GM Fuzzfoot's Carrion Hill PFS run (Inactive)

Game Master PJP

Raynard casts Grease on Pai and moves back. (30ft)

Lini takes 1d6 ⇒ 4 damage from falling timbers. Pai gets slippery.

Round 1: (bold may take actions)
Raynard
Lini (4 dmg) & Droogami (Bull’s strength)
Pai (38 damage, grappled, greased)
Nectanebo

Round 2: (bold may take actions)
Igor & Pebble
Borax (mage armor)
Invisible (gliitered) Spawn of Yog-Sothoth (16 dmg)

Igor and Tiny Pebble left the building at the beginning on round 1. Do they still need to make reflex saves for falling debris on round 2?

Also everyone please remember that the entire building is difficult terrain now (so half-movement). This may reduce Raynard's last move to 15'. At least going half-speed in B2 means no Acrobatics checks so that is a slight upside. :)

Thank you, Raynard, for that +10 to my pathetic bonuses for escaping a grapple!

Pai sees her life flash before her eyes as the glittery invisible tentacles whollop her soundly and hold her fast. Then all of a sudden she's super slippery. Writhing and squirming, she gives all she's got to her escape effort, screaming terrified gibberish all the while.

CMD to escape grapple: 1d20 + 4 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 10 = 30

If she pops free, she'll flee the building post haste.

Igor understands the futility of staying and fighting. He runs with Tiny Pebble towards safety.

"Regroup away from this place. We are no match for this creature."

They will both take the run action but they stay together at Tiny Pebble's top speed. So that means they move 80' this round and they are well off the map.

@GM Fuzzfoot - Igor and Tiny Pebble started Round 2 outside the building so I am assuming that they do not have to roll reflex saves for falling debris. If I am incorrect then let me know and I will roll for them.

@Igor - no. Others will get that luck now.
Pai escapes! Unfortunately, the first square of movement provokes an AoO.

Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Grab: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34

Pai gets regrabbed.

Sorry...

withdraw action doesn't provoke an AoO

Withdraw is a full round action. Escaping a grapple is a standard action.

ahh ok...my bad...thought she was out already then her action

The GM is right unfortunately but there is still hope for Pai.

But she can take a 5' step.

^Yes but taking a 5' step after escaping the grapple would probably not have helped as the monster could simply re-grab her this round. Risking the opportunity attack to fly away was the right move. It just did not work out.

Nectanebo bids his servitor cover their escape from the horror (skeleton double-moves), since he is inclined to agree with Igor's assessment that they haven't got a ghost of a chance against...

...wait. Ghost?

Nectanebo glances behind him, the mischievous look in his eyes only slightly dampened by no longer seeing Igor there.

"Master Bulan, have you ever seen anything like this?" He inquires as, with a flourish, he throws open the darkest and deepest reaches of his coat - from which emerges a veritable flood of twisted ghosts, dancing, screaming, and snapping their ethereal teeth as they storm their way to the monster, its invisible flesh shriveling at the ghostly horde's touch!

Ghostly horde, DC 17 Fortitude save for half: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

If they cannot defeat it now, perhaps it can still be weakened for later!

@Nectanebo - You might want to move into the room as the stairs I think is blocking your line of effect (the GM will have to adjudicate). Otherwise you might do collateral damage to Raynard (and possibly others) if you summon the effect on the stairs and then have them move in. Considering how tight this fight or rout is going to be we need to be careful with any possible missteps. Very nice effect btw. :)

Alright, then; done (assuming being on the stairs is good enough) - and of course I kept collateral damage in mind.

Borax raises an eyebrow apprehensively as Nectanebo starts to undress before him. As the elf's actions become clear Borax exhales in relief.

As a "flood" of ghost seems rather small, Borax quips, "Well, I did think it would be bigger!?"

Borax can hear Pai suffering in back in the building, whirling around and making eye contact with Igor, 'I have a smokestick, if someone things that will be useful? I would need to light it and then throw it immediately."

Igor's acute hearing picks up Borax's question even at the distance of around 70'.

(His Perception modifier is +21 so even with a -7 penalty for distance he can easily hear the question)

The wizard shouts back.

"No, the creature has hearing like a bat. It will not be helpful."

(Blindsight 30')

we are like 20' from each other on the map????

Borax has nothing to combat this creature. Open to suggestions.

Fort save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Maintain grapple: 1d20 + 19 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 19 + 5 = 38

The creature seems to make some gross sucking sounds as it's tentacle pulls Pai in and he enjoys a snack of her blood.

Con dmg to Pai: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Movement draws AoO from Lini and Droogmi, both of which must make Reflex DC 15 saves as well.

Round 2: (bold may take actions)
Lini (4 dmg) & Droogami (Bull’s strength) AoOs
Raynard
Lini (4 dmg) & Droogami (Bull’s strength)
Pai (38 damage, grappled, greased, 2 Con dmg)
Nectanebo

Round 3: (bold may take actions)
Igor & Pebble
Borax (mage armor)
Invisible (glitter) Spawn of Yog-Sothoth (23 dmg)

fort Lini: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
fort Droogi: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

gonna try something to see if we can get Pai free...if not, we'll have to bail...

Enough of this! Lini snarls as she hunches down and starts to change shape. She takes the form of a snow leopard just like Droogi, but with a shock of green hair on her head.

assuming the failed save allows it still...will move up if I cn to full attack next round.

Droogi snarls as he nips and paws at the beast to try to make it let Pai free.

bite: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 = 231d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8
claw1: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 1 = 291d3 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8
claw2: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 = 271d3 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

Droogi AoO: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 1 = 221d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

As the sparkly-yet-invisible tentacles suck away her blood, Pai screams in terrified outrage. "NO! AAAAAAAH! No-no-no-no-no-no-no!" Thrashing wildly, she desperately tries to free herself again.

CMB to escape: 1d20 + 4 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 10 = 33
Nice!

Breaking free, she tries to weave erratically as she flees to avoid being grabbed again.

Acrobatics to leave threatened square: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
She can move 30 ft away from the monster in the direction of the nearest exit. CMD = 16

Checking my understanding of CON damage: this automatically reduces Pai's max HP by 6 (one for each character level, since 2 CON points = 1 HP), correct? In addition to being a -1 on Fort saves and all her kineticist abilities.

if Pai escapes, we'll bail

The effect of the stench is a sickened condition. The character takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

Droogi misses as the creature moves by, but manages to get two claw attacks in now. Does Droogi have magic fang? If not, he did no damage.

@Pai - yes, i think you have this right.

Pai JUST escapes getting re-grabbed (beat it by 1 on the acrobatics).

Round 2: (bold may take actions)
Raynard
Lini (4 dmg) & Droogami (Bull’s strength)
Pai (38 damage, grappled, greased, 2 Con dmg)
Nectanebo

Round 3: (bold may take actions)
Igor & Pebble (far away)
Borax (mage armor)
Invisible (glitter) Spawn of Yog-Sothoth (23 dmg + maybe 14 dmg from Droogi?)

RAynard moves closer and tries to hit the crature.

+1 Scimitar cold iron: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Yay! Since Pai escaped the grapple, I moved her token.

@Raynard, to quote Caduceus Clay: "It's bad. We're running."

@GM Fuzzfoot: Lini did cast Magic Fang on Droogi; see here.

Regarding Air Shroud: It remains up until then end of round 10 for those who have it.

Good for you Pai. The dice gods were with you! :)

I posted a long post in discussion explaining why but Droogami should be hitting with both the bite and the AoO due to the fact that the monster had the Grappled condition at the time of these attacks.

@Pai - thanks! I thought so, but must have forgotten to write it down.
@Igor - your rules clarifications are only correct in some regards, but fail to recognize others. Rather than retrying the entire transaction which would be much much worst for Pai, I am going to leave it stand and we will move on. I will, however, take into account the penalties for the grappling creature RAW even though they make no sense here for any continued issues, including allowing Raynard’s attach to be a hit here.
@Nectanebo - with Igor and Borax effectively out of the battle, you are up and then the monster can go again.

Igor draws forth a scroll of Fly should he need to use it in a possible footrace with the monster. He then moves with Tiny Pebble a further 30 feet from the building.

(They are now 110' away from the building)

Borax continues after Igor. Double move

Igor made a note about not weakening the creature that isn't actually correct. You all DID successfully steal 3 of the keepers from the beast, so it is in a weakened state (and I have been accounting for that - but I did NOT give you weakened stats since your knowledge would not have necessarily known that. I am not trying to talk you into or out of any tactics, but I do want you to know this could be much worse. As such, I will start including the negatives visibly where appropriate.

The creature stops chasing Pai, and turns its attention to Reynard, Lini, Droogi, and the skeleton.

Bite v Lini: 1d20 + 17 - 6 ⇒ (11) + 17 - 6 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Tentacle v Lini: 1d20 + 16 - 6 ⇒ (13) + 16 - 6 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Tentacle v Droogi: 1d20 + 16 - 6 ⇒ (18) + 16 - 6 = 28
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Tentacle v Reynard: 1d20 + 16 - 6 ⇒ (20) + 16 - 6 = 30
Crit confirm?: 1d20 + 16 - 6 ⇒ (2) + 16 - 6 = 12 No.
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Tentacle v Skeleton: 1d20 + 16 - 6 ⇒ (1) + 16 - 6 = 11

All three remaining zombies get crushed by falling debris.

Round 3: (bold may take actions)
Raynard (9 dmg)
Lini (23 dmg) & Droogami (8 dmg, Bull’s strength)
Pai (38 damage, grappled, greased, 2 Con dmg)
Nectanebo

Round 4: (bold may take actions)
Igor & Pebble (far away)
Borax (mage armor,far away)
Invisible (glitter) Spawn of Yog-Sothoth (37 dmg)

Ouch! Stupid beasty! Get him, Droogi! We gotta fight our way out!

Lini takes a 5 ft step back and uses her curing wand to close her wounds

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Droogi keeps up his attacks on the beast.

bite: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 = 141d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6
claw1: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 1 = 221d3 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8
claw2: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 1 = 191d3 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7

Did you take into account flanking? Because if not, the first claw will hit. I will assume you did not.

Round 3: (bold may take actions)
Raynard (9 dmg)
Lini (19 dmg) & Droogami (8 dmg, Bull’s strength)
Pai (38 damage, grappled, greased, 2 Con dmg)
Nectanebo

Round 3: (bold may take actions)
Igor & Pebble (far away)
Borax (mage armor)
Invisible (glitter) Spawn of Yog-Sothoth (45 dmg)

Good to know it could always be worse. :) Pai can always zap and fly away. If she gets lucky with her SR roll she can do some serious damage. I am not encouraging anyone to stick around but free damage on the way out. Why not?

no i hadn't....extra damage is good!

Lini you are wild shaped into a cat. What are you doing with you wand? I think someone forgot. LOL. :)

"Lini! Raynard! Get out of there!" Screaming frantically, Pai takes aim at the flailing glitter monster.

Electric blast vs. Touch AC; Empowered: 1d20 + 7 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 3 - 1 = 23
unempowered damage: 3d6 + 2 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (6, 3, 2) + 2 + 4 - 1 = 16
16 x 1.5 = 24 points of damage total
Includes Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Elemental Overflow, Constitution damage, and Metakinesis (Empower Spell)
Spell Resistance: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Rats.

Her jaw drops to the floor and total terror swells within her as her blast has no effect on the monster. "NO REALLY RUN!!!" She shrieks in panic. This is her worst nightmare: a horrendous murder-monster that's immune to her electric blasts. (At least, that's what it looks like to her right now.) She tenses her whole self, ready to fly away as soon as the others flee or if danger gets too close.

Readying a move action to fly outta there as soon as every one else is beyond the monster's reach or if the building would collapse on her.

Raynard strikes again and starts to move to the exit.

+1 Scimitar cold iron: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

+crit confirm: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Reynard makes an excellent strike, but he just misses a critical pain point. (no confirm - did you include flanking? Still not a confirm, but don't forget your advantages!).

Round 3: (bold may take actions)
Raynard (9 dmg)
Lini (19 dmg) & Droogami (8 dmg, Bull’s strength)
Pai (38 damage, grappled, greased, 2 Con dmg)
Nectanebo

Round 4: (bold may take actions)
Igor & Pebble (far away)
Borax (mage armor)
Invisible (glitter) Spawn of Yog-Sothoth (52 dmg)

Sorry for the delay...again...bad past few days, but they got a bit better late last night.

As a "flood" of ghost seems rather small, Borax quips, "Well, I did think it would be bigger!?"

Humans, Nectanebo reflects. Even the smart ones can scarcely raise their minds higher than their lumbar regions!

His servitor valiantly attempts to distract the (enemy) horror to Lini's benefit...

aid another to grant Lini +2 AC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 Does flank apply to aid another? Add +2 to that if so

...as Nectanebo urges the ghost-storm onward...

Spending another Focus to sustain Ghostly Horde:
Ghostly horde, DC 17 Fortitude save for half: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9

...and briefly grasps the hilt of his Guidingstar, its power invigorating him 1 Focus spent from Guidingstar to gain 5 rounds of Quickness.

Igor stands with Tiny Pebble waiting in vain for the rest of the party to flee.

Just a heads up everyone. The Glitterdust spell will expire at the top of round 6 right before Igor's turn.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 9 - 6 ⇒ (18) + 9 - 6 = 21

I assume Borax is also still running away.

Bite v Droogi: 1d20 + 17 - 6 ⇒ (14) + 17 - 6 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Tentacle v Droogi: 1d20 + 16 - 6 ⇒ (8) + 16 - 6 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Tentacle v Droogi: 1d20 + 16 - 6 ⇒ (6) + 16 - 6 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Tentacle v Lini: 1d20 + 16 - 6 ⇒ (15) + 16 - 6 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Tentacle v Lini: 1d20 + 16 - 6 ⇒ (15) + 16 - 6 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Round 4: (bold may take actions)
Raynard (9 dmg)
Lini (37 dmg) & Droogami (26 dmg, Bull’s strength)
Pai (38 damage, grappled, greased, 2 Con dmg)
Nectanebo

Round 5: (bold may take actions)
Igor & Pebble (far away)
Borax (mage armor)
Invisible (glitter) Spawn of Yog-Sothoth (57 dmg)

Borax seeing his companions are not leaving, returns to the door and tries to figure out exactly when the building is going to collapse so he can warn the group.

K. Engineering wInsp (add to whatever my earlier roll was): 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (16) + 9 + (1) = 26

"EEEEE--cough-cough!" The shrill shriek that escapes from Pai catches in her throat and causes her to choke on her own spittle. She *really* doesn't like having that thing so close to her. Flinging a blast at its face out of sheer panic, she ducks and weaves her way out the door, panting with wild eyes. Trembling in terror, she lets out a blood curdling scream. "AAAAAAAAA--wait! It worked!" She turns in the air, immediately feeling shame at leaving her team in there, especially since she *can* hit it after all.

Electric blast vs. Touch AC, Empowered: 1d20 + 7 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 3 - 1 = 15
Damage before Empowering: 3d6 + 2 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (5, 5, 3) + 2 + 4 - 1 = 18
18 x 1.5 = 27 points of damage total
Includes Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Elemental Overflow, Empower Spell, and Constitution damage
Spell Resistance: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
WOO-HOO!

Acrobatics to leave threatened square: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Raynard steps to the side 5ft and attacks.

+1 Scimitar cold iron: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Borax figures it won't take long for the walls to come tumbling down - 2 rounds at most!

Pai - you are still greased, right? Assuming so, you make your escape.

Pai's electrical damage appears to fully affect the creature! It shudders a bit as it gets tazed.

EDIT: Ninja'd by Raynard!

Raynard follows up with a vicious swing, and he feels it slice alien flesh.

Round 4: (bold may take actions)
Raynard (9 dmg)
Lini (37 dmg) & Droogami (26 dmg, Bull’s strength)
Pai (38 damage, grappled, greased, 2 Con dmg)
Nectanebo

Round 5: (bold may take actions)
Igor & Pebble (far away)
Borax (mage armor)
Invisible (glitter) Spawn of Yog-Sothoth (91 dmg)

It is invisible, but you can sense its end is near...

Droogi snarls as he realizes Lini is in trouble. He heads back to her and starts to collapse from exertion. Lini changes back to her normal shape and prepares a wand.

Round 4: (bold may take actions)
Raynard (9 dmg)
Lini (37 dmg) & Droogami (26 dmg, Bull’s strength)
Pai (38 damage, grappled, greased, 2 Con dmg)

Igor & Pebble (far away)
Borax (mage armor)
Invisible (glitter) Spawn of Yog-Sothoth (91 dmg)

send Pebble over to me..i can cast magic fang on him...

@Grimdog - We are too far away for that to be a reality. At Tiny Pebble's top speed he could only get there in two rounds. You guys are almost there anyways and I can loan Pai my shirt re-roll to bypass the SR roll next round if necessary.
