GM Tektite's PFS #06-09 By Way of Bloodcove (Inactive)

Game Master Hawkwen Agricola

I had thought I could put the line right in the middle and hit both. If not, I'll hit the man and his dog. That's so mean of me.

Obyrn pulls out his longspear and stabs the guard in front of him.

[dice=Spear @ Green FF]d20 + 7
[dice=Damage]d8 + 4 + 3d6

"Surprise!"

He then steps five feet back.

I almost completely forgot -- Obyrn has the Aspis Hunter vanity from the Field Guide. If the guards are wearing any obvious Aspis insignia, please add +1 to the attack and damage.

Sry folks ive got an outage starting this week so my post rate will be low for a few weeks..

Lillian speeds her crew up by casting Haste!

Obryn reacts quickly, stabbing the man next to him with a spear!

Tessara steps past Velidor and casts a spell, sending a bolt of lightning arcing through the dog and a guard!

G: 1d20 ⇒ 19
D: 1d20 ⇒ 13

The dog and man quickly leap away from the arc, avoiding much of the damage

Velidor steps back in front of Tess, and readies an attack!

Lillian casts a spell, hastening some of her companion's movements. Obryn is more than 30' away from the front of the group, so you'll have to omit him.

The leader gives the dog a kick and orders it to attack, while he moves up and sneers at Velidor. "Your going to regret messin' round here!"

Intimidate vs Velidor DC 18: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 Looks like Velidor is shaken for 3 rounds

Bite vs Velidor: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Trip: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

The dog then rushes forward biting Velidor, but unable to pull the man to the ground! Velidor can roll his ready.

Initiative:
Lillian
Obryn
Tessara

Guard Dog
Velidor
Jaysin
Guards
Sure

Jaysin is up!

Velidor will take a 5ft step back diagonally and shoots at the dog...
Musket vs touch: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 17...DMG: 1d12 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 = 14

Velidor fires as the dog comes rushing in, putting a bullet into it! The dog nearly collapses from the wound, but is able to continue and make its bite!

Jaysin grumbles after being called out, even if it was a gambit. He then sends three arrows at the leader! I'm assuming the pog that looks like the guy I use for my own Faldoc is the leader? He doesn't have a color around him.

Bow, Rapid Shot, PBS, Deadly Aim and Haste: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 for Arrow: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Bow, Rapid Shot, PBS, Deadly Aim and Haste: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 for Arrow: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Bow, Rapid Shot, PBS, Deadly Aim and Haste: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 for Arrow: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Confirm?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24 for Arrow: 2d8 + 22 ⇒ (1, 7) + 22 = 30

Your crit would be +22 damage not 11..

Confusing my game systems again. In 5e you don't. Corrected and Thanks.

Yes, the evil leader is Faldoc!

Jaysin's first two arrows deflect of the leader's armor, but the third arrow finds its mark, sinking deep into the man's side!

Note: I fogrgot about the lightning damage, so Velidor's shoot took dog the dog.

Attack vs Tessara: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Attack vs Tessara: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

The two guards near the leader moves up and fire crossbows at Tessara, but only one lands a hit!

Acrobatics: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Attack vs Obryn: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

The guard near Obryn tries to dart under the spear and slashes at the man! Provoking, I would say.

Initiative:
Lillian
Obryn

Guards
Sure

Everyone, but Jaysin is up!

Fires a trio a magic missiles at the leader..

MM: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2, 3) + 3 = 10

Velidor shoots at the guard in front of the leader...Musket1 vs touch: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 11...DMG: 1d12 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8...Musket2 vs touch: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 16...DMG: 1d12 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10... and then takes a 5 ft step back

Sure casts barkskin on Ilivan and sends the bird to get behind evil Faldoc! Sure then draws his scimitar as he moves up to the guards.

bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Ilivan's AC is now 29 for the next hour.

Obyrn lashes out with his longspear as the green-hatted guard makes a clumsy attempt to close distance.

Longspear (AoO) @ Green: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 CRIT THREAT
Confirm: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Normal Dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Additional Dmg if Crit: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (7, 8) + 8 = 23

Holding my actions until I see the result of the AoO. Add +1 to attack and damage if he has any Aspis insignia on him.

Lillian pelts the leader with missiles of force!

Velidor puts two shots into a guard!

Sure casts a spell on his bird, then sends the bird to attack. Ilivan snaps at the man, but misses!

Obryn stabs the man as he approaches, but the man still stands!

Tessara and Obryn

Alrighty then. HP 43/49.

Grunting from the cut, Obyrn retreats back a step. He thrusts his spear at the man's face, dipping the point down to his groin at the last second.

Feint (Move Action w/Improved Feint): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29 Succeeds if that beats 10+BAB+Wisdom Mod (or 10+Sense Motive, if higher). Target is flat-footed against my next attack if successful.
Longspear @ Green (Standard Action): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 vs FF if feint succeeded
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Sneak Damage (if FF): 3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 2) = 10

Sorry Obryn...He has Step up

As Obryn retreats, the man moves with, staying in the rogue's face!

That is unfortunate! Surprised to find himself in a jam, Obyrn drops his longspear and pulls out his regular spear, feinting at the man's ugly, ugly facial features!

Feint roll remains the same; if you want me to use the same attack roll for next round, it's a 19 instead of a 20 and damage is 11 rather than 12 (sneak stays the same).

Tess casts Ear Piercing Scream at the boss.

Damage 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6

DC 16 Fort for half damage and avoid a Daze effect.

Obryn finds himself without room to manuever, but acting quickly, drops his longer spear for a shorter spear! Jabbing at the man's tender spots, Obryn puts the man back on his heels!

1d20 ⇒ 11

Tessara screams at the leader, but he shakes it off!

Attack vs Sure: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Damage: 1d12 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18

Attack vs Sure: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Damage: 1d12 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20

With a roar, the leader step up and swings his axe at Sure!

Oh geez! Sorry Sure...

Confirm 1 vs Sure: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
Damage: 2d12 + 32 ⇒ (3, 3) + 32 = 38

Confrim 2 vs Sure: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Damage: 2d12 + 32 ⇒ (5, 6) + 32 = 43

It looks like the first one would have dropped Sure, so the leader wouldn't have swung the second time. By my calculation, Sure takes 56 damage, is at -11 hp, with 12 Con.

Guards
Sure

Jaysin and Velidor are up!

should be Velidor's last round of being shaken I believe
Seeing the leader take down the Sylph, Velidor shoots at the leader...I keep forgetting haste bonuses, attacks vs touch AC

Musket1: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 24...DMG1: 1d12 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 15
Musket2: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 28...DMG2: 1d12 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 13
Musket Poss Crit: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 9does not crit...
MusketHaste: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 14...DMGHaste: 1d12 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 10

if any of his shots drop the leader then Velidor will switch targets to one of the guards

Jaysin steps up 5' and send over three more arrows to evil Faldoc!

Bow: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28 for Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Bow: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24 for Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Bow: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27 for Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Since Velidor and Jaysin are the only two before Sure and neither of them had the ability to heal him, Sure will have to roll to stabilize I guess.

"Yaaa-uugghhhhhh!" Sure drops to the ground, near death.

does he die?: 1d20 + 1 - 11 ⇒ (11) + 1 - 11 = 1

To the absolute horror of his pet bird Ilivan, Sure succumbs to his wounds and bleeds out.

It only seems fair after how many characters of yours I've killed recently.

I'll take Ilivan's actions after the guards to their thing.

Velidor fires his musket multiple time, dropping the leader with his first shot. He then puts two more bullets in the southern guard!

Jaysin fires three arrows, dropping the southern guard and nearly dropping the northern one!

Attack vs Jaysin: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Attack vs Obryn: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Crit Confirm vs Obryn: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Crit Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

The guards attack Jaysin and Obryn, both landing slashes against the men.

Obryn returns the strike, spearing his opponent and taking him down!

Party up sans Obryn!

I think I still have a move action left; correct me if I'm wrong! His current foe vanquished, Obyrn hustles over to the rest of the fight.

Yep, you would have one.

Jaysin steps back and fires three more! If this guy has Step Up I'll eat the AoO I guess.

Bow: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25 for Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Bow: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24 for Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
Bow: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25 for Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Im holding off as I expect that last barrage from Jaysin finished the fight. If not, I'll use a Slumber hex on the remaining opponent.

As his master drops, a moment of silence descends on the battlefield as Ilivan flaps in midair, staring in disbelief. Then again, he always stares because, you know, he's a bird. Ilivan lets out a horrific screech and goes medieval on the ass of any foe left standing.

bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

talon: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

talon: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Confirm:
talon: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Lillian missiles the remaining guard.

Dam: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4, 3) + 3 = 12

AoO vs Jaysin: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Jaysin steps backs, but the guard follows. Dodging a slash from the man, Jaysin peppers the man's face with arrows, dropping him!

Out of Combat

Save your spells

Jaysin retrieves his arrows, including the ones that were lodged in the man's face. Never do that again! You don't know if he is talking to the now dead guard or Obryn.

Assuming someone will oblige, Jaysin offers his wand of healing to someone to use on the sylph, no yet realizing he is dead. When he learns of his fate, Jaysin will suddenly seem much more somber that usual. We need to take care of this. Now. Jaysin will carry the corpse to wherever it is needed and help pay for the necessarily spells.

Jaysin will then ask to be healed of his seemingly superficial wounds before the party departs.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Looks like I can spare 1000gp for what is required. Jaysin would insist you take his money first.

"With all due respect to the dead, we have to get the sabatoges done now, while we are here. There might not be another chance. After this is done, we can get him taken care of," Tess barks as she still plans on setting that fire in the warehouse.

"I'd expect that to happen, if any of us suffered Sure's fate."

Velidor checks the dead enemies for anything remotely useful to complete the mission......maybe a sudden raise dead scroll tucked away in some pocket...

Velidor does not find any scrolls for raising the dead, but on the guards he finds an oil of magic weapon, potion of shield of faith breastplate, light crossbow with 10 bolts, sap, scimitar, and a cloak of resistance +1 on each man.

On the leader you find, a potion of bear’s endurance, +1 half-plate, +1 greataxe, mwk throwing axes (2), cloak of resistance +1, and 16 gp

"You strong guys should get a look at this armor and these weapons. There's some nifty stuff on these buggers."

Ilivsn squawks and follows Jaysin.

Obyrn retrieves his dropped weapon before rejoining the group. When he sees Súrë bleeding all over the ground, he lets out a particularly colorful and imaginative string of curses in several languages. After several moments of this, he calms down a bit and look sadly over the sylph.

"Gods be damned, how did this happen? I bet it was this bugger," he says, kicking not-Faldoc. "Well, we'd better get him taken care of, but agreed--Aspis first."

I'll take one of the cloaks and any of the potions/oils unless somebody else wants 'em. I'll also ask somebody for a few hits from my wand.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Obyrn clambers aboard a couple of the boats and makes a few choice cuts and snips. Disable Device (Take 10): 10 + 18 = 28

Then he'll hop off and go to different boats and poke holes below the waterline.

Longspear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Longspear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Longspear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Longspear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Longspear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Longspear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Longspear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Longspear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Longspear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Longspear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Longspear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Finally, the half-elf rifles through the dead sylph's pockets. Súrë, how much gold do you have on you? Look's like we're about 1800 shy right now. Also, you can bet your ass we're using that 16gp not-Faldoc was carrying.

Tess grabs the flasks of alchemskt's Fire and takes them in the warehouse, using her Burning Hands spell to start a very nice fire located near the products.

Lol im totally not rolling nough dice on my MM.. I forgot i leveled to 7 doh.. Oh well.

Lillian goes with Tess and helps set fires.. Using some alchemist fires and a scorching ray!

In Sure's pockets you find 11894 gp and 5 sp. I was saving up for a wild enchantment on my armor now that I can wild shape.

Velidor grabs the MW throwing Axes. "Here is a potion of something. Is it useful?"
Velidor does not have spellcraft.

Lol. I guess we're covered then. :) Obyrn leaps back in surprise as a veritable avalanche of gold comes pouring of of the sylph's pockets and packet. Looking around and hoping no one noticed or heard, he begins rapidly shoveling the gold back into Súrë's backpack portable hole.

GM, do we have a sense that our sabotage has been effective, now that the warehouse is on fire, some boats are sabotaged, and others are sinking?

if the sabotage is complete, the Velidor will heft Sure's body over his shoulder until the party reaches a safe place.

Quickly mourning overs their fallen companion, the party sets to work, sabotaging the warehouse. Yeah, you've done it.

Now what?

You have one more lead to follow up on, visiting Novaria of House Cartahegn. Bloodcove is a small city with a population of +5000

is there no cleric in these parts high enough to raise dead?

No, I don't think so--you usually need a 'large city' for 5th level spells. Although the PFSGtOP has some weird stuff to say on that:

"Anyone got a handy haversack?" Obyrn asks. "We've got two things left to do here, visit the Trading Houses and interview the people of Bloodcove. Neither gets easier when you're carrying a body around."

If not will we need Gentle Repose?

I don't have a haversack unfortunately. Maybe we can pay for a casting of Gentle Repose while we finish up our work here.

Okay, no haversack then.

"Hmm, I guess the best thing to do would be to stash the body until we can get out of here. There's that place where we got the mission report..."

Obyrn leads Velidor and the party down a series of side-alleys back to the cellar where they got the scroll tube, trying to be as discreet as possible.

Kn Local: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

Once there, he opens up the cellar again so Velidor can drop in Súrë's body. Then he goes and buys himself a change of clothes and shaves his head and face with his whetted dagger. "Alright, let's pay a visit to the House of Cartahgen."
