GM Endless Forms' PFS 04-09 The Blakros Matrimony (Inactive)

Game Master Mike Tuholski

Probably.
We don´t see them, but you can try to pinpoint them with perception, guess the square and attack that square. If it´s the right one you have a 50% hit chance.

Unless they are invisible, you don't need the Perception Check, the "guessing" for total concealment is the 50% miss chance. Also, the babaus are only immune to electricity and poison, and resistant to everything else. Matteo will probably have to switch to elemental damage soon, other wise he literally has nothing ot do.

I moved Matteo where I think you wanted to be. Is that the right spot?

Ah i just remembered, Tomoe has an everburning torch. Time to switch the light back on :D

Edit: Upon reading the rules for that, i think continual flame doers not cancel the darkness. But i can still get rid of that dim light around it.
Maybe Meg hits then hehe.

Please. ;-;

DC 15 Fort Save or staggered for 1 round. Oh dang. If it is cold resist 10, I didn't do anything.

The wording of the Frost Bombs entry seems to suggest that you don't have to do damage to make them staggered, you just have to hit.

True. Very true.

Tomoe has darkvision for the next hour and can actually see in the darkness. As long as nobody casts deeper darkness, there is only normal darkness.

It's already deeper darkness; the "guard" cast deeper darkness in the first or second round.

Well, then we don´t see.

Moved you again, Matteo, if that's all right. :3

A word of caution: Meg is about to die up there and the demons really have no better targets right now. It's not a terrible strategy for someone else to move up there and act like a punching bag for a round to keep Meg alive.

I had a similar situation with a construct that knocked the rogue unconscious and everyone else started to withdraw. I had to remind them that if the construct had no one else to go after its most likely action was to coupe de gras the rogue. So someone else moved up there and voluntarily got beat up to keep the rogue from dying.

I don't want to tell you guys how to play this combat out, but I also don't like killing PCs when I don't have to and these guys are really tearing Meg apart.

Aw crap. I should've stepped in. Also, I should've given my extract of shield to Meg - but I mistakenly thought she already had a shield.

GM, since I took a standard action and a 5-foot step, can I amend my previous turn to include drawing Maaarv's extract of shield from his bandolier?

Sure. I'd even let you amend taking a 5' step towards the demon if you started in the corner.

Yeah, let's do that.

Is that ok if i switch on the everburning torch as a move action?

Jaysin, while a ranged character, is a fighter and would have stepped up in such a noble situation, however he is on death's door as well (2 HP) so he'll continue to fire off arrows.

Is that ok if i switch on the everburning torch as a move action?

It is generally a standard action to activate magic items.

Wait, why am I not overcoming DR? I have a smite active on both babaus. Do I need to overcome it with good AND cold iron?

Well, then it has to wait. I didn´t find the description for activating that torch anywhere, but guess you are right.

Endless, Meg does have a Smite active on each Babau.

Here

And Here

Once per day, a paladin can call out to the powers of good to aid her in her struggle against evil. As a swift action, the paladin chooses one target within sight to smite. . . .

No, you only need cold iron or good, but you declared your smite on B2 so you are not bypassing DR with B1. I don't think I accounted for that before because I had forgotten which one you declared your smite on. But when I looked back you had declared it on B2. So you are bypassing DR with B2 but not on B1.

I don't remember you smiting the other one as well but maybe you did and I missed it (or you could easily have done so with a swift action on your turn). I think you can have multiple smites up at the same time. At least I don't see anything that says you can't.

Ninja'd by Maaarv!

Ok, I must've forgotten about/missed the second one. Well that's good then. I'll adjust the damage from Meg's last hit then.

Cool, thanks. Sorry about the confusion. :)

No problem!

In the same vein of me messing things up in the combat, I just remembered that babau have sneak attack and should have been doing +2d6 while flanking Meg! GM mistake in your favor so not going to fix that now. Besides, if they started doing sneak attack damage on you I'm sure you would have 5' stepped out of flank right away anyways.

.____.

Thank you for accidentally not sneak attacking me to death.

Yeah, this combat is pretty brutal. And there's actually supposed to be a third babau but you guys have the four player adjustment which removes one of them.

Note to self - cold iron bolts!

Also, does holy water bypass a demon's DR?

I think holy water only damages undead. I could be wrong but I've never seen it used against demons.

A direct hit by a flask of holy water deals 2d4 points of damage to an undead creature or an evil outsider. Each such creature within 5 feet of the point where the flask hits takes 1 point of damage from the splash.

Cool. Maaarv is picking up some holy water after this.

Damn, I should have given you mine! :P

Go ahead and make Day Job rolls if you have them. Also, please post your PFS number for my easy access. Thanks!

A real nail-biter. So glad everyone will survive.

Sorry I missed the end of the combat guys... yesterday was a 15 hoUr work day... and today was 10.

PFS # 81531-13

Day Job Craft Alchemy: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

That work day sounds nuts, glad to see you again.

Also, we haven't quite finished! The demon is on its last legs, it's your move, and it could still prove a threat! You can do it! :D

I highly doubt I got ppast its SR, let alone its touch AC... Sorry guys, Itoo am near death and hope this doesn't end up a TPk...

-Posted with Wayfinder

I think we're okay. Even if the demon lands all three attacks on Maaarv, he won't quite be dead (but he will be negative) without some critical hits. And I moved far away enough that it can't full attack me. The only thing that really concerns me is what's going on in the darkness. I think a Detect Evil is in order once I get a chance...

Chronicles have been sent via PM! Thanks for playing everyone; I had a good time! I've got a couple other games about to wrap up so I'll probably be starting more next week so pay attention to the Flaxseed Lodge.

I'll close this campaign down later today.

Sounds good Mike. If you plan on doing any modules I'd been interested but anything you do is something I'm interested in. Seems I suddenly have a number of guys looking for work.

What´s the flaxseed lodge?

Thanks for the game was fun!

Thanks for running this! It was great to play this character in a PbP setting. :)

What´s the flaxseed lodge?

Thanks for the game was fun!

My halfling archaeologist started his own Lodge (yep, paid the 50 PP for it and everything). People use it to hang out and watch for my future games, as I generally announce them there ahead of time. I only use public recruitment if the Lodge announcement doesn't fill the game up.

Cool! Will watch and dot it!

If you want to play yourself, be my guest please!
I´ll restart my Skull & Shackles too soon.

Wait, what? Skull and Shackles? I've never played any of that.

Sorry about disappearing toward the end guys... also, tomoe, I have been in a couple s and s games that petered out... if you need a player, I would lvoe to get in that
