Masks of the Living God (Inactive)

Game Master Stetrix

These guys are not surprised, so any action other than reaching to remove your mask we will go to initiative. You can tell, they are very very suspicious and ready to fight. For those who went inside the temple, they know white robed acolytes never are allowed upstairs.

Buchart if you're going to "Talk them down" say your piece and roll a bluff check. It will be against both of their sense motive checks. The good news no matter how this plays out 50% or more of the temple is locked up!

Exactly what we wanted to do!

I want to attempt to meld into the shadows.

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Go ahead Buchart. Hell's about to rain down if you don't succeed.
Message:guys if this doesn't work get ready to close your eyes as I am going to fire the flare cartridge in my spare weapon to blind them.

offline until tomorrow. Actions if needed will be to blind with flare, drop weapon on weapon cord and take up masterwork +1 pistol and start raining hell down on these f*cks. If the buy it then go along with what we need to do.

No worries had stuff to do tonight. Everyone stay safe

Not bad, make a bluff check...Good to see you Sekkimm!

Speak up Buchart....

bluff: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

-Posted with Wayfinder

that should be a +1, so 15

Following the CN creed. Awesome! Buchart will feign pulling my mask off as he continues climbing the stairs.

Urgent business! Where's that damned clasp!

Bluff: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2

Using message: Buchart turn to me and ask to help with your mask. Do thou have sleep Sekkim?

Anaba and I should close the distance while other use ranged attacks. This has already gone bad!

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

They pause, and look at each other with Sekkimms' and Buchart's words, but seem conflicted because acolyte's are restricted per the faith from climbing the stairs, it's 4AM and they did not hear the main door open to let anyone in and also because they know there will be hell to pay should you reach the upper floor. One steps out at the top of the stairs (no longer partial cover) and says "Stop! We will summon the leadership and you can sort this out with them. Please have a seat in the temple. The other starts to move around the corner away from the stairs.

Let's roll initiative to see your actions.

Sekkim is up!
Cela
Priest 1 (top of stairs)
Buchart
Anaba
Rolande
Priest 2 (Moving)
Fernleaf

Start barracading the first floor entrance to the room we are in with benches and the like.

You have an opportunity to attack the two guards and prevent them from sounding the alarm - do you want to try that 1st?

Using message: Stop the guards. Do you have a sleep spell Sekkim?

i do not have sleep.

From under my cloak I will pull my heavy crossbow and take a shot at this guy trying to leave! Wish we had cast some spells first! I sure hope that if I can't stop him someone can kill the one trying to leave for the door!

How dare you speak so to a Herald of Razmir!

Crossbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 61d10 ⇒ 6

Well! That really sucks! Five possible chances to save this from becoming, well, much more...fun?! I guess I should also not forget to refresh my browser on my phone!

Can we say that we were transported in by Razmir's magic? Praise be to Razmir?

there's nothing i have which is guaranteed to stop both guards. Heck, there's nothing i have which is guaranteed to stop one guard. My best shot was the bluff check, but if anyone fails a bluff check it's hard for anyone to succeed.

And I already blew that! We have grit, and determination on our side. And possibly luck, but not so far!

Other than the mask and a door and a scroll in a chest, we've seen no magic. So we have that going for us...I hope! Let's get them!

Using message:Close your eyes! Flare!
Pistol: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Damage: Pistol: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Using message:Close your eyes! Flare!

[dice=Pistol]1d20 +8
[dice=Damage: Pistol]1d8 + 1

Looks like I was a minute too late. I was going to suggest we stay quiet. Possibly cast Grease on these guys and take them out prone. With blades. But I think it is still Sekkim's initiative, so maybe not too late.

I also wish we'd have taken out the guys downstairs., They are now behind us and not incapacitated.

Rolande goes after the priest at the top of the stairs, so he has not gone yet. With grease you either get their swords or make them prone, not both. Making them prone however will prevent them from running down the hall, but they can yell. Your not sure if this will be heard wake everyone up. Yelling is not as loud as Rolande's blasting caps. Sekkim want to try grease or some other action?

Sekkim and Cela are up before the priest at the top of the stairs can do anything.

Message me and I will refrain, Buchart said this has gone bad, so controlled chaos may not be so bad. If they can stop them before my initiative I will stand down.

Grease the entryway behind us, after we stop the priest.

Heat Metal On them both.

Sekkimm's action will go 1st, but to resolve this.
Cela casts heat metal on their iron masks. (they don't have metal armor and just rapers which are not in hand at the moment).

On the first round of the spell, the metal becomes warm and uncomfortable to touch but deals no damage. The same effect also occurs on the last round of the spell's duration. During the second (and also the next-to-last) round, intense heat causes pain and damage. In the third, fourth, and fifth rounds, the metal is searing hot, and causes more damage, as shown on the table below.

Round Metal Temperature Damage
1 Warm None
2 Hot 1d4 points
3–5 Searing 2d4 points
6 Hot 1d4 points
7 Warm None

P1 Will save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
P2 Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

They both fail their save and will take action on their turns. Removing the mask is a move action.

heading home - AFK for 30 min

Since there is great need I will invoke Kassen's powers! I would like to use my scale token from Kassen on my attack roll on the priest trying to head to the door!

Heading home too-AFK for an hour or so.

Back online, great idea Buchart!

No guns! back ... treacherous roads

I will continue up the stairs as quick and quiet as possible..

We need to rush them right now while they are helpless. We can kill them quickly before they ever get a chance to do anything.

Death to the Fidels! the infidels.. the robed wackadoodles!!!!!

Where is the GM?

Here - I just need Sekkim to determine his action, before I resolve priest at the top then Buchart etc.

Sekkim is up - Cast grease or another action?
Cela - She cast heat metal then advanced 10' (20' of movement)
Priest 1 (top of stairs)
Buchart
Anaba
Rolande
Priest 2 (Moving)

Check this out!.

No rush - we can resolve the combat tomorrow!

I already said my action.

Sekkimm moves down the stairs and starts moving the pews toward the doors to block entry into the temple through area T3 to prevent the other priests and Acolytes from entering.

Cela's spell goes off and the priests masks start to get warm. She advances 10' up the stairs.

The priest at the top of the stairs realizes his mask is getting uncomfortably warm and rips it off (move action) then moves around the corner to T19 (move action).

Buchart uses his scale to reroll (you can change actions if you want since now that the situation has changed)

Anaba and Rolande are up as well.

Buchart
Anaba
Rolande
Priest 2 (Moving)

Sekkim
Cela
Priest 1 (top of stairs)

can i double move and catch him?

You can get up to him in the adjacent square, but will have no actions left.
