[Standard] GM Chadius's Shades of Ice (Gameplay) (Inactive)

Game Master chadius

...running, followed by silence?

"Windows!"

Nemis will run out the front door and back away from the building enough to see to either side. There will be time enough later to search the disgusting little buggers.

More interested in a goblin wing, Marduk begins to chew the meat before spitting it. "Bleuah! No good. Goblin stink."
When she hears Nemis shouting, she narrows her eyes but runs to the nearest window. "I be at window! What now?"
She stands next to the window, fiercely defending it.

on the second floor outside

? This part I don't get how's the second floor outside?

Intending to flush out any other troublemakers, Three rushes upstairs, spear at the ready.

Uhhhh

Three runs upstairs to notice the now open window and several footprints running towards it. It's pretty clear another group fled and leapt outside.

She quickly runs to the window to see if she can spot the fleeing party.

Which side of the building is the open window on?

The party sees four people flee into the armory training grounds. One of them matches the description of Hjort.

Nemis immediately thrusts his mind into the Hjort's, giving it all he's got. Mind Thrust with Overpowering Mind Will DC 17 for half of 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7 damage.

Brunhilde runs out into the courtyard.

Time for kitty cats to show how fast they are :)

Hearing that Hjort was escaping out back, Roscoe take George outside and tries to run him down ...
Move 30 ... Unless Hjort is encumbered, it looks like we don't catch him

Three rushes downstairs and chases after the fleeing figures. "Get back here!" she shouts, bearing toward them with incredible speed for a dwarf.

With my longstrider spell activated, I've got a 40 foot move speed.

Marduk guards her window. "Why you running? You sayz dat dey come out window!"
Eventually, she'll run after her friends. "Come back, explain me!"

If Nemis can see the action and it makes sense: "Marduk they're running away just jump and get them!"

Paizo doesn't have a map for the finale. Time to make one up! The gray blobs are stones.

A small, frozen yard stands between rickety fences to the east of the armory. Target dummies, both for melee and archery training, stand at the far eastern end of the icy field.

Hjort's WIll Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

The red headed man jerks his head as his compatriots enter the open field. He turns around, brandishing his handaxe. "This is it, Pathfinders!" An Ulfen warrior spits out the group's name. "Hjort Fastaxe stands before you! You burned my village to the ground and left me for dead. Runa was betrayed too, and she helped me discredit you. Now, come here so I can finish you off with my bare hands!"

The dark-haired Chelish woman simply shakes her head, slightly embarrassed. "Kill them all. Saving the leader is preferred, but optional."

Round 1
Marduk
Nemis
Goupil
Roscoe
Three
Brunhilde
Hjort 3 Damage, Gyuri, Lazar, Runa

Enemies rolled terrible initiative...you guys are up first.
Roscoe is mounted and Three has longstrider so I put them in the front.

Nemis has no problem compartmentalizing his power mind and his speaking mind. "What? Stop this madness! We have done no such thing! Be reasonable man. It's not worth your life!" 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6 Will DC 17 for half.

Round 1 Casting
Roscoe continues to move toward the fleeing group; when Hjort turns to annouce his challenge ... he casts Flare Fort DC13 or Dazzled for 1 mins.

Three casts a spell with a prayer to Desna.
Casting bless, everyone gets +1 to attack and on saves against fear.

She then moves up next to Roscoe and King George. Her expression is stern, but not cruel. "Listen to him," Three says with a nod to Nemis.

Attack of Opportunity, if triggered:
Trip, bless: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9

Haha sorry you have to babysit Marduk, I enjoy playing her that way, though.

Marduk draws a wand and uses on her. She drops the said wand on earth and gives the man in front of her a toothy smile.

"Now we see who be best!"

Wand of Lead Blades

not at all! Marduk is fun to play with.

Chalfon looks at Runa stunned. "But lady, i ..... " Chalfon tries to divert her attention to his ring. bardic performance activated! Inspire courage!

-Posted with Wayfinder

Inspire Courage +1! Bless!
Bardic Performance and Bless both provide morale bonuses on fear rolls.
Marduk prepares herself for combat.

Hjort's Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Hjort roars as Nemis tears into his psyche. "Liars! Cowards!"

Goupil and Three rouses their companions to fight on.

Hjort's Fort Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Roscoe tries to blind Hjort. The Ulfen man rubs his eyes in confusion.

Round 1
Marduk
Nemis
Goupil
Roscoe
Three
Brunhilde
(Hjort 6 Damage, Dazzled 10), Gyuri, Lazar, Runa

Brunhilde is up.

EDIT: Thanks for the correction on Inspire Courage & Bless.

nope inspire courage is +1 competence on attack and damage and +1 morale to fear save.

Man, those are good rolls on the saves. I can't maintain that DC anymore either. He apparently REALLY hates Pathfinders

-Posted with Wayfinder

Hjort is too dumb to fool!

Bless and Inspire courage stack for attack but not for saves versus Fear... Brunhilde double moves.

Brunhilde in her heavy armor appproaches her foes slowly shield and axe a the ready to fell the fools who would stand in her way.

"And you! How could you betray us to them!" Hjort roars and charges at Brunhilde.
Hjort's Handaxe + Rage + Charge + Dazzled vs Brunhilde: 1d20 + 4 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 - 1 = 6
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Hjort almost trips over himself as he rushes at her.

The bald half-elf moves up and strikes a defensive pose. Meanwhile Runa moves up behind him, lowers her morningstar and brandishes her symbol of Asmodeus. Desna's blessings fade away as Runa's profane god banes most of the party (except for Nemis and Goupil, who remain far far away.)

The bearded man in the back pulls out a scroll and reads from it. A translucent aura forms around him. Mage Armor

Round 2
Marduk
Nemis (Blessed)
Goupil (Blessed)
Roscoe
Three
Brunhilde
(Hjort 6 Damage, Dazzled 10, Charged -2 AC), Gyuri, Lazar, Runa

Party is up.

Let's try this one more time, DC is only 15 now. Mind Thrust: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

-Posted with Wayfinder

Brunhilde looks to take advantage of Hjort overstepping and swings her Axe in a high arc and slays the man on the spot like a good murder Hobo.

Attack Inspire, FE, PA1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 Damage 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Confirmation 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20 Damage 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (1, 8) + 18 = 27

If Brunhilde Drops Hjort she's prolly like to use her remaining move action

Hjort's Will Save + Rage: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 + 2 = 22
Hjort REALLY doesn't like people probing his mind! Too bad he can't say the same about axes. Brunhilde dashes the man across the training grounds, leaving little behind. She contemplates what to do in her remaining time.

Round 2
Marduk
Nemis (Blessed)
Goupil (Blessed)
Roscoe
Three
Brunhilde (Move Action)
Gyuri (Total Defense), Lazar (Mage Armor), Runa

Inspire Courage is up, Bless was cancelled for most of the party.
Brunhilde still has a move action.

Three takes a step back from the bald half elf and Runa, snarling at the Asmodean holy symbol. "Imp licker," she calls out to Runa.

She places a hand against King George and gives him a bit of luck.
King George can roll all d20 rolls twice and take the better for the next round. I have a move action left but I'll end my turn without using it.

Brunhilde moves to threaten the old bearded man

Round 2 Inspire Courage; Charging
Roscoe charges Lazar ...
Lance: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 26 for Piercing: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 2 = 10

... then George attacks ...

Claw: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 25 for Slashing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Claw: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 15 for Slashing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Marduk, licking her lips, looks intensely at the cadaver of Hjort and slowly grins at her next target. She charges in anger and savageness.

Masterwork Orc Double Axe (Single attack), Charge, Lead blades, Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 25 for Slashing Damage: 2d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 3) + 6 + 1 = 13

Chalfon walk
inspire courage 6 round
"ASSmodeus is greatest of the god"
hideous laughter dc 15 need to move this character.

Wow, nice rolls.
Goupil continues to hang back and inspire his allies as they tear into their opponents.

Marduk tears into the half-elf, whose defensive posture is simply no match for her ferocity.

Roscoe's lance pierces through the human's armor, while King George claws and bites the man. He slumps over, unconscious and bleeding out.

"To the death, Gyuri!" Runa raises her symbol of Asmodeus, which seems to grin as evil energy washes over the frontliners.

Negative Energy, Will DC 15 for half: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Gyuri sees defense is pointless and tries to punch and kick Marduk.
Flurry 1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Flurry 2: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
A flurry of whiffs surround Marduk before Gyuri takes a step back.

Brunhilde, can you send me the info I need to make your chronicle sheet?Information is in the discussion thread. Something tells me you'll be wrapping this up soon.

Three steps up and places a hand on Marduk's shoulder. "Good luck," she says, as Desna tips the scale in their favor.

Another Bit of Luck. Roll all d20s twice and take the better one for the round.

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Last one: Mind Thrust Will DC for 1/2 : 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6

"Gruuumph!" says Marduk as a thanks to Three. She steps nearer from the monk and gives him her kind of flurry.

Also forgot my will save versus channel: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Wow, it looks like will saves are good on this adventure! :D

With Three's assistance, Marduk wastes no time eliminating Gyuri with her first slash. She still has some time to move.

Runa's Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 Hjort's too dumb to fool, but Runa's to smart to ignore!

Nemis is too far away for Asmodeous to affect him, but he is able to probe the mind of his devoted cleric.

I propose a contract with you. Your life for information.

diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Having hit harder and quicker than expected, Marduk moves towards Runa waving her double axe. As she stands before Runa drooling in ire, she suddenly say some words and takes a bestial aspect.

Animal focus: aspect of the Bull, +2 to strength.

Double move and flank Runa

As the bearded old man is obliterated before her eyes Brunhilde moves around the Pillar to flank Runa. Perhaps she will see the wisdom of giving up before she is shredded to bits by the two deadly ladies.

Marduk and Brunhilde quickly surround Runa as Goupil offers a chance to surrender. Runa laughs. "Haha! Everyone will soon know of the Pathfinders and their barbarism! Just look at what you've done with these bodies!"
