Dungeon Master S's "Mists of Mwangi" [CORE] (Inactive)

Game Master Chris Marsh

Silgil's spell slams into the face, which screeches in a staccato fashion. It's inhaling deeply, as if the next one is going to be MUCH bigger.

Round 2:
Peter: Go
Omrijka: Go
Haliphod: Go
Baddies: TBD
Silgil: TBD
Seiran: TBD
Samildanach: TBD

Juhah turns around in a safe area and tries to bite the remaining creature.

Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 191d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
trip, if hit: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Peter moves through the room and shoots another arrow against the beast.

mwk longbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 131d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
broken % for the missed bolt = +50% is broken: 1d100 ⇒ 78

Peter (and Juhah) can't repeat their deadly performance from a moment ago, and their attacks miss.

Round 2:
Peter: Miss
Omrijka: Go
Haliphod: Go
Baddies: TBD
Silgil: TBD
Seiran: TBD
Samildanach: TBD

@Dungeon Master S, correcting Juhah's atk: it wasn't 19, it was 21 to hit. I forgot the +2 bonus from flanking.

Juhah snags a bit of flesh!

Round 2:
Peter: Miss
Omrijka: Go
Haliphod: Go
Baddies: TBD
Silgil: TBD
Seiran: TBD
Samildanach: TBD

"Put your flying friend where I can flank with it" calls Omrijka

delays until the summon appears

Once summon appears Omrijka will move to attack the creature with flanking and strike at green with her glaive
glaive attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 = 13
for glaive damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
plus sneak damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Haliphod finishes his summons, and a fierce looking eagle appears near the flying creature. It swoops in to attack in aeriel combat.

Talon: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Talon: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Beak: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Wow, what garbage rolls! At least Omrijka gets to flank...

Haliphod says triumphantly, "Now take that!" And then he slaps his hand to his forehead, seeing how the eagle couldn't even touch the creature.

Haliphod, the eagle, and Omrijka all miss as this head proves to be a tougher foe.

Seeing that it's about to be surrounded, the creature lets forth a hideous scream. It's mouth is open far too wide and it hurts. By the gods it hurts. Each of you must make a FORT save DC 12 or be paralyzed for 2d4 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5 Rounds.

Round 2:
Peter: Miss
Omrijka: Miss
Haliphod: Miss
Baddies: SCREAM
Silgil: Go
Seiran: Go
Samildanach: Go

I forgot Haliphod's actions, since the summon was automatic.
The gnome casts another spell, causing a shimmering shield to come up around him. Shield spell

Fort Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Haliphod shivers, as the scream cuts to the bone. But he is made of sterner stuff.

fort save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

"Dat da best ya can do "

fort save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Just managin to hold his nerve, Samildanach strikes out again at the animated mask with their Cold Iron Trident.

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 for damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

I should be next to Om, could someone move me plrase?

The scream fails to freeze a good chunk of the party, and while it comes close to getting through to Samildanach, it doesn't stop the half-orc's reply from being any less deadly. The hit is massive, and the head almost falls dead. Almost.

Round 2:
Peter: Miss
Omrijka: Miss
Haliphod: Miss
Baddies: SCREAM
Silgil: Go
Seiran: Go
Samildanach: Hit

fort save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Silgil attempts to finish the thingie off with another magic missile
MM: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Peter's Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Why, God? Why?
Juhah's Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Fort Save 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Longsword Swing! 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 241d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Longsword Swing! Confirm 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 241d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Edit: Holy #@$!!

"It can't be worse then what I had to hear before." Seiran retorts a he brushes off the scream.
"Could do with a more steady pitch, I think." he offers as an afterthought, just before he attempts to run it through.

Seiran cleaves the head in twain! A mighty swing, worthy of the Pathfinder chronicles.

Out of combat!

Wow! Well done you!

Samildanach grunts in appreciation at Seiran's might swing, and looks down at the animated mask in intrigue. I may have to copy that design mext boarding action he considers for a moment before peering at the reat of the masks for any more signs of animation.

"So, once the Human has stopped quaking in his boots from a little noise, shall we press on?"

Omrijka retrieves her sap and looks around the room for any pretty objects perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 she then moves towards the southern door and asks the group "Dis one next? If you is ready Peter Petrified?" she winks at the human

Seiran strides over to the door, ready to open it once the others are ready.

Haliphod casts speak with animals, and tells the eagle that he should fly into the next room and report back what is there, once Seiran is ready to open the door.

Got a few rounds left, so might as well make use of this eagle.

The door is checked over quickly, and nothing stands out, so in the eagle goes... It manages to get the word "Predator!" out as everyone hear's a snake hiss.

Let's say it's starting round 3 of the eagle.

Baddies: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Peter: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Haliphod: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Samildanach: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20
Seiran: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Omrijka: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Silgil: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

These public restrooms seem to be for the use of visiting clientele. Several stalls are here and a huge cesspool below collects the offal. Mad laughter echoes in this cramped stone chamber. The stench of sewage battles the cold of the mist, but through the haze can be seen smears of blood across the floor, walls, and ceiling, as well as the doors of several stalls.

Before anyone can act, another crazed museum worker explodes out of the mist too!

Round 1:
Peter: Go
Samildanach: Go
Silgil: Go
Seiran: Go
Haliphod: Go
Baddies: TBD
Omrijka: TBD

Once Omrijka ends her joke about Peter's condition, the "paralyze" effect ends too.

"Your wink ended the charm over me, thank you", the ranger says as he sports a sarcastic smile.

After compose himself, Peter and Juhah follows the others in exploring the next room.

"Ok, let's get some fun again", he says before enter the restroom and shoot an arrow against the "museum worker".

mwk longbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 151d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
if miss...
broken % for the missed bolt = +50% is broken: 1d100 ⇒ 88

Juhah threat the same prey that her master attacks.

Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 211d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
trip, if hit: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Peter and Juhah quickly engage the man. His bestial physique at odds with his academician robes. Arrow and tooth both connect, eliciting a snarl and spit. He stays on his feet though.

Round 1:
Peter: ATK
Samildanach: Go
Silgil: Go
Seiran: Go
Haliphod: Go
Baddies: TBD
Omrijka: TBD

Rather than wasting another magic missile on this lone worker, Silgil attempts a telekinetic fist.

TK ranged touch: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Keeping his resources for whatever may lie ahead, Silgil punches the man with pure force, giving him an instant black eye.

Round 1:
Peter: ATK
Samildanach: Go
Silgil: TK
Seiran: Go
Haliphod: Go
Baddies: TBD
Omrijka: TBD

Seiran enters the fray himself, attempting to pummel the man senseless.

Attack non-lethal 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 - 4 = 71d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Seiran swings with the flat, but can't connect!

Round 1:
Peter: ATK
Samildanach: Go
Silgil: TK
Seiran: Miss
Haliphod: Go Bot is encouraged, eagle too
Baddies: TBD
Omrijka: TBD

Bottting Haliphod and the eagle

Eagle attacks snake

talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Haliphod casts guidance on Sigil

The eagle tears the snake to shreds! Haliphod buffs Silgil up for his next move.

Round 1:
Peter: ATK
Samildanach: Go
Silgil: TK
Seiran: Miss
Haliphod: Eagle and buff
Baddies: TBD
Omrijka: TBD

Samildanach follows into the restroom wrinkling his nose at the earthly aroma of the place. Knowing he would have no chance of reaching the crazed worker and little chance of a thrown Trident hitting he calls upon Gozreh's power to guide Peter in his next strike.

"May the King o' Storms guide yer shot Ranger"

guidance on peter

Samildanach also buffs a teammate for a quick finish...

The erstwhile employee only knows the Pathfinders must die, so he flies into more of a rage and attacks Serian!

Slam: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 and hits him on the jaw for DMG: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Round 1:
Peter: ATK
Samildanach: Go
Silgil: TK
Seiran: Miss
Haliphod: Eagle and buff
Baddies: ATK
Omrijka: Go

To speed things up, if and when it gets to Silgil, he will try another TK punch

to hit: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

Even with the help of the guidance, no luck there. Just as well since I don't think there is an option to do non-lethal damage and I'd prefer we didn't kill the poor fellow.

Omrijka moves in and tries to pin the guy to the wall with her sap

sap attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 fornon lethal damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Seiran knows that his jaws hurt from that hit.
He also knows that he doesn't want to kill the poor man.
He resists the sudden urge to bite the man.......
For my reference, taken 2

Omrijka's hit cracks hard, but the man is crazed by the mist. Silgil tries another, but misses.

Round 2:
Peter: Go
Samildanach: Go
Silgil: Miss
Seiran: Go
Haliphod: Go
Baddies: TBD
Omrijka: TBD

At a conference today, not sure what it'll do to my posting ability.

Juhah takes a strategic step more close to the museum worker (5-foot step) and retaliates his flesh.

bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 201d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
trip, if hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
claw #1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 241d2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
claw #2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 241d2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Peter drops his bow on the floor, draws his falchion and moves forward in the museum worker's direction, swinging his blade to cut the man in two pieces.

falchion + flanking + PA: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 = 262d4 + 13 ⇒ (2, 4) + 13 = 19

"ROOOAAAARRR!" the ranger screams when the blood is spilled on his face.

Just before Peter himself can get to the man, Juhah takes the man out. Thankfully the hit from Omrijka means he's knocked out. As soon as he's unconscious, his form shrinks and relaxes.

For now, he's sleeping it off.

Out of combat.

sorry Peter, that was an amazing hit, but I think they wanted to knock him out.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Peter would have killed him with that amazing hit.

"What is happening to these men? And why are none of you affected?"

Haliphod looks around the room.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

#sad - I'm kidding! No problem, he can still alive, just ignore Peter's last action. :)

Haliphod doesn't see anything of note, these are the bathrooms after all. The man gives gentle snores, but the party finds nothing.

"Good, Juhah, good", says Peter to his companion, while caresses her fur.

"So, let's check the adjacent room", he suggested, then moved close to it's door, waiting for the others. "Ready?"

The party carefully opens the next side room door, but unlike the last two, nothing dangerous jumps out. This simple room of unadorned stone is piled floor to ceiling with boxes and crates, allowing room for only a few small corridors between these towers of dusty, mothballed exhibits.

Omrijka has no interest in searching through the storage room when the main exhibit hall seems more likely to hold the cause of the trouble. She heads there and observes and listens at the door
perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 (+1 vs traps)

Silgil will give the room a quick scan for magic and investigate further if it comes up positive.

Omrijka only hears a strange hum from the other side...

Silgil finds nothing of interest or magic.

Well then, with nothing of interest here, we proceed to the remaining, and more interesting door. I've moved my icon.

"Nothing here that I can tell. Let's wee what's in the last room."
