[PFS/DMK] 0-13 The prince of Augustana (Inactive)

Game Master Kludde

Shayla takes a two-handed swing at the only demon she can reach from her current position.

Longsword, two-handed: 1d20 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 1 + 3 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

If Shayla takes the demon down, she moves to the square west of the remaining demon.

Between the intimidating wails of the Eidolon, neither Chyras not Shayla manage to break through the cover of the demon.

Cyrus draws his longsword holding his defensive stance but strikes at the demon in front of him with a quick thrust.

24 AC for round

Cyrus continues holding the choke point, creating a barrier the demons cannot penetrate. His strike even manages to hit the evil outsider in front of him

@DM: How come Shayla's attack misses with the same attack roll as Cyrus' succesful attack? Is it the cover?

Yup, -4 for cover

Max moves up and, noticing that Shayla is having a difficult time, decides to help her out with that.
"Try that again, Shayla..."
He reaches out and pokes her, pushing energy through his digit and empowering her with Touch of Good.

Shayla's eye twitches when Maxwell, a human, pokes her side. A chill runs up her spine, but Shayla manages a deformed smile when she realizes Maxwell is helping her. "Thank... you..."

Have to disinfect these clothes later.

Drawing a puzzled look from the elf, Maxwell brings down a shard of divine favour on Shayla.

Dretch

Parumartish reaches into his bag and retrieves his acid flask before conjuring another glob of the corrosive substance to serve their foes.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Acid Splash Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 What a waste of max damage. Ha!

This is the moment where I ask for someone to post Hothan's move, and Hothan posts his move.

FYI, I'm using 36 hours timeouts on this - if someone doesn't post within 36h after their turn coming up (it's now 48+ hrs since that), I let others post an action. I will always ask for it explicitly.

Hothan looks mockingly at the mob. He raises his falcion to strike.
Swing falcion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Dmg: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 = 8

Hothan's falchion strike fails to connect. The demons keep pushing on the stalwart defence of Cyrus, but the mess of claws does not affect the fighter in any way.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 - 4 = 14
Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 - 4 = 1

Everyone is up!

Cyrus strikes again from his defensive stance.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 3 - 4 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Chyras lobs another orb of acid at the dretch.
Acid splash: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Dmg: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Alanya screams at the dretch again, another attempt at appearing as a bloodcrazy woman.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

16 again for Cyrus, so pretty sure the demon's now down. If not, Shayla attacks the demon that blocks the passage with the rolls below.

Cyrus takes down the demon in front of him, and Shayla moves past Cyrus. Shayla circles around the remaining demon until she's west of it. This probably provokes an attack from the demon, but Shayla doesn't seem to care much. "I'm sick and tired of your ugly heads!" Shayla yells at the remaining demon, and swings her longsword at it.

Two-handed swing: 1d20 + 1 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 3 + 1 = 9 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Shayla's frustration throws off her aim, and the swing goes wide. "Darn it!"

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
Acid Splash Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Cyrus takes out another one of the demons. With a >poof< it disappears, leaving only a single one of the drenches, snarling evilly at the fighter. Alanya snarls right back, and manages to shake the creature, looking less certain of its case. Shayla manoeuvres herself past the last creature, who rakes a claw at her when she drops her guard.

AOO: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 - 2 = 7

Dretch

Max doesn't see anything he can help with at the moment, and decides to wait to see how things develop before deciding to do anything. All told, he would rather not get in the way with all those sharp weapons swinging around.
Hold Action

"Chyras move your pet back so I can fight she is breathing down my neck." Once Alanya moves Cyrus feints at the demon then steps back 5 feet giving his allies a clear shot. As the creature follows him Cyrus slices at it.

Attack Normal: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Someone post a move for Hothan?

Seeing another of the demons fall, Hothan commands Freedom to attack the remaining dretch as he follows Shayla past the bottleneck to strike with his falchion.

Hothan
Melee Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Falchion Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1) + 4 = 8

Freedom
Fly (DC 15) to Hover: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 It seems like it would need one to stay in the same place and full attack if it can.
Bite Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Bite Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Edit: In retrospect, a full attack might not be possible for Freedom.

Chyras looks with an eyebrow raised.
With a hint or irritation in his normally relaxed voice;
"You don't really know much of summoners and their eidolons do you?
They are not mere "pets"."

Chyras readies another glob of acid in case the thing comes back.
Acid splash: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Dmg: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Alanya looks with irritation at Cyrus.
"I am not a pet. I have a name, thank you."

Alanya moves past Cyrus, 1 square above the bottleneck, unless the monster is still around the corner, in which case she will move to assist Shayla.

GM, Alanya's attacks are magic.
Claw #1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Claw #2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

The falcon pecks away at the remaining demon, while Hothan's falchion only barely misses. The dretch, craven though the creature is, happily sinks its fangs into the elven warrior.

Attack, Shayla: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 181d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Attack, Shayla: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 241d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Confirm, Shayla: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 161d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Shayla takes 3 damage

Cyrus moves back to lure the creature in, but it is already trapped behind frenzied warriors coming in for the kill. The eidolon, Shayla and Hothan all face the lone remaining demon.

Finish it!

Dretch (11)

The demon attacks Shayla and sinks its fangs into her. "That all you got?" Shayla scoffs.

Two-handed swing: 1d20 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 3 = 7 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Despite her big mouth, Shayla misses her own attack again.

The day started so good! What's up with me?!

Shayla lets go of her longsword with one hand, then draws her short sword with it.

I thought I'd overcome a non-human's defense easier with a single, more accurate, attack... Perhaps not... I'll try spreading my chances versus this thing.

Shayla swings at the final 'ugly Dobby', but doesn't connect. The drench is cornered, and looking more and more desperate by the second.

Dretch (11)

Max moves into the other room, only to find that the remaining creature is cornered and fighting ferociously, somehow fending off numerous attacks.
Whatever this thing is, it certainly wants to live!
Unable to get close enough to assist, he watches for a chance to help afterwards if possible

Paru moves into the smaller chamber hoping to get a better angle of attack and releases another glob of acid.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Acid Splash Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

I'll have Hothan take a 5' step and delay until I have this sorted out

The tight combat continues. While parumartish tries to get a glob of acid on the right silhouette, his prudence causes his to miss again and again.

The dretch, like a cat in a corner, lashes out at Shayla and the Eidolon

Attack, Shayla: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Attack, Eidolon: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 211d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Alanya takes 2 damage

Dretch (11)

Chyras moves into the room, conjuring another ball of acid.

Acid splash: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Dmg: 1d3 ⇒ 3

...Ugh...

"Hey! Now you really need to be put down!"

Alanya looks irritated and lashes out.

Power attack on the claws
Claw #1: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 4 - 1 = 20
Dmg: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8
Claw #2: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 1 = 18
Dmg: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11

Chyras' acid splash misses, but the annoyed eidolon more than compensates for that: the first claw lifts up the dretch by the doughy belly flesh, and the second claw rips it open. >POOF<, the final dretch disappears.

Combat over!

Congratulation! You have managed to save the (I)(E)mp(e)(o)rium of Gandros, self-proclaimed prince of Augustana. His 'realm' is safe for him to return home to. Of course, he would be better off in an asylum as his "new royal palace".

Upon returning to the surface, Gandros magnanimously grants 'any item from his palace' as a reward. Much to the dismay of VC Wallace, there is no otherworldly portal in the sewers. The VC is mostly self-satisfied that the whole thing was a waste of time, just as he predicted.

Congratulations on making it out of the sewers in one piece. Please make day job rolls, and I will report the scenario and hand out chronicles. I have PFS numbers for everyone except Chyras. Chyras, would you be so kind as to PM me or post it here?

Feel free to role-play out the final reporting to the VC, and the interaction with Gandros while I work on the chronicles

DM, could Chyras work as a translator with his Linguistics? Or support negotiations with Diplomacy?

Post DM comment:
Ok, i'll see about that some other time. He'll skip the job for now then.

For day job, you mean? Only if you have the required vanity - unless you have that, it's perform, craft or profession, provided you have it as a trained skill

IMO, getting a vanity is not worth it (unless it fits your character, of course): you can use the 2 pp for a 750 gp item - it'll take a lot of day job rolls before you make that amount of money...

Shayla sheaths her weapons and flexes her muscles. "Bet it got scared when I drew my other weapon, so it fled. Ha!" Shayla jokes.

"Good job, guys!" Shayla looks rather happy when the mission's reported and over with. She even smiles at her human companions for a split-second.

After the mission's finished Shayla visits a local weapon smith in search of a Day Job. To Shayla's dismay the weapon smith is human, but she takes the job anyway. After one hour of constant glares at her employer, Shayla's told to leave.

Day Job (Craft): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

@GM: I sent you a PM about the vanity Hunting Lodge membership before, but I'm passing on that after all. I'd rather take this opportunity to spend 2 PP on a Masterwork Darkwood composite longbow with Str +3.
