GM Lorenzo's Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path (Inactive)

Game Master Lawrence Smith 2

"Right, right, I'm on my way," Korinne calls back, moving further along the boardwalk towards the boat, while Dragas sheds some light on the subject and Kradel decides to go ahead and take a shot at one of the lurking spiders...
______________

Moved up to the corner, which is probably about all Korinne has time to do before Kradel initiates combat :)

*edit* I see I got ninja'd by the GM so up to you if Korinne can make the move above before Kradel starts combat or not.

Gerry continues to struggle against the locked door even as the sounds of combat renew aboard the derelict ship.

"What the...did they find Lamm?" Gerry looks back to Sora looking for confirmation...

Delay for now.

Viggo would be much happier if he could help Gerry rather than uselessly getting his boots covered in spider guts.

"Gerry, I will be right there."

Proceeding over to the locked door, making sure only to walk where is safe, if Gerry will move aside, Viggo will inspect the lock (first for traps, then to disable).

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Disable Device: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

"Hold on just a second I think I got this."

As Kradel fired his first shot at one of the drain spiders, Korinne was already picking her way carefully along the rickety boardwalk, moving closer to the Kraken's Folly.

Standing outside the small door in the southeast corner of the old fishery, Gerry hears the sounds of battle aboard the derelict vessel and hesitates, thinking about his options.

Viggo swaps places with Gerry, both men keenly aware of the creaking rotten planks of the underpier's boardwalk. The bard examines the door only about 2-1/2ft square. The strange size of the door would make it somewhat awkward for Medium creatures to pass through. (Move action for a Medium creature to pass, unless the creature succeeds at a DC20 Escape Artist check.)

The skilled bard makes opening the lock seem easy.

Donkere, Sora, and Kradel, you're up!

"No, no sign of Lamm yet. Unless perhaps that was what the noise was?" Sora shrugs. "I thought I heard something about spiders, and with Dragas there, I'm sure they'll be fine! I'm going with you and Viggo." She slips past Gerry and leans over Viggo's shoulder. "Hmm. If only half of us are here, best to bolster our chances a little, no? Who knows what's behind door number two." She smiles as she taps his shoulder, delivering some Guidance.

Kradel stays behind the big man, tapping him quickly to transfer some of Torag's guidance to his aim. "Aim small, miss small. Those little suckers are hard to hit!"

Guidance on Dragas and step back 5'

Moves to get onto the boat, keeping his eyes out for anything that might jump on their back line.

Double Move

Sora gives Viggo some always-useful guidance, and inside the aft cabin of the Kraken's Folly, Kradel does the same for Dragas.

Donkere and his musket remain, as ever, focused on the team's backsides.

The diminutive green and red drain spiders scurry forward over their webs and up the wooden steps, sinking their fangs into the big barbarian. The pink one stops at the base of the steps and shoots a web at the man.
Green Bite; Damage; Fortitude DC10 vs Poison: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 121d2 - 5 ⇒ (2) - 5 = -3

Dragas and Korinne are up in Round 1, then Gerry, Donkere, Sora, and Kradel, and Viggo are upon Round 2!

This isn't helping us track down Lamm but at least these spiders won't be a danger to anyone else later.

As a couple of the spiders come racing up on deck Korinne quickly moves up past Donkere and steps onto the rickety boat. Realizing that quarters are going to be rather tight to be using her bow, she stows it and reaches for the scimitar hanging at her side.
______________

As the spiders swarm onto Dragas, feels two sharp pains in his calf muscles as they sink their fangs into him. While he initially thinks nothing, he glances down and notices where the skin is immediately inflamed around one bite wound and he doesn't feel himself. Then, the webbing covers him, impeding him from trying to put the vermin in a disadvantageous position.

Enraged at being bitten and out of patience with the spiders, the barbarian emits a fierce roar as his anger consumes him. He drops his javelin, draws his morningstar and begins to swing wildly at the pair of pests on his legs, trying to squash them into oblivion.

Dragas lets go of the javelin, flies into a rage and then attacks a random spider with his morningstar. (1-3 green, 4-6 red)

Which spider?: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Morningstar: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Gerry's ears perk up as he hears the bellow of rage and involuntarily turns his gaze back towards the noise.

"By the Gods, what the Hells are they doing in there? Lamm is most certainly holed up in HERE!" He mutters to no one in particular.

Delay for now.

Viggo looks at Gerry intently, "Let's go! You first or me!?! Either way I'm not going to let Lamm escape!"

Gerry nods grimly to the bard, "Okay. The others can catch up to us later." He moves up to the door and slowly eases it open. "I'll go first. Don't need you getting stuck here."

Once the door is opened Gerry peers inside looking for any hiding guards, not to mention their quarry.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

The Kraken's Folly

Entangled in the web, the poison from one of the spiders courses through Dragas' veins, sapping the man's strength. STR Damage: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Even weakened by the poison and snared in the webs, the barbarian smashes one of the spiders with his morningstar.

Concerned for her friends, Korinne boards the derelict, determined to help.

Underpier of the Old Fishery

Standing at the small, closed door, Gerry hesitates, but when Viggo encourages the halfling to enter. Gerry opens the portal and peers inside.

Kradel winces as Dragas gets bitten, he shouts back towards the others "Yes, a little help here would be great!" He draws out his 'just for looks' warhammer and steps around the barbarian, swinging at the nearest spider.. sorta.

Warhammer: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 91d8 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

The Kraken's Folly

Entangled in the web, the poison from one of the spiders courses through Dragas' veins, sapping the man's strength. STR Damage: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Even weakened by the poison and snared in the webs, the barbarian smashes one of the spiders with his morningstar.

Concerned for her friends, Korinne boards the derelict, determined to help.

Kradel swings his warhammer at the red spider, nearly kneecapping Dragas.

Underpier of the Old Fishery

Standing at the small, closed door, Gerry hesitates, but when Viggo encourages the halfling to enter, Gerry opens the portal and peers inside.

The air in the large room is chilly and stinks of the river, thanks to a huge opening in the floor that drops away to the river shore three feet below. Several pilings emerge from the waters to support the roof eight feet above the floor, with mossy ropes slung between them. In two places, rusty manacles hang from the ropes over the water. Two five-foot-wide walkways cross the hole to the other side of the chamber, where a collection of old cabinets, lockboxes, and piles of clutter are strewn about. Chipped porcelain plates, a cracked goblet, badly rusted silverware, an old wooden shield with a crossbow bolt embedded in it, the odd dinged helm, and other “treasures” litter the floor of this side of the chamber. Three tables heaped with clutter stand amid this mess. In the southwest corner, a wooden door provides access to a walled-off section.

Gaedren Lamm—a twisted thieving snake, a plague on Korvosa’s forgotten children, and all-around despicable wretch—sits at one of his tables, sorting the previous day’s haul, painstakingly examining, appraising, and cataloging his loot.

An alligator lazes in the water below.

"Ah, Gobblegut, it appears our unwelcome guests have finally decided to introduce themselves properly," the jaundiced and bent corpse of a man says, his eyes yellowed and skin speckled from age. His left leg has a pronounced limp, as he stands and shuffles about. "Come, let's give them a welcome they deserve."

Gaedran Lamm points his masterwork hand crossbow at the alligator and fires a bolt at Gobblegut—the sudden pain drives the cantankerous alligator into a frenzy.

Gerry, Donkere, Sora, and Kradel, and Viggo, you're up!

Gerry will turn to yell at the others, "FOUND 'IM!" He then drops into the room, drawing his blade and pointing it at the object of his rage. "I HAVE YOUR WELCOME RIGHT HERE!"

Move into room, draw blade.

Sora holds her hands up as if she had suddenly become a boxer, her Harrow Deck in a tight fist. "You found him, huh? Finally!"

Is it in the cards? Could it really be so easy that we walk into his Fishery and kill him?

"Go on, Viggo. Get in there. It's time we bring this guy down!" Sora nudges him with a playful jab.

Since he's in front of me and it will affect where I go, I'll act after Viggo does

Viggo uses a move action to gain entry into the hidden office.

With his sword still in his hand Viggo prepares to case a spell at Lamm which will hopefully end his ability to do much beyond stuttering.

"Your last moments are marked Lamm. Remember me? Remember Viggo!?!"

"Arcarum Disorentum Maximum."

Cast Hypnotism DC 13 (Will Save).

HIT DICE: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6
Duration: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2

*Only in range of Gobblegut.

Sora passes through the small door, and makes her way to the west. It's then that she sets her eyes upon Gaedren Lamm, a chill spreading across her body like a frozen spiderweb. It takes her back, for a moment. Back to when she just another Lamm's Lamb, digging pits and hauling dirt, her body aching. Anything for a meal.

But times were different, now, and Sora had come a long way. She shook free of her painful past, and stared Lamm down with all the pain he and his henchmen had delivered. "Lamm... Your days of enslaving and torturing kids are over." She points across the gator pit, shuffling her Harrow Deck in a single hand.

Use Evil Eye (7 rounds) on Lamm, -2 to his AC, with Soothsayer to delay the effect. DC 14 Will reduces to 1 round.

Small as he is in stature, Gerry passes through the small door and draws his blade, eager to stab his long-hated enemy, Gaedran Lamm.

With some difficulty, Viggo follows Gerry inside and casts a spell, hypnotizing the frenzied alligator Gobblegut.

Then, Sora squeezes through the small door, enters the old fishery, and moves along the wall toward Gaedran Lamm. (Two move actions. Evil Eye will have to wait.)

"Hello, old friends. So nice of you to come back to visit us," Gaedran taunts you.

Ranged Attack+PB: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Damage: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

He might miss, but since it is to touch... probably still a miss.

Donkere's musket overshoots his target, the lead slug embedding itself in the derelict's timbers.

The pink drain spider clambers up the wooden steps and attacks Dragas. (Pink provokes an AoO from Dragas)
Both spiders attack the barbarian.

Gobblegut (-1; Fascinated)

Dragas and Korinne, you're up!

In anger, it's almost as if there is nothing left in the world but Dragas and the two drain spiders. With being so tunnel focused, he is more than aware of the spider that shot the webbing clamoring up from the hold to attack him and swings his morningstar just as it reaches the top of the steps.

Rage Tracker: 10/12

AoO:Morningstar (Pink): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Squashing the drain spider flat leaves the barbarian open to another bite from the remaining arachnid. Instead of yelling, Dragas hisses through clenched teeth as he feels the sting of the spider's pincers sink into his flesh again.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Pushing the pain out of his mind, the barbarian brings his right arm up and over, swinging downward with the morningstar to finish off the remaining foe.

Morningstar (Red): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

If both spiders are dead, Dragas drops out of rage as a free action and spends his move action to free himself from being entangled.

Dragas smashes the pink drain spider as it tries to get close enough to bite; however, the red arachnid dodges the barbarian's brazen blow.

Meanwhile, inside the old fishery Gaedren Lamm and his pet alligator seek to add another chapter to our heroes' miserable lives.

Gaedren fires his hand crossbow at Sora. His age has all but crippled him. He’s aware of his flaws and limitations, but his bitter and cruel personality gets the better of his judgment. Remaining away from the edge of the pool, he barks at the alligator, "Gobblegut! Snap out of it, you moron! Take care of these meddling teenagers!"
Mwk hand crossbow; Damage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 201d4 ⇒ 4

Despite Gerry's proximity, naked blade in hand, Gobblegut remains fascinated with Viggo, its predator's eyes fixated on the bard, oblivious to anything else.

Warhammer Aid Attack vs Pink: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17

"Hey, where'd the others run off to? You'd think they'd be helping us find Lamm."

Inside the old fishery, Gerry takes advantage of the alligator's fascination with Viggo to scoot around the west side of the pool, heading for Gaedren.

On board the Kraken's Folly, Kradel has trouble hitting one of the dodgy little spiders.

Viggo moves forward to flank Gaedran Lamm, stopping just short of the villain to cast a quick spell.

"Dazus Magicus!"

Cast Daze (DC 12) at Gaedram Lamm.

Kradel's attack was an aid for Dragas, DC10. He quickly learned from his previous attack that he's not very likely to land a straight attack.

On the heels of his arcane success against Gobblegut, Viggo casts a spell to daze Gaedren. But it doesn't faze the evil old man.

As above, Use Evil Eye (7 rounds) on Lamm, -2 to his AC, with Soothsayer to delay the effect. DC 14 Will reduces to 1 round.

Several planks of the boardwalk give way with a groan and a splintering crack. Donkere splashes into the water below. He bobs to the surface, spewing a mouthful of foul water and then his eyes grow the size of saucers. A jigsaw shark is heading straight for him. The ifrit paddles furiously, barely making it to shore before being eaten alive.

The ifrit heads for home, calling back over his shoulder, "Sorry, guys, I'm not ready for the adventurer's life just yet. Best of luck!"

Inside the Kraken's Folly, the tenacious red spider is as determined as ever to eliminate the threat to its lair. It bites Dragas a third time.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Wasting no time with words, screams or anything, the only thing in the barbarian's tunnel vision rage-filled mind is to end the drain spider's existence.

Morningstar /w Aid: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

"Die!" Dragas roars out before tearing himself free of the webbing that is entangling him as his rage begins to subside.

Korinne also swings her scimitar at the remaining spider even though Dragas seems to be killing it, both in a literal and figurative sense...

Attack vs. Red (Scimitar; Flank?): 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

...and whiffs yet again.

"Gah! And this is why I'd rather stick to using my bow!"
______________

Or if Dragas' above attack is enough to take care of the spider, Korinne will instead take a second to make sure everyone is okay and then hustle back towards the direction the others went. Can those of us on the boat hear the fighting from elsewhere?

Kradel shields his eyes from the spider splatter then calls back to the ifrit "Don't worry, we'll exact revenge as soon as we find Lamm!"

Inside the Kraken's Folly, a battered and bruised Dragas, entangled in the web, fights off the drain spider's venom and splatters the bug against the deck with his morningstar.

(An entangled creature can escape with a successful DC8 Escape Artist check or burst the web with a DC8 STR check. Both are standard actions. Attempts to burst a web by those caught in it take a –4 penalty. Korinne may use her standard action to make a STR check to burst the webs for Dragas, instead of the unnecessary attack.)

Satisfied the barbarian will live, Korinne steps out of the cabin and looks toward the old fishery. She sees the small door at the end of the underpier is open, and she hears the muffled sounds of a scuffle coming from inside the building.

Meanwhile, inside the old fishery, Gaedren Lamm rolls his eyes at his pet alligator, stifles a frustrated growl, and fires a bolt from his hand crossbow at Viggo. Disgusted at his lack of accuracy, he tosses the crossbow to the floor and draws a dagger from his belt.
Mwk hand crossbow; Damage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 121d4 ⇒ 4

"Viggo, I know you! I always thought you’d make a good partner—what say you shiv these other fools for me? The pay’ll be more than fair." Lamm has grown too greedy to give up what is his.

"Gerry, I should have fed you to Gobblegut the moment you showed up snot-nosed on my stoop!" The cantankerous and stubborn old man stands, releasing an outflow of profanity and threats.

“You!" Lamm points at Sora, shouting. "How the hell did you find me?" he asks, angry but genuinely curious.

Gobblegut finally comes out of its fascinated stupor and, reminded of its pain from Lamm's earlier bolt, it thrashes about, churning the murky water in a frenzy. The alligator launches itself toward Sora, needing to vent its rage against someone, anyone. The reptile lunges up out of the water, jaws opening and slamming shut, but it crashes against the wooden floor and flops back into the water.

"Maybe it'll be easier for you to do it, I'm heading down towards that short door."

Wasted standard action then 20' move towards the action.

"Get your leathery face away from me," Sora balks. "Oh, I was talking about you, not the gator," she sneers at Lamm as she pushes past Viggo, taking out her light crossbow.

"Nevermind how I found you. You should probably be more concerned with how you might leave here in one piece, because by the looks of it, you're outnumbered. Aaaaaand we've got a couple more friends showing up real soon. Now you'll be the one blending rotten fish for whatever is left of your miserable life."

Move and another move action to take out a weapon because of that 0 BAB.

Viggo moves forward and takes a double-handed grip on his longsword.

"Luck's a fickle mistress! Your time has run out Lamm!"

Round #3 Redo

With the threat of the spiders now ended, Korinne quickly turns her attention to trying to break Dragas out of the web he's stuck in.

Web Rip - Str (DC 8): 1d20 ⇒ 1

But somehow, these webs are super strong!

"Are these webs or are these actually rope!?"

Round #4

Able to faintly hear the sounds of something happening elsewhere, Korinne tries yet again to free Dragas from the webs...

Web Rip - Str (DC 8): 1d20 ⇒ 13

...and finally manages to do it!

"There we go! Now come on, I think something's happening back inside the fishery," she calls as she hurries back off of the boat and back onto the boardwalk.

On her second try, Korinne manages to burst the webs entangling Dragas, then she heads for the old fishery, Kradel on her heels, before the dwarf overtakes her.

Inside the old fishery, Viggo calls upon his luck and stabs his longsword into the hated crime lord, triggering Sora's evil eye, which puts a hex on the old codger's ability to defend himself.

With his rapier, Gerry gets a taste of revenge against Lamm, too.

Sora draws her crossbow and moves behind Viggo and closer to Gaedren, ready to load a bolt and fire it into the object of her hatred.

(Move action for a Medium creature to pass through the small, unlocked but closed door in the southeast corner of the old fishery's lower level, unless the creature succeeds at a DC20 Escape Artist check.)

Dragas, you're up!

Dragas staggers, a combination of the drain spider's potent venom and the energy that his rage seemed to take from his angry and stubborn will. Trying to catch his breath, he sheathes his morningstar and then picks up his javelin where he dropped it and stows it away.

"Go on. I'll catch up in a moment," he says after Korrine and Kradel.

Dragas uses his move actions to stow his weaponry and has the Fatigued condition for six rounds.

On board the Kraken's Folly, a battered and bruised, tired and damaged Dragas gathers his weapons, preparing to follow his friends back to the battle raging in the old fishery.

Cornered like a rat in its lair and seeing an opening, Gaedren Lamm slashes at Gerry with his dagger. "Hold still, you little shit!"

"Yer PET is not gonna be able to save you Lamm!" Gerry bellows as he steps aside and thrusts again at Lamm! His next strike is hurried and off to the side.

Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8; damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Encouraged by his success thus far, Viggo is inspired to taunt Lamm in what he believes will be the last moment of the criminal's life.

"Do you remember when you ordered Vincenti's death for failing on that job? Well you have failed today Lamm and I have come to give Lady Luck her due payment!"
