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

Game Master Amsheagar

Balik took 61 points of damage and Aram took 42 damage.
Say 2 potions of cure moderate to Balik and 1 potion of cure moderate to Aram. Both have a wand of CLW for the remainder and can activate them.
.
GM, I assume the scorpion isn't smart enough to have intentionally collected anything. But we will search around to see if anything had been dropped in the area by prior victims.
.
Shall we assume same single file marching order. Is there any sort of obvious path or tracks to follow at this point? What is visible in the area?

Sounds good to me!

Balik removes a slightly battered wand and begins healing himself.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Balik is fully healed, though he looks grumpy from the scorpion's brand of hugs. "Damn bugs. Always givin' a man more'n he wants."

Whew, that was close! Actually, I took 66 points, and only my fast healing 4 prevented me from being staggered.

Aram thankfully accepts the potion and chugs it back, and pulls out his wand and begins the slow process of healing the massive slices across his middle. "May need some help reaching the back gash... that bug cut me near in two! Thank you, friends, for your aid."

Aram recovers his bow and prepares to travel again as well. Looking for tracks or other signs of where we should be going.

Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Ralph activates his ring of invisibility, then flies up vertically to take a look around, trying to spot anyone or group of people trying to get away from this place.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

You are easily able to spot the way.

The landscape here is beyond desolate—former farmland blasted into oblivion by the horrors of the Abyss. Nothing grows here now, and the area is a flat wasteland that stretches to the horizon. Now the thirsty ground is cracked, with molten rivulets flowing deep beneath the surface and casting a haunting glow upon the terrain. A persistent chittering rises and falls from no particular direction.

Give me a moment and i'll add the people onto the map, and put you in your place for the start.

What is that blue thing out in front of us?

That's what he was using for my summoned creature. But by the time everyone is healed an we are ready to move, it will have expired and I don't have any more 5th level spell slots today.

Ok, just making sure it wasn't a threat.

Round 1
Exiel
Caggrigar
Balik
Alden
Lavode
Aram
Ralph

Who or what is Caggrigar? What are the blue and orange things between us and the human? What is happening? Your description only tells us what the scenery looks like.

After you've defeated the scorpion, you fond the trail of the Shadow Lodge agent and within 2 miles, you easily caught up with him. Who imminently recognizes that you are not his friends who he is expecting. He summons up 2 demons to fight along his side. You have 4 rounds to buff before you arrive at his location, but you guys can clearly see each other.

Anyone know what those creatures are or anything about them?
.
I can protect us from some type of energy if we know what kind, generally protect us from evil things, and give us the blessing of Nethys.
.
I assume Exiel will give haste again (though I can if you don't want to), Communal Protection from Energy X, Magic Circle against Evil, and Bless.
if one of you can make particular use of being invisible I can also do that. If not I will make myself invisible with the last buff.

Alden will toss an oil of align weapon to someone else who needs it, and will oil up his own weapon with his other one.

You see those creatures appear one round before you arrive there.

Once Exiel sees the Shadow Lodge agent, he begins casting spells furiously.

Round 1: Shield
Round 2: Divine power
Round 3: Monstrous Physique (gargoyle form)
Round 4: Haste (everyone)

Will see what spells other people cast before deciding what to do in round 1.

Balik simply nods at the Shadow Lodger, then scowls as the demonic things appear. "Ach! It's a damnable day when a simple meetin' between Pathfinders needs demons!"

Ready to assault when everyone else is!

Is this set before the Shadow Lodge became part of the society? I'm assuming so, based on this storyline...

Buff 1: Magic Circle against Evil on Alden (Alden and anyone that remains within 10 ft of him will get protection from evil)
Buff 2: Bless (+1 morale to attack rolls and vs. fear)
Buff 3: Communal Protection from Fire, unless someone gives me a different energy type to protect against (Absorbs 120 points of fire damage, that way Ralph can burn the world around us)
Buff 4: Greater Invisibility on self, then I will fly up off my horse.
.
Or wait, were we able to bring our horses down the tunnel? Maybe we are all on foot anyway. In that case I will attempt to fly about 15 ft up.

How far do we start away from him? I could be shooting for 4 rounds with bane arrows...

Assuming for some reason I can't identify him before then, my four rounds go thus:

Round 1: cast expeditious retreat (move speed is now 60).
Round 2: cast align weapon on my bow (treated as good).
Round 3: cast shield of faith.
Round 4: cast protection from evil. Swift action: activate judgement (protection, purity; added to stat bar).

Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

"The two minions are babau demons - they can summon darkness and have an acidic skin!

That's correct Alden, this is a season 1 scenario. You were on foot since the tunnel. No, you can't shoot him for 4 rounds with arrows. It says that he had a few rounds to buff, so i gave you a few rounds to buff.

Ralph still has time on his overland flight spell and will be maintaining invisibility using his ring.

When he sees the Shadow Lodge agent, he will cast the following spells:
1st round: Enlarge person on Aram
2nd round: mirror image on Ralph images: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
3rd round: Phantom steed for Exiel
4th round: Resist energy (fire) on Exiel You know what to do.

2 Ralph

2 Ralph

Immunities and resistances

"Break out the cold iron and holy weapons! They are resistant to other forms of weaponry. They are also resistant to fire, acid and cold, and spells in general, and completely immune to electricity and poison. Plan your tactics accordingly."

Ralph smiles to himself. They are resistant but not immune to fire. Good.

I believe we're now just waiting for Exiel's action for round 1?

...

4th round: Resist energy (fire) on Exiel You know what to do.
...

I'm cast Pro from Fire on everyone. Unless you are doing more than 120 points of fire damage, it won't have any effect. If you think you will do that much, go for it.

I forgot my fly check.
[dice=fly]1d20+5+8
Easily manage to hover 15' up.

I might. Not in one round, but potentially that or more over the first 3 rounds.

Nice. I'm always in favor of more fire on the enemy. I just didn't want you to waste a spell if you had missed my list.

Sorry, didn't realise we were waiting on me now. XD

"Take them down! We have them!" Exiel bellows as he kicks the phantom steed into a gallop.

Activating battle cry feat. Everyone gets +1 morale bonus to hit and saves vs fear for 1 minute, and can end the effect to reroll a failed save.

Using the incredible mobility of the phantom horse given to him by Ralph, Exiel skirts around the Babau demons (keeping 15ft distance from them in case they have 10ft reach) and comes at the Shadow Lodge agent from the side, reaches down and tries to get an arm around the shadow lodge agent's neck to get him into a headlock.

grapple roll: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25 (5 bab 5 str 3 morale 2 luck)

I will provoke an attack of opportunity from the shadow lodge agent.

If he succeeds, Exiel will laugh.

"If this is to end in fire, then we should all burn together."

"If this is to end in fire, then we should all burn together."

Comparing Ralph to Smaug? I like it!

Exiel. don't you have to mount the steed first?

Round 1 Summon the demons

Does he have wings to fly or does it look more like the fly spell or an item?

It's a move action to mount/dismount, so I reckon I would have done that in round 3.

But sinces he's flying in round 4, instead I'd fly straight up to him with my hasted fly speed and grapple him from the front. Different position but same result.

hex for flight, 7 minutes a day. Exiel, was the Monstrous Physique the highest level spell you cast?

The shadow agent is grappled. He looks at Exiel and casts defensively CD: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 20 = 38

Casts Dispel Magic DM: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

Exiel, you feel a unconformable wave rippling through your body as your gargoyle form fades from you. unless there is another one that is higher.
Okay, i missed that part of grappled.

The shadow agent vanishes from Exeil's grasps as he teleports away. If you want you can make a perception check to see if you see him.

Demon 1 looks at the Ralphs and also casts Dispel Magic.
DM: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 which fails to effect anything I believe.
Demon 2 looks at the big Aram and also casts Dispel Magic.
DM: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 Which will most likely cause Aram to shrink back down to normal size.

hex for flight, 7 minutes a day. Exiel, was the Monstrous Physique the highest level spell you cast?

The shadow agent is grappled. He looks at Exiel and casts defensively [dice=CD]1d20+20
Casts Dispel Magic [dice=DM]1d20+13

Exiel, you feel a unconformable wave rippling through your body as your gargoyle form fades from you. unless there is another one that is higher.

Demon 1 looks at the Ralphs and also casts Dispel Magic.
[dice=DM]1d20+7 which fails to effect anything I believe.
Demon 2 looks at the big Aram and also casts Dispel Magic.
[dice=DM]1d20+7 Which will most likely cause Aram to shrink back down to normal size.

Can't cast spells with somatic components when grappled.

This is why casters hate to be grappled. I'll wait to see what everyone else does before throwing my spell, which will probably be a big fireball.

Okay. I have switched the spell. He is now teleporting away. Concentration check instead of the Cast Defensively or both? If needed
Concentration Check: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35

Okay. I have switched the spell. He is now teleporting away. Concentration check instead of the Cast Defensively or both? If needed

[dice=Concentration Check]1d20+20

Should be both, since Exiel still has his natural attacks. But he'll probably make it. Did he teleport somewhere we can see or somewhere else entirely?

He's within 500 feet.

He's within 500 feet.

Does Ralph have line of sight and effect to him? Looks like Exiel may need that phantom steed after all.

I'm guessing he'll be casting long range spells at us next turn.

Give me a perception check. I'll cut the DC down to 20. He'll be off in the distance, about 450 feet away, behind his demons on the opposite side of you.

perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31 +2 is from heightened awareness spell.

Ralph spots the shadow lodge agent far in the distance and points him out to the rest of the party.

"Over there! He's over there!"

I'll have to think about my options. I'll wait to see what the others do before deciding my action, since I go last.

We should remember that our priority is getting to that witch and defeating him. We might be shooting long range spells at each other whilst the rest of you catch up to him.

Alden and Naala move up to one of the demons and Alden will take a swing with his lance.
lance+oil of align weapon (good): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
"To me, my friends! I will protect you from these foul creatures while you destroy them!"
