GM Frost's Free RPG Day Adventure: The Great Toy Heist (Inactive)

Okay, not sure I can do this, but can I use Quick Jump to Anakin over the Souldbound and come down with a chop? What kind of DC would I be looking at?

I assume you want to flank with Marcella? That’s a 15’ jump, which should be a DC 15

Okay, not sure I can do this, but can I use Quick Jump to Anakin over the Souldbound and come down with a chop? What kind of DC would I be looking at?

I will allow that.

Yay! Here we go! Yes, to flank with Marcella!

Cutie takes a couple of quick breaths before leaping into the air, over the soulbound armor! Quick Jump (Athletics): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 Ooh, crit!

Letting out a extremely cute roar, Cutie lands and comes down with a two-handed chop down on the armor! Mr. Stabs, w/ guidance Furious Finish?: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 = 11 Hero Point: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d12 + 4 + 2 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 + 10 = 18

Not sure why you're jumping instead of just moving. Rule of cool? Also you need to add another +1 to hit and +1d12 damage for runic weapon and +1 for fury instinct. You probably hit anyway since he's -2 AC for flanking and -1 AC due to clumsy.

Cutie skillfully jumps over the animated armor into flanking position with Marcella. He then roars and stabbies the enemy! 18 + 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12 = 30 total damage

He creates a gash across its body but the guardian is still standing.

Wait. Wasn't cutie attacking the gem and not the armor itself?

He mentioned armor, but we can retcon that once he clears which one he is attacking, the guardian or the gem.

I will assume that Cutie is attacking the soul gem since that was the plan anyway.

Retconning...

Cutie skillfully jumps over the animated armor into flanking position with Marcella. He then roars and stabbies the enemy's gem! 18 + 11 + 1 - 10 Hardness = 20 total damage

End retconning.

The gem breaks by such immense damage. The soulbound guardian becomes inanimated and falls to the ground with a thud, breaking into several armor pieces. Also, the animated table and book are no more animated as well.

COMBAT OVER! WELL DONE!

With the soulbound guardian defeated, the poppets can take a little time to investigate the vault more thoroughly. In addition to finding the deed to the land on which The Terrific Toybox sits, they can discover proof of other underhanded plots Baron Vreen has been undertaking throughout Egorian for years. While the specifics are beyond the scope of this adventure, they can rest assured that by making off with this proof, they can essentially eliminate the baron’s influence and put him in his place. In addition, though they’re small, they can grab enough treasure and other valuables to help Gettorio stay in business for a while to come.

Roleplay a bit while I prepare chronicles and reporting.

”Huzzay!”, cries Hellpup. He gets overly excited, and belches some hellfire.

”Excuse me!”

Marcella stares in disbelief as the armor and animated objects fall lifeless to the floor. That moment is brief however and soon a broad smile lights up the poppet's face. "You did it, Cutie! You did it! I thought we were headed for the Boneyard for sure!" She gives the stuffed poppet a huge hug. "You all did great" She grab Hellup and the Tin Wizard with each arm and draws them in for a hug as well.

The poppets also discover a secret escape tunnel out of the vault that Vreen constructed for emergency purposes. It leads to the Egorian sewers, from which the poppets can return home triumphant without any further trouble! Gettorio is overjoyed to see them, especially when they bring news of their successful mission, though he cautions them about taking matters into their own hands. But that shouldn’t be a problem for the foreseeable future!

FIN

Cutie plops down on their soft butt and chuckles, Talk about teamwork! Let's get what we need and boogie out!

Sorry, forgot about the Runic Weapon! Thanks! As for not simply moving, there were two things, one) I wanted to use a Skill Feat that I rarely take, and two) I didn't want to risk provoking a Reactive Strike, especially with so little hp. According to the map, I would have had to skirt through several threatened squares. It was cool, wasn't it?!? Thank gods, he didn't have the high ground! ;p

Marcella cackles and rubs her hands with glee as she sorts through the proof of Vreen's illegal plots. "Bwahahahaha! Now this is what I'm talking about. We have tons of blackmail material. This'll teach Vreen that poppets are a force to be reckoned with."
