She has not, but she's seen that they're actually Everburning-lit.

Taurus walks to the threshold of the next room and looks around.

The room with all of the letters that may or may not represent important things.

"I do not know Kulik, he looks Shaonti though. You know anything about him Taurus?"
She asks, while checking the two side hallways.
East, then West, if it matters.

Taurus has no knowledge skills. Would this be some sort of common knowledge check?


Male Bear Burglar 1

The only similarity of him and the Shoanti is the fact that you said "Shoanti are bald/shaved." Otherwise, he doesn't really resemble and other modern race.

EDIT: I saw no Thassilonian in the listings. Does anyone got Linguistics check (Trained only, obviously)?

That and the tats. Shoanti aren’t usually big on the binding of powerful outsiders.

You’re supposed to be looking for traps! There’s no time for friendly chatter.

Taurus shakes his head, ”He is no shoanti.”

Crack the whip! :(

Having searched the first room and two side hallways, Erin would then make her way to the interesting room with all the letters in it, then the two dead end hallways. She will stop when something inevitably bad happens.

"Oh, my mistake."
She says while examining different parts of the tower.

There’s no fun in Pathfinding!

”Does any of this mean anything to you?” Taurus asks with a gesture at the strange writing.

Ashur has been silently observing/following until now, trying to make sense of it. "I've never seen any of this before either."


Male Bear Burglar 1

In each of the little hallways;
Everburning lanterns placed regularly along these dustless halls illuminate a passage built entirely of dull iron bricks mortared together with lead. Like pictures tightly packed into a gallery hang dozens of broad, bronze panels embossed with scenes of fiendish animals, planar monstrosities, and titanic beasts, each creature with a short inscription engraved next to its image. Dampened roars, muted wails, and barely audible speech sporadically whisper through the halls, ruining the otherwise perfect silence.

Each floor contains approximately 100 panels distributed evenly throughout the hallways, and each panel stretches from floor to ceiling.

Who is going with whom during this?

Taurus will follow Erin down whichever hall she searches first.

Ashur will go down a different hallway. Yay for splitting up the party!

She comments while heading down the eastern hallway.

Mainly because burglar asked about it, and we're not that far away from each other are we? You can always come save me after I get into trouble.

Better question is, why not split the party? I mean, what could possibly go wrong?!?

KULIK will follow Ashur, since the Shoanti has Erin's back.


Male Bear Burglar 1

inits, feel free to double-check and see the awful rolls:
Ashur: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5+4 urban, +6 Underground
Erin: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Kulik: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Tarus: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Bads: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

As the duos move around side hallways, out of the corners between the floor and walls of Team Ashur shoot out gaunt, long-limbed quadrupeds! They have huge, soulless eyes and a toothy maw. The lean creature moves with a predatory grace.

---

  • They actively direct their gaze towards each of their targets and tear them apart a little, with a mere gaze!

    The ordering of fort saves is left and right, chronologically making sense. Saving against one dog gives makes you immune to that dog for 24 hours.
    Ashur Forts dc 18: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 141d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
    Kulik forts dc 18: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 111d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

    Ashur Damage: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 1, 4, 6) = 19
    Kulik: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 5, 6, 4, 5, 3, 2, 4, 4) = 41
    DR applies, functions as Magic and Slashing

    For Ashur and Kulik, immediately as they take their turns:
    Ashur, before he acts Fort and Damage!: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 175d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 5, 2) = 15
    Kulik, before he acts Fort and Damage!: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 161d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 115d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 2, 4, 4) = 195d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 6, 5, 3) = 24

    Is giving my Paizo shirt to Kulik an option? If so, he should reroll that first fort save.

    Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

    Either way:

    Taurus cocks his head at the screams and tears off west and south towards Kulik and Ashur.

    Assuming either of them mention the murder gaze, Taurus will shut his eyes when he turns the corner.


    Male Bear Burglar 1

    That is an option, though I will want some proof of shirt at your next convenience. Honor system for now, though.

    Kulik, replace all rolled damage in that post for you with 10d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 6, 1, 1, 5, 3, 2, 5, 1) = 29

    Erin draws her weapons and follows Taurus to the sound of the screams.

    There's a bunch of pictures of me seated at cons with it sitting in front of me on Facebook but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to copy a URL from Facebook on my phone. It'll have to wait until I'm at a PC.


    Male Bear Burglar 1

    Yeah, whenever; doesn't have to be immediate. Especially since I'm gonna get real busy really soon at work real soon. We'll keep rollin' once we see how well Ashur does at blending one of these.

    No worries, I have a reroll shirt, just not with me. I'll put up a pic tonight. That way, Taurus still has one in case he needs it.

    Kn: check on these bad boys?


    Male Bear Burglar 1

    Planes. Additionally, Kulik has actions, too. I suggest warning the the other two about Sword-o-vision and not engaging them in a staring contest. When you guys do post actions and get into gaze range, please feel free to roll them (and any percentiles related) yourselves.

    @ Kulik: No idea. Maybe Space Dogs? You do know that they hurt to look at, but that's more of an "experience" thing.

    As is customary, the dice roller continues to try to kill me. This time it had tremendous success.

    Do not look into eyesh!

    KULIK will delay until after Ashur has made like a Cuisinart.

    Activating Blender Mode.

    Ashur roars the creature's gaze rips chunks of flesh off him. He keeps his eyes open as he wants to see this creature as he tears it apart. He goes into a rage and does what he does best.

    1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34

    1d4 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20

    To update for Kulik relevence, all attacks hit and the beast still stands.

    I'd push forward story-wise and just Delay Kulik, but I'm not sure what he's doing line of sight-wise, and it's horribly relevant.

    Yeah, I wanted to wait until Ashur was done, then when he didn't drop the beastie I researched and realized the concentration check for dimensional hop was nigh impossible. And then work got in the way yesterday. Ah, well, brilliant tactical plan thwarted. LOL

    Free action to drop bow
    Swift to activate Bane
    Move action to draw greataxe
    Standard to attack
    attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
    damage: 1d12 + 7 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 7 + (5, 4) = 17


    Male Bear Burglar 1

    But what is your line-of-sight choice for purposes of the gaze attack? Guessing "looking right at them," since you didn't do any miss chance stuff?

    Yup, pretty much.


    Male Bear Burglar 1

  • Erin and Taurus move forward! Note that moving while blind (eyes closed) requires a dc 10 acrobatics, and the "how I am looking" decision is for the round. Acrobatic lols: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (18) - 4 = 14 You're apparently good, though!
    ---
  • Ashur shreds into a space dog! It still stands, though!
    ---
  • Kulik sinks an axe into the other, hypocritically looking right into its eyes!
    ---
  • The dog near Kulik (whom only Kulik has saved against) bites powerfully once!

    Bite, Vital Strike: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 174d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5, 3, 1) + 3 = 13

    He then teleports to his new location, near the running footsteps! From my read, Erin is Averting Gaze, Taurus is runnin' blind, and Kulik saved on this one, so Taurus and Kulik are good (for now) and Erin's got a 50% chance of needing to save. Fort DC is 18, and damage is 5d6, feel free to roll yourselves.

  • The dog near Ashur is still standing, though! He strikes powerfully as well!

    Bite, Vital Strike: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 234d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 6, 4, 6) + 3 = 20

    Party is up! MAP!

    He then cuts his losses and 5' steps back! He then is absorbed into the corner of the two walls, and is not seen at the moment!

    I forgot about the acrobatics thing. As Taurus's acrobatics is terrible he'll be averting his gaze instead this turn. Ready to attack if the critter gets within 5' step range.

    KULIK will end his Bane, then pick up his bow, grab the tiefling, and activate dimensional hop, ending up three squares directly right of Taurus with Ashur in the square to the right of the half-orc.

  • Erin closes her eyes defensively!
    ---
  • Taurus opens his eyes and hefts his weapon, but tries his best to not look at dog-eye-level!
    ---
  • Ashur delays!
    ---
  • Kulik magically moves the tiefling!
    ---
  • The remaining dog focuses his eyes towards Taurus, hoping to meet his gaze! Low is bad: 1d2 ⇒ 2 But fails! He then shifts to the opposite side!

    Everyone is up! MAP

    For everyone's benefit, Kulik already saved vs this dog thanks to giving Paizo money and Erin has her eyes closed. Taurus needs a 50% chance of needing to make a DC 18 fort or take 5d6 slashing damage. I think this is the one that Ashur hasn't saved against, but I'm not entirely sure. Feel free to prove me wrong; I've slept over 10 hours each day this week so far and I'm still tired and am likely wrong.

    No, KULIK growls.

    KULIK will take a move action to sheath (or whatever, LOL) his greataxe, activate judgment (sacred destruction +3) and second judgment (sacred healing 3), then five foot step to the square R of the statue and fire an arrow at the "space dog."
