GM Tarondor's PFS #1 - Silent Tide (TABLE C) (Inactive)

Game Master Tarondor

Guido moves up the last few rows of pipes to his target. Frustrated with all the monkeying around, he gives the creature a swift kick.

Climb DC15: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Slachagok - It was the charge I was objecting to. I think it would take two move actions to get there - there aren't (thankfully) a lot of rules on swinging from organ pipes, so I was likening it to climbing. You interpretation is objectively as good as mine, but... as GM I gotta make a call. Hope you're okay with that ruling.

Moving this along in an attempt to finish before Gameday.

Guido smashes the last Black Echelon operative with a roundhouse kick to the ribs.

Not long after, the heroes play the hymn to Abadar and end the threat of the Silent Tide. Now only Nessian remains.

Scene V: The Pyramid of the Dog

You approach the ruined siege towers that form the Pyramid of the Dog. You can see that three outer towers have collapsed in and rest on one central tower, from which a siege bridge extends out into the air twenty feet up. The door to the central tower is guarded by a huge and mean-looking dog tethered to a pole. Figures can be seen lurking in the doorway of the outer towers.

The rocks are difficult terrain and tall enough to provide cover.

If you wanted to do healing or buffing, do so now pre-combat. Otherwise, go to it.

You win initiative. Go!

Slachagok - It was the charge I was objecting to. I think it would take two move actions to get there - there aren't (thankfully) a lot of rules on swinging from organ pipes, so I was likening it to climbing. You interpretation is objectively as good as mine, but... as GM I gotta make a call. Hope you're okay with that ruling.

Sure, no objections. I was just trying to understand the reasoning behind it. I hear organ-top battles are coming back in a big way in Season 5, so I want to make sure I'm current on all the mechanics.

Slach has retrieved his greataxe from where he dropped it, and has drawn it as they approached the temple.

"The hell is this place," Slachagok wonders aloud as the group pauses some yards away from the tower. He eyes the guard dog chained outside the entrance. "I think this Nessian has a bit o' a thing for canines."

He glances toward the nearest thug, watching the party from a collapsed tower.

"Maybe we take care o' these other sons'a first."

Slachagok will move NE, NE, NE, NE and attack Thug? A. Not sure what kind of obstacle the doorway poses, if any. If Slach can charge-attack, he will. If he can't, normal move action in the same direction, then standard action attack. Arcane Strike (swift) first, in either case.

Attack vs. A: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 +2 if charge is allowed
Damage: 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

I'm guessing my armor is gone now? can i please get that renewed as well as a little healing before combat?

I'll pause to see what healing and buffing get done. We have four days to wrap this up if you want to participate in Gameday.

no buffs or healing for me... moving forward.

Flinkae advances through the rubble, saying briefly, "I will scorch the dog at range. I'd rather not be shot."

Round 1
Status: HP 7/7,- AC 14/T: 12/FF: 12 - Perception +2 - F: +1/ R: +2/ W: +2 - CMB: +0 - CMD: 12, Speed: 30, Init. +2
Move 1&2: (half speed), 6E, settle into cover from the tower

2x Scrolls of Mage Armor, one on Guido, one on Etrigan. AC +4, duration 1 hour. If I only have one round to buff, then Guido takes precedence. (Ettie is giving you such a dirty look, Guido). And Iason will have tapped you with the wand Infernal after we destroyed the undead in the cathedral, so 10HP back.

***

In Combat:

Iason moves 2E, then casts Daze on Thug A. Will save DC 13.
Etrigan charges the doggie, since I think he has a clear line.

Chaaarge: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
-2 Etrigan AC, so he is at either 14, or 18 (if Iason had a chance to put Mage Armor up on him).

Iason walks forward with a scowl, gesturing with his hand at the nearest of the lurking figures. "I tire of this. Do nothing, fool," he says shortly.

Etrigan is fixed only on the dog. It's a real dog! It has flesh! He can eat it! He breaks into a loping run, dropping to hands and feet, as he tears across the open ground towards the tethered hound. Prudent battle plans? What are those?

"Stay back in safety if you wish
"I hunger for a canine dish!"

Iason, you are the man

Guido, smiling about getting the devil's goat, charges the dog as well, trying to steal some thunder from Etrigan.

Charge Non-Lethal: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 2 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

AC is down to 15

Mage armor on both Guido and Etrigan

The doorways provide cover (and thus +4 AC)

_______________________________________________________________

B's attack on Etrigan: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 201d8 ⇒ 3
C's attack on Iason: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 41d8 ⇒ 2

Slachagok charges the War Hounder thug in the nearest outer tower and drives his sword straight through the villain's heart!

Etrigan and Guido race side-by-side toward the dog, each trying to outdo the other. Between them, the poor chained animal drops unconscious and bleeding to the dirt.

Flinkae and Iason move cautiously eastwards.

Hearing the commotion, the two other War Hounders leave their towers and open fire on Etrigan and his master, Iason. One crossbow bolt slices into the demon's shoulder, drawing blood.

Etrigan takes 3 points of damage

MAP OF THE PYRAMID OF THE DOG

Anyone, go!

Flinkae moves towards the War Hounder in the east. As he comes abreast Guido and Etrigan, he casts a spell rapidly, and lets fly at the War Hounder.

Round 2
Status: HP 7/7,- AC 14/T: 12/FF: 12 - Perception +2 - F: +1/ R: +2/ W: +2 - CMB: +0 - CMD: 12, Speed: 30, Init. +2
Move: 5E, settle into cover from the tower
Standard: cast 'acid splash'; ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15, damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Guido revels in the ability to put the hurt on something that actually feels pain. (Though to be fair, probably not as much as Etrigan.) He continues around and plants his fist in the Warhounder's belly with a satisfying sound.

Moving SE,E,E,NE,NE. To just SE of Thug B.

Non-Lethal: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Yuck, good thing you can't fumble a natural waepon.

Flinkae evokes a blob of acidic goo and uses arcane force to hurl it through the air at his target. The War Hounder yells in surprise as it burns his skin, but is still able to handily block Guido's hasty punch.

MAP OF THE PYRAMID OF THE DOG

Slachagok, Iason, go!

I am so the man. *beats chest*

Iason scans the battlefield coolly, then walks at an unhurried pace north towards the thug that just shot at him. He draws his morningstar as he goes. 6 N.

"Cease this. Every arrow you fire at me means another bone broken before you die," he informs the thug, while his free hand sketches an arcane gesture.

Daze on Thug C, Will Save 13.

Etrigan, meanwhile, sticks his tongue out at Guido. "My kill. My meat! Find your own dog to eat," before he scampers off towards the man who just shot the bolt lodged in his shoulder.

3 E to thug B, then--

Claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Sounds like they have that pair under control, Slachagok thinks, listening to the sounds of whimpers and screams from the front side of the tower.

He peeks around the left side of the wall, following the path of the bolt that had just flown towards Iason.

"They got guts, I'll give 'em that."

He dashes around to the bowman, cornering the thug between the two ruined towers.

Slachagok hustles NW, Nx7, NE, ending N of Thug C.

War Hounder C's Will save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
War Hounder B's attack on Guido: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
War Hounder D's attack on Etrigan: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
War Hounder E's attack on Flinkae: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Nessian's attack on Flinkae: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

War Hounder E's damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Iason shocks the northern thug into inaction while Slachagok moves to block his reatreat. Etrigan spars with the eastern thug, but without result.

The eastern thug retreats a step, loads his crossbow and fires point-blank at Guido. The Varisian monk neatly sidesteps the blow.

Meanwhile, the door opens to the central tower and two War Hounders pile out with crossbows. Both fire from the hip. One quarrel strikes Flinkae in the thigh. Then, high above, a figure steps out onto the siege bridge that sticks out over the plain and roars "You curs won't live long enough to rue the day you challenged me!"

Nessian fires his composite longbow at Flinkae, but strikes only dirt.

Flinkae takes 2 points of damage

MAP OF THE PYRAMID OF THE DOG

Everyone, go!

"I suppose I may as well get my hands dirty," Iason sighs. NE 4 to flank WH C with Slach. He walks into a strategic position with their half-orc friend and swings with his morningstar.

Morningstar w/ flank: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 + 2 = 23
WHACK! Pow! Biff!: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Etrigan wheels around to flash an enormous toothy grin at the two newcomers to the fight. He lopes towards the man who just emerged from the tower and shot at Flinkae. NW, NW

Etrigan claw vs #D: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Probable miss, but damage if not: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Etrigan AC: 20. Etrigan HP: 13/16

Guido looks surprised as the bolt narrowly misses him. He glares at the Warhounder,"Now you're in for it."

5'Step
Flurry: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Flurry: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Non-Lethal: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Slachagok frowns as Iason's spell stupefies the cornered warhound. The half-orc had been looking forward to sparring with a foe who could react to his shouted taunts.

He shrugs. "Eh, best geddit over with."

Arcane Strike, attack C.

Attack vs. C: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7
Damage: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Or not. I blame Guido and his talk of fumbles.

Slach turns as Nessian's threat booms from the top of the tower.

"Second though, ye can finish this 'un off, in appreciation for that wand devilry." He yanks the axe free of the dirt, and dashes back towards the main melee.

Move SW, Sx5.

Iason jogs up to the dazed War Hounder and strikes him a solid blow with his morningstar. Meanwhile, the thug narrowly avoids Slachagok's devastating strike and seems surprised when the half-orc runs off.

Etrigan engages a new threat near the doorway.

Elsewhere, Guido leaps up to shoulder height and lashes out with a booted snap kick, striking his opponent squarely in the side of the head. The thug drops like a back street drunk.

[Flinkae, go!]

Flink?

Flinkae looks up at the crimelord in shock and freezes.

_____________________________________________________

D's attack on Etrigan: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
E's attack on Etrigan: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Nessian's attack on Flinkae: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
D's damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

The northern War Hounder regains his senses and, bleeding from Iason's morningstar, turns tail and runs away.

The other two gang up on Etrigan, wounding him slightly. Nessian fires down at Flinkae again, but the arrow slams into the dirt.

Etrigan takes 2 points of damage.

MAP OF THE PYRAMID OF THE DOG

Anyone, go!

Iason looks massively irritated at the fleeing man. He'd just as soon let him go-- he has better things to spend his time on-- but he has no guarantee the man is truly fleeing, and not preparing to double around on them.

Besides, he did promise the man broken bones for daring to shoot at him.

Move 4 NW, attack!

Morningstar: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Clearly, his irritation is distracting him to the point that he cannot mount a coordinated offense.

***

Etrigan licks at the blood running down his arm with a grin, his eyes burning coal red.

"You had your shot, you had your fun
"You've caused my hellish blood to run
"But now I finish what's begun
"And render your life's course undone."

Both claws strike at one of his foes, seeking to rend flesh from flesh, muscle from muscle.

Claw 1, vs E: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Claw 2, vs E: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

"Into the breach!"

Grapple: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Attacking D

Not sure what's going on with the movement. Flinkae seems to be charging into Etrigan's square?

Slachagok continues his sprint, rounding the ruined structure and coming back into view of the main clash. He looks up at Nessian, watching the group from his perch.

"If ye want to save us all th' trip," he shouts up at the gang leader, "ye can jus' jump now. Promise we'll try to catch ye."

S, S, SE, SE, SE; E, NE, NE, N into Thug E's former square. If Thug E isn't down, Slach will end SW of him instead. If anyone wants to retcon their move into either of those squares, just put Slach as close to the door as possible.

@slachagok - I was attempting to get to 'the other thug' from Etrigan - both D and E are standing there. Etrigan was taking E, so I directed to D.

Yeah, but 5N puts you in D's square, having somehow charged through Etrigan. Even 4N would put you in Etrigan's square. You can't charge "D" because Etrigan blocks the only straight-line movement, and E is dead before you arrive. I'm having Flinkae simply hustle north.

War Hounder D's AoO on Slachagok: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 - 2 = 171d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
War Hounder D's attack on Guido: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 - 2 = 111d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Iason chases the fleeing War Hounder, making great swooshing swings with his morningstar. Meanwhile, Etrigan eviscerates one of the two War Hounders before the gate, terrifying the other. Flinkae then runs up behind him.

Guido dashes around the combat and seizes the startled War Hounder by his belt and lapel. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Slachagok appears and dashes past Guido and the War Hounder. The thug makes him pay for this act of bravado by slashing at him with his "dog claws" and raking his stomach as the half-orc passes.

Unable to target anyone standing directly below him, Nessian disappears back into the tower. You can't see what he's up to. The grappled Warhounder slashes at Guido, but the monk neatly turns the blow. Iason's foe flees the field (and this story - he's gone).

MAP OF THE PYRAMID OF THE DOG

Anyone, go!

"Bah," Iason remarks to the fleeing man. Oh well. Later on, perhaps, he may set Etrigan to track him down. A reputation is a useful thing to have. For now he turns his attention to the situation at hand, wheeling around to run and rejoin the others.

Run action, 4x movement, so he just runs all the way to rejoin the others and will stop directly S of Etrigan.

Etrigan does.... what he so enjoys doing. His taloned hands seek out intestines and flesh once more, a pleased leer on his face for how scared the fellow is.

Claw 1, vs D: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Claw 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Claw 2 confirm crit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Crit Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 3) + 8 = 17

When Iason jogs up behind him, Etrigan turns a casual look over his shoulder from the man that he just horrifically disemboweled and asks him, "Master, what rhymes with Nessian?"

Whoops. Shoulda thought out that movement path a bit more.

Slachagok grunts with surprise as the grappled warhound slashes him, though Etrigan deprives the bard of reprisal a second later. The bard continues his dash up the stairs towards the top of the pyramid.

N, NE, N, NW, S (move), total defense (standard). 8/11 HP, 18 AC.

Run can only be in a straight line, so Iason can't quite catch up

Iason runs south as Etrigan slaughters the last War Hounder. Slachagok runs upstairs, only to be confronted by Nessian himself at the top of the stairs, now armed and armored with a shield and flail.

MAP OF THE PYRAMID OF THE DOG

Guido, Flinkae, go!

Ah, true. My bad.

Flinkae waves his kama about in some frustration, having all of his targets dispatched by Etrigan. But instead he takes a deep breath, and advances directly in pursuit of Nessian.

Round 5
Status: HP 5/7,- AC 14/T: 12/FF: 12 - Perception +2 - F: +1/ R: +2/ W: +2 - CMB: +0 - CMD: 12, Speed: 30, Init. +2
Move: NE, N, NE, N (up stairs), NW, ending (hopefully) in the tower
Standard: cast 'acid splash' at Nessian, if visible. Otherwise, cast 'corrosive touch' and prepare to swoop next round!
((acid splash ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5, damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2))

Flurry on the Warhounder which was so recently Grappled

Flurry: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Flurry: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Don't forget the -4 for firing into melee and the -4 for cover, Flink!

Guido, Etrigan killed that guy just now. You're holding a corpse.

Flinkae rushes up the stairs and hurls a gobbet of acid at the crime lord. It shoots over Slachagok's shoulder and sizzles on the wall.

[Guido, give me new orders!]

Go up the stairs and engage Nessian. Grapple if I don't have to double move.
Grapple: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

You need to take a look at the map, Guido. It would have been a double move, but more importantly, Nessian is blocking the stairs. There's no way past him without using Acrobatics to get past.

Nessian's Improved Feint: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Nessian's flail attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Nessian's flail damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Guido charges into the building after the others and is blocked on the stairs.

Even with Slachagok doing all he can to protect himself, Nessian brings his flail crashing down across the half-orc's battered leather hat, seriously injuring him.

MAP OF THE PYRAMID OF THE DOG

Slachagok took 6 points of damage

Anyone, go.

My hat! Are there any spots outside Nessian's threatened range to which Slach can take a 5-foot step?

Iason jogs up behind his pet demon, who is shlurping a bit of intestines off his fingers and looking exceedingly cheerful.

"Hold still, you're injured," the Chelaxan mutters, and touches the outsider with the wand.

"I'm eating."

"Not yet you're not. There's work to be done still."

Etrigan looks mournful, and stares down at the two humans at his feet.

"Later, Etrigan. Work before pleasure!"

The outsider sighs.

"Work, work, work-- and always, delayed, my pleasure...
"But for how long? The most important question!
"Someday I'll bide not in seeking out my treasure:
"Your beating heart, I'll take apart, as I hear your sins' confession...
"Tomorrow, perhaps. Today, I'll feast on Nessian."

And the monster turns to scramble after the others. Inside, Etrigan realizes the stairwell is very clogged. He starts to try and scamper up the wall, claws digging into the stone.

Iason move: 3 E, 2 NE. Infernal Healing on Etrigan.
Etrigan move: NW, N, NE, N (squeezing with Guido), then beginning to attempt to climb the inner side of the stairwell. If the stairwell wall is too steep for that, that's fine.

Ettie Climb: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Slachagok stumbles as the flail crashes into his head. Shaking the spots from his eyes, he moves away from the stairs and swings his axe at Nessian.

Arcane Strike, attack Nessian.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Damage: 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Slach will 5-foot step SE if he can, S otherwise.

The inner walls are perfect for Etrigan's climbing

Slach can't move SE (though he could move SW onto the table with a DC 5 Acrobatics check). He can squeeze south through the narrow gap, but because he is squeezing, I'm going to rule it triggers an AoO.

Guido, Flinkae, go! Slachagok, let me know if you want to move or not.

Thanks for the tip. If the SW table move doesn't provoke, he will do that.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 2 = 19

With the non-trivial chance that Slach goes down next turn, could he 5FS anywhere without provoking from his now-current position?

Round 6

I'm confused as to Fink's move, but I imagine the is room for me somewhere with a acrobatics check.

possibly_unneccesary_acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Guido moves in and tries to get a grip in Nessian.

Grapple: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Flinake is clearly trying to burrow out the fortress wall, but I think that'd be a sunder maneuver rather than acrobatics. Nice crit-grap, Guido.

With the non-trivial chance that Slach goes down next turn, could he 5FS anywhere without provoking from his now-current position?

The move to the table -was- your 5 foot step.

I assume that Flinkae means SW, not SE. Sadly, that's not a rail; it s wall. Also, Nessian is in a position in which he cannot be flanked.

To keep this thing moving, I'm going to interpret Flinkae's move to be "step up and chop" and Guido's to be "tumble through Flinkae's new location and the narrow gap between wall and table."

Nessian's Improved Feint (w/ grapple): 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 - 2 = 9
Nessian's attack on Guido (w/ grapple): 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 5 - 2 = 13
_____________________________________________________

Iason heals Etrigan, who then dashes into the tower and climbs the walls above Guido.

Slachagok stabs at Nessian, who blocks the shot with ease. The bard then leaps onto the nearby table, clearing some space at the top of the stairs. Flinkae lunges forward, nicking Nessian's exposed forewarm with his kama.

Guido leaps up, pushes off the northern wall and lands between Flinkae and Slachagok. Nessian is as startled by this as everyone else and stares with maw agape as Guido seizes his arms.

Roused, Nessian turns on Guido with fury. "Touch me and draw back a stump, you son of a b+@+@!" Yet his attack belies his words. In the close quarters combat, his flail has little room to swing and Guido is unharmed.

I meant during this round, if he was disable during Orc Ferocity. Thanks to Guido, there was no need to worry.

"I think that means he likes ye," Slach quips between ragged breaths.

He adjust his footing atop the table. Straining his bruised and battered form brings his axe down at the crime lord.

Attack as usual.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Damage: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

5-foot step S, if allowed on the table, to make room for Etrigan.

Sorry, realized my phrasing of 'inner wall' was ambiguous. I meant the stairwell wall closer to Nessian. If that wall would be unclimable then he's on this wall!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

Iason makes a much more sedate and less athletic way up the stairs. Double move to the square due E of Flinkae.

...and yes, y'all are absolutely correct that Flinkae was trying to flip over a railing that was, in fact, a wall; and that rather than attempting to hurl himself out of the tower...
