[PFS_CORE_Aerondor] 06-19 Test of Tar Kuata (Inactive)

Game Master Aerondor

Sajan nods at Garn as he inspects the lift with Meredith.

A quick glance at the elevator makes you think it is not currently working.

Although a disable device or a relevant craft or profession check would be helpful. know(engineering) could be used to provide a substantial bonus on the fix.

Sajan shakes his head. "Mister Deluge - your knowledge of modern contraptions would be much appreciated here," says Sajan, pointing at the lift.

Deluge glances at the shaft, then back at Sajan, then back at the shaft, simply shakes his head and wordlessly moves on down the mine cart rails.

I wonder if he got the name wrong. I don't think I've EVER been called and expert in modern anything. The gods save us from modern contraptions.

"I guess we're walking..." Meredith shrugs and climbs out of the cart.

Can you all put yourselves and your pets on the map in the order you are walking? You can go two abreast if you wish.

Meredith guards the rear.

Meran picks a spot in the middle. "Walking it is." She pulls out her bow and waits for the others to be ready.

The group forms up and slowly heads down the passage. As you go down the atomousphere gets thicker and slightly harder to see through. However Deluge, in the front, notices what might be a torch providing some guttering illumination in the misty air. It is getting uncomfortably hot.

You will soon have to make fortitude saves or take non lethal damage from the heat.

stuff: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Ahead, the druid notices a man sitting down. After a few seconds he gives off a low bestial growl. It is hard to see through the mist, but he appears to be wearing heavy armor.

Would ensure elements work against this heat? If so...
As the heat starts to inch towards becoming unbearable, Garn pulls out a wand and activates it on each of the party, granting them some protection against the elements. (That should be 7 charges?)

Garn looks around the caverns and sniffs deeply, not liking the place. He doesn't like the strange man ahead, and he does not like people who would mistreat horses . And he was certainly getting uncomfortable in his skin. Without a word, he clenches his teeth, calls forth his primal connection and morphs...

... transforming himself into the form of a deinonychus, a dinosaur resident to his homelands Realm of the Mammoth Lords. He snarls softly, getting use to his new form then pads forward on his clawed feet with Snowball beside him, coming beside Deluge.

Sajan bows to Garn in thanks. The heat will be one less thing hindering his focus during the fight ahead.

Buffs: Endure Elements

Deluge is in no hurry to enter combat and decides to give the group an opportunity to buff up and prepare. He casts the Obscuring Mist spell before stepping forward into the open. Billowing clouds of moisture cover the entire party and the bestial man in armor too, slightly mitigating the smell and making it even harder to see anything. (fluff only. it still stinks)

This place is already so foggy, hopefully it won't notice anything is wrong until it is too late.

Endure elements would certainly be effective against this head.

stuff: 1d20 ⇒ 17

"Hey what?" says the man as the mist suddenly thickens around him.

I'm guessing you cast before going around the corner?

The thick mist makes it almost impossible to see further that your arm length.

Grog holds his axe and waits.

"Where is everyone?

I'm guessing you cast before going around the corner?

It occurs to Deluge that

He reverses course and heads back towards the group and whispers, "Guard ahead that way," while pointing to his last known location.

With frustration he realizes that nobody can see where he is pointing. Not that it matters as the man is probably on the move! With a few gestures and muttered syllables he casts shillelagh on his club, ready for the worst.

Meredith thanks Garn for the magic to endure the immense heat. "This is the one day I didn't ask for such protection."

Later on Deluge emerges from a cloud and warns the party. She hoists her shield and casts Magic Fang on herself. "I'll try to keep him held down... wherever he is in that fog."

Meran wipes her brow and thanks Garn. "I appreciate it. This heat is terrible."

She begins to sing her song to buff her allies.

Inspired Courage +1 Attack and damage.

The thick fog emanates from Deluge, causing all sorts of confusion.

Sajan stealths forward in the fog.

Move action: 40 foot move down the track, including double cost in gray squares due to stealth.
Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Move action: Sajan draws a potion of bull's strength.

With a gesture from his head, Garn calls on Snowball to follow close behind as he pads forward together with Sajan, although he makes little attempt to stay silent as the large claws clack ominously on the ground as he moves forward. Garn readies to attack should any creature comes close enoough with hostile intent.

The team hears the sound of not one, but several people climbing to their feet and drawing weapons...

Men?

The thick fog emanates from Deluge, causing all sorts of confusion.

I believe the fog remains stationary and does not move with Deluge.

Grog readies an attack if he can see an enemy.

attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

DAMAGE: 1d12 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

crit confirm: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

damage: 2d12 + 16 ⇒ (9, 7) + 16 = 32

He whispers loudly "Psst anyone friendly there?"

Deluge moves up a step to keep pace with everyone else and prepates to thump anyone that comes within range.

to hit club, readied, inspired: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10
damage: 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5, 6) + 1 + 1 = 13
*swish*

Sajan drinks his potion of Bull's Strength and 5-foot steps west staying within the mist (but at the edge of it so that he can see out).

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Buffs: Endure Elements, Bull's Strength, Concealment 20% miss chance, Stealth (DC26)

"There is someone in that mist" grows a voice.

[spoiler=Sajan]
You can make out four armored figures in the room. They line up shoulder to shoulder about twenty feet away[/ooc]

Still unable to see anyone, Garn continues to pad forward, with Snowball in tow, ready to attack anyone hostile that comes with reach.

talon, PA, inspire: 1d20 + 9 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 1 + 1 = 23 for dmg, PA: 1d8 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 15

Meredith double moves through the mist, emerging next to Deluge. "I'm only going to say this once: Surrender."

Sajan shows four fingers to his nearby allies, and points in the direction of the armored figures.

Meran continues to sing, and moves forward in the fog toward the sound of Meradith's voice.

As Garn and Meredith emerge from the mist a beatial roar of "charge" is heard.

The four figures quickly advance on her and Garn.

Garn, ready for such a move manages to score a nasty wound on one with his claw, but it is not enough to stop the man. Garn manages to avoid the attacks, but Meredith takes some hefty blows.

Sajan takes a 5-foot step besides Meredith, and from the fog comes a barrage of strikes towards the armored figure.

First Strike, vs. Flat-Footed AC if foe failed Perc. vs. Stealth 26:
flurry of +1 temple swords! + bull's STR! #1!: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 = 15 for 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8 slashing and magical dmg;

Flurry of misses - Core monk's specialty! :)

Meredith spits up some blood as the enemy rains upon her.

She focuses her fist and it covers in brambles. She swings her fist at the red-armored warrior.

Unarmed Strike, Magic Fang: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 = 22
Piercing Damage, Wooden Fist: 1d3 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 7

She takes a 5ft step back, into the mist.

Deluge moves up to the edge of the mist where he heard the commotion come from. Peering out he sees the line of thugs.

"You are better off striking them from withing the mist, you know." he says to nobody in particular. He then plops a DC 17 flaming sphere down on green.

Obviously not understand Deluge, Snowball hops forward glaring at the man that attacked his master, and attacks with maw and claws.

Attacking green. If he goes down, then transfer to pink.
bite, inspire: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 1 = 19 for dmg: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8 and if it hits trip: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 = 14

claw, inspire: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 1 = 19 for dmg: 1d3 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

Similarly disregarding Deluge's advice, Garn's predatory instincts in his animal form takes over and he rips into the man in front of him.

Sajan flurries out of the mist with his sword. the ground at his feet crumbles a bit. That pit edge doesn't look very safe.

Meridth strikes and steps back. As she does so, the two men in front follow her quickly. Step up feat

A ball of fire appears, right on top of the Green Knight(tm). He screams as his armor starts to heat up. Snowball, surprisingly not phased by the flames, rips more holes in the man. But he just growls his pain away.

Garn shows up the rest of the team, ripping the green knight apart, and then doing the same to the pink one.

"The party has started"

Deluge has the sphere follow red and heat him up as Deluge, himself, tries to connect with his enchanted club.

To Hit Club, inspired: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Unfortunately he is not inspired enough to do more than fan the vapors. To make room (and to protect his own hide) he steps back,

Grog swings mightily, but the mist throws off his aim. Deluge does no better, and to add insult to injury the flaming sphere is dodged by the red knight.

The two knights follow up the druid, seeing him retreat, although the knight in red continues to attack Meredith. Neither manages to land their blows however.

The sphere continues to follow red and Deluge makes another attempt to swat him away.

Mist miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 62
damage, inspired: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 3) + 2 = 10

Not liking the fact that he was followed, Deluge gets serious and puts the hurt on red, ducking back even further into the mist.

If red falls to Deluge's club the sphere goes after blue.

ref: 1d20 ⇒ 17
Deluge smashes the knight in red, but he remains standing, and dodges the sphere once again.

damage: 1d12 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
miss: 1d100 ⇒ 5

Meredith drops her shield and tries to grapple the red armored man.

CMB, Inspired: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 14

No dice.

Sorry I wasn't feeling well yesterday.

Meran continues to sing. She pulls out a wand of Cure Light wounds and taps Meredith. "Here you go."

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

GM, I'm assuming that Garn (and Snowball) can take their turns.

After taking down one, Snowball swiftly leaps around and savages the knight in blue.

Attacking blue. If he goes down, then step forward and transfer to red.
bite, inspire: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 = 12 for dmg: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9 and if it hits trip: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 = 27

claw, inspire: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 1 = 17 for dmg: 1d3 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

Garn snarls in primal fury as he tears through two of the men. He turns around, and goes after the knight in blue outside the cloud.

Attack blue. If goes down, transfer to red.
talon, PA, inspire: 1d20 + 9 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 - 1 + 1 = 11 for dmg, PA: 1d8 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 12

Garn and Snowball double team the blue knight. He doesn't look very well, but is still on his feet.

Meredith tries to grapple the red knight, but he again avoids her. Meran meanwhile gives the druid a bit of a helping hand with healing.

Grogs powerful attack is once again put off by the fog.

Sajan takes a walk through the fog to get into flanking position against both blue and red.

+1 temple sword + bull's STR + flank vs. blue: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 29 for 1d8 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 = 14 slashing and magical dmg.
