PFS Game Day #3: GM Silbeg's 6-05: Slave Ships of Absalom (Inactive)

Game Master Silbeg

Seeing Mikail and Zommy attacking the beast, Thorson turns his attention to helping free the pathfinder.

Not sure if you want a skill check or not...disable device?

Disable Device: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

That's really odd... I had posted... must have gotten swallowed by the forum goblins

No skill check needed... she is easily freed.

Erric stands up, moves to the beast, drawing his mace.

The gnome says, "Thank you very much! My name is Rilla and I will do whatever I can to help!"

She uses her domain ability to fire a blast of electricity at the keeper.
electrical arc: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 for: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The keeper falls.

The creature then goes. It attacks the tasty dwarf, again.
bite: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 4 = 28 for: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Thorson fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

init: Captain: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Adeah, Kyras, Zommy, and Mikail are up!

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Mikail takes another swing at the dog but misses

Now locked and loaded, but with a harder target with her allies dangerously close, she does her best to aim over Zommy's head.

Musket shot (touch): 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 8 - 4 = 15
Damage: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

BOOM! She lowers her musket and hastily pushes another round into the chamber.

Zommy continues to flank with his Halfling brother, making another swing with his short sword.

Short Sword + Flanking!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

He manages to sink the blade in!

Damage: 1d4 - 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) - 1 + (1) = 3

He then moves out of the way after hearing Adeah's shot go over his head, having a fear of firearms that made him abandon guns long ago for the trusty point of a crossbow bolt. He gives her a clear shot as he backs out, giving her a sign that he would go back in after her next attack.

Damn... I forgot to add in the flanking from my last attack roll.

Kyras stands up and moves to stand next to the demon dog. Going around the bodies, either standing or prone, does not provoke any aoos.

The door next to Mikail opens, and a woman steps out. "What is going on here?" she asks, as she steps through the door, kukri in her hand, another on her belt. "I guess we've got some unhappy customers. Kinore, can't you do anything right?"

She attacks the halfling Mikail with her kukri.
kurki attac: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 = 12
Mikail is missed by the blade, as the situation becomes far more complicated.

Penalties are for range.
Perception: Adeah: 1d20 + 8 - 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 8 = 12
Perception: Erric: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 1 - 4 = -1
Perception: Kyras: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 11 - 4 = 21
Perception: Mikail: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 - 2 = 22
Perception: Thorson: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 4 - 2 = 12
Perception: Zommy: 1d20 + 9 - 6 ⇒ (13) + 9 - 6 = 16

Thorson and Erric are up!

Err...what? Was there a space-time warp here or am I missing somethign?

Nope, just sound causing more enemies to join the fight.

I think that this may be the captain.. joining the fight after destroying some documents. I am tempted to to an acro roll to get into the office and see whats burning... it would also keep me from being flanked. any suggestions?

Correct. A new combatant has entered the fray. You would guess, correctly, that she is the captain.

Ok it was the map of Halmots Apts that was throwing me off

Thorson attempts to cure himself.

Cast Defensively DC 17: 1d20 + 4 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 5 + 2 = 19

CLW on Thorson: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 nice, almost back to full health

Zommy signals to Mikail that he is going to make a bolt for the office.

My crossbow is on the floor and I have great acrobatics, I was planning on going in there.

Zommy, you would have to acro past the dog, me, and the captain if you could even move that far in one turn. You should help with the elf and dog, and I will go in. I have to move anyways because I am flanked and flat-footed, and will get partial cover from the doorway. The pathfinder prisoner and Thorson are both up to help on this side of the room.

Erric swings his mace at the beast with all his might!

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14 for possible 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Since you're flanked, you also have to acro past the dog and the captain, and I wouldn't have to acro through you since you're an ally. We have the same Acrobatics, except I have more armor and HP in case they do hit. I'd be more than happy to delay until after your turn though and see how far you get.

I didn't know I would have to acro past the dog.. would that be one roll total or one roll each?

Yeah because you're moving out of a threatened square, and not 5-foot stepping, you'll provoke an attack opportunity from both. So basically, you'll do an Acrobatics vs both to move out of that square. You do one roll vs both of them, I believe. You're not actually Acrobating PAST the dog, you're acrobating out of the square you're in.

Zommy has it right. You make one roll... the second target is at a +2CMB, and so far.

Erric, who is smart enough to take a 5' and flank, hits the creature.
mace damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Rilla (the gnome) now casts another spell, Produce Flame
She throws the flame at the dog.
ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24crit confirm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 She deals damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 5) + 6 = 12

Interestingly, you notice that the fire burns are not healing. You think it would be a good idea to hit it hard as long as Rilla can still burn it!

The creature then attacks Thorson, again.
bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 bite: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Adeah, Kyras, Zommy, Mikail are up! The creature looks pretty ragged right now, for the first time. Like a single good hit would put it down!

She bites her tongue in the hopes of bringing down the creature, and pulls the trigger.

Musket shot (touch): 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 8 - 4 = 20
Damage: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

BOOM! Quickly, she reloads her weapon.

Zommy is concerned about what she could possibly be destroying. Extremely afraid that it's evidence which will prevent him from bringing her in, he makes a mad double move dash into the room, accepting any attacks they might bring his way.

He has 10 ft of movement left, if he's allowed to look around when he runs in there.....

Perception, looking for burning documents: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

No acrobatics, since I'd have to move at half speed. First move gets me past Thorson, getting an attack from the creature, then if I'm still on my feet I'll run past the captain into the quarters.

Trusting Zommy to take care of his back, Mikail will focus on the donly thing again.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 2 = 23
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Zommy, you cannot get past the captain without using acrobatics, at a +5 to her CMD. However, you have ten feet left, so I will roll it for you.
Zommy tumble: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Unfortunately, the captain is able to intercept Zommy's maneuver, pushing him back. by rule, you lose the move action, and take an AoO

Captain AoO: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
She misses Zommy, but prevents him from entering the room.

On the other hand, the creature does not bite at Zommy, because Adeah knocks it out! Then, Mikail deftly finishes it off.

Rilla uses another use of her Produce Flame to burn the creature, and prevent it from regenerating. It stops breathing, and dies.

Thorson and Erric are up!

I haven't gone yet, lol.
Acrobatics-ACP: 1d20 + 3 - 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 - 3 = 11
Kyras tries to sneak through Zommy's space to stand in front of the captain and then he tries to strike at her.
Mwk Warhammer: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 1 = 191d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Neither has the Captain... she goes after Kyras. I guess I was confused yesterday. BTW - you cannot tumble when wearing medium or heavy armor.

Kyras moves up to the captain, and pounds her with his warhammer. She returns the honor with her kukris.
ight hand kukri: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
left hand kukri: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 crit confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Thorson and Erric are up (now)

Thorson finally decides to stop laying down on the job and get up from prone.
"Thank ya lass, that fire was much appreciated. That beasty was getting too familiar with the taste of dwarf..." Thorson says to Rilla.

Turning his attention to the captian he cast Hex. DC 16 to save, -2 AC

I appreciate all the corrections and clarifications, Silbeg, I'm on the verge of beginning to GM so it's really nice to reinforce things. I totally forgot that you can't in Medium/Heavy, even though it makes total sense, but that still lets me use it since I have a Mithril Medium, right?

A little confused as to what is alive on the map and where the BBEG is.

I was too.. I had to look through the last couple pages to make sure of everything. So far, We are all good, other than Thorson, who took some damage. The only enemy still up would be the captain over by Zommy and I.

Atually, Zommy, your mithral shirt is light... A mithral breastplate would be treated as light, for most things, including this, assuming you have medium proficiency. The note was for Kyras, who is wearing a breastplate, which is medium, not Zommy. Sorry, should have been more specific who I was talking to.

@Mikail and @Erric... I've cleared the Trollhound (which is what it was) and the kennel master off the board. The only enemy left is the captain.

Will Save, Captain: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 The captain succumbs to Thorson's hex, making her easier to hit.

Erric is still up.

Pointing his hand crossbow at the captain he bellows, "Lay down your weapons and surrender!"

Not sure if this would be diplomacy or intimidate.

diplomacy + inspiration: 1d20 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 7 + (3) = 20

Erric's pleas seem to have no effect on the captain, who grips her twinned kukris tighter, if anything.

Adeah, Kyras, Zommy, and Mikail are up!

Gripping his warhammer with both hands, he swings at the captain again.
Mwk warhammer: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 = 171d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Zommy attempts to make another move through the Captain so he can get to the burning documents.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

If I fail, can I take another move to get another attempt? This would obviously be after the first AOO.

Acrobatics #2!: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

I think both fail so Zommy attempts to get to the documents but the Captain does a good job of standing her ground.

You know... It's really hard to shoot with everyone in the way. She prays she doesn't hit any of her allied as she switches targets to what she assumes is the captain of the ship.

Musket shot (touch): 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 4 = 24
Crit confirm: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 8 - 4 = 22
Damage: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
Extra: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Sweet, 19 damage!

She pushes another round into the chamber.

Who do you pray to? Because Zommy needs to start praying to them, haha. Also, I believe a Musket is x4 damage? :)

As long as that crit confirms, I'm pretty sure the captain blows up, in which case Zommy gets a clear run into the room to try and put out any burning documents he sees.

Oh yea, you're right!

Additional damage I should've added: 2d12 + 2 ⇒ (10, 12) + 2 = 24

Wow. 43 total if that crit confirms.

Boom. That should make up for those misfires earlier. :P

Damn good shot!!!

ummm. I think I am going to hold action until we get the results on that bolt from the heavens that Adeah just unleashed. I don't think that there is even going to be any stabilizing to do here... in which case we will be free to move about and try and save the burning documents, explore the ship etc

Nice shootin' Adeah! Good idea Mikail, the more documents we save the better

Damn good shot!!

What happens when our GM dies, mid-adventure? :P

Teasing of course, it's the holidays and all.

lol @ Zommy...*worried look around the room* but he did say he was going camping. Hope all is well.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Oh did he?! I must have zoned out. I'm sure he's just recuperating or something, no biggie. At least that makes sense though, haha, I totally forgot he mentioned that.

umm... after reviewing things, that was another gm. Oops.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Ah! I got it confused with the other time when he said he was going to be out for a convention. Well.... now this is odd, haha.

I just wonder what's going to happen. I really hope that all is well with him though
