PFS: Tomb of the Iron Medusa (Inactive)

Game Master drbuzzard

this one

no but that one should work

I must to bed early, covering early shift tomorrow. I shan't be able to come home for lunch tomorrow (Monday) -- feel free to bot Duhwoo, DrBuzz. On his profile, there are handy copy-and-paste templates, set up under the 'spoiler' tabs, should make it easier...

Okey doke.

..bloodthirsty bards, FTW.

For the record, I'm Andoran... I always prefer redemption to killing things (cue hushed snickers from the audience)

Does ghost salts apply only to physical damage, or does it apply to energy/holy too?

Also, can you add the map links maybe under campaign info tab? Would be convenient.

I decided that it would be easier to assume that due to ghost salts it all applies. I'm lazy.

I'll work on the map thing.

recast false life

1d10 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

I will be starting work shortly

But if you need to bot me u will swift action start my inspire courage plus discordant voice, move out of range of AOO to cast I have plus 28 acro to avoid any aoos
Then I will cast cast cocophonous call mass on all of them dc 23 will failed and they are nauseated for 14 rds. This is mind effecting

Also I threaten 10 ft and am +21 to hit for d4+8+ 1d6 shock+1d6 acid+1d6 sonic and 2 bleed

Strikethrough: [ s ] [ /s ] (no spaces)

Sadly, I don't think elementals bleed.

No they don't but the thing you sploded would have

Probably a waste of a level 5 spell but I well.

Should I hold the wand?

.... uhh, are we handwaving the combat, or should we continue to roll attacks?

Edit: Sorry, missed your top line in the post. Lets say I spent 10 arrows then.

I will assume 3 additional rounds of rage used up wiping out puking elementals in the hand-waved combat -- thus a total of 4 rounds of rage used for the day so far..

I know you can fail but that us what Vuvu says. I think it is smarter for everyone to have some swarm control

Is it me or is this going a lot slower than Academy? I know there's more options here, but people don't seem to be moving things along.

It is slower. I know that I am SLAMMED. So that has me slowed down

So I have just been following duhwoo and I know he posts slower cause of work.

I think we have this room covered so let's move to another but I can't look at the map here so I don't know what that room is

Maybe a little slower..Ive been busy this week is why my posts are lacking.. I have no clue how big this mod is, but it seems like we're making ok progress..

You've got three big buildings (of which you have already entered one, it had the medusa on the floor) and then one more sepulcher which you entered and found a tomb which was written on legibly unlike the rest.

I find these things usually go slower then when MiniGM ran it. That was a fairly fast pace.

So, shall we just head to the next closest unexplored building?

That would be the sepulcher with the anomalous tomb that you did not open.

At this point your options come down to
A) step on medusa face in big building (there are three like buildings)
or
B) Open anomalous tomb

Remind me why it was anomalous...

It had a legible inscription.

Let us go there...

Agree! Just got home

Reprinting description:

Marcus Iulius Adella, 3711–3758, Great Patriarch of Our Clan, Died Valiantly at the Battle of Istavala Vale Saving Prince Abelard from the Undead Hordes of the Whispering Tyrant, Earning the King’s Gratitude. Herein Lies Our Claim to Nobility. May Great Woe Befall Any Who Would Violate His Most Sacred Rest

This is the one you are talking about DrBuzzard?

I was having some difficulty keeping up during Academy: the pace for Iron Medusa seems to have been OK so far...

However, I am starting two weeks of vacation tomorrow! As such, I'll be in the air most of the day tomorrow (not too different than when I'm at work all day); after that I expect to be checking in with much higher frequency during the day...

Yes, that is the inscription.

are we going to check the urns or armor?

Duhwoo ain't got no time fer checkin' trash heaps -- we'll come back to it later

WOW! good thing you stopped to check...

jeez 27 posts!

"You know you're in a high level game when...

...someone uses a summon monster II to open a door"

lol

I used a 4th level spell to do it

WerePox, the suspense is killing me! Take your turn :)

I have no target.. There were statues described.. Not any baddies..

Oh i see the pic now.. Regardless Buzz said i didnt see anything..

Buzz. I like it.

Alright, so I'll go and we'll say you take your turn after me, to move things along.

So how does a Taldan nobel get a half fiendish medusa to work for him. I'm trying to imagine Vars swinging that.

Just have to deal with the right people(devils). Not quite sure Vars would be game for that. He's rather not fond of evil outsiders.

Back when I played this it was with made up for it characters, and in that case the note didn't hold a lot of impact. I'm not really sure what I'd do with it on Vars if I played it with him currently. He doesn't much care for things which will harm the empire, but Stavian III is something of a worthless sack of flesh.

.
'tis fortunate indeed there is a Taldan on hand with more clue than Duhwoo!

So you mean "another Taldan"

Ok whos Stavian

And you call yourself Quadiran!

Stavian III is the current emperor of Taldor. Stavian I was the second in the current line.

From the background on modules which you never get to learn:

In the end, only two Adellas survived
the shame and fall of the three
clans—Bartolomae’s younger brother
Cadimus and his beautiful sister
Lucretia, the secret mistress to a powerful
nobleman named Micheaux. Times were
hard upon the last Adellas, and while they
tried mightily to atone for their kin’s crimes, fate was not
done with the family.
It was in Lucretia’s illicit affair with Micheaux that the
siblings saw a final chance at salvation, for just as the Adella
star was crashing and burning, Micheaux’s was on the rise.
Rumors at court held that he was about to be named the
new Crown Prince, as the current ruler of Taldor, Beldam
II, was both childless and deathly ill. When Lucretia
became pregnant, the siblings confronted Micheaux and
threatened to go public with the affair unless he took in
the son as his own.
Micheaux initially agreed to the bargain, but then
Lucretia died giving birth to her son at the Lion Sleeps Inn
in southern Taldor not 1 week before Micheaux gained the
Taldan crown. The nobleman took the child, Stavian I, and
informed Cadimus that if he was still in Taldor by dawn, he
would be executed as a traitor, the last treacherous scion of
a disgraced family. With no options remaining, Cadimus
loaded his sister in a coffin, and with his one remaining
servant, fled south.

Now the PFS police will be after me for showing you too much information.

Questioning the legitimacy of a sitting emperor is not usually good for one's health.

what is the next module? is there one?
