Game Master Aerondor

Darius turns beet red for a moment as he confuses Calder with Bristor. "Ah, yes. Well. I was referring to... er, mind the pool of mud, I think it's quicksand. Er, quickmud. Let's walk around it." Darius quickly switches subjects.

Soothe on Flint: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
He places his hand of Flint's shoulder to ease the paladin's bruise from the fall. "That should do. I'll continue searching for traps."

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 Still embarrassed, Darius isn't really paying attention.

"Thank you. Now, let's be done with this place."

Bristor and Flint heal the worst of their wounds.

Aside from the dangerous stairs to the west, there are holes in the walls, and a porch to the east.

Look at the map and let me know where you are heading

Abstain, I know this scenario well.

Calder moves inside and to the left, continuing to move slowly and carefully as he does so.

Still Sneaking, so I'm guessing I don't get a new stealth roll or a perception check unless prompted, right?

Calder slips into the old inn. The drinking halls floor is decaying, and its furnature is in ruins. Several shadowy figures rise up out of the mist!

damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
bite: 1d20 ⇒ 7[/spoiler]

A wave of negative energy flows out of the building, hitting all the pathfinders apart from Flint. The other figures get slowly to their feet, shambling towards Calder. Only one has time to strike at him though. It draws blood and tries to then bite him as it pulls him close!

All, Will save DC 16 or take 3 damage, 1 on a save

Flint Strides up to the creature and swings his warhammer! Losing the Smite Evil ability really stinks.

ATK: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 MISS
ATK: 1d20 + 3 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 3 - 5 = 3 MISS

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Calder winces as the shambling figure strikes him and the unnatural energy washes over him. "Well that wasn't very nice," he says coldly as he turns to face his foes. He picks out the creature to his right (orange), and growls at him. "You," he says, pointing his knife at the creature before striking out with his axe, followed by a thrust from his knife.

Action 1: Hunt Target (orange)
Action 2: Attack with hatchet
Action 3: Attack with main-gauche

Hatchet: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 Damage (S): 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Main-gauche, 2nd attack (hunt target, agile): 1d20 + 4 - 3 ⇒ (10) + 4 - 3 = 11 Damage (P): 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

"Hmm? What did I miss?" Darius looks up, surprised as shadowy assailants assault him.

Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

He trembles as the wave of energy hits him, and takes a moment to recollect himself. "Abhorrent creatures! We shall return you to whence you came!"

Action 1: Verbal Casting to cast Inspire Courage! You inspire your allies with words or tunes of encouragement. You and all allies in the aura gain a +1 conditional bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves against fear.

Darius then takes a careful Step back to leave room for his more able-bodied companions.

Action 2: Step

Finally, he draws his sword and prepares for battle.

"How dare these vile creatures make a base out of an inn! It is an affront to Cayden's good name!"

Bristor Steps up, Strikes at the foul creature (orange) and then Raises his shield.

attack w/ IC: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 = 14
dmg? w/ IC: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

will shield block with reaction if attacked

Flint strides forward, but luck is still not with the dwarf and his attacks are easily deflected by the slow creature.

Calder however knows how this game works. His hatchet easily opens up the dry flesh of the creature, while his mai-gauche also scores a hefty wound. None of them bleed.

Bristor joins in, piercing the orange figure with his rapier.

If you could please confirm your damage types in your posts, that would be helpful. Bristor also has a will save to make.

oops, sorry!
Will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Weapon in hand, Ogren gives a slight whimper as the wave of negative energy washes over him and a few wounds open up. He raises his sheild just in case the things have some way of attacking him as he moves, before striding up to the one in red and triying to hack something off the dead thing.

"Great, undead in the ruined place that used to be used by worshipers of Milani... something seems off here."

Longsword, IC: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6
Damage, Slashing, IC: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12

Curses! On a different topic, I don't have time to check right now, but does the play test still have rules for identifying monsters? And is it classified as a Recall Knowledge? Cause if I may be so bold:
Bardic Knowledge: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

I think it would be at least an action now to try and identify a monster. Remember in the play test you get three actions in each round, would you like to try and use your third for monster id? Or another attack (remember progressive attack penalties, they differ in the playtest)

Right I didn't give a listing of actions, 1 raise shield, 2 stride, 3 strike! Though he'll definitely try identifying on the next turn, I wasn't certain if it was an action or not.

Ogren's blow isn't quite enough to get past the creatures defences.

More waves of unwellness swirl around the party.
Another DC 16 will vs 3 damage, 1 on sdve as the creatures fling themselves at the pathfinder team

He prepares his sword and begins Slashing at the zombie.

Longsword: 1d20 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 1 - 5 = 13

The battered figure in orange finally falls to the flashing blade of Darius!

Bristor Strides into the derelict inn, circling around one creature (blue) before striking and raising his shield.

crit damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 4) + 8 = 14

Will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 I don't like you either, dice...

Ogren grimaces as the negative energy opens even more wounds on his flesh. He gives a growl and tries to remember something about the enemies they are fighting. Using the roll from above

He then takes two swings at the shambling figure in front of him.

Longsword, IC: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 1 = 25
Damage, Slashing, IC Crit!: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 + (7) + 3 + 1 = 20

Damage, Slashing, IC: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 Flint grits his teeth, and swings his warhammer with righteous fury:

Attacking Red
ATK 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
ATK 2: 1d20 + 3 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 3 - 5 = 3
ATK 4: 1d20 + 3 - 10 ⇒ (10) + 3 - 10 = 3

Seriously?!

The dark energy continues to take its toll on the pathfinders, with only Flint resisting the latest wave.

Bristor circles around the purple creature and sticks it from behind. Ogren realises these are zombie. Slow creatures that are especially vulnerable to slashing weapons. If they get a grip on you they will try to eat your brains!
The one at the back of the room, in the mist, he has not been able to get a close look at yet.

Not wanting to have his brain eaten, he destroys the creature closest to him.
Killed in one hit, so still one action left if you want it

Flint does his best to distract the zombies, but is not able to hurt them. Hopefully they won't hurt his companions either - not with him around.

Bristor, being the absolute gentleman that he is, gives Calder a strategic position from which to demolish the zombie clad in blue rags. "Time to go back to the grave now," he says through gritted teeth.

Action 1: Hunt Target - Blue
Action 2: Strike with Hatchet
Action 3: Strike with main-gauche

Calder drops the already damaged blue zombie with a single hit.

Calder moves across the room to help Ogren bring down the final undead.

Action 3: Stride to get next to the final undead - might provoke a Reaction if it has the ability

Ogren, glad to see the downed zombie, slides over to the other figure, hoping to find the source of this god-awful negative energy.

Stride to get closer to the shadowed figure.

Calder and Ogren close on the last 'person'. This one is dressed as a priest, in armor. On his shield is scratched a horrid symbol.

The fallen priest raises own on shield and reaches out to touch Ogren.

Okay, so the undead is casting. My reading of the new rules says this doesn't trigger an AOO any more, but I'm more than up for someone to show me where I have missed this.

I read it the same as you. Someone who CAN take one (or really anyone who can hit before the spell is completed) can automatically disrupt it by doing more damage than the caster's level.

Flint steps up, "Try that again you skeletal monstrosity!"

Stride
Hammer 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 for DMG: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Hammer 1: 1d20 + 3 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 3 - 5 = 1

I didn't find anything that says casting provokes. Any fighters in the party? Attack of Opportunity is very useful here.

Darius Inspires his allies.

Action 1: Verbal Casting to cast Inspire Courage! You inspire your allies with words or tunes of encouragement. You and all allies in the aura gain a +1 conditional bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves against fear.

Then he Strides around and draws his Shortbow.

Bristor takes a long way around to avoid that hole in the floor and the attempts to skewer the undead.

double stride and strike

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

I think we need a fighter to have it be an AoO, right? And it isn't the casting, but the somatic component that has a trait that triggers it? Something like that

Trigger: A creature within your reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it’s using.

I believe Bristor is right that it's part of the casting that triggers the AoO, which I believe is the Manipulate action. Both the material and somatic components have the manipulate trait, so even if it doesn't have all three actions, there's a good chance the spell would provoke, but only if one of us was a fighter. ‾\_(ツ)_/‾

"Bristor, I might take you up that drink after all," Calder shouts with glee as the Caydenite steps into a position opposite him around the final undead assailant. "Now then, time for this poor chap to receive his final rest."

Action 1: Hunt Target - Green
Action 2: Strike with hatchet, target is flanked (flat-footed)
Action 3: Strike with main-gauche, target is flanked (flat-footed)

Hatchet vs flat-footed, inspired: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11 Damage, inspired: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9
Main-gauche vs flat-footed, inspired, HT: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 - 3 = 8 Damage, inspired: 1d4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

Ahh, that manipulative trait. I thouhg I'd read that casting still did, but then couldn't find out anywhere that did tht. They are going to have to make this is a bit clearer in the final book I think.

Flint makes a good attack, but it is caught on the undead priests shield. Darius continues to offer encouragement to the group. Bristor makes a good attack, although the priest again catches most of it on his shield.
Hit, but Shield block reaction, reduces damage by 5
Calder can't bring his own weapons to effect, though surely sooner or later something has to hurt this monstrosity.

As you battle with it, you think for a moment on some of what you have already learned. Perhaps the journal you found once belonged to this priest, perhaps presenting it to him might cause memories of the good he did in life to distract him. Intimidate action, +3 bonus and special effects on succss. You also remember that from the thugs, there was something about his right side being damaged. That is the hand he wields his morning star in... if the arm is damaged, perhaps he will be easier to disarm?

Also, as my time is getting very short, can someone suggest a move for Ogren, move him on the map and make his rolls?

Ah, sorry, somedays I can only post after getting home from work. Today was one of those days.

will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Ogren gives the caster a definitively orcish Dirty Look, as the man starts casting a third spell at him. Finally having a point to focus all his bred-in anger at, he sharpens his will on the spell and goes in for a kill, slashing one way, then the other and finally back again, his sword making a low but clear note every time. "Gods damned stop it with that casting! ARGGHGHGGH"

Longsword, IC, 1st: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20
Damage, Slashing, IC: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9
Longsword, IC, 2nd: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 7
Damage, Slashing, IC: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9
Longsword, IC, 3rd: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 8 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 - 8 = 15
Damage, Slashing, IC: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

Ogren feels sickened by the priests power, but manages to shake it off.. mostly.

His initial furious assault get's past the priests defences. The priest returns the favor, smashing at the unwell half orc, even as he ducks behind his shield.

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
shield attack: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 7 - 4 = 4

But the damage from the assault seems to have put it off balance.

Status, bold may post : Inspire courage active ;

Darius continues to Inspire his allies.

Action 1: Verbal Casting to cast Inspire Courage! You inspire your allies with words or tunes of encouragement. You and all allies in the aura gain a +1 conditional bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves against fear.

Recalling the clues they found, Darius reaches into Hammerspace and pulls out a familiar journal. "This is what you used to be! You laid spirits to rest, you aided the weary, and you battled the forces of evil. You must fight back against these evil impulses. Let us free you from the binds of undeath!"

Darius will pull out the Journal and attempt an Intimidate check.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 3 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 4 - 2 = 9

Unfortunately, his pleas fall on deaf ears....

Tempted to try a disarm, Bristor decides it's better to just bring the bloke down.
2 strikes and a shield raise

attk 1 w/ IC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
dmg 1 w/ IC: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

attk 2 w/ IC: 1d20 ⇒ 18
dmg 2 w/ IC: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Neither Darius with his words, nor Bristor with his rapier, can breach the skeletal priests defences.

To be clear this is a different sort of creature than the zombies, so you could try to identify it if you wished to learn of vulnerabilities. I played this wrong with the damage listed. The slashing attacks did far less damage than I accounted for. But as that is already listed I'll keep it in there.
Going forward you would be aware that the slashing weapons are not ideal.

Wait he's affected even on a crit success? Dang they were picking the good spells for the caster.

Realizing that he'd let himself go, Ogren gives the figure a good look, trying not to let his queasy stomach get to him.

Bardic Lore Recall: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 - 1 = 5 What is it and why do we want to not like it?

He then stops and thinks for a second, realizing that his swings had been fueled by his anger and not sure he could repeat the feat. He instead changes tracks lifting his sword up into the air and brining it up and down in a controlled manner, as the air flows over the sword, it makes a low rumbling tone that Ogren uses as an almost pitch tuner. He starts into a deep reverberating but ultimately wordless song, ending with a crescendo and and reaching over to touch Flint's hammer. The weapons starts to glow.

Taking a verbal and somatic casting action to cast magic weapon, his weapon should have a +1 to hit and deal an extra die of damage.

Flint, frustrated with his luck thus far gladly accepts the boon.

ATK 1: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7
ATK 2: 1d20 + 3 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 - 5 + 1 = 2
ATK 3: 1d20 + 3 - 10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 - 10 + 1 = 0

Seriously? Torag hath forsaken me.

Seeing that his weapons aren't working as effectively as he might like, Calder opts to make the creature a bit less dangerous by taking its weapon away. He sheathes his knife and whacks at the priest's hand and wrist while simultaneously trying to grab the haft of the weapon with his open hand.

Action 1: Sheathe main-gauche
Action 2: Disarm
Action 3: Disarm

Athletics (Disarm), inspired: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 = 22
Athletics (Disarm), inspired, hunt target (agile): 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 - 3 = 11

Ahh Criticial success.. no effect at all, good catch. And good time for a 20
Ogren recognises this creature as a skeletal champion. He is not that sure about their powers, but knows they are resistant to all but bludgeoning weapons/

Flint attacks, but without luck.

Okay- Disarm, in the rules it says Athletics check against reflex DC. But what is the reflex DC of a creature. You get a reflex save. OR do you (as the person who is being disarmed) roll a reflex save against a DC equal to the athletics check of the disarmer? Thoughts? 10+reflex save as a static DC seems far too easy a check for most folk to make to do a disarm, so I'm kind of hoping it is not that.
reflex vs 22?: 1d20 ⇒ 6
Game wise, with that type of roll, it probably doesn't matter.
The creature's morning star flies from its hand.

As Ogren casts his spell, the priest strikes at him with his shield
AOO (yes he does get one: 1d20 ⇒ 7
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

It hunkers down behind its shield as it stoops down to pick up the morning star. Finally the foul thing heals itself with its dark energies.
harm: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Bristor's jovial nature is starting to fade in the face of this foe, beads of sweat are breaking out on his brow. "Perhaps I need more of Cayden's aid? He holds his rapier aloft and calls down the power of his god, and then attempts to strike.

cast magic weapon = 2 actions

attck: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
dmg w/ IC and magic weapon: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 2) + 4 = 11

this might be the worst collective rolling I've ever seen, with Flint taking the cake for best worst! :)

Flint, it doesn't matter this turn, but you should be getting a +2 from Inspire Courage and Magic Weapon, not just a +1

Ogren gives a grumble as the thing tries to hit him again. He keeps swinging his sword around, shifting the motion ever so slightly, changing the tone and tempo of the music, his voice follows suit. The spell creates a glow around his weapon that seems to make the blade flicker onto different paths for a second as he brings the weapon down on the skeletal creature. "Hit it with bludegeoning things if you got 'em. I ain't got anything but a sword or dagger, though."

Casting True strike, it is a verbal component only so it shouldn't provoke

True-striked Longsword roll 1: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 1 = 25
True-striked Longsword roll 2: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 = 17
True strike has you roll twice and take the better, So that lovely crit is all mine! ... Not that it wouldn't be if I'd rolled normally.
Damage, Slashing IC: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9
Crit!: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

After his magically charged attack he raises his shield and calls out to the champion, "Well come on you bony bastard, try hitting me!"

For Disarming, the Reflex DC is 10 + Reflex Save bonus. So if the DC is less than 12 Calder succeeded critically and knocked the morningstar away. Otherwise he gets a +2 bonus to disarm until the creature's next turn.

Darius continues to Inspire his allies.

Action 1: Verbal Casting to cast Inspire Courage! You inspire your allies with words or tunes of encouragement. You and all allies in the aura gain a +1 conditional bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves against fear.

"Calm yourself! Do not let Evil drive you mad!"

Darius will pull out the Journal and attempt Intimidate checks.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 3 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 4 - 2 = 13

"The gods will curse your soul if you continue. Cease this foolishness!"
Intimidate: 1d20 + 3 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 4 - 2 = 25

Worried that his god has forsaken him, Flint swings with everything he has until the very end:

ATK 1: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 17 for DMG if hit: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 5) + 3 = 14
ATK 2: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 + 1 - 5 = 6
ATK 3: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 - 10 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 + 1 - 10 = 3

Under a flurry of well timed attacks the horrible creature wilts. It's foul powers no match for the fury of Flnt Thunderstrike. Darius conjures up memories of its former life.
"I hate this new existance. But Urgathoa has granted me new life... to seek revenge against my killers!"

However this leaves it open to a massive strike from Ogren Wai and finally it falls to the ground!

As the dust settles you hear a low moan from the hole under the floor boards. Down the bottom you find your missing pathfinder... Nelfurhin Zor. It takes a bit of work, and quite a bit of pain (for she has a broken leg) but you manage to get her to the inn, and then up out of the sinkhole that claimed the area.

From her you learn that she too was a former slave. "Wennel helped me to find my bearings after being freed with no money. We stayed friends but for the last two months, became focused. Wennel insisted he was close on proving that several abductions around Absalom were connected to a secretive cell of slave traders..."

She sighs "He was determined to expose the cell. Even if it meant its members might try to silence him. When he unexpectedly appeared at my home a few days ago.. I opened my door to him, but found him that reanimated husk."

Back at the Grand Lodge, Valsin thanks your for you help and offers a small reward and a dinner with some venture captains.

Even the cold-hearted Calder can't make any snide comments at Wennel's fate. "He died doing what he thought was best. That's a death any of us could strive for. It's too bad he came back as an insane zombie priest and kidnapped you and stuff." He helps Nelfurhin hobble along out of the inn and ties her into the rope so he and the others can haul her up out of the sinkhole. "Hold tight now. We'll be outta here soon."

Later, he accepts venture-captain Valsin's reward, but asks if the dinner is optional. "I'm not one for fine dining, Captain. Thanks for the job though. Let me know if you have more work that needs doing."

"Your revenge threatens to consume you, like my uncle Virgil." Darius starts as he watches Ogren assault him. "But rest easy, the Pathfinder Society will complete your mission. Rest easy, now."

Darius will use his magic to ease Nelfurhin's immediate pain, although there is little he can do to help her broken leg, or the grief of a lost friend. "I've known too many with good intentions who have fallen astray. I am glad to hear of the good things he did in life. At least now he can finally rest."

Darius gladly takes the offer for dinner. "The Kolphan family does all it can to right the wrongs of man kind. But we must understand the limits of our abilities!"
