#7-00: Sky Key Solution [Tier 10-11] (GM Andrew) (Inactive)

Game Master Yiroep

As they approach Garam will recast Mirror Image just in case and tap himself with Heightened Awareness

Images: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Difficult to say, lets be careful but trying talking first...

Greeting Herald of Aroden, surely you can see that all is not right here, help us to restore the damage done to this place!

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (20) + 28 = 48

Nice time for a nat 20!

Golsan assumes a stance behind Garam, attempting to offer strength and support to his words.

Diplomacy (To aid): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

A bit bored by the whole thing, he cleans his fingernails with his teeth.

It was a 60/40 shot. Figured it was worth a try.

Au walks up beside Garam, opening her hands in open stance.

"Surely as an avatar of Aroden you know what is going on and how we can help you and the great God of Aroden fix this...."

Diplomacy to aid: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Hassari smiles gently.

- Aroden, the Great God may help us and solves this magical trouble ...

Diplomacy, aid: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Is that a 52 diplomacy? Lol!

The man turns to the party with Garam's & Co. convincing words. "So you wish to help Aroden in his ways? Fantastic! I will show you..."

As he speaks, his words are minced as as a green lightning bolt comes from the sky, and two Tyrannosauruses appear. The man looks shocked by this occurrence. "Is this my doing?" He takes a step back from the dinosaurs, unsure of the whole situation.

The dinosaurs roar as they start to attack the party.

Monster Knowledge

Did others want to heal up first? Lol.

If this is what happens when we diplomacise with a 50 I would hate to see what would happen if we just attacked!

Nature 1: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29
Nature 2: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

For a 32.

Ware my friends, these beasts are from an ancient age, do not let them grab you! Golsan, they cannot get hold of you, my magic still protects you!

Not wishing the group to waste time on such as these when their is an impending cataclysm due to hit them Garam raises one hand and projects his mind into theirs...calm, rest, be at peace, their is nothing to fear here, lie down and....slumber

Slumber Hex blue, splitting to red, DC24 will. Assuming it works apologies to anyone who would prefer to fight them but I think we need to be fast dealing with things here and we probably have more important things to worry about. If people would prefer me not to slumber just say so and I will skip it in future.

Garam then retreats a little, successful or not. He will provoke from Blue assuming it is not flat footed

Herald, you must take control of the magic you are commanding or you risk destroying us all!

The Tyrannosauruses try to resist the effect.
Will Save (Blue): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
Will Save (Red): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
They do not fall asleep! ...welp, lol.

They do not attack you as you leave.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The herald responds. "I can try, but I don't think I'm controlling them."

Heh, so much for the vaunted slumber hex!

Bah to healing!

Raven looks up at the beast and smiles.

"I'll get the backside, dwarf!"

Raven will run alongside it, jumping the fountain to get around.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 38 ⇒ (18) + 38 = 56

Then attempt to stab it.

Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26 Flatfooted?

Sneak?: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6, 1) = 18 And Disoriented - -2 on all attack rolls, -4 against myself.

Lightfoot Raven jumps around the beast and hits it from behind hard. It turns to look at him.

I hope they are flat footed without any feat ...
May we heal before? :D

concentration cast DEF / Acrobatics?: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 301d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Hassari casts haste on the party and retreats.

Hassari, you can heal before, and they were flatfooted so not all that was necessary. :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Blue's Turn
Unhappy with the blow delivered by Lightfoot Raven, it turns around to attack him.
Bite Attack (Debilitated): 1d20 + 20 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 20 - 4 = 31
Bite Damage: 4d6 + 22 ⇒ (1, 4, 5, 6) + 22 = 38

Grab (Debilitated): 1d20 + 32 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 32 - 4 = 48
It hits Lightfoot Raven and grabs him!

Seeing Blue holding Raven, Golsan takes a risk:

Move Action: withdraw Potion of Enlarge Person
Standard Action: Drink Potion
Free: 5ft Step (north?)

Over the whisper, you hear a bit of humming...

"One pill makes you bigger, and one pill makes you small..."

Golsan decides to join the giants.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Red's Turn
It looks at the now bigger Golsan and tries to take down its opposition.
Bite Attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24
Bite Damage: 4d6 + 22 ⇒ (6, 4, 2, 5) + 22 = 39
It takes a bite out of Golsan.

Aru, after cursing to herself about the giant dinosaurs before her will quickly pull out her bag and rummage around for her Potion of Invisibility and drink it.

Aru drinks a potion and becomes invisible.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Green's Turn

He moves away, and oddly the Tyrannosaurus does not attack him. He concentrates.
"Obey me! Do not attack these people!"
The Tyrannosauruses don't even flinch at his words.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Kreighton Shaine wait to see if anyone needs some help. "Need a Greater Invisibility or Wall of Stone? I also have Fly and Solid Fog if it would be helpful. I can't cast all of those, but some."

Mechanically, he delays for now until called upon. As a copy of Kreighton, he is not nearly as powerful.

"Garam, can you take one of them out of combat? If not, have the elf wall one off! We can handle them better one at a time! Also, that really hurt!"

Fear not friend Golsan, they cannot resist me a second time!

Garam flies forward to bring blue into range and Slumber Hexes it again using Accursed Hex and spreading it to red with Split Hex.

Garam tries to slumber them a second time.

Will Save (Blue): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
Will Save (Red): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

The dinosaur to the south falls asleep, but the one attacking Lightfoot Raven continues its grapple.

Curses! Best kill that one grappling Raven fast before it eats him!

Hassari casts one spell over the last dinosaur.

- Feel the fear!!

Phantasmal Killer -DC 20-

Hassari tries to kill the Tyrannosaurus outright.

Will Save (Blue): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Fort Save (Blue): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30

A shadowy image of a meteor crashing into the planet appears in front of the Tyrannosaurus. It falls victim to the illusion, but doesn't die outright.

Phantasmal Killer Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 1) = 9

Raven calls on his martial prowess to Flurry the beast in the mouth.

I think I would have missed the haste, I'll put the extra attack in a spoiler in case I got it. Attacks factored without it.

Attack, Flurry, Flank: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 4d6 ⇒ (8) + 1 + (2, 4, 4, 2) = 21

Confirm: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
Crit Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Attack, Flurry, Flank: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 4d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (6, 6, 6, 1) = 24

+1 Round for the -2/-4 to hit for each sneak that hits this round.

Lightfoot Raven flurries on the dinosaur and hits it twice.

Yeah, with all that movement, you would have missed the Haste.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Blue's Turn
The Tyrannosaurus tries to swallow Lightfoot Raven whole.
Grapple (Debilitated): 1d20 + 32 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 32 - 4 = 29
It was too excited and Lightfoot Raven slips out of its mouth.

Healing before this :D

Wand used by Garam: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"Time to die, foul beast!"

FULL ATTACK on BLUE!
.

+1 Kn/Ad GSwd(S) (Primary) - Haste, PA, FF, Flank: 1d20 + 21 + 1 - 3 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 21 + 1 - 3 + 3 + 2 = 44

Damage: 3d6 + 14 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (6, 4, 1) + 14 + 9 + 3 = 37

Raven shouts "FREEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOM!" as he falls back to the ground.

Aru moves 5 feet and lays a few shots into blue. Full round time!

+1 Corrosive Short Bow (1st attack): 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 17 + 1 = 35
regular damage: 1d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 = 13

regular damage: 1d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8
acid damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

"Greater invis please!" She says to Kreighton, knowing that would be a better plan than her potion. She smirks, excited to shoot more than one shot, adrenaline pumping through her veins.

Golsan goes to town on the T-Rex, and Aru strikes from the shadows. Between the two of them, the T-Rex falls to the ground.

The other Dinosaur is easily dispatched.

Out of Initiative!

Lightfoot Raven (-50) - Fly, Hype, Mage Armor
Hassari (-2) - Mage Armor
Golsan (-39) - Freedom of Movement
Aru (-2)

The man looks at the party. "You have proven yourselves worthy of Aroden! Hahahaha! We must worship him now! We must do what we can to further his cause!"

"We shall together restore what has been done here! I will start by dismissing this energy field!" He concentrates for a few seconds, and the green flow around him starts to fade away. When it is gone, he looks around a little confused, less loud than before and speaking in a more hushed tone. "My name is Gad Gemple, and I... I am sorry for what I have done here. Please forgive me." The magic is dismissed, and ever so slightly, the energy supporting this dome is starting to fade.

Let me know if you want to search for more mages or search for the vault.

"It's a start. But look above! The energy field remains! Are there others? Where can we find them?" and in a whisper over the Message spell, "I hope they are easier to convince!"

Golsan votes to find more mages, although he'd be happy to search for the vault if the rest of the party preferred.

Raven nods at Golsan as he walks over to join the party again, his wand hand going at lightning speed.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 5
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 12
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 21

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 39
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 48

7 charges. Yaaaaaaay.

4 Level 1 Cure spells and 1 Infernal Healing: 4d8 + 4 + 10 ⇒ (5, 8, 4, 7) + 4 + 10 = 38

More mages please!

Reapplying heightened awareness and investigative mind

After seeing the other dinosaur fall to the ground after she sunk some arrows into it, she smirks. She watches skeptically as Gad dismisses some of the energy field.

"This may be only ONE of the tethers... I'm sure there's more... Gad, do you know of any others like you who are faithful to Aroden we may be able to call on for aid? After all, we did prove ourselves worthy..."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24

"Oh, and Kreighton, are you coming with us?"

Gad: "There are many in the cult, too many to name really. Sorry I can't be more help. This whole situation is quite frightening."

Kreighton: "Of course, I am here for assistance. I don't have much magic to spare with this iteration of myself, but here's what I got."

• 4th - "Greater Invisibility, Solid Fog, Wall of Stone"
  
• 3rd - "Fly, Haste, Tongues"
  
• 2nd - "Bear’s Endurance, Bull’s Strength, Resist Energy"
  
• 1st - "Enlarge Person, Identify, and Shield"

"Just let me know what you need and I will provide!"

Mechanically, he can cast a total of 10 levels of spells (so 2 wall of stones + bear's endurance, or 1 greater invisibility and 2 fly spells, etc.). It doesn't say when he acts, so I will put him at the end of the first round and have him delay until called upon. He can't provide any support beyond these spells.

Will do a big update later tonight.

Greater invis for the rogues would be epic, though Raven and I can usually cooperate to get flank.

He can EP me if he wants, but by the time he got to it, the fight would be mostly over! (Because there's no sense casting that for me when there are other things to do that are far more valuable, especially when I have a wand for out-of-combat engorgement and a couple more potions if it seems necessary.)

You travel along, again seeing Pathfinders both looking magically and mundane for the vault, again to varying success. You see some fighting smaller dinosaurs, some fighting oozes, and some fighting a few of the Azlanti citizens. You also care a few glimpes of Pathfinders fighting off those with a lime green outline or talking them down.

You travel along and find a woman with a lime green outline. She looks Taldan, but seems to have pretty strong Azlanti features about her. She has a red robe and has gathered a small crowd of Azlanti citizens behind her.

Raising her arms up to the crowd, she proclaims, "Hear me, Lucsuhnollo citizens! Starfall is coming! It's the end times! We must band together and pull together our magic to try to stop this catalysmic event, and part of that is stopping the Pathfinders from their affront on our cause!"

She turns at the party. "Ah, it looks like we have collected some of the Pathfinders! What do you have to say for yourselves? I, Alrule, represent the Azlanti as a true citizen, and you must answer for your assault against us to meet the last Azlanti!" You know that, to be one of the mages who caused this event, there's no way she's actually Azlanti, plus her statement about knowing who the last Azlanti is doesn't make any sense if she's from this time period. She's just Taldan with Azlanti features, so can easily pass off as Azlanti. She is currently fooling the crowd with her heritage, and might snap out of this haze caused by the mana storm if reminded of who she really is.

She seems to have the crowd with her, and one false utterance could cause the situation to go to chaos. Choose your words carefully.

Revelant checks here: Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Knowledge (History). Not all checks here are of equal difficulty.... Anyone who is Taldan in descent or Sovereign Court can go ahead and add +2 to their rolls interacting with her.

Raven whispers to his party.

"I spend a lot of time around Taldan's... she's Taldan."

Raven nods to himself, keeping his mouth shut.

I'll try to assist, but the penalties from drugs take those particular single-digit skills even lower. ;)

I want to aid Garam in his inevitable Diplomacy roll, but I also want to see if Golsan knows of any gods who ascended via the Starstone, since that would have to have happened after Starfall. Cayden Cailean seems most likely, since his story involves drink and is fairly well-known.

Knowledge(Religion): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 <-- Seems legit

Now, to aid:
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13 <-- Just enough!

Golsan steps forward and speaks in a loud voice, "Oy, Mistress Alrule, come and treat with us! Bring forth the wine! Send to the temple of Cayden Cailean, that we might drink as friends and, perhaps, discover a solution! I speak to make introduction. Come, sit. Ponder the situation with your friend Garam the half-orc, for he is strong of both wit and intellect, and perhaps all of us together might find a solution!"

aid diplo: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

K planes or Spellcraft: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

Hassari seems very concentrated.

[/b] How do you know that we are Pathfinders? You came from Taldor! How can a real azlanti know about Pathfinder Society? You came from the same time that us! Travelling planes and time! Don you remember the spells to activate Sky Key? Come on! Think about it! [/b]

How do you know that we are Pathfinders? You came from Taldor! How can a real azlanti know about Pathfinder Society? You came from the same time that us! Travelling planes and time! Don you remember the spells to activate Sky Key? Come on! Think about it!

Stepping forward Garam calls out, Alrule, look about you, this is not your place and not your time. The Harbringers have lost control of the magic they sought, you must regain your senses and reassert control or we will all be lost. I beg you, remember who you truly are and why you are here!

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (17) + 28 = 45

did you include the aid hassari and i provided?

He didn't. I will include them. :)

Alrule is assaulted with verbal onslaught of her true past, and recoils at the attempt, pressing her hand to her forehead trying to shake off the words. It seems to be working, but she has not snapped out of it yet.

The crowd cheers for Alrule. "Don't listen to them. They don't know who you are!"

Alrule gets riled by the backing of the crowd. She fights back with a quick jab. "Pathfinders! You don't know the troubles that these people will face, myself included among them! It is the end times for all of them, and I am the Harbinger who has come to rescue them from their fate!"

Need another Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, or Knowledge (History). Again, with the crowd backing her, it seems to be teetering on a needle's edge.

Changing tack Garam continues, Alrule, this is not your time, you cannot interfere with the past, what has happened will always happen, even if you could change the past consider the ramifications, do you truly think you possess the wisdom to predict all that might come to pass if you change things. Consider the risks, the potential nightmarish horrors you might unleash on our world or the amazing things that might never have happened due to your meddling!

As he pleads with the crazy magician Garam supplements his arguments with the many and varied stories outlined in the Pathfinder Chronicles.

How many of these lives and tales might your tinkering snuff out!

Going for Knowledge History this time in the hopes that it might be an easier DC, using Investigative Mind to roll twice and using the chronicles for their +2 circumstance bonus. Heightened Awareness is also providing +2.

History 1: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31
History 2: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38

Alrune is taken aback by Garam's logic, and looks towards the crowd. Ever so slightly, the lime green aura around her starts to fade.

She turns to the crowd with a sorrowful look, "I am sorry for deceiving you all. I am not who I said I was, and it took these Pathfinders for me to realize that I am not Azlanti at all. Please, leave us be and go home to be safe."

She turns to the party and adds, "I think this foul magic is at play, and it messed with my head. That you for showing me who I really was." With a couple waves of her arm, the lime green aura completely disappears, and again, ever so slightly the magic here seems less powerful.

Where to next? Apparently I am supposed to encourage people to search for the vault at this point, but I'll leave the choice up to you.

Aru looks to the woman and gives her a skeptical look. "This /foul/ magic you speak of... Do you remember some sort of leader? Or someone you talked to that maybe made you think these things? You see, we're trying to help keep this horrible event from happening and we could use some leads. Do you have any idea where the magic is coming from?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18 That is, if that will help us get any information.

Aru watched Garam, seeing as he may have an idea of where to go from here. After all, he /is/ the main magic user.

If she doesn't help, I'm cool with going to find the vault. I just know Aru wouldn't be particularly useful except for a decent perception check when the dice are on my side.

Vault is fine.

Looking at Alrune Garam sighs slightly, do you have anything which might help us find the Vault and put an end to this?

I might be able to so something which can help...

Stepping back Garam sweeps his arms wide and begins a long dolorous chant. The ground trembles, cracks run through the earth all around him and slowly a number of rocky humanoids appear. He swiftly casts a second spell and addresses the creatures in a rumbling language full of deep growls and rumbling grunts.

Hassari, can you Haste my minions please, it may well help

In a moment the creatures vanish into the ground.

Garam will cast Summon Monster 6, summoning 1d4+1 medium earth elementals. He will then cast Message on them and direct them to search the surrounding area as swiftly as they can looking for any disturbances in the earth. With Haste they have a burrow speed of 40', earth glide and tremorsense 60' although they will only last for 1 minute (hence message so they can report back as they search).
