Aucturn’s Tear is tied to the Elemental Plane of Earth and has stronger gravity than other objects its size, but it is still only one-fifth that of Golarion. PCs can jump five times as high and lift five times as much as normal, and projectiles have their range categories quintupled. Reduce the die size of damage dealt by falling to 1d4. Certain effects such as elemental interactions and areas may have different gravity. Creatures in a region of high gravity weigh twice as much, move at half speed, can jump only half as far, and can lift half as much. Their projectiles’ range increments are halved, and the die size of damage dealt by falling to 1d10. A creature under the effects of freedom of movement can ignore the personal effects, but projectiles remain affected.
500 feet above the asteroid, and certain areas inside, are in hard vacuum. Characters that enter hard vacuum immediately begin to suffocate (Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook 445), and become depressurized, taking 3d6 points of damage each round (no save). Sound is muffled as per a silence spell.
thunderous aid:
Ranginori has sensed his saviors are near and attempts to grant them his power and wisdom. During combat, a PC adjacent to the puzzle orb can attempt an Average Diplomacy check, Average Spellcraft check, or Easy Use Magic Device check to direct the Duke of Thunder’s wrath. If successful, a PC can cast one of the following spells as a spell-like ability, using her character level as her caster level and either her own Charisma or 20 to determine the spell’s save DC. She can use any of the spells listed in her own subtier or in a lower subtier. This ability can only be used once per combat, and any summoned elemental disappears at the end of the combat.
Subtier 1–2: cure light wounds, shocking grasp, summon
nature’s ally II (air elemental only)
Subtier 3–4: cat’s grace, cure moderate wounds
Subtier 5–6: cure serious wounds, lightning bolt, summon
nature’s ally IV (air elemental only)
Subtier 7–8: call lightning storm, cure critical wounds,
summon nature’s ally V (air elemental only)
Subtier 10–11: summon nature’s ally VI (air
elemental only)
Use the link under my GM handle to get to the presentation. In there the first slide you come to should have a place for initiative and perception and any notes I need to be made aware of for the said rolls.
Second Slide, some handy doodles and the AOE chart, as well as a place for marching order. Please place your self on that for my sake, thank you.
Third Slide is the map. Please Copy and Past tokens on there. This map does not call out where the bad guys are placed or where you enter, lets go with the middle first.
At the top of the message board under the title of the game is a URL. This is what I do for knowledges. I will post the knowledge check and two spoilers. if you get the DC, the first one gives you the usual alignment of the creature, type sub-type, and name. If you meet the second spoiler, please refer to the link above for questions.

My initiative changes based on location. I doubt urban will kick in but Underground (caves and dungeons) might. If so want me to just add that in or do you want to track it?
I remember that map. Some scary stuff went down on that map.
She will always keep her quarterstaff in one hand and a wand of shillelagh in the other. If something would prevent her from doing so (or if it would just be considered rude to an NPC), please let me know.

I presume I can't switch my bow mid-adventure but yes when this is over I plan to convert my +3 bow to a +1 Holy bow. I might need GM initials on that.
i'll be more than happy to sign off on the change on the chronicle. And since is the first encounter. You can go ahead and change it now, it may be useful later.
I f!%&ing hate cursed wounds, and do not understand how in the hell they put clay golems in 7-11 scenarios. Even with an 11th-level cleric, that one hit would eat up all of his third level spells, on average.
And to make matters worse, the golem is always in the first combat.
Hey all, GM Hmm here. There’s been a crazy site outage going on for most Paizo users. For some reason I can get in while connected to mobile, so I’m just letting you know what is going on. Your GMs are trying to get back in and will post as soon as they are able.

The elemental has already taken 11 str damage. We've seen the Shadow hit it when it rolled a 2. So on a conservative estimate it will hit 8 more times for an average of 28. Does the elemental have over 39 Str?
If course if we are waiting for all of the tables to finish before moving on then there is no reason not to have Sir Godfrey make the rolls.
I have scrolls of cure critical wounds and breath of life, and Z...D... has approved me loaning them to you for the scenario. If you want, you can use them on Hugsy, then replace them at the end. Effectively, we would be expending your copies rather than mine.
It's expensive, and even with those caster levels it's a longshot, but it's the only chance of healing Hugsy.
Ragner, I agree. Since the website has been spotty . I will go ahead and end this encounter. 28 strength damage will end the scenario. I will start working on the next part of the scenario.

Should have done it before, but here is Alvin's spell list. I am crossing off spells he has used on his profile. This spell list is the same as in his character sheet.

Website broke again in between me posting Alvin and Riddywipple, so had to post from phone. Will update HP etc when can use my computer again.
I'm just checking PMs right now, and don't have time to really post. But I see that there are 21 posts in the gameplay. So don't let me hold you up, even if it's just for a few hours.

I hoped he would survive more then one whole fight.
But the rolls were high enough to be hitting Gwynnis or Godfrey so mostly I'm thinking better Hugsy then a player.
Z.. D.. on my chronicle you can put down that Ragnar acquired a new Large Snake (no cost) and took 10 on training it.
Even Godfrey is going to take a beating. It's why I've switched to spring attack. My level 9 tank went toe to toe against a 10-11 dragon last weekend and even he was feeling it.
I don't understand what we are trying to do here. As soon as anybody attacks the elemental, that effectively unconfuses it. But we can't move forward without attacking it.
If I understand things correctly, we get several chances to choose paths, do we want to consider getting off the earth path at the next junction? All these earth things have really high to hit and damage, which seems to be a bit much for our front line.
Needs some input from the more experienced at the table. If the monster was summoned from a spell, does it get dismissed when the person who summoned it dies?

Let me know if my Phantasmal Killers are getting too much. I try to only use it when there's more than one enemy, and usually it fails. In fact, this is the first scenario where it has worked (and twice at that)!
(I might recall one more with the boon and save it for a dire situation next time)

Exactly. You ran into a bit of back luck on the ship with those killers. But also by the time we are this high level, folk have pretty good saves and you get two shots at in on two different save categories. Which is kind of fair for a 4th level save or die spell.

I have only ever seen phantasmal killer used once before I think and that was me as a GM throwing it at a raging barbarian. 3 followed by a 2, oops, dead barbarian.

Hey, just wanted to let you know of this new "FAQ-ish blog thing" that came out. Link.
I asked in the comments how this would work for my Improved Familiar in CORE. The TDLR version that applies to me is that Familiars no longer get automatic neck slots, so Riddywipple wouldn't be able to wear the Necklace of Adaptation.
Familiars are now able to give up one feat when they are acquired to get "Extra Item Slot," which will be printed in the next Organized Play Guide (and hence CORE legal). However, this posed a problem because it's not CORE legal yet. I asked that question, and here is the response I got, so basically:
TLDR; Riddywipple is losing the Acrobatic feat for Extra Item Slot (Neck) so he can keep wearing his Necklace of Adaptation. Will modify the stats a little later, but doesn't really affect much at all.

This makes my Core druid sad. Now I have to buy my tiger a cloak of protection at the very least. And probably a strength belt. He'll be perpetually broke.
I apologize for not posting lately. I have heat exhaustion, and it's a lot more draining in real life than in Pathfinder. I don't even have the mental energy to watch a movie without taking a nap.
The good news is that two days of rest and lots of water is all its supposed to take to recover, so I'll hopefully be back on Tuesday.
