(PFS/PBP/Roll20) Before the Dawn - Part 2: Rescue at Azlant Ridge (Inactive)

Game Master Amsheagar

Eryndir follows his "employers".

"I never thought I'd ever wish I were back in Irrisen," he mutters to himself.

Eloisa removes 10 gp from the pouch at her hip then plunges forward into the crowd. Intent on making a hefty bet on the crustacean and see if she can gather information from one of the bookies as to which one of the ladies is Lura.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Sorry all, i have become very busy at this time of year. I'll have an update ready for you by the days end.

Give me Perceptions checks really quick. Eloisa, what are you saying with that diplomacy (general is okay.)

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Thael looks around the room with perceptive eyes.

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Update coming in 12 hours.

With your combined Perceptions, you are able to spot Lura Ichon. As you watch her, you notice that there are two of her, one is a little bit bigger, but they both look the same.

The larger of the two Lura's points at you. The smaller of the two nods her head. The larger of the two steps in-between your group and the smaller Lura.

I'm not entirely sure they are hostile, but I suppose I should assume they are if we are rolling initiative. I'll try something non-lethal for starters...

Thael casts a simple cantrip to confuse his foe. cast daze, DC 15 Will save.

Not wanting to shoot first in a crowded establishment, Eryndir senses the possibility of conflict, but tries to appear non-threatening.

Delay.

Big Lura faces down the little mage as he casts his spell.
will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 She surcomes the the spell and is dazed.

Little Luna vanishes. You are now in combat.

"Well, I guess we were kind of an obvious group," Eryndir mutters to nobody in particular, before shouting out, "Everybody down!" and unleashing 2 arrows at the dazed bodyguard. Coming out of delay.

Flurry: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Flurry: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Eryndir's first arrow flies high, more to encourage the other patrons to get down and stay out of the way, while his second arrow sinks deep into the tough's right shoulder.

Moving up, then firing into a crowd. Since the place is packed, you would take a -4 to ranged attacks. Since the Big Lura was flat-footed because of the daze, her AC went down. But, because of the crowd, you missed.

Within the red outline, it is difficult terrain. Movement speed is reduced.

"When in doubt." Tyriel notes with a shrug as he watches the arrows fly through the crowd.

Lifting his hand, he fired forth a ray of flame toward Big Lura.

Ray of Fire (RTA): 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 1 = 21
Fire Dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Keeping an eye on Amuket in the crowd Eloisa draws her longsword. She begins to sing to inspire courage in her allies in the difficult battle ahead.

15 rounds remaining

Moving on.

The attacks hit, the one with the heat not doing the amount of damage that you thought it should.

The big woman raises her head in anger. Looks at the little spell caster that just hit her with a beam of light. and she charges at him. Luckly for you, she has to double move to get into range of you, or you would be attacked.

Taking a small jump back, five foot step Tyriel flipped his hand outward casting a Daze DC 13 will Spell at the woman who had just charged him. Whoa! he barked bracing himself. "That one needs more arrows in her!"

the crowd is considered difficult terrain... It's written in the scenario that it is... so you can't take a 5ft step... you could try to cast defensively.

Woops, apologies.
Taking a stance to avoid being hit, Tyriel flings a Daze spell at his target to further delay her. Cast Defensively: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 But can't keep his focus well enough with the people moving about.

Thael again casts daze at the larger woman in the hopes it will assist his companions in dealing with her.

DC 15 Will

Sorry for slow posting...holidays were busier than anticipated. I should be back to at least 1/day.

concentration check DC 15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Since the crowd seems to be too much for even Precise Shot to work, Eryndir stops firing arrows before he hurts a patron, and moves up to strike the big woman with his foot.

UAS: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

And he earns himself a nice bruise kicking a table by mistake.

will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 the big woman shrugs off the spell this time.
Eryndir, didn't know you have Precise Shot, next time say something :p. You can redo your action if you want.

Oh! I just figured it was a special condition from the crowd. If he thinks he has a clear enough shot, that will always be his preference.

"I said get down!" he repeats.

His first arrow would still miss, but his second...
Arrow: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8

...also flies too high to hit the crowd, or his target.

Eloisa continues to sing and makes her way through the crowd to take Big Lura's flank and attack.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 + 2 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Critical Confirm: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 2 = 10

bardic performance 14 rounds remaining

Small Lura moves through the crowd, still invisible. She casts a spell.

Eryndir, next time you reach for an arrow, I need a percentage dice. If it's below 50, i need a reflex save, as your arrows have been greased.

DC for reflex is 14, if you fail you don't draw the arrow.

Big Lura on the other hand, Slams into Tyriel, then turns around and slams into Elosia.

Attack on Tyriel: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 81d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Attack on Elosia: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 131d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Both attacks (i assume) missed their targets. The crowd at this point is trying to move out of the way, but are unable to budge too much.

Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

And another...
1d100 ⇒ 21
Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

"What the-?" he says as his hands come away covered in grease.

Cast Defensively: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 Tyriel braces himself, watching her movement's to better avoid bein ghit as he points a finger toward Big Lura, a ray a fire shooting off.

Ray of Fire RTT: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Eloisa continues to sing and hacks away at big Lura but her swing goes wide.
attack: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

13 rounds of bardic performance remaining

Thael continues his efforts to disrupt the large woman's actions with dazzling spell effects.

Don't really have a great spell to use here, so going to continue with Daze, DC 15 Will save.

Except that once you use daze on a person, they are immune to it for awhile.

You can see that Big Lura has taken a good amount of damage.

I have heard from Ivan, he's been busy with work.

First round action from Ivan. He saw the small Lura cast a spell. She casts "Detect Magic" and has been concentrating on it for two rounds.

Sorry, didn't see daze could only work once. My replacement action would be to fire acid, which misses.

acid splash: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 2 - 4 = 21d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

well that didn't work

Eloisa, give me a Perception check of 23 or better.

The invisible small Lura moves around the crowd, casting another spell to help her big doppelganger.

Big Lura Slams her body into the little archer
attack 1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 141d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Then turns and slams her body into the bard
attack 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 191d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
missing both time.

Ivan shouts out. "She is beside the summoned creature. Opposite side from you Eloisa."

The crowd has parted, leaving a 10 foot circle around the main fighting group.

Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Tyriel jumps back a bit five foot step thrusting an open palm outward. A 15 foot cone of flame spreads out.

Burning Hands Ref DC: 14 for half. fire Fire Damage 15 foot cone: 2d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2) + 4 + 1 = 11

"Let me kindly remind you the difference between resistance and immunity!"

Reflex save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
The fire washes over the Big Lura, but it doesn't do all of what you thought it would do. She does take damage, but just over half.

Ivan shouts at Tyriel, "The other side you flame headed magic thrower." When making the cones for attacks, use the Polygon/Line tool. Then you can make shapes like i do.

"Enough of this!" Thael yells as he moves forward and casts a spell at the area indicated by Ivan.

Casting color spray, DC 16 Will

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

... I feel sorry for someone. He was just standing there doing nothing.

"Oh, for pete sake!" Ivan shouts out. He moves up into reach of the invisible Lura. He swings his hammer. Highs hit, lows miss. chance: 1d100 ⇒ 46

Eryndir sends two more arrows at Big Lura.

Arrow: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Arrow: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

Eryndir, the grease last for the rest of this fight. Don't worry about it this time, but next time don't forget the 50/50

1d100 ⇒ 10
Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
1d100 ⇒ 12

I guess that arrow doesn't happen.

next time, don't worry about it this time.

Eloisa takes a 5 foot step away from Big Lura to gain the space she needs to cast her spell unmolested. The song that she has been preforming to inspire courage in her allies during battle stops abruptly mid verse. The pause is only momentary for when she opens her mouth again there is an ear piercing note that burst creating razor sharp crystalline shards to fly through the air in a 15 foot cone

Cord of Shards - DC 15 Reflex negates

damage - Big Lura: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8
damage - Little Lura: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8

Only reason i stopped Ivan there was the AoO and he has reach...

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
I am amazed at the luck Little Lura is having...
Little Lura casts Daze on Elosia. DC is 12

Little Lura appears to the back right side of her bigger counter part.
She slams her body into Ivan first then slams it into Eryndir.
Attack 1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 151d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Attack 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 141d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Missing both times.

Here i am looking at the areas of the spells... Little Lura was out side each one as you casts them... she is lucky...

Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Shrugging off the effects of the daze spell Eloisa turns her attentions toward Little Lura.

"Your luck has officially run out lady!"

Thael frowns as his spell obviously missed her.

"Let's see how you like a taste of your own medicine," he says as he casts daze at her.

DC 15 Will, I have only cast it on Big Lura, so should work on her.

Sliding over a bit to get a better view of the smaller Lura, Tyriel fires another ray of fire at the new, hopefully less resistant target

Ray of Fire RTA: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Fire Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Tyriel, i moved you back because you were stepping into a room through a wall. I've turned on fog of war so that the walls are easier to see now. Feel free to adjust your placement if you like.

Will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Little Lura barely shakes off the effects of the spell. "You are not that dazzling that i would be effected by your little spell." she taunts. The crowd of onlookers laugh and start placing bets. while Someone cries by the bar, after being blinded by a spell.
