GM Bret’s Solstice Scar B Session Two Tier 1-2 (Inactive)

Game Master BretI

Posting my actions before bed, modify as needed if purple manages to hit me.

Kamishah stands over the fallen Ylania and swings his axe at the unquiet dead.

Boarding Axe on Purple: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Damage on Purple: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Will Save If Hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Ylania slips closer to death.

The purple undead decides to feast on Kamish rather than on the fallen Meux at its feet. It turns out to be a poor choice.
attack Kamish: 1d20 ⇒ 10

The red ghost meanwhile floats up to Sek, but without luck.
attack Sek: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Kamish's return stroke seems pretty effective at disrupting the creature, which dissipates.

The green figure continues its attack on Edwin, who manages to deflect the attack.. just.
attack Edwin: 1d20 ⇒ 13

Round 3, bold may post
Kioshi -twinhorn ally

Ylania - 15 damage; dying; - -twinhorn ally

Round 4

"Oh Chaldira, thank you for the support of these allies!"

Acid Splash vs. touch AC @ red, melee -4: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 - 4 = 10

Acid Splash Damage, acid focus: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

I should not be bold, because I did my turn

We have looped back around from that turn.

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10 stabalize

Sek draws a wand of cure light.

Melee touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Edwin tries to strike again.

to hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Not bothering to see if the bleeding has stopped, Kamishah casts stabilize on Ylania and moves to support the party.

Will move token after attacks on and from red resolve.

I will not be able to post for a while so sorry for posting early.

Acid Splash vs. touch AC @ red, melee -4: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 - 4 = 16

Acid Splash Damage, acid focus: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Kioshi directs a stream of acid onto the red creature, burning it badly, while Tlania slips closer to death..

Sek draws a wand and stabs at the red dead with it. It yelps in surprise from the positive energy and appears almost done in. Even more so as a Twinhorn spear finishes it off.

Edwin, fighting the green dead, finds its body strangely resistant to his thrusting sword. He scores a light wound, but thinks it should have been more telling than it was.
DR effective against the weapon
What it was not effective against was a pair of well aimed arrows that finish it off.

Twinhorn allies for the rescue!

Kamishah quickly calls on divine aid to stop Ylania dying.

I'm guessing you want to heal up a bit

Map

Who is this Tlania you speak of :)

Sek will start by healing everyone a wake with his wand. Everyone can roll their own healing.

Does anyone else have healing resources?

If not roll until you are full and tell me the charges.

"Can someone help them? I can not do that!"

Does anyone else have healing resources?

The group has three potions which have not been used yet.

You have several characters at second level, so I would expect them to have wands that provide some sort of healing.

Kioshi is quite happy that he was able to get out of this unharmed.

"Who is carrying the three potions we found? We have to give them to the fallen heroes!"

You are all Pathfinders, so you cooperate. For the potions, just say you are using one and on whom.

Since she is not conscious she can't talk, lol

Since she is not conscious she can't talk, lol

If you have a wand of CLWs, just roll it. Sek has already said he will use it on you. I am perfectly fine with the character’s using other character’s resources provided the player has no objections.

If you carefully read his post, he has been even more generous than that. If you don’t have your own healing resources he has offered his own.

Please do not delay the game any further because you were knocked unconscious.

CMW potion meux : 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 4) + 3 = 13

CMW potion ylania : 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 2) + 3 = 11

***OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT***

@Table GMs: The “Portal Closed” condition on page 20 is in effect.

Kioshi carefully feeds potions to the unconscious Meux and Ylania. Meux is fully healed by the potion, Ylania is still hurt.

One CMW potion left. Ylania is still -5 HP from maximum.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Sek cures the remaining damage on Ylania.

Alright, where to now?

Remaining option is talk to the leadership? If so Sek starts walking that way.

Kioshi accompanies Sek.

"I am looking forward to the discussions! We need to help them to come to a strategic decision on the next steps!"

The thick hide walls of this large tent muffle the sounds of battle outside. Iron spikes pin down an enormous map in the center of the tent. Wooden carvings of warriors and monsters lie strewn about the map, marking the location of fighting warriors and the encroaching undead.

The three leaders of the Twinhorns are gathered around the map discussing the situation. Medda is trying to convince the other two that they should continue fighting.

This uses a simplified version of the influence subsystem.

You can use Sense Motive to get an idea of what skills are most effective influencing a particular NPC. Each NPC has one other skill that can be used to discover what skills are most useful for influencing the NPCs.

Medda Spiritbearer is the leader who is the guardian of Ivorra’s hilt and went to retrieve the relic after it was stolen. You met her in the museum and have been traveling with her.

Kragr Bloodhand is a middle-aged warrior. This massive Kellid stands a head taller than most humans and wears a dire polar bear cloak from a bear he personally wrestled, pinned, and strangled during a year he spent traveling the Crown of the World. The many scars on his body suggest a life of physical conflict and perseverance. You hear him loudly proclaim that the tribe would be better off it it abandoned this ritual. There are better places to hunt!

Jala the Patient is a venerable warrior. Jala's age may have wrinkled her skin and clouded her vision, but she still wears her leather armor and longbow proudly. Regular exercise has kept her body strong, despite her old age. She chooses her words carefully and is very direct and to the point.

Edwin goes to Medda. "Medda they must continue to fight on our side in the name of gods. What we need to do to convince them?"

sense motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Medda pauses in her debate to reply. “If you could help me convince just one of the two that staying is the right course of action, that would give me the support I need.”

You can use an Easy Knowledge (religion) or Perform (oratory) to influence her.

Kioshi steps to Medda after talking to Edwin about his discussion and his hunch with regards to Medda

"Medda, I am sure that your ancestral spirits and your gods will be with you and we will be at your side to convince the others that it is the right path to walk with you, destined by the powers that give your tribes strength in battle."

kn(religion): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

"Tell them that Your and my God will unite forces and help us in this battle against evil."

know. religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Medda is impressed by Kioshi's argument, but not Edwin's.

Medda: 1 successes
Kragr: 0 successes
Jala: 0 successes

Kioshi: 1 of 3 actions
Edwin: 2 of 3 actions

Wow. Just wow

Sense Motive 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

So with that roll do I get to know what skill I get to use to try to influence people since I wasn't included in your last, non condescending post?

@Ylania, I feel you cut the important part of my statements with regards to the use of the healing. To put it in context, you were out of battle and another PC capable of operating the wand had already volunteered to operate wands. Under those circumstances I really would prefer people just roll the healing since it cuts down on the back and forth communication otherwise needed.

As for the current encounter, please specify which NPC you wanted the Sense Motive roll to apply to. Yes, everyone gets three actions in this influence encounter. The Sense Motive check is one action, but helps the group know what skills work best.

I am sorry if you feel my attitude was condescending. I will try to be more respectful in the future but would very much appreciate it if you could do the same.

Kamishah stares at Kragr intently, growling out his question. "You would abandon a territory so easily? Is this not a chance to prove the mettle of your people?"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Kragr is unimpressed by Kamishah. “There is nothing here worth risking our lives for.”

Kragr: 0 successes

Sek address Java, "wise warrior with your experience and my keen eyes we can surely devise tactics that will bring swift victory. I see breaks in the enemies lines and fear on their face. Their resolve will break if we cause the right group to fall."

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29

"Let me be your eyes."

“We have no problems seeing the enemy. Come up with a good plan for my people battling them and that may sway my stance.”

Sorry, Perception is not one of the skills used to influence her.

Medda: 1 successes, Easy Knowledge (religion) or Perform (oratory) to influence.

Kioshi speaks with Medda again "I have to admit that I am following Chaldira Zuzaristan, a halfling goddess that believes that a battle is only won if you grasp your fear and your doubt and channel it into an attack to break your opponents defenses ... and of course trust in your luck to survive!" he says with a sly smile.

"So let us talk about how lucky we can get in this dire situation!"

With Kioshi's encouragement, Medda becomes even more fervent in her stance. The other two seem to be reconsidering their positions.

Medda: Fully won over. Makes others easier to convince. No additional successes needed.
Kragr: 0 successes
Jala: 0 successes

"You speak of there being nothing worth risking for here. This hunt will not be confined to one ground, one land. When all have been consumed, these horrors will move like the locust hordes, devouring you wherever you may run."

Surival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Sek more accustomed to being a solo hunter is just going to study the leaders and see if he can devise any insights.

An extra +1 on each check if Sek can use his study target ability (move action) to better analyze each leader.

Sense Movtive Kragr: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Sense Movtive Jala : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Sek and Kamishah read what GM writes. You guys roll checks that are not necessary at all.

Edwin moves to Jala. Jala you need to help us. In the name of your God!

sense motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

You can use Sense Motive to get an idea of what skills are most effective influencing a particular NPC. Each NPC has one other skill that can be used to discover what skills are most useful for influencing the NPCs.

I believe that within the system guessing based on the description is a valid tactic to try and save attempts.

Sek and Kamishah read what GM writes. You guys roll checks that are not necessary at all.

If that is the case, then it was a Sense Motive check of 9.

Sek is correct, you can try to guess what skills are used for influence or discovery to try and save attempts.

@Sek, I will allow the use of Studied Target.

Neither Sek nor Kamishah have a good idea how best to influence Kragr. He does seem to take pride in his bravery and hunting skills, but Kamishah's attempts were not quite what he was looking for.

Sek does get a better read on Jala. He thinks that an Easy Knowledge (nature) or Profession (soldier); Average Knowledge (religion) would work. She seems to prefer facts over impassioned pleas.

@Edwin: Since you already have the information for Jala, I will have you use Knowledge: Religion to try to influence her. You have Knowledge Religion, so the total would be 24.

Using what Sek discovered, Edwin approaches Jala to speak of the spiritual reasons to continue the fight. He makes good progress, but she isn't quite ready to change her vote.

Medda: Fully won over. Makes others easier to convince. No additional successes needed.
Kragr: 0 successes. Survival skill doesn't work.
Jala: 2 successes. Easy Knowledge (nature) or Profession (soldier); Average Knowledge (religion)

Kioshi: 2 of 3 actions
Edwin: 3 of 3 actions
Kamishah: 2 of 3 actions
Sek: 3 of 3 actions

Since you have the information for the other two, I'll have Ylania's Sense Motive be for Kragr. He is the only one you haven't got the information on.

Ylania watches Kragr's responses and figures out what motivates the man. She suggests using Easy Intimidate; Average Diplomacy or Bluff in order to influence him.

Medda: Fully won over. Makes others easier to convince. No additional successes needed.
Kragr: 0 successes. Survival skill doesn't work. Easy Intimidate; Average Diplomacy or Bluff
Jala: 2 successes. Easy Knowledge (nature) or Profession (soldier); Average Knowledge (religion)
