GM Chyro [PFS Season 0] Perils of the Pirate Pact (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

Alacorta hasn´t acted in turn two, I´ll roll for him to break free. Let´s put him in my same initiative for easyness.

Alacorta escape artist: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Keera moves to have a clear shot of the rightmost spider and throws more fire to it.

Produce flame ranged touch attack, in combat: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 4 = 201d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Well done Alacorta, now kill the spider who´s bitting Sele, the other one can´t hurt you

I moved you lasttime to the left, since your view from the other square is obstructed due to a thin wooden wall.
Keera burns blue some more.

Green NomnomNagaji: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23Gnaw+poison: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Fort Sele vs poison: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12Str dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Sele is bit again, it proves too much and he slumps to the ground.
Vaisil delays.
-----------------------------------------------

Spiders Nest, round 3.

Blue: Bite bird: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12, its bite misses the nimble roc.
Keera & Alacorta, Sele (con roll please), Vaisil, Wulfren
Green

Con: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Couldn't be any more perfect on that. :)

pfft coulda been a more inconsequential roll.. maybe... 19..16..19 and on d8 6..8..6 and then you fail two rolls you needed a 5 on for poison...???

Ei boy! I did not know you were hitting so low in hp. What about the 'lay on hands'? It is a swift action for yourself

Vailis is startled as the stout nagaji paladin drops to the floor "Oh oh! I fear those spiders are a greater menace than we thought!"

Pulling out his healing wand Vailis waves it and tabs at Sele, trying to bring him back to the realm of consciousness.
UMD: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
CLW+Fey Foundling: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 2 = 10

Meanwhile, the augmented fiendish giant spider keeps fighting her larger sister.
Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

I kinda forgot about it...

Despite the bite from Vaisil's own spider, the large one is still not dead.
Sele however, opens his eyes, but is prone.
Keera & Alacorta, Sele (prone), Wulfren

If the GM says I prefer the left view, then I prefer the left view ;)
Also editing because I can´t touch Alacorta to cast a spell on him

Alacorta attacks the spider threatening Sele without great results, so Keera uses her last shot in an attempt to kill that spider.

Alacorta bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 91d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Alacorta talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 111d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Alacorta talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 141d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Last produce flame ranged touch attack, in combat: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 1 = 161d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Against green spider unlees is harder to hit than the blue one

Alacorta fails 2 attacks, but deals the last dmg to take out the spider.
Keera burns blue for another 7 hurt.
Sele & Wulfren

Sele stands and uses lay on hands on himself

loh: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 2) + 4 = 11

escape artist: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

With Sele having escaped and looking more healthy, Wulfren's last in line.

Wulf steps two spaces to the left, then clears his weapon.

With Wulfren clearing the malfunction, the round finishes.
---------------------------------

Spiders Nest, final round?

Nom birdy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24Hurt: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Crit birdy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8Hurt: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Fort Alacorta: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 81d6 ⇒ 3
The spider sinks its poisonous fangs hard into Alacorta's chest.
Alacorta feels weakened.

Team explorers, go!

Vailis sheaths his wand and shots at the spider.
mwk crossbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

The half-elf points towards the remaining spider and his summoned spider steps next to it and attacks.
Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

With those actions the last monstrous spider stops moving.

Combat over.

Alacorta's still poisoned.
Keera you can roll 1 more time against 1d6 ⇒ 4 str dmg.
Meanwhile perception for spoiler.
For Alacorta's sake, i wouldn't recommend taking 10 unless you all fail, let alone 20.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Sele grabs a potion and drinks it lrp: 1d4 ⇒ 3

"The rest we should hold onto i case further situations arise"

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

"I agree on that, but perhaps we want to heal the brave Alacorta" Vailis approaches the loyal hawk and tries to sooth him in his struggle.

"We have 4 doors to choose from. I propose North one as we can then close that flank. I am not a good explorer, so... perhaps some of you wants to open the way and check for traps"

Turning to Wulfen he adds "Are you ok? That machine you use made a horrible puff. I was scared it could explode or something "

"Can someone use my cure wand on myself and brave Alacorta please?

Sele proffers his wand of cure light wounds

"Not to worry, Vailis. Ol' Bess here has a few quirks. Just some bad powder is all. I can try your wand Sele, I've got a little bit of a knack for magic items. But I think Keera is your best bet.

Willing to UMD it if no other options.

Alacorta Fort save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

I´ll use the wands, thanks for letting me use it on Alacorta. Also, I´ll accept one of the potions to cure Alacorta, I´ll need some time to convice him to drink it, but he will accept.

CLW on Sele, fey foundling: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7
CLW on Alacorta: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
My own wand of CLW on Alacorta: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 Not going to abuse of your invitation

Drink this Alacorta, it´s good for yo. Don´t look me this way, Have I ever give you anything that meke you sick. Keera looks directly at Alacorta eyes until he yield and drinks the potion.

Lesser restoration: 1d4 ⇒ 2 Se he still have 2 Strengh damage

Alacorta is better, even if not completely cured. But maybe you´ll need the potion in the future Sele, so keep it and I´ll cure Alacorta tomorrow.

Also, where we go? I´ll prefer to open the north door before going into the water

Perception, checking for traps: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Keera, just 1 str dmg. 3-2=1. ;)

Searching the rest of the ship It's all safe, no more enemies.,
you find humanoid remains in webbed condition and a journal.
The journal describes some general stuff as well as being sent here by Lady Riverbane.

"Interesting, this might be the journal from Lady Riverbane's men. She would be glad to know they are dead now" says Vailis.

If there is no more rooms to explore in here, the half-elf will propose to come back to the pirate ship and show Lady Riverbane the journal and explain her about the giant spiders.

Glad? She had lost many men and one ship in this endeavor without any profit, and her master will lost the promised book. Despite her comments, Keera agrees with Vailis in going back to the pirate ship.

"My hope is that I shall have time to heal the remainder of the poison damage over time and that the potion can be used for another contingency"

With a cleared out ship, let's not linger :)

After arriving back on board, you show the journal to Lady Riverbane.
She nods. "Aye, i sent them here, 't was to be a rescu'in mission which has gone sour. Hardest part be notifyin' their kin. You lot look weary, you should take a breather."

The rest of the day is uneventful.
The next morning however, Lady Riverbane anchors her ship and leads you to shore.
"I hope you've slept well, marchin' this forest's thicket won't be a light task."
She hands you a map with the route to where the Black Maqruis' men got ambushed.
"The trip is about 4 hours by foot. I hope you don't mind, but with the last ship of nutcases tryin' to board us, i want to make sure i can set some tricks for any ruffians tryin' the same while you're in the forest.
These are fine sailors, but poor combatants."

---------------------------------------------
Act 3: The Venomous Woods

The forest here is ancient. Dense masses of leafage impose an eerie twilight of dark green while forlorn trees speak of a bygone age where humans wrestled for survival in a land of darkness.
Many thick sheets of giant webbing stretch like great shrouds around the gaunt trees and groveling bushes.

2 things i need.
1) Marching order? Could be either a long line, or a 2 side by side.
2) Perception rolls from everyone.

"I'd prefer a side by side marching order, i'm not 100 percent at the moment and saving that potion is a good idea"

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

"Ok, Sele, I can walk next to you if no one else wants to brave" says Vailis, loading his crossbow, then using his wand to cast shield on himself.
Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (6) + 0 = 6

Crossbow in one hand, the other empty.
I will cast a light spell in the bolt if the area is dark

"I'll stick to the back rank for now. I can cover you well enough that way."

Behind Sele, with 5' space between us.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

You guys can each roll 2 survival checks.

Because we rested did I heal a point of strength damage?

Survival: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14

Survival: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6

Alacorta can go by Sele´s side to defend him. And I´ll put myself in the middle to be in position to cast my spells

Survival: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Survival: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

wow

Well, not sure ow much I can help here. But I might as well roll...

Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Nice! But now we've saved all our 1's for combat...

Whoa guys, awesome rolls there.
That saves you some trouble ahead.
Sele, yes you've healed 1 str dmg.

Perception Keera: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 Too bad.

.........
Walking upon the narrow trail, Sele and Vaisil suddenly feel the ground fall before their feet.
Reflex Sele: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Reflex Vaisil: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Keera and Wulfren see the duo fall into a disguised pit.
They take Oof: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7 dmg from the fall.

Down in the pit, however, the two find the broken and partially webbed remains of what is likely one of the marquis' missing men.

Those Survival rolls ensure you don't run into more of these.

--------------------------------------------
When that incident has passed:

You exit the labyrinth of thickets and webbing, finding yourself on a clearing. Web-covered trees here are still as ominous as they were in the labyrinth and dead leaves cover the ground. A few hundred yards beyond, a low hill bare of any vegetation rises from the sea of green.

What is clear in sight, is the figure of a man in tattered clothing laboriously crawling towards you.
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Roll 2 perceptions, 1 for each seperately.

Perception check 1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Perception check 2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Guys, are you seeing that threads attached to the man coming to us? It looks he had problems with spiders, but I can see anyone. Keera checks the surroinding looking for more spiders.

After getting out of the pit Sele holds out his wand of cure light wounds
"Can someone use this to heal me and Vaisil please?

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

On feeling the empty air and falling, Vailis instinctively reacts casting feather fall as an immediate action. Both the half-elf and the nagaji calmly float until landing next to the skeleton without receiving any damage "Fiuuu! I made good training this spell. First time it saves me "

Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (13) + 0 = 13

I think Vailis can only cast one feather fall, because you only have one inmediate action. I´f I´m wrong ignore my post

I´ll cure you Sele

CLW, fey foundling: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7

Affects a creature per level so he saved us.. yay!

Yes, 1 target per level, they just have to be within 20 feet of each other :)

Not liking the man, Vailis renews his shield spell and loads a bolt in his crossbow.

"Can you see what kind of man is that?"

1) 2 gp Wulfren passes both perception checks.
2) The man is in tattered clothes, i'll give away they look like sailor clothing. But he's still many yards away.

I didn´t read it well, better this way.

A sailor! He can be one of the Balck Marquis men, so we should save and question him. Alacorta and you first, Sele?

If he agrees, Keera will ask Alacorta to defend the paladin.

"Aye" Sele approaches the man wearily and slowly sword out

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Wulfren loads his musket and gets ready.

"Careful, there's another one off in the trees."

Wulfren notices the outline of a figure in the trees, save for the details. It quickly leaves through the canopy.

Meanwhile, Sele is approaching the man on the ground.
Reflex Sele DC 20: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9Oof: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Sele takes only a minor fall, but is lying in sticky webbing.
Escape Artist DC 12, Str to break DC 16.
A strange smell is on the webbing.

You guys have 3 rounds before stuff happens.
What'll it be?

Can you stop rolling and thus failing saves for me.. please? And dc20 for when approaching wearily and slowly and no perception? Bit harsh.

escape artist: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

I'll have you know i've rolled good as well while botting or making saves for others. Vs effects worse than 1d6. :)
Blame the dice generator.

Keera moves to Sele to help him go out if it.

K. nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 Why are you smelling so strange Sele?
Escape artist aid another: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

In my opinion it is better for Chyro to continue performing those kind of passive rolls, it just helps to keep things moving. At least you can do with mine, we can always retcon if there is something you haven't considered like before with the feather fall :)

Vailis will close to Sele and cast grease on him, to help with him going out of the entangle.
+10 to escape artist and grapple checks
