GM Batpony Solstice Scar B [8-99B] Session 2 (Inactive)

Game Master Batpony

Knowledge:Arcana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Naruda moves forward with the party, continuing to wave her torch in the air as if she was trying to wipe the darkness away. She touches Wilen on the top of his head, granting him the warm glow of guidance.

"Oh, think you're clever, hey!?" Ayla calls out to the skeletons as she takes a (five foot) step forward. She stows her crossbow and pulls out a vial of acid. "We'll see how you like this, ya' big, bloody, dog-treats!"

Shiv grumbles about skeletons and their lack of pierceable organs as he puts away his bow and moves up, drawing his club along the way.

Unsure on the effectiveness of his arrows on the skeletal foes, Shiv forgoes his bow for his club, moving closer to the fray, as Makon hangs back to apply another magical oil to his axe, the blade starting to gleam with deadly potential under the various effects.

Wilen quickly activates and lobs a bob towards the shadowy circle, hoping to torch the nearest skeleton from a safe distance. Unfortunately, the creature proves harder to hit then expected, especially after taking cover behind the standing stones at the command of the one in the back. The halfling's bomb ends up going too high, and skips off the side of the menhir, to land on the ground on the rime-covered grass on the far side of its intended target!

Where it hits, flames burst out all around, splashing over the skeleton anyway, and managing to hit the next one over as well.

The nearer undead's mindless gaze never wavers, as it continues to stare at you even as its dry brittle bones ignite from the secondary blast. The second skeleton dances aside, as most of the flames spread harmlessly around its feet before snuffing out suddenly. Though the second only gets lightly singed, the heat proves more than a match for the necrotic energies holding the first together... it collapses to the ground before the flames finally flicker out, the strange bloody residue continuing to drip from its form, despite the blaze.

Naruda moves up quickly, once more lending some arcane guidance, this time to Wilen to help guide his next shot. Beside her, Ayla stows her crossbow, pulling out a small vial of acid in its stead.

Atronia left to go!
* Twinhorn Allies effect still in play

"Time for that song's finale, shall we? Down with the undead!" Atronia steps forward, not wanting to go too far ahead, and starts singing her song again, her voice loud and clear.

Inspired rage again! Go ahead and take the Strength bonus etc if you want! For anyone who might want to use it, here is how it works: With inspired rage, any ally can accept it. It gives +2 Strength and Constitution (morale bonus), +1 to will saves and -1 to AC. However, those affected by it can't cast spells or use most Cha, Dex or Int based skills. Makon, if you want, you can use the stats from your own rage while accepting my song. If you do, it doesn't use up your rounds of rage, but you don't have access to rage powers and such. Also, you will not be fatigued at the end of it. For the GM, my stats while raging are in parenthesis. It also gives me fast healing 2.

Hmm... looks like I read the wrong monster entry on the skeleton... it wasn't quite supposed to keel over there... oops!
S'alright! Easy fix!

Atronia picks up her epic tale once more, her words riling up those of her companions that care to listen... and perhaps her story of light vs darkness is a little closer to home than you'd like...

...even as you watch, the rift in the center of the circle appears to widen a little more, and you barely catch a glimpse of something dark and shadowy squeezing through it... It quickly flies off into the darkness in the opposite direction. Whatever it was, it was relatively small, but even as you watch, you see shapes, some resembling arms and other other less identifiable appendages, from much larger entities, reaching through, and tearing at the edges of the rift, as if trying to speed up its expansion to let them through.

Clouds of dark energy, like greasy black fog continue to pour through, and congeal into the long writhing tentacles that lash about the ring. One of them just brushes against the skeleton so recently singed by Wilen's bomb, and where it touches, the skeletons damage seems to repair itself, leaving no evidence at all that it was ever damaged at all. Worse, a second tendril snakes out and wraps itself around the downed skeleton, almost like some sick mockery of tenderness. Right before your eyes, the blood-covered bones rise up and pull back together, until it stands before you once more, its lifeless eyes turning in your direction jaw open in a soundless scream!

The skeleton in the back once again barks a command in its hissing unnatural voice, and without any further warning, all three of the others suddenly race out of the circle entirely, intent on the living foes before them. Dark shadowy mist seems to fall off them as they move, trailing behind them like shedding water.

The recently revived skeleton and the one still holding the rusted remnants of a sword, charge towards Atronia! She is barely able to deflect the bloody claws reaching for her eyes, and has no chance at all at fending off the rusty blade. Despite its poor condition, it proves more than capable of cutting flesh, as the skeleton carves a ragged wound along her leg, narrowly missing a major artery. (6 damage to Atronia).

The last skeleton pushes its way through the trees along the edge of the path, coming out right beside Willen, clawing at the halfling with its reddened claws, scoring a long gash along the halfling's neck before he can pull himself away. (5 damage to Wilen)

So quickly did they attack, that you fail to realize the last skeleton, the one with the spark of intelligence commanding the others, has disappeared from sight, having stepped backwards into the darkened area where Ayla's lights do not reach.

Party is up!
* Twinhorn Allies effect still in play

The orange skeleton has some cover from the trees.
The black one you can not see... well, until Makon gets closer, then he will be able to. It currently seems content to just delay you.

Ooops, meant to include this above, after describing the tendrils 'healing' the skeletons... But forgot! Will pop it in here:

You will realize now (if it was not already obvious) that there is some sort of negative energy effect going on inside the standing stones.

You will also be able to conclude that the application of the opposite energy type (ie: positive (for you guys, probably just cure spells and Shiv's lay on hands)) might be able to mitigate, if not suppress, some of those effects... though based on the shadowy energy pouring from the rift, it probably would not be for long.

***OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT***

@Table GMs: The “Portal Closed” condition on page 20 is in effect.

Wilen holds his neck and looks at the skeleton wide eyed. He keeps himself from panicking and takes a cautious step back away from the skeleton.

5' guarded step

Throw bomb at orange, vs touch AC, guidance: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13

Bomb FIRE damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Splash FIRE damage: 1 + 4 = 5

If it misses it lands...: 1d8 ⇒ 4 => behind orange next to red, both take splash damage, reflex DC 13 for half (2)

Wil, you can't 5' step that direction. All the tree squares are difficult terrain
(You'd have to go up between Narida and Atronia, to 5'... won't change much other then where the bomb lands on a miss)
Oh, and PBS doesn't apply to splash damage, fyi

Naruda pulls her wand of cure light wounds from her haramaki and steps towards Atronia to heal the cut she took from the skeleton.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

tired of waiting and preparing for battle...Makon lets Atronia's song bring his blood to a boil and lets loose a primitive howl, Argh! These creatures shall no longer defile these sacred lands...it is time for honor and Battle! Makon flies into a range and approaches the battle swinging his axe at the skeleton in the tree's (at the orange skeleton)(Makon saves the guidance effect). G axe: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 1 = 28dmg: 1d12 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 = 14

there shouldn't be a concealment effect as Makon has dark Vision but if there is GM please roll it thx

Wil, you can't 5' step that direction. All the tree squares are difficult terrain

(You'd have to go up between Narida and Atronia, to 5'... won't change much other then where the bomb lands on a miss)
Oh, and PBS doesn't apply to splash damage, fyi

Gah, you did say that about the trees, sorry. Luckily that doesn't change my 1d8 roll for placement if it's a miss.

Regarding splash damage...

Splash damage from an alchemist bomb is always equal to the bomb's minimum damage (so if the bomb would deal 2d6+4 points of fire damage on a direct hit, its splash damage would be 6 points of fire damage).

This doesn't seem to exclude any of the elements of a direct hit (which includes PBS). What am I missing?

See the following FAQ entry on this very topic.

Hmm. Good to know. I've been doing it wrong for a while then. Thanks!

Thanks EM! I have returned and will be able to take over from here :) Appreciate your help again!

Wow, another team has already managed to close the portal?
Thanks for the heal, Naruda. Just so you don't waste resource, I'll had that you don't have to heal me if I'm not wounded much, as I have fast healing, so if someone else needs it more, go ahead. :) Still quite useful and makes me feel safer in case something bigger happens, so thanks again.

Atronia keeps singing as she aims for the red skeleton with her greatsword.

greatsword attack, rage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
greatsword damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 6 = 12

Wilen's bomb creates a large shock and obliterates the orange and pink hued skeleton leaving nothing but bits of bones behind.

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

I've switched Makon's target to the remaining skeleton on the front line!

As Naruda helps Atronia to regain her breath through use of magic, Makon comes around swinging his great axe with great power to smash the last skeleton on the front lines.

Combat Round 2

Shiv -1

Combat Round 3

Wilen -7, Makon (guidance), Naruda
Atronia , Ayla
tendrils, black skeleton

Atronia can retcon her actions.

With no visible enemies for her to toss her sure-to-be-amazing acid at, she points deeper into the shadows. Her orbs of light fly inside, nearing the other skeleton.

Now, they don't work well in there, or they don't work at all in there? Can we see the skeleton from outside now, or no?

Ayla scampers forward to the edge of the shadowy barrier.

Free action to move around her dancing lights. Double move up to the barrier.

You will also be able to conclude that the application of the opposite energy type (ie: positive (for you guys, probably just cure spells and Shiv's lay on hands)) might be able to mitigate, if not suppress, some of those effects... though based on the shadowy energy pouring from the rift, it probably would not be for long.

So, she thinks that splashing around a cure light wounds POTION in front of her might make a path through? Or she thinks that tossing it like a splash weapon might work? How would she need to use a cure potion to make it helpful? If necessary, Ayla can use her esoteric scholar ability to make a knowledge (planes) check, or a knowledge (arcana) check on it, whichever is more helpful (they both have a +1 modifier).

Shiv runs up towards the last skeleton, and readies an action to peg his club at the skeleton if it gets within range.

Atronia walks gingerly into the darkness, her sword and magic giving her a small amount of light. She grips her sword tightly, expecting something to jump out of the darkness and towards her.

Move action + ready an attack with the dice rolled above if enemies come within 5' of me. Is there miss chance? I'll roll just in case.

miss chance for dim light, 20%, low fails: 1d100 ⇒ 3

Now, they don't work well in there, or they don't work at all in there? Can we see the skeleton from outside now, or no?

They don't work well, so instead of normal light, the portal still sucks out energy, meaning it is dimly lit now inside the circle.

You will also be able to conclude that the application of the opposite energy type (ie: positive (for you guys, probably just cure spells and Shiv's lay on hands)) might be able to mitigate, if not suppress, some of those effects... though based on the shadowy energy pouring from the rift, it probably would not be for long.

So, she thinks that splashing around a cure light wounds POTION in front of her might make a path through? Or she thinks that tossing it like a splash weapon might work? How would she need to use a cure potion to make it helpful? If necessary, Ayla can use her esoteric scholar ability to make a knowledge (planes) check, or a knowledge (arcana) check on it, whichever is more helpful (they both have a +1 modifier).

Unfortunately this is specific to spell effects that targets an area. Potions are consumables and don't work in the same way so it would not be able to suppress the negative space.

While majority of the group stays cautiously outside the fogged darkness, Atronia braves her way inside to face the enemy and the wrath of the darkness...

From the black tarry ground, tendrils emerge wrap around Ayla's legs, causing her to be held firm in place.

The tendrils are a passive effect of the portal, so you cannot "attack" it.
Tenrils grapple!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 Escaping the grapple is a CMD 17

Due to the strength of Pathfinders in the other portals, soon the one near you shrinks a little. The undead is momentarily stunned but then regains his composure. Taking the opportunity of a grounded Atronia, it runs in charging, and brandishing it's greatsword to a strong effect!

Will skeleton: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23From portal closed effect.

Charge,mwk longsword,portal closed, power attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 - 1 - 1 = 19S: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9

Not only is Ayla in a disadvantageous position, but from the closing portal, a wave of negative energy is unleashed, affecting everything within the darkness!

Negative Energy damage?: 1d6 ⇒ 2 DC10 Will for half

~~
Combat Round 3/4

Wilen -7, Makon (guidance), Naruda
Atronia -9 -? (grappled), Ayla
tendrils, black skeleton
Shiv -1

Makon hears the sounds of battle within the Darkness and heedlessly, makes his way into the bleakness, to search out his enemies. He senses as much sees the undead skeletal Lord as he approaches it and Atronia's position. Makon doesn't hesitate he raises his axe calling upon his destiny (destined strike) he also relies on the witches guidance to strike true great axe: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 17dmg: 1d12 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 1 = 10

Naruda moves into the darkness, continuing to hold her torch above her head. With her other hand, she casts cure light wounds through her wand, holding the charge inside her fist until an opportune time to use it.

Naruda sees that her allies are struggling against a shadowy figure in the darkness. "Is that you, Atronia? Makon? What is in the darkness with us?" she asks, trying to suppress the quaver of fear in her voice.

Will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

After stumbling in the dark with tentacles grasping at her legs and her blade going wide, Atronia stalwartly takes the hit and keeps singing to bolster her allies and herself. with renewed resolve, she attempts to hit the skeleton again.

Light is cast on my blade. From what I understand, it is only dim light because of the magical darkness so I still have 20% miss chance, is that it? If not, I had an attack readied for when the skeleton came close. Anyway, here are the dice for this round's attack, including possible miss chance. Sorry I'm a little confused.

greatsword attack, rage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
greatsword damage, rage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 6) + 7 = 16
miss chance. 20%, low misses: 1d100 ⇒ 46

It is dim light so miss chance applies to those without low light or darkvision! In that case Atronia is definitely subjected to miss chance and ready attack earlier would have missed.

Still feeling the gash at his neck, Wilen pulls out his healing extract and consumes it.

Consume extract of cure light wounds: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

He moves up next to Ayla to peer into the darkness.

"What is going on in there?"

Shiv darts around the edge of the darkness warily to get a clear line of fire on the skeleton. His clubs aren't the best for ranged combat, but they still fly better than most heavy objects and serve just fine for breaking bones that should no longer be moving...

attack roll: 1d20 + 4 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 - 4 - 1 = 8 Includes penalty for firing into melee and range increment
damage roll: 1d6 ⇒ 5

"Damn it... any chance we could draw that thing out of the sphere of darkness? This is hardly the best way to do battle with it..."

Atronia, unfortunately you would not be able to attack with the greatsword during your current turn as you have the grappled condition and cannot take any actions requiring two hands. You may retcon as required.

Makon jumps into the darkness behind Atronia to lend her a helping hand. As Makon swings his weapon, the skeleton deflects it with his own cackling sinisterly! "Hah. Hah. Hah."

The rest of the group still plays it cautiously around the outside of the fog of darkness and gloom. Shiv flings his club into the darkness but it doesn't reach anywhere near the skeleton, and falls slightly behind Makon.

Combat Round 4

Wilen -2, Makon , Naruda
Atronia -9 (grappled), Ayla
tendrils, black skeleton
Shiv -1

Oh, right, can I attempt to break the grapple? Still maintaining the song.

grapple check to reverse, rage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

You said the negative energy hit everything inside the shadows, right? So not Ayla? Or yes she got hit?

Ayla's lights adjust their positioning, swirling around the skeleton.

Seeing she has no clear shot on the undead with her companions so close, she circles around the enemy, drawing her rapier as she goes, and positions herself so she'll be flanking with Makon.

Sorry, I can't get the background on the map to load, so I'm not sure what's in the spaces and had to guess on my movement. She's using a double move to circle around the undead and flank with Makon, which she should be able to do without provoking. She also draws her rapier as she moves.

You said the negative energy hit everything inside the shadows, right? So not Ayla? Or yes she got hit?

Not Ayla last round

Left without options, the group attempts to surround the skeleton within the confines of the fog. Just as Atronia manages to pull herself free from the grasp of the shadowy tentacles, it strikes again! This time around, Atronia manages to avoid being caught, but the same can't be said for Makon and Naruda as the tendrils wraps itself tightly around them.

Grapple, Atronia: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Grapple, Makon: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Grapple, Naruda: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Grapple, Ayla: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

CMD 17 or equivalent to escape

Another pulse of negative energy envelops the fog, hitting everything in it's path!

Also Atronia, Makon, Naruda, and Ayla, are hit by negative energy.
Negative Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 6 Will DC10 Halves

"Yield...Die..." The skeletons mutters as he sidesteps and swings his longsword in a cleaving motion, starting with Makon! Fortunately for the half-orc, the tendrils causes him to tip over at the right moment that he avoids the blade.
5 ft and standard: attack.

Longsword, Cleave, Power Attack, portal closed: 1d20 + 7 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 - 2 - 1 = 6S: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6

Will save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Atronia does not let the dire situation bring her mood down. She keeps singing as she makes a motion similar to that of the skeleton, hoping she might catch him off-guard this time.

greatsword attack, rage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
greatsword damage, rage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 2) + 7 = 14
miss chance, 20%, low fails: 1d100 ⇒ 43

Wilen moves around behind Naruda and moves up next to her, trying to get focus on the skeleton under the dancing lights. When he pulls out his next bomb he configures it extensively before throwing it.

Per precise bombs, excluding the left-hand column of splash damage.

Throw bomb, vs touch AC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18 am I over-confident that this hits touch, or should I roll the d8?
Bomb fire damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Bomb splash fire damage, DC13 reflex for half: 1 + 3 = 4 if hits, does not apply, as ally squares were excluded

Wilen - Actually, you are subjected to a -4 penalty for throwing into melee, and the skeleton +4 AC for soft cover (Makon is in your way!) . So from where you are standing, it's a miss. If you're one square to the south you can avoid the soft cover, and only be subjected to a -4 penalty which would hit touch.

Makon howls it frustration as the tentacles wrap around him, You shall not bind me! he yells as he flexes his muscles in an attempt to break the grapple. (standard action break grapple)CMB: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Moved! thank you. I'm not sure how I forgot the melee penalty, I'm usually on that one.

Makon still requires to make a will save against the negative energy.

Atronia continues to struggle in the darkness, as it hinders he sights, the skeleton has the upper hand in sword to sword combat, deflecting everything she throws in it's way.

Makon, with all his strength, breaks free from the grasp of the tendrils for now while Wilen comes around the corner to throw a bomb in the direction of the skeleton. Sure enough, the bomb blast chips away some parts of the skeleton, but not enough to bring it down yet as it continues cackling at you lot with total contempt.

Combat Round 4/5

Atronia -10, Ayla -?

Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15 Taking half damage.

Ayla circles around the skeleton and stabs at it with her rapier.

Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 1
20% Miss Change: 1d100 ⇒ 21

But she misses.

If you guys want to take a step back after fighting it next turn, I can toss an acid at it without hurting anyone. Otherwise Ayla will start trying to aid someone else's attack rolls (just FYI).

I have fast healing 1 while raging...you have my permission to toss the acid.

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

"Aaghh, it's got my leg!"

Struggling against the shadowy tendrils grappling her, Naruda reaches out and grazes Atronia with fingers, unleashing the cure light wound she has stored in her hand.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Unfortunately, she can't move after this.

Makon Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

As Naruda releases her cure charge, the positive energy released seem s to have an affect on the fog. For a moment, the negative energy is suppressed.

However, the shadowy tentacles continue to wreck havoc, attempting to hold down every Pathfinder within the circle as the skeleton continues it's sword fight! This time, it delivers a powerful swing in Makon and Atronia's direction. Makon cushions the blow with his body, but takes a heavy wound as a result. Atronia manages to avoid the attack timely takes to Makon's heroic sacrifice.

Maintain Grapple, Naruda: 1d20 + 7 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 10 = 24

tendrils, black skeleton -9
Shiv -1

Again Wilen flips switches and plates on his bomb, holding it up and eyeing it's intended landing spot vs. where his teammates are standing.

Precise bombs: excluding squares for Makon (left), Atronia (upper-left), Ayla (right) if it lands directly on the skeleton.

"Ug, won't this thing just fall down into a pile of bones and be done?"

Throw bomb vs touch AC, into melee: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 7 - 4 = 13
Bomb FIRE damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Splash FIRE damage, DC13 reflex for half: 1 + 3 = 4

if it misses, lands...: 1d8 ⇒ 7 => diagonal lower-right from skeleton. Ayla would take splash damage if it messes.

Can't wait until he can get precise shot...

Shiv curses as he hears his allies getting pounded within the tentacles.

"So much for drawing that last bonehead out of the darkness."

Steeling himself, he takes a deep breath and trudges into the darkness with the others, his hand glowing with positive energy as he reaches out to touch the skeleton.

lay on hands touch attack roll: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Makon then Roars, why don't you fall you undead monstrosity! great axe: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 dmg: 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Seeing that the half orc warrior is beginning to falter, Naruda activates her wand and gives Makon another touch of healing.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Unfortunately, she is still being held in place by the shadowy tentacles, so she is only able to barely reach Makon with an outstretched hand.

I want to struggle against this shadowy monster, but as long as I can still reach my allies, I am better off healing them.

Despite really wanting to roar and curse at the skeleton, Atronia keeps singing as she swings her sword in a wide arc again.
