DaWay's PFS RotRL Thistletop (Inactive)

Game Master DaWay

Kelvor holds up his fist, then draws both of his blades, ready to follow Omrax in.

With the go sign from the others, Omrax opens the western door and moves into the room to engage any goblins he finds.

This large throne room is decorated with hanging furs along its walls, mostly black-and-red striped firepelt skins, various dog pelts, and in some cases, what look like horse hides. Four square timbers support the ceiling, their faces studded with dozens of iron spikes, with the lower reaches decorated with dozens of impaled and severed hands in various stages of decay. To the northeast, a wooden platform supports a throne heaped with dog pelts and horse hides. Dog skulls adorn the armrests and a horse skull leers over the throne’s back.

actions and initiatives please
there is a total of 5 goblins and a giant gecko in the room

init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Omrax will engage any shaman or leader types he sees as he enters the room.

Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

"Alas, your days of raiding innocent settlements are over!"

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Farouq 23, Kelvor 22, Gobos 21, omrax 15, Gaz 13, ezren 7

Farouq and Adjo, Kelvor post your actions please.

Farouq moves and transforms, Adjo moves and attacks.

Attack Bite 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

confirm possible crit:
Attack Bite 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Kelvor attacks mercilessly, moving forward to either the leader (if recognizable) of the nearest goblin. He makes a special effort to move into a flanking position with either Farouq or his lion, Adjo.

longsword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 dmg: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

DaWay: Kelvor gets some add'l damage from flanking (not sneak, but +1 from Dirty Fighter), but it is hard to position for a flank when the map is not being used. I never know when I can move to flank, as I'm not certain the map is up to date or reflects reality. Shall I leave that to you to manage, including when to add my extra dmg?

damn, post eaten. This is why my posts have gotten short. I apologize. I write four paragraphs depicting all your actions in delicate thought out prose only to get sacrificed to the interwebs.

Kelvor, when the battle is bigger I will update.

Adjo kills one, Kelvor kills one.

Two attack kelvor,
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20 1d4 ⇒ 2
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

As the leader attacks Farouq on his giant gecko
1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 2 = 32 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 + 2 = 22 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 3) + 1 = 7

crit confirm on Farouq
1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 2 = 25 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

The goblin squeals, Aiaiai, I am the mighty Ripnugget, you will feed my troops for months, the rest will be sacrificed to Lamashtu

Seeing his friend Farouq take a mighty blow, Omrax will pull a wand from his wrist sheath and tap Farouq to heal him.

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 healing on Farouq

To Farouq..."Hopefully, that helps, Sir Farouq. Shift when you can so we can all enter and take down this goblinoid and the lizard he rides.

To Ripnugget...

"You will surely pay for your transgressions, goblin! And double for striking my friends!"

Kelvor cries out in pain, "Ahh! Damn you, greenskins. My derhk-skil and kris will taste your blood and end you!"

While he is shouting at the two goblins who attacked him, he nevertheless steps carefully behind Ripnugget and swings both of his blades at the goblin chief.

The blades whistle as they cleave the air, before striking the black-hearted creature.

Longsword: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 2 = 22 Dmg: 1d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 = 15
Shortsword: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16 Dmg: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

This position is flanking with Farouq. So I added my Dirty Fighter damage. If Farouq moves, Kelvor strikes anyway.

Status: 36/42HP

Ezren casts Glitterdust into the eyes of the "ripnugget"

(dc 16)

Take that you ugly beast! You look fabulous now!

Farouq nods to Omrax, "thanks, oh, yes."
Then goes savage.

Attack Bite 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 Damage 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Attack Claw 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 Damage 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Attack Claw 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 Damage 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

then both shift

confirm possible crit:
Attack Claw 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 Damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Gaz will come into the room and let a crossbow fly at the most threatening looking goblin.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 1 - 4 = 16 Minus 4 for shooting into melee if applicable
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Round 2

Gaz will drop the crossbow, pull out his mace and move to flank a goblin to attack.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Sneak Attack: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6 If flanking

ripnugget will 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
stickfoot will 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Omrax heals Farouq.
Kelovor's Longsword connects with the warchief his shortsword falls short.(15 damage)
Ezren casts glitterdust.
Adjo attacks the warchief as well landing a visious claw, other attacks miss. (27 damage)
Gaz finishes a goblin.

The warchief swings wildly, blinded 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 1d100 ⇒ 94 landing a blows on Adjo 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

the last of the goblins attacks Gaz 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Kelvor attacks again, slicing into Warchief Ripnugget!

Longsword: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 = 19 Dmg: 1d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12
Shortsword: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28 Dmg: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7
Short Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 = 15 Crit dmg: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9

This assumes Omrax or another is flanking with me. So I added my Dirty Fighter damage.

Status: 36/42HP

Round 2 action

Prior to Kelvor's third attack (above), Omrax draw sword as he moves and will attack Ripnugget, providing flanking to Kelvor (as he stated).

sword, flank: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 = 24 for dmg: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 vs blinded Ripnugget

Adjo shifts (flanking with Omrax and goes for the goblin, Farouq for the leader.

Adjo:
Bite 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Claw 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 Damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Claw 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 Damage 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Farouq:
Bite 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 Damage 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Claw 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 Damage 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Claw 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 Damage 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

And Farouq shifts left, so the last one can come in now.

and with a rain of steel and claws and teeth the last of the goblins goes down. All that is left in the room is the giant gecko ripnugget was riding.

Omrax will swing at the lizard.

longsword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 damage : 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Kelvor sighs as the goblin chief and his henchmen go down. He stares at the bloody swords and looks at the gecko.

If it attacks or acts threatening, Kelvor protects himself:

Longsword: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 = 19 Dmg: 1d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8
Shortsword: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9 Miss.

This assumes Omrax or another is flanking with me. So I added my Dirty Fighter damage.

Status: 36/42HP

Adjo moves and attacks, Farouq stays and continues to go savage.

Adjo
Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Farouq:
Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

and with telling blows your end the gecko's life.

"Strong work team. While this appeared to be a leader of sorts, he did not seem to be smart enough to lead this entire fortress. I think we need to look around for captives or others behind this green menace."

Omrax will search around the room for other doors, keys, documents that might help guide their quest.

Farouq will search too.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Gaz joins in on the search.

Take 20 = 29

is ripnugget alive or dead?

if alive, magic missile

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Kelvor cleans his blades, kisses their crossguards, and slides them back into their sheathes.

"Fellows, a shaman of the Shoan-Quah Borhgreth tribe once told me something while training me in how to treat a festering wound. 'The infection source is often at the deepest part of the wound. Deaden the pain if you can and dig deep to find the problem.'"

Kelvor straightens his cloak and pulls his hood up. From within the darkened cowl, he says, "I feel we have have deadened enough here. Let us go deeper, companions. Deeper."

He begins seeking a for stairs or passages that lead down. He opens doors, check for trapdoors, anything.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 14

you find a potion of barkskin +2, potions of cure moderate wounds 2, MW breastplate, +1 short sword, a dented crown, key ring, potion of cure light wounds, wand of silent image (5 charges), studded leather, short sword, shortbow with 20 arrows, whip and 20 gp.

Gathering up the the gear with the others while continuing to look for stairs or trap doors down. Omrax checks the side doors to the east...

grabs the wand and takes up a position in the middle of the room

Are the short sword and armor size small?

Omrax opens the side door to the east...

yes, they are small sized.

This room contains a small armory of crudely
made weapons (mostly dogslicers and shortbows)
and several small goblin-sized suits of studded
leather armor and dented shields. To the south
stand a pair of workbenches.

Farouk has a look around.
perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

"Sir Gazmold, that sword looks more your size and might be handy in a fight. Definitely not of goblin make...not like this room of junk."

Omrax does a quick sweep of the weapons room. Since there is not a connecting door, Omrax will move around back to the hallway and check the other eastern room just to be sure we have not missed anything.

Gaz tries out the sword and nods "Yeah this feels pretty good I'll try it out."

moves a little into the center of the room

I think we should look towards the areas nearest our entry and make sure none of these devious bitters will be between us and our only escape.

"Good plan, Sir Ezren. I do not trust them not to ambush us . "

So through the set of double doors that lies to the south of your position now?

Omrax was checking the room to the east first

(from the hall prior to the fight with Ripnugget),

If nothing of interest is there...he will move to the other double doors on the south wall of the large room.

Farouq heals Adjo and himself, then follows.

Adjo
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Farouq
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Kelvor seeks out Sir Omrax. "Sir Omrax, if you do not plan on it, I will take the potion to boost my own defensive capabilities. If you already had a plan for it, that is fine, of course."

there was nothing of note, except a MW dogslicer. The double doors are just a hallway. Nothing of note there either.

Omrax returns from the small room with the mw slicer...shows to the others to see if any are interested.

"Sir Kelvor, please make good use of the potion. . "

He looks into the double door hallway...

"Sir Ezren . Think we need to check any of the rooms in the front hall or try the back door to this large chamber? "
