[PFS]Redelia's Emerald Spire 15 and 16 (Inactive)

Game Master Redelia

”Oh feh,” Tess grumbled as the red enemy closed on her before she expected. She tries to cast dimension door defensively to get away from the threat.

Concentration check v DC 23 1d20 + 11 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 6 = 22
———

Folio reroll 1d20 + 11 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 6 = 21

At seeing her spell fizzle, she prepared to get gug’d.

Get ready to send healing Vidya

I'm not sure about how to interact with the Emerald Roots, so I'm going to put a couple options here and hope that I can get to the baddy. Things to note: I have a climb speed of 20' and a regular speed of 70' while hasted and it's 25' of horizontal distance.

Kahwen rushes to the aid of Tessara, nimbly dealing with the blocking roots of the emerald spire.

If jumping over the roots is possible:
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 27 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 27 + 5 = 52

If climbing over the roots is possible:
Climb: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (3) + 25 = 28

He twists as he gets close to avoid leaving himself vulnerable to an attack by the Gug.

Acrobatics (To Avoid AoO): 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (20) + 27 = 47

And then slashes the creature with his sword.

+2 keen shock elven curve blade: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21
Slashing: 1d10 + 15 + 6d6 ⇒ (10) + 15 + (5, 1, 5, 3, 2, 4) = 45 plus Electricity: 1d6 ⇒ 6

On the off chance that's a hit, if the target is subject to sneak attack damage I'll also apply the Disoriented Debilitating injury, so it gets -2 to attack rolls for 1 round and a -6 to attack rolls against Kahwen. If it's subject to bleed damage, it's also bleeding 6.

Toshiro moves around the the rubble.

"I'm coming!"

double move

Cerisa, you can't take a five foot step and also move normally during the same round, unless you have a special ability that allows it.

Haste? But okay.

Haste increase your movement speed; I don't see any way it changes the rules for a five foot step. Please redo your turn.

Cerisa takes a guarded step from Red, then Hexes it to lower it's AC by 4 for the next 8 rounds (successful DC 21 will to reduce that to 1 round).

Roland sends several arrows into the nearest gug, badly injuring it. Kahwen steps forward, placing himself between the spellcasters and danger. His blade hits the creature due to Cerisa's magic, ending its threat to your party.

The yellowish monster bites and claws at Kahwen.

bite attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32
claw 1: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35
claw 2: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28
claw 3: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36
claw 4: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32

bite damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
claw 1 damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
claw 3 damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
claw 4 damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
rend damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

47 total damage to Kahwen; the remaining gug is at -43 HP.

The party is up again.

Cerisa taps Kahwen with a Wand of Cure Serious Wounds.
csw: 3d8 + 5 ⇒ (5, 3, 5) + 5 = 18

Kahwen is almost the very definition of a glass dagger and even as he's celebrating the end of one of their opponents, the other one very nearly ends him.

That doesn't mean that his fight is ended though, and he takes the healing from his companion before moving around their opponent, twisting and tumbling to avoid any retribution.

Acrobatics (Avoid AoO: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (19) + 27 = 46

I also have Mobility so my AC is 34 against any AoOs for movement.

Kahwen is careful when he attacks again, worrying as much about defense as offense.

+2 keen shock elven curve blade (Haste, Fighting Defensively): 1d20 + 19 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 19 + 1 - 4 = 26
Slashing: 1d10 + 15 + 6d6 ⇒ (3) + 15 + (1, 3, 2, 5, 6, 2) = 37 plus Electricity: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Assuming that's a hit, if the target is subject to sneak attack damage I'll also apply the Disoriented Debilitating injury, so it gets -2 to attack rolls for 1 round and a -6 to attack rolls against Kahwen. If it's subject to bleed damage, it's also bleeding 6.

And fighting Defensively, my AC is 33.

Toshiro moves and calls to his foe.

"I'm here!"

move and challange

Roland moves to get a view of yellow ( am assuming green roots are blocking all line of sight)

”Zhis is good. Zhere is only one more to deal wizth“

improved precise=no cover
Roland-1 +3 Ad darkwood, PB comp haste: 1d20 + 21 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 21 + 1 + 2 = 33
for dmg,PB: 1d8 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 = 12

Tess withdraws to just north of Cerisa, ready to hex the gug into oblivion if it survived until the next round.

If someone could be kind enough to move me, please.

Kahwen and Roland both damage the gug, who is now clearly not looking so good (about 3/4 health).

He continues to attack Kahwen.

5d20 ⇒ (5, 18, 17, 11, 4) = 55

That is two claws that hit, plus the rend.

total damage: 3d6 + 24 ⇒ (6, 4, 3) + 24 = 37

Kahwen falls over, unconscious (now at -8 HP)

Party is up again, need check to stabilize from Kahwen

Cerisa casts Cure Critical Wounds on Kahwen.
Stop sleeping on the job she quips.
healing: 4d8 + 12 ⇒ (4, 7, 5, 4) + 12 = 32

Toshire draws and swings with two hands.

"Kahwen!"

attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34

iaijutsu strike with holy damage

+2 holy adamantine: 1d20 + 19 + 5d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (16) + 19 + (1, 3, 3, 4, 6) + (1, 2) = 55

crit confirm

crit con: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (17) + 24 = 41

crit: 1d8 + 19 + 5d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 19 + (4, 2, 5, 5, 3) + (4, 2) = 45

I think the holy damage and the iaijutsu strike get doubled?

if it is killed Toshire lops the head off

Tess uses her Slumber hex on the gug, trying to lull it to sleep so her friends could pounce.

DC 21 Will to resist.

Roland gasps as the tengu is mauled but relieved as healing applied and the beast slashed.

assuming the samurai crit finished it…otherwise will shoot anything still moving.

” Zhis was quite Zhe interruption but we still have not solved the riddle of Zhe door. Let’s get patched up and be ready for Zhe next act.“

waiting for any healing or anything you are doing before moving on

Cerisa is a bit low on resources but she does have a CLW+1 wand (7c), a CSW+5 wand (3c) and a potion of CMW as well as hexes and spells.

Tess uses her healing hex on Kahwen, and offers it up to anyone else who might need it.

CMW 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (1, 6) + 10 = 17

Kahwen bows first to Tessara then to Toshiro. "Remind me to let you go first next time, Friend Toshiro," he says, his feathers ruffling before settling.

He extends a wand to Tessara. "Thank you for what you have already done. Just a bit more, please."

CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

He then picks up his sword and moves back to the door.

Roland nods as Kahwen returns

”Lets try Zhis again. “

"Yes of course.." He nods at the tengu.

Toshire wipes off his katanna then sheaths it.

Anyone else need healing? Cerisa asks.

” Zhere is no need of Zhe healing for me.“

((bump?))

((bump?))

GM said in discussion that they would have to take a short pause due to real life stuff, and would get back to us as soon as they could.

Kahwen sees no sign the door is locked or trapped.

After ensuring that the door itself is not dangerous, Kahwen nods to his fellow Pathfinders, opens the door then takes a firm grip on his sword with both hands.

Apparently, he doesn't need Toshiro's reminding as he looks to the samurai expectantly.

Roland nods and grips his bow…with an occasional look back to make sure no more creatures sneaking up from behind.

I've put Kahwen right in front of the door. Can everyone else please make sure your token is where you want it to be when the door is opened?

Cerisa does not want to be in front of the door when it is opened.

What's P2 and P3?

P2 and P3 are labels for parts of this room. They treat the parts of the room divided by the emerald roots as separate rooms for clarity.

If someone would be kind enough to please place Tess on the map. Anywhere is fine. TIA.

Roland is happy to swap places with Cerisa

I'm fine where I am

Sure

Kahwen is in position.

Through the door you find a narrow passageway ending in another door.

(I've moved you in/forward as a group)

A careful check of the door by Kahwen reveals no locks or traps, so he moves to let Toshiro open the door.

A long stone counter runs along the edges of this L-shaped room, its surface cluttered with strange tools, alchemical devices, urns of bubbling liquid, and shuddering clots of flesh. Three pedestals to the south support small mounds of glowing green crystals. Three alien creatures are doing something at the counter.

Bold may post:
Cerisa
Kahwen
bad guys
Roland
Toshiro
Tessara

Can someone please bot them? It's better if I don't in this particular situation.

Cerisa tries to identify them.

K Planes +9, K Arcana+20, K Religion +6

Kahwen does not like arbitrarily killing people who may be innocently going about their business. He also doesn't like being caught in a big group if area affects start taking place.

He enters the chamber, close enough to attack, if necessary, but does not attack, yet.

Ceresa does not know anything about these creatures. You still have your turn.

Cerisa uses her Wand of See Invisibility on herself.

Roland waits quietly to see what happens…

The creatures each drink something. They give you the impression of buffing for combat.

The entire party is up now.

Kahwen does something rather unpredictable. He twists to spring away from the one he's adjacent to.

Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (6) + 27 = 33
Dashes the few feet over to the next one (blue) slashes at it and springs away from it as well.

+2 keen shock elven curve blade vs. Blue: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22
Slashing Plus SA: 1d10 + 15 + 6d6 ⇒ (8) + 15 + (4, 4, 6, 6, 5, 4) = 52 plus Electricity: 1d6 ⇒ 4

If that's a hit, if the target is subject to sneak attack damage I'll also apply the Disoriented Debilitating injury, so it gets -2 to attack rolls for 1 round and a -6 to attack rolls against Kahwen. If it's subject to bleed damage, it's also bleeding 6.

Using Spring Attack to deny Blue the chance to take an AoO.
