The entrance to Ashen Ossuary is presents itself to you all as it would have on any other day. You all know the place, but at the request of Keleri Deverin, there is something amiss inside, and you've been asked to explore it.

Struuk wrinkles his nose. Aye, I've smelt many a nasty thing in my days, but these sewers are downright awful. the ruddy dwarf says flicking drips of sweat from his brow as his grip tightened around the leather-wrapped handle of his crossbow.
Aug 13, 2018 3:52 pm
Zenol leans on his staff and picks some of the twigs out of his matted hair. "Could be worse Struuk, you could have had to walk behind a sweaty dwarf all day." the elf says with a smile, giving Struuk a wink.

The door to the ossuary remains slightly ajar as the party gathers before it. Nearby, the signs of urban life travel past along the the waters, mercifully unencumbered as they make the voyage away from civilization. Inside the ossuary, the smells and sounds are different. A drier air drifts out, as slight sounds of wetness can be heard. However, all is calm from where you currently stand.

As the group surveys the entrance to the ossuary Janhur spits on the ground and wonders if there will be enough light inside for him to see anything. With a drop or two of elven blood in his mongrel ancestry the sellsword can see in the gloom better than most, but he doubts it will be enough here. The half-elf thumbs one of his many earrings, while his other hand rests on the pommel of his sword. Shaped like a frog, the bronze pommel would have made the sword look comical if it wasn't so effective in the hands of its owner.
"Well, we doin' this or what?"
As Ven moves into the darkness Janhur swaggers forward just a few steps behind.

Janhur is no stranger to death and the decay and disease that follows in its wake. Crouching low, the sellsword squints at the tooth marks on the bones in an effort to identify the predator or scavenger. He dips a finger in one of the puddles and sniffs it.

This is a tricky one because they changed out the knowledge skills. If you were trying to perform some kind of on the spot pathology of the detritus, I'd say that might be Medicine. Survival tends to be related more to things like foraging and tracking. However, if you were trying to identify a creature, that would probably fall under Lore. I'll give a brief description of the stuff int e room and see if that helps, but if you want to roll, just let me know what you'd like to do and throw the dice.OOC:

Janhur is next. Ven's attack appears to be correct, and wow is that powerful. A few initiative boosts as well and the rogue is pretty comfortably doing serious damage. Does anyone else see anything different? I compared it to the description of sneak attack from 1e, and it seems like the removed the requirement that the rogue has to catch someone off guard. I'm copying the text over for the sake of comparison. "Sneak Attack: If a rogue can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.
The rogue's attack deals extra damage anytime her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and increases by 1d6 every two rogue levels thereafter. Should the rogue score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.
With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage (like a sap, whip, or an unarmed strike), a rogue can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual –4 penalty.
The rogue must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment."
Compared to the spoilers marithyme posted, that is quite a change.
Ooze is at 26/40 HP.

"There's something you don't see every day." Janhur growls as the thing oozes towards the group. Striding forward to put the creature between him and Ven, he strikes twice with his sword - a quick downward thrust followed an arcing slash.

Struuk grins and takes a half beat to study the ooze, trying to figure out the best way to hunt this creature before bringing his crossbow up to his shoulder, grinning and squeezing the trigger, sending the bolt hurtling towards the ooze. His fingers drop to his thigh without looking, sliding another bolt out to slip it into the groove atop the wooden frame.

[ +- ] Hunt Target
Hunt Target (Can see or hear the target) {A} You designate a single creature within 100 feet as your target and focus your attacks against that creature. While hunting that creature, you gain benefits for focusing your attacks. As long as all your attacks in a round are against target you're hunting, the multiple attack penalty you take on the second attack is -4 (-3 with an agile weapon) instead of -5, and -8 (-6 with an agile weapon) instead of -10 on the third and any further attacks in the round. You also ignore the penalty for making ranged attacks against the target you?re hunting within your second range increment. You also gain a +2 circumstance bonus to Perception checks when you Seek your target and a +2 circumstance bonus to Survival checks when you Track your target.
You can have only one creature designated as the target of your hunt at a time. If you use Hunt Target against a creature when you already have a creature designated, the prior creature loses the designation and the new target gains the designation. In any case, this designation lasts until your next daily preparation (see page 332).

When you use Hunt Target or when you use Interact to reload your crossbow, if your next Strike with that crossbow before the end of your next turn is against your hunted target, add half your Wisdom modifier to your damage roll; if you are firing a simple crossbow on a qualifying attack, also increase the damage dice on that attack by one size (see page 91).

He coughs a bit at the assumed inuendo, and says, "only the most virtuous, I assure you." He smooths his clothes and straightens himself out asmuch as his girth will allow and says, "I'm most skilled as a healer. Clearly, I'm not much of an adventurer, but as long as we don't have to outrun anything particularly he fast," he says crossing his fingers, "I should be ok."

This character doesn't exist in the playtest. The reason I'm doing this is twofold, because of how the campaign is organized. None of you read it, but it assumes you have vital information. You alljust start at the entrance "knowing stuff". HOwever, after reading the quest material, the cut-off for what the players are and aren't supposed to know isn't clear. At least to me.

[ +- ] Hunt Target
Hunt Target (Can see or hear the target) {A} You designate a single creature within 100 feet as your target and focus your attacks against that creature. While hunting that creature, you gain benefits for focusing your attacks. As long as all your attacks in a round are against target you're hunting, the multiple attack penalty you take on the second attack is -4 (-3 with an agile weapon) instead of -5, and -8 (-6 with an agile weapon) instead of -10 on the third and any further attacks in the round. You also ignore the penalty for making ranged attacks against the target you?re hunting within your second range increment. You also gain a +2 circumstance bonus to Perception checks when you Seek your target and a +2 circumstance bonus to Survival checks when you Track your target.
You can have only one creature designated as the target of your hunt at a time. If you use Hunt Target against a creature when you already have a creature designated, the prior creature loses the designation and the new target gains the designation. In any case, this designation lasts until your next daily preparation (see page 332).

[ +- ] Crossbow Ace
When you use Hunt Target or when you use Interact to reload your crossbow, if your next Strike with that crossbow before the end of your next turn is against your hunted target, add half your Wisdom modifier to your damage roll; if you are firing a simple crossbow on a qualifying attack, also increase the damage dice on that attack by one size (see page 91).

Ven runs to the side to get an unobstructed angle on one of the goblins, then pulls back on her bowstring, releasing an arrow towards her hapless foe.
Action 2: Strike
Action 3: Strike again?
Not clear on if you can strike twice in a round, and if there is a penalty for the second one? Rolling it just in case it is allowed.

I'll have to consult the rules. I'm seeing a move, 3 attacks (2 with a bow), and sneak attack damage. I'll need to look into how Sneak Attacks work in active melee.Oct 9, 2018 2:23 am
OOC:
I went back and looked at the rules, and here's what I see: Sneak attack only really matters if the opponent hasn't acted yet. Whether they see you or not doesn't appear to matter. So, in this case, the damage would be appicable, but the impression I have is that Sneak Attack is now tied as much to initiative as it is to Stealth. Maybe someone else has an opinion on this? As for the actions, according the Basic Actions, two bow attacks + a move seems to be ok, but I'd just need to know if Ven is taking a full move, or just a 5 foot step. To answer your question, it does appear that striking multiple times in a round is permissible, even if it is a ranged weapon. Does anyone have any other input on this?Oct 9, 2018 5:20 am

I think they can strike multiple times, but maybe Multiple Attack Penalty applies?Oct 9, 2018 10:41 am

Sorry, that should have said "stride" not "strike", changed above. I intended her to move as far to the side as she can, to get a better angle on the goblins.Oct 10, 2018 3:18 am

Yes! Thank you for the reminder, but since it's not stated, I'm thinking the -5 for the Multiple Attack Penalty is to hit. -5 damage seems not fair. The results from Ven's turn are the same. By taking the wide turn around the goblins there should be less risk of placing herself at danger. OOC:

OOC:
I'm only wielding the one sword. Shield in the other hand. :-)If I am understanding this correctly: Thanks to Furious Focus, the first two swings (obvious misses) don't count towards Multiple Attack Penalty. Therefore the third attack would have a +5 modifier. I'm thinking that just might hit?
Edit: Was discussing this with Naatkinson on Discord, and it turns out I was in fact slight misunderstanding the feat in that it only starts working from your second attack for the round. So then: my second attack missed and so thanks to the feat, my third attack would have been at -5 penalty rather than at -10, so a total of 9. Yeah okay I'm guessing that does miss.
Thanks!

First, that is some mighty impressive rolling. Second, the goblins wouldn't really be flat-footed anymore. What I will ask is that you give a description your attack. Make it bad ass. These rolls deserve it!Oct 18, 2018 1:29 am
Ven draws her bowstring to her ear and releases three arrows in quick succession. The first stirs Janhur's beard as it slides past, into the eye of his opponent. The second sinks to its feathers in the armpit of another, piercing his back in a spray of blood. The third, about to target a goblin with greasy hair and eyes that point in random directions, is deflected inadvertently as Janhur changes position and skips harmlessly off the edge of his gauntlet. Ven curses at the ill luck, but reaches back to her quiver to continue the onslaught.

I've been a bit distracted with real-life stuff.OOC:
I think it would be worth going over the rules for XP. It looks like this is one of the biggest changes in the new edition. Now if I understand correctly, acquiring XP is based on overcoming challenges which are DC based, i.e. combat. In the Playtest Bestiary, it looks like there's a note that the Gobiln Warrior is in the Bestiary, which I assume to mean the original 1st edition Bestiary. Thoughts?
