[PFS] The Midnight Nebten (Inactive)

Game Master Nebten

Ruprecht, not one to shy away from the wetworks, moves right between everybody and delivers a solid strike with his spear.

From afar, Alafair releaes her magic missles to pound into Scooby.

Pluto turns to attack the new threat, Ruprecht!

Bite vs Ruprecht: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Trip vs Ruprecht's CMD: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Claw 1 vs Ruprecht: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Claw 2 vs Ruprecht: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Ulfalfa gains Scooby's attention as he turns to attack the northern warrior.

Bite vs Ulfalfa: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Claw 1 vs Ulfalfa: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Claw 2 vs Ulfalfa: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Another hit, whoo! OK, everybody can go!

Lacaw lets out a low rumbling quork from deep within his throat, slides a few feet next to the closest rabid hound and unleashes Apsu's fury upon the beast.

Claw 1 Damage: 1d8 + 12 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 3 + 2 = 18
Claw 2 Damage: 1d8 + 12 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 3 + 2 = 25
Bite Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 3 + 2 = 19

Roary attacks Pluto..

1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14
Dam: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (3, 1) + 16 = 20

Stepping to one side, Ulflafa continues to silently hammer at the wolfhound with a grim determination.

Earthbreaker: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (3, 1) + 12 = 16

Round 3, Power Att

Filios again attacks Pluto.

CB Att: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 - 2 = 10
CB Dam: 1d10 + 4 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 5 = 16

I didn't even notice last night, I may have crit Claw 1 again

Confirm Roll for claw 1: 1d20 + 9 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 3 + 2 = 17
Crit Damage if Confirmed: 1d8 + 12 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 3 + 2 = 20

Ruprecht lies on the floor after being tripped, waiting on the others to bash at the dogs before chancing to stand again.

Releasing a crackling bolt of elecrical energy from her fingertips, Alafair aims the ray at Scooby, but in the scrum of battle, the ray flies wide missing the dogs entirely.

Elemental Ray, into melee: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 - 4 = 6

Save your Ray Alafair

The Pathfinders quickly put down the remaining two wolfhounds.

The elderly woman garbed in judges robes comes out from behind the large oak desk.

"Was that the Mauler? I thought that was just Varisian fairy tails to drive up the price of silver and wolfsbane. Thank you for the rescue. I thought those days were behind me. Here take this."

Judge Pradowca sheathes her blade into an ornate scabard that would make Taldan nobles blush.

"Its not the best of weapons, but it may help you sense what motivates that beast."

The door the wall behind the Judge appears to be smashed in.

"Kaw, it is not only our duty but our pleasure as well, yes." Lacaw says, bobbing his head and looking about. "Are you injured?" he asks as he looks about the room and over the bodies of the dead hounds.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

As the judge speaks, Lacaw studies her carefully.

Sense Motives: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

The Judge looks about, patting her self down.

"No. I don't think so. Another moment thought and I would have become breakfast, lunch and dinner."

Lacaw makes his way to the door frame. After a moment he waves his companion Pathfinders over to him. "Fur" he says, looking through the door and at the ground as if looking for tracks.

Survival: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

He examines the fur, seeing if it may match the hounds or....something else!
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

If it does not belong to the creatures we just fought I'll try to track it, alerting the others.

"Nice work, bird-man!" says Alafair really trying to compliment the invesigation by Lacaw.

She readies to follow the trail of whatever left fur on the broken entrance. Casting Light, if necessary, to illuminate the area.

"Is that fur from something coming in, or something going out?"

Lacaw notices scratches in the floorboards exiting the room. They lead into the hallway behind the courtroom. The hallway connects to three empty holding cells. One of the cell doors has been ripped open. Inside draining grate has been peeled back like a can of tuna fish leaving only a dark maw into the sewers below.

The fur found among the splinters of the door is more soft and fine compared to the thick, course hair covering the blood wolves.

"Kaw, softer fur than mongrels we just slew. Our prey has fled to the sewers."

Lacaw extends his feather-covered arms and steps off, gliding downward into the sewer. Low Light Vision 40

take 10 Fly, DC 15 to glide as if Feather Falling.

Fly take 10: 10 + 6 = 16

Survival tracking if possible: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

As the tengu lands, he says a prayer of Light. On my armor, or claw. I don't mind being the beacon.

Perception in the Sewer: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

After the bird-man starts to glow he asks for Apsu's divine Guidance as he waits for the others to descend. Guidance on m'self!:)

Filios climbs down the ladder after the floating Tengu.

Hold up there, Lacaw, don't take away all the fun.

Climb: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Ulflafa follows Filios into the abyss, pausing to collect the scraps of fur before climbing down.

"Our prey is elusive and quicker than, kaw, Lacaw. We must move quickly else we lose his trail down here in the muck." the exotic priest offers as he scans the darkness ahead.

"Running quickly around a tunnel in the darkness is a recipe for disaster. Slow down, and let's do this safely and get it right the first time."

Ruprecht moves forward and assists Lacaw with the Perception checks. Auto success, so he gains a plus two. He readied himself for any traps that might lie in their way.

Lacaw can see, and cast light for those who cannot. Shall I hail a cab for us also? :P

Roary follows then into the hole..

As soon as circumstances permit, Ulflafa will pull out her ioun torch and set it in orbit.

Filios adds to those searching for the trail to follow the beast.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Let us follow as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The tight confines of the courthouse sewers eventually open into wider tunnels collecting effluence from the neighboring buildings. The putrid stink of human refuse mingles with a more natural stink of decomposition. Bubbles and ripples occasionally break the water’s surface, filling the chamber with a constant gurgle.

With various sources of illumination guiding your way, the the sewer leads out head of the party. After traveling some distance, it forks to the left and to the right.

Lacaw does his best to pick up the trail.
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Survival: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

"Kaw, looks for scratches on the walls. If he was moving fast he may have dug his claws into the stonework." the warpriest suggests as he searches around the muck for clues.

Perception 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24. Ruprecht looks around for any tufts of fur.

I assume that 29 from above works for determining which way it went.

"Why does it always have to be the sewers?" mutters Alafair to herself as she wrinkles her nose in disgust at the horrific smell. "Just once, couldn't the bad guy run into a rose garden or something?"

She follows along with the others, carefully not to tread in any of the foulness that permeates this place.

The party agrees that the left passage is the right of way. The stench gets worse as the party proceeds. Lacaw leads the way as he searches the muck and filth of Ardis’s drainage tunnels. Suddenly, the clawed feet of the the tengu begin to burn and sizzle. Before the party, bubbling through the sewage water is a yellow-orange amoeboid creature. It slithers across the ground, pseudopods grasping ahead of its slow approach.

Round 1

The water in the collecting chamber is 2 feet deep and counts as difficult terrain. All Pathfinders are up! Map updated!

Momentarily startled by the slime, Ulflafa steps to one side and strikes at it with her earthbreaker.

5' Step, power attack

Earthbreaker: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Damage: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (3, 1) + 12 = 16

Looks like I'm #2 on the order, I'll go ahead and post my actions

Swift Action Ferver to Divine Favor then full attack.+3/+3

Lacaw quorks an inutterable sylable and is cloaked in divine light. Golden energy coalesces around the exotic priest's body!

He attacks with inhuman ferocity.

Power Attack Claw 1: 1d20 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 3 = 31
Power Attack Claw 2: 1d20 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 3 = 22
Power Attack Bite: 1d20 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 3 = 29

Claw Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 3 = 15
Claw 2 Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 3 = 19
Bite Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 3 = 15

Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 3 = 23
Crit Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 3 = 15

For some reason I'm unable to preview or edit from my phone.

Taking a 5' step back from the amoeba-like thing, Alafair unleashes another group of Magic Missiles at the thing. The electrical force bolts strike the creature, dealing some damage.

"Kill that things boys, don't let it touch you..."

Magic Missile Dmg: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4, 3) + 3 = 11

Round 1, Flat-Footed Enemy, Sneak Attack

Filios steps back 5' as well, and he fires an arrow at the thiing.

LB Att: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
LB Dam: 1d8 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (8) + 2 + (1, 6, 6) = 23

"Can anyone identify that thing," the alchemist asks, not wanting to waste his acidic Bombs if it would do no good. He holds his action, seeing the rest of the group immediately spring into action.

Roary rages and attacks the thing as well..

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
Damage: 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (2, 5) + 16 = 23

Ulflafa's stare alone appears to damage this thing.

Lacaw slashes and bites at the creature. The first two claws split the ooze in half, creating two more oozes! The final bite easily pierces the membrane but appears to do no damage.

Alafair's magic missiles batter down the original ooze until his dissipates into the sewer floor.

Filios's arrow easily lands it the blob, but does not appear to wound it.

1d2 ⇒ 1

Roary steps to the left in front of Lacaw and blasts one of the jelly daughters into oblivion with his earth breaker.

The lone ooze daughter tries to attack Ulflafa

Slam vs Ulflafa: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

With a miss, a grin creeps across Ulflafa's face as she raises her earth breaker high a above her head. With a mightly blow, the northern warrior crushes the ochre jelly into nevermore.

Combat over! I will post more tonight when I get home from work

I hate Oozes...whew!

And by tonight, I mean a couple days after finding out last minute that my aunt came to visit for her birthday for the weekend.
Yah, I hate oozes and swarms.

The party outruns a centipede swarm and are able to track whom ever is ahead by the splashing sounds in the sewer water. Through the twists and turns, a beam of light radiates from the ceiling. As the party closes, the sounds of seagulls echo from above.

The mouth-filling stench of the sewers finally breaks in the relatively fresh air of Ardis’s docks as the party rises up from below. The moonlight shining down upon the weathered stones beside the sewer gate catches a glint of gold: a small, worn locket smashed upon the rocks holds a pair of tiny portraits. One shows a Vonran Vilk who might have walked the streets fifty years ago. The other, torn and gnawed, shows Markov Rutowski—Vilk’s former lover!

Sixty feet away, the party notices an erect, furry creature leap over a collapse gateway that leads into Ardis's noble's district.

Chase!

Now it is time to chase down the Midnight Mauler! The rules for the chase are in the Campaign Info. The MAP tells where everybody is at. The Pathfinders go (in any order), then I will go. Any Questions, please ask in Discussion.
Good luck and you're up!

Seeing her target, Ulflafa moves forward with a tremendous burst of speed.

40' move action, 40' standard action, 40' immediate action

Yes, I can move 120' in one turn with Surprising Charge.

First Obstacle

Pathfinders can either try to force open the jammed door (CMB vs CMD 12) or try to climb over the collapse structure (Climb DC 15).

Rage On

CMB: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Ulflafa smashes through the door and continues running.

Ruprecht tries to follow the barbarian!

Cmb 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

The door does not buckle, however!

Climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Alafair smashes herself against the jammed door, trying to knock it back open so she can get a clear shot at the Mauler. However, her strenghth isn't her specialty and she fails to get the door unstuck.

CMB vs CMD 12: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Filios will stay on the quarry's tail, following Lacaw.

Climb: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Roary smashes through the gate as well and stays on the trail..

CMB: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

I totally misread the chase rules. Since we haven't updated I'll try to move 2 spaces by completing both obstacles, if that cool Neb?

CMB vs 12CMD: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
