PbP Gameday VII: PFS Scenario #4–21: Way of the Kirin [Tier 3-7] (Inactive)

Game Master Stiehle

The archer knows his position is not to defend anymore and must do a fold on a position prepared in advance. So he faces the stairs down as I assume looking at the plan that there is no wall around the stairs except on the right. and he's ready to fire an arrow at who or what will come out Ready action to shot once I see something or someone. He doesn't answer to Lovissa not to signal his presence here to someone who didn't see him fires arrows on the other side of the house. But it could be a good idea to come to help or to be prepared to get something through the living room's ceiling.

I am not seeing the baddies on the map

They are not on the map because we don't see them (hopefully him).

Correct, the doors are closed on the second level (I think all the ones on the 1st level have been opened by now) and you know the sounds of broken glass and shouting came from A6.

Red runs down one set of stairs and opens the door leading to the second floor.

Ok, that makes sense

Not sure which one is the staircase leading up

The monk is going to move up to the stair case leading up and tries to hide

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

As the Pathfinders scurry around, with Arin managing to put out the fire next to the window as Lovissa closes in on the fire burning at the front doors, another volley of arrows sails upward from the distant archers and arc into and around the lightouse.

Burning Arrows: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

From upstairs, there is a sudden crashing sound as one of the intruders falls through the pit trap, slamming down to the lower floor with a startled cry of surprise mingled with pain! Styfis and Red also see the doors fly open, though only the elf can actually see the Golden League soldier, Red has no line of sight.

Falling Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Player's Map - Slide #1

Gray Son, I moved you to the steps leading up to the second floor. Those other stairs go down to the cave beneath the island where Amara and Iko went. The party is up!

Lovissa douses the fire beside her with her second waterskin. Beside her the wolf snarls.

I'm out of water now, FYI, and this is the wolf's last round. He's readying an action to attack if any enemies come into reach.

Arin has no end of water via his cantrip, so no worries there. He just has to get around the map.

Arin backtracks around the corner, to finish off another fire in the room before proceeding back to help in the main area...

10', move action
Cast create water, 6gallons, standard action.

The archer fires arrows on the new arrival of soldiers in the house the green one in the case.

Readied arrow: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 1 + 1 = 31

Damage readied arrow: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Archery 1: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 23

Damage Archery 1: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Archery 2: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 28

Damage Archery 2: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Archery 3: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 19

Damage Archery 3: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

He then has a look to see if the soldier is still on his feet after this burst.

Hearing the crash, Red moves toward the main room of the second floor.
if the door to A6 is closed, he'll open it. If it's open, he'll try to get an attack off at blue. He has point blank master so he can fire a bow without an opponent getting an AoO
deadly bow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26 damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

thank you for moving me.

Gray, you can go to take down the red one.

1d20 + 20 ⇒ (11) + 20 = 31 Acrobatcs

The Varisian will do a backflip and ends up next to the red baddy
Surprise, toots
he says as he tries to hit her with his tonfa
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Not sure if she is flatfooted

1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
3d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 4) = 6 if flatfooted

He then goes into snake style.

Not bad damage if she is flatfooted

Styfis calmly sends a barrage of arrows into the soldier that just opened the door, turning him into a living pincushion as the Golden League saboteur drops in his tracks. Red's luck isn't as good as the elf's, but he does injury his own target. Lovissa quickly puts out the fire near her even as Arin does the same with a magical cantrip while Gray Son smacks the prone soldier with his tonfa.

More burning arrows fly in through the doors and windows as the surviving soldiers retaliate, the one in front of Grey Son stands up and backs away from the monk, grabbing a colored glass vial at his belt and hurling it at his foe even as the one facing Red does the same!

Burning Arrows: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Bomb Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 vs Gray Son's 'Touch' AC = Hit!
Bomb Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 5) + 2 = 12 fire (Gray gets a Reflex Save for half)

Bomb Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12 vs Red's 'Touch' AC (Has +4 to AC for cover from wall) = Miss!
Miss Direction: 1d8 ⇒ 1 = Lands 1 square south of Red (Red takes 4 points of 'splash' fire damage and gets a Reflex Save for half)

Player's Map - Slide #1

Party is up! Gray Son, you can take an AoO as your opponent stands from prone, in addition to your Round 3 attack. I also need Reflex saves from Gray Son and Red.

AoO 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 2 = 20 if denied Dex

I will roll sneak attack if the lady is considered flatfooted if getting up from prone

1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
3d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 6) = 14

Reflex 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Is this from the splash? If so I think his evasion will take place

Round 3
Using his snake style he jabs at the eyes of the baddy
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 will do piercing

and kicks at her head
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

staying in snake style.

Something happened where my last post was eaten

Round 3 If the same person is up
He will use his snake style to attack the same person
1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 = 10

1d6 + 1d6d6d1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + (13, 15, 11, 18, 18, 1, 7, 12, 18, 14, 7, 2, 20, 18) + 8 + 1 = 186

1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

staying in snake style

It doesnt look like anything hit. I have no idea why there are so many numbers in the second roll but I have tried to change the formatting and nothing seems to change

reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

This is weird, these posts have posted at all different times

It doesnt look like anything hit. I have no idea why there are so many numbers in the second roll but I have tried to change the formatting and nothing seems to change

It looks like your first post attempt simply took a moment to show after posting (people have been seeing alot of this on the site recently). So probably your first post can be used. As for all the extra die-rolls, I'm guessing it's the "1d6d6d1d20" expression :)

Arin pops through the open door, looking for the next fire to put out. He finds nothing doing in the next room. Lovissa nods her head towards the opposite door as if to point his way, he nods back and crosses the room ready to continue his firefighting work.

40', double move, assuming the first door was open, but I take it this next door is closed.

Lovissa's wolf vanishes. She refocuses on the statuette in her pocket and channels her psychic powers through it once more, making the same wolf once again appear at her side. She gives the wolf a nod, then grips her sword, ready to hold the entrance. Standard action and a conjuration mental focus to use her servitor ability and call the wolf again. He's around for another minute.

Meanwhile, the wolf lopes off towards the nearest enemy and tries to bite them

Attack Red Enemy: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Confirming a Critical Hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Trip Attempt: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Note: If the red enemy was already dead the wolf instead remains at the door waiting until an enemy shows itself nearby.

[ooc[ I like that wolf [/ooc]

Haha. Me too!

He makes a good flanking partner for a rogue :)

The archer advance forward and try to fire an arrow on the blue one.

Archery 1: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 1 + 1 = 15

Gray Son kicks the soldier as he struggles to rise and then manages to evade the fire bomb entirely, though Red isn’t so lucky, and he is burned by the splashing fire.

More arrows rain down upon the house, and though Gray Son’s follow-up attack doesn’t connect, the wolf bites the soldier in the leg, though he is able to avoid being knocked down by the animal (auto success vs DC 3) as Styfis misses wide with his arrow.

Burning Arrows: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Bomb Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25 vs Styfis’ 'Touch' AC = Hit!
Bomb Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 3) + 2 = 11 fire (Styfis gets a Reflex Save for half)

Bomb Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28 vs Grey Son’s 'Touch' AC = Hit!
Bomb Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2) + 2 = 5 fire (Grey Son gets a Reflex Save for no damage [Evasion], Wolf takes 4 points of 'splash' fire damage and gets a Reflex Save for half)

Player's Map - Slide #1

Party is up! I need Reflex saves from Gray, Styfis and Wolf for this round. Red, I don’t think I got your attack in Round 3 (though you did roll a Reflex save that didn’t quite succeed), so feel free to make an ‘extra’ attack if you’d like.

Sense Motive 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

I get my snake style maneuver to see if I get hit

You gain a +2 bonus on Sense Motive checks, and you can deal piercing damage with your unarmed strikes. While using the Snake Style feat, when an opponent targets you with a melee or ranged attack, you can spend an immediate action to make a Sense Motive check. You can use the result as your AC or touch AC against that attack. You must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed.

Reflex save 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Reflex save: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 2 = 27

I think it's ok. So I should take 5 damage, but 0 with the Resist Energy.

Having ignored the attack of the foe, the archer fires three arrows at him.

Archery 1: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 24

Archery 2: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 22

Archery 3: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 14

Damage 1: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Damage 2: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

The monk makes an acrobatic movement to get past the wolf to attack the remaining foe and get in front of him.
1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 35 acrobatic

and tries to hit him upset the head with the tonfa
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
missing in his haste to get to the foe

last action was "Hearing the crash, Red moves toward the main room of the second floor.
if the door to A6 is closed, he'll open it. If it's open, he'll try to get an attack off at blue. He has point blank master so he can fire a bow without an opponent getting an AoO
deadly bow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26 damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10"

Red steps for a better shot and sends 2 arrows at the intruder (blue).
bow: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
bow: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Wolf whimpers in pain when the fire burns him!

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 (Safe to assume that fails and he takes four damage?)

The wolf steps forward and bites at the red enemy right in front of him. (Smite Evil).

Attack: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 (+2 extra damage if he's evil)
Trip if he hits: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Meanwhile, Lovissa peeks out the door... Can she see any enemies outside? Or are the archers too far away to see properly?

Lovissa sheathes her sword and draws her bow.

I think the wolf now flanks with me

Arin moves into the next room and puts out the next fire with another abyssal incantation of Create Water.

20', move action, cast Create Water, standard action.

I assume these new fires are appearing courtesy of the flaming arrows coming in from outside? What is the consequence of not putting one out after one round? Two rounds?

Styfis and Red fire their arrows into the soldier, dropping him next to the bed, one hand hanging down limply into the ragged pit trap that the other one fell through. Lovissa peers out through the door and sees the archers at the very edge of her longbow range, standing still and raining fire down upon the lighthouse. The wolf and Gray Son have no luck bringing down their own foe, but the soldier is now pinned between them and unable to use his bombs.

Even more arrows rain down upon the house, as Arin puts out one of the fires, but the ones that ignite inside the house seem to burn quickly, and start spreading. The soldier squaring off against Gray Son seems prepared to fight to the death as he shifts away from the wolf and unsheathes a dagger, slashing at the monk and connecting as he cuts a shallow wound into his arm, though it burns like fire!

Burning Arrows: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Dagger Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 vs Gray Son's AC = Hit!
Dagger Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3 slashing (Grey Son needs a Fort Save vs poison)

Player's Map - Slide #1

Party is up! I need a Fort save from Gray. With regard to the fires, you can now see that the ones that land inside the house are quickly spreading, while those that thunk into the barriers are not so quick to spread.

Well, Red it's time to go downstairs.

Then the archer makes a great movement thanks his Quickness ability, to fire an arrow on the last foe inside the house.

Archery: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 1 + 1 = 21

Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Red nods and follows the elven archer.

The Varisian will flurry with both of his tonfas at the foe
1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 2 = 24 assuming the flank
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
3d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 6) = 12

1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 2 = 30
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
3d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 6) = 12

The frantic gnome continues putting out flames. First the new one in the current room. Then he heads back the other way again.

create water, standard action, 20', move action

The wolf follows the enemy into the next room and snaps at his leg!

Attack: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 1 = 12
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 (+2 extra damage if he's evil)
Trip if he hits: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

---

Meanwhile, Lovissa takes aim at the archers far off int he distance and fires an arrow at them.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 1 = 25
Piercing Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Confirming a Critical Hit: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 1 = 21
Extra Piercing Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8

Gray Son's Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 vs poison
Poison Damage: 1d2 ⇒ 1 DEX

Styfis hustles down the stairs with blinding speed and plants an arrow in the abdomen of the surviving soldier, who is finished off seconds later by Gray Son's well-aimed tonga blow - but the monk feels the venom from the dagger burning into his side...

Burning Arrows: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The flaming arrows continue to rain down, spearing through broken windows even as the fires already burning inside begin to spread quickly. Smoke billows down from the second floor, indicating fires up there are already threatening to overwhelm them from above even as more fires flare up on the first floor.

Lovissa manages to injure one of the archers, but sees other soldiers, these wearing robes, joining them and soon spells are being hurled at the lighthouse in addition to the burning arrows. Attempts to protect the house appear to be failing fast as the entire house begins to burn, the second floor is soon entirely engulfed and the first floor seems as though it will soon follow. Aarrows fired at the enemy seem to fall aside harmlessly, as though the targets are magically protected and they are too far away to engage in melee, though the soldiers are slowly closing in. It seems that holding the house is no longer tenable and using the secret door to access the lava caves as Amara and Kito did is their only hope now...

Player's Map - Slide #1

Grey Son, go ahead and give me a few more Fort Saves until you beat DC 18 once or fail five more times. Out of initiative for the moment, figure you all have about a minute to heal and do anything else you'd like. You can continue to attack the soldiers outside, but it is obvious that they are magically protected from arrows and moving into melee range will take you far away from the safety of the house. During that minute, the entire second level is slowly enveloped by fire and the first floor is quickly threatening to do the same as those fires already burning and those begun by more burning arrows override the efforts of Arin's spells and the efforts of the Pathfinders who seek to extinguish the flames through more mundane means.

If there is still a red soldier, I fire an arrow on him. Otherwise as next.

Well, we were asked to save time to allow Lord Tsuneo to execute his ritual, not to perish inside this burning house. Go for now. The enemy won't find the secret door quickly with the smoke and the fire.

Then the archer casts a new spell on him and is ready to go into the unknown secret path behind the fireplace.I cast Heightened Awareness.

Once it's obvious the house isn't going to stand, Red helps the others make their way down to the tunnel.
