PFS by PbP scenario TBD (Inactive)

Game Master Brayden Green

Let's go brother. Gryne says to Amnur as Gryne charges the man with his Hammer:
ATK: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 - 1 = 7
DAM: 2d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2) + 2 + 1 = 8

Slipping her rapier from its scabbard and shaking her head, Shilyn gets ready to help the dwarves.

Hoping to startle the man at the table long enough to let Gryne get into range, she addresses the man still unaware of their presence. "You know, those goblins really made a mess of your lab," she says loud enough for him to hear, "You should think of getting new help."

@Shi: Are you saying this before or after the dwarves close in? Because at least Amnur is close enough he can start the surprise round and leave the target flat footed. Gryne would have to make a Stealth roll to get inside enough to do so, but that'll probably fail if you give the guy a warning first. If you wish to engage him and diplomacize first, though, we an do that :)

After Gryne / Amnur act. She was too busy gazing around the room to act before Gryne mentioned the charge.

@Gryne: Your blow swings wide and misses. It easily gets the man's attention...

@Amnur: But not before the paladin's swing cleaves into him.

@Shilyn: The man curses after Amnur's axe cuts into him. "Interrupt the work of the great Krenar will you! You'll be my latest experi-" and is cut off by a pair of arrows from Orion and Mylvwara.

Orion arrow @ man: 1d20 + 5 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 4 + 1 = 15
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7
Mylvwara arrow: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 3 - 4 = 16
Damage on hit: 1d8 ⇒ 1

A pair of thuds follow each arrow. Krenar curses once again and starts fiddling with a sack at his side...

Init Order:
Krenar
Orion
Gryne
Shilyn
Metal Snake
Mylvwara
Varian
Amnur

Round 1 Start!

Krenar steps to the side of his lab table and throws a pouch at Gryne which explodes!

Krenar bomb @ Gryne touch: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Fire Damage on hit: 3d6 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3, 4) + 3 + 3 = 17
Amnur Reflex save for 1/2 of splash: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Amnur luckily braces himself, covering his face from the blast, but Gryne is not so lucky.

Gryne, you're at 1 HP! Amnur, you took 3 fire damage.

Orion steps up to double tap around the corner, hoping to wound the man more.

Orion Rapid Shot 1: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 - 2 = 21
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5
Orion Rapid Shot 2: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 1 - 2 = 14
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Another arrow lands solidly into Krenar's chest!

@Everyone: Can I get Perception checks from you all?

OooooWWwwwwWWWw!!!!!

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

@Varian: As you move into the room, you realize that the green gas on the floor is gone all around Gryne (Gryne's square plus all adjacent squares)... and that you saw the gas produce some smaller explosions with it when the bomb went off.

"The green gas... I think it's explosive, and enhances his bombs... Perhaps standing near Gryne where the gas is cleared might help to avoid the secondary explosions from the gas if he throws another bomb..."

Oh, to have a 'gust of wind' spell right now, sigh

Don't worry Gryne, much as I'd like to nail this guy, healing is coming, assuming the snake doesn't attack me, that is.

Not rolling perception as it seems to have been made public knowledge at this point.

Amnur steps toward the man, swinging again for the troublesome bomb-chucker. "Hold still ya worm!"

Waraxe Attack & Damage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 131d10 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

AC23 DR/1 Adamantine, HP 34/37

@Amnur: Swing and a miss!

Dropping her rapier on the bed next to her, within easy reach, Shilyn grabs her bow from her shoulders and an arrow. Setting the arrow to the string, she pulls back and takes aim at the alchemist.

When her thumb brushes the corner of her lips, she holds for just a moment longer before releasing the missile toward its intended target.

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

@Shilyn: The arrow flies right by the head of Krenar, who scowls at you for ruffling up his bed with your blade.

The metal snake goes to Amnur, the closest target.

Snake bite @ Amnur: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Damage on hit: 1d6 + 1 - 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 - 1 + (6) = 8

It's metallic teeth don't even get close to reaching the paladin's own metallic hide.
Botting Mylv and Varian

Mylvwara launches another arrow at the Alchemist, trying to keep ranged pressure on him.
Mylvwara ranged touch @ Krenar: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Damage on hit: 1d8 ⇒ 2

But the arrow lands with a thud into the table nearby.

Varian runs up to Gryne, applying a curative via his wand.
Healings: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

[ooc]Gryne, you're up to 6 HP now!

Amnur's swing again goes wide!

Round 2 go!

Varian moves to the clear area (should have already done that, but not reflected on the map) and again touches Gryne to heal him.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

ouch, sorry that was such a poor healing

Krenar steps back away from Amnur and prepares another sack. "Your singed corpse will make a fine addition to my exprients, dwarf!"

Krenar bomb @ Amnur: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Bomb damage: 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3, 5) + 3 = 13

Amnur takes the explosion point blank and is severely burned.
Amnur Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Gryne Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Amnur does pat down some of the flames so he doesn't catch on fire while Gryne, prepared for this attack, covers his wounded body.

Amnur, 13 damage to you! Gryne, only 3 damage to you.

Orion once again steps in closer, firing another pair of arrows.

Orion Rapid shot 1: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 4
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9
Orion Rapid shot 2: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 9
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5

Both arrows go wide!

Everyone else, can you stop the mad alchemist!

Amnur scowls at the alchemist and the snake in turn, feeling more annoyed than anything. He winds up and this time takes a shot at the snake, feeling oddly unconcerned by his own less-than-strategic position. "Die lizard!" he shouts, but it's unclear if he's speaking to snake or alchemist.

Waraxe Attack&Damage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 151d10 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

AC23 DR/1 Adamantine, HP 34/37

Shilyn quickly reaches for another arrow and lets it fly, hoping to put the mad alchemist down for good..

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

@Amnur: HP is 21 now, still good, but you're not at full health :P

Your attack solidly hits the snake... but the force of the blow bounces off the metal structure! Stupid snake has ridiculously high AC...

@Shilyn: This arrow lands with a thud into the armor, but not enough to penetrate!

Gryne reels back with his hammer and swings with an overhead smash on the alchemist.

ATK: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 = 15
DAM: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 2 = 8

I must have totally missed your last post about the bomb. How odd! And it was -12 hp with my DR, right?

@Gryne: Your blow only grazes the alchemist's armor.

The snake continues to try and harm the paladin!
snake bite @ Amnur: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Damage on hit: 1d6 + 1 - 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 - 1 + (5) = 7

And still fails to even glance at Amnur's armor.

Botting Mylvwara
Mylvwara, seeing Amnur and Gryne frustrated that the man keeps on escaping their wrath, summons a blob of grease to trip him up... or at least slow him down!

Krenar Reflex vs DC 16 Grease: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

The man tries to keep himself upright on the now slippery floor, keeping his legs wide to stay stable.

Round 2 recap:
Krenar bombs Amnur.
Orion double whiffs.
Shilyn whiffs.
Gryne, metal snake whiff.
Mylvwara greases area behind Krenar, but fails to trip him.
Varian steps up to try and heal Gryne again.

Round 3 with more accuracy!

Amnur moves over 5' west to hedge in the alchemist, not caring if the snake or man take a few shots at him as he clanks into position. His skin is an angry red from the explosion, or it could just be the blood boiling inside the now furious dwarf. "Enough of your tricks!" he howls as he swings, hoping to finish the man.

Waraxe Attack & Damage: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 = 181d10 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

*EDIT*
Climb DC10: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Krenar tries to slide away from Gryne while keeping his balance.
Krenar Acro: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

However, he can't both stay steady and move, and clutches the table to remain on his feat. "Want to play dirty elf?! Fine!"

Krenar then reaches for a vial and tries to drink it.

@Gryne: You get an AoO against Krenar!

After drinking it, a shimmering shield, barely visible, protects the disfigured man.

@Amnur: I'm going to need a Climb DC 10 check; that's his table you're on :P Make it, though, and I'll give you +1 to hit for higher ground![/ooc]

Orion, realizing he just needs to get an arrow to land, steps up more and fires a single shot this time.

Orion arrow @ Krenar: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 = 10
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5

However, this one goes over his target's head.
And I thought you guys were doing so good there :P

Edited my post to include climb check and +1 to hit for height. Does this mean he gets an AoO also!? :)

Varian creates a lucerne hammer and strikes at the alchemist from behind Gryne.

to hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
dmg if hits: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

to confirm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
addlt dmg if confirmed: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

what is it with these 1's??? the dice bot hates me

@Amnur: No, Krenar doesn't get an AoO from you or visa versa (your initiative being last and all), but I did forget to mention that kind of movement will provoke from the metal snake! Also... I gotta wait to see what others do before announcing the success of your attack roll :)

snake bite AoO @ Amnur: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Damage on hit: 1d6 + 1 - 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 - 1 + (2) = 6

As a heads up, in my other PbP of this room, the snake couldn't hit anyone either.

@Varian: Your blow will graze him from the side; the awkward angle of hitting the man and not injuring either of your dwarf allies is the only thing keeping you from crushing your foe's rib cage!

With her companions between her and the alchemist, Shilyn drops her bow and grabs her rapier from the bed beside her. Moving quickly, she attacks the snake trying to munch on Amnur.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
damage if flanked: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Botting Gryne/Mylv

Gryne AoO @ Krenar: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage on hit: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 6) + 2 = 13

Growling more, the dwarf continues his assault.

Gryne hammer @ Krendar: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Damage on hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Crit confirm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Damage on crit: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 6) + 6 = 16

Gryne finally lands a solid blow, although the invisible shield prevents it from outright smashing the man's chest in.

The metal snake, now seeing a new threat, turns to Shilyn and tries to bite her!
Snake bite @ Shilyn: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Damage on hit: 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 1 + (4) = 10
The snake latches onto the rogue's leg; not only does the bite itself hurt, but acid then spills forth from its mouth and ruin her boot!

10 damage to you Shilyn!

Mylvwara, seeing the shield making archery impossible for her, lobs a dart of acid, hoping to touch him.
Mylvwara ranged touch @ Krenar: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 3 - 4 = 14
Damage on hit: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Krenar finally looks haggered after the number of blows and arrows hitting him!

Round 3 go!

Krenar chugs another vial, hoping his defenses right now will be enough to save him.

Amnur, Varian, Gryne, you all get Attacks of Opportunities!

Varian takes a free shot at the alchemist, hoping to hurt him before he can drink that potion.

aoo to hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
dmg if aoo hits: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

If Krenar is still up after the onslaught of attacks coming in, Varian strikes at him again. If he's not up, he steps back 5' and strikes instead at the metallic snake.

to hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
dmg if hits: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Yelping in pain, Shilyn renews her attack on the metallic thing before her, seeing to find a weak spot to drive the point of her rapier into. "Dammit! That's my only pair of boots!" she says as she spots an opening and thrusts her blade forward..

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
damage if flanked: 1d6 ⇒ 1

HPs: 10 / 20

Amnur tries to get a strike in as the alchemist goes to take a drink...

AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 151d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

I guess I should have you roll for me from now on

I have had enough out of you!

AoO: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 = 24
DAM: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3) + 3 = 9

SWEET!
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 1 = 18
DAM: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 6) + 3 = 14

@Varian and Amnur: Your AoO does miss, the invisible shield preventing what would be successful strikes from landing.

@Gryne:Not a confirm... but it's all you need!

The alchemist nearly brings the vial to his lips... before Gryne's hammer strikes home once again, nearly shattering the man's shoulder. "Curse you dwarf!", is all he can muster before unconsciousness takes its hold over him.

Excellent! Only leaves the metal snake, which is still engaging Shilyn!

Orion, seeing Krenar dealt with, fires a pair of arrows at the snake.
Orion Rapid Shot 1 @ snake: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 1 = 21
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7
Orion Rapid Shot 2 @ snake: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 1 = 18
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 1 = 10

@Shilyn: Not good enough of an opening. The metallic casing the snake is made out of is incredibly durable and resistant!

The snake will continue to strike at Shilyn.
snake bite @ Shilyn: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Damage on hit: 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 1 + (2) = 9
This time, the newly ensorcessed woman's armor protects her from a nearly fatal stomach strike!

@Varian: Turning around, your hammer is the first to literally make a dent into the hide of the construct (Orion's just punctured it). However, you can tell that the material resisted the full force of your blow.

Still need Amnur and Gryne's real action for the round!

As a heads up, Amnur, you should probably get your own wand of CLW so Varian won't have to get one every other mission with you :P

@GM - Agreed

Amnur pats Gryne happily on the shoulder as the Alchemist falls, "Nice hit!" he compliments, then hefts his axe and strolls upward and around to stand north of the metal snake, moving unhurriedly and leaving himself open to for the snake to strike during the transition. Getting into position with the snake flanked between him and Varian he regards the snake, "In a moment we'll have you on all sides, you much for giving up?" he questions the dented metal creature.

Ready Action if snake attacks or moves - Waraxe Attack&Damage: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 281d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Crit Confirm & x2 Damage: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 = 261d10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 101d10 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

AC23 DR/1 Adamantine, HP 22/37

FYI - I moved Varian 5' back as his earlier post requested if the alchemist was down so he could attack the snake.

Psst.... your crits with the axe are x3! Add another 1d10+3 to that :P

Got it! Whoever wrote Amnurs stat bar was a total doofus!

After talking to the non-intelligent snake, Amnur winds up and splits the thing right in half with a mighty stroke of his axe! Gears and acid spittle out of the thoroughly destroyed automaton!

Combat will be over as Amnur dealt enough damage to nearly kill the thing twice over :P

The room is now quiet, other than the number of alchemical tubes still bubbling and slowly refilling the room with green gas.

Shilyn gives the metal serpent a kick as she moves to retrieve her bow. "Stupid metal slithering... ruined my boot. At least it's still wearable.. for now," she mutters.

Once she retrieves her bow, she walks over to the alchemist and pokes him with the tip of her rapier. "Um, this one's still breathing..barely," she says as she squats down and begins searching him for anything useful.. or deadly.

perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Amnur sighs heavily at the remains of the metal snake, "They never want to give up." he laments. Moving to the alchemist the dwarf checks the man for signs of life, and tries to see if he can be stabilized without bringing him back to consciousness. He then joins Shi in removing all items from his person he can find, looking for anything useful.

Heal: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

After all looting in here is done.

Satisfied they've rooted around enough, Amnur points northward, "How's that way sound to everyone? Shi, would you do the honors?" Removing the last traces of dead construct from his axe, Amnur stands at Shi's shoulder when she moves -a noisy, thick-bodied, and armored presence.

@Shilyn: As you look over the man, he's covered in a variety of vials... but your instincts tell you that only the larger ones are of use. Among them are:
a dark blue vial (potion of cure moderate wounds)
2 vials of acid
2 vials of alchemist's fire
a smokestick
a tanglefoot bag
a strange hourglass-like contraption that has the same dark blue liquid as the aforementioned vial
a green tipped wand (wand of acid arrow, 12 charges remaining)
studded leather armor
masterwork dagger
an iron key

Mylvwara spellcraft @ hourglass thing: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Mylvwara notes that the hourglass device is called an 'arcanolembic', a variation of an alchemist's tool that enhances potions and distillery. Any potion poured inside an arcanolembic and then drunk is treated as if its caster level was 2 higher. The potion inside of the arcanolembic right now is a potion of cure moderate wounds (which would then heal 2d8+5 HP instead of 2d8+3!).

@Amnur: Not good enough this round, unless someone aids you!

Anyone searching/looking anywhere else?

Fun note, Shilyn, you can use the wand now since acid arrow is a sorcerer spell! Even better, doesn't trigger arcane spell failure from your armor! Read up on the spell if you want a potentially higher damaging ranged option (that you can sneak attack with 30' if you surprise something later since it is a ranged touch attack) :)

Cool! Will do. What about the other 'stick' she picked up in the last room that she stuck in her belt? (She'll let Mylv check it out)

Shilyn looks over at Varian and asks, "Think you can use that healing stick? My leg's bleeding all over.. stupid freakin' metallic.." Her words trail off into a string of expletives in both Varisian and Elvish.

Better to save the CLW potions for later

Shilyn continues her search around the room, checking for anything else of use, forcefully unmaking the bed as she does, flinging bedding around like an Elvish tornado, still a bit miffed at the metal construct ruining her boot..

@Shilyn: It's also a smokestick, nothing fancy! On that note, you guys are better off using the potions, or at least some of them. You have 2 CMW pots, plus 5 CLW pots now. Those disappear at the end of the adventure, but Varian's wand charges are permanent :P
