House on Hook Street (Inactive)

Game Master GM Sapphire Fox

go ahead and introduce yourselves, we'll get some things out of the way so we can start on time

Kuriq I'm using you as an in for this place

Everyone around has heard of Rumors of Riches to be had trading, and wherever you were coming from, you take some time getting to the town of Old Korvosa.

The bustling streets are full of loud noises and random talk though people keep repeating the words "Shiver" and "Shiver Trade".

Kuriq you stopped by your old friend in the guard and asked you and a couple people to help with this Shiver trade issue. He tells you that lately, unsettling news has come out of Old Korvosa. Citizens have discovered dozens of ash-gray corpses.

after a bit of time passes you all meet up and discuss what has been found. Kuriq speaking up saying he was asked by an old friend to get have a small group investigate with they could, and asks if you'd join and who you are

"Hail, Kuriq. I am 'Long' Beau, cleric of Erastil. It would be a good idea to examine the victims' bodies, try to determine how they died and if others are at risk. Can your friend take us to where they have been interred?"

"Long" Beau offers Kuriq a warm smile. He smells of fresh, clean air and plowed fields. He wears a mithral breasplate beneath his brown and green cloak and functional but high-quality travel gear. He carries a longspear and has a darkwood composite longbow slung over his shoulder. A wooden symbol of a stag hangs from a thong of braided black hair around his neck. A wayfinder hangs on a mithral chain looped through his cloak's clasp.

Long Beau reaches down to scratch the ears of a large cat.

The mountain lion arches her neck and back against "Long" Beau's leg, watchful eyes blinking and tail twitching.

There is a celestial grace and beauty to her lithe form. An amulet shaped like clenched fist hangs around her neck. Scratch purrs at her benevolent master's side, and potential prey runs for cover.

If Long is fresh and clean, Henrick must appear to be his exact opposite. Wearing well-worn travelling gear, the dwarf shakes dust out of his blonde hair and beard. "Pleasure. Name's Henrick, originally of the Bulwark clan. Just got off the road, and to be honest, I am a bit parched. Was hoping for a bit of a rest before got called up again, but such is the life of a Pathfinder, I suppose. Still, intrigue and mystery do pull at my strings, so guess I can catch up on sleep when I'm dead."

Suddenly, a large snake comes slithering in behind him, as a nearby woman screams. "Stop scarin' folks, Monty! Coil up there and behave yerself. And don't try and eat that cat, there... I don't care how tasty he smells."

A respectable looking Taldan man with a shaved head wearing grey robes with a holy symbol of Pharasma prominently hanging from his chest introduces himself.

"Theodric, Theodric Milan. I believe my expertise in the cycle of life and death may prove useful here."

Kuriq is a medium sized humanoid with unusual features, He bears a sharp face with a pencil moustache, skin is an unusual pink, with eyes gleaming with a little flicker of a flame within them. His robes are dazzling and shine brightly under the light like a lantern.He is easily recognisable as a devout crusader for the Dawnflower with his white scarf, scimitar, and the holy symbol hanging from under the scarf.
And he carries a finely crafted bow and a colorful assortment of arrows.

He greets everybody and best explains the situation to them.
"Very good, I am expecting a few more to make their presence known. But once we are all ready, we shall waste no time in starting the investigation."

A dirty looking woman comes walking up to the group. She has a mithral chainshirt that makes its apperance though the holes in her shirt and cloak.

"sorry it took me a bit to get here Ricta was currious about so much. she reaches to her belt as she says this.

no we can not hurt these people were supposed to help them ......... i dont care she looks back at the group. so what did i miss

Kuriq looks puzzled and looks behind Shiva. "Who is Ricta?"

Shiva reaches down and pulls out her scimitar "sorry where are my manners everyone let me introduce Ricta Morti, Ricta this is everyone"

She puts the weapon away "i already told you were here to help them."

[b] this little guys name is bob, hes pretty much my bestfriend. he also is very curious about new things and places. is there anyone that is opposed to his random questions.

he sits and looks at the group with wonder and excitement in his eyes

ah my friend nice to see you again. as well as you to bob she walks over and gives elsbeth a warm and gentle embrace and pats bob on the top of the head.

No sooner had you gotten the words out of your mouths, the city begains to change, almost as if it was warping to a new reality, as though the ground beneath has changed you end up in completely different areas of the street you were standing in, as a green fog seems to be coming down the street towards you

As far as Shiva knows there is a Green Fog with a face in it coming down the streets as she starts to move back hopefully out of the way

Let's go with "Beau" rather than "Long." Is there a link to the map? Do you want my animal companion to use my initiative roll?

Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Beau cannot determine the nature of the green fog either. He grasps his holy symbol aloft and calls on Erastil's aid.
Prayer 40' burst centered on Beau. Duration: 6 rounds. Allies gain a +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks, while each of your foes takes a –1 penalty on such rolls.

Scratch roars a battle cry and awaits his master's command.

[*edit*]Scratch moves to "Long" Beau's side.

Companions will go on their masters turn, and map is linked at the top

no knowledge planes, out of range of prayer.

A bit off put by the sudden change of scenery Theodric furrows his brow as he draws and activates his wand of mage armor.

Knowledge, planes: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Knowledge, religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

"Wow, it got weird quicker than usual this time. I am just going to hazard a guess, but green fog with a face.... can't be good."

Henrick looks for cover, and then casts Detect Poison on the cloud.

Henrick not able to ID the creature and detects no poison from the creature, Beau can't even fathom what this thing is.

as this creature moves forward, you notice a body shambling in the direct center, as well as 4 bodies can be seen being dragged behind it, one of them screaming in terror, or pain, you aren't sure which however Theodrics Dodo Companion sees it coming and is attacked by it

Need a will save from the companion DC 9

attack vs touch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Damage: 6d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 1, 4, 2, 4) = 19 Negative Energy

Kuriq moves into a position where he would be able to see the fog. "What is that fog thing?" He yells in confusion. He quickly withdraws an arrow from quiver, as he does, his hands glows a hot red and illuminates the arrow in a white flame. He fires a shot into the fog to see what would occur.

+1 Flaming Longbow, Silver Arrows: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 281d8 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (5) = 9 (d6 is fire damage)

Swift:Activate Flaming, Move and Attack

Elsbeth and Bob move to regroup, Kuriq not wasting anytime trying to figure it out fires and seems to affect the fog with no issue

Mango flees in terror, withdrawing to the south.

Theodric, still a bit unsure about the fog fires a trio of magic missiles at it.

MM: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3, 4) + 3 = 14

AoO vs touch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 miss

Theodric shoot it with MM and some of it goes through

spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Does Theodric have any idea why his magic missile wasn't entirely effective?

not without knowing the creature

"Long" Beau closes within thirty feet of the fog and holds up his holy symbol of Erastil, releasing a wave of positive energy at the creature.
Channel Positive Energy: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 3) = 8 Will DC16 for half damage.

"Let's see if this has any effect on the foul creature."

"ok guys this is gonna hurt but im going in."

ill try and hold it at bay but will need people ready to heal

as Shiva connects her attack, she thought she dealt a serious blow to the creature and seems like it would, but in comparison, a small fraction did anything

"OK, well I ain't fer knownin' what this is, but let's see if I dissect it a bit."

Henrick steps in and slices with his urgrosh axe blade.

Attack, +1 blade, power attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

+2 to attack and damage if an evil outsider, +4 if its undead

Henrick i am showing you 45' away with a speed of 20'?

Sorry - I didn't see there was a map when I responded. If you want to use the original roll, subtract 2 from the below.

Henrick loads his crossbow, takes a 5' step to get a clear shot, and then shoots at the face.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

+2 to attack and damage if an evil outsider, +4 if its undead

Henrick fires and hits the beast but his arrow seems to have no effect

the Creature lashes out at Shiva

Touch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
Confirm: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Damage: 6d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 5, 5, 3, 4) = 29 Negative energy

after touching Shiva there is a chill that goes through her spine as it moves forward 5'

Kuriq continues to attempt to engulf the fog in holy fire since he knows it somewhat works. (Flavour only.. no holy damage) He holds his longbow high as he draws some more arrows. More arrows fly in the direction of the creature.

+1 Flaming Longbow, RS, PS: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 - 2 = 271d8 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (3) = 7
+1 Flaming Longbow, RS, PS: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 2 = 211d8 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 1 + (4) = 10

Swift: Activate Flaming, Full Round: Rapid Shot.

Same arrows as before or regular arrows?

Kuriq will continue using the same arrows if it worked the first time. So Silver arrows with the flaming ability.

"Elsbeth, what is this fog creature? How can we defeat it?" "Long" Beau asks.

"My prayer spell hasn't seemed to have an effect on us or on the creature. That is very troubling."

"Long" Beau considers the effects of the team's attacks and the creature's actions thus far.

Although the fog creature's touch inflicts negative energy damage, it isn't vulnerable to positive energy.
The creature seemed to not feel some of the effects of Shiva's blackblade, though her spell seemed to penetrate its defenses.
Henrik's crossbow bolt hit but had no effect.
What about Kuriq's flaming arrows? Hmm, can't tell yet.

Kuriq hits with no issue, seeming his flaming arrows are hitting full force

Elsbeth shouts "This isn't good, its a Dreamspawn Hungry fog"

Elsbeth, what 1 thing do you want to know about it?

Shiva, will save

"lit it up up up light it up up up light it up up up im on fire."

-Posted with Wayfinder

GM, just for clarity, my archtype allows me to activate flaming ability on the weapon, so the d8+1 damage is still magic/silver for purposes of DR & Immunities, and only the d6 is considered fire.

"It hurts with fire! At least we know that. Let the vile fog burn!"

"What can I do to hurt this thing?"

Henrick loads a cold iron bolt and tries that.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

"Sqwak!" shouts Mango as he flees further from the fog.
