Shifty PFS Group Alpha (Inactive)

Game Master Nik B.

Kishara waves her hand in mock salute and moves carefully into the hall to check the door to the room adjacent to this one.

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 Trapped? Locked?

Kish makes it across the hall. The first thing she notes is that a number of arrows are sticking out of things and a few loose on the floor.

Obviously they have been fired down the hall, but no enemy are evident.

The opposing door gives little away, it appears to be locked but not trapped. Kish realises there is no cover where she is, and thus will be exposed if any enemy pass by...

Kishara's senses her luck is running out in the hall and zips back to the first room.
"I think trying to head down the hall will leave us open to ranged attack. Let's gather what we can here and then head back to the yard. If that door is locked, I'll be better able to work on it." She then turns her attention to the goblin bodies and searches them for potions they might use, or possibly more keys.

The only thing of note Kishara turns up is a potion of sure light wounds, typical of all the other similar potions with similar markings.

I missed the part about iron bars across the hallway...that does kind of make it difficult to charge down the hall to take out any archers.

Grim notes the arrows at the end of the hall and the iron portcullises that would prevent him from reaching the likely location of the snipers. He quickly re-evaluates his plan and nods at Kishara's proposal to enter through the courtyard and perhaps avoid becoming targets.

The portcullises are probably there to stop prisoners charging out, but present the same problem to adventurers :p

Would we have a chance of lifting these, if two or more people lifted? maybe we can rig a rope or something before the lift to stop it from coming down again, or at least allow for many more of us to help. Kaneko flexes a small but very firm bicep.

Courtyard or portcullis? Enquiring minds wish to know :P

Sorry - courtyard. While Grim wouldn't mind taking a strength check to lift it, he would rather not do it while being peppered with arrows and crossbow bolts!

Tikrit nods at Grim's suggestion, following orders for now.

Kishara readies to cross the hall back to the courtyard. "I could provide cover fire with the bow, or pop off another of these?" She twiddles another smokestick between her fingers, and looks at the others questioningly.

Held Attack w/ Shortbow?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

"Everyone just make a dash for it. I'll go last. Ready?"

Kishara opts to slink instead of dash in the hopes of not alerting the goblins to the parade of targets about to come rushing down the hall. Once she makes it to the courtyard, she holds the door open to provide some cover for the next person coming behind her and then observes the door they plan to enter next
Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

I'm guessing the scorpion didn't have any treasure, but did we forget any goodies in this area?

OK so I have it that the side door is being used off the courtyard. First person through is Kish, last person is going to be Grim. Pending any further comments I'll kick you forward shortly...

Entry Map

Yhen will reload her wands on their respective spring-loaded wrist sheaths before trying to run.

Kaneko readies her spear.

Kish - Didn't get the general order to search the area in any great detail earlier no, but there is a fair amount of refuse and rubbish about.

Kish breaches the door and slides in first.

This large room was recently cleaned—piles of trash are swept into the corners, the six tables and dozen benches here are spotless, and the majority of the spider webs and vermin nests were cleaned from the corners. A set of sturdy double doors sit in the south wall, another is set in the west wall, and a single door in the northwest corner leads north into what is likely to be a small kitchen.

Kisharas eyes adjust quickly, and she notices two shapes laying in wait, and they have noticed Kishara!

Kishara calls out to those behind her, "Two of them, flanking the door!" and then moves out of the doorway to make way for her comrades and closes on the female. Not wanting to be caught between them, she vaults over the dining table and lands to her side, though without her usual cat-like grace.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
Move to G,8, hoping for AOO's if she casts. Now watch the roguish dude be the caster, lol!

Claws spring from the womans fingertips as she slashes for Kishara, 1d20 ⇒ 8, but Kishara is much slipperier than the woman believed.

Charging from the corner the shady man rushes with a bloodcurdling cry and slashes...
Attack 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 2 - 2 = 24 (Partial cover)
Damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Crit?1d20 + 5 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 - 2 = 11

The man draws blood, but nowehere near as bad as it could have been - things are looking up for Kishara!

I thought charging was a full round action? And we were in surprise?

Kishara stabs with her Rapier at the woman.
Attack w/ Rapier: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

I thought charging was a full round action? And we were in surprise?

You can charge as a standard action when limited to taking only a standard action, such as in a surprise round, but you can only move up to your speed (instead of twice) - link - but what I learnt (the hard way) about two days ago is you can't draw during it

Yhen moves up within range and tries to curse one of them,

Evil Eye AC on the nearest guy.

"Hopefully it sticks so you guys can down him easier,"

Thought you might Yhen :)

The Rogue looking fellow who charged has been Evil Eyed, Yhen is in the doorway on the lower pane - on the outside (E5)

Tikrit triggers his spring-loaded wrist sheath and uses his wand of Shield, drops it, and moves into the room, behind one of the tables.

Swift activate Wrist Sheath, Standard use wand, free drop wand, move to G4. Current AC 19

alright move to nearst and attack...

Assuming Mandrak moves to F6, Grim will move to G6 and attack the guy on F7. If he is already dead because of Mandrak's awesome attack (which I guess Shifty is rolling for you...) then Grim will occupy F7 and attack the other baddie =)

Just like in training, the party quickly enters the room, one right after the other, assessing the threat and moving to eliminate it. Grimaldus moves to the sound of melee and swings his greatsword at the enemy!
Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (2, 2) + 9 = 13

Following Yhens bit of fell witchcraft;

Mandrak double moves to position.

Tikrit gets repositioned.

Grimdeath moves in and swings hard, the blade missing the Rogue...
(AC 13 was the target this round)

Kish still pending

Kishara

Kaneko

I made my round 1 attack here

Oops Kish, I derp'd that :)

Kish's blade snaps home with a satisfying scrape of metal.

The woman retaliates against Kishara.
Claw 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Damage 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Claw 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Damage 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Having quite a dramatic effect.

The man relies on the table to remain a barrier between him and Grimaldus, and flurries his blows at Mandrak.

Rapier 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Dagger 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Damage 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The dagger finding purchase in Mandraks ribs.

***

Kaneko up (if I don't get an update tonight will assume gets behind Mandrak and stabs through)

Exactly what happens. My bad, was waiting for the others and the enemy to post.

Kaneko stabs past Mandrak

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

Unfortunately the spear fails to find its mark.

Shifty, that looks like Bravo's Map. I'm betting this one is ours. ^_~
Kishara eyes bulge with shock and pain as the woman shreds her with vicious claws she had not expected her to have. Knowing she could not survive a second onslaught, she tumbles backward, planting her hand behind her and performing a graceful one handed cartwheel away from her reach and weaves around the tables, drawing a potion of Cure Light Wounds from her vest and drinks it.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 Potion of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Move to J,6 and drink potion. Can she draw the potion on the move like a weapon, or will she have to wait for the next round to drink?
I really need to let Grimmy go first sometime, huh? >_<

Sorry yeah I was updating it all at the same time - that is the correct map :p - can't draw a potion like a weapon as far as I know... but you certainly got out of the space ok.

Grimaldus snarls his battle-oath and strikes at the bandit again.
Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 Hopefully everyone else kills him...my rolls are $#!*!
Damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 3) + 9 = 13
He then moves to I7 to block the enemy from following Kishara.

Wow. Mate you've had some unlucky rolls :( On a side note, how did you want to move away from combat without provoking an AOO? You are going to have to move action out - or you could chance the shots I suppose :p I suspect Lucky Dragon is about to run into that spot and gap fill anyhow... so you might wish to hang in place.

Grim is counting on the others kill the one bandit before he moves...but willing to take an AoO if necessary. His acrobatics skill takes a big hit because of the armor, and with my rolls it's not even worth it. =/ Of course, if someone before me moves there, he'll stay and slug it out.

Kaneko stabs.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 and 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Kishara shimmies away.

Grim takes a chop.
ENEMY
Kaneko (Stab pending)

Yhen moves inside (I-7), as a swift actio, Yhen will pull out her wand of ill-omen and uses it on the other enemy (the one that is not cursed with Evil Eye).

Is there anyone else that needs healing? If yes then Yhen can just pull out her CLW wand instead of doing the ill omen.

10 of 15 hp remaining.... i do furry of blows on the one next to me...

Tikrit slips up into the space vacated by Grim and with his Katana lighting up with electricity, he swings at the man.

Katana with Shocking Grasp 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
1d8 + 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + (3) + 5 = 10 damage.

Yhen curses.
Mandrak lashes out
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 151d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 151d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Bleed 2d4 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6 = 3
The man falls.
Those only JUST hit due to Evil Eye - thank Yhen :p

Kishara shimmies away.

Grim takes a chop then moves away.

MAP

Tikrit, plan B? apply the attack on the woman?

Yep, shift the attack to her please.

Tikrit moves in and unleashes a mighty blow on the woman - who begins casting back...

She in turn attacks Tikrit -
Ill omen - worst of the two.
Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Damage 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Damage 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Somewhat evening the score.

Kaneko steps across and tries nailing her with a spear, but has no luck.

Actually, my AC is 19 currently. :>

Aha, you used shield which still needs to be added on - fair enough, the shots miss :) Ill Omen strikes again!

Kinda wished I can quicken spell that too

Yhen lashes out another curse towards the remaining enemy, Evil Eye AC.

will 5ft step and attack her...

To be able to attack, Mandrak will need to climb onto the table (which is safe) - so no 5' step from there. Will roll with that.

Kish and Tik?

Will save V EE 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Pass - sticks for 1 round

ok works for me...
