piercing: 2d10 + 6 ⇒ (10, 6) + 6 = 22

45 on a crit.

Jayma watches as her defenders tear into the remaining Aspis and realizes that the agents don't have much time left on this planet. She decides to husband her magical powers in case they're needed later and instead use one of her utility spells. Stepping forward to be in Makai's blessed energy field, she picks out a nearby rock and flicks her wrist. With a "boulder bashes blackguard," the rock twitches slightly and then accelerates at full force into one of the enemy.

Action 1 (◆): Stride (25 feet)

Actions 2 & 3 (◆◆): Cast a Spell: Telekinetic Projectile [L3] with Bless vs W1

Telekinetic Projectile Attack: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 12 + 1 = 32
Telekinetic Projectile Damage: 3d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 2, 6) + 4 = 18 bludgeoning damage

If a crit, you deal double damage.

Krek rushes over, swinging his scourge overhead as he slides in past the Aspis, "You should learn when to retreat."

+1 Striking Scourge (Non-Lethal) Snagging Strike: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25
Damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 = 7 Flat-footed until the start of my next turn.

◆ Stride
◆ Stride
◆ Snagging Strike

Samantha's terrifying approach and stab nearly runs the agent through!
Krek follows up with a snagging strike the messes up the other agent's balance. The only reply he gits is spit in the face!

Jayma's spell hits with tremendous force!

Makai's healing helps, but she can't nail the swing.

Round 3:
Makai: Heal[b]
Apollo: Go
Jayma: BOOM
Thimble (72/108): Go
Aspis Group W: TBD
Krek: TBD
Samantha: TBD

The small halfling can barely see the enemies through the valiant, and very large, Precious. Apollo shrugs and says, "Let's try frying them instead." He sends forth an arc of electricity at each of the remaining enemies.

Electric Arc vs W1 and W2: 3d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3, 3) + 4 = 12
Basic Reflex DC 22

He then brings up a magical shield.

◆◆ Electric Arc, ◆ Shield

Stuffing flying, Precious steps back for better aim, then starts stabbing clumsily at the flanked W1, then moves on to W2 if his first target falls..

Ghost Touch Striking Lance +1, Rage: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 15 + 1 = 31
P, Raging: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (5, 1) + 10 = 16
Deadly: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Ghost Touch Striking Lance +1, Rage: 1d20 + 15 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 15 - 5 + 1 = 21
P: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (5, 2) + 4 = 11
P, Raging: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (1, 3) + 10 = 14
Deadly: 1d8 ⇒ 6

W1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
W2: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 12 - 2 = 19

Apollo's spell lands firm on both as they howl in pain.

Thimble drives his his lance through the agent's chest, and nearly gets Samantha on the other side! His follow up is almost as deadly.

The agent remaining sees little hope of escape, puts his back to the wall, and tries to stab Makai to death in order to find a path forward:
ATK 1: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27 for DMG: 1d4 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
ATK 1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29 for DMG: 1d4 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

piercing: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 6) + 4 = 16

◆ Step
◆ Demoralize
◆ Snagging Strike

Krek's assault is all it takes! The last remaining agent falls!

Everyone gets a chance to catch their breath.

You can take 10 Minutes to refocus, and if you'd like, stand your ground for the next wave of Aspis agents!

Healing@Makai, DC20: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Heal: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (1, 1) + 10 = 12

Healing@Thimble, DC20: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28

Makai spends the 10 minutes healing herself and Thimble "Ok, I think I can hear them coming. "

10 minutes spent to heal herself and Thimble.

Thank you, Makai!

Precious gets out his cherry-flavored healing juice box and drinks it down.

Elixir of Life (Lesser): 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 5) + 5 = 14

He flexes his tiny muscles. Ready!
104/108

While Makai is tending wounds, Apollo sees that the cleric is still injured. The halfling walks near her and grips his healing staff. He says, "Allow me?" With Makai's blessing, Apollo casts Heal on her.

Heal (2-action, 1st level, from staff): 1d8 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 = 14

While a few teams of Pathfinders subdue the last of the Aspis, Venture-Captain Luna Aldred pants after the exertion of the fight. As she catches her breath, she smiles confidently, her fangs gleaming in the light of her wayfinder.

Her gaze lingers on what can only be the legendary lost city of Raseri Kanton. It looks like the dwarves that lived there merely stepped away for a minute, rather than fled centuries prior. A great temple to Torag stands just past the entrance, and the rest of the city unfolds past it.

“I think we’ve done enough for now,” she says with a chuckle as she moves the unconscious body of an Aspis agent aside. “We need to finish securing the site and ensure there are no more snakes lurking around. As much as I want to start documenting Raseri Kanton, it will have to wait for another day. For now, let us rest and celebrate our victory!”

Congratulations Pathfinders, and I hope you have enjoyed this adventure. A huge THANK YOU! to all the GMs, backup GMs, convention organizers, players, and other volunteers who have made this event possible, especially to the author and development team for the enormous amount of work in producing a multi-table special of this caliber.

Enjoy the remainder of Gameday XI, and may we meet again soon in another Paizo Organized Play adventure.

Table GMs, a reminder to please issue chronicles and submit reporting in a timely manner. You may complete current combat if desired.

Precious un-flexes his muscles. Guess they all ran away. He yells into the darkness: Not very SHIVALROUS!!

Makai keeps on looking into the darkness and waiting "Thanks Apollo, I guess it is over. We did well. I can't wait to explore Raseri Kanton..."

She looks at the massive door

Congratulations and well played everyone! Your Chronicles are ready!
