GM Endless Forms' PFS 00-05 Mists of Mwangi (Inactive)

Game Master Mike Tuholski

Kyroden begins to call apon his powers & moves towards the injured one.

Round 3:

"Get back, you idiot!" If Glist moves out of the way, Morvius will take a 5' step to finish where Glist started out. The half-elf takes a swing at the Legionnaire, but is again unable to penetrate its armor.

Attack on final foe: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Rogdar grunts in annoyance at Glist's lingering but nevertheless sees an opportunity in the halflings delay. The dwarf sidesteps into a flank against the Bronze Legionnaire, using the injured Quiven as a distraction.
Warhammer attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 181d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

My mind... its feels like its not my own, though I have control. I can't think straight. One moment I'm filled with aggressiveness, the next I just want to crawl under a rock with fear. Things seem to be happening sooo fast right now... what is with this hair? The mist... ugh, I'm bleeding! I'm going to die here as some creature! This is not how I thought my career would start... or end! I want to rip something to pieces right now!

Quiven continues to hold his position on the floor, clutching his wound, afraid to do anything at all in fear of dying from his actions.

Kyroden finishes his whispers..Casting my healing Hex on Glist

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 May the stars shine on youKryroden says

The attacks by Morvius and Rogdar bounce off the armor of the Bronze Legionnaire as Kyroden heals up his cowering friend. The Bronze Legionnaire swings his longsword down on Morvius.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

1. Glist, Morvius, Kyroden, and Rogdar
2. Bronze Legionnaire

Round 4:

Morvius staggers back 5', badly wounded, and scrabbles for his bow, managing to hit the walking corpse. Whether he does any damage through its armor remains to be seen, though.

Arrow to the Legionnaire, incl. PBS: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19
Arrow damage, incl. PBS: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

"Why won't ya just DIE!?!" Rogdar roared as he brought his warhammer down at the armoured undead.
Warhammer attack (still flanking)1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
But the nimble skeleton easily sidesteps the strike.
Damn

I thought I posted earlier but I don't see it now...

Quiven, now fully healed, regains his lost courage and slashes at the Legionnaire with his rapier.

Rapier: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Kyroden May the stars hear your need Cast healing hex on Morvius

Everyone's attacks seem to be bouncing off the shined armor of the warrior. The Bronze Legionnaire lifts its longsword against Rogdar.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

1. Glist, Morvius, Kyroden, and Rogdar
2. Bronze Legionnaire

Frustrated that the creature refuses to yield, Quiven lashes out wildly with his rapier once more.

Rapier: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 2 = 11
Damage+Sneak Attack from Flanking: 1d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + (3) = 4

The dwarf continues to assail the undead,
Warhammer: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 111d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Ugh!

Did the 19 do damage?

Healing on Morvius
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Round 5:

Morvius grunts and nods at Kyroden, then takes another shot at the armored figure. He grimaces as the arrow glances off its bronze carapace.

Arrow to the knee: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 = 15

No, the 19 did not hit last time.

The Bronze Legionnaire hacks at Rogdar once again.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

1. Glist, Morvius, Kyroden, and Rogdar
2. Bronze Legionnaire

Also, just so you know:

Healing (Su): A witch can soothe the wounds of those she touches. This acts as a cure light wounds spell, using the witch's caster level. Once a creature has benefited from the healing hex, it cannot benefit from it again for 24 hours. At 5th level, this hex acts like cure moderate wounds.

I believe Morvius and Glist have received a Healing Hex already.

I actually healed Glist first, I realized I said was healing Morvius but did not roll for him.

Round 6:

"Kyroden, try to heal it!" With some of the damage healed, Morvius switches back to sword & shield and prepares to move back in.

"come on now, my darling heal the nice man"
Kyroden says to his mace.

OOC: According to James Jacobs, you can use Healing Hex to harm undead. Discussion thread (scroll to bottom of page) HERE.
Rogdar, pleased that he is distracting the undead, continues swinging his hammer in the hopes of finding a weak point in the undead's armour.
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 91d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Damn my rolls suck.

That's what Morvius was suggesting, but since all of you have INT 6 it's in character to act that way.

Quiven will continue to hack away at the creature despite his previously futile attempts.

Rapier: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

What's that my love? Kyroden asks his mace. [b] I should touch the bad man to heal him? [ /B]
Moving to the Undead guy then rolling for touch attack & using my hex

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Healing 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Kyroden-I assume a healing hex holds its charge just like a regular touch spell so you can try your free touch attack again next round.

All of your attacks seem to be bouncing off of his armor. The Bronze Legionnaire turns to Quiven and slashes downward with his sword.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

1. Glist, Morvius, Kyroden, and Rogdar
2. Bronze Legionnaire

Rince, repeat
Warhammer1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 141d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Quiven doesn't like the idea of being attacked again but he is too intent on the task of slashing at the fiend.

Rapier: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Sneak Atttack Damage for flanking that I keep forgetting: 1d6 ⇒ 3

I am assuming the samething, I see nothing different
To touch and to damage
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Round 7:

Morvius tries to time a feint to set the Legionnaire up for Quiven's strike, but fails miserably. Good thing missing an Aid Another attempt doesn't mess up the person you're trying to help :-0.

Aid Another for +2 to Quiven's attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

With a mighty thrust of his rapier, Quiven finds a weak spot in the Bronze Legionnaire's armor and brings it to the ground.

Out of combat

"Stay here and don't touch anything."

Morvius takes a minute to gather up the weapons and armor on the bodies and set it aside for later examination. Then he motions towards the door on the far wall. "That way. Rogdar, go first."

Kyroden goes with Morvius to look at bodies.

Quiven awaits further instruction, still in the process of calming his bloodlust of the battle.

Upon closer examination, it is clear that the Osirion Scarab Seer was a ghoul, likely activated by the evil mist that permeates the museum. He was wearing a scarab broach that acts as a feather token (bird).

The Proto-Kellid War Chief's bones were scattered a bit in the fight but among the clothes you find a lard tusk that serves as a masterwork ivory greatclub.

The Qadiran Warlord has also disintegrated into a pile of bones. He was carrying a masterwork alchemical silver scimitar.

The Bronze Legionnaire was wearing bronze half-plate and carried a longsword.

Looking around the room, you notice a fifth body that must have refused to answer to the mist's call. A Mwangi warrior, his body preserved in hot mud, stands against the wall clutching a bone-handled kukri with a jade-carved blade. The nearby plaque (for those of you with sufficient Int to read it) explains that he was a member of the Jambala Jaeg tribe, a people who once vehemently opposed Angazhan's followers in the Mwangi Expanse and were wiped out for their opposition.

When you enter the next room, you see that the door to this chamber was once a pane of expensive frosted glass, which now lies in broken shards on the floor. Within, several desks lie overturned, papers in disarray, and chairs smashed to kindling. A sturdy steel cabinet sits against the back wall, its doors much battered and dented.

The mist here rolls near the floor and ceiling, creating a strange patch of visibility stretching from knee-height to a few feet overhead. The smoky tendrils flow up and down the walls unnaturally and savage visages swirl to life, fanged mouths agape, before dissolving into mist once more.

Morvius takes the scimitar for his own use and hands the greatclub to Rogdar. "Anyone good with locks?"

Rogdar admires his new club, but is interrupted by Morvius' question. "Huh? Nah... Maybe the little man. Hey Glist! Ya good with locks?"

Locks? Yes, I know how to use a lock, why are they asking me such a simple question. Oh, I think he means opening them without a key. I have tools for that!

"Um, yes... yes of course I am!"

Quiven searches for and eventually locates his tools. "OK, I'm ready, but I'm not going in there alone. Someone lead the way to this lock you want me to be good with."

Tools in one hand, rapier in the other, I'll follow someone into the room and, if I can, take 20s for finding/disabling traps and opening the lock in question. If rolls are needed, you can make them for me as I'll be in bed soon. My Disable Device is +7.

Scimitar in hand, Morvius leads the halfling in.

"Suppose I'll cover the door" Rogdar grunts.
Rogdar makes sure Kyroden is inside first.

Kyroden still mumbling to his mace follows in the door

As Quiven and the rest of the party move across the room, they hear scuffling from inside the steel cabinet. Someone tentatively whispers, "Hello?"

However, just then two hairy ape-like figures drop down from the mist-covered ceiling on either side of Morvius and begin to beat on him.

Surprise Round:

Kadarnik Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Kadarnik Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Yannis Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Yannis Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The person inside the cabinet begins to scream hoarsely.

Initiatives:
1. Kadarnik and Yannis
2. Everyone else

The ape-men fling their arms at Morvius again.

Kadarnik Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Kadarnik Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Yannis Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Yannis Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Initiatives:
1. Kadarnik and Yannis
2. Everyone else

Round 1:

Morvius is disabled, and takes a 5' step back out of the flank.

Quiven moves into position to attack the one known as Kadarnik.

Rapier: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Rogdar blinks in surprise at the arrival of the ape-men. Grinning, he readies his dwarven waraxe and assails the one known as Yannis.
Waraxe attack on Yannis: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 171d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
N.B. I'm assuming I don't have a flank.

OOC: Funny, I just realised yesterday that my waraxe does more damage than the warhammer. Facepalm

Not looking at the map I am posting from my iPhone

Kyroden steps up to the closes ape & swings with his mace.
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Kadarnik turns to Kyroden and throws a hairy paw at him.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Yannis attempts to his Rogdar.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Initiatives:
1. Kadarnik and Yannis
2. Everyone else

Does that mean both Rogdar and Kyroden's attacks missed?
Rogdar blocks a meaty claw to the face with his shield, Rogdar grinning back in contempt. He snarls as he hefts his axe for another strike.
Waraxe attack on Yannis: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
NICE! Attempting to confirm!
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
That's probably a critical hit.

If it is NOT a critical hit, Yannis takes 10 damage
If it IS a critical hit add an additional:1d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10. For a total of 20 damage.

EDIT:
Woops. My mistake. If Rogdar made a normal hit (no crit) then he inflicts:
10 points of damage.
If the attack was a critical, he instead inflicts:
20 + 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 = 30 damage.
I just realised, Dwarven waraxes have a x3 crit, not x2.
