GM Tyranius (PF2) Breaking the Storm Trilogy (Inactive)

Game Master Tyranius

"Zhao, it was nothing. Your swordplay is graceful and precise. A talent like yours is uncommon. Sadly, our adversaries are the 1 of 1000 genius with the fervor of a madman." responds Omble.

Save you heal spells as the purple dolok tree will continue to heal every 6 seconds

A second signal horn blasts through the air alerting the perimeter guards of more oncoming attackers. Once more Omble and Eithrim take to their vantage points.

The enemy is much more difficult to spot this time around as they seem to be attempting a stealthier approach. Omble notices ash-gray hounds that appear to be unimpeded by the rough terrain.

Eithrim spots several humanoid figures approaching alongside the hounds, using the smoke and burning trees to shroud their advance.

With the smoke and debris from the flames everywhere it is too difficult to tell exactly what direction the enemy will be advancing from.

Go ahead and reposition your tokens and trees.

Bardok moves his tree closer to the camp site and draws his wand in preparation for the approaching attackers.

Ready.

Kohl retires to his original position next to the red dolok tree. He leans against it with false casualness, but he gives a very un-Draconic squeak when the tree shifts under his clawed hand.

Rex returns to his spot nearer the well.

Once in position, can I repeat casting Inspire Courage so it is up at the start of the encounter?

A signal horn blasts through the air to alert the Farheaven clan forces. Commotion stirs once more as the surrounding areas prepare for more oncoming attackers. The fire continues to roar in contest on the western edge of the forest as howling is heard rapidly approaching despite no footsteps being heard. From the southern and northern borders several large hounds come out from the woods. There also is a charred humanoid creature wielding a bow that is moving stealthily along the western perimeter.

Two of the hounds run right over the water as if they were walking on air itself, closing in around Bardok. The third hound to the south begins approaches the southern perimeter of the base and then paws at the edge of the light and emits unearthly baying that starts to send chills down everyone's back.

Everyone make a DC 25 will Save. This is an audible effect with fear and mental traits. Failure is Frightened 1 and Crit failure is Frightened 3 and Fleeing.

Will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Ancestor: 1d4 ⇒ 3 =>spells

Fen sees her magical ancestor Zhao Shuo floating before her, his arms crossed as ever. She nods in his direction and brings up her katana in both hands, pulling the handle right up to her shoulder and pointing the blade toward the southernmost hound.

A beam of purest moonlight shoots out.

Water Blast vs Blue: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

@Bardok- Even adding the extra 20 feet I don't think you would be able to reach orange with the 80 feet gust of wind is able to go. Am I missing something?

Fen sends pure moonlight into the southern hound. The moonlight sears through beasts hide, ceasing its baying momentarily. With noone left to heal the dolok tree stands by idly. Hit

Rex pulls out his crossbow and sends an alchemical vial into the hounds chest. It bursts open sending a frosty rime across it's muzzle that quickly evaporates from the het of the flames nearby. Hit

Tremendous Kohl roars at the hounds as he shifts in to try and protect Bardok. His flail flicks out, striking against the hounds legs. Hit

Bardok's limbs lengthen out as a torrent of wind and water rush out. The wind begins to draw in the water droplets from the river as it pelst the hounds.

Pink Fort Save DC 23: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
Blue Fort Save DC 23: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34

The pink hound is knocked prone as the wind hits it right in the face, throwing it back. The blast of water misses the hounds low profile.

No, it's only 60 feet. My bad, I thought it was 120 feet for some reason.

Omble with his encyclopedic knowledge tries to identify those hounds.

Eithrim's guisarme slashes into the hounds paw, though the blast of water from his tree misses due to the forest in between. cover Omble finds the softer underside of the hound as his blade slices it open. The warbeast howls in pain as it flops about, though still alive. Crit and reaction missed

Omble Dolok Tree Water Blast: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
Damage (cold): 4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 3, 3) = 10

The hounds begin to stir once more and now that they are in a little better light Omble recognizes them as Yeth Warbeasts. Weak to silver and able to walk on the air. A yeth warbeasts bay and bite will cause even the bravest warrior to shake in their boots.

The yeth warbeast bounds out of the woods at Tremendous Kohl and bites at teh kobold.

Kohl feels the powerful jaws clamp around his lag as he is quickly dragged down to the ground. Meanwhile the pink warbeast near Omble howls in pain as its guts partially spill from its belly. The yowl shakes the trees all around as the sonic effect reverberates through the air.

"No! My tree!

Hoping to his arboreal buddy, Kohl strides over to green and swings his flail.

Snagging Strike: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 18 + 1 = 31 for bludgeoning: 2d6 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 7 + 2 = 14
Snagging Strike: 1d20 + 18 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 18 + 1 - 5 = 27 for bludgeoning: 2d6 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 7 + 2 = 13

If the first is a crit, he's prone and frightened 1. On a hit, he's flat footed as long as he's adjacent to me.

Navarre tries to recompose himself and take the value of the deepest part of his soul to tackle again with fierceness the diabolical hound

attack 1: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35
attack 1: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

damage: 2d10 + 7 ⇒ (1, 5) + 7 = 13
damage: 2d10 + 7 ⇒ (2, 1) + 7 = 10

Bardok swallows Rex's elixir and nods in thanks, turning his magical power against the most injured attackers.

recall knowledge in the archers, and Battle Assessment

THE main danger is put down. Omble, hiding in the bushes, tries to identify those archers. Third action sneak

Fen looks to Shuo for what to do next, but instead she sees her mother's spirit Zhao Jingfei pointing to the nearby archers.

Fen calls out to the one engaged with Kohl

"I'm sure Urxehl will be very proud of you mighty warriors, between you you might yet kill a tree!"

◈ Bon Mot (Auditory Concentrate Emotion General Linguistic Mental Skill)
Diplomacy, status: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 15 + 1 = 35

The smile fades from her face as she continues, and she looks sad.

"Though even that seems unlikely. You're going to die here unless you surrender"

◈ Demoralize (Auditory Concentrate Emotion Fear Mental)
Intimidation, status: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 14 + 1 = 30

Her mother continues to encourage her to tackle the and push them into the water, but Fen has long since learned that her mother lacks wisdom, and instead she conjures a shield
DC 6 Flat: 1d20 ⇒ 16

◈ Cast a Spell (verbal) - Shield (Abjuration Cantrip Force)
Ancestor: 1d4 ⇒ 4 Her choice =>Spells

Rex tosses a bomb at the farther archer (red).

Rex then tries to send a jolt of electricity through the two archers closest to him.

◈◈ Cast a Spell - Electric Arc (cantrip, electricity, evocation)
Tradition: arcane
Components: somatic, verbal
Range: 30 feet
Targets: 1 or 2 creatures

Eithrim DC 25 Will Sinister Bite: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23

Eithrim Dolok Tree Water Blast: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 2, 1) = 9

Quite shaken Eithrim continues to hunt the fiendish hound and manages to wound it a little more as his tree douses some of the archers in water. Hit, miss, miss Fen does all she can to keep the archers off balance Crit success on both.

Zhao Fen Dolok Tree Heal (Eithrim): 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (7, 3) + 16 = 26

Rex sends dread throughout their ranks and it seems very effective. Crit on the bomb.

Green Electric Arc Reflex DC 24: 1d20 + 15 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 15 - 2 = 22

Kohl drags the wounded archer to the ground and bashes it's skull in with his flail. His dolok tree reaching for the other.

Kohl Dolok Tree Branch: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35
Damage: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (7, 3) + 7 = 17 + Grab

A thick and jagged branch smashes into the ash archer's side, breaking numerous bones, as it grabs ahold of the enemy.

Omble remains in the bushes where he tries to observe the enemies weakness.

Omble is aware that the ash archers seem to have a resistance to fire, but are not immune to its effects.

Omble Dolok Tree Water Blast: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

Bardok tries to get eyes on the wounded as he rockets magical missiles into its chest. His Dolok tree concentrates water onto the severely wounded ash archer and ends up drowning it.

Jaws vs Eithrim AC 27: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18
Jaws vs Eithrim AC 27: 1d20 + 17 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 17 - 5 = 25

Blue Tree Attack vs Orange Archer (1 range increment): 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 13 - 2 = 12
Damage (cold): 4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 2, 5) = 12

Fen points her sword at the remaining archer, desperately trying to cut down a tree as the Pathfinders surround them.

She shifts it and speaks the words as Zhao Shuo mouths them, and a beam of ice shoots at the archer.

◈◈ Cast a Spell - Ray of Frost (Attack Cantrip Cold Evocation)
Spell Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
Cold: 3d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2, 2) + 4 = 10

She's moving as soon as the spell to help Kohl flank

Kohl strides up and takes a few swings at the remaining archer, flanking with Fen.

On a hit, he's flat footed as long as he's adjacent to me.

discerning strike vs archer: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19
damage+cold+sneak attack+discerning strike: 2d6 + 8 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 8 + (3) + (4, 2) + (6) = 29 and he is bleed 1.

damage+cold+sneak attack: 2d6 + 6 + 1d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) + 6 + (5) + (6, 5) = 30

Omble goes and swing!

Zhao freezes the ash archer's leg as her dolok tree keeps healing Eithrim.

Zhao Fen Dolok Tree Healing: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (5, 2) + 16 = 23

Kohl Dolok Tree Branch: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35
Damage: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (6, 5) + 7 = 18

Kohl begins to beat into the ash archers side with his flail as the tree's heavy branch shatters the archer's back and spine. Bardok's magic missiles scream out from across the field and batter into the beast's side. The force of the blow breaks it's ribs, puncturing its lungs, killing it.

Out of Combat. You are healed to full via the purple Dolok Tree.

A group of Sarkorian druids soon approach the group with an Iobarian shaman. the Shaman speaks, "I'm Ceneviel, these are your reinforcements. Nelket has asked you return to camp. There are several things we could use help with if you're willing!" Cenenviel prepares to walk back to camp with you as the druids stay to tend to the land. The druids ask to keep the Dolok trees in their place in case of an ambush.

Kohl tucks away his flail with a flourish.

"Sure, safe enough now that those demons aren't trying to eat everyone."

Fen sighs with relief after the battle. Her ancestral spirits that only she can see start to dissipate, but she calls after her mother as she fades away.

"Find Li for me, he didn't visit the whole battle. My swordplay needs his help!"

Answering any questioning looks she receives with a shrug, she checks on her companions to make sure that they are in good health and high spirits.

"When they said we were some of the most experienced Pathfinders left I thought they were exaggerating, but you are amazing!"

Once she's made sure everyone is ok she sets off toward the camp.

Omble falls down the ground.

Ceneviel chuckles at Omble, "Very well, catch your breath!" but then hardly waits more than a few moments before setting off in the direction of the camp. On the way he takes note of the nearby forest, pointing out various damage that has been caused to the land and trees.

Several Farheaven warriors who are also heading back to camp join up with the group. They appear to be wounded and tired, but strangely exhilarated and upbeat. You hear them talk amongst themselves "These relatively sparse attacks pale in comparison to the endless waves of demons pouring from the Worldwound. Victory is in sight!"

Arriving to camp you see camp bustling with activity as wounded soldiers get treated, and everyone seems to have something they are working on. Nelket spots your group, "Great work out there, scouts confirmed no enemies made it through your line! If you don't mind another favor, there's lots to be done around here."

Looking around you see all five of your contacts that the Decemvirate mentioned. Each contact appears to be focused on something different.

Kohl goes around to help out Ceneviel.

"Work, work, work! Let's move those dead logs. Watch out for nettles!."
Athletics: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18

Rex tries to help Nelket calm down the survivors.

"My friends do not fear. The demon forces have met their match!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30
