Two hits (-101). Not enough to bring her down but close.

Will post her retaliatory action later.

Those nat 20's deserved something imho.

And that is enough to avoid the combat with the Grey Guardians and the Citizen Judge. Aric is freed and they all disperse. He is rather impressed you you, especially the act of using the Red Raven costume to help secure his release. He happily reveals the secret password (Sweet Geppa) to unlock the double doors leading to the throne room.

An ornate purple carpet bisects this huge audience chamber, running from the huge double doors that lead to the courtyard to the east all the way up a short flight of steps to a beautifully carved wooden throne that looks out over the chamber. To the left of the carpet is an enormous dining table with two long benches. Unfinished meals and drinks rest upon the table, as if more than a dozen men abandoned a meal in progress not long ago. A smaller table on the other side of the carpet is piled high with stacks of paper, maps, and envelopes, arrayed in a pattern that suggests a formal investigation. Doors on the east and west walls appear to lead to other chambers.

And that also hits (-83)

Rani moves to shield Dr Cupi with her body while attacking.

Take 10 for 36
alp:: 1d20 + 14 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 14 + 2 - 2 = 26 fire: 3d4 + 5 ⇒ (3, 4, 1) + 5 = 13
trick damage: 6d8 ⇒ (6, 8, 7, 3, 6, 3) = 33

With that good bluff, everyone believes that's the Red Raven. Unfortunately the diplomacy is not enough to make the judge helpful enough to release the prisoner into your care. ((So close - any aids))

So far, Peter feels no effect. He does hit the Queen (-31). Miss Sorbet also hits (-52). Folmyr also manages to score a hit with Ms Sorbet's help. (-71).

Zac and Erevan still to go.

And Peter finishes off Green.

The Queen seems rather annoyed by Peter, having taken out the kill shot on both wasps, moves to Peter and stings him twice.
sting: 1d20 + 17 - 0 ⇒ (9) + 17 - 0 = 26 piercing: 2d8 + 9 ⇒ (8, 3) + 9 = 20 + poison fort DC 22
sting: 1d20 + 17 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 17 - 5 = 32 piercing: 2d8 + 9 ⇒ (5, 4) + 9 = 18 + poison fort DC 22

Everyone is up.

ref: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Twilight fires another ray.
energy ray: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 cold: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

I need to make this spell more accurate and powerful

Only the first one hits. (Green: -39). They're not down yet so they go all out on Zac.

sting: 1d20 + 12 - 0 ⇒ (12) + 12 - 0 = 24 piercing: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 + poison fort DC 21
sting: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (1) + 12 - 5 = 8 piercing: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 + poison fort DC 21
sting: 1d20 + 12 - 10 ⇒ (15) + 12 - 10 = 17 piercing: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 + poison fort DC 21

Peter is up followed by the Queen.

The lie is sold. The 15 commoners in the Courtyard, the angry judge atop the courtyard wall, and the four Gray Gardeners begin the encounter with a
hostile attitude toward the PCs. But Percy has managed to shift the attitudes from hostile to indifferent. One more successful diplomacy this round will shift the judge to helpful. Messing up could make it worse.

Percy has stepped forward and the rest of the party are now gathered behind him just outside the chapel door.

Still in the chapel as far as I'm aware

If you've had a gastroscopy or a tracheoscopy without anesthesia, you'll know what I'm talking about. Been there done that, not recommending it

It will be extremely uncomfortable, especially if you cannot suppress your gag reflex.

But, drawing lots is acceptable.

Looking through the double doors, you see the following:

More than a dozen angry Galtan citizens throng the narrow courtyard of the keep, crowding around a tall wooden guillotine erected on the far end. Four tall, gaunt human men wearing long gray coats and armed with sturdy halberds patrol the angry Mob, keeping the peace while at the same time cheering along with the bloodthirsty crowd. Howls of “off with his head!” and “death to the noble traitor!” emerge from the loud din of the rabble. A richly garbed man wearing an absurd hat festooned with ribbons and badges looks down on the crowd from atop the courtyard wall, unfurling a scroll and preparing to speak. As the crowd shifts to reveal the guillotine, the focus of all the anger becomes clear. Kneeling in the mud, his neck exposed to the guillotine’s blade, is a dark-haired human man dressed in familiar red leather armor.

Aric of Halvon, screams the hat-wearing man atop the courtyard wall. You stand accused as an enemy of the Red Revolution and a sworn foe of the People of Galt. By my decree, you are required to grant us the magical password that grants access to Montrose Keep, so that the ill-gotten gains of your evil nobility can be distributed to the good people of Galt!

Folmyr hits the Queen (-22)
Ereven hits Green (-31)
Miss Sorbet misses.

Zac (two fort saves) to go.

Tie, Jenaris, Jenaris, Ruby, Jenaris, Ruby

Jenaris: 17 Ruby: 2

You played well little halfling but if you quit now, I shall only charge fifteen years for the mirror, being the difference between our pile of tokens.

1d20 ⇒ 9
1d20 ⇒ 9

26 is not a crit

Red is taken out by Peter's crit shot (It only had 3hp left)

The Queen takes a step to avoid being off guard before stinging Zac. It then commands Green to sting Zac as well. (Free attack)
queen sting: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25 piercing: 2d8 + 9 ⇒ (2, 7) + 9 = 18 + poison fort DC 22
green sting: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26 piercing: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 + poison fort DC 21

Everyone is up except Peter.

Two hits from Zac onto the greenish giant wasp (-18)

Red: -42 persistent fire:2; Queen: -0

The Greenish wasp is a bit annoyed at this, and goes all out on Zac.
stinger: 1d20 + 12 - 0 ⇒ (9) + 12 - 0 = 21 piercing: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 + poison
stinger: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (8) + 12 - 5 = 15 piercing: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 + poison
stinger: 1d20 + 12 - 10 ⇒ (16) + 12 - 10 = 18 piercing: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 + poison

Peter is up followed by Red and the devil queen.

Ruby: 4 Jeneris: 17

I hope that wasn't deliberate my dear. But those two twentys. Desna may have forgiven you by now.

1d20 ⇒ 18
1d20 ⇒ 19
1d20 ⇒ 14
1d20 ⇒ 6

Zac saves both times. Which one are you hitting?

Wins: Ruby, Tie, Jelaris, Jelaris, Jalaris, Tie`

And I made a mistake with the token count at one point. Rechecking puts the score at Team RWBY: 7, Jenars: 14

Jenaris's next six rolls.
1d20 ⇒ 16
1d20 ⇒ 18
1d20 ⇒ 3
1d20 ⇒ 5
1d20 ⇒ 2
1d20 ⇒ 19

The score is now Ruby: 5 Jenris: 16

Ooooh. Don't look so despondent. Who knows, Desna may be in your favour next time.

Five dice later.
1d20 ⇒ 20
1d20 ⇒ 14
1d20 ⇒ 18
1d20 ⇒ 19
1d20 ⇒ 19

Erevan scores a crit with the alchemical fire. (Red -42 and on fire). That insect is starting to look rather crispy and BBQed.

Does persistent also gets doubled on a crit?

Zac still to go after rolling two fort saves.

1) Jelaris wins
2) Huong wins
3) Jelaris wins
4) Jelaris wins
5) Huong wins

Ruby: 9, Huong: 2, Jelaris: 14

Huong rolls twice more
1d20 ⇒ 20
1d20 ⇒ 1

Jelaris rolls five times
1d20 ⇒ 6
1d20 ⇒ 19
1d20 ⇒ 5
1d20 ⇒ 14
1d20 ⇒ 4

Huong rolls from his last token
1d20 ⇒ 14

6) Huong wins
7) Jelaris wins
8) Ruby wins, Huong is out
9) Jelaris wins
10) Ruby wins

Ruby: 6, Jelaris: 11

Jelarise's next six rolls.
1d20 ⇒ 15
1d20 ⇒ 1
1d20 ⇒ 11
1d20 ⇒ 19
1d20 ⇒ 5
1d20 ⇒ 14

Folmyr is Enfeebled 2. None of those strikes hit.

Is anyone going to try and look like the Red Raven?

Going through the door, you emerge in the chapel on the grounds of Teppin Montrose’s old estate in Edme.

The secret door from the tunnel leading down into the Raven’s Roost opens into the false facade of an altar in an austere chapel dedicated to Abadar, Master of the First Vault. Numerous lit candles flicker from shelves built into the whitewashed walls, which extend thirty feet to end in what must be some sort of spire or steeple. The upper walls of the structure bear huge stained-glass windows. From the light illuminating their colorful scenes it’s clear you’ve emerged onto the surface.

Two huge double doors on the far wall, about 20 feet away, stand open just a crack, revealing a sliver of the courtyard beyond. Several figures throng the yard, jeering and yelling. Inside the chapel, though, all is quiet.

There doesn't seem to be any effect on Peter - yet.

Miss Sorbet misses twice.

Ereven, Folmyr(fort save) and Zac(fort save, fort save) still to go.

Huong: 1d20 ⇒ 8
Huong: 1d20 ⇒ 12

After five more rounds, Ruby has fourteen tokens in front of her, Huong has five and Jelaris has sixteen tokens left. Skurge is out.

There seems to be no signs of trickery of threats.

Five more dice rolls from Jelaris, one roll per round.
Jelaris: 1d20 ⇒ 18
Jelaris: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Jelaris: 1d20 ⇒ 17
Jelaris: 1d20 ⇒ 10
Jelaris: 1d20 ⇒ 9

twenty bones: 1d20 ⇒ 7
twenty bones: 1d20 ⇒ 5
twenty bones: 1d20 ⇒ 15
twenty bones: 1d20 ⇒ 16
twenty bones: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Red takes the hit (-24) then moves up and goes for Peter twice.
stinger: 1d20 + 12 - 0 ⇒ (17) + 12 - 0 = 29 piercing: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
stinger: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 12 - 5 = 21 piercing: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
(If any of those hit, roll a Fort save)

The Queen backs off from Folmyr (not grappled) and casts enfeeble on him. Fort save.

Everyone but Peter is up.

Skurge also pays a token and rolls the dice.

Yes. Me

Green squeezes in and goes for Zac.
stinger: 1d20 + 12 - 0 ⇒ (14) + 12 - 0 = 26 piercing: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
stinger: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 12 - 5 = 24 piercing: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
(If any of those hit, roll a Fort save)

Peter is up followed by the Queen and Red.

Huong pays a token and rolls a dice.

Please indicate how you are splitting the initial pool of twenty tokens. Anyone who runs out of tokens is out of the game.

So far it is Skurge and Ruby who consist Team RWBY. You are given twenty tokens to split among you and have to pay a token to get a die. Ruby pays a token and Jelaris pays a token for a die each.
1d20 ⇒ 16

Ruby wins, gaining two tokens.

Score:
Team RWBY: 21
Jelaris: 19

Is Skurge going to roll this round and is anyone else joining in? Although, at this point, Skurge's roll would not change the outcome of this round.

You have to get all of Jelaris's tokens. She started out with twenty. You spend tokens to get dice. You all start out with twenty tokens which you split among whoever is playing. Each roll that wins gains two tokens.

So who is in? Ruby obviously.

There has to be something about halflings as Madame Jelaris cannot help but smile. A year is a year, little one. I ... would say it is a one to one exchange rate although, I suspect your people pack more into those years than we do

You give the ring to the phoenix who promptly swallows it. Zaliex then offers to help them at any time in the future, either with magical aid or information about arcane subjects before vanishing.

Also, you were told by the scallies that the Red Raven killed Adril as Adril was responsible for Montrose's death.

Same, plus they're still here for a re-read. Many of my discord games are now lost.

It's a simple game called Twentybones played with twenty sided dice.

See Gamemastery Guide page 241

It is possible that the 'TM' on the Map of the World is Teppin Montrose, who the phoenix had mentioned as being an ex-Pathfinder. Comparing that with the list of names could mean that K could be Kyalla, S is Shemis, EK = Eddington Keel and O is Prince Odrian,

Hero points in PFS1e? There are t-shirt rerolls or folio rerolls if you have those

I just GMed 1-25 Grim Symphony for the second time. Am I able to use a Replay in order to assign the Chronicle to a PC?

From what I've read, the answer is no, even though it does add to ACP and the table count. But I'd like conformation.

It's a nice scenario though. I even played the organ music. I recommend, Toccata and Fugue in D Minor for the initial approach, Danse Macabre just when entering the concert hall and Thriller for the actual combat.

I also played a Tesla coil version of Also Sprach Zarathustra prior to the first encounter.

Wish Paizo would commission more musical themed scenarios.
