[RD][PFS2] 1-14 Lions of Katapesh (Bears Table) (Inactive)

Game Master Andrew Harasty

The arc leaps between the two lions
reflex blue: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
reflex green: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

The blue cat dodges completely and the green one gets lightly singed.

Grimm moves up to swat at the red furred cat and hits it, but not soundly.

The blue cat then reaches in to a nearby tent, grabs a goblin then moves to leap/climb back over the fence.

It ends just on the other side of the fence.

Piercing, Sneak: 1d4 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 4 + (2) = 8

"Guard the tents!" shouts Rufous.

He rushes over to support Yaegren in protecting the northern group of tents, moving around behind the two big cats.

◈ Stride
◈ Stride

The goblin Sarenite slashes at one of the cats with his dogslicer.

Exactly where he needs to be, Yaegren starts swinging wildly.

Warhammer vs. Red FF: 1d20 + 6 - 10 ⇒ (17) + 6 - 10 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Horrified by one of the goblins being taken from a tent he was supposed to be guarding, Muzzo rushed over to where the other two lions were and lunged. Unfortunately, his haste cost him accuracy and all he managed ot bitew was a tent stay rope. part of the tent beside him collapsed as he spun to see the bad kitty clearly.

bite attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Merisiel deftly leaps over the fence, but is unable to connect with the feeling feline.

Rufous comes around to guard the other set of tents. But does not connect. However his distractaion allows for one of Yaegren's attacks to hit.

Muzzo leaps in, but does not bit the leopard.

The red furred lion then attacks Yaegren starting with a snap of its jaw
Jaws attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Claw attack: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 10 - 4 = 16
Claw attack: 1d20 + 10 - 8 ⇒ (12) + 10 - 8 = 14
But much the same nothing lands on the dwarf.

The Green eyed one goes for the tasty goblin. The one that tried to bite him

Jaws attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
Jaws Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 P plus grab

It snaps and grabs on to Muzzo, but realizing this one is not dead yet, mauls him with their two claws.

Claw attack: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 10 - 4 = 13
Claw attack: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 10 - 4 = 23

Trig frowns, It's as if the animal is mocking his proclamation.

He unleashes a blast of fire at the escaping lion. ◆◆

Fire Ray spell attack against blue: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
fire damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

He then moves to help the others. ◆

As the red is now flanked, Grimm attacks thrice
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 101d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 231d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Attack: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 121d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
"One,two three! Dead o cat are yee!"

Trig's fire ray tags the blue eyed cat but does not take it down. It continues to flee with the dead goblin in it's mouth.

Grimm furiously swings, but still only hits the cat once, wounding it enough that it looks about to back away and flee.

It looks like [blue] is still on the map? If it's not, Merisiel will give chase. It can't run far with a Goblin in its mouth, and she's fast.

"Hold on Muzzo! We'll get you out of there! Yaegren, keep on that one!" Rufous shouts to his friends.

The ruddy-skinned goblin then pulls forth a scroll from the case on his bandolier and unfurls it. "לְרַפֵּא" he reads from the scroll.
◈ Interact to draw scroll
◈◈ Cast heal on Muzzo
heal: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Also, because of Rufous's bloodline, Muzzo gains a +1 status bonus on saving throws for 1 round.

It looks like I'm not the only one getting confused between Grim and Yaegren, with their similar names and avatars. :) I think Grim would have needed to move to be in position.

Huh, I didn't even notice the similarity.

Confident the feline isn't about to hurt him, Yaegren fires up his special elixir and keeps whirling his hammer about.

◈ Rage
◈ Strike
◈ Strike

Warhammer vs. Red FF: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 = 9

Warhammer vs. Red FF: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 6 - 1 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 = 9

Yeagren's hammer finishes off the red fur cat. And Muzzo is filled with healing light.

The at also moves at 30 and the goblin carcass is not enough to slow it down significantly. So you can keep pace with it. However to go a quick modified chase. Give me an Acrobatics or Athletics check versus its reflex DC out maneuver it enough to get one strike in this round

**"Bad kitty!" Muzzo shouted as he moved after the remaining lion. He leaped at the cat, biting down with shark teeth.

bite attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
bite attack: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 7 - 5 = 14
damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Athletics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

"Drop 'em!"

Dagger: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Stabby: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

As Merisiel lunges, her dagger (and face) eat sand. She then watches hopelessly as the cat runs off with the infant.

Probably spend next round standing up and double moving back to camp.

Merisel is unable to slow down the retreating cat before it can get away.

Muzzo bites the feline as it hisses and bites back.

Jaws attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
Jaws Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 P plus grab

And in one fatal snap the goblin warrior falls. It takes a swipe at Yeargren

Claw attack: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 4 = 12
Claw damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 S

Missing the dwarf and then starts to fall back to the fence.

Everyone is up.

"Ack! Muzzo!" Rufous produces another scroll from his scroll case on his bandolier and unfurls it. "לְרַפֵּא" he reads from the scroll.
◈ Interact to draw scroll
◈◈ Cast heal on Muzzo
heal: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

"I know it smarts, my friend, but we still have work to do. I'll fix you right up when we're done!"

Hearing the continued commotion, Merisiel rushes back to the camp.

Yaegren stomps after the escaping feline, his anger hitting another peak. "You're not getting away with that!"

Why are all my characters getting critted today?

Why are all my characters getting critted today?

Don't know, but you're back up. Get in there, Champ! :)

Muzzo shook his head as his eyes opened, and he felt much of his pain washed away. He heard Rufous telling him there was more work to do and he struggled to his feet. Woozily looking around, he sees the remaining lion over by the fence. True to his nature, Muzzo didn't hesitate, but threw himself at the lion, lunging forward in a diving bite attack.

bite attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Will wait to see if any enemies are alive.

The last cat is still up but hurt quite a bit.

Grimm moves up and strikes again.
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 271d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

ray of Frost spell attack vs green: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
cold dmg: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

"I'm sure we saved lives here. But even 1 death is too many. What now?"

And with the swing and blast, the last cat goes down. The goblins come out. Zig comes up. "Not the worse night we have had. At least they know you are here now. Still we can work with this."

At this point other goblins come out and secure some of the debris from the battle, but otherwise they are being very pragmatic about the event.

It is dark but before midnight. What do you wish to do?

"We need to set watch, build fires up. This not natural kitty behavior! In the morning, we track cats to see where come from. Maybe bad druid or sorcerer making the kitties do bad things"

Now or Later?: 1d2 ⇒ 1

"If we track it down now while the trail is fresh, maybe we can get there in time before..."

"I can see the merits of both courses of action," Rufous ponders in a rare display of pragmatism. "If we go now, we can stay hot on the trail of this aggressive cat. I have a lot of my daily spell power still available. But that means that we should look for another way of healing Muzzo's wounds."

"On the other hand," he continues, "if I don't rest, I won't be able to replenish my spells in the morning. If we wait until dawn, we will all be fully rested which might give us what we need for the task ahead."

After a short pause, Rufous adds, "I think we should press on. We have the advantage now. Trig, Yaegren, what say you?"

I am only down one spell slot for the day, but I've used both of my heal scrolls. If we stay I can heal Muzzo before retiring for the night. If we pursue, then I should save my spells for the fight ahead.

By saying that Rufous wants to press on, I am indicating that he still has a lot to contribute to another combat. If anyone feels like they have spent too many of their daily resources to likewise contribute, then he will change his vote to waiting until first light.

How many of us are particularly effective in the dark of night?

"And leave the camp undefended? These cats are apparently smart, they might come back in the night if they have bodies to spare. An attack by day is less likely." Yaegren scratches his chin. "Maybe one or two of us can go out a short ways, pick up the trail's general direction. Then we'll descend on their hidey-hole tomorrow and teach 'em a lesson."

Ninja'd! Yaegren is careful, and would rather wait. That said, he is almost full on infused reagents and has darkvision. But he'll go with the majority vote.

How many of us are particularly effective in the dark of night?

I think four of us have darkvision: the two dwarves and the two goblins.

"Yaegren has a good plan. Here," Rufous reaches down and picks up a small stone. He mutters a word in celestial and waves his hand over the rock, which immediately begins glowing with soft white light. "If we split up, I will remain behind. Those who go to track the animal will take this light. Should we fall under another attack, I will extinguish the light, signaling for your hasty return."

"If there's anything I've learned over the decades, it's that we don't split the party. We've killed two of these cats tonight, and wounded the third. It's unlikely it will want another go at it tonight. Especially since it's just ran away with another one."

Nobody ever wants to split the party. :(

Give me a survival check to locate the trail

So far I see the vote as follows:

Merisiel - Now
Muzzo - Morning
Rufous - Now
Yaegren - Morning
Trig - ??
Grimm - ??

Who's our best Survivalist? Merisiel is only +4

Grimm looks at the others and shrugs.
"I know some of you can´t see that good, but we do. And this is really a great advantage!"

Trig is +7.

Cool. Merisiel will attempt to Aid you whenever the group decides to leave.

Survival, Aid: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

"I chased it over here. Look, a trail of fresh blood."

Trig calls for a bit of divine guidance then has a look around where the lion ran off.

survival including aid and guidance: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 21

"I think it went that way."

Grimm votes to go and so that is the first to three

Trig easily finds the trail. The fresh goblin blood helps lead you to a CAVE In the nearby hills.

The cave is quite sizable as it goes under ground under the hills. The ceilings are vary between 10 and 15 feet but it is otherwise dark deep in to the cave.

Place yourselves in the entrance

Merisiel will do her signature combined Avoid Notice and Trap Finder

Whispering, she adds, "I didn't see a mane on any of those cats. Let's hope it's just a trio of ladies."

Rufous will hang toward the back of the group. He will use Perception while moving around in the cave. Did we get Muzzo all patched up? Anyone trained in Medicine?

"Merisiel, what do you see?" whispers Rufous.

You can safely take an hour or so before heading out to top off HP with medicine. Assuming someone has it

"Merisiel, what do you see?" whispers Rufous.

"Nothing."

She sneaks back to the group, grabs Rufous's light stone, and then sneaks back to her original position.

Cupping it in her hand, she projects a beam of light ahead of her, rather than illuminating the entire radius.

You can safely take an hour or so before heading out to top off HP with medicine. Assuming someone has it

I guess Merisiel can try. She can only Crit fail on a Natural 1

Medicine, DC 15: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Healed for: 2d8 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

Eh. Was worth a shot.

"Muzzo sees nothing too. And it's actually the lady kitties you need to worry about. Male lions let the ladies do all the work, then come in and cat first because they are bigger. So hope there is fat, lazy male lion and wounded lady, and not more lady kitties!"

Muzzo wasn't being particularly sneaky. It wasn't because he couldn't, he just saw no need to. Anything up ahead likely knew they were coming from the smell of all the longshanks.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

As we prepare Trig will also try to heal Muzzo's wounds.

medicine DC 15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Sometimes it's the thought that counts.

With long term healing failing Trig goes for a more quick and dirty method.

Battle Medicine DC 15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

healed for: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 2) = 10

"Try to avoid getting bitten again."
