[PBP Gameday IV]1-29: Devil We Know, Part 1-Shipyard Rats (Inactive)

Game Master Crashwheeler

Nachts gives the slaves assembled in the holds a long, uncomfortable once-over before heeding the good doctor's words and walking back up to check on things above.

Perception check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Gives praise to the dice roller's dead body in the name of the midnight lord.

After he's done searching, the doctor guides the soon-to-be slaves to the upper deck.

Right. Gentlemen, Apprentice. Bird. This is no longer an in & out. We have to get these hostages to safety at once! I suppose cassomir's harbor watch will do.

perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 Alistair looks around for any thing useful
and must be blind....Well that's the luck of the dice

Fable's feathers seem a bit ruffled after the doctor's statement, and he angrily disappears into a fold of Netissys' hood.

What an ass, I expected nothing less from the likes of him. Tengu are NOT birds, they are an ill-mannered bunch of thieves who have fallen from the majesty of the skies who WISH they were birds. How dare he honor him with such a title as BIRD!

To Gibbs, before he disappears:
"I apologize for our associate, I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it."

"That's an excellent idea doctor, let's vacate as soon as possible."

"Don't apologize, it's a sign of weakness." The tone is gruff and unapologetic as the tengu gives Fable a squinting look, before shrugging. I'm sure there's something to it, but shorthand is as good as anything. Let's get moving, folks, as soon as we can see what we can see.

I heard that. I was referring to you, not Gibbs, bird. Gibbs is a valued and useful member of our society, bird, and it would pain me greatly to think that you would think less of him. Shame on you.

(To Nerissys:)

I'm sure you'll be able to keep your pet under control from now on? Can you not see his vocal utterings cause much dismay? Keep its ego under control, or our friend Nachts will have to have a word with him. Understood?

Having had enough of the bickering, Rathor hisses, "Enough! It's time to act like professionals. Save your jeers and your threats for your own time. For right now, at least, you're all Pathfinders and should act accordingly." Peeking out over the edge of the stairwell, he scans the top deck with his darkvision, searching for any movement in the night. "Steel yourselves and get ready to move!"

Wait, it's nighttime?

The doctor sniggers and shrugs, but follows suit.

Sorry for the delay. The Perception checks were to hear the bad girl on the deck but I was too slow to update. So let's do this instead.
Yes, it is nighttime.
A woman approaches the deck with one shambling humanoid? next to her.

First Round

Zombie
Rathor
Luscilia
Dr. Nimblefingers
Nerissys

I've loaded the map three times, I'm not seeing the woman, only a zombie. This seems to be a thing that's been happening lately, not just in this thread.

Spending Grit to resolve vs. Touch AC

MWK Underwater Light Crossbow on Woman(Touch, into melee?): 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 7 - 4 = 211d8 ⇒ 1

The tengu will let a bolt fly at the woman, then take a few steps back while quickly reloading and preparing for the next shot on her.

5' move, reload

As Nachts eyes the woman approaching the ship he chuckles at the exchange. "Why would I ... NEED to talk ... to the pretty bird's bird? They are ... beautiful. The light ... FOR MY shadow to ... exist in. Besides; they ... are ... Pathfinders like me; I ... exist ... to inflict my gifts upon ... THOSE ... who oppose us. But the ... farmer ... is RIGHT. DEBATES ... can be held ... later."

Knowledge:Religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

"And she brought ... a zombie! Tut-tut-...tut" he adds as his grin turns feral. "I will ... ENJOY ... making your ... final moments... Memorable."

Without waiting further, Nachts moves up and spins his weapon before slashing at the undead's neck.

Glaiving it away! (Power Attack): 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 - 1 = 8
Damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Not seeing a woman either; you aren't the only one.

Ok, the woman is there now. I must have forgotten to add her to the map.

Alistair stands around, thinking about what he should do. Delay.
Taking a step toward Nachts, the zombie lets out with two strikes. Slam 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 Slam 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

First Round

Rathor

Second Round
Zykon
Nachts
Zombie

Rathor rushes forward, pushing past his allies as he begins to grow in size. When he finally arrives near the woman, he is huge, bringing his massive longsword around in a wide arc.

Swift action to enlarge. 5/6 rounds left today.

Large longsword attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 Fingers crossed that hits her flat-footed AC!
Large longsword damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5) + 3 = 9

Alistair fires a arrow at the zombie hit: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 - 1 = 3 I'm using deadly aim
damage: 1d8 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 3 = 8

The woman leans back a little to let the large sword pass harmlessly in front of her. She then takes a step away from Rathor, looks at him and says "Blind." Fort Save DC 14 or be blinded.

First Round

Nerissys

Second Round
Zykon
Nachts
Zombie
Alistair
Rathor

Do I get an attack of opportunity since she's casting a spell and still within my 10 foot reach?

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Move Action 5' Step back to 'clear sight line'.

The tengu licks the back of his right thumb and makes an adjustment to the sight on the back of his well-crafted crossbow, lining up a shot on the caster, taking a deep breath and letting the shot go.

Spending Grit to resolve against Touch AC

MWK UW Crossbow (On caster) vs. Touch AC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 231d8 ⇒ 3

Yes, Rathor. Let loose. :)

The doctor quickly steps behind Rathor, Hiding behind his left left. He then proceeds to cast a spell, murky shadows swirling around his hand as he sows the somatic components together.

Cast Cause Fear on the woman (DC17 Will or be frightened for 1d4 ⇒ 1 rounds, shaken for 1 round if she makes the save.)

Zombies!? Ugh, I hate zombies!

Rathor growls, "Hey, knock that off!"

Longsword attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Longsword damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 4) + 3 = 12

If the caster is down, I'll be shooting at the zombie

Seeing the caster, Nerissys does her best to steady her hands and fill her with a crossbow bolt.

Attack;Damage: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 61d8 ⇒ 8 We have all been on fire with these attack rolls! XD

The bolt flies wide and off into the darkness of the surrounding waters.

Damn, I really should have practiced more with this thing. I'll have to talk to Gibbs for some tips, he seems to be pretty good at it.

Nachts takes a five foot step back as he laughs maniacally. "YES, resist! There is no ... PAIN .. without struggle." he chokes out as he takes advantage of his reach to run the undead through it's rotting skull.

Glaive Attack, Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 - 1 + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d10 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 3 = 10

Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
The lady is struck with a bolt and fear. Nachts glaive goes over the zombie's head, the zombie takes a step forward and lets loose with another couple of attacks on Nachts, landing with the second one. Slam 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 Slam 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 201d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Can someone move Rathor one space east? Thanks!

Rathor maneuvers to flank the woman and slashes at her again.

Longsword attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Longsword damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4) + 3 = 9

A 23 doesn't hit against touch AC? Wow, this caster woman is insanely hard to hit.

"sky father guide my shot

Alistair fires at the woman trying to hit her leg hit chance: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

A 23 doesn't hit against touch AC? Wow, this caster woman is insanely hard to hit.

The lady is struck with a bolt

You got her.

Sorry for not posting more, holding on results, hoping this didn't fall off my sessions list?

Didn't fall off. I just haven't gotten many chances to get on lately and update.

The lady turns around and runs down the dock with fear after getting hit by Rathor.

Second Round

Nerissys

Third Round

Nachts
Zombie
Alistair
Rathor
Luscilia

Any chance that provokes another attack of opportunity from Rathor's 10 foot reach?

Yes, I believe so, since she is going through your reach to get to the dock.

Rathor tries to slash at the woman as she makes her escape.

Longsword attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Longsword damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3) + 3 = 7

After this, letting enlarge person wear off.

Does she provoke from me?

The doctor just stands where he stood, smiling. A creepy reflection hides his eyes behind his glasses.

Pretty sure I'm up. If not, this will be my next turn.

Scrambling to reload and make up for her mistake, Nerissys pulls back the lever to arm the crossbow and fires.

Attack;Damage: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 191d8 ⇒ 1

The bolt grazes the woman's (or zombie's if she is out of range/no longer a target) shoulder.

"I ACTUALLY HIT SOMETHING!"

The doctor chuckles and Nerissys' attempt to shoot the zombie.

Like a wise man once said; "It is better to shoot than to have not tried at all." In this case, I prefer spells. Spells that do not require me to make my hands dirty by carrying a weapon. Spells, that will forever be more powerful than any and all physical strength. Learns spells, Nerissys... and you'll never have to worry about hitting something again.

Gibbs raises the crossbow over his head as he lines up a shot on the fleeing woman.

MWK UW Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 171d8 ⇒ 7

Unfortunately, with the side of the boat in the way it's not able to get a clean shot in.

"She knows something!"

If we weren't in the middle of a fight right now...

Nachts' gaze shifts from the undead he has been trying to dispatch for the past few seconds to the retreating woman's figure and sighs. "You ... won't get .. AWAY so .. easy."

He drops his glaive and draws his bow, sighting her and lets loose.

Fly true little arrow!: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

The arrow misses, and by a long shot. Nachts growls and this time, even through the smile, one can tell that his temper is running short.

Sorry about the wait. Here goes another round.
BTW, the answer was no, Nachts.
The bolt from Nerissys skins the woman's shoulder.
The zombie takes another 5 ft step toward Nachts and attacks, both attacks going wide. Slam 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 Slam 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

charge attack with flank: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
large longsword damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2) + 3 = 7

Done!

Alistair tries to figure out who he should shoot at while from the dock the footsteps of the lady start coming back and a "Grrahh!" is heard, followed by negative energy coming at Zykon and Rathor dealing Channel Energy: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11 Will Save DC 12 for half damage.

Rathor growls at the woman and cringes through the wave of negative energy.

Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Nachts shakes his head as he drops his bow, picks up his glaive and moves towards the woman.

Provoking an AoO.

"Yes... Come here and ... let me ... SHOW ... you why Urgathoa's children ... are so weak compared to ... the servants of ... my ... LORD"

AoO: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
You weren't close enough for the negative energy, Nachts.

Will Save(DC12): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

The tengu's feathers ruffle a bit as a bit of a grunt emanates from him in response to the negative energies surging forth.

He takes a deep breath, lets it out, and fires.

Spending Grit to resolve against Touch AC

MWK UW Light Crossbow(Vs. Touch): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 251d8 ⇒ 1

*headdesk*

Also on my phone, would somebody move me to the bottom left of Rathor please?

Seeing the wave of negative energy wash over some of her party members, Nerissys moves to the middle of the group and raises her holy symbol of Nethys.

Channel Positive Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 3

A pulse of white light radiates from the mask, easing some of the wounds they just recieved.

Edit:Selective Channel to omit the baddies. Thanks for the move! Nice damage roll there Gibbs ;)
