GM Erich's 7-98 Serpent's Ire (January Start) (Inactive)

Game Master Thereus, Silver Crusader

"Glad to see you haven't lost your sense Joliryn." retorts Rataji as he scurries around the corner. "How long you been here? Any pertinent information to share with us?"

Eyeing the enemies they downed, he asks the other "Should we terminate these before we continue?"

Thestil sidles up to Joliryn.
So why are you here? And what can you tell us about this place that you've learned?

Shohiraj takes 10 to disable the ray platform. The guards have masterwork equipment: shields, breastplates and silver warhammers. They also each have a potion of cure moderate wounds and an oil of magic weapon.

Joliryn answers.

"Well, I've been here about three months now. I was sent to investigate the efficiency of this place. Apparently those in the know have been wondering whether the researchers here are truly conducting business as they should."

Realizing the ray is disabled, she moves back into the room. Fluid-filled canisters attached to the walls contain a range of small creatures floating in stasis. An overturned operating table has broken one of these containers, spilling viscous liquid across the floor. A much larger glass cylinder stands to the southeast, though it appears empty.

"Most of the rooms are like this. Experiments. Gods know if I know what exactly they are trying to accomplish though. But they do take incredible notes. I'm not sure what you are here for, but if its documents you want, knock yourself out. They are everywhere." She nonchalantly flips a few sheafs of paper on the guard table.

The claxon continues to sound in the distant corridors.

"Now maybe you tell me why Aspis HQ sent a hunting party out?"

Zurnzal busies himself flipping through the documents and tossing some in his pack as he finds any that seem particularly damning.
Perception (search): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
When Shohiraj asks what they were sent for, he looks up and turns to Eramay, signaling to her that he'd let make the call about whether they would divulge that particular bit of information.

Rataji joins Zurnzal is his perusal of the materials. Putting documents in his pack as well. "Let me help you. There seem to be quite a few of them."

Noting the half-orc gesture, he nods.

"You've really been here three months and don't know what they're playing at?" he inquires.

Seems a long time to gain so little...and I was the embarrassment? ponders the human.

"Looking for traitors," Falth idly says as he rubs his bow clean of blood. He then looks up at Joliryn while wearing his signature grin. "Are you one of them?" A tinge of red flickers across his eyes as he concentrates to see if she's lying.

Discern Lies, DC 15 will negates

Shohiraj watches Zurnzal and Rataji closely before mentioning "Not a bad idea Rataji, maybe we should split those documents up, just as a precaution. Cover every eventuality, right?" before swallowing deeply from a potion bottle, pulling a face "Why does no-one look into making these things taste better?".

cure moderate: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (8, 2) + 3 = 13
cure moderate: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (8, 8) + 3 = 19

SM on Joliryn: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

Eremay listens as the other bombard Joliryn with questions. "Well now you have been here the longest out of all of us present. You lead as we continue with our mission. You cant stay here after we leave anyway but word of your actions may not have spread to everyone and that may give us an edge with you up front."

Joliryn will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Joliryn notices the inquisitor's spell attempt.

"Charming... but completely understandable. Trust me, I understand my odds." She gestures to make note of all the information gathering.

"If it is records you want. I can help you with that. Now let's get moving. Time is of the essence."

You have now gathered information pertinent to your mission. Two "points" worth to be exact. How many points do you need? More than two. Keep looking elsewhere.

@Eramay, although you don't know her well, the others seem somewhat comfortable with her presence, and she hasn't said or done anything to rattle you either.

Feel free to still roll the previous Knowledge or Linguistics check to get the extra point

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

After assembling the notes in the lab, the group heads deeper into Slumbersun. Joliryn moves with purpose through the corridors. There are several locked doors and gates to navigate.

Joliryn stops at a particulary heavy looking blast door that blocks the likely way.

"Hmm. This isn't good. All the rest of these defenses are kind of ... automatic. This door had to be shut by a researcher. Which means they must suspect something other than an escaped "experiment". I'm afraid they might be destroying evidence as we speak. Quick, follow me. I know a back way to the central core. It might be a little dangerous, so be ready."

She leads you south a few minutes to another door, this one with a metal inscription etched above it that reads “Bretheda Dome 3.”

"Here we are, this is where they keep some of their nastier pets. If we can get past this it will lead us into the research area proper." Joliryn says.

Feel free to buff as necessary before you open the door. I am going to say your minute per level buffs from before are still good for one minute.

New map is up

Linguistics: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19
K (Arcana): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

Attempting to study the notes as he hastily shoves them in his pack, he realizes it will require more attention...more time to get the full concept. 'I'll have to look these over more closely later' he considers; making mental note to check them later.

Following the others through random corridors, he studies the door. Knowing there's something about the inscription...something he'd read long ago... 'What was it? Alas the man is unable to recall the information.

'Well, aren't I just a ball of usefulness. Hopefully I get the cobwebs out before we finish this mission. Can't say as I've earned my status back yet.'

With a sigh, he remains silent as the others converse.

Just prior to the group opening the door, he looks to Joliryn. "You have any specific entities we should expect? Any particular types of damage work better in this room?"

"This is a holding pen for new experiments. I wasn't allowed in here often. No telling what it could be."

Shohiraj looks over the documents blankly, not recognising any of the material, shrugging she puts some into her backpack.

She then moves out with the rest of the team, keeping an on Joliryn.

When they get to the door and Joliryn indicates trouble ahead, Shohiraj gives it the once over to ensure their are no nasty surprises.
perception: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35

As soon as she is confident it is safe she turns to the team, "I'm ready to go".

Kn (Dungeoneering): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

"New experiments?" Falth chuckles to himself. "This should be good. Come on, let's stop wasting time and see what's in there." He grips his cruel bow in his hands and practices aiming at the cages ahead.

Arcana: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

"let us move quickly...Sho check for traps up front as we go...Zurnzal be close to her to punch anything that comes up hostile, Falth and Thestil be ready to support and Rataji watch our backs... no telling what is in here waiting for us... if you see and know it, call it out for the rest...lets move!"

Thestil nods.
I'd planned on it. You lot just make sure I don't get attacked by something no one saw.

She takes a brief look at the group and smirks.
We'll have to go over all of those papers in detail before we leave. Together. I'm not giving a half ass report to our superiors. For now, let's go. We have to take care of this... new problem. I wonder if this is what that thing earlier was trying to warn us of.

With a silent nod, Rataji takes up his assigned position in the back. Trying to keep his eyes open as they proceed for opposition.

Perception (going through door): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The door is safe and opens with a hushed whoosh. Inside the room it is misty and has a disturbingly tangy smell. The ceiling rises 20 feet above the catwalk and 30 feet above the alien habitat.

At the far end of the room, you can barely make out (beyond the glass), a trio of researchers in each of the two labs. They notice the door open as you enter. They furiously begin heaping armloads of parchment and bound journals into their arms and carry it deeper in the facility, out of view.

"As I expected, they are destroying documents!" Joliryn forces out under her breath.

Round 1 - Everyone is up
Rataji - Shield
Falth - Shield of Faith
Shohiraj
Joliryn - Shield
Thestil
Eramay - 3 ST damage
Zurnzal - Shield of Faith, Bear's Endurance

You realize there are likely other creatures in the misty underbrush below. Feel free to make perception checks as you move, or if you prefer, standing still.

Rubbing his hands together and drawing a large circle over his head, he snaps "Quickly now! They are getting away!" A green light erupts from the man and encompasses the party, including Joliryn.

Cast Haste

Looking for hazards, he prepares to run along with his companions, maintaining his rear guard post.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Once all the casters cast their prep spells Eremay will move along the left side of the room...

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29

"Quickly on the left...we need to block access to this other passage!" Eremay tells the others and leads with her sword drawn...

double move

Quickened by Rataji's spell, Zurnzal moves with incredible speed to the passage Eramay had indicated.

Triple move with haste

Thestil snaps her belt into a large weapon (approximately the size of a greataxe) and follows Zurznal.
Same action as him

Stop or die!

Falth accelerates ahead with the group, his bow at the ready. "What she said. Except I'd rather say Die or die!"

Same as the other two!

Shohiraj dashes forward, leaping across the corner and landing lightly. When she nears her teammates she falls into a defensive stance, suppressing the urge to roll her eyes at Faiths comment.

Move action, into total defence for +6AC.

As the group moves in to challenge the researchers behind the glass, the jungle floor suddenly becomes quite active. Bushes and trees rattle as three small six-legged finned-back creatures rush across the floor and up the walls of the enclosure to hamper the group's progress. They cunningly angle themselves like long-necked hunters, hissing and baring their fanged snouts while a forth one appears in the underbrush and lets out a curdling squeal.

Finally, an emaciated quadruped with a mouth full of jagged teeth and a cluster of five bald, mewling offspring clinging to its back flashes with psychic energy as it unleashes a strange and twisted suggestion upon several of your group.

In the distance, the rooms start to grow a bit foggy as the rooms fill with some sort of "steam" from the destruction process of the researchers.

Joliryn Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Joliryn Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

I need will saves from Eramay, Thestil, Shohiraj, and Falth from the blue creature's howl (sonic mind-affecting fear effect). I also need a will save from Rataji from the purple creature's mind affecting attack

Round 2 - Everyone is up
Rataji - (Shield, Haste) - need will save
Falth - (Shield of Faith, Haste) - need will save
Shohiraj - (Haste)- need will save

will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Shohiraj darts forward using her enhanced speed to cover the distance, bouncing off of the wall to avoid an attack from the creature. Dropping into position she pauses as it focuses it's attention on her and waits until an ally moves up to distract it.

"Ah, more toys for Chimera. Or was it Euthansia? I don't remember. It doesn't matter," Falth says as he points his bow at the quadruped and unleashes a rain of arrows. "This four-legged thing's called a Su. It uses psychic magic. The others are vooniths. They're... Noisy."

What types and subtypes are the Su and Vooniths? Does the Su have any DR?

Cruel composite longbow: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 131d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Arcana: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Eremay moves further down the passageway towards the researchers...

K (Arcana): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33
K (Arcana): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32

"The other beasts are vooniths. Vicious amphibians with a nasty howl."

Stepping forward, Rataji begins spouting phrases as the rushing wind. "මම අප සමත් ඉඩ ඔබ අය". As the air around him begins to crackle with electricity, he points at the Ra, focusing the energy forward.

Lighting Damage: 8d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 2, 5, 4, 6, 4, 5) = 36

Cast Lightning bolt. I think I'll catch two creatures in the spell. Reflex DC 18 for half.

Su - Any specific resistances? Weaknesses to types of damage? Special Attacks?
vooniths - DR? Any specific resistances? Weaknesses to types of damage?

While we are waiting on the other two, I'll answer some questions. Also, it looks like Joliryn will rush up to flank with Shohiraj.

@Falth Both creatures are magical beasts. Feel free to activate your bane (if you wish) and add that damage to a your attacks above. Magic weapons will get past the Su's considerable DR

@Rataji Because of the whelps on its back, the Su benefits from improved evasion and all around vision. The Su can pounce and rake and cause severe bleeding. No real weaknesses or other resistances on either creature.

@Rataji Because of the elevation distance, the lightning bolt can only strike one creature. Given what you know, feel free to change your action or target.

Assuming Joliryn does step up into the flank...

Zurnzal moves forward past the beast Shohiraj and Joliryn have trapped, careful to avoid the creature as he passes. Even moving cautiously, however, the speed with which Rataji had imbued him propelled him forward toward the reddish beast in front of him.

Acrobatics to tumble: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

As he draws near to the creature, Zurnzal recalls his upbringing among the orc tribes. He remembers the save strength with which they would swing their might axes and blades. Perhaps there was some merit to unleashing an all out attack like that...

Using martial flexibility as a swift action to pick up Power Attack. Using an unarmed strike to kick the red beastie.
Unarmed strike, power attack: 1d20 + 16 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 16 - 2 = 24 Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 4 = 17

Oops, forgot to calculate the height in... Changed my movement destination and go with magic missile on the closest one below me. Thanks

Magic Missile: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 3) + 4 = 12

Sounds good, Erich. Add +2 to my attack and damage rolls, then.

Falth embues his bow with a certain hatred against the creatures he sees before he fires.

Extra damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3
Extra damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6
Extra damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

Rataji blasts the nearest creature with his arcane missiles. Falth targets the Su with two arrows through the dense underbrush. Joliryn moves to flank with Shohiraj who then strikes with fury, severely injuring the voonith in between them. Thestil and Eramay move up to engage. Thestil's blade sinks into the voonith and it slumps to the ground. Zurnzal races forward and kicks the beast at his feet.

It scurries back and unleashes its howl. Need will saves from Shohiraj, Thestil, Eramay, and Zurnzal The other vooniths move to engage Rataji at the rear. The one in the trees strikes out with its bite but misses. The one on the platfrom streaks forward and pounces, biting and clawing Rataji for significant scrapes and bruises that take their toll. The su lumbers through the underbrush and tries to affect you all again, psychically. Need a will save from Shohiraj and Falth

Green Creature
Yellow Creature (unconscious) - 41 damage
Purple Creature (concealment) - 26 damage

Will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Zurnzal scoffs as the creature backs away from his attack. "Heh, pathetic little wretch can hardly take hi--?!" His voice stop short as the voonith lets out a heart-stopping howl. "Wha--what is it doing?! Get it away! Get it away from me!"

Not sure if that gave me the Frightened condition, or just shaken. Gotta figure out how far away I'll have to run if it's the former.

will vs howl: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
will vs psych: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Shohiraj shrugs off the effect of the howl, but the effort leaves her vulnerable and she succumbs to the Sus psychic power.

Now that the cats are out of the bag, the voonith's howl is a DC 15 Will save or become dazed for 1 round and then shaken for an additional 1d6 rounds.

For the su's psychic attack, it is a DC 16 Will save versus confusion, albeit the su gets a choice to see how it it affects you each round

confusion effect for Shohiraj: 1d4 ⇒ 21d4 ⇒ 2

For this round, Shohiraj will just babble incoherently.

apologies for the delay. went to a con this weekend and picked up a bug in addition to chronicles

Eremay moves up to help defend Rataji in the back as the others deal with the foes to the front...

+1 Corrosive Scimitar: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17...DMG: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9...

and also gets hit by the creatures howl...
WILL: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

"jufes hgill fublehuj I gresah lomajhy hu fro " shohiraj starts to move, before stopping and looking around, nothing making sense. Her attempt to ask others what happened coming out as nonsense...

"Agh!" groans the man as the beasts swarm him. Staggering back, he forms a few translucent arrows in the air before him. Pointing to fingers a piece at the two vooniths engaging him, the projectiles surge forward, exploding on impact.

Cast Defensively DC 17: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

2 Magic Missile vs Green: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 2 = 7
2 Magic Missile vs Blue: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 3) + 2 = 6

5' step back. Cast defensively shooting 2 magic missile at blue and two at green

Dazed for this round, then. No actions. Do you want to roll for the additional shaken rounds, GM, or shall I?

Will save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Falth grins as he shakes off the psychic howl. "Not a chance, beast," then puts another three smokey black arrows in his bow and unleashes them at the Su.

Cruel composite longbow: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16
Damage + extra damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 42d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7

Damage + extra damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 82d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5

Rataji whirls away and blasts the creatures who threaten him. Falth volleys at the creature lumbering in the shadows below, both only one arrow strikes true. Shohiraj succumbs to the psychic torture as Joliryn blasts the voonith in the trees. Thestil strikes at the voonith in the fore as Zurnzal watches, mouth agape. Eramay defends Rataji with a stong strike that causes the creature to retreat and howl. will saves from Eramay, Falth and Rataji

The su races up the wall with unnatural ease and tears into Thestil with razor-like teeth.

The windows beyond continue to fog.

Shohiraj continues to babble this round

Green voonith (howled) - 16 damage
Yellow voonith (unconscious) - 41 damage
Purple su (concealment) - 39 damage

Zurnzal begins to sweat slightly as the fear settles over him like a blanket. He does what he can to resist and find a solution to their current plight, however. "Not working. Have to get to them. Have to stop them....OUT OF MY WAY!" The half-orc shouts, lowers his head, and rushes headlong at the enemy standing before him.

Move action to use martial flexibility, gaining Power Attack and Improved Overrun, move and standard to attempt overrun against the Red Voonith.

Improved Overrun: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

If that doesn't beat the voonith's CMD, I stop in the space in front of it.

Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Smiling as the creature collapses under his ministrations, he turns to the second nearby combatant. Preparing another incantation, it's shrill shriek reaches his ears; stopping his grandiose posturing.

His eyes suddenly unfocused as the man stands still, wavering in place.

And....dazed

WIL: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Eremay succumbs to the daze effect as well...

Will save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Falth grimaces as the scream paralyzes him in place. "Ugh.. I once heard a sound like this... Except.. I was the one making it." He struggles to move and launch another set of arrows but his body just will not respond.

"hjur thys breuh? melli srop" Shohiraj continues her apparently fascinating conversation with the wall - it appears to make some insightful comments from her reaction...

The voonith's squeal is particularly potent and much of the group writhes in agony. Joliryn unleashes another set of fire bolts at the voonith, but the second blazes errant. Ignoring her bleeding wound, Thestil launches her assault on the psychic creature, tearing into its hardened flesh with her bladed toy. Zurnzal races to the back wall, narrowly missing the su's snapping maw. The remaining vooniths, perhaps in fear of the su, but mortally wounded as well, withdraw to the shadows of the underbrush or the safety of the hallway beyond. The su returns the favor and mauls Thestil, unwilling to release her arm at the end of it, as the whelps cling perilously to its arcing spine.

Zurnzal can see through the mist that the researchers are feverishly destroying documents in a vat of acid on the floor.

Shohiraj acts normally this round. Also, I added in some extra damage for Thestil as she would have been using vital strike last round.
