"Hold fast there, Rout, or preferably come back down," Pyotr calls up. Without joining in the climb, he tries to tend to the goblin's ailments from a distance.

1st-level Soothe: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

"Bah! Another one should do the trick."

Soothe: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Upon returning to Melcat's Folly, the man listens to Narsen's latest. "I'd be surprised if we ran into any issues big enough to give us pause. My thanks for your help, and best of luck at the bargaining table."

As the priest leaves, he mulls over what was said to Lotte. Could it have been an inside joke, a poor, naive attempt to motivate, a veiled threat perhaps?

Pyotr's magic helps relieve the goblin of his bleeding.

Rout thanks Pyotr for his healing.

Aloysius openly shares the old ring he found in the wall of Fort Agate.

"I don't want other eyes to see this, lest it result in heartache for someone," Aloysius explains, eyeing the citizens within the inn carefully to ensure secrecy. "It would seem that Fort Agate held a few secrets."

Rout looks at the ring. Something crosses his face and he pulls a folded piece of paper out of his pocket. Rout found this. Looks like treasure map.

Going with the plan of cleaning first, Victus will team up with someone and clean one of the areas.

Victus heads back to town and teams up ____. They hire 2 aids and head back to Fort Agate. Victus will spend his time cleaning the Great Hall. He spends his time collecting pieces of broken masonry and pieces of wood. The poop is also collected and he begins working on scrubbing the walls and floor to remove any mold that has collected.

At night time the team will return to the Inn, and after a night's rest Victus will return with the group to continue their cleaning.

"Oh my..." Aloysius murmurs at the map offered by Rout. "A route to buried treasure. Hmm. I wonder what this signifies." He traces the map with his dainty finger.

GM, any rolls that would reveal more info here?

Random d20 Roll: 1d20 ⇒ 6 Highly unlikely with that roll.

"Oh my..." Aloysius murmurs at the map offered by Rout. "A route to buried treasure. Hmm. I wonder what this signifies." He traces the map with his dainty finger.

GM, any rolls that would reveal more info here?

[dice=Random d20 Roll]1d20 Highly unlikely with that roll.

It's just a couple Treasure Bundles, probably indicating something the Society will follow up on in the future.

Putting together some teams of villagers, who seem eager to work for good coin, the Pathfinders make good headway cleaning the fort. Victus and Aloysius clear out much of the detritus mucking up the great hall, while Rout and Erevan trim back the overgrowth dominating the approach road and Khunbish and Pyotr make the courtyard more presentable than it's been in decades. The villagers mostly keep to themselves, but they work well and make the otherwise daunting task far lighter.

With the great hall clean, clearing the caved-in stairway blocking entry to the dungeons looks like a more manageable task, as does fixing the collapsed stairs to the roof. The failings of the outer walls, including the front gate, are laid bare by the newly cleared approach road, but such repairs would require a hefty supply of stone, which Narsen evidently did not provide you. If that teetering watchtower were to be demolished, however, you should be able to salvage all the stone you need.

Getting some of the more menial work out of the way, Khunish surveys the area and realises that some specialists would need to be brought in. Before even more villagers come traipsing round the area to notice anything untoward, he decides to get work first on the whisper lilies.

Could I use Guidance on this? If so +1
Nature: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Pyotr starts out his cleaning duties with liberal use of prestidigitation. However, he quickly runs out of surfaces the cantrip would have much effect on, or can't find any in the open courtyard. At that point, he heaves out a massive, exaggerated sigh and deigns to use his hands. He doesn't seem inept with them, but very reluctant to look like he's putting in effort.

The next day, he seeks out Junissa Yovitch shortly after his early rising and massive breakfast. "I hope the morning finds you well! Pray tell, are you ready to show us bigshots a thing or two about your craft? Because I think the masked fellow made some good choices in hired help." He smiles, gesturing out the window to the looming Fort Agate. The watchtower likely isn't visible from Melcat's Folly. "I'm sure there will be some mundane, if quite specialized, tasks down the road we're paving. Ones better suited to those who have spent their lives honing the technique in question. Namely, controlled demolition. I don't quite recall if I've ever tried my hand there. But even if I had, I wouldn't trust myself to do so. In fact, I'd feel much less likely to be buried under tons of improperly-disturbed rock with you at the helm."

GM and Khunbish, I would like to award my promotional Hero Point to Khunbish in order to allow him to reroll that check involving the Whisper Lillies.

Aloysius spends the first day cleaning the great hall along a contingent of townsfolk. Aloysius makes sure to be kind and courteous to the servants of the village that he's specifically asked to be placed with on work detail.

"I think I've never felt dirtier," Aloysius announces to the gathered party at Melcat's Folly, "and since I'm in this state, I might as well as continue. In for a copper, in for a gold, as they say." Despite the words, the young man looks well made up, his face prettied and subtly painted.

Aloysius proposes taking his same work contingent to the ruined barracks and cleaning there. He eyes the Hellknight-in-training carefully, then utters a short sentence meant only for his ears.

"Έχουμε δουλειά να κάνουμε. Θα συμμετάσχετε μαζί μας;?"

I have put the language being used in Victus' spoiler, if you'd like to know what language is being spoken.

Thanks!

Nature: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Victus is pleased with the cleaning work that has been done, and he begins envisioning what the Fort will look like with repairs.

During the next day preparations he is a bit shocked to hear such a language spoken outside of Nidal. He responds
"Η εμπειρογνωμοσύνη μου είναι απαραίτητη στο παρατηρητήριο, αλλά θα χαρώ να σας βοηθήσω το συντομότερο δυνατό."

Victus hires 3 NPC's to asst him for the day and will attempt to assist with the controlled demolition of the watch tower. Victus's crafting experience thus far has mostly been in repairing his shield, "But it can't be that hard, can it?" he asks as he tries to assist.

Expert Crafitng: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 hero point if Junissa Yovitch from Pyotr's party does not pass.

If they finish the task sooner for some reason Victus and his team would assist Aloysius for the remainder of the day.

GM and Khunbish, I would like to award my promotional Hero Point to Khunbish in order to allow him to reroll that check involving the Whisper Lillies.

Fair enough, but why don't you hold onto it for now. I realized that we've reached the "1-hour mark," and I was going to award a Hero Point to Khunbish anyway for having the greatest impact against the midges. He can use that GM Hero Point for the reroll he posted, and you can hold onto yours for another day.

Khunbish takes a day off from manual labor and wanders the perimeters of the keep and the village. He notices several gardens hosting regular lily flowers, perfect places to hide the magical plants where they can grow in camouflage. He discretely plants Venture-Captain's Smine's bulbs, leaving the gardens seemingly untampered.

Pyotr flatters the stonemason boarded at the inn, who takes a long drag on her ale as he describes the job. She sighs and speaks in a surprisingly gravelly voice. "That's why I'm here, id'n it? Will say you lay the honey on nice. Must be an outsider thing. I think I can help you knock your wall down or whatever."

Aloysius and Rout set to work clearing out the barracks, making similarly short work of clearing out the junk and offal as they did before. Victus learns just how hard it is to demolish a watchtower, struggling to lead his cohort of workers to safely chip away at the load-bearing stone. The tower leans even more precariously, but remains standing. Failure means only 2 work-days.

Waiting on final actions and checks from Erevan and Pyotr, who can certainly hire the stonemason if he wants to work on the tower as well (don't forget that hiring an NPC who has a particular specialty that is in the task’s requirements allows you to add your level as a proficiency bonus to the associated skill check, even if you are untrained, and you gain a +2 circumstance bonus on the check. All other documents are up to date.

Pyotr mentally tuts at his beautiful wordplay being so casually reduced. But this is the price he pays for working with down-to-earth folk. "Yes, we might as well get it out of the way. At your leisure, though; mornings are to be savored."

When Junissa is ready, Pyotr brings her and anyone or anything she needs to the Fort, payment in hand. He watches her work with great interest.

So this check uses my ability modifier (+2 Int in this case)? I'll go with that for now.

Crafting (level+Int+2): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

With no further posts, Erevan will excavate the stairs.

Pyotr and Junissa make good work of dismantling the rest of the watchtower, which tumbles apart in a way that maintains the integrity of the great stone blocks used to construct it. Erevan rounds up a posse of his own and sets to work clearing the dungeon stairs.

Day 2 Complete!

Victus: 2 days collapse tower
Aloysius: 4 days clean barracks
Khunbish: plant whisper lilies
Pyotr: 4 days collapse tower
Rout: 4 days clean barracks
Erevan: 4 days excavate stairs below great hall

Cost: 4 gp (hire villagers, stay at inn)

You may now post your actions for Day 3!

With the watchtower down and a fresh batch of stone supplies ready, Erevan inspects the well and hires villagers to help in repairing it. "No telling how deep this goes, be careful now."

Crafting DC 15: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 = 23

Victus hires 3 locals, and helps Erevan with the well. "The stones are heavy, let's help get you some extra hands."
Crafting for well dc 15: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

If Victus is only needed for half the day then he'll spend the second half of the day working on the main gate. "Let's replace the main Gate. The old one rotted away but we can still make use of the old posts"

i don't know if we use the first check or a new one, so i'll put a new one under spoiler in case.

After a couple days cleaning, Rout looks to use his muscles a bit and sets to excavating the stairs.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

"We'll soon have this town shining from all corners," Pyotr chuckles as he observes Junissa at work. "No more quaint hamlet, but perhaps we can leave some of those elements. They have their appeal, don't you think?" Though he expects the mason to agree verbally, he hopes to instead get her talking honestly about her grievances. Not a likely proposition. He notifies the others as the day winds down. "Treat her with care, nothing too snobby or humble either. Maybe ask her where she usually works next time we hire her."

Spoiler open.

Before going about his business for the new day, he goes to sniff out the innkeeper's son Wilfred. "Up for a job within the next few days, I hope," he says with a smile. Internally, he is unhappy when not using speech so flowery as to choke someone with a pollen allergy. "Some stairs in the Fort aren't up to snuff, and I've heard you'd be the man for the job once they're clear."

With the stairs a day or two away from being a concern, Pyotr goes to tackle the barracks. Or rather, oversee his hired man do so. Much more of a textbook Ulfen than the current one: he has decent muscles and is scruffy all over, but for a bit of baby face. He was never seen on the boat, but takes to repairs with a vengeance.

Crafting (Hireling) to Repair the Barracks: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Aloysius spends the day with Bessama, Matthild, and Sylvina away from Fort Agate, tending to well-tested cleaning supplies in preparation for another hearty few days of scouring the fort.

"...of course, my mother found things for me to do around the house due to my breathing difficulties," the slight man explains to Matthild as he scrubs cleaning rags with a pumice stone, "but there's only so much that the town would stand. They insisted upon my servitude in the military, and I was just not going to bend that easily, so I ran away. It must be different for you here in Razmiran. It seems as if you're all well-suited and chosen for your roles..."

Aloysius lets his words trail off as he looks about the three women's faces for notable reactions.

"Of course, the Pathfinder Society provided me training and support when I couldn't rely on anyone else, not even my home country."

Oh yeah....laying it on thick and trying to seek out any potential liaisons.

Diplomacy Check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Khunbish sees the restoration work going on and is pleased he brought along a carpenter, even if quite an inexperienced one. He joins Pyotr and spends his time directing the hireling to restore the barracks.

crafting, hireling: repair barracks DC15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Day 3 Complete!

Erevan: 4 days repair the well
Victus: 2 days repair the well, 1 day replace the main gate
Rout: 4 days excavate the stairs below the great hall
Pyotr: 6 days repair the barracks
Aloysius: Make and Impression on Bessama, Matthild, and Sylvina
Khunbish: 4 days repair the barracks

Cost: 4 gp (hire villagers, stay at inn)

The Pathfinders lead a largely productive day, completing the well, clearing out some more of the stairs, noticeably progressing toward fixing the barracks, and beginning to assemble some sizable wooden crossbeams for the gate. Pyotr starts to touch base with the innkeeper's son, who he finds whittling in the shed behind the Melcat's Folly. He doesn't look up as the Ulfen talks to him, but snorts snidely as Pyotr offers the job. "Stairs just beams set higher 'n higher. Na too hard, but if'n you outsiders need help then I'm happy to take yer coin. Bet Bessama could do just as good, adled elf brain or na." He mutters passive-aggressively "Na that you'd notice, damn heathens."

Aloysius spends the day socializing with the two non-human servants, as well as the wisewoman. All three of them respond positively to Aloysius. Matthild sighs as the envoy talks about being well-suited or chosen for their roles. "Well the role I chose was a trapper in the River Kingdoms, but the slavers who scooped me up and sold me here didn't really think I was well-suited for that. I grew up believing 'slavery is an abomination,' but abominations seem well-suited for this hellhole."
Bessama smiles as Aloysius smooths her out, initially responding very hesitantly to his diplomatic overtures. Clearly she has been treated abusively by her employers for a while now. Her smile, though, is...hard to describe. It's not quite hopeful, and a little unnerving. "And now you get to see the world. I bet your family was crushed when you fled. I'd like to have seen their faces. Maybe I'll be a Pathfinder someday. I'd love to see the Mayars' faces when I returned with swords and mages and burned their rotten inn to the ground." She gazes off into a daydream Aloysius suspects he'd rather not be privy to.
Sylvina nods soberly in response to Aloysius's story, absently petting one of her rats. "Well, we all have to make choices when people tell us where to go, what to do, who to worship. Some of those choices are easier than others, some are safer than others, and all have consequences. All we can do is choose the bend in the river, and deal with the waters we can't see when they come into view."

You may now post your actions for Day 4!

Perception Check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Aloysius reports back to his colleagues on the evening of Day 3 with a sly smile.

”I think we’ve got some sympathetic ears in those on the heads of Matthild, Bessama, and Sylvina. We will be returning to the keep today to try to help further excavate the stairs. I will pass the three of them one of the coins given to us by Venture-Captain Barun. I think they’ll all enjoy the trinket.”

Aloysius can help excavate (or rather, direct Chall to do so), or he can help repair the gate (again, Chall), with his work crew - wherever he is needed. He will pass the three ladies the tokens during the work day.

Perception Check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Aloysius can help excavate (or rather, direct Chall to do so), or he can help repair the gate (again, Chall), with his work crew - wherever he is needed. He will pass the three ladies the tokens during the work day.

During the day, Aloysius shares words with the two servant-girls.

”I feel similarly to you both about servitude: there’s no guarantee that you will be taken care of, just one that you’ll be taken advantage of. That’s why I do what I do within the Society: I make sure that those working for and with our organisation get taken care of -“ here, the willowy young man offers Bessama a sharp look - “or get taken care of what they need taken care of.”

Victus hires 3 more villagers and hope they don't notice his poor planning from the day prior. Today he comes prepared with a paper copy of his plans to repair the gate. "Okay crew, let's continue yesterday's work! I'll help craft the doors but need hands to carry the materials"

Crafting for Main Gate DC 18: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Day 3:

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Pyotr won't take this lying down. Later during the day, he takes a break from overseeing work in the barracks. Not far from Melcat's Folly, he finds a secluded place to make a friend. He still tries to keep it relatively covert.

He and a rather nondescript Razmiri priest, at least a rank or two beneath Narsen, walk the rest of the way to the inn. Pyotr tries to maneuver him into having a talk with Wilfred. With the priest's authority, he hopes to make it take place somewhere he can at least hear, and preferably see.

"It has come to our attention your cordiality has been lacking to our honored guests," the priest says sternly, but without much hostility. "The victim of your bad manners hasn't lodged a complaint, and is being polite about it. We know nonetheless. This will go unpunished, but cannot continue. Good relations are essential and will not be jeopardized by one man being a lout. I hope you will take to this task as your peers have, and follow their directions as you would Holy Razmir! I hope there are no questions regarding something so simple." With that, he walks off, and, when he is a good distance away and out of sight, disappears.

Day 4:

Pyotr gets up earlier than usual to seek out Wilfred. "I think I'll be taking you up on that helpful offer. Those stairs will need a master's touch." Throughout the day, he takes notes on the man's work and dithers about.

Crafting (Wilfred) to Rebuild Collapsed Stairs: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Hero Point: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Woo!

Erevan once again gathers some able workers and continues in repairing the barracks. "Your armies will have the best barracks once we're through with this one. Let's see, this spot would be good for a training ground..."

Crafting: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 = 13

Not sure if Erevan's failed check means no progress or partial. If no progress, Khunbish will also try. If there was partial progress and it is completed, he'll excavate the stairs below great hall instead.

Seeing the progress made to the barracks. Khunbish nods in agreement when Pyotr decides to head off to recruit a specialist for the more challenging tasks. Erevan's help is welcomed while he continues to supervise his hireling to finish up the job, but Irves, now rather restless, proves to be a distraction.

crafting, hireling: repair barracks DC15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Rout takes a break from clearing the stairs and watches the progress on the barracks. He takes a look at his assistant Qoldog, shakes his head and heads off into town to the cooperage and knocks on the door.

If Braderock answers he says, Have lot of work for you out at the Fort. We Pathfinders, lots of tough people like me. Safe place to work. Pays well. Other people from town already making lots of gold.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Hero Point:
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Redirecting Khunbish to Aloysius's secondary action since Aloysius tackled the stairs first. Junissa and Braderock are both available so you can do that work. @Rout: You can socialize with 2 other villagers during the day; you don't have to reroll, just choose who you want to talk to.

Day 4 Complete!

Aloysius: 4 days excavate the stairs below the great hall; delivered Envoy's Alliance tokens to Bessama and Matthild
Erevan: 2 days repair the barracks
Victus: 4 days replace the main gate
Pyotr: 2 days rebuild collapsed stairs
Khunbish: 2 days replace the main gate
Rout: Make and Impression on Braderock, ???, and ???

Cost: 4 gp (hire villagers, stay at inn)

Both servants respond quietly to Aloysius's offer for Fola Barun's tokens, the halfling with a serious silent nod, and the half-elf with an unsettling smile beneath dispassionate eyes. Victus and Khunbish lead a more productive day for laying out the crossbeams for the gate, while Erevan finishes the barracks, even filling the cots with new animal fur bedding (you may now comfortably sleep in the keep without making a camp). Pyotr's work is inhibited somewhat by his side shenanigans: his illusion works swimmingly, and a pale, quiet Wilfred dutifully shows up for work without complaint, starting at the Ulfen's every direction. Meanwhile, the goblin takes a day to better know the locals, having a productive chat with the local carpenter. "Yup, sure looks like you Pathfinders know what yer doin'. More business than I usually get, which is always nice. Well, the coin is nice. The work is hard. But it pays!"

You'll still get to post actions for Day 5, but first you'll have to explore the newly-accessible dungeons. Assuming you have access to a light source:

You descend only to the end of the stairs before you hear a wet hissing sound. Three giant geckos are holed up in the dungeon, apparently hungry and territorial!

Round 1 (bold may post); Map on Slide 7
Rout
Erevan
Pyotr
Red Gecko
Orange Gecko (12 feet high on ceiling; need reach weapons or ranged weapons to Strike)
Blue Gecko
Victus
Aloysius
Khunbish

Did Aloysius not also pass out a token to the wise woman Sylvina, GM? That was his intent.

Not Khunbish's turn yet but before descending to the dungeon, he will cask barkskin on himself and Irves. Also on initiative rolls, unless caught by surprise, he would usually do stealth even though it is lower so that he has a chance to use his surprise attack. Doesn't make a difference in this case though.

"Well, well, what do we have here? Oh, I should have saved that one. This is the dungeon!" Pyotr grumbles a bit, racking his brains for information regarding the geckos. He then starts droning on about their weak points and a time some relative or other tussled with one.

I'll do two Recall Knowledge checks, both with Loremaster's Etude. Secret rolls below, assuming Nature to ID so +8 to the final rolls. Then I'll Inspire Courage.

Day 4 (cont.)
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Rout leaves the cooperage and heads over to the smithy to visit Martin and Edgar. The heat of the smithy doesn't seem to bother him. Rout is Pathfinder working up at old fort with other Pathfinders. We making new Pathfinder Lodge. We maybe will have some work for you.

Day 5

Rout slinks to the front of the group and stabs at the lead gecko... and almost falls on his face.
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 +2 PC Boost, +1 Inspire Courage

He tries to recover and connect with a second thrust.
1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (4) + 10 - 5 = 9 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9

@Aloysius: That's what I thought, but I only read that you had talked to the two serving girls, so I only included them. You can also have given a token to Sylvina.

Day 4: Rout confers with the two smiths. Martin remains quiet and stands apart from the goblin, but his husband smiles and welcomes Rout in. "I saw that! I'm excited to see that old rock pile look presentable again, it should bring some dignity to our old town. Are you having fun?"

Day 5: Rout misses with both his attacks, while Pyotr regales his team with info about the critters, his memory jogged by seeing them in the flesh. HP 30, AC 18, Fort +8, Ref +12, Will +7, uncanny climbers (30 ft climb speed with critical failures acting as failures), jaws +10.

Almost two days with no posts from Erevan, so botting him.

Erevan draws his hand crossbow, fires at the lizard on the ceiling, then reloads.

Hand Crossbow (mentor, courage): 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 14
Damage (bump, courage): 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Meanwhile, the three lizards dart into your midsts. The two on the ground pounce on Rout, both gnawing his arms as he fights them off, while the third runs along the ceiling to the back of the group, glomping onto the neck of the elf that shot at it.

Pyotr weaves together some arcane gestures. "What if one of your ilk was to turn traitor? Now that'd make for quite the story..."

Behind one of the geckos, another appears, violently green. It starts trying to savage its mirror self.

Casting Illusory Creature, then Inspire Courage. Blue gets a DC 20 Will save if any attacks land to recognize the illusion and take no more damage.

Illusory Strike vs. Blue FF: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Nonlethal Mental Slashing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Illusory Strike vs. Blue FF: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Nonlethal Mental Slashing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Knowing that Victus can strike from reach, Khunbish steps into the space in front to protect the rest of the party but not before turning into a ferocious bear. No space for Irves for now, but I trust the opportunity will present itself.

2 actions: wild shape, 1 action: step

"Argh! Get off me!" Erevan covers the blood gushing out of his neck as he quickly brews his elixir of life and takes a chug before firing the Orange gecko in point-blank range.

Elixir: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Ranged Strike: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

It would seem that the elixir has lost its potency. He shouts, "I need aid!"

"Oh, creepy-crawlies! Oooooooo!" Aloysius screeches and flails his arms, three bolts of force flying at the lizard closest to him.

Magic Missiles: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1, 4) + 3 = 11

Day 4
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Fun? Hmmm. Well, fixing fort not Rout's favorite mission so far, but Rout like being a Pathfinder. He looks around the forge. You make a lot of weapons?

Day 5
Rout takes a beating after swinging wildly with his spear. He takes a Step back to put some distance again between him and his enemy before trying to redeem himself.

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 10 - 5 = 17 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

If orange has AoO then it could use it on me for striding past it

Victus hears Erevan's shout and rushes to aid by running past Pyotr and behind the orange gecko. "Behind me!" he shouts to Erevan as he lays his sword into the orange gecko.

Flat-footed
Striking Silver longsword+1 vs Orange: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 1 = 25 Damage: 2d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5, 3) + 4 + 1 = 13

Reaction (whichever comes first):If Orange moves and it would trigger a reaction then i AoO. Or If it strikes me, I will shield block. steel shield: 5 hardness, 20 HP.

Pyotr's illusions doesn't seem to even distract the reptile, although it opens up its defenses just enough for Rout to get in a nasty stab with his spear. Victus, Aloysius, and Erevan lay the hurt on the wall-climbing lizard; it tries to scamper up the stairs and escape, but Victus impales it on the end of his sword and leaves its carcass twitching on the floor. The uninjured gecko crawls up the wall to get behind the bear and lashes out unsuccessfully at both Pyotr and Khunbish, while the injured one flanks with its mate and concentrates on the druid, biting his haunches twice.

Victus, seeing Erevan is safe from immediate danger, rushes off into the battle. He positions himself behind blue and strikes again before raising his shield

Ran by both Orange and Blue if they have AoO and want to use it

Flat footed, inspired
Striking Silver longsword+1 vs Blue: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 13 + 1 = 24slashing Damage: 2d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7, 8) + 4 + 1 = 20

Reactions (whichever comes first): will AoO anything that would trigger it, or block first attack made against him. shield -5 hardness, 20 hp

With one gecko onto his tricks, Pyotr guides his projection towards the one menacing him. He then draws his rapier, looking laughably unskilled in doing so. "So that's how it is? To arms, knave!"

Concentrate, Inspire Courage, Interact to draw. The illusion will Stride and Strike. Red gets a save as well.

Illusory Strike vs. Red: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
Nonlethal Mental Slashing: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Aloysius' hands erupts in flame. He ducks low, to the side of Pyotr, and attempts to hurl some flame at the (red) nearest gecko.

Ranged Spell Attack, Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 = 111d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6 I'm going to use my Hero Point here.
Reroll: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 1 = 291d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8 If that's a critical hit, then the target takes double damage and 1d4 persistent fire damage.

Erevan this time gets a healing potion from his satchel' drinks it, then reloads his hand crossbow.

healing potion: 1d8 ⇒ 5

He takes a deep breath as he focuses on the situation at hand.

Just a note that Irves gets additional damage when the target is flat-footed, so where possible he would try to flank. Not possible in this case though.

On a command from his master, albeit in the form of a bear, Irves leaps at the nearest lizard, tearing into it with tooth and claw.

vs red:
jaws: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
claw: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 5 = 11 dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Khunbish has barkskin on, giving him resistance 2 to piercing, so he would only have taken 12 damage, of which 5 are taken up by the temp hp from animal form.

The fearsome bear rears up on its feet, ignoring the lizard between him and Victus, but rather tearing into the one in the midst of the party, fearing the harm it would cause the teammates who are less equipped for frontline combat.

vs red, but if it goes down, then transfer to blue. both are flat-footed.
jaws: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 P dmg: 2d8 + 1 ⇒ (1, 1) + 1 = 3
jaws: 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 11 - 5 = 19 P dmg: 2d8 + 1 ⇒ (6, 4) + 1 = 11

Actions: 1 command Irves, double attack
