DaWay's PFS The Dalsine Affair (Inactive)

Game Master DaWay

Ooh, Brizza! >.<

Whoa, ugly! Fung laughs, a hint of fear quivering in his voice, What is he?

Wow, now that is an interesting turn of events says Al Suresh.

Cast Shield, move 30ft to be in melee combat, draws weapon while moving.

this would be our round 1?

I know, right? And you're a monk and all. O.o

Brizza tries to remember tales she's heard about such hideous creatures:

Knowledge Check: 1d20 ⇒ 17
(to save time, would it work just to add the bonus that's appropriate?)
Arcana +6
Dungeoneering +6
Nature +6
Planes +6
Religion +6

Shel readies her action to attack if the monster approaches her.

Brizza, I'm much more worldly than you'd think! ;p As for the check, I'd assume planes based on what he looks like...

GM, how big is this room? Can I move to the far side to move into flanking without drawing an AoO? (40' ft move)

If possible, Fung moves to the direct opposite side, cutting off any thoughts of escape, while staying as defensive as possible (Full Defense: AC -> 26).

If not, Fung moves to the left side, so that someone could move into flank on his right, doing the same. (Full Defense: AC -> 26)

Sarion raises his shield and charges. "Dawnflower's light!" he shouts, his Scimitar slashing down at the creature.

Charge, Smite, Power Attack 1d20 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 4 - 1 = 19
Damage 1d6 + 3 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 3 + 2 = 13
Current AC vs Akkuret: 28

Nice! Love having a Paladin at our side, and how appropriate that it is one of the Dawnflower faithful as well! :)

I am taking the actions you posted before when you rolled your initiatives to be round 1 so this will be round 2.

Brizza he is a Faceless Stalker.

No Fung will incur an AoO due to reach.
AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

The paladin charges and slams into the faceless stalker (13 damage) but Akkuret retaliates.
scimitar: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
slam: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 plus grab.

Ok.. good thing I went Full Defense. I didn't realize that he grew that big. Got it! :) Hopefully that allows Al Suresh to move in without provoking.

He is still Medium sized, he just as reach due to strange anatomy

After identifying the aberration in Round 1, Brizza will exclaim to the group: Ugh! It's an Uboleth! Nasty. They're supposed to be resistant to piercing and slashing weapons(DR5), and they weaken you by drinking your blood.

What in the heavens is it doing here with the blossoms?

Brizza should still have a standard action in Round 1, so she'll start singing to inspire courage.

+1 to hit, +1 to damage for everyone

~~~

With her round 2 action she'll use magic missile on it, and continue singing.

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Oh, cool. :p

EDIT: That sounds odd, did it say DR 5/slashing or piercing, or did it say DR 5/bludgeoning? The stuff after the / is what bypasses the DR. ^_^

You're right its DR5/slashing and piercing. Yeah, and the blood drinking Con damage is just what Fung was hoping for!

Of course! :p Hating the guy that wrote this even more! >.< Ha ha ha!

Round 2

Spell Combat: Shocking grasp not casting on defensively so take an Aoo, Arcane Strike (swift)

Spell strike Shocking grasp Scimitar : 1d20 + 7 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 2 + 1 = 251d6 + 5 + 1 + 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 + (6, 4, 3, 6) + 4 = 33 Please add +3 to hit if the scimitar is made of metal

Concentration vs Aoo: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 just in case i need to make a roll in case he hits me while i am casting the spell

oh possible crit Nice !

Crit Conf: 1d20 + 7 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 - 2 + 1 = 201d6 + 5 + 1 + 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 + (2, 5, 3, 2) + 4 = 23 Please add +3 to hit if the scimitar is made of metal

Scimitar : 1d20 + 7 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 - 2 + 1 = 111d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 = 11

Current AC 25

Dam you, Vengence for the person you replaced !

Al Suresh, I thought it was only +3 to hit if it was wearing metal armor?

Round 2:

If the creature is still alive after the others have their way it, Fung harries it, poking it and whatnot still staying defensive, [b]Ooh, spongey![b]

Aid Another +2 to Attack for Sarion (if flanking with Al Suresh) or +2 attack for Al Suresh (if flanking with Sarion).

Aid Another (Defensively): 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 5 - 4 = 19

EDIT: AC -> 23

@Al Suresh- just double-checking if you're adding in the +1 to hit, +1 to damage from Inspire Courage.

oops nope i did not. i'll edit my post with it :)

And with a swift strike, Akkuret, or rather the creature that replaced Akkuret is set to the ground a burned husk of what he once was.

END OF COMBAT

Whew, the monk looks around at his friends, then rushes out into the adjacent room to see if the Blossoms are safe, or if his suspicions of an ambush are true...

Al Suresh will use his last pearl to recover a shield spell

Is everyone alright? Does anyone need healing?

I think we are all fine Brizza.

Battle at Al Suresh's side often end in explosions filled with bits and pieces of enemy. Fung says, half joking as he heads to check on the rest of the Dawnflower Blossoms.

EDIT: Ha ha, perhaps I could use a bath!

"the question is, was that Akkuret, or did that monster replace him somehow?"

Perhaps we can glean the answer by speaking with Piria.

The Dawnflower Blossoms are quite upset, knowing that their entire organization has been compromised. They thank you once again and inform you that they are no longer safe here and that they will hire a ship this evening and flee the city. They decline any further help, stating that you have already done enough.

Sense motive 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19

as they get themselves ready to leave AL suresh notice something wrong with one of them. He makes a head motion to Fung to follow him.

you seemed to be troubled young miss is there something we could do to help you?

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Fung Xi nods, and moves to Piria, Piria, the young lady named Charito, I think, seems to be hiding something. How would you like us to proceed?

Piria turns to Fung and says It looks like Mister Suresh as they situation firmly in hand. I hope that I do not have to remind him that one of the tenants of my faith is redemption.

Upon being confronted Charito breaks down in tears and falls to her knees, begging she says. Don't kill me. Please, don't kill me. I know who Chalfon Dalsine is, I haven't mentioned anything before because I was afraid. I was afraid that I wouldn't be accepted into the Blossoms. I knew nothing of the attack or whatever that thing is. pointing to the body of the Faceless Stalker. I worked for him as a chambermaid for a woman who was having an affair with Chalfon last year. Confirming everything you heard earlier I will show you where his Senate's Hill Manor home is located.

Taking the woman by the shoulder, tries to comfort her with a soothing voiceThere, there Charito, no one is going to kill you right this second. I am utterly convinced that you had nothing to do with that thing. There there keeps patting her you will be ok, everyone makes mistakes. And about the Blossoms well i am sure something can be worked out, after all you only worked for someone involved with him. Its nothing big or to be ashamed off.

Made a sense motive post earlier that got eaten. :P Luckily Fung and Al got it! Fung, you can't make a Fort save to well, save your life, but sense motives? Bamm! You're all over it. :D

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

They are right. No one wants to hurt you. But you do have to be honest and make sure you've told us everything you know about possible danger to the Blossoms

Smooth move Al! :p "No one is going to kill you right this second! I broke out laughing when I read that!" X-D

Brizza, I don't know why I rolled, I couldn't fail that DC! ^_^

Whoa, Al Suresh, what did you do? Fung breaks out in a laugh, but becomes somber when he sees how torn up the girl is. The Dawnflower gives you a second chance, as long as you understand what you did wrong. You have already taken a step towards rectifying that situation.

The monk gives her a big genuine smile, Cheer up! We are going to get you out of here!

Fung looks to Al Suresh, You know, we do have a ship waiting for a passenger, they will just have to take a few more! I'm sure that our friend won't mind.

That is the reason why i always carry a sap :)

Sarion takes care to remove Akkuret's corpse from the temple and he says a prayer over his blade before cleaning it of the Aberration's filth. "I wish you all safe journeys. May Sarenrae's light watch over you all." he says.

"If we know where this Dalsine is, we must put an end to his threat." the Tiefling says, retrieving his helm and putting it on.

Dalsine Manor is a modern, two-story structure set back from the main road and surrounded by a twelve-foot brick wall. Its main gate is shut and guarded, but through it can be seen a well-kept garden surrounding the house. A carriage covered in gold filigree and inset with gems stands parked inside the gate, while another, constructed of modest wood with drawn shades, waits just outside the gate.

How close can we get to the carriage outside the gate? Do we have enough cover to sneak up and look inside? Is it still nighttime?

YOu can get as close as you want. Not much you are on the street in a wealthier district. Yes.

Moments later a second carriage arrives, out of this one you see the taldor venture-captain get out off the carriage and both sets seem to be arguing about the entry of the other. One thing is clear you need to gain entry to get the documents that are condemning the Dawnflower Blossoms.

How many guards are there?

would we be able to use the commotion created by the V-C to stealthily gain entry in the place?

"I think sneaking would be advisible in this situation. Maybe a few of us sneak in, while the rest wait here?"

"I am not going to be asset in a stealth situation." Sarion says, "But let's do what we can."

I am stealthy, but not exceptionally so, Fung offers, What is the Venture-Captain doing here? Is he involved? Who could be in the other carriage?

Brizza will make some notes on her map of where they emerged from the catacombs (Andoran prestige project continues).
Knowledge Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

And before they emerge, Brizza will duck around a corner to change into a MW Qadiran Dancers outfit. A quick prestidigitation and her exotic make up is done and her blue hair cascades around her in luxurious curls. She looks like she belongs in this part of town, either as a touring diva, or perhaps for a nobleman's more private entertainment.

to Sarion she says Care to be my bodyguard? For those of us that can't blend in... perhaps we should stand out. We'll all get as close as we can in our own way.

Shel, shall we scale the brick wall, on the side of the compound, scout out the guard placement, and try get to the manor that way, or should we make our way to the carriages, and hitch a ride, underneath? Fung still looks a little worse for wear, but still has the enthusiasm of a teenager.

"If Brizza and crew can create a big enough distraction, we might be able to hitch a ride under the carriage, Fung. I like your style, " she says with a nod.

Fung flashes Shel a smile, Style, I take that a compliment coming from a Taldan. Though, don't you think the argument is distraction enough? Once we get in, we can find a way to let in the others.

The monk pauses a moment, musing to himself, Perhaps there is a servant's entrance around the side.

Sarion nods to Brizza. "This I can do." he says with a smile.

Okay, Brizza give me a little bit of role play on your approach the six guards and then we can either do this as a Diplomacy, Bluff, or Performance check. Sarion you may aid another through use of Diplomacy or Intimidate. All others either give me a stealth roll or a climb check in order to get past every one.

Fung waits for Brizza to begin her distraction, then at the opportune moment, the monk slips around the opposite carriage of Shel, moving stealthily as he can approaching the carriage from behind, he slides carefully beneath the undercarriage. He moves up until his entire body is under the carriage, then grabbing a good handhold, pulls himself up off the ground.

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
