infiltrate the ape city

i hope i can stay awake for it

yes basically

I foresee this being a bit of a short session?

I only have one 'battle' planmed so yes sort of

also the ape city is much further south
let's not go there

okay sure

it's awful

Although this is fairly open ended so lets go ahead and see what happens in...
Session...6!
yes session 6
Currently, the party has set camp for the night, after beating up some Churr and meeting some fancy dragoon.
Their name is Athard, and their steed is Sir Corgus, famous knight.

CAW!!

They are on a mission to retrieve a wand of great power, which is currently in possesion of a tribe of Churr.

taka, shush! it's nighttime

And you have been asked to help.

CAAAAAW!!

Athard lays out plans to scout the area in the morning, and asks who is best for such a scouting job,

CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!!!!

Is that...a yes?

tembo..."him"

yes
yes it is

Sir Corgus barks in agreement.

whoops

I'll stop with the Caws now

So!

onward to...STEALTH

In the morning, Takaanu and Sir Corgus team up to scout the occupied camp of Churr.
Here is what you have found...

this is a camp???
this is the ape city

The camp is surrounded by some solid walls. Seems this was once a bandit camp, but it was raided and occupied by this group of Churr.

someone call for Dorcas

One very large building is apparent.
This area here.

prefab stone fort

the Churr paid for the microtransactions

From here, some walls extend, surrounding smaller buildings inside the walls.
There are some large archery towers, from which Churr keep watch.
Seems charging in won't be the wisest option.
But then. It is an option.

I notice that the upper-right area is not well watched

The large building, Athard theorises, is probably where the leader is residing.
And they likely possess the other half of the wand.

did anyone ask what the wands do once together?

As well as an entrance from the outside, which is very well guarded, there is probably an entrance inside the walls.
No one did, no.

Takaanu will probably ask that

Would you like to ask?

he's a curious bird

"The wands powers are quite vast. Primarliy, I've been told that it is Transmutation based, it can allow the user to assume the 'perfect form'.
"Of course, the wand was split in half. Its power has become more unpredictable than that."

"Huh"
"Why Churr not put wand together?"
"They had pieces"

"As for whether these foolish apes are aware of this, I am not sure."

"What happen to wand after retrieved?"

"I know their leader possessed one part of the wand."
"The pack we intercepted found the other."
"But I don't think they were able to report that information."
"My client needs both halves, though."

"Client confidential?"

"They are a mage in the city of Kargarthr. They are well known, and also the creator of the wand."
"I trust him."

"Okay"
good enough for Takaanu

"He made the decision to split the wand for it's transport from one city to another..."
"I guess it was less dangerous that way."

"Bark."

"Yes. That didn't work out so well."

"Mage good with divination?"

"Hmm. I am unsure. Not much of a magic user, myself."
"I can certainly ask for you, though."

"That would be appreciated"

In any case, we gotta inflitrate this base.
Any ideas?

any windows?

The walls are pretty solid. About 10 ft high.

I can jump stupidly high but it won't matter if I can't get the rest of the party in
how tall are the towers?

They stand twice as tall as the walls, so about 20ft up.
Each seems to have a constant guard watching.

(why do the ones on the towers have red dots on them)

These indicate elevated peeps.

so if I get on the wall I can jump again up to the tower

I thought it might make some things clearer.

thought so

It's possible. You have some fancy new shoes, yes?

those watchapes gotta go
did I get the shoes?
oh look at that
I need to put them in my sheet

I assumed you did. They;re in the bag, but you can take them if you like.
Harika, what are your thoughts?

am i here?

No one is quite here yet, I'm letting you decide the point of entry.
This is your 'scout report' so to speak

ok
well personally I think that this should happen at night
assuming they maintain a night watch, takaanu could sneak up to the walls, scale the towers, and eliminate the archers

I could certainly do that

An interesting idea, yes.

if he fails to do this sufficiently stealthily, it'll still cause a distraction

I also have the devil piss molotovs
if you really need a distraction

then the rest of us can get to a wall away from the commotion, and use manu's soften earth spell to dig a tunnel under the wall

Oh yes. That's what we called those.
Sounds like a plan.

which tower you want me to take out first?

"This sounds good. I shall watch from the nearby cliff. Sir Corgus will accompany you, and make sure you are safe when you enter."

those ones

"When the combat starts, I will step in and assist."

okay
the ones at the big entrance?

yeah

it shall be done

we'll come in from the northeast

Which one are you going to attack first?
There are five towers in total.

bottom right

Hmm. Interesting.

or is that just right?
I would've thought to take out the far guy first

Alright. You wait for nightfall.

here we go
hope they don't have LLV

Takaanu will sneak in, with the rest of the gang hiding nearby.
Time to roll that stealth.

Takaanu:	Stealth

I feel that is insufficient

Okay, you're safe so far.

So will it be a lethal attack?

nonlethal, most likely

I have no idea how this plays out, so let's just make it up.
Roll...attack.

So yes, you're on a guard tower, there's another across from you.

Okay, you're on the roof of the building.

excellent
I am going to scout the camp a little bit
then take out the last guard
or should I get the guard first?

Okay then, you move left and scout some more.

it's a shame we don't have walkie-talkies

we can speak in code
CAW is hello, CAAW is help, CAAAW is this way
and so on
they'll never know

Looks like this camp has three smaller buildings.
The top left one has some lights on inside.
There's quite a bit of noise coming from it too.

what is the roof made of?

Like, stone, probably.

hmmm
lets deal with the guard

The left tower, yes?

yeah
here we go again?

oh so is that entire northeast section a building?

You silently drop down...

I have so much Ki to spare
hello?

okay, that's good.
pretty close, though.

I thought I disconnected for a second

i had to pee.

oh okay
I hope I'm not boring Harika

Metal Gear Tengu up in here.

and/or Moop

Three of the guards are unconcious.
What's next?

I'm not sure
I've done what Harika wanted

Harika seemed to have a plan.

so I guess she does something?
I could toss a devil piss molotov

She is waiting in the sidelines with the rest of the gange.
sans Athard, who is waiting elsewhere.

you think I could toss something out to that giant ape?
from this height?
I feel like it'd be a longshot

The building is blocking line of sight, so he has cover.
Also, your stealth will be shot immediately.

I could arc it up high
then hide before it lands

It's an option, for sure.

they won't know where it came from

We should wait for Harika's input.

logically yes
but it is tempting

Although technically Harika has no influence on you right now.

that is true

She ain't psychic.

if I'm going to do it, I should find a good place for it
and not just in the middle of apetown
what if
I could trick the guards into searching away from the camp

Another idea.

or if I started a fire
and they had to go put it out
uh oh
moop vanished
welp, its the Takaanu show here

Solo run dnd
speedrun tomb of horrors

gotta hold the fort until she gets back
he
harika
confusion

gender is made up anyway

right so

we'll just wait i guess

this is a lot of foliage to the north, ye?

yep. should provide coverage.

or a lot of smoke
or, another idea
I could just get a god damn rope and pull people over the wall
then distract the front entrance

Another idea!
You're full of 'em.

I think Mopp crashed or something
he's not online

Possibly restarting...
I'd like his input before we move on...

I would too

2 people seems like an acceptable minimum.

but Takaanu, while not impatient, is somewhat of a wild card

I'd reccommend getting the whole gang in before alerting the apes in any way.
Don't forget Manu's stone spell.

I've nearly used half my Ki already
I would like to avoid having to take out more guards

It was well used, I'm sure.

I really like having a ki pool

Do note, the walls here do attach to the big building.

of course

Of course, the point where they meet is solid wall.
sigh....
this seems appropriate a song

:/
we could just play Takaanu's theme

did you have a theme

I thought I did

ill just play metal gear music?
seems appropriate

fine by me

takaanu climbs a rope for 5 minutes

you say that but I don't think I have rope
I'll just hide under a box

sir corgus is never unprepared
im sure he has rope
mopp mentioned something about 'being able to stay awake' right

I think so

but then, his computer would stay connected, surely

but that wouldn't explain him just going offline

hrm.

he returns

hoi

alright who died

me
I'm dead

ok

I'm now a ghost
don't worry I'm still stealthy
so what do you want to do?

oh literally nothing happened
you waited for me ; 3;
and my shitty laptop

yeah I'm still up here
just sorta chillin
bird things

we're down to two people so waiting seemed. fair.

ya dig?

ok um

taka took out the north guard
so what's next

devil piss

i'd say run around the wall to here

ping again?

and throw the bombs south

okay
I'm on my way

just a reminder, the buildings contain additional apes

you guys need a rope?
I could probably just get you guys over a wall

maybe
yeah do that

I mean I'm not strong but I can tie a knot
anyone have any rope?

and manu will stay with the animals and try to dig underneath the wall

cool

time to check who brought rope

"I can fly, though."
"Just sayin'."

not me I know, I experience brain fade at the gear stage

"bark."

"sure YOU can, but what about your poor dinosaur? or my elephant?"

Sir Corgus has some rope in his mouth."

"oh thank you!"

when we get to town I'm buying some rope

so I'll scoot over and try to toss the rope up the wall

I'll eventually learn what gear to buy

dash back on over here please taka

"I guess so...How will we get the animals in, if at all?"

burrow
right so
I catch the rope?
I guess?

You sure do.

hold on

right

oh ok
he does it for me

I tie it to a wall?

tie it to say uh
hm

I don't know if these walls have crenelations

what wall things exist

if they do that'd be sweet

walls exist. i can say that for sure.

do these walls have crenelations?

do you have anything you can use as a piton?

they do not, but you find a support to tie it to.

taka
oh ok

oh good
tied up and ready

i would give it your own support though.

good thing to, my Str sucks
uhhhhhhhhhh

time to put your str to the test.

I tie it to two supports

the fated double tie!
Still, though, roll strength.
it'll be fun.

oh dear

alright get us on this map buddy

Takaanu:	Strength

I don't actually know my own weight...

i made it

These two fly up.

dino?

good the fliers

I lack a pulley system

next is lux
and all his weapons

oh god lux
he's not getting up
Harika halp

he got up

he did?

we're all here it's fine

well then
good job us

Corgus leaps up. Holy shit.

wow

secretly a monk

now manu goes back down to work on digging inside
over here

I should
make a distraction first

Is that how you want him using that spell?

yes
if he has any other more useful options please let me know
i know soften earth will literally do that
and basically kill us all in a pit of quicksand
if it comes down to it tembo and kahena can just do it their own damn selves

Okay, then, you can use it to get the other two inside.

tha'ts very kind of you

okay

but after taka's distracted the guys up front

so I'm going to toss a molotov

That said, it is used up at that point.

at the big ape specifically

There are many of those.

huh ok

That's how we do this, then.
Fun.

so I can light a molotov as a full round action
then throw as a standard

you don't _sound_ fun
Takaanu lights the wick on one of his molotovs

here we goooo

You are spotted by some apes.

alright then

Meanwhile, Manu and the gang have burrowed in with Manu's earth spell.
They are here now.
The others are on the top wall.
Let's see what they do first.

your time is now
go friends

i didn't plan this far

rush the building

yeah

actually take it a bit slowly
let them get to me first

let's hop down here
yes good
encircle them

The top gang move up topside.
A noise is heard...

oops

What's Taka doing?

uhhh
is it my turn again?

yep

full attack on the fool in the tower
he's peaking over, just asking to get shuriken'd

I'll warn you, that's a weird angle.
He has cover.

10 feet up right?

yeah dont throw shurikens upward

at a 45 degree angle
I can throw them 20 feet without penalty

huh
time to calculate a triangle, streak

The tower has walls around it, though, so it'll be a tough shot.
You can try, though.

I just need to be a distraction

One big ape is trying to extinguish the other.

oh boy

he might get himself set on fire too
it ain't no ordinary fire
or is it?
perhaps it is not

Apes are on the move...

STRANGE ISN'T IT

Back to the gang.

so foes this ruckus with taka count against me trying to fascinate these two clowns near me

fascinate how

the Bard performance Fascinate
it does fascinating things

"At 1st level, a bard can use his performance to cause one or more creatures to become fascinated with him. Each creature to be fascinated must be within 90 feet, able to see and hear the bard, and capable of paying attention to him. The bard must also be able to see the creatures affected. The Distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers prevents the ability from working."

give it a shot, if you like.

OK

the apes get a will save to resist

i'll mosey on over here and do a Sexy Dance for them

shake those hips

i don't actually know what I roll for this
it should say somewhere...

Performance I guess

you don't roll, actually
its a will save for them specifically

oh
vs what?

one moment
DC 10 + 1/2 the bard’s level + the bard’s Cha modifier
its a section right under Fascinate

ok
so 18

but it is its own paragraph

rolling 1d20+8 = 2+8 = 10
rolling 1d20+8 = 20+8 = 28

one is down the other is NOT fooled

the main question is...
does he care that its a ruse?
he could very well watch anyways

One is entranced with your twerking, the other is mostly confused by it.
It approaches, you, weapon drawn.

"oh well, can't appeal to everyone"
so when do we actually enter combat

We sort of have already but unofficially.
This is a weird situation.

I guess I'll go again?

We'll go back to Taka now.

Dazzling blade makes a weapon appear dazzlingly shiny, as if crafted from pure silver and heavily polished. In combat, the flashing movements of a dazzling blade become almost hypnotic. The wielder of a weapon under the effects of dazzling blade gains a +1 competence bonus on all Bluff checks made to feint in combat. The wielder also gains a +1 competence bonus on all CMB checks made to disarm a foe, and a +1 competence bonus to his CMD against disarm attempts made against the weapon bearing the dazzling blade effect. This bonus increases by +1 for every 3 caster levels, to a maximum bonus of +5 at 12th level.
The wielder of a dazzling blade can discharge the spell into a blinding burst of silvery light as a free action. The wielder selects an adjacent opponent as the focal point of this burst of light-that creature must make a Will save to avoid being blinded for 1 round (with a successful save, the creature is instead dazzled for 1 round).
Despite its shiny appearance, a dazzling blade grants no extra benefit against creatures that are vulnerable to silver.

Original spell level:	cleric/oracle 1, druid 1, sorcerer/wizard 1
This spell causes a metal object to instantly become red hot. A creature holding the item may attempt a Reflex save to drop it and take no damage (even if it is not their turn), otherwise the hot metal deals 1d4 points of fire damage per caster level (maximum 5d4). Circumstances that prevent the creature from dropping the item (such as a locked gauntlet) mean the creature gets no saving throw. The heat does not harm the item, and it does not get hot enough or last long enough to ignite flammable objects. The item cools to its previous temperature almost instantly. If cast underwater, burning disarm deals half damage and boils the surrounding water.

THIS is what I wanted
casting this on sword guy

well then

rolling 1d20+7 = 11+7 = 18

i did fail the caster check though

did you need to succeed it?

is that a thing

it doesn't matter if there is no SR

oh ok

in any case, he drops his hot weapon

oh wait
it's yes (object)

the object is not magical

right
now tembo comes in

This clanging drop of the sword seems to snap his friend out of it.

the spell works, he just avoids damage

to smack him
also tembo being in the way would do it :v

Tembo charges!

Cutting it very close there.

hnnnng
that is probably my full action?

It is.

is he climbing up after me?

Seems to be.
Looks like that ape isn't on fire now, but he's looking a little worse off for it.
His helper took some damage too.
We're back to the gang.

Hmm...

and then will attempt to trip him

Go ahead.

Harika Atesh:	CMB
Check:

Not quite.

assuming this is how it works
oh no!
I drop my sword
instead of getting AOO'd I think

Alright.

oh no
it's going prone
he still gets an AOO

you get a bonus
for using a trip weapon
did you include that?
its a +2

yeah the bonus is I drop it on faiilur instead of going prone
that's it
isn't it?

the Trip special feature

then he tries to attack you

is a +2

never mind

rolling 1d20+8 = 11+8 = 19

the weapon itself is special itself
and has the dropping thing added on

oh that hits

rolling 1d6+5 = 5+5 = 10
Owch!

:(

uh oh

The other ape attacks Tembo.
rolling 1d20+8 = 14+8 = 22

tembo ain't had his turn yet
not that we're
having turns

Then Tembo can go first.

Well dang.
He'll try attacking for real now
rolling 1d20+8 = 3+8 = 11

he's unnarmed
he triggers an AoO

he's a churr they have natural attacks

do they?

all this weaponizing streak's done
is very outside the norm

They do.

oh
carry on

The Churr misses.

also yesha
yeah

Just then, a spear pierces the Churr next to Harika.

"thanks for the save!"
Harika Atesh picks up her sword

"Guess stealth is out the window."

its still in the building
don't worry

"hey, we tried! we've never done this sorta thing before!"

excuse me its going great

"Clearly."

the other group has been uncontested
this is exactly as planned

did sir corgus just fillet that big one

Taka's up.

who's threatening me right now
show of hands

The ape next to you.

what of the one down below?

The big one is still too low down.

okay
Takaanu cracks his knuckles

Bull Rush on this top ape

To...where

off
or is the wall too high for that

Well, good luck with htat.
It's low enough.

I wanted to be able to push him off then move again
standard to move
ah screw it

wouldnt the standard be the bull rushing

yes
the Move is me jumping
but it would be easier to just throw a shuriken to his face and then move
actually both work
lets give it a shot

Takaanu:	CMB
Check:
7

he gets an AoO

rolling 1d20+8 = 19+8 = 27

he hits

rolling 1d6+5 = 1+5 = 6

cool
now that's his AoO out of the way
I leap to the other tower

Takaanu:	Acrobatics
Check

dramatic

um excuse you
what are you doing

We're gonna freezeframe you in mid-air, for dramatic effect.

don't make me worry like that

Sir Corgus sniffs a path forward.
Looks like an entrance.

go forth, to victory

Apes move...
Back to Harika and friends.
You have one more ape on your hands.

Pulverised.

"Your strength is admirable, tiny elephant."
Tembo trumpets happily

"Believe in your power, and your strength shall bring change."

change we can alll believe in

He removes his spear from the chest of the dead ape.

"alright, so the rest of the gang are storming the castle it seems"
Takaanu lets out an "eagle screech" mid jump

"What would you like to do next?"

"want to go help taka out or look in this hut?"

"Our main target is in sight. Taka seems capable by himself."

"actually, tembo, stay out here and honk if taka's in trouble, okay?"

"Although I do worry that he is getting cocky."

we'll go inside

I'm almost done here

Wait, in here?

do you want to join the rest of the team?

leave it alone we can look later
it probably has More Apes

Athard thinks so, yes.

okeydokey

We turn our cool slo-mo cam to Taka, who is in midair.
And he sticks the landing.

okay so
time to get a bit crazier

oh dear
I cannot stay up here then
10 damage...
it takes a lot more than 10 damage to take these guys down

Sure does.

5-foot step as well
so I'm here

Alrighty.

where are _you_ going

I am going
to fly

i meant that one bugger down right

oh
probably warning the others

The ape near Taka will attack.
rolling 1d20+7 = 9+7 = 16

not enough
thankfully

rolling 1d20+7 = 7+7 = 14

still no

Looks like nothing.
Takaanu hands the ape a grade sheet. It has a big F on it

It's strange. These apes handle their weapons quite awkwardly, you observe.

huh

pretty sure that archer just tossed his bow down to scratch you

They're certainly trying, but they aren't trained, that's for sure.

very interesting

We return to the gang, reunited.

pile inside the big place!

one tile wide hallways
memories of old FE games

move up, sir corgus!

the nightmares...

Single file, please.
Wot's all this, then?

this is where a one-tile-wide map attack is useful

This is a large hall, with beautiful wood adorning the walls.
Some apes mill around, including one large important looking one.

we probably should have tried diplomacy
oh well

We'll actually roll init next turn, but for now, let's see what Taka's doing.

right so
Acrobatics to avoid the AoO

Takaanu:	Acrobatics
Check
15
+6 to jumps

you've got to be kidding me

Where are you off to?

give the gm a break

down south
I want to jump

..Off the tower?

and try to glide

Are you capable of gliding?

DC 15
and yes

rolling 1d20+7 = 20+7 = 27
rolling 1d20+7 = 3+7 = 10

fffffucking hell I'm glad that didn't confirm

rolling 1d6+5 = 5+5 = 10
10 damage, and your movement is interrupted.

ffffffuck
I'm at 17
I can't stick around
I still have a standard

I'll give you a choice here. You can continue to move, and roll acro to right yourself for the glide, or stay put.

if I stay that big ape could one-shot me with help
if I were at full I'd stay put
I can't afford to do that anymore

Takaanu:	Acrobatics
Check
25
+6 to jumps

That's a pass.

and now to actually attempt the glide

Takaanu:	Fly
Check
19

phew

good thing you didn't fall to your death

okay
I'm gliding

Woosh.

if I fell I could just tumble
I just want the extra distance

glide off the map
clip through to our location
Takaanu lets out another caw as he takes to the skies...sort of

strictly no clipping.

Hopefully these apes chase after me
I outpace them on the ground

So where are you moving to?

just
south
as far as my glide can take me

Alright then.

preferably not in range of the apes

Time to roll initiative.

time to add more space to the map

horribly so

sorry I thought that was irl

and I don't have the health to maintain this

you did great

thank you

rolling 1d20+2 = 6+2 = 8

good luck in this fight

Okay then.
Manu's on the menu.
How do I use this fucker

cast Call Lightning
and just bolt an ape

we could wait for another day
it is 3am

or use the thunder cloud
also it is a bit late
or early, in Moop's case

We could, but let's resolve one turn first.

okay

move up and heal myself
i wonder if I have a potion

I feel like I gave you one at the start.
A CMW?

there is one in the Frac Sack as well

well I can't get that out now
also is anyone else here hurting?

Pavane, if you can't get a potion
I'm the only one who got hit
other than you

ok
i'll use a spell
pavane is a FRA
rolling 1d8 = 6 = 6
plus caster level which is uh

6

really?!
ok

well, yes

6+5 is enough

most classes use their class level

back to full!

paladins and rangers are a notable exception

And Tembo?

there

Taka...

he's just runnin
so far away

You've glided to land now, and apes are in pursuit.

okay
well
I have a standard I can use

Given that I'm out of map, this will all be in our minds.

yeah sure
my base speed if 50 feet
*i
*is
what is the ape's?

Apes are 30ft.

okay so
I can stay out of their range indefinitely
taunting them

what if they run

I can run
I'll start with that, see what they do

i guess this is off map

full round run
weeee
yeah this is all the way off the map

so they can't be "next to you"

I pissed off a lot of apes

Looks like a number of them run after you. Some stay behind and fire arrows.

is the one he hit with the bottle still on fire?

he got put out

But the range is significant, and they miss.

dangit

I could prepare another molotov once they start to give up
I've got 9 more

Athard moves up.

"You! Churr. Give up the wand."
"I will use force."

maybe have Lux translate

Sir Corgus moves up as well, and threatens the ape.

"you don't want that, I've seen him ruin two people's day with that spear"

"[Foolish Knight! We will become the true form! You're too late!]"

huh
I guess lux hears that
athard prolly knows giant

The left ape will attack/
rolling 1d20+7 = 19+7 = 26
rolling 1d6+5 = 1+5 = 6
Take that, Kahena.

angry spinosaurus noises

This big guy does indeed have the wand.
Time to activate it.

oh boy

oh this is going to go horribly

"[No longer will we be confined! I will wait no more!!]"

"Idiot! Don't!"

if he didn't want to be confined he shouldn't have set up shop in a building with 1-tile wide exits

(... is he confined in this building because he's large and the doors are too small)
dammit taka

caw

Athard throws their spear...

gasp

but is it too late?

A flash of light engulfs the churr.

wtf
