Nixie's Moonscar (Inactive)

Game Master MayDay

Reflex vs Lunar Entangle: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27

Valena steps back a bit and sees Sandin slump, precious gem in hand. As the gem glows, she realizes what he is doing. Deciding to give him a helping hand, she stares at Nadezdha. She stands transfixed, glaring at her target muttering an occult incantation under her breath. Her eyes flash as she finishes, and to top it off, she cackles madly for a moment, thinking of the chaos that might ensue.

Evil Eye on Nadezdha DC 26, Targeting Saving Throws. If she fails, she takes -4 to each save for 10 rounds, if she makes it she still has the effect for one round. Cackling as a move action extends this effect for one round regardless of success or failure.

Vidar is not even bothered by the Lunar entangle with his ring of freedom of movement. He moves closer to the succubus and points his Holy gun at her, shooting repeatedly.

"First round ladies!"

Ignore DR as if adamantine, counts as good aligned
Holy gun attack 1, ranged touch: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (1) + 26 = 27 ah well automatic miss on the first attack.

Blechkh! I hate witches Nadezdha says with a smile.

Round 1_______________
Ref save vs Lunar Entangle: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39
Elros nimbly stepped aside, avoiding being gripped by the thorny vines.

Slowly Elros bent 'Icosiol' his Lightning Bow as he drew the string to his cheek. The string hummed with eagerness and both arrows crackled with small lightning flashes.
Well, if I am reading Lady Gabrielle correctly, she wants to take one of them alive to talk to. No need for the other two then.

Full attack on Katyanak, Hasted, Point Blank, Rapid Shot, Manyshot.
Point blank, Manyshot, Rapid Shot
Longbow attack #1 (two arrows): 1d20 + 24 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 24 + 1 - 2 = 37 for a possible 1d8 + 1d8 + 7 + 7 + 1 + 1 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + (6) + 7 + 7 + 1 + 1 + (3) + (4) = 30 Piercing and Lightning damage.

Blechkh! I hate witches Nadezdha says with a smile.

"Nadezdha," Lady Gabrielle taunts from the top of the portal. "I believe that you have forgotten your previous rivalry, right when we were getting started."

Everybody check this round summary then we will move on:

Round 1

GM: Yes, that's my turn in Round 2.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Map Updated

Nadezdha turns to answer Gabi's taunts. Come down from there, my sweet little hussy! I wish to have a word with you!

"It appears that your sister will have the first opportunity to converse with me, unfortunately for you," she calls back.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Round 2

Katyana: *gurgle gurgle*

The Lady flicks her fan shut, sending drops of demon blood elsewhere, then gives her glasses a gentle push, enough so she can look down her nose at the demon whose cheek she just slashed.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Give me a check: 1d20 + caster level. If you roll at least equal to the her spell resistance of 20 you may possess her body and make her round 2 actions for her...

Knut's summons burst in to being...

Zvetlana takes a bow and says, Sandin Graysmire, at your service. She then takes a seat and watches the show.

Katyana and Nadezdha blink in amazement!

Katyana: Sister, what bewitchery has overcome you!?

Zvetlana opens her eyes. She is in a glass-like room, the light all around her is bright (orange? color of the jewel). Realizing where she is she beats frantically at the crystal walls of her prison. Help! Somebody help me!
I am trapped! Soul-stone trapped! Oh, the stories I've heard of genies and succubi trapped in such stones for thousands of years! How will I survive??

Feelings of despair begin to overtake her...

sandin you bastard...you soul-stone trapped my poor succubus, lol!

and a little winged helmet appears right next to Nadezdha, giving nob flanking bonus. The cassian does not attack but just aids Nob in his assault. Knut looks at what he has summoned and is content. Now ready to face the other he smiles at Katyana and tells the others about their defenses and offenses.

As the Cassinan appears Nadezdha smiles wide: Ah, angelic scum! My favorite...

Katyana, return through the portal! Find help, and tell our Lady, Izmiara, that we may have finally found lovers worthy of her embrace! Nadezdha laughs darkly.

Then turning to Nob she beckons him with a long index finger, seductively. Come here, large one, Are my lips not red for you? Kiss me! casts suggestion DC25 or you gotta do it, bwahaha! She puckers her lips!
No need for concentration check since the Cassinian is not attacking?

I will do as you command, Sister, but what of Zvetlana? Do we abandon her to these foes?

Katyana teleports, placing herself just millimeters from the portal. Gabi has one final swipe (AoO) before the succubus disappears through the portal's watery sheen and is gone.

so that leaves us here...

Round 2

Fan AO, defensively: 1d20 + 30 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 30 + 1 - 1 = 47 for damage: 1d4 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
If that hits, the fortuitous fan grants a second AO at -5:
[dice=fortuitous fan AO, defensively]1d20+30+1-1-5[/dice] for damage: 1d4 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

The Lady crouches as she slashes her opened fan at Katyana below her, then she slides her left foot away from her, enough to enable to reach farther down from the portal's frame and make another cut.

"Izimara, you say..."

Knowledge(any): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27 - she's probably never heard of her.

Reflex vs Lunar Entangle: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35

Valena scowls at the lone hostile succubus. Disappointed her hex wasn't as effective as she had hoped, she knew she could still get some use out of it.

She spoke harshly, a steely edge slipping into her voice. "I wasn't quite finished with our conversation," and with that Valena casts Charm Person DC 19

Nadezdha will be taking a -4 on her saves, the Corset of Dire Witchcraft bolsters the effective level of a hex by 2.

Normally,
-4 due to your corset, but
+5 due to the fact that she is "being attacked by you or your allies" as stated in the charm person spell, right?

However, Nadezdha voluntarily yields that +5 to pretty ladies who try charm spells on her. What self respecting succubus wouldn't? So...

will save: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 10 - 4 = 16

Oooo, a charm spell! How perfectly lovely, dear!

And indeed you do charm her...if, that is, you pass her spell resistance of 20. Feel free to roll 1d20+caster level at your convenience, Valena! Isn't this game fun?!?

The hunter takes the time to clear his gun while thinking about the name Izmara, after all hunting evil outsiders was one of his favorite past time.

Standard action to quick clear the gun, have 1 grit point, not spending it.

Knowledge (Planes): 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (3) + 24 = 27 Assuming she is an evil outsider like them, if not the case, removes -8 from the knowledge check.

Save vs Suggestion, +4 vs Enchantments: 1d20 + 21 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 21 + 4 = 34
Save vs Entangle: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (13) + 30 = 43

Griff steps five feet towards his flanked foe and lays into the Succubus with his implanted arsenal.

Would someone move me again 5ft Left'ish, I'll be off my phone and back on my home PC when I get back in town, til then googledocs hates meeee. Appreciated! :) We'll Full Attack with Monowhip and Zero Pistol. All Attacks vs touch AC.

Confirm Attack 1: 1d20 + 29 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 29 + 1 + 2 = 49
Crit 1 Extra Damage: 4d6 + 28 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 1) + 28 = 40

Overcoming SR: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20
Reflex vs Lunar Entangle: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31
Woot! Made a 20! What follows is assuming the orc isn't acutally going to murderize the newest ally of the group.

Valena relishes her success with a smile and saunters over to Nadedzha. Walking around her like some kind of vulture, Valena speaks slowly with smug satisfaction, "Oh I will command you. First, why don't you tell me all about what you and your sisters were doing here and what exactly lies beyond that portal. Don't leave anything out, I absolutely love a good story."

She had come to stop between Nadezdha and the portal, dragging her finger across her cheek as she had turned, hping to keep the rest of the group out of her sight just in case.

So assuming I didn't miss anything on your character sheet that makes the monowhip overcome the DR10/cold...

The evil succubus howls in pain at the Orc's onslaught. She's been onslaughted many times but not like this. She doubles over.

Enough! Enough, I yield!

END COMBAT.

Nadezdha obeys Valena's charm spell, and explains who she is and what she was doing here...

2d8 + 14 ⇒ (7, 5) + 14 = 26

Whiping her mouth she looks at her sister Zvetlana. What have you done with my beloved sister? Release her and I promise I will reward you with pleasures unimagined!

As Nadezdha spills her guts, Elros paused his attack.
Hm, Lady Gabrielle was right, they DID have useful information.
His eyes wandered over to the ring structure she stood on top of.
"A whole city full of demons." He wondered aloud.

He almost smiled.

"This explains a lot. I love it if bits of information deliver a full picture. Now, please destroy those... slimes so that we can continue. One escaped and has doubtless warned the others. We should not be weighted down with useless things. Dangerous useless things."

Valena stepped out in front of Nadezdha, as if to shield her from Knut's words. She scowled at the dwarf, "I beg your pardon, but the succubus is mine now. She obeys me for the time being and who knows, perhaps I'll keep her as a pet if she survives?" She spun on her heel to face her newest 'ally'. She gripped her by the chin and held her firmly, as though appraising her. "Your sister is fine. You can trust me. Do exactly as I bid and I will protect you."

She continued, walking over to Sandin in the other succubus's body, "Besides, between Sandin having control of Zvetlana, and I being Nadezdha's mistress for the time being, I think we might have the opportunity for some subterfuge. I realize some -", here she stopped and shot a glance at the trigger happy paladin, "-might object to deception, but I think we would be remiss if we didn't explore every option. Think for a moment: if we are brought through as prisoners, would we not end up wherever our dear Professor ended up? One of you burly sorts could carry Sandin's body, and we'd have two agents of ours on the outside to investigate and set up for our eventual escape."

She paused, giving a moment's thought to what she had just said. "Of course there's the possibility they don't actually take prisoners, in which case our quest for the Professor would quite clearly be over."

Looking at the woman the dwarf thinks for a moment before laughing out loud. And you really think that works? I mean 6 people carrying more magic than the absolom acadamy just being prisoners and follow some succubi. Girl, you have woven an enchantment and you should know, at least I hope, how fickle those are! Or do you say we should leave our magic behind. Those beings are far from dumb! And have more years of subterfuge behind them than all of us combined!"

Elros nodded his agreement at Knut's argument.
"Your plan depends on your servitor demon being loyal and self-sacrificing." He said, shaking his head. "You would be best served by disposing of them before they betray you."
"In any case, I can see Lady Gabrielle having the skill to successfully deceive a Succubus; the rest of us could not act our way past a blind and deaf dwarf."
He glanced sideways at Knut.
"Ah, no offence."

I for one prefer to stay in my present situation. My control is absolute and I have set up wards against any divination magic. Perhaps you have taken me prisoner and wish for an exchange.

Nobb, do you mind tossing my body into your bag of holding? Sandin says as he unceremoniously picks up his dead (ish) body and walks it back to the group. I propose that you have captured me, either that or we let our hunter hunt a bit when we get through the gate. Either way it looks like we know where we need to go.

Sandin examines the portal and if he finds nothing of great concern he trusts in his preparations and asks, Any last minute preparations before we head through?
Perception: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28
Knowledge Aracana: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (18) + 31 = 49
Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (19) + 31 = 50
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (13) + 29 = 42
UMD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30

Sandin knowledge: examining the portal you know that this type of jaunt through space ill give you a 60% chance of being stunned for 1 round upon reaching the other side. Yet who could resist a trip to the moon - a place even more mysterious and uncharted than the shadow plane?

Lady Gabrielle gives her glasses a quick adjustment before speaking. "Regardless of whether she is your pet, I believe that having one of them under our control can only prove to be useful," she explains.

"There is one matter before we venture forth. What is our actual objective? If the old stories are true, we will find ourselves in a place that is rather alluring to the mind and body. If our intentions are all in agreement, I imagine we will be less likely to be ensnared by their pleasant temptations. Fortunately, we will have our good friend Nadezdha along to direct us," she says, giving the demon a quick tap on the shoulder with her closed fan.

Elros nodded.
"Clear objectives; yes. Clarity is all to the good."
He thought for a moment.
"Well then.
"First; we rescue those who can be rescued.
"Second; punish those who need punishing.
"Third; cut the connection that allows them to travel here."

I am merely borrowing this body. Unfortunately I have no control over the mind and soul, which I have removed. I am simply in here because on journeys such as this, it is safer to be in someone else's body. Our new friend might be useful in questioning, as her mind is intact. But I am in agreement our goals should be clear. I for one am interested in a little exploration.

If those are our goals then lets get going. Sandin says as he heads up to the portal, who is going first?

The Lady's face acquires an inquisitive look. "If the connection to Golarion were to be severed, how would we return?" she asks.

My Lady, you have a wizard.
It is my understanding that the moon scar is coterminous with the abyss; which in turn is coterminous with the material plane. Two plane shifts and a teleport and we are back where we would like to be anywhere on Golarion. If the Abyss sounds like a bad idea, the Astral plane is coterminous with all others and may be useable as well. Although something in my knowledge checks led me to believe that I would need to travel through the abyss when leaving or entering the Moon Scar, some kind of local issue. We would only need to be in the abyss for a round. The key would be to Plane Shift to a location that does not have an instantaneously deadly location within 500 miles. I have a few abyssal realms in mind.

"Your arcane confidence is admirable. However, I imagine that if the way to Golarion was a simple matter of a few spells, the demons would have solved it long ago," she explains.

Well, I will go through first if you all want. I mean, I brought you all here...I can't ask you all to do anything I wouldn't do myself!

With that, Nix-a-saurus steps through the portal. *wwwwwhhhhaaaaammph*

And vanishes.

"Well then, we should stack ourselves next to the portal in order of... Nixie wait!" Elros called out to the girl. Reaching out for her, he plunged through the portal after her.

Valena had been seated by the portal, admonishing herself for not doing this for her companions earlier. She performed a hasty harrowing using The Path as the array. It seemed appropriate, given that they were about to take a journey farther than any of them had ever likely taken. The actual action of the journey consisted of a single step, but that made little matter.

Forgot to perform the Blessing of the Harrow at the beginning. I draw 4 cards; the majority suit gives a bonus to the group for 24 hours. 1= +1 on attack rolls, 2= +1 AC, 3= +1 on weapon damage rolls, 4= +1 on all skill checks, 5= +1 on all saves, 6= +1 caster level & concentration checks

Everyone gets +1 AC for the rest of the day.

When it seemed a consensus might finally be reached, Nixie went and stepped through the portal. Valena hastily scooped up her cards as she watched the elven paladin run on after the foolish girl. She scowled, "So much for a plan... Come along my pet." She gave a motion to Nadezdha to follow her through the portal and she jumped into the vortex.
