DaWay's PFS The Night March of Kalkamedes (Inactive)

Game Master DaWay

"Isn't there some magic word you say to make the wand work?"

Zarunkamer identifies the wand as a wand of enfeeblement only after her gentle nudge sends the door sprawling open releasing the doors to what appears to be a cage...

Suspended by thick chains, a massive metal cage shaped like a demon’s head hangs over a dark shaft with no bottom in sight. The cage’s door—by all appearances a menacing maw, filled with incisor-like fangs—hangs open to the west. There, a narrow bridge spans the short distance between the ledge and the cage. A small console on the north edge of the bridge bears a single lever.

"This is a wand of enfeeblement, but I guess I was feeble enough that we didn't need it. Not to say I won't take it anyways, it might come in handy against whomever did this to our poor friend here." Zarunkumar then steps through the door and looks around, "Do we dare pull the lever?"
All I can think of is Emporers New Groove, "Krunk, pull the lever...Wrong lever.

Interesting, I wonder where it leads?

Distance between cage and lever? Where is Kalkemedes during all if this?

Buri holds tight Kalkamedes's rope in case the sleepwalker decides he can fly.

the distance between the cage and lever is mere feet. Kalkamedes is in the cage ready to go where it takes him.

3 more rooms to go.

Will the cage hold our entire group or is someone gonna be left behind?

Assuming the cage will take the entire group:
Looks like we are supposed to go down.
Buri waits for the group to get inside the contraption and turns the lever, quickly entering the cage himself to join them after.
If that is not the case I will retcon my actions.

"Well, if that's what we're supposed to do, let's do it!"

Glorin stands in the cage with Kalkamedes.

Zarunkumar makes sure Dr. Agon is close by then she cautiously steps into the maw of the cage.

Pulling the lever and heading into the cage, it descends down into the cave the gears grinding to a halt many feet below the surface of the entrance leaving you off in the cavern of the black edifice.

Palm-sized shards of jagged steel jut from halfway up the walls of this large cavern, bathing the cavern with a dark green light. A set of natural rock columns support the chamber’s ceiling, which rises to a height of twenty feet. A small tunnel leads to the northeast, and several rounded alcoves branch off from the main cavern.

Kalkamedes immediately makes his way to the west.

All of you can hear a male voice calling for help calling from south.

Buri grabs Kalkamedes's rope-leash to better steer the sleepwalker.
Whatever is going on over there we can back trek here later. Lets finish with Kalkamedes first.

Glorin looks painedly to the south, but agrees. "Yes, we need to make sure our sleeping friend stays safe."

Faintly glowing lines trace the platform's floor in concentric rings in this alcove. Kalkamedes immediately goes to a female body laying unmoving on the floor.

Buri follows Kalkamedes close by and kneels by the fallen women to help her.
Heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Is she alive? What is her condition?

Anybody or anything else in the room other than the girl?

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Glorin sniffs the air and scowls. "What in Abaddon is this place?"

She is alive but just barely, her breathes are deep and steady but she is heavily bruised. 0 Hp; Nothing of note other the girl and the summoning circle she is in.

She is alive but requires healing. I am out of power, can anyone do it?

"Step aside and let the professional take over."
Healing hex: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
"That should at least get her back on her feet and able to answer questions."

The dwarf tries to hide his smile as he steps aside for the tiefling witch to work.
Miss, miss... Are you alright? Who are you and how did you end up in this place? He asks the injured women.

She explains that her name is Sulianna the Luminescent, a Ghaele who sought refuge in the summoning circle when Koth'Vaul tricked her and had an undead black dragon attack her. She reached out with her mind the only way she knew how and drew kalkamedes here night after night to help her. She cannot escape the binding circle on her own, once free she informs you she will not be able to help directly with koth'vaul but will be able to gift you magic to banish the demon.

Wow, wait a second, start from the beginning. Who is Koth'Vaul and what is going on here? And if you are the one doing this with Kalkamedes can you free him now please.

Survival for tracks in this room: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Sense Motive on Sulianna's answers: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Glorin shakes his head. "What's a Ghaele?"

Koth'Vaul is Glabrezu demon in disguise, and his tracks lead south of where you came in. Kalkamedes will be free of the enchantment when he wakes. A Ghaele is a creature from the heavens, now who wants the ability to banish him back to the abyss?

Zarunkumar steps forward and says "I will receive your generous gift and banish this hell spawn back to the abyss from whence he came."

There is the path to the S where you were directed Koth'Vaul is and you heard the call for help earlier. There is also the alcove to the SW which is as of yet unexplored.

While those more knowledgeable deal with the odd woman, Glorin explores the alcove.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

A deep pool occupies much of this alcove. Suspended particles of dust cloud the stagnant water, but barely visible at the bottom are several dozen strange bones from otherworldly creatures.

Emerging out of the pool is a horror beyond horrors, the undead form of a young black dragon. While, its flesh may be withering off it is still a potent enemy. initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Initiative and actions.

Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Double move to Glorin's position when I hear him or the sound of combat.

Buri moves to support the bearded fighter.

Initiative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Zarunkumar will move behind Glorin and cast Guidance on him and give him a +1 on his next roll.

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

"Aha! Thought you could sneak up on us, did you? Taste my blades, you monster!"

Glorin swings his urgrosh around to rain death down upon it, dwarf-style.

Axe Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Spear Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
presuming I go first with an initiative over 20 lol

Am I able to see the dragon emerge from my current position? If so, Can I take a shot at it?

You beat me by one. If you have any channels left that might be a bit more effective, because undead usually have resistance against piercing attacks.

We may need that channel for ourselfs, its a dragon.

Undead! Use the silver sword!

Yes the zombie black dragon has emerged from the pool you can take a shot at it.

Glorin attacks the dragon, both hits connect however the spear doesn't have the effectiveness he hoped for (13 damage)

Gilhanis takes a shot ?

Zarunkumar casts guidance on Buri

The black dragon attacks Glorin 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 201d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 3 - 4 = 191d6 ⇒ 6
crit?: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 3 - 4 = 182d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8

I got 1 channel, I can burn a 1st level to cure and I also have a full charged wand of CLE should it come down to that.

If Buri can attack in the same round he moves here it is, otherwise count it as his second round action.

Buri attacks the dragon.
Axe: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Dmg: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

[ooc]HP 2/12[/dice]

Glorin staggers from the massive hit, but holds the line firm. "There's no way I'm going to let you go down without taking me out, first! HRAAARG!"

Glorin focuses on swinging only the axe at the beast.

Axe Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Gilthanis strike is true but does little to penetrate the hide
21 damage

Rd 2.
Glorin swings his axe but misses

Gilthanis ?

Zarunkumar ?

Gilthanis will move up behin Glorin, take his hand off his bow and say a quick prayer for Sheylyn to heal his valiant ally.

sacrifice bless for CLW : 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Zarunkumar will also move to Glorin. If she hasn't healing hexed on him yet she'll do that if she has she cast CLW on him. Either way here's the roll:
Healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

More healing occurs as the dragon 5' steps and attacks Gilthanis
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 151d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Pathfinders you're up!

Is it possible to move to flank it without giving away an AoO?

Gilthanis will nimbly sidestep the dragons attempt to harm him. He steps back and looses another arrow at the unnatural beast.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 151d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

HP 9/12

"Oh, had enough of me, have you, you monster? Well, too bad, 'cause there's still more where it came from!" Glorin bellows as he steps around the beast to the back for the flank and puts his weight behind his swing.

Single Axe Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 = 21 Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

5ft step to get flanking with Glorin and attack

Buri circles the beast in the opposite direction of the big fighter and presses on his attack.
Battleaxe: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 + 2 = 18
Dmg: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Zarunkumar takes a few long steps back while pulling out her crossbow and fires at the beast.
Attack roll: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Well so much for that.

Buri, yes you can move and flank without provoking AoO.

Gilthanis steps back and fires another arrow 23 damage
Glorin attacks with a nasty strike from his axe. 37 damage
Buri attacks with his axe. 48 damage.

The black dragon zombie hisses in pain and lashes out at buri..
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 191d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
