[PFS] 1-35: Voices in the Void (RD) Table 1 (Inactive)

Game Master Andrew Harasty

No 201113 approaches the curtain, attempting to ascertain if he can hear anything from the other side.

Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (2) + 0 = 2

"What ever ambush is through here, I shall break it upon my shield! Come Bergar, Follow us Pathfinders!"

Tem raises his tower shield of ectoplasm and force and prepares to charge through into the next room.

Poe focuses intently and abjures shield of pure force for Tem. Casts Shield

Pulling out a wand of infernal healing Poe turns to No. 201113, "please use this on anyone that gets hurt. don't mind the foulness, poop makes the best gardens."

Pulling out his other wand Poe heals Bergar's bruises from the earlier fall. cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Then he turns toward the unknown, net in one hand, wand in the other, resolute in the hard task in front of them.

A foul grimace spreads across Vogue's face as he hefts his spear and moves to stand before the curtain.

"Well played, when the prey flips the playing field on the hunters," he mutters under his breath. Saying a minor prayer of bolstering with a follow up to run his fingers through his hair, Vogue then reaches out for the curtain.

"Have at you, you crafty field flippers! Your time has come!"

Move towards the curtain, cast Guidance on himself, and then Vogue will pull at the curtain. May Shelyn have mercy on his saving throws I feel something bad happens from touching it.

Pulling aside the Curtain:

The walls and ceiling of this chamber bulge outward, continuing the grotesque architectural style of the antechamber, as if you were standing in the leviathan’s stomach. Queer, glowing nodules protrude from the walls at seemingly random intervals, bathing the room in their sickly green glow. A tall, free-standing, almost organic-looking archway carved from a strange, glowing blue-green stone stands atop a low dais in a wide alcove at the far end of the chamber. The center of the arch is empty, revealing the wall behind it, but the space occasionally flickers with curtains of starry darkness, as if somewhere else lies just beyond the portal. A susurrus of ghostly whispers seem to issue from the gate, their language and meaning unclear, but fraught with a sense of wrongness.

The queer architectural style continues into this oddly shaped chamber, with bulbous walls and a vaulted ceiling that soars to 30 feet in height. Weird glowing nodules along the walls illuminate the room with a sickly green radiance. A wide alcove in the northern wall holds a dais on which stands the Gate of Beyond, a 15-foot-tall archway carved from a strange, glowing blue-green stone called Abysium. This room is the sanctum of the aberrant sorcerer Imrizade Blakros. A strange metal cylinder is attached to the Gate at the apex of the arch.

Imrizade Blakros stands on the dais before the arch, connected to the Gate of Beyond by five disgusting, fleshy, fungoid umbilicals attached to her hips, shoulders, and the base of her skull. She is half-Osirian, with long, dark hair and light brown skin, wearing a weathered explorer’s outfit.

Init Imrizade Blakros: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Init Zombie: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Init, Bergar Ironhand: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (18) + 0 = 18

Init, Poe: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Init, Miklos: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Vogue pulls aside the curtain with such a stunning flourish, that you all get to act first!

Poe hops into the room and tries to net the zombie before the chaos of melee makes it impossible.

[dice=to hit touch; net]1d20+4[/dice]

Tem rushes into the room shield up, daring the zombie reflexes as he circles almost to behind it before he brings his hammer around.

to hit, slam, power attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
damage, slam, power attack: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

"That cylinder at the top of the gate!"

"Terror rains on the Blakros clan, it rallies around this family! It must cease! I say onto it, come with it, now!"

Vogue draws upon his granted powers of divinity to empower himself as he passes judgment upon the adversaries in this room of atrocity and he rushes as quickly as he can towards the entangled Imrizade.

As a swift action, Vogue activates his judgment ability, choosing Protection for +1 to AC. He then double moves across the room.

Is there an appropriate knowledge check that would apply to whatever the heck is on and/or affecting Imrizade?

Bergar strides into the room (1st move action, 20 ft.), takes a look at the zombie and decides it may not be worth it. I only get one shot at this t'day. Want t' make sure it's not wasted. If only me legs were longer...
Focusing on the cylinder he detects evil (2nd move action), searching for a target truly worthy of his Smite Evil. Not activating it yet

Miklos rushes forward and slashes at the zombie.

I'll take care of this...see if we can free her. Those cords perhaps....

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 171d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9can someone move me up pls?

Miklos rushes forward and slashes at the zombie.

I'll take care of this...see if we can free her. Those cords perhaps....

[dice=attack]1d20+7; 1d8+4 can someone move me up pls?

Gotcha covered

No. 201113 immediately runs up to the lady, all thoughts of fear abandoned at the sight of a pretty lady in distress. As he reaches her, he unsheathes his claws.

Double move to stand right next to Imrizade Blackros. He then unsheathes his claws as a free action (4/6 rounds remaining).

Aisha rushes forward 30ft. and activates Blessing Protection: +1 AC and Saving Throws for 1 minute.

Tem an Miklos solidly hit the zombie and dispatch it quickly.

Imrizade pulls out a wand and a [i]color spray[i] washes over Vogue and No. 201113

Will save DC 11

"Go to sleep and let voices guide your dreams"

everyone is up.

Will save: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14

"Ok," No. 201113 starts to say, eyes drifting, before suddenly alighting with a new fire. "No! I will not go to sleep! Let her go!" he yells, before slashing at the disgusting, fleshy, fungoid umbilicals attached to Blackros.

melee attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 101d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

@ GM Gustavef: Does the canister detect as evil?

Will save plus guidance: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 1 = 17

Vogue averts his eyes from the colorful glare. "Aahh, you are a tricky minx, aren't you? Well, I have already fallen for one of your tricks today, no more!"

Moves 20 ft, swift action to change his judgment to +1 to hit, attack non-lethally on Imrizade.

Attack, branched spear,non-lethal, judgment of justice: 1d20 + 6 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 - 4 + 1 = 8

Damage, non-lethal: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Agile minx, too! Must have gotten some of that light blast in my eyes.

@ GM Gustavef: Does the canister detect as evil?

Right. I knew I was forgetting something in my posts this morning

The canister itself is mundane, but the thing inside is evil.

You can use smite evil and get the bonus to attack and damage, but since you will need to cut through an object, it has hardness and not DR and so you won't bypass that.

"I have slept for too long already! arrgg!" Tem rushes forward and takes a mighty overhand swing at the the canister Umbical!

to hit, slam, power attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
damage, slam, power attack: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Poe moves up and attempts to disarm Imrizade's wand with his longspear.

disarm, longspear: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8

Miklos runs toward Imrizade, then at the last second, darts to his left to try to duck her reach.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

i assume that doesn't beat her cmb...does she threaten with a wand?

Sensing evil coming from whatever the canister contains, but unable to reach it at it's current location, he switches his focus to Imrizade. Detect Evil on Imrizade, move action. Moving as fast as his sturdy but short legs can carry him, he moves forward 20 feet.
"We need t' get t' whatever's in th' canister. I c'n unleash some righteous smitin' on it if I could get t' it."

"A wide alcove in the northern wall holds a dais on which stands the Gate of Beyond, a 15-foot-tall archway carved from a strange, glowing blue-green stone called Abysium. This room is the sanctum of the aberrant sorcerer Imrizade Blakros. A strange metal cylinder is attached to the Gate at the apex of the arch.

Aisha tries to disarm Imrizade's wand with her whip.

Disarm with Whip: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Good catch. So it is just out of reach of Tem. If you want to hit one of the Umbilicals attached to her you can.

Bergar detects that Imrizade is evil.

Tem strikes and severs one of the umbilicals. Aisha's whip trick does not work as Imrizade dodges out of the way.

The sorceress then reaches out to strike Tem.

Imrizade Cast Defensively: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Touch attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Shocking Grasp: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 4) = 16

"Begone useless ghost Kuburrum Ishme-Dagan has no use for you"

Back around to the top

Finally seeing a target that appears to be worthy of divine wrath (at least one he can reach), Bergar activates his Smite Evil against Imrizade swift action, gains +2 deflection to AC vs. Imrizade, runs forward move action, and swings at his target standard, non-lethal.
mwk warhammer+smite+non-lethal: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 - 4 = 24
Non-lethal damage+smite: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11
"Ye be lucky, woman, that I promised t' bring ye back alive if I could!"

No. 201113 hears his companions talking about some canister thing, and, with a fire in his eyes, spots it, steps back, and fires a Snowball at it. "I got it! Stand ready to get whatever's on the inside!" he yells to his compatriots.

ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 42d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 3) + 4 = 13

Unfortunately, he fires off of his back leg, missing high and to the right.

The shocking touch of Imrizade shakes the very connection to Tem, Poe focuses his entire will on keeping it open. Uses Etheric Tether to sacrifice 4 HP, preventing 4 damage to Tem.

As blood starts to ooze from his nose, Poe gives his all to close the gate. He scrambles forward and up the archway and tries to remove the canister.

climb, take ten: 10 + 18 = 28

What does Poe see, any way to disconnect the canister? He still has a standard action to attempt

"You weak willed mongrel from a house of mongrels!"

Tem unleashes on Imrizade in wrath.

to hit, slam, power attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
damage, slam, power attack: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

to hit, slam, power attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
damage, slam, power attack: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Aisha looks at the canister and tries to figure out if it can be snatched out of the gate with her whip.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

With that roll probably cannot determine precisely, groan!

She decides to give it a shot, and cracks her whip towards the canister to pull it out of the portal.

Attack CMB, whip: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Noting the devastating amount of energy unleashed on Tem and his near disappation, Vogue reaches forward while invoking the healing energies granted to him by Shelyn into the spirit.

cast CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

He slimed me...

"Go get her, Ray. Let's show her how we do things downtown."

"My wounds are closing! Quiver in fear Blakros, you face the undeniable might of Cooperation!"

Poe looks at the canister. It is made of iron (hardness 10) firmly attached requiring a significant strength check to pry off, or you can attempt to break it in place.

Aisha's whip wraps around the canister, but it is firmly in place.

Poe does realize that he could more firmly secure the whip so he, Aisha, and maybe one other with Aisha could work to pull it off.

Bergar's holy guidance solidly hits the Blakros woman

Tems attacks are thawted by the sorceresses's mage armor. The Umbilical were easier to strike.

Milkos is able to safely get around since she only has the wand out. Though she does have a rapier to her side.

Irmizade turns her attention to Bergar and does another shocking grasp.

Concentration: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
Touch attack: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 4 = 22 metal armor
Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 2) = 12

"Kuburrum Ishme-Dagan has no fear of your gods!"

Everyone is back up.

I'll try to disarm her wand...you try to get that canister... Miklos yells as he tries to flick the wand from her grasp. He then readies a parry and strike if she retaliates.

disarm: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

or i could just look foolish with those rolls...*facepalm*

Vogue quickly steps over to align with Miklos on the other side of Imrizade.

"I surmise some alien forces of the 'Dark Tapestry' have ensnared your better judgment so what I do, I do not do with malice. I'll not aim for your face or do any permanent damage, lass, for you may wish to have drinks with me after we wrap this untidy mess up."

Five foot step to flank, keep judgment of justice for +1 to hit, attack Imrizade with lethal damage.

Attack, spear + judgment + flank: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 14

Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"AAARRRGGGHHhhhhh!" Bergar's body convulses with the electrical current coursing through him. Smoke rising from under his helmet, the tips of his beard singed, and several strands of hair standing on end, his weapon hand visibly lowers as he no longer has the strength to attack.
"Tha's...tha's... pretty...effective...there, girl."
He five-foot staggers away, silently praying to Torag.
Torag, me Father o' Creation, protect these worthy allies who surround me. While I wish t' continue th' fight, if I do go on it'd likely be me last one. How could I protect th' worthy then, eh? I ain't ready t' meet Pharasma yet.

As he rears back for one final Snowball, No. 201113 spots Bergar, stumbling down the stairs in great agony. He spits, enflamed, reaching over to help the dwarf while using the wand Poe had given him before the fight.

"No-no you shall not hurt them! No-not o-on my watch!" he retorts loudly.

One expended use of the Wand of infernal Healing on Bergar Ironhand. Hopefully it won't corrupt him any haha

Poe does what he can to quickly tie off the whip, careless of how it may cut his hands. Poe uses his standard action last round to tie off the whip to the canister

This round. Having tied off the whip, poe scurries down the arch and up to Bergar, drawing a wand as he moves.

cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

"Stop casting spells!"

Tem brings around his hammer in a low swing to knock out her legs.

to hit, trip: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 provokes

assuming the trip works, the next attack is a slam. If the trip fails it is another trip.
to hit, slam: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
confirm, slam: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
damage, slam: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Tem trips the mage and she goes down followed with Tem's attack as he solidly pounds her.

No AoO since she still does not have a weapon out

A smoldering appears in Bergar's eyes, and this time it's not from the Shocking Grasp. The fury in his voice is almost palpable as he says through tightly clenched teeth, "Numbers, you 'n' me 'r' gonna have a very serious talk 'bout what you jus' did t' me. I 'preciate th' healin', but don't ye' ever do that again."
Bergar will be back up to 10hp after fast healing 1 and Poe's CLW of 9. Thanks, guys.

”Help me pull the canister!”, Aisha screams as she starts pulling hard on the whip to dislodge the foul item from the Gate.

Strength Check, pulling on whip: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Aisha pulls, but may require more than one person to give it a pull.

From the ground Irmizade she points the wand out to get who she can.

Bergar, Poe, and No 20113 Will save DC 11

One more round

will save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Poe quickly brings up an arm to shield his eyes against the bright spray of colours.

He takes a step to help pull on the whip, before thinking better of it and casts guidance on Bergar then steps away from the prone mage.

Cast guidance on Bergar, and then 5 foot step away.

"Yield you power crazed fool" Tem reaches down and attempts to pin her arms to the ground.

grapple; flanking: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 2 = 20 She has a 4 point penalty to her CMD for being prone. This provokes.

If she is grappled: can not move, -4 penalty to dexterity, -2 penalty on attack rolls except those made to escape, can take no action that requires two hands, The concentration DC to cast while grappled is 10 + 4 (Tem's CMB) + spell level (This does not effect wands).

It is DC 15 escape artist or CMB to escape as a standard action.

Will+2 vs. spells + 1 guidance: 1d20 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 13
Bergar, coming back from near-death, barely manages to shrug off the effects of the wand. He growls, feeling the effects of the infernal power in his veins healing his wounds.
"Feeling less charitable right now, lass. Better give in while ye can." He steps forward and swings again at the prone sorceress.
mwk warhammer+smite+non-lethal: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 - 4 = 6
Damage+smite: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12
But the taint in his blood makes him lose focus and fumble as the hammer smashes down. Small chips of stone fly in all directions as his fury is wasted on the floor instead of his intended target.

Miklos tries to out an end to the fight. He tries to use the flat if his blade to knock Imrizade out.

attack, NL: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 2 - 4 = 221d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Tem grapples and restrains Irmizade while on the ground.

break grapple: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

She struggles but is unable to break free.

At this point it now just a battle grapples and breaks

Over the next few rounds Tem is able to keep her restrained while Milkos and Bergar assist and cut the rest of the umbilicals, severing her tie to the Gate. Oncs severed Bergar immediately realizes that his divine smite no longer works. She is no longer evil.

Aisha, Poe, Vogue and No. 20113 are able to pry the canister off the gate after a few tries.

As small grey brain falls from the canister and it gets sucked in to the open portal with in the gate. The archway itself cracks as the Gateway to Beyond slowly folds into itself with some eldritch geometry that should not be.

Silence once again fills the underhall.

You have sent the evil back to its domain.

"Are- you- you ok, Miss?" No. 201113 will ask Imrizade Blackros, after the brain has been whisked away and evil vanquished.

A few rounds later, after Bergar is feeling himself again...
"I guess they do mean it when they say 'Ye c'n do anythin' if ye put yer brain to it'...eh? Eh?" Laughing to himself at his pun, he approaches Imrizade.
"Ye okay there, now? Sorry 'bout the hits, but we needed t' put an end t' this thing. C'n ye tell us what that "thing" was?"
