Rise of the Runelords Book 1 Table 2 PFS

[Lynn Kuro]

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Lynn was busy eying her party members and looking out for potential ambushes. "You are from Tian? I've never been but my father told me stories of it many times. He was not as fond as you seem to be however. He grew up there actually, but ventured towards the inner sea to start his career as a merchant in a new place. He still won't just settle down."

Monty seems more interested in teasing Fali than in paying attention to the world around him.

I'll have to introduce you to my Sensei back in Tian someday you know... I think you'd get along well with him. Or at least, you will, can't speak for the peanut gallery. I'm guessing Fritty will hate him. If she thinks I can be obtuse, she should try listening to him explain something. You'd walk away sure you know less than what you did before you started!

He chortles.

Took forever to get the hang of the Koans.

"Oh I am from Tian Xia, too! I am from Leng Hao, a village full of Kitsune and Halflings in the Forest of Spirits east of Hongal. Where exactly are coming from? And you Lynn, where was your father from?" Kioshi asks.

Kioshi looks like a Chelaxian rather than someone from Tian."

[Lynn Kuro]

sense motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
bluff: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Lynn scanned Kioshi up and down, "You don't look like you hail from Tian, but I suppose i don't much look it either. Growing up in the islands and taking more after my mother I suppose. Father didn't really talk about his village much so the name escapes me at the moment, mulawin? Muliwan? Something like that he told me stories of spirits and great beasts that roamed the forests. Perhaps the same forest you speak of." She made wide arching motions with her arms and began to laugh. "He said he once saw a boar the size of a house. Could you believe such a magnificent sight?"

She pulled her arms back in, "I've never been to Tian Xia however. I was born here in the inner sea, didn't see much of my mother growing up but my father says i look just like her. We spent so many years traveling on his ship between islands, it's where i found my passion for song and dance. But i could lead you around a ship too."

She's lying about the exact location, but he really has told her some ridiculous stories. Also it's lovely how the two kitsune are just trying to outlie each other XD

[Mr. Monty]

Monty watches the two banter and smiles.

Nah, I'm from the Mwangi, from a little forest village in the middle of nowhere you've never heard of and probably couldn't pronounce. But, when I left, I traveled the world, and ended up in Tian where I learned focus and the ways of the counselor.

He hoots at a personal joke and gives a big smile.

I was suppose to learn inner peace, but I frustrated my poor sensai so much he ended up teaching me the way of the Sage Fist instead. Mostly by way of practical demonstration!

[Aroden Reincarnated]

I did spend some time in Tian Xia, to learn and teach. Or He did? In His/my guises, of course. Would have been disrespectful otherwise. He/I have, or had, no, have more than enough to deal with in Avistan. We always did like Shizuru, though.
Aroden watches the Kitsune banter, amused.

[Jeydahvu]

When a kitsune meets a kitsune... hehehe priceless interaction up there! lol

Alright, heroes time to make choices.

I was able to find the map from the book, but I can't copy and past, so we use the handdrawn one, at the top of the page.

DoubleGold: I can setup the slides for you if you link the maps like you did right here. I'll do that at home later tonight. The reason why you can't cut and paste has to do with the browser settings that some offices use. I'm in the same boat and usually work on my maps from my home PC. The workaround, if you can't wait, is to click "Insert" in the Google Slide menu, then pick the picture file from your CPU by following the prompts. Even if your office settings don't allow for Cut and Paste into Google Slides, the 'Insert' menu should still work.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

"Huh... folks.... I found a cave that seems to lead towards our site. I can see in the dark. Wanna go that way?"

[Aroden Reincarnated]

"Keen eyes, Jeydahvu! Let us go that way."
The wizard casts Light on the Sword of Aroden.
It's a MW longsword, and since his name is Aroden, any sword he wields is technically the Sword of Aroden.

[Kioshi Katsu]

”Lynn I can imagine that life on a ship is very exciting. Especially, if you have a father that has traveled so much as yours. He definitely had an interesting life and I hope that you still enjoy his stories. And I have to admit that I was not born in the far east. My mother is a Kitsune that fled Cheliax years ago as a pregnant woman with five unborn babies in her belly. Well, her husband was willing to sacrifice her unborn children to close a deal with a devil. You know … it sounds better when I say „ her husband“ because I do not have to say … „my father“.” he says with some anger and grief in his voice.

[DoubleGold]

Alright you guys find that cave underneath, you know that map found online, not my handdrawn one, those white dotted lines, you come out on the north side. DC climb 15 to get onto the land, you may take 10 and as many turns as you'd like provided you don't fail by five or more. You see see several groups of goblins. You may surprise attack the 10 goblins in C4, or the 4 goblin dogs in C5, init happens after this from both sides, unless you take out all creatures in one of the areas, if a side is attack and is left with men, both sides attack you. It is assumed that surprise round happens after everyone gets on the land as you wait for each other, so roll climb until you get 15 or higher, then roll your surprise round attack. If you get climb 10 or lower, then make a swim check of 15 to say afloat, get a swim of 10 or lower and you drift away. If you get swim of 20, you can swim off by yourself. It normally takes a 20 swim just to get through the cave, but I assume you all help each other and hold onto each other, create a chain, etc. and not just swim by yourself
Surprise round and climb checks go.

[Aroden Reincarnated]

How many Climb checks are needed to succeed?
I have a way we could ignore this section entirely and just get to the island - Aroden could use his bonded item to cast Levitate up to the bottom of the bridge, trailing a rope, and move by hand under the bridge to the island - but we might miss out on things. So we can go the long way.

[DoubleGold]

One climb check needed dc 15, you would need to swim to the bridge anyway for your plan to work Aroden, as there are no rocks or cave to grab onto, it would require the swim of 20 to get underneath the bridge, you are just on the north side of the white dotted line.

[Aroden Reincarnated]

Or just swim out to the island and Levitate there. Maybe with the best swimmer leading with a rope. That would bypass this mainland section altogether.
Maybe we don't want to do that (missing out on rewards), but even hitting the mainland, having a leader with a rope is probably the best way to climb.
Aroden is just +1 Climb, and though he can use Foresight to pre-roll until he gets a 14, Lynn is -1, Faliana is +3, so a rope makes a lot of sense. Jeydavhu (+13)? Monty (+10)?

[Jeydahvu]

Jeydahvu ties a rope around himself and pulls the others while climbing or swimming.

Taking 10 on both I get Climb 21 and Swim 20

[DoubleGold]

Rope, +5 to climb. Assisting each other up the rope, +2. Literally everyone will now have a +7 to climb, so if Lynn is the worst at -1, you can all take 10 -1+7+10=16. Anyone have worse? If not, just work the surprise round, unless you plan to bypass this section and miss out on a lot of rewards.

[Aroden Reincarnated]

Aroden comes up on top of the cliff and crouches behind some bushes. He points at the goblins, and then at the goblin dogs.
"These first?" he mouths soundlessly, pointing at the dogs. He draws and loads his heavy crossbow.

[Lynn Kuro]

After being heavily assisted by the others Lynn took a breather and looked to where Aroden pointed. She nodded and loaded her weapon. "My weapon won't be very effective from this far."

[DoubleGold]

Lynn, you pistol will reach a dog in range one as you shoot through the bushes, but it will make lot of noise attracting nearly all the attention.

[Lynn Kuro]

yeah let's just not shoot that yet lol, i thought we were out of range but i also know it's obscenely loud.

[Aroden Reincarnated]

Aroden can give his heavy crossbow to Lynn (it's quieter and she's a better shot than he is), and prepare to cast a spell.

[Mr. Monty]

Monty squats and holds his staff at the ready, preparing to jump in once the fireworks start.

[Jeydahvu]

Jeydahvu casts protection from evil on the way there and drinks an antiplague. He then motions to the others to quietly follow him towards the goblin dogs.

Once there, he reads a scroll of shield, then nodding to the others, steps out quietly and walks up to the dogs, sword drawn, and tries to put them down before they bark and announce their arrival.
Initiative: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Stealth: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15

Surprise Round once in position beside the dogs:
Rage + Power Attack:
Greatsword, Rage, Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 for 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (1, 2) + 15 = 18 slashing damage.

Buffs: Antiplague, Protection from Evil, Shield (AC 22 vs. evil, 20 vs. others)

[Aroden Reincarnated]

On Jeydavhu's signal, Aroden fires a Ray of Frost at a dog from 30' away (at one not in melee).
Prescience Pre-roll 1/7: 1d20 ⇒ 8 Good enough.
He'll use that pre-roll as his attack against Flat-footed Touch AC (likely just 10+size modifier, unless they have any Deflection bonuses).
Attack: 8 + 3 = 11
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3
Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

[DoubleGold]

jeydahvu slices a goblin dog in two
Aroden freezes a goblin dog's butt, but it survives.
Mr. Monty, Lynn, Faliana are up in surprise round. 3 dogs, one of which is hurt.

[Mr. Monty]

Monty quickly moves up behind Jeydahvu, staff twirling as he prepares for the dogs to attack.

Snake Style: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31 AC vs. first attack

[Aroden Reincarnated]

Monty, since we are hoping to take out all the dogs before they can react and make any noise, do you think you could do a partial charge (40' move) in the surprise round? You could still do your Snake Style, it's only a swift action.

[DoubleGold]

mr. Monty damage dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

[Mr. Monty]

Didn't think I could do a charge in surprise, happy to do so. thank you for the roll GM

[DoubleGold]

You're not charging, basically you came out from behind them, you just move through the bushes and bam
okay, so Lynn and Falian both try to hit the dogs in respective order. hit: 2d20 ⇒ (3, 9) = 12, unless lynn has a +8 to hit, then no, but Faliana will hit the dog, the very injured dog and kill it.

init of dogs: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (8) = 10 2 dogs left. Try to kill them before they take their turn.
Aroden rolled, he has and 8
jeydavu rolled, he has a 15
init Mr. Monty: 3 + 1d20 ⇒ 3 + (5) = 8
init: 5 + 1d20 ⇒ 5 + (13) = 18 Lynn
init: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (11) = 13 Faliana
Lynn, Jeydavu and Faliana are up three of you go before they do, and there are two dogs.

[Jeydahvu]

Round 1
Rage + Power Attack:
Greatsword, Rage, Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 vs Flat-Footed AC for 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (1, 6) + 15 = 22 slashing damage.
SWOOOOOSH!

Buffs: Antiplague, Protection from Evil, Shield (AC 22 vs. evil, 20 vs. others)

[Lynn Kuro]

i've only got a +7 to hit. Dunno if goblin dogs have natural armor but if not then even a 10 will hit. Since i'd be going against flatfooted touch ac if we're within 20 ft.
Lynn had waited until the very end of everyone else running up to strike before firing her noisy weapon. Afterwards she would stay still and begin reloading a standard shot using her powder horn, tear of cloth, and finally ramming the cloth and bullet down the barrel.

[DoubleGold]

flatfooted AC of 11, And I'm assuming you used a weapon other than your gun in the surprise round, even if that meant borrowing someone's throwing weapon. The one you tried hit had 1 HP left. But Faliana did hit it

[Faliana "Conduit" Galina]

Faliana, a new potion strapped to her pack and Mariel still in her head, follows behind the group as they climb the cliff, laughing silently at the two women sizing each other up.

Late reply to Monty:

"Considering it seems like your sensei is a man, I think that'd already put him in her bad graces. Add in nonsensical speaking and she would positively loathe him! But still I would love to meet him sometime, and maybe even bring Fritannia along as well, she could learn a thing or two about restraint and thinking things through..."

At the top of the cliff, Faliana moves, fairly ungracefully, into the bushes and waits for the signal to attack. She pulls out her longspear and sticks one of the dogs brining it down. She then takes a moment to remember the tactics for incorporating Mariel's magic into her longspear attacks she had developed with Brady all those months ago. With a spear shimmering in arcane magic she tries to stab another dog-like-thingie.
"You know these giant overgrown rats goe sown really easily!"

_____________
Move to grap Arcane strike, Swift to activate it and standard to attack. If she has to move she'll just move and attack.
Mwk Longspear thrust, vs. FF: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Arcane striked damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13

[Lynn Kuro]

Just so everyone knows Lynn has to spend round 1 reloading her pistol. Standard action, and then waiting out my move and free.
1 alchemical cartridge used, 1 dose BP and bullet.

[Jeydahvu]

As per DoubleGold's strong hint... please don't use a gun unless you have oil of silence here; we're trying to be stealthy; a bow or crossbow would do

[Aroden Reincarnated]

That's why I offered my heavy crossbow to Lynn in the post above.

[DoubleGold]

Lynn Pmed me insisting she used her gun in surprise round. So a loud noise is made, sorry but stealth is broken, goblins will be here in round one, you won't get a surprise round on them too. If you were able to kill all the dogs before they could take their turn by a longshot, you would be able to go through the bushes and surprise the ten goblins too.

Faliana spears a dog through the head and kills it.
The other dog tries to bite Faliana bit: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (1) = 3 and it also howls and barks
The goblins spend the entire round getting to you.
Aroden and Mr. Monty are up You have one dog left, you also have 10 goblins coming at you from the west, it will take them a double move just to reach you. You can attack the dog, or ready an attack and attack the goblins. Place yourselves on the map, for those wondering, if you were fighting the dog, via melee, you can reach the front lined goblins within a single move. Otherwise doublemove if taking the path. I know, no squares, but exact position doesn't matter this combat, I just need a good estimate.
init of goblins: 6 + 1d20 ⇒ 6 + (8) = 14
So when round two comes it will be Lynn then goblins
edit: almost forgot the good news. Because Lynn did use her gun, she did hit, since it was vs flatfooted and touch, thus AC 10 as the dogs bonus is due to natural ac dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 1 so the last dog only has 8 HP left, since Lynn hit it for one damage.

[Aroden Reincarnated]

No worries. The crossbow was just an idea.
Aroden moves away from the goblins (in the general direction of the dogs) drawing his sword, and uses Total Defense as a standard action. AC 22 this round. Can use Inspiring Sword next round, but it is a full-round action so he couldn't combine it with a move.

[Jeydahvu]

???? O_O ???? I don't understand why we're breaking stealth for a puny 1 point of damage, but I'll leave it at that, and trust that Lynn has something up her sleeve against the 10 goblins... also, Jeydahvu was at Init 15 I think so perhaps I can go before the gob-gobs too? if so, Jeydahvu will stealth and ready an attack against incoming goblins...

Jeydahvu turns to Lynn, clearly startled by the gunshot, "What is this?! what are you doing?!? you'll get us killed!"

In round 2, Jeydahvu attempts to finish that dog quickly then stealth into the bushes before the goblins show up.

Greatsword, Rage, Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 for 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (5, 5) + 15 = 25 slashing damage.
Stealth: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8 "Grr... stupid bush!! you don't have enough leaves!!!", mutters Jeydahvu, his eyes filled with hate at the sparse shrubbery.

[DoubleGold]

Jeydahvu kills the dog quickly, and they hear and see him move through the bushes, but their main concern is charging through the line.
Lynn is up
Jeydahvu, the dogs have 9 HP each. The odds of Lynn doing 9 damage with a weapon other than her gun when round 1 came around, where there, but not all that great. Goblins might be here anyway, so don't be too mad at her, at least in an out of character perspective. In an in character perspective, your guy being furious is very understandable.
Mr. Monty is up round 1 and Lynn for round 2

Round 2 Init
Lynn: 18
Jeydahvu: 15 went
Goblins: 14
Faliana: 13
Mr. Monty: 8
Aroden: 8 You don't have to wait for each other though, the main thing is before the goblins and after the goblins.

[Jeydahvu]

LOL! not mad at all! (OOC that is!) it's Friday, and I understand the chaos of battle and gunslingers wanting to shoot their guns! lol just thought we were in 'fast mode' i.e. stealth and eliminate, as it's safer for the squishies in the party with low HP, but I'm happy either way! especially with pro vs. evil and shield up! bring 'em allllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lynn Kuro]

i had already used most of my surprise round to ready my gun before aroden offered the bow so i just went with me using the gun.

"We shall discuss it later. I have a plan for now however."
Lynn will move towards where to goblins are coming from and begin to chant along her way.
"Oh mighty spirits, warriors of the waves grant us your strength to fel these knaves."
inspire courage, +1 to attack, damage, and saving throws. I think it stacks with aroden's since they are different types let's hope the goblins are stacked up cause if so it's time for this little bard of mine to shine
Edit: also i forgot to put it on my own end, but Lynn's pistol does 1d8+1(i completely forgot that masterwork is +1 to attack and damage x.x)

[Mr. Monty]

Monty attempts to bash the dog upside the head...

Quarterstaff: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Strike Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Flurry Quarterstaff: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Strike Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

but apparently is to shocked by the sound of the gun going off and nearly fumbles his staff.

Snake Style - AC vs first attack in round =
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

[DoubleGold]

Mr. Monty the dog is dead, but you would have missed the goblins anyhow.
2 Goblins take the path and move forward to be in melee with Faliana and Aroden. The other 8 move forward and will attempt to shoot Mr. Monty through the bushes, even though he has 3/4 cover.
hit: 4 - 5 + 1d20 ⇒ 4 - 5 + (1) = 0

total piercing dmg: 3d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 3) = 10

[Lynn Kuro]

When round 2 gets around to lynn she's casing chord of shards starting at the head of the 2 wide side of the column so it should hit 6 of the 8 if they are standing in 4 rows of 2. DC.14 dex negate 2d6+1(from courage) piercing damage. Also will i have to roll a acro to get through the bushes?

Lynn dashes forward to the column of goblins her voice rising to a deafening pitch causing the very air around her to solidify. The transparent solidified air crystals shot forward into the wave of goblins.

"Zu'u vey voth Kren Su!"

[Aroden Reincarnated]

"FOR SANDPOINT!"
Aroden takes a 5' step back from the goblins in melee with him and uses Inspiring Sword.
+2 Sacred bonus to attacks, saves, and skill checks.

[Faliana "Conduit" Galina]

Thanks for placing me on the map!
Wait as in 'right next to her' melee? Fali has a longspear with reach and combat reflexes, so she might get an AoO or two there

If one of them did provoke:

Faliana takes a stab at the goblin trying to get closer to her.
__________
AoO, Mwk longspear, Inspiring sword: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24
Damage, Arcane strike: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9

Faliana takes a step back and reimbues her longspear with arcane power before stabbing out at the goblin that approached her earlier. "Oh, great, goblins. But at least they aren't singing like last time! I'll gladly take ten not singing goblins over three that are!"

__________
Mwk longspear, Inspiring sword: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18
Damage, Arcane strike: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13

[DoubleGold]

Yep four rows of 2 Lynn makes it through the bushes and throws shards at six goblins dmg: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1) + 1 = 4
reflex: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (6) = 8
reflex: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (3) = 5
reflex: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (4) = 6
reflex: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (4) = 6
reflex: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (14) = 16 this one unharmed
reflex: 2 + 1d20 ⇒ 2 + (8) = 10 and none are dead, but massive oouch
Aroden gives everyone encouragment
Faliana kills the two goblins in melee
Mr. Monty, Jeydahvu are up fixing map to adjust enemies

Goblins, first five have 5 dmg on them
Other three at full health
Mr. Monty at 10 points of dmg.

[Jeydahvu]

Is the dog dead with 25dmg?

[Mr. Monty]

Why you blasted little...

Quarterstaff: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Strike Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Quarterstaff: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Strike Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Snake Style - AC vs first attack in round =
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

[DoubleGold]

Yeah, dog is dead with 25 dmg, has been removed from map. And you can get to the next set of goblins behind the ones Mr. Monty killed with a single move provided you have a speed of 30.
Mr. Monty moves in and kills 2 goblins as he swings his staff fast and hard.
