[PFS CORE] GM Chadius's The Dalsine Affair 2-21 (subtier 1-2) (Inactive)

Game Master chadius

I was right before Gratius in the init order, you seem to have forgotten to place me in the order.

If allowed Aritian begins his rage

will: 1d20 ⇒ 1+2 if raging
perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

I was right before Gratius in the init order, you seem to have forgotten to place me in the order.

If allowed Aritian begins his rage

Yes, I did miss you. Sorry about that.

Round 1

Dalsine
Colleen
Vash
Saldoc
Aritian
Torrential
Gratius

Its an illusion! He's not here! Saldoc waves his weapons thru the illusion of the man in an attempt to prove his point.

"Try near the bottom of the steps. I think it sounded like his voice came from there." He mutters, "if only they had given me a good bloodhound instead of a goat."

Torrential will cast Shillelagh and move into the spot where he thinks the voice came from. If he's right, he will not make it!

I moved his icon on top of the space. If prevented, please move him back east a space

Aritian will rush to the bottom of the stairs directly next to Torrential.

will save: 1d20 ⇒ 3

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Its an illusion! He's not here!

"Then who's that?"

@GM did Gratius hear anything ?

Gratius ready an attack on any enemy coming to range.

Ready Attack (glaive): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 +2 vs human
Damages: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 +2 vs human
miss chance (>50%): 1d100 ⇒ 44

I apologize for not posting under my alias

Remember, you can only disbelieve the illusion if you interact with the yellow-outlined image atop the stairs. You'll have to beat a Will Save DC 13 save to do so.

Colleen sees the weapon and Dalsine, but his laugh is so obnoxious... her eyes must be deceiving her.

Torrential enhances his weapon and advances, leaving himself wide open.
Rapier: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

He feels a rapier drive through his gut as Chalfon Dalsine appears underneath the stairs.

Round 1

Dalsine
Colleen
Vash
Saldoc
Aritian I'm not sure if you double moved or not
Torrential (4 damage)
Gratius Change your action?

I did not double move.

If Dalsine is revealed would I be able to attack him? If not Ariritan moves to the top of the stairs.

begin rage

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (5, 3) + 12 = 20

If I can't attack

will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Torrential enhances his weapon and advances, leaving himself wide open.

[dice=Rapier]1d20+9
[dice=Damage]1d6+1

"Looks like I was right. He's right here! Ouch. Mind if you take that thing out of my gut?"

Gratius will move and strike as an enemy reveals himself to them.

reduce my attack by 4 for cover.

Gratius drives his glaive through the now visible Dalsine. Aritian is unable to follow through.

Round 1

Dalsine (15 damage)
Colleen
Vash
Saldoc
Aritian RAGE
Torrential (4 damage)
Gratius

pirate parkour: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Colleen attempts to leap atop the table, then with one boot on the seat and one on top of the chair's back ride it to the ground and come up fightin' at the base of the stairwell.

"Well let's figure out which one of you bleeds."

rapier (favored enemy: hoo-mon!): 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 2 = 25 damage: 1d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6

THREAT

Confirm?: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 2 = 25 additional damage: 1d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6

Well that's eerily consistent.

With an ounce of derring-do, Colleen quickly slides a chair across the ground and drives her rapier right through Dalsine, causing him to spit up some blood. He won't be able to withstand another blow.

Round 1

Dalsine (27 damage)
Colleen
Vash
Saldoc
Aritian RAGE
Torrential (4 damage)
Gratius

Should we forgo ashes turn?

Vash delays, waiting for an opportune moment to strike.

Realizing he has to act quickly, Dalsine tries to cast and fight at the same time.

DC 17 Concentration check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Clockwise from Torrential: 1d3 ⇒ 1
Rapier, Spell Strike, Spell Combat: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 2 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Shocking Grasp: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 3, 6) = 18
That's 25 damage, ouch! You have 6 HP and 12 Con, so I think this kills you.
Dalsine drives his electrically charged rapier through Torrential, killing the druid outright.

Clockwise from Colleen: 1d2 ⇒ 2
Rapier, Spell Strike, Spell Combat: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 2 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
He turns his attention to the raging barbarian in front of him, driving his weapon under his ribs.

Round 2

Dalsine (27 damage)
Colleen
Vash
Saldoc
Aritian RAGE (7 damage)
Torrential (29 damage, dead)
Gratius

Saldoc will come down the stairs and try to stab the man!

Shortsword: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 for Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

I'll get you for that... next time!

HEY I KINDA LIKED THAT GUY WHAT THE HELL

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (6, 1) + 12 = 19

Ack! Sputter. Expire.

. Sorry just returned to civilization. Was camping and turned out to be no signal period.

will save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Vash moves next to Colleen and Gratius.

can't move myself on my phone. Can this be my move from last turn?

so who all is willing to toss In treasure to raise Torrential? I'll give up my whole share if we can get enough to raise him. His characters pretty interesting and it'd be a shame if he doesn't make it out of this.

Torrential who? ...Yes, he certainly lived up to his name says a person who was standing next to him at the end. Sure, after I spend a little on dry cleaning.

improved feint: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

rapier (favored enemy): 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 = 11 1d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7

"Whoa! It's really slippery over here... Where did the druid go? There was that bright flash and-."

Unfortunately I don't think we will be able to gather 5450 gp to raise our friend :(

You will pay for that Dalsine !

Gratius strikes the man with his glaive.

Glaive: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11
Damages: 1d10 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 = 10

So close with these rolls, guys
The party quickly swarms Dalsine, but they are unable to get past his defenses. Aritian comes closest, with the nobleman dodging his greatsword with unnatural grace. Colleen does manage to trick him, but is unable to get her blade past his armor.

Round 2

Dalsine (27 damage)
Colleen
Vash
Saldoc
Aritian RAGE (7 damage)
Torrential (29 damage, dead)
Gratius

Vash to end round 2.

Hey guys it may be a good idea to move into a flank. Assuming he deosn't move we can all get into a flank next turn except maybe vash. The to hit bonus should be enough to end him.

I assumed I could not yet flank without provoking due to the stairway. I'll be shifting over next turn.

so who all is willing to toss In treasure to raise Torrential? I'll give up my whole share if we can get enough to raise him. His characters pretty interesting and it'd be a shame if he doesn't make it out of this.

No need for that. He had ZERO experience. Torrential just happens to have a twin by the name of Deluge too :) If I had to lose a character, losing on on the first adventure is the best way to do it, and being novaed by a Magus is a nice way to go. I'm thinking Deluge will concentrate on the sling and fight from the rear after he hears about how his dear bro went.

Vash moves next to Aritian and Colleen and brings out his short sword. He stikes out at Dalsine.

short sword: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

still just have phone. Please move me

As Vash closes in and misses,
Dalsine prepares another mix of magic and finesse.

Concentration DC 17: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Targeting Clockwise from Colleen: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Rapier +1, Spellstrike, Spell Combat: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 2 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Shocking Grasp: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 2, 1) = 13

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 2 = 27
Crit Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Crit Shocking Grasp: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 5) = 14

36 damage to Aritian...I wish my PCs rolled this well
Another burst of lightning travels through his rapier, blowing Aritian off his feet. It doesn't look like he's standing up...

Targeting Clockwise from Colleen: 1d3 ⇒ 3
Rapier +1, Spell Combat: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 - 2 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

With another action he drives his rapier through Saldoc.

Round 3

Dalsine (27 damage)
Colleen
Vash
Saldoc (3 damage)
Aritian (43 damage, dead)
Gratius

I promise I'm not trying to kill you guys, but when Magi get lucky with their rolls this happens.

[ooc] I understand. Who's idea was it to add a shocking grasp magus to this low a tier? The burst on a magus is insane at low levels.

Torrential just happens to have a twin by the name of Deluge too :) If I had to lose a character, losing on on the first adventure is the best way to do it, and being novaed by a Magus is a nice way to go. I'm thinking Deluge will concentrate on the sling and fight from the rear after he hears about how his dear bro went.

Wisdom is indeed a monk virtue. Maybe he can team up with Agirran the Fury.

Seeing another fiery explosion consume one of her company, Colleen feels a fiery eruption building with in her. Hate burns her from the inside out. In a rage of impassioned swordplay she cries aloud: "Shoelaces!" And spares a glance at her opponent's feet.

bluff (improved feint, favored enemy: human): 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 13

mwk rapier (favored enemy: human): 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 2 = 25 damage: 1d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8
THREAT
confirm?: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 = 18 additional damage: 1d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8

Colleen has had enough of his magic-induced murder and drives her rapier through Dalsine. He collapses, dropping his spellbook and his goods.

Before the Dalsine mansion guards arrive, the party uses this time to gather the evidence that would link the Dawnflowers to Muesello. They also collect their fallen members.

Back in Absalom, you receive a letter from Muesello himself. He says the Dalsine family personally apologized to him, and gave him a generous gift. They said the family did not condone Dalsine's actions, and he will punished severely for the confusion he caused and the lives taken. Muesello also mentions the Dawnflowers are alive and well, and they plan to journey back to Taldor in a few months.

Musello also thanks you for your assistance in saving the Dawnflowers and exposing Dalsine's treachery. He regrets how his decisions cost the lives of not on innocent Dawnflowers, but also brave Pathfinders.
The End. Please report your chronicle info in the discussion thread if you haven't already.

Colleen gives the rapier a sharp twist before letting the man drop.

Saldoc, seriously wounded but alive, helps with carrying off his new but now lost friends. This is dangerous work! Maybe I should just be a street urchin.

Gratius was shocked by the death of a second comrade.
Before he could act Coleen strikes the man and he falls uncouncscious.

The price to pay for saving some people was quite high, may be too high but a mission is a mission and they've done their job.

he prayed for his comrades soul and go back to the lodge.

Hello everyone and welcome to the CORE run of 2-21: The Dalsine Affair.

This game is available for tier 1-7 PCs, with subtiers in the 1-2,3-4 and 6-7 range. It looks like we'll be doing the 1-2 subtier, based on who has signed up, but feel free to discuss it out here. Remember you can always bring a pregen character and apply the credit to your PC.

Note that the final battle may be rough. Maybe. I've had ones where it ended with a single spell, and others where a lucky crit prevented a party wipe.

Use this thread to discuss who you'll bring along. Please update your profile so it has a quick stat block. You can look at GM Chadius's profile for an example. This makes it easy to refer to your most important stats.

I was planning on being this guy. Stat block is updated, but waiting on a chronicle sheet to be corrected and then scan in all my chronicles tomorrow. As far as ready to play, he is all updated and ready, just won't have the last chronicle and final inventory tracking sheet up until tomorrow. The things I purchased for him are already incorporated into his stat block.

I need to set up his profile and such but we'll go with this guy.

William Hawk, reporting for mayhem.

Good to see you again Will Hawk.

I was thinking of bringing Auri, but could vary if everyone else wants low tier.

Auri is not big on subtle, but is more than happy to talk with folk rather than hit them with a sword. Just don't try and hide her (or her sword).

Thanks for letting me in!

I would like to play with Ledt, a halfling sorcerer 4.

I will have a check on him because I have not played it lately, but I think he is basically ready.

Character Levels: 3 + 1 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 20 Divided by 6 = 3.333333...

Right now it sounds like we will run this in the 3-4 tier. Aui and Saldoc would be out of tier.

No worries. Its the first rodeo for this PC so if he dies, he dies. I'll just use a made-up name for the chronicle and try again!

Auri will be out of tier no matter what with this scenario. My other option is Prisim, a second level sorcerer. Given we have Ledt that isn't fantastic in terms of character versatility. And would still have us in tier 3-4 but a little light on muscle.

Honestly, I think the current party sounds just fine as is. I could switch to my Ranger 3 if we were light on muscle but I think the party mix is good the way it is.

Fun note: One of the highest charisma parties I've seen. :)

Vash reporting for duty.

Right. Since it looks like we are going for Tier 3-4, I guess that I shall bring Radagast to the party ;-)

I only have a level one player. But no worries. Vash will fight hard.

Hmm. It looks like we have 7 PCs. I believe that's alright under PFS, but it may get a bit crowded. Check your character in on the gameplay tab when ready.

I'm planning to start in 1-2 days. Please check in on the gameplay tab.

Sounds good to me. Just want to let you know that I work 14 hrs on Tue, Fri and Sat. On those days I will post very early or very late but I will post.

So level 1, 1, 3, 3, and 4 have checked into the Gameplay tab.

1 + 1 + 3 + 3 + 4 = 12 putting APL at 2.1. That says I run the subtier 1-2 version.

It's actually 2.4, but that doesn't change the tier calculation ;-)

In that case, I will change my character, and bring something appropriate for Tier 1-2.

If ya'll don't mind, I'd like to stick to who I'm playing. I want to get him higher. :)

When it comes to day jobs, you all get a +3 circumstantial bonus from Auri. Hurrah! She knows who you need to know to get a good sale.

BTW for level calculation purposes, Auri is 5th not 4th. That may bump up the tier, sorry about the delay in posting, this wasn't showing up in my list of forums for some reason.

Join you with this guy :)

Okay, so that puts us at 1+1+3+3+4+5=17/6 = 2.833, which rounds to 3 (making us Tier 3-4)?

Gratius is level 2, need to upgrade his sheet

Will spins around three times, trying to keep track of who is on this adventure and who is not...

Uhoh.

So, I needed people to post into the gameplay tab so I knew who was playing what. But now 8 PCs have signed in and I can only run with 7 PCs.

The correct solution is to split this into two groups:

subtier 3-4
Auriferous
Will Hawk
Simon~
Ledt
Radagast the Brown

subtier 1-2
Gratius Laelius
Saldoc Tisbane
Vash Steel
One of my alternates
I'll make a new thread in a bit to resolve this.

I thought Radagast was being replaced by another PC?

If Redagast is changing to the lower subtier then we'll have enough to run both tables right now. But for now,

@GM could you suppress my character from the game ?
Thanks ! I will check on the tier 1-2 game :)

Going to a local Con Friday-Sunday (March 18 - March 20). Will be more scarce.

Oh crap, I forgot to ask!
