[PFS/Shifty] Serpents Rise (Core) (Inactive)

Game Master Nik B.

Marnarius see the glittering form above being scorched and grabbed and roars joyfully. "NOW I GET TO EVEN THE SCORE!"

Swift to study my pal Master Zey, a charge to get me close by and an attack to make me feel better.

Longsword vs Aram Zey (Heroism, Charge, Studied Target, PA): 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 14 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 32
Damage vs Aram Zey (Studied Target, PA, Vicious): 1d8 + 7 + 4 + 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 4 + (1, 6) + 2 = 21
Damage vs Self: 1d6 ⇒ 6

"It's is time to die... Aram Zey!" says 322 softly before summoning primordial darkness torn out from the void itself and evenloping the mage witth it.

Interstellar void: 7d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 1, 6, 3, 5) = 23 Fortitude save DC17 for half

Self explanatory I guess

322 tries calling the void.
Fort 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Aram is neatly engulfed by the frigid touch of space!

Jolly warms him up though, with two flaming strikes!

Marnarius closes in and tries gutting the Wizard, but finds a lot of the strike absorbed by an unusually stony skin.

The Ambitious gets in and grabs the Wizard!

AZ 76+Sparkles!

Aram looks shocked at the viciousness of the assault.
He chants.

-Cast in a grapple 1d20 + 11 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 11 + 7 + 4 = 35 vs DC 29
-Defensive. 1d20 + 11 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 7 + 4 = 28 vs DC 23

He vanishes from the Ambitious grasp and reappears across the room!

Wow, he had some baaaad rolls and you guys had some good ones. Too bad he failed his perception check to hear you guys coming and didn't thus get prep time :(

Oh no you don't!

Move Action
Rataji moves closer to Aram Zey. He has a cunning plan. Movement noted on map.

Standard Action
Rataji looks at The Dragon and winks. Have fun! He casts Telekinetic Charge on The Dragon. I can't move him right next to Aram Zey, but I can get him close enough to be able to 5 foot and full attack. I put a Green indicator for where I want him to end up.

rounds until I can breathe again: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

The Dragon flies over to Aram's new location, opens his mouth wide, and crunches down on yummy wizard.

bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

The dragon is launched at Aram Zey!

It equally finds the skin hard to puncture...

That was your immediate action, it is now still your turn - Dragon! :p

AZ 78

Double move

With a gleeful grin, The Dragon goes to work on Arum. Tooth, Claw, wings, the whole works.

bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
claw2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
wing: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
wing2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

And I'l lroll damage for all, and let the GM work out what hits!
bite: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
claw: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
claw2: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
wing: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
wing2: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Wizard tastes good!"

So does air apparently, why do I think that is going to be five misses?
Rounds until acid: 3

Readies magic missile for when he next tries to cast a spell
magic missile: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 4) + 4 = 19
Hopefully waiting a long time

The Dragon looks dead impressive, but nothing finds its mark!

322 flies at the wizard. Her hands suddenly covered with a dark flames consuming all light around them she tries to touch Aram Zey...

Touch attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 -> Inflict Serious Wounds: 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (2, 7, 1) + 7 = 17

Move near Aram Zey cast Inflict Serious Wounds

322 flies in and lays in a touch of negative energy...

Will 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29

But the worst of it is avoided.

"Slippery bastard."

Swift action and move action: swop flexibility for point blank shot and precise shot. He draws his bow at the same time.

composite bow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

The arrow strikes but does little damage, The Master of Scrolls steps back and begins casting...which triggers Jolli's missile swarm.

Aram Zey is half way through the words of command, about to unleash his major spells when the swarm of force bolts cuts him short.

He falls to the ground, bleeding out.

[ooc[Great rolls from the prepared party this combat, bad rolls for poor Aram, the diceroller really didn't like him much at all[/ooc]

Marnarius lifts the man up by the scalp from behind. "And in case there was any doubt about where I stand; go f$&% yourself dirtbag." he grunts into the master of spell's ear before stabbing him through the back with his serrated sword.

A silver trail emerges from him as the life leaks from him, and when he finally bleeds out, it leaves him like a wisp of smoke swirling up from and extinguished candle. It changes direction and moves toward the experiment - and into her pocket.

The sky key is in the middle of the room, surrounded by a glass cube, a whitish circle, and a velvet rope.

Mr. Z takes his tongue. The boys back home will never believe this.

And The Dragon dines on a chunk of the rest of him.

"Hey! Back off man. We could sell that as an aphrodisiac to some Tien noblemen for a small vault."

Rataji casts Detect Magic near the Sky Key and not directly on it to see if there are magical wards around it. Then, after that is checked, he points his Detect Magic spell on the Sky Key itself, hoping that there is overwhelming magic emanating from it so that he is sure it is authentic.

"Bah. To eat a powerful enemy is to come into some of their power. Puny men who need to eat delicacies in order to rut do not deserve to dine on such."

The slayer shrugs. "Salt him and take him as a snack for all I care" he quips with an evil smile and approaches Rataji deferentially. "You did good by me, and I won't forget it, by my word. So what do you want me to do; snatch the thing?" he asks, taking a look at the fabled Sky Key. "Looks like a piece of Numerian junk to me."

The various protective magics are more to contain the powers of the device than to protect it from theft, so it eventuates all that was needed was to smash the glass and take off with the Sky Key.

***

As you make good on your escape, a second team of Aspis agents approaches and the lead operative flashes a silver Aspis badge while saying, “Nicely done. I figured we’d be late to the party, but its still five fingers till Oathday.” The last part of this statement is the code phrase that identified them as the agents responsible for carrying the Sky Key to its next objective.

As the you escape the Grand Lodge, wyvarans, yetis, extraplanar humans, and more rush about the walled campus attacking their Pathfinder oppressors, releasing more of the caged menagerie, and setting fire to structures.

Only a short while later, the northwest tower of Skyreach tears free from the castle and begins gently floating and orbiting the campus. Over the course of several hours, the Pathfinder Society gradually subdues most of their assailants, restores some semblance of order, and even recovers the Sky Key. These are nevertheless hollow victories, for the Society’s access to the Hao Jin Tapestry demiplane is crippled, the Master of Spells is forever dead, and the Grand Lodge that was once the pristine home for Pathfinders worldwide is scarred and scorched.

***

The Aspis Consortium celebrates the groups success. Each of you receives a missive from your contact, congratulating you on a job well done.

The Aspis operative group have played a key role in ending an era of Pathfinder Society aggression and heralding a new age of Aspis Consortium dominance. You shall each receive compensation as promised, and in the coming months,the Aspis will certainly have more work for the team.

Thats a wrap!

Hurrah. And Dinner provided.

Thanks for the game Shifty. I must say the final battle went much easier this time than the first time I played it!

I got the chronicle, and it looks good.

That final battle is significantly harder if he hears you (I rolled terribad) or you trigger the trap...

Great game really enjoyed it good group and gm = win

A pleasure you all! See you in another thread!

That final battle is significantly harder if he hears you (I rolled terribad) or you trigger the trap...

Re-Re-Revenge!

Mr. Z makes with his big smile.

Thanks everyone sorry for the lack of posting but the last 2 days have been a veritable nightmare at work. Anyway we did it! Great game hope to have a chance to be playing with all of you again soon!
