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

Game Master GHembree

Goxomas will attempt to retch out his sickness: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 - 1 = 15

Then, Goxomas will make a feint attempt vs. Yellow's Perception DC: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 - 1 = 12

Then, Goxomas will make a flurry of swings: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 - 1 = 231d20 + 7 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 7 - 1 - 4 = 10

Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 51d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

I feel our last valiant foe may be dead. Will wait for confirmation from our good GM…

Goxomas finishes off the last foe with a flurry of blows.

Checking the Xulgath's bodies you find a small bag tied to the waist of one of the foul creatures. Inside the leather pouch is a handful of strange coins, minted in some faraway kingdom. the coins show a tower inside a cave on one side and a sinister-looking elf’s head on the other. These coins amount to 38 sp and 4 gp.

Two passages lead out of this room, other than the way your group came in. One leads off the map, heading steadily down, deep into the earth.

The other passageway exiting this room looks like it was dug recently. This tunnel curves up and around before ending in a thin wall of loose stones and dirt. A tiny hole in the wall allows creatures to look into the room beyond
Peeking through the wall, you can see the kobolds in that area going about their daily routines. If they spend time listening to the kobolds’ chatter, the heroes overhear a few phrases, including

*** Combat is Over ***.

Goxomas AC19 (17/19hp) (light-Mikhail) (Sicken 1)[/b]
Mikhail AC17 (11-5= 6?/17hp) (bane 5ft) (Shield Block Reaction vs 5 damage?)
Ultima AC 14 (16/16hp) (light-Ultima)
Perrik AC 15 (15/15hp) (bless 15ft)
Celosia AC 14 (17/17hp)
Tain AC18 (18/18hp) (light-Perrik)

Mikhail is breathing quickly and bleeding from several wounds. He stops and pulls out his healing kit and begins applying some bandages to his wounds.

Treat Wounds: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 172d8 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

Tain hovers by Mikhail, unsure of what if anything he can do. He stammers to hide his nervousness. He ooints back the way the group came.

”S-so, we still have a few ways back there l-left unexplored. A-and, well, there’s that wall, with the devious planning kobolds behind it. Wh-what do we wanna do?”

"I have more lightning, but I'm not picky."

Fort DC 19 vs sickened: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Fort DC 19 vs sickened: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

"I don't like the idea of going deeper now, especially with the kobolds at our back. They could cut us off from the surface."

Packing up his bandages, Mikhail nods toward Perrik in agreement, "I agree Perrik, I don't like the idea of keeping the kobolds behind us."

Mikhail treats his wounds restoring himself to full health.

Tain asks which way the group should go.

Goxomas successfully clears his slicken condition.

Perrik and Mikhail don’t want to take the passage that leads deep underground when there are scheming Kobolds to fight at hand.

The group can:
1) backtrack and check out the passage from the first room on this level
2) Check out the flickering flame down the flooded tunnel
3) Break through the wall where they heard Kobolds talking through a tiny hole. (DC 20 Athletics check)

Celosia AC 14 (17/17hp)
Tain AC18 (18/18hp) (light-Perrik)

"I'd like to check out the passage from the first room on this level," Goxomas says.

Tain nods.

”I’m with Gox. Before we confront these kobolds we should try to get a better understanding of the layout…the kobolds mentioned something about a “fated egg” and “food for their pet”. I think…”

Celosia shrugs and follows along.

Returning to the first room of this level where two Kobolds ambushed your group, you move through the west hallway into a rectangular chamber that is in ruins, the center contains a fountain of pristine water with something glittering at the bottom. In the middle of the fountain is a marble statue of a mermaid, her lips pursed as if she were about to blow a kiss, or maybe whistle. Each corner of the pool has some sort of mechanism embedded in the stones, but the one in the southwest corner appears to be smashed.

Mikhail and Perrik realize the fountain is a trap that if anyone steps on squares adjacent to the fountain. You can safely bypass the trap or attempt to disable the trap but a failure would trigger the trap.

Status:
Goxomas AC19 (17/19hp) (light-Mikhail)

Perrik AC 15 (15/15hp)
Celosia AC 14 (17/17hp)
Tain AC18 (18/18hp) (light-Perrik)

Tain waves his sword hand around indicating the caverns generally before pointing at the stone figure. ”This whole underground….place….has a real thing for statuary, and…gods and goddesses. Is this another god?”

He peers at the smashed mechanism.

”Trapped?” he asks the room generally.

Perrik nods. "It looks that way. Don't step too close to the fountain--I think we can walk around it, though."

Mikhail nods in agreement with Perrik and then studies the statue for a few moments, racking his brain to see if he can answer Tain's question about it being a god.

Religion (Recall Knowledge): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Tain squints into the pool.

”Aaaand…there…seems to be something down there. It glints. Which, admittedly, is a bit…odd.”

Goxomas takes a long drink, waits for everyone to stand back, gets out the tools, and disables the trap: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Afterwards, Goxomas will get the shiny object.

Tain comments on the number of statues and statuaries in this place and wonders if this is dedicated to any gods.

Mikhail doesn’t think the fountain is religious, just a very clever mechanical trap.

Perrik believes the group can safely walk around the trap if they stay away from the fountain.

Tain sees the glint of something glittery at the bottom of the fountain.

The cat monk takes a drink from his jug before taking out his tools and begins work on disabling the fountain trap.

The good news is that he successfully disables one corner of the fountain!
As he starts to reach for the treasure there is a click, the bad news is that all four corners must be disabled or destroyed to fully disable the trap.

**** Combat started ****

The statue spins about ominously and stops pointing at Celosia. Out of the mouth of the Mermaid, a strong blast of water shoots out striking Celosia with enough force to damage her!

Everyone else may act.

Actions:
Attempt to disable (DC 20 Thievery check 2 actions) and/or
physically attack to destroy the devices at each corner of the fountain.

Round 1:
Goxomas AC19 (17/19hp) (light-Mikhail)
Mikhail AC17 (17/17hp)
Ultima AC 14 (16/16hp) (light-Ultima)
Perrik AC 15 (15/15hp)
Celosia AC 14 (17-7= 10/17hp)
Tain AC18 (18/18hp) (light-Perrik)

Fountain Corner Northwest
Fountain Corner Southeast
Fountain Corner Southwest (destroyed)
Fountain Corner Northeast (disabled)

Goxomas steps closer to the device

Disable: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Celosia squeaks as she gets drenched unexpectedly. "Ouch! Take that!" and she lets go a barrage of missiles at the nearest undamaged corner.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1, 1) + 3 = 8

Can Tain reach the statue by standing at the edge of the fountain and swinging at it? Does he realises he can just destroy the mechanisms or does someone who successfully understood the trap have to tell him?

I love the trap. I didn’t see it coming quote like this….

Before they enter can she tell them what she heard?

Perrik readies◆ and loads◆ his sling before sending a stone◆ at the last remaining intact trap!

Sling attack (T): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
B Damage, if applicable: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Mikhail moves to the corner (upper left) and tries to pry his dagger in to destroy the device.

◆Stride
◆Attack; Damage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 141d6 ⇒ 2

Goxomas moves to a corner device and quickly disables it leaving one device left.

Celosia recovering from the water blast quickly strikes the remaining corner device with a barrage of magic force missiles. While all the missiles hit the device seems to have barely resisted all the damage due to its hardness.

Tain - the fountain corners are the devices that need to be disarmed or destroyed to stop the trap. Unless you are using reach attacks you will need to move next to the corner device you are attacking. While the book doesn’t describe the devices in detail, I assume it's obvious that they are somehow responsible for triggering the fountain to attack your group.

Ultima takes this moment to share she heard what the Kobolds said in draconic when she listened to them at the small holes.

Perrik sends a sling stone flying at the trap device, but the stone goes wide missing its target.

Mikhail moves to the corner and strikes at the device with his dagger, but also misses.

Ultima and Tain can still act.

Actions:
Attempt to disable (DC 20 Thievery check 2 actions) and/or
physically attack to destroy the devices at each fountain corner.

Round 1:
Ultima AC 14 (16/16hp) (light-Ultima)
Tain AC18 (18/18hp) (light-Perrik)

Round 2:

Goxomas AC19 (17/19hp) (light-Mikhail)
Mikhail AC17 (17/17hp)
Perrik AC 15 (15/15hp)
Celosia AC 14 ( 10/17hp)

She will load her sling and fire
at the remaining trap
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
1d6 ⇒ 3 B

and then reload

Tain moved to smash the remaining device…

Whomp: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Krrmch: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Ultima loads and fires her sling at the fountain device. It hits but the stone bounces off harmlessly due to the trap’s hardness.

Tain moves up and tries to smash the device. It’s a solid hit, but again the trap hardness resists being damaged by the fighter’s sword leaving not even a scratch.

The statue spins about ominously spraying the East half of the room with water with a strong blast of water shooting from the mouth of the Mermaid hitting Ultima, Perrik, and Goxomas!
(Ultima, Perrik, and Goxomas make a basic reflex DC15 vs the water blast vs 9 bludgeoning damage.)

Everyone is up can can act.

Actions:
Attempt to disable (DC 20 Thievery check 2 actions) and/or
physically attack to destroy the devices at each fountain corner.

Round 2:
Goxomas AC19 (17/19hp) (light-Mikhail) (basic reflex DC15 vs the water blast vs 9 bludgeoning damage.)

Round 3:
Fountain Corner Northwest (-0 hp)
Fountain Corner Southeast (disabled)
Fountain Corner Southwest (destroyed)
Fountain Corner Northeast (disabled)

DC15 Reflex save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Goxomas will move over to the northwest corner, and attempt to disable the final part of the trap: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

DC 15 Reflex save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Perrik avoids some of the water blast.

Celosia scrambles out of the room, since there is nothing she can do to help this situation.

Goxomas dodges part of the water blast as he moves and disables the final part of the trap!

Perrik also doges part of the water blast

Celosia fled the room.

With the trap disarmed, Goxomas now can brave the cold 1-foot-deep water and retrieve the 28 cp, 8 sp, and 2 gp.

Combat is over - Ultima still has a reflex save to roll..

Tain AC18 (18/18hp) (light-Perrik)

Reflez1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

She will attempt a medicine check on her self 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 but her bonk from the water leaves her leaves understeady :)

Seeing several of his companions injured, Mikhail raises a prayer to Pharasma and a wave of healing energy emanates from him.

◆◆◆Heal
Healing: 1d8 ⇒ 8 Everyone within 30ft.

Ultima avoids some of the water blast damage.

Mikhail prays to Pharasma for help and she answers with a wave of healing energy that is powerful enough to heal everyone fully.

With the party healed your group moves further into the tunnel and as you open the door, the smell of rotten fish and mold wafts out. On the west side of this vast room is a large table with benches on either side. Old food scraps, dirty knives, and broken plates cover the table. Off to the east side, burrows have been dug into the wall to make small sleeping chambers filled with straw mats. This must be the kobolds’ warren!

The 6 Kobolds are ready to defend their cave having heard the commotion from the fountain room.

Tain uses a phrase from his translation book successfully asking them to put down their weapons and drink a cup of tea. The Kobolds look confused for a moment then yell with bloody enthusiasm for battle.

*** Combat Begins ***

Three of the Kobolds are quick and go before the heroes.

Yellow throws his spear at Tain, then draws and throws another one again. Both spears miss Tain.

Green also throws two spears but at Goxomas. The wobbly monk somehow avoids being hit by the spears.

Blue throws his spears at Perrik. This kobold knows how to throw spears because both hit the halfling cleric who remains standing despite his wounds.

Everyone may act now

Round 1
Ultima AC 14 (16/16hp) (light-Ultima)
Perrik AC 15 (15-2-6= 7/15hp)

Round 2
Yellow kobold (-0 hp)

Blue kobold (-0 hp)

Tain moves quickly to try to drop the (orange) kobold closest to him…

◆ Stride ◆ ◆ Power Attack

Hrnggg!!!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Hnkkkt!!!: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5) + 3 = 9

Taking a swig of wine, ◆ Goxomas enters the Stumbling Stance.

◆ He strides up.

◆ He makes a flurry of swings against Yellow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 131d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 7 - 4 = 13

The witch moves in quickly and assessing the situation, casts a dancing lighting arc that hits at 3 and 5

1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 electricity
DC 17 Reflex

Mikhail moves up next to Perrik, hoping to put himself between Perrik and anymore spears, raising his shield as he does, and strikes out at green.

◆ Stride
◆ Raise Shield
◆ Dagger: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 211d6 ⇒ 5

Just realised I add +8 *not* +7 to melee attacks, so that should be a 17 to hit…

Tain moves up and strikes down the orange kobold killing it in one blow.

Goxomas knocks back a swig from his jug as he strides up and makes two unsuccessful swings at the yellow kobold.

Ultima sends electricity dancing across yellow and green kobolds. Yellow avoids some of the damage but green takes a full charge.

Mikhail moves up and stabs the green kobold finishing it off.

Perrik and Celosia are still up to act.

Round 1
Ultima AC 14 (16/16hp) (light-Ultima)
Perrik AC 15 (15-2-6= 7/15hp)
Celosia AC 14 (17/17hp)

Round 2
Yellow kobold (-3 hp)
Green kobold (-6-5= -11 hp) (dead)
Blue kobold (-0 hp)

Poor wittle kobolfs

Gasping at the pain of the spear thrusts, Perrik calls forguidance◆ before attempting to treat his own wounds using Battle Medicine◆ and invoking divine defenses for himself◆.

Treat Wounds, including guidance: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 = 14

Ah, well.

Cast a spell (guidance)-treat wounds-cast a spell (shield)

Celosia moves up behind the strong, meaty ones and zzzorchs Yellow and Blue.

Electricity, DC 17: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Perrik calls for divine guidance as he attempts to treat his wounds, unfortunately, the treatment is ineffective.

Celosia scorches the yellow and blue kobolds with shocking magic. The Yellow one yepes as it takes partial damage, but the blue one manages to avoid the arc altogether taking no damage.

The black kobold snickers as it opens the chest next to it and retrieves a flask of liquid from the large chest before throwing it at Tain. Just missing the fighter the flask hits the square splashing oil all over the ground and making that ground slippery (Anyone moving into that square must make a DC10 acrobatics check or fall prone. Stepping does not need a check)

The Red Kobold throws its spear at Mikhail then reaches into the chest to grab an oil flask and throws it at Mikhail as well. Both hit the cleric leaving him wounded and covered in slippery oil. (Mikhail has trouble moving. Each time they Stride, they must attempt a DC 10 Acrobatics skill check. If they fail, they fall over and gain the prone condition instead of moving. The hero can Step, moving only 5 feet, without this check)

Blue Kobold draws another spear and throws it at Perrik, then grabs a spear from his fallen green comrade. The spear just barely misses Perrik due to his shield.

The Yellow Kobold draws a spear and stabs at Goxomas twice. Missing the Stumbling monk both times.

Everyone can act..

Round 2

Round 3
Yellow kobold (-3-4= -7 hp)
Green kobold (-11 hp) (dead)
Blue kobold (-0 hp)

Is Tain in the slippery square, and does someone striding out of it need to make the Acrobatics check?

Usually it's the square you step into that matters, so stepping out of grease shouldn't trigger anything. GM, can you mark the greasy squares?

"Hey, I can do that, too!" Celosia shouts as she glares at the kobolds, hopefully scaring them. A little.

Demoralize: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

She then casts Grease under the kobolds' feet. (targeting all four of them, Reflex or Acrobatics DC 17 or fall prone)

◆ Intimidating Glare
◆◆ Grease
