[PFS] 8-06: Reaping What We Sow (GM Blake) (Inactive)

Game Master Blake's Tiger

Kyunjiro looks at the tiny creature curiously, wondering, What the heck is that?

Perception (on gourd-man): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Kyunjiro can tell that the creature is definitely trying to communicate.

Sho is more then happy to be out of the house and though the gruesome sight of the dead priest would curdle most normal people's insides, Sho is more then just a mere person.
"What a way to go." He mutters.
"Someone hates people who can cast spells?" noting that the Priest and Druid could have one thing in common..

Knowledge (nature) 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
I have no idea what that is but I cold try speaking to it." He comments.

"Hello?" in Sylvan.

Some kind of plant construct? What's it trying to say? Why is it smashing pumpkins? It's pointing at itself and then up? Are those fangs it's trying to represent? maybe it's trying to say there's a bigger meaner version of it wondering about. But, what is it how? Why would it they.. murder prominent members of the community? Realizing both men murdered had a divine connection, Eamon begins to fear a little. Fear quickly turns to anger. You better learn to speak better little squash head or those Pumpkins won't be the only goard smashes Eamon draws his sword. intimidate: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

The little gourd man stares at Sho for a moment.

"A puzzling development... ask the lessshy creature if it knowsss who the killer isss" Yelek suggests to Sho...

Kyunjiro says some words in Sylvan, and tries to reason with the creature, NOT to intimidate it like Eamon.

The gourd creature replies to Kyunjiro in Sylvan, appearing to be relieved that he can communicate in words rather than pantomime. "Yes! The evil pumpkin spirits killed good man, Elm. Why? Why would they do this? Evil! I try to kill them before they rise, but I am small, and too slow. Elm was good! Horrible, evil pumpkin spirits!"

Diplomacy to calm him down by someone who can speak Sylvan with a +2 bonus.

Perhaps a bit of inspiration might help you with calming this fellow down. Goran says as he pats Kyunjiro on the shoulder.

cast guidance

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

At this the gourd pauses in shock and then continues its gesticulating, as frantic as before.

"Hmm, it's not working. Sho, want to give it a try?"

Eamon sheaths his sword as his friends begin to speak to the creature in some strange language satisfied the creature presents no danger; Eamon follows Goran's lead and cast guidance on Sho . May Iomedea guide your words.

Diplomacy, Guidance and sylvan bonus 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 28

To Eamon.
"This one thanks you for your blessing and would ask that you refrain from scaring this little one."

To the Gourd man.
"This one does indeed speaks your tongue and would ask your honored name? Do come down for we are here to help and if you would please tell us what you know, this one's companion's I'm sure is more then happy to help vanquish this evil spirit." as Sho speaks in his calm voice

"Good job, Sho. For some reason I could not calm him down... And Eamon! He was not attacking you, why should we threaten him!? Please, do not do that, It did NOT help us." Kyunjiro scolds Eamon. (In common)

Happy Haloween! :D

"Ssso? What did it sssay?"

The little gourd man slowly begins to quiver less and continues to speak to Sho in Sylvan, "Feather Seed is me. Need help. The evil... LOOK OUT!"

As Feather Seed shouts his warning in Sylvan, Yelek spies some of the gourds and a nearby pumpkin starting to move. He shouts his own warning as a devilish carved face appears on the pumpkin next to Sho, rising up on a body of tangled rotting vines. The jack o' lantern lets out a chilling laugh as a flame blazes to life within it.

Combat! Surprise Round. Bold may post.

Kyunjiro sneaks behind the jack o' lantern, and prepares to strike in the next round.

EVIL PUMPKIN THING BRINGS DEATH TO PARTY, LOL

The way the site has been acting, I'm going to be a bit proactive in posting. Yelek's surprise round action can't change what the monsters are going to do, so I'll press along.

Jagged, mouth-like tears appear on both the bouncing gourds, and they each spit a seed. One rings off of Goran's armor like a shot into a spittoon while the other flies well over Greeda and Yelek's heads, whichever of you it was aiming at.

I need a Will save vs. vision-based, mind-affecting fear from everyone.

Will Save VS DC ???? 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Yelek is not surprised by the ghostly apparition and steps near it unsheating his giant sword as he does so...

Will Save: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (6) + 0 = 6

Kyunjiro is scared

Will Save: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10

Kyunjiro is scared.

will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

A sense of dread falls over the field as the jack o' lantern forms in full. His grinning mouth opens and a blast of fire washes over the forester, the wayang and the two clerics.

Combat! Round 1. Bold may post.

Yelek slashes with all of his mightat the nefarious creature...

Power Attack roll: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 1 = 7 -> Damage roll: 2d8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (8, 4) + 6 + 3 = 21

Eamon cast Resistance on himself and re-draws his sword...He shouts in anger, The little squash head has lead us in to an ambush! He the steps cautiously foward..ending up near Greeda. Eamon cast Resistance (standard), draws sword (move), 5ft step (free)

"This one must point out that the little one has tred to warn us instead." Sho springs forward like.......a fox as he slshes his strange hand weapon towards the new foe. His wounds stinging from the flames spat out from the fiery thing.

Sho Uses Slash! 1d1 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 51d10 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7

Kyunjiro draws his rapier and brings it down on the fiery jack o' lantern and.....

Attack Roll (rapier): 1d20 + 2 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 2 - 2 + 4 = 5
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

+2 flank, -2 shaken, +4 rapier attack bonus

Draw Rapier, Attack

Sho, you might stand a better chance of hitting if you use a d20.

A man-high wave of soil flies into the air in the wake of Yelek's strike, but when the dust settles, it appears that he has only managed to cleave a hole in the ground (the size of a halfling's grave). Kyunjiro stabs the wrong pumpkin! The jack o' lantern's head spins on its rotten body and cackles.

Combat! Round 1. Bold may post.

Jack o' Lantern

The brawler moves up and tries to hit the creature with her morning star
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

lol Didn't notice I wasn't using a d20. Posting from phone is hard.
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 and 7 dmg if that hits.

Themyscira lodges her morningstar in the side of the jack o' lantern's pumpkin head. It cackles maniacally until Sho stabs it in the bottom of the pumpkin. The face on the jack o' lantern makes a surprised expression and then explodes in a wave of boiling hot pumpkin guts.

Sho, Yelek, Themyscira, Greeda, and Kyunjiro take 7 points of fire damage and are stunned for 1 round. DC 12 Reflex save to reduce damage to 3 points and negate stun.

The gourds spit more seeds. This time one of them hits Goran and bursts into thick, clinging vines that try to entangle the priest.

DC 12 Relfex Save to avoid entanglement, Goran.

Combat! Round 2. Everyone not unconscious or stunned may go.
Party
Gourds
Jack o' Lantern (dead - pile of steaming pumpkin goo)

reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

joy!

Goran gets snarled up in a bunch of vines, so he starts hacking at the vines with his blade.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Yelek hisses uncoils his head and swings at one of the other gourds as the jack o/lantern death throes did nothing to stop the snakeman...

Attack roll: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 - 1 = 25 -> Damage roll: 2d8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1) + 6 + 3 = 11

Edit

Confirmation check: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 - 1 = 13 -> Damage roll: 2d8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 7) + 6 + 3 = 22

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Kyunjiro dodges most of pumpkin guts, and is not stunnec by the attack.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 2 - 2 = 18
damage: 1d6 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1

Eamon wants to get in to the action but see's some of his allies are in urgent need of Iomedea's healing energies.. Eamon therefore moves closer to some of the injured. Iomedea I call upon your healing hand to heal my allies!

Eamon uses selective channel to block the two gourds from receiving healing. channel: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Sorry, ill move my character now, i was in a hurry while I was typing it, then apply my character's attack.

Yelek turns one of the gourds into soup while Kyunjiro pokes a hole in the other. Eamon heals most of the wounds with a wave of positive energy.

Reflex Save VS DC 12 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Sho grimaces as he avoids the worst of the pumpkin's guts, rolling to his feet the agile forester strikes out at the gourd in a bid to end its tyranny! He didn't really like the entangling part......
Attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 231d10 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9

Status
Greeda (-1 HP)

Sho breaks forward as his wounds heal and stabs the remaining gourd through and through. Goran, meanwhile, tears at the clinging vines to free himself.

Feather Seed leaps in excitement, crying out in Sylvan, "Yes! Good job! You smashed evil spirits! Come! Follow Feather Seed to place of evil! You smash more?"

"This one asks that you hold a moment Feather Seed." Sho cautions as he turns to his companions.

"This one is told by our new friend, Feather Seed, that he intends to bring us to this den of evil. Would you like to assist?"

Eamon scowls at the little thing and spits out, How do you know it won't lead us to another ambush? Eamon kicks a pumpkin then begins to curse as it sticks to his foot, racking#%* , frac#*^king,! I mean he could be the boss of the whole bunch! Eamon points his sword at Featherseed and then Sho, How do you know its not lying Sho? Why do trust this little plant creature? Eamon looks to the others for support.

Yelek moves near Eamon and hisses:"Your fit isss unsssightly. Ssstop it. We'll follow the little green man. If he leadsss usss to the sssource of thisss messs all the better. Otherwisssse we'll be ready to deal with whatever comesss our way and then sssee to him. But by sssussspecting him and doing nothing we jussst wassste preciousss time" he states flatly before turning to follow the little green man.

You Whitecloaks... always so suspicious! :P

Look at it this way...if it is a trap, we go in prepared. If not, no big deal. Being wary is fine, but overly suspicious us a but much. Just keep your wits and we will be fine. Is everybody good to go?

Reflex 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

It is only a trap if you don't know it is a trap she remarks wiping pumpkin goo off of her and her weapon.

Yes, ready to kill these evil pumpkins!

Kyunjiro starts following Feather Seed.

Is Kyunjiro shaken anymore?

Sho sighs as Eamon's actually points his weapon at him.
"This one sees no other reason to distrust our guide, If we all die then you can tell us so in the afterlife."
Turning to Feather seed, he once more speaks in Sylvan.
"This one apologises for his companion but he feels that this might be a trap. This one and his other companions are ready to follow. Could you tell us what awaits us there?"

Look at it this way...if it is a trap, we go in prepared. If not, no big deal. Being wary is fine, but overly suspicious us a but much. Just keep your wits and we will be fine. Is everybody good to go?

Eamon struggles to control his growing temper, Oh really? Just how do you propose we prepare Goran? Eamon throws his hands up in the air, We were certainly prepared for them in this encounter! I understand your desire to solve this mystery but, following a creature we just encountered and trusting it's intentions fully after having just been ambushed seems foolhardy! Eamon seems exhausted at having to point out the obvious: Another group of dolts I'm assigned to? Is the society that desperate to fill it's ranks?
