large duergar's AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Before getting killed by Glorin, Black swings his hammer at charging warrior but misses. Dorn cuts down Yellow.

Therin, Kaleena and Damiel to go!

While Kaleena shoots and wounds a large beetle, Purple succumbs to his burns. The beetle crawls closer and spews acidic goo on Kaleena, Therin and Glorin.

Glorin and Dorn next

Green: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
purple: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
yellow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Light blue: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Black: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
Red beetle: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Two duergars and a beetle are gone leaving behind charred corpses. Black takes critical burns.

Kaleena and Damiel to go

Glorin splatters the cyan and Dorn waraxe slashes the large beetle instead.

Black and purple use their magic to grow larger and move forward. Yellow also comes closer, though more timidly.

Therin next

Light blue hesitates to approach closer, but not cyan who is hit by musket fire. Beetles advance and red exhales acidic bile on Therin.

acid breath Reflex DC 14 half: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6
Rounds to next breath weapon use: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Glorin and Dorn next

Green duergar starts walking toward the sudden light but doesn't want to venture too far from his comrades. Two other wait to see what happens.

Kaleena and Damiel up!

Slide 7, tokens are already there.

You decide to rush in. Therin first.

Where are we in relation to the map?

In lower right corner.

Map on slide 7. Captives are somewhere near B1 and B2 is completely redundant. Red circles on left side are pack animals.
Conversing casually they don't notice Damiel yet. Around three dozen dwarven slaves are chained behind their captors.

A half-mile beyond Firebrand’s Redoubt, down yet another winding side tunnel, the Ashen Company has established a small camp, where the remainder of the forces await their commander’s return and guard more of Sarxa’s captives. Three dozen dwarven slaves are chained together around a massive stone column.

The duergar are using large beetles to transport their slaves and cargo. Approaching the camp requires some guile or stealth, and their slightly elevated position in a large cavern affords the caravan guards an excellent view of the area.

You may roll stealth if you like, I'll get a map up soon.

After sound of combat died down cries of help from room left to the staircase resume. One of keys in Sarxa's key ring fits and about dozen dwarven captives are grateful to be released. One of them glances at the map you found at Sarxa's room and claims the caravan on map located outside Firebrand’s Redoubt is very likely transporting more dwarven prisoners.

Damiel finds some loot from her: potions of cure moderate wounds (2), potions of hide from undead (2), +1 chain shirt, +1 light crossbow, quick
runner’s shirt, disguise kit, masterwork thieves tools, key ring and 90 gold pieces

Linguistic is trained only.
Comprehend language spell enables Therin to read the book in dwarven, it does not give any insight to contents.

Chronicles in this folder

Thanks again for playing!

Due to unexpected technical difficulty I have to do the chronicles by hand. Will post link to folder when done.

If you have day jobs those haven't been done yet.

Just want to point out that 18 out of d20 is high for a hit for miss chance. Did 14 vs touch AC missed?

That was my error. Usually I use d100 as miss roll and didn't notice it was d20.

Sarxa is killed by fire bomb. Beside the bed lies a rough, handdrawn map of the surrounding tunnels, labeled with the redoubt and Davarn, as well as the duergar caravan

Several of Lady Delbera’s personal journals are scattered around the room where Sarxa had been researching them. Reading them reveals a very unsure and insecure young acolyte studying at the feet of Father Grandich. She left home to meet the calling of her god even as commitments to her family, friends, and community demanded she stay. She feared that her choice to leave made her an exile, and that those she loved would never accept her back, and so she threw herself into loving and caring for the Rising Blades. Delbera reached out to protect and encourage her companions and those they encountered in their travels, and they in time grew fiercely protective of her as well.

Her accounts take care to describe their adventures below the mountains of northern Andoran and the Five Kings Mountains, when the Rising Blades fought a surge of undead crawling forth from the caves. Her fear becomes palpable in the journal as she describes the caverns—not dissimilar to her childhood home—as oppressive and evil. Her accounts focus on supporting and healing her teammates, and later doing what she can for the tiny gnome settlement they discovered hidden near Karexin’s Tower.

Journals dated much later, written in a steadier and aged hand, describe her return home and the fanfare that followed, as well as the fact that she oversaw the excavation of the redoubt as paranoia steadily gnawed at
the back of her mind, warning of dangers from deeper tunnels that might threaten those she loved. In time, likeminded defenders flocked to her banner. The final two entries are presented in Handout #2 on Slide 7. DC 15 Linguistics check helps you research her notes..

Therin's spirit sword hits target while Damiel doesn't. Dorn's AoO misses by hair width.

Glorin to act

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Even though Seltyiel, with help of Jens, manages to scare the troglodytes a bit they kill a few dwarves before rest of group retreats safely. You bring the surviving dwarves to Janderhoff. There the dwarves rest, resupply, re-arm, and make their way home to Jormurdun via surface routes. You report to Sandricaan and the wizard is relieved to see you return from the journey, and asks for a report on your experiences. He takes meticulous notes as you talk. Finally, he presents you with gifts from the families of the dwarves you saved. These gifts are attached to a note that reads “May Torag’s shield protect you always.”

Sir Jorsal of Lauterbury sends you a letter thanking for your bravery and quick action in rescuing the captives. Your efforts proved that the dwarves of Jormurdun and Janderhoff can still count members of the Pathfinder Society as trusted allies.

Dornarnus thanks you for your efforts and promises to atone for the deeds he committed under Thulmaga’s vile influence. He even suggests that once he has fully atoned he may join the Liberty’s Edge faction to fight for freedom throughout the Inner Sea. Major Colson Maldris writes
to members of the Liberty’s Edge faction to congratulate, stating that Dornarnus will certainly prove to be a valuable ally.

Primary success You defeated the duergar raiding party and brought survivors back to Janderhoff. This earns the PCs 1 Prestige Point and the Darklands Delver boon on Chronicle Sheets.

Secondary success You had two or fewer incidents resulting in dwarven casualties. This earns the PCs 1 additional Prestige Point.

Liberty’s Edge faction members earn Blessing of the Atoned boon on their Chronicle sheets. (Dornarnus survived)

Thanks for playing! For a player boon, roll 1d20 in discussion (1 or 20 wins the boon)

I understood its supposed to be different people so one character can't single-handedly do everything

One of dwarves drowns while crossing the lake, but majority survive. Suddenly you're ambushed by troglodytes. This is final challenge Overpower them with a combat maneuver, or evade them with Acrobatics, Climb, Ride, or Stealth.

Three successes is enough, DC rises to 24. You may freely choose either Acrobatics, Climb, Swim, or Survival.

You have found a possible route. Next task is to navigate a subterranean pool with [ooc]Acrobatics, Climb, Swim, or Survival[ooc].

Two more successes needed (Perception Kn. dungeoneering, geography, survival). Gameday ends on monday.

She stays on her feet.

Everyone can act. Remember she has 20 % miss chance

blur: 1d100 ⇒ 4
blur: 1d100 ⇒ 82
blur: 1d100 ⇒ 81

Kaleena's bullet misses despite good aim as her opponents outline is blurred, but Damiel's bomb and Glorin wound her. Sarxa tries to run past Therin out of room.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 Glorin receives AoO
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 Dorn gets AoO
Acrobatics vs. Therin's CMD+5: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Like Dolamite said, skill matching your strategy.

* outmaneuvering the duergar in the winding tunnels (Find the way with Knowledge (dungeoneering or geography), Perception, or Survival.)
* inspiring the dwarves to pick up the pace (Recall the proper way to address the dwarves with Knowledge (history or local) or Sense Motive.) or
* outrun the duergar or creating a natural blockade (Find the proper spot with Disable Device, Knowledge (dungeoneering or engineering), or Perception.)

Kaleena shoots the skeleton putting it back to rest. Dorn and Glorin confront Sarxa in bedroom, but their attacks miss. Therin's spiritual weapon wounds her.

Sarxa steps back and shoots closest target threatening her. She also grabs a bolt from pocket.
+1 crossbow vs. Glorin, point-blank: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
crit confirm: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
crit damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Everyone can act

Axe hits and damages blue, which sloppily swings back.

dwarven urgrosh: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Sarxa fires a bolt at Therin, but her aim ain't much better. She reloads her weapon.
+1 light crossbow, point-blank: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Everyone is up

Yes, you definitively can make your own plan. Impersonation is a great idea.

As you have to coordinate your choices as a group, all three must use the same skill category. In this case I allow take 10.

To get past duergar party, first a plan is needed. Examples of possible plans and their preparations are either (DCs are all 22 and at least three characters must succeed):
* outmaneuvering the duergar in the winding tunnels (Find the way with Knowledge (dungeoneering or geography), Perception, or Survival.)
* inspiring the dwarves to pick up the pace (Recall the proper way to address the dwarves with Knowledge (history or local) or Sense Motive.) or
* outrun the duergar or creating a natural blockade (Find the proper spot with Disable Device, Knowledge (dungeoneering or engineering), or Perception.).

Therin's spell hits Sarxa and Damiel hits skeleton by alchemist's fire.

Glorin next?

Kaleena blasts red to pieces.

Therin, you don't have line of sight to Sarxa from your current position. Do you want to step 5 ft to southeast?

Reflex save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
CL vs SR: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Jens managed to take her out. The freed captives profusely express their gratitude to the Pathfinders. Amazing Vanzetti realizes that staff has no value to the Pathfinders, and should be destroyed or returned to the Society.

The liberated dwarves trudge through the tunnels, eager to be returning home but exhausted after weeks of travel. Most of the return journey is uneventful. However, with only a few dozen miles left between the dwarves and Janderhoff, a scout reports that a duergar raiding party followed the group from Fellstrok. The raiding party is far too large to fight, and there are many dwarven stragglers who will certainly die unless someone takes quick and decisive action.

Choose a strategy whether you let Dornarnus sacrifice himself, let stragglers die or try to save everyone.

Forum is now back. Botting Glorin:

Glorin swings his axe at red, but misses.

Axe Attack, Bless: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 1 = 16
damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Blue skeleton also misses while attacking Dorn. Sarxa and red focus on him as well, but they too miss.

dwarven urgrosh: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
+1 light crossbow, pint-blank: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 1 - 4 = 17
dwarven urgrosh: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Everyone can act

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17

After the spell priest is unable to do anything. Dornarnus uses opportunity and attacks her from behind, but can't accurately pinpoint the foe.

+1 warhammer, flank: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 2 = 25
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 22

Everyone may act, remember miss chance

Dorn and Damiel damage the Red quite badly, while Glorin receives healing.

Glorin to act

Sorry this went unnoticed too long. But found this thread about targeting invisible creatures and answer is clear. You'd have to see the target.

Per RAW, Aiming a Spell:

Target or Targets: Some spells have a target or targets. You cast these spells on creatures or objects, as defined by the spell itself. You must be able to see or touch the target, and you must specifically choose that target. You do not have to select your target until you finish casting the spell.

Per RAW the Dispel Magic spell: You choose to use dispel magic in one of two ways: a targeted dispel or a counterspell. Targeted Dispel: One object, creature, or spell is the target of the dispel magic spell...

Red skeleton hits Glorin extremely hard with its urgrosh. The weird creature drinks a potion she had in her hand. Her form becomes blurry and she retreats back to her room.

urgrosh vs. Glorin: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
crit confirm: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
crit damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (6, 5) + 8 = 19

Time to give back, everyone can act before blue

Either bard 7 or gunsling 6/oracle 2. Bard will finish previous game soon and gunslinger receveis GM chronicle around same time.

Dolamite hits once. Jens feels the duergar is somehow able to resist spells cast on him. Jens do you have anything that ignores spell resistance?

Caster level: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

The noise is coming from west and north rooms.

Damiel thinks she is a fey, but doesn't know anything else. "Look, she wants Delbera’s corpse for her necromantic experiments. I could cut ya part of loot found here if ya agree to let me keep the corpse and not meddle in my affairs." as she speaks two skeletal warriors approach from east room. Either roll new diplomacy check to negotiate on loot and captives or we go initiative

Yeah, CL 11 Harm spell.
Dolamite hits the unseen foe hard.

Fort save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Jens spots the duergar. Indeed thats the gray dot there Dornarnus walks down the stairs and the duergar casts a spell on him, but nothing happens to him.

will save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Everyone can act

Nature to identify, what would you like to know?

"Name's Sarxa and ...uhh.. I'm here because my master Zohir plans to use Firebrand, a dwarven artifact, to slay members of a clan and raise them as zombies, wait... maybe I shouldn't have revealed everything. Damn why do I trust strangers so easily?" as she talks you hear banging of door and cries of help coming from room behind you

Did you catch that it was a Dazing firework? Did she make the save?

I did read how it works. Even though save failed, due to fire resistance, she didn't take any damage and feat description says "When a creature takes damage from this spell" so I thought it wouldn't affect her. If there's still issues with it, write on discussion before making the will save.

Shortly after the explosion, the invisible enemy strikes AV with a spell. She remains invisible.

Touch attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
negative energy: 11d10 ⇒ (5, 7, 6, 1, 3, 7, 7, 5, 5, 7, 8) = 61 Will save DC 21 for half damage, you can't go below 1 hit point

Everyone is up

Orange duergar uses his magical ability to grow in size.

If it's something like a Enlarge Person spell or SLA, it has a 1 round casting time like summoning.

While the spell, Enlarge person, has 1 round casting time SLAs have 1 standard action "unless noted otherwise in the ability or spell description". Anyway combat is over

When Glorin kills duergar, a human-sized creature with horns and hooves New image on slide 5 opens door and looks at the carnage. "Who might you be? Did you come from Davarn? If you have hostile intentions, I still have my skeleton nodyguards." she threatens

Happy to make a save if you like, but if the enemy targeted me directly with the bomb, I don't get a save vs the damage.

Ok, my bad. Alchemist ain't very familiar class to me, I suppose

Orange duergar uses his magical ability to grow in size.

Everyone is up.

You don't hear any sounds from direction of invisible foe so its impossible to say how much damage fireball caused. Dolamite slays the purple foe and his mount. AV and Seltyiel can act

DC16 Reflex save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16
Damiel's bomb burns the light blue before Kaleena kills him. Dorn mauls to death purple, who was hit by splash from bomb.

Dorn: you get Reflex save DC 13 for half damage, Glorin still to act.

Dolamite hears footsteps coming from north and you estimate approximate location of the invisible enemy being the gray dot northeast of AV.

The image of red fumbles across gravel. Dornarnus says that the witch tried to cast a domination spell on him.

Dornarnus will save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Dolamite, AV and Jens next
