Outpost V - GM Valen's PFS 0-17 Perils of the Pirate Pact (Inactive)

Game Master Lysle

Lauranna stomps amid the raining arrows, her back turned to the battle berating the crew. "And another thing! I won the initiative. I got to go first! Do you know how rare that is for clerics!? Do you!? It's our dump stat! Speed and clerics go together like Blarg and exfoliation! These guys are all low end fighters or rogues! They don't have any will power resist magic with! Pardon my Kellish, but Nine Hells! They barely have a boat!"

She slings her huge bludgeon on her shoulder and moves up to the boat's wheel to survey the battlefield.

"And where the heck is this tub's crew anyhow!? On a smoke break!?"

Jaakko jumps to the pirate ship and tries to disarm the green archer, but fails.

Disarm: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9
"Дастҳоятонро гузоред! Мо аллакай ғолиб шудем ва агар шумо таслим шавед, ҷони шуморо раҳо хоҳем кард." he shouts confidently

As Lauranna climbs wheelward, Jaako decidedly does not disarm, but insists on insulting in Infernal. He receives only a look of confusion from the thug.

The boats continue to drift apart.

One of the former archers (black) calls out to her archer ally, "Draw your blade, Needra!"
Delay

The archer (green) complies, dropping her bow to the ground and drawing a scimitar. Needra then lunges at the new boarder, Jaako.

Zzorn rushes another thug into the water.

The most injured thug still conscious attempts to climb up the boat.

Apologies for the (latest) hiatus:

Despite Koani's protestations, Sirius figures, why leave a job half-done when there might be an even greater reward for taking down a pirate-ship? Besides, it's a bit late for honor among thieves; they already shot him!

He breaks out his starkly handsome new shortbow and takes a potshot at the most vulnerable target: That poor yutz swinging off the Waverender's aft-side....

"HOLD ON!!"

Lauranna tries to steer.
Give me a Profession (sailor) check or Nature check if you want to actually try to get the ship to move.

Jaako slices one of the thugs (green).

Sirius puts a shot into another (blue) and the woman sinks beneath the waves.

The boat drifts further apart.

A former archer (green) lunges at Jaako.

Sirius sets his bow back aside and casually lounges against the starboard gunwale, while idly toying with a large mass of rope....

"DON'T WORRY, ZZORN! I'LL SAVE YOU!"

She spins the spinny-thing in the direction of the other boat.

Driskarr retrieves his hemp rope, and prepares to hoist his Allies on the ship if/when they attempt to come back. Zzorn, Jaako, we moving I got rope here for you when you're ready! For some reason it's not letting me move my character on the slide? Can someone move me to the center of the ship on the edge please?

Zzorn sees that Jaako needs no help and thus heads back to the ship's bow to deal with the red archer.

The woman (red) is knocked far back and knocked far senseless, she is unconscious before she hits the water.

Given that we have a deadline for completion, this first fight has gone on for 7 rounds, and as the Pathfinders' victory is inevitable, I am calling this fight.

The woman in the water [ooc](black) finds her efforts to board the Scrag Fisher thwarted by Sirus, who sends her back into the water. Lauranna gets the boat only to lurch, but it is enough to slam the hull against the woman and send her under the waves for good.

As the last remaining foe (green) contemplates her moves, a trio of magical bolts of force strike the woman down. She is dead before she strikes the steps and cascades down them to the deck.

Looking to the source of the bolts, it is evident that they came from a wand of magic missile clutched by Lady Riverbane. The woman had climbed to a vantage point on the mast form which to observe the skirmish.

"I see that me crew and I were wise to leave the fighting to the heroic
Pathfinders,” she says as she climbs down to the deck. "Given your reputation, I saw no need to intervene and finishing off these bandits was clearly within your means."

"Now, if you are all down here, let's get underway," she says matter-of-factly.

The other ship where Zzorn is, the Waverender proves to be in an advanced state of disrepair and is of little to no value. Repairs to get it into "ship shape" would be costly and time-consuming.

Once all the Pathfinders are back aboard, the Scrag Fisher sails on after the altercation with the river thugs and does not come across any other aggressive boats prior to nightfall.

The next morning, low gray clouds smear the sky, and by midday tall trees leaning over the riverbank further obstruct the pale sun. A gloomy mood falls on the pirate crew as the ship enters Echo Wood. A mere hour before dusk, the sailors’ misgivings crystallize when the expedition comes across a barge trapped in giant web. The wind seems to come to a dead still as the Scrag Fisher approaches the wreckage of a hulking river barge.

“It’s the Hanspur’s Luck, Milady—or what’s left of it,” grumbles one of the pirates. Like a large bee stuck in a spider’s web, the partially sunken boat bulges out of a mesh of sticky tangles, its deck slightly sloping abaft.

Slowly turning the wheel, Lady Riverbane orders her ship toward the ensnarled derelict, and a minute later the Scrag Fisher’s moorings are secured to the Hanspur’s Luck.

The captain turns around and says, “Here we are mates. That looks like a good place to start your investigation, wouldn’t you say?”

"Oops! That's my bad!"

Lauranna hands control back over to "Lt. Riverbank. Keep her steady. Easy as she goes. Second star to the right and straight ahead until daybreak. I'll be below napping. Whew! That felt like it took weeks!"

Zzorn takes 10 on the Waverender for Perception 21

"Lady Riverbane! found some interesting charts here on the Waverender. Take a look..." says Zzorn, handing over the documents. "I'm no sailor, but maybe this'll help us avoid running aground on a sandbank and ensure a smoother passage upriver..."

=============================

The next morning

Zzorn performs his exercises on the upper deck and breaks his fast with nuts, berries, and any eggs or meats offered by Lady Riverbane's cook. As they get closer to the barge he readies his buckler and falchion, and checks the straps on his backpack, bandolier and belt. He nods at Lady Riverbane's suggestion and jumps on the barge's deck, beginning his inspection.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Once aboard the bulky vessel, you find that the top deck of the Hanspur's Luck holds nothing of interest.

The path to the hatchway and staircase leading inside the ship is covered in thick webbing. Cutting your way through, you are able to reach the hold, which is entirely dark.
Please indicate any light sources used.

The aft section of the ship is partially under water (up to 3 feet at the deepest end) and the entire hold is littered with broken crates, bags, and barrels.

Zzorn spots several large creatures in the hold.
Please do not click on these pictures if you have a fear of spiders.

If you have a fear of spiders (or simply would prefer that I reskin them as other creatures), please let me know ASAP via post or PM and I will change the images/creatures to accommodate.

Map of hold now on Slides (again, please do not look if you are adverse to images of spiders).

One of the creatures (green) spits a glob of sticky fluid at Zzorn!
Ranged (web) v Zzorn touch, range x2: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 3 - 4 = 12

The goo covers the Pathfinder.
Zzorn is entangled. An entangled creature can escape with a successful Escape Artist check or burst the web with a Strength check. Both are standard actions with a DC 12. Attempts to burst a web by those caught in it take a –4 penalty.

Another (red) attempts the same on Blarg.

Lauranna let's people worry about their hp still angry about the fight, but by the end of the day she uses her channels heal folks up to full(ish).

After battle Jaakko has a very brief moment of confusion and he addresses rest of the party. "I apologize to all of you not informing about my condition. For several months now, I have been unable to understand or speak anything else than Infernal in combat situations. In my opinion this is likely Cayden's blessing, or should I say 'curse'. But we should probably agree on strategy before going to fight so we don't interrupt our spellcasters."

Am I to understand the big black one behind us is actually under the stairs, ergo can neither reach nor be reached by us (or perhaps it's one-way access either way)?

The captain turns around and says, “Here we are mates. That looks like a good place to start your investigation, wouldn’t you say?”

"Well no actually. Most of the time they start in an indistinct office or meeting room with a Venture-Captain and a bunch of strangers. But when out on the ocean do as the Oceanians, I guess."

Lauranna casts a simple light spell upon her huge smiley faced maul.

After battle Jaakko has a very brief moment of confusion and he addresses rest of the party. "I apologize to all of you not informing about my condition.

"Oh wow! I wish I could speak in tongues. Chaldira just gave me his big mace that I kinda swing in combat situations."

She stops and ponders a strategy "I had a Society friend in the Murder Hobo faction who once told me the I should just 'go in and kill 'em 'til they're dead.' That always seems to work."

She casts bull's strength on herself.

Lauranna gets stronger to get a killin'.

Am I to understand the big black one behind us is actually under the stairs, ergo can neither reach nor be reached by us (or perhaps it's one-way access either way)?

It is under the stairs, which means it can't reach you nor can it be reached, although you may be able to make a ranged attack through the rungs of the steps with considerable cover.

The Pathfinder leaps from the steps at one of the spiders-of-unusual-size (red). The enormous arachnid reaches out a pair of its legs as if to snag the Pathfinder as he sails by, but he slices through the two legs with his kukri, then slashes at the monster's venom sacks.

Instinctively, the spider attempts to bite at its attacker.
Spider (red), Melee (bite) v Sirius: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

But its injuries make it challenging to connect.

Lauranna prays for space or sanctuary as it turns out.

"Excuse me! Excuse me! I'm trying to get through here. Geez." says Lauranna moving through the cramped space, trying to find somewhere she can get some swinging room.

Not sure if the webs are decoration or obstructions, but Lauranna will find out soon enough I expect. ;)

Koani fights off the poison and frees herself from the web.

The entire area of the squares containing webs is considered difficult terrain. Anyone moving through the webs must make a DC 12 combat maneuver check or Escape Artist check as part of their move action. Creatures that fail lose their movement and become grappled in the first square of webbing that they enter. If you have at least 5 feet of web between you and an opponent, it provides cover. If you have at least 20 feet of web between you, it provides total cover.

Sirius looks above him and suddenly remembers why he doesn't normally do 'daring heroics' like he just did.

Now, I take it their reach is no better than ours, despite their size? If so...:

There's not much help for it now, though.

In for a dirham, in for a dinar!, he thinks as he boldly ducks and weaves his way to the next most accessible adversary, swiftly administering a mean jab to the eye - of course, it has too many of those for that to impede its vision much, but the move is quite painful!

Sorry Sirius your character wasn't moved on the map, so if your previous spot is vacant, GM I'll summon the Ant in Sirius's old spot.

Now, I take it their reach is no better than ours, despite their size? If so...:

I'm ruling they have no greater reach due to size, primarily as it is a bite attack rather than legs. As this is a season 0 scenario, the stats had to be derived from Pathfinder rules and a template, so I suppose I could go either way.
