Game Master Tarondor

Violet rapier v. Tavrosiel: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 151d6 ⇒ 2

Violet moves up and stabs at the elf with her rapier, but he dances aside. Meanwhile, Jerrik retrieves his bow and Dalgron finally punches his prisoner into unconsciousness.

"Dathnien!" yells the male elf, furious. "Die, human!" he says, moving away from Violet, drawing a wand and firing it at Dalgron.

MAP

Violet, Jerrik and Dalgron, go!

Dalgron winces slightly as the force missile impacts him, but laughs at the weak attempt to harm him. "Who you callin' a human, elf?!" He rushes five feet south and attempts to seize the man in his hands.

Imp. Grapple: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Jerrik fires an arrow at the man!

Bow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 for Arrow: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Dalgron successfully grapples with the male elf, finding him solid despite his ghostly appearance. Jerrik's arrow flies wide by several inches, as does Violet's attempt to run the elf through.

Seeing himself beaten, the elf relaxes and says "I yield! Yield!"

Violet rapier: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 111d6 ⇒ 1

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

I'm calling it. Combat Over.

Ok, you yield! Good! So, what's with all the shenanigans, huh? Ghosts? Really? Come clean while you can. Jerrik will then see what the man has to say in his defense.

Dalgron releases the man from his grasp and pushes him to the ground, his foot planted firmly on his chest. "WHAT did you think you were doing? You nearly killed my friends, jerk! Who do you work for?!"

"Nobody got seriously hurt. On your side anyway! We were just following orders to keep people away from the fort. And you'd still be better off staying away. You don't know what kind of killer you're provoking!"

"Killer? Who is this killer, you speak of, elf? And who do you work for? Tell me, or get pummeled."

Intimidate, do I get some kind of bonus given the circumstances?: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (15) - 2 = 13

Sure.

"Okay, okay. We were paid by the Aspis Consortium. I don't know much about her, but her name is Cetenna. She's big and powerful and I've seen her beat men half to death with her own hands. She's the boss. I don't really know anything else about her."

As Zhatara recovers from the spell she shoots a murderous look at the male elf:"So... What do you think we should do with you? You've got much to answer for and we can't certainly trust you..." she says maliciously.

Seriously we can't trust them. Does anyone have any rope to bind them?

Jerrik doesn't have any rope to use. I don't know, since he was willing to give us such important information that could be enough to give this guy a second lease on life. If not... kill him now.

Bluff: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

He can't tell you what he doesn't know. That's all you get out of him.

Dalgron pulls a rope from his pack and ties the agent up. "Aspis, eh?" He spits onto the ground.

"I don't care how powerful your boss is, we'll handle it. Right, guys?" He pulls the rope tightly around the agent's ankles and hands. "I hope you enjoy lying helplessly in these ruins. Not to worry, we'll take you back to the proper authorities when we're finished here."

I'm for moving on to the next area at this point.

Zhatara follows the dwarf taking care of staying a few paces behind him.

Tekkannan slowly comes round.

"Maaaan, all the pretty lights" is all he can say at the moment.

Ashwait and Violet Red stay up on the surface guarding the prisoners while Zhatara, Tekkanan, Jerrik and Dalgron descend into the depth.

Stone steps lead up from the north corner of this small room. An open archway leads south, while a second archway leading west is obstructed by rubble and mud.

Trouble in Tamran, Table "A", Map of Fort Urssos.

Dalgron tries to move lightly and take a peek around the corner to the south.
Stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Zhatara stands behind Dalgorn but not before implanting another of her mind tricks

As before she implanted false flanker

Don't you have to implant in someone specific, Zhatara?

This room was once used as a storage room. Water drips slowly from a leak in the roof in the northwest corner, forming a muddy puddle on the floor. Human and animal tracks cover the floor.

Survival: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Dalgron carefully examines the ground. "Hmm, seems we've got animal prints here, belonging to badgers and weasels of varying sizes. Sounds like we won't leave this place hungry," he says with a grin on his face.

He then heads down the narrow corridor ahead and has a peek into the first entrance to his left.

Stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Oh yes, delicious indeed. Jerrik will follow, leading his ears and eyes to scout the area as he moves forward as quietly as he can.

Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

There are many doorways, investigating one, you find hastily constructed bunks line the south wall of the small barracks. Mold covers the walls, and the stench of decay is thick in the air. Open archways on the east and west ends of the room lead north.

A look of disgust on his face as the decay assaults his senses, Dalgron says, "This place is too... Empty for comfort. Be ready for anything."

He then moves across the hallway to the larger room north of him as quietly as he can.

Stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Yes, Zhatara implanted the trick on Dalgron, as for the rest of her actions she follows behind the others

Rubble and debris block the eastern half of this room, while sparsely filled weapon and armor racks line the remaining intact walls.

There is a pretty strong animal smell coming from the west.

Trouble in Tamran Table "A", Fort Ursoss

Dalgron has a look at the weapon and armor racks.

Anything of value here?

Not really. The racks bear several sets of armor marked with the Crimson Kestrel insignia and a small selection of weapons. It contains 3 suits of studded leather armor, 3 handaxes, and 3 longbows.

"Alright, friends. Let's make for that smelly room, then?" The dwarf says as he shuffles towards the room to the west.

If anyone played Zurnzal in Serpent's Rise, now is your last chance to tell me.

Rolled up straw mats lie in a pile against the western wall of this room, leaving the damp earthen floor exposed. The walls appear freshly cleaned, though they are still speckled with stray flecks of moss and mold. Open cages line the southern wall of the room, and the air is rich with the smell of recently shifted earth. Archways lead to the north and to the east.

IMAGE OF CETENNA

A powerfully-built woman stands in the room. She has a strange, feral look to her, as if she incorporated many aspects of a savage beast into her very being. She spits on the floor at your feet and cracks her knuckles. “Welcome, Pathfinders. I take it you aren’t interested in surrendering without a fight?”

She doesn't wait for an answer.

Jerrik Payne

The woman leaps forward, snarling fiercely, and attacks Dalgron.

Trip Attempt: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 = 19

Dalgron nimbly leaps back, avoiding the snarling woman's attack.

Then a snarling badger erupts from the ground behind the party and furiously attacks Jerrik, savaging his ankles!

Bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 211d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 111d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 71d3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Everyone, go!

I am playing him now but we're still going at the moment. Does that count?

A badger? Down boy! Down! Jerrik tries to stab the creature with his rapier, seeing that he does not have room for his preferred weapon, the shortbow.

Cold Iron Rapier: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 for Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

"Hmph, ya think yer gonna trip ME? Foolish woman!" Dalgron unleashes a pair of haymakers in her face.

Imp U. strike, false flanker?: 1d20 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) - 1 + 2 = 211d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Just that kinda day :)

Jerrik: No. You have to have the chronicle before this game starts.

Dalgron...DAY-UM! You know, I've been reading about how many groups Cetenna mauls. It doesn't look like that's going to happen here!

Jerrik's rapier flashes out and nicks the angry badger. Meanwhile, Dalgron steps inside Cetenna's burly reach and slams his fists into face.

Tekkanan, Zhatara, go!

Trouble in Tamran Table "A", Fort Ursoss

Luck's on our side today! I was concerned about getting mauled as well. I haven't GMed this scenario before but this dungeon seemed too empty to not have some badass BBEG at the end, and we've only got four PCs.
I think the total damage (unless she has DR?) should be 22, however? (8+5+3+6)

Tekkannan races around the outside of the room, attempting to get into a flanking position with the bruiser dwarf, drawing his blade as his goes. He ends his run with a powerful lunge at the feral woman

=Shortsword, Flanking: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8

which totally fails to connect. He looks crestfallen. "People said you smelled of the swamp." he taunts the woman. "I think they were being polite."

Zhatara moves away a few paces from the fighting before unleashinga torrent of wildly colored lights on the feral woman!

Casting Color Spray... what else?

DC?

DC 16

Cetenna Will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Cetenna blocks Tekannan's attack with brutal ease, then laughs off Zhatara's spell as well. "Well, at least one of you doesn't hit like a girl," she says, wiping blood from her nose. She then offers a powerful snap kick to Dalgron's head that rocks the dwarf back a half step and bloodies his own nose.

"Let's dance," she hisses.

Unarmed Strike vs. Dalgron: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 = 161d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Trip attempt vs. Jerrik: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Claw vs. Jerrik: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 191d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Claw vs. Jerrik: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 221d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Meanwhile, the mad badger continues to savage poor Jerrik. All around the fight, ordinary weasels and badgers snap and snarl harmlessly.

Anyone, go!

I'm down -13, not -12.

Jerrik doesn't like the situation he finds himself in. He drops his rapier and backs up a step, retrieving his bow as he does!

Bow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 for Arrow: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Dalgron grimaces in pain from the feral woman's hard punch, then tries to return a finishing blow.

Imp. Unarmed strike: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Reroll with my PC folio
Imp. Unarmed strike: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

As Cetenna lands, Dalgron spins low under her reach, sweeping her leg from under her. As she lands on the ground, the dwarf falls on her like a mountain rockslide, slamming his elbow into her trachea. She gurgles once, twice and lays still.

Jerrik's attack on the badger seems only to make the furious mammal even angrier.

Zhatara, Tekkannan, go!

Zhatara is nonplussed by the results of her spell but that doesn't prevent her from trying again...

Cast color spray again this time applying hypnotic stare (-2 to will saves). DC is still 16

Who are you spraying? Cetenna is down.

Oh? My bad. The badger then

Okay. In order to get the badger and not Jerrik, Zhatara will have to move adjacent to the badger and then cast. Do you want me to take an AoO or would you like to cast defensively?

Tekkannan looks nonplussed at the savage little animal, and the fuss it is causing. "Can't you just sweep it out with a broom?"

Concentration check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

I guess you can take your AoO...

No, it's one or the other. If you choose to cast defensively, then I don't get an AoO.

Unable to concentrate because of the threatening badger, Zhatara's spell fizzles.

Tekkannan, go!

Pass.

Trip attempt vs. Zhatara: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Claw vs. Zhatara and prone: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 4 = 231d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Claw vs. Zhatara and prone: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 4 = 161d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Gyrlak the badger, driven even more furious by the death of his mistress, drags Zhatara off her feet and bloodies her badly!
