Exiles of Winter PFS scenerio# 2-17 [Recruitment closed] (Inactive)

Game Master lucklesshero

Once they drag the dogs' corpses out of the way, Jamir saunters west (rapier in hand) to examine the pile of debris in the corner closest to the doorway.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

With a flick of the wrist Torvald pops the Cure Light Wounds wand and gives himself and his allies a quick tap.

Torvald Cure: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Whoever Else Cure: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

I posted my movement with arrows to show the path I took. Feel free to copy them and use them yourselves the next time you move, and avoid any questions of what you crossed over etc... I only used the arrows this time as an example. Change the color to distinguish one arrow from another using the line color tool.

Lia steps near Craggark and thanks him for his warning, "I know I was in danger, but so was everyone. I had to help. Thank you for your warning though, I appreciate it."

She then looks around, the room, ceiling to floor, wondering on the safety of such a place.

perception: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Well, I care," the half-orc offers, his cheeks colouring slightly, "about you."

He coughs suddenly.

"I mean, everyone else, too," he says hurriedly as he walks to the doorway to check it out.

You are so very stupid.

OK here's what happed with you guys when the following events happen: Craggark drew an alchemist fire and moved to the door to listen, Lia looked around the whole room including the rafters but saw/heard nothing but shadows and wind, Torvald got off one cure on himself for 5hp, Jamir helped drag a dogs corpse out of the way (his rapier in hand), Jawhar went outside(move action) bent down picked up the chest (move action): that's where you guys are when the second part of this fight starts I'm moving Jawhar slightly: you may move him, anywhere you like on your turn Jawhar(but let me know what you do with the chest..dropping it is a free action but it might contain fragile stuff) .

Suddenly from the rafters sudden movement erupts and a deluge of arrows comes raining down on your group!
goblin 3: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 1 aimed at Craggark
goblin 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 4 aimed at Jamir
goblin 4: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 2 aimed at Craggark
goblin 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 3confirm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 aimed at Torvald
(GM is ruling the smaller gnome would have had soft cover from her position near Craggark, therefore the goblins choose an easier target for their first volley)

Both Jamir and Torvald are pierced by the sudden arrows coming from the rafters 11-12ft above them. All of you can hear the chattering of evil little goblins snicker as the position themselves for further shots. Before any of you can so much as move one of the goblins gets of another shot.
goblin 3: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 2 aimed at Craggark
But the third arrow shot Craggark's way, falls short.

It's Craggark's turn; here's initiative order (bless is still up):
1. Goblin 3
2. Craggark
3.Goblin 1
4. Torvald
5. Analia
6. Jamir
7. Goblin 4
8. Jawhar
9. Goblin 2
Jamir has taken 4dmg. and Torvald 3 to begin combat, Jamir has his rapier in hand, Craggark his alchemist fire, Torvald wand of cure, Jawhar chest, Analia nothing (that i know of)

I had to sheathe my scimitar first (move action), so I would not have had time to actually pick up the chest if that is also a move action. (It makes sense that it would be)

I had to sheathe my scimitar first (move action), so I would not have had time to actually pick up the chest if that is also a move action. (It makes sense that it would be)

confirmed your outside by the chest then

"I can shield you!" the frostkin grunts at Lia, as he performs a quick kata movement.

Move action. Martial Flexibility use to swap Stunning Fist for Deflect Arrows.

Satisfied, the half-orc lobs the alchemist's fire at the nearest goblin.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 1 = 191d6 ⇒ 6

I don't know where the nearest goblin is, but if the rafters are 10 feet above the tall half-orc, then that's one range increment. If needed, he will take a 5 foot step towards one of them.

Just so you are all aware..the goblin's have partial cover while in the rafters as well as concealment to anyone who doesn't have low light are dark vision..the concealment can disappear if you can get a light source up in the rafters and of coarse the cover goes if you're in the rafters as well. As long as they don't move the goblins will not be flat footed (weird I know)..

Craggark arcs a perfect throw at the goblin nearest to him with alchemist fire. At first the evil little creature thinks Craggarks shot missed high because of the angle of the shot...However, Craggark aimed for the support beam directly behind the goblin and it careened off the beam in to the back of the head of the creature. The creature dosed in flame falls from the rafters and lies very still ..burning on the floor. fall: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Goblin one stays put steadies his aim and tries to finish off Jamir Goblin 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 He curses in frustration as his shot lands short.

Torvald, Analia, and Jamir your turns in that order.

"You're taking my schtick, Craggark!" the dwarf chuckles as he palms another bombs and says it winging towards the next closest goblin.

Bomb Throw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 Fire!: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 = 11

If I need to move close I'll do so to get within 20ft.

Lia peeks around Craggark's leg and wiggles her fingers, and the air chills as the freezing ray leaps toward one of the goblins. targeting one of the wounded goblins, or if the only one left is unhurt, then target that one.

Ray of frost, ranged touch+bless: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Cold damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Jamir hisses as the goblin's arrow jabs into his gluteus maximus, and does so again when he yanks it out by the shaft.

At least it's going to leave a scar in an interesting place!

He had been about to check over the heaped debris with an eye for clues to Skagni's whereabouts, but now he inspects it quickly as a possible launchpad. Quickly dropping his buckler and pack, Jamir takes a step back to get some room (10'), sheaths his rapier, and lets out a loud whoop.

"I'm coming for you, you uncultured trash-eaters!"

With a final shout, Jamir charges at the junk pile and leaps for the top.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Derring-Do!: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Total for Acrobatics check 1 = 23

Jamir bounds over the broken crates and abandoned furniture, and kicks off of an old beer keg with a clang to pivot in time to push off of the wall with all of his might. He reaches for the rafters above, stretching his arms out as far as they will go.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Jamir's hands grab the rafter easily, and he tries to use his remaining momentum to swing himself up on top of the narrow beam...

Climb, Derring-Do!: 1d20 - 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (13) - 2 + (3) = 14

...and hangs there, swinging slowly above the floor, wondering when one of the goblins will scuttle over to put an end to him, and if he will be able to grab the little bastard by the ankle and take it down with him.

Torvald expert as always with his bombs, moves up and has perfect aim with his bomb. The goblin goes flying out of his nest and falls to the floor motionless. Analia moves forward (you needed to to get into range with ray of frost), and fires a ray of frost at the goblin that had been firing at Jamir. The ray hit's and the Goblin struggles to keep it's balance balance: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 and finally slips on the excess ice created by Analia's ray, falling to the ground fall: 1d6 ⇒ 2. The fierce creature hits the ground with a thud his bow laying next to him he groans in pain and tries to lift his head.

The remaining goblin howls in frustration shooting his arrow at Analia Goblin 4: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 ..but the shot falls short.

Jawhar it's your turn. 2 goblins dead/down 1 on the ground wounded prone and one left in the rafters still firing arrows: fyi the one in the rafters still is in L 7: Jamir you used 2 Panache points correct?

Correct. One left for my next Climb attempt.

Jawhar is about to stoop down to pick up the chest when he hears a commotion inside.

Slow to react as always, he considers picking up the chest anyways until he hears Jamir cry out about "uncultured trash-eaters".

Now, that is just plain racist. I know Craggark is a half-orc, but I've never seen him eat actual trash. Perhaps some things that should be in the trash...

Moving back inside to try to smooth down whatever crisis is brewing, he immediately notices Jamir hanging from the rafters and the bodies of several goblins on the floor.

When he notices the arrow caught in Torvald's beard, he assumes his friends might need some healing and calls upon the warmth of Sarenrae to heal the wounded.

Exclude any dog or goblin in the area who looks like they are close to waking up

Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 5
* Jamir and Torvald should be full again.

its Craggark then Torvald 's turns

Craggark swiftly glances around the rafters to be sure nothing else is awaiting an attack.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Convinced nothing he doesn't know about is about to attack him, the frostkin rushes up to the goblin that's fallen (in square L7) and pummels it to be sure it doesn't rise again.

Standard Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 121d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

"You should buy a few javelins or something, Craggark, my bombs are too nice to waste on lowly goblins," Torvald grumbles as he moves towards the trash pile and grabs a cracked dining plate, gauging distance before zinging it towards the last goblin in the rafters like a frisbee.

Throw Anything: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 Confirm?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

I think Torvald got the last one, but if not and it is really my turn...

-Posted with Wayfinder

The Froskin warrior rushes over to the fallen goblin and lands a kick near the ear of the creature as it tries to rise; it reamians still after the blow. Torvald, throws a piece of broken pottery up into the rafters and hears a satisfying squeal from his adversary. Analia moves forward and directs another frosty ray, in the remaining goblin's direction but, her aim is off and the ray strikes harmlessly to the right of the creature.

Jamir your turn then the remaining goblin then Jawhar.

Climb: 1d20 - 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) - 2 + (1) = 1

"Ha ha! Yes, you foul, dirt-dwelling, malodorous buffoon! I am coming for you,"

(grunt, struggle)

"... any second now! Prepare to meet your doom!"

Jamir makes no progress at all in pulling himself up. He swings from the rafter, feet pedaling ineffectually.

Out of panache!

The goblin laughs maniacally and looses an arrow against the vulnerable(Flat footed) Jamir . Goblin 4: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 2. The foul little creature yells the taunt, oh ah! a hanging target tehe!

Jawhar, Craggark, then Torvald (if needed)

Cover and concealment? Need to get some light up there

Cast Light on a piece of debris and throw it up into the rafters.

If needed. 1d20 ⇒ 19

-Posted with Wayfinder

the old piece of debris glowing with the holy magic of Sarenrae, rattles around in the corner of the rafters for a moment before finding purchase and illuminating the upper rafters for all to see.

Craggark ur up then Torvald if needed.

Craggark your best bet is to move to the table and do a one foot high jump from a standing position then hoist yourself up into the rafters with a climb check. The whole process will take two rounds and involves two checks . ( move to table, climb up on table , jump D.C.: 8, hoist yourself up climb D.C.: 15)

Craggark grunts at Torvald's suggestions regarding the purchase of missile weapons. He picks up the limp goblin that he recently dispatched by an arm and a leg, and spinning around, launches the goblin body at the remaining goblin in the rafters.

Strength Check: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10
Improvised Missile Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 - 4 + 1 = 81d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

"How about that for a missile weapon?" the half-orc grunts at Torvald. "It'd be kinda hard to buy dead goblins in stores, though." The flung goblin misses the mark, but looks fantastic in so doing.

Torvald rolls his eyes, "You didn't even come close!" Thoughtfully perusing the pile of junk, he selects a small length of pipe and hurls it at the goblin. "Why are you even here?!"

Throw Pipe: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

"To make you look good, my stout friend," quips Craggark, "though you seem to be not rising to that challenge."

"I was talking to the goblin. Why are they here?"

Lia quickly looks around to make sure there are no other enemies lurking nearby...

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 1

...then if the goblin is still the only one...

"They just hurt Jamir! I won't let them hurt anyone else!" she says with great emotion as she lets loose with another ray of frost.

Ray of Frost, ranged touch+bless: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
cold damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"I am fine! It is barely a scratch! No need for concern, I will dispatch the little fiend momentarily!"

The Goblin screeches as Analia's ray strikes. acrobatic : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 the sudden jolt of frost and pain cause it to fall from it's perch fall: 1d6 ⇒ 4 it hits the ground with a thud no longer moving.

"Quickly, search them for keys or other things of value and let's move on. We need to find where they are holding Rognvald." Lia says in a rush.

"I just don't want to be here in this vile place any longer than is absolutely necessary." she says while checking one of the goblins for life and loot.

Once done searching the goblins, the group looks over the room they are in for any clues, or things that might be important.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Non-lethal damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

gah!

Jamir lets go of the rafter and drops to the ground, but the effort to swing up onto the beam must have tired him out, and he stumbles as he lands.

"Oof!"

The halfling picks himself up and brushes off his clothes.

"Thank you, Lia! I am certain I would have gotten up there and made short work of that goblin in another moment, but I admit I was not looking forward to being shot at again."

As Jamir lands ungracefully Lia grimaces with sympathy. When he picks himself up though, she breaths a sigh of relief and smiles.

"If your about done with hanging around, we have a captive to rescue." she says with wide eyes and a small grin.

Her grin fading, she continues, "You're wounded though, as is Torvald. Be careful till the wounds can mend."

We will heal up as needed. Roll your own?

I believe the wounded are Craggark, Jamir, & myself, since GM said I only got off the first heal during before the goblins attacked.

Flourishing Craggark's wand of healing, Torvald tends to everyone's wounds.
Craggark: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Jamir: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Torvald: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Torvald, I don't think you have been injured since I channelled.

Going back out to get the chest and finally hide it amongst the debris.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Thanks, Torvald.

Jamir chuckles, then nods in agreement with Lia's wish to find Skagni and get out of town. He looks over the debris pile for any clues (or valuables) before moving up to listen at the double-door across the room.

Perception (debris pile): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Perception (listening at the door): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Torvald, I haven't been hit. I think Jamir is the only person you healed with the wand. I updated the resources sheet with the one other charge used.

Craggark moves back to the room that he was inching towards before the goblins attacked, peering through the doorway.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

"Hey Lia, did we find anything of use from the gobbos?"

I believe the wounded are Craggark, Jamir, & myself, since GM said I only got off the first heal during before the goblins attacked.

Flourishing Craggark's wand of healing, Torvald tends to everyone's wounds.
[dice=Craggark]1d8+1
[dice=Jamir]1d8+1
[dice=Torvald]1d8+1

Torvald Jawhar already channeled, so only Jamir is injured. You only need to mark off one charge this time.

You guys look at the goblin's bodies, listen to the door, inspect the refuse and look into the room with the stairwell. In all instance you see or hear nothing significant.

Jawhar retrieves the chest and is finally able to "safely" hide it under the debris in the SW room Hoping my previous perception roll will still count for detecting any traps in this room

He returns to the group and confers with the others.

"Well, we're in the brewery and the note said to look beneath the brewery. Has anyone found a way to go down?"

He listens to the replies.

"Ok. There are two doors left to explore. Let's pick one and remain vigilant. I am going to guess that stairs down into a storeroom, or whatever else would be found under a brewery would be near that bar up front.

I vote to examine that door first."

Jawhar transfers the Light spell to his shield, and waits for other opinions.

Edit: By transfer, I mean that he casts Light again, which cancels the original List spell

"Oh, that's RIGHT," the half-orc exclaims. "We're supposed to look UNDER the brewery!"

You sound really dumb right now.

"Um, yes," Craggark mumbles sheepishly. "We should check out whichever one you guys think is the best."

The frostkin catches Lia's eyes and smiles.

Hoping my previous perception roll will still count for detecting any traps in this room

there are at least 7 separate distinct sections of this room (3b) those sections would be the refuse pile on your side of the wall, the pile of junk on the other side of the wall, the vats the tables around the corner, the center of the room, the door to 3c, the door to 3a, and we've already dealt with the rafters. Likewise 3C and 3 A will have multiple distinct area's; am I to assume the rest of the party remains still, while Jawhar spends several minutes going from area to area inspecting all the area's I mentioned? If that's not the case I'll need Jawhar to state what area he's inspecting and what the other players are doing. Unfortunately, I failed to edit out the trap marker so I've spoiled the fact that, there's a trap about. But, even that being the case, I really have no indication from the others that they are remaining idle, while Jawhar inspects the room; so I'll need specific actions from individuals to allow one roll for this entire room.

In the future I'd like to be a little more specific about what and where a character is looking for a trap unless they have an ability like " trap spotter " that allows for passive checks on larger areas. Saying something to the effect, "I walk strait to the door checking the floor and ceiling for traps the whole way"..would illicit one perception check. However, saying this, "I walk strait to the door checking the floor and ceiling for traps the whole way and then inspect the door for traps." would illicit two perception checks. I'm confident this is a fair and realistic way to manage perception. Also looking for traps on a door might not give away the fact that there are monsters moving around in the room behind the door, (although I might do a GM passive check for this due to your nearness to the door). I hope this clarifies how I prefer to manage traps. PS. stone cunning acts like trap spotter, for pits and traps made of primarily stone

*edit* I do realize Jamir has already inspected the nearest refuse pile and listened at the door to 3a. Both, checks came up with nothing interesting.

Glancing to Craggark and flashing a brief smile, "For now, lets explore the this upper floor before going down. I don't want to leave any threat to come from behind." She then moves over and takes Craggark's hand, pulling him over to join Jamir and the others at the southern double doors.

She refreshes the message magic on everyone with a few arcane words and gestures with a copper wire before they open anything.

If the time comes to recast mage armor she will, so let me know when to mark off another charge.

you have 30 minutes at least on mage armor

I checked the SW refuse pile for traps before hiding the chest in it. Let's say grid N4.

I then returned to the group in the center of 3B and am suggesting checking the door into the room in 3A. I will head that way if nobody objects, but I'll be busy for several rounds moving, checking traps, and hiding the chest, so others may decide to act in the meantime. Bless will certainly have dropped by the time I am complete with the hiding.

Ok guys it looks like your heading to the door into 3a who inspects the door? And then you do u open it if you find nothing?

Craggark heads over behind Jamir at the double doors. "Time to move, I think," the half-orc suggests. "Very strange to have both dogs and goblins guarding the same space - those two things HATE each other," the half-orc mentions off-handedly as he comes up.

More evidence of the quality of the writing in this scenario?

The half-orc draws a flask from his belt. "I'm ready," he grunts.
