PBP GAMEDAY 2--Confirmation (Inactive)

Game Master Gilthanis

Roll would have been the same for me... bardic knowledge, only.

Z'hor'll, feeling inspired by the halfling's survival as well as her oratory moves up, and fires an arrow at the cube.
inspired attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 1 = 18 for inspired damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
"Hah! No cube of jelly gonna put me in his roll!"

As Rakessi crouches low and growls, Verrak gestures and mumbles briefly. From his outstretched hand, a yellow blob appears and shoots towards the blob

Acid Splash: 1d20 ⇒ 13 vs Touch (not sure if the +1 on attacks counts)
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Then he bolts down the side passage to allow others behind access

As Rakessi growls, he seems to be peering around Aldeath to see if he can make a running attack at the strange blob...

Delaying action until a charge/pounce is possible

Victoria is also delaying until rakessi goes so she does not block.

Adaeth steps to one side and allows Rakessi through. He then rummages in his belt for his alchemist fire.

As soon as the path is clear, Rakessi launches forward into a flurry of teeth and claws.

Pounce attack
Bite: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 1 = 22 - Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8
Claw 1: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 = 23 - Damage: 1d4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8
Claw 2: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 1 = 13 - Damage: 1d4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

Victoria will move up with her Glaive ready in the event the creature gets past Rakessi.

Still waiting on Rondo :) Then will post recap

Sorry, busy couple days at work

Rondo also pulls out a flask of alchemist's fire.

And readies to throw it for Rakeesi stepping out of the way.

Still in same round, right?

I think we're waiting on Stylz. There may be a little bit of a race condition going on as well... so, we should start moving forward IMHO

crazy busy lady couple days, update coming when at home. Sorry for the delay all, the ooze is still jiggling and wiggling

Rakessi, bounds forward, snarling. He leaps into the jiggling mass of goo and rips at it with all it might and takes a chunk of gooey mass as well. One presumes it has taken a lot if damage, but the overall consultancy of it doesn't reveal much information.

Z'hor and Verrak both take their own shots with their respective means of attack. Both attacks hit, but the amount of damage inflicted is unknown due to the gooeyness.

The blob, hungry and angry, as much as it can be lashes out at beast who has torn at it.

attack vs Rakesi AC 16: 1d20 ⇒ 11d4 + 1d4 ⇒ (2) + (1) = 3 slam+acid...if hit DC 20 fort save it paralyzed for 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 1) = 9 rounds

The ooze, small by the standards if it's kind, lashes out but due to its immature state, it just thrashes about wildly.
-----------
Round 2 go:
Party, ooze (27 damage taken)

Victoria moves up to help Rakessi

glaive, reach, bard, cover: 1d20 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 1 + 1 - 4 = 18 for dmg: 1d10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 + 1 = 12

Well that hits, but assuming no crit on a blob

With nothing better to do, Z'hor'll takes another shot.

bow shot: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 2 assuming you add the cover to AC, not that it matters!

ooze are not critted

Victoria, rushes up glaive in hand. She takes a powerful swing at the creature and easily connects. The blade, slices through the creature, and she wonder what her strike would do to such a non-jiggly creature. Nonetheless, her hawing is plenty to cause the ooze to dissolves into a puddle.

Meanwhile, Z'hor looses an arrow which sails far overhead and lands about 60 beyond the creature.

While the party takes care of the ooze between them and the strong voice beyond.

COMBAT OVER

Verrak slaps Victoria on the back. Good kill, friend!". He turns to and walks to Rakeesi, then kneels as he scratches behind the beasts eyes. "Yes, I know you did most of the work... " he says, affectionately.

"Let's not dawdle, here... it sounds like Janira needs our help!"

Z'hor'll quickly checks (perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10) to see if there is anything of note in the goo. He then starts down the tunnel, to find Janira.

Aldaeth follows.

Victoria follows, while stepping around the goo blob.

"Ewwww!"

Rakessi spits out ooze chucks while Victoria gingerly steps around the gunk on the ground. The group goes towards the passage of tunnel and as you approach the eastern end, you can hear Janera's voice, you continue along for another 120 feet of slick, twisting cavern tunnel and pop out into the bright sunlight overhead

After a few moments to become adjusted to the light, you hear Janira's inspiring words, as the legendary Gregaro Voth successfully battled the wild beasts in the deepest reaches of the Mwangi Expanse, so shall I defeat you, foul servant of Lamashtu!.

-----------------
Round 1:
Janira
Aldaeth
Rondo
Verrak & Rakessi
Mino
Victoria
Z'hor
Neh

Janira, continues to inspire herself, and coincidentally you as well. Seeing she is quicker than the giant cow, she takes a step back and attempts to remove the dangerous large battleaxe from her foes hands.

disarm: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Her attempts fails, miserably and she looks around hoping to find a glimpse of hope, but doesn't see anything.

Init tracker: round 1
Janira--disarm fail
Aldaeth--go
Rondo--go
Verrak & Rakessi--go
Mino
Victoria
Z'hor
Neh

map updated at top of page

Verrak and Rakeesi both take off at a sprint seeing Janira's peril. Verrak runs towards the log yelling to Janira to get over the river, but Rakessi bounds straight toward the lumbering creature.

Full round sprint for both. Verrak will get to the log, and Rakeesi will end one square before the river, so he get a running start for next rounds jump

Good idea BUT, you cannot run through difficult terrain AND you can only run in a strait line. Please rest on action or I presume you will each double move towards fight :)

posting ahead, but should not change anything.

Victoria will move (double) straight south from the cave, entering the underbrush.

"Hey bully! Leave her alone! "

Good idea BUT, you cannot run through difficult terrain AND you can only run in a strait line. Please rest on action or I presume you will each double move towards fight :)

Double move towards fight then please

Apologies, I didn't realise there was difficult terrain

Nehyril advances out of the cavern and blinks as his eyes adjust to the brighter light of day. Seven of them, one minotaur? Good. Vast difference between Janira and reinforcements? Not good.

Nehyril grits his teeth as he moves closer to the river. As he approaches, he lets loose an arrow from his bow. At least he might help provide the bard a nice distraction.

Arrow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 (+5 normal,+1 inspire courage, -2 for just outside of range increment) for damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Rondo moves towards Janira as quickly as possible.

Double move action.

Aldaeth closes as quickly as possible.

Init tracker: round 1
Janira--disarm fail
Aldaeth--moved
Rondo--moved
Verrak & Rakessi--moved
Mino--attacked Janira
Victoria--moved
Z'hor--
Neh--shot arrow

The group moves up, one by one. Wishing there weren't undergrowth and crap in the way of their final destination. Verrak curses as he wants to run through the brush, but realizes he will be unable to navigate a at such a pace as he wants and stops near the edge of the undergrowth.

The minotaur, laughs at the puny attempt to snatch his weapon and retaliates by raising it high in the air in an a attempt to squash the tiny threat before him.

axe: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 252d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 2) + 4 = 12

The axe, cuts deep into Janira's shoulder and you see a spray of blood gush. She falls to one knee at the force but slowly rises. You aren't sure if she could take another blow like that.

The remaining few of the party, still in momentary shock move up to face the beast. Nehyril moves up and let's loose an arrow. Between the distance to the beast, even if the size of a barn door, the arrow sails right over the creatures head, but it does get the beasts attention. And you can hear Janira's voice clear as she continues to rally her and her allies.

"Janira!!! Get out of there!"
Z'hor'll will move out of the cave, and then go straight south in a double move (which should get him to the edge of the brush).
"Hang in there!!! I have your wand, and will save you!"

Rondo continues to move towards Janira as quickly as possible.

2nd double move action

Huffing and puffing, Rondo gasps, "Rondo's short legs are not making this easy..."

Mid-stride, Rondo takes a deep breath and yells in Janira's direction, "Move towards the river, Janira.

Cor!

Nehyril continues to race forward as he notches another arrow. Firing it at the beast, he calls out to it.

"Hey, you overgrown sow! Let's see how you dance. I'm in the mood for beef tonight!"

Shot the seocnd: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 for damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Init tracker: round 2
Janira--tanglefoot bag
Aldaeth--go
Rondo--moved
Verrak & Rakessi--go
Mino--(-2 atk & -4 dex for 4 rounds)
Victoria--
Z'hor--
Neh--shot arrow (pre-post)

Janira, looks around to see what has the foul beasts attention, happy to see her students coming to her aid. She decides to take one last attempt at slowing down the beast before retreating. She takes a single step backwards, and throws a bag at the swine hoping to slow it down just enough for her to make an escape.

tangle bag: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 vs AC 9
cow reflex save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 vs DC 15

She throws a bag and it bursts all over the minotaur's legs and feet. Despite its size, it manages to elude the worst of it, but is still hindered by its general gooey nature of the contents.

bag duration: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

Rakessi attempts to cross the river in one bound...

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

He lands and continues to run towards the giant beast, and snaps his jaws at his arm as he closes...

Bite Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 Bite Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

I assume that acrobatics check gets him across the river :)

Verrak continues to sprint towards the monster, slowing down only slightly as he tries to cross the log

another double move, getting as close to the minotaur as possible

Acrobatics: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 12

AOO on Rakessi: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 202d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 6) + 4 = 13

dont know where Rakessi was but sure he jumps the river with ease. The only reason I mention it is because Rakessi cannot run thru the green undergrowth

Rakessi, rushes towards Janira. Verrak commands his companion to attack the large beast. His hopes are to draw attention away from Janira. Rakessi leaps across the river with ease but the Minotaur seems to be waiting and takes a mighty swing. It easily connects with the enemy and rips through it. Rakessi, simply vanishes and leaves the material plane.

The difficult terrain begins with the green undergrowth, right? Either way, Rondo will need at least another full round move action.

Rondo keeps moving toward Janira as fast as possible.

Z'hor'll seems to be running in slow motion, waiting for what will happen as we all wait for the Minotaur to swing once more at Janira... or will he turn to Rakessi as the larger threat. 'What is Aldeath doing' he wonders... hoping the the GM will put the Aasamir into delay, or "bot" him, while we all wait. He thinks fondly about how he'll be displaying the minotaur's "horn" after this fight!

Init tracker: round 2

waiting on Aldaerh to post..will DMPC when I get home if no action taken. Sorry bout the wait guys

dmpc as aldaeth

Aldaeth will double move closer to battle

The Minotaur give a laugh as the four legged beast tries to Harte in for an attack and easily crushes it with its axe. He sees the others gaining ground and tries to fire Janira, to eliminate a threat he he facing.

gore: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 151d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Adaeth closes again casting Bless.

map updated to where i think everyone should be :)

Z'hor'll moves up, positioning himself for the leap across the water. 'Gotta get close to that thing, but not too close. Maybe I can disarm it with a burst of water?' using Hydraulic bBurst and Hydraulic Maneuver

"Hey, you big bovine oaf! Pick on someone your own size. Like, not one of us, you imbecilic flea-brain! Wait, no, I've fought a flea, and it had more brains than you have! Your mother wore horse-shoes!" He hopes that the taunts will be understood. If so, he thinks a big cow-thing will be laughing, soon.

Victoria will again double move to the rivers edge, ready to cross next time.

"Hold on Janira, help is on the way!. "

She had moved the first round so should have been into the rough brush at the start of the round.

Victoria, you will be with Aldaeth essentially, unless I am missing something?

The Minotaur, tries to gore the troublesome halfling and end her puny life. The combination of the tar-like goo and Janira's nimbless she narrowly escapes the bovines pointy horns.

The stragglers continue to move up, heavy armor limiting Victoria while Z'hor moves and calls forth his heritage and shoots a blast of water at the pissed off bull, but it splashes harmlessly on his hands. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Neh, moves up and takes aim and fires another arrow. This time, being closer makes a big difference as the arrow strikes the cow in the leg. It still stands, but it certainly has its attention grabbed.

Janira, laughs at the bull and leaves, being careful to evade the creatures reach.

Janira will use withdraw action

-----
Init tracker: round 3
Janira--withdraw
Aldaeth--go
Rondo--go
Verrak--go
Mino--(-2 atk & -4 dex for 3 rounds) (8 dam taken)
Victoria--
Z'hor--
Neh--

Aldaeth moves to the current location on the map.

This is a tough fight to bridge in terms of distance

heavier armor does have drawbacks ;)

As Rakessi fades from this plane, the tattoo on Verraks face slowly dims.

"You will pay for that, creature!" He steps back chants and gestures, and the air between the minotaur and Janira shimmers. An eagle comes into being, screeches and lunges at the minotaur.

Trying to buy everyone else a chance to get here

5ft step back and Cast Summon Monster I(Summoner version) - creature lasts for 6 rounds

Talon 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 : Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Talon 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 : Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 : Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

I'll use Rakessi's icon to save time :)

Hi everyone. I wanted to try my hand at PFS DMing and I figured what better chance than now with the PbP Gameday 2 coming up.

The game I chose is Confirmation. Solely because I can replay it many times, and I think it is the easiest for me to get a grasp of PFS DMing so I don't get overwhelmed.

Recruitment starts now, the game will start the Monday on the 7th, and end before July 5th...otherwise I have EPIC failed :)

Posting for this Character.

First steps only.

Have played it once before but want to take advantage of its evergreen quality.

I am in will post character in a jiff

well I got 2 out of 4...at least I know I am not screwed since there is a month wait time...waiting sooo suuucckkkksss lol

I'd like to sign up with this character.
Half-elf summoner lvl 1.

Currently in Prince of Augustana, but that should be finished this month, soon i expect.
Another DM's thread is stuck, so spreading my chances.

withdrawing, i've got a spot in another confirmation.

Submitting Cleric 1 for consideration.

@ Victoria: Stats aren't there, just make sure they are there by gameday and you're in

Aldaeth and Scott (once a PFS guy is submitted) are both in.

So barring any dropouts, 3/4 are filled. Will take up to 6 total :)

Yep. Just fine tuning the build before posting stats. Will be there this week. :-)

I personally don't care when they go up, so long as I have enough time to double check it is all :)

If there's space, I'd like to join with my Summoner if that's ok?

Half Elf Summoner for consideration :) Please ignore my above post (Nuggs)

If there is room, I'll have something ready by the time the game day starts. Not a clue as to what it will be, but if I am accepted, I'll build something that would round out the group.

Haven't played a Bard yet... maybe I'll do something with my Undine boon to make a Watersinger!

FYI - I have both played and GMed this. Since this can be replayed as many times as you like, I am stating this for disclosure (in case anyone would be uncomfortable with that fact).

I have played a couple times and first time DMing so I trust you :)

Verrak and Silbeg are both in.

That brings the total up to 5/6

Cool. Now, I need to build me an undine watersinger.

Stylz, would you mind listing out the confirmed characters/players?

Thank you!

So, IIRC and read the posts correct. Projected lineup stands as:

1. Aasimar war priest
2. Aasimar cleric
3. Verrak half-elf summoner
4. Sibeg (Undine sorcerer?)
5. Scott (??)
6.

I've heard great things about this scenario and would love to give it a go. A half-Elf Ranger over here. I can make an alias later today.

So, IIRC and read the posts correct. Projected lineup stands as:

1. Aasimar war priest
2. Aasimar cleric
3. Verrak half-elf summoner
4. Sibeg (Undine sorcerer?)
5. Scott (??)
6. Zoomba with half-elf ranger

So barring any drop-outs table is full :)

If you open the discussion thread we can post on that and it will show up on the players campaign tab. We can track the game from there and log in for the game day April 5th

Watersinger is an Undine bard archetype. However, I've been doing some thinking, and he might end up being a "switch hitter" ranger. Still debating. Still pretty open on concepts (have the boon, but need to make it worth playing).

If someone has a strong preference, I can build him towards that way (since I can always rebuild later, before I play at 3+ xp).

And that is Silbeg (not Sibeg) ;)

Looking forward to it! (Zoomba)

1. Aldaeth with aasimar war priest
2. Victoria with aasimar cleric
3. Verrak with half-elf summoner
4. Silbeg with (Undine sorcerer?)
5. Scott (??)
6. Zoomba with half-elf ranger

Discussion/gameplay are up if you wish to dot :)

Opening up recruitment for 1 more player if anyone is interested. Got 5 total and need 1 more :)

I might be interested. Level 2 Magus, is that permissible?

I might be interested. Level 2 Magus, is that permissible?

The confirmation is replayable once as a 2nd level character with only one PFS character so this would be your one replay. If that is what you wanna do, then join in on the game.

If not then I will take the second person that posted with their PFS character :)

Alwayz willin to make sum klank. Count me in. (character sheet on profile) lvl 1 half orc rogue

I'm a bit confused- I've never done this session before. The GMs in my local PFS area have been on a year 0 mod kick.

If I recall correctly, The Confirmation is replay able unlimited times as a 1st level character and once as a 2nd level character. If I am wrong please someone let me know :)

No, you are correct, sir.

If I recall correctly, The Confirmation is replay able unlimited times as a 1st level character and once as a 2nd level character. If I am wrong please someone let me know :)

Ah, I thought you were implying I've already done it once.

I've done some thinking, though, and it's probably best to let that guy take his gnome in, then. I've got other level 1 characters but I'd rather just focus on this one. Thank you for being understanding and I hope I did not take up your time!

Sent a pm...if no answer in a day it so I may just roll with 5 peeps unless I can fill it quickly. If I get done with my first DM PFS quick enough I may try another for the gameday :)
