Serpent Skull- Beer and Pretzels (Inactive)

Game Master drbuzzard

Both of the monkey creatures duck back into total cover realizing that a thrown coconut at this range just ain't gonna cut it.

PCs are up.

Rubani makes his way to the monkey creatures.

is the area difficult terrain?

Nope, it's normal terrain. It's in use a fair bit so kept clear of vines and underbrush.

Move up after Rubani.

Still a couple people are up here.

I move up a bit as this terrain looks a little rough to move around in.

Nuala stands pat then.

Monkeys volley coconuts at Rubani.

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 2 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 miss
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 18 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 hit
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 4 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 miss
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 13 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 miss

PCs are up.

Lalali flies over and asks:
Can you guys manage this or do you need some magical backup? I could easily try to roast them as a whole, but then if you manage i could also save up on spells. Just let me know!

Rubani moves closer to the monkeys.

are they normal monkeys or the humanoids? can I reach them?

Charu-kai like all the other monkey men you have been fighting. Your lazy GM just shortened it.

If I can attack...

Rubani swings.

greatsword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 4) + 7 = 12

Hit, still up.

I might have a new life link coming online soon.

.

Guess it's best if you open a new round or make some form of round-up post here drbuzzard?

I'm debating how to drop thm all in. There's really no great place for a jail so they either have to wander in from nowhere, or I could be really cheesy and just have them spawn in like it was some video game. I'm willing to go with what level of silly people prefer.

Also, I'd like to make sure everyone is all ready with their new characters, as I'd prefer them not to be fiddled with.

Old party:

You continue your fight with the monkey one. One of them throws a lucky coconut and Malok goes down, with a caved in skull. Dino go overs and sniffs him, realizing that his master his dead, and howls.

New party:

You are outside the walls of an ancient ruin in the jungle. It's apparently the goal of the expedition as you see signs of Azlanti construction, and it is obviously very old and overgrown.

Inside you hear a loud howl of anguish, from some beast.

PCs are up.

Ausk grunts at the nearby Pathfinders

An animal...

Kn:Nature?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

If Ausk realizes what type he'll say so.

Looking at the others Lucian quickly weaves a spell to boost his combat prowess. "Let us investigate!"
Cast bulls strength

You think it is some small dinosaur.

Bahari frowns and looks for a gap in the broken wall or a decent way over it.

Buzzard, is there a gap in the wall we can go through, or is the wall climbable so we can get eyes on the dino?

Climb: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24 w/ring

Plenty of gaps in the wall, it's quite old, and hardly a wall anymore. Most of it is more like difficult terrain than a climbing challenge.

Grand.
Bahari tries to sneak through a convenient gap in the wall and looks for the roaring beast.

Stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Lucian looks at the Dinosaur and carefully selects an arrow, knocking it and drawing the bowstring back to his ear.
"Ready!"

Lucian, you don't see any targets nearby.

Bahari starts sneaking into the outpost. He can tell that the howls are coming from the north (V on the map). Might take you a little bit of time to get there (Squares on Tazion map are 75')

Rubani hurries forward.

Rubani, you are still in combat with the monkey men. You hit one last round, but it remained standing.

Ausk says I follow. to the half orc and he follows behind.

Ausk will place a hand on Lucian's arm, and whisper

Let me try...

Ausk will try and calm the beast down

Wild Empathy!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Ausk, you are making your way to where the dinosaur is howling, you are not yet there (you can keep the roll for when you arrive, it will be a few rounds).

Bahari starts moving through the ruins towards the sounds of the beast.

I've got a base move of 40', so a double move of 80'. I don't mind getting a little ahead of the team to try and get eyes on the situation.

Moving forward to keep with the others, letting the others take the brunt.

Hmm, looking at the distance, I'll just have to arrive in combat in 2 rounds (which means you arrived a while back, it's too far to start you at the wall).

Rubani? You can attack.

Rubani attacks the creatures near him

Melee +1 greatsword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 2) + 7 = 11

iterative

Melee +1 greatsword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 6) + 7 = 18

if I drop one I can use cleaving finish to hit the other one next to it

roll?

Melee +1 greatsword: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 5) + 7 = 15

Hit, hit,, drop, hit

Anything from Lalali or Hindi?

For the new folks, please add in your HP and max HP to your stat line and keep it up to date so I can quickly see if you are injured and need healing.

I don't think anyone was injured to trigger life link this round. So I'm delaying until needed.

"Am I supposed to scoop up the stuff with the coconuts? I don't remember what I was going to do with this one in my hand."

Lalali notices the newcomers with surprise...
Oh look at that! There are other civilized beings in this forsaken hinterlands! And they might even be helpful!

Would save up on spells now, since it seems this is over soon.

Ausk steps forward and raises his hand in greeting.

We are sent by the Pathfinders. You have not sent back word in time.

Monkey men again attack Rubani as the others arrive (by once more throwing coconuts).

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 9 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 12 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

For the sake of expediency, the new people are on the map at V1.

The mwangi eyes widen in surprise at the strange scene: grieving dinosaur, poop-flinging giant monkeys, tiny humanoid with large eyes, and a pale elven woman. He nods politely as words fail him. Turning to the task at hand - the monkeys - Bahari swings north of the Bog (of Eternal Stench) trying to flank their furry opposition.

double-move (80') along the north side of the boggy looking area, trying to close with #3. I'd be happy to move my own token but I'm not sure what if anything counts as difficult terrain and if any of those walls act as an impediment.

Hey Hindi, I'll post a Status spoiler during combat so you can see my current HP and other effects. Is that good enough?

Boggy looking area is actually tar pits. The monkey men are up on platforms above ground level.

The status spoiler is fine with me.

Hey Hindi, I'll post a Status spoiler during combat so you can see my current HP and other effects. Is that good enough?

Fine with me. I just need to know when life link with trigger and then I need to heal. Which I'll be setting up some life links after this battle.

Following slowly with bow drawn and ready Lucius keeps vigilant to be prepared if the faceeater appears.
Perc: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Rubani?

sorry I missed this! can we get to 3 and 4? if so I'll double move

"There more up there!"

From V3 on th map you can reach the square of 4.

3 would require reach or a ranged weapon.

If I can move and hit 4 then

Rubani swings at the monkey men.

attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 6) + 7 = 17

You hit him, hard, but he remains standing.

He clubs you with a coconut.

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 7 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 miss

The other one throws one at you.

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 2 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 miss

PCs are up.

No life links trigger and nobody appears injured so delaying.

Bahari charges across the wooden bridge and tries to plant a kick into the back of the monkey creature.
