[PFS_CORE_Aerondor] 00-20 King Xeros of Old Azlant (high tier) (Inactive)

Game Master Aerondor

Logan casts a spell, the figure wrestling with Alvin goes still.
will: 1d20 ⇒ 18
No room to fly overhead though. Red and blue are new arrivals, not the dead ones. Their bodies are still on the floor. It is just easier using fewer colours
@Giovani, I thought your first check was for the plants, feel free to make a second one for the creatures.

Ragnar doesn't think that the blue creature is undead.
AOO: 2d20 ⇒ (15, 8) = 23
damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
grapple: 1d20 ⇒ 11
As he fires the two creatures attack, one gets a quick slash, and tries to grab him but fails (just).

He puts another four arrows into the blue one, and it drops, and then lands another arrow on the black one.

The shadow acts immediately on the appearance of threats against the party and begins to lash out with a silhouette of Godfrey's blade at the new creatures assault the party rear.

Will attempt to touch green as pink appears held.

Creepy Shadow Touch(Party buffs): 1d20 + 10 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 5 = 27
Strength Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Godfrey seems to be a bit pinned in at the moment with the arrival of the ghost. He will rely on the rest of the party to take care of themselves, and trusts that his shadow will held them keep it together. "Beset on all sides, hold steady friends, I shall cleave through their attempts to harm you!

He positively glows with righteous vigor as he begins to swing his holy blade at the ghost.

Gwynnis kicks out at the solid creature next to her, but keeps her eyes and guard on the incorporeal enemy.

Giovanni spins around and cleanly impales his Rapier into [pink].

Godfrey's sword passes through the ghostly figure, seemingly hurting it... a bit.

Ghostly figure - 43 damage

If it is a ghost then sadly I dont think it can be critted unless Godfrey has ghost touch from somewhere.

@Logan, good point. Ahh yes, good point.

Giovanni identifies the creatures as Xill. Multiarmed pirates from the Etheral plane, they propogate their race by implanting seeds in other living creatures which then hatch from inside them. They can access the material and ethereal planes at will and are resistant to magic.

fort vs SB: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Gwynnis launches a quick series of attacks, but they don't hurt the red Xill significantly.

The Green Xill, confused by the melee, doesn't bother trying to intercept Giovanni's attack on his helpless ally.
fort VS CDG: 1d20 ⇒ 14
The pink one drops dead.

As the horrid creature seizes hold of Logan a small amulet in the shape of a silver hare bursts into life, engulfing both of them in soft blue light.

sigh, another 900 gold down the sink, oh well, at least I shouldn't die!

@Logan & GM: Logan, did you want to wait for this to happen? Otherwise, Alvin will direct the Phantasmal Killer at Riddywipple's grappler instead if Logan is free.

EDIT: Alright, Riddy it is.

Alvin tries to save Riddywipple from the grasp of his attacker.

Free Action
He maintains his Invisibility Field.

Standard Action
He casts a Heightened Phantasmal Killer at the Yellow Xill grappling Riddywipple. DC 26 Will save and then DC 26 Fort save or die.
Spell Resistance: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
If Will save is failed but not Fort save: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2) = 11 damage

In a squeaky voice, Riddywipple manages to say "Ah! Help me Uncle Godfrey!"

Move Action
Desperate, Riddywipple produces a Wand of Haste (CL 7) from his backpack. So, he's got a Wand of Haste and Wand of Cure Light Wounds out right now.

Standard Action
He casts Haste on everyone except Alvin (whom he can't see anyway). First charge of that I've used! 9 left to go lol.

HASTE IS UP.

The talisman triggers immediately on the creature succeeding at it's grapple check. Save Riddy.

Logan's action will depend on whether or not the creature grappling Riddy survives.

DC 16 Fort save: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 2 = 20

"Gotta make room."

Ragnar will provoke from black and green as he fires.

Order of attacks will be black then green. If they both go down and there are still shots to take then Ragnar will take a 5ft step towards the door and shoot at red.

Including: Rapid Shot -2 to hit extra attack at full BAB, Deadly Aim -3 to hit/+6 to dmg, Haste +1 to hit 1 extra attack, Inspire Courage +3 to hit and dmg, Good Hope +2 to hit and dmg, Point Blank +1 to hit and dmg, Precise and Improved Precice Shot no penalties for firing, and Manyshot extra arrow on first shot.

Manyshot: 1d20 + 18 - 2 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 18 - 2 - 3 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 2 = 24 for dmg cold iron, piercing, magic: 2d8 + 20 + 6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5, 8) + 20 + 6 + 4 + 2 = 45

Logan's talisman shatters as the Xill grabs hold of him.
Logan can automatically succeed in a grapple attempt to free himself, but it is still his action to do that.

will&Fort: 2d20 ⇒ (2, 19) = 21
The Xill getting up close and personal with Riddy gasps in pain and terror, but grits his teeth and glares at the dragon.

@Ragnar, green was in wrong spot, as he was attacking the shadow, the last creature to attack him due to confusion

As Ragnar draws his bow, the black Xill attacks him, but his wounds slow him down and he misses.
attack: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Ragnar sends a volley of arrows through Black, and then the Green one dropping both.

So remove black and green? Or are those yet more enemies on the map?

Yeap, they have gone. Now removed from the map

Free action, continue being a doorstop ^^.

17 rounds of Performance remaining.

Gwynnis does her best to take down the Xills, landing several blows.

Gwynnis goes to town on the red Xill, one blow - and she's stunned, two blows, reeling, three blows, but still up. The fourth blow is wide, fifth and sixth hammer in. The red one is still up, but covered in blood, surely they can't stay on their feet much longer!

Gwynnis -

Struggling with the grabby arms of the xill Logan relies on his protective magic to secure him. Looking over at Riddy he see's no-one who can help the little dragon. Muttering you better appreciate this... under his breath he digs into his backpack, as ever finding just what he wanted at the top.

He draws out a slender wand of oak, wrapped with vines which somehow still seem to be alive. They gently curl around his wrist as he reaches out and taps Riddy.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 12 + 2 = 23

Sir Godfrey Laughs heartily at the ghosts efforts, for even as its withering touch passes through him it proves as ineffective as his own blows against the undead. Seeing Riddywipple's cry of help answered, he continues to throw the weight of his attention at the spirit.

Hasted full attack on the ghost!

Bah, another wasted crit!

Sir Godfrey continues to take on the ghost. With a final, hasted blow it screams in frustration and vanishes.

The creatures with Logan and Riddywipple in their grips tries to bite him but cannot hold on to do it.

5ft step then hopefully finish off the last 2 Xill.
Red first. And I believe a corner of my square has a line to a corner of yellow's square.

And call in Hugsy.

If yellow is still alive after that Logan will turn to him, be calm, we are not your enemies, look into my eyes and be calm...

Last round of Performance. 16 rounds remaining.

As the combat dies down, Giovanni leans a few inches closer to Gwynnis.

"My Lady, is jy dra parfuum? Jou reuk is positief verfrissende."

The red Xill goes down with arrows through its heart. Logan turns on the charm for the last badly wounded Xill.
will: 1d20 ⇒ 6
1d20 ⇒ 11

The Xill stops attacking... for the moment.

But if anyone else attacks it, it is likely to respond in kind

Logan waves his watery arms vigorously, it's OK everyone, calm down now, we are all friends here, no need for any more violence. I am sure this was all just a terrible misunderstanding...

Hello friend, my name is Logan and we are explorer's, much as I assume your people must be travelling in this fabulous ship!

"Nehh, we're net explorers... We're Hunters." explains the badly damaged Xill.

"Yer friends hurt me. Thenk thee cen petch me up too?"

Why of course my friend, of course, this was all just a terrible misunderstanding after all.

With that Logan draws out a wand and begins gently tapping the xill with it while they chat.

Hunter's you say, that must be an exciting life, especially in this amazing ship, can you tell me any more about it? We are always interested in exciting new discoveries. Perhaps there are more of your people here we could also talk to?

CLW, 3 charges: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 3, 4) + 3 = 15
Diplomacy if needed: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (2) + 28 = 30

"They wouldn't like you." admits the Xill.

"Not unless you want to become host? " it asks hopefully.

Logan looks decidedly uncomfortable, aaah, ummm, maybe that wouldn't be a great idea...

Perhaps we could help each other. I would love to learn more about the layout of this amazing ship and a bit about how it works if you know? Then maybe I can find you suitable hosts, there is an enormous city just beyond the harbour here and many animals for sale there...

Sir Godfrey isn't one capable or fond of subterfuge, but he has the wisdom to keep his big mouth shut while Logan is talking with the creature. He's not particularly opposed to trading animals, though. It seems a reasonable offer and people are just going to eat the animals anyways.

He grunts something and pulls out his wand to begin healing himself with his much abused cure light wounds wand during the conversation while keeping his great sword ready in his other hand.

Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

I'll get someone with that Phantasmal Killer spell one of these days...

Alvin sits quiet at the discourse.

"Oh, that was SOOOO scary! They just came out of nowhere!" Riddywipple laments the battle and looks quite uneasy at the conversation taking place. He perches on Godfrey's shoulder for protection.

Giovanni, torn between paying attention to the Xill and devoting attention to Gwynnis, tries a compromise.

"So 'n vreemde wesens. Moet ons sy naam vra? Ek wonder of dit is manlike, of vroulik is?"

"So we are not killing it? Let me know if you change your mind."

Ragnar loots the bodies while muttering to himself.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 14 + 2 = 18

Gwynnis gifts Giovanni with a small smile, but quickly begins searching the ship. "That is the tilia leaves you are smelling. Perhaps you should try flirting with this xill, to determine its gender?"

Take 10 for 39 Perception.

"Oh the ship is pretty simple" says the Xill showing off to her new friend.

"But animals no good. Xill to be strong, need strong, intelligent hosts. Maybe one of your allies?" she says, looking over them with the eye of a practiced slave trader.

"They are capable, for to destroy my war party... well, the others were obviously lacking."

To stop this going too slowly, I'll let anyone talk with the Xill, on the assumption that Logan has translated your questions.

With the "death" of the ghost, the portal that Giovanni held open reverts to a more standard door.

What language is the Xill speaking in? If it's female, Giovanni will absolutely flirt. I imagine him to be a Pathfinder version of the original James T Kirk.

It was speaking infernal, but now I double check, it can get by in broken common. And yes Giovanni totally gets the female vibe from her. The four arms though... lots of possibilities there if he is into the exotic.

No interest in getting chatty with Xill. I will use 4 charges of my wand of CLW to heal myself.

Riddywipple seems visibly frightened by the turn of events. It's making me laugh, though.

Alvin, however, doesn't seem as worried. He sits mid-air and takes out a book to read.

Aaah, sadly I don't think we can help you very much then. We would like to investigate the rest of the ship. I understand you may have others here and we wouldn't want to start hostilities with them. Could you give us a layout of the place and maybe point out where they are so we can avoid them?

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (2) + 28 = 30
Opposed charisma if needed: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

"Well." says Xill, giving Giovanni a wink.

"The easiest way is to go Etheral. Then you head downwards. That is where the tree and our vine keeper live."

Giovanni locks eyes with the Xill for a moment (how many eyes do they have?) before glancing over at Gwynnis again.

Giovanni, you mindless dog! What are you thinking?? You've gotten yourself into this sort of trouble before! And where did it lead you? If you're ever going to learn your lesson, you may as well learn it now: elvenkind just doesn't want anything to do with you. But this... She is something exotic!

Giovanni makes a show of sheathing his rapier and beaming a smile towards the Xill. He gingerly steps away from Gwynnis and gestures towards one of the Xill's more egregious wounds.

He pantomimes something to the effect of​ "Let me help you" while gently laying a hand on the Xill's thigh.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

He then asks slowly, "What do your people call you? I'm sure it must be a strong name."
