Game Master Helikon

The rogue jumps quickly back.

Well, what did you see? she asks

She fills them in on everything, omitting nothing and adds "...it was hard to tell if they were hostile or not. They seemed to have no reaction at all when I spoke."

"We all need to enter and face them!"

I wonder if you went to another plane and what plane that was. she ask fascinated.

Wish I could tell you, but there seems to a small room near the portal exit we could use for cover if those things prove hostile. There's no way I could've taken them on myself, not sure how they saw me even..." she smirks. "Anyways, ready when you are..."

Waiting for one or two more who want to jump.

"Sounds like they'll be hostile, no matter what.
These probably aren't the tomb guardians, if the golems have already smashed some of them to bits."

"We need to get in there buffed up, two bruisers enlarged (if they'll fit through the gate), ready hasted, and keep them off me while I decipher that machine."

Barm will enter with all others.

She will use 2 of her 1st level spells to enlarge the rogue and the fighter

Cast haste, initiate inspire courage, and step into the gate.

(+1 AC, +3 to hit, +2 damage, +1 Reflex, +20/30' move, and bonus attack on full attack)

Erwin nodded. "Fine, let's finish this.

Sarenrae, grant me the strength to combat those who cannot be swayed."

Bull's Strength. 4 minutes.

I have a scroll of fireball that I have been DYING to use she says

Mega-Meri grasps her huge sabre, her heartbeat highly accelerated echoes throughout the halls...she is ready to slay.

Then please roll iniative once you move in!

Meri Initiative: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

"Perhaps we'll get to see it in use then." Erwin says to Seoni.

Initiative: 1d20 ⇒ 9

initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

in, 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

iNi: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
They quickly use an ability.
Lem and Merisiel, please make a Will save (DC 18)
Pathfinders are up

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Sorry, will be a few hours before I can post attacks

Know planes 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 to figure out what they are.

Well that was helpful :)

She is going to cast an extended shield spell on herself, using her Arcane bloodline ability to decrease the caster level :)

Meri tumbles into flank...With the other enlarged fighter I think that works for sneak

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 = 32

...and stabs forth precisely...

Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 3 - 2 = 19 +haste/inspire -enlarge
Dmg: 1d8 + 3 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 3 + 1 = 12

Barm strikes with two swords the enemy on the right. flank

damage: 2d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (1, 5) + 9 + 2 = 17

I forgot to include flank bonus, so my attack was 21 not 19

I also didn't add flank bonus

I thought I had enlarged the pally and the rogue.

She will use 2 of her 1st level spells to enlarge the rogue and the fighter

My bad, you said "fighter" so I thought you literally meant fighter.

I am the "fighter".

Erwin moved forward to engage.

Well, that was a bad string of Attacks.

Sorry, been offline due to bank holiday family duties.

Will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
+4 vs. bardic performance, language dependent, and sonic; +2 vs. fear

"I think we'd benefit from all meleers being enlarged.
Increase their damage, and remove the reach advantage."

Maintain the inspiration, try to recall what I can about the zelekuts(?), and make a double move around the edge of the battle, to get to the crystal machine.

Potentially stopping, if any traps or hazards go off.
And quickly checking out the statues on the way.

Knowledge, Planes: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Did we win?

Good joke! LOL

She tries

I see that Helikon is active in other games! I'm not clear why not finish this

As someone who has been a GM for several play-by-post games, I can say with confidence that it's a great deal more demanding for time than I thought it was going to be, and I was just running 1 game with only 5 players. This was also during a time when I was on summer break and didn't have a job to worry about at the time either. Not to mention any social or family activities I had going on as well. Helikon will get to it when he has time.

He is pretty good at finishing things up

So now I will die because of my statement. :)

:)

Still checking in here

Sorry some major things going in my life and still working how to finish this.

Under the combined attacks the Zelekhut is damaged, but not yet destroyed.
They booth repeat their spells, once on Barm, once on Merisiel.
