[Outpost VII] GM Soulnova's 7-10 The Consortium Compact (Inactive)

Game Master soulnova

Will, Raging: 1d20 + 0 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 0 + 2 = 19

Lucerne Hammer, Rage: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 151d12 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Ekadan doesn't seem to mind the negative energy and swings his hammer!

The Eidolon's first attack misses barely. The second claw swings at air.

She also manages to avoid Ekadan's lucerne and she seems concerned by the force behind that swing...

Nisek grabs the enemy by the belt and drags him onto the roof.

Grapple: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 2 = 17

Nisek, grapple and moving a grappled target can't be done in the same round. You can grapple in this round and then move them as part of maintaining a grapple in the next round. DRAG as a different combat maneuver than grapple, but can be done this round while provoking an AoO because you do not have Improved Drag.

Grapple: Once you are grappling an opponent, a successful check allows you to continue grappling the foe, and also allows you to perform one of the following actions (as part of the standard action spent to maintain the grapple).
Move: You can move both yourself and your target up to half your speed.

Can you please clarify which action you will take?

Ok, got confirmation from Nisek that this is a grapple.

Nisek manages to get a hold on BLUE. Grapple was successful.

Round 2
Rosla 23 Will save for half damage
RED 19
Navatsiyk 17 (Eidolon's Will save)
Ekadan 14 Will save for half damage
Nisek 11 (-5hp)
Daegon 10
BLUE 8
FB 6

Daegon is up.

Hearing the commotion on the roof, Daegon gets concerned. Anybody know if Nisek is ok up there? I can't see squat... will load my crossbow in case i get a target...

Blue will attempt to attack Nisek with his short sword again before he has a chance to pull him up, but it's a bit more complicated now that he's being grappled.

Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
slash: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

And fails completely.

Round 2
Rosla 23 Will save for half damage
RED 19
Navatsiyk 17 (Eidolon's Will save)
Ekadan 14 Will save for half damage
Nisek 11 (-5hp)
Daegon 10
BLUE 8
FB 6

Fallen Boulder is up, and then Rosla.

Falling Boulder will move behind the bear trap. Does he have a line of sight on the enemy?

Falling Boulder will move behind the bear trap. Does he have a line of sight on the enemy?

Yes, Falling Boulder has line of sight on RED. :)

Falling Boulder will fire a bolt of flame at him. [1d20+2]

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Confirm crit 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 2 = 4

Red is burned on her side by the bolt of flame.

Rosla is up and Red has not yet realized she's there.

Round 3
Rosla 23 (-1)
RED 19 (-4hp)
Navatsiyk 17 (Eidolon -3hp)
Ekadan 14 (-1 hp)
Nisek 11 (-5hp)
Daegon 10
BLUE 8
FB 6

Still hiding, Rosla checks the enemy for any weaknesses. (move action to study target)

MW cold iron Elven Leafblade, Studied Target: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 = 15 (vs. FF AC)
Piercing OR Slashing, Studied Target: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Suddenly, an elven leaf blade appears on the left side of Red - and it's quickly thrust at her body...

Looks like the dice bot hates me currently. :-( I fear that this attack (despite targeting FF AC) will still miss - there are not that many clerics with higher than average Dex. And even if it hits it's just minimum damage (like Falling Boulder's crit)... :-/

Rosla's Leafblade is just too low on the angle and clanks against the plates of the woman's armor.

"Pathfinder scum!"

The woman flashes her holy symbol again with a burst of negative energy that washes again over everyone in front of her, and then she takes a step back.

Channel Energy Will Save DC13: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Round 3
Rosla 23 (-1) Will save
RED 19 (-4hp)
Navatsiyk 17 (Eidolon -3hp Will save)
Ekadan 14 (-1 hp) Will save
Nisek 11 (-5hp)
Daegon 10
BLUE 8

This probably won't work, but it will be awesome if it does...

With a grunt of effort, Nisek lifts the blue-clad Aspis agent and hurls them to the ground!

Grapple: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 (plus maybe falling damage?)

GM's call if off the roof is an "unoccupied square... in a hazardous location". If so, they get a +4 CMD, but end up on the ground with falling damage if I succeed. If not, they land on the roof, but get no bonus to resist.

I think I'll allow it. Move him along the edge to get him off

Grapple to free itself: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 4 = 14

The aspis agent is unable to free himself from the sudden movement and is thrown down!

"AARGH!"

falling damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

The agents falls to his death!

Round 3
Rosla 23 (-1) Will save
RED 19 (-4hp)
Navatsiyk 17 (Eidolon -3hp Will save)
Ekadan 14 (-1 hp) Will save
Nisek 11 (-5hp)
Daegon 10

"As Irori as my witness, I though snakes could fly," Nisek shouts down with a chuckle.

Falling Boulder shall try another fire bolt. 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

D*mn heavy armor...

Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 (vs DC 13)

OUCH! This stings much more!

Will: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19

Lucerne Hammer, Rage: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 151d12 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

These rolls. Note to GM: After taking 2 HP from this channel Ekadan will have 15 left - you didn't include his Rage HP. I also moved and 'offset' Ekadan's and Yellow's tokens because that square is getting busy to grab and move things.

Will save: 1d20 ⇒ 14

The eidolon chuckles as he rushes out of door and claws the cleric.

claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
slashing: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
slashing: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

What was that crunching sound? Did something just hit the ground hard? Daegon asks as he waits for a target, making sure no one gets insde to sneak up on the others.delay...

"One thought they could fly and the other thought she was invincible and they were both wrong. And since for some weird reason I missed this wench twice, I'm going to make sure she's dead - by throwing her into the bear trap!"

“I’m not used fighting in such close quarters.”

Whilke Ekadan's swing misses, it sends the mercenary right at the claws of the Eidolon, making a large gash across her throat and making her bleed to death as she tries in vain to do one last channel energy. Her body falls back unmoving.

The immediate threat has been neutralized, and the warehouse is secure.

Not long after, Magali arrives with her contacts to start moving the dangerous drug cargo.

Grateful for the intervention of the Pathfinders, Delroya approaches you with a nod of respect, her expression one of genuine appreciation.

"You've done the people of the Inner Sea a great service. Had this drug reached the streets of countless cities and towns, thousands of lives would have been surely be destroyed," she acknowledges, her voice carrying above the din of activity. "I'll be sure to send some of safer goods to the Pathfinder Society as a token of thanks for your assistance. I'll catch up with you when you give your report to Valsin."

With that you are free to return to the ship and make your way back to Absalom.

Nisek hops down from the warehouse roof with a grin. "What'd I miss down there? Hopefully any Pathfinders or Kortos, with the Snakes I was tossing around, at least."

"Not much just me missing and that creature over there killing this person doing some weird stuff. I don't want to risk an injury to Rosla so I'll set the bear trap off by throwing the wenches corpse into it. Hey I want to see the trap spring!"

[SNAP!CRUNCH!]

The body is mangled by the bear trap. There will be a large mess to clean afterwards...

Eidolon nods approvingly as the trap springs and slices the corpse. "Cool move, barbarian. Thanks for teaching me new use for bear trap. he mumbles

“The mission is finished. We should head out. The society members don’t shy away of violent heroics.”

A few days later as you gather in the Pathfinder Lodge, Ambrus Valsin listens carefully to your report and extends his gratitude.

"Your success," he begins, "has dealt a crippling blow to the Aspis Consortium's operations. You've averted untold suffering across the Inner Sea region." His words are measured, filled with genuine appreciation for their efforts.

In the presence of the venture-captain, Delroya stands alongside the party, her demeanor markedly changed from their earlier encounter. Though she remains silent, her presence speaks volumes, and it's evident that she has found a newfound respect and camaraderie among the Pathfinders.

Later, you receive a missive from Lord Avid expressing high praise for the Society's discretion and impressive results.

"Not much just me missing and that creature over there killing this person doing some weird stuff. I don't want to risk an injury to Rosla so I'll set the bear trap off by throwing the wenches corpse into it. Hey I want to see the trap spring!"

"Thanks for looking out for me, Ekadan. But please wait before you do so. I'd like to check if these snakes have any valueables first, then you can spring the trap!"

Rosla check each corpse for treasure:

Perception, Take 20: 20 + 8 = 28

"Whoah, wouldn't have guessed being Pathfinder is so easy. Clearly right choice to join!" Navatsiyk sounds delighted hearing Valsin's reaction

"You're welcome! Hey anyone got some paper or parchment? Oh and we need to put all the 'borrowed' supplies back, move the crates back, etc. since we told those guards we wouldn't wreck the place or steal anything. We need to keep our word as best we can."

Diplomacy from an 8 Cha Barbarian?: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

"Whoah, wouldn't have guessed being Pathfinder is so easy. Clearly right choice to join!" Navatsiyk sounds delighted hearing Valsin's reaction

"Easy? We can tell who wasn't doing the heavy lifting in the warehouse..."

[dice=Perception, Take 20]20+8

"I ain't got no shame I'll root through the remains to find anything of value. I have a mess kit on me but it isn't for this kind of mess!"

Ekadan guffaws at his own joke (and is probably the only one to do so).

Daegon looks over the barbarian's novel way of springing the trap.

Ewwwww...effective but a bit messy... he says with a shrug.

We're just happy to get that poison off the streets. I won't shed any tears over those...mongrels...they chose their path...

“I thank you all for helping on my first assignment. I shall continue work for the society. My hope the next assignment will be outside of a city. I definitely felt I was out of my element.”

"I know what you mean but the food is better and you don't have to hunt for it."

"Don't I know it! Anyone mind if I get fourths?"

"Don't I know it! Anyone mind if I get fourths?"

"Great gravy! Where's he putting all of this food, in his tail?!?!"

Nisek is based on this guy.

Nisek is one chunky monkey! 8)

Daegon watches the others feast as he nibbles on some finger food and sips wine.
I could think of worse ways to celebrate...cheers! he says as he holds up his goblet of wine in salute.

i actually looked into going to a sumo school after high school...college football was out...
