Feral's PFS Special Event - Siege of the Diamond City [GM Tektite] (Inactive)

Game Master Hawkwen Agricola

Is that the same GM who just crit-grappled two people in the last encounter with a long string of natural 20s?

Don't know. Didn't happen to me. I was busy doing something else.

The party spends some time loading and firing the huge ballista as another wave come forth. This time, it's just a single individual. It appears to be a crusader! 60' away

1/5 rounds H.B.

Party up!

Belroar keeps loading the huge ballista.

Since I am falling asleep at the computer, I best go on to bed.

Mrachni continues loading the huge ballista as well, though he does attempt to study the "crusader" in more detail. They're coming from outside the walls? Are they running? Does their expression look like one of "oh noez I'm running away from something" or "I am coming to attack you"?

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Oh no, not AGAIN!
Nicolae shoots his ballista at the cruzader.
Atk: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Do I have sneak atk on this first shot?

Err... wait, what?

I am hoping I am not completetly wrong on this one. But that was actually what my chaotic neutral rogue character would do in this situation.

Barham will poke Nicolae with his wand of infernal healing on the last turn. 10 rounds of Fast Healing 1.

Barham keeps loading the massive siege ballista.

We only need two people on the big ballista, but you could reload Nicolae's since he just fired it.

Note: @Mrachni: Using Perception in Initiative is a Move action, so you can't work on the Ballista this round. Still doing that?

Nicolae fires a ballista at the man, hitting him with the shot!

4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 2, 6) = 11

Barham works on the huge ballista!

Bah! No, I'm working the big ballista. But... if the person is 60' away... can't we tell anything? Facial expression?

Belroar

Belroar helps load the big ballista.

Belroar works the big siege engine!

Mrachni works the big siege engine!

Barham casts guidance on himself.

The crusader moves straight up and makes a motion. Suddenly, Mrachni, Belroar, and Scrumpy see wounds appear on themselves!

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 DC 16 Will for half damage

2/5 rounds H.B.

Party up!

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Whew!

HP: 16/19

Mrachni growls softly and continues loading the weapon, ignoring the illusory wounds on his flesh.

B Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
S Will: 1d20 ⇒ 18

1 to each. Think it's been more than 10 rounds by now, so the scrolls of shield have worn off Barham and Scrumpy.

Scrumpy leaps at the encroaching crusader, fang and claw bared.

5-foot and Power full attack.

Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Claw 1 Confirm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Barham shifts the siege engine to aim towards the enemy, and unleashed a heavy bolt.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 -4 for firing into melee?
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 2) = 11

Probably should have done this before Scrumpy's move, but I didn't think of it until I had already made his rolls. Anyway, I'm out for the night.

Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Either 8/10 or 9/10 depending on half damage of 3

Belroar continues to work on the huge ballista.

Nicolae charges the strange cruzader stabbing him.

Mwk cold iron sword: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 2 = 18
dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

As far as I know, you always round down, Belroar.

Mrachni withstands the wounds and continues at this task!

Belroar also shakes off the wounds and continues to load the ballista!

Barham fires the smaller ballista, but misses the crusader!

Scrumpy attacks, clawing at the crusader, but only one of his strikes seems to do any damage!

Nicolae moves to flank and attacks, stabbing the man.

1d6 ⇒ 3

Attack vs Scrumpy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2) + 3 = 7

Attack vs Nicolae: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

Attack vs Nicolae: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

The crusader returns the attack in a fury, cutting Scrumpy with a scythe and biting Nicolae, leaving bleeding wounds on each!

Scrumpy and Nicolae take 1 point bleed damage each round.

Rounds 3/5 H.B.

Party up!

Nicolae's infernal healing will end the bleed damage.

Mrachni continues reloading.

I'll be around for 5-6 hours, checking every few minutes.

Belroar continues reloading, as well.

Barham & Scrumpy

Barham reloads his smaller ballista, while Scrumpy continues to tear into the false crusader.

Bite (PA, flank): 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 - 1 + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Claw (PA, flank): 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 - 1 + 2 = 9

The half-orc artillerists keep at it.

Scrumpy scratches the demon.

Nicolae cuts it down!

4/5 Round H.B.

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Son of a...
1d6 ⇒ 3

You have five rounds.

A creature approaches in the distance....

Maybe you should do all the rolling for people when they aren't here.

Who, me? I thought you didn't like my rolling?

Mrachni keeps working the big ballista. Nicolae reloads his smaller ballista. Barham uses infernal healing on Scrumpy and then casts guidance on Belroar, Nicolae and himself.

The DM of the 5 rounds of rest!

That bastard bited me! Bastard..

Heading home, probably out for about an hour, need a haircut.

Home. I'll be on for the next 4 hours or so.

I also am around.

DM, you're not waiting on us, are you?

As the crusader goes down, the half-orc continue to work the ballista, firing it once more.

The rest of the part heals and prepares for the next wave.

Round 4/5 H.B.

The is another crusader type coming toward you. He's 90' away.

Belroar keeps loading.

Mrachni keeps loading too, though he does look up and narrow his eyes suspiciously at the 'crusader'. "Careful... this one might be real?"

Okay.
Turning to the "cruzader" Nicolae shouts:
HEY YOU! HANDS UP! STAY WHERE YOU ARE OR WE WILL SHOOT!

Ready a ballista attack against the cruzader if he comes within 40ft from us.
Readied atk: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
dmg: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 4, 5) = 21

Barham likewise readies his manned ballista, while Scrumpy moves back to the wall and adopts a defensive posture.

Barham readies to attack when Nicolae does, Scrumpy adopts total defense.

Heading to bed, be back at 7AM Central

The half-orcs finish preparing the ballista and fire it again!

Nico, Barham, and Scrumpy ready for another fight!

The crusader continues closing, getting to within thirty feet.

Nico fires his ballista, but misses by mere inches!

Mrachni and Belroar continue to man the big ballista. Barham and Nicolae reload theirs, while Scrumpy charges bravely forward!

The crusader retaliates, but the eidolon evades his attacks!

Party up!

Mrachni and Belroar continue to man the siege-killer ballista. Scrumpy attacks the crusader again, then steps back to give Nicolae and Barham a clear shot.

Wait, who are you and what did you do with our Mrachni? *last roll* Oh your back!

The half-orc continue to work the siege machine!

Scrumpy attacks the demon, missing, then steps back!

Barham fires a ballista, but misses!

The creature tears into the eidolon, cutting and biting him. That either puts him at 2 hp or -6 hp, not sure if header is correct. 2 pts bleed damage.

2/5 Ballista

Party up!

He took 9 last round, so I think that puts him at -7 if he was full before this fight.

I've got to head to work now... back in 45 minutes or so.

Can I charge?

Oh, yeah. I forgot he charged. Sure Belroar, you can follow Scrumpy's example.

Nevermind, I forget I don't have a +1 BAB, so I can't draw and move.

Belroar continues to load the huge ballista

Would it bite him even if he's already down?

Mrachni keeps loading the huge ballista as well.

I'll give the others another 30-60 minutes or so.

Nicolae reloads his ballista.
