Gameday 9 - The Confirmation (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

“Yes!! Prepare for the onslaught! Gorum we honor you!“ the brute half-orc shouts.

How many rounds do we have to buff?

Ok. 2 things.
1) You're only the 2nd party i've ran this for that goes against the bull right here.
2) Try to roll decent, as the 1st party lost, even if only 1 casualty. (2 if including Janira) :)

Oloch, the moment you decide to help Janira, we go into initiative. Shield of faith will go off in combat.
================================

Minotaur, round 1

Mugami
-------------
Minotaur
-------------
Carlin, Taizen
Evelyn, Olocj

Ayara just gives a big sigh over the mention of the very, very recognizable 'Gorum.' Ugh, a fervent 'believer.' Now is not the time to be arguing it though. She mutters something about "Self-deluded half-orc!"

Whoops! Didn't notice that Ayara is up! AND NOW THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I'VE TRIED TO EDIT THIS DANG POST! UGH!

Ayara snaps her fingers and points for Omeshi to get into combat and ready for melee. She then moves in closer herself, tossing back, "Well, Let's get moving! And dangit I thought I told you 'we don't have time for prayers!' Pointless! UGH!"

The bullman advances onto the map, snorting angrily.

"MROOOOOOO!!"

Carlin, Taizen
Evelyn, Oloch, (both can post ahead)
Janira

Omeshinando pulls out his lucerne hammer, and trundles forward at a surprisingly fast loping pace. He takes up a defensive position in front of Ayara and readies to handle anything the minotaur throws at her or him... or the party.

Double Move

"Careful, use the water as a defense!" Taizen advises his allies as he works to keep up.

Carlin rushes forward and shoots a bolt at the minotaur.

attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 51d8 ⇒ 6

Hope this works...

Evelyn dashes toward the small river, hoping to be able to jump over the water and take the minotaur in a pincer move

Acrobatics, Long jump, Armor penalty: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 - 1 = 11

She might have barely succeeded.. or barely failed

Double move toward the water, probably DC 10

The black dots across the maps, look like thin trees.
Would that affect your movement?

”Do not advance you beginners!!! Start to prepare and buff! Hold the line! Let it advance ! Ranged combatants behind melee!“

Oloch casts ‘shield of faith’!

+2 deflection bonus makes his AC 19.

@Chyro: if black dots mean double cost, I'm just one case short and will jump next round

”Do not advance you beginners!!! Start to prepare and buff! Hold the line! Let it advance ! Ranged combatants behind melee!“

Oloch casts ‘shield of faith’!

+2 deflection bonus makes his AC 19.

"This is a natural choke point keep it on the bridge and then maybe circle around from behind after that. Keeps the minotaur in an unstable footing and untenable position while we have solid ground and don't have to worry about unstable footing. Making a defense line here is much easier that back there."

Oloch shakes his head.

“It has reach!! We need to be able to flank and circle around it. I don’t care about a choke point where only one of us can attack because of its reach advantage!“

"We have reach too. And if you give me a moment, will have greater reach."

The pathfinders quickly spread out across the riverbank, eager to put down the bullman.

Janira starts inspire and moves 20ft SE.
Could someone move her, thanks.
======================

Minotaur, round 2

Mugami
-------------
Minotaur
-------------
Carlin, Taizen
Evelyn, Oloch
Janira

I moved Janira.

Sorry folks - I forgot to dot in gameplay, I guess, and missed that we started! I am here now, though.

Durm, who has been moody and silent so far this trip, finally shows some sign of life and fallows the others into the area, away from the cave.

Pulling a short spear off of his back, he double moves to get closer to the the threat. "That thing is big. Are you sure we want to get close to it?"

Ayara pulls out a few magical supplies and starts to cast a long spell that requires a good deal of time. Just before she starts to chant she comments, "Omeshi, defensive positioning!"

Starting to cast Enlarge person on Omeshi.

The kami takes up a defensive position and braces his hammer to block attacks headed his way.
Total defensive, AC is 19 for the round.

Welcome Durm. I'll have you enter init together with Mugami.

Mugami and Omeshinano keep the bridge to the west, as the minotaur approaches the riverbank.

*snort*, it advances west and, seeing Omeshinando standing on the start of the slippery log, not yet able to reach him, gives the log a strong shove, causing its end of the log to roll into the water and start drifting off.

Omeshinando, reflex DC 13 vs dropping prone from the moving log. It is slick from water and the minotaur pushes it into the water.
---------------------
Carlin, Taizen
Evelyn, Oloch (both can post ahead)
Janira

Oloch moves forward!

Then Oloch casts 'bless' on the party!

Everyone has +1 to hit!

Omeshinando gives a start as the log he'd been standing around slips out from under him. Wait I hadn't noticed he was on the log Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

The plants of his face plant themselves on the ground and he loses his balance.

Carlin reloads her crossbow and fires snother bolt at the beast.

attack: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 1 = 151d8 ⇒ 35 ft step firward after firing...im on my phone...can someone move me please? ty

With the minotaur having stomped into his range, Taizen raises his arms of with a loud kraaa.

A storm cloud appears over the beast for a moment, battering it with winds.

Storm Burst. 6/7 Remains.
Storm Burst (Ranged Touch): 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 = 15
Non-Lethal Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 Target gets -2 to attack for 1 round.

He then shifts his position to be behind the large kami.

With the minotaur just at the other bank of the river, Carlin and Taizen fire off bolt and lightning. Both only barely miss the target.

Oloch, aiming to boost the combat prowess of the group further, invokes a blessing from Gorum.

Evelyn

Taizen looks incredulously at the minotaur, somehow avoiding his storm burst.

"If he is that nimble...we may be in for quite a storm!"

My attack was against Touch AC, just a reminder, in case that makes a difference. Can't imagine him have that high of dex/dodge.

Makes difference. Getting up early imposes penalty on my perception sometimes.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Evelyn jumps over the river, and lands safely (hopefully !) on the other bank.

As the safely as you can when you are on the same bank than a bloodthirsty minotaur, of course!

This action surprises the minotaur, a wild half-elf appeared!

Proper update at lunch.

Mugami, you can post ahead, if you want.
Should Omeshi want to move through water, he will have to roll strength checks, it is also considered difficult terrain.

I think you said I should go with Mugami, right?

Durm moves closer to the water and chucks a throwing axe at the beast.

Ranged attack, 2nd range: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 4 - 2 = 12
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Ayara's spell goes off and she takes a step back before summoning and hurling a glob of acid at the minotaur across the river.

Acid Splash: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 2 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Omeshi starts to stretch and grow as his vines start to shift and pull the kami upright. He takes a step along the river bank and then lashes out powerfully with his much larger lucerne hammer.

Hammer, power attack, bless: 1d20 + 5 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 1 + 1 = 22
Large damage: 3d6 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1, 5) + 6 + 3 = 16

Last time when we left off....

Janira, keeping up inspiring verses, moves closer to the minotaur and casts grease on his axe.
Reflex DC 15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

The minotaur's grip on its axe is solid, and it stays in its hands.
===========================

Minotaur, round 3

Durm hastes himself, tossing an axe towards the great beastman.
It falls a bit short, however, landing upon the other shore at the beastman's feet.

Mugami finishes her spell, touching Omeshionando, who grows, and grows, now standing upright a good 8ft tall. She hits the minotaur for 2 dmg.
+1 inspire.

Omeshi hits the minotaur for a whopping 17 dmg, enraging it greatly.
---------------------
Minotaur (-19) steps 5ft along the riverbank, into a spot where it can hit Omeshi.

Greataxe, PA, storm debuff: 1d20 + 9 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 2 - 2 = 17 Dmg, 2-H, PA: 3d6 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 6, 1) + 6 + 6 = 22
The greataxe cleaves into Omeshi, who drops its hammer as it passes out from the sheer damage.
Gore vs prone unconscious, PA, storm debuff: 1d20 + 4 + 4 + 4 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 4 + 4 - 2 - 2 = 14 Dmg, PA: 1d6 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 4 = 9

Before the pathfinders' eyes, the great tree is brutally butchered, and his body disappears back to his native plain.
"MROOOOO!!", it looks at the gathered group with murderous intent.

Janira's looking a bit taken aback.
"Good grief."
-----------------------
Carlin, Taizen
Evelyn, Oloch (both can post ahead)
Janira

@Durm/GM: I do not know if that changes anything but Durm hit AC 14 as he has +1 bless and +1 inspire which he both did not include.

Oloch moves forward and then activates his blessing on himself to increase his defenses.

War Mind Oloch can touch an ally as a standard action. For one minute, that ally can choose at the start of its turn to gain +10 feet to base land speed, +1 dodge bonus to AC, +1 insight bonus to attack rolls, or +1 luck bonus to saving throws. The choice lasts for 1 round.

"No, no, no. That is very not good. A spirit has been destroyed...Hei Feng. Empower my bolts!" Taizen says beginning to panic as the kami is cleaved down.

Storm Burst. 5/7 Remains.
Storm Burst (versus Touch AC): 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 11
Non-Lethal Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6 Target gets -2 to attack for 1 round.

Oloch, looks like he did factor those in. His ranged attacks on profile are at +2, unbuffed.

Sorry, my mistake! :-O I looked at the throwing axe in the melee seciton.

I'll be more explicit with the buffs to avoid confusion!

I think it safe to assume Carlin reloads and shoots.

She steps 5ft east.
1d20 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 71d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Taizen has better luck, hitting the minotaur and summoning a small stormcloud above the minotaur's squares.

Oloch beefs himself up.

Evelyn
=======================

Mugami and Durm can post ahead.
If movement is involved, could you draw a line if possible.

Evelin drops her rapier and tries to shoot at the man-bull

light crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 8

But the bolt flies away, probably afraid of the minotaur

Janira maintains inspire, takes out her crossbow and shoots.
1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 = 10 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Her bolt goes wide as well.

Minotaur, round 4

Forgot I wanted to post a 'death scene' for Omeshi yesterday. whoops

Omeshi gives a surprised lurch as the minotaur's axe chops through his trunk and halves him in half. As hit top half slides forwards the glowing rune on his chest, heretofore covered with a good deal of foliage, and not accidentally forgotten about *cough* is exposed from all the movement. The gore attack catches him straight in the glyph. Things go still for a moment and then the sigil fades as the branches, twigs, vines, leaves and moss that make up the kami tumble to the ground in a disorganized heap.

Over the heap stands a near invisible form of Omeshi in nearly the exact same shape as before. He seems to shrink some in pain and exhaustion, but moves up behind his master.

He's an outsider (native) so he doesn't really have another plane to go to. If it's okay, I'll play him as a pretty much invisible ghost unable to interact or talk with anyone or anything. If not then he can be too exhausted to be aware of what is going on.

Ayara gives a massive sigh as her companion goes down. He'd done this before, and he was always following her around until she summoned him and gave him enough vegetative material to reform himself. The kami would likely be 'sulking' for days.

She gives the minotaur a glowering look and then forms a glob of acid in her hands. "Dang thing needs to go down, NOW!"

Acid Splash, IC, Bless: 1d20 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 21
Acid Damage, IC: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

hey guys...i've been pretty sick last two day....just getting back into the swing of things...will post in a bit...

Native eidolon, surprising. Then again, i have only ever played vanilla version.

Mugami liquifies another patch of fur.

Oloch, Evelyn

Botting Durm if he hasn't posted by tomorrow morning.

Durm pulls out a loaded sling and flings a bullet at the minotaur.

Sling, inspire, bless: 1d20 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 19 Dmg, inspire: 1d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8

And hit he does, with the bullet hitting the minotaur on the head.
--------------
Minotaur (-29, 8 nl) isn't too happy being hit from the birdman on the other side, and it attempts to cross the water.

Sr check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 Success.
The minotaur pulls through the water's current, and arrives next to Mugami and Taizen.
Axe vs Taizen, pa: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 2 = 23 Dmg: 2d6 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (5, 5) + 4 + 4 = 18

The axe lands heavy on Taizen, sending him to the ground bloodied, as the minotaur looks at the others in

Carlin, Taizen (-9, stabilize check)

GM made an error on the weapon, Mugami, refund the last d6 dmg +2 dealt to your eidolon.

Through stories he heard on his journeys, Taizen calls upon dark powers to manifest and keep him strong. Crossing off Dseperate Bargain.

Temporary HP: 2d10 + 1 ⇒ (6, 5) + 1 = 12 for 3 rounds.

Dark swirls of energy keep Taizen barely standing but also threaten to overtake his mind.

Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 6
Full-Action: Withdraw

He shakes away the dark temptations and flees from the creature.

Taizen, i edited my post.
