Quinnik Stalkingwolf

Quinnik sees what the creature is trying to do and takes a move to his right before sending another arrow...

Attack roll 01: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 -> Damage roll: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Attack roll 02: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 -> Damage roll: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Despite being gravely wounded Vanya keeps attacking:"Come on! We need to bring this thing down before it kills us!" she shouts
Erevan Stormstride
|
Fortunately, the air elemental has a hard time striking Erevan, but unfortunately, he has no idea how to kill this thing. His blows strike only air.
+1 Dueling Sword (adamantine) (fighting defensively, crane style, defensive parry): 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 2 = 81d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 (+4 dodge bonus to AC; AC is 25 through next turn)

I really hope Aryn and Pree chime on in.
Shungur Edge-Of-Sky
|
Concentration: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
ARGH didn't realize the thing had reach. Shoulda known.
Shungur's spell winks out. "It may be time to retreat or move past this thing...get it behind a door or soemething..."
GM Upaynao

Seriously guys, I don't want to start my PbP career with a wipe.

The elemental reels back, wounded, before retaliating.
Slam vs Vanya: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Quinnik sends an arrow yet again hoping to drop the creature...
"Surely it must be almost dead friends! Press on!"
CLB+DA+PBS+DA: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9...DMG: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
and curses his bad luck!
Shungur Edge-Of-Sky
|
Shungur takes another step back...and then disappears. He reappears near the doorway and moves through it.
"Just withdraw! We need to barricade this thing in and heal up! I can teleport you if you're stuck, a little ways! Quinnik and anyone else, pepper it from afar!...er...not like that, Quinnik! Just jump on the mammoth and let's leave this whirlwind in its own dust!"
Using Heaven's Leap and a move action on myself...no AoO as it was out of range and then teleport. Run away, run away!
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
GM Upaynao

I follow you up till the point where you said you were going to take another move. You cannot 5 ft adjust in the same turn as you use a move action to actually move. Unfortunately I can't see a good way for you to use your move action this round, unless of course you want to chance the elemental's wrath.
Erevan Stormstride

"Retreat?!" Erevan retorts. "I just need to learn how this thing fights...I can take it myself!" the swordsman boasts as he attacks it with a skillful blow.
+1 Dueling Sword (adamantine): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 191d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Aryn Seavon

I apologize guys! Looks like I fell ill at the most inconvenient moment possible... Let me try to make up for that...
"Press the attack, we can still bring it down!" Aryn shouts as she snaps out of a prolonged daze.
As she readies her greatsword for a cut there's a faint sparkle on the blade. Aryn then swings it at the air elemental with all her might.
Cold Iron Greatsword, Magic Weapon, PA, Bloodrage, Destined Strike: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 1 - 1 + 2 + 1 = 23 Damage, Magic Weapon, PA, Bloodrage: 2d6 + 6 + 1 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (5, 1) + 6 + 1 + 3 + 3 = 19
My other turn:
Aryn immediately follows up with another cut, putting all the strength and effort she can muster into the attack. Once again there's a faint sparkle on her sword's blade.
Cold Iron Greatsword, Magic Weapon, PA, Bloodrage, Destined Strike: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 1 - 1 + 2 + 1 = 21 Damage, Magic Weapon, PA, Bloodrage: 2d6 + 6 + 1 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (6, 6) + 6 + 1 + 3 + 3 = 25

Shungur's spell never went off, unfortunately meaning you do not have the benefits of Magic Weapon. You do have it on the ropes though.
Vanya Stabilization Check (DC10): 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 1 - 2 = 12
Vanya's wounds, while serious, do not seem to threaten her with immediate loss of life.

Perception Quinnik: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

"Press the attack, we can still bring it down!" Aryn shouts as she snaps out of a prolonged daze.
"Yeah. I kinda figured." Pree sighs.
Round 7 Slightly more more offensive. TOTAL AC BONUS: 20. She slides 5 feet.

The elemental retaliates with a fury borne of desperation!
Slam vs Erevan: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Slam vs Aryn: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24

It's got 2 hp left guys. Kill it!!!! :D
Erevan Stormstride

"Down with you!" Erevan calls out as he plunges his blade deep into the elemental.
+1 Dueling Sword (adamantine): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 251d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Shungur Edge-Of-Sky
|
Shungur uses Starshine on the beast, giving it -1 to attacks and Perception and making it sparkle delightfully.
"So...perhaps it wasn't going to kill us all..." muses the shaman.
GM Upaynao
|
Erevan's blade deals the killing blow, dissipating the outworlder away. Looking around, Shungur is the first to spot that the far door at the other end of the dining room is open. It is however too dark to see anything beyond that.
Aryn Seavon
|
Aryn's hair and eyes return to normal, and her hair falls flat against her face as she starts panting heavily.
She quickly pulls out her healing wand and starts tapping Vanya, and then everyone else who's wounded.
As promised: heals for everyone! :)
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Vanya 27 dmg

Aryn puts her wand away once she's done healing everyone. She's stopped panting by that time.
"Let's go over there?" She points a finger at the open door.
Erevan Stormstride
|
Erevan looks with satisfaction at where the air creature once flew.
"Oh, yeah...I had heard something over there during the battle," he says.
"Can someone heal me before we check it out?" he asks, holding out his wand.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"We made it... good job friends. Let us heal the wounded and then continue."
GM Upaynao

The pathfinder agent recover from their wounds before progressing forwards. They make their way through the dining room into the kitchen, where they find the source of the noise: a table pushed aside to reveal a wide open trapdoor. It leads to a hidden cellar where a pathway leads further into darkness.
The rest of the house is quiet.
Aryn Seavon
|
@Erevan: I had already healed you.
Aryn moves up to the trapdoor and opens it. She then takes a look at what's below.
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
GM Upaynao
|
@Aryn: The trapdoor has already been opened.
The pathfinders go into the cellar and into the tunnel, passing by not only dried meats and fine wines, but also a couple of travelling bags.
A hundred feet or so later, they emerge in an empty first floor apartment. The front door of this one is wide open and leads back into the streets, not far from Halmont's place.
Aryn Seavon
|
Whooooops...
Perception, for spoiler: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
"Hmm..." Aryn heads over to the door and steps outside. There she takes a look around, to see if there's anything to be seen.
Perception, outside: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Apparently I have my eyes shut all the time.
Erevan Stormstride
|
Thanks, Aryn. Go ahead and use my wand charges, though.
Erevan looks down and sees a box, completely out of place.
"This box shouldn't be here...it's been sealed shut," he says as he takes a closer look."[/b]
perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
Saw the box, will take 20 perception for a 30 to investigate it further.
Aryn Seavon
|
Will do. Thanks, Erevan!
GM Upaynao
|
Apart from the pitch and the wax, it does not seem to be closed in any other manner. Scraping the seal off and prying the lid open should be easy, and possibly done without causing damage to the contents or the box.
Vanya Kaleth
|
"Thanks..." mutters Vanya as Aryn heals her back into shape.
Then the rogue follows the others and examines the box from afar:"Let's hope this is not trapped as the door was"
Perception check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
GM Upaynao
|
The box does not appear to be magical or contain any magics; it does not appear trapped either.
Quinnik Stalkingwolf
|
"If you need help Vanya just call out. No need to dirt nap so late in the day."
GM Upaynao
|
Opening the box, Erevan notices that it is filled with various papers and a key with distinct Abadarian iconography. The papers contain damning evidence of the Andoren councilor's corruption, detailing bribes taken, contracts facilitated and much more political malfeasance.
Erevan Stormstride
|
"What would all this be doing here?" Eravan wonders. "Did someone plant this here, or is this evidence?"
GM Upaynao
|
Flummoxed by their finding, the Pathfinders return to the apartment Halmont was renting after a quick inspection of the house at the end of the tunnel and the street upon which it's open door lead to. Another few moments are all that is needed to determine one thing: Halmont is gone.
Back to you Pathfinders; you have a house you can explore in greater detail and some clues to try and infer information from already. I do not wish to push you much since this is more of an investigation now that you did not surprise Halmont in his apartment. What do you do?
Quinnik Stalkingwolf
|
Quinnik will go to the library or study and check for clues...
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15...+2 if there are traps to find
GM Upaynao
|
Quinnik finds Halmont's study and fairly quickly finds a locked drawer in his desk. Additionally, he finds a note from the Absalom Bank of Abadar, thanking the councilor for his trust in the services provided by the Master of the First Vault's true disciples, and noting that the two keys provided to him are the only keys he will be provided with, and that a fee will be leveraged against the contents of the vault should he lose either of them.
GM Upaynao

Remember to read the spoilers! A DC 15 Linguistics or Profession (Barrister) check will clue you in on more!
Shungur Edge-Of-Sky

"So, would there be more items in this vault, perhaps in the Abadarian Temple? And I cannot make head nor tail of this document," says Shungur, fairly puzzled. "Taldane isn't even my first language. What is 'ad argumento heretoforwith this shall be considered, the following contingencies notwithstanding...?'"
