[PFS 8-00] GM Chie's Cosmic Captive [Tier 1-2] (Inactive)

Game Master Korolan

Volyana grits her teeth at the impressive blow while continuing her whip's spin. Rapidly swinging the heavy weight at the end into the brown elemental, she continues her assault.

Flurry defensively on the brown one, AC 19
If the brown one goes down on the first attack, the second will go to the coal thingy

As she brings out her greatsword and positions closer to the two elementals, Atronia starts singing a bolstering song about a great battle of the Freedom War that took place in Nirmathas, her homeland.

Any ally may accept the effect of my Raging Song. Much like a Barbarian's rage, it gives you a +2 morale bonus to Strength and Constitution, and a +1 to Will saves, but it prevents you from casting spells or using concentration and patience. And yes, all those bonuses stack with Trix' spell.

"Ooh...remind me not to stand too close to those fellows," Liora winces after seeing Volyana take a massive blow. Scimitar still in hand, she steps up behind Jyrrar.

"Here, this should help - just keep stabbing with the pointy end and it should work eventually," she grins as she taps him on the shoulder.

Liora moves to her current position and casts Guidance on Jyrrar!

Did Volyana's attack include Trix's bless?

Newt draws his sling and tries to find a shot through the companion's defensive wall.

"These strangers already so eager to defend me. I really appreciate this."

"Be careful, Kivi," he projects to the allied elemental.

Kivi's obsidian eyes lose their gleam and the stones that compose his skin bristle, making him appear more ferocious, as the skald begins to sing.

"Argh! Yes! Ha ha!"

He steps forward and swings the earthbreaker in a heavy, overhanded assault.

Jyrrar gives the sylph a smile as he accepts the blessing from her. While the song from Atronia does indeed warm his blood, he resists the urge to allow the emotions to take control of him. He instead steps forward unleashing a flurry of attacks upon the elemental, using the heel of his palm to strike at it.

5' step to position on map.
Full Attack: Flurry of Blows on the Black Earthman.

Back to our Regularly Scheduled (and Hopefully cooperating!) content!
Also, Don't forget to make Knowledge(planes) checks if you have them!

As Atronia begins to sing, her allies seem bolstered, and the Coal Earthman swivels to face the new threat.

Newt's drawn item is ignored by the Living Earth, as the focus on their present combatants.

Volyana's mighty whip takes huge chunks out of the Stone Warrior, as it crumbles to so much dust.

Healing energy washes over your party from Trix, bolstering you with additional healing!

Kivi, crushing an earthen arm under his mighty stone feet, swings his Earthbreaker hard into the

With Liora's additional edge, Jyrrar crunches his stone fists into the remaining clay warrior, and the earth itself reclaims it's once living flesh.

Landing with the grace of an angel covered in dust and gore, Grythyk says a few words as his eyes stop glowing. The dust and gore cleans itself from his armor and face, as if the filth was never there in the first place. "Welcome to Aucturn's Tear! Sorrina says we need to get into this rock, to learn why it is expelling so much air."
"A rock that is full of Hot Air? Are you sure this rock isn't related to you Grythyk?
Ignoring Gamin, Grythyk continues. "If we are to find out what is going on, we need to get inside. From above, it looks like there are three ways in. The first one is through a bunch of Cold and Ice, to a big frozen city. The next, is through the sunny side of the asteroid, with boiling temperatures and what looks like the remains of some sort of silvery ship wreckage. The last path, is Straight through the center, through the Crater!"
"I'm not sure that Knocking on their front door is the safest plan Grythyk..."

So, where are we going?

Trix walks over to Volyana and taps her twice with the healing wand granted to the party. "There you are dear! Hope you are feeling much better."

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Volyana loops her whip over her shoulder and stretches after being healed.
"Thank you. Hmm, an ancient city would be a sight to see, especially one built by whatever beings live on a comet. The more important question is, are we more prepared for heat, or cold?"

"These potions should last us a whole day, shouldn't then?" Newt offers tentatively, "But I don't know which way would be better."

"If there's time, consider summoning one of our sisters, Newt. Vesi would be better adapted to the cold, and Tuvi would excel on the hot surface." the earth elemental advises his charge as his stones settle down after being riled by the vigorous song.

Re-summoning is a 1-minute ritual.

"Would I be alone, I would prefer to head straight towards the Crater, yet I do understand those who are not used to the presence of so much stone." Jyrrar shrugs with a sidelong glance at Liora. "I am willing to follow with whatever path is decided on, though I am sure it would be the most difficult one."

"We could simply storm ahead, but looking around first would be better. We do not know what we might find deeper in the crater, and taking our time to learn more would serve us well." Volyana grins. "Enthusiasm is good, though."

Paizo server crash ate my post!

Atronia stopped singing and looked to her partners and grants them a big smile. "It seems I am travelling with impressive companions today!"

She then listens to Grythyk, nodding briskly as he speaks of making their way into the Tear. She ponders their choices for a moment. "I'm not particularly suited to any of these contexts more than to another, and I'm not to worried about the temperature extremes with the spell we've been offered, so I'll follow the group. I am quite curious about that frozen city, however."

"If it is the frozen city, give me a moment to prepare," Newt requests of the others. He kneels down on the ground and closes his eyes for a moment, during which time Kivi waves to the others and sinks into the ground, leaving his armor and earthbreaker behind.

Newt opens his eyes and begins to drawn symbols on the ground with his finger and chant in what seems like a mix of elemental languages. A small cloud begins to form over the symbols as the moisture is drawn out of the air and even bubbling up from the ground. There is a pop, and a shimmer, watery creature resembling an octopus appears in front of the young druid.

"Be safe," Kivi says as he begins to melt, "I will see you later."

The water-made octopus surveys the surroundings, sighing when it sees the armor and earthbreaker.

"Kivi and his toys."

She grabs the armor in a pair of tentacles and hands it to Newt. The large hammer, she just drags behind her.

"Oh wow! Newt, how do you do that?" Liora asks with wonder as Kivi melts into the earth and a being of water takes his place. "Hi there! You're Newt's friend? Glad to have you along with us!" she adds with an excited wave.

"Oh, right...the ice city sounds fine to me. Better than roasting or having to hoof it right through the middle of this place!"

"Huh? Oh," Newt responds to Liora, "They do it. I just provide a door. They taught me how to make it when we lived on the island together."

"Friend? Newt, tell her that I am practically your mother."

Vesi raise a tentacle in greeting to the sky druid. "Ilma would love to meet her."

With a grin, Grythyk looks to Gamin, and points off to right.
"Alright, the ice it is! Let's get going! For Iomedae!" As he continues to lead the path seen from his aerial battle, the temperature begins to drop.
Thankfully, the society's protection seems to keep the chill off, as the crunching of boots on stone slowly gives way to steel on ice.

Time Elapsed (In minutes): 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (9, 6) + 10 = 25

The terrain is rough, and it is a bit of slow going, as the terrain slowly gives way from Dirt and Stone to Ice and snow. You quickly find yourselves in the middle of a vast forest of lifeless trees blanketing the landscape. A thin layer of ice coats each branch, tracing dappled shadows in the starlight. A dark, half-fallen spire rises in the distance, while running water splashes nearby alongside the sound of vicious combat.

Ahead, the splashing noises are a group of three watery beings beating and bludgeoning a fourth being.

As the fourth liquid lifeform catches sight of you, it begins to burble and bubble.

K: Planes: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 Special Attacks, please.

"The cold seems to be freezing those water elementals," Newt remarks as they come upon the scene. "But why are they turning on one of their own?"

There is a short pause. "Vesi thinks we should attack them now."

"Newt, the beasts will attack us once they see us, we should strike while their prey is alive to distract them."

Vesi's tentacles undulate, and her watery surface flickers in a pattern of blues and purples.

Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21I guess I get the same information as Newt?

Atronia looks from the elementals, to Newt, to Vesi, and nods. [b]"Any idea what they're saying?"/b]
Sword in hand, she waits for everyone's assent to start singing.
If we get a surprise round, I'll start my Inspired Rage.

Trix holds her ground, waiting to see what the combat-oriented folks decide. "Why would they be attacking one of their own?"

Trix will cast Bless if we get a surprise round.

"People do it all the time. Elementals are people, too, just made of different bricks."

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

"That one there seems like it's trying to talk to us! We should help him; three versus one isn't a fair fight at all!" Liora fumes.

"That is a wise course of action. Should we rescue the fourth from its tormentors then perhaps it will show its gratitude by telling us what lies ahead?" Jyrrar nods as he loads his crossbow.

Volyana raises a hand. "We shouldn't jump in without knowing what's going on. Newt, do you know what they're saying?"

"N-no. I don't. I'm sorry," Newt apologizes, "Vesi seems sure they'll attack us next."

"If Vesi says so and nobody else knows what's going on, I'll trust her. Better get the upper hand by making the first move, if we're to fight them anyway. Let's go."

Atronia discreetly moves to the front of the group, then starts her raging song.

GM, if we did not have a surprise round, just pretend I didn't start the song. Everyone, I hope you don't mind me throwing us into this. I figured we had to move at some point.

I'm fine with it. I wouldn't be able to talk further even if I wild empathied them down.

I'm good with getting something started, especially since I don't think anyone in the group speaks Aquan!

I think that seems fair! Get your surprise round on!

As Atronia begins her song, the beaten and bruised chilled water looks emboldened! If you want it to count as an Ally! With the glimmer and roar from their punching dummy, they turn around to see the source of the song. Suprise Round!

The Grey elemental seems to be rapidly leaking fluid, before slamming a pseudopod at it's attacker. Slam: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17 Slam Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 Landing a solid hit, the water beast burbles in Delight!

Get the Jump on them!

The elemental devilfish slithers forward on her eight tentacles and prepares to bite anything that come near her icy beak.

Oops. Surprise round.

Trix calls upon her strange powers to Bless her companions!

Cast Bless!

After having previous loaded his crossbow, Jyrrar aims and fires at the closest elemental. Once he has fired, he drops the crossbow and prepares to advance.

Surprise action: Fire Crossbow at Red Elemental.
Lt. Crossbow, Bless: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12
Piercing damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Newt unwinds his sling.

"Be careful. They can suck you in like an ocean current."

"Well, we'll just have to sort it out later!" Volyana springs forward and attacks one of the elementals

______

Liora draws her sling for the surprise round!

Surprise round Volyana! Without Quick draw, you wouldn't have your whip out!

As the water elementals begin to turn, they are peppered with bolts and punches, but their bodies seem to absorb the blows like stones skipping across a lake.

Bold may go!

The colors that make up the devilfish's skin begin to churn and swirl like a storm tossed sea as the warrior song takes over. Vesi, ever the hunter, circles around one elemental and darts in to flank one between herself and the gray elemental. She snaps at her prey with her ice-like beak.

Dont forget your +1 bonuses from Bless!

As she keeps singing, Atronia changes the lyrics of the verse that usually describe the enemy so that it now describes the water elementals, mentioning how they have no specific weak points to target and make no difference between front and back.

Atronia draws her sword as she approaches the elementals and swings at the nearest one.

attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 = 20(rage and bless included)
damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 3) + 7 = 13

[ooc]Can someone move me to the left of the green elemental, please? I can't seem to do it on my phone.

Got you moved!

Doh. I'll just use that roll as my first flurry attack for this round then, since I couldn't attack in the surprise round.

Volyana delivers a rapid series of blows to one of the elementals.

Flurry defensively
Second Flurry Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Oh yeah, I guess I'll take the raging song, so AC is 18, and I go to 18 to hit and 8 damage.

The Blue elemental is skipping ahead in the Initiative, to make life easier for everyone!

Atronia, with her greatsword held high, Cleaves the first elemental in half, with a splash that quickly turns to frost on the freezing rock.

Volyana's second blow seems to have a bit of success, but the first strike bounces of their fluid exterior.

Emboldened by it's prior success, the Grey elemental swings again, seeming to boil with rage. Slam: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (14) - 1 = 13 The wet appendage seems to bounce off the the tension holding the other elemental together.

The reddish elemental swings at Volyana, but is distracted by the fluid motion of the whip in her hands.Red Slam: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (17) - 2 = 15
The blue elemental playfully slaps at Vesi, barely even making contact with her tough hide.Blue Slam: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3
