Yellow moves forward and moves a etheral clawed hand towards gronk and saps his life energy from him. Gronk takes 6 point of damage and 2 negative energy levels
Blue presses into Sarscek and saps his energy as well. Sarsczek takes 2 points of damage and 2 negative energy levels.
Round 1
Sarsczek and Lerocnel are up

Roland, Seltyiel, Illuthion and gronk
Round 2

Sarsczek |
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Questions Re Ghost: Whatever she is, is she inherently evil or a creature that could be reasoned with? What special attacks does she have? What is she immune to?
Oh... sh-
"Specters! Ann a ghost of a hoo-man... I fink the jewel cann let me command dem, but it feels evil... Fight off da specters first... dey make me feel bad..."
Edit: Can we see each other on the other platforms? How tall are the barriers between platforms?
GM Z..D.. |
Yes, you can see each other and the ledges are only a couple of feet high
The ghost is definitely evil.As a ghost she has corrupting gaze and has undead traits for immunities.
Sarsczek |
What kind of action to try to command the undead? When you said 'feels darker' is that darker as in 'evil' or darker as in 'deceitful?'
GM Z..D.. |
The jewel itself is trying to command the undead. The player is can not. I am thinking more of an evil vibe since it is trying to control the dead
Sarsczek |
Sarsczek taps the sage jewel a few times on its side. "Bah... stuppid fing isn't working...dey hittin me anny way!"
He steps to the side, and lines up a shot... "MAKE DEM GO AWAY DIS WAY!"
Using the sage jewel to lightning bolt them, catching 3 of the 4.
Lightning Bolt: 7d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 6, 6, 5, 5, 6) = 35 DC 18 reflex for half
With that he glares at the Spectre nearest him (study).
Illuthion Cinderrain |
GM, I made it a point to say that I was teleporting everyone onto the same platform, which would have been the rightmost platform on the map. I'm not sure I understand why we are all on separate platforms.
GM Z..D.. |
Must of skimmed over that when I was catching up. It has been updated.
Sarsczek, you can update you action, since I had to change the position of one of the spectres.
Illuthion Cinderrain |
Awesome, thank you!
Sarsczek |
Since Gronk and I got hit, should Illuthion and I swap places? If that is the case, then I'll do my same action as before, 5 ft step south and lightning bolt, except hitting the 3 specters and missing the ghost.
Lerocnel, PbP Ver. |
Will assist/aid another to Sarsczek's K:Relig. rolls
K:Relig1: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7.
K:Relig2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13.
Lerocnel/Elfmask, upon seeing the incorporeal undead spring up out of nowhere in the rune area, will take out his Scroll of Force Anchor from his Scroll box that was in his Versatile Vest pocket. Taking up his move and standard action, AC reduced to 24; mirror image still active.
GM Z..D.. |
Sarzseck unleashes a bolt of lightning from the sage jewel and it flashes through three of the spectres.
The ghost hovers closer to the group and releases a torrent of ghostly water. The water rushes through the party, not strong enough to know anybody over.
The other spectre loops around and flanks Illution.....
Everyone withing 30 feet of the ghost and looking at it, has to save against its corrupting gaze attack at the start of your turn, DC 16 will save for partial effect. Remember you can close your eyes or avert them if you like, if you are targeting it and willing to take the penalties.
Round 1-Bold may act
Roland, Seltyiel, Illuthion and gronk
Round 2
GM
Sarsczek and Lerocnel
GM
Gronk Bloodstone |
What a dumb call not using that mirror image scroll lol..
Gronk drops his weapon, rages and claws at the yellow spectre.
Gonna burn my ectoplasmic enhancement to make all attacks ghost touch for a round.. From the 2nd mission here I believe.
Bite: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23 Heroism is offsetting the -2 to hit
Claw 1: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31
Claw 2: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
Dam Bite: 1d8 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 20 = 21
Dam Claw 1: 1d8 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Dam Claw 2: 1d8 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21
If it dies 5' step into flanking with Sars..
Gronk's back is to the ghost so unless it targets him he doesn't have to roll right?
If he has to roll Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 re-roll if needed
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Seltyiel* |
Seltyiel channels power into his blade and moves to aid Gronk as he wades into the spectral foes. He calls upon his arcane knowledge and attacks as his blade crackles with electric energy.
Selty will use 1 point form arcane pool to add +2 to weapon f 1 minute. He well take a move action to engage the specters and a standard action and spell combat to cast intensified shocking grasp. Selty will attack the blue specter.
attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
weapon damage plus ISG: 1d6 + 7 + 7d6 ⇒ (6) + 7 + (3, 4, 1, 6, 1, 4, 6) = 38
Will save if necessary: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Roland Garros |
Roland will ignore the ghost for now (assuming he can) and target the more pressing spectres flanking Selty.
Take zhem down quickly!
Roland will unleash a flight of four arrows the yellow spectre first, then blue spectre if yellow fades away.
Rapid shot, improved precise=no cover, switch targets if one drops...
Roland-1 +3 Ad darkwood, PB comp Rapid: 1d20 + 18 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 18 - 2 + 1 = 21

Lerocnel, PbP Ver. |
Will save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18. Just in case it is needed.
Illuthion Cinderrain |
Illuthion allows himself to be grounded, one with the flow of combat as he reaches into the desire for more. More movement. More speed.
Concentration check to cast Haste: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
But his anger clouds his call, and the spell dissipates without any effect.
GM Z..D.. |
1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Only looking directly at a creature with a gaze attack leaves an opponent vulnerable. This is a line in the wording that I always look at when running tables. If you are not focusing on the target, I do not see a reason to roll or do any other things.
Blue=52 damage 10 temp
Gronk manages to destroy the yellow spectre.
Seltyiel and Roland assaults the blue spectre, it still remains after the onslaught.
Blue returns the favor and reaches a claw into seltyiel's soul and pulls it from his body. Selty takes two negative levels and 3 damage
Sarsczek and Lerocnel are up
Sarsczek |
"Graaaah! Nasty things!"
Sarsczek chomps at the specter next to him (blue) and begins to rend through its incorporeal body.
All attacks include -2 for negative levels, -2 for Power attack, +2 for Studied Target, +2 for Flanking.
All damage is magic and silvered and includes 1d6 of acid at the end of the roll. They should all likely do half damage.
Bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
Damage + PA + Study + Acid: 1d6 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 4 + 2 + (5) = 20
Claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Damage + PA + Study + Acid: 1d4 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 4 + 2 + (6) = 20
Claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
Damage + PA + Study + Acid: 1d4 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 4 + 2 + (6) = 18
"Taste yucky too!"
If any of those kill the specter next to me (blue), he'll continue on to red using lunge. Take 2 off of the attack roll for any targeting red.
GM Z..D.. |
1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Sarzcek takes out blue and just misses against red.
Lerocnel is up
Lerocnel, PbP Ver. |
Seeing that the remaining red spectre is hovering precariously close to the now masked elf, Lerocnel/Elfmask will step 5 foot northwest away from it and use his Scroll of Force Anchor upon the untouched Ghost.
Will Save from Ghost: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22.
Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26. +4 BAB, +3 Dex, and +1 PB shot.
Force Damage: 3d4 + 0 ⇒ (4, 2, 3) + 0 = 9. Force Anchor lodged inside of the Ghost's torso for 7 rounds total, preventing it from "phasing" through solid objects and places smaller than its' size. Any occupied square is like difficult terrain for the ghost as well.
Lerocnel/Elfmask will drop the spent scroll in anticipation of his next move. Likely to use his magic missile wand as he is still holding his scrollbox.
GM Z..D.. |
red=8 damage and 10 temp, ghost=9 damage
Elfmask's anchor explodes through the ghost torso, causing it some inconvenience. But catching the ghost gaze, he sees parts of her death, and feels the impact she made with the ground. Elfmask takes 20 damage from the gaze attack, but saves vs the charisma damage.
The red spectre closes in on Illuthion and places its ethereal hand on his head, sapping energy from him. Illuthion takes 2 negative energy level and 1 damage
The ghost release an arrow of acid at elfmask, but is sails wide.
Pathfinders are up....
Seltyiel* |
Seltyiel grimaces and shivers as his life force is drained. He tries to press his attack on the specter before him.
Selty will use spell combat as full round action to attack with scimitar and cast shocking grasp, concentrating attacks on blue specter. Attack includes -2 from level drain. Will be casting spell defensively.
Concentration: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30
scimitar atatck: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
shocking scimitar attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
damage blade: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
damage SG and blade: 1d6 + 7 + 5d6 ⇒ (4) + 7 + (1, 3, 4, 6, 3) = 28
GM Z..D.. |
Blue is no longer up, if you want, you could move and attack red once?
Illuthion Cinderrain |
Would spending a divination focus to grant myself +4 AC negate that attack?
Roland Garros |
Roland steps away from red and turns his attention to the ghost
Roland will unleash a flight of arrows the leader.
Quickdraw, Rapid shot, improved precise=no cover, switch target if one drops

[Ooc] Do we need to save just for looking at it or only if it targets us?.
Will : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Edited: meant ghost but shooting at red is fine too. .
GM Z..D.. |
@illuthion, no
Roland launches multiple arrows at red, hitting their mark, but yet he remains.
Illuthion Cinderrain |
Illuthion, feeling the life drain away from him places his hand upon Sarsczek and focuses.
Congratulations! Your bite is now +1 Ghost Touch.
The power of greed flows through into the Agent's jaw. "Go f!~! that chooch up yo!"
GM Z..D.. |
@roland, need to save if you are targeting it, you saved, but will still takes some of the effect of the gaze. If thats what you want to do?
Gronk Bloodstone |
Looking at the map and reading I'm not sure where the red specter is, but I wish to attack it so full attack if he can, just a bite if he has to move.
"Get outta hear stupid specter!"
Attack Bite: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28
Attack Claw: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

Sarsczek |
Sarsczek smiles and rubs his chin against Illuthion's hand, leaving some mildly caustic drool. "Dat feels funny! I fink I can taste da spectery thing I bit more now."
He turns, assesses the situation, then leaps into action!
Unsure about life of red. Assuming Gronk finished him off. If he did not, apply this attack to red instead, with a +2 bonus to attack and damage for studied combat.
Fort Save: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 - 2 = 12 +2 if Mind Affecting or a Death Affect
CHAWMP, PA, Neg Levels: 1d20 + 10 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 10 - 2 - 2 = 17
Damage, PA, Ghost Touch, +Acid: 1d6 + 4 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 4 + (2) = 14
GM Z..D.. |
Yes, gronk did finish him off.
Between the seltyiel, gronk and roland, the pathfinders finish off the last spectre.
Sarszcek moves to bite the ghost, as he approaches the ghost, he sees visions of a near endless fall, and the bones on his face shift as if he was the one that fell. He still manages to chomp down hard on the ghost. Sarscek takes 2d10 ⇒ (10, 3) = 13 damage and 1d4 ⇒ 1 charisma damage from the ghost's gaze.
The ghost points in the direction of Roland and shouts. His vision begins to fade. Roland, need a DC 15 fort or be blinded.
Pathfinders are up.....Remember if you are targeting the ghost, you will need to make the fort save vs its gaze.
Roland Garros |
Fort : 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29 vs dc15 blind
Roland tries to fight off the ghosts blinding pressure
"Zhe end is near for zhem. Finish zhis one quickly and avoid its eyes ."
Roland will step back and fire.

bleh on those rolls .
Fort, if needed : 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20 vs gaze
GM Z..D.. |
Roland looks at the ghost, visions of a body hitting the ground enter is mind, before his limbs are assaulted by pan.takes 2d10 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7 points of damage from the gaze, saves vs charisma damage[/dice]
Roland manages to block out the pain and releases a few more arrows, causing it to fade from existence.
[ooc]Out of combat
Heal up, I'll move us along tomorrow
Illuthion Cinderrain |
Illuthion looks around and over the edge of the platform. "S%@$. How is everyone?"
Illuthion Cinderrain |
[The half-breed nods. "Anyone got some of that godly swag? Restore my ration??"
Roland Garros |
Nay, as with zhe moving statue of lead, healing of zhe sort we need is beyond my means. I have no scrolls nor potions to restore lost life, just lost blood.
The ranger looks at the state of the party and wonders how much more we can take.
We may have to press forward as turning back could be more deadly. Perhaps we find aid within. Otherwise, my only other option is to send my messenger to request items to aid us.
Roland has a bird feather token - not sure if it could carry a message to town (or how far that is) to bring us potions/scrolls.
Otherwise, finding a place to rest - although that seems tenuous at best.
Sarsczek |
15 dmg and 1 cha dmg on me. Down to 4 Cha! Whoooo! The negative levels hurt to... But I think I can probably deal with them for the rest of the scenario ok.
Sarsczek, seeming even more animalistic than usual, merely grunts and hands his cure wand to Roland.
CLW x3: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 3, 6) + 3 = 17
Sarsczek |
Sarsczek shakes his head back and forth a few times, then turns and hisses at Roland as his wounds heal. After a moment he calms. "Grrrr.... Rolly... Fanks." **SNIFF SNIFF** "My head feel funny. Ghosty taste bad."
He meanders about on the cramped platform, sniffing the ground and looking over the ledges.
"No go back. Amanafis be mad. Sarsczek feel ok."
What sort of feelings is the sage jewel giving now?
As for status, I can handle the 2 negative levels and the 1 Cha damage for at least one more encounter. I'm good to tough it out and push forward. That encounter actually went incredibly well as far as I'm concerned. With 3 specters only landing 4 attacks total, I'd say we got off easy. They are distributed enough that I don't think anyone is incapable of contributing, so go team!
Status from this combat (does not include con/wis damage leftover from first fight):
Sarsczek: -1 Cha, -2 Levels
Gronk: 2 dmg, -2 Levels
Seltyiel: 3 dmg, -2 Levels
Illuthion: 2 dmg, -2 Levels
Elfmask: 20 dmg
Roland: 7 dmg, Save vs Gaze pending
Feel free to burn up my CLW wand to fix people up
Roland Garros |
I agree on all counts with Sarsczek. I have been in party where 3 specters nearly TPK'd us ....twice. Roland had some stat damage from first fight. I thought he was caught up with the last save he rolled .vs ghost gaze though.
"Agreed. Let's press on. Can zhe gem heal or do anything else helpful? ."
Sarsczek |
"Ssssss.... nope. Cannn enenen-ervate... I fink its da opposite of healing. Ann it say it can make sum'n all hee-ro. Dat migh help."
I can use heroism on someone to offset the negative levels. Illuthion and I seem to be the skill monkeys of the group, so I'd suggest one of us. I could also pass the jewel off to Gronk or Roland, but I think even with the negative levels I'm still the knowledge (history) guy as far as eligible recipients are concerned.
Lerocnel, PbP Ver. |
If there is time permitting, Lerocnel/Elfmask would use up two charges from his Infernal Healing wand to cure his damage; if not, he'll go with whatever healing is available.
"Apparently the ghost must've fell to its' demise long ago; I've felt some of the traumatic memories from its' past due to its' gaze... memories of falling."
Taps from his Infernal Healing wand will be made to others upon request; just let me know. ;)
Gronk Bloodstone |
Gronk will use 2 charges from his wand as well to get back to full.
"I don't have anymore heroism scrolls, nor any restoration scrolls."
Sarsczek |
"Da sagey jewel has one hee-ro-sim spell."
Translation: The Sage Jewel has 1 use of heroism in it. I'll probably use that on myself or Illuthion once we move forward.
Roland Garros |
So do we float across and do we unload from the platform, or is there some trick to continuing.
Very good, once we dock on the far side, we will have to keep our eyes open for more undead. We were lucky nobody perished.
Roland scans the far side and platform for any signs of trouble.
perception: 1d20 + 18 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 18 - 1 = 35
Lerocnel, PbP Ver. |
Lerocnel/Elfmask has access to flight if the platform to the other areas are not reachable by foot or climbing.
perception aid another: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10.
