[RD] PFS 2-10 Penumbral Accords (Low Tier) (Inactive)

Game Master Andrew Harasty

"MIRA!!! Wa...watch out!" Boomer moves up towards the construct, pulling out a vial and filling it with his power. He throws it at the icy enemy using the mystical power granted to him.

Malek shoots an another arrow.

To hit - point blank, Precise Shot:: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 = 24
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Augh! This would be so much easier if you guys weren't in the way...I mean don't get out of the way! Stay where you are or between me and this thing," Razka called out.

He summoned up his arcane energy, again, coalescing it into a ball of acid that he flings at the creature.

Acid Splash Ranged Touch minus Firing into Melee: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 2 - 4 = 16
Acid Splash Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

With a snarl of frustration, Everbloom fires another tree trunk at the creature.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 9
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8

What's happening? I thought Mira's attack was supposed to take place before the ice guardian moved to attack boomer. Now it's had another turn and attacked her, did it just jump ahead in initiative or have I missed something?

Fortitude: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (13) + 0 = 13
Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Mira, confused, cold and slightly singed, takes a step back from the action.

Looks like this thing is probably resistant to all of my spells and my dagger too so I'm going to withdraw.

Mira's Punch dagger attack did happen before. Just that everyone did their actions as well that took place after that attack. The Joys of slightly fluid PbP Initative. So going back you could have gotten out of the way before it went again. However I will say you got out of the way before Boomer's bomb so no splash damage.

Mira is able to resist the icy drain on her body.

Guardian Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Boomer's bomb goes wide but even the light flames seem to hurt the guardian significantly.

Razka's acid splash strikes true and does just enough to cause the icy construct to fall apart.

Examining the frozen human forms in Wightir House’s cold storage room, they find a grisly display of partially dissected humanoids and half-completed biological experiments from the Material Plane. Each specimen is frozen in several inches of hard ice. Many have a rictus of pain and fear solidified on their cold, blue faces, and all of them have an identical black rune branded onto their foreheads.

Among the Tian relics You can locate a suit of masterwork parade armor in the samurai style, an orc double axe with blades shaped like strange dragons’ heads, and a masterwork composite shortbow used by the mounted archers of the eastern steppes. None of it is magical.

The wand can be removed from the chain is a wand of endure elements and has 28 charges left.

"I'll take that Shortbow if nobody has anything against it?"

For what strength is shortbow?

Basic composite shortbow, str +0

Ignoring the valuables lying around, Boomer approaches one of the frozen bodies and tries to identify the magical history of the rune on their foreheads. "Wha...what do you think these mean?"

Razka bows as though he has just finished a master performance when their icy opponent shatters under the heat caused by the chemical reaction between his acid and its substance.

"You're welcome," he says, before looking around at the experiments thoughtfully. He does not seem troubled by them, but rather curious. Only after he has examined them each does he turn his attention to the material gains, casting Detect Magic, if no one else has, already.

"This armor certainly makes a statement, but I have no use for any of it. You're welcome to the bow, Malek."

"Well, I don't feel bad about not using this in the fight," he continues after examining the wand. "It wouldn't have helped. But might as well use it now, just in case. We'll just have to turn it in to the Society when we're done, anyway."

Assuming no one objects, he will touch each of them with the wand and the chill in the room will immediately become comfortable.

"There, now no one needs their pesky clothes," he says with a wicked grin.

Everbloom gives on final snarl at the monster as it shatters, then kicks a piece of it across the room.

She accepts a tap from Razka's wand, then lets out a yipping laugh at his 'joke.'

Then she wanders the room, curiously examining the display of half-directed corpses with an amused smile.

The Rune seems to have some function of binding the barer to the shadow plane. But you are not able to tell anything more than that since the subject is no longer living.

"Probably all the information we're going to get out of here, don't you think? Just one more place to check. And, of course, the stranded damsels who are pawns in an ancient dark contract are always in the last place you look for them," Razka says, moving back towards the door, ready to leave this room.

I can't find stats for parade armor. Not that Razka can wear any armor but I'm curious about it. What book is it from?

"I wa...want to check out this door back here. I don't remember a do...or in the other room we were in." Boomer walks to the door at the back of the room and checks the door.

Everbloom looks at the door in the back of the room with her hear cocked in curiosity. With a swish of her tail she follows behind Boomer.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Malek moves closer to the door.

Mira smiles weakly at the others as she peeks back in and sees that the danger has passed.
"I'm sorry, everything was happening so fast, and I couldn't understand what any of you were saying and that creature was so cold!"

The oracle slowly wanders through the room, joining the group gathering around the door in the back.
"What's this then?"

Parade Armor from Pathfinder Player Companion: Adventurer’s Armory. It is in Ultimate equipment as well.

Boomer readies and opens the door.

A few desks, three locked chests, and a locked standing cabinet are here along a wall facing the West Exhibit Hall made of smoky glass. Fading in and out of vision, the shadowy form of a slablike table holding an unconscious, vivisected human man, his chest rising slowly with each breath, is superimposed over the southernmost desk. Medical implements and alchemical devices are spread across nearly every surface, some more substantial in form than others.

The man, drugged and unconscious, lays splayed on the operating table, his lower torso dissected and his skin held open and taught with large clamps. His forehead sports a dark rune tattoo that seems to suck light toward it.

Seeing no immediate threat, Everbloom wanders into the room and looks at the half-disected man with interest.

Mira follows Everbloom, curious to examine the unconscious specimen.

Boomer follows Everbloom into the room and up to the violated man. "Wh...what...who...who would do this to someone. I do..don't think there is anything we can do for him. Do you think he can hear us?"

Everbloom shrugs. "I don't know." After a moment she adds, "I've never seen a man's insides from this angle before..."

Malek stays at the door, aiming in room if something appears to shoot it.

Boomers quick assesment is that the subject is alive, at negative HP, but stable and unconscious.

However, from the ceiling, a bomb falls towards Everbloom.

Bomb Throw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18 v FF, Touch

The Acid explodes on to Everbloom.

Fetchling Bomb Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 5) + 2 = 8 acid

Splash: 4 acid (DC 14 Reflex for half for Mira)

You make out a Fetchling on the ceiling of the room ceiling at 15 feet so the creature is 10 feet from the ground. Can be hit with reach weapons

Malek and Razka can act before the Fetchling goes again.

Also like the last one, there is currently a 50% miss chance to hit the alchemist while he is still in dim light. Dancing lights lasts a minute so it is gone from the previous casting

Everbloom snarls in pain and tries to rub the burning acid from her eyes.

Razka was just heading into the room to check out the man who has, apparently, been flayed alive. If he was a different kind of person, this place would really creep him out. As it is, he finds it all very interesting and intellectually stimulating.

"Rude!" he accuses as the Fetchling drops acid on Everbloom.

It is the sort of declaration that would merit a chiding finger. Razka has something better in hand, though. He aims the wand he's holding at the Fetchling (mostly...accuracy isn't his strongest suit...)

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

Malek moves to the opposite corner.

The acid continues to burn Everbloom for one more turn
Extra Acid Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1 acid
The burning then stops

The Bomber throws his next bomb at Malek

Fetchling Bomb Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Fetchling Bomb Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 2 = 7 acid

The acid burns Malek
This is the Acid Bomb discovery, the follow up 1d6 acid is automatic

Everyone is now up.

Upon seeing the bombs flying, Boomer moves up to intercept the fetchling. "Not my friends. Not here...not no...ow." He swings his large hammer at what he suspects is the tormentor of this man.

Move 30 ft; attack = standard (was still holding the hammer from last battle)

Auu that hurts!

Malek shoots an arrow at Fetchling.
to hit - point blank, Precise Shot:: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 1 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"Acid, huh? Two can play that game!" Razka declares, conjuring up a glob of acid and flinging it at their assailant.

Acid Splash Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Acid Splash Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

With singed fur and a snarl, Everbloom fires a barrage of razor sharp pine needles up at the acid-throwing fetchling.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 = 17
Piercing Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7
50% Miss Chance due to dim light: 1d100 ⇒ 74 Striking.

Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Mira winces in pain as some of the acid falls across her arm, thankfully she avoids the worst of the splash.

"Mgyogor hup ahagl ymg' ahnah uh'enyth!" She screams, glaring up at the fetchling in the rafters, trying to crack into the creature's mind and flood its consciousness with images of the Great Beyond.

Will DC 14 or the creature is confused for 1 round.

Then she draws the wand Razka gave her, ready to undo some of the damage the fetchling has caused.

Malek Miss Chance <50 miss: 1d100 ⇒ 80
Razka Miss Chance <50 miss: 1d100 ⇒ 67

Malek's and Razka's shot pierce the darkness and hit fetchling.

Does Boomer have reach?

Everbloom's blast also strikes true.

Fetchling Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

The alchemist shakes off the madness and redoubles his attacks.

Malek additional Acid: 1d6 ⇒ 3

He jumps down from the ceiling and begins to bite and claw at Boomer.

Fetchling Bite Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Fetchling Bite Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Boomer may take an AoO as the fetchling moves to ground level though your threatened squares.

Everyone is back up

Boomer does not have reach, so he swung at empty air.

As the fetchling drops from the ceiling in front of Boomer, he draws his hammer back in the same arc, striking the fetchling.

"Tough one," Razka says as the fetchling manages to shrug off hits from most of the party.

Between the darkness and their opponent getting mixed up with Boomer, he's certain he won't hit the guy with another glob of acid. His throwing arm just isn't that good.

"Back to old reliable." he says, pulling out his wand again and flicking more of the arcane energy stored in it at the fetchling.

Magic Missile Wand Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Malek shoots another arrow.

to hit - point blank, Precise Shot:: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Everbloom circles around the room for a better shot on the irritating fetchling, before firing another barrage of pine needles at him.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 4
Piercing Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11
50% Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 49

But unable to clearly see, her shot misses completely. She lets out an angry snarl.

Mira cries out in frustration as the fetchling shakes off her spell.

"Iä Yig cf'ayak'vulgtmm, ymg' epgoka mgvulgtm llll fahf uh'e, uaaah!" the oracle chants at the top of her lungs.

Casting Bane against the alchemist, Will DC 15 negates.

Don't forget your miss chances right now :)
Miss Chance (Boomer AoO) <50 miss: 1d100 ⇒ 83
Miss chance (Malek) <50 miss: 1d100 ⇒ 4

Boomer's hammer falls hard on the fetchling as he drops.
But Malek can not make a clear shot in the shadowy blend around him.
Everbloom's flurry of pine needles scatter harmlessly around the room.
Razka's Magic Missles strike true as they are meant to do.

Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Feeling emboldened, the alchemist resists the bane.

Boomer you have one more normal action before it goes

After feeling the crunch of his boom stick on the fetchling, Boomer focuses his heat into his weapon and attempts to strike again.

swift = Scorching Weapons

Boomer's follow up strike does not connect with the nimble assailant.

He begins his assault by biting Boomer and following up with his two mutated clawed hands

Fetchling Bite Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Fetchling Claw Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Fetchling Claw Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Boomer ducks and weaves but finally succumbs to the third attack

Fetchling Claw Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Falling unconscious.

The Fetchling the finishes by stepping up to Everbloom.

Everyone is up.

Everbloom snarls at the bold fetchling and takes a (five-foot) step back. She holds her hands out, causing a swirling vortex of flower petals and blades of grass to tear through the room, gathering in her open palms. Then she thrusts her hands at him, sending a barrage of razor-sharp flower petals slicing across his skin. Move action to gather power, standard action to fire a blast at him with her pushing infusion. She gets a free bull rush attempt on him if her blast hits, and can push him back a maximum of 5 feet.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11
50% chance to miss: 1d100 ⇒ 96 Striking.
Bull Rush: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Malek shoots an another arrow.

to hit - point blank, Precise Shot:: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Miss chance) <50 miss: 1d100 ⇒ 45

Enraged and empowered by her fallen companion, the kitsune's blast shreds the fetchling throwing his lifeless body in to the wall.

"Finally!" Razka says, going up to the fetchling and giving it a kick in the ribs. He leaves it up to Mira to heal Boomer back up. Leave the experts to do their work and all...

He approaches the flayed man, specifically examining the rune on his forehead and trying to determine what it would take to erase it and what the results of that would be.

Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Everbloom lets out a satisfied yip of victory. She joins Razka in stomping on the fetchlings corpse before tossing her nose into the air and strutting off.

She sticks out her wounds at the resident wand wielder and states, "Heal me."

Someone Heals Everbloom: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 Used one wand charge. Is it Malek who has a wand? Thanks!

"Can someone heal! You can use my wand."
