[Outpost] GM Chie's 9-07 Salvation of the Sages (Inactive)

Game Master Korolan

"Geez, I'm getting lonely over here just making this guy competent!" Gamin complains, casting Guidance on Ardelaneu.

Yes! Still 15 ft up. She's not going o close into Melee unless she has to! Additionally, I'm going to say that she's high enough off the ground as to not provide cover. Or, to make it easier, I'll move her 5 feet to make it less ambiguous.
Let's not forget that Miss Chance for the Dust Cloud! Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 32 [ooc]Perfect!

After Khash's first swing, the Shira Div finally falls, releasing Kan-Yeh from her raking Death-Grip. The scorching rays erupt from Khash's fingertips, Passing through Aryana, but scorching an already blackened soul.

I'm going to drive Torch! As Gunari leads Torch out of the desert, he looks wistfully at the Wayfinder in his hand. "“You had such promise, Asha. I feel that I failed you, but the Ten failed us both and continue to fail our comrades. One of those failures I must live with; for the other I can avenge us and make things right—make it right for everyone.” Snapping out of his trance, Torch reaches into his own Handy Haversack, pulling out a Holy Weapon Balm, before slamming it onto Gunari's weapon. "You did good Kid, now go put that Ghastly Terror out of her misery!" The first hit you make in the next 10 minutes VS that lady counts as Ghost Touch!

The glow surrounding Cayden's Churchkey looks very Similar to light given off by the flail on the ground.

"So, um, could someone give me the ability to fly?" asks Gunari, looking up at the woman. He suddenly grins, looking over to Tahonekepsu....

I think Jaswinder and Pratvah were in range of the Channel as well.

"You despicable fiend! Your tyranny ends this very instant!"

+4 attack/damage if she still counts as Human.

"Pratvah! You did very good my dear. Why don't you warm yourself upon that massive tiger div. We will be done shortly."

At last! A feast!

Pratvah coils up on top of the still warm carcass and begins swallowing it.

Does Kan-Jeh still have that airwalk he had out in the very first fight?

I'm standing on one half of my carpet if someone wants to join me ^_^

He does not. That Fancy Air-walk had to do with the 'Ghosts' of Buildings rising from the sands and being able to walk on them! Any other tricks?

Jaswinder's first arrows connect, the ghost salt tears bits and pieces of Tahari's spirit away, Shrieking with rage and pain. You can do this guys!

Sinuhotep casts a furious glance across the room towards Tahiri and once again tries to dispel her magic, this time focusing on her magical shield.

Dispel Magic

Meanwhile, Seldanna casts an even more hateful glance towards the evil ghost. "Spoiling everything? Of course we are. We won't stop until your evil plans are a total mess!" she spits in disgust as she then moves across the room towards the last of the trapped sages.

Confusion (DC22) targeted 15' behind Tahiri so as to catch her in the burst but not Jaswinder.

Psst... Silence has a 1 round casting time...

Ah, thanks! So it does. I don't think I've ever thought about Seldanna actually using that spell before (she never has time). I'll change the spell to something else in my post above.

and confusion is a mind-affecting spell, so won't affect the undead ghost.

Amenopheus, frustrated with shenanigans of Tahari, casts lightning bolt at her, hoping to do some damage. 35 damage, DC19 for 1/2. So with incorporeal 17 or 8 damage

Yeah ghosts are difficult for Witches to handle.

Sinuhotep's furious glare causes Tahari's Shield of Force to shatter, the magical shards raining down upon the ground below. Dispel Check DC 23: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

You Identified Tahari as Undead, so I'll give you that you would know better than to waste that confusion. What other toys do you have?

Tahari Reflex!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
The bolt from Amenopheus sears through Tahari, burning away more scraps of her being.

OK, best bet may be to just give someone a Fortune Hex who hasn't already had one (anyone except Gunari). Let's say Kan-yeh since he is next up.

Misfortune on her would also be effective, assuming you haven't used it already on her.

CMB to Free Dhiara: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22
CMB to Free Dhiara: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21
CMB to Free Dhiara: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26

Ardelaneu focuses and steps into the mindscape, but is utterly unable to fight the hordes of her nightmares. Reluctantly, he returns to the real world and turns toward Tahari.

Kan-Jeh grabs onto his scroll of Fly, and reads the words. "Now Ken-Jeh gits ta you. Da Loa calls ya name Tahiri. Now 'tis time far ya to heed da call."

Move to retrieve, standard to cast, was unsure if someone raging could cast from a scroll but I'm going to go with it.

Kan-yeh, I'll give it to you, for simplicity's sake.

Aryana glares down at Jaswinder, before chanting in Ancient Osiriani. Extending her Ghostly Arm, she makes a clutching motion at Jaswinder's neck. Jaswinder, DC 25 Fort Save vs Suffocation

Pointing back at Kan-yeh, the Dazing Flaming Sphere rolls its way toward him, slamming into the Big Zenj's legs. DC 20 Relfex Negates: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 5, 2) = 18

Swift action arcane pool for flaming, shocking, frost! 5-ft. step toward Dhiara. Lets get that sage free!!

Khash leaps into Dhiara's mindscape, his scimitar a torrent of energy.
FRA to free Dhiara, not sure if that means I can use Spell Combat but if I can... Spell Combat! Casting touch of fatigue.

Full attack with haste, good hope, and fervor for +2 to hit, +1 from inspire courage (lingering), -2 from negative levels. I get a +1 with her for having 1 Bonus Combat Feat, but I don't know what it adds to...

1st Attack: 1d20 + 15 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 15 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 29
1st Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 2 + 1 + 3d6 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 2 + 1 + (2, 6, 4) = 29(Fire, Elec, Cold)

Haste Attack: 1d20 + 15 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 15 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 21
Haste Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 2 + 1 + 3d6 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 + 1 + (1, 2, 3) = 25(Fire, Elec, Cold)

2nd Attack: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 14
2nd Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 2 + 1 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 + 1 + (2, 2, 4) = 22(Fire, Elec, Cold)

ToF Attack: 1d20 + 15 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 15 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 33
ToF Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 2 + 1 + 3d6 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 + 1 + (6, 2, 1) = 28(Fire, Elec, Cold)

ToF CONFIRM: 1d20 + 15 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 2 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 15 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 2 + 8 = 44
ToF CRIT Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 16

Hopefully 2 out of 4 of those hit...

Tahonekepsu sighs as the Caydenite beckons for flying assistance. She waits as he tries to mount her...
ride DC20: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0 Fails, move action

Gunari's reaction is pure glee! He calls once more upon his god to enchance his armor and blade (Sacred armor as swift to add +2 to his armor, fervor to add holy to his weapon as a free action under sacred weapon)

He them waits for her to get close enough for him to attack

Cayden's Churchkey, all the conditions and buffs, VS: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23 magic ghost touch adamantine PA: 2d10 + 15 + 2d6 ⇒ (9, 4) + 15 + (4, 5) = 37 (really, dice, do you hate me so much?

She also attacks the ghost.

Amenopheus shruggs, and readies a magic missile for when she casts.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Jaswinder abruptly ceases his performance.

Saving Finale?: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

And then he begins to cough and choke.

At least he has Lingering Performance, so you all still have two rounds left of Inspire Courage)

"!!!"

Full Attack, Seeking, Improved Precise Shot, Gravity Bow, Hero's Feast, Ghost Blanch Arrows, Inspire Courage, Point Blank Shot.

Many Shot: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 27

Damage: 2d6 + 10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2) + 10 + 1 + 1 = 16

Pratvah hinges her jaw closed as the Div's tail slides down her throat.

A nap sounds really good right now...

Sinuhotep rushes to Jaswinder's assistance trying to dispel the suffocating effects from the ranger.

Dispel Magic on Suffocation

Meanwhile, Seldanna reverts back to her original plan, commencing a Silence spell to quiet the evil necromancer should she manage to survive her companions' attacks.

Hoping Tahari is already down now, or is that just wishful thinking?

Dhiara, seeing past the Inevitability of time (Thanks to Khash's timely intervention) breaks from her stupor, before looking up to Tahari. "Thank you Khash, Let us end this fight!"

Jaswinder, succumbing to the Ghost's awful spell, falls unconscious, unable to breathe. Per suffocation, if you fail your save (or Saves, in your case) you drop to 0, and fall unconscious on your turn. It's a Really rough 5th level spell.

On the Back of Tahonikepsu (who gets a small bite in on the way) Gunari's charged blade stabs through Tahari's Ghostly heart. Slowly drifting down to the ground, she screams out. "I was supposed to have Eternity!? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?!" As her essence reaches the ground, the earth itself opens up beneath her, Flames dark as midnight surrounded by a Silver shimmery glow. Dozens of hands reach from the darkness, grabbing fragments of Tahari's soul, tearing and shredding the remains of her essence. A deep booming laugh echoes from the depths of the darkness. "Not even you can escape your Fate Tahari. Even you must honor your agreement to Ahriman!" With a final ear piercing shriek, what remains of Tahari is swallowed up into the darkness, before the hole closes in upon itself, leaving only the Pendant that started this whole ritual.

Sinuhotep rushes over to Jaswinder. "Hopefully I can save one life today!" Dispel Magic DC 23: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22 His first attempt fails, as Jaswinder begins to die.

"You have done too much for our Order, I cannot permit you to die just yet!" Sinuhotep shouts, before attempting another cast.
Dispel Magic DC 23: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28 Much Better!

Sinohotep smiles, something you wouldn't have expected from a Lich. "I no longer hear her Whispers, that soft tugging at my soul. I think... I think we might be free!" Tahonikepsu is elated, her Toothy grin even wider than normal. "This calls for Celebration! I have just the idea that might immortalize the achievement that we had today!" Torch pats Gunari on the back, pulling a small keg out of his own haversack. Two cups (Pewter Cayden Drinking steins) are filled from the keg, before handing one to Gunari. "I didn't think you all would bring me along, let alone save me in these last moments. I respect your care for your fellow pathfinders. If you need a favor... I might be able to help you out." Quickly draining his own mug, he leaves to clasp hands with Amenopheus, before speaking a command word and disappearing.

Amenopheus gathers up Kan-Yeh, Seldanna, Khash'Telek and Ardelaneu, before speaking in hushed tones. "Tahonikepsu is planning a Statue, with all of your likeness to immortalize you in our order, but I might have an idea for something better. With all the Work and Devotion that you have displayed to our order, I would be Honored to kepp your legacy safe in a different manner." Holding out the Onyx and Spinel sage jewels, he winks. "Perhaps we can come to some sort of agreement, after the celebration is over?"

The sages rejoice, surviving the harrowing ordeal, as well as keeping Every Single Sage Jewel and Purging Tahari (And her Legacy) from Golarian.

Per suffocation, if you fail your save (or Saves, in your case) you drop to 0, and fall unconscious on your turn. It's a Really rough 5th level spell.

That specifically happens next round. I have a single round to act before dropping unconscious.

EDIT: just read the next post. I guess it doesn't matter in this case.

I don't see where you get that. Even succeeding reduces you to one action.

...if he succeeds, he is merely staggered for 1 round as he gasps for breath. If the target fails, he immediately begins to suffocate. On the target's next turn, he falls unconscious...

You quoted it yourself. On the target's next turn, he falls unconscious.

I can't speak for that round, but I can still full attack.

Ah, you hadn't taken your turn from before she cast it? Because your next turn is the one after she casts. I can't see you having a full round and the caster having another action before the spell takes effect.

WOO HOO!

I'm reading the spell linked to the PRD. If I fail my save, I begin to suffocate. On the round following that, I drop unconscious.

Note that these are different rules from Suffocating, where you fall unconscious on the *first* round (as opposed to the *following* round).

But, like I mentioned earlier, it's moot now.

"Khash'telek and Seldanna, you should drink your cures now. Then, once they have worked, I can restore you with the wand!" says Gunari, tankard in hand.

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 2 - 2 = 20

Kan-Jeh leaps out of the way of the burning sphere.. Only to witness Tahiri die. As she slips into the ground, Kan-Jeh taunts: "Doncha git too comfy wid' Arhiman. Kan-Jeh be coming ta git ya. Da Loa calls ya name Tahiri!"

"Did I come all this way just to smack a graveknight around a bit?" Gamin complains. Ardelaneu sheathes the talkative blade and offers a hand to Gunari.

"It was an honor to fight by your side. All of you." he adds, looking to the rest of the party. "If there are no more foes to subdue, then I think it is time for that drink."

Gunari's grin grows wider, if that were possible. He realizes that Torch has left with the firken, which causes him to shake his head.

When Ardelaneu offers his hand, Gunari pulls the paladin in for a big hug! "We survived!" he exclaims, as he starts pulling out tankards. "A round for all, courtesy of the Accidental God!" He makes liberal use of create beer!

Seldanna downs her cure with a grimace. "Yes, a beer could be in order...if even to wash out this horrible taste. That was certainly interesting...and yes it was an honour to be able to achieve such a momentous victory together!"
