Eyes of the Ten (Inactive)

Game Master drbuzzard

Samhain looks up from his tracking. "It would appear that 12 individuals have come this way. However, it would seem that they are travelling single file to hide their numbers as opposed to side by side."

"very well. That gives us some information to use that we did not have. "

Using my mutagen and my echolocation extract

You advance into the cave with Savage on point.

This cavern has a smooth stone floor and rough walls. A mess of vines hangs from the 40-foot-high ceiling, stretching from wall to wall.

There is a mess (dozen) if Garundi warriors in here. They appear to have heard your discussions outside the cave.

Time for initiative.

Baddies init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Savage init: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

The front row of enemies are on the ground. The others are climbing among the vines up above.

init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

"Oh my, a welcoming committee? How quaint."

Hugo casts extended fly spell upon himself once he sees the cave full of cavemen. If there is time (not surprise round) he will fly up 15'

Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Ezrek drinks an shielding extract and begins lifting into the air.

Shield, lift 15'-30' into the air. Not sure if the vines above block, or how high the climbing cultists are.

Init: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 4 = 24

Samhain peeks in. "Just as I suspected." His hand goes to his bowstring and readies to point Civetta into the fray.

Hugo will watch from his altitude for signs of hostilities.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

It doesn't take much to realize they are hostile.

Ablin init: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

You guys are up

Everyone is before them. Ezrek has acted. Savage goes after the rest of you, then the baddies.

Hugo already acted (cast fly, flew up) as well

Samhain lets loose a volley of arrows to open against the Garundi to the right (arrow drawn on map). If he should fall, he moves his aim to the one to the left of the target.

Many Shot, Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim, +6 Favored Enemy, Point Blank, Improved Precise Shot

He tells Civetta to stay near him.

precision damage (sneak attack) and energy damage (such as holy) are not multiplied on crits.

These tribesmen do not appear to have invented armor yet, so all the attacks hit.

The manyshot drops the first one.

The next two shots obliterate another (after the miss from the rapid shot).

Moving and attack the middle one with a DC 21 for halve damage on the splash.
exploding bomb: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (7) + 19 = 26
damage: 6d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 2, 2, 5, 3, 3) + 5 = 25

Sorry that I didn't label them. Could you specify 'middle one'? Is it middle of the front line, or middle of the whole mess of them above in the vines?

The red one

OK. Bomb hits.

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 fail 11 damage
Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 fail 11 damage

Savage moves up to the one struck by the bomb and hacks away

power attack, CAGM

to hit: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 20 = 38 damage: 2d6 + 28 ⇒ (4, 6) + 28 = 38

and hews him in half.

The two others on the ground lay into him.
CAGM kicks in and Savage gets to attack first.

Savage to hit: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (20) + 20 = 40 damage: 2d6 + 28 ⇒ (1, 1) + 28 = 30

dead cultist

Savage actually managed to not get hurt for once.

Three closest cultists on vines swing in and attack Savage (spring attack, so they can swing back out).

Cultist to hit: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29 damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Cultist to hit: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25 damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Cultist to hit: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33 damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Savage takes 39 damage.

PCs up again.

Ezrek flies forward and lobs an exposive bomb at a cultist in the center of the group.

RTA, PBS: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 1 = 19

reflex save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 fail

Samhain moves up a little bit while drawing a wand. He taps it on his quiver and readies to engage the foe again.

Wand of Abundant Ammunition

I forgot. The one hit with the bomb is on fire.

Figuring Savage's luck will not hold for another round, Hugo flies up behind him and casts a cure serious wounds on him.

"Go with the blessing of Abadar my friend. And try not to let them hit you so much." he says with a wink.

CSW: 3d8 + 11 ⇒ (6, 7, 8) + 11 = 32

Ablin decides that this is a bunch of chumps and instead of wasting resources, calculates prime numbers in his head 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, ...

Savage will keep rage running, and ready an action to swat one of the foes when it swings in close. He will also keep CAGM active.

The three closest swingers try again on Savage. First one gets the swat and the CAGM hit first.

to hit: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (8) + 20 = 28 damage: 2d6 + 28 ⇒ (3, 5) + 28 = 36

to hit: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (11) + 19 = 30 damage: 1d6 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Now you might be wondering why the other ones are just swinging there doing practically nothing. Well the genius who wrote this module gave them stats for a ranged attack, but only ONE weapon, so if they throw it they are disarmed and have no unarmed attack ability. Sooper Geenius.

The other ones move into position to get in swing attacks.

PCs are up again.

Hugo figures it is easy target practice and just fires a round of crossbow bolts at the swingers.

"I am proud of you Savage. You spilled more of their blood than they did of yours! Abadar be praised."

Hugo +1 CO Bane, repeat crossbow, favor: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 2 = 34 for dmg: 1d10 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 2 = 6

Samhain takes aim and starts launching an unending supply of arrows at the foes, starting with the left and going to the right as they fall.

Many: 1d20 + 14 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 14 + 6 + 1 = 27
2d8 + 18 + 2 + 12 ⇒ (8, 5) + 18 + 2 + 12 = 45 + Holy: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 5, 6) = 13 = 58

2d8 + 18 + 2 + 12 ⇒ (5, 5) + 18 + 2 + 12 = 42

"I feel we may be finished with these men shortly!"

With a signal, Samhain sends Civetta into the fray towards the opposite end.

Bite!: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 1 + 6 = 21
1d4 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 6 = 13

First shot drops one.

Next 2 drop another.

and the crit drops one more.

Civetta also gets a nip in.

Ezrek tosses two bombs into the center of the scrum. Targeting 2nd from top, 10' splash. DC21

RTA, PBS: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 15 + 1 = 32

12 splash (x2), will target the next one south if first bring down the guy.

The target is blown into a bloody heap by the two bombs.

One of the others is very singed by splash damage, while the other two are more moderately affected. Combined with the crossbow bolts sticking out of his hide, another drops.

Waiting on Ablin. Will move on without his action later today.

Ablin continues the prime number progression.

Seeing that attacking the barbarian brings on great pain, the two tribals will take shots at Ezrek.

spring attack

to hit: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35 damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

PCs are up again.

Hugo will repeat his repeating crossbow for two shots (will need to reload after that).

Hugo +1 CO Bane, repeat crossbow, favor: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 2 = 31 for dmg: 1d10 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9

You have to give this welcoming committee credit for being persistent despite the odds against them.

Wouldn't one of them provoke from Civetta as Spring Attack only covers the target?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Yes, I imagine the owl will get a shot in. Keep forgetting about it.

The reason the primitive screwheads have not run yet is that their morale condition is based solely on their individual HP, not how many of their fellows have assumed room temperature. Being PFS, I have to follow the written script, allowing the NPCs to actually act smart is verbotten.

Seeing an opening, Civetta nips at the man as he goes past.

Bite: 1d20 + 12 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 6 + 1 = 24
1d4 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 6 = 10

Once things have calmed, she continues her assault with a full attack.

Bite: 1d20 + 12 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 6 + 1 = 29
1d4 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 6 = 12

Samhain takes out the remaining guards, starting with the left one.

Manyshot: 1d20 + 14 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 6 + 1 = 38
2d8 + 18 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (1, 3) + 18 + 12 + 2 = 36

1d8 + 9 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 6 + 1 = 18

All dead now.

Hugo will wait for the group to get clear of the fallen tribesmen and channel to cure Savage and Ezrek and anyone else in the party that may have been injured.

channel: 6d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 1, 3, 1, 6) = 22 healing

Ezrek had false life going, so he doesn't need any healing, just in case that changes healing options.

Hugo will expend the channel regardless, so to save some spells.

"If Savage needs more healing, we can use a wand. Now these swinging tribesmen were not much but the noise of battle no doubt has warned any of their kin of our presence. We should proceed but with caution. "

"Caution yet haste," Samhain pipes up as he checks the fallen for anything of note before continuing down the wider path.

Sorry for being really lax with the posting. I gotten a new job at a casino and i work the graveyard shift.

Hun what just happen? Did I kill them all?

You folks take the time to top off Savage and then proceed into the next room.

The most noticeable and harrowing feature of this room is the 60-foot-tall statue of Angazhan carved into the west wall. At its feet stands a candle-laden altar, upon which a female human lies bound. Two giant murals flank the statue, painted with mud, blood, and more unmentionable substances. Like much of the rest of the cave, vines cover the ceiling, though these vines hang fifty feet or more above the ground.

In the entry way is a dire ape, and above on the vines are two more gorillas. Blocking entrance further into the cave is a blade barrier. Beyond the barrier you see another gorilla and a huge desiccated looking gorilla.

Initiative time.

bad guys init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Init: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Samhain scoffs at the animals being used for evil and fires off some blunt arrows at the one guarding the entryway attempting to knock it out.

Manyshot: 1d20 + 14 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 14 + 1 - 4 = 18
2d8 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (6, 7) + 18 + 2 = 33

1d8 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 1 = 18

Iterative: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 1 - 4 = 12
1d8 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 1 = 17

Tertiary: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 4
1d8 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 = 14

First two shots knock it out.

Then will aim at one of the ones above, though I doubt a 12 will hit it, even with Flat-footed and other penalties.

The 12 will hit one of the hanging targets.

Pleasant surprise!

Before moving into the next room, Ezrek takes a moment ot quaff his mutagen, increasing his agility and fortitude, and mixes up and drinks another barkskin extract as well as a shielding one.

Init: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Seeing Samhain fire, Ezrek drinks his greater invisibility extract and lifts into the air, moving into the chamber, about twenty feet off the ground.

Init : 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Ezrek may be a bit puzzled why he does not turn invisible. Until he recalls Hugo cast invis purge outside before entering we entered these caves.

"Abadar, bless our interchange with these apes and their cultists . "

Hugo casts blessings of fervor on the party, including owl, then backs up 20' to allow invis to take effect.

Hugo takes the +2 blessing.

Savage init 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Savage takes the Blessing of Fervor for the +2s.
Savage Runs out around the Blade Barrier in a double move, so no attack. He rages and activates CAGM.
I should have arranged it better since it is only 20' long but meh

Ezrek is 25' feet in the air.

Ezrek flies past Over? Under? Provoking. The ape attacking him and tosses a frosty bomb at the biggest ape in the room.
