Feral's PFS Plunder and Peril (Inactive)

Game Master Feral

"Who is Him?"

Zink continues to listen for half-truths, evasions and withheld informationas Balooo questions the ahuizotl.

"An ancient sea monster. Terrible and powerful. Free me and we can flee this place together!"

"No. If you are freed you are a danger and would only hurt us."

Looks like east is the only way to go.

"Nooooooooooooooo..."

The party ventures across the other bridge and along the cliff closest to the enormous warship only to be interrupted by a crack of thunder and a bullet flying through their ranks.

1d2 ⇒ 2

Bang vs Balooo: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8
Sneak Attack: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 6, 5) = 20

High on the deck of the warship, Captain Varossa Lanteri appears. The smoke from her recently fired signature pistol coils around her face.

Balooo: 1d20 ⇒ 5
Fahd: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Melina: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Ushaka: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Zinkyudo: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Lanteri: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
???: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
???: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Tiebreaker: 2d20 ⇒ (10, 5) = 15

Zinyudo is up.

To his embarrassment, Zink lets out a surprised "Squawk!" as Lanteri opens fire. Shaking his head in disbelief, he says, "I have had it with pirates!" Raising his bow in one hand while drawing back with the other, he lets fly a flock of arrows at the two-faced captain!

Flurry with Deadly Aim, using 1 ki point (2/7) to get an extra arrow.

Flurry with Longbow, PBS, DA: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 - 2 = 27
Longbow damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 4 = 9

Flurry with Longbow, PBS, DA: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 - 2 = 27
Longbow damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 4 = 16

Flurry with Longbow, PBS, DA: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 11 - 2 = 24
Longbow damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 4 = 13

Lanteri literally hits the deck when Zinkyudo unleashes his volley but not quick enough to avoid all three arrows. She jumps to her feet and vanishes from sight for a moment only to reappear as she fires again.

Bang vs Zinkyudo (flatfooted): 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 2 = 34
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4
Sneak Attack: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 5, 6) = 14
Confirming: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 2 = 34 Wow.
Extra Damage: 3d8 ⇒ (4, 3, 5) = 12

Melina is up.

"Hey capt's - sorry to disappoint you again, but I'm setting another ship your on on fire!"

range touch, pb,range: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 - 2 = 12
fire, pb: 3d6 + 10 ⇒ (6, 5, 3) + 10 = 24 plus DC 19 fortitude save or be nauseated for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 round after leaving cloud. Cloud lasts 1 rd and fills a 10' by 10' square. Splash 12 fire, reflex DC 19 halves.

That's probably a miss, looks like it hits the corner of the ship..
1d8 ⇒ 7

Melina's bomb gets caught in the rigging and explodes a few feet from the captain. Surprisingly the warship does not catch fire. It seems the black coral that's coating its surface is an effective fire retardant.

Balooo, Fahd, Ushaka, and Zinkyudo are up.

Balooo will draw a potion of fly and drink it.

I got to work and 27 posts go by, well done everybody.

Ushaka double moves, moving around towards the landing to help prevent the Captain from fleeing.

DM, if I wanted to walk across those two rocks just to the right of where Pau is, what sort of Acrobatics (jump?) check would I need to leap from the closest rock to the ship?

Zinkyudo is shocked at how much it hurts to get shot, and curses pirates through go clenched teeth as the pain washes over him. Knowing he won't survive another such shot, he takes defensive action, stepping behind Melina and drawing on his monastic training to be ready to dodge the next shot. At the same time, he beseeches Abadar to bless his weapon, so that he may defeat the cursed pirate captain!

5-foot step behind Melina, used a ki point (3/7) for +4 dodge bonus to AC, cast Divine Favor.

Those rocks are down low toward the water. If you want to get on the ship your best bet is to make a great acrobatics check from the ledge you're on, fly, or take the long way around like Ushaka.

Fahd is up.

Assuming Fahd's mutagen is still active (which I think it should be), he has 40' movement, so he will double move a total of 80' the long way around, like Ushaka is doing.

If someone could move me, that would be great. Thanks.

The captain vanishes again. She reappears a few feet from her last location and fires on Melina.

Bang vs Melina (flatfooted): 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7
Sneak Attack: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 5, 4) = 16

Melina is up.

Pirate ninja?

Melina staggers, but manages to stay on her feet. She throws another bomb, this time her hand steadier...

range touch, pb: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 - 2 = 24
fire, pb: 3d6 + 10 ⇒ (1, 6, 5) + 10 = 22 plus DC 19 fortitude save or be nauseated for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 round after leaving cloud. Cloud lasts 1 rd and fills a 10' by 10' square.

...and then quickly falls to the ground, seeking what little protection she can find.

Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Melina's bomb hits this time but the captain resists the poison gas left behind.

Further up the deck, Fahd and Ushaka spot a woman dressed in long rotted leathers armed with a curved knife and a large red clockwork arm. Black coral seems to have spread itself across half of her body and most of her face.

Balooo, Fahd, Ushaka, and Zinkyudo are up.

Ushaka shouts back "We found RedClaw, there's something wrong with her though... Also stop getting shot!"

Zink shoots lots of arrows!

Perfect strike on first shot, ki point for extra arrow.

Flurry with Longbow, PBS, DA, DF: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 2 + 3 = 21
Longbow damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 4 + 3 = 17

Flurry with Longbow, PBS, DA, DF: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 11 - 2 + 3 = 13
Longbow damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 4 + 3 = 16

Flurry with Longbow, PBS, DA, DF: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 11 - 2 + 3 = 27
Longbow damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 4 + 3 = 12

Flurry with Longbow, PBS, DA, DF: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 2 + 3 = 15
Longbow damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 4 + 3 = 18

Fahd double moves yet again to close with Red Claw.

Zinkyudo manages to hit Lanteri with another arrow leaving her bloodied but somehow still on her feet. As she turns her head to reload her pistol he spots a thick black barb protruding from the back of her neck and what looks like black coral spreading across her shoulders.

Balooo is up.

Balooo starts inspiring rage and flies at the captain.

NM, going after Redclaw.

The captain does her disappearing trick again and fires on Melina.

Bang vs Melina (flatfooted, vs prone): 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 2 - 2 - 4 = 13
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5
Sneak Attack: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 5, 6) = 21

And the bullet just barely whizzes past her head.

Melina is up.

Melina jumps back onto her feet, palms another bomb throws it. This time, she doesn't bother with the brimstone, using just smoke instead.

range touch, pb,range: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 - 2 = 10
fire, pb: 3d6 + 10 ⇒ (3, 6, 4) + 10 = 23 plus smoke cloud for 6 rounds.
1d8 ⇒ 5 bounces too far for splash on the miss

The bomb completely goes astray, but does swallow a fair portion of the back of the ship in fire The tiefling then dives for groundcover again.

The warship rocks and groans as something heavy scales its side. The newcomer emerges over the top of deck's railing, revealing itself to be an unsightly mass of barbed tentacles, ringed by numerous inhuman eyes.

The monster lashes out at Fahd with a tentacle.

Tentacle: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

The tentacle's kiss only hurts a little but it leaves a barbed stinger in Fahd's flesh that seems to dig deeper with every movement the brawler makes.

Fahd needs to make a DC 19 fortitude save or take 2 dexterity drain. He'll need to make this save every turn until the barb is removed. Removing the barb is a standard action DC 19 heal check and whether the check succeeds or not the victim takes another 1d8 damage for each attempt.

Ushaka is up.

Ushaka points at the new tentacled monster and yells down to his companions still on shore "Stop getting shot and hurry it up! We've got real trouble up here."

Ushaka takes the long way around, going under the flying Baloo, and challenges the strange creature before stabbing at it.

stabby: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24 -1 if it is an animal or plant.
damage: 1d10 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9

Fort save 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Dex Drain? Good Lord!

Fahd takes a 5' step toward the tentacled beast, and swings away at it.

Rage Attack with Mutagen and Rage 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 22
Damage with Mutagen and Rage 1d8 + 5 + 2 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 20

Rage Attack with Mutagen 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 19
Damage with Mutagen and Rage 1d8 + 5 + 2 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 15

Rage Attack with Mutagen 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 16
Damage with Mutagen and Rage 1d8 + 5 + 2 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 18

Cough*Accept Inspiring Rage*Cough

Does Inspiring Rage effect your Fort save? I had it last round and have it this round, so if it does apply, I should have that bonus too.

Yes, you get +2 STR/+4 CON/+2 WILL and -1 ac so your Fort save should be 2 higher.

It is not animal, plant, or vegetable.

Ushaka stabs the bizarre monster but its spongy flesh proves very durable.

The coral-plated Redclaw shambles toward Fahd. She snaps at him with her signature red claw and then swipes with her sword.

Claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Sword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Fahd, Balooo, and Zinkyudo are up.

Fahd has a hard time landing a blow on the tentacled horror. One punch hits the thing squarely and he seems to get its attention.

Balooo and Zinkyudo are up.

Balooo steps forward and throws a pair of punches at the tentacled beast.

Rage, Power Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 3 - 2 = 12
1d6 + 4 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 3 + 4 = 14
Rage, Power Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 3 - 2 = 28
1d6 + 4 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 3 + 4 = 14

Having reached his capacity for piracy tolerance, Zinkyudo continues firing on Captain Lanteri.

Flurry with Longbow, PBS, DA, DF: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 2 + 3 = 14
Longbow damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 4 + 3 = 19

Flurry with Longbow, PBS, DA, DF: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 11 - 2 + 3 = 30
Longbow damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 4 + 3 = 19

Flurry with Longbow, PBS, DA, DF: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 11 - 2 + 3 = 22
Longbow damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 4 + 3 = 17

Flurry with Longbow, PBS, DA, DF: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 11 - 2 + 3 = 17
Longbow damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 4 + 3 = 18

One of the arrows hits the woman in the throat. Silently, she collapses on the deck of the ship.

Melina is up.

Melina leaps to her feet cramps an elixir or expeditious retreat. She doesn't bother to wipe away the excess that crawls down her face

The tentacled monstrosity lashes out at Fahd and Balooo.

Tentacle vs Fahd: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Tentacle vs Fahd: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Tentacle vs Balooo: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Tentacle vs Balooo: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Each time a tentacle brushes them a pulsing stinger is left in its wake.

Fahd and Balooo both have two stingers in them now. For each one make a DC 19 fortitude save or take 2 dex drain.

Ushaka is up.

Fort save with Rage 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 = 19
Fort save with Rage 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 = 17

2 Dex drain on Fahd should lower his AC by one, if I am figuring right. Combine that with his raging and his current AC should be 19.

Oh, I forgot to mention: Each time you fail a save you also take a little extra damage from the barbs digging into you.

Fahd Extra Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Fort: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Fort: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25

Ushaka stabs and smashes at the tentacled horror

Stabbity: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
Piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Smashity: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

I think those both hit. I'll check the AC when I get home.

The coral-plated Redclaw steps into the flank and swings at Fahd.

Claw: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 2 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Sword: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Fahd, Balooo, and Zinkyudo are up.

Fahd keeps attacking the tentacled beast, knowing he couldn't stand much more punishment.

Rage Attack with Mutagen and Rage 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 33
Damage with Mutagen and Rage 1d8 + 5 + 2 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 14

Rage Attack with Mutagen 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 14
Damage with Mutagen and Rage 1d8 + 5 + 2 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 16

Rage Attack with Mutagen 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 13
Damage with Mutagen and Rage 1d8 + 5 + 2 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 + 4 + 1 = 20

Possible crit on first attack 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
Damage 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Fahd hits the monster again. How wounded it is remains impossible to tell.

Balooo, Melina, and Zinkyudo are up.

jump: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27

With magic hastening her steps, Melina runs forward and leaps - flying through the air ungracefully but effectively. She quickly snaps off a bomb at the large monster.

range touch, pb: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 - 2 = 10
fire, pb: 3d6 + 10 ⇒ (4, 6, 5) + 10 = 25 plus DC 19 fortitude save or be nauseated for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 round after leaving cloud. Cloud lasts 1 rd and fills a 10' by 10' square. Green circle is a cloud.

I would like to use my shirt reroll to ensure the bomb hits, although I would guess it is large enough that will hit anyways
range touch, pb: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 10 - 2 + 3 = 27

Melina then drops to the deck again!

Power Attack, Rage: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
1d6 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Power Attack, Rage: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
1d6 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

The explosive from Melina's bomb hurts the monster but the poison gas left behind seems to have no effect on it and Balooo struggles to land a solid punch on the squirming mass of tentacles.

Zinkyudo gets some running room and jumps for the deck of the ship!

Jump!: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

Aided by his tiny vestigial wings, the aasimar clears the gap and sticks the landing.

The monster lashes out the party again!

Tentacle vs Fahd (flank): 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 14 + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Tentacle vs Fahd: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 14 + 2 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Tentacle vs Ushaka: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Tentacle vs Ushaka: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Fahd now has three stingers, Ushaka has one, and Balooo has two. For each stinger make the DC 19 fortitude save or take 2 dexterity drain and 1d6 damage.

Ushaka is up.

Fort: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
Fort: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Balooo shrugs off the effects of the stingers.

Hi, I'm a knowledge check on what this monster is. 1d20 ⇒ 10 +17 if nature. +15 religion

Fort save with Rage 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 2 = 29
Fort save with Rage 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 2 = 22
Fort save with Rage 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 2 = 18

Damage 1d6 ⇒ 1

Lol, not looking good for the home team right now!
