[PFS / GameDay7 / GMGLYN] Mod Gallows of Madness (Inactive)

Game Master GHembree

Hekk tries to dodge a falling cabinet but is struck a glancing blow by one of the fiendish cases as he moves out of the room.

Nanny easily dances out of the way of another toppling bookcase.

Feeling wobbly, Tathane fails to move fast enough to avoid a falling cabinet.

Bot: Tareal makes for the doorway and is struck by tumbling furniture on her way.

Bot: Aryas just barely dodges another falling cabinet as he evacuates the records room.

Moving into the Bile Pit room the heroes are assaulted by dying and panicked mites trapped in the demon’s bile web blindly grasping at anything they can!

Tumble past them, a PC must succeed at a DC 10 Acrobatics check. Or wriggle away from them, a PC must succeed at a DC 12 Escape Artist check.

Aryas:
Hekk: 8-6+2 = 4 dam
Tareal: 3+2 = 5 dam
Nanny: 6 dam
Tathane: 2+1 = 3 dam.

Everyone Roll an Acrobatics or Escape Artist check.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

The cabinet smacking into Tathane shakes him out of his unsteady state. He quickly moves forward and dodges past the mites.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Did Hekk just take 4 more damage or is that the total damage he has taken?

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Nanny hurries through the room, but she's clawed at by several mites.

@Hekk Tarael, Aryas is in the next room. You are next to a downed... Is it a dretch? I think it is a downed dretch. I know. I healed and moved closer to be able to heal him next time. Well in that case no need as battle was over.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Unfortunately Tareal is still a bit doozy.

Tathane tumbles away from the grasping hands as he heads for the cellar.

Hekk jumps over the doomed mites caught in the demon's bile web.

Nanny tries as she might but gets scratched anyway by the clawing hands.

Tarael tumbles through the demon web room taking some damage from the grasping hands.

BOT: Aryas easily avoids the mite’s hands as he moves into the cellar.

The building shutters again as parts of the roof falls into the water causing the barrels in the flooded cellar to slouch back and forth and roll around. You have to dive under them or toughen your way through towards the exit.

PC must succeed at a DC12 swim check or DC12 Constitution check to avoid taking more damage.

Aryas:
Hekk: 4 dam
Tareal: 5+3 = 8 dam
Nanny: 6+3 = 9 dam
Tathane: 3 dam.

Everyone Roll a swim or Constitution check.

swim: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Con Check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Tathane studies the moving barrels for a moment before realizing that there is no way he can swim under them. Instead, he plows through them.

Constitution: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

"This is horrible! I have the feeling this was our fault!" he shouts.

He tries to toughen his way through towards the exit

Constitution: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Hekk dives under a barrel to avoid it smashing into him.

Nanny gets hit by a wild rolling barrel.

Tathane pushes through two bobbing barrels without a scratch.

Aryas tries to slip past a barrel but it barrels into him leaving a big bruise.

Tarael zigs when she should have zagged running smack dab into a sloshing barrel.

Despite the chaos of spinning bobbing barrels and collapsing building, everyone makes it to the stairs.

As the building shakes and groans, you can hear snapping noises as structural beams are breaking. The precarious stairs leading out of the basement are falling apart. You must tread carefully or grab hold and climb past them!

Roll a DC13 Climb check or DC14 Perception check

Aryas: +3 dam
Hekk: 4 dam
Tareal: 8+3 = 11 dam
Nanny: 9+1 = 10 dam
Tathane: 3 dam.

Everyone Roll a Climb or Perception check.

climb: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Oops. Slipped.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

"Don't worry, Aryas. This place was an eyesore anyway!"

Perc: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22
Feeling battered und utterly bruised Tareal still manges to weave through the worst.

Perception : 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

”I really cannot believe that we are really fleeing and are smashed in the process of escaping! This is so not my heroic style!“

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Tathane carefully steps up the stairs, being sure to avoid the boards that are splitting.

Hekk slips as he climbs up the stairs sustaining a minor injury in the process.

Nanny deftly hops from step to step avoiding any loose boards.

Tarael follows Nanny step for step without injury.

Aryas sees which steps are still solid as he makes he way up the stairs without incident.

Tathane follows the others up the well worn safe path up the collapsing stairway.

Out of the cellar and into the Kitchen the heroes are confronted by a stream of frenzied rats also scrambling to exit the house before it crumbles completely. To exit the house you must wade through the rats or herd them away as you make your escape from the ominously shaking and crumbling house as parts of the ceiling fall near you filling the air with dust.

Roll a DC10 Knowledge (nature), DC10 Handle Animals, or DC11 Fortitude save to avoid damage.

Aryas: 3 dam
Hekk: 4+2 = 6 dam
Tareal: 11 dam
Nanny: 10 dam
Tathane: 3 dam.

Everyone Roll a Knowledge (nature) check, Handle Animals check, or Fortitude save.

Knowledge(nature): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Tathane pauses for a moment at the top of the stairs. Rats! Way too many of them. Unfortunately he has, in the past, dealt enough with rats to learn something of their behavior. Enough, at least, that he can get through this disgusting stream without damage.

Nanny will make the Knowledge (nature) check. She'll take a -2 to give +2 to Hekk.

"Oh, it's just rats."
Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 2 = 11

Kn Nature: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Hekk has no patience with the rats and starts wading through them swinging his spear quite ineffectually.

Aryas tries to guide the rats.

”Easy guys, easy!“ he shouts.

handle animal : 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Trying to find a way through the rats Tareal weaves her way through and manages.... almost.
KnowNat: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Knowing how to deal with rats, Tathane makes his way through and jumps out the window without a scratch or bite.

Nanny follows Tathane’s example and scampers out of the collapsing building.

Hekk, Aryas, Tarael have more trouble with the mass of rats as they all get bite by the panicking rodents.

Roll a DC10 Knowledge (nature), DC10 Handle Animals, or DC11 Fortitude save to avoid damage.

As the building gives a finale shudder, all the heroes jump clear of the collapsing structure. As the dust settles and the pathfinders count their fingers and toes, they see a pile of debris where the manor once strode.

Counting yourself luck, your group makes its way back to Saringallow and report to Mayor Trinelli turning over the missing records. The mayor congratulates you on your bravery and resourcefulness.

She thanks you for your service to Saringalow and speaks highly of your future in the Pathfinder Society.

This brings the adventure to a close. Thank you for playing all the way through, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed GMing for the group!

Aryas: 3 + 3 = 6 dam
Hekk: 6 + 2 = 8 dam
Tareal: 11 + 2 = 13 dam
Nanny: 10 dam
Tathane: 3 dam.

Awesome. It has been fun to play.

Thanks for running the game for us. It has been a fun group!

Thanks!! This was so much fun!!!:-D

Aryas is so happy the team made it out alive.

”Puuuh! Sarinis really were bad company! I am going to inform my siblings about this adventure! And you guys... I love you!! It was so great at your side!!“

Later with the mayor...

”Mayor, closures are so sweet... and people will be sad and happy, right!? So a perfect opportunity for us to celebrate!! A party! And this time... don’t forget the kissing booth!?“ Aryas says with a grin.

Many, many thanks. It was a blast.

Thanks! I enjoyed this quite a bit. You did a great job GMing.

Thanks everyone! You have been a great group to GM for the last 8 months.

Dang. That's a lot of weeks. It's been fantastic being able to stick with a single group for that long.

Yeah, I didn't know it went for that long. I like the group.

I am already missing updates to this campaign. :-(

Does anybody volunteer to GM a scenario so our characters can continue together? I am currently not able to GM but would do the next scenario and GM Glyn can join us with his own character?! :-D

I'd be willing to run a scenario or module. Does anyone have something in mind?

Great! I am open for everything!

Here is my PFS tracker:

https://www.pfstracker.net/#/players/314670/report

Who else is in?

I am also up for it!

Yeah, I'm in. Just had to make sure I had enough free characters for PaizoCon.

Mine is at https://www.pfstracker.net/#/players/141936/report. Naturally I would be up for it too.

Howe about the Down the Blighted Path module since we have been dealing with lots of blight already.

Down the Blighted Path seems to be designed for 5th level characters. I think most of us are not high enough level. I'm open to pretty much any of them. I've GMd/played all of the following in non-PSF mode Crypt, Masks of the Living God, Carrion Hill, The Harrowing, and Dragon's Demand. I'm currently playing Emerald Spire as a PFS game.

I think we are all fifth level with the extra chronicle, right?

GM MattMorris, I am up for everything you want to GM. :-)

Yes, I think if you took the bonus you would be 5th. Of course, you could bring whatever character you like.

I was thinking either Down the Blighted Path or Tears at Bitter Manor, but we'll see what everyone can play.

Wow! Great. I vote for Tears at Bitter Manor. :-)

That sounds cool too.

So, Aryas, Tarael, Tathane, and Hekk are in. Anyone else?

Tears at Bitter Manor sound good?

For me perfect!

Fine with me. I need to get my chronicles and get leveled up.

When do you want to start?

Tarael is for the moment in use. What level is this?

It's 5th level
