GM Deneve's The Fall of Plaguestone (PFS 2e) (Inactive)

Game Master redeux

Simon will Stride thrice.

"What's going on with the blight? Are you causing this?"

(@Gamble, moved you.)

As Gamble enters, his eyes try to adjust to the lighting. Thankfully the cavern is well-lit, even if the tunnel is not. It feels slightly hot inside the tunnel as he tries to see the orcs inside.

Simon gets a closer view of what the orcs were working on; tables covered with actively cooking reagents, half-finished alchemical items, and other dangerous equipment. The cauldrons slowly simmer and bubble.

The orcs don't respond to Simon's question as the red-splattered orc —thanks to Deerslicer's constant assault— rushes forward howling and takes cover behind a rock formation.

I go after Sinan, so if he's going to do any healing it'll be before the following. If he does something other than healing, I'm doing this anyway.

Deerslicer darts into the room. He barrel rolls across the floor, trying to vanish behind one of the rocky outcroppings.

Action 1: Stride. Action 2: Stride. Action 3: Hide. Stealth secret check w/ cover, +9 (+11 vs. black-clad orc from Outwit)

Anybody know if there are rules for sniping from cover in 2E? I assume it's basically just using 2 actions, Strike and then Hide again, while in cover.

Oh, I'm totally healing first

Sinan calls to the skies above as a few trickles of sunlight find his goblin friend. "Thank you." he says to the skies as he moves into the cavern, sword in hand, ready to fight.

(2 action heal on Deerslicer, Stride)

Healing: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Trailing rays of sunlight from the tunnel's entrance caress Deerslicer and help him forget his pain before taking cover behind a small boulder. (+9 hp, Standard cover for Deerslicer's size)

The orange leather clad orc strides forward, a wicked amber colored flask in his hand when he turns around and sees Deerslicer nearby, he hastily throws the flask in the direction of Sinan and Simon, the flask shattering on the floor several feet from them and exploding into coils of crackling blue-white electricity! (Miss) His companion, the black leather clad orc does the same, almost runs into his companion, but manages to send a bright fiery colored liquid in Simon's direction. (Rolled a 26, 5 fire damage to Simon, 1 persistent to Simon and 1 splash to Simon and Sinan) As the tongues of flame envelop the young man and his priestly mentor, both orcs immediately head deeper into the cave.

Simon will step back behind the rocks so that none of them have line of sight. Pulling out a water flask, he attempts to douse himself.

Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 14

"We shouldn't let them get more reinforcements," Gamble says as he follows the orc into the cave. He strikes at the black garbed orc.

Longsword, IC: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 = 20
S, IC: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Simon puts himself out away from the seeking eyes of the enemy while Gamble heads into the darkness and strikes at the orc in front of him! (-3 hp) As the steel meets his flesh, he madly tries to stab Gamble back with his ugly looking dagger, but in his panic only mildly knicks Gamble. Seeing no other way, he runs away from his enemy.

"Kill him!", he yells as he runs away!

(Seeing the map, Gamble actually is attacking the red garbed orc)

Shortbow damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Reminder, in addition to our cover, both Gracie & I get +1 AC versus the black-clad orc.

The red blood speckled orc grunts as the arrow takes him at the side. He growls in the direction of Deerslicer.

Sinan shakes his head as he moves into the group of orcs, his sword dancing in front of him. "Normally, I would seek to redeem your poor, wretched soul," the priest says in orcish. "but you decided to team up on my friend. And that I do not tolerate."

Anger and fire darting in his eyes, Sinan slashes at the black clad orc and follows it up by casting a shield of light.

(Stride, Strike, Cast Shield)

Scimitar: Dawn's Light: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Sinan's sword clashes against the rock pillar the orc is next to, the creature having stepped aside to let Sinan's blade swing by. The shimmering shield of force reflects itself on 7 foot tall creature's eyes as it roars in defiance, moves towards the boiling cauldron and tosses a fiery orange flask at Sinan!

As the flask shatters on impact, it burns the priest and covers him in small flames as the ogre produces a half smile and draws his dagger. (4 fire damage, 1 splash, Persistent Fire 1)

The orange clad orc tosses two flasks at Sinan, both miss their mark, but manage to splash him with more flames, as the priest of the Dawnflower's clothes catch on fire and electricity stings his hand.
(1 electricity splash, 1 fire splash)

Simon moves up and takes cover behind the large rock. He looks at the cauldrons - can they be tipped over?

(Yes, they can with a Shove action, DC 15. The liquid would affect any creature in the square the cauldron was emptied with whatever the contents of the cauldron are.)

"Sounds like a plan, Gracie. I'll go this way, and you go that way!" Gamble says to the bear before he sets off after the orc. He is momentarily taken aback as Sinan on fire comes into view. "Sinan?"

He swings his blade twice at the red-garbed orc.

Stride, Strike, Strike

Gamble's blade cuts deep! (7 damage) The cuts are vicious as the orc gives out a battle cry and strikes at Gamble with a furious flurry of flickering dagger cuts!

Feeling the life bleeding out of him, the orc's face becomes fiercer under the flaming illumination Sinan provides as it blindly grabs a flask from the nearby table...

Glancing at his burning raiment, Sinan approaches the two orks that threw alchemical agents at him. "Fire. You attack an agent of the Dawn with fire and lightning." he says in orcish. "You are truly beyond redemption."

The priest's eyes fill with flame and his fiery shield expands to engulf the orcs (Orange and Black. Can't seem to get all 3).

(Stride, 2 action cast)

Burning Hands Fire Damage (DC 17): 2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9

Kunsheng strides forward to just behind one of the boulders in the chamber, reloading his sling and sending a bullet in the general direction of the red orc.

Sling to red, incl. IC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 = 13

Stride-Interact (load)-Strike

(@Sinan,I'll need a flat check DC 15 to see if the persistent fire stops burning you)

The orcs try to duck as Sinan's hands burst with flames! The orange orc rises his hands to protect his face as the cone of orange fire engulfs him! (9 fire damage) The black garbed orc fares better as he ducks away from the worst of the flame, yet he still gets his back charred. (4 fire damage)

Kunsheng's bullet goes flying into the red blod splattered orc, but despite making him grunt from the impact as it strikes his leathered arm, it doesn't seem to do any damage. (Miss)

Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 16

"Ah! These orcs hit hard!" Gamble calls out and then shields his own eyes as the cavern momentarily blooms with Sinan's fires.

"Get 'im, Gracie!" Deerslicer yells. Gracie lumbers forward, biting at the orc in red.

Gracie bite attack, inspired: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 = 11
Gracie bite damage, inspired: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11

Deerslicer fires at the orange-clad orc, then ducks back behind the cover.

Shortbow attack on orange, inspired: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 1 = 18
Shortbow damage on orange, inspired: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Action 1: Command Animal: Stride, Strike (bite). Action 2: Strike (shortbow). Action 3: Take Cover

Gracie has no luck piercing the orc's leathers (Miss) and even Deerslicer's himself, as his arrow lodges itself on his target's back, perhaps no more than an inch, as he's distracted by Sinan's flames. (2 piercing damage) The flames die out naturally from Sinan's burnt clothes. (Persistent Fire Damage over)

The orange orc, burned and left raw by Sinan removes a dark green flask from his bandolier and throws it at the priest! It shatters against him and acid flows into his wounds! (1 Persistent Acid Damage, 1 Splash) The flask has just shattered as the orange garbed orc takes out a pale yellow flask from another bandolier strap and tosses it to the priest! The flask shatters on the floor and splashes Sinan with just a jolt of electricity (1 electricity splash damage)

The black clad orc brings his hands to his bandolier near his legs, draws two dark green flasks and throws one at Gamble, and the other at Kunsheng!

"Take this!", he yells in triumph. The flask strikes the column by Gamble! His armor takes most of the damage, keeping him safe from the acid, yet Gracie howls in pain as she's splashed with some of the acidic substance and it eats away at her fur! (1 splash damage, Gracie & Gamble)

Kunsheng fares no better as the flask strikes him and the substance immediately burns his skin! (1 splash damage, 2 Persistent Acid Damage)

The red orc smiles wickedly at Gamble. "Now you burn, paleflesh!"

Simon runs up to the Black orc.

"Hey!" he yells, as he stabs Black in the chest.

Rapier: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Piercing: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Then he runs behind the purple cauldron.

'Stings, eh, Gracie?" Gamble says. "Well, Sinan will make it all just a memory once we put these orcs down. They've got bottles of fire and lightning, but we've got steel, ya?"

He thrusts the point of his blade toward the red-garbed orc and then arcs the blade in an overhand chop.

Lingering Performance (free), Cast (V): inspire courage, Strike, Strike

Performance vs. DC 16: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 4 rounds

If the first Strike killed it, can replace 2nd strike with casting Shield.

The black leathered orc gives a gasp as the rapier pierces his chest. Wild eyed, he sees Simon rush back to cover

"Coward, I will see you bleed," he gasps as he strains for breath (6 piercing damage).

As the orc sword cuts through the bleeding red orc's armor, his eyes roll back and through sheer will he stands up howling gibberish! (Ferocity)It rises drooling and screaming nonsense into Gamble's face as spittle rains on the man. Gamble's sword falls upon the creature again and he falls growling, his hand reaching out to grab onto Gamble's boot as his chest stops moving. (Red is dead)

Deerslicer motions toward the orange one. "Get 'im, Gracie!"

Gracie lumbers over toward the orange one and bites.

Gracie bite damage, inspired: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

Deerslicer fires two shots at the black-clad orc.

Focused on the priest in front of him, the orange garbed orc catches from the corner of his eye the small bundle of angry bear that rushes at him and takes a bite at his leg! (6 Piercing Damage)

Between seeing the blood covered orc fall down only to be cut down by Gamble again and the commotion of his ally by the sudden bear attack, the black leathered orc does not see Deerslicer take aim at him until it's too late! The first arrow enters deep, the shaft embedded in his chest(5 Piercing Damage) as the second arrow misses its mark and shatters one of the nearby flasks on the table! (Miss)

With experience borne of long hours in alchemical labs, the Tien reflexively wipes the corrosive fluid from his side. He steps up, loads his sling again, and tries to take down the orange orc.

Sling to orange, incl. inspiration: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 = 15
Damage, if applicable, incl. inspiration: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Step-Interact (load)-Strike

Kunsheng's bullet misses and breaks a beaker behind the orc. (Miss) Eyes blazing, and with his bandolier empty of weapons, the orange garbed orc eyes the table, grabs yellow hued flask and downs it (+5 hp) before taking another flask this one a fiery red hue.

The black orc strides over to the table in the back, grabs a fiery red colored flask and tosses it at Simon! The young man's clothes erupt in flames! (1 splash damage, 1 Persistent Fire)

"I did not say you could leave," Sinan barks at the black clad orc. The priest knows full well how dire his circumstances are, but refuses to allow the orc to continue trying to attack his friends.

"Alright, I really think we've had enough of this!" Gamble says as he strikes over to the counter and hops onto it. He chops his sword down at the refreshed, orange garbed orc. "This is a battle of attrition you will lose."

Stride, Leap (vertical), Strike

Simon ducks behind the purple vat, faking some groaning noises.

Mechanically, he's Hiding. Stealth +8 vs Orc's Perception DC.

Although he's on fire, he moves up besides the vat (difficult terrain due to it being narrow?) and pops up to throw a dagger at the Black Orc.

Hide-Sneak-Strike[ooc]

[Ooc]I believe if the Hide is successful, this should be a sneak attack, but the Orc gets cover.

Dagger (thrown): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 vs FF?

sneak?: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Eyeing the cleric of the Dawnflower heal himself and approach (+7 hp), the black garbed orc readies himself. As the blade comes down towards him, he sidesteps the blade, parries it with his vicious crooked dagger and guffaws in Sinan's face as the scimitar cuts through empty air and strikes the edge of the table behind him. (Miss) His laughter is cut short as a dagger sails past the cauldron next to him and slams into his back! (5 Piercing Damage) The blow itself would have brought it down if not for the creature's tenacity to live and wring the life out of that cowardly human!

As the black clad orc swears revenge on Simon, Gamble's blade cuts down the orange clad orc (9 Slashing Damage), but even with such a terrible blow, the orc clenches his fists, snaps his mouth rapidly and growls as he remains standing with sheer determination!

Both orcs howl, their gazes staring into nothingness!

(Both the Black and Orange orc uses their Ferocity Reaction. Both are at 1 hp from dying. Wounded condition goes up to 2. Simon, the orc easily sees you coming, so no sneak attack. He isn't flanked mechanically, but that roll is still a hit!)

Gracie bite damage, inspiration: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11

Deerslicer watches. If the orc goes down, he scurries back to retrieve his kukri ... If not, he moves and fires again.

Shortbow attack 1, inspired: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13
Shortbow damage, inspired: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Shortbow damage, inspired: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The orc maddened and dulled with pain doesn't feel Gracie come in and attack him from behind. The young bear manages to pull the orc down, mauling away at him, not with hate or hunger, but because otherwise the rest of group would be in danger.

Deerslicer's arrow takes the orc in the throat and ends his misery. From the northwest, just past a set of stairs you see and hear two double doors closing. You, can just make out the shape of another large orc.

Simon (-11 hp)
Kunsheng (-3 hp)

Kunsheng takes another two vials from his bandolier. "Sinan and Gamble, these are for you. They are minor elixirs of life."

There's another orc on this side of the closed doors, or we see an orc going through the doors and closing them behind itself? Am I able to designate it as my prey?

Deerslicer scurries back to where he dropped his kukri. He motions for Gracie to stand near the hallway to stand sentry. "Growl if you see, smell, or hear any'tin comin' for us!" She has low-light vision and Scent(imprecise) 30 feet. Perception+4

I don't know that we want to do a full 10 minute Search activity if we saw someone fleeing. I do have Perception+8, though, if there's something obvious in this room that I'd have a chance to notice that's worth investigating. I assume Kunsheng will look at the vats of chemicals and potions and stuff in here.

Deerslicer moves down to the door on the southern part of the room and looks through it, to try to see where it leads, or if there are any enemies on the other side.

"Thank you," Gamble says to Kunsheng and quickly drinks the elixir. "We probably ought to go after that orc that got away."

Minor Elixir of Life: 1d6 ⇒ 5

If we take 10 minutes, Simon can use Treat Wounds.

If we don't, Simon can use Battle Medicine on anyone who hasn't had it today.

With silent thanks, Sinan downs the elixir and looks around at his bruised and battered friends.

Minor Elixir of Life: 1d6 ⇒ 5

"You're right Gamble. They'll just bring more. Let's take a moment to see what they were doing here. It might help us to better prepare for the inevitable counter-attack."

With that, he says a silent prayer to his goddess an light bathes the chamber to mend some of the wounds of Sinan's friends.

Mass Heal: 1d10 ⇒ 7
