GM Endless Forms' PFS 04-17 Tower of the Ironwood Watch (Inactive)

Game Master Mike Tuholski

As Solvox stands up Xue hits him but Red Hair is not as lucky!

Osric puts two arrows into Zolvato!

Flinders then puts Zolvato on the ground!

Xue misses his target but with Zolvato on the ground Red Hair is able to stomp and bite with ease!

Initiative:

1. Owai
2. Solvox and Zolvato
3. Osric, Flinders, Xue, and Red Hair

Solvox: 10 dmg
Zolvato: 47 dmg

Owai is up!

AoO 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Owai steps to the side and begins to spin on the balls of his feet, his scimitar flashing.

5ft step, begin Dervish Dance, attack defensively, current AC 27, 31 vs first attack against him.
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

EDIT: oops! I didn't pay close attention. If anything happens to change this when the bad guys go, I'll be happy to update. But now that I have some good attack rolls I'm going to leave them up just in case I really do get to use them.

With the fight moving to closer quarters Osric drops his bow. He steps up while drawing his axe, and takes a couple of swings at Solvox.

Cold Iron Greataxe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Greataxe: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Greataxe: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Confirm?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Owai slices into the drow!

Solvox steps out of flank and attacks Owai!

mwk rapier: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Zolvato slashes at Xue before taking a step to the side.

+1 elven curve blade: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
damage: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (5, 4) + 2 = 11

+1 elven curve blade: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Initiative:

1. Owai
2. Solvox and Zolvato
3. Osric, Flinders, Xue, and Red Hair

Solvox: 24 dmg
Zolvato: 47 dmg

You guys are up!

With Solvox moving further away, can we ret-con my attack to a full attack with my bow?

Seeing Solvox fall back, Osric again looses the fury of his bow with three quick shots.

Rapid Shot #1: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 1 - 2 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11

Rapid Shot #2: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 12 + 1 - 2 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

Longbow: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

Xue strikes at the troublesome and unfriendly dark skinned creature. (Zolvato)

Neigh!

The horse bites at Zovato.

Owai continues to duel Solvox, his stance ever shifting.

Fighting Defensively, Activate Snake Style with Fuse Styles, Dervish Dance, AC 27, 31 vs. first attack from him.
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
1d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Flinders circles around and whips out at Solvox.

Whip Trip!: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 2 = 26

Osric puts three arrows in Solvox and takes him down!

Xue, Red Hair, and Owai then quickly take down Zolvato!

Out of combat!

"What were thosssse thingssss called? It wasss very rude for them to attack ussss."

Flinders begins examining all the glowing items.

"I'm not sure Xue. Some kind of elves? Hey Flinders, tell me about those arrows if you can, would you?"

"By the way, was anyone hurt? I can use my wand or yours if you have one"

Xue scratches a bleeding spot that is already starting to scab over.

"Yessss friend, I wass wounded. You would have my gratituuude."

Osric grabs his wand and taps Xue on the shoulder twice.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"How's that? I can do more if you need it."

EDIT: Add one casting from Xue's wand.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

"One more, please. You may use my wand!"

He holds out a wand with a Tien label dangling from it.

Also CLW wand

Flinders is unsure about the arrows. Everything else:

+1 chain shirt, +1 elven curve blade, aegis of recovery, +1 drow sleep poisoned shock bolts (10), belt of tumbling

Flinders looks at Osric and shrugs. "Sorry, the arrow's qualities escape me."

Owai uses Xue's wand on him.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"Well equipped, weren't they?" he asks before turning to look into the room through the South doorway. A glow appears around his head, giving him light to see by.

Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Owai leads the party to the south.

Wooden bookshelves line nearly every inch of the walls in this circular room, creating an octagonal library stocked with bound volumes of all sizes. Despite the slightly damp conditions elsewhere in the basement, the air in this room is dry, and the shelves and books are all in unbelievably good condition. A small passage in the north end of the room opens into a larger room beyond, and an excavated tunnel descends sharply to the south.

Even casual perusal of the books suggests that every Thassilonian citizen allowed into the forest passed through this checkpoint.

"Just a moment, fellows. Let's check out this room to the east before we head into that tunnel."

Osric moves over to the eastern room, taking his time to check for danger.

Perception take 10 = 21.

Flinders joins Osric in searching the room.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

Xue enthusiastically climbs off Red Hair to aid Flinders. +3 to aid

Owai provides light to the searchers from his halo while sorting through the titles on the shelves.

Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Osric leads the party back to examine the other room.

Yellow puffball fungi nearly a foot in diameter and chunks of orange and purple crystal glow faintly in the gloom of this round chamber. Strange plaster frescoes depicting acts of violence cover the walls, and in the center of the floor stands an altar made of petrified wood that supports a collection of decaying eyeballs laid in an offering bowl like a demented still-life.

---

Those who make the first KN (nature) check above can act in the surprise round!

Initiative:

1. Osric, Xue and Red Hair, and Owai
2. Creature(s)
3. Flinders

KN: nature: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Flinders eyes open wide. "A mandragora! They have a horrible shriek that sickens!" Flinders takes a single step toward Red Hair and Owai as he reaches into his bandolier, removing an object that looks like a stone. Holding it out to the other men, he says. One of you take this and smash it on the ground. It will deafen us for a while. Everyone, keep your ears open!"

Edit: KN: planes/religion: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

"Flinders is right! Be ready!"

Osric sends an arrow streaking towards the plant!

Cold Iron arrow w/ PBS: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 1 = 31
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Xue blinks uncomprehendingly in as his comrades spring to action.

"A temple of Shax! Demon lord of Envy, Lies and Murder!" Owai exclaims, recognition dawning in his eyes as he sees the eyeballs.

Owai is unprepared for the sudden jump into action, however.

Knowledge: Planes 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Neigh?

Unfortunately Flinders goes after.

Osric springs into action and puts an arrow in the plant!

The plant lets out a horrible shriek.

DC 15 Will save or nauseated for 1d4 ⇒ 3 rounds

As it lets out its wail, another creature pops into the room!

---

Flinders then holds out his thunderstone, to little avail.

Initiative:

1. Osric, Xue and Red Hair, and Owai
2. Mandragora and demon
3. Flinders

M: 8 dmg

Osric, Xue, and Owai are up!

Xue starts regurgitating half digested chicken corpses, his throat distending in a fascinating way.

Red hair staggers and experiences bulimia.

So then the plant got a surprise round action as well. I was thinking those three got a normal before the plant went. Ack! The best laid plans.....

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Osric begins to feel his lunch getting VERY unsettled. He as far from the the doorway as he can.

DANG! Second scenario in a row I've gotten the nauseated condition w/ this character!

Oh, right, forgot...

Xue ignores the regurgitating contents of his stomach and moves to block the door.

Will Save 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Owai, used to listening to nauseating screaming, having volunteered for the Absalom Orphans' Choir for the last few months, is not overcome by the plant's noise.

Knowledge: Planes 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

"And an Incubus! Cold Iron or good-infused weapons will work best, and it has an innate resistance to magic." he says. He draws a vial from his belt and applies it to his Scimitar which begins to glow with a faint silvery light.

Draw and apply Oil of Bless Weapon to his Scimitar.

Osric, Xue, and Red Hair all begin vomiting.

Owai seems less affected by the scream and spends a few seconds applying an oil to his blade.

---

The mandragora moves up a few feet and lashes a tentacle out at Xue!

slam: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The incubus draws a scimitar and then suddenly disappears, reappearing next to Flinders!

Initiative:

1. Osric, Xue and Red Hair, and Owai
2. Mandragora and Incubus
3. Flinders

M: 8 dmg

You guys are up!

Osric tries to stop himself from vomiting, and looks around at the situation. He sees the enemy is divided.

Between gags he is able to blurt out a short statement:

"Hang...on...fighting demons...my specialty. Once...feeling better!"

Evil outsiders are one of my favored enemies, at +4 to hit and damage. But if you guys kill it in the next two rounds I won't be offended!

Xue pulls out a potion Which provokes?

"Flindersss, for Osssric... feed to him..., and then proceeds to gag once again.

Flinders frowns as he hears Xue, but has an incubus breathing down his neck. "Eh, a little preoccupied at the moment." Drawing his cold iron rapier, he stabs at the demon as he calls on his luck!

Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9

After stabbing the foul creature, he takes a step back.

Spellcraft 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Owai vaults himself towards the demon, his Scimitar flashing. "It can teleport as well, apparently..." he says. He slashes at the Incubus, shifting his stance.

Swift to engage Crane Style, Charge, attack defensively.
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Current AC 25, 29 vs its first attack.

Jennix stabs into the incubus! The cold iron seems to hurt it!

Osric continues to vomit and Xue pulls out a potion.

slam AoO on Xue: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
DC 15 Fort save against poison; fail means you gain confusion and fatigue

Owai charges in and slashes at the demon!

---

The mandragora steps(?) forward and continues to go after Xue!

damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
grab: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

2. Mandragora and Incubus
3. Flinders

M: 8 dmg
I: 20 dmg

You guys are up!

Xue is distracted momentarily as the creature finds a hole in his defenses, but coughs up more bird feathers before he can do anything about it. He is too stubborn to notice the poison.

Red hair's nausea continues as well.

Jennix is my "other" Archeo... :)

Flinders moves past Osric and attacks the incubus again.

Rapier!: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 = 8

Osric continues to feel the nausea, hacking up nothing at this point as he's lost his entire previous meal. He does take a couple steps to get near the center of the room next to Red Hair.

Last round of nauseated?

Thanks for rolling the confirmation for me, Xue. I was posting in a flurry this morning and missed that 20.

@Flinders: Lol. Character crossover. Just saw the rapier attack from an archaeologist and thought of Jennix.

Xue continues to puke.

Flinders stabs into the incubus!

Osric continues to dry-heave.

Initiative:

1. Osric, Xue and Red Hair, and Owai
2. Mandragora and Incubus
3. Flinders

M: 8 dmg
I: 28 dmg

Owai is up!

Owai spins and whirls, trying to get behind the Demon before slashing at it again with his blessed scimitar.

Swift to engage Snake Style with Fuse Styles. Acrobatics to get through threatened area. Attack defensively with flank. AC against AoO is 23, AC after that is 27 and 31 vs first attack from it.
1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16 That may not beat his CMD. Anticipating that it isn't, use Snake Style, expending next turn's Swift action.
1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30 AC becomes 30 for the AoO

Attack
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

AoO: 1d20 + 14 - 3 ⇒ (15) + 14 - 3 = 26
damage: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 4 = 13

Owai moves around and slashes but misses the demon!

The mandragora continues to go after Xue!

Finally coming back in control of himself, Osric takes aim at the demon and unleashes with his bow.

Cold Iron arrow #1, PBS, RS, Favored Enemy: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 1 - 2 + 4 = 25
