GM Kyshkumen's PFS 1-51: The City of Strangers Part II (Inactive)

Game Master Kyshkumen

The investigator will move up to those doors and listen before looking them over of traps and locks
Perception: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 = 21
Perception +TF: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 27
Stealth: 1d20 ⇒ 12

No noise from behind the door, however there seems to be some random noises coming from the east.

Ferabras looks to the east "at dawn, on the third day..." to see what the noise might be. If there's nothing obvious, he opens the double doors in front of him.

Can't move token right now, but I'll be by the doors on the south side of the hallway.

Portcullis block way east ATM, right?

Bram waits until the door is open and follows Ferabras, watching his back.

Miyako moves to the new set of double doors across the hallway, together with Ferabras. She keeps her crossbow loaded, and readies a shot in case someone or something inside the room turns hostile.

Readied bolt: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Atilus too is ready with a bolt.

He whispers, "I'll try not to shoot you in the back ...", followed by a weak chuckle.

With Miyako and Atilus ready to fire Ferabras opens the door to find a small foyer with single doors leading east and west. While a set of double doors leads to the south.

Bram enters the room, then checks both the east and west doors, opening each after a brief inspection.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Opening the two side doors Bram only finds a small 10 foot room on either side. The rooms are piled full of garbage broken lumber and bits of masonry from around the prison.

Bram then heads to the southern doors and checks them over. If they look safe, he will lead the way inside...

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Bram finds no traps on the door, but before he can open them a voice on the other side calls out, "Who is it?"

Death

Bram opens the door after Tamisiel's reply. This room looks to be an office. A few salvaged bookshelves stand on either side of the room a long with a small desk and chair. Behind the desk stands a man with a drawn rapier with a chain shirt over his clothing. "Funny I didn't think Pharasma was an elf."

Miyako fires off a bolt, but only manages to hit the desk.

Miyako
Ferabas
Tamisiel
Mystery Man
Atilus
Bram

Bold is up.

Pharasma comes later, after we are done with you. Tamisiel says as she draws her sword.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 2 = 20

Ferabras grins at Tamisiel's response, then moves quickly into the room. As he rounds the desk he swings his sword at the man, but his streak of pathetic attacks shows no sign of letting up.

MWK Cold Iron Greatsword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Greatsword damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 6 = 9

Status: 18/20 hp

Miyako points a finger at the mystery man, and casts doom while speaking dramatically. "Feel death draw closer! Your end is near!"

Will DC 15 to resist.

Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

His shaken duration has been extended.

Ferabras has trouble striking around the desk and fails to strike his enemy. Tamisiel and Miyako work together to shake the man up. His response to all this is to reach under his desk for something. A few moments after the hallway behind the Pathfinders is filled with the sounds or rattling chains and clanking gears. Then voices can be heard once all the mechanical noises stop. "Door open!" Followed by another voice "Time to bite and slash and burn!"

Miyako
Ferabas
Tamisiel
Mystery Man
Atilus
Bram
?

Bold is up.

"Everyone get into tha' room!! Sounds like trouble!"

Bram hurries in and works his way around behind the man. He waits for Ferabras to get into a flank, then swings.

Sorry to leave you casters isolated, but it's best we focus fire, I think.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 = 11
Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Atilus following the command ... releasing Ray of Enfeeblement at the man as he goes

Strength Damage DC 16: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Ray of enfeeblement still requires a ranged touch attack.

Atilus Ranged touch: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Bram runs to the other side of the desk and also has dificulties hitting this strange man. Atilus attempts to hit him with a ray attack and only manages to hit the desk. Miyako see's them first as they come swarming out of their cells and down the hallway. Four goblins all armed with short swords crowd around poor Miyako ready to strike.

Miyako
Ferabas
Tamisiel
Mystery Man

Just trying to move this along sorry about the low roll. Bold is up.

No prob ... better than most of my rolls

Ferabras steps to flank the man, then raises his black blade and swings it hard. His teeth then snap shut on the air near the man.

5-foot step, then full attack.

MWK Cold Iron Greatsword, PA, Flank: 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 - 1 + 2 = 23
Greatsword damage, PA: 2d6 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 5) + 6 + 3 = 20

Bite attack, secondary, flank: 1d20 + 6 - 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 5 + 2 = 7
Bite damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Aiming for the red goblin, Miyako announces her attack: "Miyako kick!"

Touch of Flame: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 Fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

After kicking the goblin with a fiery foot, Miyako 5-foot steps into the small corridor to the room. "Tami, get in here!"

Pointing her sword at one of the goblins Tamisiel lowers a cold star at it. You have better flee little monster, there is nothing but death for you here.

Demoralize Blue
Intimidate: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 2 = 28

Ferabras lands a massive blow yet the man still remains standing. Miyako's flaming kick nearly takes out one of the goblins while the others shriek in delight. "Long shanks has fire foot!" Tamisiel's taunts seem to have the desired effect on one of the goblins.

The man takes a stab at Ferabras with his rapier.

Melee: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 8 - 2 = 10

He definitely has trouble as he is using his other hand to hold his guts in.

Miyako
Ferabas
Tamisiel
Mystery Man
Atilus
Bram
?

Bold is up.

Bram tries to end this fight to give his friends an edge.

Attack w flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Atilus starts casting Sleep.

Bram's attack misses by a few inches as the man side steps. Atilus begins casting a spell. The goblins swarm on Miyako swinging their short swords screaming, "More fire! More fire!"

Blue provokes an AoO.

Blue: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 - 2 = 12

Yellow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Green: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Red: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 2 - 4 = 6

Two of the goblin sword come close but Miyako remains unharmed.

Miyako
Ferabas
Tamisiel
Mystery Man
Atilus
Bram
Goblins (red -5)

Bold is up.

From Inside the office Tamisiel continues to chastises the goblins in their own language. Fools, all of you! When your ally here dies I will take pleasure in skinning you alive!
Intimidate Yellow: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 12 + 2 = 33

Ferabras swings his blade again at the injured man, then chomps his teeth, frustrated at the fact that his opponent is still standing.

MWK Cold Iron Greatsword, PA, flank: 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 - 1 + 2 = 10
Greatsword damage, PA: 2d6 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 2) + 6 + 3 = 17

Bite attack, secondary, flank: 1d20 + 6 - 5 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 5 + 2 = 14
Bite damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Miyako sees an opening in the blue goblin's defenses, and decides it's the perfect moment to try her newest move on the blue goblin. "Miyako double-slap!"

First, Miyako tries to slap the blue goblin with a fiery open hand.

AoO, Touch of Flame: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 Fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

After the first slap, Miyako uses the back of her open hand for a fiery backhand slap.

Touch of Flame: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 Fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

With her double-slap complete, Miyako takes another 5-foot step toward her allies. "I challenge those who've been branded by my fire to step up first!"

Tamisiel terrifies another goblin. Ferabras' frustration continues another round as the man avoids the tieflings attacks. Miyako's slap misses the goblin as he steps around her but the back hand lays him out in a single hit. The remaining goblins squeal with delight and laughter, "FIRE SLAP!!! HA HA HA!!!!"

Then man behind the desk tries to stab Ferabras again.

Melee: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 2 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Frabras feels the point of the rapier find a gap in his armor and pierce his flesh. "I shall not be defeated so easily!" he says.

Miyako
Ferabas
Tamisiel
Mystery Man
Atilus
Bram
Goblins (red -5)

Bold are up.

Atilus releases sleep behind the goblins to include the three goblins without taking Miyako.

Sleep DC 15

He then turns and lobs acid at the man.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 ⇒ 1
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

And it gets in Miyako's hair again ... Atilus starts to say something, but sees that she did not notice, so he stays quiet.

Bram takes another cut at the man!

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 2 = 26
Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

-Posted with Wayfinder

Will: 1d20 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (17) - 1 - 2 = 14
will: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
will: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

All three goblins collapse into a deep slumber and Bram finishes off the mystery man with a solid swing of his axe.

Calling an end to combat.

"Yay! I'm participating!", yells Atilus, almost waking the goblins before they can be dispatched.

Bram grins and claps Atilus on the back.

"I'll say he are! Takin' down three gobbos at once! Now, let's see if this feller kept any notes on his Shadow Lodge. And if we have any spare rope, we can tie him up. I don't mind tryin' to see if he'll come back into the fold."

Bram will poke around the desk.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Let me look Dwarf. Tamisiel says impatiently as she tries to push the barbarian out of the way.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 = 21

Bram starts searching the desk but all the letters and notes he find are written in gibberish. Looks like the Shadow Lodge uses a code for their communications. Tamisiel then steps and and manages to find three letters that have not been encoded yet (see map). If they try and save the man he refuses to talk despite Tamisiel's best efforts. On the way out the Pathfinders check the remaining room which has been cleaned and holds several empty weapon racks. There is nothing else of note in this make shift armory.

That brings us to the end. Thank you all for playing and I will get chronicles out soon.

On the way out, Miyako notices something's stuck in her hair. "Agh! who put acid in my hair?!"

Miyako quickly uses create water to wash out the acid, before it permanently damages her hair.

Thanks for running this game, GM! I thoroughly enjoyed it! :)

Bram claps Ferebras on the back.

"Eh, wotcha say every blow we took smote the enemy? Where's the harm in a little secret?"

Many thanks from me too GM! These were really fun games!

"But I am a defender of Truth, Bram," Ferabras replies earnestly. He holds up his black iron blade and scrutinizes it. "Perhaps it is time for a new sword, friend."

Thanks for running, Kysh! Nice playing with everyone!

Are we done here?

Thanks for running! Has a good time with everyone. Hopefully Tamisiel wasn't too annoying. I'm going to have to rebuild her a little so she isn't such a "one trick pony"
