Tûrak Kavendarth |
Tûrak will be the last to go, always looking for any danger coming from the back.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
GM Baerlie |
Tûrak checks to dark room for any remaining danger, but there is nothing.
Willow opens the door to the second floor and gets into the next room.
Racks for weapons line the walls of this chamber; above the racks hang various shields, pieces of armor, weapons, and standards on display. Most of the racks are empty, but a few weapons remain in place. A horrible stench fills the room as well, akin to the smell of rotten eggs mixed with the reek of an open sewer.
The pathfinders see two young Troglodyte Guards standing in the room, they look frightened but are ready to fight.

Round 1
Saleem
Willow
Kaede
Tûrak
Alexis
Natsume
Troglodytes
If Shin wants to follow before the fight starts it's ok. I'm posting Round 1 to keep it going.
Kaede Kashinaga |
Instinctively, Kaede draws her shortbow and nocks an arrow. She aims it past Willow, at the nearer of the two troglodytes.
Drawing a bow takes up one turn in itself, right?
Natsume Shin |
I figured I was with the group. Yes I will enter with them.
Shin see's the pair and opens with a running kick. On my turn of course.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Kaede Kashinaga |
I think you're right, yeah.
Kaede looses the arrow, hoping it will strike true.
Attack roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Damage if hit: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Confirming crit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Bah. Oh well. At least it hit.
Saleem Magmum |
Saleem notices that they seem frightened. He turns his firy eyes on them and then narrows them, sending them promised pain within that glare.
Taking 10 due to fiery Glare for a total 14 intimidate
GM Baerlie |
Saleem intimidates the Troglodytes with his firy eyes, these creatures prefer rocks and stones and not the fire. They look at each other not sure what to do and lower their javelins.
Round 1
Saleem - Intimidate
Willow - shortbow
Kaede - shortbow
Tûrak
Alexis
Natsume - kick
Troglodyte 1
Troglodyte 2
Tûrak Kavendarth |
Turak moves and shoots the troglodyte who was already wounded.
"Eat some gunpowder, stupid lizard!"
Ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25, if hit Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
GM Baerlie |
Tûrak aims at the Troglodyte who is already suffering from pain and gives him a deadly shot in his head. This frightens the other Troglodyte even more. He tries to escape but the room is full with people, no way out.
Round 1
Saleem - Intimidate
Willow - shortbow
Kaede - shortbow
Tûrak - gun
Alexis
Natsume - kick
Troglodyte 1 - dead
Troglodyte 2
Alexis V'eron |
Alexis whips the scarf off of her shoulders and prepares for a battle. That's a move action for her, so she probably can't do anything else in the first round unless the other troglodyte approaches her.
GM Baerlie |
Alexis prepares her scarf again for an attack. The remaining Troglodyte gets frightened so much that he tries to reach the door.
20% Chance that the door is blocked (1-20)
Door blocked: 1d100 ⇒ 55
The door is not blocked, the Troglodyt tries to get away.
AoO for Willow, because she's next to the door.
Tasarë "Willow" Solaera |
As the troglodyte rushes close, Willow whips another arrow from her quiver and stabs at the monster, making do as best she can.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 2 - 4 = 9 Damage, if hit: 1d4 ⇒ 2
She's only got her bow out, so the best she can do is use either bow or arrow as an improvised weapon. I'm guessing an arrow would be most like a very awkward dagger.
Saleem Magmum |
Saleem sighs as the obviously frightened creature attempts to get away from them.
"Someone if you'd be so kind." gesturing to the poor doomed troglodyte
Natsume Shin |
Shin runs up and tries to grapple it to prevent it from leaving. He attempts to grab the creature and put it in a joint lock.
CMB: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
If hit
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Saleem Magmum |
How do you do damage if you're grappling Natsume?
GM Baerlie |
Willow was surprised by the Troglodyte running to the door in her direction that she missed her chance to stop it.
I just went through the rules, I think dealing damage is only possible in the next round after the creatue could be sucessfully held in grapple (is that a correct sentence?).
The rules say "As a standard action, you can attempt to grapple a foe, hindering his combat options....Once you are grappling an opponent, a successful check allows you to continue grappling the foe, and also allows you to perform one of the following actions (as part of the standard action spent to maintain the grapple)." So I think grapple is a standard action in one round and holding the opponent and dealing damage can be done in the next round. Unless there is a feat or special ability which I somehow missed.
Round 2
Saleem
Willow
Kaede
Tûrak
Alexis
Natsume - grapple
Troglodyte
Alexis V'eron |
All this assumes there is room around the troglodyte to get into melee range. If there isn't, I guess Alexis will mostly stand around and look pretty.
Alexis runs after the creature as it tries to escape and spins around, causing her scarf to fly through the air with a slight whistle. She aims the fast moving end of the scarf at the creature.
attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Saleem Magmum |
Saleem flicks his fingers towards the frightened thing and send a magical orb of acid towards it.
Acid Orb 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d3 ⇒ 1
"Stop that already!"
Tasarë "Willow" Solaera |
This is just too tight a space, Willow thinks, drawing her morningstar with her free hand. Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 Damage if hit: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Unfortunately, the bow in her left hand gets in her way, but she snarls menacingly at the troglodyte to make the best of it, "Surrender!" Sorry everyone, the digital dice seem to be against me this past couple of rounds. :|
Kaede Kashinaga |
Whoops! I somehow missed that it was a new round!
Kaede fires an arrow at the troglodyte.
Attack roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Damage if hit: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Bah.
Tûrak Kavendarth |
Tûrak will reload his pistol. (standard action)
GM Baerlie |
Saleem attacks the Troglodyte with an acid orb to stop it. Willow attacks with her morningstar, but the bow in the other hand gets in her way and she misses. Kaede fires an arrow but also misses due to the bad light in the room. Turak reloads his pistol to be ready to fire when he gets a Chance. Alexis whirls her scarf and hits the Troglodyt on the side, cutting deep wounds in his flesh. Shin catched the escaping Troglodyte just in the right moment before he could slip throught the door.
The Troglodyte, still fighting for his life, tries to excape the grapple but is to weak to get away.
Escape Artist: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 vs. CMD 13 (Shin)
Round 3
Saleem
Willow
Kaede
Tûrak
Alexis
Natsume (still grappling)
Troglodyte -4HP
Saleem Magmum |
Saleem seeing that Shin seems to have things under control, aids by closing the door.
Alexis V'eron |
Round 3
I think this creature will not be long for this world, says Alexis to herself. Let's make sure none of us are hurt.
Alexis channels some of her energy into her scarf. Arcane Strike, Swift action
After charging up her scarf, Alexis brings it down on their adversary.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6
That is almost certainly a hit, based on last round.
When Alexis' scarf makes contact with the creature, it discharges some magic with a crack like the end of a whip.
GM Baerlie |
While the Troglodyte was trying to escape Shin and Alexis hit him two times very hard. Still with fear in his eyes the small creature sank into Shin's arms.
Combat over
Perception checks to search the room for any valuable items or traps
Search Willow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Search Kaede: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Search Alexis: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
Search Tûrak: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Search Shin: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
I take Willow's check as the hightest and everybody else aid another, makes a total of 35.
The group searches the room for any traps or valuable items for the sponsor. They find some remaining arms which have rusted away and are useless in combat. But they also find a masterwork silver dagger, a masterwork light steel shield emblazoned with a leaping dolphin and a banner depicting a bird made of living flame. This banner belongs to the Band of the Phoenix, one of Absalom's most famous hunting lodges during the Age of Blades. It might be a very valuable item to a historian or collector.
The group can also see a javelin trap at the door in the south east wall. DC20 Disable Device
Saleem Magmum |
Saleem helps in the search but steers clear away at the obvious trap once pointed out to him.
Tûrak Kavendarth |
"I don't know, milady..."
Tûrak stays in guard with his pistol in hand.
Tûrak Kavendarth |
Again, Tûrak will be the last, always looking for any danger coming from the back.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
GM Baerlie |
This octagonal room is covered in a fine layer of dust. It’s clearly been abandoned for a long time.
Tûrak can't see any danger coming from the back, but he can hear strange noises from behind the other door in the north east wall. It sounds like dragging something in shallow water.
Shin can see that the room behind the door in the south east wall is empty beside some rotten clothes and rusted weapons on the floor. The Group can see another door in the northeast wall.
Saleem Magmum |
Saleem follows the others.
Natsume Shin |
Shin moves to the northeast door, motioning that he hears something.
perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20Looking to see if it is trapped
If there are no traps and once the group gathers behind him, he opens the door.
Tasarë "Willow" Solaera |
Strength check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 For Heaven's sake.
After she bounces off the door, Willow turns back to the rest of the group. "Alexis, could you give us a hand with this door? I think you're the strongest of us."
Alexis V'eron |
Alexis will try to help open the blocked door.
"Surely, " she replies to Willow. "Just make me a space big enough to get a good stance and I'll do what I can."
Strength check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Hrm... or not.
Saleem Magmum |
"I concur. Let us try the other door first." Saleem follows Shin to the other way.
Tûrak Kavendarth |
Tûrak moves at the door in troglodytes' room with Shin and Saleem.
"Is that door also blocked? Do you need some help?"
When he realizes that the door is open, he stands by with his pistol in hand.
