Longroads Coffeehouse 2.0

Game Master chadius

Stitch's Perception (T): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Stitch gets Meat Wagon and himself ready for combat and tries but fails to locate the King of the Woods.

Roark waits in hopes of the King doing something to reveal themselves.

A green humanoid creatures steps out of the trees. He says “You can bow down now before the King of the Woods.”

He then causes what little plant life there is in the area to attempt to grasp and constrict around you.

Entangle

Round 1:

Sqaures with trees in them are natural difficult terrain. Woodland stride and other similar abilities would apply.

Round 2:

"Ah, the so-called king arrives!" Bella chuckles. But the grass threatens to wrap around her ankles.

Bella's Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
Khiari's Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
I don't know what the DC is, but it probably won't matter.

She leaps to the side. "Your subjects are pathetic." She prances through the weeds. "But I'm no fool. If you wish to begin the hunt, you must chase your prey. So come!"

Performance vs Will DC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Bella begins to back up, "But no faun for you." With a snap of her fingers, Khiari disappears in a puff of smoke.

◇ Reflex Saves vs Entangle, I don't know the DC
◆ Bella attempts >Focused Fascination< to get Panache, probably failed
◆ Bella Strides
◆ Bella dismisses Eidolon

Do I have LOS to the King? Or at least, can he see me?

Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Roark easily avoids the grass. He moves around the wildly undulating grass, trying to get to the King of the Woods.

◆◆◆ Stride

Overdrive ◆:
*Crit Success: +5 damage to personal and construct damage rolls for 1 minute.

I never noticed the 'once per round' restriction on Overdrive activation. Looks like it'll need to wait til the top of Round 2. Guess only 2 actions for me in round 1, no other good use for it with no target in sight.

Stitch Reflex vs Entangle: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Meat Reflex vs Entangle: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Ha! Guess I'll wait to know if that's a crit fail for Stitch or just a regular. Either way, his first action is overdrive again.

Bella successfully evades the entangling plants but Khiari is slowed down by them.
Khiari failed the save

Bella attempts her performance but it seems that the King of the Woods is a tough critic. “Your landing was off, need to flex the knees a bit more.”
Failure vs Will DC

Please see discussion for my question about unmanifesting Khiari.

Roark evades the grasping plants and runs around to approach the King from the side.

Stitch revs up Meat Wagon.
I will allow you to keep the roll from last time.

Sorry, added Entangle DC now.

...and Khiari poofs right back.

"Uh, I don't think it's that easy, sis." She grunts as the vines wrap around her. "Aaaaand the so called King is still here. I'm outta here."

Khiari, entangled and slowed by the vines, only gets about 5 feet towards the rest of the group. "As a reminder, most fey are not bloodthirsty hunters who demand tribute!"

“Ah, thank you for recognizing just how special I am!” the creature boasts.

Khiari struggles to move closer to the others in the party.

Reflex (DC 22): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

"Eep!"

Moving surprisingly fast, Fran manages to dodge the grasping plants and moves out of their immediate reach. Now able to more or less see what they've been talking to, she squints and tries to recall if she knows anything about such a creature.

Recall Knowledge: Arcana/Occultism +9, Nature +8, Religion +6

And then reapplies her shielding magic, for good measure.
______________

◆ Step
◆ Recall Knowledge
◆ Cast Shield

DC 22 Reflex save vs Entangle: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25 (Success)

Nicole easily manages to run over the entangling plants and all. She then throws the alchemist's fire she has been holding at the enemy!
Moderate Alchemist's Fire Bomb Attack, Far Lobber vs King of the Woods: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 = 12
Moderate Alchemist's Fire Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4 fire damage, 2 persistent fire damage, and 2 splash fire damage

She also shoots at the King of the Woods after her awkward throw with the bomb.
Hand Crossbow Attack, MAP vs King of the Woods: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 8 - 5 = 19
Weapon Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6 piercing damage

◆ Stride
◆ Strike
◆ Strike

The plants wrap around Stitch, holding him firmly in place. Looking around nervously and doing the math based on the torque Meat can produce and the squishiness of his own flesh, Stitch takes the safer option and draws his pistol.

"Hold on Meaty, I'm stuck!" He aims and fires through the trees at the green man.

Ranged: Overdrive: +1 Clan Pistol: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Damage (P)(Fatal D10): 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Overdrive, Draw pistol, Shoot said pistol!

Reflex T: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

"What the--?" Clover finds herself immobilized by the greenery, and tries to consider what this creature is.

◈ Recall Knowledge
◈◈ Ray of Frost: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Cold Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 = 11

DC 5 Flat Check for Cover: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Unfortunately her shot with the Ray of Frost goes wild!

Fran's Nature (E): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Fran easily evades the grasp of the plants. She is close enough that she can just step out of the area.

Looking, she doesn’t recognize the creature. She renews her magical shield.

Nicole is also able to evade the grasp of the plants, but it does interfere with her aim. Still, the creature is caught in some of the splash. Her crossbow bolt also misses.

Stitch gets his pistol out and fires. Although it was a good shot, the creature just barely evades it.

Clover gets completely immobilized by the plants. They wrap themselves around her up to her chest.

She fires off a chilling ray at the creature but it hits the branch of a tree.

Clover Nettlesoup's Nature (E): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Clover is pretty sure this is some sort of fey, but doesn’t recognize what type of fey it is.

The King of the Woods moves through the woods to Roark. It has no problems moving through the trees and brush. It claws at him with both claws. The first claw hits hard, the second misses.
claw: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32 DC 22 Fort save vs poison if hit and take damage
slashing: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 6) + 7 = 17
claw, MAP: 1d20 + 15 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 15 - 4 = 15 DC 22 Fort save vs poison if hit and take damage

Round 3:

Bella pauses to watch the thing move through the trees as if they were grass.

Bella's Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
Khiari's Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

She watches for a bit too long, and finds herself caught by the weeds. "Roark! You're too slow in the trees."

She waves to the team. "Everyone, out in the clearing, quickly! The King is much too mobile."

◆ Bella will attempt to Recall Knowledge on the King (Nature +5)
◆ Bella Strides (she has 30 ft movement due to Vivacious Speed, so she moves 10 ft in difficult terrain)
◆ Khiari Strides

Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

"SQUAWK!" Roark yells in pain as the King slashes at him. Putting on a brave face anyway, Roark dances for the King.

Dance, Virtuosic Performance: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
That probably doesn't work

He backs out of the woods and raises his buckler.

◆ Dance
◆ Stride
◆ Raise Buckler (+2 AC)

"Out in the clearing?!" Clover says, tugging on the vines that have her completely stuck in place. "That's easy for you to say! I'm kinda stuck here!"

But as the Immobilized effect only lasts one round...

Clover abruptly feels the vines releasing around her.

Reflex T: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

"Oh... never mind!" She kicks away the entangle effect, then casts a healing spell on Roark. "Stay in the fight, Roark!"

◈◈ Heal (30 ft range): 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (5, 6) + 16 = 27

◈ Then she slowly steps away from the entangling plants.

Bella Sidare's Nature (T): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Other than some sort of fey, Bella doesn’t recognize this creature either.

She struggles to get to the edge of the entangling plants, Khiari right behind her.

Roark tries his dance with no effect. He then retreats and raises his buckler to protect himself.

Clover manages to get free of the plants long enough to heal Roark and slip past Meat Wagon. Her magic is strong enough to completely heal her ally.

Round 2:

Nicole draws another bomb to quickly throw at the King of the Woods. "Catch that!"
Moderate Alchemist's Fire Bomb Attack, Far Lobber vs King of the Woods: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 = 10
Hero Point! Moderate Alchemist's Fire Bomb Attack, Far Lobber vs King of the Woods: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 1 = 24
Moderate Alchemist's Fire Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4 fire damage, 2 persistent fire damage, and 2 splash fire damage

She also shoots at the King of the Woods after reloading.
Hand Crossbow Attack, MAP vs King of the Woods: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 8 - 5 = 14
Weapon Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 piercing damage

Stitch Reflex vs Entangle DC22: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Meat Reflex vs Entangle DC22: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Stitch reloads his pistol while encouraging Meat Wagon "Just some old roots, drop it in low and power through!" Pointing towards the clearing to the northeast.

Reload, Command x2

The loud angry one thinks of everything.

Meat Wagon's engine roars as it drops its gear ratio down for more torque. The wheels spin, straining against the tangled roots... almost, but they hold tight.

Escape: Athletics vs DC22: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

The engine races and races, smog pouring out and trying again...

Escape: Athletics vs DC22: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 8 - 5 = 14

And again...

Escape: Athletics vs DC22: 1d20 + 8 - 10 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 10 = 1

Meat Wagon tries to get out of the weeds, only to have them wrap around it’s axel.

With the King having moved closer, Fran uses her magic to fling a nearby broken branch!

Telekinetic Projectile (Hero Point): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Damage (B): 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Come on...come a little closer...

She then renews her magical shield.
______________

◆◆ Telekinetic Projectile

Fran barely misses the creature with the branch.

The King of the Woods moves through the trees and attacks Roark before retreating back into the forest. Crit

"SQUAWK! Will you STOP that?!"

Roark attempts to locate the King through the woods.

Cover: 1d20 ⇒ 9

"Now I'm gonna show you what I learned in my travels. I hope you like fire!"

Produce Flame: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Fire?: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3) + 3 = 10

Roark backs off to lick(?) his wounds.

◆◆ Produce Flame ◆ Stride

Cover modifies AC, Concealment is what requires a flat check.
Right now the creature isn’t hiding, so it only has cover.

Roark’s ball of fire misses the King of the Woods.

Round 3:

Bella and Khiari finally get out of the entanglement. "Out into the clearing! The king is too strong inside the thicket!"

Bella Strided twice, Khiari Strided once.

Fran steps up next to Bella and glares at the King, who can be glimpsed through the trees.

"You'll be sorry you hurt my friends..."

The tone is surprisingly threatening, coming from Fran, and bodes ill for the King of the Woods.
______________

◆ Step
◆◆ Cast Ill Omen; DC 19 Will save.

Bella and Khiari move out into the open.

Fran tries her magic on the creature. It doesn’t seem to affect them.
Will: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

“Hurt them? I plan to kill all but one.”

She is caught by the vines and shrooms of the area, but she tries hard to make her way out of it despite this dilemma. After escaping, she gets closer to the King that is among the trees, and throws another bomb.

Moderate Alchemist's Fire Bomb Attack, Far Lobber vs King of the Woods: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 = 10
Hero Point! Moderate Alchemist's Fire Bomb Attack, Far Lobber vs King of the Woods: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 1 = 19

◆ Escape
◆ Stride
◆ Quick Bomber

Although the plants are wrapped around her, Nicole manages to escape them. She then gets to the edge of the grabby plants and lobs a bomb at the King of the Woods. It misses, but some of it does splash him.
Escape has the Attack trait, so your attack with bomb would have MAP penalty. Still only a failure.

"Why are there so many plants in a frozen wasteland!" Stitch struggles to escape the plants so they can get out, only to be tied down even worse.

Stitch Acrobatics vs Entangle DC22: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

He aims and fires off a shot in frustration before reloading again.

Having to make two of these in a turn is rough.

Ranged: Overdrive: +1 Clan Pistol: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (15) + 7 - 5 = 17
Damage (P)(Fatal D10): 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Escape, Shoot, Reload. Cry.

◈◈ Heal (30 ft range): 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (4, 1) + 16 = 21

Clover heals Roark, then moves towards the clearing.

Stitch and Meat Wagon are both having trouble with the weeds. Stitch tries to get himself out of the plant’s grasp but finds himself stuck. He does take a shot at the King of the Woods, but misses.

Clover once again heals Roark and then moves out into the clearing.

The King of the Woods gestures and a thorny wall rises from the ground, separating Bella from the rest of you. Those who don’t want to go through the wall would be forced to climb the rocks or go through the forest.

Persistent Fire still burning?: 1d20 ⇒ 11 Yup

"Sis!" Khiari squeals.

Khiari's Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Khiari begins to scamper up the rocky wall. 10 ft to the right.

Bella, meanwhile, holds her cold iron dagger and simply waits. "Well, your highness... I await your challenge."

Bella will Ready an action to Strike the King of the Woods if they are within melee range.

"Break through the wall if you can't scale the cliff." She turns and calls her allies.

◈◈ Burning Hands (15 or 20 ft Cone, Reflex DC 19): 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 5) + 1 = 12

Clover works on burning a section of thorny wall to help others break through.

Stitch Reflex vs Entangle DC22: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Meat Reflex vs Entangle DC22: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Well, at least no crit fails.

"Onward Meat Wagon, get us out of this blasted jungle." He points to the north before holstering his pistol. Time to shove this spear up that thing's poop shoot!

Stow gun, double command.

Finally not locked in place Meat Wagon shifts down to low gear, wheels lurching ahead slowly, bumper pushing through the roots and limbs towards freedom. This field needs mowing. Maybe that green guy wants it cut?

Stride x3. Hopefully I did that right. Speed penalty gives MW a 15ft speed, through difficult terrain at 10' per square, 4 squares ending in a squeeze with Fran? I gotta get out of this entangle or I won't be able to do anything the whole fight!

Clover leaves a section of the thorns scorched.

Finally Stitch and Meatwagon made their way out of the grasping plants.

We've got to try and slow him down!

Fran does her best to make room for Meat Wagon as it finally trundles out of the entangling plants, but it's a bit awkward. Tired of the King's elusiveness, Fran furrows her brow and attempts to yank his feet out from under him!

Telekinetic Maneuver - Trip: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

She then moves out of Meat Wagon's way and towards Nicole, moving into the trees.

DC 22 Reflex save vs Entangle: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 (Crit Fail, Immobilized)

Nicole is caught by the plants, unable to move! Nevertheless, she pulls out another bomb and throws it at the King of the Woods.
Moderate Alchemist's Fire Bomb Attack, Far Lobber vs King of the Woods: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 = 10
Moderate Alchemist's Fire Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 4) = 12 fire damage, 2 persistent fire damage, and 2 splash fire damage

"Such a waste!" she complains, and draws another to throw to the enemy.

Moderate Alchemist's Fire Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8 fire damage, 2 persistent fire damage, and 2 splash fire damage

Seeing that she is just wasting important resource of her own, she reloads her weapon instead.

◆ Quick Bomber

>In this post,< Khiari climbed the rocks, and Bella is Readying an Action to Strike the King if he closes in.

I had seen it but somehow failed to update my scratch sheet.

Nicole gets caught in the weeds and throws a couple of poorly aimed bombs. Deciding that wasn’t working, she reloads her crossbow.

The King in the Woods stands up. Looking around, he decides to go for Bella. “Seems you are separated from the rest of the sheep.”

As soon as he is in reach, Bella slashes at him with her cold iron dagger. Unfortunately she misses.

He responds by attacking with his claws, slashing her.
claw: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22 DC 22 Fort save vs poison if hit and take damage

Stitch looks back and forth as the others try burning down the thick brambles "Best run around folks, no time for tactics." He gives Meat Wagon extra commands to skirt the wall.

Now with a good view of the green man he ponders what he knows.

Double command, recall knowledge.

Stitch rides Meat Wagon around the wall. He feels like he has heard about a creature like this, but can’t remember the details.

"The most exciting part of Sheep and Wolf is determining who has what role."

The trees seem to step aside as the King quickly makes his grand entrance. Bella's swing is too high and the King retaliates in kind.
Fort Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Not only do the claws rake against Bella's armor, but she feels her nervous system weaken as something burns from his claws.

The first thing to do is run between the King.

Acrobatics vs the King's Reflex DC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

That didn't work.

Cold Iron Dagger: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Piercing Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

But maybe this will. "A blow for a blow, your highness!" Her aim is good, but not good enough.
