Curse of the Crimson Throne

Game Master Euan

Round 1, Init 12

FORT save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Nikolay almost vomits right there as the empowered version of the blood veil races through him. As a free action, he taps the arcane pool of his sword (+2). He steps up to J25 and carefully, too carefully, casts an empowered frigid touch. He then makes a wild swing at the demon. He wants to vomit again as the unused spell throbs in his hand.

Cast defensively: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21 - DC 19 for level 2 spell
(Level 7, INT bonus 3, Combat Casting +4)

Round 2, Init 17

Briar moves to G21 and fires once.

1d8 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 8 magic damage; (PBS, Prayer, magic, DF, Bard)

Oh good. Stand there an make a good target, you pointy plague balloon.

Round 2, Init 22

Barael watches Andaisin just Andaisin, there is only one lady in this room, and her name is Dandi clean her scythe, and is dismayed that he will no longer enjoy dreams of large women, only nightmares.

Barael eyes the scythe. Staying out its path, Barael tries to make his attack from the Vanish count. Move to I-28
Black Tooth: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 20 for 1d6 + 3 + 3d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + (3, 1, 6) + 2 + 1 = 19 plus Imp Poison, Damage

Round 2, Init 2+ E20-->G22

Charlie moves to G22 and shoots An Raisin with an eldritch bolt.

damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10

Round 2, Init 22

** spoiler omitted **

Barael watches Andaisin just Andaisin, there is only one lady in this room, and her name is Dandi

awwwww. Thank you, Barael!

Round 2, Init 21, D23 -->D28, going around the statue.

Dandi moves, seeking a better shot, she moves to D29 and continues her readies again to throw the bomb should the woman try to cast.

Barael, though he was invisible, fails to strike Lady Andaisin as he comes out of invisibility next to her. Dandilion also moves deeper into the room and readies to cover any spell casting. Briar lines up his target but, alas, misses it. Fondo tumbles into range and prepares a little more for the fight. Nikolay lines up his shot, with a spell attached, but fails to connect. Charlie steps up with a ranged attack of his own and manages to connect! Majenko flies over Nikolay's head and sets up the flank with Barael again, and tries to strike as well. He tumbles in the last little way to avoid her blistering backstroke.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
Majenko: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 20 damage: 1d3 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 7 Poison DC 14

Though there is still puss on the blade, Lady Andaisin 'washes' her scythe in the closest pool which looks to be full of some sort of slightly dirty salt water. She makes her first swing on the newly arrived Barael and her second swing on Majenko. She then 'walks' up 5' more feet - which provokes from those in reach (Nikolay, Barael, and Majenko).

LA scythe on Barael: 1d20 + 13 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 13 + 1 - 1 = 19 (higher ground, prayer) damage: 2d6 + 5 + 2d6 - 1 ⇒ (4, 2) + 5 + (1, 5) - 1 = 16 and DC 30 save vs Disease (unless you are currently immune to the Blood Veil)
LA scythe on Majenko: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 1 = 15 damage: 2d6 + 5 + 2d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 2) + 5 + (4, 2) - 1 = 13

"Ahhh, very nice. Too bad I missed your familiar, but there will be time." She runs the scythe up her leg a little leaving a red gash on her shin - trickling blood, mingling with Barael's.

Round 3, Init 17

Briar moves to G21 and fires twice more.

1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 20 to hit; (PBS, Prayer, Bard, DF, Rapid)
1d8 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 15 magic damage; (PBS, Prayer, magic, DF, Bard)

Hmmmm...I can do better.

Briar takes a 5' step back into the hallway.

Round 3, Init 22

Barael watches Andaisin float higher, and his emotions mix with her false retreat and his frustration with his lack of faith.

Aroden, your man Merek, he could do the same thing. She's of the faith in a strong way, if she's able to do that. Does that mean that her god is here, amongst us? Aroden?

Briar called down the power of Nethys, and Nethys showed up and blessed us, right? So Andaisin just points a finger, and directs her god's attention at us. So if she stops pointing...

Barael springs upwards. Let's have her pointer.
Acrobatics to Jump upwards, Prayer: 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 20 + 1 = 28
Improved Disarm, Inspired, Prayer, Flank: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 29

If Barael manages to actually pluck that damned scythe out of her hands, he Vanishes in the fall back down. Ki point 6 expended

LA scythe on Barael: 1d20 + 13 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 13 + 1 - 1 = 20 (higher ground, prayer) damage: 2d6 + 5 + 2d6 - 1 ⇒ (3, 1) + 5 + (4, 3) - 1 = 15 and DC 30 save vs Disease (unless you are currently immune to the Blood Veil)

Later, as her scythe flies from her hands, she smiles and prepares her next action.

Barael - you also forgot your AoO from when she moved on her init.

Briar, where do you 5' step exactly? Also, you do less damage than you think you should with your hit (first one missed, second one hit).

AoO: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 13 for 1d6 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 7 damage
Ugh, stop cursing my dice, Evilan!!

[dice=AoO]1d20+8+2+1 for 1d6+3+2+1 damage

Ugh, stop cursing my dice, Evilan!!

Not to taunt you, but you had flank at the time (so more damage and more to hit), but you still missed.

Round 2, Init 12

He hacks and coughs as he does it, but Nikolay finally manages a good swing as the demon tries to float upwards.

AoO Longsword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28
(BAB +5, STR +3, Black blade +2, Weapon Focus +1, +2 inspire, +1 prayer, +2 aracana)
Longsword damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
(+3 STR, +2 Magic, +2 inspire, +1 prayer, +2 arcana)
frigid touch: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 4, 3) = 15 empowered = 22 & staggered for one round

Nikolay grabs his sword with two hands and tries to follow up his first swing. He smiles at the results.

Power attack 2-handed Longsword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34
(BAB +5, STR +3, Black blade +2, Weapon Focus +1, +2 inspire, +1 prayer, +2 aracana)
Longsword damage: 1d8 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21
(+4 STR, +2 Magic, +2 inspire, +1 prayer, +2 arcana, +6 power)

Well struck, Spellsword. Someday you might be a worthy elfkind.

What? Him?

Maybe.

Nice hit Nikolay, and I'm staggered though it was an AoO triggered by my movement. I think then my move finishes and I'm staggered for my next round. In other words it doesn't stop the movement that triggered the attack.

Had I moved first and swung second, I'd be fine with being staggered this round (and not swinging), but I don't think it'll stop my moving 5'.

However that means your follow up swing is out of reach unless you can manage to jump it.

Which brings up another point. Barael, the DC for your jump (because you didn't get a 10' running start) was 40. So you do not get her scythe.

Unless I missed something - which is certainly possible. It is late. :)

Barael wants to wail out praise to Nik's bladework, but chokes it down as he tries to remain unobserved from below the hateful woman above.

Fire and Steel!! Wait, what? Steal and Freeze!! Even better!! Bwahahaha!!!

Ninjas are always considered to have a running start as long as they have a ki point.

Round 2, Init 12+

Fondo draws the bow he liberated from the Gray Maidens and fires an arrow.

"The air shan't save you from your certain doom.
Korvosa screams for justice. Bow strike true." Inspire; bardic perform 9/10

Longbow, prayer, inspire: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 22
Prayer, Inspire: 1d8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 2 = 10

Barael checks his pockets before the jump, and smiles when he finds two Ki points rattling between his fingers.

Sorry for confusion. Missed it was 10' up now.

Nikolay moves out of reach to I-23 and uses the wand of magic missiles.
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Round 3, Init 2+ G22-->H23

Prayer round 3 of 6

Charlie 5 foots to H23 and shoots An Raisin with an eldritch bolt.

ranged touch, Majenko, prayer: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 12

Barael leaps up into the air and snatches her scythe before falling back down to earth invisibly. Dandilion (DMPC) continues to ready an attack to stop any spellcasting. Briar stands his ground and plugs her twice, hitting once, before stepping back into the shadows. Fondo pulls out his bow and makes a great shot, but misses. Nikolay nails her with his AoO (though does a little less then expected with his sword) and connects with his missile. Charlie hammers away at the fair Lady in the green dress. Majenko continues to dance and attacks the target one more time scratching her a little past the DR.

Majenko: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 23 damage: 1d3 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 7 Poison DC 14

Sleep Save: 1d20 + 11 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 11 - 1 = 14 (whew... that was close)

She cackles with glee and draws a Kukri as she 5' steps closer to Briar. She then concentrates ever so slightly and channels energy to harm the lot of you. "Oh, I am enjoying this. I haven't had this much fun in years! But know this, strike me down and you shall suffer ten fold and I shall go to my bliss! Stand down now and pray to Urgathoa!"

Channel Energy (negative): 5d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 3, 6, 5) = 22 Willpower DC 16 for half

Majenko Will save: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 1 = 26

Round 4, Init 17

Briar smirks as the scythe disappears from her hands.

That one has the heart of an elf. Well done, Barael.

However, the smirk fades as the woman bathes him in unholy energy.

1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 = 16 Will save (Prayer)

Briar takes a note from his friend and begins to use magic to disarm and defeat this foe.

Cast Pilfering Hand. Targeting her Urgathoan Holy Symbol.

1d20 + 7 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 33 CMB Disarm (DF, Bard, Prayer) vs. CMD on holy symbol

Oof. Go magic go!

Your magic and your God are weak, PlagueB#*&*.

Briar 5' steps back.

Her unholy symbol clatters to the ground, deftly disarmed by Briar. The chain that held it around her neck was thin, and snapped in the exchange (I gave her CMD a bonus - but still insufficient to stop the attempt).

The symbol of her god falls into pool surrounding the central statue and sinks slowly to the bottom with a splash.

"Young elf, you have age, but not wisdom. You're attempts to defeat me are mere folly!" She thinks a moment, and smiles broadly at the party - her next step already planned.

Round 4, Init 12+

Will: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 1 = 21

Fondo's face shows determination and a wry smile as Andaisin tries to draw the life from him.

"With death's caress have we our peace in hand.
Pharasma guides our wrath and sings your death.
We shall prevail and you shall ever rot."

Fondo drops his bow and wades into the water, drawing Davaulus' rapier as he goes. He retrieves the holy symbol, mask quite securely held in place on his face.

Round 4, Init 2+ H23

Prayer round 4 of 6
Hey everybody, don't forget prayer gives you a +1 save, too.

Will save: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13
I also got a +2 saving throw on saves vs. spells, but that is still not enough.

Charlie stands his ground and shoots An Raisin with an eldritch bolt.

ranged touch, Majenko, prayer: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 25
damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 9

Tumble: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 13 + 1 = 32

Round 4, Init 12

MM: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Nikolay waits impatiently on the ground for the demon and uses the wand again.

Round 4, Init 21 move to G28

Dandi, tired of waiting for what may never come, throws her bomb at the woman.
will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
bomb: ranged touch attack + a bunch, precise bomb to avoid 3 of her friends if necessary: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 171d6 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 10

(-22hp)

Barael (partly DMPC) drops his black blade and uses the priestesses own scythe against her leaping in the air once again. Dandilion, tired of waiting, strikes out at Andaisin and hits! Briar casts a quick spell and takes away Andaisin's holy symbol. Fondo slips into the water and collects the holy symbol. His mask smokes as the magics fend off whatever is in that water… Nikolay takes the negative energy hard but still manages to do a little damage to Andaisin. Charlie suffers from the unholy wave of energy, but his attack strikes true. Majenko stops dancing (he's out of juice!), 5' flaps to try and setup a flank for Barael, and continues to press his attack.

Barael Jump: 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 20 + 1 = 22
Barael Scythe: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 31 damage: 2d4 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2d6 + 3d6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 + (6, 1) + (6, 6, 2) = 32

As Barael lands from his amazing blow, the scythe slips a little in his hands, and he cuts himself damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5. I'm sure it's just a little paper cut and not anything more serious...

The party slashes and bombs and picks at her as she writhes in ecstasy in the air above you. By the time Charlie hits her with his eldritch bolt, she stops writhing and sinks to the ground next to the altar and Fondo. Her breathing comes in shuddering gasps for a few moments, and then nothing.

We're staying in initiative order for the moment, but she appears to be dead...

Is An Raisin a demon or something?

"Should we chop off her head or something?"

Charlie readies an eldritch bolt if she does the zombie twitch and jive.

ranged touch, prayer: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7
damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

Charlie - do you have Knowledge Planes trained? If not the maximum you can roll is 10.

With a DC 10, she does not appear to be demonic in any way.

Charlie, she was not in the class of animals, fey, monstrous humanoids, plants, seasons and cycles, weather, or vermin. She was a humanoid.

Round 5, Init 2

"I don't like it." whispers Dandi, and readies another bomb. She chitters to Wraith and sends her to the far corners in hopes of keeping her safe, but stays with her friends as they advance on the dead or dying plague worshiper.

"She was far too happy with herself even there at the end." once again, her voice has gone odd and otherworldly, as if someone else speaks through her instead.

readied action to throw a bomb at the Green Dress if she moves. Precise bombs to leave three of her companions out as per usual.

bomb ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 161d6 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 8

Barael watches Fondo. Briar delays, watching over the proceedings. Fondo quickly performs a coup de grace on Lady Andaisin's body. Nikolay piles on the damage just in case. Charlie readies to attack the body should it arise - but misses when it does! Dandilion readies a bomb and throws! Majenko flies over to Briar and perches on his shoulder, tired from the efforts of the day.

As Fondo's blow strikes Lady Andaisin, her body shudders and gives up any semblance of life. Nikolays' blow confirms it beyond any doubt. Her green dress is red with blood, her body begins to pour sweat, bile and phlegm leak from her lips, pus from her wounds, and milk from her breasts. Her body purges itself of all fluids, shrivels… and begins to stand.

What once might have been a woman now towers as a monstrosity of exposed muscle, twisting marrow, and hellish majesty. Flesh worn like a tattered gown and bone warped into gruesome scythes, her rent gut spills a wave of hardened fluids, dried bowels, and supremely powerful muscles into a single tentacle tail, propelling the feminine horror forward. She takes to the air hovering just a few feet over what's left of her former body (image).

"I told you I would rise if you struck me down, and I have… and I shall continue to do so for all eternity!!" she laughs with glee, and evil. The very room itself, already dark, chill, and damp - seems somehow darker and colder.

No AoOs excepting Charlie's and Dandilion's readied actions (Charlie misses but Dandilion hits). She definitely looks un-human now though. Still not a plant.

"HALFBLOOD! GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Briar says as he readies his bow for a clean shot.

Delay for Charlie to move my line of fire.

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 Know (Religion)

Briar will explain what he knows of the thing.

Briar knows it is rare, and it is undead, but he can't put a name to it. Nor does he know anything about it.

I will say though that it is solid. The image makes it look a little incorporeal, but it is not incorporeal. It is solid.

Round 6, Init 12+

Fondo shakes his head. He tosses away Davaulus' rapier and draws his own from its enchanted sheath, sharpening it with magic (+3, 3 rounds).

"Rise, then. We'll strike you down again, every time. For your doom is our fate.

Round 6, Init 22

Barael's eyes close for a moment, trying to shut out the image of the horror before him. His eyes closed, the image still etched into his mind, the sound of the slither and laughter, he wishes for it to all go away. Aroden, why this?? That this is possible... the gods are cruel. "Aroden, why?!" The throb in his hand seems to mock him in answer.

Confirm Critical?: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 24 for 6d4 + 12 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 1, 3, 2) + 12 = 29 damage

Barael lowers the scythe, his mouth dropped wide open. Aroden, a thanks from the bottom of my soul. If this is the last thing I do, I welcome what comes next.

Round 6, After Charlie moves

Briar shoots twice at the thing.

1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 16 to hit; (PBS, DF, Prayer, Rapid)
1d8 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 + 1 = 5 damage (PBS, DF, Prayer)

1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 1 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 17 to hit; (PBS, DF, Prayer, Rapid)
1d8 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 + 1 = 5 damage (PBS, DF, Prayer)

Sigh.

Briar 5' steps back into the tunnel.

ooops

(DC14, reflex for 1/2, Minimum=6)

Round 6, Init 2+ H23-->F22

Prayer is over after this round

"Stand still! We aim to make you clean."

Charlie will 5' to F22 and shoot an eldritch bolt at the whathaveyou.

ranged touch, prayer: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9
damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

Barael criticals on his one hit! Briar misses on two attempts. Fondo swings, his rapier cutting deep into the monster. Nikolay prepares his spell, but doesn't quite connect, yet. Charlie fires and eldritch bolt, but misses. Dandilion also connects with her bomb. Majenko, emboldened by the parties success so far, casts a Cure Moderate Wounds, tumbles into flank above Fondo, and touches the creature and hits! (her touch AC is very low)

Barael recoils from his critical and again has trouble maintaining his grip on his weapon. Must be all the blood. Never the less, he cuts himself to the tune of damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Majenko Tumble: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 1 = 18
Majenko Touch: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 1 = 15 for damage: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (3, 8) + 5 = 16

DU scythe on Majenko AoO: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14 damage: 2d4 + 9 ⇒ (2, 2) + 9 = 13 Poison DC 16

She spins and does a little pirouette splattering most of you with blood. She turns her attention on Barael, dropping him, then Fondo, before stepping/flying (she's not climbing altitude - she remains just a few feet above the ground) a little closer to Briar and Charlie. She takes a moment to kiss the statue on the lips leaving a trail of blood in the clear pool below.

DU scythe on Barael: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 13 - 2 = 26 damage: 2d4 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2) + 9 + 4 = 18 Poison DC 16 - Blood Veil
DU claw on Fondo: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 11 - 2 = 22 damage: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 4 = 15 Poison DC 16 - Blood Veil
DU tail on Fondo: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 11 - 2 = 24 damage: 1d8 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 4 = 16

Map Round 6-7

Fondo, your mask was cooked by the altar fluid and so no longer provides immunity to the Blood Veil. Barael, I think you still wear a working mask so no save for you - just a stabilize check.
