[PFS] GM Alias' Cult of the Ebon Destroyers (Inactive)

Game Master Ilmakis

Sweet!

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 8

I don't wear shoes!

Ananta sees a pale, magical light, radiating from the air itself, that shines throughout a pillared hall. A balustraded walkway surrounds the upper floor of the two-story area. Passages lead from either side on both the upper and lower levels, as well as from entranceways at each end of the hall.

No one seems present.

Quarr comes in behind Anata. A sharp whistle emanates from his mouth. "This just got fancy. Should we try this first hallway?"

"This suits Drax, small one," Drax says in answer to Quarr. The big man strides alongside the gnome, glaring up at the second story as if expecting enemies to appear at any second.

"They are probably hiding like the cowards they are! More archers maybe. DRAX DOES NOT FEAR YOU. Come and die on Drax's blade with SOME honor!"

As soon as Quarr and Drax moves in, several figures appears from the shadows !

Drax is the only one able to see them before they are ready to act !

(surprise) Round (bold may act)
Drax
Ennemies

Will update the map in a few hours

Will wait for the map to be updated then :) So I know where they are.

Map updated, the guys "inside" the walls are on the balcony

Realizing a cultist is directly next to him, Drax roars in delighted laughter and sets to work.

"HAHA! YES! NOW YOU COME TO DIE ON MY BLADE! You who are hiding upstairs, I will deal with you soon!"

AC 23 with raging/defensive flurry

You only have one action (move or standard) as it's a surprise round. May be for this round you prefer not to enter rage?

My bad, missed the surprise. Alright, reasonable suggestion, won't enter rage and will just take the first/single attack, which would only be an 18 to hit. The AC will wash the same, no defensive flurry but no rage either.

Drax moves toward the closest ennemy and in one mighty swing almost cut in half the man !

The wounded ennemy take a 5ft. step behind a pillar and draw a potion while his comrades jump to attack Drax and Quarr or moves to be in position to do so.

Quarr flutters up against the curtain and draws out a couple of bombs from his pouch.

Move to move and draw weapon. Move action again to draw second bomb.

Ananta steps forth, wounds appearing upon his flesh as he draws his weapon and strikes at the creature behind Drax.

Drax, heal 5

Fort save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

Drax just belly-laughs at the blunted strike, which heals almost as soon as it begins thanks to Ananta. He wheels on the man between him and Ananta, his rage building.

Starting on white, will 5-ft step and work on red if white drops, starting rage, take off the +2 flank if on red

Konrad strides up to the door and holds his earthbreaker high.

"Fight vith the speed und power of the Posen line added to your own!"

Haste on everyone for 7 turns

Sorry for the delay, my last post was eated by yesterday crash :'(
I will try to update the game as quickly as possible.

Three Dalavei's monk falls under the party's blows ! But their ennemies are numerous and fanatics !

They continue to harass them, hoping to get them out of their temple.

"HAHA! Thank you for this magic speed, Lastwall knight! NOW COWARDS, YOU WILL EACH FEEL DRAX'S BLADES IN YOUR BODIES BRIEFLY BEFORE YOU DIE!"

Laughing in a half-roar, Drax tears into the men around him.

Starting due north with dark-red, will go clockwise around targets if he drops any.

Main hand first attack, +1 ghost touch adamantine kukri: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 14 + 2 + 1 = 23

As Quarr's flesh knits back, so does Ananta's bruise. Unperturbed, he steps forth to lash out against the oppenent with the purple belt.

Smine vs Purple: 1d20 + 14 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 14 - 2 + 2 = 33

The blade digs in deep, finding the fault in his defense with grace and an almost zen-life flow.

Quarr heal 5

I will try to update the game ASAP but goblins continues to eat my post or stop me to post when I could...

Again, sorry for the delay. It seems the forum are better now :)

Hope: 8d20 ⇒ (7, 1, 5, 1, 18, 2, 6, 17) = 57

After of few seconds of fury, most of the defending monks lay dead or bleeding to death. For the sake of PbP I shortened this fight

Round 5 (bold may act)
Drax
Ananta -15HP
Quarr -1HP
Conrad
Ennemies

The two remaining monk flew toward the central corridor.

All the other monks on the map are dead or bleeding only the two on the back are still alive

"COWARDS! Drax roars at the fleeing monks. "Do we go after them? We have the scroll of fly if you will make me fly, Konrad!"

Welcome back. Just double-checking, by 'the monks flew' you mean they are actually flying in air, or is that just 'retreating'? I might have Drax switch to ranged, or he might try to jump if they're under a certain altitude. With haste up he's pretty good at jumping. So are they flying off the ground, and if so, how high?

No, just retreating ;)
My english is sometime a little too "poetic", sorry ^^

Hey, that's what I double-checked! In that case:

Drax realizes his foes are actually still on the ground. Laughing uproariously, the big man gives chase-- he is fleet of foot normally (base move 45'), and with the haste up, he has no trouble reaching the slower of the two monks. He lashes out with a single kukri.

"Running will not save you! You have hunted others like cowards in the dark! Now Drax hunts you!"

Kukri, rage, haste: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 13 + 2 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19

This time, the monk is quicker than Drax and he dodges the blow that could have killed him !

Dalavei be blessed! he says in a quick prayer.

Round 5 (bold may act)
Drax
Ananta -15HP
Quarr -1HP
Conrad
Ennemies

Quarr's wings unfold and he takes to the air after Drax. "Wait for us big guy! They could be leading you into a trap!"

Fly and move.

With haste up and a free charge lane, Konrad can charge to the enemies

"AHA! Save some for me, Drax!"

Konrad bounds down the hallway, charging straight for the retreating foe.

Charge Attack with +1 Adamantine Earthbreaker (haste, symbol of pain): 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 1 - 4 = 23
Damage (lead blades): 3d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 1, 3) + 8 = 14

I've lost my character's icon.

Ananta follows and lays hands on himself.

LoH: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 = 10

Another one fall under Konrad's Earthbreaker.

The last monk continues to flee deeper into the complex.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Perception DC11 to follow the monk by hearing where he goes.

Round 6 (bold may act)
Drax
Ananta -4HP
Quarr -1HP
Conrad
Ennemies

I will update the map tonight (european time)

Flapping his wings Quarr follow the monk with a fiery red bomb in his hand.

Perception: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (18) + 19 = 37

Catching up with the monk he hurls the bomb down on the man.

Explosive Bomb Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 1 - 2 = 26
damage: 5d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1, 6, 5, 5) + 5 + 1 = 25

Per: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 ....lol.

Drax stands, growling at the escape of his prey. "YOUR RUNNING WILL NOT SAVE YOU!"

@Quarr you know that the monk have deflect arrows and can avoid a direct hit.
@Drax & all, your character can follow Quarr

Would the splash still get him though?

@Quarr eventually if they don't make their save (they have evasion)

"If the cowards run, let us stop and proceed like we are smart and not stupid," Drax grunts, coming to a stop and becoming surprisingly calm.

Suggest we regroup, consider hit points, etc. I have a potion of invisibility if we want me, or maybe Quarr, to try and scout?

Quarr stops in midair before slowly floating back to Drax. He has a confused look on his face. "You alright big guy? We could have got him!"

Ananta, hustling behind the faster members of the group, finally catches up. "Doessss anyone need healing? Otherwise, if we mussst press on, I sssstill have ssssome abilitiess, posssssibly enough for one minor fight, but I worry about a major one."

"I think we are alright. Let's move on before they set up another ambush." Quarr suggests.

"I did not wish to leave Ananta behind us," Drax points out, nodding at the snake-man's words. "Also this is tiring work, chasing cowards."

If no one objects I'd spend a minute waiting out post-rage fatigue, but if we want to keep going without that minute, works for me.

I totally agree with Drax

"Ve should be careful. They may be trying to lure us into a trap."

Sounds fine!

After a short rest the Pathfinder are ready to go.

I let you use your wands if needed

Where will they go ? Following the last monk or trying to explore other part of the temple ?

"Let's chase the last one who ran. But be careful. These people like traps and poisons. Because they are cowards," Drax states with grim eagerness.

"Should we follow the monk or go a different route?" Quarr looks up to Drax.

"Perhapsssss there is wisdom in chasssing your opponent while he is hurt. But such wisdom sssshould be tempered by our ssssssight. Anyway, let usss follow him as Draxxxxx wantsss" opines Ananta.

Quarr nods and draws a pair of bombs, following the wounded monk. "So be it."
