Shades of [ULTRA PLUS] Ice [CORE]

Game Master Will Huston

Shannon have her glaive out and follows.
Stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Leon waits where he is at since no one moved very far.

Corgrim and Bobbie and Corba and Shannon find several kegs, that may once have had beer in them, but have long since been cracked and drunk dry. But no sign of stolen Pathfinder scholars.

Leon shrugs, moves up to the bar and sets down the giant chest.

”Das heaveh, gonna setter dawn naw. Ya check dose doahs naw?”

Bobbie takes a peek into the room on her left.

Bobbie finds a room filled with bottling equipment. In the corner of the room, there's a collapsed set of shelves and what looks like dozens of bottles' worth of broken glass

Bobbie takes a quick look around the room. Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 "Nothing there."

Corba follows Bobbie, peeks around the wall and scans the room, too.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

"So many broken bottles! Looks like all were empty, at least..."

So far the rooms are 0 for 2 on having any missing Pathfinder scholars in them. Nothing interesting in this room either!

Bobbie leads the way into the larger room. Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Leon sighs as no bartender, ghostly or real, appears.

”Wassa guy gotteh do ta gessum sahvace heah.”

He picks up the chest and moves to look over the group’s shoulders, ”Anytin?”

Perc: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14

Opening the door, Bobbie immediately hears dogs barking. They ain't on leashes kids, as they howl and start to run at the door. White spittle and slobber stream from their mouths. These dogs do not look healthy.

RedDog initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
GreenDog initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
BlueDog initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

ShannonDog initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

BobDog initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
CayDog initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Round 1

Leon
Bobbie
Green Dog
Red Dog
Corgrim
Blue dog
Cayden

"Heiress," Bobbie swears under her breath. She intercepts the nearest dog, slicing its back. Move + Draw Weapon; Attack

Power Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 4 = 13

Leon quickly lowers the chest to the ground and chugs into the room, drawing his scythe, ”Chopem dawn naw, prolleh gah rebbies.”

Knowledge: Nature to identify: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 Not bad! :-D

"Well, I guess the stealthy part of this exploration is over."
CorbaDog ;-) steps closer to the door and starts singing.
"Who let the dogs out? Who, who, who, who, who?"

standard action to start a bardic performance (Inspire Courage), move action to move closer to the doors

Inspire Courage: +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls

Leon replies to the question, ”Bobbeh did, but das okeh. Shannun? Could use ya sward heah.”

Double move behind Leon, glaive in hands

Bobbie's blade sinks deep into the dog's fur, cutting into it harshly!

The other pathfinders scramble to try to get to Bobbie!

One of the dogs rushes forward, barreling forward at Bobbie.

Green Dog Bite, Charge: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6

But its fangs snap off kilter and far away from Bobbie's grieves.

The other dog, with Bobbie's sword sticking out of it, tries to snap at Bobbie as well.

Red Dog Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

The sword wound is too much, and it falls unconscious and dying at Bobbie's feet.

Round 1
Corba
Shannon
Leon
Bobbie
Green Dog
Corgrim
Blue dog
Cayden

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Corgrim, seeing that the fighters have the upper hand, keeps alert and looks around for any more foes while readying his own short sword

Leon encourages the group, "Onleh a cuppla dawgs, we gaht dis."

Well, if no one is moving...

With brutal efficiency, Bobbie slashes the dog who just attacked her with her blade.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 2 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 4 = 10

@Bobbie: Corba is singing to Inspire Courage in all of you, so please add +1 to hit and damage!

@GM: I don't think it will matter much, but did Corba identify the dogs?

Knowledge: Nature to identify: (13) + 6 = 19 Not bad! :-D

@GM: Also, I think it's the blue dog's turn. And if it ends up adjacent to the green dog, it's possible that Bobbie can use Cleave.

@Corba: The dogs are definitely rabid. Not much to know besides that, but if you want one question answered, I will do so.

Corgrim doesn't notice anything, but Bobbie slams her sword into the dog and it is bleeding. Blood blood everywhere.

The remaining dog barrels down at Leon.

Blue bite vs Leon, Charging: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12

Round 1/2
Cayden
Corba
Shannon
Leon
Green Dog (-11)
Corgrim
Blue dog

Bobbie

Cayden moves forward, and looks around.

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29.

"Beware! We have ambushers up in the rafters!"

The Brute steps to the side and hacks at the dog in front of him.

MW Scythe + IC: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 1 = 17 for Slashing + IC: 2d4 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1) + 7 + 1 = 13

Then looks up, ”Whare? Up dere? Ehnt see nuttin.”

Shannon swings at green
Glaice: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 Dmg: 1d10 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

Corba continues to sing. "...who let the dogs out? Who, who, who, who, who?"
She moves next to Leon and briefly looks up.
"Ambushers? Where?"
But she quickly decides to deal with the threat in front of her first and tries to drop the rabid dog with her longsword. blue

Longsword, IC: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 = 23 :-D
Slashing, IC: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

free action to maintain her bardic performance (Inspire Courage), move action to move next to Leon, standard action to attack

Inspire Courage: +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls

Since Cayden spotted, and I can't figure a way to run this in a grouped Initiative, we'll just basically restart initiative.

Cayden spots goblins in the rafters with glass vials in their hands. They are 30 feet up, but with lot of open air and relatively small wooden planks that they stand in wait on.

Round 3
Cayden
Corba
Shannon
Leon
Bobbie
Corgrim
Pink Goblin
Brown Goblin
Blue Goblin

Corba continues to sing - with slightly changed lyrics. "...who let the gobs out? Who, who, who, who, who?"

She then adresses the goblins directly: "It's dangerous to be that high up! You better come down here!"
The bard moves a bit closer and summons a layer of bacon grease directly under the feet of the two goblins next to each other.
(Brown and Blue, see map)

casting grease, creatures in the area must make a DC 16 Reflex save or fall prone

Is there a way to get up there?

Leon squints up at the gobbos, remembering the last pack of them were not very nice. He pulls out a javelin while moving and grunts as he flings it upwards.

Cold Iron Javelin v Purple + IC: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 1 = 25 for Cold Iron/Piercing + IC: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 = 10

Crit?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 for Extra Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Corgrim gives an appreciative whistle

Well, I guess you pinned that one to the ceiling, Leon!

Thrown dagger: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

In one swift motion, Corgrim takes and throw his dagger, aiming not at a goblin, but at the glass vial it holds

Beware below!

I get closer to 33.5 feet, but I'll take it, Corba ;).

Reflex Save, Brown: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Reflex Save, Blue: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Both of the goblins wobblin', but they don't fall down.

The one goblin to the side takes Leon javelin to the chest, which makes it let out a mighty roar of pain.

There's not stairs or a ladder as far as you can see, Shannon, but the giant brew vats to the south nearly reach the ceiling. I'll need some skill checks to get up there

Little unsure how to rule on your post, Corgrim. The descriptive text makes it sound like a disarm or a sunder check, but RAW, those can only be made in place of a melee attack. I'll let you keep the roll, but can you help me in determining what rules you want this to go by? OR if you want to transfer this to an attack roll, I'd also allow that.

Round 3
Cayden
Corba
Shannon
Leon
Bobbie
Corgrim
Pink Goblin (-20)
Brown Goblin
Blue Goblin

Cayden pulls out his sling, and loads it.

Bobbie drops her longsword, takes her crossbow, and casually loads it.

Shannon finds cover behind the wall, put down her glaive and draw her bow as she move, and shoots the blue goblin
Longbow: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 1 = 10 Dng: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12
but missed

I was aiming at breaking the vial via a thrown dagger (dmg vs glass resistance/hp?) so the goblin can't throw it at us

Okay, this is a bit interesting. The rules for damaging objects say that the method to accomplish this is a sunder attempt, which specifies that it needs to be in place of a melee attack roll, but the general rules for damaging object has a section that ranged attacks do 1/2 damage. I'm going to allow this ranged sunder attempt, but I'd expect a lot of table variation on something like this. Because of the half damage, I do actually need a damage roll from you, Corgrim.

Dmg: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Ranged Sneak attack to Sunder (if allowed!): 2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9

Sneak attack wouldn't work, since you need to be within 30 feet to sneak attack with a ranged attack, but if you rolled minimum damage, you wouldn't have broken the vial.

Corgrim's arrow knocks the little glass vile from the goblin's hands and it crashes to the ground. "My mutie mute!" it hisses in Goblin.

Shannon's arrow misses the goblins, while the other Pathfinders get out their secondary ranged weapons.

Brown and Blue both drink their little glass vials, and drop the glass vials carelessly below.

"My mutie mute!" The remaining goblin scream and chunks a glass vial at Leon below.

Bomb vs Leon's AC, Range Penalty: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 9 - 2 = 24
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (1, 3) + 1 = 5

Round 4
Cayden
Corba
Shannon
Leon (-5)
Bobbie
Corgrim
Pink Goblin (-20)
Brown Goblin
Blue Goblin

The big man grunts as he gets a little cooked, then flings another javelin, ”I’ve ha wurse sunbahns den dat!”

Cold Iron Javelin v Pink + IC: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 1 = 24 for Cold Iron/Piercing + IC: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9

Cayden moves forward, and fires a sling bullet at the nearest goblin.

Sling: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6, for 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Bludgeoning damage.

I'm just noticing this now, but Corgrim, did you move your token? I thought you were up near the rest of the party. I'm not going to go back and re-adjust, but where you are now, the range penalties, you wouldn't have hit, and since the doors aren't 30 feet tall, I don't think you'd even a line of effect to the goblins.

I'm pretty sure I haven't moved my token in a while, my bad, I supposed I was in the same room than Leon and others as they fought the dogs.

Corba continues to sing.

"...who let the gobs out? Who, who, who, who, who?"

She then adresses one of the goblins directly:

"Hey, you in the ugly blue rags! Stop right now, thank you very much..." (Link)

casting daze on blue, Will DC 15 negates
30 ft up, 15 ft away on the floor = 34 ft away diagonally - spell range is 35 ft

Finally, she moves back a bit.

free action to maintain her bardic performance (Inspire Courage), standard action to cast spell, move action to move (see map)

Inspire Courage: +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls

Bobbie moves to shoot one of the goblins. On Blue

Attack (+1 IC): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Damage (+1 IC): 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Longbow: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 = 11 Dmg: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11
She continue firing at blue goblin

Leon's javelin strikes again, and red blood starts oozing from the Pink Goblin's wounds.

Blue Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
It falls to the ground. Falling Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 3) = 10

The brown goblin throws another bomb, this time against Bobbie
Brown Bomb: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 - 2 = 12
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 4) + 1 = 10
That's a miss but I'll need a DC 12 Reflex save. 3 damage on a fail, 1 on a success

Pink throws a bomb against Leon.
Pink Bomb: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 - 2 = 13
Fire Damage: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2) + 1 = 7 Same deal, I'll need a DC 12 reflex save. 3 damage on a fail, 1 on a success

Round 4
Cayden
Corba
Shannon
Leon (DC 12 Reflex Save, -8 or -6 depending)
Bobbie (DC 12 Reflex Save, -3 or -1, depending)
Corgrim
Pink Goblin (-29)
Brown Goblin
Blue Goblin (-10, prone on the ground)

Bobbie spots the bomb and jumps back, dodging most of the splash.

Reflex (-2 Armor Penalty): 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 - 2 = 13

She counterattacks with a crossbow bolt.

Attack (+1 IC): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Damage (+1 IC): 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Leon is already bolting towards the one who fell so the fire only skims him. His scythe is now gripped in two hands and he swings hard, ”Dat hed gunna roll!”

MW Scythe + IC: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 = 27 for Slashing + IC: 2d4 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4) + 7 + 1 = 16
