PFS PbP - Master of the Fallen Fortress (lvl 1) (Inactive)

Game Master Revvy Bitterleaf

@Revvy - Mosi is right Markas was attacking with a warhammer
@Mosi - No need to confirm fumbles in PFS.

Vohnkar Moves into the fray drawing his greatsword on the way. Heeding Fronar's words he attempts to distract the remaining skeleton so that Markus has a better chance of delivering a final blow.

Aid Another Attack roll:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Wow ones are contagious.

Sorry, you are right..I really should pay more attention to reading then to making stuff up in my head...

Markas used his warhammer to greater effected then was precieved until now and the skeleton explodes in a spray of fiery shards.

So before Vonhkar moved next to it, so this explosion should only effect mosi
Fire damage Mosi: 1d6 ⇒ 3
but Mosi just takes the wave of heat that washes over him, basking in it.

Out of combat

As you look around the room you see that the altars still contain their silver altar services,

In addition, a divine scroll rests atop each altar one on the black altar, and another scroll on the white altar.

appraise: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

SO close, lol

"Ooh they look valuable.. I could retire in comfort on the price of these things," Seijiro muses... the thoughts of tens of thousands of gold running through his mind.

"Once again an impressive display by y'all. The way the fire consumed you, yet left you unscathed Mosi, was of particular note. Would anyone object to me taking a look at these scrolls?

Fronar spins around while speaking a few words. Read Magic

"Scio, Didici, Pecto!"

Fronar grabs each scroll and examines them for a few moments, then declares to the party the nature and purpose of each of them. "Ah yes, I can understand these. They are definitely scrolls of...

The one of the black altar is a scroll of shatter
The one on the white altar is a scroll of shield other

After hearing what Fronar has discovered, "Those scrolls sound like they may be of some use Fronar. Definitely something you should keep readily available in case we need it."

Appraise: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Markas walks up to each altar and collects the silver symbols.

"These are definitely valuable, I will hold them for us until we leave this tower. Then we can discuss how to distribute their wealth.

"Perhaps best not to linger around here much longer. We need to keep moving." Pointing at Daniloth, Mosi, and 'Jiro, "Check the doors leading from this room for anything of note and then we will decide our next course of action."

This tower has already crumbled once prior to us coming in here, and I wouldn't want to be around in the event it decides to start coming down again.

Seijiro checks the exit doors for traps and locks.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"the doorways have no traps on them.," he says, quite sure of himself.

Vohnkar moves over with 'Jiro to the south eastern wall. Looking curiously at the the rogue as he examines the area and then proceeds to imform the party the door is not locked. The giant of a man gently puts his hand on his friends shoulder and says quietly There is no door.

That is golden. Sorry I set it up 'Jiro, assuming a door was there like previous floors of the tower

"Vohnkar it appears you're right. I guess our friend's senses failed him a little in this regard. I believe that leaves us the only option of going up the stairs further."

Markas approaches the staircase, "Daniloth reported a door up one level from us now, I say we head there next," as Markas begins climbing the stairs.

Looking at Daniloth, "You said you didn't see or hear anything here so when we are ready I will open it. Vohnkar its probably best you and I enter first."

After taking everything that was on the altars the party finds out there are no doors in this room and follow Markas up to the next floor.

Having arrived there you open the door to see;

Crude bunks line the walls of this room, which is filled with the nauseating stench of troglodytes.

There are 3 troglodytes in this room who get up from their beds when they notice you opening the door and they get their weapons out and ready to use.

Trogs

You forgot Daniloth, he goes before the Trogs as well.
Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Woot just made it!

Vohnkar bursts into the room and sidesteps next to the closest Trog, clearing the way for the rest of the party. Drawing his sword as he moves, he brings the crude blade down on the unprepared creature.
Greatsword w/Power Attack
Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 4 - 1 = 17
Damage: 2d6 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 6) + 6 + 3 = 16
These rolls do not include inspire courage. If Fronar starts it up please at 1 to each roll

Seeing the Trogs arise from their bunks, Markas follows Vohnkar into the room. He moves to the trog opposite the room from Vohnkar and swings his warhammer, aiming to incapacitate the creature in one fell swoop.

Attack Blue Trog: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 - 1 = 8
Damage Blue Trog: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Like Vohnkar, if Fronar starts up Inspire Courage please add 1 to each roll...won't matter. Good damage bad attack.

"I wonder which will be worse, the smell or getting the smell washed off my clothes?"

Fronar starts the usual "pre-game" performance of inspire courage. +1 attack, +1 damage to all for this and the next 2 rounds

don't have access to map from current location (stupid firewalls at work). Please move me if needed to a non melee location in room. thank you.

Seijiro whips out his sling and fires off a bullet at the closest trog that isn't engaged with a party member.

to hit vs ff ac: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 = 15
dmg if hits: 1d4 + 1 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (2) + 1 = 5

dicebot! really??

After everyone waits for Fronar No movement needed to inspire them to even greater heights in combat Vhronar bursts into the room and takes down one of the troglodytes before it even realizes what is happening.

Markas tries to do the same, but is unable to connect to his target hard enough to deal damage.

Seijiro (I assume you didn't move because you mention taking your sling out? ) having to fire his sling bullet through the door opening past Markas is unable to get the correct angle to hit one of the troglodytes in the room

init
Daniloth,Mosi
Troglodytes

Seijiro wouldn't have moved more than a 5' step, as he doesn't have +1 bab, to move and draw as a single action, if that wouldn't give him los or loe, then he wouldn't have fired... if he had to fire through someone (-4 to hit) he would have still taken the shot, but not a second -4 from melee... so I guess he missed... damn dicebot...

Taking a gulp of air Mosi steps to the side of Markas and slashes the troglodyte across the chest.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Threat: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

He holds his breath so he might not be affected by the stench.

Daniloth runs into the room and looses an arrow at one of the two remaining troglodytes. "Erastil fire true," he mutters.

Attack (Blue Troglodyte): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Mosi slashes through the chest of his target slicing the creature in two pieces.

Daniloth then walks into the room and puts an arrow into the remaining troglodyte

The troglodyte moves carefully through the room avoiding getting to close to Markas before he has to (doesn't provoke for moving) while he hits the door with a fist and screaming something before he tries to club Markas over the head
To hit Markas AC: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
To confirm Markas AC: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
With some unbelievable luck the creature is able to hit Markas on the head
Damage Markas: 1d6 ⇒ 3

You guys

Damage trog: 4

Seijiro steps into the room and sighs, seeing as there's no way to get a shot without suffering penalties for combat, and probably cover as well... he puts away his sling and draws his rapier... expecting more trouble since the trog seems to have just alerted who- or what-ever is beyond the next door.

"That hurt a little bit," Markas says before sizing up the lizard for another swing with his hammer.

Power Attack
Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 - 1 + 1 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 = 4

Another bad attack roll

Fronar moves into the room. Points a wand at the trog, and says a few words... wand of hideous laughter

"Cupio, Virtus, Licet"

Hoping to the spell takes hold, Fronar tries a comedic insult to see! "Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!"

dc: 11 will save to negate

Seijiro exchanges his sling for his rapier.

Markas tries to bring to to the troglodyte after getting stung himself but he's still a bit out of focus from the pain he's suffering from and he ends up missing his target.

Fronar tries to make the troglodyte see the punch line of his joke..but then remembers that the troglodyte might not understand him

Will save: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (16) - 2 = 14

The Troglodyte just looks at Fronar in a funny way.

Vohnkar, Daniloth,Mosi, Chimba (Since I haven't seen a post from Chima in a while, going to delay him if he's the last one to post)
Troglodyte

Damage trog: 4

Confidently Mosi looks at the troglodyte and lifts his longsword up high and then tries to cut of his hand, the one holding the club.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

After the failed attack Mosi uses his exceptional agility to try to get around the troglodyte.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Blood from the one trog still dripping from his sword Vohnkar eyes the remaining one. With a roar that sounds like a landslide he charges, his sword hefted high.

Greatsword w/ Power Attack, Charge, Flank
Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 1 + 2 + 2 = 25
Damages: 2d6 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1) + 6 + 3 = 14

Hoping to put an end to the beast, Daniloth looses another arrow.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Mosi is unable to hit the troglodyte with his longsword..but it seems it's a great distraction as he's able to tumble around the troglodyte without it being able to react to the sudden move.

Vonhkar using the distraction caused by Mosi's movement to great effect is able to slice the Troglodyte clean in half.

Going to treath Daniloth's attack as a readied action for now

Just as you are about to sigh in relief and celebrate another victory the door the Troglodyte was knocking on opens and the biggest troglodyte you've seen in this tower so far steps into the room.
Daniloth then fires an arrow at it, but wanting to not hit Markas in the back with his arrow he's unable to hit the Troglodyte at an angle that caused his arrow to sink in between the creatures though scales.
The Troglodyte roars and starts to attack 1V2M3V: 1d3 ⇒ 2 Markas, swinging a club at Marka's head
To hit Markas: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 but the club is harmlessly deflected by Markas's armor as he turns his shoulder into it.

init
You guys
Big Trog

"Well I guess we know who they were alerting now" says Markas after nearly having his head smashed in by the large club.

"Glad that swing missed. Now it's my turn." as Markas readies himself for a swing at the large trog.

Power Attack w/ Warhammer
Attack Big Trog: 1d20 + 4 - 1 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 - 1 + 4 = 21
Damage Big Trog: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6

Ha, that worked well Mosi! Now I'll distract the big guy and you finish him off!

Greatsword w/ Flank
Aid another Attack:1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 = 21
Mosi you now get +2 on your attack from my aid and another +2 since we are flanking. With your +4 that's a total of +8 on your next attack

Seeing the opening in the defense of the big troglodyte Mosi drops his shield and swings his sword with two hands in an attempt to cut the head of his opponent.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Threat: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Daniloth, knowing that he needs line of sight on the troglodyte, attempts to jump onto the bunk on his right and loose another arrow. "The smell is near unbearable," he shouts.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
If the bunk is 3 ft. off of the ground, then I made it. If not, then I'll roll a Reflex.
Reflex: 1d20 ⇒ 13
Depending on how you judge this action, I'll go ahead and roll for attack and damage as well.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Let me know if I posted this correctly and it all makes sense.

Since it doesn't really matter at this point and because the action sounds sorta cool..rollin' with it

As Markas hit's the creature on the side of it's head Vohnkar waves his sword in front of the trogs eyes, distracting it from what is to come.
Mosi uses this opportunity to stick his sword two handed through the trog's chin from below. Mosi's blade emerges from the top of the trog's skull.

At the same time Danoloth jumps on top of one of the beds, hitting the headboard and tipping it over as he continues his move and manages to shoot an arrow right past everyone into the door post next to where the troglodyte's head used to be,..right before it started to slump to the floor and Daniloth hit's the floor as the bed topples over behind him.

Out of combat

The 3 "little" trogs carried a club each. The big one has a club, a javelin strapped to it's back and a key hanging from a piece of string tied around it's neck.

Not much else can be found in this room (other then some blankets and pillows).

Looking through the open door into the room that the big one stepped out of you see;
A brazier of glowing coals sits in the center of this room, its acrid smoke mixing with the ever-present troglodyte stench.
A few knives, pokers, and other metal implements lie atop a rusty iron box nearby.

There's a closed door in the NE corner.

Pulling his sword out of the head of the troglodyte, he wipes the blood of by using the little bit of clothes the troglodyte is wearing. He picks up the shield he dropped and steps into the other room.

Looking around he sees the brazier and decides to push his sword in the coals until it glows red from the heat. Meanwhile thinking to himself. Easy pickings this tower.

"We definitely should take this key," Markas says while removing it from around the trog's neck. As Markas puts the key in his belt pouch, he states "It might only unlock the door we already busted down, but perhaps it has a different use."

Entering the room and noticing the iron bound box, "Perhaps it opens that box if it is locked. Either way we should grab anything that we can use or sell and continue to move."

-Posted with Wayfinder

"Hold on. I think I'll need to draw a diagram of that amazing acrobatic display Daniloth. I'll use these notes as I retell of your amazing exploits to others. Perhaps we should check to see if anything around here is of exceptional make." Fronar cast detect magic with particualar interest in the iron box. Then finishes up some stick figure drawing and dotted lines marking angles of the earlier display.

Seijiro sighs, actually glad he didn't have time to get into the fray, as he's frailer than he likes to admit. He slips into the next room and examines the chest to make sure it's not trapped before Markas tries to open it.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

If the box is trapped, he does his best to disable the trap.

disable: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

"Please do, Fronar," Daniloth says. "It would be humbling to have my name carved into the tablets of history."

The box doesn't seem to be trapped, or locked.
There is a slight glow of magic inside the box.

As Seijiro opens the rusty iron chest you find out it containts :
a suit of masterwork studded leather armor, a masterwork buckler, a masterwork rapier, a shortbow with 15 arrows, two scrolls, a wayfinder (a sort of magical compass that shines with light on command and grants a +2 circumstance bonus on Survival checks to avoid becoming lost), and a climber’s kit.

Seijiro looks with some surprise at all the items in the box, his eyes lighting up at the sight of the rapier. He takes it and tests its balance before looking at the others. "Anyone mind if I use this?"

IF there are no objections, he straps his old rapier to the side of his pack and slips the new one onto his belt/sash.

He also examines the wayfinder with curiosity. New to the Society, he's seen them before but never handled one, so he plays with it a moment, making it shed light with a grin on his face. He holds it up then and asks, "Who wants this little gem?"

"Fronar are you able to determine if the scrolls have anything magical to them?" Markas says upon seeing the contents of the chest.

Looking at 'Jiro, "You can have the rapier as I prefer something with a little more weight to it. The rest of the items should either be used by someone now or we should gather to take with us when we leave the tower."

Markas gathers any unclaimed items and stores them in his backpack. He then looks to 'Jiro, Mosi, and Daniloth. "One of you check the door for traps and for any signs of anything waiting for us on the other side. Once we know it's clear I will lead us into the next room. Vohnkar care to join me up front? Wouldn't want our nimble and less armored allies to be met by an enemy weapon when the door opens."

Moving across the room towards the NE door, Markas positions himself to open the door after being given the go ahead from one of the other party members.

"Just one moment, I'll tell you what these scrolls do."

Fronar waves his hands around and says, "Scio, Didici, Pecto!"

Fronar casts Read Magic

"Interesting, these scrolls appear to be..."

After listening at the door Mosi walks to the chest and says. I like the studded leather, looks better than mine Touching the cut on his head Mosi says. Got hurt fighting that skeleton a while back. Can I get some medical attention?

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

After picking himself up from off the floor, Daniloth follows Mosi to the door and checks for anything unusual.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

"I have heard of wayfinders," Daniloth says. "I am most intrigued by them. Should no one else desire it, then I would find great pleasure in wielding it."

Seijiro hands the wayfinder over to Daniloth after playing with it a few more times... He grins and nods to the ranger. "Yours, then."

As Fronar takes a closer look at both scrolls he's able to find out that one is a scroll of cure moderate wounds and the other one is a scroll of invisibility.

Markas moves to the other door in this room, ready to open it as soon as the rest of the party is finished distributing what they found.

"Funny you should say you need some medical attention Mosi, this scroll is exactly what you need!"

Fronar unrolls the scroll and recites it's contents. Upon finishing the last word, the scroll glows red as if it's on fire and disitigrates into ashes that flicker for a moment, then disappear as the begin to fall to the ground.

Fronar places his hand on Mosi's shoulder, and a wave of positive energy flows throughout Mosi's body.

cure moderat wounds: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 2 = 8

Cure moderate is actually 2d8+3, but seeing how Mosi only had 5 damage that doesn't matter a whole lot

(Let me know when you guys are ready to open the next door)
