Qwerty's PFS Masks of the Living God (Inactive)

Game Master qwerty1971

Both Rye and Darvik miss the elusive fake priest...

Chella, Darvik, Fahd, Rye, Tametomo, Tyranius

Tametomo sticks to his tactics and fires two arrows at the green acolyte.

Longbow, PBS, rapid, bless: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 1 = 10 for Arrow: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Longbow, PBS, rapid, bless: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 = 24 for Arrow: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Tametomo adjusts his aim after realizing his first target was falling down dead and sends two arrows at the last remaining foe by the door...the first arrow misses but the second arrow hits him squarely in the chest...

Chella, Darvik, Fahd, Rye, Tametomo, Tyranius
Priest (11)

Seeing that the situation is under control, Chella simply draws her crossbow and loads it.

Tyranius reloads his light crossbow, stepping out from behind the pillar he fires a bolt at the cultist with the green hem on his robes.

Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

have to go out today. will post upon my return

skipping ahead

The front liners manage to cut down the last priest. combat over Looking down the hallway the team knows Krant went towards the barracks area.

Fahd knew only one action. Go and get Krant. He led the group down the hallway knowing there was probably a trap waiting for them.

Perception 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Tametomo will nod to the others and follows Fahd, looking around to spot the fleeing coward.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Darvik follows, realizing that the party should try and catch the fleeing man.

Rye seeing the others move takes up his back position once more.

Tyranius quickly follows behind ushering the group along.

Find him fast he hisses through his teeth.[/b]

As Fahd and Tyranius begin to give chase, they notice a door hidden behind the curtains in their current room in the south.

"Look! There's a secret door to the south! Should we check it before we give pursuit?"

My guess is that's where he is. I'd say its worth a look. Open it!

My guess is that's where he is. I'd say its worth a look. Open it!

I might be mistaken, but I think the secret door is in the opposite direction of the hallway we saw Krant heading down...

"This place is just full of secret doors it seems. Let's first give chase, once we have him we can look behind this secret door"

I didn't see it was in the current room, I had thought it was on the way.

Darvik would advise to keeping up the chase!

"We'll come back to it! Let's get after that bastard!" Fahd takes off, hustling down the hallway.

Previous perception check for the hallway was 21.

I put you all in a marching order with Fahd in front and Rye in the back, adjust it if need be
The group hurries to the end of the tunnel to where the secret door they broke down is located. It seems Krant must have gone upstairs as there is more noise and sounds of activity upstairs than down on the level the team currently finds themselves.

Assuming the others agree, Fahd bounds up the steps, wanting to keep the pressure on the cleric.

Grabbing the hem of his robes Tyranius follows quickly behind.

We can't let that fool gather more 'innocent' people.

1d2 ⇒ 2
The team quickly searches the lower level and finds no one, even in the barracks. They ascend the southern stairs and end up in the meeting room on the first floor. The door to the hallway is closed but not locked. The party can hear movement of people moving through the hallway on the other side of the door.

After being told there's movement of people on the other side of the door Rye motions kicking the door open and storming in.

Darvik nods that he is ready.

Chella activates her wand of bless just before the door is opened.

Wand of bless 1 charge

Fahd kicks the door in, knowing there was definitely an ambush waiting on the other side for them.

Fahd kicks the door in and the team rushes into the hallway. There is no one there but they hear the doors to the prayer room to the east just close and see tables and chairs and barrels piled up in front of the double doors leading outside into the courtyard and out of the temple.

i must commend you all for not following the intended flow of the module. go ahead and place yourselves in the hallway where you would like to be.

Tametomo nods to the others to signal his readiness.

Fahd heads straight to the doors to the prayer room. "I bet they make their last stand here!". The warrior tries to open the door.

moved Fahds Token next to the oor since he is checking it
Fahd checks the door and the door is open. He swings the door open and inside the team can see four robed men armed with weapons standing iin front of Krant who is at the top of the altar where you once took your vows.

"Come in and die you betrayers! You think I would let you leave easily? They only way to escape is through me. That will not an easy task. I will show you and the others what the penalty is for betraying the faith! Kill them!

Combat
Tametomo, Darvik, Rye,
Baddies
Chella, Fahd, Tyanius

Tametomo swiftly knocks two arrows to bring the first acolyte down, trying to manage the cover given by Darvik.

Longbow, PBS, rapid, blessed, cover: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 - 4 = 12 for Arrow: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Longbow, PBS, rapid, blessed, cover: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 - 4 = 12 for Arrow: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

"..if that's the way it has to be..that's the way it will be.."
Rye moves past his companions into the room and takes a step to the side in front of the foremost 2 priest

(provoking if they have combat reflexes)

and swings his great sword at one of the men after he passes by, building momentum with the heavy blade by swinging it past his own back before aiming for the top of one men's head trying to separate it from the rest of it's body

To hit (flatfooted) AC Green: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 = 23 (bless)
Slashing damage if hit: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 1) + 7 = 14

Darvik simply strides forward and tries to slice and bash the man facing him!

Scimitar: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 for Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Shield: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 for Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Current AC 22

Tametomo sends two quick arrows at the front line foes and misses them but allows his companions to get into position. As Rye and Darvik enter the fray they see acolytes on the sides of the room waiting for them to enter.

As Rye enters the green acolyte strikes out...
ATK: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8..DMG: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3MISS
and then the foe gets cut down by Rye's swing...

Darvik simply walks forward and eviscerates the foe to his front with a sword strike and then finishes him off with a shield bash and the man crumples to the ground bleeding out...

while the red acolyte moves and attacks the half orc...
ATK: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10...DMG: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 MISS

and the grey acolyte charges Darvik from his flank...
ATK: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 2 = 18..DMG: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 MISS

the purple acolyte charges at Fahd screaming as he moves
ATK: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 = 12..DMG: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 MISS

and the pink acolyte charges at Darvik stepping over the dying body of his compatriot
ATK: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 = 11..DMG: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 MISS

"Surround the big one and cut him down first!" Krant yells out and the two acolytes waiting in the back advance, one towards Darvik and the other at Rye who also lashes out with an attack...
ATK: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7..DMG: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 MISS

what crappy rolls even with a +5

Combat
Chella, Fahd, Tyranius, Tametomo, Darvik, Rye
Baddies

Darvik will again try to slice and bash his way through the man in front of him! I'll use the ability Soul Drinker, giving my temp HPs equal to the enemy I just killed. Just let me know how many that is, I don't expect much.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 for Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Shield: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 for Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

If that fells my new enemy I will 5' step up into his square.

@ Darvik- it does kill him; 13 temp HPs
Darvik cuts down the pink acolyte with ease.

It's impossible to reason with these fanatical zealots.

The cleric utters some magical words and points her finger at the man in front of Fahd. "Flee!" she says before reloading her crossbow.

I cast Command (DC 14) on the purple acolyte.

Pretty sure Darvik gets temp hp equal to the HD of the enemy he defeated not equal to it's total hp

Rye seeing himself get surrounded continues the swing of his great sword and tries to cut through the priest standing behind him

to hit AC Red: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 1 = 24 (bless)
slashing damage if hit: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 3) + 7 = 16

Wow, I butchered my sentence. It was supposed to say "giving me temp HPs equal to the hit dice of the enemy I just killed". Woof. So I assume that's 2.

Fahd exchanges two blows with purple opponent.

Blessed attack one 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 = 17

Damage 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Blessed attack two 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 = 25

Damage 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Tametomo steps forward to fire two arrows at the next opponent (green).

Is Krant the grey guy in the stairs?

Longbow, PBS, rapid, blessed: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 = 20 for Arrow: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Longbow, PBS, rapid, blessed: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 1 = 22 for Arrow: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

@Darvik- seems we both misread that. yes it is two HP. I will adjudicate via initiative order. Will post baddie actions and adjust for Tyranius when he posts if he derails their plans just to move this along

Chella tells the purple foe to flee and he WIL: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 = 10 and he turns to run back the way he came which allows Fahd to hit him in the back of the neck twice and thus knocking him out...

Tametomo takes a step forward and sends two arrows into the chest of the brown foe attacking Rye green was killed earlier, even with cover you hit the brown foe sending him to meet Razmir in the afterlife...yes that is Krant

Rye seems to be running out of opponents after initially being almost surrounded and swings his weapon at red foe cutting him down with one hit...

the last acolyte attacks Darvik ATK: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22...DMG: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 HIT and draws blood. He then takes a 5 foot step back..

"I will not be as easy to defeat as these fools! Come to me and die!" Krant yells out as he begins to swell with anger while grasping a large and menacing club and charges at Darvik...
ATK+Rage: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15...DMG: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 MISS

tracker
Darvik=7

Team is up

So less the two temp I take five, now at 23/28 HP

Darvik spits and smiles as the main baddy comes up to fight him! Darvik shifts to the side of Krant and hopes to slice and bash him as well!

Scimitar: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 for Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Shield: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 for Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Confirm?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18 for Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Tametomo looks deep in Krant's eyes and a weird rictus appears on his usually emotionless face.
"You will go down and meet afterlife! Face the Jugement!"

Declaring a Smite on Krant. Let's hope the man's evil!

The archer then fire one arrow, aiming the cultist's heart.

Longbow, PBS, rapid, bless, smite: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 21 for Arrow: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

Stepping forward Tyranius gives a small incantation as he waves a hand past Fahd's face. As his hand passes Fahd's visage rapidly changes to a half melted face as his teeth elongate slightly.

Face of the Devourer You gain +4 to intimidate and a bite attack

Face your horrors Krant!

@Tametomo- is in indeed evil

Darvik steps forward to Kant and attacks him twice with steel and shield with his sword cutting deep into the raging mans body crit confirmed but the man seems oblivious to the pain...

Tametomo uses his holy focus to send an arrow at Krant hitting him just after Darvik cut into his side...

Tyranius makes Fahd more fierce looking

Rye, Fahd, Chella and Tyranius (from previous round)
Krant and baddies

tracker
Krant- 37

Fahd swings twice and tries to bite the closest opponent.

Blessed attack one 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 = 25

Damage 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Blessed attack two 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8

Damage 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Blessed secondary bite attack 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 - 5 = 6

Damage 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Chella casts the same spell as she did earlier and points her finger at Krant this time. "Drop!" she says to the Razmirian leader, hoping he will drop his weapon.

I cast Command (DC 14) on Krant

closest opponent is Krant so I moved your token in front of him to attack
Fahd moves to engage the raging Krant and strikes him once in the chest.

Chella commands the bully to drop his weapon...WIL+Rage: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 but the man ignores her

Rye and Tyranius
