[PF2 / Farol] 3-15: Cavern of the Sundered Song High (Inactive)

Game Master Farol

How many actions did red take? He stood up attacked four times grabbed Kagan and moved.

How many? Around 4 :P When my beutiful monster loose they get boosted! In reality I forgot about it being prone. The creature has a 2 action skittering assault - move 3 times, can attack different creature with leg as it moves, do not increase map until the end of the action, so with 3 actions you can strike 4 times, but the prone was lost.

To retcon I will leave: stand up, bite Kagan, move towards Quinoline, So leo gets +21 back, I will resolve Leos action with the others

➤ Quinoline (140/140 HP)
Leo (107/107 HP) │ hasted

Leo will also have used Glimpse of Redemption on the bite on Kagan.

Quinoline will raise her shield ◆ and stand her ground, attempting to smash a bottled lightnings into Red's face.

◆ Greater Bottled Lightning: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (10) + 21 = 31

"If I had wanted you standing up I wouldn't have knocked you down."

Astrid strikes at the giant bug as it stands.

reactive strike vs red: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (13) + 24 = 37
damage, slashing, electrical: 2d8 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 8 + (2) = 16

The shield maiden lives up to her name as she blocks yet another blow from one of the rock monsters. The small pebble attached to the shield glows briefly, then shatters as the shield is struck.

Shield block for 13 less damage, Activate fortifying pebble

"Ha did I say you hit like my Amma? I meant to say you hit like my sister. You should be ashamed to call yourself a rock monster." Out of the corner of her eye she spies Quinoline holding fast against the insectoid menace and cheers her friend on. "Ha! Excellent Quin! Stand your ground just like a proper shield maiden! Just don't let him break your spectacles again"

↺ Reactive strike, ↺ quick shield block, ◇ activate fortifying pebble

Astrid takes 17 damage, her shield takes 7 and expends the fortifying pebble.

Astrid focuses her full attention on the nearest rock creature. "Stupid bug is running away. It looks like you'll be the one to face Stormsóknarmaður's wrath." Her eyes get a crazed look as she laughs evilly and waves her sword around. Without warning she strikes then raises her shield.

intimidation-Demoralize vs green, intimidating glare, intimidating prowess: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (12) + 24 = 36

bastard sword: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (2) + 24 = 26

◆ demoralize, ◆ strike, ◆ raise shield

Leo protects Kagan from some of the strike. Kagan +13, red efeebled 2

Leo sends lightning to punish his enemies

Reflex, DC30, Green: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

Then Leo strikes odd creature hitting it Red -35

Quinoline throws two bombs, out of which one connects Red -20 and off-guard, than crit miss

Astrid punishes the creatures standing up and blocks one of the strikes. Fixed damage on AStrid and Red -16

Astrid then tries to scare the elemental, Who would have though that one can frighten the rock. But this creature is afraid. Crit frightened 2

Kagan furiously slashes the monster, releasing his own beast outside.

Blazeclaw, growling frighteningly, comes closer to its owner and the monster that dragged Kagan away.

I imagine that Kagan is being held in the air (it's more cinematic this way). But if not, then Blazeclaw will move to another place - its intention is to bite the bug.

Kagan strikes twice, and teh big bug falls to the ground. Crit and hit, both due to creature beinf off-guard

Green Monster keeps on hammering at Astrid

FIst@Astrid: 1d20 + 21 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 21 - 2 = 21

But it threads air, the other also swings...

It looks like Astrid and the elemental were within 15 ft when hit. Therefore, within range of Glimpse of Redemption.

"Protego!" ↺Glimpse of Redemption

Leo brings his sword in front of his face and closes his eyes for a second. "Fulgur Arcus!" he shouts again and again causing loud crackling electricity to emerge and jump to each of the enemies. (Green > Blue) Electricity continues to crackle on the sword as he then swipes twice at the adjacent elemental.

Leo will Glimpse the first opportunity that he can

Kagan should be released, correct?

Quinoline infuses two seemingly inert vials with electricity. ◆ Quick Alchemy (Double Brew, Perpetual Infusions, Debilitating Bomb). She'll strike at Blue first, but if the first vial hits Blue, she'll send the second at Green to attemp to off-guard both.

◆ Moderate Bottled Lightning: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (20) + 20 = 40

Green should only be frightened 1

With the stone creature's blow already blunted by the power of Leo's deity it is a simple matter for Astrid to interpose her shield and completely disperse its power.

↺ Quick shield block. 13 avoided from glimpse and 13 from Astrid's shield. Total 26 avoided. No damage to either Astrid or the shield.

The ulfen warrior points her sword at the most injured creature and glares menacingly. "Give my regards to the Gray Lady."

Her threat uttered, she lashes out!

◆ Demoralize, ◆ strike, ◆ strike

Leo strikes the creature with lightning

Reflex, Blue: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18 Crit fails -144 to both, green vanishes, Blue is badly damaged

Green crumbles to the ground by the sheer force of electricity, Blue, somehow survives the magic, but then is handled quickly with accurate strikes from Quinoline, Astrid and Leo. Combat over ;) Green was supposed to be only frightened 1, Kagan was not supposed to be grabbed any more ;)

As you finish the battle, Kreighton and Effeflinn finally push back all creatures from the portal and it closes with a loud chime. They begrudgingly acknowledge each other’s work. Irlah, Eltha, and Piltineff look around in wonder at the Grand Lodge after a century away. Gorm Greathammer, out of breath, examines the carnage in the Archive. He notes the dead gogiteth, the closed portal, and the returned PCs, as well as the missing members of the Rhombodazzle expedition.

Gorm Greathammer rubs his chin, momentarily at a loss for words. "I look forward to hearing what happened. For now, I’m just glad that you were on this mission. I think things would have gone badly for all of us without your efforts. Once you’ve had a chance to recover from this battle, I look forward to hearing your story."

Feel free to RP the debriefing

After Gorm's words, Leo calmly walks up to Eltha with a small, but deep smile. "I know that our first interaction was a little rocky," he says warmly. "But please allow me to be the first to sincerely say, 'welcome back, we missed you'."

Quinoline gets out a broom and sweeps up all the broken glass for recycling. High quality borosilicates are difficult to find.

"Welcome to Grand Lodge," Quinoline says, and offers a tour to the lost Pathfinders.

Kagan calms drake, who violently tears up the gogiteth's carcass for some time, increasing the already great chaos around.

It was an honor to participate in this mission. Kagan salutes his comrades, with whom he went to the Darklands.

"Ha! Next time you'll need to give me something hard to do. All we needed to do was befriend some cavegnomes, flatter a dragon, win at a god's dice game, convince Eltha here to not take out some well-deserved revenge on Kreighton and make it home before the portal collapsed and trapped us there forever." She turns to Eltha and whispers. "I still think we should have painted Kreighton blue."

She turns back to Gorm and continues. "Oh and of course there were the obligatory monsters to kill as well. Anyway a full debriefing will have to wait. Our lost lambs haven't been to a tavern for some proper ale in a hundred years. You can have your debriefing once we all have a drink or five in our bellies. Come on everyone, The Pig and Whistle is waiting. Kreighton and Effie are buying. It's the least they could do."

Grom listens with interest, and quickly grabs on his instrument "Fascinating tale, I could write a ballad about this journey, if you would give the rights to do so ..."

Eltha, Irlah and Piltineff have hard time believing that they get back.

Irlah offers you her own token of thanks: a series of sketches she drew over the years detailing every part of Nivi Rhombodazzle’s house. You each have a magic die from your game with Nivi, and you wonder would it come handy if you need a bit of luck?

That would be the end! Thank you all for playing!
