Year of Our Lord 1437 Pathfinder RAW PVP Combined Tables 1 & 2

Game Master Michael Johnson 66

Toshiro, and the rest of the spellcasters, should not take a watch at all.

Shiki never sleeps! Shiki will help watch over whoever is on watch!

At around an hour past midnight, the Dreaded Dunecrawler, an insatiable desert bandersnatch, creeps upon the expedition camp to kill Mwikali's donkey... Sneak 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (10) + 23 = 33 vs Perception roll of the camp watcher...

Cardinal Lucius would never admit it, but he appreciates a full night of sleep whenever he can have it and instead of protesting simply blesses those who volunteer for a watch before settling in for the night.

Can't quite beat that check while asleep... nearly though!

Cool, just after midnight will be while Bernardo, the Fox, and Alphonse are all awake.
Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
I think the campfire probably has a 30ft radius of normal light and then the next 30ft are dim (better than the 20ft-20ft provided by a torch, since it's a bigger fire). I have low-light vision, so each of those dimensions is doubled for me.
But I'm just not perceptive enough! =)

Ogon Fox is not paying close enough attention to the animals to notice Mwikali's donkey vanish into the darkness with little more than a stifled squeal and a flash of glowing blue eyes...

Alphonse has no ranks in Perception, so he cannot possibly pass that check.

Shiki, on the other hand, MIGHT be able to? It's a longshot though.

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

Shiki, on the other hand, MIGHoT be able to? It's a longshot though.

[dice=Perception]1d20+15

Shiki also fails to notice the exact moment when the donkey stops braying and is never seen again...

Perception 1d20 + 1d6 + 19 ⇒ (12) + (2) + 19 = 33

Bernardo stops folding blankets and walks over to Alphonse Veritas, Oathkeeper and
Shikigami.

Whisper "I apologies for my interruption good sirs, but I thought you should now, there is something just outside the camp to the east, its skulking about so I suspect its up to no good"

He then goes back to folding Blankets. But as he does so,
Sleight of Hand 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
He slips a vile into his hand.

** spoiler omitted **

Perception 1d20+1d6+19

Shikigami.

Whisper "I apologies for my interruption good sirs, but I thought you should now, there is something just outside the camp to the east, its skulking about so I suspect its up to no good"

He then goes back to folding Blankets. But as he does so,
Sleight of Hand 1d20+7
He slips a vile into his hand.

Machiavelli's keen underworldly senses detect the desert bandersnatch as it steals the donkey, his half-drow eyes locking with the icy blue orbs of the desert bandersnatch for a brief second as the campfire cracks and leaps into the night sky...

The mounts are clearly disturbed and on alert within a few seconds of the desert bandersnatch brazenly pouncing on the donkey in the shadows between two large tents!

There is a stifled squeal, then ravenous chomping, chewing and swallowing in the darkness, receding further away over the dunes...

Stealth 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (16) + 23 = 39 to hit and run...

Looks around as there is crunching out in the darkness.

"AWAKEN!! A beast has come to eat our mounts!! STAND if you do not wish to see your rides be devoured."

He drinks the vile and pulls his blade, then walking to his mount up ties it and mounts.

"UP AND MOUNT, or it will trail us all the while we travel this land. UP I SAY"

Mwikali will cast Mage Armor and activate her ring her armor class remaining the same.

Ihrin pulls on her chain shirt and pulls on her bracers and then her wakizashi and the electric katana

The bandersnatch is about 60 feet east of the camp, having snatched the donkey from between two large tents that are part of a ring of tents surrounding the campfire.

The adventurers are in the camp, rising and arming themselves...

POSITIONS

Edit: Sorry, crappy photo. I'll try a better one tomorrow.

Lucius rolls out of his blankets at the alarm, reaching for Dies Irae with one hand and whispering the commands to Seraphim as he rises. The magical carpet carries him high above the camp, where he scans for the foe.

Grab bow, mount carpet, climb 30 feet. Should be a full round.

Alphonse Initiative 1d20 ⇒ 7 (Sorry I forgot ya at first, Storm Dragon)

EEEEK!! SQUEEEEAAAKK!! (That poor donkey! You are cruel, GM MJ66... cruel...)

Four barbs or quills fly like arrows out of the black of night from the east, each targeting a different target!

Quill at Alphonse 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (11) + 20 = 31 punctures the paladin's left shoulder pauldron for 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 piercing damage!

Quill at Ihrin 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (16) + 20 = 36 strikes the princess' left hip for 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 piercing damage!

Quill at Machiavelli's gecko 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23 pierces the lizard's tail for 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 damage!

Quill at Ogon Fox 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (11) + 20 = 31 punctures the kitsune's right pectoral muscle dealing 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 piercing damage!

If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared. - Machiavelli

He mount hit, he drops his blade and Machiavelli lifts up a large cross bow and takes aim into the darkness, his Dark-elf eyes giving him sigh, he stakes aim carefully and .

"Above all else be armed"

He says as he lets a bolt go into the darkness.

Ranged Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25, confirm crit 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 DMG 2d10 + 5 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (9, 2) + 5 + (1) + (6) = 23 + Con Save 17 or Drow sleep poison, Sleep in 1min to 2d4 hours

The dark elf-blooded Machiavelli's bolt strikes true, right between the glowing blue eyes! A groan of pain echoes from the darkness, sounding some 60 feet distant, give or take... Machiavelli"s darkness-penetrating eyes perceive the outline of the beast... a giant, feline monster with six legs and a spine bristling with barbs...

Down 23 hp... It is immune to poison and sleep...

Snarling, the monster in the darkness glares with its glowing blue eyes at the half-dark elf and they seem to flash with an almost maddeningly contagious lunacy!

BTW, Alphonse, Ihrin, the gecko, and Ogon Fox must attempt DC 24 Reflex saves or become sickened by the pain from the quills! Nasty beast lol...

Reflex DC 24: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
With low light vision and the campfire, for the Fox the bandersnatch will be in dim light. So I should be able to see where he is and approach (especially having seen the attack), but will suffer a 20% miss chance to my attack because of the dim light.

The Fox winces at the pain from the quill in his chest, but he pulls it out. Seeing where the bandersnatch lies, he charges it!

Unarmed strike, charge: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 16 + 2 = 36
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Miss Chance, 1-20 is a miss: 1d100 ⇒ 64

My AC is now reduced to 15 for this round. But if the bandersnatch makes ranged attacks, I threaten him and so he will provoke attacks of opportunity from me (I have 3 of those).

Fox's strike connects solidly with the beast's snout, a satisfying crunch as the cartilage pops, and the beast grunts in pain!

*UUFF!!*

Down 36 damage total...

EEEEK!! SQUEEEEAAAKK!!

A strange, insane yodeling cry echoes from the darkness to the east!

WAKA-HOOOOOO!! WAKA-HOOOOOO!!

The desert bandersnatch issues a primal challenge with its weird, fey cry! Deranged and mocking, it coils in the darkness, blue eyes googling and glowing madly!

Toshiro forgot to prepare new spells after the fight with the dragon, so he calls down overkill on the bandersnatch!

He begins to beseech the spirits for lightning from the clear desert sky!

Also, what Knowledge to know about Bandersnatches?

Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Alphonse is vaguely sickened by the painful barbed quills of the beast, but knows holy light will purge the pain from his body when the time is right.

He calmly moves through the sand at the creature.

"If you can understand human speech, creature, begone from this place and I will not pursue. You have done no damage that cannot be fixed to my companions. If you stay I will be forced to retaliate with lethal force."

Double move 40 feet.[

Arcana, as they be magical beasts from the First World... creatures of the Tane...

Shiki frowns at the creature that killed the donkey.

It moves in, scoops up a rock, and throws it at the creature.

Ranged, 2 range increments away: 1d20 + 8 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 - 2 - 2 = 13

Looks like a miss.

The angel-blooded paladin advances over the hardtack desert dunes toward the weird, weasel-cat-like blue-eyed menace in the darkness east of camp...

Ihrin Growls threw the pain and strikes in a deadly dance of steel

Katana: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Lighting: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Katana: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (13) + 0 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Lighting: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Mwikali comes out of her tent naked and her face contorted in a scowl as she begins to cast. At the end of the inflect of her native tongue she lets loose from her fingertips of her right hand a lighting bolt!

Lighting damage: 10d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 3, 3, 2, 4, 2, 6, 2) = 32
Reflex DC18

Lucius picks out the glowing eyes in the dark and begins shooting.

Flurry: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Flurry: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Flurry: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

In the darkness he is not as accurate as he would like, but one of his arrows strikes home with mighty force!

AC 29, so no actual hits, but one shot comes close, striking but bouncing off the monster's quills...

Neither of my current characters has Arcana!

"Strike now!" Toshiro calls, and the spirits of heat and cold temporarily put aside their differences to strike the Bandersnatch down!

Sacred Geometry for Maximized Lightning Storm: 10d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 3, 5, 5, 6, 2, 4, 6) = 42

5+2+6*4+4+6-4-3-5+3=53.

DC 20 Reflex for half of 18 damage. Toshiro is AFTER the 'snatch, so even if this kills it it still gets an action.

Reflex 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31 succeeds, taking half damage, or 16 electricity...

Mwikali's lightning bolt lights up the battlefield briefly with a flash revealing the strange monster's six-legged body!

52 damage vs 180 hp

Reflex 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29succeeds, taking 21 electricity damage...

After fast healing, down 63 damage vs 180 hp...

Toshiro adds more lightning from the spirits that blasts the monster's hide!

The 10d6 is not the damage, it's the Kn. Engineering. I maximized it so it's a flat 18 damage. So ti should only take 9.

I'm still waiting for the bandersnatch to take its Round 2 turn before I take mine.

ROUND 2:

Bite at Ogon Fox 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (6) + 24 = 30 chomps down on Fox's left arm dealing 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 5) + 7 = 14 damage!

The Desert bandersnatch nips at Fox in retaliation for that punch on the nose, then shoots away 60 feet further from the camp (120 feet from camp now total) into the darkness!

Bite standard action then moves 60 ft sway, provoking attack of opportunity from Fox and Alphonse...

Swift action gaze attack on Ogon Fox, Fortitude DC 23 or confused...

It's weird blue eyes seem to glow with an madness-inducing light!

AoO: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36
Miss Chance, 1-20 is a miss: 1d100 ⇒ 61
AoO damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Fort save DC 23: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Confirm Crit?: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30 Confirmed!
Critical damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 28 total damage from Fox's critical hit on that AoO!

The Fox grimaces as the bandersnatch nips him, but then as the beast flees he takes the opportunity to punch it again! Then he feels the strange inimical gaze of the bandersnatch upon him, but shakes off any ill effect.

I'm not 100% certain of this, but I am guessing that after that additional 60 feet of movement away from the camp, the bandersnatch is now outside where the dim light reaches, even for low-light vision. That means it is in total darkness and I can't see it. For that reason, I think the only sensible action I can take is to move back to the camp and try to take cover behind a tent. No--wait a second...

ROUND 2:

Bite at Ogon Fox 1d20+24 chomps down on Fox's left arm dealing 2d6+7 damage!

The Desert bandersnatch nips at Fox in retaliation for that punch on the nose, then shoots away 60 feet further from the camp (120 feet from camp now total) into the darkness!

Bite standard action then moves 60 ft sway, provoking attack of opportunity from Fox and Alphonse...

Swift action gaze attack on Ogon Fox, Fortitude DC 23 or confused...

It's weird blue eyes seem to glow with an madness-inducing light!

This sequence of events confuses me. Does it move in next to Alphonse (who was 20 ft. away from it), and then move away (it has Spring Attack or soemthing?) or is it just a mistake in where you thought Alphonse was?

Fox ran toward the monster and made a single attack in round 1, so they were adjacent to each other about 60 feet from the camp. Maybe Fox wouldn't have the move speed to have reached the bandersnatch in round 1? That could be where the confusion arises...

The Fox has an idea as he shakes off the bandersnatch's gaze. The bandersnatch, and everyone else, sees the Fox drop to the ground. It looks like he died instantly when the bandersnatch focused its gaze upon him!

Spending 1 ki point as a move action to make use of the 'appear dead' function of my ki metabolism power.

As a move action, he can spend 1 ki point to enter a state of suspended animation, falling unconscious and appearing dead to all senses. At the time he enters this state, he indicates a preset period of time or a triggering condition, after which he awakens.

The triggering condition to re-awaken me shall be when the bandersnatch approaches within 5 feet of me (presumably, to start eating or to drag me away and then start eating). Now, I won't be interrupting the bandersnatch's turn with my own further actions--I'm not doing a readied action, I just will awake when he approaches so that I'm awake already when it comes to my turn again. Also, since I will awake when he gets within 5 feet, that means I will no longer be unconscious and helpless at the time that he attempts to bite me (although I will still be prone, which gives a +4 to his melee attack roll).

Finally, to all of my allied PCs--you've never seen me do this before, so you definitely think I have just died.

Fox has speed 50 so I will rule that the bandersnatch was 50 rather than 60 feet outside of the campfire light, allowing Fox's strike in round 1 to happen. So now it is 110 feet, not 120 feet, from campfire. Make sense?

Fox ran toward the monster and made a single attack in round 1, so they were adjacent to each other about 60 feet from the camp. Maybe Fox wouldn't have the move speed to have reached the bandersnatch in round 1? That could be where the confusion arises...

My move speed is 50 feet, but when you charge you move as much as double your speed (100 feet), so it was no problem for me to go 60 feet.

I think the only issue here is that in Round 2, the bandersnatch should only provoke from the Fox when it moves, not from Alphonse also. Because Alphonse was not adjacent to the bandersnatch like the Fox was.
