(PFS2e) Q4: Port Peril Pub Crawl (Inactive)

Game Master Blake's Tiger

Indeed, the tengu jinx-eater that Jig points out swallows wrong and starts choking on his own saliva. She slaps the table until she catches her breath.

"Beginner's luck!" Fane says with a laugh. "Which one is next?"

None of the above

Bashii looks on, totally perplexed over what's going on.

Gwen feels that same inky, oily feeling watching the tengu's that she does when she looks at any image of her mother, who tried to kill her. Her deep scars around her neck itch furiously, and she fidgets to scratch them, but keeps the scarf covering the scars.

No Occultism here...yet.

Occultism: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Princess Sunset climbs ontop of the table to get a better view. "That one!" She points off into the distance. "That one! That one! That one!"

The one Princess Sunset picks slips on a puddle of beer. The tengu all start laughing again.

"A fluke!" Fane says as she slaps the table and downs another cup of Hull Stripper. "See if you can't get three!"

If nobody else has an appropriate skill, feel free to go again.

"Bah, fortune tellin's not real unless you're readin' the leaves as they fall from the trees."

Grammy takes a slow sip of something less caustic than hull stripper.

No occultism

Occultism: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Princess Sunset giggles with the Tengu's unfortunate 'accident' "Same one! Same one!" Her soft feet thump o the table as she raises the broken horse leg victoriously.

The tengu to the left of the one Princess Sunset selected is lighting a pipe. He suddenly coughs and accidentally (or not) tosses his pipe bowl onto his neighbor. The high proof liquor soaked into that one's jacket catches on fire briefly before the tengu manages to pat it out.

"Huh. Well done. Never would have expected you to guess three in a row," Fane says with a lopsided smirk and wink. "Let's go get down to business. Come over to my table."

She leads you through the bar patrons to a table. "Unroll the contract on the table, will you?" she asks. Fane then draws a knife and pricks her finger. She signs the contract with her own blood.

"Now! It's best that you lot--and you do stick out--are not what people remember from this night," says the pirate captain with long white hair, a burgundy coat, and a flamboyant captain's hat as she rolls the contract back up and hands it to you. "You never can tell who's watching. The Free Captains have eyes everywhere."

She steps away from the table. "Good luck!"

Before you can ask why she is wishing you luck, Fane swirls her coat, grabs a mug of ale off of a table, and tosses it along with a translucent round stone. Just as the mug lands and splatters nearby patrons, the stone strikes the ground and explodes with thunder, and Fane disappears in a puff of smoke.

A bunch of pirates point there fingers at a table of tengu priests. The tengu priests point fingers back. Accusatory and offensive words are thrown back and forth. The gist is that each believes the other is mocking the other's god or goddess. A chair is thrown. In moments, the bar errupts into chaos.

The barfight quickly overtakes every square foot of the bar and some distance outside of it as well. You are going to have to fight your way free.

Bar Fight! Round 1.Bold may act.

Effects: Each dashed section represents part of a complex hazard: each section can be disabled (2-action) with Intimidation or Diplomacy or by dealing 8 HP of damage to a section.

Bashii lunges forward, swiping the Blue Tengu with a claw and the bar patrons with another.

Claw vs Blue: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Slash, Sneak?: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 4) + 1 = 11

◆ Stride

The goal is to pacify each section and get through the whole bar? Can we just move from one section to the next without calming it?

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Hero Point: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

Princess Sunset weaves through the crowd as she hops off of the table. "Calm down. Let's play!" She calls out smiling as several spiders are seen calmly weaving a web inside the orb of her broken face.

Jig moves over to the red tengu and attempts to remove its soul form its body.

Stride, Cast eject soul
DC 16 Fortitude

"Oh deary, seems I have to get all angry now."Grammy struggles to her feat and then launches a blast of ligning around the table, trying to get people to stop.

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

Gwen gives a throaty laugh as she sees the brawl break out around her. She flashes some teeth as she gives a hungry grin. "Oh, now this will be some fun!" She snaps her fingers and fire erupts across the table nearest them.

Produce Flame: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Bar is not difficult terrain.

Catching the Hei Feng priest by surprise, Bashii drops the tengu with a single swipe of his claws. He grazes another patron as they barrel past (immune to precision).

The creepy doll, Princess Sunset, paradoxically gets the bar patrons nearby to settle down. She clearly has otherworldly psychic powers. This leaves a few nearby tengu who are a little more drunk and unruly than the rest (I forgot the CR adjustment, adding them to the end of initiative).

The red garbed priest resists Jig's efforts to eject his soul!

Grammy shocks several people in the nearby brawl.

Produce flame requires a Spell Attack roll.
Gwen-bot Spell Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Gwen scares off the rest of the brawlers in the nearby area.

The red garbed tengu priest cuts Jig across the neck dangerously close to a vital vessel (crit) then pecks him in the face.

How did Bashii get hit?

Growling with anger, Bashii slashes his claws at the newcomer (New Blue Tengu) to try to get out of the way.

Claws vs Blue: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Slash: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

If Blue is new, then surprise attack should apply?

Bashii scrambles backwards to get out of the way.

◆◆ Strike
◆ Stride

Princess Sunset calmly walks towards the next crowd. "Come play with us." She smiles a beaming smile up at the men crushing glassed mugs inot each other as her eyes glow purple with psychic energy. her mind melding with the crowds to try and calm them down.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

"Ack, my face! Jig waves the tengu away and heals himself, then bites at the offending bargoer.

heal: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

jaws: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 for piercing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Grammy weaves a spell sign around her fingers and shoots a bolt of green healing energy at Bashi, then turns around an tries to Deck a tavern patron.

"Out of our way!" Gwen cackles, tugging at her scarf. She flips out her hand and lightning crackles between two of the tengu.

Electric Arc vs Yellow and Blue (Reflex DC18): 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

If that drops Blue, Gwen will try to move past and down the steps. If it doesn't she will demoralize Blue.

◆◆ Electric Arc Yellow and Blue
◆ Move or Demoralize

Bashii slashes the priest of Hei Feng deeply then stumbles before strategically repositioning himself. Jig puts his face back together and then bites the tengu in front of him. Grammy channels vital energy into Bashii and swings at a nearby priest, but someone throws a chair at the same time, and the furniture intercepts the punch. Gwen electrocutes one of the priests of Hei Feng--you would think they would be resistant to that--while another one narrowly leaps out of the way.

Meanwhile, Princess Sunset calmly walks through the madness to the nearest brawl not involving you and politely asks them to play. While they do not oblige, they are so disturbed by her presence that they sober up really fast and start cleaning up after themselves.

The red robed priest slashes and pecks at Jig. The scimitar cuts the goblin across the neck, and then a lightning bolt descends to smite him and Grammy. When the light fades, it is difficult to say if Jig is conscious or not.

The priest with a yellow belt chases after Gwen. The changeling deflects his sword, but he manages to nick her with his beak. A wine bottle comes flying out of the distant crowd toward her head.

The one with a green sash follows after Bashii, but the amurrun nimbly dodges every blow.

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Is that you, Mr. Jackal?

The goblin sways, woozily. It's not quite time to meet his judgement...yet.

He takes another bite at his attacker.

Jig flirts with unconsciousness and then rallies as the underworld restores his body and vigor. He then bites the storm priest again, making that one woozy from blood loss.

Gwen blinks as the bottle hits her but just shrugs it off. She snarls at the tengu who chased her. "Oh, you want to be my playmate?" She grins with vicious teeth, as electricity erupts from her hand.

Electric Arc Yellow and Red (Reflex DC18): 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Bashii cuts the tengu priest wearing a green sash.

Grammy spends all three actions trying to hobble out of the bar

Tripple move

Grammy channels the lightning through her staff and into the floor. Then she goes... where she goes.

The tengu with a green sash swings his scimitar wildly at Bashii but mostly just makes a fool of himself.

Someone in the brawl that Grammy walked into trips as he swings at another patron and slashes the half-orc's arm.

A bucket of water(?) spills in Bashii's corner of the bar.

Gwen looks with hunger and amusement at Jig and Bashii surrounding the tengu. But then she distracted by Grammy being hit in the bar fight and growls to herself. She moves after both Grammy and tries to keep any eyes on the animated doll too. She ducks behind a table to put it between her and any unruly patrons.

◆ Move

Bar Fight!

You make your way out of the bar and flee across the island back to the docks before any of the seedy tavern patrons can take note of you or the thugs in the dark alley take advantage of your harried state. You have the contract successfully sign and secured in your care.

At the docks, the dwarf dive fisher looks grumpy when you ask for a return to the Glorious Payoff. "Just got here... haven't had time to sell my haul," she grumbles. "But probable best to get out of here after being in a fight as large as you say."

You load into her boat, and she sails out into the night. The trip is faster since she is not stopping to dive into the water every half hour. You arrive at the sandbar. As you disembark and sort yourselves out on the little strip of sand, the dwarf tosses you sack of dried squid and a jar of fresh water. "Take care!"

Off she goes.

It is a full day later before a ship sails by and sends a rowboat to collect you. They are not Pathfinders, but they assure you that the Society paid for them to collect you and bring you to port in Absalom.
