Cuethric's page

Yep, it was a good time. I did not particularly care for the super swarms, but it made for unusual excitement. Thanks to everyone for the game and especially our GM. I look forward to opportunities to play again with you all in the future.

It was also good to find out the history behind the dislike of Torch. He always just seemed grumpy. But I guess sinister will be the impression from now on.

Take care all. It was an enjoyable scenario.

Oops! I thought that Cuethric was neutralized by it. In that case, he will come out of delay and shoot at purple.
"Wait, I can see! What is this glorious magic?

Cuethric raises, aims and fires 3 arrows in quick fashion at the purple guard.

rapid arrow 1 with haste bonus: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
dmg p arrow 1: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
rapid arrow 2 with haste: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
dmg p arrow2: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
haste arrow: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
dmg haste arrow: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

i did not add any inspire bonuses. If they apply please add them. I notoriously forget extra bonuses like that. But I keep trying.

Cuethric can't see anyone to attack. Purple is concealed from him. "Could we loose the fog, please? I can't see to shoot." "I think it is helping the guards more than helping us."
Cuethric listens for any sign of the Purple clad guard.
cuethric delays

Cuethric glances at Malaz, he starts to say something back, but thinks better of it. The axe cleaver looks like it would really hurt and Cuethric does want to find out for sure.
"Whatever you say big guy. No more arrows your way."

Cuethric uses his rapid shot to fire two arrows at the blue guard.
arrow w pb precise rapid: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
dmg p arrow 1: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
arrow 2 w pb precise rapid: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
dmg p arrow 2: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

He then fires his haste arrow.
arrow haste: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
dmg P haste arrow: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

crit confirm: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
additional crit dmg: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (8, 6) + 4 = 18

If blue goes down he will shift to red.
"You are a traitor."

Man, I really am having mixed feelings here. I would like to finish but I don't think I will find any game to replace this one.

I never really knew why other pathfinders who had played a while did not like Grandmaster Torch. I only started playing in season five and I never had high level guys until just recently. Now I am starting to get why they didn't like him.

Anyway, killing his men will be interesting and different, they usually just intimidate my character's party. Will I still owe him a favor?

No weapon out so no AO

Cuethric shifts behind and away from green and fires two arrows at him.
arrow 1: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
arrow 2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
dmg p: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

"Dirty backstabber!"

"Are you all getting out of here or what? I know that is 'angel talk', but I don't speak that. I'm thinking we should run."
Cuethric looks like a rabbit bunched to bolt.
Anyone know why we should stay and fight? Killing a former pathfinder VC can't be good for your pathfinder carreer.

Cuethric Sees Torch murder the prisoner. "What is the world... No!"
Two shots at Torch then with the same 5' shift.
arrow 1: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
damage P: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
arrow 2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
damage P: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

"Treachery! We risked life and limb to get her here."

Cuethric, confused but angry, decides the only variable that has changed is Ouidda. "I don't know what you have done or how, but you tricked us. You shall pay for this treachery."

He steps over to shoot over the foo dog at Quidda. He fires two rapid arrows.
shot 1: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 12 - 2 = 21 normal plus, pb, rapid penalty, Cver not included
dmg: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10 str, magic bow, pb
shot 2: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 12 - 2 = 17
dmg: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9

"I don't know how you did it but you have charmed Grandmaster Torch"

What in the world just happened? If Cuethric gets up, he is going to put two arrows right into Ouidda's back. Did Torch just signal his men to attack a group of pathfinders? To heck with the prestige points. Torch gets charmed? And we get punished for doing what we were asked to do.

"This is insane." "Why are you doing this?"

"So is that all we needed to do here? Are we dismissed? I need a hot bath and some sleep." "It was a rough one."
Cuethric looking bored and leaning on his bow seems to be looking forward to a rest.
Is that it? Mission complete?

Cuethric Walks be hind Malaz watching his back. "Okay, this plan works too. We are behind you, big guy."
As they get upstairs, Cuethric just reinforces Malaz's intimidate. "Just let him be. You don't want to draw his ire."
intimidate aid: 1d20 ⇒ 8
Not that he needs it

Cuethric after applying the gag does a quick search of the room. he takes away all from Ouidda but her armor and distributes the items to the party. "Here hold this. You, hold this and someone take this...

"Ijo, keep an eye on her. Everyone, search the room quickly before we head out." "Remmy, once we are done, do your magic, but nothing fancy a struggle and a stabbed body that looks like her. I what to leave in 1 minute." "Lets move!"

search percept: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Any good disguise ideas or ploys to get us out of here unnoticed. I have a potion of invisibility that could help. Let's hear ideas. Mine is give the potion to the lady, knock her unconscious, and Have Malaz carry her out as we just walk out.

We could take her back and put her in one of the barrels that the cheaters were standing on and say we are taking out the trash, through the kitchen to exit. Costumes to look like employees.

Most of my gameday sessions are very slowly picking up. Are we close to the end of this scenario?

I suppose we have to get out somehow. The costume room and some magic and maybe we tie her up and take her out as a drunk sailor or something. The other body could be used as a distraction. Or we just roll her up in one of those rugs and carry her out thru the kitchen.

What are the chances one of the other hallways leads to an exit? We could always ask her which one. Oh after removing the gag briefly of course.

"Doppelganger body? Well heck. Never heard of such a thing." Can we do something with it to help us get away from this place? Do we need to fake the spider's death? Won't those here just know it is the basement body?
"I am just going to ty your hands and gag you. We are just taking you to people who want to debrief you. They don't necessarily want to harm you. Now, no sudden moves or my golden friend will cleave you in two."
Cuethric approachs and ties her hands behind her with rope. And then gags her with cloth. He pads her down for weapons and removes all he finds.
cmb to ty up: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
search for weapons: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

"First of all, we don't accept surrenders from invisible people, so drop that. My golden friend can see you anyway." " Next start talking, why is there a dead girl in the costume room?" "Drop it or blows continue."

not exactly sure what fiery gaze does but if it allow Cuethric to view Malaz pound the invisible someone. Cuethric will fire two arrows into the area of the impact. Please penalize for cover or such.
arrow with flag one: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 1 = 21
miss less than 50: 1d100 ⇒ 52
haste arrow with flag: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 12 + 1 = 29
miss less than 50: 1d100 ⇒ 10
damge one: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
damage haste: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
hope this makes since. Else cuethric just gets inthe room and backs up to the closes wall.

I'm good. Thanks for asking. Just waiting patiently for my turn.

Cuethric is okay with door smashing. He drinks his potion of protection from evil. "Smash away, big guy."

Is there anything unusual about the double doors, any carvings or pictures, script or such?
Cuethric continues to step around the carpet careful not to touch it.
This reminds me of my AD&D days and the trappers that would close up around you as you walked through a room.
He peeks around the corner of the hallways before moving accross their openings. Still sneaking. Cuethric will make his way to the double doors. He looks to see if they are trapped. Then he will check if they are locked.
perception traps on doors and door area: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Cuethric sneaks and perceives. "A spider like room ... to the head is where we should head.", in a just audible voice volume.
Looking at the stairs, percept traps: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
If he can't see anything bad, he will walk around avoiding the carpets to the right, sneaking. stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Cuethric will let others know about the latch and make sure everyone os ready to have it opened.
"It is time to continue."
Opening the latch when all are in the room and ready.

Cuethric, being the curious type, sneaks up to the the corner to the next room and peaks around as inconspicuously as possible.
stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Hey, folks, are we all back in the spider room? If you are please move yourself in. Cuethric is going to continue to search rooms for our kidnap target. I may be missing the bubble and there is another plan a foot.

"Thank you, Ijo. I will do my best to make it up to you."
Cuethric heads back to the partically open door. He asks Zranashta to detect magic on the door and examines it. perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26 looking for traps and secret doors on the walls of the room where the smarm mess happend careful not to touch the partically open door or the spider carving. "The spider is hiding somewhere. But where?"

I am an archer, so dex is my primary atk stat, but I am only down 4 so I can probably manage too. Kind of like being sickened.

Sorry, I don't have a scroll. I will add one after this scenario if Cuethric makes it out alive. Maybe 5 on one scroll. Because when you need one you probably need 2 or 3 or 5. Anyway, man I am sorry for setting that trap off. I think for the time being we will have to carry you. Hopefully we find something useful to use on you.

Cuethric while propping up Ijo, pulls his cure wand and taps himself several times then taps Ijo several times.

heal Cuethric with wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
heal cuethric: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
heal cuethric: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
heal cuethric: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
heal Ijo: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
heal Ijo: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
heal Ijo: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Cuethric apologizes for setting off that trap. "Guys I am sorry. That was a stupid mistake."
He walks over a d starts to lift Ijo. "I help carry Ijo. Now let's find this lady and get out of here." "Ijo the restoration is on me when we get out of here."

Cuethric takes the alchemist fire he got out of Remmy's bag and throws it somewhat stiffly at the remaining spider swarm.
closest square of spiders for b-b-q: 1d20 + 10 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 - 2 - 2 = 25
damage fire: 1d6 ⇒ 5
With penalty for range and dex damage included above
fort save vs poison: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
"Die buggies, burn!"

Cuethric will reach into Remmy's bag hoping for the best. He will grab anything that feels like an alchemist fire. Then he moves to get beside Malaz.

poison save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Through gritted teeth and looking green he says, "I hate swarms"

Remmy, I think you can go now.
"Remmy, you are the best! Let me get some fire and acid."

Cuethric pulls oil from his haver sack and throws the flask at the burning spot Remmy created moments ago. Assuming he threw at swarm below the skeleton.
oil throw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
successfully ignites below 50%: 1d100 ⇒ 68
dmg 1d6: 1d6 ⇒ 3
"Keep those flames roaring." "Burn, baby, burn."

Cuethric has 40' of movement in one movement, but 80' with a double move. His motivation was to get out of the swarms. Stopping after 35' in between the swarm families is not a great position to be in. If I had known the extent of the difficult terrain, I would have double moved him to get to where he was in front of Remmy and not pulled out the oil with his second move action. I will understand if it is too late to recon.

Through gritted teeth and looking pale, Cuethric looks at his swarmed neighbor, "Got more of that acid or any other alchemical goodies. We are in a tough spot here."

Cuethric still under the effects of his longstrider spell moves 40' out and around the corner to just in front of Remmy. He then retrieves an flask of oil from is haver sack.
"I did not bring my bug killing kit." "Anyone got acid or alchemist fire?"

I really am not sure where the webs are but Cuethric hugs the wall all the way out of the swarm area and moves one square diagonal at the end for 40' as a move. Then uses a second move action to get the oil.

Cuethric shifts back, reaches into his haver sack and retrieves a alchemist fire.
He then throws it at the red approaching swarm of spiders.
alchemist throw at red's farthest corner: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
dmg fire: 1d6 ⇒ 4 yellow should take 1 hp splash damage but I can't remember the DC reflex save.
"Well, that was that. Now it's down to running."

What does the 'web' do that Cuethric avoided enough to move. Is he entangled? I just want to know my limitations.

Cuethric gets impatient and starts looking for a way to open the secret door and possibly trying to peek into the room beyond.

Once he can figure out the mechanics, he starts counting down silently with his figures as 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1. He then opens door with the bow in his hand.

Cuethric glides over to Malaz, "Anything?", he whispers pointing at the 'not hidden' hidden door.

Cuethric pulls out an arrow and readies for anything once the door is opened.

Cuethric signals back waving the group forward and puts his index finger to his lips for 'quietly'. He mouths the words 'secret door'.

Once he gets some head nods from the group, he sneaks forward again looking for traps heading for the slightly ajar secret door.

stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Cuethric will sneak and perceive looking for traps and hidden doors as he slowly moves into the hallway.

sneak: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

"Remmy, please interupt away when it comes to unlocking doors. I think you are the only one with that special talent."

I am hoping Remmy unlocked the door. Else we are in for a rough time. If you try more then once on a door you get the worst of the enemy on the other side for the start of the encounter. The enemy is buffed and you can't even get through the door

No worries here. Congrats on the new place. Take all the time you need.

Cuethric pauses in his frantic searching freezing in place jaw dropping.
"Oh, okay. That works too."
He straightens up a peeks over his shoulder through the door way into the beyond.

"I'm definitely learning to pick locks after this."

Cuethric examines the wall, fireplace, and other door for anything helpful.

perception: 120 + 11 = 131

perception correctly typed: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Is the other diagonal door also locked?

Cuethric will stuff the dust(s), ink, and thieves tools into his haver sack. He then moves to checkout the door Zranashta wants looked at.
perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
"Let's take a look."

Is the door Cuethric is near locked? or trapped with the roll above?

Cuethric searches for for any secret doors.
perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
If he doesn't find any, he will suggest they check the room across the way.
"Time is ticking."

"Remmy, are you any good with locks? We need to hurry. The longer we take the harder it will be to get out."

Cuethric will step back and allow anyone to try the lock. "Malaz, are you still beefed up? Could you smash this door?" Else we probably should head out one of the doors in the metal man room."

Cuethric glides back down the hall nimbly stepping past the scrap metal heaps. He pauses to cautiously examine the door and area around it.
perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
He then tries to determine if the door is locked or braced.

He waits patiently as the others catch up.

"Well that was interesting. These metal men are hard at steel. I wonder if we can salvage the sky mwtal from them?" "But let's find 'what's her name' first, With magic she could be 3 planes from Sunday. The metal men were heading for the side door to the North, do we hope the were reporting to there boss?"
Cuethric gathers his things and prepares to head North and back to the side door.
