GM Tektite's PFS #03-17 Red Harvest (Inactive)

Game Master Hawkwen Agricola

Mordo and Riddywipple simultaneously cast the same spell and disappear. (greater invisibility)

Desmond shakes his head a little bit to get himself oriented now that he finds himself prone. He carefully reaches into his pocket and reads aloud from a small piece of paper. "I grant all my allies good hope as promised for being a good taxpayer!"

Activationg Taxfest 4713 ar Boon - it is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. Essentially, I get to grant the bard spell, good hope on everyone. This spell grants my allies a +2 morale bonus on saving throws, attack rolls, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls. It will last for 8 minutes.

Desmond also draws his falchion.

Boon use!

Amira nods at the the declaration of tax payment, "Not sure how that's relevant, but I suppose that's good to know."

Blow things up?

"Road damage is fine; folks often care about their houses, though if you're offering your services to repair them later..." Amira trails off, running low on time to speak. Plus, if they're actually more clay than wood (despite what the flip mat implies,) then you're a-ok.

Amira casts an Eastern Mysteries'd Hold Person at the northern bird foe. DC 17.

Mordo and Riddywipple disappear as well!

Desmond enacts some obscure ritual to Abadar, giving himself and his allies hope, while he draws a blade.

1d20 ⇒ 18

Amira casts a spell, targeting Taicho, but the birdman seems to resist the spell!

Taiko!

Taiko asked Kyofuu to flank Taisho with him. The whirling came and strike the Tengu

Acrobatics Kyofuu: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Slam: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 281d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Then Taiko make a 5ft. step and strike four time

+1Adamantium wakisashi: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 301d6 + 14 + 1 + 2 + 5d6 ⇒ (2) + 14 + 1 + 2 + (5, 4, 6, 4, 6) = 44

AoO vs Kyofuu: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Kyofuu tries to twirl around the tengu captain, but the birdman is too fast and slices into the little creature!

Kyofuu then slams into the tengu!

Taiko's blades moves so quick as to almost not be seen, cutting into the tengu twice! The tengu captain collapses into a pool of blood!

Attack vs Desmond: 1d20 + 16 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 16 + 4 = 37
Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

One tengu steps over and slices into Desmond one time!

Another tengu tries to trip Des' wolf, but is unable, while the other tengu cuts into the wolf twice!

The final tengu stumbles to the south, retching. Provoking from Sharek

Sharek, Panfalcon, and Marisa!

The tangu still in the Stinking Cloud that made his save, needs to make another Fort Save or be nauseated.

Panfalcon takes a step back from the front lines. He then spreads his hands out, palms towards the ground. The sorcerer then draws up the sand and earth from the ground before him. The earth wicks up his body like a living wave, slowly turning forest green in color. Panfalcon raises his hands toward the tengu directly east of Desmond. Rays of acid jet forth from the sorcerer's open palms streaming at the bird-man

Scorching Ray 1 vs Tengu touch AC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
Acid Dmg: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2, 5, 3) + 1 = 14

Scorching Ray 2 vs Tengu touch AC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Acid Dmg: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 2) + 1 = 11

"You Will Bow Before the Sandtiger!"

Sahrek winces a bit at the cuts he's recieved, but he retaliates back at the tengu that's done the damage.

Bite Attack, Good Hope, Haste: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 2 + 1 = 32
Damage, Good Hope: 2d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 9 + 2 = 16
Trip Attempt, Haste, Good Hope: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 2 + 1 = 27 (Actually, I'm not sure if Good Hope or Haste apply)

Hasted Bite Attack, Good Hope, Haste: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 2 + 1 = 18 (Hopefully vs. Prone AC)
Damage, Good Hope: 2d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (4, 5) + 9 + 2 = 20
Trip Attempt, Haste, Good Hope: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 2 + 1 = 27 (Actually, I'm not sure if Good Hope or Haste apply)

So 18 damage to Desmond, 32 to Sahrek.

Well, don't want to kill her soooo....

"Hey Dhanishta! If you give up now I won't have to burn you into a crisp!"

Marisa pulls her rod of merciful out, floats back some, and readies a merciful empowered fireball spell to disrupt the naga's spellcasting. Assuming she casts from her current location, I aim the center of the blast almost directly above her 20' off the ground. It should barely miss Mordo and the surrounding buildings that way. If she first moves to a square where I can't throw a fireball without lighting the surrounding buildings on fire, Marisa will convert the damage to cold, in which case the listed damage will decrease by 15.

2d20 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10

Both tengu in the cloud start retching and are unable to attack!

Panfalcon fires some burning rays, hitting a tengu! The one out of the cloud?

Sharek tears into a retching tengu and pulls it to the ground, then bites it again!

Marisa floats back and readies to cast a spell!

The naga begins to cast, only to be engulfed by Marisa's fireball!

1d20 ⇒ 15
1d20 ⇒ 13

The naga is able to dodge some of the fireball, but loses her spell!

Desmond, Mordo, and Amira are up!

The one due East (right) of Desmond in the cloud. If figure the one being flanked by Des & Taiko will be fried chicken soon.

Gotcha!

"Ha-ha, that's my boy! Good job Sahrek, you teach that overgrown chicken who's boss!" Seeing that he's got a couple of tengu close to him, Desmond doesn't risk trying to stand up - it would put his guard down too much. He decides to take a few swipes at the tengu just to the north of him.

Falchion, Haste, Good Hope, Flank, Prone: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 13 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 4 = 15

Damage: 2d4 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 7 + 2 = 15

Confirm 3rd Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 4 = 24
Damage: 2d4 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4) + 7 + 2 = 16

Riddywipple fires his Scepter of Chaos at the leader tengu!

1d100 ⇒ 90

Suddenly 5d4 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 3, 1) = 12 gems sprout out of thin air and stream towards the leader! Each gem deals 1 pints of damage.

Mordo casts a spell to implant an image in Dhanishta's mind.

DC 23 Will save to disbelieve or else she thinks she is engulfed in tangled webs teeming with swarms of tiny spiders.

If she fails to disbelieve, she is trapped in a web and must also make a DC 23 Fort save each round or be nauseated.

Was counting damage on people, then realized I may as well just channel given Desmond's double-state.

Amira jingles her Battle Asparagus Aspergerillum Mace and positive energy first flows through it and then into the injured (can select 3 out, so we're good on not healing Bads.) Channel #5 1/3 holy waters used: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 6, 2, 6, 3, 4, 3, 6, 4) = 41 She steps south to prevent Desmond-flanking!

"Thanks for that, Amira!" Desmond feels the warm, glowing, glowing warmth of Amira's healing flowing through him.

Sahrek lifts his head, "AAAhhhooooo!" and howls his thanks.

Desmond swings his blade from the ground, cutting into the tengu twice!

Riddywipple uses the rod, while Mordo casts a spell!

1d20 ⇒ 19

The gems pelt the invisible naga(?), but she is able to disbelieve Mordo's spell!

Amira channels more healing goodness!

if the tengu fall my other attacks went on the tengu in the fog

Taiko cuts down two tengu mercenaries with his blades!

The remaining tengu continue to retch, the one within the fog standing withdrawing from the cloud! Provoking from Sharek.

Sharek, Panfalcon, Marisa are up!

Marisa flies up some more, and readies another merciful empowered fireball to disrupt spellcasting sacrificing her tongues spell to power it.

Sahrek's AoO, good hope, haste: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 11 + 2 + 1 = 25
Damage, good hope: 2d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 9 + 2 = 13
Trip: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

As the wolf watches the tengu disappear into the stinking cloud. He starts to follow, but the foul smell keeps him from following. The wolf looks to his master, waiting for a command.

(Delaying Action)

There is a tengu by the fountain. Is he in play?

"I cannot dispel the cloud. I recommend going around."

The hasted sorcerer makes his way towards the fountains edge. Once he is able to view the last purple feathered tengu, Panfalcon begins to cast. Panfalcon draws again on the energies of the earth and fires two more scorching acid rays at the fleeing yellow-eyed bird man.

Scorching Ray 1 (Acid): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 314d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1, 1, 3) + 3 = 11
Scorching Ray 2 (Acid): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 234d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 5, 2, 5) + 3 = 19

Scorching Ray 1 (Acid) Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 154d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2, 5, 2) + 3 = 13

Yes the tengu is in play, but is still nauseated for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5, three more rounds. Which I thought I already rolled, but can't find. 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Sharek bites the tengu as it withdraws, but can't trip it!

Panfalcon hits the birdman with two scorching rays, one critically!

Marisa readies another spell, which is soon cast as the naga attempts to cast another spell.

2d20 ⇒ (20, 18) = 38

The naga and the tengu are able to avoid much of the blast, but it is too much for the tengu, as he collapses!

1d20 ⇒ 3

Once again, the naga loses her spell!

Desmond, Mordo. Amira, and Taiko!

Taiko pop out of existence swift action : from the Shozoku of the night wind (Vanishing tricks) then asked Kyofuu to move near the naga but out of her reach then moved to be near Dhanishta. double move with haste to be below the naga on the map

Stealth: 1d20 + 24 - 10 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 24 - 10 + 20 = 35 -10 for moving more than half my movement and +20 for invisibility

1d100 ⇒ 59

Riddywipple shakes his scepter furiously. Suddenly the entire square grows bright green grass!

Mordo casts another spell at Dhanishta. Her shadow suddenly tries to grab ahold of her.

Shadow Anchor

DC 21 Will save to resist. If she fails, she can move up to five feet from her current location. Moving farther than five feet requires a bull rush combat maneuver of 20. She takes a -1 penalty for every 5 feet of distance she tries to move away from the tethered square. If she fails by 10 or more, she is pulled 5 feet back toward the tether and knocked prone.

Now clear of any tengus, Desmond stands up. As he takes a look around, he spots another tengu to the south, near the fountain. He drops his falchion and quick draws his bow, able to get off one shot at the tengu.

Bow Attack, Good Hope, Haste, Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (3) + 13 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 16
Damage, Good Hope, Deadly Aim: 1d8 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 6 = 13

Desmond then points to the tengu and gives a command to Sahrek.

"Attack that pigeon, Sahrek!"

Sahrek rushes at the tengu and bites.

Attack, Haste, Good Hope: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 2 + 1 = 29
Damage, Good Hope: 2d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2, 6) + 9 + 2 = 19
Trip: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

Amira takes note of the cloud issue and casts Fly on Desmond (barring any odd complaint or objection.)

Not hitting Sahrek (as fun as Valkyrie Desmond would be) since wolves likely aren't familiar with flying. Des has a hasted fly speed of 90, for reference.

Taiko sneaks toward the naga!

Desmond fires an errant arrow, while Sharek rushes up, biting and pulling down the last tengu!

Amira casts a spell, giving Des the power of flight!

The tengu stands and swings at the wolf with desperation! Provoking.

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Panfalcon, Marisa are up!

Is the naga visible or still under the effects of greater invisibility?

I believe she is still invisible.

Technically its only invisibility, but it is still under the effect as it hasn't attacked amd the spells it lost were buffering spells.

The sand and earth rolls up Panfalcon's arm once again, but this time concentrating at a single point on the sorcerer's outstretched finger.

Palfalcon points this finger at the remaining tengu as a thin line of acid springs forth.

Elemental Ray (Acid) vs last tengu touch AC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 131d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Sahrek tries to keep the tengu down.

Attack of Opportunity, Good Hope, Haste: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 2 + 1 = 32
Damage, Good Hope: 2d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (5, 1) + 9 + 2 = 17
Trip: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

And the tengu's attack misses - thank goodness for Haste.

Sharek bites the tengu as he stands, but Panfalcon misses with his ray!

Marisa

Marisa stows away her spent rod while opening some dialogue with the Naga
"You mind giving up? Maybe you can set up your rule somewhere else? I really don't want to kill you by accident. Last warning..."

Readied action if Naga tries to cast a spell: Sacrificing Telekinesis to cast...

Once more, Marisa readies a spell and once more the naga attempts to cast a spell, ignoring the woman's warning.

1d20 ⇒ 9

Weakened from her previous injuries, the naga in unable to dodge the fireball and is burnt to ashes where she lays!

Seeing, or hearing rather, his leader go down, the last tengu pleads mercy, throwing down his weapon!

Out of Combat!

As the battle winds down, it is easy to see that Aishwarya has the advantage. Especially after word spreads of the other naga's demise.

Once the dust has settled, Aishwarya sends troops to summon the party. "It pleases me greatly that you have sided with me. I have been true to my word and ordered Avinash to turn over the Lotus Annals. Here they are!" She says, motioning to a large set of vellum scrolls. "What will you do now?" The naga asks.

Amira is confused by the situation and discusses via telepathy, "Wait, didn't she say she was only going to let us look at them; not TAKE them...?"

Sense: 1d20 + 17 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 17 + 5 = 23

Or am I misremembering?

Desmond sheathes his falchion, having never left the ground. As Amira's telepathic message is broadcast to the part, Desmond replies, "Let's not look a gift horse in the mouth. If'n the big snake wants to hand over the Lotus Annals, all the better. I doubt our Society overlords would be displeased about that."

If'n the big snake wants to hand over the Lotus Annals, all the better. I doubt our Society overlords would be displeased about that."

I may be misremembering. I'll recheck it in a little bit.

"Sometimes a gift horse is just a plague carrier from a secret enemy. If the village has issues with each of their moral values, then I cannot expect something from one naga and not the other."

Amira will look over the given papers, should the opportunity not prove offensive.

Just in case Linguistics (It's about writing!): 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 17 + 2 = 30

Okay, I went back and checked - we can make a copy. We weren't directed to bring them back. But Desmond wouldn't have paid attention to that part anyway.

Oh, I knew we could make a copy, but I feel as though bringing the originals was the truest mission completion or something. Shrug.

Okay, my fault for trying to quick-read at work. The VC does say that it is better if we collect the actual scrolls.

You're last fireball was scary Amira San. I'm glad to have you at our side. said a bowing Taiko.

Pfff. We do all the work and she took the glory. But mission accomplished that what matter

Upon retaining the scrolls, Panfalcon makes a proclamation.

"Let today stand as a holiday of freedom for the residents of Nibung. Today we honor the traditional values of this great town. Let us celebrate this moment like they did a long time a go, in a land far, far away. Yub Nub!"

You remember correctly Amira and I read it correctly as well. I just stopped after the reading the ordering Avinash part, allowing access. Technically she didn't say you caould have them, only that they were there and what will you do now....

Amira bows to the naga, "I understand your desire to continue the traditions of your people, though I feel I must request that you reconsider your no-trade policy." She looks to the ashen remains of the tax collector. "There are many that attempt to claw to the top at any cost and such ploys have no honor or good intent behind them. I feel as though your city could flourish were you to open your holdings to the outside world. Perhaps you would reconsider, coming from one with no real personal gain to be had? Perhaps you could start with us?"

Diplo? (power use #5?): 1d20 + 23 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 23 + 5 = 45

You're last fireball was scary Amira San. I'm glad to have you at our side. said a bowing Taiko.

Marisa dusts her hands off after she lands and sighs under her breath.

Wish I didn't need to do that. People are just so stubborn.

Mordo studies the texts with great interest. He offers to make any copies that may be needed to take back to the Lodge when the party is ready to leave the village.

Desmond looks around for his errant arrow in the town square.

1=Find 2=Not Find: 1d2 ⇒ 2

"Ah well, just an arrow. I just better remember to pick some up once we're out of here."

He sneaks up behind Amira and peaks over her shoulder at the scrolls. "That's them, eh? I guess it was all worth it."
