GM R Box - Jade Regent AP

Game Master Twistlok

Sorry, busy week at work.

Onas follows Kagyu to the hatch, preparing to do what he can to help.

"A fight below deck will get crowded, but I'll do what I can to help."

Amy finds she knows little about what this is while Onas move so he can help below deck.

Greatax: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

he undead versin of Snorri Stone-Eye wheezes at it brings its great ax around at Durian. Fortunatly for the dwarf the ship lists slightly and the ax harmlessly slams into a wooden bench.

Tahata sees an opening and, bolstered by Ayame's song, tries to slip past the undead horror before stabbing his spear at the creature caught between himself and Durian.

Move Action to Acrobatics past Snorri to avoid the AoO (Acrobatics vs CMD: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26), Standard Action to attack.

Spear attack, inspire courage, Power Attack, Outflank, bull's strength: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Damage, inspire courage, Power Attack, bull's strength, Precise Strike: 1d8 + 14 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 14 + (3) = 25

Durian growls in his throat as the creature closes in past the reach of his spear. as Tahata hits the monster from behind Durian switches the spear to one hand and uses the other to punch the creature twice.

unarmed strike, PA, flank, inspired courage: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 24
damage, PA, inspired courage: 1d8 + 5 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 4 + 1 = 18
unarmed strike, PA, flank, inspired courage: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 18
damage, PA, inspired courage: 1d8 + 5 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 4 + 1 = 12

Ayame continued with her song and during one of the cords cast a spell.

Ear-Piercing Scream! DC14 to save against dazed and take half damage.

Sonic Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

Kagyu slips below deck and unleashes a divine pulse at the reanimated Snorri, and attempts to identify what he has become.

Channel Positive Energy Attack, DC15 for half: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7 *1.33 = 9 damage total

Identify Undead, Knowledge(Religion): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Onas moves down to the lower deck as he draws his bow.

"Why would someone chain that thing down here?"

Onas fires an arrow at it, trying not to hit his friends.

Well, that wasn't a good round.

Tahata manages to get around the undead without getting hit and delivers a massive hit with his spear. Durian follows quickly behind and brings down the undead creature. Undead Full Dead

Tahata, you were +14 to damage?

A quick search of the ship reveals that neither Ulf Gormundr nor the sword Suishen is present on the ship. The funerary goods stacked in the hold are worth several thousand gold pieces, but most of the items are bulky and impossible to carry off the ship quickly and in kayaks. One item of note is an ornate viking helmet that sits on the end of two spears.

As a full-round action, each PC can make an Appraise check. The result of this check × 10 is the value in gp of portable, nonmagical treasures each character can quickly gather.

Up on deck you hear Maitoh give several loud barks and a growl. Tahata and Onas you hear what sounds like a few people climbing up over the side of the ship and you can now smell smoke faintly.

An icon over the side of the ship means they are still climbing up.

"This looks shiny...." Loren says as he picks up a gold armband and slides it over his wrist.

Appraise: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"Is that your dog growling up on deck?" he asks.

Appraise: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Wow, 2 6s in a row...

"Ooooh! Pretty..." Ayame said as she looked the helmet over. While seventy gold wasn't amazing but it was better than leaving empty handed.

Taking the helmet from the spears Ayame stopped and gasped. "Maitoh!!!" She said as she looked to Tahata.

appraise: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Durian spots a small bag, and sure enough inside are a number of gold rings and other jewelry. he ties the little bag to his belt as he hears the wolf above. He quickly picks back up his spear and moves up the ladder tot he deck

Sorry GM, can't work out why I declared +14. +4 Str, +1 enhancement, +3 Power Attack, + 3 bull's strength is +11. Apologies, won't happen again.

Tahata sees the funeral goods and is about to take a step towards them when he hears noises from on deck. "That's Maitoh," he says, adding "and it sounds like there are people trying to climb aboard." He turns and hurries back to the hatch, pulling himself up onto the deck to see the longboat being boarded by a group of black-clad figures. "We're under attack!" he calls down the hatch. Maitoh waits by Tahata's side, ready to leap into the fray when instructed.

Move Action to get back to the hatch, I assume a Move Action to pull myself up onto the deck.

Onas watches as his companions begin going through the treasures but he's paying attention somewhere else.

"Nuci!" he exclaims as he turns to follow Tahata up to the top deck. "I knew I should have stayed on deck!

Onas speaks some arcana words then fades from view. The sound of creaking boards seem to indicate he has climbed up to the top deck.

Standard action to cast vanish. Move action to climb up to top deck. Climb check made if needed.

Waiting on Kagyu.

Appraise: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6

Seeing the undead taken care of he grabs the nearest shiny thinks that will fit in his pockets and goes to move above deck.

The remaining ninjas make it onto the boat and are moving towards the hatch. Those that made it to the top can also see that a fire is beginning to burn on the front of the boat. Red Area

Shortbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Shortbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

The two ninjas that had already made it on deck each fire their shortbows at Tahata. One connects. As soon as the arrows are in fight each drops the bow to the ground and draws a blade.

Come upstairs would be part of a move action taking 10 feet of movement. Doing it this way to keep things simple.

Loren moves onto the deck and see's the two ninjas.

He focuses his magic and casts a cone of ice and snow into the two of them.

flurry of snowballs: 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 1, 4, 1) + 4 = 16 (DC17 Reflex for half)

Tahata grunts as one of the attackers' arrows scores a bright line of pain across his shoulder. He levels his spear at one of the boarders and calls "Maitoh, cinah!" Man and wolf move in unison to surround the black-clad human, teeth and spear attacking together.

Tahata - Free Action to handle Maitoh, Move Action to move 20ft, Standard Action to attack blue.
Maitoh - Move Action to move 20ft, using Acrobatics to avoid the AoO (Acrobatics vs CMD: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24), Standard Action to attack blue.

Tahata spear, Power Attack, Outflank, bull's strength: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
Damage, inspire courage, Power Attack, bull's strength, Precise Strike: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Maitoh bite, Power Attack, Outflank: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Damage, Power Attack, Precise Strike: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + (1) = 13
Trip vs CMD if hits: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Kagyu rushes up deck to engage. He moves to the closest figure and takes a swing with his mace.

Morning Star attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 2 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Durian climbs out of the hold to see a ninja right at the top of the stairs! he delivers a quick punch as he tries to get into position.

unarmed strike, PA: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 - 2 = 9
damage: 1d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 4 = 16

unfortunately he is off balance from climbing and smacks his fist into the wood of the trapdoor frame....

Onas quickly casts a spell while he is still invisible, trying to catch one of the attackers off guard.

As Onas appears again, he draws his mithral dagger and moves in to engage the attacker with Durian.

Well, here's hoping he loses his Dex penalty and doesn't have any bonuses beyond armor.

Ayame followed her friends up to the deck of the ship and paused when she saw the people and couldn't help but think 'Are those ninjas? Ninjas are people... I can effect people!'

Looking at the ninja that was getting closer to the team mascot and grinned. "You there! Please stop fighting my friends." Ayame began as she cast a spell.

Charm person DC 14

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Both the blue and black ninja manage to avoid the full blast of the snowballs but some damage is clearly done.

Kagyu connects with his morningstar on blue before Tahata puts him down for good. Maitoh moves and bites the black ninja but fails to trip him

Durian fails to connect with his strike as does Onas with his snowballs. Was very tempted for that fumble to knock you prone Durian, since your on a boat, but its probably not fair.

WIll: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

Ayame attempts to charm one of the ninjas but he resists her alluring call.

The three ninjas on the eastern side of the boat move into some sort of formation, each reading an attack with the siangham the wield. Readied actions for that trio. Black did a withdraw action.

siangham @ onas: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Conrnered the red ninja lashes out at Onas. The boat shifts slightly and his attack just misses.

The fire at the back of the front of the boat spreads some and the thick black smoke starts to conceale some of the ninjas.

20% miss chance on Black and Green

Tahata steps over the body of the black-clad attacker and urges Maitoh toward the next nearby target, barely visible through the smoke billowing from the back of the boat. "Maitoh, hücum!" he shouts as he rushes past the smouldering bier to jab in with his spear.

Maitoh - Move Action to move 10ft (possibly triggering green and yellow's readied actions), Standard Action to attack yellow.
Tahata - Free Action to handle Maitoh, Move Action to move 25ft, Standard Action to attack yellow.

Maitoh bite, Power Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Tahata spear, Power Attack, bull's strength: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Durian recovers from his off-balance swing Thank you GM for not knocking me down! haha

he comes back swinging at the ninja (red)

unarmed strike, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 2 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 4 = 15
crit?: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 8 - 2 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 4 = 15

unarmed strike, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 8 - 2 = 25
damage: 1d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 4 = 17

So.... 47 damage?

Durian just starts smashing his fists into the guy, and when he stops himself finds that the man is quite dead at his feet. he shakes a bit of blood from his fist and looks towards the rest of the group.

Loren steps up to the rail on the north side of the ship.

He focuses his magic and tosses a frozen snowball at the white ninja.

"Who are these guys in the black pajamas?"

Snowball: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 (touch attack)

damage: 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3, 1, 2) + 4 = 13

but it flies past the pajama guy.

Assuming that Durian has dropped the ninja we had conrnered.

Onas sees that Durian has handled the threat between them and move up beside Kagyu and fires his bow at the one target not engulfed in smoke.

Kagyu strides closer toward the ninja in back and points a damming finger towards him while speaking... something... at him. A ray blasts forth.

Move 20 feet and cast Admonishing Ray at black
Admonishing Ray touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Non-lethal damage: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 5, 3) = 15
Miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 92

"Ninjas." Ayame answered. "Often assassins." She added before she placed the helmet she had grabbed on her head to use her hands freely. Then she clapped her hands together before bringing them to her mouth, opening them and blowing what seems to be a handful of glitter towards the group of three ninjas.

Glitterdust! DC15 Will save not to be blind.

Green Siangham @ Maitoh: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Yellow Siangham @ Maitoh: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

The ninja's are ready and lash out at Maitoh but only one manages to connect. For its part the wolf cannot connect with its teeth either. Following Maitoh, Tahata lands a hard strike with his spear.

Durian lands multiple blows and can hear several bones snap as the force of his blows not only kill the ninja but knock him clean overboard.

Onas does his part also hitting the yellow ninja. Kagyu casts a spell and knocks the black ninja unconcious.

GM: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Ayame places the helmet on her head and begins to cast a spell. The spell is never completed though as a melodious and deep male voice, coming form the helmet begins speaking. Those near by can also hear this voice.

"My lady, it would have been polite to ask before donning me as a simple helmet I think."

The wings on the side of the helmet begin to flutter as it lifts up off of Ayame's head and moves to a flanking position on the remaining ninjas. Once there a line of magical fire and ice engulfs the ninjas rendering them all unconscious and dying.

knowledge(planes): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

"This is unexpected! What is an angel doing laying disguised as part of the Jarl's treasure hoard?" Loren exclaims.

Thank you for your help o great flying helmet person! has Agran sent you to help us in our time of need? our intentions are not evil, but it seems have been thwarted all the same. We came here to save a man and find a sword, but neither seem to be here..."

Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Ayame gave a suprised scream as she jumped watching the helmet. "Wait... angel?!" Ayame asked. "I am so sorry, I, I just though you where a normal helmet." Ayame said in her defense.

"Wait, why didn't you introduce yourself when I picked you up?" She questioned. "Oh I'm being rude. I'm Ayame, these are my friends Durian, Loren, Kagyu, Onas, Tahata, and Maitoh." Ayame said as she pointed to each. "Also this boat is on fire so would you like to come with us? Maybe talk about what is going on in a place that won't burn us alive?"

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 sigh...

"We must go now. We can talk later. And in Shelyn's name, thank you for your assistance.. uh... Helm."

Kagyu moves to the edge of the boat intending to ocver his allies until they disembark.

"Yes, the fire. Best leave."

It flies to the edge of the boat still speaking.

"I did not show myself as I did not know why you were here. You could have been of ill intent or just common theives. I have some magic and you seem good enough still..... wait the fire. Lets discuss on the shore."

There is time to search the bodies of the ninja's and you can see that they are all Tian men. There is nothing else that identifies them in any other way. They each also carry a small jade statue of a raven.

The group can make it back to the shore fairly easily and the burning boat will certainly cover any of your activities. The minor angle is there waiting for you and happy to discuss what it knows. The plan you had worked out with Uksahkka was to meet here ate the Shrine of Shelyn using the clay token you were given for access.

Tahata is as surprised as anyone to see the helmet floating and speaking, it's metal wings bearing it aloft. He quickly checks Maitoh's wound, seeing a minor scratch, and then begins to move back towards his friends. He helps Ayame and Maitoh back onto their canoe as the helmet, which he hears the others refer to as an angel, flies back towards shore.

He pushes away from the burning longboat and paddles quickly back to shore. Once back on dry land he looks to the angel for answers. "What do you know about what happened to Snorri? And do you know who sent those...ninjas?" he asks, the word unfamiliar to him and he says it slowly to ensure the correct pronunciation.

once on the shore, Durian sits with the others to discuss next moves.

So that was a bit of a bust. no sword, no guide. where do we go next to find someone who can lead us where we need to go?

Durian runs his fingers over one of the jade amulets they took from the ninja bodies.

Know local: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Hmm... these symbols seem somewhat familiar to me. A raven. Ravens are used to carry messages. Maybe these guys were some sort of mail service ninjas carrying messages from far away. or shapeshifters, like that Oni we beat up in the castle.

"They seemed to be expecting us. Leaving the undead below decks and the assassins showing up once we were on board." Loren suggests.

"Maybe someone sent word to these adversaries about our plans?"

"Thank you Tahata." Ayame said as he helped her down into the boat and the group made their way back to shore.

"It is more likely we're being watched." Ayame said as she looked over the raven. "Like that guy who thought we killed his dog."

Knowledge Local: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Dawnflower shine upon me, a Cassisian Nagel. Wonders never cease on this adventure!

"I overheard some talk," Onas says as the group gathers on shore. "in my travels, of a shadowy group here in the north. They are known as the Frozen Shadows. Thieves and assassins from the tales. If they were here for us specifically then we seem to have some powerful enemies here. I think we should be even more cautious."

Onas approaches the Cassisian and stares for a second. He lifts his eyes to the sun and whispers a quick word, then he smiles at the angel. "Thank you bright one. I had never imagined meeting someone from the shining realms. Powerful enemies and powerful allies I guess."

Kagyu pulses out a bit of healing energy before speaking.
Channel energy, Heal: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4 -> 5

Thank your for taking care of the ninjas, Angel. It seems that the artifact we were searching for is coveted by more, and darker foes than we expected. How did you end up on that burning pyre?

The hemlet hovers in the air, wings moving slowly up and down.

"Like most of my kind I was called here. I was a wizards familiar for some time, we did good things. He has since died and I am hoping to get back home. Your theories are good but the undead in the ship.... that was not their doing. The poor man had an illness, curse really, he wasted away for a long time but never fully died. Just became that."

"I learned of this man after stumbling on a group of Oni, the Five Storms. The Rimerunners Guild is somehow connected to these evil beings."

"How did Snorri become cursed?" Tahata asks, somewhat confused to be talking with a flying helmet. "And who are the Five Storms? Are they here?"

"Specifics of how he because cursed I do not know. Some time ago, the vile viking captain contracted a chronic wasting illness while on an uncharted island in the Steaming Sea. The disease resisted all attempts at magical healing, and as the years passed, Snorri slowly succumbed to the ailment."

As you talk the angle talks a bit more about the Oni, evils spirits of Tian origin who are pulling the strings for he assassins guild members you fought. It explains that the Five Storms are, from what it can tell, several Oni one of whom has taken up residence in a body of one of the assassins.

It has few other details other then to suggest that the Rimerunners are somehow involved. Hearing you are heading to a temple it wishes to go that far, at least, with you.

Anything else you want to ask or do before heading to your meetup location? Do you even want to go there or someplace else?

Well I suppose putting him on a burning ship is one way to deal with an undead captain... did you hear any mention of a man named Ulf or of a magical heirloom sword during your time on this ship?

after talking with the floating helmet, Durian suggests to the others that they should move to the meetup point. they haven't found Ulf yet, but they will still need to try to convince his partner to help guide them

"So the Oni are trying to kill us... that's great... that's just great." Ayame said sarcastically with a sigh. "What have you gotten into Ayame...?" She muttered to herself.

Oh right... um what are we to call you?" Ayame asked the angel. "I feel like Helm is insulting... though is does bring up another question, would you like to still act as a helm for one of us? To keep what you are a secret from others I mean."

I'm all for the meet up point.

Onas nods as Durian mentions following the plan to meet their contact.

"We shouldn't abandon our contact. That may lead to even more trouble."

For a moment Onas considers the idea of an angel companion accompanying him, but realizes that the helm would raise more questions with him wearing it. The idea is interesting though and he smiles.

"We will take you anywhere you wish along our route, Angel. I wish I wish I could do more but I am committed to see this journey to the end," he spoke the next part more to himself. "I owe Koya that much. I wonder what she will make of all this..."

Tahata agrees with the others - escorting the angel to the meeting with Uksahkka seems like the best plan. "We will escort you as far as you wish," he says to the angel, "though we do not know where our journey will take us next."

"I think we still need to meet with Uksahkka, she's the closest thing to a guide that we've found."
