[Gameday X] GM Mauve's #9-2 A Case of Missing Persons (Inactive)

Game Master MauveAvengr

Zzorn double moves through the bushes, arriving behind Patros.

Jang directs Magas to attack the beast.

bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 211d8 ⇒ 7 plus bleed and grab

Special Attacks bleed (2d4) : 2d4 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5

free CMB +14 Grapple (Grab) (+4 BAB, +1 Size (Hefty Brute Feat), +5 Str, +4 grab) : 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

Special Attacks blood drain (1d2 Constitution) : 1d2 ⇒ 2

The hound archon steps to Patros and casts aid on him.

@Patros: Aid grants the target a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and saves against fear effects, plus temporary hit points 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8.

Jang doubles moves.

“I am coming!! Wait for me!!“ he says while running.

Jacques tries to move up as fast as he can, but his heavy armor is, well, heavy and he's slow

Ashwell continues his onslaught versus the troll as four arcane missiles fly forth.

Zzorn dashes through the trees in attempts to get closer. It's slow going, but he bursts out near the troll.

Jang's hound archon aids Patros (will take that into account on his turn) while Jang moves as quick as he can. Magas zips through the air to flank the troll! But as the giant mosquito flies by, the troll will attempt to slash it out of the air. (Provokes an AOO)

Direct hit! The mosquito takes a fair amount of damage (-16 hp!) Magas then bites the troll, sucking up some blood and causing a pool of blood to form (will take the bleed damage at the start of it's turn). Unfortunately, the troll swats the mosquito away before it can latch on.

Jacques
Dexter

Ashwell
Zzorn
Jang
- Magas (43/59 damage)

Dexter (and Salazar) are up!

Dexter chugs up as well, moving without heavy armor but with short little legs.

Double Move

His piggy darts forward, ready to defend the odd human that seems to be trying to get killed but somehow not even injured. People are weird.

Whatever, a job's a job.

Move, Attack

Gore - Power Attack + MF: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 1 + 1 = 11 for Magic/Piercing + P.A. + MF: 1d8 + 6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 3 + 1 = 13

”Do any of you have fire or acid? Dump it on that thing to stop it from regenerating,” Ash yells to the group.

Dexter hurries as fast as he can, despite his short legs! Salazar follows, goring the troll. But the boar slips in some mud and loses his attack!

Patros slashes out at the ugly troll with his falcata. A very good hit! Not all of it goes through however. The troll does bleeds out heavily, but barely notices it as it's wounds slowly stitch up.

The troll then lashes out at the most threatening opponent: Patros!

Parry/ripose does not activate.

The troll tears into Patros, first tearing a chunk out of the swashbuckler's side. Then he slashes out with both claws, ripping and rending until the swashbuckler's limp body falls to the floor. 67 points of damage which puts Patros at -9/58 hp.

Zzorn
Jang

- Magas (43/59 damage)

Everyone is up!

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! RETREAT!!" yells Zzorn, grabbing the warrior by the shoulders as falls and pulling him backwards through the woods.

Move action to grab Patros; Move action to pull him through the forest.

Ouchie! should only be at -1....the temp HP from Jang weren't factored in...still hurt and down though...

stabilize: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

attack sledgehammer(no penality+weapon expertise+gauntlet: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

Finally been able to be in front, Jacques swings his sledgehammer with the strength of a thousand men.

"I didn't understand what you said, but your actions speak more to me."

Ash keeps zinging the troll with his magic.

Magic Missiles 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3, 1, 1) + 4 = 12

Jang directs Magas to attack the beast again.

bite: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 2 = 191d8 ⇒ 8 plus bleed and grab

Special Attacks bleed (2d4) : 2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

The hound archon casts aid on Jacques.

@Jacques: Aid grants the target a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and saves against fear effects, plus temporary hit points 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9.

Jang moves.

“I am coming Patros!! Wait for the healing!!“ he says and converts feather fall (Domain 2nd level) to a healing spell for Patros.

cmw: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (1, 8) + 7 = 16

PS: Domain spells cannot be used to cast spells spontaneously.

Thanks for reminding me @Patros!

Zzorn moves up to Patros and starts dragging him away. The troll lashes out at the Ulfen (It gets an AOO)

But the troll barely misses!

Jacques moves up to take the place where Patros once stood. He attempts a fancy sounding style, using an improvised sledgehammer. Just barely hits the troll, but the troll looks stunned by the damage.

Ashwell continues his onslaught of missiles! More fly in the troll's direction.

Jang tries to heal up Patros and the swashbuckler's wounds slowly stitch up. Patros's eyes slowly flitter open as he lays on the ground. (He's prone and his weapon was dropped near the troll)

The hound archon aids Jacques and his fancy techniques. Then Magas, the giant mosquito, attempts to bite the troll. But the troll's skin is too tough.

Patros (15/58 hp, prone, no weapon)

Troll (-130 hp)

Jacques
Dexter
- Salazar
Ashwell
Zzorn
Jang
- Hound archon
- Magas (43/59 damage)

Dexter and Salazar are up!

i do have a weapon cord...

Ah! Then the weapon is at your side.

Thanks Zzorn! Always learning rules! :-) Using resist energy then.

Dexter drops his wand, pulling another as he chugs forward. He taps the injured swashbuckler on the shoulder as he finally gets close to the battle.

CLW on Patros: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"I can't do as much as the priest there, but every bit helps I've learned. I'll try to get in there and support the ones still fighting next."

Salazar gets the funner thing though as he tries to get blood on his tusks with another slash at the fiend.

Gore - Power Attack + MF + Flank: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 - 1 + 1 + 2 = 20 for Magic/Piercing + P.A. + MF: 1d8 + 6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 3 + 1 = 11

If he could feel shame, he would for failing to protect that odd human that was turned into chewed up hamburger before his very eyes. But he doesn't feel shame.

Thanks Zzorn! Always learning rules! :-) Using resist energy then.

No problem! your dwarf's tactics are somewhat... familiar to me... ;)

Dexter zaps his wand on the wounded swashbuckler. Patros' wounds slowly stitch up even more.

Then Salazar gores the creature in front of him. Not all of it seems to go through, but its a solid hit! But the boar watches the troll regenerate right in front of his eyes!

Then the troll lashes out at the most threatening opponent: Jacques.

If Jacque's AC was 2 lower, the troll would have outright killed Jacques! But only 24 damage.

The troll bites at Jacques and takes a huge chunk out of the fighter's side. Then the troll attempts to slash at the fighter again. Only one claw manages to get through Jacques' armor.

Troll (-135 hp)

Jacques (33/57 hp)
Dexter
- Salazar
Ashwell
Zzorn
Jang
- Hound archon
- Magas (43/59 damage)

Everyone is up!

The little gnome slips through the brush and behind his allies to avoid any attacks then reaches out with his wand and taps his injured ally on the leg.

Move, cast CLW on Jacques for 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The boar does what boars do, try to gore things.

Gore - Power Attack + MF + Flank: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 - 1 + 1 + 2 = 20 for Magic/Piercing + P.A. + MF: 1d8 + 6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 3 + 1 = 11

attack sledgehammer(no penality+weapon expertise+gauntlet+aid: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 13 + 1 = 17

reroll! 2 star gm!: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 13 + 1 + 2 = 24
sinkigami style x3+gauntlet+weapon expertise+Vital strike: 12d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 6, 1, 5, 3, 5, 2, 1, 4, 1, 3, 2) + 8 = 46 Bludgeoning

Jacques swings his sledgehammer again. He looks with fear at the creature. Wondering if he would survive.

With the aid, my hp was 41... now 46.

Jang directs Magas to attack the beast again.

bite: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 2 = 191d8 ⇒ 2 plus bleed and grab

Special Attacks bleed (2d4) : 2d4 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

free CMB +14 Grapple (Grab) (+4 BAB, +1 Size (Hefty Brute Feat), +5 Str, +4 grab) : 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 14 + 2 = 25

Special Attacks blood drain (1d2 Constitution) : 1d2 ⇒ 1

And the troll falls to the ground! The life seems to leave it's eyes...

Inspecting the troll's gear, you find his chain shirt armor is magical. You also notice the troll is wearing a bulky gauntlet, where his palms and fingers are studded with wickedly serrated spikes. The troll also has 50 gp in a pouch in his armor.

Thanks for the aid, friends. That thing hits like a runaway wagon... Patros says as he gets up and retrieves his blade with a flick of his wrist.

Might I trouble one of you to use this wnd and maybe poke some sense into me, please? he says with a sheepish grin as he hands over his curative wand.

clw: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 7, 3) + 3 = 18
clw: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1, 4) + 3 = 11
clw: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 2 = 10

lol...8 charges off my wand ...1 off max hp...i'm good with that...

Dexter releases a whoop as the troll falls. It almost took out two pathfinders in a span of seconds, it was a worthy foe. Probably way to powerful for this simple forest though. He muses, "sometimes top level predators need to be taken down. It's better in the end for the ecosystem."

He moves up and takes away the creature's weapons and armor, shrugging as the big mosquito keeps feasting (probably).

Spellcraft DC 18: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Spellcraft DC 20: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

"Anyone need a large +1 chain shirt? Maybe as a blanket?"

Jang heals Magas.

CLW wand : 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (6, 8) + 2 = 16

”Good bye dear Hound Archon!!!“ the dwarf says as the celestial being vanishes.

”I don’t know much about trolls, but I do know they regenerate. Do we need to burn this thing to keep that from happening?”

Knowledge Local to know how to perma kill trolls: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

"That was a close one, Patros. You should always try to gauge the enemy before you engage it. In cases like this, it doesn't hurt waiting for the bugger to come towards our readied blades... and it also allows for a few moments to reassess for these odd times when we're dealing with a friendly monster. Alas here, we'll never know."

Zzorn kneels by the troll to check its pulse and rummage through his belongings to find anything that could shed some light on the monster's identity or who it might be working for or associated with.

Well, I knew my luck would turn against me one day...I think your advice is best...be a little less brash and wait a moment or two...lesson learned...

"Yes man! there's no shame in letting the mages and archers do their job. Let them soften the enemy and live to fight another day!"

After some healing and investigating the troll, the Pathfinders realize something about this troll: it regenerates! Acid or fire typically will stop the regeneration. Just as they realize, the troll's eyes snap open and he bites out at Jacques!

But his bite just chomps down on the air.

Everyone is up again.

"Ah! looks like we'll be able to see if Patros and Montheuil can bear to let our ranged experts do their thing!" jokes the Visbaron, taking several steps back to observe the newly revived battle from afar while drawing a spear.

Move action to the north while drawing spear; Standard action to ready a spear throw should the troll come within 20 feet of Zzorn

Readied Spear Throw IF troll comes within 20 feet of Zzorn: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
piercing dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Just to be clear, the troll is still prone and did not get up!

attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
sinkigami style x3+gauntlet+weapon expertise+Vital strike: 12d6 + 8d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 5, 4, 2, 5, 2, 4) + (6, 5, 4, 1, 2, 4, 5, 3) = 73
Jacques swings his sledgehammer again, again.

Oh for the love f the gods! Patros curses as he gets out a vial of liquid fire to burn the troll when it's down.

Ash zings the troll with another volley of magic Missiles.

Damage 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3, 1, 2) + 4 = 11

Since the troll is prone, Jacques destroys the troll again with his fancy techniques. But it will keep coming back unless something is done....

Patros smashes the vial of liquid fire on the troll.

Blow away, chr!

Can you roll for damage... for reasons.

Dexter looks at their dwarf, "Can't your skeeter there just drain it dry of blood? It can't regenerate with no blood."

If it does enough Con Damage, it should bypass the regen, right? Of course, if it can't penetrate the DR the creature may have, that might not work either.

Jang nods.

”Magas, you can suck it’s blood!“

Con 0 due to damage means death.

rolling a to hit in case i get a 20...for reasons...lolhit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 291d6 ⇒ 51d6 ⇒ 2

"This is hilarious! I do wish we'd have a bard to chronicle this debacle into some kind of peppy song!"

Zzorn sits on a nearby stump and begins to make himself a sandwich, cutting thick slices of old cheddar with his dagger.

Patros smashes down a vial of liquid on the troll... but there is something off. The troll seems to absorb the liquid fire as it's wounds continue to stitch up slowly.
