It's Huge - 15 foot space and reach
Give me three things you want to know about this huge air elemental
Tyrion takes a swing at the elemental, and strikes hard at the force of nature.
What exactly gives this 'extra damage against elementals'?

Can Tess hear the ruckus? Or has a door opened that he might be running out of? If she an hear what's going on, she moves 30' closer to the noise.
Perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
DM Kludde |
Tessara can definitely hear loud noises come from inside the house, and moves closer to the source of the noise. (You can make that a double move if you want to - just move your token on the map)
All doors have been opened, so the sound of battle is readily audible to anyone

Grok will double move to get a look down in the cellar. Hmmm I always thought master was using a metaphor when he talked about grappling the wind.
Kargen Hapspring |
"He's here! Down here!" Kargen calls out to the rest of the group. He ducks down the stairs and spots Halmont down the tunnel. He draws an arrow in an attempt to shoot him. "Stop, Halmut!"
Not sure where the stairs are exactly or if I can actually shoot through/past the elemental. I figure he'll get cover, but a Huge elemental does seem harder to shoot past than a person.
Move to the stairs and partially down. Activate Justice Judgement. Seems appropriate thematically.
Attack (PBS, Judgement, cover): 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 2 - 4 = 20
Damage (PBS): 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Tyrion Wyrmbane |
It is the inquisitors bane ability, so his weapon becomes +2 better and does extra 2d6 dmg. I'd like to know special attacks, weaknesses (if any) and immunities/resistances
DM Kludde |
The elemental completely blocks the room. I'd say it not very logical to assume an arrow can make it through a being made of pure storm. I'll make it an attack at the elemental, instead?
Kargen fires his arrow, aiming for Halmont but hitting the elemental instead.
The party moves closer and arrives just in time to see the elemental come to live and bring the smack down on Tyrion. The dwarf is only taken off-balance by the first attack, but the second blast of air hits him full in the face...
Attack, Slam: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21
Attack, Slam: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 322d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 4) + 7 = 16

This should be interesting.
Grok takes a defensive stance then attempts to tumble in close to the elemental.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
He will then try to grapple the air.
grapple: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
Grok is unable to find any solid part of the creature to grip.
Maybe one is not meant to grapple the air.
Swift action to use snapping turtle style. Adds +1 shield bonus to AC.
Kargen Hapspring |
That's fine. So 10 damage to him from last round.
"Damn thing is blocking my shot!" Kargen fires two arrows this time.
Attack (RS, Judgement, PBS): 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 11
Damage (PBS): 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6
Attack (RS, Judgement, PBS): 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 12
Damage (PBS): 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8
Tyrion Wyrmbane |
"Oef this one hits hard! Abadar give me some added protection mate!"
Tyrion says. Activating judgement protection another +2 ac, total 32 atm
Tyrion then proceeds to give everyone the information he knows about this creature.
He five foot steps to the right and tries another attack, swinging hard with his weapon.
attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
dmg: 1d8 + 11 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 11 + (4, 5) = 24
judgement 1/3 and bane rounds 2/7
Tessara Omelion PFS |
Tess double moves to try to aid her friends next round.
Hailey |
"Hmm..not much I can against a huge elemental.."
Hailey will pray for a little guidance (casting guidance on myself)
"It might be safer for us to stay up here and allow our more...melee capable companions to take care of the problem"
Is there still room for any of us to move down the ladder into the room? It looks kind of full on the map. Also how far down in the cellar? Since the elemental is 15ft high..I assume at least 15 ft..just wondering if it's further down.
Tyrion Wyrmbane |
no worries, next round Tyrion will cast a spell which denies aoo's from the creature so everyone can get down if needed.

DM Kludde |
Grok tries to wrestle the wind, but it proves to be too volatile. Kargen sees two of his arrows fly off in random direction and clatter against the basement wall.
Tyrion continues his assault, and manages to hack at the core of the creature, and somehow hit the storm in the eye.

Following Rufus' blessing, the elemental continues to slam gusts of wind at the staunch dwarf in front of it, delivering two devastating hits.
Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 322d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 5) + 6 = 17
Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 372d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 6 = 11

Tyrion Wyrmbane |
Tyrion looks very bad from all the attacks the elemental dishes out. 44 dmg total
He casts a quick spell which seems to bind the elemental. litany of sloth. No aoos for one round.
"Quickly come down! It can't attack you for a short while! Grok move around in a flanking position so I can take advantage of it! Please, heal my wounds companions, I got his total attention."
Tyrion says as he casts a healing spell on himself.
cure moderate: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (4, 3) + 7 = 14
-Posted with Wayfinder
Grok Earbiter |
Grok nods at Tyrion's plan and moves around to flank the creature.
Counting the squares as double it's still only 40 feet.
Again he tries to get a hold of the wind creature.
Grapple: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 14 + 1 + 2 = 37
He grins as his arms manage to wrap around the wind creature and bid it.
Grappling is technically an attack roll so nat 20 auto succeeds.
"HA! I can grapple the wind! Quickly friends finish him off I am not sure I can hold him."
I do not gain the grappled condition so I still count as flanking.
DM Kludde |
Does size difference matter? I looked it up, couldn't find anything, so I'm guessing no. Still, the creature is huge...
Grok pounces on the elemental, and attempts to wrestle it, grappling the creature

Grok Earbiter |
The creature just has size bonuses to it's CMD because of it's size. Would I have succeeded with a 37 if it wasn't a nat 20? Size also affects certain grapple feats like grab.
Kargen Hapspring |
That's pretty awesome to grapple an air elemental.
Kargen continues to fire arrows at the creature, but they just fly harmlessly off into the wind.
Attack (RS, PBS, Judgement): 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 11
Damage (PBS): 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5
Attack (RS, PBS, Judgement): 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 12
Damage (PBS): 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9
Hailey |
Grabbing hold of an air elemental is one thing, keeping hold of him is another ;)
Hailey after seeing Tyrion take a beat will proudly present her holy symbol and (excluding the elemental) sends out a wave of positive energy which washes over everyone as a nice breeze on a warm sunny day
Channel positive energy: 6d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 6, 3, 3) = 20
Tessara Omelion PFS |
Tessara casts the Misfortune hex on the air elemental, hoping her jinx would allow the others time to defeat it before it broke loose on them.
DC 16 Will save to resist.
Tyrion Wyrmbane |
only 10 dmg remaining, thanks :) Having it in a grapple makes it lose a standard action at least, so no attacks. Also I believe it looses it's dex bonus, which for an air elemental is quite hefty.
DM Kludde |
Hailey's wave of positive energy puts Tyrion back into the fight.
Kargen tries another batch of arrows, which dissipate into the storm, as Tessara jinxes the elemental
Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Rufus shoots from the trapdoor, but his arrow goes wide as he tries to keep his shot clear of the grappling half-orc monk.
The elemental tries to break out from Grok's hold. Surprisingly, strong as the creature is, it fails
Break Out: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28

Tyrion Wyrmbane |
Seeing the tides shift in his favor, Tyrion tosses his shield aside (free action), shifts his judgement to an offensive stance (+3 dmg) takes his sword in two hands and strikes the elemental with all his might.
attack + PA: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28 due to his teamwork feats, Tyrion gets +4 from flanks and adds another 1d6 precision dmg which elementals are immune to
dmg: 1d8 + 18 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 18 + (5, 4) = 28
DM Kludde |
The grappled elemental makes an easy target, and Tyrion takes full advantage of the opportunity by striking with full force. He cuts through the force of nature, which turns out to be one tough cookie.

Wow this thing is strong I'm not sure how much longer I can hold on.
Maintain grapple: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 2 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 14 + 1 + 2 + 5 = 38
If that some how makes it Grok with forcefully pin it against a wall and attempt to stun it. Stunning pin DC 15 or stunned next round
DM Kludde |
Fort: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Rufus's shot goes wide, as the Inquisitor sees Grok pin the elemental to the wall. Violently trashing, the elemental is still very much intent on breaking free.

Since it is pinned it has -4 dex and an additional -4 AC. It can only make verbal or mental actions or attempt to break free, which it has a decent chance of. So definitely no AoOs or attacks this turn. The only reason I am pulling this off is good rolls to be honest.
DM Kludde |
Color me impressed 8^
Kargen Hapspring |
Kargen tries to put an arrow into the elemental again.
Attack (PBS, Judgement): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
Damage (PBS): 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Yeah, getting all those bad rolls out of the way for you Grok.
Hailey |
I think elementals are immune to stun anyway...but way to go Grok ;)
Hailey moves down into the basement and takes a look around (is the man we are supposed to be arresting still around here btw?) and provides a little guidance for Tyrion
(Casting guidance for a +1 competence bonus on a d20 roll within the next minute of Tyrion's choice. EDIT: I wanted to cast it on Grok, but I don't think I can reach him, so changed it to Tyrion)
Tessara Omelion PFS |
As crowded as the basement is, Tess stays up top, knowing she didn't have much that would effect that elemental at the time.
Tyrion Wyrmbane |
He ran into the tunnel. :) I got exp retreat on and can track him with scent so we should be fine.
-Posted with Wayfinder
DM Kludde |
Tessara keeps a safe distance, and Hailey casts a guidance spell as the elemental trashes and writhes under the grip of Grok.
Break Out: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28
How much longer can Grok hold the elemental? He sure seems to be successful for now...

No Bane this time, want to save some rounds and Grok is owning this creature :D

dmg: 1d8 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

Tyrion keeps mashing the creature, and scores another solid hit. Its power in this world seems to be fading, though it is still struggling against the hold of Grok.

I am so sorry my dear Hailey. Dm! Tyrion hits the elemental for 16 in total. That spot is just a little bit better and the elemental cries out in pain, cursing Hailey for her guidance of Tyrion's sword ;)
DM Kludde |
Kargen fires off a single shoot, and with a loud plot, the elemental dematerialises.
Combat over
