PFS Scenario 5-03: The Hellknight's Feast (Inactive)

Game Master Tarondor

unless someone can grapple her without provoking, or has a way to immobilize Kale, I am not sure what else to try. If the spell had a short duration, we could run away, but that seems unlikely here.

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 Maybe I wont be killing anyone else

Kale takes 14 points of damage (leaving her with 22) and is blinded and prone.

Fung Xi is bleeding out and Alphonse is back at the mansion.

Ayaki, Alphonse, Fung Xi and Oscar, go!

Stabilize DC 14: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

hp=>-5

She spits out a flurry of obscenities in Skald as she hits the ground.

The unconscious Fung says, "Hiya! Welcome to the ground!" ^_^

Oscar lets go of his Rhoka which remains connected by a weapon cord and draws his wand before reaching down to poke at Fung Xi. Diane moves to be next to Dora and guards her. He then turns and yells out Subdue her and Ah can tie her up.

I cast Cure Light Wounds off of a wand and then Diane moves to Aid Dora's defense. Sadly, if there was a trick to get a companion to subdue I am not sure what it is. Diane moves around the griffin as it is an odd thing so S, S, E, E,E, N, N.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Help Dora's AC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Good call oscar. I could not figure a way to get wolf or griffon to do subdual and still hit Kale. They are both more intelligent than typical animals, but that seemed a stretch. If we can get her tied up, then we will be in better shape. Lol I just realized there are only 3 of us left to deal with her. I keep forgetting Alphonse is out of action for the moment.

Dora have the griffon grapple her.

Remember that you are limited to tricks that your animal companion knows, regardless of Intelligence score. You can have it try something different by pushing the animal with Handle Animal, but the DC is pretty high.

Since the griffon is not an animal but an intelligent magical beast that understands common, I would assume it acts more like a summons or NPC. Up to GM discretion, but not a handle animal check.

I was referring mostly to Diane, but I don't know how summon creatures work in terms of out of normal tactics... The griffon is a figurine, right? Hmmm... yeah, I would assume it acts like a Summoned creature as well.

EDIT: Curious, I looked up the bronze griffon. It states that it acts as a normal griffon, and under the griffon entry it states that a trained griffon is treated as having every trick listed under the Handle Animal entry. I thought that is pretty cool. I would assume that the wondrous item would be considered a trained griffon, or something comparable. I learn new things every day! ^_^

Good find, Fung Xi. Thanks :)

No problem! The description is in the Bestiary, under the griffon description. On another note, that evil woman is a pain in the butt-ocks! >.< I am hoping that we can get out of this alive... ;)

Fung Xi is now at 1 hp and may act. I still need an action from Ayaki.

Kale wonders about the life choices she's made that put her in this situation... Blind and prone surrounded by enemies she could have sworn were allies just minutes before. Something about the flying woman... Who knows? She said to kill them and thats just what Kale has to do!

Ayaki eats an AoO and attempts to grapple Kale after dripping his bow.

cmb: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 2 = 26

this way kale.

Dora will call off Boots and griffon from the attack.

"Boots, Goldwing...heel! Let us see if we can get her restrained. Fung Xi, let's patch you up quickly. Stand up before she can see again."

Dora casts cure light wounds on the monk. clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Kale gets a save each round vs blindness, but I do not believe she gets any Aoo while blind.

I figure our monk can do the most non-lethal damage the fastest.

Ayaki seizes Kale's wrist and applies pressure, dropping onto her breastplate and turning the arm to a lock.

Kale Dominate save (DC 25): 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 2 = 25
Kale Blindness (DC 16): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Kale relaxes.

Fight Over.

CONCLUSION

With Samavashti defeated and a majority of the feast guests positively influenced, the Grand Council of Absalom agrees to send troops to Mendev.

For rescuing Faelyn, Lady Dyrianna is very grateful and awards the Pathfinders an additional 3,000 gold crowns, a ring of counterspells, a medallion of thought and a stormlure.

The "gnome" was a form of rakshasa whose names as Zruuka. Zruuka carried a book of poetry written in Infernal that chronicles much of his history with Samivashti. Long before Samivashti allied with Tancred Desmire, she spent centuries wandering Golarion’s many strange lands, lingering in Vudra, where she first encountered the dandasuka rakshasa Zruuka. Samivashti served Zruuka’s master, a powerful rakshasa named Alavranushva, before later slaying the common rakshasa by draining its life force. Then, more as a curiosity than a sincere interest, the succubus invited Zruuka to join her in her travels. Centuries later, Samivashti and Zruuka remain companions and enthusiastic paramours who rely on each other’s different philosophical outlooks to better spy on and understand others. Though many of the poems are merely expressive insights into Zruuka’s and Samivashti’s murderous deeds, they also recount—in very lurid detail—the pair’s long, twisted love affair.

In the days that follow, Major Colson Maldris meets with Andoran faction PCs and informs them that he is deeply distraught by Senator Naran’s foppish behavior, which more befits an aristocrat than a statesman. As a result, Maldris announces that he is bound for Andoran to see for himself the state of his beloved country, and he invites the PCs to join him.

Two weeks later, Lady Gloriana Morilla sends Taldor faction PCs a letter informing them that she has visited Taldor to determine if Lady Vaelia’s view is representative of the entire nation. What she found was that too many of Taldor’s elite view the situation to the north with worried complacency. If the faction is to revitalize Taldor and remind others of its greatness, they will have to do so without the direct support of the homeland; however, Lady Morilla hints in her letter that she may have an idea, and she encourages her loyal agents to be ready to embark on an ambitious project in the coming days.

"Miss Kale, I am so glad you are back to your own control. Now we can finally go shopping for new dresses like I always dreamed about. I am so sorry I had to blind you...and you can hardly see the scar from Goldwing. I was supposed to just grab you. Silly creatures never listen."

Sounds like nice faction perk for Kale...I hope :-)

"Lady Kale, I too am glad that you are back in your right mind. You are truly a terror, and I am truly happy to have you on our side."

Fung Xi sits quietly after the guests have been confirmed to be safe, carefully binding his wounds. He watches for any more threats from the serving staff, or invisible threats. Once he is confident that everyone is safe, the young monk excuses himself from his friends and limps off toward the temple district and the Temple of the Dawnflower...

Ayaki quickly hops off of the prone and grappled Kale

Uh this is not what you think.

"My apologies to you all, most of all you master Fung Xi. A fear that woman magic was too strong for me to resist."

Fung Xi bows deeply to the Aldori Swordlord, "We all would have been hard-pressed refuse her demand. You just happened to be the most lethal of us, and so a perfect target."
