Legendary Planet - an Adventure beyond this World

Game Master Zesdead

The klaven, standing as it prepares to charge Kasia, suddenly feels the piercing agony of Mayenyi's spear... a telling blow... but, turning her attention towards Zoreck's attackers, the chlorvian's next attack is too weak... and is easily deflected.

Waiting on actions from Drancis, Rikkan, Kasia and Zoreck.

Shortsword: AOO vs. Lomrick: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 20
Piercing damage: 1d6 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 11

Fort save (DC 17): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

"Damnit! Come back here and fight like a... BUG!!"

Dropping his sword, Zoreck loads an alchemical cartridge into his pistol, raises it, and fires.

Raging, powerful stance, point-blank range, prayer

Ranged touch: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8

"Zoreck! NOOO! We need him alive!" Drancis yells as he rushes into the room, quickly dodging the prone klaven at the entrance. Gathering his power he pulls extra force into his blow as he sends a wave of force at Lomrick. Seeing Zoreck barely standing he then calls upon his reservoirs to send another blast of aether into another of the klaven.

Move into the room. Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Use Telekinetic Maneuvers to Bull Rush Lomrick off the wall. Use Hero point to add +8 to the roll.
Combat Maneuver (Bull Rush), Prayer, Hero point: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 + 8 = 21
Use Surge to activate Deadly Throw against Klaven Shocktrooper directly in front of Zoreck.
Kinetic Blast, Prayer: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 1 = 16; damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Rikkan didn't trust his throwing into the scrum happening up front of him. With his Invisibilty, he hoped to catch the normal klaven unawares however, and he threw an alchemist's fire right at the nearby enemy.

RTA w/Prayer 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 1 = 12
Fire Damage with Prayer and Cognatogen 1d6 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 10

Kasia delays

Zoreck cuts and blasts two significant wounds into Lomrick as the jagladine scuttles, for want of a better word, up the walls of the chamber... and then Drancis, his eyes narrowing as he realises just how close to a cure for Andretta he may be, uses his powers to knock the insect from the wall... his follow up attempts (not sure, were you using a Mythic Surge for an additional standard - I don't think you can use them for that... Hero Points work though) to push the klaven clear are not strong enough though...

Unfortunately Rikkan, now invisible, has less luck than the others... and slips as he throws his bomb...

Bomb miss: 1d8 ⇒ 2, falls short and to the side... catching Rikkan, Kasia and the klaven in its Splash Damage radius

Rikkan, Kasia and Klaven take 8 damage, DC15 Reflex Save for half damage

...unable to move out of the way, the klaven bears the brunt of the blast - and collapses.

Leaving Zoreck alone, the klaven move to block Mayenyi and the rest from getting any closer to Lomrick...

Klaven Shocktrooper 1, Claw vs Mayenyi: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19, missing
Klaven Shocktrooper 1, Claw vs Mayenyi: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9, missing

Klaven Shocktrooper 2, Move then Claw vs Mayenyi: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12, missing

...and, scuttling up the wall once more, Lomrick drops another flask of freezing liquid at Zoreck...

Lomrick provokes an AoO moving out of a square threatened by Zoreck - although Zoreck has dropped his sword.

Lomrick, Frost Bomb vs Zoreck (Ranged Touch): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15, hitting for 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 2) + 5 = 10 cold damage

Zoreck is at -5 HP and Unconscious - Stabilises automatically with Hard to Kill

Everyone may take their turn now

Ack, didn't realise we were waiting on me.

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Kasia's many legs carry her out of the way of the bomb, minimizing the damage done by the explosion. HP: 27/31 Moving slightly closer to Lomrick, she sees Zoreck drop and frowns, raising her gun and firing at the insect.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Barkskin saving my... bark, I guess, but it's not going to last long...

Mayenyi retreats a step to get back into her spear's useful range, then attacks the wounded klaven once more. Longspear with prayer: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 1 = 26, damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

"NO! Lomrick, you are not getting away that easily!" Drancis yells as he gathers another aether bubble to fling at their foe.

Move: Gather Power (1 Burn)
Standard: Use Pushing Infusion. The momentum of your kinetic blast knocks foes back. Attempt a bull rush combat maneuver check against each target damaged by your infused blast, using your Constitution modifier instead of your Strength modifier to determine your bonus.
Kinetic Blast, Burn, Prayer: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 = 9
Bull Rush: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 = 21

EDIT: GM Zed: Drancis used a Mythic Surge to activate his Deadly Throw ability. I also forgot to post the second roll for that, so here it is: Kinetic Blast, Prayer, Mythic: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 16
Deadly Throw (Ex): As a swift action, you can expend one use of mythic power to draw a thrown weapon or alchemical item and make a ranged attack with it, or use a telekinetic blast. This attack doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity. When making a deadly throw, roll twice for the attack, take the higher result, and add your tier to the roll.

Lomrick provokes an AoO moving out of a square threatened by Zoreck - although Zoreck has dropped his sword.

Zoreck has Catch Off-Guard and still has his pistol in hand. He he can try a pistol-whip as an AOO. If Lomrick is unarmed, the attack is against his FF AC... I'm going to roll for it. If this doesn't apply, please ignore.

AOO (pistol butt): 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 30 EDIT: Crit threat!
blugeoning damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 9

Confirm?: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 23
Crit damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 12

Lomrick drops another alchemical bomb. Zoreck tries to bat it away with his pistol, but only succeeds in breaking it open. The chemicals freeze his flesh, and the Kellid blacks out, collapsing to the floor.

The last thing Zoreck sees before the darkness swallows him up is the jagladine, nursing a severe wound to its carapace, tossing a bomb downwards at him... he hears, or thinks he hears, the sound of Kasia's weapon firing off...

Mayenyi, backing up to give herself room with her spear, stabs at the klaven again... her weapon increasingly stained with the black blood of her enemies... and Drancis, hoping to knock Lomrick from the wall again, lets loose with his aether - but this time, letting his emotions cloud his clarity, he misses.

Waiting on actions from Rikkan

Rikkan, now visible, moved to directly behind May and lobs his last alchemist's fire, this time at their main enemy. He hoped to miss Zoreck, but he knew that his friend wouldn't last long there with the evil monster.

RTA w/Prayer 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 1 = 25
Fire Damage with Prayer and Cognatogen 1d6 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 8

Edit: reflex save from last round's miss 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Rikkan's bomb crashes against the jagladine, enveloping it briefly in flame, and sending it scuttling backwards away from the fight...

...grabbing a clay flask from its belt, Lomrick opens its mandibles and swallows the black liquid pouring from the unstoppered container - the eyes of their nemesis flicker impassively at Drancis and Rikkan before they, and the rest of the jagladine, disappear from view.

Lomrick, Invisibility then move

...yet, even though it seems the jagladine is ready to flee, the klaven fight on - one of them continuing to claw at Mayenyi with the other, with far more ferocity, slashing Drancis...

Klaven Shocktrooper 1, Claw vs Mayenyi: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14, missing
Klaven Shocktrooper 1, Claw vs Mayenyi: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18, missing

Klaven Shocktrooper 2, Claw vs Drancis: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26, Critical Threat
Confirming Critical: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12, Critical NOT Confirmed, 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Klaven Shocktrooper 2, Claw vs Drancis: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22, hitting for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

It is a Perception DC49 check to locate Lomrick by non-magical / technological means

Everyone may take their turn now.

Drancis grunts in pain as the klaven's claws dig into his skin, but he doesn't lose focus of their true quarry here. Knowing Zoreck is in mortal danger still he concentrates on ending the klaven's threat.

5' step back
Move: Gather Power (1 Burn)
Standard: Use Pushing Infusion against Klaven Shocktrooper 2.
Kinetic Blast, Burn, Prayer: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14
Bull Rush: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 1 = 23

Mayenyi falls back again, still stabbing in hopes of being able to reach Zoreck and heal him.

Another longspear attack on the same klaven: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 1 = 18, damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

Zoreck's body lies sprawled on the ground. Thankfully, he does appear to still be breathing.

With no alchemical weapons left, Rikkan pulls his dagger and moves ahead to just beside Drancis. The next round, he was going to try to help hold off the klaven, so the others might have luck attacking.

Would someone please move me just left of Drnacis? Thanks.

Mayenyi, stabbing at the klaven, pierces its bony armour... mere moments before Drancis sends it bowling backwards...

Waiting on an action from Kasia

Shoot: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Crit?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Crit Damage?: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4, 2) + 6 = 16

Kasia grunts disappointment as Lomrick vanishes. "Fine. Run. You aren't going to get far." She promises. Raising her gun, she fires into the Klaven entangled with Mayenyi, blasting a hole in the creature.

One of the remaining klaven collapses after Kasia's weapon barks, black blood pooling where it falls, leaving a solitary fighter... if these were autonomous creatures, capable of self-determination, then surely the klaven would surrender - yet, it would seem that the klaven are 'created' to serve... and so, hopelessly outnumbered, it fights on...

Klaven Shocktrooper 1, Claw vs Mayenyi: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8, missing
Klaven Shocktrooper 1, Claw vs Mayenyi: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21, hitting for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Everyone may act now

Drancis conjures up another aetheric bubble and hurls it into the last klaven.

Move: Gather Power (1 Burn)
Attack: Kinetic Blast against the Klaven.
Kinetic Blast, Burn, Prayer: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 16
Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14 treated as magic for the purpose of bypassing DR.

Realizing she's running out of room to keep retreating, Mayenyi tosses the longspear aside - it evaporates into a few scattered pieces of bark - and pulls her shortspear and shield once more before stabbing back at the klaven with the smaller-reach weapon.

Drop the longspear as a free action, then ready the shortspear and quickdraw shield as a move and swift. Then shortspear attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20, damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Rikkan takes a swipe at the remaining enemy with his dagger.

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Damage 1d3 ⇒ 3

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Kasia fires another shot, this time aimed at the remaining Klaven, while she still searches for where Lomrick has gone to.

Zoreck continues to lie motionless on the floor.

Apologies, I had a trip back from France without wi-fi followed by a day with the kids (half term here)... and then the weekend followed by really awful Paizo website performance... let's move on!!!

Between them Mayenyi and Kasia push the stubborn klaven towards its doom... yet neither Rikkan nor Drancis are able to give it that final push...

...and, with Lomrick still hidden, the creature continues to resist...

Klaven Shocktrooper 1, Claw vs Mayenyi: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21, hitting for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Klaven Shocktrooper 1, Claw vs Mayenyi: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24, hitting for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Everyone may act now

We are running out of time here...I HAVE to finish off this klaven!... Drancis thinks to himself as he hurriedly summons another bubble of force.

Move: Gather Power (1 Burn)
Attack: Kinetic Blast against the Klaven.
Kinetic Blast, Burn, Prayer: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 26
Bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14 treated as magic for the purpose of bypassing DR.

Drancis' focus is, as he becomes increasingly concerned, devastatingly accurate... a flurry of kinetic waves smashing against the klaven and sending it, twitching horrifically, to the floor...

Everyone else may act now... combat isn't over (Lomrick is still here... somewhere)

Rikkan readies an action to attack he invisible creature once it reveals itself.

Zoreck continues to lie on the floor, unconscious.

If someone would throw some healing my way, I could rejoin the fight...

If someone would throw some healing my way, I could rejoin the fight...

On it.

Mayenyi shifts her spear over to the hand strapped to her shield as she rushes to kneel by Zoreck's side. She lays a hand on his forehead and murmurs a healing prayer. Casting cure moderate wounds for 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (8, 4) + 4 = 16 hit points back.

Mayenyi, rushing to Zoreck's side, brings the downed warrior back to consciousness... just in time to see Lomrick, phasing back into view, dropping from the ceiling and slashing at Drancis with a jagged claw...

Lomrick, Touch Injection vs Drancis (touch): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22, hitting

Drancis must make a DC24 Foritude Save or be exposed to poison

Everyone may act now

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Drancis glares at the jageline that just appeared in front of him. "You just made a BIG mistake!" He then gathers a large bubble of force and sends it impacting into him, wrapping tendrils around its body tightly.

Move: Gather Power (1 Burn)
Attack: Use Telekinetic Maneuvers to Grapple Lomrick. Use Surge to increase total.
CMB, Prayer, Burn, Surge: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 1 + 1 + (5) = 28

The insectile jagladine, preparing to slash at Drancis again, stops as unseen bindings tether it and hold it, floating some six inches from the floor, a safe distance away from the kineticist... a chittering voice speaks, "Let me loose... you have no idea what you are fighting against... if not me then one like me shall finish what I started... you will rue the day you ever awoke from the tubes at Garsilt!!!"

Rikkan moves ahead and takes a swipe at the insect with his dagger.

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Damage 1d3 ⇒ 1

A monent after Mayenyi's spell takes effect, Zoreck's eyes snap open and he takes a deep breath. "What...? Oh... thanks, May."

Zoreck comes to just in time to see Drancis use his power over aether to bind the jagledline.

Sitting up, Zoreck quickly drops an alchemical cartridge into his pistol, then stands points it at their bound enemy.

"Yeah, whatever. You're our prisoner now, motherf***er. We got some questions, and you're going to answer them. If we like your answers, we'll think about letting you live."

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

"First: F*** you. Second: There was a woman imprisoned with us on Garslit who's named Andretta. What world did you abduct her from? Third: This world's air is poison to people from her world: What medicine does she need to live here?"

Still pointing his gun at Lomrick, Zoreck takes a coil of rope from his pack and hands it to Rikkan. "Here—tie up this insect so that Drancis can release him."

Lomrick, held tight within Drancis' bonds, spits in defiance at the friends actions, "There were many specimens at Garsilt... some were female, some were male and some were of other genders. Andretta? The names of my experimental subjects were of no interest... even if I were inclined help you, I could not".

"I don't think rope will hold Lomrick for long Zoreck. His claws are pretty sharp. I can hold him here for the time being." Drancis responds softly. "Perhaps we can find some clues here as to what world Andretta is from...in addition to the key that will free Mayenyi's friend."

Mayenyi grips her spear tightly. "If he can't help us... sounds to me like we don't need him alive then."

Delaying long enough to let someone stop me before I go on trying to inflict more lethal damage, but if we get back to just before Lomrick's turn and no one's tried to talk her down...

Shortspear attack with prayer: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13, damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8

"So, where are your records, then? Maybe those will tell us what we need."

Seeing Mayenyi's spear, and still tightly held by Drancis, Lomrick seems to reconsider, "The records of specimens taken, their physiology, their origin world and their genetic makeup were all held at Garsilt... they are gone, lost behind the remnants of the gate that you destroyed - describe this 'Andretta'... What species is she? What genus?"

...and then, as Drancis refers to 'Mayenyi's Friend', the jagladine stops, "You are here to rescue Relstanna? You have friends in lofty places indeed... I thought not to recognise all of you. A deal then? Let us negotiate... I will study your 'Andretta' and tell you how she may be saved - in return, you will guarantee me safe passage from this world".

Rikkan growls as he listens to the insect's story. He wasn't sure letting this awful thing go would be in anyone's interest. "I dont trust him as far as I can throw him!"

Drancis' heart constricts as he finds out the records were lost...supposdly. I...I have to be careful here. Lomrick is not to be trusted...

Not loosening his grip upon the jagladine for a second he shakes his head, "How stupid do you think we are? You have done nothing to earn our trust. Free Relstanna now...then we negotiate."

Lomrick bristles, "I have offered to restore your 'Andretta'... is that not enough? Very well... the key to Relstanna's cage is within my workshop beyond this room... free me and I shall unlock her for you".

Drancis - you will need to roll another Telekinetic Maneuvers check to maintain the grapple on Lomrick whilst the rest of the folks use rope to bind him.

Telekinetic Maneuvers, Prayer, Burn, Surge: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 1 + 1 + (6) = 21

Drancis cannot make the Sense Motive roll.

As Rikkan ties the jagladine, Drancis endeavours to hold it secure... and, until the final knot is made, the kineticist restricts the very movement of their nemesis. Frustrated now, Lomrick spits, "This is your final chance... guarantee me safe passage and I will save your 'Andretta'... if we have no deal then put me to the sword - I am ready".

I can't make that Sense Motive no matter what. Someone else want to give it a go?

I cant make that check either.

Well, I have a 5% chance...

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

EDIT: Woo hoo!

Still threatening with his pistol, Zoreck says, "You're lying. We need guarantees before we let you go."

"Very well... there can be no guarantees that I can do anything for your Andretta - the equipment that I have here on Argosa is woefully primitive in comparison with the laboratory I built at Garsilt. If I had been able to re-establish the gate then maybe I could offer more... but Relstanna has so far refused to assist me. There was an automaton at Garsilt... that is all I would have needed".

The jagladine speaks in almost conciliatory terms, "I will try my best for your Andretta".

Heal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Barbarian with a 14 Wisdom FTW!!

Zoreck notices the jagladine's wounds... "Hey, this a**hole is regenerating!"

He presses the barrel of his pistol to the side of what passes for its head. "And you're still lying."

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

NATURAL 20!! Any circumstance bonus to that roll for threatening a coup de grace with a x4 crit weapon?
