GM Tyranius Age of Ashes (PF2E) (Inactive)

Game Master Tyranius

"Do it." Dak holds his blade aloft, ready to strike.

"Do it."

Raspar tenses and is ready to go. He raises his shield and waits.

"Let's do this."

The pantry has been recently looted. The office next door is a shambles, with paper strewn about haphazardly. A trapdoor in the ceiling has a folding staircase descending from it, but several steps on the ladder are broken and stained with blood.

Climbing up, you emerge into a study. Two overstuffed sofas sit facing each other in this room, while a round table with a few stools nearby sit opposite. The spicy scent of coffee and tea lingers in the air.

A human man and woman are hiding behind a sofa, but they emerge when they see you. "Thank the gods! We were attacked by Nidalese agents! They abducted the rest of the staff! Please, you need to inform the authorities!"

Cabaguil is happy to see some still alive, ”Are you OK? Either of you hurt?” He’ll see to their injuries if they are wounded.

Then he’ll continue, ”How do you know they were Nidalese agents? We’ve had some trouble with people spreading falsehoods. Also, where did they take them, do you know? And how long ago?”

He’s sure he has more questions, but he stops, impatiently, to allow them to answer before plowing on.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 21 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 21 + 2 = 39 (badge - with humans only)

Raspar follows along, also eager to know where the staff were abducted to.

"And yes, how long ago!?" Raspar repeats Cabaguil's question as he had asked all the good ones first.

Dak lets the others talk as he scans the room with a magic detecting spell, then turns his focus on the two, skeptical, but not cynical.

Perception to Sense Motive, +16 (M)

Dori crosses his arms and remains quiet for a moment. Cab has this well in hand but something about these two humans doesn't seem right...

[ooc]Perception to sense motive +16 (T)[/dice]

"Wasn't too long ago, maybe about 20-30 minutes. If that. We just made it up here to see if anyone else made it out of that alive." The pair appear to be quite happy to see some saviors. "We aren't sure where they took them. They didn't say."

Dori gets the sense that they are being completely truthful and are just looking for help.

Ever the cynical elf Dakapos gets the sense that the pair are not quite telling the truth. They appear to be quite nervous and twitchy to him.

One of you got a success and one of you got a crit fail.

"...then why are you twitchy. Out with it. I'm in no mood for games." Dak is also haughty, and assumes his take is the correct one.

Kelvin grunts. He wasn't paying attention to their words as he was busy searching the room for anything interesting. But he stops when Dak takes that tone. "Oh, it's like that? Do I...?" he hefts Ogogoro's Pride for effect, looking for a sign from the elf to see whether he needs to turn the scare on.
Kelvin is ready to drop an Intimidate to Coerce

Raspar waits and listens, he’s trying to be helpful, but doesn’t quite get it yet.

”What else do you want to tell us?”

Dakapos begins to scream at the pair making them recoil in surprise. The woman begins to sob. "We were just attacked and our friends were taken!" He hands shake as the man places a comforting arm around her.

Cabaguil approaches one of them, perhaps the man and speaks levelly, ”We’re sorry if we seem a bit abrupt. There have been issues with people saying one thing and the truth being something else. Some may have been plants, sent to lead us astray. Some just didn’t have all the facts, and so we must ask questions and delve.”

”But rest assured,” he speaks calmly, ”We are here to help. So, tell me truthfully, exactly what happened here in the last little while? Give me every detail and leave nothing out.”

He weaves his request with a Suggestion (•>>, Will DC 29)

Not sure if you want a dip roll, but just in case, here’s a fresh one.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 21 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 21 + 2 = 39 (badge - with humans only)

Raspar waits to see what to see what might happen. He would bleed for these two, even though they might not be completely trustworthy. He will see.

Will DC 29: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22

The man seems to relax with Cabaguils spell. He leans in a bit more at ease as he shares a bit of lovely news with Cabaguil. "We aided the Scarlet Triad in ransacking the place, came in disguised as customers during lunch rush. We set loose two remnants of Barzillai and all chaos broke loose after that. That halfling woman tried to save some of her people, but we quickly overwhelmed her." He smiles. "They took her and after that we came up here and found all of this! When we heard you we tried disguising ourselves as survivors."

The woman looks incredulous at her companion, she narrows her eyes, then her forms shift, revealing herself to be tiger-headed fiend!

Round 1

Action 1: Strike.
Action 2: Strike.
Action 3: Strike.

"Oh, maybe I'll be bleeding for you in a different way then," Raspar says aloud, and confusingly. His starknife lashes out 3 times at green.

Melee or Ranged Strike:
Melee: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34 to hit;
P/S, holy: 2d4 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 6 + (5) = 19 damage

Melee or Ranged Strike:
Melee: 1d20 + 19 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 19 - 4 = 34 to hit;
P/S, holy: 2d4 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 6 + (4) = 13 damage

Melee or Ranged Strike:
Melee: 1d20 + 19 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 19 - 4 - 4 = 27 to hit;
P/S, holy: 2d4 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 3) + 6 + (3) = 14 damage

Note 12 damage of prevention is on the stack AND a get out of restraint (potentially) free card + 2 persistent good damage to the grappler.

Religion?: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 Awesome! I know NOTHING about 2e rakshasa, and I love it! The roll stinks, but..."

Ðakaþos eyes the duplicitous foes for a second, pulling up anything he knows into his working memory. "I KNEW it."

He moves around the couch to close distance while Raspar harries the foe.

His third action is dependent on the results of his recall knowledge. If he has no reason to doubt his bastard sword, he'll swing. If he does, he'll pull out the shifting dagger.

Kelvin shouts, "FOR THE RAINBOW CITADEL!" He directs his attention to the demon on the left.
Battle Cry (Demoralize) vs Green Will DC: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36

Action 1: Rage (+14 temp hp)
Action 2: Stride
Action 3: Strike

The dwarf lets his latent fury burst free, and with stomping steps rushes Dakapos' foe.
Strike vs Green (Flat-footed): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 = 32
Damage (P/Sonic): 2d6 + 9 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 9 + (1, 1) + (6) = 20

Annoyed that he couldn't see the lies and deceit in these two, Dori lashes out at his younger friend on something trivial and unrelated.
"That's not it's name!" he roars and moves towards the SheCat will not a whole lot of much on. Dori raises his shield to block the image from his eyes or was it to protect Kelvin? Either way, it allowed both.

actions 1:stride
actions 2:shield
actions 3:strike

attack on SheCat!: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31
damage?: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (3, 6) + 6 = 15

Dori will use quick block to shield block the first successful attack on himself
Retributive strike:

Dakapos has all the confidence in his blade as he believes these creature to be common catfolk. Full of luck, well-groomed and always able to land on their feet these catfolk will bite and claw their way through enemies.

Dakapos' confidence wanes as his bastard sword seems mostly resisted by the hulking cat before him. DR Raspar's starknife seems far more effective as it pierces into the soft, furry body. Dori makes a move against Cheetara, his axe nicking her slightly. DR as well

Kelvin's battle cry frightens the southern catman as he focuses his spear on Dakapos' target. The catfolk slash claws at Dakapos and Dori. As they do so a burst of shadowed energy erupts in the middle of the room injuring everyone within. It slashes as if the cat's claws are everywhere all at once.

Red Claw vs Dori AC 33: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (3) + 22 = 25

Red Shadow Blast (Slashing Damage): 5d8 ⇒ (6, 6, 3, 2, 3) = 20 DC 31 Basic Reflex or Will save. Your choice

Green Claw vs Dakapos AC 32; Frightened 1: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 40
Damage: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (6, 4) + 10 = 20

Green Shadow Blast (Slashing Damage): 5d8 ⇒ (7, 7, 4, 5, 1) = 24 DC 31 Basic Reflex or Will save. Your choice

Dori manages to block all of the attack on Dakapos, but fails to land much of anything on his own.

Those two Shadow Blasts will hit all of you in the room. Dakapos will get his AoO on Green if he wishes.

Cabaguil (74/88)
Cuthberwyn (106/138)

will save 1: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23
will save 2: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (9) + 19 = 28

will save 1: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35
will save 2: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34

Dori takes the damage with a grunt, but presses the attack on the lightly armored cat...

actions 1:strike
actions 2:strike
actions 3:shield

He raises his shield in hopes of some protecting from the shadows.

attack!: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31
damage?: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 6 = 12

attack!: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34
damage?: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (1, 5) + 6 = 12

Dori will use quick block to shield block the first successful attack on himself
Retributive strike:

Reflex save: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38
Reflex save: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23
Evasion means 1 crit success and 1 fail. 10 damage to him

Action 1: Strike
Action 2: Strike
Action 3: Strike
Reaction: Opportune Backstab

Kelvin grunts as some of the shadowstuff washes over him. He ignores it though to stab at the demon cat with his prized spear.
Strike vs Green (Flat-footed): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (8) + 20 = 28
Damage (P/Sonic): 2d6 + 9 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 6) + 9 + (5, 2) + (6) = 32
Strike vs Green (Flat-footed): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
Damage (P/Sonic): 2d6 + 9 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 3) + 9 + (3, 1) + (6) = 24
Strike vs Green (Flat-footed): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
Damage (P/Sonic): 2d6 + 9 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 3) + 9 + (3, 1) + (4) = 25
Unlikely that an inspire courage will make a difference here

DC 31 Will save: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (16) + 20 = 36
DC 31 Will save: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27
One success, one failure. 34 pts total.

Cuthberwyn shakes off the worst of one shadow blast, but is less successful on the second. He hurries over to the far side of the cat creatures, certain they are not what they seem but unable to place it. He weaves a tale of a cat's tail caught beneath a rocking chair, hopeful that this is as worrisome to these cats as those he has seen elsewhere. (Dirge of doom cantrip, 30' emanation, foes in the area are Frightened 1 and cannot reduce their Frightened value below 1 while in the area.) The gnome draws out his whip to use at his next opportunity.

Stride, verbal component for dirge of doom, Interact to draw whip.

1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 18 + 2 = 34 Reflex
1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 18 + 2 = 38 Reflex 24 damage, I think.

Raspar dances away from the sprays and tosses his starknife at the most wounded foe.

Round 2

Action 1: Strike.
Action 2: Strike.
Action 3: Strike.

Melee or Ranged Strike:
Melee: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34 to hit;
P/S, holy: 2d4 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 + (4) = 17 damage

Melee or Ranged Strike:
Melee: 1d20 + 19 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 19 - 4 = 27 to hit;
P/S, holy: 2d4 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 6 + (6) = 18 damage

Melee or Ranged Strike:
Melee: 1d20 + 19 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 19 - 4 - 4 = 17 to hit;
P/S, holy: 2d4 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 1) + 6 + (4) = 15 damage

Note 12 damage of prevention is on the stack AND a get out of restraint (potentially) free card + 2 persistent good damage to the grappler.

REF v. Shadow Blast Red: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35 Pass
REF v. Shadow Blast Green: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33 Pass

Magic crashes on the room like an angry wave. When Ðak sees the opening he takes it:

AoO: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (18) + 21 = 39 for DMG: 2d12 + 7 ⇒ (4, 2) + 7 = 13 and FIRE: 1d6 ⇒ 4 It's a weak attack at best.

He tries to keep the pressure up:
ATK 1: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (5) + 21 = 26 Miss? (Misses do 7)
ATK 2: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21 Miss? (Misses do 7)
ATK 3 Exacting Strike: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33 for DMG if hit: 2d12 + 7 ⇒ (9, 7) + 7 = 23 and FIRE: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Will apply Raspar's liberating Step to Cabaguil seems he has the lowest health total during all of that AoE

The group is sliced and diced by the magical claws as they strike all around the room at once. Raspar protects Cabaguil as much as possible. Cuthberwyn frightens the pair of catfolk as the group remains standing strong.

Due to being weakened Dakapos is able to pin point a weak spot in its defenses and strikes quickly. Over and over again he slashes into the mancat. DR Raspar's starknife sticks into its ribs before magically disappearing into the halflings hands once more. The catfolk looks tetters like he is about to collapse.

Dori's axe doesn't seem very effective at all as the cat's claws absorb a lot of the blow. DR

Round 2

Round 1
Cabaguil (74/88)
Cuthberwyn (72/138)

Round: 1

Will: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20 vs DC 31 for 20hp (crit fail double damage)
Will: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22 vs DC 31 for 24hp

As usual, being weak, he very nearly succumbs to the blasts. Having already done Battle Medicine on himself this day, he's forced to spend magical healing on himself.

Though it isn't much, he'll at least try to help the others... casting Inspire Courage (•>, +1 attack, damage, and saves vs fear (status)).

Then he heals himself (•>>).
Healing: 4d8 + 32 + 2 ⇒ (6, 4, 7, 4) + 32 + 2 = 55 (staff)

Raspar protects Cabaguil from the slashing claws as he spins his starknife around and around in its path. Cabaguil's inspiration and Cuthberwyn's dirge allow Kelvin to barely hit the catfolk as he drops the severely wounded one.

Healing his injuries the remaining catfolk vanishes from sight as she turns invisible.

Cuthberwyn (72/138)

Round: 2

Cabaguil ‘sees’ the creature turn invisible, and tries for the counter, casting See Invisibility (•>>). He then points out where she is (•>).

Dori swings away at where he saw the shecat disappear.

Retributive strike:

Round 3

Action 1: Strike.
Action 2: Strike.
Action 3: Strike.

Raspar fires his starknife into the area that Cabaguil indicates.

Melee or Ranged Strike:
Melee: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33 to hit;
P/S, holy: 2d4 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 3) + 6 + (6) = 17 damage

P/S, holy: 2d4 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 6 + (3) = 13 damage
1d20 ⇒ 17 vs DC 11 flat check

Note 12 damage of prevention is on the stack AND a get out of restraint (potentially) free card + 2 persistent good damage to the grappler.

Cabaguil quickly locates and points out the location of the she-cat now in the middle of the room behind Dori.

Dori Hidden Flat Check DC 11: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Dori and Raspar make it count as they strike where Cabaguil points to. While some of their attacks miss a few end up hitting something as fresh blood spatters the floorboards.

Round 2
Cabaguil (77/88)
Cuthberwyn (72/138)

Cuthberwyn tries to use Cabaguil's direction to limn the catfolk in blue flame. Cast faerie fire.

If the spell works, he does his best to try and use his whip on the foe.

DC 5 flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 8
Athletics to Trip: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27

Verbal & somatic components for faerie fire, Athletics check to Trip.

Ðakaþos moves to the area it seems the enemy stands. He opts for big swings at waist height, hoping to catch a flank:

Flat: 1d20 ⇒ 9ATK: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23 Miss
Flat: 1d20 ⇒ 15ATK 2: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34 for DMG: 2d12 + 7 ⇒ (11, 11) + 7 = 29 and Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Cuthberwyn coats the area i sparkly magical glitter. It seems to stick and coat the catwoman fur making her far easier to see. DC is now 5 instead of 11 (Concealed instead of Hidden) Cuthberwyn's whip seems to still be a little off target as it misses the agile cat.

Dakapos moves in and thrusts his blade into the glittery mass, drawing more blood.

Round 2
Cabaguil (77/88)
Cuthberwyn (72/138)

Action 1: Stride
Action 2: Strike
Action 3: Strike
Reaction: Opportune Backstab

Kelvin moves to interpose himself between the lone foe and Cabaguil. With the magical faerie fire highlighting his target, Kelvin goes in swinging with his spear.
Flat check, DC 5: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Strike vs Red (Flat-footed): 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 20 + 1 = 33
Damage (P): 2d6 + 9 + 2d6 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 3) + 9 + (1, 3) + (6) + 1 = 24
Flat check, DC 5: 1d20 ⇒ 5
Strike vs Red (Flat-footed): 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 15 + 1 = 32
Damage (P): 2d6 + 9 + 2d6 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1) + 9 + (2, 6) + (6) + 1 = 29

Kelvin's spear strikes true thanks to the faerie fire. Severely injured the catfolk reappears as she bites at Kelvin.

Fangs vs Kelvin AC 27: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (11) + 20 = 31
Damage: 2d12 + 10 ⇒ (12, 1) + 10 = 23

The cat's fangs sink into Kelvin's neck and shoulder as he feels his blood drain into the creature to rejuvenate it. Dori and Raspar smash the blunt end of their weapons into the cat's head, completely stopping the fangs from injuring Kelvin too much. Dori and Raspar's reactions stop 24 damage from the fangs so no damage from the fangs attack.

Vampiric Touch (Kelvin): 6d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 6, 5, 4, 1) = 24 Basic DC 31 Fort save. The catfolk will gain half the damage done as Temp HP.

Retributive strike and Opportune Backstab both miss. Dakapos will get an AoO from the Vampiric Touch spell being cast.

Round 3
Cabaguil (77/88)
Cuthberwyn (72/138)

Round: 3

He feels the fight is nearly over, so he doesn’t want to expend anything he may need for the next fight. It seems like the day is going to be a slog.

Still, he’ll cast Inspire Courage (•>, +1 attack, damage, and saves vs fear (status)) to give his friends the edge before tossing a ball of fire of his own in there just for fun, casting Produce Flame (•>>, 5d4 persistent damage on crit)!

Produce Flame: 1d20 + 19 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 19 + 0 = 29 (inspire, cover) Damage (Fire): 5d4 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 2, 4) + 5 + 1 = 22 (inspire)

1d20 ⇒ 8 vs DC 5 flat check

Note 12 damage of prevention is on the stack AND a get out of restraint (potentially) free card + 2 persistent good damage to the grappler.

Full damage it is

Action 1: Strike
Action 2: Strike
Action 3: Strike
Reaction: Opportune Backstab

Though the magic takes full effect, draining life force to feed the cat-demon, Kelvin does not let up, attacking thrice with his spear.

Cabaguil's flame burns the catfolk as her fur melts back. Following Cabaguil's lead Raspar and Kelvin pile onto her. Even with vampirically sucking the life force from Kelvin they pair still manage to drop her to the ground.

With the fiends dispatched, you continue looking around the handful of bunk rooms upstairs. The beds in these dormitory-like rooms are all askew, and several dressers and desks lay on their sides.

A halfling hides in one of the rooms behind an overturned bookshelf. When she realizes you aren't here to try to enslave her, she crawls out of hiding and sobs, "They took her! They took Laria! Please, you need to find her and save her!”

”We’ll save her, I promise, but let me fix these men up a little first. While I do that, perhaps you could tell us what happened here? We heard from the cat folk, but we’d like it from a reliable source as well. You are truthful aren’t you?” He grins warmly

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22 (+2 if they’re human)

Ugh. I guess it came out more as, "Wait there kid, I'll be with you when I'm done." :(

He then listens as he cares for his allies wounds.

Kelvin chuckles at Cabaguil's tone at first, then thinks better of it and stops himself. "Okay friend, take a deep breath," he says to the previously hidden halfling. "We're here to help, even if it might not sound like it. Why don't you talk us through things. What you know can help us get Laria back safely."
Diplomacy (Make an Impression) vs Will DC: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

You guys are able to handwave and roleplay out a lot of your outside of combat healing if you wish. You have folks that can do medicine checks every 10 minutes to 4 people at a time as well as 2 champions that get free heals every 10 minutes. I will let you know if we are in a time constraint that wouldn't be advisable to do it.

Cabaguil brushes off the little halfling for a moment to deal with injuries. She begins to explain everything to Kelvin.

The halfling introduces herself as she gulps in some fresh air to calm herself down. "My name is Elianda, a new junior pastry chef at the coffeehouse." She goes on to describe "I was up here alone when she heard fighting break out below." She sobs in shame at having hidden here, "but when the fighting was over I crept downstairs, I saw Laria and several others had been chained up by a group of strangers who fit them with gags and hoods and bundled them into large sacks for transport." Elianda's hands begin to shake. "hat is when I saw “Barzillai’s ghost.” and then two of those “monsters with tiger heads” came in and started upstairs. I ran up here and hid."

Elianda has no idea who the attackers are, but she does have an idea of where they are going: she overheard one of the attackers joking about “how handy it is that halflings are so portable—makes it so much easier to hall them back to Tanessen Tower and up all those steps!”

Cabaguil knows that the Tanessens are one of Kintargo’s noble families, and Tanessen Tower is in fact located in Alabaster Academy.

You could check out Lady Docur's School for Girls next or head straight to Tanessen Tower.

Dori helps heal the wounds of his group and then inspects the catfolk to see if there if they carried anything that would lead to figuring out who they were and why they wanted the halfling.
"We should head to the Tower, quickly. We do not know why these folks have been taken."

Thank you for the healing handwave.

"Thank you, Elianda," Raspar says with a bright, gentle smile. "You are brave and being very helpful. And we will find Laria and the others."

Raspar would prefer to check out the nearby Girls School, then read for the Tower.

"We'll get to the tower, but I have a feeling something may have happened at the school now too. Or something might soon. Let's prevent that. It's along the way, right Cabaguil?"

Cabaguil nods to Kelvin, and does indeed suggest they move quickly, and engage whatever is closer first. He leans toward the School for Girls next, but will allow nearness to decide their next course of action.

"Thank you and agreed. I do not want to skip the school. There could also be any number of atrocities there, but let us first visit the tower."
