PFS Gameday IV Traitor's Lodge (Inactive)

Game Master Curaigh

The cauldron is magic, it has a heat source that keeps its contents on a boil.

"This... This is where I woke up," Valais says. "Thurl. He was standing over me and he said... He said, something to me," but she can't recall what it was.

1d20 + 9 - 10 ⇒ (7) + 9 - 10 = 6

"AH YES, Valais says in that odd voice. "Thurl stepped up and told me, “It seemed like you wanted to learn what I was up to, Pathfinder. Think of this as the first step in teaching you. Ah, but your growth is not yet done.” Then I remember waking up in the incubation vat."

Wembly will cast protection from evil upon himself.

Valos, the most dedicated of chefs can really get into their work....don't you agree?"

"Good idea Wembly." and Galandaro also casts Protection from Evil on himself.

Dorobo watches as the other two enter the room. Not seeing them enveloped in fireball trap, he moves up as well.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Seeing the two creatures, Dorobo draws his swords. "Monsters in the vat." Stepping down the stairs out of sight.

Seeing one of his companions descending the stairs, Valor descends the opposite set.

After casting, Wembly and Whiskers will follow beside Valor.

No telling how many, Dorobo...at least a couple.

You won't be able to follow Wembly, until next round. For clarification the cauldron is hanging from the ceiling, but hangs at the level of the upper floor. The grate goes from the upper floor to the base of the cauldron.

Two imp-like creatures sit up from their bath in the boiling water of the cauldron. The screech in glee at the intruders and both lob a handful of the boiling goo they are in at Galandaro and Wembly.

Initiative!
If you beat 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 also take an action.
R critter: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 9 - 4 = 7, splort: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5 v Wembly's touch.
G critter: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 9 - 4 = 9, splort: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5 v Galandaro's FF touch.

R1
Impish-stitched things (17)

Init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Dorobo takes action as he is the first to act against the impish things.

Dorobo Vs Red: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

[dice=Init]1d20+5

Dorobo takes action as he is the first to act against the impish things.

[dice=Dorobo Vs Red]1d20+11
[dice=Damage]1d6

what (attack?) is this?

Round 1, he moves into the red boarders for and attacks.

Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

"Are they really using that stuff as a bath?'
Liana runs up to the creatures ready to attack.

Oops, you can post action even if you are after them. Liana, you don't have to ready, you can take your action.

Arrr post got et!

Dorobo steps up to the first stitched-imp in its boiling conconction but his blade misses the creature. The creature responds with claws and fangs, though none of them manage to get the graceful rogue.

R1
Dorobo (24): closes & misses R
Imp R (17): misses Dorobo (dice got et in the lost post, you will just have to trust me that he did not beet a 21. :)
Imp G (17): lobbed blood at wembly
Liana (15): moved standard?

Wembly, Galandaro, Valor <-- here now (even if they are before)

Valor makes a hasty return to his companions, ending just at the edge of the platform.

Galandaro will cast Bulls Strength on the Oread cavalier...

I needed a double move to get close enough to do anything.

Galandaro will cast Bulls Strength on the Oread cavalier...

Oh, wow! Thanks!

The pathfinders gather around Dorobo and the cauldron, casting magic and becoming more menacing.

Wembly (from R1) & Dorobo have an action.

R2
Dorobo (24): <-- here now
Imp R (17):
Imp G (17):
Liana (15):
Galandaro (14):
Valor (14):
Wembly (14):

oh I thought wembly cast a spell and moved for his round 1 and 2 actions.

Wembly enters the room atop Whiskers.

"Let's speed this up a bit."

Casting haste on the party.

Dorobo swings with duel weapons at the red.
attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

The rogue swings with a left and a right and manages to cut the creature once. The creature strikes back swiping claws and snapping with teeth filled jaw before stepping back farther into the boiling cauldron.

The second creature lobs another boiling mess, this time at the oread. Then it takes to the air.

R v. Dorobo claw 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9, slice: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 plus fire: 1d6 ⇒ 1
claw 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21, slice: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 plus fire: 1d6 ⇒ 1
bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25, snap: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 plus fire: 1d6 ⇒ 1

G v. Valor (touch) boiling goo: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 fire: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6

Party is up. Dorobo should post his R3 action after a few people get their R2 posted. EDIT: that's a lot of ones! :)

Seeing as he can no longer reach the foe, Dorobo will fall back and let those with reach get in. he moves to the stairs, getting out of line of sight.

Wembly will dismiss Whiskers and draw his crossbow.

Fare thee well friend Whiskers. I will call you when it is safer for your return

Galandaro expends an arcane point to shoot a missile of ice at the red foe ...
Ranged ATK vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 = 15...DMG: 2d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4, 6) + 2 + 1 = 13

Realizing everyone is out of reach Liana smiles with glee.
Liana tosses a bomb at Red.

Bomb: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Damage: 2d20 + 4 ⇒ (15, 6) + 4 = 25

Those dice really hate me today!

make sure to add +1 from haste and extra attack if applies.

Valor delays until one of the creatures comes within striking distance.

"Come back 'ere where we can smack ya!"

Realizing everyone is out of reach Liana smiles with glee.

Liana tosses a bomb at Red.
Those dice really hate me today!

I don't know. 25 damage on a bomb is pretty dang nice ;)

The fire has no effect on the creature. It flies in to strike at the oread. It flies in and strikes so swiftly he is unable to respond and it reels back into the air and out of reach.

The second creature steps forward and also slices with its claws at the oread. It is too close to freely flee however and keeps clawing at the cavalier.

R v. Valor spring attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18, dmg: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 plus fire: 1d6 ⇒ 5

G v. Valor claw 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12, dmg: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 plus fire: 1d6 ⇒ 1. claw 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21, dmg: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4plus fire: 1d6 ⇒ 1. bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27, dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5plus fire: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Party is up.

Valor seems largely unfazed by the burning bite.

"Atta boy, right where I can see ya."

Primary Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 11 + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Hasted Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 11 + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Iterative: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 1 = 22
Damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

The battle rises to a raging confrontation, countered by a momentary the stillness in the action. Some of the skittish vermin begin lapping at the bloody concoction as it cools.

R3
Dorobo (24): moved to stairs
Imp R (17): spring attacks Valor
Imp G (17): full attacks Valor
Liana (15): <-- here now
Galandaro (14): <-- here now
Valor (14): EDIT: attacked while I was typing :) double Nat 1! :(
Wembly (14): <-- here now

Galandaro expends another arcane point to shoot a missile of ice at the red foe ...
Ranged ATK vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12...DMG: 2d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6, 6) + 2 + 1 = 15...and then takes his longbow out...

Wembly figures he has seen enough of the flying one and summons a jumbo celestial dire bat to swoop in and take a bite.

"Get him big guy!"

bite,smite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 for dmg: 1d8 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 4 = 15

Not sure which one of the baddies is flying, so putting the bat where it can bite either

Edit: I forgot to add augmented: Bat:HP30/AC14

Liana drinks a strange potions and begins to grow. She then drinks another concoction.
Enlarge exilir followed by my mutigen.

A dart of cold flies passed the flying creature. Then a holy tooth, from the mouth of a celestial bat, tears into the creature.

Liana: aren't those standard actions? did I miss something that quickens one of them?

Dorobo is up to start R4.

For future use:

Linguistics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

OR

Profession (merchant): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

for future use .
Kn:local: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Kn:planes: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Prof Architect : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

They are both Standard actions I was just listing them out. I know I will be standing their for a little while.

The flying creature attempts to bite the bat back, while the one in the cauldron continues attacking the oread.

R v. batbite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16, dmg: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 plus fire: 1d6 ⇒ 2. The strain proves too much on the wounded creature and it falls to floor.

G v. Valor claw 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10, dmg: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4, plus fire: 1d6 ⇒ 3. claw 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11, dmg: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 plus fire: 1d6 ⇒ 4. bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22, dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3, plus fire: 1d6 ⇒ 3

R was staggered after the smoting bite. Party is up.

Seeing the flying foe crumble, the bat will try to bite the other creature attack the other enemy attacking Valor.

"Good job, squeekums!

bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 for dmg: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

no smite for this one

Valor begins humming a Dwarven mining dirge... Something about "second verse... same as the first..."

Primary Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Hasted Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 11 + 1 = 28
Damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Iterative: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Though the heavenly bat misses the demonic creature, Valor doesn't and his hastened blades sings as it cuts up the creature. Its pieces fall into the cauldron like chunks of beefy stew.

Combat is over. Perception checks & any other actions you want to perform please.

Lol now I am a very large very strange looking Alchemist with nothing to fight

"Good job Valor. While we still have the extra muscle, maybe we try the doors? Unless people need healing. Squeekums will be around for alittle while."

Galandaro spends a few moments looking over the room for something they may have missed...
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

"Is everyone alright? Is anyone injured?"

Galandaro studies several shelves along the eastern wall and finds they hold a small fortune in esoteric and valuable reagents.

Valor has been wounded.

The two eastern doors lead to what appears to be an office and after efficiently checking them both the party is free to enter. Maps of varying sizes drawn on paper, papyrus, and parchment of dozens of styles cover the walls of this chamber. Most of these bear sketched annotations of some form or another, and bare, rectangular spaces in the cartographic wallpaper attest to maps that have been hastily removed. An enormous parchment map of the Worldwound dominates the east wall above a solidly built wooden desk covered in a haphazard array of books and papers. Scores of charcoal symbols and indicators dot this map, pointing out sites of interest that are named less often than not. A hand-sized statue of a fiend stands on top of the desk.

"That's my people," Valor says and Galandaro & Liana agree that the notes on the maps correspond to sites of dwarven history.

Liana quickly identifies the statue as a glabazru, a powerful demon who specializes in trickery and lies.

The scrolls, notes, letters, ledgers and books however contain the true treasure the Pathfinders seek. Thurl’s books and notes are written in a mix of Abyssal, Common, and Dwarven, and cataloging them in any meaningful way requires ten minutes of reading.

Fill in any specifics you might like to do in this room, it is minimum of ten minutes. :)

The party soon turns up a folio entitled The Grimoire of the Beast, which contains detailed instructions regarding the worship of Baphomet—recognizable as the demon lord of beasts, mazes, and minotaurs. The shrine on the level above, was to Baphomet. Notes stuck in the book’s pages suggest Thurl studied this text in depth, and the researchers note that one section details dozens of hand signs, secret handshakes, and other body language that believers might use to signal to one another their true allegiance. The notes regularly reference someone named Karsos, whom Thurl describes as one might a mentor.

Among Thurl's desk is a magical scroll and two bags of dust that detect as magical. Perhaps the most interesting single thing is a note. (see handout on the map)

Bonus for speaking any of hose languages, so several folks made that check :)

Upon seeing the statue of the glabazru and the abyssal writing, Galandaro spits on the ground in disgust.

Liana prepares to enter the next room.
mutigen last for 1 hour.

Valor hands a pearlescent wand labeled "curative magic" (cure light wounds) to Liana.

3 charges off the wand: 5 + 5 + 5 = 15

Liana quickly hits Valor with his wand the his wounds vanish.
