DaWay's PFS The Dalsine Affair (Inactive)

Game Master DaWay

On her next turn...

Blast! That creature's hardier than it looks.

Seeing that Fung has been severely wounded, she'll run up to touch him with a cure light wounds from the wand (staying out of combat range tho)

1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

@Brizza unfortunately you won't be able to stay out of combat range due to the spider being large and Fung having to close in you are still in reach. Also, can you postpone posting for the next turn until I move us forward.

Can someone give me a hand and burn that thing off me? grumble Al Suresh

How far back is Al Suresh from me? Can I get to him with a 5' step?

All is about 15' back

Al Suresh, if you can get up to me, I can help!

Is the web anchored to anything?

Entangled: The character is ensnared. Being entangled impedes movement, but does not entirely prevent it unless the bonds are anchored to an immobile object or tethered by an opposing force. An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) or lose the spell.

tethered by an opposing force, i.e. the spider.

But then there shouldn't be a problem moving toward the spider, correct?

Sarion advances on the Spider fearlessly, his scimitar glinting in the light of Brizza's magic. He slashes at the arachnid's spinnerets.

Scimitar, Power Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Damage 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Brizza is mostly worried about the severe damage to Fung. So she'll go ahead in her first action and cast the cure light on him (for 5hp).

She'll risk the attack of opportunity. With mage armor her ac is 19.

~~~

I wish I could cast burning hands, hurt the blasted creature and maybe free Al Suresh-- but everyone's packed in there so closely I'd do more harm than good.

In the second round, she'll step 5' back and begin singing an inspiring song. Inspire Courage (+1 to hit, +1 to damage)

Round 2 - hp 13/22 (hopefully); AC 17

Fung steps back swinging his arms in an arc to fend off incoming strikes from the spider. Possibly drawing an attack of opportunity. Shuffling next to Al Suresh, he grabs a handful of webbing and focuses his ki wreathing his hand in flame to burn/tear Al Suresh free.

Since you didn't withdraw and had an action to free Al Suresh, which he is now, You will be triggering an AoO

AoO on Fung
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 plus poison

Fung feels the poison coursing through his veins causing him to lose focus for a few seconds as it worms its way to his heart's blood.

Round 2/6 failed
1d3 ⇒ 3 Con damage

post round 3 with your next action please

The spider (9 damage) sees it's attackers gaining numbers and lashes out at one of the companions

1-Fung, 2-Shel, 3-Brizza, 4-Sarion
1d4 ⇒ 4

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 plus poison (make those saves every round for 6 rounds)

Confirm
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

EDIT: The AoO would have been on Brizza, but it was a 1 so it really doesn't matter.

Man this is one of the most deadly encounters I have run. I really don't want to TPK you guys, but this poison is nasty! Three or four really good hits should kill this guy.

Do I need to make another save for round 3?

Round 3 - 3 Con damage (Temp Con 10); Current hp 10/19; AC 23

Striking a defensive stance, Fung runs and slides past the spider to get into flanking position with his comrades.

Full defense, and move into flanking position.

Yes, it courses through your veins for 6 rounds or until you make 2 consecutive saves.

The guy that wrote this should be tar and feathered! :p

Fortitude: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Wow. Really?

Ugh, so much for tanking...

The Spider lunges at Sarion's throat and no amount of shiny armor will protect him from the fangs of the beast. The black daggers pierce his neck guard and blood and venom gush forth. He staggers under the thing's weight.

Fort Save 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Bloody hell

Poison overcomes him, but a glimmer of defiance remains in him. Something gurgles in his throat and he rams the blade upwards at the Black Widow's belly.

Scimitar, Power Attack, Lay on hands as a Swift action 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Damage 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Lay on Hands 1d6 ⇒ 1

Round 3

With everyone all bunched together, I can't use any of my AoE spells, any my ranged spells are just as likely to hit one of them. This is so frustrating!

Another 5' step back. Continuing to sing an Inspiring Song (+1 hit/+1 damage for everybody)

It's not much, but at least I won't hurt one of you guys! Wand of Magic Missile

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Fung Con: 1d3 ⇒ 3 Round 3/6
Sarion Con: 1d3 ⇒ 3 Round 1/6

Spider (22 damage)

Shel, Al Suresh ... you're up.

Current Con 7; hp 6/13

EDIT: At this rate, I am not going to last 3 more rounds.

how far am i from the spider?

You are still 15' from the spider.

Yeah, Giant Black Widow Spiders are no joke. This is a CR4 encounter.

Round 2

Cast shield Move up to spider incurring an Aoo if she still has one left

If you need to retreat from combat because you're hurt now is the time. Don't take unnecessary risk

Current AC 25

Round 3 redux: Once Al Suresh steps up, Fung withdraws, once far enough away, begins tending his poisoned wound.

Heal: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

If successful Fortitude: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 4 = 14, if not, then the total is 4 less.

fung using the heal skill replace you having to roll the fort save as you can take that instead. so you can use your DC20 heal check as the result of your fort save.

Sorry, Al Suresh, not to correct you, but look at the PRD. You make the Heal check, and you then get a +4 bonus on your next Fort save. I double checked before I did it.

EDIT: Could it be that was how 3.5 did it?

you are correct i was reviewing the wrong book as i am dming currently a 3.5 campaign :)

No worries! Just want to make sure that I am doing it right! ^_^

Current Con: 9, Current HP 7
Bloody Black Widow almost killed another of my characters

Shel moves to flank with an opponent and swings away, sensing the dire situation.

Attack 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 19

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

(Spider 28 damage)

1-Fung, 2- Sarion, 3-Brizza, 4-Shel, 5-Al Suresh
1d5 ⇒ 5

Seeing it's avenues have been cut off the spider lashes out at it's former entangled foe, hoping that the webs impede the movement.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 plus poison.

Fung Con 4/6 1d3 ⇒ 1
Sarion Con if save vs. DC 17 fail 2/6 1d3 ⇒ 2

lucky for you all it went after me :)

Thanks Al! Yer a life saver! :p

Current Con 6; hp 6/13

Round 5 - Heal check: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

If DC is high enough, Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 4 = 18

EDIT: That is just sickening.

see Fung with the help of heal check you made your save

oh DM i am a bit lost so just tell me when its my round 3 action.the spider look badly hurt or not so much?

Didn't GM say it was DC 17? I'm so lost...

I did say it was 17. Go ahead and post your round 3, Al. And the spider looks like its on it's last legs ... pun intended.

one magus round coming up... now where did i put that book weapon of mine ;)

Round 3

Spell combat (Shocking grasp) + Arcane strike (Swift)

Dm you get an Aoo as i am not casting the spell on the defense.

Shocking Spellstrike Scimitar: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 251d6 + 5 + 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 + (4, 4, 1, 6) + 4 = 25

one order of deep fried spider legs coming up Fung-kun. It's toasted to your taste.

Crit Conf: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 81d6 + 5 + 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 5 + (5, 6, 3, 1) + 4 = 30

Scimitar: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 181d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Dm add +2 to Hit if flanking. Current AC 25

And that finishes the spider.

Lets get the rest of those saves rolled and any intervening actions taken care of.

Al will use a wand of CLW to prevent anyone dying from poison (that it is really needed he can UMD but he isn't that good. He will use also 2 pearls of power to recover the spells used.

Pff fung-kun its the second mission we do together you should know better then to waltz in combat when i am not in it. ok you'll survive this. it will make you stronger. good job everyone.

Once everyone is healed, at close to healed, Shel will again take the point with the Blossoms who knew the direction, scanning for traps.

Perc 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Now that combat is finished...

Take 10 on Heal, gives me a 20. I have used up two uses of my healer's kit thus far, do not need to continue using it up (thus Heal is +10 instead of +12 without it.)

Round 5 Fortitude: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 4 = 16

Round 6 Fortitude: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 2 + 4 = 25

Pirius, the Dawnflower is well-known for her healing touch, do any of you share that skill? My friend Sarion could use some help... Fung Xi looks pale, sweat creating a sheen on his face. Looking closely, anyone can notice his hands shake as he tries to tend to his wounds.

With a mixture of a chuckle and cough, the monk responds to Al Suresh, I felt that the spider should feast on a chubby monk rather than a Blossom. Wouldn't you think the same? Besides looked like you were a little tied up at the moment...

As he laughs at his own pun, Fung's laughter soon turns to a fit of body wracking coughs, a spatter of blood on his sleeve remaining on his sleeve after he covers his mouth...

EDIT: Looks like I take one more round of damage. Current Con 6.

My skills are limited to the happy stick in that regards fung-kun. Gomenasai.

Do not worry, my friend, as you said, I will survive this, Fung uses the wall to help pull himself up.

As the webbing gets thicker and thicker, Fung concentrates and his hand again ignites in flame as he sees if the webbing will catch fire, causing a chain reaction and quickly burning out through the entire corridor...

He said, hopefully... ^_^

Fluff later today but mechanics for now due to me being at work on my phone

Fung con damage
1d3 ⇒ 1

Once Combat is finished, Brizza will heal everyone to full. Fung with Fung's CLW wand. And Al with his own wand. No UMD for Brizza if you'd like to let her. I'll start with 2 each. Let me know if its enough.

Fung:
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Al Suresh:
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

And can I borrow somebody's wand to help Sarion?
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Go ahead and use Fung's wand for everyone. That's why I bought it. ^_^

Current: Con 5; hp 13/13

Fung moves over to Sarion to tend his poisoned wound.

Heal, taking 10 is 20 so Sarion, for your subsequent Fort Saves for Poison you gain +4 to the check.

And for the record, Fung will be covered in Mage Armor until we reach the vault.

The first one will be my spell-- lasts 3 hours, and hourly with your wand thereafter.

Thanks Brizza. Fung says with a sheepish grin... I've never been this bad before.
