[PFS_CORE_Aerondor] 03-Special Blood Under Absalom (tier 1-2) (Inactive)

Game Master Aerondor

Sir Ninn continues to struggle ineffectively with the monk.

Sir Ninn launches an attack, the the monk barely deflects, and then Faeria steps up to the plate.
will: 1d20 ⇒ 7
And drops the monk in a blaze of lights.

Unfortunately for the group, another of the masters disciples peels off from standing around him and moves to intersect the group.

Sir Ninn de Hawtey -
Faeria . may act twice
Amarion -
Deluge - 1 damage;
Elneth 1 CON and 1 WIS damage
Victoria - 3 damage,
Monk #2

Amarion darts forward to spray acid in the general vicinity of the monk. How many of you are willing to be defeated for your master?!

Acid Splash: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

"Witchery! Where are you truly coming from?!" shouts Elneth desperate. She then feels Amarion guiding her "I will not fail you!" and moves to a position where she can ready against the monk if it closes up to the group.
Readied attack: Grateaxe+diviner's fortune: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 1 = 16
Slashing damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Just to confirm, the new monk is the pink or cyan guy on the east edge, right?

"Another one? Sheesh. They're like rats."

Deluge moves over closer to the Monk but not within easy striking distance. Them monks pack a whallop when they get to work up all their mojo.

Amarion misses with his acid.

To make life easy, from this point onwards they are effectively AC 17 to melee, and AC 16 for touch. Remember 20% miss chance from blur!

Sir Ninn rushes across the room, cutting off the next monk's movement.

The monk lashes out at Sir Ninn
attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Missing by the barest of margins.

Sir Ninn launches an attack, the the monk barely deflects, and then Faeria steps up to the plate.

And drops the monk in a blaze of lights.

"See. This is why I should have come in first. Excuse me!"

The "Kiang Zhen" rushes forward, swings her big honking oni weapon with one hand while twiddling her claws with the other and repeating the magic words she used six seconds before.

What weapon was Kiang Zhen outfitted with back at the tavern?

He had a great club.
will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
rounds: 1d4 ⇒ 3
This monks too is taken by surprise. However, unwounded, he fights on.

To make things faster you can all post four rounds of actions (5 for Victoria). He is flat footed being stunned. Victoria, for the first round he won't be flat footed vs you and he is an able opponent, so no worries about honor there. For reference, his AC for these rounds is effectively 12

edit: Added damage to Sir Ninn due to no dex to AC from running

Amarion tries to distract the befuddled defensive instincts of the monk on Elneth's behalf, Aid another 4 times and then move back to my present location
Aid Another: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (14) - 2 = 12
Aid Another: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3
Aid Another: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18
Aid Another: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3

Four rounds of attacks minus the banter coming up...

To Hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 5) + 1 = 11

To Hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 4) + 1 = 10

To Hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 2) + 1 = 9

Yea, Deluge seems to be taking out some sort of frustration on the monk, landing blow after blow on the sleepy monk.

The team descends on the poor monk, and Deluge gives him a right Whopping with the druids enchanted staff.

The action pauses for a moment while a third monk breaks off to keep you away from the master.

You are all up again

Edit: Checking blur

After four rounds of dancing on "Kiang Zhen's" part including the moonwalk, the heroes are confronted by another 'ninja'.

"OOO!! I HAVE SCROLLS TOO!!" The oni shouts holding a fistful of scroll cases!

Move, pull scroll!

Acid Splash: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Acid Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2
Blur: 1d100 ⇒ 3

Amarion fires off another cantrip clean through the fuzzy outline of the approaching monk before dashing for cover behind his party members.

Amarion fires off another cantrip clean through the fuzzy outline of the approaching monk before dashing for cover behind his party members.

"Wait! Why aren't you casting real--albeit first level--spells?" The oni asks of Amarion over the din.

GM - Code Grey

Because everyone here speaks Taldane!

"Huh? Oh! I keep two scrolls for that! Did you need one?"

No you lunatic - Because everyone here already speaks Taldane!

"Do you know that because you're a diviner? That's cool. Is that something they teach standard in divining school?"

The monk facing you winces in pain as he cops a lightning bolt from a nearby contestant.

"I am the match of all of you. Don't even think about trying more of your colour magic, I am prepared."

"Really?! You have to pop up over THERE?"

Deluge chases the next 'rat' down, puffing and gasping as he dashes towards the other side of the stage.

Yeah, but we're still ready for him. We knew in advance that he spoke Taldane!

Elneth charges over the next monk " You will pay for your bravery! Come all ensamble!"
greataxe: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

At the next opportunity she slashes again.

Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

***OVERSEER POST***

Please see the following post

Well done everyone./

Just surviving is quite a challenge at times and you all did a fantastic job. I wasn't tracking how many wand charges you went though, but I think the local temples will be doing a good business in replacement items over the next few days!

I'll try to get chronicles out ASAP.

We also have a voucher winner in our table. Hurrah I *think* is is Victoria (wow, boon and a voucher, you did well!) but Shifty will be confirming if I got that right over the next few days.

Without warning, the entire cavern begins to shudder. Atop the dais, Sifu Xho Nuo’s slight form begins to glow with a soft, white light. Slowly, without breaking his meditative stance, his body rises, levitating a few feet above the dais.

Then without warning, a burst of bright energy ripples from his body, striking all of his disciples and causing them turn gaseous and explode in a shower of rose petals. The Emissary remains motionless, amidst the fluttering petals, waiting for his new champions to claim their victory.

The cavern is thrown into chaos from the ripple of magical energy as the Emissary finally allows touch, and the assembled horde rushes over each other to get to the top of the dias! From the throng of warriors, a single arm reaches forth and touches the Emissary - It is Davorin of the Silver Crusade!

Slowly, the Emissary opens his eyes and his body unfolds. Standing before the crowd, he bows graciously and his mouth curls into a contented smile.
“I’m truly touched by your efforts; this has been a stellar competition thus far. To those who have fallen, I give my heartfelt regret and sympathy—however, I seek only the greatest warriors"

“To the rest of you now standing before me... Congratulations! You have all succeeded in qualifying for the illustrious Ruby Phoenix Tournament. But be forewarned— tonight’s competition was mere child’s play compared to what is to come"

“Still, for the moment you should celebrate, for yours was a victory not easily won. But waste not too much time in celebration, for soon enough you must travel to Goka on the western coast of distant Tian Xia to compete against other competitors from across Golarion of your skill... or better. And for this, you must be ready.”

Upon his parting words, Sifu Xho Nuo vanishes in a puff of pale white smoke.

"That guy is..."

"...so cool. Next year I'm really going to train and give it my all."
