Hask grins.
I have been saving most of my magic for such a foe. I will have much to aid with in the coming battle, friends. Let us tackle this foe, and quickly.

"Agreed!" Inira replies to Fingalad. "I am ready."

She grabs the key, and checks to see if it belongs to the manacles on the prisoner, if there is enough left after the acid to try.

She will also replenish her arrows with the 15 found, and offer some to Fingalad (and the others) as well.

"Is this your stuff? Would you like us to help you with your armor to help ensure your safety?"

"I wonder if that key may aid us in that door downstairs?"

The captured key reveals itself as being for the manacles.

The Bard is happy to be freed and provide support, he would prefer to blaze a path out of here, but will stand stoic with the Pathfinders.

You ascend to the top of the tower...

The four wings of the tower are completely open on this level, forming one great,
cross-shaped chamber with arched ceilings. The decayed remnants of a carpet run from the doorways at the end of each wing, meeting in the center, where a spiral staircase drops out of sight below. A large, throne-like chair stands in the middle of the eastern wing next to a big chest.

Standing at the eastern archway, a single reptile man stares out into the distance, a stunted albino crocodile by his side...

does the lizard man have cover from where Fingalad is standing right now? If so, can Fingalad moves south a bit to remove that cover?

-Posted with Wayfinder

The chair is soft cover.. Let's run with -2?

Looking at the map you either end up with an annoying chair or a corner.. Or a croc (crikey!)

Fingalad murmurs a spell, and the ground beneath the lizard and crocodile becomes slick. Then he backs away and circles behind his companions.

casting Grease DC 13 on the squares with the lizard, crocodile, chair, etc. 10ft. Square. Then back up 10' and go N 20'

-Posted with Wayfinder

I moved you to the location specified, and put an orange box in for what I took as the Grease aoe :)

Croc 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Lizard 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

They don't fall over...

that's the right square, thanks.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Wyconda moves up and readies a strike against any foe which nears him.

Inira shoots an arrow at the croc.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Hask laughs, and then fires a huge bolt of fire at the Trog, which arcs and curves in the air, hitting the beast square in the chest.
Converting Magic Missile to fire damage, and then using Volatile Conduit trait to add another d4

Damage: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2) + 1 = 7

R1
Inira arrow!
Fingalad grease/move
Hask missiles!
Wyconda move/ready
ENEMY

The arrows, arcanr and mundane, both find their marks.

The Crocodile moves for Wyconda
Acro 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Wyconda's waiting blow misses the albino reptile...
It attacks!
Bite 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 4
Grab 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
It grabs Wyconda firmly!

The Lizard man steps out as well...
Acro 1d20 ⇒ 7
Ref1d20 ⇒ 9
...or he tries, but fails, and falls over.
He then spends his time regaining his feet.

Croc - 10
Lizard - 7

R2
Inira
Fingalad
Hask
Wyconda
ENEMY

Inira continues her assault with a flurry of arrows.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

OK, these are pretty mundane arrows! :)

Totally asking the shop to refund them :p

is the bard pitching in to this fight at all?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Hmm missed him on the init roll...
1d20 ⇒ 10

The former captive Pathfinder begins extolling the virtues of the fine camaraderie formed at the Grand Lodge!

Inspire Courage; +1 to hit and damage!

Woohoo! That makes my attack rolls 6 & 8 now! Do I hit? I am totally asking for a refund...

The arrows appear to stick into the chair, the wall, anything other than what you want them in so technically they work...

that's more like it!

Fingalad tries to move up for a better shot can't tell from the map, but it's reasonable to me that Fingalad would be able to figure something out. Then he shoots a faintly glowing arrow at the lizard man.

Longbow, Attack, inspired: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 = 17 +1 for point blank shot if the best angle is within 30'
Longbow, damage, inspired Arcane Strike: 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 10 pbs, Yada Yada

-Posted with Wayfinder

Wyconda tries to wrigle out from the croco-dee-dile's mouth and, if he succeeds, steps back from the beast.

CMB to escape: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Hask moves to a better vantage point and casts another snaking, firey missile at the troglodyte
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

R1 recap
Inira Enquires about a refund on arrows
Fingalad Nails the creature, arrows ok apparently.
Hask magic missiles - apparently these are reliable.
Wyconda shakes it off.
ENEMY

Croc - 10
Lizard - 19

The lizard man tries moving again.
Acro 1d20 ⇒ 14 - getting in close to the throne to use it as cover.
He then casts a spell, and a wave of spiders appears, rushing over two of our heroes!

The crocodile tries following Wyconda
Acro 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Then bites at him once more!
Attack 1d20 ⇒ 4
To no avail!

R2
Inira
Fingalad
Hask
Wyconda
ENEMY

Fingalad moves closer and looses another arrow at the lizard.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Wyconda steps to the north after Fingalad's shot and swings at the crocodile again!

Power Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
1d8 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Why the mediocre-average attack rolls?

You should see one of the player in the other group, if he gets above a 5 by the end of the adventure we will all be shocked - the irony is he's a great build, but dem rolls - its now a running joke

Fingalad's arrow shoots over the chair, streaking out the door beyond and deep into the ruins beyond.

Wyconda forgot the music in the background for his +1/+1
Wyconda swings his sword once more with nasty intent - it connects, and ends the crocodile.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

"Oh, come on..."

Errr...seriously Dicebot?

Hope Hask has better luck. Inira, you are also covered in Spiders...

Let's see how this works out...
Burn, fiend! You have proven to be a foe unworthy of our time!
Attack-Elemental Ray: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

R2 recap
Inira two arrows to nowhere...
Fingalad one arrow into the siegelands
Hask Zaps with anger, and it works
Wyconda kills the crocodile.
ENEMY

Croc - Dead
Lizard - 19

the spiders run over Inira and Hask

Hask
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 6 +
Poison 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 +
Distraction 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Inira
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 4 +
Poison 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 +
Distraction 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Inira is nauseated

The lizard man casts a spell, summoning flames to his hands that he looks as though he is about to throw!

R3
Inira
Fingalad
Hask
Wyconda
ENEMY

Fingalad moves even closer to the lizard, then looses another faintly glowing arrow. "Foul smelling creature, you are done here."

-Posted with Wayfinder

You are good to go on ignoring his cover now, but a 2? :(

Wyconda moves up and around the chair, drawing his blade along one of the wounds opened by the crocodile. Once in position he swings at the lizard man. "Keep that to yourself!" he commands.

Swift: poison blade. Move: move. Standard: power attack!

Power attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Critical confirm: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 = 14
1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

DC 12 Fort save against poison, take 1d2 ⇒ 2 Dex damage on a fail

woot! That's more like it. Don't Katanas get a bonus to critical confirmation rolls?

-Posted with Wayfinder

No, but does add to the DC against a coup de grace. A trait of mine does boost the confirm roll by one.

"Spiders... where did these come from? Ouch! Stop it! Ugh... I am not feeling so well..."

Inira struggles to pull an alchemist's fire out of her pack.

...and just like that, the fight is ended.

After recovering from the battle and clearing through and investigating the tower more thoroughly, you return the liberated Pathfinder safely home.

With more ripping yarns to tell, and more gold to spend, you step just that little bit taller as you walk through Absalom.

Good game guys, appreciate your efforts and hope you have had a good time :) Sheets will be out today!

Woot Woot!!

On the way out, Wyconda checks that secret door again and breaks it down if need be.

-Posted with Wayfinder

It only opens out to the broken tower beyond, but is also full of swarming bats. It might have been an interesting alternate way INTO the tower should you have not gone via the stairs but instead scaled in from the outside.

Wyconda takes one look at the bat swarm and prompty shuts the door again. "Nope. Nope nope nope."

We were stronger than our enemies today. You are all battle brothers to me.

Hask solemnly shakes each members hand before departing, going to his usual haunt to wait for his next assignment.

Great game everyone, had a blast and hope to play many more with all of you. Thanks a bunch Shifty!

Fingalad clasps Hask's shoulder "And you to me, also. May you be stronger than your enemies for all of your days."

I didn't RP this one very well. Oh well.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I feel like o could have done better too.

In fairness, this scenario was not one that leans itself to much interplay - so dont be hard on yourselves :p

Risen from the Sands
Starts 24hrs.

Please feel free to dot in!

Kel Na'Yaa dotting for duty.

At first glance, the woman looked fairly average and unremarkable, if a bit overloaded for her slight build. She wore a simple linen shirt under her pocketed leather vest and breeches, but as she shifted the load of the heavy pack on her back, her collar flops open and you notice the glint of a high-quality chain shirt hidden underneath.

She kept her long blue-black locks plaited into a simple braid and carried a variety of weapons stowed about her person. Mismatched shortswords on opposing hips, a dagger clearly strapped to the outside of each thigh, a sap dangling from her belt and a shortbow on her back.

Upon a closer look, you notice the angular, finely-boned features of half-elven heritage, though the points of her ears are strangely missing and her nose has a look that suggests it's been broken before... frequently. She meets your eyes only briefly and gives you a quick wink and a nod before her striking violet eyes resume examining the environment.

Kish reporting in, your friendly neighborhood trap monkey. *flourishy bow*

Dotting in - but need to level up and buys some gear. Just finished the current scenario yesterday!

Dot. I too need to buy gear. Spending 2 PP on a wand of Infernal Healing as well.
