"I'll take care of the lock."
Akaash tries to open the lock carefully.
Taking 10 on Disable Device for a result of 21. Also, it appears I completely forgot to buy my nonmagical gear (backpack, etc). May I do it now, please?
Algonso Gentky |
Algonzo will keep with whomever his Adventure Buddy happens to be (so as not to be a hypocrite.) He'll scold the would-be burglar, "Of course it is; it's not like this isn't someone's residence."

Moving into the room behind the mirror, you find what appears to be Flinn's study. This large study has clearly been ransacked. Papers and inkwells have been thrown around the room. A large wooden cabinet lies on its back, its closed doors facing the ceiling. A window in the east wall has been broken out.
The west wall is a large tinted window overlooking a well-appointed alchemy lab. Something makes a loud thump from inside the fallen cabinet.
Several clay jars lay in a pile in the middle of the study.
Akaash Vashtar |
Shrugging, Akaash simply replies "We're here to find what Finn is up to, perhaps he's been abducted so we'd better check every possible lead."
He interrupts himself, surprised by the sound coming from the cabinet.
Anything in the desk?
Kafir Raml-meshayh-alemlhed |
Kafir joins the others in the study. "Did you hear that in the cabinet? Must be where the noise is coming from."
Kafir moves to the cabinet and wrenches it open.
GM Tektite |
Yeah, just making sure you weren't listening to that Razmiran!
Also, I forgot earlier, you can definitely purchase your gear.
Akaash picks the lock on the drawer and opens it to find 3 doses of itching powder, two liquid blades, and two draughts of elixir of last will.
As Akaash follows the other into the next room, Kafir wrenchs open the cabinet. Inside he sees nothing, but feels air movement as if something passed by him. Moments later, the party is beset upon by tiny, flying, orb-shaped creatures with maws filled with rows and rows of teeth!

Knowledge (all): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19 additional +4 if it's arcana. I'd like to know about their elemental resistances & immunities, DR, special attacks, please. I'll wait until I have more information to decide what to do.
Kafir Raml-meshayh-alemlhed |
@GM: are you of the opinion that my +2 against divine applies to demons, daemons, devils, etc that potentially gain their power from a divine source? I think it says that's up to GM discretion in my abilities. Not that it matters here but for future reference.
Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 + 2 against divine

Akaash Vashtar |
Actually I asked about the information in the post where I made the roll. So elemental resistances and DR, please.
Akaash steps away from the daemon and drinks an extract of targeted bomb admixture.
Akaash Vashtar |
No worries, thanks for the information! If they have reach the one on me can take an AoO. I'm hoping they don't since they had to move to our squares to attack... is that too metagamey?
Algonso Gentky |
Obviously, I'm not the DM, but I figure reach is obvious after an attack (unless a bad wants to be super sneaky and attack at less than their reach.)
I am correct in reading that nobody's hurt, yes?
-Posted with Wayfinder
GM Tektite |
Yeah, you know it has no reach.
Akaash moves away and drinks an extract!

"Cold iron did you say?" Kafir reluctantly drops his khopesh and stabs at the nearby daemon with his cold iron dagger, continuing to hold his shield up with his other arm.

Edit: I apparently pasted the stats for a ceustodaemon (actually it's not that either, not sure where I got it.) instead of a cacodaemon. I had both sets of stats up as, Algonso knows, I have both daemons in combats right now. Sorry about that! Kafir can retcon if he wants.
Correct Stats: DR 5/good or silver; Immune acid, death effects, disease, poison; Resist cold 10, electricity 10, fire 10
Kafir Raml-meshayh-alemlhed |
Well if it's only DR/5 Kafir would probably keep his khopesh out since that does more damage.
+1 khopesh power attack: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 2 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 4 = 16

Kafir chops hisfalcatakhopesh into the one near him, nearly bringing it down!
Hey, I spent a feat getting access to that bad boy!
Akaash Vashtar |
Prescience: 1d20 ⇒ 7
Akaash will step away from his daemon and throw a bomb at it!
Bomb, RTA: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 182d6 + 13 ⇒ (6, 6) + 13 = 25 fire damage, no splash

Al sees nobody hurt enough to require his healing.
Delay until someone is +10 damage, then move up to cure via Bardic Performance.

Akkash tosses another bomb and the daemon he targets falls to the ground, a burnt corpse!
Kafir swings hard and brings down a second daemon, while Algonso looks on!

With two well-aimed blows, the final daemon is destroyed!
Out of Combat!
Looking around the room, you find nothing more of interest other than the pile of jars in the floor. Looking closer, you see the outline of a trapdoor underneath, as if the jars were intended to fall on someone opening the door from below.
GM Tektite |
Continuing to search the house, Roger! moves the jars, which Akaash identifies as burst jars, (12 total) and opens the trapdoor. Peering through the trapdoor, the party sees a lab below.
Bright windows line the exterior of this large laboratory, illuminating row after row of shelves stocked with chemical reagents, minerals and metals, and creature parts. A low partition separates a small office in the eastern third of the lab, and two stone tables take up space in the western part of the room. It’s clear that multiple alchemists perform work here.
Source Ultimate Equipment pg. 107
Price 35 gp; Weight 1 lb.
Category Alchemical Weapons
Description
This simple clay pot has two sealed, airtight inner chambers containing alchemical liquids. The jar is thrown as a splash weapon. It shatters on impact, covering the target with a mixture of the two liquids. One round later on your turn, the liquids react and explode with concussive force. The target takes 1 point of sonic damage, is deafened for 1d4 rounds, and must make a DC 12 Fortitude save or be stunned for 1 round. Creatures within 5 feet of the explosion take 1 point of sonic damage. The target can use a full-round action to scrape or wash off the liquid before it detonates, depositing the material in its square or an adjacent square; the material detonates as normal, though the original target only takes damage as if it were within 5 feet of the explosion. Crafting this item is a DC 25 Craft (alchemy) check.

Searching the laboratory, Akaash finds that it contains every material component a practicing alchemist needs to mix extracts of the third tier or lower, as well as two potions of lesser age resistance and 85 cp.
The lab counts as a full alchemist’s lab, and provides the equivalent of four alchemy crafting kits. The lab also contains notes sufficient for an alchemist to learn some of Flinn's extracts.
2nd—barkskin, cat’s grace, cure moderate wounds, resist energy
1st—cure light wounds, expeditious retreat, true strike
Akaash Vashtar |
"Those alchemical potions are intended to delay the vicissitudes of age. A befitting work for one caring about his former companions."
Akaash pockets the notes concerning the extracts, making a mental note to return them as soon as he's copied them.
GM Tektite |
Finishing the inspection of the second floor, the party opens the remaining door to reveal a guest bedroom. Searching, you find nothing of interest.
Going back downstairs, the party checks the southwestern door, opening it to reveal a dining and gaming room. This room features a large oval dining table, a full-sized billiards table, and three comfortable, padded chairs. A rack of expensive billiards sticks is attached to the east wall.
Moving north, you enter the kitchen. The aroma of cooked lamb hangs in the air, but otherwise the kitchen is unremarkable. A door in the east wall leads to a small patio with a fire pit, where food can also be prepared outside in warm weather. A short walkway to the north leads to what appears to be the servants’ quarters.
