[PFS/DMK/YSK] 6-02 Silver Mount Collection (Inactive)

Game Master Kludde

Because of long interaction, Maeglin's invisibility dissapeared and he appared in person. When he heard Castien remarks, he asked Gorazio:

"Please, can you check the doors? Scream loudly if there is something dangerous."

Eidolon noded and moved to look around for hidden trouble.

From Gorazio's inspection, there is nothing behind the locked doors. As the adventurers prepare to make their way up, the two museum clerks leave the building, eager to find the safety of their homes.

The main staircase leads up to a second floor salon. Warm colors and skillful paintings of scenes and landscapes lend an inviting charm to the place. A few small tables and chairs have been up-ended and scattered around the floor. Double-doors to the north are labeled “Hall of Incantation,” while open passageways lead east and west.

Assuming you head up the main stairs - if not, let me know

"I think, we should check those doors first, friends?", he showed passage with many doors.

By the way, I'm assuming you leave Gerva tied up, downstairs. If you want to do anything else, be sure to let me know

Rhanloi will push hard to take the stairs in the secret passage...see previous post. =)

Very well

The 'secret' stairs up lead to a little hallway, another secret door, and then a longer narrow hallway, with several doors on the west side, and a single door on the east side. The doors on the west side all bear name plaques: 'Nigel Aldain', 'Vencen Quil', 'Zenel Kavoos', 'Pendleton Blakros'. Everyone has an office here. The door to the east does not have a name plaque.

"Administrative offices, worth a quick inspection"

Percy opens the door to the first office.

Bones follows along keeping alert for trouble .

Castien stands ready, keeping an eye out for anything of import.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

The first office is the largest one: Nigel Aldain clearly claimed the biggest space for himself. Inside there's a desk, locked drawers, and some piles of paperwork.

There's a bit of a rustling sound coming from the larger space to the south, at the end of the hallway.

After a momentary peruse for anything obvious, manifests, inventories, papers... Percy heads back to investigate the noise.

"That sounds like trouble... we ready my dear fellows?"

Percy advances with his fearless friends!

Rhanloi nocks an arrow and imbues it with a bit of his arcane power, then stands ready on the opposite side of the hall from the door...

Bones moves forward to look around the corner

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Rysalius quickly browses through Nigel's office, wondering of he can find anything of note.
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Rysalius finds a secret drawer in Nigel's office. It contains a collection of letters to an anonymous contact in the elven homeland of Kyonin. Nigel is apparantly negotiating a deal to smuggle out several historical relics. Dangerous business: if this were to be made public, Nigel would certainly be exiled from his homeland. Somebody more power-hungry than Rysalius would surely be able to use these documents as blackmail.

Bones move around and notices two large jungle plants being out of place. Worse still, they move on their own, and have razor-sharp tentacles...

Before Bones realises, the two plants lash their enormously long tentacles his way, though fortunately both only hit his armour.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d4 ⇒ 2
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d4 ⇒ 3

Rysalius steps out of the office and goes straight to the plants, drawing his mithral sword as he does so. Assessing the situation, he starts bellowing a somber tale of chopped trees and withering nature.

Inspire Courage +2 (to hit, weapon damage, saves vs fear & charm)

Hearing the commotion from Nigel's office, Rhanloi quickly moves back to assess the situation. Seeing the others attacking a pair of trees, that seem to be attacking back(?!?!), he draws the arrow and quickly releases it.
[dice=Ranged attack w/ arcane strike]1d20+5+2-4[/dice] (+2 for Courage, -4 for firing into melee)
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

PERCY

Know:Nature 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
"Hmm, what are these?"

Percy them proceeds to drop a ball of fire on the closest one.

Flaming Sphere - DC17 Reflex or take 3d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 1) = 7

DRAGON
The small winged reptile casts a bit of mischief on the plants.
Grease - Reflex DC14 or fall prone.

Rhanloi, Inspire Courage also adds +2 to weapon damage.

Sweet - need all the help I can get rolling a 1 for damage!!

RFX: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

The plant evades the flaming sphere Percy throws at it, but gets hit by Rhanloi's arcane strike.

The little faerie dragon causes chaos by greasing the floor, causing the plants to fall over. Dirt and mud cover the floor everywhere...

Castien, realizing that hitting a prone target can be difficult, advances and fires only a single arrow at the nearest plant creature.

Move action: As indicated on map
Standard action: Attack plant creature
Attack (Composite Longbow (+2 Str), Point Blank Shot, Inspire Courage): 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 18
Damage (Composite Longbow (+2 Str), Point Blank Shot, Inspire Courage): 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 7

Bones steps forward and swings his warhammer, "If I had an Axe, I'll be giving you a trim" warhammer w/bard&prone: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 + 4 = 16 damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 2 = 10

Castien carefuly places his shot, and manages to hit the stem of the sentient plant, just as Bones steps forward, swing his hammer in separates the plant from its bulb with a forceful blow

Maeglin shots one with his crossbow.

Crossbow shot: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 1d6 ⇒ 4

Gorazio moved and hit wounded one with his cold iron spear

Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 = 12

Sorry for being short, mobile only access today

A stray crossbow shot slams into the museum wall. Goarzio moves up and stabs the wriggling plant with his spear. As the plant tries to get up, Gorazio calmly stabs again, this time throughteh plant's bulb, and with a dry cracking sound crushes the core. The weed remains motionless.

AoO, Gorazio: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 241d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8

Combat over

Percy keeps his flaming sphere floating, just in case, whilst the party moves forward to investigate.

6 more rounds duration

Rysalius scans the room, looking for other dangers.
Perception : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Rhanloi will watch the hallway, in case their gardening lesson draws the attention of their intended prey...
perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

"That's was great!" cheered friend Maeglin, "let's keep going and look for other trouble, that my strike us"

Delighted by complement, Gorazio took a lead and head down a hall.

Rysalius looks around in the second-floor salon. Warm colors and skillful paintings of scenes and landscapes lend an inviting charm to this salon. A few small tables and chairs have been up-ended and scattered around the floor. The large space connects to areas to the north and east, and a separate hall labelled 'Hall of Incantation'.

Castien stays close to Rysalius, trying to spy out any potential threats.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Bones pokes at the dead plant, then looks around for where the fellow who was taken over by the silver went to.

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Bones looks around for traces of the silver being, as his eyes strike upon a hidden compartment in one of the display stands. It contains a small pearl, as well as a feather token.

The open door to the hall of incantation reveals a display of magical objects. Spellbook pages depicting nearly two-dozen cantrips have been carefully framed and hung around the room’s perimeter.

To east in another large exhibit hall: a giant reptilian beast can be seen from here, while to the north more display cases can be discerned. The scrape marks on the floor are very faint here, but they seem to point eastward.

Maeglin and Gorazio moved forward, following dwarf and looking around.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Rhanloi casts detect magic and looks about the display room, only to shake his head. "Replicas. Nothing of use here..." he says to himself. He then moves to the north opening and looks through, another arrow nocked and infused with arcane energy.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

This gallery is a collection of unexplained or bizarre curios from the Blakros archive, more akin to a carnival sideshow than a museum collection. Noteworthy exhibits include a colorful folded manual brought back from an empire across the Arcadian Ocean, a pickled gnoll fetus, a series of twelve quartz crystals carved to look like brains supported by frail humanoid bodies, and a clockwork device with no apparent useful function.

Rhanloi notices some kind of portable pressure trap on the floor. He gets the feeling that clockwork device might be active, and is waiting for someone to walk into the trap...

Bones cast detect magic and tries to determine if the feather token is magic and what it does.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

After checking the fether, the cleric follows the tracks east.

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Bones doesn't quite grasp the function of the feather token, and just as he is about to continue east, the robot near Rhanloi decides its had enough and whirrs to life, opens up an eager eye and raises a kind of pipe at Rhanloi

Has the flaming sphere expired yet? Was7 round duration - easy either way :)

Castien hears the whirring of gears and rushes north, firing a single arrow at the thing before it can begin its attack.

Move action: As indicated on map
Standard action: Attack robot (adamantine-blanched arrow)
Attack (Composite Longbow (+2 Str)): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Damage (Composite Longbow (+2 Str)): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The sphere should be good for another two rounds

Castien finds himself well-prepared once more, and manage to pierce the robot's outer armour with his arrow.

...also assuming Percy had been wandering with the group! :p

Percy rolls the ball of fire onto it...

Flaming Sphere - DC17 Reflex or take 3d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 5) = 12

RFX: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

The hovering robot easily manages to dodge the flaming sphere, and aim the strange pipe at Rhanloi. A low, booming sound comes out, but Rhanloi's magical protection (You did have Mage armour active, didn't you?) prevents any harm being done.

Attack, Stun Gun: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Bones of the short leg clan double moves up the hall way to get a view of the troublesome machine, stopping to use the corner for partial cover.

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Rysalius moves forward, adamantine sword in hand, and starts encouraging his companions with a tale of ancient heroics.

Inspire Courage +2

Maeglin moved closer in case any of his friend needs his magical assistance.

"I have nothing that can hurt it", he shouted, "this one shoots"

"But I can break it", screamed Gorazio moving full-speed to a strange device.

"Better break it's shooting pipe", advised gnome.

Cold-iron spear, made by unknown master in dwarven forges in Magnimar, scraped against strange Numerian metal.

Charge and Sunder on weapon.
If it has some melee weapon, it can AoO me first.
CMB: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 2 = 22 DMG: 1d8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 = 12

-2AC because of charge

Yes, cast mage armor outside of museum. Lasts long time!!

Rhanloi fires an arrow at the statue, catching it square in the chest.
Ranged attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 (considered a magic weapon with arcane strike
