The Quest for Perfection Trilogy [PFS CORE] [Tier 1-2] (Inactive)

Game Master Amsheagar

I went ahead and advanced you on the map. Current Locations, Hadanka is up the rope and in the tunnel, he can act next turn. To get into the chimney, it's another climb check of 15. (sorry) Gram started up the rope and is halfway up. Cit'Vaya is at the base ready to climb up next round.

My pet snaps twice at Jack,
Claw 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Claw 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
But with Jack going into full defense, it is unable to land a blow.

[ooc]I just noticed your comment about the Cat Jack... i sorta used this map as a filler since the other encounter didn't have one.

No, that's fine - I figured that the cat wasn't there, but since we had already encountered a predator, and then I noticed a pile of bones that appeared to have been left over from a predator's lunch, it seemed like a reasonable comment to make ;-)

Drawing his broadsword, Jack continues to maintain his defensive position.

Once again, Total Defence (for +4 AC).

climb: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 well crap!
climb 2nd try: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 I don't know if that is my standard action this round or if it has to be the next round

To my knowledge, the rope has been tied in knots, so the DC is 0.

I thought I needed a 15 to get from the top of the rope to where Jack got pulled by the creature.

You do, but you need to get to the top of the cliff first. You won't be able to climb into the hole until the 3rd round. I'll save your actions when you turn comes around.

As soon as I am able, I will attempt to fast climb the rope, which will decrease my check by 5. This still means that I can't fail by 5 or more, but I could fail to make progress. I will put this amount of effort for as long as combat will be going on. So I will go ahead and make checks until I've achieved the successes for the 40 ft of climb necessary to reach the landing, which will set my actions for the next couple rounds.

Climb: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (17) - 4 = 13
Climb: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (14) - 4 = 10
Climb: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (3) - 4 = -1
Climb: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (16) - 4 = 12
Climb: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (10) - 4 = 6

So 2.5 rounds of climbing to the first summit, then I'll move to the next climbing point with my remainder, which will tie me up or 3 combat rounds.

Ok, I misunderstood. Thought it was only 1 check to get to the top of the rope. Let me know when I can act again.

Fast climbing will get you to the bottom of the tunnel at the end of your first round. Your second round will allow you to get into the tunnel and move. Your third round will be open.

Cit'Vaya climbs up the rope, right after Grams makes it to the top. She is able to double move and get near the top. Meanwhile Hadanka climbs up the chimney and now can see the bestie.Knowledge Nature of 12 will identify it as a Cave Fisher. Bonuses will give you questions. Butharn sees Cit'vaya move up the rope and follows after her.

The cave fisher snaps twice at Jack
claw 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
claw 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
but only does 4 points of damage.

When I can see it
knowledge nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Folks, it is a Cave Fisher. But I don't really remember anything about them.

"Come on. I'll brace the rope as long as I can. The rest of you hurry as fast as you can and Aid Jack." Grams calls down to the rest.

With someone else finally up the top with him, Jack throws caution to the wind, and takes a swing at the beast.

Broadsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20, for 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 damage.

Jack nicks himself in the foot.

Once he makes the summit, Cit'vaya will attempt to make the climb into the Fisher's lair

Climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

With no progress made, he tries again.

Climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

I believe you said I could act in the 3rd round.
.
I forgot to check the map before I came to work this morning. I will assume I can find a spot to hit with the reach guisarme. If not, I will use the morning star.
.
Round 3
.
With a screaming battle cry Hadanka swings at the monster.
guisarme attack w/ rage: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24, if hits guisarme damage: 2d4 + 9 ⇒ (3, 1) + 9 = 13
.
With a meaty thunk, the blade bites into the creature.

You're too close to reach. If you have a smart phone, download the app Google Slides. You can view the map on there. Earlier, i said that you can climb into the chimney in round 3. A move action to get to the chimney and another to get up it. You can act this round, (4) I'll use that attack, plese roll for damage on the morning star.

Grams continues holding the rope and assisting the others to make a swifter climb.
Aid Another 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 This sucks.

No smart phone for me as yet.
morningstar damage two handed: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Ignore my last comment about space. I was thinking of the other game.
The Cave fisher has been severely wounded, But it fights on.
Claw 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Claw 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

and was able to connect with one if it's claws.

I believe Butharn is finally at the top of the rope after his turn this round.

Just FYI, the other group broke the rope (the rock it was tied too) by trying to go three at a time on the rope.

@Amsheagar: I got a 20 to hit, for 8 damage last round - I sincerely hope I did more than nick myself in the foot ;-)

"This thing packs a bit of a punch!"

Jack takes another swipe at the creature.

Broadsword: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17, for 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 damage.

don't worry, i added it to the creatures damage.

Jack manages to hit the creature another time.

Looks like I was a little premature in my rolling to climb, so I'll take that as my action this time so that I can get into the Fisher's cave. That will tie me up for my turn this round.

Go ahead and post your actions, i'll get back to you in the morning.

My round 4 action was the guisarme strike I posted in round 3 for 13 points of damage.

At this point i am not sure if I am in the area where the cave Fisher is yet, but if I am I'll swing at it, and if I am not there yet and need to climb up to the top I'll give that a try.

waraxe: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

or

climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Butharn is up in the tunnel and is climbing up to the top of the cavern, where the cave fisher is.
at this point, i need Grams actions.

Grams continues helping the others climb.
Aid Another Climb 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 Oh Dice Gods!

Gram looks over the edge at the empty floor below him and realizes that everyone is up.

By the way, who is holding onto the light?

Grams.........

I don't use a light, so not me.

I've got an ever burning torch I keep on my belt.

Sorry. Thought we were waiting on Butharn, but he did his action.

Gram holds onto the rope, giving everyone an aid to climb it.

Hadanka Strikes at the crab thing and dealt 13 damage.

Butharn Climbs into the window of the farmers daughter... I mean, into the cave fishers layer.

Once Hadanka strikes the cave fisher, it goes down.

Combat Over

45 minutes later

A narrow path leads up the mountain, hugging a sheer cliff face to one side, while dropping off to the other into what appears to be the remains of a rock slide. Several alcoves have been carved into the cliff face, each containing a small stone shrine—some little more than simple standing stones, others ornately carved lanterns or small houses. The path is well defined, promising easier progress, and is a welcome break from the rough terrain leading up to this point.

The rocks at the bottom is dense ruble, which will add 5 to any acrobatics checks and 2 to any stealth checks. A climb check of 15 is required to climb up or down. You are currently 20 feet from the ground.

Knowledge (Religion) 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
"These shrines once used to ward off the evil spirits and bad luck has fallen into disrepair. The path here is no longer warded. The path also looks more treacherous so watch your step."

"Alright, let's be careful."

FYI, Jack is *not* acting as the front line any more, as he is on 2/11 hp.

Feel free to use wands or spells in the 45 minutes it took from the Cave Fisher's layer to this place.

I'd love to, but the only person in the party that could even be loosely described as a healer is the level 2 Paladin... We are a martial party.

I will lead for now.
Hadanka flings the grappling hook with the knotted cord up the path. Trying to catch it on something and make the climb easier for everyone.
str: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
str again: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

You're already on the path. That check is there encase you want to go up or down.

"Well then, Hadanka - lead us on up the mountain path..."

Sorry, miss-understood.
.
Hadanka carefully moves forward along the path carefully checking each alcove for danger before moving on.
perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Takes out the wand of cure light for Jack

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

46 charges remain.

Also, sorry if there was any delay on my end. I'll be sure to check the posts in the evening as well as first thing in the morning and throughout the day. Just trying to figure out what the typical post schedule looks like.

Grams follows along from the back, his slower gait helping him there.

Let me know if you want me to take the lead at any time.

Otherwise Butharn moves forward with a slow and steady gait, understanding the dangers of mountain travel.

Hadanka goes first and passes an alcove. From whithin that alcove comes bone chilling scream and a huminoid creature with long, sharp teeth and pallid flesh rushes forward in an attempt to push the flat footed opponent off of the cliff.
Bull Rush: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

needless to say, Take 10s are now off the table while in combat.

Jack loads his sling, and fires a bullet at the only monster he can see.

Sling: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 = 26, for 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4 Bludgeoning damage.

Can I swing at the creature from my current spot? If I can and the minuses are no more than -2 I'll swing. Otherwise I'll provoke by moving past Hadanka and then swing.

In either case, swing without any mods:

waraxe: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20. damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Butharn, you have a hard corner that stops you from swinging your axe. You'll have to move. Jake... From your vantage point, the creature will have partial cover from the wall. 1-20 misses. concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 20[/ooc]

Butharn moves past Hadanka to get a better angle of attack, causing the creature to lash out at him.
bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 dealing damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Due to the curve of the wall, Jack's shot bounces off the wall and flies harmlessly into the empty void.

Fort save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Butharn is able to shake off the effects of the ghouls bite then turn around and cleaves the ghoul in two.

Knowledge (Religion) 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

"Everyone fine?"
