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

Game Master Silbeg

Trex taps Meiomi with a claw, once again casting guidance on the investigator.

Meiomi slides her blade partly through the door, pulling the door back in a way that doesn't reveal Torgat and reveals her under cover. She peers out into the alleyway, looking for her target, listening in case she went invisible.
perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
Seeing nothing she will step out of the tent, fighting defensively.

Meiomi... I see a few too many actions. Perception is a move action, moving is a move, and fighting defensively would require an actual attack. If you meant total defense, then, still that requires a standard/attack action

Meiomi does not notice anyone out in the alleyway, so she moves out.

Torgat, I'd need an active perception check (move action)

Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

When Torgat’s rolls revert to the mean, this lady had better watch out.

The first indication that someone is in the area is the arrow that appears in Meiomi's chest. Surprisingly, the second arrow misses! The first arrow, however, causes a radiating burning pain coming from the wound, which saps her strength!

arrow, PB, RS, Invis: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 11 + 1 - 2 + 2 = 26 piercing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
arrow, PB, RS: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 11 + 1 - 2 = 11 piercing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Meiomi Fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14Strength Damage: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Torgat, Trex, Meiomi are is/are up!

GM, I think it's round 16, not 18. I assume the eagle Torgat summoned in Round 14 is dead? If not, she should be around through round 17.

Torgat winces at the sound of Meiomi being struck by an arrow, but sticks to the plan and begins another summoning.

Sorry... jumped ahead accidently. You are right. The eagle has one round (14, 15, 16)

The eagle swoops in with a cry and rakes at Parini with a talon, smiting evil.

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

Meiomi grimaces a bit from the arrow, but bravely steps up into battle.

Torgat, can you get me a flanking partner eagle? I stink with the sword Meiomi steps up to a near flank and tries to hit Parani.

swing: 1d20 ⇒ 19damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

don’t you get +1 to hit with a long Sword? Plus, that is a crit chance.

Meiomi comfirm: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4additional damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Meiomi lands a blow with her longsword, though the eagle fails to strike before the summoning magic runs out.

The woman steps back, snarling, and launches a pair of arrows at the believer.

Bow, PB, RS vs AC16: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 1 - 2 = 16 arrow, PB: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6
Bow, PB, RS vs AC16: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 11 + 1 - 2 = 24 arrow, PB: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5

Both arrows strike home, causing Meiomi to collapse to the ground, bleeding. To add insult to injury, the poison rushing through her veins weakens her some more.

Meiomi Fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 STR damage: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Meiomi stabilize DC13: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (11) + 0 = 11 Bleeds

Torgat finishes his casting...

Torgat, Trex are is/are up!

Universal Conditions:

Torgat finishes his spell, then hurries out to get a clear shot at Parani with an acid dart.

Acid Dart vs touch AC, guidance: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 = 111d6 ⇒ 5

Trex skitters up to the unconscious investigator and casts guidance to help her stabilize.

With a pop of displaced air, the celestial eagle appears 5 feet away from Parani. The bird of prey lets loose with a shriek evolved to paralyze her target (it works on small rodents, anyway), then launches a full attack against the escaping atheist archer, smiting evil as she does.

Talon 1, smite evil: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 211d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Talon 2, smite evil: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 101d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Beak, smite evil: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 131d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

eagle hover DC15: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
The celestial eagle strikes home once with a talon, but misses with its other attacks. Torgat's acid bolt, however, doesn't do as well.

Parani steps away from the eagle, and fires at the summoner. In turn, she drops the conjurer, and then fires at the eagle, sending back to her heavenly home.

Bow vs Torgat, PBS, RS, FE vs AC16: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 11 + 1 - 2 + 2 = 24 arrows, PBS, FE: 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 7
[s]Bow vs Eagle, PBS, RS vs AC14: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 1 - 2 = 15 arrows, PBS: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6

An unknown time later, the team is woken up by a group of Graycloaks. The team is questioned, but it is clear that they were ambushed, but they are also being held in suspicion of the warehouse fire. When the team brings up the woman that attacked them (who the Graycloaks identify as being Parani), you are asked to provide what evidence that you have about Parani's guilt.

Kinshasa looks around at the other team members with a slightly worried expression. Do we even have anything that proves her guilt? I don't know. What if I get arrested?

Moving slowly from his recent injuries, Torgat leads the Graycloaks back behind the red tent to where the corpse of Parani’s hawk lies dead on the ground.

“If you recognized the woman who attacked us based on our description, perhaps you will also recognize her companion?” He shakes his head sadly. “A magnificent bird. Such a shame she sent him into danger so heedlessly.” Torgat bends down and scratches Trex’s head. "Also, Rialla Barleyhusk, who works at the potions shop across from Cayden's Hall, interacted with a woman matching Parani’s description, thinking she was a Graycloack such as yourselves; the result of that brief meeting was the death of the first mugging victim - possibly from poison similar to that which Parani used on her arrows when she attacked us."

Torgerud quickly realizes that the hawk is no longer there....

that is a crazy autocorrect for Torgat

I think Torgat sums up what we have pretty well. Not much in the way of physical evidence, but I think that's all we have.

Garekk steps up to assist Torgat in dealing with the Greycloaks.
"And at the second attack.. the friar saw a pair of what he believed to be Greycloaks as well. We found a note that read "Barnel- Noon, Pitview Pub", as well as an arrow coated in poison. That should be able to be matched with these arrows lying around here, and the poison that did in several people around town."

He shuffles his feet and carefully doesn't mention the fire that nearly killed them all..

Meiomi stands quietly in the background, willing to offer an expert opinion on the poison, but without a lot to say otherwise. Two near death experiences have changed her.

The Graycloaks listen to the Pathfinders' testimonies, and eventually release them. The team is brought back the Grand Lodge, "so that you cannot raise any more havoc today".

Once there, you are brought to Master of Scrolls Kreighton Shaine's office. Sitting with the elf is Grandmaster Torch, who is flanked by a rather large half-orc.

"So, Pathfinders, how did the mission go?" asks Shaine.

"And where is my keg?" demands Torch.

Darven steps forward, unafraid of Grandmaster Torch, "Yeah, sorry, but the enemy leader proved to be too powerful for us. She was extremely effective versus divine casters too and she managed to knock us all out, but didn't kill us thankfully. Unfortunately, the Keg was lost as well, stolen by the leader we chased to get it back and possibly burned in a fire that the group started." he says to both Shiane and Torch.

Great, another one of my characters that will hate Grandmaster Torch lol

Garekk steps into the room, hanging hi head in shame. "We tried our hardest, and nearly died several times.. but we did indeed fail. Our blood has been spilt across this city, but it was all for naught."

He stands still, trying not to shuffle his feet as he awaits his dressing down..

Master Shaine, the mission went poorly from start to stop. We failed to get the evidence in the warehouse when it caught on fire. The cask was also engulfed. We were barely rescued. We did find and follow the thief, Parani, but she outmaneuvered us from the start. I apologize for not being the addition the team needed to be successful. Meiomi looks terribly upset. If you want to expel me from the Pathfinders I would understand.

The Master of Scrolls looks over towards Torch, who seems ready to say something, but instead, he just picks himself up and leaves.

"Young one, you did what you could. It is unfortunate that you did not capture the criminal, but at least you exposed her. She will not be able to do this to us again." he says.

"Don't worry about Grandmaster Torch. Knowing him, he has already recovered the remains of the cask, and is planning on getting it restored, and then selling it back to us. That is the way of things, I guess.

"Hopefully this was a good learning experience. I am sure you will all do better, next time."

Primary was to defeat Parani
Secondart was to defeat her without killing her
I will do chronicles tonight. Reporting is already done.

"I swear, I will Sir.." Garekk mumbles, startled at the unexpectedly soft chastisement.. failure of this sort would have received at best a whipping in his tribe.. and he shuddered to think of the worst case punishment for such failure. He bobs his head in a bow and turns to leave, dejected.
