Feral's PFS Eyes of the Ten (Inactive)

Game Master Feral

Moonlight from inside Shade's shirt casts ventriloquism and then Shade uses bluff while Moonlight uses diplomacy and speaks for Shade

Sir we will keep Lady Mary with us as she is part of our group and the ten have ordered our group to protect you, her included.

bluff: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Butyl's words seem to set the Venture-Captain off. He snarls as he touches his thumb to a ring on his finger and vanishes from sight.

Zandu sighs as the Venture-Captain disappears before feeling around for him for a awhile then moving to find the stash he was trying to hide.

if nothing happens like a wizard zapping him for a while Zandu exclaims
"well we may as well take the time to explore the rest of the mansion"

Digging between the cushions of the couch, Zandu pulls out a Pathfinder Chronicle with another book nestled inside it. The second book appears intended solely for entertainment and features lewd images of several prominent women, including a few deities.

A search of the first floor of the lodge uncovers a kitchen full of startled halfling slaves but nothing of interest and no upset Venture-Captains.

Zandu flips through the pages, shrugs and pockets the book... unless someone else wants it.

opening the door to the kitchen Zandu looks at the halflings "have any of you seen your master around recently?" he says.

on to the second floor?

The kitchen slaves react with the same fear as the ones earlier. Most look away or focus on their work but one speaks up to answer Zandu's question.

"No sir, not since this morning's orders. Please don't whip us. We're working real hard."

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

spellcraft: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

"I do believe he ran away. Good riddance. He was a most unpleasant man. So very uncivil. "

Shade follows alonf with the group keeping a sharp eye for anything

The party takes the search upstairs where they happen upon the lodge's guest quarters. These rooms look to be meticulously cared for but unoccupied and containing nothing of interest.

Lastly the party comes to a pair of double doors that presumably lead to the lodge's master suite. They are locked and, more curiously, look to be frozen shut. The same thick layer of ice that has sealed the doors also spreads along the floor out into the hallway.

Protected by his heavy leather workgloves, Butyl presses his hand against the door to see what lies on the other side.

Using Door Sight. Takes 1 minute to activate, and can see through up to 16 inches.

"Well that is certainly curious. " and she casts resist cold on Mary.

"Mary can probably break through that. "

After a minute of concentration, the contents of the room become clear to Butyl.

Kneeling like worshipping, or kneeling like capitulated?

Butyl whispers his observations to the group. "Some kind of... insect monster thing meditating on the bed, a couple of demonic hounds with bright white eyes. Keel's in there, and I think he's a captive. The ice is coming from a blue fire in the fireplace."

A little of both.

"On second thought, Keel might be willingly serving this thing. Or possibly in that gray area."

so pre buff and knowledge checks then kick down door and pathfinder thing s? Would post more but on phone right now

Arcana? (insect): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Planes? (insect): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Planes (hounds): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Remember to indicate what sort of information you're after with your knowledge rolls.

Sorry, that's me trying to identify these creatures.

I know. What sorts of things are you looking to learn? Special defenses? Weaknesses? Special attacks? Etc.

Ah. Special attacks, followed by special defenses. Then weaknesses.

Wand mage armor, wand shield. Sayforget breaking in, dimension door in with Mary, and Zandu, Butyl. Mother summon things send them in. I cast invisibility quickened with the dimension door. Save the venture captain.

My Eidolon is present, I cannot summon things when she is here. I will cast haste before people go in.

"Oh, I think I'll just speed people up a bit before they go in. "

I'll prebuff with Deathwatch

upon hearing demonic hounds Zandu reaches into his haversack to pull out a crystal vial containing a golden like fluid that he slowly and lovingly smears onto his notched scimitar that has the words "Deal Breaker" etched in Kelish.

will use a oil of bless weapon just before we go in and will pull out the swordmans flair handkerchief. Also I assume these are nott local demon monsters things :P?

Those hounds are so getting the business end of a Banishment, first thing!

Ok after haste all is ready Shade will fly ten feet up asking to ensure there is clearance, five feet above and next to Mary's head and quicken invis followed by dimension door where Butyl says it is clear so that Mary and Zandu are in front in melee and Butyl and I are in back.

while I kinda object to d dooring in if the rest of the party wants to do it then I will as well

I think we only have the 1 D-Door caster anyway. We can't get everyone in in one trip.

Butyl recognizes the hounds as cocytan warhounds, bestial (evil, extraplanar, fire, lawful) outsiders. Their breath is super-chilled which makes their bite attack extra dangerous and periodically they can breathe a cone of deadly freezing air.

After preparing thoroughly, the party disappears and reappears within the master suite.

A sheet of ice covers the floor of this opulent bedchamber, and the walls drip with layers of glittering rime. Soft, faint light through the frost-covered windows accentuates icicles dripping from a canopy bed. Your breath condenses before your eyes and hangs in the air momentarily before dissipating. An ornate fireplace occupies the east wall, and burns with cold, blue fire. On the opposite wall, you can barely discern the shape of floor–to-ceiling bookshelves under the thick frost that has transformed the room into an ice cave. A desk and several salon couches lay overturned in the middle of the floor.

A monstrous insect-like humanoid is seated in the lotus position atop the frozen bed as if it were a throne. At its flanks are two enormous demonic hounds with eyes that burn like white-hot embers. Kneeling at the foot of the bed is Venture-Captain Keel. His head is bowed and he makes no effort to acknowledge the party's arrival.

<<Come Pathfinders>> it speaks in your minds in a voice that somehow evokes both breaking glass and crawling spiders. <<Come meet your deaths.>>

Adaxis: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Butyl: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Gregor: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Mother Magda: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Zarzuket: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
Bugman: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Hounds: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

The gelugon chooses to remain seated and clicks its mandibles harshly. A second later, heavy chunks of ice appear overhead and crash down on the party.

Bludgeoning Damage vs Everyone Inside: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 3) = 14
Cold Damage vs Everyone Inside: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11

2d20 ⇒ (17, 4) = 21

Butyl is up.

Note that due to the ice, this room and most of the hallway you came through is difficult terrain. Also there's a +5 penalty to any acrobatics checks attempted here.

sorry to ask but where am I in initiative? I have a +9

It is worth pointing out that Mary does have tremorsense.

Based on those rolls, Zarzuket should be up before the hounds too.

Butyl lets out a primal roar, and casts a spell to send the hounds back to Hell. Banishment, DC 24 Will save. Targeting all the enemies and Keel, just in case. I'll present my holy symbol (which is of a good-aligned deity), and I think that should qualify as something that the hounds "oppose," boosting the DC to 26.

Oops. I forgot one of the new guys.

Zandu: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Wills: 2d20 ⇒ (10, 8) = 18

With a howl of disappointment both hounds are banished back to the Hells they were born from.

Zarzuket and Zandu are up.

Zandu seeing the ice monster will tumble forward at full speed. before starting to work on the remaining creature.

using swashbucklers grace Zandu is able to move full speed while tumbling and has the haste movement speed buff

acrobatics - penalty: 1d20 + 22 - 7 ⇒ (15) + 22 - 7 = 30

attack 1 Pa + haste: 1d20 + 22 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 22 + 1 = 35 Pa damage: 1d6 + 36 ⇒ (1) + 36 = 37

if anything happens that will obviously change this I'm sure I will change my action

Seeing his blade slash effortlessly through the creature Zandu turns around to the group hey that's a nifty trick he says " I think the big one is an illusion of some kind. "

Edit: also nice banishment Butyl

so any plans or ideals team? As of now I believe Zarzuket is up and we still have an unaccounted for falling ice problem

Activate the helmet for see invisible and look around for other enemies

Apparently I forgot to roll initiative for Keel too.

Keel: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Tiebreaker
Magdal: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Keel: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Revised Initiative
Bugman
Butyl/Zandu/Zarkuket
Keel
Magda/Adaxis

Zarzuket's enhanced vision reveals no hidden foes or threats.

Venture-Captain Keel looks up from his kneeling position to study Zandu with murderous intent.

Magda and Adaxis are up.

Magda casts see invisibility.

Mary will grab Keel (grapple).

provokes AOO

CMB: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (3) + 28 = 31

Zarzuket will whisper to the group to get through the ice of the door as there is nothing in this room and then use his own see invisibility and cast that on Zandu

Zarzuket it's not your turn quite yet.

Mary easily grabs Venture-Captain Keel. He offers no resistance.

On the other hand, outside the room, two skeletal demonic creatures appear adjacent Mother Magda and lash out with bony stingers when she tries to weave her spell.

Readied Sting vs Flatfooted: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 14 + 2 = 35
Damage: 2d4 + 5 ⇒ (3, 4) + 5 = 12
And make a DC 20 fort save vs poison or take 1d3 ⇒ 2 strength damage.

Readied Sting vs Flatfooted (cover): 1d20 + 14 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 2 - 4 = 17
Damage: 2d4 + 5 ⇒ (2, 2) + 5 = 9
And make a DC 20 fort save vs poison or take 1d3 ⇒ 1 strength damage. If you failed an earlier save vs the poison you still have to make the save but you do not take this strength damage.

AoO Sting: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Damage: 2d4 + 5 ⇒ (1, 2) + 5 = 8
And make a DC 20 fort save vs poison or take 1d3 ⇒ 1 strength damage. If you failed an earlier save vs the poison you still have to make the save but you do not take this strength damage.

AoO Sting (cover): 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 14 - 4 = 24
Damage: 2d4 + 5 ⇒ (4, 1) + 5 = 10
And make a DC 20 fort save vs poison or take 1d3 ⇒ 1 strength damage. If you failed an earlier save vs the poison you still have to make the save but you do not take this strength damage.

Mother Magda make fort saves vs poison and concentration checks as appropriate. I'm going to give Adaxis the afternoon to show up or check in in some way.

fort save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
fort save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
fort save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
fort save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

cast defensively: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30

Adaxis wakes from his coma and defensively casts Mass Fly on his companions and transforms into a half-eagle-half-dwarf humaniod. He then hovers 5 feet above the ground.

What 'n da hell is goin' on here? Mousebane get 'em!

The eagle hovers above his shoulder and attacks the large skeleton.

Mousebane full power attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26
holy magic bite: 1d4 + 13 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 13 + (6, 1) = 24

Mousebane full attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34
holy magic talon: 1d4 + 13 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 13 + (3, 3) = 20

Mousebane full attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30
holy magic talon: 1d4 + 13 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 13 + (6, 4) = 26

Assuming evil outsider for +4 favored enemy

Concentration Checks: 4d20 ⇒ (18, 18, 2, 2) = 40

In the chaos of the flurry of stingers, Mother Magda loses concentration on her see invisibility spell. Mousebane gets her some vengeance by tearing into the southern devil.

Meanwhile, within the master suite more crushing hailstones pelt the party.

Bludgeoning Damage vs Butyl, Zarzuket, and Mary: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 2) = 10
Cold Damage vs Butyl, Zarzuket, and Mary: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

Butyl/Zandu/Zarkuket are up.

Will do what I just said with the following:

Butyl can you create a pit under the door half and half for us to move through?

Then cast see invis on Zandu

I don't think Create Pit would work like that. Also, See Invisibility is a "personal" spell, so no casting it on other people.

What if I move next to Zandu, then ready a Teleport to get us back out there when Zarzuket moves in range? Then you'd still have a standard action to cast, and Zandu has his full turn.

Yeah, I think I'll do that.

"Is that Magda screaming outside? Slag! We'd better get back out there. Z, come with me, and I'll teleport us back into the hall. I think Mary is OK here keep Keel until we're back."

Butyl runs to Zandu, and holds his hand out for Zarzuket as he begins his spell.
