GM Otha’s Mysteries Under Moonlight Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Otha

Patchouli’s and Ushi’s superior brain power, along with Levin’s sneaky ways, gets you past the phantoms easily; you follow your targets trail until you come across a Bat Swarm!

Shoo! via Handle Animal/Intimidate DC35 to get by OR Howl (you must be in full werewolf form for this option) via Intimidate DC31 to get thru…

The Chase!

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 4 = 18

Ushi leads the pack in a howling!

Levin returns to his werewolf form and howls.

Intimidate (untrained) + speed bonus: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 4 = 14

Intimitdate howl: 1d20 - 2 + 6 ⇒ (14) - 2 + 6 = 18 Patchouli echoes Ushi and Levin

Would a firebomb assist in intimidate?

I would say yes…that’d be 4 aids and Waki has an Intimidate mod of +6…if he’s in wolf form, he’ll need a 16 or higher on the d20, unless he has other mods, to hit the DC30. Y’all have succeeded on the previous ones so a fail or two isn’t going affect things much, you’re in good shape…

Waki will try to howl like a true werewolf

”HOOOOWWWLLLL “

intimidate : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

But comes out as more of a squawk….

not including aids…but no where close to impressing anyone…luck could not hold

Unable to intimidate or soothe them, you stumble your way thru the bat swarm, suffering nagging bites, scratches, and bats attaching themselves to your attire, before clearing them…only to confront a patch of thick mist…

This Way! via Perception DC35 to get by OR Trust Your Instincts via Survival DC33 to get thru…

The Chase!

Perception: 1d20 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 6 = 17 *facepalm*
Patchouli can barely see the way

Perception: 1d20 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 4 = 13

Ushi picks his way through the mist, the extra speed of the wolf only helping so much.

Perception: 1d20 + 19 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 19 + 2 = 35

Greyveil, his vision enhanced by his heightened awareness elixir, leads the group through the fog.

Perception + speed bonus: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 4 = 19

Levin isn't able to get through it himself, but he performs adequately at helping those behind him.

Waki tries to help as much as he can

perception : 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Which is not much…

With Greyveil leading the way thru the mist, the party easily makes it thru with no problem…

…and you discover you have caught up with your prey!

In a forest clearing, you see six small flying fey creatures hovering around a stone altar…on the slab lies Cybelle! While you can see her breast rising as she breathes, she does not move…you deduce she is unconscious…

You have made it thru the obstacles so well that these evil fey are unaware of your presence…

You each get a surprise round action…

COMBAT! Surprise Round - The bold may post!

Greyveil
Ushi
Waki
Patchouli
Fey?
Levin

A Damp Forest Clearing

Levin quickly shifts to his hybrid form before any of the creatures notice him.

Unfortunately the wolf form won't be much good to me in combat, so I'll have to spend the surprise round leaving it.

Patchouli too return to hybrid form and swift action enter Shikigami style
Kn Nature to ID: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Taking advantage of the stealthy approach, Ushi returns to the hybrid form to prepare his prayers.

Seeing the fey Greyveil tries to identify them and understand their strengths and weaknesses, but evidently had never seen them.

Knowledge (Nature): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Sensing things are coming to a head he driinks his Mutagen gaining a +4 alchemical bonus to Dexterity, +2 Natural Armor but also a -2 to Wisdom.

This makes his AC to go 29,Touch 19, and Flat Footed 22. The then 5' steps.

Waki quickly draws blades and uses ki to turn invisible

Waki quickly draws blades and uses ki to turn invisible

Reminder that you can draw a weapon as part of your move action move if your BAB is +1 or higher

Even better, he can Quick Draw them!

The party preps for battles…and Greyveil can’t quite make out what these creatures be…

COMBAT! Round 1 - The bold may post!

Greyveil
Ushi
Waki
Patchouli
Fey?
Levin

A Damp Forest Clearing

Stepping forward, Ushi offers a prayer to bolster his allies and hinder their foes!

Casting Prayer.

Patchouli walks up and hit the pink fey with her book.
Book BONK: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 1 = 18 Dmg, count as silver, cold iron, adamantine: 3d6 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (1, 2, 3) + 10 + 1 = 17

Greyveil worried that the hostage will be harmed flies closer and quaffs an elixir. With a sour expression the angly alchemist vomits forth a clout of stinging wasps. The swarm flies forward to setting around orange, stinging and distracting.

Sting Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6
Poision:Fort save DC 13, 1/round for 4 rounds; effect 1 Dexterity damage; cure 1 save. Distraction; on it's turn orange makes a DC 13 Fort save to act normally. Failure means creature is nauseated for a round.

While Ushi prays, Patchouli goes badonka donk all over pink…

Greyveil pukes up some flies which swarm around orange, biting her…

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

…and making her less agile…

COMBAT! Round 1 - The bold may post!

While Ushi prays, Patchouli goes badonka donk on pink…but doesn’t damage the fey as much as she would’ve thought…

Holy Book: .....When wielding the holy book as a weapon, he deals base damage as if it were a cold iron light mace (but see Sacred Word below)...

Patchouli's book count as a +4 weapon with Shikigami Manipulation feat (CL17/4=4), which go through DR/silver, DR/cold iron, DR/adamantine, and DR/magic

Sorry for the delay ..posting tonight

Waki strides invisibly forward to get into position on the southernmost fey(?)

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Orange handles the distraction and…disappears!

Yellow, red, and purple each fly (15’ high) forward and cast blindness on Greyveil, Levin, and Ushi…while pink does the same to Patchouli…

Greyveil, Levin, Ushi, & Patchouli, make a DC16 Fort save or be blinded…

Blue draws her dagger and flies forward as well but goes straight into Waki…

Waki gets an AoO…

COMBAT! Round 2 - The bold may post!

Greyveil (Fort Save DC16)
Ushi (Fort Save DC16)
Waki (plus an AoO)
Patchouli (Fort Save DC16)
Fey? (yellow -17, orange -6/-1 DEX)
Levin (Fort Save DC16)

A Damp Forest Clearing

Look like Pink is still near Patchouli, and Spell-like Ability still provoke AoO so...
AoO Pink: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 1 = 30 Damage, +4 weapon: 3d6 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2, 4) + 10 + 1 = 21
Fort: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

BONK Pink: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 13 + 1 = 33 Damage, +4 weapon: 3d6 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (5, 1, 6) + 10 + 1 = 23

If pink is down, Patchouli will move to the stone altar

Waki strikes invisibly as the fey moves away

AOo mw cold iron wakizashi, invis: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 2 = 21
for dmg: 1d6 + 1 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 + (3, 5, 2) = 18

With his invisibility dispersed he slashes at the new fey

” Bonzai!!!“

mw cold iron wakizashi, 2WF: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 12 - 2 = 24
for dmg: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 = 4
+1 psy wakizashi, 2WF: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 12 - 2 = 24
for dmg: 1d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8
Bite bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
for dmg: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

add +1 for prayer to all the above..I did not adjust macro

Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Folio Reroll +5 Stars: 1d20 + 5 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 5 = 25

Ushi feels his sight waver, before a surge of vigor breaks the necromatic blight! Stepping back, he turns the table on red and yellow!

Burst of Radiance Damage: 5d4 ⇒ (4, 2, 3, 2, 1) = 12
Blinded/Dazzled Rounds: 1d4 ⇒ 1 DC17

Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Greyveil resists the blindness and notes Tricky! before moving his swarm to attack yellow. He then flies to the altar.

Many Stings: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

Poision:Fort save DC 13, 1/round for 4 rounds; effect 1 Dexterity damage; cure 1 save. Distraction; on it's turn orange makes a DC 13 Fort save to act normally. Failure means creature is nauseated for a round.

Orange is still poisoned and needs another save or loose more dex.

Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Was blindness a spell they each cast, or was it a spell-like ability? (The answer will affect my actions this round.)

@Levin: Spell-like ability; I’ll update after you complete your action…

Forcing off the blindness, Levin pulls out his shortsword and rushes toward the closest creature.

Shortsword vs purple: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Damage + Arcane Strike: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The Pathfinders eyes are made of stern stuff and they shrug off the fairies’ effort to blind them…

Patchouli ‘books’ a one-way ticket to Neverland for the pink fairy…

Waki’s waki slashes blue deeply, connecting three times and severely injuring her…

Greyveil’s swarm stings yellow, adding to her woes…

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

…and loses some of her agility…

Ushi casts a spell on yellow, its radiance hurting the fey…

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

…and blinds her to boot!

Sorry, very long day at work, I’ll post the fey’s actions tomorrow…

COMBAT! Round 2 - The bold may post!

A Damp Forest Clearing

Remember that Orange is still poisoned and needs to save as well.

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Orange and yellow both retch; while yellow flies blindly north to get out of the storm, orange makes an acrobatic maneuver to avoid an AoO…

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

…and easily does so, moving SW, increasing altitude to 15’…

Meanwhile, blue, purple and red all go on the attack…

Dagger: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Dagger: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Dagger: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

…while Ushi and Waki avoid their daggers, purple’s blade grazes Levin’s arm, drawing blood…while it dies no discernible damage, Levin feels a burning in his blood and knows he’s been poisoned…

Levin, gimme a DC14 Fort save or take 1d2 ⇒ 1 point of STR damage…

COMBAT! Round 3 - The bold may post!

Waki continues to press his attack…spending 1 ki for an extra attack

mw cold iron wakizashi, 2WF: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 - 2 = 13
for dmg: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5
+1 psy wakizashi, 2WF: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 12 - 2 = 24
for dmg: 1d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 = 9
Bite bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
for dmg: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Ki +1 psy wakizashi, 2WF: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 12 - 2 = 28
for dmg: 1d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 = 5
Ki crit?: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 - 2 = 16
for dmg: 1d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 2 = 10

add +1 for prayer to all rolls, sad as they were except the last

With the fey so close, Ushi draws his cold iron dagger and swipes clumsily at his foe!

Cold Iron Dagger: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

A couple of swipes with his waki is just enough for Waki to drop…

…but Ushi’s rustiness with close in fighting shows withs his first attack…

COMBAT! Round 3 - The bold may post!

Patchouli move to attack yellow, letting the wayang handle the altar.
Bonk da bonk: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 1 = 25 Dmg: 3d6 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (1, 5, 6) + 10 + 1 = 23

Unless orange is invisible? Greyveil sends his wasps to orange again. He uses his move action to examine the prisoner. If orange cannot be targeted he chooses another target that still stands.

Stings: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3 Saves vs poison this round and distraction on its turn.

Heal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Fort vs poison: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Levin lashes back at the tiny creature, though he can feel his strength being sapped by the poison.

Shortsword vs purple: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Damage + Arcane Strike: 1d4 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 + 1 = 3

Bite vs purple: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Damage + Arcane Strike: 1d4 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 + 1 = 4

* * * * *

Shortsword Crit confirm: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Extra Damage: 1d4 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 + 1 = 3

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Orange avoids more dex damage but is still retching…she flies outta the swarm again…

Patchouli books another flight to Never,and, this time for yellow…

Levin manages to strike purple, but just misses severing an artery…

Red and purple repeat their attacks…

Dagger: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Dagger: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

…and once again, Ushi’s armor is too strong for his fie to over come but Levin gets slashed again…

COMBAT! Round 4 - The bold may post!

Greyveil

Patchouli
Fey? (pink dead, blue dead, yellow dead, orange -9/-1 DEX/nauseated, purple -3)
Levin (-2/-1 STR)

A Damp Forest Clearing

Cold Iron Dagger: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Seeing his strikes fail to land, Ushi consults his memory to identify another avenue of attack.

Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Seeing the others in need of aid, Waki moves silently to engage purple with a slash trying to flank…

mw cold iron wakizashi, prayer, flank: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 1 + 2 = 20
for dmg, sneak: 1d6 + 1 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 + (4, 6, 4) = 22

should have enough movement for single attack

Not sure you moved Orange out of the swarm... But Greyveil will move the swarm back onto her unless her single move is greater that the swarm's double move, which is 80.

Greyveil once again uses his swarm to harass Orange.

Many Stings: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11

He stays near the body ready to defend it.

Is orange flying or is at ground level?
