GM Worg's Adventures in Varisia

Game Master Kyle "Worg" H

Giacomo steps back and fires another Ray of Frost.

range touch, into melee: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 2 - 4 = 2 positive 2 better than negative 2...
cold damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Seren grips her holy symbol and prays more fervently than ever.
Casting bless on everyone. +1 to hit; +1 to saves vs fear effects.

Andreas chuckles at Giacomo as he finishes his Enlarge Person as Kip gets very big!

He then casts his own ray of frost...
ranged touch through cover: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 2 - 4 = 3
...with pretty much the same results.

"Kip. Smash." hammer damage:bludgeoning. bite damage: BPS.

Hammer: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Hammer damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 1) + 4 = 9

Bite: 1d20 + 4 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 4 - 5 = 15
Bite damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Kip, you have missed the +1 to hit from bless.

Hookshanks Gruller(-27,Dead)

Kipp and Vulpina both strike Hookshanks fiercely, and the gnome can't stand it any longer. He collapses into a heap of broken bones and bloody flesh.

Bloo lunges up and attempts to bite the Kitsune!
Bloo Bite VS Kipp: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
But fails to sink his teeth into Kipp.

Round 8: FIGHT!

Rapier Attack + Bless + Flanking: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

”We can handle this one! The rest of you, find him!”

I should be able to flank with Giacomo but can’t move on my phone.

Seren braces herself and walks around into a free space, swinging her star knife, trying to recall her lessons.
attack, bless, flank: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 12
damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

presuming Kip had an attack of opportunity when bloo ran up to him, and would not have flank during that.

Hammer AoOp: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 = 15
Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 3) + 4 = 12

back you the regularly scheduled turn.
"Bad doggy. Kip swings his hammer and goes to show that dog how to bite.

Hammer: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 13
Hammer Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 1) + 4 = 11
Bite: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 + 2 - 5 = 7
Bite Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

...Well he tried to anyways.

The dog gets slammed by Kipp's hammer, and it crumples into a heap on the floor.

The heroes now find themselves finally having a peaceful moment.

Vulpina does not stop for peace; she gives the room a quick once-over and immediately sets out to find Lamm in one of the other rooms.

Seren stares about the bloodied room, appalled.

Then she steps outside and speaks to the scattered orphans, "If any of you need food or new clothes, come and find me later at the temple of Desna."

Then she pauses for a second, looking pleadingly, with desperate hope, into their faces, "Do any of you know Gorvy? Is he here?"

Kip forces himself into a doorway and opens the first door he can.

Kipp pushes into the wall-
CRUNCH
With a now Kipp sized hole where the door used to be. Little else of this room seems to be of interest, save for the dog's bed of straw and fur. A doorway to the east and two door ways to the north are present.

In the gutting room there is a cabinet. It appears to be locked.
Disable Device.

Vulpina throws open the next door. Inside is a condescending con, descending from a high chair. He looks down his long nose at the intruder. "How dare you break into my office." He draws a wand.

Round 1: FIGHT!
Light Condition: Normal
Active Buffs: None
Active Penalties: None
Kipp, Devotee to Azathoth(-0,Fine)
Lady Vulpina Korada(-4,Fine)
Andreas Isidore(-0,Fine)
Yargin Balko(-0,Fine)
Giacomo Isidore(-0,Fine)
Seren Elberion(-0,Fine)

"Kip smash tiny man." Kip walks right up to yargin and hits him with a hammer. move, attack.

hammer: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7
damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2) + 4 = 10

that's a swing and a miss

Vulpina slips inside, and gets on the other side of him.

Not Lamm. Every fight we get into with someone who isn't him is another opportunity for him to escape.

She slides her blade into him--

Rapier_Flanking: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10

--or attempts to.

Round 1: FIGHT!
Light Condition: Normal
Active Buffs: None

Kipp, Devotee to Azathoth(-0,Fine)
Lady Vulpina Korada(-4,Fine)
Andreas Isidore(-0,Delay)
Yargin Balko(-0,Fine)
Giacomo Isidore(-0,Fine)
Seren Elberion(-0,Fine)

"Wretch, how dare you!" He shifts out of the way and thrusts open the door that Vulpina isn't blocking.

All Pathfinders are up, Andreas has two rounds to act.

"Now where did they all get off to?" asks Andreas. Rather than risking opening a door with other potential enemies, he starts following Kip and Vulpina. 'I wonder what that wand is. I think I need it.'

Turn 1, double move.
Turn 2, move, and recovers burning disarm with pearl of power

Giacomo starts to follow the melees, before finding another door and opening it.

move to move, move to open

As he turns and throws open the door, Vulpina's rapier finds its mark!

Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Crit?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6

"Tell us where Lamm is or we shall make a bloody wreck of you!"

With all of this rushing, you should still be under the effect of bless, so +1 to everyone’s attacks.

With all of this rushing, you should still be under the effect of bless, so +1 to everyone’s attacks.

One of these days, I’ll actually remember this! Thank you for reminding me!

Seren follows the sound of battle but then... What I will do will depend on what Giacomo found behind that door.

"I get you this time" Kip attacks Yargin once again.

Hammer: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20
Hammer damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 2) + 4 = 12
Bite: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 - 5 = 2
Bite damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

The hammer connects solidly, but Kip gets a mouthful of door instead of person. Kip also steps forward, so ranged people can get into the room.

Giacomo opens the door to find a short hallway. He can logically assume it leads back to where the party came from.

Vulpina's rapier pierces into Yargin's flesh, and before he can even make a retort, the oversized hammer of Kipp smashes him on top of the head. The wicked man falls into a heap on the floor, twitching as he begins dying.

A few things of note are on his person.

Vulpina hustles back. ”Swiftly, now!” she says, moving to the door they haven’t opened yet and remedying that.

A pair of bunk beds sit against the far wall of this room on either side of a boarded-over window. There appears to be no valuables in here.

Seren casts detect magic over the items.
spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

”Where is Lamm? Does he have another hiding place? Was the old woman wrong?”

"Either there is a hidden exit, or we should have posted someone outside," considers Vulpina.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 3

If there's a hidden exit in this room, she doesn't see it unless it's lit in neon-- and even then, she might miss it.

Kip sticks his oversized head out the door and calls back "Boat."

Certainly enough, Kipp does see a boat outside. It is currently attached to the docks.

Andreas notes that there are things to look at later, but follows Kip to the door. "Well, let's all check that out, then, shall we?"

GM, any results for detect magic?

The wand is an Acid Splash wand with 28 charges remaining. Nothing else detects as magical.

The Pathfinders travel down the docks towards the boat. The rotten deck of this ancient sailing ship seems to be barely intact; its hull is worn and thick with seaweed and barnacles. The ship is held together primarily by the layers of old rope that lash it securely to the pilings that support the fishery and the nearby boardwalk. The rickety walkway leads along the ship’s starboard, a foot below its railing. A single wooden door leading into the aft cabin bears a crude painting of a red fish on its surface.

Asserted the Marching Order again.
No blocked entry, you just have to hop onto the boat.

Seren quickly shoves all but the crossbow in her bag and follows the group, ”Hey, can anyone use this wand? It does a magic acid splash.”

Vulpina crams her blade into its sheath and reloads her pistol before moving on.

"Not I; never had the knack for magic, I am afraid," she states.

As they head toward the boat, Seren grabs Vulpina’s arm, ”Wait, you’re hurt.”

She grips her holy symbol and prays.
channel energy: 1d6 ⇒ 1
...deeply...
channel energy: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Vulpina’s flesh glows for a moment, and she feels refreshed, like a spring breeze that shallows the wound that the halfling managed to give her.

Her eyes light up. ”Well, that is certainly useful!” she grins. ”Healing abilities are hard to come by, and always appreciated.”

Seren casts her eyes upward, Desna aids the virtuous and the courageous. Her mysteries are a gift. I can only be grateful.”

Coming up to the boat kip looks around, opens his mouth to say something, but pauses and seams to think about it before saying to the rest of the group "All aboard." He then promptly hops on the boat.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

"I believe one of our number should remain on the dock-- keep an eye and a weapon at hand in case he flees from a hiding place whilst we have our backs turned," she advises.

Kipp sees that this boat is basically a rotten tub floating on water only because it has fused into the building. A stairwell leading down is nearby, as he can see it through the holes in the wall past the doorway.

Kip rushes to the door and raises his food, then jerks to a stop and slowly lowers his foot. He looks to the rest of the party, opening the door the normal, not fun and loud, way.

Seren gulps at Vulpina’s suggestion, ”I think we should stay together, in case anyone gets hurt.”

Don't split the party!

The air in this room is thick and musty. Thick sheets of cobwebs hang from the walls and mounds of blankets, cushions, and straw clutter the floor. To the south, a narrow flight of stairs leads down into the ship’s hold.

Suddenly, a spider bursts out of the shadows. Its as big as a house cat! It lunges at Kipp and attempts to bite him!
Drain Spider Bite Attack VS Kipp: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Drain Spider Bite Damage VS Kipp: 1d3 - 3 ⇒ (3) - 3 = 0
Kipp Fort Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Kipp Smash Spider Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Kipp Smash Spider Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

The spider manages to bite Kipp, but he shrugs off its poison and smashes it into a splat with legs.
Proceed down the stairs?

"Got it." Kip says before heading down the stairs.

I’m pretty sure that counts as 1 point of non-lethal damage.

Seren trails along, stepping gingerly last the squished spider and glancing nervously about the boat.

@Seren Correct, it is 1 non lethal.

Deeper into the bowels of the boat, the party finds the lower level to be a dusty and moldy mess. Dark and dank with the smell of mildew. Several barrels, crates, and other containers lie stacked here and there. Dust and grime litter the floor except for where pools of water are seeping through from the river below.

As Kipp and Vulpina enter, many spiders burst forth to attack the intruders!

Giacomo steps back to give room before firing a wild ray of frost at a spider
ranged touch, into melee, cover: 1d20 + 1 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 1 - 4 - 4 = 4 it is still above 0!

Is it still into melee if all parties are flat-footed and thus not threatening each other? Asking for a wizard!

Vulpina groans.

"Either he is not present here, or he is far more comfortable betwixt oversized arachnids than I would have assumed," she says, sticking her blade into a spider let's say, the one to the upper-right of her on the map.

Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 6
