Game Master Magabeus

Emmet scores a hit on the green one while Tori kills the red drake with her first arrow. She changes her aim to the green one for her second shot, also hitting that one! Xasay conjures another eagle to distract the last drake. The shadowy eagle scores a good hit with one talon!

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (4, 1) + 7 = 12
Tail slap: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

The blue drake tries to bite the shadow eagle and misses completely. The tail slap that follows disperses the shadow. Scratcher waits to see if the drakes will come closer...

Keeping her glaive ready for the next attack as she passes Emmett, Grisaia grasps the rose symbol at her neck. "Eternal Rose, grant use reprieve from the wounds inflicted upon us." A wave of positive energy soothes the burns and rent flesh: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 2) = 10

The Scratcher moves up next to Grisaia and Emmett and readies to defend them from the next drake that comes up.

Readied attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Damage on hit: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Grisaia heals her fellow pathfinders while Scratcher tries to protect them.

Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (1, 4) + 7 = 12
Tail slap: 1d20 ⇒ 16
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The green drake decides to swoop down on the entangled Tori! The bite hurts, but the tail slap is just a tad too slow to hit the archer. The drake flies off after biting, regaining altitude in a few beats of it's wings.

Hardly does the dark bird fade from vision before it coalesces yet again!

Same as before....

bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Acid Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Angry at still being entangled in acid as well as being bitten, Tori directs her wrath towards the green drake and fires two more arrows at it.

+1 Comp. Longbow A - Entangled - RS: 1d20 + 12 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 12 - 4 - 2 = 13

+1 Comp. Longbow B - Entangled - RS: 1d20 + 12 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 12 - 4 - 2 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Emmett reloads and shoots again.

Ranged vs Touch Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
1d10 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Tori shoots the green drake out of the sky while Xasay distracts the blue drake for the third time. Finally the drake is aware that the eagle is just an illusion!

Emmett's bullet scores a solid hit! Tori scrapes the last stingy muckus from her arms and face.

Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (2, 3) + 7 = 12
Tail slap: 1d20 ⇒ 7
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The blue drake ignores the shadow eagle and dives down on its creator! Diving down from a heigth to attack the small, shadowy wayong is beyond it's skill, the drake quickly flies up again, probably hoping to get out of range of Tori and Emmett's deadly shooting.

My puppet is still 20% real, so it still gets to make an attack of opportunity for 1 damage on a hit.

attack of opportunity, bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Seeing that the drake has finally willed his puppet down to what can only be called a mere shadow of a shadow, Xasay resorts to his newly-enchanted bow.

+1 Adaptive Composite Shortbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
low lets me retrieve my arrow: 1d100 ⇒ 68

Unfortunately, its unveiling is marred when he gets the string tangled up with his stencils.

Seeing the drake staying well out of her reach, Grisaia offers a another prayer to her goddess. "Shelyn, grant us your blessings that we may end this fight before further blood is shed."

Emmett reloads, steps forward, takes aim, and shoots the blue drake.

Ranged vs Touch Attack, Bless: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 = 11
Damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Sighing with relief that she was no longer entangled nor taking acid burns, Tori fires two arrows at the remaining drake.

+1 Comp. Longbow A - DA - RS: 1d20 + 12 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 12 - 2 - 2 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 4 = 12

+1 Comp. Longbow B - DA - RS: 1d20 + 12 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 12 - 2 - 2 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 4 = 17

Tori shoots the last drake out of the sky!

Scratcher retrieves his chakram, shaking his head. "Damned buggas, ain't let me cut them bastages up!"

He then turns to Tori, placing his hand on her, healing some of her wounds.

Using 2 Fervors
Fervor: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Fervor: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Grisaia rests on the haft of her glaive, breathing a long sigh. "I hope we don't need to deal with such a problem again." Seeing Tori still wounded, she offers her holy symbol. "Let Shelyn restore us to health."

Channel: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 3) = 11

You are in the middle of the forest, what do you do?

"Thank you both." Tori says with gratitude to Scratcher and Grisala after they heal her various wounds.

She then looks around the area, "We should probably find out where the woodsmen ran off to and make sure they are okay. I'm also fine with looking around to see if these things had a nest, there's probably something interesting in it."

"I'll watch your back as you look."

You follow the signs left by the drakes back to the creatures’ nest and find two masterwork hand axes, a masterwork composite longbow (+4 Str), and a 100-pound carved wooden statue of a river drake.

"These are nice..." Emmett takes the hand axes, unless someone else has a need.

"Those others will sell nice, although this statue we might need to come back for."

"Wha? I can drag that thing back! Just lemme rope this thing up and we'll get it back!"

"Is it just me or is it a little weird for drakes to have carved statues of themselves in their nests? Has anyone checked it for magic?" Tori asks with suspicion as she takes a closer look at the statue.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Finding nothing of interest she shrugs, "I can help you lug it back, Scratcher."

"A fine point," Says Xasay as he takes a more in-depth look at the statue.

detect magic and Spellcraft, if applicable: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

The statue is not magical, it appears these creatures are vain...

You head back to the town. Coming out of the woods you enter a more rocky area. Coming down you see a river ahead, that can be forded by using a tree. In the water float some logs... Only Scratcher thinks something odd is going on with them. Before he can shout a warning a weird crocodile-human bursts out from hiding and attacks him! The bite scrapes of Scratchers armor when a second one emerges, attacking Tori and grabbing her tight!

Attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 - 1 = 11
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10

Attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 - 1 = 21

"Grah! Look out!", Scratcher says futily before the strange men attack. As Tori is bitten and grabbed, he moves to the side to strike behind her attacker and leave room for Emmett to shoot cleanly.

[dice=CE "claw" @ Green]1d20+9[/dice]
Damage on hit: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Scratcher's claw scrapes against the tough hide of the crocoman but does not pierce it. The crocman attacks Scratcher in turn, but misses.

Frustrated once again at getting hurt and impaired by an ambush, Tori draws her rapier and attacks the grappling crocodile man with it.

Rapier: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Critical Confirmation: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Additional Critical Damage if applicable: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

"Shelyn, guard us against these grasping claws." Grisaia prays, preparing to strike either opponent if they come in reach.

Tori, I also need a Fort save from you

Tori hits the crocodile where it should hurt, but weirdly enough her rapier only does minor damage to the crocodile. Grisaia calls on Shelyn's aid for protection.

Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Then he steps back 5' as he reloads.

Tori, I also need a Fort save from you

Emmett shoots and hits the bluer one, but his bolt only puts a dent in the tough skin of the creature!

CMB: 1d20 + 11 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 5 - 1 = 32
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

The crocodile that holds Tori tucks in its legs, tightens it jaws and rolls on the ground, pulling her down with it.

Xasay brandishes a stencil he's never used before, and from out of the ground pops a twisted, black-furred kangaroo!

Smiting Evil, if applicable, DC 16 Will save to reduce it to 20% reality. Add +1 to the following damage roll if it's Evil.

kick, flank vs blue: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
trip attempt on hit: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Xasay's kangaroo misses the crocodile man.

"What the heck?"

Knowledge, local: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

These are werecrocodiles, highly resistant to anything but silver. The carry the curse of lycanthropy and are great grapplers as Tori knows.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

With her rapier being mostly useless even with a critical hit, Tori turns her attention to breaking out of the grapple.

CMB: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Should have done this last turn.

"By Shelyn, be free!" Grisaia barks at Tori.

Liberating Command, Tori can make an Escape Artist check at +10 as a swift action.

Tori feels an opening in the werecrocodile's death embrace thanks to Grisala's divine magic.

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

I believe that since that spell is an immediate action, you can your regular actions this turn as well, Grisala.

Waiting for blue to act before I decide.

Bah, OOC, I know what to do... but good ol Int 7 Scratcher... :P

@GM: BTW, my tekko-kagi are cold iron in one hand and mithral in the other. I'll denote which is which for each attack, but presuming that our Scratcher would flurry once with each until directed otherwise. *wink Emmett*

Scratcher swipes with both of his 'claws', sending the reinforced metal into the animalistic foe!

CI tekko-flurry w/ CE @ green: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Damage on hit: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Mithral tekko-flurry w/ CE @ green: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Damage on hit: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Of course lol

I assume Emmett has told you what he knows

Scratcher lashes out twice with his silver claw and opens a large gash in the hide of the green werecroc. Tori uses the distraction to escape from it's jaws, using Shelyn's aid.

Scratcher, Kangaroo, Xasay: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 - 1 = 8
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 = 12

Tail slap: 1d20 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 - 1 = 3

Grisaia steps to Xasay's side, striking at the lycanthrope menacing Tori.

Glaive on Green: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Damage on Green: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Boy I hope he's still prone...

"If this takes me out, use the silver arrows in my quiver to kill it." Tori informs the others before placing herself in a defensive posture, and standing up from her prone position.

Total Defense action raises Tori's AC to 25 with Grisala's Deflection Aura until Tori's next turn. I forget if Dodge bonuses are added to CMD, if so, then her CMD is 27, otherwise it is 23. Standing up provokes an AoO.

The crocodile is not prone after a death roll

The green crocodile snaps at Tori as she steps up but is distracted by Grisaia's attack that slices near it's head!

"Maybe acid will work?" He grabs a vial of acid and prepares to throw it next turn.

The crocodile is not prone after a death roll

Rolls on the ground and gets back up without provoking? OP bullshit! :)

Frustrated that it's prey has almost gotten away the green crocodile snaps at Tori, but the lithe archer dances away.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 - 1 = 11

"Oy luv, distract this bugga so I can shank 'im propa!", Scratcher trying to use his mithril 'claw' to full effect after he calls upon Milani's grace to grant him some favor.
