[PFS/DMK/YSK/GD3] 6-08 The Segang Expedition (Inactive)

Game Master Kludde

I'll need a handle animal, wild empathy or charisma check to drive out the monkeys. Nominate one adventurer to make the roll, and others can aid as they like. The efforts of Marra and Rasamoro will provide a good bonus as well.

Rasamoro manages to catch several monkeys in his glamouring gaze. Together with the bag of tricks that Marra pulls open, a few of the monkey already leave on their own accord. The rest of the troop needs further encouragement, and the intimidation that Rasamoro offers only seems to anger the simians.

Assist CHA 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Jhalan observes the scene, slightly amused by the expedition's antics.

(Animal magnetism isn't this group's strong spot.)

CHA aid: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Marra continues to use her tricks to shoo the monkeys, as she tries to think of what else might drive them off.

kn nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 what would cause the monkeys to leave without harming them

Rasamoro has a highest CHA from those who left, so he will be making a roll

CHA: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

"Go away! Kitsh! Booo!" Nagaji was trying to use anything he could to drive them away. "Does someone have thunderstones? They don't like loud noises, as I see. Even if they make to much of noise by themselves."

svetlana secures her pouches and buckles as she readies an Alchemist fire in case things get out of hand.

Rasamoro tries to shoo off the monkeys, but there is no movement in the animals. They keep frolicking around, until the baron has had enough, and moves to chase off the animals himself, with disastrous effect! The monkey start swarming in on the camp, forming two groups, screeching and scratching.

The swarms are made up of tiny creatures, so half damage from slashing and piercing

"See what you have done? The monkeys are the forest spirit...now you have provoked them..." She kicks and punches them, though to hurt but not kill.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
NL damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Adrianna tries to kick and punch individual monkey, but there's just too many of them, and they're too fast. She can't seem to focus on a single target.

It is possible, though, she just missed.

Castien sighs at the baron's actions, then, seeing the danger he has put the group in, pulls out blunted arrows and fires at one of the swarms.

Full-round action: Attack southeastern swarm (rapid shot)
Attack (Composite Longbow (+2 Str), Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot): 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 1 - 2 = 24
Damage (Composite Longbow (+2 Str), Point Blank Shot): 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8

Attack (Composite Longbow (+2 Str), Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot): 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 - 2 = 12
Damage (Composite Longbow (+2 Str), Point Blank Shot): 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6

"Ok, you got my nerve", said Rasamoro, as wand sprung out of his wrist sheath. He waited a moment, waiting for swarm to move closer.

Ready until swarm approach, cast burning hands via wand then. 1d4 ⇒ 1 dmg

Castien shows true marksmanship with his first shot, hitting a monkey on the temple. His second shot - not so much. The frolicking creatures evade the arrow with ease.

Rasamoro braces for the swarm approach, and unleashes his burning hands as the angry monkeys approach.

The hordes of monkeys are undaunted by the fire and arrows. Rasamoro is covered by clawing, screeching creatures, as are Castien and Hellion.

Svetlana gets an AoO

Damage, Rasamoro: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2
Damage, Castien: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5
Damage, Svetlana: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10

Svetlana swings as they come in...

Attack 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Damage 1d10 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

Then gets wrapped in a blanket of monkeys!

Fort 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Magic energy crackles on her weapon as she calls on arcane powers....
PA/Arcane Strike/OHC
Attack 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Damage 1d10 + 15 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 15 + 2 + 1 = 24

But doesn't have a great result.

Svetta isn't one to let a horde of monkeys scare her. She cleaves at the simian as they get close, and hacks again as the are all over her. Unfortunately, having the monkeys this close makes hitting them much harder, so the second swing doesn't have the effectiveness of the first one.

Adrianna flows into one of her katas, almost dancing in the midst of the monkeys and striking out at the animals. (full round flurry of blows)
Attack 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
NL damage 1: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Attack 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
NL damage 2: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Castien pulls out two more blunted arrows, steps away from the swarms and fires again.

Full-round action: Attack southeastern swarm (rapid shot)
Attack (Composite Longbow (+2 Str), Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot): 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 1 - 2 = 16
Damage (Composite Longbow (+2 Str), Point Blank Shot): 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Attack (Composite Longbow (+2 Str), Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot): 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 - 2 = 13
Damage (Composite Longbow (+2 Str), Point Blank Shot): 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

I'm not seeing that Castien is in a spot occupied by the swarm. Since swarms only deal damage to creatures in their squares at the end of their turn, doesn't that mean Castien is safe? Still, just in case...

Fort Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Drawing her her scimitar, Marra shifts 5ft and charges it with arcane energy as she swings at the pile of monkeys.

scimitar: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
damage if hits: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

to confirm crit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
plus crit damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 +2 fire from trait flame of the dawnflower

I think I switched Adrianna and Castien in my head. It should have been Adrianna taking the damage and making the fort save. If Adrianna wants to change her action because of this, just post an alternative one. Sorry about the hick-up.

Fort for Adrianna: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Adrianna keeps calm amidst the mass of monkeys, and uses her martial training kick several monkeys in the neck. Castien keeps firing rapidly into the other mass of monkey, and a particularly well-aimed arrow causes some panic in the troop.

Marra then adds her own two cents. The little dervish charge in, and buzzing with arcane energy she strikes, causing some creatures in the troop to flee. The swarm looks close to breaking up.

No sure where Jhalan is on the map. I've copied his token once again next to it, feel free to place him wherever he is.

Jhalan swings at one of the swarms of monkey with his fauchard. I have reach, so I'd like to strike whichever swarm is the thinnest (hurt the most).
Silversheen Fauchard: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 171d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Put you on the map

Jhalani strikes and swoop with his impressive fuchard skills, and manages to combine accuracy with intimidation, that the swarm disperses.

The last remaining swarm keeps clawing at Adrianna

Svetlana maintains the assault, magic energy continuing to crackle on her bardiche as she calls on arcane powers....

PA/Arcane Strike/OHC
Attack 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Damage 1d10 + 15 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 2 + 1 = 26

Marra maintaining her arcane weapon charge begins a deadly blade dance as she swipes at the monkeys.

scimitar w/+2 battle dance: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 2 = 20
damage: 1d4 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 = 9

Jhalan continues trying to disperse the swarm, stabbing and jabbing at the monkey. Svetlana adds her own strikes, swooping down much harder. With their combined onslaught, they cause a panic among the monkeys, and also the second swarm disperse.

Combat over

The baron looks flustered, and with a humble bow he says Thank you, it was foolish to mess with those demons. I have brought unneeded danger upon ourselves. Here he says as he takes two potion from his personal effects take these curative brews, to aid those who got hurt.

Two potions of cure moderate

Adrianna is out cold and bleeding

Marra takes the potions and feed them to Adrianna using her healer's training.

potion CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 1) + 3 = 92d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2) + 3 = 9

Svetlana hands Castien a wand with a smile - "If you'd be so kind" she looks around "We might get some use out of it this trip"

Wand of Infernal Heal - 1 charge

Finally its getting some use!

Svetlana then shows the party where her range of potions and tools are kept, and their properties. in case of emergency. All of them bear labels in common citing their name and use.

"Who knows, ut could be me unconscious and I'd like to think someone would be kind enough to give me a curative and not the ability to climb a wal" she jests with a sort of gallows humour as she watches Adrianna come back to health.

"Don't concern yourself overly Baron, these jungles are strange and the rules are all unclear, but perhaps just enjoy the views rather than become part of the scenery eh?"

Castien nods, tapping Hellion with the wand. He hands it back as her wounds slowly knit.

He then looks to the Baron. "Y-you w-were ignorant of th-their w-ways. Th-there is n-no c-c-crime in th-that." He looks briefly to the count, and back. "W-we all st-st-started off th-that w-way."

Adrianna comes to slowly, counting her blessings, again, for magical healing and partners who look out for her.

The safari moves onward for another round of hunting (IF you want to participate, make an attack roll with a ranged weapon, and we'll check the score), then continues on the main trail.

Suddenly, something seems to have startled the big elephant, which begins to stamp about wildly, threatening to shake the howdah off its back.

Inspecting closely, it seems to be a nest of baby snakes that has startled the elephant. A large cobra - apparently the mother - hurries back to the nest.

The baron starts shouting orders Protect the porters from that large snake! Don't let it get close!. The count, on the other hand, shouts conflicting, slightly panicked, orders Calm this elephant! We'll get thrown off, calm it down!

Handle animal checks to calm the elephant. Chase away baby snakes to make the check easier, or calm the elephant using spells.

Adrianna has no particular skills at animal handling, so she uses her nunchaku to fend away the large cobra. (How large are we talking? Can Adrianna grapple it and carry it away from the party?)

Hunting.
Longbow 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

In due course...
Handle elephant untrained 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

"I'm no good at calming down elephants, I'll take care of the snakes!"

Jhalan moves and strikes the first smaller snake threatening the elephant.
Silversheen Fauchard: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 201d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

"Me, here, me, here", Rasamoro started waiving his hand to catch elephant gaze. "Hush, no issue, hush, just walk away, hush" He tried to pull his mental command again, trying to distract elephant from snakes around him.

Hypnotic gaze, Will DC10 (included -2 since he is in combat).
2d4 HD of creatures affected, but snakes affected first, so I just try to lure as many snakes as I can.
Handle Animal: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Jhalar kills one of the small viper, but the rest of them swarm on him

Attack, Jhalar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Attack, Jhalar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Attack, Jhalar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 231d2 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1 Plus a fort save

The elephant bolts, sending the mahout flying from his seat. Luckily he lands softly, and seeks cover in the jungle. The elephant, now driverless, looks ready to break.

The large cobra attacks the porters (Not on the map, but in front of the elephant) and kills one outright.

Rasamoro tries to hypnotize the animals around him, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Together with Svetlana, he tries to calm the elephant, but the pachyderm still trashes around wildly

Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

My character's name is Jhalan, not Jhalani or Jhalar.

"Leave me some room to withdraw, I'll need to step back".

Jhalan steps sideways for now, studies his quarry for a second, then strikes the furthest baby cobra in a defensive manner.
Silversheen Fauchard, Combat Expertise, study: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 1 = 151d10 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 = 15

In that case...
Adrianna engages the large cobra with her weapons, hoping to knock some sense in it!
Attack - Stunning Fist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Castien pulls out two arrows and fires at the baby cobras.

Full-round action: Attack nearest living baby cobra

Marra move in front of the other elephant towards the large snake drawing her scimitar as she moves, and then casting ear piercing scream at the mother snake.

sonic damage Fort save vs DC 12 to avoid daze and half dam.: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Jhalan strikes at one of the baby cobra's, but his defensive stance makes him too slow to hit the creature. Adrianna takes the attention away from the porters, even though she doesn't hit the mother cobra.

Castien shoots the baby nest, and takes out one of the smaller snakes.

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

The elephant keeps bolting and panicking, while the little snakes show their defensive instinct by biting at Jhalan
Bite, Jhalan: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Bite, Jhalan: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 191d2 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1 Another fort save

The big snake isn't too fond of being attacked by a monk, and decides to focus its attention on Adrianna

Bite, Adrianna: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 222d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 5) + 9 = 15 And a fort save, please

I think Adrianna is down again...

not that I will probably make a different , but you missed having the Mom snake making a save vs Marra's spell

-Posted with Wayfinder

Actually I didn't miss it, but for some reason I made a will save. It would have also made the fort save

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
-5 HP and falling =/

Adrianna finds the snake much faster than she had imagined something that large could be, and as she falls to the ground she thinks "Maybe it's time for a different career..."

Seeing such a large snake, Marra imbues her scimitar with arcane energy as she starts dancing around swing her blade in more deadly arcs as she shifts forward to attack.

scimitar w/+2 battle dance: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11
damage if hits: 1d4 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 = 9

unfortunately the snake knows that dance.

Svetlana frowns, seeing the melee not going well at the far side of the encounter, she stops what she is doing to move up.

Holding an attack if the snake closes

Jhalan, having only narrowly escaped a snake bite moments before, cuts up one of the baby snakes.

Marra starts drawing the attention the large snake away from the bleeding Monk. Adrianna looks particularly bad: not only has she been badly hurt, but the poison seems to drain was little life force she has left...

Rasamoro was trying to handle a big elephant alone. It seems, that big creature finally understood, that it needs to slow down.

if possible to push elephant to stomp a snake, would be nice. Otherwise, trying to keep it from stomping others

"Look after the fallen, Marra, keep the wench alive while I start smashing myself out a new pair of boots" Svetlana spits as she looks to the snake,

Castien fires an arrow at the single baby cobra left, and fires another at the mother, which strikes true.

Full-round action: Attack the remaining baby cobra with the first arrow, the mother with the second
Attack (Composite Longbow (+2 Str), Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot): 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 - 2 = 19

Rasamoro manages to calm the elephant, and it is no longer bolting, though it refuses to go near any of the snakes. Castien takes out the last baby cobra with a well-aimed shot, then aims for the furious mother, placing a solid hit.

The snake lunges out at Marra, almost piercing the heart of the halfling with its venomous fangs.

Bite, Marra: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 302d6 + 9 ⇒ (5, 5) + 9 = 19 And a fort save, please
