GM Tyranius (PF2) Blood of the Beautiful (Inactive)

Game Master Tyranius

Grimmylow heads to the tree trunk to follow the group up.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

But he can't quite make it on his first try.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

But having practiced once, his second try is much better.

"Watch out, Faithful! There's a pit right there!" he warns the group aiming his scimitar at the pile of leaves roughly ahead of Khagra.

Actions- 1. Failed Stride 2. Stride 3. Point out.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Marcius tries to balance himself to move.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Again

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

And again.

"FLÛTE! Sir Dinardin, i wish to cast a spell on your halberd. I wanted to do it after moving but this is too difficult for me."

@Grimmylow- Your first acrobatics check passed as the DC was 12, so you still have 1 action left.

Khagra stomps across the log with ease, showing everyone around how much he owned that log. Grimmylow wobbles a considerable amount more as the goblin nearly falls off, due to pointing out one of the sunken areas in the earth. Marked the one you pointed out to everyone as orange.

Marcius slips and slides across the log, scraping his shins, elbows and chin as falls into the leaves below.

Znobe makes it to the top as he scans a small area for movement. While he doesn't spot anything living he does notice the carcass of a deer lying in the trees.

Why you called Chucabra when you just suck
I warn you now goblin blood tastes of Yuck!

perfomance goblin song: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

probably academic as it needs to be within 30 feet and understand common to be affected red circle Burney is origin point

acrobatics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

He ascends the log keeping his balance and draws his sling

"There's one over there, too!" Grimmylow points out.

I marked the other one I pointed out in orange, too.

GM, what are the chances that Dinardin could use a rope and grappling hook to make this an Athletics check?

@Dinardin- You can certainly try to secure a grappling hook, but you can already use an athletics check. Crossing the tree trunk requires a successful DC 12 Acrobatics check to Balance. Alternatively, you can attempt to scale the nearby walls with a successful DC 15 Athletics check to Climb.

Oh, I missed that. Thanks!

Dinardin seizes small bushes and handfuls of projecting stone and hauls himself laboriously up the slope.

Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Grimmylow points out another depression while Burny tries to convince the Chupacabra that it doesn't taste good at all. Burny and Dindarin make it up the log with ease.

The chupacabra rushes from the wooded patch to the north as it leaps out and pounces onto Znobe.

Bite vs Znobe AC 18: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

Znobe screams but was already on edge as he falls back, just out of reach of the slavering beast.

He continues to try to put off the Chupacabra with his song
performance: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Before covering the area with burning hands spell

burning hands damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10
basic reflex save dc 16

i haven't seen the token of Dinardin move so..
Marcius casts magic weapon on Dinardin.

"I wish i could do more help you but.."

And something inside Marcius' backpack move.

and hex Dinardin with stoke the heart. +2 status to damage roll.

Hein?

"You have done mightily! My thanks, sir."

Dinardin moves up to the attack, holding his halberd momentarily aloft. "Inheritor! See my obedience to your commandments!"

1. Weapon Surge
2. Stride
3. Strike

Halberd (w/ Weapon Surge, magic weapon and hex v. Chupacabra: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 + 1 = 283d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4, 10) + 4 + 2 = 21

Note: The Weapon Surge is a status bonus to hit, while magic weapon is an item bonus to hit. The hex is a status bonus to damage. Also, Weapon Surge specifically stacks with magic weapon.

Also, halberd is a reach weapon.

"What Brother Burny said!" Grimmylow declares before laying down his own swath of fire from his hands.

Burning Hands: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6
Basic Reflex DC16 save.

Actions: 1-Stride, 2&3-Burning Hands

Znobe retreats back away from the beast and fires a couple of arrows at his prey, they attack left him unsteady of his feet and both arrows miss the mark.

DC 16 Reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

Grimmylow sends flames shooting forth into the brush as the Chupacabra appears. The beast leaps above the fire as it ignites the bushes and misses the chupacabra completely.

Marcius magically enhances Dinardin's weapons as Burney also tries to catch the creature in a wave of flames.

DC 16 Reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

The Chupacabra is far more agile than the goblins could have ever expected. Dinardin's halberd slashes across it's side, exposing several ribs causing it to turn and hiss at him. Both of Znobe's arrows stick into the tree trunk nearby as they miss their intended target.

Round 2
-------------------------------------------
Chupacabra (-21)

Grimmylow
Marcius
Khagra (3 Temp HP)

Khagra circles around as best he can before stabbing the beast twice.

stabbing: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
piercing + fire damage: 1d6 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 4 = 13

more stabbing: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (9) + 7 - 5 = 11
piercing + fire damage: 1d6 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 4 = 11

Khagra lives up to his name as he skewers numerous leaves off of the forest floor with his trident.

Jaws vs Khagra AC 17: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
Damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

◆ Strike
◆ Grab
◆ Chupar

With the orc nearby the Chupacabra grabs ahold of Khagra. Twisting around the orc the chupacabra sinks its teeth into his necka nd quickly begins draining the blood from him. Drained 1 and Chupacabra is now quickened. It seems invigorated as the fresh blood drips from its chin.

Round 3
-------------------------------------------
Chupacabra (-21; Quickened)
-------------------------------------------
Grimmylow
Marcius
Khagra (11/23; Drained 1; Grabbed)
Burney
Dinardin
Znobe

Znobe steadies himself sending two arrows at the creature, hpoing to injure it and slow it down. The first he aims at the creatures heart, where it strikes causing the creature to start to breath deeply. The second arrow scrapes past the Chupacabra, Znobe looks closely spying if the arrow hit.

He then calls out to Bere to come and help. Znobe hears a lot of scrabbling as he hears the bear attempt to climb the crumbling walls. The scrabbling sound continues until Bere makes his way to the top of the wall.

1 - action Strike with hunters precision longbow 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 damage 1d8 ⇒ 2 + precision if a hit 1d8 ⇒ 5 Crit so damage x2 + deadly 1d10 ⇒ 9 if I do it right, 23HPs damage

1 - action command animal

Bere Bear Climb 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Bere Bear Climb 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Hopefully Dinardin's blessing will save him from 3 more points of damage as well.

Khargra grunts as the annoying critter sucks on his precious life force.

Khagra circles around to a flank.

stabbing vs FF: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
piercing + fire: 1d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 4 = 15

Before baking off a bit to tend to his wounds.

"Don't worry, Khargra! Sarenrae's light will heal your wounds!" Grimmylow declares, brandishing his holy symbol toward the orc. A lance of white, holy energy crosses between them.

Healing: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Then, he turns that holy symbol toward the chupacabra, requesting Sarenrae's protection.

Actions: 1&2 - Cast Heal, 3 - Cast Shield

You obviously need more of Sarenraes fire

burning hands reflex dc 16: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10

sling shot: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
sling damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

acrobatic: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Marcius is finally able to balance and move. He says a word of encouragement to Dinardin. GUIDANCE to Dinardin

"Your fervor to protect others makes you a worthy follower of iomedae."

Something inside his backpack moves like it to get out and Marcius tries very hard to not just drop his backpack and run. substain spell.

GM - My fault for not mentioning it, but Dinardin's entire build is centered around his reaction (Retributive Strike). It's why he carries a reach weapon. Can I please take my reaction when the chupacabra attacks Khagra?

Then Dinardin moves up and attacks twice.

1. Step.
2. Strike.
3. Strike.

Halberd v. Chupacabra, w/ magic weapon: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 1 = 262d10 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 = 11
Halberd v. Chupacabra, w/ magic weapon: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 1 = 102d10 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 = 8

And from here on out, Dinardin will take a Retributive Strike anytime he is eligible.

@Dinardin- Let me know if you want to use your Retributive Strike for that attack against Khagra and go ahead and roll your Retributive Strike roll.

@Khagra- You were grabbed so are immobilized. Shifted you back so you still have 1 action

Grimmylow quickly heals Khagra's injury once the Chupacabra unsinks it's fanged maw from the orc's neck. No longer drained as well. Khagra stabs down into the beasts ribcage. His trident's prones going deep in between the ribs.

Burney Burning hands DC 16 Reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

Burney tries a few more flames but he watches as the Chupacabra begins to swing Khagra towards the fire to protect itself and quickly aims the jet of fire into the air.

Znobe has a clean shot and sinks an arrow into the Chupacabra's chest where it likely glanced the heart. It staggers a moment but barely maintains enough strength to stay standing. The second arrow misses.

Making it up the small ramp Marcius continues to guide Dinardin's hand and hopefully into the killing blow.

I did. I just put it in the spoiler in case you didn't want to allow it. It's all there.

Ah thanks, we cross posted each other it appears.

While Dinardin's strike saves Khagra from a small portion of the attack. his followup has the halberd severe the creatures head from its body as it goes in for another meal.

The Chupacabra's body slips to the ground freeing Khagra at last.

Returning to Farmer Wilhuff with news of your victory he is deeply grateful for your work and provides your with the promised gold reward from the bounty posting. "I have more good news. While you were away I found one of the Alpaca's to be pregnant, with Majesty being the father. Would any of you be willing to let me name the soon to be born alpaca after you?"

That is the end of the bounty. I will work on finishing chronicles here today and have them out to you this evening. Hope you all enjoyed the game. Please feel free to continue roleplaying if you wish to as I do wish to hear who the Alpaca is named after.

Dinardin turns and looks at Grimmylow. Who else could you possibly name it after?

Thanks, Tyranius!

Also Dinardin forgot about the +2 status. (Why this is happenning all the time when i am buffing? Is there a way to make players remember the buff?)

As the chupacabra fall, the thing get out of Marcius' backpack. It is the doll! It as animated by herself!

Rapidly, Marcius pushes back the doll into the backpack asking her to not move. Surprisingly, she listens.

I will need look after this later when i am all alone.

Marcius is open that the newborn has his name. Also wow! It was an elite level 3 creature and it falls down just like this.

"Dinardin did most of the work, you should name it after him. No, wait! You should name it Sarenrae's Blessing! Then, you will have Sarenrae's blessing with you for...how long do alpaca's live?"

The goblin actually bounces with excitement at the brilliance of the plan.

Znobe nods to Farmer Wilhuff "This keeps it all in balance, your herd is safe and growing. All is good." he laughs when he hears Grimmylow's logic, before providing a name. He claps the goblin on the back, "Why not, let the gods watch over the flock."

Also Dinardin forgot about the +2 status. (Why this is happenning all the time when i am buffing? Is there a way to make players remember the buff?)

I didn't forget, but you didn't say how long the duration was. I thought a hex only affected "the next Strike". So what I suggest any time you provide a buff you provide a link to how it works and put the name in "bigger" text to remind people. Like this:

Dinardin has MAGIC WEAPON, providing +1 item bonus to attack rolls and increasing the number of weapon damage dice to two.

Anyway, thanks! It was a great set of buffs!

Yea you guys took care of a very nasty fight. Well done! Elite its AC is 22 which is pretty high for level 1's, as well as 60 HP.

Good idea! Writting it in big letter with a link! Hex are spell that need to be substain each round by the caster until one minute goes.

Also, i am reading back my commentary and i was kinda rude to Dinardin.. I could have written "i didn't see x buff" or something like that.

I just want to say also that before this post, i was on another game where i needed to remind the gm about particuliar buff every time.So after seeing a similar event, I had realised the error was on my side and i was asking for help..

I am still responsable for what i have written. So, sorry.

Again thanks.

When I see common long buffs I also try to put them in the tracker as well. Something like, but it can get a bit crazy with the 1 round buffs:

Active Buff Reminder.
Inspire Courage

Thanks for running, it was great fun and quite scary, even if it didn't last long. The threat was there, drain, missing on a roll of 21 and knowing it had plenty of health (cos they all do) ....

And thanks for a fun little party... hope to play with you all again.

Yeah, man. It was a good group.

Marcius, I've been right where you were. Getting players to remember your buffs is hard enough in a face to face game. When I went to GenCon last time, I wrote the buffs on neon pink stickies and slapped it onto their character sheets! But in an online game it can be tricky.
