PFS Refuge of Time

Game Master Vahanian 89

Will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
Not trained in Planes, unfortunately...

Taking a 5-ft step before casting and casting defensively - it's an automatic success for a level 2 spell (+18 bonus, DC 19) - in case he's got reach.

Steeling his willpower, Shandor retreats to a safer spot before unleashing a shower of gold at the outsider. Casting glitterdust, no SR, no save against the effect that'll make it appear. Will DC 20 save to negate the blinding effect.

Its a good thing you made your save but you have no idea what spell it would have been.

Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Woah, he is fast... Time to get to work! It doesn't seem like the creature that carved the hole in the mountain though.

Buck harnesses the power of his Blue Scarf, steps closer to the glittering mass with a little spin, and stabs at it with his rapier! 1 panache point spent to activate Swordmaster's Flair (Blue Scarf) for 1 minute of reach, 5ft step, full-attack

I've got you now!

Attack 1: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 221d4 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
Attack 2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 221d4 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

"Suri, attack!"

Suri does as Shayla commands, and attacks the enemy.

+1 Bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Free trip on hit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
+1 Claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 Damage: 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
+1 Claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 Damage: 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

+4 on attack and damage rolls vs. humans & +2 on attack and damage rolls vs. evil outsiders.

The outsider is easily able to dodge all of your attacks.

Jory is up.

Actually Shayla hasn't acted yet, only her pet did.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Jory steps and fires three cold iron arrows at their foe. He used cold iron because it worked in the past.

Flurry of blows, perfect shot on the first, all deadly aim

arrow 1/reroll/damage: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 211d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 191d8 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
arrow 2/damage: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 311d8 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
arrow 3/damage: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 171d8 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Actually Shayla hasn't acted yet, only her pet did.

I think Shayla did, total defense and moved forward iirc. What does this thing look like btw? Can't make the check :(

I meant her round 2 action, since she acts before the enemy.

Jory still needed to act in round 1.

Jory misses with his first and third arrows but hits with the second.

Sorry, my bad then! Most PbP GMs choose to have the PCs acting in block regardless of rounds (e.g. in this case, have Shyla's round 2 action at the same time as everyone else's round 1 action) for the sake of keeping the pace.

Shayla sighs and double moves to reach the melee.

"I hate it when they move all over the place..."

So it looks like none of my posts from last night went through on any of my games so lets try this again.

The being moves over to Jory and swings!

Power Attack + vital strike: 1d20 + 17 - 3 ⇒ (7) + 17 - 3 = 21

I have reach, did his movement provoke?

Buck will 5 ft step and full-attack again!

I'll get him this time!

Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 261d4 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 201d4 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Shandor focuses his thoughts to bend the rules of space and time for his companions, hastening them.

Casting haste on the party (pet included): +1 attack, AC, Ref, # of attacks (full-attack only), +30ft movement (max double original land speed).

-Posted with Wayfinder

Jory feels the magical speed and uses his inner ki to channel another burst of speed. He stands next to the creature and fires five cold iron arrows.

Flurry of flows, ki for extra attack, arrows do not provoke (feat), Hasted, mage armor AC now 25

arrow 1/reroll/damage: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 251d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 311d8 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Jory scores 3 hits and buck gets 1 hit! But they don't do nearly as much damage as he thought they would. Forgot about his DR opps

Jory saw the first Salvo of cold iron wasn't so effective. His last Salvo was made of the space metal that defeated animated monsters.

Switched to adamantite durable arrows for last 5. They still may have been ineffective, but Jory liked to change from things that did not work.

It is still ineffective. And as you dont know what this thing is its hard to tell why.

AoO? +1 Adamantine Sawtooth Saber: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

"Darn it!" Shayla curses as the creature moves away from her, again. She immediately moves after it and attacks it.

+1 Adamantine Sawtooth Saber: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

+4 on attack and damage rolls vs. humans & +2 on attack and damage rolls vs. evil outsiders.

"Suri, flank!"

AoO? +1 Bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Free trip on hit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Suri circles the enemy and moves into a flanking position with Shayla.

+1 Bite, Flanking: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 2 = 25 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Free trip on hit, Flanking: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 2 = 25

+4 on attack and damage rolls vs. humans & +2 on attack and damage rolls vs. evil outsiders.

Shayla just missed with her first strike but Suri is able to hit one but does no damage to the golden figure.

He then sighs and unloads on those surrounding him!

Attack Buck: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34
Damage: 2d6 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (3, 3) + 7 + (3) = 16

Attack Shyla: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

Crit confim Shyla: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
Damage: 2d6 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 5) + 7 + (3) = 21

Everyone: don't forget haste.

Shandor weaves a spell, chanting words in ancient Thassilonian. He draws the rune of Sloth in the air before him, and it flashes as the spell takes effect. Casting swipe to teleport our enemy's melee weapon into my hand.
CMB: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22 Very unlikely to succeed!

Suri continues her attempts to hurt and trip the enemy.

+1 Bite, Flanking, Haste: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 19 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

+1 Claw, Flanking, Haste: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 30 Damage: 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
+1 Claw, Flanking, Haste: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 21 Damage: 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

+4 on attack and damage rolls vs. humans & +2 on attack and damage rolls vs. evil outsiders.

Finally, it doesn't move!

Shayla finally sees a chance to get multiple attacks in, and sends multitude of slashes at the enemy.

+1 Adamantine Sawtooth Saber, TWF, Flanking, Haste: 1d20 + 13 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 13 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 21 Damage, Dirty Fighter: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8
+1 Mithral Sawtooth Saber, TWF, Flanking, Haste: 1d20 + 13 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 13 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 29 Damage, Dirty Fighter: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6
+1 Adamantine Sawtooth Saber, TWF, Flanking, Haste: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 16 Damage, Dirty Fighter: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9
+1 Mithral Sawtooth Saber, TWF, Flanking, Haste: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 26 Damage, Dirty Fighter: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

+4 on attack and damage rolls vs. humans & +2 on attack and damage rolls vs. evil outsiders.

Buck takes another step and continues his offensive Good lord, what on earth are we fighting?

Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 311d4 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 231d4 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 281d4 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
Bonus Crit Damage: 1d4 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 If crit confirmed, 25 total damge

Its sword stays firmly in its hand and it sighs as Suri And Shylara hit but do no damage to it. Buck fares slightly better but still doesnt do as much as he feels he should.

You are fighting a knowledge planes :p

Jory fires at their foe with his regular arrows.

He uses his inner strength to fire five arrows with deadly aim.

normal arrow 1: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 191d8 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

normal arrow 2: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 191d8 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

normal arrow 3: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 241d8 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

normal arrow 4: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 201d8 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

normal arrow 5: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 271d8 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Hasted, mage armor 9/12 ki 5/7 perfect shots

What kind of weapon is it wielding, by the way?

A Greatsword that is on fire.

Jory hits twice more but his arrows seem to do little!

The being unloads on buck!

Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37
Damage: 2d6 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 1) + 7 + (5) = 18

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Jory keeps up his barrage. "What metal will hurt this thing?? I will use these wood ones I guess."

normal arrow: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 341d8 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
normal arrow: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 181d8 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
normal arrow: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 251d8 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
normal arrow: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 161d8 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
normal arrow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 291d8 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

8/12 ki 5/7 perfect shot

Vexed to see his spell fail, the elderly sorcerer puts all his will into another attempt to swipe the extraplanar creature's sword. "A flaming sword? That is an appropriate offering, worthy of my greatness. Thank you." Shandor taunts, a wide grin on his orcish face.

Casting swipe again.
Swipe (CMB): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23 Can't believe those rolls. Reroll!
Reroll, GM 3 stars: 1d20 + 18 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 18 + 3 = 39

That should do it. If he succeeds, the weapon appears in Shandor's hand. He will then stash it inside his Handy Haversack.

Don't forget haste!

Seeing an opening after the devastating blow he just received Sweet Baby Jesus, Buck counter attacks as his foe swings wide!

Stylish Reposte: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 251d4 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17 Missing me by 5 or more provokes an attack of opportunity once per creature via Weapon Trick: Stylish Reposte

"Great job Shandor, let's see what he can do now!"

Then he continues his advance, hoping to drop his foe before it gets the best of him.

Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 261d4 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 201d4 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14
Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 141d4 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

I can't take another hit like that, Arqueros lend me your aid!
Lay On Hands: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Not gonna lie, our collective die rolls have been awful :/

The being glares at Shandor as his sword is taken from him.

Pm'd Shyla. Will give her til tomorrow afternoon to post.

Without having another option, Suri just continues to attack the enemy with her fangs and claws.

+1 Bite, Flanking, Haste: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 32 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

+4 on attack and damage rolls vs. humans & +2 on attack and damage rolls vs. evil outsiders.

Shayla decides to give her melee approach one more try. Maybe she just wasn't swinging her swords hard enough.

+1 Adamantine Sawtooth Saber, TWF, Flanking, Haste: 1d20 + 13 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 13 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 28 Damage, Dirty Fighter: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12

+1 Adamantine Sawtooth Saber, TWF, Flanking, Haste: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 19 Damage, Dirty Fighter: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12
+1 Mithral Sawtooth Saber, TWF, Flanking, Haste: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 8 - 2 + 2 + 1 = 25 Damage, Dirty Fighter: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

+4 on attack and damage rolls vs. humans & +2 on attack and damage rolls vs. evil outsiders.

"Did anyone try cold iron yet?" she asks, frustrated by hard it is to damage the enemy.

Jory nods... "I started with cold iron, then adamantine, now the regular stuff."

"With a fiery sword in hand, it screams of the Nine Hells to me. Or was it the Abyss? I can't really make the difference. What I mean is, try holy if you can." assumes the sorcerer, still gloating over his small victory.

Suri connects twice but is unable to leave a scratch on the thing. Shylara hits twice but only barely manages to wound it.

It casts a spell defensively.

Concentraion: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Then flies over to touch Shandor.

Jory keeps up his barrage, except he only fires four arrows this time. His archery fingers are getting tired, and the grease from his sandwich is still on his fingers a bit.

1 normal: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 161d8 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
2 normal: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 231d8 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

4 normal: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 181d8 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Don't forget haste, and don't forget your AoO if his movement provoked from you.

I'm reserving my action once I know what spell he cast.

-Posted with Wayfinder

"Suri, stay back!" Shayla commands.

Suri delays.

Shayla sheathes her mithral sword and casts lead blades on herself to increase the melee damage she can deal.

The spell is plane shift.

Jory unloads but is unable to hit the being but Buck gets a good hit in!

The being moves away towards the entrance then casts a spell.

Shandor lurks in the shadows, flying invisibly, ready to cast a spell to interrupt whatever it is the extraplanar has in store for the Pathfinders.

Ready action: Shandor will cast ear-piercing scream if the extraplanar attempts to cast a spell, attack or move (the first thing that happens during his turn. Fort DC 21 negates the dazing effect and halves the sonic damage
