Gameday VIII - PFS #9-09 Beyond the Halflight Path - GM Hawthwile (Inactive)

Game Master Hawthwile

Lisianthus flies up closer and casts Daylight on Dolph's hat!

She may give Dewberry a command once she knows what's happening. Also she is currently five feet in the air, so a Medium creature can fit under her.

Orst will prepare his shield for when he can see the humanoid with the turban again. He will call upon Linora, the spirit of his sword, to enchant his drawn bastard sword with her purity. Standard action to use his divine bond with his weapon to make it +1. move to ready shield. Is there a knowledge check we can do to figure out what this is?

After Lis' light spell is cast Xilt moves up so he can see further ahead. He gestures and the giant ball of water moves forward.

It is difficult to know where the light overcomes the darkness. I have moved the Aqueous Orb to where I think my character can still see. Please readjust if I can actually roll it over an enemy.

Assumimng Daylight has made my darkvision see again...

Kronug will summon a new earth elemental to harass the creature while helping Bird get out an alchemist's fire to bombard the creature with.

earth ele power slam: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 1 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 3 = 10

both my posts assume the creature is visible after the daylight.

Bird takes the alchemist's fire and goes to drop it.

touch ac: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Because of how deeper darkness and daylight work, the light level where they overlap is "regular light" - aka regular darkness. Unfortunately, the ioun torch and other light spells don't increase this more since the deeper darkness overrides them. But yay for darkvision at least!

As the swirl of winds touches Dolph's hat, the Pathfinders who can see in the dark watch as their regular black-and-white vision returns - and reveals the dark-clothed humanoid lurking just around the corner, with another right behind them!

@Kronug, it would take a move action to retrieve the vial and another to give it to the bird. Alternatively, the bird could use a move action to take it from you and then another to move. Either way, both the elemental summoning and the bombardment can't happen in the same round. I'm going to assume you chose the bombardment unless I hear otherwise.

Xilt rolls the ball of water forward...

Red Reflex vs DC 21: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Nonlethal Bludgeoning damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8
Red Reflex vs DC 21: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

...and it steamrolls one of the creatures. With barely enough time to yelp, it is engulfed by the orb. The bird tries to drop its payload on the other creature, but it can't see in the dark...

Miss chance, 1 = miss: 1d2 ⇒ 2
Yellow Reflex vs DC 15: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

...and while the bottle hits its target, the creature quickly dampens the flames before they spread.

Round 2! Bold may act!

Environmental Effects:
- Ceiling is 20 ft high
- Cavern is dark (no light sources)

What do you do?

Knowledge: 1d20 ⇒ 2 arcana +11, dungeoneering +7, local +8, nature +10, planes +12, religion +7

Note: the action below assumes the creatures are not undead, or immune to mind-affecting, per Robyyn's knowledge check above; otherwise, I'll need to retcon this

Robyyn pushes his way through the scrum of Pathfinders and companions, slipping into an open space by the far wall, but close enough for him to see and take action. He fixes his gaze on the closest foe, attacking its resistances with his mind.

@GM Hawthwile the Reflex DC of the Aqueous Orb is actually 23 (as stated in previous post) as an arcane point was spent to enhance it. The creature is also entangled so net save to escape each round will be DC 25. This is easy to forget so I am writing it down. :)

Would it be KS-Planes to identify these creatures?

"Dewberry, guard Xilt!"

Dewberry will attack anything that tries to attack the wizard.

@Xilt, if the creatures are accurate to the pictures, I think it's actually knowledge (local) to ID, funnily enough

Dolph waddles forward, the bright light on his Helmet of Discipline lighting the way. He takes a swing at the creature underneath

Attack with +1 Adamantine Dorn-dergar vs Yellow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
Damage (lead blades): 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (4, 5) + 7 = 16
Assuming he still has lead blades up, since it seems like a fast turn around since the last combat

Dolph then turns around and calls out to Victor with his usual battle command.

"VICTOR, WE HAVE POACHERS."

Victor clops around Kronug and attempts to gore the same creature as Dolph. Victor has darkvision from his celestial template, so he can see thanks to the daylight spell

Gore (power attack): 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 - 2 = 13
Damage (power attack): 1d4 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 6 = 14

Thank you for the reminders on Knowledge checks. These are dark stalkers - ambushers of the deep that, while blinded by strong lights, can see even in impenetrable darkness. Which they can create at will so they can stab their targets in the kidneys. With poisoned blades. Oh, and they explode when they die. Fun times.

Also slight bot for Victor - too much retconning depending on his reaction to wait. Sorry!

As Dolph's weapon slams into its chest, the stalker steps to the side of the goat's attack and glances at the dwarf's "glowing" helmet. (Man, what does this even look like? lol) Ducking under the extended shaft of the weapon, it concentrates for a moment as it reaches out to touch the helm - but Victor will not let this go unchallenged!

Victor Gore, PA vs Yellow: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 - 2 = 14
Piercing damage, PA: 1d4 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 6 = 15

Yellow Touch vs Dolph Touch AC 11: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

The celestial goat catches only air as the stalker lays a hand on Dolph's head. The darkness suddenly comes rushing back from the its blade, leaving the Pathfinders blinded once more. The muffled churning of the orb fills the air, as does the faint sound of more footsteps - this time from behind Dewberry!

Dewberry, since you have Scent you can attempt to locate the direction of the creature near you as a move action.

EDIT: I forgot the Will save vs Robyyn's Evil Eye! Sorry!

Yellow Will vs DC 18: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Empty circles are where the stalkers were last seen.

Environmental Effects:

What do you do?

Dewberry sniffs around, on alert (spending a move action).

Lisianthus gets ready to cast faerie fire as soon as the location of one of the creatures is apparent.

@Lis would faerie fire work? It’s a light spell of a level lower than deeper darkness, so wouldnt it just get overwrittwn?

As a swift action, Dolph enters his animal focus of the hairless otter the wolf to gain scent with a range of 10 ft.

Dolph’s training in the Way of the Hairless Otter apparently goes beyond just his hunter training, as he suddenly calls upon even further skills for fighting where sight had failed.

Move action to use Martial Versatility to gain Blind-Fight, which is important to note if the dark stalker tries to attack him

Dolph throws out a headbutt towards the last place he saw the dark stalker.

Miss Chance (roll twice, take better): 2d100 ⇒ (28, 53) = 81
High is always good for me
Dwarven Boulder Helmet: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Damage (lead blades): 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Victor continues following his last order and moves to flank the last known spot of the dark stalker.

Miss Chance (high is always good for me): 1d100 ⇒ 47
Gore (power attack): 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 2 = 8
Damage (pa): 1d4 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 6 = 15

Dewberry smells one of the creatures right next to her!

Unfortunately, it’ll be tough for Dewberry to communicate this knowledge to anyone else, what with her being a snake and all.

Robyyn draws upon lessons learned on a recent mission, reaching out to his environment to try to sense the movement of creatures through tremors in the ground. 'Listening' in this way, he readies a spell which he lets off if he is able to isolate the movement of the mobile dark stalker.

Swift: activate Secrets Beyond Sight (9-04 The Unseen Inclusion) to gain tremorsense 20 ft for 4 rounds
Standard: ready action to cast fumblestep on current location of yellow if detected within range of tremorsense

You know that there's more to understanding history and your surroundings than sight alone. You can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet to gain one of the following benefits.

[ ] As a standard action, you cast object reading as a spell-like ability (CL 5th).
[ ] As a swift action, you gain the scent universal monster ability for 10 minutes.
[ ] As a swift action, you gain blindsense to a range of 10 feet for 1 round per character level.
[x] As a swift action, you gain tremorsense to a range of 20 feet for 1 round per character level.

Sammy continues to kiss the air searching for the location of these foul creatures. He will surely communicate this fact to Xilt. His master is in trouble yet again and he wracks his tiny serpentine brain to remember if these creatures can see invisible creatures as well as in the dark. He remembers hearing once that casting in the dark is almost as bad as swimming after eating or perhaps it was the other way around.

He can take two move actions to locate the direction of these creatures. He automatically pinpoints any creatures within 5' of himself and Xilt.

We should have a discussion about line of effect and casting I think. Assuming that you are blind can you cast spells with a range of touch (like on yourself)? Also is tremorsense or a pinpointed square with scent enough information to cast at a spell at a creature or even to center an area of effect spell?

Oh, yeah, it's still just a light spell, dang. If the GM will allow a retcon...

Lisianthus casts produce flame and holds a ball of fire in one airy appendage!

If the creature she senses makes a hostile move toward herself or Xilt, she attacks! Readied action or Attack of Opportunity, as appropriate

Since they seem relevant at this point in time, here are the rules on aiming spells The biggest trick is that for some, you have to be able to see your target. For others, you need to define the location where the effect takes place. Personal spells and friendly touch-range spells need not worry - I"m assuming everyone is talking enough to coordinate.

So for example, Dolph could cast grease under the stalker in front of him (since it targets an area), but he couldn't use slow since he can't see his target. He's fine to cast divine favor on himself or move and cast cure light wounds on Victor.

@Dewberry - you can determine the creature's location, but not its intent (it still has concealment against you). Do you want to change that attack from a readied action to a regular attack?

@Xilt - it would be nearly impossible to precisely target an area based on verbal descriptions from your companions. Sammy is close enough and can offer nonverbal instructions (such as pushing left/right) that he can help his master aim at a square at least.

Dolph's helmet misses the stalker, as does Victor's horn. Robyyn finds himself unnaturally attuned to the ground beneath him, but that lets him find the stalker harassing the dwarf and coats the creature's feet with a film of ectoplasm.

I'm ruling that tremorsense is enough to pinpoint because A. it says "location of anything in contact with the ground" as opposed to scent's "source's location" (as opposed to scent's "determine direction" use) and B. the spell is targeting the creature's feet, which are immediately in contact with the ground and it's perfect.

Environmental Effects:
- Ceiling is 20 ft high
- Cavern is supernaturally dark

What do you do?

Xilt attempts to blind some of his opponents to even out the playing field. Sammy tries to help his master find the goat nudging his arm in the right direction.

corner 1=SW, 2=SE,3=NE,4=NW: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Glitterdust targeting Victor's square. Sammy can help me aim but I imagine the exact corner would be up to chance. Will DC 22 (Arcane point expended). I am going to assume that players will be fine with this as they are already blinded by the darkness.

I’m good with a regular attack if that seems reasonable to you! I wasn’t sure if Lis could direct Dewberry to attack something that she herself can’t see.

Orst without his ieon torch is reduced to defending. He puts his back to the cave wall and listens for approaching footsteps. perception: 1d20 ⇒ 1
"Warn me before approaching, else get my fist in you gut." He says to the darkness.
No darkvision. If anyone has ideas on how to get into the fight I am willing to try them.

Xilt hears the slight tone of panic in the Paladin's voice.

"Just concentrate on healing Dewberry for now if and when she gets hurt. You can't miss a four hundred pound python even if it is pitch black in here."

You can not go wrong with your healing hands. It is a much better option than swinging blind.

@Dewberry - that should be covered under the "Guard" command, so you're good to go!

Dewberry Concealment, 1 = Miss: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Dewberry snaps, but her massive fangs do not puncture any flesh.

@Xilt - Sammy can tell you the direction, but not the distance to an opponent. That would mean your spell could happen at a range of distances. You can try to narrow down this range with a Perception check. Do you still wish to cast the spell?

Botting Kronug.

Kronug summons another elemental to his side. In the dark, it rumbles to the closest stalker and swings its stony fist...

Elemental Slam, Power Attack, Earth Mastery vs Yellow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12
Bludgeoning damage, PA, EM: 1d6 + 4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 3 + 1 = 14

...but the creature steps out of the way, easily avoiding the blow.

To keep things moving, we'll retcon Xilt's spell if needed.

One of the stalkers stabs at Dewberry...

Blue Short sword, Invisible vs Dewberry FF AC 24: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 2 = 19
Slashing damage, Sneak Attack: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (3, 3, 4) = 16

Blue Short sword, Invisible vs Dewberry FF AC 24: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 2 = 22
Slashing damage, Sneak Attack: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (6) + 2 + (6, 4, 4) = 22

...but its swords are not sharp enough to puncture the serpent's scaly hide. The other tries to attack Dolph...

Yellow Short sword vs Dolph AC 17: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Slashing damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Crit confirmation: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Crit damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

...and even though it catches the dwarf by surprise, it also seems to catch the stalker by surprise and it doesn't follow through to Dolph's kidney - though the dwarf feels something sickening left behind by the blade. Feeling Dolph twist out of the way of a more lethal attack, the stalker turns its attentions on Victor...

Yellow Short sword, Invisible vs Victor FF AC 19: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 = 17
Slashing damage, Sneak Attack: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (6, 5, 6) = 23

...but the goat is too stubborn to be hit! Swearing under its breath, the stalker steps out from between Victor and his master.

Environmental Effects:
- Ceiling is 20 ft high
- Cavern is supernaturally dark

What do you do?

Fortitude Save (poison): 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 2 = 31

@GM according to my reading of blind-fight, it making it so I no longer need to make acrobatics checks to love at full speed means my movement is no longer impeded and I can thus make five foot steps. If you disagree, then Dolph will stay where he was next to the dark stalker. Otherwise, he will step back to use his dorn-dergar

Dolph sniffs about for the dark stalker.

Dolph takes a mighty swing at his foe with his dwarven wrecking ball.

Miss Chance (blind fight): 2d100 ⇒ (19, 91) = 110
91 is high, so possible hit!
Attack with +1 Adamantine Dorn-dergar: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Damage (lead blades): 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (7, 4) + 7 = 18

Victor uses his own natural nose to sniff out the location of the dark stalker, then behs as he tries to gore him once more.

Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 97
Possible hit!
Gore (pa): 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 - 2 = 17
Damage (pa): 1d4 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 6 = 13

I should have asked this when I cast the spell, but if Robyyn utilizes the Trip attack from fumblestep, would the nearby party get AoOs when the stalker tried to stand, or would that be moot because of the darkness/invisibility?

Even with Sammy's help casting in the dark is a tricky affair. He decides to keep his powder dry as the battle seems well in hand. He keeps alert should any one of these creatures decides to make a dash at him.

Xilt decided not to cast Glitterdust last turn.He will ready an action to cast vanish on himself defensively should he think that he is being rushed by a Darkstalker.

Sammy stays ever vigilant sniffing the air around him for trouble. Should a Darkstalker approach nearby (5') he will inform his master.

Dewberry sniffs around and then bites!

Dewberry bite!: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Dewberry ouch!: 1d4 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21
Miss chance (low is a miss): 1d2 ⇒ 2
Dewberry grab!: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
Dewberry squeeze!: 1d4 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13+ bleed damage: 1d2 ⇒ 2
Miss chance (low is a miss): 1d2 ⇒ 1

Sorry, I could only get Dewberry’s post up before work this morning, since the site was being very slow. Can someone move Lis on the map for me?

Lis flies in to help Dewberry, slamming into the creature.

slam: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
ouch!: 1d4 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

I could be wrong but I do not think that you need to worry about miss chance for your snake (on the grab/constrict) when she has already connected with the bite. Final say goes to the GM but that is my unasked for opinion. ;)

Kronug's earth elemental feels the enemy through the ground and steps forward to slam it.

PA: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 - 1 = 12
low always misses: 1d100 ⇒ 7
damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Kronug then points his bird to attack that same square.

Meanwhile Kronug draws his wand of Cure Light Wounds and moves down to top Dolph off.

UMD DC 20: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Dolph sniffs like a hairless otter, then takes a step back and soundly wallops something with the weapon of his ancestors. Victor bleats victoriously, his horns having made contact with something besides air at last!

@Robyyn - since nobody can "see" Yellow without concealment, it would not trigger any AoOs for standing from prone.

@Sammy - you still get only two move actions each round to "sniff" for other creatures, even if one is adjacent to you. You could ready an action to "detect", but the trigger couldn't be based on visual or olfactory senses. Easiest trigger would be if Xilt got shanked - no sight necessary to notice that one!

Dewberry hisses delightedly as she catches one of the stalkers in her mouth, coils swiftly wrapping around the creature and squeezing tightly. A muffled scream can be heard as something cracks within the constrictor's embrace.

@Lis - How can you tell where the creature Dewberry is attacking is? Deeper darkness also hides the light from produce flame, and snakes are notoriously tight-lipped about where they put their prey.

@Kronug - how can Kronug direct his bird to attack something neither he nor the bird can see?

In the dark, Kronug hears the elemental's stony fists strike the ground even as the elf flails about blindly before almost poking Dolph's eye out with his wand.

What do you do?

Sorry, I thought we knew where that one was! If we can see the yellow one, Lis attacks that one instead.

Unfortunately, none of them can be seen through the deeper darkness.

Lis - You could always summon a creature that can participate without seeing. Good examples are an Earth Elemental or a Dire Bat. Just a thought.

Orst holds his shield up and readies to return a blow if he is struck at.

Sorry, I missed that they negated the daylight spell! Sure, Lis starts casting a second level Summon Nature's Ally for a small earth elemental.

Delaying Robyyn.

Red Reflex, Entangled vs DC 23: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 2 = 26
1d8 ⇒ 4

A loud gasp for air hangs in the darkness, followed by the swishing of weapons and damp footsteps on the ground...

Red Short sword, Invisible vs Victor FF AC 19: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 = 13
Slashing damage, Sneak attack: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (6, 2, 1) = 13

Red Short sword, Invisible vs Victor FF AC 19: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 = 26
Slashing damage, Sneak attack: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (2, 3, 2) = 10

...and Victor bleats in pain as something stabs him in the kidney, leaving a nasty feeling behind! The stalker being lovingly embraced by Dewberry tries to stab the snake in the gut (seeing as how it's right next to them and whatnot)...

Blue Short sword, Invisible vs Dewberry FF AC 24: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9
Slashing damage, Sneak attack: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (6, 5, 4) = 19

...but the blade only slides down the scales instead of underneath them.

Yellow Stabilize vs DC 23: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The cavern is suddenly rocked by an explosion! Though the Pathfinders see no light, the intense heat washes over them...

Fire damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 5) = 9

Robyyn Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Dolph Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Victor Reflex, Evasion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Kronug Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Bird Reflex, Evasion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Elemental Reflex: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 12
Red Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

...and while some of the Pathfinders are able to instinctively dodge the blast, Robyyn, the bird, and the elemental are not so lucky.

What do you do?

Dewberry tries to maintain!

Dewberry maintain!: 1d20 + 14 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 14 + 5 = 34
Dewberry squeeze!: 1d4 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Blue is also taking 1d2 bleed damage each turn.

Lisianthus finishes casting! We have an earth elemental friend!

It attacks the red one next to it.

slam: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
ouch!: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Lisianthus delays.

Kronug's elemental remains standing and takes another swing at the nearby Stalker.

power slam vs red: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 - 1 = 23
low always misses: 1d100 ⇒ 38
damage: 1d6 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 3 = 11

Kronug then takes a moment to listen for unfamiliar footpads.

perception: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (20) + 33 = 53

I think it's DC 40+distance to pinpoint invisible creatures, but your guess on exactly how this works is as good as mine.

Kronug will then shout out directions as best he can, hopefully to at least give his allies a general sense of current positioning before he whistles for his bird's return.

Kronug's raven returns to its master.

Suddenly unable to sniff his target, Dolph heads in the direction of Victor’s bleats of pain, stopping once he hits a wall and notices Victor next to him. He then stops and sniffs about for the offending dark stalker.

Just two move actions I’m afraid. I figure he’s wise enough to know to head in the direction of Victor and would stop when he hits the wall, then sniff

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Victor is quite displeased with this treatment and continues trying to gore the offending foe, attacking in the direction of the last blow he received.

Miss Chance (high is good for me): 1d100 ⇒ 23
Blech, miss
Gore (power attack): 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 - 2 = 12
Damage (pa): 1d4 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 6 = 15

Xilt curses softly as the Dark Stalker escapes his orb.
He steps into the corner looking for cover from the explosion.

If Xilt can take an action to take cover from the explosion he will.

Sammy attempt to slowly climb the back wall to the avoid any unpleasant surprises.

half speed climb up 20'. Take 10 on Climb is 25
