DM Rah's "The Citadel of Flame" PFS PBP Gameday (Inactive)

Game Master Kobash

Will: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

”Nothing wrong with greed! But I'm not here for your greed, gold or weapons!”, Mr. Thicko fires off another round.

Pistol: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10;1d8 ⇒ 8

The skeleton wavers and fades away as Ugly's shot flies through it.

Haku moves to the wall to investigate his suspicions, but aside from the viewport, which is hard to see through from this side, he finds no entrance.

Suddenly, a sphere of flame bursts into existence and rolls into Haku, burning his leg.

6 fire damage to Haku

All PCs can go again.

Sark throws his cloak over the place where the hole is then searches for a door to the south of where he is(on them map) in other room.

Am searching for secret doors on the wall just south of where my token is on the map, behind what looks like a bench.

search: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Do I get a save, or did you do that for me?

Unprepared for such a situation from her time in the army, Pascal looks around wildly for someone to hit.

Consarnit!

Backing away hurriedly from the flames, Pascal flees back into the main room and looks for any other view ports.

perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Haku, I made the save for you.

or didnt make it :P

Angry for having been duped by the illusion, Ugly reloads his pistol and charges into the next room.

Thanks! ^_^ I wasn't sure!

Alden Follows Ugly to give support.

Sark and Pascal withdraw to the first chamber and begin searching for an entrance. They do not find one, though Sark does notice another peep hole. Whoever's been watching has been doing so for a while it would seem.

Ugly and Alden enter a richly-decorated chamber. Against the east wall sits an ornate brass throne, sculpted to resemble an enormous hand of flame. Wood painted to resemble tendrils of smoke rising from behind the throne merge into a detailed mural of Moloch’s idol on the wall. Beautiful tapestries line the other walls, depicting a grand battle between soldiers of flame and the dervishes of Sarenrae.

Ugly and Alden have a move or standard action left if wanted. I also need actions from Haku and Leonides.

Ugly darts to the double doors, and quickly flaps it for a target check.

Partial cover

Haku ducks back around the double-doors to the West and slides down the wall, holding his burned side. Crud, that stings...

I forgot to address Sark's cloak over the peephole. Because the peephole is situated behind a torch sconce it is easy to cover it, and Sark 's cloak will smother the torch there, but will get a little fire damaged in the process.

Sark returns to the room, grabs his cloak(Move) after he has passed the peek hole and runs to the the next room(or as far as he can). When its his turn again he will move south from the hellknight what-a-be and search the wall for another peek hole or door. He says to the foolish gunslinger " You are mindless zombie?, you trying to get us all killed or just yourself? We move as a group or not at all." Its a bit funny seeing a kid verbal abused the older gunslinger. Sark does look around to others for some backup on what he is saying.

Alden Peeks out from his shield.

"Ermm I followed to give him some support."

Rather sheepishly.

Leonides returns to the room the party entered through and moves to open the south set of doors.

Um, is there still a giant ball of flame rolling around?

-happens when Sark gets to the round of being able to speak to Ugly; coat, flaming sphere, movement, search, etc.

Either Ugly is completely oblivious to tomb raiding procedures or he is just simply ignoring them; he looks back to see Sark trailing him again. ”Why are you following me?!”, Ugly says in hushed tones,”-I don't need a sidekick! Next door, you get to go first! Now back to the other side and cover the exit! ”. Whether Sark stays or goes, he puts his attention back to sneaky bastard behind the door. ”Alden, come and take point with that shield.”, Ugly motions.

Alden Shuffles forward. Shield held up as cover against whatever may come forth.

"Yes Ugly Sir. Point taken Sir."

The above sentence is hilarious.....

this group dynamic is awesome

Ugly's eyes lividly rolls back for a moment at the little voice in his head, Hey, he just call you ugly..., about to turn and rebuke, but forces his attention back to the front.

Ugly reminds me a little of Deadpool! :p

As everyone runs for positions around the citadel the flaming sphere rolls out of the armory, turns, and jumps at Sark. Peering closely at the tapestries along the wall, he is caught by surprise and the burning ball lands squarely on his back, burning him so badly he falls unconscious.

14 fire damage to Sark.

Everyone else can declare actions again.

bloody hell how can he even see me to direct the ball! Doesnt he need to keep Line of effect? with the cloak over peek hole was sure it would break both LOE and LOS rules for spells. Also i think that is the 4th 1 on saves for us, maybe we should be making our own saves eh DM :P

Ugly reminds me a little of Deadpool! :p

Mentally unstable? I'll take that! :)

Also waiting for GM to describe what Ugly sees before declaring actins.

Haku stands a little crispier than usual, "Shouldn't we rejoin the others? Pas, Leo, are you guys hurt at all?"

Sorry, misunderstood Ugly's intention to open the doors and look inside.

Ugly peeks through the double doors on a room that seems to have been ransacked. Although formerly full of finery, scarlet drapes lie in tatters on the floor, obsidian pedestals are smashed, and shards of red and black clay cover the floor. The southeast corner is the only exception—a large table sits there undisturbed. On it is a large, armored flame creature with the head of a bull.

Hmph!, Ugly circles around to the edge of the tapestry and tears it down over the flaming ball, hoping to extinguish it and reveal a passage.

Spellcraft check to identify spell as it's cast: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Alden Pulls out Sark from the flames.

"Sark!!! Oww... You're hot....."

"Ugly? Stranger? Need a little help here."

Alden gestures to both the flaming ball and Sark somehow using a combination of eye rolls, neck stretches and grunts.

Alden pulls Sark from the burning sphere. A moment later it dwindles and vanishes in a final lick of flame.

Awaiting actions from Leonides, Pascal, and Haku.

Waiting for Leonides and Pascal to respond to my question, before I act.

"We're fine Haku! Just blocking up these peepholes!

Pulling off her cap, she stuffs it into the peephole then moves to the next room once Leo opens the door.

Sark body reacts badly to being burned again in such a short time and he does not wake up this time from the attack, but his body fights to stay alive.

stop dying DC 15: 1d20 ⇒ 14

"There are more?" Haku begins actively looking for more peepholes, then if there is a pattern (in terms of regular distance between them) makes a mental note for the next room, awaiting Leonides.

"Help Sark's Hurt and I don't know how to help him!!"

"Gah! Where are you guys?" [ooc]Unless they sound like they are right through the double doors, Haku will run back around the long way around, trying to be careful to avoid peepholes that are not covered.

Just waiting on Leonides.

"I'm fine! The caster in there just fired up a shield spell, so forget about using your wands of magic missile." Leonides continues through the south room towards Sark, Alden, and Ugly. Double move to get to the others; he'll cast CLW next round.

Okay, I believe Leonides goes before Haku, so Haku moves diagonally SE, then E to the double doors near Alden, pressing against the wall to reduce visibility from the caster. Then he pulses the blessings of Tangaroa Channel Energy, selective removing the caster if possible.

Channel Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Haku and Pascal follow Leonides and rejoin the rest of the party in the far chamber. Haku channels healing energy, but Sark is too injured to regain consciousness.

Ugly rips down a tapestry and spots the outline of what appears to be a door against the west wall, though he does not see any normal means of opening it.

Everyone can go again.

Hustling back to the viewport, Pascal blocks this hole up as well.

Lets see how well you cast spells when you can't see!

She then peers around for a sign of a door.

perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

GM's ruling on shooting bullets through peep holes?

Hopefully the tapestry helped putting out the fire. ”There's a hidden door over here!”, Ugly calls out; then looking down at the crispy kid, he could do no more healing him than he can to himself - basically lots of spit and rubbing. ”What's with you and fire?”, he says to the unconscious Sark, "-probably the source of why youths shouldn't play with tindertwigs."

"Give me a minute to get Sark back on his feet. That flaming sphere really messed him up good. Shame, he's got a nice face."

CLW on Sark from wand, 44 charges remaining: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Sark bleeds :)

dying save: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Sark, you are stable now, just not conscious. You were healed 2 hp.

And then Leonides tagged you and cured another 9 HP.

Sark burns that covered most of his body harden then fall off his body leaving the skin below as pink and flesh. Within seconds his eyes flick open and he sits up looking around at the group. "hmmm what happen? last thing i remember is look at that wall over then, then then ooo a burning..."

I think everyone has gone except Alden. Anything this round from him?
