GM Tyranius (PF2) Gameday X Lions of Katapesh (Inactive)

Game Master Tyranius

Gawira can't tell exactly what is happening with this halfling. He seems far more feral and has been living on her own in the wilderness for some time. Tiger's javelin narrowly misses as it clatters against the stone floor. Grog rushes the cats and palm strikes it on the rump to try and get the kitty's attention. Itka gives Tiger a little guidance to help out his next attacks.

Jonas will move up behind the pillar and hide from the halfling.

◆ Stride
◆ Stride
◆ Hide

Stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

@Jonas- I will keep your roll just keep in mind in the future that Hide is a secret check.

Jonas runs behind the pillar trying his best to stay out of sight. Kip moves to the top of the stairs, conjuring up a roiling ball of pitch that tumbles down the stairs.

Flaming Sphere is on the map at the bottom of the stairs.

Gizzard gulps. "Uh... maybe I should've thought this out a bit better..."

He looks at the leopards and considers his odds of disabling the most heavily wounded of them to make an escape.

◆ Devise a Strategem vs Red: 1d20 ⇒ 20

He grins wide, then raises his bow. "Night night kitty."

He pins the leopard's paw to the ground, then leaps through to find a safer position.

Using Takedown Mastery to make the attack nonlethal and spare a kitty cat.

◆ Strategic Strike vs Red: 20 + 7 = 27
Damage (NL): 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + (5) = 8 x2 for crit plus...
Deadly Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 2

With that he runs out of the awkward position he placed himself.

Assuming that KO'd red, Gizzard will ◆ Stride along the marked path. If that didn't... well... I guess he'll try to acrobatics his way through yellow's square instead and drop back behind Grog.

Gizzard pins the leopards paw to the ground as he clocks it out cold with the wooden bow. The leopard slumps over as Gizzard rushes out to safety. One of the leopards gives chase, only to find Tiger and Gawira in its path.

Pink Claw vs Gawira AC 19: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
Pink Claw vs Gawira AC 19: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 4 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Yellow Bite vs Grog AC 19: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 + Grab

Yellow Claw vs Grog AC FF 17: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 10 - 4 = 16

Gawira feels a mighty claw swipe into her side as Grog has the leopards maw go around his leg.

"Sorry kitty, no eat me..."
He then attempts to thwack it thrice..

heavy pick: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

heavy pick: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (9) + 9 - 5 = 13
damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

heavy pick: 1d20 + 9 - 10 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 10 = 13
damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Assuming I can share the space with the torch

Tiger takes two steps to flank pink. He drops into a stance and lashes out with two leg strikes at the leopard.

Dragon Tail; FF, Guidance: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 = 10
Dragon Tail; FF: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Damage, Dragon Tail, Bludgeoning: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Doubled to 20

◆ Stride
◆ Dragon Stance
◆ Flurry of Blows; Dragon Tail

Grog's pick cracks the leopards hip bone as it thumps into it. Assuming a dragon stance Tiger's powerful leg nearly knocks the leopard out in a single blow as it its right into the beasts neck.

Itka
Jonas

From his cover, Jonas hurls a dagger at a leopard (pink), then draws another. He looks for a way up to the halfling without going past the flaming sphere.

◆ Throw dagger Attack!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 231d4 ⇒ 4
◆ Draw dagger
◆ Depends on observations

Attack should be two lower from range?

Gawira looks up at the feral halfling in pity.

She ignores the leopard standing right in her face. "Hey buddy. No offense, but your breath stinks.". She hobbles away to get closer to the halfling.

◆ Stride

Gawira then attempts to divert the feral halfling's attention away from her by pointing towards the combat.

◆ Create a Diversion

Deception, Outwit: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 2 = 23

If successful, become hidden on first attack

◆ Hunted Shot

Shortbow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Shortbow: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 5 = 20
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Drat. Two turns in a row in which Itka is just one square too far away to get her desired targets in range. Boo!

Lip curling in disgust, Itka conjures black greasy tendrils to fling a loose stone at the leopard threatening Grogggg, then hoofs it deeper into the cavern to try to lay eyes on that feral halfling. Hmp. Too slow. Curse this gimpy hip!

Telekinetic Projectile (B): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 231d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

◆◆ Cast a Spell, ◆ Stride

Ignoring the leopards Gawira fires a pair of arrows into the halflings shoulder and knee. Itka sends a loose stone into wounded leopards side. It breaks several ribs that end up puncturing a lung. Jonas tosses a dagger right under the remaining leopards eye as it cleanly sticks in.

Kip leaps down the stairs as he directs the flaming spehere underneath Gawira's feet.

Flaming Sphere Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 6) = 10 DC 16 Reflex Save for no damage.

Itka
Jonas

Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

(Gawira takes 10 damage and is at 11/28 hp now)

Gizzard watches Kip hop down the steps.

◇ Strategem vs Kip: 1d20 ⇒ 20 Oh the gift of foresight!

He nocks an arrow and begins to aim at Kip, then pauses. One more second and I gots me a headshot... let's loose the first at the bad kitty on friend...

"Hippity hop, hippity hop..."

He ◆ strides forward to get a clear shot, then fires one arrow at the last leopard.

◆ Strike vs Leopard: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Damage (NL, P): 1d6 ⇒ 3

A split second after the arrow flies he nocks a second and pivots back to Kip.

"Now I make your murder-spree STOP!"

As soon as Kip's foot touches the floor, Gizzard's second arrow flies. A moments hesitation causes him to shift his aim by a fraction of a degree, and he aims to glance the side of his head.

Maybe it kill him anyway... maybe it don't... but paffinder manual said don't kill if you don't have ta... although I kinda hope he does anyways... but least nobody gonna say I dinnit try...

◆ Strategic Strike vs Kip, Iterative: 20 + 7 - 5 = 22
Damage (NL, P): 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + (1) = 4 double that for crit
Deadly: 1d10 ⇒ 9

The leopard dodges the arrow but Kip isn't as fortunate. Gizzard tracks the halfling and puts and arrow right into the halflings head, killing her on the spot.

The leopard bites and swipes at Tiger's back.

Pink Bite vs Tiger AC 18: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 Crit for 24

Pink Claw vs Gawira AC 19: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 10 - 4 = 17

The leopard tears into Tiger's chest, crushing bones as he falls to the ground. With one threat down the leopard leaps at Gawira.

Round 4

Round 3

Itka
Jonas

Recovery: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Spending my hero point to not die

Zzzzz...

Gawira shakes her head. "Such a pity. Sad to see a fellow halfling die. Wish I could've gotten through to them and have them see they were wrong."

◆ Step north

◆ Hunt Prey

◆ Hunted Shot

Shortbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Shortbow: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 5 = 15
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

"Hmp." With the feral halfling dead, Itka turns her focus to the remaining leopard just as it mauls Tiger viciously. A ferocious growl escapes her throat as she stares it down and gives it a *very* rude gesture. "Badk kitty!"

Casting Evil Eye on the bad kitty. DC 18 will save; failure=Frightened 1

This is followed by harsh, guttural chanting as shadows coalesce around the leopard's head.

Casting Phantom Pain on the bad kitty. DC 18 will save.

Phantom Pain (mental damage): 2d4 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5
Phantom Pain (persistent mental damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

◆ Cast a Spell, ◆◆ Cast a Spell

That was non-lethal for what it's worth.

Jonas slides in to engage the last Leopard standing, again using Twin Feint to ensure an off-balance foe.

◆ Stride
◆◆ Twin Feint

Short Sword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 161d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Dagger, Leopard flat footed: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 91d4 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 4 + (6) = 11

"Bad kitty!"
Grog runs up to the leopard and... lays a gentle hand on Tiger's face...
The he thwacks the bad kitty.

Stride, Lay on Hands (6 healing, +2 to AC next round in case that matters), strike. And yeah. I know i'm setting myself up for an AOO if it has one..

heavy pick +1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
P damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

If my turn comes around again, I'm probably going to exercise the better part of valor... since the GM's dice have crit written all over it... :)

Yes, no sense you being in that mix now. Get out if you can or just play dead. :)

Gawira's shots miss as does Grogs pick. Luckily he can get in close enough to heal Tiger's wounds. Itka gives the bad kitty the evil eye.

Evil Eye DC 18 Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Phantom Pain DC 18 Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

The phantom pain is just too much for the leopard as it collapses from a burst heart. The feline’s lair is filled with the bodies of goblins and other creatures that have been killed by the group of felines. A variety of odds and ends can be found among the fallen, including 36 gp. 3 Treasure Bundles.

Out of Combat

Tiger gets up and drinks the healing potion (the consumable).

Healing: 1d8 ⇒ 4

"My thanks, friends. That was a close one, indeed."

Tiger pulls out his healer's tools and binds Gizzard's wounds.

Medicine: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Healing: 2d8 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7

If we have enough time I'll treat my own wounds as well

Medicine: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Healing: 2d8 ⇒ (7, 4) = 11

"Hmp." Itka curtly nods once as the last leopard collapses, then hobbles over to Tiger as she pulls out her healer's tools. "Hmp. Healing another while you're still so close to death? Hold still, young man. Cat scratches are prone to infection." She stops her grumbling lecture as she devotes herself to her task.

Treat Wounds DC 15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

HP healed: 2d8 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6
Wounded condition removed.

Itka, I'm at full hp from my own treat wounds.

Jonas looks around as best he can. "This seems like quite a large cave complex. Should we explore some more?" He seems quite disgusted with the halfling's diet. "Eating Goblins is definitely wrong. How twisted do you need to be to think otherwise?"

"So, halfling just angry and maybe a little crazy? So sad that cause death of so many."

Exploring the cave you find little more than bones and the few coins you did. Kip had little more than hide armor and a wooden shield. Unfortunately the goblin drug off from the camp did not survive as its mutilated corpse lies in the corer, partially eaten.

Having ended the hostilities you return to the camp to meet with Yigrig. The goblin is so overjoyed that the bridge is easily completed in the next several days. Yigrig rewards you with a small sack of coins, joyous at only having lost one goblin to the leopard attacks (And 3 more to the bridges construction). 4 more treasure bundles.

That is the end of this scenario. I will have chronicles out soon and will get this reported. Please feel free to continue role-playing as much as you wish.

Wow. A real close shave... I spent most of the last fight asleep...

Gizzard brings the (KO'd halfling / Corpse of Kip) back to the camp and leaves it for Yigrig. "If anyone deserves ta pass judgment it's you..."

Gizzard looks incredibly grumpy, but at the very least much more calm knowing the rest of the goblins are safe.
