Pathfinders on the trail

Game Master ulgulanoth

"*cough**ack**sputter*" Andando chokes down the potion and takes a hand up from Lia.

"That was pleasant" he says shooting everyone a slightly pained winning smile.

4/15 hp

Aerodus rolls his eyes. "You okay to get up?"

Jirani offers the rogue a wink back She says 'not yet'
Keeping his bow at the ready Jirani also continues to keep a look out as the group moves.

percep: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Andando rolls his eyes right back at the ranger, "I'm up."

He looks around at Jirani's wink before it dawns on him. With a shudder, "You can tell her not ever if I can help it, thank you very much, or at least not until I'm a hundred and can die in soft bed, with my partners around me and a belly full of wine."

Lia quirks an eyebrow.

"Um... did I miss something?"

Her eyes widen as it dawns on her. "Oh--Pharasma. Never mind."

Venator touches Andando again, pronouncing a quick prayer in the celestial language. Celestial "Ó estrela-guia de nossos sonhos, cure o aliado deste servo que serve a liberdade!"

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Again, the Chelish ranger rolls his eyes at Andando. "Pfft. Right."

Jirani and Aerodus

Aerodus

Aerodus points to the right tunnel. "That way. The mark indicates that tunnel." He frowns. "Also, there's a pack of large rats surrounded by a lot of smaller ones. No doubt we must fight them."

Lia nods, an arcane incantation coming to mind. Her sword stops glowing, its light and arcane enhancement fading away.

Is it a rat swarm blocking our way or just a bunch of individual rats?

"Can't we avoid it throwing them some kind of food? It will save us time! Some rations, maybe?"

Make a knowledge nature check for Venator's question

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Aerodus

KNo Nat: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 WOW

Jirani feebly shrugs, unsure of what else to say on the matter.

Great, NOBODY knows anything about the rats up ahead... XD

Jirani read Aerodus' spoiler

I have been trained in secret locations by mysterious cabals to face the threats of this world. I am part of a unique few of the faithful, tasked with fighting that which normal men and women do not dare to understand. My wisdom is keen and insightful lending to me almost supernatural abilities to determine the weakness of my foes....but uh....that right there...it uh....looks like some rats? Maybe...um hungry ones?

I have trained myself in archery from a young age. I've learned to survive in the Varisian wilderness, to track anything down, and to be more efficient against my chosen enemies over a span of two years. I have evaded the Hellknights. But... rats? Eh. Even though, I should know, I really don't. Probably from a lack of interest. Learning about rats interrupts my brooding time.

Aerodus frowns. "All I know is that they look hungry. Give me a bit, and I could figure something out. Unless you want to just try and take them out." He stares intently at the rats.

If I can make another Knowledge (nature) check...: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Venator loads his crossbow. "Well, I'm ready! Let's used our ranged options to our advantage!"

Aerodus

Jirani nods at the cleric and readies his bow, looking to the others to see if there are any other ideas to be considered.

Lia cringes and readies her incantation.

"I'm ready!" says the man, maintaining his aim at one of the creatures.

Aerodus frowns. "Hmph. It'll take a sack of food to distract them. If we do that, though, it'll only attract more." He draws his arrow and aims for the largest, most threatening rat. "I'm ready!"

Readied action:

Attack!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Damage?: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

right so are we waiting for Andando to get ready before letting fly a volley of arrows?

Seems like it.

Alright well then I guess we should get things going
Venator misses the rat
Jirani hits a rat and kills it
Aerodus hits a rat and wounds it

Rat will saves

Initiatives
Aerodus 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Andando 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Jirani 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Lia 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
Venator 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

So one rat is blind and stunt for 2d4 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4 rounds and then stunned for 1d4 ⇒ 1 but the other rats seem unaffected

And initiative order will be Aerodus and Jirani followed by Lia then Andando then rat swarm then Venator then Dire rats

So Aerodus and Jirani your turn

Jirani makes sure to leave space for those who would be in melee, focusing on the individual giant rats. As he draws and looses an arrow he focuses his mind to connect with his divine power and channels his goddesses' power to aid him in his fight

Swift Action - Judgement - Piercing (+1 Dam)

Fire at nearest individual rat: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Damage?: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Jirani hits and kills another rat

Using a Full-round to make a full attack

Aerodus smirks as he hits one of the rats, his blood demanding the enemy's own life force. He draws another arrow and fires it at the same rat.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 2 = 16 If it's within 30 feet, then this becomes 17.
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4 If it's within 30 feet, then this becomes 5.

He then draws another one of his arrows and fires it at the other dire rat.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 - 2 = 15 If it's within 30 feet, then this becomes 16.
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8 If it's within 30 feet, then this becomes 9.

I keep forgetting I have Wild Empathy. Maybe because Aerodus hasn't had a reason to use it before. Next animal we encounter, Wild Empathy.

Aerodus manages to kill the rat he had wounded and then with another shot, kill another one

Round 1: Actions
Swift Action: Use Arcana Point for blade enhancement!
Standard Action: Ready Action: Attack Rat Swarm if it comes near me!

Lia groans in disappointment as almost all the rats shake off her color spray spell. She twirls her hand around the hilt of her sword, causing the blade to glow blue.

She adopts a fighting stance, her blade readied to strike with both hands at the oncoming swarm of rats.

Readied Attack! (Arcane Enhancement): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Readied Damage (Arcane Enhancement, Slashing, 2-handed): 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Right since it seems Andando has disappeared its the rat swarm's turn, they swarm near Lia
Lia hits the swarm killing quite a few rats but then the rats start biting her legs and she takes 1d6 ⇒ 3 damage

Lia roll a fort save

and then its Venator's turn

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Do I go before Venator? Either way Jirani will shoot...

attack
: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Well technically its Venator then dire rats then Jirani and Aerodus, though the last dire rat is now pretty much out of the combat

I think I managed to condos our order with the last combat, sorry. Early start, no coffee when i posted ;)

-Posted with Wayfinder

Venator dashes past the group and directly inside the swarm. He tries to get far enough from Lia so his ability would not hit her, but in the worst case it's better than the diseased rats.

Then he unleashes a flash of sparks all around him, damaging all the creatures within 5 feet with electricity!
"Lightning Flash!" Link
Lightning damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6 +50% at the swarm since it's an area effect. Reflex 14 for half damage of those who need to.

Reflex Save (If Needed): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

Highly doubt this is needed on my end, but, Reflex Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Aerodus manages to barely dodge. "Hey! Watch it!" He drops his bow and draws his longsword. He prepares to strike when the swarm gets closer.

So Lia and the rats get electrocuted and then the remaining rats are killed by Jirani and Aerodus

"Sorry Lia, I didn't have any other option, but that usually works. The electricity circles around me, so it would hit all of those rats. Are you all right?" How many hit points do you need right now?

Lia doesn't respond to Venator's question, instead stumbling against the wall of the sewers. Her arms and legs tremble and twitch, and her hair is only beginning to settle down.

She's also very red-faced and avoiding meeting anyone's gaze.

"I... can't feel my fingers..."
I need 9 HP.

Venator waits until they are far from the dead rats to channel energy. "Sorry, let me tend to your wounds then."
Channel: 1d6 ⇒ 6 I'll save my last spell to use during battles.

Jirani exhales sharply as the adrenaline wears off, A surprising tactic but uh...effective? Jirani offers a sympathetic frown at the magus.

Aerodus sheathes his blade and picks up his bow. Turning to Lia, he walks to her and offers his support. "Come on. You're all right." Well, his brand of support, anyways. He helps her upright, ignoring the minor sparks coming from her. Hearing her say that she can't feel her fingers, his hands cup her fingers, doing what he can to generate some feeling. "Better?

Lia nods slightly as Aerodus holds her fingers, but she doesn't look up, even when Venator's healing fixes her injuries from the lightning.

She waves her free hand and mutters another incantation, focusing it on herself. It doesn't do much, because of the sewers, but it does start to remove a suspicious-looking dark spot on the front of her pants.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Heh, heh.

While not a magic user, Aerodus had trained himself to recognize magic. Noticing the dark spot on her pants disappear, Aerodus recognizes it a prestidigitation spell. He looks at Lia with a raised brow, letting her know that he saw. He then moves away bow still out, searching the area.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 vs human subtype: 28
