HP 111/135

Once Rhesus and Clement are ready, Bibic is eager to head toward the light to see who, or what, might lie within it. His bow is out and ready as he anticipates it won't be friendly.

Wow, he made 'em! 5+6+2+4+2+6+2+5+5/2=19. To 90/135hp.

Clement keeps his attention fixed on the golems as dozens of shards thud into his armor, some finding their way through.

Pausing for a few seconds just in case a lone shard fires out of one of the collapsed golems, he smiles as he administers a flash of radiant energy from his godlike personage.

Channel: 8d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 4, 4, 2, 4, 6, 6, 6) + 1 = 39

90+39=129/135hp.

Clement glances down at the fallen golems.

"Do you think these golems would typically attack to murder anyone who came in to get some ice? Or just Pathfinders? Or just those that didn't speak the magic word before they grabbed some?"

Clement opens his waterskin and grabs a couple shards before dropping them in and making a 'cheers' motion to Rhesus and Koriah.

I'm kind of excited to have a GM-controlled Pathfinder planted within our party now, it's someone else to contrast against our nonchalant thuggery.

Koriah looks at Spasi, "This isn't a tomb. These are the workshops of the priests of Nethys that lived here. I knew most of them."

Spasi looks Koriah and shakes his head in amazement.

"Well, if you knew what was in there, why didn't you say so?! Don't hold back on us. If you know where are golems or traps up ahead, *please do say so*," Spasi drips anger with his 'polite' request, wondering why Koriah didn't mention that before.

"Is there anything else you want to tell us before we continue on?"

"Do you think these golems would typically attack to murder anyone who came in to get some ice? Or just Pathfinders? Or just those that didn't speak the magic word before they grabbed some?"

Spasi steps back from his examination of the golems.

"Nah, someone bewitched these golems to make them attack us. Nethysians are known to like their magics...and golems. Probably one of them did it."

I'm kind of excited to have a GM-controlled Pathfinder planted within our party now, it's someone else to contrast against our nonchalant thuggery.

What are you trying to say, Clem?! That we're *not* good Pathfinders!? :)

Well, technically Spasi is a subcontractor with the rest of the party since Sheila kicked him out. Honestly though, you have to admire the naked profiteering behaviour of the party. Too bad this AP is pretty much an on-rails McGuffin hunt, setting this group free upon an unsuspecting world would be a hoot.

Koriah shrugs, "I wasn't allowed down here. All the construction predates the abbey by hundreds of years. I don't know how much of it had been restored by the priests. There were some acolyte quarters down here and I know that there is a brewery, but where things are, I couldn't tell you. I didn't know that there were ice golems down here. I just figured that a frozen shut door, wasn't really a pressing place to break into. Resources need to be rationed and we might find ourselves missing that fireball later on."

B1

As you move towards the light, you begin to hear the faint squeal of metal on metal. It gets louder as you near, stopping and starting again at random intervals. The sour smell of old beer and wine, not unlike that which rolls off of Spasi most mornings, also grows. Peering in the entrance you see a huge room filled with several crates, barrels, kegs, and racks for wine, many of which have been opened, emptied, upturned, and shattered. The floor is littered with glass shards and corks and strewn with loose coils of rope. A set of double doors is in the eastern wall and another hallway branches off to the west.

In the center of the room is a mechanical man. All gears and metal pistons, it stomps around in fits and starts, crushing the room's detritus beneath its feet. You can see that the construct has suffered some serious damage.

It's a clockwork golem and anyone with the appropriate skill recognizes that.

Rhesus looks at the golem with distrust.

"So they used cold golems to store food, they must use this one as a trash stomper?"

Bibic eyes the golem warily, keeping the golembane scarab on for now. "Seems out of control to me." he considers trying to best it from here, or at least soften it up, but he waits to see what the others think before letting fly with arrows.

Spasi waits as well, then shrugs.

"Are we waiting? I'm betting it's going to attack. We should hit it back first."

Spasi will cast Haste when others are ready to go.

Clem glances towards Koriah apologetically, as if she purchased the or received mechanical golem from her father on her eighteenth birthday.

"Probably whatever convinced the others to be hostile has this one intent on murdering us to."

Shrugging, he maintains his position at Rhesus's shoulder as he advances forward, shield ready.

Rhesus holds his hand in front of Clem in a rare moment of tacticilism.

"Hey there Clem, rather than risking you getting beat up like you always do, let's have Bibic there stick a few arrows through its eyes first."

Bibic will, pre-haste, take a few shots to soften the target. He relies on his golembane scarab to overcome DR. Also, if it's a surprise round, only the first attack goes off, at +2 to hit.

”Let’s see if it reacts to that!”

No Surprise.

Rhesus summons his primal anger and attempts to break free of the golem.

CMB: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (17) + 19 = 36

Per the rules Rhesus will then reverse the grapple and grapple the golem.

"I'll hold it here!"

I calculated full damage from the fireball, assuming no ref save and that spasi had targeted me again. If that is incorrect then I have 5 more HP and Clem has 15 more.

Clement holds back as Rhesus charges ahead to get embroiled with a golem. He targets his attention at the grey-skinned humanoids raining arrows upon them.

Cast wandering star motes. DC17 Will or dazed. Bounces around until someone fails the save.

I'll wait to factor in that damage taken, which will be 37 or 22 depending.

@Rhesus/Clem: Spasi should have been able to avoid you, the room is fairly big and the enemies he's targeting are using bows.

@Rhesus: I missed something, you take another 2d10 + 12 ⇒ (6, 4) + 12 = 22 damage as a consequence of being grappled.

The fireball explodes amid the archer, but two of them manage to dodge free of the flames. They have evasion Three of Bibics Arrows hit the golem.

Will saves: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 First archer hit by Clem's spell is dazed.

I'm running into a wall here, since Rhesus decided to grapple the construct, maybe you guys can double check my logic. 1. Since you can still do a full attack with light weapons when grappled and natural attacks are considered light weapons, the construct should be able to full attack Rhesus at a -2 penalty. 2. Since the golem has a the grab ability, he will get a free grapple attempt on Rhesus (which is mechanically reversing the grapple).

Does that sound right? Basically by reversing the grapple Rhesus just debuffed the golem.

The other 5 archers shoot at Clem, since Spasi is hiding.arrows bypass metal armor, so adjust AC accordingly

I think you have it right Fanguar, excepting the golem wouldn’t get a -2 on the grapple check (not that it matters).

Bibic continues to focus his attention on the golem, since his golembane scarab should over-power the creatures natural immunities (DR). He sees the damage Rhesus is taking, and tries to redouble his efforts. Sadly his best efforts fall a little flat as he only hits the one time. He wishes he had started his performance earlier, but doesn't want to take the time to begin it now...

"Well, it's not like I don't enjoy playing with my life and Rhesus's..."

Tending to his wounds, Clement opts to stop sharing harm with Rhesus, knowing he'll be able to repair both of them simultaneously should the skulks continue to aim for him over Spasi.

31 heal. 11-5=6/2=3R3C;19-5=14/2=7R7C;10R10C. 28 heal.

With the golem down Rhesus smacks a bow shooter guy.

Attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34
Damage: 2d6 + 22 ⇒ (6, 5) + 22 = 33

@Spasi: You shouldn't be, right?

No, I'm *not* alright. They are shooting at Spasi...trying to hurt him!! Nothing is alright!!

When Bibic's arrows slam in the mechanical man starts to hiss steam and shake violently before exploding in a hail of sharpnel.

Death burst: 12d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 6, 5, 6, 5, 4, 1, 4, 6, 2, 3) = 50 For sure hits Rhesus, plus anyone that is within 10 feet of Rhesus. DC18 ref for 1/2

Spasi's spell doesn't manage to drop the creature, but Rhesus rushes in to finish it off.

Two skulks drop their bows and come at Rhesus with swords (flank):
Attack vs Rhesus: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 2 = 28 Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (1, 6) = 13
Attack vs Rhesus: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 2 = 26

The remaining two continue to direct their spiritual weapon against Koriah,
Attack vs Koriah: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Attack vs Koriah: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24 but both miss,

and shoot arrows at Clem (arrows bypass metal armor):

Pew vs Clem: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16Damage?: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Pew vs Clem: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Koriah moves to help Rhesus:

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 4 + (3) = 17

Koriah: 107/142

Everyone is up.

Bibic smiles as the golem goes down, though the explosion takes him quite by surprise. He shifts his focus to the Skulks, targeting the most wounded if he can, the archers if he’s not sure.

Spasi flies back into the fight, happy that the golem is destroyed, maybe regretting not mentioning that it might explode.

He fires a magic missile at the skulks, trying to take one of the wounded ones down.

Looks like Clem's AC15 if the natural armor bonus counts. I imagine he's in the death burst too.

Reflex DC18: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

93-57=36hp.

Clement yelps as the metal man explodes upon him and Rhesus.

"You hit it THERE? You couldn't have hit it... less hard?!"

Dusting himself off, Clement realizes he doesn't have a ton of options for undoing Rhesus's latest destructive end-result other than bursting the lovely, holy energy that he's found he's so talented at unleashing.

Channel: 8d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 5, 1, 2, 6, 5, 4, 3) + 1 = 33

50-5=45/2=23R22C;13-5=8/2=4R4C;27R26C.

Rhesus shrugs off the shrapnel and damage with his usual acumen and ignorance, swinging at the bow shooters who have decided to become sword stabbers.

Attack: 1d20 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 20 + 2 = 40
Damage: 2d6 + 22 + 1 ⇒ (1, 6) + 22 + 1 = 30

Attack: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 15 + 2 = 26
Damage: 2d6 + 22 + 1 ⇒ (6, 1) + 22 + 1 = 30

Bibic and Spasi cut down a pair and the spiritual weapons fade with their deaths. Rhesus pulverizes another and lands a solid blow against the last remaining enemy.

With little hope of escape, the creature fights on in desperation:

Attack vs Rhesus: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 but misses.

Koriah slides up next to it and unleashes her blades upon the skulk:

Koriah: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20damage: 1d10 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 4 + (4) = 14
Koriah: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Koriah: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18damage: 1d10 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 4 + (2) = 16

Koriah: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25 damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Koriah: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Koriah: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

and in a spray of blood it falls to the ground, mingling its blood with that of its brethren. Combat over

#Lootz: +1 composite shortbow x6, 30 inubrix arrows. Inubrix also known as ghost iron, is a very soft metal, but it passes through metal and steel as if they did not exist. These arrows do less damage than normal (1d6) and are treated as if constantly broken, but ignore AC bonuses provided by metal armor and shields. Each is worth 250gp.

The adjacent room (B2) contains wooden tubs, stone vats, and all the equipment necessary to brew beer, including a large copper kettle and an enclosed cast-iron stove, both connected to the ceiling by wide metal pipes. This equipment has also been fitted with strange alchemical implements, presumably improvement designed by the priests of Nethys.

The double doors lead to a starway that leads back to the surface. This must be the main entrance that you avoided due to the presence of the mind trap.

Koriah throws a furious glare at Spasi, and picks at her singed clothing. "Watch where you aim your spells. That level of carelessness is going to end up with one of us dead."

Spasi smiles back.

I think she likes me.

In what is probably a surprise to all, Spasi has never understood women.

Bibic is surprised at Koriah’s skill, and says so, ”Nice blade work there Koriah, well done.”

Himself a little damaged, he casts a Cure Light Wounds to heal up the rest of the way.
CLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

He has no interest in their bows, but he does collect the arrows if no one objects, ”Dunno that I’ll use these much, they’re rather expensive. But in a pinch I suppose.”

He packs most of the inubrix arrows away, but puts a few in his quiver, he also gathers fresh arrows from his pack to his quiver.

Clem exhales as the last of their adversaries are dispatched and he no longer has to deal with scratches, punctures, and burns from a myriad of sources.

He pulls a couple arrows, these ones actually aimed at him, from their various locations.

"Those arrows.. it's like I wasn't even wearing armor."

Within seconds, he mends his own injuries using his own magic.

"Those guys almost had me worried. Almost."

Smacking Rhesus on the back, he restores his lifelink before kneeling to sort through the various items the skulks carried. As the group makes their way into the brewery, Clement grins.

"Oh, now this place I could get into."

Anything of note with the Nethysian enhancements here? Potion crafting?

Down 66hp.

Cure Critical X2: 8d8 + 22 ⇒ (7, 5, 7, 7, 2, 3, 3, 1) + 22 = 57

Spells Left Today: 1st - 7/7 | 2nd - 4/7 | 3rd - 5/7 | 4th - 3/6 | 5th - 4/4

Up to 126hp.

Spasi helps identify any treasure and notes with interest the unusual powers of the arrows.

"Should make a blade of that metal. Would cleave through knights like nothing. Ha. Armor has always been for fools."

Spasi, after his unnecessary commentary, is ready to move on.

Rhesus stretches, his hammer and hardy northern flesh once again proving proof against all threats, proverbial and actual.

"Nice work there Koriah. I was wrestling with that golem but I still had time to admire your form. Wish Spasi had a spell or two half so useful as you been."

Rhesus nods to Clem.

"You ok there buddy? Looks like they almost had you."

@Clem: The equipment is a pretty standard brewing and distillation gear. From what you can tell, the modification are just designed to improve the efficiency of the processes. Nothing here suggests that the equipment was used for any other purpose.

Koriah cleans her blades on a cloak of one fallen and grunts an acknowledgment of the complements. "That was a little sloppier than I would have liked in an engagement, but you all handled yourselves well."

When ready to leave, you head south.

The halway opens into a crossroads with a branch heading to the right towards a torchlit room, while torchlight also flickers from a room to the south. Direct to your right, the corridor opens up into a room (B3) featuring a twenty-foot-diameter circular cistern filled with water. A five-foot-wide walkway rings the cistern, while above, a single narrow hole leads up to the surface.

You can partly see B4 and B10 from where you are.

"That was a little sloppier than I would have liked in an engagement, but you all handled yourselves well."

"Yeah, we're pretty good 'Pathfinders'," Spasi agrees how awesome they all are.

Spasi examines the cistern with Detect Magic, then peers into B4 & B10.

"Either way is fine with me," Spasi says, floating in the air.

Bibic too ducks his head in and looks around, but only briefly. He focuses on the path ahead, and any threats that may manifest themselves. He follows Spasi.

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35

@Spasi: No detectable auras. The water is just water.

Bibic: I'm not sure which way you are looking, but for in both directions, you pick up some irregularities in the walls. You suspect that the there might be more skulks lying in wait in B4 and B10.

How about B4 then? I imagine we continue on and run into those skuls.

Clement nods as Bibic reports on the likeliness of further enemies ahead.

"You guys think there's anything we need in that room up there that can't survive a Spasi-ball?"

Spasi want to announce our coming to B4? Should be effective at bringing B10 to us a few rounds later?

"I'd be happy to send down a Spasi-special," Spasi agrees with Clem. "Maybe this way there will be less complaining about my amazing work at mastering magic." Spasi offers a wink at Koriah. "But maybe I'll be bring in a friend to help suck up some pain."

Spasi will cast Summon Monster IV and sends a Charging Rhino down into B4.

"I'll watch the other way. If they come from that way too, they'll get a Spasi Special for sure."

Spasi hopes Rhesus and Clem will follow the rhino into B4.

Bibic passes on what he discovers, and follows the rhino into B4, ready to shoot.

Rhesus shrugs.

"Nice not to be first."

He follows the rhino into the party pit.

Skulk vs Rhino: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20Damage: 1d4 + 3 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 3 + (5, 6) = 15

The rhino runs into the room and get mowed down by the Skulks lying in wait. The creature is dispatched, but it costs the the enemy their ambush.
