Seoni // Pregen |
Seoni moves to the position where she won't hurt her companions by lightning bolt and casts it.
Lightning bolt DC 20 Reflex for half-damage: 7d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 2, 1, 4, 5, 1) = 19
Btw, has it burnt a hole in the walls before and in the door now?
Lila Andrea Salomé |
Lila will use her Silver Crusade faction reward: Miracle Worker to do Swift action Lay on Hands on herself
Swift action, Lay on Hands: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 2) = 10
Lila takes a 5' step away, and cries out in defiance, "I vow to destroy you, vile beast!"
Legalistic Curse: Vow allows a +4 morale bonus on a d20 roll, used on SR check
She casts Magic Missile.
SR check: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 4 = 19
Force Damage: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 1, 1) + 5 = 15
with that friggin' roll, don't know if it matters, but Lila will target the one on Thor (Red one), if it's still up after Lightning bolt. Otherwise, target the green one.
after her turn is done, if Thor is conscious after Breath of Life and is still grappled, Lila will pop off Liberating Command as an immediate action.
DM Feral Need to know how many rounds since we walked into the room. Lila just started round 6 of our combat, and she had 9 rounds of Shield after entering the room. Sorry for the micromanage, but we're on the razor's edge, and need to know. Thanks
Seoni // Pregen |
I wonder why he's missing, coz everytime he's not posting here, he posts at another Gameday 5 game oO
Helikon´s PREGEN |
Ready to cast the spell the shaman inhales and breaths deeply onto Thor.Because I rarely get updates for some reason. And I look almost every day now.
Scroll check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
BoL: 5d8 + 9 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 5, 5) + 9 = 27
DM Feral |
That should land the caster level check.
SR Checks for Seoni: 2d20 ⇒ (6, 8) = 14 Ouch.
Seoni's arc of lightning washes harmlessly over the hostile creatures. Lila has more luck pelting the one near Thor and Helikon but failing to bring it down.
Recognizing the threat of the dwarf's magic the creature ignores the recovering Thor in favor of Helikon.

Seoni uses her wand of MM
SR check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
dmg: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 2 = 8
Lila Andrea Salomé |
Time for blatant consumption of pregen goods: whaddaya got for healing Helikon and Seoni? If we use up all of Helikon's wand, Lila will let him carry her wand of CLW for rest of scenario. She'll also give Helikon her scroll of Breath of life for any future emergency medical needs, since he's been a dang fine squad medic keeping Thor alive...
While Thor's wounds are tended to, Lila will take a look around the room, examining/looting the beasts, checking out the vine, and the rest of the room in general.
Take ten perception=31

Taking many long moments to heal himself back up, "I'm not sure just how much more we can take, but I finding this little quest much more deadly than I'd have imagined possible, here."
Once able to walk once more without help, he will take a drink, offer to heal anyone else that might need it, and then assist in searching the room, while looking over the fallen, thankful he is not amongst their number. Not today at least.

Thor Odinson PFS |
If no one has anything else they need to do, (or can not check for traps), I'll go ahead and open the trapdoor, and assuming nothing happens or we see no immediate threat, begin to head down.
DM Feral |
You mean head up. =P
Finding no traps the party moves up the wide staircase.
This feels like the heart of the strange ship, and the pulse of its energy is almost palpable. The cabin is dominated by a cube composed entirely of brass that balances on one point atop a 3-foot crystal plinth, where it rotates slowly counterclockwise. Every inch of this cubiform monolith is covered in cramped script, symbols, schematic designs, and glyphs. Blue tracers of power flash across its surface every few seconds and are absorbed into these etched characters.
Some of the symbols on the monolith look to be movable by touch. You can attempt an arcana, architecture, engineering, intelligence, or wisdom check to operate it but it's not clear what those operations will do.
Thor Odinson PFS |
<oh, yes you did say ascending, and not descending.>
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
"Oh, I think I've seen one of these before. It looks a bit different than I can recall, but if you touch this small symbol,. .
Know Engineering: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
He stops, just moments before touching one of the glyphs, "Wait. What is tha,. . . What is she?" pointing to some sort of vaguely female shape inside one of the crystals as he approaches.
Tapping on the crystal, "Lady. Are you alive. Do you need help? Can you hear us?"
<I fully expect to be eaten here.>
Lila Andrea Salomé |
"Hmmmm, fascinating device," Lila says.
Lila will take ten Kn-Arcana for 30 for the device. If the feminine shape is also Kn-Arcana, Lila will take ten for 30. Otherwise, she'll rack her brain for other relevant knowledges.
Knowledges any: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
Lila offers the figure a respectful curtsy. If it seems to hear Thor's words, "Greetings. My name is Lila Andreas Salome, and these are my stalwart companions. How may we be of service?"
Take ten Diplomacy=35
Seoni // Pregen |
"Incredible indeed!" - exclaimes Seoni - "But what is this..how does it work...and for what.."
WIsdom: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
DM Feral |
Working together the party is able to manipulate the complex device enough to make two things happen. First Seoni manages to open a well hidden door on the southern side of the room that reveals a smaller set of descending stairs. Shortly afterward Lila tries another combination on the device and the room grows dark as the figure within the device emerges. As its set free the figure rapidly grows into the form of a hideous hag.
The hag stares at the party in disbelief. "I'm free!"
Lila Andrea Salomé |
"A pleasure to be of service, milady," Lila says with a bow. "Nobody deserves to be imprisoned in such a devious device. Who did this to you? Do you require any further assistance? And, if by any chance you have any knowledge you could share about the nature of this vessel, we would appreciate it greatly."
Take ten Diplomacy=35
knowledge check to ID creature: Kn-Arcana=30, any other Knowledge: Knowledge ALL to ID: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26
Thor Odinson PFS |
Nodding his head, "Yes. How did you become trapped here? And how long have you been here?" he asks, offering her a drink.
Seoni // Pregen |
"Look! There is a hidden passage"
When Lila finishes her manipulations with device freeing the captive, Seoni exclaims: "Nice job!"
She then addresses tothe hag: "You are free, indeed. I assume you were trapped for a very very time, but could you spare few minutes answering your liberator's questions?"
DM Feral |
The hag gratefully sips at the water before she considers Lila and Seoni's questions.
"Ages I think as your kind measures time. To be honest I'm not sure how long I've been trapped within that crystal. Many like myself are so held within this vessel. The ship uses us as fuel sources. I can tell you I was only recently moved here to be drained of my life force. I believe it is a race known as 'xill' who now control the ship through a rare plant found on the Ethereal Plane that has some natural empathic abilities, which allows them to tap into the helm. I felt its presence while they were draining me."
Lila Andrea Salomé |
Lila points to the bodies laying around. "Are these the Xill? Any suggestions on how to defeat them, or perhaps destroy the plant? Perhaps you have ways to aid us?
Sense Motive on the hag: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (8) + 25 = 33
Fereal, just a remiinder that Lila has See Invisibility running, which normally sees ethereal and incorporeal, if that's relevant to dealing with the plants and/or Xills/other ethereal creatures
DM Feral |
Noted.
Lila doesn't get the impression that the hag is misleading the party.
She shakes her head. "I'm too weak to be of any help in battling the vermin. You'll have to do it on your own."
At Lila's suggestion of destroying the plant the hag nods in agreement. "Yes, destroying the plant would surely cripple their plans whatever they are."
Thor Odinson PFS |
"Is there any way we might use it? Snatch it away from them, somehow and use it against them? My people have a long history with usilizing trees far beyond what is know here, . . . though I'm no expert on that form of magic."
Seoni // Pregen |
"Let's move on then and destroy that plant."
Seoni will follow Lila's example casting shield before enetering the passage.
Thor Odinson PFS |
I will go ahead and renew Bull's Strength and use a charge of my Wand of Shield, too, then I'm ready to go.
DM Feral |
The narrow stairwell opens out into the ship’s main cargo hold, a massive split-level affair with the upper portion ten feet above accessed by a wide stair. The entire area looks like a giant botanical garden. A massive plant, milky-white and translucent, grows atop the upper hold area and curls about the entire chamber with a forest of fronds, tendrils, and clinging vines. The shapes of multi-armed humanoids can be seen moving about its thick growth of vines and tendrils that appear to grow into the very bulkheads. A number of strangely shaped flowers of deep violet bloom among this tangle, and at the top of the hold stairs, a great gnarled root crown stands like the trunk of a hoary old tree, a crease in its side opened wide like a dragon’s maw. Behind it stretches a winding taproot that disappears toward the bow of the ship, as large around as a wagon.
Clearly discernible within this taproot are the huddled forms of unmoving humanoids.
Four alien creatures, now known as Xill, stand guard here. One is dressed in elaborate garb and stands protectively over the root crown.
Init: 6d20 ⇒ (13, 19, 6, 17, 1, 12) = 68
Lila is up.
Lila Andrea Salomé |
Works for me.
Lila casts Confusion, and tries to pay close attention to who's affected, shouting out to the party which ones she thinks are confused. "Focus your attacks on the ones who are NOT confused. If you attack a confused one, they'll focus their attacks on you--let them fight each other if you can."
SR check Blue: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

DC:23 Will Save
no move, since Staggered this round, but will take a 5' step.
DM Feral |
There's not really much else to know about the xill.
Will: 3d20 ⇒ (6, 13, 5) = 24
Lila's enchantment overwhelms three of the alien creatures. (The upside down ones.)
Before the party can react the elaborately dressed xill weaves a spell that seems to bolster its strength.
The rest of the party is up.
