#10-21: Slaver's End - GM Nowruz (Inactive)

Game Master noral

"Guard dogs indeed!" in a whisper.

I believe the two are dead, one killed by the horse and the other stabbed by Walla. No more enemies here.

Orst perceives to see if he can hear anything coming or see anything usual in the remove. perception: 1d20 ⇒ 2

If nothing strange he will move into the next room after Ryker. Hopefully the door is open or Orst must stop on the square where the shadow mastiff was.

At the end of round 2 the following happens as you did not discover the trap on the floor:

Suddenly, you all feel the floor become weaker and stone is transformed to mud!!

Robun, Frost and Walla sinks until hip- or chest-deep into the mud!

A moment later you see sparkles all around you as the mud transformed back to stone!

Walla realizes what is happening and can jump into the air with such force that she lands on the now transformed rocky mud!

Robun and Frost are now stuck in the rocky floor.

Spell effect (transmute stone to mud followed immediately by persistent transmute mud to stone, DC 20 Reflex to avoid; multiple targets [all targets in the room]; affected creatures are entangled and anchored until they destroy the stone around them [hardness 8, 30 hp] or escape the stone [Strength or Escape Artist DC 20]).

We are still in rounds. Everyone please give me your full round action for round 3.

Robun looks around at the others, a look of sheer panic in his eyes. "Help...me!"

Strength check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

"What the ... I'm coming."

Orst will back and chip at the stone with his adamantine sword.

Chops at Frost's stone.
stone floor sword PA blow: 1d20 + 15 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 15 - 2 = 30
slashing adamantine: 1d10 + 5 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 4 + 2 = 14

"I will get you all out."

Walla moves over near Robun and starts poking at the stone with her rapier.

Attack floor: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27 Piercing Adamantine: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Frost fights against the stone, trying to struggle out.

Strength 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Ryker sneaks into the dining room, listening for anyone who may be roused by the dogs' noise.

[dice=Sneak]1d20+17
[dice=Perception (scent 30ft for coins)]1d20+11

"Shhh. There may be someone coming to investigate that racket"

B4. DINING ROOM

The age-worn, but still quite impressive, solid oak dining table occupying this room sets a tone of comfort for the whole dining area.

Well-made chairs stand haphazardly around the room and a mat of dog fur obscures the rug and stone floor. Nautical maps and charts lay on the table, daggers pinning the largest map open, unfurled across the tabletop.

Ryker immediately realizes that whoever lives here rarely uses this room for anything other than planning and meetings, and that they let the dogs sleep here.

Several large, flat pillows lie on the rug under the table, covered in dog fur.

There are no coins in here.

—-

Frost can easily brake free!!

Walla and Orst support Robun with their weapons but he’s still imprisoned in the floor.

—

Little fox and Ryker are up.

The fox uses Walla's shadow to hide from sight.
Is it possible to take 10, at this moment, with the lack of enemies around?

Stealth if not: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (2) + 22 = 24
The fox walks into the room, staying near the walls.

Ryker strides over to Robun. Seeing his allies have cut away most of the stone trapping the oracle, he aims his dagger to chip away the last pieces holding the man in place.

dagger damage: 1d4 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

"Finesse," he whispers with a smirk.

As Walla and Orst try to pull Robun up from the stone, hauling him up from beneath his arms, he sheepishly apologizes, "Oh, I am sorry about the smell, my friends! Thank you so much for your help, though. This is quite uncomfortable!"

Round 4 Str check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

With the help of Walla, Orst and Ryker your companion Robun can escape the escape stone prison and get out! Weather you are able to get Robun's smell out of your clothes is the other question. ;-)

Ryker and Fox see that the double doors to the south are being opened!

Initiative - Round 4

Fox
Walla

Robun
Ryker
Orst

BOLD can act!

Walla moves to the east of the double doors and readies to attack any hostiles that move through the doors.

If possible, fox will hide in plain sight, through aid of whatever shadow is cast nearby. If not, pressing and sticking to the wall.

Stealth: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (14) + 22 = 36

You can hide Fox, are you readying an action?

Without 5ft reach, hiding is my best approach.

Quick description of the room as Fox was able to look inside earlier during his scouting mission when it was still empty.

B2. LOUNGE

What was once a classy and comfortable lounge has been damaged by neglect, rowdy pirates, and lethal squabbles.

Half of the furniture in the room are mismatched sets or show signs of being crudely repaired after drunken duels. A messy deck of cards remains strewn across the round table.

Glass bottles litter every surface and lie scattered across the floor.

The pirates obviously have turned this opulent library and den into a gambling lounge.

Stains from countless drinking games or duels give this room a violent, drunken lived-in quality.

Post got eaten

Frost draws a wand and casts Bless on the party as she steps forward. She then drops the wand and grips her sword, ready for her foes.

MA - Draw, SA - Cast, 5' step

All - Bless, +1 Morale bonus on attack rolls

The door is opened by a burly human’s bruised and sunken knuckles that has a falchion swinging at their hip. An almost identical looking man is right behind him! They both look drunk!

”Ehhh ... what?! Who are you people?! Invaders! We have to kill them!“

Before they can react, Walla’s Rapier already pierces the man’s arm. He reacts immediately and tries to punch her to knock her out ... but hits the door.

unarmed strike: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 12 - 2 = 151d8 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 - 2 = 9 if hit knockout DC 15 Fortitude save Walla or knocked out in rounds: : 1d6 ⇒ 3

Do you parry, riposte Walla?

The other guys moves and draws his falchion but still tries to punch Frost ... but her armor protects her!

unarmed strike: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 12 - 2 = 211d8 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 - 2 = 11 if hit knockout DC 15 Fortitude save Walla or knocked out in rounds: : 1d6 ⇒ 3

*

You also see a man with a wand close to hand in the back. He starts casting and glitterdust is all around Robun, Ryker and Orst!

Concentration, drunk DC 12: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

DC 17 Will save or blinded. Each round at the end of their turn blinded creatures may attempt new saving throws to end the blindness effect.

*

The other person is a scandalous lady pirate who wields two pistols, commanding respect and fear from their peers.

She steps away, draws her pistol and shoots Frost into her shoulder!

pistol touch, 1 grit up close and deadly: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 11 - 2 = 191d8 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 4 + (2, 2) = 16

Fox
Walla

Buff: BLESS +1

BOLD can act!

Walla dodges the fist and stabs the man in the belly. Parry: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34 Reposte: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32 Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18 Damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 Crit damage if confirmed: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Add 6 damage if allowed precision damage. The precision damage is not double on a critical hit. If critical confirms she gains a panache

Walla then thrusts her rapier twice more at the brute.
Attack 1: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20 damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
attack 2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 Damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 crit damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Add 6 damage if allowed precision damage. The precision damage is not double on a critical hit. If critical confirms she gains a panache

Orst tries to close his eyes before the worst of the spell hits.
will save verses glitterdust: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
But he is unable.
He wipes his eyes with his cloak and blinks several times.
will save verses glitter: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
Finally he is able to get the worst of the stuff out.
"Spell casting bullies. I hope to show them the my new glittering sword."

Will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Robun moves to get a better view of the foes in the next room and returns the spell caster's attempt at blinding him and his friends with his own attempt to do the same. There is a brilliant flash in the room, leaving two of the foes blinking.

Cast Burst of Radiance (yellow circle marks the area of effect). Creatures in the area are blinded for 1d4 rounds, or dazzled for 1d4 rounds if they succeed at a Reflex save. Evil creatures in the area of the burst take 1d4 points of damage per caster level (max 5d4), whether they succeed at the Reflex save or not.

Rounds blinded/dazzled: 1d4 ⇒ 1
Damage to evil creatures: 5d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 2, 1) = 13

I'll wait to see if any are done for.

Frost gets attacking...

PA/Bless
Holy/Silver
Attack/sword 1d20 + 14 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 14 - 2 + 1 = 28
Damage 2d4 + 7 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 7 + 6 + (5, 4) = 30

Attack/sword 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 12
Damage 2d4 + 7 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 7 + 6 + (4, 5) = 28

I'm assuming they are actually 'evil', otherwise the 2d6 doesn't apply (Holy damage)

Walla can push the brute's punch aside and thrusts her weapon deep into the pirate's chest! She then uses her superior position to pierce his body again and again!!! Although the pirate is severely injured, he is still standing!

80 damage. Two crits!

Robun's spell is able to hurt the pirate and this is too much for him and he slumps to the ground!

The woman with the pistols is suddenly blinded!

reflex : 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 141d4 ⇒ 3

Frost hits the raging brawler with the first strike and is even able to slash across the pirate's chest with his second strike of his holy sword!

Fox

Buff: BLESS +1

BOLD can act!

Fox sneaks up to near the 2nd twin's legs, then bails out.
map won't properly open, so i don't exactly know which color twin is near me. If it is the one near me, fox moves 5ft west then towards the guy for spring attack.

Bite from stealth, (invisible?) Flank: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 14 + 2 + 2 = 38Dmg, SA: 1d3 + 10 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 10 + (2, 3) = 16

Crit?: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 14 + 2 + 2 = 27Extra gnaw: 1d3 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Ryker rubs his eyes, unwilling to get closer until he can see.

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Fox can rip a big piece of flesh out of the brute’s leg and he cries out in pain!!

Seeing his brother fall makes the pirate really angry!!

”You will pay for this!!!“

He attacks Frost with his falchion and cuts into her twice!

Primary +1 falchion, sickened: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 13 - 2 = 252d4 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 8 - 2 = 14

Iterative +1 falchion, sickened: 1d20 - 2 + 8 ⇒ (18) - 2 + 8 = 242d4 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 8 - 2 = 10
Crit?: 1d20 - 2 + 8 ⇒ (16) - 2 + 8 = 222d4 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 8 - 2 = 10

*

The swaggering shot can’t see and takes something out of her pocket and drinks it!

“I’m blinded!?! What’s happening Brutus?!? Calvin?!“

*

You see the man with the wand start casting again and glitterdust is once again all around Robun, Ryker and Orst!

Concentration, drunk DC 12: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

DC 17 Will save or blinded. Each round at the end of their turn blinded creatures may attempt new saving throws to end the blindness effect.

"A sensible man would call for parley, see if we were inclined to mercy, and perhaps save your fallen brother"

Frost touches her wound and smiles at the Pirate.

Lay Hands 4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 3, 6) = 18

She then delivers retribution.

PA/Bless
Holy/Silver
Attack/sword 1d20 + 14 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 14 - 2 + 1 = 26
Damage 2d4 + 7 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) + 7 + 6 + (6, 6) = 30

Without bothering to check on the fallen mans condition, she strides towards the gunslinger. "How about you? Care to make some good decisions?"

***

Ragnar the Mighty looks like a very angry horse as it wanders back in and bears down on the 'wizard'.

Both twins are in an angled position, but by above i take it orange is still standing.

Fox tries darting 5ft west, then turn for another spring attack at orange.
Acro vs aoo for 5ft west: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17 AC vs aoo from moving is 29.

Bite: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16 Gnaw: 1d3 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

If orange was down instead, spring attack is directed at the woman, at which attack bonus is +2 for underfoot assault, with 2d6 SA from underfoot assault/her being blinded.

The pirate twins are both bleeding out on the ground!

You can choose the woman as a target. Roll your damage. :-)

Above dmg +SA: 13 + 2d6 ⇒ 13 + (1, 4) = 18

Orst again tries to resist the glittery blast.
will save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

But again is blinded and using his waterskin attempts to wash away and blink away the irritant.
will save at turn end: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
I can't remember if it a full round action to clear glitterdust or not. If orst can move and still clear it he will move 10 feet along the wall to attempt to spread out.

Clearing glitterdust is not an action at all. You just save again at the end of your round to end the blindness. You can still move or cast etc as long as you don’t need to see anything. Moving faster than half speed requires acrobatics checks.

Orst will double move then at half speed.
"Got to get out of that mage's line of sight."

Walla strides into the room and stabs at the blinded pirate.

Rapier: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33 Confirm crit: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24 Damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 Add 6 if allowed precision damage

Walla strides into the room and stabs at the blinded pirate.

Crit Damage Walla incl. precision: 15 + 6 + 1d6 + 9 ⇒ 15 + 6 + (6) + 9 = 36

After Little Fox's bite into the woman's abdomen, her guts are visible!

Walla then pierces the female pistolero's throat with her Rapier. Her unconscious form gurgles blood and drops on the table and hits the chair on the way down.

Robun and Ryker are up!

"How about you wizard?" Frost calls across as she watches the life drain from the pistolero "Surely you are the brains and have the sense to save your own skin"

Will vs glitter: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

This time around, the caster’s spell catches Robun off guard, and he tries desperately to blink away the blinding dust as he stumbles along the wall until he finds some cover behind the stairs.

Will vs glitter: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Ryker avoids the glitter dust this time and moves in to threaten the spell caster with his menacing dagger.

"I ... I ... " the caster says but he does not stops to trying casting!

concentration DC 12 drunk: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
concentration DC 19 casting defensively: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Ryker standing in front of him is too much and he looses the spell!

Robum hurries around the end of the stairs now that he can see again and casts a spell to keep one of the pirates alive. "In case we want to interrogate them, you know?" he adds in an aside to Orst and Fox.

Move then cast Stabilize on Orange

The fox, encouraged by the pathfinders' cornering of the man, darts past legs in attempt to yank the wand away from the man with its teeth.

Not improved disarm: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

The man has no weapon and the wand is now in Little Fox's mouth!

Walla saunters over and points the tip of her sword at the final pirate. "Yield!" Demoralize: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Orst will move sheepishly into the room. "Looks like this went well."
Orst will start helping by separating the weapons from the former owners starting with the pistol wielder.

Orst removes the pistol from the females hand by picking it up.

"That looks like it can do some damage. Let's just confiscate it."

The caster looks intimidated but he does definitely not give up yet!

Man has:
Utter confidence in winning. [?]
A secret weapon. [X]
Clearly a death wish [V]

”If you don’t surrender, you’re gonna bleed all over that nice rug” Ryker intones.

atk: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 13 + 1 + 4 = 27
dmg: 1d4 + 8 + 4d8 ⇒ (2) + 8 + (4, 7, 2, 2) = 25

dmg: 1d4 + 8 + 4d8 ⇒ (3) + 8 + (5, 8, 3, 3) = 30

debilitating strike to lower his AC

Seeing how that looks, I think Ryker may have destroyed them at this stage LOL

After Ryker’s two strikes the man is punctured in his heart and neck and sinks to the ground ... his blood is pooling.

Silence again.
