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

Game Master Chris Marsh

Map is up to date. Sorry about that.

Round 1:
Roos: Go
Darius: Go
Roakar: Go
Ignatious: Go
Baddies: TBD

Any of the stuff on the ground difficult terrain or objects I can't move through? Any of them look like spellcasters? I will post my move in the morning. It will look something like, Roakar charges yada yada yada gooey mess on the floor.

The two in the back look like casters. The squares in front of each are difficult terrain, but nothing else.

"What is going on here? Who are you scared off?" Roos says as he sees them. Once they make a threatening move or their intentions to fight known Roos will cast Good Hope and then stand aside and let big Roak do his thing.

Round 1:
Roos: Good Hope
Darius: Go
Roakar: Go
Ignatious: Go
Baddies: TBD

Oops, I think I had a post get eaten.

The trio practically spit at Roos, "Damned Pathfinders! We were too dangerous to kill so you locked us up in this tower. We've killed plenty, and we'll kill you!"

Darius moves up to the melee one and takes a single 2 handed swing.. Switch to enchance his weapon.

"Seems they've made their choice.."

Attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23 vs FF
Dam: 1d6 + 25 ⇒ (2) + 25 = 27

Darius will not be denied! He scores a solid hit, but the woman merely grunts and stares daggers at him.

Round 1:
Roos: Good Hope
Darius: Hit
Roakar: Go
Ignatious: Go
Baddies: TBD

Heightened Merciful Intensified Fireball Refl 18 Half: 13d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 1, 4, 3, 5, 5, 1, 5, 5, 4, 1, 1, 3) + 1 = 44

"One last time, there is no need for further violence. We can discuss this. We seek Adril. Can you, please, tell us where he is? You can clearly see we aim to not kill you."

"ADRIL FREED US!" The woman in armor continues to yell.

Ferocleus: REF: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Pycerat: REF: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

The two try to dodge the spell, but only one manages to get much protection. Still, they seem intent on a fight to the death... though the one who dodged much of the spell seems to be considering Ignatious's words.

Round 1:
Roos: Good Hope
Darius: Hit
Roakar: Go
Ignatious: Merciful fire
Baddies: TBD

Roakar charges the elf lady.
Rage, power attack, charge, come and get me

Atk 1: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (2) + 29 = 31 Dmg: 1d12 + 2d6 + 34 ⇒ (3) + (4, 3) + 34 = 44
Atk 2: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (15) + 24 = 39 Dmg: 1d12 + 2d6 + 34 ⇒ (7) + (4, 1) + 34 = 46
Atk 3: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31 Dmg: 1d12 + 2d6 + 34 ⇒ (2) + (4, 3) + 34 = 43

If something magical interferes with my attack I reserve the right to modify one of my iteratives into a spellsunder.

When she falls, Roakar stops attacking, looks to the other spell caster and says "Give up...or your next

How is there a full attack on the charge? I'm sure you've mentioned it before, but it's slipping my mind.

The merciful flames of Ignatious's spell swirl around it's antithesis as Roakar charges in. Moments before he gets to the elf, an invisible force prevents him from getting any closer! The elf laughs at the barbarian and summons forth a wall of stone!

The armored woman screams yet again, this time it's nothing intelligible. She lashes out at Darius with a dizzying array of stabs:

Short Sword 1: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27
Short Sword 2: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Short Sword 3: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Dagger 1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28
Dagger 2: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28

But each and every stab results in the klang! of steel on steel.

The woman in the corner looks on in horror. She mouths the words of a spell and levels a finger at Roakar. Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23 Roakar's rage and strength are sapped from him as the inky ray engulfs him. FORT DC 18 to reduce to fatigued, otherwise exhausted.

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

Round 1:
Roos: Good Hope
Darius: Hit
Roakar: Charge!
Ignatious: Merciful fire
Baddies: ATK

Darius smiles at the woman.. "You have some talent I see.. You should surrender so I don't have to kill you.."

He auto defensive casts frostbite and attacks 3 times, swift for arcane accuracy, attacking non-lethal..

Attack SS: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (9) + 20 = 29
Attack 1: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24
Attack 2: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29

Non-Lethal SS: 1d6 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23 Non-Lethal Cold: 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
Non-Lethal 1: 1d6 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25 Non-Lethal Cold: 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
Non-Lethal 2: 1d6 + 20 ⇒ (4) + 20 = 24 Non-Lethal Cold: 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Target is fatigued if it takes any cold damage as well..

She puts up a good fight, but on the third hit with the flat of the frosty blade, she crumples to the ground. She's breathing, but barely.

Round 2:
Roos: Go
Darius: Frosty destruction
Roakar: Go
Ignatious: Go
Baddies: ATK

"Ack! A wall!" Roos exclaims as he enters the room after Darius and Roak. Unable to get past it this round Roos begins singing to inspire his friends on the other side...

Round 2:
Roos: Inspire Courage
Darius: Frosty destruction
Roakar: Go
Ignatious: Go
Baddies: ATK

How is there a full attack on the charge? I'm sure you've mentioned it before, but it's slipping my mind.

I have pounce

Since I can't seem to finish my attack can I attempt to spellsunder the effect on my first turn?
SpellSunder: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (19) + 33 = 52
Dispells effect if greater than
CMD+5 = suppressed 1 round
CMD+10 = suppressed 2 rounds
CMD+15 = Dispelled

Fort Save: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (4) + 27 = 31
My understanding is that exhausted/fatigued do not drop me out of rage, they just prevent me from entering rage.

Darius, I do believe they thought it smart to cage themselves in a room with us.

Pounce, got it. Yes you can spell sunder. Looks like you're right about the rage thing. I was mistaken.

Roakar's shunting only makes him angrier. With a smash he shatters the spell!

Round 2:
Roos: Inspire Courage
Darius: Frosty destruction
Roakar: Sunder
Ignatious: Go
Baddies: ATK

I can just let the sunder be the standard action for Roakars round 2. Since Roakar still has a move after sundering the spell he will close in on the casters. Keeping his rage up and activating come and get me.

Looks like you're right about the rage thing. I was mistaken.

No issues. I plan on being immune to exhaustion, fatigue, nauseated, and sickened next level. All part of my secret plan to become ridiculously hard to kill or hinder.

"Seems like a smart idea!! Makes it easy to get close to em!!"

Having made my (and it seems our) point, I'll lower my weapon and "Adril has lied and deceived us all! Even after I saved the man's life, he stabbed us all in the back, and has tried to have us killed. Even at the hands of those that where our friends. Now, he is trying to murder another. We only want to stop that from happening. Help us, and whatever crimes you may have done, and I will personal vouch for you. You can be free, but you can do it over innocent blood,. . . or you can do the right thing, and earn it by going above and beyond what anyone could b expected to do."

The woman in the corner, "Maybe we should..."

The one in front of Roakar, "SHUT UP YOU FOOL! MORE PATHFINDER LIES! LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO HER!"

"She lives, and I can heal her. Heal you all. If you think I lie, strike me down. I will not fight nor flee."

I'm going to spend my action speaking, as this and the above are probably beyond the limits of a Free Action.

Agreed. You do feel, however, that one of them is having second thoughts...

Round 3:
Roos: Go
Darius: Go
Roakar: Go
Ignatious: Go
Baddies: ATK

I kill her first. :P

Roos keeps singing unsure if Iggy will defuse the situation with diplomacy or if Iggy will be the target of their wrath. Roos will also have a readied action if someone moves in a threatening manner against Iggy to strike out at them.

Round 3:
Roos: Bardic
arius: Go
Roakar: Go
Ignatious: Go
Baddies: ATK

Roakar takes a 5-foot step back and to his left. He looks to the spellcaster on his right (the one who may give up) and says "Let me make that choice easier for yah."

He the full attacks the caster straight in front of him.
Rage, Power attack, come and get me, Reckless abandon
Atk 1: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (8) + 29 = 37 Dmg 1: 1d12 + 2d6 + 36 ⇒ (11) + (3, 4) + 36 = 54
Atk 2: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (2) + 24 = 26 Dmg 1: 1d12 + 2d6 + 36 ⇒ (2) + (5, 6) + 36 = 49
Atk 3: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39 Dmg 1: 1d12 + 2d6 + 36 ⇒ (11) + (5, 5) + 36 = 57

Crit confirm: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31 Dmg Crit: 1d12 + 36 ⇒ (10) + 36 = 46

Roakar pulls his punch if the caster goes down early...sure hope she does as the crit might just kill her.

The third hit is the one that drops her.

"ENOUGH! I surrender. Please...I. .. I don't want any more killing. No more!"

She surrenders.

Indeed she drops her gear and raises her hands. Then she drops to the ground and cries.

"Please, take whatever you want. Just let me live. Just tell them I came quietly!"

"Ummm guys... are you done fighting in there?"

Upon Roos's question, she looks pleadingly at Roakar and Darius.

Also, I don't know what happened to OSric in the initiative. I'm terribly sorry. Not intentional :-(

"This could have been avoided altogether. I told you we did not wish to fight. We truly jut need answers so we can help save another. Will you help us? We can help you as well. Please, tell me where Adril is."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (7) + 25 = 32

Ill try to see if the other two are alive still.
Heal: 1d1 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
Heal: 1d1 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16

I'll assume that Roakar at the least knocks the wall apart.

"I know. I know. You could have offered them the world, they'l never trust a living soul. They were hard before the prison, insane after. I'm not sure what I can do to help. If Adril is the one who freed us, I don't know where he went. He freed us from Stasis then vanished. He told us only to "wreak havoc", and we were all to happy to comply. I don't know where I am. I don't know how I can help you."

CLW 1: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 <Ferocleus>
CLW 2: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 <Pycerat>
CLW 3: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 <Valicia>

"Stasis? Look, whatever you may think of the Pathfinder Society, whatever wrongs they may have done you, we are not all the same, and if you have been,. . . away, you should know that much has changed. I am a member of a group called the Silver Crusade. We seek to help others where we can. My friends here, they serve a different crusade, one that seeks to put an end to slavery and tyranny above all else. He" motioning towards Darius, "is part of a "family" that simply seeks to gather allies to be financially stronger in the future. We seek to unearth knowledge and wisdom, not to burry it. If that is truly all you know, we will not harm you for more. But, you could have a place amongst us. You could find purpose."

"One of your sisters claimed that we had lied to you. That we had locked you in stasis. Others within the Society may have. I can not say. But Adril only freed you, if he did at all, so that you would be a barrier, to cover his tracks so he could go do something as bad as what was done to you, to another. The choice is yours. I have bought you back from the darkness. You may go your way in peace. Or, you could be a friend and an ally, or even a sister within the Society."

"Regardless of your choice, I shall heal both you and your friends much more than this. I simply wanted to make sure you had the time to ponder all of this on your own, and that we not be attacked for my efforts."

Does this count as freeing a slave for the Liberty's Edge Faction Card? :P

Ferocleus is DEAD. And when Valicia comes too (by Darius) she's out of her mind evil and mad. Sadly no, these are straight up bad guys, not slaves.

The woman known as Pyrecat seems to at least not want to harm you all now, but she's clearly not all of a sudden pure of heart. "Look, I'll stay out of your way. Just... promise to come back for me while I think about all of ...THIS..." she waves her arms. "I can't guarantee I'll be part of any family, but I won't stab you in the back. you have my word."

Ferocleus is DEAD.

Iggy: Well, I can not allow that to happen when it is within my power to return this poor soul to life.

Darius: Um, what. B*&^$ just tried to kill us!

Iggy: <longwinded speech> followed by the drawing of a Breath of Life scroll

Darius: Hey, what's that! Is that, . . . No, couldn't be. Is that an EVIL DOER right over there in that other room![/ooc]

Iggy: Drops scroll and rushes of.

Darius: She needs a head for that scroll to work, right. . .

And when Valicia comes too (by Darius) she's out of her mind evil and mad.

Oops!!! I slipped, and my scimitar just landed right in her eye socket . . . :P

"Look, I'll stay out of your way. Just... promise to come back for me while I think about all of ...THIS..." she waves her arms. "I can't guarantee I'll be part of any family, but I won't stab you in the back. you have my word."

"And you have mine."

Well played Ig.

True to her word, the woman backs into the corner and slides down to a fetal position....

The room before you and to the left has a strange rainbow-light in it. To the the right is a room hazy with fog.... you've got one prisoner, spitting mad and tied up. you've got another who had a mental breakdown.

"Woowzy...what to do....what to do...we cant just kill them now...right...?... no we cant do that... take them back...?... to whom...? " Roos mutters to himself after the battle...

The girl in the corner speaks up, but barely, "Put us back in the mirror." Her voice gets a touch stronger, "Put us back in the mirror. Ahead and to the right, beyond the magic bridge. It's where we should be anyway."

The woman in armor spits, "Asmodedeus's arse! Just bloody kill me you bastards. Man up and DO IT! I murdered an entire village, and I'll murder you the instant I'm free!"

Osric enters the room, marvelling at hs allies' ruthless efficiency.

"Then you'll die in Old Deadeyes' own time. You're not good enough for a quick death. As to murder us? You'd have to get up pretty early for that."

"OOOO she is a lively one... Roak I think this one likes you." Roos says to the big guy pointing to the violent lady.

Her vitriol is too animalistic to be intelligible at this point.

"You are not going back to the mirror, nor are we going to kill you> I gave my word I would speak on your behalf. You have already been punished for your past crimes, and clearly it was enough that you would never want to go back. I may regret this, but I'm trusting in you both to at least be open to the possibility of a new life. Away from this place. If you are here when we get back, I will help you. If not, one day you will seek me out. Perhaps to slay me. Perhaps when you are ready."

After that, I'll head in the direction that was indicated earlier that Adril went.

Left to the rainbow colored room. Will post shortly.

The women eye Ignatious. As to whether or not his trust has been misplaced, only time will tell...

Following the trail you find yourselves in an odd room. The floor of this chamber is inlaid with giant circular mosaic of the four primary elements divided into quarters that swirl counter-clockwise. A brass plaque encircles the mosaic, engraved with a passage that reads: “The shortest year has five seasons of fire.” In the northwest corner, a short passage leads to a door.
