Leather Goddesses of Castrovel (Inactive)

Game Master MayDay

Forgot the 20% miss chance against me there, assuming I beat C's init.

The professor, now that there's a clear path, will have to look into this ominous humming sphere.

Knowledge: One of these: 1d20 + 14 + 1d6 ⇒ (11) + 14 + (5) = 30

And... there's more I'd like to be doing here, but I kinda need to know what's up there first.

miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 26 Damnit I rolled before I decided weather 1-20 was a miss or 80-100, lol! Call it a miss.

"Hmm... seems if we don't all want to suddenly find ourselves somewhere even less hospitable, that really should be tended to sooner rather than later."

Dashing over (AOO for B if she has a melee weapon on top of the ray gun I suppose) and doing my best to stop that.
Use Magical Device?: 1d20 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (12) + 7 + (4) = 23

Missed round 2 so I'll take two rounds now.
Figit yelps a bit as the flames hit her. Cursing like a sailor, she casts a healing spell on herselfCLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7. That's when the second ray hits her. Somewhat fearfully, she mutters a spell and multiple copies appear around her.Not Clones from Mirror Image: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Hopefully this will be enough to save her from more fire.

Yeah, use magic device is appropriate. But you will need some help. Good luck!

reminder: Arael used her last turn to descend in one of the glass elevator tubes.

Seeing Arael escape and hearing the hum of the machine begin to climb in pitch the Vixens decide to make a break for the door (West) and escape.

Take your AoA. A is almost dead. Then...

Begin ROUND 5

"I wasn't done with you!" Celes screams as she brings down her fancy little mace.

Bonk Attempts: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Let's bonk HARDER: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Celes crushes A's pretty little skull and she crumples dead before Pharasman's fury. There is a sickening sound, like when you drop a pumpkin out the back of a wagon on a cobbled Absalom street. Yuck.

"Drat!" Figit spits out as Stardust descended into the elevator and missed the glitterdust. She pulls out her bow and notches an arrow. It feels strange after using the raygun.

"Lets go, she's only getting further away."
Elai heads towards the tubes.

Vanna senses the power coming from the machine, and determines that the larger threat than the two remaining Lashunta. She runs over and helps the Professor.

Use Magic Device: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Vanna's help brings Professor's check to 25...
Machine continues to hum ominously, getting louder now.

Elai steps into the tube...

Seeing Arael felled, Great Mastiff sets his attention upon the device currently the focus of the professor & Vanna's efforts.

Knowledge (something): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14, to 'aid other'

That brings Professor's work on the machine to 27...

The machine is pulsing now. A blue hazy static electricity begins to form in the room...

The floor in the tube disappears and you are shot under intense pneumatic pressure down into the belly of the Asteroid. Screaming would be appropriate, lol!

Elai screams physically and mentally, though the latter dies down as soon as she's more than 30ft away...

"Umm, I don't like where this is headed." She is looking around frantically as the room is becoming more hazy.

"I would strongly suggest we either all work to sabotage this device, or quickly strive to make our way out of the area."

Either continuing to try to deactivate it, or heading for the tubes, depending what everyone else is doing.

Use Magic Device: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 After glancing at the thing the Professor is fiddling with, Figit will shout so advice on how to use it.

That brings professor's roll to 29.
Professor has almost figured out how to shut the machine down...he fiddles with a few buttons and gets an image of the wormhole destination begins to display on a screen.

"Professor, get a move on!" Figit yells. This is my attempt to Inspire Confidence so +2 to that skill check

A bards inspire competence performance does indeed kick the professors check to 31...

The professor pulls just the right crystal from a lattice structure inside the orb and the hum dies down and ceases. The crackling blue energy in the room fades. You have succeeded.

The professor breathes a quick sigh of relief. "Right then. On we go?"

You descend in the tubes just as Elai did by answering the riddle. Good thing you took linguistics professor! When you reach the bottom you find yourself in a strange chamber at the belly of the asteroid.

MAP UPDATED.

Gravity here is normal on the platform, but beyond that, the astroidlets in this chamber float in zero-G. And in the center of it all is the Heart of Volent...A massive red gem the size of an ice berg.

Arael Stardust stands with he back to you looking at the Gem.

Oooo the climax! I'm on the edge of my seat...

I'm sure her Will save is probably incredible, but I have to try
Compelling VoiceFunelling extra power to increase save DC to 17.
"Arael stop! If you touch that thing you'll never leave this place alive, it's not to late to turn away from this!" Elai cries out dramatically.

will: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28 Pass.
She stares at the giant gem, seemingly wonderstruck. Have you ever seen anything so beautiful? She turns to face you slowly. You have pursued me across this system and shown yourselves worthy and powerful. I...I give up. Arael Stardust tosses her ray gun to you. It chatters on the stone ground and comes to rest near Elai's feet. Then Arael puts her hands on her head in a gesture of surrender...

Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 7
Not really worth spending inspiration on that, but what else am I going to do? Burn it on 5 attack rolls? ... OK yeah that probably would be better here.

The professor walks up, looking fairly relieved. "Well I'm certainly glad to hear that! You know I've been pondering the matter, and I believe I have a rather simple alchemical solution to this whole reproductive issue of yours. I'd be happy to run it by that... odd woman with the gorilla obsession if you happen to have a way to get back there..."

Responding to Arael's cessation of hostilities in kind, Great Mastiff swiftly fades away, leaving the child-like Halfling in his place once more. "There are other options. I do not know what life was like for you & your people before. But you cannot wish to inflict the same suffering on others as was inflicted upon you. How does that help your people? How can that help your dreams?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Arael peers out the top of her eyes at you as you speak. A sick grin crosses her otherwise stunningly beautiful face.
Professor...Reflex save!
If you attack Arael you must beat her init or she gets to go first. Which is 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
The ray gun at Elai's feet begins to pulse.

My darling professor, why I would love nothing more than to taste all of your Alchemical treats...

And my dear Grey - yes, I know all your names - dear Grey, in a few moments, all my dreams WILL come true...

Sorry Grey, diplomacy doesn't apply to insane space vixens like these. You know the type.

"Oh hells, why did we pause when an obviously insane person said they give up? It is such a cliche." Figit says exaggerated as this new development occurs.

"Well... that's a rather odd way of phrasing things, as the admixture I'm proposing would likely strike you as rather unpleasant... or maybe not, depending-"

Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Yeah, I'm going to be taking full damage from this raygun set to overload.

Init should I survive that: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Elai tries to kick the raygun off the walkway into whatever lies below.
initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
random d20 roll: 1d20 ⇒ 4 For whatever check you may ask for...

Elai's will VS illusion fails... As Elai's foot touches the gun the hologram shimmers and dissapears revealing that she has actually just kicked - and therefore touched - beautiful red gem...a shard of the Heart of Volent. It skitters across the promonade and "falls" off the edge where it leaves the gravity field and floats off into the chamber. MAP UPDATED

As the professor steps forward he fails to see a smallish disk on the ground. Upon stepping on it there is a click and it opens. 3 small mechanical spider-like things chitter out of the disc and crawl up Professors legs, jabbing him with hyperdermic needles built in to their noses. MAP UPDATED AGAIN.

to deliver poison: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
to deliver poison: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 HIT
to deliver poison: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Con damage per round: 1d3 ⇒ 3. You are poisoned as per the spell. You may take your FORT saves to end it before the 6 rounds are up. The spiders have AC17 and 1HP.

ROUND 1
Arael: You didn't think it would be that easy did you? how's THAT for a cliche? She removes her hands from her head, drawing from her back a greenish glowing Eoxian light blade! She closes on the Professor...

edit: drawing is her standard action, so no attack roll for her this round.

Player's turn! Actions available for

Narrowing his eyes at Arael's maddened treachery, Grey shakes his head. "If that's how you want it," before calling out, "Bright one, lead us!"

Standard action: using Summon Monster Spell-like ability to summon a Lantern Archon.

No! A Lantern Archon! My one weaknesss Ackkkkhhh *dying sounds*

"Oh that's it." Elai shouts, drawing her Dorje-gun and firing at Arael. Touch Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 for Electricity: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8 Ref DC15 for 1/2, push back 5ft if save successful or 10ft if not (extra 2d6 damage if she hits solid object)

Grey are you really down to 3hp? I've got healing potions if you need one?

You are firing in to melee but still hit with that roll. ref: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 Areal: 66/70HP
Oooo, don't you dare do that again you floxy sultress! She pulls a little black potion out of her bra Or I won't give your friend the antidote to my spider's venom! I backed her up about 5 feet.

Actions available for:

Scientist Lisa (lol)
Vanna
Celes
Professor Quinto
Figit
Victor

Well... I actually have a bonus to saves vs. poison, which I'm sure will totally make the difference with my super high con!

Save!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Wow, that might actually be enough! But oh right, 2 more chances.

Save!: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

But... blur! 20% miss chance?

Come on 20 or less!: 1d100 ⇒ 45

Right, so 5 con and falling this round. That's... almost definitely going to kill me in not too long, but on the upside with her right there I think the last playtest comment made it a move to activate studied combat this level.

"Ow! That is an excessively inappropriate way to treat someone trying to help you resolve your problems!"

Attacking for once?: 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (12) + 6 + (1) = 19 (8/10 Inspiration left)

Massive damage if that hit: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

This is not the most combat-y class... don't forget basically everyone has an extract of enlarge person still though.

One more save just to be sure: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Yes you got all that right. That actually makes me feel good, like I'm being clear enough in my posts! And you can consider the spiders all dead from that attack roll. They were essentially a one-shot "trap". And yeah you are light on combat ability, but if you hadn't been what you are you guys would have been burned alive in my elevator tubes from not knowing the riddle translation, or transported to 1930s New York my the floating orb machine, so don't feel bad:)

Vanna was waiting. Finally it seems the gloves are coming off. She starts an incantation and upon finishing, a ray of fire blasts at Arael.
Scorching Ray
Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Fire Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 2) = 11

"Woman, why don't you just SHUT UP?" Figit yells as she casts Mage Hand on the vial to carry it to the Professor. Never did this before so do I have to roll anything for this?

Unfortunately Mage Hand can only affect "unattended" items. And I am "attending" it since it's in my hand. Try again, Gnome! Mwah hah ha hah haaa!

Hmm... did you edit that antidote bit in after my actions for the round? A disarm attempt I'm fairly sure fails with that roll makes a lot more sense than an attack I'm fairly sure misses now that I see it.

Hm, I don't think I did an edit on that. She always had it. Arael has AC 20, Touch 13, CMD 22.
