◆ Stride ◆ Strike

Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 +2 circumstance bonus to saving throws against death effects, disease, necromancy, and poison effects

Enforcer 571-294 moves wordlessly to the nearest otyug and strikes with a metal fist.

Slam + Boost: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 91d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14

BakBat flat check to use manipulate action: 1d20 ⇒ 8

BakBat is Grabbed and needs to make an athletics or acrobatics chaeck to escape the grab.

Reflex save, ooze: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9
Reflex save, otyugh: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Enforcer 571-294 cannot find a suitable place to hit the otyugh.

The other (green) ooze moves (◆◆◆) closer

Ooze, Green:17

Bold are up!

Kizik, while carefully avoiding the worst of the stench, scrambles up to the corner to get a better look at what's going on. "Yay! Target practice for Kisik. Bang bang. Ha ha!"

Action (◇): Ten Paces - +2 circumstance bonus to your initiative roll
- Action: Interact - Take Hand Cannon in hand
- Action: Step (10 feet)

Action 1 (◆): Strike (Hand Cannon) with RNG2 vs. Otyugh, Yellow

Hand Cannon Strike: 1d20 + 9 - 2 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 2 - 5 = 18
Hand Cannon Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 bludgeoning damage

BOOM! BOOM! Kizik's handcannon reverberates around the sewers as shrapnel becomes embedded in the (yellow) otyugh.

The other otyugh (red) stops trying to batter the barricade down and turns to the Pathfinders! It cannot squeeze past the ooze but gets ready to menace whatever gets near it.

◆ Move
◆ Feint vs yellow with Scoundrel Racket Deception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
When you successfully Feint, the target is flat-footed against melee attacks you attempt against it until the end of your next turn. On a critical success, the target is flat-footed against all melee attacks until the end of your next turn, not just yours.
◆ Strike vs yellow Rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

If I should be attacked, I will use ↺ Nimble Dodge

Lolizette is up!!

Tolobo successfully feints the otyugh and drives his rapier into the repugnant beast.

Lolizette bides her time, looking for an opening.

The (blue) ooze flows forwards ◆◆ Stride x2 and unleashes a ◆ wave of filth 20 foot emanation, Acid damage, DC15 Reflex save, failure gives -10 speed: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Bold are up!

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Schek becomes sickened of the stench caused by the approaching otyugh. He tries retching in an attempt to recover himself.

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

It is effective, he is no more sickened.

He casts a ball of flame toward yellow otyugh.

Spell Attack vs Yellow Otyugh: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Spell Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 fire damage

◆ Retch
◆◆ Cast a Spell, Produce Flame

Schek Nek makes himself sick and recovers quickly. He sends a small fireball at the (yellow) Otyugh which burns it a little.

The Otyugh slaps a tentacle towards Tolobo and another towards 571-294.

◆Tentacle + grab, Tolobo: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 291d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
◆Tentacle + grab, 571-294: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 81d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Tolobo grabbed (and hit for 12 damage), the otyugh tries to ◆ reposition BakBat and Tolobo Athletics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20 placing them behind it and away from their allies.

Initiative, round two:

Ooze, Blue:25 (-7)
Schek Nek 25
Otyugh, Yellow 21 (-19)
Impulse-7 21
BakBat 18 (-10) (Acrobatics to escape pending)
Ooze, Green:17 (DELAYED whilst Lolizette is)
Kizik 16
Otyugh, Red 15
Lolizette 14 (DELAYED)
Tolobo 11 (-12) (Grabbed)

Bold are up!

"Aaaarrgghhh!!!" BakBat screams as he attempts: 1d20 ⇒ 5 to cast burning hands again. He successfully casts it, and, in order to get all three of the monsters in the fire, he will have to catch himself in the flames also.

Burning Hands damage DC 18 Reflex save: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4

Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

"Ouch," BakBat says as he takes three fire damage.

Then, BakBat will attempt to escape the clutches of the beast: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Kizik watches as the otyugh whisks his new friends away. "Uh oh! BakBat and Tolobo go bye bye. Kizik go bang bang!" But first he has to reload. This time he throws in a bunch of knives. As he's reloading, he kicks a loose rock into the water where it makes a splash to draw the otyugh's attention away from him. Regardless of whether his ruse works, he decides to sneak forward a short distance (risking the effects of the stench) to get into better position before firing his gun at the creature. BOOM! "Take that!"

Action 1 (◆): Raconteur's Reload
- Action: Interact - Reload Hand Cannon with Knives (slashing)
- Action: Create a Diversion - vs Otyugh, Yellow

Deception (Create a Diversion): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 vs Otyugh, Yellow Perception DC

Action 2 (◆): Sneak (10 feet) - Stealth +7 vs Perception DC - SECRET

Fortitude vs DC 17: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 Phew!

Action 3 (◆): Strike (Hand Cannon) vs. Otyugh, Yellow

Hand Cannon Strike: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 vs (possibly) Flat-Footed
Hand Cannon Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 slashing damage

I am not impressed by the damage output of a weapon I can only fire about once per turn. Kizik may have to go back to the drawing board after this.

Ref y: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Ref r: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Ref ooze: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17

Everyone gets burned!

But BakBat cannot get free!

Kizik steels himself against the stench, distract the otyugh and embeds some knives in it! It looks badly injured.
You would have critically hit on a 16+9 this round due to flat-footed.

The injury protocol is activated. Configuration and synchronization is used. - the android continues to speak incomprehensible words.

Act Together - ◆ Boost Eidolon

◆ Strike ◆ Strike ◆ Strike

Enforcer 571-294 continues to methodically strike.

nonlethal damage

The Enforcer continues to pound the otyugh, connecting solidly once.

The second (red) otyugh barrels forwards, tripping the spear trap: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 212d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 4) + 6 = 16

◆ Strike vs yellow (probably flat-footed?)
Strike with Rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Tolobo eventually escapes the tentacles of the otyugh and lashes out with his rapier.

The otyugh is still flat-footed to the scoundrel

Sneak attack damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

...and the otyugh collapses to the ground, releasing BakBat.

The (blue) squelches towards the Enforcer ◆ Stride
◆ Pseudopod, bludgeoning + acid: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 91d4 + 2 + 1d4 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (1) = 7

BakBat moves away, and casts Produce Flame: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 at the large opponent.

Fire damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

"Let. Me. Go!" Schek tells the otyugh grabbing as he tries to escape from its hold.

Acrobatics Check to Escape: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Acrobatics Check to Escape: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

He then moves away from the otyugh.

◆ Escape
◆ Escape
◆ Stride

A new target has been detected. Starting to clean up.

All the same - boost and 3 strikes vs blue

Slam + Boost: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 91d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14
Slam + Boost: 1d20 + 7 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 7 - 5 = 191d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13
Slam + Boost: 1d20 + 7 - 10 ⇒ (4) + 7 - 10 = 11d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 = 9

Kizik really doesn't like the look of the Otyugh heading his way. "Uh, oh. Big guy coming!" He quickly scrambles to reload, while simultaneously kicking more chunks of nearby debris to the other side of the sewer hoping to distract the creature. Once his gun is full of knives again, he points and shoots before making a tactical withdrawal.

Action 1 (◆): Raconteur's Reload
- Action: Interact - Reload Hand Cannon with Knives (slashing)

Action 3 (◆): Stride (25 feet)

Ugh! Even with a crit I can't get more than 8 hp of damage? That reeks.

The Enforcer pummels the ooze into a puddle you can have an action back

BakBat burns the second otyugh, causing it to curse in pain.

The otyugh turns back to the Enforcer, still within range of his tentacles and tries to tear it on two!

◆ Tentacle + Grab: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 271d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
◆ Constrict, DC18 fortitude save: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Then he just stepped up to otyug and then it happened...

Tolobo feints an attack against the green Ooze before striking twice.

◆ Feint vs green with Scoundrel Racket Deception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 1) = 12
... and push it five feet into the wall

Between them, the Enforcer and BakBat batter the otyugh into a pulpy mess.

As Lolizette appears to have vanished, the second ooze is going to dissipate...

COMBAT OVER

"Is it safe to come out?"

You hear a voice tentatively call out after a few moments.

Once the last of the bad guys goes down, Kizik hops from foot to foot in nervous excitement as the adrenaline slowly dissipates. "Everybody do good job. Kizik happy you on his team. Kizik sorry he wasn't more help."

Hearing the voice in the distance, Kizik scampers down the hallway to try and find the source. He calls out. "Good guys are here. Bad guys are dead. You can come out."

That's right. The territory has been cleared. Aggressively minded subjects have been eliminated. Come out! We're Pathfinders. You have nothing to be afraid of.

Two kobolds who you assume are Chief Yiddlepode and Trapmaster Tok emerge from behind the barricade.

”Thank you, Pathfinders! We would surely have been eaten if you had not come along!” says the chief.

A young kobold then leads them back around so that another can attempt to treat their wounds.

Shortly thereafter, as the kobolds cheer and poke at the deceased otyughs, Drandle Dreng and Dragonspeaker Engashez arrive from an adjacent tunnel.

”Magnificent job, Pathfinders. I’ll be sure to mention you in my report.” says Dreng.

Whatever the construct was that began this calamity, neither of them can say for certain.

Schek checks if the enemies are gone. The foul smell still lingers though. He approaches the kobolds and introduces himself.

”Schek here. Is there anything we can do to help? Is everyone safe now?”

Trapmaster Tok replies "We will rebuild traps and repurpose the extra tunnels. No idea what did the digging. You have done enough for us. in Draconic the Sewer Dragons will always call you friend, Schek."

You make your way back to the streets of Absalom, ready for your next adventure!

Thanks everyone for playing. I will report and post chronicles in the discussion thread later!
