[PFS] Crypt of the Everflame (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

Kobolds, round 2

Asterion attacks the kobold in return, but the little scaly buggger ducks to avoid the gladius.
Brayden closes distance.
Mercutio
-----------
Kobolds
Blue
Green (-3)
-----------
Maladash & Nevisial

Botting.

Mercutio joins the others by getting up close with the kobolds.
Pick vs blue: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 81d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
The little lizard dodges.
-------------------
Blue Stabbity, flank: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 2 = 181d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Green (-3) Stabbity: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Blue came close, but both attacks miss Asterion.
-------------------
Maladash & Nevisial

Nevisial comes around behind the blue kobald to flank it and attacks.

Attack includes flanking bonus, I can use it the same round I arrive right?

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Yes.

Quasi-Common: "Hrruh?"
The kobold goes down after Nevisial's strike.

Maladash

Chyrone, can I charge the green one? If yes:

Maladash with a cry rushes to the attack!

Charge: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 181d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

If not - move action and then attack 16 with the same damage

Yes you can.

Maladash charges and takes down green.

Combat over!

Brayden peers around with a half-frown, somewhat annoyed that he did not get to land a blow -- yet again -- on the minions.

"Well done, half-orc! Let's get back to Uori now," Brayden suggests to the party, sheathing his longsword again. "More importantly," he continues, suddenly remembering the fragile guide they had left behind, "What of Janira?"

^
Coming from the south.

Is the voice recognizable? :p

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Yes, it's your friendly halfling guide.

Asterin uses cure light wounds wand on himself

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

and again

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

As there's no objection, let's get you back to Uori.

When you return, you see Uori make some slow praying motions with his hands, before lowering them beneath the water again.

Perception?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Totally oblivious to you.

Knowing Uori wouldn't be able to hear the party, Brayden once again gently interrupts Uori by poking his shoulder with his finger. We did clear these caves for him, he can't possibly get mad at us for interrupting him now.

"We've managed to dispatch the kobolds, elder. Now, what can you tell us?"

"You have cleared everything?"

Well....not everything, but he doesn't know yet.

"Very well.
Aside from what i have told you of this place's history, it seems the carvings represent homages, paying respects to, the flawed Aroden. One of my people once saw a scruffy looking wanderer do some sort of ritual, related to what the carving depicts."

Despite his calm demeanor, his next words are serious in sound.
"Please desecrate not this site by performing rituals to the flawed dead one. His time here is past due."

He points to something underneath his folded cloak.
"As an appreciation for your troubles of clearing the caves, there is a wand, you can have it."

He'll tell what it is if none identify it.

Nevisial takes careful notes of all the things Uori says.

The flawed dead one? To whom are you referring?

Nevisial comes into view, as he needs to see her to respond.

"Aroden, the dead flawed god of humans.
The wanderer believed he'd receive a temporary blessing."

Ah, yes, that would make sense given what is known of Aroden. Do you know why this wanderer believed he had received a blessing? Where there any latent magical effects that acivated when he performed his ritual? Can you describe what actions he took in performing the ritual? If this shrine is no longer Aroden's to what deity is it now conserated?

Nevisial scribbles.

Uori frowns.

"I do not know, i could speculate he was a pilgrim to Aroden's spiritual legacy. As for lingering magical effects, i saw no proof of it, nor do i wish to have anything to do with that."

.......
"I did not see what actions he performed. From the brief telling, the wanderer acted upon the carving's symbolism.
Last, it is not dedicated to any particular deity, to my knowledge."

Spellcraft: 1d20 ⇒ 2
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

After listening intently, Brayden examines the wand and unsuccessfully struggles to get an idea of what magic it contains.

"This wanderer... What more can you tell us about him? Was his appearance similar to your own?" Brayden pauses and thinks back to what Janira had told them. "And what did he do after this ritual? Simply wander away? Was he a hostile creature?"

sense motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Nevisial checks her notes and double checks to make sure that she included all of the relief carvings in her sketches. Then she closes her journal and addresses Uori:

Thank you for what you have told us about this place. We are grateful. Thank you for the gift of the wand as well. We will leave you in peace now.

To Brayden: "The wanderer was otherwise not of worth mentioning.
Human, traveling gear. It could be an explorer, a drifter....i do not care."

To Nevisial: "Hm-hm, good day to you as well."

Nevisial looks around at the others. "We should hurry on to find Janira. It has been some time now and she hasn't joined us."

She has one last question for Uori. "What is the quickest way to to the surface from here?"

Uori points the way you came in.

"That is the one i know of. Perhaps one of the other tunnels leads outside if explored, but i cannot say, since i have not ventured there."

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 voices roll I missed earlier

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

"Well which do we pick then people, which can we hear her voice from.. that area" pointing to the south

It's all some kind of crazy story. We go into the caves, fleeing from a sudden Minotaur, chop some undead on the instructions of a strange old man that prays is not clear who, and now just learn that then worship a dead God. Harrr! I see in this the hand of Chaos!! With each such a crazy step nearer the moment when the Abyss mercifully open it's doors for us.

Maladash laughs loudly. His laughter spread in all directions and walks in the recesses of the cave.

Okay, if we're done with this, go ahead, go for the next part of the madness!

Really? I didn't see Uori mentioning the gillmen worship him. :)
They dislike the guy. :)

Oops, maybe I just misread something. In any case, Maladash is a little bit insane. 'Talking through him' forces of the Abyss a bit shook the mind of half-orc oracle. 7 wisdom, you know... ))

"Let's head south, then. I fear Janira may be in grave danger after such long combat through these caves. Thank you, elder." Brayden bows to Uori and looks to the rest of the party in agreement.

In any case, Maladash is a little bit insane.

As a character, non PFS, i have a dark tapestry oracle who's escaped a mental institution......the way of talking makes you seem very normal. ;)

Ok, let's get the show on the road.

Something slimey, round 1

Maladash, Mercutio & Asterion
Brayden
-----------
Mold
-----------
Nevisial
-----------
Amoeba

"So. Another pathetic creature in front of us! QaStaHvIS HIv! Ghor loQ!" - Maladash and did not notice that Abyss again began to speak through him.

Move action - favored enemy - 'Amoeba'. Standard - cast resistance on self.

kn dungeoneering+wis to id monsters: 1d20 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 3 = 18

Asterion sees the big slime thing but decides to investigate the thing to the side 5 ft step

He uses studied target and attacks if it's a monster if not he allows more frontline people with weapons before him to the slime..

"This is a slime mold. A fungus like slime that can slowly digest other organisms. It does so by engulfing the victims."

Asterion: Why yes, if you know what it is, you'll now it's hostile.Maladash: to study the amoeba, you'll have to move. I've set you in position to study the amoeba.

Mercutio sees a certain sense of irony, as here is something that would feast on his bodily fluids.
Delay until Nevisial

Brayden
--------------
Mold
--------------
Mercutio & Nevisial
--------------
Amoeba

Nevisial moves to the front and draws a flask of acid from her bandolier.

If I can throw it this round I will move 5' closer and do so. If I can't I will throw it in the next round.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

As this is a creature with the engulf ability, could everyone tell me if they wish to take aoo against it, or make a reflex save to shift to another position, should the mold approach them?
Another position = a square adjacent to the one you're at, or back in line towards an unoccupied square.

Nevisial will shift to another position if approached by the mold.

That is if I have a place I can move to?

Clarification: to evade the engulf, you'll need to roll a DC 14 reflex save, upon which to move to the nearest unoccupied square of your choosing.

I'll take an AoO against it.

Brayden moves in behind the amoeba, giving the others an opportunity to flank it.

With Brayden moving around to set up a flank, something stirs.
-------------
The mold narrows, and the disgusting mass creeps towards Nevisial and Maladash.
As Maladash didn't post it, i'll go with a reflex vs engulf.
Reflex Nevisial DC 14: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Aoo Asterion, studied: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11Dmg, studied: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5
Asterion hurts it for 5.
Reflex Maladash DC 14: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Nevisial evades the mold, quickly jumping aside.
Maladash isn't so lucky however, as the icky green slime covers him.
He takes 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 dmg, becomes pinned and must make a DC 16 fort save vs disease.
You can hold your breath for 2x your con score in rounds, if you do nothing. Every time you take an action, you lose 1 rounds worth.
---------------------
Mercutio & Nevisial
---------------------
Amoeba

Nevisial draws her rapier and stabs at the disgusting mess.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

was she able to throw the acid from before and if so did it do any damage?

DaHjaj jIH Hegh batlh! - coming from amoebas voice of Maladash. Who would still know what he says...

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Cool.

Let's say I quaffed that barkskin potion on the way here, because I certainly would have if the action here had been REGISTERING....

Mercutio has been in a bit of a fugue state for a while (who was that fallen kindred? Does he have some responsibility to him?), but finally snaps to when he notices the clear and present danger to his suit.

heavy pick: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

To Nevisial: moving to the front, that means 1 square to the right.
That's a 5ft step and up close ranged attack.
To Maladash: the creature is a mold (ooze), the amoeba is the south thing. ;)

Mercutio hits the mold, nearly penetrating it to hit Maladash.
Nevisial throws a vial of acid, though this provokes from the mold.
Aoo slam: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9Bump + disease: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
It misses her, thankfully, and takes 5 acid dmg from the vial, which then deals 1 splash dmg to Asterion, Mercutio & herself.
--------------
The amoeba makes a slam against Asterion. Bump, flank: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 2 = 21Dmg + acid: 1d3 + 1 + 1d3 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (1) = 5
Grab?: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 2 = 20Constrict: 1d3 + 1 + 1d3 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (2) = 5
Holy hell, that was unexpected.

Amoeba

The cavern begins to resemble the most bizarre mining operation ever as Mercutio continues to pick away at the blob while trying to avoid the outline of the half-orc inside.

heavy pick: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Something slimey, round 2

Mercutio destroys the mold, releasing a gasping Maladash.

Amoeba

Something slimey, round 2

Mercutio destroys the mold, releasing a gasping Maladash.

Remember, kids: You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you CAN'T pick your friend's nose...UNLESS a nose is picking on your friend, then heaven nose you can take your pick!

Maladash pulls out his crossbow and shoot with a terrible roar in bloody amoeba, which is so easily confused with ooze!!

Crossbow Light: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 - 4 = 161d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Maladash aims between Asterion's legs, where he sees a spot of the creature, and hits.
Asterion
Brayden & Nevisial
------------------
Amoeba (-9)

Posting now as I may not be able to later - ignore my attack if it's not needed

Brayden gags and holds his mouth at the sight of the expectorated Maladash, now covered in ooze. "Ugh... I never did have a strong stomach. Hopefully, this next creature is somehow... cleaner?" He collects himself and draws his longsword, bringing it down hard on the amoeba's "head."

Attack (flanking): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
