GM Dak - Shattered Star 1

Game Master Dakcenturi

Dang Sapher, how are you managing 2d8+6?

She rolled a nat 20, I think she was saying that was her crit damage if confirmed.

I expect that’s if she crits.

You are all so violent! You should be more like peaceful Mokhasi. That is because peaceful Mokhasi does not yet know explosion of rot.

Oh. I'm dumb. Ignore me.

Yep, that is the case, though it failed... unfortunately. Never seem to confirm on *3 weapons :(

explosion of rot!!! Whoa, it isn't violent just... instant composting

In another game I'm playing a dhampir inqisitor with a tetsubo. When I land a x4 crit with power attack it feels so good .

It's ok Sapher, look at it this way. Your 6 is 11 points higher than my -5! :) I think the party should feel completely safe with me shooting crossbow bolts behind them from now on.

That was spectacular, Esrisi. And very well described :)

*4 ! that is lovely.

It looks like the paths to get to the goblins are particularly thin. Would it be an acrobatics check to cross that? Perhaps moving at half speed?

Also how much longer is bless active? I think we would still have 5ish rounds, yeah?

Updated the original post. Drew some green lines on the tiles where you would need Acrobatics. 5 rounds of bless left sounds good.

I drew some red scribbles on the map, would it be possible to cross those squares? If so, how wide are they?

I also drew some pink circles on the map, could I jump between those two squares safely?

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to figure out my options since my stupid butt didn't buy any ranged weapons.

Red would be a no for walking, those are essentially just enough floor to hold up the walls. Pink I would say is complicated :P. If you wanted to do a running long jump I would say it is a DC 10 + 2 for slightly slopped + 5 for severely obstructed due to the crates, so DC 17.

Mhmm, perhaps if unarmored I would try my luck.

From what I understood there's no chance of shooting friendlies in Pathfinder, that was an old rule from 3.5

Oh...oh this needs to happen Drask...this needs to happen...

*maniacal grin*

Yep. Vel and I worked it out for flavor and roleplay purposes. I have no intention or inurying my teammates.

Once the adrenaline of the fight calms down I can't wait for the roleplaying.

Esrisi shot Vel, we're covered in sewage, and apparently Drask has some sort of magical powers.

I gave Vel the Bit of Luck buff instead of Drask.

I actually thought it would apply to Vel's next round due to the initiative order.

If things are ever flowing great and you desire to bot Sapher, no worries. I just got off work so first opportunity to post much of anything, but will do so shortly.

GM Dak, since total defense gives a +4 dodge bonus to AC I believe both of those attacks will miss.

Good call, don't know why but I was thinking AC bonus not dodge bonus :P Fixed.

Found the original reference image I wanted for Veltariel. Just gotta disregard the knicks and cuts (unless Esrisi has her crossbow).

And yes, her armor is like that. Because fantasy games and elves. Lol

Love the hair.

We need to make sure Natalya doesn't get away!

If I can get close enough, I can cast Command and order her to approach, but that will require some space in a crowded room. Or I can try to give Drask some more luck if he wants to try his hand at acrobatics across the narrow green part. Or a little of both (move into position + luck for Drask).

As a side note, @Caroliss your bit of luck actually requires a touch. We've been playing with it the other way for this combat so we will keep it consistent but moving forward you would actually need to be next to someone to use it :D

It's her Varisian Pilgrim archetype ability that allows her to use it on allies within 30 feet. It also allows her to create the mirror images for allies as if they were herself. I swear I've thought this through!

Also, the fact that Sapher didn't want to pray with me means I can't do the same stuff for her. :(

Unfortunately Drask can't threaten them at all since he opted for better armor instead of a ranged weapon.

Perhaps I can just yeet Sapher up into the rafters?

Ah ok! Thanks for the clarification. All the little things to remember :D

Guys. Guys. We can try to end this peacefully, right? Natalya doesn't need to die.

Dak - I had sent Caroliss the same question, she's on her A-game and prepared!

No I don't think we need to hurt her, I just think we need to murder all the goblins around her and then have a friendly chat about why she had so many goblins around her.

That sounds totally reasonable. Now if the elf would stop shooting the human? (Ironic, is it not?!)

Perhaps I could toss Vel face-first down into the sewage first. After all, we're here peacefully.

We are being attacked, with attempts to kill us, so shooting her is not an unreasonable reaction. It is not the one we want of course, but not unreasonable. :)

I whole-heartedly approve of Drask's plan!

I'm not saying it was an unreasonable reaction, makes complete sense to me. Esrisi thinks that she has been in the rafters for a few rounds now and hasn't attacked us yet and she'll want to defer to trying to talk her down first.

Also just as an FYI I tend to delay posting until after Caroliss has posted since she is ahead of me in initiative and often tosses out support abilities.

Drask is revoking Esrisi's crossbow privileges.

As he should, I love it! I think if Ez wants to use it in the future she will be required to take lessons first.

Do you think Veltariel will teach her?

Sure! Go stand over there and hold this apple in your mouth!

Hey! Mokhasi said you'd never hurt her. She trusts Mokhasi so maybe she'd do it?

(probably not)

Hah, Mokhasi has a wisdom of 10 so he may not be the most accurate judge of character.

Would grease on the rafter below her and the adjacent goblin be feasible? She’d take some damage if she fell, but it’s up to Dak if she’d fall to the ground or be prone on the rafter.

We can see if Natalya is compelled to obey Caroliss--if not, we can have Mokhasi give his slippery magics a go. Maybe save your spell as a ready action?

Aye, just have to have a place to stand. Up to Dak if I can hang out on the plank.

Going to an interagency coordination meeting at 1:30, so feel free to bot me and ready the action if I can hang out on the plank. Otherwise Mokhasi cannot reach her with the spell. I’ll use a reservoir point to boost the DC, so it’s DC 17 reflex.

Feast or famine over here for Ez on the rolls in this warehouse. I think the moral of the story is that she is should not be allowed to use weapons and only attack with her words. :)

I am pointing out Drask that had you not revoked her crossbow rights she would have hit with that 20!!!

And with her combat luck probably would have had the critical damage reflected to her or something similarly ironic.

How about the oracle with the "everything I hold is broken" curse accepts that she's awful with weapons? :P

Yep that sounds about right!

No weapons?! That sounds like an awful lot to swallow for her pride.

Maybe she'll take it under consideration if the situation is explained to her in the appropriate manner, but she'll want to be in the mix and contribute so that she doesn't feel left out!

Wouldn't Sapher get an AoO as well?

And Drask has his bite so he will be taking that attack. Sorry don't have time to write a combat post right now.

No Natalya beat her CMD with the Acrobatics.

Oh gotcha.

I'm confused why Vel fell into the muck.

Some rolls were made in Roll20
