[ACO] PF2e 03-06: Struck By Shadows (P3) (Inactive)

Game Master UncleFroggy

Recall Knowledge: Pathfinder Society Lore T +9 Pathfinder Training
We are in the Grand Lodge. What is normally beyond this door?
There should be some advantage to hanging around here for field agent training. :)

"On it!" Salaish scoots back to the surrendered folks and asks them sweetly: "Hey guys! Quick question. Which kinds of tea do you like? I'm partial to roobios chai. Oh, and do you know anything about that magical rune on the second door back there?" Cue the puppy dog eyes.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

While staring at the fascinating facets of the clacky rock, one of them answers "We know not. The master's skill is way above ours. They did not have time to trap the other door. May we hold the clacky rock again?"

“Powerful Electrical trap. Door leads to library.”

Arfsnarf rolls his eyes and gives his most dramatic, withering sigh as he hands it over.

OKAY BUT THIS LAST TIME!

The kayals look enthused as they take turns holding the clacky rock. Suddenly one of them loses his grip and it begins rolling across the floor, coming to rest under the door...

Mindartis stands at the ready. Unsure what to do next. How can Mindartis help here? He is neither a spellcaster nor a thievery expert.

"I can bark really loud at the door. Maybe that would help?"

Guessing 2d8 isn't going to be nearly enough, though.

"Or just let me handle the door and you all be ready to rush in while I recover."

There is a save if you choose to grab the door

Ra'uf is ready to do something boldly stupid because of high HP and self-healing. He moves to the door and waits to see if someone comes up with something better, but is ready to just take the hit.

KaLang thinks to himself Need to buy some scrolls of resist energy for the future.

“Be better if someone else did it, Ra’uf. Allow you to protect them.”

If someone with a double digit Reflex save did it, Ra’uf could use his champion’s reaction to reduce the damage.

If no one else steps up, probably better for KaLang to do it.
I will wait to see if someone else steps in.

Did somebody say double-digit reflex save?

Arfsnarf runs over to follow his clacky rock. He pauses at the door, wondering what he can do about it.

Just in case plain thievery works...

He attempts mechanical negotiations with its mechanisms...
Thievery: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

and if that doesn't work he gives up and tries the door!

UPDATE: Just before opening it he casts resist energy (electricity) on himself.

Resist electricity 5 for 1 minute

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Oof, the RNG is having a laugh.

"OH! Ra'uf! Wait!--Sorry guys, I gotta run! Be back in a bit!" Salaish calls out to the surrendered kayals as she dashes back to the group at the door. "Before anyone opens the door: I have a scroll of Resist Energy!--Oh, Arfsnarf, thank goodness you thought of it first! Whew!"

The scroll is still available if anyone wants it.

Zendel gives the hobgoblin grunt for 'Good Man' seeing ArfSnarf protect himself with Resist Energy before opening the door.

"Be ready to protect him, Ra'uf! Teamwork is how we survive this!"

Arfsnarf's eyes bug out as the clacky rock rolls under the door. The kayal who lost his grip on it is equally shocked. Arfsnarf grabs the door and instantly receives a shock.

Electricity, DC 25 Basic Reflex Save, Resist Energy: 3d12 + 3 ⇒ (5, 10, 5) + 3 = 23
The resist 5 is accounted for; the damage is 3d12+8

Arfsnarf doesn't manage to let go in time and takes the entire charge.

On the other side of the door you see a large room that appears to be a lounge, but all of the couches, chairs, tables, and other furniture have been pushed against the walls to maximize space in the center of the room. Three beings are waiting for you. Two are the same kayals you've been facing all day, but the third is a mysteriously dark figure cloaked in black.

A kayal in a Blue tunic sees you burst through the door. He draws his sword, rushes forward and strikes at 1-Kalang 2-Ra'uf: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Shortsword vs KaLang AC 20: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Piercing/Slashing: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Mindartis pauses to pick up the clacky rock (before he steps on it) and hands it back to Arfsnarf.

Was sooo tempted to have someone make a Perception check, then a reflex save if they failed -- i.e. they didn't see the clacky rock, then stepped on it :)

Ra'uf should be hasted, GM.

◈ Zendel steps inside, his attention immediately drawn by the dark figure with green trim.

◇ Devise Stratagem: 1d20 ⇒ 12
◇ Known Weakness (Arcana, Crafting, Gossip Lore, Occultism +10; Religion, Nature +8; Society +12)

Although his stratagem seems somewhat shaky for dealing with such a formidable-looking figure, there is really only one way to test how hard it is to hit.

◈ Stratagem + Shortbow: 12 + 10 + 1 = 23
Strategic Strike+Piercing damage: 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 4) + (3) = 12
Deadly?: 1d10 ⇒ 1

◈ And since knowledge is power, Zendel attempts to identify whatever that is again if his first attempt was successful.

KaLang doesn’t hesitate to strike back at the one in blue who struck at him.
◆◆ Spellstrike with Goughing Claw
+1 Striking Halberd: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28 Reach, Versatile S
Slashing damage: 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 = 10
Slashing from Goughing Claw: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2) + 3 = 7

He then takes his stance.
◆ Arcane Cascade stance

“I’m going to cut you down!”

KaLang strikes at Blue and opens a serious gash in his arm. Zendel develops a game plan and strikes out with his shortbow. However, the arrow barely misses the creature's arm.

Red draws his sword and charges the group. He tries to poke 1-Zendel 2-KaLang: 1d2 ⇒ 1.

Shortsword vs Zendel AC 20: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Apparently the gnome's colorful hair served to distract him...

I know Arfsnarf is the logical choice to open the door, but Ra'uf is peeved that someone else did it. Was I able to use my reaction to help, or was that not enough like combat?

Ra'uf glanced back at Arfsnarf with wide, watery eyes and calls out, "Get over here so I can fix that!". He then turns to the matter at hand.

◆ Strike One

+1 Greataxe: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Slashing Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

◆ Strike Two

+1 Greataxe: 1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 10 - 5 = 7
Slashing Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

◆ Strike Three

+1 Greataxe: 1d20 + 10 - 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 - 10 = 19
Slashing Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

When Blue is out, ◆ Step northwest to be adjacent to Red and use any remaining Strikes. If all three attacks are not enough, ◆ Demoralize Blue.

Intimidation: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

And we all know this part by now.

Ra'uf swings his massive axe at Blue and deals him two crippling blows. Blue is grievously wounded but still holding together. Ra'uf glares at Blue and terrifies the grievously wounded kayal.

Ah, okay, but it crowded up there!

He can still feel the smoke rising off of his singed goblin flesh. He decides to stay put and incant a barrage of magic missiles over the crowd.

◆◆◆ Cast (somatic, verbal) magic missile vs. BLUE
Force damage BLUE: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3, 1) + 3 = 8

Arfsnarf sends three missiles at Blue which strike the kayal in the chest. Blue staggers, his chest smoking. He's on his last legs but miraculously still stands.

Green stops for an instant and is suddenly cloaked in shadows. You still know where he is but the shadows now cover the creature. (Green is now concealed, DC 5 flat check to target). Green steps forward and swings a long staff at Zendel.

Staff vs Zendel, AC 20, Reach 10': 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31
Bludgeoning, Crit: 2d10 + 7 ⇒ (7, 8) + 7 = 22
Doubled to 44. Less 6 from ↺ Liberating Step (Ra'uf)

A mote of shadow clings to Zendel, left by the staff.

"Owwww! Medic!" Zendel takes the liberating step, taking cover behind the other bad guy from the boss. "That black thing in the green trim is a construct, and it hits hard. Mindartis, hit it with a beacon arrow! It's made of shadow, so it will probably hate that. Also, it's hard to hit... Use your FIRST arrow on it."

Fortitude (T): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

"It's also left some shadow clinging to me!" Zendel attempts his damnedest to shake it off.

Mindartis nods his head. "But please give us some room. It will be difficult to aim at this distance."

Mindartis takes two arrows and sets his focus first on the wounded enemy (blue). He quickly fires two arrows in succession.

Longbow: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 2 = 18

Longbow: 1d20 + 11 - 5 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 5 - 2 = 6

Piercing + Precision: 3d8 ⇒ (4, 7, 3) = 14

Mindartis focuses on Blue and sends two arrows. Unfortunately both arrows miss their mark and shatter on the back wall.

Zendel manages to brush the shadow mote off his arm while staggering away from the creature in black.

"All right folks, here we go!" Salaish begins another song, this one about kids getting amusing revenge on a perpetually-hushing-them librarian. She finishes off the chorus with a sonic boom that pummels the senses of green and red.

Lingering Performance: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
Crit failure; Inspire Courage lasts 1 round, and the focus point isn't used.

Sonic Burst: 2d10 ⇒ (10, 8) = 18
Orange circle shows 10 foot burst of sonic damage. DC 20 Fort save.

◇ Lingering Performance, ◆ Inspire Courage, ◆◆ Cast a spell

Salaish performs a tune and ends it with a bang. Red gets his bells rung, but the creature with the green hair doesn't appear to be affected.

Red's damage adjusted for IC :)

Blue attacks 1-KaLang 2-Ra'uf: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Shortsword vs Ra'uf AC 22: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Apparently the lack of blood is affecting his ability to aim.

He reaches into his belt pouch, pulling out a vial. He uncorks it with his teeth and tips it back.

Minor Elixir of Life: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Zendel delays until after Kalang acts. If Blue goes down, Zendel moves next to Ra'uf so he can get a Lay on Hands from the Champion. If Blue doesn't go down, Zendel goes to the corner where he will less likely to be hit.

"I could really use a Soothe or Lay on Hands spell." Zendel moves away from the murderous construct and quaffs his last minor elixir of healing, since he gave the good potions to the main martials.

Minor Healing Potion: 1d8 ⇒ 5

"Mindartis, light the construct up with a beacon arrow. It's made of shadow!"

KaLang moves into a position where he can use his noisy spell and then strikes Blue while using it.
“Die!”
◆ Stride

Piercing damage, IC: 2d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 10) + 4 + 1 = 19 +1 S Arcane Cascade
Blue and Red should attempt a basic DC 19 Fort save vs 2 Sonic

If Blue is still standing, strike again otherwise cast shield

Piercing damage, IC: 2d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 + 1 = 9 +1 S Arcane Cascade

◆ Cast Shield if Blue was down, otherwise Strike Blue

KaLang sets up in an advantageous position and casts his loud spell while swinging at Blue. Red gets an earful but Blue is sliced in half by the massive strike. KaLang then summons a mystical shield.

Zendel meanwhile moves to safety and drinks a healing potion.

Red, meanwhile withdraws to block the stairs. He pulls out a potion and quaffs it.

◆ Lay on Hands

+12 HP, +2 AC for one round

◆ Stride

◆ Strike Green

+1 Greataxe: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Slashing Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Slashing Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Seeing some space, Arfsnarf slips past Mindartis and slides along the wall until he has both foes lined up...

◆ Stride 20 ft

He looks up and both of them, flashing his toothy grin before...

UNLIMITED POWER!

◆◆ Cast (somatic, verbal) lightning bolt in line through RED/GREEN
Electricity damage, DC21 basic reflex save: 4d12 ⇒ (2, 5, 4, 11) = 22

Ra'uf lays his paws on Zendel and closes some of his wounds. He then charges Green but misses twice. Arfsnarf gets into position and blasts both Green and Red with lightning.

Neither creature gets out of the way in time and Red looks more like a charred husk than a kayal but is still fighting.

Green swings his staff at Arfsnarf.

Shadow Staff vs Arfsnarf AC 22, Reach: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26
Bludgeoning: 2d10 + 7 ⇒ (10, 3) + 7 = 20

Green then lashes out with a fist at Ra'uf.

Fist vs Ra'uf AC 22, MAP: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Finally Green decides to try to finish Arfsnarf off.

Bludgeoning: 2d10 + 7 ⇒ (6, 10) + 7 = 23

Ra'uf do you want to apply your reaction to Arfsnarf even though it won't change anything?

Red watches with glee as Arfsnarf drops to the ground. A mote of shadow clings to Arfsnarf where the staff struck him.

Forgot to mention...

As Arfsnarf crumples to the floor, Red's eyes glimmer with greed as he eyes the clacky rock...

Zendel curses under his breath his poor life choices. "Why didn't I study a more expeditious form of First Aid? Salaish, do you have a Soothe left for ArfSnarf?"

Seriously, I need to take Battle Medicine next level...

◇ Devise Stratagem: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Hero Point: 1d20 ⇒ 5
◇ Known Weakness (Arcana, Crafting, Gossip Lore, Occultism +10; Religion, Nature +8; Society +12)

Zendel attempts to devise a stratagem for taking out Green (and hopes to come up with some more helpful information as well), but discards his stratagem as all but useless. Still, ArfSnarf's lightning bolt looked like it did useful damage.

Zendel concentrates.

"Really LIMITED POWER!"

◈ Shortbow (striking): 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 1 = 26
Piercing damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7
Deadly?: 1d10 ⇒ 1

He shoots at Red, and then casts Electric Arc on both Red and Green.

◈◈ Electric Arc (DC 17): 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4) + 3 = 8

"On it!" Salaish gasps as Arfsnarf collapses, and begins casting Soothe as quickly as she can.

Casting at 2nd level, since Soothe is her Signature Spell

Soothe Arfsnarf: 2d10 + 8 ⇒ (4, 5) + 8 = 17
Arfsnarf also gets a +2 status bonus to saves against mental effects for one minute.

She then goes back to playing her song, desperately trying to inspire her team to fight back better!

Lingering Performance DC 19: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
Success. Casting Inspire Courage again. All allies get a +1 status bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves against fear effects for 3 rounds.

◆◆ Cast a spell, ◇ Lingering Composition, ◆ Inspire Courage

If Arfsnarf is going to be KOed anyway, I would hold the reaction.

Salaish sends some much needed healing to Arfsnarf, waking him up and preventing the loss of the clacky rock across the lounge floor...

Zendel attempts to develop a game plan against Green but can't seem to calculate the angles. He instead sends an arrow at Red and finishes him off. Green easily avoids the lightning from Zendel.

Mindartis Nightbreeze - AC 21, 50/50; Mialee AC 19, 32/32
Salaish Talenduth - AC 21, 48/48

Derp, I got it mixed up with minor elixir of life.

Minor healing potion: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Ra'uf has competing interests here, but is fast enough to attempt both!

◆ Step

◆ Strike

+1 Greataxe: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Slashing Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

◆ Strike

+1 Greataxe: 1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 10 - 5 = 7
Slashing Damage: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

◆ Battle Medicine

Battle Medicine: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Healing: 2d8 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7
Critical Healing: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10

Got two HP, so let's try to give Arfsnarf some HP.

Battle Medicine, Hero Point, Promotional Vestments: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 1 = 16

Ra'uf strikes at Green, to no avail. He does, however, succeed in patching up Arfsnarf.

Green notices three targets within range of his staff and swings at:

1-KaLang 2-Ra'uf 3-Arfsnarf: 3d3 ⇒ (1, 2, 3) = 6

Looks like he's an equal opportunity attacker

Shadow Staff vs KaLang AC 21: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24
Shadow Staff vs Ra'uf AC 22, MAP: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Shadow Staff vs Arfsnarf AC 22, MAP 2+: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Bludgeoning vs KaLang: 2d10 + 7 ⇒ (2, 4) + 7 = 13
Less 6 from Ra'uf's reaction

Bludgeoning vs Ra'uf: 2d10 + 7 ⇒ (3, 6) + 7 = 16

Arfsnarf manages to duck out of the way in time as the staff narrowly misses. KaLang and Ra'uf appear to have a small smidgen of shadow clinging to them where the staff connected.

"If we can crack Green's armor, he will be easier to hit!" Zendel calls out.

◇ Devise Stratagem: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Zendel follows up with some more kinda limited power. "You can't evade every electric arc I send your way! Sooner or later, you will fail!"

◈◈ Electric Arc (DC 17): 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1) + 3 = 8
