PFS Gameday V Emerald Spire Floor 1

Game Master Vahanian 89

Half-melted blocks of green glass lie thick on he floor. A crumbling archway to the north leads into another chamber, while a door to the west leads into the round tower at the southwest corner of the building. To the east, a barricade of rubble and wooden stakes blocks a passage leading into the tower.

Does anyone not have darkvision?

I'm only low-light, but also have a light source

The rest of us have Darkvision? Are we no longer in combat then? As Isobel, Lad and I have made our combat posts...

Jaware indeed has darkvision and a bow at the ready.

So Isobel. Your light source only works in the 5ft directly around you. That is it. The rest of you can see fine. We are in pseudo rounds but everyone give me a perception check.

perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

"Why is it so dark in here? I can't see anything!" Isobel says with trepidation in her voice.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

"I can see at least Isobel. Try spreading your dancing lights out a little, maybe that'll help out."

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

sKrEeK peers between Jaware's legs, ensuring they are protected from attack by the hulking Tiefling.

"Yes yes, sKrEeK can see Isobel, seems as dark as sewer tunnel, sKrEeK can see fine"

perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Goblins don't have darkvision do they?

"Hey, most of us can see fine in here. Do you think you could trust us Isobel? That light might attract more nasty goblinses..."

Isobel frowns. "I'm not sure how much help I'll be without any light..."

Okay, so to be clear here, it seems we are either 1) in an area of magical darkness that we need to move through quickly so I can see or 2) my light source, or a torch, or anything else we could use for light, should illuminate more than 5'. So let's move on and see what's going on.

Skreek hears things to the south, behind the barricade, as well.

Isobel you think this is a magical effect that is limiting your light source.

sKrEeK hushes the group for a moment before pointing to the south, the Ratfolk's voice a whisper in the cavern.

"Voices to the south, yes yes, behind the Barricade. We should move carefully, I can throw a bomb when closer to disperse enemies yes yes."

Once Jaware and Lad start to move on, sKrEeK follows carefully, Crossbow still held ready.

Jaware moves up a few more feet to the wall to the east and peeks around the north side of it.

Jeware sees the goblin from before with his dog, who seems healed, and now another goblin. How would you like to handle this? Or just run in and begin killing?

Jaware shouts in common "Surrender now, your darkness tricks don't work on us."

I am happy to do other things than fight where some people can't see what's going on, will defendmyself if they attack though.

sKrEeK decides to follow the big man's lead and peers out from behind the ugly Tiefling, his crossbow is still out but not pointed at the Goblins. The ratfolk tries to look stern and threatening to the goblins.

"Yes yes, drop weapons and come out quietly, your barricade will burn nicely!"

Isobel tries to see what is going on around her companions, but can barely see right in front of her.

"Yeah, get out now or we'll start throwing all sorts of nasty things at you!

intimidate: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Ready a Ray of Frost.

"You've got until 3! One! Two...!"

They scream something in goblin and fire arrows!

sKrEeK starts as he sees the extra gobin and dog from round the corner as well as those behind the barricades.

"Hmm, I would have suggested different if I knew they were more! Yes Yes!"

Hastily preparing another thrown device, the Ratfolk hurls it at the lead dog, it's fire spreading around the others. Red Dog

Bomb vs Flat Footed Touch, PBS: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9

re-roll, 1 star

Bomb vs Flat Footed Touch, PBS,Star: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 22 for Fire Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9

Red and Blue Goblin and Blue Dog need a DC 14 Reflex save or they take 6 Fire Damage, 3 Fire damage if they pass the save

The goblin dog goes down!
Reflex Red: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Reflex Blue: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Reflex Dog: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

The goblins fire back!

Attack Skreek: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Jaware shouts back to Isabel, "There's a dog right here, can you deal with it?"

Jaware will wait until after Isobel goes firing his bow at the best target.

If the dog is still capable of taking AoOs Jaware will step back and fire at it, otherwise he will hold his ground and fire at the red goblin.

arrowed: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

I still can't see anything, right? If not, I had better delay. I can't think of anything useful I could do without sight.

I thought you could see things within 5ft, which is why I was giving directions. I could be wrong though.

Right, but nothing is within 5' of me, so I can't see them, right?

Does anyone else have a light source? If so you can see the 5ft surrounding them as well.

Dancing Lights should let you illuminate multiple squares, right?

Yeah, dancing lights is 4 orbs of light so you should get to choose 4 squares to illuminate.
Jaware did shout a warning, so one would assume you'd send lights to see the enemy.

Even in the dim light, the goblins can see Isobel's great beauty, and she turns her deadly gaze on the in purple.

Okay, I'll send one light south and one east to see them. Casting Daze, DC 19 Will on the purple goblin.

As written no but sure. The lighting mechanic on this level is bad. very bad.

What are we currently waiting on?

BG 2's go

Sorry everyone Looks like my post from friday got eaten.

The goblins fire at lad!
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 But miss.

Round 1
Skreek
BG

5-foot step into melee with the dog, first hitting it with my rapier and then with Ray of frost, casting defensively.

Rapier: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 - 2 = 15
for damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Ray of frost concentration check: 1d20 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 1 + 4 = 25 vs DC 15.
touch attack vs blue dog: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 2 = 17
for cold damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Not wanting to risk a bite from the foul dog, the Ratfolk scurries into an advantageous position opposite the deformed Tiefling and draws their dagger, swiping at the Goblin Dog in the tattered blue collar.

Dagger vs Blue, Flank: 1d20 + 0 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 0 + 2 = 22 for damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

confirm, flank: 1d20 + 0 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 0 + 2 = 14 for extra damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

So one Non-lethal damage if don't confirm, 1 real damage if I do confirm...

Jaware shouts "Nice shots guys!"

Skreek thats does provoke from the dog.
AoO: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

The goblin dog gets annoyed by the rat folk and tries to bite again!
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 Plus fort save vs disease

Then the 2 goblins fire!

Attack Skreek: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 - 2 = 6
Attack Skreek: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 - 2 = 6

Jaware steps back and fires at the dog.

ranged into melee: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 5 - 4 = 8
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

"Grah, somebody get this dog out of the way."

A 5' step to flanking and a dagger attack against the goblin dog does not provoke. So I don't take any damage. I've also got 17 AC so it would have missed anyway...

Yep the damage is from the dogs actual attack

Isobel targets a different goblin with her daze spell, hoping to keep them from organizing in their ambush.

DC 19 Will, targeting Green

Jeware fires and misses! Will: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5 The green goblin stands there drooling while his friend fires again!

Attack Jeware: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

"Grah! I HATE dogs!" Lad steps into flanking position with sKrEeK.

rapier attack vs the dog: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 - 2 = 8 for damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

shocking grasp concentration: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 vs dc17
touch vs dog: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 - 2 = 4
Reroll: touch vs dog: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 - 2 = 16
For electric damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

fort: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 2 = 18

Giving out a worried squeak as they are bitten, the Ratfolk looks to the plucky Gnome as his saviour, he looks at the Dog to see if it falls to the shock before thinking of his next move.

The dog has taken a lot of bee stings so I think it is down, but I will post two options in case:

Skreek hits the dog again and it bites back! Also your fine

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The archers also fire!

Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 5 - 4 = 7
Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 5 - 4 = 5

How has the dog only taken 4 damage? i have dealt it 3 with a bomb and 2 with dagger attacks at least. Lad has also attacked it a fair few times, most recently 2 damage from shocking grasp, 3 from a ray of frost and one non-lethal from a rapier so thats mor like 10 and one non lethal

Having already cast this spell on two other goblins, Isobel moves to a different target, casting daze on the red goblin.

DC 19 Will save

My apologies for the slow response.

Jaware fires over the scrum and at red.

arrowed: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Sorry i havent been on much this week. I had a family emergence and forgot to take my surface when i left in a rush. Im really sorry!

Also Lad how are you attacking twice? You missed the first attack where does the second come from?

The other goblins fire at Jeware

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Crit confirm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Forgot the save
Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

The Magus class grants spell combat at level 1, which is like two weapon fighting but one is a spell (hence the concentration checks for casting in combat). This is why I've been takin -2 on all my attacks too.

My archetype limits the amount I cam do it, but its only a swift action to turn it on/off, and I am keeping track of the number of rounds I have used up.

The dog should be downed.

Also, daze should be preventing goblin attacks, so you need to make the save before they attack.
