Gameday 4: Feast of Ravenmoor [PFS credit] (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

Correct.

AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 161d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 101d100 ⇒ 59
A miss, thankfully for Artoria.

With the creature out of her reach, Aryn temporarily lets go of her greatsword with one hand and casts a healing spell on herself.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Aryn places her free hand back on her greatsword and moves up next to Artoria.

Faceless Stalker, round 4

The creature moves away, provoking from Artoria and Aryn.
Artoria's aim is good, but the growth is tampering with the hit. Aryn's strike is unhindered, but dodged by the creature.
While moving, it grabs for a potion, which it drinks.
-------
Artoria moves in, provoking a missed hit, but cutting corn herself as well.
Uthred
Aryn (posted actions) & Sarephta Go ahead posting in advance

Now that it is safe to get up Uthred stands up grabs his weapon and tells the others "Do not chase it. Let it come out of the growth for us!"

"Agreed!" Sarephta nods. "If it is healing, let us do likewise while it licks its wounds. We won't be unprepared next time it comes!" she adds.

She heals any of the injured with her wand.

Who needs healing? Not sure how many rounds we have before it comes back, but here goes...

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 First on Uthred for sure...
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Oh, i'd say until you guys say you've had enough and fall back.
As to your wondering how many rounds...it could be fleeing, but it could bite you in the rear later on, who knows.

Uthred grabs his weapon again and stands up. WhileAryn heals herself a bit, so does Sarephta heal Uthre for 3.
---------------------
Stalker, round 5

Acro vs AoO Artoria: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
The stalker makes a few nimble steps to get away from Artoria and Aryn, before pausing, looking at them, as much as you can tell from something without a face.

Artoria & Uthred
Aryn & Sarephta

"I have to help Artoria, she's still adjacent to it!"

Aryn crosses the five feet to the creature and swings her greatsword at it, determined to help Artoria.

Cold Iron Greatsword, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 8 - 1 = 13 Damage: 2d6 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 6) + 6 + 3 = 20
Miss chance, high is good: 1d100 ⇒ 92

Artoria resets her stance, this time feinting high and swinging low.

30% Miss Chance (high is good for me): 1d100 ⇒ 78
Attack with MW cold iron longsword (power attack w/furious focus, guidance): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 = 25
Damage (2h power attack): 1d8 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 3 = 9

The creature strikes at a moving Artoria.

Sickle, feinted: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25Dmg, SA: 1d6 + 5 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 5 + (5, 1) = 151d100 ⇒ 57
The slice comes in hard, before Artoria hits the Faceless Stalker.
Uthred

Aryn (Posted actions) & Sarephta

Uthred moves with shield out to a better spot in case the creature follows the two ladies out of the thickets to try and surround him in the open.
"Retreat if you can! Let him come out here where we can surround him!"

With Uthred's pleas of safety falling on deaf ears' Aryn moves up.
AoO, cover: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 8 - 4 = 6

The attack misses by a great deal, but Aryn's own attack isn't hitting either.
"HISSSSS"

Sarephta

Sarephta makes her way into the hedge with the others, but finds too many branches and briers to successfully hit the enemy.

+1 Longspear Attack (power attack): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Sarephta also dismisses Uthred's pleas for tactical advantage.
Who said only men are stubborn?
-----------------------------

Faceless Stalker, round 7

The creature ignores Sarephta, but seems to want to take distance from Artoria and Aryn, as it experienced they hit the hardest.
Acro vs AoO Artoria: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 Pass
Acro vs AoO Aryn: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 Provokes

AoO Aryn: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14Dmg: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (4, 6) + 9 = 191d100 ⇒ 80
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Her attack misses the creature tumbling away, only for it to stop ahead, holding its main arm with the other.
-----------

Artoria & Uthred
Aryn & Sarephta

Artoria shouts back to Uthred while never taking her eyes off the faceless creature.

"And allow him to slink around and attack us elsewhere? We must strike him down now!"

Artoria advances, knowing full well she will be attacked once more.

30% Miss Chance (high is good): 1d100 ⇒ 78
Attack with MW CI Longsword (power attack w/furious focus, guidance): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 = 25
Damage (2h power attack): 1d8 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 3 = 14

AoO, feinted sickle: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22Slash: 1d6 + 5 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 5 + (6, 1) = 16
1d100 ⇒ 35
Ouch :/

Artoria rushes in, taking a vicious cut that sprays blood upon the corn around her. She hits the creature in return however.
"GrrrHISSSS!"

Uthred
Aryn & Sarephta

"Sarephta, can you heal Artoria?" Aryn asks while moving toward the faceless stalker and swinging her greatsword again.

Cold Iron Greatsword, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 1 = 15 Damage: 2d6 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 4) + 6 + 3 = 18
Miss chance, high is good: 1d100 ⇒ 33

This is tarting to become a bad habit... I hope the next one will finally hit.

"BAH! Women!" Uthred blurts out and then moves to outflank their foe and entering the brush.

With the group closing in, the faceless stalker isn't in the mood for many on 1. As Aryn moves closer, its arm flashes for her feet.

AoO trip, trip weapon, cover?: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 2 - 4 = 19Hit?: 1d100 ⇒ 82

By the skin on the teeth.
Aryn's approach is 'cut short', as her feet are tucked away from underneath her.

Sarephta

Sareptha taps Artoria with her wand.

"Finish it off!" she exclaims.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Faceless Stalker, round 5

With even more closing in, the creature makes a withdraw action.
---------
Artoria & Uthred
Aryn & Sarephta

Seeing the creature move past him Uthred fights through the vegetation and hacks away at the foe..
DWA: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12...DMG: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
miss chance high: 1d100 ⇒ 35

worse luck on rolls this scenario

AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25Slashy: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 91d100 ⇒ 19
The sickle comes dangerously close to Uthred's face, thankfully a corn cob was hit instead.

Artoria
Aryn & Sarephta

See, this isn't so bad, you guys are doing fine. :)

Aryn gets back on her feet and moves after the creature, but she cannot reach it yet.

Saves you another trip. ;)

Artoria
Aryn (posted actions) & Sarephta

Seeing how wounded she is, Artoria pauses for a moment to heal herself.

She taps herself twice, once using her paladin powers and once using her oracle magic.

Lay on Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

You've gotta be kidding me -_-

Artoria heals herself and Aryn closes in.

Sarephta, work some magic with that spear! :)

Our rolling has been awful.

Sarephta still cannot successfully attack the creature through the brambles.

+1 Longspear Attack (power attack): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Sarephta skewers a baby stirge, flying by.
-----------------

Faceless stalker, round 6

The stalker lashes at Uthred.
Sickle: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23Dmg: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d100 ⇒ 40
Hitting him for 8, poor man. It then tries to take more distance.
Acro vs AoO Uthred: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 Provokes

Uthred strike!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23Dmg: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 41d100 ⇒ 14
His attack would be a hit...but curse those big weeds.
---------------
Artoria & Uthred
Aryn & Sarephta

Artoria drops her sword and draws her longspear on the move, matching her foe's reach.

30% Miss Chance (high is good for me): 1d100 ⇒ 43
Attack with Longspear (power attack w/furious focus, guidance): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 1 = 24
Damage (2h power attack): 1d8 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 3 = 8

A hit, nice!

Faceless stalker, round 6

The stalker lashes at Uthred, hitting him for 8, poor man.
It then tries to take more distance, failing its acro roll and provokes an attack from Uthred.
His attack would be a hit...but curse those big weeds.
---------------
Artoria jabs at and hits the stalker with her longspear.
Uthred
Aryn & Sarephtaro

By my math, we've done a net 46 damage after he healed. This guy is burly :/

That he is.

Uthred grits his teeth at the wound caused but continues to press on his attack.

30% Miss chance- high is good: 1d100 ⇒ 24
DWA: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8...DMG: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

why bother, if he had another flask of fire starting crap he would burn this whole place down

If the field was dry enough, yes. But it's too moist.

AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 261d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 71d100 ⇒ 79
Uthred takes another slash in the process.

Aryn & Sarephta

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Sarephta heals Uthred again, hoping to keep the slayer in the battle.

Uthred might develop an addiction to the healing taps of CLW wands.
Despite it, he feels somewhat better.

Aryn

I suspect the author of the module did expect people to get the urge to burn everything down! xD

The annoyance is pretty clear on Aryn's face as she moves past Artoria and ends up in front of the faceless stalker, probably provoking yet another attack.

Cold Iron Greatsword, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 1 = 20 Damage: 2d6 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 6) + 6 + 3 = 21
Miss chance, high is good: 1d100 ⇒ 55

Aryn aims carefully and swings her greatsword with huge force.

Oh please oh please oh please...

Fingers crossed!

Not really, then again you're foiling his favored tactics, so he's got to do what he can.

1 Attack 2 Trip: 1d2 ⇒ 2
Dicebot must be under the cult's mojo.

AoO, trip weapon, cover?: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 2 - 4 = 241d100 ⇒ 42
Aryn's prone again.
As she can;t occupy Artoria's square, i've placed you on the square north of it.
--------------------------
Faceless stalker, round 7

With things now getting too hot, the faceless stalker now seriously has to move around.

Acro vs AoO Uthred: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 Provokes
Acro vs AoO Sarephta: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Acro vs Artoria: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 Provokes
Uthred's weapon!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26Dmg: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 81d100 ⇒ 36
Artoria's weapon!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23Stab: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 121d100 ⇒ 30

Uthred cuts down the faceless stalker!!!!
[Stadium crowd goes wild!!]

YEAH! Go Uthred!

Time for some healing
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Artoria spits on the ground, continuing to scowl at the faceless stalker.

"Good work, Uthred. That was incredibly tedious. I do so hate fighting cravens."

Artoria will return her longspear to her back and go to retrieve her longsword.

Four charges left on my CLW wand

"Team effort really. Lets get out of this brush, heal wounds and go kill those responsible. I am out of mercy now." Uthred says, and takes a hack at the stalker one more time before leaving.

I could swear i just saw some clenched fists raised up high in celebration...and an owl lifting off, carrying a small banner [Yay Team]

On the stalker, you find a +1 sickle and 1 potion of CMW.

"Someone should take this potion and use it," Sarephta suggests.

"Who else needs healing before we carry on?"

I can use anyone's wand to heal them...just roll how many you need. I still have one channel and one spell to convert left, but would prefer to save them for battle.

"I can take the life potion. I have no way to heal myself without you ladies here so makes sense."

Yes, you might need it, to both of you ;)
What's left is just the final encounter, i'll get to that in a bit.
Roll yourselves up with the wand.

After healing up, you cautiously search the path ahead. Finding nothing ahead, you take the direction most likely to come to the center.

A thirty-foot diameter glade sits at the center of the field of looming vegetation. The ground is stripped down to bare earth and soil is heaped in a ring around the glade’s perimeter.
Two large piles of wood stand at the eastern and western sides of the glade, while an enormous, twisted mass of roots topped by thick slabs of timber sits at the glade’s center.
---------------------------------
Some look over at you, "Join us...disrobe and join us in the blessings."
Multiple voices in a chanting way: Yes....join us, join us."
1d2 ⇒ 1

Upon closer look, these cultists aren't wearing anything, they're covered in mosquitoes!

Far in the back, you see Mayor Kriegler!, behind an altar. Upon it lies Shel, motionless and staring into the dark sky.
But you get the impression she's not dead, given the movement of her chest.

Mayor Andretti Kriegler: "So...you did come after all. I am hardly surprised, frankly. You are witness to our ancient traditions, come, leave your weapons be and denounce your false beliefs. The Dream Tender provides all and rewards the faithful."

Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1

Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Artoria shakes her head, her resolve unwavering.

"Any faith that drives its followers to such craven and despicable acts is of no interest to those with honor in their hearts."

She casts a spell, drawing upon some of the divine power that strengthens her.

"Prepare yourself! Judgment comes!"

Cast Divine Favor, move up to the mayor

Alright, combat declared it seems. Give it your all, as cult fanatics do as well. The cultists don't appear on the map, but they are essentially present.
Now i'll say this, and am quoting: "Show no mercy, for you shall receive none."
Another i could quote: "Do not hesitate, show no mercy."

The mayor sighs at your first line.
"Have it your way."
