Outpost: Perils of the Pirate Pact (Inactive)

Game Master Awenydd83

AC is 23....unless there is something else i don't see

Ashara points her finger at Lady Riverbane:"It's a good thing you did not flee, betrayer! This way things will be faster for everyone. Now STOP right there and wait for us to deal with your ragtag followers!"

Ashara casts Hold Person on Lady Riverbane. DC16 to avoid being paralyzed on the spot

My apologies, Mykel. I had assumed all critical threats were automatic hits, but rereading that particular line in the rules proves me wrong. Thank you for the refresher!!

I misread the number of pirates here.. so taking some GM fiat to explain that.
As the team advances, four more pirates burst into being from under the brush and drop from the tree canopy to encircle their leader!

Riverbane Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Ashara lets fly a spell to try and control Lady Riverbane, and for a moment it seems like she will be Held in place.. until with a derisive laugh, she casts off the mental intrusion!

Alaric lets his dwarven-made weapon dangle in front of him, spinning it slowly as he begins his low dirge.

"Why did you die
Dear son of Mine,
Why did you die at all...

It was a game,
Played by the fey,
To slaughter us at the Ball..."

Raging Song! +2 Str/Con, +1 Will

Meanwhile, Thurismund lashes out.

Slam, PA, Raging Song: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 1 = 9
damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8
Slam, PA, Raging Song: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 1 = 16
damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

Fatham casts shield before advancing into combat, fury in his eyes.

22 AC

Alaric begins his raging song, while Thurismund begins to raise merry hell! His first slam misses, but the second one connects, jarring the man hard.

Fatham casts a spell of protection before moving in, intent on doing some damage!

Lady Riverbane laughs at you in derision as you advance before falling into a spellcasters trance for a moment. With a few words and a waggle of her fingers, the ground under Fatham and Aleric turns into a slippery mess as grease coats the area. She then draws a wand from her belt.
Aleric: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Fatham: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Fatham manages to keep his feet as he moves, but Aleric is rudely pitched to the ground!

Mykel slashes at the closest brigand, trying to reduce the number of attackers quickly. He maintains a defensive posture to fend off any attacks.

Give up...you can't win!attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 231d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 4 = 17p/r: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 131d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 161d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 4 = 15
not takibg the raging song...i dont think it would allow me to use my parry and riposte abilities... attacking orange...then 5ft step to blue

Pferryn quietly advances, and with an inaudible giggle to himself, the wayang hurls a snowball at Riverbane.

Sneak Attack Snowball vs TouchAC: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 6 - 4 = 19 for cold damage of : 5d6 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 6, 3, 6) + 1 + (4, 3) = 30

"Ooh! That had to hurt ya, didn't it?!?"

Pferryn: Your Character sheet lists you at 1d6 sneak. Even without any sneak, you rocked her world but for future reference..

Also just caught a mistake. The Grease spell targeted Mykel and Fatham, not Aleric. Using the roll above, Mykel keeps his feet under him, and Aleric is not prone. However, Mykel, it is a move action to move out of difficult terrain and will require a reflex save DC 13. I will keep you where you are for now, so your P/R can take effect when the pirates charge.

Mykel shows the balance and agility of a cat as he keeps his feet under him while sinking his blade to the hilt in the pirate before him.

Pferryn suddenly pops into sight as a magical snowball the size of an ogres head smashes into Lady Riverbane, ending her delusions of grandeur with an ugly bone crunching splat!

The remaining pirates give cries of dismay but charge forward knowing their lives are forfeit anyway.
Y vs T: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
G vs T: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Mykel is untouched in the onslaught, but his parry and riposte are just as useful! However, the pirates manage to land small wounds upon both Pferryn and Thurismund.

ahh...ok...no prob

Mykel presses on against the pirate right in front of him. He knows he poses a threat go them, so he waits to fend off and strike back.

attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 161d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 4 = 11
p/r: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 291d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 131d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 4 = 10

The mournful song slowly begins to build up, as the dorn-dergar spins and lashes out at the pirate who wounded the phantom.

+1cold iron dwarven dorn-dergar, Raging Song, PA + FF vs Yellow: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 1 = 15
damage: 1d10 + 7 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 1 + 3 = 13

Thurismund, meanwhile, decides to go after the other pirate. "Fey lover... Don't die just yet, I will beat you with your own spine, race traitor!" he snarls loudly in lady Riverbane's direction.

Slam vs Green (PA): 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 1 - 1 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Slam vs Green (PA): 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 - 1 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

The ectoplasmic falchion spins in Thurismund's hands, as the pirate finds himself staring into the flat of the blade, knocking his teeth out.

"Surrender now or your lives are forfeit!" Ashara proclaims as she points her finger towards the nearest pirate engulfing him with a wave of pure terror.

Ashara casts Cause Fear on Green, DC to resist is 15

Fatham attempts to exit the slippery grease, taking a large step to the south.

He attempts to strike the traitorous woman, but his aim is off as he exits the grease.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

+1 falcata: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 141d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

grapple: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

The team begins taking out the trash and ridding Golarion of some problem children!
Mykel slashes one pirate down and prepares to fence with the next in line, While Aleric does double duty keeping his song going and engaging in some pirate killing himself.

Thurismund takes the next in line, clearing out his side of the field and leading Ashara to take a few steps forward to target the closest pirate with a spell. With a strangled cry, his weapon hits the ground and he turns to run!
Will save: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Back up front, Fatham steps out of the grease and moves forward, cutting one down with his falcata, while his air writhes about him in a nimbulous cloud of death.

Too close for slinging any spells, Pferryn rips his rapier out and stabs at the remaining pirate.

He strikes the man with the pointy end.. but it doesn't seem to have much effect!

The purple cloaked man tosses his falchion down and beats feet through the jungle!
AOO for Mykel!

The remaining pirate keeps the pressure on Pferryn, even though he knows hes a goner! His fear makes him miss!
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Oops, my sheet is wrong. I have 1d6 for rogue level 1 and 1d6 for the feat Accomplished Sneak Attack. I'll update it.

Pferryn takes a step to the south and fires a ray of pure electricity at the purple pirate.

5' Step & cast Scorching Ray.

Scorching Ray vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 for fire damage of : 4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 3, 3) = 9

Mykel takes a slash at the fleeing man.

AoO: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 221d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 4 = 12
He then switches his focus to the last pirate
standing and readies to fend off any attacks..

attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 211d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 4 = 13p/r: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 281d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 121d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 4 = 13

Alaric and Thurismund begin running after the wayward pirate. Or perhaps it is more accurate to say that Thurismund, having snapped the neck of his first opponent then proceeds to run towards the fleeing pirate with a roar and garbled threats of bodily harm and Alaric follows so as to temper the phantom's anger.

"Begone you FOOL!"

Ashara casts cause fear on the last remaining pirate, DC as before

In the event pink isn't dead...

Fatham coordinates his attacks with Mykel to finish off a pirate.

+1 falcata: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 141d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
+1 white hair: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 181d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
grapple: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Mykel cuts down the fleeing and terrified pirate, while Pferryn lashes out with a scorching ray of fire. The ray burns a very neat hole in the mans chest, leaving him looking about with a suddenly confused look before he falls over backwards, dead.

Looking over the dead and dying, you are able to piece together a bit of loot. Weapons and armor are generic and standard for the area, but Lady Riverbane is a bit better equipped. In addition, you move over to the book she tossed into the mud and find it to be a rare copy of The Memoirs of the Silver Brotherhood, the book you were promised. Unfortunately, the rumored treasure vault seems to have been a smoke screen.

The two pirates you rescued inside the cavern tentatively look out, and when they see Riverbanes pirates lying dead they move towards you with relief and you begin your journey back to the Scrag Fisher.

Two pirates still on board the Scrag Fisher plead ignorance of their captain’s conspiracy and readily offer to bring the Pathfinders back to Deadbridge. Following an uneventful return trip, you meet again with the Black Marquis. The man listens to your tale with great interest and thanks you profusely. However, being the greedy pirate he is, Bazzak refuses to reward you beyond letting you keep what you looted.

“Such is the way of the River Kingdoms,” he declares. “If nothing else, your involvement in this affair helped free the region of a dangerous ettercap menace. Hopefully, that’s worth a quick mention in a Pathfinder Chronicle. No?”

As for Istivil Bosk, he is certainly disappointed by the turn of events but doesn’t hold it against you. He is pleased with the book you were able to claim, and the return journey to Absalom passes uneventfully and restfully.

"All's well that ends well... Even when you go searching for something only to discover it never was there to be found. At least we managed to save two souls from ending as spider chew and gave some villains their comeuppance" Ashara comments seraphically as the ship brings her and her friends back top Absalom.

Thanks for the game everyone!
