.
slam: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (13) + 36 = 49, Damage: 4d12 + 27 ⇒ (1, 11, 9, 9) + 27 = 57
slam: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (11) + 36 = 47, Damage: 4d12 + 27 ⇒ (10, 9, 8, 12) + 27 = 66

Just edited and added the save. It resisted.

She'll drops her bow and draws her trusty Kukri. She swings at the monkey man who just damaged her.

Attack 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 1 = 19

Damage 1d3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

if I can sneak attack add plus two to attack, and 1d6 ⇒ 4 damage.

I'll move to flank with the big iron giant, leaping into the air hoping to get a face-to-face look before attacking the Angazhani.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Longspear: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 3) + 7 = 16

Did my actions get resolved?

Peri, entangle would have likely hurt your allies more than your enemies, so I was going to go with Oppressive Boredom. I should have mentioned that earlier, apologies. Anyway, that spell seems to go into effect when the target acts, but I'll resolve now so I don't forget.

Shaman Will save vs Boredom: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 fail

This time Peri's magic invades the Shaman's mind and prevents it from caring enough to act.

Waiting on Haris before continuing.

Haris continues to pair up with Shel on the attacks.

Acrobatics 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
main hand 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 5 - 4 = 12 flanking?; 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
off hand 1d20 + 5 - 8 ⇒ (10) + 5 - 8 = 7 flanking?; 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
flank+dirty fighter 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
