Outpost V PFS Assault on the Kingdom of the Impossible (CORE) (Inactive)

Game Master Qstor

"I do not know what you are shouting at us, but I do not like it, ok, calm down and sit there!" Elneth menaces back the shouting men when they start shouting at them and taking fighting stance.
Intimidate: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

She is though taken back when Merry asks for help with his wounds "Let me see... I have some bandages in this kit..." she opens a small box and tries to stop the bleeding and heal the man.
Heal: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

"Oh, well... that is stupid... of course, the bosses gave me one of those silly sticks after our last mission" seeing the wounds would not heal with a proper bandage, Elneth takes the easy cheesy wand and applies it to the paladin.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Merry breathes a sigh of relief. Provided the monk-likes do not interrupt.

"Thanks. I owe you one."

Know Local: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

What would Vudrani guys do here?

[dice=Know Local]1d20+6

What would Vudrani guys do here?

you're in Jalmeray which is ruled by Vudrans

the Intimidate check failed. I need a Diplomacy or Bluff to calm them down or we'll go back to combat. Anyone have comprehend languages?

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Seeing the man act angrily, but not attack, Howirk puts up his hands ina feature of peace and deference. "We don't want any problems, just looking for the man downstairs. Go about your business and we'll do the same."

Seeing the man act angrily, but not attack, Howirk puts up his hands ina feature of peace and deference. "We don't want any problems, just looking for the man downstairs. Go about your business and we'll do the same."

RETCON - The agents of the Thakur speak Common AND Vudrani did you want one to come with you? then stay "outside" away from the fake relic?

And it was even fun. We fell into a complete stupor because we don't want to fight and we don't know the language. Well, in the current situation, I would prefer that they just stay here.

Ashtoret nods in agreement and smiles radiantly.

Diplomacy, AID Howirk - auto-check

Corba's head pops up from behind Ashtoret's back. She nods rapidly with a disarming smile on her face.

Aid Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

"Yea, it was nice to meetcha. You sure we gotta go? No time for tea or anything?"

Elneth goes and picks up one of the agents of the Thakur and pushes him against the Vudrani "Can you understand what those ones are saying? Tell them, they are free and can go now."

"We are heading down afterwards"

Elneth goes and picks up one of the agents of the Thakur and pushes him against the Vudrani "Can you understand what those ones are saying? Tell them, they are free and can go now."

The man looks shocked and hurriedly explains what happens. He meekly turns to Elneth and blurts out. "Yes I have! They just want to know why you're intruding on their mediation! They have no love for the bandit lord. The little one did much to ally their fears!"

moving along

assuming you head down the stairs

This large basement room is set up as a workshop. Four
workbenches are covered with odd tools. Three men and one
woman work at the benches, each chained in place by a heavy
iron collar.

Merry saunters down first in line, ready for trouble, or to run.

"Hey guys. Any chance you will just give up?" Merry says this to someone out of sight to the rest of you. Afraid of being flanked he looks for a safe place to move to.

Elneth nods as the man translates "Good, stay here while we talk with your little lord, and do not bother these people in their meditation"

After that, Elneth strolls down after Merry, when he starts to talk and she sees whom else is there down, she draws her axe "What are you doing here enslaving these people? Free them immediately and bring us to your boss."

They ignore Elneth and draw weapons.

"Leave or die now!"

Combat Pathfinders are up!

They ignore Elneth and draw weapons.

"Leave or die now!"

"While we are being direct, I must say that I would prefer a third option," Howirk replies as he casts a spell on the previous speaker (blue?).

Casting daze; DC 15 Will save negates. The spell clouds the mind of a humanoid creature with 4 or fewer Hit Dice so that it takes no actions. Humanoids of 5 or more HD are not affected. A dazed subject is not stunned, so attackers get no special advantage against it.

The halfling then draws his dagger.

I will be glad if someone comes between me and the monk. Ashtoret goes inside and casts a spell. A whirlwind of colored spray flies out of her hands...

Color Spray DC 15 Will vs Red & Blue

The halfling then draws his dagger.

The bandit tries to ward off Howirk's spell.

Color Spray DC 15 Will vs Red & Blue

Steeling themselves, the thugs try to break Ashtoret's spell.

One collapses red

The rest of the party is up!

They ignore Elneth and draw weapons.

"Leave or die now!"

Did the monk draw a weapon, too?

"That's not a very nice thing to say, isn't it?"

Corba is not amused. She moves a bit south and east - and thinks a second about what she knows about the monks.

Knowledge: Local: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Afterwards, she casts a spell on the monk.

Casting daze; DC 15 Will save negates.

Merry moves in on blue and deploys the old one-two sword and shield combo.

To hit scimitar: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

To hit shield spike: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Damage, shield spike, whetstone: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

"Let it be die then, it was your choice" Elneth moves to put herself in between the monk and Ashtoret, attacking with the axe a bit befuddled by all the fuzz the brigands are making.
mwk greataxe: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 211d12 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

HP 13/23 AC 18 TAC 12

Corba tries to daze the monk but Elneth slices the monk in two with her large axe not even a second later. Blood flying everywhere! The chained woman ducks and cowers under one of the large wooden tables.

Seeing the ranger's might, the lone bandit drops his weapon!

This is too much!

"I give up! Zamir is across in the other room! He has a tiger so watch out!" he shouts.

let him surrender? Corgrim is still up.

then we can move forward to the final fight.

"Well done, Elneth, that was a great hit! But you are wounded! Let me help you."

Corba draws her wand of CLW and uses it on Elneth.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 :-D

"There. As good as new."

Merry smiles and tucks his sword away, giving the man a hearty slap on the back.

"Wise choice, my man, wise choice. Tiger, huh? "

OK are you moving forward to the last two rooms?

I say yes.

"Get out of my sight now, go upstairs!" Elneth growls to the surrendering man and watches out his actions.

Then, she smiles back at Corba "A pleasure little friend"

HP 22/23

And seeing her wounds healed, she follows up after Merry "Yes, let's convince this Zamir his business needs a quick change"

"Please wait a few seconds, I want to check something..."

Corba casts a spell, then checks first the dead monk and afterwards the room for anything useful.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

...And I suggest tying them both up! (there's another one dropped from the spray if I didn't miss anything) We'll let them go on the way back when we agree with Zamir. So that they don't stab us in the back if anything.

The Pathfinders move forward as the back door to left opens and Zamir shouts.

"You might have defeated my guards but you will never defeat me! Jumra get them!"

The tiger roars.

Corgrim moves into the room, trying to keep unseen, his bow in hands

Merry is quite determined not to get pounced on by a tiger and moves behind a wall, then gets ready to give it a good smack if and when it rounds the corner.

To hit scimitar, power attack: 1d20 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 - 1 = 12
Damage, power attack, whetstone: 1d6 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 8

Elneth moves to cover in order to avoid the tiger direct pounce attack and readies her axe "The Venture Captain said we need to convince Zamir, isn't it? Nothing about not getting rid of his tigress friend..."

On her covered position, the half-elf raises the axe against the approach of the tiger or any other enemy.
Readied attack: mwk greataxe: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 171d12 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

EDIT:
Elneth looks at Merry and smiles as he seems to be reading her mind, she nods and prepares herself "We do a good team"

Lesson one. If you are not with the Pale Princess, then all that awaits you is eternal darkness. So why delay if it's only a matter of time? Ashtoret calmly enters the room and says all this in a low but somehow toxic voice. At the end she adds a magic formula and gestures and ... Zamir needs a DC 17 Fort or be blinded... forever.

Elenth and Merry wait for their foes to act. Ashtoret casts a spell at the nature priest.

"Ah my eyes! My pet get them!"

He fumbles for and draws his scimitar.

Before the tiger can hit her, Elneth misses the cat as it's near the corner. The beast moves forward and tries to bite her but it's jaws can't hit her armor.

bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Corba hustles into the next room and casts grease right under the tiger. (fall prone, reflex DC 15 negates)

With dagger in hand, Howirk moves cautiously into the room.
Double move

"If you take care of the cat, I can work my magic on our 'friend', Zamir," he urges his allies.

Howirk moves in while Corba conjures magical cooking oil underneath the cat. It tries to dodge the oil. It remains standing.

you can draw as part of your move, so go ahead and attack the blind guy. But remember the mission? POKE

I just want to put my blade on his throat so he might surrender without a fight. Not sure what kind of roll would be needed? (Making an attack roll just to position the blade correctly without doing serious damage

Corgrim passes the tiger before it can react, and dashes into the room.

Once in, he gets his blade ready to be use against the man's throat, and speaks calmly

NL Attack?: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 4 = 17
Nl dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Now, would you be so kind as to let your blade drop? I want to hear that sweet clanging, metallic sound as it hits the ground. And order your tiger to rest. If we can do this without too much blood shed, all the better. Especialy if I can avoid my blood to be shed.

Lesson two. All your loved ones whom you send to fight with Society will fall in battle. It doesn't happen otherwise. That's how it is now with this cat.

5ft step and color spray, DC 15 Will. Only the tiger is in the cone zone.

After teh spell goes off and it is safe to emerge from his hiding place, he moves into a flank with Elneth and strikes the tiger.

To hit scimitar, power attack, flank: 1d20 + 4 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 - 1 + 2 = 19

"Agreed. You are in no position to throw out insults as you and your cat are about to take a beat down. And I say that with no relish. It would be much better if we just talked."

it would be an intimidate check. I'll give you a circumstance bonus since you're holding a blade to his throat

The tiger manages to fight off the spell as Merry cuts into it! It's side is ripped open and it cries out as in pain.

"Rawr"

Elneth is up.

waiting on Intimidate check as well

Elneth defends herself as best as she can from the tiger, but seeing the group is trying to talk, she attempts to calm down the tiger as well "Look, be a good puppy and I will tell my friend at your back to sheath his sword. Everything will be better for everyone"
Wild empathy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Wild empathy has a -4 against magical beasts and takes 1 minute, but I cannot see another situation for this to be of use.

HP 22/23 AC 18 TAC 12 + cover

Initimidate, untrained: 1d20 ⇒ 20 Before bonus

Corgrim's voice is as hard and cold than the steel of his blade against the man's throat

Nice! Dice don't lie )) Moreover, the blade is put to the throat of a blind person and all this happens to the sounds of an animal companion being gradually killed. There is a reason to listen to the threat more closely ))

Elneth defends herself as best as she can from the tiger, but seeing the group is trying to talk, she attempts to calm down the tiger as well "Look, be a good puppy and I will tell my friend at your back to sheath his sword. Everything will be better for everyone"

The tiger growls still in pain, showing it's fangs. It licks the deep cut at it's side. Elneth thinks it's waiting for its master.

[dice=Initimidate, untrained]1d20 Before bonus

Corgrim's voice is as hard and cold than the steel of his blade against the man's throat

"Ack..." cries Zamir he nods his head gently and drops his weapon. "Jumra heal.." The tiger continues licking it's side. His glazed eyes seem to point to the Pathfinders. "You've nearly killed poor Jumra. KILL me why don't you! The Aspis are right. You Pathfinders are nothing but bloody killers!"

what do you do? Pausing combat

You attacked first and didn't even give a chance to talk. And yet we persist in trying to talk to you and not kill you. We are strong, we don't hide it. But we don't want any more to shed. So. Let's calm down and talk in a good way. We will not do any more harm to you or your beautiful tiger. All your guards who voluntarily laid down their weapons are also alive and waiting for you somewhere upstairs. We only want negotiations and friendship.

Diplomacy to Improve Attitude: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

"Talk? Ha you hold a knife at my throat!" Zamir says to Ashtoret.

nice roll. Assists?

"Look, Jumra knows well what is best" Elneth smiles while trying to aid by keeping the tiger away from the fight.
Wild empathy aid: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

"We know you have been disassembling artifacts and smuggling them off the island with the help of the Aspis" the half-elf tries to make her voice heard in the chaos "But if you want to become truly famous to the people of Jalmeray, you cannot keep doing this at the back of the Society. Doing this on the public through the Society channels might bring you less coin but will make you more name and fame in the region, and this can only be achieved by the Pathfinder Society contacts."

"So you chose, you keep smuggling for the Aspis and no one really knows about you, or you work on the open for the Pathfinder and everyone knows of your job"

She points to the wayfinder emblem "Not for anything our symbol is the Open Road"
