Chakson slashes at the warden again.

◆ Strike
Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 = 23Slashing: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9
◆ Strike
Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 - 5 = 5Slashing: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9

He then tries to see if he can overload the circuits.

◆ Overdrive
Crafting (DC 15): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 (no change)

The Warden glares back at Nyak Nyak, easily resisting her spell. She easily avoids Elias' attack but dodges right into Chakson's. She plants her mystic shield in the way, reducing some of the damage.

Achurius decides a little bit of healing is in order and casts a 3 round heal spell.

heal: 1d10 ⇒ 10

That's a long heal spell... 3 actions probably... 3 rounds and the fight's probably over :)

Achurius blasts a 30' burst of healing, closing the wounds of friend and foe alike.

"Why thank you, good priest. I'll make sure you get the most comfortable cell in the prison for that!" the Warden calls.

"Why thank you, good priest. I'll make sure you get the most comfortable cell in the prison for that!" the Warden calls.

Kosh reloads his crossbow. ”Let’s give ‘er some fresh ones!”, he snaps, and shoots at her.

Reload, Cast inspire courage, lingering composition, Strike

Performance: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Damage: 2d8 + 1 ⇒ (8, 5) + 1 = 14

"Think nothing of it. Smashing a few brooms is one thing, but I would prefer that nobody dies in the squabble."

Kosh reloads and performs an orcish haka, inspiring his companions. Chuckles joins in, adding his warbling call to the confusion. His attack, however, isn't as convincing.

"You will lose that little toy and get the least comfortable cell when I'm done with you!" the Warden snarls, after the bolt zips over her head.

Raising her staff, she immediately attempts to club Chakson with it.

Staff vs Chakson AC 18: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 for Bludgeoning: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Crit doubled to 12

She catches Chakson off guard and soundly smacks him in the side of the head. Crowing with glee, she turns and glares at Nyak Nyak. "Let's see you have a taste of your own medicine!" she growls, casting an Evil Eye on her.

Rayleigh yells in anger as the strike almost caves in Chakson's head. Jabbering more mystic words, she points at the Warden, sending three more bolts of force at her.

◆◆◆ Force Barrage, IC: 3d4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3, 2) + 3 + 1 = 11

Rayleigh's attack sends three bolts at the Warden, slamming into her chest. The Warden screeches in rage "You'll be the new janitor after we're done!" she snarls, "And I'll have your feathered friend stuffed and mounted on my desk!" she adds, pointing to Chuckles.

The Warden seems to have gotten over her fear of her imprisoned employees' rebellion.

Well then. We'll just have to make some more!

Keeping his shield forward, Elias leans back and lets out a piercing howl before lashing out to bite her again.

* Raise Shield
* Demoralize Intimidate: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
* Strike Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

The Warden is unimpressed with Elias' attempt at intimidation. She's also less impressed by the snapping jaws, batting Elias' head aside contemptuously. "You'll be relegated to the kennels outside! Just you wait!"

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
"Is that even an eye? Seems like a marble..." she says. She sends a stone at The Warden.

◆ Sustain bless
◆ Tel Projectile Bldg: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 1 = 13 dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

The Warden glares at Nyak Nyak as the goblin shrugs off the Evil Eye. She sniffs derisively as the rock misses Chakson's head by inches.

"Good priest, do you have any of that healing left?" she calls to Achurius.

”Heh! I vote we lock dis one up!”, says Kosh. He starts chanting a spell like a military cadence, and a shield appears before him, shaped like a castle crenellation.

He reloads and fires once more.

Cast shield, Reload, Strike (inspire courage still in effect)

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Damage: 2d8 + 1 ⇒ (2, 4) + 1 = 7

"You want to be incarcerated? Very well, we accept your surrender."

Probably the only one to laugh at his attempt at a joke, Chakson strikes.

◆ Strike
Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 1 = 16Slashing: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 13

He then sidesteps.

◆ Step

Kosh shoots the Warden with his crossbow, hitting her high on her arm. She screeches in pain and doubles over, causing Chakson's strikes to pass over her head. "I will take your toys away and shoot you with them! As for you, I'll stuff and mount you alongside that funny bird!"

She picks up a teapot and sends it winging at Chakson's head.

TKP vs Chakson AC 18: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31 for Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

She swings her staff and tries to follow it up.

Electric Arc; DC 16 Ref: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

The Warden dodges aside, the lightning missing completely. "I'll make sure you get to clean the stuffed birds when I'm done with you!" she snarls, pointing to Chakson and Chuckles...

Nyak Nyak widens her bless and then fires another stone at The Warden.

"Know when you're defeated!" she says.

◆ Bless Sustain
◆ Tel projectile: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 1 = 13 Dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Achurius refuses to give up and continues his diplomatic efforts, undeterred. He moves to a position where he has a direct line of sight to the recalcitrant leader and gestures dramatically as he speaks.

"Mr. Warden, your violence is so unnecessary. I promise you will find the outside to your liking. You are as much a prisoner in here as anyone has ever been, just with more lush surroundings!"

pointless diplomacy roll: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

"Mr. Warden”

”Oof, ‘at’s a harsh one!”, says Kosh, as he continues his assault.

Cast shield, Reload, Strike (inspire courage still in effect)

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Damage: 2d8 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1) + 1 = 4

"Mister? MISTER? MISTER?!?! How DARE YOU?!" The Warden is apoplectic with rage at being called a male. Her anger causing Nyak Nyak and Kosh to miss their attacks as a result.

"Has anyone told you you have an anger management problem. We also have pretty decent psychiatrists you could avail yourself of out there."

"Has anyone told you you have an anger management problem. We also have pretty decent psychiatrists you could avail yourself of out there."

Hey if you're clearly a female and someone calls you Mister, I think you'd blow a fuse too! :)

Flying into a rage over such a little thing. How silly.
It just makes Elias angrier.

Stepping around to a better angle, he continues trying to bite the Warden.

* Raise Shield
* Step (to flank)
* Strike Wolf Jaws: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 for piercing damage: 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Having taken the flank, Chakson steps back to take full advantage of his reach before striking again.

◆ Step (nodachi has reach)

◆ Strike (flanking)
Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12Slashing: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 7

Elias moves in and bites the Warden right on the arm. She's less happy with the wolf grabbing on. "Let go of my arm you... NOOOOOOOO!!!!" Her tirade ends in a scream as Chakson's sword removes her head.

COMBAT OVER!

With the Warden's demise, the invisible wall briefly becomes visible, before shattering. Apparently, it was only the Warden's willpower keeping you all in.

You may exit at your leisure

As you exit the dollhouse, you all return to normal size. For the resident poppets, it is a bit unsettling as it is their first time ever out of the dollhouse. It takes a few minutes for them to collect themselves, but they are hopeful and follow you to meet Eando Kline.

Eando is incredibly surprised to see you accompanied by their new allies, and over the coming days, he speaks to each of the poppets. Now free and truly awake, the poppets eventually seek new purpose, perhaps with a little prompting from you; they remember the conversations of places to go and jobs to be had in the wide world of Golarion. One by one, they leave to find their way, or they join the Society and find roles there if you've really won them over.

The last one to leave is Sweeper. She doesn’t wish to continue being a janitor. What’s more, she’s found that, between her strange awakening within the vaults and her presence at the shattering of the old wards, she has an understanding of how to spread this to other dollhouse prisons. She wants to help in a more meaningful manner after Eando Kline informs her of the other dollhouses that Queen Anastasia has in her possession. Sweeper perks up and offers to go help free any other poppets who are still imprisoned, or otherwise help to take care of the dollhouses. She accepts a field commission as a Pathfinder agent and liaison to Irrisen. There are sure to be more poppets joining the Society’s ranks if Sweeper has anything to say on the matter.
