GM Frost's Q04 Port Peril Pub Crawl (Inactive)

Game Master Frozen Frost

Wait, are all of us supposed to rolling?

Wait, are all of us supposed to rolling?

only three I think

Apologies for being missing in action.

Can I use Devise a Stratagem, since it's an attack roll? I'm assuming she can't just sit there until she gets a good roll, so rolling in advance isn't useful, but getting to use her Int instead of Dex still might help.

Devise a Stratagem requires you to choose a creature to attack, so it will not be applicable here.

Wait, are all of us supposed to rolling?

Only three.

Folmyr gives the game a try and easily shoots close to the bull's eye. Stella takes her turn and scores the same. Success

Duvar attempts the next round but falls short of the dartboard. Stella chuckles, and shoots her darts better. Failure

Shimmer takes her chance to the competition but her aim is not as her ally sprite. Just realized we have two sprites here. Failure Stella easily wins the game by hitting the bull's eye this time.

She brings the party back to her table. "Not really impressed with your lot, to be honest. Maybe I was expecting too much." she tells them. "To make it worth my while, I will add a clause in the contract that requires the Society to give me the right of shipping and refusal on all the Society's finds in the region of northern Garund." After removing one of her gloves, she pricks her finger with a knife and writes her name in blood, with the clause she just stated.

After Fane rolls the contract back up and hands it to Folmyr, she looks around suspiciously. “Never can tell who’s watching—the Free Captains have eyes and ears everywhere. Best to be sure that if these lot remember anything about this night, it’s not that they saw us here together.” With that, Stella Fane sweeps her hat off her head in an exaggerated bow and bids them good night.

As Fane bows, she extends a leg behind her, tripping a nearby server. The server drops a plate of exquisitely prepared crab and raw fish, which lands across the faces of a nearby table of fishers—the same ones, in fact, who supplied the bounty used to prepare the dish. Enraged at the waste of food and livid with hunger, they lunge from their seats, inciting the rest of the tavern’s patrons into a raucous fight.

Fane then activates her cape of the mountebank and disappears in a puff of smoke!

Rolling initiatives...

Holding off the combat for now to resolve something.

We will proceed without Folmyr because he already played the quest. Total Challenge Points become 14.

"It's you!" the fisher 2 accuses the group and launches himself after drawing his knife. He then stabbies Jaehaera.

"Knives and spells!? They really take bar fights seriously here."

Shimmer draws her jezail, while looking for the best opening on the assailant she seems to have the best shot at.

Realizing that it will inevitably go awry, she takes a quick shot at another enemy--even if she has to aim off-center to make sure she doesn't hit Chakson.

* Devise a Stratagem: 1d20 ⇒ 2 against 2
* Draw jezail
* Strike 1 +1 Jezail (cover): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 for concussive piercing damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1 or 2xcrit damage: 1d12 ⇒ 8 + fatal: 1d12 ⇒ 7
Shimmer has no other reactions, and will use Fane's Reaction as soon as applicable.

Chakson flicks a few switches on his armor. Gears whirl and sputter and circuits are energized.

◆ Overdrive
Crafting (DC 15): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

But it sputters and stops. Drawing his long blade, he slashes at the one closest to him

◆ Interact (draw nodachi)

◆ Strike #2
Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16Slashing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Duvar will summon a skunk and spray the fishers (1,2,3), hoping it will be enough to descale the situation.

Spray Musk [two-actions] (poison) The skunk propels a stream of acrid musk in a 10-foot line. Each creature in the line must attempt a DC 16 Fortitude save.

◆◆◆ Summon Skunk

Shimmer is right to change her target, grazing her new target's arm with the bullet. Fisher 1 takes 1 B/P damage

Chakson brings his armor into overdrive but it starts releasing fumes, then nothing happens, fortunately. He then slashes at Fisher 2 that is within reach of his long weapon. Fisher 2 takes 5 S damage

Duvar summons an animal and the same sprays musk on the fishers!
Fisher 1: DC 16 Fortitude save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 Crit Fail, Sickened 2

Jaehaera draws her whip, and slashes at Fisher 2, knocking the same with her weapon's sonic boom. Fisher 2 is eliminated

Fisher 5 gets into position and sends an icy blast at Jaehaera!

Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 P damage to everyone except Shimmer (for using Fane's reaction)

Then, a cask behind Chakson and Tarkis suddenly ruptures as Yellow Square making the area slippery! Has effect of Grease (see below).

To make the situation worse for them, Fisher 1 sends an electric arc at them! DC 13 basic Reflex save vs 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 electricity damage to Chakson and Tarkis It then attempts to retch out the sickened feeling it has.
DC 15 Fortitude, Sickened 2: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 2 = 19 Success, becomes Sickened 1

At least, the Fisher is able to lessen the discomfort he is feeling.

Tarkis is now greasy and shocked. Pissed, he heals himself quickly then casts a Needle Dart spell at his assailant (Fisher 1).

Chakson stays standing, and unharmed buy the arc. Tarkis manages to stand on his ground as well to avoid falling down. But he seems to focus so much on the grease that he is unable to evade the arc. Tarkis takes 3 E damage. He heals himself for 8 HP and sends more needles to his target. Fisher 1 takes 7 P damage

Fisher 3 sends another electric arc, but this time to Duvar and his Prowler! DC 14 basic Reflex save vs 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 electricity damage to Duvar and Prowler

The greasy floor on top of everything really didn't want to make Shimmer get any closer. Enemies are one thing, stampeding crowds of giants were dangerous!

She doesn't have a clear shot, but if she watches for the right opening... Hardly a sure shot, there.
She snaps off a shot towards the sick one instead. Maybe it'll keep him from dodging.

Rereading the quest text, I am doing some major retconning here where the crowd goes wild. Disregard the 8 damage taken by everyone (and I am giving back Shimmer's Fane's reaction) and redo the attack. I should make an attack roll for each and those that are hit, I will just roll single damage for them. And the fishers should be affected as well. My bad.

Holding off the actions/saves after that post and resolving the actions afterward...

End of Retcon

She wants to calm down the crowd. Is that 2 actions or one?

Two actions. My bad, I should have put ways you can do to calm the crowd or something.

Jaehaera tries to calm the crowd but they are too unruly. She then Steps close.

Duvar is hit but Prowler is quick to evade the arc. Duvar for 4 E damage. Prowler is unharmed The druid moves to flank Fisher 1, pokes it and brings down the same. Fisher 1 out

Shimmer reloads, changes mind to shoot 3 and hits Fisher 1 Fisher 5 (changing it to Fisher 5 since Fisher 1 is eliminated at this point instead. Fisher 5 eliminated

Shimmer was certainly prepared to let the thug retreat. But then he kept attacking them! Only one thing to do about that. She reloads her weapon as she watches for an opening.

Chakson is really having a hard time bringing his armor into use. Even his attacks are missed.

Shimmer perfectly hits the spot to knock down the last fisher. Fisher 3 eliminated.

It looks like as long as everyone stays on the placated area for a round and then makes there next round to spend actions exiting, everyone will be unharmed so I am handwaving it.

With threats eliminated, though the crowd are still fighting one another, the Pathfinders makes their best to exit from the tavern.

ENCOUNTER OVER! WELL DONE!

Once they fight their way clear of the bar fight Fane started, they can make their way back to Hlar’s boat, contract in hand. The old diver is upset.

"Getting back to me so soon? You just arrived. I have not even stretched my legs." she complains but when she hears the commotion inside the tavern, "though it’s probably best to leave after you lot gets being involved in a brawl of that size."

She navigates the Pathfinders back to the sandbar she originally picked them up at, leaving them with some dried squid and a jar of fresh water. A day later, another commissioned ship travels by and offers to transport them to Absalom. There, they present Stella Fane’s contract to Venture-Captain Ambrus Valsin, notifying him that she’s agreed to aid the Society with passage through the blockade, and that the way to Vidrian is open. In gratitude for their service, Valsin presents them with an archaic wayfinder.

"I know you did your best, but this is much better, to stick with the contract with the provisions she added than none at all."
