[Gameday IX / PFS2 Luke_Parry] Little Trouble In Big Absalom (1) (Inactive)

Game Master Luke_Parry

I'm pink! What's going on here!?! Aghhh!!!
She shouts frantically.
Quizrel looks at her arms and legs again, then calms down.
Actually, it's really pretty. Like the flowers. Tee-hee-hee! She giggles.

-----------------------------------

Quizrel studies the closet lock that is at eye level with her and then pulls out her thieves' tools.
I think I can get this.
She squints and licks her lips in concentration as she fiddles with the lock.

Thievery: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

I will help you.

Thievery: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Oups, I don't think so in this case.

Quizrel keeps trying to pick the lock until it opens.

thievery: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
thievery: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
thievery: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

I'm hoping that second one got it.

Sorry, I can't help on this one.

Neither can I.

The first attempts from Quizrel and Rhin fail, but after that initial set-back, Quizrel manages to pop the lock!

Inside, the party finds the following:

Granny’s hedge trimmer, a +1 hatchet, a +1 dagger, two flasks of moderate alchemist’s fire, an oil of potency, an alarm snare, a spike snare, a first aid kit containing three antidotes, and an assortment of gardening tools.

Oh I think we have found a treasure! And the hedge trimmer in the same way.

The druid is pleased not to have done all this expedition for nothing.

We will have something to take back home at least.

Hooray! Quizrel shouts as she jumps with joy.
We found the magical hedge trimmer! We are the best adventurers ever!

She beams with excitement as they all take turns playing with the fancy hedge trimmers and dig through the wondrous trove of treasures. After a minute or two, with their incredibly short attention spans, the kobolds get bored with the trimmers and the treasure. Quizrel packs up all she can carry.

I guess we should take the trimmer back to granny. She seems a bit sad that her adventure is over.

Maybe she will bake us a big pie for finding the trimmer!

Hey. Do I look like a gnome with a beard now that I'm all pink?

"You look like a big cotton candy. Let's get the hedge trimmer back to Granny before that ogre comes back. Oh and lock up the castle before we leave. It's only polite."

As the party is getting ready to leave...

The ground beneath begins to shake!

Holes open up in the pristine grass of the lawn, rapidly filling with water. Huge, chitinous lawn crawfish have detected the intruders and emerge from their tunnels, moving to rend the kobolds limb from limb!

Lawn Crawfish: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10.
Izni: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25.
Kane: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23.
Quizrel: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8.
Rhin: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20.
Simeek: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20.

When Giant Crustaceans Attack, Round 1:

Izni (-)
Kane (-)
Simeek (-)
Rhin (-)
Lawn Crawfish (-, -, -, -)
Quizrel (-)

Party (sans-Quizrel) is up!

"Eeeek!"

Simeek grabs the oil of potency (striding to it if necessary) applies it to his halberd, and prepares to fight the monsters.

Let me sing you something to give you the needed courage to face these horrible monsters!

Take it down, take it down, let it down, oh speaking gentle words of charism, take it down.

Inspire courage: +1 att and dam

Then he fires a small rock with his magic towards the blue one.

Telekinetic projectile: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 1 = 23

Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

The druid asks Precious to attack the blue one.

Jaws: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 = 26

Damage:1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Then he comes to strike himself as well.

sharpened trowel: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 = 15

Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Move over and acid splash blue hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 6 acid. or yellow if blue is dead. Let me know if I should use fear or something else next round. I tend to overlook non-attack/buff spells as not useful.

Precious scores a glancing blow on Blue.

Kane throws a glob of acid, which goes wide.

Simeek starts to vigorously oil his primary weapon.

Rhin begins singing, and throws a rock at Blue, cracking its shell.

The Crawfish scuttle forward, and start snipping at the party...

Claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13, for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 damage, + Fort save.
Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17, for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 damage, + Fort save.

Rhin dodges Red's strikes.

Claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16, for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 damage, + Fort save.
Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9, for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 damage, + Fort save.

Claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11, for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 damage, + Fort save.
Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21, for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 damage, + Fort save.

Despite being double-timed, Quizrel is only snipped once.

Claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28, for 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 2 = 7 damage, + Fort save.
Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21, for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 damage, + Fort save.

Precious, however, takes a savage beating, and collapses to the ground, spasming.

When Giant Crustaceans Attack, Round 1/2:

Quizrel (-7; Fort save)
Izni (-)
Precious (-11; Unconscious; Fort save x2)
Kane (-)
Simeek (-)
Rhin (-)
Lawn Crawfish (-, -, -, -14)

Party is up!

Owie!

fortitude: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Simeek manages to slice at one of the monsters as it approaches the kobolds.

Simeek takes and attack of opportunity against red since his halberd has reach.

halberd-IC-Oil: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 27
damage piercing: 2d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 2) + 4 + 1 = 8

"Eeeek! Get away from my friends!"

halberd-IC-oil: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 20
damage-slashing-IC: 2d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (9, 8) + 4 + 1 = 22

halberd-IC-oil: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 + 1 - 5 = 10
damage-slashing-IC: 2d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 5) + 4 + 1 = 13

halberd-IC-oil: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 - 10 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 1 + 1 - 10 = 3
damage-slashing-IC: 2d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 8) + 4 + 1 = 16

Swinging his halberd in a wide arc Simeek tries to finish off red then attacks turquoise.

Strike, strike, strike

Fling another acid splash at blue, or yellow if blue is dead hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 3 acid. oh and 1 splash damage.

The druid casts Heal animal on Precious.

Fort save:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Fort save:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Heal animal: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Then the cat attacks.

Jaws: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 = 10

Damage:1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6

Claw: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 - 4 = 14

Damage:1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

The bard continues to sing of course and attacks with magic.

Telekinetic projectile: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 1 = 28

Damage, crit: 2d6 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (3, 5) + 8 + 2 = 18

Yikes! I forgot granny told us there were lawn crawdads!

Quizrel pulls out her meat tenderizer and whacks a lawn crawdad (yellow). Then attempts a bitey-bite.

Meat Tenderizer & IC: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 = 16
bludgeon: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Toothy Bite & IC & MAP: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 1 - 4 = 13
piercing: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

She then steps a few paces back to get out of the fray and the reach of the two pairs of claws.

Yikes! I forgot granny told us there were lawn crawdads!

Quizrel pulls out her meat tenderizer and whacks a lawn crawdad (yellow). Then attempts a bitey-bite.

[dice=Meat Tenderizer & IC]1d20+7+1
[dice=bludgeon]1d4+4

[dice=Toothy Bite & IC & MAP]1d20+7+1-4
[dice=piercing]1d6+1

She then steps a few paces back to get out of the fray and the reach of the two pairs of claws.

Forget second attack (or first attack?). I had to use an action to pull out weapon.

Quizrel smacks at Yellow, but after missing, backs away.

Izni heals precious, but is alarmed to see that the cat has been poisoned...

1d4 ⇒ 4 Poison damage.

Moving drunkenly, Precious misses.

Kane throws a blob of acid, which is dodged.

Simeek, in a panic, splatters Red...

Frenzy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14, for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 damage, + Fort save.

...which weakly attempts to claw him as it dies.

Rhin then crushes Cyan with a thrown rock!

As it dies, it lashes out at Simeek...

Frenzy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26, for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 damage, + Fort save.

...scoring a glancing blow.

Cyan Steps forward, and goes for Kane...

Claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15, for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 damage, + Fort save.
Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23, for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 damage, + Fort save.

...scoring a glancing blow.

Claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16, for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 damage, + Fort save.
Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24, for 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 6) + 2 = 13 damage, + Fort save.
Claw: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1, for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 damage, + Fort save.

Blue goes after Precious, knocking the cat out with its first swing, and then delivering a near-disemboweling strike to Izni.

When Giant Crustaceans Attack, Round 2/3:

Quizrel (-7)
Izni (-13; Fort save)
Precious (-11; Unconscious; Dying 2; 1d4 Persistent Poison damage; Wounded 1)
Kane (-2; Fort save)
Simeek (-4; Fort save)
Rhin (-)
Lawn Crawfish (-, -14)

Party is up!

Oh, no! Kitty cat down!

Quizrel runs around and behind the terrifying giant crawfish. Now flanking the creature with Kane, she swings wildly a couple times hoping to bring the creature down.

I can't wait to boil you in a pot with some Varisian seasoning and eat you up!

Meat Tenderizer: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
bludgeon: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
sneak?: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Meat Tenderizer & map: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 4 = 22
bludgeon: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
sneak?: 1d6 ⇒ 1

stride, strike, strike

fortitude: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Simeek moves in-between the two scary crab-monsters that threaten his friends. He looks at one, then the other then back again, confused.

"Which one do I hit?"

He closes his eyes and does a quick eeny meeny miney moe with his halberd. He settles for attacking the one to the south first.

halberd+IC+Oilvs blue: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 29
damage-slashing-IC-Oil: 2d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6, 4) + 4 + 1 = 15

halberd+IC+Oil vs yellow-flat footed: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 + 1 - 5 = 7
damage-slashing-IC-Oil: 2d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 + 1 = 8

Stride, Strike, Strike

Fort save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

The druid casts Heal upon himself.

Heal, 2 actions: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

And strikes again.

sharpened trowel: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 1 = 22

Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Precious recovery check: 1d20 ⇒ 18

The druid continues to sing to give courage to his companions.

Then he steps back and draws his short sword.

fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 success I think
I cast my focus spell gluttons jaw and I try to bite the crab hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 and if damaged I gain hit point: 1d6 ⇒ 3 temp hit points.
Last action I step.

Quizrel tenderises Yellow into oblivion.

As it dies, it lashes out...

Frenzy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28, for 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 2 = 4 damage, + Fort save.

Izni then heals themself, before cracking the injured with a swipe of the trowel, killing it...

Frenzy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24, for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 damage, + Fort save.

...but not before it deals a nasty swipe.

1d20 ⇒ 16

Meanwhile, Precious' condition improves.

When Giant Crustaceans Attack, Round 3/4:

Quizrel (-11; Fort save)
Izni (-10; Fort save)
Precious (-11; Unconscious; Dying 1; Wounded 1)
Kane (-2)
Simeek (-4)
Rhin (-)

Party is up!

fortitude: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Hero point!
fortitude: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Awesome!

Quizrel looks at the dead giant crawfish around her.
Yay! We got 'em!
Izni! Can you take care of Precious? Do you need my help? she shouts to the druid.
Owie. I'm a bit hurt, too.

Quizrel attempts using her battle medicine skills on herself pulling out salves and herbal remedies from her medicine kit and treating her wounds.

treat wounds: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Darn! My salves have spoiled.

The bard begins to treat Izni's wounds.

Medicine, treat wounds:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Fort:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Hero Point reroll: Fort:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

He casts Stabilize on Precious.

If possible then he will refocus to heal Precious.

Simeek runs over to the cat and kneels down. He begins to gently stroke her head.

"Somebody help Precious! She's hurt bad!"

Tears begin to form in Simeek's eyes.

Any of you got a healing potion to fix kit-cat? Quizrel asks the group.

Kane stands by I'll let the doctors in the party do their healing thing.

The party pushes through their reserves, and fights off the Lawn Crawfish' venom, as well as stabilising Precious.

Bruised, battered, but not beaten, the party triumphantly returns to Granny...

...only to discover that she has a shiny new hedge trimmer!

“Wouldn’t you know it! While you were out, my grandson came by to give me a new one! Said the old model was rubbish. You can have it if you want, dearies; maybe one of your parents might like it.”

True to her word, however, she gives each party member 5 gold coins for their trouble.

Heading back to the tribe, word quickly spreads of your heroics, and a team is dispatched to retrieve the lawn crawfish bodies; the kobolds then throw a party and roast the crawfish to feast upon, toasting the party in thanks for providing the incredible meal. Everyone can look forward to being given promotions, and can look forward to a brighter future and more important place among the Hookclaws!
