Feast of Ravenmoor [July 2016] (Inactive)

Game Master Tesi

Eramos attempts another grab
grapple: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Watching the two men, Elris shakes his head slightly and shouts at the, "You're going to let the little pig beat you two?! Try harder, so I don't have to jump in and muddy myself!" Chuckling after the last statement he turns to Puk and Teena, "Those two seem to be enjoying this quite a bit, don't you think?"

People cheers and laughs and makes jokes at Mykel, while Eramos tackles the scared pig.

The beast tries to scape!

Scape Artist: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

The greased pig squeals free... His snorts seem taunting to Eramos and Mykel.

The crowd laughs again!

Frustrated, Eramos wipes off the mud and muk, looks over to Mykel with a smile."Friend, I think we have been bested"

He then moves out of the pit and back to Fey and his gear. "Well that was fun"

The people won't let you out. One man points out,

"Come on stranger! The more dust on the pig, easier to grab! Throw some dust at it!"

Looks like we have some work to do... Mykel grabs some dirt in his hands and throws it in the pig as he lunges at it.cmb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

"All right, all right" Eramos raises his hands to appease the crowd.

Reminds me of my gladiatorial days

Eramos follows suit and attempts to grab the pig again.
grapple: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Mykel manages to cover part of the animal in dirt, helping Eramos to grab George. Your ears fill with squeals and cheers.

Scape Artist: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Mykel tries to help Eramos to pin the pig down.

Grapple Mykel: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 4 = 11 Mykel helps Eramos.

Grapple Eramos: 1d20 + 2 + 2 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 2 + 7 = 17

Eramos manages to pin the pig down. The stress of the situation causes the pig to collapse and die of fright. The body of the pig starts to shake. Suddenly, an additional pair of legs sprout from its body and its eyes turn pitch black with no visible whites, while a number of flytraplike jaws sprout from its back. One of these jaws is large enough to snap and bite at foes. The monster’s gurgling shrieks sound disturbingly like a crying baby rather than a pig, and it immediately attacks the nearest foe, Eramos.

ATTACK Piggeh Monster BITE on Eramos: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

FORT Save ERAMOS: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

The villagers react to the monster appearance with fear and disgust, some of them run away in fear, their shrieks added to those of the monster.

As initiative shows, TURN 1:
Mykel is up,
Monster,
Elris,
Teena,
Feybella,
Puk,
Eramos.

I'll post my action to keep things going quick. Because of Deadeye Bowman, I can ignore one creature from being a source of cover from my ranged attacks. Also, boo, no planes knowledges yet....

"What in the hells is that thing?! This one doesn't seem like pet material to me, so the two of you get out of there!" The elf shouts as he brings his bow from shoulder and fires off an arrow towards the creature.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 +1 if 30ft or less damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 +1 if 30ft or less

Mykel draws his blade and swings at the beast.

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 281d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

luckily i still have my sword....setting up a party riposte if attacked

crit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 112d8 + 8 ⇒ (2, 8) + 8 = 18
parry: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

riposte: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 171d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

what in the hells is that!

Will Save ELRIS: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Elris is sickened and takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

Although the archer can barely cope with the stench of the beast, the arrow hit its mark.

Mykel slashes the beast, while it is biting Eramos.

ATTACK Piggeh Monster BITE on Eramos: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Thanks for keeping track GM,I'll take it from here. ANd plus i have to adjust my stats due to me removing my armor.

Free action"Fey, Grab my sword"

Teena casts a Magic Missile at the pig monster.

Damage 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Will Save Teena: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Teena looks at the monster while casting, becoming sickened.

Monstruous Piggeh!

Faybella runs to the edge of the pit with Eramos' sword. She tries to hand it to him at the edge. "Eramos! Here!" Faybella yells while leaning out over the mud pit.

Know Planes: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

I'm not sure how far I was and my speed is 20. I'll run, double move whatever to get the sword to Eramos'. If I have a standard action left, I'll cast bless.

@Fey: You will have to double move with all the people running around like headless chickens. The bad news is that Eramos has to move 10 feet to get to the side of the ring and grab his blade, creating an AoO.

Will Save Feybella: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Mykel,
(-24Hp) Monster,
Elris [sickened],

30/48 Eramos

Mykel tries to distract the pig, allowing Eramos to get his weapon.

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 111d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

here, bacon....come here, bacon! I'm gonna make sausages out of you!

doing a parrt /riposte uf i get attacked

parry: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

riposte: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 181d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Mykel misses the spot, and the beast continues attacking its target...

ATTACK Piggeh Monster BITE on Eramos: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Damage on Eramos: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
FORT Save Eramos: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Eramos becomes infested by a quickly growing, semi-animate tangles of fungal growths, becoming now ENTANGLED.

ENTANGLED: The character is ensnared. Being entangled impedes movement, but does not entirely prevent it unless the bonds are anchored to an immobile object or tethered by an opposing force. An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) or lose the spell.

18/48 Eramos (Turn 1)

This action is after Eramos.
Elris attempts to fire off another shot into the creature, the pains in his stomach drawing away his focus slightly.

attack: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 - 2 = 13
damage: 1d8 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 - 2 = 8

"Foul creature, begone!"

Eramos will fight defensively with unarmed attacks.
Free action entering rage. Power attack with furious focus. Unarmed attack. Entangled.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20includes all penalties
damage: 1d3 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11nonlethal

@Eramos: +9 to attack? Even being penalized because of entanglement and fight defensively? You have +10 attack when raged with your +1 weapon... Things do not add up or maybe my math is wrong, so I would love to see the numbers.
Anyways, it is a hit even with that -6 malus, and since you have no improved unarmed strike, you create an attack of opportunity.

The animal bites Eramos back.

ATTACK Piggeh Monster BITE on Eramos: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

[ooc]I apologize, i forgot to erase fighting defensively. I figured it was pointless. So i decided against it, i was already at 8 with all the negatives.

[i]Thank the Gods for that girl[/]

move action to grab the sword from fey. five foot and attack

greatsword+rage-entangled+power attack(no penalty on first attack): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
damage: 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (5, 4) + 13 = 22

Feybella moves to Eramos with his sword, and holds it out so he can take it. She'll touch him with her other hand and cast Cure Light Wounds. "Hold on Eramos. I'm coming."

I believe you said he was 10 feet from me last round. I have 20 feet of movement so I think I can get to him and avoid the piggey.

CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Eramos...5ft step so we can flank it

Fey what is the DC vs you CLW.Superstitious
will save vs CLW: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 I think I failed after looking over you stat block.Yes!!!

Should be 15

Teena uses her second magic missile of the day.

Damage 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

posting my next action so I don't slow things down....

Mykel shifts to his left, catching the swine between him and the raging Ulfen warrior. He slashes at the beast, trying to fell it before it drops his colleague.

attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 2 = 221d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

and parry/riposte if it decides to change targets

parry: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 = 17

riposte: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 = 171d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

not sure if flank applies to the riposte. but added it in anyways...just in case

MAP

Superstition does not work like that: you get a +2 Morale Will Save bonus when you rage. If you are superstitious you get an extra +1 every 4 levels, not the regular +2, then another +2 and then the +1 per having 4 levels. Your will modifier is +6 when raging.

As we can see in the map, Feybella is inside the ring now, she casted CLW on the mighty barbarian who is driven by a state of frenzied rage.

Although his muscles bulge with an inhuman strenght, his swing misses the target. On the other hand, Mykel slashes the pig again.

The pig squeals loudly, biting Eramos again.

ATTACK Piggeh Monster BITE on Eramos: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
DAMAGE on Eramos: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
CRITICAL CONFIRMATION on Eramos: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
CRITICAL DAMAGE on Eramos: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

The monster looks really angry, its multiple mouths snapping at the pathfinders.

according to the rage and rage power section in pathfinder unchained. The rage benefits does not list what type a bonus it is so lets go with moral. The type of bonus under superstition is competence which stacks with the morale.

While in a rage, a barbarian gains a +2 bonus on melee attack rolls, melee damage rolls, thrown weapon damage rolls, and Will saving throws.

PRD wrote on Unchained barbarian wrote:

Superstition (Ex): The barbarian gains a +2 competence bonus on saving throws made to resist spells and spell-like abilities. This bonus increases by 1 for every 4 levels the barbarian has. The barbarian cannot be the willing target of any spell and must attempt saving throws to resist all spells, even those cast by allies.

nothing in the texts says it replaces or does not stack with the will save from the rage. I still failed the save either way.

Still raging
"I have had enough of this breakfeast side dish"

attack+greatsword+rage+flank+power attack(no penalty due to furious focus-entangled
attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 23

damage: 2d6 + 5 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 5 + 2 + 6 = 20

than as a move action I will use intimidating glare rage power
intimidate to demoralize: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 if it is a success, the thing is shaken for the rest of my rage.

Hopefully we finish this thing off soon. I don't know how much more I can take

From Unchained Barbarian
Rage
(...)While in a rage, a barbarian gains a +2 morale bonus on melee attack rolls, melee damage rolls, thrown weapon damage rolls, and Will saving throws. In addition, she takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class.

Superstition (Ex)
Benefit: The barbarian gains a +2 morale bonus on saving throws made to resist spells, supernatural abilities, and spell-like abilities. This bonus increases by +1 for every 4 levels the barbarian has attained. While raging, the barbarian cannot be a willing target of any spell and must make saving throws to resist all spells, even those cast by allies.

Both bonus are MORALE, so only ONE stacks: the higher one.

according to my copy of pathfinder unchained and the PRD, the rage bonus is untyped and the superstition bonus is competence. they do not stack. The superstition you are referencing is out of the original printing. Pathfinder PRD Unchained Barbarian

Allright.

DM, I jumped the gun and made my post for this round early. I magic missile'd for 3 damage. My bad..I could hae sworn I was up then, lol.

Don't worry Teena.

Faybella pulls out her wand of Cure Light Wounds. She taps Eramos on the back of his knee with it a little harder than she intended, but hopefully not enough to distract him. "It's a wand of cure light wounds. Don't fall. I don't want that thing in my face."

Wand CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Eramos Resist Spell: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

The spell fizzles.

MAP

I already posted my actions for this round above, it ended up in the shaded text. I can re submit if you would like.

I'm confused why the spell failed. Even casting at first level the saving throw would be at least 11 (10+1). I could be thinking about this wrong tough. The save is for half.

OMG I was half asleep. Sorry. Really sorry.

The spell works.

The monster falls lifeless to the ground.

Shocked fathers hug their terrified families, everyone in the grounds is really scared about what just happened, you hear sobs and cries of women and children. The silence is almost unbearable. A group of townspeople uses sparto bags to transport the monster and burn it in the bonfire.

After 10 minutes in the fire, everyone realizes that the beast is fire resistant, they decide to throw it to the river.

When the monster is out of sight the musicians starts to play again and gradually, the spirits are up again...

Mayor Kriegler comes to you and bows humbly.

“Thank you. That beast. That horror." the man shudders "We get things like this around here now and then—there’s bad magic in the ground here that the Dream Tender normally protects us from, but now and then, animals get the badness in them.”

You have some time now to lick your wounds, pathfinders

Mykel goes over to help Eramos into a chair. You took quite a beating there, friend. I'm glad your anger fueled your will to live. I have no idea what that monstrosity was. Anyone have an idea?

He turns to the mayor after his explanation.

Dream Tender? What in the blazes is that? I have never heard of one. there are some answers we want....

I guess Fey uses her wand to heal Eramos again. The thing is: he has to remain enraged in order to not fall unconscious... Maybe Eramos wants to drop to the dirt so that his Superstition don't interfere with the healing. Since the chances of resisting the spell are (really) high (75%), I assume he rather drop than keep wasting raging rounds and charges from the wand.

Assuming this:

CLW Wand on Eramos: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW Wand on Eramos: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW Wand on Eramos: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
CLW Wand on Eramos: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW Wand on Eramos: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4(23 out of 48)
CLW Wand on Eramos: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW Wand on Eramos: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW Wand on Eramos: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW Wand on Eramos: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2(35 out of 48)
CLW Wand on Eramos: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
CLW Wand on Eramos: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8(Eramos is totally patched)

13 charges spent during this fight.

The mayor looks at you and nods. He shouts the following to the rest of the townsfolk.

"The dusk approaches, and the feast is about to begin. Our guests will dine with us, and listen to the stories the maidens will tell." he bows again "I would be humbled if you joined me and the council in the main table."

Mykel notices how our beautiful Shel Lupescu is staring at him, with a daydream expression in her face. When Mykel looks at her, she blushes, giggles and turns away, looking really nervous.

The rest of the townsfolk are preparing the main feast, setting more tables and chairs for everyone to sit.

Yep I'll drop unconscious for a while. And fey can use my wand charges and not hers.

The beast finally slain, Eramos relaxes and then crashes to the dirt. When he finally wakes up he is tired for the next minute and he slowly puts his breast plate and spiked gauntlet on.

"That could have ended badly"

Ok: 2 charges were used during the fight, 11 afterwards, feel free to use whichever wand anytime. You used 3 rounds of rage, as far as I recall.

Several people starts to bring huge plates of food...

"Black mushrooms, grown with special care in the Chenowitz farm..." says the folk who brings the food...

"We have fried Mushfen silkworm pupae served on wooden platters. These crispy, deep-fried insects are served with a small dish of ground caraway seeds and salt, and have a crunchy, chewy texture. You should try this!"

The mayor smiles and starts to eat, taking this as a signal, so does the rest of the townsfolk. The weaver, the trader and the ferryman are also on the table. You notice an empty chair next to the mayor.

"I provided those silkworms! They taste so nice!"

A small boy brings a plate full of insect legs.

"Smoked tick legs, careful, they're boiling hot!"

Mayor looks at you.

"These are juicy! Much like boiled crabs served in coastal towns. We smoke them first, then boil them."

All the diners use small, two-pronged forks to tear apart the outer shell to get at the soft meat inside.

A woman approaches the table with several bowls of salad.

"Green salad. Unfortunately our variety is a bit sour, but I guess you are well traveled strangers, so we wont be mad if you don't eat it." says the weaver "It is one of the few things I can eat without fearing loosing a teeth, y'know?" winks at Teena and Fey "I guess they are too old to bite certain things!" she chuckles and shrugs.

The ferryman face lights up when the next plate arrives

"Oh! This is our most popular delicacy, stirge blood sausages!!" the man serves a couple of steamy sausages on his plate "I bet you don't eat these in Magnimar!" the man says with a toothy grin "The secret is plucking them fresh from blood-drained oxen and their abdomens pinched and twisted off." rolls eyes, almost drooling.

The sausages smell of spices and rye berries.

The trader gives Mykel some silent glares, measuring the man, shifting unconfortably on his chair, nodding to himself.

"It should have been me in there. You certainly saved me. Maybe I was mistaken, strangers. Accept my apologies..."

Sweet lord, updating from the phone is really challenging!
State your actions, intentions, conversations, etc.

Mykel looks around at the choices for food. He nibbles at a variety so as not to offend the townsfolk. He washes down the eclectic meal with zome ale. He notices the merchant and offers his hand.

It's all in the past. It was scary for a while in there, I won't lie...

The tradesman nods at you and shakes your hand.

"You have nice taste." munches on a tick leg, then sucks it "When it comes to food... My daughter is out of bounds!"

The tone in his voice does not reveal if he is serious or not.

"And by the way, nice fighting style... Where did you learn to use a weapon like that?" the tradesman points at your falcata.

Sorry, my phone broke two days ago, and this is the first I've been able to check on my kindle. Good job everyone!

Looking about at the good, Elris gladly takes a salad with some ale, and sets off to eat, while keeping an eye on everyone from the town. It seems a bit fishy to him as how jovial the mayor was, and the rest of the town, after the fight.

Just for clarification. I cast CLW the first time because my hand was full of really big for a gnome greatsword. I'll put down one charge from my wand and let Eramos' use the rest from his.

Faybella looks at the stirge sausage. They keep them as pets and eat them? She takes small bites of everything. Some of it is easier to keep down than others. "To new experiences." she toasts.

She asks the mayor, What bad magic and who or what is the Dream Tender?

Teena has the same questions as Feybella, but her mouth was too full of the various offered dishes to ask them. After seeing nothing ill happen to the others earlier, Teena was reminded how famished she was.

Well, I am sure you have a big job keeping suitors away from your daughter. Anyways, my sword. My uncles taught me the art of swordplay after my father got seriously hurt and couldn't pass on his expertise. They took me to a proper swordmaster after I learned all they could teach me. My father and my uncles beamed with pride when I came back after my teachings and wanted to make my name as a Pathfinder....I hope to make them proud.

He leans in closer...
What is this Dream Tender?
