GM Chadius's Gameday VI: 7-07 Trouble in Tamran (Inactive)

Game Master chadius

Imad quickly pockets the drink. "No investigation. You'll have to trust me on this. How else can I trust you?" He patiently waits for Liminy to understand, then reveals the potion again.

Liminy does not detect also falsehoods in Imad's words.

"Alright, well you seem nice enough." She puts on a tough face before reaching for the drink. "But if this is a trick my friends here will make you pay!" And with that, the blonde girl drinks down the bottle

As Amelie drinks, Imad fires off a stream of questions, testing your allegiance to Molthune.

“How long have you been working for Molthune?”
“Who is your Molthuni contact?”
“Do any of your allies have ties to Molthune?”

Amelie's Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Amelie feels like the potion wants to make her tell the truth, but she resists it naturally.

You can answer these questions in anyway you want. You can also add a Bluff check DC 15 if you want to pretend to be compelled.

Amelie is way too naive and clueless to consider bluffing.

"Molthune? Who's that? I've never met a Molthune, but I did work with a nice elf who had a parrot named Molly. Or was it Polly? I can't remember. But I've certainly never been tied to anyone named Molthune, thankfully I've never been tied up at all! But I have tied up some bad guys that needed to be turned in to the authorities. These are weird questions, are you going to help us or not?"

Imad smiles. ”Clearly I know who I can trust. Yes, let me share some information with you:”

“Two weeks ago, while my men and I were patrolling along the edge of the Fangwood south of the city, we spotted a group of bandits attacking a smuggler in the woods. We gave chase, and tracked them as they fled west, but lost the trail when they hit the river. I don’t think they simply forded or swam; I’d bet good money your bandits have a ship capable of sailing up the Marideth River.”

Imad walks out of the bar with you. "That place is very suspicious of any outsiders, especially Pathfinders. I wish you all luck." He bows and takes his leave.

You barely have a moment to yourselves before a bird lands near you and drops off a note. It is signed by Guaril Karela.

"Guess it wasn't poison after all."
spellcraft: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

linguistics: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

"Whomever wrote this did an adequate job of copying Karela's penmanship. Someone wants us northernmost pier an hour before midnight. Do we want to accommodate them?"

"Could be a trap though?"

"Maybe we just go there and watch, see who shows up to spring a trap? At worst, we get to be under the stars all night!"

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

"Well, I think it's the best lead we have right now."

Lasaraleen watches the transactions.

Cant make spelllcraft check .

"Super. Let's get started. I cannot wait ."

You approach the pier at the dead of night, ready for an ambush.

A few small lanterns illuminate this rickety stretch of shoreline, and the smell of moldering wood fills the air. Ramshackle buildings line the shore, while short wooden docks protrude into the gently lapping waters of the lake.

Please place yourself on the map, and make perception checks.

Gadget would probably use her Wand of Mage Armor when we get close to the pier and again (if nothing happens) when it gets close to the meeting time.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

"I don't like it. It's kind of spooky out here."

Token Placed... I'm assuming it's Slide 1? Don't know what direction we're heading.

You are on slide 1, heading south.

Gadget summons magical armaments and keeps her eyes out for danger.

"Ambush the ambushers it is."

Liminy will use his mage armor wand on himself when we get near and have someone tap him with his CLW wand to top himself off.

perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26

"Four of them tailing us. Humans. Three soldiers and I think a cleric."

kn Local on the clothing: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 +2 vs human

At liminy's warning, Darven draw his sword, waiting for things to start.

Gadget also draws her bow at Liminy's warning.

Grog looks around.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Looks like we're ready to get this show started.

Liminy recognizes the sashes they belong to a militia unit called the Crimson Kestrels. The religious man wears the symbol of Razmiri, the false god.

"Bah, they see us! Strike them down!" The divine man raises his quarterstaff vigorously.

Round 1
Gadget

Gadget sees an opportunity to catch the enemy flatfooted!

Think fast Gadget. I can't see any of them. What to do... oh I know!

"I have some cake that a goblin gave me..."

Full Round Action
Gadget takes out some cake and eats it, and she appears to get hyper.
"Woohoo! Sugar rush!"
Haste Duration: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

That's one tasty cake! Gadget feels fast as lightning. She just needs to worry about the sugar crash...

The priest pulls out a potion and drinks it as the militia men approach. The one from the south in red armor stops short and holds his handaxe, like he's ready for something...

Round 1
Crimson Kestrels (Red readied) & Razmiri priest
Darven
Grog
Lasaraleen
Liminy
Amelie

Round 2
Gadget (Hasted, 4 rounds)

Party is up

"Members of an evil religion. Act accordingly."

Liminy will haste everyone but the jittery Gadget.

AC 20 counting cover vs the presumed ready to disrupt.

Liminy hastes the party without hassle.

Once the ambushers show their faces, Amelie quickly unleashes a volley of arrows at the nearest one, with the help of Liminy's pick me up.

Attack vs purple: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 281d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7
Haste: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 181d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12
Rapid shot: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 121d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

AC is 20

"That was SOME cake."

Non Action
Gadget steps out to take aim.

She attacks the one wearing Purple.

Longbow Attack 1 (Deadly Aim, Rapid Shot, Point Blank Shot, Haste): 1d20 + 10 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 10 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 27

Longbow Attack Haste (Deadly Aim, Rapid Shot, Point Blank Shot, Haste): 1d20 + 10 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 17
Longbow Damage Haste (Deadly Aim, Point Blank Shot): 1d6 + 5 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 4 + 1 = 12

A flurry of arrows fly from the two small archers. When the dust settles two of the militia men lie face down and unresponsive in the mud, their armor torn like paper.

Round 1 (Haste)
Yellow Crimson Kestrels & Razmiri priest
Darven
Grog
Lasaraleen
Liminy
Amelie

Round 2
Gadget (Hasted, 4 rounds)

I'll GM control Grog unless someone else wants to. If you do, post his action!

Great shooting, ladies!

Lasaraleen, not seeing any current foes, will cast bull strength on herself and move up to the corner of the building with scimitar drawn. She peers around the corner.

I see two, one close and one further back to the east!

I'll go around the building. Darven runs around the building and gets in the face of yellow.

Double move

Remember everyone that you're under the effects of Haste.

Ooh! I'm on!
Grog grabs his axe and runs around the corner. Seeing the priest, he readies an action to chop at the first enemy who enters melee range.

+1 greataxe: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
damage : 1d12 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Oh, these half-orcs take a while to get used to.

The remaining militia man sees Darven close in on him and swings his handaxe.
Handaxe vs Human: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7
Darven knows this warrior is trained to track human weakpoints, but his armor is too strong.

"Bring glory to the ever faithful, and flames to the disbelievers!" The priest opens his palm, shooting flames at Grog and Lasaraleen.
Burning Hands: 5d4 ⇒ (1, 2, 1, 2, 4) = 10
Reflex Save DC 13 for half
Grog's Reflex Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Grog dives out of the way to evade most of the flames.

Round 3
Gadget (Hasted, 4 rounds)

I'll GM control Grog unless someone else wants to. If you do, post his action!

"Grog is inescapable!"

Grog will take a 5ft step up to the cleric and full attack.

Including Power Attack and Haste
Attack #1: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 2 + 1 = 13 for dmg: 1d12 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25

Attack #2: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 11 - 2 + 1 = 18 for dmg: 1d12 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

"Maybe a bit escapable."

Liminy will move up to where he can see the action and ready an action to cast Magic Missile to disrupt any casting that might occur.

"Not that I think you will do it but if you surrender and tell us what you know we won't kill you."

Amelie runs around the side of the building, and fires an arrow at the man with the yellow pants.

Attack vs yellow: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 291d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11

While Grog isn't able to land a solid hit on the priest, Amelie quickly shoots the remaining militia man, wounding him badly. Liminy prepares to disrupt the priest's concentration at the first opportunity.

Move Action
"Wahoo! Look how fast I move!"
Gadget moves into position against a building ready to fire.

Standard Action
She fires at the one she has a clear shot to. Firing at Yellow

Round 3
Gadget (Hasted, 3 rounds)

I'll GM control Grog unless someone else wants to. If you do, post his action!

Lasaraleen will attempt to dodge the sheet of flame.

HEY!

reflex,haste: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

But she takes the full force of the flames.

With her fast movement, she runs around to the back of caster (should have plenty to stay of out AOO reach, if applicable).

You should not play with fire! You should surrender you heathen!

CI scimitar, haste,str, flank: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 11 for dmg: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7

Well, at least she cut off his retreat.

Darven seeing the yellow man go down before he got to him finish rounding the corner and heads to the corner priest.

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 +2 vs human
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 +2 vs human

With his uncanny reflexes, the raving priest ignores the flanking going on about him. Grog's hasted attack hits him hard but he dodges all of the other strikes sent at him.
He then turns his full attention to Lasaraleen.

"Me? Heathen! HAHAHA. I know of the one true god, Razmiri! Through me he will smite you down!"

Quarterstaff: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

He strikes the cleric in her sides and she knows that's going to leave a mark.

Round 2 (Haste)
Razmiri priest (Bloodraging!)
Darven
Grog (5 Damage)
Lasaraleen (Bull's Strength, 22 damage)
Liminy
Amelie

Round 3
Gadget (Hasted, 2 rounds)

Grog bot

"Grog Smite!"

Including Power Attack and Haste
Attack #1: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 11 - 2 + 1 = 27
dmg: 1d12 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

Attack #2: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 2 + 1 = 13
dmg: 1d12 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

Liminy

Assuming the priest is still standing Force Missile: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

attack #1 long sword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 and damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

hasted attack, long sword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 and 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

+2 to all rolls if the priest is human. Even though with rolls like that, they are still unlikely to hit

Darven attacks the target ferociously with sword and shield.

As the others surround the priest, Amelie runs around the building and fires another arrow at the overwhelmed, yet stubborn, man.

Attack vs priest: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 131d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

Grog smashes the priest again, yet he still stands. Darven identifies his human weakpoints but is unable to capitalize on them. Amelie's arrow bounces off the priest's armor.

Razmiri priest (Bloodraging!, 42 Damage)
Darven
Grog (5 Damage)
Lasaraleen (Bull's Strength, 22 damage)

Ah yes. He's taken 46 damage so far. Still standing.

"Keep it going!"

You can apply cover for these.

Full Attack

Longbow Attack 1 (Deadly Aim, Rapid Shot, Point Blank Shot, Haste): 1d20 + 10 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 10 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 20

Longbow Damage Haste (Deadly Aim, Point Blank Shot): 1d6 + 5 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 4 + 1 = 14

Non Action
Gadget takes a step back to stay out of reach.

@GM - I only had Lasaraleen down 17 (5+12) unless I missed something. The last hit would have missed due to haste, but I forgot to update her status...so my bad on that one

Lasaraleen will wince with the hit from the quarterstaff.

You are still the heathen here, and your fake god!

She continues to slash at the false prophet despite her injuries. She slams into the wall with the first swing but connects solidly with the backhand hasted attack.

CI scimitar,str,flank,haste: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 10 for dmg: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5
CI scimitar,str,flank,haste: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 29 for dmg: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7

confirm #2: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 23 for dmg: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 2 = 6

AC19, hp 21/38

Overwhelmed by the pathfinder's assault, the priest crumples, dead. "Razmiri, I give my life..."

Among the priest's gear and his symbol you note some other equipment.
