Amazing Red's Secret Stones Keep (Inactive)

Game Master Daxter

All but one of Erin's strikes find their mark and one strikes a devastating blow.

Oh and BTW, for those unable to find something useful to do, there is a stele you could play with at the other end of the map. It might even help with this encounter.

Ares' horns are able to penetrate the thick armor-like hide once while Tanrov hammers his target twice.

Ezrek and Tsusoku up.

Doh! Ezrek has the Precise Bombs discovery, so Ares won't take splash.

Ezrek unloads three bombs in quick succession at the north golem.

RTA, PBS, Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 1 - 2 = 11
Damage: 5d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 5, 6) + 4 + 1 = 24

RTA, PBS, Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 1 - 2 = 23
Damage: 5d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2, 5, 4, 5) + 4 + 1 = 25

Iterative RTA, PBS, Rapid Shot: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 - 2 = 6
Damage: 5d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2, 2, 5, 3) + 4 + 1 = 20

Though Precise doesn't affect misses...
Splash is 9 pts

We'll just assume that reflex save was for the miss damage then.

The first two of Ezrek's bombs hit, and the third barely misses.

Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

Tsusoku up! Remember to take your 32.

I didn't get a full attack? I couldn't see the map at the time, how far away was I?

Not for the first round, no. You were 15 feet away. Did you want to start within it's full attack range? I could arrange that next time. :)

Keep my full attack damage please. I have jaunt boots . I would have activated them for moving 15 feet as a 5 foot action. I just couldn't see the map at the time and someone said I was in flank.

Oh well in that case, Tanrov drops the one you were fighting.

The southern golem goes inert.

Thanks! Sorry for the confusion.

46 - 32 = 14 Going to sleep at a decent time grinds all Red games to a halt, do ho ho.

Tsusuko will use hair touching powers to heal Taurus (from 10 feet away)!

Cure Mod, fluff insanity percentile 10%: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 6 = 131d100 ⇒ 18

Taurus is my brother!

Ares lows in gratitude for the healing magics.

Old Tien Man: "You're brother is a cow?"

Yeah, my bad. I didn't see a HP tracker for Ares, so whoever is hurt more is who I'd heal.

The golem steps forward and attacks Ares again.

Slam: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24

2d10 + 5 ⇒ (3, 7) + 5 = 15

Slam: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26

2d10 + 5 ⇒ (5, 2) + 5 = 12

A pair of hard hitting fists slam into the bovine hero.

Party up!

Ares bellows in pain but stands his ground. The hero-bull viciously gores his opponent twice more. 29/68 prerage HP

Gore: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29
Damage: 2d6 + 22 ⇒ (4, 6) + 22 = 32

Iterative Gore: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Damage: 2d6 + 22 ⇒ (2, 1) + 22 = 25

Tanrov rushes to his companion's side and brings his hammer to bear.

Provoking

Raging: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20
Damage: 2d6 + 16 + 9 ⇒ (4, 3) + 16 + 9 = 32

Rage 7/24

Last Cure Mod, to Tanrov's Brother. 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 6 = 10

AOO: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

Confirming: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27

Crit damage: 4d10 + 10 ⇒ (10, 4, 5, 1) + 10 = 30

The construct reaches out and slams Tanrov right on the shoulder while Ares' horns finds purchase once.
And I forgot to remind you. Due to the cursed wounds, you need to make caster level checks to heal the damage from these golems. You can forgo the second heal if you wish.

First Heal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 First one fails

CL check, insanity 15%: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 221d100 ⇒ 77

The DC is 26 so you're looking to roll 20s here.

Ezrek tosses another two bombs at the remaining golem.

RTA, PBS: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 1 = 14
Damage: 5d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1, 4, 4, 1) + 4 + 1 = 19

RTA, PBS: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 = 18
Damage: 5d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5, 1, 2, 3, 5) + 4 + 1 = 21

Erin moves to flank with Tanrov and attacks the golem.
Attack 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27 (Flank, One Attack)
Damage 1d6 + 5 + 4d6 ⇒ (2) + 5 + (1, 3, 1, 3) = 15 (Flank)

And both of Ezrek's bombs hit the golem and it goes inert. Erin moves in and finds her target isn't moving anymore. Combat over!

Tanrov lowers his hammer and moves over to comfort his battered and mooing companion. "Can you help him?" he asks with a glance at Ezrek and Tsusoku.

Ezrek takes about two minutes and mixes up a couple healing extracts. Pouring them down Ares' throat, he hopes for the best.

CLC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
CLC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

He frowns as the extracts seem to not take effect.

Tsusuko takes off his amulet and holds it out to the Shoanti. "If he... hits some... with his... horns... it will... help..."

Spell-storing amulet with Vamp Touch in it. Gives temp health, though I can't remember if Amulets are simple enough for an AC to use if it is part of an action it knows how to do...

I think it’s best if Ares just retire for the rest of the mod. There’s no practical way for us to get him into fighting shape.

Tanrov frowns as the healing potions do nothing to help his friend. The young shoanti taps his armor again, storing his friend safely away for now.

"Let's figure out this stele-thing so we can go home."

Does anyone have a jade wayfinder or another way to cast guidance? I'd allow it for the purpose of this.

Tanrov is going to burn Kassan's Blessing from *Redacted* so Ezrek's first heal will go off. I'd rather have it on Tanrov himself. 1d8+5 isn't going to get poor Ares into fighting shape.

CLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

A kingly statue overlooks this chamber from atop a balcony and extends a mighty arm that terminates in a clenched fist. Eight metallic columns, each magnificently carved with dwarven figures, support the forty-foot vaulted ceiling. Gold-plated bannisters run along either side of the stairs, and etched bronze and brass wall tiles depict the tale of Koldukar’s founding. Alongthe upper level sit sixteen ornate thrones, one of which bears the withered remains of a stately male dwarf. His ornate belt however doesn't seem withered or even dusty.
The map will stay the same for the rest of the mod.

Ezrek rummages through his extracts and hands another one to Tanrov. (Flase Life) He then produces a bead and recharges another vial with the same extract and drinks it himself.

False Life: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

He then removes a rod and taps it on another flask before drinking it.

Lesser Extend Rod, Barkskin

Um, You can't metamagic extracts since they aren't spells. With that said, don't worry about spell durations past rounds/level. They'll last the rest of the mod.

Hmm, really? Well that was wasted purchase.

Well you could in theory give it to a friendly caster to cast an extended spell on your behalf, but worst case you lose 1500 if you sell it back.

Tanrov eyes the elixir warily before tipping the contents into his mouth.

"Thanks!"

False Life: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Feeling better, Tanrov picks up the fancy belt.

"Anyone know how to turn the stele on?"

Alternatively, it counts as a club for purposes of being a weapon! But, yeah, the handing it off for long-duration buffs is really what it'll be useable for. I'm honestly surprised they haven't come out with something to use metamagic on extracts, given how blurry that line is already.

Tsusuko fearfully points the butt-end of a wand at Ezrek; "Can you... use this... on... me? When I do... the voices... they come back..."

CLW wand, barring refusal: 6d8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 3, 2, 5, 2, 2) + 6 = 2814 + 28 = 42

Psst, Tsusoku has the cursed wounds as well. So the wand will not be able to heal you. You will need some healing from Ezrek to have a chance.

An ancient stele stands at the rear of this circular antechamber. The stone monument depicts a heavily stylized map of the Inner Sea Region. The map bears no visible scale, and many of its details have eroded with the passage of time. Seven distinct runes are discernible on the stele’s pockmarked surface.

Only Ezrek can decipher the runes: Dongun Hold, Highhelm, Janderhoff, Koldukar, Kraggodan, and Kravenkus—known locations of both active and ruined Sky Citadels. However, the seventh rune, “Jormurdun,” is the name of a Sky Citadel that has faded from memory over the past several millennia.

Tsusoku can take that extract of false life for 17 temps. He needs it more than Tanrov does.

Eh, barring fighting another golem or getting Fireball'd by a stele, I'll get get some Temp Health from my 2 Vampiric Touches.

Manwitch has no fear.

Tanrov ponders the interface. "Does anyone remember how this works?"

Fearless Manwitch ponders the depths of his knowledge of the Arcane that the voices told him before the loud time.

Kn (A)?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16 If it's Spellcraft, it'd be the same bonus.

"You need... to fool... the rock... make... it think... you're... a dwarf..." See the Skill Description section of Use Magic Device to learn more about emulating a race!

Tanrov ponders the thick belt he just picked up. "What's this do?"

Tsusuko will maybe go insane for the betterment of the group. 20%: 1d100 ⇒ 9 Welcome back to the void, Tsusuko.

Tsusuko casts Detect Magic and Spellcraft's at the belt.

Scraft: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

If it's the dwarvenkind of belt I think it is, Tsusuko simply put it on and negotiate with the stele, after casting Tongues and announcing himself as Jander, Cleric of Sarenrae, greatest negotiator in the Inner Sea. If it isn't what I think it is, Tsusuko panics a little, looking around and claiming he doesn't know anything about it or what is quite going on.

It is what you think it is.

Tsusoku gets into the mindset of a dwarf and touches the console. He knows that just by saying the name of the stele you wish to communicate to will let one 'speak' to that stele. In this case you would say Jormurdun

Assuming he does so, the stele activates and you hear a deep gravelly voice.

Erin watches the old man begin speaking to the statue. "I think he has lost his marbles again." She confides to the rest of the group.

Ezrek translates for the party. "I am the stele at Jormurdun. I have endured the passage of time, counting the reign of King Taargick 66 times since I was last moved. I have felt quakes and heard screams of pain. I have seen strange beasts walk within my chamber’s wall. My home is no longer a safe haven." Noticing for the first time that Tsusoku is wearing the belt, Ezrek frowns. "Er..I guess you already knew that."

Ezrek speaks hesitantly. "Er..Tsus...Jander, I think we are supposed to see if we can learn any dwarven history and signal Janderhoff."

" Sir Stele, can you describe your location? Can you see anything? We wish to make you safe."

"Do not fear, Stele of Jormudun. Sarenrae is both a master the art of stonecraft and slaying any foes. He will bring his mighty fist down upon those who wish to damage your adamant perfection and use their bones to repair your lost bits. How can we find you? Can we re-attune you to the other remaining cities' steles or somehow? I am a powerful conduit of the magics and wish to chorincle the history of you and your people's past, bless Her name."
