Dungeon Master S's Fate of the Fiend (Inactive)

Game Master Chris Marsh

Wreck wades into the morlocks. These seem to be considerably tougher than the last time this team fought them. The first one hit survives (barely), but the second one succumbs to a massive swing. The shark takes a massive hit from the fighter. Ichor oozes onto Wreck's weapon REF: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28, and the fighter manages to pull his weapon free before it suffers damage. The beast roars in pain, turning it's attention to Wreck. Finally the half-orc suffers again from the poison DON DMG: 1d3 ⇒ 3.

The massive shark, nearly dead on its feet fights for its life by going after Wreck:
Bite: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (13) + 19 = 32 DMG: 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (4, 1) + 13 = 18
Claw 1: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29 DMG: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Claw 2: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35 DMG: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Three morlocks hoot and holler and try to gang up on Wreck:

Club 1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Bite 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Club 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Bite 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Club 3: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Bite 3: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

But those morlocks have no effect. Meanwhile a quartet of morlocks advance on Alan, hoping to stay close to the beast Morlock #1 here draws from Omrax

Club 1: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 2 = 18 MISS
Bite 1: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6 MISS
Club 2: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 2 = 29 Threat
Bite 2: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 = 12 MISS
Club 3: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 MISS
Bite 3: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 MISS
Club 4: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 MISS
Bite 4: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 MISS
Confirm: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 2 = 22 Regular DMG: 1d6 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (5) = 8

Here too the behemoth strikes at the target right in front of him.

Bite: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31 MISS
Claw 1: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22 MISS
Claw 2: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39 Threat
Confirm: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (11) + 19 = 30 DMG: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Omrax, Galdur, and Alan finish round 2!

Omrax will take an attack on Morlock #1 as it moves up within his reach.

Omrax +1 Holy Lance, PA: 1d20 + 13 - 3 ⇒ (15) + 13 - 3 = 25
for damage: 1d8 + 7 + 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 7 + (6, 6) + 9 = 30

Omrax will then stab at the shark, trying to finish it off before it bites Wreck again.

Omrax +1 Holy Lance, Smite, PA: 1d20 + 13 + 5 - 3 ⇒ (9) + 13 + 5 - 3 = 24
for 2xsmite damage: 1d8 + 7 + 16 + 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 16 + (2, 3) + 9 = 41

If the shark survives that hit, he will stab it again, otherwise the iterative on morlock #1

Omrax +1 Holy Lance, PA: 1d20 + 8 - 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 3 = 8
for damage: 1d8 + 7 + 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 7 + (6, 6) + 9 = 30

Omrax quickly dispatches the morlock on its way to Alan, and then with the power of his Smite, lays low the western shark.

Off in the distance, everyone sees a massive force of morlocks deftly crossing the refuse to get to the party. They seem to be led by a particularly strong and tall morlock.

Galdur and Alan!

37/124hp... ouch. This includes 5 con damage...

And Wreck is still suffering from poison...

Galdur's summoned companion steps to the other shark and begins hammering at it. The dwarf seeing the threat descending tries to finish off some of the morlocks.
acro: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15
slam: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 2 = 33, smash: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 1) + 7 = 14
slam: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 14 + 2 = 28, smash: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 2) + 7 = 14
hammer: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 11 + 2 = 21, thunk: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Galdur's companion slams into the hind quarters of the shark, dealing out plenty of damage (though not as much as expected.) The skin fights back causing DMG: 4d8 ⇒ (6, 1, 8, 5) = 20 back on the elemental.
Meanwhile the dwarf himself lays a good shot into the nearest morlock. Which morlock? You're close to a few, and could likely kill off the one Wreck hit.

Alan to finish round 3.

Nearest on Wreck, (I can see but not affect the map from my phone). Consider me due north of wreck, so I can threaten as many as possible when the failed acro catches up to me. :)

AoO in order they came, as always the second only happens if the first hits

1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 14 + 1 = 352d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 4) + 8 = 14

1d20 + 14 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 14 - 2 - 1 = 242d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 3) + 8 = 13
1d20 + 14 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 14 - 2 - 1 = 262d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 6) + 8 = 17
1d20 + 14 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 14 - 2 - 1 = 162d6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 6) + 8 = 18

EDIT: A bit confused, how much damage did I take?

Not sure if I missed round 3 action, so posting it here...

Omrax will move slowly (not even bothering with the roll) through the difficult terrain to position himself between the shark and Wreck.

"Sir Wreck, I have nothing to aid you from the poison, but if you finish those foul creatures, step closer and I will try to heal your wounds.

He then calls a second smite upon the other shark.

"Iomedae, guide my weapon to smite this vile beast of the underworld

Omrax +1 Holy Lance, Smite, PA: 1d20 + 13 + 5 - 3 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 5 - 3 = 31
for 2x smite, damage: 1d8 + 7 + 16 + 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 16 + (6, 1) + 9 = 46

Alan goes death blossom on the flurry of attacks that come his way. His first shot colapses the throat of a morlock. From there death continues to ensue. Only the last morlock remains up. When he turns his attention to the shark he makes a pair of solid hits, though the shark's injuries appear incongruously light. REF 1: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30 & REF 2: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17 but the brawler can't pull his second hit back fast enough and takes ACID DMG: 3d8 ⇒ (2, 2, 3) = 7.

Round 3 Update:

Wreck: Current
Enemy: On deck
Omrax the Bold: Pre-posted
Galdur XXI: TBD
Alan Baird a'Lorien: TBD

Wreck stumbles back, out of the area. The shark did quite the number on him.

I will post today, but if people can include a Sense Motive in a post it'll make things go faster. DC 15

Omrax observes the newcomers.

"We best make quick work here ."

SM : 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Sense Motives for everyone else.

1d20 ⇒ 18
1d20 ⇒ 19
1d20 ⇒ 17

Woah, good thing those were Sense Motive rolls and not attack rolls!

While Omrax is too busy to notice, the others catch that the 20 something morlocks coming are charging AGAINST the sharks. They're on your side!

Round 3 Update

Alan, it was a net of 20 damage you took.

FORT: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27 PASS. No damage this round.

The morlocks know there is no way they can fight you without the sharks, and they bolt (drawing an AoO from Alan and Galdur.)

The shark doesn't know any better and continues to go at Alan.

Bite: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35 DMG: 2d6 + 13 ⇒ (3, 6) + 13 = 22 FORT Save (unless you're immune to poison.)
Claw 1: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35 DMG: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Claw 2: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29 MISS

Omrax uses his lance to amazing effect. It opens a massive wound in the shark's side (and drawing its undivided attention...)

Alan adds his fists of fury doing some damage (though reduced.) Unfortunately they're not quite fast enough, and he takes 6d8 ⇒ (4, 3, 8, 3, 7, 1) = 26 damage in the process.

Galdur to finish Round 3

Wreck: Withdraw
Enemy: On deck
Omrax the Bold: Pre-posted
Galdur XXI: TBD
Alan Baird a'Lorien: TBD

Galdur swipes at the retreating creature, then steps in against the big guy. The elemental continues to smash at the shark.

to omerax but out of combat :P

-Posted with Wayfinder

So are we back to the top of the round with Wreck or are we out of combat at this point. If still in combat, omrax will continue attacking the shark. Otherwise, lay hands on wreck. I am getting on a plane in 4hrs for business trip this week, so i may have lmited posting.

Out of combat, but I'll need to calculate the back damage due to the shark's defense. There' plenty of prose, but it'll be a bit before I can get to it.

Omrax will try to heal Wreck and Alan, once each. He will offer his anti toxin to Wreck if the poison is still going.

"The Inheritor can help with some of the cuts and burns, but the poison is beyond my skill. " (gets poison mercy next level)

Hands +mercy : 4d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 6, 5) + (4) = 22 On wreck

Hands +mercy : 4d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 6, 5) + (2) = 23 On Alan

REF: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31
REF: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
REF: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

Alan pulls away with a mere DMG: 3d8 ⇒ (8, 2, 6) = 16 damage. Meanwhile the magic of Omrax's spell is unharmed. The pair bring down the mighty beast! Surely if you survive this mission the Pathfinder Society is going to want to hear a report on these creatures...

Meanwhile as Omrax tends to wounds and the others (feel free to do whatever you'd like)...

The force of morlocks approaches. A hulking morlock separates
himself from his kin. Speaking in a broken cadence, he stammers, “Surface dwellers, me friend. Much going on and time short. Follow me; I take you to Karn.” As he struggles with an unfamiliar language the large morlock emphasizes his point by shaking a familiar object: a wayfinder. With surprising speed he shuffles on all fours and begins to scamper off, after 10 feet, the morlock stops and swivels back pleading, “Hurries, hurries, hurries!”

"What more can we do for Wreck's condition?" Galdur asks. He offers a wand that will help the others heal. He tries to collect a sample of the unique creature's skin. Then he orders the elemental to follow the Morlock.

As they follow he asks, "What can you tell us of Karn and how he knew we were here?" As they continue he also asks what he can about the black obelisks.

Wreck doesn't take any additional damage from the poison.

SM: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 The morlocks don't seem to notice how messed up the party is. They just want you to follow.

FORT: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26.

Wreck doesn't take any additional damage from the poison, but he's still hurting pretty bad.

Omrax will take a look at the Wayfinder and back to the morlock.

"Lead on. "

You are led through a maze of collapsed buildings and toppled statuary. Bogipfen, the morlock who speaks Taldane shuffles through the broken city with ease, pausing periodically for you to catch up. "We can talk now.... Taaaalk as we waaaaaalk. You wonder things. You have questions, yeeeesssssss?"

As they follow the dwarf asks, "What can you tell us of Karn and how he knew we were here?"

"Bogipfen not know thiiiiissssss. Juuust do as told."

Wreck looks around confused
"So things are not bad like last things? Wreck no hurt them then? Wreck just want to make sure"
He looks at his companions, he did not want to cause trouble for them, even if these look like the ones that tried to kill them the first time he saw them

"Yes Wreck, these people seem to be friends of the man we seek. Perhaps our guide couls elaborate what distinguishes him from the other Morlocks we have encountered?" Galdur asks the question to the guide after introducing himself. "I am Galdur master ring smith and seeker of secrets and currently also of allies."

"“Me smart, me learn your words from your friend!” He shakes his necklace at you, "No choice. Trust or no trust— we need each other. If help me, give you shiny necklace. We different! We not like bad ones. You have good and bad people too, yes?"

After traveling for what seems like a mile or more over the shattered remains of Rachikan, you and Bogipfen arrive about 100 feet away from an intact, rectangular building that rises above the neighboring, ruined structures. It’s a three-story building, but now only its top-most level remains above ground.

Bogipfen motions for silence and quietly explains, “Cage is inside. Karn inside cage. Lots of bad people. Wings and blades. Bad people.”

"We are to help you free Karn? What is the shiny necklace for? Can you tell us more of this cage?"
I know we made our sense motive checks, but is there more to go on?

To his companions Galdur offers flight to Omrax or Wreck. "Wings, he says,". The elemental should still be around, but I'll spend a minute to call Shuler de if not. Keep an eye out for a golem master. The dwarf this his head in thought.

"Bogipfen? Are there any of the stone people, we call them golems, inside?"

No one gets any hunches of dishonestly from the morlock.

"Yes free my nice friend. She give me this necklace. Let's me speeeeeak your tongue. She's in bad sorts. No stone men. Not inside. Just women with wings."

Alan merely waits unable to find words for their new guide.

Omrax will let Galdur continue to talk with the Morlock.

"Let us prepare then. Sir Wreck, are you recovered? Women with wings sounds suspicious. We shall free Karn . "

Omrax will call a holy divine bond with his Long sword.

"Wreck still feel a bit sick, but Wreck can still fight!" he says with a grin.
"Things with wings? Wreck get bow then..."
He switches to his bow

If either Wreck or Omrax want to fly, Galdur will touch them with an emerald ring.

Ready when you are to enter.

Omrax will accept flight from Galdur

"Thank you, let us proceed then? ."

Just tell me how you guys are proceeding, and we'll go. I'll assume you're planning on a rescue via violence...

flying today so may not post until tonight. Omrax will join others in rescue assault.

Safe flight! I'm GMing at Total Con pretty much the whole weekend. Posting will be spotty starting tomorrow, but I'll do what I can. In the mean time I'll get this ball rolling so hopefully I can play the baddies' turn before I go.

No way there would be a surprise round. Let's say both parties are aware of each other just before the good guys bust in. Also I messed up, they're males with horns and wings, not female. The entrance is on the bottom left. We'll say that initiative determines who goes through the door first and that everyone is 10' from the entrance.

You spy a half dozen demons (Knowledge (The Planes) torturing some prisoners inside. Bogipfen nods that this is where you step in and they step out.
