GM 7thGate's Port Godless (Inactive)

Game Master 7thGate

Guards 1, 2, 3, 8 and 10 are on the ground level. The rest are up on the walls.

And yup, surpirse round, so 1 standard action for each person.

Gotta sleep, but will play by turn early in the morning (US Central).

Change my move and go near of the guards on the floor.

Apologies for that last post last night. I thought for sure I was leaving it in Discussion, not Gameplay. Please delete if you can, GM. I'm now wincing that I didn't have Donahan consume Ant Haul potion prior to this. Lesson learned.

Alain (in his surprise round standard action) mounts up onto Donahan.

Botting Rogjameda

Rogjameda casts Mirror Image on herself, Multiple images springing to life.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

One of the two guards by the clerk steps up to meet Airon, swinging his Halberd in a vicious strike that is barely deflected by Airon's armor.

Metalwhiz is up!

Thanks for botting. I made my actions clear and not offensive to make this easier. Current AC=23

number of Mirror Images: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

RogjamedA sends a short pray My Lord! Watch this as charitable things soon occure here.

Metalwhiz begins his Raging Song and as a free action draws his Greatclub.

5' step, done

Inspired Rage (Su) At 1st level, affected allies gain a +2 morale bonus to Strength and Constitution and a +1 morale bonus on Will saving throws, but also take a –1 penalty to AC. While under the effects of inspired rage, allies other than the skald cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or any ability that requires patience or concentration.

I should have checked on this earlier, but does anyone want to reject the raging song?

Halberd, Charge: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 2 = 18

The other guard charges at Airon and swipes with his Halberd, which goes wide.

The clerk flinches, then opens one of the doors to the main room and steps inside.

-Stop the running clerk! - hisses RogjamedA

On it! Patros says as he runs after the clerk. He gets right behind him.

Save your breath...you're not going anywhere... he says when he gets there. He prepares to fend off any attacks the two guards might make.

parry1: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23
parry2: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32

i have enough movement to avoid the halberds' reach...so making two parries...cant riposte...they are reach weapons..

Donahan's hooves race off in full gallop towards Guard 8, with Alain brandishing his lance charging right for the hapless guard.

Lance, Cavalier's Charge, Banner: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30
Lance damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Regarding the banner, I forgot to mention it would be strapped to Donahan, as optioned on my sheet. Apologies for not mentioning that unless its obvious to those of you who've played with Cavs before. If it's something I needed to declare ahead of time, just dock off +1 morale bonus. If valid, all party members within 60ft of me gain a +2 morale bonus on saves against fear and a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls.

Banner is good to be strapped to Donovan, though reading it I think the morale attack boost is only if you're charging, so everyone keep that in mind for your attack rolls. Lances do double damage on a charge and he does triple due to Spirited Charge, so that will hit 3d8+24.

Extra Charge Damage: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (8, 5) + 16 = 29

Alain gallops down the gate guard who brought you all into the courtyard, expertly running him through with a lance.

Patros chases down the Clerk as he tries to escape through the doors.

Interestingly, Halberds don't have reach! I thought for sure they did since they're polearms, but I looked it up before the fight to double check the weapon properties and they've just got Brace and Trip.

Airon is up!

I should have checked on this earlier, but does anyone want to reject the raging song?

Since Yanda is dex based, and there are no rage powers to benefit from, she will reject.

oh yeah.. no rage for me either...Dex based...rolling a riposte if attacked

riposte: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 171d8 + 7 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 7 = 16

Botting Airon; assuming he takes the effects of his rage from raging song.

Attack, Raging Song: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 = 18
Damage: 2d6 + 10 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 5) + 10 + (3) = 22

Attack, Raging Song: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 2 = 15
Damage: 2d6 + 10 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 6) + 10 + (5) = 23

Seeing two guards attacking, Airon takes a mighty sweep, crumpling one guard and clipping off the other's armor before stepping to the side.

Crossbow, Alain: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Crossbow, Alain: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Two guards shoot crossbow bolts at Alain, one missing completely and one deflecting off his armor.

Crossbow, Donovan: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Another guard opens a door on the wall and steps out, taking a shot at Donovan which goes wide.

The other guard at the gate moves to the alarm bell and begins to ring it loudly.

The local law enforcement will definitely notice this; you're now on a clock before they arrive and arrest everyone.

Rogjameda and Yanda are up!

Tiny RogjamedA follows the clerk and as far as she sses him at least partially, her rat-skull amulets eyes glow with green and produce some vapors to tear apart spirit of the target.

Purge Spirit, DC 21 Will to half dmg and avoid Staggered for 1 round: 6d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 6, 4, 4) = 22

Yanda flies over to land on the roof where the clerk is fleeing and causally drops a confusion bomb on him.

+13/3d6+7, 10 splash bomb [rng: 20 ft; 20/x2*; fire] {+6[BAB] +5[dex] +1[throw anything] +1[pblank] /3d6 +6[int] +1[pblank}

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

The clerk screams as his is attacked, but he stays standing and looks ready to run.

Since he stepped inside the building, you need to be over the door at least if you want to get line of sight on him from the roof; if you're next to the door, you should be able to lean over and throw a bomb down. I'll move you over one square.

The clerk continues screaming briefly as the bomb explodes, before he crumples to the ground.

The guard on the wall over the gate takes a shot at Yanda.

Crossbow, Yanda: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
The crossbow bolt is actually a good shot, but harmlessly deflects off Yanda's toughened skin.

Looking furious, yet focused, Metalwhiz launches a powerful attack.

Silver Banded Greatclub, Power Attack, Furious Focus, Flank, Vital Strike, with Raging Song

Att: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27 for damage: 4d8 + 17 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 4) + 17 = 29

Metalwhiz smashes the guard into the ground, where he lies still.

Crossbow, Rogjameda: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Crossbow, Rogjameda: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Sorry, I made my post yesterday, and I made a critical and another hit with cleave ... but perhaps I don`t save muy post.

You posted it in Discussion thread

Ah, oops. Sorry I missed it there. Well, at least it wasn't too far off. In any case, you're up again.

Patros sees the clerk fall to the ground.

nice shot...guess the guards require my attention then... he says with a smile as he moves to the bottom of the stairs and goads the guard in front of him.

Come get me, coward!

readied: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 221d8 + 8 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 7 = 20

readying an attack when he gets in contact...

Alain will drops his lance to the ground and pulls out his longbow to fire on Guard 7. Donahan (his actual name) will Guard that spot, especially the doorway to the east.

(free, move, standard, free/trick)

mwk composite longbow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
longbow damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Going to have Airon delay, since there aren't obvious enemies in melee to go after.

Alain's arrow deflects harmlessly off the guard's armor, while Donahan guards the path towards the gate. Airon waits for the right moment to make his move.

Guard 7: The guard frantically reloads his crossbow, getting an arrow nocked in place.

Guard 5: The guard near Patros drops his crossbow and moves to the top of the stairs, drawing his halberd to take up a blocking position.

Guard 10: The guard by the gate continues to ring the alarm bell loudly and begins yelling. "Intruders! Intruders!"

Guard 11: The guard up on the wall reloads his crossbow.

Airon, Rogjameda and Yanda are up!

Hearing the bell and crys about intruders, RogjamedA curses and suggest hissong: - everyone, get inside where the clerk run in. Can someone create fog or otherwise conseal us?

The occultist in a size of large rat currently, approaches to one of the fallen guards cut down by Airon.

-Wake up my darling, Dead Wife calling you to live on! - RogjamedA whispers stepping at the body. Her rat-skull amulet eye holes shine with greenish power and the same shine for a several seconds shine from opened eye of fallen guard. Thereafter he starts moving following will of the necro occultist and slowly stands up still covered with blood and injures.

- This one at other side now - adds Rogjameda to prevent allies from destroying her servant.

Yanda glides to the south and lobs an incendiary grenade at the guard on the wall to her southeast.

+13/5d6+7, 11 splash bomb [rng: 20 ft; 20/x2; fire] {+6[BAB] +5[dex] +1[throw anything] +1[pblank] /5d6 +6[int] +1[pblank}

Airon follows the suggestion of the ratfolk and move.
While he is moving, takes his javalin and throws to the nearest guard.

javalin: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 161d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
I am not sure of the way followed by the clerk, I follow my partners

I actually can't seem to find the rule on when, exactly, "each round" effects are supposed to apply. It looks plausible that it could be immediately and then again at the same time each round, so I'll go with that.

Rogjameda, were you raising a skeleton or a zombie? It sounds like maybe zombie from your description but you can raise either. Go ahead and place a token for it where you want.

Burning Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Guard 4: The guard bursts into flame, and screams briefly before collapsing.

Guard 9: The guard on the wall reloads his crossbow.

Airon flings a javelin at the guard, but it deflects off his armor.

Continue song, 8/11

Metalwhiz moves and opens the door.

This expansive hall is where the trade house’s leaders entertain their most important guests and hold auctions on the hottest days. At the south end of the room stands a 5-foot-tall stone podium bearing a desk, chair, and gavel. A long rug covers the floor. On the table at the far end of the hall, there is a black candle burning with an intense, black flame.

Guard 6: The guard on the wall reloads his crossbow.

An unearthly roar echoes through the compound, coming from the northern building next to Alain.

Patros, Alain and Donahan are up!

Are the visible slaves chained up to the platform they're sitting? Do they react to the roar with recognition of what it is?

The slaves are chained together, but not to the platform. They started cowering when the fighting began, and continue to do so while looking fearfully at the sound.

Alain will draw his bow again, firing at Guard 7. Meanwhile, he shouts out to the terrified group of slaves in an attempt up convince them to get out of the way, "Slaves you shall no longer be for this is your day of liberation! Get up and take cover behind that fountain and stick with my colleagues!"

compodite longbow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Worth a try!

The slaves start at Alain's address, then look at each other, then the building where the roar came from. They begin shuffling as quickly as they can down off the platform and across towards the pathfinders.

Alain's arrow deflects harmlessly off the guard's armor with a loud metallic *twang*.

Patros is up.

-Everyone get inside! - hisses RogjamedA to teammates and probably to slaves, pointing the opened door builing where clerk run. She do not like the sound too...

go...go...go! get inside! I'll hold them off.... Patros says as he waves the slaves towards the door. He readies to fend off whatever made the noise, should it get there.

just i case something gets in contact..will roll an attack and a parry riposte...but i'm not holding my breath...

Guard 5: With his companion down and no longer in need of guarding, the guard with the halberd follows Patros down the stairs.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Guard 7: The guard on the wall throws himself prone to reduce his target size, then takes aim at Alain with his crossbow. The bolt skips off Alain's armor harmlessly.

Guard 10: The guard by the front gate continues to vigorously ring the alarm and call out. "Intruders! Intruders!"

Guard 11:
The guard on the wall pulls out an oil and rubs it into his crossbow.

Guard 12: A door opens leading to the top of the wall with the two guards, and another guard with a crossbow peeks around the corner.

Assuming he survives Yanda’s turn, I’m going to have guard 9 delay to get into the same initiative group with guard 6; its very unlikely to make much of a difference, and it smooths the logistics some to get more of the PCs together.

Airon, Rogjameda, Metalwhiz and Yanda are up!

Which one is the one sounding the alarm?

Guard 10, the one in the first courtyard inside the front gate.

Drop song, it lingers for 2 rounds.

Metalwhiz moves towards the slaves and readies to sunder their chains as close to the middle as possible, in hopes of speeding them up.

Do we know where the clerk went?

Airon charges against the guard nearest to Yanda.

attack charge PowerAt song: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 193d6 + 14 ⇒ (3, 6, 3) + 14 = 26

Yanda zips over by the guard sounding the alarm and plasters him with an acid flask, forgoing her usual bomb.

+15/1d6+7, 8 splash acid flask [rng: 10 ft; 20/x2; acid] {+6[BAB] +5[dex] +1[throw anything] +1[pblank] +2[mutagen]/1d6 +6[int] +1[pblank]}

-You, my darling go and stop this bells sound!
Zombie-guard follows mastress command and walks towards the wall. RogjamedA asks fellows not to harm her servants as these are their last minutes in here among living and last chance to do right things...

- Get inside! hear this howl-roars sound? Fall back! After me! ... and still pretty tiny Rogjameda gets inside the building just to find ther clerk's body and immidiately revives another Servante and whispers him:

-And you, my sweet, give me everything you have in your pockets! - which the still-clerk immidiately obeys.

GM, can you return clerk's avatar please (and maybe provide his inventory?)? Generally you are right - am doing zombies (better version of Human Zombies).To get rid of flesh to make Skeletons- I need additional time for preparations , or just better material - particulary bones.

The clerk went inside the building, but wasn't able to close the doors before Yanda killed him with a bomb.

Airon smashes the guard with a mighty blow! He falls down unmoving.

The guard ringing the bell screams in pain and stops the ringing, but does not fall.

The reanimated clerk jerks up, then opens his pouch and hands over a dagger, a smokestick and a tanglefoot bag.

The slaves shamble forward into the building as quickly as they can, where Metalwhiz is waiting to smite the chain binding them to each other.
Metalwhiz Sunder: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Damage, Power Attack, Raging Song, Furious: 2d8 + 8 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7, 2) + 8 + 9 + 2 + 2 = 30
Metalwhiz strikes the chain, smashing it to pieces. The individual slaves are still manacled, but they are no longer bound together.

Attack Alain: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Guard 6: The other guard on the wall drops to a prone position and takes a shot at Alain, going wide.

Attack Yanda: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
The guard over the gatehouse takes a shot at Yanda, missing her entirely before stepping to the side and opening a door.

Something was not adding up between the current round number and the durations on the spells; I went back through to figure out where I made a mistake, and I both accidentally incremented the round number by 1 more than it should be and had a copy+paste error. I think this should be the correct tracking info. Let me know if anything else looks off. Going to track duration on all minute/level and round/level effects as well as how many rounds have passed since the alarm was raised, anything 10 minutes/level or higher will probably last until the scenario ends at this point.

The clerk went inside the building, but wasn't able to close the doors before Yanda killed him with a bomb.

...
The reanimated clerk jerks up, then opens his pouch and hands over a dagger, a smokestick and a tanglefoot bag.

Rogjameda critically looks at shown posessions.

On the table at the far end of the hall, there is a black candle burning with an intense, black flame.

-This looks interesting - nods RogjamedA seeing candles with black flame.

You know, I kind of thought they would too. I didn't see any mentioned directly, but there are doors that lock around here. Maybe its implied they have keys for them, I'll take another look on my lunch break.
