PFS2: Breaking the Storm by GM Redeux (Inactive)

Game Master redeux

intimidate-Demoralize vs pink: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32

Astrid cheers as she watches the troll fall. She gives the troll before her an evil grin.

"You would do well to flee before I feed you to our goblin over there."

She points towards her companions and bites at the air.

I'm posting from my phone so links are awkward but Astrid has intimidating glare.

"Good job everyone. Hurry now! We need to stop the tunneller."

Bastard Sword vs pink: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25
damage-slashing: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (6, 1) + 7 = 14

acrobatics-tumble through pink: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Astrid lashes out at the troll with her sword then tries to slip past it. Unfortunately she misjudges the gap between the cavern wall and the troll and is repulsed.

Zac Blue Dolok Tree: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21 cold dmg: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 4, 3) = 12
Zac's Blue Dolok Tree roots spray a concentrated blast of water that hits the fallen giant! ->Dying 2. The creature's fate is sealed as the acid continues to break apart the yellow cavern troll clearing it from map now since lava -> dying 3 -> persist acid -> dying 4

Q Blue Dolok Tree: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29 cold dmg: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 6, 2) = 17
Quinoline's acid flask misses the pink giant but some of the acid weakens the creature's defenses Miss, 4 splash. Quinoline's tree then shoots water at the last remaining giant in sight. Hit, 17 damage

Astrid's stare down with the Giant doesn't make it run away, though it does seem to be frightened nonetheless. Astrid's bastard sword slices across the creatures chest and then she attempts to move through the giant but the rocky cavern troll proves to be a formidable wall. Hit for 14, then fail to tumble through. Astrid's tree then heals Greezgux: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (5, 7) + 16 = 28 to full

Red, out of sight of everyone, presumably continues digging which only Ro can confirm. The party can, however, feel the walls in the cavern begin to shake.

Notes:

“Now to take you down darling - Ro, don’t get too close now - cavalry is coming doncha know!”

Jakoby fires off three fast arrows (Hunted Shot, Strike) against her frightened pink prey, then Strides (30 speed) West towards the rock bridge. Ro, meanwhile, flies to just within the large digging trolls reach, one “step” from engaging it directly, and waits for backup...

Jakoby Hunted Strike: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (6, 6) + 4 = 16 x2 =32 + deadly: 1d10 ⇒ 4 = 36
Jakoby Hunted Strike: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (5, 2) + 4 = 11
Jakoby Strike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 6) + 4 = 11

Jakoby shoots two shots, the first pinning the creature to the cavern wall, and the second brining it within an inch of life. She then looses a third arrow that splits the Cavern Troll in half! Crit for 36, Hit for 11, then hit for 11 -> Dying 1 (its regen is deactivated but the following round it would start to regen again unless something changes)

@Greezgux

Greezgux pulls out a small elixir from his pack and quickly drinks the contents. The muscles in his legs bulge out slightly and he does what goblins do best. He leaps into the fire. "Here goes!" He aims for a spot right near the edge so he can grab ahold of it as he dunks into the lava pool on the other side.

Athletics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

ow! ow! Oh! OW!!!!!!" He begins to scream in pain as he wasn't expecting this much.

◆ Interact to grab Elixir of Greater Leaping
◆ Drink Elixir
◆ Long Jump

Greezgux's tree heals astrid: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (3, 5) + 16 = 24

lava splashes against the fallen cavern troll and the giant doesn't appear to be regenerating itself at the moment.

Notes:

Quinoline throws an acid flask at Pink to finisb it off.

Acid: 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 17 - 2 = 16 vs ff
2 acid plus 4 splash plus 2d6 persistent

Iomedae dammit. Can't risk them getting back up.

Acid, MAP: 1d20 + 17 - 2 - 5 ⇒ (7) + 17 - 2 - 5 = 17

Quin draws a greater leaper's elixir.

Doublemove and shoot at pink for good measure hit: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21
dmg: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 = 12

"Quickly now! Only one remains!"

Astrid dashes around the corner and lashes out at the burrowing troll.

will save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
sudden charge-bastard sword: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20

strike-bastard sword: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
damage-slashing: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (2, 6) + 7 = 15

Quinoline's first bomb is a complete dud and fizzles without excitement. Her second Bomb weakens the fallen cavern giant's defenses and Zac moves in to finish the creature! Pink is gone!

Astrid approaches the Red Giant attempts to attack but is deterred by some sort of protective energy surrounding the creature. Failed Will save - first attack is lost and Astrid is unable to attack again this turn

@Astrid, one (non-attack) action left

Unable to attack, Astrid curses and sheathes her sword.

Astrid's tree heals Jakoby: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (5, 6) + 16 = 27 to full. Astrid also feels intense, whirling winds surrounding the creature

The Red giant completely ignores Astrid; she casts another spell Provokes - another will save/AoO if Astrid wishes, then she continues to tunnel through the rock. Cavern walls continue to shake and small rubble falls from the ceiling.

Violet Dolok (A): -5,
Red Digging Giant: If you attack Red, make a will save (DC 26). On failure = Unable to attack again this round.

Notes:

Zac tripple moves, going across the rocks. acrobatics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29 if needed. Including diagonals as 1.5 each, I in a sense moved across 8 squares of lava, or been next to 8 squares worth, while not really being in lava. 8d6? Not adjusting my HP until confirmed how much you want me to roll.
lava dmg: 8d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 1, 1, 6, 3, 6, 2) = 29

Fire Damage: 8d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 3, 2, 6, 2, 2, 2) = 25 20 damage after the ring resistance.

Greezgux screams as he pulls himself up onto the ledge of land on the opposing side, He pants as kicks some of the lava from is legs as he stumbles along the ledge. His skin runs off of his body, exposing muscle in several places as other bubble and pop from the heat.

◆ Pull self up on Ledge
◆ Stand up
◆ Stride

Jakoby hustles across the lava bridge (Stride at 30-speed x2) and whistles to Ro with a high pitch (Command to Flyby Attack), signaling a lethal maneuver.

Captain and the “cavalry” at his side, he flies low and claws at the troll’s eyes, then backs away to his original position, leaving open space for his ulfen allies Astrid and Zac to force the creature into melee.

Ro Will: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32
Ro Jaw: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 352d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 2) + 6 = 13

”You might want to get that leg looked at” to Greezgux, matter-of-factly.

will save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Astrid shakes with effort as she tries to overcome the troll's sorcery to no avail.

No AoO

Astrid moves up to the troll and angrily shouts, "Don't ignore me!"

will save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Annoyed at her inability to attack the troll Astrid pulls out an elixir.

stride, failed attack, interact

Quinoline drinks an elixir [A] and clicks her heels together [free]. She launches across the lava [A] and runs into the cavern [A].

She should only take 1d6 fire.

Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 2 minus 5 resistance

@Zac, just 1d6=6 dmg for crossing the lava on the stones
@Ro - flyby attack is for a talon strike (not jaws), so 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 6 = 12

The group collectively hustles towards the newly dug passage. Greezgux's tree Heals Greezgux: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (3, 7) + 16 = 26. Astrid's tree then Heals itself: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (6, 4) + 16 = 26 to full.

Ro moves up to the digging troll and feels the intense winds almost push him aside! He is able to successfully scratch the giant with his talons and retreat back to his prior location Hit for 12. Lava splashes up against the creature but she seems unfazed as her rocky body patches itself up where Ro cut her. The creature doesn't seem to respond to Astrid's words at all, and instead mutters a few words to form another protective barrier around it (verbal only) and continues to burrow through stone. Provokes - can make another will save/AoO. More rubble falls from the ceiling and the passage appears to be more unstable with each stroke through the stone.

Sappers! Round 7 : BOLD can act

Violet Dolok (A):
Red Digging Giant: If you attack Red, make a will save (DC 26). On failure = Unable to attack again this turn.

Notes:

Finally, we can catch up to that thing, before it digs a tunnel to who knows where and causes a cave it, or a trigger a supervolcanoe.
Zac single moves forwards and fires at it twice
hit: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27 dmg: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 5) + 4 = 14
hit: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 dmg: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 3) + 4 = 12
And the will save, otherwise I can't have made those attack
will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
Oh, well, Zac can't/doesn't wish to do anything else, so he stands there.

will save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

Astrid grins and smashes the troll with her shield.

shield boss: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22
damage bludgeoning: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 6 = 10

Astrid finds a weak point in the protective barrier, and although she fails to hit the troll, she manages to disrupt the magic!

Sanctuary ends - No more will saves!

Greezgux stumbles through the cavern as the trees heal his legs. With new skin he moves faster and faster as he shields himself from further harm.

◆◆ Stride
◆ Shield Spell

Jakoby races the remaining way to get the beast in her sight (Stride x2), just in front of Greezgux with a clear shot.

She commands Ro - currently occupying the space she is striding to - to repeat their practiced maneuver (Flyby Attack), with him ending his flight 10 feet west of his starting position, leaving room for the large goblin and friends to close in completely.

Ro jaw: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 222d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 3) + 6 = 14

”Don’t much like the sound of that Lieutenant Freelan!”

She draws a bead and breathes in a deep breath, fingers reaching gingerly into her half-full quiver...

Astrid downs her lesser elixir of life and points at the troll.

lesser elixir of life: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 6, 6) + 6 = 23

"I told you not to ignore me!"

She barrels into the troll, grabbing at its legs it an attempt to knock it to the ground.

athletics-trip: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

Interact, stride, trip

"I told you not to ignore me!"

She barrels into the troll, grabbing at its legs it an attempt to knock it to the ground.

Crit trip

Astrid's theme

Quinoline moves up.

"You heard her," she explains. "She is not to be trifled with."

She pulls out her last acid flask and launches it.

Acid: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35 vs ff
2 acid plus 4 splash plus 2d6+4 persustent

She'll rhrow out a lightning for the heck of it.

Lughtning MAP: 1d20 + 17 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 17 - 5 = 29
Electricity: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7 plus 4 splasg plus ff

Ro moves in for another flyby attack but this time his talon's aren't able to connect with the creature Miss!

As Astrid moves, the Giant takes a bite out of her arm in retaliation. It seems Astrid has gotten her attention after disrupting her magical protection! (30 to) hit Astrid for 12 Piercing. Astrid then trips the creature who was too distracted with her own revenge. The Giant crashes to the ground trip dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Quinoline's bomb acid bomb hits the Giant in the face, with acid splattering all across her body. Crit! 8 acid + 4d6 persist. Quinoline's second bomb also hits the giant and seems loosen up the the rocks forming her body more than expected! Hit, 21 dmg (weakness).

The creature stands back up Provokes AoO, and then claps her hands making a loud, booming sound. She begins channeling energy from the perpetual storm above her and sends a bolt of lightning down her tunnel. Astrid, Ro, Jakoby, and Greezgux - basic reflex save

She then shouts in a language none of you speak, but the tone seems angry and is conveys through a series of bark-like sounds. The acid continues to stick to her body and break apart pieces of her rocky body. 7 persist acid, did not recover

In the next round Jakboy attempts to study the creature and believes she is a Troll Queen who can (as a reaction) shake off acid/fire effects and then unleash a primordial roar that is frightening to everyone in the surrounding area

I've removed the trees from the init but they will still act after the owner's turn if they have anything to do

Sappers! Round 8 : BOLD can act
Jakoby: DC 26 basic reflex save or take 45 electricity dmg

Round 9

Red Digging Giant: -41, regen deactivated, 4d6 persist acid

Notes:

Shifting strategy, Jakoby commands Ro to claw at the creature’s eyes while she harries its with arrows (Command to Fly / Support), signaling the transition with two short and one long whistle!

”Do you have fear innoculum in that pouch of your’s Quin? Keep that sticky up, but these troll queens are known to be shriekers!”

Once Ro gets into positition flying west of Astrid and vertically above Troll Queen (Fly: NW, W, W+5up, W+5up = 5+5+15+10 = 35/60 total movement through difficult air), His master takes aim (Hunt Prey) and fires (Hunted Shot).

Longbow w Volley vs Tripped: 1d20 + 17 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 17 - 2 = 342d8 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3) + 4 = 9

Support is Dazzle while Bleeding (2d4)

Giant should be flat-footed until my turn from the lightning bomb unless something weird happened.

Quinoline will throw a lightning bomb.

Moderate Bottled Lightning: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25
Electricity: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8 plus 4 splash plus flat-footed

She will then Quick Alchemy a sticky perpetual bomb and throw it.

Severely burned Greezgux licks his wounds to try and soothe them.

Astrid glares at the troll and slowly draws her thumb across her throat.

Quick Draw provokes AoO

@Quinoline - Yup forgot to put FF in my tracker, thanks!

As Ro flies by the Troll Queen, she bites down on one of his wings! AoO - hit for 22. Jakoby shoots two arrows at the Giant but a the violent gusts of wind from the perpetual storm surrounding the creature knock the arrow subtly out of the way to prevent it from landing a deadly blow. Hit, but not crit vs FF for 9. Ro tries to pick the creature's rocky eyes, though they don't seem to bleed at all... Ro appears to have no effect, and the creature is not bleeding/dazzled.

Both of Quinoline's bottled lightnings miss their mark, but electricity zaps the creature who appears to be unprepared for any electricity 2x miss but 14+14 dmg from splash

All three of Zac's arrows miss their mark. The second looks like it would hit but gets gusted by wind at the last moment. 3x miss

Astrid stares down the Troll Queen who almost seems unbothered completely, but Astrid's intimidating glare seems to leave the Queen unsettled. (barely) success - frightened 1. Astrid then slices through one of the creature's shoulders to further menace the Troll. Crit! for 36 and FF She looks noticeably weakened as she's lost a signficant amounts of her rocky body without a chance to regenerate. She's "bloodied" (despite no blood)

The creature retaliates by extending a finger and firing a beam of negative energy that blasts in a line down the chamber. Astrid, Zac, and Quinoline can feel the life force want to leave their bodies...Provokes--- and then Astrid, Zac, Quinoline - non basic Will save (DC 25). The Troll Queen then turns around and begins barreling through the stone as fast as she can. Her recklessness and continued digging once again causes more dust and stone to fall from the ceiling. Acid continues to seep into cracks of her face causing signficant damage and further engraining itself into the Troll's rocky body. 18 persist acid dmg, and did not recover.

”Greezgux, can you Break the Storm?”

Jakoby switches weapons here and prepares to make a final stand!

◆) Interact to Draw Katana (Two-handed)
◆) Stride forward 30 feet

”Back boy” Jakoby whistles a single note of retreat, and Ro flies back to within range of the Dolok tree (to +0 elevation).

”Clever girl thinks she can escape now?!”

Stride, double slice

Astrid slices another chunk of rocks off the Troll Queen's Body as the Giant casts her spell Hit for 13. Astrid/Quinoline manage to completely/mostly resist the negative energy, Zac struggles to resist and feels part of his life force drained from his body. Zac then takes aim at the rocky Troll Queen and launches an arrow that sheers off another slab of stone. A second arrow brings the creature within inches of its rocky life Crit for 35, hit for 9, then miss. Quinoline follows up with another effective bomb that splashes an electrical charge that makes the creature collapse with a thundering thud. Miss-> 14 splash -> Dying1. Astrid bashes the creature with her shield boss but didn't seem to do anything, but a heavy strike shattered the acid-infused rock miss by 1, then Crit -> Dying 3. Regardless of what Greezgux does in the upcoming moments, one thing is certain-- The Troll Queen is not long for this world. Greezgux you still have actions here if you wish to finish the troll yourself or let the acid run it's course.

Combat over! no one is in danger of dying so we can ignore any persist negative damage. -- This will pretty much conclude this scenario, though before I go on to the conclusion, going to give time for any RP.

Looking around the cavern you do see a sigil along the freshly-dug cavern wall. The symbol appears to be a huge mosaic depicting a conflagration, dark smoke of the fire rising to form storm clouds pierced by lightning. You'd recognize this as a religious symbol of Urxehl.

Greezgux moves up and let's his flatulence shrink his body down to normal size as he watches the troll dissolve. "Is that what you mean by Break the Storm?" He traces his fingers over the symbols. "Urxehl, we need to let Dolok know."

Astrid looks at Greezgux and grimaces. She waves a hand in front of her face. "Point that ass at the enemy, would you? Why did we waste vials of acid when we could have just used that noxious stench to dissolve the trolls?"

She carefully examines the sigil on the wall before cursing and spitting on the ground.

"That's Urxehl alright. I can't say I'm surprised though. I mean...we expected him to be involved, right?"

"Urxehl," Quinoline sighs. "What a jerk."

Quinoline gives Greezgux some crushed limestone suspended in an orangey liquid.

"This should help with that."

Quinoline doesn't smell anything - years of alchemy has left her with a pretty bad sense of smell.

Phew, wow, it was hot in here, time for me to do some shopping, and some making of stuff.
