Agents of Edgewatch Adventure Path (Closed) (Inactive)

Game Master Dorian 'Grey'

Can I command the stabby thing? Not sure if I can target it.

Target spells

Short answer: only if you can see it.

Ono watches the "sneaky" creatures approach under the cover darkness, then watches them throw daggers in his direction. Descending from cavern dwelling elves, Ono feels just as comfortable in darkness as he does in brighter conditions. Unfortunately, the daggers were thrown very quickly, and even more unfortunately, they were also thrown accurately.

Fortitude Save #1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Fortitude Save #2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

"Ouch, that hurt! ...and you tried to POISON me? Seriously?!? I'm an Agent of the Edgewatch division, and assaulting an officer of the law is a felonious act!"

Shaking off the mild poison coating the blades, Ono aims to bring justice to these deviants, literally (at least the aiming part).

Targeting the one I have already hit first. If that one falls, switch to the other.

Ono bellows, "FOR GREAT JUSTICE!", as he rains arrows upon the felons.

Target spells

Short answer: only if you can see it.

That was my implied question, the implied answer is no.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

I uncovered some of the Map for those with Darkvision.

@Watanabe are you using an Action to Seek? You still have 2 Actions; Darkness is treated as Difficult Terrain for movement.

Round 1 Pen Round 2 Father Emmett...

The two Creepers look decidedly bummed that the Elf is still looking right at them!

I will resolve Round 2 after Round 1 actions....

Is it supernaturally dark? Emmett cast light earlier. If I can't see anything then I'll just cast shield.

Darkness spell was cast....shhh....don't tell the others.

Pen begins to sing, inquiring to the listeners whether or not they believe in a thing called love.

Round 2

Watanabe looks for anything besides Darkness in the...well...darkness. The Wizard decides Shield is a good idea.

Father Emmett shuts his eyes in the darkness...
Delay

Pen sings a song to inspire his fellow Agents roaming about the darkness of their lives....

Ono winks at the two Creepers as they reposition themselves in the Darkness. The Elf then plants another arrow in the closer one's chest!
Hit!

TIANO (the one with 3 arrows in his chest) decides that the door to freedom is open! He makes an attempt to Stride by Ono Ono AoO and then to Tumble Through Watanabe and into the stairway.
Acrobatics DC 16 : 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Success!

Tiano slides through the robes of our Wizard and into the stairwell.
He decides to stab the blind Wizard, as a departing gift!
melee dagger, flat-footed, sneak attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 261d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + (1) = 2
Hit!

Keep the change; you filthy animal.

Miss Canella and Father Emmett are up for Round 2!

Watanabe cried, "Oh that smarts."

Ono swings his fist, in time with Pen's inspiring tune, at the creature attempting to run past him.

Inspired Haymaker: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 1 = 31
Inspired Dmg #1: 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7 bludgeoning

Even in the darkness, the rest of the party can hear sickening crunch of Ono's fist shattering the creature's face, and likely much of the rest of its skull.

Critical hit... max damage ;)

So what really happened was...

Ono done f+@$ed him up!

The Creeper only dreamed of his future, but he was denied it by Ono's fist of fury!

Watanabe ignore all that s%@@!

Something told me that will happen! Nice!

Father Emmett and Miss Canella in the dark are up!

Watanabe stubs his toe in the dark and cried, "Oh that smarts."

Hearing the comotion, "Everything alright?

”Depends who you ask, but from my perspective, yes, everything is alright!”, Ono replies into the darkness with an unseen grin.

Miss Canella moves 30' and raises her shield.

Where is the other guy at?

Round 2

As Ono's fist punches through the Creeper's skull, a blinding light flashes!

Father Emmett decides that his body is not a temple. He strides closer to Ono to block the exit a bit more. He then Readies to slice--blindly--at any miscreant to pass by...
Readied Strike melee axe: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 161d12 ⇒ 7

Please, please let it NOT be a comrade...

Miss Canella slides on back to her former spot in tune to Pen's song. She wisely raises her shield.

MORVIGGUS' ugly face pales in horror, as his brother's skull gets caved in! He gives Ono his mean face!
Ranged dagger: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 171d4 ⇒ 1 Hits if Blinded!
If Blinded, flat-footed, sneak: 1d6 ⇒ 6

The lone Creeper then stealths away out of view.
Stealth vs Perception DCs: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Pen is up for Round 2; everyone else is up for Round 3.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Ono blinks his eyes a few times to clear the red spots throughout his vision, only to see a dagger flying towards him just in time to sidestep it. Ono grins maliciously and points his finger at the remaining creature.

Ooops, didn't notice that I was up for round 3.

Ono continues to stare down the creature, long enough for it to be apparent...

Intimidating Glare: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

...but probably more uncomfortable for Ono than the creature. He then fires a few arrows off, adding some teeth to the non-verbal, implied threat.

Going to assume we are still inspired, so remove the +1 to hit and damage if we are not.

Inspired Composite Shortbow #1: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 1 = 16
Inspired Dmg #1: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7 piercing

Inspired Composite Shortbow #2: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 = 21
Inspired Dmg #2: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7 piercing

The Creeper is no longer in your Sights, sir...he went around the bottom corner. You may need to make a Seek Action, if you venture down there...[

delay

Ono, You are the only one that can see. I will follow your lead.

Ok… missed the part where he stealthed away, and bringing up Roll20 on the phone is not the first thing that happens… ;)

Ono glides to the corner of the cave with lightning speed, looking for the second creature.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
And we keep looking
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

His keen elf eyes unable to discern the location of the evil little dark and light monster.

”I don’t know where he is. He seems to have vanished!”

Round 3

Ono decides to move south to look for the Creeper. He doesn't see it!

Everybody is up for Round 3...

Perplexed, Ono continues to look around for the creature as he says, ”Probably best to be cautious. This thing could likely jump out from anywhere at any moment!”

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

2nd action seek if necessary. If Ono sees the creature, he’ll use that action to shoot arrows instead.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Going to assume the 21 is a successful seek, if the creature is within seek range. The following are 1 (or 2) arrows, depending on how it all goes down. If Ono doesn’t see the creature after 2 seek actions, he’ll move forward to continue the search.

Composite Shortbow #1: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 1 = 17
Dmg #1: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7 piercing

Composite Shortbow #2: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9
Dmg #2: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7 piercing

Watanabe looks around and prepares for the worst. Seek, shield, take cover

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

AC 20

Round 3

Ono and Watanbe begin making their way south to where the Elf last seen the Creeper. After a few steps, the Darkness ends, allowing both to move with more confidence (ono can see either way; but the Elf has a soft spot for robe-wearers).
Neither of our Agents spy the fleet Creeper, but...
I moved you Watanabe, so you could see.

Kissing Cave
The ceiling in this part of the cavern soars up almost twenty feet. Tunnels exit to the north and east. To the southwest, near the ruins of a sunken building, a third passage was clearly once walled shut with white bricks, but the bricks have been removed from the middle to create a narrow pathway. A small bundle of dark rags lies in the center of the floor near the mangled corpse of what looks like a fiendish severed head with bat wings.

Miss Canella, Pen and Father Emmett are up for Round 3...

Do the rags look similar to what was left after the flash of light with the other creature? And speaking of flashes of light, did we notice any bright flashes of light from around the corner?

Miss Canella walks carefully to where her partners are.

perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Sorry guys. I don't see any either.

Yes, they certainly do; and no sir...

Ono hears a strange song whispered from the darkness of the scary cavern.
What does he hear?

Kissing Cave Round 3

Father Emmett and Pen follow the sounds of commotion in a southernly direction until the Darkness recedes and they see their fellow Agents staring blankly into another cavern.

Everyone may attempt a Perception DC 18 check to get things moving!

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Perception DC 18: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Kissing Cave Round 4

The Agent begin gathering down to the southern cave to attempt to find and locate the missing Creeper!

Unfortunately for them; they disturb a nest of strange looking bird-like creatures that swoop down from above!

Ono sees this as it is happening!

I broke the map again! Please stay tune; unless someone knows how to fix it? There are 2 creatures that I was attempting to show...off to see fireworks!

Father Emmett and Ono will be up for Round 4...

Thank you, Ono for fixing the Map!

Game on!

We will not be obstructed by these weird-o birds!

Father Emmett bolts forward with his great axe and takes a couple swings.

Great Axe: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 61d12 ⇒ 1

Great Axe: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 81d12 ⇒ 5

Justice!!!

Fortunately Ono is already in his killing stance, so he fires off some arrows at the nearest flying beast.

Composite Shortbow #1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
Dmg #1: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 piercing

Composite Shortbow #2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Composite Shortbow #3: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Dmg #3: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 piercing

Kissing Cave Round 4

Father Emmett fans the closest Flying Beastie, thinking it may behave if cooled a bit.

Ono spots the Flying Beastie next to Father Emmett; shooting arrows at it!
Hit! Hit! Hit!

The Flying Beasties at the ceiling lets out a terrible Shriek!
Everyone read spoiler

fort DC16: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Blood starts to come out Miss Canella nose. She is paralyzed.

Kissing Cave Round 4

The Shriek started along Miss Canella's spine, snaking its way down to her legs and across her arms.

The Flying Beastie next to Father Emmett decides that, as much as it is enjoying the fanning; those damn f&%!ing arrows really, really hurt!

It flies at Ono!
Bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 201d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Hit!

Tasty! The Flying Beastie tries for another tasty treat!
Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 12 damage plus Fort save from Poison.
CRIT!

The Flying Beastie takes a tasty taste of Elf!
Oh, so f@~!ing delicious!

Meanwhile, MORVIGGUS is seen Paralyzed!
Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

He looked like he wanted to scoot around the corner....and he would have done it but....
Fort Dc 16: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Oops! I had forgotten to made his save; and he failed...lol!

Watanabe and Pen are up for Round 4. Father Emmett and Ono for Round 5!

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Son of a weasel. Not this again.

Recall know, arcan: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Fortitude: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Father Emmett shakes off the shriek.

I’ll post my actions shortly

Working a hunch that these shrieking things are evil, Father Emmett summons a Divine Lance full of the power of GOOD to strike the creature nearest him.

Divine Lance: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 211d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Good damage

Father Emmett hastily applies Battle Medicine to Ono

Battle Medicine DC 15: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 282d8 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8

Critical Success Dice on Battle Medicine: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 3) = 11

Total of 19HP back to Ono

Pen, quick as a whip in molasses, plucks out a chord on her fiddle to challenge the Vargouille's scream.

Reaction Auditory Counterperformance, anyone can use in place of their own save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Well, guess not.

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

She'll keep up her singing with Inspire Courage and will whip a rock at the Vargouille.

TKP: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 1 = 191d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8

Kissing Cave Round 4

Watanabe recalls this one time at Band camp when he froze in place skinning dipping.
He feels like that night with the cold wind and cold water causing his friends to have raucous peels of mirth!

Pen--reacts--quickly; countering the Shriek. The Shriek wins! The Sprite then sings a song of Inspiration; whilst tossing a rock at the Flying Beastie!
Hit!

Kissing Cave Round 5

Father Emmett shakes off his strong desire to soil his robes....again. The Cleric makes a face, pointing his crooked, disjointed, gnarl finger (whilst Inspired) at the ugly Flying Beastie!
Hit! Included Inspired!

The ugly Flying Beastie crashes down into the rocky flooring!

Father Emmett then decides to touch his Elf buddy in his...fixing him up with medicinal remedies!

Ono is up for Round 5...

With a little help from his friends, Ono is feeling quite fantastic!

"Thanks, Father Emmett! I needed that!"

Turning back to the situation at hand, it unsurprisingly calls for extreme violence. So, Ono aims his bow at the next flying creature and fires off an inspired volley in the beast's direction.

Composite Shortbow #1: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 11 + 1 = 32
Dmg #1: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5 piercing
CRIT! Double damage plus...
Deadly Bonus Dmg: 1d10 ⇒ 9

Composite Shortbow #2: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 1 = 17
Dmg #2: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6 piercing

Composite Shortbow #3: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 + 1 = 14
Dmg #3: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10 piercing

Kissing Cave Round 5

Ono (undecided whether, or not, to get counseling) purses his Elven lips in purpose to pursue his mission!
CRIT!

Unfortunately, the gritty Elf's mind wonders at the prices for said counseling. He misses the remaining shots.

Miss Canella still feels like a frozen treat ready to eat!

MORVIGGUS is seen still and silent...

The Flying Beastie at the ceiling eyes grow big at the easy target that is MORVIGGUS!
Miss Canella=1 MORVIGGUS=2: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Fangs, flat-footed: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 2 = 311d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
CRIT!

Fort DC 18: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

It then gently kisses the poor Creeper!

Fort DC 18: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Hours: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Watanabe and Pen are up for Round 5!

Watanabe stands there. Not even a horrid monster will consider kissing me.

I may have forgotten that you are Paralyzed...Miss Canella and I are laughing out loud!

Watanabe contemplates researching a spell that allows a character a shot at the DM!

Pen is up for Round 5. Ono and Father Emmet are up for Round 6!

Ono continues his arrow flurry of maiming a death at the fiendish creature.

Composite Shortbow #1: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 1 = 17
Dmg #1: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 piercing
