[PFS] Dawn of the Scarlet Sun (Inactive)

Game Master Codanous

Ok, thanks. I am confused who is actually up since Allanen went 10 days ago :(

The wights begin to go all Three Stooges on each other.

Music begins to play.

Controlled wight #1 attacks: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16: hit for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 points of damage.

That wight tries to return the attack against Controlled #1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13: miss.

Controlled wight #2 attacks: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14: miss.

Controlled wight #1 attacks: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16: hit for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 points of damage.

Uncontrolled wight attacks Controlled #1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11: miss.

Controlled wight #2 attacks: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18: hit for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 points of damage.

Controlled wight #1 attacks: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23: hit for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 points of damage.

Uncontrolled wight attacks #1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19: hit for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 points of damage.

Controlled wight #2 attacks: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23: hit for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 points of damage.

Controlled wight #1 attacks: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12: miss.

Uncontrolled wight attacks #1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19: hit for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 points of damage.

Controlled wight #2 attacks: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19: hit for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 points of damage.

...and the uncontrolled wight goes down. Of the two controlled wights, some took some damage from the fight, and the other is unharmed.

Both turn to Necress and await further command.

Map

Let me know how you proceed.

Jirelle heads down the hallway, stopping at the intersections for any danger.

Heading down hallway to D11, but stopping at the cross halls to check for sounds. will roll perception for both halls

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Waki will follow Jirelle down the hallway and stick to the side shadows.
(moving to C12)

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Jirelle and Waki head down the hallway. They see that there are more alcoves on both sides of the room, but at the far south end of the hallway, it turns to the east, goes about 15 feet, and ends in a double door.

Map

Let me know how you proceed.

Jirelle moves to right in front of the doors.G11

Al will cast detect magic and check for any enchantments as he follows.

Jirelle starts moving towards the door, and...

BOOOM!

A very loud sonic boom erupts from the floor as Jirelle moves within fifteen feet of the doors. She takes 2d8 ⇒ (8, 7) = 15 points of sonic damage (Reflex DC 15 for half damage).

Allanen comes down and looks around the corner, and can see the residual magic signature of a Glyph of Warding that Jirelle just set off.

Map

Let me know how you proceed.

reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Waki will quickly move up adjacent to the half elf, to provide assistance if Jirelle was incapacitated.

Necress glares at the wights momentarily, then says "If I am to help you find rest, you will need to help me, first. Take the lead," she says, pointing them toward the front of the line.

"That should have been you taking that damage."

I can have the wights take the front line.

I'm fine with that...can someone zap me with a bandaid stick please? Jirelle has an owie...use hers....

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Proceed should we? Waki asks as the others patch up and approach the doors.

You approach the doors... wights first. Seeing nothing amiss on the doors, Necress orders the wights to open them. Beyond, you see a rather horrifying room.

Whatever purpose this vaulted, brick-lined chamber may have once served, today it is obviously the inner sanctum of some depraved cult. Unnerving, spiky runes have been painted on the brick walls with blood, between which dozens of mutilated birds—gulls, falcons, ravens, and a particularly large number of doves—have been impaled. The foul stink of rotting meat emanates from these grisly trophies. Opposite the only visible entrance, a jagged boulder with a bloodstained cloth draped over it serves as an altar, several fly-covered, foul-smelling lumps of meat siting atop it. The wall just beyond the altar has been painted to depict a single curved white feather sitting in a pool of blood. To either side of this symbol yawn archways set with barred doors, turning the alcoves beyond into prison cells.

Map

You hear a male voice coming from the cell to your right (the lower one on the map): "Help me! They're going to sacrifice me!"

Let me know how you proceed.

Not hearing anything, Necress commands the wights to enter and clear the room of any hostile creatures.

Will have them each make a single move forward please.

Waki points in the direction he hears.

Wait! Someone in the room there is! Help them we must!

Waki will rush in behind the undead, trying to find the source of the male voice.

Jirelle heads in with Waki, looking for the voice's origin.

Arion rushes to the cell. "I won't let these happen to you! Who are they?"

-Posted with Wayfinder

Waki looks around for the voice.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Jirelle looks around also

perc: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

As Necress sends her Wights in to look for hostiles, Jirelle, Waki, and Arion run forward to the source of the voice.

In a cell off to the side of the shrine there's a young man in tattered Sarenite robes. She grabs the bars and speaks to Arion. "Help me! This woman with a gargoyle captured me and brought me here; they're going to sacrifice me! Please, I think there are more cultists about!"

Map

Al will move up to H12 so as to be in the room.

Arion tries to open the cage. "What woman?"

-Posted with Wayfinder

More cultist there are? Where might they be?

Waki will start looking at the lock to open it.

percept: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 if not trappped...
disable device: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Still not hearing anything, Necress moves forward, but seeing her companions interacting with someone, stops and looks around.

Waki continues to work the lock...

As Waki continues working on the lock, he is finding it particularly difficult to crack. The young man hurriedly begs you to work a little faster, responding to Arion "the women and her gargoyle! They captured me this morning, its terrible, I was out for my morning walk!"

He seems quite worried that this rescue is taking so long.

Waki, are you including your +2 from your Masterwork Thieve's tool into your disable device roll? Otherwise with some guidance from your companions, it takes you a couple of minutes of work to pick open the lock.

Finally freed from the bars that held him, he introduces himself to your group, "Its good to be free, as I said, a foul women and her Gargoyle captured me as I walked this morning, I was terrified," Looking around at your heavily armed group, "I'm sure you are all better with a blade than I but if you could spare a weapon, I'd hate to just be deadweight if the cultists come back,"

New Map :)

Sadly, yes, Waki's disable should have the masterwork included

Finally, unlocked it is! Hurry we must.

sense motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Arion has a -2 sense motive, so he will not pass that.

Arion retrieves his spear and hands it to the prisoner.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Holding the spear in his hand he'll step more into the center of the room, examining the spear, admiring its quality, he'll turn to admire the staff. Looking around at the group, he'll meet eyes with Arion, "I must say, you are quite brawny," looking him up and down, "And a holy man of sorts, hunh? Do you by chance worship the Dawnflower?"

Waki carefully watches the man heft the spear, unsure of his motives and question.

Necress, unable to hear anything, still seems to catch on that they have rescued this man. She watches wryly as Arion hands him a weapon, but not hearing his explanation for being here, shrugs and prepares to move forward.

Once again, she sends her undead thralls to take the lead.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34 Yea...

{b[This one is not telling us all. I doubt his story of being taken this morning as we engaged the gargoyle during that time. I would not be so quick to arm him.[/b]

Allanen's comment causes a scowl to slowly flash across the young mans face, and then a smile, twirling the spear!

"You've ruined my fun!"

Allanan, you've a moment to react in the surprise round, a tingle up your spine indicates something is very off about this young man, especially now that he is armed. After you, then the young man takes his turn and then we jump into regular rounds!

I should have done a detect evil first. :-p

-Posted with Wayfinder

Could not find an updated map. Assuming the enemy is adjacent to some of us.

Al moves for a good shot and then shoots a blast of water at the imposter tripping him. The shot was near perfect. We can still have some fun. he says with a rare smile.

Hydraulic Trip: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

It was a surprise round, so you won't be able to move however with a roll like that, you don't need too!

Current Map

A torrent of water emerges from Allanen's hand, knocking the young spear wielding man down! Sputtering, nostrils flared in anger, eyes filled with murder, he'll stab up, thrusting his spear right into Arion's groin.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 11 - 4 = 23

Even with the disadvantaged position he finds himself in, he thrusts the spear deeply in Arion's flesh, swirling around in his inner organs.

I need a Fortitude Save, DC 15 as soon as you can, I sometimes roll saves for the players, but I won't for this one

Necress does not need to hear to know they have been betrayed. With a mental command, the wights both move forward to begin tearing at the prone man, while the oracle herself steps back and casts a spell which envelopes the man's spear in flame.

slam: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 221d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 DC 14 Fort save or energy drain

5' step back, then cast burning disarm, DC 16 Reflex

Jirelle steps forward and tries to skewer the man.

attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 2 = 311d6 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 4 = 11

on phone...cant move token...movibg to get flank from a wight....also setting up a parry/riposte if attacked

[ooc]edit:crit[/dice]

attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 2 = 251d6 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 4 = 8

Al activates his battle spirit bolstering his allies attacks and damage. Battle Spirit +1 (3 rounds/day) (Su) As a standard action, allies in 30 ft gain bonus to attack and damage.

Necress, her minions and Jirelle all leap into action assaulting the man, while Allanen harnesses the spirit of battle to embolden his allies attacks!

The wights move in and batter at his prone form, one striking a hit however his skin seems unnaturally tough for being a "human".

Fort Save vs Energy Drain: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 wow, close one

Reflex Save to drop the Spear: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 While he didn't drop the spear in time, it seems the burning metal had no effect on him!

However the wights do provide enough of an advantage for Jirelle to step in and score a brutal slash on him, however even with that crit, only about half the damage went through.

Piecing together, whatever he really is must have some sort of DR 10 and that he has immunity to fire. He may not actually be human

Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

We are dealing with fiends. If you have cold iron, try it. Al suggests.

Waki will try to move into flanking position to stab at the prone man(?) with his cold-iron Wakizashi (cannot see/move map, will move around if needed)

Betrayer!

mw cold iron wakizashi, bard, flank 2W: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 2 + 3 = 19 vs prone
for dmg,sneak: 1d6 + 1 + 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 1 + (1, 2) + 3 = 13

Waki jumps into action delivering a vicious cut on the young man, his cold iron blade biting deep into the creatures flesh as it cries out into agony.

Smirking and supremely confident, the creature transforms, turning from a young man to a redheaded succubus that looks uncannily like a demonic version of the goddess Sarenrae, she'll then stand up provoking attacks of opportunity from all those gathered around her.

"I hope you're all ready to play, some of you look utterly delicious, I can't wait to taste you all before sacrificing you to Shax!"

Jirelle drops her rspier and draws her cold iron blade. She flicks it at the succubus, aiming for a soft spot.

Waki will expend some of his ki force to quicken his blade for an extra attack.

Foul demon you are! Not so easily defeated are we.

last ki point for extra attack

mw cold iron wakizashi, flank, bard 2W: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 2 + 3 = 28

do you think a minute has passed since I posted this as the undead were wrapping up their fight? If not, then shield would still be active, making Arion's AC a 25

Yeah it took Waki a couple minutes to pop open the lock unfortunately :\ sorry, if its any consolation, I picked you because you have the highest fortitude save in the group :)
