GM Chadius's CORE Shades of Ice Trilogy (Inactive)

Game Master chadius

@Hannar - you can use that slot for Mage Armor and then my wand for Shield if you want.
Kavor Doan reactivates his wand of Shield before the party opens the next door.
At 26 charges; 25 if Hannar uses one.

Thank you for the offer, but not sure how long the rest of the mission will take. 3 min is better than 1 without wasting your wand.

Darven (1 damage)
Kavor (2 damage, Resist Energy, Fire.)
Carini (2 damage)

Map

Healed up to the best of your ability, you finally take a look around the room.

The book shelves are filled with books about various insects, animals that eat insects, how to raise your own ant farm, and Vermund's journal. He rambles on about various wizard he had to kill because they hurt his forest, and how he had to flee from the law. Eventually he rambles about his time in the Shadow Lodge and how they gave him sanctuary for he and his insects.

You open the door to the east and see another hallway. There are at least 2 large rooms past the hallway.

Drootina goes wild for a moment to get Loni's attention. He smells something terrible coming from the ground. You all notice a trapdoor at your feet that will give way as soon as you step on it.
Disable Device DC 20 to make it safe to cross.

"Well, if that isn't just our luck. Didn't the Society think to send us out here with someone who knows traps?" Based on what she's seen of this group's talents, she guesses that nobody here is specialized in that, but she looks on expectantly anyway, hoping someone will speak up and prove her wrong.

Assuming nobody has Disable Device

When nobody speaks up to the contrary, Carini begins examining the shelves in the room. "These were just about insects and stuff, right? Nothing really that the Society needs or anything?" She begins pulling books off one of the shelves that has the longest planks. Unless someone else presents a better option, she begins tearing the shelf apart and building a plank bridge to span the distance over the trap.

Knowledge (engineering): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Hortensia shrugs, This really isnt my area, I could give it a whack with the glaive and see if I can pop it open?

Carini thinks up a creative solution, and turns one of the bookselves into a series of planks.
They never really tell me what happens if there is no rogue in the party, but everyone knows about the trap. Let's just say you guys are very careful but it takes several minutes. Any minute-long buffs have expired by now.

You walk past several beds in what seems to be the living quarters. Vermund's filthy, insect-littered is quickly identified. The only thing of importance is one crumpled up note near it.

“Do your duty. Protect the lodge. Your insect interests come second to that. —Melkorka”

As you enter the living quarters, you hear people groaning and someone laughing in the room beyond.

This is it, folks. Get ready.

It was pretty generous of you to give us the Perception checks - we did not specify we were taking the time to check every 5' square due to our short-duration buffs. That's why Trap Spotter is the best Rogue Talent. Probably would have just been a pit, some damage, and some wand charges. Though I think at least one scenario has treasure hidden in the pit trap that you can miss out on, so we should go back and investigate it later. But moving on...
Kavor Doan re-applies his Shield wand (now at 25).

Hortensia also tries to make her shield wand work.

UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

and also activates her wand of bless.

(If mage armor is still up on Drootina, Loni is ready)

Loni creeps forward along with the rest of the party, wary of what to come.

Carini readies her guisarme, and glances around at the other Pathfinders. With a look that asks, are we ready?, she nods her head on cue for the group to make their way into the next room.

With grim determination, you peer into the cavern ahead...

This ice cavern has clearly been dug out. The smell quickly changes from dead insects to a different kind of garbage as you see four goblinoids in the room. Three of the goblins carry short swords and a short bows, standing on and near the crates. One of them is checking on the various chained humans in the room. One of the men in the room matches your description of Skagni.

The other creature is some kind of goblinoid, with multiple vestigial goblin arms jutting from his shoulders.

"Ah, they make the noise!" The big one calls out. "I'll suck the marrow from your bones!" He laughs.

Round 1
Darven (1 Damage)
Carini (2 Damage)
Hannar
Enemy
Loni & Drootina

Combat Map

Carini slips into the room. "Their bones, or mine?" she asks, challenging this strange goblinoid leader. "'Cause neither will be easy!"

Double move: 40'

Hannar delays until the end of the round. Also, I am using my tablet until Friday, so I can't move my icon and will have to give movement directions when I post.

Here are a couple of OA's in the unlikely event the goblins rush into melee with us!

Remember everyone we have Bless for about a minute

knowledge nature: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Darven does not hesitate and moves in. He readies his sword and shield if any moves adjacent.

readied action: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 211d8 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

"Oh, half elven bones are tasty! They have the bulk of human but the sweet elven aftertaste. Kill this half-elf!" He approaches Provoking an AoO from Carini and tries to claw at her.

Claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

As instructed, the goblins fire at her. It's kind of tough to separate friend from foe, though...

Bow: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 6 - 4 = 8
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Bow: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 6 - 4 = 10
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Bow: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 6 - 4 = 12

charging yellow

charge+power attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Hannar moves 2 spaces East, 1 space North, then 3 spaces East. He then raises his hand and fires a ray of fire...

ranged Touch attack vs. Green: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 = 23
possible Fire damage vs. Green: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7

Damn that was close. Please move my icon someone. Thank you.

Hannar moves 2 spaces East, 1 space North, then 3 spaces East.

Please move my icon someone. Thank you.

done

Double Move
Loni moves in with his Wand of Cure Light Wounds out.

Free Action
"Drootina, gnaw this one over here, girl!" He points at the green goblin.

Double Move
Drootina moves into position of what she was told to attack, snorting in excitement.

Kavor Doan moves up and casts Blur on himself.
V only, no ASF.

Carini slices expertly with her guisarme as the goblinoid leader approaches, opening a deadly gash.

That's a lot of damage; did it kill him?

Carini watches the foolish leader run at her. His flank is exposed. She wings carefully and with purpose, tearing into him from one side to the other. He dies before he can even get close to her.

Darven runs up to assist her, but instead finds consolation in chopping into the goblin with the blue pants. He screams in fear.

Hannar also burns another goblin.

Welp, this fight's going to end a lot sooner than originally anticipated. Hortensia
is up.

Seeing things seem to be largely sorted Hortensia jogs into the room and snaps, Give up boys, its over. before levelling her glaive at them.

Double move

"What did I tell you!" One of the old men in the back cries out. "Help would come!" He laughs as the goblins drop their weapons.

With their leader killed in a single blow, the goblins try to flee! But their path is blocked. Carini doesn't even give Blue goblin that chance, tripping him and forcing him to waste time standing up!

Prepare for AoO fest.

Combat Map

Kavor Doan hacks at Green. He hates goblins.
Attack, PA, Hatred: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 - 1 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Kavor sees a Goblin.
Kavor hits the Goblin.
Green has taken 22 damage total so far. I forgot to note the 7 damage Hannar dealt.

22 HP+....that's one tough goblin.

Darven laughs as the Goblins retreat and sheathes his sword. He makes his way over to the old man.

"You must be Skagni."

Darven allows the surrender and will allow the goblins to flee.

Standard Action
Loni cures Kavor.
CLW (Kavor): 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Move Action
He heads to a more advantageous position.

Attack of Opportunity
Drootina attacks the goblins as it moves away.
Gore Attack (Power Attack): 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 - 1 = 11
Gore Damage (Power Attack): 1d6 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 3 = 10

Move Action
She moves up to him again.

And attacks the green goblin!
Gore Attack (Power Attack): 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 4 - 1 = 17
Gore Damage (Power Attack): 1d6 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 3 = 6

Carini strikes at the goblin instinctively as it tries to stand, but misses badly in her haste. She repeats her strike, not willing to let these miscreants live, then moves to make sure they can't flee into the room to the south.

Hortensia takes a swing at the green goblin as it moves past.

OA, pa: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 1 = 15
Damage, pa: 1d10 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 3 = 19

Seeing green now engaged with multiple enemies she takkes a swing at red.

Glaive, pa: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 1 = 10
Damage, pa: 1d10 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 3 = 12

As the goblins try to squeeze past Kovar, dodging everything you throw at them (except Kovar himself, it seems), Darven takes this time to check on one of the men chained to the wall.

"Aye, I'm Skagni." The man laughs as Darven approaches. "You angels don't look as pretty as the legends say! But I'm not picky. The big guy has some keys, and they fit in these manacles around my wrists."

Oops, I missed Bless, add 1 to those attack rolls

Misread their AC here.

Drootina manages to gore one of the goblins, taking the panicky creature down.

Darven walks over to the big one that was slain and searches for the set of keys.

"Boy these things stink to high heavens." Once the keys are in hand he walks back and begins trying the keys on the manacles. "I have been called many thing and an angel is not one of them. So who are your friends" He says pointing at the big troll like things. "Do you know why they were after you all."

Can I trouble the GM for an updated combat status?

Status: The 2 goblins are trying to flee, but Kavor is blocking the exit. It's your choice to let them go or kill them. Kavor has made his choice and Darven is focusing on Skagni.

Hannar moves 3 squares South, then 1 square East. He will let the Goblins pass but will defend himself if attacked.

Hannar moves, casts Detect Magic, then looks around...

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Realizing they have to get past Kavor if they want to escape, the goblins draw short swords and assault him.

Red: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Blue: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Neither can by pass his armor. They continue to yelp.

Meanwhile, Darven begins searching the leader's body. "That thing is called a Glorfan, some kind of mutated goblin that wishes he was a troll. Once he's unconscious though, he can't heal."
