GM Endless Forms' PFS 07-10 The Consortium Compact (Inactive)

Game Master Mike Tuholski

Oswald tries to redy his crossbow as Sully calls a blessing on the proceedings, allowing Sumil to move in closer and hit the unarmored bear-trap-dude in the chest with a ray of fire which causes the man to topple over, unconscious!

Initiative:

1. Oswald, Quinn, Sumil, and Sully
2. Aspis agents
3. Alaneo

Quinn is up!

in the half hour after the Kortos agents depart, Quinn and Bacchus will occupy their prepared firing positions amongst the crates to the northern side of the warehouse.

Quinn sees the trapped man go down under Sumil's attack and focuses her arrow's vengeance on the bard behind.

Longbow ATK vs blue: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 18
Damage?: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5

Which is followed up by a raviging attack from her Hawk, Bacchus.

Bite vs blue: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 17
Damage?: 1d4 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 7

Quinn easily puts an arrow into the bard as Bacchus dive-bombs him, sending the man toppling back and his flute flying before ever it has the chance to sound!

The other two Aspis agents burst in from the south. The man in the breastplate (orange) casts a spell on the first.

Initiative:

1. Oswald, Quinn, Sumil, and Sully
2. Aspis agents
3. Alaneo

You guys are up!

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

As the two northern aspis agents fall Sumil turns to deal with the southern agents,he tries to read the magical energies coming from them but he is unsuccessful.

Moving closer to Oswald, Sumil casts his own spell, adding weight to his blade in the hopes of cutting down their foes sooner and prventing his companions from getting hurt.

20ft movement, cast lead blades on self.

Oswald, with his crossbow loaded quickly moves up to confront the intruders from the south, taking cover from the boxes Oswald spends a moment to aim before pulling the trigger and sending a bolt flying at the front Green intruder.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Crossbow confirm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

If AC 14- 9 damage, otherwise 4

Alaneo moves behind Oswald and throws icicles at the thug's face, which hit the man right in the eyes!

Kinetic Cold Blast (Ranged Touch), PBS: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 Threat
Kinetic Cold Blast (Ranged Touch), PBS: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 Confirmed :)

Cold: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Cold, additional damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Sully watches the action unfold and moves out from under the rooftop access, waiting for another forced entry.

On Delay

Oswald puts a bolt into the gut of the lead man holding the short sword and dagger as Sumil casts a spell and then rushes toward the action. Before Sumil can reach his target though, Alaneo sends a blast of cold that knocks the man over, leaving just the Aspis agent in the breastplate left standing.

Initiative:

1. Oswald, Quinn, Sumil, and Sully
2. Aspis agents
3. Alaneo

Quinn is up!

Quinn will swing from the northern stack of crates to the center stack by the way of the rope she pre-positioned during their preparations.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

And then fires upon the advancing Yellow enemy, but misses wide.

Longbow ATK vs Yellow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Damage?: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Bacchus flies up to his mistress's side.

Quinn misses and the man in the breastplate grabs his morningstar as he closes in on the party. "I could use some help, Asmodeus," he mumbles as a wave of dark energy radiates out from him over the whole party.

Looks like everyone is in the blast after he moves into position. DC 13 Will save for half.
negative energy: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Initiative:

1. Oswald, Quinn, Sumil, and Sully
2. Aspis agents
3. Alaneo

You guys are up!

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Off Delay

Sully feels pain. He usually doesn't feel pain that way.

"Even if market forces should array against the greater commerce of all, let us rejoice in the freedom to grow our capital in proactive faschions!"

Channel Energy(Positive): 1d6 ⇒ 2

Yes, bad guy will get helped by it. But I'm hopeful the party will make up for that.

Readied Action: Watching for other entries to shout alarm.

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Oswald cries out in pain as the negative energy washes through his body.

Oswald falters for a moment but is then inspired by the healing, steps to the south, reloads his crossbow and fires again.

No Precise Shot: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Sumil shakes off the wave of pain that hits him and moves forward toward his remaining foe but nearly stabs Alaneo with a poorly timed swing.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Quinn Will DC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Bacchus Will DC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Both Quinn and her Raptor are rocked by the wave of negative energy coming from their front, then soothed half as much by an opposite wave coming from behind.
Quinn whispers, "Hunt!" to her hawk then she lets fly another arrow at the breastplated man.

Longbow ATK vs Yellow: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 17
Damage?: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

And Bacchus gives a flanking bonus to Alaneo as he attacks the Aspis agents neck.

Lf Talon flanking vs Yellow: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 13
Damage?: 1d4 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 7

Will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Alaneo blinks at the wave of negative energy but manages to shake the most off.
He recovers his spirits, stepping back, and attacks once again with icicles.

Kinetic Cold Blast (Ranged Touch), PBS: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 - 4 = 7 for Cold: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Sully undoes some of the man's harm but Oswald, Sumil, and Alaneo have trouble hitting their target. Quinn, however, sticks an arrow in the man's leg. He curses but, finding himself surrounded, tries the same trick again.

channel negative: 1d6 ⇒ 6
DC 13 Will save for half; hits everyone.

Initiative:

1. Oswald, Quinn, Sumil, and Sully
2. Aspis agent (5 dmg)
3. Alaneo

You guys are up!

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 112d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

Sumil shakes off a portion of the damage and swings again, still unsteady on his feet.

Current HP 4, lead blades active 8 more rounds

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 3 damage

Seeing that trying to keep the party healed isn't working, he places a hand on himself with positive energies, grumbling under his breath.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

He then moves up to join the rest of the party.

Move Action: 20' behind Alaneo

Oswald, staggered by the blow retreats to behind the safety of the crates.

Quinn Will DC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Bacchus Will DC: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Both Quinn and her companion defend against most of the negative energy (both at -5hp) Furious, they both press their respective attacks with all they have.

Will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Alaneo fails this time to shield his mind from the negative and unleashes his power once again, hoping the man shall fall soon.
He then moves backward quickly in order to avoid the next wave of energy.

Kinetic Cold Blast (Ranged Touch), PBS: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 - 4 = 13 for Cold: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Just realized I accidentally edited out my failed will save vs the last negative channel, still in my dicebot queue though.

Several of the party are looking quite bloodied but luckily Bacchus comes in to save the day by scratching the man across the face, causing the man to collapse to the floor!

Out of combat!

With the defeat of the Aspis agents, the warehouse is safe, and Delroya is able to enact the final stages of her plan. Delroya bribed the town guards to stay away from the warehouse days ago, so the operation goes smoothly once you defeat the invading agents. Delroya and her contacts arrive to move the goods from the warehouse, and she sends some items to the Pathfinder Society in thanks for your assistance.

Back in Absalom, Ambrus Valsin personally thanks you for your successful mission, stating that you dealt a major blow to the Aspis Consortium’s operations on the Isle of Kortos, and prevented a great deal of suffering from spreading across the Inner Sea region.

Delroya attends the meeting with the venture-captain, and Valsin commends you for representing the best qualities of Pathfinders. Delroya herself remains quiet during the meeting, but her demeanor has softened a great deal since the ordeal in Diobel, and it is clear that she feels at home among the Pathfinders.

Congrats! That's it for The Consortium Compact! I will get the game reported and send out chronicles soon. Thanks to everyone for playing, you've been a great group. I hope you've had a good time!
