[ACO] PFS2e Speedrun - B09-13, 15-17 (Inactive)

Game Master UncleFroggy

Jig tries to dodge the falling ants.

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 - 1 = 24

Savan tries to quickly brush them off before they can crawl into his fur.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Both Savan and Jig easily avoid the ants dropping from the trees.

Reflex DC 15: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

X-23 opens his hatch, letting the insects fall in to drown for a snack for later. Unfortunately way more fall than he expected and the insects begin to cloud his water,

Piercing vs X-23: 1d6 ⇒ 3

X-23 for some reason decides to have the insects as a snack. However, he doesn't close his hatch fast enough and more insects that he can handle drop into Sentinel and begin biting...

Reflex (T): 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 - 1 = 19

Zarisha swats at the hungry mosquitos.

reflex save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Grammy just hunches her shoulders and tries to endure going through the rain of insects.

Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Grammy takes some bites but soldiers on. Zarisha easily avoids the bugs. Ecmund suddenly looks up from his book and sees X-23 and Grammy flailing at some of the bugs.

"Oh, be careful. Lots of bugs like living close to the trees. Bullet ants in particular can be pretty nasty. Best stay clear of the tree."

Ecmund lets out a cry of delight. He points to a tree with brilliant red berries hanging from the branches. "Ah! Look at those berries! My guidebook says that those have a soft pulpy interior that's sweet! We should gather some for later!"

Nature to RK. One check only

Grammy has the best sot at Nature.

Nature: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Or

Herbalism lore: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Aw. I have Lore (plants), but even accounting for a discounted DC, Granny's Nature still outstrips my Lore.

Grammy rolls her eyes.
"Actually, those berries are toxic unless you put a little druid magic into them. Quite tastey otherwise."

Grammy will cast Goodberry on the berry, converting it into a healthy, nutritious berry that heals 1d6+4 damage, then pops it into his mouth. It also counts as 1/6th of his daily nutritional needs, so one berry should fill him up nicely.

"If anyone else wants one, it'll take a tic for me to coax the magic out of the plant again. Might as well treat those spider bites while I'm at it."

Grammy can attempt a medicine check to heal any of the damage while refocusing to regain her focus point back for another goodberry, if anyone wants to.

Ecmund looks doubtful as he pages through his guidebook, looking for another reference to Grammy in it. Shrugging, he takes the druid's word for it and goes along.

You certainly have 10 minutes to heal if you'd like. Grammy should be back to full. X-23 I think is 3hp short.

medicine on whoever needs it: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Hero point
let’s try that again: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Healing: 2d8 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

Grammy can also make another goodberry if there is another person who is damaged.

"Not too many of those berries, Ecmund. Don't want to make yourself sick." Savan nods further along to keep the group moving.

"Even I knew that," Zarisha asserts.

After getting healed, you hear a cry of alarm from ahead of them followed by a loud feline growl. Rushing forward, you find a bipedal frog-like creature at the mercy of a large panther.

We are not in initiative as this is not a combat encounter

To drive the panther away:
Wild Empathy (DC 15 Diplomacy)
DC 14 Intimidate
Make an attack roll
Successes needed: 3

A sprite suddenly appears in front of you. It glows and speaks:

"I've been sent by the powers that be to inform a certain Zarisha al-Sakawi that she has not completed the insurance form that covers any and all injuries that may occur in the completion of this mission. It's pretty boilerplate stuff and relatively easy to complete. I have the document here with me. Please complete the document before you proceed any further."

Energy beam: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Sentinel raises a metallic arm from within the pack and sends a stream of plasma in front of the panther.

"Shoo!" Zarisha says--whether to the sprite or the panther--and throws one of her shuriken at the panther.

Ranged Strike: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

wild empathy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

"Come now Mr. Panther, We both know that frog is not your typical prey. He's going to give you terrible indegestion. Let's look for some other source of protien, okay? That slimy coating on the frog isn't going to do your stomach any favors."

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Savan raises his musket and fires over the panther's head in a blast of smoke and thunderous sound.

X-23 and Sentinel shoot an energy beam in front of the panther and Zarisha hurls a shuriken at the cat. The cat yowls and bolts.

Grammy identifies the creature as a grippli. The grippli introduces himself as Prembret.

"My! That was a close call. Prembret is who I am. I've been trekking through the Sodden Lands to broaden my horizons."

Art on Slide 3

"I'm afraid I'm near the end of my adventure. My camp was overrun by some leeches that may have been attracted by the experimental reagents I'm using. You see, I'm trying to infuse fruits with special properties. Take this, for example. This peach may look like an ordinary peach, but it's got some alchemical properties in it. I can use it to cure minor ailments and injuries. Sadly, though, all this is at my camp. My journal is also in my camp so I'm pretty much back to my starting point."

At this, Ecmund brightens. "Worry not, my new friend! My companions here are hearty adventurers who could easily best these vermin and get your stuff back! In fact, I'm sure it won't be a problem for them! I'd go with them, but someone's got to stay here and keep you safe. No telling if that cat will come back!"

Ecmund lightly pushes Grammy forward. "See? My druid friend here taught me some new things. I chose her to join my party because she's a major contributor to my guidebook! I'm sure she'll help you!"

Prembret brightens. "Will you really? That's wonderful! Here, I have some items for you. These will help you if you are injured." Prembret hands you three large peaches and gives you directions to his camp.

The peaches function like minor elixirs of life. Map is updated.

Terrain Features:
Water - Difficult Terrain
Crossing Stream - DC 14 Acrobatics: F - No movement, CF - prone
All creatures - -2 penalty to Perception (Visual)
Creatures 100' apart are concealed

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Jig has an urge to sample the fruit right away, but decides it would be better to save it for later.

Instead of dwelling on it, he skips across the nearby stream, leading the way toward the camp.

Grammy looks at the rotting log and decides there's a better way.

Long Jump: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

And clears the 20ft gap with room to spare.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Sentinel raises X-23 above the water as the pair cross the stream with ease. "Like a fish in water."

Savan follows Jig over to one of the stream crossings and tries to get over it. "Come on, this way!"

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

As you cross the stream, heading to Prembret's camp, there is a sudden disturbance in the water and two rather large leeches suddenly attack.

Zarisha walks along the path. When the leeches reveal themselves, she draws her wand. "Apologies. My boot came unbuckled," she says as she flings a blade at the closest leech.

Stride, Interact, Strike

Zarisha moves up, draws her wand and hurls a shuriken at Blue. The weapon sticks into the creature.

The black leech swims closer to jig and tries to bite the goblin.

Sentinel goes into full defensive mode as it leaps towards the water, clawing and blasting the leech.

Sentinel Jagged Edges: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

"No! That's my blood!"

Jig remembers what he can about leeches (hoping one of the facts is "they're delicious"), and bites his attacker.

Exploit Vulnerability: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Seems like a success, so either weakness 2 or any actual weakness it has

jaws: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 for piercing: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5
jaws: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 6 - 4 = 3 for piercing: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 = 8

Sentinel slashes at a leech with some blue in its skin. The serrated edge of Sentinel's weapon easily parts the leech's flesh and nearly slices it in half. It falls back into the water and doesn't resurface.

Jig tries to recall what he knows about leeches. Hoping that they're tasty, he bites the creature holding him. His first attack hits and he comes away with a mouthful of rubbery flesh that's not really tasty.

"That's a tough leech there," Zarisha says with a frown. She waves her wand around and summons another bolt of lightning down upon the invertebrate. She gestures briefly with her wand as she throws a blade at it as well.

◆◆ Fling Magic, Boosted: Basic Reflex DC 17 vs. Electricity: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Zarisha's lightning bolt catches the leech completely unawares and it literally fries. The carcass drops into the water and is washed downstream.

COMBAT OVER

With the defeat of the leeches, Ecmund and Prembret rejoin you. Ecmund is already thinking of ways to spin this tale into a grand adventure. You all reach Prembret's camp and the pair of new friends cook a celebratory meal for you, smoked sausage and sadza, a mix of dwarf and grippli favorites!

Ecmund and Prembret continue to swap stories over food. One of the more sincere accounts the dwarf shares was his first-time meeting gripplis on board : a magical, grippli-run city-barge currently taking on supplies at Hyrantam. As Prembret’s eyes fill with wonder at the sound of this place, Ecmund decides that bringing his new friend there would generate many more tales than wandering through the jungle.

Ecmund retraces his steps, with you in tow, heading back to the coast with new sodden stories to tell.

End of Bounty

Thanks for playing all! :)

A woozy Jig listens to the story, but can't pay much attention. Time for a nap!

Thanks GM

Grammy will take an hour and feed Jig 6 goodberries, that's 6d6+24 healing and also a full days worth of food.
