[PFS_CORE_Aerondor] 05-19 The Horn of Aroden (high tier) (Inactive)

Game Master Aerondor

We so rarely get a chance to use stealth in PFS I would like to give Tatiana a chance to do her thing, though I would like to fast forward it. No need to do this round by round. Just have her designate the area she is scouting and how long she will be at it and get it all over with in one flurry of rolls.

Tatiana finishes to do her scouting before returning to see her companions.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Once back with her comrades, she explains what she was able to see or guess.

Tatiana continues to silently circle the camp. Half way round she has detected nobody else.

Maybe put a "scribble" line on the map with her path and give me half a dozen stealth/perception checks, and I'll let you know anything else that you discover, or if something happens before you get back to the group.

Tatiana confident in her skills, get back to where she left her comrades.

Take 10 on Stealth (18) and Perception (16)

Titiana gets about half way round before the wolf, sniffing the air, lifts his head and starts to look around. Skirting the trees she is almost back to the group when it issues a single loud "Woof!" alerting the nearby man.

Silgil begins an enlarged person (using Magga's wand) and takes a step to the side.

Magga, keep in mind that if you want to be enlarged you will need to stay withing range, so no charging into battle for you. Or, if you do, just delay long enough for Silgil to get the spell off which with your sucky initiative is not long.

"One enlargeapation coming up! And, no, that is not a real word."

The man in blue stands, drawing his sword as he moves up to the wolf. The wolf itself sniffs the air before fixing its gaze on right where Titiana stands!

However it is the worlds of Silgil that eventually grab its attention and as it growls, ready for anything.

Both the man in blue and the dire wolf appear to have readied attacks while they try to find you. Pathfinders are up.

At the signal of Garn, Snowball charges out of the bushes straight for the man beside the wolf, aiming to bowl him over as he rips into him with his sharp teeth.

bite vs blue man, charge: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 2 = 20 for dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 and if it hits trip: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 2 = 20

Garn charges out shortly behind Snowball, similarly going after the man, hoping that Snowball would have tripped him over by the time he arrives. He leaps up and tears into the man with one of his powerful talon.

talon, PA: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 - 1 = 12 for dmg, PA: 1d8 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9

The man lashes out as Snowball barrels into him. He gives the leopard a nasty cut before he is knocked to the ground by the big cat.

Once down Garn savages him further, with a final scream he stops moving.

A cry of alarm and an arrow fly out from the north (red) but Snowballs thick fur softens its blow.

Darven moves up into the camp, drawing his sword as he move.

"Archer to the north" vocalizing it so the whole party can hear it.

double move.

Tatiana moves silently trying to use the cover of the trees and the noise of the fight between her comrades and the wolf to get closer to the camp.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

double move

As soon as Magga feels her muscles begin to grow magically, she runs up and slices open a 2-ft. long gash in the dire wolf's shoulder.

After completing the enlarge person, Silgil will cast a DC 18 spiked pit on red.

Darven moves quickly, while Tatiana tries to keep quiet. Magga dashes in, opening a huge gash in the wolf, after Silgil enlarges her.

Sigil, seeing an arrow come out from the north moves and open a pit under the archer. He tumbles in with a scream of terror and a crunch of pain.

Samildanach stands ready in case of another hidden bandit entering the battle.

From out of the tent bursts a large furry figure... half woman, half wolf - it takes in the scene and heads toward the battle. The giant wolf savages Magga.

interesting new development...what is that thing

knowledge nature?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Darven moves up to the strange beast and swings at its midsection.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
+2 to both attack and damage if it has the human sub-type

With one enemy taken down, from his master's cue, Snowball steps forward and rips into the large wolf.

bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 for dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 and if it hits trip: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 for dmg: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 for dmg: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Garn in his dinosaur form similarly leaps in after his faithful companion, tearing into the large wolf with talons and claws.

talon, PA: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 - 1 = 10 for dmg, PA: 1d8 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 = 11
talon, PA: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 9 - 1 = 16 for dmg, PA: 1d8 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 = 15
bite, PA: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 1 = 27 for dmg, PA: 1d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9
foreclaws, PA: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 1 = 18 for dmg, PA: 1d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

Silgil decides that the new arrival is the greater threat and tries to blind her with a DC 17 Glitterdust.

Knowledge: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 (either arcana, dung, engineering, history, or planes - though I suspect I need nature) to identify special defenses and abilities of the newcomer.

Know(arcana) is the skill to know about the creature

Daven advances on the werewolf, giving it a solid slash. "Think you can hurt me?" it snarls back in a surprisingly feminine voice.

Snowball and the dire wolf go at it fang and claw, but snowball has a hard time getting any solid grip on it. Garn joins in, with only slightly more success. But the series of wounds is certainly starting to tell on the great creature.

Motes of golden dust start to fill the air, highlighting the werewolf, but not blinding it.

Magga's halberd slices open another huge cut in the wolf's hide, and then the barbarian spits into the wound while staring at the newcomer. "You're next, dog lady!"

Oh yes, I think Snowball took some damage at this post?

The large wolf teeters, gnashes at Magga and then, almost comically, realises now is the right time to die. It does so.

@snowball, thanks.

Tatiana moves out of her cover and calls for The Lady of the Grave's cold to surprises the wolf lady.

RTA (flat footed?): 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 2
Cold damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 + sneak attack: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Unfortunately it was not her destiny to hit as her ray stops at one inch of her finger!

Sam continues to keep watch for other attackers.

The werewolf snarls with almost glee, seeing so many challengers before it.

"You'll all die!"

She screams, giving a massive blow to Magga that staggers for a moment even the huge woman, and then spinning around and dropping Darven with the follow through.

Magga takes a step back to get more momentum behind her lunge, and then thrusts the halberd spike deep into the werewolf's thigh. "Now this is the way real women fight. Last one standing gets to live!"

@GM: It may be relevant this fight: Magga doesn't go unconscious until 103 damage, at which point she is also dead.

"Hey, Magga, mind if I enlarge Darven with your wand?"

Silgil will start the spell if given the OK.

@ sigil, darven is in a pool of his own blood right now, so I would not waste it ob ne.

constitution check, DC 10: 1d20 + 2 - 7 ⇒ (15) + 2 - 7 = 10 lucky!

Noticing for the first time that Darven is KOed, Silgil instead casts Bull's Strength on Magga before she dashes off. Which means Magga should retroactively add the bonues.

Magga was in HTH since last round. Silgil would have to close on her to do that, so I've moved you up. Generally I just take stuff happening in post order unless anyone specifically delays for a particular action.

This will be my last post for a week.

Tatiana moves around Magga and tries again to shoot the wolf woman.

RTA: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 2
Cold damages: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

But again, she's unable to target the wolf lady!

Sorry for the late post. Been having a cold over the last few days. Getting better though.

With one enemy taken down, Garn-dinosaur signals for Snowball to go for the last enemy. He charges straight at the woman who smells like a wolf, hoping to bowl her over with his terrible bite.

bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 for dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 and if it hits trip: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Garn races around the opposite side to flank the werewolf with Snowball and tears into her with one of his razor-sharp talon.

talon, PA, flank: 1d20 + 9 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 - 1 + 2 = 16 for dmg, PA: 1d8 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 = 11

Tatiana fires another ray of frost, but the hot summer afternoon is playing games with her frigid aim. Snowball has less bad luck and gets in a good bite, but doesn't manage to trip up the werewolf. Which is more than can be said for Garn.

The woman swings her longsword in a viscous circle around herself, trying to keep the animals distant. Vast quantities of blood flow from the brave druid and his noble companion. She then steps aside to get out of her flanked position.

From the pit more sounds of failed climbing are heard.

Despite the terrible wounds Snowball has sustained, he continues to press on his attack. He steps up to follow along with the werewolf, then tears into her with his teeth and claws.

bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 for dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 and if it hits trip: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 for dmg: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Snowball is entheusatic, and on target. But the supernatural vitality of the werewolf prevents any of the attacks from actually hurting it. Snowball does however manage to knock the creature to the ground.

Garn snarls, more in concern over Snowball then the wounds he has sustained himself. He leaps forward following the werewolf, and with the same animal ferocity, attacks all out.

talon, PA, flank: 1d20 + 9 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 1 + 2 = 22 for dmg, PA: 1d8 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 = 11
talon, PA, flank: 1d20 + 9 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 - 1 + 2 = 12 for dmg, PA: 1d8 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 = 15
bite, PA, flank: 1d20 + 9 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 - 1 + 2 = 19 for dmg, PA: 1d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 13

With the wolf on the ground, Garn manages to get a couple of good attacks in, but the creatures magical fur prevents most of the damage.

Remember, stepping into the fire will hurt, it is still burning.

Silgil will exchange his wand of enlarge for a wand of magic missiles (dropping the former) and zap the Werewolf

"Anyone else want to be huge?"

MM: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Too deep into her battle lust to worry about a few burns, Magga walks right through the campfire and swipes her halberd down the werewolf's arm in a long, deep cut.

"Stand and fight, you cowardly cur!"

Huge sword and magical missiles slam into the werewolf, but it keeps fighting.

While unconscious, Darven dreams of walking through the jungle, walking towards his village. Where is wife and child are waiting for him. Hoping to get there soon. He feels a storm is coming.

Tatiana moves back and channels.

May Pharasma judge the souls of my comrades.

Channel (positive): 1d6 ⇒ 1

Darven and Magga feel that perhaps Pharasma has judged them not yet ready for the boneyard. The werewolf seems to agree, turning it's ire on Garn - and blood flows from a mighty wound.

"You're next " it barks at Magga.

"Keep degrading her, compatriots."

Once again, Silgil's outstretched wand bursts and another glowing missile finds its way to the furry opponent.

MM Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Oops! Totally missed/forgot the bull's strength.

Flames licking up her legs, Magga steps over Darven's body and thrusts her halberd spike into the werewolf's neck. "Next to kill you and carve your hide into new breeches!"

And with a final pair of magical missiles, and a large adamantine halberd, the werewolf goes down, hard.

Out of combat

From the tent it emerged from can be heard a faint sound of thumping, while the team quickly puts out the burning Magga.

Garn pads over to Snowball and nuzzles him with his snout, gently licking some of the wounds. He then moves over to Sanildanach, gesturing to the wounds on the cat and his own, as well as the healing wand he passed him earlier.

Assuming Samildanach helps with activating the wand, GM can we use average of 5.5 for CLW? If so, that is a total of 11 charges used.
