GM Pathmaker's "Service to Lore" (Inactive)

Game Master Pathmaker

Ito urges Goliath up to the warehouse. He examines the door to see if there is a lock or similar.

Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15

Patrox moves up beside Ito, and light appears on his hand.

perc: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

The locals glance at the Ito and Goliath, but show no real interest as the pair approach the warehouse and rattles the handle on the door, discovering that it is locked with a large metal tumbler. Ito notices that a narrow ledge seems to surround the structure to the south, providing access to loading doors normally used by docked ships.

DC15 Disable

Taarik follows Ito and looks at the surroundings.

"Well, I surely cannot open a lock! And I lack the strength to break the door. So would somebody please do not us the honour and open this locked door??"

Endor attempts to break the lock, though he struggles to get leverage.

strength: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
strength: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

"It may be easier to take the boat around see if there is an easier way in.'

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Dante returns and relates what he saw. "There was a hole in the floor. The boat could be used as a means of getting in."

Lock breaking requires damaging the lock's HP. Endor rolled STR, so I'll reinterpret the action.

After a soft push doesn't budge the door, Endor gives a running start and throws his shoulders into the dry rotted wood, sending the door off it's hinges.

PCs up! Move your icons

Patros lights up the warehouse. Inside, the group finds many barrels, boxes, and crates stacked along the walls. Just inside the door sits a handful of crates and kegs of beer. By the smell of them, most of these smaller crates and barrels seem to contain foodstuffs in various states of freshness. Some crates reek of rot. Stacks of simple coffins sit against the east wall. The rest of the crates stacked along the north and south walls contain simple sundries including, but not limited to beer, blocks of clay, coffee, coils of rope, dried fish, nails, nets, raw cotton, rough wool, spare sails, timber planks, various pulleys and tools, and cheap weapons. A crane, used for loading and unloading boats, clings to a rail running the length of the warehouse, hanging 5 feet below the high ceiling.

Perched in the middle of the hole in the far side of the structure, teetering on split planks, sits a large crate stamped with three crows arranged in a triangle—the very crate you have come to find.

"Wow Endor! You do not look so strong! Wood must have been weaker than I tought." Taarik says and then he follows Endor inside.

Ito rides Goliath right into the warehouse. I an see better from up here

The box is over there

Endor casts detect magic and cautiously looks around the room.

There are no magical auras in the warehouse

Taarik walks in further.

”This is really creeping me out! I can already feel the danger and know that we are going to be attacked! How does an agent live with these dangers every day?“ Taarik asks more himself than anybody else.

"Someone open the crate I will stand guard. Once we have the paper we get out of here. Oh and look for traps."

Longspear ready reflexes read for combat.

The warehouse is quiet, long moments go by, nobody moves, nothing comes out to attack the recruits.

Ito nudges Goliath with his feet and the pony plods forward. They pair move up to the box and Ito reaches out to the box.

I have to assume that Ito is touching the box where his icon is located (which is not Guaril's box on the other end).

On top of Goliath, Ito touches the top of the mundane crate, it is nailed shut and rotting smell surrounds it.

"Careful! That crate might fall into the water below, it looks very unstable. Dante, can you move that little boat?"

"Anything for you, my dear."

The captain goes and gets into the boat, steering it under the hole in the floor to try to catch the crate if it should fall through.

Profession Sailor: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Ito leave that crate. This is not the crate we are looking for.

So it is the one in the hole I can see in the lower right of the map? I have had some fairly strong painkillers so I am a little spaced out. If I am missing something that has been previously said please let me know.

Ito looks around for the ropes and pullys for the crane.

Beginning this round, it will take Dante 3 + 1d3 ⇒ 3 + (1) = 4 rounds to maneuver the boat into position.

Maru sends her phantom off to fetch a boat to catch the unsteady crate. Ito can see the crane rail running the length of the warehouse but no ropes nor pulleys attached.

Yes, the target crate is the one south, near the double doors.

Do we see any rope? Does anyone have any rope?

Patros grabs the rope from his pack and hands it to Endor

Are there rafters?

<yes, there is a ladder that goes up to the rafters. From there you must balance across the rail DC 15 to reach the crane>

Ito reaches down into the saddlebags on Goliath and pulls out 50 feet of hemp rope. He waves it at Endor, ties a knot in one end of it and throws the knotted end up toward the rail, aiming to get it over the rail.

Throw Rope: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (11) + 0 = 11

Treating it as a thrown weapon? Rolling as such. Let me know if a different roll is needed

Endor does the same with Patros's rope.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

"If someone lighter and more graceful than myself could secure the rope that would be very helpful."

Ito and Endor position themselves across the teetering crate, they successfully toss ropes over the rail.

Eyes have been watching you from the dark corners. Big rats, the size of small dogs crawl out from between the crates and charges at you. 

Initiative:
GM 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Endor 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Endor up!

Ito take the rope I will cover us. Someone come secure the ropes. Now!

Move to draw the long spear divine favor.

Endor has combat Ref.

Captain Dante is still working the boat over to the position under the warehouse he was working on. I think that was about two rounds worth of actions before the rats came out?

Captain Dante is still working the boat over to the position under the warehouse he was working on. I think that was about two rounds worth of actions before the rats came out?

<Yes, Dante just ended his Round 2 at icon position on boat>

Three rats come at Endor and Ito.

<Endor take 2 AOO>

Did one of the rats 5ft step? Endor has 3 total aoos.

Endor starts thrusting downward at the mice as the approach trying to pierce them.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Extra if there is a third attack or if a third comes up later.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Order of priority yellow, orange, light blue

"Wow Endor! You do not look so strong! Wood must have been weaker than I tought." Taarik says and then he follows Endor inside.

Apparently, Endor is a roided up aasimar with 18 Strength.

Endor skewers three of the rats before they lay a paw on him or Ito.

Ito up! then everyone

Ito sits on top of Goliath and holds the two ropes. He fumbles around trying to work out how to hold his shield, sword and the ropes, gives up and simply cheers the group on. Go team. WOOOOO. Get those rats. He bounces a little in the saddle as he does so. Goliath does not look amused.

No action Ito? Delay?

Maru, Taariik and Patros hears screeches and commotion towards the other end of the warehouse.

If you wont make the ropes fall I'll move and possibly attack a rat. Just worried you'll make the ropes fall.

Ito rides over to the rat that looks strangely purple. He stabs down at it with his longsword.

Longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

No worries, the ropes will stay and dangle freely. But Ito fumbled :(

"Keep fighting. I can mind the ropes now."

”I dislike rats! Annoying!!“

Taarik steps forward slightly, draws his crossbow and shoots.

Crossbow, PBS : 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 = 23
Damage, pbs : 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

No worries, the ropes will stay and dangle freely.

Ito misses the swing, thrown off by the sudden creak of the unsteady wood at the edge of the hole.

Roll DC 12 Acrobatics, if fail, Roll REF 15 or in fall into the water.

Without Quickdraw, Taariik can only draw and load crossbow this round. Retcon ok.

Any action from Endor this round?

Patros hurries towards the middle of the warehouse.

double move...im on phone cant move token

I'm not sure if I can go or not?

Yep everyone is up

Maru moves further into the warehouse, and pulls out her crossbow.

Assuming the crate is difficult terrain Endor can still hope up on the crate a stab at the rat.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 assuming I have higher ground retain if needed

Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 101d4 ⇒ 2
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 191d4 ⇒ 1 hit, Fort 11 save vs filth fever

Endor's spear misses the rat, it bites back without contact. Ito gets a filthy nibble on his foot.

<party up, AOO for Endor, need another acrobatic DC 12 from Ito.>

Taarik takes his now loaded crossbow and shoots.

Crossbow @blue rat, PBS : 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9
Damage, pbs : 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

He reloads the crossbow.

AOO Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
