Dotting in, for watching :). Thanks Ragnarok for picking this up for me!

Grand Lodge

Dot can't wait I will make my alias tomorrow.


My pleasure!

Feel free to not make an Alias if you don't want, so as to reduce Alias Bloat, Keeg. Doesn't chap my hide either way :)


Sure.


Sure. Just gotta pick spells and post it online. Give me a day.


Here's Pharom. I have like 56k gold left. Is it safe/fair to handwave some of that into scribing things into my formula book, and use some for an assortment of weapon blanches on various arrows, including the Holy ones (Ghost Salt and Adamantine)? Or do you want the math worked out and the arrows identified prior to combat?

Also, ADM, Keeg, and Zhu - any suggestions on what to do with the cash, or build ideas?

I’m going to withdraw. Building a level 20 is a huge investment and i don’t think i’m up to it.

Were you the Divine caster/Cleric? Or the Sorcerer?

Neither. Mine was still not posted.


Ah. In that case I'm happy to fill a different role if one is needed, and an Archer-Alchemist isn't the best fit.


Seems like we still need a few more people. I'll post in the recruitment thread.

And yes, Hedwick, going full caster might be a good decision :p


I have a Herald Caller Cleric of Sarenrae/Dawnflower Anchorite in the works.

I typically prefer Arcane casters, but I'm happy to do some weird summon/buff shenanigans, if that's what we need.

Silver Crusade

Venture Lieutenant, Play by Post (online)

I haven't built a character yet, because I'm still waiting to know for sure if I'm in, but I'm still interested in building a level 20 paladin. I can put one together pretty quick because of PCGen. Would be build for melee.


So we'll have a Paladin and a Monk, is Keeg still around? If not, dibs on making yet another character - I have a straight Abjurer wizard 20 I've been looking to play with for awhile.


Go ahead, Redelia. Hedwick, if you want to run 2 characters, I'm not opposed to that.

Grand Lodge

I still here, and I made my alias this is from Keeg.


This is the alias I will use for my paladin. I'm recycling one.

I have the character mostly built, but will finish up tomorrow. Spending all that money is tough...


Male Hp 254 | Init +20 Perc +42 | AC 58 Touch 36 Flat Footed 38 | Fort +30 Ref +22 Will +29 Unchained Monk 15/Fighter (Mutation Warrior) 5

That’s 4. I’m ready whenever.


So, Paladin, Monk, Sorcerer, and my Divine something-or-other?

Do we want to take a bit to figure out buffs for each other, etc.? Do we also want to maybe figure out what we can all do - as would be true for a level 20 group - or are we just going to wing it?

I only ask because this is going to be *hard* and I want to make sure we're up to the task.


Loria is built for damaging evil things and healing/condition removal in others. Enlarge person or haste are probably the most helpful buffs if someone wants to assist her.

Another very helpful thing would be if someone can reduce the enemy's will save. The paladin capstone is that if a smite attack hits, it casts banishment, which is negated by a will save. _IF_ the banishment works, Hania can theoretically get rid of the enemy in one hit. And she can repeat this for seven rounds. I think I've calculated that it's a DC 31 will save the evil outsider would have to beat to not be banished. Not likely to work, but may be worth trying to make more likely. If it has SR, the caster level check will be 1d20+24 because of bonuses to the check.


Okay. I'm trying to figure out which spells to prepare on the Cleric - I can get Heroism for the front-liners with my aura, and Magic Circle Against Evil. Beyond that, I'm not sure what other stuff y'all want me to prep.

If our Sorc has haste, that would be great. So would Overland Flight - we can pass around a Ring of Spell Storing (or whatever it's called) to give the personal, long-duration buffs.


I lied. That cleric is trash. CR 26 monsters will stomp all over Summoned monsters like they're papier machè.

So I made a new Cleric, because I figured a Paladin and a Monk could both dig some Bard-song-lovin'

Still a WIP, but this is a little closer to what I was shooting for with the Herald Caller.


Except Loria could give the summoned monsters smite evil, with her full bonuses. And if they're within 10 ft of her, they get various save bonuses.


I'm sorry guys, I have to bow out of this. Some of my other games are just not ending as soon as they should have. I will leave the alias as is for a few weeks so that if someone wants to use the stats they can; I know what a pain it can be to build high level characters.

Well, that's a shame. I hope you enjoy the end of your existing games, Loria!


So we still have Jong Shuo the Generalist Sorcerer, and Master Zhu, the Mutagenic Monk, plus whichever of my two Clerics you prefer - either the Summoning one or the Bard-song/Archer one.

The summoning cleric can pump out 5 Monadic Devas as a Standard action, or 5-7 Movanic Devas. He has an aura of Heroism, and is solid in melee.

The archer cleric has Inspire Competence as a 17th level Bard (+4 to attack and damage), and is much more likely to do some damage himself, especially with Shapechange active to turn him into a Huge Air Elemental. He also has an Animal Companion as a level 16 Druid, of which he can create a copy, for some teamwork feat/flanking shenanigans.

I'm flexible, but really like high-level play, so I keep posting because I want to see MonkeyGod's creature go down. :D


Rather than try to find someone else, I'm fine with you running two characters, Hedwick.

We'll get this started on Monday. If you guys like, you can discuss tactics in Discussion; you're all high level adventurers and I'm going to say you've adventured together for years, so know each other well.


I’ll finish the Archer and submit the final 4th person tomorrow. Was a crazy weekend. But I should be able to do both without much issue.


Any news on starting this thing?


Yes. Starting now.

Your party has been together for years, adventuring and gaining great power and prestige. So it was only natural that, when word of a terrible demon wielding phenomenal powers broke out, that your party would eventually investigate.

Unlike many you have fought, this particular creature has made no secret of where it is. From what you can tell, it has made a lair for itself on the grounds where a grand battle once took place. It has taken to carving arcane glyphs into the very stone, and those few who have seen it report that it is undertaking some dark work.

You travel there to stop it.

You find a creature no larger than a man, though it is certainly more horrifying than one. It's limbs are distended and end in long, clawed digits, it's feet more resembling talons. It's skin is grey and pallid, and malevolent eyes sit above what's more beak than mouth.

It's time to roll initiative!

If any of those hits had Intimidate checks that caused the creature to become Shaken, it is considered flat-footed, which procs Medusa's Wrath, giving me two more attacks at my highest base attack bonus. I will also spend a Ki Point for another Flurry attack at my highest base attack bonus.

Jong Shu will cast clashing rocks twice once with the quicken rod once normally both with maximize rod on the beast just so that no allies are caught in the blast. Initiative: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
to hit clashing rocks number one touch: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25to hit clashing rocks number two touch: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27
make a reflex save for both dc30. if they miss they deal 60 points of bludgeoning and knock him prone. if they hit the deal 120 points of bludgeoning and knock him prone also if they fail the save the are affected as if they got caught in a cave in.

clashing rocks:
You create two Colossal-sized masses of rock, dirt, and stone and slam them together against a single creature between them. The clashing rocks appear up to 30 feet away from the target on opposite sides and rush toward it with a mighty grinding crash. You must make a ranged touch attack to hit the target with the rocks. The clashing rocks ignore concealment and cover, and if there is a solid barrier between the target and either of the clashing rocks, the spell has a +28 bonus on the Strength check to burst through the barrier and continue unimpeded to the target. A creature struck by the clashing rocks takes 20d6 points of bludgeoning damage and is knocked prone. If the target fails a Reflex saving throw, it is also buried under the resulting rubble as if by a cave-in (see Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook 415).

If the clashing rocks miss the target, the target still takes 10d6 points of bludgeoning damage from falling rocks and is knocked prone. A successful Reflex save reduces this damage to half and the target remains standing. Creatures other than the target that occupy the spaces where the clashing rocks appear or within their path (30 feet wide, 30 feet high, and up to 60 feet long) must also make Reflex saves or take 10d6 points of bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone (save for half and remain standing). A creature can only take damage once from the clashing rocks, no matter how many times the clashing rocks pass over a target creature.

Add Heroism to your attacks, Jong and Zhu, so they're 2 higher, if that matters at all. Also, I don't believe you can use 2 metamagic rods on the same spell, like Quicken and Maximize.


Your attacks are mighty, and you reduce the enemy to nothing; it falls to the ground, dead.

Zhu, your fourth and fifth attacks missed; all other attacks hit.

Jong, by the time your rocks hit it, the enemy was already dead, and so was allowed no saving throw; it is buried beneath a pile of rocks.

Ursk, it is a Medium sized creature, and by the time your turn rolled around it was dead. You can take a different action if you wish.

We are, however, still in initiative. Pharom, it is your turn.

Pharom Knowledge Roll:
You are able to determine that the creature is undoubtedly an evil outsider. It also has several special abilities. You do not want it to lay hold of you; despite the fact that it was medium sized, you've seen similar demons distend their jaws and swallow whole creatures of any size once they have a hold on them.

Furthermore, you know it carries a disease that will sap your will. It seems as though it can spread it as a breath weapon or through a bite attack.

Finally, you know that it has the standard abilities of most powerful evil outsiders; immunity to poisons and non-magical weapons and death effects and resistance (if not immunity) to most forms of energy damage.

Initiative Order (as I understand it):
Round 2:
Pharom (41)
Master Zhu (40)
Jong Shuo (18)
Ursk (13)
Creature (Unknown)

"Beware, friends. This creature may not yet be killed. That seemed far too easy. This is a powerful Demon, and I would not count it out yet."

Ready Action

Readied Action and Trigger:

Cast Calcific Touch and deliver through weapon attack if an enemy creature is within threatened range.

Jong Shu will draw his efreeti bottle and open it if nobody objects.
what efreeti will do: 1d100 + 1d10 ⇒ (51) + (10) = 61

efreeti bottle:
This item is typically fashioned of brass or bronze, with a lead stopper bearing special seals. Periodically, a thin stream of bittersmelling smoke issues from the bottle’s top. The bottle can be opened once per day. When opened, the efreeti imprisoned within issues from the bottle instantly amid a cloud of noxious smoke. There is a 10% chance (01–10 on d%) that the efreeti is insane and attacks immediately upon being released. There is also a 10% chance (91–100) that the efreeti of the bottle grants three wishes. In either case, afterward the efreeti disappears forever, and the bottle becomes nonmagical. The other 80% of the time (11–90), the inhabitant of the bottle loyally serves the character for up to 10 minutes per day (or until the efreeti’s death), doing as she commands. Roll each day the bottle is opened for that day’s effect.

Jong Shuo, your bottle opens and the Efreeti inside rushes out, ready to serve.

You all have another turn. List your actions and we will continue.

Ursk will move such that he is 30' from the monster, and within 30' of his allies, and cast Particulate Form on everyone, followed by a Quickened Divine Power on himself.

Pharom will drink his extract of Elemental Body III, then use a swift action to activate Arcane Strike for the round. He will remain adjacent to both Master Zhu and the monster, if possible.
