[PFS] GM Skipper's Low-level games (Inactive)

Game Master SkipperD

"Jinkies!" Rilia says, holding her wand in one hand and the bound man's bindings in the other.

Lizbeth groans inwardly, seeing more of this mess of a puzzle lock in together, yet it still made little sense as they had no chance to gain a motive! The sheriff it seemed, always butted in at the wrong moment. Ignoring her, Lizbeth kneels and looks to Rillia her hand flexing.

"Right my dear, let us question the fellow and find out quite what is going on here. Sheriff, if you would check on the children please?"

Whether the Sheriff leaves or not, Lizbeth will flick her wrist to catch a wand made of blackened Demon bone, carved haphazardly. Touching it to 'Uncle's' wounds, she watches them slowly start to seal and waits for him to awaken.

This assuming we didn't kill him outright, use Infernal healing so he regains ten hp over a minute. If he starts to resist, i will non-lethally clock him ^^

Staring at the man with a wicked smile she nods to Rillia.

Care to do the honours dearest?"

He does indeed have the same last name as the alchemist... Dun, dun, DUUUUN.

The sheriff frowns at the accusations leveled at an upstanding member of the community, but she keeps her apprehensions to her self and sees to the children.

With application of Lizbeth's wand, Borvius eventually regains consciousness and after a brief moment of confusion settles into a spiteful glare.

With application of Lizbeth's wand [Rilia's wand], Borvius eventually regains consciousness and after a brief moment of confusion settles into a spiteful glare.

"Wakey wakey! Wanna tell us what's going on? Otherwise...." She holds up her suggestive wand and nods to whatever the strange, mute, gray thing is that seems to follow this party around like a pet.

intimidate: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

The gray thing steps out of the shadows, expressionless, casually holding his katana with the man's own blood dripping off of it.

aid intimidate: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (16) - 2 = 14

-Posted with Wayfinder

Stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Lebraerio discreetly fades in the background

Borvius snarls defiantly at your attempts at interrogation.

"I aint afraid of no rabble-rousers sent by the moths. You'll get nothing from me! Nothing, I tells ya!"

The short wrinkled thing asks who the moths are.

He also quietly points out to the sheriff that the man's choice of words seem very incriminating.

Sheriff Feldane furrows her brow, trying to take all this in. After a tense moment, she adresses you.

"This whole thing is a mess... As far as I can tell, you've been on the side of the law in this, so hear me out; I can keep the events here under wraps for a day at most, so you could investigate Borvius' business, Ilsurian Storage & Hauling. I recognize some of the toughs downstairs as his employees, so you must be able to find something there..."

Lizbeth rolls his eyes at the tough man act, but refrains herself for kicking a man in cuffs with the sherriff present. Turning her back on the pathetic businessman she sighs deeply Deeper and darker we go, this is a mess! Nodding to the sheriff she shrugs and turns to her companions.

"Right, so we have a lead, let us put Leb to good use eh?" she winks suggestively at Kara, mostly to see if she blushes before continuing. " Time to investigate!"

Oh, I think we both know that Leb has some...interesting talents, don't we?, Kara replies with a wink.

Onward to Ilsurian Storage & Hauling!

Sheriff, can you point us in the direction of the storage & hauling company? I think it's time we paid a visit.

Bump.

Whoops! I'd forgotten to actually post after re-reading the next part...

Ilsurian Storage & Hauling is easy to find, as it is right next door to Mistress Robellas Curiosity Shop.

Map updated.

All doors leading into the warehouse are closed.

It seems it's time for me to show some of my ..talents?

Take 20 in DD for 31 (+7 from skill, +2 from Deft hands, +2 from Msw thieves tools

If the lock is now open, Leb bows to Kara
i'm glad my talents arise your... interest.

Kara blushes at the attention.

You can pick my locks any time, loverboy.

Now, let's see what's interesting about this warehouse.

She listens at the door.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

If the lock is now open, Leb bows to Kara

i'm glad my talents arise your... interest.

"Not as much as your own I see...."

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Rilia's too busy teasing to notice anything else.

Whilst Leb plies his 'trade' on the doors to the Warehouse, Lizbeth uses the time to move to the rear of the building and check for anyone hanging around or any back doors. If nothing is found she will jog around the building before rejoining her companions as they prepare to enter the building ahead.

Re-cast Mage armour from wand

"Well well Leb my boy, you do have 'deft fingers'"

Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 12

Kara also uses her wand to give her armor protection.

Mage Armor 48/50 charges remaining.

Eh, which door are you trying to get in through? The warehouse has four entrances.

The smaller ones nearest us, unless Leb disagrees. He's the one who started it.

Girls...

Whispering into Kara's ear, his hand resting in the small of her back

Balfour sighs amusedly. After the excitement at the manor, he'd forgotten about our party's amorous tendencies.

"Me and my sword are right behind you," he says to Lebraerio, "and don't try to make any innuendos out of that."

As Lebraerio kneels down to get to work on the the lock, he realizes that isn't even locked. Opening the door, you see a desk and chair sitting against the east wall, with additional chairs situated nearby. Wall lamps light the room. To the north of the desk is a single door leading deeper into the warehouse.

A man sits behind the desk, and as you open the door he looks up and smiles.

"How can I help you?"

Looking at Balfour
"Me and my sword are right behind you"? I'm not sure I could do worse that what you say, innuendo or not. Sorry, Balfour, but that doesn't beat my drum...

Leb winks at the dwarf
Sleight of hand: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Kara gives an in-character exasperated look in Leb's direction.

Boys! They never stop.

Composing herself for the warehouse manager, she replies,

We are working with the Sheriff investigating the series of murders lately. Are you employed by Borvius Monchello? And are you engaged in any illegal activities here?

Sense Motive on the response: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

The man seems genuinely worried as he answers Kara.

"Oh, my... Borvius Monchello is indeed my employer, but as far as I know, all business conducted here is above board. I'll go get the foreman. He'll be able to answer your questions."

He stands up and moves towards the door leading further into the warehouse.

Balfour leans towards Kara and whispers in her ear.

"Should we follow this guy? For all I know, he could be warning the other criminals, or running away..."

I think so. We haven't been too cautious so far, let's learn of our mistakes before it's too late.

Leb will follow the man as discreetly as possible
Stealth, ACP: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 - 1 = 8

Or maybe he wants to get his attention, who knows?

Wow. Could you make a little more noise following him?

Kara notices Leb not-so-subtly following the warehouse manager and follows him, neither trying to be quiet nor noisy.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
I think he heard you...

Kara and Lebraerio skulk after the man into the warehouse proper, just in time to see him signal to a trio of bow wielding men on a catwalk.

Lizbeth is a bit slower on the follow but when she enters the room she sighs at the obvious ambush awaiting them. Knowing she needed to take him out quick the Pirate steps into her Dragon style with a roar as he nails sharpen into wicked claws. She lashes out with a vicious elbow seeking to stun the man.

Unarmed, Rage, Stunning fist, Dragon style: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20 for Non-lethal damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

I'm guessing you meant Fortitude against Stunning fist.

Fort: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

Lizbeth lands a heavy blow, though the impact isn't as big as she hoped.

The rogue returns the favor and draws a short sword and retaliates.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Lizbeth dodges the swing effortlessly.

Kara moves into the warehouse for a better shot and tries to take down the manager with an arcane blast of force.

Kara's missile finishes the job Lizbeth started, and the rogue falls unconscious

"An ambush? How unoriginal. This wasn't even a good one, you could have waited 'till we were all inside the back room."

Balfour sighs and, with exceptional speed for a dwarf, dashes into the room and under the catwalk.

Quickly, Leb takes his bow and aims at the thugs On Green bowman, don't know if they have cover

Short bow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 6

They have partial cover: +2 AC, +1 Reflex

Lebraerio's arrow finds its mark.

The gray shadowy thing clambers onto the wolf's back. With a whisper, the wolf moves into the warehouse and across it to the ladder.

mount the wolf and have it double move to the ladder

Rilia enters the warehouse prper and is not at all surprised at what she sees.

"Typical. Archimeles said it would be like this." Rilia says and then in her orating voice. "Still with Lucky Lebraerio Lothario with us unexpected danger is expected. You guys in the rafters know why they call him that don't you. Because it takes a certain kind of luck to live the life he does, and a certain sort of luck to survive it."

The thug in the middle of the catwalk kicks a large urn over the edge, sending it hurtling towards Balfour. It narrowly misses the dwarf and shatters on the floor, but its contents, a swarm of tiny oozes, spreads over him.

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Fortitude: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Fortitude, poison: 1d20 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 3 = 26

Though he resists most of the oozes' horrible effects, he is still overcome by them.

The two other thugs fire an arrow each, one at Kara and one at Lizbeth.

Attack v Kara: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Attack v Lizbeth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Taking a step back from the sudden ooze, Lizbeth lets out a sigh. Rummaging through her gear she finds her Fire flask and holds it ready, waiting for Balfour to be clear of the creature.

"Hey Balfour Baby! Get outta there!"

Readied Flask throw: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 14 for Fire splash damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 x1.5

"Ugh... these slimes are more disgusting than an year old sandwich!"

Overcome by an unfamiliar disturbance in his stomach, Balfour slowly complies with Lizbeth's request and moves forward.

With Balfour out of the way, Lizbeth scores a direct hit on the swarm. Unfortunately, its squelching mass is unharmed by the blast.

Knowledge (Dungeoneering), anyone?

Leb let another arrow go, hitting the same target

Lebraerio recognizes the collection of oozes as a Sanguine Ooze Swarm.
N Tiny ooze (swarm). You have one question, but you do know both the ooze and swarm traits, including that swarms of tiny creatures can be harmed by weapons, albeit with the damage halved.

In an expert display of multitasking, Lebraerio takes out one of the thugs on the catwalk.

Kara doesn't know what an ooze swarm is, but it's disgusting and she decides to find out if it likes Force damage. After moving away from its reach, of course. Did I mention they're disgusting?

Force Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 FM 3/6 remaining.

It's an Sanguine ooze swarm.. you can hit them with weapons, but you can't harm them much with weapons...They don't seem affected by fire, I try to remember if cold can destroy them..

GM:are they vulnerable to cold?

bardic knowledge: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

"Sorry, I only study pretty things."

Rilia rounds the shelves next to Kara, pulls her bow with elven grace and fires!

GM: I forgot to add Rilia Inspire bonus to my hit and damage rolls. Could you add 2 more damage to Green thug?
@To all: Happy new year!

Kara blasts a few oozes to squidgy bits.

@Lebraerio: They do indeed take 1½ times damage from cold. Extra damage on the thug noted.

Rilia takes out the thug with a well-aimed arrow.
