Sevin Marrow's page

Just remember that it's considered good PFS etiquette to provide for your own out-of-combat healing in a scenario (say, with a wand of CLW), and it'll take a while day jobs to stack up to 750.

Good point, I hadn't read the way you use PP clearly. I'll use the 2 PP to buy a Wand of CLW.

Thanks GM Zahmahkibo! You ran a fantastic scenario!
And thanks to you guys, you were brilliant as party members :)
Brilliant songs Fissa! Very entertaining :) As a complete side-note: I noticed De Raggende Manne in your music score, are you a Dutchy as well by any chance? :P

The PFS number for Sevin Marrow is # 109978-2
I don't have any Day Job skills until I purchase a Hunting Lodge Vanity (which I intend to do with the prestige points from this scenario). I don't think I can make Day Job checks untrained and the phase for purchasing stuff comes after the Day Job check IIRC. So no check for me :(
None of us have significant status effects that last beyond the scenario, right?

Sevin repeats his attempt to destroy the idol

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Ah, I was striking with the sacrificial kukri if that wasn't clear.

If Sevin can still do so, he takes a 5 ft step to flank with the eagle.

crappity crappity crap. 2 more shots and i'll be dead!

Sevin strikes the idol

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Since we're still in rounds I wanna say that I'm keeping back this turn so I can stay out of a possible blast range and move towards it and strike it in one go next turn. But since this would be gross metagaming and my character probably wouldn't think in turns like that (at least when 'fighting' a seemingly inanimate idol), I'll move as far as needed to get within striking distance.

Sevin moves to get within striking distance of the idol.

Sevin moves to take the knife from Fissa and swiftly advances upon the idol, attempting to strike it.

Depending whether or not Fissa makes his second climbing check, I'll make climbing checks to move up and move down again after getting the knife. I've got a prehensile tail, so I won't have to let go of my handholds to take the knife while climbing.

Is the idol on the ground or floating above it?

I am not sure if and how I can attack the grumpy gorilla.
If I can do so, I'll take a 5 ft step NW to flank with Fissa.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 10 (1 bless, 1 courage, 2 flank, substract if necessary)
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12 (1 courage)

Did I miss something? What's the small thingy at the middle of the northern wall?

Ah, nevermind, I hadn't looked at the combat map. I assumed I was still 10 ft away from the angry ape. Negate that 5 ft step, I hold my position.

Sevin drops the spear, draws his longsword, takes a 5 ft step and attacks the simian foe

attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Sevin forgoes his caution in an attempt to draw the ire of the ape.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 (6= 1 BAB, 3 Str, 1 Bless, 1 Courage)
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

@Alia: IIRC we have to 'buy' the loot after the adventure so unless you'd want to buy the scroll, you shouldn't be afraid to spend it (although I'm not sure if spending it will decrease our rewards).

Don't forget you've got the Glitterdust spell-like ability from Aasimar. One round of blindness: 50% miss chance, -2 AC, no Dex to AC!

Sevin takes a 5 ft step SE and strikes at the giant ape in the same way as last turn.

Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13 (fighting defensively)
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

@All: OK, there's a choice to make guys

Basically I can tank by fighting defensively but I won't hit him (only +1 bonus to hit). In that case, the damage has to come from you guys. If you can't manage that, I'll have to lower my AC and take more hits but I won't take the -4 penalty to hit.

@Alia: also a choice we have to make. If I continue to tank him, we could set up a flank although I couldn't get healing from you if I get hit badly.
If you wanna set up a flank, you could do so without provoking AoOs by taking a 5 ft step NE twice over two turns while making attacks, or once if I take a 5 ft step up the ziggurat if possible. Problem is that I can't get healed then :/
Alternatively, you could forgo melee attacks and shoot from near the ziggurat. You'll actually deal more damage (same to hit but 1d8 damage instead of 1d6 from your mace) and since I'm the only one in melee and I've got reach, nobody else would take penalties on ranged attacks. The whole party might also fit within your channel bursts
Side note: how many channels have you got left?

We could also all move up the ziggurat to enjoy higher ground (+1 bonus on melee attack rolls).

Thoughts?

Da'Tunga's to hit is not that high (+3), he only hits me on a 19 or 20 now. If I can continue to tank him, it should be fine

Ooof!
Sevin grunts loudly and is visibly shaken by the blow.
HP at 9, two good hits is apparently enough to take me down

Sevin attacks defensively with his longspear.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Note, my AC is now 22: 18 +2 (Shield of Faith) +2 (fighting defensively)

OK, now the combat map is a LOT more menacing. I'll stay by my actions

I can still make AoOs if Da'Tunga moves towards Alia, right?
If so, I'll make the 5 ft step east and subsequently will ready my spear against a charge. In this way I'll get to make at least one attack against Da'Tunga when he's moving through my reach and possibly a second one with double damage if he tries to charge me.
If not, I'll take the 5ft step NE and attack

Thanks for the buffs!
Sevin takes a 5 ft step east and strikes at Da'Tunga with his long spear

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Sevin opens the door.

Again, remember my AoOs ;)

Sounds good
Sevin starts making his way to the last room

Caern, could you have a quick look-see at the pile of boxes with your magic-detecting eyes?

Shouldn't we get the keys from the dead guy first?

Sevin tries to use his spear to get the keyring without getting close to the filth in the waste pits.

Not sure what to roll. Sleight of Hand? I'll take 20 in any case

While Fissa is adressing the forlorn man, Sevin takes a look around the room.

Take 20 Perception + 5 = 25

Sevin takes another swing

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Confirm crit

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Sevin drops his spear, draws his sword and swings at the slithering serpent.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Just posting to remind you of my reach AoO :P

Sevin mutters under his breath
Good point, I've gotta get myself a shield to avoid apecrap artillery and such

We could do so but I'd prefer to take care of whatever is in there so that it can't stab us in the back if we run into trouble in the storage room.
Not to mention that Venture-Captain Adril Hestram's description of Nigel did not make it sound like the man was fully sound of mind. It might be him in there

Sevin sheathes his sword, recovers his chakrams, re-equips his longspear and moves towards the door to the lavatory.
He puts his hand on the door and readies his longspear to attack any foe that moves in to attack after he would open the door (he does not open the door yet).

Ready for the next round?

Can I open the door and immediately have an action readied?

Heheheheheh, gonna treasure that sense of accomplishment forever :P

Sevin takes a good hard look around the room for any other surprises or interesting stuff, this includes listening at the doors to the stock room and the lavatory.

Perception take 20 + 5 = 25

Sevin takes a 5 ft step east and continues his assault on the airborne attacker.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

....but misses horribly

Alia, you could still hit it :)

Stabbity-stabbity-stab!

Sevin drops his longspear, draws his longsword, takes a 5 ft step southwest, resulting in a flank with Fissa, and attacks.

attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Sevin takes a 5 foot step southwest and attempts to strike with his 10ft longspear.
Attack with spear: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Damage with spear: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

If that is not possible due to the distance (I've got some trouble visualizing this scenario with reach), he'll draw and throw another chakram and puts his hand back on his longspear afterwards

Zahmahkibo, you forgot the AoO for moving through my 10 ft reach :)

If the AoO kills yellow, I'll move south 1 or 2 squares to attack red with my 10 ft reach. If not, I'll attack yellow again, possibly moving one square north if that is needed since I can't attack adjacent enemies

Regular attack against red/yellow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Ah, I just realized I forgot to add the bonuses on damage and hit from my favorite enemy. So that'd been 10 instead of 8 damage

Sevin draws one of his chakrams with one hand and hurls it at the demon-head-things. After throwing, he puts the hand back on his longspear.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Sevin readies a (braced) attack for the first enemy to come within reach.

Fissa, please step back

If I dont see anything, I'm all for moving

Alia if you take a step back (north) we can sidle along the northern wall to the storage

Sevin braces his longspear and moves through move actions or 5 foot steps while keeping an attack readied (Readied standard action) to attack any attacking opponents that come within reach.

Zahmahkibo: just a reminder for the AoOs of my reach weapon + the readied action

Semi off topic: bloody hell, check the map, why would a tiny museum need a 25x30 ft lavatory?

Argh, just noticed I said 'spot check'. Damn DnD still in my head. I meant Perception of course

I suspect we posted simultaneously. Any results on my spot check?

Sevin takes a good hard long look at the chamber.

Take 20 on Spot check: 20+5 = 25

The scrolls are only divvied up for the duration of the adventure anyway, you can't take them with you at the end unless you pay for them, as per PFS rules

Sevin sheathes the longsword and equips his longspear.
Now he's scurried off, shall we proceed to the zoo of legend? Same formation and plan as we used to enter this room?
I'll be glad to be out of here, this rag is starting to smell

Sevin whispers to Fissa
Tell them to cover their mouths before they come out

Sevin opens the cabinet

Seems they're gonna be alright, shall we move on, unless you guys still want to check out the room they were in?

My perception check sucked so if you guys want a go in the office, please do so.

Hehehehhe

Sevin puts rags over the mouths of the unconscious men and drags them to the door, leaving them at the entrance to the building (but still inside). He then returns to the office where the apes attacked us and starts checking it out.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Well enough, thanks. Let's get these two outside and look for Nigel

If my calculation is correct I'm at 14 out of 16 hp. Good enough to continue. I'm also investing in a Wand of CLW asap

Sevin retrieves his dropped longspear and, if nobody stops him, starts carrying the first of the two monkeymen outside after putting a piece of cloth in front of their mouths
