[PFS2] 1-11 Flames of Rebellion (GM Watery Soup) (Inactive)

Game Master Watery Soup

Crunch and Reev stride up, and looks into the next room. Map opened. The room is currently empty.

Anjo hunts an unknown prey. I will designate the Red Kobold as your prey. He strides up and readies an action.

Xun, you can go for Round 2.

Round 1/2!

Xun
Kobolds
Anjo
Finn
Crunch
Reev
Looni

"They're in full retreat. Keep moving!" Crunch calls out as they wave their allies forward.

"Wait. These critters clearly like their traps. We should proceed cautiously. lest we be led into one. Let try and track their footprints to see what they avoided."

Xun follow the others he picks up his onyx dog status saying quietly

"You did well."

He hides it in his bag and stops next to the wall, bow in his hand

Move, pick up figurine, hide it.

Looni claps delightedly and hurries after his taller companions. ”More things to burn?” he asks, conjuring a translucent shield of force and peering around the corner through it. ”Where?”

Stride twice [AA] and cast shield [A].

"Let try and track their footprints to see what they avoided."

This will be an in-combat Track action. It's 1 action (open) Survival check, but you'll need to make a new roll for every room.

---

Xun and Looni move into the northwest room. The southwest room is empty, and nobody can see past the corner right now.

An eerie quiet permeates the room.

Again, I'll resolve in initiative order, and as soon as someone crosses the yellow line, please pause the action.

Round 2/3!

Xun
Kobolds
Anjo
Finn
Crunch
Reev
Looni

Anjo sneaks up and tries to find the tracks of his prey.

Stealth roll is "Secret"

Track Prey: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14

After listening to their allies, Crunch thinks they have a better grasp on the kobolds' tactics. They move into the other room and into the corner. They raise their shield and stick it out into the opening, but quickly pull it back before they lose their arm.

Stride, raise, and then deception? athletics? to trigger the barrage of crossbow shots that are probably readied and waiting.

Huh. Interesting. I can't find any explicit rules that deal with this, so I'm using my discretion. Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong about this. I'm going to say it's Deception, since you're trying to get them to think you're stepping out.

No arrows shoot at the shield.

Anjo tries to track the kobold, but he can't figure out their path.

The Pathfinders get a look into the next room - there's a checkerboard of lighted squares.

Characters moving through the checkerboard should be explicit as to the path they are taking.

Looni follows behind Crunch, cackling wildly. The air in the room grows uncomfortably hot and smokey, as if a fire visible only by its reflection in the goblin's eyes were burning.

Stride [A] and cast incendiary aura [AA]. This activates the minor effect of Looni's curse, making all creatures further than 30 ft away concealed to him.

Xun runs behind Crunch and speaks to their allies

"Strike true my friends, keep your morale high, those kobolds are nothing for you." he tries to inspire his allies

Inspire courage +1 to attack, +1 to dmg

"Are we trying to shoot them down from here? Or cross this oddly looking floor?"

Move, inspire courage, wasting third action as I think no one is yet able to shoot anyone.

"I can resurrect skeleton to pass through the floor or just get him to shoot. They are fairly resistant to arrows."

I can animate Zombie or Skeleton with resistant 5 piercing and slashing, but 4 HP :D

I believe Orange and Green now see enough of Looni to trigger their readied actions. Orange takes a cover penalty because he can't fully see Looni. Green takes a greater cover penalty because he's shooting through Orange.

Orange Crossbow, cover: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 vs AC+2
Piercing: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Green Crossbow, greater cover: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 vs AC+4
Piercing: 1d8 ⇒ 1

One arrow nicks Looni.

Round 2/3!

Xun
Kobolds
Anjo
Finn
Crunch
Reev
Looni

I cannot tell which map we are on.

Finn moves up, his bird still on his shoulder not taking any actions, and then shoots one of the kobolds.
Shoot: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 = 161d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Slide 5.

Reev moves forward with his friends.

Finn's shot misses.

The kobolds move out from the corner, Red and Yellow returning fire at Finn, while Orange and Green shoot at Reev, who is visible from the south side of the corridor. (reload, Stride, Strike)

Red Crossbow vs Finn: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Piercing: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Orange Crossbow vs Reev, cover: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 2 = 22
Piercing: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Yellow Crossbow vs Finn, cover: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 - 2 = 10
Piercing: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Green Crossbow vs Reev, cover: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 - 2 = 13

Reev (-4 hp)
Looni

From where he is standing, Finn squints his eyes, picking out a target. "Go forward, i will cover you." He takes two shots at red.
Hunt prey on red, hunted shot, shoot.
Shoot: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 1 = 221d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Shoot: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 - 4 = 231d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Shoot: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 8 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 - 8 = 191d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Finn, the GM said RED was my hunted prey. Please choose a different prey to shoot. Alternatively, I'll ask the GM to give me Orange as my Prey. Or, Anjo's init is higher, so his actions take priority.

Anjo moves into position and fires on his prey Orange.

Hunted Shot 1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 Damage wGravity Weapon: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Hunted Shot 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Strike 3: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Xun walks behind his allies and stands a bit behind Anji. He reaches for an arrow and aims with his short dark bow. He let got an arrow continuing to inspire his allies.

Attack@Red or Yellow if red is dead, inspire courage: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13
Damage, piercing, inspire courage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"Keep on firing! Their spirit is weak, they can't stand to our superior firepower."

Move, shoot, inspire courage.
I think Anjo did not add +1 to Inspire Courage to his damage rolls.

Anjo, I picked your hunted prey non-randomly (red is the first color of the rainbow) and then I placed the icons non-randomly (top left to bottom right). In retrospect, this means the one I picked for you was always going to end up in the top left, and that wasn't my intention. I should have just rolled randomly for you (or rolled randomly to place them). I'll do that now and que sera, sera (you may end up with a backrow prey and take a cover penalty, or overlap with Finn). Finn's actions stand.

Red1, Orange2, Yellow3, Green4: 1d4 ⇒ 3

---

Finn puts three arrows in quick succession into Red. Red is very surprised and very hurt, but is still standing.

Anjo recognizes Yellow as the heavy-footed one. He hits Yellow with all three arrows, dropping her. applying lesser cover, IC, and including IC damage

Xun fires an arrow at Red, but it bounces off the wall, and keeps singing.

"Good shooting. This floor looks like problem, though."

Crunch keeps their shield in place, moves ahead of their companions in an attempt to draw fire and provide cover, and looks hard at the glowing tiles versus the normal-looking tiles to determine a safe route.
Perception +4

Reev scuttles across the room to take cover behind the right side of the archway, aims his hand crossbow at the kobold on the left (RED) and fires. He then reloads his crossbow.

◈ Stride
◈ Strike
hand crossbow attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
hand crossbow damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

◈ Interact to reload

Crunch, I'll treat that as a Seek action.

Crunch moves up to the edge of the glowing mosaic, but doesn't see anything that would help them decide which squares are safe and which ones are trapped.

Reev moves up and fires, but in his haste, the bolt flies too high.

Crunch (1 action)
Reev (-4 hp)
Looni

Shield, stride, and seek - I think I'm done.

Looni squints, trying to see the kobolds clearly through the flames engulfing them. He moves closer, behind Crunch and into the open before baring his many teeth in a deranged smile. "Kobolds like dragons, and dragons like fire, yes?" he screeches, throwing a handful of flame at the wounded archer.

Produce Flame, IC vs Red: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 = 19
Fire damage, Burn It, IC: 1d4 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 9

Stride [A] and cast produce flame at Red [AA].

Sorry, Crunch, I missed the shield.

Looni lets a bolt of fire fly, and Red screams in pain as she falls to the ground.

Orange and Green reload and fire at Looni, then retreat around the corner.

Orange vs Looni: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Green vs Looni: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 no cover because Orange moved first
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

The first crossbow bolt grazes Looni's skin, but the second gets him right in the neck.

Yellow Kobold (-21 hp)
Green Kobold
Anjo
Finn
Crunch
Reev (-4 hp)
Looni (-11 hp)

Crunch utters a short but heartfelt prayer to Torag and heals Looni, then takes off on a broken-field zig-zag through the room, careful not to step on the stone tiles with glyphs on them.

Lay on hands for 6 hp healed and +2 AC until end of next turn.
Then double-move diagonally to the far side.

Finn follows crunch, but does not go past him. He will keep his distance between himself and the kobolds.

if Crunch does not trigger any traps, Anjo follows his lead, otherwise I'll wait for GM to resolve movement.

Anjo's hears the kobolds flee around the corner, and designates another one as his new prey.

Two actions pending.

Xun would wait for Anjo and follow after the others. He tries to understand the symbols on the floor.

Occultism +5

Rolling back movement to when Crunch entered a certain square.

As Crunch weaves through the runes, they see some hidden runes light up under their feet. A bloodseeker appears in the square behind them.

It stabs at Crunch with its barbed leg.

Leg: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 miss due to Lay on Hands!
Leg: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 8 - 4 = 9
Leg: 1d20 + 8 - 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 8 = 17

Crunch (2 actions)
Reev (-4 hp)
Looni (-11 hp)

Anjo and Xun can revise if they want.

"Haha!" Looni cackles madly and reaches out to touch the sudden arrival with a burning hand.

Produce Flame, IC: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 = 16 Might be against FF AC - difficult to say
Fire damage, IC, Burn It!: 1d4 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 9

If that hits, the creature catches on fire due to Looni's incendiary aura and takes 2d4+1 persistent fire damage (the +1 is from Burn It).

Casting produce flame at bloodseeker [AA] and shield [A].

Xun keeps on inspiring his friends

"Kobolds are fleeing! Fear got into their hearts and they know, that they can't face us. Strike this being! Kill it!"

Then he calls for magic and throws a piece of wall at it

Telekinetic Projectile, ic: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 = 12
Damage, bludgeoning, ic: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8

Looni gains the +2 AC from the Lay on Hands. So that first strike hits

Crunch whirls around at the arrival of the creature behind them, swearing in goblin at the trap.
They attempt to bring their hammer up into the newly-arrived enemy's head, but their lingering surprise makes the blow come too slow.
Chagrined at having sprung the trap, they raise their shield and bark at the thing in the hope of keeping its attention on them.

Warwammer: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 1 = 13 for 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9 bludgeoning damage.

If the leg hit, then the bloodseeker Attaches to Crunch as a second action, and Blood Drains on the third.

Bleed: 1d4 ⇒ 3

The bloodseeker appears healthier!

Crunch is Drained 1 until they are healed (any amount).

Looni cackles madly and sends fire at Crunch's arm. To Looni's dismay, it only hurts the bloodseeker.

Xun sends a chunk of wall at Crunch, but is far more careful than Looni and misses altogether.

Crunch swings a hammer at their own arm, but can't aim correctly.

Round 4/5!

Anjo designates the blood seeker as his prey and fires his arrows.

Hunted Shot 1 wInspire: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 1 = 25 Damage wGravity Weapon + Inspire: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Hunted Shot 2 wInspire: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 = 23 Damage + Inspire: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

I'm going to assume that kills it.

Yes, very much so.

Crunch's arm is totally unscathed as Anjo cleanly separates the bloodseeker's jaws from Crunch's flesh.

hand crossbow attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
hand crossbow damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

◈ Interact

◈ Hand Crossbow Strike
hand crossbow attack: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 7 - 4 = 21
hand crossbow damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Reev, the bloodseeker is down and you can't see any pther enemies right now.

The map shows Looni and Finn in between the glyphs. Did they trigger anything?

Finn, will pass untill he sees an enemy.

Xun looks at the floor with interest.

Any roll to figure out the symbols?

You can use Perception to Seek.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Apologies for the delay. Needed to update the map and I can't do that from my phone.

Xun and Anjo peer out, and they see a second set of summoning runes marked by green squares. The more visible runes appear to be decoys - they are actually the safest squares to walk on.

Orange and Green shuffle around the corner. They're making some sort of preparation, but haven't shown themselves.

Anjo points out what he sees and then designates GREEN as his prey based on sound.

Crunch raises their shield again, then moves east across both colored and plain stones while avoiding the summoning runes.

Two actions so far, if the movement triggers anything new. Otherwise will continue NE in pursuit.

Finn carefully follows the in Crunches' footsteps, before finishing slighly ahead of his companion, and turning the corner to have a look.
Should have 2 actions left, let me know what i can see gm.
