Game Master Aerondor

I prefer to jump !

Taking running start, D'lack tries to jump over the stream, hoping to get far from the hungry fish !

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Lasaraleen will try to assist with the jump.

"How about a boost"

Acro assist : 1d20 - 6 ⇒ (14) - 6 = 8

Your rolling is excellent, and with the four player adjustment, you are rocking through this. Roll for eggs egg survival: 2d20 ⇒ (20, 11) = 31

Hanging Around
After leaping the pool you spot the Aspis agents trying to cross a deep pit by swinging on vines. You can try to Shoot the Vines (ranged attack) and slow your rivals, or you can take a moment to Find an Easier Path (perception) up the ravine.

Aww man, I wanted to smack the dinosaur. :(

Iago looks around desperately. "Giant lizards... Lizard men... Aspis agents... This whole place is dedicated to murdering us!"

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Lasaraleen agrees with Iago's assessment on the path's location.

"Yes, that path looks much easier. Quickly.

D'lack follows his comrades through the path they found.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

I agree !

Iago will look back with fond memories at the time he managed to land a good one right in the eye of the Dinosaur. He can have had the 20!. Of course asleep he'll have nightmares about the short-sword length teeth and breath so bad that even an Otyugh wouldn't want to hang around.

Iago and Lassaraleen spot a good way up the ravine at the same time.

Dense Foliage
Big dinosaurs can’t fit through tight spaces, and you can slow its pursuit by slipping through a particularly thick copse...

You can either Go Through the Weak Spot(know nature) or Squeeze Through (escape artist).

Survival: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 = 10

D'lack tries to squeeze through the dense copse.

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Survival: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

"If someone knows a lick about natural environments, now is your time to shine!" bellows Iago over the not-so distant roar of the creature in hot pursuit.

Escape Artist: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (17) - 3 = 14

Lasaraleen will try to assist the others as she is not skilled in woodlore at all.

"Sorry Iago, I am no druid or ranger, but that looks like a spot D'lack!"

escape assist: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (20) - 4 = 16 Dang, probably should have saved that

gul escape artist: 1d20 ⇒ 12
That that is matters really, the DC for that is a base of 27 (don't ask why it is so hard, it almost seems like a typo) +4 more for the smell (not sure why, some are harder with the smell and it makes sense but this one?), even with the -2 four player adjustment the DC is 29, and you made a credible 22. One failure is not too bad

The Dino is snapping at your heels! Arrghhh!
Breakneck Race

The ravine wall is just ahead, and the Aspis Consortium agents burst from another stand of trees and race for the same set of handholds. One of the trees growing along your path bears a single glowing fruit known as a Kaava sun pear.

You may either try to Sic the Dino on them (handle animal) or Beat on Them a Bit (attack roll). You may try to grab the pear, to do so, you must make two attempts at which ever task, taking the lower result. You must then make either an acrobatics or Climb check (DC15).

Lasaraleen will attempt the attack to beat them back a bit with a bolt of fire.

Get back you heathens!"

ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 for fire dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 5

LOL I knew I should have saved that 20

Iago skids in the midst of the Aspis agents, a bewildered look upon his face. "Ah. Erm. Well. This is awkward." he muses out loud.

Beat on them a Bit, Double Attempt: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Beat on them a Bit, Double Attempt: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

And with that he begins swinging his greataxe around. But our wise-cracking Chel gave the game up too soon, and thus, he is quickly reduced to climbing up to fetch the pear, or perhaps it is more accurate to say that he is reduced to climbing away from the Aspis, and in passing to fetch the pear.

Climb(DC 15): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14

Guill tries to Beat on them A Bit attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
And so does D'lack atk: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

But the pathfinder team is unsuccessful. Ignoring the Apsis for a moment, it turns towards the Pathfinders. Ut Oh.

Final Ascent
The cliff top is just ahead—and the tyrannosaurus right behind!

You may Climb as Fast as You Can (climb) or Drop a Big Rock on Her (STR or DEX check)

I will prefer to drop that big rock on it ! Says D'Lack seeing the Tyrex just behind them.

Dex check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Lasaraleen will make her attempt to push the rock.

Here goes nothing.

str: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21 Go she-hulk

Strength check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

"Seriously, go eat the Aspis agents, they taste better!

<crash> Tha tis one that will go down in the memories.

The pathfinder team sets off a mini landslide, one that takes a couple of Aspis agents with it. Looks like afternoon T-rex!

You trudge through the jungle, hauling your supply of eggs back towards the frog-folks odd village in the trees.

At the outskirts of the Krihirik village, grippli possessions lie scattered about as if they were dropped or tossed carelessly from the dwellings above. Where before gripplis hurried about the village, now none are to be found. Shouting from the direction of the elders’ hut carries through the empty jungle— “Find the others!”—followed by the loud crash of something falling to the jungle floor.

Well done ! Says D'lack seeing Iago and Lasaraleen droping the rock on the aspis !

=== later ===

Seems like our Kihiri friends are in trouble... and our dear Aspis competitors, not so friendly with them.

Says D'lack seeing the Kihiri possessions scattered around the trees.

He uses his wand of mage armor on himself then casts Shield

I expect troubles soon

"Run away little pathfinders. You're too late. As usual." mocks a voice from above.

A man can be seen on one of the cat walks, but he was not the one speaking.

Perception DC22: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

He guys, there is a black panther with a lot of scars running over its body hiding nearby, look ! whispers D'lack to his comrades.

He readies his crossbow to shoot at any aspis agent he could see.

Lasaraleen casts protection from evil upon herself as she tries to stay out of sight until a plan is devised.

"It seems they know we are here and they do not sound like Grippli! ."

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

"Well, like an agent I know used to say: "Go big or go home." Sometimes, he'd even say it in his native language... How did it go... "Yoko"? "Yomo"? I forget. He's dead mind you, but perhaps this is an occasion to apply his..." he stops, and just shrugs. "Ah, forget it. LATE HUH?" shouts Iago as he takes a step forward. "How about you come down here and tell us how late we are scarface? Tell me, do all Aspis agents end up this ugly or are you a special case? Ever think about washing your face? Forget about your face, how about washing, period? Anyway, when you're done rubbing your staff up there to all that grippli imagery, come down, I should be done messing around with your pussy."

arrow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
It seems the man is not amused.

The big cat charges at the closest pathfinder. Iago. And sinks its teeth into his thigh.
attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
crit attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 = 13
trip: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Iago - 13 damage.
Panther

This is a nasty battle, time to bring out the biggest guns you have.

D'lack casts Color Spray on the panther. Will DC14 or stunned hoping to get a few second of respite before the aspis strikes again.

Then he moves to give Iago or any other Pathfinder flank against the creature while drawing his morningstar.

May the gods be with us !

will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

The man on the walkway fires another arrow. This one at the dangerous sorcerer.
attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Are you AC 14 at the moment?

D'lack (possible hit)
Bad men

As put in my profile (in the spoiler) D'lack is AC22 :)

D'lack sees with satisfaction that his spell works far better than expected ! He's even able to dodge an arrow shoot by one of the Aspis' agent.

Got it. I missed your post back a bit saying you used the wand and cast shield. Fixed now.

I'm back, still have to read up on the full chase part. I don't think I used any more rage rounds, did I? I'm assuming I still have some left, so I'll use those.

Grumbling at the attack, Guillaume steps up to the tiger and brings his guisarme to bear. Nasty low-brow sons-of..

Guisarme, Rage: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 2 = 202d4 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 6 + 2 = 14

Lasaraleen will advance, and tap a cure onto Iago.

"Stand tall and fight my friend."

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Bleh! Well, keeps him from falling over

Guillaume strikes the black beast roughly. The task is made easier by its blind and stunned conditino.

D'lack sheets back his weapon and shoots with his heavy crossbow the man on the wood bridge.

Heavy crossbow: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 = 20
Damages: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

He is still up, but not very healthy looking. Good shot

Iago, looking rather woozy, casually remarks over his shoulder "I don't want to sound ungrateful, but may I please have some more?" and with the same dazed look he attempts to brutally bring down his greataxe on the cat.

Greataxe, Power Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 1 = 22
Damage: 1d12 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 3 = 8

The man on the walkway topples slightly as he is hit by the crossbow bolt.
acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
But manages to keep their footing. They dash back into the hut.

Bad man 11 damage

"That's a tough pussy cat..." remarks Iago, his eyes widening in surprise before shrugging and striking at the panther again.

Greataxe, Power Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 4 - 1 = 17
Damage: 1d12 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 3 = 8

Lasaraleen shouts back.

"Lovely axe-work on that dreadful cat.
Now how about finding a way up. Is that a ladder I see?

She taps Iago again and then (assuming cat still out or dead) makes her way towards the ladder on the ground to the west.

wand clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 Sheesh - well I thought we had some potions or something too.

I have a wand of ClW, but I can't remember if I gave it to you.

Yeah - not a problem on the wand - they are good for out of combat healing.
For now we will concentrate on dropping the bad guys first and patch up after. I have a couple channels left as well.

With the last blow from Iago the cat collapses onto the ground. Disabled but not dead.

Las continues the slow process of healing up Iago.

D'lack takes his time to reload his heavy crossbow. full round action

Don't see any other mean to get up except, climbing the trees... Says D'Lack when Las asks for a way up.

Climb the trees it is, then Guillaume exclaims, trying to climb up the tree with little success.

Move to the tree, and climb up

Climb: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9

One more round of rage left

Iago looks in disbelief at Guillaume as he points to the ladder that lays upon the ground.

The ladder does look like it would be easier than climbing.

Guillaume tries to climb, but finds it difficult.

Panther stunned for one. 30 damage, disabled.

Iago hustles towards the ladder. (Double move. Can't even pick the damn thing up.)

Lasaraleen will sheath the wand (move) and step over to the ladder to try and pick it up and lift it into place (not sure how many move actions that takes).

"Get ready Iago. Let us see if this will reach.

Guillaume drops out of rage, and huffs and puffs over to the ladder.

Fatigued 1/4, 1 rnd of rage left today

D'lack casts acid splash on the panther hoping to get it down then moves to help his comrades with the ladder.

RTA: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11
acid damages: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

The panther stops struggling.

Together the team prop the ladder up against the walkway.

Panther stunned for one. 32 damage, dying stabilize: 1d20 ⇒ 2

"I hope the Dawnflower isn't too incensed with me that she's withholding healing, otherwise it'll suck to be me on the way down.

And on that semi-confident quip, Iago moves up the ladder.

Double move. Do I see Daggers McGee?
