GM Trex's Year of the Shadow Lodge Special [Standard] Tier 1-2 (Inactive)

Game Master Andrew Trexler

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 Acrobatics to get up

Acrobatics to move 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Acro: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Shawn falls on the grease.

Shawn goes full defensive

don't kill me!

If Red is not dead yet:

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Miranda gingerly moves past E'li over the disgusting floor, places her hypnotic stare on the goblin in the red shirt, and tries to place a Daze spell on him.

DC 16 Will save, -2 to the Will save, +1 damage if injured after Miranda started staring.

* * *

If Red is dead:

Miranda maintains her position south of E'li, arms herself with her crossbow, and takes a moment to set up a bolt.

In this case, the blue takes an additional damage if its injured this round, and it has -2 to Will saves.

* * *

I moved Miranda as if the first instance were true, I'll move her back if the second instance is applicable.

Masym stabs a goblin in the belly! The spearpoint comes out almost purple, and the bugger scoops at its innards and takes a lick of its fingers with a whimper.

Not dead yet!

Will: 1d20 ⇒ 17 Weakened by Miranda's enticing stare, the goblin also falls under her spell!

E'li gets up off the floor and Shawn decides the tile is lonely, visiting his rump upon it also.

Round III -- ]b]bold[/b] may act!
1. Shawn (7/9 dmg)
2. Goblins (blue @ 3 damage; red @ 3 dmg, dazed)
3. Celdrexen, Masym, Ed (2/16* hp), E'li, Miranda

Drop bec de corbin and ready falchion.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 122d4 + 9 ⇒ (4, 4) + 9 = 17

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Celdrexen collects himself and smooths down patches of feathers gone awry. Ed visits pain and suffering upon another shelf of beakers! In an act of desperation, the goblin standing by produces a shank and drives it home into the bloodied man's belly. Ed finally succumbs to his many wounds and shudders to a stop.

Blue @ Ed: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22 THREAT Confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18 CONFIRMEDCritical Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

1. Shawn (7/9 dmg)
2. Goblins (blue @ 3 damage; red @ 3 dmg)
3. Celdrexen, Masym, Ed (-3/14 hp, unconscious, bleeding out), E'li, Miranda

Poor Ed, rhymes with dead

Acrobatics 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

The warpriest will move over one square and fire a piercing bullet at ol blue
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
good 1d6 ⇒ 2

E'li sends a slingstone zinging into a misshapen goblin head! The bugger joins Ed on the floor.

Round IV -- bold may act!
1. Shawn (7/9 dmg)
2. Goblins ( red @ 3 dmg)
3. Celdrexen, Masym, Ed (-3/14 hp, unconscious, bleeding out), E'li, Miranda

Masym grits his teeth and again tries to put the last goblin down, studying him closely.

Round 4:
Move: Use Studied Target on the Red Goblin.
Attack: Attack the Red Goblin. Longsword: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 = 14;
damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7
.
STATUS: Studied Target => Red Goblin.

Arco: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Shawn stays on the ground full defensive

"I'm all butterfingers over here"

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

As she moves over five feet, Miranda only barely manages to avoid falling on her rump. Once positioned, she pokes at the goblin with her longspear.

Longspear vs. Red: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Red takes an extra damage if hurt, also -2 to Will saves from Miranda's stare.

Try to stabilise
stabilise: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Celdrexen @ Red: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

The wily goblin survives the bumbling Pathfinder crew's assaults. Celdrexen steps gingerly forward and tries a careful shot into the melee. The concussion rattles the equipment throughout the lab -- and when the smoke clears, only a hole in the stone above the goblin's head remains of the tengu's effort.

The goblin plunges its shortsword into Shawn's thigh as he lies on the ground. A spurt of blood flashes over a delighted goblin grin.

Red @ Shawn: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 2 + 4 = 22 HIT Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Round V -- bold may act!
1. Shawn (3/9 dmg, prone)
2. Goblins ( red @ 3 dmg)
3. Celdrexen, Masym, Ed (-4/14 hp, unconscious, bleeding out), E'li, Miranda

Miranda attacks the goblin again with her longspear. She gets a little closer to hitting this time.

Longspear: 1d20 ⇒ 7

+1 damage to goblin if hurt, -2 to its Will save.

Masym gets a look of frustration on his face as the goblin manages to avoid his attacks. "Why don't you go join your friends!" He exclaims as he swings again at it.

Round 5:
Attack: Attack the Red Goblin. Longsword: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 = 23;
damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4
Crit?: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5 no crit!
.
STATUS: Studied Target => Red Goblin.

Masym finally ends the goblin's grating grinning!

Out of combat!

The team extricates themselves from the gory laboratory and finds themselves in a hallway facing two doors. Left or right? Please include any healing in your next post, and please try to spread the expenditure of resources around so poor Miranda doesn't wipe half her wand today. :)

I give the party my healing wand.

"Use this as you need it."

49 charges left

Did my 22 not hit the goblin in the previous round?

@ E'li: it did. See my post right below yours.

The party contemplates which door the try... the doubles on the left, or the single on the right.

Ok! Spending time on the floor and missing a few times did not help his self-esteem

He will use the tengu's wand on Ed
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Thank you E'li, i'm back. Use Celdrexen wand to heal.
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
now I have 10 hp

Shawn takes advantage of the healing wand

Wand CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

"Thanks Celdrexen"

Poor Ed

Masym grunts as the party decides which door to travel through. "I have no idea which way to go here but that door looks like it would lead deeper into the Mausoleum." He points at the door to the right.

I must say we have not been treated well by the GM's dice here, he he.

"The right door is as good as any." Miranda agrees with a shrug.

The warpriest agrees with the kitsune.

I must say we have not been treated well by the GM's dice here, he he.

My dice are uncaring brutes. :)

The team decides on the right door and find themselves in some sort of cremation lab. A huge iron stove stands to one side, and hundreds of labeled urns brimming with ash cover the walls.

Beyond is a vast chamber filled with rows and rows of dark-lacquered mahogany shelves containing thousands of texts.

Masym advances cautiously into the room, on the lookout for more goblins. "They probably set an ambush for us here. We need to make sure the area is clear before pressing onwards." He whispers to the others.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

*******************
OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT
*******************

Celdrexen looks around as well, rather annoyed that he could not somehow find the little bastards earlier.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

I dare you to beat that!

So we are fighting this thing back?

Beyond the library a strange metal cage lies sprawled in the center of an empty room like a great, undulating, skeletal lotus. Long tendrils of translucent ether lash violently from the artifact, while crackles of eerie light dance across the metal frame and up into the ghostly pillar that erupts from the center of the device into the night sky. A dozen bodies surround the pulsating cage, flopping on the floor and convulsing madly.

Already, other Pathfinders are rushing to tinker with the machine in the hopes to shut it down. Others run through the swirling tendrils, dodging where they can and grunting in pain where they cannot.

Each of you can either try to help shut it down (roll Disable Device each round) or run past it (avoiding tendrils and making Fort saves each round).

Please give me 3 Disable checks or 3 Fort saves.

Since disable device is a trained only skill, I guess that makes the decision easy.

Miranda attempts to move forward and avoid the tendrils while the more skilled pathfinders try to disarm the cage.

Fort 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Fort 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Fort 3: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Once Miranda has made her way through Masym follows close behind...

Fortitude #1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Fortitude #2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Fortitude #3: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

"I go with you."
Fort 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Fort 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Fort 3: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

I follow behind the team, bracing myself for whatever this thing would do to me.

Fort 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Fort 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Fort 3: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Fort Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20
Fort Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Fort Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Shawn attempts to follow.

fort 1 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
fort 2 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
fort 3 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Each does their best to dive through the weaving tendrils, and each is caught by at least one. A painful shudder runs through their body as the icy finger sweeps over them.

Celdrexen: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Ed: 1d6 ⇒ 3 halved = 1 dmg
E'li: 1d6 ⇒ 1 halved = 1 dmg
Masym: 1d6 ⇒ 1 halved = 1 dmg
Miranda: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Shawn: 1d6 ⇒ 4 halved = 2 dmg

Reaching the door, they find it locked! A mass of Pathfinders press against the door, but the tendrils continue to whip about the room...

Celdrexen: 2d100 ⇒ (90, 7) = 97
Ed: 2d100 ⇒ (91, 91) = 182
E'li: 2d100 ⇒ (55, 79) = 134
Masym: 2d100 ⇒ (51, 88) = 139
Miranda: 2d100 ⇒ (38, 77) = 115
Shawn: 2d100 ⇒ (29, 54) = 83

Only Celdrexen is unlucky enough to be hit once more. A wisp ruffles the feathers along his convulsing spine. Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2 halved = 1 dmg.

At this point there is nothing more to do but wait. We've already rolled a day in advance. However, it is possible that the other tables will shut the artifact down soon, so just hang tight.

GM - CODE GREY

What does Code Grey mean?

That's why it's a Code. :)

No changes for us at the moment. Hang tight.

Are we done?

@ E'li: no.

Overseer post reposted:

The Cage is finally disabled and stops firing off its tendrils (no second hit for Celdrexen)! The spiked and stuck door lasts mere moments as the horde of Pathfinders simply blow through it, part fleeing the cage, part fueled by visions of revenge!

The walls and floor of this room are made of pale, roughly finished sandstone. The walls curve upward to an almost dome-like structure above, and the level of the floor is slightly lower than that of the entry door. Squared arches of polished sandstone are cut into the curved walls, creating fantastic columns. The walls are covered to a height of 30 feet with enormous bookshelves full of tomes, scrolls, and leather-bound books. Several ladders, used to climb to the higher shelves, are scattered about the room. At a half-dozen points throughout the room, the rough, sandstone floor has been breached—smashed open as though someone were looking for something—and from somewhere in the room you hear an angry pounding. Before the army of Pathfinders coming his way stands none other than Charvion Eater-of-Bones.

With a supernatural roar of fury, the renegade raises his arms to the ceiling and screams in an ancient, guttural tongue. A nimbus of white flame erupts about him and then explodes, sending several different versions of Charvion flying about the room. Each Charvion stands and laughs, and in one loud chorus they say, “Come and fight me, Pathfinders. Your days are numbered!”

One nearby copy of Charvion immediately sets upon the group!

Round I -- bold may act!
1. E'li (15/16 hp), Shawn (7/9 hp)
2. Charvion Copy
3. Masym (13/14 hp), Miranda (16/17 hp), Celdrexen (14/16 hp), Ed (9/14 hp)

The warpriest will take a sling stone that will do piercing damage and using his A sure thing trait will fire it at the bad guy.
1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24

A Sure Thing [Link]
Source PFS Guide to Organized Play 6.0 pg. 16
Once per day, you gain a +2 bonus on a single attack roll against an evil-aligned creature. If the creature is not evil-aligned, this ability is wasted with no benefit.

damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
holy 1d6 ⇒ 3

Shawn begins his insulting the copy.

"Boy aren't you a flaming hot mess."

Shawn begins his perform satire debuff

Shawn's taunting grabs his bitter attention, but the sling stone hurts him more. "I will make you eat your words, Pathfinder, and I will bury ALL of you!" Charvion screams. Two darts of pure magic zing into E'li, puncturing him amid sharp spurts of blood. Charvion retreats deeper into the chaotic melee of the chamber.

Magic Missile @ E'li: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 1) + 2 = 7

Round I -- bold may act!
1. E'li (8/16 hp), Shawn (7/9 hp)
2. Charvion Copy
3. Masym (13/14 hp), Miranda (16/17 hp), Celdrexen (14/16 hp), Ed (9/14 hp)

Masym's first impulse is to charge into combat with the Chavrion clone, but his caution prevails here. Advancing toward the spell-slinger he studies the man's movements closely.

Round 1:
Move: Move 30' to position on map.
Move: Use Studied Target on Charvion.
.
STATUS: Studied Target => Charvion.
