[Nostalgia Con] GM Silbeg's PFS2 3-99 Fate in the Future (7-8) (Inactive)

Game Master Silbeg

Jaqard gets a critical success on the balance. FYI it is DC22. Remember that a success on Balance only allows as 1/2 speed move, folks!

Jaqard rushes forward with a speed and agility only a monk could manage! He then strikes twice at the beast, missing once. The creature easily ignores the stunning fist, though.

fort vs DC22: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 18 = 32
reflex from being hit vs DC22: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32

It then takes its turn on Jaqard!

First it tries to gore our monk!
antler vs FF AC25: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31 piercing: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Jaqard reflex: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33 Does not fall down
As it strikes, it snarls, causing its antlers to reverberate! sonic damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Then it throws back its head and lets out a mighty roar!

Will save from everyone!

”ROAR!!!!”
Iarann is/are up.
Buffs/Adjustments: WILL SAVE REQUIRED

Nina curtsies politely at the Venture Captain, and then follows the group.

---

Once again, Nina is surprised by the onset of combat. She only reacts when she hears a roar - and Jaqard has already run up to the threat!

Will: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27

She clutches her ears, but remains calm.

Will Save DC 23: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Bair resists the worst of the roar, but his ears still ring and... is that blood in his gorgeous hair!?!

"OH HELL NAW. KITTEH GONNA DIE!"

Don't forget your Marshal Aura +1 status. vs Fear when within 10' of Talos — if this is applicable

Will (M): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29 +1 status. vs Fear not included, so a 30 this is a fear effect

Will save (Brynn): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33
Will save (Sprig): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

Added Sprig to the map. They're basically with Brynn until a fight breaks out

Looks like this does have a fear trait

Nina, Bair, Dr. Talos, and Sprig all resist the worst of the roar's affect, but blood still trickles out of their ears. Brynn avoids it completely!

Iarann? And will saves still needed from Jaqard and Iarann

”ROAR!!!!”
Iarann is/are up.
Buffs/Adjustments: WILL SAVE (Iarann, Jaqard), +1 to Fear saves within 10' of Talos


Round to progress 2022-01-28 0800 CST (UTC-6)

Will: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 14 + 1 = 25 Crit success due to bravery

Iarann isn't disturbed in the least by the display, "Oi, I've dropped dookies scarier than that!" He does his best to close, but it takes him some time, and thankfully his bracelet helps, Acrobatics: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 12 + 1 = 24

Once he gets there, he's got an axe for the beastie!
ATK: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37 for DMG: 2d12 + 7 ⇒ (5, 12) + 7 = 24

DC 23 Will: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35
Jaqard shrugs off the creature's attempt at dominance.

Iarann shrugs of the trumpeting call, as does Jaqard.

Iarann hobbles forward to attack, and lands a blow right between the antlers!
Technically, that's two balance actions... so please roll 1 per Balance activity from now on.

Then another of the creatures comes bounding out from beyond your sight!

And then another, though its antlers are not quite as large!

Bair can just see them

”ROAR!!!!”
Brynn, Bair, Nina is/are up.
Buffs/Adjustments: Difficult Terrain!


Can Sudden Charge be used with the Balance Action?

The big lug shouts out, "TWO MOAH KITTEHS SNEAKIN UP!"

@Bair Sudden Charge allows you to Stride twice, and then Strike. You cannot Stride unless you have Steady Balance. Both Stride and Balance are distinctly named actions. So, no.

◆ Balance: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20 vs DC 22

Nina tries to move, but can't!

In frustration, she waves her hands and centers her spirit. Calling out to Andoletta, she whispers, "Salama!"

◆◆ Nina casts Calm Emotions (Heightened 4th). Note Calm Emotions has the Incapacitation trait. Nina will target #2 and Y1 if she can see Y1 or discern its location from Bair's shoutout - and #1 and #2 if she can't see Y1.

Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success Calming urges impose a –1 status penalty to the creature's attack rolls.
Failure Any emotion effects that would affect the creature are suppressed and the creature can't use hostile actions. If the target is subject to hostility from any other creature, it ceases to be affected by calm emotions.
Critical Failure As failure, but hostility doesn't end the effect.

The goblin draws a sharp blade and tries to tiptoe through the rubble.

Acrobatics (E) + Bracelets: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 14 + 1 = 17

Having to stop to steady himself, he curses, ”FUGGIT!”

Acrobatics (E) + Bracelets: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 14 + 1 = 33

And rushes forward, stopping just in reach of the nearest kitty.

Interact, Balance Fail, Balance Crit move 20 ft.

Action 1-2: Enlarge
Action 3: Leap

Brynn draws further upon the primal power she commands, shaping magic meant for growing plants. She funnels it into Iarann, who more than doubles in size!

She then makes her way closer to the fray... by jumping!
Leap, with Powerful Leap and Quick Jump. She can go 20ft

Nina, please list your DCs with the spells.
Nina cannot see Y1
Nina slips on the ice and cannot move.

]
#1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28 Success
#2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 Fail

Bair then attempts to move forward, but slips on the ice himself! He then recovers and rushes forward

Brynn makes Iarann bigger, and then LEAPS forward!

You then see and hear several more of the younger creatures coming in, including from behind you! They do not seem hindered by the ice!

”Flanking maneuvers!!!!”
Dr Talos, Jaqard is/are up.

Apologies, I had the degrees of success as a spoiler with the DC, then I moved it out of the spoiler and forgot to leave the text in. I think you figured it out, but in case not, it's DC 26.

Jaqard continues to fight the horned feline.

Flurry (1): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32
slashing: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (1, 7) + 6 = 14

Flurry (2): 1d20 + 17 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 17 - 4 = 18
slashing: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (3, 8) + 6 = 17

If either hits and deals damage, the target must succeed at a DC 22 Fortitude save or be stunned 1 (stunned 3 on a crit fail). This is an incapacitation effect.

If both hit, combine their damage for the purpose of resistances and weaknesses.

Tiger claw: 1d20 + 17 - 8 ⇒ (18) + 17 - 8 = 27
slashing: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (7, 1) + 6 = 14

Flurry of Blows ◈, Strike, spoilered 3rd action.

I missed Talos was up

Talos twirls his rapier. So many eyes to poke this into!

Dread Marshal Stance, DC 24: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37 => Stance is a 20' aura.

Acrobatics (E): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28

The good doctor prances across the slippery ridges and stabs the creature in the eye.

+1 Striking Silver Rapier vs FF: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24
P, Marshal BS: 2d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 3) + 6 + 2 = 17
Sneak: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7
Deadly: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Jaqard's first and third strikes hit the beast, but still it does not drop. He tries for a final attack, and that also misses.

Talos then moves up and manages to strike the beast, leaving a large carcass.

”One downs!!!!”
Iarann is/are up.
Buffs/Adjustments: Difficult Terrain!

Able to reach just fine from where he is now, Iarann gives a deep belly laugh as he swings his axe down just left of the good doctor's shoulder:

ATK 1 v. 2: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21 WIFF
ATK 2 v. 2: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31 for DMG: 2d12 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 7 + 2 = 15
ATK 3 v. 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 WIFF

Iarann hits the young one once.
The calmed one walks away.

Y1 moves up, with another yearling in the way.

”One downs!!!!”
Brynn, Bair, Nina is/are up.
Buffs/Adjustments: Difficult Terrain!


Round to progress 2022-01-31 1200 CST (UTC-6)

Action 1: Leap
Action 2-3: Electric Arc

Brynn once more leaps forward, avoiding the rocky terrain as best she can. The druid balls her fists as she chants, drawing forth electric currents that she hurls at the two yearlings. ”Back, young ones! We are not your prey.”

Electric Arc vs Y1/Y2 (DC 26 Reflex): 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4, 1, 4) + 4 = 17

Meanwhile, Sprig stands around and makes hooting noises.

Y1 DC26: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
Y2 DC26: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Neither of the yearlings manage to dodge out of the way of Brynn's lightning.

I’ll try to post in 3-4 hrs but if I’m holding things up, bot please. Rage, attack cats, move as needed, demoralize instead of 3rd strike. AoO when available.

Nina sustains calm emotions ◆ and tries to move forward ◆.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

Crit success = full speed?

"Andoletta asifiwe!"

◆ Angelic Halo

Bair Rages steps and strikes Y2!

+1 Striking Cold Iron Meteor Hammer: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29
Bludgeoning/Cold Iron + W.S.: 2d8 + 4 + 2 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 7) + 4 + 2 + 6 + 2 = 23

Yes, crit success means full speed

Techically, Bair has to Stride, not Step.
Also, Bair had his "sharp blade" out, which as far as I can tell is his wounding halberd
halberd damage, P: 2d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (10, 7) + 4 + 2 = 23 Ok, exactly the same

Bair hits the yearling with a nearly perfect strike, and it goes down!

Yearling #3 comes around the corner, and spots the defenseless Sprig!
It pounces on the leshy! It misses.
antler vs AC26?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Yearling #4 also comes around the corner from behind, and does the same, including the miss!
antler vs AC26?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

”Flanking Manuever!!!”
Dr. Talos, Jaqard, Iarann is/are up.

Round to progress 2022-01-31 1200 CST (UTC-6)

Intimidation (M): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26 Dread Striker; if it's frightened it's flat-footed.

Acrobatics (E): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28

Talos stares at the Yearling as he prances across the ice, his frozen grin getting closer and closer…

+1 Striking Silver Rapier: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31
P: 2d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 6 + 2 = 14
Sneak: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12
Deadly: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 12 + 1 = 24 Iarann makes his way towards the creature plugging up the hall. "INCOMING!" His sonorous voice made more impressive by his size. With a single swipe he brings his axe down:

ATK 1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35 for DMG: 2d12 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (9, 10) + 7 + 2 = 28

Third action depends on the results of the second.

Adding second roll per slack. Turn stands as it is on the map.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 1 = 31

Talos glares at the yearling, causing it to lose its countenance. He then stabs it in the face, killing it cleanly.

Iarann then moves up, and chops into a yearling, cutting it in half.

Waiting on Jaqard

Jaqard moves in front of Iarann...

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24

...and flurries on Y4.

Flurry (1): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30
slashing: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 3) + 6 = 17

Flurry (2): 1d20 + 17 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 17 - 4 = 18
slashing: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (7, 3) + 6 = 16

If either hits and deals damage, the target must succeed at a DC 22 Fortitude save or be stunned 1 (stunned 3 on a crit fail). This is an incapacitation effect.

If both hit, combine their damage for the purpose of resistances and weaknesses.

Stride x2, Flurry of Blows ◈.

Jaqard acrobatics #2: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23
fort DC22: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

The yearling is stunned for a moment from Jaqard's strike, and just as quickly shakes it off.

The remaining adult just roots around for a moment, seemingly very calm.

"Brynn! The big deer doesn't like me. Why doesn't it like me?" Sprig says, confused by what's going on.

Brynn leaps back, landing just behind Iarann. "I don't know, but hang tight! Help is coming!"
Long Jump for 20ft. Assurance on Athletics for 22, with Quick Jump and Powerful Leap helping

She then releases an arc of electricity to strike out at the yearling.
Electric Arc vs Y4, DC 26 Reflex: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 3) + 4 = 13

Nina sustains calm emotions ◆ and tries to move ◆.

It takes two separate moves, but Jaqard makes his way to the side opposite Dr. Talos. I shall seek to help make your work easier, as the honeybee and flower work in harmony, he says before flurrying on the yearling.

Talos moves and stabs the poor defenseless animal. It cries out in pain.

I'm going to wait to see how close people can get before acting - I'm deciding whether to sustain calm emotions.

Bair sees the big ally lumbering past him, "Hey, wasn'tya smallah? Where ya goin?"

He tries to follow.

Acrobatics (E) + Bracelets: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 14 + 1 = 19 Stabilize Balance

Talos, Jaqard, and Iarann should go, too. Forgot to drop the very dead Y4 out of the order.

Action 1: Long Jump
Action 2: Long Jump
Action 3: Long Jump

Grinning as she watches Iarann take a page from her book, the half-elf begins leaping east to close with the remaining animal. "I wish we didn't need to slay this beast. Or any of them. If only we had a chance to calm them without the use of magic. A thing I could have done."
