Game Master Aerondor

Lybram wounds the obvious thug, who, off balance, is easily dispatched by Galant.

Fillia rushes her own shot, but with Thordir nearby the second adversary is quickly dispatched.

Combat over, for the moment...

Galant casts shield of faith on himself and moves inside.

Lets find out what's going on her.

AC23

As he moves into the doorway, Galant spots another figure rising from the table.

"Shut the $$#^ door. Wait, you're not..."
He flicks a knife at Galant, unaware of his comrades previous lack of success with the tactics. Within seconds, another tough rush into the room.

Lybram seeing Galant enter the building rushes to follow. double moves to get into position to support the daring movements of Galant.

"Galant, wait, I think ... Well, hell's bells!" "I guess we are going in that building."

Meirdrarel rushes over to where the action is. Double move

Fillia strolls in just avoiding the dagger being thrown narrowly and nocks an arrow as she goes.

"Well they like did say like they were like armed."

Point Blank Shot +1/+1
Favored enenmy, human +2 dmg not included.
Shoot Yellow 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 = 221d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Galant moves, provoking from his enemy and strikes.

For Freedom!

Rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damages: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Most pathfinder rush forward, some more recklessly than others.
AOO: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Fillia, assuming you are going for red who is out of combat
Fillia drills one of the toughts with an arrow, but he stays standing, wincing in pain. Galant can't quite bring his weapon up in time after a frantic parry, and his opponent stays unharmed.

Double move

Thordir pants, and stays in place. delays
The thugs move to flank Flaith, and strike out at her, trying to even the odds as fast as they can. However even with flanking they cannot get past her guard.

Meirdrarel enters and shoots an acid dart at the red thug.

Fillia continues aiming her arrows at Red striped Thug since he's the one she last shot.

Fillia knows a human when she sees one, and drops the thug with a well placed arrow. Unfortunately Meidrarel's acid flies wide of the mark.

Lybram drops his bow and moves to help Galant pulling out his axe as he goes. Providing a flank to his enemy

axe swing: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
dmg: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

"Well, if we hit fast enough maybe they can't mount a coordinated defense." "Is that the plan now?"

Galant moves to flank with Lybram and strike.

No mercy for tyranny!

Rapier: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 = 26
Damages: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Flaith will quickly attack herself.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 6 - 2 = 231d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 2 = 51d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Having caught his breath somewhat, Thordir rushes in to join the fracas. As soon as he catches sight of the enemy, he thrusts the blade of his glaive toward the man's shoulder.

Glaive, PA: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 Damage, PA: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

The last thug goes down hard, with a variety of sharp, and some perhaps not quite so sharp making an interesting mess of what used to be their body.

The building looks like any other bar except for the dozen or so men and women who lie on cots at the southern end, manacled to weights.

Galant searches on the bodies some key to free the captives.

Indeed one of the thugs has a set of keys on him. They each also have two small bottles and a tanglefoot bag, aside from their weapons and armour and spare manacles.

Fillia takes the keys and spare manacles.

Seeing Fillia taking the keys, Galant says Free the slaves!

Then he asks them Do you know where their boss is?

"Wow! He's like a magic missile from a wizard's wand. He won't stop until he kills."
Lybram Looks over the slaves for signs of wounds or other health issues.
healing check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

He also looks for any one he knows, Zig in particular.

The slaves are tired and wary of you. They shrug at Galant's question.

The slaves are in poor condition, although Galant at the least has seen far worse. These have had little food, water, fresh air or exercise. But on the plus side, they have not been worked to death yet either.

Zig is not here. Lybram does spot a goblin out in the darkness watching you though. Realising it has been seen it approaches. Likely it is one of those you met earlier, but really.... don't most goblins look alike?

"We free these, you get boss" he offers. Or maybe it is a she... really, its pretty hard to tell.

"Sure. Like go ahead." Fillia nods as she passes over the keys that lead to unlocking these slaves. The rest if any left, she keeps.

"Great, where to next?" Thordir asks, ready to carry on with the mission so he can finally get back to bed.

There is the nearby building that the other "helper" came out of to assist the poor guard you viciously attacked in an unprovoked assault upon the law abiding people of Katapesh....

Or, as Galant might view it, evil slaver who has been oppressing the poor and wretched and he hopes to have see their comeuppance in this life as well as the next.

Really, the morals of the situation are a matter of perspective. However the building is pretty clear.
Big red arrow provided for the door the person came out.

Lets take down an Evil Slaver(tm)!

Says Galant who moves towards his next target.

"Sure, let's do it," Thordir says as he plods along sleepily. As he follows the emancipator to the other building, he muses quietly, "You know, Galant, all this sound and fury about slavery isn't totally unprecedented, historically speaking. There have been plenty of slave revolts and abolitionist movements through Golarion's history. Really makes you wonder if striking down a handful of thugs who are dealing slaves in some back corner of a country where slavery is actually legal will make that big of a difference in the long run. Anyway, I'm not saying I'm in favor of people being enslaved... I'm just saying, maybe think about seeing what Cayden thinks about killing law abiding citizens?"

The barbarian stretches with a yawn and stands ready behind the cleric, poised to breach the next building and continue the search for Zig... and for justice!

He'll drink to that for sure!

Says Galant

Meirdrarel follows as he casts another Mage Armor from his scroll at himself.

"We still are missing Zig. I hope he is in this next building. This is where we saw the other guard emerge from." "Is everyone ready?" "Where are Fillia and Flaith?"

Lybram, after giving water and a few pieces of tack away, heads after Galant and Thordir.

Fillia has already kept herself hidden as best as possible.
Flighty as she is, she knows well when a hunt is in progress.

Stealth 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

This portion of the pub contains many sleeping cots, making it into an impromptu resting area. Several tables are covered in notes and papers, and several sacks of coins lie scattered about the area.

Of course, it is not empty. Three people are looking toward the door, and one you recognise.. Vinius Boor, the other helper from the party earlier in the evening.

The other two appear to be half giants or something, they are Large.

Flaith moves forward and attacks the yellow sashed large person.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 221d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

"Not giants but good enlarge spells. We are going to need help."

He starts a summoning spell.

Sorry for the early post. Will be attending a seminar over the weekend so I might not post for a few days.

Flaith enters the room, but takes a bit of a slash from the giants weapon as she approaches
AOO: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Well, at the very least her armor has a new dent in it. Matches the hole in the giant, he doesn't look happy at all.

No worries Meidrarel, good idea to post in advance - keeps things moving. .

Actually I think I dodged the slash completly ;-) touch is 13

Nahh, he has +3 or better with that scimitar. Definitely a dent. Though to be fair, it would likely be in the shield. You all have such good AC, I've hardly hurt anyone this game at all.

Galant moves, calling for his god to avoid any difficult terrain. free action: agile feet then attacks the farthest slaver. Blue

For Liberty and Freedom! ... and Beer

Rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Damages: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Galant closes and stabs the second giant, who appears shocked, surprised and significantly hurt. Still, he stays on his feet. Just.

As he closes however that giant also tries to slash at him. The brave priest loses a lock of his hair, but escapes significant damage.
AOO: 1d20 ⇒ 16
two attacks, flanking: 2d20 ⇒ (11, 4) = 15

They both try to double team Galant, but without success.

Meirdrael starts a spell.

Lybram moves into the room and over to yellow axe at the ready.
axe chop: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
dmg: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

"For Zig... Vinius, your treachery is shameful." "How can you live with yourself blaming an innocent goblin for your crime?"

If yellow goes down, Flaith will charge blue.
"Those that stand before the rightous shall fall!"
Charge: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 241d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

As Lybram closes, the giant slashes at him, downing the priest with a single blow. Flaith however finishes him off quickly.

aoo: 1d20 ⇒ 19
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
crit: 1d20 ⇒ 20
bonus damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Vineas sighs. "It's going to be like that is it?"

She backs away from the battle, using the tough for cover

Based on map..
Stealth 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Fillia leaves the confusion of melee to her better equipped companions as she moves forward and aims for the other door...

Concentration DC15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Galant concentrates and stabilize his comrade before following Vineas.

Take care of this one!

He moves provoking from blue, AC23 if my shield of faith is still active towards the door. using another charge of my agile feet ability

@Filla, remember, if you are stealthing then it is half speed unless you have some other special ability.
Galant takes a gallant risk, saving his companion, before taking another one... that pays off as he skirts the giant.

AOO: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Would someone like to suggest an action for Thordir and roll. Safe to say that blue has already had an AOO so unless he has combat reflexes, closing with him should be relatively safe

Playing Thordir

Thordir moves and prefer to save his rage for later and strikes the giant man from afar with his glaive.

Glaive (power attack): 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 6 - 1 = 20
Damages: 1d10 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 3 = 17

The giant falls like a great oak, hewn with a single stroke.

stuff: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
