Ongoing PFS campaign. (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

I can use Vassago's wand on him if he likes.

Let's go with that, sure.

Healed up, you head up the stairs.

Once Sele arrives at the top of the stairs, the sight of an armored man and a ghostly figure greets him. The armored man speaks up.

"I heard you coming, Vaydran, kill that scaly man."
=======================

Dargo Mar, round 1

The ghost is swift, and it quickly flies towards Sele.
Touch: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 Supernatural: 6d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 3, 2, 4) = 19
Fort Sele for 1/2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 No pass.

Sele feels his body ache, as the touch of the spirit wrecks his body with pain.
-----------------
Harlis
Sele & Vassago
Spenser
-----------------
Dargo

So back to the usual, you failing rolls for me....

Taken aback by the association with Vaydran "Ummm. who?" he feels the chill soak into him

"Time to free your soul."

Sele uses Smite Evil on the ghost and attacks with his magical flaming sword

Greatsword+1+smite+flaming: 1d20 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 3 = 202d6 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 6) + 13 + (6) = 31

Greatsword+1+smite 2+flaming: 1d20 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 3 = 172d6 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (3, 6) + 13 + (2) = 24

First hit gets an extra +6 damage v undead

So back to the usual, you failing rolls for me....

(shrug)

So back to the usual, you smiting for decent dmg.
I'm guessing the fight will last 4 or 5 rounds.

Sele hacks away into the ghost that is Vaydran, dealing 18 dmg.
The 2nd attack misses the ghost, but only just.

Harlis & Vassago
Spenser
------------------
Dargo

That half damage is nasty... bleh.. ok all I got it's attention... chop it!!!

"What's going on?", seeing Sele get struck by something and get attacked. Taking a defensive posture, Vassago tries to slink his way up stairs.

Standard action to total defense for +6 to AC, then move action to get upstairs

As Vassago ascends to move past the others, Vaydran quickly reaches out to Vassago.

Touch, height: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 1 = 22 Supernatural: 6d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 3, 6, 4, 2) = 24
Fort Vassago for 1/2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Vassago's body resist the unnatural wracking partially.

Harlis (happens 1st)
Spenser
--------------
Dargo

Peering up at the incorporeal creature Harlis calls "Sword of Iomedae fend you back." as he casts a spiritual weapon.

Know. Religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Spiritual Weapon: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 for 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 force damage.

"Shackle-struck poultermensch! Blight us no more, when such greater Stories than thine should be book-shut sooner!"

[dice=+1 Greatsword, Power Attack, Challenge]1d20+9[/dice]
damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (1, 4) + 19 = 24
+1 Greatsword, Power Attack, Challenge: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (6, 5) + 19 = 30

Can I move, or am I on a staircase behind Sele or something that would get in my way? I'd like to end my turn with a 5-foot step behind Sele, if I can (simply as a way of beginning to make my way around).

You'd take a move action in that case, provoking but getting up on equal flooring.

Spenser declares the ghost of Vaydran to be his foe of the day, and he makes a swing at the ghost. It's close, but Vaydran's ghost evades the attack nimbly.
Seeking a way around, he moves up the stairs.
As he does, Vaydran reaches out to him.

Aye, ghost has combat reflexes.

Touch, height: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 1 = 29 6d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 6, 5, 6, 2) = 23
Crit?: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 = 11 Extra if so: 6d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 6, 2, 3) = 19 Nope, but close call.
Fort for 1/2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 No pass.
Spenser feels pain inside his body, as if suffering from a severe case of muscle cramps all over.
It's not nearly enough to take the cavalier out, he's been through worse.
-------------------
Dargo sees the spiritual hammer miss on its attack.
He frowns.

"Clever."
He raises his fist, which begins to glow.
"Begone, spirit weapon!"
Cl DC 18: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

The spiritual weapon Sparks as if a magnetic item short circuits, and it disappears.

Dargo smirks, and then his figure doubles, now there's 2 of him!
============================

Dargo Mar, round 2

Vaydran reaches out to Sele again.
Ghostly fondling: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 6d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 1, 3, 3) = 16
fort for 1/2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 Pass.
Sele resists part of the nerve wrecking that Vaydran causes him.
-----------------------------
Harlis
Sele & Vassago
Spenser
-----------------
Dargo

Sele uses lay on hands on himself "May your mercy restore me Lady Milani." and then he swings at the ghost again

LOH: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 2, 1) + 6 = 15

Greatsword+1+smite+flaming: 1d20 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 3 = 252d6 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 5) + 13 + (1) = 20

Greatsword+1+smite 2+flaming: 1d20 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 3 = 192d6 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 13 + (6) = 23

Note that Sele is after me and this will matter.
With dire foes assaulting them Harlis calls upon one of the most powerful of his prayers. "Fervor of Iomedae inspire you!" He then moves up past the spectral foe to assess the fight better.

Casting Blessing of Fervor on the party, each person can choose one of four effects. Extra attack or +2 attack, dodge AC & Reflex saves being the best. Probably provoking the ghost again. Also if his original line of sight is bad then the casting would be after the move.

You guessed right.

Touch aoo, height: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 1 = 25 6d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 4, 1, 4, 6) = 26
Fort for 1/2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 Pass.

Harlis too, feels the pain the ghost inflicts, but resists most of it.
Sele merrily chops away, dishing out 21 to Vaydran.

Vassago
Spenser
--------------
Dargo

You'd take a move action in that case, provoking but getting up on equal flooring.

Since you didn't mention that as a possibility, and I didn't say anything about what I'd have wanted to do if it were, I think it's reasonable to say I'd not have moved at all if I'd known that were the case, and have that all taken back.

"Scoff whilst thou art still at leisure to so do, cunning-man! 'Tis THY atma-ultima I shall savor most!" Sir Spenser shouts at Dargo while continuing to battle his ghostly servant.

Declaring a Challenge upon Dargo, too - I don't see anything about Cavaliers not being able to Challenge multiple targets at once if they can (it's important to note that if I had, I wouldn't have Challenged the ghost).

Definitely taking the extra attack as my Fervor.

+1 Greatsword, Power Attack, Challenge, Fervor: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (2, 5) + 19 = 26
+1 Greatsword, Power Attack, Challenge, Fervor: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (1, 1) + 19 = 21
+1 Greatsword, Power Attack, Challenge, Fervor: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (4, 6) + 19 = 29

Feeling the surge of Iomedaes blessing Sele intones

"Thankyou Lady Justice for your blessing."

Before he strikes again

Greatsword+1+smite+flaming: 1d20 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 12 + 3 = 302d6 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 13 + (3) = 23

[ooc]Sele uses the extra attack provied by Harlis blessing, seeing as Harlis goes before Sele."[/b]

Posting during lunch, but will be shooting at ghost

Sele makes use of Iomedae's fervor, and makes an additional swing at Vaydran, hitting for an extra 11.

Spenser makes three attacks, but darn it, all of them miss.
Cover from obstacle.

Vassago, what's your choice of fervor?

Taking the +2 to hit and AC

Vassago moves to the other side of Sele (there is a path I can take to avoid the AoO) and summons a moderate sized bat of water to swing at the ghost.

Counts as magical, so 50% damage

Kinetic bat @ ghost: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 2 + 2 = 22
Damage on hit: 3d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 3, 6) + 7 = 17

Vasago's water bat swings through the ghostly matter, dealing 8 damage to it.
-----------
Dargo raises his fist
"Endure!"

4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 5) = 14
Vaydran recovers some hp.
===========================

Dargo Mar, round 3

Touch: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 6d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 6, 3, 1, 6) = 19
Fort for 1/2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Sele takes but 9 dmg from the eerie touch.

Vaydran's ghost (-26) then glides 5ft away from flank.
-------------
Harlis
Sele & Vassago
Spenser (can post in advance)
-------------
Dargo

Harlis takes the +2 Attack, AC and reflex

"Light strike you down." Harlis calls you as he calls upon the positive energies of his prayers to then step forth and strike the ghostly foe.

Cure Serious for attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24 for 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (2, 8, 4) + 7 = 21

Save for half damage DC17

Using the extra attack

Vassago summons his bat and swings it left to right against the ghost!

Flanking kinetic blade: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 = 11
Damage on hit: 3d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 4, 6) + 7 = 19 50% of damage
BoF Flanking kinetic blade: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 2 = 15
Damage on hit: 3d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 1, 6) + 7 = 15 50% of damage

Ghostly will?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Harlis' blessed touch deals the full divine energy to Vaydran's ghost, and it lets out a hollow scream of rage.

Vassago attacks twice, but to no avail.
Sele (happens 1st)
Spenser
--------------
Dargo

Spenser keeps at it....

Taking the extra attack....

+1 Greatsword, Power Attack, Challenge, flank, Fervor: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (3, 6) + 19 = 28
+1 Greatsword, Power Attack, Challenge, flank, Fervor: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (3, 1) + 19 = 23
+1 Greatsword, Power Attack, Challenge, flank, Fervor: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (5, 3) + 19 = 27

Sele mouths a silent prayer as he heals himself and he then attacks the ghost again

LOH: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 4, 6) + 6 = 18

Greatsword+1+smite+flaming: 1d20 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 3 = 252d6 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 4) + 13 + (2) = 24

Greatsword+1+smite+flaming Bonus: 1d20 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 3 = 352d6 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 13 + (5) = 24

Greatsword+1+smite+flaming 2: 1d20 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 3 = 162d6 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 5) + 13 + (6) = 28

Greatsword+1+smite+flaming Bonus crit confirm: 1d20 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 12 + 3 = 342d6 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 6) + 13 + (5) = 25

Sele makes a swing most true. Holding his greatsword, he moves the grip to his side, before making a forward thrust straight into the ghost's chest.

The magic and divine energies cause it to resonate, and Vaydran's ghost disappears with a hollow scream of rage.

That wasn't so difficult, was it? =^^=

Spenser, what's your round instead?

"'Tis THY atma-ultima I shall savor most, cunning-man! Follow thine polter-fool to perdition and what dreams may come!" Sir Spenser declares while advancing upon Dargo with miraculous speed!

Declaring a Challenge upon Dargo!

Taking +30 speed as this round's Fervor.

+1 Greatsword, Power Attack, Challenge: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
damage: 2d6 + 19 ⇒ (1, 5) + 19 = 25

If windmills are obstacles to be overcome, a mere cleric is but a trivial matter.

Spenser closes in on Dargo, declaring this evildoer's wicked days to an end.
The sword comes down, but Dargo leans backwards, letting the blade pass by him.
-----------------
"Heel instead."

4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 1, 4) = 13
Will Harlis: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Will Sele: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Will Spenser: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (9) - 2 = 7
Will Vassago: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

A ripple of energy flows out of Dargo, and all but Sele take the full brunt of it.
========================

Dargo Mar, round 4

Harlis
Sele & Vassago
Spenser
-------------
Dargo

Not that it would have helped that time, but my Will save modifier is now 0.

It helps vs spells, this is a channel, which are (Su)

I know, but it's 0 even without that.

*Blink*
emmm...what am i forgetting? ^^'

My levels...?

Sele will choose the extra movement to make sure that he can get to Dargo and strikes at the evil priest

He deliberately says nothing this one has made his intentions clear

Greatsword+flaming: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 132d6 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (3, 3) + 7 + (2) = 15

Vassago readies his aim and hurls a massive blast of water at the evil cleric!

Using +2 to hit/AC

Empowered Water blast @ Dargo: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 22
Damage on hit: 3d6 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (5, 6, 4) + 10 + 1 = 26 +50%

"Hydro-doken!"

Note I have heroism running so my saves are all +2 higher, a 17 might have made that last save.

Harlis grunts at the onslaught of negative energy, seeing it open wounds on his fellows. "I would normally ask for a surrender, but you seem too far gone for such measures. Justice will claim you. He proclaims while moving to repair the worst of the damage.

Cast cure moderate on Vassago: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (8, 3) + 7 = 18

1d2 ⇒ 1

Vassago blasts Dargo right in the chest for 26, despite his armor and double, and he feels the impact resounding in his chest.

Sele hacks at Dargo, who pushes his sword aside with his own.
1st aid, yes please, as Harlis administers it to Vassago's wounds.
-------------
Dargo.
Casting defensive DC 19: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
The guy suddenly vanishes from sight, and moves about unseen.

For Sele, that's a DC 30 perception to get a hunch of where he was headed. 31 for Vassago, 32 for Harlis & Spenser.

==========================

Dargo Mar, round 5

Harlis
Sele & Vassago
Spenser
-------------
Dargo (-26)

Harlis sighs knowing he already used the counter for positive energy. He then reaches back to his magical haversack to pull a scroll and read from it with the same spell for this occurrence.

Scroll of invisibility purge

(shiney effect as Harlis pulls out the scroll)

Harlis quickly reads the divine words to cancel invisibility, and Dargo's cover is blown.

Sele & Vassago
Spenser (can post ahead)
----------------
Dargo

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

"A ha I see you." Sele takes a 5 foot step towards Dargo and unleashes a plethora of attacks on him

Greatsword+flaming 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 302d6 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 2) + 7 + (5) = 19

Greatsword+flaming Bonus: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 322d6 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 7 + (3) = 14

Greatsword+flaming 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 272d6 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 7 + (5) = 16

Well that was unexpected and welcome.

Greatsword+flaming Bonus crit confirm: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 272d6 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 1) + 7 + (1) = 14

Greatsword+flaming 2 crit confirm: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 162d6 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 3) + 7 + (3) = 15

Yeah, I'll wait to see what Sele just did, but I'm sure he gone after that lol

I hope so, with your flashy moves, Harlis spells and Spensers lines I gotta do something to set myself apart."

(ahem ahem)

Sele recalls a masked man, clad in black, who'd carve his signature letter in the clothing of those evildoers who cross his path.

He does it with a similar fashion, but with more style, as Dargo's armor breaks upon Sele's triple swipe, carving a crude but clear S

Dargo's evil plans are over for good.

Combat over.
Hail to the paladin, ladies & gentlemen.

Sele gives a benediction for Dargo and the Ghost "Milani guide these poor souls to the afterlife."

Then he searches them and the room

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

Sele finds an ornate looking heavy chest, and its firmly locked.

Sele and Harlis, both knowledgable in religion, know that ghosts linger from either strong emotions or curses. Lest these are resolved, a ghost will reform in a few days.

Harlis casts a simple prayer and looks over the chest and area with interest. "If our goal is inside the chest we may need to use force. I bear no magics currently that might aid."

Detect Magic

Harlis doesn't get a magic vibe from the chest.

This thing requires either Kenji's knowledge of locks, or a high str check.

"Sele, make short work of that chest as you did the bad magic man!"

"I shall try, but chests are ough."

Str on chest: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

"Ich'd vizee thee grip yon upper gidget of das schloss, then smite firmly in with the mighty heel of thine sabaton - C'EST PRESTO!"

Strength check on chest: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Sele will try and aid Spenser in his attempt "Ok ok i'll try help you then.."

Str aid: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 Typical
