GM Baerlie's Year of the Shadow Lodge (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

Oleander tries to stay out of the way of the tendrils, knowing there is little she can do to help at the moment.

If a fort save is required, then...fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
If a fort save is required, then...fort wolfie: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

eng: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Reroll d20: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Goupil aids with is knowledge.

@Oleander: that depends on where you want to wait, outside the room or inside? Please adjust the position of the tokens on the map...

Goupil moves into the room to help with the mechanism while the tendrils snap around him.

and I think I forgot Kentel

Oleaner will wait outside the room, seeing little advantage in rushing through at the moment until the door at the other side is open.

"I am the real one! Fight those imposters!" Exclaim Goupil.

Ashka gives Goupil a puzzled, sidelong glance, but realizes that the bard's peculiar joke has stirred her to move into the room and face Charvion, in spite of the gout of white flame and the obvious damage to the room.

"Nowhere to hide in there," she says quietly, "let's surround him, Varuna." An idea occurs to her, however, and she ducks down behind Kent and moves into the room behind the towering figure, hoping to go unnoticed for a moment.

Will use Kent as cover while moving, which should allow me to use Stealth. I'll wait until he moves his token, maybe he can move mine to right behind him after he goes.

Stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32

"CHARVION!!!" Vlajoen races across the room wildly swinging his greatsword with all his strength!

Charge 60' and power attack Charvion.

Inspired Charging Power Attack with Mwk Greatsword (vs Flat-Footed): 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 1 + 2 = 18 for damage of : 2d6 + 14 ⇒ (5, 2) + 14 = 21

Three Fort saves first:

Fort Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Fort Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Fort Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Confused by all the copies of Charvion, Varuna watches as Valjoen rushes at one of them, and assumes that must be the real one. Knowing they need to put an end to this quick, he pulls out a small vial from a pocket on his sleave and chugs it down. He feels a rush of strength to his legs as if suddenly weighs nothing and could move like the wind. Varuna then draws his tiny rapier and storms headlong into the room.

Extract of Expeditious Retreat

"Go wolfie!" calls Oleander.

Wolfie charges forward.
charge: 1d20 + 3 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 - 2 = 5

The elf herself moves around the north wall to get a single good shot off
attack into melee: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 8 - 4 = 5
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

However she trips and the arrow barely misses her foot.

The priest pauses as his companions push open the large doors. Standing up by the machine with Ashka, he closes his eyes and asks his Lord to bless her mind with clarity.

Then tightly gripping his longsword he, turns and advances on the crazed bone-eater. Ashka tucks herself behind the tall armoured knight to hide herself from Charvion. With Arqueros's blessing, she is now faster than he is, weighed down by the magical steel suit which he wears.

--------------------

War Mind: You touch an ally and grant it a tactical advantage for 1 minute. At the start of its turn each round, it can select one of the following bonuses: +10 feet to base land speed, +1 dodge bonus to AC, +1 insight bonus on attack rolls, or a +1 luck bonus on saving throws. Each bonus selected lasts for 1 round.

That should give Ashka 30' of movement when you need it; or whatever bonus you want. I moved both tokens.

While Goupil shouts at his companions to strengthen their courage Kentel with Ashka directly behind him move closer to Chavrion. The knight asks for blessings from his Lord. Valjoen charges Charvion and cuts a deep wound into the sorcerer's belly. Varuna drinks a potion while the wolf charges into the room to bite Charvion, unsucessful. Also Olenader's arrow misses the target.

Charvion takes a step back and casts a spell. Suddenly the air around Wolfie and Valjoen is filled with sparkling glitter.
DC14 will save or be blinded (temporarly), Will save every round until you succeed

Charvion -21HP

glitter dust: 7R

With his extra speed, Varuna moves like a dark shadow blown by the wind. He quickly moves into place behind the sorcerer, hoping to trap him between his allies and himself. He lunges at Charvion with his rapier, and it pierces deep into his kidney.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 1 = 281d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9
Confirm: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 = 201d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9

"And you, laugh at your misery!" Pointing the Chavron "copy". hideous laughter will dc 16

-Posted with Wayfinder

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

"It will take more than a little glitter to save you, Charvion! My blade is still sharp and will cut you down, you piece of dragon dung!"

Having seen Charvion step back before the blindness took effect, Valjoen steps forward and wildly swings his greatsword.

Inspired Power Attack with Greatsword: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 1 = 17 for damage of : 2d6 + 14 ⇒ (2, 3) + 14 = 19
Total Concealment > 50 is a Hit: 1d100 ⇒ 48 Doh!

5' step forward, std action: power attack; move action: Demoralize

Intimidate: Demoralize: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24 Shaken for 1rd + 1rd/each 5 points I beat the DC.

Will (end of turn save vs. Glitterdust): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Ashka gives Kent a quick tap on his armored hip by way of thanks, for the cover as well as the extra speed. Blade high, she darts out from behind Arqueros' servant, past the cloud of glitter and strikes at Charvion!

Use War Mind for +10' move speed, move action to get close, standard to attack.

Curve Blade attack, Inspired: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 = 27 vs flat-footed AC
Curve Blade damage, sneak attack, inspired: 1d8 + 2d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + (3, 5) + 6 + 1 = 18

Curve Blade attack: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 1 = 22
Crit damage: 1d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 1 = 14

Varuna lands anoter strike at the sorcerer while Goupil tries to bewitch him. The man starts to laugh like crazy. Valjoen attacks Charvion once more, but misses due to the glitter in his eyes. Ashka finally lands the killing blow on the man who drops and stops to move.
Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Another Chavrion enters the battle and attacks.

Charvion

glitter dust: 6R

Valjoen roars with vengeful delight as Charvion falls dead, however, when the caster reappears not far away and once again threatens the Pathfinders, the Viking exclaims, "What trickery is this?!? Have at the fiend!"

Seeing their enemy drop, Kent relaxes and smiles. This motley collection of adventurers have done well for a handful of folk who walked to the arena together from the Grand Lodge. But no sooner has one 'Charvion' been dealt with, than another appears.

Gripping his blade tight again, he charges their new opponent. Fervour burns within him, and he releases it, swiftly casting a spell. Those who see him, note that his limbs are stronger, his muscles bulging in the chain undershirt of his armour.

Striking hard at this bone-eating magician, the priest cuts through his robes, spilling red blood over the floor.

Charging Inspired Bull's Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12

---------------------------

Use Fervor to cast Bull's Strength as a Swift Action

"Go gettim Wolfie!" calls out Oleander. Wolfie does just that, racing across the room.
charge: 1d20 + 3 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 2 - 2 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 - 2 = 2
free trip: 1d20 + 3 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 - 2 = 4

Oleander fires off a couple of shots at the latest wizard.
rapid shot into melee,FE: 1d20 + 8 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 8 - 2 - 4 = 3
rapid shot into melee,FE: 1d20 + 8 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 2 - 4 = 19
One of the arrows looks like it might get through the sorcerers defences.
damage,FE: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

"How many of you are there?"

"More than you can count!" Charvion answers.

Kentel charges the man while Oleander shoots an arrow. Even Wolfie bites a piece from the sorcerer's leg.

Charvion attacks Kentel with his claws. yes, this guy has claws instead of hands
Claw left: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Claw right: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Charvion -32HP

glitterdust 5R

Keeping her head low behind the wolf, Ashka slips closer to the new Charvion. She pops out behind Oleander's companion, positioning herself opposite Kent and slicing at their foe!

Use Stealth to avoid AoO and get Sneak Attack, move action (with +10' from War Mind) to get close, attack.

Stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22

Curve Blade attack, flank, inspired: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 17
Curve Blade damage, sneak attack, inspired: 1d8 + 2d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + (3, 3) + 6 + 1 = 17

Wolfie tries to get a bite of the action..
attack,inspire,FE: 1d20 + 3 - 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 - 2 + 1 + 2 = 8
damage,FE: 1d6 - 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) - 2 + 1 + 2 = 7

"I'll be counting your corpses.." she snarls back.

Oleander steps a little closer and lets off two more arrows.
attack, FE, inspire, into melee, rapidshot: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 2 + 1 - 4 - 2 = 15
attack, FE, inspire, into melee, rapidshot: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 2 + 1 - 4 - 2 = 9
damage?: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 7

Is inspire +1 or +2? I'm assuming +1 here, but if it is +2, add an extra +1 to everything!

The battle priest takes slides to his left opposite the wolf, leaving room for one of his other companions to join the melee flanking the necromancer with Ashka. He knows that he has stepped in front of the archer, but hopes she will forgive him......

Once more, he swings at the clawed creature before them. Kent is sure that Charvion has gone beyond being a man, and is perhaps possessed of one of the souls he has contacted with this cage. Or perhaps he has just partaken of too many old bones.

Inspired Flanking Bull's Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 16
Inspired Bull's Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 = 15

His swings is weak, probably too weak to penetrate their enemies defences, but you never know...

-----------------------

Typical! Minimum attack, maximum damage. Bardic Inspire Courage is +2 at 5th Level

GM - CODE WHITE

Ashka fells another copy of Charvion. giving Oleander, Wolfie and Kentel the chance to hit the new Charvion

You see a lot of copies already down, the remaining copies somehow look weaker.

Oleander fires two arrows at the new sorcerer
attack, rapid shot, FE, inspire: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 23
attack, rapid shot, FE, inspire: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 11
damage2: 1d8 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 12

Wolfie then charges Charvion!
attack, charge, inspire: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 13
damage: 1d6 + 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 - 2 + 1 = 4
trip?: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 13

Seeing the light fade from their foe's eyes before he can even strike it, he sees Ashka's face appear when this Charvion falls the ground dead. Hearing a new engagement behind him, he salutes her, before charging the third incarnation. Filled with righteous zeal, he calls upon his deity to guide his hand.

Swift Action: Sacred Weapon(+1)

Charging Inspired Bull's Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 34
Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16
Crit Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16

Guided by the hand of his Lord, his blade strikes deep into the creatures neck. Kent looks into Charvion's eyes as the light once more fades.
"Give it up Bone-eater. Evil does not pay."

-------------------

Whoa! 32 points of damage. All hail Arqueros!

Whoa! 32 points of damage.

Gotta confirm that crit, no? Or does Arqueros bless his followers with auto-confirming crits?

Goupil smiles.

"Ah! A real pathfinder like myself won't fall against copy!"

hideous laughter.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Aaaah. Good catch. I must have messed up the post when I was preparing it, and in my excitement of max damage twice, forgot to check I had confirmed. OK, here goes......

Confirming Charging Inspired Bull's Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 29

Wipes sweat from brow and grins inanely. thumbs up

Wipes sweat from brow and grins inanely. thumbs up

Huzzah! A mighty shot indeed!

I'm assuming he's down again, waiting on if another appears.

GM - CODE GREY

Oleander and Kentel drop another copy of Charvion but the fight is not over yet. There are still copies of Charvion existing.

Save vs. hidous laughter: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

If this is possible, I would like to strike the faction goal of having 4 rang at something.

oh, that was fast...
out of combat

As Charvion is sucked out of existance the Pathfinders in the room cheer.

Unfortunately for Charvion, his obsession with the Cage of Soul Echoes was his demise. Sucked through the device, Charvion is torn to a million pieces, his soul shattered and forever unrecoverable. Because of his foolish errand, however, the Pathfinder Society knows finally, unequivocally, that the Shadow Lodge is real and the entire Society is in danger.

"Typical human" mutters Oleander. "Doesn't stick around to face the consequences."
