Adventure Path Reign of Winter

Game Master Almonihah

”We heading back tonight, Q?”

Quasit nods. ”Mmhmm”

Are we going to take out the guards in all the towers first? Or do this one tower at a time?”

Quasit starts to answer immediately, but then stops herself and furrows her brow to think a moment. But only a moment.

”One tower at a time. The goal is to hit each tower quick and quiet without raising a general alarm, finish our business with each part of the machine, then move on. We’ll start at the one by the graveyard and move counterclockwise around the camp, dealing with any other threats along the way. I want us to stay together in case there are more surprises.”

”One tower at a time….We’ll start at the one by the graveyard and move counterclockwise around the camp...”

Fin nods. ”Good to start with that one…we can both teleport and plant-travel to be underneath that tower. We might have to deal with any troops in the trenches nearby as they’d be the most likely to hear us scuffle with the guards in the tower. Do any of us know the silence spell or do we have any such scrolls?”

Seems like the discussion is over. I say we jump ahead to nightfall and teleporting back to the camp, in the middle of the ruined church.

Agreed

You time your teleportation and tree-walking to arrive simultaneously, some of you just inside the fence under the tower, some of you just outside the fence through a stunted tree. Almost immediately, soldiers in the north trench start shouting an alarm.

Bulvi Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Maka Init: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Quasit Init: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Sakitu Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Kalchine Init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

??? Init: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
??? Init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

There's a troop of soldiers in the north trench, and of course the troops in the tower. You don't see any other *immediate* threats. Looks like Fin, Quasit, and Sakitu move before the enemies react.

@GM: Sorry, I screwed up, Quasit’s ooc post just above mentioned teleporting to the temple and I overlooked it…those of us traveling by plant (Fin, Kal, CT, & Bull) would still be arriving near the NW tower as that’s where most of the plants are.

it’s ok, let’s just go with it

Quasit begins to move, heading to the stairway up the tower. Not sure how far she can get.

To be clear, Victor is with us and Selena is not?

Fin swears lightly as they are spotted immediately; he quickly sends a barrage of cold iron at the trench troops, hoping to disperse them…

Fin then steps back towards the cover underneath the tower, saying, ”Saki…send an area spell at the tranch troops!”

The ladder up to the platform is 30' long, so however long it takes you to climb that far. Yes, Victor is with you, and Selena is vaguely somewhere she can teleport you back from without participating in combat.

Sakitu follows Quasit as quickly as she can. She glances over her shoulder at the troops and pauses. "Maybe this will slow them down." She taps into her magical nature for a couple seconds then points in the direction of the trench. Almost instantly a roiling mass of black clouds forms above the trench. Bright blue-white bolts of electricity arc down in sizzling strikes to the creatures on the ground.

Using Shadow Evocation to fake an Aggressive Thundercloud, Greater spell. DC 23 Will to disbelieve. Full dmg to anyone who fails the save, 1/5th dmg to anyone who succeeds the save. Everyone does a DC 23 Reflex to negate dmg. The first creature damaged needs a DC 23 Fort save to avoid being stunned.

dmg, electricity: 6d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 2, 3, 3) = 16

The ladder up to the platform is 30' long, so however long it takes you to climb that far.

Climbing is normally quarter speed, so a double move would get halfway up the ladder. If I read the Climb skill right, Quasit can attempt to climb at half speed instead with a sufficient Climb check, which would get her all the way up. Not sure of the DC, so I'll roll and GM can judge...

Climb: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

I'd call a ladder DC 0 to climb, and it's only a -5 to climb quickly, so that's plenty.

Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Fin and Sakitu catch the soldiers as they're just starting to realize they're under attack. Several of them die from Fin's arrows, while comparatively few are harmed by Sakitu's quasi-real lightning.

Quasit races up the ladder, her head just coming up to the level of the guard platform as the soldiers there realize they're under attack. The two with the big machine gun see Chest Thumper and open fire on him.

Maxim of Suppressive Fire (vs. Touch): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30
Damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (4, 5) + 8 = 17
Maxim of Suppressive Fire (vs. Touch): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (2, 4) + 8 = 14

One sees Quasit coming up and shoots at her with his rifle.

Rifle: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Rifle: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

The last one realizes there's enemies below and tosses a grenade down.

Those below the tower take 4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 5, 6) = 19 damage, DC 15 reflex for half.

Bulvi, Maka, and Kalchine are up!

Reflex: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 35

Fin’s quick reflexes allow him to evade all the shrapnel from the grenade. (Evasion)

Kalchine winces as he sees several blossoms of blood appear across Chest Thumper's body.

He grasps his brother's arm for a moment, both to provide him moral support and so that he will literally feel his pain going forward.

Then, he moves closer to the tower, knowing time is of the essence and that he is the slowest member of the team. He's sure they can deal with the people in the tower and he wants to start moving to their next destination immediately.

Casting Shield Companion.

Chest Thumper roars in indignation and pain as the strange boxes and tubes spit hot wasps at him again.

Given his form and abilities, it is little surprise how easily he scales the tower, though when he gets to the top, he hesitates as he scans the threats.

While Bulvi's armour protects him from some of the damage he starts trying to close the gap and scale the tower.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Reflex; Evasion: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (17) + 21 = 38

Maka blasted into the air in the blink of an eye, completely outpacing the explosion from the grenade. Her fiery fist slammed into the chin of the soldier attacking Quasit, carrying enough force to crack steel.

Standard action blue flame blast targeting soldier who is shooting Quasit +2 burn, move action gather power -2 burn, ride the blast.

Blue Flame Blast vs Touch AC; EO, Defensive: 1d20 + 18 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 18 + 3 - 2 = 35

”Ouch! Dammit!” exclaims Quasit as the bullet whizzes along the side of her head, opening a nasty cut. ”Careful with that thing!”

She scrambles up onto the platform and whangs upward with both fists together at the nearest soldier’s rifle, attempting to knock it from his grasp.

Disarm: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Maka kills the soldier that shot Quasit.

The soldiers in the trench fire on everyone they think they can without hitting their compatriots in the tower.

Bulvi, Chest Thumper, Kalchine, and Sakitu, Reflex DC 23 for half of 6d10 + 6 ⇒ (5, 1, 1, 8, 10, 1) + 6 = 32 damage

To the south, you hear a sudden low roar--you recognize the sound as coming from the metal battle-wagons you'd faced before.

Quasit, Fin, and Sakitu are up. Quasit, your target for the action you listed is dead, so you probably want to do something else.

”…at the nearest soldier’s rifle…” was meant to apply to whichever soldier in the tower was closest and still alive when her turn came up.

Fin fires a rain of cold iron at the trench troops…

"I can't believe it. Those stupid soldiers saw through my illusion." Sakitu scoffs and shakes her head. "I bet they won't a second time." She goes through the motions of casting another spell. This time a burning globe of flame appears right on top of the troop.

Shadow Evocation to cast Flaming Sphere, Greater. DC 23 Will to disbelieve. Full dmg to anyone who fails the save, 1/5th dmg to anyone who succeeds the save. Everyone does a DC 23 Reflex to negate dmg. This also ignites flammable surfaces. If it was a real flaming sphere then it might touch off all their ammunition but I'm guessing that since it is fake, the ammunition doesn't care.

dmg: 6d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 6, 2, 6, 1) = 23

Once the spell is cast, Sakitu starts climbing the ladder.

Refl: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Dodging is not exactly Kalchine's forte and he takes a bullet or two.

In retribution, he calls down a column of fire and spiritual energy on the soldiers in the trench.

Flame Strike (DC22 Refl for half): 12d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 3, 2, 5, 1, 1, 5, 3, 5, 5, 6) = 47

Refl: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Chest Thumper also fails to avoid the bullets and Kalchine staggers as part of the Frost Ape's wounds are transferred to him.

But Chest Thumper hardly pays attention, in fact, may not even know that his brother is taking some of his pain for him.

He simply begins ripping and tearing at the soldiers in the tower.

Bite (PA): 1d20 + 20 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 20 - 3 = 36
Physical: 1d6 + 11 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 6 = 19

Claw (PA): 1d20 + 20 - 3 ⇒ (12) + 20 - 3 = 29
Slashing: 1d8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 3 = 11

Rending Claws if both Claws hit: 1d6 ⇒ 5

As gunfire and flames erupt everywhere, Quasit exhales heavily. So much for stealth.

"They were just waiting for us. Not a surprise I guess. Which means they're probably all gonna converge on us now." she mutters to herself as she pulls herself up onto the platform.

Still want to try to disarm any living active targets up here. GM, would you like me to roll that again? Disarm: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

"Maka! I think I hear those battlewagons coming. Off to the south. Can you see 'em?"

"Don't worry Quasit, I'll take care of those stupid wagons! Maka's golden eyes excitedly darted around as she searched the battlefield for her foes.

Perception; LL Vision, Darkvision 60ft: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (17) + 26 = 43

Fina and Sakitu finish off the soldiers in the trench, while Quasit knocks the gun out of the hands of one on the tower. He rushes to the World Anchor machinery in the middle (provoking an AoO from her) and twists a dial. A bolt of violet lightning shoots out at Chest Thumper then branches out towards Quasit, Bulvi, and Maka.

Chain Lightning: 15d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 3, 3, 6, 2, 1, 2, 5, 5, 2, 6, 5, 5, 2) = 55 DC 19 Reflex for half, secondary targets take half damage and DC 17 Reflex for a quarter

The two soldiers on the machine gun fix bayonets and stab ineffectually at Chest Thumper before he grievously wounds one.

Bayonet: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Bayonet: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The soldiers in the tower immediately to the east turn their spotlight on the World Anchor tower. Maka can also see the soldiers in the tower to the south lining up along the railing and aiming at the World Anchor tower she's in. With the light shining in her eyes ruining her night vision it's difficult to tell for sure, but she thinks she sees movement to the south-southeast and to the east-southeast moving between the buildings in the camp.

As the soldier tries to push past her toward the World Anchor terminal, Quasit reaches down and tries to grab a pant-leg.

Trip attempt (AoO): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
Reflex Save: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24 Evasion

Quasit then moves to stand behind the soldier, using Chest Thumper to gain a flank (if possible).

Melee Attack: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 18 + 2 = 23Damage+Sneak: 1d6 + 7 + 7d6 ⇒ (6) + 7 + (2, 5, 3, 3, 1, 3, 3) = 33

Seeing the tower to the east prepping to fire at Quasit’s posoition, Fin steps 5’ north and unleashes a barrage at those soldiers there…

Sorry, meant to mention, Fin’ll target the machine gunners first, assuming he has LOS; if not, then any soldier…that he sees…

Refl: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Chest Thumper is able to dodge away from the bolt of lightning and then avoids the stabs of the bayonets.

As Quasit gets behind the soldier, the frost ape attacks him as well.

Bite (PA) Flanking: 1d20 + 20 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 20 - 3 + 2 = 24

Slashing: 1d8 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 3 = 11

Rending Claws if both Claws hit: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Kalchine double times it to the east, managing to get into the trenches. It may not protect him from the gunners to the east but it should give him cover from the other towers.

Reflex; Evasion: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (10) + 21 = 31

Blue flame blast targeting spotlight in the east tower +2 burn, move action gather power -2 burn, ride the blast.

Maka's maneuverability proved too much even for literal lightning. Dodging with a series of small explosions before taking to the sky again. Not seeing any tanks to target, Maka shot herself towards the spotlight aiming at the tower, hoping to limit the soldier's ability to target her allies.

Blue Flame Blast vs Touch AC; EO, Defensive: 1d20 + 18 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 18 + 3 - 2 = 23

"YOU SHOULD BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT ME!" Maka roared in Russian as she struck the spotlight with explosive force.

"YOU SHOULD BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT ME!" Maka roared in Russian as she struck the spotlight with explosive force.

”…and there she goes.” says Quasit in Common to the guy she’s stabbing. ”You see what I have to work with?”

:D

I should say, right now you're all in the same block of initiative so you're all up for this round.

I think we’re waiting on Bulvi and Sakitu

I poked ‘em both in Discord last night, hopefully they’ll respond soon…

This time her magic is more potent. Sakitu smiles when she sees the soldiers break and scatter under the assault. She tries not to think about the motionless bodies laying on the ground. She grasps next rungs of the ladder and continues to lever herself up the side.

I don't have a climb speed and my climb skill is -1.

climb first move action: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

Selena sits in a hidden corner for a moment as she casts a spell. Dark icy tentacles emerge from ground and start entangling the troops closest to her companions.

Black tentacles, DC 17

Status
HP: 66/66
Spells; -/5/5/5/3/4/2

A Pool; 5 (5/8)

Selena, you have to move to be in range, I'll assume you do so unless you'd rather not. I'll assume you're targeting the tower to the south rather than the one Maka is in the middle of.

You kill the remainder of the soldiers in the World Anchor tower, and Fin kills one in the east tower. Maka continues her spotlight-smashing spree. Selena steps foward and summons some tentacles on the soldiers in the tower to the south.

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Three of the four soldiers are caught by the tentacles.

Soldiers in the trench farther to the south start maneuvering to get a line of fire on you. You also see two of the metal battle wagons pull out from behind a building roughly 500' to the south. Maka sees the ugly-yellow mist below the tower surging upwards, while humanoid figures seem to be climbing over the fence it was 'contained' in.

The one free soldier to the south fires randomly at those of you who have climbed the tower.

Who?: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Touch Attack vs. Quasit: 1d20 + 9 - 6 ⇒ (11) + 9 - 6 = 14

Touch Attack vs. Quasit: 1d20 + 4 - 6 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 6 = 16

The ones in the tower Quasit is attacking curiously ignore her to fire on those in (or climbing into) the World Anchor tower.

Touch Attack vs. Chest Thumper: 1d20 + 9 - 6 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 6 = 22
Touch Attack vs. Chest Thumper: 1d20 + 9 - 6 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 6 = 15

Party's turn.

Yep, I’ll move wherever I need to, presuming I have cover to cast from.

Once her opponent is down, Quasit looks out to survey the situation, looking first to the south for the fearsome battle wagons making all the noise. But she quickly sees that the entire camp seems to be converging on them.

"Oh wow...oh man... no no no no..." she mutters in a doom-laden groan as she scans about.

"MAAKA! YOU'VE GOT COMPANY! SMOKE MONSTER UNDER YOU!"

"EVERYONE ELSE, GET UP HERE INTO THE TOWER! AND GET MIROSLAV UP HERE! WE'RE ABOUT TO GET SWAMPED ON ALL SIDES!"

"This is so bad, we're gonna have to kill them all!" she wails to those around her.

She lays her hands on the now abandoned machine gun and begins to aim at the things climbing the tower to the east inside the evil fog...

GM, can Quasit fire the machine gun in the tower that way? How would I roll for that each round? Does she need a second person to feed the ammo chain?

"MAAKA! YOU'VE GOT COMPANY! SMOKE MONSTER UNDER YOU!"

"GOT IT!" Maka shouted back to Quasit before taking a running leap off the tower. With a blast from her feet she went soaring through the air. Numerous smaller explosions spun her around, turning her into a fiery missile headed straight for the incoming battle wagons.

Several bullets rip through Sakitu's skin and she cries out in pain. Somehow she manages to keep hold of the rungs of the ladder. She continues the climb up. At the top, with her arms and legs trembling, she looks around. Quasit is doing something with the thing they call a machine gun.

Double move to get the next 15 feet on tower A.

climb: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4 I think that the DC is 0 for the ladder but maybe it is 5.
climb: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (12) - 1 = 11

Bulvi climbed upwards trying to regroup with the others.

Fin turns red with anger seeing Saki get hit, so he targets the bastard that shot her in the tower to the east (B)…
