PFS PbP GameDay IV: 7-03 The Bronze House Reprisal (Tier 5-9) (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

Kargen dashes into the room, trying to create space between himself and the others. He ducks behind a pillar. He casts a spell, calling on Old Deadeye's own luck with the bow.

Cast Divine Favor

While Oriandor needs some time to think about his next action delay Kargen dashes into the room and ducks behind a pillar to cast a spell.

Alexei moves around the pillar and shoots an arrow at Shamak.

Oriandor casts a spell, disappearing from view as he darts forward drawing his gold-tinted blade.

Vanish, invisible for 3 rounds.

With his blade out Fenrik rushes for cover behind one of the pillars Kargen is using.

"Careful, he is a quick archer"

Oriandor vanishes in front of your eyes while Fenrik hides behind a pillar.

Melnat, the gnome, mumbles a few words and you see her lifting off into the air.

"Surrender, Melnat, Alexei! We are here on behalf of the city of Magnimar to arrest you for smuggling Thassilonian relics! We already have your friend from outside in hand. He hasn't been harmed and neither will you if you drop your weapons and surrender! We'll hand you over to the guard."

Kargen steps out from behind the pillar with his bow at the ready. He aims at Alexei daring him to disobey the command.

Shamak casts a spell and disappears while moving behind a pillar. Davina also mumbles some arcane words. Kargen demands Alexei to surrender, but the tomb raider only smiles which earns him two arrows in his chest. "No guard will ever catch me!" he shouts back.

Davina

Taking an extract Tytus looks around, his eyes glowing in clear vision to find the invisible.

Keen Senses extract?

While Tytus drinks the extract Alexei moves to the other side of the room and shoots an arrow at Kargen, but the dim light makes it hard to aim and the arrow hits the floor.
Arrow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Fenrik charges forward from his location towards red in a straight line and after 30 feet he bumps into something he did not know or forgot was there but regains his balance and continues the next 30 feet towards red.

Shamak lets you pass without you bumping into him ;)

Yep. Forgot to update the extract list. he has just level 1 extracts but is level 7

not as entertaining that way

Oriandor tries to stealthily approach Alexei from behind, drawing his blade as he does so.

Double move to get into position.

Fenrik charges forward and on the way to Melnat he suddenly feels a hot breath in his neck. The flying gnome moves up and closer to you and casts a spell and a transparent, shimmering wall appears. To Kargen, Tytus and Davina everybody on the other side looks strangely distorted and vice versa.

Alexei blue -22HP
---------
Fenrik
Oriandor (invisible 3R)
---------
Melnat red (flying, 15 ft. in the air)

Shamak makes a wand appear in his hand with a swift gesture from the wrist and uses it on himself. He then walks towards the gnome flying.

CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 Yay!

Davina calls out to her comrade.

Fenrik are you ok?

spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

a leopard appears from the SM III I think it needs a fort save

A leopard appears from the spell and moves forward.

fort save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Davina casts a spell and moves forward to aide her comrades.

shield of faith

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

"It's an illusion! You can pass through, but it may make you sick to your stomach!" Kargen grits his teeth and fights the urge to vomit.

Grabbing another elexier, one of longstrider Tytus is finally ready for battle.

Since I'm at the top of the round, I figure I can go.

Kargen pushes through the illusion, fighting back the overwhelming nausea. Several times, he feels the bile rising in the throat, but the Inquisitor uses his training to force his system into some calmness. Exiting the spell effect, he finds the gnome right in front of him and quickly fires an arrow at him.

Attack (PBS, DA): 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 1 = 13
Damage (PBS, DA): 1d8 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 1 = 12

Tytus grabs another elixier while Shamak heals himself with a wand. Davina finishes her spell and a leopard appears next to her. She immediately casts another spell while the leopard moves forward. I put a token for the leopard on the map, please put it where you want it to move to. Kargen shakes off the strange feeling in his stomach and shoots an arrow at the gnome, but the arrow hits the pillar.

Alexei shoots an arrow at Kargen, but misses.
Arrow vs. Kargen: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Aoo for Oriandor if he wants to take it

Davina
Leopard (nauseated)

Seeing as his foe is flying, Fenrik will spend a move action to study her and sheathe his sword to take out his bow

I'll hold off on the AoO since I want a single spellstrike on the guy!

Oriandor steps to the side and casts a spell behind Alexei, only appears as he uses the flat of his blade to deliver an electrifying shock!

Sneak attack shocking grasp non-lethal: 1d20 + 9 - 4 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 4 + 3 = 23

Electrical damage on hit: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 4, 6, 3) = 22

33 damage total, but 11 is nonlethal. Hopefully that'll just knock the guy out :)

Fenrik studies the flying gnome and sheathes his sword before taking out his bow. Oriandor lands a mighty blow against the tomb raider in front of him and knocks him out.

The gnome hovers to the north and casts a spell at Fenrik. Fenrik suddenly sees a ray of blinding sunlight burning his eyes. DC15 Fortitude or be blinded for 1 round
RTA: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

"It is solid absolutly solid!"

Kargen takes aim at the gnome again, hoping to bring down the magical threat. Convinced the Aspis won't come peacefully, the Hunter prepares to take down his quarry. He unleashes a barrage of arrows, divinely inspired to take down the gnome.

Activate Bane vs. the Gnome

As Fenrik is watching the lil gnome he sees her hands moving in a particular manner and wonders what is she doing when...MY EYES!

FORT: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 and is blinded now...and that sucks

Suddenly, the party hears a loud and low growl echoing in the large room. The song includes lyrics of death and destruction.

Inspire courage, +2 hit/dmg and +1 against charm and fear effects.

Technically, Shamak acts before Kargen, so he must give him the bonuses, if you're ok with this, GM

@Fenrik: Don't complain, I did not use the phantasmal killer spell! Failing this save would suck! ;)
@Tytus: you can move through the wall, the save is against the disturbing vertigo when are inside the effected area.

Fenrik shouts and covers his eyes, but too late. Suddenly he starts to glow like a sunrod. Kargen shoots two arrows at the gnome, the first one misses and after aiming carefully the second one hits the target. even with inspire courage only the reroll hits, AC22

Sure, Davina! Does the leopard do anything?

Tytus will move through the wall, ready to help his fellow pathfinders.

Tytus moves through the wall and the strange pictures he sees makes him sick.

@Oriandor: Nope :)

Sweet!

"Why don't you cool off?", Oriandor quips as he tosses a summoned ball of snow at Melnat.

Thanks!

Fort Save re-roll: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

the leopard is nauseated so it cant really do anything.

Davina starts casting another spell.

While Fenrik almost fumbles his bow Oriandor shoots a snowball at Melnat and hits. Davina starts to cast another spell while the leopard does not feel so good.
Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Melnat mumbles a few words and suddenly she you don't see her any more.

everybody up again

WIL: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Fenrik is able to see again and he squints to see if he can detect his foe..."Where did that rascal go?!" he asks no one in particular as he stands there with a knocked arrow in case she does show up again..

Oriandor is visible now! I lost my invisible when I attacked Alexei; otherwise that'd be another 2d6 of sneak attack goodness on Melnat :P

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"Hmm... not good.", Oriandor hoping the gnome didn't escape.

Bowing over and vomiting on the floor the tiefling feels like someone squeezes his stomach in a brezel.

Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 +2 vs. charms and compulsions

Kargen smirks as he sees Melnat cast the spell. "Oh Melnat..." He raises his bow at the gnome. "I can still see you!" He fires two arrows at the mage.

Attack (RS, PBS, DF, IC): 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 23
Damage (PBS, DF, IC): 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 11

Damage (PBS, DF, IC): 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 14

"You see her....? Where....? Point her out to me...."

Will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Shamak doesn't see the woman but maintains his growling performance. A pretty song about death and destruction.

He casts a spell and ends it with a laugh.

"Ok pathfinders, now is the time to dispel your invisibility!"

And an army of silent pathfinders appear behind Shamak as he also becomes visible again. Shamak unsheathes his falchion and shouts:

"Surrender, Aspis agent. You're alone against our army!" He says, laughing louder and louder.

Casting silent image to make an army of silent pathfinder appear. :D Shamak gambles on the fact that the fight is too noisy (as he screams his inspire courage in the party's ears) for Melnat to notice anything. The army is composed of diverse type of people, half-orcs, humans, elves and everyone is armed. Obviously, no one pops on the square occupied by Tytus and Shamak pays attention to the landscape so as nothing seems amiss.

Kargen shoots two more arrows into the gnome and after Shamak's army appears she suspends her invisibility. "I surrender! Please stop the shooting!" she shouts, bleeding heavily.

combat over, Alexei is unconscious due to the NL damage, Melnat is down to 3HP

Happy it worked :D

"Ok, now tell us what you're about in here. And please answer fast or I'll let Voros here ask you the questions his way..." says the bard, pointing at a particularly stout tiefling (in the army) wielding a greataxe and licking his lips at the mention of him "asking questions".

Intimidate: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Davina moves next to Shamak and stares at the gnome.

"Yes we don't want any unnecessary force. We're here to get information on your activities in town. Cooperate and everything can go smoothly despite our organizations bitter rivalry."
