Razmir the man known as the living god is making his move expanding into neighboring nations. It seems nobody can stop him as his power truly seems to be that of a god. A select few know the secret of his power and are taking steps to end his rule with the help of another who wields the same power as Razmir. Sazed Khaim a member of the old order of the keepers.

Houserules:
Casting: When casting a spell defensivly if you fail you do not automaticly lose the spell, rather you provoke an attack as you normally would for not casting defensive. If you are hit you must make a concentration check dc 10+damage taken if you fail this check you lose the spell.
Rolls:
Many rolls will be handled by the GM in secret.(don't worry, I don't fudge.)
Any result that can influence the character behavior will not be rolled open.
Rolls that will be handled by the GM:
Perception
Sense Motive.
if you make the check I will send you a pm or make a post and put it in a spoiler depending on the situation.
Sometimes I will roll Initiative others I will ask you to roll depending on the situation. In some situation (rarely) I will bypass init entirely and have you all go first and enemies second or have enemies go first and you all go after.
Combat rules:
I'm a fair GM, I dont roll combat in secret, I don't change results, I don't ignore bad calls from the characters.
Sometimes, character dies, but I'm not a player killer, if I think that an encounter will be easy handled, when it should be more challenging, I will make it a more challenging, if the party it's not prepared to face something, I will drop hints, if they insist... well killing one or two players never made me lack sleep...
Actions:
I'm a GM that do not punish the character for trying something new or cool, or even strange. Visual appealing actions are encouraged, the dc will of course depend on what are you trying, but you can try! If what you want to do is wicked cool, I can even bend the game mechanics to allow it! The most importat part is: Everyone have fun.
Posting Rate
If it could be done, I expect 1/day posting, if you can post more, it will really good.
During weekend, this rule does not apply. If you are able to post, great! But dont stress over this, everyone need some time to rest (In my case, I need time to play and DM :D on my tabletop games).
Level up
Aside from character creation, when you level up, if you want something not from core rulebook, you'll need to search it inside the game. basicly what you need to do is just show in game your character is searching for that knowledge. This rule is not meant to prohibit anything, I just don't like something like this: "Character always as a full caster, never picked up a sword in his entire life, and then he gain a new level and says: Master, I'll level up as a fighter now..."

Surprise Round.
Recognizing the threat just before the wizard attacks, Gossan swiftly imbues himself using Fervor with Divine Favor and punches at the flat footed caster in the face, catching him off guard. Oh no you don't! he says.
Gossan continues to pummel the wizard, this time his punches do non-lethal damage, but the acid from each punch sizzles with real damage. the last d6 is acid

@yes devyhn you recognise the spell as greater invis. You also realized that a quickened glitterdust is a 6th level spell slot.
will save vs glitterdust:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26 not blinded.
Glitterdust still reveals him even if he is not blinded.
fort save vs stunning fist:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 not stunned so he manages his step back
Gossan forgot his will vs blindness unlikely that he fails but need to know, will roll for him.
will vs glitterdust for gossan:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26
Since glitterdust reveals him you can engage in melee even if you cannot see invis. So Achren can engage in melee (map assumes he does)
He has a few buff's precast from before he came in including stoneskin (I believe gossan's attack bypass that but not sure for others).
Gossan misses twice and hit's twice. He is bruised but not overly hurt. IE:The acid damage was all taken by his temp hp but he took the non-lethal as normal.
Arkanost attempts to grab him but another spell blocks his (freedom of movement)

So, is this a surprise round? We are obviously ready for a fight so not sure there should be any surprise either way. Just unsure if you mean that the glitterdust goes off in Init 14 or if it goes off, along with the other spell, and then we begin initiative.

Just a quick FYI - Gossan did not forget his will save...And you are correct that he is bypassing the Stoneskin DR. And I think Gossan has done a total of 73 points of damage. That would hurt Gossan...
@Gossan ah sorry missed that save in the earlier post. He has 30 temp hp and 77 regular hp you did 6 acid that dropped his temp to 24 and his non-lethal doesn't exceed his hp so he remains conscious.
@Arkanost yes you can bull rush in any direction.
@Devyhn Had to do research on this one but it seems FOM blocks hold person so the spell has no effect.

Ok so his turn he takes a step back and casts a quickened stinking cloud filling the room and the normally cast a Wall of force between him and the group.

If no one can bring down the wall or transport Gossan to the other side he will begin to pummel the thing.

Aye, over time I can bring it down, but not before that dog of a wizard can cast again.

Anatoli will walk walk until he gets to the wall and then follow the wall south until he gets to the door and then use clairvoyance/clairaudience (which he had when entering) to look at the other side of the door while being sick checking it out before he opens it.

Gossan begins to punch the wall of force. The adamantine arm bypasses the wall's hardness.
As a note adamatine only bypasses hardness under 20 and wall of force has hardness 30 so in this case hardness would still apply.Acid es apply but deals half damage.
@Anatoli the room behind contains a room filled with large cages filled with all kinds of creatures. (A basilisk with it's eyes removed, a four headed hydra with a head missing (it has a stump that was burned with acid) a guirallon and a grick.
Knowledge arcane/engineering to recognises these creatures for that they are.
We can assume Arkanost dimensions door Gossan and achren before Gossan attacked the wall since ark has a higher init.
Gossan will attack the mage and knock him out (or kill him at your discretion)

You are right on the adamantine. I had it stuck in my mind that it was 30. Would have bet a lot even. Unsure how that got hard wired into my head wrong. And Gossan would not kill the wizard outright if has the chance to knock him out.
Watching his party though the clear wall deal with the cloud Gossan stands over the wizard for a moment before beginning to disarm him and remove his gear. Will cast Detect Magic and strip the guy down to his small clothes.

Gonna do more than that. Gossan will make sure the man has no material components and secures him hand and foot and gags him as well. Picking him up and tossing him across one shoulder he nods he is ready to move forward. I am almost tempted to put him through that machine... We still need to complete the pier and burn the archon.

Arkanost will walk over and sit on the man s he is being tied up.
"What should we do with him? He obviously is not a nice guy. I don't like the idea of him restarting what he was doing, but also don't really like the idea of killing him either."
He gets his face really close to the tied up spellcaster.
"...but, it may be the best choice for the greater good for us to end him.
With that, the gnome flicks the man on the nose and hops off his perch on his chest. As if nothing ever happened, he then toddles over to help with the pyre.

Unsure if Gossan was told the wizard was evil... also the culling goggles sound pretty fun. But would Torag approve of using Death Knell?

After he has finished perusing the spellbook, Lyaro cleans and sheathes his sword and watches but does not approach the mage.
"Do we have the capability to safely for us transport him out of here and do we need info out of him? I think our inquisitor friend here might need to ask him some questions." Lyaro says by way of emptying out his thoughts

if nothing else he may be able to tell us what other little things he has hiding in this place as it may be his or belong to someone he knows or works for. Trusting him to talk without invoking a spell, however, is unlikely so someone will have to be ready to strike him if he should attempt to cast. Also I would guess he wasn't carrying his adventuring gear on him and has a stash of some more goodies somewhere around here? Anatoli surmises
Achren nods and flexes the claws on the ends of all four of his suit's hands. "I'll be happy to stand behind him and encourage him to stay for the entire round of questions."

It is possible that he has spells to free him or teleport him away. We have already seen him cast quickened spells. It might be hard to prevent him from such an action especially if you plan to speak with him.

Gossan will hold/grapple the man and stands ready to strike at the wizard should he try to cast. Being grappling should cause issues as well.
"Well this is embarrassing but seeing as I'm still alive I suppose you want something from me so we can negotiate." He doesn't seem to be making any more to escape but he does seem strangely calm.

”The answers to a few questions for a start,” Devyhn replies. ”Who are you, and why have you decided to do your research down here? Let’s start with that and see where it takes us.”
"I already told you I'm Uzbin Parault!...The former star researcher of the magic academie of Korvosa? Inventor of dozens of commonly use spells used worldwide? I have dozens of books published worldwide! Surely you've heard of me?!?
