Reign of Winter in Winter (Inactive)

Game Master DoubleGold

Assuming the hour is over.

”I would rather press on Goliath. Let us now rather go as a group. I was lucky the first time but better to go together now!“

do we know if there are other beings around? Have we heard anything from other parts of the compound?

The gnome jumps to his feet, and groans, realizing how stiff he's gotten while he was trying to build straw houses to keep himself entertained.

"It is of no consequence to me. Let us carry on."

The Pathfinders hear nothing outside or near here.
They enter the house through the porch then head to the Trophy room. A bearskin rug dominates the floor of this trophy room, and the heads of several deer have been mounted on the walls. Doors lead north and south, while two hallways go farther east.

Andor moves to the north.

Stealth : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

She will go with the group, hand at her morning star.

Andor trips over a couple of things and makes small noises as well as making the door creak, the good news is that north only has small bedrooms in it and no enemies, in fact everyone in the party is sure that anyone a room away would not have heard him, though if there were people in the bedroom, they would have.

The gnome starts poking around, being overtly curious about what's in the room besides us.

Bronaval and her shadow follow along quietly.

Just then a half-orc comes out of the kitchen and into the trophy room where you all are. Dinner is ready. Oh, they must be in the great room. Then he sees you all. Wait, you ain't suppose to be here. I'm going to have to tell security you are here, or you can leave, unless you want me to kill you all one by one. She draws here short sword.

"Ten-Penny Tacey I assume."

Hearing the noise from Andor, Kurgen comes clanking in as well, "Making as much noise as I do Andor."

"Ten-Penny Tacey I assume."

Yes that is me, and it is my job to get rid of all intruders.

Andor steps forward.

”It is a pleasure to meet you! I assume that you are doing your job because of ethical reasons or because of moral considerations. May I remind you that forces of another plane are invading this territory and taken this building from those it rightfully belongs! And thus I hope that you understand that we want to change the current set up and want to understand how to get rid of these beings. Can you help us?!“

Diplomacy : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

There is no need for violence, Madam, she says We are all friends here as she concentrates and attempts to charm the half orc

DC 16 will

will: 1d20 ⇒ 20 She isn't charmed but she does respond to Andor.
Moral or ethical? I'm just carrying out orders, kill or throw out intruders in this house and alert those guys, even if they do leave. I have no idea what these guys do, nor do I know what you all do. I was also ordered by these guys to protect these beings, especially the one in the stable. I have no idea what these planer beings do or who they are, but I'm ordered to protect them as well. Obviously she is being paid to follow orders blindly, she has no idea it is the right thing to do or not.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Not knowing what spell Emma tried to use, Kurgen takes note of the spellcasting for later discussion.

I'm having trouble following what our plot is. What exactly are we here in this house for? Something connected to the creature we fought earlier?

As she steps out and makes a simple threat, the gnome's eyes sparkle and might be smouldering? He raises his hands and . . . drops them with a disappointed look on his face as the group seems intent on talking to her.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Mas'ud definitely figures it out.
Kurgen. This is a house of bandits, with a few elemental creatures helping them. You have managed to convince two bandits kicked out of this house to take it back, not by proving themselves, but by getting rid of the current bandits here, and make a better life for themselves. The half-orc is a mercenary. There are other rooms in this large house with several bandits that attack nearby towns.

So we need to take these cretins out?

Goliath is clenching is fauchard waiting to attack. He seems resolved to finish their mission and this is an impediment.

"Will you leave here and never come back. The palgue of Irrisen is here and we have to deal with it."

"Will you leave here and never come back. The palgue of Irrisen is here and we have to deal with it."

You might want to give me a diplomacy to get her to do that. She doesn't believe something larger is going on, and she might not leave just because you told her to.

Andor looks at the half-orc and then back at Golaith and then back at the half-orc.

"You can believe us ... winter is coming and you can be a part of the solution to a problem that is going to affect thousands with less for everybody - including you!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Diplomacy Aid: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

The gnome mumbles under his breath and kicks a chair leg.

Yes, you should leave. The Darkness is coming! It will spread to every corner of the land.

Diplomacy 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 aide

That is a very nice roll :)

I'm in some groups with no diplomacy and then there is this charming bunch.

LOL. She has a trait which gives her like a +2 to make requests. I think it is a Chelaxian trait

Okay fine, I'll be a good cook and a guard somewhere else, perhaps in Helden.
She leaves and several bandits enter the trophy room while you are in the kitchen with the door closed. You won't know how many until you open that door. They knock on the kitchen door. Tenny Penny, is dinner ready? We also brought the sick ones into the trophy room too with us, so you will only have walk half the distance this time.

Goliath pits his finger to his mouth. To indicate not to talk. Then he points around the room to indicate an ambush. Finally he takes up a post near the door to maximize Combat Reflexes.

Eyes nearly as wide as the grin on his face, the gnome takes up a position with a good line of sight to the doorway, but out of reach, of course.

Alright, we will come back in fifteen minutes, you better have that dinner ready. And they head back to the room they came from. You now know what room these bandits are in. Now what do you do?

"Let's get rid of them. They will be a problem in the future. At minimum leave them fearful of bad behavior."

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Andor slowly opens the door and hopes that nobody looks at the door.

He then storms in with his rapier ready!

Andor slowly opens the door peers through the crack and they are facing the wrong way.
There are six bandits and six sick bandits all clustered together. Surprise round everyone.

Andor charges forward to attack!

Standard Action charge in a surprise round.

Rapier, charge +2 : 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 22
Piercing damage : 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Goliath will move into the room. Standing away from everyone to maximize Combat ref.

Bronaval and her shadow move into the room to be able to see the bandits.

Do you want me to try and charm one?

I always like a little mind control to solve a problem. Though the effect may be limited by the stabbing that just occurred.

She doesnt mind having a devotee :)

She will attempt to charm one of the male bandits (preferably a good looking one :) )

Will Save 16

She concentrates and manifests power, the bandit hears a voice in his head [b] THere is no need for violence, we are friends here, or at least, I am your friend [/i]

I don't see a map for this currently.

Kurgen doubles moves into the room, pulling out his warhammer and shield on the way.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

"Magiking their minds? We're really going to trade words later Greyfrost." Kurgen says as he rushes past her.

She simply smirks at the dwarf.

As everyone starts pouring through the doorway, the gnome's face falls. "But, I was gonna . . .." and then he waddles after them. Seeing that he can't get past all of them, he trows out the idea of using one of his cone spells, and targets one of the bandits in the back with a ray.

Ranged Touch (30' Range): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Elemental Fire Ray: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

"I think Andor is going to keep running in."

Andor takes out a bandit
Masu'd injures one
will save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16
5 bandits left (1 injured) and 6 sick bandits left
init: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (1) = 3 bandits
init: 3 + 1d20 ⇒ 3 + (5) = 8 Goliath
init: 3 + 1d20 ⇒ 3 + (6) = 9 Emma
init: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (4) = 6 Masu'd Masu'd you can still get off a cone without hitting any allies, as long as less than three of your allies stay out of melee. The max you'll get in a 15 foot cone is three.
init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13 Kurgen
init: 3 + 1d20 ⇒ 3 + (17) = 20 Bronoval
init: 5 + 1d20 ⇒ 5 + (20) = 25 Andor
Round 1, all heroes are up

Andor attacks one of the opponents with his Rapier.

Rapier attack roll, mutagen Dex : 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 2 = 15

Damage roll, mutagen dex : 1d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 13

Parry/Reposte

In case Andor is attacked he uses 'Opportune Parry' and parries by expending an AoO to parry and spends a panache point (so if the attack roll of the opponent is lower than Andor's parry then the opponent does not hit and Andor could potentially reposte)

Opportune Parry: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 2 = 28

In case Andor successfully parries he uses 'Reposte' as an immediate action to attack the opponent that attacked him.

Rapier reposte attack roll: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 2 = 24
Damage reposte roll : 1d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9
