GM Bold Strider's Dust Comes to Doomspawn (Tier 8-9) (Inactive)

Game Master rpblue

Will: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 Does it have the evil descriptor as well? If so I have another +2. However I'll proceed as if it didn't. Confused : 1d100 ⇒ 88
Embarrassing... Who's the closest person to me? I'll let GM adjudicate/roll.

Are you all going mad????? the dwarf looks on in astonishment as his party crumbles around him.

No evil descriptor.

Ennoia's Attacks @ Ali-1; Grimdoc-2; Joesef-3; Vladek-4; Qadathra-5: 1d5 ⇒ 1

Ali's Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Rounds Confused: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Ennoia strikes first as she is quite quick, but the unsightly creature before her makes her very brain hurt. She quickly fails to be able to tell friend from foe as she sees the brightly-dresssed Ali and lets loose four arrows at the man.

The spell says to attack, which I interpret to mean, to your best ability. If a wizard is confused and chooses Acid Splash over Disintegrate, then that is just metagaming. You are attacking them because you want them to die, so it makes sense.

Ennoia slams a single arrow into Ali's side as the confused man looks back at the woman and roars with bestial vigor. "A plant?! A spy?! I knew it!" he cries as he launches a salvo of Toppling Magic Missiles at the archer.

Magic Missile: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 1, 2, 4) + 4 = 15
Trip @ Ennoia-26 CMD: 1d20 + 8 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 7 = 25

Ennoia Rounds Confused: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Ali's magic missiles slam into Ennoia, but they don't seem quite strong enough to topple her as Grimdoc buffs himself and looks at the pair fighting each other.

As this happens, the creature laughs as it flies up to Grimdoc, staying 10' from the man and lashing out with a spongy tentacle to try and slam into the man. "Seems like your friends are a bit distracted, dwarf!"

Slam @ Grimdoc-28 AC: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (13) + 21 = 34
Damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (4, 8) + 8 = 20
DC 21 Will Save or you lose two levels.

Joesef mutters incomprehensibly to himself as Vladek joins in, while Qadathra bashes himself in the face.

Thanks for the bot, even if it did hurt Ennoia a bit. I'll be a bit slow for the next week or so and won't be available this weekend.

Ali continues shouting at Ennoia, "I should have known you would betray us! You only came after the elf died... you probably did it to try to take his place!" He throws another barrage of missiles at her.

missiles: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1, 4, 4) + 4 = 15
trip: 1d20 + 8 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 7 = 24

I'll make my save now while I have time, not sure I'll be back on tonight.

Will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 OK, looks like I'm out of that.

Grimdoc tears his attention away from his bickering friends long enough to see the creature reach out to touch him with a black tentacle.

Ouch! Hey, nobody invited you, squidley!

will,hardy?,shakex2,judgement: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 23 vs DC21?

Assuming spell-like, but barely makes it if not...barely

Grimdoc decides he has had enough and swings at the odd creature. Free action he sprouts bramble armor spikes.

Let's see how you like my touch.

#1 +1 Lucern Hammer, div fav, judge, PA/FF: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 2 + 2 = 21

Any time here fellas!

Qadathra's Will save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
duration: 1d4 ⇒ 4
1d100 ⇒ 70

Overwhelmed by the nightmare that is unfolding around him, Qadathra hits himself again in a vain attempt to wake himself up!

damage: 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6

While I agree with you on the attack to the best of one's ability, the spell also mentions you roll the 1d100 every round, with a potentially different outcome.

@Ennoia: Except the clause of being attacked. "Any confused creature who is attacked automatically attacks its attackers on its next turn, as long as it is still confused when its turn comes "

-Posted with Wayfinder

You're absolutely right - I think I've been playing and running it wrong all these years. Thanks for bringing that to my attention! I'll post my full attack as soon as I get access to a computer.

-Posted with Wayfinder

The paladin aims another arrow, then another, and another. The endless stream of missiles goes on and on, yet there is no passion in the paladin's eye, merely a glimmering red light and a blank face, even after Ali has long succumbed to the paladin's treachery.

+1 Holy Composite Longbow (cold iron, RS, DA, Manyshot, PBS): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 282d8 + 26 ⇒ (5, 6) + 26 = 37

+1 Holy Composite Longbow (cold iron, RS, DA, PBS): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 171d8 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

I'm really sorry, EF!

"What is wrong with you all? ."

Grim studies the creature ( forgot to add these)

Kn dungeon : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Kn religious : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Ennoia, frustrated by the swirling vortex in her mind and Ali's attack, focuses a bit harder on striking down the gaudy man and puts three arrows in his chest, sending him plummeting to the ground in a heap.

Grimdoc, holding off the Emissary, can't seem to identify the bad guy, but can tell that he is likely party of some Outer God religion based on the attributes of the creature. As he slams his hammer into the Emissary, the squishy nature of the creature seems to repel about half of each strike's damage.

"You have lost one friends to another... Please, kill each other some more!" it screams into your brains as it slams its fleshy appendages into Grimdoc twice more.

Slam @ Grimdoc-28 AC: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (18) + 21 = 39

These are not spell-like.

After the Emissary attacks Grimdoc, Qadathra slams his fist into his head once more as the faerie dragon has devolved into only experiencing pain to realize its existence.

Remember, I have a 30-foot aura granting allies +4 effective Constitution for determining threshold of death!

1d100 ⇒ 100 S#%!.

"AUUUCHHH! HUMAN, get it AWAY from me!!!" Cries a panicked Vladek as he lashes out at Joesef with his sword.

damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Grimdoc will grunt in pain as another slam hits him, this time trying to draw life force from him.

Bramble armor will potentially do piercing dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 to the tendril

Will, judgement, shakex2: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 2 + 2 = 19 Rats!

Grimdoc looks to the fallen Ali, trying to determine if he is dead or alive...

Waiting to see ruling on Vlad's +4 aura - if that keeps Ali alive, Grim may try to save him....
Let me know if I need a heal check, or can tell obviously.
Also watching the effect of the piercing armor on the creature (if any).

Actions pending...

@Vladek: Good call on the aura. However, I'm going to have to insist that you at least try to attack Joesef with your abilities even if your strongest offensive spell remaining is 2nd level.

@Grimdoc: The Bramble armor does nothing. You can tell he is still alive, though barely.

Vladek reels in anguish at the unholy, self-compounding frustration of it all.

"Dirty...feel...so...DIRTY...must...clean...BY FIRE BE CLEANSED!"

burning hands, directed at Joesef, Reflex DC 18 for half: 5d4 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 4, 1) = 17 /facepalm

Grimdoc, feeling weakened by the loss of his life-force, will call forth the bane of Erastil on the creature.

You have earned my wrath you blob of crud!

Going to guess with Chaotic Outsider Bane since he has no real idea, but blobs are generally more chaotic...and this one feels all that. Although negative energy seems off...but hey...maybe he will live another round.

Also trying the spike of the hammer this time...since blunt seemed not to help.

#1 +1 Lucern Hammer, div fav, judge, bane PA/FF, 2NL: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 20

for dmg, bane, PA: 1d12 + 8 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 6 + 2 + 2 + (6, 2) = 30

Will step back 5' after swinging.

Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 53
Self-inflicted damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Suddenly, Ennoia snaps. Her blank face docomposes into a mess of confused and contradictory feelings. Tears run down her face as she beholds Ali's body, impaled by her many arrows.

"How... What... NOOOOO! Falayna help me, I'm not worthy to serve you anymore if I harbor evil in me. This is my doing... and my undoing..." Wallowing in her suffering, the paladin grasps one of her cold iron arrows and slits her wrist with it, only wishing to be relieved of the torment of life. Fortunately, the wound is only superficial.

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Joey dodges the flames, coming out of the situation unharmed! Evasion, yay!

Joesef will then move around Vladek carefully Acrobatics, if needed to avoid possible AoO?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 to the fallen Ali and stabilize him with a quick prayer. Rebuke Death: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Ali was at 40/59 before Ennoia's full attack, then hit by the first two for 55 damage, putting him at -15 with a Con of 14. Without the aura, he'd be dead!

I think Joesef would go before Ali, right? So it brings him up to -10 and he's stable without having to roll I think.

Ali lies on the ground, bleeding heavily from the arrows in his chest. But he is still AMAZING and SPECTACULAR.

Vladek unleashes magical flames onto Joesef as the man tumbles past the confused witch and applies some much needed healing to Ali.

Ennoia, seeing that she has harmed Ali, realizes her mistake and bashes herself in the face as she weeps openly, while Ali rests on the ground, not in fear of imminent death from bleeding, though Grimdoc is feeling the effects of the Emissary's attacks.

He believes the creature might be a chaotic outsider, so he tries to improve his attacks against the beast, however he chose poorly as it seems to not aid in his help, causing his first attack to miss.

Vladek yells while Grimdoc hits it. "Yeah, all of these people are traitors to the Society! They are in league with that ooze thing!" *cough cough*

Grimdoc's second swing hits, but seems to do about half damage. The Emissary chuckles as it swings twice more at the dwarf, hopeful that the Pathfinders will devolve into killing each other once more. "Yes... Keep hurting each other! Your confusion is delightful!"

Whew, but the hp may kill him

Hey guys! Still looking for some help here when you all are done with your petty bickerin!'

Grimdoc will wait (delay until before the creature) to see if any of the others snap out of it before deciding to attack or defend.

Are you sure you want to delay? I mean, if we attack you and down you, it's a lose-lose situation.

I agree with Ennoia. I say attack your ass off before your ass is taken off for you. It's everyone's best hope, even if some of us do improve.

Confusion : 1d100 ⇒ 4
... at least not from me. Will post my action when I get access to a real computer.

He acts last in the initiative order either way.

-Posted with Wayfinder

The clouds in Ennoia's mind appear to dissipate, and the paladin slowly regains her limited wits. While she is befuddled by the body at he feet, her attention swiftly changes to the cause of her confusion.

"You triffled with my mind... you made me do this... but Falayna is my witness, you'll regret it!"

Swift action to smite evil, 5-ft step backwards (see map), then full attack. Arrows are cold iron and good-aligned.

+1 Holy Composite Longbow (cold iron, RS, DA, Manyshot, PBS, smite): 1d20 + 14 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 14 + 3 = 352d8 + 26 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1) + 26 + 4 = 34
Extra damage if Evil: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

+1 Holy Composite Longbow (cold iron, RS, DA, PBS): 1d20 + 14 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 14 + 3 = 301d8 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 13 + 2 = 17
Extra damage if Evil: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12

+1 Holy Composite Longbow (cold iron, RS, DA, PBS): 1d20 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 3 = 131d8 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 13 + 2 = 22
Extra damage if Evil: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6
Using Reliable strike on the last one to reroll that attack.
+1 Holy Composite Longbow (cold iron, RS, DA, PBS): 1d20 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 3 = 29

The first attack that lands may inflict 2 more damage if the creature is an evil undead, outsider or dragon.

Joesef will move into Ali's square and cast Shield of Faith on Grimdoc, hoping the small bit of protection might end up making a difference.

Ali bleeds FANTASTICALLY!

Grim sees Ennoia fire her bow in the right direction for a change.

Well, that's better, lass.
I ain't sure how much longer I got in this fight, but I will give it my best.

Seeing the outsider bane had no effect, he will switch his bane to "ooze" and try again.

Bet you didn't like those arrows, did ya blobbo?
How about some of this action?

Qadathra: 1d100 ⇒ 45

The exact same rolls on 2d100. Shouldn't I win money for that or something?

Vladek points a shaking finger at the Emissary while Qadathra clings weakly to his neck.

"That...thing...you...it has...it IS...A BULBOUS BOUFFANT!"

Bulbous bouffant? Replies Qadathra, very much dazed and confused.

"GAZEBO!"

Macadamia.

"Plethora?"

Tuberculosis....

And those better not be my last words....

Just 1 in 100, its not like its the lottery or anything. Might be what our chances of surviving this module are though. :)

That high, Joesef? Always the optimist. :)

Ennoia and Grimdoc send out severe attacks onto the Emissary, damaging the prophet of the Outer Gods beyond, with Grimdoc gaining some aid from Joesef to boost his defensive capabilities.

Ali's body remains on the ground, moans escape from his mouth as his chest heaves. Vladek and Qadathra remain confused, babbling incoherently.

The Emissary roars in your minds as it lashes out at the dwarf, determined to win, trying to end the life of the Inquisitor before he can smash the head of the creature with his hammer. "THAT WAS YOUR LAST TIME TO STRIKE ME!" he cries as his tentacles lash out.

Slam @ Grimdoc-30 AC: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (20) + 21 = 41 Oh... that's so unlucky.
Damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (4, 6) + 8 = 18 DC 21 Will or lose two levels.

Slam Confirmation @ Grimdoc-30 AC: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (6) + 21 = 27

The first strike slams through Grimdoc's armor and knocks him unconscious as the last remnants of his soul begin to form outside of his body.

With the fall of Grimdoc, the Emissary moves up next to Ennoia, choosing her as his next target.

I don't think I have a confusion roll pending, the effect lasted 3 rounds and these have now passed. Actually, now that I'm recounting posts, I see that I have had four rounds of confusion instead of the three you rolled. It doesn't really matter anyway since I was able to act freely last round, just saying.

Ennoia takes another step back and unleashes another volley of arrows.
DR won't be an issue with smite evil, I believe. In case it isn't evil, all attacks are cold iron and good-aligned. Ennoia also has the Clustered Shots feat.

AC is 25 against it.

Ah, you are right. However, you need to make the check against the aura since you haven't succeeded yet. I'll give you until tomorrow to make the save! If you fail and roll a 1 on the number of rounds, then you need to make a second save for this round. (Essentially two saves if you fail one and roll a 1 on rounds.)

I'm actually in Ali's square from my movement last turn.

Joesef, seeing that he is not next to the offending creature, tries to join the fight!

Rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 for Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

That ought to finish him

With a final volley of arrows, the Emissary is put down, however Grimdoc's soul is ripped from him as his body disintegrates into a pile of dwarven brainstem and a pair of eyeballs. The remains seem to slowly creep towards the Emissary, but as the creature perishes the last bits of Grimdoc stop moving.

The bad guy was a Vespergaunt.

With the Emissary's defeat, the doom that had come to Dustpawn passes. In time, the town's waters recover from the dream crystal toxin's taint (faster, of course, with your aid), and the people of Dustpawn recover from their curse. The wreck of the Lirgen's Glory becomes a new draw to the town as word spreads, and the influx of curious scholars and historians seeking to explore the wreck breathes new life into the town.

It may not be enough to completely revitalize Dustpawn to its glory days as a thriving mining town, but it's a breath of fresh air nevertheless, and the townsfolk know they have you to thank for it. After a few days and some clandestine manipulation of the town's black market, the townsfolk present you with rewards of thanks for the people of Dustpawn have come to know their heroes.

Dalviss Crenn himself thanks you in person. He offers you his amulet and belt as thanks and hands over the promised halberd for their work, and lets them know that should they ever find themselves in Dustpawn again in the future, they'll never have to pay for a meal or room.

Yet despite the festive atmosphere, not all in the region is the same. Dustpawn's citizens will suffer from an unusual number of nightmares for the rest of their lives. And when the ship fell from the sky, it scattered fragments of itself across the countryside. While the cultists have scoured the region for these fragments, some may yet remain in the wild, their tainted energies slowly seeping into the environment, waiting patiently for a new host to infect . . .

I will wrap up Chronicles and last minute purchases tomorrow! You have saved Dustpawn!

Wow, what a finish. I need to look up that creature. RIP Brother Grim.
Thanks for sticking with it GM. I know it was getting a bit hectic for you in RL, and this was a challenge from the beginning with our rag-tag band. Was a fun ride.

Wow, all I can say is that my little multiclass experiment seemed like a failure. I can't do anything that really helps most of the time at the higher levels. I will either have to spend the gold to retrain him or simply retire him I guess.

Do you not want to be brought back/don't think you can?

Maybe, but get a lot of credit in my book for actually trying it (and while you weren't the best combatant, your skill usage was pretty helpful, so maybe it's not so bad)! :D

JESUS CHRIST, what a nail-biter!!! I've never been that close to a TPK! Gods bless you, Ennoia! I knew that last saving throw would be the deciding factor!

I do not want to pay for a wish so take Grimdoc share and use to pay for raise dead and restoration we already spent. Grim is in Erastil happy hunting ground of pie .

I knew grim was on his last round even without the crit. He was just trying to buy time for the rest to recover.

HOLY S+!%, I just read the Vespergaunt entry. Damned shame....

Vladek sticks around town long enough to sculpt a statue in Brother Grimdoc's memory.

Craft (Sculptor): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (17) + 21 = 38

It's one of his finest works to date.

What a finish indeed! That last encounter was very unlucky for us... Um really sorry to see Grim rest in peace, but I know how you feel. I've lost a level 10 character in PFS and decided it was a decent enough ending for his storyline. If you change your mind though, I'll be more than happy to contribute!
