GM Tyranius Sky Key Solution (Tier 5-6) (Inactive)

Game Master Tyranius

Kintampo uses his wand of shield and drops it on the floor once he has used it. He then moves into a tactical position.

Annoying images!

If green provokes an attack of opportunity:
Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Electricity Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Image? 1=true target: 1d5 ⇒ 5

Cadaeacus moves up, clasping the holy symbol around his neck and chants, "Pharasma, aid us in restoring our quest to restore our destined fates!"[/b]

Prayer: +1 luck bonus to attack rolls, weapon damage, skills, and saves! -1 to for all the enemies :)

Ghrezzd casts fly and goes to the top of the room, 30' feet above.

Gattery releases a spiritual starknife at the yellow simulacrum. Though the starknife misses its foe it bites into one of the images and disperses it into a cloud of magical dust.

Knowing the group is in dire straits Cadaeacus calls a prayer to the gods.

Ghreezd flies high as he can to the ceiling while Kintampo shields himself and stealthily creeps forward.

The green simulacrum charges a spell as his staff crackles with even more electricity as it stores a spell. Kintampo breaks his invisibility and swipes his staff at the simulacrum. Kintampo's staff misses though it does manage to take out an image.

Instead of charging around at Cadaeacus the simulacrum trns its attention to Kintampo instead as she swings her staff at the magus. Staff magus versus staff magus.

Green Staff vs Kintampo AC 24: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 8 - 1 = 18

Kintampo ducks underneath the staff as the red Simulacrum follows suit and moves into a flanking position on him.

Red Staff vs Kintampo AC 24: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 2 - 1 = 19

Kintampo manages to hold his own while the yellow Simulacrum dodges away from the starknife and fires a scorching ray at Garret.

Scorching Ray vs Garret Tch AC 12: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 - 1 = 24
Damage: 4d6 - 1 ⇒ (6, 2, 2, 1) - 1 = 10

Round 2
Garret (35/45)
Cadaeacus

Kintampo steps away and casts a spell

Shocking Grasp, defensive DC17: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

He then swings twice at the greenish simulacrum

Attack, Spell combat, Prayer: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 2 + 1 = 12 add 2 if he wears something metallic / the staff is made out of metal
Mirror Image (3 left), 1 is good: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Attack, Spell combat, Prayer: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 11 - 2 + 1 = 14 add 2 if he wears something metallic / the staff is made out of metal
Mirror Image (3 left): 1d4 ⇒ 2
Mirror Image (2 left): 1d3 ⇒ 1

Bludgeoning Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Flame damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Electricity damage: 6d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2) = 22

I thought Kintampo didn`t break his invisibility, he just casted a spell and roll in case of an AoO

Garret casts a bull's strengh on himself and moves north, to help Kintampo if they try to surround him and casts a bull's strengh on himself.

Meanwhile the spiritual starknife continues attacking the yellow simulacrum.

spiritual weapon, prayer: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 = 111d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 I'm not sure if prayer applies

I rolled in case green provoked: apparently she did. I do not understand how she is able to provoke (which likely cost him a standard action) and get in an attack, but since she missed I do not really care.

Edit: just noticed the "staff magus vs staff magus" comment. That explains things... Now let's see who is better at this!

GM: I forgot to add the +1 to damage from prayer

She provoked casting Shocking Grasp, since she didn't know you were next to her. Of which Kintampo's attack broke his invisibility. Between spell combat and spellstrike she was trying to hit him with her staff and missed. Though the shocking grasp is still active.

Garret's muscles bulge as his strength increases through divine means. Slowly he shifts in to help Kintampo while the starknife continues it's assult on one of the simulacrum.

I would think prayer would work on your spiritual weapon as well.

Though the starknife misses it is enough to clip another one of the nearby images.

Kintampo's staff flies into a flurry as he realizes he is surrounded by a pair of simulacrum with nearly the exact same fighting style. Kintampo swings his staff twice and only manages to take out two more of the images as she ducks and dodges Kintampo's electrical staff.

Round 2
Garret (35/45)
Cadaeacus

Ghrezzd flies just north of Garrett and cast a spell with a booming voice. Suddenly, a pit opens up underneath the red simulacrum.

Create Pit DC19, 30' deep.

The green dome overhead ripples and flexes, visibly weakened but still present. The same woman’s voice from earlier booms from everywhere and nowhere at once.

“This… this isn’t what I wanted. I wanted a world with purpose again—with certainty. But I suppose there is no greater way to die than in the same fiery cataclysm that marked Aroden’s first step toward divinity. Join me in martyrdom, Pathfinders, and try to die with some dignity.”

Tables, we no longer need any anchors successes! All that's left is to retake the vault!

Cadaeacus raises his holy symbol, chanting once again. "Pharasma, let us the power to change our fates to the natural order!"

Channel Energy heal, ignoring simulacrums: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 6) = 8

All allies can reroll a d20 within 5 rounds!

Cadaeacus heals his allies within the room while Ghreezd creates a decent sized pit underneath the red simulacrum. The red simulacrum leaps out of the way.

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Fall damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 4) = 10

the red simulacrum doesn't quite make it as Kintampo hears a dull thud land in the bottom of the pit.

Moving away from the pit the green simulacrum slams into Kintampo.

Bull rush vs Kintampo CMD 23: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 - 1 = 24 Provoke AoO from Kintampo.

Kintampo is thrown backwards, down into the pit as well.

Fall damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 4) = 8

The red Simulacrum stands from its fall. Provoke from Kintampo Raising its staff the red simulacrum swings her staff straight down at Kintampo.

Quarterstaff vs Kintampo Prone AC 20: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 - 1 = 21 +3 if wearing metal
Damage: 1d6 + 3 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 - 1 = 4
Electricity damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Shocking Grasp: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 1, 2, 5) = 16

The electrically charged staff slams into Kintampo's chest. His body jerks and flails about as all of the pent up energy is released.

The yellow simulacrum edges closer and releases a wave of magic missiles at Ghreezd.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2, 1) + 3 = 10

Garret (43/45)
Cadaeacus

Kintampo quickly strikes with his staff before the green similacrum slams into him

Attack of Opportunity

Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 1 = 29 +3 if wearing metal
Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 1 = 16
Flaming damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Shock damage: 6d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 2, 2, 4) = 19
Mirror Image? 1 = real: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Still alive to carry out the bull rush? If yes the bull rush fails anyway because damage subtracts from CMB. Waiting with regular round before GM reacts.

Garret charges the green simulacrum trying to finish it.

Cadaeacus, Ghreezd, come near so I can heal you!

Morningstar, prayer, charge, bull's strenght: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 301d8 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 10
2 is good: 1d2 ⇒ 2
spiritual weapon: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 271d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
spiritual critic: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 141d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
images, 4 is good: 1d4 ⇒ 3

yea that does change a couple of things. Saved you a lot of damage.

The green Simulacrum is caught off guard as Kintampo brings his staff into her chin. The blow knocks the simulacrum completely unconscious, stopping her from knocking Kintampo into the pit.

Which would change the red simulacrum's action from being able to attack at all to instead dropping its shocking grasp spell and letting loose a round of magical missiles from the pit.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1, 2) + 3 = 10

You can retcon your move Garret as Kintampo's AoO finished off the Simulacrum.

Round 3
Garret (43/45)
Cadaeacus

Three magic missiles speed towards Kintampo. Just before they would hit the Garundi man they slam into an invisible shield.

Kintampo moves towards the yellow simulacrum, leaving the red one in the pit. He casts a spell while moving and suddenly he is surrounded by 6 mirror images.

Mirror Image: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

May I just charge the other simulacrum with the same rolls?

Yup- that is fine Garret.

Garret charges across the room and smashes his morningstar right into the correct simulacrum. Fresh blood spurts across the floor and begins to flow down her face. The starknife spins through the air and rips through one of the mirror images chest, dissipating it into thin air.

The simulacrum curses loudly as the magic missiles are stopped by a all too familiar magical field. Kintampo follows suit and creates many images to his own liking as he moves away from the 30 foot deep pit.

Cadaeacus

Cadaeacus steps closer to the pit and sends missiles towards the simulacrum inside the pit.

If I don't have LoS to target the one in the pit, then redirect to Yellow

MM @ Red: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 = 9

Ghrezzd hurls a ball of snow at yellow simulacrum before flying on near Garret.

Intensified Snowball with Urea: 1d20 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 2 + 3 + 1 = 24 for cold damage of : 9d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 4, 3, 3, 6, 6, 4, 6) = 41
1 is real: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Cadaeacus steps closer to the pit and releases a wave o missiles at the easy prey. The missiles slam her back into the wall with a grunt of pain.

Ghreezd creates another intensified snowball and smashes the packed ice into the Simulacrum's neck, breaking it in place. The simulacrum falls to the ground with her neck bent at an odd angle, her eyes wide open and unblinking.

All that is left is the Simulacrum left within the 30 foot pit as she sends magical missiles back at Cadaeacus.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3, 1) + 3 = 8

Round 4
Garret (43/45)
Cadaeacus (30/38)

As Pathfinders defeat the furious simulacra, they disperse into foul mist that screams in anger before fading away entirely. Nearby, the true Lady Arodeth seems shaken by the destruction of her miasmic doppelgangers, and their deaths seem to sap her of her zealous rage.

Table GMs, this is Code Green. Code Green is in effect.

Kintampo moves to the edge of the pit and sends a javelin towards the simulacrum.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9
Image?: 1d5 ⇒ 3

The asteroid looms impossibly large overhead, and the air grows stiflingly hot as the world itself begins to rumble. High overhead, the dome of green energy shudders, twists, and finally shatters, and Pathfinders’ bodies begin melting into flowing particles as the world slips away.

Just as quickly, you stumble as Bloodwatered Meadow coalesces beneath your feet, as it does for countless other Society agents. The wildflowers bob lazily in the wind, and nothing but a few still bodies stand as testament to the bloodshed and struggle of the past five hours. Kreighton Shaine, looking several years older, staggers to his feet and gives a nervous chuckle before climbing up a small knoll and waving his arms for the crowd’s attention.

“What we have all witnessed here today has been a remarkably journey that included sights no living soul on Golarion has witnessed. The Sky Key has allowed us to walk among the serpentfolk and Azlanti, gazing upon several of the greatest events to shape Golarion and the region that would one day become the Inner Sea. Let the catastrophe that we witnessed and narrowly escaped humble us and teach us so that we might find value in preserving the messages and wisdom those lost people may have left behind for us to discover. I think we all have some responsibility to remember those who passed so that our modern world can exist.

“We survived, Pathfinders. I am proud of your Unrivaled Accomplishment!”

-----

Congrats everyone. The stakes haven't been higher for a PbP Special, but everyone rose to the occasion. I've been watching the successes come in on the Google form and it's been exciting watching you inch closer and closer to the goal! There have certainly been some super tables out there, but it's fairly clear that everyone has been working hard and contributing to the group success. I'm super proud of you guys.

At this point, you have a chance to perform Downtime activity and roll for boons. Because the house earned an Unrivaled Accomplishment, everyone gets their Secondary Success Condition.

I'd like to send a big thank you to all of the players for participating in this event, and a big thank you to all the GMs who ran this. Running and playing in the Play-by-Post specials are a lot of work in a short time, and you rose to the challenge.

If you have any feedback about how this was run at all, please either email me at jmcteague@pathfindersocietyonline.com, or email Jesse at jesse@pathfindersocietyonline.com

Kintampo leans heavily on his staff. "That were some though fights! Thank you all, we make a great team!"

"It seems that united, we restored our fates. It is a shame that our chance to see the past turned into such a fiasco."

At Kintampo's words, Cadaeacus nods. "Yes, it seems that we were destined to be together for this purpose. I am grateful for your company."

Really, with 2 clerics and 2 arcane, one of each melee capable and the other support/damage... this is a decent 4 man party. Maybe not the stealthiest, but we got the good stuff :)

"You're welcome... and I suppose a thank you to each of you is in order," Ghrezzd chokes.

It has been a pleasure to fight along you three.

At some moments it looks really rought, but Desna taught me to trust in my companions and she always advise me well. You're a good group to be with.

Garret looks pleased with today events, he has made a journey through time and had learned more of himself. Better than he had ever expected.
