Workfinder: PFS2 3-12 Fury's Toll (Inactive)

Game Master Silbeg

The mushroom, of doom, watches the events with great interest. Especially the inane “entertaining” diddy sung by the Elf….

With Minuet performing, the crowd is distracted! The other Pathfinders can now try to get Khayrat's attention and calm him.

Examples: Arcana or Occultism to help him understand that the illusion isn’t real, Medicine to coach him through a calming breathing exercise, or Diplomacy to help him realize the illogical nature of his perceived. Other solutions are possible.

Camina should Occultism the heck out of this!

Occultism it is.

Camina's Occultism (T): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Camina gets the attention of Khayrat, but it isn't enough. Need at least one more success.

The mushroom, of doom, would help but this is all very amusing.

If Acrobatics or Stealth could be used to either bounce around to gain his attention or sneak up to him and take his hand to pull him away…. I’ll continue to observe

Gratt should Diplomacise! :)

If Acrobatics or Stealth could be used to either bounce around to gain his attention or sneak up to him and take his hand to pull him away…. I’ll continue to observe

Gratt should Diplomacise! :)

He just brushes off, at best, physical attempts to modify his behavior. And, Camina could try again.

Camina tries again.

Camina's Occultism (T): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Gratt attempts to get Khayrat's attention and calmly talk to him about what's happening.

Gratt's Diplomacy (T): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

With Gratt and Camina working together, Khayrat breaks free of the illusion and he then regains his composure. He steps up to the two, "Thank you. I... I was trapped. In those walls that were not walls. I tried to play it off, but my friends...

"Thank you. Now that I am free, please accept a few tokens of my appreciation."

He hands Gratt a ladder feather token and three minor healing potion.

"It is the least that I can do."

Where to next?

Let us move clockwise, to the room to the East helpfully marked as 2 on the map. Unless anyone else has a better idea? Oh, and I suggest the three of you take one each of these potions. I will hold onto the feather for now. Minuet states, as she puts the feather neatly into the braids over her left ear. If this does not seem secure, she will tuck it into the decorations on her waistcoat.

The mushroom, of doom, follows the funny Elf.

In the northwestern corner of this entry hall, an iron spiral staircase coils upward to the higher floors; it's currently roped off with a simple chain, from which dangles a sign reading, “Private Quarters—No Entry.”
All three sets of doors stand open.

We shall save the stairs for later. Let us finish this level first. What is in the next room to the south #4 ?

You make your way over to the next room.

The mouth-watering scent of cooking spices bursts through the opening doors, welcoming newcomers into a kitchen large enough to feed a small army. Fresh baked goods cool on the countertops, and bundles of dried herbs rustle in the breeze left by scattering sous chefs as they scramble away from the huge ovens in the far corner.

There, a whole roast goat that had been cooking steadily over a low fire has leapt from its position, thrashing about as though alive once more. The cook, a dwarf with thick silver hair, lies sprawled on the floor beside it, winded from a kick to the chest.

“It’s making a break for it!” she bellows, pointing at the goat. “Don’t let it get away!”

At the same time, two piles of silverware start swirling around, animated to attack!

How sweet, fresh meat!
Minuet is/are up.
Conditions:
kn: Nature
Saves Pending:

Minuet will attempt to recall knowledge (states recall: Nature, so that's what I'm using). What else I do will depend on the results.

While I'm sure it's a secret check, going to roll it anyway.

Minuet's Nature (T): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

In an attempt to stop the food from running away, I will attempt to cast Tanglefoot at it.

Tanglefoot: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Heightened to 2nd Level
Cast somatic, verbal
Range 30 feet
Targets 1 creature
Ranged Strikes +10 / +5 / +0
Ranged Damage -10 ft circ penalty to Speeds
Ranged Crit Damage
Saving Throw DC 20

Critical Success The target gains the immobilized condition and takes a –10-foot circumstance penalty to its Speeds for 1 round. It can attempt to Escape against your spell DC to remove the penalty and the immobilized condition.
Success The target takes a –10-foot circumstance penalty to its Speeds for 1 round. It can attempt to Escape against your spell DC to remove the penalty.
Failure The target is unaffected.

If you are going to quote a spell, please put it in a quote tag. But, better would just be to link it. See below for example.

Minuet knows that the rampaging roast is mindless construct, not an animal. She believes that it will be immune to many things that constructs are immune to, such as; bleed, death effects, disease, doomed, drained, fatigued, healing, mental, necromancy, nonlethal
attacks, paralyzed, poison, sickened, unconscious. She guesses that they are resistant to bludgeoning damage.

She then casts her Tanglefoot spell, tangling up the Roast.

The two swarms of silverware move out, with pink engulfing Camina, Minuet, and Gratt. First, the whirling silverware slashes at all three.

slashing basic Reflex 17: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Then a fork flings out at 1: Camina, 2: Minuet, 3: Gratt: 1d3 ⇒ 1 Camina must make a DC17 Reflex Save

Then Blue moves over Leaf, slashing, and then trying to impale.

Conditions:
Saves Pending: Minuet, Gratt, Camina DC17 Reflex, Camina DC17 reflex

Minuet's Reflex (T): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

The mushroom, of doom, laughs at the puny silverware attacking it and dodges.

Leaf's Reflex (E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

It nimbly avoids some, if not all, the fork stabbing. It moves two diagonals to avoid any attacks of opportunity from the Roast.

Action 1: Stide to Roast
Action 2/3 : Double Slice

Tekko-kagi: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 201d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4S
Spiked gauntlet : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 171d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3P

Leaf needed 2 saves. he first was the swarm damage, the second was the fork.
reflex dc17: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

He is fine.

Minuet avoids some of the knives slashing at her, which Leaf avoids them all, as well as the fork that tried to pin him to the floor. He then strikes the roast twice, but only carves off a very small amount of the meat.

How sweet, fresh meat!
Gratt, Camina is/are up.
Conditions:
Saves Pending: Gratt, Camina DC17 Reflex, Camina DC17 reflex

As Minuet dodges out of the silverware's way, she calls to her comrades Get out of the silverware swarms. I can get them all if you aren't there.

If this isn't allowed because it's not my turn, then disregard.

No problem talking.

Didn't have that one on my bingo card, Camina mutters.

Camina's Reflex (T): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Camina needs another reflex and her actions

One more time.

Camina's Reflex (T): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

I can't believe I am running from silverware, but here we are..
Camina moves away from the silverwarenado (Action 1) and considers what she has in her arsenal to help the situation. She thinks What the heck and casts Prestidigitation. She slowly lifts the silverware drawer that's been tossed to the ground to see if the irate cutlery wants to go home, or if anyone can put it back there. (Actions 2+3)

Just for my clarification. The swarms are made up of lots of silverware pieces…. That is the first save. Then an individual fork, from the swarm, is attacking as well?? Can we target that fork? Or are the swarms moving into our squares, which causes damage and then one of many utensils is actually attacking? Sorry, I read back and it’s not clear to me.

Gratt's Reflex (T): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

How many forks does this lodge have!?

Gratt takes a Step to the east, out of the cloud of cutlery. Muttering slightly with a slight movement of his hands, a spark lights between the two fogs of forks.

Gratt's Electric Arc damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 DC18 basic Reflex save

Also if both the strikes hit from double slice, the damage is combined and only one resistance is applied. At least how I read it on aon. Unless, of course, it has resistance or hardness of 5, I suppose…gah.

That looks like a fail on the Reflex for Gratt, but he'll only take 3 points of damage (DR 3 physical from Cosmos mystery).

psst, Gratt, if you move one square towards the north, I can miss you with my burning hands

psst, Gratt, if you move one square towards the north, I can miss you with my burning hands

Or Minuet moves to 2 S of Gratt and she can catch both without hitting anyone

Correction... Leaf's attack does a LOT more damage. In fact, the Tekko-kagi carves off a large chunk!

Camina does not dodge the knife that slashes across her cheek, but she does manage to avoid the fork that tries to nail her to the ground. She pulls out the silverware tray, but the silverware does not respond.

Gratt is also slashed by the flying cutlery, and returns the favor with electricity.

pink reflex DC18: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
blue reflex DC18: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

While pink does not avoid any of the electricity, and blue does, neither appear to take as much damage as hoped for.

Apparently Leaf has drawn the attention of the roast, which attempts to butt the mushroom with its horns.

slam vs AC20: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
bludgeoning: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

The strength of the blow knocks Leaf of his feet. It tries again.

slam vs AC18: 1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 5 = 18
bludgeoning: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

It misses, but tries again, missing once more.

slam vs AC18: 1d20 + 10 - 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 - 10 = 14
bludgeoning: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Your food is almost ready!
Minuet is/are up.
Conditions: Leaf: Prone
Saves Pending:

Minuet moves to where she can shoot her Burning Hands and hit both the swarms of cutlery.

Minuet's Burning Hands: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10 Cone of fire, DC 20 reflex save.

Moved minuet where she can cast the spell safely.

reflex blue DC20: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
reflex pink DC20: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Minuet's spell seems pretty effective, but does not drop either.

The blue swarm flies on top of Minuet and Leaf, stabbing them with dozens of pieces of cutlery! Then, another fork tries to impale Leaf! Another DC17 reflex
DC17 Reflex, Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 2
1: Leaf, 2: Minuet: 1d2 ⇒ 1

The pink swarm moves on top of Gratt, stabbing him, and attempting to impale him.

Gratt attempts to dodge the stabbing silverware. Gratt's Reflex (T): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

And the second check: Gratt's Reflex (T): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Note: DR 3 physical, so Gratt still has 23 HP -- before the result of these checks, anyway.

Adjusted, thank you. Can you add that next to your AC on your tagline? Maybe I will remember it...
Gratt avoids some of the damaging silverware, but cannot avoid the fork!
The silverware pins portions of the target’s clothing and gear. The target takes a –10-foot circumstance penalty to its Speeds as long as it remains in the swarm’s space, and the target also can’t Step until it leaves the swarm’s space.

Gratt still has his actions!

So being hit by the roast is simply an auto knockdown attack? No save??

The mushroom, of doom, does not wish to continue being prone and poked by the annoying silverware.

Leaf's Reflex (E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Leaf's Reflex (E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Kinda lost on which save does what... The first Ref save is for the swarm, which I succeeded, so have a -10ft move penalty? The second, Stick a Fork in It, I failed, which I assume does damage...

It attempts to stand up, stride to leave the whirling silverware and take a strike at the Roast.

Action 1: Stand Up
Action 2: Stride
Action 3: Strike Roast

Tekko-kagi: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 131d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5(S)

Swing and miss by the floundering mushroom, of DOOOOM....

Gratt Strides five feet to the north to get out of the cyclone of cutlery, and looks back at the scene, muttering and waving his fingers slightly as a spark lights between the blue swarm and the restless roast.

Gratt's Electric Arc damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 Blue and Roast - DC18 basic Reflex save

It may not be the most effective, but I'm not ready to use a Cursebound spell for this encounter - if either Leaf or Minuet take too much of a beating here, I do have a Heal and a Spirit Link ready to go. I didn't take the chance to distribute the three additional minor healing elixirs out but I think everyone has one.

Yes, it has the knockdown trait on its attack. Much like the Knockdown feat fighters can get. It might need an action, but looks like that was moot.

Swarm save is vs the damage. Stick a Fork in It is the movement.

Leaf stands up, slowly moves out of the swarm, and attacks. His strike goes wide, thrown off by the silverware that has punctured him.

Gratt tries to roast the silverware and the meat. Both take the brunt of the electric blast!

swarm DC18: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
roast DC18: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Conditions: Gratt: -10 movement, cannot Step

Someone could bot for Camina

Camina is making an attempt to slow down the roast with Ray of Frost. Not how she likes roasts in general, but this particular one deserves it. And somehow, she thinks its the instigator.

Camina's Ray of Frost attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 || damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Cast [2 actions] somatic, verbal
Range 120 feet
Targets 1 creature
Ranged Strikes +8 / +3 / -2
Ranged Damage 1d4+4 C
Ranged Crit Damage ×2 +-10 ft status pen to Speeds for 1r
Critical Success The target takes double damage and takes a –10- foot status penalty to its Speeds for 1 round.
Success The target takes normal damage.

The mushroom, of DOOOM, is torn between picking up the parts of the Roast that have been cut off already to munch on or continue slicing portions off for the rest of the group...

Camina casts her spell at the roast, hoping to slow it down. She hits it, but it does not actually slow down.

The roast goes after the mushroom, probably because who doesn't like sauteed mushrooms with their roast?

SLAM vs AC20: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
Bludgeoning: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 Plus Leaf is knocked down

With its final action, it tries to slam into the prone mushroom once more, but it just misses!
SLAM vs AC18: 1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 10 - 5 = 17

Then, the blue silverware swarm finally succumbs to the electricity flowing between it, and all the cutlery collapses to the floor!

Mushrooms and Roast, a Match Made in Heaven!

The mushroom, of DOOOM, does not intend to be served with the Roast..or eaten by the Roast...it looks ready to fight back...

I typed it out a while ago, didn't realize it hadn't gone through.

As it still didn't post, after multiple attempts, I will post it again. It had given me a 25 on the first try, but will go with this one.

Minuet's Reflex (T): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Minuet then attempts to hit both the roast andIt is heightened to 2nd level.

Electric Arc: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 = 8

Saving Throw DC 20 basic Reflex

Critical Success The creature takes no damage.
Success The creature takes half damage.
Failure The creature takes full damage.
Critical Failure The creature takes double damage.

Please do not list out the entire spell, especially the effects when it is a basic save. If you feel the need, please do put it in a spoiler (like I did with "Stick a Fork in It" above). Better would be to link to it like I am doing below... Text in black should all be in character actions.

Minuet avoids some of the silverware's damage, and then casts her electric arc spell. The roast seems particularly seared by the lighting coursing over it, creating a lovely around of the Maillard reaction on the surface of the meat. The electricity also arcs nicely between the flatware before they all drop to the groud.

roast reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Camina is getting exasperated and tries Electric Arc. Somehow, this is has to come down.
