Dalia quietly casts the cantrip read the air, before loudly clearing her throat.

Gentlemen, ladies. There is no need for this violence. I am a priestess of Calistria, and if you will permit me, I will heal this feline fellow. Then if it would please both side I would be willing to act as an impartial mediator for this disagreement. I a sure that we would be able to achieve an agreeable end to whatever grievance lay between you both.

Rolls

Diplomacy - (1d20+6+1)

(8) + 7 = 15

Octavius rises from his seat, draws his Main Gauche and Short Sword, nods to Dalia and says loudly "Truly a civil discussion is for the best, but this one must stand for justice" and points at the Thug Crossbowman

Rolls

Intimidation, so the scum understand the alternative to Dalia's suggestion - (1d20+5)

(12) + 5 = 17

As on que, the bar patrons calmly scramble for cover, brawls are common in the seedy "Dancing Kobald". Except the orc bartender, who continues "cleaning" glasses at the bar.

In the chaos the Thug Leader, a halfling with unkempt hair shouts "Stop, we are not here for here for you lot" Gesturing he commands, "Grab this mook, we are out of here. Now!" 

Two lurch forward and grab McTarget, dragging him back to the door. One grumbling about a sling pellet that wacked her in the eye.

The other two, load and aim their crossbows at the crowd. "Watch the gnome, they are unpredictable" one whispers

'fuck it diplomacy is boring.

Tassle whips out his crossbow loads and shoots the mouthy one

Rolls

Fuck it. Also ARROWED! - (D8+5)

(1) + 5 = 6

OOC:

It looks like Tassle rolled a D8 instead of a D20. Can you re-roll

Use D20+5 in the roll command part

Newb attack - (D20+5)

Tassle's crossbow bolt flies true ... into the floor.
OOC:
10 will not beat AC 15
Without hesitation the thugs launch 2 crossbow bolts at Tassle, both which become entangled in the Protector Tree's branches
OOC:

Both Thug with hand crossbows readied an action to shot if anyone tried anything
https://2e.aonprd.com/Actions.aspx?ID=82

Thug CB rolled a 17 (+6) which bets Tassle's of 15 (+2 cause she backflipped into cover)
Thug 2 rolled a 11 (+6) which misses (barely)
Damage is absorbed by the protector tree

https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?ID=459
The Backroom Goons shout "McTaaarrrgggeetttt" as then launch into action. 2 yelling weapons, quickly catching up to the thugs and McTarget. The third aims a crossbow and fires. The bolt bounces off the Thugs dagger and thuds into McTarget, who doesn't reacts with a soft wheeze.
OOC:

The goons are just using their move actions, 25ft per action x3
Except the one with the crossbow, he attacked and rolled a 1 (+6) which is less than McTargets' AC of 12. A failure, except for the 1. Rolling a 1 lowers the degree of success to a critical failure.

McTarget is not doing well

OOC:
Seline's turn
Jul 15, 2023 3:42 am
Seline is about done with these thugs and their nonsense. She uses her stern look and intimidation skills to try and shut down the thugs saying "obviously you lot need to stop this right now before you end up doing something you regret". Then she readies her acid splash cantrip to hit the bleeding moron if he doesn't give up and leave. She also orders her awesome familiar to run about like a small dog underfoot in search of snackies and trip as many goons as possible.
OOC:
roll for intimidation
Roll for acid splash just in case theyre stupid
You splash a glob of acid that splatters your target and nearby creatures. Make a spell attack. If you hit, you deal 1d6 acid damage plus 1 splash acid damage. On a critical success, the target also takes 1 persistent acid damage.

Rolls

Intimidation - (1d20+4)

(10) + 4 = 14

Acid splash to hit - (1d20+7)

(3) + 7 = 10

Acid splash damage - (1d6)

(2) = 2

Dalia shakes her head at the foolishness of situation before making a series of hand motions and saying a prayer softly.

[ooc]healing spell using 2 actions, so 30 ft range[ooc]

Rolls

Healing Mctarget - (1d10+8)

(1) + 8 = 9

Jul 15, 2023 10:37 pm
The bloodied thug scoffs as acid flies harmless by. He gives you a ‘defiant teenager" sneer and continues what he is doing.

Meanwhile the Leshy dives on an abandoned plate. Seline you feel a psychic "SNACK!!!!" Resound from the Leshy.
OOC:

DC to initidate was 15. So the check failed
Similarly, the thug AC is 15
Use an action for better result on Leshy order
Dalia’s divine will fills McTarget, who beings to stir
OOC:

Now McTarget is merely wounded

Also, feel free to be creative on the 3 action. Move to flank, mock or intimidate your enemies, etc

Octavius realizes that violence is clearly the only remaining course of action, steps up to the Thug [as indicated by the yellow arrow drawn], considers trying to disarm him for an advantage in the fight, reconsiders and lunges his short sword into the Thug's guts.

Rolls

Shank a mofo - (1d20+5)

(6) + 5 = 11

Jul 16, 2023 3:57 am
OOC:
If I hit, I do 1d6+2 damage

Rolls

potential murder - (1d6+2)

(5) + 2 = 7

Jul 16, 2023 3:59 am
Not having much faith in his initial strike, Octavius follows up with his Main Gauche, stabbing it into the Thug's neck

Rolls

because the first time was fun - (1d20+5-5)

(20) = 20

and if I hit, it hurts him this much - (1d4+2)

(4) + 2 = 6

Jul 16, 2023 5:15 am
The yellow Thug dodge the short sword, only to weave, face first, into Octavius' off-hand blade. The Thug collapses clutching his face.
OOC:

Fun fact, the Main Gauche would only take a -4 due to the Agile Trait
https://2e.aonprd.com/Weapons.aspx?ID=32
21 bets an AC of 15, a success that is bumped to a critical success as you rolled a 20. Double damage

Also, didn't see the yellow arrow
Jul 16, 2023 5:53 am
The bartender is unphased, and tries to shoo away the snacking Leshy. "My SNACK" feels Seline
Jul 16, 2023 6:01 am
The Thug Leader mumbles while wiggling his hands. A faint mana disk forms in from of him and he intensely looks at Octavius.

Octavius you feel your a throbbing pressure attempt to cloud your mind ...
OOC:

Action 1: Casts Shield (1 round spell)
Action 2/3: Cast Daze on Octavius
Steve please roll a will save DC 15

Jul 16, 2023 6:13 am
Thug 4 feebly and slowly continues to drag McTarget towards the door. "Unhandmeyoublacktearlacky" McTarget wheezes as he struggles to get free.

Thug CB 1 & 2 load and loss two crossbow blots, which fly randomly through the tavern. Thug CB 2 reloads, while Thug CB 1 drops the handcrossbow and draws a sap.
