[PFS]#7-07 Trouble in Tamran (Inactive)

Game Master Yiroep

Again, in unison, We will speak again. You must le-e-e-eave us in peace.

Will +2 circumstance: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 2 = 22

Is this normal for forts? Zuri looks around with mild amusement.

Knowledge: History: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Knowledge: Religion (ghosts / ghostly elven undead): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

[dice=History]1d20+8

"We wish to push spirits at rest, though I am not terribly sure you are even ghosts. Your Shining Crusade looks more like the Silver Crusade. Is that makeup?"

[dice=Perception]1d20+1

Skredli has been staring at the floating apparitions and then looks at Sister Morgan. So I should start breaking things?

"No Skredli, these ghosts are quite scary. Let me cast the spell I used to teleport us away from that meeting last night"

bluff: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

begin casting enlarge person, hoping they don't have meaningful ranks in spellcraft

The ghost man green looks at Sister Morgan with scrutiny and says, If a fight is what you wi-i-i-ish then we shall give it to you.

@Sister Morgan I am counting your action as a surprise round, so you can finish your casting in regular rounds as a standard, or I'll just give you the option to forgo your casting in the surprise round if you wish. Unfortunately for you, they do have Spellcraft and one rolled quite high. :p

as we will get to my initiative and I will not have been shot at, I will finish the cast

Oh, how high are the walls?

Yeah, sure...that one...I'll wait for you to finish. Monkey, go right

Delay

Skredli has no idea what she is referring to, but waits...and points to the left when telling Lei to go right.

Seeing they didn't take the bait, she finds a slot to shout in her casting "It's a ghost illusion guys, they are just normal elves!"

Urien begins to sing a Galtan song about the importance of indecision and flexibility in life choices if one hopes to retain one's head, while hoping that Sister Morgan has a better idea about the opponents they are facing than he does.

Standard to begin bardic performance: inspire courage. Move action to draw bow / nock arrow.

Everyone can make a Will Save with a +4 bonus from Sister Morgan shouting out. If you make it, you can open the spoiler below.

@Skredli: Let's say 5 ft., so difficult terrain for a large creature. ;)

will: 1d20 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 4 = 19

Will Save: 1d20 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 1 + 4 = 22

Feng double moves and hides

will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

full speed stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Urien starts singing a confusing but oddly inspiring song about life choices.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Li Feng moves up and hides.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Yellow's Turn
The woman takes a step back, takes out a scroll, and starts using it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sister Morgan's spell finishes! Skreldi is a large half-orc now.

done

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! Zuri starts chanting, while slowly walking forward.

BLESS!!!!

Skredli charges and attacks green, base to base to maintain control.

sword doom: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

damage: 3d6 + 10 ⇒ (6, 1, 3) + 10 = 20

Graaaaarh!

Zuri moves forward and gives a blessing to everyone.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Skredli charges forward and cleaves at the ghostly man. It deeply wounds the man. Oddly, blood comes out of him, and not ectoplasm.

Feng double moves up on the right as instructed and hides ready to surprise the other ghost.

stealth at full speed: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Not liking the look of the scroll and wishing he had Spellcraft so he could have a better idea of how bad the spell is likely to be, Urien moves closer and fires his bow at the ghostly-but-totally-not-an-elf opponent.
As he does so, he continues to inspire - looking pointedly at the bloody ghost as he continues his Galtan song

attack roll with inspire and bless: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 20
shortbow damage with inspire: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Free action - continue to 2nd round of inspire, move action - move 30, standard action - fire composite shortbow at enemy

Li Feng moves up some more, stealthily.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Urien keeps singing and shoots at the lady, trying to interrupt her spellcasting.
Concentration: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
She loses her spell!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Yellow's Turn
Drat!
She casts a spell at Skredli. No visible effect.

I think i am within 30ft of her

Zuri calmly walks forward. With a wicked grin on his face, he begins to mutter in a cursed tongue.

Lets see what is in her head! 1

Oh I want to go too 2

This could be fun 3

Well someone has to stay in the meat bag with...it! 1

Sounds like you volunteer 2

Hahaha 3

With that Zuri's head is two voices fewer. The two quickest voices rush off towards the female elf's mind, searching for a way in.

gift of madness use 1. need a DC 14 Will save. If she fails voices 1 and 2 get into her mind and get up to trouble for 1 round of confusion

will save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Skredli derps for a round.

Zuri tries to confuse the woman.
Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
She remains sane.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

@Skredli - You made the DC. You can act normally. XD

damage: 3d6 + 10 ⇒ (6, 5, 4) + 10 = 25

Yeeeeeeesh

Skredli looks at the trap door

Man, I didn't think I would fit in there before...but now...

Skredli chops the elf in half. You all (who haven't already) eventually find out they are real elves, not ghost elves. It was an illusion.

No survivors!

Looking around the ruins, from here it is apparent that there is much activity in the area. You chose the correct fort!

There is a trapdoor in the middle of the ruins.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

zuri has read magic. cant remember if i can use guidance for this, if so my rolls are 1 higher

forgot to say, do them in order you listed. for those i failed, ill guidance who ever else tries

Read magic auto-gets the scrolls. Gonna give Potion #2 to ya since it's the same as 1.

• Potion 1 - Cure Light Wounds
• Potion 2 - Cure Light Wounds
• Wand 1 - Unidentified
• Wand 2 - Wand of Magic Missile (10 charges)
• Scroll 1 - Mage Armor
• Scroll 2 - Mage Armor
• Scroll 3 - Summon Monster II

Still not identified: Wand 1

can anyone use the magic missile wand? i have pretty good umd for lvl 1

I walk up and take a cursory glance to note no ability to heal. I then attempt to ID the other wand while having obvious signs of sadness and anger at their pointless stand.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

I am at a +7 but either way I have more to do, you take it.

I attempt to use a scroll of Mage Armor as I haven't cast it yet.

UMD: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Liam, step away

Seeing an inability to operate the first scroll she moves to the second

UMD: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
UMD: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

I glitter.

Skredli, lead us on. I will follow you into the darkness and stop the oppression of this false idol!

Can someone take a look at the hatch? I'm a bit big to fit.

Various people check out the hatch. It doesn't seem there is any trap on it. Upon opening the trapdoor, there is a stone staircase leading down.

Skredli is not going to have a good time down there enlarged (5 ft. corridor time), so I would suggest waiting for that to expire.

Map Updated!

You head down the staircase. You find yourself in a small room. There is what looks to be a collapsed portion to the west, and there is an in-tact archway to the south. From where you are, you can see that the next room to the south has also partially collapsed.

Unless otherwise noted, these areas are well lit and the floors and walls are dirt.

can i get a hit of the other mage armor?

not sure what hte roll is for umd a scroll

umd: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 +1 if i can guidance before hand to use the other scroll of mage armor, if no one has an issue with me using it.

also, was the other wand identified?

Woops. I erased that part of my post for some reason.

Wand 1: Wand of Unseen Servent (10 charges)

You got the UMD. It's DC 21 for a CL 1 scroll.

As the bodies are looted, Urien looks thoughtful.
I wonder what the mirrors were for - signalling ... seeing around corners... maybe adjusting their makeup for their disguises, I guess...
He glances around idly while waiting for Skredli to reduce back to normal size, making sure that there's nothing in sight-line that may be trying to signal the now-deceased elves.

lol @ step away, but why did you UMD a scroll of a 1st level spell that's on your spell list? :D

go for it on the mage armor scroll. I'm going to snag a mirror, 2 alchemist fire, and one of the potions of clw if no one objects. Urien has no source of healing yet, himself. Would recommend the witch & oracle snag the two spell component pouches as back-ups in case there's something here that tries to sunder or steal components of casters.

----------------------------------------------------

Once they have descended, Urien looks over at Skredli and asks quietly
Do your tracking skills indicate anything of interest down here that perhaps we should be aware of before going further?

Zuri opens the second scroll of mage armor. After a minute of muttering to himself while turning the scroll this way and that, he starts yelling at the scroll.

SLDKadf *glup**buzz** By the power of *glupping sounds* work damn it!

The scroll burns within his hands an a faint shimmer surrounds him. He looks up at the group and grins.

Can this happen before we go down the stairs? missed my window of posting before we went down

Zuri also picks up an extra spell component pouch before handing down the stairs. He straps his long spear to his back somehow, leaving one hand free and the other holding the magic missile wand.

PbP can cause anachronistic inconsistencies, so I'm cool with it. Either way, nothing exciting is happening down here yet anyway.

For simplicity sake we are at a take 10 perception of a 17 and 19 for traps and an 11 for stealth. If there is nothing interesting we can assume we keep moving?

Skredli assumes there should be foot traffic to the door across the way and heads that way, sword out.

One door, one way to go. I hope they are expecting us. I'd hate to not get a good fight from them.

This looks like the sort of place where swarms might attack, Urien muses to himself checking to make sure that the alchemist' fire he just retrieved is available.
Urien begins to follow Skredli, continuing his internal monologue.

Hmmmm... the jinx may also set off a trap, what's the average blast radius of a trap... 10 feet?
knowledge: engineering with no real gm input required: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
probably best to stay back 15 then...
Urien pauses briefly, then begins to follow Skredli at a slight distance.

:D

Indeed. Lead on.
