Rise of the Runelords Book 1 Table 2 PFS (Inactive)

Game Master DoubleGold

Goblins are now dead
Where to now?

C12, C16, C17, C18 please

Lynn stops her hymn rather quickly, "Seems our resident singing monkey isn't having any issues with my caravaner's curse. I just didn't want you to have all the fun and over work yourself Jey." She laughed a bit glad that things were going smoothly once again.
"Actually, Jey how is it that you came to work with the pathfinders? As far as i'm aware your people are rather new initiates to the society correct? You're the first Oread i think i've had the pleasure of meeting, but you are rather quiet.. until battle of course.

"Very well, Jeydahvu, I shall resume wielding the Sword of Aroden. I think it was not needed for such trivial foes, but I am happy to resume."
The wizard is fine with the rooms Jeydavhu picked.

Jeydahvu nods at Aroden; to Lynn, he says, "I am of the Scorpion Coast. Our secluded village met with one of your Pathfinder teams. They acted honorably and helped us against our enemies. No longer shall we act alone in mortal world. We are now traveling, learning and sharing. I became a Pathfinder to honor back your Society, and if I am lucky to be allowed to return to my village to rest my bones against the Deepstones when I get old, I will pass along what I have learned to our young ones."

Anyone out there?

C12, C16, C17, C18 please

I'm fine with these rooms, of anyone was waiting on me. But it's a holiday weekend in the US and also PaizoCon so things may be slow.

Heroes move inot C 16 the Exercise Yard. This large courtyard is open to the sky. Tenacious clumps of partially trampled grass grow fitfully here and there in the hard-packed earth, in places stained with blood or scratched with furrows. To the north, what appear to be two dead goblin lie slumped at the entrance to an outbuilding.
C 12 was already explored as well, just a food storage area

You see 4 goblin dogs, and these guys aren't going to stay tame or be tame.
init: 5 + 1d20 ⇒ 5 + (8) = 13 Lynn
init: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (3) = 5 Faliana
init: 1d20 ⇒ 14 Jeydahvu
init: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (15) = 17 Mr. Monty
init: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (19) = 21 Aroden
init: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (8) = 10 dogs

"FOR SANDPOINT!!"
Aroden swings the Sword of Aroden as per usual. It's awesome.

Lynn moved forward with the other melee but stuck near the wall shooting into the dogs with the crossbow before they all charged in.
attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
dmg(hvy X-bow): 1d10 ⇒ 7

oh wow didn't realize the heavy crossbow was so strong need to keep a reminder it takes a full-round to reload though.

+2 Sacred bonus to attacks, saves, skills if within 30' of Aroden. Pretty sure a 16 hits a goblin dog anyway.

Jeydahvu strides towards a goblin dog and brings down his sword, spikes exploding out of his granite-like skin, Greatsword, Rage, Power Attack, Aroden: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 2 = 28 for 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (6, 4) + 15 = 25 slashing damage.

AC 18: pro vs. evil, rage; scroll of shield tucked in pants

Mr. Monty is up, then the dogs, but he is away at a Con and said to bot him if needed.

As soon as the group starts to approach the building, Faliana starts falling behind, clearly distracted, muttering half sentences to her self about how the place was probably not a building of great magical purposes and definitely is not devoted to the worship of the moon.

She stays distracted, almost seeming to argue with herself as the group encounters the first set of goblins and dogs, but not even getting a chance to acknowledge their existence, before everyone else puts them down, Faliana stays blissfully unaware.

As they start to move into the next room, she finally starts seeming to reach a crescendo in her one-sided argument. "... really need to learn to realize you're wants and desires are clouding your judgement! And heading off on our own is a STRICT no! I mean why did you spend the last half of your life as a werewolf? You wandered into a forest at night on your own! Seriously, your judgement is ..."

______________
Hmm guess I shouldn't be waiting for the next round of combat to get a post in...

Yeah, bad work schedules again
Okay, so Jeydahvu kills a dog while lynn shoots one
hit: 7 + 1d20 ⇒ 7 + (3) = 10 as mr. monty does his thing
hit: 7 + 1d20 ⇒ 7 + (8) = 15 another attack
dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 as he hits the dog once and kills the injured dog shot by the crossbow

Two dogs one tries to bite Jey bite: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (19) = 21
other tries to bite Mr. Monty bite: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (15) = 17 Mr. Monty takes dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 and he is allergic so fort: 6 + 1d20 ⇒ 6 + (8) = 14
success
Faliana and top of round 2 are up

Aroden's Inspiring Sword adds to saves as well as attacks. He continues waving his sword!

Lynn let's the crossbow slip down, placing her foot on the handle at the front and she starts to wind the string back. "Damn dogs, seriously why do goblins always have so many of them?"

Full round to reload the heavy crossbow

Finishing up her argument, Faliana looks up to finally realize that things have been happening around her. With a shake of her head, she moves closer to the goblins, pulling out her longspear in the process. "Sorry about that. Mariel has a rather rosey view of the world, but just won't ever learn better OR leave things be. He can be a real pain sometimes."

AS she gets closer, the half-elf takes a moment to line up a thrust, before trying to skewer one of the dogs.

___________
Move to draw weapon and move 20', standard to attack!
Mwk Longspear, Arodenized: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Okay, so Jeydahvu will attack hit: 10 + 1d20 ⇒ 10 + (4) = 14 his min damage will kill it
hit: 7 + 1d20 ⇒ 7 + (7) = 14
hit: 7 + 1d20 ⇒ 7 + (12) = 19 this is mr monty attacking the dogs. dmg: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 3) + 4 = 12
Combat over
You open one of the other rooms to find a black horse going wild? Do you wish to tame it? Handling animal. Food might help.

Yess! food is handed over to horse.

Handle Animal Assist: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

While she knows nothing about calming animals down Lynn starts to sing a lullaby to the horse hoping to help calm it down.
handle animal(untrained): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
casting lullaby Dc14 Will save, failing means the target and anything in a 10-ft burst at initial cast(whoops) becomes drowsy and inattentive, -5 on perception checks, -2 will against sleep effects.

I think Handle Animal is trained only, and none of us are trained.
Aroden also offers some food to the horse, but can't do much for it. "We can try to lead someone from the town here to take it home and care for it, after the goblins are defeated."
Close the door and leave the horse here? I don't think it would cross the bridge willingly if we let it run free.

oh crap your right... well lynn will still try to calm it via lullaby at least.

As Faliana looks over at the horse her eyes go vacant and a small dribble of drool starts to form at the corner of her mouth. With a shake of her head she snaps out of Mariel's hunting instincts and slams the door shut. Wiping the drool from her mouth she looks at everyone else. "Sorry, lost control there for just a second. I don't think there's a thing I can do to help a horse right now. Anyone have something they can do? If push comes to shove, we could possibly chase it our of here later but we don't have time for that right now."

When no one seems to respond, Fali gives a nod. "Okay then, we should push on, and leave the horse alone for right now. Where to next? Monty, you always seem to have a way of finding the most deadly thing in a place, why don't you pick?"

After several moments of getting that door open, and finding two dead goblins, you quickly shut that door, you don't tame Shadowmist the back horse.
Okay, so you all explore C17, it is a storage shed with nothing of interest.
You open C18 after much work as it is hard to get open, but a party determined will get it open. Inside, you find Shadowmist, a black horse which has killed 2 goblins and which you have left in the room.

C 22: Meeting room, nothing of interest
C 23: Cheiftain's room: Several animal rugs of dogs and horses, fine and antique chairs. Of course the party is going to throughly search the room, so you find gold and key to a chest.
C 24: Who wants to open the chest? The key opens this. Do you wish to check it for traps?

mk guess we'll ignore the need for a will save... as for the chest i suppose i will check it over.
perc: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Aroden will take a look at the chest as well, not touching anything.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
"I wish I had prepared the spell of opening and closing today. It is very useful in these situations."

Faliana stays well away from the chest, poking at it with her longspear before getting too close. near the chest she gives it a once over, seeing if there's anything wrong with the thing.

___________
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Monty takes the key and pokes it into the chest.

As you wish! He says to Fali, knowing blasted well that's not what she meant.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Faliana jumps back trying to get away from the death-wishly idiotic vanaran. "OOOhhh, you! If you get hurt don't come crying to me! you know well enough what you're getting into here." Despite her angry tone, she still reaches down a pulls a piece of flat, lineated wood out of her belt, and readies it just in case the man gets hurt too much.

mk guess we'll ignore the need for a will save... as for the chest i suppose i will check it over.

sorry skipped over the out of character part. You really want to put the lullably the horse? It still won't tame him. and you need not to fight him. all getting the horse does is allow you to use him in combat. That will just cost you a spell slot.

Nobody spots the trap, dc was 20
hit: 8 + 1d20 ⇒ 8 + (20) = 28 vs Mr. Monty
oouch crit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 dmg: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (4, 3) + 8 = 15 to Mr. Monty
but treasure Inside lots of gold
Masterwork scimitar and masterwork manacles and a medium chain shirt.

C 20: food storage
C 21: armory, 23 dog slicers, 11 shorbows, 80 arrows, 11 suits of studded leather armor, 2 coiled whips, 6 wooden light shields
C 19: Throne Room, where the combat takes place
This large throne room is decorated with hanging furs along the walls, mostly black-and-red striped firepelt skins, various dog pelts, and in some cases what looks like horse hides.

3 goblin commandos
1 goblin warchanter
1 stickfoot giant gecko
1 Warchief Ripnugget

init: 5 + 1d20 ⇒ 5 + (8) = 13 Lynn
init: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (20) = 22 Faliana
init: 1d20 ⇒ 18 Jeydahvu
init: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (6) = 8 Mr. Monty
init: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (9) = 11 Aroden
init: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (17) = 19 the boss red
init: 4 + 1d20 ⇒ 4 + (16) = 20 warchanter dark blue
init: 3 + 1d20 ⇒ 3 + (11) = 14 other goblins
init: 6 + 1d20 ⇒ 6 + (20) = 26 gecko green
If someone would have healed themselves or Mr. Monty before this combat let me know, especially since he took 15 dmg

gecko tries to bite Jey bite: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (14) = 16
Faliana is up Everyone can post actions and what they plan on doing, you need not to wait for her or other enemies. Though you can recon it or whatever. Like attack boss if I can reach boss, I'll move you if need be, if not attack whatever is in my way, burning hands if I can get three enemies without getting allies, etc.

I assume Faliana will heal up monty and then proceed to chew him out mightily.

Aroden is slow on initiative, and may be using some spells, so do not factor in Inspiring Sword on your attacks this round. What he does will depend on what happens - I'll be checking in enough that you won't be waiting on me too long to move things along.

After the chest/loot, and before entering the boss room, Jey grabbed that scroll tucked in his pants and cast Shield on himself. Then he Leeroy Jenkins'ed the heck out of that room!

AC 24

lullaby is a cantrip and i figured it would calm the horse so we'd have better chances. None of us have handle animal but i figured it'd open up a good rp moment or something, we're past it though so it's whatever.
Lynn would fire into the nearest enemy that wasn't engaged in melee with the pre-loaded crossbow if she could do so without hitting her allies. Otherwise she would start her own inspiring warchant.

I assume Faliana will heal up monty and then proceed to chew him out mightily.

You might know me too well! That's exactly what she'd do.

Faliana just gives a sigh as she watches Monty almost blow up with the chest. "I swear that man... Alrighty, let's get to healing!"

She takes her flat piece of wood and whacks the man on both wrists and then his forehead. While doing so she incants "*Whack* Shameful! *Whack* Negligent *Whack* Unacceptable" The first time she performs it beautifully, causing some of his wounds to close, but the second she accidentally sticks it in one of the gaping lacerations across Monty's body and stops for a second. A third try results in the blood causing her wand to start sparking and the go inert.

_____________
UMD: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
UMD: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
UMD: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Opps, there goes that wand for today...

*Whack* Shameful! *Whack* Negligent *Whack* Unacceptable: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Monty: 23 damage

She would still be able to use a different wand or someone can use hers, but she can't use her wand for another 24 hours. Can someone help save my monkey boy? :'(
____________

Tucking the wand back into her pocket, Faliana gives a frown. "You know we could make a business out of your nose for things that almost kill you... Mr. Monty: Trap Magnet and Evil-Doer Pincushion! 50 Gold a Danger Attracted! Available by Appointment only."

After a second she gives a sigh though her teasing tone fading as well. " But seriously this makes how many times I've seen you in a giant pool of your own blood? 5-6? You're going to run out of luck one of these days, and I don't know if I'm gonna be able to help you..." She says the last bit, hold back tears. With a second to look away and compose herself she looks back at the rest of the group. " Anybody got something I can heal him with?"

_______________

EDIT: Dangit, Giant gecko! Getting in my way. Uhhh, I have almost no time to edit this.

Faliana moves closer to Jed with her spear in hand and takes a second remember ways of handling fighting past allies, before striking out.

___________
move to Martial Flexibility into Phalanx Formation and then standard to strike
Mwk Longspear: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Monkey boy has his own wand remember. :)

OUCH! Oof! IPe! YOWZA!

The curses that flow forth after the last bit are kind of impressive actually.

Fali, sweety, don't take this the wrong way, but please don't do that? That.... that hurt. And not in a monkey busniess kinda way!

He winces as he pulls out his own wand and presses it into her hand.

I did learn a FEW things in the mwangi, like picking up my own wand... just in case.

He raises up a furry hand to her face and dries her eyes.

Now now, no need to worry baby... I'll always bounce back. You couldn't get rid of me if you tried! Hahahaha.

Aroden also has a wand of CLW (38 charges) and is willing to let anyone use it.

in the past before we hit these goblins
3 uses will bring lynns' CLW wand down to 27 charges honestly it's paid for itself about a dozen times now.
Lynn smiles warmly at the two and their exchange and pulls her own wand from her belt with a flick, carefully handing over the crossbow to Aroden for a few moments.
"Careful it's ready to fire."

She moved over and spoke sweetly,"Tadpole. Tadpole. Tadpole." with each repetition of the word she'd tap monty lightly each time his wounds sealing a bit more until he was without a scratch. It looked as if even his clothing was ready to stitch itself back up to mimic his flesh.
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

"I probably should have mentioned that i could open the chest from a distance using magic. Sorry, don't worry Faliana we're all in this together and we gotta keep all of the monkeys patched up." She snickered a bit at her prod towards the others. She'd stash her wand again on her belt and retrieve the crossbow from Aroden, "Thanks love."

Healed up, when they bust down the door to deal with goblins, Monty dodges over Jey, using him as a frog hop to leap over the gecko!...

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31 To move through gecko's square.

sense motive: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28 snake style to not be hit by first attack.

Standing next to the gecko in the room now, he procedes to thwak it with his staff.

Quarterstaff: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Strike Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Falian kills the Gecko
Mr. Monty, that is a miss on anything
Lynn misses
Warchanter will try to Daze Faliana will save dc 13 or be dazed
The boss will get into melee with Jey, since Mr. Monty wasn't in that spot when he went and attack hit: 10 + 1d20 ⇒ 10 + (5) = 15 dmg: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 He misses anyhow
Jeydahvu and Aroden are up then commando goblins.

The red box is the boss, and the blue box is the warchanter? With the commandos behind?
Prescience Pre-Roll: 1d20 ⇒ 1Not using that. Might have tried Thunderstomp if it was a better roll.
Aroden resumes Inspiring Sword, figuring that this party's martial capabilities can handle the fight. Doesn't apply to Faliana's save vs the Daze, but will apply to all future saves.
"Foul goblin, your DOOM is at hand!"
+2 sacred bonus to saves, attacks, and skills - including Mr. Monty's Snake Style, since that roll actually happens as an immediate action when he is attacked.

Rage + Power Attack:
Greatsword, Rage, Power Attack, ARODEN: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 = 19 for 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (4, 1) + 15 = 20 slashing damage.

If enemy is heavily armored, no power attack, just rage:
Greatsword, Rage, ARODEN: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 2 = 28 for 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 5) + 9 = 15 slashing damage.

AC 22

Jeydahvu swings at the heavily armored goblin dealing 15 damage to him.
The other goblins shoot at Jey hit: 3d20 ⇒ (13, 14, 11) = 38 add 4 to each hit, they'll have to roll 18 to hit. And all three miss with their bows
Faliana is up and a will save dc 13 or you're dazed this round.

Faliana feels a slight moment of mental fog as the warchanter starts to chant a spell, but she is able to quickly shake off the feeling, and glares at the bastard trying to remove her from the fight. With a few steps she moves up behind Jed before sliding over to where Monty is standing. She gives the monkey man a hug as she passes ending up right next to the man. "Hi sweetie, mind if I join you in taking the bastard casting spells at me out?"

With a smile, she turns her attention to the warchanter and takes a stab at him.

____________
Will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Not sure if she can move in a way that doesn't provoke from the warchief. If the way she is moving is not legal or still provokes she'll take the AoO.
Stabby, Stabby, Mwk Longspear, Arodenated: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

gonna try to get us rolling again with an out of order post. Also actioms are drop weapon(free), ready weapon(move), and since i had it pre-loaded from earlier attack(standard)
Lynn would drop the great crossbow down and pull her pistol free from her belt and fired it at the chieftain(gecko if he's dead).

att+aroden: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 = 24
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1
1damage :/ well at least its probably against touch

Faliana misses, but lynn puts a well placed shot on the boss. My other dming games are done, so I'm less likely to forget about these Rise of the Runelords games updating daily.
The other goblins fire bows at lynn hit: 3d20 ⇒ (8, 14, 4) = 26 add 4 to each, then factor in hard cover, so equals out.
All miss
oh, gecko bite bite: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (4) = 6 vs Jey
and warchanter will have Faliana make another will save dc 13, he tries again.
Mr. Monty, Aroden, Jeydahvu round 2 and Faliana round 3 are up

Does the warcaster have a way to avoid an AoO for casting the daze?If not:

Faliana blinks at the warchanter as he finishes his spell.
Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 But the magics filter off her mind like water off a ducks back. An especially angry duck that didn't want to get wet even though it wasn't bothered by the water. An angry duck with a sharp pointy stick that it uses to lash out at the source of the water.

Mwk Longspear, Arodenization: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

"*Angry Quack*"
"Take that and stop bloody casting spells at me... and just die already!"

Faliana stabs the Warchanter twice killing him.

Aroden is sorely tempted to step up and blast the commandos with the holy fire of Burning Hands. But he restrains himself.
Our glory is not just in ourselves, but in the greatness of our companions, he thinks. He continues waving the Sword of Aroden.
