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

Game Master Kludde

GM, that natural 20 hits me.

Ketill strikes out with an electrical blade, and nearly ends up frying herself through the water. She feels the electricity tingle as it courses through the crab, but fortunately the crab is the only victim. It immediately disappears into nothingness after the hit.

The water man casts a spell and rains down a glittery mass of particles on the adventurers

Everybody roll a DC 15 will save or be blinded
Will, Vayu: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 Vayu is blinded, so his shots will not happen. Does anybody have an alternative action for him?

Back

Vayu, having just seen where the man was is confident to let loose his two shots. Putting his hand on Ketill for reference he shoots ... One barrel and then the other.

Same rolls
But against normal ac for range
-2 more for range
50% miss chance for blind

Damage on Ilya: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

High is hit: 1d100 ⇒ 45
High is hit: 1d100 ⇒ 46

Vayu levels his pistol in the direction that he last saw the spell caster, but order than the glare he draws from Kellan for firing two pistols next to her ear, his shots have no effect.

To specify that: Will saves for Vayu (failed), Ilya, Redke and Kellan. Ketill and Zen'yr were out of range

Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Ilya mixes the crane style with the dragon style. She charges forward, ignoring the difficult terrain she's in, and throws a punch at the enemy caster.

+1 Dragon Punch!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 Damage (Str x1.5): 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7

Please note that all the water squares are difficult terrain, unless you have a swim speed.

will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Round 1

Zen'yr lowers her crossbow and takes a shot at the enemy.

I would be in the first water square

crossbow: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 4 = 191d8 ⇒ 4

Round 2

Zen'yr will move forward, sloshing as she goes. She once again takes careful aim.

bow: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 7 - 4 = 71d8 ⇒ 4

Will!: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10

Redke shouts out, "I'm Blind! I'M BLIND! HELP ME ASMODEUS!" and stands right there.

Draws a dagger, and hopes that he doesn't have to use it :D

Attack, Precise Shot: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Ketill fires a normal, cold iron arrow at the creature

"I'm also blind, Redke, but you don't hear me crying about it. Zen'yr, do you have a way to remove this blindness from us?"

Ketill laughs out loud "He is only human Kellan, you can't hold him to our standards"

With the Dragon Style I can ignore difficult terrain while charging.

And I now see I forgot to add 2 to my previous attack roll... That'd make for a total of 16.

Total AC 23 till next turn.

"Maybe when you come from darkness, tiefling, it's no big deal. For those of use born in the light, it's shocking." Redke says, reverting to his prior attitude from the surprise of being blinded.

Ilya charges in and punches the undine in the face. Zen'yr fires her crossbow, and shoot her bolt in the shoulder of the water creature. Redke flails wildly and draws a dagger, while Ketill lands an arrow in the summoner as well.

Does Kellan do anything this turn?

Unfortunately, I cannot. Hopefully it doesn't last long, it is only a temporary spell called glitterdust.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

glitterdust?

Yep

"Well, so long as it's temporary." Kellan will take a total defense action, really not having any use without her eyes.

The spell caster steps back and starts casting a long spell.

Note that he gets cover against ranged attack, since Ilya is there.

Perception,hearing: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 I assume she can still probably hear him? LOL
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Hearing the man begin to cast a spell, Kellan will try to identify the spell, and if so will yell it out to her allies.

spell: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Zen'yr will move forward (right next to Calex), and stare at the enemy. Unfortunately the enemy is too far away to tap into its psyche. She points a finger at the enemy.

You are uglier then a troglodyte

DC 17 will save, hideous laughter

Ilya drops the crane style and mixes her dragon style with that of the tiger instead. She steps forward and makes a claw out of her hand, which she then swings at the undine.

+1 Tiger-Dragon's Claw!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 Damage (Str x1.5): 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12

She trips over a pebble and barely manages to stay on her feet.

Vayu moves forward carefully, listening for the spell caster while reloading ...

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

"Fire in the hole!!!

Ranged Touch + Point Blank - Rapid Shot - in melee: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 12
Blind, Low is miss: 1d100 ⇒ 42
Damage, Point Blank: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Ranged Touch + Point Blank - Rapid Shot - in melee: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 11
Blind, Low is miss: 1d100 ⇒ 26
Damage, Point Blank: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

One round passes through Ilya's hair before smashing into the wall near the caster. The second round ricochets off the ceiling splashing harmlessly into the water.

"Did I hit him?! Did I hit him!?"

Will, Cross-species humor: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 4 = 11

Though Ilya fails to hit the summoner, and Vayu has no idea where to shoot, Zen'yr ensure the caster does not compete his spell by sending him into a laughing fit.

Ketill waits until the creature stands up again, knowing that hitting a prone target with cover is beyond his skill.

Readied attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Redke stands there with his dagger out, trembling and hoping nothing attacks him.

Indeed, glitter dust allows a will save at the end of every turn. (Vayu and Kellan can also roll)

Will: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 4 = 14

The spell caster just keeps laughing, causing a bubbly stream of air to rise up from the water.

Guys, he will be laughing for the next 18 seconds or so, feel free to bind and gag him if you wish. Perhaps he can give us information?

"I'll try to tie him up. If it doesn't work I'll just knock him out and try again." Ilya takes her rope from her backpack and proceeds to tie the undine up.

will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Shaking off the blindness Vayu loads both barrels of his double barrel pistol and walks forward ...

"And if that doesn't work maybe we can try lead poisoning ..."

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Kellan shakes the dust out of her eyes. "Redke, my sweet, your blindness will pass, as mine has. Calm down. Perhaps sing yourself a lullaby to rest your nerves. Anything to stop your incessant whining."

Kellan will then pointedly step forward and press her blade right up to the laughing spellcaster's throat. "If he laughs himself right onto my blade, I can't be blamed, correct?"

Talon laughs slightly manaically in her head, eliciting a "shhh." from Kellan.

The summoner is laughing but not helpless. It takes an effort to tie him up, like a grapple/pin

Vayu reloads his pistols and advances, and so does Kellan.

Zen'yr will move forward, just to where her mind can sense her enemies' mind. She will than wait for a few seconds to see how things go.

delay. Ilya, just punch him out cold

Vayu has more actions, so when he sees someone try to bind him, he assists.

Grapple Assist DC 10: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

However, as he attempts to help with the grapple, he fumbles his pistol. It bounces between his hands a few times before he catches it just before it slips underwater ...

"I'll just knock him out, he's moving too much." During the following 18 seconds Ilya will claw away at the undine till she stops moving.

+1 Tiger-Dragon's Claw!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 Damage (Str x1.5): 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13

For the next 2 rounds in which she'll still be laughing:
+1 Tiger-Dragon's Claw!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 Damage (Str x1.5): 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7
+1 Tiger-Dragon's Claw!: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 Damage (Str x1.5): 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

The summoner actually recovers before Ilya gets the chance to knock him out.

[ooc]Redke and Ketill still have an action from this round, then everybody on the next, after which the summoner can act again.

I believe he just gets the second save, and that is all. If he fails on round 2, he laughs for the duration of the spell.

Hideous Laughter

Ok, in that case:

Ilya punches the summoner in the face until no more teeth are there.

Combat over

"Have your eyes returned to you, my dear Redke?"

"I do hope so, I see no seeing eye dogs nearby and I do not want to pretend to be one. Shall we carry on, we probably won't find those wizards here either, but we need to check anyways."

Which route do you want to take?

"Redke, when your vision's back, could you check the enemy's gear? There may be useful items mixed in."

Ilya heads back to the first passage in the hallway. "Let's start at the front?"

From the archway leading to the south, Ilya sees a medium-sized room. The silty water in this flooded room reeks of shellfish. Bones and other refuse are piled up in the southwest corner. Hundreds of toad-sized crabs clamber about the heap, skittering over top of each other.

Ilya moves into the room and examines both the pile in the corner and the room itself.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Redke waits a few minutes, blinks his eyes a few times and shouts, "I CAN SEE!!!"

Walking over to the stuff the evil-blinder-spellcaster dropped, Redke shuffles through it.

"Hmm... I see a few pieces of paper with weird squiggly writing on it... and there's a bottle in here... I looks like it's filled with some liquid... Looks entirely useless to me."

Silly Ilya, Redke doesn't do spells, so how can he tell what scrolls and potions are?? :D

I admit I barely know the kinetecist class and figured he'd know 'cause he does stuff that looks like magic xD

"Ah okay, then it probably is," Ilya replies to Redke.

Kellan bumps Redke out of the way playfully (almost flirty!) with her hip and starts rummaging through the items.

Spellcraft potion: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Spellcraft scroll1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
Spellcraft scroll 2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Spellcraft ring: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

and she rifles through the journal as well.

Redke turns a bright shade of red after Kellan bumps him and mumbles as he makes his way though the water towards Ilya.

Think of Kineticists (in their current form) as a turret. I'm great at standing around in one place and blasting... but that's about it... with some helpful talents :D

The journal contains a detailed account of the summoner's life, and how he got to live to research on this level. He describes two siblings, also summoners, and an 'easy place' filled with water. From his description, it seems as though this level is connected to the plane of water by a network of portals, some flooding in water, some draining it out again.

Ilya moves into the room, but as soon as she steps in she disturbs the crabs, which form into a mass of crawling crustaceans.

Redke moves forward a little bit, sees the pile of crabs, lets out a yelp, and says, "Unless anybody has an Alchemists Fire handy, I'm useless." and heads back to the safe ground.
