GM Endless Forms' PFS 03-12 and 03-14 Wonders in the Weave Pts. I and II (5-9) (Inactive)

Game Master Mike Tuholski

Ernest sends a magic missile at the man. He responds by moving towards the open, hoping to find some reinforcements.

Initiative:

1. Guards
2. Sahar, Shin, Amiri, Ernest

Agent 3: 32 dmg

You guys are up!

Amiri looks up from her bloodbath to see the last agent running away. "Oh no you don't!" she calls out to him. Sword in hand, she charges at the agent.

Charging Power Attack: 1d20 + 13 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 13 + 2 - 2 = 21
Damage: 2d8 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (5, 7) + 9 + 6 = 27

Edited the damage roll, because I put in Desmond's greatsword damage instead.

Shin rushes past Amiri and the man, looking to cut off his escape.

Amiri brings him down before he is able to get any further and alert the other Aspis agents.

Out of combat!

Each of the three agents had a mithral chain shirt, a dagger, a longbow, and a rapier.

Ernest will ascertain the quality of stock they have here and if there's any hidden eggs. Perception (Awareness): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Meanwhile, Snouts assists with Scent-Foodfinder-Action! Perception (Scent) to-aid Ernest: 0 + 10 = 10

Shinkeer aids Ernest in searching the area.

Most of the valuables here have been packaged away already. The lizardfolk who were packing them up when you arrived are grateful for your help but tell you that the eggs are not here.

Shall we head further in?

"Yes, let us continue onward." Sahar nods.

"Sounds good to me."

Amiri keeps her sword in hand. "We've got to find those eggs..." She moves further into the chamber.

To the left lie the sleeping chambers of the Aspis. This roughly semi-circular chamber contains a number of bedrolls clinging to the shore, as far away from the water as possible, though a number of them are still muddy and moist. These bedrolls are obviously of human make, rather than the typical mud and reed nests of lizardfolk.

Ernest will search with familiar-piggy aid! Perception (awareness): 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 2 = 27

"A bedroll sure is a weird place for a note, though I guess it IS dry." Ernest finds a note and reads it. "Wow, Algorn Desmire isn't very good at herpetology; he's completely wrong about serpents and their ability to eat."

Perhaps we should move on. Should we head straight to the egg chamber?

"Sounds okay to me." Ernest agrees, handing the note around.

Sahar nods in agreement, "I believe that would be the best course of action for us, and our friends the Muckmouth."

A small waterfall drums over several protruding stones before crashing into a large pool. A strange, pulsating light emanating from a nearby cave mouth fill this pool with a vivid and intense rainbow of colors. Torn nets litter the water. Parts of the netting are still attached to the shore, but most have been torn off, and now circle the pool in the current created by the waterfall.

Two identical twin archers stand on opposite sides of the waterfall, keeping watch. They see you exiting the sleeping quarters and raise their bows to attack.

Water areas of the map are of course difficult terrain. Not more than a foot or two deep though.

Initiative:

1. Ernest and Sahar
2. Darrit and Finn
3. Shin and Amiri

Ernest and Sahar are up!

Sahar fires at #1 them moves up using the rock wall as cover. (Should be 35' move if I counted correctly.)

Deadly longbow attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Ernest will draw his MM wand, but determine that the distance is too great for all his (medium-range) spells, so he takes cover in the quarter square to the right of Sahar!
(34 charges remain on MM wand, for easier referencing.)

Sahar puts an arrow in one of them while Ernest draws his wand and takes cover as well. The archers return fire as they begin to yell out.

longbow at Shin: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

longbow at Amiri: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Initiative:

1. Ernest and Sahar
2. Darrit and Finn
3. Shin and Amiri

Darrit: 15 dmg
Finn:

You guys are up!

"ATTAAAAACK!!!" Amiri lets out a yell and starts moving towards the assailants, drawing her sword as she does so.

Double move.

Shin moves as fast as he can toward the archers.

Double Move.

Erenest will move somewhere where he has some cover and fires another Magical Missile at the same person! He'll then take a knee, he'll go to a Sitting/Kneeling position (for +2 vs Ranged attacks, -2 vs melee attacks.)

33 remain: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Sahar advances slightly, using the rock wall to her advantage and taking another shot.

Deadly longbow attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Amiri and Shin close the distance while Ernest rifles away with his wand of magic missile. Sahar looses another arrow but is distracted by the taunts.

The second archer begins to chant a little ditty and the first one fires another arrow at Amiri.

longbow: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 = 27
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Initiative:

1. Ernest and Sahar
2. Darrit and Finn
3. Shin and Amiri

Darrit: 18 dmg
Finn:

You guys are up!

Shin rounds the corner of the rock and casts a spell, sending an acidic arrow at the ditty chanting one.

RTA: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4

Amiri takes an arrow to the knee but continues to close the gap between her and the attackers.

Double move.

and then there were 32: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Same target

Advancing further, Sahar again fires at the wounded Darrit.

Deadly longbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Shin sends an acid arrow at the chanting agent! "Gah! It burns!" Amiri moves up closer with a look of fury in her eyes. Ernest continues to snipe with magic missiles. Darrit dodges out of the way of Sahar's arrow.

Finn continues to chant as he fires an arrow at Amiri.

longbow: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 1 = 17
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

His brother casts a spell.

Initiative:

1. Ernest and Sahar
2. Darrit and Finn
3. Shin and Amiri

Darrit: 14 dmg
Finn: 4 dmg

You guys are up!

Spellcraft T1: 1 + 15 = 16

Ernest fires off yet another missile at the more-damaged target!

MM, 31 left: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Deadly longbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Amiri further closes the gap. Almost there, just wait 'til you get a taste of my blade.

Addnl Acid Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

Shin moves closer and sends a trio of magic missiles at Darrit.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3, 2) + 3 = 9

Right after the man heals himself, Ernest sends a magic missile at Darrit, followed by Sahar's arrow and Shin's magic missile. The acid continues to burn Finn and Amiri moves closer.

longbow on Amiri: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 = 27
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

longbow on Shin: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 = 14
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Initiative:

1. Ernest and Sahar
2. Darrit and Finn
3. Shin and Amiri

Darrit: 40 dmg
Finn: 12 dmg

You guys are up!

Shin moves ever closer, conjuring a snowball and throwing it at the nearest archer.

RTA: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Damage: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 5, 4, 3) = 19 DC 17 Fort or staggered for a round.

Ernest, despite feeling a little inadequate at having 1/3rd the missiles of Shin, goes for duration over quantity!

MM, 30 remain: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

As Amiri has been drawing closer to the enemy, she judges her distance. From her position, she draws her sword over her head as she charges at the closest enemy, bringing the sword down in a furious slash.

Charging Power Attack: 1d20 + 13 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 13 + 2 - 2 = 22
PA Damage: 2d8 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (4, 7) + 9 + 6 = 26

Sahar shifts her target to the other man.

Deadly longbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Finn Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Shin and Finn have a snowball fight.

I could be mean and have Ernest knock over Darrit after Amiri spent all that time moving for him. . . but I'll be nice.

Ernest hits Finn with a missile while Amiri casts disintegrate on Darrit. Sahar then puts Finn down with an arrow through the eye.

Out of combat!

I was wondering if that would happen since I didn't keep straight which one was which. It would've been hilarious.

With two corpses in front of her, Amiri searches the bodies by going through all the pockets.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Shin glances down to the south.

Each of them wore glowy studded leather and had a longbow, a rapier, a glowy cloak, and a glowy ring.

Taking 10 on Spellcraft probably does it:

Shin looks at the small room to the south. A glittering mosaic sprawls across the cave floor in a moat of incandescent light. These mottled patterns of radiance undulate in an endless cascade of glorious color. Some sort of door, almost completely lost in the blaze of light, sits recessed in the far wall. Two metallic snakes slither about the floor.

scraft T10 is 25, so barring any CL 11+ items (which, honestly, happens a lot more than it should), Ernest gets them.

Ernest looks at the really old arrow. "Whoa! This thing's ancient! Like, pre-Stavian, pre-Qadiran Wars-old." Ernest looks it over. "I bet that Dalsine guy... oh... I made myself sad..."

Was going to throw out a Jacquo reference, but I forgot I actually played Dalsine Affair with this character. Whoops!

Sahar says "I could use a ring if nobody else needs it, and I probably should carry that arrow, in case it comes in handy."

Looking at the metallic snakes, Sahar quips, "Snakes? Why did it have to be snakes?"

Shin motions to Ernest. "Do you know what those things are?" He says, pointing at the metallic snakes.

Ernest is brought to look at the metallic snakes-likely-with-hoods. "Hmm..." KN(A): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

"Could they be, you know - what'sitcalled - hatchlings for these Muckmouth folk?" Amiri eyes the snakes nervously, keeping her distance.

"Baby Snakes!"
