GM Doug's Fury's Toll (Inactive)

Game Master Doug Hahn

thinking it's a good idea, Dramar duplicates Aurika's idea and casts another electric arc on the pots

electric arc DC 16: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

He then pulls out his clan dagger.

Aurika isn't sure what the heck these animated pots could be.

Pot 1 vs Aurika DC 18: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Pot 2 vs Aurika DC 18: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Pot 1 vs Dramar DC 16: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Pot 2 vs Dramar DC 16: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Zot zot! The handle melts part of the handle off pot one, while pot two avoids the worst of each arc and takes no damage from either attack. You can work out the math now but each pot has Hardness 5 so damage on both was reduced, in some cases to 0.

☼☼☼

Pot 2 bounces over towards Flamel and tries to slam them!

Pot Lid Slam!: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
B: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Pot Lid Slam!: 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 11 - 5 = 23
B: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

The fighter comes away with a couple bruises!

Flamel draws their dueling sword.

Stab pot: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
P: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (7, 5) + 2 = 14 Dobled to 28, -5=23

They crack the cast iron with their strike! They follow through, finding the pot much easier to damage.

Stab pot: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22
P: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 = 9

The cookware clatters to the floor! Destroyed

Pot 1 rolls at Flamel!

Slam: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
B: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
More Slam: 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 11 - 5 = 19

The fighter is struck yet again; the blows are accumulating.

The medium-rare roast lowers its head and charges around your group, attempting to break down the double doors!

Horns: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
B: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

The door splinters, but holds… for now. A guest on the other side of the door yelps.

Haggra takes a look at the roast, and devises the strategy.

+1 striking cold iron spiked chain, Strategem: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
This comes with a free recall knowledge

He then moves in and attacks based on his strategy.

Slashing Magic Cold Iron, Strategem: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 5) + 4 = 10 20 should that have critted.

Devise, move, strike!

Haggra "pre carves" the roast — a large chunk of tender, medium-rare goat leg tumbles off! Crit + weak to Slashing

He knows that this is a medium-rare construct, being created from a cooking creature that's meant to be carved up, it is weak to fire and slashing.

Roast (-25 HP)
➤ Mint (39/39 HP)
➤ Scerzaq (24/24 HP)

Scerzaq rushes to the opposing side of the pot and slashing his shortsword across the cookware. As his blade draws near he releases a small spell across the length of it that seems to create jagged points in the magical force.

Spellstrike: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Shortsword Damage (Slashing): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Gouging Claw Spell Damage (Piercing): 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 1d4 Persistent Bleed on a Crit

◆ Stride
◆◆ Spellstrike

Aurika takes a step away from the roast, only to once more repeat the spell from before. "Electric arc!" she shouts, the magic lashing out at the roast and the remaining pot. Step, Electric Arc
Electric Arc (DC 18 Reflex): 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Scerzaq gives the pot a good whack, but fails to get through its hardness. I think Hardness 5 prevents each part of the spell strike. Let me know if they are totaled together before hardness, though.

Pot: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Roast: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Aurika again melts the handle off the cookware, then adds some scorch marks to the rump of the roast!

Mint draws his guisarms and tries to carve up dinner!

Guisarme (Reach, Trip): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
S: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Hup hup!

Flamel would rather slice up the roast beast, but since the pot is nearby, discretion is probably the better part of valor.

+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
piercing: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (7, 4) + 2 = 13

+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
piercing: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (3, 6) + 2 = 11

Flamel smashes the pot to smithereens with their first strike! Feel free to use the other 2 actions to move, wtc

Flamel moves into tiny Mint's square and misses the roast. They must not be used to sharing space with another creature.

Seeing that dinner is right in front of him, Dramar pulls some arcane magic out and attacks dinner.

clan dagger: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
damage dagger piercing: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
gouging claw slashing: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Dramar's gouging claw slices meat crosswise, going against the grain. Essential for maintaining a tender cut, as everyone knows.

The roast, however, refuses to yield! unable to batter down the door it turns its greasy horns upon Haggra!

Slam!: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
More Slam!: 1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (15) + 10 - 5 = 20
B: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

It then wraps its horns under the hobgoblin's feet and knocks him prone!

Scerzaq steps forward looking for a bit of an opening. "You all that hungry?"

◆ Stride
◆ Shield
◆ Arcane Cascade Stance

Haggra looks at the roast, determining what the most succulent parts would be, so that he could carve them off.

+1 striking cold iron spiked chain, Strategem: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Another free recall knowledge

He nods, licks his lips, realizing that the shanks of would be quite tasty, and strikes!

Slashing Magic Cold Iron, Strategem: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (6, 3) + 4 = 13

"I usually do better against things that I can demoralize. However, I must be hungry." He then tries to slice off a little more.

+1 striking cold iron spiked chain: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 5 = 15
Slashing Magic Cold Iron: 2d8 + 1 ⇒ (1, 7) + 1 = 9

The roast falls… then gets back up again! Ferocity!

Haggra knows those goat horns can Shove.

Everyone but Scerzaq and Haggra are up. So Feroastcious!

Flamel tries to tenderize the meat.

+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
piercing: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (7, 4) + 2 = 13

+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

+1 striking Aldori dueling sword: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
piercing: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (6, 3) + 2 = 11

Strike thrice.

Finally, the medium-rare, extra-tenderized rampaging roast falls!

Danya the cook waddles over and inspects it with a frown. Well… we intended to present the beast in one piece, but now it's "pre-carved." Assistants! She claps her hands. Revocer as much meat as you can!

She looks at you. Thanks. Now please get out: we have a mess to clean up and work to do!

You hear Safa's voice. Hehehe… two down… three to go!

Where to next?

"If I can suggest something practical, let's work our way through the lodge clockwise. That means we check for problems in the dining room, then head for the reading room. The library would be after that, and so on. Make sense?"

Flamel nods. Let's go.

Flamel and Haggra are down.

Mint Healing DC 15: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Mint Healing DC 15: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

The dining room offers a space for lodging Pathfinders to eat during inclement weather. Currently, its two long tables are laden with food and drink. A few visiting merchants linger here in the shade, gossiping among themselves.

The double door leading into the courtyard is open, permitting a steady flow of party guests in and out. You grab some snacks off a charcuterie board and move on, there are more pranks to find!

☼☼☼

You move on. The reading room features comfortable seating and study tables strategically arranged to take maximum advantage of the natural light provided by a wide window. The handful of guests currently occupying this space are embroiled in a lively but frivolous debate over the merits of different horse-training methods.

You hear Safa's giggle from the next set of doors…

Ashwood shelves line the walls of this spacious library, some filled to capacity with Pathfinder Chronicles, Society records, and local history. Other shelves stand half-empty, awaiting future donations and volumes on order from distant lodges. In the far corner, an iron spiral staircase leads to the upper levels. However, the library’s floor, which should be stone covered in fine rugs, instead glows fiery orange and bubbles with a molten heat that radiates through the open double door.

“Thank goodness!” calls a hijabi halfling from her perch atop a large armchair. “Give us a hand, would you? The floor is lava!” You recognize this person as Casira bint Meji, one of the guests you need to impress! Oh no!

There are also two gnome merchants up on the table. They look at the lava with a mix of fascination and trepidation. One of them waves. "Oh, hello! How do we escape this Pathfinder trap? It looks fun, but also rather dangerous!"

☼☼☼

To thwart Safa's trick, you must attempt to get the stranded NPCs from their furniture islands to one of the room’s exits. It's clear to you the floor isn't real lava, but it feels hot enough to burn. The lava fills only this room and stops right at the frame of each door as if held back by an invisible barrier.

____
Creative solutions are allowed. Here are some of the obvious ways you can help:

Aiding Allies: DC 15 using using ropes, pulleys, pushing a leaping PC, etc.

Leaping on Furniture (Acrobatics/Athletics): Leap 10' (2 squares) with a DC 16 check, or 20' (4 squares) with a DC 23.

Carrying NPCs: If you reach a space you can share with an NPC, you can carry them out. You have to make your Leaps, but the DC increases by 3. [ooc]DC 19 for 10' (2 squares) and DC 26 for 20' (4 squares). If you fail this check you can choose to make a DC 15 reflex save to prevent both of you from getting burned.

Assisting NPCs: 12 Athletics or Diplomacy check from no more than 5' away.

Let's move in rounds here for clarity.

"Hup, hup!"

Mint picks up and stranded gnome and leaps ten feet over the lava!

Athletics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

There is a tactical map on slide 1. You need to make a check for each leap. You can get to the gnome with that leap and share her space as you;re tiny, but you then need to make leaps out.

Sorry, I though this was just a skill check!

Mint tries to jump back out!
Athletics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 Oh no!

He manages to keep from getting burned though...
Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Casira looks down at mint, incredulous about the tiny person carrying her. She squeals when the beefy grig does so with ease. Oh my!

However, Mint finds the theight throws off his balance! He braces his legs under them as they tumble to the lava, managing to save Caasira from taking fire damage! Instead, he takes it all himself! Double damage!

Fire to mint: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5 Doubled to 10!

Slightly burnt, he hops back up onto the wobbly chair with his burden.

Be careful, young grig!

Scerzaq makes it to the door and shields himself from the intense heat. The magical shield doesn't do much to stop the heat but it does get the magic flowing through his own body.

◆ Stride
◆ Shield
◆ Arcane Cascade Stance.

With a sigh, Flamel darts into the room, taking a Step and then a Leap up onto the Davenport, then a Leap across to the table.

Greetings and salutations, Flamel says with a flourish. Who wants to go first?

Touched the floor on one square. If Flamel thinks the damage only happens once per round, they will take that into consideration on the next round.

Fire: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5 It's 2d6 fire per square

Flamel's Acrobatics (E): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Inflammable Flamel burns a little as they step into the hot lava! They gracefully make it to the edge of the table.

Hello! say the gnomes. I'm Nashwadin Bousad, and this is Naqi Bousad. They see Flamel's burnt feet. Huh, this really is a bit dangerous isn't it? At least it doesn't seem to be real lava!

Nashwadin looks at Naqi. You first! Naqi looks at Nashwadin. No, you, I insist! Flamel might have to just grab a random gnome.

Bot is appreciated, thanks.

Flamel smirks and turns to Haggra. Ready to catch a gnome or two...?

Haggra looks at Flamel. "Sure? What would you like me to do?"

He moves to get up on the coach, to play relay.
Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Sacrificing a her point here...
Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Thank you, RNG, for your joyful attempts at killing Haggra

Haggra tries to jump across, but the coach seems to throw him off....

Haggra's feet get burned, but he makes it to the couch!

Hot Lava!: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11

If you want to throw a gnome make the same check, but to catch and keep your balance. You can throw a gnome 10 feet without a check.

"Throw, or ferry from table to chair to couch?"

I'll toss to you, you catch and send out of the room. Deal?

Roll in init order

Dramar's Crafting (T): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Aurika's Crafting (T): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Dramar assists Mint, while Aurika assists Mint! The two craftspeople grab white tablecloths from a caterer and fashion them into capes. They might not help you fly like a super hero, but they FEEL like they'll help!

Acrobatics; Skillful Mentor: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 2 = 12
Fire Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

From the doorway Scerzaq leans down and leaps a great distance as his shins hit the edge of the table. Groaning he scrambles to find an edge to hold onto as he slips into the lava a moment before pulling himself back up. "I'm alright." He was not alright as the fur on his feet was scorched away and large purple bruises were beginning to form on his shins.

"You there, climb onto my back." He kneels down for the gnome to begin hanging on tight.

◆ Leap (20')
◆ Climb back up onto the table from falling in the lava
◆ Begin gathering a gnome.

"Hup!"

Carrying Casira, Mint's little wings flutter as he soars off the armchair and onto the orange sofa!

Athletics: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 2 = 28 I think Mint's Grig bonus overrides the other circ bonus.

He then jumps from the sofa and out the door!

Athletics: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 2 = 20

"Ta-da!"

I think that's right...

Scerzaq grabs a gnome!

Mint, on his grasshopper legs, hops out safely!

These are not checks to Long Jump, they are other checks to keep your balance. So your heritage circ bonus doesn't apply but the aid does.

Casira claps her hands. Well young grig, that was a wonder! Oh my!

As soon as someone indicates they're ready to catch, Flamel politely picks up a gnome and tosses them across the heated floor.

Dramar waves his arms

"Toss them here! I've got them."

athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

"I'm ready."

Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

It looks like Flamel is throwing to Haggra, who's then throwing to Dramar. Haggra also got a +2 bonus from the aid.

Haggra is bowled over by the hurled gnome, who pinwheels his arms madly about, as he isn't used to being thrown! Wheeeeeee!

Haggra's Reflex (E): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 +1 vs. the subject of a lead, +1 vs. attacks from traps

The dutiful hobgoblin takes all the fire damage, though.

Fire: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5 Doubled

Then he tosses the gnome to Dramar, who easily catches the gnome!

One to go!

Wooo! Haaaa!

Scerzaq leaps out with the last of the gnomes! Some fleas tumble off his fur and sizzle in the hot lava.

When the ratfolk lands, a disembodied kazoo trills a celebratory refrain and the “lava” bursts into harmless sparks that quickly fade, returning the floor to normal.

--

Casira smiles. You know, I wasn't so sure about you Pathfinders. What an odd trick. I thought you were punishing a historian for trying to have some quiet time reading in your library. She gestures at Haggra's burns, and Flamel's singes. It is clear that this wasn't your doing. You have saved us from the "Floor that is Hot Lava" — at no small cost to yourselves. Thank you. She bows.

It's clear to me that someone is trying to sabotage your soirée. I won't stand for it! You've shown me what you're all about, Pathfinders, an you have my full support. please, take these cards. They may help you punish whoever has disturbed my solace. She hands you a full Cantrip Deck!

Casira is Helpful because you got all the NPCs out without getting burned, sacrificing your own health to do so

Safa's voice titters. You hear Safa's voice. Hehehe… three down… two to go!

Mints bows to Casira in return.

"All in a day's work."

"Now, let's find the other traps!"

Scerzaq drinks one of the Safa's fountain potions as the burning sensation on his balding feet feel a little better. An unfortunate side effect is it seems to strengthen some of the weaker fleas as well.

Fountain Lesser Healing Potion #2: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (3, 1) + 5 = 9

He peeks behind the next door. "Seems the Gallery and Prayer Room are next."

That deck is a pretty neat item

"Glad to help. Pardon me while I drink a few potions."

Fountain lesser healing Potions #3: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (5, 6) + 5 = 16
school consumable minor healing: 1d8 ⇒ 4

"Well, that will do.

"I agree, let us check out the Gallery and then Prayer Room."

Sets these both as leads

Mint and Flamel drink potions from the fountain.

Healing, Mint: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (6, 7) + 5 = 18
Healing, Flamel: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (6, 7) + 5 = 18
