DM Rah's "Quest for Perfection - Part III" PFS (Inactive)

Game Master Kobash

Jonterra backs up to the wall and looks up, withdrawing his wands of healing and mage armor. "Could someone help me with these?"

"I can help with the one but not the other, hey?"

Raul channels positive energy to heal his companions.
heal: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

I assumed Jonterra already had Mage Armor up.

Villagers run forward and put out the flames on the barricade, giving Raul a bucket full as well.

Klaidingo and Barley are up.

shortbow: 1d20 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 + 1 - 2 = 12;1d6 ⇒ 4

Barley adds another arrow to the thematic morning (and the rice fields).

Wasn't sure how much time had passed. Just making sure.

"Thanks!" Raul says with genuine gratitude.

Taking Chamius' advice, Kryssa instead shoos the horses down the path to get in the way of the oncoming riders.

Handle Animal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Klaidingo summons a spear and waits for the next assault.

"Cor, I'm about blown. I've only a bit more courage to spread around yet, so I'd better wait 'til the next wave's on us." He beats out a 1-2-3-4 on the drum and raises an encouraging fist to one of the village archers after a particularly good shot. "One more for Nesting Swallow!"

A brief cheer erupts from the villagers as the latest wave of bandits retreats, but they are soon muffled by those wise enough to know the fighting is not yet done. For the most part, the farmers prepare themselves for further combat; their fallen comrades are respectfully moved away from battleground, crossbows are reloaded, and what repairs can be made to the barricades are attempted. While the main barricade survived the assaults in good condition thanks to your presence, the others didn't fare quite as well, though they did hold and the villagers are in good morale for having defended them on their own.

Then, suddenly from the eastern edge of the village, a low growling sound grows in volume, followed by a loud crash comes from the barricade there. Panicked villagers come running from that direction. “A demon! The crows have brought a demon down upon us!” one of the farmers screams, throwing his spear down as he runs.

You have 3 rounds of actions before this happens, so adjust position or heal if needed. Keep in mind this attack happens without warning.

INITIATIVE
Owlbear - Bursts through the barricade!
Kryssa <=UP
Barley <=UP
Klaidingo <=UP
Jonterra <=UP
Chamius <=UP
Raul <=UP

Raul clambers down the wall and makes for the broken barricade.
climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

When he can, Chamius will uncoil his whip from the top of the barricade so Kryssa or Jonterra will have an easier time getting back into the village.

”Wooooohoo!”, Barley joins the cheer.

The only demons Barley have seen since leaving his little village has been mountain lions, cannibals and furry yetis. So when he hears the shouts about demons, he assumes it’s a really big tengu and heads for the eastern wall with another arrow. "Yeah, right..."

readied shot: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3;1d6 ⇒ 2

Jonterra will climb back over the barricade and wait, unless Kryssa decides to stay out, at which point he will have readied an attack.

Readied Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Kryssa, having reverted to her normal self, looks at her armor and then at the wall and yells, "I can guard this front if you guys want to get the beast."

"Barley and the wizard come with me!" Raul orders.
If that's cool with you guys of course.

Yes, but Raul is back at the barricade? Can I undo move GM?

I should be a single move away from the barricade towards the "demon".

(Villagers says demon was to the east, I think)

I thought it was west on the map...

-Posted with Wayfinder

Following the sound of screams, Raul calls for support and heads towards the western barricade. As he arrives with Klaidingo, he finds Barley already in action with his bow, loosing arrows at a black and white owlbear that has crashed through the barricade and tossed a couple villagers to the ground with its claws.

The owlbear roars as Raul charges into the area and it begins to lumber forward towards him.

Klaidingo's up, the Owlbear.

Map Updated.

Then, suddenly from the eastern edge of the village, a low growling sound grows in volume, followed by a loud crash comes from the barricade there.

(but no worries, Barley's position is ok now.)

Heh. I meant west.

(oki thought there might be two threats)

Klaidingo follows Raul.

The owlbear charges at Raul, taking a claw across his breastplate.

Charging Claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

PARTY UP!

Raul swings his hardest at the beast.
big hit: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 - 1 = 15, damage: 2d6 + 7 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1, 5) + 7 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 18

”Oh-”, Barley says slightly disappointed at the sight of the demon,”It is another big bird.”. Staying out of reach, he circles around to flank; he tosses the bow aside and draws a katana.

(defensive for the round)

Can Jonterra be closer, or is that where he starts from, on the map?

Klaidingo points his ring at the owlbear, and casts grease.

"Demon... Pfft, it's just an owlbear."

Klaidingo stares strangly then realizes what he just said.

Oh $#!+, an Owlbear!

Jonterra, a few rounds passed after the singing Tengu were defeated and the Owlbear arrived. You can anywhere within reason.

Did someone say a singing owlbear??

-Posted with Wayfinder

Reflex save vs Grease: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Raul gives the owlbear a bloody wound as Barley maneuvers into a flanking position.

Klaidingo casts a spell, but the owlbear doesn't fall.

The owlbear tears into Raul, and though he fends off one claw and beak, a second claw catches him. The beast tries to pull him into its grip, but Raul is too strong for it.

Claw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Claw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Grab: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

PARTY UP!

Raul makes a mental note to heal himself later, then lashes out at the owlbear.
big hit: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 1 = 20, damage: 2d6 + 7 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3) + 7 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 17

Jonterra moves over and attacks the owlbear.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Barley slashes!

katana,flank: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8, damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 2 + (3) = 13

Your knowledge of nature makes him familiar with Owlbears. This one is oddly colored and smaller than normal

ahem all things Arcane.

Klaidingo summons forth another spear and thrusts it at his feathered foe.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3+ bleed No variables for combat added or subtracted.

Looks as though they've got the blighter sorted. Chamius looks around for any sign of a followup attack while the defenders are occupied with the owlbear.

Perception check, if applicable: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

ahem all things Arcane.

Er... Yeah, that too. Stupid Owlbears.

Chamius, no sign of impending attack. You think the last attack with the two singing Tengu may have been a diversion to get the Owlbear close.

Raul injures the owlbear again, but it refuses to die.

Klaidingo hurls a spear, but misses, nearly hitting Barley, foiling the ninja's attack as well.

Jonterra rushes over to join the fight but his strike doesn't land strongly enough to do damage.

Roaring in pain and rage the owlbear continues attacking Raul, but can't find any gaps in his armor this time.

Claw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Claw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

PARTY UP!

Chamius moves closer to the fight, drumming a martial air that invigorates all hearing it. Round 6/7 inspire courage.

Raul swings with finality in hopes to end the beast.
big hit: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 1 = 20, damage: 2d6 + 7 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1, 2) + 7 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 15

add +2 for flanking and +1 atk/dmg for inspire

Barley grabs the katana with two hands and dives forward.

katana: 1d20 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 12 ;damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 12

Raul strikes a third time and runs the owlbear through with his greatsword.

Somewhere, Gorum is smiling.

In the aftermath of the onslaught, the village square stands nearly deserted, most of the villagers’ resolve having broken sometime during the owlbear's rampage. Many have retreated to their homes, though from the peripheries of the village still come the sounds of battle, villagers here and there driving off the few scattered bandits that made it through the broken barricade. The air is hazy with smoke and it is hard to tell where to go to next in order to aid the farmers.

There doesn't seem to be another immediate threat and you have a few rounds to heal or talk.

"Cut off its head! I think we can scare the rest of them off--guessing this was their big surprise."

"Rally the troops and spread healing. Help Kryssa hold the gate. I'll hold here!"
Raul orders, taking up position at the hole in the wall.

Jonterra nods and jogs back up to the barricade, keeping an eye out.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Kryssa looks around for someone to hit.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Raul advances to the gap and uses a charge of his wand on himself.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
