PFS 1-55: The Infernal Vault PbP (Inactive)

Game Master Chaosorbit

Braoin sneaks up to look through the window for a good object to use prestidigitation on.
?

Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Braoin steps on a cat, trips into a stack of corrugated tin sheets, before landing on a pair of cymbals.

As a cover, he immediately begins to act drunk.

Assuming I am with him

Kazbaz stumbling, says You think that Orc lady was really into me?

Slurring and too loud, Hah! A li'l thing like you couldn't handle an Orc woman! She'd break you in 'alf!

Moments later a human face appears in the window, staring down at you. The face is all you can make, he has short black hair, black eyes, and a scruffy goatee.

Braoin and Kazbaz make bluff checks to see how well you play drunk.

Bluff: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0

stalks around the side of the building and knocks on the front door hello? Mind if I come in? There are a couple of creepy characters out here, I'd like to wait a bit for them to move on

looks at Diminiative 'ey, DD any ideal wat'z going on? Can we kill zomething yet?

I'll recap a little bit.

Braoin and Kazbaz attempt to sneak around the side of the building to "haunt" the house. Unfortunately, Braoin isn't very stealthy and steps on a cat, attracting the attention of a man inside the house.

At this point Braoin and Kazbaz begin to act like a couple of drunk guys, however Braoin is not convincing, a little too sober for your typical half-orc.

Dresden sensing the danger in the bluff, attempts his(?) own bluff by knocking on the front door.

Eskis, Diminian, and Carerris wait for an opportunity to spring into action

Is Dresden a guy or girl? Character info says M, but picture looks like a lady.

Need a bluff check from Kazbaz and Dresden

Okay I posted a map, it's link here and above

We will also go into initiative order at this point, it is common pbp practice for the DM to roll for everyone's initiative to save some time. So I will here:

Braoin: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Carerris: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Diminian: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Dresden: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Eskis: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Kazbaz: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Goatee Man: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Card Cheatin' Man: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

We will act in initiative blocks, so any time your name is bold you may post your action(s), if we need to adjust based on what someone else does then we will.

Kazbaz also moves 15 feet toward the door.

Jon made the character but I stole it, its a girl now, the character info is wrong....because i say so?

Readies Mo for a charge and gives him a plug of tobacco so he can ready his spit. lance at the ready.

Kazbaz does a better job of faking drunk and moves toward the door. Dresden hears floorboards squeak on the other side of the door.

Dresden can take other actions, than just a bluff if she wants.

Bold folks plus Dresden can act.

Braoin continues to act drunk (poorly), but discretely readies his crossbow to fire at the man in the window.

Diminian aims at the door
Readied action to shoot at anyone enemy who comes out of the door with my long bow

Eskis and Diminian ready actions. Braoin also readies his crossbow as he continues to act drunk. Braoin sees the man looking at him out the window talking to the other man somewhere inside.

There are two over here, a drunk gnome and a 'alf orc prentin' to be drunk. Probably, about to fleece the 'lil guy. The gnomes movin' around to the front. I don't like the look of 'um, don't open that door.

He continues to watch.

Bolds are up.I move Eskis to be in line to charge the door. I assume that's where you would want to be, if not you should be able to move your token around. If not let me know.

Kazbaz delays.

Carerris makes sure she's in view of the man through the window and readies her long bow. Assuming I'm close enough, if not I move close enough to see the man through the window.

Braoin and Carreris are waiting for the front door opens (one way or another) before shooting the guy in the window.

Dresden is up

gives annoyed look over to dresden

dresden probably has mono and is watching the kids and getting ready for Christmas. Please bear with her lack of dedication

Yeah it's fine. Mono -- oh no. We are under no time limit. No worries.

exasperated sigh dresden points her quarterstaff towards the door then tries to kick it down while making ready a flare for the moment the card players appear.

strength: 1d20 ⇒ 12
(+2 crowbar sorry forgot)

The others ready actions as Dresden retrieves her crowbar from her pack, jamming the crowbar into the door and pressing against it.

CRACK!

The door busts open. A tall man stands beyond, short sword in hand, a chain shirt visible beneath a loose fitting red shirt. He has dark hair and eyes and a devious look on his face.

Dresden can't use Flare yet as breaking open the door was a standard action.

Broain, Diminian, Carerris, and Eskis(and Mo) can all use your readied actions. Kazbaz can come out of delay as well.

Upon hearing Dresden break the door down, Braoin snaps his heavy crossbow up to his shoulder and fires,

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

[dice=""threat"]1d20+2[/dice]

damage: 1d10 ⇒ 3

crit: 1d10 ⇒ 5

Kazbaz comes off delay.

Kazbaz speaks in a strange language Могу се светла на небу те мучи. Casts dancing lights in the square behind the guy at the door to look like a humanoid.

Diminian fires his bow as the man appears in the doorway
attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

do i have line of sight for a charge?

No as Dresden is in your way.

Waiting on carerris readied action then we will move on.

Sorry, forgot she had. I thought we were waiting on eskis, for whatever reason.

Carerris fires her longbow.

hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6(+1 if within 30 feet)

damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3(+1 if within 30 feet)

Dresden releases a flare of blinding purple light through the doorway then steps aside five feet flare: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

do i get my delayed now?

Braoin carefully focuses on the man in the window, as soon as Dresden opens the door, he raises his crossbow and fires. Aiming well the glass shatters, and the arrow lodges with force into the man's neck. He howls in pain and surprise.

Carerris fires an arrow at the man, as well, but her shot hits one of bars on the window missing it's quarry.

Diminian fires at the man at the front door, but his arrow whizzes over Dresden head and into the door frame. Eskis continues to wait for a chance to drive Mo into a charge, but can't as Dresden stands in the way.

Unfortunately, Dresden isn't up yet.

Kazbaz leaps into action creating an illusory form behind the man.

Either not noticing or realizing the Dancing lights pose no threat, the man lashes out at Dresden with his short sword.

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Slashing Dresden across the stomach.
21 hits AC for 4

Bolds are up in round 2

Diminian fires at the man in the door
attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 131d8 ⇒ 4

Braoin sprints to the window, braces himself, and heaves on the bars.

strength: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Braoin sprints to the window, braces himself, and pulls the bars from the window with ease.

Beefiest wizard ever!

Diminian fires another arrow, but has trouble finding the correct angle to avoid Dresden, but still hit the target and again misses high.

Eskis and Mo are up.

Eskis looks for his lance, and gives up and grabs his sword instead.
delayed until after dresden moves out of my way; then i charge

Eskis continues to wait, itching for a fight.

The man in the window looks shocked as the robed half-orc makes easy work of the window bars. Already injuried he stabs wildly with his short sword through the window.

attack on Braoin: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

But his attack is less than precise and he narrowly misses the wizard.

Dresden steps aside and casts flare.

So not sure what the d20 roll was for Dresden, Flare doesn't require an attack role, was that a concentration check? If so, just curious where the +8 came from. Needless to say casting flare right in front of the guy will provoke an attack of opportunity, but 5 foot stepping first, then casting won't. So I assume you would want to do that.

Fort Save v. Flare at DC14: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

As the flash of light goes off, the man is able to shield his eyes.
