[PFS] Your Blood Under Absalom (Inactive)

Game Master Yours is mined

Unlike with the exited dragon Bruiser, Rika and Pratts’ initial attacks on Red fail to connect. The new monk seems strangely shaken by Rika’s words though …

"And you is still too weak"

“AM NOT!” She huffs.

1. Red
2. Mido, Valjoen, Rika + Pratts, Mariel, Jillia, Manius

Mido, Val, Mariel, Jillia & Manius are up!

Battle Map!

Whatever she's doing was obviously working, so Mariel keeps up flashing her blade in an impressive display of blurring steel. "ఫార్వర్డ్! కలిసి మేము అన్స్టాపబుల్ ఉన్నారు!"

"You're better than Bruise but still worse than Jill
If my homey-no-oni don't beat you you can bet I will." Jillia lashes out figuratively before lashing out literally.

Spending a swift and a panache to double precise strike on the first hit.

Manius walks around to set up another flank and close of an avenue of escape for the new arrival and swings his falchion in the hope that it will connect

dmg: 2d8 + 17 ⇒ (1, 8) + 17 = 26
50% miss chance, hi is good in d20 games: 1d100 ⇒ 93

Red snarks like a teen as Manius’ blow fans her face. “Great … another Hellknight …”

Mariel inspires Jillia to drive her short sword straight through Red's head! Or rather, where Red's head was half a second ago.

"You're better than Bruise.”

“Damn straight!”

“… but still worse than Jill”

Red replies innocently, “Who’s Jill? Someone you know who can fight?”

1d20 ⇒ 5

Master Mido’s creativity is enough to keep Red occupied for six whole seconds!

Round #2:

1. Red (loses Round 2 turn)

Valjoen: 46/61 hp

Monk Killers up!

Battle Map!

Manius twirls around gracefully.....well gracefully for someone in fullplate made out a very heavy metal, maybe it's best described as a slow turn while building up speed since mass provides momentum and as he "gracefully" twirls he tries to connect his falchion twice to the surrounded enemy

To hit AC: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 1 + 2 = 34 (bless+flank)

Rika exceeded by the excessive verbiage attempts to decapitate the talkative monk as Pratts tries to rip her face off.

+1 Adamantine No-Dashi vs Talks-a-Lot, Flanking (Outflank), Power Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 4 - 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 4 - 2 + 1 + 2 = 21

Talon damage (Precise Strike): 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (2) + 1 = 8

After inspired her allies with a display of elegant swordsmanship, Mariel decides it's time that she proves her weapon isn't just for show. Unhindered by all the chatter around her (which sounds like the blowing wind to her ears), she moves opposite Mido. She thinks her aim is true, but feels that her sword doesn't connect.

"Yeah, someone I know who can fight," Jillia cracks back, hopeful her name is last thing this monk remembers before she cuts her down.

Best displacement, heh.

Out of Ki but still armed with chill touch

Mido can no longer find any more words of confusion but still has dark necromantic powers with which he attempts to infuse the feale monk.

Valjoen lands a mighty blow! But Manius suffers from Jillia’s ill luck, cleaving through Red’s position in the wrong time stream.

Pratts has more luck than his mistress, but only his bite sinks into the monk’s flesh.

The others all miss as well.

Red looks about her and settles on taking out Mido with fist and knee.

“You like that?” She then steps 5' to the north.

Party up!

Jillia tumbles around the backside of the lady to cut off her retreat, and stabs at one of the many afterimages.

Acrobatics v. AoO: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

Short Sword, Power Attack, Flank: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 14

Gotta aim for where she's going to be, Jillia, she tells herself.

“Where are you going, my pretty?”

Red attempts a roundhouse kick on Jillia

Still having build up momentum Manius has trouble slowing down from his spin so he just decides to continue spinning and hope for the best.

The Pathfinders all miss Red for various reasons, when Valjoen dashes around to flank with Rika.

"You try and use what nature has give you. Nature has make you weak"

"So weak that I knocked out your gnome friend."

Red holds up her clenched fists for Rika to see. “Using these natural gifts.”

Mido & Mariel!

Battle Map!

Mariel gives the woman a half-hearted parting shot before retreating. She gives Mido a worried look and wants to reassure him. unfortunately, he'll have to take "Chirp chirp, chirp" for the moment. She shrugs apologetically.

Mariel also misses after casting a concerned eye in Mido’s direction. The disabled gnome stands where he is blinking his huge eyes.

Red flexes her fingers and tests Pratts out this time.

..and spinning and spinning, getting dizzy and effecting his aim...a lot

"You've wasted enough time!" Jillia shouts, her smile incongrous with the frustration in her voice as tries again to time a strike on the constantly-shifting monk.

Rika rushes her exposed backside as Pratts goes for her jugular. "Like I said. Weak."

Rika skewers Red through the back and out below her sternum. The tiefling lifts the screaming monk, positioning her directly over Pratts, like a dog-owner teasing her pet with a tasty morsel.

Pratts takes the bait, making the short vertical leap to close his jaws around Red’s throat until her throttled screams are finally silenced.

We are out of combat.

An eerie calm settles over the battlefield, as if every Pathfinder present is waiting for something …

***OVERSEER POST***

Please see the following post

Mariel stands stunned for a while in the eerie silence. Even though her voice has returned, she can't find her voice at first... "This... It's... We really did it? It's over?" She then quickly hustles to Mido, to lend him some much-needed healing. With that taken care of, she rejoins her group. "So, are we actually going to Goka? You think we're ready?" She looks doubtful.

--

Thanks everyone for playing, and GM Yours foremost for making this a blast to play. I must say, I hadn't expected Mariel's curse to be quite so stifling for my roleplaying in combat; it's quite another thing to be able to whistle at the table and pantomime what I meant. Luckily we had some people who invested in Celestial. :)

Mido rises slowly and apparently quite ashamed about not having passed the masters test.

This one still has much to learn yet...

"Of course were going to Goka. Were the best!" Jillia proclaims, raising her fist celabratorily and offering four-foot-three-inch high-fives to everyone in the general vicinity.

Thanks to the GM, and to the rest of you guys; a great time was had by me, quite certainly. Much appreciated, all around.

As Manius stops spinning he looks confused

" ..we won?"
