Down the Blighted Path

Game Master Mustaparta

Realizing a fight is on them, Dorn rushes in, screaming guttural curses in Dwarven.

Surprise round action, single move into room. Assuming from the Initiative order that I'm also going to have a full round's action at the start of combat, here's my round one actions (full attack):

Rage contorts Dorn's features once again and he looks like a man possessed as he lashes out at the closest duergar.

Attack, rage, power attack vs Green: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 11 + 2 - 2 = 23
2H Damage, raging, power attack, witch hunter: 1d10 + 9 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 6 + 2 = 23

Attack, rage, power attack vs Green: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 - 2 = 13
2H Damage, raging, power attack, witch hunter: 1d10 + 9 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 6 + 2 = 26

Witch hunter gives extra damage against foes who have spells or spell like abilities, which I believe duergar do. If not applicable, -2 damage from each attack

Before he has chance to react, green is struck near fatal wound by raging barbarian. With his last remaining strength he swings axe at his attacker, misses and falls unconscious on the floor.

dwarven waraxe vs. Dorn, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 8 - 1 = 16

Red curses in Undercommon, uses his magic to grow larger and approaches Dorn who delivers serious wound to the dwarf. Redirecting the second attack He is killed by bullet shot from corridor.

Kaleena, Damiel and Glorin next

if Kaleenas action went off after Dorns move in and attack then she would have moved to the opening and shot. I just moved here to that spot. If she has a new round action then...

Kaleena reloads and has a readied action on the remaining evil dwarf if he should step towards her.

Glorin rushes into the room and prepares for battle.

Move action, draw urgrosh, brace to receive a charge.

Botting Damiel Damiel runs into room and takes cover behind table to the left.

Duergar boss mutters something in his language and uses his magic to grow in size preparing to hit anyone approaching.

Yellow goon hastily fires crossbow at Glorin, but shot is off.

heavy crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Therin's turn

can someone add me near the door...i'm on my tablet...ty

Therin moves in and makes a motion with his hand.

Sarenrae, blind my foes! and a brilliant burst of light appears in the middle of the dwarves.

casting burst of radiance, SR applies
blinded/dazzled, dc 16: 1d4 ⇒ 2
damage if evil: 3d4 ⇒ (3, 2, 4) = 9

The spell makes evil dwarves scream in agony and two are blinded.

Reflex (Haab): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Reflex (yellow): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Reflex (blue): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Cursing his bad luck blue crouches behind the leader until he regains his eyesight. Total defense

Dorn, Kaleena, Damiel and Glorin next

"Fire in the hole!" Damiel chucks a bomb at the big evil dwarf
Bomb PBS Touch AC: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 = 15 Fire: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 = 8
6 fire splash dmg for Blue and Yellow, DC16 Reflex half

Thank you for botting. I was feeling unwell in the past couple days and Chrome removing the campaign tool extension support is not helpful

Glorin narrows his eyes. "Oh, so you think being big will solve your problems, eh?" he challenges. He deftly steps inside his range to stab and strike with his urgrosh.

Take a 5' step, then full attack.

Spear attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Spear Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Axe attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Axe damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Kaleena moves into the room to find a safe spot to shoot at the large fella'...

+1 Reliable Musket+PBS vs touch: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21...DMG: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Acrobatics if need be to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Reflex (yellow): 1d20 ⇒ 5
Reflex (blue): 1d20 ⇒ 8

Goons take full damage of bomb. All three hit the leader, though Glorin misses with axe-end of urgosh.

Dorn's turn, botting tomorrow

Sorry, I wasn't sure if that was meant as a holdover from last round or not. That was my fault.

Dorn nods an agreement with Glorin's sentiments and steps forward to try a similar tactic of 'hit the enemy really hard.'

Attack, rage, power attack vs Haab: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 2 - 2 = 14
2H Damage, raging, power attack, witch hunter: 1d10 + 9 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 6 + 2 = 24

Attack, rage, power attack vs Green: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 2 - 2 = 20
2H Damage, raging, power attack, witch hunter: 1d10 + 9 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 6 + 2 = 18

Sorry, I had misread big fella's AC earlier, Glorin didn't hit him.

Dorn misses first, but second strike seriously wounds enemy. Duergar retaliates with hammer strike that could easily have killed weaker foes. He mutters something ominous in his language.

+1 warhammer: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
+1 warhammer: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 1) + 5 = 8
+1 warhammer, confirm: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
crit damage: 4d6 + 10 ⇒ (4, 5, 1, 3) + 10 = 23

Therin can act

who got hit? so i know who to heal

who got hit? so i know who to heal

He hit Dorn.

Therin heals some of Dorn's wounds, helping him deal with the threat.

cure moderate: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (5, 6) + 6 = 17

25 hp healed...added 50% from healer's blessing, the domain ability...sory thought i posted yesterday...my bad

Will save vs DC 15: 1d20 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 3 = 12 Fail

The dwarf roars in fury when he feels himself being assaulted by a spell, by foul, cursed magic--

He wheels on Therin with murder in his eyes, but registers at the last moment that this is... an ally, another Pathfinder. And that the spell did not hurt him, but rather... eased his injuries.... Hnnnnhhhh.

With a small wordless snarl he turns back to the actual threat at hand. He will talk to the healer after the battle.

Blue cowers behind large boss.

Dorn, Kaleena, Damiel and Glorin next

Another bomb goes to the big evil dwarf
PBS, vs Touch: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 1 = 12 Fire: 2d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 6) + 4 + 1 = 12

Kaleena takes a 5 foot step to get a better shot on the big dwarf and pulls the trigger on Thunderclap
+1 Reliable Musket+PBS vs touch: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29...DMG: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

"That's a big fella!"

His mind once more on the enemy, Dorn pushes the assault.

Attack, rage, power attack vs Haab: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 2 - 2 = 14
2H Damage, raging, power attack, witch hunter: 1d10 + 9 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 6 + 2 = 27

Attack, rage, power attack vs Haab: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 - 2 = 23
2H Damage, raging, power attack, witch hunter: 1d10 + 9 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 6 + 2 = 23

After seeing Dorn attack their foes with such viciousness Kaleena says to those near her "I think it best to stay out of Dorns way..."

Glorin just gets to work striking at the leader.

Spear Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Spear Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Axe Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Axe Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Dorn misses first, but second strike brings down the large duergar. Damiel's bomb burns the henchmen, who are defeated by Kaleena and Glorin.

Reflex (yellow): 1d20 ⇒ 9
Reflex (blue): 1d20 ⇒ 12

Combat over

The boss had magic warhammer and cloak, mwk breastplate, 2 pts of cure moderate wounds and a key ring. One of keys in the ring fits a locked chest below the bar, which contains 120 pp, 453 gp, four pts of cure light wounds, two pts of hide from undead, and five cut amethysts (worth 100 gp each). In his pocket you find a note (on slide 6, skill checks below reveal more info). His goons had chainmails, heavy crossbows, warhammers and 4 pts of CLW and 4 alchemist's fire flasks. On the room you also find ornate longsword carved from onyx, a suit of masterwork full plate, and an adamantine spiked chain.

Well, i'm glad that's over...how bad is everyone hurt... Therin eyes Dorn, but waits until he is a bit calmer before attempting to heal him.

lmk who needs what..also, i cant make those checks...and the frontliners should take the healing pots....Damiel take the alc fires...in case you run low on bombs...

Damiel will gladly takes the alchemist's fire. He add INT to alchem fire damage too
"Thanks"

Local: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
"I'm thinking this is Zohir Totek, the apprentice to the fey necromancer Karexin, whom Delbera Axebringer and her adventuring companions made their name defeating... I heard some of the dwarves in town talking about this over some beers."

Gore-spattered from the fight, the shorter of the two dwarves in the party stands there breathing hard, the wild look slowly fading from his gaze. He grunts once at Kaleena's words, then crouches to wipe his blade on the garments of the fallen (he's less particular about cleaning himself up).

After a few moments he says raspily to Therin: "In... battle... magic... feels like threat. Even healing magic. Bad experience, once." He rubs at the deep scars on his scalp.

"After is good. If I fall.... my own fault."

Healing always appreciated, and I apologize for not having communicated OOCly about the in-battle clause of the superstitious barbarian-- fortunately I failed my save so you didn't waste your spell, Therin! But yeah, if I go down in a fight, that's on me, so don't worry about trying to heal me in battle. After your heal I'm only down 2 hp, which I don't think is worth spending a resource on.

He lapses back into silence, having no insights into the significance of the history of the area. He does inspect the weapons the enemies carried. The onyx sword is... interesting. He adds it to the collection of weapons lashed to his pack. A heavy crossbow as well, and some bolts.

"Glorin," he says in Dwarven to the human-shaped dwarf. "You need adamantine? Good chain, here."

Dorn already has an adamantine weapon and it doesn't look like Glorin does, so I'd suggest Glorin take the spiked chain. Sadly, it's an exotic weapon, but it might be worth keeping for a bad DR fight even with the penalty to hit!

Looks like 2 CMWs and 8 total CLWS. How about 1 CMW and 1 CLW each for Dorn and Glorin, and then the remaining 6 CLW means 2 CLW for Kaleena, Therin, and Damiel?

ahh..makes sense then...gotcha...only heal of you fall down go boom...or splat...lok...i'll take the 2 clw pots..never hurts to have spares...

Duly noted...I'll have to research that. I'm not familiar with that issue. he says making a mental note to remember that.

does channeling provoke your spell rage?

Duly noted...I'll have to research that. I'm not familiar with that issue. he says making a mental note to remember that.

The dwarf grunts. "Nothin' to research. Not 'issue.' Just.... don't like magic."

He looks dubiously at Therin's holy symbol a moment. "When you hold that up and healing comes out.... that's.... alright."

To clarify in case my flavor text was confusing: don't worry, I won't actually attack any fellow PC! Superstitious just forces me to attempt to resist any spell cast on me while I am raging, even beneficial ones. Channeling, however, is not a spell, so it's a good option and a good question!

Move your tokens accordingly where you want next to go. My internet access during weekend may be not so good.

"Glorin," he says in Dwarven to the human-shaped dwarf. "You need adamantine? Good chain, here."

Glorin takes the spiked chain. "This is good chain. Yes, I'll carry this. It's always good to have a couple backups."

He also pulls a vial off his belt. "By the way, I also have that enlarging trick available, should we need it." He puts it away and grins, adding, "It was pretty clear that we didn't need it here."

Expecting more hostiles, Damiel drinks his mutagen in preparation

Kaleena reloads and moves to cover the doorway for whomever decides to open it

With looting achieved, Dorn moves to the only door that seems to lead further in. He listens at it, and looks it over for any signs of sabotage, before he opens it.

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

If he sees no signs of danger on the door, he opens it.

You don't hear anything implying presence of other creatures. Door doesn't seem odd either. To your right you see stairs leading up. To left is empty passage.

Dorn pulls back enough to explain to the others what he sees. "Stay this level? Passage?"

Assuming nobody else thinks they should explore the stairs immediately, Dorn starts down the hallway, keeping an eye out for traps as he goes.

Per for danger: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16

Moved myself on the map, but I haven't moved anyone else. It looks like there's a lot of doors on the map too if the map is accurate. Also, I'm assuming it took us at least a minute to loot the enemy, identify their potions, etc, so that I am no longer fatigued

"Lots of doors," Dorn calls over his shoulder to the others.

Kaleena moves behind Dorn with her musket aimed at the double doors in the middle. "I reckon pick one of them doors and open it... just make sure it isnt dangerous." she tells him.

Damiel follows behind

You can see that the passage branches to right after double doors. No traps are found.

Dorn grunts at Kaleena's words, considering the wisdom. There are many areas here, many doors, and duergar are sneaky foes. He mislikes leaving unexplored areas behind them. But where to start? The nearest door, he supposes, taking the half-orc's advice.

He steps closer to the nearest door he can see (E13) and tries the handle.

Took the liberty of moving Therin and Glorin into at least the same hall as the rest of us.

Kaleena continually moves to support and angry man with her musket.

thanks..

Therin follows, his crossbow ready to add to Kaleena's musket if needed.

Damiel overwatch with bomb

Dorn opens the door. This pentagonal room is decorated with comfortable chairs and sofas around a fireplace. A small bust of Delbera Axebringer sits in the northernmost corner. The bust is finely crafted marble, there is nothing else of interest.

Dorn grunts. He moves in, examines the bust, and absently puts it into his pack. They can return it to her descendants once the place is cleared of the invading undead filth.

"We check behind us," he says gutturally, and detours back briefly to rooms they've only glanced in.

For the sake of thoroughness, Dorn is circling through E15 to make sure we're not missing anything of interest, then going to the door to E16, checking it for trouble, and opening it.

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

A heavy partition divides this room into two sections. Shattered glass and looted armor and weapon racks litter the north end of the room, where a massive display case stands open and empty. A half-dozen animal trophies fill the southern half of the room, including the mounted head of a bulette looms from the eastern wall, a stuffed cloaker hangs from the ceiling in mid-swoop, and a taxidermic dire boar prepares to charge from his central plinth.

Anyone entering E15, roll Perception.

Kaleena peeks into the obvious hunting trophy room to see if there is anything of interest...
Perception: 1d12 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Perc: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Damiel peeking at the right half of the room
