Mort's Strange Aeons (Inactive)

Game Master Just a Mort

Vincent drinks his alchemical allocation extract, then drinks his potion of heroism and spits it back out. He also drinks his extract of heightened awareness.

The party sits in a circle as Vincent begins to chant the incantation with Howard, Leonard and Seamus supporting him.
"We, The Seekers, are bound by a common purpose - the thirst for knowledge."

Vincent knowledge arcana: 1d20 + 19 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 19 + (2) = 24

He then passes the miniature ivory and horn staircase to Howard, who feels eager of its 70 steps. The continuous flame lights seem to dim.

"We have gathered this very night in order to open the gate to the Dreamlands."

Vincent knowledge arcana: 1d20 + 19 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 19 + (5) = 26

Howard passes the miniature ivory and horn staircase to Leonard,who feels eager of its 70 steps. The miniature ivory and horn staircase is now heavier.

"For beyond lies the knowledge we seek."

Vincent knowledge planes: 1d20 + 19 + 1d6 ⇒ (14) + 19 + (4) = 37

Leonard passes the ivory and horn staircase to Seamus, who feels eager of its 70 steps. Seamus realizes the staircase has now grown bigger.

"Let the portal open between this world and the Amberwind"

Vincent knowledge planes: 1d20 + 19 + 1d6 ⇒ (13) + 19 + (1) = 33

Seamus passes the now glowing with faint yellow light staircase back to Vincent,who feels each of its 70 steps.

Vincent takes a deep breath, then drops the stairscase in the center of the ring made by the party.

Vincent knowledge planes: 1d20 + 19 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 19 + (2) = 26

Then yellow smoke emits from the staircase as the world fades away...

The party finds themselves lying in their cabin on board the Sellen Starling, except that it is now morning and they have no gear on them. They feel slightly tired, as if they didn’t sleep very well last night. They look outside the window to see that the Sellen Starling is sailing on the river.

dmg Leonard: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5
dmg Seamus: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9
dmg Vorq: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9
dmg Howard: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5
dmg Claude: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7
dmg Vincent: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6

Vincent knowledge geography: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

Vincent realizes the Sellen passage does not seem to be following the expected course, as though the Sellen Starling has gotten lost.

Vincent also spots that the waters of the rivers seem unusually clear and teem with iridescent fish. He realizes that the fish are harmless but not native to the Inner Sea region. Vincent also spots a heard of flabby, waddling quadrupeds that look like elephants with short trunks and small ears, which he also identifies are not native to the inner sea region.

Vincent knowledge planes: 1d20 + 19 + 1d6 ⇒ (9) + 19 + (3) = 31

Vincent realizes that even though it looks like they are still in Golarion, on the Sellen Starling, the party is currently in the Dreamlands, on the Dreamlands version of the Sellen Starling.

What do you do now?

Howard does not even have the rod to identify for that matter...nor can he find his spellcomponent pouch on him.

I told you you guys woke up without gear

'Crap I don't have any gear.' feeling around his pockets and pouches, Seamus then looks at the others. "Hey we don't have any gear." He then begins looking around the strange version of the ship to see what gear there is that he can use.

do you want perception rolls looking for hear?

Seamus walks out onto the deck and finds a seachest at the aft containing all their gear. Vincent notices Captain Skywind is gazing at the horizon distractedly and tilting her head, as if listening to a sound no one can hear.

Take 10s are fine.

Once the rod and his spellcomponent pouch is passed to Howard, Howard identifies the rod as a Rod of Lordly Might. The party quickly requips their gear and also spot an amber sailed ship pursuing them, which they can make the name Amberwind on the ship’s prow.

Seamus taps everyone with his wand to heal them.

Howard nods towards the pursuing ship.

"Right then. It looks like we need to get over there..."

Fly and/or Monstrous Physique to get across?

Skywind snapsback her head and howls, her lips elongating and darkening as her mouth bristles with fangs. In a heartbeat, the Dreamlands reflection of the little captain becomes a hulking beast of shadow, claws and teeth.

Seamus init: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Howard Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Leonard Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

With no one at the helm, it is likely that the Amberwind will catch up with the party in 6 rounds.

Vincent I botted you using an inspiration point

Leonard knowledge planes: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Vincent recognizes the creatue as a feargaunt, and it is incorporeal. It has a nightmare aura of 20 feet. Everyone in the aura must make a will save or be shaken.

Slide 19, everyone except Leonard is up

Concentration: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27.

Howard concentrates, and defensively casts a spell, causing Claude's form to swell, displacing Howard and Seamus.

Claude hisses, and attempts to rip into the Feargaunt.

Bite: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 27, for 6d10 + 3 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 5, 1, 3) + 3 + 2 + (6, 3) = 34 damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 11 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 30, for 4d8 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (2, 8, 2, 7) + 3 + 2 + 2 + (3, 4) = 33 damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 11 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 33, for 4d8 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 1, 1) + 3 + 2 + 2 + (2, 2) = 19 damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 11 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 29, for 1d4 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 + 2 + (4, 1) = 13 damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 19, for 1d4 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 + 2 + (3, 5) = 19 damage.
Tail Slap: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 21, for 4d10 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (3, 9, 10, 4) + 1 + 1 + 2 + (2, 2) = 34 damage.

Note: Thanks to my Bane(Outsider(Extraplanar)) Amulet, Claude's attacks count as +2, so he can affect incorporeals.

Also, Claude will delay to see if Seamus starts performing, for a +2 to hit and damage ;-)

Will(Claude): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24.
Will(Howard): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15.

Since, from memory, their aura applies when you *end* your turn inside it?

Yep

Claude's bite, claws and tail slap severely wound the creature. 74 dmg done. The usual ghost touch clause still applies etc.

"Crap not the captain too!" Having just strapped on his weapons, Seamus begins to sing, he then draws his bow from it's case. "Let me run with you tonight..."

Move action: begins singing Inspire +2, Move action: draws bow

80 dmg done to the creature, then.

Vincent charges his spear and stabs the creature twice.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 2 + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 + (4, 4) = 22

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 2 + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 + (1, 5) = 23

Will assume it's still flat-footed since I inspired init and go first. Also am I right in assuming when we arrived there was not time to drink my mutagen and activate barkskin? Or to do so before entering dreamlands. Fatigue penalty is factored in for att and dmg.

Howard, supposedly ship is coming in 6rds so we won't have to get across? Also I have both those spells but not infusions so I can make myself fly but not anyone else, unless you do. Earlier:

Upon waking Vincent immediately tells Howard, though not hiding it from the others, about the nightmare. Based on their knowledge of the animate dream, he thinks it might be the nightmare spell or another of the creature's doing. He shrugs at the fatigue but is still concerned, It has a nasty attack, and it may still be around. If we are attacked while outside our bodies it could be the end of us.

You can drink mutagen and barkskin, before you enter the stairwell, that is allowed.

Seamus will save for Nightmare aura: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Vincent will save for Nightmare aura: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

Nightmare aura duration: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Seamus is shaken, but Vincent is not, and finishes the creature off with two stabs of his longspear.

The party has 4 rounds before the Amberwind approaches - state what you wish to do. The fifth round you're in range for their range attacks so we can conduct them as normal.

Seamus init: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Howard Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Leonard Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Vincent Init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
bad guys init: 1d20 ⇒ 10

We'll say the ship is now 150 ft away from you and getting closer, but there's a strange fog that's following the ship - so you can't really see, besides the shape of the ship, who or what is pursuing you.

Please state your buffs, and on the start of the fifth round, Leonard + Vincent up first - they will see 8 humans in half plate and wielding longspears,30 ft away.

Quick post now between classes to give actions, will fill in more later

Also, will have cast defending bone before entering dreamlands

Leonard wakes up in the dreamlands quiet and still, no familiar weight of another concious body in the back of his mind. He follows the group around groggily, everthing snapping back into focus when he straps Angiliath back on.

Now

"Right, opposing forces getting closer." In a now familiar move, the tatoos on Leonard's left arm begin to dance, and several images extend out in all directions.

Images: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

He then touches his chest and closes his eyes, a light appearing from beneath his shirt when he takes his hand away. It seems to move faintly, winking in and out of existence.

Activating flight hex

Ascending ten feet into the air, Leonard draws his wand, activates shield, then puts his wand back in the sheath.

Shield, stow.

Ascending another five feet into the air, Leonard begins to chant an ever faster rythm, a wave of power radiating out and towards his compainons.

Haste

I'd probably also prepare scorching ray for setting fire to their sails, probably instead of frigid touch. Who needs frigid touch anyway, right?

Elephants?

Earlier, with Vincent:

Howard nods thoughtfully.

"In that case, maybe you should join my nightly vigil, at least for a few days, until it loses interest..."

Now:
Howard smirks, and starts casting Invisibility (from the wand) on the party.

Howard, Vincent, Leonard, and Claude, respectively, in the four rounds that we have.

Misread four rounds as five rounds, so I suppose that means no stowing the wand.

Leonard looks over the 8 heavily armored humans, deciding it's best to fly over them and remain invisible. "Vincent, you coming?"

Leonard will fly forward about sixty feet, until over top of the enemy ship, assuming that Vincent gives a verbal response of some sort.

Vincent grunts and sets to work, pulling out his rapier as he does.

He takes the following extracts: Monstrous Physique, Shield, Long Arm, and Alchemical allocation (Vorq feeds him the potion of bull strength which he spits back out).

Good idea. he says to Howard as he uses the wand.

The following were used prior to entering: ablative barrier (8hrs), mutagen, and barkskin (80min). Heroism also, but it has 30m or so left due to ritual.

Vincent flexes in his new form, with the mutagen and potion flowing through him. He nods to Leonard and moves with him, charging the rapier prior to closing. 30ft fly speed for me, but 60ft with haste.

The fog clears and Leonard and Vincent see 8 humans in half plate wielding longspears on board the opposing ship.

Leonard and Vincent up, slide 21

And Howard yes? He got one higher on init. Is the ship close enough for nonflyers to board or is the ship still 30ft away?

Yeah sorry, Howard too, didn't see that one properly. It's still 30ft away. But that doesnt mean you flying lot can't be trolls.

first impulse, wait till they board then drive off with their ship lol

You could try =)

Vincent notes that there's no one steering the ship! It seems to be steering itself!

Delaying Leonard, Vincent and Howard

The humans pull out javelins and throw it at the many images of Seamus, being the only one they can see, then regrip their longspears two handed.

How many mirror images Seamus does has?: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

javelin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
javelin confirm?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
hit Seamus? 1 hits: 1d7 ⇒ 1
dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

One javelin grazes Seamus on his arm. 6 dmg to Seamus

javelin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Another javelin flies wide.

javelin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

The third javelin shatters one of his images.

javelin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Another javelin falls short.

javelin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

The fifth javelin shatters another image.

javelin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
hit seamus?1 hits: 1d5 ⇒ 4

The last javelin shatters yet another image.

Seamus is down to 3 doppelgangers left

Party up, Ship is still 30 ft away, will be next to your ship on the humans next turn.

Sorry, I didn't read the fine print, I thought Howard cast invisibility in the whole party, I was quite surprised when Seamus was getting hit with Javelins until I read the fine print.

earlier
In preparation Seamus, humming a few bars, casts Mirror Image and Gravity bow, watching the others take to the air and disappear, he shakes his head, "I should probably learn those spells." He then

Now
"Hey That's me you hit!" Calling out in frustration as the javelin creases his arm, Seamus begins a song to inspire his friends "The dream police they live in side of my head, The dream ..." and then Draws his bow and fires at the attackers. red

Move action: Sing, Inspire +2, gravity bow, Attack:+1 Longbow (+2str), PS, AS, DA,
attack: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 2 = 16 for damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 1) + 9 = 13

Rapid shot

Benefit: When making a full-attack action with a ranged weapon, you can fire one additional time this round at your highest bonus. All of your attack rolls take a –2 penalty when using Rapid Shot.

By using Bardic performance as a move action, you lose your ability to full attack and thus cannot use rapid shot.

*Throws a CRB at Seamus for blatant violation of rules*

Seamus shoots an arrow at one of the half plate clad humans, but the arrow bounces off the half plate.

Leonard lands quietly on the upper deck of the ship behind one of the armored fellows, sending flames down the length of Angiliath and thrusting at a gap in the man's armor.

Swift action enhance sword with flaming and keen, free action activate black blade strike. Brand, autosucceed concentration.

Attack+bardic+haste-spell combat: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + (2) + 2 = 14

Attack+bardic+haste-spell combat: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + (3) + 2 = 13

Iterative+bardic+haste-spell combat: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + (2) + 2 = 14

Invisibility not factored. If Vincent decides to flank with me, that's not factored either. Attacking yellow puts us in a good position to not get outflanked if the others come at us, and also lets us fight from high ground.

Leonard slices into the half plated human twice (yellow) injuring him. His third strike is turned away the crewman unusually thick skin, which on closer examination, resembles a tree bark.

Invisibility bonus counted, but no flank.

27 dmg done to yellow

Note: I am waiting for the ship to close, so that Claude can get across.

And I'm waiting for Vincent to post before he starts complaining I skipped his turn again...

Slide 21 is black for me. I will assume Leonard picked the best spot but land where I can flank and hit other guys too, otherwise land where I can hit the next closest to Leonard so I don't waste my attacks. I have long arm on for 10ft reach so should be able to threaten several.. Rapier was precharged with keen and flaming. Add flank if necessary. Invisible bonus not added yet.

Vincent studies the next man as he attacks.

Rapier: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 17 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 4 - 2 = 35

AC 30, 10ft reach, 30 str so another +5 to CMB cmd etc. Redirect if one enemy falls to next.

Typo, Slide 20. Now why didn't anyone tell me earlier...sigh. Invisible will only apply to first attack , then you turn visible.

No flank, but that's just trying to maximize the number of attacks you get. We'll say you land on the ship so you don't have to make hover checks. Your claws are at 10 ft, your sting and bite at 5 ft since long arm said limbs, not your head or stinger.

Vincent bites and stings the man next to him, killing him, then turns to the others (red) and (purple)

He stabs red through his stomach, then his heart, instantly killing him.

He then stabs purple though his shoulder then rips him apart with his claws.

Tabulating AC...18 base + 2 mutagen + 2 monstrous physique + 3 barkskin +1 haste = 26 AC. How are you getting 30 ac? Ablative barrier AC does not stack with existing armor.

claude AOO tail slap: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 24
dmg: 4d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 10) + 3 + 2 = 27

Claude tailslaps one of the humans as he approaches Vincent. 27 dmg to blue

3 of the humans stab at Vincent with their longspears, while the other stabs at Claude.

longspear Vincent: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
longspear Vincent: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
longspear Vincent: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

longspear Claude: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

None of their attacks connect.

Party up

Shield, one of my prep spells. +4 shield bonus. Ablative just makes 5 dmg per round nonlethal for healing really no other benefit for me. I pretend it's a spell that adds +5 to healing per hit lol

Vincent studies the closest and then tries to clear the way for Leonard to finish off the green attacker. 5ft step in between them to complete bite and sting

Rapier: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 17 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 4 - 2 = 34

Vincent finishes off one of his attackers, and badly wounds the other.

Reason being the third rapier iterative missed, due to not having the +4 bonus from investigator study on it, and all the following attacks after that took -4 less dmg.

np. In future let's do weaker attacks with studied first so if it runs out damage is more flat line, since rapier gets full str and PA. Basically reverse order. I'll post that way next time.

Leonard sends a long crackle of electricity down his sword, stepping towards the armored humans and reaching out to stab them.

Casting Shocking grasp, autosuceed concentration, 5' step onto stairs and swift action give myself extra reach. Attack the injured guard first, then direct other attacks at the other one if he dies.

As soon as one attack hits, the rest loose the +3 for being against metal armor from shocking grasp.

Claude, still unable to fly, lashes his tail angrily...

Tail Slap: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 22, for 4d10 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5, 5, 10, 4) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 28 damage.

...wrapping around the unfortunate man in green, and dragging him across to Claude's ship, in order to be finished off.

Only one attack made, since the ships still seem to be separated...?

I'll help you roll the rest, I can't change the map in mid combat. Just imagine the ships are next to each other and ignore the water in between

Claude bites the man into two, as Leonard steps forth and kills the other two humans with his electrically charged sword.

As soon as the fodder is dead, Vincent signals for the others to join him in storming the rest of the ship before their buffs wear off.

Suddenly a hatch on the deck opens as a lashing rope from the sails tries to trip Vincent, but Vincent is not tripped. A humanoid figure in yellow robes and a tricone hat steps out of the hatch. 5 ft step

CMB: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

Then a ghostly creature is little more than a dark shape with two flickering pinpoints of light where its eyes should be rises out from the floor.

They both attack.

scimitar: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
incorp touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Vincent parries the blow of the ghostly creature, then ripostes.

Seamus, I know you had a turn but I delayed you because on board there was nothing to shoot until the other two came up

Vincent and Vorq recognize the humanoid figure as a denizen of Leng. They have 30 lightning resistance and spell resistance.

Vincent and Howard recognize the ghostly figure as a wriath

Party up

"Watch the Wraith," Leonard warns, reaching out with a suddenly whiplike sword and attempting to trip the fellow in yellow robes. And here I always thought yellow was the colour of cowards.

Casting blade lash, autosucceed concentration. 5' step and attack.

The yellow robed figure dodges the blade lash then ducks and weaves around Leonard's scimitar strikes. Yes, blade lash +all attacks missed.

Vincent studies the denizen and attacks.don't have time to tweak it so use bottom to top so if it dies studied combat runs out for rapier versus wraith since it's magical. If it doesn't die 5ft step north of denizen

Vincent's sting and 2 claws miss the creature and due to the creatures unusual anatomy, Vincent does not manage to hit any of the vital spots.

Nontheless in a flurry of rapier stabs, he manages to drop the captain.

You basically did 121 without crits on, and you did need to use every attack to take down that guy.

'Wow, Vincent turned into quite the killing machine.' His expression shifting from wincing to smiling and back to wincing again as his friends decimate the armored foes. Seamus continues singing his happy little song.

'Well, since that's a hat, I'm going to assume that's the captain.' Continuing his song as he sees the captain and what looks like a ghost of some sort come on deck, he watches as his friends have difficulty but eventually kills the captain.

'Just the undead thingy, I wonder what it would think of 'daylight'? Smiling Seamus casts Daylight onto his buckler and shines it at the ghost thingy. edit: His smile turning to a frown as the bright light appears to have no effect.

inspire +2, standard action: Casts daylight

Seamus. Daylight does nothing.

Sunlight powerlessness

If the creature is in sunlight (but not in an area of daylight or similar spells), it cannot attack and is staggered.
