Kal'Ryon, I believe if you're moving in a straight line, you can Run for 4x speed for +CON rounds. This is just something I remember from the Glass Cannon Podcast, but I did find a d20pfsrd page. link.

I think the descriptions are off, Blue and Red should be down, correct, with only Green remaining?

Sorry, I don't know if I missed the second shot or forgot when I was ready to post, but that is a hit.

I did forget the hail penalty, but I just wanted to double check. If it missed due to the rocks, which I suspect it did due to Scarlet's 23 missing, Bocke will not use Rapid Shot.

Bocke calls down a Judgement of Justice, and fires twice at Yellow.

Longbow, PBS, haste, hail, judgement: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 1 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 13 + 1 + 1 - 4 + 2 = 21

Damage, PBS: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9 plus Electricity: 1d6 ⇒ 3 plus Bane (construct): 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8

Bocke's second shot, a 27, missed? Just checking, because if it did, I might stop using Rapid Shot.

Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 vs DC 14

Bocke enacts bane (construct), and focuses on the one that is already wounded.

Longbow, RS, first range increment (70'): 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 13 - 2 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 plus Shock: 1d6 ⇒ 1 plus Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

Longbow, RS, first range increment (70'): 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 13 - 2 = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 plus Shock: 1d6 ⇒ 3 plus Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7

Bocke is too busy reading to notice the attacks beginning.

Bocke will contribute any Knowledge checks that he can, but he's not particularly adept at anything.

Bocke can offer to cast heightened awareness on the commander if it would help him plan more efficiently.

she's at 64/73, which is probably fine for now. She'll recover the rest overnight.

Bocke taps Aja with his wand of CLW anyway.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Now you can be probably fine with a few more HP. :)

Bocke also volunteers his wand after using it on himself first.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

43 charges remaining

Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Bocke takes full damage, and steps back, and keeps firing.

Longbow, RS, IC, DF, bane: 1d20 + 13 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 13 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 34
Blunt Arrow, IC, DF, bane: 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 + 2 + (3, 3) = 21 plus Electricity: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Longbow, RS, IC, DF, bane, iterative: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 14
Blunt Arrow, IC, DF, bane: 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 + 2 + (1, 4) = 16 plus Electricity: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Bocke will bane his weapon against undead, and begin firing blunt arrows.

Longbow, RS, IC, DF, bane: 1d20 + 13 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 13 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 28
Blunt Arrow, IC, DF, bane: 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 + 2 + (4, 4) = 23 plus Electricity: 1d6 ⇒ 6

"This is a creature known as a GASHADOKURO. It is created when a number of creatures die of starvation and their skeletal remains combine into a single ravenous undead. It's hunger is so great that those nearby suffer from it. It can devour its prey whole. And, as may be expected given its bony nature it his highly resistant to any form of physical harm except bludgeoning."

Bocke would likely have started towards the back of the pack, so would need to move to get line of sight.

Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Bocke would like to know about resistances and weaknesses, specifically, whether regular arrows would work.

Bocke casts divine favor.

Any place is okay with Bocke. Garrison has Diplomacy, which is a skill Bocke actually has, but haunted shore is cool, too.

Clearly we could easily make 80%+ of these checks without difficulty

Well, one of the problems that Bocke, at least (and I suspect others) cannot make 80% of these checks. Off the top of my head, I think my best skill is +6, and it doesn't apply to every section we visit.

I agree that at some point we need to do a calculation on whether it's better for a few of us to be running these skill checks or whether we should attempt to move on to the evacuation, even if it's harder (for having skipped the checks) because we get more time.

Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Bocke examines the mushrooms, but he knows very little about the strange subterranian world.

I keep forgetting that Haste also affects movement. XD 90% of the time it's the extra attack that's valuable.

Longbow, hasted, IC: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 13 + 1 + 2 = 36
Piercing, Destruction, IC: 1d8 + 4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 3 + 2 = 13

Confirm
Longbow, hasted, IC: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 1 + 2 = 27

Bocke will double move to get line of sight.

If Blue is still up, Bocke will make a full attack on Blue. If Blue is down, Bocke will move up and try to see what this "hidden" thing is. Also, I forget how one Seeks in PF1. Can we target a square with a DC 51 d100 check?

Bocke steps back and calls down a Judgement of Destruction, firing at Yellow.

Longbow, Haste, IC: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 1 + 2 = 27
Piercing, Destruction, IC: 1d8 + 4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 3 + 2 = 10 plus Electricity: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Longbow, Haste, IC: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 13 + 1 + 2 = 30
Piercing, Destruction, IC: 1d8 + 4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 3 + 2 = 10 plus Electricity: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Longbow, Haste, IC: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 20
Piercing, Destruction, IC: 1d8 + 4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 3 + 2 = 12 plus Electricity: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Bocke is pretty much out of options, although he can try to beat Kal'Ryon's 16 Diplomacy.

Day 2 Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

"We can see if there's any old books about Nethys there ..."

Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Bocke doesn't have much Diplomacy or Knowledge, so I can putz around but when it comes to rolling dice, Bocke doesn't have much to contribute.

I've been checking regularly, but I can throw in my two cents if it's not going to hurt more than it helps.

Bocke can try Diplomacy, but his modifier is ... slightly worse than Almaas's.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

"That seems awfully steep. We are humble merchants. How about 10 gp each?"

No dungeoneering, geography or history. :(

"To clarify, if we are allowed to trade, is it only the goods provided, or could we promise more?"

Diazepane is leveled out, so I'm bringing this (Level 7!) archer.

Bocke looks around nervously. It's been a while since he's been on a mission, and never one this so far out of his ... depth.

Mine looks great, thanks for running!

I enjoyed the game a lot as well, and normally I wouldn't mind the length, but it's the holidays here so it's end of year rush for work, and of course there's tons of family stuff. And in the past, I've done exactly what I said - gone back and re-read the whole game from the beginning and post my notes - but ... just not right now.

Profession (scribe): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

GM, can I request that you be more proactive about pushing us along?

Frankly, we're heading into a busy time of year for many, and it's already been long enough that I couldn't even remember Mazzer Thrent's name without looking it up.

I have no idea who S.E. is. If it's important that we know, encourage us with a hint or something. If it's not important, then push us along, as you can tell from the past few mysteries, there's not likely going to be a lot of back and forth in a PbP game.

---

Fellow players, let's get this wrapped up. If anyone wants to make a list of what we want to take, that'd be great. All I can remember is the orb and the chest. Everything else is noe 3 months old in my mind and if I have to read through an entire 450 post thread, it's definitely going to end up being another two weeks (holidays are busy f9r me).

Bocke does not have Disable Device, and when we were discussing the locked door, I didn't get the impression that anyone else did either. We should search the chest for traps but if we find one we may consider taking the chest back unopened or just deliberately setting off the trap.

"Welcome back, Mika."

Is there anything else anyone wants to do? Otherwise, we should grab the Orb and anything else we can carry from the tomb, and get out of here, right?

If we're out of combat, Bocke will rush up with a wand of cure light wounds and revive Mika.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 <-- positive HP
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 <-- full HP

He'll offer it to Dimak as well.

"Let's search this place and get out of here, it gives me the creeps."

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Watching Mika stabilize, Bocke steps up and focuses on the final enemy.

Longbow, RS, haste, CS, PBS: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 - 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 23
Damage, PBS, Judgement: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 13 plus Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

Longbow, RS, haste, CS, PBS: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 9 - 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 16
Damage, PBS, Judgement: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 10 plus Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

Longbow, hasted, haste, CS, PBS: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 9 - 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 28
Damage, PBS, Judgement: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 12 plus Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6

GM: my tagline shows that this is Bocke's last round of bane. It's possible I forgot to reset it when we rested; it's also possible that I've forgotten how many rounds of combat we had. (Did I really use 5 rounds on the mound?) I will go back through Gameplay and do an audit to see which is the case, but not today.

Bocke steps up. I am unsure whether I am allowed to 5' step around a hard corner. If not, Bocke will be one square to the west of his current position and he won't get PBS on white.

Mika, Bocke only has a wand of cure light wounds (he doesn't prepare it, and he doesn't have stabilize. I'm very aware of the time you have remaining but want to see if we can end it in that time. I'm the last to post so I just don't want you to think none of us noticed you.

He makes a swift prayer to Nethys. Judgement of Destruction

Primary: Green, Secondary: White (definitely without CS, potentially without PBS).

Sorry, Dimak, I think I'm using up all the nat 20s. Unfortunately it's all been on the minions.

Confirm?: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 - 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 20

Narratively, it would be "he decides he will eat the unconscious PC later, after he's killed the others."

Mika was unconscious after the 5th attack (-9 of 37 with a CON of 13).

Was it necessary / is it normal to attack an unconscious, prone PC?

My tertiary target is Green. 15 to hit with haste, and PBS still applies, thanks Dimak.

Bocke takes a step back and enacts bane (undead). Primary target red, secondary blue

Longbow, PBS, RS: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 1 - 2 = 28
Damage, PBS: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8 plus Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7

Confirm 2: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 - 2 = 24

"We're also offering to let you live," Bocke offers, considerably less charitably than before. "The sphere means nothing to you, and nobody on the outside cares who we kill to survive. So we both leave with nothing.

The alternatives are thus: we murder you and tear this place apart stone by stone to find where you've hidden all the treasure, or we take a marginally satisfactory consolation prize for our patron, and walk away."

1d20 ⇒ 1
Diplomacy +4 (per request)
Intimidation +6 (thematically more appropriate)

I guess it won't matter much with that roll, lol.

Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

"We were hired by a patron who found a diary from a pirate named Mazzer Thrennt. In the diary, Thrennt described untold riches inside this tomb, and we were hired to secure it for our patron.

We have no quarrel with you, and if the treasure is yours, we will cede any claims and cease our recovery efforts. But we did find some kind of sphere in a side tunnel - with your permission, we'd like to take the sphere to our patron, as a sign that we did in fact reach this vault and did not abscond with her treasure. I believe she has a library that would benefit from it as a grand centerpiece."

Bocke will follow others in.

Evil?

Bocke will try to detect evil through the doorway.

Yes, I think going down the staircase is extraneous, but clearing out this level is within the bounds of our mission.

"We should open up the door to the southwest of the mound, to make sure there's nothing else there."
