[Outpost VIII] PFS2 #6-08 Upon Wheels and Rime (Inactive)

Game Master cmlobue

Yup. I was so clever about the enemies attacking you each once because of Sweep and didn't bother to check who took what damage. 1 HP moves from Hadrimos to Lan.

"I fight for Iomedea and what is right and justice! You louts fight for what? Coin? Sad to die for so little."

◆Raises his shield
◆lays hands on himself
◆swings his longsword at red

+1 longsword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
slashing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Will retributive strike if red or green take a swipe at the kitty giving him 4 resistance to the attack.

+1 longsword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
slashing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Lan takes up a defensive stance, then makes a perfect swing at the guard in green.

Hadrimos unelashes the usual barrage of punches, making contact with just the first.

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Szvetneera casts a spell. An ethereal claw, talons dripping. appears in the air and tries to shove Lan.

Acid Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (7, 3) = 10
Reflex DC 21 vs. persistent damage and being moved

Possible locations for Lan's forced move marked.

She then casts again, granting a bit of insight to the guard in green.

Round 1 - bolded may go

Red
Green (-18 HP, guidance)
Lan (-28 HP, Reflex save)
Hadrimos (-20 HP)
Szvetneera
Huang Tong
Gwen
Nikma

HT focuses slightly, stars forming in his eyes. He focuses on Lan to try to give him some much needed healing.

Restore the Mind: +4hp

Glaring at Green. He growls and spits a fireball at him.

Ignition, Ranged: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 for Fire Damage: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2) + 1 = 6 Crit: Double Damage, 1d4 Persistent Fire

◇ Unleash psyche
◆ Restore the Mind
◆◆ Ignition

Nikma shrugs and prepares to fire past Hadrimos.

◆ Interact: draw longbow
◆ Hunt Prey: RED
◆ Strike RED: +1 longbow attack, piercing damage, dead damage IFF crit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 151d8 ⇒ 81d10 ⇒ 6
(magical, volley 30, range increment 100 feet, reload 0)

Lan tries to dodge out of the way of the claws
Ref (M): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

recovery check: 1d20 ⇒ 12

I think that mean Lan is moved from in front of Gwen.

Seeing Lan get dragged away by the ethereal claw, Gwen lifts her hands and the spray of stones erupts again, driving the two guards back and sending dozens of rocks into the nearby doorway. She calls to one of the men. "Hey cutie, you really working for this old crone? I wouldn't think that was your type, but I guess everybody has a kink."

Pummeling Rubble (Reflex DC19): 2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3
30 foot cone straight ahead hits Red and Green. Failing the save pushes them 5' (or 10' if crit fail) back.

Bot Mot vs Red Will DC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

◆◆ Pummeling Rubble
◆ Bot Mot

Lan is pushed away by the claw, and falls to the ground. Some of its ichor lingers on him.

Huang Tong restores life to his fallen comrade before breathing fire at the guard in green. He very nearly catches fire.

Nikma tries to fire over Hadrimos, but can't quite find a good angle for the shot.

Gwen conjures some rocks beneath the guards.

Reflex Save, Red: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Reflex Save, Green: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

The guard in red ducks out of the way of the worst of it. However, he is put off by the implication that he may be doing anything with Szvetneera and begins to stammer out a denial. He keeps after Hadrimos.

Red Battle Axe: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Red Battle Axe: 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 5 = 15
Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Red Battle Axe: 1d20 + 11 - 10 ⇒ (13) + 11 - 10 = 14
Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

If Hadrimos drops, he will substitute one Strike with a Stride to get toward the back row.

He does land a blow, but Hadrimos remains standing.

The guard in green steps forward and tries to hit Gwen hard enough to push her away.

Green Battle Axe: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 1 = 15
Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Shove: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 +1 if attack was success, +2 if it was critical success

Gwen gets out of the way of the axe.

Danixni rushes into the room. "I should have known you were behind this!" he growls at the matriarch.

You gain access to a new action for the duration of the encounter.
Any character may use it, but it can only be used once per round.
◆◆ Danixki lets out a vicious howl. Each enemy within 10 feet of the triggering PC must succeed a DC 19 Will save or be frightened 1, frightened 2 on a critical failure.

Round 2 - bolded may go

Red (-1 HP, -2 Perc/Will)
Green (-27 HP)
Hadrimos (-26 HP)
Lan (-30 HP, prone, wounded 1, 1d6 persistent acid)
Szvetneera
Huang Tong
Gwen
Nikma

Drunkenly stumbling, Red is Off Guard to Hadrimos's first strike.

I'm next to both of them, so I will use Danixki's Howl

◆◆ Danixki howls.

◆ Flurry of Swings vs Red: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 271d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 10 - 4 = 21for: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 71d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 damage is combined for weakness/resistance

If either hit, Fort Save DC 19 vs Stunning Blows

Will Save, Red: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Will Save, Green: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Fortitude Save, Red: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Danixki howls at the guards. Neither of them seems taken aback by the sound.

However, Hadrimos finds an opening to bash the one in red twice, the first causing him to stagger on his feet. Critical success to hit and critical fail for stun - care to fluff that?

Round 2 - bolded may go

Red (-20 HP, -2 Perc/Will, stunned 3)
Green (-27 HP)
Hadrimos (-26 HP)
Lan (-30 HP, prone, wounded 1, 1d6 persistent acid)
Szvetneera
Huang Tong
Gwen
Nikma

Reeling from the guard's strike Hadrimos swings around like his bones aren't attached. A fist slams into the guard's forehead followed by an elbow to the jaw.

◆Lan lays hands on himself healing for 6 hp
◆stands up
◆steps to flank green
Recovery check: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Lan, you are correct, your HP and wounded levels were wrong. The Stand is not required, so you have one action left.

Persistent Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Szvetneera moves closer to the Pathfinders, enveloping them all in a freezing aura.
Fort DC 21. Failure gives you weakness to cold 5.

She places a hex on Huang Tong, encasing his legs in frost.

Cold Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4
Reflex DC 21, failure also reduces speed

She then grants the guard in red some much-needed luck.

Round 2 - bolded may go

Red (-20 HP, -2 Perc/Will, stunned 3, guidance)
Green (-27 HP)
Hadrimos (-27 HP, Fort save)
Lan (-22 HP, Fort save, 1 action, 1d6 persistent acid)
Szvetneera
Huang Tong (Fort save, Reflex save)
Gwen (Fort save)
Nikma (Fort save)

Fort DC 21 vs cold: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Fort Save (DC21): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Gwen dodges the clumsy attack and retreats to allow the others to deal with him. She turns back to Red and jokes playfully. "So maybe not your thing? But it's most definitely her thing, amiright?"

◆ Step
◆◆ Cast Laughing Fit (Will DC19) on Red (with Will penalty)

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Ref: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Ref, HP, T-shirt: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 = 18

HT shivers as ice crystals from around his feet.

He focuses and gives himself some thermal shielding against both fire and ice. ◆ Amped Thermal Stasis

Resistance 2 to fire and cold for 1 minute

Growling, he turns his gaze on Green. "Gwen is a smoothskin that's protected by a Dragon! You will stay away from her!" he snarls, spitting another fireball at him...

Ignition, Ranged: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 for Fire Damage: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 3) + 1 = 5 Crit: Double Damage, 1d4 Persistent Fire

... his aim doesn't seem to agree with his bluster... His eyes droop and he swoons as exhaustion threatens to overwhelm him.

Stupefied 1

◆ Thermal Stasis
◆◆ Ignition

Nikma's teeth start to chatter a bit.

Fort DC 21 vs cold: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

He's no stranger to it though, Nikma has resist cold 1 and so steels himself and shifts to slash at the nearest foe...

◆ Switch held item: longbow -> bastard sword
◆ Hunt prey GREEN
◆ Strike GREEN: +1 bastard sword attack, slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 121d12 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

◆swing at green

+1 longsword: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 9 - 5 = 17
DAMAGE_TYPE: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Fort (E): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Lan takes one more swing at the guard in green, which causes it to fall to the ground.

Huang Tong turns his head to the red-clad enemy, calling upon his draconic protection against the elements and breathing a small fireball at the foe.

Nikma tries to swing at the remaining guard, but her aim may have been thrown off by having to swap targets on the fly.

Gwen makes another joke about the red guard's proclivities.

Will Save: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 2 = 22

He is not impressed.

The remaining guard can do nothing but shake off the effects of Hadrimos' punch.

Round 2 - bolded may go

Red (-25 HP, -2 Perc/Will, guidance)
Green
Hadrimos (-27 HP)
Lan (-22 HP, weak cold 5, 1d6 persistent acid)
Szvetneera

If either hit, then Fort Save DC 19 vs Stunning Blows

◆ Strike: 1d20 + 10 - 8 ⇒ (14) + 10 - 8 = 16for: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8

Szvetneera declines to help you flank her guard.

Want to change, knowing that Blue is an enemy?

Nikma tries to swing at the remaining guard, but her aim may have been thrown off by having to swap targets on the fly.

his :)

Yes, stride to flanking rather than step

Lan is trying to hold back his rage as best he can under th circumstances.

"I hope dying for coin brings your life fulfillment! I did warn you."

◆Lan will raise shield
◆Stride north of Red
◆And attempt to fell the other folish guard

+1 longsword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
slashi.ng: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Hadrimos moves around and thumps Szvetneera once.

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

She has no problem retaining focus.

The remaining guard bellows "Fight me!" at Hadrimos.

Intimidation, Demoralize: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11

He is not in a good position to make demands, though.

Lan hacks at the guard.

Persistent Acid: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Recovery: 1d20 ⇒ 4

His clothes sizzle a bit, but he still makes contact.

Szvetneera steps back and casts a spell at Lan.

Cold Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7
Fort save vs. damage and adding bludgeoning weakness.

Round 2 - bolded may go

Red (-30 HP, -2 Perc/Will, guidance)

Szvetneera (-5 HP)
Huang Tong (-4 HP, -5 speed, resist fire/cold 2)
Gwen (weak cold 5)
Nikma (weak cold 4)

Fort (E): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Gwen stamps her foot. "Fine, you're not even going to indulge a girl a little?!" She looks towards Szvetneera. "You look too old to even play, crone!"

She tugs hard at her scarf, nearly pulling it off. Deep scars encircle her neck and give the peppy girl a sinister look. For an instant Gwen look hungry, and in the next lightning flies from her other hand towards the two enemies.

Bot Mot vs Szvetneera's Will DC: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Electric Arc (Reflex DC19): 3d4 ⇒ (1, 3, 3) = 7

◆ Bot Mot vs Szvetneera
◆◆ Electric Arc on both of them

HT tries to concentrate...

Stupefied: 1d20 ⇒ 18

His mind clear, he spits a bunch of icy toothpicks at Red.

Needle Darts: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 for Piercing: 3d4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2, 1) + 1 = 7 Crit: Double Damage, 1 persistent bleed

Seeing the toothpicks clatter against the wall, he moves into a more protective (??) position in front of Gwen.

◆◆ Needle Darts
◆ Stride

Well, you're outnumbered now.

Nikma moves forward and slashes at the last one.

◆ Hunt prey RED
◆ Step N
◆ Strike RED: +1 bastard sword attack, slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 191d12 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Lan does manage to resist some of the cold, though Szvetneera's aura makes it bite deeper.

Huang Tong hurls needles at the guard, but they bounce harmlessly of his armor.

Gwen's joke about the matriarch falls flat, but her spell works just fine.

Reflex, Szvetneera: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Reflex, Red: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

The remaining guard falls to the ground.

Nikma, changing your actions to Hunt/Stride/Strike because of lack of target.

Nika moves in on Szvetneera. Only his keen hunter's instincts allows him to hit the matriarch.

Round 3 - bolded may go

◆ Strike: 1d20 + 10 - 8 ⇒ (5) + 10 - 8 = 7for: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 = 11

Lan pushes past the pain to take two dezperate swings at the caster

+1 longsword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
DAMAGE_TYPE: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

+1 longsword: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 5 = 16
DAMAGE_TYPE: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Then raise his shield

recovery: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Nikma, changing your actions to Hunt/Stride/Strike because of lack of target.

Makes sense. Thank you!

Hadrimos and Lan both swing furiously at the matriarch, but none of their blows connect.

Persistent Acid: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Somehow, Lan manages to hold on despite the acid continuing to eat into him.

Szvetneera steps back once more and conjures a blast of cold at Nikma and Lan.

Cold Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4
Reflex DC 21 vs. damage and speed reduction

Lan goes to dying on anything but a critical success, and then possibly more dying due to persistent damage.

Round 3-4 - bolded may go

Red
Green
Hadrimos (-27 HP)
Lan (-33 HP, weak cold 5, 1d6 persistent acid, Reflex save)
Szvetneera (-24 HP)
Huang Tong (-4 HP, -5 speed, resist fire/cold 2)
Gwen (weak cold 5)
Nikma (weak cold 4, Reflex save)

HT runs into the other room as best he can, frozen feet slowing him down. He again concentrates to clear the cobwebs.

Stupefied, DC 6: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Growling, he spits another fireball at Szvetneera.

Ignition, Ranged: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 for Fire Damage: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3) + 1 = 8 Crit: Double Damage, 1d4 Persistent Fire

◆ Stride
◆◆ Ignition

with acid burning his body Lan tries his best to dodge the blast giving a silent blessing to Iomedea hoping that Pharasma sees fit to place him by Iomedea's side.

Ref (M): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Ouch! Crit fail. Do you want to hero point that or save it for if you get to dying 4?

Lan drops to the floor.

Huang Tong concentrates well enough to hit the matriarch with another fireball.

Round 3-4 - bolded may go

Red
Green
Hadrimos (-27 HP)
Lan (-34 HP, dying 2, weak cold 5, 1d6 persistent acid, Recovery check)
Szvetneera (-32 HP)
Huang Tong (-4 HP, -5 speed, resist fire/cold 2)

◆ Hadrimos steps up.

◆ Strike: 1d20 + 10 - 8 ⇒ (1) + 10 - 8 = 3for: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Despite his background and hardiness in this cold, this magical frost is getting to Nikma.

DC 21 Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Still, he has practice resisting and enduring it.

Stepping to keep up with her he whirls his blade in front of him, in both hands, ready to swing it at her at the right moment...

◆ Step W

◆ Strike BLUE: +1 bastard sword attack, slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 141d12 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
◆ Strike BLUE: +1 bastard sword attack (flurry), slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 3 = 181d12 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Gwen rushes over to Lan, her sweet back for a moment as she provides him some much needed healing over his wounds. "Come on, sweet boy. I'm not letting the Queen get all weepy over losing you."

Healing: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (1, 5) + 16 = 22

◆ Move
◆◆ Heal (R2)

Going to use Lan's recovery roll for clearing the persistent damage, since he would have been conscious by the time he had to make it. Which also means he gets a turn.

Gwen brings Lan back from the brink.

Nikma completely avoids the matriarch's spell. Unfortunately, Szvetneera also completely avoids his sword swings.

Hadrimos lands one more punch.

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

But she is able to keep her faculties.

Round 4 - bolded may go

DAMAGE_TYPE: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Lan gets up and swings twice at Szvetneera, but is still a bit too woozy to make contact.

Persistent Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

He finally shakes off the acid.

The matriarch, backed into a corner, casts another spell. Provoking a reaction from Nikma if he has one.

Hadrimos, DC 21 Will save before your turn.

Athletics (TEML): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Gwen turns back to Szvetneera with a sneer. "You're sitll here, b%&@!?" She rushes to HT's side. Lightning arcs out towards the matriarch again.

Electric Arc (Reflex DC19): 3d4 ⇒ (3, 1, 2) = 6

◆ Move
◆◆ Electric Arc

No you don't...

He quickly slashes at her to disrupt the spell...

↻Strike BLUE: +1 bastard sword attack, slashing damage (two-hand, magical): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 201d12 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The corner was a poor choice...

Nikma taunts grimly as he sets his blade against her again.

Apparently she knew what the dice would do, lol
