Fighting Temauhti-tecuani [spoiler alert]


Savage Tide Adventure Path

Silver Crusade

Party

Captain Phen (aventi druid/Legendary Captain)
Sinbad (human cleric/rogue)
Bruce (warlock/enlightened soul)
Oil (vow of poverty warforge monk...think C-3PO)

The party got to the tar pits and started collecting the tar we need to repair the wyvern. Bruce was on point since he has wings and can fly. The enlightened soul is a celestial warlock so they get angel wings. Anyway Bruce saw a party of Phanatons come out to the tar and start collecting their own tar. Sinbad went over to them and befriended them. Shortly after he got back bruce spotted Temauhti-tecuani (herafter referred as TT), the one armed one eyed Trex, charging the phanatons. The party, except Oil (his player wasn't here at this point), charged over to attempt to rescue the Phanatons. Sinbad ran up and said "Get to the woods." At which point, TT decided to bite the largest target. It was a critical bite which took Sinbad from full hp (63hp) to -10. Luckily for him we are using beta so he's got a con of 14, hence dies at -14. Bruce was blasting him the whole time and leading him away from Sinbad. First thing that Sinbad said when he wok e up was "that thing's going to die." but at this point we'd done enough damage to it (bruce blasting and Phen summoning fire elementals to chase it) that TT ran.
We went back to our tar gatherers and told them we were heading off on a Dino hunt. The Phanatons wanted to go on the hunt too so they came and Oil followed us (his player showed up) whining the whole time that we didn't need to kill it (nothing like a pacifist in the party). We track him back to his "lair" and when he lays down (he just ate another dino on the way back). Sinbad waits for him to fall asleep then sneaks up and sovereign glues TT's butt and leg to the rock he was sleeping on, then he moves around to the head and coup de graces TT by shoving his rapier through TT's remaining eye, TT misses the fort save to not get killed by 2. Yes he wasted the sovereign glue but he figured TT would still be alive and chasing after him blindly.
Needless to say, the Phanatons now view Sinbad as a Legend Killer, because it was night then Sinbad pulls out an everburning torch and is standing over a dead TT with his rapier sticking out his eye. (and it's sticking out all the way back to the boat only when we leave the head on the boat.

I play Sinbad, and honestly the fact that I got off the coup de grace amazes me, the dang thing had a +22 fort save and I dealt 17 damage to it (so with a +22 fort it had to make a DC 27 fort save) I was honestly bugged a little that all my planning, spell use, and using my bottle of soveriegn glue wound up being wasted, although the coolness factor of killing this giant thing in one hit after it did the same to me was pretty tight.

Spoiler:

Towards the end of the Adventure Path, the party encounters undead T-rex's that (as bodaks) can have fleeting memories of their past lives.

For my group, one of the T-rex's in particular recognized the PC's (only a 5% chance) multiple times, which (according to the rules) gave the PC's a momentary advantage each time.

Due to this extraordinary coincidence, I ruled that this undead T-rex was indeed Temauhti-tecuani when he was alive.

fwiw: the encounter ended up killing several party members (and that particular T-rex lasted until the end of the battle), so I figure Big-T got some payback.

I'll be sure to tell my DM maybe he can use that.

Anyway we sold the carcus of TT to the olman. *crosses fingers* Metagaming, I hope the above doesn't happen to us. Well, then again we have a warforge saint of Pelor (who incidentally soloed the aspect of Demogorgon) so we have undead covered.


When we killed Temauhti-tecuani I was going to animate the corpse. Unfortunately the rules of the zombie and skeleton template wouldn't allow something with so many hit dice to be animated. We chopped his head off instead.
