[PbPGameDayV] Captive in Crystal (Inactive)

Game Master Tesi

Wembly stands amazed. Wondering if the woman has any idea how long she has been here.

That is a great trick, Kiti. I will have to try that sometime.

Elain should have prepared and cast prestidigitation instead of light this morning after spending a night in his pajamas especially when he's carrying a heightened continual flame on a gem in his backpack

"Mirror" he calls as he reaches to his backpack. However the set of thieves tools is all that comes forward into his hand. He looks at them in some surprise "Oh "

He thinks a moment and then asks Sorrina "What year do you make it does time flow strangely in this womb"

i really hate when life gets in the way. I promiseto more active. Sigh. Work got me all tangled up

Sorrina grabs the mirror from Kiti's hand, gently. She looks at her face, her expression betrays some surprise. Then she half smiles.

"Ten years are enough to transform a human into an oread. Interesting."

She chuckles softly, she looks like she keeps everything under control.

“Soon after I arrived, the fey guardians and I negotiated a deal, allowing me to remain as long as I pleased so long as I did not trespass in the library’s deepest reaches. With Nethys’s magic, I created my own meals, yet long ago my hunger for knowledge supplanted my hunger for food.”

She says while she gives the mirror back to Kiti.

"Thank you brave one."

“As you may know I cannot leave the archive since I have not yet discovered the location of Sairazul’s Tears, though I have traced where that information might appear: an area I am forbidden to enter, called the Sapphire Stacks. The fey guard it vigilantly, though I have not seen them recently.”

She studies the nearby pillars for a moment before adding,

“Several of these hum with dissonant tales, and this one has developed surface cracks, almost as if the Lucent Archive were suffering. I had assumed that the fey were giving me room to work, but perhaps they are instead combating this malady instead.”

Looks at the rest of you.

"So... Any plan?" ten years gone, her adventurer ways are still there.

Iso scratches at the back of his neck.

"Iso thinks that pathfinders must go to Sapphire stacks. But how will Iso and companions search these stacks for Sairazul's tears?"

He shrugs. "Iso wonders what these tears look like and whether they are there, or just more trails to follow. Iso is good at following trails!"

Sorrina hesitates before answering.

“I have never been inside one of the towers, and if the information contained within is physically anchored, you may need to research and transcribe it as best you can. If there is a way to disrupt the wards, that might provide me a chance to enter and find what we need. If you can extract the records in a way that won’t harm them, that would be simplest. Once you have seen and overcome any dangers within, we can
assess the best course of action.”

"We will do our best. And then you can come back with us? ."

Wembly smiles in optimistic enthusiasm.

Iso burps, and the smell of wolf pie wafts through the chamber.

"Iso wonders about towers. Are Sapphire stacks towers? Iso also wonders what wards look like and how Iso might disrupt them. Iso also wonders how information is physically anchored. Iso has seen no boat. Iso also notes he is underground which is not a normal place for boats."

Kiti takes the mirror back, and looks surprised when Sorrina thanks her for it.

"Oh, it's nothing, just an easy spell. But, towers, there are many? How far are they? I am prepared against nasty fey, I have a cold iron scimitar and all. I met some earlier. What do you know about the dangers in the towers? How big are they? You are looking for Sairazul's Tears, what exactly are those? What do they look like?" Kiti blurts out a series of questions, while looking at herself from the simple mirror.

"What's the nature of the contamination. I would prefer not to fight with the Fey not against them."

would prefer to sort out the problem and then discuss master of spells later

"Just let us know where you want us, and we will go. Not use to working in a group so often. So let us know where you need our skills"

-Posted with Wayfinder

Sorry folks. I've been up to my neck in work. I will update later today.

I usually found fey to be friendly, at least back in my early home in the Sanos forest.

Several especially large, octagonal formations jut from the bottom of the Lucent Archive. Unlike the other prisms, these are hollow and contain one or more rooms each.

Sorrina speaks with a deep voice.

"I believe that tower holds the secret we seek."

The tower has a high-peaked set of double doors made from blue-tinted glass and silver. Only the tower’s northernmost facets are visible, for the rest of the structure is within the cavern’s wall. As she approaches within 100 feet of the towers, Sorrina’s stony flesh begins to crack and fleck. Sorrina groans in pain.

"My transformation has left me vulnerable to the stronger wards here; I can become a liability if the wards become stronger. I will wait here and cast any spells you need before proceeding."

OK folks Sorryna is a cleric of Nethys. She can cast each of the following once: aid, air walk, bear’s endurance, imbue with spell ability (protection from evil [DC 16], sanctuary [DC 16], cure moderate wounds), magic vestment, make whole, remove fear, and shield of faith. Use the discussion thread, and when you have an agreement, let me know who gets what and the order of casting.

"Oh, spells! I should cast mine, then, too. I don't have that many but these are nifty still. Mimi, come here! Time for magic! The teeth, the skin, the feet. Done!" Kiti says and touches both herself and Mimi three times with her juniper twig, throwing a bit of sand on the third touch.

Longstrider, Greater magic fang and Barskin on Kiti & Mimi.

"I have still one barky skin and the no-fire or no-ice remaining. Sorrina, do the fey use fire? Cold? Acid? Something?"

Wembly has no spells to cast, other than protection from evil upon himself and Whiskers. He will extend both using his metamagic rod.

Great idea, Kiti. Lady Sorrina, besides those questions what else can you tell us about who we may face? Any traps or tricks? Do we need extra rope or are there alot of stairs? Is it flat? Any water? What about non-fey creatures? Normal animals and the like?

Elain looks alarmed at the problems Sorrina is facing and looks at his own hands carefully Hoping the plot device that affects Sorrina doesnt extend to native elemental outsiders such as Sylphs

Elain will tap him self with his wand of mage armour and then pack that and his mithril pajamas away. "A protection from evil for me if no one else wants it Make that one of the last spells" says Elain

Iso flexes his arms and belches loudy.

"Any spells that Sorrina can use to make Iso tougher in battle are Good."

"I have a spell for my little Serket..." he leans down, his hand glows, as it does, so does her pincers
"There you go. All done. Not as powerful as the others may have, but it helps"

Magic Fang

Triangular designs etch the floor of this octagonal chamber, whose smooth walls of bluish crystal rise eighty feet to a peaked, eight-sided dome. A pair of two-foot-tall triangular daises of blue-tinged stone stands between double doors set into the north and south walls. Stacks of hundreds of inch-thick glassy plates tower higher than the doorframes.

Four feeric creatures armed with heavy picks scream in your direction.

Iso, somewhat expecting trouble readies his axe to attack the first hostile appearing creature than comes within the range of his axe!

readied attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
cold iron and magical damage: 1d12 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

"Iso does not want to hurt you!" he calls out, ready to hurt anyone who looks like they might want to hurt him or his companions.

Elain also gets to act in surprise round as a tricksy foresight wizard action waits for D to act but a knowledge check and casting gravity bow if fight has already broken out otherwise will follow Iso's lead

Sorry Elain, forgot about that.

Whiskers grabs the Pech.

The pech throws another wave of magic energy at Mimi.

Pech D Attack on Mimi: 1d20 + 13 - 6 ⇒ (13) + 13 - 6 = 20
Damage on Mimi: 3d6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 3, 2) + 8 = 19

The huge feline has a gash open in his flank. It may not take another hit like that.

Seeing aggression all around, Iso steps forward and starts to ply his axe!

"Don't Hurt Big Pussy!" he screams at the pick wielding creatures.

range, power attack, flank, haste: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 15
damage(magic, cold iron): 1d12 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27

Mimi's AC is now 25, touch 14, flat 21 due to the barkskin. Kiti is 29, 13 touch, 26 flat. Just noticed Mimi stat block does not give these.

Mimi also has +1 from haste.

prescience: 1d20 ⇒ 10
Elain disregards the ordinary futur steps in front of prism and shoots three arrows at C using his bow

Bow attack: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 2 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 12 + 1 - 2 - 4 + 1 = 23

Bow attack: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 2 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 1 - 2 - 4 + 1 = 10

gravity bow damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 6) + 7 = 14

haste, rapid shot, cover pbs

Attack rolls were 22 and 23, so they land on Mimi. The elemental attack from Pech D does not hit, tho. Damage has changed for Mimi, and has -29hp.

THEMAPTHEMAPTHEMAP

Iso swings his axe, missing the pech by inches.

Elain's arrows fly, and one finds its mark. Elain notices that his arrow did not do as much damage as expected.

Pech A Attack on Mimi: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Pech B Attack on Mimi: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Damage Pech A on Mimi: 1d4 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
Damage Pech A on Mimi: 1d4 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

Luckily for Kiti's furry friend, the pechs seem distracted because of Iso's scream, giving the tiger a chance for counter attacking.

I am not sure which letter Whiskers had grabbed last round, but she will release it anyway. Assuming it did not cast etc

Seeing Mimi under attack and injured, Wembly guides Whiskers to attack the injured Pech (C)

Whiskers, help out Mimi... he points to the injured Pech

Whiskers bite, haste: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 = 27
for dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 grab

Whiskers bite, haste: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 1 = 22
for dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 grab

Wembly spear: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
for spear: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Switch to B if C drops

"Mimi! Wait, I'll come to help!" Kiti cries, and runs around one of the enemies.

"Now, bite this meanie!" she orders, waving her small scimitar at an enemy, distracting it a bit.

All attacks with greater magic fang, flank and haste. Target enemy A, switch to C if A drops.

Mimi bite attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 31
Mimi bite damage: 1d8 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 1 = 17

Kiti Knowledge: Nature (DC 21): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27

First terrible bite is enough to drop Pech A, so Mimi claws through C. Second bite and second claw land on the creature, but don't do the damage expected.

It should be dead!

Kiti, what do you want to know of the Pech's? They have DR Cold Iron. If magic fang bypasses this DR, please let me know.

Whiskers finishes the job, mauling the poor creature (C). The floor of the luscent archive becomes brown with feeric blood. Then he turns to the other assailant (B)

Pech D Attack on Mimi: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
Damage on Mimi: 3d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 5, 2) + 8 = 18

prescience: 1d20 ⇒ 2
Elain edges forward and fires 3 cold iron arrows at B disregarding the terrible future for the first arrow

1st arrow: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 25
2nd arrow: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 4 = 21

2nd arrow damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 6) + 7 = 15
3rd arrow damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 3) + 7 = 15

If the either of the first 2 shots finish B then switch to D at -1 to hit and -1 damage as lack of point blank shot come into play

Third arrow goes to D then, since C falls.

"Good, now that one! Hey pechy, give up, why did you even attack us? Mimi, go around, let's go together! " The tiger circles around as the gnome charges forward, and in unison they hit the remaining enemy.

Kiti attack, charge, flank, cold iron: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 20

Iso charges over to the closest Pech, allowing his rage to fuel his axework.

"Bad creature! No Hurt People!" he froths.

PA, rage,charge,haste: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 33

bonus damage?: 2d12 + 32 ⇒ (5, 2) + 32 = 39

It's kind of hard to tell with the froth from Iso's mouth and stops and the bloody mess from the result of his axe blow starts.

Yuck.

Wembly wishes he had his goggles down when the spray from that last hit from Iso.

Uh, yeah. I think that was a very convincing argument Iso!

Wembly assumes there is nothing left of the Pech and will ride up to help Kiti and Mimi if their opponent is still standing.

Aww come on. Only rolled 2,2 and 5 on d12s. That could have been much worse!

Yep - if the crit hits, that is worthy of a favorite u

The small gnome and green cat move to the last standing Pech.

Wembly spear: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Damage on Whiskers: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 4, 1) + 6 = 12

Iso launches another series of axe blows at the last Pech.

He has given up speaking, letting his raging muscles do the talking for him.

PA, rage, , haste: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 1 = 28

I see B is still up on map. Iso will move to D if B is now down, and only get one attack, but at +2 from flanking. (he'll move to SW of the Pech)
