DM PeteZero's PbP GameDay 2: PFS From Shore to Sea (Inactive)

Game Master Pete who?

Valeros manages to avoid the thing's tentacles, but the spell...

Will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

He manages to throw off as well. With a holler he steps up and attacks.

full attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 191d8 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 141d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 191d8 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 131d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 211d8 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 161d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 291d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Didn't see that sorry. Thanks for making the save for me.

Kyra readies herself drawing power unto herself in rpeparation to unleash it should any of her allies are injured badly.

Ready to channel if any ally take more than 50% damage

Ezren pulls out a little ball of bat dung and sulfur. He chants quickly and points. A fireball erupts right behind the creature. It engulfs the foe without reaching Valeros.

damage: 7d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 3, 4) = 16 reflex save DC20 for half damage

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Bart stares a the pretty pattern.

Magnus will move up, calling on the power of Abadar to smite this primeval beast. he should be able to move all the way up! with the haste! but will not get an attack.

ac vs the evil fish of 27

Flinders moves to the other side of Ezren and fires an arrow.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7

Valeros manages to score two hits. Kyra readies to heal. Bart is fascinated by the hypnotic pattern.

It then tries to save 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Magnus moves up, and it takes its AoO

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

if hit Fortitude DC20: if failed your skin and flesh transform into a clear, slimy membrane over the course of 1d4 rounds. The creature's new “flesh” is soft and tender, reducing its Constitution score by 4 as long as it persists. If the creature's flesh isn't kept moist, it dries quickly and the victim takes 1d12 points of damage every 10 minutes. Remove disease and similar effects can restore an afflicted creature to normal, but immunity to disease offers no protection from this attack

Flint misses.

Then it lashes out with its tentacles at Valeros.
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Another skum appears and casts lightning bolt, getting Bart, Ezren and Flinders.

8d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 2, 2, 1, 5, 3) = 21 DC16 REF for half damage - Bart can act again as the lightning bolt breaks the spell

Mohlomogh: 70 damage taken

Group is up

Reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25 Flinders has Evasion. so takes no damage.

Reaching into his bandolier, Flinders removes a gem and smashes it on the ground. A large water elemental appears and Flinders orders it to attack!

"Destroy that skum!"

I would assume it appears south of Flinders, but since it has a swin speed, I think it could reach the skum in a single move. If it can get there in a single move, I'll have it form a vortex and engulf the skum. DC 19 Ref to avoid 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 damage and another DC 19 REf to avoid being picked up by the vortex.

Save vs. Damage 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

damage: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 1) + 4 = 13

How long is Bart fascinated? I imagine quite a while.

folio reroll w/ 2 GM stars: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 2 = 20
whew! Just barely!

Magnus now attacks the evil creature with all of his might!
"By the Last of the Azlanti and the Lord of the First Vault, I banish you from this realm! Taste the fury of Humanity Unleashed!"
Power Attack Smite: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28 crit confirm due to Keen: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25 damage, assuming critical: 2d4 + 14 + 2d4 + 14 ⇒ (3, 2) + 14 + (2, 4) + 14 = 39

You have no problems bringing the aboleth down.

The skum tries to cast. 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 Giving him a save every round as it is not an underwater combat

And hen tries to cast defensively 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

Another lightning bolt shoots at you, including the water elemental.
8d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6, 3, 2, 6, 4, 6) = 38 DC18 for half damage

Ezren looks over at Bart. "Let me give you some more mobility lad" He chants over a spider, then touches Bart.

Ref: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Bart leaps out of the way of the lightning. "Thank you, my friend!" Bart calls to Ezren as he leaps up the wall and fires another arrow at the skum.

Flinders moves up near the sleeping skI'm and casts spell, while telling a joke.

Hideous Laughter DC 15

Seeing the beast down, Kyra moves towards the Skum, intent of cutting it up.....

Magnus curses the fallen fish, "and thus you fall to the superior species, fish breath. Aroden curse you for all eternity."

He then double moves towards the skum spellcaster.

did the lightning stroke hit the sleeping skum?

It did, they are sizzling and dead, it hit also Ezren, Flinders and Bart - waiting for Valeros

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

@Flinders: you can still roll for the elemental's action, either try to vortex again, or do slam attacks

Valeros tries to get out of the way of the lightning.

ref save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Instead he takes it to the face. Hair standing up, singed and battered, the swordsman is not in good shape. With a grunt he toughs it out and tries to wade closer to the skum caster.

double move

Bart moves quickly along the wall (and/or ceiling), getting behind the skum.

Double move. I think I can get behind him.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Magnus to 12 hp

Magnus's body is wracked by the pain of the lightning bolt. He calls once more upon the healing power of Abadar Lay On Hands: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 6) = 14
up to 26hp

Turning to the skum sorcerer, Magnus calmly states in his best stentorian voice as he closes with his hasted speed, "Beast, I do not know if you can understand me, but I have slain your master. Now, I shall slay you. There is no doubt about this."

He easily moves the 15' through the water, thanks to the Haste spell
Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 for: 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (3, 2) + 10 = 15

Ezren steps into the room the fish beast was in and quaffs his potion of cure moderate wounds.

Flinders steps forward and snaps his whip at the caster.

Valeros starts a stabbing party on the fallen fish man.

charisma +2, 307 gp

A wand of remove curse with 6 charges remaining lies on the floor nearby. The copper sheets hovering above the lab contain formulae outlining the creation of elixir of true form, usable by any character with the Craft Wondrous Item feat.

Detect magic reveals the magical nature of the lab’s unbottled results, while a DC 24 Spellcraft check discovers that six elixirs of true form (see Treasure) can be salvaged. A DC 25 Spellcraft check is required to infuse the remaining ingredients into the elixirs and complete their creation.

With the defeat of Gerlach and Mohl’omog, you have removed the threat to the village of Blackcove and may return to the mainland. By using the elixir of true form, the you can also cure yourselves of the taint brought on by the warping effects of the island. Upon arriving in Blackcove, you are met by Gervus, Lira, Nicolaius, and the rescued villagers, who give them their promised reward.

End of adventure

Chronicle

And reported!

Thanks for playing!

"Phew!" Bart says as he climbs down from the wall. "Thanks for that, Ezrek. I'm a bit short for this water."

"Well, I'm glad we were able to get rid of this fishy threat while we were here. I rather liked my webbing, but I suppose I should revert back or I'll be even more of an outcast from my family."

Thanks for running GM! That was a fun one! I'm a fan of Lovecraft so of course this had lots of cool spoofs/references. And you managed to get us through just in time!

Thanks for the great run, DM PeteZero! Had a lot of fun!

Thanks Pete! Had a blast.

Thanks Pete for the real game though I apologise for not being as active as I should be.
