PFS PbP: Fortress of the Nail & Sniper in the Deep (Inactive)

Game Master Hawkeye127

Oloch shrugs at the Jagers motion, and as wuietly as he can, he sets his sword against the wall as he draws his bow.
Aiming for the man, he notches an arrow and calls out "Freeze where you are! Stand up slowly with your hinds in the air or we will kill you where you stand!"
Intimidate: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24

Vordrek grunts at his allies' weapons. Against the man, perhaps. Against the ghost, unlikely. He searches his spell repertoire for anything that might be useful.

Ok, I'm back.
The man looks up with a start as Oloch calls out to him. However, that look of surprise quickly turns into one of hatred as the man shouts through gritted teeth "No, I'm so close! You'll not take this from me. Vaydren, attack!"
Initiative!
Oloch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Celie: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Vordrek: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Jager: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Dargo: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Undead: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
As the young man begins to stand, Oloch fires his arrow, hitting him squarely in the shoulder.
Celie, Vordrek, and Jager are up!

Dargo: 11
Ghost: 0

Jager fires twice in quick order at the man.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18 Jager spends a grit to add to damage.

Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 6 + (5, 6) = 22

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 spending another grit.

Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + (2, 2) = 12

All vs touch

Celie hexes Jager with Fortune and stays out of the fighters way.

I'd be after the ghost, not before.

Celie do you cackle?

Dargo barely has time to reach for the arrow in his shoulder before he is hit twice more in the hip and stomach. Gritting his teeth, he sends a wave of negative energy at you, hitting the entire party.
Negative energy damage: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 2) = 9
DC 16 will save for half damage

The ghost, bending to Dargo's will, seems to disappear into thin air only to reappear right next to Oloch. With a silent scream, it slashes at the half-orc with it's bare hand.
Attack vs. Oloch (touch attack): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Damage: 6d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 5, 1, 2, 3) = 19
DC 17 fort save for half damage
It's incorporeal hand passes through Oloch body, leaving no physical wound. However, The creature's touch cause Oloch to feel as though his very life is being drained from his body, as though years are being stripped off his lifespan in a matter of seconds.
The party is up!

Dargo: 45
Ghost: 0

Will save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 4 dmg
Fort save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 19 dmg
crap!

Oloch manages to steel himself as the wave of negative energy rolls over him, but when the ghost sinks its spectral hand through his chest Oloch almost drops. "BY THE GODS!!! YE FOUL BEASTS WILL FALL HERE THIS DAY!!!!" he bellows.

Dropping his bow with the one hand, he picks up his greatsword from where it rested against the hull for just this situation. Oloch brings it sweeping across in front of him at the ghost, his cries to Gorumn causing his sword to answer in a billowing sheath of flames.

+2 greatsword: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
Damage: 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (3, 5) + 11 = 19
Flaming: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Fortune Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Jager reloads and fire quickly at the same target.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Fortune Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26 Spend last grit

Fortune Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 6 + (6, 2) = 22

Its confusing but thank goodness for fortune...

i will next round.

Oloch quickly responds the the ghost's attack in kind, making a small tear in it's form.
Jager fires two more shots at dargo. The first hits the young man's chest, knocking him back a step. The second bullet passes through his eye and out the back of his skull, putting him down for good.

Dargo: 74
Ghost: 10
Celie and Vordrek are up!

Vordrek aims his pointer finger at the ghost and speaks a short chant. A jet of flame bursts from his fingertip.

Scorching Ray (touch): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 6, 2) = 15

Celine hexes Oloch with fortune and cackles

Celie and Vordrek both begin casting, though Vordrek's spell goes wide and misses the ghost. Undettered, the spirit continues it's attack against Oloch.
Attack vs. Oloch: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Damage: 6d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 6, 2, 2, 4) = 21
DC 17 fort. save for half.
The ghost just barely touches the warpriest's arm, but its enough to draw on his life force once more.

The party is up!

Fine, Vordrek thinks with a growl. We'll do this the more old-fashioned way. He waves his hands and chants again. A glowing staff of force materializes near the ghost, and swings itself at the apparition's head.

Spiritual Weapon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

-Posted with Wayfinder

Jager shoots the ghost twice.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Attack Fortune: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Attack Fortune: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

My gun is magical so they do half damage.

Fort save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Even the graze of the spooks finger was enough to send Oloch reeling this time. Crying out for his gods, Oloch takes another swing at the thing.
Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35
Damage: 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (6, 6) + 11 = 23
Fire dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Edit: I missed the fact that Celie cast Fortune on me, so I am using it to reroll my Fort save
Fort Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 Nope. Doesn't matter. Hope all this damage kicks its ass soon!

Though Oloch's sword and Vordrek's staff tear deeply at the ghosts form, the creature seems not to care. Jager's bullets shoot right through the creature's head, causing it to notice him for the first time. It takes a step toward the teifling and reaches out with it's arm.
Touch attack vs. Jager: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
However, Jager sees the attack coming and is able to dodge out of the way.

Dargo: 74
Ghost: 40
The party is up! Celie may take a double action.

Celine hexes the ghost with misfortune 17 will and will cackle extending each curse an extra round.

Second action, evil eye and cackle.

Jager steps back and fires again.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25 Jager uses the grit he got back for felling the cleric.

Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + (4, 1) = 15

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Every bit counts. Vordrek fires a missile of force as his ghostly weapon continues its assault.

Force missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Spiritual Weapon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

As a reminder, since spiritual weapon is a force effect it deals full damage to incorporeals instead of half.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Vordrek's magic and Jager's shots are enough to re-kill the spirit. With a silent scream, the ghost fades into nothingness.
Combat Over!
Inspecting the chest near Dargo, you find that it's locked. However, Oloch is able to pull the door right off it's hinges (by taking 20) to reveal The Sniper. After securing the relic, you return topside and make your way back to the Pathfinder Lodge, where a very pleased Venture Captain Hestram greets you.
"Good work, team. We'll get this back to the Erastil church and have a group head out to the cave to collect Airk's remains. For now, though, you've earned some R&R. Go unwind and get yourselves cleaned up."
The End.

Yay! I like the add of the end there that's funny.

Very nice. Good game guys!

Discuss here.

Dit.... I mean dot

Since we're going to be throwing these titles around quite a bit, I thought that I'd give you guys a quick reference guide on Hellknight ranking.
Lictor: The general of a Hellknight order.
Vicarius: A spell-casting leader of a Hellknight order (rarely used).
Master/Mistress of Blades: A colonel of a Hellknight order, equal in rank to a paravicar.
Paravicar: A leader of a Hellknight order's signifiers, equal in rank to a master of blades.
Paralictor: A high-ranking Hellknight officer, similiar in rank to a major.
Maralictor: A mid-level Hellknight officer, similar in rank to a lieutenant. Maralictors with titular concerns or duties- such as arms-maralictor, field-maralictor, or gate-maralictor- are of lesser rank.
Signifer: A Hellknight spellcaster.
Hellknight: A rank-and-file soldier in a Hellknight order.
Armiger: A Hellknight in training of a Hellknight squire.

..... Okay... I just hope i don't need that 20 later in the game.

Since we're getting close to the end, I would appreciate it if everyone could PM me their email address for the purpose of sending out chronicle sheets.

You can either give it to me in person or shoot me the link here.. its up to you. lol not like you cant find me!

Whoa, it's almost over already?

Blacksmith (Day Job): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Once Celie gets back to civilization, she fixes up everyone weapons and earns a little cash from the locals.

Good idea.

Day Job (Heal, with Temple vanity): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

Whoa, it's almost over already?

Yep, just about. The game was banking that you wouldn't obtain all the signatures and would be forced to do some extra stuff but you just zipped right through that. And because we're getting done so quick, I'm contemplating running another PFS mod if anyone's interested. It's nice to have an entire group that posts regularly.

I'd like that. Could I be so bold as to request Valley of Veiled Flame? I'm hoping to play it with this character.

Day Job (Sleight of Hand): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22

ah what the hell. depending on the tier I am in. I just need a bit of time.. every character that I have free right now needs to be leveled up. I have a halfling rogue/2, elven wizard/2, or an elven hunter/2. Awen will still be in his game for a while.. he will be lvl 4 and will have to be leveled when he finishes. Of course, I can always play another pregen.. I liked being a tank for once.. it felt great to be able to just swat something, and Awen is going to have some really cool crap to buy when I finally get him up to par!

I'd be up for another, either on this guy (who will after this be newly prestiged!) or my level 1 character-formerly-known-as inquisitor (I rebuilt him into a warpriest lol).

Celie and Fox are willing.

I'd like that. Could I be so bold as to request Valley of Veiled Flame? I'm hoping to play it with this character.

[dice=Day Job (Sleight of Hand)]1d20+16

I have no problems taking requests, but I only have access to seasons 0-4 with a handful of scenarios from season 5.

dayjob alchemy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

I will use my folio re-roll
day job alchemy re-roll: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

well carp

Wow that was super quick. Great game all!

124236-3

Day Job Craft Alchemy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Good game! My PFS # is 150618-1. Did you have any ideas about the next game? I would suggest Valley of Veiled Flame for this character.

I only own seasons 0-4 with a handful of season 5. Also, I'm actually getting requests for lower-tier games. Is everyone alright with that?

I have something for almost any tier.

Alright, I just need Celie and Jorin's PFS #. As for the next game, is anyone opposed to The Veteren's Vault?

Unfortunately I've played The Veteran's Vault. I know DevilDoc will be doing a low one soon so I'd be cool with another high-tier.

30504-2
I believe it was in the PM I sent you.
.
I have also done Veteran's Vault.

95823-1 Awen

Alright, then we'll just stay at our current 5-6 tier. Here are some options:
1-31 Sniper in the Deep
1-56 The Jester's Fraud
2-03 Rebel's Ransom
3-10 The Immortal Conundrum
4-03 The Golemworks Incident
Post which ones you haven't played and we'll go from there.

I havent played any of them, and will have to continue to use Oloch here.

I haven't played any of those either.

Any of those are fine with me

-Posted with Wayfinder

Of those i have only played The golem works incident.

How low of a tier? My lowest character is level 4.

PFS# 12395-2
Day Job Smith: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25

How low of a tier? My lowest character is level 4.

[dice=Day Job Smith]1d20+14

Then make another character! Lol! Just kidding, we decided to stay at tier 5-6. Look over the list I gave and tell me which, if any of them, that you've played.

Ok, after looking through the options, I really like Sniper in the Deep. If there are no objections, we'll get started in the next day or so. Chronicle sheets will be coming tonight after I get off work.

I don't think I will be able to join you. Have fun folks!

I don't think I will be able to join you. Have fun folks!

I understand, and I wish you high dice rolls in your future adventures.

Im fine with 5

Either would be fine with me

The only one i haven't played is 1-31 Sniper in the Deep.

Hey Valrar, are you still with us?

Just a heads up..My wife's grandmother is being placed on hospice this coming week and is not expected to last for very long. There will probably be some very severe lapses on my part as we travel and take care of things, but I will at least try to post once a day.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Real life trumps the game. Take care Oloch and if she passes, i hope that she passes in peace and friendship.

I'll second the above statement. Take care and check back when you're ready.

I am gonna be busy for the next day or two, won't be able to post.

Just an FYI, but I'll be on vacation for the next few days and probably won't be able to post. Feel free to make your next move and I'll post as soon as I can.

At least you're excuse is better than mine. Broke my computer monitor.

Good game, everybody. Go ahead and give me your day job checks and I'll have chronicle sheets out before Thursday.

Sweet, thanks GM!
