DM Fang Dragon’s Ruins of Adventure (Inactive)

Game Master FangDragon

One detail, the beholder is floating about 10' up in the air.

Anyone got a Fly?

We probably do, but as soon as it looks at you, you will fall to the ground. No magic field means no magic... :(

Maybe start killing the cultists? Maybe it will come to investigate. Or shoot it with a bow until you get a chance to crush it?

OK looks like things just got real, going to wait for Ishta and Kardas to post actions.

Hehe

Please bear with me, this might be a pretty complicated combat. Can you please check if I missed any buffs on you?

Ahhh! How do I draw the outline of the box, or make it translucent?! I'll leave it as is, but this isn't optimal haha!

I'll process the round tomorrow, I had meant to do it tonight but it got late.

Ser you may want to use your swift action for something else but don't forget your lay on hands!

I was planning on actually using Smite, but, you kicked my arse that round...lol!

So I had a feeling you'd probably one round the beholder... Still that could have been really nasty to face with all the save or suck/die eye beam effects.

It's dead?

For sure, it could have done a LOT to us if we had given it the time to do so. I'm just glad it was initially looking away or so much of that couldn't have happened.

Just a heads-up, I'm having a busy week and might be slow for most of it.

Hey no worries I know how that is!

Let me know if you still want to teleport (Dimension door?) up there still. Probably the easiest way since only some of you can fly.

Good question.

If I do Stone Shape, we still need a way to get up there and back down anyways. I think I should teleport everyone anyway (now that we don't have a dragon to teleport, I can take you all at once).

Agreed. We just need Stone Shape to escape if we want to exit physically. Wasn't there a no-teleport spell going though... are we sure that is dispelled? If it is, then yeah, let's make sure we gag the cultist so he can't scream for help, and then go.

EDIT: Well, my character had other ideas. Might regret showing compassion, but I guess we'll see. :)

As much as I've searched, I think Stone Shape is the best option. I've thought about walls, resilient sphere, etc, but am those allow SR or have a finite duration, whereas SS is instantaneous.

So when Azarra is finished with the traps Ishta will deal with the Golem.

So after a crappy week where the physiotherapy backfired on my body, I also managed to pick up the flu q_q

I'll get a post up now, but yeah, fun times *scowls*

Ufff. Get well soon!

Are you going to rest before exploring the council building? If so, where will you try to rest?

Azarra let me know if you want to check out the harper hidden caches in case a message was left for you. You don't know if they've been compromised or not so I didn't want to assume anything in my previous posts

Oh, good idea. Yeah, can we say that she checked them while she was invisible, to give whatever crow observers less of a chance to see what she was doing?

Re: resting
Ishta is still okay to go further today. Using the faerie gift, we should have no problem resting later on... unless we do :p I mean, I hope going back and forth between worlds is not banned here inside - that lich is a b*tch!

Kardas has web and grease memorized. Being a magus, he doesn't have a whole lot of utility, but it might help contain the non-lich elements in the upcoming fight(s).

so let's put on our mean faces

Private! Show me your war face!

LOL

I need to prepare a battle map. I can't find one that looks like the town hall in my minds eye (I'm thinking of something very plain), but I found a cool looking one I can base things on, it requires a minor plot twist to explain the continuity error.

Anyway please bear with me I should be able to get things ready for tomorrow.

FYI, I am on Christmas break December 16-January 2. I might get on somewhere in there, but the likelihood is not high. I will have zillions of relatives here taking up all my availability. Apologies. Please bot me or have me lapse into a coma or whatever for the duration, and I'll check back in in a couple of weeks.

No worries, enjoy your break!

@Everyone else can we please get a few posts? Ones that drive the game forward a bit? :)

I have been keeping up daily, but not certain what he can do and not cause a sound for initiative!

I'm still reading along, but Kardas has had little to add to the recent posts. I dug into the mythic rules (they always seem to find a way *out* of my brain) and I'll update Kardas to tier 2 later today. Just gotta find a mythic spell I want :)

And yes, the World Cup might've taken a lot of my time and attention in recent weeks *rolls eyes*

MYTHIC 1 to 2
-Amazing Initiative: gain mythic tier to initiative, as a free action expend one use of mythic power to take an additional standard action. This cannot be used to cast a spell, and you can only get one extra standard action.
-Ability Score: +2 Strength
-Path Ability: Competent Caster (auto-succeed at casting arcane spells, doesn't apply for highest level spells)
-Mythic Spell Known: Monstrous Physique I

Merry Christmas Eve to all!

I'm going to wait until everyone's back and had a chance to say what they want to do.

Hey, I am back, and I posted in all of my other games, but ran out of time for this one... saved it for last because it is probably the most dramatic at the moment, but have to work now. Will post later on, but honestly... feel free to move forward. I'll be reading. :)

Hey, Azarra! I'm applying to another FR game here in Paizo. I'm thinking my character there might use Azarra as the name of his contact, who might introduce him to the Harpers later on, in game, and as "quest giver" who's driven him to where he is now. I'll also acknowledge she's one of the Heroes of Phlan and a Watcer of Dawn. You know, my way of making your character "live" a bit longer in payment for all the good times we've had with you. I hope you don't mind! (and if you do, let me know and I'll just change the name).

PS: Ser Armithia and Kardas might appear as well :P

I seen that Recruitment. Trying to only apply to PF2e games now. It's so hard!

Ha ha... feel free to use Azarra's name. :)

Also, I am all caught up on reading, and ready for Ser's breaking of the chair. Hope it goes well. Azarra is currently outside the room, but she will re-enter as it happens I assume, since the room has been cleared of all of the people we were worried about.

I was hoping to start the combat with everyone inside. Otherwise realistically that'd mean Azarra spends the first 2-3 rounds running, seems a shame to start the final bossfight like that.

I started the New Year with a flu, so if I'm slow, you know why q_q

Well, I guess Azarra could get in while the boss gives its final speech :p

I mean, you said I saw my parents, so I was just going from what was written. I don't care when you bring her back in.

Hope you feel better soon Kardas!

Azarra don't forget the throne is likely vulnerable to sonic damage ;)

I'm finally starting to feel somewhat alive again. Thank you for your patience.

Sorry folks no update tonight, caught my wife's cold and I'm having an early night.

Testing if my posts come through now ...

edit: I hope you're feeling better! for some reason, the paizo forum has been super wonky the last day or two for me. Must be the OGL stuff?!

Yes I'm feeling better thanks. Yesterday I got very frustrated by events on another table and by the time I felt like posting again paizo had received the Reddit hug of death and I couldn't.

Apparently there is 25% off on Paizo things so now might be a good time to buy if you're so inclined.

> Kardas I can't remember does your blade count as good? The demon has DR 10/Good.

It is 'merely' +5, which should make it bypass alignment-based DRs per the DR page - https://aonprd.com/Rules.aspx?Name=Damage%20Reduction&Category=Special% 20Abilities

> Reading back I can see this post: "Kardas will pull a veil of mirror images over himself once Armithia shoots into action, if possible." Kardas never actually rolled for the images - perhaps we should do so now.

Mirror Images: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Digging through all the rules for the magus gave me a slight headache, but we're not done yet. Since Kardas gets 9 charges of frostbite, every attack that hits triggers it. I don't know if the demon has sufficiently high cold resistance (perhaps it is immune), and or if I have to roll spell resistance on every hit, and or how many times I hit it, so I only rolled both the dmg and the resistance just once.

Normally, you roll once per spell per target, so only once. It is all or nothing.

Yeah, having to roll per hit would be over the top.
