GM Tektite's PFS #05-05 The Elven Entanglement (Inactive)

Game Master Hawkwen Agricola

I misunderstood you Amira, I thought you were just "readying" the ring, not activating it. So then one of the images was hit and diappeared.

Samhain spins around and puts and arrows through two of the small demons, that he is unable to recognize, putting them down.

Buho diver bombs the last mini-demon, causing it to be shaken!

Glaurung casts a spell, but can't penetrate the demons resistance.

1d20 ⇒ 8

Meanwhile, her familiar springs to life and cast a spell, but the hezrou shakes off the effect.

I forgot too Glaurung, just keep the spell for later.

Gannus Fort: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

Gannus throws his shoulder into the demon, and just manages to knock the creature down! 37 was the magic number!

He then stabs the demon with his blade.

Hawthorne blinks and appears on the other side of the demon.

Amira flies up and heals Glaurung.

The prone hezrou curses and a wave of foul/blasphemous energy bursts forth. Provoking from Gannus

I need Fort Saves from Gannus, Hawthorne, Samhain and Amira. I need Will Saves from everyone.

Will!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Hm, now that it's prone I have a chance of hitting it. . . debating flying into melee but I'll wait and see what this save does to me.

Will Nye: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

So, there goes my strength again for a little bit, unless context clues betray me.

fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 (+2 if enchantment)
Something tells me I'm not going to like this...

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Fort save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
Will save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15 (+2 vs. enchantments)

Which probably fails. This should be fun...

AOO: 1d20 + 21 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 21 + 4 = 32

1d6 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Fort: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Gannus takes advantage of the demon casting the spell, cutting it with his blade.

2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6 Temp Str damage for 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7 Rounds

Feeling the wave of foul energy overcome them, everyone is dazed and weakened! Amira falls to the ground unconscious! How high were you Amira?

Everyone is dazed for one round and the STR damage for 7 rounds.

Attack vs Hawthorne: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (1) + 23 = 24
Damage: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (3, 6) + 16 = 25

Attack vs Hawthorne: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19
Damage: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (5, 2) + 16 = 23

Attack vs Hawthorne: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
Damage: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (4, 1) + 16 = 21

The demon attacks Hawthorne, but is only able to hit once.

Leech Attack vs Gannus: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

The giant leech attacks Gannus, and two leech swarms appear, one swarming Gannus!

2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11

Gannus Fort vs DC 15: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
DEX Drain: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Attack vs Samahain: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

The last quasit tries to attack Samahian, but misses!

Party up!

MAP

Sorry for the delay guys.

Gannus grunts as his strength is ripped from him. He steps out of the mass of leeches and weakly strikes the demon again.

Str Penalty: 1d20 + 21 - 3 ⇒ (11) + 21 - 3 = 29

1d6 + 11 - 3 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 3 = 11

Str Penalty: 1d20 + 16 - 3 ⇒ (10) + 16 - 3 = 23

1d6 + 11 - 3 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 3 = 11

Gannus manages to slice into the prone demon once with his blade!

Also, I forgot he was prone, so that last attack misses Hawthorne.

Manyshot w/ Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
Cold Iron: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (7, 1) + 8 = 16

Iterative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Cold Iron: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Then Buho, still harrying the little demon, tries to distract it from his master.

Distract: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
On a hit, target is shaken.

So many 1's...

Samhain floats back and puts a single arrow into the minidemon, while Buho bombdives, but misses.

Never mind about melee, hehe.

Glaurung casts a spell on Amira, hoping to bring her back to consciousness. Bull's Strength for +4 enhancement to Str

I had the two I got from the satyr. And I think I still have 2 rounds of greater in is from the Decoy Ring, hilariously enough.

Align your weapons if you can! Hawthorne shouts hoarsely, as he wavers from the weakness washing over him. Must do what I can, he thinks.

Hawthorne five-foots to his right, then full attacks the demon with everything he has left.
Power Attack w/Furious Focus

atk 1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
dmg 1: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

atk 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
dmg 2: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

I'm not sure that's enough even with the beastie prone. Ugh.

Amira is Greater Invis'd for 2 more rounds, though there's some images Glau could buff and pop, do ho ho.

Ha, I forgot about your ring going off. Since Glaurung can't see her (or at least tell which one is real), she'll instead shoot some magic missiles at the demon.

SR: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 2 = 16
force damage: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 1, 2) + 5 = 18

Hawthorne manages to hit the prone demon once, cutting into it's flesh.

Amira drops to the ground, her position vaguely indentified by the splash in the bog.

Glaurung casts another spell, but once again, can't penetrate the demon's resistance.

The demon stands up quickly and attacks Hawthorne.

Attack: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (8) + 23 = 31
Damage: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (4, 6) + 16 = 26
Grab: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (12) + 24 = 36

The creature's harpoon jams into Hawthorne and sticks as the demon pulls him into it's grasp. Grappled!

The quasit flies over to a chrysalis and begins trying to cut it down!

2d3 - 2 ⇒ (1, 3) - 2 = 2

The leech attacks Gannus once again!

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

AoO's for Gannus and Hawthorne!

Party up!

MAP

AOO: 1d20 + 18 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 18 + 4 = 29

1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Gannus continues striking out hoping to drop his massive foe.

1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38

Confirming: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21

1d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

Confirming: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

1d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

AoO: 1d20 + 13 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 13 + 4 = 26
still prone
AoO dmg: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Hawthorne then activates his unfettered shirt to gain the effects of a freedom of movement spell for 10 minutes. First time I've gotten to use that! w00t!

I don't think I get to choose what square I get released into anymore since grappling doesn't change your location, right? If not, Hawthorne will five-foot west of the demon in an effort to get opposite Gannus.

Grappling moves you adjacent, not a "merged square" thing (barring swallow whole.) So you don't move from where you broke.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Thanks, Amira. So then he'll five-foot from adjacent to where he's able to use his glaive again.

Seeing the boys handling the demon, Glaurung tries to prevent the quasit from cutting down what she can only assume are their elven friends.

+2 longspear power attack, enlarged, bull's strength: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 18
damage: 1d8 + 6 + 6 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 6 + 1 + 3 = 23

Edit: I keep forgetting I have a familiar:

aid attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Edit #2: whoops. I accidentally inserted the familiar's aid above my spear attack and shifted the numbers down. Fixed to reflect my original roll so that nothing's changed. Probably doesn't hit anyways.

Amira may vary well be drowning somewhere around here, invisibly for another round.

Amira may vary well be drowning somewhere around here, invisibly for another round.

-Posted with Wayfinder

It's shallow bog where she fell. GM fiat, she fell face up, the water only comes up to her ears, though she is smelling? tasty to the leech swarm.

This assumes that Glaurung hasn't already killed the small demon thing. If she did, all shots go to the big bad beasty.

Angered at this tiny thingummywhatsit, Samhain drops a few more arrows at it.

Manyshot w/ Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 1 = 22
Regular Arrow: 2d8 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1, 7) + 8 + 1 = 17

Iterative: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 = 18
Regular Arrow: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12
Favored enemy Evil Outsider, +2 per arrow if applicable. Also, Clustered Shots again, so arrows add before taking away any DR

Samhain sends Buho to do a swooping charge on the big demon from above.
So the bird flies as high up as it can, readying to dive bomb.

Gannus slice the demon as he stands up, then cuts it twice more!

Hawthorne manages to hit the demon before it stands up and skewers him, though Hawthorne is able to magically evades it's embrace!

Amira lays unconscious and unseen it the mire!

Glaurung spears the last quasit, tossing it's body into the bog!

Samhain fires a multitude of arrows at the demon, but they all miss! He directs his owl to ready a divebomb!

Leech Attack vs Gannus: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Leech Attack vs Hawthorne: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Leech Attack vs Samhain: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

The leeches try to attack various members of the party, but all fail in their efforts!

Harpoon Attack vs Hawthorne: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (7) + 23 = 30
Damage: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (6, 1) + 16 = 23

Harpoon Attack vs Gannus: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24
Damage: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (1, 2) + 16 = 19

Harpoon Attack vs Gannus: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
Damage: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (1, 1) + 16 = 18

The hezrou attacks Gannus and Hawthorne, stabbing each of them once!

Party up!

MAP

Then the even-easier-to-hit Amira becomes visible!

Gannus keeps swinging.

Str Penalty: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24

1d6 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Str Penalty: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25

1d6 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Amira becomes visible!

Gannus misses with both swings of his blade!

I believe I start this turn 15 ft off the ground.

Samhain flies 30 ft up over the demon a little before firing an aimed shot at the demon.

Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 2 = 25
Cold Iron: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14
Favored enemy factored in

Then the owl dives down against the demon!

Swooping Charge!: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 31
2d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 3 + 2 = 13
Fishing for a crit...

Seeing that the cleric is visible once again, Glaurung will now cast Bull's Strength on Amira to help her stand up.

Forgot you were off the ground, Sam. 28 is the number we're looking for, does the owl hit stun as well or just damage this time?

Yes, it is staggered for 1 round on a hit. Sorry, forgot about that bit, haha.

Samhain fires arrows at the demon, but they miss narrowly!

Buho, on the otherhand, reaches the apex of his climb, wheels over, folding his wings in. The owl rockets downward through the air, gaining high velocity as he throws out his talons at the last moment, tearing into the demon. Firhalz staggers back from the tremendous hit!

Glaurung casts a spell on the now visible Amira!

Hawthorne!

Hawthorne will five-foot and full attack, using Power Attack and Furious Focus.

atk 1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
dmg 1: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

atk 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
dmg 2: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Hawthorne swings his glaive and opens up another gash on the demon.

Attack vs Gannus: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (13) + 23 = 36
Damage: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (1, 5) + 16 = 22

The staggered demon strikes out at Gannus, stabbing him with the wicked harpoon.

Party up!

MAP

This is when the player remembers about spells...

Samhain flies 15 more feet above the demon (60 feet total), telling Buho to do that again. He then casts a "Aspect of the Falcon" on himself.

Buho, meanwhile, withdraws from the beast straight up 80 feet.

Glaurung once again sends missiles against the demon!

SR: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

force damage: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 4, 2) + 5 = 17

Gannus keeps fighting despite the pain of the harpoon that was just jabbed into him.

1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26

1d6 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

1d6 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Confirming: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25

Lather, rinse, repeat.
Full attack with Power Attack and Furious Focus.

atk 1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
dmg 1: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

atk 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
dmg 2: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

5ft prone Fly north and channel!

Channel: 7d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 5, 5, 4, 3, 6) = 28 to all non-demons.

Samhain flies up higher, casting a spell while his owl flies even higher!

Glaurung sends more missiles at the hezrou, but can't penetrate it's resistance.

Gannus attacks again, hitting once.

Hawthorne attacks again, missing both times!

Amira flies north and channels healing energy to the party!

Claw Attack vs Gannus: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 40
Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
Grab: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

Claw Attack vs Gannus: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (2) + 22 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Grab: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

The hezrou drops his harpoon and attacks with his claws, trying to grab his opponents. He manages to rakes his claws down Hawthorne and Gannus, but is unable to grab them!

Party up!

MAP

One of these days:

Magic Missiles!

SR: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 2 = 29

force damage: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 4, 4) + 5 = 17

Glaurung concentrates really hard this time and hits the hezrou with her arcane missiles!

Samhain casts a spell to increase his projectile count. Abundant Ammunition

As he does so, Buho goes whooshing past him in a charge to stagger the demon.

Swooping Charge!: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 30
2d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 3 + 2 = 10
Staggered on a hit

Samhain multiplies his arrows!

Buho wheels over again and plummets through the sky like a comet! At the last moment, his wings unfurl and his talons rip into the demon, causing it to stagger back again!

Staggered helps keep more of us alive! LOL

Repeat the lather, rinse, repeat. ;-)
Full attack with Power Attack and Furious Focus.

atk 1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
dmg 1: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

atk 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
dmg 2: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Sigh. More ones than a table of First Steps.

Staggered helps keep more of us alive! LOL

It's about all my owl can do with this bloke, and every other round at that. But at least it's something! Sadly the archer needs one more round to buff before it's a rain of arrows. Sorry I forgot to sooner. I always forget he has spells!

I know what you mean. I keep thinking, I need to buy wands of gravity bow and lead blades for Hawthorne, but never seem to remember just before heading out. And then there's always something I'd rather do with that standard action anyway.

Gravity Bow is being cast next turn, hopefully will be able to hit with it! And hopefully everyone's still up once I get to that point =\ Hang in there, guys!
