SESSION 22?? - THE ONE THAT NEVER WAS


Drufle (GM)
well once again weve got two
how do the caster twins feel about destroying a dungeon

Steven Q.
I was thinking Ice Cream Interlude myself

Drufle (GM)
oh no the ice cream

Copy of Daha aṭē
"I AgREE WitH thIS CouRSe oF aCTIon"

Drufle (GM)
i really should just get rid of the copies

Copy of Daha aṭē
Liquid Daha
the imperfect clone

Drufle (GM)
big boss daha
did i write down the dretch's name
ok good i did

Navaya
which one
we've recruited a whole bunch

Drufle (GM)
no we havent
we have tons of tieflings
we only have the one dretch

Navaya
oh ok

Drufle (GM)
he's up there with red
his name is boz'gomoz, or boz for short

Navaya
nice

Aerlin
lets rename him chandler??
he's the funny one

Drufle (GM)
never
it can be boz'chandler'gomoz

Navaya
it's part of the rehab process

Aerlin
I'll be there for you, Drufle.

Drufle (GM)
well if you guys want to do ice cream things i bet theres like

Aerlin
I've got a cold so hard that Aerlin's got it too.

Drufle (GM)
actual rules in UW about doing that stuff

Navaya
all these campfires look like fire-breathing pac-men

Drufle (GM)
pfffft
apparently it's very windy here

Navaya
honestly druf I am about to collapse here
and streak doesn't seem much better

Drufle (GM)
well alright

Aerlin
I caught Hell Cold
which is a weird name for that.

Navaya
i am sorry
hell froze over

Aerlin
How do I cast Tissues?

Drufle (GM)
theres already a cold part of hell
multiple actually

Aerlin
Summon Tissue Elemental

Navaya
if you can clone the discombobulator
you could turn create water into create paper
it's not tissue paper but it'll do

Aerlin
create Waper
its like paper, but branded
I just have to establish that as a real thing, then the spell will have meaning.

Drufle (GM)
yeah i was right there are actual rules for foraging
anyway you guys can just go and sleep if you want

Aerlin
i'll wait for a bit more and if no one shows up just grab an early night
...1am is early

Navaya
create hater

Drufle (GM)
well we're already 30 minutes overtime and theres no sign of golurk

Aerlin
was noven busy

Drufle (GM)
yeah
hes out this weekend

Aerlin
what a rascal

Navaya
I texted sam and have not had a response

Aerlin
do i log this, there were some killer jokes

Drufle (GM)
:P
absolutely do not count this as session 22

Aerlin
or are we absolutely in the realm of non-canon

Drufle (GM)
none of you said anything in character so we're not allowed to log it

Navaya
create later
infinitely delays the spell
saps all the magic out of the area

Aerlin
eh ill do it later...
eh.............

Drufle (GM)
create procrastination

Aerlin
how awful

Navaya
SCP-____ appears
(the rock that makes you procrastinate)

Aerlin
Anyway, Aerlin pulls her Broadsword out and attacks SATAN.

Drufle (GM)
his name is asmodeus here

Aerlin
"time to sort this shit out once and for all b["
rolling 1d20 ( 5 ) = 5

Drufle (GM)
maybe not

Aerlin
surge!
rolling d50 ( 50 ) = 50

Drufle (GM)
...
Navaya:

Navaya
Spellcraft
Check27

Aerlin
Take that, assmodeus!!

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20( 20 ) = 20

Aerlin
B0

Drufle (GM)
rolling d100( 94 ) = 94

Navaya
hm

Drufle (GM)
wow

Navaya
would have been a good session

Drufle (GM)
ok i was checking to see if not including the 1dx just made it take the max value
but nope we just both had insane luck
thats it, it cant get any better
let's hop out
Navaya:

Navaya
Spellcraft
Check24

Aerlin
I'm seizing your roll as my crit confirm.
Satan is super dead.
Thanks Aerlin!

Navaya build a mech suit out of ice for daha

Aerlin
Cool sword man
thats a great concept
it requires revisiting

Drufle (GM)
a Man with swords?

Aerlin
no the ice mech

Drufle (GM)
oh

Aerlin
There Has To Be A Way??

Navaya
I don't even have to draw anything

Drufle (GM)
just make a very small ice golem

Navaya
there's a remarkably large number of ice mechs

Aerlin
i was thinking collosal
anyway bye bye

Drufle (GM)
seeya
ENOUGH OF THAT. TIME FOR THE REAL ONE.

Streak
if they dont show up in time can i have their stuff

Drufle (GM)
session 22: aerlin inherits over 60k gp in resources

Streak
and like, 50 swords?

Drufle (GM)
many swords
i think it's more like 7 but it's still a lot

Aerlin
You know, in the meantime...
Red was talking to someone, wasn't he?
We could RP that or just figure out what the results were..?

Drufle (GM)
yeah we're semi-interrogating the dwarf cleric

Aerlin
Boz is also there I guess??

Drufle (GM)
he is indeed
for, uh, whatever we'd like to do with him
there are actually a bunch of things i need to tell the party
stuff they found in staunton's room
dunno if it's worth going through all the babble with only two people here at the moment

Aerlin
Eh go ahead it'll be in the log I guess

Drufle (GM)
Fair point.
Make some people actually read the blessed things.
So along with that giant pile of treasure, you guys found a journal in Staunton's chest.
Arguably, this might actually be the most valuable object you found.

Aerlin
Is it made of Gold?

Drufle (GM)
There's a whole lot of very important information in here.
Uhhhh.
It's just black stained leather, I think.

Aerlin
We shall sell it to the highest bidder.
On...faerieBay...?

Drufle (GM)
The first thing it mentions is a comprehensive list of dozens of holy items that Staunton and his brother tainted with something called a Corruption Forge.

Golurk
Kragg's List

Drufle (GM)
Perfect.
Yes.

Red Redford
that doesnt sound good

Drufle (GM)
There's also a physical description of the Sword of Valor, as well as a number of entries noting his annoyance at Aponavicius' refusal to let him corrupt it.

Red Redford
curious...

Drufle (GM)
A number of pages (quite a few, actually) are just descriptions of various means of torture he plans on using on Irabeth as revenge for ruining his life.

Aerlin
Someone's got a grudge, yeesh.

Red Redford
oh how the turntables

Drufle (GM)
Notes on an incredibly powerful shadow demon known as Eustoyriax, who came to Drezen not long ago, riding in the possessed body of a crusader.

Red Redford
ominous
theyre totally alive somewhere
clearly

Drufle (GM)
The demon came with gifts for Aponavicius; five vials of distilled power, brewed from a powder made from something called a Nahyndrian crystal.
Staunton volunteered to test the fluids, which granted him incredible power.
Aponavicius proceeded to take one vial for herself, and gave the remaining three to her favorite pets; only her chimera survived.

Red Redford
hence the mythic tiers
hmhmmm
potent

Aerlin
mythic juice, yum

Drufle (GM)
Eustoyriax is currently protecting the Sword of Valor somewhere underneath the citadel.

Aerlin
Would make a great component in our next batch of iced cream flavours...

Red Redford
...oh
so there are like
two major shadow demons eh

Aerlin
I wonder what I know about shadow demons, then.

Red Redford
but Epona Vicious isnt there

Drufle (GM)
Staunton has a few pages on someone named Xanthir Vang, a leader of the regional Blackflame Adepts that is currently in charge of the Templars of the Ivory Labyrinth.
He also mentions a notable dislike of the wizard; something about Vang deeply revolted Staunton.

Red Redford
oh boy a summoner

Drufle (GM)
Finally, there are notes of a very important prisoner in the dungeons; a succubus named Arueshalae, who was captured and imprisoned by Aponavicius for some sort of anti-Abyssal heresey.
The succubus escaped Drezen shortly after Aponavicius left the citadel, and finding and retrieving her has been Staunton's primary point of focus for a while now.

Aerlin
Hmm...surely not the one we ran into.
Ah, well, then no.
She's off.

Drufle (GM)
This section ends with mention of him hiring an annis hag cultist of Sifkesh to track Arueshalae down, stating that he himself will go out after her once, quote, "this matter with the so-called heroes of Kenabres is settled."

Red Redford
thats us!!!
neat
i think

Drufle (GM)
:P
So that's pretty much all the important information in here.
There's a bit of backstory as well; information about how Staunton was responsible for the fall of Drezen.
Mostly accidentally.

Aerlin
First thing's first, we're probably gonna fight a shadow demon.

Red Redford
relatable
yeah we gotta prepare

Aerlin
So let's try get some tactical info...

Red Redford
knowledge checks???

Aerlin
Knowledge roll??

Red Redford
yea

Drufle (GM)
Aerlin totally already did a knowledge check on shadow demons, like, 8 sessions ago.
Red Redford:
default Red Redford : Religion
Check 15
+4 Kn. religion, +2 Kn. of demigods
+7 (Monster Lore)

Drufle (GM)
When we first found out that Aron had that shadowblood addiction.

Aerlin
rolling 1d20+19( 13 )+19 = 32

Drufle (GM)
Wow.

Aerlin
I have to do it again so I can show off my brain muscles.

Drufle (GM)
Right, ok, shadow demons...
Traditionally known for being weak to sunlight, having incredible powers of possession and mastery of shadows, and are fast as all hell.

Aerlin
Hit it with swords, did you say?

Drufle (GM)
I'm very much saying the opposite.
Because in addition to the above, shadow demons are incorporeal.

Aerlin
Dang.

Red Redford
oh so my searing light can help a lot

Drufle (GM)
I'm gonna go look up what all incorporeal means.
It's one of those statuses that does a lot.

Aerlin
I mean, I have a Daylight wand, but somehow I don't think that will be enough.

Red Redford
we need some possession resistance somehow
especially the heavy hitters

Aerlin
If it's underground, let's blow up the roof.

Red Redford
do we have an editable notes thingy
i wanna paste the contents of that journal

Aerlin
I can aid one Will check per day, at least.
Not amazing though.
Of course, Protection from Evil will help too.

Drufle (GM)
Incorporeality makes you completely immune to all non-magical sources of damage, and even magic weapons and spells from corporeal sources do half damage. Corporeal magic/effects that do not do damage only have a 50% chance of effecting the creature. They can hide within objects and walk through walls without problem. Their attacks completely ignore all natural and physical armor, although force effects and mage armor still work. Also, they move completely silently.
Basically it will the absolute bane of G'hesh and Rochelle, since their attacks will do half damage and it can utterly ignore all their armor bonuses.

Aerlin
Oh boy.

Drufle (GM)
Also I guess this might technically be a session now, so I'll plop down the number of 22.

Aerlin
I wonder if I could Dismissal it.

Red Redford
there.

Drufle (GM)
You can, and I really hope you don't.

Aerlin
Probably has that 50% miss rate though.

Drufle (GM)
It would, yes.

Aerlin
Also, it might come back anyway.

Drufle (GM)
In addition to the usual save.
Well...
It can teleport, yes.
But it's not like it has plane shift.

Red Redford
thanks drufle

Aerlin
Well, they might resummon it later.

Drufle (GM)
Wasn't summoned.
Remember?
Virtually none of the demons you face are summoned.

Aerlin
However the baddies got it here in the first place, then.

Red Redford
hmhmm
i think i get a spell that helps...
lets see

Drufle (GM)
Probably the giant hole in the world that demons can just walk through.

Aerlin
Just saying if we bumped into it again in like 13 session's time its gonna be SUPER awkward.

Red Redford
http://archivesofnethys.com/SpellDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Force%20Anchor oh it only prevents them from moving through objects

Aerlin
I'm still gonna try, though.

Red Redford
wheres the Turns Incorporeal Corporeal

Drufle (GM)
Bud, if you faced him again in 13 sessions, he would be no match for the party.

Aerlin
A way to detect it's location, at least, will be useful.

Red Redford
another scouting cat party?

Aerlin
Does Navaya's pouch have that ability yet?

Drufle (GM)
It does, but he's not invisible, just incorporeal.

Aerlin
Well, he can move silently through walls, so we might still have issues tracking him.

Drufle (GM)
True.
Well, I'll give you guys a little spoiler.
There's an awful lot of dungeon before we even reach Eustoyriax.
So no need to plan too much ahead.

Aerlin
Could hardly hurt us to do so for once, though.

Drufle (GM)
Fair dos.

Red Redford
http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/advancedPlayersGuide/spells/ghostbaneDirge.html

Aerlin
I like this planning thing. I feel all tingly inside.

Drufle (GM)
Pfffft.
Caution? Foresight?

Red Redford
i can cast this!

Drufle (GM)
Madness!

Aerlin
I can't cast this! I don't like this feeling.

Red Redford
:P

Drufle (GM)
I was going to say you don't actually know that spell.
But you don't really have to, huh/
?

Red Redford
heckov

Aerlin
"So, what, you just like, -ask- your God for spells, and they hand them over?"

Red Redford
did we pick up any ghost touch weapons?

Aerlin
"That's utterly absurd."

Drufle (GM)
Now that you mention it, I think G'hesh is actually wearing ghost touch armor.

Red Redford
"I ask very nicely."
roche should clearly wield her like a weapon

Aerlin
"I gotta memorise these really complicated runic patterns and weave magic through them. It's, like, super hard."
"My brain hurts All The Time."

Drufle (GM)
Gosh, I can't believe you guys actually have like 47k gp.
Rich kids.

Red Redford
i still havent decided on a goog magic items
*item

Aerlin
"I mean, look at this Level 9 spell I have in here. I don't even remember writing this one down. I can't fit this thing in my head, it's ridiculous."

Drufle (GM)
What even is a level 9?
There are levels above 5?

Red Redford
"I'll keep you in my prayers."

Aerlin
"I'm pretty sure it just controls plants, too."

Drufle (GM)
(yeah it's a pretty terrible 9th level spell)
By the way, after off-handedly calling the party kids, I went and looked at how old everyone actually is.
Guess who the oldest is?

Red Redford
navi

Drufle (GM)
Not even slightly.

Aerlin
Well, I'm 56.

Red Redford
aerlin

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, it's Aerlin.

Aerlin
Although, technically speaking I'm far older.

Drufle (GM)
By a factor of 2 or 3.

Red Redford
geez what a geezer

Aerlin
It's like. Elf years.

Red Redford
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/b/bless-weapon/ how about this???
oils of this?
its a level 1 pally spell

Drufle (GM)
Rochelle is only 26, Red and Navaya are only 18, and G'hesh is 17.

Red Redford
red is older than ghesh???

Aerlin
Do none of their races run on Elf Years?

Red Redford
and shes not even drinking age???
where are her parents

Drufle (GM)
Well, the three of them aren't actual races.
So I have no idea of how they age.

Aerlin
Oh my God she's been underage drinking the whole time.
We're criminals now??

Drufle (GM)
How terrible.

Aerlin
For the purposes of making this somewhat an actual session, should we do the Red Interrogation Scene?
Does Red want to do that

Red Redford
tbh i want to skip that and do a check instead

Aerlin
We'll just assume you did Good Cop Bad Cop all by yourself.

Red Redford
feat. Roche sitting on the interrogatee instead

Drufle (GM)
There's not a whole lot Joran has to say, honestly.

Red Redford
the journal has most of it?

Drufle (GM)
No, that's Staunton.

Aerlin
You can't have Rochelle, we were having a chat last session while you did this.

Drufle (GM)
Joran is this guy.

Aerlin
She's MINE.

Drufle (GM)
Make your Influence check and we'll see how much he's willing to say.

Aerlin
...Ghesh is heavy.

Red Redford
yeah but. his info is mostly the same as the journal? or no

Aerlin
Unless she's not because she's a Teen.

Drufle (GM)
'Tis not.
Joran doesn't actually know most of what's in that journal.

Aerlin
Just a lackey, then?

Red Redford
oh
default Red Redford : Influence
Check 39

Drufle (GM)
He's Staunton's brother, and has kinda just been dragged along.

Red Redford
lmao

Drufle (GM)
Gosh, friggin' +20.

Red Redford
i surge that too
er

Drufle (GM)
Why!

Red Redford
jk

Aerlin
Good job getting Navaya to also sit on him.

Drufle (GM)
Well, in Staunton's years of being in the Worldwound, he's tried to drag several members of his family to his side.
A few of these have succeeded, but Joran has always been rather lackluster in worshiping demons.
Instead, he's tried becoming a cleric of Droskar, the evil Dwarf god.
And that hasn't gone super great for him.

Red Redford
lol what a loser

Drufle (GM)
The only real reason Staunton's been keeping him alive is because Joran is very good at being a blacksmith.
He's manned the Corruption Forge, and has corrupted quite a few things (as mentioned in the journal).

Aerlin
Interesting.

Red Redford
is the forge in the citadel

Aerlin
Wonder if it has a reverse option...

Drufle (GM)
It is in the citadel!

Aerlin
Like a button. Somewhere.

Red Redford
oh ok
so its not portable...

Drufle (GM)
Joran actually has knowledge of the front parts of the underground dungeon.

Red Redford
but the shadow demon doesnt want to corrupt the sword of valor because of Mystery Reasons
even though theyre in the same place already

Joran Vhane
Aponavicius doesn't want it corrupted.

Drufle (GM)
Whoops.

Red Redford
oh hi mark

Drufle (GM)
I don't know if Euystoriax cares either way.

Red Redford
Front Parts of Underground Dungeon added to Evidence
Take that!

Aerlin
What about the banner?
We aren't here for a sword, technically.

Drufle (GM)
He's never seen it himself, but he knows it's deeper in the dungeon than the parts he's allowed to be in.
He's only ever seen the prison and the forge areas.

Red Redford
what does this do...
default Red Redford : Confess
Spell Level: Inquisitor, 2
School: Enchantment (compulsion) [language-dependent, mind-affecting]
Components: V, S, DF
Range: 45 (Close)
Effects/Target: One creature
Duration: 1 round
Spell Resistance: 0
Save: Will partial; see text DC: 19 Rolls
Caster Level Check =26
Concentration Check =20

Cast Defensively DC
19
You ask the target creature a single question. On the subject's next action, it must answer truthfully in the same language as the question or take 1d6 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d6) and be sickened for 2d4 rounds. A successful Will save negates the sickening effect and halves the damage. A creature that is unable to answer still takes damage.
Spells Notes:+1 DC to conjuration spells

Aerlin
Say, wasn't that banner magical in some way?

Red Redford
oh

Drufle (GM)
It's exceedingly magical.
Literally a major artifact.

Aerlin
Maybe we can make use of it.

Red Redford
can we eat it to gain its powers

Drufle (GM)
Uh, ok, Confess.

Aerlin
At least to fight the boss.

Red Redford
oh im not casting it

Drufle (GM)
Ah.
If you can find the banner, you probably could use it against them.

Red Redford
which one is deepest: the sword, the forge, or the shadow demon boss?

Drufle (GM)
He doesn't really know where the banner or the demon is; but they are both deeper in the dungeon than his forge.

Aerlin
Makes sense...

Drufle (GM)
In fact, as far as he knows, you have to go through his forge to get to the deeper parts.
He sees Staunton and some other cultists pass through the forge room regularly.

Aerlin
I can probably make use of the Arcane Eye to scout ahead, anyway.

Red Redford
thumbs up emoji

Aerlin
Assuming of course, that there are no DOORS.
I can't get past DOORS.
Unless they have KEYHOLES.

Drufle (GM)
Joran is honestly just kinda sick and tired of having to listen to his brother, and aside from the expected "being sad that his family is dead, even if they were super evil", he's rather relieved now.

Aerlin
Well, isn't that nice.

Red Redford
can we redeem him

Drufle (GM)
Given time, and good Influence/Religion checks, he might eventually become a cleric of someone new.

Red Redford
neatorama
i was gonna feed him to the dretch otherwise

Drufle (GM)
Oh dear.

Red Redford
just kidding!
or am i....

Boz'gomoz lazes about.

Aerlin
No, only kibble for Boz!

Red Redford
good name

Drufle (GM)
He's probably too lazy to eat an entire person.

Aerlin
I mean, that's a tall order for most people.
It'd take a few days at least.

Drufle (GM)
I figure eating a dwarf would be a short order.

Red Redford
im so hungry i can eat a dwarf! is probably a common turn of phrase
10/10 joke drufle

Aerlin
Probably tougher meat though.
Is this gross??

Red Redford
we can invent sous-vide

Drufle (GM)
You're already making ice cream.

Red Redford
can we sous-vide ice cream

Drufle (GM)
You can't independently invent all of modern cuisine!

Red Redford
molecular gastronomy, bitch

Aerlin
Binging With G'hesh

Red Redford
navi help us make tanks of liquid nitrogen!
hmmm what else
can we go fight some things in the wilderness
lmao

Drufle (GM)
I mean...
We could just do the first fight or two in the dungeon.

Aerlin
Take THAT Hell Rabbit

Red Redford
hell yeah cool item drops!
time to trade these in for Cool Armors

Aerlin
Fel Rabbit Ass
Let's just start the dungeon already sure.

Red Redford
i bet we can handle one or two or all
surprise everyone else the wizard really IS that powerful

Drufle (GM)
Alright, here we are.

Red Redford
creepo music

Drufle (GM)
So, I have a few things to tell you guys about this place.
It's *bad.

Red Redford
where is this
i think i missed a session...

Drufle (GM)
Uh, one sec.

Red Redford
ok

Aerlin
(Mage Armor + Protection/Arrows)

Drufle (GM)
There's a staircase next to this room.
The one you fought Joran in.

Red Redford
so blurry
there we go
ah

Drufle (GM)
Yeah sorry, I forgot to mention that.

Red Redford
so weve explored every place on the ground level then

Drufle (GM)
Also, remember how Aron had a map of this place?
(he did if you don't actually remember)

Red Redford
a Aron

Drufle (GM)
This room is just marked off as a storage closet on his map.
Everything down here has been made pretty new.

Aerlin
They sure work fast.
I wonder if it's up to safety codes.

Red Redford
i cast heroism on myself

Drufle (GM)
So first things first.
As I was saying earlier, this place is bad.

Red Redford
oh boy
like detect evil off the charts bad?

Drufle (GM)
The entire dungeon is heavily chaotic and evil aligned, meaning that any spells with the lawful or good descriptor are impeded.

Red Redford
SHIT

Drufle (GM)
The place is also under the effect of Unhallow, tied to a Dimensional Anchor spell.
Nobody can teleport in or out unless they are CE.
And finally, while you're down here, you're constantly hearing subtle whispering from the walls.

Aerlin
Will Dimension Door work?

Drufle (GM)
Nope.

Aerlin
Oh no!!

Drufle (GM)
The constant susurrus grates on your mind, driving you a little bit crazy.
I need everyone to make a will save every hour.

Aerlin
Oh dear.
Sanity checks...
Drufle (GM):

Navaya
Willpower
Save:11 G'hesh Nhot : Willpower
Save: 9

Red Redford
can we cast dispel magic on the unhallow
default Red Redford : Willpower
Save: 33

Save Notes
+1 per adjacent ally (Shake It Off)

Aerlin
rolling 1d20+11( 10 )+11 = 21

Drufle (GM)
You can try, but whoever put it here is CL 20.
So good luck.

Red Redford
yea babee

Aerlin
Oh...
Drufle (GM):
Rochelle Gwerm : Willpower
Save: 20

Save Notes
+2 to Will Saves against insanity and confusion

Red Redford
will saves for days

Drufle (GM)
Alright, both G'hesh and Navaya actually failed.
So they take 2 CHA damage!

Aerlin
I sure do have 8 CHA, huh.

Drufle (GM)
Not a terrible stat to drain, but don't let it hit 0.
Things will go bad.
So, now we can actually begin the dungeon.

Aerlin
"Wailing walls, how unsettling."

Red Redford
"Uncomfortable..."

Aerlin
"The very air here feels oppressive, too."
"Like we're being held here."

Red Redford
oh what does it mean when good and lawful spells are impeded

Aerlin
"I hope I am being comforting."

Red Redford
CL checks?

Drufle (GM)
Yep.
DC 20+Spell level or the slot is used up with no effect.

Aerlin
What's going on in here, then?

Red Redford
summonings gonna be hard

Drufle (GM)
Well...
Not really.
Isn't it a spell-like ability?

Red Redford
ooh wait i can summon neutral creatures

Drufle (GM)
Aerlin, this is a prison.
There are numerous, completely dark, very small cells around.

Red Redford
is that how stuff like that works

Drufle (GM)
You're standing in an iron cage.

Red Redford
i wont argue against that :P

Aerlin
I'll cast some Light on these areas, then.

Drufle (GM)
I mean, I always assumed SLAs ignored spell immunities and stuff.
There is actually dim lighting here; a strange, red lichen grows on the walls.
It's very shiny.

Aerlin
Gross.

Red Redford
lets eat it

Aerlin
We can do that later.
Are the cells empty?

Drufle (GM)
Some of them have skeletons- none have living subjects.

Aerlin
"Horrible conditions to die in."

Drufle (GM)
G1a/b look like they used to be jailors' quarters, but they're empty now.

Aerlin
Only one way forward, then.
Let's stick together and press on.
Drufle (GM):
Rochelle Gwerm : Perception
Check 20
A good try, Rochelle, but you found nothing of interest in the quarters.

Aerlin
Can I hear anything past the door, here? Aside from the wall whispers, I mean.
rolling 1d20+11 ( 1 )+11 = 12
Nope.

Drufle (GM)
The whispering is very, very loud.
It's getting kind of annoying.

Aerlin
Loud whispering...what a paradox.
I guess we'll just open it then.
What's the worst that could happen?
Don't answer that.
Red is lagging, apparently.

Drufle (GM)
He's doing spells.
As he noted in discord.

Aerlin
Download more RAM, noob.

Drufle (GM)
In front of you is a very long hallway with more cells, most of them larger.
A gated region sits to the east, and thick iron doors block the way north and south.

Aerlin
Oh, this must be the premium suite.

Red Redford
There!
thank you for your Patients

Aerlin
Are these cells empty or skeletony as well?

Red hears the moaning to be louder in this hallway; something other than the whispers are here.
Jailers' quarters, Rochelle found nothing in there.
That's not saying much, though.

Red Redford

Aerlin
We'll move forward towards this noise, if we can pin it down.

Drufle (GM)

Red Redford

Drufle (GM)
Whoops, he missed.
A hand reaches out of the wall to try and poke Rochelle, but doesn't reach quite far enough.
A ghostly hand!

Aerlin
Ooh boy, draining.
Probably?
Stay away from that.

Drufle (GM)
Odd.
Everyone's there for me.

Aerlin
Eh, whatever.

Drufle (GM)
Red's first, regardless.
For whatever he wants to do.

Aerlin
If you never act, then the enemy can never win.

Red Redford

Aerlin

Drufle (GM)

Aerlin

Drufle (GM)
Also, roll d3+2

Aerlin
Can't really see...

Red Redford

Drufle (GM)
That was where the hand came from.
Directly above Roch.
Gotta make your d3+2 roll either way.

Red Redford
actually lets go with something new
bralani azata
handsome boy, i summon thee

Drufle (GM)
Just one?

Red Redford
yeah

Drufle (GM)
That's kinda like a bralani.

Red Redford

Drufle (GM)
Also, is he savage or Agile?

Red Redford

Drufle (GM)
Right, then he acts on your turn and also on initiative 11.15

Red Redford
heckov
ok what do we

lmao

Aerlin
Attack the hand, if it's still out?

Drufle (GM)
You can actually attack it.

Red Redford
yeah is there something targetable

Drufle (GM)
It has cover against your attack.

Red Redford
oh ok

Drufle (GM)
Thus +4 AC.
But is otherwise targetable.

Red Redford
i cant cast anything for me right now so ill make it attack
"O whirlwind, strike the phantom down!"
i make him use lightning bolt
"Lightning bolt!"
reflex save or take 6d6 damage

Drufle (GM)
Uh, ok, right.
rolling d20+5 ( 13 )+5 = 18

Red Redford
what is the dc...

Aerlin
I'm gonna play the Sonic R soundtrack for this fight.

Red Redford

Drufle (GM)
So he takes 6d6/4 damage.

Red Redford
half
ok
it stacks

Drufle (GM)
He's incorporeal, and thus takes half damage from spells from corporeal sources.

Red Redford
this is gonna suuuuck

Drufle (GM)
Yeah.
Roll your 6d6.
Luckily they don't have much hp, that's the trade-off.

Red Redford
then red casts
wait no
i just
move
lol ok im done

Drufle (GM)
Roll your damage!

Red Redford
oh
rolling 6d6 ( 2 + 1 + 6 + 5 + 3 + 6 ) = 23

Drufle (GM)
So 6 damage.
Righto.

Red Redford
yea

Drufle (GM)
Aerlin!

Red Redford
cant wait to summon multiple azata later

Aerlin
Magic Missile, I guess.
Hmm...

Drufle (GM)
Yep!
Magic Missile does full damage.

Aerlin
So that's 5 missiles now

Drufle (GM)
All force effects do.
You could even Mythic Magic Missile.

Aerlin
rolling 5d4+5( 4 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 )+5 = 20

Drufle (GM)
Right, that was like 2/3 of his hp.

Red Redford
strong...

Drufle (GM)
Anything else?

Aerlin
Move back a bit.

Drufle (GM)
So Navaya...

Aerlin
That'll do for now.

Drufle (GM)
Maybe ear-piercing scream?
Mythic, even.
Fort save...
rolling d20+4 ( 16 )+4 = 20
rolling 4d8 ( 5 + 2 + 1 + 5 ) = 13
So... 3 damage.

Drufle (GM)
Cool.

That's you, Red.

Red Redford

Drufle (GM)
Oh, wait.
I ordered the guys wrong.
Enemies first, then the bralani.

Red Redford
weird that i only see the ghost, the bralani, and me

Aerlin
Um. Plural?

Drufle (GM)
Indeed!

Red Redford
Fear. Terror.

Aerlin
Sigh.

Drufle (GM)
First, against Rochelle.

Aerlin

Oof.
rolling d8 ( 5 ) = 5

Aerlin
That's...a miss.........?

Drufle (GM)
Take 5 damage and roll a fort save.

Aerlin
Maybe.....
rolling 1d20+8 ( 10 )+8 = 18

Drufle (GM)
You're fine.

Red Redford

Drufle (GM)
Now it's the bralani's turn.

Aerlin
"Gaow!"

Red Redford
ok!

Drufle (GM)
By the way, these guys look like mangled human paladins.
Arms broken in multiple places, heads lolling to the side, legs trailing beneath them.

Aerlin
Haunting.

Red Redford
o-oh
you shouldve said that the moment they creeped out
i wonder what they are...

Drufle (GM)
I was busy attacking the party to do introductions, my apologies.

Red Redford

lemme just handle this for a sec
+1 composite longbow 18 (11/×3)/16 (13/×3)
did that work

Drufle (GM)
It did!

Aerlin
i dont understand this
but sure

Drufle (GM)
And those are both hits.

Red Redford
neatorama

Drufle (GM)
So, uh, 12 damage.
And off goes that spectre.

Red Redford
spectre...

Drufle (GM)
So next is Rochelle.
But...
People in the way?
I think you can just move through allied spaces no problem, right?
Aside from like, charges.

Aerlin
...Sssssure.

Red Redford
yeah whatevs
youre the gm lmao

Drufle (GM)
I honestly never can remember that rule because it constantly changes from system to system.

Aerlin
Move it Red!!

Drufle (GM)
I know you're not allowed to in SotDL.
So, vital strike? I guess?
How do you people work...

Drufle (GM)
Diagonal spaces are normally fine.

Red Redford
but aerlins in the way

Aerlin
Cool step, bro.

Red Redford
how will i cast searing light

Drufle (GM)
You can exist in Navaya's square, remember.

Red Redford
i forgot the ruling

Drufle (GM)
She's tiny, you can share a square with her.

did you know that bralanis can cast cure serious wounds

Fun fact, spectres have a 2 level energy drain!
It's incredibly nasty!

Aerlin
Baddest touch.

Drufle (GM)
So, what next?
Move forward a bit more, or try and end it here?

Is in their neckys.
Some kind of injection?

Drufle (GM)
Possibly- each body has exactly two holes in their neck.

Aerlin
Oh. Vampires, then.

Red Redford
"How many Daylights have you prepared in your book of spells, Aerlin?"

Drufle (GM)
Hey, remember when those angry archer dudes at the beginning of the dungeon ran away from the gaseous form kitties in fear of vampires?
They had a pretty valid reason to do so.

Red Redford
foreshadowing...

Aerlin
"I have 22 castings left in this wand."

Red Redford
and not just a joke
fear. terror.
drufle has actually foreshadowed how each of us is gonna die

Aerlin
These faces...my god, they're US.

Red Redford
then who was us???

Drufle (GM)
Man, if only I was clever enough to make simulacra of all of you.

Drufle (GM)
I hope you know that daylight, ironically, does not count as daylight for destroying creatures weak to the sun.

Red Redford
o-oh
what!

Drufle (GM)
It acts as bright light for creatures weak to that (like cave-dwelling beasts).

Aerlin
They should really learn to Fear the Sun then.

Drufle (GM)
Also, you cast Daylight on an object.
Just like with normal Light.
What exactly do you want to know about vamps?

Red Redford
can we cast it on some garlic and throw it on some vampires

Aerlin
Worst nightmare.

Red Redford
their weaknesses in this system
and their mechanical effects

Drufle (GM)
Ok, uh, can't make attacks against creatures with holy symbols or mirrors, unless it makes a will save.
Bringing its hp to 0 doesn't kill it (unless you use daylight, running water, or a stake to the heart).
And it can't enter homes uninvited.

Red Redford
does an aqueous orc count as running water if it charges

Drufle (GM)
...
I uh.
I guess so.

Red Redford
you know what to do streak

Aerlin
I have no words, really.

Drufle (GM)
Running water does 1/3 a vampire's hp every round they're stuck in it.
So I guess you could just, like.
Have Blubbelson grapple the vampire and then run around for a while?

Red Redford
FUCK
this is great

Drufle (GM)
I can't let this not happen now.
Anyways.
Nothing else to be seen in G3.
Aside from a deleted encounter.

Aerlin
Then...down?

Drufle (GM)
Sure.

Red Redford
ok
oh and
does the stake have to be wooden
or can we just impale their hearts with a sword

Drufle (GM)
Wooden.

Aerlin
I can summon so many stakes.
Don't even worry my dude.

Red Redford
oh yeah
i forgot about those

Drufle (GM)
Also, they only remain dead while the stake is in them.

Red Redford
oh

Drufle (GM)
If it's removed, they return to life (unless their head is removed and doused in holy water).

Aerlin
Okay I don't know about the permancy of my spears.
Vampires are so complicated.
What the heck.

Red Redford
i still have 2 holy waters

Aerlin
These weaknesses are so specific.

Red Redford
maybe we shouldve gotten more

Drufle (GM)
This room is coated in dried blood (and fresh blood), along with multiple torture implements.
The whispering is incredibly strong here.

Red Redford
so steak with spear, decapitate and douse with holy water
got it

Aerlin
We have about 5 action plans against any vampiric threat.

Red Redford
i have a holy symbol but i dont have any spares so if we ever get surrounded youre all on your own

Drufle (GM)

Nah.

cool

He's ok.

Navaya
okay so not in stabbing range yet

Not really.
He does also have cold resist.
And electric.
I just noticed this now on his defenses sheet.

is this a new day?

They bypass DR, so that's something.
Yeah.

okay then well If that's the case I will pelt-oh for god's sake everyone's in the way

Ultimately we want Blubbelson to grapple him.
Navaya:
Navaya : Ice Spears
Spell Level: Witch (Winter Witch), 3
School: conjuration [cold]
Cast Time: 1 sa
Components: V, S, M (a small conical crystal)
Range: 45 (Close)
Effects/Target: 1 ice spear/4 levels
Duration: instantaneous
Save: Reflex half + see text DC: 18 Concentration: +17
Rolls
Caster Level Check +9 =11
Upon casting this spell, one or more giant spears of ice lance up out of the ground. Each stalagmite-like icicle affects a 5-foot square and tapers to a height of 10 feet. You may cause a number of ice spears equal to one spear for every four caster levels you possess to burst from the ground. A creature that occupies a square from which a spear extends (or that is within 10 feet of the ground below) takes 2d6 points of piercing damage and 2d6 points of cold damage per square—creatures that take up more than one square can be hit by multiple spears if the caster is high enough level. The explosive growth can also trip foes. When the spears erupt from the ground, they make a combat maneuver check against any targets that take damage from the spears, with a total bonus equal to your caster level plus your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier, whichever is highest. Each additional ice spear beyond the first that strikes a single foe grants a +10 bonus to this CMB check. If the check succeeds, the ice spears knock the foe prone. A successful Reflex save halves the damage and prevents the trip attempt.

If you cast this spell upon an area covered with ice or snow, such as atop a glacier, frozen lake, or snow-covered field, the spears strike with additional force. Saves against the effect suffer a –2 penalty and the spell gains a +4 bonus on its combat maneuver check to trip foes. Ice spears created by this spell remain after they do their damage. They melt as normal depending on the surrounding environment. They no longer damage foes in their square, but can provide cover. An ice spear has hardness 5 and 30 hit points.
there.

Drufle (GM)
Right, Reflex.
rolling d20+9 ( 19 )+9 = 28
That'd be a yes.

Navaya
augh

Aerlin
Sick flip, bro.

Drufle (GM)
So roll 8d6.

Navaya
rolling 8d6( 1 + 1 + 6 + 1 + 4 + 5 + 1 + 3 ) = 22

Drufle (GM)
So half from save, 22.

Red Redford
thats a lot of 1s

Navaya
its my punishment for being tardy

Drufle (GM)
And -10 from cold resists.
So, 1.

Red Redford
hey drufle to get mythic searing light i have to spend mp right

Drufle (GM)
Yep.

Red Redford
which is shouldve done from the start...

Drufle (GM)
It's the bralani's turn!

Red Redford
again!

Navaya
drufle can we just
redo that because

Red Redford
hes out of lightning now
so i wi-

Navaya
half of the damage is specifically piercing
and half cold
so part of it isn't affected by cold res

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, but it's two spears, so it gets affected by the resistance twice.
Or that's how I figured it would work.

Navaya
...I will fight this later when I don't have the onus of being late over my head
next spear.

Drufle (GM)
Bralani, go ahead.

Red Redford
full attacke
"Hail of arrows!"
wait can i do that

Drufle (GM)
Remember, he doesn't have precise shot, so he takes a -4 to each one.

Red Redford
full attack again

Drufle (GM)
You can indeed.

Red Redford
huh youre right
no deadly aim either

Drufle (GM)
Strange choice for an archery character, but oh well.

Red Redford
how about... melee

Drufle (GM)
Rush in if you so wish.

Red Redford
just on attacke then

Drufle (GM)
Yep.
The +13.

Red Redford
1 scimitar 20 (9/18–20)

Drufle (GM)
Well, that is a hit.
Not the best damage, but good enough.

Red Redford
i think i get +2 more from augment summoning
i forget

Drufle (GM)
Oh, yes.
Aerlin!
And Blubbelson!

Aerlin
"Blubbelson!! ....I BELIEVE in YOU!!"
That's my turn.

Blubbelson
"Good sir, I must insist on the greatest of hugs!"

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20+18( 10 )+18 = 28
THERE we go.
The vampire has been grappled, and Blubbelson runs into the wall...

Aerlin
A single tear runs down my cheek.
Which by the way, also counts as running water.
So back off, bub.

Drufle (GM)
And the vampire immediately takes 37 damage, which just so happens to be exactly how much hp he has left.
I shit you not.

Aerlin
Didn't that ghost also have exactly 37 left...?

Drufle (GM)
He had precisely a third of his hp left.

Red Redford
37 is the new weed number

Navaya
you know, when you said "weak to running water" I assumed you'd have blubbelson do laps of the room to upset the vampire

Drufle (GM)
The vampire screeches and crumbles into dust.
Well no, the vampire has to be immersed in running water.

Red Redford
bless

Aerlin
In water that is running.

Blubbelson
"Oh dear, the good man seems to have vanished!"

Navaya
yes red
bless now
so it doesn't come back

Aerlin
"And now must hug me."

Blubbelson
"Well, I can't say no to that!"
Blubbelson gives Aerlin an incredibly wet hug.

Aerlin
isn't this just beautiful

Navaya looks at aerlin and blubbelson hug it out, and goes back to sleep

Drufle (GM)
Also, you don't actually need to bless the vampire.

Navaya
"I am too tired for this..."

Drufle (GM)
Running water is one of three ways to instantly kill a vampire.

Navaya
that's. weird
but ok

Aerlin
Vampires are fucked up man.

Drufle (GM)
The other two being a stake to the heart and broad daylight.

Aerlin
We had access to all of those, kind of.

Red Redford
"Undeath makes monsters out of the mightiest of men."

Navaya
see I assumed discworld rules. so if you dripped blood in the ash pile it'd instantly reform

Drufle (GM)
Blubbelson waves and vanishes back into the aether.

Red Redford
even the bralani

Aerlin
"I'm going to miss him..."

Drufle (GM)
The bralani too, yeah.
Time's definitely up on his summon.

Red Redford
"Farewell, extremely handsome whirlwind..."

Navaya
"Oh he'll be back next time you need him"

Drufle (GM)
The vampire has a wand of Death Knell with 39 charges, a suit of shadow studded leather, and a vicious dagger.

Aerlin
"What cruel fate, I can only summon him once per day."

Red Redford
death knell eh
what is vicious dagger
lets see...

Drufle (GM)
G5a has nothing of interest in it.
Any of the rooms.

Red Redford
oh is the every 10 minutes effect still active

Aerlin
Death Knell is a cleric spell...

Drufle (GM)
It sure is!

Red Redford
maybe we gotta move away from here

Drufle (GM)
Although another 10 minutes have not passed yet.

Aerlin
Let's explore quickly, then.

Navaya
what's happening on an egg timer?

Drufle (GM)
Horrible whispers from the walls.

Aerlin
Whispering walls make us go mad
Lose CHA.

Navaya
I have so many questions

Red Redford
When a vicious weapon strikes an opponent, it creates a flash of disruptive energy that resonates between the opponent and the wielder. This energy deals an extra 2d6 points of damage to the opponent and 1d6 points of damage to the wielder.

Drufle (GM)
Normally happens every hour, but it happens every 10 minutes in G5/6.

Red Redford
oh
for masochists

Drufle (GM)
Yeah.

Red Redford
theres probably a build that can use self damage

Drufle (GM)
G6 is the room Theruk Nul (the vampire's name- Blubbelson wrote it down for you) was in.

Red Redford
raid it!

Aerlin
He wrote it on this soggy note.

Drufle (GM)
Inside is a gigantic pile of books covering broad swathes of information on both the Sarkorian Crusades, and various Outer Planes topics.

Aerlin
His handwriting is beautiful.

Drufle (GM)
It's 300 books in all, worth 2000 gp, and gives a +4 to both Society (History) and Religion (Planes) checks when referenced.

Aerlin
I love books.

Drufle (GM)
No other loot in these rooms.

Aerlin
Well, let's put these in the bag I guess.

Drufle (GM)
Book bag!

Aerlin
Hopefully that doesn't take too long.

Drufle (GM)
I think you guys will be fine.

Red Redford
i put the vampire loot in the treasure bag

Drufle (GM)
Righto.
So let's end here, then.

Aerlin
Let's get out of the crazy room.

Red Redford
smart vampo

Navaya
im sorry everyone again

Navaya helps cart out books

Aerlin
is fine

Red Redford
yeah its fine
these r scrub fights

Navaya
it's fine. everything's fine

Drufle (GM)
We got a lot of talking done which you should look into tomorrow after BW.
Or before, who cares.

Red Redford
with an alarming number of undead

Drufle (GM)
That'll be all for today.
See ya later, everyone.

Red Redford
