Kiilo

Vrosi can certainly use some healing.

Markus

The frogger tries to face forward, clearly disoriented, but it can’t keep itself standing and drops to its knees.

Vrosi

Seeing the enemy on the floor, Vrosi swings at it again and again, his anger growing with each strike. Rage boiling in him, he swings for a third time. The frogger tries to defend itself with its club, but the mikazuki breaks the club as it passes, before breaking the skull of the frogger.

Mosquito

The remaining frogger is too focussed on its fallen companion to pay attention to Mosquito’s glare. Likewise, it is too focussed to pay attention to Mosquito’s rapier, and Mosquito drives his rapier through the frogger’s back. Once the cleric pulls out his rapier, the frogger drops dead on the ground.

Knowing the anger Vrosi feels, Kiilo also knows it could get him killed. He begins to sing. The tones are low at first and begin to lift; at the same time, Vrosi's wounds begin to close.

Kiilo casts Hymn of Healing; Vrosi gains Fast Healing 2 and 2 temp hp

Vrosi’s injuries heal as the party stands besides the fallen bodies of the froggers. For a moment there is only Kiilo’s song, but then, a banging noise coming from the adjoining room B7 breaks the moment. There is something heavy hitting it over and over again, threatening to bring it down.

Markus breathes heavily. Cranky runs up scared to his master and Markus cradles him in his arms, whispering soothing words in the fox's ear. Afterwards, he asks "Anyone hurt? I can take a look at those wounds."

Whoever wants to, feel free to roll my Medicine +6 skill to heal yourself.

Vrosi, Kiilo and Mosquito are all injured but is there enough time to treat their wounds?

After a couple more banging noises there is a loud crash just behind the door to the room. Then, the banging gets louder, you can see the door the one connecting to B7 rattling and bending with each hit. The rusty hinges creak in protest.

I swear we puchase healing potions ;)

Markus positions himself in a safe spot, waiting for whoever gets in. He says "Maybe get the bear meat ready?"

Markus positions himself in a safe spot, waiting for whoever gets in. He says "Maybe get the bear meat ready?"

Markus nods at Kiilo and says "Not only distract it, but I'm hoping it will calm down and maybe see us as friends. We should have asked about it more to know if there are any games it likes to play, or... anything that might make us seem more friendly."

Mosquito runs to the bulging door, casts Bullhorn , before shouting
Ifs dat bees da bears wees bees friends ov youses goblins! Don't bees eats us!

The goblin turns to the group with a thumbs up....

Much to Mosquito's dismay, the bashing continues. And a few bashes later, the door comes crashing down, knocking the magically held piece of meat in the process.

There is no bear where the door stood, instead, there is another frogger holding a club, followed by two humanoid creatures with mandril like faces and features. The frogger opens its mouth to let its tongue swing openly from it, while the mandrils hop from one leg to the other holding random pieces of rocks and other debris in their hands. Whomever this newcomers are, they are ready for a fight.

Kiilo’s Initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Markus’ Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Mosquito’s Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Vrosi’s Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

feel free to reposition yourselves within the room.

Kiilo and Vrosi, you can take your turns before the enemies.

I'm not clear what map we are using.

◇ Begin raging.

◆ Get out mikuzaki

◆ Stride to get to the frogger.

◆ Strike: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21for: 1d6 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 3 = 7

I'm not clear what map we are using.

◇ Begin raging.

◆ Get out mikuzaki

◆ Stride to get to the frogger.

◆ [dice=Strike]1d20+7[dice=for]1d6+3+3

I think we are still in B6 and the baddies just came through the double doors

My bad, I forgot to place my tokens. We are still on the same map as where you fought the froggers.

Unintimidated by his enemies, Vrosi steps forward to block their way and swing his mikazuki against the new frogger. It hits the creature on the head. The frogger snaps its mouth from the pain of the impact and bites its own tongue in the process.

Kiilo, you can take your turn before the enemies, who should be up now.

Kiilo quickly sends a Phasebolt at the frogger

Phasebolt: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 283d4 ⇒ (2, 3, 2) = 7 DblDMG on Crit

Kiilo

The bolts phase through the frogger, reappearing inside the creature, who twists and growls in agony as they burn it from the inside.

That’s a crit

Frogger

The frogger’s eyes go blank, it forces itself to stop moving, stairs into the room and lets out an insidious croak that reverberates in the room.

Kiilo’s will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Markus’ will save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Cranky’s will save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Mosquito’s will save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Vrosi’s will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

There is something about the sudden silence, followed by the stare and the prolonged croak that gives you pause. Could this creature possible set aside its pain through force of will alone? You are all Frightened 1

Then, the frogger raises its club, turns to face Kiilo and attempts to grab him with its tongue, before swinging its weapon at him.

The froggers tongue wraps around Kiilo, holding his arms against his chest. Kiilo is Restrained, but he can move to within 10 ft of the frogger.

Unable to defend himself, the frogger's club crashes directly onto Kiilo, with all of the weight of the weapon behind it. Kiilo would go down with 16 damage if my notes are correct, is that right?

The frogger is seriously wounded.

AB: Terrifying Croak*, Strike*x2

Mandril (purple)

The mandril tosses at Vrosi a piece of furniture he has in his hand.

The mandril is right on target, as the piece of wood hits Vrosi on the side of the head.

He then scrabbles to pick up another piece of broken furniture before getting closer to the entrance to get a better angle at the orc.

AB: Strike*, Interact*, Stride*

Mandril (red)

Similarly, the other mandril tosses a piece of furniture at Kiilo, the two pieces of debris arcing across each others path.

Fortunately, the mandril hadn't calculated the whiplash from the frogger's hit on Kiilo, and the piece of furniture flies way over where kiilo now is.

His hands emptied, the mandril scavenges for some pieces of stone that have broken off of the walls. With the stone in his hands, he moves closer to his target.

AB: Strike*, Interact*, Stride*

You can all take your turns.

I would need to go back and look at his other losses, but 26-16 only leaves 10 hp.

This fight's layout is horrible for my AoE spells.

Markus summons the courage to keep fighting and focuses a spell on the frog in the doorway.

Cast Kinetic Ram (DC 17), 2 actions on frogger on the doorway (I guess it's the only frog)

I just realized that I have Lesser bottled lightning. As I'm reading the rules to throw it, it's a friggin martial weapon, so I'm not throwing that. Who wants it?

Strike the frogger: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8for: 1d6 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 3 = 11

Strike the frogger w/backswing: 1d20 + 7 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 - 5 + 1 = 21for: 1d6 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 3 = 8

Strike the frogger: 1d20 + 7 - 10 ⇒ (2) + 7 - 10 = -1for: 1d6 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 3 = 11

Mosquito squeaks at the most horrible of noises! The Cleric of Cayden Cailian turns his red rimmed eyes to see what all the ruckus is about! Seeing the weird frog and his gang beating his Bard, the Swashbuckler decides that is not cool!

Mosquito Raises his Shield, Strides to the doorway, and stabs the frog!
Youses bees Stupids!

AC 22

Kiilo

One of the froggers on the previous encounter did hit you for 10.

Vrosi

Dizzy from the hit, you miss with your swing, but the anger of missing makes you focus, and your backswing catches the frogger on the ribs.

Markus

Suddenly, the frogger is sent flying away. It is shut backwards, against the wall, and it collapses to the ground. The frogger is now Prone The two mandrils just backwards in fear when seeing the sudden manifestation of magic.

Mosquito

Mosquito, I moved you further into the other room to follow the frogger.

Mosquito bravely follows, not wasting the opportunity to finish off the frogger. He thrusts his rapier and pins the frogger to the ground until it ceases to move.

Kiilo

recovery check: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Kiilo is Unconscious and Wounded 1 but no longer dying.

Mandrils

The mandrils drop their weapons and prostrate themselves. They speak in a foreign tongue unknown to any of you. I think, I'm not sure on Kiilo's and Vrosi's languages. Their voices are fast and erratic, but weak and wimpy.

I assume we're out of combat?

As Vrosi intimidate the mandrils, Markus feels proud of himself for his magic prowess, although he never wished to focus on violence with his magic. Nevertheless, he moves over to Kiilo and quickly checks his wounds.

This is assuming we have 10 minutes to spare. Maybe this happens as Vrosi talks about mandril culture with our new intimidated friends.

Medicine DC 15: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Heal if successful: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 6) = 14

Vrosi only has Common and Orcish

If necessary, Vrosi will intimidate them (+5 on Intimidate) via Intimidating Gaze.

Otherwise, Vrosi will gather their weapons, and loom over them.

As soon as Kiilo is conscious, he can start the Hymn of Healing for himself. I need to look at languages; I am pretty sure they were Taldane, Goblin, and Draconic.

Mosquito taps the Wizard on the shoulder.
Mees gots dis.

Walking over to the prostrated monkey dudes, the goblin places both hands on his hips. He then uncomfortably removed his hand still holding his rapier, sheaths said rapier and proudly replaces his hand on his hip.
Wees bees da mightiest ov heroes! Praise Cayden Cailian fer Youses being saved! Now where bees da bear? Wees hungry!

The goblin gives Markus a thumbs up.

Markus

We are out of combat.

Kiilo’s wounds are bad, but they are not deadly, with some care and unguents you manage to treat Kiilo as best as you can.

Vrosi

They avert their gaze and continue talking in their foreign language, pushing their weapons away from them.

Kiilo

Kiilo wakes up with Markus’ treatment and starts humming quietly to help the healing act faster.

Mosquito

The mandrils look confused at one another for a moment and then prostrate themselves to Mosquito in a submissive gesture. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to understand a word of what Mosquito is saying.

Thankfully, the tones of Kiilo's hymn were easy to maintain; and he added a silent prayer of gratitude to the The Lucky Drunk that not all audacity needed to come with drink. Sometimes, it was there no matter what. So many could learn from that lesson ...

As he began to feel better though, Kiilo tried to think what language the monkeymen might speak.





Let me know what I can roll? Thanks

Markus is thankful for his years of service when he learned to take care of wounds. As Kiilo wakes and starts humming, he pats the strix on the shoulder and moves over to where the communication is taking place. Or at least where the attempts are being made.

He tries to pass some simple peace-like sign language and establish a base of communication.

Going with Society: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Since the Linguist archetype is based around the Society skill, I imagine that this skill is the most adequate for basic communication/

Kiilo

Identifying the language would also be a society check.

Markus

You are unsure about how much they understand you, but they nod and their speech becomes less frantic. They look at each other, and then back at you. They grin and shake their heads. Judging by their body language, you figure this is a non-threatening gesture in spite of how intimidating their bared teeth look.

Grinning wide, the satisfied goblin turns his attention to his surroundings.
Mees no sees da bears. Where ta next?

The goblin then sees another door...

Markus also makes a peaceful gesture at the mandrils and offers some food of his as a sign of friendship. As they take the food, he tries to imitate a bear and motion to them asking if they've seen one.

Society: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

The mandrills thank the food and eat from it withour hesitation. But then, they open their eyes wide in fear with Markus' imitation of a bear. They point to the room besides them B8 in response, which is barricaded from this side with the broken furniture of the room.

Vrosi will move closer to the door with the bear, get out his mikuzaki, and say, "Brilliant Burnis brace for bear!"

Markus thanks the mandrils. He wonders what they would do if the group just lets them go.

I suspect this isn't something you can ask and answer with gestures and grunts. Is there anything I can roll to kind of know this?

Regarding the bear door, Markus says "We should probably just feed the bear. It must be starving. If possible, I think we should avoid fighting it to preserve its life, given it's the goblins' friend. Also, because it's a bear, so it's a good idea to preserve its life. Maybe it likes frogger meat? We could add it to the food we brought", and points to the frogger they just fought and defeated. He adds "If there's anything left from the birds, we should add that too."

He starts to think of how they could open the door from afar so the bear has a feast available when the door opens instead of the group.

Lore engieneering: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

The wise goblin stops. He wisely scratches his head. He wisely smiles.
Dere could bees more ov Dem monkey and frog guys about. Wat if wees leads Dem here and den open Dat bear door?

Markus thanks the mandrils. He wonders what they would do if the group just lets them go.

[dice=Lore engieneering]1d20+8

"Markus, I do not recall hearing that, just to be fair. I recall them inferring that they wanted it to be their pet; and I actually do NOT recall anyone saying that the endevor was a success. Part of me feels like they said it ate some of them, but I don't remember precisely."

I did the thing. This is the post where they talk of the bear.

I did the thing. This is the post where they talk of the bear.

Like I said

Vrosi

One on one wrestling match?

Markus

You could do a perception check to Sense Motive

Tying ropes to key parts of the barricade to pull would bring it down from a distance, the ruckus caused by the collapse might alert the bear who could bring the door itself down on his own.

Mosquito

It seems like Markus can take care of taking down the barricade, how are you thinking of luring enemies to this room?

Kiilo and Markus

Yes, they did fail to befriend the bear, but yes, they do care for the bear as if they had succeeded, that’s why they kept feeding it.

Markus carefully explains his plan to bring down the barricade, and have the bear do the rest. His explanation is perhaps a bit boring. As he notices the others are a bit inattentive, he just says "Look, I know where we can tie some ropes and remove some of the debris to have the bear do the rest of the job."

Looking at Mosquito, he says "It's going to be a problem to bring everything else come here. I am sure they have some territory system where they don't step into other frogger territory, or something. If you have a good idea, though, it'd be great to hear it."

Regarding Kiilo's commentary, he says "Well, if we can befriend the bear in their stead, I'm sure they'd be thankful. But I don't really have, how do you say it... animal magnetism? So I wouldn't know how to do that."

Mosquito squints.
Probably bees best if wees just leaves da bear behinds da barricaded door as wees continue ta explore.
