Gm DevilDoc's Blood Under Absalom Tier 5-6 (Inactive)

Game Master Awenydd83

Davorin decides to forgo dropping the last thug and picks a ruby out of a mug of beer.

Round 3
Bold May Post
Jhon- Ruby
Sarephta- Ruby
Daryus (AC 23)
Dreggar- 4 Dmg
Blue
Peribras- 11 Dmg
Davorin- Ruby (AC 24)

perception with inspiration: 1d20 + 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (8) + (6) + 11 = 25

Dreggar watches with glee as his foe drops, then his eyes narrow and he sees a gem skitter across the floor and nestle in the crumpled clothing of the fallen Aspis cutthroat. He reaches out and grasps it.

With no time to switch weapons, Sarephta thrusts her longspear at the last thug again.

+1 Longspear Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 151d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Jhon scans around looking for more rubies, but he can't find anyone, so he puts in his backpack the one he initially picked and move near the last guy.

Free to perception check. Standard as movement to put the ruby in a safe place and Move action to move near

I swear I posted earlier, I must have just hit submit and walked away, and it didn't work.

Daryus turns and notices he is still in a flanking position, this time with Jhon.

Sarenrae blesses me once again...

He brings his blade down against the other foe.

Scimitar, same as before: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 151d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

He also glances about on the floor to see if he notices a ruby.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Edit: I forgot the +2 for flanking, so that should be a 17.

sounds good to me. So the standard action was to retrieve it; I would still need to stow it? Or is stowing it a move action, in which case I could have done it last round?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Peribras: Yes, stowing is a move action, and you can do that. Considering we are this far in, I will forgo the AOO's just to keep things simpler for now. I know its not exactly fair, but it is the best we can do right now without holding everything up trying to figure out who did what when, and how it cascades.

Dreggar finds and grabs a ruby, while Sarephta tries to poke the dastardly rogue again.. with equal success as last time.
Jhon looks for more rubies, but none seem to be in reach so he moves in to aid Daryus with boxing in the last remaining enemy.
Unfortunately, Daryus' hand is not guided as well this time, and his scimitar skitters off of the mans armor.

Under heavy pressure from three sides now, the thug steps in towards Daryus, and swings his sword.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Round 3/4
Bold May Post
Jhon- Ruby
Sarephta- Ruby
Daryus (AC 23)- 4 Dmg
Dreggar- 4 Dmg
Blue
Peribras- 11 Dmg
Davorin- Ruby (AC 24)

Pocketing the first gem, Dreggar's inner greed takes over and he searches for another gem. Success! He grabs one from between a brawler's feet.

perception with inspiration: 1d20 + 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (8) + (3) + 11 = 22

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Wow, it looks like many of them had fall near us exclaims Jhon as he picks and stores another one, confident he can parry any incoming attack.

I'm sure the rubies are valuable, and important to our quest...but surviving is more important

"May the fires take you!" says Daryus as he swings his blade once more at his foe, using a small bit of magic to aid his attack.

Scimitar attack, same as before: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 4 = 201d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Using Arcane Accuracy magus arcana as a swift to add INT to hit.

Move Action: Place gem in pathfinder pouch.

Davorin places his ruby into his Pathfinder pouch and mutters the command word to ensure it's sealed again.

Free action: Look for a gem.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Seeing nothing, Davorin eyes his target and starts moving in closer.

Move action: Move 30' at half speed (this move will incur an AoO).

"Friends, stick together; this could continue to get rough. Secure those gems! How many do we have? Should we get out of here?"

Against this target AC currently 23.

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Peribras glances about for another gem. Not seeing one, he steps closer to the last thug and swings his club staff at him.

halfling sling staff, favored enemy: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 2 = 24 for bludgeoning: 1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8

-Posted with Wayfinder

"I've got two!" Dreggar shouts across the din.

Sarephta stabs again, and this time the crowd parts enough for her to get a good shot.

"May the gods have mercy on your soul!"

+1 Longspear Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 231d8 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

The team scoops up several more rubies, each one enhancing their chances of getting into the next stage of the competition. Meanwhile, the last rogue falls under the combined efforts of Daryus, Peribras, and sarephta. In all of the chaos, you find yourself in a small oasis of quiet in the midst of the roiling battle consuming the rest of the room.

Current ruby count: 7
Jhon- Ruby x2
Sarephta- Ruby
Daryus (AC 23)- 4 Dmg
Dreggar- Ruby x2 4 Dmg
Peribras- Ruby 11 Dmg
Davorin- Ruby (AC 24)

You have a moment to regroup, but it most likely will not take long for another group to accost you, as the rest of the rubies seem to have been snatched up across the room. No more perception checks for rubies from here out. You may each take one round of actions.

Davorin looks at his friends with a smile on his face, as if this is the most exciting adventure he's ever been on, "We've got some rubies! Perhaps we should consider, as a group, backing off towards the door. Peribras, Jhon, Dreggar, don't get too far away from the main group. Make sure nobody is left behind!"

Davorin hefts his shield up, peering down the flat of his blade which is held in outstretched arm. Slowly he backs off (15' total move of a move action) towards the main door.

"Agreed!" Sarephta exclaims. "No more needless bloodshed!" she says as she moves toward the door.

"I'm all for that. At least one of these gems ought to be a special one!"

Dreggar secures the last gem and heads through the crowd for the door, axe back in hand.

Daryus will pick up the ruby he noticed before, and then follow the others' lead in moving back toward the door, waving his sword about menacingly and glaring at anyone who deigns to move close to he or his allies.

Peribras follows along, eyeing his wounds.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Jhon: You may retcon one round of action prior to this.

The team attempts to form up and head out of the door when they are accosted by a large human wearing the Tien style of armor reserved for their ruling class. He moves along the north wall, and charges at Dreggar, his katana in hand!
1d6 ⇒ 4

Ronin

Daryus mutters an incantation as he sees the huge Tien charge Dreggar. His sword begins to crackle with electricity and he moves towards his new enemy, dropping into a low stance as he nears him, his blade dancing in the light.

Daryus casts shocking grasp using Spellstrike to deliver the spell through a melee weapon attack instead of the melee touch attack, moves over, uses Arcane Accuracy again as a swift action, and attacks. Is the number before our name the number of rubies we grabbed? Because Daryus did get one in the last round before starting to move away. Also, my attack is assuming that there is metal in this guy's armor, if not subtract 3 from the attack roll.

Scimitar attack: 1d20 + 8 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 3 + 4 = 231d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 115d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 3, 4, 1) = 17

Jhon, who has just picked his blue scarf in his left hand before the ronin appeared moves toward it, using his scarf to distract the human before he tries to stab him.

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14damage: 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13 Reach 10 ft due the scarf

What are you doing Jhon? Fighting this way you'll not impress anyone!

Previous round; pick the swordmaster flair (blue scarf). Move action to move, Swift action to activate the scarf (paying panache). Standard action attack.

Hey guys, if you haven't secured your gems (GM I believe clarified move action), don't forget that your "off hand" would not be "free" to wield stuff or cast. It looks Dreggar and I are the only two have been doing this.

Davorin shoulds, "Dregar, above you! The...the...big guy!"

Davorin again wades through the crowd. 'If we're not careful in here, we're going to get trapped...I need to find alternate exits and slow them down from following,' he thinks to himself.

Move action: Move 15' in difficult terrain.

Davorin eyes the menacing katana and hefty O-yoroi protecting the swordsman. "Sir, you seem skilled, but I'm afraid your math skills are poor. You see, six is greater than one."

Standard action: Unarmed trip attack the swordsman
You do get an AoO (AC 22).

Trip Attack!: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

"You see, as I was always taught, the bigger they are...". Davorin seems to be waiting to see if the trip was successful.

GM: I'm not in combat expertise at the moment, so AC is back to normal 22.

With the group trying to escape, Sareptha casts obscuring mists on the entry to cover their escape.

"Meet up outside!" she says.

I'll delay until everyone has gone.

Dreggar studies the Tian brute, steps forward and strikes.

"Find your own gems!"

studied power attack to hit: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 = 16
studied power attack and vicious weapon damage: 1d10 + 2d6 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + (5, 3) + 8 + 1 = 24
vicious damage on Dreggar: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Davorin gasps as the obscuring must surrounds them reducing his ability to fight effectively, "What is this? I can't see the door now!? Everybody, see who else is trying to get the drop on us."

[...], so he puts in his backpack the one he initially picked and [/...]

I've been storing them too

Dreggar steps into the oddly armored swordsman, but misses his swing.
Daryus calls out a warning to Dreggar as the man approaches, then rushes to his companions aid. He challenges the man, then trips him. The foreigner swings his katana as he falls, but his balance is way off!
AOO: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Once the man is on the ground, Jhon steps in and with a special flair stabs the man as he lie trying to recover.
Sarephta begins chanting, and very soon after, a roiling mist flows from her hands to encompass the nearby area as she calls for the group to fall back behind her.

The samurai cries out as he falls to the ground, and from there, he looks at Daryus with hate filled eyes. "You dishonor me, Baijo!" he spits out through gritted teeth in very heavily accented common. "You and I.. we see who is better!" Challenge declared
With these words, He jumps to his feet, and swings at Daryus. His razor sharp katana glances off of the pathfinders armor, though.
Concealment >20: 1d100 ⇒ 65
Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

AOO's for Everyone by Sarephta.. remember your miss %.. low always misses.

GM: Sorry, I took the opportunity to clean up the cloud into a radius spell, hope you don't mind. It was there but it was super not obvious. Some of our party are actually out of it, or fighting at the edge of it (such as the Samurai getting a miss chance from Daryus, but not vice versa).

As the Ronin falls to the ground Davorin finishes his last quip, "...falls."

Attack of opportunity (1H)
Remembrance (1H) : 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29 Damage (Silver): 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 High You Die!: 1d100 ⇒ 3

As the samurai gets to his feet, Davorin makes a mighty swing. While he was certain it was impressive, the clouds move before his eyes and he misses his target outright, "Urgh, I can't see five feet in front of my face anymore? Can somebody dispel this pea soup?"

Move action: Studied Target for +1/+1
Standard action: Single attack with Shield Slam

Shield Slam (PA, ST): 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 27 Damage: 1d3 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 4 + 1 = 11High You Die!: 1d100 ⇒ 67

For Shield Slam: 27 vs. CMD. If I succeed, I bull rush him back. But as he is against a wall, rather than bull rushing him back, I will knock him prone again. This does not incur an AoO.

"I said stay down, or next time I'll hurt you for real."

I must be super tired, I accidentally submitted and then it took like 20 edits to clean up really crappy markup.

Damnable mist...

"You picked the wrong group to mess with, samurai! Surrender now, you won't get another chance."

Daryus swings at the man as he attempts to stand.

Scimitar attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18Scimitar damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 820% Miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 54

Daryus takes his AoO (and probably misses, though the miss chance was good). Edit: might as well do my normal round too.

Then, he begins to cast another spell, taking precautions to protect himeself as he does.

He uses Spell Combat and defensive casts frigid touch, taking an additional -2 penalty to attack and adding +2 to his concentration. He then uses a swift action to activate Arcane Accuracy again, and then attacks with the scimitar.

Concentration check, DC 19: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

A line of frost runs down the blade, and he swings again at the armored foe.

Scimitar attack: 1d20 + 8 - 2 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 2 - 2 + 4 = 11Scimitar damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12Cold damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 2, 6) = 1420% Miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 54

Looks like another miss, but luckily the blade is still frosty.

Gm, To be fair Jhon failed his attack, as I rolled a natural 1

AoO: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27damage: 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 75

Hey! If he doesn't fight with honor you should compare yourself with someone honorable, don't you think?

Then he moves to a side to flank with Dreggar.

Attack, flank: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 2 = 31damage: 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 78
Crit?: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 13 + 2 = 30adittional damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 47
Intimidating due Menacing swordplay: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

I will parry and repost if necesary

Jhon can't see Davorin to see the frown on his face after the not-at-all veiled insult about his honor, "You know, you may not be able to see me, but I can hear you."

***OVERSEER ANNOUCEMENT***

Overseer thread

Without warning, loud slamming noises echo through the tavern, even over the fray of the combat within. Moments later, the front doors rupture in a shower of splinters. In full battle regalia, a contingent of Absalom’s First Guard rush into the room. Swinging heavy chains and nets, they beat into the brawlers en mass, dragging dozens to the floor. The remainder of the contestants break from their opponents, and the crowd devolves into a raging mob as all race frantically for the nearest exit to avoid arrest.

If you are no longer in the tavern, this is more for your awareness...

With the revision from missing Daryus' post and getting him and Davorin mixed up last turn, the damage sustained by the fighter was quite higher than I posted last.

The man falls under the mass onslaught from the group trying to get him to back off. Just as he succumbs to his wounds and Sarephta dismisses her cloud, The doors burst open and the town guard adds to the pandemonium with orders to decist and thumpings from their truncheons.

The crushing press of the roomful of fighters suddenly turns into a mob trying to break free for any exit available.

We will continue in Initiative order, and after every round, I will roll for the damage to be applied to all characters still in the room (only exception would be a successful attempt to disperse the mob). Luckily, you are close to a main exit and can escape that way. Other options include some of the side rooms next to Dreggar and Jhon. Entering these room will provide some respite.

ST check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

With a surge of strength, Dreggar rushes for the door.

I'm confused about Peribras's location. We moved out in formation, but the map shows him still back by the tables. Regardless, my action is unchanged

Peribras makes a break for the exit. "I'll see you all outside!"

also, Peribras stowed the first and only Ruby he found

-Posted with Wayfinder

Peribras: In your last post on Thursday, you posted "Peribras follows along eying his wounds", but I do not believe you updated his location on the map. Hence the current location. If you are unable to move yourself, Just say the word and we will get you taken care of. As for this move, I will need one of the checks from the spoiler above and I can move your token if you tell me which direction you would like to go.

Davorin makes a break for the door, climbing over tables and deftly attempting to flee out the very nearby door.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Dreggar pushes his way through the mayhem, while Davorin makes nimble and runs across the top of the mayhem like some longhaired elf in another universe might...

Daryus follows Davorin and Dreggar towards the door, pushing through the throng.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

I like your style, Davorin states Jhon as he follows him jumping from table to table and trying to outperform him.

Peribras takes to diving and scrambling between the legs of the mob.

acrobatics, ACP: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 - 2 = 19

my apologies, the way the posts were written I thought we were not still using the map, so I didn't even look at it when I posted

-Posted with Wayfinder

No worries. Glad we got everything cleared up! I have moved your token to reflect 20 ft movement towards the others.

Daryus also uses his strength to his advantage, bodily pushing his way through the throng while Jhon and Peribras follow Davorin across the table tops dancing around, under, and over their obstacles.

Strength: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Sarephta sees everyone rushing towards her and pushes through the door, leading the way outside.

Crush of the mob: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 2) = 10

so attacking the mob would cause *additional* NL damage?

Peribras continues to juke and jive his way through the mob.

oof, I think he's going to fall unconscious

-Posted with Wayfinder

I guess I'm a little confused, I thought the damage was only if we tried to CMB a space. Though honestly it's Tim Hithcock, so who knows what he really meant.

So it's just repeated checks to get out? Should we just roll until we succeed if we're nearly to the door? Might be faster.

-Posted with Wayfinder

It appears that I misinterpreted some of the materiel. The 3d6 is only if you attempt to clear the area, and not a given at the end of each round as I thought. No Non lethal damage for anyone. There is no punitive damage for each round, but there is a round limit that everyone must be out of the building by.. so lets to this. Everyone look at the map, and roll what you need to, to get out of the building, max of 4 attempts. If you choose to use the CMB check, you will then take the 3d6

Is there anyway to help Peribras? I'm pretty confident I can go out in the time limit, So I'm going to intimidate the mob to move away of the halfling. Can that lower a little Peribras DC?

Intimidating: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
acrobatics in second round: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Jhon starts shouting and waiving his rapier. Move away of my friend or you'll end like a brochette! You! Aren't you going to loook where you step? do you want to anger me?

After having some threats in return he moves out of the inn and watches to see if Peribras needs more help.

Now that no one is taking 3d6 dmg every turn, there is a very good chance for him to get out in time.. he only needs 2 successful rolls out of 4 chances. You are more than welcome to move to him and attempt a CMB check to clear out his space, but be warned that the 3d6 then comes back into play for you. As for the intimidation, I do not believe that to be an allowed check considering that they are already in a mad scramble of trying to escape from the guards.. there is not much you can do to intimidate someone already fleeing for their lives. At this point, you have a choice of either waiting until he rolls a pass or fail and acting then, or exiting the tavern with Sarephta using your current roll.
