PbP Gameday XII - Heroes for Highdelve - GM NOWRUZ (Inactive)

Game Master noral

There is still the hut.

"The footprints going in and out of the hut. I think we should check it out first before we go inside the cave..."

Torgen opens the door.

You enter to find it unoccupied, a dirty bedroll in one corner along with three daggers and 6 days' worth of trail rations.

"Found some daggers, some rations and a dirty bedroll..."

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21 (+2 to notice unusual stonework)

Wow. I will certainly miss these high rolls later in combat...

"... wait. There's something hidden in the wall behind it!"

Torgen pulls out the bundle and scatters the items on the bedroll.

"There's potions, a scroll and some kind of journal! Come and take a look, guys!"

Torgen starts to read the journal.

You may open the spoiler to examine the items.

Take 10 on the potions
Spellcraft scroll: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Teolish waived his hand over the potions, saying a few words as he looked them over.
"Here Kyra, some extra help in case one of the others goes down. I will keep one just in case you go down." he said, placing one of them in his belt pouch before turning his attention to the scroll. As he looked it over he started to frown.

"This is a scroll that can cause a beam of fire to strike a foe. Might come in handy...for a wizard.".

Good to have extra supplies in case things go bad...hopefully they don't... Kyra says with a half smile, the optimist in her showing.

Maybe give one of them to Torgen...in case I can't get to him. What does the journal say...

- demonic god? What is this? It seems like these two youngs are .. evil

Torgen starts again to read the journal, this time loud and to hear for everyone in the party:

"'Oh my...' Yeah, it really starts with these words. 'Oh my dear demonic god. These stupid kids are hated in town but the roots of mistrust were enough to convince them to join my mother's plan to attack the jubilee and circumvent the dragon's protection. They beat up the flower pickers, but they let them escape alive! But we retrieved the amulet and together with mother's sacrifice this will be enough to protect the beast in the cave from the dragon's wrath.' WHAT THE F... DID I JUST READ?"

"This is a scroll that can cause a beam of fire to strike a foe. Might come in handy...for a wizard.".

"Although I am not a wizard I might be able to make use of the scroll."

Torgen starts again to read the journal, this time loud and to hear for everyone in the party:

"'Oh my...' Yeah, it really starts with these words. 'Oh my dear demonic god. These stupid kids are hated in town but the roots of mistrust were enough to convince them to join my mother's plan to attack the jubilee and circumvent the dragon's protection. They beat up the flower pickers, but they let them escape alive! But we retrieved the amulet and together with mother's sacrifice this will be enough to protect the beast in the cave from the dragon's wrath.' WHAT THE F... DID I JUST READ?"

Addressing Torgen and Kiliuk, "Perhaps not evil but mislead into serving evil. They already disobeyed orders in letting Kameer and Kara live so there remains hope for them. Remember we were sent here to guide them, not kill them. Although this plot they've become entangled with is a significant problem. Using magic to protect 'The Beast' from Aurelliax's wrath? That means Aurelliax would be vulnerable to 'The Beast' - whatever it is."

Kyra has a concerned look on her face.

We must see what we can do to save theses kids..they can repent their misdeeds and move on with their life....hopefully...

"On to the cave? Again I'd recommend preparing ourselves; this 'Beast' sounds fearsome."

percep: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

I am in the campsite but if I have the surprise round, I going to move near the rock -I put an arrow showing the move-

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

And of course saying something to my partners "Look there is something exiting the cave"

And of course saying something to my partners "Look there is something exiting the cave"

Thanks! Some of us are in the hut and have no idea what's going on outside. :)

Hearing Kiliuk's warning, Kageryu exits the hut.

Hmm? Oh...not good... Kyra says as she drops wat she was doing and joins Kiliuk

"Hopefully it's just the kids..."

Torgen follows Kyra outside.

Teolish shrugged and headed outside with the others/

Round 1

1. All PCs -> GO!
2. Enemies

The half-orc moves quickily, near of the archers.

- Surrrender or I am going to smash you!

doble move, I count also move indicated in the surprise round -if it is not possible, 5 square less-

Theolish looked bored of the whole thing as the arrows flew past. Turning towards the archer closest to him, he acted like he was yawing.

Slumber hex on I guess that is Torgen? DC 16 Will save or sleep for two rounds.

You are not within 30 feet I think.

I really hope you want to put Tolwin (or Richelle) to sleep and not me, your trusty dwarven fighter sidekick... ;-)

Torgen starts to hustle towards the one threat he can perceive.
full-round action Run (see map).

Although my icon isn't there Kageryu was just exiting the hut after hearing Kiliuk's warning so moving him from the door of the hut.

Kageryu's hair moves from the rush of the arrows whizzing past him.

"A most unwelcome welcome."

Kageryu casts Shield upon himself and then moves towards where the arrows were fired, drawing his sap along the way.

Kyra moves up and tries to reason with the misguided youths.

Don't do something you will regret...give up...we can help you...

diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18can someone add me on the map please? pon my phone right now...ty! i trust your judgement...

[dice=diplomacy]1d20+6can someone add me on the map please? pon my phone right now...ty! i trust your judgement...

Did you want Kyra to move also?

yes please

At work on my tablet. Please move me towards the nearest target

@Teloish: I (double) moved you.

Thank you!

yes please

I gave her most of her move speed but placed her somewhere she will have some partial cover from Kageryu in case of more arrows.

1. Enemies

The two figures let arrows flying in your direction again. One arrow hits Teloish’s chest and he’s bleeding!

Longbow @torgen: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Longbow damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Longbow@ Teloish: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Longbow damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

2. Enemies

Please track your own hit points.

Kiliuk moves near one of the archers and try to hit her (non-lethal) without luck.

mace non lethal: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 81d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Not happy to get an arrow to his chest, Theolish moved around the rocks to get a good view of the archer before acting like he was yawing.

DC 16 Will save vs Slumber hex.

Kiliuk moves near one of the archers and try to hit her (non-lethal) without luck.

[dice=mace non lethal] 1d20-1; 1d8+2

Might I suggest using one of the loaned saps next round? That way you don't take the -4 penalty for subdual.

Seeing Theolish take an arrow to the chest, Kageryu hurries to interpose himself between Theolish and the archer.

"We are here to help you but we cannot do so until you stop attacking us."

@GM: Kageryu did a double move so he doesn't have an action left for a Diplomacy check (which he'd probably fail anyway).

Torgen drops his axe, moves up to the female archer (Richelle, he presumes), drawing one of the saps he got loaned. He then swings it at her.

Sap: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Bludgeoning, nonlethal: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

"Why are you attacking us? Surrender now before you get seriously hurt!"

Will: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Suddenly, one of the hooded attackers falls asleep and you now see that it is a young boy.

Torgen hits the second figure and sees a young girl who cries out after being hit.

7 nl

You're going to get yourself hurt playing these foolish games..give up...for the love of Sarenrae... Kyra pleads.

diplo: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Kyra feels that there is no response from the girl.

1. Enemies

The girl steps back and shoots another arrow hits Torgen’s arm and he’s bleeding!

Longbow @torgen: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Longbow damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Thanks, I remember that we have saps, but I imagine Kiliuk so stressful for trying not harming them that he uses his own weapon

Watching Torgen using the sap, Kiliuk throws his mace and uses his own sap.

- SURRENDERRR! NOW!! OR YOU ARE GOING TO CRY!!!

mace non lethal: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 211d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

With Kageryu Takeda next to the prone figure, Theolish pulled out a silver wand with a black tip and touched the arrow wound with it. "Please tie them up while I take care of the injury" he said.

Inflict light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Kageryu takes away the boy's weapons and uses his rope to begin tying his hands together.

"Ouch! That hurt!"

Torgen drops his warhammer and moves (in theory provoking an AoO for movement) behind the archer while drawing the other sap. He then swings it at her.

Sap, flanking: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7
Bludgeoning, nonlethal: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Really? A nat 1? Now?

Kyra moves up.

Remember..don't hurt them!

double move

The mace hits the girl hard but she is not down, yet! And Torgen misses her.

stealth : 1d20 + 8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 10 = 23
perception Torgen : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Suddenly, from behind a boulder a cloaked figure with horn and a white face appears!

His shortsword targets Torgen’s back and pierces his lungs. Blood is everywhere and the dwarf drops to the ground.

short sword vs flat footed AC : 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 1 + (6) = 12

“Kill them!!! Kill them all Richelle!!“ the Tiefling shouts.

The girls drops her bow and draws her long sword and attacks Kiliuk but the barbarian is not easily hit!!

long sword : 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

You are all up. Torgen has to make a stabilization roll.

Kiliuk shouts:

THIS ENDS NOW! LEFT TORGEN! FIGHT WITH ME!

Kiliuk seems very angry and uses his sap trying to put KO Richelle.

rage + Power At: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 141d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

rage 1/8 ; Power Attack
