GM Bold Strider's PFS 01-50 Fortune's Blight - PbP Gameday IV (Subtier 8-9) (Inactive)

Game Master rpblue

I'll try a targeted Dispel Magic, seeing if I can get rid of this fog, then move up a bit closer.

Targeted Dispel Magic Check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

For ease of reference, I make a check vs the Highest magic on the target (in this case the center of the mist spell) and need to make a DC 11+Caster Level. Normally on a failure, the Dispel check would go down the line until it stopped something or where where no other magics to stop, but in this case, (unless the Hag targeted herself as the source of the fog), theres only that one magic to try against. It also matters if the specific spell, spell-like ability, etc. . . can be Dispelled, (the spell will note that it can not be). For example, Lesser Geas says "A lesser geas (and all ability score penalties) can be ended by break enchantment, limited wish, remove curse, miracle, or wish. Dispel magic does not affect a lesser geas."

Somewhat annoyed by this tactic, Dr. Vitruvian attempts to lob another bomb.

Bomb ranged touch: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 /facepalm
miss chance, I want to roll high: 1d100 ⇒ 67
fire damage: 3d4 + 7 ⇒ (4, 1, 2) + 7 = 14
where does it land? 1 is directly below her, and proceeding counterclockwise: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Okay, could've been worse. Again, Reflex DC is 20.

Pai delays until she sees the result of Yanos's spell.

Presuming Yanos can dispel and I can see

Kryssa runs screaming toward the hag as she pulls her weapon to the ready.

No charge. Power Attack and Arcane Strike

Attack - PA: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 - 2 = 18
Damage+PA+AS: 1d10 + 7 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 6 + 2 = 20

Reflex vs bomb: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Mohok easily dodges the bomb as it lands near him, then steps forward through the fog, trying to find the hag! His eyes and ears tell him nothing, so he swings his blade in the direction he last saw the awful creature, coming up empty every time!

Since Mohok can't see where she stepped, he'll just step forward and swing at the three squares the hag would have moved to in stepping away from him - north of her, her current spot, and west of her.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

+1 Falchion, PA: 1d20 + 16 - 3 ⇒ (1) + 16 - 3 = 14 North of her
+1 Falchion damage, PA: 2d4 + 10 + 9 ⇒ (3, 1) + 10 + 9 = 23

+1 Falchion, PA: 1d20 + 16 - 3 ⇒ (3) + 16 - 3 = 16 Her current spot
+1 Falchion damage, PA: 2d4 + 10 + 9 ⇒ (2, 1) + 10 + 9 = 22

+1 Falchion, PA, iterative: 1d20 + 11 - 3 ⇒ (11) + 11 - 3 = 19 West of her
+1 Falchion damage, PA: 2d4 + 10 + 9 ⇒ (3, 4) + 10 + 9 = 26

Wow, dice-rollin' karma there! Nat 20 on the save, and then four rolls averaging 4 after that...

Status: 71/76

Don't forget your Inspire Courage and haste bonuses, everybody!

The Physician maintains his encouraging speech, but finding little else to do, he draws and loads his crossbow in case he gets a shot.

2nd round of Haste. Maintain performance.

With Haste and Inspire Courage, Mohok's attack on the hag's square would be a 19, which might be enough to hit. Now to roll miss chance:

50% miss chance, high is good: 1d100 ⇒ 2 Ahhh, well.

@Yanos: I am familiar with Dispel Magic. If anything, your explanation only confused me for a bit as Obscuring Mist is not cast on a target like Darkness is.

Yanos dispels the Obscuring Mist with ease as the rest of the party attacks with bombs and swords, though all seem to miss due to bad luck on the part of the Pathfinders, not from any real skill from the green hag.

As Yanos, dispels the mist, the Doctor's bomb goes wide and short of the mark, landing near Mohok, singing only him this time. Reflex Save for Mohok.

Doesn't land adjacent to the hag as you were 25' from her and range increment is 20'. From your position, square 8 is Northwest and two squares puts it adjacent to Mohok's position before he moved (and his position after he moved).

Sorry, was just trying to be helpful just because it's something that doesn't come up so often. I'll refrain in the future unless asked.

Oh, it's not a big deal. It was just confusing as I thought you were trying to target the Hag instead of the cloud for a few minutes. I always appreciate helpful, so don't stop that. ;-)

I wasn't sure what spell it was, (or even if it was actually a spell, it could be a EX or SU ability), so I had to keep it a bit vague. I also, out of character, was not sure if she cast it on herself (as the target), a point in space, or the like, but I imagine we would have seen that in the game.

Yanos just makes everything overly complicated. :)

Actually, the way that Obscuring Mist is written, it looks like it might stem from her because the cloud erupts on her location, but it doesn't move with her. Either way, you wouldn't have had LoS to the hag in the fog, so a targeted dispel on the cloud was the only option, I think. :D

Yanos just makes everything overly complicated. :)

Gives Kryssa a kicked puppy look, then eyes drift down to her lower half, and he remembers the devious plan he has in mind.

Just for the record, we have sort of a running joke from way back of me getting her chaps dirty. Last I recall, they where red dragon scale chaps.

Doesn't land adjacent to the hag as you were 25' from her and range increment is 20'. From your position, square 8 is Northwest and two squares puts it adjacent to Mohok's position before he moved (and his position after he moved).

Crap; I thought it was 30 feet. Can we say I moved up? There's no reason I couldn't have.

Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

"Dammit, Doc, cut it out!" Mohok growls as he sidesteps another bomb-blast. "Blow up the hag, not me!"

Note: Mohok's anger is purely for comic effect, I'm not bothered in the least. It's rather entertaining to role-play, in fact.

Status: 66/76

Pai uses another charge from her wand, now that she could see the hag.

Damage 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3, 2) + 3 = 10

Pai blasts the woman again as she becomes invisible.

1d20 ⇒ 12

Dr. Vitruvian curses himself inwardly for not carrying something as simple as cheap powder to foil invisibility with, and sighs as he strings his bow with a cold iron arrow in hopes someone else can reveal the hag.

I ready an action to shoot the hag as soon as she becomes visible again.

+1 Adaptive Composite Longbow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
cold iron damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

The Physician draws out a scroll, and takes a guess on where the hag might have ended up.

Glitterdust, marked on the map. DC 13 if I caught her.

I'll delay until I see the results of glitterdust.

Delay.

The Doctor readies an arrow as he steps to the side of the Physician as the Physician conjures a blast of Glitterdust in the far side of the clearing, revealing nothing of importance to that at the moment but Mohok does see a pretty daisy that now is adorned with some sparkles.

"Man, Doc, you tryin' to get me all glittery to go with the burned spots you already gave me?" Mohok says, in a clumsy, orcish attempt at a joke. He looks around in annoyance, asking the others, "Where in the hells did she go? Is she gettin' away, or sneakin' up on one of us?"

Keep delaying for now.

Kryssa pulls forth her Discerning, Shining Wayfinder and focuses on finding the evil hag.

Detect Evil. The compass needle points to the closest evil creature within 60 feet.

To Kryssa's mild surprise, the Wayfinder does not point to Dr. Vitruvian....

lol

Or does it...

Nah, it doesn't. Almost though! See arrow on Kryssa's picture on the map.

Pai delays for the time being as well, readying an action to cast a spell when the hag reappears.

Ill begin to summon a Celestial Dog as a Full Round Action, to appear just above the Doctor, and hopefully sniff her out.

Kryssa follows the compass and yells, "She's this way!"

Wait, you're going to drop a dog on me?

The green hag appears next to the great Doctor as he has his bow nocked in the direction of Kryssa's compass, her two claws rapidly swinging to cut into the man.

Feel free to take your readied action, but it will provoke from the hag.

Claw @ Doctor-15 FFAC: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 16 + 2 = 26
Claw @ Doctor-19 AC: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30

Both of her claws sink into the Doctor.

Damage: 2d4 + 8 ⇒ (3, 4) + 8 = 15 Need two Fortitude Saves.

Yanos finishes summoning a Celestial Dog as Pai and Mohok delay until the hag appears.

Sorry I meant north of you on the map. :P

-Posted with Wayfinder

The Physician maintains his encouragement, fires his crossbow at the hag, and backs up.

Inspire +2 still up. Round 4/7 for haste.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 cold iron

I actually figured that out, it was just too funny an image not to say anything.

Add +2 to the following rolls if I'm dealing with poison or disease here. I do NOT make my readied attack.

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Fortitude save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

The hag's claws tear deeply into Dr. Vitruvian, but mysteriously fail to draw blood. He, in turn, steps back, smiles wanly, and hucks another of his ominous clear vials at her.

bomb, courage: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29 +1 = 30
fire damage: 3d4 + 9 ⇒ (4, 2, 1) + 9 = 16

”You shoulda stayed hid, ugly,” Mohok rumbles as the hag appears. Using the amazing speed granted him by The Physician’s spell, he darts to the far side of the hag, then slashes at her, using his best judgment! ”And leave the doc alone! He’s been blowin’ me up more ‘n you anyway!”

Move action to get around her, moving to avoid AoO, then attack.

+1 Falchion, PA, Inspired, Haste: 1d20 + 16 - 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 16 - 3 + 2 + 1 = 27
+1 Falchion damage, PA, Inspired: 2d4 + 10 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 10 + 9 + 2 = 27

You're getting me confused with "The Physician," Mohok - that was his spell.

You're getting me confused with "The Physician," Mohok - that was his spell.

Oops! Too many doctors! Edited.

Pai, loving her new wand, keeps firing at the hag.

Magic Missile damage 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3, 1) + 3 = 8

Seeing her reform once more, Yanos grasps his spear tight and rushes at her, but just before hitting here, grows much, much larger.

Inspired Large Charge: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25
Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 5) + 7 = 18

My Domain allows me to utilize Enlarge Person as a Free Action, but only lasts 1 round.

The group easily cuts down the green hag with a series of attacks as a single target is nothing for a group of six well-prepared Pathfinders.

What do you do now?

I'll gladly take the ring if nobody else needs it more.

I'll take the bracers, in case I get caught without Mage Armor.

"Good job, team! ...Say, weren't we supposed to take her alive? Did we overdo it?"

Heal to stabilize: 1d20 ⇒ 4

"Oh god, oh god, so much blood! I don't know what I'm doing!"

Returning to his normal size for a moment, "Here, take her magic implemets, and bind her, and if she can be saved, against my better judgement, Ill heal her."

I have a Wand of CLWs and rope, but I want to wait until spell components are removed, is she has any. Assuming sha not dead, dead. :P

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Heal to check status of hag: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (12) + 0 = 12

"Please stand back, I'm a doctor."

Heal to check condition: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26
Heal to stabilize, if possible: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (13) + 20 = 33

As coroner I can confer I've thoroughly examined her and she is not just merely dead she's really most sincerely dead.

If she's dead, I have a scroll of Create Treasure Map that should do the trick.
