[PFS/DMK/EMS] The Emerald Spire Superdungeon - Table II

Game Master Kludde

Zen'yr casts a rather long incantation, staring at the frontmost demon while she does so.

Ketill fires an arrow, which makes a hissing sound as the arrowhead buries itself into the demon flesh. Kellan enchants Talon. Vayu blasts the demon in the face, but it looks unaffected. Ilya hacks with her cold iron blade, and cuts a deep gash in the neck of the demon, bringing it to its knees.

Redke moves up and eyes the north-most demon. "Asmodeus sends his regards, and Asmodeus tells you to tell your master the land of the living is off limits for your kind."

Slashing Pebbles!: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Attack!: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 3) + 8 = 16

Redke slashes the demon with pebbles, nearly killing the demon as Zen'yr completes her spell, and leaves two demons slumbering on the floor.

Combat over!

"Apparently their temples are less than pure ... we done here?"

Kellan calmly walks up and decapitates each of the demons. "I will not suffer such abominations be left on this plane. Let's get out of here... this place is cursed."

auto-crit: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (4, 5) + 10 = 19

"We still need to investigate that area at the end of the southern hallway. Let's go there"

The party finishes off the two sleeping demons, then moves out of the crypt and into the hallway. Their progress is immediately blocked by three fighters - clearly aasimars - that have moved into the other end of the hallway. Stop right there, interlopers.

know planes untrained: 1d20 ⇒ 13

"Oh thanks the gods! Finally someone with some reason!", exclaims Vayu in an attempt to determine the Aasimar's affiliations. Not knowing if the Aasimar are with or against the cult, Vayu is trying to separate the party from the cult activities while not blatantly opposing what the cult is doing.

He tries to determine their intentions.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Ketill stops and waits for the aasimar's reaction

Dakang has sent us to deal with the threatening interlopers. Why do you defile Korada's most sacred site? the warriors says threateningly.

"Interlopers? But we just learned that everyone here is worshipping a demon lord!! I would think you'd want to interlope in that as well!"

"Can I show you some books from the library? See, they have been altered with"

Showing them the changes in the books if they allow us

"We even cleaned up the garden a little", Vayu offers, "You can see the little spinny symbol now.", he says while making a circular motion with his hand.

Demon lord? What are you talking about? Master Dakang is the purest of leaders, he would not allow demon worship in this place of sanctity!

When Ketill chimes in, the warrior say these are serious allegations. What other proof do you have?

"Ketill, tell them about the marks they put on their faces ... something about the demon lord of suicide?", interjects Vayu.

"Also, we just fought three demons that accosted us in that room over there! How could those demons have been summoned here if all of the monks have the purest of hearts?"

"Indeed, the symbol that the acolytes paint on their own faces. Did you know that that symbol is exactly like the symbol Sifkesh, the demon lord of heresy and suicide. Haven't you noticed that those markings look remarkably like stitches?"

That. That is an affront! We cannot tolerate this!

If what you say is true - and you've convinced us that it is - you must drive out the impostor. There is a fountain in the chapel. We can activate it for you. If your faith is pure, the waters will grant a blessing.

We will grant you free passage to his quarters... we serve him no longer!

"Well then, let's go take care of this problem permanently. I will not have people worshipping a demon lord if I can prevent it. Especially if it is without their knowledge. Aasimar friends... do you think that this Dakang is tricking the others here into this false worship, or are they all in on it?"

"My devotion to Sarenrae is burning bright in me!" Ketill stops by the fountain and prays shortly to his deity, that she may burn falsehood and deceit wherever it is found.

Ilya places her temple sword in the water. "Irori, please lend me your strength."

After taking her sword out, Ilya gets another idea. She places her arms in the water, saying another prayer.

Putting my legs in is probably going a bit too far... Yeah, definitely.

Unarmed strikes are treated as light weapons, and bless doesn't state manufactured weapons are required. So it should work! :)

Vayu submerges his ammunition in the water, "By Abadar I anoint this metal so it can cleanse this place!"

I think it's ammunition instead of weapon. I suppose he does his regular rounds, not the paper catridges. He will submerge all his regular, cold iron, silver bullet, and dragon pistol shot

Not being sure though, he dips both his pistols and reloads them.

Do you want to take any special approach to Dakang's chambers (area A14)?

"Do you really think that you should submerge your weaponry in the fountain? I would say a devotion to your god would suffice."

Just to be sure Ketill splashes a bit of water over his bombs and bow.

"Ilya, shall I use your wand on you? This might get nasty.

UMD: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Before opening the door Ketill drinks his Mutagen and his extract of shield

While I follow no God in particular, any God that is absint cultist worship is good in my book.

Zen'yr will dip her crossbow in the fountain, as well as her longspear.

Zen'yr will touch Ilya on the shoulder and impart a fleeting thought on her psyche.

Using Mirror trick on Ilya

Thoughts on approach anyone.

"We should hit him fast and hard ... focus everything on him. Maybe we won't have to kill the rest if we take him out. It looks like our only way in is through his front door, or from the balcony in the main hall. I don't remember seeing any windows outside for another route."

"Once the fight starts it looks like we could have ... what, fifteen or more of his followers descend upon us. Can anyone disable him via spell in some way? If we could take him down quietly that would do wonders to keep us from fighting the rest."

Vayu casts longstrider on himself, and will cast Bless just before we act.

"Sorry, quiet fighting is not really my style. Can we ask these aasimar's to refuse entrance to the cultists?"

Ketill will also drink his extract of bomber's eye just as the door is opened

I've put everybody in front of the entrance door to Dakang's room. If you want to use the balcony instead, just move your icon.

Opening the door, the party finds the obese leader inside. As if to eliminate any form of doubt, he is surrounded by four zombies, and turns hostile immediately as he sees the group enter. You! he shouts you should not have come here! Feel my wrath! Feel the pain and torment!

Sorry I was a bit slow, Kellan would have also dipped Talon in the water to bless him.

Ooh, I feel all shiny. Do I look all shiny? Seriously, this feels strange.

_________________________

Kellan, seeing zombies to destroy, smiles with a dangerous look in her eyes, then casts shocking grasp, five-foot steps up to the nearest zombie, and swings Talon at it.

OMG, just read the description of bless weapon... AUTOMATIC CRITS!!

Talon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 plus electricity: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 4, 2) = 14

That might miss a zombie, but since it's flat-footed it's possible it'll hit... :-S

"Asmodeus sends his regards." Redke says as he slides over to get a look into the room.

Suprise round action, move to look through the door, Regular Action, zing a pebble at the Cleric of Evil!

Slashing Pebbles!: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Damage!: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 2) + 8 = 13

Bomb, mutagen, PBS, bombers eye: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 24
damage,PBS: 2d6 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3) + 7 + 1 = 13
he is on fire, d6 fire damage each round. Splash 10ft 10 damage, Reflex 17 for half

Ketill lobs an explosive bomb at the obese overlord, excluding his fellow Pathfinders from the blast.

I move forward to get a clear view of the room, while drawing a scroll as I go. When I see the mass amount of bodies in the room, I sigh as I see Kellan standing next to a zombie.

Kellan, forgive me. Your heritage should help.

I read from the scroll, hoping to recite it correctly and not have it blow up in my face. I manage to speak it perfectly and a small ball goes flying towards the back of the room and soon detonates into a small ball if heat and flame, scorching everything in the room.

UMD dc 25 fireball: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

reflex dc 13, targeting very back upper left corner of room. 20 radius cover room and not our room, sorry Kellan: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 1, 2, 1) = 12

Totally fine, only 7 damage for her.

Okay, on the map everybody is still outside of the room, and only Ketill and Ilya have line of sight with Dakang. I've reduced icon size a bit to make the wall a bit more visible. The only way to get sight of the room, currently, is to move into the room. I don't really know what to do with the actions of Kellan, Redke or Zen'yr. Can you please restate how you want to move about?

Ketill opens the fight by throwing a bomb into the room (so much for being quiet), which explodes amidst the bloated man and the zombies surrounding him. The man doesn't seem to be too affected by the fire.

RFX, Orange Zombie: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
RFX, Blue Zombie: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Oh. Damn. Did not notice that wall there at all. Yeah, let's try that again.

Kellan will... wait for her allies to do things, I guess? Will skip her Surprise round action, since she really can't do much with it anyway.

Surprise round:

Ilya enters the room and takes a stance belonging to the dragon style.

Regular round:

Visualizing her hands to be the claws of a tiger, Ilya mixes the tiger and dragon styles. Lightning cracks around Ilya's 'claw' as she attacks the yellow zombie.

Unarmed Slash (Dragon Tiger Style), Elemental Fist: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 Damage, x1.5 Str (Dragon Style): 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 Electricity damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Do we know what is in room 11? Could I use a double move to move towards, open door to 11 so we have line of sight. This all presumes we have gone through 11. Otherwise I wait for a spot to clear up.

Vayu's current move is 55 so ...

Vayu runs out and through the temple room, and onto the balcony. He is trying to pull back the curtain for a shot, he will hold off on pulling it back until next round.

@ Zen'yr: 11 is three different rooms. The door behind Ketill opens into 10x5 sleeping quarters it looks like. We have not been in it yet ... probably a tarrasque in there.

Posted surprise/standard actions

Kellan finds herself unable to act, and loses the element of surprise. Ilya moves into the room with swiftness, but the quickness of the zombie surprises her as she hits only air.

Vayu hides behind the curtain (But please also mind the curved wall that is directly behind the curtain on the west side). Redke move to Ilya's old position and send a number of pebbles flying at the cleric. Zen'yr waits for a spot to clear up.

The priest moves sideways and stays in place at the same time: he surrounds himself with an illusory double. He also casts a spell on himself.

The zombies surround Ilya, and start clawing at her

Slam, Ilya: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Slam, Ilya: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Slam, Ilya: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Kellan will move past her allies and try to somersault through the square taken up by the red zombie, as well as avoid attacks of opportunity by the other zombies.

Acro move through square: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 <- I REALLY hope that beats their CMD

Acro avoid AOOs: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

She will then cast a shocking grasp and deliver it to the now-flanked zombie.

Talon: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 = 30
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 slashing plus electricity: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 6, 1) = 13
crit damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 slashing plus electricity: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 4, 4) = 15

OMG AUTO CRIT HOLY CRAP I"M SO EXCITED RIGHT NOW CAN YOU TELLLLLL?????

Redke zings off another pebble at the evil zombie-lord cleric.

Slashing Pebbles!: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Take out Mirror Images!: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 5) + 8 = 16

Kellan tries to move through the red zombie, but the creature is somehow oddly quick, and blocks her path, slamming the tiefling back. (Sad trumpet)

AoO: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Redke fires off another pebble, which hits the cleric hard. His illusory double is still, unaffected by Redke's direct hit.

1 for cleric: 1d2 ⇒ 1

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! SO SAD RIGHT NOW!!! :'-( Must put points in Acro when we level up.

Vayu is a little startled when he sees the wall ... running down the stairs he is completely surprised to be surrounded by three zombies!

He attempts to tumble through the one blocking the rest of the room.

Looks like one has fired off an AOO already sooo ...

avoid AOO: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
avoid AOO: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Diving past the green zombie

Move through square: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Barreling into the room he turns and fires at Dakang ...

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 = 21
Damage B/P, Point Blank, Up Close: 1d8 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (6) = 8

He reloads ...

Dakang Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
If he doesn't have fire resistance he needs to make a concentration check for ongoing damage to cast that spell

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Bomb, mutagen, PBS, Bombers eye, Soft Cover: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 18
damage,PBS: 2d6 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2) + 7 + 1 = 14
1 = real: 1d2 ⇒ 2

"He is able to climb real good now!"

Ketill throws a bomb at Dakang but hits his body double instead of the enemy. The zombies get another wash of fire over them while his allies are shielded by Ketill's expertise.

10 damage, reflex 17 for half

Does he still get splash damage?

Dakang Fire Damage next turn: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Ilya tries again, swinging another lightning claw at the yellow demon. She'll step five feet north if she takes it down.

Unarmed Slash (Dragon Tiger Style), Elemental Fist: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 Damage, x1.5 Str (Dragon Style): 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 Electricity damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Vayu manages to dodge and evade the zombies, and even manages to squeeze past one. Once he cleared the undead, he turns, takes aim at the cleric, and hits the evil priest full-on with the blast. Unfortunately for Vayu, the shot only eliminated an illusory double.

1 for real: 1d2 ⇒ 2

The fire does not seem to affect the priest, but the next explosion from Ketill's bomb does. Having no illusion to protect him, the explosions a direct hit, and pushes back the cleric. The blast also takes out two of the zombies, opening the path to the cleric.

RFX: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
RFX: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Vayu punches at a zombie, but the creatures is still to quick, and she misses.
