• Declan -
  
• Theophilus -
  
• Vargrim -
  
• Baphos - 5 damage, 6 nonlethal
  
• Slamu -

As soon as Declan steps into the room, the ice shatters and the temperature instantly drops to a painful level. The stench of decay assaults your senses a moment before the dwarf's claws.

Declan and Theophilus are up.

Ugh. Freeze-Dried Dwarf? That literally stinks on ice.

Theophilus backs away from the painfully cold room and terrible smells, hurling a dagger into the corpse as he withdraws.

Telekinetic Blast (includes Cover, PBS, PS): 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

So did the frost dwarf thing already act?
*If it did not, Declan scurries further into the room before casting Disrupt Undead.
*If it did act already, Declan tries to flip over the undead ice dwarf to get further into the room then casts Disrupt Undead.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Disrupt Undead
To Hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 To Hurt: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Round 1-2
Effects none

• Vargrim - 10 damage
  
• Baphos - 5 damage, 6 nonlethal
  
• Slamu - 9 damage, diseased? paralyzed?
  
• ---Round 2---
  
• Declan -
  
• Theophilus -

Declan rushes all the way into the room before the dwarf can react, but in rushes his aim and hits the table instead. Theophilus hits the mark though, propelling a small blade straight into the creature's chest.

The responds by stepping into the doorway and biting Slamu.

Everybody is up.

@Slamu: Two Fort saves, plus one more if you finish your turn within 10 ft. of Vargrim.

Disease?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Paralyzed?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Eh, I don't like that number.

Reroll!: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 4 = 23

Hey Princess Guide, you planning on pitching in any? You know anything about fighting dwarfsicles at least?

Theophilus shoots off more than just his mouth as he continues to barrage the dwarfsicle.

Telekinetic Blast (includes PBS, PS and cover): 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 8
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

Declan sees his opening and leaps at it. Literally. He jumps over the table and plunges his rapier into the dwarf.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Shortsword: flank, sneak attack
To Hit: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 2 = 10 To Hurt: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 2

@Slamu: You made both saves, melt this icicle!

Okay!

Angered by the dwarfsicle's hostility, Big Slamu rears back with his ham-sized fists for a beat down.

Punch (flank): 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 2 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Punch (flank): 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Fort Save for ending turn within 10': 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

"This creature is interesting. Anyway, it seems you have control over this encounter, so..."

Baphos stops to talk and cures himself.

Cure light wounds: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

"Now, I am ready for the next fight."

Slamu's first punch cracks the frozen creature like a nut, instantly warming the air back to a slow freeze.

Your victorious search finds a personal diary in the dwarf's pack, but nothing else interesting turns up in the rest of the complex.

See the map link for the last entry of the diary, then place yourselves back at the entrance where you fought the winter wolf.

Well, that's not good news for a sky key, but if this Hao Gin fella's still around we've got our next lead at least.

"It can never be easy, can it?"

Baphos follows the group in silence.

Can Slamu get a couple more charges off that wand?

Yeah, yeah, what's mine is yours, Gills, you just keep standing at the front!
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Waiting at the mouth of the cavern, you find a jadwiga accompanied by one guard, an ice elemental and a white bear. She speaks to noone in particular, ”Identify yourselves! Who are you and why are you really here?”

There's no ice elemental, that's the 4-player adjustment.

Round 1
Effects none

• Theophilus -
  
• Declan -
  
• Slamu - 1 damage
  
• Baphos - 6 nonlethal
  
• Red -
  
• Orange -
  
• Green -

Baphos moves forward and casts Guidances on himself. I am ready.

"We are members of the Pathfinder Society and we seek historical knowledge. But I suspect you already knew that."

Theophilus turns to Haltani with an exasperated look, Honestly Princess Guide, how is it you people bring bears and trolls around with you and yet still send patrols after a few honest grave robbers?

Loosened Strand Telekinetic Blast: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 18 vs. Touch, includes cover
Fire Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Theophilus whips his last flask of Alchemist's fire at the jadwiga with a rude gesture then ducks behind the guide.

Big Slamu puts his fists up and shifts slightly into a defensive stance. "It looks like it's a fight. Jawesome!"

Move action to grab shield focus. Standard to ready an attack fighting defensively.

Readied Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 4 = 3
Nonlethal Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

@Theophilus: Please only apply attack modifiers to your attack roll, and I will handle AC modifiers on my end.

Round 2
Effects none

• Theophilus -
  
• Declan -
  
• Baphos - 6 nonlethal
  
• Slamu - 6 damage, -2 penalty to attack (1/?)
  
• Red -
  
• Orange -
  
• Green - 6 damage, on fire

Theophilus's flask hits the jadwiga right in the forehead, covering her long, luscious locks in beautiful napalm. Baphos moves forward, saying a quick prayer, while Slamu tries to keep his weapon between himself and the bear's jaws--all to no avail. He fares better against the guard though, dodging a clumsy, hasty bolt. Adding insult to injury, the jadwiga locks gazes with Slamu and somehow invades his mind with her iron will.

Everybody is up.

@Slamu: Will save vs. evil eye.

Theophilus whisks a dagger past the bear from safely in the back. See what I mean? Who brings bears places?!

Telekinetic Blast (PBS, PS): 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8

"Frak! Why did you do that? We could have talked our way out of this." Declan casts Vanish before moving closer to the jadwiga.

People don't bring bears to talk!

"Of course not. Bears don't talk. Bears dance. Bears are meant for dancing."

Big Slamu should be at 5 damage. He had 1 and took 4 more.

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Big Slamu finds himself distracted by the witch's witchy gaze. Despite the impediment, he rears back to slam his fists into the attacking ursine.

Punch (evil eye): 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 - 2 = 14
Nonlethal Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Punch (evil eye): 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 3 - 2 = 20
Nonlethal Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

It's ok for me to do what Slamu said.

Round 3
Effects none

• Theophilus -
  
• Declan - invisible 1/2
  
• Baphos - 6 nonlethal, guidance
  
• Slamu - 10 damage, -2 attack (2/7), -2 AC (1/?)
  
• Red - 9 nonlethal
  
• Orange - casting
  
• Green - 6 damage

Theophilus sends an errant dagger vaguely in the bear's direction, then Declan disappears and Baphos confounds the guard for a few seconds.

Slamu trades blows with the bear, and the guard begins a spell. The jadwiga launches another mental attack at Slamu.

Everybody is up.

@Slamu: Will save vs. evil eye.

With that hit Slamu should be at 10 damage.

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Finding the bear a worthy opponent, Big Slamu retrieves a syringe labeled *GENE SLAMMER* and jabs it into his arm. Immediately the already brawny sharkman hulks with additional layers of muscle and his pupils dilate slightly.

Using mutagen for +2 strength, +2 natural armor, and -2 intelligence. His AC is 19 now (17 while the evil eye is in effect).

Complex maths corrected. AC penalty will only be for 1 round. And what actions were involved in the mutagen, i.e. did you retrieve a stored item?

I was never clear on that. It might. If it's going to provoke Big Slamu will 5-foot step back.

There is no spell he could be casting that I want him to finish!
Theophilus darts forward and flings his dagger clean past his chanting foe.
Uh.. help?

Telekinetic Blast: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

Declan invisibly moves next to green (the jadigwa?) and tries to impale her(?).

Shortsword:
To Hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 To Hurt: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Baphos comes behind to Slamu and touching his shoulder casts Guidance on Slamu. Big fellow, it is not too much, but this could help you.

I think you get an extra +2 to hit for being invisible for that swing Declan

Round 4
Effects none

• Theophilus -
  
• Declan -
  
• Baphos - 6 nonlethal, guidance
  
• Slamu - 17 damage, -2 attack (3/7), guidance, mutagen
  
• Red - 9 nonlethal
  
• Orange -
  
• Purple - 1/?
  
• Green - 3 damage, prone

Theophilus tries to distract the guard's spell, and Declan suddenly appears again--with his short sword sticking out of the jadwiga's breast. It seems to be the only thing keeping her standing, because she crumples to the ground when he pulls the blade back out. Baphos quickly prays for Slamu's success, while the big fighter backs up and drinks an alchemical potion.

The bear stays right on top of Slamu, ripping into his intestines with both claws. As the guard finishes casting, an eagle appears out of thin air, viciously attacking the brawler. The guard then steps closer to the jadwiga and closes up most of her wounds with a short spell. He also retrieves a small bottle and holds it out to her. She instantly grabs the bottle and drinks from it.

Everybody is up.

@Declan: You get an AoO when green drinks the potion.

Edit: Forgot about Slamu's mutagen, two more attacks actually missed.

I'm confused. It looks like only two of those attacks hit dealing 7 damage (bear claw 2 and eagle talon 2). That would put Slamu's damage taken at 17 total.

Juiced and bloodied, Big Slamu turns his big fists on his avian and ursine opponents.

Punch (evil eye, mutagen): 1d20 + 3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 3 - 2 + 2 = 15
Nonlethal Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10

Punch (evil eye, mutagen): 1d20 + 3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 - 2 + 2 = 23
Nonlethal Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10
Confirming: 1d20 + 3 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 - 2 + 2 = 13
Extra Nonlethal Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 = 13

Starting with the bird. If the first attack drops the bird the second will be on the bear.

You're correct, I just ninja'd you.

Acrobatics vs. the Eagle's CMD: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Telekinetic Blast @ Bear: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

Lady Luck keep me safe!

Theophilus flings himself into a long dive away from the suddenly appearing eagle and its talons, flinging a rock behind him at the Jadwiga's furry diplomacy aid as he goes.

If Slamu slammed the bear, then I'll forgo the acrobatics check and rush up next to the crossbowman and shoot him from there instead

Theo I don't get a +2. Instead I attack against green's Flat Footed AC. Now she should be at -4 AC due to being prone.

"Unbelievable." Declan takes a swipe at green as she drinks a potion.
Shortsword:
To Hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 To Hurt: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

His incredulity is compounded by failing to finish off his foe. Declan takes another stab at it. (See what I did there?)

Shortsword:
To Hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 To Hurt: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"Big Fellow, it is not your time yet. You are not going down. Does anyone have a cure wand? I will need it after this."

Baphos pronounces some words "Curar heridas menores" and casts Cure light wounds on Slamu.

Cure Light wounds: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Theophilus launches a rock right into the bear's nose, then Declan drives his shortsword completely through the witch's shin and into the snow.

Baphos touches Slamu with curative magic, then the skinwalker takes out both animals.

The witch shouts some strange words at the guard, who moves past Declan and keeps going, momentarily dropping his guard. The jadwiga then stands up and follows him. Moments later, Uliyara follows them in disgust, "In the end, you were no better than the barbaric Ulfen!"

@Declan: You might be able to take out the guard on a crit.

Rolling a crit would require the dice roller be kind to me. That is not going to happen, but here goes.

Shortsword:
To Hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 To Hurt: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
