GM Endless Forms' PFS 01-35 Voice in the Void (1-7) (Inactive)

Game Master Mike Tuholski

"Please Imrizade, I would really prefer to not kill you!" Nari pleads.

Unsure of what is happening to Imrizade, Nari moves up into range and casts Daze on her, hoping to stall her until they can maybe find a solution.

Move into range. Cast daze (DC 14 - Will save negates)

Omorose moves forward unsure how she can help, but anxious to try something.

Double move.

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Phyton closes in while Nari casts a spell, afraid to harm the Blakros girl. Omorose moves closer as well.

Initiative:

1. Nari
3. Jaysin, Random, Manzcar, Omorose
4. Imrizade
5. Phyton

Im: 4 dmg, dazed

Jaysin, Random, and Manzcar are up!

Oh well, here goes nothing...

Random tries cutting through the tendrils connecting Imrizade to the cannister. "If this doesn't work, try shooting the cannister!"

Attack?: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
Damage?: 1d8 + 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 = 7

Realizing that shooting the woman might be a bad idea, Jaysin will listen to Random's idea and fire two arrows at the cannister.

Bow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Arrow: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Bow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Arrow: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Random swings but misses the tendril. Jaysin fires two arrows and hits the cannister easily enough but his arrows don't seem to have hit hard enough to do any damage to the metallic object.

Initiative:

1. Nari
3. Jaysin, Random, Manzcar, Omorose
4. Imrizade
5. Phyton

Im: 4 dmg, dazed

Manzcar is up! But seeing as she's dazed the rest of you may post actions for next round to move things along if you'd like.

Phyton touches his weapon, imbuing it with goodly power, then moves closer to the fray!

The damn cannister is tough! Somebody try to sever the cords from that woman and I'll keep trying to puncture that can! Jaysin will move in closer in order to get a better angle on the cannister he has been asked to destroy.

Bow 1: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 1 = 21
Arrow 1: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Bow 2: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 = 17
Arrow 2: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Does the cannister have a DR that I can determine after firing four arrows at it?

Nari casts a menacing glare are Imrizade "We will try and find a way to save you. Those tendrils are just nasty. No one should ever ever have to deal with that." thinking about what she just said Nari falls into a fit of uncontrollable giggling. The volume of the laughing increases until the fit of giggles can be heard all across the room.

Standard Action - Cast Evil Eye (-2 to Attack) (DC 15-fail:7 rounds, pass:1 round). Move Action - Cackle (extend duration of Evil eye by 1 round)

Maybe hardness? Which is usually a lot higher than DR.

Omorose moves up and attempts to tear one of the gross umbilical things from Imrizade, but her efforts are feeble.

Str Check?: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (9) - 2 = 7

Manzcar may be down. I think his last post said he had 7 hp, and then her attack did 8 hp.

The tendrils don't count as an aberration, by any chance, do they? Aberrations are Random's favored enemy.

Random tries again to cut the tendrils, and misses completely. "I swear they're moving!"

Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"Maybe try removing it? If anyone can reach it?"

Answering his own question, Random steps back, dropping his sword, and then tries climbing the arch.

Climb: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9

I think you are right. Omorose is all out of healing, Phyton?

Ah, sorry. I forgot that Manzcar fell from that last hit. He'll still need a stabilize check:

DC 11 stabilize: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Still bleeding and drops to -2

@Jaysin: no DR but metal has hardness, which you would need adamantine to bypass-which is not likely at this level

Manzcar lies bleeding on the ground while Imrizade stands there dazed. Phyton imbues his weapon with holy power and Jaysin fires another two arrows at the canister, to no avail.

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Nari gives the Blakros girl that look and she seems ashamed of herself. Omorose and Random go after the tendrils but have no luck.

You guys have the feeling that even if the tendrils are severed they have still implanted themselves in her and will continue to have control over her until the canister is destroyed. But if you knock her out first then you can take your time with the canister.

DC 17 defensive casting: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Imrizade tries to cast a spell but it fizzles in her hand. Some of her wounds seem to have healed, though.

Initiative:

1. Nari
3. Jaysin, Random, Manzcar, Omorose
4. Imrizade
5. Phyton

Im: 1 dmg, -2 attack

You guys are up!

Jaysin reconsiders the situation and finds that he may have no other recourse but to attack the poor woman and then recover her from the state she currently is in. Sorry lady, but I'm afraid you'll have to go down before we can bring you back up.

Bow 1: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 = 17
Arrow 1: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Bow 2: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 = 15
Arrow 2: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

On the assumption that Imrizade does not have a weapon in hand.

Omorose grabs her cloak and attempts to lash it into Imrizade's eyes, but almost trips herself up instead. She then moves around to give Jaysin a clearer shot and perhaps offer a flank.

Dirty Trick: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1

Nari Keeps up her menacing glare and insane giggling. (add -2 to AC, to -2 to Attack evil eye. Same saves as above)

standard action - Evil Eye (-2 to AC), move action - Cackle (extend duration of both Evil Eyes affecting Imrizade)

I thought about knocking her out, but I figured her fast healing would work on that, too. Plus, Random's not built for melee with a -4 penalty.

Random tries again to climb the arch.

Climb: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6

Jaysin must be feeling guilty about hitting the woman because both of his arrows fly wide.

She is wearing a rapier but not wielding it yet.

Omorose nearly trips trying to swipe her cloak at Imrizade.

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Nari gives the woman another look and she seems to have let her guard down a bit. Random tries to climb the arch again but is having trouble.

Rolling for Manzcar:
DC 12 stabilize: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
So I think that puts Manzcar at -3 now.

Initiative:

1. Nari
3. Jaysin, Random, Manzcar, Omorose
4. Imrizade
5. Phyton

Im: 1 dmg, -2 attack, -2 AC

Phyton is up!

Phyton converts his last remaining spell to one of healing and kneels down to touch Manzcar.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Phyton heals up his fallen companion. Imrizade pulls out a rapier and jabs at Omorose. Her wounds seem to have completely healed up.

stabby stab: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 - 2 = 21
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Initiative:

1. Nari
3. Jaysin, Random, Manzcar, Omorose
4. Imrizade
5. Phyton

Im: 0 dmg, -2 attack, -2 AC

You guys are up!

Phyton rears back and swing his halberd at the woman.

Attack, Broken, Bless: 1d20 + 4 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 - 2 + 1 = 16
Damage, Broken, Good: 1d10 + 4 - 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 4 - 2 + (4) = 11

Take away the d6 if not evil.

Two more cold iron arrows fly toward the woman!

Bow: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 21 Forgot about Bless.
Arrow: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Bow: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 9
Arrow: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Standard Action = Cast Charm Person, Will negate (DC 15)- +5 to save because she is being attacked... Not great chances, but got to try something.

If Charm Person is not resisted.
Charisma: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

"Imrizade, we are not the enemy. That cursed box, and those creepy tendril things are controlling you. You know this is true! Help us, defeat them."

Regardless of what happens above
Move Action = Resume Cackling

Phyton swings and misses! She is evil now though, for future reference. Jaysin puts an arrow in her.

Will: 1d20 + 2 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 5 = 17

Nari tries to calm her down but she will not be won over so easily!

Initiative:

1. Nari
3. Jaysin, Random, Manzcar, Omorose
4. Imrizade
5. Phyton

Im: 5 dmg, -2 attack, -2 AC

Random, Manzcar, and Omorose are up!

Looking over his shoulder at the group having a hard time of it, Random wonders, Third time's the charm?

Climb: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Hells! Random bounces on his feet as he lands from this last attempt, and finds himself directly next to the possessed Blackros. So he tries to grab her.

Grapple, provokes AoO: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Assuming Random's grapple worked.

Omorose, gritting her teeth against the pain of her wounds, attempts to disarm the woman with her dagger, and to her own surprise succeeds before stepping back dropping her dagger and plucking up the rapier.

Disarm: 1d20 - 6 ⇒ (20) - 6 = 14 Not sure if a nat 20 auto wins a disamr, but she has a -2 from hex, and -4 to CMD from being grappled so I think it likely.

prone: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Manzcar wakes up from and sees the enemy that knocked him down and swings his sword at her as hard as he can.

Sorry for the delay; finals today but done now! Traveling tomorrow morning so potentially no updates until tomorrow afternoon/night.

stabby stab on Random: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 - 2 = 10
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Random falls down and gets stabbed in the process but is able to grab ahold of Imrizade. Attacks, maneuvers, and saves always auto-succeed on a 20. Omorose then knocks the woman's rapier out of her hand. Manzcar swings from the ground but has no luck.

CMB to break free: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Some of Imrizade's wounds heal as she breaks free of Random's grasp.

Initiative:

1. Nari
3. Jaysin, Random, Manzcar, Omorose
4. Imrizade
5. Phyton

Im: 2 dmg, -2 attack, -2 AC

You guys are up!

Geez, I think this is the longest tier 1-2 fight I've ever seen. I honestly did not expect her to last this long on her own. She's one tough cookie!

Omorose elects to try to prevent Imrizade breaking free, but even misfortune cannot prevent it.

Reroll Imrizade CMB to break free: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Two more arrows! This chick has to drop eventually.

Bow: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 12
Arrow: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Bow: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 27
Arrow: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Confirm?: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 20
Crit: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2) + 4 = 7

My first confirmed crit with this guy and I go all craptastic on the damage roll. Ugh.

Attack, Bless: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 2 = 20
Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 4 + (3) = 14

Phyton swings hard at the woman

Nari moves up towards Phyton, and lays her hand gently on him. "this is getting out of hand. Let us end this quickly."

Cast guidance on Phyton

If Imrizade goes down Omorose will attempt to stop anyone from delivering a powerful blow, kneeling over the woman with her dagger ready,

"I shall keep her from waking the damage I deal will not kill her."

Random again tries to restrain the woman.

Grapple: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

prone: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Manzcar feeling weak and knowing that if he gets up he will in all probability fall easily swings with no real aim.

Jaysin puts an arrow right in her gut and Phyton knocks her out cold!

Out of combat!

-8 currently with a Con of 12. I believe her fast healing continues to work though so she will eventually become conscious again. But basically you guys have a few rounds to tie her up.

With the possessed Blakros girl secured down, the party is able to take their time beating the strange metal canister into submission. A strange gooey brain-like substance oozes out of the smashed container. Imrizade suddenly snaps out of her trance. "Kubburum!" she screams, looking at the filth puddled on the floor. "Damn you, what did you do to me?"

Just then the Gate at the end of the chamber begins twisting and shaking itself apart over several moments before finally disintegrating in a blinding flash. Imrizade stares, shocked, at the party for several moments before she begins to sob uncontrollably, muttering her thanks to you for saving her life from the foul creature who took her over and apologizing over and over again for meddling in something beyond her power.

Congrats everyone! That finishes up "Voice in the Void!" I'll get chronicle sheets out soon and start up a thread for the next game for those of you interested.

Sweet, thanks GMEF!

Awesome Campaign see you all in Beggars pearl

Yay us! Another great game EF!

Thoroughly enjoyed it Endless Forms, thanks for running! I'll be altering Omorose's build for the next game so she can contribute a little more. If we managed to get 2PP, big if, a wand will go a long way allowing her to use her spell slots for offence.

Thanks for the game! Looking forward to continuing with the Beggar's Pearl!
