Dungeon Master S's Eyes of the Ten Parts I-IV (Inactive)

Game Master Chris Marsh

As soon as I read it, I remembered. Sorry about that!

Also, I made a mistake in Roos's damage. He takes an additional 2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8 of damage.

REF 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
REF 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Ignatious pounds the barbarian with spells designed to knock him out. Still the man stands.

When Roakar comes at him, there's little he can do. Skelg the ripper drops to the arena floor, most of his injuries are minor.

Man, when this came out this fight was brutal, even for level 12s. Times have changed!

Kol Voss immediately shouts the challenge again. Adril shouts his refusal, and the crowd that so recently supported the new King Adril immediately turns violent and begins shouting in Azlanti for the death of "the Beast." Even the princess, chained to the floor beside him, shouts that he’s a coward.

All hell then breaks loose. The crowd begins to climb into his luxury box, he quickly unchains the princess and flees, shouting defiance over his shoulder, "Not today you sanctimonious bastards!"

His flight from the challenge further incites a riot. The crowd manages to destroy the device powering the Pactmaster force field freeing you from the arena! Adril has quite a lead on you. The Ripper lies unconscious at your feet... Kol Voss starts shouting and takes off after Adril.

What do you do Pathfinders?

Roakar drops out of rage, stows his hammer, and draws a wand of CLW. He also draws out a pair of masterwork manacles to help in keeping Skelg under wraps. He begins to heal himself up as the party reorganizes and gives chase.

Roos will give chase after Adril...

so damage Roos has taken is 25+8 correct?

@Roos, yes.

Roakar heals and then chases, Roos is ready to chase. Darius, Osric, and Ignatious to weigh in.

Darius hauls ass after him as well.. how far away is he?

It's hard to tell how far off he is, as you've lost sight of him. He ducked out through a vomitorium. Voss seems to know where to go though, he's just waiting on you guys.

Osric and Ignatious left.

I'm going to rush to Skelg and cast Magic Circle vs Evil, targeting him.

"Go, I'll catch up shortly. And thank you."

Next round, pick him up, dropping his axe (and any other weapons I find easily accessible), bind him with my Silk Rope, and grabbing one end, start flying after the party.

I realize that's a few rounds worth of actions, I just wanted to post a little in advance in case I can't later.

We're not in initiative, and I don't mind giving some leeway with both fluff and crunch actions.

Ignatious takes care of the man (who is also manacled by way of Roakar.) With that the party dashes after Adril. Botting: Osric releases the other captives who immediately join you on the hunt for the Beast, Adril.

The group of you chase after him through the maze of hallways beneath
the arena’s stands, you soon hear a huge, booming roar. Once you reach the outside, you see a sight you've never laid eyes on. It's some kind of ship... It looks like a a large sailing vessel similar to those on Golarion, but with leathery wings and a massive balloon. It's sailing quickly up away from a nearby skydock trailing a cloud of thick black smoke. Dozens of citizens of Arl lay dead across the skydock and several other airships are burning. One ship, however, seems intact. Here Kol Voss awaits. He shouts, " everyone board the ship immediately!" His man act instantly. To you, in case you need convincing he adds, “The Beast has my sister! If you are cowards, you can stay. I am not. I shall fight him in the clouds if I have to!” and with that he races across the skydock, a handful of his men following him.

While on the boat Roos expends some charges from his heal stick after the vicious cut he took from Skelg...he does not like Skelg...
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Roos is also not singing now until battle commences again.

I'll also make sure to do take a little more in depth look at Skelg, (not wanting him to pull an Adril in part 1 :P), just to make sure that his wounds will not kill him as we move.

Heal: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Also, if everyone wants, I can Channel to heal us, (excluding Skelg), and save charges.

THIS time, you're certain he'll survive.

Darius quickly follows after..

No need for healing from me. I go through HP so much that I have 5 wands of CLW.

Roakar hops on board the airship.

"Wait....these things fly?" Roakar asks with extreme suspicion.

Voss misses the humor and simply nods.

Kol Voss and his people obviously know how to steer the ship as they move to various positions, they simply brush past you to get into position. Kol himself and all but two of his men head down to the engine room. He shouts back "We've got to get the power up and running!" The two remaining men prepare to navigate. Within the minute your ship takes to the sky. It's immediately obvious that the rogue venture-captain’s vessel took some damage in its escape as it moves a bit slower than your ship and leads a trail of black smoke that seems to pour from several cracks near the airship’s rear stabilizing wing.

Adril’s strategy seems to be to pilot his ship higher and higher. As you ascend, the air grows thinner and much colder, Anyone not affected by Endure Elements needs a Fort DC 15. Kol’s men manage to push the vessel just a bit higher than Adril’s airship, the navigator turns to say "Be ready to jump!" (in Azlanti). As he turns back to look ahea-

BOOM!!!!!!

Your airship leans hard to starboard and begins to rapidly descend. The men scream in alarm, shouting in Azlanti, "someone has sabotaged the engines! Get down there! Quickly!"

"What the hell was that and why are we not FLYING!?!"

Once someone relates the issue to Roakar in common he heads down to the engine room with everyone else, muttering "Stupid flying boat can't keep it's stupid self in the air. Never should have trusted this stupid contraption. Should have just chased Adril on foot. Now we gotta fix the stupid boat. How do you fix a flying boat?" The muttering goes on as he makes his way to the engine room.

"I'm skilled at the helm, if need be. Or, I could always leave Skelg here secured, and fly ahead to run interference of that other vessel. Can't take the sky from me. . ."

How far is Adril's boat from us?

nice reference Iggy

Roos, unaccustomed to flying, grabs onto some rigging just holding on for dear life trying to make sure his lunch does not come back up...
"When will this flying boat land?" he asks no one in particular...

No one wants to fix the ship or possibly get the people who sabotaged the engines?

"Not land Roos. CRASH!"

Nicely done brown coat.

The ship ahead is only 50' in front of you when the explosion hits, but in seconds it starts pulling away by hundreds of feet (and it's travelling well over 200' as a double move.) While talking, the men shout, "check on Voss!"

As Ignatious checks on Skelg, a woman's scream splits the sky...

An ulfen woman of beauty and power drops an invisibility spell as she emerges from below decks. "IGNATIOUS! How? How are you here?!" She sees The Ripper unconscious at his feet. "We were FRIENDS IGNATIOUS! How could you?!"

Her eyes glow with a cold blue light. From behind her a platoon of dead frost giant warriors takes the deck with preternatural speed.

Baddies: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Darius: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Ignatius: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Osric: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Roos: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
Roakar: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

YOUNG giants. Sorry. Also the giants appear out of thin air (literally). They're all about you when the ruse is broken.

Something about Ignatious's history causes her to doubt and give up the advantage.

Round 1
Roos:Go
Darius: Go[/b]
Baddies: TBD
Osric: TBD
Roakar: TBD
Ignatious: TBD

Last again.

"We saved him from killing himself, dear. Adril must have some sort of control over his will. He attacked us, and would have died. Please, stop. You gave this hatred up long ago. Don't give into it. We are trying to get to Adril now. He fled once he could no longer use your husband," pointing off to the other airship, "and we are trying to chase him. Join us, <I'm assuming> Natalya. Help us to save your husband and this world."

"LIES! He's at YOUR feet Ignatious" Natalya cries. She adds, "Kill them all except THAT one. He's mine."

"And alive. Look. I couldn't leave him there to die, but if we had stayed to break whatever hold Adril has on him, Adril would have escaped. I did the only thing I could. I am your friend. And his. I will not fight you."

Always had a bit of a crush on her. Ha ha. We where very much polar opposites.

Roos moves to place himself between orange and Iggy knowing Iggy has a better chance against these undead than Roos doe and he begins singing a song to inspire courage, maybe the undead song "Awaken" as his companions move to do battle...Roos will use the parry swashbuckling deed to defend himself from attacks...will roll it now to speed things along..
Holy rapier Parry: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28 if successful then
Parry counterattack: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (15) + 23 = 38..DMG+holy: 1d6 + 23 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 23 + (2, 2) = 33

Round 1
Roos: Bardic performance, and a ready to go parry riposte
Darius: Go
Baddies: TBD
Osric: TBD
Roakar: TBD
Ignatious: TBD

"Natalya, don't do this. We are trying to help you and Skelg! Again."

Assuming she is still hostile one my turn, and Natalya is still attacking us.

"Roos, move closer to the others, friend."

I'll fly towards the middle, and cast Communal Resist Energy (Cold Resist 30) on everyone, (Fort DC 17 Negates), and making sure to bring the helpless Skelg along to, not wanting any of the undead to think he is an easy target.

13, 10 Min increments to divide:
Darius - 20 mins
Grimmtooth - 20 mins (if present)
Ignatious - 10 mins
Shirly - 20 mins
Skelg - 20 mins
Roakar - 20 mins
Roos - 20 mins (if 5ft steps into touch range)

"If they continue, let them come a bit closer in. . . They must fall. She still has a chance."

Darius enhances his weapon as a swift action and auto defensively casts intensified shocking grasp via spell combat/spellstrike.. He attacks green..

SS: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23 Vs FF +4 to hit if wears metal armor
Attack 1: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (11) + 20 = 31
Attack 2: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Dam SS: 1d6 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23 Dam is +5 for DR purposes
Shocking Grasp: 10d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 1, 2, 4, 2, 3, 4, 2, 5) = 30

Dam 1: 1d6 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22
Dam 2: 1d6 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 20 = 21

If the 1st attack misses the shock damage will go off and next swing..

"It's too late Ignatious! The gods will show use who is right and who is dead!

Ignatious's spell barely takes hold before Darius begins to attack. His first swing slams into the dead giant, but it's frost hide resists his blade ever so slightly. Still, it cuts deep and the electricity shocks the creature. His second swing cuts again, but the third misses by the smallest of margins.

"PAY!" She unleashes a massive amount of lightning on her own. She focuses first on Darius. REF DC 23 for Darius, 21 for everyone else to take half of: 14d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 4, 3, 6, 3, 1, 6, 3, 2, 4, 4, 1, 3) = 46 electricity damage.

"Kill everyone but him!" she points at Ignatious.

The frost zombies move to smash the party with icy fists. The ice in their flesh doesn't seem to prevent their movement. Their fists leave ice upon you, but Ignatious's spell is enough to protect you

Black shambles over to Osric and tries to drop a fist on him: Slam: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 18 = 32 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Red comes down the stairs to drive a fist into Roakar: Slam: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Green: stands toe to toe and tries to punch Darius a couple of times, despite nearly falling apart after his bladework: Slam: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Slam: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Orange, looks down at Roos and brings his hands together on either side of his head: Slam: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Slam: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Yellow steps forward to swing at Osric: Slam: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Cyan too comes after Osric: Slam: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Slam: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30 for DMG if hit: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Round 1
Roos: Bardic performance, and a ready to go parry riposte
Darius: Magus mastery.
Baddies: ATK
Osric: Go
Roakar: Go
Ignatious: Go

"Kill everyone but him!" she points at Ignatious.

Man, knowing their history, I gotta wonder what the hell Skelg did to piss her off this time.

Refl: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 <+2 vs Evil, Electricity Resist 5>

The frost zombies move to smash the party with icy fists. The ice in their flesh doesn't seem to prevent their movement. Their fists leave ice upon you, but Ignatious's spell is enough to protect you.

Round 1

Roos: Bardic performance, and a ready to go parry riposte
Darius: Magus mastery.
Baddies: ATK
Osric: Go
Roakar: Go
Ignatious: Go <<--

Unless I missed something, technically that will be my Round 1 Action which hasn't gone off yet.

Yeah this one is ....interesting. Thanks for the heads up Ignatious. Let's say that if you took a hit you also take 1d6 ⇒ 1 cold damage.

Round 1
Roos: Bardic performance, and a ready to go parry riposte
Darius: Magus mastery.
Baddies: ATK
Osric: Go
Roakar: Go
Ignatious: Cast

Even though Roakar is flat footed he reacts to the zombie shambling down the stairs (red) with an AoO (combat reflexes, reach). I am pretty sure that red was originally 15 ft away and moved through my threatened range. Correct me / ignore this if I was wrong.

Attack AoO - PA, IC: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24
Damage AoO - PA, IC: 1d12 + 24 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 24 + (4, 1) = 30
Vicious: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Roakar's counter attack causes the zombie to over extend his attack and completely miss as it stumbles down the stairs.

Roakar then counters the zombies with pure aggression. He activates a round of haste from his boots, rages (1 rage), activates come and get me, and raging brutality (3 rage).

He then goes to town on any zombie in reach (cyan till dead, then yellow).

ATK 1 - R, PA, RA, H, IC: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (7) + 28 = 35
DMG 1 - R, PA, RB, IC: 1d12 + 42 + 2d6 ⇒ (11) + 42 + (1, 2) = 56
Vicious: 1d6 ⇒ 2

ATK 2 - R, PA, RA, H, IC: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (13) + 23 = 36
DMG 2 - R, PA, RB, IC: 1d12 + 42 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 42 + (6, 4) = 60
Vicious: 1d6 ⇒ 5

ATK 3 - R, PA, RA, H, IC: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19
DMG 3 - R, PA, RB, IC: 1d12 + 42 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 42 + (5, 3) = 52
Vicious: 1d6 ⇒ 6

ATK H - R, PA, RA, H, IC: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (9) + 28 = 37
DMG H - R, PA, RB, IC: 1d12 + 42 + 2d6 ⇒ (12) + 42 + (6, 2) = 62
Vicious: 1d6 ⇒ 5

EDIT: Forgot my reflex save
Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Roakar takes 23 electricity damage as he is able to partially dodge the thunder storm that erupted on deck.

You are not wrong, I meant to call it out, Roakar gets the AoO

Roakar scores a quick hit as the giant zombie closes, but the undead doesn't go down. With two swings he flattens the face of one zombie, and two swings later a second goes down.

Round 1
Roos: Bardic performance, and a ready to go parry riposte
Darius: Magus mastery.
Baddies: ATK
Osric: Go
Roakar: SMASH
Ignatious: Cast

My third attack was a Nat 1 (for 52 DMG), so the second zombie probably didn't go down.

You sir, are correct. My apologies. Busier than expected today so I'm missing the details.

Round 1
Roos: Bardic performance, and a ready to go parry riposte
Darius: Magus mastery.
Baddies: ATK
Osric: Go
Roakar: SMASH
Ignatious: Cast

Reflex: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39

Osric is able to avoid taking damage from the spell Thank goodness for Evasion!

He then take four slams to the head, sapping a great deal of his strength.

Surrounded, Osric grabs his heavy axe from his back and lays about with wild, powerful blows directed at yellow.

Power Attack; Inspire; Favored Enemy (Undead)

Attack 1: 1d20 + 16 - 4 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 16 - 4 + 2 + 4 = 35

SR Shirley: 1d20 ⇒ 5 pass
Reflex Shirley: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 nothing via imp evasion

Osric switches to melee and finishes off one of the zombies. Soos, ready for the attack, is spared this time....

Round 2
Roos: Go
Darius: Go
Baddies: ATK
Osric: TBD
Roakar: TBD
Ignatious: TBD

Roos moves to red and attacks it (if possible) holy rapier: 1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 20 + 2 = 29..DMG: 1d6 + 23 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 23 + 2 = 29

Roos's blade penetrates deep into the zombie giant. The undead doesn't go down, but the depth of the stab can't be discounted.

Round 2
Roos: Stab
Darius: Go
Baddies: ATK
Osric: TBD
Roakar: TBD
Ignatious: TBD

I'll Channel Energy to harm undead.

Channel Energy Ref DC 22: 7d6 + 19 ⇒ (4, 6, 5, 3, 3, 4, 3) + 19 = 47
Undead receive no Channel Resistance

Round 2
Roos: Stab
Darius: Go
Baddies: ATK
Osric: TBD
Roakar: TBD
Ignatious: Will channel. DC 22 (23/47)

Bot of Darius? I also don't mind waiting.

I'm not too sure on how his character plays, so trying to keep it fairly simple.

Concentration DC 17: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (13) + 27 = 40
Magic Missile vs Black: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 2, 1) + 5 = 18
and

Full Attack 1 vs Green: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34 <Crit Threat>
Confirmation: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (16) + 28 = 44
Damage: 1d6 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24
Crit Damage: 1d6 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26

Full Attack 2 vs Green: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26

I'm assuming +2 Att/Damage for Inspire Courage, Power Attack, +5 Weapon, Weapon Focus/Spec, and Spell Combat.

Works for me!

Darius extends a hand for but a moment as a pentad of missiles streak forward and slam into the zombie giant. Without a moment's hesitation he decapitates the one in front of him.

Black: pummels Darius Slam 1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23 Miss
Slam 2: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19 Miss

Red: pummels Roakar Slam 1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37 for 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Orange: pummels Roakar Slam 1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28 Miss
Slam 2: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Natalya steps forward, "May we be on the same side in the afterlife!" Cone of Cold, hits everyone, zombie giants are immune. REF DC 23 for half of 14d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 1, 5, 4, 3, 5, 1, 6, 1, 6, 4, 4, 2) = 51 DMG.

Ignatious steps forward and channels an opposite force to destroy the zombies.

Black: Will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
Red:Will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
Orange:Will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

And black nearly goes down, but holds on for a bit longer.

Round 2
Roos: Stab
Darius: Go
Baddies: ATK
Osric: Go
Roakar: Go
Ignatious: Will channel. DC 22 (23/47)

Remember, everyone should have Cold Resist 30.

Refl: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

51 - 30 = 21

Reflex: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39

Osric avoids the worst of the freezing blast, then steps next to Darius and aims to bring down another zombie and free his allies for a strike on the mage.

Inspire, Favored Enemy, Power Attack

Mwk Cold Iron Greataxe!: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20

I thought I had posted the DC. it was DC 23 from an evil source.

-Posted with Wayfinder

23 for Darius, 21 for everyone else. I just wasn't sure if I made a 19 or a 21 on that save. So -20 for Lightning Bolt and - 21 from Cone of Cold.
