GM Valen's PFS 0-5 Mists of Mwangi (CORE)(PbP) (Inactive)

"Look, over there one of the Tik Tann!" he points.

"Try to get it with the dagger."

Coreguy steps into the room and hears Khellek's advice and nods to the old man affirmatively,"what do I do? stab the thing? smash it? directions please!!" he says as he moves through the mist towards the Tik Tann and draws the the dagger.

Double move, drawing the special dagger during the move.

"Stab it I guess..." suggests the historian.

"The oral tradition is a little light on the specifics." he rather meekly adds.

As the barrister races toward one of the Tik Taan, he feels a wave of fear lap up against him. However, his knightly training and faithful discipline have made him immune to such effects.

Atop the ziggurat, Nigel remains bound.

Kyra attacks the large monster ape with her scimitar again and delivers a fine blow.

If Kyra blow does not dispatch the ape, Travail will do the following:

If Kyra’s blow does dispatch the ape, Travail will do the following:

With a burst of flame, Kyra's scimitar slices into the large ape, but he continues to defy her.

@ Travail - Good news=the Tik Taan does not threaten; Bad news=17 does not overcome the large ape's CMD and thus it gets an AoO.

Seeing the human attempt to roll by it, the large ape attempts to squash the human with its fist!
Melee (claw): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 Damage (B): 1d4 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

The rogue pays for his effort with massive bruising and excruciating pain.

A payment that he returns in kind as he thrusts his rapier into the creature's furry hide, just missing the creature's vitals!
Crit not confirmed. : (

With the arrival of the strong tiger, the large ape, Da’Tunga, steps up and beats his chest in an apparent effort to prove his dominance over the other animal. 5 ft. step

Da'Tunga then tries to grab ahold of the big cat.
Melee (claw): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Melee (claw): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Melee (bite): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Wow, how much HP does this ape have!?

Lini directs her flaming sphere to follow after Da'Tunga, leaping up into the air and then dropping onto the ape's face! While the sphere moves, she jogs up the altar to get to the bound Nigel. She pulls out her sickle as she moves.

Flaming Sphere: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 2) = 8 DC15 Reflex negates

I'm assuming here that the ape is still up. If the flaming sphere finished it off, Lini would have given a command to attack the RED Tik Taan instead, in which case Droogami would only have a bite from her attacks below.

Droogami retaliates against the ape, trying to show exactly who of the two is the real master of tooth and claw! Her attacks are furious, but perhaps less accurate due to the wave of fear that has taken hold in her thoughts.

Bite: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 8 - 1 = 11
Bite damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Claw: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 - 1 = 25
Claw damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Claw: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 - 1 = 14
Claw damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

She snarls out victoriously as she continues to draw blood!

Da'Tunga, Reflex (DC 15): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

The ape deftly avoids the sphere of fire, as well as most of the cat's strikes. However, one of the cat's claws manages to rake its furry hide.

Feeling that the rogue is too close to it, one of the Tik Taan (red) sends attempts to drive Travail away with fear.
Travail, Will save with bane(DC 12): 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 3 - 1 = 14

However, the human is un-phased.

Realizing its attempt was unsuccessful, the Tik Taan (red) moves away. 5 ft. step (unless diminutive creatures cannot take them, anyone know?)

@ Travail - Good news=the Tik Taan does not threaten; Bad news=17 does not overcome the large ape's CMD and thus it gets an AoO.

@Valen: If the Tik Taan doesn't threaten, then my acrobatics roll would have been a 19, since I subtracted 2 from the roll from the double threat. Not sure if that makes a difference.

@ Travail - Da'Tunga has CMD 24 and >60 HP (Welcome to high tier!)

A tough fight for sure, but you are all doing rather well!

Khellek looks worriedly about the room. Fumbling a bolt into Bessie, he again fires at the massive ape.

attack,into melee: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 4 = 18
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

He pats his crossbow reassuringly. "Bessie here has saved more students than you would believe."

The mighty ape moves to dodge the scholar's bolt, but it just manages to catch the ape's shoulder.

Realizing that its fear magic had no affect on the approaching paladin and observing the hated blades in the Pathfinders' hands, one of the Tik Taan (green) decides to attempt to inflict madness in another manner.

It approaches Coreguy. Move action, enters Coreguy's square, provoking an AoO by Coreguy.

AOO with the jade dagger(kukri?): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 171d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

In the hands of the paladin, the tribal blade slices into the living idol as if it were merely soft, flesh. Still, the Tik Taan manages to bite the man, though it fails to inflict him with madness.

The paladin strikes again, further damaging the diminutive construct.
Yet, the plaything of the demonic lord Angazhan still stands.

Another of the Tik Taan (yellow) ventures closer to the rogue and tries to drive the human away from its fellow construct using fear.
Travail, Will save with bane(DC 12): 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 3 - 1 = 19

However, the rogue is undaunted.

The form of Nigel, affected by the mists, remains strapped atop the ziggurat.
Climbing the ziggurat to reach Nigel requires a successful Climb check (DC 12). Straps have Hardness 2 and 5 hp.

”You foul beast will end through my blade!!“ Kyra shouts.

Kyra attacks the large monster ape with her scimitar again.

Scimitar +1, DF: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 1 = 16
Damage, DF: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

The cleric's thrust is insufficient to puerce the ape's hide.

With the ape focused on Dragoomi, Travail stabs at the ape with his rapier, while slashing at him with his sword.

Attack, mkw rapier, flanking, twf, fear effect: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 - 1 - 2 = 18
Damage, Sneak Attack: 1d6 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (2, 6) = 13

Damage, Sneak Attack: 1d6 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (1, 2) = 6

Travail's sharp rapier fells the champion Da'Tunga with a well-placed strike. The large ape crashes down upon the marble floor. Does Travail carry through with the second strike with the sword? There is an off chance that it could have an effect.

(Either way...) The mighty Da'Tunga appears to be dying.

Climb the ziggurat: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (15) - 2 = 13

Despite her short, spindly arms not being very good for climbing, Lini manages to scramble up the ziggurat to get to Nigel. She eyes the bonds the hold him and weighs the sickle in her hand. They look a lot tougher than she expected. "Droogs, come up here. We've got a problem that claws can solve!" Free action for come trick

While Droogami makes her way over, Lini surveys the battlefield from her perch and redirects the flaming sphere to the yellow Tik Taan, hoping to immolate the idol before it can affect Travail again.

Flaming Sphere vs. Yellow: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 4) = 12 Reflex DC15 negates

Dragoomi bounds up the steps of the ziggurat, making her way to Lini's side.

Climb the ziggurat: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Tik Taan, yellow, Reflex (DC 15): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

The living idol avoids a fiery fate.

Upon seeing the ape champion fall, one of the Tik Taan (red) rushes to the side of the apparently dying ape.
Travail gets to take an attack of opportunity against the living idol as it runs by.

Khellek, realising his crossbow is probably not the most helpful thing here, quickly advances on the badly injured Travail.

"The Ulfen people regard the scars of battle as key to victory in their next. They take strength from their injuries and from their companions." he starts to lecture as he places a gentle hand on the warrior.
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Might as well have struck the ape twice, though I suppose I wouldn't have during normal game play.

Travail takes a stab at the tik taan as it gets close.

AoO, mwk rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

But gets a little distracted by the cool--and welcome--touch of healing that Khellik provides.

With the champion, Da'Tunga, having fallen, the Tik Taan look for opportunities to defeat these meddling foes. The one closest to the human with the hated blade (green) continues his physical attack.

Melee (bite) v. Coreguy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

attack with Jade Kukri: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 151d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

The paladin's swipe just misses the living idol.

Seeing the opportunity provided by the Pathfinders and his fellow living idol, one of the Tik Taan (yellow) makes a mad dash for the corpse of the once mighty, Da'Tunga.

@ Khellek & Kyra - You each get an opportunity attack against the Tik Taan(yellow) as it runs by.

Khellek looks on in frustration as the small idol dashes past him. For a moment he considers trying to strike it with the bolt that he finally managed to wriggle out of his quiver, but by the time he thinks of that, it is already past.

He does look on with interest at what it is doing.
spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

"Look out, he is trying to animate the dead ape! Stop him!" calls out the worried scholar.

Travail takes a step toward the pesky tik taan yellow, piercing and slashing and hoping his weapons work against the slippery creatures.

Attack, mwk rapier, flanking, twf, fear effect: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 - 1 - 2 = 12

Damage, DF: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

Crit confirm Scimitar +1, DF: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12

”I cannot defeat this monster! I have to bring support!“ Kyra shouts.

Kyra steps back and begins to cast a summoning spell!

5 ft step, 1 round action to cast 'summon monster II' to bring an earth elemental.

Kyra manages to whittle off a fair chunk of the living idol with her scimitar as it runs by.

Travail's strike with the short sword breaks off another small piece even as Khellek cries out.

Nevertheless, the Tik Taan is able to complete its plan for the Pathfinders.

And the mighty Da'Tunga now once again begins to rise--a powerful champion once more! Though it is no longer one of the living, but among the undead!

The court of savage primates howl and squeal, renewing their chant, like the rhythmic beating of a war drum! The marble room echoes with the sound.

*Da'Tunga*Da'Tunga*Da'Tunga*Da'Tunga*Da'Tunga*Da'Tunga*Da'Tunga*Da'Tunga*Da 'Tunga**Da'Tunga*Da'Tunga*Da'Tunga*Da'Tunga*Da'Tunga*Da'Tunga*

Melee (slam): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

With the Tik Taan clearly running the show, Lini sends the flaming sphere chasing after the yellow idol once again. "Stay still and burn you tricky little thing!"

Flaming sphere: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 3) = 9 Reflex DC 15 negates

Unable to do anything about the ropes herself, she mimes out biting and tearing at the ropes to Droogami, trying to push the leopard into action.

Handle Animal to push: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 4 = 16

But it seems Droogami doesn't understand her at all. She changes tactics and instead sends Droogami back into the fray with a quick attack command! "Nevermind Droogs! Attack that ape!" Free action for an attack trick

Droogami leaps off the ziggurat following Lini's urgent call to action. She snaps her jaws at the recently revived ape.

Bite: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 1 = 20
Bite damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

The Tik Taan attempts to avoid the sphere of fire.
Yellow, Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

But is unable to do so. Nevertheless, the surface of the living idol seems resistant to fire and burns less than actual wood...well, would.

The big cat's teeth rip into the undead ape, but they fail to bring the creature down.

Another Tik Taan (red) tries to cause the Pathfinder closest to it to flee. It then moves further among the apes, hoping to avoid detection.

As the tribal blade wielded by the paladin strikes the Tik Taan, it shatters to pieces.

A sudden quiet overtakes the room as the living idol is destroyed. The chanting and howling primates fall hushed as if now stunned, casting the room into a momentary, gloomy silence.

With the end of the other of its kind, another one of the Tik Taan (yellow) falls over, motionless. Now completely stationary, the idol lies inanimate, by all appearances a statuette as it once was before.

The mist-tainted Nigel snarls at Lini from his bonds.

However, his efforts to keep the ape occupied sprout success as the cleric slashes deeply into the creature and the summoned elemental slams the zombified beast hard.

Oh, wow. Alright, time for triage.

Seeing that Nigel is turning rabid and Travail has taken a critical blow, Lini circles around the ziggurat and hops down to ground level. She fumbles for a moment and then pulls out a wand of cure light wounds!

"Droogs! Keep it busy! We need to save Travail!" Attack trick vs. the ape. I don't think Droogami has much of a chance to pierce the hardness of the idols...

Now that I'm writing out this post, we really need to take the remaining two idols down first. Because if we don't, they'll just animate the ape again. Droogami's damage per hit is dreadful, so unfortunately she won't be able to contribute.

Droogami attacks fiercely, jaws and claws tearing at the undead flesh of the ape!

Bite: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 1 = 20
Bite damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Hey, that might work!

It did!

The big cat's teeth tear into undead flesh, though its claws have no effect. The cat's strength is sufficient to bring the undead ape to the ground!
