Gameday 9 - The Confirmation (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

Is the whole group going back with Taizen, essentially midway, or will you continue to explore this tunnel to its end, thereafter going back?

”We should investigate the other path, right? The one we could have followed?!“ Oloch says.

I think we should press on, yes, if only to be sure there is no more enemies ready to attack us. After the place is explored, we will have time enough to come back here, if needed.

[ooc]darn...post got eaten...been happening a bit lately.[/ooc♧

Well, we were taked to explore...so...let's explore...Carlin says as she heads down the other passageway.

The team continues down this tunnel, the sound of running water fading behind them.

The route through it leads through a maze of tight passages that include steep ascents and short climbs as they wind from west to east.

1d6 ⇒ 3
============================

At some point, the team gets through a tricky spot and, Oloch much to his surprise, sees some weird transparant 'things' down two separate pathways near him. They start moving, and headed his way!

Slide 5.

Amoebas, round 1

Carlin
Taizen, Durm
Evelyn, Mugami
---------------------
Amoebas
---------------------
Oloch

Umm...maybe we should fall back? Funnel them and deal with them one at a time? Carlin asks as she tosses a blob if acid at the one straight ahead of her.

touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 51d3 ⇒ 3

Ayara silently gives a moment of thanks that they aren't going back to that one room of worship again. She trundles down the hallway her pack weighing heavy on her shoulders. When the blobs show up she drops her pack with a grateful thud and then plucks her longspear off of it. "I can try providing assistance from ehind whoever is in front. We should probably not advance..."

"Is everything alright up there? We are falling back? Are we there yet?" Taizen calls from the back of the line, confused as to what is happening ahead as he peers through the all the limbs of his comrades.

Knowledge (Nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 That is a lot of soft-cover between me and the enemy so I don't know if I can really get a good look yet.

He places his talons on Durm as he peeks around, blessing him with Guidance. Guidance on Durm: +1 on a check within 1 minute.

Botting 3 people? Mamma mia.

Durm gives a friendly nod to Taizen's magic and moves forward. As he reaches Oloch he sees the creatures.

"Oloch, would you have that one, i shall take care of the other one.", and he faces Red.
Evelyn, seeing it will likely be a 1 vs 1 atm, lets Oloch do his thing.
-------------------------
The amoebas make slam attacks against the agents.
Slam vs Durm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8Bump+acid: 1d3 + 1 + 1d3 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (2) = 6
Slam vs Oloch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13Bump+acid: 1d3 + 1 + 1d3 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (2) = 4

Both creatures fail to hit their respective targets.

Oloch swings his weapon at the amoeba.

Greatsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 6) + 6 = 17...and it leaves a mess on his sword, but he gets rid of the thing. He moves 5ft further to let the others come closer.
===============================

Who takes the kill??

Everyone

Nicely done! Carlin says excitedly as she moves forward and tosses another ball of acid at the blob.

touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 201d3 ⇒ 2

Despite some hefty cover, Carlin manages to catch a glimpse of the critter and hits it. It is not near demise, however.

Evelyn readies her rapier

Durm, can you move a little so I can strike at our foe?

If Durm complies, she strikes. If he doesn't, well, his bad.

Readied attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Readied attack, Crit?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Storm Burst: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 3 - 4 = 6
Damage (Non-Lethal): 1d6 ⇒ 3 –2 penalty on attack rolls for 1 round

Taizen moves up to see what the commotion is, "Yuck! Giant Amoebas, I wouldn't eat those if I were you...in case you were thinking about it." he says while attempting to summon another bout of bad weather over the creature.

I was not bolded. :-)

Oloch swings his weapon at the amoeba.

Greatsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 202d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 6 = 9

The agents all go wild on the critter, and the killer is to be determined.

The one certainty is that weapons are dirty, and the path further down clear.

The path leads you on, and eventually, the sound of birds faintly reach your ears, and daylight comes from some 100 feet ahead. The exit!!

Your tunnel exits a bit away from where you had entered, and you find Janira sitting writing in her journal. As you come near she looks up,

"Oh! Where did you come from? I had expected you to come back from the entrance."

"From the cave, Mrs. Janira? This tunnel here." Taizen says turning his head sideways at the question.

He starts to show her his drawings thus far, "The gillman is nice but he can't understand me...shame because I would love to learn more about what he is doing in there. Do we have time to head back in or are more of the massive axe-toting monsters lurking about?" he asks the halfling.

Janira nods.
"Of course you have time. I am waiting until you have concluded your search."

Well, back we go then... the aasimar says as she heads back into the caves.

"Are we really going to go back through that room of worship? Ugh fine. I guess we are... but I'm leaving the bag here seeming as this is the only place this thing exits from!" She heaves her back onto the ground and then stands up straight her back popping as she does. She takes only her longspear and the clothing and armor she wears all the time. "Well, if I don't have to carry that thing, I might be able to stand the indignant irony of the worship room."

And so the group re-enters the cavern, ending up again at the central chamber, where Uori still sits in silent prayer and meditation.

Right now the team picks the remaining unexplored tunnel.
===========================================
1d6 ⇒ 5

The cave’s damp air becomes increasingly stale as you continue down through this tunnel, and the stench of decay grows increasingly evident.
The passage turns to the east and opens into a small cavern littered with bits of broken glass, rotting pieces of paper, and other unusable detritus. The body of a male humanoid lies face down toward the back of the cavern.

Also within this cavern, now turning their heads towards Oloch, are four undead creatures. Two are half decayed gillmen, and two others are but walking skeletons.

Undead, round 1

Taizen
Carlin, Durm, Evelyn
--------------
Skeletons
Zombies
--------------
Mugami, Oloch

Carlin smiles as she casts a spell at the undead wearing the tattered green tunic.

touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 221d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 disrupt undead

Psst, crit confirm roll? :)

crit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 61d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7derp...didnt realize i rolled a 20...

Feeling claustrophobic in the tunnels, Taizen chooses to wait for Oloch and the others to make their move.

Delaying.

These are something Durm feels better about facing than large ooze things. Squeezing past the others, he makes his way in and strikes out at the blueish one. Unfortunately, he slips on a bit of slime, and misses.

Attack, unarmed: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Evelyn moves toward the zombies, rapier in hand... and fails spectacularily to hit the yet unmoving corpse

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Oloch, your greatsword will be appreciated this side of the fight..

Wow, snake eyes?

Desna must be smiling on Carlin that moment, as she managed to hit a nearly unseeable foe with acid.
Hefty penalties there, it's just barely visible to you.
The others quickly fan out, picking out their own targets as they enter the small area. Though initial attempts weren't as effective, almost as if Carlin's great luck put a portion of misfortune on those attacks.
---------------------
Skeletons
Cyan claws away at Durm.
Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 201d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 91d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
The first claw scrapes a mean one on the tough oread, but he dodges the second claw.

Green (-3) moves to engage Oloch.
Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 191d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Oloch takes a scrape across the face, much to his surprise.

Zombies
Both take Evelyn as their target.
Red slam: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 Dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Evelyn easily steps aside to avoid this poorly aimed fetid fist.
Yellow walks around.
-----------------------
Mugami, Oloch, Taizen

"Chop it down with that mighty weapon of yours!" Taizen encourages the warpriest with guidance.

Oloch: +1 to a check within 1 minute.

Oloch swings his weapon at the green zombie.

Greatsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 212d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 6 = 10

The green zombie skeleton is sent flying into pieces from a hefty blow.

Mugami

Carlin, Durm, and Evelyn can post ahead.

can i see yellow from my position? will roll to use disrupt undead if i csn...if not, i'll wait til the others ho so i can move up...is that cool?

touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 81d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

As is, i would say yellow it outside of proper view, as most of it is behind the wall, and two team members standing between it and you.

thought so....just wanted a ruling....will wait then...

Ayara pulls out her longspear and waits for a moment to get in closer and help be a distraction without being a liability.
Ready an action to move into an open spot that doesn't provoke if one opens up.

So Carlin and Mugami are delaying for space.

Undead, round 2

Taizen, Durm, Evelyn
--------------
Skeleton
Zombies
--------------
Oloch

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Evelyn stands her ground, as if she was readying herself to fend off the zombies attack, then her rapier darts, with a little more precision than her first attack.

But will it be enough?

*jab*... it was not close enough, as Evelyn's arm scrapes against the wall in her enthusiasm to harm the zombie.

Durm swings his fist against the skeleton.
Fist: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 Impact, dragon style: 1d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8
He punches the skull right off, the rest of the skeleton collapsing onto the floor.

Taizen casts guidance again on Oloch.

Carlin & Mugami
---------------------
Zombies
---------------------
Oloch

Oh for the love of...Carlin says, not finishing her thought as she darts forward and tries to avoid the claws of the zombie and stands beside Durm.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

i assume that doesn't get me clear. if it dies, I'll cast disrupt undead kn yellow...

touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 171d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Carlin darts past Oloch and yellow, which swings its fetid arm as she goes.
Aoo: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Bump: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Even though Carlin's maneuver isn't quick enough to avoid a reaction, the zombie's reaction itself is poor, and she disrupts the necromantic energies animating it with a well aimed disrupt undead spell.

Mugami
------------
Red zombie
Yellow zombie (-7)
------------
Oloch

Mugami hurries herself past Oloch and the zombie, the thing still sluggishly retaking its former stance.
------------------
The zombies keep their attention focused at Evelyn.

Slam: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 Bump: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Slam: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 Bump: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Crit?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 Bump: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 Nope.

While the red zombie's aim is piss poor, the yellow one hits her square in the jaw as she leaned slightly back in response to red zombie.
-------------------
====> Oloch

Undead, round 3

Durm, Evelyn, Taizen
Carlin & Mugami
---------------
Red zombie
Yellow zombie (-7)
---------------
Oloch

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Evelyn decides to step up her game and strike, teasing the undead until they launch their own attack, hoping to land a counterstrike

Parry: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Riposte: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Panache 1/2, Rapier do Piercing damage

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Taizen grows impatient and decides to slide by the skeleton before joining in on attacking.

Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage (B/P/S): 1d3 ⇒ 3

i just realized i should have done 6 damage...not 7...hit 2 instead of 1...my bad...missed that

Oloch greatsword, flank: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 122d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 6 = 11
Oloch decapitates the zombie, after which Taizen navigates the room to bite into red. And it tastes horrible!

Evelyn jabs her rapier into the chest of red, yet withdraws it without any harm to the walking corpse.

Durm 2x moves to close the space the zombie can move within.

Carlin & Mugami
----------------------
Red zombie (-3)
----------------------
Oloch

Who takes the kill??

Just die, fiend! Carlin says as she sends a ray of energy at it.

touch: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 2 - 4 = 61d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The fiend stands behind rock, thus Carlin moved around. All her allies in the way, makes for a less than accurate aim.

3d20 ⇒ (4, 3, 15) = 22
With one enemy left, i'll just call it quits. I don't think you'll mind.

Mugami and the zombie both miss attacks they make, but Oloch cuts off this zombie's head as well, ending the final threat the pathfinders faced within these caverns.

As far as loot is concerned, you find among the fallen bodies, a note
written that details plans to start an army of undead made from the “fish people” who have been frequenting this cave.
--------------------------------------

The team leaves the tunnel and the cavern, meeting back up with Janira, who is eager to hear of further developments.
Once you have updated her, she writes down some quick notes on your endeavor. "Alright, let's head back and complete your confirmation."
--------------------
========================
Back at the Lodge
========================
Master of Scrolls Kreighton Shaine excitedly inquires about your mission. He seems as excited as a child on a sugar rush.
With you six being the foremost experts on the inside of the cave, he offers for you to give it a name!

A few days later, each is summoned to be given their reward for the mission. A wayfinder if this is XP #1. As well as a strong expression of best of luck in your further career.

Of course, that career entitles you risking your very lives, whereas the higher ups sit comfortably in their sofas, nipping wine near the fireplace.

1 XP and 2 PP. Well done people. :)
