Gameday IX Slaver's End 10-21 by Curaigh (Inactive)

Game Master Curaigh

Thanks GM!!

After Dana and the team are ready with the searching she positions herself behind Kishara to confront the people.

I think Dana would say us about voices and we can move.

You have the chance to set up a surprise round.

Initiative:
VT Gold: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
VT Sapphire: 1d20 ⇒ 19
VT Emerald: 1d20 ⇒ 17
Kishara: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Arkolo: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Marduk: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Ezren: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Khugron: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Dana: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

What do you want do? set yourself up, and give me an action.

Sapphire (19):
Arkolo (18):
Emerald (17):
Kishara (12):
Dana (12):
Gold (10):
Khugron (10)
Ezren (9):
Marduk (7):

Ezren prepares Glitterdust.

Kishara's Surprise action

Option A. If door is opened by someone else, rage and hit foe on other side if there is one I can reach(partial charge if needed). Option B Kick door in.

Arkolo opens the door to a room where the chaos of construction reigns. Remains of a bedroom and smoking parlor linger amidst piles of debris, construction materials, and misplaced tools. A pair of tengus stands near four other figures in this room. The tengu on the right shimmers a moment, then the tengu on the left shimmers the two combining into one and shifting apart again.

Due to the shape of the room, most of the posted actions do not quite work. To simplify I will make the 'surprise' round be everyone's action to move into the room. I will let you place your tokens (surprise) and then we begin round 1 (posted actions-or a new action if you wish to change now that you can see the room).Sorry if I didn't give you enough information. Please remember to ask if you have questions.

Round 1
Arkolo (18):
Emerald (17):
Kishara (12): dagger
Dana (12):
Gold (10):
Khugron (10)
Ezren (9): glitterdust
Marduk (7):

Placed myself

Same

placed

Do it!

1d12 ⇒ 10 What's this for, btw?

Kishara moves in swiftly, drawing her swords and striking at the Tengu.

Round 1
+1 Shortsword(Adamantine): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Crit Confirm?: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 Crit Damage?: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Sneak Attack?: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 5) = 16

I still think she could get that dagger throw off in surprise based on positioning, just maybe with a range penalty. If so, included movement as part of my round 1 action. If not, she will be in position at the beginning of round 1. If the Tengu is the only enemy here, she will 5-foot step to the west of him to gain flanking, but she won't put her back to a hostile. Her acrobatics is +13 if she needed it in surprise.

1d12 What's this for, btw?

Odds or evens?

(Please also post your first round.)

Oh, I was supposed to pick. I was thinking we were still going with odd is good from earlier. That works for me. I am odd, and that is good. XD

Placed and ready to go!

Sorry if that wasn't clear. Everyone can take their action:

Kishara's blade flies unerringly for the Tengu's brachial artery. Instead of blood gushing there is a release of magic energy and one of Tengu pirate disappear!

The pirate squawks a prayer to Besmara and attacks the rogue with a long, nasty looking lash of leather. "More slaves for Jirandiel? Excellent." He also pecks at Kishara with his long beak!

whip: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28, slashing: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 hit
whip: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18, slashing: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 miss
bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8, slashing: 1d3 ⇒ 2 miss

Round 1
Arkolo (18): <--here now
Emerald (17): attacks K
Kishara (12): daggers an image
Dana (12):<--here now
Khugron (10)<--here now
Ezren (9): glitterdust (or <--here now
Marduk (7): <--here now

First, I wanna try to identify the spell for the disappeared

spellcraft: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29

First, I wanna try to identify the spell for the disappeared

[dice=spellcraft] 1d20+15

It is illusion magic very similar to mirror image called... Duplicate? Double? (I don't have the PDF with me ATM.

No glitterdust, I delay waiting for my partners, we are many vs. one ... I probably use again my magic missile wand

Arkolo advances into the room for a better shot before letting fly!

Twang!: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 = 16
Thud: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

With a roar, Khugron stepped up a bit, smashing the tengu with the adamantine bec de corbin causing a spray of gore. "That why hasss ponchosss" he said as the red mist settled to the ground.

Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 341d10 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19
Attack Crit?: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 312d10 + 34 ⇒ (7, 8) + 34 = 49
Attack 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 191d10 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20
Rage/PA/Furious Focus with Phalanx formation. 68 points of damage for the crit.

Marduk moves forward as well and goes to slash the chief!

+2 Orc Double Axe (Single attack): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32
for Slashing: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Wow! I really think that our tengu is dead or near ... I am only going to use my magic missile wand

Ezren uses again his wand and a light missile appears and hits the tengu.

magic missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Nat 20!

Arkolo's arrows hits a loose hanging board and the tengu ducks out of its way. Khurgon steps forward. The bec d corbin slashes the beak d' corvid with a terrible ferocity, nearly splitting the sea witch in half. As mighty as the blow is however the tengu still stands.

"Besmara be praised!" he cries and some of his wounds seem to close. He sees an opening and lashes at Marduk as the Garundi women steps over a pile of discarded plaster. The whip hisses almost silently and then cracks! sssSSS-NAP

The wildling doesn't seem to notice either and slashes at the pirate, dropping the creature onto a ragged broom that cracks and sends a quieting dust into the air.

A nearly invisible missile cuts through the dust and the tengu pirate is no more!

AoO vs M: AoO whip: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33, dmg: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Ezren, if you want an unconscious pirate instead of a dead one or if you want to save a wand charge, you can hold back. :)

The chaos of construction reigns in this room. Remains of a bedroom and smoking parlor linger amidst piles of debris, construction materials, and misplaced tools. There are also four slaves here, currently chained around a support beam in the wall.

"Please," gasps one, "Free us."The slaves are all exhausted from overwork and suffering from hunger and dehydration.

Kishara pulled a filled waterskin from her pack while she located her thieves tools and handed it to the bound slaves. "Don't worry, we're going to get you out of here. Do you know if there are other slaves here?"

Then she set to work releasing their bonds.
Disable Device: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 16 + 2 = 26
Disable Device: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 16 + 2 = 34
Disable Device: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 16 + 2 = 36
Disable Device: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 16 + 2 = 25

Any shackles she fails to unlock, she will us the chime of opening on.

"You are all very fast in your aggressive reactions!" she says to her team mates.

She then nods at Kishara and moves her heavily encumbered and corpulent body to the slaves.

"We will do everything we can to help you! Tell us, what did you see here? What can you tell about your captors!"

Ok, I go to hold that MM

- We are looking for some partners, pathfinders. Do you know anything about other prisoners?

Khugron frowned that the foe was no longer standing as the rage passed from him, before helping free the slaves with Kishara.

Well, that is the first time that the foe did not get killed out right on a crit. It would need to make a DC 14 fort save or be staggered for a round but I think that does not matter now.

68 damage is nothing to sneeze at, but it is not 88 :) Kishara rolled two crits leaving not much there for Marduk to bloody the floor with. :)

"Pathfinders? one of the slaves asks, "I am Kaborghia, the leader of the expedition sent here to investigate the island. We had discovered some tablets tied to the Katheer’s Venicaan College." He goes quite. "I will speak no more on the matter. Except to Ambrose Valsin."

They freed Pathfinders can tell you that Flak’ak, the tengu doubles as Jirandiel’s first mate and ship surgeon. He enjoys spending his shore-leave tormenting his slaves, who are building a new wing of the estate.

Jirandiel herself has the keys, as Flak'ak has lost them on more then one occasion and is no longer allowed his own set.

oops!:

Kishara successfully disabled two locks. The others are able to move about, but their hands are manacled. (prior to chime of opening at least :)

Standing there wearing a blood coated poncho, the 6' 10 Najaji looked down at Kaborghia. "This DOC, think you not tell everything. Out with it!" Khugron said, thumping the floor with the butt of the bec de corbin.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Dana puts a pink lock out of her face.

diplomacy: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 33

"I understand that you want to speak with Ambrose Valsin but we are from the Silver Crusade Faction and will listen to everything that you have to say!"

Kaborghia does not speak more of his mission, but he does talk about some chips of stone engraved with the names of the dead. "They are called death tokens. They contain the names of all the slaves who had died while under Jirandiel’s control. There is a pile of them, buried by the docks. Again he thanks you for rescuing them.

Arkolo offers Khugron a nod of respect before searching the unconscious body of their target and helping the others to release the slaves.

I think that we should have to take that tokens. For honor the deads. Some of them may be pathfinders, and all of them are victims.

On his wrist the tengu has a bracelet filled with magical charms.

What or where to next? (& if you have more questions for the Pathfinders, I will retcon them in!)

Ezren tries to identify the items.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 181d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 291d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 331d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 261d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 321d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35

Meanwhile he asks:

- Where are more prisioners? How [many guards are here?

Nat 20!

potion of fly,
scroll of alter winds

oops the belt of incredible dexterity +2, boots of the cat are from the other tier. Sorry to tease you like that. :(

"Prisoners? there are no other prisoners. We four are all that remain alive.' The team of pathfinders can also tell you about seven of the pirates. The two you have not yet encountered are the captain Jirandiel and the traitor Phlegos.

What or where to next? Upstairs, downstairs, the privy, the kitchen?

Dana is quite shocked.

"Only ... only you survived?!? All dead?" she asks incredulously.

"It is time to confront the traitor Phlegos! And then forget about it ..." she says with blank look on her face.

She starts moving to the privy.

Can you please move her on the map?

perception: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (15) + 22 = 37

Ezren talks to prisoners.
Do you know where are captain & Phlegos? Upstairs or downstairs?

Someone wants potion of fly, scroll of alter winds ??

Kishara is similarly subdued by the news of so many Pathfinders lost forever. "Don't forget, we need to take the bastard alive." She cautioned while looking at Khugron, but also telling herself as much as anyone.

Someone wants potion of fly, scroll of alter winds ??

"I can probably use those to deal with the trap again, if it has reset. Do any of you know how to deactivate the warding runes in foyer?" She asked the four freed slaves.

Is the wand part of the higher tier too?

The ex-slaves struggle to speak, remembered beatings slowing their tongues. "The captain is upstairs most likely," their loyalty to the Society overcoming their fears. "We have not seen the traitor in quite some time. They are unaware this place has a downstairs.

They know nothing of the trap in the foyer. "We have not been out of this room in weeks."

You may continue asking questions of them if you want to. Correct the is no wand in this tier.

Dana heads into the privy, though she finds nothing of note (it is a room she has already searched).

Marduk bares her teeth and snarls when she hears the pathfinders are the last alive.

"Traitoooor!" she growls with murderous intent.

She then looks left and right before adding "We should storm the place. Maybe we find something more."

Ready to move upstairs, for instance.

"We will make sure to repay his kindnesss towardsss you." Khugron said with a growl.

Upstairs is fine

Though the runes are starting to reform, it is clear that the magic is not yet active in the main foyer and the party makes it to the top of the stairs. Double doors lead south, a single door leads north. (again the map is tilted).

Please let me know what you want to do and which way you decide to go. In the interest of time, I am posting both options, but please only check the spoiler of the direction you wish to go. Three in agreement, will be enough for me :)

EDIT: We are now on slide 5.

Dana opens the northern door after checking for traps.

perception : 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (2) + 22 = 24

Now opening spoiler. Ahh, another privy.

She moves to the other doors and checks for traps.

perception : 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (7) + 22 = 29

If there are no traps she waits for the others to come as well and then opens the door.

Ezren follows Dana.

I don`t go to roll perception with +1 :D

Before heading up the stairs, Kishara quickly goes over their resources to be sure they are distributed to their best advantage. She also handed over her wand of infernal healing to either Ezren or Dana so they could cast it on her, healing her up from her wound from the last fight.

wand of blur (6 charges) Could be cast on all of us before the fight
pearl of power (1st level), Ezren has one already, Maybe Dana can use?
potion of shield of faith Khugron has lowest total AC but Dana has lowest touch AC, neither has a ring of protection so they get full effect, probably best to give to Dana and give Khugron a barkskin
oil magic weapon (2), Kish can use one on her sap if no one needs
potion of barkskin (2), Khugron and Marduk can get full benefit of these
potion of cure moderate wounds x 2 Kish can carry one of these into battle
potion of fly, ??? We could turn Dana into a zeppelin? XD
scroll of alter winds
acid (2),
antitoxin (2); Kish can carry one of these into battle
cloak of resistance +2, Kish has lowest saves overall, so she can wear this instead of her +1 cloak

Kishara gets her dagger in hand and nods when she is ready to head in, then casts Vanish on herself.

Marduk stands ready, axe in hands before Dana opens the door.
