GM Tektite's PFS #33 Assault on the Kingdom Impossible (Inactive)

Game Master Hawkwen Agricola

Do we have clear line of fire to any of the men at the moment (perhaps with a 5' step)?

Itra and Roland do not, Rikas and Linnea do though.

Rikas stands his ground and looks for any incoming arrows he can dodge out of the way of.

Total defense, +6 dodge bonus to AC

So if Itra were to 5' step toward the upper-right (NW), would he just have cover or would she still not be able to fire at him at all?

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to make sure I understand. :)

Ah, well. I had Roland in front (west) of you. I'll switch that and then you can five foot and fire at the one southeast of you.

Hurray! Where am I 5' stepping? :P

Itra steps slightly away from the wall and angles an arrow toward the guard she can see most clearly.

Arrowed!!! (vs FF?): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Damage?: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Itra steps into the gap of the wall and fires an arrow. It flies high, then hits the walkway, skitters across the top of the wall, and stops at the archer's boot.

Sorry was flying and driving today for business conference. My posts will be in the evening most of this week..

Roland will move to take as clear of a shot as he can...on the southern guard.

longbow,Pb : 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 = 21 damage : 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12

Linnea wanders around the southern corner of the compound and gets a good look at the guard on the southern wall. She cries out to her companions, "These guys are just waiting to be made into pincushions. Stick 'em with your arrows!"

Begin bardic performance: Inspire Courage. +1 competence bonus on attack and damage rolls. +1 morale bonus on saves vs. fear effects.

Roland steps backward and fires an arrow in a high arc over the wall. It traces a lofty trajectory and manages to hit a archer, even with the cover of the wall! The man goes down!

Rikas stands his ground, watching for arrows!

Linnea steps into the gap and begins to inspire her allies!

Attack vs Linnea: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Attack vs Linnea: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Attack vs Rikas: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Crit Confirm vs Rikas: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Crit Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 1) + 4 = 6

The men start moving toward the party and fire their bows. One arrow strikes Linnea, while a second manages to hit the defensive Rikas!

Party up!

Itra moves farther inside, firing an arrow at the westmost man on the wall. (That's the top guy.)

Arrow!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Arrow!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Rikas runs for the cover of the keep, tending the slight graze the bastard managed to give him.

Crit magnet, this character...

Dang, I need to stop assuming that North is up on all the maps.

Linnea draws her bow casually despite wincing from the pain of being shot, and takes aim at the guard standing above the gap that she had just tried to sneak through.

"C'mon down and play with us!" she taunts him.

Composite Longbow Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 = 11

Well, not much I can do with that roll. Don't forget the bonuses for 'inspire courage' everyone. 9/11 rounds remaining.

Oh, I'd forgotten 'em... +1 to att/damage, DM.

Roland will silently double shoot archer on broken wall.

bow, rapid, pb, bard : 1d20 + 7 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 7 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 27 for 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 7

bow, rapid, pb, bard : 1d20 + 7 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 21 for 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 8

Roland will silently double shoot archer on broken wall.

[Dice=bow, rapid, pb, bard ]1d20+7-2+1+1 for [dice= ]1d8+3+1+1

Nice crit

Itra fires an arrow, hitting the archer on the west wall!

Rikas ducks and runs for cover!

Linnea fires an arrow, but misjudges and sends the arrow flying over the wall!

1d20 ⇒ 13
2d8 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9

Roland fire two arrows in quick succession, hitting an archer twice! One arrow goes in then back out of the archer as he tumbles off the wall!

Attack vs Itra: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Attack vs Roland: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

The two remaining archers fire at the party members who seem to have proficiency with ranged weapons. Both men put well-placed shots into Itra and Roland!

Party up!

"Ow!" cries Itra, cursing the archer and trying to steady her bow for another shot. As it too goes wide, she grunts in frustration and moves around the building.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Linnea backs up a few feet and fires another arrow at the archer on the eastern wall. She tries to concentrate on making the shot as opposed to cracking wise, so she cuts out the jokes.

However, her teammates will still feel the effects of her inspiring words.

Lingering performance - 2 more rounds of inspire courage/

Bow Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13

Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8

Character Folio Re-roll Bow Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 1 = 22

Rikas heads up the ladder, double-moving to the top of it.

"Ouch. Guess I deserved Zhat Afterall ."

Roland ducks behind the wall to tap himself with a wand...almost healing the gash from the arrow.

clw : 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Itra fires another arrow, but it goes sailing high and wide!

Linnea fires an arrow and hits the eastern archer.

Rikas climbs the ladder!

Roland heals himself!

Attack vs Itra: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Attack vs Linnea: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

The remaining archers fire, but the shots go wide!

Party up!

Linnea draws another arrow and fires once again at the eastern guard.

Longbow + Insp. Courage: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 = 24

Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8

She shouts at the guard, "We'll make a pincushion out of you yet!" She then turns her head and cries out, "Hey Roland, you're missing all the fun!"

Linnea's arrow punches into the eastern archer and he falls off the wall, clutching his wounds!

As Linnea fells the one by Rikas, he walks over and looks at her, "I had that one!" He continues moving around the battlements and, with a bit of a start, tries to jump across the gap.

Acrobatics to jump: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

He grins as he nears the lone archer.

Linnea shrugs her shoulders and says to Rikas with a grin, "Too slow, Joe!"

Itra dodges the guard's next shot and fires off yet another of her own, her shoulder still smarting from where it took the last hit, but her gritted teeth holding her aim steady.

Attack (inspire): 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 1 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6
Attack (inspire): 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 = 18
Extra Damage: 2d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 5) + 4 + 2 = 15

There we go, dice! Was that so hard?

"Nice shooting, Itra!"

Rikas glares at Linnea then moves to the last target, leaping the gap in the wall. He easily makes the jump, only to have Itra drop the man with her arrows!

Out of Combat

Same gears as the bandits: handaxe, leather armor, composite shortbow (Str +2) with 20 17-ish arrows

Itra pulls a wand from her belt pouch and begins shaking it around as if she's seen someone do this before. After holding it a few different ways and speaking a few different words, there's finally a small burst of energy and the arrow-wound in her shoulder closes.

UMD: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
UMD: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
UMD: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
UMD: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
UMD: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
UMD: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
UMD: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
UMD: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
I think I wore out the dice with that crit. :P

UMD: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Hurray!!

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Linnea will grab enough arrows to bring her quiver back up to 20 and then offer the rest to Itra.

"Roland! C'mon out! We've killed the bad men. Are you hurt bad? I've got something for that!" With a flick of her wrist, Linnea's wand of cure light wounds appears in her hand.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

She taps herself with the wand and the arrow wound that she had endured closes up like magic.

"Roland, do you need any more healing?" Linnea turns to her other companions, "How about you Itra? Rikas? Looks like you took a couple of shots..."

If you want healing, just roll the CLW and I'll deduct it from my wand.

Edit: Ninja'd. Itra, if you want, I can use your wand, so you don't have to depend on UMD. Unless it fits your roleplaying, of course.

Once everyone has healed, it would seem the only way to go is into an open courtyard in the center. The wayfinder points that way as well.

Itra blinks at the ease with which the woman activates the healing, then shakes her head with a wry grin. "I think I'm okay, thanks... just had to convince this accursed thing to give up its energies... shopkeeper sold me a broken wand. Works fine for anyone but me..."

No objection to your using her wand from now on, but I'll leave that one as-is and just say you came around the building to give her the arrows right as she was getting it to work.

Since he's up here, Rikas tosses any worthwhile gear that the party wants to them below before nimbly hopping down the battlement.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

He walks over to Itra, producing his wand again. "A lucky shot. Damn, this was my favourite jacket, too..."

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"Good as new. Again."

"A lucky shot. Damn, this was my favourite jacket, too..."

Hey! I know that line....

I wondered...

Rikas will check out the ruined building in the center of the walls more closely this time. If nothing sticks out, he'll ready to head down the stairs. He'll even volunteer to go first and be all sneaky-like.

Linnea walks around to the eastern side of the courtyard and spots an opening in the central structure.

"We've got some stairs in here."

She looks around carefully inside the structure.

Take 20 for 26?

Itra puts her "borrowed" bow away and draws her close-quarters weapon, proceeding into the courtyard and looking around carefully as well. Take 10 to aid Linnea.

2d20 ⇒ (6, 12) = 18

Moving into the open courtyard, the party sees that this open courtyard is paved with flagstones and relatively free of debris. Statues ring the central open area, each depicting a tiger-headed man in a martial arts stance. Behind the statues are four sets of stairs. The stairs to the north descend into darkness, and the stairs on the south side once led upward, but have collapsed in a heap.

Linnea and Itra notice that two of the three statues on the northeast corner are actually men. The men snap out of what appears to be meditation as Linnea enters the courtyard!

Initiative:
Rikas
Monks
Roland
Linnea
Itra

Rikas!

Rikas steps in, shouts, "Street performers!" and reacts as any rational person would in that instance; throws a dagger.

Dagger throw!: 1d20 + 7 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 - 2 + 1 = 23
1d4 + 1 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + (3) = 7

Rikas moves into the courtyard and sends a knife into one of the monks, nearly dropping him where he stands. Topmost monk?

The injured monk lets out a roar, reminiscent of a tiger's roar!

Intimidate!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 I believe that will Intimidate everyone.

Hearing the roar, everyone quavers and feels a little shaken!

Attack vs Rikas: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

The other monk moves over and throws a punch at Rikas, but the tiefling dodges the blow!

Everyone up!

Hey Linnea, gerroutamaway! :P

Linnea, though clearly upset by the ferocity of the monk's roar, tries to lighten the mood a bit.

"Woah! Bad kitty! No milk for you! Let's all get these kitties purring!"

She steps behind Rikas and draws her whip.

Bardic Performance: Inspire Courage. It will partly counteract being shaken. +1 to Attacks and Damage. +1 to saves vs. fear effects.

Oh, right, top one. Why not? Will hold off on attacking until everyone else goes.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Itra chuckles and shakes her head at the bad joke, though she still eyes the man by the wall a bit warily. Deciding to focus on the task at hand, she hurries forward and tries to thump the fellow attacking Rikas.

Attack (shaken, inspire): 1d20 + 4 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 - 2 + 1 = 12
Attack (shaken, inspire): 1d20 + 4 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 - 2 + 1 = 14
Damage?: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Linnia steps up, drawing her whip and inspires her companions!

Itra moves up and swings at the monk, nut misses by mere inches!

Roland and Rikas!

Roland Attack vs the one near Rikas: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 1 - 2 + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 14

Roland moves into the courtyard and puts in arrow into the monk near Rikas, dropping the monk in his tracks!

Rikas! FINISH HIM!

Drawing another dagger, Rikas throws it at the man, knowing he won't be able to hit anywhere vital not that the man is aware of their presence.

+1 PB Shot +1 Inspire -2 shaken -2 range
Dagger: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 8
1d4 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4

Rikas - I just noticed, but as a 3rd level knifemaster rogue, isn't your Sneak Attack damage 2d8?

*gasp!* You're right! I got too engrossed in which feat to take that I forgot about that bonus! Thank you!
