Mindscape of the Dreaming Dark (Inactive)

Game Master Reckless

Following a mythically super-charged rest, some of you select a different set of spells to attempt to conquer the beast within. Any prep before entering?

Tayanalla casts Mythic Haste on the party, casts chill shield on herself, and activates divine bond to give her longsword the flaming burst quality.

Nils will prepare 6 glyphs of warding on stones triggered to be set off by vermin.

(using 3 lvl 3 slots and 3 lvl 4 slots)

Nothing to prepare.

Tam casts a single spell on himself, 'Fly', and takes to the air, floating a few inches off the ground, nervous for the trial ahead.

The guarding angels swing open the doors, revealing a vast, grassy plain. As you stare, blinking into the sudden sunlight, you realize you are on the other side of the door, grass under your feet. The door stands some dozen feet behind you, an open frame in the middle of the field.

Fifty feet away, atop a hill of vines and skulls, a robed figure raises a writhing, hand-like appendage as if in greeting. Beneath the robe's hood, red eyes stare out from a writhing mass of worms.

Tayanalla, Markus, and Tam up before the creature and Nils and Thokk after it.

Any magical auras show up on Arcane Sight? Does it have any weapons?

Markus advances, but carefully, not sure what to expect.

Will walk forward 30 ft and use Divine Bond to turn his scimitar into Holy. Also, if there's a knowledge he can roll: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Any magical auras show up on Arcane Sight? Does it have any weapons?

It bears no weapons.

Tayanalla activates her wings and charges the wormy guy.

charge: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 1 + 2 = 26

damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 + Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Tam?

Tam advances, flying straight at the 'thing' as fast as he can, and brings his staff to bear on the cloak, trying to rip it from the creature.

Sunder, Charge: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (3) + 25 = 28
Damage: 1d6 + 13 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 13 + 9 = 23

It seems unconcerned with Tayanalla's attack, and, indeed, completely unaffected by it. Tam's staff comes quickly enough to catch the creature off guard and blasts a chunk out of it, rendering it useless.

The creature, which Tam and Tayanalla can see is a vaguely humanoid collection of roiling, rotting worms, says "Too easy." and begins casting a spell. As it intones the mystical words, a greasy, grey-green fog rolls out around it, enveloping and enshrouding everything in a 20 foot radius.

Fort DC 22: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
edit: took out the surge, as it wasn't needed.

What happened to the cloak from the sunder, anything?

Thokk casts Flame Strike on the creature, trying to avoid his allies, and trying to burn as much of the poison cloud as possible, besides of the worm-man.
Reflex save for half damage, Spell Resistance Applies.
Caster Level Check for Spell Resistance + Mythic Surge: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 9 + (5) = 16
Damage: 9d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 4, 1, 1, 6, 4, 5) = 30
Half the damage is fire damage, but the other half results directly from divine power and is therefore not subject to being reduced by resistance to fire-based attacks.
After casting Thokk will move away from the others, trying to avoid a "group" attack from the creature.

Nils follows suit and also drops a flame strike in the same spot.

SR check+surge: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 9 + (5) = 24

damage: 9d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3) = 25

fort: 1d20 + 16 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 16 + 4 = 36

Taya flies up and away to clear the cloud and hit it with a dispel magic.

dispel caster check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Markus is waiting to see what effect do the Flame Strikes and the Dispel have on the poisonous cloud before engaging.

Forgot to mention DC 20 reflex for 1/2.

I see the word "cloak" is missing from my description above. Tam destroyed the cloak. The creature's SR protects it from Thokk's Flame Strike, but not from Nils'. Tayanalla manages to dispel the cloud, and it evaporates.

Reflex vs. Nils's Flames Strike 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 The creature is enveloped in holy energy and fire. While the fire seems to do little (but not nothing) the holy energy melts away several dozens of the worms making the creature's body.

It should be noted that since the critter is a swarm, it takes +50% from AOE damage.

(Yup)

AoO from it casting the cloud, Sunder vs its Ring: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (7) + 23 = 30
Damage: 1d6 + 22 ⇒ (3) + 22 = 25

Not bothering to attack the creature directly, given the warning they received prior to entering the room, Tam instead targets the creature's magic items, hoping to even the odds. Attacking things in this order (in case I destroy any, please apply damage to the next one down the list): Ring -> Amulet -> Necklace -> Wand -> Potion

Full Attack, Sunder 1: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (18) + 21 = 39
Damage: 1d6 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21

Full Attack, Sunder 2: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (4) + 21 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21

Full Attack, Sunder 3: 1d20 + 21 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 21 - 5 = 28
Damage: 1d6 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21

Full Attack, Sunder 4: 1d20 + 21 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 21 - 5 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19

MArkus patiently walks to the creature and starts his series of attacks, in the hopes that it will be distracted and let the blasters do their job.

Calculations with Mythic Haste and Prayer. I see Tayanalla has Mythic Heroism listed, but can't find when it was cast. Also assuming Mythic Hero's Feast is over.

Mythic Heroism on myself at start of day.

Tayanalla readies an action to cast dispel at any spell it casts.

readied dispel: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Ah, oh, sorry. Got mixed with Haste and thought it was party-wide somehow. Bear with me.
