GM Endless Forms' PFS 05-24 Assault on the Wound (Inactive)

Game Master Mike Tuholski

Mu is ready

"Hmm.. wait a second." Shu looks out the windows, then examines the maps. Then looks behind the maps.

Search the room, take 20. If there is nothing alarming, then he'll be ready to descend, though he suggests the group use both trap doors at the same time to get more people through faster.

Shu finds nothing but old, used battle plans and maps.

I'll continue pausing for Yanos because he generally likes to buff before going into fights when he knows they're coming.

I offered buffs for others earlier. Still waiting on an answer.

Did it get eaten? I don't see anything. Unless you mean way earlier, before the tiefling fight.

I will take what ever you can offer me

I can do a Shield of Faith, Barkskin, and Shield Other. Shield of Faith can be done twice as can either Barkskin or Shield of Faith through Pearls of Power. I can aslo do an Enlarge Person from a wand, (not sure just how good that might be for us, though).

On myself, I'll cast Magic Circle vs Evil for now. All the others but Shield of Faith have pretty long durations, but keep in mind with Shield Other, you need to constantly stay pretty close to me or it ends the spell.

Otherwise, I'm ready to go.

I would a def that stacks with my full plate and an enlarge person if I can fit down the whole with it

Shield of Faith is a +3 Defletion for 7 mins.
Barkskin is a +3 Natural Armor for 70 mins (I think).
Shield Other gives the target a few +1's, but it means I take half their damage for them, (good for the lower HP/Level characters), but it does greatly increase my chance of getting hurt out of no where. Magic Circle gies everyone that is within 10ft of me a +2 Deflectio to AC vs Saves and a +2 Resistance to Saves, but only against Evil creatures/attacks, and also blocks certain mental influences.

Ru plans on throwing bombs, so I don't think he needs any additional buffs right now.

Vitor will take any AC buffs that are left over.

Shu is good to go.

Grundar -> BarkSkin and Enlarge Person
Vitor -> Barkskin and Shield Other.
Me -> Magic Circle vs Evil
And ready to go.

With that, I'll order Drop to stay up top and guard the door (don't like to have too many players in a PbP), and do a quick inspection on the room.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27

Taking a look through the windows, and kind of admiring their color, I'll comment "Anyone have a preference? I'm keen on going right, if it doesn't matter."

"Shhh." Shu waves at the others to stay quiet. As they prepare for battle he listens at both trap doors, his white monkey mimicking his actions.

Trap Door 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Trap Door 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

He will also detect for magic.

Once everyone is ready, he tries to stealthily open the right hand trap door a crack and peek through.

Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

When Shu gives the all clear, Ru will open the other trapdoor, preparing to enter from that direction.

"I wish to be the first one down on one side. They enemy wont touch my defense and i will remove any armor that the enemy has

Ok, sounds like you want to drop down both ways at the same time. Hopefully I put you in decent positions but rearrange if not.

Twin ladders lead down into this bottom chamber of the bunker. Only 15 feet separates the northern and southern walls, and the southern wall is home to a 15-ft.-wide set of ominously large teeth. A single metal lever rests to the west of these odd teeth.

A fiendish looking man with horns and wings stands in the chamber looking out over the battlefield. There seem to be 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 additional men standing in his spot and his form is blurry and nondistinct.

Initiative:

1. Yanos, Grundar, Shu, Vitor, Ruprecht, and Mu
2. Warlord Brae-Hagen

2 images

You guys are up!

what armor/weapons does he seem to be wearing or wielding

-Posted with Wayfinder

I guess I should say any of them what are any of them wearing or wielding

-Posted with Wayfinder

He is wearing a glowing breastplate and wielding a shortspear that is one fire.

Ruprecht drops through the hole and throws an acidic bomb at the demon.

Ranged Touch 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Damage 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2) + 4 = 7

"Hoo! That's one big oni", Mu says, not realizing he was not about to face a mere tiefling.

He drinks a Prot from Evil potion

-Posted with Wayfinder

My first round action will be to call out to the people below, "Your armies are vanquished. The forces of Taldor and other aligned warriors have surrounded this foul tower. Surrender, and turn from this evil."

Shu springs a wand to hand and casts a spell, eyeing the multiple blurred images of the enemy below. He then focuses his ki and vanishes from sight.

True strike. Vanishing trick. Staying at the top of the ladder.

I think the assumption was we were all down the ladders before initiative started.

Grundar will drop his heavy steal shield and charge attacking it armor

sunder: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

ac is at 18 this round

dmg: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Misread the description. Shu does the same thing, but is at the bottom of the ladder.

Vitor brandishes his sword at the warlord, making deft slices through the air. "Heyaw!"

Dazzling Display, Intimidate: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

My bad! I was looking at the gear for the high tier. He has a masterwork chain shirt and a shortspear that is not on fire.

1d3 ⇒ 2

Ruprecht's acid bomb explodes harmlessly to the warlord's side. Mu and Shu prepare for battle and Yanos shouts out to find his voice magnified by the acoustics of the chamber, echoing out over the battlefield below. Grundar moves in and swings but only pops and image. Vitor's show of prowess seems to have shaken the warlord's spirit.

Brae-Hagen moves in towards Grundar, casts a spell, and stabs!

DC 17 Defensive: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

+1 shortspear: 1d20 + 9 - 1 + 20 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 - 1 + 20 - 2 = 30
damage: 1d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 = 8

Initiative:

1. Yanos, Grundar, Shu, Vitor, Ruprecht, and Mu
2. Warlord Brae-Hagen

1 image, demoralized

You guys are up!

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Vitor moves in and swing his blade at the man

Sansetsukon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 @1d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

"CHAAAGE!", Mu screeches into the fray and takes out a massive chuck of marble from the wall.

AC20

my bad but I didn't add in his large size last round

Grundar will go 10 feet back and swing at his armor again.

HP 29, AC 19

sunder : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

dmg: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 5, 2) + 6 = 15

If the sunder misses like I think I will use DM reroll if you will allow me

-Posted with Wayfinder

@Grundar: you can use your reroll. And the large size didn't matter for last round; although the attack would have landed, you just popped one of his images by chance.

1d2 ⇒ 1

Vitor swings at the man but finds that his nonmagical blade does no damage. Mu busily attacks the wall and Grundar swings....

Initiative:

1. Yanos, Grundar, Shu, Vitor, Ruprecht, and Mu
2. Warlord Brae-Hagen

1 image, demoralized

Yanos, Shu, and Ruprecht are up!

reroll sunder : 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

dmg: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 1, 4) + 6 = 17

-Posted with Wayfinder

Ru uses his Precise Bomb discovery to exclude four squares from acidic splash damage, those in which his friends stand.

Ragned Touch Attack 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Damage 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 1) + 4 = 9

Vitor's blade has oil of bless weapon on it, if that makes a difference.

Calling on the power of the black riders, Shu waits unseen until the fiend tries to cast again, then hurls a splintered spear across the room.

Ready action to disrupt spellcasting with a true strike splintered spear with Point Blank Shot. Since True Strike ignores concealment I believe he should still get his sneak attack damage by attacking from invisibility.
Splintered Spear: 1d20 + 6 + 20 - 8 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 20 - 8 = 34
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Sneak Attack Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

@Vitor: I remembered that but I had forgotten that bless weapon also means "The weapon is treated as having a +1 enhancement bonus for the purpose of bypassing the DR of evil creatures..." So it will bypass his DR/magic! Damage added in.

1d2 ⇒ 2

Grundar pops the final image of the warlord. Ruprecht's bomb hits Brae-Hagen but seems ineffective against the fiendish man. Shu readies his spear!

Initiative:

1. Yanos, Grundar, Shu, Vitor, Ruprecht, and Mu
2. Warlord Brae-Hagen

5 dmg, demoralized

Yanos is up!

Grundar will swing at the armor again

sunder : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

dmg: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 5, 5) + 6 = 17

-Posted with Wayfinder

I'll shift down, and Ready to attack if he begins to cast or act aggressive.

@Grundar: you were a bit early, we were still in the same round just waiting for Yanos. I'll hold that roll for a bit....

Yanos readies against aggression from the warlord!

Brae-Hagen steps away from Grundar and tries to cast a spell. Yanos and Shu quickly hit him as he is casting!

concentration check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 fail!

He stabs at Mu nonetheless!

+1 shortspear: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 2 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Grundar then tries to break the man's armor but is unsuccessful.

Initiative:

1. Yanos, Grundar, Shu, Vitor, Ruprecht, and Mu
2. Warlord Brae-Hagen

25 dmg, demoralized

Yanos, Shu, Vitor, Ruprecht, and Mu are up!

Targeting the square that Brae-Hagen is in, I'll call on divine aid for the Pathfinders. Blessing of Fervor

Ruprecht moves forward, pulling his magical spear as he attacks the magus.

Attack 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24

Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

With a cackle, Shu waves his wand, using it to cast another spell of true strike.

Splintered spear also causes 1 bleed to a struck creature.

Vitor should have been adjacent to the warlord after his last attack. I pretty sure I moved him, but he ws back in the corner. I've moved hin to his correct position.

Vitor swings his blessed dueling sword at the warlord!

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

But the blade whistles past harmlessly....

acro: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
tumble away 20'
use Magic Weapon oil

-Posted with Wayfinder

Yanos blesses his companions with speed! Ruprecht's spear digs into the fiendish warlord as Shu prepares for his next attack. Vitor swings with no success and Mu moves away none too gracefully as he tries to apply an oil.

AoO +1 shortspear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

---

DC 17 Defensive Casting: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Brae-Hagen tries to cast a spell but is distracted by the opponents in his face. Instead he just stabs at Vitor!

+1 shortspear power attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 7 - 1 = 10
damage: 1d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 = 13

Initiative:

1. Yanos, Grundar, Shu, Vitor, Ruprecht, and Mu
2. Warlord Brae-Hagen

29 dmg, demoralized

You guys are up!

I think the first stab at Mu misses with 21; Mu's at 22 with Mage Armor and ProtEvil
