GMTrex's PFS [Normal Mode] 1-40 Hall of Drunken Heroes (Inactive)

Game Master Andrew Trexler

Fort save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 <--hmmm...

Ouch. So close. And yeah, Faeron was right. What you got hit with was weird.

Although Bishop, Terrill, and Skybek are able to recognize the phantasms as imaginary--ripped from their own minds--Faeron, Val, and Timber are not so lucky. Fear becomes all encompassing, shutting down nervous systems and stopping hearts. Their bodies crumple and float mid-air, slowly dissipating into the grey aether...

Osprey's voice calls out to the now half-strength party. "HOLD IT OFF!"

Round II
1. Faeron (dead), Bishop (Timber dead), Terrill, Val (dead), Skybek
2. Terror (74 dmg)

Terrill sees his companions crumple and fade away, his eyes widening in alarm. This is not going to be easy...

He calls on Desna to protect him as he darts closer, then makes another slashing attack at the terrifying creature.

Cast litany of sloth to move into reach, then attack.

Concentration, DC 17: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18 Not sure if I'm within its reach.

+1 Keen Curve Blade, Power Attack, BoF, Heroism: 1d20 + 14 - 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 14 - 2 + 2 + 2 = 31
Curve blade damage, Power Attack: 1d10 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 6 = 25

Crit confirm: 1d20 + 14 - 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 14 - 2 + 2 + 2 = 35
Crit damage: 1d10 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 6 = 18

Spells left: 5/5/3/1

You successfully cast, but now I need a caster level check versus spell resistance.

CL check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 Nice! AoO incoming! Adding me to the dead list now?

Recall that Terrill's AC is currently 36!

"TIMBER! VAL! FAERON!"

Bishop forgoes the deadly aim and just unleashes as many arrows as he can, but switching the Fervor to the attack and defense mods and air walking away from it (gaining another 40')

1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 16 + 2 = 29 DMG: 2d6 + 12 + 6 ⇒ (2, 5) + 12 + 6 = 25

Oof. Not immediately, anyway...

Bishop sends another arrow into the Terror. The shaft rips some more nothingness away.

Terrill tries his spell but can't get through--a long, long tendril reaches out to strike him as he approaches.

Tentacle @ Terrill (AoO): 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (20) + 26 = 46 oh dear CRIT THREAT Confirm: 1d20 + 26 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 26 + 4 = 43 CONFIRMED Damage: 4d6 + 16 ⇒ (6, 1, 5, 5) + 16 = 33 plus Bleed Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6 plus Terrill is sickened for 10 rounds and I need a Fortitude save, DC 29 or be permanently blinded.

1d100 ⇒ 87 silver lining: even if you are blind, your own crit hits!

Despite this terrible blow, Desna smiles a bit on Terrill and his weapon cuts deep into the nothingness of the Terror!

Round II
1. Faeron (dead), Bishop (Timber dead), Terrill (39 dmg, sickened [10], possibly blind), Val (dead), Skybek
2. Terror (107 dmg)

Not that it matters, but I forgot my Favored Enemy bonus to hit. I should a little more than 100' at this point. If Skybek and Terrill can hold that thing off (or debuff it in any way) I'll take over with damage.

Fort, Judgment, Heroism, Sickened: 1d20 + 11 + 3 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 3 + 2 - 2 = 16 Folio re-roll!
Fort, Judgment, Heroism, Sickened: 1d20 + 11 + 3 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 3 + 2 - 2 = 32 Not blind!

Terrill shakes off the terror's devastating attack, then strikes back, desperate to defeat the thing!

Use Jingasa to void the crit (not sure if this affects anything besides the damage it does, but I'll take it), full attack!

+1 Keen Curve Blade, Power Attack, BoF, Heroism, Sickened: 1d20 + 14 - 2 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 14 - 2 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 24
Curve blade damage, Power Attack, Sickened: 1d10 + 9 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 6 - 2 = 19

+1 Keen Curve Blade, iterative, Power Attack, BoF, Heroism, Sickened: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 9 - 2 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 27
Curve blade damage, Power Attack, Sickened: 1d10 + 9 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 6 - 2 = 23

Crit confirm: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 2 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 10
Crit damage: 1d10 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 6 = 17

Round 2

"What in hells did yae dae with mae friends?! Ackkk! Ahh cannae stand yae or yer wicknedness! Nae mair Mister Nice Dwarf! May Cayden Cailean smite yae doon!"

Skybek defensively casts Holy Smite centered on the Terror.

Concentration Check vs. DC 23: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
Caster Check to overcome SR: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

A blast of holy energy bursts around the evil terror engulfing the area in light and a waft of good strong ale!

Damage below depends on if this creature is an evil outsider or simply evil.

Damage to Evil Outsider: 9d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 1, 6, 6, 4, 1, 2, 1) = 27 + Blinded for 1 Round
Damage to Evil or Neutral Creature: 4d8 ⇒ (8, 2, 3, 3) = 16

Will Save DC 19 for half and negates the blinded effect.

Things are looking up! At least for the first half of my post. Terrill's jingasa comes to the rescue, negating not only the crit but also the sickened condition and the threat of blindness. You get your folio roll back! The rest I will save for next round (if you survive) as that was just the AoO...

Skybek sends forth a wash of Cayden's holy power--to great effect! It's hard to tell if the creature is blinded, however, when it doesn't appear to really have eyes. Will: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16 FAIL!

Sadly, it has the Blind-Fight feat.

The Terror keeps its attention on Terrill, lashing out with all four tentacles to wrap around his armored form.

Grapple @ Terrill: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (18) + 29 = 47 2d100 ⇒ (42, 71) = 113 SUCCESS

Wrapped in its icy embrace, Terrill's head fills with screams and nightmares, rending his very mind! Psychic Damage: 12d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 3, 6, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 5, 3) = 40 DC 23 Will for half, but it won't matter--see below.

Erastil chooses this time to grace Bishop's bow with his own holy aura in this critical time of need. Four arrows spring forth from the bow and only one is diverted--the remaining trio rips mightily through the Terror's incorporeal form and leaving it in echoing shreds. The pained roar of a dying behemoth cascades through the tattered but standing (floating?) party like a coal burning on the inside of the skull. Suddenly, the whole environs falls away and a sensation of falling returns, followed by a total darkness.

Skybek, Terrill, and Bishop awaken to Osprey, Saphira, and another priest smacking them in the face. Through a dizzying haze, they can vaguely see the world--the real world--around them. Faeron, Val, Xersus, and even Timber lie by their sides, covered in sweat and blood but very clearly breathing. The survivors themselves appear to have no wounds whatsoever.

Dunnamast, too, breathes amidst a pool of blood. And sh*t. Swimming not recommended.

"What in Cayden's name just happened?" Saphira asks, to which Osprey responds with a slight smile, "A great deal."

Welcome back from the dream world! Nobody actually died. Those who 'died' are in fact very alive. The battle was quasi-real, so those who 'died' are injured and at half health, but the clerics of Temple will heal them up for free in thanks for saving Dunnamast. Those who survived have no injuries. Moreover, equipment and spells used up in the dream world were not actually consumed, so you get those slots back, and Terrill can use his jingasa again, and Faeron/Bishop have their ammo still.

It occurred to me to ask whether I needed to use my re-roll if I used the jingasa - but this is a much better answer than I expected!

Terrill swats Saphira's hands away in alarm, convinced they are the lashing tentacles of the Terror come to claim him! On seeing where he is, however, he manages to calm himself a little and take a few deep breaths, amazed that's he's breathing at all. "What happened? Did we defeat it?" he asks, then pauses as he sees that his companions, though injured, still live.

"Wha..? Was none of it real?" Turning to the venture-captain with the smile - which Terrill cannot help but think of as a smirk - he says, "What do you mean? What happened to us? I saw half of our number slain, yet they lie there breathing!"

Spells left: 6/5/3/1

"Ahh didnae ken whair Ahh went, but Ahh didnae like seein Tygora again. She was monstrous and she was kickin oor butts! On top o that, we didnae have Harnac tae fly up and tak doon the witch! Ahh wasnae sure Ahh'd see yae folks alive again! Well, Ahh'm glad that's done. Nice job, gentlemen. Ahh'm honored tae hae fought by yer side! So what's next? Dae yae think we've cleared the evil oot of oor holy hall?"

I'm reasonably certain that was a personal best for me across the 6 editions of this game I've played; 227 damage in one round.

Bishop looks around, not at all curious about the mechanics or results of the psychic realm. He makes eye contact with each of his fellow Pathfinders. In the end he gives Timber a reciprocated headbutt. "when this is done, I promise someone or something is going to say good-bye to this world..."

The ranger looks at Osprey and plucks the string of Decision. "now what? "

-Posted with Wayfinder

"No, I don't think so, Skybek," Osprey says. "I was able to get only a few answers from Dunnamast in the dream world, but there is clearly something larger at work here. A primordial demon would not be here if Baldimar's archives did not survive and its presence suggests that there is something of great value to demonkind within. Why else would they risk attacking a major temple in the heart of the City at the Center of the World? But! Dunnamast will likely need a few hours to recover before he is ready to talk, and I suggest we all get some rest."

The enigmatic druid whispers a few words and Xersus awakens, wholly disoriented. After a short conversation with him in an unrecognized tongue, Osprey turns to the party. (Val/Faeron/Timber are awake by now.) "I fear that Xersus has suffered significant psychic scarring from the attack. I should get him back to Skyreach for recovery. The Decemvirate will also want to know the gravity of what we're dealing with. Get some rest tonight and interview Dunnamast in the morning."

Saphira offers her profound thanks for saving Brother Dunnamast and gives the group a place to rest for the night, as well as a hot meal and any needed healing. Opportunity to re-prep spells if interested. In the morning, the group reconvenes around Dunnamast's recovery bed. The Caydenite sits upright in his bed, sipping a spiked coffee, battered but cheerful. "Hello hello! My thanks for bringing me back from that... thing." He shudders. "Not sure what happened, really. Met a pretty lass, she seemed interested in the Drunken God. After a few, she got real giddy and asked to meet me in the store room. I remember kissing her, then I must have blacked out. The ale, probably." His face looks almost fond, but he shrugs.

"Anyway, I hear you came asking about Baldimar and his studies. He didn't talk about it much, but I did see him fiddling with a flagstone under the bench in the garden one time and seemed startled when I asked him about it. I figure he was just drunk, but maybe not. Try there. Maybe he left a note or something."

Any questions for Dunnamast?

The following morning, Skybek greets Dunnamast cordially. "Hail mae bruder. Ahh'm Skybek Odeon at yer service. Can Ahh offer something stronger tae extra spike yer coffee wid tae get yer day started? Ahh'm pleased tae see yae recoverin quickly. Yae gade us all quite the fright. Ahh cannae imagine dealin with that terror ana longer than yae did. Ahh'm wonderin if yae recall ana wee bits o' information that can help us put an end tae the evil plaguin oor great hall here? Daes the evil hae ana weaknesses that we can take advantage of?"

Well, that...was horrifying. I'm relieved to see everyone on this side of the Vale!

"Not sure what happened, really. Met a pretty lass, she seemed interested in the Drunken God. After a few, she got real giddy and asked to meet me in the store room. I remember kissing her, then I must have blacked out. The ale, probably."

I have some suspicions here...Brother, think carefully. Do you recall the specific sensations you experienced with this kiss? Please take your time, and don't be shy--after all we've experienced together, this is no time for modesty!

"Anyway, I hear you came asking about Baldimar and his studies. He didn't talk about it much, but I did see him fiddling with a flagstone under the bench in the garden one time and seemed startled when I asked him...

Could you either point out this flagstone, or describe where it is specifically so we can find it easily? He glances at Bishop and Timber , and winks. Not that I doubt we couldn't find it on our own, of course...

"I have a protégé that could learn a lot here. He's a Rhadoumi with skill in this psychic stuff. He's not ready for the field. Shame, I think he could help with this. I'm a simple man. The flagstone is enough of a lead for me. "

Almost as an afterthought Bishop turns and takes out his Wayfinder. It's exceedingly plain, until he turns it over and a brilliant spindle of crystal shines. "After hearing that story I recommend you get one of these IOUN stones. They cost a kingdom, but it'll prevent any kind of domination."

"Which also reminds me, I don't want these damned demons to get away. I'd ask that those who are conduits for the gods prepare spells to anchor fiends to our dimension."

Much rested, and still savoring the sensation of relief from learning that his companions are all alive and well, Terrill listens in as Val and Skybek question the recovered Dunnamast.

As the conversation winds down, he nods along with Bishop's suggestion, "I agree, let's check out this flagstone. Great mysteries have been solved with a simple start before."

Interrupting the conversation, Osprey walks in with a frail-looking Xersus employing the use of a cane. "Ah, good to see you are all awake!"

"And good to see Dunnamast up too," adds Xersus in a hoarse voice. "I fear that there is a great evil at work here. I have brought some items that may offer some protection..."

"But a Pathfinder's wit will be the best armor," Osprey replies cryptically. He drops a satchel on the floor. Inside: one gem of brightness, scroll of dismissal, scroll of magic circle against evil, scroll of restoration, scroll of atonement, scroll of dispel evil.

In the garden, the group finds a lone bench with a large flagstone beneath, which Faeron and Terrill heave aside--revealing a wide but steep set of stairs descending into darkness.

At this point, Saphira steps into the garden with an urgent look, but stops abruptly. "By Cayden himself! A secret storeroom!" She shakes her head and remembers what she came here for. "Right! Uh, just did a quick head count... I'm missing at least four priests. Nobody's seen 'em in at least two days. Would you... uh... keep an eye out for them down... wherever that goes?"

"Ahh really appreciate the scrolls yae gade us, but Ahh dae hope that we dannae find anything tae bad. Noo, we'd be happy tae look fer missin priests, but wid appreciate mair information. What names dae they gae by? Were they wearin priestly robes. Did they all carry their tankards on them?"

"smells, but not sure like what. I can't use those scrolls, and the gem isn't really my style. Let's go."

will post final spell list shortly

-Posted with Wayfinder

Val sorts through the scrolls, and takes the Dispel Evil since I can cast True Strike, I think that's the best use--feel free to argue! and divides the rest up among the divine spellcasters.

I'll also take Magic Circle, because of my mobility, unless someone else thinks they have better use. I've noted all scrolls in my sheet under "Scenario specific goodies" so we can tick them off as they're used...

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Know:PLanes: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Val doesn't pick up the odor on his own, but once it's pointed out, he inhales deeply, and makes a slight grimace.

...brimstone. <--NOT in Shrek's Scottish accent.

Perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20
Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

"Yeah, I smell it too, but didn't recognize it," Terrill concurs, one corner of his mouth raised in an ironic smile. "Not the most subtle of hints about where we're headed, eh?"

He lays a hand on his blade, infusing it with Desna's holy power, then gives a nod and lead the way down the steps, saying as he descends, "We'll look for your wayward priests, Saphira, though I hope they're just sleeping off an epic bender rather than down here."

Cast greater magic weapon.

Light source: ioun torch
Marching order - how about: Terrill, Skybek, Bishop, Faeron, Val?
Door procedure: Lots of Perception checks, detect magic, Terrill opens it?

I'm happy to scout ahead or attempt to disable things should the situation warrant it.

Looking to stay hidden in the shadows, so I like everything Terrill recommends, but Bishop will leave Timber in the middle while Bishop sneaks in rear guard formation Stealth: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (17) + 24 = 41

-Posted with Wayfinder

Agreed with Terrill + Bishop's tweak, as Val is too squishy to make a good rear guard. Plus, with him nearby, that gives me 2 good targets for Bit of Luck!

[ooc]croiky! Why aren't we bit o-lucking constantly. With Blessing of fervor that's a recipe for enemy disaster

-Posted with Wayfinder

Because Bishop clearly needs more optimization :)

"Well, you know, there aren't many rules governing garb and whatnot," Saphira says to Skybek, "but you should be able to recognize them compared to demons, no? Names are Tal, Mak, Berdun, and Cort. Please find them!"

The party begins their descent. In the lead, Terrill is the first to notice the stairs suddenly become slick with blood about half way down. Bishop catches Timber sniffing around and stops him just before he starts snacking on fingers. Human fingers. Four severed human fingers.

The long stairwell ends in a small, curved foyer facing a set of heavy iron double doors. Crumpled against one is the body of a man, likely one of Saphira's priests. He is missing four fingers on his right hand, solving that mystery.

Two alcoves on either side of the door each feature a statue of the Drunken Hero himself, one holding a massive flagon and the other hoisting a large sack of grain. The second one is badly scarred and chipped, and one of its arms lies shattered on the floor, broken at the shoulder. The double doors themselves are shut, but appear to have been previously forced open. A message is written across them in blood: Enter not.

5d20 ⇒ (15, 3, 11, 20, 10) = 59

Enacting the SDOP, the party quickly learns that the doors are both magical and trapped.

Heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 Glad I'm getting these crappy rolls out of the way now, so I can rack up some crits when it matters! That's how it works, right? Right?

Terrill shakes his head as they find the mutilated body, his worst fears confirmed. Seeing the statues of Cayden Cailean, he says, "Funny that this was built as part of the temple, but the head priestess didn't know about it. Wonder what other surprises this place holds?"

At the end of the hall, Terrill steps away from the trapped door, commenting, "Hmm, Faeron, looks like you're up."

Let's see if I can take care of this. Stand back, just in case.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27

Faeron works on the magical trap for a moment before declaring it safe and opening the door. Unfortunately, he didn't quite negate the magicks. A ghoulish shadow reaches out from the door to grasp him!

Touch @ Faeron: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22 HIT Negative Energy: 8d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 1, 1, 2, 1, 6, 4) = 25 plus Bleed Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4

Faeron feels the energy drain him; the touch seemed to have eaten away the skin entirely and now his arm is bleeding badly. But before he can react, an even greater shadow comes slamming into him from the hallway beyond! Bearing wings and claws and teeth, the shadow rips into him with a chilling coldness.

Claw @ Faeron: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 2 = 33 HIT Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6 plus Cold: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6
Claw @ Faeron: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 2 = 33 HIT Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8 plus Cold: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7
Bite @ Faeron: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 14 + 2 = 36 CRIT THREAT Confirm: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 2 = 21 CONFIRMED Damage: 4d8 ⇒ (5, 8, 3, 5) = 21 plus Cold: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

"Anyone know what this thing is?" Terrill asks before blinking out of existence. He reappears behind the winged shadow that has so savaged Faeron, his bright blade already slashing at it!

Activate Judgments of Protection (+3 AC, +6 vs crits) and Purity: (+3 saves, +6 vs curses, diseases, poisons), use Dimensional Hop to get behind winged shadow (20/100' used today). Attack!

"This fella wid the missing fingers has a crushed windpipe. This cannae be gud."

"Faeron, what in hells is going on back there?! Bishop, slow doon, Ahh think Faeron is havin trouble keepin up!"

"Oh, Terrill..." comes a cheery voice from behind him, "you've wandered somewhere fun!"

Faeron and Terrill's blows seem to evaporate against the shade, its wispy body reforming after each strike. The half-elf's attention is turned behind him for a moment, and there is Desna herself in the flesh! Make a Will save!

Round I - bold may act!
1. Shadow
2. Faeron (21/91 hp, bleeding), Terrill
3. Ephierone Desna!
4. Val, Bishop, Skybek

Edit: did my math wrong slightly. Faeron hit twice and Terrill once, but none of the hits succeeded in damaging the creature.

Faeron and Terrill's blows seem to evaporate against the shade, its wispy body reforming after each strike.

Can I make some flavor of knowledge check to determine why these blows are ineffective? Usually magic weapons effect incorporeal, so I'd like to konw what's the deal--and whether I've prepped anything that could rectify said deal.

Sure! Knowledge (Planes).

"Desna my arse... I saw your kind on the pillars. Not impressed. I saw YOUR kind at a wedding. You're both dead." Decision will bypass anything except Epic, bludgeoning, and slashing. If Val shouts something useful, I'll target the shadow. If not, I'll target the Desna.

Skybek readies to cast Blessing of Fervor to rally his companions to victory. He waits until Val and Bishop move up to allow him to affect everyone in the company.

"We're guided by Cayden Cailean mae friends, and he is watching oos as we dae his work!"

MY bad, I had to move to get there. Only one attack.

Sure! Knowledge (Planes).

know:planes: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Bishop advances and gets off an arrow. It buries itself in the woman's shoulder. Skybek readies a spell, but waits on Val... and I still need a Will save from Terrill!

Round I - bold may act!
1. Shadow
2. Faeron (21/91 hp, bleeding), Terrill
3. Ephierone Desna! (16 dmg)
4. Val, Bishop, Skybek

Will, Judgment: 1d20 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 3 = 35

Terrill actually laughs at the attempt to deceive him!

"Aww..." pouts not-Desna with a demonic smile.

Val!

ROUND 1

Val casts Ghostbane Dirge on the shadow (will dc 17 neg) and closes next to Faeron, prepping to heal him. Cold iron and Good weapons will work best on the shadow!
