PFS: The Prince of Augustana (Inactive)

Game Master nightdeath

Vasilli, a fort sae from you please to avoid Sewer Infection. You actually went into the seweage?

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

Vasilli spits out thick brown water, spluttering as he drags his once pristine sleeves across his mouth. "I... I do not veel zo good."

lol! I can use a wand of CLW so roll your own if you need healing. Let me know if you are using my charges.

Anyone got the Prestidigitation to keep Vasilli from being (as) whiffy?! :o

Thank you Hervey. Going to need to use your charges since this is his first adventure. CLW wand is the first thing I get with my first 2 PP. 2 charges used.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Vasillis strong consitution wards off whatever was in the water. Ewww

Travel in the sewers seems awfully quiet but expected given the recent loud explosion.

The party soon reach another intersection where a minor sewer line flows into the main line from the south. Graffiti covers much of the walls here, most of it simple drawings. Prominent among them is a large stylized drawing of a wyvern in shiny gray paint (signifying that the Steel Wyvern’s claim this territory). Also among them is an image of a skull crawling with bugs and an arrow pointing back to the west (a warning about the dangerous insects at the previous junction), and a representation of a beggar’s bowl holding a coin and a key with an arrow pointing to the south. Underneath the picture of the bowl is the word “Almsman.”

Following the sign, the party soon notices ahead a faint light that glimmers in the dark. Slowly it resolves into a crude lantern held by a toothless old beggar who holds a chair leg in his other hand. Beside him stands a scrawny youth, similarly armed but obviously terrified. Behind the two derelicts is an open door bearing the symbol of the beggar’s bowl, coin, and key.

“If yer intentions be peaceful, Abadar makes you welcome.” he eyes you warily as he speaks.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Skerdo chuckles. "Abadar. Wouldn't expect to find a priest of his down in this benighted and gold-free hole!"

Jomal greets the man, then finally speaks.

This disciple of the Master of Masters thanks your hospitality. We are the Pathfinder Society. - he completes, not extending much.

You are welcome Teloish!

Hervey smiles at the lad and replies, "We are indeed peaceful. As my reptilian friend mentioned, we are Pathfinders and as such we seek only knowledge of the past."

diplomacy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

"We're here with the best of intentions", says Tsafento somewhat vaguely.
diplomacy, aid Hervey: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

"And to make a bit of dosh in the process," he says silently to himself.

"We bid you welcome and our humble abode lies beyond these doors." the older man stiffly returns the bow, both their relief is palpable.

Beyond the door, a short flight of steps leads up into what appears to be the basement crypt of a church of Abadar. Perhaps two dozen beggars huddle among sarcophagi, some sleeping, some haggling over bits of junk or scraps of food laid out on blankets.

A tall man in clean robes wearing a plain copper mask walks among them. Turning to all of you coolly and says, “If you respect this sanctuary, I offer you what sanctuary I can. Otherwise, begone!”

Diplomacy (Aid...Hervey?): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Skerdo just snorts. "Got nothing against this place. We're just looking for some info."

Tsafento bows low to the (surly) masked man in robes.
"سلامونه!"

diplomacy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 (phew!)

"We have the utmost respect for this sanctuary!"
"Some of my friends are somewhat … on edge"
"We were set upon some bandits on the way to find you."
"We are seeking information on a lost portal."
"We were told you know of such a thing."

Holding up a hand to forestall any further questions.
"I have but defenceless beggers here with the steel Wyverns due to visit in 2 hours. I may know of such a portal but I'll require your aid in driving these bandits off."

Teloish smiled "It would be my pleasure to help you with the bandits." he said, finding a place to take up guard duty.
Not sure if the stairs go up but if they​ do, stand at the end so I can get them as they climb.

"Indeed, if you will aid us in finding the portal we will assist you in defending against those rotten Steel Wyverns."

Skerdo chuckles. "Fine by me. I've got no particular love for Abadar, but I hate humans who act like orcs. Worst folk out there."

"We've already met some of the Steel Wyverns."
"I for one don't mind getting the better of them."

I'm in agreement as well. - says the monk.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

The almsman is grateful but not that you can tell by his mask, he chuckles as he looks at Vasilli.
"Perhaps we should get you into some dry robes. They're not much but at least better then what you have now."

I have placed your avatars in the chambers. Feel free to rearrange yourself. Once done i'll bring in your guests.

I've positioned myself

Skerdo spends the time remaining close to his fellow Pathfinders, though he'll speak amicably with any of the Abadarites who approach him. When the Steel Wyverns are due, though, he positions himself so that he has a clear line in which to charge the first one inside, if necessary.

Teloish took up a position behind Hervey to guard the entrance and keep a line open for Skerdo to join in the fun.

"A change would be most welcome, thank you. Very kind."

Vasilli tries to find somewhere inconspicuous to change, before taking up position with his companions.

Hervey taps himself with a wand then hunkers down near the entrance, his lash out and ready to strike.

I am using my wand of protection from evil when they come near. I will ready an attack too.

lash: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

As the party prepares themselves and get into position, it takes some time to wait but soon, you hear voices coming from outside the door as it's thrown wide open and you see a bunch of thugs.

"Time for you know what and where it goes!!!"

Tsafento will have a flask of Alchemist's Fire ready to throw at the door.

Skerdo won't interfere if the others launch attacks (in a surprise round), but he barks out, "Steel Wyverns! You're going to want to stand down and leave this place be, or things are going to get really unpleasant for you!"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

If the Wyverns appear to do anything other than drop their weapons and surrender, Skerdo immediately charges the one he has a route to!

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Charge: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

"Are you ready to explain your misdeeds to your Deity, face to face?" Teloish the Sly said with a smile as he stood ready at the top of the stairs.

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Combat reflexes#1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 171d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
I thought I forgot something

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

@GM: Please feel free to roll initiative for me in the future ;)

I had originally intended to see what the party would do and then roll intiative later.

Party may act first.

The lead thug laughs and the rest laughs along with him.
"I see someone is going to get hurt here." he brandishes his chain aggressively even as the rest of the thugs grin and smirk believing themselves with the upper hand.

Skerdo's Charge takes them all in surprise as he drops the lead in a single brutal slash!
The rest of them are stunned at this unexpected resistance!

Hervey steps up and slaps at the green thug with his lash.

damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Blue: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 121d10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Teloish raised the glaive up and then swiftly down at the thug in front of him.

Jomal tries to move fast and attack, hoping to catch one of the enemies surprised as well.

fire damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Moved Jomal so that he can hit someone.

The devasting assault by Skerdo is further amplified as both Jomal, Hervy and Teloish joins! The thugs are swiftl withered down to barely half their number!

Behind, the almsman eyes widens at the party's decisive strike while the injured beggers stare in admiration or fear once cannot tell....

Attack Orange: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 111d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Teloish tried to attack the closer foe but was not able to find an opening.

Jomal takes a five-foot-step and tries to fully against the closer enemy using his Sansetsukon.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 - 1 = 11
Damage: 1d10 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 3 = 12

Nice rolls Hervy!

Teloish fails to connect with his swing as his foot slips but Jomal and Hervy on the other hand are both sucessful! Leaving only one left!

Vasilli races forward, adjusting his loaned robes and muttering an arcane litany. The temperature in the room drops noticeably.

Snowball: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 vs. touch AC
Snowball: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4 and a fortitude save or be staggered for one round

Tsafento confirms no action during surprise and throwing to be his round 1 action?

@ nightdeath: that sounds about right.

Whoops, it's a DC 18 Fortitude save

That One Bad Guy 9/16
Round 1
Tsafento
Skerdo Cabeza de Vaca
Bold may act.

Fort Save 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Bad Guy moves, Provoking an AOO if any.
Do the party;
Let him flee OR
Pursue

The Combination of snowball and Fire sends the lone thug into a panic as he attempts to run though the effects from Vasilli's magical ice may be causing him some difficulties.

AoO: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 201d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Teloish took a swat at the bandit as it tried to run away.
Attack if I can reach him.

Round 2 (I think)
Tsafento runs out the door and shoots a fire ray at the fleeing thug:
fire ray: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 (point-blank shot)

Jomal lets his sansetsukon hang from its weapon cord, and limits himself to flurry the fleeing bandit with his rope dart.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Hervey watches the terrified thug splash his way away. "I don't think he will be back. Let him be."
