GM Evil's Scions of the Sky Key (High Tier) (Inactive)

Game Master Z...D...

@ Oleander: I moved you wolf for you. You will see why in a second.

Just as Oleander lands on the other side of the noose, she notices to additional traps in the vicinity she could not see from her original vantage point.

Spike traps to be exact

Oleander draws her bow and fires into the jungle to the north.

attack vs flat footed: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 +4 if human, +2 if evil outsiders
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 and bonus as above.
"Ambush... and spike traps!"

Smart wolf that one
"Git em wolfie"
Wolfie springs at the creature to the north.

Shortley after oleander lands on the other side she immediatley acts to something. After looking at what she reacted to the party sees two creatures hiding in the brush.

Knowledge Arcana

Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 = 21 (Includes +2 for Monster Lore.)
(I would like to know the creatures special attacks and special defenses.)

Split between the two creatures, Saphera decides to move between Andruss and the green Krenshar. “These creatures are magical in nature, and are not evil. Put them down, but try not to kill them if you can avoided it.”

After moving up to the green Krenshar, the inquisitor forces her barricade between herself and the creature, then brings her large blade into a side handed swing.

(Attack) MW Cold-iron Bastard-sword: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
(Damage) MW Cold-iron Bastard-sword: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 (None lethal)
(Damage) Sneak attack: 1d6 ⇒ 5 (None lethal)
(Damage) Merciful: 1d6 ⇒ 6 (None lethal)

(Attack) Critical Conformation: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
(Damage) Critical: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 (None lethal)

@Saphera; Skullface (Su) As a standard action, a krenshar can pull the skin back from its face, revealing the musculature and bony structures of its skull. This counts as using Intimidate to demoralize an opponent, and is an extraordinary ability. The krenshar can emit a loud screech while peeling back its skin, causing potent fear in a single creature within 100 feet that can see the krenshar.

Saphera knocks the creature out cold in one hit.

damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Azura moves up and begins to sing to inspire her comrades.

Very sorry for my absence. My laptop charging cord got mangled and I lost power before I noticed it had happened. Then I had some trouble finding a replacement, but I am back online again!

Andruss curses the creature that is fighting Oleander and her wolf.

Andruss use the Evil Eye hex on the red enemy, giving a -2 on its AC for 9 rounds. Will DC 18 reduce to 1 round.

Saphera begins observing the other creature's movements as she makes her way to engage it.

(Move action) Move 20', (Standard action) Study target on red.

Turzyk gets a running jump to leap over the trap...

Acrobatics Jump: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20

Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

The creature looks shaken from Andruss's glare, but however not enough to back down.

It unleashes another series of attacks against wolfie.

Azura keeps up her performance, singing as she crosses the bridge carefully, trying to be sure to avoid any traps. She draws her bow and fires into the melee.

Acrobatics?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Fire Composite Shortbow, PB, IC, melee: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 18

Maintaining Inspire Courage performance, don't forget your bonuses. Wolfie gets them too!

Saphera moves into a flank position with the wolf. (This likely provokes an AOO as she moves through Oleander's space.) After reaching what she considers to be a tactical spot, she shoves her large shield forward and then brings her blade into a gaping arc over the top of the shield.

(Move action) Move into a flank, (Standard action) Attack the red creature.
.

Woolfie, not looking very happy at all continues to try and bite the horrible creature, moving to flank with his mistress. This is do or die stuff, and wolfie has been here before.

attack, flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 2 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
trip: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14

Oleaner cries out "Woolfie!" and does her best to chop the creatures head off.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Andruss fires a magic missile against the creature.

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

The Krenshar falls under the many attacks.

Along the statue you find a longspear and a warhammer.

Moving on to the next part. Almost done

The PC's come across a set of ruins.

What remains of the ruins’s heart may have once been a shrine. Demolished walls encircle an ancient dais, atop which a shattered anvil-shaped altar lies defaced with dried blood, chalk markings, and other detritus. The bones of dozens of humanoid creatures are scattered about the building, along with the larger skeletal remains of what may be wyverns or drakes that are marred with deep claw marks. Behind the altar, a large stairwell stained with the blood of countless creatures
descends into some dark vault below.

A group of kobolds are in surrounding miners, seven miners are left, each bearing a single golden wing on their foreheads.

Right now, they are unaware of you presence. If you wish to move around the building you may, but will require stealth checks. But if you move with in 10ft of the building,you will be noticed. Every one may take an turns worth of actions before you are noticed.

Oleander takes out some herbs and a needle and sets to work on the worst of Wolfie's wounds.

CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

SM: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

"We have little time.." whispers Oleander. "They are preparing the miners for sacrifice. Probably to whatever creature ate those others. And if it manged to also eat a dragon, then we really don't want to fight it. Let us get those miners and depart as quickly as we can."

Azura casts detect magic and examines the weapons.
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

"I am unsure of the spear, but this is a Hammer of Lightning. It puts forth a great bolt of lightning when thrown, but will be consumed in the process."

She watches carefully when they arrive at the ruins.

Heal: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (12) - 1 = 11
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Speaking low for her fellow Pathfinder's ears only, she says, "That looks to have been an altar dedicated to the dwarven god, Torag. Before it was defaced, anyway." She shakes her head in clear disapproval. "We must act fast, it looks like they intend to perform a sacrifice."

Azura draws her wand of shield and expends a charge casting it on herself and then offers it for someone else to use if they like. "You'll have to cast it upon yourself, but you are welcome to it if you can."
Shield has a target of "you" so Azura can't buff others with it, but anyone who has it on their spell list or has UMD is welcome to use a charge.

She makes sure her bow is ready and prepares to move with the group to intercede on the miner's behalf.
Stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

While nodding in agreement with Bluedove, Saphera begins examining the skeletal remains.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

"These remains look to be created by something with large claws."

Heal: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

"The larger of the bones, which appears to be a wayvern, looks very old. The humanoid bones, on the other hand, seem more recent."

After examining the remains, Saphera glances over where the kobolds have the miners. "Let's not be hasty. Based on the bones I just examined, I don't think the kobolds are the only threat here. I have a feeling that there is a large clawed creature also lurking around somewhere.'

Taking a moment to prepare herself for combat, Saphera casts shield of faith on herself. After completing the spell, she turns to the rest of the group. "Ill engage the Kobolds, drawing their attack, and see if the combat will bring out the clawed creature. Take care if you decided to move into combat, and Good luck to everyone."

With out any further hesitation, Saphera moves to engage the kobolds.

(If Saphera charges, will she be able to reach the closest kobold within the surprise round? Note; she has a movement of 20)

IF Saphera looks to charge, Oleander will step to get a clear line of fire and then attack the closest koblds with arrowfire.

"I think we can do this in other way, Saphera."

I'm on the phone now. Please, wait for my Post before proceede. I'll post til tomorrow.

Saphera raises an eyebrow as Andruss begins talking. "I'm listening."

Anyone else have healing for wolfie before we get to this finale?

"I am unsure of the spear, but this is a Hammer of Lightning. It puts forth a great bolt of lightning when thrown, but will be consumed in the process."

Spellcraft DC 18: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

"And the longspear is a simples magical weapon." (longspear +1)

Andruss gets close to Orleander's wolf, "let me see if I can help you."

Wand CLW #1: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Wand CLW #2: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Wand CLW #3: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

@Orleander, I think that Wolfie is full HP now. :)

At the ruins...

Perception DC 15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Heal DC 20: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Sense Motive DC 15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

"You'll have to cast it upon yourself, but you are welcome to it if you can."

"I would apreciate it, my lady", Andruss took borrow Azura's wand and used it on himself. +4 shield bonus on AC.

"I'm listening."

"So, I can put those kobolds to sleep...", he talks to Saphera while watches her over his glasses.

"If they fall, our work can be more easy. What do you think?"

@GM Z..D.. how many rounds do we have before "the ritual" starts?

@Andruss, it does not specify. All it says is if the PC's move within 10 feet of the building the creatures take notice. And if you wish to move on the outside it requires a stealth check.

Saphera nods in agreement with Andruss's plan, then begins studying the middle kobold's movement.

(Saphera will prepare to move in immediately after Andruss's spell kicks off. Prior to the casting, she will study target on the center kobold.

"Stay prepared if the spell doesn't work", he advises the others, just before start to cast Sleep.

As Andruss is casting sleep from a scroll, the will DC is only 11. :x

OK Andruss will use his scroll of sleep.Please edit the map where you are placing the sleep spell.

Saphera moves in. Go Ahead and moves yourself.

Everyone make your prepared actions. Then you can act normally.

To make sure I understand this correctly. Andruss casts his spell as Saphera moves in... (Full or half action of movement)? Then round (1) begins with Bold acting first. Does that sound correct?

@GM Z..D.. Yes, this have to be clarified. Sleep will affect the creatures before the combat starts, right?

EDIT: sleep area marked in yellow.

will save red: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
will save yellow: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

So red and yellow save but the unfiltered on is asleep now. Saphera will get to move in since that is what she said was going to happen when Andruss activates the spell. Then we start in with initiative.

Shield of faith -0/40 rds.

Using Slumber hex. The kobold has to make a Will check DC 18, or falls asleep for 4 rounds..

Turzyk moves forward... double move; he cast SoF earlier

Azura moves into the area and fires on the kobold no one is fighting yet. Targeting Yellow.

Saphera moves around the red kobold, keeping her shield between herself and the small beast. After making the adjustment she begins studying the creatures movement. After calculating the best time to swing, the inquisitor brings her blade into a low arcing blow from around the right side of the barricade.

Not wanting to spoil Andruss' spell by attacking again, Azura moves toward the miners, intent on freeing them.

I'm a little unsure where they are or how they are bound, though. Is it rope she can cut?

Oleander's companion springs to action and charges the red kobold, knocks him to the ground and starts mauling it.

Oleander is unable to hit the target in melee.

Saphera then dispatches the red kobold, driving her bastard sword through the chest.

Azura you are able to free some of the miners, but to get them to act you may need to persuade them.Diplomacy or Intimidate. They do not actually participate in initiative, but will give you all aide in other ways.

The green kobold emerges from the stairs and goes to kick the yellow one awake.

#2 emerges and makes his way towards Saphera and takes a swing at her with a rapier.

attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Her eyes shining a bright cyan color and her hair swirling majestically around her shoulders, Azura speaks to the miners as she frees them. "Alright gents, if we're going to get through this, we're going to have to do it together. 'Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid.' Eh?" She finishes with a wink.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Andruss moves forward and casts ear-piercing scream against the enemy #2, that's threatening Saphera.

#2 have to make a Fortitude save DC 17, or take sonic damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8 and becomes dazed. If he got success on the save check, he takes only half of the damage and isn't dazed.
