PFS 3-13 Quest for Perfection Part III: Defenders of Nesting Swallow (Inactive)

Game Master Warped

"Sarenrae bless you who would stand against tyranny!"

Calls out Chaul as he advances.

Bless spell (everyone +1 to hit), then moves to provide flanking for Shorn

Gorn will attack the bandit as he rides by.
Attack of Opportunity on Bandit 1 with Bless: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 1 = 21
AoO Damage if hits: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

After Bandit 1 flees, he takes a swing at the northern bandit to keep him away from Chaul. (Bandit 4?)
Attack 'north bandit': 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 = 7

Off balance from the ride-by attack, he tries to attack the northern bandit, missing the bandit.

Thael spins around to attack one of the mounted bandits behind him with his crossbow, but once again misses widely.

Light crossbow attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 for Light crossbow damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

I've determined wizards are not meant to use these ghastly contraptions. Just point and shoot, they said. Balderdash!

Desiring to conserve his spells, he nevertheless loads another bolt.

Do we get AoOs against the ride-by attack? If so... awesome, I'll throw one out there for time saving sake. If not, then disregard that attack. Lol.

Attack of Opportunity on Bandit 2?: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Elian strikes out with his spear as the tengu charge by on their horses, ducking beneath an attack!

He spins quickly, pointing his spear at the same target, and begins speaking in a strange, comforting language (Celestial). "Nid yw eich ffrind! Ladd ef!" While the tengu may not understand the language, his mind is assaulted by an alien insanity which compels him to kill his friends!

Murderous Command on Bandit #2. He must succeed on a Will save DC 14 or attack his nearest ally.

Whoops! Forgot to impose my curse last round, sorry GM Kim! I've adjusted appropriately this time, I won't forget it next time.

The only one who does is Gorn, and only because he wasn't the target. Also, Gorn, the bonus from bless doesn't occur during the AoO, since the spell wasn't cast until after the rider's turn, which is when you had the opportunity for the attack.

Gorn swings at the bandit as he rides past him, but is unable to drop him. Dagat, however, is able to nail the rider after his charge. The rider slumps in his saddle, and does not seem to be moving anymore.

Chaul calls out to his Goddess for aid during the battle as Gorn, after a spectacular hit against the charging bandit, misses the one standing next to him. Thael maintains his deadly accuracy and nails a tree with a bolt. Surely the mage must have something against wood.

Elian shouts in celestial at the bandit who nearly sliced him. Hopefully his strange words strike home!

Again, all eyes fall on the bard. A strange quiet descends on the small road, as even the flora and fauna wait to see what he might do.

Critters will act tomorrow...

Elian [+2 deflection AC, 9 rounds]

Deciding not to wait on the bard, the bandits take the initiative and strike back against those who would dare strike one of their own down.

The remaining mounted bandit dismisses the inept crossbowman and charges again past Elian, swinging on his way by. Both bandits on the ground swing and bite at the flanked Gorn with swords and pecking beaks, before each shifts closer to the holy man behind them.

Bandit 2 ride-by charge against Elian: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 12
Bandit 3 blade attack on Gorn: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12
Bandit 3 bite attack on Gorn: 1d20 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) - 2 + 2 = 16
Bandit 4 blade attack on Gorn: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 = 13
Bandit 4 bite attack on Gorn: 1d20 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) - 2 + 2 = 19

The mounted bandit rides past, his blade passing safely over Elian's head. Gorn is able to deflect and dodge all the attacks coming in at him before they decide to move onto easier prey.

Party is back up! Critters will act again on Wednesday unless everyone posts their actions before then.

Dagat sprints through the trees again, taking position to shoot an arrow at the unguarded back of the bandit near Gorn.

Longbow: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Move south then shoot at bandit 3 near Gorn.

Chaul strikes out at the nearby bandit with his scimitar.

"Turn from this path!" he calls out.

attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Dismayed as the impotency of his spell, Elian turns away from the mounted tengu to see Chaul engaged with one of the other crowmen. He takes a look at his shortspear and suddenly rushes forward, charging the enemy from the back!

Attack: 1d20 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 2 + 2 = 13
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Charge attack against the tengu fighting Chaul. +2 attack from charging, and another +2 from flanking. -2 AC from charging. Not sure if a 13 hits or not...

Dagat continues running through the trees, sending an arrow at the bandit still next to Gorn and missing. Fortunately, Gorn knocks the arrow aside with his shield before it reaches his tender dwarven flesh.

Chaul swings his scimitar wide and high, not coming anywhere the bandit as Elian charges in from behind, skidding to a halt and losing his footing momentarily on the loose dirt road, sending his shortspear sadly far from its mark.

Thael takes one last shot at the mounted thug.

Light crossbow attack: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 1 = 16 for Light crossbow damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Thael fires a bolt at the mounted bandit, but the bolt glances off his leather lamellar armored shoulder before clattering off into the woods.

Got it. Sorry for my slow posting here. Discussion will have the full disclosure.

Gorn Swings at the foolish bandit attacking him.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23
Damage, if hits: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

"Didn't yer ma ever tell ye metal keeps annoyin' birds out?"

He taunts the bandit fruitlessly.

Gorn solidly hits the bandit next to him, causing him to give Gorn a second, and not so dismissive this time, glance.

I have a feeling we won't be seeing Noorzad before Wednesday... So I'll post the bandits actions now! We can squeeze Noorzad's actions in if he's still about...

The remaining mounted bandit yet again charges past Elian, swinging his wakizashi on his way by as the two bandits on the ground surround the holy warrior, putting his defenses to the test.

Bandit 2's ride-by charge against Elian: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 19
Bandit 3's blade attack on Chaul: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12
Bandit 3's bite attack on Chaul: 1d20 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 + 2 = 20
Bandit 4's blade attack on Chaul: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10
Bandit 4's bite attack on Chaul: 1d20 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 + 2 = 3

Bandit 3's critical confirmation on bite attack: 1d20 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) - 2 + 2 = 12

Bandit 2's blade damage on Elian: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Bandit 3's bite damage on Chaul: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Yet again, the bandits come back and show that they should not be trifled with!

Party's back up! Yay! Critters will act again on Thursday unless everyone posts their actions before then.

"Foul animal" utters Chaul as he reels from the horses bite.

Chaul steps away from the bandits, and calls on his celestial connection to heal the injured - himself included. Selective channeling means he can exclude the bandits

channel: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Fire at Bandit 2 then move South. I don't heal from the channel as I'm out of range.

Dagat fires at the mounted bandit before dashing southwards to mask her position.

Longbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

That wasn't a horse bite, but a beak bite from the tengu bandit... dunno if that would change Chaul's mind, though...

Chaul steps back and again calls upon his Goddess' aid. The Pathfinders, with the exception of Dagat and Noorzad, feel a warm wave of energy pass over them, healing their various wounds. Dagat runs further down the road after sending an arrow wildly into the air towards the still mounted bandit.

His last bolt having struck a bandit, Thael decides to conserve his spells for later and try the crossbow again, but is back to missing widely.

Light crossbow attack: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5 for Light crossbow damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Elian gasps as the blade bites deep into his shoulder, his spear hand reflexively reaching up to the wound. A moment later, however, the healing power of Chaul washes over him and staunches the flow of blood. He takes a moment to get a good look at the battlefield and then withdraws from his current enemy and slips around the cart.

He makes his approach the other bandit from the rear, while at the same time restricting the mounted bandit of his choice of target.

Withdraw action to move to indicated position on map. Take that mounted tengu bandit! lol

Gorn swings at the bandit harrowing Chaul and himself.

Attack bandit he hit: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 = 12
damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Thael continues to fill the air with errant bolts around the rider charging up and down the road. Elian grabs his spear firmly and runs around the backside of the wagon, finding shelter from the same mounted foe.

Gorn swings his axe at the bandit posing him and Chaul such difficulties, but is unable to hit his mark. Meanwhile, Noorzad ambles of into the woodline, taking a seat in the shade of a large elm tree and pulls out his book of sonnets, bringing quill to paper to write of this epic struggle, the Brawl on Last Road.

The mounted bandit, finding his prey now removed, is faced with the unarmored spectacle of the man firing so many bolts at him. Squawking, he races his horse past Thael, leaning over to slash at the wizard as he rides by. As his horse races into the thin woodline, he spots Dagat and squawks again!

The dismounted bandits continue to harass the holy man, witnessing the man undo all their hard work single-handedly.

Bandit 2's ride-by charge against Thael: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 18
Bandit 3's blade attack on Chaul: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 2 = 25
Bandit 3's bite attack on Chaul: 1d20 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) - 2 + 2 = 7
Bandit 4's blade attack on Chaul: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 = 13
Bandit 4's bite attack on Chaul: 1d20 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) - 2 + 2 = 13

Bandit 3's critical confirmation on wakizashi attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 = 14 That was close!

Bandit 2's damage against Thael: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Bandit 3's damage against Chaul: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

In a deadly counter-maneuver, the bandits nearly turn the tables against the Pathfinders, but the sun was in their eyes.

Party's back up! And everyone's still alive, albeit some just barely! Critters will act again on... let's say Friday, unless everyone posts their actions before then. I'll reinsert Noorzad if he shows back up, but we're moving at a pretty good pace right now that might actually see the end of the fight before month's end... Hope no one objects.

By all means keep up the pace! I've been in and out lately with some medical claptrap, many apologies to all. If it's overly annoying I can slide out.

Heh, Noorzad. Firing at Bandit 2 then another move.

Dagat fires yet another arrow at the mounted bandit before dashing past the trees to move into the small crowd of peasants.

She gives them only a glance and a quick nod to assure them she has come to help before turning her back on them and notching an arrow, eyes looking for any sign of movement from where she remembered the enemy was.

Longbow: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Whoops! Forgot about our wizard out there all by his lonesome. Come join the party near the wagon! Higher ground is awesome.

Now in position, Elian preps his spear and charges the tengu again; however, he trips up on an exposed root and his attack misses by a large margin....

Charge Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Standard Action charge... and a terrible miss. -2 AC until next round. Our rolls are sucking this combat. And I can't wait until I hit level 2... Color Spray here I come!

Chaul continues to step towards the trees, where the horsemen cannot both keep on harrasing him with ride by attacks.

As he does so, he continues to summon healing energy, and exclude the bandits from it.

channel: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Gasping at the deep wound the bandit inflicted on him, Thael moves off into the trees, then readies a spell should a bandit come within five feet of him.

I'll cast color spray if a bandit comes within 5'.

Dagat fires at the mounted bandit, but the arrow slides off a tree just shy of its true mark. Elian rushes forward with his spear, and manages to find the only root that found its way to the road.

Chaul steps out of the precarious position he has found himself in and lets loose another wave of warm energy, healing only the smallest of scratches and wounds, however. Meanwhile, Thael moves into the trees with a purpose, vivid and clashing colors starting to form around his hand.

Gorn moves into flanking position with the bandit, provoking an attack of opportunity, but moving beside Chaul.

"Surrender, ya git!" He howls to no avail.

attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 14
damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Gorn's axe smashes into the ground, glancing off the bandits armor, sending dirt and rock, and an errant root, flying everywhere.

Noorzad looks up once in a while, watching small details of the fight as he writes, wincing at the beatings his friends are taking and hoping they find a way to make it through. Perhaps they need additional aid, but where would such aid come from!? He takes a sip from a waterskin as he thinks this conundrum through. It sure is warm out, today.

He watches as the mounted bandit wheels his horse about, charging back the way he came towards Thael. The two dismounted bandits continue to follow the priest attacking everyone around them with in feathery flurry of beaks and blades. He leans back against the trunk, sipping yet again from his waterskin. Maybe someone in Absalom could help. But how to get a message there in time...?

As the mounted bandit comes closer to Thael, Thael's incantation is completed with a few short words and a vivid cone of clashing colors springs forth from his hand. The waves of different colors splash over the bandit and his horse. The bandit resists the spell, but it proves too much for the horse, who drops to the ground unconscious.

The bandit is able to leap free from the horse in time to not become entangled with it and charges at Thael, squawking in fury!

Bandit 2's damage against Thael: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Bandit 3's damage against Gorn: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Bandit 4's damage against Gorn: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Noorzad scootches over a bit, what with that root poking him in his rear. Man, that's uncomfortable. He notices his friends start to take a beating. Wow, those swords sure do look sharp! As he sips from his waterskin, he sure is glad it's not him out there. Hopefully, sometime soon before it's too late, someone might find them on this road and supply assistance. And, maybe, when they get to town, maybe he should pick up an umbrella, because that sun looks brutal for the complexion...

Party is back up! Critters will act again on Saturday unless everyone posts their actions beforehand.

Noorzad, weren't you supposed to be recording the battle for posterity? Also, Dagat moves and shoots Bandit 2.

Hearing the hoofbeats stop abruptly, Dagat leaves the peasants to dash into the trees and take a shot at the now-unmounted bandit.

Longbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

These rolls are so, so bad.

I know, right!? What is going on? You'd think this was the final, climactic battle!

I think GM Kim is burning up all the good rolls on the stinking bandits and leaving us with the leftovers! We have not hit hardly at all... lol

Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 See?

Elian jabs his spear at the bandit, but once again his strike goes wide.

Chaul continues to step away from the battle as he continues to bring forth the blessings of the celstial realm onto his allies... but not the bandits.

"Open up you heavenly realms! Bring forth your glory on this sad realm."

channel: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Thael staggers as the bandit strikes him with vicious blows, but some of his wounds close thanks to Chaul.

"A welcome addition to any group, you most certainly are, cleric!" Thael manages.

Focus!

Suddenly, Thael shimmers out of existence, only to appear five feet away. Now safely away from the bandit, he moves back away from the melee and loads his crossbow again.

As much as I hate this thing, it seems much safer than the front lines!

Shift as swift action, move action, then load crossbow as move action.

As long as there are no more than 3 injured enemies, you don't have to keep saying that you're excepting them if you're in the process of fighting. I'm not going to heal them unless you specifically want me to. So don't sweat it about putting in that you exclude them, only make sure that it's noted if you want them healed (for like interrogations or whatnot). Since you don't have variant channeling, uninjured enemies won't benefit whatsoever from your channels, so you're good there, too. Now, if you have 4 or more injured enemies within 30' while channeling, we'll need to talk exclusions...

Also, silly teleportation conjurer's.

Dagat moves back away from the cowering peasants, firing another arrow at the now dismounted bandit, but again is unable to land a hit. Elian jabs his spear at the bandits back, but the strike goes awry when the spear tip catches an errant root being tossed back by Gorn's blow.

Chaul calls upon heavenly powers and basks his fellow Pathfinders in a warm flow of energy. Again. As he calls upon divine powers, Thael calls upon arcane powers, shifting from view only to reappear slightly further away before moving back and reloading his trusty crossbow.

Gorn takes a swing at the bandit now at his northeast, making sure that the bandit is aware Gorn knows he's being flanked.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 = 7
Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Darn dice roller! And more strong language, too!

With a wide swing, Gorn's axe is unable to find its target. Again...

The bandits leave Gorn's too defended body and go for the lesser armored targets about. Perhaps they mean to take the dwarven can down at their convenience later? Two surround Chaul while one takes on the root-prone Elian.

In a clash of steel and... whatever beaks are made of... a wakizashi strike finds its way past Chaul's defenses, and another nearly hits Elian, only to be deflected at the last moment by a shimmering field of divine energy.

Bandit 2's damage v Chaul: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Elian grits his teeth and strikes out with his spear...again... OH! And maybe hits????!

Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Chaul steps south, to get out from behind the flanking of the two bandits.

"I can't keep this up all day.." he calls out to his allies.

channel: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Move and another shot at Bandit 2.

Dagat sprints forward, keeping close to the treeline. She hesitates for a split-second to decide whether to help Elian or Chaul, but decides on the heavily-wounded latter over the undamaged former.

She shoots her bow, feeling a holy blessing wash over her as the arrow flies, spinning in the air towards one of the bandits harassing the cleric.

Longbow: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Looks like the dice gods were just waiting for you to say the word, Kim!

The root sent flying by Gorn's axe finally falls and lands on the shoulder of the bandit next to Elian, who takes the opportunity to pierce that damnable root once and for all. Unfortunately, he also pierces the bandits shoulder dropping the poor fellow to the ground.

Chaul looses another wave of positive energy, healing the wounds of those around him as Dagat aims at the bandit near him (instead of her original target which is now unconscious... hope that's okay!) and looses an arrow into the bandits leg.

AoO: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Gorn moves into position on the other side of the bandit from Chaul, easily knocking aside a half-hearted blow. Once he's in position, he strikes with such force that the bandit staggers immediately.

Everyone holds their breath as Thael fumbles about looking for another bolt, wondering if he'll rely on the unwieldy contraption or resort to more... arcane solutions.

With limited magical resources available, Thael loads and shoots another crossbow bolt.

Light crossbow attack: 1d20 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 - 4 = 7 for Light crossbow damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

The crowd, consisting of a family of peasant farmers, oohs in desperation as Thael decides on the crossbow, sending another bolt clattering off into the light woodline.

Noorzad takes a last look around, sighs, then stands up, "Well, if nobody else will go and get help, I guess I'll do it." He then walks back down the road from the way the Pathfinders originally came from, still writing the epic tale Last Stand at Last Road in his book, oblivious to his surroundings.

The bandits, having lost half of their number, suddenly realize that the odds don't look good for them. This is obvious by the darting of their eyes, the squawks shared between them ("Xiànzài shì shíhòu líkāi zhèlǐ, xiōngdì, yǐqián wǒmen dōu sǐle zhèxiē lánlù de!", "Nǐ zǒuliǎo, dàgē! Wǒ huì gēnzhe...... Wǒ bù zhīdào wǒ shìfǒu kěyǐ bǎ tā... cough cough"), and their sudden withdrawal from battle. Well, withdrawal for one, furious limping for the other.

Gorn and Chaul may make attacks of opportunity on Bandit 4 as he hobbles away, leaving a trail of blood... Party's up! Critters will act/flee again on Wednesday unless everyone posts their actions before then.

Dagat moves to the small clearing for a better position before firing another arrow at the escaping bandits.

Longbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Gorn will attack the bird-man as he flees.

Attack of Opportunity: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 13
damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

As he realizes he missed, he gives chase, to the bird man, charging him from behind.

"Where Ah come from, ye fight 'til ye won or yer dead!"

Charging Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 10
Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

His axe diverting from the bird man each time, Gorn wastes no time in preparing for the retribution the bird man may take.

"Redemption is still available. But I'll not leave you to attack more helpless people"

Calls out Chaul as he slices at the retreating bandit.

attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Thael takes a parting shot at one of the bandits, but does not feel comfortable killing his foe in such a dishonorable way. He fires high over his foe's head.

attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 for damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

"Good riddance!" he yells at the bandit's back.
