[PFS/DMK/EMS] The Emerald Spire Superdungeon

Game Master Kludde

Bruce mercilessly hits the last woman in the room, but doesn't manage to subdue her. She react with another draining spell.

Succubus - red (70)

Round 4 Enlarged; Mutated; Hasted; Elysian Bronze
Fellgrim continues his attacks on the red Succubus ...
+1 Bronze Earth Breaker: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32 for Blunt: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 3) + 8 = 13
+1 Bronze Earth Breaker (Hasted): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24 for Blunt: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 3) + 8 = 12
+1 Bronze Earth Breaker (2nd): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 for Blunt: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 3) + 8 = 15

Fellgrim smashes down on the last sister, and it looks like she won't be able to stand much more...

Succubus - red (64)

Thistle sneers at the tantalizing demon woman, flicking his hands in the air as if brushing away crumbs or dust like some inconsequential thing.

"Begone..." he mutters, though he can't hear the sound of his own voice.

Attack, magic & silver morningstar: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Damage, magic and silver: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, been working on the railroad, all the live long day!"

A bit anachronistic, but can't resist. Continuing to pound the succubus.

Chain Breaker Bloodraging Power Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 201d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28Damage: 3d6 + 26 ⇒ (2, 6, 5) + 26 = 393d6 + 26 ⇒ (5, 5, 3) + 26 = 39

Thistle whisper a tentative banishment, but the pounding of Jelani is far more effective. With two heavy blows, he pounds the last sister into the ground.

Combat over!

"So far I have found nothing pleasurable about the pleasure gardens." Bruce says as he uses his wayfinder to cast detect magic and search the room.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 2 + (7) = 28

Bruce then heads south to see what other 'pleasures' there might be in this garden.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (12) + 14 + 2 + (8) = 36

There is a tub filled with water, and a tub filled with sludge. While the tub filled with water looks perfectly comfortable , the sludge-filled tub looks dangerous. It might once have been a good place to go for a mud treatment, but the acidic sludge filling it now might be more to the liking of the demonic kind.

The demons were each wearing a magical necklace, and one of them was wearing a ring.

The cave in the southwest holds a pleasant vision. A starry night sky hides the ceiling of this side cavern. The flowers and vines in this cavern are much less overgrown, and several stone statues are scattered about in random poses. The path continues around a bend in the chamber.

Fellgrim will help search the area and examine the artifacts found ...
Spellcraft DC?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

"I get the feeling we're getting towards the bottom of this place. Seems like whoever built it used the top levels for magical experiments, and these levels were residential. They must have opened a portal to the abyss or something on accident for all these demons to have gotten through. Probably got themselves killed...silly wizards..." Jelani muses.

clw bruce: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
clw bruce: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
clw bruce: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Bruce is full... Up to you if you want to have this be charges off your own wand, just want to make sure we cover our bases...

Thistle makes sure Bruce's abyssal wounds are closed. He nods his head with Jelani's assessment, the hypothesis seeming to be plausible enough.

With only one portion of the cavern left unexplored, Thistle follows the group as they make their way across the psychedelic cavern.

Caranthir raises an eyebrow at Jelani's disparagement of wizards, but otherwise lets it go.

He prepares himself for danger as Bruce explores to the south.

Cast haste on everyone.

Pushing on, Bruce sees that a large part of the next cavern’s southwest corner is a strange enclosure made from transparent crystal. It seems to be a pen or terrarium with carefully arranged ora inside. Several more stone statues nearby seem to be adventurers or explorers with looks of surprise or horror on their faces. Inside the enclosure, a large, reptilian creature glares with terrible, yellow eyes.

I need a DC 15 fort save

fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

not excited about the results of that roll... silk use my reroll here.

fort save reroll: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 whew...

Thistle waves his arms frantically and pulls his smoked goggles over his eyes.

-Posted with Wayfinder

I don't suppose being at the end of the line gives Fellgrim any chance of averting his gaze at Thistle's warning (or upon seeing the statuary)?

"Oh shi.."

Fort: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 + (2) = 12

I really only need the save for Bruce in that position

A brief shriek of alarm is silenced as Bruce stops moving. His otherwise green cloak turns into dull grey as he is turned into statue of himself.

nooo! Thistle screams in silence. With his goggles down, Thistle walks into the room, ready to deal with whatever threat has silenced his friend so they can find a way to deal with the statue of the caped crusader.

Hope everyone has smoked goggles!!! (+8 to saves, negatives to perception. So worth it in times like these)

Seeing Thistle don his googles, Fellgrim does the best he can with what he has ... tying a blindfold over his eyes and using his True Strike elixir before moving into the room.

Through the hazy sight of his googles, Thistle sees the caped crusader, standing still in stone. The large reptilian creature still lurks behind the glass, now fixing his stare on the Nagaji. Fellgrim follows close behind, unable to see what is happening.

Can i have a save for Thistle?

Thistle now has an additional +8 due to the goggles.

fort save: 1d20 + 9 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 8 = 26

Through the dark glasses, the glare of the creature has no effect on Thistle.

Thistle around the room, his vision clouded and distorted by the goggles. His senses waver erratically as his mind tries to deal with both sight and hearing not working properly.

Focusing, he comes up with an idea, albeit a challenging one. He pulls his backpack off his shoulders, flipping a catch and dumping the contents on the ground. Carefully, he advances on the beast with the deadly eyes, looking for an opening to trap is head within the pack, negating it's powerful ability.

assuming this would be a grapple check, probably grapple first then 'pin'. Goggles give the lizard concealment against me, so 20% miss chance.

CMB to grapple: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

miss chance, <20 is miss: 1d100 ⇒ 87

-Posted with Wayfinder

fort save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Caranthir does not succumb to the creature's curse, though he nearly does. He casts a dispel magic spell on Bruce, hoping he can help his companion.

CL check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Thistle moves forward to advance on the glaring reptile. Through his fogged glasses he fails to see the glass barrier between himself, and runs smack into it.

There's no opening

Caranthir moves into view, resisting the gaze of the reptile. He sends of a dispel, but it does little to return Bruce back to life.

"I don't really want to go over there, with my track record...." Jelani says, embarrassed.

[Enlarged] Fellgrim blindly moves forward as much as he can before firing his +1 crossbow using True Strike ...

Acrobatics DC10: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
+1 Lg Crossbow: 1d20 + 12 + 20 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 20 = 49
for Piercing: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Bruce stands as motionless as a statue with a half finished thought in his head.

fort save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Caranthir frowns as his spell does not help Bruce, but draws some arrows and starts sending them toward the creature.

+2 Icy Burst Longbow (rapid shot, deadly aim, manyshot, weapon specialization)(frost + shock dmg): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 182d8 + 23 ⇒ (8, 3) + 23 = 344d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 6, 6) = 15 38 dmg total
+2 Icy Burst Longbow (rapid shot, deadly aim, weapon specialization)(frost + shock dmg): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 181d8 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 142d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11 25 dmg total
+2 Icy Burst Longbow (rapid shot, deadly aim, weapon specialization)(frost + shock dmg): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 281d8 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 152d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7 22 dmg total

Thistle waves his arms, imploring his friends to stop. He bangs on the glass wall that cages off the basilisk, then moves to try and drag the statue out of the room.

Once clear, he grabs some cloth, and ties a blindfold around his friend, Jelani's eyes.

OK, I'll lead Jelani in blindfolded, he can smash the glass while fellgrim and caranthir take the lizard out with bombs and arrows. I'll guard Jelani from attacks with the aid another action, to boost his AC.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Fellgrim shoots his arrow, and the twang of his bow is answered by the scratching of rock. He then hears the familiar sound of Caranthirs bow, which produce a similar sound, but louder and accompanied by more cracking sounds.

In the end, caranthir believes he sees a hole in the crystal wall

Thistle moves back to blindfold a hesitant Jelani.

I'll need a save from anyone near the basilisk who is not blindfolded

Up to you Jelani if you want to go in blindfolded.. :)

I'll go in blindfolded.

"Lead me to the wall buddy, I'll smash it!" Jelani says, accepting the blindfold.

Fellgrim moves a little more forward and drinks a shield elixir, waiting for the glass wall to come down ...

There's already a hole in the wall, so go for it.

Jelani moves in, blindfolded, while Fellgrim consumes an elixir.

Thistle finishes putting the blindfold on Jelani, then places the mans hand on his shoulder. Carefully, the Deaf Nagaji leads the now Blind Barbarian into the room.

Just going to assume that is at least a full round action.

Caranthir, seeing that they will not be able to kill this thing easily, draws his smoked goggles and puts them on.

It says I'm blindfolded, but I don't remember putting one on. I'll use my smoked goggles instead.

@Caranthir: my bad, i thought you were blindfolded

Caranthir puts on his smoked goggles, while the deaf, and mostly blind nagaji leads Jelani in.

The baislisk wastes no time jumping forward and menacing Fellgrim.

Bite, Fellgrim: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 281d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

I'll need a save from anyone with smokey goggles on

fort save, smoked goggles: 1d20 + 11 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 8 = 21

Caranthir feels glad to have his goggles on as the creature looks directly at him. His first shot misses as he adjusts to the goggles, but his other two are closer.

+2 Icy Burst Longbow (rapid shot, deadly aim, manyshot, weapon specialization)(frost + shock dmg): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 182d8 + 23 ⇒ (4, 6) + 23 = 334d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 4, 3) = 13 46 dmg total

miss for conceal, low bad (20%): 1d100 ⇒ 90

reroll shot 1 with elven accuracy (20%): 1d100 ⇒ 1 First shot misses.

Thistle stands close to Jelani, holding his shield out. The two shuffle forward to get closer to the lizard.

Reaching the area, Thistle turns Jelani's body towards the lizard and bangs his shield with his morningstar.

He is probably expecting to swing at the glass. Maybe he will get lucky and squish this lizard...

Aid another to give Jelani a bonus to AC. I can't remember what it is, I will look the rule up when I have some time this afternoon. As long as Jelani attacks the right square, he should have a 50% miss chance, in addition to trying to hit the right AC.

Fellgrim takes a step back and lobs a bomb at where he thinks the basilisk is ...

Bomb: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 and Miss < 50: 1d100 ⇒ 66
for Fire: 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 4, 3, 4) + 5 = 17
Threat: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21 if Confirmed: 4d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 2) + 5 = 15

Jelani strikes out as indicated by Thistle.

Enter normal rage.
Chain Breaker Raging Power Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30Damage: 2d6 + 25 ⇒ (3, 4) + 25 = 32
Miss chance (high good): 1d100 ⇒ 80

Bruce remains motionless still trying to work out that half finished thought.

Forgot my save, sorry!

Fortitude, smoked goggles: 1d20 + 6 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 8 = 25

Between Caranthir and Jelani, the basilisk stands little chance. Two arrow bore themselves into the leathery hide, and a smash of Jelani's earthbreaker extinguishes the evil light in the reptile's eyes.

Combat over

The bloodied corpse of the basilisk is no longer a threat...

Thistle breaths a sigh of relief. Just to make sure everything is safe, he takes the blindfold from Jelani's face and then pulls out a knife. Carefully, he digs out the eyeballs of the lizard and places them into the cloth, and wraps them up. Securing them with some twine, he slides the smoked goggles off of his face and back to his forehead.

That's the second time I've had to use those down here...

He shudders when thinking of what else might cause him to have to use them again.

With the threat eliminated, Thistle goes about searching the room and the cage. There was something shiny he thought he saw...

Now that the basilisk is done, Fellgrim tries to figure out how to help Bruce ...
Knowledge (Nature): 1d20 + 10 + 1d6 ⇒ (14) + 10 + (1) = 25

Fellgrim remembers that the blood of a freshly killed basilisk can return stone to flesh. That's how they digest their pray, after all.

Thistle looks around, now without goggles, and sees that the shiny, shimmering thing he saw has now been crushed - it was a large wall of crystal.

Bruce is still eagerly waiting to finish a thought.

Looking for some object that would release Bruce from his stone prison, Thistle grimaces at his ignorance when he sees Fellgrim starting to harvest the lizard's blood. Moving to help, he grabs one of the dead beasts arms and drags the body over to the statue of Bruce.

The process of smearing the blood is disgusting and painstaking, but in short order, the statue is covered.

"iit" Bruce says as he returns to nomal and completes his thought.
