Qwerty's PFS Gallows of Madness- What Lurks in the Woods (closed recruitment) (Inactive)

Game Master nightdeath

The grippli scrambles onto a limb of the tree near where Eris is fighting two of the attackers, and tosses his net down on the far one.

Net vs red: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Manaria with her quarterstaff in one hand and her wand in the other swings at yellow.

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

She then takes a five foot step back and shoves her wand in her belt.

still using combat expertise and with shield,AC is 21

Sammakko drops the net at the right time and snares a goblin

Eris kills the orange goblin but must now deal with the orange dog...

Manaria swings at the yellow foe hitting him squarely but does not drop him.

Deldri continues to prove that combat is not his forte...

Wolfgang misses his mark and begins to reload...

Combat 2nd RND
Sammakko, Wolfgang, Speaker, Manaria, Deldri, Eris
Goblins Green Mount (-3), Orange Goblin (-8), Yellow Goblin (-7)

not my forte lol

Heeding the Mayor's warning that the dog's bites are worse than the crude weapons of their Goblin riders, the Speaker continues their sacred Dance, sweeping along from their successful strike and into the flank of the next dog bearing their teeth at her.

Scimitar vs Green dog, Arcane strike: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 = 17 for damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Speaker ends the life of the green goblin dog. The goblins try to retaliate against the team...

Yellow vs Speaker: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3...DMG: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Red vs Net Escape: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10...

The Orange goblin manages to nick Eris on the arm as the yellow one moves to attack Speaker but fails. The red goblin continues to be entangled by the net...

Combat 3rd RND
Sammakko, Wolfgang, Speaker, Manaria, Deldri, Eris(-2)
Orange Goblin (-8), Yellow Goblin (-7), Red Goblin

Sammakko drops down from the tree branch, right next to the goblin with the orange pants, and tries to deliver a pair of blows.

Attack vs orange: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 121d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Flurry vs orange: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 141d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Not sure if that provokes, but Sam will drop down either way.

Eris counterattacks the enemy that struck her, but her sword thrust is less than elegant and easily dodged.

MW rapier (cold iron): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 91d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Wolfgang reloads and takes aim for the goblin in the red cap far to the south-west.

Attack roll: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 -> Damage roll: 1d10 ⇒ 8

Deldri tries to hit again but swings wildly.

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Keeping up their dance of death, the Speaker turns their prayers into a soft chanting song, feeling the energy of the Sun goddess flow through her and into righteous anger. Bringing her glowing blade down once more on the lone Gobloin threatening her.

Scmitar, dance: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14 for damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Manaria moves back to a two handed stance and moves back into melee range with yellow and flanks with speaker.

She swings the end around at the little beast's big head.

attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 2 = 18
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

AC is 21, +1 from combat expetise, +4 from shield

Sammakko jumps down from the trees but mistimes his attack and swings too early...
Wolfgang continues to prove to the others he is deadly with his crossbow as he hits his mark...
Speaker misses her target but Manaria re-positions and strikes the yellow goblin down...
Deldri continues to be allergic to actually hitting opponents...
Eris misses with her attack most likely because Sammakko startled her when he jumped down...

The orange goblin yells at the red goblin and then attacks the jumping frog-man...
Orange vs Sammakko: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9...DMG: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 MISS

The red goblin begins cutting his way out of the net...

Combat 4th RND
Sammakko, Wolfgang, Speaker, Manaria, Deldri, Eris(-2)
Orange Goblin (-8), Red Goblin (-8)

Manaria moves around the tree, staff in one hand, and casts a spell, causing a burst of light right in the eyes of the red goblin.

Casting Flare, DC 13 Fort or he is dazzled for 1 minute

Red WIL vs DC13: 1d20 ⇒ 19
The red goblin snears at Manaria from under the net as the elf tried some magik trick but the goblin shook it off.

Just a cantrip, so I am not surprised

Eris analyzes her foe quickly and waits for an opening, then thrusts at the goblin with her rapier again.

MW rapier (cold iron): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 151d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Sam steadies himself on his feet before trying again to deliver a pair of blow to the goblin.

Attack vs orange: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 221d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Flurry: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 261d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
If orange is down, will 5 ft to red and attack

Their speed enhanced by the Goddess' sacred dance, Speaker dashes across the plains towards their entangled allies. Darting past Manaria,, the Speaker keeps up their soft prayer-chanting, willing Sarenrae's Scarlet flames to rise once more up her blade. With practice she strikes at the Orange coated goblin dog.

Scimitar, dance: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 for damage, magic, cold iron: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

The group quickly surrounds and dispatches the remaining goblins and their pesky dogs... before the group can catch their breath...

Suddenly, the sound of a trumpet rings out over the field, becoming louder as its player approaches. A group of goblins emerge from the forest to the east.... one of them larger than the others and foaming at the mouth...as if enraged...they all run towards the closest target, that of the hapless gnome Deldri since the boy farmer ran off a while ago...

Deldri

Deldri appears to be frozen with fear at the oncoming rush...

Ceasing their sacred battledance as the goblins fall, the Speaker turns to at the noise to see a new mass of oncoming warriors. Seeing their hunger for Deldri, the Speaker of the Scarlet flame dashes towards the river and raises her blade, causing it to spark with Scarlet flame once more.

"Deldri! Where are all these corrupted souls flowing from? The Boneyards of Pharasma will swell with Goblinoids at this rate."

Daring them to appraoch, the Speaker readies a strike.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 for Magic, Cold Iron, damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Scimitar, Crit confirm: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 for Magic, Cold Iron, damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Manaria follows speaker back towards the front of the incoming horde. She stands shoulder to shoulder with the bard.

At least we will get good money for the amount of goblin pelts we will have

readied attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
readied damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

"This is our lucky day! Behold! Even more money coming to us via giant headed goblin scum! We just have to stop them from running away! And then of course remove the heads... mmmh... I wonder if we should pickle them..." Wolfgang laughs as he shoots again, aiming for the goblin with the red cap...

Attack roll: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 -> Damage roll: 1d10 ⇒ 8

Sammakko hangs his head upon seeing more of the goblins. "Ok, I've had enough goblins for my lifetime. Make it stop. There is an end to them right?"

He runs towards the river, waiting for them to cross.

Wolfgang sends a bolt to the red goblin and strikes it in the shoulder.
Eris decides to move closer to the fight and stands besides her companions.
Manaria readies an attack for the eventual goblin charge, as does Speaker.
Sammakko moves closer to the fight as well eager to engage with enemies closer to his size...

The goblins charge through the river with the red one throwing a javelin at Speaker prior to crossing Javelin: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22...DMG: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

and while it takes a bit of time due to the recent swelling from rains, the goblins all make it to the other side but have expended their movement...

"Come to papa!" shouts Wolfgang recharging lightning fast and shooting again at his previous target...

Attack roll (ranged touch): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13 -> Damage roll: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Sam takes a step to the side of the incoming goblins and tries to land a pair of kicks to the closest one.

Wolfgang misses with his next bolt as Sammakko re-positions and strikes with his first attack almost knocking the green goblin down.

Deldri continues to suffer from his allergies as he misses but he does not feel too bad as he sees Manaria miss with both attacks as well...

damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Deldri Really has no luck!

Satisfied with their last strike, the Speaker keeps up their sacred scarlet flames and begins to carve at the goblin draped in red, breathing heavily from the continued exertion this prolonged combat has brought them.

Scimitar vs Red: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 for damge: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Deldri Really has no luck!

Scimitar vs Red: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 for damge: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Still smiling widely, Wolfgang takes aim for the red capped goblin and shoots him again!

Wolfgang takes a slash on the arm from the yellow goblin then takes a step back with the goblin foe to his front to create some space to aim for the goblin leader and hits the red foe...

Eris continues her struggles...

Which affected Manaria as well...

But brave Sammakko manages to knock the green goblin down with a vicious side kick...and Speaker strikes the red goblin leader as well...

Seeing their leader fall the remaining goblins withdraw back towards the other side of the river trying to get away...

Deldri gets out his crossbow and loads it.

"Dammed things. Nearly as bad as kobolds!"

lol I'm borrowing the GMs die roller!

Eris lowers her sword as the goblins begin to flee.

"Though I am confident we will see them again, shooting them in the back as they run is less than sporting," she says.

The Speaker breathes heavily, clearly considering chasing down the Goblins and removing their foul taint from threatening any more of the townsfolk. Seeing sense and compassion in Eris' words however the Dancer of Sarenrae pauses and composes themselves.

"I agree it is poor, but to let these creature's run amok is a failing." She replies clearly conflicted.

"STOP THEM! THOSE ARE LIKE PURSES FULL OF GOLD RUNNING AWAY!!!" screams Wolfang, allarmed as he tries to shhot down the fleeing goblins...

Attack roll: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 1 = 22 -> Damage roll: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Aim and shoot at Yellow

After knocking one of them out, Sammakko shakes a fist at the others as they turn and run "Yeah that's right! Be afraid of us! And don't ever come back or we'll beat you up again!"

apologies for my absence, was on the road for a few days

Wolfgang licks his fingers then takes careful aim before letting a bolt fly striking down the yellow goblin...

The orange goblin runs to the wood line and the group loses the goblin in the trees.

Waiting for another attack the group stands ready to fight then realize the goblin waves are over. There are a score of goblin dead littering the area.

Searching the fallen for anything of use the group finds:
potions of cure light wounds (6),
acid (3),
alchemist’s fire (11),
smokestick,
tanglefoot bag (5);
thunderstone (4)
scale mail,
horsechopper,
dog slicer (6)
Shortbow (5)
arrows (60)
javelins (4),
bent and tarnished coins
loose strings of pearls
gem-less chipped rings

You relish the moment of silence after the three successive battles and begin distributing the gear you like to keep.

As the last goblin flees the scene of carnage, the Speaker wipes the ichor from the edge of their blade with a cloth, grimacing at the filth from their most recent foes. Amassing quite the horde of spoils from the defeated Goblinoids, the Speaker takes one of the healing potions and sips its contents, the scratches from the fight sealing under the restorative magics. Feeling better, they smile and takes some of the alchemical items dropped to help them in their continued defence of the town.

"Congratulations my friend, a great threat to the Town destroyed by us all. Now, shall we follow the Goblin that ran or return to the mayor?"

Will take an Alchemist's fire, tanglefoot and thunderstone. Will also drink ont he cure lights

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Deldri puts away his crossbow.

"Let's follow that goblin. It might lead us to its base"

"An astute observation," Eris says to Deldri and follows after him.

"We hunt them down. We don't let good money get away! But first..." - says Wolfgang unsheating a small but apparently well honed dagger - "...first we need some little mementos, just to make sure we get paid!" he concludes, mving among the fallen goblins and goblin dogs collecting heads and tails...

As the group starts distributing the loot or drinking a goblin healing potion while trying not to lurch it back up, or gathering goblin parts for proof for payment you hear screams and a goblin-song coming from the direction of the nearby Escoro homestead... where the young boy you saved earlier ran off to...
