Game Master StephNyan

I got healed in combat, I'm not at 2/11 hp anymore but at 7/11 :)
Handle animal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Dinuci whistles for Riri to attack but his dry lips cause him to screw the whistle up. Riri now looks with a puzzled look at Dinuci.

Chilly takes the brass knuckles with a thank ye 'arry. Much appreciated. then lobs in with an attack as soon as one is in reach.
Hmmm. Drop dagger,free action, arm with brass knuckles, move action, and then hit. Cool

the ol' one two: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

@Dinuci: Riri already received the order to attack earlier. You don't have to keep rolling Handle Animal, just let her attack now :)

Despite the skeleton's prone state, Chilly misses it with his attack.

Turn progression - round 3:
Skeleton (Blue)
Harry
Skeleton (Red) -1HP
Dinuci 7/11HP
Acher
Chilly
Riri

Riri's up.

Riri is not so confused as previously thought and still attacks.
Atk roll: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6Dmg roll: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Trip attempt: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Harry pokes around in his quiver, looking for the blunt arrows he could have sworn he had bought. You hear some highly creative swearing; it's truly amazing what one can do to Common when using Draconic swear-words and an Aquaan grammar!

Harry studies the space immediately in front of Acher, thinking perhaps he'll jump in there to offer support and assistance when the final skeleton comes forward. He's worried if he jumps in too soon though, he'll merely make this a more difficult combat. For how, he'll sit back here, cursing himself and doing what he can to support the rest of the team.

Riri misses the red skeleton with her bite.

the blue skeleton moves five feet forward, and claws at Riri from around the corner.

Claw, +4 AC Riri: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 2 - 4 = 5 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Claw, +4 AC Riri: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 2 - 4 = 5 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Though very consistent in aim and force, the skeleton's attacks both miss.

Turn progression - round 4:
Skeleton (Blue)
Harry
Skeleton (Red) -1HP, Prone
Dinuci 7/11HP
Acher
Chilly
Riri

Harry's up!

Harry's action was just above (swearing, and getting ready to assist) - didn't know when I'd get to a computer today

Claw, -4 Prone: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 2 - 4 = -1 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Claw, -4 Prone: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 2 - 4 = 11 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

while Harry swears and gets himself ready, the prone skeleton claws at Chilly and Riri. Both attacks miss.

Turn progression - round 4:
Skeleton (Blue)
Harry
Skeleton (Red) -1HP, Prone
Dinuci 7/11HP
Acher
Chilly
Riri

Those in bold are up.

Still exuberant from crumbling the first skeleton, Acher winds up another swing as the next foe advances. Seeing it tripped up by the wolf, she shifts her stance to bring the Earthbreaker crashing down upon the skeleton. "That's it, back to bone for you!"

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Damage (remembering Power attack this time): 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 1) + 9 = 11

Dinuci pushes forward again and attacks the red skeleton.
"Comin' thrugh!"
Moved on the map but not 100% sure if I am able to stand there. If not I will stay in the corner where I was.

Atk roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Dmg roll: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

He whistles for Riri to also attack the skeleton.

Atk roll: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 Dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Trip roll: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Harry thinks that as a dwarf who's never been in a cave, Dinuci should feel like he's getting in touch with his roots in that space!

;-)

Acher's smashes the red skeleton into pieces.

Dinuci, may I assume you'll take the red skeleton's place now Acher's taken it out? 'Cause, in that case, this'll happen:

Dinuci then takes the red skeleton's place, and smashes the blue skeleton into pieces. Riri barks excitedly, and picks up a bone.

Combat over! (If Dinuci agrees with his slight shift in position.)

And then this would happen:

Among the fallen bodies in the cave, you find a note written by the dhampir that details plans to start an army of undead made from the "fish people" who have been frequenting this cave.

You also find a suit of +1 studded leather armor, and a pearl of power (1st-level spell).

Harry spends some time studying the dead dhampir, and looks around the room carefully. I mean, what kind of secret lair doesn't have a secret passage? He's baffled when he doesn't find one, and so asks the others to help him look about. You can hear hmm muttering about "no wonder the fool is dead" and "probably a lousy necromancer too" the whole time.

Perception+burned inspiration: 1d20 + 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (8) + (4) + 5 = 17

"Perhaps we should go back and inform our new gillman friend that some remains of his people, slightly worse the wear from our weapons, can be found in this room?"

I agree!
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Just after the battle Dinuci heals himself for a bit to try and get to full health again. Afterwards he looks around the room and finds the loot.
"There be some good'n stuff 'n here! Might be usin' this nice piece'a jewelry!"
If no one objects Dinuci will grab the pearl of power :)

"Have at it Dinucci." Acher says as she tries to shake off lingering bone fragments from her weapon. "And yeah, I know I'd want to know what happened if I was the old man. This seems like a dead-end path anyway."

You return to Uori, taking the valuable items and note with you, and inform him about the fate of his fellow gillmen.

Uori retrieves the gillmen bones, and places them in the water that surrounds the miniature Absalom. "May the water purify their souls, like it purifies their bones."

"I understand you had no choice but to fight them. It's regrettable it had to happen this way, but you've brought them peace."

Dinuci tries to peer past the others as they are blocking the view of what the gillman is doing. He whispers his confusion to the others.
"What be happenin'? Bónes be needin' te return te earth no' wat'r."

"And I would have mine feed the sky." Acher whispers back to the dwarf. "But if they have their ways, then let him indulge them."

Dinuci says with one eyebrow raised.
"Huh? Uhm. Yea bett'r let em bee."
After the 'ceremony' has finished Dinuci, followed by Riri, will walk to the other side of the cafe to explore that side.
"What be 'n this side 'ere master w'ter?"

Harry hopes no-one notices his note-taking during the ceremony. He was on an ethnology kick a year ago, and it still crops up from time to time. Hmm, very Azlanti in flavor. I guess that's support for their claim to be descended from the last of the Azlants.

Following the ceremony, Harry will recover Susie (his brass knuckles), and then, drawing his bow, follow Dinuci to the other side.

oh well, guess we lost out on the DC 20 perception check! :-)

"There are more creatures there," Uori informs Dinuci, "though I don't know which. I do, however, know none of my kin is likely to be there now."

Figuring there's only one way to figure out what's in the other tunnel, you continue your exploration of the cave system there.

The persistent glow of the bluish fungi dimly lights the way deeper below the Kortos Mounts. The tunnels broaden to reveal a shallow river that bisects an immense tunnel stretching to the north and south. To the east a small passage exits the chamber at a steep incline.

Harry's still busy writing notes on what he believed to be an Azlanti ceremony, when the others notice two kobolds across the shallow river.

Turn progression - round 1:
Chilly
Dinuci
Riri
Acher
Blue kobold
Harry
Red kobold

Those in bold are up.

The shallow river is treated as a shallow bog. It costs 2 squares of movement to move into a square with a shallow bog, and the DC of Acrobatics checks in such a square increases by 2.

Dinuci 'runs' into the river to attack the creatures.
"C'mon Riri at'ck the bastards!"
He yells as he sloshes through the water.

Double move for us both :)
Handle animal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

As the dwarf and his companion move the cross the river, Acher breaks north pulling out her sling. Lining up a shot, she looses a stone at the red kobold.

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Poisoned dart trap: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2
Fort DC 13: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 --> 1 Con damage

Dinuci runs straight through a dart trap, yelling loudly as the dart pokes and poisons him.

Riri runs past Dinuci, ignoring the trap that's no longer activate.

Acher moves north, and attacks a kobold with a stone from her sling. The stone Acher slings, misses her target.

Turn progression - round 1:
Chilly
Dinuci
Riri
Acher
Blue kobold
Harry
Red kobold

Chilly's up.

I'm botting Chilly. It's been almost 2 days since he was up.

Chilly takes a double move forward.

Spear: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

One of the kobolds moves up to Riri. It tries to stab the wolf with its spear, but misses.

Turn progression - round 1:
Chilly
Dinuci 7/11HP, -1 Con, Poisoned
Riri
Acher
Blue kobold
Harry
Red kobold

Harry's up.

Harry ambles forward, finishing up the last of his notes as he goes. "Oh, bother. Zohls! Is this place going to be overrun by nuisances the whole time? Did any of you happen to notice that counterclockwise rotation he did of the bones in the water? Pure Azlanti!"

Looking annoyed, Harry nocks an arrow to his bow and aims at the kobold in red. "Filthy vermin! No better than cockroaches!"

Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Harry's arrow misses the red kobold, and the small creature joins his mate in the attack on Riri. "قتل الوحش رقيق!"

Spear: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

The red kobold's spear also misses Riri.

Turn progression - round 2:
Chilly
Dinuci 7/11HP, -1 Con, Poisoned
Riri
Acher
Blue kobold
Harry
Red kobold

Those in bold are up!

@Dinuci: Roll Fort DC 13 to cure the poison, or take 1 more Con damage.

"All right you scrambling lizards!" Acher yells as she wades through the water towards the far bank. "Let's see how scary you are up close!"

Double-move to cross the river, drawing out her Earthbreaker as she moves.

Harry shouts out in Draconic "Who you calling fluffy, scaly!", and then shouts in common "Watch it - they're targeting Riri, I think.", trailing off a bit at the end, as he realizes almost any of us could be a hairy beast to a kobold.

Dinuci whistles for Riri to attack and does the same himself. Dinuci targets the blue kobold and Riri the red.

ye gods, so many posts. So very sorry for the delay.

Chilly draws both his weapons. He steps forward and strikes.

dagger: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

i on a phone, could someone advance chilly five feet please

As Acher moves closer to the enemies, Harry takes offense to his own fluffiness.

Dinuci hits the blue kobold against its head, but the creature somehow still stands. Riri bites and drags the red kobold to the ground.

Chilly's moves up to the red kobold, but misses his attack the moment the kobold falls prone.

Spear: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19 Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

The blue kobold stabs Riri with its spear. It then points a finger at Harry. "يا هذا! تمانع في الأعمال التجارية الخاصة بك!"

Turn progression - round 3:
Chilly
Dinuci 7/11 HP, -1 Con
Riri 9/13 HP
Acher
Blue kobold -4 HP
Harry
Red kobold -2 HP, Prone

Harry's up.

Harry replies back in Draconic "Watch it! I'm walking here!"

He decides to take a shot at the blue, rude, kobold despite not having precise shot: Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3. With a miss like that, he just shakes his head. Zohls!

I'll be on a job interview the rest of this week - should be able to post once a day still, but may be slower than usual

Best of luck!

Good luck, Harry! ;)

The red kobold realizes it may not be its best bet, but it's not got a lot of choices. It goes total defense, and tries to get up from its prone position. This provokes attacks from Dinuci, Riri and Chilly.

Turn progression - round 4:
Chilly
Dinuci 7/11 HP, -1 Con
Riri 9/13 HP
Acher
Blue kobold -4 HP
Harry
Red kobold -2 HP, Prone

Dinuci, Riri and Chilly may make an AoO versus the red kobold.

Everyone in bold is up. If you aim for the kobold while an AoO would've already killed him, it should be easy enough to redirect the attack to the blue kobold :)

With the kobolds distracted attacking the druid and his pet, Acher takes the opportunity to circle around and smashes at one from the rear.

Moving due east, then south, then back west so as to not provoke an AoO

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (6, 1) + 9 = 16

Chilly strikes at the rising kobold

dagger: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

If he drops, chilly advances to the other kobold.

He attacks in any event, daggers flashing.

dagger: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

dagger: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Dinuci aims to finish off the red kobold, if he is already dead he aims for the blue one. He also whistles for Riri to do the same. Sadly both Dinuci and Riri are a bit distracted by the moving red kobold.
"What be ya doin' mun stay down!"
He yells at the kobold.

The red kobold never gets back on its feet. It never saw Chilly's attack come.

The other kobold goes down in a barrage of attacks. Before it stops breathing, it says one last thing: "تبا لك، منها رقيق!"

Combat over!

Acher lowers her hammer, slightly disappointed the fight ended without it making contact with the enemy. She turns to Dinucci.

"You okay? You've been getting the brunt end of the stick today."

"Meh. Ha' worse b'fore."
He walks over to Riri to pets the wolf on his head.

You may stop him from doing this! :) I enjoyed the thought of some nice tea.
"Aft'r the'ese fightings me think't be th'best time for a c'p a tea."
The dwarf lights a fire and grabs his teapot from his bag. He sits down and hovers with his finger above tea teapot filling it slowly with a trickle of water. He will put on the water and grabs a beautifully carved flute from his bag. He puts it to his mouth but the only noise coming from it is a screeching sound. He waves the flute around, taps it on the ground and tries again. It now produces even more noise.
"This thing be broken. Must've been crushed in me bag. Bu'e tea 's r'dy!"
He will drink his tea and afterwards is ready to leave.

Perform flute: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4
Perform flute: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Acher winces as screeching noises the dwarf apparantly calls 'music' fill the air.

"Yes, what a...shame, that got smashed."

"Still, perhaps I should take the lead this time. Not sure if your buddy would forgive us if we let you drop."

After Dinuci's terrified everyone by reproducing the sound of dying drakes, taking delicate sips from a nice cup of tea in between death shrieks, the party moves forward. Acher takes point this time.

You move through a maze of tight passages that include steep ascents and short climbs as they wind from west to east. As you travel, you can hear the sounds of a distant battle echoing through the caves, intermixed with inspirational tales of famous Pathfinders and the heroic deeds told by a familiar female voice. "And so he defeated the savage animal! And using his tactics, I will defeat you!"

As you head for the sound you hear, you pass through some tight tunnels that range from 2 to 5 feet in width and average about 9 feet in height. The slick floors and steady incline from west to east would make using acrobatics quite hard.

In front of the party, two giant amoebas show up.

Turn progression - round 1:
Dinuci
Riri
Acher
Harry
Red amoeba
Chilly
Blue amoeba

There we go again! A new map's up :)

You feel the effects from Janira's Inspire Courage ability, which will last until I'll mention it stops. Meaning you get a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls.

"Janira!" Acher yells as she hears the halfling's cries echo from ahead. The Shoanti moves to rush forward when a gelatenous creature appears in her path.

"Cor! We don't have time for this!" she says as she charges at the blob. "Janira, hold on. We're coming!"

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damage: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (6, 5) + 10 = 21

Dinuci attacks the southern slime. Cant edit the map at the moment. He whistles for Riri to do the same.

Atk roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Dmg roll: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Handel animal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Riri:
Atk roll: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Dmg roll: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Trip roll: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

-Posted with Wayfinder

One swing from Acher's weapon is all it takes to get rid of one of the slimes.

Dinuci and Riri both attack the other ooze, inflicting quite some damage to it. Riri tries to drag the ooze down, but it's impossible to trip this kind of creature.

Turn progression - round 1:
Dinuci
Riri
Acher
Harry
Red amoeba -12HP
Chilly

Harry's up! :)

Sorry for the long delay - went excellently, now just have to wait

Harry reaches into his pack, and withdraws some alchemists fire. "We can burn it out, if need be. I have FIRE!"

Harry will then take a close look at Dinuci Heal check: 1d20 ⇒ 4. Hmm, dwarves must be amazingly resilient he looks to be in perfect health! I wonder if it's their diet? It certainly can't be their taste in music....

Neat! :)

Harry withdraws a flask of alchemist's fire from his pack.

Slam: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

The remaining giant amoeba slams into Dinuci, but bounces off without doing any damage.

Everyone's up again.

@Harry congrats :)

"Ah'm wonderin' wha these things taste like over a fire!"
Dinuci calls out as he and Riri attack the thing again.
