(PFS/PBP/Roll20) The Sarkorian Prophecy [10-11 Tier] (Inactive)

Game Master Amsheagar

[ooc]In 2 rounds he's taken 145 damage from a sorcerer wielding a sword! Rawr!

The funny thing is that none of the damage came from being a sorcerer. In fact, some of the damage came from another sorcerer helping you with haste. :P

"Cease your prattling you ridiculous old fool," Ralph calls out from the safety of his flight and invisibility. "You will recall that it was you who threw the first punch."

No offence to Balik's player. Ralph's character is modeled after a certain arch-mage who talks this way.

"We are at our objective. Let us find those damned books and be done with this place before more "friends" arrive. And just so we're clear, the next people claiming to be harmless and friendly but are detected as evil by the paladins will be fireballed on sight."

LOL, yeah, the old man got his can handed to him.

How do you want to proceed. You are standing at the front door of this house. Do you want to adventure in right away?

Alden will take a long look around for dangers, then if he sees no traps, he'll open the front door.

To Alden while waiting for Bralik to recover, Bide a moment.
.
To the Bralani in celestial, Become one with the wind. Scout the exterior and roof for dangers or opportunities.
.
GM, I do have lowlight vision. Can I still only see 30 ft?

The Bralani becomes a whirlwind column of the ash filled air. It zips off to look in the windows, surrounding yard, and on the roof.
.
perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34
move is 130 fly speed with the haste.

There are no traps that either of you find. When you open the door, you see two people... standing to your right. A female and a Male.

The female looks at you "Greetings, did you get the big nasty outside? It had us trapped in here for days. My name is Embla, He's Rovald."

Sorry, I got ahead of myself.

...who are ransacking the room. As Alden opens the door, it startles them. "Oh, who are you? Better question, how did you defeat that big nasty outside."

Lavode's Bralani flys around the house, looking in each window. It sees two people in the first room (windows window seat room) and the other rooms appear to be empty. Lavode, from now on, your summoned creature goes on your turn and in your text box. It keeps it less confusing that way.

"Greetings, Embla and Rovald. How did you come to be here in the first place, might I ask?"

Exiel smiles as he uses his detect evil spell-like ability on each of them.

He also uses his eyes to cast detect weapons and armor and obvious magical items on them.

the man looks at Exiel, "We're burgles, we go into abandoned houses and reclaim what they lost."

Exiel looks at the pair of them incredulously. He's no whiz at detecting falsehood, but the last two 'people' he'd encountered in the World Wound that were not in his group had turned out to be demonic creatures. Common-sense dictated that no one came this far into the World Wound for petty reasons, and recent experiences only confirmed it.

"Burgles? Coming all the way into the World Wound? You risk getting killed by demons and having your souls stolen to be eaten by them just to see what might have been left behind in the ruins of a small town? How simple do you think I am?"

"You there in the back, keep your hands where I can see them and step forward slowly."

What weapons and armor are they carrying/wearing?

intimidate: 1d20 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 3 = 22

I will assume 4 rounds for the scouting, let me know if you think it should be longer.
time remaining on summoned Bralani = 4
time remaining on haste = 4
time remaining on vanish = 5
.
To the Bralani in celestial, Move over behind those folks and resume your warrior form. Remain on guard so no one undeserving gets hurt. If you know what I mean.
.
Hmm... Sounds to be risky again. Môžete ma nie! Lavode vanishes from sight. Cast vanish spell

I rush of air brushes past into the room and reforms into the angelic warrior.

Balik grumbles at the invisible wizard, mumbling something about high-minded idiots with more spells than sense as he brushes himself off.

No worries, Ralph! Balik IS an idiotic old man. It's why I love him. :)

He recovers himself, still mumbling to the skull on his shoulder about the disrespect for the elderly in this day and age and barges into the house, seeing the two people standing inside. "More demons in human clothing! Pah!"

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (16) + 23 = 39

Balik stares at them with hard eyes. "They're lying! Lyin' liars what lie, they are! They're no more burglars than I am! Should I punch this one, too, WIZARD?!?" He calls in a loud voice to the air around his head, looking grumpy.

Remembering Ralph's earlier words, Exiel levels his hooked lance at the man in the back and takes a step forward.

"I sense something...unusual about you." <-------Hey Ralph. Hint hint.

Unless I declare otherwise,assume that after each battle Exiel sheaths the sword and retrieves his hooked lance.

Alden and Naala stand firm next to their allies, waiting to see where this goes.

Aram trains his bow on the one Exiel has designated, and uses detect evil as well. If there is time he will cycle through detect chaos and detect law as well.

"As we represent the 'rightful owners' of this place, I suggest you drop your weapons and submit, or we will be forced to prevent your escape."

Balik stares at them with hard eyes. "They're lying! Lyin' liars what lie, they are! They're no more burglars than I am! Should I punch this one, too, WIZARD?!?" He calls in a loud voice to the air around his head, looking grumpy.

"Yes, let's just punch them. I've quite had it with demons thinking we're gullible enough to fall for their ruses."

Ralph moves into the room and readies an action to cast an intensified heightened fireball into the room so that it only catches the two "burgles" at the end if he sees either of them trying to cast a spell. He is still invisible.

Intensified heightened Fireball: 12d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 4, 5, 3, 6, 2, 6, 5, 6, 1, 3) = 52 save DC23 for half
Caster level check vs spell resistance: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

He will not take his readied action if he can't aim the fireball so his allies are excluded from the aoe.

Rovald spits on the ground. "We are no demons, nor did we have anything to do with that one outside." he says moving away from the summoned creature.

Embla draws her sword

People, i'm not gonna update your figures on the map. If you can't move it, let me know.

"Oh is that right? Well, you're certainly not burgles either. And definitely not crusaders for that matter. Last chance to tell us why you're really here before we assume the worst. Of course as Aram mentioned, we represent the rightful owners of this place, so if you insist that you are burgles then we'll apprehend you anyway. Personally, I'm beginning to lean towards you being Aspis agents, or perhaps flunkies of that !#&%@ Torch."

"Drop your weapons and keep your hands where I can see them or we're taking you down by force. We took down the Glabrezu in seconds without taking so much as a scratch. You two? Easy."

intimidate: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Edit: Exiel notes that they are within reach and will ready an action to disarm Embla if she tries to attack.

Embla steps forward and attempts to sunder Exiel's armor.
Sunder attempt v CMD: 1d20 + 18 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 18 - 2 = 261d12 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Embla's attack caught Rovald unaware.

No AoO, You're now in combat

-Round 1-
Balik
Aram
Lavode
Exiel, Alden, Ralph
GM

Balik steps up and tries to trip the woman. CMB improved trip: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33

Aram activates greater bane (humans) and mvoes into the room.

Once there, Aram fires an arrow at the man against the wall.

Arrow: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30Arrow damage: 1d6 + 5 + 4d6 ⇒ (1) + 5 + (1, 6, 2, 6) = 21

time remaining on summoned Bralani = 3
time remaining on haste = 3
.
Following order the Bralani steps forward and slices at the woman attacking Exiel.
scimitar attack plus flanking plus prone: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 2 + 4 = 24, if hits scimitar damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
.
Putting them on the ground seems like a good idea. Lavode uses the power of his ancestors to try and knock down Rovald.
tremor CMB: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17, if greater than CMD prone.

She is tripped then slashed. the man against the wall is hit with an arrow. Lavode ancestors have failed him this time around though.

-Round 1-
Balik
Aram
Lavode
-Up Next-
Exiel, Alden, Ralph
GM

Exiel laughs in disbelief as the woman tries to sunder his magical armor of force.

"Lady, you couldn't sunder this with an adamantine hammer," he chuckles. Even if you did pierce through it, the spell simply restores the armor until the duration runs out.

Dismissing her as an incompetent fool, Exiel full-attacks the unarmored man, Rovald, instead.

"This one at least is definitely evil. I'm taking him down."

attack roll 1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
damage roll 1: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
attack roll 2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 (from haste)
damage roll 2: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 (from haste)

Ralph fires his intensified heightened fireball into the far corner of the room. (This should get the two baddies and the Bralani. I hope he has good fire resistance.)

intensified heightened fireball: 12d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 3, 4, 6, 5, 1, 3, 5, 1, 5, 5) = 48 DC22 reflex for half

Ralph, need a spell resistance check of 17 to hit the Bralani with the fireball.
.
sweetness

caster level check vs Bralani: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Amazingly, Ralph manages to weaken his fireball at just the right spot to avoid piercing the Bralani's spell resistance.
All part of the plan because he's just that skilled as a wizard. ;)
Everything else burns.

Alden and Naala, currently ideally placed to aid their allies against these people, will spend their entire round worth of actions to boost Balik and Exiel's AC.

Using Alden's swift action for United Defense, giving Balik +2 Dodge to AC. Then using his Move action for Authoritative Command, giving all of his allies +1 to attack rolls, damage rolls, saves, and AC for 1 round. Then using his Standard action to add a +11 Dodge bonus to Exiel's AC. Naala uses her Standard action to add a +6 bonus to Balik's AC.

Then together using Bodyguard, they can add a total of +17 Dodge bonus to an adjacent ally's AC up to 4 times in the round.

Current bonus to Balik's AC: +9 Dodge bonus
Current bonus to Exiel's AC: +12 Dodge bonus
Additional bonus available to any ally: +17 Dodge bonus

Both of the foes are engulfed in fire.
The man against the wall casts a spell. Alden, I need a will save, DC is 21. If you fail, read the spoiler.

I'll continue my turn after i see Alden's results. It might change things.

Did Exiel's attacks against that man hit?

Considering the amount of punishment we've dealt to him, I'm guessing he's either prebuffed himself significantly so that our damage is not getting through or he's quite certainly a demon of some sort.

Oh, your attacks got through.. He is hurting..

spellcraft to identify the spell cast on Alden: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31

If Aram's bolt and Exiel's two attacks all hit, that's 47 damage, and if he failed his save against my fireball, that's another 48. But he might have had some resistance and made his save. Too early to decide he's a demon.

Focus fire on him. If he survives another round, I will agree and take more drastic measures.

"He is attempting to enslave Alden's mind! Be wary of Alden and take that spellcaster down quickly!"

Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Alden looks a bit confused at the moment... but then seems to snap back to reality. However, he turns on his friends, ready to defend his new master.

So, what were those benefits to AC again?

A Tengu appears beside Aram and attacks with a great sword and follows threw with a bite.
attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 272d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2) + 2 = 5 +5 bleed
sneak attack damage: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 4, 1, 2) = 10
bite: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 201d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Embla once again tries to sunder Exiels armor.
Sunder attempt v CMD: 1d20 + 18 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 18 - 2 = 341d12 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19 pron -4, flanking +2... doesn't look good.

GM, Exiel uses the spell mage armor for his armor. Even if you rolled a natural 20, you can't sunder a spell effect. XD

Exiel shakes his head as the foolish woman attempts once more to sunder his spell.

"Doesn't work that way."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------

Waiting to see how the others move. Fortuantely, all of us except Ralph go before Alden.

"Lavode! Your Bralani is beyond Alden's reach! Alden won't be able to protect that guy from your Bralani's attacks! Have it attack that mage! If he goes down, we get Alden back!"

Once Alden moves we'll have some difficulty dealing damage through physical attacks.

time remaining on summoned Bralani = 2
time remaining on haste = 2
time remaining on circle against evil = 100

In Celestial, Kill that mage! He slaves the minds of good people! The Ralani quickly steps over and begins swinging at the caster.

scimitar attack 1: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21, if hits scimitar damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

scimitar attack haste: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22, if hits scimitar damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
.
Meanwhile Lavode attempts to cast a spell without getting attacked by his ally. casting defensively: 1d20 + 10 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 7 = 31 Počúvajte len na mňa!
cast Magic Circle Against Evil, Alsen you get a fresh will save at +2

[ooc]So, the Tengu is directly north of me? He seems to be standing in a wall, so he should be squeezed, correct?[/b]

Aram drops his bow, draws his scimitar, and uses a swift action to activate greater bane, attuned to tengu.

scimitar: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17damage: 1d6 + 5 + 4d6 ⇒ (4) + 5 + (4, 3, 2, 6) = 24

"Move inwards if you can!"

Is the mage still alive?

barely...

The slashes hit the mage, he is barely alive. However, Aram was unable to land a blow on the tengu.

the room should be 3 squares... stupid map on there is only 12.5.... not squeezing.

-Round 1-
Balik
Aram -Declared-
Lavode -Declared-
Exiel, Alden, Ralph
GM

New Will save w/+2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13 Unfortunately, Alden is still affected by the mage's spell. Time to invest in some mental shielding after this scenario... LOL. I'll wait on Balik before I do any actions, so that I don't hurt our allies out of turn...

EDIT: Alden and Naala would also have used their Bodyguard feat to help the tengu against Aram's attack, so the Tengu would get +17 Dodge AC against that attack. That's one use for the round, he would have 3 more.

Edit: Let's see if Balik takes that mage down. If not, hopefully I will. I get to go before Alden and Ralph since I have a higher init mod.

Also, wow, a mage that can tank over 100hp using only material available during season 2? I'm impressed! After we finish I gotta read this scenario to see how he's doing it lol. I wanna borrow some of his tricks! XD

Exiel, the woman might be a cleric who used the shield other spell on the mage. You of all people should know this trick.

GM:Is the man's skin stony? Does the woman look like she is getting more injured when the man takes damage?

Alden, we need to see which of us goes first since our initiative modifier is the same.

roll-off vs Alden: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Roll-off: 1d20 ⇒ 13 You go before me. Luckily. LOL

[dice=Roll-off]1d20 You go before me. Luckily. LOL

Good. I should be able to make sure you get your action if both Balik and Exiel cannot finish off that mage. :)

Balik smiles slightly, which is a disturbing sight. He flurries on the mage, choosing to deal non-lethal damage in order to keep her alive for questioning.
