GM Harker's PFS Season 4 Campaign

Game Master Justin L. Warren

His aim a little off from firing around his companions, Halkale's arrow misses.

Everyone one else is up!

ac 25: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 111d10 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Valid tries to break the chair again but fails to hit it..again.

Moadis hammers the nearest chair.
Attk: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 - 2 = 11
Dmg: 1d12 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 6 = 15

T'kk'tck 5' steps back and summons another eagle.

Summon monster 1 class like ability. eagle

The eagle immediately attacks.

talon, flanking: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d4 ⇒ 3
talon, flanking: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 191d4 ⇒ 1
bite, flanking: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 61d4 ⇒ 2

Far more nimble than one might expect, the chairs dance out of the way of the attacks of Valik and Moadis. T'kk'tck's second eagle does hit with one claw, but comes nowhere close to penetrating its hardness.

I'll give Lyanif and Quiella a little longer.

Quiella draws her greatsword and slashes at the chair.

Lyanif moves around the chair staying out of its reach and climbs up over the corner of the table drawing her punching dagger.

Not sure if that will leave me with enough time to attack. If not, then ignore the following:

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 2 = 17
damage: 1d4 - 3 + 1d8 ⇒ (4) - 3 + (8) = 9

Lyanif, if your BaB is higher than 0, then you can draw a weapon as part of a move action. Since yours is not yet higher than 0, you'll have to use another move action to draw your dagger.

Quiella takes out a hunk of red chair with her greatsword, but the object's hardness reduces the total damage done to it.

Lyanif moves around the black chair to flank with Valik, and then begins to ready an attack by drawing her punching dagger.

The red chair makes a vain attempt to penetrate Valik's defenses and misses. The black chair, however, goes after Lyanif and slams her hard into unconsciousness. Lyanif takes 14 damage from the critical hit.

Initiative (Rounds 2-3)
Halkale [2 Dmg] <= Up
T'kk'tck <= Up
Valik <= Up
Lyanif [14 Dmg; Unconscious and Dying, Stabilization check necessary] <= Up
2 Chairs
Quiella [6 Dmg] <= Up
Moadis <= Up

Everyone is up.

Once again the paladin tries to slay the furniture.
Attk: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 8 - 2 = 20
Dmg: 1d12 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 6 = 17

Halkale switches targets to the black chair since the red chair moved behind shelves.

Attack, PBS: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 1 = 18 Damage, if hits, PBS: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

I really need to post faster...I meant to set up flanking eagles for you guys as well.

I'm going to assume Moadis' target is the black chair.

Both Moadis and Halkale successfully hit the black chair, knocking off more pieces of the object, but it remains a threat.

Quiella, T'kk'tck, and Valik. Lyanif needs to make a stabilization check.

Actually, Lyanif, if Quiella still has a life link on you, she'll just heal you into consciousness when she takes her turn, so hold off on the stabilization check. Assuming you're conscious then, you can then take your actions.

yes, she will heal 5 hit points when Quiella's turn starts. I'm out of posting time at the moment though. T'ck is the other link.

I'll give Quiella, T'kk, and Valik just a little longer before botting them.

Sorry, just got off work.

Value in nice again tries to smack one of the chairs.

ac 25: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 141d10 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

T'kk'tck scowls as his companion falls. Another eagle appears above the fallen kitsune.

Summon monster 1 class like ability. I think i have 2 left.eagle

The eagle immediately attacks the black chair.

talon, flanking: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 241d4 ⇒ 3
talon, flanking: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d4 ⇒ 2
bite, flanking: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 241d4 ⇒ 4

The first eagle also attacks the red chair.

talon, flanking: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 61d4 ⇒ 2
talon, flanking: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 111d4 ⇒ 4
bite, flanking: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 241d4 ⇒ 1

post pending

"Lyanif! Don't fall yet!" Quiella swings at the chair again, then touches her own cheek to heal herself of the wounds she took from the rogue.

If you have more than one potential target in your threat range, please let me know which one you're attacking. Thus far, I've been assuming the most damaged one.

Valik lands a solid hit on the black chair, but his blow lacks enough power to properly damage it.

T'kk'tck's eagles have a similar problem, as their claws and beaks strike the chairs, but do nothing to hurt them.

Quiella's oracle powers heal Lyanif back to consciousness at the expense of her own health, which it quickly made moot by laying a healing hand on herself. Then with a forceful attack, Quiella slices some cushions and wood off the red chair.

Lyanif can take a set of actions, although the window will probably be brief since we've been sitting on this round for a few days.

Won't be able to post until tonight. Feel free to bot if need be

Ack, I just realized I'm prone :(

Cursing herself for jumping so carelessly into melee, Lyanif tries to protect herself as much as possible.

Using total defense

Lyanif puts herself in a defensive posture to offset her prone state.

Apparently quite distracted by the summoned eagles, the chairs both attack them. The black chair slams its eagle target back to its plane of origin, while the red chair doesn't hit nearly hard enough to dismiss the bird attacking it. The eagle on red took 4 damage

Initiative (Rounds 3-4)
Halkale [2 Dmg] <= Up
T'kk'tck <= Up
Valik <= Up
Lyanif [9 Dmg] <= Up
2 Chairs
Quiella [2 Dmg] <= Up
Moadis <= Up

PC's go!

Another cold iron arrow is loosed from Halkale's bow at the black chair.

Attack, PBS: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 1 = 30 Damage, if hits, PBS: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9
Attack, PBS, confirm: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 1 = 16 Damage, if hits, PBS: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7 Damage, if hits, PBS: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

More of Quiella's life flows out to Lyanif, but he face doesn't show it as she focuses on slashing at the chair again.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Halkale, with cover penalties I'm afraid that does not confirm.

With almost perfect aim, Halkale's arrow shatters off more pieces of the black chair.

While healing Lyanif further through her life link, Quiella also participates in the slow destruction of the animated furniture as her greatsword smashes most of the back of the red chair.

Moadis, T'kk'tck, Valik, Lyanif.

Lyanif attempts to stand up.

Assuming she doesn't get knocked uncon again:

She attempts to stab the chair without leaving herself open.

Fighting defensively. Also, adding 1 because she's standing on the table, let me know if that's wrong.

attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 15
damage: 1d4 - 3 + 1d8 ⇒ (1) - 3 + (1) = -1

Yes, you do get a +1 bonus for higher ground when in melee.

Now severely damaged, the black chair's range of motion is much more restricted which causes it to miss Lyanif as she stands up.

Lyanif then retaliates with her punching dagger, hitting the chair but not overcoming its hardness.

Moadis, T'kk'tck, Valik

Stepping forward to Valik's side Moadis attacks the last chair.
Attk: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 8 - 2 = 22
Dmg: 1d12 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 6 = 15

It's not dead yet Moadis..

Please forgive my brevity, but the website keeps eating my posts so now I just want to finish up the update.

I'll assume Moadis will attack the black chair since it's the most damaged.

With a loud crack that reverberates through the room, Moadis does substantial damage to the black chair with his hammer, while Valik capitalizes on that to finally destroy it.

Valik attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Valik damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

T'kk'tck conserves his magic for now, while his eagle continues to be a good flanker, but lacks the physical strength to damage the red chair.

Eagle Talon 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Eagle Talon 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Eagle Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Talon 2 Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

The eagle finally achieves its true destiny as cannon fodder as the red chair hits it again and sends it back to its home.

Initiative (Rounds 4-5)
Halkale [2 Dmg] <= Up
T'kk'tck <= Up
Valik <= Up
Lyanif [4 Dmg] <= Up
1 Animated Chair
Quiella [7 Dmg] <= Up
Moadis <= Up

Everyone up.

won't be healing Lyanif any more this turn unless she somehow takes another point of damage this round. Life link doesn't trigger until you've lost at least 5hp.

delaying to see about a flanking partner

"Get around it so we can finish it off. Stupid chair."

-Posted with Wayfinder

Moadis movrs arpund the table to set a flank with Quiella.
Double move

Valik will attack the love chair.

ac 25: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 211d10 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Quiella nods and delivers an overhand chop at the chair.

-Posted with Wayfinder

The focused Valik turns his attention to the remaining chair and lands a solid, damaging hit.

Moadis moves around the room in the semi-circle to flank with Quiella. The smaller paladin then lashes out with her sword only to have it sidestepped by the animated chair.

Halkale, T'kk'tck, Lyanif

T'kk'tck starts the long process of summoning his eidolon.

10 rounds I think.

Halkale steps around T'kk and fires an arrow at the chair.

Attack, PBS: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 1 = 17 Damage, if hits, PBS: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

T'kk'tck begins the long process of summoning his eidolon, while Halkale steps around him and fires an arrow at the chair that just barely misses due to the cover provided by his companions.

Still slightly injured, Lyanif chooses to hang back for a few moments while she assesses her next move.

The chair then turns its attention to Quiella, as it quickly slams her into its seat, grapples her with its wooden arms and begins to painfully constrict her. Quiella takes 12 damage all together. She takes 4 from the slam, then was grabbed, and finally was constricted in the grapple for 8 damage. She is still grappled.

Initiative (Rounds 5-6)
Halkale [2 Dmg] <= Up
T'kk'tck <= Up
Valik <= Up
Lyanif [4 Dmg] <= Up
1 Animated Chair
Quiella [19 Dmg] <= Up
Moadis <= Up

Everyone go!

Halkale watches as the chair attacks and his response is quick and his arrows follow one after the other.

Attack, PBS, Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 = 15 Damage, if hits, PBS: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7
Attack, PBS, Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 = 16 Damage, if hits, PBS: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11

Halkale's second arrow manages to make it past the grappled Quiella and lodges itself in one of the object's legs.

Everyone other than Halkale is now up.

Valik moves up and tries to take out the chair.

AC 25: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 81d10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Knowing that she can't hope to damage the chair without a precise attack, Lyanif hangs back looking for a chance to flank.

Delaying a bit to see how things unfold

Valik's sansetsukon nearly slips out of his grasp as he attempts another attack, forcing him to forfeit his strike in lieu of keeping the weapon in his hands.

Lyanif delays her action as she waits the combat situation to shift to a more advantageous tactical configuration.

Quiella also waits, probably hoping someone will destroy the chair that is currently crushing her.

Moadis is up! T'kk'tck is summoning his eidolon, while Lyanif and Quiella are delaying for the moment.

yup, that's what she's hoping for :-p

-Posted with Wayfinder

Moadis power attacks the chair with his greatsword, finally destroying it and freeing Quiella.

Moadis attack: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 2 = 14
Damage: 2d6 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 + 6 = 17

Combat Over

In the wreckage of both animated chairs you find an exquisitely carved jade amulet each probably worth a few hundred gold pieces.

* * *

Perhaps wasting little time before looking around the room, you find a helpful map identifying the contents of the cabinets in the room. The room map can be found here and also in the campaign info.

You'll probably want to start searching the files now. To gather the information Valsin requested you'll need two find two pieces of evidence. The first is a prisoner receipt document revealing Zarta's current location. The second is the evidence used to indict Zarta in criminal activities. You may need to find the prisoner receipt first before you'll be able locate the proper file containing the evidence.

To do this, please refer to the map link above and let me know which cabinets each of you are searching and make a Perception roll. It'll take several minutes to search a cabinet, more if you roll poorly, less if you roll well.

I put my eidolon on the map.

T'kk'tck sighs as the combat ends and after a self-comforting pat of Shhh he starts searching the cabinet directly above him.

In tune with a mental suggestion the eidolon starts searching the cabinet directly to the east of it.

perception roll search T'kk'tck: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
perception roll search Shhh: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

His hands still trembling from the emotions of combat he searches less ably then he might.

Halkale moves to the far corner and starts searching the Internal Security Misc. cabinet for clues.

Perception, not sure if any bonuses apply: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

In order to keep track of time more easily, could everyone else let me know where you are searching or, if you aren't searching, whatever else you are doing.
