PbP GameDay 2: PFS 05-07 Port Godless (5-9) with GM Derek W (Inactive)

Game Master Derek Weil

Jalrgur stands panting, leaning against a wall for a couple minutes before standing and looking around. "Well done Darius! I see my friend Ezrek the Alchemist was not exaggerating when he described your prowess." Looking to his companions, he says. "Did anyone manage to get injured in this....melee?"

He then helps the party search the areas.

General Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 +1 for traps

He then joins Nahlah at the southern door, giving a look of questioning. Anything?

Door Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 +1 for traps

Fendahl will keep watch at the steps and pocket the whistle.

"Hrrmm, they were up to no good here. No telling what they gave going on upstairs.

I am assuming that the manacled person is not one of our missing 4.

"Well that was intense.. Lets check out what the caster chick had and then move on.."

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35 Just in case..
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24

"Exrek eh? Haven't seen that guy in a while.. What's he up to these days?"

Kale keeps her blade out, ready for trouble. She has a pout on her face as she begins to check the doors along the corridor. Weary of any traps, she moves slowly.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Kale's careful search reveals that all the doors are safe to open, but that all are locked. she thinks she can hear very soft sounds coming from behind most of them.

Darius looks through the Blackfire Adept's things, finding a bounty of items.

He also finds a set of keys on her body, perhaps to the doors on this floor?

The woman on the table is a Garundi woman with tattoos on the backs of her hands. Her tongue has been cut out, which she indicates when Kynrac tries to speak to her. she does appear grateful for the healing.

Heal check to see what you can do to help her.

"Well well.. It seems the Adept here was well geared.. Someone search the Xill.. Ill take the arcane stuff unless yall want any of it.. The rod, potion, cloak, and heaband i have no use for.. Im gonna use this clairaudience wand to getting a better look upstairs.. Perhaps we should release these prisoners and have them go out the tunnel as well.."

The spell states an obvious locale, upstairs seems obvious to me so ill give it a try..

While the rest of the crew search around etc., Darius will use the Wand of Clair to get a look upstairs.. Using all seven charges to get a good look at the place..

UMD: 7d20 ⇒ (8, 2, 13, 5, 20, 12, 12) = 72 All are good..

He'll move down and around to help Nahlah as well.. Detecting Magic as he goes..

Take 10 Perc for a 21

Heal: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Kyrnac takes a moment to see if anything can be done to help the poor woman.

Fendahl will lend a hand with the heal check

"Such barbarism!"

heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 assist Kynrac

Kyrac and Fendahl between them work out that either fully healing the woman's hit points or casting Lesser Restoration will help her tongue recover enough to speak.

Kynrac heals the poor woman with a lesser restoration.

As Kale proceeds down the southern hallway, she hears loud crashing and smashing sounds coming from the door on the northern wall. Then, she hears a loud SLAM! against the door.

Rounds: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Darius tries the wand, but before he can really focus, the door is smashed open!

You see the figure of a brown, shaggy-furred beast standing on slate grey hooves. Its head resembles that of a maniacal horned ape. Kale sees a second beast inside the room!

Knowledge Planes (DC 16) to ID it. 21+ to get some useful info.

Round 1:
Kale <<
Fendahl <<
Jarlgur <<
Nahlah <<
Darius <<
Kynrac <<

creatures

After the Blackfire girl, Sophini, died, these creatures go bananas in 1d4 rounds. I'm going to say that you had enough time to search the bodies, etc. And Kynrac got his restoration spell cast, but I probably should have done it sooner. Close enough, I hope! And you guys just officially won initiative. So these monsters are boned. Anyone may act!

KN: planes: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

planes: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

May I change Jarlgur's position? I had him over at the door with Nahlah.

Know Planes: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23

Knowledge (Planes): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Hearing the loud slam, Kynrac hurries to join his comrades, just whispering "Stay put, we'll be back." to her fellow Riftwarden-

Double move towards the loud noise.

You may move Jarlgur.

The creatures are ceustodaemons. They have DR 10/good or silver and are Immune to: acid, death effects, disease, mind-affecting effects, paralysis, poison, polymorph effects, and sleep effects.

With that in hand, please post your actions!

Once Nahlah hears their weaknesses from her allies, she steps back and activates a versatile weapon enchantment on her blade.

Fendahl and Kirrah will move up towards the new room, bow drawn and watching the stairs for any newcomers.

"Hrrmm, you know what they say about the company you keep. This pair says it all.. "

was haste up or down?.

Down.. What is the purple circle btw?

Darius moves to get LoS to the back nasty and then casts Bladed Dash defensively and charges him.. Ending in a 2 handed slice..

Attack: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (5) + 22 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18

AC 30

The purple circle represents a large candle made of black wax. It is currently unlit. Darius, I am not entirely confident on how bladed dash works (it doesn't say you *can't* move through an occupied square,so I'm not going to rule otherwise). Are you hitting him with your +1 scimitar? Any other enhancements on the blade at present? Its a hit, but that DR is going to be a real pain...

Jalgur retrieves a flask from his bandolier and applies an oil to his greataxe!

Oil of Bless Weapon

Upon review, Dancing Blades requires a straight line movement. The only legal stright line move from the hallway is due north. since you can't begin the spell in the same space as a foe, you must start in the hallway. And cutting diagonally across a corner is not a legal move, to my knowledge. You could legally move behind the closer daemon. Heck, from there you'd even give your allies a flanking bonus. Next turn you could full attack the close one or 5' step to full attack the back one.

Upon seeing the creature Kale acts instantly, rushing headlong even before hearing what they are. Trying to dart past the first creature and get deeper into the room.

As they have not acted yet I assume they count as flat-footed? Acrobatics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
Kale swings her blade in an elegant strike, an curious mixture of offence and defense.
Combat Expertise w/ Power Attack w/ Fighting Defensively: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

AC 29

Thats fine.. And it had only been a few rounds since the Xill combat so his weapon is still +4 keen.. Swinging 2 handed would also be another 5 damage from the above roll..

Yes, they'll be flat footed for your action Kale.

Dairus and Kale mvoe like lightning and strike at the closer daemon! Both land solid blows, but Darius' loses a little of its effectiveness, not hurting the thing as much as it should.

The near beast steps back and unleashes a gale of fiery breath! The purple candle bursts into flame as Kale is engulfed!

Damage: 6d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 6, 4, 1, 2) = 20

DC 17 Reflex save for half damage

The farther creature steps over, clawing and biting at Darius!

Claw 1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Claw 2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Bite: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

But it can't land a solid hit!

Cuestodaemon 1: 31 damage taken
Cuestodaemon 2: unharmed

Group is up!

Kynrac finally arrives (double move again).

If im not msitake the Daemon's have DR 10/Good or Silver and a +4 weapon certainly counts as silver for DR purposes..

Darius 5' steps over to the uninjured one and changes that for him..

Using Spellstrike/Spell Combat with Arcane Mark..

Attack 1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33
Attack 2: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14
Spellstrike: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30

Confirm Attack 1: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (4) + 22 = 26

Damage 1: 1d6 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21
Damage SS: 1d6 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22
Damage Crit: 1d6 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19

You are correct. Forgive me, I had yet to play with or GM for a character using a +3 weapon. This is my first 5-9 as a GM and I've done 1 7-11...So the first daemon has taken 41 damage!

Nahlah yells a battle cry, steps up and strikes. Provoking

1d20 + 13 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 4 + 2 = 35
2d4 + 14 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2) + 14 + 4 = 23

Jarlgur darts past Nahlah and swings at the nearest demon while flying into a rage.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Damage: 1d12 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Fendahl, seeing that his allies have things well in hand in the room, will keep his bow ready and watches the stairs for any new arrivals.

Reflex DC 17 : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Kale is caught in the full fury of the flames, as she is unable to avoid any of it.

Round 2 Kale continues her forward momentum the elegance of her style radically shifting to full offense.

Power Attacking: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28 Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Power Attacking: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
AC 26

Darius' mighty attack *nearly* fells the beast. It's clearly on its last legs now, but remains alive.

Nahlah moves in to attack, but the daemon swipes first with its claw!

Claw: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
Damage?: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Please just tell me if it hits. Your stat line was a bit confusing.

Nahlah does get her blow to land, but much of the effect is blunted. Jarlgur rushes in, but cannot connect.

Kale's first slash *nearly* rends the beast from head to toe. But her second swipe does not connect, and so the beast fights on, looking just as wounded as its partner!

Cuestodaemon 1: 61 damage taken
Cuestodaemon 2: 62 damage taken

One creature attacks Darius, the other lashes out at Kale!

v. Darius

Claw #1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Claw#2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Bite: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Darius weathers the furious attack without damage.

v. Kale

Claw #1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Claw#2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
Bite: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Only a single claw manages to scratch Kale's cheek.

Party is up! One hit on each should do it!

My versatile weapon was to make my blade count as silver, so it should punch through the DR; sorry, forgot to say what type it was. It will last 7 minutes, in case it comes up again

Nahlah swings twice at her hated foe!
to-hit: 1d20 + 13 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 13 + 4 + 2 = 32
damage: 2d4 + 14 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 14 + 4 + 2 = 27
to-hit: 1d20 + 6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 4 + 2 = 27
damage: 2d4 + 14 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 14 + 4 + 2 = 26

Jarlgur swings, poorly, at whichever daemon may be standing.

Attack, PA: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 - 2 = 9
Damage: 1d12 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Thanks for the update Nahlah! That actually means the near demon is dead!

As the first demon falls to Kale's mighty blow, Nahlah closes on the second creature and finishes it.

Provided Nahlah's ceustadaemon falls...

... Kynrac rushes into the room to heal Kale's wounds. As he summons the spirits of time past and have them rewind time on the fighter's scarred flesh.

Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 2) + 6 = 16

"Hrrmm, good blade work. The presence of such beasts only confirms our suspicions of this group and their intent with our missing brethren. I wonder where the four are held and if anyone upstairs heard the scuffle. "

Fendahl keeps watch on the stairs...

Stemming his rage, Jarlgur begins examining the room. "Does anyone require more healing?"

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Kynrac studies the room carefully, empowering his sight with magic auras vision. Casting detect magic.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Nahlah spits in frustration at the nearest ceustodaemon corpse, as though wishing there were more to slay. "Whelp of Lamashtu" She wipes her blade of blood.

Kale cleans her blade, but keeps it out and at the ready. She gives Kynrac a thankful nod at at receiving the healing.

Since it dies when i struck it, did I take the claw damage?

Fendahl will cast a clw on Kale if she was still injured.

clw : 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Yeah, no damage! Trying trying to keep things sorted...

Kynrac and Jarlgur take a quick look around the room.

Several racks of weapons occupy the center of this room, though several have been knocked over, scattering spears and swords across the floor. Suits of armor line the wall, and a small table in one corner bears several tools for repairing and maintaining arms and armor as well as a lone candle made of purple wax.

Among the weapons and armor are five masterwork scimitars, a +1 silver longspear, and +1 full plate. you find the broken pieces of a staff and a small lump of silver.

Just a few seconds after the Pathfinders dispatch the daemons (1 round later) another pair wink into "existence" (they just dimension doored here), one at each end of the hallway!

You guys are up! I expect this to go poorly for the daemons once again...

Nahlah yells an ululation in joy as she moves towards the nearest foe and strike with her falchion.

Come Lamashtu, send all your children against me. I will die happy in battle!

She provokes moving in
1d20 + 13 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 13 + 4 = 32
2d4 + 14 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3) + 14 + 4 = 24

Darius moves back into the hallway and uses the wand of mirror image..

Images: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

He then awaits the Deamons approach..

Did i get anything from the uses of Clairaudience/voyance? Or did he not get a chance to use them yet?

Mostly a time thing. You may have had enough time to cast the first one, but not really enough to get a look. You'll get a chance soon, though.

Jarlgur moves into the hall and readies an attack for when the demon closes.

Readied Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 2 = 19
Damage: 1d12 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
