[PFS/DMK] 6-98 Serpents Rise - YSK Table (Inactive)

Game Master Kludde

Zurz looks pleased, hardly worked up a sweat.

He smooths down the Pathfinders robes, and looks over the rest of the room.

Shohiraj starts looking for the manuscript

perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

Marnarius looks for trouble at the display case: Traps?: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25, but even when it looks clean, he asks Rataji: "Could you check for magic preventing me to recover my blade?", he points at serrated longsword.

Rataji nods, then casts a quick cantrip to detect magical auras. He scans the area around the indicated blade.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27

The professional searches for the notes, but they are well hidden. She does not locate them in the first instance.

But you can always try again - it'll take time, though.

Rataji aids Marnarius with the showcase, and there seems to be no barrier to prevent Marnarius from taking his blade.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
"What are you searching for?" the elf asks the human rogue...

Shohiraj check the weapon case for traps for Marnarius as she answers the Elf's question, "Rataji said we needed to find additional notes on how to activate the Hao Jin Tapestry."

perception w/+trap detection looking for traps on weapon case: 1d20 + 14 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 3 = 22

perception looking for notes: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Aid to Perception 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

With the help of the ambitious, Shohiraj finally manages to spot the notes. In a long preface, Aram Zey introduces a ritual, lathered with warnings against performing it: completing the rite would tear a permanent rift into the Hao Jin Tapestry, allowing uninterrupted traffic between the planes—but always to the same site within the demiplane.

There is not a trap in sight on the display case - the sword is free to take.

If you want to move to the next location, I again need a disguise or stealth check

"Alright, if we have what we came for, let's get a move on before a patrol comes past," Joliryn suggests.

To the tapestry chamber?

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

"Thank you, my friends", said Marnarius taking another longsword. "Now I am ready to move forward"

Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Disguise 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Meh...

Leader, Pro and Experiment still to roll...

If the disguise self from earlier has worn off (70 minute duration), Rataji will use his pearl of power to get that spell back, then cast it again

Disguise (disguise self): 1d20 - 1 + 10 ⇒ (17) - 1 + 10 = 26

That previous one should still be active.

Stealth + shadows: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 4 = 32

Shohiraj uses stealth

stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24

With their silent, stealthy ways, the group again manages to avoid the patrols in Skyreach, stating in the shadow or posing as pathfinders. The leader even gets a 'Hi Cressyk' from his disguise.

Climbing to higher level, the agents ascends five sets of stairs and zigzag through numerous levels, until finally entering a secured area, that eventually leads to a door.

Perception 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

The Ambitious one stops his comrades and fills them in on what was heard.
See spoiler!

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
322 can't make out the words, but when the ambitious one tells her what was said, she knows who these two are, and what to do next! She creeps closer to the door, casts a spell and points at the female...

322 is casting murderous command at Loshari. DC15 Will negates. If the spell works, Loshari will attack Telandril and it will seem as if she had finally snapped under his verbal abuse. The next thing 322 will do is tap into the unthinkable void between the stars to cause Telandril to become confused for 7 rounds. (DC17 Will negates). Then the group can enter and finish them off quickly!

The door is closed, and there is no line of sight. Someone has to open the door, who will be seen. Opening the door and casting the spell would be an obvious offensive action - we'd go into initiative. Tell me what you want to do. (Tip: Zurnzal is disguised as a well known pathfinder)

"Why do this the hard way?"

Zurz simply presumes his way into the room, coughing as though caught with a dry throat, he gestures back to the door "I'll watch, don't miss the spectacle" he gestures at them to clear off and have some fun.

[ooc]Is that a Bluff? Still disguise?"[/b]

Shohiraj goes into hiding and draws her Sap just in case the two need to be dealt with.

stealth hide: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

Bluff

Oh, hi Arminaldus. Uhm.. no, we have to stay here, Aram's orders. teh self-righteous voice says, belonging to a young human male. Yes, he's been bossing around all day. Off now, though. the fiery voice, a half-orc woman, says. Can't allow you in here, I'm afraid, guard duty and all.

There's a third person in the room, quietly observing, with a musket hanging from her side.

Upon realising that Zurz designer gave him a bunch of Intimidate and such, but no Bluff, Zurz doesn't press his case

He finishes clearing his throat loudly as he slowly turns to leave...

Hopefully creating enough distraction for people to use thise spells above...?

Can 322 cast her spell now? =) Hiding outside the room but through the open door.

That would be epic :)

Yes she can.

From the cover of shadow, the experiment voices her incantation, which reaches a crescendo as she commands Loshari to kill the paladin. Without hesiation, she complies.

Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

The sorceress immediately draws forth a ball of fire, which explodes right in the Paladin's face

Fireball: 7d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3) = 24
RFX: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Stand down, Loshari, the paladin shouts in alarm, as the sorceress prepares for another blast, filling the room with another blast of fire.

Fireball: 7d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 6, 1, 2, 2, 4) = 22
RFX: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

It's a trick Ralirio finally shouts. There, in the shadows, this woman hexed you. Get her!

Zurz shifts in as though moving away from an attacker!

He then snatches for the hanging musket.

Disarm 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27 vs CMD
Improved Disarm
If successful, automatically picks up the weapon

The ambitious 'flees' towards Ralirio, snatches the firearm and watches as surprise comes over the gunslinger. What? You!

"Nice gun" - The assassin seems dead pleased with himself.

Shohiraj uses her stealth to move into the room taking up a position of hiding behind a pillar.

stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Rataji casts a spell amidst the confusion, then steps into the room and yells at Telandril, "Loshari's gone mad! She must be stopped!"

Standard action: Cast charm person at Telandril (DC 17)
Move action: Enter room
Free action: Influence Telandril
Bluff: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Shohiraj sneaks into the room, while Telandril shouts Intruders! Betrayal!

Rataji tries to charm the warrior, but he doesn't fall for his ploy, Don't listen to them! Stop them, guard the tapestry!

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Ralirio take his sap, and strikes out at Zurnzal
Sap: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Sap: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Marnarius used an opportunity to sneak inside the room and made an unexpected shot into Telandril.

Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Atk Telandril (human): 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 2 = 22
DMG (human): 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10 if sneak atk than extra +2 + 2d6 ⇒ 2 + (6, 4) = 12

Marnarius emerges from the shadow, and cherishes the horror on the paladin's face as he sees an arrow pointing out of his chest. The warrior faints from blood loss not much later.

322 stays in the shadows outside the room, muttering an arcane phrase and pointing at Loshari.
Casting hold person at Loshari. DC16 Will negates or be paralyzed for seven rounds. (Target may make a saving throw each round)

Joliryn moves into the room, takes in the scene, and sends a pair of fiery beams at the two pathfinders.

Move action: per map
Swift action: Arcane accuracy
Standard action: Scorching Ray (ranged touch):
Scorching Ray, Ralirio: 1d20 + 9 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 4 - 4 = 11 for: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 4) = 10
Scorching Ray, Loshari: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 4 = 27 for: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 5, 6) = 15

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

The experiment stops Loshari in her tracks, while Joliryn hits her with a scorching ray of fire.

[ooc]I've re-arranged init a bit to make the flow more convenient. It'll likely be a while before Loshari moves again.

Shohiraj moves up tumbling past Ralirio to get flank.

acrobat: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17 (probably takes an AoO.)

Once in position Shohiraj attacks Ralirio with flank and sneak attack.

sap w/flank&sneak att: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 11 + 2 = 29
Nonleathal damage: 1d6 + 6 + 4d6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + (6, 6, 2, 3) = 25
Plus Debilitating Injury: Hampered: All of the target’s speeds are reduced by half (minimum 5 feet), and the target cannot take a 5-foot step.

She'd get better options to attack you if Zurz wasn't holding the poor womans weapon of choice in his hot little hands

Zurz punches at the woman.

Flank+SA
Attack 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 13 + 2 = 32
Damage 1d8 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 6 + (2) = 15

Attack 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 2 = 12
Damage 1d8 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + (3) = 11

Rataji walks over to Loshari and casts a quick spell, touching her.

Move action: As indicated on map
Standard action: Cast touch of idiocy (touch attack is automatically successful against her, I assume?)
Int/Wis/Cha reduced by: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Shohiraj and Ralirio look like initiates of the Chelaxian navy, trying to knock eachother out with saps, though here the stakes are much higher. Shohiraj seems to be the greater expert, though, ringing the head of Ralirio and causing a bloodied nose.

Sap: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 111d6 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

The ambitious follows the example of the professional, and lands a punch on the kidneys of the gunslinger. Things are starting to look bleak for her. Arminaldus? Why?

Rataji start to slowly take apart Loshari, mental faculties first.

The gunslinger hangs on for her dear life, stepping away and tryig to knock out the pro

Sap: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 241d6 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4
Sap: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Loshari doesn't get a save yet, because of the re-ordering of the init

Seeking a height advantage, the halfling magus first hops onto the table and leaps at Ralirio with blade flashing.

Kukri: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16 for: 1d3 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 5 + (1) = 9

The halfling tries to sink her blade into the musket master, but the gunslinger is nimble enough to see the stab coming.

The nameless one will stay in the hallway, watching their backs. It seems the two pathfinders were pretty much taken care of...

NL damage taken: 4

Shohiraj attacks again with the sap keeping Ralirio flanked.

sap w/flank&sneak att: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 2 = 22
Nonleathal damage: 1d6 + 6 + 4d6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + (6, 5, 1, 4) = 26
Plus Debilitating Injury: Hampered: All of the target’s speeds are reduced by half (minimum 5 feet), and the target cannot take a 5-foot step.

The experiment hangs back and sees Shohiraj knock Ralirio over the head once more. This time, the groggy gunslinger goes down.

Can I have an action for Marnarius? (Experiment already went)

I'll put him on delay

Loshari fights the magical bonds that constrain her, though she is not able to move.

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Ralirio raises her sap again, steps around Zurnzal and tries to hit him Die, you traitor she shouts.

Sap, Zurnzal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Sap, Zurnzal: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
