[PF2 / GMGlyn] B.Box - Menace in Otari (Inactive)

Game Master GHembree

Perrik nods. "So this is three times we've heard of them in the area." He ponders for a moment. "Do you think the Leadbuster Lads are in that castle ruin?"

It stands to reason. the orc states.

Dragging the dead dwarf’s body into the bushes the druid transformed into a predator and mauled the body to cover his real death with fists and sword.

Perrik recounts the incident about the bugbear mercenary hired by the Leadbuster Lads who gave him some hellhounds to burn down the flume.

Mikhail treats wounds again before getting to the logging camp. Goxomas is much improved and Mikhail is fully healed.

Tain feels anxious about leaving the unfinished business at the castle. He recalls the farm being attacked by the fire wolf.

Perrk nods asking if they think the Leadbusters Lads are in the castle ruins.

Argigoth agrees with the reasoning.

Jollibin nods ” It Does seem like the incidents are related, I’d like to find these Leadbuster lads and ‘axe’ them some questions.” as he hefts his Axe in his hands.

About this time you hear a howl and yelling as the camp is attacked from all sides.

***** Combat Starts ****

A flaming hound and a couple of giant rats with red fur attack Jollibin and his lumberjacks. Jolibin calls upon his lumberjacks to target the flaming dog.

An armored dwarf and a pack of big red rats jump out of the woods heading toward your group.
The dwarf yells ” We’ve got to cut them all down show no mercy!”

The dwarf armed with a burning dagger moves forward praying to Asmodeus to strike the fighter with fear. (Tain roll a DC21 Will save vs Fear spell)

Olli yells out ” We are being attacked! Use the fireball spell!” The sparkly winged snake slips under the wagon tarp for cover and peeks out at the battle.

Argigoth and Perrik can act before the brimstone rats. Tain needs to roll a will save.

Will, DC 21: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Was the dwarf who cast the spell the black one to the south of us?

The orc calls upon his connection to nature to cast casts frostbite on the dwarf who is casting spells

An orb of biting cold coalesces around your target, freezing its body. The target takes 2d4 cold damage with a basic Fortitude save. On a critical failure, the target also gains weakness 1 to bludgeoning until the start of your next turn.
3d4 ⇒ (4, 2, 2) = 8 cold

DC 19 FORT

He then moves up to the dwarf

Was the dwarf who cast the spell the black one to the south of us?

Yes, the dwarf with the black outline was the one that cast fear on Tain.

Perrik calls upon his patron's blessing for the party (casting bless ◆◆), then raises a divine shield to protect himself ◆.

Tain heart is gripped with fear as the dwarf invokes the power of Asmodeus, but he is a brave fighter so he has some resistance. (Frightened 2 reduced to Frightened 1 due to bravery)

Argigoth calls upon the elements of nature to freeze the dwarf with an orb of biting cold. As the orb coalesces around Hargrit the dwarf shrugs off as he resists some of the effects of the cold, ” Arrg, You’ll have to do better than that orc boy, I’ve been to the glacier caves under dark.”

Perrik calls upon his patron’s blessing and raises a divine shield.

The big demonic rats swarm out attacking the party

The Blue Rat targets Perrik sharp teeth missing twice.

The Yellow Rat scurrying over the wood pile zeros in on Gox missing with the first attack, but critically biting the monk with the second leaving a nasty wound.

The purple rat races around the wood pile to attack Mikhail just missing the war-priest with the first attack and clear miss with the second.

The green rat also goes for Mikhail barely hitting the priest on the first attack followed by a miss.

The Magenta rat slips between the two wood piles heading straight for Tain the first attack just hits because of the fighter’s frightened condition and the second one misses.

Olli Peeks out from under the wagon tarp.

Goxomas, Tain, Celosia, and Mikhail can now act.

* Mikhail AC20 (35-2= 33/35hp)

You also see the Hell-hound move in and breathe a firey breath on the lumberjacks many of them are having to pat out their beards and sporting severe burns.

The rats follow the hell-hound in nipping at the flanks of the lumberjack line.

No slouches the lumberjacks step up the rats and hellhound swinging their axes and getting a few good hits in.

It looks like a nail-biter of a melee.

Goxomas will take a drink (entering Stumbling Stance).

He will then move up to Hargit.

Then he will flurry (w/bless): 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 = 12for: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 bludgeoning.
... and (w/bless): 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 1 - 4 = 8for: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 bludgeoning.

Wowzers!

Did he crit save?

Goxomas will take a drink (entering Stumbling Stance).

He will then move up to Hargit.

Then he will [dice=flurry (w/bless)]1d20+10+1[dice=for]1d8+2 bludgeoning.

Wowzers!

[ooc\ No flank? [/ooc]

Tain gets to work winnowing the rats. Mindful of being flanked himself by the other nearby rats, Tain holds his ground and slashes the rat closest [pinky/magenta/adjacent to Tain], then, again being tactically minded for the long haul, raises his shield.

If it doesn’t die…

”Let’s finish this one Mikhail!” he yells to his companion.

I’m working on the assumption that Tain had his sword sheathed during polite conversation, but his shield on hand…

◆ Interact (Draw Weapon) ◆ Strike ◆ Raise Shield

Skrtskt!!!: 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 1 = 22
Spltsht!!!: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 [There is also +1 fire damage but I guess these vermin are immune…]

Hearing Tain shout at him, Mikhail swings with his dagger and the same rat Tain just struck.

◆Dagger;Damage: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 = 161d6 ⇒ 5

He then reaches out and touches Tain's sword, imbuing with runic power.

◆◆Runic Weapon (Tain's weapon becomes a +1 striking weapon (+1 to attack and +1 weapon dice to damage) for 1 minute.)

Did he crit save?

(saved took 4pts, I just failed to properly record it.)

Goxomas takes a drink and stumbles up to Hargit. Fist flie in every direction except where the dwarf is.
The dwarf chuckles ” Perhaps you should lay off the catnip.”

Tain targets the rats by drawing and swinging his sword. It's a solid hit on the magenta rat leaving a nasty cut, but the rat is still moving. As Tain expected the fire damage didn’t seem to do anything to the rat. As he raises his shield the effects of the fear wear off.

Celosia, and Mikhail can still act.

Round 2 A
Hargrit LeadBuster (black) (-4= -4hp)

Mikhail did act, post above yours…

The leshy mutters uncomplimentary things about the dwarf as she pulls energy into her body. She glares at him...

Intimidating Glare vs. Will DC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

...then tells a really awful joke. "How can you make the little things in life count? By teaching a dwarf math."

Laughing Fit, Will save vs. DC 19

LOL

(Some how I missed Mikhail’s post on my Monday’s post.)

Hearing Tain, Mikhail stabs the same rat with his dagger killing it. The war-priest then touches Tain’s sword enhancing its power.

Olli blushes from the words from the leshy as it mutters about the dwarf. Celosia glares at the dwarf with her best intimidating look. The dwarf stares back almost looking away, but manages to hold his fear in check. Then she tells him an awful joke about teaching a dwarf math, Hargirt begins to laugh and chuckle uncontrollably (success. Can’t use reactions for duration. Note duration is sustained)

From behind the tent and wood pile to the north, another Dwarf (Gray) looking like a brother of Hargirt fires a hand crossbow from hiding at Mikhail critically hitting the war-priest as the bolt embeds deeply into his body. The new sneaky Dwarf then reloads the crossbow and tries to hide behind the tent again, but fails.

The dwarf in black steps back and casts a spell creating a gout of flame to spray from his mouth covering both Argigoth and Goxomas in fire. The dwarf continues to chuckle at Celosia’s joke.
(Argigoth & Goxomas Basic Reflex DC21 save vs fire )

Olli peeks out from under the wagon tarp " Are we winning? I can't look" the little scaliwing ducks back under the tarp.

Argigoth and Perrik can now act

Round 2 A
Hargrit LeadBuster (black) (-4= -4hp) (Laughing fit: Can't use reactions for duration. by Celosia)

Reflex DC 21: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Perrik devotes some attention to extending Pharasma's blessings, then retreats behind Mikhail and applies bandages to the wounded warpriest.

DC 15 Medicine check for Treat Wounds using Battle Medicine: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

HP cured, including critical success: 2d8 + 2d8 ⇒ (6, 6) + (2, 4) = 18

We are going to have to play this smart, set up flanks when possible, demoralize, things like that.

GM, are the other people helping out or are we facing all those fire rats and the dwarves by ourselves?

Reflex 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

He then casts runic body on himself and moves up trying to set up a flank

Goxomas manages to avoid some of the dwarf’s fire getting only a little fur singed.

Argigoth fails to dodge the dwarf’s fire and takes full effect looking a bit toasty.

Perrik extends Pharasma’s blessing and retreats to Mikhail where he slaps bandages onto the warpriest. Mikhail looks almost as good as new.

Argigoth uses his nature’s magic to cast runic body on himself and moves to one side of jovial Hargrit hoping Gox takes the flank.

The hellhound lunges at the lumberjacks teeth ripping flesh. The brimstone rats snap at the lumberjacks heels as they battle the hound. The lumberjacks surrounded the hellhound trying to chop it with axes but the hound is fast, able to dodge most blows with ease. Jollibin gets a solid blow in on the hound. While wounded, no jumberjacks have gone down yet, but neither have the rats or hellhound.
(The lumberjacks and their foes battle is happing in the background and they are fairing about well as your group vs the dwarfs and rats.)

Ollie pokes her head out long enough to yell encouragement ” Keep fighting! I think you are about to start winning and remember don’t die!”

The blue rat steps up to snap at Celosia it really prefers salad anyway as it hits with the first bite and then really digs in for the second bite with a critical. (Got any ranch dressing to go with the meal)

The yellow rat steps up to gnaw on Tain trying to get to the chewy center. The first bite hits flesh, but the second is blocked by armor.

Both the Green and Purple rats continue to attack Mikhail. The purple rat misses all three times, but the green rat bites the warprest twice leaving nasty wounds.

Goxomas, Tain, Celosia, and Mikhail can now act.

◆

Why are you flanking the rat???????

So that Tain gets the flanking bonus

BTW, I did not include the Bless, above

Okay, the spellcaster is the bigger threat but whatever. I had everything set up for you to flank the dwarf. I will keep this is in mind for future combats.

Ahh. Maybe next time suggest who you would like to have do what. I would certainly have gone after the Dwarf, if suggested.

Even the GM suggested it

Tain tries to quickly remove as many of the rats as possible with his now empowered weapon...

◆ Strike (vs. yellow) ◆ Lunge (vs. green)

Siskk!!!: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 1 = 28 [+1 from bless] [Possibly vs. Off-guard if Gox is here...]
Kshht!!!: 2d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6, 2) + 3 + 1 = 12 [Ignore the +1 from fire...]

Tiskth!!!: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 1 - 5 = 17 [+1 from bless]
Shthk!!!: 2d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4, 6) + 3 + 1 = 14 [Ignore the +1 from fire...]

If both are dead then Tain will ◆ Stride South 25' to aid Argigoth..., if not he will ◆ Raise Shield

Mikhail, thinking that the spellcaster may be easier to hit, moves down to help Argigoth.

◆Stride
◆Stride
◆Attack; Damage: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 261d6 ⇒ 4

That is a nice hit. I would think that spells that are not FORT based or touch spells will impact the crossbow man better

Goxomas moves to flank the blue rat and turns it into rat paste with a flurry of well-placed punches. Blue rat is dead. The Monk moves to flank Yellow rat.

Argigoth gives Goxomas a ‘What are you doing’ look. Gox nods at Tain and the rat. Argigoth nods harder at the dwarf cleric. Gox gives a ‘why didn’t you say so’ shrug. Argigoth rolls his eyes.

Tain easily dispatches the yellow rat and then dispatches the green rat with a lunge. The warrior moves to aid Argigoth.

Thinking the dwarf would be easier to hit, Mikhail moves to help Argigoth by stabbing Hargrit with his dagger. The dwarf grunts from the wound giving the warpriest a stink-eye look.

Argigoth nods at Mikhail’s dagger work, then makes a complicated series of nods towards the crossbow-wielding dwarf.

BOT:
Celosia sustains the laughing fit magic on the dwarf then sends an electrical arc at the hidden crossbow-wielding dwarf and the purple rat. elec Arc: 3d4 ⇒ (4, 4, 4) = 12
Both the rat and dwarf partially resist the electric jolt.

The crossbow-wielding dwarf pops out from behind the tent and winks at Argigoth just before he shoots Perrk hitting the cleric then reloads and ducks back into cover this time successfully hiding from everyone.

The spellcasting dwarf steps to the south, pulling his dagger then stabs at Argigoth missing the druid.

Olli pokes his head out from under the wagon tarp ” Yeah the rats are nearly gone!”

The Lumberjacks manage to kill one of their rats.

Argigoth and Perrik can now act.

Omblin Leadbuster (Gray) (-6= -6hp) (hidden)

Let me take a look at the map and people's positions

This is the first time I have used this so I hope that it works

The druid uses his connection to nature and sheds his form growing into the shape of an auroch.

He then attempts to gore the dwarf with his horns
1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 1 = 15 -2 AC on the dwarf for a flank +1 for runic body
3d8 + 1 ⇒ (5, 6, 4) + 1 = 16 P +1 die runic body

Perrik concentrates on extending Pharasma's blessings further yet, then invokes divine power against the dwarf spellcaster.

Divine lance attack, incl. bless and cover: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 - 4 = 22

Spirit damage, if applicable: 3d4 ⇒ (4, 2, 1) = 7

Primal energy surges around Argigoth as he sheds his orc form and morphs into a medium
Size four-legged auroch with a mean set of horns. The wild-shaped druid tries to gore the dwarf with his horns but misses probably because he is unfamiliar with his new shape.
(Runic body is an Item bonus doen’t stack/work with Battle Form)

Perrik concentrates on extending the blessing further 10ft to 35ft total followed by hitting Hargrit with a Divine lance. The dwarf snarls in pain between his bouts of laughing.
(characters only provide lesser cover +1 ac)

The Purple rat hisses as it steps up threatening Perrik with his sharp teeth. The first bite misses, but the second one hits flesh and blood with a painfully deep wound on the cleric.

The lumberjacks attack the hellhound helped by Perriks blessing and manage to get two good hits on the fiery creature. The rat and hound are wounded but still fighting. The lumberjacks bear wounds from the battle, but none have fallen yet.

Goxomas, Tain, Celosia, and Mikhail can now act.

Round 4 A
Hargrit LeadBuster (black) (-4-4-7= -15hp) (Laughing fit: Can't use reactions for duration. by Celosia)
Argigoth AC20 (38/42hp) (Runic Body)(battle form Animal Bull)
Perrik AC17 (31-7= 24/36hp)
Round 3 B
Blue Rat (-22-12= -34hp)
Yellow Rat (-24= -24hp)
purple rat (-6= -6hp)
green rat (14= 14hp)
Magenta rat (-6-5= -11hp)
* Goxomas AC21 (23/41hp) (Stumbling Stance)
* Tain AC20 (35/42hp) (Runic Weapon +1 striking)
* Celosia AC17 (20/32hp)
* Mikhail AC20 (19/35hp)
Omblin Leadbuster (Gray) (-6= -6hp) (hidden)

Mikhail raises his dagger and stabs twice at the Leadbuster between himself and Argigoth. He then raises his shield to guard against any attacks from the dwarf.

◆Dagger: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 241d6 ⇒ 1
◆Dagger: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 171d6 ⇒ 5
◆Raise Shield (AC 22)

◆◆ Stride twice

◆ Flurry of swings: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 211d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 4 = 12
Bludgeoning damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 81d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Is that a building between the halfling and the leshy and the crossbowman? If it provides cover, I would recommend taking some.

Tain follows Gox’s flanking, and after activating his magic blade, lunges in to slash at the Leadbuster dwarf. And then again…

◆ Interact (activate smoking longsword) ◆ Lunge ◆ Lunge

Fshaow!!!: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 [vs. Off-guard]
Fszhakst!!!: 2d8 + 1d6 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3) + (3) + 1 + 3 = 13 [runic weapon, flame]

Szkii!!!: 1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 10 - 5 = 16 [vs. Off-guard]
Szhipskt!!!: 2d8 + 1d6 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (8, 8) + (5) + 1 + 3 = 25 [runic weapon, flame]

Mikhail stabs twice at the Leadbuster brother hitting once before raising his shield.

Goxoma moves to flank the dwarf and unleashes a flurry of punches. Only the first one lands a solid blow.

Tain activates his smoking sword causing it to burst into flames just before he swings twice. The first lunge hits the manic dwarf. Causing a burning slash of a wound.

The dwarf curses in pain from the many wounds as he laughs at Celosia’s magic joke.

BOT:
Again Celosia sustains the laughing fit magic on the dwarf then sends an electrical arc at the hidden crossbow-wielding dwarf and the purple rat. elec Arc: 3d4 ⇒ (1, 2, 1) = 4 miss chance flat DC11: 1d20 ⇒ 16
The rat critically avoids the electric jolt taking no damage, but the dwarf partially resists taking a small shock.

The laughing dwarf moves away from the group and takes the opportunity to heal himself with magic. (His stride creates an opening for an opportunity of attack from those who can. Tain)

Omblin peeks out from hiding to shoot Perrk with his crossbow, before reloading and failing to hide again. The bolt hits Perrk causing an excruciating wound.

The lumberjacks continue to battle the hellhound and rat but the battle seems to be making no headway.

Olli peeks out from the wagon tarp, ” Wiggle your fingers and cast fireball just like I taught you!”

Argigoth and Perrik can now act.

Round 4 A

Celosia AC17 (20/32hp)
Mikhail AC20 (19/35hp)
Omblin Leadbuster (Gray) (-6-2= -8hp)

These dwarves are a pain in the butt

Seeing the dwarven spellcaster attempt to get away, the orc*auroch attempts to cut off his escape by running in front of him.

He then attempts to gore
1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 1 = 30 horns + bless
2d8 + 1 ⇒ (2, 4) + 1 = 7 P

And then again
1d20 + 9 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 9 - 5 + 1 = 14 horns plus bless
2d8 + 1 ⇒ (2, 5) + 1 = 8 P

Nice crit Argigoth!

Reactive Strike

Tain manages to slash the escaping dwarf…

Zeirtch!!!: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 1 = 29 [vs Off-guard]
Ktchtsk!!!: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 6) + 3 = 12

Possibly a critical? But also possibly Tain shouldn’t get a Reactive Strike given the dwarf wasn’t adjacent to Tain - Tain used Lunge to attack last round - not sure if you threaten a Reactive Strike that way…

I hope that the crits get him and get him good!

Tain - lunge increase reach for the strike only. Not all the time. You do hit (not crit) him as he moves past by, but not in flank.

Tain strikes the dwarf as he moves by the fighter making him look very injured, but not enough to drop him.

Argigoth moves to cut off the dwarf’s escape and critically gores the dwarf undoing most of his healing. The second attack misses. The dwarf is looking very bloody but is still up.

Perrik can now act.
