[Table Fez] ScorchedOne's Insane 5-6 Run

Game Master Nathan Hartshorn

James moves down the building and secures his scythe and prepares to climb.

"RUDE!!!" Sabert calls up to the lady, trying to staunch the flow of blood from his arrow wound. Despite the critics in the peanut gallery, he continues his song as he raises his crossbow to try and return the favor!
Crossbow, IC, Bless: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 15
Dmg??: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Ungala barely throws herself out of the way of Sabert's bolt but comes back up ready to fire off more arrows.

Order 3rd Round
Aura, Fethril
Ungala -4, Brigands (R: 0, B: 0, P: 0)
Sabert, Kelris, James

Feeling the call of his enchantment and his courage bolstered, the elf switches to his ancestral weapon and fires at the female archer.

Longbow, IC, Bless: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 191d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Blur!: 1d100 ⇒ 85

Fethril's arrow hits Ungala, driving her back as Aura slides her dagger along the bandit's arm, earning a short bark of pain.

Ungala fires off two more arrows at Fethril and Sabert, still trying to drive the magic users away.

Fire (F)!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Fire (S)!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Damage (F): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Fethril is hit once more and Sabert manages to duck around the seat of the cart avoiding Ungala's arrow.

Another arrow is shot Kelris' way while the other bandits swing blades.

Fire (K)!: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 3 - 4 = 11
Slash (K)!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Slash (A)!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Their inexperience with actual warriors shows as none of them are able to hit their mark.

Order 3rd Round
Aura, Fethril
Ungala -9, Brigands (R: 0, B: -13, P: -5)
Sabert, Kelris, James

Kelris swings again at the guard he is facing in an attemp to finish this fight quickly.

Kelris takes down his opponent as arrows continue to whiz between the two sides.

Ungala -9, Brigands (R: 0, P: -5)
Sabert, Kelris, James

James tries to climb up the building but makes no progress.

Climb: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Despite diving for his life, Sabert maintains the song the he knows is helping his friends. However, he is tired of being used as a target. He works several foul words into his song and lifts a ..partial.. salute to the woman on the roof as he begins to sing of evil villians falling to their doom!

Casting Grease

Slick!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Sabert's spell takes effect, causing the roof around Ungala to become slippery and treacherous. The woman barely shifts her weight on her heels and maintains her ready stance.

Order 4th Round
Aura, Fethril
Ungala -9, Brigands (R: 0, P: -5)
Sabert, Kelris, James

"Ah, I see what you have done. No matter, your magic lacks the elegance and proficiency required to stifle the aim of my people."

With that, Fethril lets fly another shaft.

Longbow: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 191d8 ⇒ 4
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 22

Fethril's arrow flies true again, leaving another red trail in Ungala's flesh.

Order 4th Round

Aura will stab purple again, hoping to drop him.

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Damage Roll: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Aura slashes her opponent again, leaving him bleeding and barely able to hold his sword. He slides away from her before fleeing across the rooftop. Withdraw action Ungala's last henchman continues firing on Kelris while the woman herself changes targets to the elves.

Fire (K)!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Fire (F)!: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 - 2 = 7
Fire (A)!: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 - 2 = 7

The single arrow fired at Kelris grazes his armor and is deflected elsewhere while Ungala slips on the grease at her feet, sending her arrows off in wild directions.

Order 4th Round
Aura, Fethril
Ungala -13, Brigands (R: 0, P: -11 [fleeing])
Sabert, Kelris, James

Is red behind cover? Kelris used 15' of movement to get where he is.
That is if purple is dead or leaving.

Kelris approached the man in the red tunic. "Flee now and don't mess with us further."

James begins his attempt to climb the building again.

Climb: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 13

Sabert rushes towards the building as quickly as he can through the crowd. As he goes, he reaches into his pack and pulls out a rope and grapple just as he reaches the side.

Keeping the song going. I am not sure if the crowd is still hampering my movements or not, but Sabert will do his best to make it to the wall. If that takes two moves and pulling the rope and grapple next turn then so be it.

Red is behind cover, difficult terrain to get through it.

James continues to struggle with the wall of the building while Kelris advances on the final pirate.

Why did Paizo crash for me shortly after posting? Now I can't edit. Crowd has been gone since the start of round 2.

Order 5th Round
Aura, Fethril
Ungala -13, Brigands (R: 0, P: -11 [fleeing])
Sabert, Kelris, James

Now realizing she is a caster, the mage refuses to acknowledge her worth as an arcane opponent; instead Fethril tries to keep pressure up on the leader on a martial level.
longbow: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 121d8 ⇒ 4
Miss: 1d100 ⇒ 32

Aura will move up to the other rooftop combatant and then stab them.

Attack Roll w/Bard and Bless: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Damage Roll: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Awesome. Thanks, GM. I will go ahead and post now.. my actions really aren't going to change that much no matter what happens. If needed, I will post an adjustment tomorrow.

Neither Aura nor Fethril are able to hit Ungala as she weaves where she stands. The woman turns with concern as Sabert's grapple catches the lip of the building providing easier access.

Acrobatics!: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

She steps outside of the greased area and pulls a potion from her belt, downing it in one go and disappearing before your eyes.

The final bandit rushes to the other side of the barricade to open fire on Aura and keep her away from Ungala's last known location.

Fire!: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 3 - 4 = 0

The arrow doesn't even make it over the lip of the roof, clattering against the wall of the building.

Ungala -13, Brigands (R: 0)
Sabert, Kelris, James

Kelris scrambles over the barricade as fast as possible Double moving To get to the red Tunic'd bad guy

James moves down to where Sabert has the rope attached and uses it to climb up.

Climb: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Was she gonna provoke for leaving my threatened area, or make a 2nd acro check to tumble out?

And the other half of my turn!

Grapple securely hooked on the roof, Sabert quickly climbs the knotted rope to pull himself over the top of the parapet.
Climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

5 foot step out. She just had to make the Acro check to move at all. Her marker is her last known location.

Ungala -13, Brigands (R: 0)
Sabert, Kelris, James

Fethril spins and snaps off a shot at Kelris' opponent.

Longbow vs RED: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 81d8 ⇒ 3

Aura will move to the edge of the building, provoking an AoO from the enemy's last known location.

If I find her:

Aura will stab the bandit with her dagger.

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Damage Roll: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

If not, Aura will ready an action to attack the first enemy on the roof with her she can find, using the same dice rolls as above.

Fethril's arrow gets caught in the blockade and doesn't reach its target.

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

The sound of footsteps comes from the rooftop near Aura before several shingles from the adjacent roof drop to the ground. Ungala appears again, an arrow heading Aura's way from her bow.

Twang!: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 + (4) = 8

Kelris is also fired upon by the man nearby, trying to drive him off.

Fire!: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9

The arrow clatters off his armor again.

Kelris Slides up to the man a head of him. "I told you to flee and you continue, now you will not get away."

Swing Batta: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 231d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Seeing where the leader of the attackers ended up James runs across the roof screaming "I'm going to turn you into mush!" and jumps at her trying to bring her down.

Acrobatics : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Tackle: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 22

Kelris slashes the man, drawing a pained cry from him.

Ungala's eyes go wide as James rushes her, leaping the gap between the buildings and coming crashing down on top of her. She drops her bow as James grabs a hold and doesn't let go.

Quickly realizing she's outmatched she cries out, "I yield! Peace! Surrender!"

Aura, Fethril
Ungala -13 [grappled], Brigands (R: -8)
Sabert, Kelris, James

Sabert lifts his crossbow as he runs towards the edge of the building to cover Ungala and help James if needed. "I'm here, James. What do you need?" he calls out. He keeps the bow trained on the woman, but holds his fire as long as she behaves... To her, he calls over to say "Tell your friend to surrender too! We will bring you both in!"

Readied action: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 5

NICE!!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
DMG!!!: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Nice roll Sabert! I hope her friend refuses!

She calls out to her companion in polyglot, causing him to drop his weapons as well. Returning to Taldane she spits out, "We'll never stop fighting back against you bandits. All you do is rob the Mwangi people of all of our treasures. Do you even know what you are transporting?" Combat over!

"I'm not a bandit. I'm not a member of the guild." says Aura. "I'm a mercenary."

Bluff: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Kelris walks the remaining bandit back over to the group.

"What do you think is in the boxes?"

Intimidate: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Clearly frustrated the task has not come to an end, "Oh shades of Grey! It's humans stealing from other humans. Does it really matter what is in the boxes?"

Thanks, Aura!

Sabert casts a frustrated glance down to Fethril. "OF Course it matters, my friend. It always matters. That's what makes us different from you especially, but elves in general. I thought we were making good progress with our shades of grey discussions??"

Turning back to the woman, Sabert lifts his crossbow in salute. "My name is Sabert, and my.. sometimes testy.. companions can be a bit rough at times. Tell me, what is your name? And what is in those cartons that you so desperately tried to relieve us of?? I think we can have a civil talk, don't you?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

She juts her chin out stating simply, "I am Ungala. I don't have to think about what is in the boxes, I know they are statues and idols from my people. Crack the lids off and see for yourself. Your House Cartahegn has started moving into the artifact trade, and are quickly becoming what we despise in the Aspis Consortium."

After Sabert's comment to Fethril
"Well it's different with you Sabert. And James. And Kelris. I thought you knew that by now."

After Ungala speaks
"The Aspis? Well, I begin to see your problem now. Perhaps you should continue talking. Aura, care to check the boxes for any unpleasantness?"

A look of concern lies heavily on Saberts face as he awaits Aura's report on the contents of the boxes.
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Looking for falsehoods as we talk

Aura's investigation reveals no traps on the crates, and cracking them open does reveal they are loaded with statues and idols crafted in the native Bonuwat style. Ungala looks askance of you, "Please, let me take the artifacts so that they can remain in Mwangi hands."

Stowing his weapons, the elf pulls out a wand and activates the healing within. As he works, he matter-of-factly mentions, "Not that these affairs concern me overmuch, but technically our task was to 'intercept' Ungala and her men. We have accomplished that. There was no mention of what to do with the men...or the cargo after our obligation was met. Again, just pointing these facts out as a disinterested third party."

Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Not certain if anyone else was injured. Let me know and I will make some more rolls.

"Yes, but we were also tasked with guarding the shipment, so we need to do that as well."

James grunts and says "I could use some of that healing as well. We have a big job here we need to keep our eyes on. This little job was part of that. The shipment needs to get where it's going and we can turn these to over to our boss."

As the conversation winds through the team, Fethril listens halfheartedly; focusing on healing giant human.

CLW~James: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
