Scions of the Sky Key [Core] (Inactive)

Game Master Zizazat

Radagast does his best to hurl himself up the cliff-face.

Strength: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22.

It is a sad day when the wizard and Druid outclimbs this cleric.
Strength Check 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 <---Faints.

The Tyrannosaurus was just behind. Beorin puts a hand up and slips.

He remembered about The Tyrannosaurus that was just behind......

He tries again, his hold not firm.....What he would do with a divine hammer he thinks.....

Cathryn looks at the dwarf's collapse and gets angry with him to the point where she loses control. She decides to try and help him by carrying him if she can. Entering rage again.

Strength: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Beorin has problems, but finally you all make it up to the top, out of reach of the dinosaur. The tyrannosaurus catches up to the Aspis agents and tears them to pieces. Unfortunately you broke two of the eggs during the escape race.

The journey back to the grippli village takes several hours and is uneventful compared to your flight from Deepblood Ravine.

At the outskirts of the Krihirik village, grippli possessions lie scattered about as if they were dropped or tossed carelessly from the dwellings above. Where before gripplis hurried about the village, now none are to be found. Shouting from the direction of the elders’ hut carries through the empty jungle — "Find the others!" — followed by the loud crash of something falling to the jungle floor.

Knowledge(Nature): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25.

Radagast whistles in appreciation.

"That's a Kaava sun pear. It glows with soft yellow light equivalent to that of a candle for 8 hours after being picked. During this time, if somebody eats the fruit, it confers the benefits of cure moderate wounds and neutralize poison."

When the party arrives at the Grippli village, he sighs in exasperation.

"Looks like there's trouble. Let's see what we can do to clear it up..."

He then casts Longstrider, and moves forward in the direction of the noise.

Whichever of the dwellings that happens to be - put me 30' closer ;-)

Radagast moves closer to the village and sees two aspis agents making trouble. One of them toppled the ladder. A panter sits close to a tree trunk under one of the wooden bridges.

Tariq loads his crossbow and fires it at the blue Aspis agent!

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + (5) = 9

Cathryn sighs in disgust.

I am tired of the constant battles, she thinks to herself glumly.

She moves ahead with her scimitar, but while she passes Tariq, she whispers, Tariq, if I keep him busy, can you surprise him from behind?"

"I'm over here, mister. Let's see how well you fare against a woman who can render all but your best attacks useless."

Tariq fires a bolt at the agent on the bridge and hits while Cathryn tries to come up with a strategy.

Cathryn will approach her enemy, blocking his view of Tariq entirely.

She will maintain her style of combat expertise, sacrificing combat power for increased defense, but because she moved, she's not able to use her more typical total defense, so she might actually hit him with her scimitar.

Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 + 1 AC.

Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 Just in case.

Oh well. Her real aim is to allow the rouge to attempt a sneak attack and/or possibly flank anyway.

Ray of frost att: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 1d3 ⇒ 1

Radagast cautiously moves forward (5' step), repositions the ladder (move equivalent), and cheerfully addresses the panther.

"Hello Kitty! Do you want to be my friend?"

Wild Empathy: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (17) + 0 = 17.

Irisus throws a ray of frost at one of the Aspis agents, but misses. Radagast repositions the ladder and tries to calm the panther down. The panther has the order to attack strangers so it just grows and shows its fangs. unfriendly attitude

The Aspis agent on the western bridge shoots an arrow at Radagast with his longbow but the arrow misses its target and gets stuck in the grass.
Longbow vs. Radagast: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Cathryn tries to block the view at Tariq. The attack with the scimitar misses.

I'm not sure if this is clear, the Aspis agents are on the wooden bridges, you can not hit them with melee weapons from below. If you want to climb up you can do it either via the trees (climb DC12) or the ladder which Radagast just set up.

Then Cathryn will climb up the ladder.

Beorin heads towards teh ladder as well, making sure to give the angry cat a wide berth........his grip firm on his hammer, just in case he needs it.

Beorin and Cathry head towards the ladder and start to climb up. You need one more move action to get up to the wooden bridge.

The other agent shoots an arrow at Tariq with his longbow.
Arrow vs. Tariq: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

One more move action is used.

Ray of frost

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 61d3 ⇒ 2

Beorin waits for the half orc to ascend before following suit.

While Irisus throws a ray of frost at one of the Aspis Agents, Tariq fires another arrow at the one on the eastern bridge. The scout drops from the bridge and hits the jungle ground. "Stop making friends and kill those thugs!" you hear a voice coming out of the hut in the middle.

"Nice Kitty!"

Wild Empathy: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15.
Wild Empathy - GM Star Re-roll: 1d20 + 0 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 0 + 5 = 24.

The ladder is currently a bit crowded, so I figure this is the best use of Radagast's time, at least for the moment - and is entirely in keeping with his character :-P

Nice use of Wild Empathy. Mind if I borrow this idea from you.

Cathryn, now up the ladder, goes to the Aspis agent.

"Look at all the trouble you people have caused. You should be ashamed of yourselves," she excoriates him.

Total defense (her usual standard) battle style.

Attack: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (16) - 4 = 12 + 3 AC.

Radagast continues to calm down the panther and the animal sits down, still growling and moving its tail from one side to the other.

The aspis agent with the red coat shoots an arrow at Cathryn at the ladder.
Longbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Cathryn moves up to the Aspis agent and swings her weapon at the man. "You are not better, I heard you killed a bunch of kobolds a few days ago." the man answers.

The Panther ignores Radagast and rushes over to Tariq. that's an Aoo for Radagast

Tariq steps back, reloading his crossbow and fires it at the panther! "Bad kitty!"

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
1d8 ⇒ 8

"Ouch!" Mutters Beorin seeing Tariq's actions.
He makes his way up the ladder now and looks around for targets or for hostiles about to spill his blood.

"Boys, there's someone in the hut!" Cathryn calls out, pointing his presence out to the fellows. Then she turns back to her adversary. "They were preparing captured miners for sacrifice. I should have stopped the bloodshed with diplomacy instead of losing my temper. It is to my eternal shame that I failed.
"But I needn't fail with you and your mates. Surrender and you will survive."

Diplomacy: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (13) - 2 = 11

oups

Now, i wonder. Are we better than them.

I don't think that rescuing hostage is the same has you do. Unless you have found that the grappli sacrificed people.

At least, we are more talented than you. At each turn, we best you. We are just five are we are winning!

diplo: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

While Irisus and Cathryn try to resolve the situation with diplomacy Tariq attacks the panter, but misses.

"An Aspis Agent will never surrender to an Pathfinders coward!" the man shouts back and hurls a knife at Cathryn.
Ranged dagger: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

"Yeah, 5 cowards who are winning against a whole expedition of aspis. We will find the venture captain before you!"

Cathryn easily parries the knife with her defensive combat style, then enters her not-really-intending-to-harm-but total defense battle technique.

Attack: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (3) - 4 = -1 + 3 AC

"catryn buy a sap when this is finish if you don't want to harm."

-Posted with Wayfinder

I meant it figuratively, as in that Cathryn's attacks have managed to hit someone one time, maybe twice, and that's it. Her combat is better for raising her ac than for doing damage.

"No, no! Silly kitty! I know it doesn't seem like it, but he is a friend..."

With a sigh, climbs the ladder.

Double move, which I believe gets me to the top.

Gosh... I should have use my time stop spell for something else than eating an apple.

Radagast moves up the ladder, passing Beorin who already sweats, reaching the top next to Cathryn.

Cathryn continues her defensive efforts, this time returning to total defense style.

Attack: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (9) - 4 = 5 + 3 AC.

It was perception instead of attack because I didn't notice it as I was posting it, and then when I went to edit it, the Internet crashed. It's only partially functional now.

@Cathryn: That is a rather unique fighting style; how do you manage to get Perception to give you a bonus to AC? ;-)

Cathryn continues to fight defensively while the panther has to decide between Irisus and Tariq. 1d2 ⇒ 2 After a second of thinking the cat attacks Irisus.
Claw left vs. Irisus: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Claw right vs. Irisus: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Tariq can move before.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Tariq moves away from the murderous kitty and fires his crossbow again!

I assume I can stand under the elevated walkway? If not just move me 5' south.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5 Also sneak damage if it becomes relevant 1d6 ⇒ 1.

Cathryn looks at the spellcasters and admits to herself that she feels left out.

Perhaps when this is over, I should tell them everything about my people and the wonders they worked. Especially Radagast.

Returning her focus to her battle, Cathryn continues total defense.

Attack: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (10) - 4 = 6 + 3 AC.

The Panther is up the tree isn't it? if so Beorin will move towards it. Else Beorin will attempt to hit the closest enemy.
Attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 241d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Confirmation 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 82d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 5) + 3 = 11

Seeing his companion having some problem with their foes, Beorin moves to aid them swinging his hammer.

No, the Panther is on the floor, in front of Irisus.

Beorin reaches between Radagast and Cathryn to hit the Aspis archer. He lands a hit, but the guy does not drop. Irisus takes a step back and casts a spell at the cat and the cat stares directly into the rainbow.
Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 4HD

Fiveknives hurls another dagger at Cathryn, but the dagger misses and gets stuck in a wooden plank.
Dagger: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 9 - 4 = 11

MW Cold Iron Scythe: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26, for 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 6 = 11 damage.

Crit Confirmation: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20, for 6d4 + 18 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2) + 18 = 29 *ADDITIONAL* damage.

...calmly turning him into a cloud of red mist, Radagast moves forward to engage the remaining Aspis.

Slight liberty there, but I figured it was safe to say that he was dead after that ;-)

Radagast finishes off the Aspis Agent with a mighty blow, the head hits the ground before the rest of the body dropped from the bridge.
