GM Nowruz's #6–10 'The Wounded Wisp' (Tier 1-2) - 20180523 (Inactive)

Game Master noral

Fuzzy and Erashava start searching the desk and you all are looking around.

The paperwork on the desk is a priceless collection of Pathfinder Society lore and information describing dozens of unexplored sites. Most are written in an Azlanti dialect further encrypted using an old cipher employed by the Society centuries ago.

Although it is clear to you that this collection is very important, you have a hard time understanding the documents as they are mostly encrypted.

Looking at the papers Adowyn just shrugs and baas.
"Can´t read that. Let us take everything, and especially that nice gem and return to the lodge to trade it in for some favor!"
Appraise: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Linguistics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

"This will take several weeks to decipher at the Grand Lodge," Erashava replies. "I agree. Let us return hand it in for further study."

Looking up from her work with the papers she sees the gem.

Appraise: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

And shrugs her shoulders. She seems unconcerned with the gem.

Appraise: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Fuzzzy smiles. "What a lovely alexandrite stone! It's quite valuable."

"Great idea!" he exclaims. "Onward!"

Fuzzzy turns and starts to leave, sending his dancing lights ahead to light the way.

Rosie rolls her eyes at the stuck up elf. Then she tells Ruslo. "He speaks common just fine."

While the others look at the papers, Rosie hides in a corner and keeps watch down the tunnels.

Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Ruslo smiles and winks at Rosie. He heads in to the chamber. Ruslo inspects the room for any further secrets.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

[spoiler=Elven] Why would one denigrate their heritage by speaking a language that is not their own? The language of the elves has far more nuance than other languages, especially Gnomish [/spoiler= he says returning the eye roll with a sardonic smile.

Can you please put your icon on the map where you should be based on the interactions above! Thanks

Again, you are discussing and standing in a silent room that looks like it was not touched for ages.

Suddenly, Erashava hears footsteps that are approaching fast.

Erashava you have a surprise round with a standard OR move action. You do not see anything but heard something. Everybody please position your icons according to the RP development above.

"Incoming!" Erashava calls out to her companions. She prepares herself to cast a spell.

Erashava readies an action to cast burning disarm if anyone raises a weapon at her (on that weapon). If they want they can attempt a DC 14 Reflex save to drop the weapon. Otherwise they take Fire Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Ken and Adowyn - please place your icons based on the RP above where you should be (with whom did you talk last or with what did you interact last). Thanks

Why would one denigrate their heritage by speaking a language that is not their own? The language of the elves has far more nuance than other languages, especially Gnomish, he says returning the eye roll with a sardonic smile.

Rosie scowls at Ken and waves her little fists. "Hey! Watch the insults, pal! Gnomish is WAY better than Elvish! Bring it on, big guy! I'm not afraid of you just cause you're tall!"

Rosie punches her little fists at the air. It does not look very scary...

---

Hearing Erashava shout, Rosie smiles. "Time for a battle!" she squeaks. Then she suddenly makes a very scared face. "Oh, no, a battle.... I hope I don't get hurt."

have the baddies attacked yet?

"Incoming? Incoming what?" Fuzzzy aks curiously. "Is it a flood? A flock of birds? Perhaps a school of fish? I love fish. Or... At least I think I love fish..."

"Hey, who's there?"
Ruslo has his hook in hand anticipating trouble.

I am waiting for Adowyn to place the two icons including Leryn.

I have put Adowyn south of the others because I thought we would leave now. If I am still in the room I will adjust.

Hi Helikon, I can see Leryn on the map but not Adowyn. Please place yourself wherever you feel comfortable. I have no issues with any position you put your icon on but that will be the starting position for the fight.

Ouch I made a mistake! Done!

The wolf is ready for action...

SURPRISE ROUND

When Erashava hears a scream she is momentarily startled and sees a human with rage in his eyes and a large greatclub in his hands running in her direction and clearly aiming to harm her ... but he does not reach her, yet.

Behind the human you see a half-elven male wearing leather clothing and holding a dagger in his hand. Lastly, Erashava see a female human in fancy robes with a morningstar hin her hand.

One move action for each opponent.

ROUND 1

The raging man runs towards Erashava with a raised greatclub and tries to hit her but she is able to dodge the club which hits the wall.

Human with Greatclub, str +4, bab +1, rage +2, weapon focus +1, power attack -1: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 1 = 10
Human with Greatclub, str +4, rage +2, power attack +2, two-handed +3+1: 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Adowyn waits till the half elven caster tries to cast a spell and will try to interrupt his casting. She will also pimp her Dex.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 221d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Leryn will charge the barbarian.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 191d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Trip: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 I think the barian drops down.

After Leryn's teetch severely wound the barbarian and Leryn is trying to trip the barbarian, everyone seeing the scene can notice a shimmering, magical field around the human that averts and deflects attacks.

Eventually, Leryn is not successful in tripping the barbarian.

Barbarian CMD is 19 currently due to a buff deflection spell. You did not move Leryn's icon so I moved him. You have no clear line of sight with Adowyn on the caster currently due to the cavern. Please move your icon and then choose if you still want to ready your action.

Round 1

Erashava readies an action to cast burning disarm if anyone raises a weapon at her (on that weapon). If they want they can attempt a DC 14 Reflex save to drop the weapon. Otherwise they take Fire Damage 3

Her burning disarm spell should have activated on the first to try to approach with a raised weapon (which is the barbarian who swung at her). 3 fire damage, or they can attempt a DC 14 Reflex save to drop the weapon and take no damage.

Sorry, registered that and then forgot to record the damage.

The human barbarian endures Erashava's spell and although blisters are visible allover his hands he is not letting go of his weapon.

Round 1
1. Human greatclub
2. Leryn, Adowyn, Ken -> GO
3. Male half-elven caster with dagger

Adowyn is delaying to attack the robed elf.

He moves out and readies to attack his kinsman in the robes

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
1d8 ⇒ 4

readied attack

Rosie's little jaw drops as Ken says something mean to her new friend. She hurries forward, sticks her tongue out at Ken and scoops up a rock. Then she tosses the rock at the man with the big club. I have throw anything.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 3 - 4 = 7
Bludegoning Damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

But she misses!

Rosie says sorry that she went too soon! She started replying to Ken and then forgot that it wasn't her turn.

1d20+6

1d8

readied attack

Ken, please refrain from using such language in my games even if your character would act this way. Also Ken, please post all actions in ONE post including dice rolls.

Adowyn waits till the half elven caster tries to cast a spell and will try to interrupt his casting. She will also pimp her Dex.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 221d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Adowyn is delaying to attack the robed elf.

Adowyn, you delayed but I assume you want to shoot as soon as you have the opportunity. I take your attack roll above.

Adowyn sees his half-elven target and uses the chance to shoot his arrow and although so many people are standing in front of him, his arrow hits the half-elf right in the chest and he almost drops from this attack.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

1d8 ⇒ 4

readied attack

Ken, you cannot see the target from where you are standing and he is moving out to another position where he cannot be seen either so I cannot complete your readied attack.

The half-elf is clearly afraid now and moves to a position of safety so except of Leryn nobody can see him anymore.

Then he starts to concentrate and a flying magical missile hits Leryn's left flank.

force missile - 1/5 used: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

* * *

Then Rosie hurries forward and tosses a rock at the man with the big club but she does not hit him.

Hearing sounds of battle, Filuvius sloshes its way into the tunnel. Seeing a man with a big stick attacking its friend, Filuvius' dopey smile spins around until it is a deep frown. It scurries down the tunnel on its jellyfish tentacles as fast as it can, passing by Erashava in an effort to get behind the enemy.

Double move.

Erashava says something to her water monster as it passes by...

Then she draws her scimitar and spins, drawing her blade's sharp edge against her attacker!

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

She takes a cautious five-foot step back.

Erashavas scimitar cuts into the brute's abdomen and his cries out in rage when he sees her retreating.

Ruslo hurries to his companions and joins the fight. Ruslo swings his hook at the man in front of the wolf.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 15 foot reach
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

"Leave now before you can't!"

Ruslo’s attacks hits a cavern wall and it is clear that the man will not comply.

The woman with the morningstar retreats a bit and concentrates. Suddenly, you see the wounds of the human barbarian closing. Leryn sees that the half-elf’s wounds vanished, too.

Channel, selective : 1d6 ⇒ 6

Fuzzy -> GO!

"Oh, my! What's that sound?"

Fuzzzy leaves the secret office and goes out to check.

"Hmmm... It's a little crowded. I can't see a thing!"

Fuzzzy keeps moving.

Double move.

The raging man tries to hit Leryn with his greatclub but the animal companion dodges.

Human with Greatclub, str +4, bab +1, rage +2, weapon focus +1, power attack -1: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 1 = 12

Lerylin the bites the human.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 231d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Trip: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 Alas again no trip
If Lerylin does not manage to drop the Barb she will shoot the barbarian.
Substract 4 please to hit, cause of lacking precise shot
If the barbarian drops she will shoot the morningstar goon.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 91d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 131d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Leryn’s attack is so vicious that the barbarian drops but Adowyn’s arrows do not hit the life oracle.

”Ken go!“

Oh, I get to go? It won't offend anyone if I do?
The archer moves up.

The half-elf is even more afraid now.

Then he starts to concentrate again and a flying magical missile hits Leryn's chest.

force missile - 2/5 used: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Round 1
1. Human greatclub
2. Leryn, Adowyn, Ken

#Leryn: 6/13 HP
#Erashava :
#Filuvius:
#Fuzzy:
#Ken:

Oh, I get to go? It won't offend anyone if I do?

The archer moves up.

Understanding that such behaviour is inadequate would be a good start Ken. Sarcasm on the other hand is not a good reaction in my opinion.

Filuvius sloshes its way down the hall and whips its many tentacles at the green enemy.

Attack (tentacle mass): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Erashava steps over the barbarian and circles around to flank the green enemy with Filuvius. She slashes at him with her scimitar...

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

...totally missing!

Red is the barbarian who is unconscious, right?

Rosie walks past the red guy and circles around the fight. She steps behind the green guy.

Double move!

"You're real scary to a little girl like me...." she lies in a scared voice.

Bluff: 1d20 ⇒ 16
