GM Worg's Down the Blighted Path (Inactive)

Game Master Kyle "Worg" H

The black, oily wolf perks up, growling at his master's target before rushing forward with a bite!

bite: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 = 25
damage, b/p/s: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8

trip (bite): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 1 = 24

Doggoth and Malsuza shatter the bones of the blue and green skeleton, causing them to collapse into piles!

"Don't run away, we're just getting started!" Kipp moves so the skeleton can't get out of reach so easily and swings before going in with the teeth. 5' shift. Power attack. Flail damage: magic, blunt, ada. Bite damage: bludgeoning, piercing, slashing.

flail: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 2 + 1 = 27 flail damage: 1d10 + 5 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 6 + 1 = 14
bite: 1d20 + 3 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 - 2 + 1 = 7 bite damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 + 4 = 14

The flail connects solidly, but isn't too strong. The bite snaps loudly next to the skeleton.

Rorik 5 ft's up to the red skeleton and attacks
Silver heavy mace: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 1 = 221d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11
bite: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 + 1 = 111d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

BZZZZZZT WORGBOT ENGAGED: INITIATING KIPP

Kipp Crit: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 - 2 + 1 = 25
Kipp Crit Damage: 1d10 + 5 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 6 + 1 = 16

The Pathfinders crush and pummel the remaining skeleton! Kipp and Rorik bash it hard enough that bones clatter against walls and floors.

Gordy searches the dead bodies in the room to see if there are any survivors.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Heal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

"Hey guys, I see a bag here. Might be loot in it."

Malsoza oozes up to the party, a thin trickle of violet following her behind. She flails her limbs and gestures towards her wound.

Catching the hint, Sergei cautiously steps into the room and hands off her Cure Light Wounds wand off to the group.

Spending wand charges to heal. I'm sure at least one person will use it on her.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Archer would be able to use it for you, Malsoza

perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

"It is a magical bag."

Posting may slow down a bit for study time for Gen Con. I will make sure to do at least 1 post a day if possible.

The party returns to the northern way, as south only leads to exit the Redoubt.

The options are to scout any of the rooms in the immediate vicinity, go back towards the haunt and explore upstairs, or head down the western hallway.

Where to, Pathfinders?

"I'll send the Cap'n down the hall to look ahead for us again."

Gordy summons his sea snake again and sends it slithering down the hallway along the wall.

Stealth: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (2) + 23 = 25
Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

The Cap'n will sneak as far as he can, coming back if he sees anything scary looking.

Cap'n sees a few doors down the hallway, but nothing of immediate danger.

Gordy whispers to the snake before letting it crawl back into his ear.

"Nothing but more doors down there, which the Cap'n can't open, not having hands and what not."

"I pick this one." Kipp says as he walks over to the nearest door... and readies his flail to knock the door down.

This pentagonal room is decorated with comfortable chairs and sofas around a fireplace. A small bust of Delbera Axebringer sits in the northernmost corner.

A thorough search of the room reveals little else of detail. The bust may be worth something, but you believe no dwarf in Davaran would buy it, nor do you wish to carry it everywhere anyways.

Rorik will heal himself.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 91d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

"Does someone else want to lead or should I just keep knocking down doors?"

"Onward!" Kipp yells as he knocks open the next set of doors.

Kipp takes the lead!

Kipp opens the doors to find a dining hall. A large, stone dining table bedecked with a feast of wax fruit and fake roast meats lies in the center of this room.

You see two Duergars relaxing in some of the chairs, then they both look up and realize that you are staring right at them.

Round 1: FIGHT!

Red Duergar(-0,Fine)

Talk about terrible rolls. They both go dead last. Possible emphasis on dead. Go nuts!

"We got live ones!" Kipp yells as he moves in and swings his mighty flail. power attack. damage: ada, magic, blunt.

heavy flail: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 damage: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Gordy chases after Kipp as he bursts into the next room.

"Don't be leavin' us behind, Kipp," he shouts before seeing the two duergar in the doorway. Reflexively, forms a ball of water in his hand and tosses it at the duergar not being engaged by the Kitsune.

Kinetic Blast: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Blunt, magic, Elemental overflow: 3d6 + 10 ⇒ (6, 5, 2) + 10 = 23

"Live ones? Oh, must be duergar again, not undead." mumbles Archer, as he steps up and shoots blue, twice. Target to change to red, if blue goes down. Blue probably doesn't have cover.

+1 bow, PBS, RS, DA: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 22 CI arrow, PBS, DA: 1d8 + 6 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 + 4 = 19
+1 bow, PBS, RS, DA: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 26 CI arrow, PBS, DA: 1d8 + 6 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 + 4 = 12

Kipp's weapon flies wide and misses the Duergar, but Archer manages to land two arrows into fatal blows against his target!

Gordy slams the kinetic water into the opposite duergar hard, but it still stands Or sits, rather.

Hearing the sounds of combat, Malsuza surges forward. The ooze deftly slithers between the legs of her allies, turning the corner and catching sight of the remaining dwarf. She darts forward, compressing herself into a flatter shape as she slips under the table without breaking stride. From there, she takes a swing at her target!

morphic weapon, power attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
damage, bashing: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

I have no idea how attacking from under the table affects accuracy, cover, or whatever.

Rorik moves into the doorway while drawing his long spear then stabbing at the duergar.
long spear: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 2 = 51d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Malsuza smashes the duergard across the jaw, and he drops like a brick!

Combat over.

Getting an evaluation, it appears these two were just loafers who were trying to sneak a break from their boss. One of them carries an interesting trophy; an elven-made mithral buckler.

Where to next, Pathfinders?

"Let's keep movin' lads."

Gordy goes up to the next door and presses his ear to the door, listening for any noises beyond.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

He'll open it when other people have a chance to move into position.

This small clinic was used to patch up soldiers injured in training exercises as well as to give drunken guests a space where they could recuperate away from the grand hall.

A very dusty wand sits on the table. Upon inspection, it appears to still be functional.

A door resides on the northern wall.

Kipp moves up behind Gordy spinning his flail in anticipation, but after a glare, probably from Gordy or Archer, stops the spinning.

Kipp walks over to the wand and, after casting detect magic, takes a look.

spellcraft take 10: 10 + 9 = 19

After looking it over he says "It's a feel better stick."

DM beat me to it while I was posting the last time

spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
"Great." says Archer. "If no one else minds, I could make use of that buckler. Can't use it for defense while shooting, but it won't hurt my shots, either. 'Tis a bit pretty for what I usually would go for, but it is light.

"Then, let's keep going. Others are bound to be around."

"Watch where ye be swingin' that thing," Gordy grumbles at Kipp as his flails swings a little to close to his head for comfort. "You know damned well that ain't no toy."

I'm thinking we should open up the door in this room.

Gordy inspects the door on the other side of the room.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

Gordy checks, but finds nothing of danger on the door.

A room full of props that hang from walls is what greets the party here. Several scripts are in here, titled The Fall of Karexin, The
Wedding of Riellal, and Dawn Shines on the Legion.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
"What do we have here?" Rorik says as he grabs a hat hanging on the wall, pausing before turnig back to the wall he runs his paw along a thin line on the wall."These dwarves sure do love secret doors."
hat spellcraft dc 16

"Hat, hat, hat. What is the hat?" Kipp mutters looking over the hat with detect magic.

spellcraft take 10: 10 + 9 = 19

"Oooooooh," Kipp exclaims as he grabs the hat and runs over to Malsuza and drops it on her blobbyness and waits for a bit before saying "it's not working, why isn't it working? Disguise hat, disguise!"

Malsuza wiggles and wobbles underneath the hat. It seems to have absolutely no effect on her whatsoever.

The blob extends a spike-tipped pseudopod and attempts to etch a reply into the floor, but to no avail. Her weapon is no match for the hard stone floor.

The party takes the hidden passage, and travels up until they see a large theater. Faded blue curtains line the stage on the southeastern side of this theater. The benches, stage, and framing have all been carved from the living stone. A yellowed playbill still hangs from the doors, promising “A night of excitement, friendship, and sacrifice in Dawn Shines on the Legion.”

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

"Ooh, ooh, ooh! Let's go again! Let's go again!..." Kipp yells as he rushes to the front row and takes a seat.

Kipp decides to go antagonize the haunt before anyone else reacts.

"Errr no, it be more restless spirits!"

Gordy makes several esoteric gestures with his hands, then flees from the room before the incorporeal creatures have an opportunity to steal his soul.

"No!" yells Archer. 'Why was I teamed up with these people?'

Because 'Archer' has common sense.

will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Kipp rises his hands to start clapping, but seems to suddenly change his mind and grabs his flail, stands up, and looks at the party. Kipp then walks up to the nearest creature, which is Rorik because Gordy left the room, and goes in with the teeth. Assuming that Kipp targets the nearest creature not including himself. Fallowing what I need to do, looks like I need to attack even if it would take more than one round to get to a target.

bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

With the 19-20 crit for the flail, I'm glad I went for the bite.

percentiles: 1d100 ⇒ 27

Round 1: FIGHT!
Light Condition: Dim Light
Active Buffs: Rorik: Defending Bone |

Archer(-6,Fine)
Gordy Grimes(-4,Fine, Burn: 2)
Kipp(-5,Fine)

Kipp appears to have gone mad with hallucinations! Restraining him may be the only way to restore order!

"Kipp's been possessed by the ghosts! We needs to restrain 'im until the spirits be leavin his body or it be spreadin' to the rest a' us!" Gordy shouts before spraying the floor underneath the kitsune with slippery sea foam.

Hopefully that'll slow him down a bit.

Grease, DC 16

There's a door between Gordy and Kipp, but I'm assuming that it'd the one that Gordy retreated through. He can spend a move action opening it if he needs to.

Time to turn back zee clock

And of course Kipp passes this save.

Oh got a reflex as well, how will it go?

reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Like a tin-can falling over.

Archer shakes his head, not wanting to let the arrows fly against his team mate.

Delay

Rorik draws his practice great axe
" I'm disappointed in you Kipp."
