If that works the way you think it does, then why are we trying to pop the bubble? As I recall the only reason to pop the bubble is because doing so makes the Urgulstasta revert to normal, instead of the big city eating monstrosity.
If Raknian pays a guy to come down and do it for us...good. Saved us some trouble.
Right, but if it's released now (or tomorrow, or at any point after the death of its summoner) it's still just a ulgurstasta, not an apostle, because it didn't finish cooking.
At least that's how I've been reading this.
Unfortunately, you guys don't know how powerful the Apostle/ulgurstasta currently is. You also don't know who the reader was, though you do know what makes the thing revert back to normal: Time. Assuming nobody releases it, it will gradually revert back to its "normal" big ugly ulgy state.
Everyone who's espoused a theory is right about something, I'll say that much. It's always hard to predict the directions adventure plots are going.
If the campaign spirals into disaster at least I'll get a good 'I told ya so' out of it.

Always good fun, really.
Hey, if we goof up we can go down in history as the people who killed Greyhawk, so that's something.
That's not really a consolation.
I was enjoying this campaign.
It's nearing the high level point of inevitable rocket tag and unpleasant combats anyway. A couple more levels and this will hardly be playable.
Yay broken high level play!!! Something PFRPG completely sucks at.
We're already there. If the froghemoth hadn't spread its damage out it would have one-rounded a PC a turn.
On the plus side we're lightish on the caster side so things won't be too bad on our end.
That's not really a consolation.

Correct.
Don't be such a Debbie Downer. Even if the Free City i lost we can save the rest of the world.
What's one city in the grand scheme, eh?

Hey Tanith, all . . . there aren't any wardens around. If we were tough enough to jump the ulgurstasta, do you think we're tough enough to jump Raknian, like right f++!ing now? I can drop confusion on him and Tanith and summons can "aggro" him. Then I'll just heal Tanith as needed. Once we kill him Rodrigo dimension doors us out, or one of us disguises ourselves as the old man.
I thought we determined that straight up murdering him was a bad idea.
At the very least, I will remind you that Auric and Khellek are sleeping nearby.
Do we have reason to believe they want him dead too?
Tanith would love to kick Raknian's ass but this doesn't seem like the way to do it.
Apparently Feral and I are at opposite ends of the 'when to kill an NPC' scale, because I'd have been all about eliminating him now, consequences and plot derailing be damned.
Ah, well.
In retrospect, I should at least have tried to fascinate/suggestion him.
Incidentally, Eben, I think you forgot to update your level on your "quicksheet".
Carina shivers. "Eugh... no. I don't like using poison--I'm a doctor, not an assassin."
And I'm sure Albert Einstein called himself a physicist, but we got bombs either way. ;)
"Dammit Eben, I'm a doctor not an assassin!"

IIRC, Alfred Nobel was (technically) the guy who gave the world bombs first.

Einstein never worked on the bombs, he just mentioned that, hey, y'know, this is something you could do if you really wanted to...
So, if Eben wants poison, would I be able to make some in time for the fight tomorrow?
And what sort of poison do you want?
Alchemical crafting (like all mundane crafting) generally takes weeks, not hours, so it's not likely. Swift Alchemy cuts that down to days, maybe.
Maybe a really, really cheap poison but even then you have to work a minimum of 8 hours and the cheap ones are also not very good.
Yeah, that's why I wanted to ask...
That's one of the problems I have with crafting--it generally takes too long for my taste.

"Guys, my fire bombs were meant to be medicinal. :("
To be fair, her bombs have been used as a curative.
Are you talking about worms, or about a fire-healing monster I've forgotten?
Likely Dispelling Bombs on nasty effects.
KC, for future reference, when we meet a new monster, would you like us to just roll all our monster-IDing Knowledge checks without us asking for a specific one?
It's generally easiest to ask what checks are needed, or guess if you, the player, know what to use (most undead are easy to peg, for instance). But I usually indicate the Knowledge check needed, so it shouldn't come up too often.
When in doubt, just roll 1d20 and indicate what the result is for any given roll.
I have a question about Amorphous Form: would I be able to use it to escape being swallowed whole?
I'm asking in case the ulgurstasta shows up during the match and tries to swallow one of us.
It doesn't say you do, and people eat Jell-o all the time so it's not even a logical thing IMO.
Alright, well, how about Gaseous Form then? Would that allow someone to escape being swallowed whole?
I'd give someone who's gaseous a +8 bonus, but it's not the same as being incorporeal.
Alright, fair enough.

Mental note: don't stand downwind of the ulgurstasta if it swallows Carina.
So, are we ready to move up and face the Final Stand?
I'm good to go.
Quick question: Does the Arena count as Urban terrain?
Just let me post my extracts for this fight.
Extracts:
1- Enlarge Person, Shield, Shield, Bomber's Eye, Enlarge Person
2- Invisibility, False Life, Resist Energy, Resist Energy, False Life
3- Fly, Cure Serious Wounds, Gaseous Form
Yes, it's Urban.
I'm set.
There's still a few potions left.
potion of see invisibility
potion of barkskin
potion of cats grace x2
I'll take a potion of cat's grace.
I'll take See Invis.
It turns out Auric and Khellek got lost on the way to the arena. Ten minutes go by.

Hey, Feral, Rynjin, one of you pick a number between 1 and 2.
Uh, one?
