PFS PBP Gameday 3: Amazing Red's Risen From the Sands (Inactive)

Game Master Daxter

"Oh? I rather detest bugs. But yes, let us avoid an unnecessary fight."

West!

This room's bare sandstone walls and floor are devoid of decorations and furnishings. There are four skeletons guarding this room, covered in flame. The fifth skeleton has four arms, all holding short swords, and is covered in blood.

Order is: BM, Khamul, Kelevan, Leif, B, Melina. The bloody skeleton steps forward and tries to stab at Khamul.

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Confirming: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Khamul, Kelevan, and Leif are up!

Is Khamul in front or Kelevan? Is the map up to date?

Khamul. Now it is up to date.

"Stop that!"

Control Undead: DC 16 Will save, can control up to 7 HD of undead.

B: 4d20 ⇒ (16, 18, 19, 6) = 59
BM: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

You get B4 who is 1Hd.

"Attack that one!" Khamul commands it to turn on its friend.

Kelevan and Leif!

Leif touches the elf with a bit of Gorum's might.

Guidance.

Kelevan considers flinging some goo at the nearest enemy undead, ducking his head and weaving from side to side in an attempt to get a clear shot. Finally he shakes his head and sends a viney tendril snaking forward instead, silently causing it to wrap itself around one of the enemy's swords before giving a quick tug.

Disarm (guidance): 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 = 26
Well, that'll work.

B3 attacks at Khamul through cover.

Claw: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 2 - 4 = 18

Confirming Claw: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 2 - 4 = -1

1d4 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + (6) + 2 = 12

Claw: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 2 - 4 = 17

1d4 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + (3) + 2 = 8

B4 turns on his ally.

Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Confirming Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

1d4 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + (4) + 2 = 9

Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

And the traitorous skeleton destroys the bloody undead. Melina!

Melina simply moves so that she can see what exactly is going on in the room F18. Seeing burning skeletons, she draws a flask of liquid ice.

And I didn't realize that because the bloody skeleton is dead, the rest of the party is up as well.

I read that at first as though you were using the british expletive.

"Ow," Khamul withdraws from the room and sends his skeletons in to do his dirty work.

Kelevan flings goop.

Ranged Touch (cover, in melee): 1d20 + 3 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 3 - 4 - 4 = 3

Leif touches Kelevan's shoulder again to improve his goop-aim.

One of the commanded skeletons(S6) move up and claws an enemy undead.

Cover: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 2 - 4 = 14

But the claw hits the corner. The newly acquired burning skeleton turns on its former allies.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Then it is swarmed by its allies.

B1 vs B4: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

B1 vs B4: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

B1 Confirming vs B4: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

B2 vs B4: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

B2 vs B4: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

B3 vs B4: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

B3 vs B4: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

And the newest minion is destroyed first!

Party up!

Leif bless the elf again.

Rinse and repeat!

Khamul casts infernal healing on himself with his wand and lets the skeletons continue their work.

Melina maintains her place, hoping skeletons will dispose of each other. delay

are those standard burning skeletons? You might want to double check their abilities red. Also, please move M into F18

Oh right, fiery death. And the aura. Kelevan is up!

1d6 ⇒ 6

S6 Flex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Kelevan throws goop.

Ranged Goop (cover, in melee, guidance): 1d20 + 3 - 4 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 - 4 - 4 + 1 = 1

Khamul's commanded skeleton will get to work!

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

And the burning skeleton explodes, taking S6 with it. The rest filter into the room.

AOO on S2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

1d4 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + (4) + 2 = 7

S2 is taken down before he can even swing!

S3 vs B1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

The two remaining fiery skeletons battle the indentured skeleton.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

But they all miss. Party up again!

Goop?: 1d20 + 3 - 4 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 - 4 - 4 + 1 = 7

Khamul waits for his wounds to heal and fires a ray of frost at the burning skeleton!

ranged touch: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 3 - 4 = 18
cold: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Leif steps over and touches the bleeding necromancer with his healing wand.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Melina moves in F15 and throws her flask of liquid ice

at B2: 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 8 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 - 8 = -1
1d8 ⇒ 7

It lands near the feet of the skeleton and does minimal harm.

1 point of cold damage to B2 only

Between the efforts of Khamul and Melina, B2 is destroyed.

1d6 ⇒ 5

Flex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

And so is Khamul's last commanded undead. The last burning skeleton walks up and engages Kelevan.

Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Party up!

Stepping back, of course...

Goop?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Damage?: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Acutally, I think it ran into me first, since I had moved up into that spot.

Melina steps back and throws a vial of acid.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
acid: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Kelevan and Melina make quick work of the last burning skeleton, it's body explodes catching the two of them.

Boom!, DC11 to take half: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Just need reflex saves from Melina and Kelevan, but otherwise combat is over!

I thought it was only a 5' radius?

Nm then. Carry on.

"Good riddance," Khamul says as he kicks aside the bones. He uses his wand a couple more times and says, "Just give me a minute, I need a breather." While waiting for the magic to finish, he scans the room with detect magic.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

No magic is detected in the room. Though you do detect another door.

Once everyone is ready, Khamul leads the way through the door!

Sumptuous hanging silks, plush cushions, and patterned rugs decorate this luxurious chamber. A cool breeze bearing the mingled scent of lotus flwers and perfume wafts through the room. The distant notes of a lively tune plucked out on a lyre are accompanied by the sounds of trickling water, birdsong, and feminine laughter. Walking further into the room reveals two beautiful Osirian women, lounging about, eating grapes and other fruit. "Ah, it has been so long since we had visitors. Come, stay a while and have some wine and fruit. We long for conversation and company." One of the women says while gesturing suggestively.

"Fascinating! Envoys from the past; a pleasure to make your acquaintance; I am Melina Xinkala; this is Khamûl, Kelevan, and Leif. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. We are representatives of the Pathfinder society, students of lost lore."

Lotus lowers, perfume and lyres? Some sort of illusion? I don't have detect magic though.

How have they survived so long? "Truly, it is a pleasure to meet you. There are some fascinating artifacts in here; do you mind if I study their magic with a simple cantrip?"

If they allow it, Khamul will cast detect magic and scan the room, mostly looking for illusory auras.

Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

As soon as Khamul does so, the ladies get enraged! Their illusion falling off to reveal two undead eating chunks of rotted flesh instead of apples and wine goblets fill with dust. They hiss as they stand up.

Everyone but Kelevan is up!

Melina moves into the corner E10. She clucks sadly "Such a waste of lore!" Pragmatically, she throws a bomb.

1 = 1
flat-footed? touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
fire: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

"Stop! Both of you!"

Command Undead: DC 16 Will save, can control up to 7 HD of undead.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Melina hits with a bomb while Khamul is able to seize control of one of the undead. Leif!

Leif touches Kelevan with another minor blessing.

The currently free-willed zombie steps forward and slams into the bomb throwing Melina.

PA: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Her compatriot turns on her!

PA: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Party up!

"You will wish you had fallen under my command!" the necromancer steps forward and swings his scythe at the uncontrolled undead!

mwk scythe: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
damage: 2d4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3, 1) + 3 + 1 = 8

Inconveniently trapped in the corner, and without any skill at personal combat, Melina cowers.

Total D, AC 21

Kelevan continues to conjure positive goop, wishing there were some other way he could be useful.

Goop?: 1d20 + 3 - 4 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 - 4 - 4 + 1 = 10
Damage?: 1d6 ⇒ 2
