Tapestry's Toil (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

"About" an hour? So would that mage armor potion of mine have gone to waste, or might there be a few more minutes of it?

After the last encounter the party faced, Shayla healed herself with her wand of cure light wounds.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"I've become rather fond of Ketephys over the course of my life, and I'm not too eager to change deities."

Shayla nocks an arrow. "Sure you want to try to 'reforge' me?"

53 minutes and 23 seconds, enough minutes of mage armor left for this encounter.

"I will reforge your dead body by covering it with iron. You will be the next object in the menagerie, Elf!" Mueritt shouts and commands Xixel to attack.

"You will do no such zhing!"

Roland follows Shayla's lead and fires arrows into the strange outsider.

for dmg: 1d8 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 = 12

Ok, not sure how manyshot works with crits - I think I just ignore it

Roland confirm: 1d20 + 13 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 13 + 1 - 2 = 32
for dmg: 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (5, 7) + 12 = 24

"Over my dead body!" Shayla replies, not realizing that's exactly what the duergar was talking about. She then shoots three arrows at the outsider.

+1 Arrow, Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 13 - 2 = 15 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

+1 Arrow, Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 2 = 19 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

I don't have Knowledge (Planes), but +2 to every roll if it's an evil outsider.

"Suri, grab the warped dwarf!"

Suri moves forward and tries to bite Mueritt.

+1 Bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Free trip on successful bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Before combat:
If it made any difference, Baern auto-assists Survival checks.
CLWx2: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (7, 4) + 2 = 13

Knowledge planes: 1d20 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 6 = 27 Special defenses and special attacks

Baern moves in and points to Xixel. "That's a Xorn! Use a club or sommat with it! And do nae use ice, fire, or lightning again' it! An' do nae bother flankin' it! T'won't work!"

That said, he moves to the other one.

Scimitar!: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Confrim?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

*holds out nunnery-issued begging bowl* Spare some wand?

The outsider is not evil, it's neutral according to it's stats. +2 to the survival check would not have made a difference. Maybe next time :) Who does Baern heal?

Roland and Shayla shoot arrows at the outsider, two arrows hit, but they don't do as much damage as they should have. Suri bites the blacksmit and trips her. Baern attacks the dwarven woman with his scimitar and also hits.

The blacksmith tries to get up and attacks the big cat with her warhammer but the hammer clashes on the floor.
Aoo for Suri

Oh, sorry, Baern healed himself, but would have healed others as well given time after the skirmish with duergar.

Can we say someone healed me?

Despite her skill and what should be a very easy target, the crowded (not to mentioned low-ceilinged) forge manages to hamper Kali rather substantially.

unarmed strike: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
bleed: 1d4 ⇒ 3

if somebody wants to share a wand shot or potion, yes

Kali strikes at the blacksmith, but the heat in this room makes her feel dizzy and she misses.

Leastrie darts into the room, circling to the north, strikes at the blacksmith as he passes.

Spring Attack: 1d20 + 14 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 2 - 2 = 31
Damage: 1d10 + 10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 6 = 23

Laestrie strikes at the blacksmith as he passes, hitting the dwarf in the face. Roland attacks the outsider with three arrows, but none of them hits the target but the floor next to the creature.

Free trip on successful bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Normal round:
Suri growls and continues to attack the prone dwarf, now also using her claws.

"Good job, Suri! Keep it up! Everyone else as well!"

Shayla drops her longbow and moves into melee range of the outsider. As she moves, Shayla draws both of her swords.

Baern steps to flank, whether it helps or not, and swings!

Scimitar: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Suri attacks the blacksmith and almost rips her apart but the trip attempt fails. Shayla drops her bow and draws both of her swords while moving up to the outsider. Baern swings his scimitar again, but misses.

Suddenly you feel a wave of energy coming from the dwarf. channel negative energy, excluding Xixel (selective channeling feat).

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Did anyone heal me before the fight? The question has gone unanswered, and it's getting increasingly important to verify now.

If nobody did, I can say I used one of my own potions, but it would be nice if somebody used their magic instead.

Will save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Kali's eyes shine with hate, and she unleashes a flurry of kicks on the duergar b#!+$.

flurry: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

spending 1 Ki for a third attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

bleed damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

...but would have healed others as well given time after the skirmish with duergar.

Baern has healed you, but never rolled XD. Baern, could you roll please.

To move along, just assume Leastrie offered his wand (having Baern use it), since he always carries his own healing. How much were you down, Kali? 12? CLW: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (2, 6, 2) + 3 = 13 Roll more if you needed it before the encounter started.

I think 13 is exactly what Kali needed to be fully healed :D At least she won't drop unconscious from the negative energy.

With hate in her eyes Kali kicks at the dwarf on the floor several times. Finally she knocks the dwarf unconscious. The outsider strikes at 1d3 ⇒ 3 Baern with its claws.
Claw left vs. Baern: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Leasrie turns and attacks the outsider!

Iterative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Damage: 1d10 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

Laestrie attacks the outsider and sends it back to his plane.

combat over

Mueritt’s forge contains masterwork tools for both armor and weapon crafting. It also contains a wall that displays 800 gp worth of weapons, including one copy of every simple and martial weapon in the Core Rulebook and two masterwork warhammers. Six manacles sit in a pile in the corner of the room, each secured with an average quality lock.

but still need the will safe DC15 from Baern, Suri, Roland and Shayla

Leastrie searches the body of the dark dwarf, then the room.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Guess this never posted. Fixing now. Plus flavour text.

Baern is able to withstand the energy and, after the fight, takes a peek at the anvil. "There's a wee compartment here." Opening it, he retrieves a small key.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Don't forget to heal ;)

"Let's move on!" the mask says. "It's to far to the Sanctum!"

Survival to navigate through the fortress again, +10 for wearing the mask

Roland applies his cure wand to his burns and cuts.

Clw : 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Clw : 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Clw : 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Clw : 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Clw : 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

With the damage of the slams and the negative energy, Baern opts to use some of his own power to mend his wounds.

CMW: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (2, 1) + 8 = 11*1.5=16
CLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8*1.5=12
Exactly what I needed!

If anyone needs healing from their own wands, Baern will happily use it for them. Just roll the heals for it.

I have some potions, but if anyone else could heal me with actual spells, or maybe wand charges, I'd appreciate it.

Survival anybody? While we wait for the healings.

Roland will survey the situation and the way back.

Survival, mask, track : 1d20 + 11 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 10 + 2 = 41

"Zhis trail of markings should lead us back ."

Leastrie hands his wand over to Baern, in order to get his wounds knitted back together.

CLW: 6d8 + 6 ⇒ (3, 3, 5, 4, 7, 1) + 6 = 29

Baern aids in the Survivalling. Auto-aid, +2 for 43

Kali tries to aid in scouting (because if there's really any reward for hitting the DC 45 mark, we want it, dammit), but it turns out she has much to learn.

aid Survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Again, can anyone heal me?

Baern wanders to Kali. "These sticks be pretty useful, yes?" He offers his own wand to mend her wounds.

CLWs: 4d8 + 4 ⇒ (7, 2, 6, 8) + 4 = 27

Kali nods her appreciation, then digs her chains far enough into her sides to at least remain in a decent modicum of pain.

Roland and Baern find a way through the fortress, you don't meet any dwarves. Finally you reach the Sanctum.

The sanctum is a large, multipurpose room. Two rows of Stone benches face a lectern, which sits in front of a stylized iron anvil. A thin curtain of water trickles down from the ceiling behind the anvil. Beyond this curtain, a slick ramp descends into a large open window, which reveals the roaring waterfall just beyond. A sturdy table in the southeast corner bears a pile of bloodstained ropes. Barred doors lead out of the room to the east and west.

The floor of the sanctum behind the anvil slopes downward into the waterfall. Ironwhip used Magic to smooth the floor, and redirected part of the waterfall through this room so that water would flow down the ramp.

A proud duergar in gleaming armor stands next to a corpse in tattered clothing. The duergar narrows his eyes at the intrusion, and gestures toward the undead creature next to him. "This one warned me that you would come. His people are trapped, scattered across the realm like dead leaves. His hate for you was strong. I let him stay, to tell me more about this Pathfinder Society — this band of thieves and braggarts. Even after he blasphemed Droskar’s name, I kept him to remind me of your coming."

In a sudden fit of violence, the stout priest shoves the zombie down the ramp. Helpless on the slippery surface, it falls prone and slides into the torrent of falling water. Ironwhip holds out his hand and grins menacingly, still clutching a scrap of torn cloth affixed to a stylish bronze pin.

"This is him, their leader! Chergin Ironwhip!" the mask shouts.

The duergar and Ironwhip draw their weapons.

Baern announces that "All wrath directed toward us will be returned several-fold! We be here on a mission of exploration, nae invasion. Stand down or face our might!"

With that little speech out of the way, he channels some of his divine might into his scimitar and stands at the ready for hostilities to ensue.

Free action to talk, standard to cast weapon of awe

Still required?
Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

After the previous fight Shayla had sheathed one of her swords and picked up her bow, which she'd then put on her back.

Still holding my +1 adamantine sawtooth sabre as we arrive.

Leastrie calls on his inner magic to protect him from evil.

SLA, protection from evil AC 25 vs evil

Baern demands the duergar to give up and channels divine might into his weapon while Laestrie prepares for the fight by protecting himself from evil.

The first duergar moves up to Laestrie and swings his waraxe, but misses.

"Suri, attack!"

Shayla casts a spell, draws her second sawtooth saber and moves closer to the engaging Duergar.

The duergar with the blow axe hilt moves closer to Baern and swings his axe.
