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

Game Master Baerlie

Can Kargen retcon his action to shooting her? I'll take the roll in my first spoiler if possible. -4 to hit for soft cover and +2 to hit for Inspire Courage. +2 to Damage.

Kargen's arrow hits the half-elf in the back and she drops right in front of the half open door. Shamak attacks the closest guardian with his falchion, but misses. Fenrik's attack hits and leaves a big dent in the guardian. Davina casts a spell.

still missing Tytus' and Oriandor's round 2 turns and a reflex save from Tytus

Oriandor

Oriandor moves next to the woman and closes the door, hoping that the guards will at least not engage immediately. "Smash those things and let's get out of here!", he whispers.

a bit under the eather so i am posting now for fenriks turn
Fenrik strikes again at his foe taking a 5ft step to its flank...
ADS+Studied: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 2 = 18..DMG: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12

if the others flee then Fenrik will not attack and flee as well

Drinking his extract Tytus prepares for combat.
Str +4Move close to get in reach for his weapon.

Reflex Tytus: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 only 6 fire damage for Tytus (5 for resistance already removed)

Fenrik's strike hits the guardian with his sword while Tytus drinks another extract and moves closer to one of the guardians.

The guardian in front of Shamak attacks once more, using its fists to slam at the half-orc, but both attempts miss.
Slam left: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Slam right: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Kargen steps back from the guardian, raising his bow again and peppering the thing with arrows. They burst into a divine light as they streak towards it.

Kargen shoots two arrows at the guardian with the red eyes. One arrow hits and the construct finally stops to move.

Oriandor

Oriandor sighs, pulling out his dagger as he tries to move behind the construct. He calls out to Shamak, "Step to your north!", so he can get into prime position to deal some damage.

Move Action Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
Swift action to use an arcane point to make the dagger +1

Ready action for when Shamak flanks to defensively cast shocking grasp.

Electrical damage on hit: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 3, 5, 5) = 16

Fenrik takes a step to close the gap with the second construct and swings...

ADS1+Studied: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 2 = 22..DMG: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12
ADS2+Studied: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 2 = 23..DMG: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11

reminder Davina is on a cruise, bot or delay her action

Moving a step aside Tytus takes a moment to study his opponent before swinging his weapon.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 331d10 + 10 + 3 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 21 21 Adamantine

Shamak steps to the right and tries to hit the golem too, maintaining his performance.

+1 Cold Iron Falchion Power Attack, Rage, IC, flank: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 29
for Slashing (Magical/Cold Iron), Rage, IC: 2d4 + 13 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2) + 13 + 1 + 3 = 21

Shamak, can I have you go the other direction; I need you to flank with me for sneak attack goodness :)

Oh, with great pleasure, sneaky friend :) Sorry, I read your post too quickly.

No worries! I appreciate it :) You still get your flank awesomeness for a good hit, and between that, my attack, Tytus' power blow, Fenrik's power blow... maybe?

By the way, did you count my inspire courage in your attack?

I did not! +2 to hit and damage!

-Posted with Wayfinder

Oriandor strikes the guardian with electricity. Fenrik and Tytus also hit the construct causing a lot of damage to it's hull. Shamak's rage attack finally dispatches the strange machine.

combat over

Do you want to exit through the front door or the workyard?

"Grab her and let's get out of here!" Kargen points to the woman who tried to get away. He looks down through the workyard to see what kind of attention they've drawn.

Ideally the workyard.

"Agreed! We should be already back and report!"

Shamak deflates quickly from his rage and nods profusely.

"To the back indeed."

"Is everyone accounted for? Then lets go before more show up." Fenrik says to the others and heads for the exit.

You attempt to leave the area through the workyard. The guards on duty left the yard to gather and search the building, but once you are about to leave you see a man with two guards approaching the gate.

The gaunt, fashionably dressed Taldan quivers with outrage as he approaches. His clothes are in disarray, but he moves with surety. The two followers accompanying him half draw their weapons but a gesture from the man stops them. "How dare you hooligans trespass here? Are you fools or simply new to Magnimar? I assure you, you’ll be coming to know the Hells quite well. Explain yourselves before I see your families arrested as conspirators in this vandalism as well."

No, you did not do something wrong, this is just how the scenario goes now matter which exit you had taken.

"Stand aside. I'm a Corporal in the Eagle Knights. We have evidence that someone here was stealing relics and even abducted a man, possibly to sell him as a slave. If you attempt to stop us, you'll be aiding these criminals and slavers."

Intimidate: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Shamak grinds his teeth and stands as tall and menacing as he can ever be and grunts back, displaying his tattoo on his right arm, metallic wings burning, the unholy symbol of his "leader", Uruskreil.

"Be gone, human! Your stench sickens my senses. It shall be a pleasure to spill your entrails on the walls of this pitiful house if you choose to stay! Flee for your LIFE!"

Shamak punctuates his sentence by spitting at the feet of the man and baring his teeth as a wild animal would do.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 OWWW!

yeah I don't think those rolls need an assist but Fenrik can auto for the Aid

The man prepares to depart, now that he is flustered. that's Sloan, btw.

Kargen suddenly realizes who the man is. "Maiveer Sloan. Well, I look forward to seeing you utterly destroyed. We will expose your actions here for the whole city to see. The Lord-Mayor will never be able to defend you after this."

"You'll probably have to flee the city. I wonder if you even have a place to go. Your guards? You'll probably let them take the fall. Or they'll flee with you and leave their families behind to pay the price."

Fenrik is a bit stunned at the callousness of Kargens speech, but smiles as he realizes the man is correct in his prediction.

Shamak bursts out laughing after Kargen's speech.

"Shahahaha! Well said, inquisitor, well said! All right Sloan, now is the time for you to FLEE!"

so I assume you let him get away :P

Sloan shakily mutters to himself while scratching at his hand. "You miscreants turn on each other so easily. When you feel an ally’s blade at your throat, remember I guided it there" Sloan answers.

A moment later the city guard arrives. Sloan demands they arrest you, but Kasadei arrives with her own patrol loyal ot the Council. By that time you see that several fires start throughout Absalom. Kasadei immediately deploys patrols to stop it.

Kasadei asks what evidence the PCs found in Bronze House. Her guards secure the evidence and she demands Sloan’s arrest, but the Lord-Mayor’s guards block her. She pleads with them, but backs down to avoid bloodshed.

"A minor setback, but one I’ll remember. Can you not see the futility of your efforts? A hundred more wheels are in motion. Your only virtue until now was you were too insignificant to squash." Sloan remarks.

Conclusion
You meet Lady Heidmarch in her library. "Our allies in the city are more resolute than ever. Many of Sloan’s agents in the city are in hiding or in the custody of the city guard, under questioning for their connection to the thwarted attack. The lordmayor launched an investigation into Aspis activities and publicly fined Sloan himself. Aspis Consortium profits and influence in Magnimar should drop considerably and reduce Sloan’s stature in the Consortium."

Lady Heidmarch has a look at the Korholm Agenda. She looks particularly pleased. "An informant who told the Society about Sloan’s involvement in the attack on the Grand Lodge also mentioned a Korholm Agenda, but that many in the Society hesitated to believe that a larger organization was involved. With proof of the existence of the Agenda, we can begin tracking down everyone involved in the plot against the Grand Lodge, and send them all the same message you just sent Sloan: no one gets away with theft and murder at the heart of the Pathfinder Society."

The End....

Huh, so the Gameplay did not update for me at all since last Tuesday :/ But at least the mission was a success! Thanks GM and everyone else
