GM Ladile & the Pathfinder Society Present: Race for the Runecarved Key (Tier 1-2) (Inactive)

Game Master Lady Ladile

Fuzzy will attack while Teann will hold his healing wand at the ready.
bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
bite damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

While Teann hangs back, ready to apply healing to whoever needs it, both Fuzzy and ThernBot advance on the flesh blobs. Fuzzy zeroes in on Purple and attempts to deliver a killing bite, but his teeth close only on air. Thern also closes the distance and tries to deliver a knockout punch against Yellow...

Thern vs. Yellow (Unarmed Strike; Bless): 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

...but also catches nothing but air. Yellow oozes forward a pace and as it does, Yorad attempts to strike with his dagger - but fares no better than Fuzzy and Thern did. Yellow claws mindlessly at Grayscales and Yorad...

Claw vs. Grayscales: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Claw vs. Yorad: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

...but Yellow's luck is trending as poorly as everyone else's, its claws catching nothing. As the group battles on, more and more Pathfinders can be seen and heard gathering in the streets as increasingly dangerous foes continue to pour from the various portals...

Round 2

Grayscales
Tathane
Lazarus
=======
Purple (-5)
=======
Thern
Teann + Fuzzy
Yorad (Readied Attack)
=======
Yellow (-11)

Active Conditions: Bless

Grayscales, Tathane, and Lazarus are UP!

Hoping to drop one of their foes, Lazarus switches targets, blasting the urine-hued bladder of flesh with his wand of magic missile.
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 (42 charges remaining)

(Controlled Rage +4 STR 9 of 9 rounds)

Shift for a flank and striking at the yellow hue creature again, Grayscales swings his falchion with all his might.

mwk falchion w/+2 str, +1 bless, +2 flank, -1 PA: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 1 = 29 to hit
damage w/+2 str, +2 PA, +1d6 sneak: 2d4 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 + 2 + 2 + (5) = 16 sneak flank

Critical Threat

to confirm critical: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 1 = 12 to hit
plus damage if confirmed: 2d4 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 13

Tathane moves out of the shadows and tries to race past the blob closest to him. On the other side he stabs at it with his dagger, while Thern is flanking.

Acrobatics to avoid Aoo: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

dagger@purple,flank,bless: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 1 = 12
damage,sneak: 1d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + (5) = 7

Switching targets Lazarus aims his wand at Yellow and pulls the trigger, blasting the creature back to whatever dimension or plane it belongs to! Grayscales shifts his fury to the lone Purple just as Tathane comes flipping out of the shadows and maneuvers around behind to flank with Thern - between the two Pathfinders' blades, Purple is also cut down in a flurry of sticky ichor and blood!

Combat Over!

Your foes defeated, you quickly ready yourselves for another onslaught as the battling all around reaches a fevered pitch. Yet, in the distance, you suddenly hear the fanfare of trumpets - they seem to be growing closer and closer with every second. Your hearts swell with relief and anticipation - could it be reinforcements at last?
_______

That's two waves down and we're close enough now to the end that I'm going to call it here rather than roll you into Wave 3 - the Overseer should be posting wrap-up about any time now!

***OVERSEER POST***

A fanfare of trumpets blasts loudly, breaking through the roar of the combat and ringing of clashing blades. Leading a mounted battalion of armored warriors, Sheila Heidmarch and her husband charge through the streets, driving through the waves of summoned fiends and forcing them to retreat back through their gates to the netherworlds from which they were called. In a matter of minutes, their assault is complete and the streets fall quiet.

Sheila Heidmarch strides over to Prisim – ”You have the REAL Runecarved Key” then holds it aloft signifying a Pathfinder victory!

“Today, every one of you has contributed to a triumphant victory for our Society, and you have cemented our place in Magnimar. “I’m deeply honored that you have granted me your services. While my lodge is small, you have made it feel like a kingdom. Yet our victory today is somewhat bittersweet. It seems dark forces have surfaced in Varisia—forces which, before today, I was unaware of. I’m sorry to have thrown you headlong into the middle of such chaos. I have already sent word to the Decemvirate of today’s events and await their response. When I know more, I shall contact you, for I fear this key has somehow placed all of us in danger. Still, we should go forth, for now is the time to celebrate!”

Thank you all so much for participating!

I would also like to express my gratitude to the fantastic set of GM’s and support crew I had working with me to make this a success, it really was a pleasure running this and that is certainly due to their fantastic efforts. Thanks also to the Online Venture Crew who always show enthusiasm and help pave the way for our events, and to Tonya for the Boons and Gift Certs.

And lastly – thanks to all the players out there (you!) who came in to this with a great attitude and really played in the spirit of it all, even when the Heidmarch family showed some total moral greyness!
