Game Master Baerlie

No Objection. Saleem will cast Mage Armor

Alexis follows the rest of the group up the stairs, trying to stay toward the middle.

After the experiences of the day, she keeps her scarf unwound and in her hands.

So you move up to the 4th floor. The door ist stuck, but can be broken (DC15 strength check).

Alexis puts her scarf about her shoulders and puts her hands against the door. "It looks like we have a choice between this and the bats. Everybody care to lend a hand? Lean into the door"

Alexis starts to push with all of her might.

strength, dc15: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Alexis breaks the door with a bursting sound.

Crude bunks line the walls of this room, which is filled with the nauseating stench of troglodytes.

The stench is so strong, some of you start chocking (DC 13 Fort save).

Round 1
Tûrak
Saleem
Troglodytes
Willow
Natsume
Alexis
Kaede

All living creatures (except troglodytes) within 30 feet of a troglodyte must succeed on a DC 13 Fortitude save or be sickened for 10 rounds. The save DC is Constitution-based. Creatures that successfully save cannot be affected by the same troglodyte’s stench for 24 hours.

Sickened: The character takes a -2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Kaede is sickened by the stench of the troglodytes. Eyes watering, she attempts to fire an arrow at the northernmost troglodyte.

Attack roll: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 3 - 2 = 15

Damage if hit: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Oh, oops, I forgot that weapon damage also takes a penalty. Welp.

Alexis breaks down the door, and Willow wrinkles her nose as troglodytic stench carries out onto the landing. Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 “Goddesses, that’s truly disgusting,” she thinks, while her stomach lurches.

Doing her best to keep her hand steady, she takes aim past Alexis at the leftmost troglodyte. Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 3 - 2 = 15 damage if hit: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2

"Ye gods..." Saleem groans at the stench.
Fort save vs DC 13 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Sickened for 10 Rounds.
Throwing up the contents of the last hour, his heaves last only for a moment as a horrified Saleem looks at the mess at his feet...

"YOU!!!!"
Stepping forward, he throws out his arms and an explosion of colors erupt from it as he speaks a single word of power. Waiting for the right time to direct the force gathering at his finger tips towards the Trogs.
Ready action to cast Color Spray at the trogs. Will Save DC 15

Fortitude DC 13: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

The character takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

"Oh, gods damn that smell! You will swallow gunpowder for it!"

Tûrak move and shoots the troglodyte in his front.

Ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23, if hit, Damage: 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6

Round 1

Alexis bursts through the door and sends shards of wood into the room. Once she steps in, she is hit with the wave of stench from the inhabitants of the room.

fortitude save, dc13: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

She retches and tries to maintain her footing as her eyes burn.

Alexis tries to cast a spell through her choking.

concentration: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 I assume this is appropriate?

The cloud of stench is too much for Alexis and she fails to cause a magical event.

Status: Sickened 10/10 rounds.

Turak attacks the Troglodyte in front of him, shooting a bullet into his shoulder. Saleem prepares a spell to attack the Troglodytes in the right moment.

The Troglodytes come closer and attack:
The northern Troglodyte attacks Alexis
Club Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Two of the Troglodytes cannot harm their targets, but Saleem got hit.

@Alexis: I would say no need for concentration, you feel sick, but not too much, these are only young Troglodytes.

Sigh... Sux to have being hit.
Concentration (1d20+Caster level+Cha Mod VS DC 14 (10+Dmg+spell level)1d20 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 5 = 14 Phew just made it. Saleem fires off his spell just as the Trogs come charging in. I think only hits Trog 1 & Trog 2.....Avoiding friendly fire please.
Will Save DC 15

Color Spray

Saleem fires his color spray at two of the Trogs, careful not to hit Alexis.

Will Save DC 15 Trog N: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (14) - 2 = 12

Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

"I trust the rest of you can deal with the last one?"
Saleem says.

Round 2

Alexis spins around in a whirl, her scarf cutting through the air which a slight whistle. She sends the fast moving end toward the last standing Troglodyte, hoping to cut it with the speed of the fabric. As the scarf moves, it begins to crackle with magical energy.

Move action: Draw Bladed Scarf (not clearly out before)
Swift action: arcane strike
Standard action: attack!

attack with bladed scarf: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 3 - 2 = 17

Status: sickened 9/10

Alexis attacks the last standing troglodyte with her scarf and cuts his throat. Out of combat

What do you want to do with the remaining one? Tie it?

If we have rope left, sure, or could someone put it to sleep for longer with a coup de grace with a nonlethal weapon? It feels a bit brutal to bash its head in when there's nothing obvious around to get it back on its feet anytime soon.

I'm fine with either.

You find some dirty old clothes and a rope. Willow and Saleem tie the reimaining troglodyte with the rope.

Where do you want to go? NE or SE?

Turak just watches while her friends tie the troglodyte.

"I think we can continue on the southeast door, what do you think?"

The pistolero reloads his weapon while chatting with his fellow.

A brazier of glowing coals sits in the center of this room, ist acrid smoke mixing with the ever-present troglodyte stench. A few knives, pokers, and other metal implements lie atop a rusty iron box nearby.

Another DC 13 Fortitude save to resist the stench if you didn't succeed before.

You see another troglodyte standing in front of a wooden door on the other side of the room. When he sees you entering the room he gets ready to attack you.

Saleem fires off a shot at the smelly thing and then backs off behind his companions.
Elemental Ray, ranged touch 30ft. 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 81d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"That seems as good a plan as any," Willow says, standing by Tûrak's side as he opens the door. She blinks to see another troglodyte appear, and reaches for another arrow when she sees him grab for his own weapons, though her stomach still lurches with the room's stench.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 - 2 = 8 Damage, possibly: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3

Round 1 - SE Room

Alexis moves into the room, swinging her scarf around her body. "This one smells a little less bad, at least" she jokes.

Uttering an incantation in an arcane tongue, Alexis again tries to bring the power of the north to bear on the Trogdolyte.

Casting ray of frost
Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 - 2 = 3
damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

"Now you will not catch me with your fart, bastard!"

Ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

If hit...

Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Tûrak shoots a bullet at the big troglodyte. The bullet creates a big hole in his chest, the troglodyte starts to bleed heavily.

Tulok throws his javelin at Tûrak but is not able to hit him.

Saleem crosses his arm and unleashes an orb, this green in colour.
Acid Ray. 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 101d3 ⇒ 1

Willow begins to close the distance deliberately, knowing that she will not be able to get her morningstar clear and wade into the melee so quickly. Making the best of it, she tries to wait for a suitable opening and whips off another arrow... Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 3 - 2 - 4 = 6 Damage: 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3 ...but misses.

Turak tries to move away from his enemy with caution and agility, and then loads his pistol with ammunition.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Acrobatics DC's to Move Through Threatened Areas: Opponent’s Combat Maneuver Defense

Sorry, lots of stuff going on in RL. Bot me until the end of this fight, and I'll join back in when it's over.

Tûrak, where do you want to move? At the moment your token is not in any of the threatened areas. Kaede, no worries, I'll do that :) And we are almost at the end of this adventure, after this one max. two more encounters to go.

Saleem hits Tulok with his acid ray, melting a small part of his arm. Tûrak moves to a better Position and reloads his pistol.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 - 2 = 15
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Combat over

Alexis hits the troglodyte on it's chest and it sinks down to the stone floor. Around its neck you find a key. You can also find an unlocked rusty iron chest. It holds some equipment: a suit of masterwork studded leather armor, a masterwork buckler, a masterwork rapier, a shortbow with 15 arrows, a scroll of cure moderate wounds, a scroll of invisibility, a wayfinder (a sort of magical compass that shines with light on command and grants a +2 circumstance bonus on Survival checks to avoid becoming lost), and a climber’s kit.

The door in the northeast wall is locked, the key fits.

"Ho there! Seems like a prisoner in need. Does anyone else have the key to those manacles?"

The key also opens the manacles.

The prisoner tries to hide in a corner of the dark room. "Please don't beat me again! I'm going to do what you demand, but please don't beat me!"

Turak watches the man in the corner, and after recognizing that he is Balenar Forsend says: "[b]Keep calm, Balenar. We are the cavalry![b]", and then he approaches to the bard and tries to help him get up.

Oh, sorry, your torches blinded me. Somebody sent you to rescue me? Thank you very much! But what about the troglodytes in this fortress? Are they still here? After getting up he asks Tûrak and Saleem Do you have some water, I'm extremly thirsty.

"We have killed all the troglodytes we have encountered, but I've no idea if they are all gone. What is your name, sir?"

My name is Balenar Forsend, I'm a Pathfinder from Absalom. Could you please unlock the manacles? he whispers with a dry throat. I came here to search the fortress for rare things for the Society but the troglodytes cought me. Did it happen that you've found my stuff? It's a shortbow, a rapier, a buckler, my studded leather armour and of course my wayfinder. The troglodytes took it away. Did the Pathfinder Society send you to rescue me? I really can't believe you killed the troglodytes in this fortress. Did you also kill the boss? A big one, the smaller troglodytes call him Tasskar, with a crocodile familiar.

Willow extracts her waterskin from her pack and offers the man a drink. "We found your things in the next room, and of course the Society wanted to find out what had happened to you. We'll get you out of here," she reassures him. A frown passes over her face as she considers his last words.

"We haven't run into anything that sounds like this Tasskar yet. It you feel you can manage the stairs, it should be safe below if you want to wait for us, unless you can handle the climb from the first level as well." She considers his bruises with a compassionate eye. "Let's see if we can get you out of those, at least." Taking the key to the room from Saleem, she tries it in the manacles' lock and grins as the key turns and the chains fall open.

Thank you he says after taking some gulps from the water skin. I'm afraid I can't come with you, I have to make sure Tasskar is not sacrificing humans to his dark god any more. I think he's on the upper level. If you want to help me I'd be more than happy. If not I'm going alone. If I'm not returning maybe a bard will sing a song about me one time. He gets out of his prison into the other room, takes his weapons and armour and steps into the staircase.

Willow grabs the man’s arm as he babbles his reckless plans and fits on his armour. She speaks firmly and with pointed emphasis, “I said we hadn’t run into Tasskar yet. We haven’t finished exploring, and if you think anyone’s in imminent danger we’ll hurry through any empty rooms for now, but no one is going haring off on their own to get themselves killed. We don’t have a healer, and one of us has already had a javelin glance off his ribs. You should stay with us.”

She looks to the others for a decision. “Shall we quickly check the other side of this floor, or just head upstairs?”

Balenar looks around. He can see that Saleem is injured. Please excuse me being hotheaded. I was imprisoned for a long time now and I saw my end coming closer every day. My situation was hopeless.

He casts cure light wounds on Saleem.
CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

"Well now. We're your backup. Is there anything else in the rooms that you maybe aware off? If not I'm sure we'll more than happy to confront this Tasskar. THank you for that healing as well." Saleem offers a polite bow to the man.

I don't know what else is on this floor. The troglodytes captured me in the second floor.

"Tasskar is at the top, let's go now before he can do something evil. I'm not interested in the other rooms here. Let's get this job done and head back to Absalom." and he enters the staircase again.

Sorry to do this, but it's not going somewhere, if we keep this pace we finish in a year.

I'd like to run the scenario "Master of the Fallen Fortress". This is a short scenario for level 1 characters, perfect for beginners. If you are interested, just post here.

This is my first society scenario as a GM.

Posting for interest

Dotted.

1. nightdeath
2. Ffordesoon
3.

5.
6.

Oh! I'd like to get in on this if I can.

Need to finish up my sheet, but been wanting to start a new character.

This is my first PFS game. Anything special I should know?

Hmmm is that enough for 4?

The guide to PFS organized play should contain everything you should know. PFS character creation is explained in this document. There are a few restrictions and special rules. http://paizo.com/products/btpy84k4

We need one more for a party of 4 :o)

Currently it's
1. nightdeath
2. Ffordesoon
3. Alexis V'eron

I'll join in. Just gotta finish my background, but I'm ready otherwise.

Can I join the party? This is my first time in PbP... :)

I think we're good.

Yes, that's enough players to start the campaign :)

We have:
1. nightdeath
2. Ffordesoon
3. Alexis V'eron
4. Natsume Shin
5. Tûrak, son of Tûrvil

I will start as soon as the webmasters fixed the problem with this thread. I'm not able to create any campaign tabs, because this thread was somehow created by an "Anonymous Visitor" (I think I created a problem because I changed the alias for the first post, sorry for that).

In the meantime I ask you to finish the character sheets for your PFS characters.

I'll get myself all finished up tonight. Thanks for letting me join!

Here's the crunch.

Still working on the fluff.

Am Updating this one later.
Ifrit Sorceror

Might I ask if there's room for one more? I'm working on a new character that I thought I might arrange for PFS, and I could post the details by some time this evening.

Might I ask if there's room for one more? I'm working on a new character that I thought I might arrange for PFS, and I could post the details by some time this evening.

Sure, there was one slot left :) It's yours now.

I decided to go "dustjacket biography" for this one. Since this is just a module, I figure I don't need Kaede to be too detailed upfront. I'll discover her character through play.

If, of course, that's okay with the GM.

@Kaede that's fine, you decide what you want to tell us about your character

This is Qunnessaa reporting in; I think I've got all of Willow's details in the profile of this alias. Thanks for having me, Baerlie.

I'm about 90% done with mechanics. Just need to finish equipment and do a final check. Most everything is in the profile.

So, ready to go when the thread issues get fixed.

I'm ready to go too, in case it wasn't obvious.

Take your time, I'm still waiting for a fix. I got an answer from webmaster Crystal, but the solution did not work (I already answered back to her). I'm pretty sure that we will have a gameplay and discussion thread in the next hours ;)

@ Tûrak and nightdeath: please don't forget to complete your character sheets

The campaign thread seems to work for me now, at least I can see the tabs in the header.

I'll do it now! ^^

I think I'm ready. =)

if theres a spot open i got a lv 1 slayer
