GM PDK's PFS RPG Crypt of the Everflame (Inactive)

Game Master Purple Dragon Knight

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

As Konnor cries out, Alezandaru draws his rapier and attempts to hide, understanding that if these are wolves it will be scent that they track. He attempts to be downwind of cooking smells from the campfire to mask his scent.

stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

"Illusion, most likely. Comes with the territory, nonetheless. Ah, well, all in good fun, keeps us on our toes!"

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

"Wolf? Where wolf?"

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Aroden jumps to his feet but is just a bit too slow.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Bram hears some noise, but is still rousing himself to action when Konner sounds the alarm.

perc dc 18: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Spark leaps to her feet, weapon in hand.

Surprise Round: (you're currently sitting around the fire, unarmed)
Spark: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20
Konner: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Wolf: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

--> Konner, Spark: you're up

Konner springs up and grabs his weapon. We should welcome our guest properly! He ssys as he takes a step towards the wolf get up and draw weapon as a move, 5ft step towards wolf...cant see map....its all black

Spark grabs her weapon and leaps to her feet... taking a stand beside Konner... (move to draw weapon, 5'step)

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

"Zzz... Wha... huh..."

The wolf flees. (unless you pursue into the night, encounter is over)

Looking up from his bedroll, Findlefarb yawns, "Lone wolves are such sad little creatures..." and goes back to sleep.

Please figure out the watch schedule in the Discussion thread; assume an 8pm to 8am 12-hour night. Keep in mind that you need 8 hours of rest (some casters need this to be an uninterrupted by a watch duty... martial classes usually can sleep 4 hours, be up in the night for 4 hours, then sleep again for 4 hours... that's part of their boot camp training... ;) )

When ready, one of you please post the watch duty schedule here on the Gameplay thread. Thank you!

First Watch: 8pm-Midnight
Alezandaru, Antonidas, Spark

Middle Watch: Midnight-4am
Bram, Konner

Morning Watch: 4am-8am
Aroden, Findlefarb

It is almost pitch black as the sky is overcast tonight. The approximate extent of Spark's darkvision is shown on the map.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

perc dc 13: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Spark is blissfully unaware of anything amiss..

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

All clear...

perc: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

BOTTING ANTONIDAS, ARODEN, AND BRAM:

Perception ANTONIDAS vs. DC 13: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Perception BRAM vs. DC 23: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Perception ARODEN vs. DC 23: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Antonidas goes in surprise round.

INITIATIVE - SURPRISE ROUND:
Brother Antonidas: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Wolves: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

The wolves move to surround the three watchmen. Those with low-light vision consider this night as dim light with 20% miss chance; those without low-light have 50% miss chance but do not need to make checks to pinpoint squares (i.e. you know the wolf is that square, but you still roll 50%... pinpointing squares slows the game down to a halt and it makes no sense to do that when you have a snarling wolf biting your leg next to you...)

Red Wolf bite vs. Alezandaru: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 damage AND Trip Attempt CMB: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 [MISS!]

Blue Wolf bite vs. Spark: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 damage AND Trip Attempt CMB: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 [MISS!]

Green Wolf bite vs. Antonidas: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 damage AND Trip Attempt CMB: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 [HIT and TRIPPED!]20% miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 89

--> SOUNDS OF BATTLE!! <--

Brother Antonidas: 14
Findlefarb: 11
Bram: 6

know nature untrained dc 10: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Spark ponders what these wolves might be.. normal wolves or something else... they do seem rather canny and sneaky... sending a scout ahead and then waiting til the camp was asleep.

@Spark: amazingly regular wolves do that. The DC 10 was to figure out they are scrawny and starving...

On my turn I will take a 5 foot step towards Spark, draw rapier and attack the closest wolf to me, fighting defensively.

I know that but Spark doesn't... she thinks they are very smart for canines

On his turn, the wizard will take hold of the Sword of Aroden, stand, step out of the tent, and cast Light on the sword.

BOTTING ANTONIDAS

Wolves: 21
Konner: 16
Spark: 16
Alezandaru: 15
Aroden: 15
Brother Antonidas: 14
Findlefarb: 11

Aroden steps out of his tent and light bursts forth from his sword, bathing the battlefield with light!

LIGHT CONDITION: entire battlefield in dim light now, only 20% miss chance for everyone except those with low-light vision (which have no miss chance) -- if you're within 20 feet of Aroden you have NO miss chance as you're in BRIGHT LIGHT.

"Awake! Awake! Wolves beset us!" Greenblade calls out to those still sleeping.

Greenblade takes a 5-foot step towards Spark, draws his sword, and attacks Red Wolf defensively (AC + 3 due to acrobatics?)

melee rapier, defensive fighting: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 1 - 4 = 41d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Konner dashes to the closezt wolf (red) and tries to take advantage kf the oppotunity presented by Alexandaru distracting it.

attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 = 131d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5Die, cur!

miss chance, high hits: 1d100 ⇒ 8stuvk on phone...please move me....ty!

Bram hears the commotion and awakes. He grabs his axe, stands, and rushes out of the tent towards the nearest wolf.

ROUND 1: (bold may go)
Wolves
Konner
Spark
Alezandaru
Aroden
Brother Antonidas
Findlefarb
Bram

LIGHT CONDITION: entire battlefield in dim light now, only 20% miss chance for everyone except those with low-light vision (which have no miss chance) -- if you're within 20 feet of Aroden you have NO miss chance as you're in normal light.

Findlefarb stirs, "Oh, by the light of Aroden, what's waking me at this hour? Oh. The light of Aroden."

Seeing the battle with the wolves, the gnome sleepily calls from his bedroll, "Oh, good! The food's arrived. Do make it quick, I have no intention of tarrying for breakfast. Oh, I'll go tend to the Everflame while you get the bacon prepared."

Stand up and inspire courage.

Spark moves to and attacks the closest wolf

to hit: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 - 2 = 18
dmg if hits: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

i assume no miss chance for darkvision too?

miss chance just in case, low misses: 1d100 ⇒ 18

let's hope no miss chance anyway! sheesh

Brother Antonidas desperately swings at the beast menacing him!

Longsword: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8
Miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 43

Flanking, inspire courage, prone

Spark and Antonidas manage to each cut their attacking wolf deep, strangely inspired by the humor coming from the opening of the gnome's tent! The wolves appear uncertain at the sight of the reinforcements, and appear totally weirded out at the sight of the glowing sword and joke-telling gnome.

Green Wolf vs. Antonidas: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 2 + 4 = 21[HIT!] for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 damage.

"Oh my, they're a bit feisty, aren't they?" Findlefarb observes maintaining Inspire Courage.

He pulls out his bow and arrows and fires at a wolf (the green one).

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 10
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Foresight ability: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Aroden moves to the aid of Brother Antonidas!
Longsword, Inspire: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5
But the Fates are against him and he does not hit the wolf. (My attack 2 minutes ago in another PbP was also a Nat 1...)
However, he is providing light.
AC 12 at the moment - no Mage Armor.

Konners grimaces after his last swing missed. He curses under his breath and arcs his blade towards the wolf's hindquarters.

attack, high hits: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 221d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 101d100 ⇒ 39

Spark swings her scimitar again, trying to lay her wolf low.

to hit: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 1 - 2 = 18
dmg if hits: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8

Greenblade takes a swing at the Red Wolf that he is flanking.

melee, rapier, flanking, inspired courage vs Red Wolf: 1d20 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 211d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7

"Deadeye save me, it can't end like this!"

Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6

Bram roars and swings his axe at the wolf between him and Antonidas.

Power Attack, flanking, Inspire: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 15
Damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

All 3 wolves fall unconscious with a canine whimper (either dead or dying).

What do you do?

"Roast wolf? Alezandaru says with a smile. He wipes his blade and sheathes it. He looks to the sky to see if he can tell when the sun may be up again and yawns, adrenaline receding.

The sky is dark. It is approximately half an hour after midnight. The rest of the night passes uneventfully, however.

The next day, the heroes can continue their journey through the Fangwood. Early in the day, the trees begin to thin, revealing a field of short, green grass that leads to the shores of a wide, calm lake reflecting the overcast sky above. A dense fog hangs over the center of the lake, obscuring the far side. Near the shore of the lake, a dark form lies next to the water. On the east side of the lake you can all spot the remnants of an old campsite.

According to your trail map this must be the shores of Gray Lake, and looks like a suitable place where the heroes can refill their waterskins and stop for a quick meal.

What do you do?

Findlefarb reaches carefully into his pack, and pulls out his chicken. He lets the bird scratch and drink and fill its belly on the grubs it finds.

"Brother Antonidas, are you injured? Have you the training to use a wand such as this?"
Aroden offers the ranger the use of his Wand of Cure Light Wounds.
Then from where he is he looks at the area around the dark form on the shore of the lake.
"That man might be beyond such healing."
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Konner readies his blade in case of an attack. He carefully approaches the form. Ho, there. State your name and do not raise a weapon....it will be your last move if you do...

Spark walks over to the recumbent form and looks down at it.. if it isn't on it's back, so she can see it's face, she will roll it over (but not toward the water if it's that close). "Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey.... " She'll poke to see if there is a reaction...

Antonidas awkwardly picks himself up off the dirt, roughly dusting himself off. Wolves! Almost brought to my end by wolves! Some ranger you've turned out to be

He starts at Aroden's offer, hesitantly taking the wand (somewhat embarrassed by his performance) "Tha... Thank you. That is very kind." He takes a moment to kneel and pray for Erastil's divine aid.

Wand of cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Wand of cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Antonidas returns the wand and readies his bow. I'll be damned if I'm caught unawares again!

The form is actually a decayed body with huge bite marks all over its upper torso. Much of the gear has rotted to worthlessness, but Spark uncovers a masterwork short sword near the body and a coin pouch with 87 gp inside. The coins look newly minted from the capital city of Tamran; they bear the likeness of Forest Marshal Gavirk, nominal leader of Nirmathas.

Knowledge (local) and Heal and Survival check please.

Heal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 + 2 if against humans
