GM Silbeg's #3-18 Gods Market Gamble (Outpost) (Inactive)

Game Master Silbeg

I forgot Darven's Raging song...
Meiomi draws another arrow, and kisses it, praying to Erastil to guide her arrow's flight.
Meiomi Shooting into Melee: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 4 = 19 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2
And may Erastil curse her arm to tire rapidly! Come on guys, we can do this!

Appears you forgot it again...
Seeing the woman from her hidey hole, but not under cover, Meiomi us able to land the first wound on the woman!

During a pause in his activation of the wand, Torgat shouts, "Nice shot, Meiomi!" He quickly turns his attention back to his summoning.

Botting Kokina

Kokina bites at the woman, and barely misses.
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

The snake still an obvious threat to her, the woman turns upon it with her axe. The axe slades across Konika's scales, but does not bite in.
greataxe vs AC15: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 - 2 = 7

Kinshasa stabilize DC12: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 Stable.

Kokinoa, Torgat, Trex, Meiomi, Darvan are is/are up!

Universal Conditions:

Darven begins climbing up the tent!

Climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Darven climbs up the tent... and now stares the woman down.

I have been waiting for my turn to come up so I could roll stabilization, but I see you covered that in a GM roll. Thanks, GM.. at least I know I am not going to die because of crappy player dicebots!!

Still having a clear shot, Meiomi draws and shoots again at the archer.
Ok, Erastil, need your guidance again!
Meiomi shooting into melee: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 - 4 = 17 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Sorry for the delay - busy couple of days at work.

Another eagle appears overhead, and flies directly at the Pathfinders’ attacker, lashing out with her beak when she reaches the roof.

Smiting evil if applicable.

Beak attack, smite, controlled inspired rage: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 = 171d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6

Torgat and Trex hurry closer to the battle.

Meiomi shoots at Parani, but misses. Closely.

Celeste the summoned eagle hits, but only because she is flanking with Kokina. In fact, her holy smiting appears to be effective!

Torgat and Trex hurry forward.

Bot
Kokina attacks, now with a flank! However, the snake is so overwhelmed by the state of her master, she misses.
bite w/ flank: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11

Seeing Darven at the top of the tent causes the woman to change her target. "Die, Believer!" she screams at the top of her lungs, as she swings at the half-elf. Darven takes a deep wound in the chest, as her axe bites deeply, and he collapses, bleeding out.
Greataxe, PA, FA vs AC19: 1d20 + 6 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 - 2 + 2 = 21 slashing: 1d12 + 3 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 6 + 2 = 18

She then steps over Darven to move out of flank.

Raging song ends
Darven stabilize DC18: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Kokina, Torgat, Trex, Meiomi are is/are up!

Universal Conditions:

Bleh, so much for that.

Trex casts guidance on Torgat, then runs ahead, hoping to get close enough to Meiomi to cast it on her while she is still conscious and shooting (next round).

Torgat continues to hurry closer to the battle, double-move at half-speed to stay out of sight against the sides of the tents. If Meiomi looks back at him, he puts a finger to his lips to signal her not to say anything. He hopes to catch their assailant flat-footed once he is finally close enough to attack.

Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Dang it, I was using that inspired rage!

With a fierce cry that echoes throughout the plaza, the eagle attacks the axe-wielding archer with everything she has!

Beak, smite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 211d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7

Talon 1, smite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 161d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Talon 2, smite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Kokina bites at the woman

Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 Damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

if it hits she'll attempt to grapple the woman. She has grab so no AOO for the attempt

She tries to wrap her coils around the woman and hold her.

Grapple: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

HEY Lady! I'm a believer too! Meiomi taunts the woman. Then she takes aim again and fires.
Meiomi shooting into Melee: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 3 - 4 = 19 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8
possible crit: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 3 - 4 = 5

The bird hits once (I will need a DC15 fly check for its hover. I am pretty sure it gets a +8 on the check)

Kokina gets an additional +4 on her grapple if she has the grab special ability.
The snake then bites her, but fails to hold on.

Finally, Meimo hits here even with the turmoil in the melee.

The woman ignores those on the ground, as she obviously has other issues to deal with. She steps up to Kokina, and swings her blade at the snake. Her blade bites deep but the snake is still alive.

greataxe, PA vs AC14: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 - 2 = 14 PA slashing: 1d12 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 6 = 14

Note, she now has cover due to the angle to the ground.

Kokina(partial), Torgat, Trex, Meiomi are is/are up!

Universal Conditions:

Fly (hover): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

The eagle launches another frenzy of attacks, slashing and pecking at the wounded adversary.

Beak, smite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7

Talon 1, smite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Talon 2, smite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7

Ugh

The eagle flaps 5 feet away from the roof to avoid her enemy’s reach (and a hover check?).

The eagle disappears with a popping sound, as the air rushes into the void where she had been.

Edit: just realized that was the third round for Celeste, so back to the celestial realms she goes.

Torgat steps forward and concentrates for a moment. A jet of acid streams towards the woman on the roof.

Ranged touch, guidance: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 1 = 131d6 ⇒ 6

Gah! And it's probably worse than it looks, because of partial cover. Not sure if it counts as firing into melee given that everyone on the roof is down and the eagle backed away returned home, but it probably doesn't matter.

"Damn you! What is this all about?"

Trex runs up to Meiomi and taps her on the ankle with his snout, casting guidance.

Any chance Torgat caught her by surprise with his stealthy movement (rolled previous round) and deprived her of her Dex bonus as well as going against touch AC, so all she gets is 10 + whatever her bonus from cover is? If it requires another stealth roll for this round, feel free to make the roll or tell me and I can do it.

Rather than failing splendidly at climbing, Meiomi takes aim and shoots again. Erastil, really need your help here!
Shooting into Melee with Guidance: 1d20 - 4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) - 4 + 3 + 1 = 2 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

perception vs stealth 21: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
there is a chance ;)
However, since Kokina is still in melee, it does count.
And cover counted.
Close, but no cigar

The bird fails to connect with the woman, as do both Meiomi and Torgat.

Kokina?

Staggered so I think I get a single action, either movement or standard.

Kokina bites at the woman again.

Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 Damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Torgat stretches onto his toes to see the outcome of the big snake's attack, unconsciously crossing his fingers for luck.

The snake fails to land the strike before she also falls unconscious, bleeding out.

The still very confident woman shoves her axe into its sheath and picks up her bow, preparing to start shooting once more. "Believers, know that your time has come. I will send you to your gods... and know that your worship of them was ill-founded. May you get what you deserve!"

She is in her perch now, with partial cover, but you can all see her.

Torgat, Trex, Meiomi are is/are up!

whispering so that Torgat can hear her "Hey, Torgat, come into the tent so that she has to come down, there will be no target for her. Right now she has the advantage, and she's proven quite deadly with that bow.
Meiomi moves into the tent, and looks at the supports wondering if she can make the top a less stable spot to shoot from, without endangering her friends with a 20' fall.
knowledge engineering with inspiration: 1d20 + 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (14) + (2) + 10 = 26

"Ill-founded? That's just ... how can you deny the gods when the concrete evidence of their existence and power is all around you? Through the gods, we are healed! Sanctified! Damned! Brought back from the grave, and returned to it! And finally, we are judged, and we all get what we deserve in the end!" Torgat shouts in response.

He fires off another acid dart, before ducking into the tent with Meiomi, Trey at his heels.

Acid Dart, ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 61d6 ⇒ 1

The dice generator hates this party. Edited my move to follow Meiomi.

"Fool! I do not deny the gods existence! I deny the value in venerating them, worshiping them! Do you not see that the cost of such things is far more than the benefit? How many people must die before you realize that the pettiness of the divine has cost more lives than any disease or wound that they might have healed, if it benefits their fancy?" she yells.

From above, you then hear, "You think that hiding in the tent will save you? I would beg to differ with you."

Something happens
Kokina stabilized DC11: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 Kokina bleeds

Torgat, Trex, Meiomi are is/are up!
Universal Adjustments:
Universal Conditions:

"How many more people must die? The answer seems to be entirely up to you today, murderer! Aren't you behaving exactly like the gods you deplore, deciding who lives and who dies according to your whims?"

Torgat readies an acid dart in case their assailant opens the tent flap.

Any other exits, just in case?

Trex casts guidance on Torgat, in case he needs it.

Meiomi watches the top of the tent, tracking the movements of the archer. She draws the bow, and follows the path of the archer, waiting to see her bright eyes before taking a shot.
Torgat, you stay behind me, I'll engage her if needed, you keep sniping her. You don't have any more eagles you can summon do you?

Already stated Torgat’s readied action for this round, but haven’t used his move action yet, so I’ll draw the wand of SM1. It’s a full-round to cast from the wand, but probably worth a shot next round.

Without taking his eyes from the tent flap, Torgat pulls his wand from his belt.

”As a matter of fact...”

The two inside the tent hear the sounds of someone reading something above them.

Torgat, Trex, Meiomi are is/are up!
Universal Adjustments:
Universal Conditions:

Torgat listens to the sound of their attacker's voice droning above them. "She's reading in the middle of a battle. That never means anything good."

Torgat activates his wand (SM1 [CL3]) and begins another summoning.

The little dinosaur nudges Meiomi with his snout again, casting guidance for her next attack.

Meiomi continues to ready her shot for when she sees Parani, but no Parani comes in.

As Torgat focuses on his wand, the two her the 'tink' of a small glass bottle bouncing off the flagstones outside of the tent.

Torgat, Trex, Meiomi are is/are up!

Universal Conditions:

With his summoning complete, Torgat draws his dagger and steps to the far side of the tent.

He whispers to Meiomi, "As Master of Swords Farabellus taught us, always know where your second way out of a room is, and if one doesn't exist, make one yourself."

Torgat gathers some of the tent fabric in one hand to tighten it, then stabs into it and slices down quickly, creating a rear exit from the tent (I hope).

Another celestial eagle appears in the tent with a sudden pop and the scent of a breeze blowing off mountain stream. It darts through the tent flap and flies at their enemy on the roof.

Not sure what Celeste sees on the roof, so I'm posting her attack in a spoiler.

[spoiler=Eagle attack, if appropriate]
Talon, Smite Evil: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 101d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7

Trex casts guidance Torgat, for the next time he needs it.

(The spell should still be in effect for Meiomi's next d20 roll.)

"Screeee-ahhhh!" is heard from above, the sound of a confused eagle.

Torgat, you wanna make me an attack with your dagger, please!

You got it! And as for the eagle, I guess confused is better than dead?

Dagger vs. tent: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (5) + 0 = 51d4 ⇒ 2

Face, meet palm.

Did the feet move, the ones I was watching? Since I studied the tent, can I see a way to open it easily, like the seams at the side?
Certainly seems like we need a new way out, darnit. The last thing I wanted was to let her get at us from above. The eagle is confused, maybe she went invisible? or is that smoke?
Meiomi goes over to a likely spot to destroy part of the tent and cuts.
slice the tent: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Don't forget +1 for guidance!

Wow... just... wow...

Torgat cuts into the thick canvas of the tent, causing a little damage, but doesn't get a really good cut. Meiomi try the same, but her blade deflects slightly.

The sides of the tent show the signs of someone climbing down, and then you hear the sounds of someone outside of the tent.

Torgat, Trex, Meiomi are is/are up!
Universal Adjustments:
Universal Conditions:

Do we hear the person near the door/flap, or somewhere else?

Torgat pulls a scroll of mage armor from his pack and reads it. His feet begin to glow with a pale green light that quickly rises to cover his entire body, then fades from visibility.

Meiomi stops to consider. Whispering, she says, If she's right outside the door, I'm going out and trying to stab her one. Erastil curse her. I'll distract her and let you summon your Eagles to try to down her. If she isn't outside the entrance, I'll head out and around to try to catch her. Does that sound like a good plan, Torgat?

Torgat holds up his wand in agreement. Look at that, my hand is hardly shaking at all!

"It should work. Good luck!", he whispers back.
