DM PatheticWretch presents The Green Market (Inactive)

Game Master PatheticWretch

Feybella falls unconscious but clings to life.

Hastard strikes at the ghost, and what looked like a miss seems guided by the divine and hits.

E'li starts slinging stones at the ghost, which seem to do full damage to it. The first two hit, one very hard, but the third misses.

I hate to skip Starling given the difficult combat. If someone wants to take an action for her, feel free.

Starling starts her bardic performance and ‘inspires courage’!

+1 Hit and damage and fear effects.

(I don't see any damage on the yellow elemental, Did Panda's attack hit the yellow elemental? 26 to-hit & 6 dam)

Thanks Enora - a minor correction though, it's +2 to hit&damage!

Stabilize: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

She manages to slow her bleeding.

I do like this character and the stuff that he can do!

How beat up does the ghost look?

You've done some pretty good damage to the ghost, but it's still got some fight.

Starling begins some inspiring oratory, just before the ghost and elementals attack.

Galdron moves away from Hastard, and while he does so a searing light strikes the cavalier with fervent heat. 16 dmg, no save

One of the elementals strikes Hastard, as well. 7 dmg, DC 16 Refl save or Burn (1d4 dmg at start of next round)

The other elemental sees Panda as the bigger threat, and smashes the beast with a fiery arm. 4 dmg, DC 16 Refl save or Burn

ROUND 2 (EVERYONE IS UP!)
Ongoing effects:
Haste
Bardic performance (+2 atk/+2 dmg)

Enora (-19 hp) (10 temp hp)
Feybella (-53 hp) (stable)
Cody (-37 hp)
Panda (-9 hp)
E'li (-21 hp)
Hastard (-10 hp)
Nord (-21 hp)
Starling (-6 hp)
Galdron (-36 hp)
Fire elemental (red)
Fire elemental (yellow) (-6 dmg) [ooc]Thx for checking, added the dmg from Panda)

searing light, touch atk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 173d8 ⇒ (5, 8, 3) = 16

slam: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 131d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
slam: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 221d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

slam: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 151d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
slam: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 251d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

cody or panda?: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Moving quickly and inspired Cody swings hard at the fire elemental.

Being no slouch, Panda Jr gives the fire elemental some hard strikes as well. Fortunately, Panda's fur doesn't catch fire from the elementals strike.

Enora makes a small step to E'li and draws her wand of CLW.

She activates it to cure the only one who can do real damage to the undead.

UMD DC 20: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Using another swift action, the warpriest will add holy to his sling and will let loose 3 bullets to the ghost since his weapon has ghost touch.

1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 20
1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8
2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7 good

1d20 + 10 + 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 - 2 + 1 = 17 rapid shot
1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6
2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9 good

Hasted
1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 14
1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12
2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7 holy

THat should do some pretty good damage to the monster :)

Fey continues to lie on the ground. She looks peaceful.

Just letting you know I'm checking in on the thread.

I am glad that she looks peaceful :)

Hastard Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
-33 HP now, I believe GM and...ON FIRE! :-P

Bursting into flames, Hastard shrieks aloud. "Hey! Quit it!"

"Nord, get the fire thing....the one in range that isn't me!" he calls out, forcing the beast to shift towards the steps. In range again, he lashes out at the shaman with all his might.

Cody and Panda continue to work over one of the fire elementals, but find its defenses very difficult to bypass. They do some decent damage, however. DR

Enora heals E'li while he prepares to unleash a holy pelting on the ghost. His shots seem to penetrate the ghost with deadly effect. Each one seems to weaken it significantly. Though the last stone misses, it doesn't seem to matter. The first two have taken their toll.

Galdron becomes solemn, and with a wave of his hands dismisses the fire elementals. Proud and hot tears roll down his cheeks as the ghost explains, “In returning to my original self, I forgot who I had later become, and why I was right to do so.”

Galdron casts aside his short spear, and his armor passes through him to land on the ground with a thud. The ghost clutches at his chest and seems to pull the flames from his body into his heart as he closes his fist around it. Squeezing, he forms it into a glimmering red gem—an elemental gem— which he also tosses to the ground.

“It is not weapons or armor which prevent peace, but succumbing to wrath. I see this now. I will no longer protect the Green Market, as others must find their own unity, unmotivated by fear.” The Shoanti, now no longer smoldering and smoking, levitates above his sacred altar, salutes to the Pathfinders as though raising a spear, and then melds with the stone table. A few moments later, after the group collects the items on the ground, the scene begins to waver and they return to the Green Market on the Material Plane.

Zeeva stands looking on in amazement. "What happened?! Where did you go?!"

Cody calls out as the Shoanti goes, "Rest in peace Galdron!".

The hunter uses his wand to heal Felbella.

Wand ClW 2 charges: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (4, 7) + 2 = 13

Fey comes back to consciousness. "What happened? Where did he go?"

Enora is still shocked by the experience.

"This ... this was just ... amazing! Did you feel the magical resonance?! Did you feel the power that moved us to anther plane? I rarely experienced such wonders before! And we survived ... may he rest in peace!" Enora says and then she explains everything that happened to Zeeva and Feybella.

The warpriest takes off the enhancements from his sling and sits down to pray.

Zeeva Foxglove thanks the Pathfinders for eliminating the Aspis Consortium threat—at least for the time being—but wonders if reports of giant plant monsters, ghosts, and outsiders may have contributed to this as much as the group's actions. Zeeva has the shrine permanently unearthed and restored as a fountain in the center of the Green Market in honor of Galdron Greenheart, which pleases Telmayne Fire-Eyes and goes a long way toward ensuring the market and the South Shore district have peaceful relations with the Shoanti.

The Green Market continues to grant preternatural luck and business acumen to those plying their trade within its walls, but the spirit of Galdron Greenheart no longer punishes the sale of weapons, armor, and magic items. As such, the Green Market opens its doors to traders of all wares, bringing even larger profits to the community— and, of course, to Zeeva Foxglove.

That's it, folks! Good job! Sorry this took longer than I'd have liked it to...I had several trips over the summer and that didn't help.

Thanks for GMing! There was also the site downtime that added to the overall time.

I can’t help but think there was a peaceful way to resolve the final encounter that we failed to discover. Maybe the point was to prove violence doesn’t win unless you’re a Pathfinder?

I am glad that he had the ability to use the ghost touch on his sling. The fight could have gone much worse if he didnt have that.
