[PFS/Shifty] Serpents Rise (Inactive)

Game Master Nik B.

Should the players get a +4 to their save to disbelieve for being told it's an illusion?

We hadn't got to that bit yet :) - just dealing with the immediacy of what has taken place - ie if people who could see immediately act, that will have ramifications on those who are in the process of 'disbelieving' - that said, no one did anything 'rash' so we move to the next step. There was always that odd chance of a loose fireball - it happens...!

Rataji points out the nature of the illusion...

Everyone can now see things for what they are.
No one can see The Ambitious though.

Zurnzal will start studying the closest target for the next 18 seconds.

Cool - so three rounds of quiet prep...

Zurznal starts focusing on the fellow who is admonishing the Half Orc woman.

The Pro looks at Zurnzal, seeing he is eyeing the same target she was. Her concentration goes to the next closest target then, thinking that if she charged she could reach it.

So then plan is to rush them when the three rounds of study is over?

Looks like it.

Cool by me. Tell me what to roll and when to roll it, I'm ready.

I'll get us in order

Prep phase (3 rounds)
Door is open, so consider noise etc
The Ambitious - Studying (Yellow)
The Artist
The Experiment
The Leader
The Professional - Waiting.
The Vengeful

Rataji will eye the room and look to cast Hideous Laughter at the guy with a gun, whenever people are ready.

Hideous Laughter DC 18 Will

Hideous Laughter DC 18 Will

Prep phase (3 rounds)

okay, First of all, I did say earlier that I cast Invisibility on Shohiraj before I did on Zurnzal, so they both can sneak in the room if they wish. That being said, with a cursory glance, which of the 3 is the least armored (and as such, most likely to be a spellcaster and our top priority to kill ASAP?)

Noted on both Invis players

The Half-Orc woman looks the least armoured

last call for prep actions?

I anticipate that what will occur is a Surprise Round, then we can get things into initiative order etc

Sounds good to me.

Yea, during my studying I will also move up to my target.

Yea, during my studying I will also move up to my target.

As Sho is also invisible, I have moved her into place - otherwise she would not have reached the target in the surprise round.

With a wave of violence, the trap is sprung!

Surprise round
Standard or move action only
Shohiraj
Rataji (Pending HL on orange)
Joli
Marnarius
322
Ambitious

Will resolve Surprise, then start R1

Without even a word of warning, The Pro starts the attack!

Sap!: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 2 = 15 for Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 4d6 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 6 + (2, 1, 1, 2) + 8 = 24 and target is Bewildered (-2 AC against all, -4 AC vs The Pro)

Wow, I hope that FFAC is horrible.

Zurnzal goes for a knockout punch!

VS FF: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 13 + 2 = 18

Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + (6) + 6 = 18 And 2 fort saves. DC13 vs the death attack and DC18 vs the knockout strike. Please fail one.

After what seemed like weeks of planning we roll a 2 and a 3 for our attacks. A cruel game this Pathfinder.

Surprise round
Standard or move action only
Shohiraj
Rataji - Casts!
Joli
Marnarius
322 - Attacks!
Ambitious - Attacks!

The Professional lashes out with a sap, giving the unsuspecting fellow a firm blow to the back of the head.

The Ambitious strikes the other Pathfinder
Fort 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Fort 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Who takes the blow and is still standing...!

Rataji casts his spell...
Will 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
But they shake off the magic.

R
O 24 (+Bewildered)
Y 18

Wow, bet I don't get rolls like that when attacking...!

If a swift action is allowed, I use it to trigger my arcane pool to add +1 and Keen to my weapon.

Without hesitation, Joliryn charges the man that Z targeted, her scimitar flaming up as she goes to stab the man.

Scimitar attack(Flaming, vs FF): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
damage: 1d4 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + (1) = 11

The dice do not like us today.

Surprise round
Standard or move action only
Shohiraj - TBA
Rataji - Casts!
Joli- Attacks!
Marnarius - TBA
322 - Attacks!
Ambitious - Attacks!

Joli charges in, but her blade misses the mark - catching on the fellows mail.

Shoh and Marn up!

Sorry everyone. I haven't had the opportunity to post while I've been on vacation.

Marnarius rushes in, arming himself with his newly-acquired heavy flail, heading towards the lady in red.

The Pro hopes that she can continue to take advantage of the situation!

If that happens to take out my enemy I will try to use my move action to get in the face of the 3rd enemy, even if I need to climb onto/slide under/jump over the table to do it.

BTW, it wasn't quite clear, but am I attacking the guy with the musket? If not, what is his weapon?

Yellow is sword and board guy, Orange is Musket man, red is robed...

OK, then I would like to have him be Hampered this round instead of Bewildered. His movement is half and he is not allowed to take a 5' step.

Noted. At this point a stiff breeze would take him down :p

Joliryn looks briefly toward the woman in robes, before doing her best to end the woman's partner.

Casting Shocking Grasp

Casting Defensively: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Scimitar strike,flaming,Shocking Grasp: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Rataji will move into the room, look over the situation, and seeing the red one off by herself, will suggest she take a load off and have a seat.

Suggestion DC 19

Will 1d20 ⇒ 5

The Half Orc woman looks strangely at the chair in front of her, and takes a seat.

The well mannered fellow (Yellow) finally responds to the assault!
He touches himself briefly...
LOH 3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 4) = 10
Then lashes at Joli!

Attack 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
Damage 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 = 12

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 1) + 4 = 10
Then steps back to take a better position!

The musket bearer steps back and unleashes on The Professional!
You have an AOO before he goes off - he's using a ranged weapon in melee

***
So the tail end of Orange and The Pro to sort, but you guys can crack on as I presume most are doing over Yellow

The Pro tries to take advantage of the situation she presented to herself!

Sap!: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21 for Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

The gun comes up and he takes aim, but as she stares down the barrel she swings once more as he moves to pull the trigger - the sap connects and he drops spark out!

The Ambitious tries raining blows on the Pathfinder, but only one connects.

After standing motionless in a deep trance for some time, 322 suddenly snaps back to reality. She speaks in a foreign tongue, in a manner so devoid of emotion she almost seems like a corpse.

Gift of Madness on yellow

Moving across the table, the pro gets into a flanking position on the yellow enemy!

Acrobatics to get across table?: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28

The Pro gets into a flank!

With a snarl, Joliryn steps in, casting another spell to smack the swordsman with. "Dim ond yn marw yn barod!" she growls under her breath as she attacks the man.

Spellstriking Force Punch
5 foot step in.

Casting defensively, spellguard: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

Scimitar attack, flameing, Force Punch: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
damage: 1d4 + 6 + 1d6 + 7d4 ⇒ (3) + 6 + (1) + (1, 1, 4, 2, 2, 2, 4) = 26
Plus DC 17 Fort save or be moved 15 feet away from me.

With the woman sitting as requested and everything else in hand. Rataji will admire the handiwork of this makeshift crew smile and await yet another glorious defeat of the Pathfinders. Hold Action will come off hold if things take a turn for the worse

Jolly manages a neat hit that folds the man up like paper.

He hits the floor...

The woman is presently sitting down and taking a load off

Probably going to end badly for her, so happy to get a general vibe and roll with what you decide

Marnarius tightens his grip on the flail and glances over to Rataji. "How long is she gonna sit there?" he asks with a sneer.

322 strolls over to the seated Pathfinder and strokes her hair with one of her daggers. "Can I.....play with her? My master taught me some fun....let's say games. She is always looking for new.....toys to play with."

Don't play too many though, it is suggestion, not domination - so poke around too much and it may lead to spontaneous Fireballs or something :p

"Later, we need to finish the job first. Just bind and gag her and we can get back to the task at hand." Joliryn says as she bandages her wound from that fight.

I can just roll some hits from the CLW wand we picked up, right?

@ Joli: Go for out, I'm keeping track.
