[ooc\ She did take out the crocogater :) [/ooc]
Fuzzzy |
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Fuzzzy has no idea what the troglodyte is doing next, but he's pretty sure it's a loooooong spell!
Fuzzzy points at the troglodyte. Then he stops and scratches his beard.
"Bobby? What's that spell again?"
Fuzzzy |
"Ah, yes!" Fuzzzy exclaims. Then he points at the troglodyte again. "RAY OF FROST!" I will also use Volatile Conduit to do +1d4 damage.
Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12
Cold Damage: 1d3 + 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + (1) + 1 = 3
Ruslo |
“Llorva I have a scroll of healing in the scroll case at my hip.” Scroll of cure light wounds level 1
Ruslo attacks the troglodyte.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11
Rumple Dergskin |
If the swarm is gone and the trog is still alive, then Rumple lopes up behind Fuzzy and tosses a flask over his head at the trog.
Alchemist Fire: 1d20 ⇒ 1
fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
RNG totally hates me!
miss. 1=north: 1d8 ⇒ 2
Ok, at least it didn't hit any of us! :P I guess it either hits the doorway or goes flying over the balcony
GM Nowruz |
LLorva, so no swarm damage from last round! :-)
round 3: 1d20 - 6 ⇒ (18) - 6 = 12
round 4: 1d20 - 7 ⇒ (12) - 7 = 5
round 5: 1d20 - 8 ⇒ (14) - 8 = 6
Llorva starts speaking with the bard Belanar when she realizes that he also is lying on the floor unconscious but obviously stable.
Fuzzy, Ruslo and Rumple unfortunately are not able to hit Tasskar.
Fuzzy 1, Llorva 2, Ruslo 3 (alphabetical): 1d3 ⇒ 1
Tasskar's spellcasting ends and you see a giant centepede appearing next to Fuzzy.
This lengthy, segmented horror writhes and twists, pulsing its venomous mandibles in search of prey.

Bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Bite damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
Tasskar steps back on the balcony and starts casting another spell and you see that a blade of pure flame appears in his hand.
Flame blade
"You will all die, believe me!" Tasskar cries out.

Fuzzzy |
Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Fuzzzy swings his sword at the centipede that is right beside him!
Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 - 2 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 - 2 = 3
Rumple Dergskin |
"Dude, chill with the fire already!"
If centipede is dead, Rumple runs up to the SW corner of the doorway and fires a ray of frost at the leader. Otherwise, he'll stay where he is and fire his ray at the centipede. Please move me if necessary
ray of frost: 1d20 ⇒ 16
cold damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2
Llorva |
Llovra know she's most effective when using her bow, so she takes a withdraw action and moves away from the centipede...all the while looking for a way to 'cut off' the spell casting troglodyte.
Withdraw action 2 move actions away from the centipede.
Ruslo |
Seeing the giant bug appear, Ruslo says “Nope, that’s not good.”
Ruslo is determined to stop the troglodyte from casting any more spells.
Ruslo desperately attacks the troglodyte.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 1 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9
Confirming a Critical: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10
Extra Damage: 3d6 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (6, 5, 2) + 12 + 3 = 28
If Ruslo does not have line of sight on the troglodyte, he will then ready an attack action for when he does have line of sight.
GM Nowruz |
Fuzzy's sword attack already injured the centipede but Rumple's ray gave it the rest and with a *plop* the summoned creature vanishes.
At the same time Ruslo moves forward a bit to be able to see Tasskar on the balcony and strikes him with a vicious attack.
"Ahhhhh .... nooooo ... you will ... eh ..." are the last words that you hear from the troglodyte as his broken body hits the ground.
COMBAT OVER!
Kwannon |
Hooray!
Ruslo |
Ruslo gives the troglodyte another good hit. "Believe this!"
"Here Llovra." Ruslo hands Llovra a scroll of cure light wounds.
Rumple Dergskin |
Rumple peers over the edge, frustrated that he cannot watch the trog leader die properly. "Everyone OK?" he asks afterwards. "What now? look for treasure? explore? toss the bard off the balcony...err.. I mean escort him home." He grins, "Just kidding. We'll get you home safe."
Fuzzzy |
Fuzzzy goes over to the dead troglodyte's body and asks it, "Can you teach me those spells?"
Bobby the Owl |
Bobby holds a wing up to his head. This time he does not bother correcting Fuzzzy.
Fuzzzy |
Fuzzzy eventually exclaims, "Ah! Must be all tuckered out! He's sleeping like the dead!"
Fuzzzy chuckles and looks around the room.
Fuzzzy |
"Ah, yes! There's more rooms to explore! Come along then! This will be fun!"
Fuzzzy wants to keep exploring.
Kwannon |
Regaining her senses the magus looks around We have accomplished our mission, we should return home before the wizard runs off again
Llorva |
Llovra uses the scroll to heal the erstwhile Bard..assume I don't need to roll ... I'm am grateful to the Gods no one has perished on this perilous mission. I'm also blessed to have met such fine and worthy Pathfinders such as yourselves. It seems I've made the right choice in joining The Society, if all of it's members posses such courage as you my fine companions! Llovra's smile is genuine as she ministers to those in need.
Ruslo |
"Ha!" Ruslo is amused by Rumple.
"Yes, the old man does seem to have to have some strange tendencies."
"Where do you think he got a crocodile?" Ruslo picks up the crocodile corpse
"Hey old man. We need to get Belanar back to the bossman."
GM Nowruz |
You as a group celebrate your victory and are very relieved that the battle is now over!
The spell that Llorva casts from the scroll revives Belanar.
"Oh god, I am so happy that we are all alive! I really believed that this was our end! I am happy to accompany you to explore the rest of the tower but I am very weak ... but I came here to be the first!"
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
You search the room and look around finding: a masterwork short sword, 15 cold iron shurikens, two flasks of acid, a potion of cat’s grace, a potion of lesser restoration, a wand of summon monster I (CL 3rd, 9 charges), an amethyst worth 100 gp, and 247 gp in assorted coins.
You also find a holy symbol that after some thinking and support by Belanar you recognize as the holy symbol of Zevgavizeb, a truly hideous monster, even in the Abyss, he is part reptile, part bat, and part overgrown worm.
Zevgavizeb's troglodyte and other worshippers live in mortal terror of his hunger, sacrificing countless victims to appease him. Because he cares little for his flock, the worship of Zevgavizeb is generally disorganized and only consists of superstitious traditions, crude rock drawings, and ancient tales told over cold meals in the dark. There have been rumors that a more structured priest class among the troglodytes does exist, but these tales have yet to be substantiated.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Llorva, Ruslo and Kwannon decide to accompany Belanar back to the Grand Lodge so Rumple and Fuzzy just take a quick peek into the room on the second floor of the tower.
Second Floor
Two stone altars, one black and one white, sit at either end of this large chamber, which takes up two wings of the tower on this level.
The crumbling remains of wooden benches sag in front of each altar beneath rotting ceiling tapestries. Carved symbols and writings snake along the walls. The burnt corpses of two troglodytes lie on the floor in the center of the room.
After some thinking you understand that this room served as a temple dedicated to Nethys, the god of magic, in both of his aspects: protection and destruction. The writings on the walls are quotes from Nethys’s holy book.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
You then pack everything that you found and return to Absolom.
GM Nowruz |
Grand Lodge
Venture Captain Adril Hestram welcomes you and Belanar back. Adril is really surprised that you faced to so much resistance.
"Rumple, Fuzzy, Bobby, Ruslo, Llorva and Kwannon, I am really proud of you! What you achieved is beyond what I would expect of a team that just started its career. You found Belanar and rescued him alive! And you were able to stop a cult to an evil god!" he says smiling.
He looks at all of you again and continues "With the defeat of Tasskar and his troglodytes, the Fallen Fortress stands abandoned once more, but it’s only a matter of time before something else moves into the damaged siege tower and poses a new threat — we need to the inform the authorities and even might have to send our own team."
Belanar has recovered a little and he starts speaking "Venture-Captain, these Pathfinders were really brave and if they would not have rescued me I would be dead now."
He remains silent for a moment and the thought obviously is terrifying for him. "These Pathfinders are role models for the
Society, and will be great assets for our organization of explorers, archaeologists, and adventurers."
Kwannon |
We have done our part. Now, the subject of payment. she says matter of factly
Fuzzzy |
Fuzzzy smiles. "Oh, thank you, thank you! Now, where are these cookies strange dwarf man?"
Ruslo |
Ruslo feeds some rations to Bobby the owl and pats Bobby on the head.
"If the old man ever needs help you let me know." Ruslo whispers to Bobby.
"Yup, we did pretty darn good. Hey crew?"
"I'm thinking that I'll have some nice boots made." Ruslo nudges the crocodile corpse with his foot.
Fuzzzy |
Fuzzzy says, "Oh, don't be silly, Bobby! I never get in trouble!" Looking at Ruslo, Fuzzzy explains, "He says he will call on you if I'm ever in trouble! Ahahaha! What could a boot maker do to help me? I wear sandals!"
He looks at his feet. "I am wrong. I am wearing boots. Perhaps you can help me!"
Kwannon |
She goes to the bar and asks for a beer.
Kwannon |
This was fun!
