[Game Day 6-PFS]GM Z..D.. 8-15 Hrethnar' Throne (Inactive)

Game Master Z...D...

Araina swings at Gronk. She connects, and then takes a step back.

Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27
Damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

The large beast lashes out at Saint Germaine as he approaches, ripping into his flesh. Germaine takes 11 from the AOO

The ant flies in and harasses the creature, but it is not able to bite it.

Ariana connects on Gronk. Gronk takes 18 damage

To Act-Gronk, Orophin, Seltyiel(confused pending CL check, needs to make the CL check from last round and can take this rounds worth of actions.)

-Player Status-
Gronk(confused/18 damage)
Ariana(34 damage/confused)
Seltyiel(confused pending CL check)
Orophin(confused)
Saint Germiane(11 damage)

Gronk has 4 images..

Image: 1d5 ⇒ 3 image poped, there at 4 of him now..

Gronk follows and attacks twice again..

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29
Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Dam: 1d12 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28

confused song to sing: 1d100 ⇒ 79
Sorry tiger

"They say that music sooths the savage beast. Let us put this to the test!"

Once again the singer calls out a pure note of unspeaking beauty, summoning a mystic glaive that attacks the tiger.

spiritual weapon: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

There is not a tiger, but a flying summoned ant drone. DR5/evil will stop the damage, I believe. Unless you are talking about the mind-creature thingy.

Guess it is the flying ant drone that gets the spiritual weapon then.

Ok got you ZD, here goes nothing...

Caster Check v DC 21: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Seltyiel is unable to break the creatures enchantment. He feels the wave of confusion wash over him again. He once again attempts to call forth arcane words to break the spell, but the words trail off into meaningless blather as the search for words of power lead into worthless gnome limericks.

Land of Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 50

@Orophin - I checked and spiritual weapon would bypass the ant's DR. So GM, add 4 damage to ant

The attack what attacked you clause on confusion really sucks.. It gives no chance of acting normally. Stupid clause imo.

Gronk steps up and retaliates against Ariana.

Seltyiel mumbles to himself.

Orophin, confusion states you attack the nearest creature. Which would be either Seltyiel or Wembly. Since they are on either side of you on the steps. I will go ahead and roll randomly. 1 wembly,
2 seltyiel: 1d2 ⇒ 1. So Wembly gets attacked by the magical glaive.

The creature, furious that the ant it just slaughtered came back, lashes back at it. The two claws and one tentacle takes out the ant. The three remaining tentacles lash out at Germaine, two of them connect and start to rend into him. Somehow the tentacles seem to drain the senses from germaine. Germaine takes 22 damage, and need a DC 22 will save. Failure means you take 1d4 ⇒ 1 wisdom drain.

Pathfinders are up.

Sorry, I must have been looking at the wrong map - looks like hte one from the first fight!

confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 94

"A music critic. Oh how I dispise you Seltiel!"
says the oracle, turning his glaive on the Magus
attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

target,1=Wembly: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Flipping the blade slightly to try a different tactic, Saint Germaine once again attempts to attack the beast, hoping that by slaying it, it might release his allies from it's fiendish spell.

Vital Strike vs Moon Beast: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Piercing, Adamantine, Magic Damage: 2d10 + 18 ⇒ (10, 7) + 18 = 35

I'm attempting to see if Piercing seems to affect it more or less than Slashing had, and next round Bludgeoning.

" mumble mumble mumble mumble"

Confusery: 1d100 ⇒ 75

Annoyed to the point of violence at his own incoherent jabbering, Seltyiel cracks himself in the forehead with the hilt of his own sword. Blood streams down the magus' face and he stumbles, uneasy on his feet, made woozy by his own hand.

"Ow"

Self inflicted sword hilt bash: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 81

Ariana swings at Gronk again, and takes another step back.

Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34
Damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Wembly will step back from the spirtual glaive and summon another ant to harrass the creature or at least draw its attacks.

Stop it! All of you, stop! Please. Stop attacking each other!

He screams out in disbelief as his friends attack each other below.

Not trying to kill myself or anything, but I think you are supposed to attack all out Ariana.. That means full attack if you're only moving 5'. Basically the way I understand it is that I am your enemy atm. That means everything you would do to an enemy you do to me, hence my rage and power attacking you..

Image: 1d4 ⇒ 2 another image poped. 3 of him now.

Step up and attack Ariana.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30
Attack 2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Dam: 1d12 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26

I agree, but it's also one of the aspects of the game I dislike, (as a DM), as it takes away the one thing the players get to control. The way I view it, the spell takes away your ability to identify others as friend or foe, and leaves you unsure. I don't think it is too much of a stretch to want to hold back, because you really do not know, you are just reacting. But, I would also suggest that if you do hold back, it goes for everything, including the enemies, and probably does not apply to attacking someone that attacked you, as again, you are reacting.

I also do not like the way confusion works, being victim of it many time in the past, and had a character killed off from it. And I agree with Beckett(Germaine) in the fact that if you hold back, it goes for everything.

And Seltyiel, you were supposed to attack Orophin, unfortunately, since she attacked you with her spirit blade.

Saint Germaine just misses with his strike.

Orophin sends her spirit glaive towards Seltyiel, which he ducks out of the way.

Gronk and Ariana continue to assault one another.

Will wait for Seltyiel's adjusted action before posting the Moonbeast's actions

Sigh I really didn't want to kill anyone today. OK all out it is. One more good hit from Gronk and I'm down let's hope not too far negative. ;)

Sorry ZD, did not catch that I needed to attack Orophin. Just so I don't lose track, I believe Selty has been confused for three rounds. First round, I rolled low so was allowed to act normally. Selty tried to dispel the effect using dispel magic but failed. Round 2, I rolled a 50, so that was incoherent babbling. Round three was a 75, which directed Selty to hit himself in the head. Was Selty supposed to return attack Orophin because she attacked Selty or did I miss a roll somewhere?

I might have a temporary solution. Can anyone see through mist?

Orophin summoned a spiritual weapon which made a (failed) attack on Seltyiel. While he might not recognise that as coming from Orophin, the ranting and raving about a music critic may have given things away. :-(

Wembly has been focused on providing a plaything for the moon creature, to keep Saint from getting too much attention. I had hoped to give our fighters a couple squishies to distract them from each other, but my ants are not lasting long..and other spiritual distractions. This confusion is all very confusing. :)

LOL, no doubt! I am definitely having my sorcerer pick up this spell next level.

I was thinking, a friendly fire Black Tentacles or Create Pit might also possibly save lives. I don't mind taking a few hits, but Im not sure how effective 20% Miss Chance will really be since too many of us are already too close, and may simply postpone the inevitable. Maybe a targetted Grease?

I had thought about pit or tentacles, but with the close quarters figured it would make it a mess down there. Grease may be worth a shot

Was Selty supposed to return attack Orophin because she attacked Selty or did I miss a roll somewhere?

Yes since Orophin attacked Selty, you should have attacked her since she attacked you. Unfortunately the rules say attack, not hit.

Germaine will save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22 Close

The confusion continues.

Saint Germain is able to fight off the evil beasts draining abilities for now.

The beast grows even more frustrated with the ants, ripping another in half. Leaving only one tentacle for germaine to take. Germaine takes 7 damage this round.

Pathfinders are up.

Hopefully not a Crit 2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Two misses.. Which actually sucks since dropping her would allow him a chance to act normal next round..

Ariana swings twice at Gronk. She only hits him once.

Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22
Damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
Damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Attack Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
Damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Whew that crit missed.

You actually hit twice with me raging..

Images: 1d3 ⇒ 1 hit
1d3 ⇒ 3 pop, Only two of him now..

Seltyiel tuns on Orophin, rage in his eyes. Channeling power to his blade, he swings it an a lancing arc toward the oracle.

[ooc]Sorry Orophin. Selty uses arcane point to add shocking burst to weapon, move action to engage and takes standard action to attack Orophin.[ooc]

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + (4) + 5 = 10

No worries. That is 10 lethal and another five non lethal. Orophin gets knocked out easily

"I knew you were no music lover. Oh how I despise critics. No hiding behind a poison pen for you!"

Posting from phone - may try grease. Will have to post tomorrow- spent tonight in ER so ran out of time. Please bot if holding up show

First going defensive and summoning yet another form of sacred Protection just before stepping away from the Moon Beast as he sees things are truly going poorly for the team, Saint Germaine finds he has little option left, and draws a small vial from his pouch, then throws it at his own team, focusing on an area just between them to minimize damage, but maybe, just maybe force them to focus on him, and then, with any luck, he can draw them slowly to the Moon Beast and, at this point, hope beyond hope, maybe it will attack them and force them to return their wrath on it.

Artoku's Fire Targeting a Square (AC 10): 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 4 = 19
Splash Fire Damage to Gronk, Orophin, and Seltyiel: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Fervor cast Shield of Faith (swift)
Draw Artoku's Fire (Move)
Throw Artoku's Fire while Fighting Defensively (Standard)
Current AC = 28, 30 vs Evil

You beast!" cries Orophin.

"I will treat you as roughly as you treat my art."

Germaine tosses the flask, while dodging the beasts claw, and draws the ire of his companions.

Orophin sends he spiritual glaive towards the war priest. Making slight contact.
Bot spirit weapon to germaine: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20miss

The moon beast attacks germaine with claws and tentacles, but only lands once. Take another 8 points of damage

Pathfinders are up. Wembly you may take 2 rounds of actions

Gronk(20 damage/confused/ must attack Germaine)

Seltyiel(2 damage/confused/must attack Germaine)
Orophin(12 damage/confused/must attack Germaine)
Saint Germiane(48 damage)
Wembly (4 damage)

Will Follow Gronk as he attacks Germaine since I'm after him in the order.

Ariana will follow Gronk to attack him.

+1 Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31
Damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

"RAWWRR!!"

He charges Germaine..

Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22 looks like a miss

Image: 1d2 ⇒ 2 last image is poped by Ariana..

"Cretin! You will pay for those horrible reviews. I know you now. You Iso Soturi. Barbarian! "

The spiritual weapon continues to hack at Germain.
attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

He then grasps his morning star and advances roughly toward the perceived critic.

"I, who have enthralled audiences of the dead as well as the living. And you DARE to call it Caterwauling. The wailing will all be yours."

Wembly has a plan, misguided as it may be.

Ariana, Gronk, play with these...stop fighting each other.

He will summon his last two giant ant drones, but instead of attacking the creature, have them attack the two fighters, trying to draw their ire.

Ant #1 attack(bite/sting) on each Gronk and Ariana

Ant #2 attack(bite/sting) on each Gronk and Ariana

This probably won't work perfectly, but the hope is they attack and kill the ants and stop attacking each other. He cannot summon #2 until #1 is dead. If it is possible for a summoner to use is Class ability to summon more than one creature of a lesser level, he does that.

Kinda hoping the thing takes an AoO on him lol.. It's prob smarter than that though.

Continuing to act definsively, Saint Germaine swiftly casts Grace on himself, Channels some of the last bits of his holy powers to cause a wave of healing energy to wash over everyone, including the Moon Beast, and then falls back towards the Moon Beast.

Channel Healing: 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 3, 4) + 1 = 11
Grace is a Swift Action spell, (not Fervor), that allows me to move without Provoking for 1 round

Wembly, would you mind summoning your pet near me instead. I'm attempting to draw everyone to the Moon Beast's area, hoping they take an AoO from it as they come after me, and are then forced to attack it due to Confusion. But I can only Channel one more time, and I am also on the verge of dying.

Oops yes I will do that - if GM allows. I missed the flame attack was already doing what Wembly was trying with the ants. Sorry for missing it...has been crazy past couple days.

Yes, I'll allow it

Seltyiel roars in frustration as Germain's holy fire singes his precious long flowing white locks. He runs to engage the embattled Saint.

Not sure how far Germaine is from Selty's position. He will take double move to get there or full action to run if necessary.
