GM_Foxy's 2nd Carrion Crown

Game Master Foxy Quickpaw

perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34

Who's falling?.. Wait that sounds like... A Haunt!!!

Back up everyone!. Do we have anymore of those haunt siphons?

Grergof stays behind as the others back up and attempt to attack the haunt with his Lay on Hands.

Lay on Hands + Deadly Juggernaut (Vs Touch): 1d20 + 22 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 22 + 4 = 35
Damage: 7d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 2, 3, 5, 2, 1) = 17

Let's hope this works!

Spugnoir pops a siphon
Ghostbusted: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 4) = 12

Only Grergof gets to act before this. So no fleeing, or siphoning.

A swarm of keening ectoplasmic spirits swirls around the stairs, accompanied by a forlorn, wailing keen that overwhelms the living with sorrow and angst.

DC23 Fort Save vs. Wail of the Banshee to negate 150 points of damage.

Darius looks shocked.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 2 + 4 = 26
Darius still has his aura up, which has +4 resistance. So if your cloak isn't +4 you get some bonus out of that. Plus +4 from the death ward.

Fort + Aura + Death ward + Veil: 1d20 + 17 + 3 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 17 + 3 + 4 + 2 = 42

Run if you can!

Grergof says as he reaches out and hits the thing again with his lay on hands
Lay on Hands + Deadly Juggernaut (Vs Touch): 1d20 + 22 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 22 + 4 = 34
Damage: 7d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 3, 1, 4, 5, 1) = 23

After Grergof's second attack the wailing dies down and the ectoplasmic spirits dissolves.

Assuming the others pass the fort save and are alive.

Hurry, that may not keep it for long!

He leads the others quickly up the stairs.

Ok

Base save +13
+2 Heroism
+2 Aura
+4 Death Ward

Fort: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 2 + 2 + 4 = 25

Augh!

Spugnoir flees with the others

Fort Save: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 1 + 4 = 20

Abomentolor falls down dead.

Dammit!

By the Rough Beast! Father Redgrave, can you heal that?

Um..Should a paladin of Sarenrae swear by the Rough Beast?

Grergof looks slightly chagrined but does not apologize. In stead he waits anxiously for his companion to answer.

Darius holds up his holy symbol and calls to Iomedae to bring the little gnome back.
Breath of life: 5d8 + 15 ⇒ (1, 7, 8, 8, 1) + 15 = 40

Thanks for hinting at healing. I was so set on raise dead which I didn't prepare, I didn't see the easy solution.

Abomentolor groans.

Spells used: 7(3), 6, 5(3), 4(5), 3(4), 2(3)
HP 0/120

As Abomentolor seems to be alive again, Darius casts another healing spell.

Heal 150HP

"That's much better. Thanks." Getting up Abomentolor looks at the stairs ahead.

"F#*! stairs." he states, grabs the others and dimdoors all up onto the next level with solid floor in the tower.

Spells used: 7(3), 6, 5(3), 4(6), 3(4), 2(3)
HP 120/120

You emerges in a large chamber inside the tower’s flared apex. The gray sky churns as the final height of Gallowspire continues upward from the center of the chamber, stabbing toward the dark clouds above, the towering blades decorating its rooftop reflecting flashes of purple lightning. Shadows dance among the gloom, and strange, inhuman cries echo shrilly throughout the vault.

Also a huge ugly creature occupies the place. Red glowing eyes, bat wings, horns and a mouth full of sharp teeth.

Spugnoir uses his last Haste Extract on everyone

The Golem lobs a bomb
Bomb,Touch: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 338d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 6, 5, 6, 2, 1, 6) = 36
Element: 1d4 ⇒ 1 Acid

Knowledge(Religion): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29

Darius evokes a little sun that allows him to shoot sunbeams at the creature. To be out of the way of area effects the monster might use he moves away.

Sunbeam DC25: 15d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 4, 3, 5, 5, 4, 5, 2, 1, 2, 5, 6, 3, 4) = 57

Not undead but... in the name of gods of light, have at you demon!
Declare the creature my smite target, I assume he's evil but not undead for the attack below.

Then Grergof moves up and attacks the bat winged creature.
Raven's Head + DB - PA + FF + DJ + haste + smite: 1d20 + 24 + 2 - 4 + 4 + 4 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 24 + 2 - 4 + 4 + 4 + 1 + 5 = 45

AC currently 34 vs the Bat winged demon (32 vs everything else) and DR 8/-- for all attacks.

It is undead.

The startled creature gets hit by a series of attacks out of nowhere. Before it can react it is hit by an explosion, a cleansing light and a devastating blow from a mace.

CL check from Darius needed.

The monster doesn't like this cornered position and for sure not this holy guy in front of it. So it steps away and douses all but Darius in a burst of confusion.

DC19 Will Save or confused.

Abomentolor, Grergof, Darius, Spugnoir <--

CL: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
1d100 ⇒ 42

Abomentolor stands around babbling.

CL: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

Darius finds his spell to be ineffective. Which is highly annoying. Not wanting to waste more magic for nothing on that beast, he waits if Grergof will handle it on his own.

OK then if it is undead it takes the more damage from the first attack
Bane + Extra undead: 2d6 + 2 + 15 ⇒ (5, 5) + 2 + 15 = 27

Will Save + Veil: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 15 + 2 = 31
You think you can get away that easily?
So his step away would trigger my step up Feat, (Which means I get to follow him and he is threatened when he does his spell. I'll roll the extra AoO and you can ignore it if he cast defensivly.

AoO from spell: 1d20 + 24 + 2 + 2 - 4 + 4 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 24 + 2 + 2 - 4 + 4 + 1 + 5 = 36
Damage: 1d8 + 11 + 2 + 2 + 2d6 + 8 + 2d6 + 4 + 30 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 2 + 2 + (2, 4) + 8 + (6, 6) + 4 + 30 = 80

In either case since he is right on top of the thing, Grergof unloads on the creature not swinging so hard so he makes sure all his blows land.
Raven's Head + DB + Bane + DJ + haste + smite: 1d20 + 24 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 24 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 5 = 56

Haste Attack
Raven's Head + DB + Bane + DJ + haste + smite: 1d20 + 24 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 24 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 5 = 45

OK, even I have to admit that is totally Ridiculous. But when traps are doing 150 to every player, PCs kind of have to be Ridiculous.

Cast Defensively: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31

Grergof smashes the undead into a pulp and beyond. The only enemies left are potentially confused companions.

Abomentolor, Grergof,
Darius, Spugnoir <--
Batman(380, RIP)

This would be very unfortunate if he was just a friendly spirit that was just about to help us against our final battle against the Whispering Tyrant

Will save,Heroism: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

Spugnoir flinches as he gets hit in the face by a liver, appendix, lymph
gland and some odd gristly thing that sings folk songs in Abyssal.

1d100 ⇒ 23

"Well, that was quick." Abomentolor states the obvious.

Is everyone OK?

Maybe a mass Pro Evil, to end the confusion? Then do we move on?
I've got 2 more smites today, and lots of LoH.

Darius moves over to the group. "Let's haste, I got two minutes worth of magic in my hands."

Darius has a 20 ft protective aura active which works as prot evil. amongst other effects.

"Ok then. F!@# stairs, right?" Abomentolor states and grabs everyone again.

Dimdoor to the next level.

Spugnoir, Darius

Will save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

So this is the guy we are supposed to be chasing? Just who is this fellow supposed to be? Spugnoir seems unimpressed.

Will + Pro evil from Darius: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 15 + 2 = 24
Yikes!

Necromancer! For the honor of the Dawnbringer and the safety of the world, You must fall! The tyrant shall not rise again!

Declare this thing my smite target

Then Grergof flies and tries to get next to the mage to smash it with his mace.

I can fly 60' in a given round with fly + haste even in full armor.

On the off chance I can actually get to the creature this round:
I'm assuming this is a necromancer not a Lich, but is evil. If that assumption is wrong, let me know.
Raven's Head + DB - PA + FF + DJ + haste + smite: 1d20 + 24 + 2 - 4 + 4 + 5 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 24 + 2 - 4 + 4 + 5 + 1 + 5 = 42

We're still on the some map, just on the upper part. Distance is not that big and the necromancer is undead.

Concentration: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (14) + 22 = 36
The dead looking guy casts a spell that unleashes lightning that jumps from one person to the next.

Chain Lightning DC22/20: 16d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 5, 4, 5, 2, 6, 3, 1, 6, 3, 4, 6, 1, 4) = 55

I think the golem is immune to the spells

Immunity to Magic (Ex)
An alchemical golem is immune to spells or spell-like abilities that allow spell resistance, save for spells with the sonic descriptor. Shatter damages an alchemical golem as if it were a crystalline creature.

I was actually expecting a wall of force or invisible prismatic sphere or something that would stop me from hitting.

Darius: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Darius moves to have a line of effect that excludes Grergof.

Grergof's attempt at the unlife of the creature pops one of the 9 versions out of existance. Spugnoir pops two more of those annoying images. But Darius' sunshine hits the magic slinging undead fully.
