PFS Gameday 3 - DM Rah's Thornkeep (II) - "Part 3 - The Enigma Vaults" (Inactive)

Game Master Kobash

Well insane creatures don't get a save at all. :P

Rufus Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Monster Lore: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Rufus Bow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Rufus withstands the effects of the creatures and calls out to the party. "These are incorporeal undead called allips! Use magic weapons or healing energy!"

He then shoots an arrow down the hall, piercing one of them and causing it to turn his direction with an anguished cry.

In still the confined space, Barley falls to support maneuvers for Oloch.

The allips continue clawing at Thorgrim and Oloch. Oloch avoids another touch, but Thorgrim suffers another Attack that rips through his mind like bad pesh.

Touch on Thorgrim: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Ugh. The one person who can counter their babble and has force spells that do full damage....

"Wow! I should incorporate this into the show...."

"I know it's like some sort of funny riddle that you can't quite find the answer to."

Continues to be fasinated.

2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

For a very long time.

Let's hope at least one of the Smash Brothers is ok....

Those directly being attacked get another save.

Fascinated: A fascinated creature is entranced by a supernatural or spell effect. The creature stands or sits quietly, taking no actions other than to pay attention to the fascinating effect, for as long as the effect lasts. It takes a –4 penalty on skill checks made as reactions, such as Perception checks. Any potential threat, such as a hostile creature approaching, allows the fascinated creature a new saving throw against the fascinating effect. Any obvious threat, such as someone drawing a weapon, casting a spell, or aiming a ranged weapon at the fascinated creature, automatically breaks the effect. A fascinated creature's ally may shake it free of the spell as a standard action.

Barley continues to remain steady behind Oloch.

Aid Another, +1 katana: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Barley, you need to be at melee with your katana to be able to make an aid another check against the allips.

would aid work with a non magic reach weapon? Use kurigama otherwise

-Posted with Wayfinder

Sorry - this one stopped updating for some reason. Ouch, that's bad Wisdom damage on Oloch and Thorgrim.

Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Oloch tries to resist the strange undulations of the form in front of him.

Will Save, Will Damage: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 - 2 = 13

Oloch loses himself in the fascinating work of the two strange creatures before him.

2d4 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

He's fascinated for about half a minute.

Anyone that is directly attacked (whether they are injured or not), can attempt a new save every round.

Will Save: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (13) + 0 = 13
Will Save: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (9) + 0 = 9

Thorgrim is still fascinated by the babbling. It's soothing nature reminds him of the chants of Rovagug...

OK nevermind the Aid for Barley's action. Can Barley step up and move the fascinated ones back? 4 fascinated right now?

Just shake one.

Barley, you can aid another with a non-magic weapon (and a reach weapon, though you'd receive a -4 penalty due to soft cover by attacking from behind your alley). However, it does look like both Thorgrim and Oloch are fascinated, so they won't be attacking anyway...

If you spend a full-round action, you can wake up a fascinated person. It will give them another save against the effect.

Posted last night, before Bold. Didn't stick?

Barley violently shakes Oloch, "No time to go beddy-bye - now come on!"

Rufus shakes Ali out of his fascination as Barley does the same for Oloch.

The allips continue their maddening attack.

Touch on Thorgrim: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Wisdom Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Touch on Oloch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Wisdom Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Will Save: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (16) + 0 = 16

The allip tries to drain more of Thorgrim's dwindling Wisdom and the Ulfen man has had enough. He raises his hammer and strikes out at the monster.

Piston Maul: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 1 = 10

7 Wisdom damage to my 14 Wis.

Oloch swings maddeningly at the allip in front of him.

+1 Greatsword Power Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Damage: 2d6 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (4, 5) + 7 + 3 = 19

@Oloch: Since you haven't saved against the fascinate and it's an aura. You have to make a save against the effect before you can act. You would get two saves. One from Barley shaking you and one from the Allip attacking you.

The fascination effect doesn't say it offers a second save in shaking someone, so I think it is automatic. Sort of like a sleep spell.

Do you mean automatically I make the saves? I will roll anyway.

Will, Wis damage: 1d20 + 6 - 3 ⇒ (8) + 6 - 3 = 11

Will, Wis damage: 1d20 + 6 - 3 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 3 = 14

The fascinated condition can be removed by someone else shaking you as a standard action. (I thought it was full-round.) If the fascinate effect is ongoing, then you would still have to make a save against it, right?

Thorgrim, good point about an ongoing effect. However, I did miss one thing. You get a will save vs DC 15 to negate the wisdom damage from their touch attack. Both Oloch and Thorgrim, go back and roll those saves and readjust your Wis damage. If Oloch manages to make one of those his save vs the babble will succeed this round and his attack will happen.

Will Save vs. First Wisdom Damage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Gulp.

Will Save vs. Second Wisdom Damage: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 - 2 = 13

I've angered the dice god somehow.

Will Save-1st @ DC 15: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Will Save-2nd @ DC 15: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Third attack missed my touch AC.

Woo!

"Taco shell mustard dogs? Sounds amazing!"

Still fascinated.

Ali shakes his head and rids his thoughts of the insane ramblings, bringing his mind back to its usually singular focus: the show.

"For my next trick," Ali begins with wide open hand gestures, "I will need total silence!"

Casting silence on myself. Will last 5 rounds; extends in a 20' radius.

Hopefully not being able to hear them completely negates their aura without need for new saves or anything like that.

Ali, silence will do it, but since the babbling is a continuous effect, you'll need to make a will save in order to not fall under its fascination effect again.

Ah yeah, I guess so:
Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Guess we'll have to wait on that silence. Darn.

Oloch and Ali are shaken out of their fascination only to fall right back under it. Thorgrim manages to shake himself out of it though and swing his maul, but misses. Kawrock thinks about lunch.

The two allips attack again.

Touch on Thorgrim: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Wisdom Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2 *DC 16 Will save negates.
Touch on Oloch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Wisdom Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1 *DC 16 Will save negates.

I'll assume Rufus and Barley keep shaking people this round. Oloch and Ali can save again.

Ali, Rufus is shaking you so you get another save.

Sorry, missed that earlier:
Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Now it's time for the show!

"Excuse me, I need deep concentration and total silence!"

Silence!

Blessed silence descends on the area. Everyone is free of the fascination!

"Huh? What's going on?" Noticing the two spectral creatures still to the south the tengu throws a bolt of fire at the one directly south of him.

Firebolt: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 1 - 4 = 13 Ranged touch, point blank and cover

Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5 Point blank

"I had the most wonderful idea for a meal once we finish up here."

Barley sheaths his sword, switching for his kusarigama, hoping it'll help turn the battle.

Aid Oloch reach weapon: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Note that unless the spell has no verbal components you won't be able to cast now in the silence area. I sort of gimped myself but I figured the Smash Brothers would do more than my magic missiles.

Oleochemicals shakes his head, Why can I not hear anything? No matter. Oloch decides to just roll with the changes and swing at the silently babbling creature.

+1 Greatsword Power Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Damage: 2d6 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (5, 4) + 7 + 3 = 19

Thorgrim feels his sanity leave him as the Allip tugs on his mental fortitude once more.

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

The man levels his piston maul and attempts to kill the beast in front of him.

Piston Maul: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 8 - 1 = 26
Damage is irrelevant. Thorgrim's weapon isn't magical and he has no idea that this beast would be immune to his attacks.

Thorgrim bashes at an allip, hitting it square with his maul, but the weapon passes through without seemingly doing anything.

Rufus +1 bow at Allip: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Rufus fires another arrow, but misses.

Kawrock sends a bolt of fire that just barely misses.

Barley tries to aid Oloch by distracting one of the undead creatures, but Oloch seems distracted himself and nearly drops his weapon.

Allip touch on Thorgrim: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Wisdom Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2 *DC 15 will negates.
Allip touch on Oloch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Wisdom Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2 *DC 15 will negates.

Kawrock throws another firebolt after the first on missed. His beak moves as he tries to say something but with the silence spell active his words go unheard.

Ranged touch: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 - 4 = 10

Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

The Tengu begins to squawk and bang his fist against the wall in frustration. He lets out a few choice words that are nicely covered by the silence spell.

Barley continues to whirl his chained weapon overhead and keep the allip down.

Aid Oloch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Oloch shouts, "Taste the vicious sting of my blade!", calling upon his Sacred Weapon ability to give his greatsword the vicious quality. Then, working in conjunction with Barley's assist, Oloch tries to connect with one of the allips.

Power Attack, Assist: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 2 = 19
Damage: 2d6 + 7 + 3 + 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) + 7 + 3 + (4, 2) = 24

If it hits, Oloch takes 1d6 ⇒ 6 damage.

Will Save: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Can you assist with a mundane weapon against incorporeal?

Thorgrim sees Oloch yelling, but can't hear anything. He tries to aid the man by distracting the allip.

Aid Another: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
