PFS 03-14 - Wonders in the Weave II (Snakes in the Fold, Tier 5-9) (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

Qadathra uses his magic to create the sound of roaring lizardfolk, crunching wood, and jangling coins to the south, toward the sorting bay.

Ghost sound, DC 13 Will save to disbelieve.

Vladek Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Vladek tries to make himself inconspicuous, but there isn't particularly anywhere to hide.

Baldwyn moves up to try to block the men from taking the eggs deeper into the caves.

Knowing that pathfinders tend not to be the stealthy folk, Razmand refrain from trying to sneak by himself. Instead, he looks at the event unfolding before him, like a teacher watching his pupils learn new skills. He remains at the back, cautiously pondering for quick and silent methods to get rid of the pest-like Aspis agents.

"Most curious the archers have not spotted us yet," he says in a hushed tone, "but as they are Aspis agents, we have little choice but to end their lives where they stand. I suggest a swift execution. Vladek, in case you are able, silence would be very welcome."

Sorry if I was not clear enough. There are no eggs any more. The eggs were taken away some time ago. The men are here to guard the entrance to the next chamber.

Perception red: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

Will vs. DC13 red: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Will vs. DC13 blue: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Vladek tries to make some noise of a big lizardfolk army entering the cave, but the guards heard a lot of lizard noise in the past and immediately notice that the sound isn't real. And finally they spot Vladek behind a small stone.

"Stop there, or you'll regret!" one of the twins shouts and takes his bow to ready an arrow. So does the other twin.

Razmand figured as much, the stealthy operation failed. It wasn't the first time, and will definitely not be the last. Knowing that he is nigh useless in combat, he gives out a prayer of Asmodeus to everyone.

Bless for everyone.

Baldwyn steps closer to the nearest man, still out of reach, and readies to trip him if he approaches.
"Drop your bows, keep blades tucked away, and stand down. Ya got me?" he warns.

Ramesses is not sure what to do se he just waits to see what happens. delay Razmand casts a spell while Baldwyn warns the men.

"Your journey ends here!" one of the twins shouts back before releasing an arrow at Baldwyn. The other twin does the same.

Vladek responds with a gentle, sad smile.
"Oh, you poor stupid man."

Red needs to make a DC 21 Will save or suffer 2 rounds of Misfortune.

Qadathra glides off Vladek's shoulder and blasts the man in the face with a throatful of sparkling vapors.

Why so serious?

Red also gets a faceful of Euphoria Breath.

rounds of inappropriate levity on a failed DC 15 (I believe) Fortitude save: 1d6 ⇒ 3
rounds before Qadathra can do it again in any case: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Ramesses will move up and lob a bomb at red. Attack vs touch: 1d20 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 3 = 181d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 Swift Action Judgement(Justice)

Qadathra's Reflex save, Improved Evasion: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 That probably does it....

Zorro moves towards blue and then flings his chakram at him

Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 fail
Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 success

Vladek hexes the man with misfortune before he sends his tiny dragon up to the man. The dragon breathes at the archer, but the man seems to have a cold and does not smell the breath. Ramesses lobs a bomb at the same guy, hitting him directly. Also Zorro's chakram hits the target.

Razmand figures the archers work as target practise. He takes out his repeating crossbow and makes a warning shot at the blue archer.

Mwk darkwood repeating heavy crossbow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 151d10 ⇒ 3

Shrugging off the damage as a scratch, Baldwyn steps up and swings at the man.
"Wrong choice!"

Power Attack: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 1 = 32
Damage: 1d10 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20

Power Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d10 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29

Razmand releases a bolt at one of the archers, but the bolt is somehow redirected by the waterfall's spray. Baldwyn steps up to the archer in blue and attacks. While the first attack hits, the second is not precise enough to do any damage.

The archers continue to shoot arrows.
blue vs. Baldwyn: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

Razmand shrugs. Better just keep doing this, maybe one day he'll hit.

Forgot my own bless from my last shot...

Mwk darkwood repeating heavy crossbow + bless: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 = 201d10 ⇒ 7 @Red

The mocking, whimsical voice continues to echo in the archer's head:

I beg your pardon - 'beast?' DRAGON!

Qadathra flits backward and blasts the rude little man with a miniscule binary star system...

magic missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 3) + 2 = 6

...while Vladek just gives him a Look.

Evil Eye; make a DC 21 Will save or suffer -4 to attack rolls for 1 minute (10 rounds), or just 1 round on a successful save.

As the man shoots his bow, Baldwyn reaches out to trip him!
AoO trip: 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 18 + 2 + 1 = 22 Nat 1. Sad day.

Upon his go, Baldwyn swings again a couple of times at the archer before him.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 14 + 1 = 25
Damage: 1d10 + 19 ⇒ (9) + 19 = 28

Zorro moves into the flanking position with Baldwyn and says"You will regret stealing these eggs you stupid people"

Razmand shoots a bolt at one of the archers, but the bolt hits the wall behind the man. Another magic missile hits the archer next to the dragon while Vladek has an evil look at thim. Baldwyn's attempt to trip the man while he's shooting arrows fails, but the attack attempt hits. Ramesses charges the remaining archer, but his attack is not precise enough. Zorro's attack hits the remaining archer.
Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

The Aspis agent takes a step to the side and shoots an arrow at Zorro, but the arrow goes wide and hits the wall bhind Baldwyn.

Baldwyn wades through the shallow water to take a powerful swing at the remaining archer!

Damage: 1d10 + 1d10 + 19 ⇒ (3) + (3) + 19 = 25
Felling Smash trip vs CMD: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19

It's a sharp blow, to be sure, but when Baldwyn tries to turn the hit into a trip, it's him who falls over!

If the archer is still up, Ramesses will continue his attack, turning his miss into a deadly stroke. Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 222d6 + 13 ⇒ (4, 5) + 13 = 22

Qadathra's magic missile wand: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Baldwyn's arrow hits the remaining archer in the chest and Ramesses' stroke and Razmand's attack does the rest. The archer drops into the water.

combat over, Vladek can save his wand charge

Beyond the Muckmouth tribe’s incubation pool lies another chamber. A glittering mosaic sprawls across the cave floor in a moat of incandescent light. These mottled patterns of radiance undulate in an endless cascade of glorious color. Some sort of door, almost completely lost in the blaze of light, sits recessed in the far wall. Several reptile eggs are placed in a corner of the room. In front of the wall a woman and two snakes are waiting for intruders, they attack.

Razmand peeks around the corner to see the enemies in the cave. "What a surprise," he mutters nonchalantly, shaking his head. "Zorro, do what you do best to that lady over there." Razmand pats the man on the shoulder, and poof he turns invisible.

"And don't bother sticking your rapier into those adamantine cobras. Which brings me another point." Razmand pulls out his own magic, adamantine morningstar and holds it out for anyone to grab along and use it better than he could. "You're welcome."

Cast invisibility on Zorro. Draw weapon, keep it ready for an ally to take.

Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Razmand identifies the snakes and offers his weapon to anybody while casting a spell on Zorro.

One of the cobras moves up to Baldwyn and tries to bite him.

After his attacks, he hops back.

Thank you!

Zorro swings at the construct to his feet and hits it twice, making some major dents in the snake's body.

The woman in the back of the room takes a potion from her belt and drinks it. She starts to disappear.

The woman in the back of the room takes a potion from her belt and drinks it. She starts to disappear.

"Starts to?" Is she still partially visible?

she was partially visible for one standard action and is invisible now

Ramesses will take the Morningstar from Razmand, and strike the cobra.
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 261d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Ramesses takes Razmand's morningstar and strikes the cobra. He hits, but even an adamantine weapon does not destroy the snake's hull. sorry, it's DR/-, not hardness

Vladek strokes Qadathra's wings as he speaks in a soft unnatural tongue, and suddenly, all around them is deathly silence. Qadathra disappears (greater invisibility faerie dragon spell-like ability) and flies off, taking the silence with him...to near next to where the...serpentsmith?...was standing.

does somebody want to bot Baldwyn?

Note that silence's casting time is 1 round.

Crap, I keep forgetting that. In that case, Qadathra casts shield on himself this turn and will do what I said he does next turn.

Vladek casts a shield spell on himself while Baldwin strikes at the snake again.
Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31
Damage: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Vladek casts a shield spell on himself while Baldwin strikes at the snake again.

No, Qadathra casts a shield spell on himself while I cast a silence spell on him, which will be complete when it comes to my turn this round.

Just so you know, Zorro isn't invisible anymore. He attacked, and thus lost his invisibility.

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Razmand is surprised to see the cobras target him, and takes a step back. He activates his judgment and begins to heal a little.

Lacking anything better, Razmand casts another bless.

Yes, sorry. That happens when posting shortly before midnight...

The cobra with the blue sign bites Baldwyn, but the snake's teeth don't pierce through Baldwyn's armor.

Botting Zorro because this is going nowhere.

"Hahaw!" Zorro exclaims, holding his rapier on point, trying to poke new holes into the adamantine cobra.

Zorro will try and parry and riposte attacks he faces, but I'm not familiar with the swashbuckler rules nor how many panache points he has left.

Zorro continues to poke holes into the adamantine cobra. The first attempt hits, but the dent is small.

You hear Durra moving around in the cave and she mumbles a few words.
