GM Tyranius Year of the Shadow Lodge (Tier 10-11) (Inactive)

Game Master Tyranius

Sareth holds aloft his holy symbol and light streams forth:

Selectively channeling to heal: 5d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 6, 1, 2) = 11

HE then motions the blade towards the same dragon targeted by Oxirane: ATK: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20 DMG if hit: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Prayer and Bardic don't affect the Spiritual Weapon... right?

Waiting for a DM summary before I post.

Seeing the scales and flesh of the dragon flying around, Voros shrugs in a bored way. "Weaklings."

Save Ref: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 15 + 2 + 1 = 31

He steps on the side quickly enough to dodge most of the acid spat by the other dragon and turns to face it with his longbow, shooting three arrows. When it's done, he welcome the warmth given by Sareth's osiriani aura. "A taste of the desert!" he says, thanking him.

Aiming Red:

+2 Conductive Longbow, Rapid, Clustered Shots, PBS, heroism, HF, prayer, 1: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 14 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 37

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

Boswick reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Rogar tends to his injuries as he flies up to meet the dragon face to face. His axe finds a home firmly between the dragon's scales.

Rogar Vicious damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Sareth sends out a wave of positive energy, healing all that he can. His scimitar flies across the air, bouncing harmlessly off of the dragon's hard scales. I don't believe so Sareth

Voros' arrows fly past Rogar. Two stick right in the dragon's neck causing it to fall heavily to the ground below all the while Oxirane's vicious blows fell the dragon on the ground.

The group has little time to revel in their meager victory as they rush from the Stadium.

Now read the Overseer Post. Will give a moment to roleplay and update more in a bit.

I updated my hitpoints, since I ended my defensive stance, I lost them 20 hitpoints, temporary increases to con are the worst and make no sense.

Rogar landing quickly, "Aye'right, we gotta get ther' quick like, can we all fly? Ai'll lend my potion fer this to get us there in time,"

"Who doesn't have a potion, or spell already cast on them?"

"I can use my faith to walk the air. It pains me to not stop and help, but I think it'll take people like us to stop this madness." Sareth's look is one of genuine pain.

The curse of power. A couple years ago I would have stopped to helpthe least of us. Now I walk past them. Am I truly this jaded?

"I can get there plenty fast on my feet. Save your magic."

Unless everyone flying helps us bypass stuff.

Boswick still has flying from Alie and a potion to let someone drink, or save for later if needed.

We may want to fly low across the city, seeing if we can help those in need! But the true evil must be vanquished at the Grand Lodge and the sooner the better.

Boswick stands conflicted wanting to help those that can't help themselves on one hand, but wanting to destroy the wicked evil awaiting them.

Wow, that was fun!

Voros sighs in relief as the waves of enemies stop. He looks around and the chaos in the streets. "I can fly if needed." he answers to the others, taking an extract from his bandoleer but not drinking it for now.

@GM -- is it possible to fly straight to the Grand Lodge? or do we need to stop along the way? Boswick is conflicted, but it sounds like the group wants to go straight there; if it's not designed that way I would say we fly low or run fast and try to help people on the way.

There are too many dragons still flying over the city to fly high enough to just get straight to the Grand Lodge

With so many enemies still overhead within the city the group sets out to the grand lodge as quickly as possible. Emerging onto the streets of Absalom, now clogged with panic-stricken former revelers, the group rushes to the Grand Lodge to stop the disaster. The streets are filled with fear, mayhem, and dozens of goblin forces. Plotting a course toward the Grand Lodge still proves simple enough, however, given the immense pillar of light streaking up into the night sky. As Pathfinders race to the Lodge, they enter a market where pooling trails of acid streak the streets. Several buildings and large tents here have collapsed, their remnants now scattered across the market, forming a defensible barricade manned by more of these vile creatures. All of the nearby streets are choked with fleeing Absalom citizens—the market seems like the only way through.

from behind the many barricades flies wave after wave of arrows, citizens and pathfinders alike fall to their onslaught as goblins use it as a means of extreme cover. A human woman in the rear seems to be bolstering their forces as she chants spell after spell, making them even stronger.

Alie refreshes her Haste spell on the group and moves to any cover available if any is located within 50'.

Oxirane rushes forward, summoning his own draconic power, and unleashes a torrent of ice on the goblin dogs.

Dragon's Breath ki power on the four goblin dogs up top, 30 foot cone of cold damage. They probably get some cover on the Reflex save. DC 20.

Cold: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 6, 2, 2, 1, 6, 4, 4, 6) = 39

Yay! More cleric initiative! :-)

"Let us deal with these infidels quickly and decisively!"

Voros, hasted, feels ready to fight at his full potential. He nods in sign of thanks to the Stormtamer and shouts to Bos and Rogar "Go for the woman!"

He runs on the left wing of the party and charges a bomb on an arrow and fires it at the yellowish goblin in the back.

Explosive missile (Bomb infused on ammo), PBS, heroism, haste: 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 24
for Arrow and Bomb: 1d8 + 3 + 5d6 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 3 + (3, 2, 4, 1, 6) + 9 = 29

Alie casts haste on the party, increasing their speed as she quickly duscks behind one of the market stalls.

This place has cover everywhere. Each of the buildings and stalls provides cover.

Voros charges a bomb onto one of his arrows and lets it fly at the goblin. The bomb strikes it right in the shoulder, nearly killing it in a single blow as it picks itself up, extremely dazed. Severe burns cover the majority of it's body but it still stands.

Oxirane runs in opens his mouth releasing a cloud of intense frost upon three of the goblin dogs.

The stall would protect the purple one I believe as it is nearly on the opposite side of it. Not going to roll reflex as even half damage would kill them.

The cold frost rushes over the dogs before they even have a chance to yip. As Oxirane ceases to breath the dogs are found frozen in place as they slowly begin to crumble.

Two of the goblin dogs quickly pounce around Oxirane as they flank him.

Purple vs Oxirane AC 29: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Yellow vs Oxirane AC 29; flanking: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 + 2 = 19

Oxirane- Need a DC 12 Fort save or you have an allergic reaction to the bite taking -2 to dex and cha for 1 day

One of the goblin dogs gets ahold of Oxirane's leg and doesn't want to let go, tearing a small bit of his skin.

The lone remaining goblin dog charges at Voros.

Red vs Voros AC 22; charging: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 = 5

Voros quickly sidesteps the beast.

I think that Boswick asked to be boted.

Hasted, Boswick rushes with remarkable speed toward the goblins in the back of the market, tapping his armor along the way, longsword drawn and at the ready.

Double move, swift: Activate Crusading AC +2 (Current 30 Haste + Crusading)

Yes please bot me! Don't let me slow the game down, playing or running back to back 3 scenarios today, so I won't be able to check at all...sorry!

Boswick blindly rushes forward.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

With his focus on the goblin he fails to notice the precariously set tarp above him and a set of heavy rocks and other debris set within the barricade come crashing down on top of him.

Damage: 7d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 3, 6, 4, 3, 3) = 29
Reflex Boswick: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

Boswick narrowly leaps out of the way as the goblins giggle and move back and fire their shortbows at Bowswick, Oxirane and Voros.

Red vs Oxirane AC 29: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Green vs Boswick AC 27: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

All of the arrows fall a bit short as they get caught in the tarps above.

Sareth strode boldly forward not worrying about the chaos of battle all around. He looks only at the woman pulling the strings. He speaks only loud enough for those nearest him to hear, "Sarenrae, lend me your burning judgement for but a moment..."

Flame Strike: DMG: 11d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 2, 5, 2, 5, 5, 5, 3, 6) = 38 DC 22.

Alie casts Create Pit under the female, trying to eliminate her from the scrum.

DC 20 Reflex save to avoid.

Rogar places a hand on his stoneplate, concentrating, shortly there after a small earthy humanoid climbs out of his stoneplate, then his necklace with a large grey gem begins glowing a soft eerie green, providing illumination.

Looking at the creature, "Hah, welcome, let's go,"

Rogar will then move up 40 feet.

The small earthy humanoid(earth elemental), responds in Terran, the sound of gravel cascading down a mountain side and then dips into the cobblestone ground like a fish dipping beneath the waves.

Surging forward 40 feet, trying to keep up with Rogar.

Double move, this is Dwayne my Earth Elemental companion, instead of getting a horse or weapon, Stonelords get these lame Earth Elemental companions. He is a good scout but otherwise is a CR3 medium earth elemental with the celestial template

@ Sareth and Alie- There are multiple structures blocking your view of the woman. Each of those constructs are large tents and small shacks. You would not have Line of Sight to her.

I hadn't assumed that about the carts. I've moved so that there's only people between. Let me know if this line gives me LoS

My bad, DM. Can I see any of them from my spot, or moving ahead 50'?

Rogar summons a small earth elemental companion fashioned from the cobblestone path to aid him as Sareth calls down a pillar of flame from the heavens themself. The torrent of flame circles upon itself quickly, burning Melyra.

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Half of her body severely burned Melyra steps behind the small hut and begins a loud and boisterous prayer to Groetus.

Boswick takes a -1 to att / dam, saves and skill checks for 10 rounds

Not quite able to see the woman anymore Alie rushes around the southern side of the tent and creates a large pit near where she believes the cleric to be.

Melyra Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 4) = 13

Yellow Goblin Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 3) = 7

The yellow goblin hurtles to the bottom of the pit, breaking it's neck. Melyra nearly leaps out of the way, she would have made it too if it wasn't for the pesky goblin grabbing ahold of her ankle and dragging her down.

Voros steps back towards Allie and shoots four arrows at the goblin dog. If he dies before that, he'll try to aim at another target, even if it seems unlikely. I'll aim at red :)

Voros steps back and riddles the remaining goblin dog with an arrow and sending his other three at the green goblin just north of Boswick, dropping both to the ground.

Boswick rushes the remaining goblin and slashes at it with his lightning charged longsword.

+1 Shock Adamantine Longsword: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

The goblin ducks under his blade as it drops its bow and draws its shortsword and stabs at Boswick.

Red vs Boswick AC 28: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

The msall goblin seems enchanted by Boswick's lightning blade as the sparks leap all along it.

From inside the pit you hear vile curses. I give. I will tell you everything if you just let me out of this damned pit.

Rogar double moves up, behind Boswick, huffing, out of breath from running across this battlefield, "Huff, good . . job guys, phew that was a tough one"

Dwayne glides up underneath Rogar, staying underneath him.

"Everyone gather around and take her out if she gets tricky.". Alie hustles with the rest of them to question the woman. "Why are you consorting with goblins? What's the meaning behind this attack? Where did all these dragons come from?"

"throw your weapons and spellcasting gear out of the pit your evil wretch!"

Sareth will move to the pit.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Seeing mostly everyone breaking through the barrier the remaining goblin runs off into the sewers below.

Melyrna tosses a heavy flail out of the pit. This is all that bastard Charvion's fault! Initially he wanted to use some device within the Lodge to access some supposedly secret scrolls buried beneath the masoleum. She smiles. I was only meant to be a distraction, not a slaughter.

She leans back against the wall of the pit. Charvion's gone too far and moved too rashly, the impatient fool and without consent from our allies. She move to the center of the pit. Now let me out of here!

Boswick stares down into the pit, What's Charvion say is on these scrolls, so important to cause all this destruction and mayhem?

I have returned, thanks for botting me and sorry if I slowed things down.

Rogar'll lower a rope to the poor girl, "Here ya go, hang on," and begin pulling her up. He doesn't mind if she has surrendered her weapons or not. "Ya better have a good reason for us let ya go, otherwise its jail,"

Alie couldn't dismiss her spell even if she wanted to, so she stands by while the others help the evil woman out.

What's Charvion say is on these scrolls, so important to cause all this destruction and mayhem?

He searches for Ekrimat Azu’s secret cache of scrolls. Azu was a great sorcerer who Charvion believes to have been one of the earliest members of the Society, if not one of the founders of the Decemvirate. Charvion seeks legendary scrolls that are supposedly buried and that tehy may reveal the founding secrets of the Decemvirate—even of the entire Pathfinder Society.

"Ya better have a good reason for us let ya go, otherwise its jail,"

Better than me just telling you everything I know?

"I can't dismiss this pit. It'll go away in a few seconds though. It's a good thing we are busy, or I'd stay here and have the others box your ears. If we see you again, you are going down!"

Alie turns to the others. "We have to keep moving to save the others. Take the weapon she threw up and let's move!"

Boswick casts detect evil on the woman.

Voros stands at the edge of the eyeing the woman, not at ease. He wonders if the woman tells the truth or if she's telling half-truths.

Sense motive: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Oxirane studies the captive's expression as well.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32
