Crypt of the Everflame (Inactive)

Game Master GM Sapphire Fox

Crap, I should have read that closer. Oh well, fire next round.

Fen calls out everything she knows about the construct, and then she pulls out her dagger, and stabs at it. She misses terribly.

Dagger: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

She'll take the AOO for pulling out a weapon right next to the enemy

it will take the AoO

AoO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Fen
Ecthelien

Flaern

Did the creature take any damage from the fire? I missed it.

half damage, then doubled due to weakness, so yes but not a lot, it was surprising agile

Fundir pulls out a wand, and taps himself. The golden glow of healing magic engulfs his wounds and heals them as the magic fades away.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Camred notes the construct's wooden form and adjusts accordingly. A beam of fire leaps from her rod towards the statue.

Energy ray touch attack
Fire Ray: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Burn it! Margat says, as she fires an arrow at it.

Bow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

the creature 5' steps and swings at Margat

Slam 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Slam 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

hitting with one shield doing Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Ecthelien will try another blast of fire, hoping for more significant damage.

Fire arc : 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 D.C. 11 reflex

Arol moves in behind the creature, and slices with his dagger towards the back of its leg.

Actions:

• 5 foot step one square to the right to Flanking position with Fundir (Location on the map updated to reflect this)
  
• Dagger: Slashing: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
  (Add +2 to hit if creature can be flanked. Ignoring the potential Crit as creature is immune)
  
• Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
  I believe creature is immune to sneak attacks/ precision damage as well, but if I'm wrong; Sneak Attack Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Fen takes a step back and casts Cure Light Wounds on herself.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Ref: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15 Success

Flaern tries to adjust slightly to the side, putting his bow away and readying his whip, while he tries to tell who is most desperately hurt.

Margat steps back (5' away from the creature) and fires at it with her bow.

bow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Fundir take another step back from the monstrosity, dropping his mace as he does. Safe enough away from the creature, he claws for his bow and notches an arrow before seeming to deflate and diminish in size and stature. In place of the bulls horns and visage, Striped lines of fur sprout across his body as he draws the bow to his ear and releases the arrow.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 19
Dmg: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

since Camred hasn't posted I'm moving this on a bit

Fundir hits, though it seems that the arrow only took off a piece of a splinter

Margat hits, and does a little more damage then Fundir did, though doesn't mean too much

the creature damaged by margat goes after her

Slam 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Slam 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

both missing

Stepping over if needed, Ecthelien continues blasting with fire.

"Alas, this has to burn something ."

Fire arc : 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 DC11 for half

lol or at least cause a blister .

The young elf shifts further over, and flicks his whip out at the creature, trying to trip it.

Yeah, I'm not liking the odds, but I need to try to do something, and the small guy in front of me reports full HP in his status, so . . ..

CMB Trip: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (13) + 0 = 13

I'm betting 13 ain't enough. if it is, GREAT! If it ain't, and he goes for the counter-trip, I'm dropping the whip with no real thought or hesitation.

Fen pulls an Alchemist Fire out of her bag and tosses it at the creature.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Aimed at one of the top two squares so allies don't get splash damage.

Seeing that the Gnome was surprisingly well aimed with her toss, Arol slips in behind the creature and again slices his dagger at the back of its leg.

This is like whittling away at a tree. I need to buy an axe if these things are going to be common out here. . .

Thinking quickly as he attacks, he speaks out to the others;"There's lamp oil in my bag by the door. We may need to grab it if this thing doesn't start breaking down soon!"

Actions:

• Five foot step one square to the right, updated on map
  
• Dagger Attack (Slashing): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
  
• Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Also GM, did my attack last round have any apparent effect? I could have sworn the "/slashing" in the DR is what bypasses it? I may be misremembering. Either way,going along IC that even if it did, it still wasn't enough to make a real mark on the beast

Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 fail

as everyone seems to have no issue trying to burn this beast of wood, the creature collapses and the shields drop free

~end of Combat~

Fundir lowers his bow as the creature falls under the combined assaults of his team and the newcomers. Wearily, he pulls out a wand and begins tapping himself, while eyeing the new fighters appraisingly. As the golden glow of the healing powers fades away, he takes a deep relieved breath and turns to address them directly. "I have no idea who you are, but thank you for your help. Please, why are you here and what are your goals?" He is open, but cautious in his body language and demeanor. Turning to his companion, he continues "Margat, are you well? Do you need anything?"

CLW: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (4, 5) + 2 = 11

It is fortunate we arrived when we did. That wooden creature was of stout construction and arcane will.

The elf bows to the located Pathfinders.

Ecthelien at your service, specifically sent to aid you. Besides this pile of kindling, what else have you uncovered in this place?

Fundir hesitates a moment while looking to Margat for support. His animal features continue their ever present shifting between aspects, settling on a falcons head as he peers intently at the newcomers again.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Deciding to trust the proclaimed "help", Fundir returns Ecthelien's bow."My name is Fundir, and this is Margat." the nagaji replies. "We have not found much. One survivor that says he was sent as part of a group to prepare this place for our mission.. and some traps that were obviously made so as not to hurt. The survivor spoke of undead rising up and killing the team, as well as taking a prisoner, I believe."

Stepping back from the smouldering remains of the creature, Arol sheathed his dagger, and looks up at the other Pathfinders.

"Well met folks. I'm Arol. Glad we arrived in time to help."

While the others are gathering themselves post combat, he proceeds to casually, but efficiently check out the room, looking for anything odd or of possible value.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 (Add +1 to locate traps)

"We were told you might be in trouble, but nobody seemed to know for sure. I guess we can chalk this up as a successful rescue mission."

"Greetings. Thank you for your aid. It could not have come at a more critical time," she says.

"Fortune has united us. Where have thy visited and what is the plan or direction from here? Are you following a path or tracks or clues to this puzzle? ."

The elf lets his guard down once the threat stopped.

After the introductions are made, Fundir moves towards the two other doors in the room and inspects them. He cocks his falcon shaped head at each door inspecting them visually and audibly.
Perception South: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 4 = 18
Perception North: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 4 = 18

1d2 ⇒ 1

After he examines both doors, he returns to the southern door and suggests "Should we try this one first before moving on to the next?"

I have taken the liberty of marking on the map what I think we have explored with large "X"'s.

"I do need some healing, Fundir. My apologies for not requesting earlier. That wooden creature struck me hard," Margat says.

Margat asks for some healing from Fundir.

"I don't think anyone mentioned that we are also Pathfinders. You have been gone so long we were sent to find out what happened. The name is Fen. Nice to meet you all." Fen smiles and waves at Margat and Fundir.

The elf slaps himself lightly in the face. "Introductions. My apologies, I am Flaern Daeltis, an archaeologist by trade."

both doors are fine, they aren't trapped, the southern door is locked however

Completing his search of the room, Arol retrieves his belongings, and walks over to where the others have gathered.

"When we are ready to move on, I should be able to do something about that locked door. Assuming that's where we need to be going?"

Disable Device: taking 20 if possible for 26.

If not possible:
Disable Device: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Guessing that won't do it.
Disable Device: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
If needed I'll try again.

"To the south then? It makes sense not to double back if we don't need to." Fen points out.

to save you from failing, the other members do have a key that will work in the door

This small chamber has a table on the opposite side of the
room. On top of this table are a number of items, each with a
small note attached note being your name.

Fen - Wand of Cure light wounds (10 charges), and scroll of Lesser Restoration

Arol - Potion of Invisibility, and Potion of Cure light wounds

Flaern - Wand of lesser confusion (10 charges), scroll of cat's grace

Margat - Potion of Cat's grace, and Oil of Magic Weapon

Fundir - Wand of produce flame (10 charges), scroll of barkskin

Ecthelien - Wand of Magic Missile (10 charges), scroll of scorching ray

Camred - Potion of Bear's Endurance, and Oil of magic weapon

"Hmm.. generous, but who left it here?" she wonders. She picks up the two items for her.

"Indeed. And what motivates them to leave such gifts."

He also picks up the items assigned.

"I heard that you should beware strangers bearing gifts. An empty room seems far more ominous." That said, he still picks up his two items.

"They are nice, and may come in useful. Maybe someone was expecting us." She picks up her two items.

FUNDIr strolls oer to the table and examines the items tagged with his name. "Well, this does fit in with the story that guy we found told us about "setting the place up for us".. but I don't think they get too much farther in their preparations considering where we found him." Fundir takes the scroll and wand and places the wand crosswise in his belt and the scroll in a pouch.

Arol picks up the potions next to his name and stows them away in a belt pouch.

"Not that I don't appreciate the gift, but are we sure we can trust these things? I'd hate to drink a vial of gut dissolving poison thinking it's going to be something more helpful."
He pauses for a moment then sighs softly
"Hmmph. And, how did they know we'd be coming to help you folks? This gets curiouser and curiouser.
He shakes his head
"If I spend too much time thinking this over, I'm sure I'll end up with a headache."

Agreed. Let us keep moving and ponder the metaphysical dichotomies later.

Ecthelien looks for the party direction and follows.

north of the room of the Golem This long corridor is flanked by a row of human statues, set into alcoves on each side. The statues look like Kassen, and each one holds a longsword out in front of it. The blades of
roughly half the statues are wrapped in leather padding.

Margat examines the statues, but from a distance.
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Ecthelien moves so as to be able to see into the corridor.

Strange their blades are covered. I wonder the purpose. The faces of the statues seem familiar. Do they resemble some we saw in town on the way here? Anyone know the significance? We were a bit rushed and did not have time to research in town.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Fen takes a look. "Leather wrapped swords don't hurt. Maybe this is part of the preparations. I bet the non-wrapped swords hurt, and this looks like a trap to me, but what do I know? Who wants to go first?" Fen gives a bright smile at the Rouge.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Ah I have not played before and have no clue if i have XP I played one session so I probably do.

Glad to join!
I have a Paladin and a Feral Hunter, both Lvl 2 and I also have a GM baby Monk that is free. Looking at the composition here, it seems we may need some healing help from the hunter?

Play what you want, it makes things more fun honestly

I believe that I owe all of you an apology for my erratic posting this week. It has been a rough couple of weeks on the homefront, and this week has seen a number of upsets to my normal schedule. Hopefully, things will have settled out and I can return to a more normal pace, both in life and in my gaming.

A note that I modified my post, since the night is not over and still full of terrors...

Hi,

I'm posting this on all my PbPs, as player or GM - I had a family emergency last Monday, due to an accident, and had not been able to post or even communicate of my absence. In parallel, as a consequence of the situation not improving, my undivided attention on such matter will be required on the months to follow and, therefore, I'm stepping out of most of my activity online. I apologize for the inconveniences it might cause and I wish you all the best, and fun on your games. Thanks all for the understanding and for the opportunity to play with you.

The Chess / adsapiens

Sorry to hear that Chess. Hope things will get resolved favourably.

Considering the outages that have been happening lately, I am passing out my Google ID in case anyone has Google Hangouts and wishes to add me for communication that doesn't involve Paizo trickeries :-) No offense meant to any lurkers!! I promise!!!

Anyways, if you wish to check up on the game or to contact me for any reason, I am on Google Hangouts, and my address is dragonthoughts83@gmail.com

I will be gone for a week or so, will try to post but am on a vacation with friends and family.

My wife had to have major surgery today. I will post again ASAP, hopefully tomorrows mayhem shall allow for a few moments to get on here.

Hey, Cari! Good to see you at another table!
Hopefully we can get the post rate back up and get this thing moving again!

Good to see you too. You'll probably get sick of seeing me around the boards. :)
I'll do my part to keep this going.

Lol.. Nah!

just FYI I'm delaying the combat for the moment till we get the new people in

After the lack of expressed desires, I've decided to go with the character that's less duplicative, but not working to fill a perceived hole.

truthfully, play what you want to have fun with, I have yet to run a group through here that didn't manage to pull away a win

I've spent years helping to make game days and conventions happen. I'm used to bringing the character a table needs instead of the one I want to play.

As a result, I've learned to build nearly anything (more-or-less core) in a way that I can have fun playing the character.

Sorry, was completely unplugged as I moved apartments. I am reconnected, now.

Sorry, everyone. I was in a car accident earlier this week and had to deal with that.

Flaern, hope the new move suits you and all is put right soon.

Comred: I am sorry to hear of this!! I hope that you heal up quickly and that all is well!! Positive vibes!

Oh no, luckily there were no injuries. Just wasting time on statements and paperwork.

That's great news!! Glad to hear it!

Heh.

The longer version of the story is that my 26 year-old son is moving back in with his wife and infant. State law requires 3 bedrooms for 4 adults and the baby, so we had to move across the street in the same apartment complex . . ..

The really sad part is that we thought things were going bad enough for him that we've been ASKING him to move back in for the past 8 years or so. Now that he's a parent, he understands our concern more, I think.

I am about to leave for a Boy Scout Camp, where I will stay until late on Sunday (1 Oct). The area is notoriously bad for cell signals. I will be helping run a training event for other adults. Between the two, I will be surprised if I can update anything before then.

Then I go back to the same camp in the evening of Friday (6 Oct) for my troop's monthly campout, and will return earlier on 8 Oct.

Then I go back for the second half of the training program on the evening of 12 Oct and will stay until late on 15 Oct.

Then my wife and I will return to the same campground late on 20 Oct and stay until sometime on 22 Oct for an Order of the Arrow event.

Yeah. I do a lot with the Boy Scouts. I really wish even one of those weekends was at a different campground.

have fun, i was with the scouts myself when i was younger

BTW - I will be on business travel 10/1-10/6 and 10/9-10/12. I should have wifi at night at the hotel. It will be the opposite of the Boy Scout camping I have experienced...just not as fun. :-)

I loved boyscouts and OA.. I wish I had enough time to devote to my sons troupe to participate in all that!!!

Good luck to both of you and be safe!

I'll be on vacation in the middle of the month for two weeks, but should still be able to read and post at least in the evening.
Basically, the same as normal unless the resort internet explodes.
:)

Flying today for business conf this week. Should be able to post in evenings from phone but short and maybe not able to update map. Back on Friday.

On my way out the door for the 3rd Scouting weekend in a row, as previously advertised. I'll be back on Sunday.

I haven't heard from Camred in a while, I sent her a message earlier this week, if I don't hear from her by tuesday I'll consider her dropped

My 4th weekend of BSA camping starts tomorrow night. This time my wife is going, and she asked me to post my reminder messages tonight so she can push me out the door that much faster if I get out of work late.

Have fun. Hope you have good weather.

Sorry to hold things up. I was robbed Monday night at work and have been dealing with everything. I am fine and whole.. just a tad bit messed up.

Sorry to hear that, and glad you're okay.

Sorry to hold things up. I was robbed Monday night at work and have been dealing with everything. I am fine and whole.. just a tad bit messed up.

Ugh that sucks.. and at work too. Hope you're all right.

wow, hope everything goes smoothly for ya, thats not something you hear a lot of

Thanks for your concerns!
