GM Ietsuna's 4-07 Severing Ties (Standard) (Inactive)

Game Master Ietsuna

Avasir's ray strikes the enemy, but does not seem to have any effect.

Syl'las runs around the hallway, trying to make her way to her fallen ally.

Double move

Umm...looking back, I don't see a check to ID this thing listed. Is there one?

Yes, there is. Sorry missed that too. Not having a good run am I. See below Vladamir and anyone else interested.

knowledge(arcana): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Vladamir shares all knowledge gained with the group.

This is a Stone Sentry Golem. It has construct traits (Constructs are immune to death effects, disease, mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects), necromancy effects, paralysis, poison, sleep, stun, and any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects, or is harmless). Constructs are not subject to nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, or energy drain. Constructs are not at risk of death from massive damage.)

Correction, Stone Guardian Golem.

Sejanus takes a step forward and swings at the stone golem with zir guisarme.

Guisarme: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 6 = 10

Invisible throws a shuriken, but it again flies wide.

Sejanus' guisrame swings and chips the golem.

In retaliation the golem moves up to Sejanus and slams.

Slam: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26 Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Avasir
Syl'las
Sejanus (-13, Unconscious)

Sorry guys.

Avasir sprints away to the opposite side of the corridor, near Invisible.

I don't think flames will do the trick here... I think I'm left trying physical harm.

He throws his sword at the golem....

Masterwork cold iron longsword attack, hand of the apprentice: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

The golem notices just in time to dodge out of the way, causing the sword to clang against the opposite wall before returning to the elf's hand.

Although somehow still on her feet despite the statue's bone-crushing blow, Lirianne has no choice but to retreat around the corner as she hastily tries to think of a plan!

Move action to present location.

I forgot to apply Lirianne's "Killer" trait to her crit, would would do an extra 4 points of damage. It's completely my fault, so I understand if I've missed my chance to have it factored in. Sorry guys!

Vladamir takes a 5' step back and fires another Arcane Bolt...

ranged Touch attack vs. statue: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 1 = 19
possible Force damage vs. statue: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

...then he throws his backpack behind him and calls out..."Four cure light wound potions in there, use as needed."

Invisible moves closer to statue and tries to hit with wakizashi.

to hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

"Invisible, move onto the other side" Syl'las yells out she approaches the golem.

Her kukri in her hand and attempts to slash the statue.
Combat Expertise-AC 17

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Avasir throws the weapon at the statue, but it flies wide and misses.

Lirianne retreats.

Vladamir strikes with another bolt of force, further damaging the statue.

Invisible and Syl'las both miss with their attacks.

The statue turns its attention to Syl'las and slams.

Slam: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Combat Round 3/4 - Bold May Act

Invisible
Vladamir
Lirianne (-13, Disabled)
Statue (-36)
Avasir
Syl'las (-8)
Sejanus (-13, Unconscious)

"Syl'las, I see your point!"

Invisible makes a step (5ft) in other side and strikes again.

To hit - flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 2 = 17
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Lirianne reloads, gritting her teeth as stabs of pain shoot through her body with every breath.

Vladamir takes a 5' step and casts another Arcane Bolt..

Arcane Bolt(SP); applying point-blank and precise shot feats. Not adjusting for possible cover.

range Touch attack: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 1 = 12
possible Force damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

"Liranne, get some of those potions out of my bag. Take one and give another to Sejanus, please."

With Invisible and Vladamir hitting the golem it falls unmoving, apparently defeated and intert.

Combat over

"Good work Invisible, Vladamir. Moving on..."

Avasir heads back to the far corridor and inspects the next door.

Perception, traps: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Cast Detect Magic, scan door
Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Vladamir get his backpack, pulls out two cure light wound potions. He hands one to Liranne and pours the other down Sejanus' throat.

CLW potion vs. Sejanus: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Avasir looks into the room. This room contains several mats and low beds. The walls of this room are deeply carved with jagged runic symbols. A small table sports a large brick of burning incense, but the incense’s heavy scent does not quite disguise an underlying sharp smell.

Invisible follows Avasir.
He looks the door.

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Sejanus sputters as ze comes too. Looking around ze asks “What happened?”
Upon realising how ze ended up on the ground, the squire licks the last of the potion off zir lips and gets to zir feet.
“Thank you, Vladamir.”

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Avasir eyes the brick of incense but no specific detail stands out in the room.

"What else is this covering up?"

knowledge local: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

"This location is very close to a gas forge." She looks at the walls with the carvings into them. "Maybe, that is where the smell is coming from."

She looks at the stronger party members, "Anyone want to give me a hand here. Maybe we can gas them out of their hide out". She then takes her kukri and attempts to dig the carvings deeper.

Lirianne thanks Vladamir for the healing potion and promises to pay him back one day. She chugs it down.

Cure Light Wounds Potion: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

She then peeks into the room where Avasir and Syl'las are.

Knowledge (Engineering): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

"I reckon we better be careful. Y'all might not realize it, but that there's carbauxine gas. I recognize it from the foundries back in ol' Alkenstar. Kills ya right dead, iffin ya sniff too much of it. 'Spose we could take this bead with us though--maybe it's worth sumptin?" She pulls out a single prayer bead hidden under one of the mats.

"I have two more potions if needed. Does anyone else have anything to help heal?"

Vladamir looks over the symbols to see if they are familiar. He speaks: abyssal, celestial, common, draconic, elven, sylvan, varisian.

linguistics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

"I have a healing wand if it helps, and you don't mind being whacked 15 times per use.." He trails off sheepishly, remembering the last time.

You hear stone hitting stone in a rhythmic fashion. It is getting slowly closer.

What direction is the sound coming from? Does it sound like the statue did?

It is the sound of the gas works coming through the widened crack.

"Please call out if you are still hurt so Avasir can heal you. I don't want anyone to die if we can help it."

Vladamir starts searching the wall where the runes are looking for some sort of entrance.

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

"There has to be a way into there somewhere."

The gas is slowly entering this room making it smell more sharply than it did when you first arrived.

She looks at the stronger party members, "Anyone want to give me a hand here. Maybe we can gas them out of their hide out". She then takes her kukri and attempts to dig the carvings deeper.

”Sejanus, Lirianne, could you help Syl’las give a push. We probably need to hurry setting this in motion and then get out, fast.”

Lirianne pipes up. "Folks, I dunno if we oughtta push this much further. Sabotage is the goal, not gassin' the poor bastards ta death in their sleep. Not everyone recognizes carbauxine like me and my sniffer. Not ta mention, I can't remember if the gas is flammable or not. I better keep my piece holstered, just in case. But Avasir, I would kindly submit myself to that healin' stick of yourn."

"I could use a few whacks with that wand too, Avasir" Sejanus calls out.
"Just go a bit more gentle on us than those tieflings were going on the poor folk in the front room, hey?"

Chuckling at zir own joke, Sejanus steps forward and tries to help Sy'las break throuh the wall.
Strength: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

"Oh, yes"

Avasir walks over and starts to tap Lirianne with his wand of healing.

"Okay, looks like you've got more wounds..."

Avasir frowns at that last attempt. "I don't think I can do this any more today."

Due to natural 1, he's locked out of it for 24h.

"Maybe someone else is better at this than me."

He holds up the wand for someone else to try.

Feel free to use it if you can. I'll mark off the necessary charges that you use.

Afraid I don't have UMD trained.

"Where to next? Perhaps we should figure out where the statue came from"

"If we want to know where the statue came from, we should go north!"

Invisible enters the room on the north.

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Avasir follows Invisible as immediate backup.

Invisible and Avasir look at the northern room.

The centerpiece of this stark stone chamber is a low stone dais designed to display a statue. A black sheet painted with a seven-pointed rune hangs before the southern exit. The western exit is a set of doors consisting of iron bars an inch in diameter and six inches apart, like those of a cage.

The rune is just the holy symbol of Lissala. Nothing surprising there, except it's funny how often they have to be reminded...

He peers through the bars at the western exit...

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

This cavernous stone chamber may have once been an underground amphitheater. Heavy black curtains painted with a seven-pointed rune obscure a complete view, but steep stairs and rows of stone benches descend into a central pit. Pounding drums and the rhythmic chanting of dozens of voices reverberate throughout this chamber.

Within the chamber twenty-two priests watch on in awe as the Lashmistress performs miraculous feats of magic. Rainbow colours lights move through the chamber and the Lashmistress turns into a being of fire.

Avasir holds up his left hand and motions for the others to come see this while he continues to observe the... situation.

Spellcraft, rainbow lights: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Spellcraft, fiery body: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Invisible comes closer.

spellcraft(rainbow lights): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
spellcraft(fiery body): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Vladamir whispers what he learns to the others.

Lirianne whispers to the others. "I ain't never seen the like. But I do know I ain't wanna get two dozen angry churchfolk tryin' ta chase me down and fit me for a hemp rope collar. So's 'less we got more sabotagin' to do, I reckon we call it a day."

Or we interrupt the whole thing in the name of the Consortium Syl'las says winking at her gun wielding friend.
