[PFS/DMK] 5-06 You have what you hold (Inactive)

Game Master Kludde

Since the player for Anail is out on holiday, Anail will return and report on what he's seen.

Time for intermission RP then!

Dhastrach sighs heavily at Brewslee's proposal. "You know, we werre supposed to prretend to be unqualified drrunk baffoonss, but you have obviously taken yourr devotion to playing out the rrole to the fullest," the dwarf snarls in ire, and takes the flask only to throw it away with his divine magic (hand of the acolyte!) into the river.

"Ourr mission involvess taking down rruffianss who've assaulted ourr colleaguess. Now demonstrrate some of yourr trransitorrily misplaced prrofessionalism and clearr yourr sensess!"

Ackuda watches Dhastrach's outburst, and a chuckle follows. "Reading books must be very quick for you, Dhastrach. You only seem to read the covers." he says. He reaches into his pack and pulls out a flask of his own and offers it to Brewslee.

Brewslee smiles at Dhastrach as he grabs a new flask from his belt and unscrews the cap taking a large drink.

Dhastrach harumphs at Ackuda. "I haven't seen him soberr on this entirre trrip, he must've borrn with a flask on hiss lipss!" he rants before turning to face the river.

Enjoying the roleplaying, but let's keep it friendly and non-PvP. Anail's player was fine with moving things forward, so as not to stall things.

Miyako doesn't really get what the fuss is about, but she does agree with the direct approach that was mentioned. "I'll shoot one right away!"

She nocks an arrow and pulls the string of her longbow back, then aims at the nearest guard before releasing her arrow.

Arrow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Can you tell me how you want to approach before you start firing? Do you want to fire from the barge you're on?

"The eagle man had to alert the other brigands anyway and they are surely waiting for us," the Kellid says. "If they see us coming they will shoot at us. Are you still able to conjure a mist like you did before?" she asks Ackuda. "It could help us against the arrows."

@GM: Yes please. I suspect they'll otherwise see me before I get a chance to fire a surprise shot.

Ackuda opens one of his scroll cases, and cackles. "No more mists in the tube!" he says. "But, if I can get within a hundred and forty feet of them I can try to blind them."

As more than one hour has probably elapsed, Belka activates her wand of protection once again.

Wand of Mage Armor 1 charge

Dhastrach takes out his warhammer, sighing to Miyako's impatience.

surprise round action: draw weapon

Surprise round

Brewslee snaps his wand from it's sheath as he taps it against his arm. Nothing happens. Wand musht be broken again.

UMD: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Round 1

The monk continues to tap his wand against his arm. This time armor envelops him with a small burst of light.

UMD: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Wand of Mage Armor

Ackuda draws a pinch of some sparkling powder from his spell component pouch and throws it into the air towards the dock. He mutters an arcane phrase and the powder bursts with light and settles over the two sentries.

Cast Glitterdust on the two sentries, DC 18 will

The party is quick to react, and even before Miyako releases her arrow, Dhastrach is armed and ready, Belka has her protection up, Brewslee... who know what he is doing, and Ackuda fills the air with golden dust, blinding one of the sailors.

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Can somebody post an action for Anail, since the player is out-of-town?

Only Anáil's surprise round for now?

Anáil draws his rapier while the others also prepare for combat.

Feel free to also post an action for Anail for the regular round. I doubt it'll take us two days to resolve.

Dhastrach waits for the barge to close in. Meanwhile, he speaks a short prayer.

"May Nethys impose destruction upon our foes."

Bless for everyone.

Ackuda pulls another scroll from a scroll tube and speaks the completing phrase, causing a matrix of force to appear around him before fading.

Use Scroll of Mage Armor

Belka draws her longbow and shoots an arrow at the wounded sailor.

Longbow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Ackuda and Dhastrach prepare for the upcoming onslaught, while Belka finishes the wounded sailor with an arrow to the chest.

Can I get an action for Anail?

Anáil doesn't have that bow. He really, REALLY needs to remember and buy one next time!

Anáil waits for the barge to reach shore. Until then, he stays alert for possible arrows. Total defense, can't think of anything else.

He could've just picked one up from the downed fighters...

The sailor, blinded, only shouts for help.

"Can't this thing go any faster?" Ackuda mumbles as he draws and loads his crossbow.

Miyako shoots an arrow at the blinded sailor. "It's raining pointy stuff!"

Arrow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Miyako adds to the screams as she plants an arrow in the blinded sailor, while Ackuda calmly reloads

The boat will arrive next round...

Remember Bless, people!

Dhastrach assumes the sailor is not alone, and the team might meet powerful forces soon, including the druid that escaped the battle on the barge. Determined that Brewslee will be reckless no matter what, Dhastrach might add to that just the same. He goes over to the drunk man and grasps Brewslee's bicep. The monk can feel his muscles tightening.

"There's a lifetime's supply of rum in that building," Dhastrach says to Brewslee. Although he's not a very convincing liar, he figures Brewslee won't care.

Bull's strength on Brewslee

Belka shoots a new arrow at the remaining sailor, hoping to kill him before he raises the alarm.

Longbow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Dhastrach strengthens Brewslee, while Belka takes out the last of the sailors, but not before he can raise a ruckus.

This part of combat over...

It takes another round to arrive at the dock, and a second one to move over to the door.

Belka straps her bow to her back and grabs her greataxe. When she arrives at the door, she casts a protection spell on herself.

Round 1: strap bow and draw greataxe
Round 2: move 8 squares and cast Shield

Round 1:
Miyako puts her longbow away and casts guidance on herself.

Round 2:
As soon as the party arrives at the docks, Miyako double moves up to the building's door while drawing her rapier.

Ackuda advances behind the others, his crossbow at the ready, though he spends half his time aiming it up or in the wrong direction.

Brewslee smiles at Dhastrach. But I don't drink.....Perhapsh it would improve crew morale

Brewslee hops up onto the dock drawing his temple sword.

Round 1: waits
Round 2: move 4 squares and ready an action to throw warhammer with hand of the acolyte

Dhastrach moves forward once the barge comes ashore and disembarks, ready to launch his weapon to an unsuspecting foe.

Theparty moves ashore, and just as Miyako steps close to the door, it swing open, revealing an angry mob of pirates.

Dhastrach begins casting again, this time shoving Anáil away so he can reach every fellow agent. Basically a ready action 5ft-step + spell casting. I changed placed with Anáil on the map.

"Evil bewarre, thwarrted arre thy actionss."

Communal Protection from Evil, nicely 6 PCs (everyone), 1 minute duration each. So now everyone has Bless for over 5 minutes and Protection from Evil for 1 minute. Brewslee has Bull's Strength for over 5 minutes.

Belka steps forward and takes up a defensive posture near Miyako. "Get out of your rat hole, you cowards!" she yells.

Total defense

Miyako steps up to the enemy in the door opening and attempts to poke him with her rapier.

+1 Adamantine Rapier: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Confirm crit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

I'm back. Sorry for the disturbance, and thanks for playing my character in my absence!

Seeing that Miyako and his companions have things well in hand, Anáil swiftly moves around the house, towards the back door, drawing his rapier as he runs like the wind.

"I'll prevent them from running away."

In other words, since we have so many frontliners, it's a bit pointless to remain there, so I'll make myself useful. Don't worry, I won't open the door and start another encounter at the same time!

Brewslee stumbles into the room, slamming right through the pirates.

Provoke 3 AoO

AoO Panther Style reaction strike: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 9

Once in the room Brewslee slashes at the southern pirate as he falls into the nearby chair.

Temple Sword: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 9
damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 = 13

Dhastrach blesses the group as Anail runs around the back, Miyako stabs the enemy in the doorway, Belka braces for impact and Brewslee blunders in through the pirates

AoO, fighter: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
AoO, Sailor: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
AoO, fighter: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 2 = 20

Ackuda moves up to the door and starts to cast a spell on Brewslee.

Start casting Enlarge Person

Oh dear a large drunk man in a china shop

Enlarge takes effect of Ackuda's turn next round

The sailor steps in of Brewslee, and focus their attacks on him, but the feeble men cannot penetrate the drunk's defences.

Scimitar, Brewslee: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Scimitar, Brewslee: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 = 5

The fighters also concentrate their blows on the drunken master

Cestus, Brewslee, Flanking: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 2 = 221d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Confirm Cestus, Brewslee, Flanking: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 111d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The final fighter tries to keep the rest of the pathfinders out

Shotel, Miyako: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Cestus, Miyako: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

The leader weaves a spell, and target Miyako. A wave of fear washes over her.

Will save vs DC 14 or be frightened (otherwise shaken)

Anáil reaches the back door, and prepares himself to strike should an enemy open the door.

Ackuda's spell completes and the Monk grows in size! The Witch then steps back from the door, drops his crossbow and draws a dagger.

Brewslee rolls into the table moving it a few inches in a drunken stupor as he is not used to his enlarged size. Provoke the 4 southern sailors

AoO Panther Style reaction strike: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 25
