GM Endless Forms' PFS 01-31 Sniper in the Deep (Inactive)

Game Master Mike Tuholski

Round 3, Flag Bonus, Power Att

Filios again attacks L2 with his Curveblade.

CB Att: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 2 + 3 = 11
CB Dam: 1d10 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 3 = 16

After the attack, Filios moves back 5 feet.

Oswin aims for the same enemy as before, this time putting more force behind the blow.

Power Attack, Inspire, Water: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 11 - 2 + 3 - 2 = 22
Damage, PA plus Inspire: 1d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 4 = 15
Half damage is 7.

Jorin moves abit closer to the creature (L3) and stabs at it with his long spear.
swim: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 I assume that is a success so normal attack roll and normal damage with piercing weapon
longspear attack: 1d20 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 3 = 20, if hits longspear damage: 1d8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 3 = 16

Edit: Sorry, I just realized I couldn't have moved that far and attacked for the first round. Can only go a single square as a move action. Looks like I missed anyway, but I will try to keep better track of that.

Grim us not sure which of the ghouls is still up after seeing the flurry of blades and arrows. He will swim to a position to hit either ghoul if the others do not finish them first.

If he cannot move far enough, ignore this....

hammer, reach, pa, inspire, aid, cover: 1d20 + 9 - 2 - 4 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 2 - 4 + 3 + 4 = 26 damage : 1d12 + 7 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 3 + 6 = 26

Caradeum takes down one ghoul while Oswin takes down another!

Out of combat!

Caradeum looks around the area for anything of interest, then moves to the southern aft door. "Check this one first?" He asks.

Oswin looks around the party.

"Any injuries? No?"

He speaks to Caradeum:

"That door seems fine to me."

He then moves over near the doorway.

Caradeum examines the door, but looks back to Filios. "I believe this is your area of expertise?"

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

I am not injured. Were these things guarding something or just hunting for food, I wonder.
.
While the others check the door, Jorin investigates the current room.
perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Cast detect magic.
detect magic spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

"Who knows.. Lets continue if noone needs healing.."

Filios examines the door for traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Grim swims or paddles along after the others, poking the ghoul or two on the way to make sure they stay dead.

This room is completely submerged and devoid of anything of value or interest. Its only defining feature is a hole in the center of the floor.

Finding nothing of interest the party moves back to the front of the ship. Cold and murky water fills most of this lightless room; the last few steps of the stair leading into it from above. This room, like the crew’s quarters above it, is bare. Eight hammocks hang from the ceiling, dangling just above the cold water. The submerged end deepens steadily at 2-1/2 feet every 5 feet.

Shall we?

Filios wades and then dives into the deepening end.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

swim: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Oswin nods and trudges forward, simply walking along the deck and allowing his water breathing spell to keep him safe.

Caradeum follows as well.

Filios leads the party below where the hold of the ship below contains weapons of all sorts, rusting for over a century. However, two sharks and a band of fishy-humanoids you recognize as skum guard this area!

Initiative:

1. Oswin, Caradeum, and Jorin
2. Sharks and Skum
3. Wizzy, Filios, and Grim

Oswin, Caradeum, and Jorin are up!

Oswin walks across the submerged deck as far as he can, then casts divine favor on himself.

I moved 2 squares, figured the best I could manage is half speed without a swim check. If this is wrong, please let me know - I would definitely stop at 20' (5' from foes) to cast my spell.

Caradeum swims up next in front of Oswin and casts a spell sending a cone of icy snowballs at the creatures.

Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 2, 3) = 13

Flurry of Snowballs, 30' cone. Should catch all of them. Enhanced with Rime Meta. DC 15 REF for half damage, all are entangled for two rounds.

Well that hole in the bottom makes it pretty clear it's all swimming and no walking from here on.
Before following, Jorin sticks one of the spongy things in his mouth.
Consume potion of Touch of the Sea.
.
.
When the predators are sighted, Jorin charges up to protect the Elf, stabbing the scaled hide of the shark.
long spear charge attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 14, if hits long spear damage: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 1 = 20
.
I can't move the icons from my tablet. Can someone move me to right next to Caradeum next to the hull. Thanks.

Grim will swim forward to get into range to stab next chance.

Ref: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Ref: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Ref: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Ref: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Oswin moves up and prepares for battle! Caradeum hits them with a blast of snowballs. Jorin then moves in and stabs at one of the sharks, but it jumps out of the way!

The two skum move up to go after Oswin! The on in back has to double move because of entangled but the first one can make it and attack.

trident: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 - 2 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

The first shark goes for Jorin!

bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

And the other goes for Caradeum!

bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Grim moves up into the fray!

Initiative:

1. Oswin, Caradeum, and Jorin
2. Sharks and Skum
3. Wizzy, Filios, and Grim

Sk1: 13 dmg, entangled one more round
Sk2: 13 dmg, entangled one more round
Sh1: 6 dmg
Sh2: 6 dmg

Wizzy, Filios, Oswin, Caradeum, and Jorin are up!

Pull back ya crazy Elf!
.
Damn that thing has serious teeth!
Little help here guys!
.
I will wait till after Wizzy and Filios. It could change what I do.

Wizzy starts inspire courage granting +3hit/dam, +2 saves vs Fear, +1 vs Charm..

Oswin draws his sword and swings at the skum diagonal to him (S1).

Power Attack, Divine Favor, Inspire, Water: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 2 + 5 - 2 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 4 + 2 + 3 = 16

Sorry, but I can not see the map at work. I would assume that I can get into a flanking position against the shark attacking Caradeum? If not, just have my sneak attack apply to one of the entangled skum.

Round 1, Inspired, Sneak Attack (Flanking), Power Attack

Filios moves into a flanking position and attacks the shark on Caradeum.

CB Att: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 2 + 2 + 3 = 28
CB Dam: 1d10 + 4 + 3 + 5 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 3 + 5 + (2, 6, 1) = 24

Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 9 + 2 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 2 - 2 + 3 = 32
Additional Dam: 1d10 + 4 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 3 + 5 = 22

Total Damage with Crit: 46

Quick note: All four should have been entangled, so I think the shark's attack would have missed Jorin.

Caradeum steps behind Jorin and fires an arrow at the skum to his south.

Attack, PBS, Inspire: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 + 3 - 2 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 + 3 = 11

Jorin stabs at one of the fishmen (S2) while carefully casting spell.
longspear attack: 1d20 + 7 + 3 - 3 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 3 - 3 = 10, if hits longspear damage: 1d8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 3 = 17
cast defensively dc=19: 1d20 + 5 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 3 + 3 = 29
.
Suddenly there is a brilliant flash of light in the murky water!
Glitterdust centered just in front of Shark2 should catch all 4 of them and none of us. Will save dc=15 or blinded until save.

Ok, I am home so I can move things on the map. I think I moved everyone where they indicated. I put a yellow circle for the glitterdust spread.
Caradeum, I moved you 5' diagonal up and right.
Grim, I moved you 1 space forward which puts you in reach range of skum S2.
Filios, least sure of yours. To flank a shark you would have to move past the skum and through the space of 1 shark. That would be at least 40' of movement and at least 2 maybe 3 acrobatics checks to avoid the AoO. From your statement, I don't think you wanted to try that. So I moved you forward in front of skum S1. That isn't flanking though. Does entangled give you sneak attack? I don't know.
If those positions aren't correct, please let me know or move them if you can.

I think that entangled does make you lose your Dex. Thanks

Grim will stab at the close skum(S2) with his long hammer.

+1 Lucern hammer,pa,bard: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 2 + 3 = 26 for dmg, pa, bard: 1d12 + 7 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 6 + 3 = 22

If it drops, he will spend his move to swim forward.

I think that entangled does make you lose your Dex. Thanks

Entangled: The character is ensnared. Being entangled impedes movement, but does not entirely prevent it unless the bonds are anchored to an immobile object or tethered by an opposing force. An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) or lose the spell.

Ok, I'm back! Wedding went well, the weather held out long enough for the ceremony, and everyone is thoroughly exhausted now.

@Caradeum: Yes, you're right. I thought that if they made the save they weren't entangled, clearly didn't double-check myself.

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Wizzy inspires! Oswin slices one of the skum in two! Filios takes out the other skum! Meanwhile, Caradeum puts an arrow into one of the sharks and Jorin blinds one of them with glitter although his longspear attack misses. Grim finishes the first shark off!

The blinded shark lashes out wildly at Jorin!

bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
miss chance, high hits: 1d100 ⇒ 44
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

The shark regains its sight in the process though!

Initiative:

1. Oswin, Caradeum, and Jorin
2. Sharks and Skum
3. Wizzy, Filios, and Grim

Sh2: 6 dmg, entangled

You guys are up!

Grim will move as needed and stab at another shark.

hammer, pa, flag : 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 9 - 2 + 3 = 23 for Dmg : 1d12 + 7 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 6 + 3 = 21

Grim takes out the shark!

Out of combat!

GM EndlessForms, I put a couple of letters in the side view picture on the map. Did this fight take place in level A or level B?

Grim looks around for any treasury stuff.

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

If none apparent, he will press onward, fearing he will run out of air or something.

Ok, I'm back! Thanks for being patient everyone! Sorry for the unannounced absence but it was a bit out of my hands. Internet service was supposed to start up last week, which would have put me without internet for only two days but after three calls to tech support they ended up having to come out and install a new port in our house to get it working. Phew! What an ordeal!

---

@Jorin: level B, the very bottom of the ship.

---

Grim leads the way up the watery staircase to the level above.

Though slick and wet, the room is not submerged (the water ends at the top of the stairs). Skeletons of long-dead sailors litter the floor. Three sunrods lie in various corners of the room, filling it with a pale yellow glow. Vaydren’s corpse—a scattering of bones long picked white by fish—lies in the northwest corner among the others, still encased in his recognizable full plate, with his longsword and Wayfinder lying nearby.

Couched by the stairwell, fruitlessly trying to open a chest that will not budge, is a short balding man in dark half-plate. He looks up and reaches for the hilts of his shortswords as the party enters the room!

Initiative:

1. Wizzy, Caradeum, Filios, Oswin, and Jorin
2. Dargo and baddies
3. Grim

Everyone but Grim is up!

Round 1, Power Attack, Sneak Att (Flat-Footed Enemy)

Filios slips around and brings his Curveblade down on his foe.

CB Att: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 2 = 21
CB Dam: 1d10 + 4 + 5 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 5 + (3, 1, 1) = 15

Oswin casts Divine Favor and steps forward to engage the enemy.

Wizzy starts his inspire courage adding +3 to hit and damage total..

I can't see the map at work and may not have a chance for a while. Someone please move Jorin to within 15' of the guy. Thx.
.
Since he is out of the restricting water, Jorin drops the spear and pulls out the whip he much prefers.
Now let's have some fun with this traitorous scum boy!
.
Free action drop, move, draw weapon as part of a move action, swift action arcane pool to add another +2 to the whip, standard action trip.
whip trip with arcane pool and inspire courage: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 2 + 3 = 31
.
With a deft flip he sends the cord coiling around the figures ankle and gives a swift tug to try and yank his feet out from under him.

Caradeum swims backward and fires his bow at the man.

Attack, PBS, Inspire, Cover: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 + 3 - 4 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 + 3 = 6

Filios leaps into action and puts his blade into the side of the sniveling thief! Oswin and Wizzy prepare for battle and Jorin uses his whip to put the man on the ground! Caradeum (no longer swimming) steps around and fires his bow, only putting an arrow into the nearby wood.

Dargo calls out to Norgorber for assistance and a foul energy washes over the party!

negative energy: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 3, 2) = 10
DC 16 Will save for half.

He then also calls out, "Vaydren! Vaydren, I didn't call you back to sit around! Defend! Defend!" A ghostly figure rises from the remains of Vaydren in the corner, its shimmering form moving to Caradeum and reaching out to touch the elf!

touch attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
damage: 6d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 1, 2, 5, 2) = 18
DC 17 Fort for half

Initiative:

1. Wizzy, Caradeum, Filios, Oswin, and Jorin
2. Dargo and Vaydren
3. Grim

D: 15 dmg, prone

You guys are up!

Grim will see the newcomer and try to hit it with his +1 lucern hammer.

kn:rel: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
hammer,pa, flag?: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 2 + 3 = 29 for dmg: 1d12 + 7 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 6 + 3 = 19

will save vs neg channel: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13, so only 5 damage.

GM Endless, I assume Dargo has a holy symbol visible? I will wait until I can see the map for my actions since there are 2 opponents and positioning matters more.

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Caradeum cringes at unholy energy, then steps back away from the creature.
He then casts a spell, hastening his party's movements.

Haste

Will Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Oswin swings his sword at the armored man, trying to deliver a shearing cut.

Power Attack, Divine Favor, Inspire: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 2 + 5 = 17
Damage, DF, Inspire: 1d8 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 4 + 2 + 3 = 17
