[PF2] Troubles in Otari (GM Watery Soup)

Game Master Watery Soup

"We HAVE been on the road all day... perhaps Grimmy has a good point", Kzem observes absentmindedly- distracted by the belt. "Looks well made, do you think it goes well with my cloak?"

I wouldn't mind the belt, though So has equal claim to it

"Let's bring the mushroom back and go to sleep, I wouldn't mind to rest, we could also take some mushroom for dinner, I know decent scrambled eggs with mushroom that I could make"

Magiloy thanks the heroes for bringing back the mushrooms and is completely incensed at the suggestion that they be used to make soup. "Soup? SOUP?!" The mushrooms are rare copper-cap mushrooms, making soup with them is something that a royal cook might do.

She also gives Fillruk a tongue-lashing about wandering into caves alone, but agrees to give him a job finding more mushrooms for her if this new recipe of hers works.

She brewed three doses of capsacin tonic while you were gone.

The heroes, weary from a full day of doing other peoples' biddings, call it a night.

Bookkeeping: I'll need to know who invests in the belt of good health the next morning, and if you want, you can buy Common items in town. I'll try to get the loot tracker updated.

I can take the belt :)

I suggest Kzem and Beggar So each roll d20s, higher roll gets it.

Kzem?: 1d20 ⇒ 1

I guess So gets it :)

Belt: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Would have been funny if I'd rolled a 1 as well! :)

Beggar So puts on the belt and grins like an idiot, seeing that it's the first piece of new clothing (magical or otherwise) he's had in a long time!

Grimmylow takes the rat and strokes it as though it actually is a fluffy, cuddly pet.

"I'm rich. Rich!" he mutters to himself, apparently not knowing the difference between pyrite and gold.

"At least until I donate you to Sarenrae."

After stopping in town for breakfast and maybe a few purchases, the group heads out to the Giant’s Wheel, the massive lumber wheel at the edge of Otari where the lumber companies have their wood milled.

The second package is addressed to the lumber foreman, Klorte Hengus, an immense, muscular half-orc with short, blunt tusks.

"YES, I'M KLORTE," the man shouts as the heroes locate him. Although the mill is relatively quiet at the time, Klorte has become used to shouting to make himself heard above the flume’s sometimes deafening noise. "OH! THE PACKAGE! YES, YES, THAT'S MINE."

Klorte pulls out 5 gp, the price for the package delivery, and rips the package open with his bare hands. A set of decorative pins falls to the ground, and Klorte laughs. He explains that he used to be a gladiator, and these pins represent different victories in Absalom’s great gladiatorial coliseum, the Irorium. An old friend collected these as trophies from people Klorte defeated long ago.

He holds up one of the pins, alternating his gaze between it and Beggar So.

"HAVE WE FOUGHT TOGETHER?" he asks.

(He'll offer you a quest either way.)

Thorn picks up one of the pins and look at it, he wonders what Beggar would answer. He moves his gun a bit on his shoulder, a habit that he has whenever he is a bit unease.

Beggar So looks a bit confused

"Fought? I doubt it. This is my first time in this town"

"Nice to meet you! Those are very nice pins!" Grimmylow looks hopefully at Beggar So.

"Why didn't you tell us you was a gladiator?"

"pstt. What are pins? Does he have these pins for everyone?"

"No idea. I don't even know him..."

Fought? I doubt it. This is my first time in this town"

"MUST HAVE TAKEN ONE TOO MANY BLOWS TO THE HEAD," Klorte explains.

"Nice to meet you! Those are very nice pins!"

"pstt. What are pins? Does he have these pins for everyone?"

Klorte may have difficulty speaking a normal volume, but he doesn't seem to have any difficulting hearing at a normal volume.

"YOU LIKE 'EM? I'LL TELL YOU WHAT - YOU CAN HAVE ONE, IF YOU DO ME A FAVOR. I'VE NOTICED SOME SCORCHING ALONG THE FLUME, AND I SUSPECT ARSON. STAKE OUT THE FLUME TONIGHT, AND FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. IF YOU UNCOVER THE SOURCE OF THE SABOTAGE AND PUT A STOP TO IT, YOU CAN HAVE ONE OF MY VICTORY PINS."

He pulls out a box, and inside, are dozens of pins that he's won. He digs around for a gold one that detects as magical. This pin will function as a runestone containing a +1 striking weapon rune.

Assuming you accept, see Slide 1. Your characters are welcome to make whatever preparations they’d like to stake out the flume. The water rushes too quickly for anyone in the flume to avoid being swept downstream, but several trees and bushes near the flume make good hiding places. I'll also request that you describe your light situation - you'll either have to announce your presence with lighting, or have to find a way to see in dim light or the dark, depending on when your watch is.

Thorn hides behind the tree, he uses cut branches to cover his position and hide his gun. He makes sure that his barrel will not reflect light, he prepares his gunpowder and bullets for whatever will not fall from one shot.

He lies there anxious, certain that any moment something would come ...

any moment ...

Stealth +8, Darkvision

Grimmylow plops himself down a little ways back in the bushes. He tries to find some foliage that comes close to matching his skin tone.

After a little while of sitting quiet, he starts to hum softly to himself, then mutter a few verses of a hymn. Before he knows it, he's singing loudly.

He does so for a verse or two before his eyes widen and he claps both hands over his mouth.

He continues to sit like that for the rest of his watch.

Stealth +7, Perception +8, Darkvision.

Low light Vision

Buzz climbs high into a branch behind a large leaf. Pulling it up and overhimself he gets cozy, only looking to close his eyes for a couple of minutes before his turn to watch.

Dark Vision. Perception +7, Stealth +1

"I am a bit... uh, large... to be hiding in trees. But I can do my best. I will, however, be somewhat useful in the darkest parts of the evening."

He makes his way into the brush and attempts to find a large enough branch to hide his bulk.

Stealth: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Beggar So hides with the others.

It's during Beggar So's watch that a distant flame appears. Although he can't see in the dark, he can see it. Two flaming dogs and a humanoid approach, sneaking quietly.

They don't appear to have noticed the heroes yet.

Most of the party is asleep (prone, unarmed) and unarmored. Anyone who is awake (currently only Beggar So) can Sneak to an adjacent square and wake someone up quietly as an Interact action. Alternatively, anyone who is awake can shout an alarm, waking everyone (but definitely giving your position away).

--Round 1
Beggar So (47/47, awake)
Grimmylow (40/40, asleep, unarmored)
Thorn (43/43, asleep, unarmored)
Humanoid (-0 hp, Unobserved to sleeping, Concealed to Beggar So, Recall: Society)
Yellow Hound (-0 hp, Unobserved to sleeping, Concealed to Beggar So, Recall: Arcana/Nature)
Blue Hound (-0 hp, Unobserved to sleeping, Concealed to Beggar So, Recall: Arcana/Nature)
Buzz (30/30, asleep, unarmored) / Loudmouth (30/30, asleep)
Kzem (45/45, asleep, unarmored)

Moving as slowly as possible, Beggar So slides over to Grimmy and gently pokes him gently with his staff, whispering urgently.

"Ssst! Ssst! Grimmy! Grimmy! I think something is approaching us."

Stealth +8

Beggar So then reaches into his robes and pulls out a shuriken.

◆ Stride (sneak to Grimmy)
◆ Interact (Wake up Grimmy)
◆ Interact (draw shuriken)

Grimmylow's time from before he was an upright servant of Sarenrae serves him well, so when he's woken up, he doesn't immediately make any noise, his oversized eyes just flash open.

He gives a nod, looks around and creeps over to Buzz.

"Quiet! Someone's coming!" he says, carefully shaking the tiny man awake.

Stealth +6

◆ Crawl (sneak to Buzz)
◆ Interact (Wake up Buzz)

Technically Thorn gets a Perception check to wake up, but I'm going to Delay since the enemies are going to make noise real soon.

The humanoid moves forward, unaware of the heroes lying in wait.
◆ Stride, ◆ Seek (30' cone), ◆ Stride

The Yellow hound moves forward. However, as soon as it steps within 60' of the heroes, something tingles at its nose - it smells intruders! Technically, they are the intruders, but dogs don't understand property rights any more than kobolds do. It begins barking.
◆ Stride, ◆ Point Out (Buzz), ◆ Point Out (Grimmylow)

Everyone wakes up. Many of you are still Undetected to Red, but the hounds smell everyone now so you're merely Hidden to them.

The Blue hound, alerted to their presence, rushes forward, breathing a cone of fire that engulfs Buzz and Grimmylow, and coincidentally, Beggar So. (15' cone to the SW)
◆ Stride, ◆ Stride, ◆ Breath Weapon

Fire: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 6, 5) = 21
DC 19 basic Reflex save

Ouchie. In case you don't know off the top of your head (I had to look it up), Reflex saves are unaffected by being prone/off-guard.

--Round 1
Buzz (30/30, Reflex vs -21, prone, unarmed, unarmored AC 18, Hidden to Red, Yellow, Blue) / Loudmouth (30/30, prone, Undetected to Red, Hidden to Yellow/Blue)

Ref: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

"It is chasing me!" yells Thorn yelling, as he quickly tries to realize what is happening, he gets up and grabs his weapon and ...

I think Thorn would go to sleep with his gun loaded, hoping that no one will pull the trigger, in which case he would fire. If GM thinks it is dumb, he would reload :D

Boom@Yellow: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
Damage, p/b: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Reflex DC 19: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Buzz is engulfed by the flames in his sleep. He doesn't have a chance to awaken as his body is nearly incinerated.

42 damage for Dying 2

Waking groggily, Kzem rolls over and stumbles to his feet. He grasps for his shield, and holds it up in front of him while he gets his bearings.

◆ Stand
◆ Grab Shield
◆ Raise Shield

AC 16 (unarmored) +2 (raised shield) = 18

Thorn grabs his gun and fires. Sleeping with gun loaded is fine. I also realized that you all would have had the option of sleeping in armor and being fatigued the next day, let me know and we can retcon.

Kzem grabs his shield and raises it.

Buzz doesn't grab anything ... he doesn't even seem to wake up.

--Round 2
Beggar So (37/47, shuriken, AC 20, Undetected to Red, Hidden to Yellow/Blue)
Grimmylow (40/40, Reflex vs -21, prone, unarmed, unarmored AC 17, Hidden to Red, Yellow, Blue)
Humanoid (-0 hp, dim light, Recall: Society)

Thorn (43/43, unarmored)
Kzem (45/45, unarmored, shield raised)

Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Grimmylow manages to roll away from the center of the fiery blast.

He's about to shout "Oh no! Buzz!" when he realizes that stealth might be helpful.

Fortunately, he's right by the little bug so he applies some quick healing.

Medicine (Battle Medicine): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Crit Healing: 4d8 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 7) = 15

But he may give his position away as he calls out a spell.

"Oh mighty Sarenrae, in your beneficent mercy please smite this #$%@ most violently!"

Spiritual Weapon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Force Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 6) = 14

Am I correct in assuming that my spells are not refreshed, yet?

Correct, spells are not refreshed until morning.

Grimmylow slaps a bandage on Buzz, and casts a spell on the hound. Unfortunately, the shimmering scimitar misses.

--Round 2
Beggar So (37/47, shuriken, AC 20, Undetected to Red, Hidden to Yellow/Blue)
Grimmylow (40/40, Reflex vs -21, prone, unarmed, unarmored AC 17, Hidden to Red, Yellow, Blue)

Blue Hound (-0 hp, dim light, Recall: Arcana/Nature)
Thorn (43/43, unarmored)
Kzem (45/45, unarmored, shield raised)

oops. sorry

Beggar So moves slowly, so as not to give his position away. He drops the shuriken and slowly draws his staff, then jabs at Blue from the bushes.

Bo Staff: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Bo Staff MAP: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Bludgeoning: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 Doubled if Crit
Bludgeoning: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 Doubled if Crit

◆ Step/Stride
◆ Interact to Draw
◆ Flurry

Beggar So thwacks the hound twice, barely missing its jugular, which would have been critical.

The humanoid yelps, "Oho! Intruders!" and strides forward, drawing his sword and swinging at Beggar So.

Longsword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Slashing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

He slashes Beggar So deeply. "Attack, Rufus!" The yellow hound races forward, barking a cone of fire at Thorn and Kzem. The SW cone incidentally catches Loudmouth.

Fire: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 2, 3) = 12
DC 19 basic Reflex save

It follows with a bite against Thorn.

Bite: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 plus Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 3 plus Evil: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Reflex DC 19: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 6 damage

Buzz shakily gets to his feet as he retreats back into the woods a little further. Digging through his pack he manages to find a small vial that will help him a little bit.

◆ Stand
◆ Stride
◆ Draw Minor Elixir of Life

Buzz moves away unstealthily, and Loudmouth awakens with an unpleasant burning.

The Blue hound moves into the forest, smelling Grimmylow and attacking.

Jaws: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
Piercing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 plus Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 3 plus Evil: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Piercing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 plus Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 6 plus Evil: 1d6 ⇒ 2

I'm Delaying the humanoid and Yellow until after Buzz acts again, because I dislike splitting initiative on PbP.

Reflex, DC 19: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 39/45

Rolling out of the way, Kzem ducks around the yellow hound and turns- trapping it between him and Thorn. In a flourish, he dips his shield into the river before he slams it into the flaming creature.

E.L. vs Standard DC Creature Level: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Shield Boss vs FF: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 Damage (b): 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 + either highest weakness, or weakness of 3 (if EL wasn't a critical failure)

Beggar So takes a step back and attacks the humanoid with his staff.

"You should respect your elders you little scamp!

Bo Staff: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Bo Staff MAP: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

But doesn't quite make a good impression on his enemy...

◆ Step
◆◆ Flurry of Whiffs

Reflex dc19: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Thorn fails to dodge the flames, he reloads the gun and fires

Boom@Yellow: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Boom@Yellow, hero point: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Damage, p/b: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Than he reloads again.

"Take it down Kzem!"

"This is why goblins don't like dogs!" Grimmylow declares.

He Steps away from the fiery canine and slaps some balm on the wound then moves the scimitar of divine force to attack it.

Medicine: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
Healing: 2d8 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9

Spiritual Weapon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Force Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

Kzem knows that the fiery hounds have a weakness to cold, and he brings out an ice cube in his off hand. Weakness cold 5 Unfortunately, his shield attack misses.

Beggar So steps back and flurries. Flurry is 1 action, so Beggar So has 1 action remaining.

Thorn's gun fires and the hound yelps in pain.

Grimmylow puts a bandage on himself and sustains his ghostly scimitar. Grimmy, you're still prone, so you can either Crawl or Stand, but not Step.

Humanoid (-0 hp, dim light, Recall: Society)
Yellow Hound (-8 hp, dim light, Recall: Arcana/Nature)
Blue Hound (-13 hp, dim light, Recall: Arcana/Nature)

Buzz decides to hold onto his elixir just in case one of the otehrs needs it. Holding it tight to his side he fires off a couple of stinger missiles at the flaming hounds.

Target Blue

Sting Shot: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Damage (Poison): 1d4 ⇒ 4

Sting Shot: 1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 5 = 15

Sting Shot: 1d20 + 8 - 10 ⇒ (1) + 8 - 10 = -1
Damage (Poison): 1d4 ⇒ 4

Beggar So shifts into a combat stance.

◆ Stoked Flame Stance

Gonna rule Grimmy as a Crawl.

Buzz fires some stingers, although only the first one hits.

Beggar So enters a stance, and the humanoid notices. He steps up and fights mano-a-mano. Surprisingly, he tries to grab Beggar So, at first.

Athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 vs Fortitude DC 19

Beggar So proves elusive. The humanoid then swings his sword.

Longsword, MAP: 1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 10 - 5 = 8
Slashing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

He's not thrilled with his performance. "Sic him!" he yells to Blue, who circles around to flank.

Jaws: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31 vs off-guard
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 plus Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Uh ... so, I've been adding 1d6 evil, and I'm not entirely sure why. I put it down erroneously the first time and propagated it with laziness. I'm returning 3 hit points to Thorn and 4 to Grimmylow.

Yellow turns and strikes at Kzem.

Jaws: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 plus Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Jaws, MAP: 1d20 + 13 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 13 - 5 = 10
Piercing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 plus Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Hearing its master call, it abandons its attack and goes to gang up Beggar So.

Thorn raises his gun and fires

Damage, p/b: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Than he reloads and fires again

Boom@Yellow: 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 11 - 5 = 11
Damage, p/b: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

but his aim is off

With the evil dog (redundant) not so close, Grimmylow climbs to his feet. "You leave So alone!" he shouts at them, moving Sarenrae's divine wrath to keep up with the blue dog.

Spiritual Weapon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Force Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (7, 3) = 10

He also calls down her protection on himself.

He takes two steps to try to get away.

◆ Flurry

Both of Thorn's shots go wide, and Grimmylow's scimitar slashes at the ground, but Kzem flanks the humanoid and ponders its nature. It is a bugbear, and Kzem sprays some DEET on his shield to keep the bugs away. No weaknesses, so weakness 3. His shield smashes critically into the bugbear.

Beggar So punches the bugbear twice in rapid succession, bringing it to the brink of death. If you want to revise your actions knowing the next hit might down it, you can. Or maybe Buzz would take it down with splash damage. :)

"Bloody hell!" he yells as he reloads his gun and shoots the bugbear

Than he reloads again
