PbP GameDay 3: PFS 03-02 Sewer Dragons of Absalom (3-7) (Inactive)

Game Master Andrew Trexler

Fort Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Round 1

Azdak moves to the corner and quickly moves his hands in somatic gestures. He finishes casting magic missile with the words, "Sihirli Füze!". Three bolts of force make there way unerringly to the red kobold.

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Darro and Rhydderch both hold their breath and move forward, ignoring the swooning sensation that threatens to overwhelm them. Darro gets off an arrow that punches into the kobold on the left-hand stairs (now marked red).

Re: Blackthorn, that's fine.

Azdak moves into the rotting cloud and... Fort save!

Rikas is up!

Round I
Master: stink bomb
Darro (Blackthorn nauseated): move and shoot
Rhydderch: double move
Azdak: magic missile Fort save needed!

Tarri @ 38/40hp (Hugo 38/39hp, nauseated):
Guards:
Li @ 21/26hp:

Azdak: I need a Fort save against the stink before you can cast your spell.

Fort Save was made in the previous post. Is 16 high enough?

So it was! Didn't see it above the Round header. 16 is the magic number!

...fires off three missiles of pure force, which thud satisfyingly into the lefthand kobold!

Rikas!

Round I
Master: stink bomb
Darro (Blackthorn nauseated): move and shoot

Li @ 21/26hp:

Rikas steps out of the cloud and, seeing the kobolds, grins as he flings a dagger at the eastern one.

Dagger!: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 1 - 2 = 17
1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

Unperturbed by the tiefling's row of teeth, the kobold ducks.

Tarri is up!

Round I
Master: stink bomb
Darro (Blackthorn nauseated): move and shoot
Rhydderch: double move
Azdak: magic missile

Tarri @ 38/40hp (Hugo 38/39hp, nauseated): CURRENT
Guards:
Li @ 21/26hp:

Nothing from Tarri or aliases in a while...

The kobolds on the stairs fire their crossbows at Darro and Rikas, quickly reloading afterwards. Rikas dodges his bolt, but Darro takes one in the gut. Pulling it out, he sees that it was coated in a sticky green substance... Fort save!

Bolt @ Darro: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30 CRIT THREAT Confirm: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 CRITICAL Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 2) + 2 = 9 plus make a Fort save!
Bolt @ Rikas: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20 MISS

Li is up!

Round I
Master: stink bomb
Darro @ 50/59hp (Blackthorn nauseated): move and shoot
Rhydderch: double move
Azdak: magic missile
Rikas @ 57/59hp: miss
(Tarri @ 38/40hp (Hugo 38/39hp, nauseated): CURRENT)
Guards: shoot
Li @ 21/26hp: CURRENT

Darro pulls the bolt carefully out of his torso and ...Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30 and manages to withstand whatever vile coating the bolt held.

Tarri urges the retching owlbear through the stink and looses an arrow at the kobold that just took three missiles of force.

Longbow Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23
Longbow Damage Primary: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Tarri's arrow finds its mark! Hugo keeps vomiting for a while though. 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 more rounds, to be precise. Same for Blackthorn.

Li!

Round I Update
Master: stink bomb
Darro @ 50/59hp (Blackthorn nauseated): move and shoot
Rhydderch: double move
Azdak: magic missile
Rikas @ 57/59hp: miss
Tarri @ 38/40hp (Hugo 38/39hp, nauseated): hit!
Guards: shoot
Li @ 21/26hp: CURRENT

Li takes a deep breath and sprints through the cloud, past his allies and into the room.

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 Uh-0h.

Li manages to cough his way through (though not as far with the nauseated condition) but comes up vomiting on the other side. 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 more rounds of nauseated.

The kobold clinging upside down from the ceiling tosses another object the party's way, this time aiming for Darro. Frost Bomb (Touch): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 MISS 1d8 ⇒ 2 Unused to the odd angle, the kobold misses with his bomb--and it explodes just a few feet away, catching Tarri, Hugo, Rikas, and Darro in the explosive, freezing splash.

Cold Damage: 6 = 6 to each. DC 16 Reflex for half. Some of you have resistances to please make the save first then tell me the total damage.

Darro is up! Rhydderch and Azdak will need to make saves against the cloud at the start of their turn.

Round II
Master: frost bomb
Darro @ 50/59hp (Blackthorn nauseated): CURRENT Reflex save!
Rhydderch:
Azdak:
Rikas @ 57/59hp:Reflex save!
Tarri @ 38/40hp (Hugo 38/39hp, nauseated): Reflex save! (Hugo too!)
Guards:
Li @ 21/26hp, nauseated:

Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
No damage since evasion :-)

Darro tries to jump out of the way of the cold attack and...REF: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16 manages to dodge the majority of the attack. His celestial heritage protects from the rest Cold DR5
Now a little ticked off Darro aims at the clinging upside down
Longbow Rapid 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
Longbow Rapid 2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16
not deadly aiming, not sure if we want to kill this one who may be important
if they hit
damage 1: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
damage 2: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

he also takes a five foot step out of the doorway.

No harm comes to Rikas or Darro from the bomb! Sadly, Darro's shots have even less effect: neither even comes close.

Rhydderch! Azdak! Rikas! Tarri! In the interest of finishing before the end of the month, don't worry so much about init order.

Round II
Master: frost bomb
Darro @ 50/59hp (Blackthorn nauseated): miss
Rhydderch: CURRENT
Azdak: CURRENT
Rikas @ 57/59hp: CURRENT
Tarri @ 38/40hp (Hugo 38/39hp, nauseated): CURRENT Reflex save! (Hugo too!)
Guards:
Li @ 21/26hp, nauseated:

Rikas moves up to the kobold on the stairs and brandishes a dagger, though he goes straight for the kobold's neck with a large chomp! His show is simply that and he misses horribly!
Bite!: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Round II

Once again, Azdak quickly moves his hands in somatic gestures. He finishes casting magic missile with the words, "Sihirli Füze!". Three bolts of force make there way unerringly to the red kobold.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4, 2) + 3 = 10

Tarri guides Hugo to the bottom of the stairs and then lets loose with three arrows at the kobold at the top of the stairs.

Tarri Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 - Tarri takes half, no resistance
Hugo Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 - Hugo takes nothing because of evasion

Longbow Attack Primary: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
Longbow Damage Primary: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Longbow Attack Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Longbow Damage Rapid Shot: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Longbow Attack Iterative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Longbow Damage Iterative: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Azdak is still in the cloud, and so needs a Fort save before anything else happens: Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 FAIL

Azdak prepares to send missiles flying, but makes the poor decision to take a breath is overcome by waves of nausea. Nauseated condition. You can move at half speed instead of your spell.

I'm assuming Tarri aims for the injured one. Tarri takes aim and scores two hits, which was one too many for the kobold--the body comes tumbling down the stairs. Rikas, unfortunately, has less luck with the other.

Rhydderch! Fort save first.

Round II

Guards:
Li @ 21/26hp, nauseated:

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Rhydderch rushes by his comrades and engages the westernmost foe. Double Move

My bad, Rhydderch! In my haste I forgot to delete that from the map: that kobold is dying on the steps. I'll keep your double move unless you say otherwise (you can get across the loft next turn and flank w/Rikas).

Azdak!

The remaining ground-based kobold drops its crossbow and engages Rikas with all its natural assets, but the crafty tiefling is too quick to be caught.

Claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 MISS
Claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 MISS
Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 MISS

Azdak, Li!

Li @ 21/26hp, nauseated: CURRENT

Round III

Being nauseated, Azdak grasps his stomach and moves into the room, trying to find cleaner air to breath.

Being nauseated, Azdak did only a move action per the rules, but if he is out of the area of effect and no longer nauseated, he will quickly cast magic missile on the blue kobold.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4, 3) + 3 = 12

The nausea stays with you for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 more rounds.

Li abandons all pretense of Zen calm and hurls his guts out.

The alchemist on the ceiling continues the shoot-out with Darro and hurls another bomb. Touch: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 HIT Damage (Cold): 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 4, 3) + 3 = 16 plus a DC 16 Fort save or be staggered for your next turn.

Everybody but Li!

Round III

Tarri @ 35/40hp (Hugo 38/39hp, nauseated 1 round): CURRENT
Guard: miss
Li @ 21/26hp, nauseated 1 round:

FORT: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 DR5 to Cold

Darro will once again aim at the kobold on the ceiling
Longbow Rapid1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21...damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Longbow Rapid2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14...damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Azdak sees Li Shuo hurl his guts and cannot help but upchuck himself. He then moves as far away as possible while staying out of the noxious fumes.

Once again, neither shot from Darro even comes close; Azdak's aim is much better, but he's aiming for the floor so it's not terribly difficult.

Rhydderch, Rikas, Tarri!

Round III

Guard: miss
Li @ 21/26hp, nauseated 1 round: (vomits)

"These creatures do not fight with honor." Rhydderch states mater of factly while dropping his sword and drawing his bow.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17, Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

GM did you take into account Darro's DR5 Cold on that frost bomb?

I did, yes. 16 damage became 11 damage.

Rikas stabs at the kobold in front of him... or does he???

Feint: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24 DC 10+BAB+Wis/Sense Motive

Rhydderch shoots at who?, but his shot goes wide. Rikas bunts a low strike that forces the kobold to defend at nothing, leaving it vulnerable and off-balance.

Tarri!

Round III
Master: frost bomb
Darro @ 39/59hp (Blackthorn nauseated 1 round): miss
Rhydderch: miss
Azdak nauseated 2 rounds: vomits
Rikas @ 57/59hp: feint
Tarri @ 35/40hp (Hugo 38/39hp, nauseated 1 round): CURRENT
Guard: miss
Li @ 21/26hp, nauseated 1 round: (vomits)

Tarri rides Hugo to the top of the stairs and into the room above, she takes aim at the kobold on the ceiling, firing 3 arrows.

Longbow Attack Primary: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Longbow Damage Primary: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Longbow Attack Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
Longbow Damage Rapid Shot: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Longbow Attack Iterative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Longbow Damage Iterative: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Tarri's arrows are for naught; all three are easily dodged by the kobold with preternatural speed. The remaining guard on the stairs goes after Rikas again with its teeth and claws, managing the chomp on an arm with the final strike.

Claw @ Rikas: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 MISS
Claw @ Rikas: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 MISS
Bite @ Rikas: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 HIT Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Li continues vomiting copiously (presumably).

The crafty Dragon above sends another bomb splashing icily all over Darro. Frost Bomb (Touch): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21 HIT Damage: 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1, 6) + 3 = 14 plus another DC 16 Fort or be staggered.

Guard:
Li @ 21/26hp:

Wincing at the bite, Rikas reels back and sends the dagger into the kobold's belly, thought he kobold likely thought he was going for an overhead thrust.

Dagger: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
1d4 + 1 + 4d8 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (4, 4, 6, 5) = 22

"It's easier if you don't struggle."

51/59 HP

The tiefling's dagger bites deeeeep into the kobold's stomach. It definitely wouldn't survive another one of those.

Darro, Rhydderch, Tarri!

Round IV

Darro @ 30/59hp: CURRENT Fort save!

Guard:
Li @ 21/26hp:

Darro attempts to steady himself...FORT: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28.. succeeds. He calls for Blackthorn to come to his side, takes a 5 foot to the side and sends 2 more arrows at the kobold on the ceiling...Longbow Rapid 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25..for..Arrow 1: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12Longbow Rapid 2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20..for..Arrow 2: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"Oi, quick are ye. Have some more!" Tarri shouts.

Longbow Attack Primary: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Longbow Damage Primary: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Longbow Attack Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
Longbow Damage Rapid Shot: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Longbow Attack Iterative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Longbow Damage Iterative: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Darro and Tarri send a veritable storm of arrows towards the ceiling, but the kobold dodges every single one--well, almost. Tarri's second shot strikes true, drawing a thin trickle of blood. This guy has the highest AC of any creature I have ever seen at this level.

Rhydderch!

Round IV
Master: frost bomb
Darro @ 30/59hp: miss
Rhydderch: CURRENT

Guard:
Li @ 21/26hp:

Rhydderch will shoot another arrow into the ceiling.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Rhydderch's arrow isn't even acknowledged. The guard on the stairs curses in Draconic, hissing that the dagger in its gut, and goes after Rikas again. One poison-tipped claw breaks skin, as does the kobold's sharp tooth.

Claw @ Rikas: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 MISS
Claw @ Rikas: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 HIT Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 plus a Fort save!
Bite @ Rikas: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 HIT Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Li is up!

Rikas @ 38/59hp: dagger! Fort save!
Tarri @ 35/40hp (Hugo 38/39hp): one hit!
Guard: attacks Rikas
Li @ 21/26hp: CURRENT

His stomach at last calm again, Li takes careful aim and opens fire.

1st Shot, 1st roll & Perfect Shot, Precise Shot: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 111d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
1st Shot, 2nd roll & Perfect Shot, Precise Shot: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

2nd Shot, Precise Shot: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 181d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

1st shot hits AC 25 for 6 damage. 2nd shot hits AC 18 for 11 damage

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Rikas grits his teeth against the poison and feints to go in for another gut shot, leaving the lizard's neck wide open to an imminent attack.
Feint: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 DC 10+BAB+Wis/Sense Motive

I'm assuming everybody but Rikas is aiming for the one on the ceiling. Please notify me if that changes.

Li's arrows only add to the clustering on the ceiling. What few get through the kobold's quick reflexes are turned by the creature's thick armor, natural and not.

Another bomb comes flying, this time for the clustering around Blackthorn. Frost Bomb (Touch): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 HIT Damage: 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4, 5) + 3 = 14 to Blackthorn, who also needs a Fort save, and 6 damage each to Li and Azdak, who get Reflex saves for half.

Meanwhile, Rikas off-balances the kobold on the stairs again.
