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

Game Master Kobash

Chamius shouts in Tien, "The demon is slain! Come! We have only to hold a little longer!"

Perhaps Kryssa can intimidate them into compliance.

In the lull, Barley climbs the nearest hut to check the horizon.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

and takes out a cart on the way down...

tries again: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Kryssa looks back hoping to see the villagers watching the flanks, but instead sees only her comrades.

Furious, she yells in horribly broken Tien, "Homes get out of! Myself beat you... octopus side guard!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

"Homes get out of! Myself beat you... octopus side guard!"

Ahhaahaa awesome, e.g. sync issues

Though the villagers shy from Kryssa's incoherent threats, most listen to Chamius, and a few give cheers as they look upon the dead owlbear.

Then, suddenly, a bloodthirsty screech comes from the north, followed by the sound of riders approaching. Emerging from the night comes another group of bandits, this time led by what surely must be the leader of the Thundering Eclipse.

Perched on the back of an armored axe beak rides an imposing tengu clad in steel, his feathers dyed crimson where they show through his armor.

They charge towards the village along the road, but veer around to the west, heading towards the breach in the barricade. Having regained some morale, the village archers loose arrows but the bandits raise shields defensively against them.

Everyone can take a round to move or perform other actions before the leader rounds the village and nears the western barricade. I'm not going to roll initiative here, we're just going back and forth.

MAP UPDATED

Shivering a bit, Chamius moves up and looses an arrow at the avian mount.

Arrow to axe beak, including point expenditure (7/9 left): 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 1 = 15
Damage, if applicable: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Raul readies an attack at the first enemy to get in range.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Like Chamius, everyone keep in mind you have Defense Points to use!

Jonterra calls to Raul and moves to the breach, waiting for the leader.

Barkley moves behind the partition next to Jonterra.

Kryssa tries climbing the wall to get to the battle.

acrobatics: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (14) - 1 = 13
acrobatics: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

As the group moves into position, Chamius fires an arrow at the leader's mount, but it lodges harmless into a piece of armor the giant bird wears.

Will give Klaidingo a little longer before moving on.

Klaidingo will summon another wood shaft and hold until something breaks the breech.

The bandits round the northwestern corner of the village and pass among some trees. Villagers fire arrows and one of the tengu falls from his horse, but the rest continue on with determination. At the front the bandit reigns his strange mount to a halt just before the barricade. There he raises his sword and spins it in an impressive display of skill.

“我Kwankhonu！年来，我曾突击搜查Shokuro的土地，把我的应收可怜的农民太弱为自己辩护。燕子筑巢的村民，今天你已经表明荣誉。现在准备自己去 死吧！”

Dazzling Display: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Though some of you do not understand his words, his presence is intimidating nonetheless.

Barley, Jonterra, and Raul are all shaken for 2 rounds. –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

PARTY UP!

Raul, I placed you on the map at the barricade. Please look and let me know if you want to adjust your position.

I had intended to be *in* the gap, but I'll 5-foot back after this turn to be where you put me, so it's fine.

Raul decides that showing off is begging for a dagger.
draw & throw before shifting back
dagger @ leader: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 3 - 4 = 7, damage : 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Chamius closes up to stand behind Raul before casting a spell. Casting grease, as shown on the map.

"Whoa, that's a big bird..."

"赴く 毟る 自分自身を!", Barley shouts back and readies a trailing charge behind Raul, should he advance.

Raul, you can be in the gap if you wish. My placement was a guess.

No, I'm fine there. I'd have stepped back anyway.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Kryssa races to help hold the line.

Double-move got me _exactly_ to the line

Jonterra readies himself to attack if the leader makes it across the grease.

Readied Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Raul's dagger spins far over the tengu's head, landing somewhere off in the darkness.

Kwankhonu glares at him, then considers the greased earth before him. Pointing at Raul, he calls out a challenge. "在我的荣誉，我会打败你！" Then spurs his mount. "Jikon, 飞跃，攻击！" The axe beak leaps the area and lands in the breach.

A little poetic license there. The axe beak just made the acrobatics check to cross the grease.
Ride: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Axe Beak Acrobatics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Jonterra throws a punch, but misses completely.

The axe beak then snaps at Kryssa, giving her a serious wound.

The bandit leader swings his katana at Raul. Sparks fly as his weapon slams down on the battle cleric, but through the divine power of Gorum it fails to penetrate his shielded armor.

8 damage to Kryssa
Raul, AC is still currently 22, right?

Axe Beak Bite on Kryssa: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Kwankhonu attack on Raul: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

The other riders converge on the barricade, but with their leader blocking the only entrance, they mill about in confusion. Suddenly, from the trees to the south Gurau and a unit of spearmen charge forth into their flank! With her shining axe and nearly a dozen spears, the attack decimates the riders, killing one and injuring others.

I'll bet you thought I forgot about her, huh?

PARTY UP!

Yes, my AC is still 22, and no, I hadn't forgotten about her. I only forgot about my defense points. Time to use some.
I will have my + to Str, Con, and AC until about round 27, so I should pretty much have them until the end as I see it. Let me know if that's wrong.

Raul responds to the dangerous assault with a strike of his own.
Bit Hit (+3 points): 1d20 + 9 - 1 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 9 - 1 - 2 + 3 = 14, Damage: 2d6 + 7 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1, 6) + 7 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 19

You guys are about round 18, and I don't see this lasting another 8 or 9 rounds. Unless you keep rolling like that.

What a majestic creature.

Klaidingo summons forth another spear and flings it towards the axebeak with a heavy heart.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 + bleed

His heart just was not in the attack.

The bard cracks his whip, sending it at the leader in an attempt to entangle his weapon.

Disarm attempt on leader, incl. point expenditure (6/9 left): 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 20

Kryssa channels her angelic blood and lets its magic infuse her muscles. She swings the head of her heavy flail on its chain in a small circle before using its momentum in a huge attack...

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Damage: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

... which apparently misses.

Chamius, I'm seeing a +2 on your disarm roll that is unaccounted for. What's that from?

A whip is a disarm weapon, which is a property that still adds a +2 bonus to the maneuver I believe.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I don't think they add +2 anymore.

You're probably thinking of trip weapons. Disarm is still +2 according to ultimate equipment (+4 for swordbreaker dagger).

-Posted with Wayfinder

You are right, I was looking at trip for some reason.

Klaidingo hurls his spear, sending it flying after Raul's dagger.

Raul and Kryssa attack, but neither is able to injure Kwankhonu.

Chamius sends out his whip and pulls the tengu leader's weapon from his grasp!

Jonterra and Barley are up!

I'd checked that in the PRD just this morning, otherwise I wouldn't have known.

Oh, and BOO YAH! In your FACE, tengu leader dude! Now can the rest of you punish him severely with AoOs when he picks up his katana?

Being mounted and facing multiple enemies, he's not likely going to dismount and retrieve it. Designers really need to give some of these BBGs backup weapons. This guy really should have a wakizashi. So... Shield bash time!

Hey, that works too.

Pointing at Raul, he calls out a challenge. "在我的荣誉，我会打败你！" Then spurs his mount. "Jikon, 飞跃，攻击！"

"He just said Gorum wears a dress!", Barley tries to cheer Rual on, as he attempts a maneuver to get around the barricade.

acro or climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Jonterra rushes the leader and jumps to grab the tengu.

Grapple!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Well heck, you guys don't even need me here. Only thing missing is for Kladingo to slit his throat and Kryssa to Great Cleave the rest of the bandits.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Barley climbs the barricade and jumps down on the far side.

Jonterra moves in and wrestles the disarmed Tengu leader from his mount.

The axe beak snaps again at Kryssa, but she dodges away.

Kwankhonu tries to break free but fails against Jonterra's superior unarmed skills.

Axe beak on Kryssa: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Kwankhonu CMB to break grapple: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Gurau and her unit of spearmen push back the other bandits, quickly defeating or driving them off.

Don't worry about the other bandits outside. Gurau and her spearmen are taking them out.

PARTY UP!

Jonterra tries to keep a hold of the tengu and pin him!

Grapple to Pin!: 1d20 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 5 = 10

Folio Reroll: 1d20 + 3 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 5 + 3 = 20

Barley rolls to the rear feathers and slashes.

tumble: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 18

katana,+1DefPt,flank: 1d20 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 12damage,+1DefPt,sneak: 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 + 1 + (1) = 10

Barley's in the grease area. I'm assuming that tumble was to keep his feet? You'll need another to avoid the Axe beak's threatened area.

sliding in for the kill,+1DP: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 30

Right under the eggs!

And a 9.8 from the Tien judge.

Can I Aid Another to help Jonterra grapple? If so...
grapple assist: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Kryssa tries for another attack against the rider...
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Damage: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
...but is interrupted as she dodges out of the way of the axebeak's attack. She spits out a curse and a new bird becomes her next target.

Klaidingo stares at the grappled Tengu, and looks into his soul.

SLA Deathwatch

Chamius switches weapons and steps up.
