Q09 - Wayfinder Origins (P1) (Inactive)

Game Master UncleFroggy

Charlies focuses deeply on the link with his eidolon, boosting Estes on his attacks as Haka gets out of the open door to face the hostilities. Simultaneously, Estes joins Haka to help him.
DC 18 Religion check to Extend Boost: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 (Fail, Boost Eidolon lasts 1 round, Focus Point is not spent)

Estes then bludgeons one of the dogs (Blue) with his wings as he strongly flaps it.
Wing Attack vs Blue: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Wing Damage, Boost Eidolon: 1d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 = 12 Bludgeoning Damage plus 1 good damage (from Hallowed Strikes) vs evil creatures or those with weakness to good damage

Wing Attack vs Blue, Agile, MAP: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 9 - 4 = 11
Wing Damage, Boost Eidolon: 1d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10 Bludgeoning Damage plus 1 good damage (from Hallowed Strikes) vs evil creatures or those with weakness to good damage

When the combat begins the dwarf draws his pistol (free with Energy shot). Then he moves forward to fire towards the yellow robot.

+1 striking Clan pistol: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

+1 striking Clan pistol, hero point reroll: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

Damage, last one acid:2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5, 3) + 1 + 1 = 10

Finally he reloads.

If crit:

Damage, last two acid:5d10 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8, 5, 6, 5, 4) + 2 + 2 = 32

Estes attempts to bludgeon Blue but doesn't succeed. Dran'Tilt, however, shoots Yellow right in the head, annihilating it.

Dran'Tilt, crit damage is the fatal damage (2d10+1) doubled + the fatal die. It's not double the dice. So it's 13+1+1 doubled plus the fatal d10. 36 damage total.

Red steps forward and tries to attack 1-Haka 2-Estes: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Jaws vs Haka AC 19, FF: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

It then tries to bite Estes.

Jaws vs Estes AC 19, MAP: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

The goblin casts Spiritual weapon on the Prefect.

Then he casts shield.

Pre Fix creates a mystical weapon that smashes Prefect before creating an equally mystical shield.

technically better XD

"You are intruders and must therefore be prevented from accessing the laboratory" Prefect intones, nimbly avoiding Wraax and Mr Kitteh's attacks.

Prefect steps and swings his whip at 1-Mr Kitteh 2-Wraax 3-Haka: 2d3 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6

Okay machine, end of the program now.

And he shots at the blue one.

Damage, last one fire: 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2) + 1 + 1 = 8

Then he reloads.

Then I move thinking the blue is down. I will retcon if the robot is still up.

Charlies moves forward and focuses deeply again on the link with his eidolon, boosting Estes.
DC 18 Religion check to Extend Boost: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 (Success, Boost Eidolon lasts 3 rounds, Focus Point)

Dran'Tilt - you have no LoS to blue as there is a wall in the way. Redirecting your attack at Red. Even with the cover it's more than enough to hit.

Dran'Tilt fires at Red, seriously damaging the construct but not quite taking it out of the fight. He moves into the room, ready to provide additional aid.

Seeing an Ally fall, but unable to render aid at this time. Wraax continues to attempt to remove the largest threat, to help protect his allies. Giving an evil glare at the Prefect before moving up and swinging with his Scythe, trying to Trip the Prefect. Mr. Kitteh, being a Mature Companion, she will take the cue for a single action to attempt to Bite it as well.

◆ Wraax Glares at the Prefect. Intimidating Glare: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Poor Mr. Kitteh.. .Pretty sure she fails to hit... But maybe the Demoralize and Trip will work? end of my turn

Wraax glares at Prefect, who doesn't even react. He then moves into a flank and tries to knock Prefect's legs out from under him. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work. Mr Kitteh bites at Prefect but her jaws close on air.

The goblin sustains the Spiritual weapon on the Prefect.

Spiritual weapon:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Damage:1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Then he casts Heal on Haka Geralf.

Heal 2 actions:1d8 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Oof... A +16, or higher, will-save modifier? Ouch. That's pretty dang high even for a level 6 enemy XD

Could just be an anti fear/mind affecting thing since it seems to be an android/ automaton/ etc of some flavor.

I haven't gone in depth on the PF2 rules, but PF1 the AoO took place before the action and prevented trip locks. Since the AoO happened before you stood you were still prone and couldn't be knocked down from prone. It's that different in PF2?

Haka grabs his axe and swings at the red dog's legs.

Attack, prone: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 - 2 = 13
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Charlies Poison Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Pre Fix's spiritual weapon bonks Prefect on the head. Pre Fix then turns and heals Haka, who attempts to cut the Red dog's legs out from under it. Unfortunately neither strike has enough power and they bounce off the dog's legs.

Prefect moves out of the flank and lashes out at 1-Wraax 2-Mr Kitteh: 2d2 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2

Charlies, knowing that Estes is poisoned as he can also feel the pain it is inflicting, rushes toward the angel and attempts to treat the poison by neutralizing it.

It seems that it can't be helped. He continues moving, this time, close to Haka that is already dying.

Estes recovers from the poison and slams his wing down on Red. The wing barely clips the creature but it is enough to break it apart.

The dwarf casts Guidance on himself and aims his new shot to the last foe.

+1 striking Clan pistol: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 13 + 1 = 33

Damage, last 1 acid: 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2) + 1 + 1 = 7

Then he reloads.

If crit:

Damage, last 1 Acid: 2d10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2) + 1 + 1 = 8
Fatal: 1d10 ⇒ 7

So 23 damage.

@haka, yeah in 2e. AoO can, indeed, stun lock. Sort of. Your stand-up action triggers the AoO, letting them cause damage. Unlike 1e, unless one has a specific feat, you can't use Trip as part of an AoO. Usually this means the AoO only triplocks by critting and knocking you unconscious. The weapon this thing is using, though, is not one found anywhere in the normal 2e rules. So it's "knockdown versus metal armor" effect is breaking the usual mold of tight math.

Speaking of, as to the mental/fear effects. Constructs are only immune to such if they are mindless in 2e, this most definitely is not as it has been talking and making intelligent strategic actions. (Speaking of, this might be something the GM missed/assumed from 1e. If so, please take a second look. The pre-printed scenarios etc specifically call out the individual immunities now.) So, at our level, a +1 is about all it would get from any item or aura. Bringing it's Will to a +15 or greater. Which is still supposed to be max for a Level 5 enemy, one less than max for a level 6. Reserved for, usually, spell-caster sorts, who don't get AoO's, and having a Level 6 enemy, plus several smaller additional enemies, would break the encounter budget for this tier, even in a Quest...

Again, this is all breaking the tightly built-in math to this system. Which, as a Venture Lieutenant, bothers me greatly. It means I will specifically NOT be running this adventure for players in the future. As it gives off the wrong feel for 2e... Doubly so right now during this OGL nonsense... Anywho, back to game-play.

Seeing that this enemy is far beyond what it should be. Wraax will Step up to the Prefect, before whistling to Mr. Kitteh, sending her into a Flank and Biting at it. Before finally slamming his Scythe at it.

Dran'Tilt gives himself some added guidance and fires on Prefect. His shot strikes Prefect right between the eyes and causes the head to shatter.

COMBAT OVER

Now that the guardians have been dealt with, you are able to further explore the laboratory. A collection of clockwork tools, shattered aeon stones and rotting piles of vellum fill the shelves in this crowded workspace. Large metal panels removed from the facility’s walls lie in the center of the room; etched into these panels are meticulous blueprints for a wayfinder identical to the one Muesello lent you. You deduce an additional fact about wayfinders that share its model, as indicated by the color of the wayfinder’s light. A signature on each panel reads "Preserver."

The wayfinder has a safety mechanism to prevent accidental conflicts between undercover agents under the effects of magical compulsion.

Records in hand, you return to the Kingfisher. Muesello, thrilled by the discoveries, awards each of you and promises you the first opportunity to obtain the next generation of wayfinders.

Quest Over
Thanks for playing all!

Ahah. As my father told me: Hit them right between the eyes!

A circle of smoke moves up in the air.

Wraax will say a curt, but somewhat friendly, goodbye to everyone. Before he and Mr. Kitteh walk off into their next adventure
