GM Rinaldo's Eyes of the Ten 2018 (Inactive)

Game Master The Great Rinaldo!

Kirrah swipes again at the running man.

AOO +1 claw, Bard/Bof, Haste: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 16 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 36 for dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 2 = 12

And she will followup with her full attack if he is still standing.

+1 Bite, haste, Bard/Bof: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 15 + 1 + 4 = 27 damage : 1d8 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 = 17
+1 Claw, haste, Bard/Bof: 1d20 + 16 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 16 + 1 + 4 = 33 damage : 1d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 = 14
+1 Claw, haste, Bard/Bof: 1d20 + 16 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 16 + 1 + 4 = 35 damage : 1d6 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 2 = 16
+1 Bite, haste, Bard/Bof: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 15 + 1 + 4 = 31 damage : 1d8 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 2 = 19

Hrrmmm. Marta, where did it go?

DC 19 Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

"Don;t sweat it. I assure you, you would rather not see it anyway."

Marta listens for the Medusa, trying to figure out where she went, body ready to move at a moment's notice.

Perception: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (1) + 25 = 26

Fendahl will wait to see if the warrior survives Kirrah before attacking the poor sod, or something else.

Fendahl looks around for the missing creature.

Also, is Luisila back now or does she still need to be botted?

Not back yet, but I understand you are having a busy week, Fendahl.

You are welcome to keep playing Mystery Lady if you get to her before I do :)

Spellcraft DC 19: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Luisila delays until just before the party's enemies go.

"Vladek, can you or Myrdon determine what the medusa just did?"

If the naga's strength bonus is +5, it would never be able to break out of the icy prison (DC27), right?

The medusa can't be invisible right? The glitterdust would still stick to her?

"No, Luisila, I'm afraid not," Myrdon replies in frustration. "Lady Azata, you are the only one who can see! Please look for her! Aegis... just... just keep your eyes closed and wait there!"

Myrdon flies out of the area of the entanglement, keeping his eyes closed, ready to throw a extradimensional pit under the medusa should she reveal her location.

Ready action to cast create pit (ref DC22) should we find out where she is. Since the spell targets an area and not a creature, would he be able to cast it without looking?

---
The azata nods in reply and flies through the air, hunting for the elusive medusa, first scouting the ruins to the north, before turning to the south.

Azata has 70ft movement, and move approximately the path as marked. If she spots the medusa, she'll head towards it. If she still has her action left, she'll attack.

+1 longsword, IC, high ground: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 2 + 1 = 25 dmg: 2d6 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 8 + 2 = 16

Azata (5/12): AC:20 T:12 FF:17 | HP: 47/73 | Immune electricity, petrification, poison; Resist cold 10, fire 10

Aegis is curious as to how the snake woman suddenly is no longer in its grasps and almost opens its eyes. Thankfully, its master's warning came in time and so it just stands there, waiting.

Aegis can't do much so just delay.

Kirrah finally has enough of the warrior following her, and takes him down easily. Between the AoO and the first attack, he's down. Kirrah can take another move action if she wants.

Everyone stops and tries to figure out where the medusa went. The azata flies around, and finds it hiding behind a wall in the southern area, still sparkling but apparently able to see.

Medusa is back on the map. Resume the punishment!

"What is she doing? Trying to hide and heal up?"

Luisila single moves 60' into position and takes another shot at the medusa.

longbow + haste, bof, bard: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 14 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 33
magic, CI, piercing damage + bard: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11

Kirrah and Fendahl will ready for any of the warriors to try and escape the tangles.

Hrmm. Cautious is advised with that one. Lady Luisila has the right idea.

Fendahl will sheath his katana and draw his bow as well.

Hmm, thinking about it, Aegis can't come out of delay until Myrdon says something and he has already taken his turn.

Myrdon hears that the medusa has been found and is about to loose his magic at it. Hearing Luisila shooting at her, however, he cancels the spell instead.

Was Marta's perception check her turn, or does she still have a turn to take?

Luisila runs up and takes a shot, landing an arrow in the medusa's shoulder. Fendahl draws his own bow, watching the last warrior while preparing to fire.

Marta, Vladek, and Qadathra are still up! The Perception check did not require an action.

Marta moves toward the area indicated by the Azata, averting her gaze as she gets beyond the wall the Medusae is hiding behind. She calls upon Ragathiel to give her puissance (i.e. bane) against the creature and almost blindly she stabs her spear in the direction she knows the Medusae to be.

+18/1d8+3d6+20 Long Spear Power Attack [crit x3; P; brace, reach] (+9[BAB] +4[str] +1[enhance] -3[pwa] +2[heroism] +1[BoF] +2[bane] +2[inspired]/ 1d8 +2d6[bane] +2[bane] +6[str] +1[enhance] +9[pwa] +1d6[corrosive] +2[inspired])

To Hit Longspear: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33
Damage Longspear: 1d8 + 3d6 + 20 ⇒ (3) + (2, 3, 2) + 20 = 30
Concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 22

I take the 'speed' Fervor this round.

Vladek follows the others to where he can see the medusa (but not too well, mind you), and a slender grin with just a hint of teeth sculpts his lips as an idea worthy of some demoniac harlequin enters his mind: A pair of glowing red orbs form in his hands, which he hurls unerringly at the medusa, suffusing her being with their baleful power...

Qadathra, meanwhile, gives his Wonderful new toy another go...vs Fuschia.

I didn't state it explicitly, so let me do so now:
For the concealment check, low numbers are a miss, so for normal concealment, you miss on 01-20 and hit on 21+; for total concealment you miss on 01-50 and hit on 51+, and you can only make that attack if you have a reason to know what square the target is in.

Marta, you stated you were "averting" which means a 20% concealment, but a 50% chance you have to save against the gaze. If you are looking away completely, it's 50% concealment. I need to know which you intended. I'll let you reroll the concealment either way to be fair. You need to roll either
A) d100 for avoiding the gaze (01-50 you successfully avoid, 51+ you have to save); Fort save vs the gaze if required; then d100 for 20% concealment
OR
B) d100 for 50% concealment

----------

Vladek, from your current location, you don't have line of sight to the medusa to target her. That wall she is behind hides her. You will need to swing around somewhere near Luisila.

----------

Once they both respond, I'll resolve everyone's actions.

I have retraced my movement to be "somewhere near Luisila". How am I now? Bear in mind I'm 20' in the air, I was assuming these crumbled walls weren't as tall.

Marta was totally looking away and that means she missed.

The wall she is behind is tall enough to hide her from where Vladek was initially.

Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Vladek moves up to a position around a hedge corner to where he can just see the medusa, and casts a spell. The medusa's skin starts to turn grey and tough, but with a scream she overcomes the magic.

Rod of Wonder: 1d100 ⇒ 42 Lightning bolt (70 foot long, 5 foot wide), 6d6 points of damage (Reflex DC 15 half).
Pink Reflex (entangled, evil eye): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Lightning Bolt: 6d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 1, 4, 5, 4) = 18
Qadathra aims the rod and the last standing warrior, and a bolt of lightning shoots out, blasting down a column and burning a section of hedge behind him, though the hedge wall remains intact.

----------------
Red stabilize: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Pink escape entangle: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Pink Reflex at end of move[/dice: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
The warrior pulls himself free of the vines and slogs through them, trying to reach the tiny dragon that is his nemesis. Sadly, a new set of vines grabs hold of him again.

----------------
The naga struggles uselessly against her icy prison.

----------------
Attack #1: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33 damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 Shock: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Attack #2: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16 damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 Shock: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Attack #3: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 Shock: 1d6 ⇒ 1
The medusa steps back and fires three arrows at Marta. Because she is looking away, Marta is flat-footed to the medusa. Because of that ONE arrow hits. *sigh* Take 5 damage, you meanie!

----------------
Everyone is up!

Hah! Her temp HP from KOing the weenies absorbs that pathetic arrow storm! Leaves her with 10 temp HP.

Marta, lifts her eyes just a tad (20% concealment, 50% save), enters panther style and slips by the Medusae (drawing an AoO) and fires off a rear snap kick at her from behind after resuming dragon style.

"Over here! Before she sneaks away again!"

"Qadathra, are you still playing with your food?"

Luisila has precise shot

"Got an expedited delivery in three parts for a Miss Medusa Stoneyface."

Luisila steps 5' to the east, noting she can clearly see the recipient is home.

longbow + haste, bof, bard: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 14 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 39 crit threat
magic, CI, piercing damage + bard: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

Iterative longbow + haste, bof, bard: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 17
magic, CI, piercing damage + bard: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

Hasted longbow + haste, bof, bard: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 14 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 31
magic, CI, piercing damage + bard: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 = 13

Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 14 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 30
Extra Crit Damage: 2d8 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8, 8) + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 26

"Woo hoo! If only Roland Garros could see me now!"

Qadathra almost feels sorry for the pitiful man...but this is just so much FUN!
Perhaps it need not end in a fatality; maybe he'll turn into a clown or something this time. Could this be where clowns come from, he wonders...?

Rod of Wonder vs Fuschia, Part III!

I take the 'attack/armor/Reflex' Fervor again.

Vladek smiles disappointedly - had it worked, that would have been one for the Bards.

He drifts gracefully over Luisila, and draws his bow: An elegant but simple thing, he has seldom used it...but he doesn't carry it for nothing.

+1 Adaptive Composite Longbow, Fervor, melee penalty: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
arrow salvageable on odd: 1d100 ⇒ 27

It's been a long time since Vladek's archery studies...and while Elysium knows he fantasized of it often enough, he can't recall ever having actually shot an arrow while flying before.

@DM: What round is it? How long has it been since I took flight?

Myrdon flies after Vladek until he can see the medusa in the distance. He gestures at her and yells out, "ඔබේ ඇටකටු බිඳ දමන්න!" and she starts to feel her bones coming apart!

boneshatter dmg: 12d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 6, 6, 1, 3, 1, 3, 2, 6, 4, 5) = 42 and exhausted for 12 min; fort dc23 for half and fatigued instead.

Not sure if Myrdon would need to push Aegis again to attack with his eyes closed. If so, then scratch the boneshatter.
push Aegis: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 15 + 4 = 37

---

The azata, finally spotting her prey, flies with her majestic wings toward the medusa and again, swings down on her with her glimmering longsword.

+1 longsword, IC, high ground, flank: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 34 dmg: 2d6 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (3, 5) + 8 + 2 = 18

Azata (6/12): AC:20 T:12 FF:17 | HP: 47/73 | Immune electricity, petrification, poison; Resist cold 10, fire 10

With its eyes closed, Aegis flies towards the sound of the fighting, and tears into where it thinks the snake lady is.

Power Attack, Bull's Strength, Haste, Heroism, Inspire Courage, High Ground
talon 1: 1d20 + 15 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 15 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 39 dmg: 1d6 + 9 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 21 grab: 1d20 + 19 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 19 - 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 42
concealment?: 1d100 ⇒ 64

Fendahl and Kirrah look at the smoking crater where the medusa once stood.

Hrmm. I think that should be sufficient to end her and her next of kin.

If anything survived, they will attack.

Vladek: According to the tracker (which I have about 95% confidence in - I occasionally forget to update it) this is round 7 of the combat. I think you started flying right as it began?

Myrddon: You didn't have line of sight from where you were, but you had movement left, so I moved you so that you are hovering over Luisila, next to Vladek. I also removed the height tag you added because it was in the way with all of the tokens together.

Also Myrddon: I generally allow that commands don't have to be re-given if they still make sense; however, since a round has gone by where Aegis had to delay, that will require a new push. You said to ignore the spell and have Aegis attack, so that is what I have done.

------------
Medusa AoO: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31
Marta glances up and tries to maneuver around the medusa. As she does, she catches a glimpse of its face, but manages to turn away in time. One of the snakes lashes out to bite her, but doesn't quite connect. Marta slaps at the snake, but because she is trying to avoid the medusa's glare, doesn't hit it. Once in position, she kicks, but again can't quite hit the creature.

Luisila fires off a quip and three arrows. Two of the arrows hit, one of them quite well, though the quip misses completely.

Rod of Wonder: 1d100 ⇒ 95 Shimmering colors dance and play over a 40-footby- 30-foot area in front of rod. Creatures therein are blinded for 1d6 rounds (Fortitude DC 15 negates).
I marked a 40x30 area in front of Qadathra in the direction of the pink warrior. Pink, Fendahl, and Kirrah need to save vs the blindness.
Pink Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Qadathra sends out a shower of colors across the courtyard, catching everyone in the area by surprise.

The azata and Aegis move in, the azata uncaring of the medusa's visage and the roc somehow managing to fly with its eyes closed. They both connect, and Aegis grabs the medusa by the writhing snakes of her hair.

She's still going! Fendahl and Kirrah can take their turns once they save against the blinding colors.

Fendahl and Kirrah try to avoid the wand

Fendahl Fort bof : 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 16 + 2 = 37
Kirrah Fort bof : 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 2 = 17

”Put that thing away already. Second warning! “

Can fendahl see her from this spot? Otherwise moves and will take a single shot with bow . Or better, just ready to shoot her if she moves into view...unlikely as that may be.

Luisila's jaw drops along with her bow arm.

She's still going??

Fendahl can't see the medusa, but knows where she is thanks to everyone else. Is Kirrah going to go join, or delay near Fendahl?

Kiirrah just guards at the ready to protect Fendahl

The naga continues to shiver in her ice tomb.
----------
Red stabilize: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 Fail
Pink escape entangle: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 Fail
Pink try again to escape entangle: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 Fail
The last standing warrior struggles against the vines, but makes no progress toward his target.
----------
Medusa cast defensively: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24 Success!
The medusa carefully casts another spell, and once again disappears from view. Fendahl sees her reappear at the end of the courtyard, where you first arrived.
----------
She is now on the opposite side of the Entangle area from you. It does not block line of sight, but will slow down anyone moving through who doesn't have Freedom of Movement. Everyone is up!

”Either there is another of the Medusa or she has appeared back behind us at the entry “

”Either there is another of the Medusa or she has appeared back behind us at the entry “
He aims his bow the long range and fires, using haste, bard and bof

Fendahl +1 bow: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 14 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 23
for dmg: 1d8 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 = 11
Fendahl +1 bow: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 27
for dmg: 1d8 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 2 = 13
Fendahl +1 bow: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 33
for dmg: 1d8 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 = 11

”Kirrah ...guard me!“

should be within one range incremental but above does not factor cover etc

This medusa is quite sparkly, so it is either the same one, or it has also been Glitterdusted. ;-)

Fendahl catches sight of the medusa and fires off a volley of arrows. All three strike true, and the medusa collapses!

END OF COMBAT!

I'm going to hand-wave the last warrior. He's still confused, hurt, and having a difficult time with the Entangle.

The medusa is unconscious but not dead. Approaching her still carries the gaze problem. The Naga is alive but will be dead within another minute or two if left in the ice. She clearly can't get herself out. Three warriors are still alive, the others having died a fiery death along with Da'Tunga.

The Entangle is going to be there for quite a while; the black tentacles are still up but dismissable. Let me know what you want to do as the combat dies down.

"Don't forget to collect your mirror," she calls out. "I dropped it when the naga first appeared."

Marta approaches the naga and uses her abilities to determine the things alignment. Assuming it is evil she dispassionately watches as it dies.

"Ragathiel's Victory!" she murmurs before joining the others in an examination of the dead, though she gives the medusae a wide berth given the chance.

”Have our winged friend bag the Medusa before she departs “

Is there anyway to capture the medusa without the gaze affecting us? Thought of tying a bag around her head, but the snakes on her head could likely tear it up.

The gaze is 30', so Fendahl's suggestion to have the azata tie it up and bag the head has merit. Alternately, you can simply kill it from a distance with arrows if you are so inclined.

Marta goes to the Naga, and using her special talents is able to discern that she bears the aura of a strongly good and orderly creature. (Lawful Good)

"Please free the naga before it perishes. Ragathiel has shown me that it is a good creature under the control of others. If necessary, I will knock it out."

Myrdon tosses his cloak and some ropes to the azata. "Thank you for your assistance, most magnificent azata. Before you depart, could you us one last favour? Please help to immobolise and blind the snake? We need to question it. A thousand thanks." He bows before turning to Marta.

Grimacing, he replies, "Um, yeah, you see. I bring forth the ice, I can't send it away. Until it melts of course. But that also isn't me either. You could break it though?"

Icy prison isn't a dismissable spell. But it has only 0 hardness and 36 hitpoints. Or make strength check DC27.

Marta stares at the Azata until it gets into position and then bursts into action, breaking into a flurry of blows.

First attack
- Unarmed Strike attack roll: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29
- Non-lethal damage/acid: 3d6 + 20 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 4) + 20 + (5) = 39; (last d6 is acid damage)

Second attack
- Unarmed Strike attack roll: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21
- Non-lethal damage/acid: 3d6 + 18 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 1) + 18 + (1) = 28; (last d6 is acid damage)

Final attack at -5 BAB
- Unarmed Strike attack roll: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
- Non-lethal damage/acid: 3d6 + 18 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 6) + 18 + (3) = 35; (last d6 is acid damage)

Hmm. I added bane to that. She does a lot less damage, but I don't suppose it matters much.

Marta's attack was to break the naga out of jail, yeah?

Yes. Not too worried if it takes an extra round :)

Fendahl just watches as he stows his bow and retrieved his katana.

” Be wary of both those creatures. Under some charm or ensorclement they still could be as far as we know.“

So you have to do lethal damage to break the ice. Ignoring the 2d6 bane, you can still break the naga out before it dies.

The azata secures the medusa before returning to its native plane, while Marta punches and kicks the ice to free the naga.

The rest of you look over the warriors, and discover that each was wearing a magical amulet, and was otherwise equipped only with their spiked chains. The medusa turns out to be wearing magical bracers and carrying an enchanted bow.

In addition, on one of the mwangi you find a scrap of paper that has been folder over several times. Opening it reveals a list of names. See the slideshow - I have added a second slide of clues.

Once freed, the naga apologizes for having attacked you. "That medusa was exercising a mental control over me and the others here. I thank you for trapping me the way you did, and for releasing me. Who are you?"

--------------
The medusa is secured but unconscious. Two mwangi are alive and unconscious. Da'Tunga is very dead, as are the remaining mwangi.

"Fortunately Ragathiel informed me that you were an ally rather than an enemy. I just exercised his will. I am an inquisitor of Ragathiel and am in the employ of the Pathfinder Society. Where did the Medusae kidnap you from? this is a magical maze with many portals, so I am truly curious."
