Adventure Path Reign of Winter

Game Master Almonihah

Quasit will move invisibly up to the corpse-golem and stab it! (LMK if you need Reflex or Acrobatics to move along the causeway)

Melee(Sword of Subtlety): 1d20 + 22 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 22 + 2 = 43Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 8d6 ⇒ (3) + 10 + (5, 1, 3, 4, 1, 4, 2, 6) = 39
Melee(offhand)(Shortsword +2): 1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 20 + 2 = 29Damage: 1d6 + 8 + 8d6 ⇒ (1) + 8 + (1, 5, 6, 6, 2, 5, 3, 1) = 38
Melee (CONFIRM?): 1d20 + 22 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 22 + 2 = 37Bonus Crit Damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Kalchine is shocked to watch the pile of bodies demonstrates what a mass of fists can do to a human body.

In only a few seconds Bulvi looks seriously injured and Kalchine moves closer and infuses him with the healing power of nature to keep him in the fight.

Cure Critical Wounds: 4d8 + 14 ⇒ (5, 3, 3, 5) + 14 = 30

Seeing Bulvi get hammered, Fin yells, ”Use blunt weapons!”

He fires a volley of blunt arrows this time at the abomination…

Total Clustered Damage (assuming all hit): 148

Maka was glad the monstrosity was attacking Bulvi instead of the others. Confident in his ability to withstand the onslaught, she continued her own.

Blue Flame Blast vs Touch AC; EO, Defensive: 1d20 + 20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 20 + 4 - 2 = 40
Fire Dmg; EO: 16d6 + 3 + 12 ⇒ (4, 5, 3, 5, 6, 5, 2, 3, 1, 2, 5, 3, 5, 4, 2, 2) + 3 + 12 = 72

Under the relentless barrage of attacks, first individual bodies and then whole clumps of corpses start to fall from the towering mass. Soon enough the corpses are once again inanimate, scattered in broken and burned wrecks across the causeway and floating in the water.

Quasit makes her way over to Bulvi.

"Hey, are you ok? You don't look so good." she says to the big warrior, laying a comforting hand on his arm.

From atop the wall Sakitu looks down at the grotesque monster. She begins forming the thoughts and actions for a spell when the creature collapses. She flies down to the ground and races over to Fin.

"Did that thing hit you? Are you hurt?"

Fin gave Sakitu a reassuring smile. ”No on both counts, Hlao-roo, I’m fine,” he says as he leans down for a light kiss before turning to Quasit. ”What now, Q?”

Kalchine, still a walking whirlwind comes down near Bulvi, frigid water and snow flakes misting into his form and swirling around as he gets near the surface.

"Should I assume you will depend on your own regenerative abilities rather than requiring my healing?" he asks, his voice coming out like winds escaping his aerial body.

he says as he leans down for a light kiss before turning to Quasit.

at first I read that as Findurel leaning down to kiss Quasit, and I was like wuuuuuut? lol

”What now, Q?”

Quasit is still looking over Bulvi with deep concern. "Through the door, dontcha think?" she says, a bit flippantly. "I'll go look it over, but there's probably no traps. It may not even be locked."

"Given all these undead, I'm thinking the Queen Bremagyr is undead too. And I'm also thinking that since no alarm has been sounded by all these minions that she doesn't need an alarm to know we're here. So I think the sooner we get to her the better. And as much as it would be nice to just ask her nicely to give up her crown, I think we're going to have to plan on attacking her on sight and just taking her down. Undead tyrants probably aren't the bargaining types."

Quasit leaves Kalchine to look over Bulvi, and picks her way along the causeway, trying not to step on pieces of the corpse-golem, and then looks over the inner gate.

Perception vs traps: 1d20 + 18 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 18 + 7 = 27

If she sees no traps on the gate, she tries to open it.

The gate opens without issue, revealing a small vestibule area with another set of large doors at the other side. When you open this second set of doors, you see a large entry hall. The doors open under a wide balcony that wraps around much of the hall, supported by ornate pillars. Two other exits, one double doors and one single, lie on the opposite side of the room.

Without entering the room, Quasit peers up at the balcony.

"Oh, I don't like this at all." she murmurs suspiciously. "If I was guarding this place, that's where I'd hide."

"Let's be sneaky-like. Fin, you go left, I'll go right. We'll hug the walls and check out that balcony. Everyone else stay here. If we see something up there, we'll wave to you and point out where they are, then you all can rush in. Sound good?"

Fin nods to Quasit, pulls his hood up and does his stealth thing, moving quietly to the left, blending in, and observing…

Stealth: 1d20 + 30 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 30 + 2 + 4 = 40
Perception: 1d20 + 22 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 22 + 2 = 44

"It'd take a lot more than a pile of bodies to take out my Bull." Maka said before planting a kiss on Bulvi. She kept her golden eyes open as Fin and Quasit scouted ahead.

Perception: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (5) + 32 = 37

Stealth: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (13) + 21 = 34
Perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33

Kalchine also keeps his eyes and ears open, though he doesn't technically have eyes or ears at the moment.

Perception: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (16) + 27 = 43

?: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Very cautiously peeking out from under the balcony near the stairs, both Quasit and Fin can see about a dozen of the flying undead archers holding perfectly still along the balcony.

Quasit makes her way over to Bulvi.

"Hey, are you ok? You don't look so good." she says to the big warrior, laying a comforting hand on his arm.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

Bulvi put his hand against the wall. [b]"I don't feel so hot, maybe that thing had some kind of venom. I can keep going but I wont be at my best til I shake it off.

Quasit looks back toward the others in the doorway, then makes hand signs pointing up above her, and flashing a full five fingers twice at them. She then points to Maka and Air-Kalchine, jerking her thumb up at the enemy, then points to Findurel, indicating that he should open fire at his convenience as well.

She then counts down with one hand and mouthed words.

One
Two
THREE!

Plan is to let Maka and Kalchine draw the arrow fire, then everyone else rushes in to fire off spells and arrows. Probably no sense even going up the steps since they'll immediately take flight.

At Quasit's count, Maka took to the air and blasted the closest archer.

Fire Blast vs Touch AC; EO, Defensive: 1d20 + 20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 20 + 4 - 2 = 37
Fire Dmg; EO: 8d6 + 3 + 12 ⇒ (3, 6, 3, 2, 1, 4, 3, 1) + 3 + 12 = 38

In this form, Kalchine is almost as agile as Maka and he darts in behind her. He isn't nearly as devasting though as he swings one airy pseudopod made of wind at one of the archers.

Fist: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27 Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
