PFS by PbP scenario TBD

[Brayden Green]

Almost done with doing a cr 16 encounter in a PbP. I wonder if I get a medal for that...

[Shilyn DeSable]

Round 3:

In her mind's eye, Shilyn watches in fascination as the two behemoths go at each other. "Ok you big hulk, smash this ape," she muses as she directs the monolith to try and pound the huge ape into pulp.

Ok, so I couldn't resist the Hulk Smash line.. so sue me.. heh

attack 1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38
damage 1: 4d12 + 27 ⇒ (8, 12, 4, 1) + 27 = 52
confirm crit 1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34
crit damage if confirmed: 4d12 + 27 ⇒ (6, 9, 8, 1) + 27 = 51

attack 2: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31
damage 2: 4d12 + 27 ⇒ (10, 2, 12, 1) + 27 = 52

[Brayden Green]

To be clear in case there was confusion, I am waiting for a few people from round 3 to still post.

So far I only have Shilyn and Varian for round 3.

[Flori]

Missile at the big ape thing.

Pew!: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

[Mylvwara Elberion]

I've got nothing, beyond making mental notes.

[Amnur Roanock]

Whoops! Sorry B

Round 3:

Holding his ground against the vile ape-creatures, Amnur swings low with his waraxe, other hand clasping his shield tightly. "I'll try and move to flank!" he shouts over his shoulder at Varian, and shuffles 5' to the NW, skirting the apes and risking a quick glance over his shoulder at the battling behemoths. Come on Shi! Finish that brute!

Attack&Damage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 171d10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

AC21

[Oriandor Coronalis]

Round 3:

Cursing at his target, Oriandor thrusts his blade straight towards the charau-ka in front of him. "Hold still so I can spank you properly!"

Attack at monkey facing him: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Damage on a hit: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

[Brayden Green]

Round 3 results "The hobbit crowd"

Holding his ground against the vile ape-creatures, Amnur swings low with his waraxe, other hand clasping his shield tightly. "I'll try and move to flank!" he shouts over his shoulder at Varian, and shuffles 5' to the NW, skirting the apes and risking a quick glance over his shoulder at the battling behemoths. Come on Shi! Finish that brute!
Attack&Damage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 171d10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

This powerful attack finishes off the monkey.

Cursing at his target, Oriandor thrusts his blade straight towards the charau-ka in front of him. "Hold still so I can spank you properly!"
Attack at monkey facing him: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11, which results in a miss.

Mylvie studies the creatures looking for a weakness.
give me a knowledge nature on this one.

Varian swings at the monkeys, now in between he and Amnur, but does not hit.

Ape men #2 attacks Oriandor in retaliation club: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 hitting him and doing 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 damage. EDIT: Ouch. Max...

Two more Charauka run into the fight, having breached the wall.

Flori focuses on the ape men in front of Ori, and sets a collection of glowing balls towards them, which damages them. I changed your trajectory because of the success that Shilyn is going to have in her round.

Summary: One Ape Men dead, other one hurt slightly, 2 more join the fight. Oriandor receives 7 damage.

[Brayden Green]

Statue on Steriods round summary:

In her mind's eye, Shilyn watches in fascination as the two behemoths go at each other. "Ok you big hulk, smash this ape," she muses as she directs the monolith to try and pound the huge ape into pulp.
Ok, so I couldn't resist the Hulk Smash line.. so sue me.. heh

attack 1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38
damage 1: 4d12 + 27 ⇒ (8, 12, 4, 1) + 27 = 52
confirm crit 1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34
crit damage if confirmed: 4d12 + 27 ⇒ (6, 9, 8, 1) + 27 = 51

attack 2: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31
damage 2: 4d12 + 27 ⇒ (10, 2, 12, 1) + 27 = 52

The beast lets out a roar of frustration and anguish as all 1000 pounds go crashing into a lifeless clump under the stone fists of the camp controlled assailant.

Just as the beast falls, the sites uncovered stone starts to diminish its glow, and the statue walks briskly to the door that if came from (covering a lot of ground in a little time.)

Shilyn, you no longer have control of the statue, and regain consciousness the next round.

[Brayden Green]

Round 4 ready set go.

[Varian Amari]

round 4:

Varian maneuvers if he can to get flank, and takes yet another bash with his hammer.

to hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 - plus another 2 if he can get flank

dmg if hits: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

[Amnur Roanock]

Nice going Shi!

Round 4:

Amnur shouts in glee as the monkey falls, and maintains the flank with Varian against the next foe. "It's like chopping gold from clay! Ahahaha!" his voice wild and exhilarated with battle-lust.

Attack&Damage: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 = 211d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 +2 is flank

[Shilyn DeSable]

Round 4:

Shilyn lays in a daze as the magic flowing from the cube abruptly ends. Her eyes open and reaching up, she rubs her temples with long, slender fingertips. "Ow, my head hurts," she mutters as her begins to refocus, "ub whoa was that intense." Slowly, she gets to her feet, a bit unsteadily, reaching for her rapier.

[Flori]

Round 4:

Flori looks to see if Shi is stirring. If she's coming to, the half orc slings another missile at the monkey man who's yet to enter combat with the frontline.

I'm a monkaaaay ma-yun!

[Oriandor Coronalis]

@GM Brayden actually, a 19 wouldn't hit me. With the Shield spell up, my AC is currently 21.

Round 4:

Gotta say the obvious...
Over his shoulder, Oriandor yells at the half-elf, "Still only counts as one!". Now fed up with the beast assailing him, Oriandor ducks back a half-step, letting the apeman fill the void before stepping back in for a driving thrust.
Wakizashi attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage on a hit: [/dice]1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
[ooc]Confirm crit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Crit damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
"Take that you poor excuse for a circus act!"

[Brayden Green]

Sorry guys, 2 different couples coming in tomorrow early morning to check the place out, so I have been doing a multi purpose day of getting things deep cleaned and getting the house de-junked... I even had to miss my PFS live session... <<FROWNIE FACE>>

I will be here tomorrow afternoon after these guys disappear. Hopefully one of these people will work out.

[Amnur Roanock]

Fingers crossed for you!

[Brayden Green]

Sorry guys, I'm back. The first couple seemed really interested in our place, and the second was a no show (a pox on their houses).

The house is in immaculate shape (besides all the yard sell boxes in the crawlspace, lol. (How we have managed to amass so much crap in 7 years of marriage and 4 years of being in this house is beyond me... haha.)

So...... Now that you know my life story... ON WITH THE SHOW!!!

(ps, we shouldn't have any more "missing day" disturbances like this, as the house is pretty show ready now, and I won't be having to take whole entire days off to mad dash around the house and clean.)

[Brayden Green]

Shilyn, your pm to me seems cool. Just go with it and integrate it however you feel best with your character, and I'm fine with that. I trust you (as a person, I don't really trust Shilyn... lol) . And so the rest of you don't get jealous, I trust you too. <<Hands out participation trophies>>

Amnur shouts in glee as the monkey falls, and maintains the flank with Varian against the next foe. "It's like chopping gold from clay! Ahahaha!" his voice wild and exhilarated with battle-lust.
Attack&Damage: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 2 = 211d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 +2 damage.

Amnur strikes the new enemy, and does succint damage to this one as well. He is making a quite nice habit of chopping down ape men.

Oriandor - (noted on the no damage received. Nice!)

Over his shoulder, Oriandor yells at the half-elf, "Still only counts as one!". Now fed up with the beast assailing him, Oriandor ducks back a half-step, letting the apeman fill the void before stepping back in for a driving thrust.
Wakizashi attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage on a hit: [/dice]1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Confirm crit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Crit damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
"Take that you poor excuse for a circus act!"

The ape seems to take a load of damage under the brutal blow, and sways slightly, but then quickly regains itself to retaliate.

Shilyn lays in a daze as the magic flowing from the cube abruptly ends. Her eyes open and reaching up, she rubs her temples with long, slender fingertips. "Ow, my head hurts," she mutters as her begins to refocus, "ub whoa was that intense." Slowly, she gets to her feet, a bit unsteadily, reaching for her rapier. The rocks around her feet seem to be floating off the ground, rotating around her. Once she notices them, they drop to the ground.

Mylvie delays

Varian manuevers to flank with Amnur, and swing a broad hammer, but does not hit.

The ape man under seige from Amnur turns it's focus to him and shrieks loudly and tries to bludgeon him with his club. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 which hits for 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 damage. Extra FRENZY attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 doing an extra 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 . [ooc]Man, hero freaking ape men!. The ape/man seems to have expended all of its willpower, and puts it's hand on it's knees to rest after delivering the two blows.

Flori hits one of the ape men running into the foray with the same type of magic previously, hitting the aoe man and causing it to look around curiously... (4 damage)

Seeing their compatriot apeman shriek and jump into a frenzy, they do the same, and launch an attack at Ori and Amnur each. (one attack each, by each new figure).

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 In their haste, they miss.

Round 4 summary:

Ape man #2 takes 9 damage, Ape man 4 takes 8 damage, Ape man 3 takes 4 damage, Amnur takes 12 damage. Ape number 2 is fatigued, and loses dex bonus.

I have clarified which Ape is which on the map. Let's kill some more apey apes.

Round 5 in non-spoilered fashion, ready set go.

[Oriandor Coronalis]

Good luck with the housing; hope the first couple goes for it!

"Ha ha!" Time for the O Strike Combo! as Oriandor chants with his left hand to attune arcane ink into his rapier.

Spell Combat: Casting Defensively for arcane mark 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
And the combined shrieking off all the apemen causes the tiefling to botch the final words and the orange glow disappears from the rapier. Annoyed, Oriandor still finishes the strike with a single thrust yelling, "Stop this monkey business!"
Spellcombat melee attack: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 2 = 17
Damage on a hit: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

If the monkey is slain by the blow, Oriandor will 5' step into its square.

[Varian Amari]

there's a map? can I get a link to it please?

[Amnur Roanock]

@Varian - There's a link on GM Braydens 'stat bar' space. @GM - I hope you get that house taken care of quickly! Very exciting stuff. :)

Round 5
Amnur takes the beating with grunts and a sharp intakes of breath, letting it out in a hiss after the ape has worn itself out. He looks up at the tired ape next to him and whispers, "My turn." He jerks his axe high in a sudden motion, seeking to slam it back down to earth, and hopefully chopping the ape man down as he does do.

Attack & Damage: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 2 = 191d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

[Varian Amari]

Varian takes a step back and strikes at the ape man between him and Amnur.

to hit: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 2 = 16

dmg if hits: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

[Shilyn DeSable]

If it's any consolation Brayden, I don't trust Shi either ;)

Raising an eyebrow at the strange behavior of the rocks, she begins moving, pulling her rapier from its scabbard. Shilyn rushes to help the others on somewhat shakey legs as the last of the magic's after effects finally fades. "May only count as one.. but mine's bigger!" she yells at Oriandor. "After all," she continues with a grin, "size matters!"

Full round moving and drawing weapon.

[Varian Amari]

Varian half turns with a smile at Shilyn's comment as she approaches the combat, and waggles his lucerne hammer at her for a moment... "Tell me about it!" he says with a broad wink before turning his attention back to the apemen.

[Brayden Green]

Giving Flori and Mylvie some time to get in on the fun. Can someone shoot them a friendly message that we are back online?

I don't want to fill up 35% of our turns with "X person delays"

(Just as a point of throwing it out there... I have a friend that would step in in a seconds notice. He is already waiting for me to start a second game. He is the one that got me into PF, so he is solid. With our somewhat new decision to move and rent I haven't had the time to start a second online game up, so this group would be a good one for him to junp into. Not necessarily looking to kick anyone out, just don't want to have you guys getting out maneuvered. )

(sick baby over here. mucus coming out nostrils like a freaking garden hose... I swear, I need a freaking reality show because there is so much crap going on that I have to deal with lately... <<rolls eyes upwards at gloomy looking clouds constantly overhead>> )

[Shilyn DeSable]

You sure your not doing an Adventure Path module for real? Sounds like several missed reflex saves.. hah

[Flori]

Flori casts mage armor on herself, and moves closer to the melee.

Frickin' monkeys!

[Brayden Green]

Round 5

Amnur takes the beating with grunts and a sharp intakes of breath, letting it out in a hiss after the ape has worn itself out. He looks up at the tired ape next to him and whispers, "My turn." He jerks his axe high in a sudden motion, seeking to slam it back down to earth, and hopefully chopping the ape man down as he does do.

Attack & Damage: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 2 = 19 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

The axe does go back down to the earth - taking pieces of the ape man in its decent. The ape falls to the floor, clearly unconscious.

"Ha ha!" Time for the O Strike Combo! as Oriandor chants with his left hand to attune arcane ink into his rapier.

Spell Combat: Casting Defensively for arcane mark 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
And the combined shrieking off all the apemen causes the tiefling to botch the final words and the orange glow disappears from the rapier. Annoyed, Oriandor still finishes the strike with a single thrust yelling, "Stop this monkey business!"
Spellcombat melee attack: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 2 = 17
Damage on a hit: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The monkey takes damage.

Mylvie delays

Raising an eyebrow at the strange behavior of the rocks, she begins moving, pulling her rapier from its scabbard. Shilyn rushes to help the others on somewhat shakey legs as the last of the magic's after effects finally fades. "May only count as one.. but mine's bigger!" she yells at Oriandor. "After all," she continues with a grin, "size matters!"

Full round moving and drawing weapon.

Varian takes a step back and strikes at the ape man between him and Amnur.

to hit: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 2 = 16

dmg if hits: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

He hits for damage.

Flori casts mage armour on herself.

Ape men #3 strikes at Varian with reckless abandon.
club attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 if hit damage 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
extra FRENZY attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 if hit damage 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Both attacks miss.

Ape men #4 attacks Oriandor with reckless abandon.
club attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 if hit damage 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
extra FRENZY attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 if hit damage 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Both these attacks miss as well.

Round 5 summary: Monkey 2 falls, monkey 3 takes damage.

Round 6 is all go for takeoff.

[Varian Amari]

Varian backs up and attacks at the nearest apeman, hopefully with flank... maneuvering to get flank if possible/necessary.

to hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 +2 for 14 if flank

dmg if hits: 1d12 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

[Shilyn DeSable]

Reaching Varian's side, she looks for her opening then drives her rapier toward the ape on his left.

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
damage if flanked: 1d6 ⇒ 2

[Amnur Roanock]

Amnur trudges to the next ape creature, raising tiring arms to strike at the next enemy.

5' step if needed to flank.

Attack & Damag: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 = 161d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

[Mylvwara Elberion]

I send an acid dart toward Oriandor's foe

touch attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
acid damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

[Flori]

I'll step up and give Oriandor a touch of rage (+1 to hit, +1 damage), and draw my falchion.

[Oriandor Coronalis]

With the tap from Flori, his abyssal blood begins to boil on the inside; eyes glowing red, his voice drops two octaves as he once again starts chanting.

Concentration check to cast defensively: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

His rapier now glowing with red arcane ink, Oriandor aims to inject it into the ape in a circular fashion and follows up with a driving thrust.

Arcane Mark-spellstrike: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Damage on a hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Melee attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Damage on a hit: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

[Brayden Green]

Amnur hits, everyone else misses.

Both ape men lower their shoulders and appear to be fatigued.

DO YOUR WORST!!!

ROund 6. Finish HIM/HER/IT!

[Varian Amari]

to hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

ouch, that sucked, the dice roller hates me

Varian attacks and misses... again...

[Amnur Roanock]

"Why don't you things just DIE!" Amnur bellows, punctuating his shout with a hack of his waraxe. He must really be tiring, as his swing does not have much precision to it.

Attack & Damage: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 141d10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

[Mylvwara Elberion]

I step closer and aim another dart

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

[Flori]

Seeing her friends in trouble, Flori's anger takes over and she runs right up and takes a swing, herself.

atk: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

dmg: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2) + 3 = 9

crit confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

dmg: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1) + 3 = 7

Die, you nasty monkey! Don't you dare get blood on my outfit!

[Varian Amari]

oooh, nice crit, Flori!!

[Flori]

Varian Amari wrote:

oooh, nice crit, Flori!!

tee hee!

[Shilyn DeSable]

Shilyn works her way to the left, trying to stay on the thing's flank. Even though it appears winded, she's not about to take a chance as she thrusts her rapier at the ape's chest.

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

confirm crit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
crit damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

damage if flanked: 1d6 ⇒ 3

With a twist of her wrist, she pulls the blade from the ape and plans her next attack.

[Brayden Green]

Flori wrote:

Varian Amari wrote:

tee hee!

Sorry to be the killjoy, but no crit... party OVER!

(Shilyns does crit though...)

[Brayden Green]

Quite a rapid dispatching of the remaining ape men ensues as a combination of Amnur chopping downwards, Shilyn stabbing directly in the neck from behind to the two ape men, and from the other direction Mylvie sends an acid attack that does some damage and Flori finishes off the other one with a surprisingly viscous attack. The attack unfortunately does get blood on her outfit. A lot.

[Brayden Green]

Seeing their champion defeated, and the breach being heavily swarmed to with reinforcements, the remaining ape men flee back into the jungle with stunned looks on their faces, to a whoop of cheering from the pathfinders in the camp.

Juliet Dias strides up to you, and asks you to check the outer edges to make sure there are no other breaches (there aren't) and then to check back with her to give a report of what you found and exactly "what in blazes happened" as she terms it.

End mission. Though I *do* like the inevitable banter, so that should certainly continue, as well as anything else your character wants to do or so in this miserable sweaty place.

[Varian Amari]

"WHat in blazes just happened is a good question... I'm a little fuzzy on all the details myself.. except that we seem to have prevailed and driven off the apemen, but I guess that was already evident."

Varian turns to the others with a questioning look, especially to Shi... "Care to explain what happened back there, and it's good to see you all, you know... conscious... again."

[Shilyn DeSable]

Watching the ape fall as her rapier pulls clear of it's neck, Shilyn can't help herself as she says, "That's two" She smiles a bit as the other ape drops. Catching her breath, she walks past the apes and sees that one is still breathing. Pulling her dagger, she drives it deep into the side of its neck and rips the blade forward slicing its throat. "and.. three."

Ooops, someone left one 'clearly unconcious'. Hey, I'm a rogue.. kill stealing is still stealing stuff right? :)

Standing from her grizzly work, she walks over to the others and looks at Varian. "To be honest.. I'm not sure what happened. I took the cube from Amnur and next thing you know.. I'm laying there on the ground getting dirt in my hair (which needs to be washed by the way) and somehow in control of this big monolith thing."

Casting a glance to Mylvwara, she continues with a shrug, "Maybe Mylv can shed some light on it.. after all, she knows more about this than I do."

[Flori]

Flori looks at her bloody, sweaty clothes and casts prestidigitation.

Eww! Monkey guts! Gross!

As the spell begins to clean her up, she looks at her companions.

Anyone else need a touch-up?

She pulls out her mirror and messes with her hair. How can a gal look her best in this humidity? It's murder on my hairstyle.

[Shilyn DeSable]

Swiping her hands over her thighs, Shilyn tries to get as much blood off of them as she can. Casting a grin at Flori she laughs, "What's a little blood and guts among friends eh?" she asks as she wipes her face with a forearm. "It's all good."
