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

Game Master Kobash

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Jonterra eyes the aasimar with a hint of surprise. "Nicely done"

Oh yeah.

"Raul, have a go at fixing this up, hey? I'm no sailor, but I'm pretty sure the water's supposed to be on the other side of the hull, know what I mean?"

"The things I do..." Raul mutters as he begins to pray over the boat.

"I'll try not to get distracted again."

"Here, at least you two are pulling your weight. So far I'm being a glorified cheerleader and comic relief, hey?"

The Laughing Crow is soon pushed from the rocks and heading downriver again. Raul's prayers repair the damage suffered in the collision.

A few days later the Tuunma River empties into the Sea of Eels. The waters of the Sea are very different from those of the Tuunma River; since the large lake has no viable current, the Laughing Crow must rely on its sails and the wind to propel it along the water. Since there are virtually no obstacles that might impede the ship on its journey across the lake.

At the end of the first day of travel on the Sea of Eels Jonterra points out the glint of sails in the distance. Over the course of the day the sails draw closer.

On the morning of the second day, the light of dawn reveals a ship some six hundred feet to port and fast approaching. Its banner bears a single upthrust spear, and its golden sails sparkle in the morning sun.

The other ship is designed for speed and quickly approaches the Laughing Crow. You have 4 rounds (6 if you attempt to avoid them) to prepare yourselves before they pull alongside.

A few days later the Tuunma River empties into the Sea of Eels.

shrieking eels?

"Hurry up, move the thing! -And that other thing!", Barley runs round trying to help Klaidingo steer the ship.

raw assist: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Seeing that the only wind he adding was from wasted breaths, he pulls his kusarigama from the sash and readies for battle.

"Cor, that's a Lingshen banner! We might be in a bit of a spot--want to try to trade the chump for free passage?"

Knowledge (Local) check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Klaidingo casts mage armor on himself as they approach.

Kryssa holds her flail under the gunwales so that those on the other ship can't see she's ready if they're boarded.

Joterra produces his wand and has Klaidingo use it on him, then re-stows it. He then removes his sword and does a series of meditative exercises on the deck.

sounds like a sleight of hand vs opposed perception with range penalties

When the chasing ship pulls alongside, its crew members latch onto the Laughing Crow with grappling hooks and pull it close for boarding. Then, a woman and three soldiers swing across the gap.

"I am Xiao Wen," The woman calls out as she draws a curved sword. "I am captain of the Lingshen warship Hailong. We know who you are. Surrender or die!"

MAP UPDATED

Barley lashes out with the kusarigama.

10'reach: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 3 - 1 = 19

-Posted with Wayfinder

Jonterra attacks the soldier nearest him, unleashing a series of sword strikes.

Flurry: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Flurry: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Holy S#!T!!

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Crit Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Crit Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

That's it, I'm ruined. Probably roll single digits the rest of the scenario.

Kryssa's eyes burn with holy fire as she calls upon her heritage for strength. She makes an upswing at the soldier beside her.

Attack+R-PA: 1d20 + 4 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 - 1 = 6
Damage+R+PA: 1d10 + 4 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 3 + 3 = 16

well, it seems Jonterra stole my rolls ;)

well, it seems Jonterra stole my rolls ;)

Not to mention, the one beside you is probably pieces now.

Chamius steps back, clearing his throat theatrically. "You'd close the way before us, Wen/In the name of Grand Lingshen/But we will not be stopped again!" Inspire courage; everyone who acts after Chamius adds +1 to hit and to damage. Sorry, Barley.

Stole my rolls and my target, then. ;)

Well, Kryssa technically goes first in the initiative, so that miss is just setting up Jonterra to behead the guy, who takes even more damage because Chamius adds courage before Jonterra strikes. Regardless, I have a feeling this combat will end quickly.

Raul draws his sword on his way to dismember a guard.
power attack: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 1 = 18, damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 6) + 7 = 15

I'm not sure if Barley was trying to trip or injure with his attack, but it doesn't really matter with Jonterra's rolls.

Chamius begins a courageous speech. Barley's kusarigama whips out and trips one of the soldiers. Kryssa tries to capitalize on a superior position, but can't find an opening. But as the soldier is rolling away from her, he is summarily dispatched by two perfect slashes from Jonterra's sword. Raul takes down another with less finesse, but just as much finality.

Klaidingo is up!

Magic missle at the last one.

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The soldier grunts as Klaidingo's magic missile strikes him. Assuming a martial stance, he kicks and punches in return.

Flurry 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Flurry 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

And misses badly!

Xiao Wen raises her free hand in a complex gesture and casts a spell that sprays the deck of the ship with brilliant colors.

Color Spray. Raul, Jonterra, and Kryssa need to make Will Saves vs DC 13.

Xiao Wen has cover vs Raul so no AoO is available.

PARTY UP!

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Folio Reroll: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 2 = 18

Jonterra starts to succumb to the color, but then redoubles his will, girding himself.

Moving across the fallen men, Jonterra reaches out to grab Xiao Wen!

Grapple: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Told ya....low rolls...

Chamius maintains the inspiration and rushes up to the steering deck, sending his whip snaking out to try to take the last soldier's legs out from under him.

Trip attempt on soldier, incl. inspire courage: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 1 = 13

Will: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (10) - 2 = 8

will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Raul is amused at the colors, but less amused my Jonterra's fumbling. He hauls himself up and around the other side's stairs, finally making to the remaining soldier.

Klaidingo 5ft steps NE and casts shield via his arcane bond.

AC 23

Kryssa takes the spell with eyes wide and goes down.

unconscious, blinded, and stunned: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3 rounds
then blinded and stunned: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3 rounds
then stunned for 1 round.

Jonterra resists Xiao's spell and tries to grab her, but she throws him back.

Raul also resists the spell and circles around, scaling the stairs to the back deck near the final soldier.

Chamius sends out his whip a the last soldier but fails to trip him.

Klaidingo retreats and protects himself with a shield spell.

Barley's up!

Barley steps up behind Jontera and throws his chains at Xiao.

trip: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

-Posted with Wayfinder

Xiao kicks barley's chain away, avoiding his attempt to trip hm.

The remaining soldier jumps with a flying knee at Raul, following it up with a descending knife-hand chop. Both attacks fail to find soft targets.

Flurry 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Flurry 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Facing Jonterra from higher ground on the back deck, Xiao spins her sword and weaves her off-hand in another arcane gesture. Unfortunately, her weapon misses completely and the complex maneuver disrupts her spell.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Concentration Check vs DC 16: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

PARTY UP!

Grapple!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Jonterra reaches out as Xiao begins her complex movements and tries to grab her arm and get a firm grasp.

Raul shrugs off the blows to his heavy armor while arcing his large sword towards the soldier.
big hit!: 1d20 + 4 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 1 + 1 = 23, damage: 2d6 + 4 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6, 2) + 4 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 18
confirm!: 1d20 + 4 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 4 - 1 + 1 = 18, damage: 2d6 + 4 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3, 5) + 4 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 18

Kryssa battles turtles and tries to rescue princesses... but the princess is always in a different castle.

Jonterra grapples Xiao, wrapping her up in a martial grip.

The last soldier loses his head to Raul's greatsword, spraying blood in a fountain all over the aft section of the boat.

Kryssa snoozes.

Barley, Klaidingo, and Chamius are up!

Chamius tries to cross over to the other ship. Are there any crew members there?

Chamius, jumping to the other ship requires a DC 10 acrobatics check. The ship seems to be crewed by non-combatant sailors.

In that case.... Chamius gives the crew a merry wave and starts to cut the boarding lines.

Cast daze on Xiao dc 14

Barley continues to swing through with the kusarigama.
Trip: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 1 = 15

Chamius starts cutting the ship free.

Barley's chain takes Xiao's feet out from under her and Klaidingo's spell leaves her dazed.

Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

PARTY UP!

Maintain Grapple to Pin: 1d20 + 5 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 5 = 21

As Xiao loses her footing, Jonterra goes with her, getting his legs around hers and pinning her.

And Xiao is pinned!

With no one to help her you have a round to decide her fate. Combat is over. You can kill her, knock her out, or tie her up without a problem. Meanwhile, Chamius cuts the grapples and you ship is free to sail on.

Raul plants his sword on the deck in front of him where she can see.
"It's time to surrender." he says as the blood drips down the groove in the center of his blade, with a nonchalant kick at the rolling head of the soldier.
Intimidate: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (17) - 2 = 15

EDIT: ninja'd. I vote tie her up with the bureaucrat.

"You won't be harmed, if you do."

Dazed, Xiao mumbles a half-coherent response in Tien.

Jonterra translates. "She will not surrender. Get some rope." As he lays on her like a boulder, he begins to constrict his limbs around her.

Suggest we tie her up and subdue her with nonlethal.
