PFS - PbP Gameday IV - Serpent's Rise (7th lvl pregens) Starts 19/09/2015 (Inactive)

Game Master Revvy Bitterleaf

Giving up my held charge of Empowered Frigid touch doesn't seem like the best idea... Can we consider the square pinpointed with Rataji's indication, or do we need to make perception checks?

Vengeful suggestion

Pulling out his bow, The Vengful directs an arrow at the point indicated.

Can't use studied target as he can't see the horrible ma

attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
miss chance, low is bad: 1d100 ⇒ 63

Will glitterdust the offending person once it's my turn again.

I am back! I will gladly use 322's suggestion.

Pulling out her wand of True Strike on the way, Shohiraj moves into the general area pointed out by Rataji. She then nudges her wand to cast True Strike on herself.

You can consider the square pinpointed by the Leader's pointing

Manarius pulls out a bow and directs an arrow at the point that the Leader pointed out.

The arrow flies true and seemingly bounces of something in mid air
(The Leader can see that the arrow hits Aram Zey in the chest and just bounces of without drawing blood)

init
Artist
Aram Zey

I'll go for the next round when I get home today, possibly skipping the Artist if she hasn't posted by then

Will post a little later today. Sorry for delay.

Doing a flying charge at Zey if I can.

miss chance (low is bad): 1d100 ⇒ 98

Attack with charge and haste: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 1 + 2 = 28

damage: 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9+Flaming: 1d6 ⇒ 3+Frigid touch: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 2, 4) = 14*1.5 = 21 spell damage + staggered for 1 round.

Don't think you can charge something you can't see If you don't have line of sight to the opponent at the start of your turn, you can't charge that opponent., but moving and attacking should work

The Artist moves forward and strikes at where she think Aram Zey is located, her blade impacts with something..it feels as if she hits a wall..but the wall is almost a foot behind where her blade stopped moving. An energy backlash travels up through her wielded weapon and up her arm until she feels an explosion inside her head (will save DC 18 or stunned for a round - stunning barrier triggers)

Lightning appears out of nowhere (unless you are the Leader, then you can see Aram Zey casting a spell) hitting the Leader first and then jumping from him to everyone else other then the dragon (who is out of reach)

Chain Lightning damage for everyone besides the dragon: 11d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 3, 4, 3, 2, 5, 3, 5, 6, 2) = 41 Reflex DC 23 for the Leader, DC 21 for the others for half damage

will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

So close!

reflex : 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Flying up. 322 looks at the spot that everyone is assaulting.

Then the lightning hits
reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

"I don't see anything. "

Then she giggles,

"But the void sees All!"

Closing her eyes, she repeats the little ritual she invoked earlier at the door, trying to remove the various protections around the invisible mage.

Dispel magic. Caster level check against Arum. While I'm guessing that all his spells are at the same caster level, if he used a wand or potion, some may be lower. Up to you the order of the spells that are attempted, dispel keeps working down until it gets one. I normally do highest level spells first, as that fits with the highest caster level idea, but really up to you.

Dispel check vs spells on Arum: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Dispel check vs spells on Arum: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Dispel check vs spells on Arum: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Dispel check vs spells on Arum: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Dispel check vs spells on Arum: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Dispel check vs spells on Arum: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
If he has more spells active than that, and I failed on all of them, we are in deep trouble, but feel free to roll more dispel checks :-)

The dragon sniffs the air for the source of the lightning and then returns the favor by beathing his acid breath at it.

Acid Breath Weapon DC 15 for half: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 5) = 11

cooldown for breath weapon: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Shohiraj triple flips out of the way of the lightning!

She has evasion. I'll post her combat actions after The Leader acts, assuming he is still up after the lightning bolt.

Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Reflex Folio reroll, 2 stars: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 2 = 21

With a bit of divine inspiration and a lot of luck Marnarius jumps free of most of the bolt.

Marnarius will wait for the leader to act, hoping Zey is visible at the time

Marnarius quickly shoots another arrow at the enemy wizard

Studying Zey if he is visible. If that is the case add 4 to attack and damage
Attack, haste, point blank: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 1 + 1 = 20
Damage, point blank: 1d8 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9
Miss chance (low=bad): 1d100 ⇒ 13

He then moves to the stairs.

The Artist stands (hangs, hovers?) around stunned a few seconds by the impact her weapon made.

Flying up. 322 looks at the spot that everyone is assaulting

I _think_ you'd need to be able to see Aram Zey to be able to dispel things on him. Since you can't target him with a spell if you cant see him....but let's assume you wait with your action till after the Leader and go from there

The Dragon moves(? I assume, otherwise there's a pretty big change you breath over the Artist) and breaths acid into where he thinks Aram Zey should be
Reflex save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Manarius fires an arrow (which may or may not miss, depending on stuff) before moving

init
Leader, Proffesional (Resolve Manarius and 322 action)
Aram Zey

yes, move as necessary of course

Sometimes It sucks to be the leader. lol
Reflex Save vs DC 23 for 41 Dmg, Save is half 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 <--- Crap.Sooooo Close. Thank god for Heal earlier.
Uses Scroll of Glitterdust. No DC listed though. Making sure not to catch his ally .

Smoking from the full shock of the lightning Bolt. Rataji knows that he has only one more trick left, He might not enjoy the fruit of this mission. He holds up that one Scroll and spats out the words from its wrtiings as fast as he can, bringing forth a casade of colorful dust to envelop the area. His aim to catch Aram Zey in its net.

Once the real Aram Zey appears, Shohiraj draws a tanglefoot bag from her haversack and hurls it at him.

Ranged Touch + True Strike - Melee: 1d20 + 10 + 20 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 20 - 4 = 40

Just so the DM doesn't have to look up how the entangle works: He now has a –2 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity and can only move half speed. I'm assuming he's magically flying so being stuck to the floor or having to make a save to keep flapping his wings doesn't apply. If he attempts to cast a spell he needs to make a concentration check of DC of 15 + the spell’s level. The entangle effect lasts 2d4 rounds.

The Leader uses his scoll and Aram Zey looks all glittery now

Will save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 Assuming DC for caster lvl from 2nd lvl scroll = 10 + 3 for lvl + min. caster stat (12) + 1 = 14, he's not blinded
but after blinking twice his eyes adjust to the sparkels

The Proffesional throws a bag of sticky stuff
Duration: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5
covering the glitterly Aram Zey

Manarius studies Aram Zey's sprakling outline and fires an arrow at him hitting him somewhere in what he assumes is the torso before moving on. A tiny red dot is seen between all the silvery glittering sparkles (it doesn't seem like the ammount of blood you'd expect from an arrow impact)

The Experiment dispels some magic that was effecting Aram Zey Highest lvl spell first, if I go with listed buffs in order it would have been much help either and the duplicate Aram Zey dissapears into nothingness

"Well played, well played..but futile in the end"

Aram Zey starts to cast a spell (3th lvl spell, so 15+3-18)
Concentration: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30
Caster lvl check - DC 11+7=18: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

init
Party
Aram Zey

I consent to having the Leader cast a spell with my character in the area of effect, by the way. With scrolls, the DC is usually the minimum that the spell could be cast at, so glitterdust is only 13.

Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Joliryn shakes her head, recovering from being stunned. Can I act yet, or am I still stunned? I'm a little unclear on how many rounds have passed since then.

Is Aram Zey invisible again?

I just realized that the tanglefoot bag should cover part of Aram Zey and didn't go invisible, so you can use that to pin point his square for as long as it's on him

Marnarius runs up the stairs, taking two steps at a time and quickly moves along the balcony. Waiting for the spellcasters to act he poisons an arrow and shoots it at the Pathfinder wizard. "Ready to shoot, tell me when!"

Add 4 to rolls if Zey is still studied, I assume he is still studied if visible again but I am uncertain how that works with a target that is currently invisible.
Attack, point blank, precise shot: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 1 = 24
Damage, point blank: 1d8 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 = 11
Possible concealment, low is bad: 1d100 ⇒ 33 Drat!

Deathblade Poison (Ex) Save Fortitude DC 20, Frequency 1/round for 6 rounds, Effect 1d3 Con damage; Cure 2 consecutive saves

Move action: move 60 ft
Swift action: poison arrow
Standard action: shoot arrow (mechanically: ready until friendly spellcasters have acted or somebody tells him to shoot)

That is one bad ass.
Spellcraft 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27

"Curses. " Rataji mumbles as he once more tries to weave a spell with his free hand, stops and withdraws another scroll instead. Scroll of dispel magic.

The Professional moves 30 ft. to the south of the room and tries to figure out the best way up.

How high up is the balcony encircling the perimeter of the room? If it's 10 ft or less, Shohiraj will try to climb up. If it's more than 10, she'll pull out her rope and grappling hook this round.

Climb Check if short distance to climb: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Rataji, why don't you cast the scroll? Retrieving should be only a move action.

If the image went, then probably Aram appeared, as the projected image spell does both effects. That is just me guessing about projected image though.

Badly hurt, but pleased that her removal of his protections is working, 322 continues to cackle with delight, opening another portal to the void behind the horrible Aram.

dispel magic again: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
dispel magic again: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

dispel magic again: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Can I act yet, or am I still stunned? I'm a little unclear on how many rounds have passed since then.

1 round has passed and you were stunned for 1 round, so you are free to act now

If the image went, then probably Aram appeared. That is just me guessing about projected image though.

He's also got greater invisibility running

@Professional ;balcony is 10ft high. Since it lists that a typical wall is a DC 20, I'm going to have to go on you not being able to climb up the wall though with that check

Marnarius runs up the stairs, taking two steps at a time and quickly moves along the balcony. Waiting for the spellcasters to act he poisons an arrow and shoots it at the Pathfinder wizard.

The Professional tries to climb up the wall but fails

Badly hurt, but pleased that her removal of his protections is working, 322 continues to cackle with delight, opening another portal to the void behind the horrible Aram
You manage to dispel a spell on him, but I don't think you know what you dispel, there's no effect that you notice (or don't notice anymore). You could try to dispel his invisibility though with a target dispel..you know he's invisible and able to attack..you should have sufficient spellcraft to deduce it's greater invis

Disgusting Pathfinder - you are a abomination!

The Dragon flies at him and bites at the pathfinder

Rataji uses the Scroll! Fairly spitting out the words with venom, he send it disrupting energies towards his foe!

Joliryn flies away from Aram Zey and casts Glitterdust again, making sure it only affects the wizard. DC 16 Will this time. Hey, he's sure to roll a 1 sooner or later...

Thank you Joliryn! Now at least we can see him again. Getting rid of the invisibility massively improves my capabilities against him.

Post got eaten...typing again

The Leader dispels another spell from Aram Zey Going next highest lvl spell left

Joliryn flies away from Aram Zey and casts Glitterdust again, making sure it only affects the wizard

and Aram Zey suddenly pops back visible

Will save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33 but the glittering dust doesn't blind his vision

"You are starting to become annoying!"

Manarius seeing his target let's his arrow fly. A normal sized arrow wound appears on Aram Zey's shoulder
Fort save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
but doesn't seem to effect him all that much

The dragon charges but his bite can't get through the magical armor surrounding Aram Zey (doesn't hit AC)

"Why don't you just roll over and play dead?! It seems I must speed thing along by my own hands!"

Aram Zey hovers a bit away from the dragon and cocnentrates a bit to overcome the goo sticking at him
Concentraction check: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36
and 3 rays of flame shoot out from one of his hands
To hit touch AC Artist: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 7 - 4 = 23
To hit touch AC Dragon: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 7 - 4 = 21
To hit touch AC Leader: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 7 - 4 = 15

To confirm vs Artist: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 7 - 4 = 7

Fire damage Artist: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 2) = 11
Fire damage Dragon: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 4, 5) = 18
Fire damage Leader: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 3, 2) = 7

You then notice a rod he has in his hand pulse with power
Concentration check: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29 and 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 extra versions of Aram Zey suddenly surround him, making it very difficult to pick out which one is the real one as a spell quickly goes off

The Leader is Under Displacment. Miss chance? Pray you miss? Else I'm just going to go down. This combat is high on the Challenge. Am Loving it.
Also is anybody else in blast radius? Am About to use the Rod of Acid and cast Acid Ball (Fire ball).

Waiting to see if I need to revive the Leader before posting. We did not say who was getting the CMW potions Zurnzal gave back, but Shohiraj would have tried to snag one.

I assume 322 managed to get one of his protective spells down as well?

Starting to gibber, 322 seems almost oblivious to what is going on, her eyes wide seeing things that nobody else in the room can see.

And I keep forgetting about the Tongues curse!

Once again she directs the last of her void granted powers at the wizard in an attempt to eat the magic that surrounds him.
dispel, aiming for mirror image first: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
dispel, highest level non mirror image: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
dispel, next highest level non mirror image: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
dispel, next highest level non mirror image: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
dispel, next highest level non mirror image: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

So assuming from his dice he is an 11th level caster... that fails to get the mirror image or highest other level defensive spell, but does get the next highest level spell up.

Joliryn backs off further, and casts the same spell back at Zey. Using a 3rd level slot to cast Scorching Ray

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 251d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 6) = 124d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 5) = 14

Mirror image chance to hit: 1= Zey, 2-7 are images.

1d7 ⇒ 5 Pops an image
1d6 ⇒ 2 Pops another

@Leader; sorry for not rolling miss chance sooner, I completely forgot you had it up. Lots of spells to keep track off

20% Miss chance due to displacement: 1d100 ⇒ 32

So, that hits. you have your hp listed at 10 btw..and you only take 7 damage....ain't you still standing at 3 hp?

@The Professional; not saying you shouldn't revive the Leader..but administering a potion to someone else is a full-round action. So you need a move to draw it and then move over to the Leader (5ft step in this case)and then spend a full round action feeding it to him..which won't take effect till the start of your next round..so it's taking about 2-3 rounds..just pointing out the action economy here

Starting to gibber, 322 seems almost oblivious to what is going on, her eyes wide seeing things that nobody else in the room can see.

@332, you got rid of a spell that he had buffed himself with but got no visible clue out of it and you got rid of another spell this time..failing against his first 2 remaining highest lvl spell and getting rid of 1 which doesn't leave a visible indication that it's gone..but you did get rid of another spell

Joliryn backs off further, and casts the same spell back at Zey..the numbers of Aram Zey's reduces by 2

Assuming I can also act ;-)

Marnarius takes a step and then stands still and fires three arrows at Zey.

2 images popped, 15 damage vs AC21. If the attack missed by less than 5 one more image popped

You're right. I was thinking that I was going to go down. And Now it's all or Nothing!!! Again I hope no one is in the blast radius.

Staggering from that last hit, Rataji raises the staff in his hands and invokes its arcane energies!!!

Cackling green light pool at its end and starts to grow until a small pea shape ball of green energy writhes into being. Rataji holds it until the last moment and fires it!

Staff of Acid aka Fire Reflex DC 18 7d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 5, 2, 2, 4) = 21

Shohiraj makes two thwarted attempts to climb the bookcase.

Climb: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

The dragon looks annoyed at Zey So many tricks, but you cannot escape your fate, human!

He then tears into Zey with a flurry of attacks meant to make the mirror images irrelevent.

Joliryn's eyes widen as she watches true draconic fury unleashed.

@Manarius, sorry..got you confused with the Ambitious...that was supposed to be Vengeful ;)

Manarius fires 3 arrows in rapid succession all 3 arrows hit ...well something. After he's finished there are 2 less Aram Zey's hovering around

@the Leader, unless someone is better at spacial placing then I am..I think it's impossible to not include someone in the blast. Least amount of target will be Marnarius. Normally I'd let him decide if it's alright to include him in the blast..otherwise you'll have to chance your action.. being evil doesn't allow you to blast allies without their consent ;) But the damage can't kill Manarius and with what the dragon will do in a few seconds.....
Reflex save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Cackling green light pool at its end and starts to grow until a small pea shape ball of green energy writhes into being. Rataji holds it until the last moment and fires it! Aram Zey is blasted fully by it and smoke can be seen steaming of his body

Shohiraj makes two thwarted attempts to climb the bookcase

The dragon looks annoyed at Aram Zey and takes a step closer and then goes into a draconic fury of attacks
I _think_ blindsense let's you pick out the real one from the images..but that's what I think, so it's possible someone else might rule that differently Check to see if it would have mattered: 1d3 ⇒ 3 1d2 ⇒ 1 And it ends up not mattering anyways]
and tears huge chunks out of one of the Aram Zey's the wall behind where Aram Zey used to be is splattered in blood and pieces of flesh as Aram Zey's body hits the balcony and a pool of blood starts to form underneath his body, quickly growing larger and starting to drip down onto the floor beneath.

[ooc]Out of combat

"Nasty wizard, that one! But I think he was one of the leaders of this damn society. Let's secure the sky key and wreak some more havoc!"

Holy....That is some draconic Fury.

Bleeding and ready to topple, Rataji's Pride is the only thing keeping him up.
"Yes Let's secure the sky key and meet our contacts." As he limps forward and starts looting the body as well as obtain the sky key.

"hehheheheh"

Giggles 322, flying forward, with streams of smoke still coming off her.

He extracts a strange little lantern and puts it down next to the dead wizard, and watches, giggling to herself.

"Yes, I agree with Rataji, we should not linger here for long. However, it may be prudent to take the valuables from the target, they may be of use to us in the future."
