[OP8] PF2e Q21 - Infernal Infiltration (P4) (Inactive)

Game Master UncleFroggy

Dendri will try acrobatics. untrained, but a +3 from dex, keeping the previous roll gives 22.

Moving in awe of Champion Ra's actions, Issil attempts to do the same. She does well until, placing her foot on a board, it makes a terrifying sound "CCCCCRRRRRRREEEAAAAAKKKKK!" Failure; 1 Awareness Point

Fortunately, both Mitzi and Dendri manage to get past the boards without much trouble. Success x2

You make it to the buildings and realize there are several buildings that the Silver Devils have taken to using, and finding the right one will save you precious time.

I just realized that tracking 'rounds' is ridiculous for an infiltration since you can only try a check once!

We also have Edge Points to turn Failures into Successes, but I don't know if they can be used on Critical Failures.

Bah! How clumsy!

And now all of these buildings... which one to choose?

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

I'll use an Edge Point here if I fail.

Fevirk looks for signs of the Silver Devils.

Survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Fevrik checks for signs of the Silver Devils and finds some leading to a large building. Issil confirms the spoor and follows. Champion Ra follows his own lead and ends up at a warehouse that turns out to have several barrels of ale... (Champion Ra - Failure; Issil/Fevrik - Success)

Mitzi gives Issil a reassuring look. “I … don’t think anyone heard you?” she tries to console the woman. She follows Fevrik and tries to help him find more tracks.

Survival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Let's use an Edge Point please!

survival: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Dendri sees what she can figure out, although she seems really distracted.

[dice=survival]1d20+1

Dendri sees what she can figure out, although she seems really distracted.

Edge Point? :)

Survival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Delta communes with the spirits to get a complete picture of the area full of various structures they need to go to. Thankfully, the spirits are cooperative, allowing him the lead the group into the fastest way toward their destination.

"I used to be much better at this..." Issil stammers when Mitzi gives comfort. "Where is he going? He seems to have a plan." Delta is a man with a purpose, and Issil follows instinctively.

Yes, Dendri will use an edge point.

Dendri and Mitzi begin following a trail that leads off in the opposite direction. Before they can go far, Delta quickly and silently calls them to follow him instead.

I'm not wasting that crit! :)

As you prepare to enter the warehouse, you notice that the Silver Devils have placed tripwire rigged with jingling bells at most of the entrances to the warehouse. This could alert them to someone attempting to sneak in.

“Thanks,” Mitzi whispers her gratitude to the kitsune with a mixture of respect and wonder. “How … did you figure out the right building so easily?”

When she notices the tripwire, she silently points it out to the others and does her best to carefully avoid it.

Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Thievery (T): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

With her Thieves' Tools, Issil begins to mess with the wire, looking for something to weight it down.

Fevrik attempts to step lightly.
Stealth, untrained w/armor check penalty: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 1 - 2 = 19

Dendri tries to avoid the tripwire.

stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Issil holds down the wire so that everyone else can hop over, with Fevrik making like a shadow to get into the building. (Success, Success, Crit)

You manage to get into the building and find yourselves in front of a locked door.

With all your edge points, does it even matter? :)

Fevrik puts his muscle into the door.

Issil readies her tools, but Fevrik has a better idea.

Delta silently draws out his greataxe just in case he needs it while Fevrik deals with the door.

agh. sorry. I forgot to mention that for this one, each player needs to make a check -- though we can probably hand wave it and use all your remaining edge points

Fevrik easily kicks the door off its frame...

Do you want to just edge point it all? :)

Following Fevrik's lead, Mitzi charges straight at the door, hoping to jar it open further with the full weight of her small body behind her shoulder.

Athletics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Use an Edge point if she fails

Mitzi charges the door and slams it with her shoulder, weakening it further. Success

You lot charging the door brings to mind the hallway scene in the Princess Bride where Inigo is throwing himself at the door (and failing) while screaming for Fezzik to get the door open for him! :)

Both Dendri and Champion Ra throw themselves at the door in an effort to knock it off its frame. Their combined efforts manage to knock the door off its hinges. Fevrik grabs the door to keep it from falling and alerting the occupants on the other side.

Both Failures but Edge Points used. DC was 18 for Athletics

As you prepare to sneak into the warehouse, an imp suddenly pops into view beside you. "Is any one here called 'Fevrik the Wild'? You seem to have forgotten to fill out your direct deposit form. We can't send you your paycheck for this mission without it. Please fill it in HERE. I'll wait."

DC 10 Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Delta hears everything in the conversation. It looks like the 'document' the one is telling might be the thing they are looking for. What's interesting is the involvement of somebody from Chelaxian government.

"Interesting..."

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

"Is it showtime?"

"It is showtime!"

With a quick flourish, Issil flips her coat, smears a white patch of gum across her face, and loosens the red ribbons about her side.

"We may have a chance to disrupt this even further. Claim it's the owner's cooking recipe. Or maybe it's time to be direct."

And then an imp appears and turns to Fevrik. "When you're ready...."

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

"Good catch!" Mitzi whispers when Fevrik catches the door. She eavesdrops intently to the conversation, then nods in agreement with Issil--no, wait, it's Carnelian now. How did she change her appearance so fast?!

She looks at the white-faced woman with puzzled awe, then adds to Carnelianl's suggestion. "We ... could do both. Attack the Chelish contact, and thank the Silver Devils for tricking him into coming to this meeting to purchase grandma's secret recipe. There's ... no love lost between them."

As you prepare to sneak into the warehouse, an imp suddenly pops into view beside you. "Is any one here called 'Fevrik the Wild'? You seem to have forgotten to fill out your direct deposit form. We can't send you your paycheck for this mission without it. Please fill it in HERE. I'll wait."

The barbarian snatches the form and then scratches his head. Reading was never my strong suit." Fevrik concedes. Come to think of it, I don't think I even have a bank account."

Nevertheless, he grabs the imp, dips it in some ink, and does his best to make a mark on the paper.
Sorry, done!

Fevrik looks around for more imps, or worse,--more paperwork.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

The imp departs, covered in ink and muttering under its breath about getting a more respectable job...

You enter the room and the room opens up to a view of the warehouse.

Within are a multitude of boxes that smell of fish and salt, and above you is a loft where on it is possible to see the two speaking figures. One of them has dressed in the robes of a scholar, but wields a wicked-looking mace. Upon seeing enter, they immediately attack you. Their rush down the stairs gives you time to draw steel.

White runs up to the Carnelian Signet and tries to poke her with a dagger.

Dagger vs Carnelian AC 21: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 for Piercing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

"Always impulsive, Whitey! Ya gotta wait for us so we can Gang Up on 'em!" a Silver Devil with a yellow tunic says, running up to the Carnelian Signet and poking her as well.

Dagger vs Carnelian AC 21: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 for Piercing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

As soon as the first fool draws a dagger, The Carnelian Signet's body seems to ignite, sending smoke all around her.

Quick Tempered: She is in RAGE now with 6 temp HP.
Elemental Instinct Rage: When raging, she is concealed against ranged attacks (she can't Hide or Sneak with this)

"Oh, you've come to me? How precious!" Flames erupt, swirling around her. "I'm going to enjoy this."

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

She slaps the White garbed preemptive fool with intense heat.

Melee Fire Blast: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Fire Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 4 = 7

"I have this side!"

◇ Quick Tempered
◆ Channel Elements - Fire (Kineticist Dedication lets me do this while raging.
◆ >Tumble Through< White's space, 10 ft down
◆ Elemental Blast vs White (now with Rage!)

With his steel already drawn, Fevrik flies into a rage. "You will be the first to fall!" he declares as he glares at the nearest foe (white).
◇ Quick Tempered/Rage
◆ Raging Intimidation/Intimidating Glare, Intimidate to Demoralize white: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
I believe that puts white at frightened 2

He rushes past his companions.
◆ Stride

Then, he brings his greataxe down on his target.
◆ Melee Strike, greataxe v. white: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Damage, slashing: 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Move 5 feet left, can’t move myself. Actions 2 and 3 shoot gakgung bow hit: 9 + 1d20 ⇒ 9 + (4) = 13 dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Dendri whispers magic words and a ball of flame appears in her hand. She tosses the flame at yellow.

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 someone please verify that a 'spell attack' uses the same modifiers as a ranged attack in general?

damage: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4

my lack of familiarity with this system means I don't know if I can and want to make a five foot step sideways first to avoid some sort of cover penalty, and if I do so, if that leaves enough actions to cast the cantrip and then attack with the resulting flame. In PF1, casting a spell like that would leave a free action to attack with the spell.

@Dendri: Your spell attack roll will be +7 (see the line on your profile after “Primal Sorcerer Spells DC 17"), regardless of whether you make a melee or ranged attack. The attack is part of casting the spell, so it takes no additional actions. (Btw, it’s usually a good idea to explicitly state which spell you’re casting, just so there’s no potential misunderstanding—I assume it’s Produce Flame/Ignition?) Moving first to avoid cover is a very good idea, but I’m not sure that’s possible unless you move into the square to the left of Fevrik?

Mitzi is so astonished by Carnelian’s seeming self-immolation that she simply stands and watches in wonder, forgetting about the combat for a moment. “That … is amazing!” Wondering whether she might have serendipitously found a kindred spirit, she adds “We … should talk later.”

The reason for this inopportune suggestion immediately becomes apparent when a swirling forest of twigs and needles and leaves suddenly manifests around the small woman. Oddly, there is no wind blowing the bits of wood around—they seem to have been conjured out of nothing, with neither the arcane incantations nor measured gestures that accompany most spells. With a flick of her hand, a hunk of firewood materializes out of nothing and hurtles towards the nearest foe.

Her other arm sweeps around in a circle, covering her body in thick layers of bark as she tries to clamber onto one of the crates beside her.

Elemental Blast attack & damage (B): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 181d8 ⇒ 4

Athletics (Climb): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

◆Channel Elements (includes 1-action Elemental Blast at White), ◆Hardwood Armor, ◆Climb

I'm guessing it's Ignition (formerly called Produce Flame) :)
At Lvl 1 if your spellcasting ability is maxed then your mod is +7 (and your DC is 17)

The Carnelian Signet bursts into flame before diving between White's legs to strike him from behind. White howls in pain until Fevrik steps up and finishes him off. Mitzi gets on top of a crate and hits Yellow with a fireball. Dendri and Champion Ra both take a step to get better positioning and hit Yellow with Spell and Arrow.

Blue runs up to the Carnelian Signet and stabs her with his dagger.

Dagger vs Carnelian Signet AC 21, OG: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 for Piercing/Slashing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Dagger vs Carnelian Signet AC 21, OG, MAP, Agile: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 for Piercing/Slashing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Red joins the fray and also tries to poke the Carnelian Signet with his dagger.

Dagger vs Carnelian Signet AC 21, OG (Gang Up): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18 for Piercing/Slashing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Finally the Cheliaxan agent moves up and bellows "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! MY FAMILY HAS A HISTORY OF DEVIL WORSHIP! MY FAMILY'S DEVILS WILL WREAK HAVOC ON YOUR SOULS IF YOU DO NOT FLEE!!"

Intimidation vs Will DC (all enemies w/in 30 feet): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Champion Ra is not affected because he's out of range, Delta Variant is not affected as his DC is higher
