GM Sior's Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment (PFS #3-21, Table 2) (Inactive)

Game Master Sior

Silas steps in to take a slash at Dakang, drawing thick ichor for blood which carries a heavy odour of rotted eggs.

Dario, meanwhile, shows that he gets his throwing ability from the elf side of his heritage, though still sprinkling the demon with the burning water.

In a fumbling manner, Dakang tries to slide back towards the wall, but only leaves himself open to three attacks of opportunity!
Acro: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Silas and Arion, AoOs for movement!

Golthune AoO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 Guessing here, +1 BAB, +3 Str, +1 weapon focus, MISS

Assuming he survives, he effortlessly climbs to the top of the room, some ten feet above your heads and there casts another spell!
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 negative energy damage to everyone, DC 16 Will save to half

Order:
Dakang
Arion, Golthune, Quint
Demon
Dario, Silas, Soran

Arion has Combat Reflexes. Did Dakang provoke more than once?

MWK Longspear, Attack of Opportunity, cursed: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 3 - 1 = 20
damage: 1d8 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 - 1 = 6

-Posted with Wayfinder

Longsword smite AoO: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 = 11

-Posted with Wayfinder

For movement, no, just the once. Checking the map, hey, what do ya know? He is barely in reach of your spear for the spell. Go ahead and take that one.

As Dakang moves away, Silas swings but gets nothing but air. As he moves further, Arion barely manages a tiny scratch on him. As Dakang casts the spell, he finds another opening.

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

2nd AoO, cursed, Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 3 - 1 = 14
AoO damage: 1d8 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 - 1 = 8

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

-Posted with Wayfinder

Will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

A wave of sickening negative energy washes over Silas. The evil is so overwhelming that his body is wracked with pain.

-Posted with Wayfinder

did not realize I was up. Sorry.

Arion again points at Dakang, and the small storm cloud around his head remains.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Guess I missed it also.

Quint quickly reloads his pistol Alchemical Paper Rounds- Free action and fires it once again at the man.

Double Barrel Pistol Shot 1 RTA: 1d20 + 7 - 4 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 - 4 + 1 - 1 = 18
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Double Barrel Pistol Shot 2 RTA: 1d20 + 7 - 4 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 - 4 + 1 - 1 = 13
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

+1 Att/Dam- Point Blank Shot

And Golthune hasn't posted in over a week, so it should be safe to either GMPC or skip him.

Soran studies the demon again, hoping for more insight on how to hurt it the most. Then he fires.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

The problem is Golthune does not have full stats on his profile. Makes it hard to bot him. Will keep trying to aid those who can reach Dakang.

Arion calls another cloud to obscure Dakang's sight as Quint fires again. Only one shot hits and it does a tiny amount to harm the usurper priest.

Golthune tries to aid Arion in attacking Dakang if it should come to that.
Aid: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 SUCCESS

The demon steps forward and starts to swipe at the Professor!
Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 MISS
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 MISS
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 MISS
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Soran uses the opportunity to strike at the demon, but cannot find his mark.

Order:
Dakang
Arion, Golthune, Quint
Demon
Dario, Silas, Soran

Great Lady, cleanse me! Trying to push through the dark energy seeping into his muscles, he calls out to his goddess and turns his sword against Dakang's demonic ally in a downward slash. At least I can get rid of this thing.

Lay on Hands (swift): 1d6 ⇒ 6
Longsword slash vs demon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Longsword damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Silas swipes at the demon, dealing a blow to the beast, though it is not fully effective.

Dario up!

Dario strikes back at the demon with his rapier, but his aim is quite off.

Cold Iron Rapier: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Dario's blade misses the small creature!

Tumble: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17 Pass Arion, fail Golthune
AoO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 6) + 4 = 16 Are you kriffing kidding me... Just realized that token was Quint, not Golthune! Golthune not threatening. Leaving the roll here so Dakang still fails the next tumble check against Arion

Dakang clambers along the ceiling, moving past Arion with ease! He continues to move towards the door.
Tumble: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 Fail, Arion gets an AoO this time.

It's clear he is attempting to make it out the curtains up the stairs!

Order:
Dakang
Arion (AoO plus action), Golthune, Quint
Demon
Dario, Silas, Soran

Golthune steps up and tries to aid Arion on his next attack (not the pending AoO)
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 Success, +2 to Arion's next physical strike.

didn't Golthune aid Arion last round also? If so, add 2 to the AoO roll.

AoO, Longspear, Attack, cursed: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 - 1 = 12
AoO, Longspear, damage, cursed: 1d8 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 - 1 = 5

-Posted with Wayfinder

not sure I follow the layout of this room. I hope this is within reach.

Arion steps forward and stabs at Dakang again. "Stop him, he's getting away!"

Longspear, Attack, aided, cursed: 1d20 + 3 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 2 - 1 = 19
Longspear, damage, cursed: 1d8 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 - 1 = 9

20 ft climb speed, moving at half speed to (try to) tumble. He can't really get far, even with a double move.

Arion's spear lashes out but misses as Dakang moves. However, his main strike does hit, though it only deals a little damage.

Quint is up!

does it matter that Arion's spear is Cold Iron?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Quint begins to load his pistol with powder and another set of bullets as quickly as possible.

Reload normal bullets

It might matter a little...

The demon continues to attack the elf.

Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Apparently he is as bad in melee as a goldfish is on land...

Order:
Dakang
Arion, Golthune, Quint
Demon
Dario, Silas, Soran

Silas continues his assault on the smaller demon.

Longsword slash: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Dario dodges the demon's claws and drives his rapier at it again.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Silas continues to strike the smaller demon, but it still stands!

Dario is not nearly as accurate as his rapier swings wide of the foe.

Soran is up

Soran growls to himself, wishing he had something to strike with that could bypass the creature's tough skin. As it is, all he can do is try to strike at joints where the thing's hide is weakest.
Studied Target, Point Blank Shot, and Deadly Aim all active on attack at demon.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The demon or Dakang-demon?

We'll go after Dakang since he is above everyone.

With his focused aim, Soran is able to hit Dakang as he crawls on the ceiling. It does not seem to phase the impersonator at all. Zero damage

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Dakang tries to move away, but provokes from Arion once again!

1d6 ⇒ 3

Order:
Dakang
Arion, Golthune, Quint
Demon
Dario, Silas, Soran

Arion stabs at Dakang as he moves away, then he runs at the banister and jumps to grab the railing, then climb up. Not sure what kind of action that is or how far he'll be able to move, altogether. If Dakang is 15 feet up, shouldn't he be within reach of reach weapons? about 6 feet of character height + 10 feet of reach is about 15 feet.

Fifteen feet up, as in 10 feet over your head on a 20 foot high ceiling. As for getting there, I'd say four squares of movement, down to two squares with a successful Climb check. However, it will provoke from the adjacent demon, not that it's being too effective.

Climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

10' over my head so... within Longspear reach?

-Posted with Wayfinder

No, there are 10 feet between you two. Two whole squares.

Amendment: The balcony is 10 feet off the ground, so standing on the balcony will allow you to hit with reach, if that is what you were intending.

Arion climbs up the balcony and steps into the other room.

Unless that 7 is a successful climb, Arion still has 5' separating him horizontally from Dakang. I can't tell if that means he's within reach or not. If he's threatening, he'll attack this round, otherwise he'll use up the rest of his move to make Dakang provoke the next time he moves away.

Does Golthune at least have his domains listed? If he has the good domain, we could really use that holy blessing. This DR is brutal.

Quint levels his firearm at the demonic creature on the main floor. Pulling both triggers. With a deafening boom two bullets let loose along with a cloud of black smoke.

Double Barrel Pistol Shot 1: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 1 - 1 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Double Barrel Pistol Shot 2: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 - 1 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

+1 Att/Dam- Point Blank Shot

No, Soran. All that is listed which might hint at that is that his deity is Korada. Quite honestly, I was contemplating not reporting him as having played it. He's made, what, 8 posts the whole scenario? Not really fair if this counts as him having played it when he never... well, played it. Please, feel free to put your thoughts in Discussion thread.

Arion, yes, you can reach him from your placement on the map. I apologize for the confusion this morning. For some reason I was calculating as if you were standing on the floor of the chapel room and not from the balcony.

Quint fires at the small demon, but for both shots, only one draws blood, and it's only a trickle...

Golthune steps to the side to aid Silas in attacking the small demon.
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Barely aids. But barely is barely.

The demon continues its pointlss assault on 1d2 ⇒ 1 Dario.

Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Not so pointless this time! The demon is as surprised as Dario!

Order:
Dakang
Arion, Golthune, Quint
Demon
Dario, Silas, Soran

alright... Arion strikes at Dakang with his spear. "Evil spirit, be felled!" Cold Iron Longspear, Attack, cursed: 1d20 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 - 1 = 8

moot point I guess, but now he will provoke again.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Oh, probably. Soon as Dario, Silas, and Soran have a go.

Soran loads yet another arrow, and looses it at Dakang.
Their hide is too damn thick! We aren't getting anywhere!
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Dario yells as the demon sinks its teeth into him. He drives his rapier into the demon's face. "Die, already!"

Activate Luck
Cold Iron Rapier: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 2 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 = 5

Soran lets another arrow fly. It hits the demon but inflicts no damage. Indeed, he may have just tickled it. Hard to tell with demons.

Now, with the situation approaching critical for Dario, the archaeologist lets the power of the Dark Side pain and rage take over as he thrusts the rapier through a tender spot of the demon, the cold iron material pushing effortlessly through its hardened hide, felling the beast.

Silas is up!

Do I tend to Dario or deal with the threat? Silas opts for the threat, reasoning that a well-placed cut to the demon's tough hide could save even more injury. Longsword slice: 1d20 + 2 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 2 + 8 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

-Posted with Wayfinder

Silas, the demon which was next to you was felled by Dario. Retcon?

Oh my bad, didn't notice that.

Retcon:
Turning around, Silas places a hand on Dario and closes his eyes, channeling the healing power of his goddess. "And she laid on of her blessed hands, and the damage was undone."

Lay on Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Welp, guess she wasn't impressed haha.

Dario smiles as the smallest wounds of his closes. "Thanks, Silas. May the Dawnflower grace you forever. Now, I think she would also wants us to end this Dankang-demon."

Dakang sidles across the ceiling to get just out of reach before pointing a finger at Arion. Will save DC 14 or be panicked for 1d4 ⇒ 3 rounds

Order:
Arion, Golthune, Quint, Dario, Silas, Soran
Dakang
