GM Frost's S01-06 Lost on the Spirit Road [PbP Outpost VI] (Inactive)

Game Master Frozen Frost

Garrace prepares and advances to the villain. Dorobu meets him and slashes Garrace with his claws one after another!

@Garrace, tell me if you would like to Shield Block any of the damage.

Garrace would have used Shield Block after the first strike.

The duskwalker takes another arrow and tries to find a weak point on the large Dorobu.

Devise stratagem:1d20 ⇒ 1

As he doesn't find an opportunity, he casts Guidance upon Lendaru and steps forward.

The inventor moves and strikes the Durobu.

Greatpick:1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 1 = 28

Damage, overdrive:1d10 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 4 = 10

Then he casts shield.

Garrace blocks the first attack of Dorobu with his Steel Shield. Garrace and Steel Shield takes 4 damage and another 13 damage to Garrace. Zhamie hits Dorobu again to further impale him. Corelion misses hitting his prey. Kerlok seems distracted and chooses to Guide Lendaru before Stepping closer to Dorobu. Lendaru successfully pokes Dorobu before he casts his Shield again. Dorobu is barely keeping it now.

There are now many people near Dorobu. So the duskwalker gives up with trying to find a weak point. He simply shots an arrow instead and casts a spell towards the creature.

+1 striking shortbow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4

Crit? Deadly:1d10 ⇒ 3

Electric arc: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3) + 4 = 9

Reflex DC 20

The inventor strikes the Dorobu.

Greatpick:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Damage, overdrive:1d10 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 4 = 13

Greatpick:1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 9 - 5 = 15

Damage, overdrive:1d10 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 4 = 8

Then he casts shield.

Necco is wet, cold, and badly injured. She is not a happy cat, takes three steps to the east, and loudly encourages her comrades.

Zhamie reloads again and tries to get the angle on Dorobu.

Devise: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Discarding the idea, Zhamie runs north, heading for Necco to help patch up her companion.

◆ Interact to Reload
◇ Devise
◆◆ Stride

Corelion continues his assault.

halberd: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
piercing: 1d10 + 6 + 1d7 ⇒ (9) + 6 + (1) = 16

Corelion follows up with an electric arc.

electric damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2) + 3 = 7
basic ref DC 18

DC 20 basic Reflex save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Kerlok shoots and does not miss. He follows it up with an electric arc which Dorobu misses to evade. (Dorobu takes 13 total damage) Lendaru does not connect with both of his strikes and raises shield. Necco keeps herself from battle and lets the others defeat Dorobu. Zhamie reloads and cant find the kitsune's weakness. Finally, Corelion brings a fatal piercing with his halberd straight to the heart of Dorobu. The enlarged kitsune returns to his normal size and falls with a thud.

COMBAT OVER! WELL DONE!

When the villain falls, so does the last spiritual barrier keeping the kami caged inside the relic. With a warm green light, the relic smoothly ejects a small humanoid figure with moss-like skin and a conical hat. The kodama bows to them and thanks them for both returning it to its home and dispatching the usurpers that had profaned its grove while it was imprisoned. It gifts the now non-magical relic to them and affirms that they will forever be welcome in its stretch of the Forest of Spirits.

The poracha thief briefly approaches the agents following their triumph over the villain to thank them. After doing so, the thief quietly disappears into the woods. With the villain defeated, they lead the caravan safely along the remainder of the Spirit Road into Minkai. There they reunite with Amara Li and present her with the relic. She is relieved to see everyone returning safely, including Lin Po and Ti Lan. She listens keenly to the tale of their exploits in the Forest of Spirits, fascinated that the relic housed a trapped kami all this time and that neither she nor her benefactor had any idea. Finally, she suggests that all of the agents take a well-earned rest before embarking on new adventures.

-END OF SCENARIO-

Thank you for playing. I will prepare the chronicles shortly and get this game reported to the Outpost team.
