The Quest for Perfection Trilogy [PFS Regular] [Tier 4-5] (Inactive)

Game Master Amsheagar

Not realizing Gundren hadn't gone, I went a bit out of turn. I moved between the goblioid and Zalanda. I failed my acrobatics check and missed with my dagger. So you owe me an AoO.

AoO Green Vs Jones: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 Oh, i did miss that action.

Jones tries to push past the green, but didn't get past him. Leaving him open for an attack, but the attack misses.

Still not believing in the shadow bird, The Pink complainant steps up and attacks Saarai but misses.
Pink Vs Saarai: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
The Green attacks Jones again and misses again.
Green Vs Jones: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
The Yellow likes where he has Kuwabara and attacks the huge man.
Yellow Vs Kuwabara: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
The Blue Gobliniod facing Gudrun sees a shadow out of the corner of his eye. Will: 1d20 ⇒ 3
He swings his spear at the shadows and hits only air.
Blue Vs Shadows: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Using another point of fervor to cast a spell as a swift. Giving up Liberating Command to cast CLW on self.

CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

attacking with Power attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 - 1 + 2 = 13 I'm guessing that misses.

The magic number you're looking for is 15.

Gudrun swings again...

Masterwork battleaxe: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 71d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Getting abit tired of my dice sucking in this game.

Duskin summons yet another Shadow Eagle - this time, trying to flank with Saarai.

Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Talon 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Confirming Crit Talon 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Extra Damage if confirmed: 1d4 ⇒ 2

A small snake slithers along Zalanda's arm as she begins to chant and speak in cryptic tongue. She turns her gaze to the humanoid near Jones and blows a kiss into the air.

Cast Daze DC 16 on Green

Saarai stabs at one of the creatures but misses as her rapier strikes the rigging.

MW rapier (cold iron): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 111d6 ⇒ 2

Jones will attack, once again, with his dagger.

Dagger: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

He curses under his breath. Enough of this. He draws his Crossbow.

Kuwabara swings and misses.
Gudrun Swings, grumbles and misses.
Duskin summons more shadows to attack his foes.
will: 1d20 ⇒ 15
The pink foe ignores it as she know's it's fake. But still takes damage from them. Minimum of 1.
Zalanda tries to daze the green one.
will: 1d20 ⇒ 12
Which is overcome by the woman's beauty and is dazed.

Round 3
Saarai swings and misses the foe
Jones swings again and missed.... Fed up with this he draws his crossbow.

The Green foe looks at Zalanda and smiles.

Pink swings at Saarai and scores a powerful hit, almost critting her... but falls short during.
pink Vs Saarai: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
pink Vs Saarai: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Saarai steps to the south in an effort to help Gudrun finish off his target.

"Flank!" she yells to the dwarf.

MW rapier (cold iron): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 201d6 ⇒ 1

Attack with power attack and divine favor: 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 - 1 + 2 = 14

-Posted with Wayfinder

Gudrun steps onto the flank and throws down his axe, drawing his short sword to favor accuracy over power.

Mwk Shortsword w/Hatred and Flank: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 141d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

I am so sorry about my rolls here folk...

Duskin shakes his hands again. The dark puppetry is all he has - and he uses it, everything he got if needed be. He summons yet another shadow eagle to flank with Saarai and attack purple (if it falls, then it will 5-foot step/fly and continue its attack against green trying to flank with Jones).

Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Talon 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Talon 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

DC 14 Will for 20% damage - my rolls are really impressively terrible! Lol

A small snake slithers along Zalanda's arm as she begins to chant and speak in cryptic tongue. She turns her gaze to the humanoid on the deck below her and blows a kiss into the air.

Cast Daze DC 16 on Pink

Jones will take a 5' step back, drop the dagger, load the crossbow and fire.

Hvy Crossbow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 = 24
Damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Since GD 4 will end in a week. I am finishing this battle.

In the nets of the foe, you are able to find a campfire bead.

Half a day later,
The scent of rich earth permeates the air as the canyon narrows into a small gully barely wide enough to let the ship through, muddy cliffs bordering each side. The river lulls here, and mud from the overhangs of the walls drips onto the deck as the boat slowly makes its way toward a channel leading to the northeast. During this journey, you start finding leeches that have attached to parts of your bodies. Luckily nothing too bad happened from it.

3 days later.
The light of dawn reveals a ship some six hundred feet to port and fast approaching. Its banner bears a single upthrust spear, and its golden sails sparkle in the morning sun.

Round 1 You have 4 rounds until they reach you.

Ships Move

Kasei prepared Shield of Faith and Magic Weapon in place of the Command spells listed on the profile.

Kasei casts Magic Weapon on his Katana as they watch the ship chasing them, but then gets his bow and arrows ready. "Ready yourselves! It is the lingshenese!"

knowledge(local): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

As the ship approaches, Jones moves to the Port side of the boat and loads his crossbow. He'll kneel down, using the edge of the ship as cover; resting his crossbow on the ship edge he'll take aim toward the enemy, and wait.

Saarai groans and draws her wand of magic missile.

"Guessing we can't talk our way out of this one. Or outrun them."

She prepares to fire her wand at anyone exhibiting a hostile action.

readied magic missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Zalanda waits undercover loading her crossbow until the ship is within range of spells.

Saarai says "Guessing we can't talk our way out of this one. Or outrun them."

Turning to Saarai. "Sure we can just need a little magical persuasion." Giving the woman a smile then leaning toward Kasei. "Who are the lingshenese?"

"We passed through that border crossing at Lingshen, and they were searching us, without cause. I think they may have realized we had what they were looking for, and sent someone to capture it. Hide the braid!"

"Oh those guys. Well Saarai may be right. No talking out of this one."

Duskin takes his crossbow and gets ready. He stays down for the moment, hiding and clearly shaking in fear.

As the ship approaches yours, you prepare you self and act accordingly. Saarai manages to hit one with a magic Missile as they looked ready to board.
Please make sure you're Position on the map is good.

Kasei would have moved to the main deck and suggested Saraai move behind him for protection. If it's not too late, he would have also cast Shield of Faith on himself as the ship approached.

While the other ship closes, Saarai sends another magic missile at the same enemy she had hit before.

magic missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Duskin summons another of his shadow eagles by Blue, in the hopes the illusion will give him some trouble.

Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Talon 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Confirming Crit for Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Extra Damage if it crits: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Sorry, finishing several games right now and you all got misplaced.

Saarai shoots her missiles at Yellow, causing some well deserved damage.

Several others have prepared to fight, but none have attacked.

Round 4,

Saarai hits the same target with a missile.

The orange guy comes out of the cabin and moves to your ship. Chanting a spell along the way. Once there, he attacks Kuwabara.
attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18 and barely connects.
damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 + electrical damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
and his spell moves through his blade, dealing extra damage to Kuwabara.
Scorching Ray: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 6) = 12
for a total of 21 damage on the stout fighter.

Yellow, Sick of the missiles flying at him from a specific woman, moves past Zelanda, causing an AoO, and attacks Saarai with a stunning fist.
attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
But in anger, he punches the mast.

Blue swings across a rope to land right in front of Gudrun and tries to stun him.
attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
But the only thing that's stunning is the miss he had.

The remaining pirate follows the yellow but stops at Zelandra and attacks, attempting to stun her.
attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Duskin summons his monsters and two eagles appear around the Blue Pirate. will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 The pirate screams in pain as the bird tares into him.

I thought I updated my profile, it must not have saved. Unless there wasn't time to cast Shield of Faith, or if you consider him flat-footed, Kasei's AC is actually 20 right now. If it still got through, his actions will be the same anyway, since he believes the best defense is a good offense.

"This one's a caster! Focus on her!"

Swift action to cast Divine Favor.

Katana with power attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 2 - 1 = 11

I'd like to use a reroll if I can, I have T-shirts. Can take a picture if you want.

katana with power attack reroll if allowed: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 2 - 1 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 5 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 + 3 = 16
confirmation: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 - 1 = 16
damage if confirmed: 1d8 + 5 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 + 3 = 16

After his strike, if she is alive, he will ask her, "Who are you wand what do you want? We are not criminals, and this is not Lingshen!" in Tien.

Jones takes aim and fires his Crossbow.

If Jones has a clear shot at Orange, he'll fire at Orange, otherwise he'll fire at Red. Not sure which square Red is in.

Heavy Crossbow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

He curses under his breath and reloads.

Gudrun draws his short sword and stabs at his blue attacker, taking advantage of the flanking eagle.

Mwk Shortsword: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 = 102d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 6) + 3 = 15

I actually don't remember my last decent dice roll...

Saarai steps back from the angry man in yellow and fires an acid arrow in into his chest.

"Hello there!" Saarai taunts.

ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
CRIT?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
damage: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3 lasts one more round

Zalanda slides to the left near the stairs as she throws a hand full of colorful powders into the air while chanting a cryptic phrase. "I like getting close and personal but this is a little to close."

Cast Color Spray DC 15 hitting all three enemies in front of Zalanda

It didn't get through to you Kuwabara.
Kuwabara swings and does massive damage to Orange.

Seeing Zalanda start to cast, Red attacks.
AoO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 but misses.

Red: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Yellow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Orange: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 Stunned

Gudrun swings and misses
Jones swings and misses

Saarai lands a powerful hit on yellow... but doesn't take him down.

Orange, stunned drops his weapon.

Blue strikes out twice at Gudrun and managing to land one.
Furry of Blows: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Furry of Blows: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Yellow steps up to Saarai and does likewise and managing to critically hit her.
Furry of Blows: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Furry of Blows: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Furry of Blows: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 3) + 6 = 15

Not liking the witch with the magic colors next to him, The red does the same.
Furry of Blows: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Furry of Blows: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

If I understand right, the magus who attacked Kasei got hit by the spell and got stunned.

Kasei notices his opponent is stunned and says, "Attacking you right now would not be honorable." Instead, he steps back to help Saraai.

attack on yellow: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 2 - 1 = 15
damage: 1d8 + 5 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 + 3 = 17

"Move Jones!!" Zalanda sweetly yells at the crossbowman. Once Jones moves Zalanda gracefully waves her hands in the air as she lets a hand full of colored powder fill the air and speaks a cryptic phrase.

Cast Color Spray DC 15 on RED and Orange

Saarai grunts as the enemy knocks the wind out of her. Still, she has the presence of mind to step back and cast a spell. An icy snowball springs from her hand and toward the enemy.

ranged touch attack, snowball: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 124d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 2, 1) = 8 DC 15 Fort or staggered 1 round

ongoing acid arrow: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3

I'll wait to see if Kuwabara or the acid drop the guy first before casting the snowball. If he's already down, I'll move and send that at another enemy.

As the previous Shadow Eagle is disappearing, Duskin is dancing his hands again. He finally finishes and pushes both hands forward, puppeteering (surprise surprise!) another Shadow Eagle in place of the previous one on the same square, that proceeds to attack Blue again. It's flanking.

Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Talon 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Talon 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

DC 14 Will for 20% damage

"Moving."

Jones will take a 5' step to his right (left on the map) and ready an action to fire at red when Zalanda moves.

Duskin, seeing his shadows finally working, sends another puppet after blue.
will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
However, this time, the Blue Pirate sees through the shadows.

Kuwabara, being a noble man, steps over to help a lady in distress, finishing off the Yellow Pirate in one swing.

Zelanda waits for jones to step back, then she shoots off some more rainbow power at the two foes in front of her.
Will Red: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Will Orange: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
However, this time they both are good.

Gudrun swings his sword at the Blue Pirate, hoping to hit for once this game.
Mwk Shortsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4) + 3 = 8
He finishes off where Duskin's shadow bird left off and finishes the Blue Pirate.

Jones steps back and shoots into the Red Pirate, dealing some good damage.

Saarai aims at 1 is Red, 2 is Orange: 1d2 ⇒ 2, which is enough to kill the Magus.

Not happy that he is the last survivor, Red furries his fists into Zelanda.
flurry of blows: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
flurry of blows: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

[occ]The fight is over. I'll post the update and conclusion later. If you haven't already, give me your info in the Discussion thread.[/ooc]

Kasei will make sure his allies are healed, then check the opponents to see if any are alive. If they are, he will use charges from his wand to stabilize them, and return them to their ship, after taking their gear and getting a promise to leave them be. If the magus is still alive, he will apologize for his ally interfering in their duel, and explain that because the lingshen ship was attacking them outside lingshen territory, they were effectively engaged in piracy, and as such, Kasei feels no obligation to offer the magus another chance at a duel.

The Silver Crusade faction journal card has a goal on it that says, "allow an enemy combatant with no means of escape to flee without further harm." I would think that doing this, healing the foes and returning them to their ship on the agreement that they leave, would qualify for this goal, so I hope that some of them are still alive.

Saraai is probably interested in the magus's spellbook.

Recap, you are currently in Shokuro, a nation controlled by benevolent samurai and you must locate Je Tsun in the village of Nesting Swallow in order to reactivate the dormant powers in the Iroran relic you possess, The Braide of a Hundred Masters.
I am going to say that you docked at a medium size town, so you should be able to restock on necessary items.

Tedium has become a constant companion in the countryside of Shokuro. The roads have dwindled in size and maintenance as the days have passed; what was a wide, stone-paved highway near the river towns has become a narrow, winding track of dust, sometimes fading entirely into the surrounding terrain. Travelers along it have likewise grown scarce as the days drone on. Still, the journey’s end lies no more than half a day’s travel away, in the village of Nesting Swallow, a hamlet so small it could easily vanish into a crease on a map. No more than a few more miles through these sparsely wooded hills and valleys rests the last known home of Master Li Yao, and here, with luck, his descendant still lives. In this speck of farmland may be found one who can, by right of blood, bring forth the forgotten power of the Braid of a Hundred Masters.

Cresting a rise, the trail winds its way up a small hillock that overlooks a large valley beyond. Not far from the hill, a dead mule and overturned cart lie in the middle of the road, two cloaked figures rummaging through the spilled contents of the cart while making disapproving cawing noises to a pair of similarly dressed riders on horseback. Two other horses stand on the side of the road, presumably mounts for the two on foot. The mounted figures loom over a half-dozen shabbily dressed peasants. One of the riders urges his horse forward and makes a threatening slash at the face of a man trying to shield several children behind him.

The rider menacing the family croaks at the father in a harsh tone.

What will you do?
Red and Blue Tengu are on foot. the Green and Orange Tengu are mounted.

(Before this scene begins)

The group of travelers has grown by one, with the addition of a rather plump, smiling Tien man with skin the color of a statue's bronze. He had been sitting patiently by the side of the road as they traveled through the countryside of Shokuro, and seemed not unlike the many wandering monks and itinerant beggars they might have passed so far-- but when they approached, he had stood with a bow and a smile, and introduced himself as a fellow Pathfinder, charged with helping them finish the last leg of their mission.

In appearance, Guang wears loose, humble monk's robes of coarse cloth, without adornment or elaborate stitching. He has a conical straw hat in the Tien style, and, while he has a walking cane, does not seem to carry many visible weapons. The most striking thing about him visually is the color of his skin, which does make him somewhat resemble statues that the group has passed in their travels in the Dragon Empires.

He has been exceedingly friendly and cheerful during the trip so far.

***

Guang tuts to himself as he observes the trouble ahead. "The rider demands coins from this family. They obviously cannot have much to give. What unfortunate philosophical errors people make!"

Moving lightly for a man with his physical bulk, Guang jogs forward, an empty hand raised. "Ho-a!" He continues talking to the riders in Tien.

(Move action: move 40 ft forward on the road (single move);
(Swift action: Enter Snapping Turtle style);
(Standard action: ready an unarmed strike vs anyone who attacks him in melee)

After Guang moved up and alerted the foes, They change their target and get ready to attack those who have come upon their booty.
