[PFS/DMK] 2-11 The Penumbral Accords - Table II (Inactive)

Game Master Kludde

Olga follows

This simple room of unadorned stone is piled from floor to ceiling with boxes and crates, with barely enough room left to allow the staff to squeeze between the towers of dusty, mothballed exhibits.

As soon as the adventurers step in, an icy howl is heard. An otherworldly shadow hound is chained to a side wall, baying loudly with a sound that chills the blood.

DC 13 Will or be panicked

Hound

Kelsier follows Kraang as well, but then turns and and runs away, dropping his glaive in the doorway.

Will: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

DM's discretion how far Kelsier runs. I assume not far since he won't have to move far to be safe from a chained beast.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
T-shirt Re-roll with Star Bonus: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 = 24

Kraang! moves along the edge of the room until he reaches the corner. He then enlarges himself once again and lays the smack down on the hound.

Enlarged Kraang vs Hound o' fear: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 251d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

"Bad dog."

Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Olga walks up to the shadow dog and tries to get it in a chokehold, growling loudly at it.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

"GRRRR!"

will: 1d20 ⇒ 3

does the panicked condition occur upon entering the room or as soon as the 1st person entered?

trying to figure out if I move once into the room then drop everything and flee? or before I take any actions, drop everything and full run from current location?

Will 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Ajah moves into the room and begins singing again, the invigorating tune fortifying the hearts of her allies.

Use Rallying Cry. Allies can use my Intimidate check as their Will save against the fear effect, including those who already failed, who get a second save with this check. 3/8 Bardic Performance rounds used.

Intimidate check for Rallying Cry 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Wow! That's great!

Will 1d20+2

Ajah moves into the room and begins singing again, the invigorating tune fortifying the hearts of her allies.

Use Rallying Cry. Allies can use my Intimidate check as their Will save against the fear effect, including those who already failed, who get a second save with this check. 3/8 Bardic Performance rounds used.

Intimidate check for Rallying Cry 1d20+8

Wow. Well, then Husarq and Mareq make the check!

Kelsier and Fronar start to panic at the sound of the hound, but Ajah is quick of mind and manages to turn the tide by rallying her companions. (Since Kelsier and Fronar acted before Ajah, they did drop whatever they were holding, and did spend an action running. Husarq still has to make a first save. )

Olga, undaunted, grabs a hold of the hound, making it easy for Kraang to strike the creature.

Also, it looks like I never moved up Husarq properly - did that now

Husarq attempts to withstand the howl of the creature.

Will Save DC13: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The terrible baying strikes some chord deep inside the efreeti. He drops his blade and turns to run!

Husarq runs out of the room, dropping his blade at Mareq's feet.

Mareq watches as his efreeti thrall flees like a coward.

After all his talk, all his bravado and immense hubris as the Lord of House Shamir, he cannot handle a simple hound's baying, he thinks to himself, remembering the innumerable times Husarq al-Shamir ridiculed him as a weakling and coward. Who is standing, now?

Mareq looks into the room, seeing Olga throttling the hound. He raises his hands and points at the hound.

"التزم الصمت" commands Mareq.

Daze Monster DC15

huh? Did you forget about the rallying cry?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
With Ajah restoring sanity to each of the adventurers, the hound tries to bite Olga in the shoulder, but a dazing spell hits the creature before its teeth sink in.

The Rallying Cry occurs after Husarq's turn. So... he stops being panicked after Ajah went.

Husarq returns to where he dropped his sword, intending to pick it up.

Olga tries to pin the hound, increasing the strength of her chokehold with a face reddened from the effort.

"Hmpffff"

Grapple to pin: 1d20 + 7 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 5 = 20

Kelsier returns to the room. Assuming my last move was all my actions, reversing it is probably also all my actions

Husarq and Kelsier move back into the room, the forgone, while Olga pins down the hound.

Kraang! reduces to his size, the 5' step to the east. He then quickly enlarges again to flank with the grappling Olga. Kraang! winds up for a fatal swing to put Sparky down for good.

Enlarged, Power Attack vs Pinned Hound: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 - 1 = 171d8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

With a swift stroke, Kraang! end the life of the howling creature.

Combat over!

A quick search of the room only reveals miscellaneous supplies, and little of value.

One more door left!

Kraang! casts Bull's Strength on himself then opens the final door.

Olga follows, breathing heavily from the whole exercise.

"I'm sorry.. mister... mister Kraang!? Are you in a hurry?"

Kelsier retrieves his weapon. He keeps his eyes on the ground. His shoulders are slumped as he moves to follow Kraang through the door.

What happened to me?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Fronar makes his way back and retrieves his weapons, dropped on the ground after failing his frightened save

"No time wasted, eh Kraang? You are quite the dynamo."

The last rooms leads to the familiar Blakros pissoirs. Several stalls stand against the east wall of this dank, stone room. A large grate in the floor collects a steady stream of water coming from one of the stalls. The rattle of chains echoes through the chamber and the stench of frightened, unwashed bodies fills the air.

Spread between the four stalls on the eastern wall are five slaves. All are chained to the wall with manacles, and two of them display a rune similar to that of the vivisected man the party rescued.

Kelsier growls and walks up to the leftmost slave. He grabs the chains and tries to rip them from the wall.

Strength: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Kraang! begins to cast create water over the unwashed masses. The sudden shock of the water falling with force over the slaves produces a slight chuckle from the cloaked druid.

"Blessed by Baalzebul."

Kelsier yanks at the chains, but it takes more strength than that to remove them The slaves do react to his gesture. Wha... what is this? one moans, Who are you?

A splash of water washes away some of the stench, but sends the slaves shivering and quivering.

Kelsier looks the slave in the eye. "I'm a Pathfinder and I'm getting you out of here."

If anyone offers to help, Kelsier will take 20 with their aid to try to break the chains. Otherwise he'll pull out weaponry and start trying to break the chains apart that way.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Husarq steps up snd attempts to break the chains, as well.

Take 20=24

Olga aids the others.

Take 20 for 23

Ajah steps up and starts using Prestidigitation to dry and warm the prisoners.

Under the concerted efforts of the pathfinders, the chains eventually snap, freeing the slaves. After escorting them out of the museum, the only task remaining is saving the Blakros twins. Still entranced in the northern room, the Wightir device still holds sway over the two debutantes. The end of the nightmare is only a single gemstone away...

After freeing the slaves, Kelsier returns to the main room. "Come on Fronar, do your stuff."

-Posted with Wayfinder

Mareq beckons Husarq to follow as he returns to the main room where the Blakros twins are still entranced.

The ifrit looks over at Kelsier and turns to watch Fronar approach.

"Shall we free them now?"

Fronar struts up to the alter as the rest of the party look to him. Filling himself with confidence... and inflating his ego a bit.

"Watch the master at work here people!"

Fronar manipulated the stones.

disable device: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

"Ah, I think that should do it!"

Fronar pries out the gemstone from the pyramidical device. Immediately, the shadowy overlay of the museum ceases. The body of the fetchling disappears, while the Blakros twins remain. They awake form their trance.

Who? What? Are we...? Eleanir asks. Michellia is the quicker to catch on You are not of their kind. Has mother sent you to rescue us?

Congratulations, you have rescued the Blakros twins from a terrible fate, and - in the process - you have earned the gratitude of the most influential family in Absalom. Who knows what this will bring for the society?

Kelsier nods.

Awesome! Thanks for running DM Kludde!

Great game!

Thanks for playing, everybody!

Thank you for running Kludde! And thank you to everybody else for putting up with Kraang!
