[PFS] 1-39: Citidel of Flame (Roving Dachshund) (Inactive)

Game Master Andrew Harasty

Kenza winds up and throws a pair of punches at the priestess, a left hook and a right uppercut (Or kicks her while she's down if Cork's trip is successful).

Kenza uses a stunning fist attempt on her first attack.

Stunning Fist Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 DC 13 to resist
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Attack 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Calling upon the favor of Shelyn, bathing his glaive in holy power. "You get to dance with me witch!"

Swift action to Smite Evil on Hafshi. Bypasses DR and makes my AC 17 her.

Glaive {SMITE EVIL}: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 = 121d10 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

Glaive {SMITE EVIL} GM Re-roll: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 19

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Quon jumps over the lava to get to the beetle "Thank you for summoning food!"

double move

Cork's lash connects, but she too is trained in this trick and deftly stays a foot.

Fort SV: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Kenza hits twice, but Hafshi is able to keep her wits about her.

Korum swings, and with the guidance of Shelyn his glaive at the last moment twists and strikes the evil cult leader, striking her down with righteous vengeance.

She falls down bleeding.

Naseem examines the idol, and determines that removing it from the altar will cut the portal off.

Out of combat

From the portal, the PCs can hear cries of terror, anguish, and the sounds of metal-on-metal combat. Though they can hear Malebolge, the PCs cannot otherwise interact with it. Once the portal closes, the lava quickly dissipates from the temple.

Closing the portal does not entirely halt Moloch’s influence, for his bewitching charms in the obsidian relief could enslave the minds of others and induce them to reopen the portal. To halt the cult completely, the part must destroy the relief, and thereby destroy the smoke spirits contained inside.

Given a few swings, you destroy the relief. When broken, the smoky forms fly out and screech loudly before fading into smoke, never to reappear.

At this point you have successfully twartted the advance of the cult of Moloch

"Well done team! Let's go tell Vulcus that his time here has ended"

His voice painted by true lament, "Wish we coulda save some of the others. Sounds like they were fightin' for their lives on the other side of that portal..."

Looking around at her comrades and seeing everyone is fine, Kenza finally smiles.

I did it. I helped keep them safe. Mother, I hope you're proud of me.

"Yes," she agrees with Quon. "Let us return to Vulcus."

At Korum's words Kenza sobers. "You speak wisely, Korum. But we have done well, if not perfectly. This temple can no longer infect the souls of this land."

"Well done, everyone." Kenza says with solemn pride, nodding at each of her comrades in turn. "Well done."

After spending a few moments clearing out the temple, you head back down and out. When you get the forge, the lava flows there have stopped and Vulcus is already gone. Next to the anvil he was working on, is a finished masterwork spear. Unlike the ones in the armory. this one has no icons of Moloch on it. Just a simple maker's mark at the base of the spear head.

The Citadel starts to cool and returns to it quiet. Waiting for the sands to cover it up again.

Congratulations, I will have CRs out later this weekend

Cheers, hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving, (or good week if you're not American.)

Naseem nods at his comrades as they leave the temple.

Nice job everyone, we all survived. Now lets go collect our pay.

"Great job indeed."

Thanks GM for running!
