Chronicles of the Silver Rose Company

Game Master Patrick Curtin

This campaign is my attempt to play a canonical Planescape campaign using the updated Pathfinder ruleset. The game actually predates the release of Pathfinder, but we have managed to update as we have needed.


11,801 to 11,850 of 17,350 << first < prev | 232 | 233 | 234 | 235 | 236 | 237 | 238 | 239 | 240 | 241 | 242 | next > last >>

"There's a lot of debris back here. I can make sure these guys have a really bad time if you want," she whispered, prepared to back Merle up if they needed to fight off the incoming group.


Human Wiz 12 (Evocation)

'Hang on. Stand by, let me see what Karrin has in mind.' Justin Whispers to the group out back.

Justin leans in close to Karrin and speaks normally, but softly.

"Hey Karrin, Merle and Nari have clear shots at the guys sneaking in the back. Do you want them to take them out? Or is there a way we can send the goon squad to deal with it so we can all get in here and solve this mystery?"


female Tiefling 12th level Duskblade

"Let's quickly get in position to offer aid should things go south," Karrin says back, "Most of our front line are in here, and should our guests survive the initial barrage, and as nasty and as hard hitting as Merle and Nari are, I'd rather not risk loosing them if these guys are nasty tough."

Karrin quickly moves to where the team suspects the sneaky signers are trying to breach at.

"Okay, tell them to bring the fire and pain," Karrin says as she runs over.


Human Wiz 12 (Evocation)

'Karrin says, 'Bring the fire and pain'. We'll back you up.' Justin Whispers to the group out back. The smile he tries to hide is probably clearly recognizable in his voice.

"Can you assist me? I sense a swirl of kinetically charged viridian energies in this vicinity. I need help narrowing down the planar wavelength." He says aloud to Ekuur while gesturing towards the suspected breach entrance. Just in case any of their suspicious 'friends' are listening at the doorway.

Wasn't our 'ranger o' doom' outback with team sneaky? I'm pretty sure he'll be happy if the ladies leave him anyone to play with. :)


Male Human (Athasian) Cleric 10

"Of course," Ekuur responds simply to Justin. "What do you need from me?"


Female catfolk sorceror 11

"Okay lets do it."

Dc 18 Refex as she puts a lightning bolt through as many as possible

8d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 4, 6) = 34


female elan Psion (Kineticist) 10

Nari picks up every bit of debris her mind can handle in the alleyway and hurls it at the approaching group, her eyes glowing a brilliant green as she did.

To hit (up to eight targets):
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Damage is at the discretion of the GM.


Bribes always welcome

LOL yikes I'm out at dinner but I will try and find my notes and pull this together soon!


Female Human Cavalier 8 (Order of the Dragon)

Rhiannon stands with her weapons ready, prepared to charge into whatever remains standing after the first wave of destruction dished our by Nari and Merle


female Tiefling 12th level Duskblade

I think there could be a problem with that Rhiannon, namely we're inside and the fight is outside, but I believe the attackers were looking to crawl though holes in the walls to get inside, so we might be able to assault our opponents by doing the same.


Human Wiz 12 (Evocation)

Yes, I think they were planning to use the same 'hole in the wall' that we used the one time we managed to sneak in. So standing ready in case they run from the attack into here would still work! :)


Bribes always welcome

Naridre's attack launches through the rainy gloom. Chunks of ancient tombstones and crumbled masonry fly and strike the approaching men. Many are hit, and there is a group of muffled groans. A cry rings out:

"They've lanned us! Rush the wall!"

Initiative for outside folks please

The creepers stand up and charge towards the ancient church

Meanwhile ...

Inside the group stands in a large hushed room. Distant sounds of fighting echo off the walls. Karrin can hear the cries outside, and finds a crumbled hole that leads out into the dark wet thicket of the ancient graveyard. A dozen dark-clad men stand and rush towards her position.


Female catfolk sorceror 11

(Merle get any with the lightning bold?)

Init

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22


Human Wiz 12 (Evocation)

As the clatter of rocks and the flash/report of the lightning bolt echoes in the gloom, Justin pulls out his own wand of lightning and holds it towards the hole.

"Like shooting fish in a barrel,..." He murmurs to Karrin.

Justin will gently nudge Karrin so that she is off center to the hole. He will then wait until the first one is climbing through, with the others crowded closely behind trying to get inside. Might as well get as many as possible with the first shot. :)


Bribes always welcome

sorry goofed!

hit: 1d4 ⇒ 2

two of the black clad runners are zapped by Merle. One goes down hard

"They've got a dazzler!"


female Tiefling 12th level Duskblade

Karrin gets ready to swing at anyone stupid enough to stick their head through the hole, using the flat of her axe of course, she wants some answers after all . . . and dead men tell no tales.

Attacks (if needed): attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
damage: 1d12 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 8 + (4) = 15 (4 of that is cold damage)

2nd attack (if needed):attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
damage: 1d12 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 8 + (3) = 21 (3 of that is cold damage)

Note: attacks don't factor in any bonuses like height or defender being prone


Human Wiz 12 (Evocation)

Justin stands back far enough to not be in the way of Karrin's axe.

But he still plans on lightning bolt-ing the intruders as they try to enter first. Karrin can have the rest. :)


Male Human (Athasian) Cleric 10

Ekuur holds back a bit. He will carefully look around, and if no Athar are nearby, he'll retrieve his scroll of bear's endurance and cast it on himself.

Init

1d20 + 7

You have the initiative. Now, on to a thorny question. I think James might not be checking the boards. I am going to reach out to him via FB and see if he is still interested in playing. He was outside with you guys if I remember correctly?? I will DMPC him for now until this is over. Post your actions

The attackers seem to have stopped advancing and look to be seeking cover


Female catfolk sorceror 11

Merle un leashes magic missiles splitting them up to hit the two most wounded looking targets, before backing up a bit hoping to put some terrain between herself and them.

Missile pair 1 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 2 = 5

Missile pair 2 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 2 = 5

I think I saw that James had posted just yesterday . . . however he hasn't posted here for quite some time, it's possible that he doesn't even know this game has stared up again.


Bribes always welcome

I chatted with him, he is sort of busy, so I think I will have to DMPC him for a bit. I should be able to post up somewhere this weekend


Human Wiz 12 (Evocation)

Busy? I know that feeling! ;P Tell him not too worry, well keep his seat warm! ;)


female Tiefling 12th level Duskblade

"I need a report," Karrin whispers over to Justin, "What's going on outside? Are they still trying to get in or are they charging our team?"


Human Wiz 12 (Evocation)

Justin nods, tilts his head a little, and whispers.

"Merle? Nari? SOMEbody? What's happening?"


Female catfolk sorceror 11

"Were blasting them exactly as we planned." Merle whispers back


female Tiefling 12th level Duskblade

"Does she need help?" Karrin whispers.


Human Wiz 12 (Evocation)

"They're blasting, caught them by surprise I think. Waiting to see where they run, away or to try and get inside."


female elan Psion (Kineticist) 10

Nari focuses her attention on whichever of the attackers is closest to her position, the air around her starting to crackle and fill with the scent of burnt ozone right before she unleashed a blast of electricity straight at his chest.

Manifesting Energy Push (electricity) with an extra 2 pp augment.

Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 6) = 13; Ref DC 18 for half and Strength check DC 18 or pushed back 5 feet+ an extra 5 feet for every 5 points of damage it takes. If it hits a wall before it gets to that distance then takes an additional 2d6 from impact.

"As promised, they are having an unpleasant time," she whispered in response to Justin's request for an update.


Human Wiz 12 (Evocation)

"Try to herd them towards the building. We'll bottle neck them as they're trying to get inside." Justin whispers back.

"They're working on it. Trying to get them to run for cover. In here if they can manage it. They don't need help. Yet." Justin updates Karrin hastily.


female Tiefling 12th level Duskblade

Karrin nods and waits.


Bribes always welcome

Ugh. very busy and dealing with a lot of crap. Let's see how things go here ...

ref: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Nari's attack his one of the attackers and he flies back, striking an ancient monument with a sickening *crack*

Issac draws his bow and sights

Ranged +12/+7 Mwk Comp. Longbow (1d8+2, x3)

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 301d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 31d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 201d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

He feathers two sprinters.

Suddenly, the remaining advancers decide to break. They scamper off, dodging between the old stones

MEANWHILE

The cries of battle sound out from both ends of the large room. Karrin sees the battle outside through the narrow rubble-choked tunnel. The folks closer to the entrance hear a pitched sword battle going on at the door. Suddenly, the atmosphere changes in the room. There is a presence of something in the room. The hairs on their necks start to rise. A voice rings out, but it is not vocalized, it rings within the brains of those in the room.

**WITNESS THE BIRTH AND SURVIVE THE TRIAL OF THE LORD OF MISTS**

The world seems to dissolve. Those in the room suddenly find themselves in a large atrium. A hot sun shines down upon them, its rays tingling their flesh. In the shade at the atrium's portico, a young woman reclines on a divan, holding a small swaddled baby in her hands. From the exhaustion on her face and the stains on her clothes it is evident she has recently given birth to it. A trio of women in desert-themed garb stand about her. Suddenly a man appears out of nowhere in front of them. He is huge, with a dark bronze skin and kohled eyes glowing ruby red. bronze-colored ringlets descend to his shoulders, and a large shaped goatee wrapped in golden wire hangs down to his oiled chest. An odd kilt-like garment wraps his midsection from below his chest to just above the knees, gleaming gold. A staff of gold metal topped with a bright-shining sun is grasped in his hand. He points his other hand at the woman and child, the three attendants cringing back and shrieking in fear. His voice is terrible, like an earthquake

YOU HAVE BIRTHED AN ABOMINATION! THIS CHILD IS NO SON OF MINE! KNOW THAT NOL, LORD OF THE SUN,WILL NOT REST UNTIL THIS BABE IS NAUGHT BUT ASHES!

The man vanishes as the three attendants run screaming from the portico. A sudden sound causes the party members to look up. The hot sun is blocked by a huge shadow. A winged monster descends from the hard blue sky, landing at one end in a whirl of dust. Bronze scales cover the creature, and a serpentine neck rears and shrieks

Actions??


female Tiefling 12th level Duskblade

"We've been drawn into something," Karrin says, "Anyone know anything about the lord of mists?"

knowledge religion: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

Karrin instinctively moves between the dragon and the mother and baby.

"Yo scale face," Karrin says to the dragon, "Ever hear of an annulment? Lot less drastic then what you're proposing and far less of a turn off. You think the chicks are gonna be lining up if you burn your last lady to a crisp? I know I as sure wouldn't. And I don't care how big your gold pile is, I mean money and power are nice and stuff, but a lady needs to know she's not going to get burnt to a crisp as well. murderous jealous rages are a big turn off."


Human Wiz 12 (Evocation)

Justin looks around quizzically as the scene shifts around them. Then observes the events at the opposite side of the arena with a raised eyebrow.

"Nol? Lord of the sun? Is he a friend of yours Ekuur?" Justin murmurs out of the side of his mouth.

K:Planes:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22

The wizard instinctively covers his face from the blast of dust the creatures' landing kicks up. He whispers to the others,...

"I'm sorry, but the wizard can't answer your call right now. He's busy Disagreeing with something trying to eat him!"

,... just on the off chance that they might, somehow, be within range of the communication charm.

His fingers move of their own volition, weaving protective magics around himself even as he speaks out of the side of his mouth to Karrin, not daring to take his eyes off the draconic creature.

"Um,... Just a guess. But That CAN'T be good. Any ideas?"

Mage Armor already up (Pretty much an all day spell at this level) :) casts Prot/evil on himself as well. Reviews Glitterdust, Tentacles, and Resilient sphere in his mind, ready to go. :)


Human Wiz 12 (Evocation)

Cross posted with Karrin! LOL!

"Um, I meant OTHER than direct confrontation?" He adds sotto voice, too nervous about the reptile facing them to actually facepalm.

K check 'Lord of Mists'
K:Planes & Religion:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 281d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29

"You heard the lady Lizard-lips! These two are off the menu! But if your interested, we're having a special today on Bar-B-Que!" The wizard adds snarkily, causing a flame to materialize in his hand.


Bribes always welcome

Justin & Karrin:

Spoiler:
The two have read many tomes on sun gods. This 'Nol' looks to be an ancient one, with a very old-school look. If they remember correctly, many deity stories start off with the father god attempting to destroy his progeny, in fear that they will supplant them. This looks to be a play out of that scenario.

The dragon shrieks again, and a glow begins to emanate from its fanged mouth

Initiative!!


female Tiefling 12th level Duskblade

initiative: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Karrin goes on a 15

Karrin snarls Raises her axe, then uses a quickened expeditious retreat, spins on her heel, and snatches up baby and momma together and takes off at full speed across the desert.

"Yoink!"


Bribes always welcome

init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Wowsers.

As Karrin raises her axe, the dragon belches a line of molten fire in her direction.

Fire damage: 12d4 ⇒ (4, 4, 1, 2, 3, 2, 4, 3, 3, 1, 2, 4) = 33

Ref DC22 for 1/2 damage. I am going to assume you folks are scattered so only one can be hit ..


Male Human (Athasian) Cleric 10

knowledge religion 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
knowledge planes 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

"He is no god of mine! But this creature ... this scene ... makes no sense to me."

I should have bear's endurance active for a few minutes, giving me another 16hp and +2 to Fort saves for the time being.

Ekuur doesn't fully trust his eyes, and will actively try to disbelieve the scene as an illusion or hallucination. But in case that doesn't work, I'll include initiative too.

will save 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

initiative 1d20 ⇒ 8


Female catfolk sorceror 11

"Wait something trying to eat you???" Merle begins to make her way towards the temple

Ouch! Karrin takes 28 damage! Not a good start to this fight.


Female Human Cavalier 8 (Order of the Dragon)

Rhiannon's blade rings out as it clears the scabbard, her gaze locking in on the woman as her intricate birthmark glows for a moment, a silver glow flickering over both herself and the woman and baby.

Cast Shield other on mother and child (Dragonmark ability)

Init 1d20 ⇒ 13

Touching the bracelet at her wrist she sheathes her sword as a swirling grey mist envelops her. As the mists clear she sits atop a powerful shadowy destrier, an elegant black longspear in hand.

Summon Thunderhead, switch to Longspear


female elan Psion (Kineticist) 10

So were we able to hear Justin? Or did things just get really quiet? I'm not clear on that.


Human Wiz 12 (Evocation)

Init:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

NO way I can beat that roll! Yikes!

Even if I didn't roll cruddy ;P

"Whoa!" Justin cries intelligently as the dragon belches fire.

"Hey! Easy hot stuff! I'M the one whose supposed to be tossing fire around indiscriminately!" He cries.

OK, so Karrin got fried BEFORE she could take a turn. And she goes before Justin. (Even if using group init, I would go on 15 but after her I think) I plan to put the woman and baby in a Resilient Sphere, protecting them from everything for as long as it lasts. IF Karrin still wants to grab and dash, I'll try to slow the dragon down with an elemental wall.


Female Human Cavalier 8 (Order of the Dragon)

Anything that makes it through, will do half of the damage to Rhiannon. Next round she takes the fight to him. Dragon vs Dragonmarked Order of the Dragon Cavalier.


Bribes always welcome

All Messaging went dead. You can no longer hear anything that is going on inside


female Tiefling 12th level Duskblade

Personally I'd like to see a little knight v dragon action, Karrin, Ekuur, and Justin can play distraction.

I would love to keep the "Yoink" quote :) Anytime Karrin gets to say yoink is good.


Human Wiz 12 (Evocation)

Heh, 'Yoinks and away' it is! :)


Female Human Cavalier 8 (Order of the Dragon)

Wait, does that mean I have to charge through an elemental wall?

Ignore Merles comment since she wouldent have heard the message however since the attackers are fleeing and all messaging going dead is probably just as worrying as the actual message (If not more so) she will still head towards the building. Also been a while so can anyone remember if Merle left Seph with Justin and co or he was with her?
