The Eye of Eons (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

With Father Burdock filling in what Elsa quickly recognizes As per earlier spoiler, the guards take their leave to resume their patrol.

Sorry for the quicky, rest coming tonight, i'm off to work.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Err. Why would Elsa know anything about weapons or who wields them...she doesn't associate with anyone like that..except for Grint of course.

Perhaps you've seen them as decor on walls, or on your favored honor guard?

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

"Hmmm, what's that?", Burdock pointing out the eagle above. Feel free to check out the spoiler

"I wasn't expecting my return home to be a cakewalk, but I'm getting an uneasy feeling about this."

Or know what kind of weapons the guards of Irrisen carry with them.
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

"It's just an eagle right? A grey eagle if I'm not mistaken. So what? There must be more eagles flying about around Janderhoff right? What's so special about this one?"

Why would she care? One weapon is the same as any other to her....I'm not trying to be difficult...but she is a Diva, why would she notice something as mundane as the type of weapon some bullying boastful loudmouth carries.

Well you can answer as such; of course an increasingly frustrated Burdock may snap back :P

It's not really far fetched.
Royalty would hire or use employed servants (soldiers/assassins), to hunt down wanted individuals. It's a common thing. Now if your family is as thorough and determined as you describe, you could easily have stumbled upon such an individual or the scene of hiring, in your childhood.

While yet the investigation goes slowly, the day passes quickly.
Upon meeting Gurin earlier, he mentions he's arranged a complimentary stay at his brother's humble tavern. The moon is out and lighting dim low lighting.

The sound of arrows flying at the party enter your ears.
Said arrows must have made impact near, but not in their target.
Three figures have outlined in the distance.
Evening ambush, round 1.

Thorn
-----------
Dwarven thugs
-----------
Sivar
-----------
Dwarf thug leader
-----------
Father Burdock, Grint & Elsa

On the night before stopping, Burdock would have topped everyone off with his spells; between 2 CMW and 2 CLW, that should heal everyone!

Thorn seems to react rather quickly to the Danger and calls down the protection of his lord while shielding himself while he steps slightly forward.

Shield of Faith + Judgement of Resiliency Surged

Extra initiative dice: 1d20 ⇒ 6 Sivar rolls two d20 for initiative and takes the best.. which is no change

Evening ambush, round 1

Thorn moves closer
------------------
Blue and green take a potshot at the bold human.
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 3
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 4
They both move along the room.
There is some yet unseen skulking going on.
------------------
Sivar
------------------
Dwarf thug leader
------------------
Elsa & Grint

A quicky before i hit the sack.
The roofs are flat, the dwarves are properly in view on the edges of the roofs.

Btw Father Burdock, these dwarves are not with the cult, don't worry. Cultists are far more shady. ;)

Sivar casts Iron skins on himself +4 NAC

Then he moves forward and around the corner a bit to then try and jump on a crate

Acrobatics jump no armour penalty: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

How high are the roofs please?

Good to know, I assumed this was a simple skirmish, either hired by whoever dislikes Elsa OR the Duegar. Or Simply cutpurses.. then again they are attempting to hurt us.

The roofs are 15ft high, very firm dwarven architecture.
Notice the 'ladders', you're currently unaware of?

Evening ambush, round 1

Thorn moves closer
------------------
Blue and green take a potshot at the bold human.
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12 Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 3
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 4
They both move along the room.
There is some yet unseen skulking going on.
------------------
Sivar buffs himself and jumps onto a crate down a street.
------------------
Dwarf thug leader
"Run you runt, lest i gut you like a hog."

The darf then steps into an alley.
------------------
Elsa, Father Burdock & Grint

Ahh How appropriate.. The DM rolls low for my save.. My Will Save.. on an Inquisitor, my best save. This will do wonders for Thorn's self-esteem. Whelp See you all a week from now

You'd be surprised.....i rolled high on PCs' behalf in another game while back. Took a good chunk out of the baddies.
Or me rolling for Father Burdock finishing the invisible cult director back in the asylum, on the final round, for that matter. :)
..and he drops my monk, with Ref best save, down a 30ft pit in return :P

Never for me anytime I generally see GM's rolling for my saves its to make me fail. Sure I know its for speed in a PBP but in general it tends to be because I roll middling, and then *especially with effects like this* its more loss of control. Like i said likely I will see you all a week from now as you rolled almost A=max and even afterward if combat is start Thorn is going to be defunct. He was ALMOST such last combat, its just if he hadnt have fought likely there would have been a few deaths.

Grint takes a 5-foot step south-west and fires twice on the green dwarf atop of the building.

Assuming I could see him, by your way of describing them being in proper view. Else ready an attack for when one shows himself.

Attack on Green, Rapid shot, Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 - 2 = 131d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 2 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 4 = 161d8 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 4 = 13

Grint readies a shot for the 1st to pop into view.
He's in the far back of the roof and dwarves are short as they are. No offense, Father Burdock. ^^

Elsa & father Burdock

'Almost' is different from 'being'.
My PFS hunter has been missing about 9 out of 10 shots fired.
Although...Father Burdock might remember a ranger missing every single shot in the game, in some shady museum.

He also made my Paladin fail a couple saves in one scenario..

Hush....dicebot at fault there. :)

Elsa draws her wand and casts True Strike on herself.

Elsa makes her next strike dead-on with the magic wand.

Father Burdock

@GM: Are the thin brown images the ladders?

Yes, those thin brown things can be used as ladders.

Burdock moves forward, following Sivar, hammer drawn. "By Torag's beard, halt this attack!", he shouts.

Reminder for those without special vision, the lighting is a 20% miss chance.

As Father Burdock takes to a sidestreet, following Sivar, he ends up next to another shady looking dwarf.
"Evenin'..huhuhuh..."
---------------------------------

Evening ambush, round 2.

Thorn explores the city streets.
----------------------
Dwarven thugs.
*Blue retrieves something from his pocket.
As he 5ft steps east, Grint's arrow takes flight.
Your 15 is just short of AC, so i'm not rolling hit.
He throws it in a faint arc of the roof.
VS AC 5: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Fort Sivar DC 13: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Fort Father Burdock DC 13: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
A bright flash enters the eyes of the two, they are blinded for 1 round.
Pink: "Harhar...nice 'un."
Green retrieves something too and proceeds his roof walking.
Orange 5ft steps closer to the edge, gazing down upon the blinded strangers.
VS Sivar, PBS: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 + 1 = 18Dmg, PBS, SA: 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (4) = 7
Fort DC 14: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
Whatever was on the arrow, Sivar resisted its effect.
Pink stands in front of Father Burdock
Axe, 2 hands: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21Dmg, SA: 1d8 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 3 + (3) = 9
Only due to blindness does he manage a hit.
Purple retrieves something and skulks closer, just out of sight.
-----------
Sivar
-----------
Dwarf hug leader
-----------
Elsa, Father Burdock & Grint

blindness caused me to be able to be hit? And you failed saves for both of us? Can i stab him with my reach weapon?

Yes to both.
Orange didn't come into view..sry for the pun, until after blue.
You'd get a general idea, however, from that protruding arrow.

Fauchard+1 I'll let you add penalties: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 291d10 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

crit confirm: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 191d10 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

You were blinded.
1d100 ⇒ 14
:/

The fauchard swoops before the eyes of the dwarf, whose eyes turn big as death was about to take him.
------------------
Dwarf thug leader
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19, hops over a grate and heads into an alley.
------------------
Elsa, Father Burdock & Grint

Grint takes a 5-foot step west and fires twice at pink, seeing Sivar and Father burdock struggle.

Attack, Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim, PBS, Cover?: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 2 + 1 - 2 = 171d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 151d8 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Substracted a -2 partial cover penalty from sivar being in the way, but if it's soft cover substract another -2

I mentioned earlier the lighting, Grint, twice.
Humans have a 20% miss chance. Pink has cover from both the crate and Sivar, instead of -2 it's -6.

Miss 2nd shot?: 1d100 ⇒ 87
The dwarf goes down.

Elsa & Father Burdock

I thought one of us had used a torch or something, must've misread that. My apologies.

Elsa sends a Rimed Snowball at whichever dwarf she can see not sure about LoS issues and rooftops...

RTA: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (15) + 24 = 39 Cold: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 4, 3) = 10 Entanged for 1 round AND Fort DC 17 or be staggered

Elsa draws her Wand of Magic Missiles...

Burdock rubs his eyes, cursing in dwarven. He concentrates his casting, hoping to keep the foes at bay as he casts a spell.
Concentration vs DC 17: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Casting Bless: +1 to hit for the party!

Well Everyone but me.. Also corrected the movement.. I wear Medium armor... Otherwise I would have charged the Dwarf.

With Father Burdock invoking Torag's blessing upon the party, we close the round.

Elsa...there's the 20% miss roll for humans.
1d100 ⇒ 24
Guys please keep it in mind. :)

Fort blue: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
The dwarf shakes off the stagger effect.
"The woman's dangerous!"

Dwarf thug leader: Within hearing of Father Burdock & Sivar
"We're to take out her escorts, she's the one we're after."
--------------------------

Evening ambush, round 3.

Thorn sees shady alleys, a beggar or two and is called out to, by a tavern wench, to come try the latest batch of ale.
-----------
Dwarf Thugs
Shot, PBS: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 - 2 = 4Dmg, PBS: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
His shot at Elsa is waaaayyy off.
Green lobs something down.
Vs AC 5: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Fort Elsa DC 14: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Fort Grint DC 14: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
The sudden flash doesn't harm Elsa, who blinks just in the nick of time.
Grint, however, is blinded for one round.
Orange Shot vs Grint, PBS: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 + 1 = 16Dmg, PBS, SA: 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 1 + (2) = 9
Grint is hit in the shoulder. Orange moves along the roof.
Purple moves closer to the edge of the roof.
"Hope yer' a sound sleeper."
Shot: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 + 1 = 22Dmg, PBS, SA: 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (5) = 9
Shot: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 + 1 = 18Dmg, PBS, SA: 1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (5) = 8
He hits the fighter in the leg for a nasty wound.
Fort Grint DC 14: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Grint takes 1 con dmg.
-----------
Sivar No longer Blinded
-----------
Dwarf Thug Leader
-----------
Elsa, Father Burdock No longer blinded & Grint Blinded 1 round

I thought with True Strike you ignored miss chances...

Additionally, you are not affected by the miss chance that applies to attackers trying to strike a concealed target.

A homing attack.....lol. Well i rolled a hit, so no difference then.

Sivar moves 20 around the corner and attacks the leader?

Fauchard+1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 101d10 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15What's with the ones again.. gah.. all my games.. .. hopefully I don't kill myself

Dunno, but you have some keen senses of where the leader went, when you didn't see him :P.
20ft around the corner comes up in his face, i'll take 15ft for the attack.

Sivar's fauchard swings wide over the dwarf leader's head.
"Elf-blood eh? Pointy ears should stick to their trees."
--------------
Dwarf thug leader steps 5ft closer to Sivar.
"Bad elf, ever had scurvy before?"

Dude u suck 3 out of 4 failed rolls even with my +4 vs disease I still fail

Grint fires twice at the last spot he saw orange.

Rapid Shot, PBS: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 = 271d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 1 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 91d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Miss chances 1-50: 1d100 ⇒ 401d100 ⇒ 81

Elsa aims her wand of Magic Missile at the most wounded of the enemies

PewPewPew: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Burdock summons a floating warhammer that strikes at foe on the rooftop!

Spiritual weapon @ Blue: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Ah ha that was a touch spell and I see no touch attack rolled against me.
