GM Bold Strider's PFS 00-05 Mists of the Mwangi (Inactive)

Game Master rpblue

Prothero stands, rooted in place, struggling to fight off the sickness of the vargouilles.

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Prothero: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 1, 2) = 11

As a bard I have "• WELL-VERSED: The bard has a +4 save bonus vs. bardic performance, sonic, and language-dependent abilities. (PFCR 38)." - does that help 'unstuck' me?

heal: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Kyra, hearing the shriek, her body stiffens and is frozen in fear. She sees the grotesque floating head in front if her. Even unable to move she knows what it is...very bad. She sees it kiss Prothero. Then she sees it come towards her, unable to do anything she feels its slimy tentacles and "lips" grace her flesh.

You're a bard? O.o Yeah, you would be unparalyzed and the creature would have to do something different.

Retcon: Kyra "kissed" by the ghastly beast.
Fortitude save against poison!

I prefer the term 'Bardbarian' or 'Rockstar' ;p

Wizzy can take 10 on planes for a 28..

Wizzy will start hsi countersong to break the Vargouille's paralyzing attack..

Perform Check: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17 You all may use this instead of you normal save.. Even with a 1 I believe a 17 will break them out of it.. Correct me if im wrong..

In spite of his paralysis, Prothero manages to writhe in pain as the vargouille's toxins course through him.

Will wait for a ruling on Wizz's action, to see if Prothero can do anything.

Status: 8/19 hp

I don't think that Countersong affects the Vargouille Shriek. It only affects magical abilites with the language-dependant and sonic descriptors. Shriek has neither.

Countersong: "... Any creature within 30 feet of the bard (including the bard himself) that is affected by a sonic or language-dependent magical attack..."

Is it sonic as a descriptor or do they just mean sonic as in audible? For example, the Harpy's Captivating Song states "This is a sonic mind-affecting charm effect.", but the Vargouille's has no such language. I'm inclined to lean toward it needing to be stated as a sonic attack. Thoughts?

Sounds like a fear based effect...

Giradoux takes one look at the floating heads, shakes his head and says "That's it. I vote we burn this place down." Steps forward and swings with all his might at the nearest one.

ATTACK THE FOUL GREEN DOT MINION OF THE DEVIL!!!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
DAMAGE?: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Odd, my post I swear posted now its not here...!? Anyhow, added dots for reference.

Blackjack swings then steps back.

Attack on Red
Attack 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
Damage 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Thats fine, i wasnt sure myself.. Ill retcon..

Wizzy will instead start his inspire courage.. So thats +3 hit/dam, +2 saves vs fear, +1 vs charm currently.. It will augment the others attacks since he went before them..

Nice, can I add those to my rolls please? ;p

There's always active a +1hit/dam/saves vs charm via my flag bonus.. It increases to the above when i use inspire courage.

Noted!

There's always active a +1hit/dam/saves vs charm via my flag bonus.. It increases to the above when i use inspire courage.

There is no way that can stack is there? (Otherwise I have a combat bard who might need to steal some character ideas from you :D)

The Flag bonus is a Morale, Inspire is a circ bonus on the hit/dam so yes it stacks..

Alright, I'm back! Sorry for the delay!

Giradoux swings his bastard sword in a mighty arc, but the creature easily dodges. Blackjack's sword, however, lands with a sickening slash against it.

The Vargouilles move into flanking position and begin to bite the intruders. #Green attacks before #Orange moves.

Bite @ Blackjack-19 AC: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 = 21
Bite @ Blackjack-19 AC: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 = 16

Wizzy moves up and tap Prothero with his cure wand.. He continues his inspire as well.

Cure Light: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Prothero remains rooted in place, eyes moving about as he watches his companions attempt to destroy the vargouilles. He feels healing energies strengthen him, but not enough to allow him to move.

Status: 10/19 hp

Blackjack kills the Vargouille outright while Giradoux severely wounds the beast.

The three Vargouilles attack the bird-like humanoid.

Total Damage:
Giradoux: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5
Two Fortitude Saves - Giradoux; Poison

The Vargouille that Giradoux slashed with his bastard sword falls unconscious on the floor, tentacles slowly stopping their abyssal writhing.

3rd Round:
1st: Giradoux @ 34 HP (CW: 4); Rowles
2nd: Vargouille (#Green / #Orange)
3rd: Prothero - @ 10 HP; Disease (5, 3, 1, 2); Floggentop; Blackjack @ 44 HP (CW: 4); Kyra

Just curious but what is the (5, 3, 1, 2) behind Prothero mean?

Wizzy will cast Saving Finale on Giradoux allowing him anther save vs the one he failed.. With Lingering Performance his inspire will continue for 2 more rounds.

On his turn he'll heal Prothero again..

Heal: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

GM tracking.

Prothero finally shakes off the paralysis afflicting him. He takes a quick step away from the creatures and fires two arrows at one of them.

5-foot step, flurry at green.

Flurry with Longbow, PBS, Inspired: 1d20 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 3 = 12

Crit damage: 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (2, 2) + 12 = 16

Status: 15/19 hp

Wizz - The numbers after my HP relate to the onset of the vargouille's disease. I think the first is how many hours until all of Prothero's hair falls out (fortunately he's already bald), then worse things begin to happen.

Lol.. Hopefully we'll be out before you have to suffer that..

Kyra made her heal check so basically after 11 hours Prothero will become a Vargoiule himself and he will be dead

Kyra, slowly begins to feel sensation in her limbs. Her bones ache slightly from being stuck in place, but she feels much better being able to move again. She looks at Prothero, and sees his physical wounds are bit serious. She walk up to one of the ugly beasts, and tries to smash it to bits.

orange: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 71d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

One of Prothero's arrows land while Floggentop heals him. Kyra's scimitar misses wildly on the second Vargouille.

3rd Round:
1st: Giradoux @ 34 HP (CW: 4); Rowles
2nd: Vargouille (#Green @ 13 damage / #Orange)
3rd: Prothero - @ 15 HP; Disease (5, 3, 1, 2); Floggentop; Blackjack @ 44 HP (CW: 4); Kyra

Blackjack maintains his attack...

Attack on Orange
Flag bonus, Power attack

Attack 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 = 10
Damage 1d10 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 13 + 1 = 21

...not his day though.

With a fierce gutteral roar, Rowles dives into combat and attacks the orange dot nearest enemy he can reach.

BASTARD SWORD OF DOOM!!!: 1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 3 = 12
ANNOYED EIDOLON DAMAGE!!: 1d10 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 3 = 20

Fortitude: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Fortitude: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Giradoux lets out a sigh as his eidolon finally gets back into action "You know Rowles, next time you need a nap, feel free to let me know!"

Attacking Green Dot
Attack!: 1d20 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 3 = 11
Damage!: 1d10 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 3 = 22

Giradoux and Blackjack miss their targets.

The Vargouilles keep up their attacks on the birdman.

Bite: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 2 = 19

Fortitude Save; Poison

3rd Round:
1st: Giradoux @ 33 HP (CW: 8); Rowles
2nd: Vargouille (#Green @ 13 damage / #Orange)
3rd: Prothero - @ 15 HP; Disease (5, 3, 1, 2); Floggentop; Blackjack @ 44 HP (CW: 4); Kyra

Wizzy will 5' step into a potential flanking position and attempt to aid another on Giradoux..

Aid: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 vs DC 10, Success! Giradoux will recieve a +4 to hit on his next attack via helpful trait.. and an additional +2 should he decide to flank the thing..

Still somewhat shaky from the effects of the vargouille's poison, Prothero takes a step away and launches two more arrows at his target.

Five-foot step, flurry at Green.

Flurry with Longbow, PBS, Inspired: 1d20 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 3 = 15
Longbow damage, Inspired: 1d8 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 3 = 8

Flurry with Longbow, PBS, Inspired: 1d20 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 3 = 13
Longbow damage, Inspired: 1d8 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 3 = 7

Kyra, again takes a swing at the enemy.

scimitar: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 131d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

5 ft steps for Giradoux for flanking with Wizzy & Rowles for flanking with Kyra

Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Tumbling around his enemy Giradoux lets out a hearty laugh, "These bites are the most you can do to slow me down?"

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, HIT ALREADY!!!: 1d20 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 = 26
+5 from char, +4 from helpful, THANKS WIZZY!!!, + 3 from Lingering Perfomance (1 rnd left), + 2 from flanking... have I meantioned that Wizzy is my hero???
Damage? Please??: 1d10 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 3 = 18

"I Swear I wasn't taking a nap, Master. These putrid creatures have some foul magic that causes those lulled by their songs to fear." Said Rowles as he took another swing at one of the floating heads

Well, I'm pretty sure Giradoux Hit, lets try for a two-fer: 1d20 + 6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 3 + 2 = 16
Please more damage!: 1d10 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 3 = 25

I built him as a helper and knowledge guy.. At that he succeeds greatly.. If it ever comes to him having to fight most likely he's running lol..

I built him as a helper and knowledge guy.. At that he succeeds greatly.. If it ever comes to him having to fight most likely he's running lol..

So.... you're pretty much like The Doctor, only pint sized and with a banner instead of a sonic screwdriver...

Blackjack tries again...

Attack 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 = 10
Damage 1d10 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 1 = 19

Really dicebot?

Blackjack swings mightly, but misses, while Giradoux and Rowles finish off the vargouilles, their essence screaming in pained anguish as the masks shatter against the floor. A dark mist escapes from the masks upon breaking and it melds back into the mist floating around the museum.

Upon investigation of the room, they see nothing of value to their search, but plenty of value to the general public, sadly their orders are to avoid stealing from the Blakros's. When Prothero gets close to the southern door, he hears a loud cackling coming from inside.

Wizzy pulls his wand and heals Giradoux and Blackjack.. And 1 tap for Prothero as well..

Gira: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (7, 7) + 2 = 16
Black: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Pro: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

He also casts Heroism on Giradoux and Blackjack, lasts 50mins, before moving on.. +2 Morale to hit, saves, skills..

As the vargouilles crash to the floor, Prothero drops his head in relief, saying, "I don't feel well at all. That very first bite did something to me. Does anyone know what the vargouille's poison does?"

He thanks Wizzy for healing his injuries, but still feels awful inside. When he reaches the southern exit from the room, he describes what he hears in the room beyond, then steps aside to let others lead the way.

@Floggentop: Need a DC 20 caster level check for each heal on Blackjack and Giradoux to heal their cursed wounds. Blackjack has 4 cursed wounds and Giradoux has 8

It was from a wand wo need 19s and 20s..

3d20 ⇒ (13, 16, 2) = 31

Wizzy looks at his wand as it does nothing but make a "poof" noise when he attempts to heal his comrades.. "Well I guess my wand is broken.."

Upon hearing Prothero's request for information, he sighs and shakes her head. She looks at the man directly in his eyes, her eyes showing sadness and states simply, Their disease causes you to become one of them my friend. I haven't witnessed such a fate, but had heard stories. Direct sunlight will halt this fate, but if left untreated you will die and become one of them. I do not have the means to help you, lest I gladly would. Your fate will happen between 4-24 hours

She lets her unfortunate words sink in, then looks to everyone, Let us complete out mission. The sooner we are done the sooner we can treat this disease

Kyra watches on, as Fizzy's wand cannot penetrate the vargoiule's rotten saliva. She ensures that all the enemies are fully dead, then tells all to gather round and be basked in the light of the sun goddess.

channel 2/5: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 5) + 4 = 13
poison check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Looking at Prothero, Giradoux says "You said there were odd noises over here, eh? Well, there's only one fix for that"

Nodding at both Rowles and Blackjack, Giradoux walks to the north side of the door, waits for Rowles to walk directly in front of the door, then takes out his Rod of Lesser Extend, casts a spell extended haste (10 rounds) on Giradoux, Rowles, Prothero, Blackjack, and Kyra and waits for Rowles to enter the room.

round 1 of 10.

Rowles opens the door after waiting for his companions spell to take effect and sees ... ... ...
Perception!: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Insert GM wording here/if an ambush, Rowles still has his standard action to chew bubblegum/kick butt... and he's all out of bubblegum.
