[PFS_Aerondor] 06-10 The Wounded Wisp - Tier 1 (Inactive)

Game Master Aerondor

Rumble takes a 5' step forward and then tries to swing twice more in rapid succession at the green enemy.

Attack 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Attack 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

"You're not getting away from me THAT easy!" Khāṇa howls at the dwarf.

greataxe: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Alas, that's one mean arrow wound.

Smiley searches the backs of his eyelids for secret doors.

Ayo swings back at the halfling, glaring at him.

Attack with Mwk Cold Iron Katana: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Rumble disables the archer with a pair of rapid blows. Khana tries to hit the dwarf, but her axe flies wide of the mark. Smiley dreams dreams of gold. So much gold. They are good dreams. Ayo notes Khana's move and tries to mimic it, with no more success than the half orc had.

Status, bold may post:
Ilsensine -
Pink (dwarf) - protection from good. (r1); A second image; 4 damage
Red (halfling) 5 damage
Ayo - shield of faith (r1)
Khana - 6 damage
<round 5 end>
Smiley 14 damage, unconscious, stable
Nigel - 19 damage, unconscious, stable
Rumble -protection from evil (r1)

Ilsensine kneels next to Smiley and places a hand on his shoulder.

Green tendrils of light swirl from her hand to heal some of his wounds.

"Wake up, sleepy one," she says.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Looks like this might do more to help Smiley than Nigel...

Seeing the odds against them, the dwarf and halfing try a bold move.

The dwarf, still with a second image up steps up to Rumble. The halfling also moves, lashes out with his rapier.

attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 2 = 19
damgae: 1d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + (6) = 8

The dwarf, now his companion is in place, strikes out himself.
attack: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 + 2 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Rumble is rocked, but stays on his feet. Just.

Status, bold may post:
Ayo - shield of faith (r1)
Khana - 6 damage
<round 5 end>
Smiley 7 damage, prone
Nigel - 19 damage, unconscious, stable
Rumble -protection from evil (r1) 13 damage, disabled.
Ilsensine -
Pink (dwarf) - protection from good. (r1); A second image(2); 4 damage
Red (halfling) 5 damage

Khāṇa continues trying to chop down the dwarf.

greataxe: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
illusion (1), or the real thing (2)?: 1d2 ⇒ 1
damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

As was sometimes said at my middle school in response to similar circumstances: "That takes SKILL!"

Rumble takes a 5' step to the northeast, trying to get away from the onslaught, as he was barely capable of standing.

Could someone please five-foot Ayo into a flank with Khana on the dwarf?

Ayo sees an opportunity to surround the dwarf, stepping up to swing at her.

Attack with Mwk Cold Iron Katana (flank): 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Dwarf (1), illusion (2): 1d2 ⇒ 2

Doubt that's enough to hit, but if she can within 5 of the dwarf's AC, that's enough to pop the image at least.

Smiley's eyes flutter open and he smiles at Ilsensine in thanks. Then he realizes where he is, stands up Move action and drinks a potion Standard action.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Feeling better, he glares at Red menacingly.

Let's dance, little man.

Khana swings.. and misses. While Rumble tries to get out of trouble.

Ayo swings and takes out the second dwarf. Smiley just stands and quickly chugs a drink.

Status, bold may post:
Ilsensine -
Pink (dwarf) - protection from good. (r1); No second image(3); 4 damage
Red (halfling) 5 damage
Ayo - shield of faith (r1)
Khana - 6 damage
<round 6 end>
Smiley 2 damage,
Nigel - 19 damage, unconscious, stable
Rumble -protection from evil (r1) 13 damage, disabled.

Ilsensine moves around a pillar and fires another arrow at the would-be sneaky halfling.

After shooting, she uses her chameleon ability to blend in with the walls.

MW longbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 181d8 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Also, sorry I can't offer more by way of healing. I can't afford a wand yet, and used my prepped CLW on Smiley.

Smiley has another potion of CLW for Nigel, but I think taking down Stabsy McShortstuff needs to come first, unless the group disagrees. Just let me know before it's my turn again.

Either could work - or not; I'd call it up to you.

A potion can't make me any more than disabled, so don't bother in the middle of combat.

That's kind of what I figured, especially if we get a low roll on the CLW. Sorry, buddy. Looks like you're sitting out a bit longer.

The halfling looks down in horror at the arrow within him.

After a quick assesment of the odds of the sitatuion he turns to run.

The dwarf, realising he is surrounded tries to pull back from the battle as well.

Withdraw action, Khana still gets an AOO

Status, bold may post:
Ayo - shield of faith (r1)
Khana - 6 damage
<round 6 end>
Smiley 2 damage,
Nigel - 19 damage, unconscious, stable
Rumble -protection from evil (r1) 13 damage, disabled.
Ilsensine -
Pink (dwarf) - protection from good. (r1); No second image(3); 4 damage
Red (halfling) 8 damage

Rumble pulls out his wand of cure light wounds, swaying back and forth from the heavy blood loss.

Ayo will following step as an immediate action after the dwarf, which means she will get an AoO as well

"Where are you going, dwarf? Do you think I will let you leave?"

Ayo follows the dwarf as he tries to escape, keeping pace with him just long enough to swing once.

Attack with Mwk Cold Iron Katana: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Crit Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

On her turn, she will either double move up to the dwarf or the halfling, depending on whether the dwarf is unconscious

he dwarf tries to run, but Ayo is too fast for him, dropping him to the ground where he slowly bleeds.

Rumble grabs a heal-stick while the battle winds down around him.

Status, bold may post:
Ayo - shield of faith (r1)
Khana - 6 damage
<round 6 end>
Smiley 2 damage,
Nigel - 19 damage, unconscious, stable
Ilsensine -
Red (halfling) 8 damage
Rumble -protection from evil (r1) 13 damage, disabled.

"Where do you think YOU'RE going?!?"

greataxe, charge: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

That damned arrow wound...!

Smiley sees his quarry getting away and runs as fast as his short legs will take him to position himself between the wily little halfling and escape.

Full round run.

"Bah!" exclaims the halfling throwning down his rapier.

"You got the notes, and looks like you got me. But I suggest you might want to let me go or the Aspis will seek revenge."

Ayo follows after, no longer feeling the need to rush but still keeping her sword out.

"I accept your surrender."

She kicks away his rapier.

"Why would the Aspis care one bit about a small time minion such as yourself?"

"Bah!" exclaims the halfling throwning down his rapier.

"You got the notes, and looks like you got me. But I suggest you might want to let me go or the Aspis will seek revenge."

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Smiley looks uncharacteristically grim, glancing at the staggering Rumble and the unconscious Nigel. He shoots an annoyed look at Ayo, but is unwilling to bicker in front of an enemy.

I remember when me an' my brothers fought among ourselves. All we did was get all of us in trouble with Ma and Pa.

Fine, punk. He spits on the ground at the halfling's feet. He's all yours, Ayo.

He turns his back on them and moves to help Rumble and Nigel.

Does the wand have enough charges to help both? My CLW potion is available, but the wand is cheaper and I'll chip in for charges use at the end.

No real need at this stage, as you are all wrapping up now...

Khana can't tell if he is bluffing or not.

"Aspis always looks after their own. Bad for business otherwise. What say you let me go. Those others, well you can let them bleed out or not, up to you. I'll let others know you ain't to be messed with though." he offers.

Ahh well, I'll do the close here

With the Halfling surrendered, the group mays their damp way out into the plaza.

For the moment the rain seems to have stopped. The crowd all around drops into a quiet hush.

On the far side you see people clear a path from one of the main roads towards the fearsome pit and Starstone Cathedral.

A pillar of sunlight breaks through illuminating a knight as he talks his horse from a walk to a trod.

A sigh goes through the crowd and the knights horse breaks into a canter and then breaks into a full gallop.

What a spectacle. The knights pennon flies at the end of his lance and the horse is impeccably groomed. Like a bolt of molten silver and steel he hurls himself forward. The charger moving now at an almost supernatural pace leaps from the edge of the pit...

But the cobblestones are slippery from the rain and the perfect take off is ...not.

With a cry the knight and horse hurtle through the air, the crowd willing them onwards. But the slip is too much to recover from. The tip of the lance touches the land of the cathedral stands upon, the rest of knight and charger crash into the ragged edge of the pit three meters down and at a high speed.

They rapidly plummet from sight.

Khāṇa resists the urge to break into a guffaw, and contents herself instead with a soft grin.

Har, har, har, har, HAR, HAR, har, har, Har, Har, Har, Har! Ooh, that's funny!

Smiley is not so circumspect.

"Am man and horse ok? Rumble has healing wand to fix them," he explains, loving to the edge of the pit, or as close as he could get thereto this round.

Making your way through the crowd, horrified by the beautiful knights fall, you find your way back to Drandle.

Drandle Dreng thanks you for your successful investigation, indicating his interest in your future careers as Pathfinders.

A few days later you get a missive...

Closing handout linked above. BTW, those of you who have not done this recently... it has changed from the previous season...

Thanks for the game everyone. I'll mark this inactive in a few days.
