GM Erich's 9-13 The Lions Justice (Tier 7-11) (Inactive)

Game Master Thereus, Silver Crusader

Evermore increases his bravery as Matrialda blinds the group. Wembly hastens the entire party and Cassandra ensures the blindness for one.

yellow will vs glitterdust: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
orange will vs glitterdust: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
red will vs glitterdust: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
pink will vs glitterdust: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
red fort vs blindness: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

"Shouldn't you be helping...oh...I see..." Kahwen says as the guards focus more on keeping them out than helping the people within.

He starts to rush the closest guard, feeling an extra burst of speed as he does so.

"Haste! I love haste!" he declares, his eyes shining bright.

His sword is whipped out of his sheath as he moves and cuts a diagonal arc across his target's chest.

+1 keen elven curve blade plus Haste: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 14 + 1 = 31 Slashing plus SA: 1d10 + 11 + 4d6 ⇒ (3) + 11 + (2, 6, 4, 1) = 27

So close to a crit! Assuming that hits, he/she is Bleeding 4 and has a -2 to all attacks and a -4 to hit Kahwen.

Kahwen is able to bloodily eliminate one of the four before he could even react.

damage: 1d6 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25

"Shouldn't you be helping...oh...I see..." Kahwen says as the guards focus more on keeping them out than helping the people within.

He starts to rush the closest guard, feeling an extra burst of speed as he does so.

"Haste! I love haste!" he declares, his eyes shining bright.

His sword is whipped out of his sheath as he moves and cuts a diagonal arc across his target's chest.

[dice=+1 keen elven curve blade plus Haste]1d20 + 14 + 1 [dice=Slashing plus SA]1d10+11+4d6

So close to a crit! Assuming that hits, he/she is Bleeding 4 and has a -2 to all attacks and a -4 to hit Kahwen.

Kahwen, if your elven curve blade is keen then that is a crit.

Elven curved blades have a crit range of 18-20. Keen doubles that to 15-20.

Confirming that crit would kill the guard outright I'm sure.

Mivvy is able to grab her own quick victory against the furthest foe. The blinded guards attempt to fight back, but only one is able to get a lucky strike in on the rogue.

yellow guisarme vs Mivvy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 262d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4) + 3 = 101d100 ⇒ 8

I think red is within 30 ft

You were so close, but he's over there!

Misfortune revelation, reroll the attack

May the Dawnflower guide you all

Bless

Assuming in the abstraction that helping the other squads does not really help the mission, so will assume they are ok...

It hardly seems fair. These guards are just stalling or something. They cannot be the main assassin I'd almost bet.
Something seems off. Wembly scratches his thin beard as he tries to figure if it is worth doing anything further.

We have got to get those doors open pronto!

The Bralani will cast mirror image on itself then scout ahead, trying to get to the door behind the guards to open it.
1d4 ⇒ 2 4 images total

Wembly, seeing the fight almost over for his team, casts invisibility upon himself and follows behind the Azata.

Mivvy sashays to the next guard. 5ft step
Her blade flashes again.

attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34
damage: 1d6 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22

attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
damage: 1d6 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21

Crit confirm: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18
Extra damage: 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

D'oh! Part of the point of this build is the critting. It is keen. For some reason, I was thinking the base crit was 19-20. Thanks for keeping me straight, guys.

In an uncharacteristic move, for him, especially after being hit, Kahwen does not dart around the battlefield. Instead, he just takes a careful step to get to the next guard and starts cutting, his slender, curved blade dancing like a viper to strike from all directions.

+1 keen elven curve blade: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33 Slashing: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

+1 keen elven curve blade: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 Slashing: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

+1 keen elven curve blade: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23 Slashing: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Crit Confirmation 1 plus Tengu Favored class: 1d20 + 14 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 14 + 4 = 38 Slashing: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Crit Confirmation 1 plus Tengu Favored class: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28 Slashing: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

The second will go to yellow if the first down's red.

Evemore will hold his attack, seeing that the group have things in order.

@Wembley The Lion Blades are having no trouble with their guards either

Kahwen feels for his wound and realizes the guard's blade actually hit his flintbox instead. Wembly disappears after sending his summons forward. Bolstered by his newfound luck, Kahwen dual slices both remaining guards in a single fluid motion and they drop like sacks of grain.

There is a nauseous thud as the doors bulge outward from the poor senators and guests trying to escape the carnage in the chamber. The screams and pleas grow louder and you can tell dozens, if not hundreds, remain trapped behind the barred doors.

Up to 4 characters can position around the doors to deal with the thick wooden crossbar barring the exit. It can be removed with either a strength check (with up to 3 aids) or destroyed with enough damage from a bludgeoning or slashing weapon.

red reroll vs Kahwen: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Not exactly in initiative, but things are happening, to say the least. All can act - but Evermore, Matrialda and Mivvy have an extra round of actions before "time advances"...

Cassandra is too frail to help with any lifting. She stands ready to twist fate for her allies.

Misfortune if it looks like the lifters are going to fail.

We are not a strong group. Mivvy's blade, however, is adamantine...

Using weapon versatility to switch to slashing as a free action Mivvy begins to hack at the wooden crossbar.

I'm never sure how this works. Is it an auto-hit? An auto-crit?

@Mivvy There is an attack roll (nearly automatic though) for each strike unless you take a full round action to line up a single hit. Objects are immune to criticals.

If anyone is going to take this route, go ahead and roll several rounds of attacks and damage and we'll see how long it takes to breach.

The Azata will also hack with its scimitar.

Wembly really needs to buy a spare adamantine weapon to give to his summons for these can-opener situations.

Well, have at it, Byron!

The outsider wields its scimitar in both hands and starts hacking the door with zeal.

Evemore claps his hands, runs up to Mivvy and also casts heroism on her, ["Thank you, for being with us Mivvy."

Matrialda moves to the side in an attempt to clear a path for those fleeing once the doors are opened.

Thankfully haste will give folks an extra attack each round, which might make the difference with an adamantine weapon. I was really hoping pilfering hand might have been of use here, but a bar is a bit more than a Steal or Disarm maneuver can handle.

If only Mivvy wasn't a crit-fisher, and the big Ulfen was here with us...

attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
damage, adamantine: 1d6 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21

The beam is breached after a full round of hacking.

Crunching easily through the splintering wood, the group manages to break the bar. Throwing the doors open, the wide eyed faces of the Taldan governors and guests literally scream at you as they scratch and crawl over each other in an attempt to leave first.

Within the chamber, Stavian’s loyal soldiers, Ulfen Guards, foreign agents, and other powers work to enact the grand prince’s purge. Several of the dignitaries with combat expertise fight back against the Taldan traitors. Many have been slaughtered this day.

Three figures watch the bloody carnage from thirty feet above. A woman clad in a silver breastplate and flashing a rapier hovers and watches with delight as the plan comes to fruition. She is flanked on either side by devils wielding ranseurs, their twin pairs of mangy wings flapping in concert to keep them aloft.

She spots the doors open and smiles wickedly, screaming with measured anger over the din. "And now the Pathfinders have arrived! Too late, I say! But I, Karina Deckland, will avenge my sister's fate! Kill them!" New pictures

NOTE: The pink lines show the full extent of the crowd (The entire senate chamber and roughly 30 feet around each open door). It takes 2 squares of movement to enter a square with crowds. The crowds provide cover for anyone who does so, however.

Knowledge (Planes): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

[Ooc] special attacks, special defenses[/dice]

Magaav devils, their breath is terrible

”Young woman, get down here at once.” Matrialda points a finger at the flying woman, and a ripple in the air flashes from the one on the ground to the one in the air.

Dispel Check, Trait, Specialized Spell: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 22

Casting dispel magic on Purple, targeting the spell that is keeping her airborne.

Missed one thing from before.
Karina's mirror images: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Evemore squeels, and tries running, before his dark form takes over. "Excellent...now we're talking..." he radies his magic missile, at hte next target that decides to cast a spell in teh room.

Evermore readies for action and Matrialda forces the woman down from her height. She floats effortlessly to the outstretched pier below. One of the devils soars across the chamber to engage the Lion Blades who have also breached their door. "We've got this one!" Your allies shout out to any who can hear.

Mivvy activates her knight-inheritors ring to cast bless weapon on her rapier.

Then she moves quickly into the middle of the room.

Her eyes rove through the crowd and the bodies, looking for her father.
perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

@Mivvy The interior the room counts as difficult terrain, so I moved you back a bit.

Mivvy attunes her weapon and rushes in - scanning the crowd for familiar faces. At first glance, there is too much confusion and violence to spot those dear to her. As she tries to focus, the devil dives toward her and stretches fully with his polearm thrust.

red ranseur vs Mivvy: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 2 = 262d4 + 6 ⇒ (3, 3) + 6 = 12

Kahwen looks around at the situation, the crowds on the ground, the enemies in the air. You could almost swear that he smiles, though its hard to tell with someone who has a beak.

He focuses and flexes his shoulders and arms and back and in almost an instant a pair of large raven wings sprout from his shoulders. He gives a jump and, before he can fall back down, those wings catch the air and lift him further.

He flies up until he's on a level with the devil attacking Mivvy but does not fly in, yet.

Actions - Activate Tengu Wings, fly up 10'.

@Kahwen, you'd need a DC 20 fly check to move straight up. I moved you out into the chamber to get you in position for attack next round, but feel free to roll the fly check instead.

Kahwen takes flight to match the others. Karina concentrates then she again takes flight, listing over to the recessed walls and out of view of some of you.

Matrialda <see invisibility, heightened awareness, mage armor>

Assuming that's fly she's casting based on the flavor text...

Spellcraft vs DC 21: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

As the woman casts her spell, Matrialda waggles a finger. "Not so fast, young lady."

Matrialda is using her Counterspell exploit to counter Karina's spell as it is being cast. Because she has fly prepared (due to not swapping it out for seek thoughts since we didn't have time), she can use a 3rd lvl slot and gains a +5 bonus on the check.

Counterspell, Spell Prepared: 1d20 + 7 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 5 = 28

"And stop trying to hide," the matriarch continues, pushing her way towards the doorway through the mass of people. "Grow up and face the consequences of your actions." Again a ripple of magic races from the older woman to the younger.

Dispel, Trait, Specialized Spell: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 29

Targeting the mirror images this time. Yay for the counterspelling build finally getting to do some counterspelling!

Evermore will just fire off his magic missile from teh previous turn this round, at one of the devils.

Cassandra pushes through the crowd until she can see Karina.

I was there when your sister met her fate. She was a traitor to Absalom like the rest of your family and got exactly what she deserved.

Cassandra stretches out one arm and a small rod pops into her hand.

Join her in darkness

spring loaded wrist sheath, lesser reach metamagic rod, casting Blindness/Deafness as a long range spell. DC 20 Fort or permanently blind

Wembly invisibly creeps into the room, avoiding fleeing crowds if needed.

He will cast glitterdust on the many-imaged woman. DC18 vs blind. If she is already blind, switch to devil.

The Bralani flies to attack the closest devil.

Back to the depths of the netherworld, fiend!

+1 scimitar, good, bless, haste, con: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 22 for dmg: 1d6 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 3 = 12 +2 from flank with guards?

Uh oh, immediate action retcon time!

Matrialda prevents Karina from taking flight with her quick thinking counterspell. Instead, Karina runs and leaps down into the crowd below.

Wembly dusts the Deckland woman (and a few unlucky passersby) and she stumbles forward blinded. His bralani friend tries to aid the Lion Blades with their devil but can't quite connect. Cassandra can't quite solidify the blindness. Even Evermore's missiles fizzle as they arc toward their target. Matrialda finishes her scolding by stripping all the blinded images from the blinded woman.

Aided by their flying azata, the Lion Blades succeed in taking down the pesky devil in the doorway. They cheer as one and begin to enter the pitched battle inside.

Karina Acrobatics to land safely: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Mivvy grits her teeth in a fierce grin and her blade flashes toward the devil.

Mivvy has bless weapon and this is an evil creature so her crits automatically confirm.

extra damage: 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

extra damage: 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

If the devil is still standing and attacks, she will parry and riposte.

@Mivvy It was probably too subtle to notice (my fault) but the devil is 10 feet off the ground.

In that case, Mivvy would have activated her blue scarf (swift action) swordmaster's flair to grant herself an extra 5ft of reach for one minute. She keeps in wrapped around her hand and wrist whenever she is working.

In that case...

Mivvy stretches out unnaturally and plugs the devil full of holes. It falls gracelessly into the crowd below, trampled further as they scramble to leave.

Fly for last round: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24

With both devils dead, there's nothing left for it but the mortal responsible for bringing them.

Kahwen angles slightly down, flapping his wings rapidly and sloping down to gain more momentum. He swipes at the woman as he gets near, slicing down with his long blade.

+1 keen elven curve blade plus charge, plus haste, plus bless: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 14 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 33

Slashing plus SA: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Lowering down to 5' as I move forward (which doesn't require a fly check, I believe.) She's bleeding 4 and -2 to hit and -4 to hit Kahwen the next turn.

Kahwen dives down and slashes through the hapless villain. She recoils admirably from the force of the blow then returns the favor with a shocking flurry of her own. Her eyes focus once again and she prepares for another round with her foe.

purple rapier vs Kahwen touch delivering shocking grasp: 1d20 + 9 - 4 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 9 - 4 + 3 = 251d6 + 4 + 5d6 ⇒ (1) + 4 + (3, 2, 2, 3, 5) = 201d100 ⇒ 61

Bleh!

Wembly sees the woman as the only remaining threat.

Well, that does not seem very nice. Seeing that you started all this mess in the first place!

He casts grease on her rapier (DC18 or drop)

Your family is a blight and we will strike you down.

Mivvy pushes through the crowd with the help of magical speed and gets behind the woman.
Mivvy has reach so she is flanking with Kahwen.

Kahwen squawks then squawks again as Karina gives as good as she gets.

He sees Mivvy move into place and gives her a faint nod. It's always good to work with professionals and he's in no position to move around too much.

He flaps his wings to keep himself in position (autosuccess on the hover check) and swings rapidly and repeatedly with his sword.

The azata rushes to aid but Karina is ready for the assault.

"I will kill you all, but especially you Cassandra! You were one of the wretches responsible for my sister’s death!"

Losing the grip on her now greasy rapier, it falls to the ground, kicked further by a panicking noble across the polished marble.

Cassandra blasts her with one of her twin fire rays but Evermore's missiles explode harmlessly against her protective shield. Mivvy moves in to provide the flank and the weakened but still vital Kahwen is able to lower to her level and deliver the fatal blow.

As the conspiratorial Deckland woman falls to the Pathfinders, there are muted cheers in the chamber. Hundreds still need to be ushered to safety and the Lion Blades take the lead. As you gather around Kahwen to attend to his grievous wound, a battered and bruised Lady Gloriana Morilla approaches, her face lacking any of the confidence you have seen in her before.

"Thank the gods you arrived in time, this would have been a complete massacre." Out of breath and shaken to almost delirium, she continues. "What has become of my country? Without a hint of anger, Grand Prince Stavian ruthlessly executed Kalbio of Breezy Creek - the poor man, the man he was here to honor as an example of Taldan simplicity - then just casually ordered all of our deaths."

She continues to shake her head in disbelief.

"The Ulfen Guard stood with him, and many other soldiers remained loyal throughout his betrayal. I just don't know who I can trust anymore."

Regaining a measure of her considerable dignity, she straightens up.

"Just before you arrived, a Lion Blade agent within the crowd managed to leap atop the presentation platform shortly after Kalbio’s death and stabbed the Grand Prince through the heart. Instant magic tore him away from here, but it was clear - the wound was fatal. Which means succession is in play, and I believe Taldor’s best future lies in the hands of Princess Eutropia. However, prior to the ceremony, Stavian strangely declared High Strategos Maxillar Pythareus as his heir apparent. Perhaps he divined his own fate?"

She looks to you for any confirmation.

"No matter. Civil war is now imminent for my country, and I intend to do everything I can to contain such a potentially catastrophic conflict."

As the desperate crowd thins within the chamber proper, the sounds of battle and panic continue to echo in the halls surrounding you.

"You must recover quickly - then help the Lion Blades secure this building and put down the sporadic fighting that’s spilled out before it reaches the streets. The heart of Taldor must be secure before the nation can rise again."

A senatorial staff member races up to Gloriana and whispers into her ear. The Lady's face tightens and she turns to you. "I've just been told that Stavian’s closest conspiratorial confidante, Earl Calhadion Vernisant, is the noble keeping the Stavian loyalists together within this building. For this crisis to pass, you must neutralize the earl."

She nods grimly.

You've had three rounds to heal and buff further as she talked. Let me know what else you wish to do.
