[Outpost VII]#3-99: Fate in the Future - GM Ilmakis (Inactive)

Game Master Ilmakis

Hoping someone can heal/stabilize Zhamie this turn. Dennis is moving in and will either Battle Med or give her a healing potion next round!

Dennis can't avoid the giant tail and gets hammered. He cries, "Owww!" But then he sees his friend Zhamie get knocked down. "Nooo! Zhamie! Get up! Get up!" Turning to the beast, Dennis angrily says, "You shouldnt'a done that!" He violently stabs twice at the dinosaur.

+1 Striking Halberd vs Steg: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30 (vs offguard due to flanking)
Piercing Damage: 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (10, 3) + 4 = 17

+1 Striking Halberd vs Steg +MAP: 1d20 + 17 - 5 ⇒ (15) + 17 - 5 = 27 (vs offguard due to flanking)
Piercing Damage: 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (9, 6) + 4 = 19

Then regardless of whether the beast is still up, Dennis bravely steps toward Zhamie to give her some healing the next chance he gets.

◆◆ Strike x2, ◆ Step

Jaxon can barely see what's happening on the other side of the huge stego, but he hears the screams. He nearly breaks his hand as he punches one of the bony plates. Grimacing, he kicks the dinosaur in its belly. The thug raps the knuckles on his nearly broken hand and a pale green protective field snaps up to help him.

Attack vs OG: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
Hero Point: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
Sneak Attack Damage: 2d8 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 + (2, 2) = 12

Attack vs OG: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 14 - 4 = 23
Sneak Attack Damage: 2d8 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (8, 8) + 4 + (5, 6) = 31 Almost max!

◆ Strike
◆ Strike
◆ Shield (+1 AC)

If hit, Jaxon will use ↺ Shield Block (hardness 10)

Charlies moves close to Zhamie that has fallen while Estes gives Stegosaurus another punch.
+1 Striking Fist (Primary) Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27 vs Stegosaurus
+1 Striking Fist Damage: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (6, 4) + 4 = 14 bludgeoning damage plus 1 spirit damage (from Hallowed Strikes) vs unholy creatures or those with weakness to spirit damage

Charlies quickly patches Zhamie's wounds.
DC 20 Battle Medicine: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Expert Healing: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 3) + 10 = 15 HP for Zhamie

Charlies continues to protect his angel, now that the same is flanked by the beasts.

◆ Act Together (◆ Stride of Charlies; ◆ Strike of Estes)
◆ Battle Medicine
◆ Protect Companion of Charlies for Estes (+1 to AC)
↺ Life Block is triggered if Estes takes 20 or more damage

Dennis delay to see if Jaxon is able to finish off the huge dinosaur.

Jaxon's first attempt not even touch the creature, the second one, the creature tries to use its dorsal protection to avoid the blow but being off-guard put it in a bad position and jaxon's fist hit right in an unprotected area!
The mighty creature falls, dead...

==== I let you reconsider your action if needed ====

Zhamie groans as she regains consciousness. "Merci, Charlies."

She focuses briefly and uses her gloves' healing powers to close her wounds.

Soothe, Healer's Gloves: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 2) + 7 = 14

Fumbling in her pack, she tries to slap a battle dressing onto herself.

Battle Medicine, Healer's Gloves, DC 20: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
Healing, Forensic Medicine, Crit, DC 20: 4d8 + 15 ⇒ (6, 8, 1, 2) + 15 = 32
Should be full

She pulls out a throwing knife.

◆ Soothe (Healer's Gloves)
◆ Battle Med
◆ Interact to Draw Throwing Knife

Oof. At least the more dangerous one is down.

"Ha! And now these little ones will be no trouble at all. Keep at it, Pathfinders!"

Trying to keep morale up, Clover also peeks at the smaller dino in her mirror. Seeing a weak point, she strikes.

◆ Inspiring Marshal Stance Diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22 Success. Clover's aura is still only 10 feet, but grants its status bonus to attack rolls.
◆ Exploit 2 Esoteric Lore: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26 A success if it's level 9 or lower, though I assume it has no weakness. It gains a Personal Antithesis of weakness 4 to Clover's Strikes.
◆ Strike Warhammer: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 14 + 1 = 27 for bludgeoning damage: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (7, 3) + 7 = 17 plus weakness 4.

Thanks for allowing the delay, GM Ilmakis!

Dennis waits to see if Jaxon can finish the job. "You can do it, Mister Jaxon!" When the dinosaur falls, Dennis is about to run (well ... step) to Zhamie's aid, but Charlies is already there, and Dennis is relieved that the doctor has already healed thyself. "You ARE awake? Oh goodie!"

Turning to the smaller dinosaur near him, already conveniently within range, Dennis feints to the right, and stabs twice from the left.

Deception to Feint vs 2: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24 (vs Perception DC)

+1 Striking Halberd +Clover's Marshall, vs 2: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 17 + 1 = 34 (vs offguard due to feint? but maybe cover from Clover?)
Piercing Damage: 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (7, 4) + 4 = 15

+1 Striking Halberd +Clover's Marshall +MAP, vs 2: 1d20 + 17 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 17 + 1 - 5 = 30 (vs offguard due to feint? but maybe cover from Clover)
Piercing Damage: 2d10 + 4 ⇒ (3, 8) + 4 = 15

◆ Feint, ◆◆ Strike x2

**HOUSE GM ANNOUNCEMENT**

“Done!” Heraxia shouts. “Get out of here before—” Heraxia’s words are cut off as she disappears completely, shuddering back into existence a few moments later with a tear-streaked face. Looking confused, she shakes her head, then eyes the vault door with determination. “Seal me inside the vault, then go!”

As the surviving Pathfinders flee through into the Maze of the Open Road, Venture-Captain Armeline and Eando Kline hurry to the vault door, dragging it shut and sealing Heraxia inside the ovoid chamber.

Pathfinders gather inside the Maze of the Open Road, bloodied but alive. As time passes, nervousness flutters through the crowd. Suddenly, Armeline and Eando tumble into the Maze, panting from exertion. “It’s done,” Eando grunts.

“Wait,” Armeline interjects. “We need to give her time to leave...” After a few minutes, Armeline steps through the portal that led to Akiton. She returns moments later, smiling. “It worked! The Maze of the Open Road is repaired. We did it!”

A cheer goes up among the Pathfinders.

“It’s time to go home.”

---------

The surviving Pathfinders travel through the Maze of the Open Road, back to Woodsedge Lodge. As medics tend the wounded and fresh food circulates among the returning heroes, Venture-Captain Armeline Jirneau takes the podium. “Congratulations, Pathfinders! Each and every one of you has performed exceptionally, showing bravery in the face of danger and teamwork throughout uncertain, desperate, and—let’s face it—downright strange events. You should be proud of yourselves.

“On behalf of myself, Heraxia, and the Pathfinder Society, thank you for your efforts. I can’t tell you what will happen with Heraxia and Felise, but your deeds here today will echo into an unknowably distant future. And as for the present, well, I’m sure everyone back at the Grand Lodge will be eager to hear the tales of what you have accomplished here today.”

That concludes the adventure! Thanks for playing, everyone, and especially all the Table GMs whose hard work made this event possible.

sorry for the delay guys! Between taking care of my children and working I need to have the weekend to cool off...

Princess recognize these creatures are dinosaur, ancient animal, without particular defense or weaknesses.
She strikes her target and hits it, leaving a big bruise on it.

Charlies' angel also strikes the creature .

Then Dennis who was delaying moves and give the killing blow.

The last one standing moves and strikes Charlies.

After a first failed attempt, the second one, hit right in Charlie's head! Crit!
