PFS: Tomb of the Iron Medusa (Inactive)

Game Master drbuzzard

Well, did we want explore these coffins, or shall we head immediately in? I favor the latter

"Thats fine, lets go.." Looking around first of coarse..

Perc: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 40 Detect Magic, True Sight

"I sez "leave no stone unturned'd"-- well, actully sumbuddy else sed that, prob'ly a long time ago, an' they mighta been talkin' bout rocks...

Duhwoo will start looking in all the caskets, starting with the big one in th middle.

You find nothing but the remains of small children. Many of the caskets have multiple residents. There are no treasures present.

"Dang, there ain't no toys or nuthin' -- reckon these here kidz died o' boredom! Alright, guys, ever'body get 'way from th' door: git ready t' talk to another elly-mental, will ya, Miss Starseeker?"

another air elemental from the [so]wand o' trap springing[/so]...

Good thing they were dead Woo, I don't suppose they are too bored now.

Avoreal commands the elemental to open the door when its summoned..

A large rug of Qadiran design features prominently in the
center of this room. The chamber’s ceiling rises to a height
of twenty-five feet. Ice cakes the stone doors to the east and
west, unlike the doors to the north and south.

make sure everyone is situated on the map in order

init: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Does a 5' grid descend from the heavens?

Yea i dont see my token on the map to move.. She would be behind Lithuan..

Avoreal casts Greater Invis before entering the next room.. She also bump her wis +6 as a swift action..

Init: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Perc: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (6) + 24 = 30 Detect Magic, True Sight
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (6) + 28 = 34

Added a token for you

From where you two are standing, you see a nice carpet.

Yea i think we're waiting on Woo and Vuvu before moving in

Pffft... the last carpet that was purposely described in an adventure I played was just a vehicle for a spell/trap. I will now endorse the wild theory it's a really giant sepia snake sigil

Vuvu moves forward, ready to act

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 Init

we'll bot Woo.
He head up to the doorway and takes a gander at the room.

perception: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21

There are doors to the North, East, and West. The doors to the East and West are both covered in a layer of ice.

.
Then Duhwoo will dash in to the left along the wall -- and if Fly is still on, along the ceiling -- to the southwest corner of the room...

Avoreal will head in after, flying to the right along the wall.. Taking a gander..

Perc: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (17) + 24 = 41
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (2) + 28 = 30

She uses her augment ability to up her nat armor by +3 for 7rds..

Vuvu follows letting the more perceptive do their thibg

Lithuan will fly into the center, keeping an eye on the treacherous rug.

Perception, Echolocation: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (9) + 25 = 34

The fly has a couple of hours on it. By my reckoning, the resist fire only has a few more minutes on it

You rug looks at you funny, but does nothing. Of course that could just be the illustration.

"Lussee whut happ'ns to this l'il feller..."

this time an Earth Elemental from the wand o' trap springing wand o' Summon Monster II -- right in the middle of the rug!

The elemental appears and starts looking at you since it sees no threats.

.
Duhwoo nods his head in a way to say follow my lead, then pounds on the ice in front of the ice-encrusted west door with his fist...

"Like this, boy!"

It appears to shrug its shoulders, ambles over to the west door and beats on it to little effect before disappearing as the spell expires.

"Good boy!"

And Duhwoo will examine the wall a little closer, to see ifmhe can determine themsource of the ice...

Duhwoo's Perception check: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (9) + 19 = 28

"Reckon we gotta find them thar controls fer the cryogenic suspension unit!"

Lithuan flies up and attempts to push open the north door

Strength check?
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Duwoo: You feel cold radiating from the other side of the door as if it is extremely cold in there (yes, I know technically cold cannot radiate since it is an absence of heat, but you folks are primitive medieval screwheads so go with it).

Lithuan: The north door is a solid slab of stone. There is, however, the normal medusa face which you have come to associate with the door opening mechanism.

Errr... K(planes) on the door? Could it be a planar effect? Arcana?

"Mebbe we kin shut down the coldifying ee-fect from that north room, Lithuan. Ya wanna 'nother elly-mental?"

I harbor some concern that opening the door will in turn trigger these side doors to open and unleash whatever the hold. Yet, we are even now warded against magical cold, so perhaps my fears are overwrought. Let us try an elemental to open this north door

You roll plenty of knowledge checks to realize there must be something very cold on the other side of the door.

"Git reddy, Miss Starseeker!"

Another Air Elemental from the wand o' Summon Monster II...

"Tell 'm ta open th' north door!"

Please not me as needed off to the last chunk of my 18 hour day

She tells the elemental to open the northern door..

The ceiling of this room is fifteen feet high. Large arched
niches fill the east and west walls; various bones are mortared
into the niches in artfully arranged patterns, and each is
packed with the jawless skulls of countless humans. Each skull
has a name painted on its surface, along with dates of birth
and death. A ragged hole in the ground to the northeast drops
into what appears to be an even deeper cavern.

"Lets try the other 2 areas before heading down there? Or should we give it a shot? I suppose i could summon up some shadow demons to take a look on the other sides of those walls if yall want.."

Never done any summoning before 6th level spells and even then not much.. I can summon anything 1 step from my alignment right? So being CN i can summon CE stuff right?

Well, this is going to take awhile to search...

I believe an arcanist can summon anything. A divine caster would be restricted by alignment descriptors on the spell, if they opposed his alignment or his gods

bone devil, elemental, azata, and mastadon are all pretty good (although a mastadon opening a door is iffy :)

Yea i was thinking of going for the 6th level guys with my 7th level spell.. I can get 1d3 shadow demons.. Thats pretty stout.. Or i could get 1d4+1 Bralani Azatas from the 5th list.. What Azata is 7th? i dont see one.. My reasoning for the shadow demons is that they could go throught the wall.. And immune to cold..

Well, let's do something before Duhwoo gets bored :)

The ticking time bomb

Avoreal casts Summon Monster VII calling 2 Shadow Demons forth to do her bidding.. Once there she will command 1 each to go through the wall and see whats on the other side, reporting back after.. She sends 1 to the right and 1 to the left..

Summon: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Right Demon Perc: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 20 = 21
Left Demon Perc: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25

Right Stealth: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
Left Stealth: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

They have 100' Telepathy btw.. And if they can get into a shadow they turn invis making there stealth +20 higher

Know Planes Left: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
Know Planes Right: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

"Ah don't wanna skip these rooms here -- an' Ah don't wanna hafta come on back here -- so lut's check'm out as soon as them freaky dee-mon thingys report whut they sees..."

with the Scholar's Ring, Duhwoo will be able to follow whatever the Demons report -- unless they use telepathy or something...

I am partial to Duhwee myself but that is impressive. Vuvu says in response to the shadow demons

What have you summons found, Mistress Starseeker?
