[PFS/DMK/EMS] The Emerald Spire Superdungeon

Game Master Kludde

So if I light a torch I will only be able to see whats right next to me (adjacent), is that correct DM Kludde?

Thistle sees the scurry of activity in front of him, but the squeals of the goblins are lost on his deaf ears. Reacting quickly, he takes a swing at the closest beast to him. Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 for damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

@Asuna: I'm actually going to leave control of the dino to you from here on out, as long as its actions are reasonable. I've got more than enough critters to move around :)
@M: That's right, your torch would only illuminate yourself and any adjacent squares

As Skaarr rises to superhuman size, Thistle takes a lone stand against the goblins, swinging in an attack, but missing.

The dinosaur moves up next to Thistle, and tries to bite the frontmost gobbo:

Bite, Cover: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 - 4 = 21d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Jalik takes a defensive stance, aiding Skaarr.

ok will do. Could someone move Asuna to the top right. She will do a double move that direction following the wall as she can't see a thing ;)

Bruce moves to the north end of the room and checks the door for any danger.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 +1 traps

Dropping his shield Amir draws and lights a torch while stepping forward.

The goblins curse at the deaf Nagaji, and try to cut him out of the way, to no avail.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 131d4 ⇒ 2
Attack: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 2 - 4 = 71d4 ⇒ 1

Bruce, meanwhile, finds no traps on the northern door.

Skaarr steps back into the corner of the room, gaining some more space for his huge frame. He crooks one finger at the goblin in the doorway and concentrates on it. Sleepy time little guy, he thinks inflicting an ancient curse on it. "If the goblin falls asleep, slit its throat properly. If you just injure it, it will wake back up!" he instructs the deaf oracle and unintelligent animal. Hope they are smarter than they look.

5' step back into the corner.
Slumber on marked goblin, will save DC 14.

Assuming the goblin falls asleep, Thistles action is as follows. If it makes the will save, see the spoiler below.

Seeing the goblin's eyes roll back in his head and fall limply to the ground, Thistle doesn't question his good luck. With practiced movement, he lines up the goblin's forehead and delivers a Coup de Grace

Coup de Grace, Auto Crit: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (7, 2) + 6 = 15

With the goblin's brains spattered on the door frame, he takes a step back to allow his comrades in on the fray.

Jalik still unable to see more than a few ft in the unnatural dark keeps his weapon prepared to strike at an instant should an enemy approach.

"I hear you beasts come closer and die before me."

Will: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 = 10

Seeing the goblin in front of him doze off, Thistle doesn't hesitate and guts the small creature.

Concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 94

damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

"There is still room in front of me if someone wants to push forward."

Through all the darkness, Bruce manages to sink an arrow into the goblin, a short shriek being the confirmation of a hit.

Move back and let them come to us.

Amir draws his blade and will attack the first enemy to come within range. Ready action
Attk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Dmg: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Could Asuna using cues from combat or her empathic link help aim a sleep spell inside hitting most of the goblins dc 18? If so she does and her companion will nibble a goblin. Otherwise she would stumble about and her companion steps in and full attacks goblins with power attack. Sorry she can't tell where they are cause she is effectively blinded and thus direct her dino

Sleep is just a 10ft radius burst, so you can just lob it inside and see what happens. These particular goblins aren't exactly quiet...

It is quite clear to the party by now that the

that the goblins keep screaming indicates the adventurers. Asuna casts a spell, and the sounds seem to reduce somewhat.

Will: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4
Will: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7

Purple and blue goblins are asleep

Kitsune steps in and rips the throat out of the blue goblin.

The dino immediately gets surrounded by the three remaining awake goblin. One of them decides to kick his sleeping companion

as the other two attack the cretaceous creature

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 211d4 ⇒ 4 3 damage

Kirito, now surrounded and attacked bites and claws at the goblins.

dmg: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
dmg: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Asuna now unable to see the ongoing fight cannot use her spells to aid her companion.
"Kill and attack, Kirito!
Guys if we can take one captured we can question him."

Thistle takes a deep breath to keep his focus in the wild melee crammed into the tiny entrance. Unable to hear the suggestion of the barbarian behind him, he repeats the command as he steps back in the hopes that the little critters will move forward into the pinch point created by the oddly shaped room.

In his odd sounding voice he so rarely uses, Thistle says, They are outmatched, when they realize it they will run. We must chase them and cut them down. He hears nothing as the words come awkwardly out of his mouth, and simply hopes his companions heard.

Hefting his morningstar, he waits for something to come close enough to hit.

Readied action, attack if a goblin gets within melee reach before my next turn. Rolls below in case that happens in order to keep things moving. If it doesn't happen, just ignore the rolls.

Attack (readied action, if necessary): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 for Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Trashing and clawing, the dinosaur snaps at the air, then finally manages to rip into a goblin, leaving nothing but a bloody pulp

Jalik moves along passing from one friend after another until he crosses through the doorway face to face with a goblin. He now swings his bardiche at the one in his face purple one .

bardiche attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
bardiche damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Jalik's bardic he encounters the goblin that is writhing on the floor, and ends its life in one swift stroke.

Holding his axe in a defensive position Skaar barrels his way into the chamber with the goblins, finding himself of no use in the corner.

Standard action; Fighting defensively. AC 18
Move action; Move on orange line.

"You want one alive? Does anyone here speak goblin?"

Bruce drops his bow and moves in after Skaarr, drawing his sap as he goes.
Once he is behind one of the goblins his tries to knock it unconscious with his sap.

Melee vs Orange: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11

damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

"I do," Skaarr replies. Though I could care less if you keep one alive. If there are more, we'll just kill them too.

Amir enters the room pass Skaarr and attacks one of the goblins.
Attk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Dmg: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

The sight of the enormous Skaarr has an obvious demoralising effect on the goblins, though they start to cheer again as both Bruce and Amir miss their attack.

The little fiends start hacking at Bruce, trying to get out, and their panic only causes their attacks to be rather off.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Jalik makes his way along the wall and then behind his friends to the first open spot to swing at the now surrounded goblin.

attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 = 15
damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Amir slashes at the goblin but again his attack misses.
Attk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Dmg: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Bruce will step over and try again to knock out a goblin.

Melee vs black: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11

non lethal damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Could someone move me up one square so I can flank with the dino.

Thistle moves quickly around his now oversized companion and quickly slides in front of the door to cut off any possible escape by the wormy little beasts. He brandishes his shield and morningstar with a hiss and a guttural growl at the remaining goblins.

Double move around the threatened area, through allies to get in front of the door.

Attack (EP, Flanking): 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

Skaarr swings at one of the goblins between him and his allies, but he bumps his head on the ceiling as he's winding up. When he swings he comes closer to hitting his own leg than the goblin. Nethys's nads! Sometimes these "enhancements" are more trouble than they're worth.

"Surrender and we will let you live, keep fighting and the dinosaur will eat you up!" bluff: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 really not interested in keeping them alive. Also think I got goblin Asuna yells in common and goblin.
In tien she commands her companion to menace. there was ond trick where you could have it attack when attacked, but not sure which. handle animal: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

-Posted with Wayfinder

The two remaining goblins seem to be in no mood to surrender, nor in any mood to get hit, for that matter. Jalik, Amir and Bruce all fail to hit the small creatures, and huge Skaarr doesn't fare any better.

The goblins, cornered, try to make their way out fighting

Attack, Bruce: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 221d4 ⇒ 3
Attack, Kirito: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Jalik takes a step forward and swings his bardiche yet again.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

The wild melee unfolds in front of the serpent oracle like a not-so-graceful dance. The reverberations of the floor as weapons connect with walls instead of targets punctuate the otherwise silent display.

Knowing they have the viscous little brutes surrounded, Thistle moves up to help clear out the now well overmatched remaining goblins of the group.

Attacking black goblin: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 for Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 for Additional Damage if confirm: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

He hisses in glee as his morningstar connects solidly.

Skaar swings again at the goblins, hoping to do a little better this time. Must not embarrass myself in front of my new crew... This time his enlarged long-axe cleaves a goblin right in twain. He grins, "That's more like it," he says in goblin.

Attack (flanking): 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 2 = 20
Damage: 3d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 6, 2) + 4 = 13

don't thinkwe we need more attacks, but if we do.

Jalik swiftly stab one of the remaining goblins, and a double deuce by Thistle and Skaarr ends the life of the other.

With the enemy defeated, it is possible to have a look around in the room. The room is full to bursting with a motley collection of cots and other furniture cobbled from scraps of wood and cloth. The stench of rotting food is overpowering. Doors lead to the west and the north (the direction the party came from).

A riot of broken bits of metal, glass, stone, and other things scavenged by the goblins from the ruins of the keep and the surrounding woods clutter the room. It seems goblins find value in almost anything, and this place looks as much like a trash heap as a it does like a living area.

Bits and pieces of food are scattered around the room as well, though carefully hidden. In one of the beds, beneath a blanket, is a particularly stinky piece of cheese.

Under one of the beds is a kind of metal arm, as if severed from a larger-than-life metal puppet. It has emerald-green plating, and all kinds of wired inside.

Bruce takes an interest in the metal arm. "I do not think I have seen something like this before. Maybe it belongs to something I may have read about."

Know Engineering: 1d20 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 7 + (1) = 10

Ahhh both dice failed me.

Thistle grabs his conversation board and quickly scribbles, Anything else in here?

If it appears the room is clear, he will move to the west end of the room and wait for a signal from his comrades before opening the door. His torch is held in the same hand as his weapon, ready to drop in case another threat appears.

I am assuming the strange, magical darkness is still in effect? Just curious if we should be doing more to look into that...

A quick look around to see if we missed anything then off with Thistle.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

"I'd prefer to press on while my magical enhancements are still running, we can come back here and search thoroughly on our way back out," Skaar says. He moves back into the chamber they entered in, and tries to open the set of double doors on the west wall. Wonder what else is infesting this ruin? Probably not anything too dangerous if there are goblins living here.

Bruce will stuff the arm in his back pack and follow Skaarr.

Bruce examines the arm, but remembers very little, as what he sees in the poor lighting does not trigger an memories.

Yes, the darkness is omnipresent throughout this level. Great way to start off a deaf oracle, huh?

Skaar moves back to the first room, and open the door on the west. Behind it, he finds a spiral staircase. Stairs wind upward to the right, circling around a glowing wall of semi-translucent green stone. It seems the Azlanti tower was built around a core of some other material—a spire within a spire. The steps spiral around the core several times, past destroyed, impassable levels, until they reach the top, ending in a sturdy wooden door with a shuttered arrow slit in the middle.

Skaarr doesn't go up the steps, but he does open the door to his north as well.

Skaarr opens the door, and with his dark vision, he can a good-sized kitchen inside a curving room, complete with decaying tables, cupboards, and bins. One newer table has what seems like a child’s laboratory set up, with broken cups standing in for beakers.

Inside the room is a metal man, build up out of plating that looks... oddly familiar. One of the arms of the construct is replaced with a bony human arms. At the back, a goblins screams as it sees the huge Half-Orc peek through the door, and screams

Ha! I was just thinking that actually... No worries, it just makes it more fun :)

Since I am able to check the thread often, I will wait for my post since I am near the end in initiative order anyways...

Bruce moves into the room drawing his long sword until he locates the source of the casting.

would have liked to charm the goblin, but alas I cant see him right? In Goblin Asuna calls out "Wait friend. We also follow the will of the great mother Lamashtu. She sent us here to aid you! Why else would a fierce monster like my dinosaur, the snake and that ugly orc work together with Longshanks. Why I myself am one changed by her powers, observe."
And Asuna changes form to show her foxen visage. bluff: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Metal golem maybe... Amir says doublefull looking at the strange arm and following the others.
Does anyone have a light spell that could be casted in my shield?
