GM BPC TK2's Excellent PFS Adventure

Game Master Black Powder Chocobo

Okay, caught up on life and health, so back to this!

The party waits for Artemus to satisfy his curiosity about the spherical room. After about 10 minutes of practice and experimentation, Artemus finishes his studies and the party continues on, heading towards the other closed door.

The clockwork door is locked, but Faeros feels like he can unlock it with a few minutes time.

After some time, Faeros hears a click and steps back, letting Nilfyr take point as usual.

With a nod, the door is opened.

Wide tables piled high with clockwork limbs, gears, and mounds of emerald crystal fragments line this large room. The north and south walls each hold a single door.

Nilfyr's eyes gaze upon a trio of what was once humans, but their heads are not of flesh but of green crystal, with a similar green crystal embedded in each person's robed chest. Further details are hard to tell as there are several images of each robed... thing standing in place. Instantly, the trio finishes an arcane incantation and several spells go off!

Artemus recognizes the spells as grease, glitterdust, and black tentacles.

The onslaught of spells.... only mildly annoys the party as they resist blinding and grabbing the party, although a layer of grease separates the group from the spellslinging foes.

The group looks mildly annoyed, but continue their magical assault, now focusing a dozen magic missiles at Nilfyr!

Blue magic missile: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 1) + 4 = 13
Red Magic missile: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 3) + 4 = 14
White magic missile: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2, 2, 3) + 4 = 14

Bloodied and pummeled by magical force, Nilfyr still stands, leaving the wizards to back up slightly.

Init Order (bold = up)

Nilfyr (41 damage)

Nilfyr vanishes from amidst the tentacles and appears - with Thunderstealer and Belcher (if desired) - on the other side of the grease-affected area. He smiles as his fauchard swings, attempting to bring the nearest of the casters down!

Move action: Dimensional Hop (2, 3, or 4 uses)
Standard action: Attack blue wizard
Attack (+2 Adamantine Fauchard (2H), Power Attack (Furious Focus)): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31
Damage (+2 Adamantine Fauchard (2H, Vital Strike), Power Attack): 2d10 + 11 + 9 ⇒ (9, 6) + 11 + 9 = 35

Swift action: Trip blue wizard (Felling Smash)
Trip (+2 Adamantine Fauchard (2H), Greater Trip, Gauntlets of the Skilled Maneuver (Trip), Ioun Stone (Thorny Brown)): 1d20 + 19 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 19 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 45

Art tries to better identify these castes before he Dimensional Slides out of the tentacles and past the grease.

Knowledge Arcana?: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (15) + 22 = 37

Unless he knows that these creatures are highly resistant to electricity he will cast Chain Lightning to catch them all, increasing the DC and spell penetration by 2.

Chain Lightning: 12d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 6, 3, 4, 2, 2, 1, 3, 5, 6) = 37 Reflex save DC 26 for half, DC 24 for secondary targets.

Note that now that Art is not flat footed he will try to identify spells being case and counterspell one each round as an immediate action.

Thunderstealer will join Nilfyr, change into an Ankylosaurus and ready to vital strike the first enemy wizard that dares to cast a spell.

Thunderstealer orders Belcher to airwalk above the white wizard and to attack if they attack.

"Surrender!"

Nilfyr MI check high good: 1d5 ⇒ 3
Nilfyr MI check 2: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Blue is it a 20 reflex?: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Red is it a 20 reflex?: 1d20 ⇒ 15
White is it a 20 reflex?: 1d20 ⇒ 20

One of the wizards manages to resist Artemus' electricity, but the other two are savagely electrocuted.

Nilfyr removes two of the images, making one less blurry.

Faeros steps into sight and fires a barrage of arrows at the enemies.

Arrow 1 @ Blue: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
MI check: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Arrow 2 @ Red: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
MI check: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Arrow 1 @ White: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
MI check: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Faeros' arrows finishes off two of the casters, leaving the white-robed one remaining. It turns its crystalline head, perhaps staring the party down, but on Thunderstealer's words, it kneels down in defeat.

Each wizard has a lesser metamagic rod, a headband of intellect +2 (Linguistics), tied around their necks, and a cloak of resistance +1. There are also 2 remaining scrolls of black tentacles.

"Who are you and what can you tell us of this place?" Thunderstealer asks the white-robed wizard.

Thunderstealer will take one of the headbands.

Lesser metamagic rod of ...?

Whoops, silence!

Thunderstealer asks his question, but the white robed wizard points to its crystalline head and its lack of a mouth now seems obvious out of the heat of battle. It then points to a nearby table laden with various arcane notes that are above Thunderstealer's knowledge... but he can surprisingly read the strange new language for Thunderstealer, it's Azlanti.

Artemus reviews the notes and finds various documents detailing using shards from the Emerald Spire core to retether souls back to their bodies, a unique and somewhat horrific form of resurrection.

Arcane resurrection?

Hey guys,

So hopefully everyone is holding up with the craziness in the world right now.

First, I must apologize for taking a month to get the will to post here. Although I am physically ok as can be, my mental health has taken a toll but I think I have adjusted enough to get back to doing things again. Including this game.

Second, since I haven't heard from you guys in a while, just want to do a roll call in case anyone gave up on the game (understandable) or may not be in good health or situation.

So reply back when you can, but I will post again tomorrow afternoon.

Cheers,
GM Dave

Hey guys,

I’m here and doing well!

Here and doing well. New house and work is keeping me busy and not thinking a lot about what is going on outside my little world.

Ditto - things are definitely weird, but we're getting by without too much trouble. I'm regularly missing those 6 or more hours a day my 4 kids were out of the house, though.

Good to hear you guys are doing alright and that everyone has passed their Fort saves!

@Artemus: It is kind of an arcane resurrection; it does not involve any divine magic, but because the Spire core is such a strange and nearly alien material, it is hard to say what effect that has on the process. In either case, the fact that Nhur Athemon was able to use it to reconnect souls to dead bodies is a miracle of research in itself if you disregard the unnaturalness of it.

Any preparations or gathering of knowledge/materials before kicking down the next door? Updating tomorrow evening regardless

No real preparations, etc., from Nilfyr...

Nilfyr readies himself to proceed through the next door, confirming with the others that they are ready before proceeding.

Well, we'll heal up Nilfyr ofc (using WoCLW), but otherwise no prep needed.

CLW: 11d8 + 11 ⇒ (2, 5, 2, 1, 2, 4, 1, 2, 1, 8, 4) + 11 = 43

Art speculates This process can raise the dead, but at what cost I do not know. Perhaps it turns the raised into these crystal creatures?

Sorry it took so long, the prep for this next room took longer than I thought and RL stuff came up to get my store ready for reopening

The party prepares itself then goes through the next door.

More than a dozen door-sized, green crystal mirrors line the walls of this huge chamber. A balcony looms over the eastern extent of the room, with double doors on the east wall below it.

The Emerald Spire passes through the center of the room, though the spire here has been carved into an elaborate clockwork throne marked with ancient Azlanti symbols. The throne sits at the center of an intricate crystal mechanism situated between massive gears at the floor and ceiling. Sitting in the throne is an emaciated, obviously undead figure, one you have seen much of through this floor on various statues. "Ah, it seems the first of my subjects have arrived to do me homage. Be welcome, heroes! You are here just in time to stand witness to my finest hour.", greets Nhur Athemon from his throne.

Map updated

"Yes, please tell us your evil plan."

"Ha ha ha! Evil you say? You sound like the nobles who rejected my supporters as an artificial aristocracy when I last claimed the throne of Azlant. They considered my works simply clockworks and simulacra devoid of true life. However, I have conquered both death and undeath, and my new nobles shall rise not as mockeries, but as men and women granted true life by my arts!"

With an imperious gesture, Nhur Athemon cackles as humanlike forms made of green crystal emerge from eight of the mirrors on the ground each wielding a pair of swords. Another three more armed with bows step out from the mirrors in a balcony in the back of the chamber.

"Now, will you step in and bow before the new emperor of Azlant?"

"Now, will you step in and bow before the new emperor of Azlant?"

"Azlant? Azlant has been gone for thousands of years. Only ruins remain. I guess you are one of those ruins."

"I am aware that Azlant has fallen, but under MY rule, a new Azlant shall rise and live forever! But for you heroes who have wandered through my domain over the past month and performed your attempts at your so-called heroics, your deaths shall mark the beginning of my conquests of this land!"

For the sake of dice and turns, I am combining the warriors in groups of two by color, but with either solid or dashed borders to differentiate. For HP purposes, I will mark HP as solid/dash. The archers will be individual

Map updated, lots of baddies!

Also, if someone would bot Faeros if we can't get a hold of him, would be appreciated!

Waited long enough. Botting Faeros

Faeros, seeing the number of warriors coming out to engage the party decides to thin their ranks to offer Thunderstealer and Nilfyr safe access to the undead mastermind.

Swift action target Red solid

Faeros Studied RS DA PBS arrow @ Red solid: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 15 + 1 + 3 = 31
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 5 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 3d6 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 6 + 3 + 1 + (4, 2, 3) = 30
Faeros Studied RS DA PBS arrow @ Red solid: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 1 + 3 = 21

Damage on hit: 1d8 + 5 + 6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 6 + 3 + 1 = 20

A trio of arrows are aimed at the center of the warrior, although the crystalline exterior seemed to deflect some of the force from the initial arrow. It still stands although numerous cracks are visible throughout the unarmored form.

With Thunderstealer at the front, a trio of warriors block his entrance into the room and swing with their blades, one of them swinging twice.

Blue solid warrior sword @ Thunderstealer: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 2 - 2 = 19
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10

Blue dashed warrior sword @ Thunderstealer: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 2 = 19
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10
Yellow solid warrior sword @ Thunderstealer: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 2 - 2 = 21
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6

However, the unnaturally hardened skin of the druid protects the soft squishy bits from harm!

More warriors move in to prepare to engage as well as the archers beginning to get into a firing position.

Nhur Athemon laughs between spellcasting and now a green fog comes out at Thunderstealer's feet, its sickening scent showing signs of something worse from the fog.

Artemus Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 Fort damage on failure: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Faeros Fort: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 11 + 2 = 25 Fort damage on failure: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Nilfyr Fort: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 12 + 2 = 25 Fort damage on failure: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Thunderstealer Fort: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 16 + 2 = 34 Fort damage on failure: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Belcher Fort: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 = 13 Fort damage on failure: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Belcher coughs a little, but the party, battle hardened through their trials in the spire, resist the ill magic.

Oh! Totally missed the monday post! Will post in the next 3 hours! Btw, we’ve got lifebubble up, so the cloudkill can’t harm us!

Thunderstealer and Belcher delay.

Ahh missed the Cloudkill buff! Thanks for the reminder!

Nilfyr, realizing that he wasn't going to do much good out here, and hoping to give Thunderstealer a chance to turn himself into a giant hulking lizard, touches the druid and bamfs them into the room, at which point he does what he can to bring down the nearest of the warriors.

Move action: Dimensional Hop (3 uses, transporting himself and Thunderstealer 40')
Standard action: Attack black/dashed warrior (vital strike)
Attack (+2 Adamantine Fauchard (2H), Power Attack (Furious Focus)): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35
Damage (+2 Adamantine Fauchard (2H, Vital Strike), Power Attack): 2d10 + 11 + 9 ⇒ (9, 1) + 11 + 9 = 30

Critical Confirm (+2 Adamantine Fauchard (2H), Power Attack (Furious Focus)): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (11) + 19 = 30
Critical Damage (+2 Adamantine Fauchard (2H), Power Attack): 1d10 + 11 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 11 + 9 = 21

Swift action: Trip black/dashed warrior (Felling Smash)
Trip (+2 Adamantine Fauchard (2H), Greater Trip, Gauntlets of the Skilled Maneuver (Trip), Ioun Stone (Thorny Brown)): 1d20 + 19 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 19 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 33

Thunderstealer will change into a celestial Ankylosaurus and Vital Strike

To Hit: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34 for Damage: 8d6 + 28 ⇒ (6, 3, 2, 5, 5, 3, 6, 2) + 28 = 60

If that finishes the black/dashed warrior, Thunderstealer will 5 foot to the SE.

Art needs to make a knowledge check on the green warriors as part of his turn. Arcana? Mostly want to know about resistances and immunities and then DR.

Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 35 -4 if Planes, Dungeoneering or religion.

Knowledge Religion on dead king guy: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33 Is this guy a litch? And now that Art is not flat footed be aware he can counterspell...

@Nilfyr: Not to burst your bubble, the cloudkill will obscure your sight into the room so no hopping there. The life bubble makes you immune to the poison, but doesn't allow sight through. Now if you delay after Art and he finds a way to get rid of that pesky green fog then you're in the clear!

@Art: They are treated as constructs, bearing all of those immunities. Also, you surmise that bludgeoning weapons will be needed to thoroughly damage the crystalline exterior. Give the power of Nhur Athemon's magic, you wouldn't put it past you that there is some modicum of magical resistance built into his warriors, too.

And Nhur Athemon sure sounds like a lich. Will we have an arcane-off?

Waiting to see if Art does something to save the day, otherwise I will need alternate actions for Nilfyr and Thunderstealer

If the power works like Dim Door then I do not believe you do need line of sight. You transfer yourself to any other spot within range and always arrive exactly at the spot desired. You can visualize the area or simply stat direction and distance. I know what I want to do but need to wait again to see if Nilfyr's spell does go off.

In this particular case, the power has the following description (emphasis mine):

At 10th level, you can teleport up to 20 feet as a move action. You can increase this distance by expending another use of your blessing—each use spent grants an additional 20 feet. You must have line of sight to your destination. This teleportation doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity. You can bring other willing creatures with you, but each such creature requires expending one additional use of your blessing, regardless of the distance traveled. (For example, transporting yourself 40 feet costs 2 uses of your blessing, and transporting an additional creature this distance costs 1 more use.)

Given that, I expect the GM's ruling stands

If Artemus can summon some Branali Azata to gust of wind the cloud away, we can do our actions :-P

Yeah, Nilfyr highlighted the key spot. Only remember this as I did something similar in a high level mission involving a runelord against a somewhat similarly built warpriest :P But the ability cannot be used until the cloud is dealt with.

But Thunderstealer does offer a fair suggestion. :)

But I wanted to cast Chain Lightning. :(

Art will summon some Branali Azata to gust of wind the cloud away and then back up.

Don't worry, there will be plenty of things to lightning soon enough!

Nilfyr and Thunderstealer nod at each other with a battle plan in mind, knowing the group's intellectual will have devised a plan to remove the offending poison cloud. Seconds later, a holy being is called forth and uses their magic to clear the gas.

Nilfyr moves the duo in, then rips into the crowd of warriors. Nilfyr knocks into one so hard that it practically falls to the ground on its own, although looking to fight. Unfortunately, that is its last thought as the giant club tail of a now transformed Thunderstealer ends its existence. Moving Thunderstealer into the desired location.

Giving Faeros til tomorrow morning, then botting and continuing.

number?: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Actually 2 of the Azata show up. One clears the cloud while theother readies an arrow to disrupt the litch's casting.

And sorry for the lack of update: had to do a lot of last minute work the past few days to get my store ready for reopening

Posting update tomorrow morning after a long week of deep cleaning and setup

Faeros keeps the heat off of Artemus, pelting the incoming warriors with arrows!

Faeros Studied RS DA PBS arrow @ blue dashed: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 15 + 1 + 3 = 20
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 5 + 6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 6 + 3 + 1 = 20
Faeros Studied RS DA PBS arrow @ blue dashed: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 15 + 1 + 3 = 38
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 5 + 6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 6 + 3 + 1 = 19
Faeros Studied RS DA PBS arrow @ blue dashed: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 1 + 3 = 19
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 5 + 6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 6 + 3 + 1 = 23

An oddly flustered Faeros only lands a single arrow against the foe, knowing he'll have to call upon greater powers soon to stave off the horde.

The warriors begin to pile into the adventurers, assaulting Faeros and Artemus with their blades!

Blue solid warrior blade @ Artemus: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 = 18
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6
Blue dashed warrior blade @ Faeros: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 2 = 22
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6

Faeros narrowly dodges his strike, while the other warrior manages to land a blow against Artemus!

One warrior approaches Thunderstealer, who gives it a mighty whack!

Thunder AoO: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39
Damage on hit: 4d6 + 28 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 4) + 28 = 41
Crit confirm: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22
Extra damage on crit: 4d6 + 28 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 4) + 28 = 40

At the same time another warrior comes up, Nilfyr sending it crashing to the ground with his polearm! Thunderstealer doesn't have Combat reflexes so only 1 AoO for him, so I'll have you use yours to strike if possible. He tries to smash it as well, but he is thrown off as Thunderstealer's responsive strike utterly destroys his incoming foe, sending crystalline shards everywhere.

The black toned warrior moves to Nilfyr who introduces him to the floor with a flourish of his weapon. Both of the tripped warriors return to their feet.

The archers along the side pepper the ankylosaur with arrows!

Blue archer arrow @ Thunderstealer: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 2 = 16
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Blue red arrow @ Thunderstealer: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 2 = 20
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Both projectiles harmlessly bounce off Thunderstealer's thick hide.

The lich continues to cackle. "You amuse me with your antics. You might even be worthy adversaries!"

He works more arcane magic which precludes a barrier of ice separating Thunderstealer and Nilfyr from the rest of the party!

Nilfyr Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Nilfyr tries to use his weapon to leave an opening in the wall before it finishes forming, but fails to stop it before it reaches the ceiling.

"Wouldn't you prefer to not play with my toys and rather deal with me?", the undead Azlanti cackles.

The fact that I only have 1 AoO is that I would usually save it for the Boss and not a mere minion :-P

Thunderstealer readies to disrupt Nhur Athemon's next spell (with a Vital Strike).

[ooc[ You forgot the second Azata who had readied a shot to disrupt any spell casting. Shall I roll for that or do you want to?[/ooc]

Art tries to counterspell the wall being cast. First he needs to identify the spell.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (13) + 27 = 40

If that succeeds, and it should he uses an arcane point to do a dispel check.

Dispel check: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

If he is succesful his Counterdrain ability restores an arcane point back to his pool

I was reading the rules, and it looks like Artemus would've had to ready an action to counterspell the lich; since he was summoning at the time, I'm guessing that's a no-go, sorry. However, the Azata's arrow might do the trick (he said hopefully?).

If I'm reading correctly, Nilfyr still had an AoO available to smash one of the warriors that was tripped. If that's the case...
AoO (+2 Adamantine Fauchard (2H), Power Attack): 1d20 + 19 - 3 ⇒ (6) + 19 - 3 = 22 It's prone, but meh...
Damage (+2 Adamantine Fauchard (2H), Power Attack): 1d10 + 11 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 11 + 9 = 28 Just in case...

"I don't think you'll appreciate that..." Nilfyr quickly prays for Desna's favor, then casts another spell, at which point all sound ceases around the lich.

Swift action: Cast divine favor on himself (+3 to hit/damage)
Standard action: Cast silence (blue circle)

Did you read up on Arcanists? Art has the Counterspell Arcane Exploit. Immediate Action to counter - uses his swift next round but no need to ready.

No, I didn't, but sweeeet :-)

Just note that depending on the spell, you may have to be in the room with the lich to be able to dispel it, but since you can see the wall, you are good. Don't forget that it will eat up a level 5 spell slot, but you still have plenty of slots.

The azata tries to fire an arrow at the lich... but an invisible barrier blocks the arrow as it would cross the gear base of the throne!

The ice wall that forms is immediately disrupted by Artemus' quick thinking, causing the lich's cackle to turn into a bemused chuckle. "So you wish to make this a duel of magics, you inferior excuse for a wizard?"

@Nilfyr: I used up all of your AoOs previously, but since one of your attack rolls was a Nat 1, you only tripped 2 of the incoming foes. But if you wish to preroll some more again, go for it!

Nilfyr casts a spell to silence the lich's taunts, but a pale sphere becomes semi-opaque when the silence aura would envelop him. "Oh, you think I wouldn't have something prepared for such a feeble attempt while you were waiting outside my door, foolish elf?"

@Thunderstealer: Because you will see that the azata's arrow failed to approach Nhur Athemon before your turn, you can change your action.

Also forgot to note the minor damage to Artemus. And can you put the azata's on the map? They may attract some attention/heat off of you Art!

Ok. I have added tokens for the Branali Azata to the map. Here are their stats. Note since at least one needed to threaten the lich I have them in the room with the lich. Is that good?

Seeing the lich protected from arrows, both Bralani cast mirror Image on themselves, put up their bows, their scimitars and step to threaten the minions.

MI 1: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

MI 2: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

As a move action Art Dimensionally steps away from the threat and casts a heightened +2 to DC of saves Chain Lightning striking all the warriors and possible arcing to the lich.

Chain Lightning: 12d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 6, 3, 6, 4, 2, 2, 5, 4, 6, 3) = 46 DC26 Reflex for primary target and 24 for the rest. Primary is dotted line yellow

Actually it is better than that; everyone can take max damage potentially, but secondary targets get a +2 bonus on the save

Lightning courses through the horde of green warriors, causing one to explode, but others still remain standing. The bolt is aimed at the lich, but the same invisible barrier that blocked the arrows stops the bolt in its track. "Truly, it is a shame that I will have to snuff your potential. But perhaps I shall reign you in rebirth as I have Lady Estrekan.", Nhur taunts.

Giving Thunder and Faeros til tomorrow morning, then botting and continuing.

Two points - 1 the DC was 26 for primary and 24 for secondary. Damage was 46 or 23. I was never saying secondary damage was 24. And 2) Chain Lightning is a 6th level spell and not normally blocked by Globe of Invulnerability.

First part, trying to GM while exhausted never great, my bad for misundersetanding that part. But for part 2, you are correct, but the spell was still stopped.

Faeros pelts the now softened warriors with another barrage of arrows.

Faeros DA Studied RS arrow @ Blue Dashed: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 1 + 3 = 21
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 5 + 6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 6 + 3 + 1 = 18
Faeros DA Studied RS arrow @ Blue Solid: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 15 + 1 = 27
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 5 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 6 + 1 = 13
Faeros DA Studied RS arrow @ Blue Dashed: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 1 = 19
Damage on hit: 1d8 + 5 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 6 + 1 = 15

One of the warriors shatters, while another is further wounded.

Nilfyr yells out at Artemus that it appears a barrier of force seems to be surrounding the throne.

Thunderstealer continues to prepare to strike the lich.

Following up on enemy actions after work tonight. So many things in life and on this map!
