[PFS] Teamwork Experiment Table Æroden (Inactive)

Game Master Nathan Hartshorn

Marina uses monk speed to run all the way around.

"I'm not going in the poison webs! They've more than got squishing spiders covered, let me see if I can find more surprises around the corner or on the second floor..."

This is one move action, if nothing here she'll keep going.

Polished mahogany walls and wooden floors shift abruptly to rough, crumbling rock, giving way to the foundations of an old temple incorporated into the house’s architecture. A beautifully aged glass mosaic of a butterfly spreads it wings between weather-beaten marble columns adorned with an astrological motif. To the west, the stout slats of an old wooden stage have been forcefully pried up and piled near a stone altar carved from the island’s bedrock.

Surprise slam!: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 2 = 17

Something shifts in the air currents around Marina, giving her a split second to dodge from something coming at her! Attack is from the tile that the stalker is on.

As this is going on more chittering can be heard in the room full of webs. The spiders then charge, seemingly enraged by the invasion of their territory.

AoOs Dissa, one for each.

Thanks monk reflexes!

"I knew you couldn't resist me forever. I am too delicious!" Shouts the addled avenger.

Damage AoO 3: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (1, 5) + 16 = 22

Nah, he's still hanging out near the roof of the room above. If anyone's played CotCT the name may be familiar from the first book.

The spiders stand no chance as Dissa cuts them in half. More chittering, angry sounding, echoes around the room.

Order 2nd Round

Marina
Invisible Stalker
Dissa, Cyrene, Dulomak and Kontha

The half orc will begin to concentrate and implore the realm of nature to send forth an ally. Casting summon nature's ally to summon a stiege.

What is Kontha doing?

She will wait for Dulomak.

Sorry, got busy in a real life D and D AL game after I posted for Dulomak last night

Webs start raining down on Dissa from above.

Web!: 1d20 + 8 - 2 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 - 2 - 2 + 2 = 16

They wrap around the man, entangling him in their sticky embrace. You are now entangled and take a -2 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity, can move at only half speed, and cannot charge or run. You can escape with a DC 15 Escape Artist check or burst it with a DC 19 Burst check.

Looking up you see a nightmarish Ettercap flying some 30 feet above Dissa. It sounds like it is the source of the chittering.

Invisible Stalker
Dissa, Cyrene, Dulomak and Kontha

know nature 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 to see if I know about the creature that is flying.

Can she smell the invisible stalker?

Marina sets herself to try and grapple that stalker!

If she knows the square she'll try it now, if not she'll ready for it's attack.

grapple: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

Kontha can get some idea of where it is, but it will still require some perception checks.

Invisible!: 1d100 ⇒ 10

Marina tries to wrap around the invisible thing that struck at her, but she doesn't manage to even touch it.

It throws itself at her again, air currents giving some idea of where the attacks are coming from.

Wham!: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16
Slam!: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 5) + 4 = 10

"Shut your eyes Marina!" Cyrene calls before bathing Marina and her assailant in glitterdust.

The half orc will send the stige after Chittersnap.

"OOP!" is all Marina can say slamming her eyes shut as she reels from a slam.

will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

Whether or not it's visible now, grappling wasn't working so time to beat slam back!
(all nonlethal)
punch: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

kick: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

punch: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

In between classes

Dissa tries to drag his way out of the gunk, while drawing a dart.

Burst!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

The big man moves to a direct line of sight, and chucks a dart at the flying Ettercap.

Dart!: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 - 1 = 25

Rocket Puncture: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Forgot to add this to the last post.

Nothing about this creature is natural. Ettercaps are already abominations, but this thing appears to have mutated further, its head elongating into a vaguely shield shape. Its chiton is now bone white, and the more flexible bits run a deep scarlet.

Will!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Cyrene's call seems to have helped more than Marina, as the creature fighting her doesn't seem disoriented by the glitter covering it and her now. But it is visible, a vaguely humanoid shape, though its proportions seem slightly distorted.

It manages to avoid Marina's first punch, but she gets a sense of its speed and connects with her next two attacks.

Dulomak, do you want to roll for the Stirge or would you like me to?

Dissa breaks out of the entangling webs, throwing a dart nearly directly above him, sinking a dart deep into the meat of the ettercap.

The stirge flies up on its little stirge wings and tries to pierce the hide of the ettercap with its probiscious

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 touch attack

I think that it will drain blood at the end of the attack and drain 1 Con

The half orc will move up and attempt to slash the invisible stalker
1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 1 = 25 power attack and lead blades

2d8 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 7 + 2 = 13

Kontha, sees what she could once only smell and rushes in to try to flank with her half orc
1d20 + 7 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 4 - 1 = 27 Power attack
1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10

I hate when I have to be at school all day, I was at school about 12 hours yesterday. Full day of teaching, a meeting in between, and then Parent/Teacher Night

I feel ya man. Sacrifice a lot for those kids.

I was pleasantly surprised at the number of parents who showed up to my room, Usually I get no more than 10 0r 15, this year I had about 30 or more.

The ettercap avoids the stirge as it flies by, attacking as it comes in.

Opportunity!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Dulomak and Kontha join Marina and assault the the invisible stalker, each taking a chunk out of the substance it's made of.

The ettercap swats at the stirge bothering it.

Bite!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Claw!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Claw!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

The tiny creature is finally struck from the air and crushed by the ettercaps enlarged claws.

"Why are you fighting with these people? Please stand down!"

Marina hopes the creature speaks common or aquan but continues to defend herself (nonlethal damage).

swing: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
pow: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

swing: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
pow: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

swing: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
pow: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Poor little stirge, sniff, sniff

The stalker does seem to understand common, and responds in kind. "I was summoned here to guard the rightful inhabitants from all intruders. But because I was summoned in this room I have chosen to guard only it from intruders, and the cult proved they are the rightful inhabitants when they showed me the deed. Thus I must protect this room from those that would hurt them."

It punctuates these statements by lashing out at both Marina and Kontha.

Slam (M)!: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
Slam (K)!: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 2) + 4 = 11

Realizing he is out of darts, Dissa takes a move action to activate his Martial Flexibility. He now has the Quick Draw feat for the next minute.

"How about a taste of your own medicine? I have something for you."

The paladin picks up a spider corpse as a free action. He flings the corpse as mightily as possible at the Ettercap.

Fire the Spider Cannon!: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 - 4 = 11

Unlikely Spider Damage...: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Now that is just funny!

The half orc will attempt to slash at the creature again, using a mighty blow to try to put it out of the group's misery
1d20 + 8 - 1 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 8 - 1 + 4 = 27 power attack + flanking
2d8 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (8, 6) + 7 + 2 = 23

Second attack since he is hasted
1d20 + 8 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 4 - 1 = 25
2d8 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (5, 4) + 7 + 2 = 18

Kontha will attempt to bite the invisible stalker who dared to punch her
1d20 + 7 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 4 - 1 = 17 power attack and outflank
1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 = 9

1d4 ⇒ 2 acid maw

and bites again since she is hasted
1d20 + 7 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 4 - 1 = 13

I dont think that hit

I think I forgot the acid maw, if her first hit on it, last post hit

1d4 ⇒ 2 acid maw

Assuming Dulomak hasn't brought down the stalker...

"Oh, great, well, this fight is dumb then, thanks for sharing, we'll process the rightful inhabitants later but the state takes exception to their acts of terrorism and we are seizing the building. I'll go find a deed. Maybe that's enough loophole in your binding?"'

Marina 5 ft steps into the next room and heals herself.

healing: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4) + 3 = 8

Cyrene waits, hoping that Marina has enough of an idea to short circuit the fight. She has full confidence in Dissa, but prefers not having to watch him get hurt...

Oh, got ahead of myself. After chittersnap.

Dulomak's initial powerful blow, combined with all of the 'soft touches' applied by Marina are enough to knock the stalker out cold. You can finish it off if you want.

More angry chittering comes from up above, especially as a spider is thrown to the rafters, but it sounds like it is receding. Combat over? Unless Cyrene can do something to hit Chittersnap.

I could MM but Cyrene won't. It's leaving and that will do.

"Are you allright Dissa?" Cyrene asks, craning to look at the general's full twelve feet of height.

Dissa spends a move action to gain Throw Anything with his Martial Flexibility. He then slings his Fauchard into it's holster, and puts a spider corpse in each hand.

"Actually, I'm totally fine. I got hit with some spider web juice, but all I had to do was walk out of it. I would prefer to hurry through the rest of the complex. I have limited use of some of my supernatural abilities, and I want to take advantage of them!"

The big man is on the hunt.

"If you want to help me, grab as many of those spider corpses as you can. I'm ready to give these beasts a taste of their own medicine!"

With that said, he presses into G12. He speaks more softly on the walk, "Don't worry, I won't let any harm befall your beautiful countenance. I would die to protect you, and nothing in here can kill me."

Do we kill the stalker?

"Don't kill it! This creature was just bound here! We should release it once we've secured the complex, at worst case once we have the deed and process ownership of this shack its not threat! Like Dissa said lets push on, it even said it only guarded that room should someone manage to wake it!

This room hosts an impressive carved wooden stairway that descends from above. A comfortable fireplace flickers without warmth, and a moth-eaten rug hosts equally moth-eaten furniture. Rotting frames filled with tattered canvas cover the walls. The looming stone facade of the Old Wall comprises the room’s western wall, and a strange cagelike structure is built into the northwest corner.

A quick glance reveals the location of four more cult members, unsuccessfully hiding behind crates and the stairwell. When they realize you notice them they give a cry and move to fight.

"How big is this place?" Cyrene asks in annoyance. She's a halfling and most human buildings look big to here but this place is ridiculous!

Glitterdust blue, yellow and green.

Will Blue!: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Will Yellow!: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Will Green!: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The cult members hiding behind the crates all cry out as Cyrene's spell manifests, covering them in glitter and robbing them of their eyesight.

Dissa starts with the unhindered red mook, and sweeps his way through the blinded in a massive arc of destruction.

Red Flat Footed: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 2 = 15

Red Damage: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (2, 5) + 16 = 23

Red Iterative: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 = 12

Red Haste Dead?: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 2 = 19

Red Damage: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (2, 2) + 16 = 20

"These guys must be pretty tough. I could barely hit this guy in the corner!"

Kontha moves in and tries to bite yellow, to death :)

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 plus I think he is flatfooted
1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 bite
1d4 ⇒ 2 acid

The half orc will move in and try to slash green with his glaive
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 Confirm? flatfooted?
2d8 + 7 ⇒ (7, 3) + 7 = 17

3d8 + 7 ⇒ (8, 8, 3) + 7 = 26 if confirmed does the +7 triple as well?

A nasty hit if he confirms

3d8+7 if confirmed does the +7 triple as well?

It should triple, adjusting your damage to 40. Nice work!

Hooray!
