GM Weenerton Outpost Treason's Chains - A (Inactive)

Game Master OG3

"Ok, ok I will go first!" Edwin just smiles and takes out his sword.

Then he opens the door and enters the room.

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Description was laid out. But they'll react now that y'all have made an affirmative move to the room.

Hey hey hey. Braced for it? The guards wait for your response.

Edwin detects evil. If there are evil he will attack

With Edwin detecting evil Mathos will detect chaos

The Prince of Darkness detest chaos. Mathos grasps his book, ready at a moment to flip it open to cast a spell or beat someone with it.

From the current place you can detect chaos only in Zeta, though she will try to escape your detecting... as a precaution ;)

- We're always ready for something like this. You all better run... now!

She tilts her head, looking in the doorway from under her brows and begins to giggle ominously.

Cackle hex. It's SU, so no spellcraft. Maybe I'm just a bit crazy?

Vandelaria moves up to get a glimpse of the commotion, her dragon pistol in her hand.

The guards raise weapons when the expected password is not delivered.

Vandelaria
Edwin
Jikma
Shayna
Zeta
Pike toughs
Mathos

Bold are up!

I didnt move my token before combat...so would it be ok to assume i would be with in 30 to get in close to the guy i moved beside? if not, no prob...will move there anyway and do a parry/riposte

Shayna surges forward and slashes at the closest thug. She then readies to fend off any retaliatory strike.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 231d8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 3 = 11

edit...crit on the parry

crit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 242d8 + 8 ⇒ (1, 3) + 8 = 12

Jikma's tongue didn't quite reach her brain for her to say "Break Through" in time before the guards raise their weapons

She lifts her hands, palms open, "Break Through, Break Through. Calm down every one."

I'll forgo my turn if they already decided to attack.

Edwin charge the enemy in the middle of the room.

longsword- charge: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 2 = 26

damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

confirm crit.: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 = 9

damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Zeta looks cruel at one of the guys and continue her evil laugh.

5ft step; Pink: Misfortune (DC14) and Cackle hexes; description in my profile, if needed.

Cruel Hex: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5 of nonlethal damage to pink

Vandelaria, looking for your action now that we've resolved motivations.

Vandelaria moves in a blasts one of the guards with her loaded pistol, sending a cone of shot into the room.

vs purple with scatter, point-blank, firing into melee
Dragon Pistol (touch): 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 2 + 1 - 4 = 19 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

The majority of the party swings into action immediately, trusting their instincts that these are not good men and launch into attack.

What nonsense is this? You barge in with steel drawn and then utter the password? What treachery is this? Boys, knock em out and put em in the cages. Phlegos will sort em out. The guards close on you and yours.

will pink: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

The 2 further guards arrange around Edwin who has left himself somewhat exposed.

blue sap, flanking: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

yellow sap, flanking: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
damage, NL: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

The closer guard is overwhelmed with being shot and laughed at but attempts a sap strike, nontheless.

pink sap: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
pink sap, misfortune: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
The fates seem to pull his strike wide, leaving him open to a full on attack by the Pathfinders.

Mathos

Party is up.

Pathfinders are always getting me into trouble.

Mathos moves up and swings his book at the Pink enemy. Don't you know who I am?

Iron Bound Tome: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Nirion step to the left and strikes Yellow again.

longsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

According to the map, it looks like Mathos beats our goblin friend; I hope he's not ;)

- Boys, ahahah! You are so ... pathetic!

5ft step; Blue & Pink: Misfortune (DC14 Blue) and Cackle hexes

Cruel Hex: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5 of nonlethal damage to blue

Haha, I missed, and will profusely apologize. Pink tough and pink goblin friend are confusing to me. I am not a smart man.

Vandelaria steps forward, reloads her pistol with an alchemical cartridge (move action) and fires at blue.

Dragon Pistol (touch): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 1 = 16 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

did the one i was attacking not get hit by my parry/riposte? just checking before posting action

In fact yes, Shayna. I apologize that will move things slightly. Mathos I moved you to a favorable position feel free to retake your turn. Shayna go ahead and give your attention to the others if you like.

Jikma will spend her time trying to move into position, drawing her rapier as she does so. She takes careful leaps to attempt to avoid the guard's swings.

Acrobatics against Blue's CMD: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Delaying Shayna so we can move along a little bit.

Mathos wades into the battle. Edwin lands a devastating slash on one of the guards. Zeta continues to harry their mind and wills. Jikma moves into position and Vandelaria lands a shot on one of the enemies.

will, blue: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9

The guards each turn to the pathfinder beside them and swing their saps:

sap, yellow on Edwin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

sap, blue on Jikma: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
sap, blue on Jikma, misfortune: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
The weird spirits Zeta has inflicted on the thug turn the sap at the last moment.

Mathos

Party is up again. Shayna please make your previous round's turn.

Mathos moves slightly to get a clearer shot and throws his large book at the Blue enemy.

Hand of the Acolyte: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

argh..didnt show updates...stupid site..

previous round action. Shayna rushes over to trap the one tough between her and Edwin.

attack: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 = 141d8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 3 = 12

[ooc]asuming that doesnt hit...lol

Shayna presses her attack, trying to end the fight as quickly as possible.

attack: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 2 = 271d8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 3 = 12

Shayna cuts deep into the thug and he falls unconscious.

- Gentlemen don't behave like that, ahahaha! - she says with a laugh, looking at the falling bandits. cackle

"That was quick!"

One enemy standing, folks. Blue Pike Thug.

Where did the 6 non lethal on me come from?

Jikma says, "I'm sorry, it didn't have to be this way." And then she attempts to skewer his kidneys.

mwk rapier: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Ah, that was a sap strike that ended up not landing with the misfortune. Please ignore.

Edwin step closer to blue enemy and hits.

longsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

"Perhaps you should consider standing down. You are badly outnumbered."

Intimidate to demoralize

Intimidate: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Cackle till the end of the battle (which gonna be soon I suppose).

The remaining thug steps back a bit and takes another shot at Edwin. Reinforcements are on the way! You best leave now.

sap vs Edwin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
sap vs Edwin, confirm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Edwin tries to return favor.

longsword-flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 = 27

damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

confirm crit: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 = 9

damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Jikma squeaks and attempts to jab her rapier into the man's back.

mwk rapier, flank: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 2 = 27
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

confirmation: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

GM Weenerton, blue is still under the effect of misfortune. As I see, blue thug didn't hit Edwin.

Jikma and Edwin make short work of the remaining guard. The cells along the walls are all empty. There is one door remaining. Inside, in the eastern corner of this room, a large desk is covered with papers and ledgers. A hammock hangs loose behind the desk.

Standing at the desk is an elderly Varisian man. Presumably Tistin Snive.

You are trespassing on Pathfinder property. Apsis? Who do yo work for? You have already committed murder, do not get yourselves in any deeper. Tistin stands resolute at his desk.

- Oh no. We're from the Society, like you. We both know your master does dirty stuff. Such a man should not stand at the head of our Lodge in this city. We already have some evidence. And you right now have a chance to escape from the sinking ship of villains on the mighty frigate of good guys.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

"Yup," says Vandelaria while reloading her pistol. "You might as well just save us the trouble and hand over his ledger of accounts. The real ones... All of them."

After a moment of thought she adds "Please" and smiling friendly to reduce the degree of aggression.

Like the lady said... Shayna says as she puts her weapon away....please...

aid diplo: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

"Yeah!"

diplomacy aid: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Holy smokes these rolls!!

Tistin pulls himself up and raises a finger at the Pathfinders but pauses suddenly. It looked like he was about to deliver a full-on rebuke but your words have shattered him. In his memory, he is flooded with images of torture and suffering.

What do you know? These were necessary steps... He falters again. Thi, this.. is not right. He finally concedes to himself.

He waves a hand over his desk and an aura dissipates. He produces materials from his desk. Take these. I am ashamed for having been a party to it.

Back at the party house...

You enter to rather still room. No music plays, and instead of idle chatter, the air is filled with dread and whispers. A smattering of broken bottles and glasses lie in pools of golden liquid just a few feet away from three figures lying on the floor: those of the bard siblings, Kaba, Kora, and Kitt.

Mathos shoulders his way to the desk, takes a seat and begins to scan the documents.

Liguistics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Hmm, I can see here that mercenaries were hired and others used to undermine Wulessa Yuul

"What in Bharnarol's name happened here? We need in a healer in here! Post haste!"

heal untrained on Koba: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14

heal untrained on Kora: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

heal untrained on Kitt: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

A Pathfinder or two had quickly attended to the afflicted bards and interceded in time, they are on the road to recovery.

A lady near you in a thick leather coat with a hefty bag of clanging materials approaches and explains, I was able to administer the appropriate extracts to stall the poison. They will be fine. Luckily we have captured the poisoner.

The crowd parts as several Pathfinders drag away Zig the goblin. The young goblin is sobbing hysterically and screaming over and over again “Not me, not me, not me!” His cries appear to fall on deaf ears, however, and as his pleading eyes sweep the room, he is taken away.

Feel free to respond to the previous. There is some RP value here. I will post the next phase to move us along a bit.

After the spectacle, Roderus approaches you inconspicuously. Not the ending to a party I was hoping for. A shame, I had put my trust in Zig.... Were you able to secure the items I was looking for?

...

Dougle taps his foot impatiently as you slowly make your way to the main area. Took a little longer than I would have liked but here we are. Get to mopping up this mess and you can take the room upstairs for the night. But not until you make this place spotless.

You'll settle in for the evening after that. Please describe any end-of-day spellcasting, watch cycles, sleeping arrangements, and any other ritual or prep you tend to do for your character's evening.

Mathos does his best to avoid working, but after one or two stiff words he gets in and helps, all be it grumbling the whole time. Once the work is done he retires to study The Asmodean Monograph. He is all together unimpressed with the shared sleeping quarters and grumbles about those also.
