GM Tektite's PFS Reborn Forge (Inactive)

Game Master Auke Teeninga

"I second the quick exploration of this level!" Lady Lumikello nods.

"We'll get back to civilization and heal you up soon! Just need to be certain there are no threats left." She says to Arvanor and the other prisoner.

"Continue North"

"Let's hit it. I've haven't been to the club in forever bros."

The Vudrani shakes his head in understanding.

Continuing north, the tunnel stops, branching to the west and east.

West or east?

West
Perception for the dangerous: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (3) + 28 = 31

West 2nded

Heading west, you enter a large tunnel. A ten-foot-wide conveyor stretches from the mine tracks of the central hallway toward the end of this mining zone. Evenly spaced pillars reinforce the ceiling, and glimmering green crystals bedeck the mine shaft’s walls.

In the tunnel, you see three mutant ogres directing a dozen slaves. In the southwest, a spider the size of a bull elephant stands guard!

The spider creature sees the party and reacts first, firing a fiery from one of its eyes, hitting Kaz. It then scuttle forward and tries to bite Kaz, but misses!

Everyone, but Marduk is up!

1d20 ⇒ 20
Damage: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 1, 3, 1) = 12 repost ninja!

Lumikello casts a spell and fires a sickly green ray at the spider creature! The creature's protoplasmic hide seems to resist the ray, as the creature shrugs off the damage.

Ref: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Kaz charges forward, rapier drawn.

Charge, PA, CE: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28

1d6 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23

Davo blows fairy dust from his hand, after giving an extensive (but freshman level) analysis of the weaknesses and shortcomings of retrievers.

Glitterdust, DC 18 will or be blind. Naturalist as move, every has +3 insight to AC, attacks, and saves vs. supernatural/extraordinary attacks (including vs. the fire rays, which are no doubt supernatural) Bonus sheet updated.

AoO vs Kaz: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20

Kaz manages to duck as the ray flies at him, taking only a grazing shot. Drawing his blade, he charges forward, ducking under the creature's bite, and stabs the construct!

1d20 ⇒ 4

Davo casts a spell, blowing glitter into the construct's eyes and blinding it! He then begins to lecture the party on the intricacies of retrievers.

PA: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28
2d6 + 22 ⇒ (6, 6) + 22 = 34

Shahorn guides Shadowpaw toward the creature, and slams his sword into the construct!

Attack vs Shahorn: 1d2 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

The three ogres move toward the fray, but only two have time to swing, both missing Shahorn!

Marduk!

Marduk laughs as the ogres come barreling down on the party. ”Ha more ogres! But are any of you strong enough to face me?”

The brawny orc gestures sending a lance of flames up the rank of giants.

Burning Arc Ogre #1 (reflex 16): 10d6 + 26 ⇒ (2, 4, 2, 2, 4, 2, 2, 5, 5, 4) + 26 = 58

Burning Arc Ogre #2 (reflex 14): 5d6 + 16 ⇒ (5, 1, 1, 6, 4) + 16 = 33

Burning Arc Ogre #3 (reflex 14): 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (3, 6) + 10 = 19

3d20 ⇒ (11, 3, 17) = 31

Marduk conjures an arc of fire, burning all three ogres, though these seem different than previous ogres as their skin seems to resist burning!

RTA vs Marduk: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25
Frost damage: 12d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 6, 4, 2, 4, 1, 6, 2, 3, 1, 4) = 45 DC 19 Ref for half.

Another ray shoots out from a different eye of the retriever, this time blue. The ray hits Marduk, apparently in attempt to cool down the half orc!

Claw vs Kaz: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29
Damage: 2d6 + 14 ⇒ (5, 4) + 14 = 23

The retriever goes after Kaz, biting and clawing, but can land a strike!

Everyone, but Marduk is up!

If it failed the will save v. glitterdust, it is blind. Difficult to target (perception check, although it may auto make it), but at the very least a miss chance is in order.

Kaz challenges the metal spider. "Come at me, bro."

Miss chance vs Marduk: 1d100 ⇒ 76

The retriever appears to still be blind.

Kaz unleashes his fury on the retriever, shreding it to bits!

Cold damage: 14d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 3, 1, 4, 6, 2, 1, 2, 6, 2, 4, 4, 5) = 47 DC25 reflex for half

Davo will cast haste his stalwart companions, and then begins skirting around the edge of the giants,

Shahorn urges Shadowpaw closer to the northern two ogres before swinging his blade at them! Starting with red, switching to yellow if it falls.

3d20 ⇒ (17, 2, 20) = 39

Lumikello hits the ogres with a gout of ice, freezing them all, but they still stand!

Davo hastens his party's movements!

Sahorn takes down the northern ogre with his first blow, then strikes two more blows on the next ogre, taking it down!

Attack vs Shahorn: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35
Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Attack vs Shahorn: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

The last ogre attacks Shahorn! Not sure if insight has benn switched to ogres.

At the same moment, Lumikello sees a tiefling woman appear to the northeast. At the same time a demon appears and stabs at Lumikello, with a longspear!

Kaz rides up to the demon defending Lady Lumikello, provoking and stabs.

Haste, CE, PA: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (8) + 23 = 31

1d6 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21

Usual course of action, taking cover with my mount, AC goes to 32 after cover and Haste. Only one hit!

Shahorn rights himself as Shadowpaw takes some nips at the ogre (which he totally should have done last round...)

Bite!: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 14 + 1 = 18
2d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 4) + 10 = 19

2d6 + 10 ⇒ (2, 1) + 10 = 13
Trip: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 16 + 1 = 18

Shahorn then goes for the chop!

Power attack: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 17 + 1 = 35
1d6 + 22 ⇒ (1) + 22 = 23

1d20 ⇒ 8
1d20 ⇒ 11

Lumikello's ice continues to freeze the ogre, while she evokes another, blasting the demon and tiefling, both of whom fail to get out of the way!

AoO: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Kaz charges the demon, avoiding a jab form its spear, then stabs it with his blade.

Shahorn takes down the remaining ogre!

Davo and Marduk

I had switched to ogres in the previous round..

Davo will quickly switch his lecturing to the topic of demons, their fear of cold iron, and their various weaknesses.

Planes 31? Defenses and special attacks.

For the ifrit in the back, he chooses to deliver a hold monster (DC22), to attempt to stop whatever ill magic she wields.

Babau demon

1d20 ⇒ 5

Davo casts a spell, and sees the tiefling freeze up!

Marduk

Marduk charges up and around the stairs in hopes of flanking the ifrit.

What's behind the curtain?

Marduk moves to the north and looks behind the curtain! Extravagant red and purple tapestries, intricately carved incense holders, and magnificent gold and silver braziers bedeck every corner of this smooth stone cavern. Uncut gemstones and raw hunks of various precious ores spill forth from every container in the room, and a grand area rug takes up most of the floor. Wooden doors to the west and south allow egress from the chamber. Inside the room are six platinum clad guards! They all turn toward Marduk as he enters!

1d20 ⇒ 6

The demon steps backward and darkness fall upon the area!

Tiefling Will: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Secondary damage on the enemies (20 cold see above)

Daylight on Rouva and she will fly towards the darkness

Marduk scoffs and gestures. "Metal skins won't save you from my wrath."

Empowered Fireball (Reflex 16): 10d6 + 26 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 5, 2, 3, 5, 5, 5, 6) + 26 = 67 * 1.5 = 100 save for half.

Shahorn, not wanting to bottleneck the passageway further than it is, moves to where the explosion sounded from behind Marduk.

Kaz will continue to follow the demon.

1d6 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18

Some sort of 30+ knowledge (or 29, if robots) check on guards?

Lumikello's cold continues to freeze the demon and tiefling, while Rouva moves in, dispelling the darkness!

Marduk CL check: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25

6d20 ⇒ (3, 16, 3, 7, 19, 11) = 59

Marduk casts a spell, releasing a fireball in the midst of the guards. Two of the guards are able to duck, while the other four take the full brunt of the explosion. Marduk sees that the fire didn't damage nearly as much as he thought it would.

Shahorn moves toward Marduk!

Kaz moves in and finishes the demon!

Davo moves(?) toward the men to see what he knows of them?

Are you moving to line of sight, Davo?

Davo moves and gazes with the sages learned eye at the new terrors and wonders that the dungeon holds for the intrepid explorers.

An waits on his standard action barring his observations

Davo recognizes the guards as humans, though they seem to be mutated like everything else in the region. The sage thinks the guards are resistant to electricity, fire, and spells. It also appears they are only fully injured by cold iron weapons, and they're armor provides light fortification. They don't seem particularly agile in their armor.

"More mutants, but human in origin. Do you not see - their skin looks like that of the fey, and their bodies are toughened against fire and lightning like a demon."

He shouts, and the sound unfolds and grows into a cacophony - a rather cacophonous call, so to speak DC 23 will

spell go boom?: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (6) + 22 = 28 vs. DC 25

3d20 ⇒ (5, 12, 18) = 35

Davo evokes a cacophony of sound, affecting three of the guards, as their inner ears rebel and they begin to retch!

To the northeast, Kaz and Lumikello hear chanting, then a column of fire appears, engulfing Lumikello, Kaz, Rouva, and Cookie!

1d20 ⇒ 16

Party up!

Will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

The wound was minor – barely enough to scratch his thick stony hide – but the notion that the guard thought himself worthy of attacking Marduk directly enraged the big orc. He grabs the handle of his two-handed sword in both meaty hands and cleaves into him with a roar.

Sword (rage, haste): 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 20 + 1 = 27

Shahorn sits uneasily on his mount. "I hate using this thing..."

He then drops his sword and grabs his bow with a swift movement before unleashing at the humans within.

The gnome moves up behind Marduk and casts displacement upon the brutish sorcerer.

I'll switch my naturalist to these fellows. If the gaze is spell-like or supernatural my bonus should apply

1d100 ⇒ 16

Marduk shakes off the guard's gaze, then strikes at the man in front of him. He cuts down the first guard and is able to step forward and cuts down the next man in line, even though the man's armor negated a more serious blow!

Kaz charges into the tunnel and runs his lance through the tiefling, dropping her!

Shahorn fires four arrows, all hitting their mark, and drops another guard!

The last three guards continue to reel from their vertigo.

Davo can retcon, and Lumikello has an action this round. The last three guards are nauseated for 10 more rounds, so I'd think they are easily subdued.

Lady Lumikello joins up with the party.

"Any chance any these people want to talk? Or is everyone we meet today determined to die?"

"Hello? You can surrender now!"

The men weakly hold up their hands in surrender as the retch on themselves.

After tying them down, we'll ask them for an explanation:

"Hi, could you please explain us your actions? Everything you don't say, will be held against you! Any useful information will lessen your punishment, you've got my word."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (9) + 30 = 39

After they regain their senses, the men listen to Lumikello, then one says. "Explain our actions? We were to guard Metruni. Since we are now talking to you, it seems we failed in our duties. What so you want know?"

"Well, not to be obvious, but perhaps you could start with telling us who or what is Metruni. You're throwing names around like we were aware of their meaning, as opposed to heavily armed explorers dependent upon the serendipity of discovery and the coincidence of revelation."

Marduk adds to Davo's words with an eloquent grunt.

"Indeed!"
