GM Ladile & the Pathfinder Society Present: Solstice Scar Session #2 CORE (Tier 5-6) (Inactive)

Spell & AoE Templates

Aid Tokens:

During the event, it is possible for characters at one table to assist those at another with Aid Tokens. Each represents the assistance of allied Pathfinder agents who assist the PCs.
Once per encounter, any character at a table can use an Aid Token to assist the group in one of the ways described below. Once a table uses an Aid Token, one of the players then passes the Aid Token to a neighboring table for them to use. A table can only benefit from one token per encounter. Because there are a limited number of Aid Tokens, hoarding one means that somebody else doesn’t get to use it.

If a table receives an Aid Token and doesn’t need its benefits, they’re encouraged to boost its potency by expending some of their own resources or attempting a skill check. Boosting an Aid Token, including attempting a skill check, is part of passing that Aid Token to another table. A table can neither retry such a skill check nor boost an Aid Token more than once before passing it to another table. A table may boost a token even while in combat without taking any in-round actions; the scenario assumes the aid was granted before that encounter began. Using a boosted effect consumes the boost.

Some Aid Token benefits may only be used if already boosted by another table. An Aid Token’s benefits vary based on the table’s subtier, and these benefits can take one of the following forms:

Allied Offensive: A Pathfinder agent strikes a creature at the same time as the PC, increasing the damage dealt by one attack by 1d8 points. In addition, after the attack, anyone attacking the target is considered to be flanking it until the beginning of the attacker’s next turn. To Boost: Succeed at an attack roll against an AC equal to an Average skill check. Boosted Effect: +1d8 points of damage.

Burst of Healing: A Pathfinder agent heals all of the PCs of 1d6 points of damage. To Boost: Expend one use of channel positive energy or cast one spell with the healing descriptor with a spell level greater than or equal to your APL/2, rounded up. A PC must cast this spell, not simply activate a wand or scroll. Boosted Effect: +2d6 points of damage healed.

Timely Inspiration: A Pathfinder agent provides the effects of a bard’s inspire courage bardic performance for 3 rounds. In Subtiers 1–2 and 3–4, the competence bonus is +1. To Boost: Expend 3 rounds of bardic performance or similar ability. Boosted Effect: Increase the competence bonus by 1.

Provide Knowledge (must be boosted): Gain the benefits of a Knowledge skill check or Spellcraft skill check used to identify a magical item; the type and difficulty (Easy, Average or Hard) depend on the table granting the benefit. To Boost: Succeed at a Knowledge check of your choice, the result of the check (Easy, Average or Hard) should be noted on the Aid Token.

Provide Spellcasting (must be boosted): Gain the benefits of a beneficial spell cast by an ally as listed on the Aid Token. To Boost: Cast one of the following spells and note your PC’s name and caster level on the Aid Token: lesser restoration, neutralize poison, remove curse, or remove disease. Only these spells may be granted. Expending resources that produce the effects of these spells, such as a paladin’s mercy class feature, may also grant these benefits.

Fey Allies:

All PCs and companion creatures gain a single-use benefit they can use during Part 4. As a free action on its turn, a creature can use its benefit to gain either DR/1 or cold resistance 3 until the end of that encounter. Each PC and companion creature can select a different benefit.

Season of Ghosts

With one of the threats on the ground floor cleared, the group makes their way back towards the main entrance of the museum and peer into the open room to the west. Long shadows cast by ruined displays and broken furniture litter the floor. A humanoid-shaped figure made of shattered clockwork lies slumped over a bench. Above, an elaborately painted sign reads "Crusader's Chronicles".

To your surprise, you see a majestic tiger standing in the middle of the room - regarding the group intently. Its coat shining vividly, the tiger looks exotic and otherworldly and stands calmly before you, as though fearless.

"হ্যালো, Blakros যাদুঘর দর্শক।," it rumbles in greeting. "আপনি এই সব মাহমুদ কারণ?"

Sylvan:

"Hello, visitors to the Blakros Museum."

"Are you the cause of all this mayhem?"

Kn. Arcana (DC 18):

You're speaking to an especially powerful-looking (advanced template) dweomercat, a creature of the First World that hunts new and strange sources of magic.

For every 5 that you beat the DC, you may ask for one piece of information from this list.

Evarice pulls out a scroll. Of Tongues.

CL check, DC 7: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

It burns up in her hands and she listens to the creature repeat its request.

"Ah, it's asking if we caused all of this mayhem." Evarice clears her throat.

Sylvan:

"Greetings. We've been sent to clear up all of this mayhem. Do you know what caused it? We already say a corpse down the hall, wearing furs and blood. My name is Evarice, and I am part of the Pathfinder Society."

He is nervously watching to see what happens to Evarice and moves closer to her.

Not that it mattered but when grappled you are at -4 Dex so -2 on Reflex saves. The grease no doubt sped things along.

Rogar moves slightly closer during the conversation "Is it a friend or foe?"

"Try not to cast anything...Have you not noticed..most of us rely on magic." Jinsa slowly puts his want back. "Hopefully Evarice can keep it calm."
Season of Ghosts

Nothing to See:

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

"হুম ... তাই কি?" the dweomercat replies, pacing lazily back and forth across the floor...and yet, its eyes remain narrowed as it address Evarice and the rest of the group. "আমার মনে হয় যে জাদুঘরে অচেনা এই জন্য দায়ী...এই মৃত মানুষ আউট যে কোন কর্মচারী বা আমার নিয়োগকর্তার অতিথি ছিল হিসাবে দেখতে হিসাবে।."

Suddenly, the creature stops. "আপনি ভালভাবে কথা বলতে - আমার মাতৃভাষা, কোন কম। কিন্তু কিভাবে আমি জানি যে আপনি এবং আপনার বন্ধু এখানে এই পাগলামি অংশ না? আপনার খ্যাতি আপনি আগে, Pathfinders... যেখানে আপনি যান, বিশৃঙ্খলা সবসময় অনুসরণ মনে হয়।," it remarks, slowly offering what seems to be an approximation of a smile...baring large, sharp teeth.

Sylvan:

"Hmm...is that so?"

"Seems to me that strangers to the museum are responsible for this...seeing as how that dead man out there was no employee or guest of my employer."

"You talk nicely - in my mother tongue, no less. But how do I know that you and your friends here aren't part of this madness? Your reputation precedes you, Pathfinders...where you go, chaos always seems to follow."

Sense Motive (DC 10):

Evarice addressing the dweomercat respectfully and in its own tongue seems to have earned the group some brownie points but it's not quite convinced of the group's innocence yet...and those bared teeth are definitely a threat.

Evarice nods.

Sylvan:
"What you say makes sense. While we sometimes lead to chaos, we often as not clean up the chaos we see. Let my allies speak so you may know the truth of my words."

"It doesn't trust us, yet. I've said all that I could- perhaps you can assist me on some diplomacy?" She looks at her allies. "It thinks we're also thieves, but it's willing to hear us out some more."

"Yes talk if it means no fight. But talk fast. There are threats to the museum still to deal with."

Polanco laughs along with Rogar and pours some Mwangi Pale Ale into his mess kit's bowl and slides it close to the cat

Would a robber offer you some of his fine ale from halways across the world? 'Sides you know wae be Pathfinders ya - we werk with Nigel all t' time. What were these lads with the furs up to? Dey wreckin' the place?

Season of Ghosts

Nothing to See:

P. Diplomacy (Aid): 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (17) - 2 = 15
S. Diplomacy (Aid): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14

The dweomercat sniffs at the alcoholic offering...and then suddenly laughs. But it's a genuine laugh and the undercurrent of malice in its stance at last drains away.

"I guess you're right! I've never seen a robber or troublemaker yet who'd offer to sit down and share a drink with a potential foe," the cat responds, now switching to Common. "You'll have to forgive me for the display just now - doing my job and all. But you seem like you're here to help so I'll tell you what I can."

The dweomercat nods towards the central chamber where you fought the owlbear mascot. "I didn't actually see that fur-wearing fellow break in but I'm guessing he and anyone else that might've been with him are responsible for the ruckus. But it's hard to say since I've not seen anyone else in here until you lot arrived."

"Things are really out of sorts, though," he continues as he pads over behind a display and begins swatting and batting what looks to be a round metal object towards you; it bangs and clangs against the hardwood floor and makes quite a bit of noise. Upon closer inspection, it looks to be a metal head, broken gears and springs sticking out of the neck. "Nigel keeps clockworks up on the second floor for pretty much the same reason I patrol down here on the first floor. But whatever's going on, it's damaged them in some way because this one took me for an intruder. Irritating but also fascinating, in a way - I never really understood how they're set up to tell the difference between friend and foe. Maybe it's the wards...?" the dweomercat muses.

Noticing that some of you seem slightly confused by his last statement, the dweomercat chuckles. "Nigel also rigged magical wards outside of the museum. If I remember right, they're supposed to just neutralize intruders so they can be turned over to the authorities. But it could be that whoever or whatever set them off damaged or altered their properties...and if the wards are acting screwy then who knows what it's done to everything else?"

"Anyway, that's about all I can tell you, I'm afraid. If you're here on Nigel's behalf then I won't stop you if you want to keep looking around," the great cat concludes. Then, he bends down and laps a little at the Pale Ale in the bowl. "Mm...it's not magical energy but it's not bad, either. You should come back later, once everything's sorted out here...we can ah, 'discuss' the merits of your alcoholic beverages further," he grins.

All right, you've cleared the ground floor by defeating the animated mascot and talking your way out of a fight with the dweomercat! Up the stairs to the clockworks or do you want to venture outside and check out the wards?

"Thank you. I am glad we could come to an understanding." Evarice bows. "Maybe later we can talk about the finer points of automated guardians."

She turns towards her companions. "Let's head upstairs, I say. I don't have many tools to fight swarms- I can block them but not fight them."

I have literally never fought the dweomercat in 5 runs of this

Polanco screws the cap back onto his growler and grins at the cat Oi, ya there be an awful lot to debate there, kittae. Lotso nuance and such yup yup Polanco stutters a bit and gives a conspiratorial nod to the cat Discussion could last til the small hours it could.

He then chomps a cigar and heads up the steps.

One of my GMs didn't even introduce talking as an option. The cat ambushed us using Pounce because the GM misunderstood one of it's abilities.
Season of Ghosts

With the ground floor secured, you all ready yourselves and head up a set of nearby stairs that leads to the museum's second floor. "Have fun playing with the clockworks!" the dweomercat calls out cheerfully as you go.

Upon reaching the second floor you can see that gears, glass, and chunks of wax litter the polished wood floor under a sign that proclaims 'Scars of the Lich.' The corpse of what appears to be a Kellid warrior lies in a pool of blood, her furs soaked through. A constant ticking and whirring sound echoes in this area. As the sound of your footsteps reverberate throughout this upper floor, two clockwork constructs come trundling around the corner. Cogs and gears are visible between the gaps of their metallic armor and each one holds a halberd.

*Bzzzt* "NO VISITORS PERMITTED AFTER CLOSING TIME," one of them states in a robotic monotone voice. "VISITORS HAVE 60 SECONDS TO VACATE THE PREMISES BEFORE VISITOR REMOVAL PROTOCOL IS ENGAGED. 60...59...58..."*bzzt-krssh*"...ERROR: VISITOR REMOVAL PROTOCOL NOT FOUND, REVERT TO PEST REMOVAL PROTOCOL.

Both Yen and Silgil recognize the constructs as clockwork soldiers but aren't able to recall any other useful information right off the bat. Undeterred and fearless Rogar advances on one of the clockworks, pulling out his kama as he goes. As he steps up to it he swings it around and sweeps the construct off of its feet, sending it tumbling to the ground with a loud *BANG*!

*Bzzt-krsshhh*"INTRUDER-"*kzzzt*"WELCOME TO THE BLAKROS MUSE-"*Zzzzt* the Red clockwork intones as it flails on its back for a moment before rising to its feet, taking a blow from Rogar's kama as it does so. The weapon cuts through the construct's metal frame with a cringe-inducing *CLANG-SCREEEE*!

Now on its feet, Red swings its halberd at the slippery monk...

Attack vs. Rogar: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26

...but only manages to shave a few hairs off of his magnificent beard. Meanwhile, Purple trundles forward towards Radagast and Fluffy but isn't quite able to close the distance.

Silgil casts a DC 18 spiked pit under purple figuring, at the very least, it will be trapped on the other side for a while.

"Don't get too close to that pit! The sides are sloped and you may find yourself joining the thing at the bottom if you do."

***OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT***

A high-pitched buzz pervades the museum, rising in frequency to the point of being inaudible. A moment later, a rolling boom echoes through the museum like thunder, and the glowing wards around the museum begin to fade.

@Table GMs: The “Failing Wards” condition on page 9 is now in effect.

Ey lads n lassies, these be clockwork guardians, and a pretty penny they moost have cost Nigel tae boot.

He then informs the party of any weaknesses it may have.

As for himself, he keeps things simple. He draws the terbutje and rushes the clockwork with Radagast DWARF BASH TIME

Deciding to stand back and let her companions take care of the clockworks, Evarice casts a protective spell on Fluffy before he's sent out into combat again. Silgil then decides to divide and conquer, summoning a pit of spikes underneath Purple!

Purple Reflex: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 - 1 = 18

Surprisingly agile for a hunk of junk, the clockwork manages to just barely step backward in time to avoid tumbling into the pit.

*Bzzt* "SURFACE FAILURE DETECTED, STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY COMPROMI-" *Crackle*

Meanwhile, Polanco moves up to join Rogar in fighting against Red. As he does, he waxes nostalgic about his early days of being forcibly removed from various premises and about the weaknesses of clockwork constructs. Or rather, weakness. He recalls that such things are quite susceptible to electrical currents; perhaps something that one of his robed companions can provide?

But not content with just chatting, Polanco also hauls off and gives Red a good smack with his wooden TAIR-BOOT-YAY. A loud and rather comical *BONG* sound echoes through the room as the blow knocks some gears loose - not as many as the dwarf was expecting but still enough to be noticeable.

"I think it is broken. But dangerous so..."

Rogar will take a 5ft step then full attack.

Starting by trying to trip it.
improved trip: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
If that failed by 10 or more Rogar drops the kama and some things will have to be retconned. But I'll continue just assuming it failed.

Rogar tries again to trip it.
improved trip: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
...

Rogar gives up on tripping it for the moment and just attacks it.
kama attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
slashing/adamantium dmg: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

And he spends a ki point to try tripping it one more time.
improved trip: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

aoo if it stands:

kama attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
slashing/adamantium dmg: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Double move.

"Come on you metal bastard. I am waiting." He says as he draws and activates his wand.

wand of MM: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Season of Ghosts

While Radagast and Fluffy hustle forward to get in on the action, Yen blasts Purple (you didn't designate but I'm assuming Purple, correct me if I'm wrong) with his wand - because when in doubt, missiles are almost always a good idea!

Determined to make Red continue to dance Rogar once more attempts to trip the clockwork - but just as he does, Red kicks one of its legs and knocks the kama out of the dwarf's hands!

Alas, even with Failing Wards in effect, that did fail by more than 10. Feel free to retcon if you want to try picking it up or pulling a different weapon.

Unable to cross the pit in front of it Purple turns and begins trundling back the way it came and heads towards Radagast, the druid clearly in its sights.

*Kzzt* "INTRUDER ALERT! RESISTANCE IS FU-" *Ksssh*

Red, now with two pests in immediate reach, swings its shiny halberd first at Rogar and then at Polanco...

Red vs. Rogar: 1d20 + 18 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 18 - 1 = 30
Damage: 1d10 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24

Red vs. Polanco: 1d20 + 13 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 13 - 1 = 23

While Polanco manages to duck away from Red's attack, Rogar is not so lucky - even with his magical protections he suffers a painfully powerful slash across his abdomen!

*Crackle* "YOU WILL BE ESCORTED OFF THE PREM-" *Zzt* "ERROR...YOU WILL BE ELIMINATED."

Rogar, go ahead and post the rest of your actions for the previous round when you post for the current round. Also, we currently have an Aid Token! Let me know if you want to use it or pass it on!

Radagast steps across, and swings at the construct, whilst Fluffy trundles forward, and tries to bite it!

MW Cold Iron Scythe: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17, for 2d4 + 9 ⇒ (1, 1) + 9 = 11 damage.

Bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26, for 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 damage.

To simplify things I'll keep my rolls and call the rest unarmed attacks. So 1 hit with unarmed strike.
blugoning/magic/silver/cold iron/ghost touch dmg: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Since he feels his attacks without his weapon will deal very little damage Rogar uses a swift action to increase his AC. A move action to pick up his kama provoking an aoo. He then takes a 5ft step and attacks.
kama: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
slashing/adamantium dmg: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Polanco continues to engage with the clockwork guardian.

Aye, lessen 'ere we were in-vited guests!

TAIR BOOT YAY Power Attack: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 13 - 2 = 301d8 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 4 = 15

Season of Ghosts

Hearing the clockwork approaching from behind them, Radagast and Fluffy both turn and move to bring the fight to Purple. Radagast swings his scythe, catching only air, but Fluffy the Fierce actually manages to clamp his beak down on Purple's arm and bend the metal a bit!

Close by, Rogar follows up his barehanded punch by bolstering his defenses and reaching down to retrieve his dropped kama. Red takes advantage of the dwarf's lowered guard and swings...

AoO vs. Rogar: 1d20 + 18 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 18 - 1 = 32
Damage: 1d10 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

...carving another hunk of flesh from his body! But Rogar is fearless and shifts slightly to the side, striking back with his kama, but sadly misses the mark.

Seeing his companion's struggles Polanco winds up and delivers a massive strike with the Paddle, showering Rogar with springs and cogs! But Red keeps ticking on...albeit looking very much worse for the wear at this point, seemingly ready to fall apart.

Silgil trundles forward, annoyed that the pit did not take out the purple construct, muttering as he goes. He aims 'old faithful', his wand of magic missile at red and zaps it lightly.

With her companions so far away, Evarice double moves ahead, drawing her longbow as she advances.
Season of Ghosts

As Evarice moves up to help her companions, Silgil - not to be outdone by Yen - draws his wand and blasts Red. Although it seems like it only leaves a small dent, it's enough. Red freezes up and then slowly, ever so slowly, it tumbles over like a felled tree.

Yen moves through the cooridor, wand out at the ready. double move
Season of Ghosts

As Yen also moves up to get a better view of the fighting Purple continues its one-clockwork crusade of trying eliminate the intruders, swinging at Radagast and then at Fluffy the Fierce...

Attack vs. Fluffy: 1d20 + 18 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 18 - 1 = 33
Damage: 1d10 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Attack vs. Radagast: 1d20 + 13 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 13 - 1 = 23
Damage: 1d10 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24

...and gives them both some pain for their trouble! Thanks to Evarice's forethought, Fluffy suffers less from the clockwork's strike than he normally would have, some of the pain transferring instead to the elven woman.

Sensing that victory is within the group's grasp, Evarice channels the power of Shelyn to mend some of her companions' wounds. Not one to give up easily, Radagast and Fluffy continue to slash, bite, and pummel the remaining clockwork, leaving numerous gouges and holes in its metal skin!

Polanco and Silgil move forward, hoping to maneuver into favorable firing and tin-can-beating positions. And Rogar decides to make things even easier for his companions, stepping up and just barely managing to sweep the errant clockwork off of its feet!

Engaging Yen Bot Protocol

While Yen falls back to maintain a respectable distance from Purple - and to allow his more action-oriented friends room to maneuver - he does take aim with his wand and fire another missile!

Normally I don't bot players using consumable resources unless directed or given permission, but given Yen's previous combat actions it seemed a relatively safe bet to do so in this case.
