Of Kirin & Kraken: A PFS PbP (Inactive)

Game Master James Martin

One of the giants is still up and fighting. Once you take him down, then you can post three rounds worth of actions!

Ralph fireballs the giants!

Nienna, 42, Alden, Lavode and Exiel are up!

Alden and Naala step forward to be close to as many of their allies as possible, and Alden shouts at the giant. "You big ugly thing, your friends are all useless! You may as well surrender!"

42 Charges up his sword with Arcane powers. He dances around the dazed giants and attack the giant who is not dazed. provoking an AoO and attacking with a spell he's charged up, Vampiric Touch

Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 5 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 5 + 6 + 2 = 33 BAB+Dex+Sword Bonus+Flanking

I think Haste wore off, yes?

Lavode finishes his spell Duchovnú pomoc! and another Bralani appears behind the group of giants. In celestial he tells it, Move around to the side so you can zap a bunch without hitting any of us.
The Bralani moves over to the side and sends a lightning bolt across the group.
lightning bolt: 6d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 6, 2, 5, 3) = 23
reflex DC=15 for half, will hit 2 of the giants but none of us.
.
I was going to drop them all in a pit, but I don't think it is necessary.

Exiel the gargoyle will start mauling the medium-sized enemy before him with blade, fang and horn. If that enemy falls, he will take a 5ft step and use his remaining attacks on the non-dazed giant.

Nienna fires at the undazed giant, her arrows striking him down. 42 dances up to one of the dazed giants and cuts it down, feeling its life ooze into him. Alden torments the dazed giant and boggard, who don't seem to hear him. Lavode's bralani manages to lightning bolt the giant in front of him! Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15, who twitches and tics, but does not fall... yet. Lastly Exiel eviscerates the boggard, who falls to the ground, a mere twitching thing that used to be a living soul.

The last giant is dispatched quickly before the dazing wears off, leaving a storeroom transformed into a charnel house.

Out of combat!

The crates and barrels prove to be filled with mouldering foodstuffs stocked here ago by the Way and lost to the ravages of time. The only door that remains lies to the north. Nienna thoroughly examines the door and opens it, revealing a submerged library. Water seeps through a thin, vertical crack that runs from the waterline of the north wall to the center of the ceiling in this tall flooded chamber. A stairway leads from the south door down into the dark waters that nearly fill this large library. Tall bookcases rise only inches above the waterline as they trace
the edge of the room, and a second set of wider shelves spiral about the room’s interior. Four algae-covered pillars support the ceiling above.

Two masked men, wearing the elongated masks you saw on the lookouts above, stand flanking a kneeling thin man who looks dazed and disoriented. The kneeling man matches the description King the kappa gave you of Hamade Sora, his flautist. The two masked men look in your direction but make no move to attack.

Lavode mutters, Ralph, may want to go easy on the 'boom' magic. I don't think we want that crack to open up any wider.

Lavode examines the area looking for any signs of anyone hidden (movement in the water, wet foot/hand prints, etc...).
perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28

The water is dark and still; nothing can be distinguished within. You can see no wet footprints or handprints anywhere in the room.

As always, Ralph goes invisible as soon as the previous combat is over, and is invisible well before the next door is opened.

"Of course, Lavode, I am perfectly aware that excessive application of arcane might at the wrong time and place can be devastatingly unproductive. I have...other means."

When he sees the flutist seemingly enchanted between the cultists, he quickly flies over into Hamada Sora's square. If he encounters opposition along the way (which should only happen if they can see invisible creatures), Ralph will cast emergency force sphere as an immediate action to protect himself. If he reaches Hamada Sora without incident, he will cast emergency force sphere to cover both himself and the flutist in the force sphere.

Ralph flies invisibly toward the form of Hamade Sora, who kneels, eyes unfocused, upon the bookshelf. Ralph can feel the hum of magic in this room, which seems focused on preserving the books from the ravages of time and moisture. However the magic is taxed by the presence of so much water here and seems to be humming almost with an audible tone as it fights to fulfill its purpose. Ralph hovers above Sora and activates his force sphere. The two masked figures are pushed roughly back by the sphere and raise their tridents to attack!

Initiative!

Round 1:

20 Unknown
18 Lavode
17 Ralph
16 Exiel
6 Masked men
4 Alden

Nienna and 42 are up!

The water here is 15' deep and black as night. There's only 5' between the waterline and the ceiling. Walking along the perimeter shelves requires a DC 7 Acrobatics check. Walking the wider inner shelves requires a DC 2 Acrobatics check.

How much time have we spent getting through the last 2 rooms since the fight with the elementals ended? I want to know how much to mark off of my buffs. Also I would assume we spent more then a minute searching the giant room so the Bralani is gone.

I would have re-cast divine favour before opening the next door. If we took more than 5 minutes in the previous room, I would also have re-cast some of my other buffs, but I don't think we would have wanted to spend that much time in there with our buffs ticking away.

42 will run across the tops of the book shelves while charging lightning bolt. He will hold the charge and wait until the two line up and then lets it fly.

acrobatics of +7... can i take a 2?
lightning: 10d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 1, 3, 3, 6, 5, 4, 4, 3) = 41 22 reflex for half

VIP is secured (in a force sphere). Fire at will. I will be using dimension door to come out, and then start blasting.

I think we all know how Nienna reacts... Starting with the one to the west.

Atk 1: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (16) + 21 = 37

Dmg Rapid-Piercing/Holy/Sneak: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 92d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 63d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 3) = 5

Can't take 10 due to combat, unless you have a feat or ability that modifies that. I need Acrobatics rolls; failure has consequences.

42 Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Nienna's arrows feather the masked man to the west, leaving him staggered but alive. 42 moves along the slippery shelves and begins casting his spell of lightning! However, before he can, a long tentacle wrapped tightly around a quarterstaff rises from the inky water and smacks at 42! Attack of Opportunity: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (6) + 22 = 28 It hits, dealing 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (2, 1) + 16 = 19 plus 1d6 ⇒ 1 cold damage! 42 Concentration vs DC 32: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20 He staggers, losing the spell!

However, rising from the depths of the inky black water is a strange site indeed: A giant squid, wielding a frosty quarterstaff in one long tentacle and bedecked with spell component pouches, scroll cases and other arcane accoutrement. His form seems stony and seems to blur around the edges. 20% miss chance! In Tien, it speaks in a watery voice that seems to burble with hatred. "In the name of Zhannagor, Lord Rybos commands that these intruders must die. Zhannagor!"

One tentacle rises from the water holding a thin black wand and fires at 42! Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29 The ray strikes 42 and seems to leech something vital from him, inflicting 1d4 ⇒ 4 temporary negative levels! Having done so, he slides 5 feet south in the water.

Lavode, Ralph and Exiel are up!

42 is currently blinking still from his ring. So there is a 50% miss chance

OMG BEST VILLAIN EVER.

Seeing his friend get injured fairly severely, Alden directs Naala to hop across to him.

Naala Acro: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

He then attempts a disarm check on the wand that the creature is holding.
It may take an AOO against him. Effective AC thanks to Naala's Bodyguard feat is 37.

disarm: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
YAY THE DICEBOT FINALLY LOVES ME!!

Hold on, Alden, not your turn yet!

Blinking Miss Chance for Aoo; 1-50 misses: 1d100 ⇒ 78
Blinking miss chance for Enervation; 1-50 misses: 1d100 ⇒ 97

Both hit 42.

Aww, man! I totally thought I was part of the next group up. Can I keep my rolls? LOL

I also just noticed that the wand was used from range, so if you can indicate on the map where that wand-tentacle is, Alden will try to move close enough to disarm it, otherwise he'll just go up to 42 and aid his AC as normal.

Ralph glowers, recognising the spell that the squid had just used on 42. It was, after all, the spell he had used to great effect against Krune himself.

But unable to affect the squid from within his protective bubble, he casts a spell to transport himself out of the bubble and back to the store room, ready to join the fray in the next round.

Alden and Exiel can also use pilfering hand to snatch the wand from the squid, and they can actually use the wand, so you may need to choose a new action anyway.

Ralph, the invisible wizard, disappears from his force bubble, leaving behind the dazed Hamade Sora. He reappears in the storeroom.

Exiel and Lavode are up!

Buff - remaining duration
Protection from Energy Electricity - 73 rounds (173 for others)
Magic Circle Against Evil - 773 rounds (on Alden)
Bless - 86 rounds
.
Seems like a good time for this...
Lavode draws a scroll and quickly reads it, tapping those close to him.
.
Water Breathing! Subject-42 is out of reach. If the invisible Ralph is close enough and gives lets me know, he can be included.
I'm guessing this thing might grapple and drag some people into the water.

Aren't we still benefiting from Ralph's life bubbles?

"A spell-casting calamari. Now I've seen everything. By the wrath of Torag you shall be smited, foul abomination!" Exiel sighs, then bellows at the giant cuttlefish. (Swift Action.)

With Torag's wrath invoked upon the creature, Exiel utters an incantation and extends an expectant hand towards the creature's wand. (Standard Action.)

Pilfering hand vs wand: 1d20 + 9 + 9 + 3 + 2 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 9 + 3 + 2 + 9 = 50

If he gets the wand, he will drop it at Lavode's feet.(Free Action.)

Finally, with a flap of his gargoyle-wings, he propels himself through the air towards the cephalopod.(Move Action.)

AC44 vs squid due to smite.

Lucien will shift from his tattoo form before Exiel moves, and will position himself behind the wall and out of sight of the calamari for now.(Familiar's Move and Standard Actions.)

Lavode pulls a scroll from his pack, but his momentary lapse in attention allows the squidzard to lash out at him! Attack of Opportunity with tentacles: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29! It hits, dealing 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 3) + 5 = 19 damage and tries to grab him! Grab: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (2) + 29 = 31 He is grappled and the tentacle drags him into the water, interrupting his actions! The squidzard also constricts the poor Lavode for a further 4d6 + 15 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 5) + 15 = 26 damage!

Exiel reaches toward the squidzard while casting his spell and the black wand flies from the squidzard's grasp and lands in Exiel's outstretched hand. He drops it, but is shocked to see Lavode fly past him, in the grasp of the squidzard. He flies at the squid, while his familiar leaps to safety.

The two masked figures grip their tridents and chant "Zhannagor!" They both stare hard, one at Exiel and the other at 42. Their eyes burn with an evil light through the mask! Evil eye hex, targeting AC! -2 AC for 1 round, plus I need a Will Save DC 14 or the duration is extended to 5 rounds!

Alden is up for Round 1, then Nienna and 42 for Round 2!

Round 2:
27 Nienna
22 42
20 Lord Rybos
18 Lavode
17 Ralph
16 Exiel
6 Masked men
4 Alden

Alden will move forward and put himself in the optimal position to help out. Unfortunately he can't do much for Lavode.

Exiel and 42 get +15 Dodge bonuses to their AC up to a total of 4 times in the next round.

Acrobatics checks if you move without flying or swimming, people!

I thought someone in front of me gave me cover so I wouldn't provoke AoO

Soft Cover

Creatures, even your enemies, can provide you with cover against ranged attacks, giving you a +4 bonus to AC. However, such soft cover provides no bonus on Reflex saves, nor does soft cover allow you to make a Stealth check.

In this case it was not a ranged attack, it is a melee attack.

Lavode, see the discussion thread.

I was incorrect on my ruling, so I am revising the action to reflect.

Lavode casts his spell, providing water breathing for those closed to him. As Exiel advances, however, the squidzard is free to lash at him in an attack of opportunity! Tentacles!: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24, it snaps next to Exiel's stone head, but misses hitting him!

Nienna is up for Round 2!

will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Unable to do much against the giant squid, 42 uses an arcana point to bring back lightning bolt. He runs up the shelve and lines up the two masked men and castss the lightning bolt.
acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

lightning: 10d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 2, 4, 3, 3, 1, 2, 4, 1) = 29 22 reflex for half

Nienna mutters to Lavode: "Sorry, but I need a little space."

How high is the ceiling in this room?

If high enough that she can cast obscuring mist (20ft radius) without blocking Lavode's sight, she will scamper up the wall with her boots of spider climb and do so.

If not high enough, then she moves south and up the wall until she is 20 feet away from Lavode before casting.

Acro to avoid AOO: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30

The water here is 15' deep and black as night. There's only 5' between the waterline and the ceiling. Walking along the perimeter shelves requires a DC 7 Acrobatics check. Walking the wider inner shelves requires a DC 2 Acrobatics check.

Not that much space.

That's the room with the pool. Nienna and Lavode are standing in the room where the giants were located, shooting through the doorway.

The storage room is only around 12 feet tall. The marsh giants were pretty much scraping their fleshy heads.

Nienna races up the wall with her spidery climbing boots and casts a misty spell of obscuration! I put a fog cloud on the board and gave the players the ability to move it. Please place it where you want it.

42 resists the worst of the evil eying, and races up to line up his lightning bolt, but the squidzard lashes out as he casts! Tentacle!: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20, but he misses as his attention is drawn elsewhere! The lightning bolt goes off, but it hits the force sphere and the far cultist is saved! Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 The cultist in the line of the lightning takes the full brunt, twitching as he is hit!

Lord Rybos, the Squidzard, lets out a screech of anger at the loss of his wand and lashes out!

Quarterstaff vs Exiel: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (9) + 22 = 31 for 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (2, 6) + 16 = 24 damage plus 1d6 ⇒ 2 cold damage!
Quarterstaff vs Exiel: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21 for 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (6, 3) + 16 = 25 damage plus 1d6 ⇒ 2 cold damage!
Quarterstaff vs Exiel: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23 for 2d6 + 16 ⇒ (4, 3) + 16 = 23 damage plus 1d6 ⇒ 6 cold damage!
Bite vs Exiel: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31 for 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 4) + 5 = 11 damage!
Tentacle vs Lavode: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23 for 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 2) + 5 = 13 damage and a grab attempt if successful grab: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (12) + 29 = 41 If the grab hits, it constricts for 4d6 + 15 ⇒ (2, 2, 5, 6) + 15 = 30 damage!

Lavode, Ralph and Exiel are up!

With smite evil up, Lord Rooibos pretty much needs a natural 20 to hit me. XD

will save: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (13) + 20 = 33

Exiel easily shrugs off the worst of the hex, and what remains of its dark power barely puts a dent in the powerful divine protection that Torag has granted Exiel against his calamari adversary. Lord Rooibos might as well have been flailing at the air, for even his 3 mirror images remain unscathed! (AC is 42 vs Lord Squid even after the hex reduction. Bite my maximised CHA smited evil!)

With an easy grin, Exiel returns the favour!

katana attack roll: 1d20 + 5 + 7 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 7 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 9 = 47

Woop woop! 2 crits threats! Oh and btw, because Exiel is smiting, he ignores any DR Lord Calamari might have. ;))

Fog cloud is placed with the blue border.

If this guy is a caster, should one of us go to readied status to disrupt any attempts to cast instead of everyone full attacking?

It looks like it prefers melee, and is actually not bad at it. I'm happy to just blast it into orbit.

It looks like Rybos is partly submerged. Does this give it any reduced damage or save bonuses against a fireball? What about acid?

Reconsidered. On the off-chance Rybos has our MacGuffin, I don't want him teleporting or plane-shifting away.

Seeing that the battle is going well, Ralph decides to seal Rybos' fate.

Defensively cast dimensional anchor using arcane bonded headband, DC23: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27
touch attack vs Rybos: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
caster level check if he has SR: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20 Will use my reroll if this is not enough.

I still want to know whether the water gives him any advantages against a fireball, since I will be blasting him next round.

Exiel's full attack lands and penetrates the stony skin of the squidzard with holy ease but his katana does not seem to find a deep vein Missed the confirmation by 1! Strange inky blood spills into the water. Ralph casts a spell of anchoring, locking down any teleportation the squidzard might have.

Lavode is up! I'll research the water/fireball issue and post when I know.

Attacks from Land: Characters swimming, floating, or treading water on the surface, or wading in water at least chest deep, have improved cover (+8 bonus to AC, +4 bonus on Reflex saves) from opponents on land. Land-bound opponents who have freedom of movement effects ignore this cover when making melee attacks against targets in the water. A completely submerged creature has total cover against opponents on land unless those opponents have freedom of movement effects. Magical effects are unaffected except for those that require attack rolls (which are treated like any other effects) and fire effects.

Fire: Nonmagical fire (including alchemist's fire) does not burn underwater. Spells or spell-like effects with the fire descriptor are ineffective underwater unless the caster makes a caster level check (DC 20 + spell level). If the check succeeds, the spell creates a bubble of steam instead of its usual fiery effect, but otherwise the spell works as described. A supernatural fire effect is ineffective underwater unless its description states otherwise. The surface of a body of water blocks line of effect for any fire spell. If the caster has made the caster level check to make the fire spell usable underwater, the surface still blocks the spell's line of effect.

Buff - remaining duration
Protection from Energy Electricity - 72 rounds (172 for others)
Magic Circle Against Evil - 772 rounds (on Alden)
Bless - 85 rounds
Water Breathing - hours (on everyone except 42)
.
Ouch, now he's definitely grappled.
.
As the tentacle begins to coil about him, Lavode calls the power to try and get away Pustite ma!
immediate action spell, liberating command, escape artist with +20 to beat it's CMD
escape artist: 1d20 + 1 + 20 ⇒ (13) + 1 + 20 = 34 , hmm... probably not
.

Lavode finds himself dragged into the water next to the squidzard! He does his best to break free, but the tentacle is too tight and when he tries to cast, it squeezes, breaking his concentration!

The masked men both cackle madly, extending the evil eye hex AC negatives another round. The masked man nearest to 42 throws a javelin at him! Acrobatics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29, dealing 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 damage! The other masked man glares at Alden! Will Save DC 14, failure means -2 AC for 5 rounds, success means only 1 round!

Alden is up for Round 2! Then Nienna and 42 are up for Round 3!

Round 3:
27 Nienna
22 42
20 Lord Rybos
18 Lavode
17 Ralph
16 Exiel
6 Masked men
4 Alden

1-49 miss, 50 and up hit.
mischance: 1d100 ⇒ 21

Luckily for 42, he blinked out of this dimension for the moment it took for the spear to pass through his body. 42 chants a spell, Ghoul Touch fort save, 16 negates, He jumps from shelve to shelve, charging up his sword with more power and getting within range of the mask wielding man. Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 7 - 4 = 20

If The masked man fails his fort save, i need another fort save from every creature within 10 feet of him to make a fort save, same DC, or become sickened.

Unable to get within reach to help Lavode, Alden aids Exiel in the hopes of taking down the squid before it kills poor Lavode.

Full round of aiding (Swift, Move, Standard), you get +35 to your AC against up to 4 attacks this round, Exiel! Rip him up!.

Umm...I think he already needs a natural 20 to hit me without Alden's help. My AC against Lord Calamari post-evil eye hex is 44 due to smite evil. Perhaps he could help 42 instead? XD

Either way, with another round of Exiel's full attack, Nienna sneak-full-attacking and Ralph starting to blast, this fight should be over relatively quickly. Just be careful about excluding Lavode from the AoE, Ralph!

The spell i just cast on this guy targets all other creatures, All except for me. If the squid also fails, he is also sickened. Don't come near us right now.
