Outpost 2018: #0-02 The Hydra's Fang Incident by DM Beat It Flat (Inactive)

Game Master Beat It Flat

There are no obvious boxes that might have slid around. There are however 2 other men standing in the room.

The link to the map will now be listed in my posts.

Freire will step into the room, greatsword in front of him and point up so that he is prepared for defending or attacking, but still looking menacing. I play him online and live as sort of a Lt. Worf from Star Trek: TNG persona. He takes the "war" part of the class very seriously, too seriously in fact.

Perception to determine what he can of what has taken place: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Sense Motive to determine what the two men are up to: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Depending on the above dice rolls, there may be a preemptive strike forthcoming or some dialogue. From someone else.

Ratesh moves into the room, opening the door to his left and looking around for any other signs of danger.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 9
SenseMotive: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17 to determine if any of the strangers are a threat.

Amerel moves in with his cold iron rapier drawn and to his side.

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

"What's going on in here?"

sense motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

You do get the distinct impression that things are going to get less friendly very soon.

I will rolling initiative just as soon as I get a moment here

If I have a chance before initiative I would like to cast shocking grasp and hold the charge.

1. Sek
2. Ratesh
3. Andor
4. Thug 2
5. Thug 2
6. Freire
7. Kat
8. Amerel

If I have a chance before initiative I would like to cast shocking grasp and hold the charge.

I guess you could have done that as you stepped into the room.

Sek slides up behind Freire. His eyes focus on the thug in the corner and he looses an arrow. Due to Old Deadeye's blessing (trait Deadeye Bowman) Sek is unphased buy Freire standing in the doorway.

Attack + Study + PBS: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Sek steps up and hits the thug in the corner hard with an arrow, but does not quite take him down.

Ratesh is up.

Ratesh takes a swing at the thug in front of him, his blade crackling with electricity.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
SwordDamage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
ShockingGrasp: 5d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 4, 5, 1) = 16

Confirm: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
extradamage: 1d8 + 5d6 ⇒ (4) + (1, 2, 5, 4, 4) = 20

Sorry - I am not used to the pace of PbP yet so ignore the crit from two days ago I assume so I just roll again now.

Andor runs to the thug that was hit by Sek and draws his Rapier. He then tries to pierce a vital spot and thrusts.

Rapier attack roll (+4 dex, +1 BAB, +1 Weapon Focus): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Damage roll (+4 dex from Fencing Grace Feat): 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

In case Andor is attacked he uses 'Opportune Parry' and parries by expending an AoO to parry - so if the thugs attack roll is lower than this result then the parry is successful.

Opportune Parry: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

In case Andor successfully parries he uses 'Reposte' as an immediate action to attack the thug that attacked him by expending a Panache Point.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 Rapier attack roll (+4 dex, +1 BAB, +1 Weapon Focus)
1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 Damage roll (+4 dex from Fencing Grace Feat)

Ratesh totally obliterates the closer thug, and Andor finishes off the other thug. Freire is next in initiative.

Freire moves towards what seems to be a young man token. Freire has no clue who this person is as he has suddenly appeared as far as Freire can tell. Freire keeps his weapon in the guard position, but does not strike.

"Who are you, young man? What is your role in these events? Speak quickly so that we may get to the bottom of this affair."

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

"I am a young girl, and this is my father lying dead here. You guys busted in here and killed my fathers guards. What are you evil people going to do to me now?"

Freire, any other actions you would like to do on your turn?

are we allowed to sense motive too? If yes:

Sm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Drat! I got confused and thought Ameril was a NPC token. Since both thugs are down, I will just deal with her.

"I think you are lying to me! Raise your hands into the air and stay still."

Intimidate: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Freire is going to try to intimidate her into obeying him.

Katiya begins laughing at Freire while concentrating on a combat casting.
concentration check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
The spell fails to go off.

Amerel is up in initiative.

sense motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Amerel isn't sure, but he thinks she just tried to cast a spell, so he's going to attack out of slight paranoia...

melee attack with cold iron rapier and flank: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 = 26
possible damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
possible sneak attack damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4

possible critical confirmation: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 2 = 27
possible critical damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Sek trusts is his companions. Studies, draws, and fires.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 151d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Andor shouts “Stop! We need answers!! And we cannot kill three people although we have not been attacked once. “

Freire will attempt to use non-lethal force to incapacitate the girl on his turn.

Non-lethal Greatsword Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 4 = 172d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 5) + 7 = 17

"Andor is right. We need a prisoner. This one will do."

Sorry got tied up at work this morning
She goes down with Amerel's crit.
Sek and Freire can choose to not pile further if they like

Sek does not attack. Instead runs in and try to stabilize.

heal: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Andor also tries to stabilize if no one does it earlier. heal: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Andor also tries to stabilize if no one does it earlier. [dice= heal] d20

Andor which one are you going to stabilize, the thug or girl

The girl.

She is stable but unconscious.

"Does anyone have this salt stuff that wakes people?"

Andor tries to stabilize the other surviving thug that was not completely obliterated by Ratesh.
heal: 1d20 ⇒ 7

"I can wake her with healing. I don't have smelling salts, though I should get some."

heal: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Andor tries to also stabilize the other thug again.

Amerel moves into the back room and searches for clues as to what may be going on here....

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Note: +1 to perception for traps/to be suprised by foes

“Amerel is right. We could face more resistance. Sek, let us check the rest of this place. Then we can restrain them and wake them for interrogation. “

Andor stabelizes the thug. Amerel finds a trap door in the back room.

Instead of killing the girl through the application of just a bit too much non-lethal force, Freire stays his hand. He moves over and stabilizes anyone who needs it with a orison.

Sek takes up century in the doorway, unless needed to rouse with his wand of cure light.

"I will keep watch. I will leave you all to the interrogation."

Ratesh reaches into his pack and pulls out a small oiled paper pouch and hands it to Andor.
Smelling salts?

Amerel fishes into his belt pouch and pulls out his Ioun Torch. He then activates it and watches the trap door carefully.

The trap door looks like a hatch door that does not appear trapped.

Andor starts ties up the stabilized prisoners with rope.

“Thanks for the salt Ratesh, unbelievable move by the way... the lighting I mean!” he says grinning.

"I was just thinking, maybe these are the Consortium knuckleheads. They sure don't look very bright"

Do any of them look like Lubor?"

Sek casts detect magic. Is there magic in the room?

Freire moves to the trap door. "Whenever you are ready, I shall open the trap door. I have a suspicion that those folks are not going to tell us anything about what lies beyond it, if they even do know something."

Freire uses Perception to look about the room and to look over the trapdoor.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Andor looks at Amerel. "Hmmm ... didn't Osprey say that Lubor Staizkal is an ambitious Enforcers for the Consortium? Why would the Consortium create such a mess in the shop of one of its own operatives?"

Andor starts searching the pockets of the thugs and the little girl.
