GM Worg's Down the Blighted Path (Inactive)

Game Master Kyle "Worg" H

Gerherd's readied action goes off.
Concentration DC17: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

His spell goes off, and suddenly a thick mist surrounds everyone on the starting isle.

Attack Roll vs Rorik: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 2 - 4 = 18
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
Crit Confirm vs Rorik: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 2 - 4 = 12
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

"Burn in hell, you b*@~! of Rovagug!"

To which, he still gets grappled.

Basic Hyrdrokinesis allows Gordy to create a mild current in a body of water that is strong enough to turn a water wheel as if pushed by a person with a STR score equal to his CON, which in Gordy's case is 20 (or 21, I don't remember).

Seeing that one of the competitors is struggling to keep his head above water, Gordy calls out to the water. A gentle tide pushes the drowning dwarf back to shore. Seeing him now safe from drowning, Gordy finishes swimming to the shore.

Take 10 Swim: 18 = 18

All spoilers in Sylvan

Kipp then pauses for a moment be for continuing

Kipp looks at the dwarves, then at his fellow pathfinders, and then down at himself

As the mist rolls over Kipp shouts "AHHH! I'm bind! Bad dwarf, bad!" Kipp then swings powerfully at the Gerherd. power attack on, not factoring grappled into attack.

Practice Flail: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 20% miss: 1d100 ⇒ 35 damage: 1d10 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Non-lethal bite: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 5 - 4 = 21 20% miss: 1d100 ⇒ 19 damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Kipp gives and overhead swing with the flail and follow through with the bite, unfortunately Gerherd got out of the way of the flail and Kipp didn't see him move.

Suddenly a gun shot interrupts everything, as one of the judges shoots a signal pistol to end the competition.

"The contest is ending now; while Targrenon may be on shore now, it is clear he isn't breathing. No winner will be declared at this time."

------------------------------------------

Later you are all at the market square. Most of you are celebrated for your clear efforts on the race, while others are only somewhat appreciated. It appears fans of the Chokers were not fond of the performance and are still bitter.

During the feast many Dwarves bring their own blankets or tables to dine and enjoy each others company. You all have seats at the same table as Mayor Bensik and Erna Stoneheart, the ranger you competed against. She is attending as a guard captain rather than a competitor.

"Well, unfortunately the contest had to end due to the incident with Targrenon. As your team has collected the most flags before it ended, you are officially declared the winner, and thus I present you with this." Mayor Bensik holds out a prize box that holds a very nice looking Pearl inside it. "What the mages of the town tell me is that this pearl can recharge your magical capabilities once a day, or something of that sort."
Acquired 1 Pearl of Power (1st)!

Lukher has declined to join your table at the feast, as he is currently working on meeting new business contacts in the crowd.

Feel free to interact with the denizens of Davarn as much as you want. The plot will progress this later today.

”That was an unfortunate turn of events. ” recaps Archer. ”There was no reason to risk his life for a game.”

The stoic war priest looks baffled by the turn of events. ”Did no one try and save him? It would have seemed much to fast to have died from drowning ”

Erna says grimly, "He is in care of the temple right now. It seems he took too much water right away, and is currently unconscious. The good news is he is stable."

”That is good. No one should sacrifice their life for a game. ” says Archer

”Mayor Bensik, is this the way the contest often goes?”

"The brawl usually happens. Something must have been wrong with Targrenon though." The mayor takes a drink. "Anything to say on that, captain?"

"No, I don't believe-"

Screams of terror rise from the picnic area near the market square’s far end. A dwarf dressed in a Davarn guard uniform runs up to your table and calls to Erna Stoneheart. “Captain, come quickly, they have Lukher!”

Erna Stoneheart follows the guard back into the crowd toward the screaming people, grabbing her axe. You see at the far end of the market square are skeletal undead.

The red and blue skeleton grab random citizens, one of them being Lukher. They are starting to drag these citizens back with them to who knows where.

Archer is up.

Red and Blue will delay next turn to make this initiative a bit better.

Just a few moments ago...

Fortitude: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Malsuza smiles as she takes a beat out of a hunk of bird. She lets out a soft sigh as she chews, murmuring "Soooo delicious." A wonderful break from rations.

As she does, she begins to sweat. Beads of violet drip from her forehead, her cheeks, down her neck, and along her arms. She looks down at them and swallows her mouthful of food with a nervous gulp.

But as soon as it starts, it stops. She sighs happily and wipes the ooze from her brow. Looks like her body's holding up for now!

Just had to see if she would spontaneously melt during the feast!

Gordy is a little disappointed with the contest finishing early as he was among the first people to make it out of the lake.

"Oy, it don't take long drown if you don't get a good gulp full a' air before ya go under. Poor landlubber shoulda' stayed on dry land."

Gordy uses his control of water to dry off his companions, making sure to provide additional care to Archer's precious bow, as he can see how much anxiety the man has over the wood and leather of its composite construction warping from the moisture. At feast he eats and drinks heartily, but keeps to himself mostly, on account of his natural shyness.

After dinner

"Skellies! Risen from the dead to claim their lost gold!"

Archer moves out from behind the table, drawing his bow. Seeing that innocents are at risk, he calls upon Erastil to protect the community, through his bow... fervor cast divine favor

Kn religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
He then shoots a single blunt arrow at yellow.
Arrow at yellow, DF, DA: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 11 - 2 + 3 = 32 Blunt arrow, magic, DF, DA: 1d8 + 5 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 4 + 3 = 13

The orange skeleton attempts to grab another citizen and take off with it, and the yellow skeleton rushes to meet Erna head on with its Urgrosh.

Yellow's Urgrosh glances off of Erna's weapon, and the Orange Skeleton grabs the commoner, beginning to drag it away.

Seeing that Archer didn't bring the first skeleton down with his arrow, Gordy darts forward until he has a clear line of to the creature.

Damn my stubby dwarf legs.

Gordy tries to pull the moisture he needs out of the air, but finds that its not enough. With a grunt of pain, he reaches into his own body to pull out the heat and water he needs. There is a loud crack and he leaves a puddle of water under his feet as he appears next to the skeleton, a block of solid water surrounding his fist.

Gordy swings with all his might at the undead creature.

Blade Rush: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 = 11
Blunt, Magic: 3d6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 2, 6) + 8 = 17

That's disappointing. Especially since I took burn to get there.

Took 1 point of burn to use Blade Rush. He will also have a -2 AC until his next turn, just like if he had charged.

During the feast
When Archer and everyone is talking about the dwarven rock nearly drowning "The end comes when it comes, no need to rush it. Just live for the moment." Kipp says, in a somewhat philosophical tone, before continuing in his usual cheerful manner "But if nearly drowning is your style, more power to ya!"

And now with our current story
knowledge religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

"Undead, why undead while I'm eating," Kipp says as he moves forward, drawing his flail as he goes (the real one, not the practice one) meanwhile muttering "I'm not even hungry for undead, never taste that good anyway."

double move

Erna dodges around the skeleton to get into flank with Gordy, and swings one her handaxes at the undead abomination.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Attack Roll: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 2 = 31
Handaxe Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Her attack hits firmly against the skeleton, but her axe does no damage! She looks around, considering a different weapon she could use.

Malsuza points towards her porter. "Sergei! Go fetch my dog!" After the strongman nods and runs off, she strides around the table and makes her way towards the undead, drawing her silvered heavy mace along the way.

Rorik quickly study's the skeletons
local: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Religion: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
"Are all these Dwarves easy to grab" Rorik yells as he runs around the table drawing his great axe.
do the skeletons have any special abbilities?

local: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

special defenses? Assuming DR bludgeoning Witz will move up, drawing his bow and fire a blunt arrow

Archer again calls upon the guiding aim of Erastil to improve his bow!
swift action, sacred weapon, to add shock. He then lets fly with a slew of arrows.
First against yellow, then red. Note that Red does not get PBS

+1 shock bow, PBS, DF, DA, RS: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 3 - 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 1 + 3 - 1 - 2 = 15 blunt arrows + shock, PBS, DF, DA: 1d8 + 5 + 3 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 3 + 2 + (1) = 19

The red dwarven skeleton shatters as Archer's shots decimate it from existence. The dwarven lady it was holding flees.

The blue skeleton throws Lukher into the wall on the opposite end from him, then goes back up to grab him again. The orange and yellow skeleton go to attack Erna and Malsuza, with yellow cleaving into Gordy!

Both Malsuza and Erna get hit firmly by the undead, but Gordy manages to avoid the attack!

8 damage to Erna and 12 damage to Malsuza, Slashing.

Erna shifts over to the skeleton attacking Malsuza and Gordy, and tries to get it into a flank with the Shifter.

Handaxe 1st Attack Roll: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 9

Damage 2nd Handaxe: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Gotta love terrible rolls on terrible dwarves.

Kipp walks towards the undead and hits it. Power Attack. Damage types: magic, adamantine, bludgeoning.

+1 Ada Heavy Flail: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 damage: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

...But he's clearly not into the fight quite yet.

Gordy actually has 2 burn right now. In order to get those elemental overflow juices going, Gordy starts off every day with a couple of hard boiled eggs and a piping hot cup of BURN.

Gordy reforms his water blade into an oversized hammer and attempts to crush the skeleton in front of him.

Kinetic Blade: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Blunt, magic: 3d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 4, 5) + 8 = 20

If that is enough to destroy that skeleton, he is going to move 20 feet closer to the next one.

Not quite destroyed yet but close.

Rorik continues running through the market.

Malsuza winces as the blade cuts right through her, meeting no resistance at all. The fresh wound leaks a violet slime. The oozemorph grits her teeth as she urges her body to shuft, coaxing a pair of blade-tipped tendrils to grow from her back.

She rears back with her mace, clutching the hilt with both hands as she swings for the fences!

silver mace, power attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
damage, blunt: 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Witz moves around the table and starts to work on blue.

blunt arrow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

damage: 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

The yellow skeleton goes down with a sickening crunch when Malsuza swings her mace against its rib cage.

No Focused Shot yet Witz?

I remember there being a conflict with other feats I'll be taking, may have to double check

Archer moves up, as there are too many folks in the way for a clear shot. He does take a shot at the blue skeleton, trying to save Lukher.

No cover with one ally
Bow, Electical, DA, DF vs grappling skelly: 1d20 + 11 - 1 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 1 + 3 = 15 blunt arrows, electrical: 1d8 + 6 + 2 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 + 3 + (3) = 15

Pathfinders are up!

"Go back to the Boneyard, we don't want any!" Kipp shouts as he brings the flail up before bring it down and lunging in with the teeth.

Power attack. flail damage: bludgeoning, magic, adamatine. bite damage: bludgeoning, piercing, slashing.
Flail: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 damage: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Bite: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14 damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

But his wild swings and bites don't seem very good at breaking more than the floor.

Emboldened by her takedown, Malsuza marches forward and swings again!

silver mace, power attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
damage: 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

phone posting, can someone slide me into melee?

Gordy pushes through Kipp and past the skeleton, rushing to aid the dwarf at the other end of the hall.

Double moving, and provoking an AoO from the orange skeleton.

As he reaches the far side of the market, Rorik tightens his hold on the axe as the blue skeleton is almost within reach

"You know, Pathfinders, this bow works better when you leave me lines of fire." scolds Archer, as he moves to get a better line on orange.
He'll keep up the sacred weapon

slashing adamantine magic damage: 1d12 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Using Lukher pathetic escape attemps as an oppertunity, he 5ft steps closer to the skeleton. using the pack attack feat

Rorik's weapon chips the skeleton, but appears to deal less damage than the destructive Kitsune could have hoped for.

Whoops, forgot to add my strength bonus from Knock-off Alter Self

With an ooze step, Malsuza shuffles to one side to put the skeleton in a pincer attack. She grins, readying her weapon. "Stay down this time!" She swings with her mace, following up with her bladed tendrils!

Gordy continues moving in the direction of the skeleton fighting Lukher. With a wiggle of his nose, Gordy concentrates and the walls and ceiling near the cony brigand are covered into slippery green sea slime.

"I'm a coming!

Slick functions like Grease, has a Reflex DC 16, and the effect ends at the beginning of Gordy's next turn.
