Game Master Rene Duquesnoy

Getting frustrated at her ineffectiveness, Seelah narrows her eyes, focuses on the goblin, swings...

Attack|Power Attack|Smite Evil: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 9 - 2 + 3 = 14
Damage|Power Attack|Smite Evil: 1d20 + 4 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 6 + 4 = 33

... and misses yet again.

I am just now realizing that I applied the wrong attack modifiers to the attack before my last one. Seelah's longsword has a +9, not a +4. That my explain any descrepancies observant Pathfinders are seeing in Seelah's attacks

At least your damage would have been a 1d20 :)

I'm pretty focused on the details, as you can tell

Jasper will wait for Hugo to attack the goblin first.

Hugo - Power Attack with Bite/Claw/Claw:
Bite Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Bite Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Claw Attack 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Claw Damage 1: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Claw Attack 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Claw Damage 2: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

And if the goblin is still up, Jasper will fire two arrows at the goblin with his longbow

Jasper - Point Blank, Precise Shot, and Rapid Shot with the Longbow
Longbow Attack 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Longbow Damage 1: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Longbow Attack 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Longbow Damage 2: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

If necessary, confirming the crit on Jasper's first longbow shot
Longbow Attack 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Longbow Damage 1: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 3) + 6 = 12

Aha! the gnome exclaims, digging feverishly in his haversack. I have just the thing, I think, in here...somewhere...

Lazlo moves forward and draws his wand of burning hands.

If the goblin is still alive Eolowyn fires another arrow.

Attack, PBS, Precise Shot, Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 28
Damage, PBS, DA: 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 7
Crit confirmation
Attack, PBS, Precise Shot, Deadly Aim, Trait+FCB: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 - 1 + 2 = 15
Damage, PBS, DA: 2d8 + 4 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 + 2 + 4 = 16

The goblin falls on from the well placed arrow.

You loot Snarltongue and find 3 alchemists fire, hide armor, and +1 battleaxe. Behind the table on the dais is a bucket filled with rotten viscera from Krenar’s previous experiments. Laying next to the table is a bird feather token.

Before she moves to inspect the item Lirianne reloads both her pistols, and puts one back in its holster. Lirianne walks up to the bucket, and quickly takes her distance from it once she sees its contents. "Oh... gross..."

Lazlo, on the other hand, is not nearly as squeamish. Fascintaing! the gnome exclaims, thoroughly digging through and investigating the contents of the bucket. It makes one wonder what this fellow was up to. Hmm, now let's see...

He will, of course, use detect magic (eventually) and take 10 on his Spellcraft check for a 19.

Jasper will use this moment climb down (take 10 for an 11) to heal Hugo, who was struck by the mutant goblin. He'll do so with his wand of Cure Light Wounds.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

He'll then look at the rest of the group and ask, "Does anyone else need healing?"

Seelah raises her armored hand to the top of her head and blinks her eyes several times. I suppose that fall shook me up more than I expected. I didn't hit that goblin once. It's a good thing we've got such skilled archers and our grizzly friend Hugo here. I promise that next time I will be more focused!

Jasper, I'm a bit scratched up, if you wouldn't mind using my wand of cure light wounds.

"Of course, Seelah. Allow me."

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
of healing to Seelah (from Seelah's Wand of Cure Light Wounds)

Lazlo searches the table and it looks like there have been some modifications going on. Snarltongue has a few potions embedded in his head, and could have been done on the table.

Seelah walks over to the table eyeing the bird feather token. Is there anything special about this? Lazlo, have any thoughts?

Eolowyn climbs down and gives the operation a look-over. "Disgusting what was done to that goblin. Even though they are annoying creatures, no one should tamper like that with nature!"

"It makes me wonder which other creatures we'll encounter here..." Lirianne turns away from Lazlo and the bucket, disgusted by what Lazlo's doing. "Yuck..."

When you are ready (no rush) there are passages to NW, E, and back the way you came (to another door). There are doors W, SW, S, and E.

"Shall we enter the passageway to the east? I see no reason to choose one possible way over another, so I suppose we just pick one and see where that leads us."

GM, is it possible to mark unexplored passages / doors on roll20?

done

"Sure, the pasage to the east is fine with me. Lots to explore here!"

Jasper then pats his small bear reassuringly. The bear snorts.

You head towards the east and notice that the footing in these debris-choked caverns is pretty treacherous. You have to take your time moving (5 ft per round) or you suddenly become off balance and could fall prone. You move to the larger part of the cave. Part of this chamber is in total ruin. The western half of this room appears to have mostly collapsed, though jagged openings peer to into a dark cavern. The east half of the chamber is filled with small chests and barrels. Most are covered in dust, but some appear to have been recently disturbed.

Please update your tokens

Lazlo, who has diligently been studying the various bits within the bucket, reluctantly pulls himself away from cataloging what he's seen to rejoin the group.

At Lirianne's horrified expression, he looks down to realize that his torso is caked with the foul remnants of the bucket. He casts prestidigitation to clean himself up and attempts to engage the gunslinger in a lively, animated conversation about the various goblin, rat, and other creatures' internal organs he discovered within the treasure trove of the bucket.

Lazlo is mystified, of course, that Lirianne is not nearly as interested in his findings as he is.

Seelah starts slowly down the rubble strewn passage. Seeing what horrible experiments have been taking place here, I would bet that there is considerable risk we encounter the creature that caused this destruction.

Eolowyn moves forward to the chests. Looking at the tracks in the dust and debris she tries to determine what creature could have disturbed the chests. While doing this she consults her footprint book.

Survival, track, footprint book: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 26

Eolowyn thinks the tracks belong to goblins. Hard to see if there are different sets.

You also find 4 vials of alchemist fire and 6 vials of acid. One chest contains diamond dust worth 500gp

Diamond dust? says Lazlo. Why, that can be used for so many different spells: stoneskin, for instance; restoration, for divine caster types; or two of these for impart mind, which allows one to literally give someone a piece of their mind, haha!

"It should be no surprise that goblins have been here before us. I suggest we go north now." and Eolowyn turns left at the chests, bow in hand.

Seelah joins Eolowyn in the hallway and passes her (barring anything scary after the fog of war is removed). Eolowyn, please allow me to lead the way. I am eager to make up for my poor performance against that altered goblin.

Seelah comes to a door, and the party does the door opening procedures.

This chamber might have once been some sort of study, but it has fallen into ruin. The entire northeast corner of the chamber has collapsed, apparently because of some sort of drilling machine that emerged from the southwest corner and is now half-buried under the rubble to the northeast. The debris-choked tunnel from which it emerged is plainly visible. Wooden doors lie to both the south and west.

please continue to move your tokens as you do things in here

Jasper will give the rubble (and the half-buried machine) a look-see...

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Lirianna places a hand over Lazlo's mouth when he continues to talk about the intestines he inspected. When the gnome starts rattling about yet another topic, Lirianne quickly joins Jasper to help him investigate the new area.

Geez, my ears!

Perception, aid Jasper: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Ooh! Lazlo squeaks in excitement, rummaging about in his haversack and fishing out a quill and some parchment. I love machines! Let me take some notes on its schematics...

If possible, Lazlo will Take 20 on Perception with the machine, studying its construction and to see how it works.

When Jasper approaches the rubble, an earth elemental jumps out scarylike.

It swings at jasper
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Initiatives
Seelah: 1d20 ⇒ 9
Jasper: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Lirianne: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Eolowyn: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Lazlo: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Hugo: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

Round 1
* Lazlo
Earthy
Eolowyn
Lirianne
Jasper
Seelah
Hugo

"What the @#$%!"

When Eolowyn can act she moves to a position where she has a clear shot and then fires an arrow at the elemental.

Attack, PBS, PA, DA: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 27
Damage, PBS, DA: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9

Posted to not delay anything, it is almost bedtime here, I have already moved Eolowyn on the map.

"Aaah! A stone creature of some sort!"

Kn(planes): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Jasper, my good man, this is not "a stone creature of some sort," this is an earth elemental, a denizen of the Plane of Earth, don't you know. Lazlo watches as it moves aggressively toward the halfling. Er, ah...usually not dangerous, though perhaps this one is different. Now as an elemental, he continues, counting on his fingers, it can't be stunned, or paralyzed, or made to sleep, or poisoned, or affected by that thing where you get on either side of it...what's that called again...?

If his Knowledge check reveals anything beyond elemental traits, he will share that as well.

Lazlo draw a wand from his haversack and move away from the elemental.

The elemental tries to smash Lazlo.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
1d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

SMASH

Then Eolowyn shoots the elemental for 9.

Round 1
Lazlo
Earthy
Eolowyn
* Lirianne
* Jasper
* Seelah
* Hugo

Rene - do you mean Jasper? I know the short guys look alike, so I want to be sure.

Jasper will order Hugo to attack the elemental. Then he'll wait for Hugo to make his move.

Hugo steps in 5ft, and full attacks the elemental.
Bite Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Bite Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Claw Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Claw Damage: 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Claw Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Claw Damage: 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Jasper will then 5ft step into the corner, drop his bow, retrieve his Wand of Cure Light Wounds, and activate it on himself.
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"I'm glad you know what it is, Lazlo! At this point though, I'd rather we stopped it!"

(oops yeah jasper)

Hugo misses 3 times. The elemental tells Hugo he should get on his unicycle and pedal off.

Now that is an intimidating foe!

Seelah runs forward and swings her +1 longsword at the creature

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

"Ka-pow!" Lirianne shoots a bullet at the earth elemental. "Take that!"

Shoot!: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Seelah is lame while Lirianne dominates.

The blade misses and the bullet hit.

Round 2
* Lazlo
Earthy
Eolowyn
Lirianne
Jasper
Seelah
Hugo

Wisely, the gnome steps behind Eolowyn and lets fly with another force strike (exploit).

force strike: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

The elemental will attack
1 Seelah 2 Hugo: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Seelah, then cleave to Hugo.
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
1d8 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Earthy whiffs, so he is done.

Round 2
Lazlo
Earthy
* Eolowyn
* Lirianne
* Jasper
* Seelah
* Hugo

Seeing that the elemental is not really slowed by its wounds Eolowyn grabs her wand with her left hand and activates it on herself. She then drops the wand at her feet.

Gravity Bow

Jasper will continue to deal with his wounds, using another charge from his Wand of Cure Light Wounds
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Hugo will continue to follow his last command, attempting to bite and claw the elemental into rubble.
Bite Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Bite Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Claw Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Claw Damage: 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Claw Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Claw Damage: 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Rolling to confirm Hugo's two crit threats...
Bite Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Bite Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Claw Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Claw Damage: 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
