"That silver bracer too. You will take nothing from this land. Then there will be no need for cuts and bruises." The leader knows what you found with eerie accuracy, they must have had scouts spying on you as you dug.

"One of our girls is being targeted by assassins, and we need to find gold to pay them off. Would you consider giving us something of value in exchange for all this? We don't care about any of this, and we apologize if these are your hunting grounds. But we do need to pay off those assassins. I'm not willing to offend your people to do that though, and I'd rather have you as a friend than have blood money in my hands that will end up in the hands of cowardly assassins. Keep all of it I say. These are your lands. If you have advice to help us with our situation, and if your chief would sit with us and give us his wisdom, we would be honored. I am a shaman of the Green, and can help your people interpret visions and provide augury for the days ahead."

I can kind of see where you're coming from with the knowledge checks thing Mohag.

knowledge.engineering on bracer, diverse training (student of scrolls): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Lucky after all!

Janus recounts his learning before the Pathfinders move off (and before the encounter with the Kellids.)

"We did read a Numerian scroll. This bracer is a protective device that reduces the power if incoming attacks against the wearer. It has limited power, but is very valuable. It could save the wearer's life."

Later, with the Kellids....

"Listen to the wisdom of the Green-Keeper. She makes you a most generous and unique offer. You would do well to accept it, rather than try to rob us of our gold. We would work out a trade with your leader. If you refuse..." Janus takes his dire flail in hand.

Mohag isn't fond of the raiding behavior of his own people, and he isn't fond of it coming from Kellids.

He reacts as an Ulfen would be expected to when confronted with muggers.

"Don't bother begging, Vina. They only respect strength.
This isn't yours, Kellid. Did you forge the star-metal? No. Did you dig up what we so easily found? No. You waited for us to do it and now try to steal it. We hold it, so we own it.
I will not back down and I will not beg. Leave us in peace while you still can."

Who is wearing the bracer?

Readying an arrow Herman speaks in a cold flat voice, loud but devoid of emotion.

"If this was yours you would have had it before now. Best change your tone and your stance. Talk of 'cuts' and 'bruises' again you will find a few new holes in the one thing you do own, your skin."

Intimidate: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

"Now talk civil or begone one way or another."

Jumping down from the top of the egg as the hatch is pried open, Ayla grins. "See? Egg Hatch! Good thing Ayla know about egg!" Looking over the Shiny Discs, and the metal bracer, she furrows her brow. "Ayla never see egg with Metal inside. Metal egg strange!"

Walking down the hill, Ayla's tail flicks happily back and forth. Upon seeing the path blocked, her mood quickly changes.
"Kellids Tough! Ayla Tough Too! Ayla give Apple? Ayla give Punches? Ayla no give shiny stone."

If nobody wants the bracer, Ayla might have tried it on to see how it looks? Otherwise, I'm not too worried about who has it.

At the first sign of a weapon being hefted, the Kellid rager hefts her greatsword and prepares to charge in. "This will be easier when you are dead."

The ragers have greatswords drawn with a flail at their belt, the warriors have longbows drawn with longswrods at their belt. I'm assuming Ayla is wearing the bracer.

Vina will delay until before Lakadee.

Kellids used to give me trouble, too. They will likely fall easily against your superior numbers.

Eliphaz sighs.

Ayla, takes a moment to think about her footwork, braces herself for a oncoming assault.

Move Action Martial Flexibility for Dodge. Ready an attack for when an enemy comes into range for a punch!

The kellid rage belows a wordless battle cry and charges in with a reckless offence. She takes Ayla's punch and only grunts as ribs crack. Bringing her greatsword around in two hands she tries to put Ayla down, but misses as Alya dodges the blow by a hair's width.

greatsword;rage, charge: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
damage; rage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 5) + 7 = 16

One of the warriors with a longbow moves up trying to find a clear target but can't find any. He goes for the next best thing and fires at Eliphaz who is unengaged and in the back. Eliphaz sees the shot coming and effortlessly catches it in his buckler.

longbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

"I did warn you I believe."

Herman takes a small step and eyes up the attacker in yellow pants before releasing an arrow.

Longbow: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 12

Thats what I get for talking big I guess.

5ft step / studied target / point blank shot @ yellow

"Desna guide my hand!"
Mohag casts True Strike and draws his bola.

Janus tries to take down the apparent leader.

5' step, study Red rager (move action), attack (standard)

flail vs red, studied target, flank: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 25damage: 1d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12

"We make endings. Your blood and bones will feed the Green."

Janus Too moves to guard Janus' flank.

Sprint to move 20', standard to ready an action.

AC=17 this round from fighting defensively, but the boost might only apply if Janus is attacked?

Janus's blow strikes the barbarian leader hard, shattering the same ribs the Ayla's blow cracked. She spits blood but remains standing on the power of her rage alone.

She is still standing and is not staggered.

The other kellid rager charges in and swings at the small crocodile figment. fighting defensively would only apply if the readied action goes off.

greatsword;rage, charge: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
damage; rage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 1) + 7 = 10

The last warriors fires his longbow at Mohag but his heavy armor turns the arrow aside.

longbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

What happened when the 3 HP figment crocodile got hit with 10 dmg?

it vanishes when it dies, and it has CON 15. It also vanishes if Janus is knocked unconscious, falls asleep, or dies. So right now it is at -7hp and bleeding.

Throwing another punch to the Red Ranger Rager's midsection, Ayla glares as she continue to trade blows with the Boss Lady. "No Steal! Not Nice!"

Punch to Hit!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15Punch Damage!: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

If she goes down, I want to head toward the -other- Rager, preferably in a path avoiding AoOs. I don't need to be provoking any more of those swings.

The leader of the small band of raiders collapses under the last blow from Ayla! But the rest show no sign of giving up.

After seeing her go down, Ayla skirts around Janus to put the pressure on the remaining Rager.

Moved Ayla on the map, including her path.

Vina is now small size unless told otherwise, and she rides Lakadee on her tree swing.

Vina gently spurs Lakadee to attack the stubborn human stinkers. Once there, she dismounts her tree swing and heals Janus Too.

[Handle Animal +9 vs. DC 10 --> Automakes]
Lakadee slam vs. blue, charge: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 = 14 for 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 damage.
Vina fast dismounts, Ride DC 20: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 [Success --> Free action]
Vina CLW on Janus Too: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
[Vina move action to retrieve the handful of Goodberries she's carrying, and as a free action drops the berries in his gaping maw as he wakes up! --> +8 additional hit points]

I am aware that 12 HP is more than he needed, but Vina would have no immediate non-metagame way to know that; even the status spell can't really provide a detailed HP account...

"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Inner Sea!"

Eliphaz casts Bless.

Lakadee charges in and hits the other rager (blue) who was still off balance from charging Janus Too. The blow was solid but the raging warrior is unconcerned.

Unphased that their leader went down, the archer (yellow) takes a shot at Janus who is now in the clear.

longbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 adding point blank shot that I forgot earlier.

Mohag moves and throws his bola to trip the berserker.
Bola, Nonproficient, Cover, into melee, True Strike, Bless: 1d20 + 1 - 4 - 4 - 4 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 - 4 - 4 - 4 + 20 + 1 = 30

The bola wraps around the barbarians legs and she falls to the ground.

Tempted to rush the archers, Janus sees the prone rager as the priority target.

5' step, full attack blue

dire flail, twf, bless, vs prone: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11damage, main: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
dire flail, twf, bless, vs prone: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10damage, off-hand: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

She's prone and she charged, so that might do the trick.

"Do not fear. Every ending is a beginning."

"......"

Unconscious but stable.

Herman takes a step closer and launches another arrow at the attacker in yellow.

Longbow: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6

Studied Target & Bless

The other barbarian does down under Janus's onslaught with the dire flail.

Herman lands a solid arrow into an archer.

One of the archers (purple) takes a step back and fires on janus but the shot goes wide.

longbow; point blank shot: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 = 15
damage; point blank shot: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Daze (DC 15) on Yellow.

Vina takes a full round action to stuff Janus Too's mouth with her handful of Goodberries [+8 pts.]

Vina points Lakadee next to her (5-foot step for Lakadee) and tells him to 'Defend' Janus Too.

[dice=Handle Animal Automakes, Free Action]

Lakadee delays to follow and protect Janus Too.

After two attempts to shoot him, Janus decides to deal with the close-by archer.

dire flail vs yellow, twf, bless: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 1 = 20damage, main: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
dire flail vs yellow, twf, bless: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 = 15damage, off-hand: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

"We make endings. Your blood and bones will feed the Green."

Janus hits the archer with both of his swings, already wounded from Herman, the archer goes limp.

"Fate favor you, archer."
Mohag uses Bit of Luck on Herman.

Assuming he's now conscious after being fed the goodberries...

Janus Too opens his ice-blue eyes, He gives a purring, appreciative growl at Vina and Lakadee, and ambles over to Janus to screen him against the remaining enemy.

Move action, and ready action.

If this would create a barrier for Herman's shooting, wait until after the shot.

Lakadee readies an action to strike anyone attacking Janus Too:

Slam: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 for 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 damage.

Stepping over the fallen Rager, Ayla approaches the last archer while baring her teeth and releasing a predatory growl. "Ayla Tough. Ayla Friends Tough. You want die?"
Punch to Hit!: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 = 17 Punch Damage!: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
A swift and strong punch connects with his ribs I hope! as the growling rumble erupts from her chest.

Again shuffeling forward and studying his target Herman lets an arrow fly at the attacker in purple.

"Feeling lucky? I am."

Longbow: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 = 14
Longbow bit of luck: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 = 22

Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Wounded and with all his allies defeated, that last archer withdrawals and flees. You can run him down or shoot him in the back should you choose to. Combat is over.

Shoot him! SHOOT HIM! SHOOT HIM!

With what, exactly?

"We should let him go. He may bring back others, but we will be long gone by then, and it is the merciful thing to do."
