GM Worg's Tears at Bitter Manor (Inactive)

Game Master Kyle "Worg" H

Kasumi pops her lefty wand into her hand and gives herself a few casual baps.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"A Good Idea Father, do you wish me to look a head? Maybe someone who can turn Invisible?" Fen asks the group

Kasumi pulls out a scroll. ”If we need invisibility, that’s an option,” she says.

Mivvy searches around, but does not find anything of note or detail.

What is everyone else going to do when approaching? Which side?

Let's not spread out too much. If someone wants to about ahead make sure they can get back to us. North door, I think, start at an end to reduce the chance we get surrounded.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

Never Split the Party

Prakriti partakes in the healing party as well.

Using her CLW wand on herself.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Keene agrees with the north door.

"One thing I've noticed since I started moving with the Pathfinder Society? You guys have an excellent sense of direction. I had no idea that was north until Conflict pointed it out."

Mivvy holds up her Wayfinder and waggles it in Kasumi’s direction, ”These things are really having a moment...”

"Is that what those are for! I just thought they were trophies for when those Aspis folks murdered us. I had no idea they opened!"

Fen pulls out a Scroll reading the magic upon it as the letter burns away leaving the same words 4 more times. Find Traps Fen looks the Northern door over.

Find Traps: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 1 = 18

I have a friend who is a cartographer, he hates when north is not North on a map

It was the best way to make it fit ><

Going up to the northern door, you find that it is locked. Peering into cracked windows, you see a ballroom that looks far nicer inside than the outside of the house appears.

I believe Kasumi has Disable Device.

Kasumi, as if nudged forward by an unseen force, observes the door. After giving literally everyone else the chance to Perception at it, she pulls out a small roll of tools, finding the one that feels best in her vulpine digits before getting cozy with the lock, humming to herself.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

If that doesn't work, anything to stop her from trying again/taking 20?

Kasumi takes quite a bit of effort, but eventually manages to get the door open. Discretion was given up after a point to manage to just get the blasted thing unlocked.

What was once a cloakroom is now a boarded fortress. Planks of wood reinforce the pocked walls, though the old wood and its soiled paper covering are perforated with a few small holes here and there. The wooden door in the north wall is similarly reinforced, though it looks as if it might still slide. On the west wall, metal hooks once meant to hold a visitor’s outerwear have been filed down to threatening barbs. The rest of the room was likely once the opening to a lush ballroom, though it’s difficult to make out any details other than the warped hardwood floor and the heavy chandeliers above.

Kasumi tugs on her sleeves again to dress appropriately for the ballroom. "Lady Myvanwie, if you would?" she asks, picking up her arms to be escorted onto the dance floor.

Urzaia examines the room.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

Looks like a choke point. Keep your eyes open.

Mivvy smiles, "A traditional reel seems to suit: a sword dance."

She brandishes her rapier, lights up her wayfinder and enters the room.
perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Mivvy, are you copying me?

Keene follows the group, keeping an eye out for anything out of sorts.

Urzaia checks the southern door,

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25

and checks with his Ultimates to make sure they're ready to move forward.

Gm, I think you gave us flavor text for the wrong room.

It seems that way, but according to the book, this is what we got for the immediate entry area to the house.

Dead plants wilt in moldered pots in the corners, and moth-eaten cloth chairs dot the north and south walls. Overhead, two dusty, lead-crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling.

@Urzaia You slow your steps when you realizes that the chandeliers overhead are swaying as if something had moved from it.

Maybe by cloakroom, they more mean that there is a kind of parlour where guests remove their coats and whatnot but which is open to the 'rest of the room' which is a 'lush ballroom'?

Mivvy sees Urzaia freeze and does the same, raising a questioning eyebrow, "Good Father?"

Fen takes up the rear, keeping his eyes peeled for anything to come at them from behind. Slowly closing the door Fen bumps into who ever is a head of him. "What is the matter?" Fen Whispers.

Perception Listening since I cannot see a head: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25
+1 if I can "listen" for traps :)

Urzaia begins praying in Orcish.

Concentration, Weapon of Awe, DC 19: 1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 3 = 12

Concentration, Weapon of Awe, Folio reroll (2 stars), DC 19: 1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 3 = 23

As his weapon begins to glow Urzaia tells the group, Someone is in here with us.

”But of course! We simply must have an audience,” grins Kasumi, who really ought to be prepping a buff spell or something.

”I prefer to know who is watching before the drama begins but...”

Mivvy begins to recite a famously stirring speech from an old Taldan play. The original is quite serious but her delivery subverts this and plays parts for a laugh.

perform oratory: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Beginning Inspire Courage, +1 to hit and damage.

Cacodaemons. You remember these monsters well; silver is the best weapon to hurt them with if your weapon is not good aligned.

Good news; not a single one of you got affected by their spells. Surprise round wasted.

Fen pulls out an oil and applies it to his Whip

The cacodaemons failed their spells, and thus move to assault the party. Suddenly, a bolt flies out from nowhere and pierces the wall next to Urzaia!

Mivvy: 4 damage and Fort Save DC12.
Keene: 5 Damage and Fort Save DC12.

damage: 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

That’s with standard +1 rapier.

We really need to slap Answering on that rapier. +5 bypasses alignment DR.

Kasumi, trying to conserve spells until a plan occurs to her, throws her usual wisp of light at the cacodaemon in the cool red pants.

Daze DC18!

Fort 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Keene takes a swing at the red enemy.

Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Damage 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 = 8

The Cacodaemon in the red pants seems to resist the effects of Kasumi's magic. Mivvy slices the blue sweater cacodaemon in the face!

The green hat Cacodaemon flies up to assault Urzaia, to which it fails to connect against the heavily armored and currently armed orc.

Fen back steps a bit, bringing his Whip to bear down on the Deamon attacking Rondolpho.

Whip-Good Aligned: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 141d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Worg: if that parry succeeded then I assume no damage and no save?

Attack, Clarity, Power Attack, Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 - 2 + 1 = 18

Damage, Power Attack. Inspire Courage, Vital Strike, Weapon of Awe: 1d6 + 8 + 6 + 1 + 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 6 + 1 + (4, 5) + 2 = 27

Urzaia slices at the demon and shifts closer to the rest of the party.

These guys again. I guess we're in the right spot.

@Mivvy:Correct. I need to fix that.

Mivvy keeps talking as she drops her sword, draws her silver blade and strikes.
maintaining Inspire Courage

attack with IC and PS: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 1 - 2 = 15
damage: 1d6 + 5 + 4 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 4 + 1 + 4 = 20

GM, if the hit lands Urzaia will use Faerie Strike. DC 16 or bit lit by Faerie Fire.

Paizo ate my post.

Urzaia slays the green Cacodaemon, but Fen and Mivvy miss their swipes! The cacodaemons begin their assault again, managing to bite onto Mivvy and Keene. Suddenly, Fen feels a very sharp pain shoot up his arm as a bolt launches into him! A loud thud can be heard from the wall.
@Mivvy 4 Damage and DC12 Fort (Or parry)
@Keene 3 Damage and DC12 Fort
@Fen 27 Damage!
Orange Circle marks where you heard the thud.

Attack with IC 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Damage 2d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 6) + 4 + 1 = 14

Urzaia approaches the source of the sound, but pauses to assist Mivvy.
