[PFS/Shifty/GDVI]The Paths We Choose (Inactive)

Game Master Nik B.

Helikon and Liz are on /delay

The fog cloud remains in place, but there is no sign of the flying caster.

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Party up!

Mavaro moves forward and attacks the prone one.
Attack: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 13 + 2 = 212d6 + 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 5) + (2, 3) + 8 = 21

Helikon Ref 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 - 18 Damage
Liz Ref 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 - 18 Damage

Mavaro sends the fellow from critical to dead.

Gauril smiles at the decisiveness of the blow.

Red tends to Gauril's injuries, healing him with a hex.
Healing Hex: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 6 = 12

Red looks and listens for signs of the flying caster. "Where did that bugger go?"
Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

The healing hex closes most of Gaurils wounds, but Red can't hear or see any signs of the caster, the massive cloud blocks a large area...

Probably behind the cloud...

Almost certainly...!

Eramos flies over to the other side of the cloud.

"Come out, come out where ever you are! Hiding is only delaying the inevitable.

intimidate, to demoralize: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Moving across Eramos still cant see the caster past the rather opaque cloud floating in the air...

That thing is going to last ages, and has a protracted effect, anyone have a plan B or poor Eramos and a flying caster will be stuck in the worlds worst game of Marco Polo

Stinking cloud last rounds, so not too bad. Either Eramos is going to flush her out from behind the cloud where others can see her or she's going to stand there and take whatever the barbarian dishes out. I suppose she can remain in the cloud and stay nauseated until its duration expires and then for some time after. On the other hand, being nauseated means you can only take a single move action per round and Eramos can double move, so he should be able to catch up to her.

Also, the cloud seems too small on the map. It should have a 20 foot radius. (Like the dark green circle I put down.)

Red calls out to Eramos, "The cloud won't last much longer, but our foe will sick for somewhat longer." Nauseated for 1d4+1 rounds after leaving the cloud.

"We should be ready to deal with the caster, as soon as the cloud dissipates."

Red turns to Gauril Karela, "If your injuries require more healing, we can help. Can you tell us what's going on?"

Red pulls out a wand of cure light wounds to heal the Venture-Captain. Just let me know how many charges to expend.

Then, Red readies to cast a snowball at the caster as soon as he or she is visible. Range 40'; Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16; Cold Damage: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 3, 3, 3) = 12; Fortitude DC 16 or staggered for 1 round.

6 rounds for the cloud, it has been operating for 2 rounds now, we are about to enter the 3rd round. Added more map

Eramos has had little luck locating the caster.
Red has a snowball in mind...
Urshala awaits, sword in hand.

New round, party up
Round 3 of the cloud

Mavaro looks left and right and shrugs."Not fun!"Delay action

Red has his spell readied to throw at the flying assassin, while he patiently awaits a response from the Venture-Captain.

Guaril looks at the dead assassins and points to the cloud, "Luring them into an ambush, and ensuring the conspirators revealed themselves fully. This looks almost complete!"

He is pretty healthy since the Hex was used

Evasion, so no damage if I passed the reflex save. Can't move my token but will move 40' to the proe of the ship, avoiding the cloud.

Rushing towards the cloud, Lizbeth takes out a flask and prepares to drink it should their prey become visible, which will allow her to take to the air to chase the cowardly assassin down for questioning, seeing how the others had already fallen. Wishing she had acted quicker, the Eagle Knight clenches her fists and shouts.

"Should you surrender now, I will see your fate is not the same as your compatriots! You have failed and Karela lives!"

Eramos moves around to the other side of the fog. Waiting for spellcaster to emerge.

Ursahla will ready her Freebooter's Bane if the assassin becomes visible again.

As Eramos rounds the cloud, the waiting wizard moves away...!
Still out of general view though
Eramos looks down and can see the wake of a few large creatures moving under the blood filled water, but in the moonlight, he can't teel what they are...

New round, party up
Round 4 of the cloud

Mavaro delays, too.

Could someone please move me towards the front of the ship from last turn. Thanks ^^

Unable to see their last Assassin or anything else amiss with the situation, Lizbeth glances over to Karela to see him alive and well and so holds ready to act should something drastically change.

Delay

Moved you up to the prow of the ship.

/poke Eramos.

Watch where you are poking:P

If magical flight lets me hover with out fly check, he will do that.

If not, he will continue to circle the cloud, mimicking the creatures below.

Err, not going to deal with the flying puking wizard?

My fault, I thought he was still inside, my bad.

Eramos takes off after the nauseated wizard, bringing his sword down hard.

charging, vital strike, power attack, furious focus: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30
damage: 4d6 + 11 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 5) + 11 = 23

AC is 18 for this round.

Eramos charhes forward and strikes the nauseated wizard... the blow seems to partially bounce off the unnaturally hard skin!

The Wizard just moves marginally away and draws a potion.
5' Steps

PARTY UP!
Round 5 of the cloud

Damn, forgot to mention. I have step-up.oh well.

Eramos grows angry as his perfect stroke does not strike true.

power attack, furious focus, raging, witchhunter and now weapon is counted as a +3 adamantine greatsword.
attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33
damage: 4d6 + 17 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 5) + 17 = 33

if the wizard five foots away, eramos will follow.

The wizard is struck again!

W 36

Anyone else?

Ursahla can't do much with the cloud in the way.

Same unfortunately.

Anyone else - or I'll roll forward on the bad guy and move us to the next round...

Red whispers to Eramos via the message spell, "We hear you fighting, but you're both concealed from us by the cloud, and probably out of range for many of our spells. Can you force or lure him our direction, so we can help?"

The caster moves back, but Eramos steps up against him - much to the wizards surprise.

Cast defensively 1d20 + 4 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 9 + 5 = 32 vs DC21
Targeted Dispel 1d20 + 9 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 9 = 27 vs L3 DC 14

Eramos is no longer flying... he falls into the water, and to the dark predatory shapes that wait below the surface. In the inky water, he sees a significant number of tentacles coming toward him!

Final round of the cloud
PARTY UP!

Mevaro waits patiently for the cloud to disappear.

You did hear the almighty splash...

Red invokes his flight hex and races to the sound of the splash.

He looks for the fallen barbarian and tries to rescue the man from the brink.

Red lifts off the deck and begins flying out...

Holding breath underwater. How deep am I?

swim check, unk DC for this water., to stop from sinking lower.: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Usual stuff, -2 attack and damage for slashing weapons under water
attack, red: 1d20 + 15 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 15 - 2 = 28
damage: 4d6 + 15 - 2 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 5) + 15 - 2 = 25

2/32 rounds of holding breath

If the swim check fails, I am off balance, and lose my dex to AC.And the animals get +2 to hit.

You are on the surface as the start point. DC to stay 'afloat' is 10.
Also, slash weapons are -2 attack, but are half damage, not -2...

Same actions?

Got it now, no switching up weapons.

Eramos switches his greatsword to his offhand, freeing up his spiked gauntlet and punches red twice with his spiked gauntlet. Piercing= no penalty.

attack #1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
damage: 1d4 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

attack #2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
damage: 1d4 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

With not much else to do, Ursahla dives into the water and swims expertly towards the barbarian.

Swim: 10 + 11 = 21

If attacked, Ursahla will try to ward off the attack with her rapier.

Red flies forward as Ursh jumps in the water and starts swimming.

Helikon awaits a change on the deck... Gauril looking on to try ascertain the state of the combat.

Meanwhile, Eramos does what he can to fend off the aquatic creatures, landing one spiked gauntlet smack on target!

Liz then moving forward :)

R 12
O
Wiz 36

Liz delays

The large fish attack Eramos!

Attack 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 2 = 16

Attack 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 2 = 29
Damage 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 5, 1) + 6 = 17
Grapple 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 15 + 2 = 36
Savage bite - 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 2 = 26
Damage 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2) + 4 = 7
Total = 24 damage

Eramos is grabbed by a tentacle and pulled in to be bitten by a venomous parrot-like beak!

Above, the flying wizard laughs at the Barbarians predicament... "One down!" the wizard then flies across and five flashing missiles streak towards Gauril!

MM 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 3, 3) + 5 = 20

Party up!

Hearing the splash, Lizbeth is relieved to see Urshala dive in to rescue their ally. Finally knocking back the potion in her hands, the Bloodrager takes to the air and flies into the cloud where she saw Eramos fall from and seeks out the enemy wizard.

"I wish you would have simply surrendered." she sighs as she closes in.

Standard to drink then fly up to 60' towards the Wizard.

Cloud is gone :)

Red flies closer to the sea monster and tries to figure out what sort of creature has Eramos in its tentacles.
Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
He gets within 30' of the sea monster grappling Eramos and points his stink finger at the beast.
Slumber (Will DC18 negates or sleep for 6 rounds.)

Will 1d20 ⇒ 2+Mod
The creature lets go...

Red knows this creature is no 'natural' beast, but rather a Devilfish - an unholy beast from the depths with an infernal taint...!

Wht info would you like?

swim, DC 10: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

22 damage due to dr 1/-

Eramos turns around and punches the other beast.

attack #1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
damage: 1d4 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
attack #2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
damage: 1d4 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

With no safe way to navigate the tentacles, Ursahla focuses all her efforts on dodging the beast as she closes with it, twisting through at the last moment as it attacks.

Total Defense and move. Assuming the creature takes it AoO, Ursahla will use a point of panache to activate the dodging panache deed. (Total AC vs the AoO = 30, AC until next turn = 28.)
