[PFS] DM PatheticWretch presents Emerald Spire (The Tower Ruins, Table 2) (Inactive)

Game Master PatheticWretch

Davorin joins the fun and utilizes the party's element of surprise.

Attack, partial charge vs yellow: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

The group easily cuts down the pair of goblins, one sleeping and one intent on finishing a masterpiece of food in the other's ear. Both are equipped with gear of minimal value, and the table contains the remains of dinner and a dice game.

There is a hallway to the west and a doorway to the south.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Luralee points to the others what she sees in the far wall...she then walks over to it and pokes at it with her sword...

Ilarien nods appreciatively at the party's skill at taking the goblins unaware, then follows Luralee and keeps her covered as she investigates the canvas.

Looking behind the sheet, Luralee sees a tunnel passing back toward the direction they had already explored. see map

Anya continues groping in the dark after the other party members.

"Door to the south, there? Open it, and step to the side to clear the lane." Ilarien kicks a goblin corpse aside and leans against the table, ready to shoot through the door.

Sara stays close to both Luralee and Davorin Hmm, brutish as she may be, this half orc is at least competent. And the dhampir is intriguing...

"Shall we go down this passage?" Sara indicates with her torch [/b]"Or just head further down?"[/b]

"We've got choices... south door sounds fine to me." Gneau shrugs and goes to the south door, does his best to figure out if it might be trapped, since goblins are tricksy beasts, and listens to see if he can hear noise beyond it... if both are negative, he opens the door, stepping to the side for Ilarien to take his shot if there's a target.

perception for traps: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
perception to listen at the door: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Gneau puts an ear to the door, and it is not difficult to hear two goblins arguing loudly in the next room.

anyone speak goblin?

Not I.

Anya does.

Anya moves to the door and listens for a moment. Two goblins appear to be arguing, quite loudly, about who will eat a haunch of meat.

Luralee motions to the others as if asking 'what do we do now...?'

"They're arguing about who will eat what. If you barge in, you'd probably solve their problem for them," the elf says quietly.

Sara nods, gives a grim smile and whispers "Then let's help them shall we"

Once everyone gives her the sign that they are ready Luralee will throw open the door and charge in to attack the first foe in the room...

Luralee throws the door open, catching the two arguing goblins by surprise as they scramble for weapons.

I'm going to allow a surprise round since...well, they are surprised. Everyone is up for a single action.

initiative sara: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
initiative baddies: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

"Clear the lane!" As soon as she can, Ilarien will struggle forward to where Luralee is now and shoot at a goblin. Her shot goes sailing off into the further reaches of the room, though, accompanied by cursing in Dwarven.

Bolt, incl. favored enemy and hatred: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 11

Davorin takes advantage of the surprise and moves past one of the goblins.

Luralee steps in and moves to her left to attack the foe in pink...

Scimitar: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20...DMG: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Sara steps into the room and while the goblin is still scrambling for his weapon, slashes at him with her dagger

attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 = 9
damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Delay.

Ilarien misses a shot as the goblins scramble for cover. Luralee moves toward one of the goblins and prepares to attack it. Sara also steps toward a goblin.Surprise round, remember only 1 action. You are welcome to save your roll. Davorin moves into a flanking position as the creatures scramble for weapons.

First round of combat. Sara, Ilarien, and Luralee are up.

Ilarien takes a short step forward, drawing her axe, and chops mightily at the goblin.

Axe to face, incl. favored enemy and hatred: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 23
Axe damage, incl. favored enemy: 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15

I'll go ahead and use Luralee's previous roll for this round. COMBAT OVER!

Ilarien and Luralee chop down the pair of goblins before they can even reach their weapons. The haunch of some kind of canine sits on the table.

Each of the goblins carried a dogslicer and wore mangy leather armor.

There is another door to the south.

Sara blinks as Ilarien and Luralee chop down the goblins before she can move in They are competent...even the half-orc

"Excellent work...both of you"

She moves quietly to the door to the south to see what lies further ahead...

"Seems this place is infested with goblins..." Luralee casually comments as the group continues their search and then moves to the southern door with Sara.

"Fewer now than before, though. A good thing." Ilarien cleans her axe blade on the goblin's rude clothing and stows it on her belt, then reloads her crossbow with the bolt she missed with before.

Bolt recoverable, 1-yes: 1d2 ⇒ 1

This curving room is a good-sized kitchen, 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.

"ሄይ እናንተ ወደዚህ አትገባም! ብቻ እዚህ ይመጣሉ! ሄይ, እናንተ ከአስፈሪ አይደለም!" a voice calls out in goblin from behind a strange emerald-colored construct.

Realizing the Pathfinders are not supposed to be here, a bespectacled goblin raises a falchion, points it at the group, and says "ርዕሶች: ጥቃት!"

Ilarien is up!

Ilarien grins as she raises her crossbow and fires at the goblin before reloading. "Hi, there. Bye, there."

Crossbow to goblin, incl. favored enemy and hatred: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 25
Bolt damage, incl. favored enemy: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Gneau speaks goblin and hates them. He awaits his chance to act even while he salutes Ilarien's skill with his crossbow. "You're very skilled with that crossbow... have you considered becoming a master of its use? I've heard of something called a 'bolt ace' and a friend of mine once saw one in action. He said the fellow was quite formidable. By the way, the goblin called for something called 'Clanky' to attack us... he may have some kind of companion."

Ilarien presents the goblin not only with her quip, but with a crossbow bolt to the shoulder.

The wounded goblin casts a spell while its automaton advances toward the door.

The mindless creature swings a powerful arm-like limb at Ilarien, but only ends up hitting the door frame.

Everyone is up!

slam: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 = 101d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

"Some sort of shaman or cleric?" Anya wonders aloud. Since she can't see what it is, she moves to get a little closer, but still can't see.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Sara squeezes past Ilarien and slides in between the automaton's legs to position herself between the automaton and the goblin. Her hand a blur, Sara lashes out with her dagger quickly at both of them.

Using cleave as a std action. Sara's AC is -2 until my next turn

attack vs automaton w power attack: 1d20 + 4 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 - 1 + 2 = 9
dagger: 1d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9

attack vs goblin w power attack: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 1 = 18
dagger: 1d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

Davorin makes room for Luralee at the door and bolsters the part with a haunting melody.

Controlled Inspired Rage, +2 Str.

"If you could move back some dwarf I would take your place at the breech!" Luralee calls out delay until Ilarien moves back to take her spot

Anya moves into a better position while Sara takes things into her own hands, tumbling right through the construct's legs with a perfectly-timed maneuver. Lashing out at both enemies with her daggers, she misses the automaton but stabs the wounded goblin again, dropping it before it has a chance to engage.

The construct turns toward Sara to protect its master, but despite the goblin falling, it continues to fight. Its powerful blow just glances off Sara's sword arm.

Davorin begins inspiring his allies with a haunting melody.

Everyone is up!

slam: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 161d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Gneau goes up to Clanky and tries to hit it with his flail.

to hit: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
dmg if hits: 1d6 ⇒ 5

probably misses for attacking around a hard corner.. but not sure what the adjustment is.. -2? -4? anyway, either way, I'm sure it still misses

Having gotten the automaton's attention, Sara takes a step back, trying to lure the automaton further into the room to allow her companions room to enter the fray as well.

5 foot step, ready action to stab the automaton should it approach Sara

Ilarien grunts an affirmation to the half-orc, retreating from the construct. Withdraw action. I can't access the map atm.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Davorin sheathes his sword and draws a wand.

Luralee moves and strikes at the strange creature...

Scimitar: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13...DMG: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

As an experiment, Anya retrieves a sunrod from her pouch. Bending it to activate it, she tosses it through the open doorway to land inside the room beyond.

Since I'm restricted to seeing five feet ahead of me even with a light source, am I able to see a light source that's more than five feet away from me?

Gneau attempts to hit the construct around the corner, but just misses with the door frame in the way.

Sara backs away, but the creature's instructions apparently keep it attacking the closest target, and it does not follow her away from the door.

Ilarien makes way for other melee-focused combatants while Devorin prepares to activate a wand.

Luralee stabs the enemy and hits it...just barely...but her attack does not penetrate as she thinks it should.

Anya throws a sunrod into the room and can see a little better.

Anya, yes, you can see all around the sunrod. Also, since you have low-light, you can see 10' around the sunrod. I think anything else would make this level ridiculous.

The construct lowers a mechanical arm on the top of Luralee's head. While it sends her reeling, she thinks it could have been much worse.

target 1 Sara, 2 Luralee: 1d2 ⇒ 2

slam: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 251d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Davorin waves his wand at the clanking automaton and the floor beneath it turns slick with grease. Reflex DC 11

He then drops the wand and draws another.

Ilarien stows her crossbow and draws her axe, preparing to move in when she has the chance.

Gneau will strike at it again, after he sees whether it falls or not.

to hit: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 less penalty for hard corner, +4 for prone if it falls, sadly, that's gonna miss even if prone, sigh
dmg if hits: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Again his attack goes awry, this time by a wide miss and his weapon clangs off the door frame.

Davorin coats the ground under the construct with a oily layer of grease, but the enemy seems fairly resilient and does not go down. Ilarien draws her axe and looks for an opportunity to strike but none comes in the near term.

Gneau again misses his attack, this time badly.
