GM Bold Strider's Dragon's Demand - Flaxseed Lodge (Inactive)

Game Master rpblue

Cobb diligently and quietly follows Sarasha and Celes from not far behind, quiet as a whisper.

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

The group climbs the ladder on the other side of the tunnel after thorough investigation of its safety, but find that the stout wooden ladder is quite safe and untrapped.

As the group finished the 10' ascent they find a dusty chamber whose walls are painted with fading frescoes of monks engaged in acts of acrobatic prowess. At the room's eastern corner is an occupied high-backed stone chair.

On the stone chair sits a mummified figure clad in white robes, with a braid of black hair circling its neck like an adornment.

The mummified remains slowly lift a hand and usher you to come to closer.

Are any of you followers of Irori?

Sarasha looks wary and holds her ground.

Yeah...nope. I took the lead last time and got chewed up and spit out. I'm not going closer until I know more about this linen-wrapped monstrosity.

Not a follower of Irori.

Also not a follower of Irori.

Tessa curiously steps forward as she detects the mummified creature for any signs of magic. This is unlike anything I have seen before. Look at how easily it moves still.

Kn. Religion 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Oh my...an Irorian Mummy.... Jebediah muses as he approaches.

Naturally not a follower of Irori...

Sarasha draws her blade and begins unobtrusively making her way around the edge of the room toward the mummy's rear.

Me, follow Irori, that's funny lol

Not an Iroran either.

Assuming Jeb told us everything behind the spoiler:

Lukas takes a few steps closer, saying to the halfling, "And you say it's not evil? So it probably won't harm us, right?"

Religion DC23: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

"Hmmpph... strange. Looks like a mummy, but not like one I've ever seen... usually they'd be leaping at us while we flee in terror by now."

Ever cautious, Cobb stays at the ready until Jeb explains that their foe is usually not evil.

"Iroran eh? Maybe you should give it a hug, Celes?"

As Sarasha draws nearer, the mummy takes its time to stand, putting the group on the defensive against this unique undead.

As the embalmed man reaches his full height, he stands towering over most of you, if not all, and you hear a voice from behind the wrappings. "I, Kanjougas, know not your convictions. I must know whether you possess the aptitude to close the Dark Window." he whispers. "Prepare yourselves for combat. If you think you are not up to the task, then flee now. I will show no mercy." he shouts as he adopts a fighting stance.

Even embalmed, this man is monstrous and likely possesses ridiculous amounts of strength.

"We've no wish to fight you," Lukas says calmly. "Tell us of this Dark Window, perhaps we can help."

As he steps up to Kanjougas, he says, "I'm not trying to hurt you, just trying to protect my friends." He then lashes out with a foot sweep, hoping to bring down the embalmed man.

Move action to get close, standard to attempt trip.

Trip: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 I doubt that will do it, but if it does, I'll use Ki throw to put him in the square where I've put the yellow dot.

Team - if it's possible not to bunch up too much, even if we just leave an open space behind our front rank, I can use Ki throw to get him into a good spot for us to flank him.

Lukas steps up to the man and takes a sweeping strike at the mummy's leg, but he shin merely slams into the stout warrior's leg and the creature doesn't even budge.

"Your muscles are too weak to fell me." Kanjougas says resolutely. "Irori has given me life here to test all those who enter my chambers. You have chosen to fight instead of flee and now you will be tested." he whispers from behind the wrappings.

Sarasha glances around the room, noting the lack of exits aside from the trapdoor.

He's got a point, guys. Why not leave him to his dust and lock the trapdoor behind us?

She moves nearer the trapdoor and readies her rapier.

Stepping around to get a clearer shot Tessa fires off a frozen ray at the mummy as she pulls out the maximize rod.

Versatile Evocation to make scorching ray cold

Frozen ice flows freely from the rod as a known chill fills the chamber.

Cold Scorching Ray: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 = 20
Damage: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3, 6, 1) + 1 = 15 25 Damage

I don't run! Even though you don't bleed, I will kill you and make sure you don't get the hell back up!

Celes, rushes forward, flaming axe in hand. Her muscles bulge as she swings her axe, hoping to land a solid blow, while avoiding the reach of the creature if it posses limber limbs.

Wondering why you would not want to shoot fire at something that is wrapped in cloth?

Jebediah not strong like some of his companions does have other tricks up his sleeve and unleashes another gout of flame.

Burning haands DC 16 4d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 2) = 13

Wondering why you would not want to shoot fire at something that is wrapped in cloth?

More thematic reasons as Tessa is a frost mage dealing with majority frost spells. Trying not to change her up for metagaming reasons :). She is built completely around frost and cold spells.

As Jeb rushes forward and tries to bathe the mummy with flames from directly next to the creature, it lashes out quickly and strikes the halfling in the jaw, disrupting his ability to focus. Combat Reflexes.

Fist @ Jeb-17 AC: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Concentration Check to Keep Casting-DC 10+Damage+SL = 21: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 I believe that +9 is correct for Jeb.

The group, as a unit, rushes the mummified remains as Sarasha stays back and does considerable damage to the man, however he stands stalwart in the face of the creatures assembled before him. The flames from the axe seem to do a bit more damage to the creature than expected.

"It seems that you have strength..." he whispers. "But do you have resilience?" he asks as Celes' axe, Tessa' ray and Jeb's flames wash over him. "You with the axe. You will be my first target."

The creature seems to focus before his body seems to move preternaturally fast. His fists lash out at Celes with the first slamming directly into her sternum before ending the tussle with a punishing kick to her ribs.

Stunning Power Flurry @ Celes-15 AC: 1d20 + 17 - 3 ⇒ (9) + 17 - 3 = 23 Your AC is actually 15, not 19. Charge gives a -2, Rage gives a -2 and Reckless Abandon gives a -2.

Damage: 3d8 + 27 + 18 ⇒ (5, 6, 7) + 27 + 18 = 63

The impassive face seems appropriate the words that come next. "This seems correct for your impudence. Those who give into rage can inflict pain, but it is rare to find one that can handle it. Sadly, you are not rare."

5 foot step and CLW for Celes. 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Jebediah infuses Celes with healing inthe hopes it is not too late.

Jebidiah steps back out of reach of the mummified monk and sent a pulse of healing into the fallen barbarian halfling. Her eyes flutter open, but she is still laying on the ground with a broken sternum.

Celes, you get your actions back since Jeb acts before you and you aren't stunned.

Lukas kicks low at the strange mummy, attempting to bring him down, then punches at him!

Flurry with leg sweep (style strike for unchained monk). If first attack hits, I get a free trip attempt.

Free trip attempt:

If that trips him, I'll position him using Ki Throw right between Lukas and Celes. I also get an AoO if he falls prone, from Vicious Stomp.

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Unarmed Strike damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Lukas flails against Kanjougas, sending another kick at the undead's leg before following it up with a punch to the creature's side, but the resilient creature's body is unaffected by the two strikes. "This is disappointing. I assumed from your aggressive nature that you would be ready to strike me down, but you cannot even harm me." he comments.

Rod still in hand Tessa hurls more ice from its end at the mummy. Rime and ice cling to every inch of the area as the spell intensifies.

Use Rod to maximize and Metamagic Spell to add Rime to snowball.

Maximize Rime Snowball: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 = 15
Damage: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 6, 4, 5) + 1 = 20 25 damage

Entangled for 1 round

Sarasha surreptitiously gathers a handful of dust and moves in closer.

All right, I guess we're doing this.

Reaching the mummy, she feints briefly with her rapier, then blows the dust into his face when his gaze falls upon her.

Improved Dirty Trick: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 If successful, Blinded for 1 round

Aaaaand...never mind. That's not going to be successful, is it?

Celes, breathes a deep gulp of air into her lungs. She is in a very bad spot, and isn't stupid enough to stand up and let the mummy take a free shot. She knows one hit could kill her, but with the ease the enemy attacks, she supposes that fighting in a defensive stance would be pointless. She rages, possibly one last time and takes a mighty swing.

sane attack as before but without the charge and she takes a -4 for prone

fiery axe: 1d20 + 14 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 14 - 4 - 1 = 19
damage?: 1d8 + 1d6 + 15 ⇒ (5) + (6) + 15 = 26

Cobb is really good about posting, so I will give him a bit more time.

@Celes: Two things. First, you cannot rage while fatigued, which I believe you are from dropping out of rage earlier. Second, grabbing something (aka your axe) from the ground provokes, but I will overlook that since this is already a tough fight.

As Celes scrabbles for her axe, the undead monk merely watches as she leaves herself open for attack after attack. "Yes, grab your weapon." he says with a nod of the head before violently punching Tessa' Snowball out of the air.

Did not hit his Touch AC.

Sarasha moves up and tries to blow dust in the man's eyes, but the undead merely laughs as the powder envelops him, swiping away the cloud with two quick hand motions.

Auto-fail on a 1.

Celes finally grabs hold of her axe and brings it to bear, trying to chop into the monk's leg, but the long-dead abbot stomps down on the blade before she gets enough momentum, stopping her attack.

Did not hit his AC.

Busy Holiday weekend! Posting now.

Cobbs eyes widen in a mix of admiration and shock as he witnesses the strange mummy essentially taunting them and providing commentary for his outright control of the fight from the moment it broke out.

"Guys, he's talking a good game. Maybe we should give him some room."

Cobb studies his foe for a moment, trying to get a sense of his movements (move action to study), before calling upon Desna for additional firepower this fight (std to divine favor).

Cobb calls on the blessing of Desna as he feels his battle prowess increase and the monk's attention to the man is not missed. "Wise move, however the lawless Desna will not aid your attacks against me. Try to place one here." Kanjougas says calmly as he taps his forehead.

Turning to Sarasha, the man looks at her. "Tricks such as these are a waste of time. Hone your body more and you need not rely on such underhanded means. Remember this for your next life and watch as I reduce the strength of my punches to be more accurate, though it is hardly necessary with you." The man sends two quick side kicks into Sarasha's stomach.

Flurry @ Sarasha-18 AC: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24
Flurry @ Sarasha-18 AC: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35

Damage: 2d8 + 18 ⇒ (8, 7) + 18 = 33

"As for you, halfling. You have been deemed unworthy." he says as he leaps up and lands while thrusting his fist down into Celes' face as she looks up to him with anger in her eyes. "Please stay down."

Flurry @ Celes-20 AC | Prone/Fatigued: 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 4 = 30
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

In a moment, Sarasha's body collapses, though the group can see that her lungs are still working as her chest heaves, though you can tell she is unconscious and her wounds are openly bleeding, however the halfling's head jerked violently with the punch and a loud snap was heard. The group thinks this is the end of the road for the brave halfling.

Sarasha - Stabilization Check

Don't make a new character just yet, Celes! (Unless you want to, of course.)

How will me making a newPC affect chronicles? I always have new ideas I have always wanted to try, so either way is fine with me.

It will have no affect on receiving chronicles, but if you wish to stay with Celes, then I have an idea to keep her around if you wish. If you want to bring in a new PC, then that can be accommodated as well.

Sarasha fights for life.

Stabilize: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 1 - 4 = 9 Sooo close.

Jebediah cringes as the Mummy takes the life out of Celes. As it is either fight or flight the halfling remains brave in the face of death and hurls fire at his foe.

Tessa moves forward for a better angle and hurls another snowball at the mummy monk.

Her heart races in her chest as she sees two of her companions fall to its might.

bane: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

Cobb frowns as his second arrow goes wide and he begins to count the seconds until Sarasha joins Celes in the afterlife.

And to think, the dragon'd be tougher than this damned mummy...

Lukas swings fruitlessly at the implacable mummy, his fists and feet feeling like they're striking stone. After failing to hurt their for even slightly, Lukas takes a step back and says, "Gang, we need a different plan! I don't know what that plan is, but we're dropping like flies! "

Full attack, then 5-foot step west. Can't move token at the moment.

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
Unarmed Strike damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Unarmed Strike damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

I wonder if we'd be doing any better if we weren't rolling mostly 1's and 2's. Somehow I don't think so.

Cobbs fires off two arrows, but it seems the chapel to Irori has allowed the god to place luck into the pocket of his follower as the latter clatters off his bowstring.

As the first arrow flies through the air, Cobb thinks he has found his target but the arrow stops just short of piercing the creature's forehead and he realizes that one of the mummy's hands has picked the projectile from the air. With a crunch, the mummy snaps the arrow in half. "My apologies, archer. I should have clarified. You will need to place two right here before you are able to harm me." Deflect Arrows.

The mummified monk ignores Lukas' flailing as he bashes at the creature uselessly as Tessa's Snowball explodes in her hands, leaving a wet, cold residue on her robes.

"For you to continue is futile." the Iroran monk adds. "You cannot beat me as you are and you have no hope of closing the Dark Window."

The monk's fists stay quiet as he stands at attention. "You have six seconds to vacate this chapel. Leave your fallen friends. They will be given as an offering to Irori."

"Any action besides immediate flight from here will be taken as refusal and I will slaughter you to the man."

Let's talk tactics...our only tool in this fight seems to be Tessa. So as long as others can keep the mummy occupied and it doesn't go after her we can possibly make it. However I'm pretty sure we will suffer casualties...

Lukas steps closer to Kanjougas, standing over Sarasha's fallen form. Bracing himself for the worst, he calls out to the creature, "Go ahead, show me what you've got!"

5-foot step, go Total Defense (which gives a +6 to AC due to 3+ ranks in Acrobatics), AC is now 33. If I'm at low HP and he hits me, I'll use my Bracers of Lucky Armor to make him re-roll the attack.

Now somebody fry this guy!

As Cobb watches his two arrows fire off more at ceiling than mummy (and thus continues our streak of 1s and 2s... add two more 2s to it), he winces.

"See that? Them's warning shots. Hit that ceiling real good. See how it's crumblin' now like a Taldan ring-pastry?"

Squinting at his foe, he decides to add to his half-challenge.

"Besides? Ain't you good? Shouldn't ye just be beatin' us silly instead o' murdering us? Like training us to help make the world better n' all?"

(Mostly a taunt at why the monk's not using non-lethal... that's surely more than 6 seconds of chit-chat, but we can consider that dialog over multiple rounds if needed, since a lot of the early wordcount is mostly RP fluff.)

@GM, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I'm Disabled rather than Staggered.

Sarasha breaks through to consciousness with a gasp.

Oh, I do not feel well.

She staggers to her feet Move action, provokes AoO and raises her fists weakly.

Yeah, come on, tough guy. If you're gonna be evil and kill us instead of helping us, then start with me.

"Do you think your words will sway me?" the mummified monk asks. "I have been tasked with testing those who would destroy the Dark Window." he says as he brings down his fist on the woman trying to stand before him.

Punch to the Back of the Neck @ Sarasha-18 AC | Prone: 1d20 + 17 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 17 + 4 = 37
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

As the blow lands, Sarasha is interrupted as her neck breaks. Her soul departs her body as the latter crumples to the ground in a heap. "I offered you the chance to leave but you chose to attack and try to destroy me." he adds as Cobb fires off two useless arrows.

"I offer you reprieve from the test and the chance to cut your losses, but you again decide this would wound your pride so you continue to attack me." he states as Lukas takes a defensive stance.

"You would have destroyed me without a second thought and now you speak of mercy when you are losing." he says as he looks down at Lukas. "You call me evil because you picked a fight that you could not win and don't wish to see the consequences of your actions."

The mummy brings his palms together in front of himself as his body glows with a white-hot light. "Now let me show you my real power." he says proudly as he leaps at Lukas.

As the three punches impact on Lukas' guard, the mummy actually appears to be impressed. "Well you cannot fight, but you have certainly learned to defend yourself. Sadly, your technique has one flaw. Care to know what it is?"
