GM Tektite's PFS #06-12 Scions of the Sky Key- On Sharrowsmith's Trail (Inactive)

Game Master Hawkwen Agricola

Sifvery fires another arrow, but misses!

Nivik launches a ray of fire, hitting the lead man.

Antonella starts(?) summoning a bird! Is it a full round summons? Or some class abilit allowing a standard summons?

@Fahd: I haven't moved you on the map. I'm moving in front of the lead guy.

Fahd punches twice, landing a single blow against the man burned by Nivik!

Chochok fires his musket, but just misses the woman!

Grim!

Full round, boss!

Sounds good, DM.

Grim is up!

Grim delays, not sure who or what to attack. Maybe moving forward???

Attack vs Fahd: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Daamge: 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Attack vs Fahd: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Attack vs Fahd: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The three humans step up and attack Fahd, but only one manages to land a blow!

Party up!

Acro: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Nivik moves forward and uses Fire Jet!: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 20' line of fire, Reflex DC 15 for half damage.

Sifvery steps up to the bridge and casts a spell, causing the floor under most of the goods to become greasy.

Reflex save vx DC 14 or fall prone.

1d20 ⇒ 17
1d20 ⇒ 3

Nivik moves closer and sends a jet of fire over the woman. She manages to duck, but is still burnt! The man behind her doesn't see it coming and takes the full brunt of the fire!

2d20 ⇒ (13, 2) = 15
1d20 ⇒ 19

Sifvery casts another spell, but only the man in front of Fahd slips, falling to the ground!

Chochok, Antonella, Grim

Grim moves 20' closer to the enemies and activates his Inspiring Word, granting allies +2 morale bonus to attacks for 1 minute.

Fahd will kick at the fallen enemy, trying to break his ribs.

Blessed, Inspired, Power flurry attack w mutagen 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 2 + 7 = 17
Damage 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Blessed, Inspired, Power flurry attack w mutagen 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 + 7 = 14
Damage 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

ALLIES get a +2 to hit for 1 minute, or 10 rounds..

Bless is up! 3/10 ; AC = 23 vs. target of smite

The kite flies 40’ from the position Antonella summoned it and attacks the female Aspis agent with its beak.

bite + bless + inspiring: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 21
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Antonella calls down a smite on the female Aspis, cartwheels one-and-a-half times across the bridge 30’ (beneath the kite) and tries to deliver a Stunning Kick under her chin.

Improved Unarmed + bless + Grim + smite: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 17
damage + smite: 1d3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 = 5

Stunning Fist DC 16 Fortitude. A defender who fails this saving throw is stunned for 1 round (until just before your next turn). A stunned character drops everything held, can't take actions, loses any Dexterity bonus to AC, and takes a –2 penalty to AC.

But … I reckon she missed.

"Go get 'em." Chochok offers by way of encouragement as he reloads and fires past his allies at the Aspis.

+1 musket: 1d20 + 8 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 3 - 4 = 13
damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Grim moves closer and and gives an inspiring word!

Fahd lands a solid kick on the downed man, stopping his movements, then turns and punches the other man!

Antonlla finishes a spell and a bird appears, flying toward the woman and clawing her!

1d20 ⇒ 14

Antonella then shows off as she cartwheels across the bridge and kicks the woman in the chin! The woman is taken by surprise, but shakes her head and shakes off the blow!

Chochok fires his musket, putting a bullet in the woman! She grabs her side, and notices two blood stains on her armor, as the grippli's first shot apparently did hit! Not sure what stat I was looking at, but the first hit as well.

1d20 ⇒ 2

The leopard tries to move forward and attack Fahd, but slip and falls to ground, legs splayed out!

Attack vs Antonella: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Damage: 1d12 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

The woman snarls and swings at Luisila, but misses!

Attack vs Fahd: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Attack vs Fahd: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Confirm vs Fahd: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Extra Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 6 = 9

The man swings two axes, landing his first one and burying it into Fahd's shoulder!

Party up!

fahd was beaten pretty badly by this point, but attacking was all he could think to do for the time. After attacking he takes a 5' move backwards to stand side by side with the paladin.

Blessed, Inspired, Power flurry attack w mutagen 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 1 + 2 + 7 = 21
Damage 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Damage 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Bless 4/10 ; AC = 23 vs. target of smite, AC = 20 vs. rest

@Fahd, I’ve moved you 5’ to the NW.

The Brahimy Iroriy kite tries hovering to attack the woman again.

Fly vs DC 15: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

bite + bless + inspiring: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 9
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

talon #1 + bless + inspiring: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 21
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

talon #2 + bless + inspiring: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 25
damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Antonella casually flips sideways from forelegs to hindlegs, five foot step fluff 5’ to the south.

She responds calmly to the unarmed fighter’s courage, “Fahd, fall back to heal if you wish. You’ve done more than your fair share.”

Before delivering the ol’ ONE-TWO punch and losing it in the face of the slayer of Isgeri women and children. “IT’S ME YOU WANT, LILIANNA!”

ONE! + bless + inspiring + smite: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 18
Lethal + smite: 1d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8

TWO! + bless + inspiring + smite: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 21
Lethal + smite: 1d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 = 9

“Grim, I’ve left you a spot, beneath the bird. Watch out for any presents it may drop on you!”

Sifvery fires another arrow at the cat.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Nivik steps up and casts Color Spray in hopes that it might slow down the woman and the man on the left side of the bridge! Its the only spell I have left, might as well see if it affects one of them. DC 15 Will.

Fahd punches twice, taking down the man, while Antonella and her kite take down the woman!

With a well-placed arrow, Sifvery finishes off the cat!

As the enemy drops, you can her voices coming from outside the doors!

You have two rounds of prep time before the voices get to the room.

A quick search of the bodies turns up two potions of bull's strength, five potions of cure light wounds, two potions of hide from animals, a potion of lesser restoration, a potion of protection from good, as well as about 375 gp, and some mundane weapons and armor.

Grim moves to the front and uses another blessing. His sword starts to glow green, white, or yellow-gold. For the next minute it will do an additional 1d6 damage to evil things. Its treated as good aligned as well.

Inspire 8/10, Holy Strike 9/10

"Could anyone heal me? I've got a wand and I'd gladly pay you back, if so."

By the time I get my wand out of my pack, there will be no time to heal me, I don't think.

Chochok shakes his head as he loads some powder into his firearm. "Not trained in magical healing. I can set a splint but that's not what yer needin' right now."

bless 6/10 (+1 to hit ALL) ; AC = 20 ; Grim's inspiring word 4/10 used (+2 to hit ALL) ; bull's strength +2 to damage for 30 rounds. ☤ I think everyone is at FULL HEALTH. Fahd was down 18 but has been healed for 19 ☤

Antonella bows to the heavenly kite before it returns to the Master of Master’s Realm on Axis.

“My thanks, sister. Before you depart, know the one you hover above – Nivik Klist, master of magic – would appreciate a physical sign of the Iro-shu’s assessment of his journey to date along the path to enlightenment.”

The bird dumps a gooey white ‘gift from above’ on the wizard’s shoulder before dissolving into a fiery halo which blazes above the elf’s brow.

“Fahd, why don't you drink one the CLW potions?”

CLW potion: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Antonella places a potion of bull’s strength in Grim hands, before drinking the other one herself. The paladin nods her appreciation to the tall elven woman. “Thank-you, Sifvery.” Before turning to the party’s melee warriors.

“I have yet to cast my enlarge person person spell. Fahd, would you like it?”

Ah, OK Fahd. Antonella attacks using her wisdom modifier, but strength still impacts her damage. So if you can’t use it, she might as well I suppose??

"Fahd, come to me!" Sifvery delays until Fahd comes, then uses her own wand to cast a CLW on him.

CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

For the second round, she will cast Truestrike on herself, in preparation for whatever is coming through the door.

Bulls strength won't stack with my mutagen, I don't think.

Fahd quickly moves to the cleric as he was in quite a need for healing. If he was handed a potion of CLW he would drink that as well.

As everyone prepares, the voices get louder, then three men appear and dart up the stairs. "Get them." The apparent leader says.

Party up!

Sifvery fires at the first one.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 20 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 20 = 40
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

bless 7/10 (+1 to hit ALL) ; AC = 20 ; Grim's inspiring word 5/10 used (+2 to hit ALL) ; bull's strength +2 to damage for 28 rounds. ☤

“Nice shot, Sif!”

Antonella bows once to her opponents. “Antonella. Welcome to Ashkurhall. Do any of you know Grim Krieger?”

Antonella advances 10’ as her fist lashes out at the leading man’s groin. “This move is called, ‘Possum pluck the peaches!’”

Unarmed Strike + bless + inspired: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 12
damage + bull’s strength: 1d3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6

Fahd readies an action to attack the first combatant that enters melee with him.

Nivik's Mage Armor protects the wizard from the gift from above (or so he hopes). With a grunt and a grimace he says Save it for the enemy. He then seems to smile, maybe.

I still have Color Spray I assume? If so I'll step up and use it here.

Grim moves up and activates his sacred weapon as a swift before attacking the leader..

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Dam: 2d8 + 12 + 1d6 ⇒ (7, 3) + 12 + (5) = 27 extra 1d6 is if he's evil

Sifvery fires a single arrow, hitting the nearest thug!

Nivik sprays the men with a rainbow, blinding and stunning all three!

1d4 ⇒ 1

Antonella moves and plucks the peaches, dropping the man!

Grim lays into the leader, dealing a grievous wound and dropping him!

3d20 ⇒ (5, 12, 7) = 24

Chochok easily moves up and puts a bullet in the last, stunned, and blinded man, dropping him!

Out of Combat!

With Zaril Namoth and his Aspis Consortium expedition thwarted, the Golden Guardian and kobolds assist the party in clearing the collapsed corridor of rubble. There you uncover the remains of Venture-Captain Nieford Sharrowsmith, which are badly damaged but identifiable thanks to his crushed wayfinder and other belongings. The kobolds allow theparty to extract the body and its possessions in peace, but afterward the small humanoids make it clear that the party has overstayed their welcome and should leave.

When the party returns to Nantambu, a portion of the SKy Key in hand, Aya Allahe is there to receive you. She listens to the recounting of the mission, and when she learns of Sharrowsmith’s death, she nods sadly and voices her thanks.

“Nantambu will not be the same without my friend Nieford Sharrowsmith. When he was younger, he traveled to all corners of the Mwangi Expanse and truly made the region his home, despite having been born hundreds of miles away in Avistan. He never truly lost his adventuring spirit, and as this lodge grew, he found his hours dedicated more and more to paperwork and less and less to exploring the lands’ rich history. I know his soul would take no offense at my saying he died as he would have wished—active, engaged, and in the field. I take solace in being able to provide him proper funerary rites." She smiles sadly.

“With his passing, Sharrowsmith’s Exports has no venture captain, but I have corresponded with Nieford’s colleague Ambrus Valsin and agreed to act as the temporary manager of the lodge. After all, the full extent of the Pathfinders’ involvement in Nantambu has remained a something of an open secret, and it would be an embarrassment for anyone but a friend or family member to take command of the business so soon after the owner’s death.” A tear falls down her cheek as she moves to embrace each of you.

“I dearly appreciate what you have done for the Society, for your venture-captain, and for me.”

And that concludes #6-16 The Golden Guardian, and the Sky Key trilogy! Thank you all for playing, and I apologize for sometimes sporadic posting. This summer has been busy. I hope you all enjoyed it!

If you haven't already, please post Day Jobs in the Discussion thread. I will get this reported and chronicles sent out today. (hopefully). Pending Day Jobs, everyone got 1 XP, 2PP, and 1910 gp (1209 gp Out of Tier).

"Well, I reckon that'll be a tale for the Chronicles, eh? Ayup. Good thing we've got you around, Aya, to keep this place running. Speaking freely, I hope they just up and make you a Venture-Captain one of these days."

Chochok throws his musket over his shoulder and hitches his belt up. He tips his Stetson to everyone in the room and sighs, "Well, I best be hittin' the ol' dusty trail. I'll be seeing y'all around, I'm sure of that much."

Woo! Thanks, GM! It was a fun set. Chochok has some module credit sitting on him so he'll jump to level 7 now! Horizon Walker!

Excellent! Nivik is slowing moving up. Maybe if he were more social he'd get invited more often...

Wow! Thanks, GM - everyone, really - that was a fun run! An interesting group of characters.
