[PFS]Season 4: Year of the Risen Rune (Cwethan section) (Inactive)

Game Master Cwethan

From the darkness behind the porcupines a voice tinged with madness and mirth echoes around the cave, "Oh fie, oh poor foes, are they running away?
Don't they know that just makes me more sure that they're prey?"

Thanks for the heals. Duncan is at 16/26 after with quills still stuck inside.

Marianna's response to the taunt is to drop into her defensive taunts, then drive her blade into the closest porcupine. That's quickly followed by a quick step back as she readies to repeat the process.

Swift action - Activate Sisterhood Style
Attack vs. Yellow
5-foot back

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28For: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Crit confirm?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26For: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Marianna's blade whips out, decapitating one of the zombies before she retreats to join her fellows.

However, as she withdraws, a creature, some dreadful merging of an emaciated woman with a porcupine appears from thin air, flinging poisoned quills with distressing accuracy!

Quill: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 16 + 2 = 34
Piercing: 1d3 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + (5, 5, 1) = 13

Declan casts Disrupt Undead at blue before retreating back off the bridge.

Disrupt Undead: RTouch
To Hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 To Hurt: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Leb steps back, and tries to help Duncan with the spikes

Sorry if that hurts a bit

dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Declan deadens one side of the advancing porcupine as they press forward, working in a concerning tandem to bring down the heavily armored Marianna!

Aid Another: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 6 - 4 = 15
Slam: 1d20 + 6 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 - 4 + 2 = 11

The grim warrior easily repels their attacks however, keeping steel and oak between their quills and her flesh.

Marianna -13 Illuminated DC 16 Fort or 2 Con Damage

Juis moves back toward the front lines to help Marianna out and swings his enchanted morningstar at the undead porcupine in front of him.

+1 Undead Bane Morningstar vs Red: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (4, 6) = 14

Move: 20'
Standard: Attack

Juis's morningstar isn't the most suitable weapon to hack apart zombies, but the baleful enchantment laid upon it means that the creature's flesh molders away with each swing!

Most black spaces are walls. Dark.

Marianna -13 Illuminated DC 16 Fort or 2 Con Damage

Bane gives you 2 more enhancement bonus to hit and damage aside from the 2d6 extra damage, so Juis hit even harder than stated!

Fort Save,DC 16: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Marianna winces at the poison begins to course through her veins. Still, she holds the line and drives her blade shakily at the one in front of Juis.

Attack vs. Red.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11For: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Continuing to prepare for the porcupine lady herself, Wilen pops another extract.

[standard] consume extract of shield

[move] draw light crossbow

Lebraerio continues to help Duncan with the quills

dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 4

The emaciated monster cackles, "Time ticks on beat by beat
From faltering arm to leaden feet!" Then all at once, she disappears!

Marianna -16 Illuminated 2 Con Damage, poisoned

Duncan works to pull out another of the quills trying desperately to do so without hurting himself too badly.

Dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 1

With 4 quills left, Duncan is at 10/26hp remaining.

Declan continues to target red.

Disrupt Undead: RTouch, fire into melee
To Hit: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 3 - 4 = 9 To Hurt: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Declan's ray goes awry, but luckily friendly fire isn't a concern, so none of his allies mind a brief blast of positivity!

Marianna's iron wall of defense continues to keep the porcupines at bay, but behind her shield and armor, her body continues to weaken!

Aid Another: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 6 - 4 = 12
Slam: 1d20 + 6 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 - 4 + 2 = 13

Looking to finish off the zombie porcupine in front of him, he swings too wide.

+1 Undead Bane Morningstar vs Red: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 4 + (4, 1) = 14

Everybody is too bunched together. I'll have to get the bomb behind these vermin...

[5' step] E
[standard] throw bomb at square behind red
bomb attack square, AC5 (mutagen'd): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 arg
Nat 1, definitely misses, and so it lands...: 1d8 ⇒ 7 => IN blue's square: red, blue, juis, and marianna take splash damage, sorry :(
Splash damage: 2 + 3 = 5
DC14 Reflex for half (2) splash damage

As soon as Wilen steps up to throw he stubs the big toe of his bare foot in the stone floor and the bomb comes flying out of his hand in an unintended direction, rather than being more deliberately thrown...

He holds his hand over his mouth in surprise and shame.

Sorry!

Reflexes: 1d20 ⇒ 141d20 ⇒ 3

Despite a spat of horrid luck, Wilen's pyrotechnics are still effective against the porcupines, leaving both of them standing, but in tatters

Most black spaces are walls. Dark.

Wilen - Shield
Lebraerio - Illuminated
Marianna -16 Illuminated 2 Con Damage, poisoned, DC 16 Fort or 3 Con Damage, DC 14 Ref to take 2 instead of 5 fire

Once again, Lebraerio removes a quill very carefully, trying to do as few damage as possible to Duncan, and pockets it

I may need these for furter examination. Their poison seems quite potent.

dmg to Duncan: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Juis takes the full blast from the bomb.

Reflex DC14: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Fort Save, DC 16(-2 Con): 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 - 1 = 14
Reflex Save, DC 14: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7

Between the poison and the fire, Marianna is on her last legs. "Cover me a moment, Juis," she whispers before slipping behind her ally. With a quick motion, she fishes a potion out and downs the concoction.

5-foot
Move action - draw out potion of CLW
Standard action - drink potion

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

The emaciated necromancer reappears, flinging quills at Juis, though thankfully his armor and the zombies themselves keep her from being able to find a weakpoint in his defenses!

Quill: 1d20 + 16 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 16 + 2 - 4 = 21
Damage: 1d3 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + (3, 1, 4) = 9
Quill: 1d20 + 16 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 16 - 4 = 16
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Snarling in frustration, she rushes away from the mouth of her cave, quickly vanishing into the gloom.

Disrupt Undead: RTouch, fire into melee

Duncan continues plucking quills, hoping for the best.

Dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 1

By my count, Duncan is down to 2 quills remaining and still has 8hp.

Duncan works one of the last quills out while Declan's rays continue to go wide, but as Marianna withdraws, the bristle of porcupines continues to operate with unnatural teamwork, driving a new set of quills deep into the oracle's body!

Aid: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 6 - 4 = 8
Slam: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 - 4 = 22

This is no place for my bombs, in this tight passageway. Let me try something different...

He fishes a wand out of his pack, aiming it in Duncan's direction. With his other hand he lets the crossbow hang at his side.

[move] draw wand of cure light wounds
[standard] use wand of cure light wounds
Cure Light Wounds on Duncan: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 woohoo!

Those of you with wounds, don't stray too far from me.

Fort Save, DC 16(-5Con): 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 - 2 = 12

Still fighting with the Poison, Marianna finally pulls out one of the vials that Ignizi gave the group. She quickly drinks it, hoping that it works as the gnome suggested.

Move Action - retrieve Potion of Neutralize Poison
Standard Action - Drink Potion

Neutralize Poison: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

"Wilen, tag me so I can get back in there. We need to end those zombies, and get to that porcupine woman fast, before she murders us all," she whispers to the halfing brewer.

You bet Marianna, give me a moment to prepare... Next turn it's you

Duncan draws out another quill, feeling a bit more out of danger now that Wilen's wand is at work. "almost ready to get back into it!" cries Duncan.

Quill dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 3

1 quill left and at 14hp. If Wilen can tap me again, I will be good to get back in the fray.

Wincing in pain from the slam attack and quills in him, he yells out in rage and slams the morningstar down at the one in front of him.

+1 Undead Bane Morninstar vs Red: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 6 - 4 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 4 + (6, 3) = 21

Marianna Con Damage pre-Neutralize: 1d3 ⇒ 1

A pair of quills fly out of the darkness at Juis as Marigana pokes her head around the wall again, but whether by fortune or plating, the oracle remains safe!

Quill: 1d20 + 16 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 16 - 4 = 13
Piercing: 1d3 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + (2, 4, 6) = 13
Quill: 1d20 + 16 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 16 - 4 = 15

Holy water flask throw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Dmg: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

Leb takes a flasks and sends it in the not quite dead porcupine... Unfortunatly, the results aren't as good as the bearded man expected.

Declan gets in position and fires at blue.

Disrupt Undead: RTouch
To Hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 To Hurt: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Declan's incantations continue to overshoot the dog-sized porcupines, and Lebraerio quickly finds himself the victim of what seems to be a vial of Holy Water long past its expiration date, though the zombie does instinctively recoil from it nonetheless.

After a moment though, the porcupine presses forward, ignoring the quilled oracle and the too heavily armored warrior, it assaults Lebraerio instead!

Slam: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 4 = 13
Bludgeoning: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Juis reaches down and pulls out a quill.

Quill damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Wilen reaches Marianna with his healing wand, as promised.

Cure Light Wounds, Mariana: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 Not as good as duncan's 9, but not horrible either.

He then backs away from the crowd.

[5' step] W

Who's next? Need more Marianna?

Lebraerio clumsily gets his short sword in hand, and tries to fend of the rotting porcupine

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

I could need a soldier'help here, if someone is healthy enough..

Marianna's response to Lebraerio is to go to skewer the remaining porcupine with her sword.

Attack vs. Blue
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21For: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

"Wilen, help Duncan or Juis for now, thank you."

The last of the porcupines falls to pieces; Marigan scowls in disappointment, and vanishes once more.

none are bold?

Fair point :-p
All should be bold!

Juis pulls out his wand and taps himself before he thinks about removing any more quills.

Wand of Cure Light Wounds on self: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Juis, if you want to back away from the front I'll touch you up!

As it stands he cannot get to Juis, so Wilen steps back up into the crowd to heal Marianna some more.

[5' step] east
Cure Light Wounds, Marianna: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Thanks to the Con Poison, I'm fully healed with that. ((Need to remember Lesser Resto Potions next))

Marianna nods to Wilen. "Okay, everyone, All that's left is the main adversary, and she's small and a ranged combatant. So, just surround and unload everything you have on her. Just watch it, because she likes to use poison."

Standard Action- Tactician. The party has access to Precise Strike for 4 rounds.

Declan casts Vanish and moves.

Duncan takes a moment to withdraw the last of the quills, wincing in pain as he does so. He than gathers back up his bow and is ready for action, if quite a bit worse for wear. He takes a position behind Mariana, where he can still have clear LOS for a bowshot.

quill dmg: 1d4 ⇒ 4

That should be the last of them. Could use another shot off the wand or two if you can...

Marigana finally gets the better of Juis's armor, and flings a pair of poisoned prickles into unfortunately exposed skin! The oracle collapses with a clatter of armor, and she then darts off into the gloom once more, but this time, thanks to Declan's hidden perspective, her location is quite clear...

Quill: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 16 + 2 = 32

Do we know what sort of creature Marianna is?
Knowledge (arcana/dungeon/local/planes/religion): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Declan invisibly moves to the other side of Morianna and

If she is sucseptible to Color Spray (DC 14)

If she isn't then move adjacent to her and attack.
Shortsword:
To Hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 To Hurt: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Marianna is a Chelish Human, Marigana on the other hand, you are uncertain.
