[PFS2_Luke_Parry] 2-06: The Crashing Wave (Inactive)

Game Master Luke_Parry

2d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7, 1) + 4 + 2 = 14

Bair swings hard at the smaller guardian, then lightly clobbers Cyan.

4d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 1, 6, 6) + 7 = 21

Thorax carves open Red, causing it to disintegrate into shifting lines of magical code, then does the same thing to the smaller one, stabbing it through the stomach.

Deshacerla - BOT:

Deshacerla channels electricity again...

Electric Arc: 3d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3, 3) + 4 = 13 Electricity damage.

Reflex: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17.

...severely charring it.

It responds by attacking the wasp...

Scimitar: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35, for 2d6 + 20 ⇒ (4, 1) + 20 = 25 damage.
Scimitar: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17, for 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 damage.
Scimitar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9, for 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 damage.

...but only lands a single blow.

Defenders of Reality, Round 3/4:

Dran'Thor (-)
Smilodon (-12)
Adalan (-12)
Bair (-28)
Thorax (-)
Deshacerla (-)
DL (-63)

Party is up!

Still hovering, Adalan's summoned wasp switches its focus to the last remaining guardian.

Stinger: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 plus poison.

Stinger: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (1) + 12 - 5 = 8
Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 plus poison.

Meanwhile, Adalan himself directs a surge of lightning at the janni.

Electric Arc: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4, 1, 1) + 4 = 12 with a DC 25 basic Reflex save (and Spell Penetration).

Thorax once again steps under the wasp, seemingly perfectly at ease so close to the giant barbed stinger, and takes advantage of its distraction to shank the remaining ninja in its ankle.

Deception to Feint: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

+1 Striking Shifting Dogslicer : 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25 (vs flat-footed?)
Magic, Slashing: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 5) + 6 = 12
Sneak, Backstabber?: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 5) + 1 = 12

Goblin Weapon Frenzy: If that Crits it is flat-footed until the start of my next turn.

The wasp's first sting causes the Djinn to disintegrate into lines of runic code.

Combat over.

At this point in time, Eliza carefully collects a small sample of the runes.

"Alright. I have what I need from this area. We should move on..."

Upon stepping through the portal...

The seemingly natural pathway of this stretch of the maze is suddenly filled with gleaming, razor-edged objects. Each construct appears as a floating musical note, scribed from a minstrel’s playbook and etched upon the very air.

"Those look dangerous, but if you could stabilise one of them for me, it would be a good sample..."

Alright, there are *five* 'unstable notes' blocking the path here. Each requires an Acrobatics check to gently move it out of the way, or a Performance check to 'stabilise' it.

Good luck!

Darn. Not Thievery, huh?

"I miss Mara. Kids... Stand behind Uncle Bair."

Acrobatics (T): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
Acrobatics (T): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
Acrobatics (T): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
Acrobatics (T): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
Acrobatics (T): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

That 2 is probably a critical failure, so I'll check a box on One-Who-Waits to turn it into a regular failure.

@Thorax: It is *not* a crit-fail :-)

Thorax deftly moves the first two notes out of the way, but the third one vibrates when he touches it, and explodes for 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10 damage. After that, he manages to move the final two notes out of the way without any trouble.

Eliza nods in approval, and harvests one of the notes.

"Well done!"

Moving on down the path...

Masses of green crystallized sap form archways and honeycombs around a portal that has clearly been repaired and possibly augmented. Patterns of rigid luminous light mark the earth of the maze, frame various topiaries, and intersect around the base of each plant. Hovering spherical creatures survey the lengths of nearby topiary walls. At the center of the aperture hovers a living cloud made of shimmering runes and light.

At your approach, the cloud floats over to you, and assumes the form of a golden-skinned elf, who bows.

+++Hypothesis: Involvement Of Entropic Forces Is Suspected+++

Feel free to give me a Diplomacy check.

"Huh? CAH-MUN. Do you speak Common?" Thorax asks as he pantomimes and says certain words louder than others.

Diplomacy (E): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

+++Statement: This One Is Currently Using Taldane As A Communication Medium+++
+++Query: Is There A Problem With Your Language Processing Centre?+++
+++Updated Designation: New Lifeforms Are Mostly Harmless. Please Refrain From Further Expediting The Entropy Of The Universe+++

The creature turns back into cloud-form, and drifts away.

Moving through the next Portal...

Sundered topiary beasts and tumorous growths of the maze’s vegetation are torn free from the walls and floors, fed into a swirling nothingness. You appear on a small 'island', fringed by small twisted plants. The island itself is surrounded by eight small satellites, floating over the vast void.

Eliza looks up in alarm.

“Sorry my friends! It looks like this area has been overtaken by the forces of chaos made manifest. It looks like our route forward is the same as our route back. We’ll need to use those seedlings growing about to reconnect the broken shards of stone and change the destination of this portal we’re standing on! Quickly!”

As she says that, swirling storms of chaos start birthing knots of writhing winged snakes...

VW: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22.
VWO: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18.
Adalan: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15.
Bair: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19.
Deshacerla: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11.
Dran'Thor: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29.
Thorax: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29.

The plants are full of vital life energy. A PC who Interacts with the plants to apply a healing potion or an elixir of life (like the three you found earlier), or who succeeds at a DC 20 Medicine check to Treat Wounds, can revitalize a plant, causing them to instantly grow into sturdy bridges of vine and bark that connect the broken islands to the main platform.

As soon as all *8* plants have been 'revitalised', the portal will reactivate, and you can get the heck out of there!

Slide 5.

Dran'Thor and Thorax are up!

+++Updated Designation: New Lifeforms Are Mostly Harmless. Please Refrain From Further Expediting The Entropy Of The Universe+++

I think I would like running this in person ^_^

--------------back to the matter at hand--------------

Thorax: "Look, Orica! It's like that time you brought home plants from school!"
Orica: "But Da-add, Jydno roasted those with his rabbit meat!"

Thorax effortlessly spruces up the plant adjacent to him, steps to the next one clockwise, and gives it a word of encouragement.

Assurance/Medicine, Step, Assurance/Medicine; marked the two targets with stars.

The dwarf steps in the south and revitalize Natural medicine Treat rounds assurance. Then he moves to the next one north.

on the phone

@Thorax: I had a lot of fun ad-libbing that section :-D Unfortunately, the scenario didn't give me any actual words for them, so I had to make do by myself ;-)

Thorax manages to get two of the vines to grow.

Not to be outdone by a goblin, Dran'Thor then hurries to coax another vine to grow.

This agitates the flying snakes...

Three smaller ones go for Thorax...

Jaws: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29, for 2d8 - 2 ⇒ (3, 3) - 2 = 4 damage, +1d4 ⇒ 2 Chaotic damage.
Jaws: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6, for 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3 damage, +1d4 ⇒ 2 Chaotic damage.

Jaws: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16, for 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4 damage, +1d4 ⇒ 3 Chaotic damage.
Jaws: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23, for 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1 damage, +1d4 ⇒ 2 Chaotic damage.

Jaws: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11, for 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0 damage, +1d4 ⇒ 4 Chaotic damage.
Jaws: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11, for 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2 damage, +1d4 ⇒ 1 Chaotic damage.

One small and one big go for Dran'Thor...

Jaws: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16, for 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3 damage, +1d4 ⇒ 1 Chaotic damage.
Jaws: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22, for 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6 damage, +1d4 ⇒ 2 Chaotic damage.

Slam: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31, for 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 damage, +1d12 ⇒ 2 Chaotic damage.
Slam: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13, for 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 damage, +1d12 ⇒ 5 Chaotic damage.

...and the two remaining big ones go for the cat...

Slam: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27, for 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10 damage, +1d12 ⇒ 5 Chaotic damage.
Slam: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16, for 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 damage, +1d12 ⇒ 8 Chaotic damage.

Slam: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28, for 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 damage, +1d12 ⇒ 1 Chaotic damage.
Slam: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16, for 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 damage, +1d12 ⇒ 5 Chaotic damage.

Swarming Chaos, Round 1/2:

Bair (-)
Adalan (-)
Deshacerla (-)
Thorax (-6)
Dran'Thor (-6)
Smilodon (-27)
VW (-, -, -, -)
VWO (-, -, -)

3/8 bushes grown

Party is up!

"These things make you tingle!"

Thorax steps to the next closest plant, fertilizes it with copious amounts of earwax, and then steps to the next plant.

Moving to the closest plant, DC contemplates the options. Deciding to save her elixir, she tries her hand at tending the plants 'wounds'.

"Hey...I think I got it!"

Medicine(Trained): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Bair pulls out one of the elixirs they found earlier and moves over to pour it on a thing, "liahk dis?"

"Gardening is fun!" Thorax exclaims as the skies shift in chaotic patterns and snakes on the plane are literally trying to kill them.

Adalan slips between Deshacerla and the smilodon to position himself between two of the remaining plants (and dangerously close to the proteans). He hurries to treat both vines with some ingredients from his healer's kit and a bit of transmutation.

Using Assurance to get a 21 on both Treat Wounds.

Just checked the map. I tend to not check it before posting on some stuff, my bad. :( Are the stars the ones we have healed or the ones not healed? If not healed, then Bair's step as shown is correct. If the stars are the ones healed, then he would move straight across to the one by Sir Smilodon.

I put the stars on the ones I healed.

Last time I played on the phone I couldn't move on the map. I set my pic now where I told it was. Well it's only one square difference.

The dwarf treats the next brushes. Natural medicine Treat wounds. Assurance

And then he moves to the last one. Natural medicine Treat wounds. Assurance

I set the stars on both Dran'Thor treated this round.

Bair pulls out an Elixir, moves over, and dumps it on one of the plants, causing it to grow.

Adalan moves forward, and hurriedly coaxes another two vines into hyper-growth.

Deshacerla hurriedly moves up, and proves that she has quite the green thumb, coaxing the vine to grown with a speed hithertofore unseen!

Thorax then coaxes the final plant to grow, latching onto the final broken 'satellite island'.

As it does so, the rune beneath your feet activates, bathing you all in golden light; there is a feeling of falling, and then suddenly...

An idyllic meadow materializes, its borders marked by the easily identified bushes and topiaries of the Maze of the Open Road. The area seems free of planar intrusions or magical distortions, without a single living thing in sight.

A few random objects were dumped through the portal with you, including a tarnished gold ring, a bottle of aged brandy, a masterwork pesh pipe, and a platinum sculpture of a howler monkey. Which are basically there to continue to make up the treasure bundles ;-)

Eliza nods.

"This looks like an ideal place to take a quick break, if you need it..."

Not that I think you really need a 10 minute rest ;-)

Whilst you are relaxing, you make a sobering discovery: the corpse of a halfling, who looks a *lot* like 'Rindle' from earlier.

The halfling appears to have stabbed in the back and tucked under the hedges, along with the body of a squirrel that can only be the real Mr. Chitters.

Eliza sighs.

"There is a magical satchel at my belt. Please retrieve it, and put their bodies inside. We do *not* leave our own behind!"

Thorax looks to Bair, nods, and grabs the squirrel.

"...but this is good for eating, right?"

Eliza stares incredulously at Thorax.

"I did say *their* bodies, Thorax - we do not eat our agent's pets!"

Thorax's ears flop down and he drops the squirrel in the bag.

The dwarf helps to put the halfling’s corpse in the bag.

Eliza nods her thanks to Dran'Thor, then motions for you all to continue on your way.

A little further on...

A particularly thick section of the maze’s hedges has grown over massive white structures. What may have been the spires of an ancient temple are now so choked with wild plants they are inaccessible. Even stranger, mounding dunes of red sand are gathered in the open paths between the living walls of the maze.

Another portal stands in one of the white stone walls, but this one is choked with debris, which several four-armed humanoids, wrapped head-to-foot in scarves and other garments, are toiling to clear.

When they see you, they react with alarm.

"What!?"
"It's the Pathfinders the halfling warned us about!"
"Gods! We will never get home! They will murder us all!"
"Send in the dogs! It might give us a chance..."

Slide 6.

Party is up!

"We are not here to hurt you. Calm yourself and perhaps we may be of assistance. Heck, we may even be able to part as friends. Call off your attack."

Indicating her companions, she adds "We could quite easily wipe you off the face of this place, yet why should we? What reason do we have to harm you and yours? We are here for a purpose, naturally, but that purpose doesn't have to include your demise."

Diplomacy(Trained): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Deshacerla, I really wish it was otherwise, but unfortunately, the only way to 'rapid-use' Diplomacy is a 15th level feat, requiring Legendary training in Diplomacy...

The scenario just has them attacking you on sight; I was simply trying to give you some understanding for *why* they are doing so (in this case, 'Rindle' fed them a line about bloodthirsty murder-hobos)...

You can try to subdue them, but otherwise, as written, there is no way to resolve this encounter without killing them :-/

Bair looks at the dogs and the talky people DC is talking to, "OOOH YAH, tahktadem an Torax an me'll butchah da dags fera good meal."

He charges forward, stabbing at the lead dog and shouting, "BADDOG!"

Sudden Charge striking Yellow, Demoralize Yellow

+1 Striking Silver Halberd: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30 for Piercing: 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (5, 4) + 4 = 13

Intimidation (E): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22 +1 when physically menacing the target

I figured that was the case.

With a sigh, she nods to Bair. "Do your thing. I'm gonna try to get close enough to be useful."

Carefully, she picks her way through the rocks on the outer reach of the clearing. Chuckling as she watches the enthusiastic goblin rush ahead, she adds "You think skewered dogs are troublesome...just wait until he's ready for your hide."

Stride 3x

Thorax cautiously attempts to sneak up on their eternal enemy: the dogs.

Stride, Hide, Sneak

Stealth, Hide: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

Stealth, Sneak: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26 (+2 or +4 if you think Thorax has cover or greater cover during his second movement)

Adalan runs up to a position behind Bair and summons a shield to ward off any attacks that come his way.

The dwarf doesn't understand much of this fight. People running on the battlefield. Shouldn't they kill these creatures? The only one running straight was Bair, who landed a solid blow in one of them.

He hesitates. Doing nothing? Simply moves forward as the others? That's fine.

Then he remembers he's a dwarf and casts a spell upon the creatures.

Fireball, heightened +1: 8d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 4, 5, 4, 6, 1, 1) = 28

And he moves forward, finally.

Yep, figured at least one fireball was on its way!

Thorax stealths forward.

2d10 + 4 ⇒ (5, 8) + 4 = 17

Bair opts for the direct approach, charging forward and skewering the Yellow dog severely.

Dran'Thor moves forward, and then envelops the area in flame...

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26.
Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23.
Reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33.
Reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17.

...surprisingly, the Yellow dog completely dodges the blast, as does one of the four-armed humanoids!

Adalan and Deshacerla hustle forward.

Both dogs Step forward, and try to bite Bair...

Jaws: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31, for 2d10 + 12 ⇒ (4, 3) + 12 = 19 damage.
Jaws: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9, for 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 damage.

Jaws: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31, for 2d10 + 12 ⇒ (10, 3) + 12 = 25 damage.
Jaws: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18, for 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 damage.

...each managing a lucky bite!

"Good boys!"

Both four-armed humanoids cast a spell, and suddenly, there are multiple copies of each!

Thorax emerges from his hiding bush and scurries around the purple-furred dog (flanking with Bair).

+1 Striking Shifting Dogslicer : 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20 (vs flat-footed)
Magic, Slashing: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 6 = 13
Sneak, Backstabber: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1) + 1 = 4

Magic, Slashing: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 5) + 6 = 12
Sneak, Backstabber: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3) + 1 = 6

Goblin Weapon Frenzy: If any of those Crit they are flat-footed until the start of my next turn.

He then exclaims to the two humanoids, "Good idea! Dogs always tricked by magic. You be safe while we handle them!"

Thorax' first swing takes the Blue dog down...

Bair yelps in pain, angrily stabs at the remaining lucky dog then rushes around it to wave his poke-stick in the faces of the fancy mages, "Ya beddah shuterdown an surrendah."

Rage (AC 23, 9 Temp HP), Strike, Stride

+1 Striking Silver Halberd: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17 for Piercing + Rage: 2d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 6) + 4 + 2 = 14

Thorax' first swing takes the Blue dog down...

I guess use that attack roll to instead Quickdraw/Strike with an Alchemist Fire at the remaining dog, then.

Fire Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 6) = 14 + 2 Splash + 2 Persistent

Thorax shanks Blue into oblivion...

2d8 ⇒ (2, 8) = 10

...and then immolates the other one with a thrown flask of greek fire.

"No! Fluffy!"

Bair powers forward, taking a swing at one of the four-armed humanoids, but only eliminates an image.

Dran'Thor (-6)
Smilodon (-27)
Adalan (-)
Deshacerla (-)
WW (-; 3 extra image, -28; 2 extra images)

Dran'Thor, Adalan, and Deshacerla are up!

The dwarf moves forward and summons a storm upon the red one.

Tempest surge: 4d12 ⇒ (4, 3, 6, 7) = 20

Reflex DC 25. Clumsy 2 and 4 persistent electricity on failure.

Moving closer, DC cups her hands around her mouth and whispers "Stop this!"

The sound echos in an unholy fashion around the two opponents.

Sonic Damage: 2d10 ⇒ (6, 10) = 16

Cast Sound Burst need Fort Save DC 22

Maintaining his shield, Adalan makes a complex arcane gesture and tells the further humanoid in a strangely melodic voice, "Stop fighting us and we won't hurt you."

Casting suggestion (DC 25 plus Spell Penetration) on Teal.

Dran'Thor channels a large bolt of electricity...

Reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17.

...shocking the uninjured one.

Adalan tries to calm the situation...

Will: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28.

...but his spell is resisted.

Deshacerla then drops a sound-pocalypse upon the area...

Fort: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17.
Fort: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30.

...causing Red to bleed from his ears.

Both start swinging frantically at Bair...

Ranseur: 1d20 + 16 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 16 - 2 = 24, for 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 damage.
Ranseur: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 - 2 = 16, for 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 damage.
Ranseur: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 - 2 = 7, for 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 damage.

Ranseur: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29, for 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 damage.

Ranseur: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18, for 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 damage.

...but each of them only manages a single hit.

I am mildly irked that each has a large spell list, but according to tactics, the only spell I am supposed to use is their single Mirror Image each...

1d20 ⇒ 16

WW (-36; 3 extra image, -36; 2 extra images)

Party is up!

The dwarf casts an electric arc upon both foes.

Electric arc: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2, 3, 1) + 4 = 14

Reflex DC 25.

Then he orders his smilodon to come closer.

I am mildly irked that this game has so few options to deal nonlethal damage (or like in this case, where you can only convince them of your goodwill after beating them senseless)

Seeing the aliens lay into Bair, it dawns on Thorax that the dogs... BELONGED to them!!

"Tricked us! Thought you were NICE!"

He glares icily at [red], takes a Guarded Step up next to Bair, and strikes once.

Intimidating Glare, Dread Striker: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
(if successful, it is flat-footed to my attacks, in addition to being Frightened)

+1 Striking Shifting Dogslicer : 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34 (vs flat-footed?)
Magic, Slashing: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 4) + 6 = 15
Sneak, Backstabber?: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 5) + 1 = 12

Goblin Weapon Frenzy: If that Crits they are flat-footed until the start of my next turn.

@Thorax - there is definitely an option?

You take a –2 circumstance penalty to the attack roll when you make a nonlethal attack using a weapon that doesn’t have the nonlethal trait.

Apart from that, there are *some* spells (which Adalan *has* been trying to use, and I thank him for at least trying!). The system is still 'new' - there aren't a lot of options, period, at least for the moment; I mean, if you restricted yourself to the PF1 CRB, you would have had similarly limited options...

Thorax...

1d4 ⇒ 1

2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 6 = 10

...ignores the images surrounding Red, and strikes true, delivering a deep stab, although his glare was not effective.

Dran'Thor then channels electricity between the two strange aliens...

...and both spasm wildly!

Pining For The Red World, Round 3:

Thorax (-6)
Bair (-63)
Dran'Thor (-6)
Smilodon (-27)
Adalan (-)
Deshacerla (-)
WW (-75; 3 extra image, -64; 2 extra images)

Bair, Adalan, and Deshacerla are up!

Yeah. I guess I meant options for a Rogue (or Dex-based character) to deal non-lethal without penalty. Lots of Str-based options, like the sap, but the only finesse non-lethal weapon currently is the whip. But Thorax already takes a –2 penalty to attack and damage using martial weapons, and a whip has lower damage dice.

Hampered even more for Rogues since you can't get Sneak Attack or Dex-to-damage with Unarmed Strikes.

Patiently waiting for the Poi to be made Society legal, and then Thorax can just shift his Dogslicer back and forth between that.

The angry goblinoid slashes at both, then adds a single stab at the one in front of him, trying to poke any remaining images out of existence.
