DM Harpwizard’s Heroes of Elsir Vale (Inactive)

Game Master GM Harpwizard

Tom finds his trip on his dog interrupted by a strange force, jarred out of the ethereal plane by a strange force the paladin finds himself 15' short of his quarry, Tom still lunges using a tactic taught to him by the great Garet Jax. Lunging, he attempts to strike the evil creature, and the holy power cuts through magical resistance.

Don't know if it works, but hit roll of 30 with damage of 31 I will use to try and attack -- last smite evil used vs Azar -- Tom's AC will be 29 after lunging (33 vs Azarr). Active haste, smite evil, +3 shield of faith, bless. Bonus points if anyone remembers Garet Jax.

Round 4

• Tomkin (hp: 57/74) attempts to dimension door and attack the High Wyrmlord, but a hemispherical energy field prevents him from teleporting next to him. The closest he can get is fifteen feet away. The paladin quickly smites evil upon the High Wyrmlord and strikes at him with a lunge attack. The attack barely cuts through the dragon spawn's armor and a trickle of blood comes forth.
• Red (hp: 16/94) ignores his own wounds and fights on against the Erinyes devil. With unparalleled finesse, the bard hastily and accurately stabs the devil and then severs off her head. She collapses to the ground dead.

Round 5

• Bofus (hp: 36/53) activates the staff of life and heals Red completely!
• Tirion (hp: 19/49) finds a spot in the shaft to cast his spell and uses Chain of Perdition on the High Wyrmlord, however, the gnome is not able to connect with the chain. Tirion, do you have the capability of hovering in the shaft?
• Ulwai Stormcaller (hp: 22/52)
• Azarr Kul (41 damage taken)
• Mirrin (hp: 57/87)
• Tomkin (hp: 57/74)
• Red (hp: 16/94)

Fly(hover): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31 vs DC15

Round 4

Ulwai Stormcaller, looks at the devastation caused by the High Wyrmlord and she bravely steps up and casts Cure Moderate Wounds to heal her fiance Tomkin.

Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 9 ⇒ (4, 5) + 9 = 18

"You do not have much time, my love. We are all in grave danger. Take down Azarr Kul as fast as you can!"

Round 5

Letting his minions die defending himself, The High Wyrmlord Azarr Kul continues to cast spells. Concentrating on his spell defensively to avoid any threats from Tomkin, the Wyrmlord casts yet another spell.

While the magical chain continues to bring the Wyrmlord to the ground, Tirion reaches into this pouch and pulls out a small rod with a picture of a man falling down carved into it.

Trip(Chain of Perdition): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32 <-- maybe?

Spell Resistance: 1d20 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 4 = 29 <-- hopefully?

Then, with the rod grasped, Tirion begins to cast another spell.

"Stay alive, Halfling, and I will write your own theme song in my opera!"

Round 6

The high Wyrmlord Azarr Kul lies prone on the ground disgusted. In draconic he calls out,"Do not let me fail now, Oh mighty Tiamat! If it is your will, strike down these foes that I may ever serve you!"

Casting Defensively from the prone position, Azarr Kul casts his next spell.

Concentration Check vs. DC25: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27

Suddenly a 10 foot radius vertical column of divine fire strikes down centered at J/K-23/24.

Conical Flame: 14d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 5, 6, 2, 4, 2, 3, 4, 3, 1, 4, 1, 2) = 48 Ulwai, Red and Tomkin Reflex Save DC 21 for half.

Reflex Saving Throw: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

"I love you Tomkin" Ulwai calls out as she jumps aside trying to avoid the flames. It was a good effort, but unfortunately it is not enough and her scorched body lies on the ground unconscious and bleeding out.

Round 6

• Bofus (hp: 44/53) pulls out a potion of Cure Moderate Wounds and quickly drinks it.
• Tirion (hp: 19/49) overcomes Azarr Kul's Spell Resistance and strikes at him with Chain of Perdition.

Reflex 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

So what's with the forcefield? is there a way to get around that?

Physically you are repelled, bot non living matter and spells seem able to pass through.

Spellcraft 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
Spellcraft 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
Spellcraft 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

Tom tries to dodge. ref: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Tom hammers at the villian again. Watching his lady fwll, he still sees his target through tears as he swings with determination. He lunges again.

smite1: 1d20 + 21 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 21 + 4 + 4 = 451d8 + 29 ⇒ (7) + 29 = 36

Holding off until we see if he is smote or not.

Whatever Mirrin does won't change my action...

ROUND 7

Bofus was about to quip a thanks to Stormcaller when he sees her fall--but still alive--to the Flame Strike. Fortunately, he kept the Staff of Life in hand...

He hurries over to her, invoking its magic again...

UMD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20 <--talk about close!!! DC=20...SUCCESS!!

...and the Heal spell washes over her. As her eyes flutter open, he grins at her. Had to save you. That theme song won't write itself, now, will it??

Round 6

• Bofus (hp: 44/53) pulls out a potion of Cure Moderate Wounds and quickly drinks it.
• Tirion (hp: 19/49) overcomes Azarr Kul's Spell Resistance and strikes at him with Chain of Perdition. The floating chain with hooks attached to it take the High Wyrmlord by surprise and pull him off of his feet to the ground.

• Azarr Kul (176 damage taken)
• Mirrin (hp: 57/87)
• Tomkin (hp: 50 /74)
• Red (hp: 70 /94)

The High Wyrmlord Azarr Kul lies on the ground motionless protected behind his antilife shield.

Mirrin will ready an action to put an arrow in him if he stirs.

Not my place to steal the coup de grace.

The Wyrmlord clings to life and with his near final breaths, utters a quiet prayer in Draconic as he attempts to do Tiamat's will right to the end.

As Azarr Kul falls unconscious, the swirling vortex of energy above thunders and rumbles with power. Suddenly, the energy is swept away . . . along with the roof itself, like an egg hatching outward. A searing hell-wind blasts through the inner sanctum, thick with the gut-churning reek of brinmstone and burning flesh as a blasted landscape of twisted mountains and red lightning-plagued skies is revealed to you.

You may each make a standard action.

• Bofus (hp: 44/53)
• Tirion (hp: 19/49)
• Ulwai Stormcaller (hp: 52/52)
• Mirrin (hp: 57/87)
• Tomkin (hp: 50 /74)
• Red (hp: 70 /94)

Ulwai Stormcaller stands up and rushes over to Tomkin.

"My dearest Tomkin, you did it! You have slain the High Wyrmlord, but I fear that you are too late. The portal yet opens. This is what he has been working on for months."

Tom does make sure the high wyrmlord is slain with abother lethal blow.
"How do we close it??!! Anyone!!! Is he holding something we can use, a key of some sort??"
loh again swift: 4d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 2, 3, 5) + 8 = 23
73/74hp. 4/8 Loh no smite
Tom's healing leaves a scratch left.
"Lady, you have helped defeat Azarr. As the ranking wyrmlord, can you do anything to stop this??"

we have a full set of Eyes of the Dragon...will that help??

Move action: stow the Staff

Red looks on in wonderment, racking his brainas to whether he has heard anything about this...

Are there relevant Know checks etc?=[]

Next Round
Not knowing what to expect next, the flying gnome speaks a few arcane words before drifting over and touching the hard to see halfling A moment later, Bofus blinks out of existence, making him even harder to see than usual.

Cast Invisibility

5-foot step adjacent to Bofus and then touch him to make him invisible.

Don't you think I'm invisible enough??? You can hear the smile in the halfling's voice...

"Lady, you have helped defeat Azarr. As the ranking wyrmlord, can you do anything to stop this??"

"Stop this?! At this point, I'm not sure how, but let's hope you can stop whatever comes out of this portal. Azarr Kul was trying to open a portal to one of the planes of Hell to bring in as many hellish fiends as he could to build his army and take over the entire land."

"We have a full set of Eyes of the Dragon...will that help??"

"My word, Bofus! Where did you get those?! Azarr Kul gave those to a number of his Wyrmlords to try and stabilize a portal here in the realm of Golarion. Do you really have a full set of them? If you can destroy them, then I think you can break the High Wyrmlord's connection from this realm to Avernus, Tiamat's realm in one of the planes of Hell."

Well holy hot dam!!! Who's got a hammer??? Everyone get those eyes out!!

Priority now is turn those eyes to dust

Edit : sh1t. The black pair is in Brindol. The Harp Wizard has them

A brief moment before hell breaks loose.

• Bofus (hp: 44/53) stows his staff and asks Ulwai Stormcaller about the Eyes of the Dragon.
• Tirion (hp: 19/49) casts invisibility on Bofus.
• Ulwai Stormcaller (hp: 52/52) stands up, rushes over to Tomkin and begins conversing with the halflings.
• Mirrin (hp: 57/87)
• Tomkin (hp: 50 /74) swiftly lays on hands.
• Red (hp: 70 /94)

Are there anything other actions that you folks wish to do before I move time forward another six seconds?

At this point, I have no clue who has the eyes of the dragon.

Tirion looks to Bofus.
I can use magic on them, but some of the magic weapons might be more effective.

Red gets ready to start smashing some gems...

Is there any cover?

Tom waves his wand, making a shield appear.
UMD anything but a 1: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25

+4 to AC for 35 total AC now

I'm looking over the thread to see whether my notes that DMHW has the black Eyes is correct, because I think it may not be. I think we had him hold them on the way to the lich, but took them back for this leg of the journey, and I failed to note it. I'm looking for proof of that!

EDIT: PLEASE SEE THE DISCUSSION THREAD!!

Bofus starts scrabbling in his pack--then remembers that the last 2 Eyes of the Dragon are with D. M. Harpwizard back in Brindol!

He whips his head to Stormcaller. Lady, quickly--your opinion. Would the gems have to be destroyed RIGHT HERE?? Or if they were simply smashed--say, in Brindol--would that be enough?

He takes out the Eyes that he has, motioning for the rest of the group to do the same. THen he takes out his Feather Token, ready to pen a quick message depending on Stormcaller's answer.

Towering before you is a colossal shape, a shape that you recognize. The Queen of Evil Dragons is a five-headed dragon of enormous size. Each of her five heads matches that of a chromatic dragon.

The chromatic dragon's massive blue head darts down with lightning speed on Azarr Kul's body, swallowing him with one effortless gulp. As this head pulls back into the writhing inferal sky, her other four leer down at the party, their jaws gape, and an unholy blast of divine retribution tears into the gap between the planes. With a deafening blast of wind, the room is momentarily plunged into darkness.

Fortitude saving throw for everyone in the room, please.

Tiamat, Queen of Dragons

"Bofus, there is no time to wait! Crush them now! We may already be too late."

Fortitude Saving Throw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

fort: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

Aura of courage= immune to fear effects, anyone within 10' gets +4 to fear

Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 <--I'll bet this is Not Enough...

Bofus pulls out the green and red gems he has, as well as the Bird feather token. He whips out a paper and charcoal as fast as he can, scribbling CRUSH THE BLACK EYES RIGHT NOW!!! And commanding the bird give it to the Harp Wizard!!

Tirion! Get those other gems out!!

my notes said I have 2, Tirion has 2

Tirion reaches into his haversack, which thankfully has three gems on its surface. He takes them out, tosses them into the air and casts Magic Missile hoping that the magic might destroy the gems.

Move: Draw gems from Haversack

Standard: Cast Magic Missile
--> 1 missile at each gem, 5 missiles total, other two toward someone else gems.

1d20 + 20 ⇒ (17) + 20 = 37 +3 against spells, spell-like, or supernatural abilities.

"Whatever yer doin ye best be aboot it quickly!"

Tom gets ready to smash gems. His magical glaive ready to get down to busines. He pops in front of his lady love to protect her.

• Tiamat. The chromatic dragon's massive blue head darts down with lightning speed on Azarr Kul's body, swallowing him with one effortless gulp. As this head pulls back into the writhing infernal sky, her other four leer down at the party, their jaws gape, and an unholy blast of divine retribution tears into the gap between the planes. With a deafening blast of wind, the room is momentarily plunged into darkness.

Those who failed a DC20 fortitude save are deafened for 1d6 ⇒ 3 rounds.

An instant later, the jaws of the five dragon statues pulse with energy, flooding the room with light again as they breathe acid, ice, lightning, and fire into the room, converging on the upraised platform in the center of the inner sanctum. Any creature standing at this location immediately takes the following damage.

Acid: 10d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 2, 4, 3, 2, 6, 2, 2) = 29
Fire: 10d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 6, 3, 2, 5, 2, 4, 3, 5) = 40
Cold: 10d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 3, 5, 5, 3, 5, 4, 4, 3) = 39
Electricity: 10d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 2, 4, 5, 4, 4, 5, 4, 3) = 42

Fortunately, for all of you, you were all off of that raised platform at the time of the powerful blast of energy!

Round 1

Ulwai Stormcaller shrieks as she realizes that she has lost her hearing.

"Oh my dear Tomkin! I cannot hear you! I cannot bear the thought of not hearing your tender voice again!"

Immediately, she casts Cure Serious Wounds on Tomkin to heal his remaining wounds.

Cure Serious Wounds: 3d8 + 9 ⇒ (6, 2, 7) + 9 = 24
Spell Failure <20%: 1d100 ⇒ 16

Unfortunately, in her deafened condition, she is unable to successfully cast the spell.

"Tomkin, my love, I have failed you! I am not able to heal your wounds!"
