Drufle (GM)
better
alright whos ready to continue the longest campaign ever

Horanoven A.
sorry, I needed to make up for Ghesh

Rochelle Gwerm
Lets rock and roll

Drufle (GM)
we're probably gonna be tossing ghesh out soon anyway

Rochelle Gwerm
:(

Aerlin
"These whispers are giving me a headache."

Rochelle Gwerm
I can play Ghesh

Drufle (GM)
Also, we're on session 23.

Rochelle Gwerm
BEER?

Aerlin
"Let's get going."

Drufle (GM)
This session is as old as I am.

Rochelle Gwerm
"I want...to crush...whatever is making that whispering noise"
"Into the tiniest bits"

Drufle (GM)
So currently, the only direction you haven't gone is straight up from where you are now.

Rochelle Gwerm
I made a promise, and I shall fullfill it

Drufle (GM)
(also you can technically stop the whispering but none of you have the spells to do it)

Aerlin
I say we debate our options for half of an hour.
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Strength
Check: 17 +2 vs doors

Aerlin
Now, the obvious choice is to go up.
But what if we leave, and never come back?

Drufle (GM)
What a clever strategy.

Aerlin
I just think we should consider every option, you know.

Rochelle Gwerm
smash demons first
then we can leave
I want this whispering gone

Aerlin
Okay open the door Big R

Rochelle Gwerm
if this Cha damage gets any worse I'll lose access to my spells
"How much you wanna bet a demon is in the wall?"
Rochelle Gwerm : Perception
Check 22
PERCIEVE!!!

Drufle (GM)
The bars to the west are still quite intact; symbols glow around the rim of the door with a red light.
No such symbols seem to exist on the eastern side, and the bars have been torn away.

Rochelle Gwerm
I'll spellcraft that in a bit
do I see any danger?

Aerlin
I mean.
rolling 1d20+21 ( 8 )+21 = 29
Maybe I will instead.

Rochelle Gwerm
look I have to try at least

Drufle (GM)
:P
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Spellcraft
Check 16

Aerlin
An honest effort.

Rochelle Gwerm
its a skill that I actually have ranks in

Aerlin
What the heck are those!!

Rochelle Gwerm
WHAT ARE DOOOOOSE

Aerlin
I'll stay back, though.

Drufle (GM)
Aerlin... just barely understands the runes, I think.

Aerlin
Could be a trap.

Rochelle Gwerm
Vhat iz zis?

Drufle (GM)
I don't quite remember how this DC works.
The western cell seems to be completely covered in an incredibly powerful antimagic field.

Rochelle Gwerm
the DC is "not high enough to beat the smartest person in the world"
god damn that
is a +21
wtf

Drufle (GM)
It sure is.
Aerlin is so good at skills.

Rochelle Gwerm
I need to get on this int train
I've been left behind and its starting to become a problem

Drufle (GM)
The whispering seems to be slightly quieter in this room, but is still rather present.

Rochelle Gwerm
sigh

Aerlin
"An anti-magic field...they must have kept a spellcaster in this cell...?"

Drufle (GM)
Hey, look at Aerlin with the deductive reasoning.
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Perception
Check 16

Aerlin
Does the field only affect the inside of the cell, or this room?

Rochelle Gwerm
what is in the cell?

Drufle (GM)
Just that cell.

Rochelle Gwerm
or did we already get that?

Drufle (GM)
The cell is currently empty.
You guys haven't been up here yet.

Rochelle Gwerm
well alright
I'll leave it alone then

Aerlin
How about this other cell?

Drufle (GM)
By the way Aerlin, your spellcraft is a +22.
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Perception
Check 17

Drufle (GM)
Not a +21.

Rochelle Gwerm
I'll check here instead

Aerlin
I do note that we are now out of map to explore?
So that's interesting.

Drufle (GM)
Hm, curious!
This room, G4a.
Feels intensely peaceful.

Rochelle Gwerm
of course the last room we visit is the one we needed to go to
its a trap isn't it
Rochelle is not pleased

Drufle (GM)
Well you can't really see what's in there if you don't walk inside.

Rochelle Gwerm
there's no door
I can see just fine
Low Light Vision

Drufle (GM)
I mean in the sense that you do not have line of sight to most of the room.

Rochelle Gwerm
"..."

Aerlin
You have to hit the cutscene trigger, Rochelle.

Rochelle Gwerm
dammit fine

Rochelle Gwerm pokes her head in, weapon in hand

Rochelle Gwerm
"If this is a trap, just get it over with"

Aerlin
Just put your foot over the trigger.

Drufle (GM)
The whispering stops entirely, and the abyssal tension preventing teleportation weakens.

Rochelle Gwerm
would I have felt that?
"..."

Drufle (GM)
A little bit, but not really.

Aerlin
Do I still hear the whispers?

Drufle (GM)
Yes.

Rochelle Gwerm
"Sweet silence"

Aerlin
Interesting.

Rochelle Gwerm
"I never thought I would miss that"

Drufle (GM)
Something has carved butterflies into the walls of this cell.

Aerlin
"Silence?"
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Religion
Check 9
dammit

Drufle (GM)
Hundreds and hundreds of butterflies coat the wall.

Aerlin
"Oh hey, would you look at that."

Drufle (GM)
Rochelle thinks they look very nice.

Rochelle Gwerm
it was worth a shot

Drufle (GM)
On the northern wall, something akin to a prayer has been carved.

Aerlin
"..And they're back again."

Rochelle Gwerm
probably a 50/50 or whatever

Drufle (GM)
Rochelle... probably can't read it?

Rochelle Gwerm
"This is nice and all...but now what?"
what is it in?

Drufle (GM)
It's in Celestial.

Aerlin
Hello.
I know 40 languages.

Rochelle Gwerm
I don't even know what languages I know

Drufle (GM)
Did that handout pop up?

Aerlin
It did.
"Oh wow..."

Rochelle Gwerm
"Eh?"
also SPHERES

Aerlin
"Someone looking for redemption, it seems, as well as their freedom."

Rochelle Gwerm
they mention spheres
"Huh"

Aerlin
If the teleportation lock is weaker here...

Rochelle Gwerm
seems like they got out

Aerlin
I mean, I'm not sure what to do with that, but it's interesting.

Rochelle Gwerm
none of us can teleport, last I checked

Aerlin
Anything else in here...?

Drufle (GM)
Nothing.

Aerlin
I sort of can, but where would I Dimension Door to?

Rochelle Gwerm
so uh...care to religion this so we know who this person was praying to?

Aerlin
rolling 1d20+19( 5 )+19 = 24

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, Aerlin could, like, dimension door within the room.
For all that's worth.
Hey, a success!

Rochelle Gwerm
woo

Drufle (GM)
This is pretty obviously a prayer to Desna.

Rochelle Gwerm
sounds like a good person

Drufle (GM)
The CG goddess of dreams and freedom.
And stars, to some extent.
Her holy symbol is a butterfly, so, that makes sense.
And no, there is nothing else in this area.

Rochelle Gwerm
welp

Aerlin
Covering the walls, huh? That's intricite.

Rochelle Gwerm
I wasn't here last time so I'm totally lost

Aerlin
Did they carve the ceiling out?

Drufle (GM)
There's less up there, but there's still some up there.
Whoever did this was pretty tall.
Or could fly or something.

Aerlin
Was it you

Rochelle Gwerm
surprise twist

Drufle (GM)
Yes, it was totally me.
I hope you guys are ready for my shocking self-insert character.

Aerlin
Well, I'm glad you got out.

Rochelle Gwerm
so Drufle, are you a cleric or a paladin of Desna?

Aerlin
Let's leave this room I guess.

Drufle (GM)
I probably wouldn't be a worshipper of Desna.

Aerlin
Hrm...

Drufle (GM)
Shame our resident perceptioner ain't here.

Rochelle Gwerm
CHARGE

Aerlin
I'd like to not go inside this one, really.
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Strength
Check: 12

Drufle (GM)
Nice.

Rochelle Gwerm
god damn it

Drufle (GM)
Roch kinda slaps into the bars.
They wiggle.

Rochelle Gwerm
even with the +2?
Aerlin:
Aerlin : Strength
Check: 4

Drufle (GM)
Bud, these are magically reinforced iron bars.

Aerlin
Hng...

Drufle (GM)
No, a 14 will not break them.

Rochelle Gwerm
hmmm

Drufle (GM)
I'm just gonna

Rochelle Gwerm
I could try to Juggernaut them

Aerlin
GHESH WE NEED YOU

Drufle (GM)
send the only person that can proceed us along to the right spot.

Aerlin
RED.
GET BACK HERE.

Rochelle Gwerm
CHARGE
woah

Aerlin
"You look like you have an idea, Red?"
He nods.
Probably.

Rochelle Gwerm
Drufle is a man of many faces

Red Redford
"I think there's gotta be a secret door somewhere... Joran works at a furnace, where is it?"

Rochelle Gwerm shrugs

Aerlin
Let's recheck G3 then.
All those little cells, one might be a path.
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Performance
Check 20
Drufle (GM):
default Red Redford : Perception
Check 34

Rochelle Gwerm
Rochelle helped

Drufle (GM)
Hm, nothing seems to be secretive in here.

Rochelle Gwerm
hnnng
Rochelle Gwerm : Perception
Check 4
dammit

Drufle (GM)
FACEPLANT
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Perception
Check 5
Drufle (GM):
default Red Redford : Perception
Check 29

Rochelle Gwerm
this is better

Drufle (GM)
Oh, what's this?

Rochelle Gwerm
vhat iz zis?

Drufle (GM)
A small soft spot in the wall depresses, and a door slides open.

Rochelle Gwerm
"well then"
"how'd we miss this befor?"

Drufle (GM)
Nobody rolled perception.

Rochelle Gwerm
what?

Aerlin
"Who puts a secret door this early on...?"
"That's just poor dungeon design!"
"I'm not bitter."

Rochelle Gwerm
"Someone who just wants to get around?"
Rochelle Gwerm : Perception
Check 20

Drufle (GM)
This door leads through a small hallway, leading to what seems to be a balcony.

Rochelle Gwerm
why do I roll high when it really doesn't help?

Drufle (GM)
A cage hangs high up, offering movement downwards.
Incredibly intense heat surges from below.

Rochelle Gwerm
an elevator?
"What is this thing?"
how far down is it?

Drufle (GM)
20 feet, and there are bars in the way.

Aerlin
Hmm, is the heat bearable?

Drufle (GM)
And below you...

Rochelle Gwerm
and what is the elevator's weight capacity?

Aerlin
It says right there on the label.

Rochelle Gwerm
Nagaji?

Aerlin
3 Persons Max.

Drufle (GM)
Four lizards seemingly made of lava work at a forge.
Also the heat is barely bearable- in addition, you feel like it's being magically suppressed up here.

Aerlin
Hrm...

Rochelle Gwerm
yes I can totally feel that

Aerlin
"Rochelle, one moment."

Rochelle Gwerm
"Yeah?"

Aerlin
I wonder if I can cast something to help here...

Rochelle Gwerm
its fine, I'm made of rock

Aerlin
I have Resist Energy, but that's just for one person.

Drufle (GM)
You can just use a 3rd level slot.

Rochelle Gwerm
probably should give that to the tank and keep the rest of the party from getting burned

Drufle (GM)
Cast communal Resist Energy with wild arcana.

Rochelle Gwerm
oh that works
but that's MP

Drufle (GM)
Yeah.

Rochelle Gwerm
MP is harder to hold onto now

Drufle (GM)
That heat will do 1d6 fire damage every round, though.

Aerlin
Better than us burning up.

Drufle (GM)
Take it or leave it.

Rochelle Gwerm
fair point

Aerlin
Okay, gather round, lads.

Rochelle Gwerm
when does fall damage start, drufle?

Drufle (GM)
After 10 feet.

Rochelle Gwerm
dang

Drufle (GM)
So you'll take, I believe, 2d6 if you jump down there.

Rochelle Gwerm
that's not so bad
its just...what else happens?

Drufle (GM)
You fall prone.

Rochelle Gwerm
that is what I'm worried about

Drufle (GM)
If you take any damage from a fall, you land prone.
Granted, G'hesh doesn't actually need resist energy, since she has fire 10 anyway.

Aerlin
Can the lift only hold one person?

Rochelle Gwerm
definitely get Navaya some resist
she's weak to fire

Aerlin
Is she

Rochelle Gwerm
I think she is

Drufle (GM)
She is not.

Rochelle Gwerm
oh nvm

Aerlin
Well, I'm gonna cast Fly to get down.

Drufle (GM)
The lift can hold 4 medium creatures, and takes 2 full round actions to reach the bottom.

Aerlin
Navaya will be fine to fly down too.

Rochelle Gwerm
but what is its weight limit?

Drufle (GM)
shrug

Aerlin
I'm thinking Red stays up here and summons/shoots.

Rochelle Gwerm
what if
hmmm

Aerlin
Casters fly down

Rochelle Gwerm
yeah just

Aerlin
You two in the lift.

Drufle (GM)
Red can deal, probably.

Rochelle Gwerm
have the casters stay up behind the bar

Aerlin
We all pop out when you reach the bottom.

Rochelle Gwerm
okay so, strategy time

Aerlin
Ambush!

Rochelle Gwerm
Summon a ton of stuff first so we can get down without them spitting at us

Aerlin
I cast Communal Endure for Fire
on all

Rochelle Gwerm
because they'll probably have some kind of ranged weapon
thank you

Aerlin
Then Fly on myself.

Rochelle Gwerm
bring the Ghesh over here
so we can get ready to go down once Red summons

Drufle (GM)
What to summon...

Aerlin
I'm wondering though, you'll take two rounds to go down.

Rochelle Gwerm
yeah
that's what I'm worried about

Aerlin
Should Red summon once you hit the bottom.
Will they notice you before you get there?

Rochelle Gwerm
it'll be loud enough that they'll know
I think
that's my main concern is that once they know we're here I want some cover for me an Ghesh

Aerlin
If they're working away...

Rochelle Gwerm
we'll find out then
we can check
start heading down, if they react then summon

Aerlin
I'll keep an eye on them....
Could I ready a Sleep spell?
Cast it on whoever starts to notice? Assuming they dont all notice at once...

Drufle (GM)
I'll just, uh, preempt that by saying Sleep will absolutely do nothing.
Remember that 4 HD limit?

Aerlin
I forgot.
Crud.

Rochelle Gwerm
thank you drufle
I forgot as well

Drufle (GM)
Sleep is pretty much useless from now on.

Rochelle Gwerm
hoooo boy okay

Aerlin
Why do I still prep that...

Rochelle Gwerm
uhhh
for cultists?
"We ready?"

Aerlin
Deep Slumber, then.

Rochelle Gwerm
actually
Knowledge check first
because we don't know what we're fighting

Aerlin
What will I roll?

Drufle (GM)
Question, how do we feel about a savage ankylosaurus?

Aerlin
Can I pet it?

Rochelle Gwerm
sounds like a great idea, Drufle

Drufle (GM)
Religion, Aerlin.

Aerlin
rolling 1d20+19( 7 )+19 = 26

Rochelle Gwerm
these rolls

Aerlin
Man, I'm really below average today.

Drufle (GM)
They're salamanders.

Rochelle Gwerm
oooh
demonic?

Drufle (GM)
Classic forgemasters from the Plane of Fire.

Rochelle Gwerm
huh, maybe they're not evil
those sound like neutral creatures

Drufle (GM)
(they're evil)

Aerlin
Yeah but who pays their paycheck?

Drufle (GM)
Red's Detect Evil says so.

Rochelle Gwerm
it was worth hoping

Aerlin
What about their pension!

Rochelle Gwerm
we've officially spent to long messing around up here

Aerlin
Okay, let's go!

Rochelle Gwerm steps onto the lift

Rochelle Gwerm
"How uh...how do I get this to move?"

Aerlin
It can't be that hard.
Press ground floor.
Or is it floor 1?

Rochelle Gwerm
I think we're below ground floor

Aerlin
B3??

Drufle (GM)
Go!!!

Aerlin
I operate the lift.

Rochelle Gwerm
drufle stop moving monsters into the visible field
we can see those

Drufle (GM)
I'm making a pog for the dino!

Rochelle Gwerm
ah okay
right so
down we go
?

Drufle (GM)
You get halfway down.
The salamanders very immediately notice.

Rochelle Gwerm
"Hail and well met!"

Aerlin
Spring into action!

Rochelle Gwerm
the plan is now

Drufle (GM)
So, uh, initiative?

Rochelle Gwerm
I thought Red would drop it as a surprise
oh well

Aerlin
rolling 1d20+7( 18 )+7 = 25
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Initiative
Check: 2.01 Drufle (GM):
default Red Redford : Initiative
Check: 27.15

Rochelle Gwerm
oh that is not what we like to see
uhhhh
woops
I guess I stumble
Drufle (GM):

Navaya
Initiative
Check: 28.08

Rochelle Gwerm
this is fine
we'll mostly go first
Drufle (GM):
G'hesh Nhot : Initiative
Check: 5.04 ...

Rochelle Gwerm
except the tanks

Drufle (GM)
Boy, that elevator sure is slow, huh?

Rochelle Gwerm
tanks go nowhere
yeah

Drufle (GM)
What's your dex? 8?

Rochelle Gwerm
mine?

Drufle (GM)
Yes.

Rochelle Gwerm
yeah

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20+2( 3 )+2 = 5
They rolled a 5 and are going before both of you.
Amazing.

Rochelle Gwerm
we crit failed
I think they win regardless

Aerlin
By the way you have Resist 20
to Fire

Drufle (GM)
Even if we weren't using that house rule, they would still go first.

Rochelle Gwerm
oh nice

Drufle (GM)
They are much more dextrous than G'hesh.
Anyway, Navaya!
Uhhh.
Wait, what am I doing.
Ice spells.

Rochelle Gwerm
turn tracker?

Drufle (GM)
It's up.

Rochelle Gwerm
its kinda empty to me
hrm

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, that was a weird bug we experienced last time.
We're not sure what's up.

Rochelle Gwerm
well alright
I'm after Ghesh

Drufle (GM)
It looks totally fine eto me.

Rochelle Gwerm
that's all I need to know
sling some snowballs

Drufle (GM)
How about an Ice Storm?

Aerlin
I also only see Red and the enemies on it.
Weird.

Rochelle Gwerm
that sounds like a much better option than what I suggested
that's what I see as well, Aerlin

Drufle (GM)
Let's see, it's a 20 ft radius cylinder.

Rochelle Gwerm
goodness

Drufle (GM)
There we go.
So they all get reflex saves.
1727927
Wow.
Two of them are very fine.
rolling 3d6 ( 6 + 1 + 6 ) = 13

Drufle (GM)
rolling 2d6( 4 + 6 ) = 10
So that's... 33 damage to two of them, and 16 to two others.
They are greatly displeased by this.
Red!
So, summon.

Rochelle Gwerm
god damn it not even this room is big enough for my rock storm
there he is
look at im

Drufle (GM)
One sec, what can he do...

Rochelle Gwerm
go get em, little dino

Drufle (GM)
Let's kill the lowest lizard.

Aerlin
'Little'?

Drufle (GM)
Since he got hit pretty hard by the ice.

Rochelle Gwerm
yes Aerlin

Aerlin
He's 9 squares big!

Rochelle Gwerm
yes
I see that

Drufle (GM)
1728
22
rolling 3d6+14 ( 6 + 4 + 6 )+14 = 30
rolling d20+10 ( 3 )+10 = 13
Right, that lizard takes 30 damage and is dazed for his round.

Rochelle Gwerm
one big hit to the head

Drufle (GM)
Aerlin!
Dazed, by the way, means he can't take any actions.

Aerlin
Hello!

Drufle (GM)
This ankylosaurus is terrifying, by the way.

Aerlin
What's in this room, anyway?

Rochelle Gwerm
he's a good dino

Drufle (GM)
Every time he hits someone they have to make a DC 25 fort save or be dazed.

Aerlin
rolling 1d20+11( 8 )+11 = 19

Drufle (GM)
A forge!

Rochelle Gwerm
well shit how about that

Drufle (GM)
That giant glowing ball of lava should've tipped you off.
Also it's, like, insanely abyssal here.
The chaotic and evil feelings are very strong.

Aerlin
Any guns?

Drufle (GM)
Nope.
Also...

Aerlin
Probably not.

Drufle (GM)
rolling d6( 2 ) = 2
Forgot the dino needs his fire damage.

Rochelle Gwerm
he's cold blooded, this is a buff if anything

Drufle (GM)
:P
Aerlin flies into the air!
Oh whoops, I also forgot one other thing.
That bottom lizard also has 1 bleed damage.

Aerlin
I think I'll try...Hold Person.

Drufle (GM)
Interesting idea, give it a shot.

Aerlin
On the top one, there.

Drufle (GM)
Will save?

Aerlin
It's a wand, so I'm not sure what the DC is
It's will, yes.

Drufle (GM)
Usually determined like a potion.
I.e. assume minimum CL.

Aerlin
It's level 3 wizard.

Drufle (GM)
So CL 5.

Aerlin
What's the DC, then

Drufle (GM)
One sec.

Rochelle Gwerm
last I checked CL didn't effect DC

Drufle (GM)
It doesn't, no.
So I'm trying to figure out how it works.

Rochelle Gwerm
its 10 + Spell Rank + Casting Mod

Drufle (GM)
I think it just uses your DC?
So 20.

Aerlin
18+3 no?

Drufle (GM)
Er, 21.
Yeah.
rolling d20+6 ( 13 )+6 = 19
Whoop, there he goes.

Rochelle Gwerm
yay

Aerlin
It gets a new save each turn to break it.

Drufle (GM)
Yeah.
So he's just paralyzed.
Yikes.

Aerlin
So get over there and smack it if you can.

Rochelle Gwerm
paralysis is such a nasty effect

Drufle (GM)
Their turn, then.

Rochelle Gwerm
I'm still on the thingy
and I can't drop rocks now

Drufle (GM)
So bottom lizard is dazed, top is paralyzed.

Rochelle Gwerm
because you and the dino are down there

Drufle (GM)
The other two salamanders cannot reach anyone, so...

Rochelle Gwerm
also no matter what I do I hit a friendly

Drufle (GM)
Hit the dinosaur!

Rochelle Gwerm
actually way
wait
keep going I need to check something
oh, the spell is 20 feet high
everyone else is 20 feet high
or more

Drufle (GM)
20259291813
Two of those hit.

Rochelle Gwerm
strong dino

Drufle (GM)
rolling 2d8+10+2d6( 8 + 6 )+10+( 1 + 1 ) = 26

Rochelle Gwerm
wow

Drufle (GM)
He takes 16 damage due to his epic DR.

Aerlin
Totally..........epic...........

Drufle (GM)
Alright, they're done.
G'hesh!
Um.

Rochelle Gwerm
G'hesh is kinda stuck up here

Drufle (GM)
Little bit.
Should she crank the lift?

Rochelle Gwerm
???
to keep it going or?

Aerlin
You gotta crank.
You absolutely must crank.

Rochelle Gwerm
yeah have her crank

Drufle (GM)
I mean, it takes two full-round actions.

Rochelle Gwerm
I can actually do something

Drufle (GM)
So if she does it you'll be on ground level.

Rochelle Gwerm
alright

Drufle (GM)
Next stop, Basement 3, salamanders and evil smithing!
Roch is up.

Rochelle Gwerm
okay so i have a choice
attack or rocks
Aerlin how high up are you?

Aerlin
Well, those three are distracted...
I flew level with the balcony.

Drufle (GM)
20 feet I assume, she probably didn't go down at all.

Rochelle Gwerm
actually let me just
hmm
if I don't rock no ghesh will be in the way
fuck it, rocks

Aerlin
The paralysed dude is helpless.
Up to you, though.

Rochelle Gwerm
screw it
kill this guy
its too tempting
coup de grace
what do I roll?

Aerlin
Heads, probably.

Drufle (GM)
You don't.
You automatically crit.
This is assuming you're using a normal attack and not a vital strike.

Rochelle Gwerm
4d8 + 24

Drufle (GM)
Roll away.

Rochelle Gwerm
wait, bloodrage then attack
rolling 4d8+30 ( 3 + 5 + 4 + 1 )+30 = 43
for even more damage
rolling 1d6 ( 5 ) = 5
acid

Drufle (GM)
Right, so he now needs to make a DC 58 fort save or die.

Rochelle Gwerm
good luck mate

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20+10( 18 )+10 = 28
Hey, only 30 off!

Aerlin
What if he crit?

Drufle (GM)
Saves don't automatically succeed.

Aerlin
Aw.

Drufle (GM)
Only attack rolls and CMB rolls do.

Aerlin
That'd have been funny.

Drufle (GM)
So yeah, he's gone.

Rochelle Gwerm knocks the salamander down to the ground and crushes his skull under her greatclub

Rochelle Gwerm
brb for a sec I need a tissue

Drufle (GM)
You're lucky salamanders aren't technically elementals.
Otherwise he'd be immune to CdG's.
Anyway, Navaya!
Uhhh.
Let's have her fly out and cast a flurry of snowballs.
So more Reflex saves for these poor nutters.

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20+7( 7 )+7 = 14
rolling d20+7 ( 7 )+7 = 14
Wow.
Two failures.
rolling 4d6 ( 4 + 1 + 1 + 6 ) = 12
24 damage each.

Drufle (GM)
Red's turn, time for a dino.
Full attack on top right.

Aerlin
At some point Drufle is just having a fight with himself.

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20+16( 17 )+16 = 33
rolling d20+16 ( 4 )+16 = 20
It's kinda ridiculous.

Aerlin
Battle your inner demons, Drufle.

Drufle (GM)
rolling 6d6+28( 2 + 1 + 6 + 6 + 5 + 3 )+28 = 51

Aerlin
Almost literally in this case.

Drufle (GM)
That salamander is plastered.

Rochelle Gwerm
glad I got back in time to see that

Drufle (GM)
Red shoots the top left one.
default Red Redford : Radiance
Attack 20 vs AC
Damage 6
2nd Attack 16 vs AC
Damage 9
Type: P

Ranged Notes
+1 to attack and damage rolls within 30 ft.
+2 to attack rolls on flanked targets

(DA
-2 hit, +4 damage

RS
+1 attack, -2 atk roll)
So... 11 damage.
If I was paying more attention, I'd have used Bane.
But I did not do that.
Aerlin!

Aerlin
Sorry I was watching a Dark Souls video.
In-character.
Hmm...
I'll Magic Missile the right one.
(Why do I always forget the roll for this...)

Rochelle Gwerm
I think its three missiles now?

Aerlin
5 if I'm casting it
I am not sure about the wand i have.

Drufle (GM)
I'll have to look up wand stuff later.

Aerlin
I'll just shoot three then??

Drufle (GM)
Sure.

Aerlin
rolling 3d4+3( 3 + 1 + 1 )+3 = 8

Rochelle Gwerm
at this point I think the anklyosaurus could
have solo'd this

Drufle (GM)
He's uh.
Awfully powerful.
Considering he's only CR 7/MR 1.

Rochelle Gwerm
dino's man

Drufle (GM)
Salamander turn!
Well, uh.
...

Rochelle Gwerm
surrender?

Drufle (GM)
I don't think they're generally the surrendering type.
He'll probably just leap into the fire.

Rochelle Gwerm
hey man, its their life

Drufle (GM)
Let's see if the dino doesn't just aoo him to death.
rolling d20+16 ( 13 )+16 = 29

Rochelle Gwerm
oh dear

Drufle (GM)
rolling 3d6+14( 4 + 4 + 6 )+14 = 28
Whoops he totally does.
So that happened.

Rochelle Gwerm
the salamander fleed, the dino objected

Drufle (GM)
The ankylosaurus roars a bit.

Rochelle Gwerm
the dino's argument was hard to work around
"YEAH!!'"

Aerlin
I want to ride it but I also respect it too much.

Rochelle Gwerm
"I DID BASICALLY NOTHING"

Aerlin
"Rochelle, you killed a man!"

Rochelle Gwerm
"And the dino killed who knows how many"

Aerlin
"A salaman."
I cast Hideous Laughter.

Drufle (GM)
Also it occurs to me that this ankylosaurus should be celestial and thus have smite evil.
And SR.

Rochelle Gwerm
of course

Aerlin
Can Red still summon celestial here?
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Perception
Check 4

Drufle (GM)
Because his summons are SLAs and not actually spells, they are not impeded here.
Nice job, Roch.

Rochelle Gwerm
yaaaaay...

Aerlin
rolling 1d20+11( 10 )+11 = 21
I am...painfully average.

Drufle (GM)
Let's see...
The two circular rooms are just storage.

Aerlin
Do I spot anything from up here?

Drufle (GM)
Mundane metal is up there.
Aside from the very large forge?

Rochelle Gwerm
anything up here?

Drufle (GM)
No, just the double doors to the southwest.

Rochelle Gwerm
is this a passage?

Drufle (GM)
Doors, glorious doors!

Rochelle Gwerm
so many options!
remember what the dwarf said though

Aerlin
By the way, this fire protection only lasts 20 minutes.
I did not pack any heat resistance meals either.

Rochelle Gwerm
ah, should probably use it

Aerlin
Unless you all have skimpier clothing??

Rochelle Gwerm
we need Cold Drinks
Rochelle Gwerm : Perception
Check 7
shrug

Aerlin
I'm in my Gerudo outfit now.

Drufle (GM)
G9 is a gigantic pile of crappy weapons and armor.
It's worth, uh, 10 Goods.

Rochelle Gwerm
cool beans
just uhhh

Aerlin
That's good.

Rochelle Gwerm
add that to the account
while I deal with this down here

Aerlin
The dino can't fit in here...

Rochelle Gwerm
dino is guarding our backs
Rochelle Gwerm : Perception
Check 10

G'hesh Nhot stares up at the dinosaur.

Drufle (GM)
This room is full of forging equipment.

Aerlin
They're like dragons right??

Rochelle Gwerm
how many goods?
yes red please save us

Drufle (GM)
None, really.

Rochelle Gwerm
I cannot see for shit

Drufle (GM)
Pretty mundane stuff.
default Red Redford : Perception
Check 21
Oof.

Aerlin
What did the guy say again?

Drufle (GM)
Uh, about what?

Aerlin
There was a passage down in this room.

Rochelle Gwerm
the only way forward is through the forge

Drufle (GM)
Yeah.

Aerlin
Not...literally, right?

Rochelle Gwerm
"..."
"Dwarf man said its through here?"

Aerlin
The fire protection is not good enough for that.
Drufle (GM):

Navaya
Perception
Check7
Nice.
So, I guess you guys can't see the giant double doors in the bottom left of the room?

Rochelle Gwerm
okay so, there is something in G8 and we suck too badly to get it

Aerlin
No.

Rochelle Gwerm
there we go

Aerlin
They're the same colour as the wall.

Rochelle Gwerm
thank you drufle

Aerlin
That's poor interior design.

Drufle (GM)
Oh good.
I'm gonna warn you right now.
This is a fight, and it's gonna be a little rough with just the two of you.
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Perception
Check 15
do I hear anything?

Drufle (GM)
Not really, the doors are pretty thick.

Rochelle Gwerm
we have dino and G'hesh it'll be fiiine

Drufle (GM)
Alright.

Rochelle Gwerm
dammit, I don't have a reason to buff
uhhh
hmmm

Aerlin
That person looks important.

Rochelle Gwerm
oh dear

Drufle (GM)
Right, so.
You're standing at the top of a small dais, leading down into the weird chamber.
Stairs lead away in two directions.
Lit candles form a circle in the bottom left of the room.
A large crystal hangs overhand, pulsing with red light.
Some kind of ritual is being performed.

Rochelle Gwerm
ROCKS
I DROP ROCKS

Drufle (GM)
Initiative!

Aerlin
rolling 1d20+78( 15 )+78 = 93

Rochelle Gwerm
nooo I need the surprise round

Aerlin
Uh.

Rochelle Gwerm
:(

Aerlin
Oops.

Drufle (GM)
Nice one.

Aerlin
22, then.
Drufle (GM):

Navaya
Initiative
Check: 15.08 Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Initiative
Check: 17.01 Drufle (GM):
G'hesh Nhot : Initiative
Check: 16.04 default Red Redford : Initiative
Check: 27.15

Rochelle Gwerm
ya'll broke the turn order again
who am I after?

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20+4( 19 )+4 = 23
Currently, you're after Aerlin.

Rochelle Gwerm
multiple people, great

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20+3( 11 )+3 = 14
Right, good.
Red!

Rochelle Gwerm
summon the dino!

Drufle (GM)
Time to squeeze this Dino through the door.

Rochelle Gwerm
or that works too
I'll get down low
let the dino just walk on past

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20+7( 4 )+7 = 11
Close enough.
Greetings, friend demon!
rolling d20+16 ( 2 )+16 = 18
Not enough, sadly.

Rochelle Gwerm
hmmm

Drufle (GM)
Red just moves up.
Demons!
Full attack the dino!
Or two of them do so.
23142518920
One of those hit.

Rochelle Gwerm
this dino

Drufle (GM)
rolling d10+4( 3 )+4 = 7
2 damage, and he needs a fort save.
rolling d20+14 ( 8 )+14 = 22
He's fine.
Aerlin!

Aerlin
Anything I can roll on that crystal?

Drufle (GM)
It's a evil-themed lamp.
Not actually anything magical.

Aerlin
Well...isn't that nice?
Where'd they buy that?
Ikea??

Drufle (GM)
Evil Walmart.

Aerlin
Oh shit.

Rochelle Gwerm
no assembly required

Aerlin
What about this ritual?

Drufle (GM)
Well, it seems pretty damn interrupted now.

Aerlin
Well, that was the plan.
I'll cast Haste on everyone.

Rochelle Gwerm
sweet

Drufle (GM)
Oh dear.

Aerlin
Everyone's 30 ft apart so that's handy.

Rochelle Gwerm
including the dino?

Drufle (GM)
The dino does not require haste, but would appreciate it nonetheless.

Aerlin
That's 9 rounds then.
I think I'll just fly up as high as I can, and that's me.

Drufle (GM)
Right.
Roch is up.

Rochelle Gwerm
okay, my turn?
so uh
about that ritual
its covered in rocks now
sorry

Aerlin
Rude...

Rochelle Gwerm
I think that's a Reflex Save to half?
and that his
hits
all the demons

Drufle (GM)
I imagine it doesn't allow SR?

Rochelle Gwerm
nah
rocks fall

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20+4( 2 )+4 = 6
22819

Aerlin
Psst...I think that lady is a spellcaster...

Drufle (GM)
Those were the demons.

Rochelle Gwerm
the rocks will distract

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20+10( 15 )+10 = 25

Rochelle Gwerm
I think my DC is pretty low

Aerlin
Her hands....they're glowy...
What could it mean??

Drufle (GM)
It's probably like 13 or something.

Rochelle Gwerm
I'll say anything 19 or higher made it
rolling 2d6 ( 4 + 4 ) = 8
the ground is now difficult terrain

Drufle (GM)
Righto.

Rochelle Gwerm
and I assume the ritual setup is completely ruined

Aerlin
"Rocks!"

Drufle (GM)
It was already ruined when the demons left the circle, but it is super ruined now.

Rochelle Gwerm
"Rocks fall! Everyone...is slightly annoyed"

Drufle (GM)
G'hesh!

Rochelle Gwerm
I'll rage as well
since that's Free

Drufle (GM)
She probably should've been closer.

Rochelle Gwerm
slowly join the battle

Drufle (GM)
She's here now.
Navaya will also move up.
The weird lady!

Rochelle Gwerm
I don't know if rocks hinder her in any way

Aerlin
It occurs to me that this dinosaur isn't nearly feathery enough.
It's a crime, really.

Rochelle Gwerm
looks like she's upset

Aerlin
Cool line, mate.

Drufle (GM)
Right, the dino and the two of you (and two of the demons) need to make reflex saves.
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Reflex
Save: 14

Save Notes
+2 to Will Saves against insanity and confusion

Aerlin
Me?

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20+7( 4 )+7 = 11
Yes, you.

Rochelle Gwerm
beams

Drufle (GM)
She's firing a lightning bolt straight across the room.

Aerlin
B-but I'm so high...

Drufle (GM)
Oh.
Flying.

Rochelle Gwerm
oh right

Drufle (GM)
Fair point.

Rochelle Gwerm
she's UP
I am not though
so ow

Aerlin
That is a nasty spell.

Drufle (GM)
1112
Literally everyone fails their save.
rolling 10d6 ( 1 + 1 + 4 + 5 + 1 + 5 + 4 + 6 + 4 + 2 ) = 33
Have some damage.

Rochelle Gwerm
didn't even drop me below triple digits

Drufle (GM)
She actually obliterated some demons...

Aerlin
Wow, weak...
Poor demons.

Drufle (GM)
Wait.
What am I dong.
Doing.

Aerlin
The one thing they don't resist...heartbreak.

Drufle (GM)
They're immune to electricity.

Rochelle Gwerm just shrugs

Aerlin
Well, their feelings are still hurt.

Drufle (GM)
Red!
Time for another hella slam.

Rochelle Gwerm
if only the dino had Greater Cleave

Drufle (GM)
He uh.
He does have power attack.

Rochelle Gwerm
well that's something

Drufle (GM)
I think he's at the -2, +4 mark.
That sounds fine to me.

Rochelle Gwerm
CR 7, probably has BAB 7

Drufle (GM)
332226

Rochelle Gwerm
holy shit

Drufle (GM)
All of those hit the demons.
302434

Rochelle Gwerm
now that's just excessive

Aerlin
I'm glad you're on our side, Drufle.

Drufle (GM)
Squish, squish, one guys survives.

Aerlin
Wait...
???

Drufle (GM)
Red fires at the lady!

Rochelle Gwerm
he split the attacks

Aerlin
Well, whatever.

Drufle (GM)
Let's play "What does this spell do!"

Rochelle Gwerm
rough terrain set
all of that is rocks
say what is the ground like?
Drufle (GM):
default Red Redford : Radiance
Attack 21 vs AC
Damage 11
2nd Attack 15 vs AC
Damage 4
Type: P

Ranged Notes
+1 to attack and damage rolls within 30 ft.
+2 to attack rolls on flanked targets

(DA
-2 hit, +4 damage

RS
+1 attack, -2 atk roll)

Rochelle Gwerm
nice shot
did he Bane?
he should have

Drufle (GM)
One hit, one near miss...
I'll pretend I did.
rolling d8 ( 3 ) = 3

Rochelle Gwerm
excellent

Drufle (GM)
Two blurred images of the lady leap out in front of her and take the arrows.

Rochelle Gwerm
mirror image?

Drufle (GM)
Yes.

Rochelle Gwerm
well that's 2 down then

Drufle (GM)
Correct.

Rochelle Gwerm
out of 8

Drufle (GM)
Remaining Schirs!
Full attack the dino, I suppose???
14301920
The crit...

Rochelle Gwerm
damn

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20+10( 9 )+10 = 19
No confirm.
rolling d10+4 ( 5 )+4 = 9

Rochelle Gwerm
it bought them a hit though

Drufle (GM)
4 damage it is.
Fort save...
rolling d20+14 ( 1 )+14 = 15
Oh dear.

Rochelle Gwerm
oh shit

Drufle (GM)
He has... a disease!

Rochelle Gwerm
oh

Drufle (GM)
Which literally doesn't matter, why am I rolling this.
It has an onset of one day.

Rochelle Gwerm
pffft

Drufle (GM)
I just realized.
Whatever, Aerlin!
Go!

Aerlin
Hmmmmmm.

Rochelle Gwerm
dispel magic?

Drufle (GM)
I mean, it should be noted that only effects with attack rolls can hit the images.
Anything that forces a save will just hit her.

Rochelle Gwerm
can the images not be dispelled?

Drufle (GM)
I don't believe so.

Aerlin
Her Will save is probably higher than her Fort or something.

Rochelle Gwerm
bring forth the miasma

Aerlin
I wonder if this is serious enough for Suffocation
Would like her alive, though.
What do you think?

Rochelle Gwerm
Rochelle wouldn't care
we don't know what this lady is capable yet
so we don't know how urgent this is

Aerlin
I mean, it might not kill her, anyway.
I do need to get 45 ft within her range though.
I am high up, so that probably affects the distance

Rochelle Gwerm
I think she has enough range to hit you with anything
she didn't last time because she wasn't aiming at you

Drufle (GM)
Trigonometry doesn't exist in this world.
Hypotenuses are for suckers.

Aerlin
Oh, okay, then.

Drufle (GM)
(it does actually but it doesn't matter all that much)

Aerlin
Okay, Suffocation is a DC23 Fort save.

Drufle (GM)
Yikes, ok.
rolling d20+8 ( 19 )+8 = 27
Whoa hoh.
A success!

Rochelle Gwerm
shit

Aerlin
Okay...so you...
You're staggered for one round.

Rochelle Gwerm
doesn't that keep going though?

Aerlin
I;m not sure.

Drufle (GM)
It keeps going if it succeeds the first time, I think.

Rochelle Gwerm
very well then!

Aerlin
That's two more tries of that then.

Drufle (GM)
Rochelle, you're up then.

Aerlin
My turn is done for now though.

Rochelle Gwerm
I'm going to waltz over to here and cast...
Enlarge Person

Drufle (GM)
Alright.

Rochelle Gwerm
size me up, boss
"GREETINGS SMALL MORTALS"

Drufle (GM)
G'hesh's turn, then?

Rochelle Gwerm
I realize I missed some fast healling
I'll deal with that right now
roll 6d1

Drufle (GM)
G'hesh is getting closer.

Rochelle Gwerm
rolling 6d1( 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 ) = 6
okay good

Drufle (GM)
Navaya's turn!

Rochelle Gwerm
oh dear
pls don't smush them

Aerlin
Why is her token...squished?
pfft

Drufle (GM)
Because dragging it is difficult.
Uhhhhh...

Rochelle Gwerm
this is why there are no Tiny races

Drufle (GM)
How about mathematical curse?

Rochelle Gwerm
she has that???

Drufle (GM)
Yeah.

Rochelle Gwerm
sure, go ahead???

Aerlin
What a nerd.

Drufle (GM)
First, lady gets a will save.
rolling d20+11 ( 7 )+11 = 18

Rochelle Gwerm
her luck has run out it seems

Drufle (GM)
That... just passes.
Rats.

Rochelle Gwerm
god damn it

Drufle (GM)
Weird lady's turn!

Rochelle Gwerm
oh right, difficult terrain is probably slowing G'hesh down

Drufle (GM)
Rochelle, please roll a reflex save.

Aerlin
Is she Storm from X-Men
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Reflex
Save: 21

Save Notes
+2 to Will Saves against insanity and confusion
pls be enough?

Aerlin
The similarities just now occur to me.

Drufle (GM)
That's fine, yes.

Rochelle Gwerm
yay

Drufle (GM)
You are now encased in ice!

Rochelle Gwerm
excuse me, reflex save

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, you're not helpless.
Be thankful!
You are, however, entangled.

Rochelle Gwerm
half speed?

Aerlin
Well, remember you're hasted.

Rochelle Gwerm
oh right
so I can still get over to her

Drufle (GM)
Half speed, no charging, -2 to attack rolls, -4 to dex.

Rochelle Gwerm
fucking shit
more dex

Aerlin
Chilling.

Drufle (GM)
You also take 10 ice damage every round for 10 rounds.

Aerlin
Oh dear.

Drufle (GM)
So take that damage.

Aerlin
What spell was that?

Drufle (GM)
Icy Prison, a 5th level spell.
Nasty stuff.
Golurk, if you're here, it's your turn.

Aerlin
We'll get you some warm cocoa after the fight.

Rochelle Gwerm
so I'm at 2 dex right now

Drufle (GM)
Ohhhh dear.

Aerlin
That's...pretty bad!

Golurk
brief me

Rochelle Gwerm
I'm cold
evil lady is down there
dino is awsome
that's about all you need to know

Drufle (GM)
Tiefling wizard, couple of demons, very good ankylosaurus.
Currently your turn.

Golurk
arright

Aerlin
Rochelle is big but partially frozen.

Drufle (GM)
We found a cell with carvings of butterflies and a prayer (now stored in the handouts), we killed a bunch of salamanders in that forge above this room.

Aerlin
I'm flying.

Golurk
lets ankylosaurus one of those demons then

Rochelle Gwerm
why just one?
hit both of them
full attacks can be split

Aerlin
You're also hasted.

Rochelle Gwerm
and this thing gets 3 attacks

Aerlin
Both you and dino.

Drufle (GM)
He is currently hasted, and has both the savage and celestial templates.

Golurk
oh it has more? neato

Rochelle Gwerm
and kills these things in one hit

Golurk
hit the one with lower hp once

Drufle (GM)
He has 3 attacks in his full attack at the moment, one from savage and one from haste.
All at full BAB.

Rochelle Gwerm
rolling 1d1( 1 ) = 1

Golurk
then hit the one with higher hp twice

Drufle (GM)
Gotcha.

Golurk
do the latter first

Drufle (GM)
Should I use power attack?

Golurk
yea

Drufle (GM)
3415
Oh.
Intriguing.
26

Rochelle Gwerm
can we nooooot with the crit fails

Golurk
LMAO

Drufle (GM)
Crit confirms.
32
Crit fail does not fail.
rolling 6d6+26 ( 3 + 5 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 6 )+26 = 44
Crunch.

Golurk
jesus

Drufle (GM)
Final attack on the other demon.

Rochelle Gwerm
I know right?

Red Redford
i mean
jesus

Rochelle Gwerm
good dino

Drufle (GM)
For shits and giggles, let's smite evil this last demon.

Aerlin
Does Jesus exist here?

Rochelle Gwerm
probably

Red Redford
jebus

Rochelle Gwerm
CR 30 something

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20+14( 11 )+14 = 25

Red Redford
theres an oracle arcthetype for that
like literally

Drufle (GM)
rolling 3d6+28( 4 + 4 + 3 )+28 = 39
Squish.

Red Redford
its dealing so much damage!

Aerlin
Jesus oracle.

Rochelle Gwerm
the dino cannot be stopped

Drufle (GM)
He has +12 damage base.

Rochelle Gwerm
OH, the lady has Mirror Image up
that's actually imprtant

Drufle (GM)
+2 from augment summons, +4 from power attack, +10 from smite eivl.

Aerlin
Hey. Does that lady think she's going to win
Like. Dude, teleport the heck out of here.
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Perception
Check 17

Drufle (GM)
Red, do you yourself want to do stuff?

Red Redford
mirror image gives "evasion" right

Drufle (GM)
No.

Rochelle Gwerm
I think sense motive is perception

Red Redford
what it do

Drufle (GM)
Effects with an attack roll have a chance of just not hitting her.

Red Redford
yeah thats why i put quotes

Drufle (GM)
She currently has 5 images, so any attack roll has a 1/6 chance of hitting her, even if you succeed.

Red Redford
like pokemon evasion
dango

Drufle (GM)
Yeah.

Rochelle Gwerm
does that apply to CMBs?

Red Redford
can i dispel it

Drufle (GM)
Yes.
No.
You can use spells with saves.
Those just flat-out ignore the images.

Rochelle Gwerm
so its a 1 in 6 chance no matter what I do...

Red Redford
i... can't dispel it?

Drufle (GM)
I mean, maybe?
I honestly don't know how dispel magic works.
Nobody ever uses it.

Rochelle Gwerm
it removes magical effects
I think

Aerlin
Can I 'dispell' my spells and rearrange the letters

Rochelle Gwerm
it probably could get rid of the images

Drufle (GM)
Ok, you just make a CL check.

Red Redford
whats the purple square

Rochelle Gwerm
difficult terrain

Red Redford
my last queston before i move

Drufle (GM)
The DC is 21 for your dispel check.
If you want to try that.

Red Redford
oh ok, ill let aerlin do that if she wants
then im gonna...

Rochelle Gwerm
you could shoot at her
chip away the images
you took out 3 already
I think

Drufle (GM)
2.

Red Redford
oh i can do that
sure

Rochelle Gwerm
hasted so 3 attacks I think

Red Redford
didnt know that was an option

Drufle (GM)
(i forgot the haste attack)

Rochelle Gwerm
okay 4 attacks
Red Redford:
default Red Redford : Radiance
Attack 15 vs AC
Damage 5
2nd Attack 14 vs AC
Damage 6
Type: P

Ranged Notes
+1 to attack and damage rolls within 30 ft.
+2 to attack rolls on flanked targets

(DA
-2 hit, +4 damage

RS
+1 attack, -2 atk roll)

Rochelle Gwerm
gotta make up for the lost shots

Drufle (GM)
(im playing like 4 characters at once gimme some slack)

Red Redford
full attack

Drufle (GM)
Both of those miss, but they're both near-misses so they destroy images.

Rochelle Gwerm
wow those rolls are bad
oh okay
another attack?
I think haste attack is full bab
Red Redford:
default Red Redford : Radiance
Attack 32 vs AC
Damage 4
2nd Attack 14 vs AC
Damage 7
Type: P

Ranged Notes
+1 to attack and damage rolls within 30 ft.
+2 to attack rolls on flanked targets

(DA
-2 hit, +4 damage

RS
+1 attack, -2 atk roll)

Drufle (GM)
Just that first attack, then.
It's a hit, but...

Red Redford
yep!

Drufle (GM)
rolling d4( 2 ) = 2
It does not hit her.

Rochelle Gwerm
3 remain
or is that 2

Red Redford
i didnt Nhot hit her!

Drufle (GM)
Two.

Red Redford
i did Nhot!!

Drufle (GM)
Aerlin's turn!

Aerlin
How about that suffocating?
I'm guessing she tries the save again now?

Drufle (GM)
You have to cast it again.
I checked, if she succeeds the whole 3 round duration thing doesn't happen at all.
She just gets staggered for a round.

Aerlin
Oh, okay.
Then what should I do...

Drufle (GM)
If you want her to choke, you gotta cast it again.
Magic missile bypasses mirror image.

Aerlin
Well, I only prepped it once, so nope.

Drufle (GM)
Just sayin'.
Or whatever other save spells you might have.

Aerlin
I gueessss.

Rochelle Gwerm
how about...Manic Missile?

Drufle (GM)
Already used the discombobulator today.

Rochelle Gwerm
darn

Aerlin
Would be fun, but yeah, that.
I'd still like her alive, so let's just try Deep Slumber...if she's 10HD?

Drufle (GM)
Give it a shot, she has exactly 10.
Oh, will save.
rolling d20+11 ( 5 )+11 = 16
Whoops.

Rochelle Gwerm
welp

Aerlin
24 DC

Rochelle Gwerm
"..."

Drufle (GM)
Guess that 108 hp won't save her now.

Rochelle Gwerm
"GET THIS ICE OFF OF ME"

Drufle (GM)
(you can break it with a str check)
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Strength
Check: 11 ...

Drufle (GM)
Nevermind.

Aerlin
I tie her up and gag her. Don't want any of that spell casting.

Drufle (GM)
You do no such thing.
Wise lady.

Rochelle Gwerm
can I try again next round?

Drufle (GM)
Uh, I guess so?

Rochelle Gwerm
tell me when

Aerlin
And I have a great idea, actually.

Drufle (GM)
It might actually be pretty hard, the DC is 25.
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Strength
Check: 25 RAAAAA

Drufle (GM)
Ah.

Aerlin
We're gonna put her in that cell, and interrogate her there.

Drufle (GM)
Oh my.
Look at the thinking going on here.

Rochelle Gwerm flings ice all over the place in anger

Aerlin
We should move her quickly, though, I don't think this sleep lasts long.
We can ungag her once she's in the cell.

Rochelle Gwerm
I'll just pick her up
easy peasy

Drufle (GM)
Righto.

Rochelle Gwerm
...
wait a minute...

Drufle (GM)
Pfffft.

Rochelle Gwerm
let me think about this
I'll just
climb back up

Drufle (GM)
Sure.

Rochelle Gwerm
20 feet high and I'm 16 feet tall

Aerlin
Sorry about having you kind of wasted that spell.

Red Redford
interrgation???

Drufle (GM)
Man, now I actually have to pretend this lady is important.

Rochelle Gwerm
I've got 2 more slots, its fine

Aerlin
Well, let's find out about the ritual she was doing at least.
Red Redford:
default Red Redford : Influence
Check 25

Rochelle Gwerm
if she's not important than it fine

Drufle (GM)
The tiefling kinda jerks awake.

Aerlin
Well Drufle stop letting me take them alive!

Rochelle Gwerm
we live and we learn

Aerlin
Have them self destruct or something.

Drufle (GM)
:P

Red Redford

Drufle (GM)

Nice one, Roch.

Rochelle Gwerm has ice on her lips

Rochelle Gwerm
its very distracting

Drufle (GM)
I think I'm actually going to say a 25 isn't enough to make her indifferent.
We can get some info out of her, but not much else.

Red Redford
"Hello! How are we doing today."

Aerlin
rolling 1d20+7( 1 )+7 = 8

Drufle (GM)
Guys.
Please.

Rochelle Gwerm
lets just

Aerlin
Okay I guess she doesn't like me.

Rochelle Gwerm
leave Red to this

Aerlin
For SOME reason.

Red Redford
"Feeling comfortable?"
Drufle (GM):

Navaya
Influence
Check27
Ah.

Rochelle Gwerm
pixie to the rescue

Aerlin
They're both elemental-ish.

Red Redford
maybe i should have used the +20 wis thing

Drufle (GM)
Navaya just stares her down.

Rochelle Gwerm
MP is more difficult to regain now

Drufle (GM)
We're playing bad cop good cop.
She is the most bad cop.

Rochelle Gwerm
she's probably not important enough to burn MP on

Drufle (GM)
Right, uh, what info can she even give out.

Red Redford
oh i forgot the new rule

Aerlin
How can I make this bullying situation more comfortable for you?

Red Redford
what was it again

Drufle (GM)
Half tier every day.
Instead of up to full.
So currently 1/day.

Rochelle Gwerm
we need some ADVANCE INTERROGATION TECHNIQUES

Red Redford
o
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 =23
Concentration Check =29

Cast Defensively DC

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

Drufle (GM)
Ah.
Right.

Red Redford
whats the question guys

Aerlin
Can I just say
She is inside an anti magic cell

Rochelle Gwerm
Red maybe save that spell
for the above reason

Red Redford
lma
o
i know nothing...
ok ok
normal interrogation

Drufle (GM)
Right, so, her name is Chorussina.

Aerlin
It's pretty.

Rochelle Gwerm
Chorizo?

Drufle (GM)
She's a middle-aged tiefling with levels in wizard and demoniac.

Aerlin
That's not a real class, come on.

Red Redford
"That's quite a name, milady."

Drufle (GM)
Good luck turning her because she literally has a class feature that condemns her soul to Deskari.

Aerlin
Milady...

Rochelle Gwerm
"Someone say Chorizo?"

Red Redford
"I don't think that has been invented yet."
"Whatever that is."

Drufle (GM)
Gosh, what does she know...

Rochelle Gwerm
"Now are you an expert on spiced pork now?"

Drufle (GM)
I guess I can tell you about the ritual.
It was kind of a scorched earth plan that was gonna amp up the demonic rifts around Drezen to throw the entire citadel into the Abyss.

Aerlin
Well that's not very nice.

Red Redford
"Yikes lady, that's a bit overkill."

Rochelle Gwerm
well that would've thrown a wrench into our plans
imagine if that happened while we were here

Drufle (GM)
In case you're wondering, this is why I recommended against just taking like a week in camp to heal up.

Aerlin
Game over indeed.

Drufle (GM)
So, uh, that's literally all she knows.

Aerlin
What does she know about the shadow demon?
Are they coffee buddies.
Do they hang out.

Drufle (GM)
She knows very little about Euystoriax.

Red Redford
they knit animals together

Drufle (GM)
She's just the seneschal of the citadel, and never did much with the local politics.

Red Redford
like live animals

Rochelle Gwerm
"So...now what do we do with her?"

Drufle (GM)
She just kinda did demonic house cleaning.

Red Redford
well it is an antimagic cell

Aerlin
Hey, wanna join Good or whatever?
We'll find you a new class.

Red Redford
"Are you, like, 100% positive that you don't want to come with us."

Drufle (GM)
She kinda literally can't.
The only way to turn her would be to kill her, and then make a CL check to drag her soul away from the Abyss to resurrect her.

Aerlin
Well, that's.
Doable.
Probably.

Red Redford
the ethical dilemmas

Rochelle Gwerm
do we have a spell for that?

Aerlin
We could try later on, maybe.
In like, a bunch of levels.

Red Redford
we couldnt possibly know all that though

Rochelle Gwerm
we can't really keep her around until then, though
she's a magic person

Drufle (GM)
You'd have to make a Religion check to figure that out in-game.

Rochelle Gwerm
we don't know what she has left prepared

Red Redford
well she a wizard
we just have to take away her book

Aerlin
rolling 1d20+19( 16 )+19 = 35

Drufle (GM)
Oh.

Rochelle Gwerm
she can use scrolls

Drufle (GM)
I guess Aerlin does know how to do that.

Red Redford
now we kno

Rochelle Gwerm
she gets her hand on any rune and we're in trouble again

Aerlin
"My, you've really commited yourself to evil, then."
"Your soul's all messed up."

Drufle (GM)
That's pretty much what the demoniac prestige class is about, yes.

Aerlin
"Any regrets?"

Drufle (GM)
She was living pretty well here.
That really nice bedroom up above was hers.
The one in the northwest towers.

Aerlin
Yeah but, what about sunsets, and meadows?
I get the feeling she's beyond help.

Drufle (GM)
She's a conjuration expert, she can make her own.
I mean, she's not completely beyond help.
But the amount of effort required to turn her is probably not worth a throwaway character.

Red Redford
"Well we can't have your soul turning into another demon, can we?"

Rochelle Gwerm
the means to save her are beyond us at the moment

Red Redford
"I feel like she has to be alive for as long as possible."

Drufle (GM)
None of you guys have any resurrection magic anyway.

Rochelle Gwerm
"Maybe we can just...leave her for a bit?"
"I dunno what to do with her and I'd rather not get iced again"

Red Redford
"Is this cell secure?"

Drufle (GM)
Very.
Rochelle Gwerm:
Rochelle Gwerm : Spellcraft
Check 12

Drufle (GM)
The antimagic field is CL 20 and the bars are magically reinforced iron.

Rochelle Gwerm
how very?

Red Redford
"Anyone got some grub?"

Rochelle Gwerm pulls off her backpack

Rochelle Gwerm
"Maaaybe?"

Aerlin
We probably brought some.
...We do eat, right?

Red Redford
"You can go, uh, do your business in the corner there."
we are ageless beings with no use for food

Rochelle Gwerm
"This is a lot of effort towards someone who tried to dump and entire citadel into demon-land"

Drufle (GM)
I would also advise against spending too much time in here.
Remember the whispers?

Rochelle Gwerm
right lets head on out
before more whispers

Red Redford
"So, uh, bye."

Aerlin
Back to it then?

Rochelle Gwerm
"I'm gonna leave the whisper zone, if you don't mind"

Drufle (GM)
Right, by the way.

Rochelle Gwerm
are the whispers down here too or have they stopped?

Red Redford
everyone ok with continuing?

Drufle (GM)
They're still here.

Rochelle Gwerm
god damn it
"these GODS-DAMNED WHISPERS"

Drufle (GM)
That vertical wall in the top left of the big room has a large stone archway.
Just as a note.

Aerlin
Interesting.

Rochelle Gwerm
might be a secret
someone Perceive it once

Drufle (GM)
Make a spellcraft check to find out!

Aerlin
There is a door on this one. Maybe it's symetrical

Drufle (GM)
It feels magical.

Rochelle Gwerm

Drufle (GM)
This archway quite obviously used to be a portal, but was shut off some time ago.
It hasn't been used in a while.

Aerlin
"Wonder who used this."

Red Redford
"Elves?"
"Elves love portals."

Rochelle Gwerm
"Probably...Dwarves?"

Aerlin
"Someone important to warrant such powerful magic."

Rochelle Gwerm
"This place was made by drawves, right?"

Drufle (GM)
No.

Rochelle Gwerm

Aerlin

Drufle (GM)
This entire lower section was made by the cultists.

Rochelle Gwerm
ah

Drufle (GM)
The upper castle was made by dwarves.
That sure is a good perception roll that I don't know what it's for.

Rochelle Gwerm
Ghesh, sweety, I need you to move
thank you

Aerlin
When do you get small

Drufle (GM)
After 9 minutes.

Rochelle Gwerm
its a 9 minute duration

Drufle (GM)
Which shouldn't be much longer, honestly.

Red Redford
do i have heroism up

Rochelle Gwerm
most likely

Drufle (GM)
Considering you guys walked all the way across the dungeon and back.

Rochelle Gwerm
you wanna-there we go
back to normal

Drufle (GM)
You do not, Red.
Alright, uh, big room.

Red Redford

There are 5 smaller alcoves with murals depicting Deskari savaging various deities; Iomedae, Sarenrae, Torag, Desna, and Shelyn.

Red Redford

Drufle (GM)
The larger alcove is a shrine to Deskari.
At the very end of the hallway...

Rochelle Gwerm
you want me to smash this?

Aerlin
"What an egotist."

Red Redford
"Cursed objects."

Drufle (GM)
Is a massive iron framework holding a red banner.

Rochelle Gwerm
"This guy is very violent"
"Moreso than me"

Aerlin
So...

Rochelle Gwerm
"soooo..."

Aerlin
Is that the banner?

Red Redford
brb getting lunch
mimic!!!

Rochelle Gwerm
"what color was this thing we were supposed to be after?"

Drufle (GM)
It's red.
Red with a longsword through a sun.

Aerlin
I am.

Rochelle Gwerm
sense magic?

Aerlin
So suspicious.

Drufle (GM)
I mean, if you want to.

Rochelle Gwerm
"I am...going to smash whatever is holding it"

Aerlin
I can inspect the area.
"Rochelle, be cautious."

Rochelle Gwerm
Isn't a shadow demon supposed to be guarding this?
Red, Detect Evil!

Drufle (GM)
Red is getting lunch, but sure.

Rochelle Gwerm
its what he would've wanted

Drufle (GM)
But use it on where? It's not infinite radius.
It's like 30 feet.

Rochelle Gwerm
check the walls
as we go
and the floor
and the ceiling

Drufle (GM)
I mean, everything is pretty evil.
Remember, the entire dungeon is strongly chaos and evil aligned?

Rochelle Gwerm
the shadow demon is probably in the wall and Red can sense different power levels

Aerlin
Is this DBZ now

Rochelle Gwerm
yes
how else does Rochelle grow in size?

Aerlin
I guess you do have kaioken

Red Redford

Drufle (GM)
Red does not detect any abnormalities in the evilness of this area.

Earthen Shield creates a shield of stone shards that hovers in front of you. It negates magic missile attacks directed at you. The disk also provides a +4 shield bonus to AC. This bonus applies against incorporeal touch attacks, since it is a force effect. The shield has no armor check penalty or arcane spell failure chance.

Red Redford

"Ok, who wants to volunteer in taking that banner."

Rochelle Gwerm
"Is it anything like that bow you have?"

Red Redford
Four of them point to the tallest one.
"Okay then!"
"Off you go."
"This is for The Greater Good."

Rochelle Gwerm
I am so glad summons are not actually here

Red Redford
"The Greater Good!" They all exclaim.

Rochelle Gwerm
just projections

Red Redford
One of them touches it.

Rochelle Gwerm
Drufle you have control off the dogs

Rochelle Gwerm
she saw Fear

Drufle (GM)
You're not entirely sure what was varied about it.

Aerlin
And its source? Was it the banner?

Drufle (GM)
Yes.
The banner is an illusion.

Rochelle Gwerm
"Welp, trap, wonderful"
"GREAT"

Aerlin
If the effect is over, then we're okay.

Red Redford
it was actually a demons benis sticking out of the wall
prankd

Aerlin
Ghesh ain't doing great though.

Drufle (GM)
I think we should probably wrap up here anyway.

Aerlin
Healing you tanks is a big ask.

Rochelle Gwerm
"I am SO TIRED OF TRAPS"

Aerlin
I have more heals, should I use them?

Drufle (GM)
The final boss is coming up pretty soon, and Mopp isn't here.

Rochelle Gwerm
alright

Aerlin
Should we...go rest?

Rochelle Gwerm
At this point maybe

Drufle (GM)
If you want to.

Rochelle Gwerm
we've stopped the ritual
if there is another one than they earned it

Drufle (GM)
By the way, the hound archons are fine.
The trap specifically doesn't affect outsiders.

Red Redford
weird

Rochelle Gwerm
hey hold on

Red Redford
oh worm

Rochelle Gwerm
I'm an outsider

Aerlin
They can't heal, can they?

Drufle (GM)
You're a native outsider, we determined that doesn't count :P

Red Redford
cant

Rochelle Gwerm
it totally counts

Drufle (GM)
You passed anyway, shush.

Rochelle Gwerm
if the trap says outsider, then it says outsider

Aerlin
Drufle for reference do I declare my defense thing before the rolls?

Drufle (GM)
I'll check.
Yes.

Aerlin
Alright then.

Drufle (GM)
And we'll finish up next time.
When book 2 finally ends.

Red Redford
YAY

Rochelle Gwerm
I...miiiiight be able to make next saturday
I'll be late though

Aerlin
I can't wait to finally shop again, at Evil Walmart.

Drufle (GM)
Alright, everyone out.
