Who knows for sure, but I thought there was a good chance you could of ended it that round
You aren't dead yet, Simon. You have four rounds if you stabilize. 2 of you don't. I specifically did this to put the party on a nice dramatic clock. My original draft of the post had you dying outright. :)
Now, party, go save your kitty!
Step 1) Simon makes Stabalize Check, DC10. Roll is +CON -Current Dmg, so I believe a net -8.
Step 2) See if Boar can reposition Simon, or at least pick him up. If so skip to 4
Step 3) Dalkk move - Run in, Dalkk Standard - Pick up Simon. Obstacle - AoO.
Step 4) Once Dalkk has him out of threat range, heal checks to stabalize.
Step 5) Maglin if you can use a wand of CLW, you'll take it off him and use it. If not, aid another on said heal check to guarantee success.
I believe this can be done in 1 to 2 rounds.
Clw wand lies around in the mid if the forechamber with the rest if my stuff as posted before.
So easy pick up for maglin/dalkk.
Will look into as far as I find some.time.
Stop making me hope damn you all ;-))
I believe this can be done in 1 to 2 rounds.
Which may be all you have if he rolls poorly.

Is Cain really that close to the door? I thought he stepped away? That room as established is 10ft wide. If Cain were ao inclined, move action to drink Long Arm extract from Maglin that he never used, 5ft step back to where he was, with new reach grab Simon as a standard.
Then with Heavy Scrutiny from the GM use Quick Runners shirt to boost it out of there this round.
Because Quick Runners shirt is a swift action, that gives you move action? And not technically movement itself? Which would allow Cain to make that 5ft step? Anyone else ever just notice how handsome Choon is?

Certainly. But I am freshly and happily married plus I am not much into men, so ... I never said so out loud

Point of order for future castings of summons: summon spells require a clear line of effect to operate. Therefore casting on the other side of walls is technically not allowed. I just looked this up because the boar summon was bugging me, but I didn't know why. I'm bot going to retcon anything, just noting it for the future.
Hmm, I was wondering about that before I posted the action, so I checked. [ulr=http://www.d20pfsrd.com/Magic/#TOC-Aiming-a-Spell]I found this,[/url] notably:
Some spells create or summon things rather than affecting things that are already present.
You must designate the location where these things are to appear, either by seeing it or defining it. Range determines how far away an effect can appear, but if the effect is mobile, after it appears it can move regardless of the spell’s range
And then I stopped reading, because "either by seeing it or defining it" was enough for me. But I guess
You must have a clear line of effect to any target that you cast a spell on or to any space in which you wish to create an effect. You must have a clear line of effect to the point of origin of any spell you cast.
Is where I should've stopped reading.
Also, after having just repeatedly read Tolkien describe big cats tossing people on their backs and jumping up ledges, I'm going to assume the boar can drag Simon backwards. I don't think it can fit through the door easily, but it can probably toss Simon through the door, right?
Also, not 100% on what to do with Maglin. Will post again in an hour with actions.
Loot my backpack, get the wand ready to slap me next round-meowii? xD
Like the world's most pleasant cattle prodder.
Is the wand on your person or backpack? Magpin could secure the bag, could grab the healers kit out of there. A grease spell on the way out wouldn't suck. Dalkk has holy water on him Maglin could grab, or a previously identified light crossbow on his right side that contains a smoke bolt, fired at the skelly floor or wall vs ac 5.
I specified that I leave behind anything but my two weapons.
So yes it is just in my backpack somewhere in the preparation room, just somewhere between you two.
Okay, so the boar can relocate Simon, which I'm assuming is going to use the reposition maneuver.
I can then pick up the heal kit with a move action and use it as a standard action with a +5 modifier.
If its all the same, I'd like to do the heal. I can shake off Mutagen to return my wisdom score to normal, which is +8 Heal, Heroism for +2, Healers kit for +2. This puts my at +12. If you pass Aid Another, that gets me to +14, which will succeed the DC15 check even on a 1. If you fail Aid Another DC10, then you would of failed the DC15 Heal anyway.
He'll still be unconscious though. A readied action to put his body on my shoulders leaves both you and I with move actions to get out the room this round, and Cain can take full withdrawal
HP from level, ac from shaking Mutagen, and Simon's pulse rate have been updated.
Edit - Paizo ate my edit... GM Choon I need a ruling before picking the new extract I learned.
Do my extracts confer magical Enhancement or Alchemical bonuses?
If Enhancement, then I could stack Cats Grace with my Mutagen. If Alchemical, then I could stack Owls Wisdom on Cain's Headband of Wisdom. Or my Cats Grace (Alchemical) with Maglins Cats Grace (Enhancement) to give Simon +8.
My apologies, for so many reasons, but I didn't want to try and spring it on you or sneak it by one way or the other.
Merry Christmas everyone! I wish you a couple of nice and calm days off with lots of good foot some nice presents and fun parties (or calm and quiet evenings with your loved ones).
I am rather busy for the days to come (you probably too I guess), so probably no lengthy post before the 27.
Also thanks for saving my fur-purrurr.
Now get the f#@* out of there if I may say so^^
Oh man, I thought we were doing fairly well. I'm assuming his gear is very shiny, which makes it very attractive.
It's okay, we can come back later after more preparation. The boar can bar the door and probably win strength checks, which gives us time to run away. Then uh...
...oh. Where are we running to?
If you ask me ...
It's time to surface. I need to find a cleric who can un-curse me.
50% chance to loose a full round while in combat is really devastating and potentially fatal.
Also I guess he's at least lvl10 looking at his lay on hands roll. We were lucky to last that long against him, Cain was quite lucky with his rolls, so it was rather close, but missing two part members proved too much in the end.
Cursing is probably some ingoing touch attack option if him he can substitute for an iterative attack.
Or something if his weapon.
Heal is palas lay in hands which us swift action on yourself...
Yup. Full attack. Sub second iterative for touch attack with curse rider on hit, swift action lay on hands. It's a nasty beastie. I've actually been playing him pretty nice as he's five levels above you. :)
Confession time:
I have re-read the Touch of Corruption entry after Cain's question and noticed that it requires a full standard action, not just a touch attack. As retconing Simon's results would result in his immediate death (because Sarasek would have full attacked), I'm not going to take all those actions back. Plus, it's good drama. Cain, however, may take back the lost HP from the sword stroke as Sarasek can't make a full attack.
yes!
ok I'm still at decent HP and power points then, and we would have already won if we had the full party..... but we don't so running is still probably a good idea, at least for a miniute or two.
Note: You do still suffer the negative energy damage unless you soak it with PP
I feel like a gambler at a card table... One more round and I'll be back on top... Just one more round...
Still looking into the Alchemical vs Magical question Choon?
I agree that the drama has been amazing. Been refreshing the page as often as I can.
Yeah gm retconned away the sword attack to use the full-round curse-negative-energy-touch thingy on you.
The damage comes from the touch hit, the will saved you from the secondary curse effect of the touch.
@Dalkk: Can't imagine that your extracts count as anything but enhancement bonus, otherwise you could stack alchemist extracts (for stats) with the respective items. Which would be cheese and exactly what bonus stacking is meant to prevent. Bur stacking your mutagen with usual enhancement boni seems highly legit and intended.
Not sure though, just RAI thoughts and arguments.
Simon's right about the retcon. I didn't want to waste your will save. And him flinging a few curses about is so much more exciting than just hitting you with his pain stick.
As for the bonuses, I think they generally count as enhancement unless stated otherwise, like in the mutagen description.
That's where I'm stuck, because both seem cheesy.
Let's say I were str based. I'm not really supposed to be able to manufacture a +8 str bonus using nothing but class features at Lvl 3 am I? That seems insane.
If I were a direct INT bomber then by Lvl 5, I could easily attain bombs that are crazy strong as the bonus damage is INT based. I don't know if it feels dirty because it is dirty or because I've overlooked some way more powerful options and (fun aside) I'm not playing into the real power of an Alchemist
Oh.
Note, technically for an antipaladin It's a standard action to attack and to heal
But given that you're not smiting us, I think I'm not going to push for that retcon either.
Ok I'm at 31 HP 10 PP then
If we survive this dude we better get XP for surviving him
Don't worry. The Cosmic Tally-Man sees all and rewards all justly. Kinda like Santa, but with more skulls.
Whadya know! So it is! I've never noticed that it lacks the swift action heal wording of actual lay on hands, and I've played an Anti-pally before! I wonder how many other people miss that?
Anyway, you can rest assured that the next fight will go much differently. Or not rest, because I also just realized that he's not using his fiendish boon either...
Are we within range that a reduction in healing would of made much of a difference? Not fighting for a retcon or anything, just looking for satisfaction. I am really loving this death at every corner play style
5d6/round is going to make a difference no matter how you slice it. ;)
Unless he has an absolutely unreasonable amount of health he would be dead already, but if he was using fiendish boon and smite, one or more of us would also be dead
Heh, lol, complicated things are complicated.
Also, uh...trying to figure out how much hp it can have. Probably under 150, I'd guess like 120-130.
Unbuffed, yes, 120-130 range.
And Cain is also right.
I'm slammed at work at the moment, but maglin can you grab the still small Simon and then carry him out?
If yes, please bot that Dalkk rubs to the door while drawing his light crossbow on his right side with the smoke bolt loaded. Once at the door he'll fire it at the AC 5 ground below Cain. Barring Crit Fail it will hit.
If unable to grab Simon, Dalkk will pick up Simon himself and run for it.
Go gents go. Vuzi is waiting for you just out of sight of that horrible creature. She'll do her best to heal you up.
Can someone take my backpack as well please? :-)
Not highest prio of course (its just equip after all), but it would rather suck to loose it all ^^
The dire boar can squeeze through the door and then drag you backwards.
GM Choon, what's the ruling on the boar squeezing while dragging on the second doorway?
There are penalties associated with squeezing, but as long as he survives the AoO for leaving it should be fine.
Thanks for taking that AOO for me.
Question: how much does Simon and his gear weigh
Currently Simon should weight way less than his backpack, due to small size.
I never computed the full weight of my stuff though, but nothing too heavy in there...
Yup, boar had 42 hp and DR 5/evil, so it's quite impressive that it just flat out died. 53 damage on a crit is nothing to scoff at.
Okay, so we've got not quite 350' to the tunnel which goes up, presumably to the surface. We're way faster than it thanks to haste (emily isn't, but she has 4 legs), so we can get ourselves a head start. How fast can we actually climb up the tunnel? Should we instead try to lock it behind the outer door and then climb at a normal speed?
Basically, how are we going to actually escape?
Someone nay check if he is actually following.
Maybe he is bound to that room after all.
If he does ...
Someone lock the second door.
And every other we pass.
Problem with the tunnels... How do we get Dalkks little giant gecko out? We already figured out that hr will be quite too heavy to climb those tunnels without collapsing.
