Reynaldo swings, but misses the ghostly form!
Dude, there is something wrong with the dice bot. In another PbP, we've had three nat 20's in a row, and now we have two in a row here. Call me kooky, but over the past year or so, I've noticed that there will be an abundance of nat 20's across my games for a about a week, then rarely any twentys for about a month or two....dang pseudo-random algorithms....
Lia tosses a ball of fire at the shadow and it burns!
Lao tries to bite the incorporeal form, but has no luck!
Hammer and Ares.
Mr. Hammerfist |
Incorporeal, well... s*!%. I did look at the loot list and found a wand of web that I had forgotten about.
Hammerfist did not have a ready, moved back and drew scroll.
GM Tektite |

Lia the Huntress |
Dammit, I always end up being fully unable to go up against incorporeal foes! Still, one thing I can think of doing.
Lia moves to Ares. "You still have that cure wand? It's weak magic, but it may be able to keep us from staying here for the rest of our deaths."
Mr. Hammerfist |
Hammerfist drops his scroll of glitterdust and fumbles around in his bag, eventually drawing his potion of cure moderate wounds.
"Ay, dat wa' be a goo'dea."
Just hold it off for 15 minutes guys, then I can fill my last cantrip slot in with Disrupt Undead.
Ares Aeroflot |
kn:religion : 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Ares , seeing the flames flicker out on his bow, nods to Lia,
"Aye, that and maybe something else. . " he drops the bow, and draws the wand from his spring loaded wrist sheath and hands to Lia.
He will dig through his pack for a scroll of magic weapon.
GM Tektite |
Lia begins brainstorming ideas to attack the shadow!

Out of Combat!
Congrats! Level up!
With these defeated, the rest of this complex is RP only. I'll get a summary post up in a bit.
GM Tektite |
Searching the room, you find the central sarcophagus contains a body clad in a mnemonic vestment. Its bony hands still clutch a maximize metamagic rod. On the left hand is a platinum wedding band set with a ruby worth 1,250 gp, and on the right a ring of force shield. The body wears a pair of slippers of spider climbing on its feet.
Reynaldo Li |
Well, Reynaldo quips, I don't think this fellow is using these any more, so...
Rey tucks the vestment and the wedding band set in his pack, hands the metamagic rod to Hammer, takes the ring and gives it to Lia or Ares, whomever wants it, and holds the slippers out. Who wants these, hmm?
Will take me a bit to level Reynaldo up...bought the ACG, so I'll need to be sure he's correct, and I don't have that module for HeroLab yet, so I'll hafta do it by hand. First World problems, you know? LOL
Lia the Huntress |
Lia eyes the ring with envy.
Aye, I need to level up and correct as well. Have not had a chance to get the ACG yet, however. Juggling finances, hahaha. Should have it in next few days though.

Mr. Hammerfist |
Hammerfist is leveled up, he's even ditched his armor.
GM: Thoughts on crafting time?
Other PCs: Any wondrous items you're desperate for?
Also what's the town size here? The Rod is worth 54k... It'd do us way more good split up, even if we did replace it with a lesser rod.
Ares Aeroflot |
Ares would be happy with the slippers. As for Hammer's crafting, a haversack or efficient quiver would top his list.
What did we end up with cash-wise? I still want a magic bow and maybe some buffs on armor. He will keep the plate armor unless we are selling it to get cash for the lot.
Otherwise Ares is ready.
GM Tektite |
Belhaim is a small town. Base Value 1,000 gp; Purchase Limit 5,000 gp; Spellcasting 5th
You guys were given two weeks to deliver the ransom, it has been one day.
Recovering the items, the party heads back up the spiral stairs. When you get to the room with the blue dragon mosaic, you notice a secret door that has opened, that you missed before.
Heading into the door and down another set of stairs, you enter majestic tomb. This huge, elegant domed chamber houses a single marble sarcophagus at its western end. A mosaic of a black dragon decorates the floor. The ceiling is covered by a vibrant fresco of armored soldiers fighting a host of dragons, with a blonde woman of noble mien at the center, rallying the troops with her sword. In circular alcoves to the north and south stand life-sized statues of this woman, standing in a pose of triumph over the head of a defeated dragon. You realize this is likely Tula's tomb.
Suddenly you head a disembodied voice. "“And who might this be? A new generation of dragonslayers sent to gather my treasures? I sense this among your thoughts. I would have asked a favor that you prove your worth to me, but I sense you have already accomplished the task. My husband’s spirit was unquiet in his tomb—he lingers out of guilt for my death. But you have vanquished his shade and you come to me with his wedding band, so I shall grant you my blessing to take up arms from this crypt. Take my arms and good luck!” The voice fades away, leaving only silence in the room.
Lady Tula’s remains still wear her +3 breastplate of luck (as banded mail of luck). Her +1 keen composite longbow (+2 Str) lies at the body’s left side. Her famed weapon Wyrmsmite (a +2 dragonbane transformative longsword) lies atop the body under the crossed arms. The right hand holds 10 +1 dragonbane arrows, and the left just a single shaft—an arrow of dragon slaying.
Reynaldo Li |
Lia eyes the ring with envy.
Aye, I need to level up and correct as well. Have not had a chance to get the ACG yet, however. Juggling finances, hahaha. Should have it in next few days though.
Well, I kinda cheated and bought the .pdf, figuring I can better swing the hardback later but knowing I'd need the info sooner than that. $9.99 is a durn good price. :-)
Reynaldo Li |
Reynaldo eyes the wedding band, but reluctantly lays it atop the sarcophagus. Drat, that ruby is worth some coin...but putting her spirit at rest seems more important.
He is not unwilling to grab the armor, bow, arrows, and sword, however. Upon learning of the blade's properties, he is only too pleased to claim it.
Lia the Huntress |
That's what it'll end up being. Glanced at the PFSRD for the class and now I'm very excited. Will try to download and level tonight.
Lia's eyes again sparkle at the loot before them. Her eyes stay on the bow, twitching to look at Ares to see if she'll have to fight him for it.
Ares Aeroflot |
Ares is ready, and kept the platemail armor and slippers. I will wait to see on crafting. Did we have an idea on total treasure sold for purchases? He mainly wanted to enhance his bow (2000gp).
GM Tektite |
We'll get started and move along slowly until Hammer gets back.
After almost a fortnight of rest and a little crafting on Hammer's part, the party starts out for the Monastery of Saint Kyerixus.
Arriving at the monastery, you see eight weather-worn statues in various martial poses flank a tiled patio leading up to the monastery’s gate. The weathered, iron gate is ajar. A guardhouse lies to the north, and three narrow arrow slits face ominously southward from its facade.
Lia the Huntress |
Lia starts mimicking the poses of the statues, seeing if one form flows easily into another, as if the statues were trying to teach a long-lost technique of the masters.
Then she sees Ares keeping an eye out and decides it is probably best for her to do the same.
Perc: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Lao continues along his master and keeps on the defense for her.
Reynaldo Li |
Rey draws Wyrmsmite and eyes the guardhouse with some apprehension. Don't much like the looks of those arrow slits, he murmurs aloud. I'd feel a lot more comfortable checking that out first.
