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

Game Master Ilmakis

The three pathfinders follows Quarr through the corridors the monk left.

After taking left, and letting behind them two small corridors and a must larger getting to a closed double door the moved into a large, high-ceilinged stone hall. A soft, reed floor fills this hall; a gaping pit centered around a series of small platforms drops into darkness in the room’s middle. Target boards line the walls, and training dummies are spread around the room.

Continual flame spells illuminate the hall’s edges, leaving the middle of the central area in shadow. The walls are smooth stone and rise to the ceiling 70 feet above the hall’s floor. A variety of weapons rest embedded in training dummies or set against the walls. Most are ranged weapons that the monks use for training purposes.

A monk is clearly visible at one edge of the pit.

Round 1 (bold can act)
You
ennemy

I let you put your character on the map, in the corridor.

Quarr delays but a moment. "There is something in the pit! Some shadow figure on top of one of the pillars. He wears dark wrappings and has a scarf over his head. Some gem glints on his forehead it looks like."

Quarr takes to the air Fly 30 feet and lobs one of his bombs at her. A thick green smog chocks the pit of air.

Stink Bomb Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 1 = 27
damage: 5d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6, 2, 4, 1, 4) + 5 + 1 = 23

"Stand down! We don't have to fight."

Nice hit, Quarr

"Eh? where?" Drax grunts, but decides to deal with the hazard he can see first. The big man takes a few steps out into the big room and gestures with one of his kukris at the monk in a taunting 'come hither' gesture.

"Come and die! Stand and fight with honor at your death as you have not while you were alive!"

Readied attack if a foe closes in melee: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25
Damage: 1d4 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

The Pathfinders see an explosion around the center of the pit, near one of the pillar.

@Ananta
@Konrad

Ananta steps into the room and blesses everyone. "In the name of the massster of masssters..."

Moving, casting bless.

Ananta moves inside the room and bless his comrades with Irori's power.

@Konrad

Bless: +1 moral bonus to attack and to will save against fear effect

Konrad pushes forward through his comrades, walking around to melee range with the monk (avoiding AoOs, of course.

Double Move

The monk in front of Konrad begin to throw punches at him.

US: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 4 = 19

But none of his attempt hit the powerful warrior.

At the last time, Quarr is able to see a flaming shuriken comming towards him and dodges it! At the same time everyone is able to see a woman wearing dark gray wrappings and a scarf tied over her hair. A dark gem glints on her forehead, and she bears numerous sharp metal rings at her belt and around her wrists before she disapears again into the shadows of the room!

Stealth: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (19) + 21 = 40

Round 2 (bold can act)
You
Monk
Woman (DC40 perception to know where she is)

Quarr grabs an elixir at his belt and drinks the contents. His eyes turn a milky white as he can now see what cannot be seen.

Drink elixir of see invisibility.

As he sees the woman he calls out to his companions her location. "Forget that fool Drax. Take care of the invisible woman." Quarr points a short hand towards her location as he moves to hover above her. 30 feet in air of course.

Unexpectedly Quarr's elixir doesn't help him see the woman !

she's not invisible.

"I do not see this woman you speak of," Drax says, and sprints to try and stab the cultist before Konrad can TAKE HIS KILL.

Move and single attack, bless: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 13 + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d4 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Fighting defensively the monk dodges Drax's attack!

@Ananta
@Konrad

Ananta slowly trudges up to join his companions. "Quarr. Follow ussssssss."

@Konrad.

Konrad shifts to the left and strikes.

Damage (lead blades): 3d6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 2, 4) + 8 = 15

The monk dodges Konrad's attack and pray Dalavai for his luck!

He continues to fight Konrad on the defensive.

US#1: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 7 - 4 = 23
Damages: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
US#2: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 7 - 4 = 6

Crit Confirm?: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 7 - 4 = 13
Damages: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

His luck seems to continue as one of his punch find its way directly on Konrad's face!

In the shadows of the room, the invisible figure appears again, throwing a flaming shuriken at Quarr before jumping in the shadows again.

+1 flaming bracelet chakram vs Flat-footed Quarr: 1d20 + 18 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (16) + 18 + 1 - 3 = 32
Damages: 1d2 + 6 + 1 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 + 6 + (2) = 17

This time, Quarr is unable to see the flaming shuriken comming at him before the woman disappears into the shadows.

Stealth: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (18) + 21 = 39

Quarr -12HP
Drax
Ananta -10HP
Konrad -6HP
Monk
Woman (DC39 perception to know where she is)

Drax looks to his allies with a feral grin. "Surround him. I will carve his spleen from inside his body then. Then it will be outside his body and we can deal with this woman Quarr says he sees."

@Quarr
@Konrad

Perception: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21

"She seems to be hiding in the shadows!" Quarr calls. He keeps a stink bomb at the ready, waiting for the woman to show herself again.

Damages: 1d2 + 6 + 1 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 + 6 + (2) = 16

But before she could reenter into the shadows Quarr throws a bomb she stops with her free hand as a greenish cloud gets around her as the bomb exploded.

Reflex DC19: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29
Fortitude DC19: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

Again she avoid the effect of Quarr's bomb and she disappears into the shadows again.

Round 3
Quarr -23HP
Drax
Ananta -20HP
Konrad -1HP
Woman (DC40 perception to know where she is)

Drax growls his frustration. "I saw her for a second! Then she was gone again! You are a coward, woman."

He drops his kukris to the ground and draws his sling, slotting a rock into the pocket of the sling. "We can wait like Quarr did until she shows her coward face and then throw things at it."

free action to drop weapons, move action to draw sling, move action to load sling

Perception: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33

Unable to locate the woman Quarr hand shakes from the wounds and he drinks a small bottle of smoking purple gas. The fumes lurch into his mouth and nose as he hunches over in pain. His muscles contort and stretch as his bones realign, forming his body into a more nimble grotesque form.

Drink Mutagen. +4 Dex; +2 AC; -2 Wis; +2 Ref

Konrad calls upon the legacy of his ancestors to charge his bow with psychic energy.

Using Legacy Weapon as a standard action to give his bow +1 and Seeking

As the Pathfinders prepare themself for the confrontation the woman is still hidden to them.

@Ananta

Ananta begins moving back toward Quarr, accepting the wounds of his companion but also laying hands upon himself.

LoH: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 = 11

Quarr heals 5, I take 5 and heal 11.

The vudrani woman gets out of the shadows again, continuing to harass Quarr.

Konrad -1HP
Woman (DC25 perception to know where she is)

@Quarr how do you reach 28 in Flat-footed?

Perception: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21 Haha!

Quarr can't seem to find the woman but holds another noxious bomb at the ready to through near the woman instead of directly at her. "She is a fast one. i will give her that."

Target square near the woman as she appears.

Quarr is ready when the woman will reapear.

@Drax
@Ananta
@Konrad

Wounds heal upon Quarr's flesh as Ananta's welts and bleeds. Stepping up to the gnome, Ananta casts a healing spell before healing himself with a lay of his hands upon himself.

"Everyone ssssshould move closssser."

Cure Light Wounds on Quarr: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Lay on Hands: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 5) + 4 = 11

I take 5 then heal 11, Quarr heals 14

Some of both Ananta and Quarr's wounds disappear under the power of Irori.

@Drax
@Ananta

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Drax growls as he cannot see the woman either. "Yes. We wait. COME OUT, COWARD."

He moves nearer at Ananta's words.

Readied Sling attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Readied sling damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Drax moves closer to Ananta and is ready to throw a stone at the woman once she's not into the shadows.

@Konrad

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

”Come out of hiding, you coward!”

Konrad draws his bow, readying to attack when next the woman appears.

Readied Attack with +1 Seeking Longbow (bless, symbol of pain): 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 - 4 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

sorry, my job take most of my time this week. Will update the game this weekend

Again, before anyone could know where the woman is, she gets out of the shadows, shooting at Quarr !

+1 flaming bracelet chakram vs Flat-footed Quarr: 1d20 + 18 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (5) + 18 + 1 - 3 = 21
Damages: 1d2 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 6 = 14Additionnal fire damages: 1d6 ⇒ 2

But this time, she misses him! But before she could get back into the shadows she's attacked by three of the Pathfinders who all miss it ash she dodges or stops the missiles shoot at her.

Reflex DC19: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21
Fortitude DC19: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

She gets back into the shadows.

Stealth: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (4) + 21 = 25

Round 5
Quarr -24HP
Drax
Ananta -8HP
Konrad -1HP
Woman (DC25 perception to know where she is)

Perception: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (17) + 19 = 36

This time Quarr easily spots the woman. "There she is!" He calls out pointing to her as he grabs several bombs from his bag.

Delay to see where she is in case Drax can charge her or if everyone is shooting i don't want to drop a bunch of stink clouds so they can't see.

Ananta focuses and places himself between Quarr and the figure, which he cannot see for the life of him. DC 25 is 5 points higher than I can reach. Murmuring an incantation to Irori, he place a hand upon the gnome. "Be healed and light her on fire."

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Quarr heals a total of 16, Ananta takes 5.

I've placed the woman on the map (the purple figure). People not making the DC25 to see her, can shoot in her square as if she had total concealment (no targeting spell) thanks to Quarr.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 Yay!

I would like to get adjacent to her and attack but is she at the same vertical height as us, or down on the floor of the pit? If so, how far down is that?

In the interests of trying to keep us moving, Drax will run to attack her, here's an acrobatics roll to jump if it is necessary

leap: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22

Single attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
damage: 1d4 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

Drax draws a non-magical back-up kukri as he sprints to meet the woman. It's cold iron, but just an ordinary blade, really.

Seeing Drax move in Quarr flies in behind the woman as he draws his mace.

"That a way Drax!"

Heavy mace; Flanking: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 2 = 28
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Drax jumps on the same small wooden platform where the woman stands.

He manages to do it without falling 70ft. lower but is unable to hit the woman who dodges his attacks but Quarr changes tactics and manages to retaliate as he hits the woman with his heavy mace !

only two person can manage to stand on a platform

@Konrad
