[PbP Gameday IV] GM Kashka's 5-01 The Glass River Rescue (Inactive)

Game Master Andrew Torgerud

Echo's head lowers and a grin spreads across her face. A low growl escapes her lips as she runs forward and leaps over the swarm landing next to a surprised devil.

Echo nimbly flips over the swarm of spiders, avoids the claw of the lemure, and the bite of the accuser... but it appears to have taken all her mental abilities as she misses the flying devil.

The swarm of spiders start to lurch towards its fleeing prey. the second move would provoke but your weapons appear useless.

The swarm covers three party members, and Bleys takes the worst of it as the constant swarming nauseated him. Delzden also seems to be affected by their poison.

At Lucious's taunts, Teplebaas screams an unholy curse, steps away from echo and disappears... only to appear next to Lucious snarling at him.

Ula looks down the barrel of her wand, and then looks around the room frantically figuring out where to launch her summoned creature knowing full well that her original planned summoning spot probably isn't where it should go. She frantically points to the space beyond the Devil and watches in awe as a full sized horse squeezes into the space between it and the wall. She says cheerfully, "Sorry horse."

Finish full round cast from wand - Mount
Have fun with that image AJ.

Ula drops the wand which skitters across the floor and away from her, as if controlled by an unseen force.

Instantly another wand appears in her hand, which she uses on Bleys.

Lucius thinks quickly stepping back, away from the accuser devil. He grins, and says, "Oh, my! Isn't Echo here the most lovely thing you have ever seen? I don't know how anyone could keep their hands off of her. I mean, I can keep my hands off, because she has asked me not to, but it is such a struggle. Don't you think so, Teplebaas? Just look at her... so firm, so strong, so perfect!"

Casts Unnatural Lust on the devil. DC20 he must go grope Echo.

Lucius then winks at Echo.

Fortitude save vs. poison: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

"Hey blobby! Care for a slice?" Delzden jokes as he swings his cold iron meteor hammer and whacks the odd demon creature, trying to trip it.

Trip: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

He then moves away from the spiders, urging others to deal with the swarm.

+1 shield AC from meteor hammer till next round

[provoking AOO] Mor'Targh, disliking the devil teleporting back beside him again, rushes past Lucius, and stops beside the spiders.

"القيام كله كوخ
يا نحن على النار
نحن على النار" He shouts at the swarm!

Burning Hands! Reflex DC 16: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 1) = 8

The dread Lemure falls in a slimey heap.

The swarm is vaporized in Mor'Targh's fire and poofs out of existance.
The fire flows over the Lemure, but he seems unaffected.

Bleys is still vomiting from the spiders that are no longer in his mouth. He attempts to flee from the lemure, provoking.

Echo's strike looks like it was almost perfect... but does not all go through subject to update based on Delzden aoo

Teplebaas takes a glance at echo, shakes it off and goes for the focus of his rage.

Delzden is swift to do swing his weapon all around, changing his grip of the weapon to properly use both ends of the enigmatic flail, smashing the lemure as well as he can. Meteor mode

Ula whinnies at the horse before yelling, "LOOK AT MY HORSE, MY HORSE IS AMAZING!" while pointing at it and urging it on to attack Teplebass.

I do not have handle animal, AJ you decide what the horse does

Then she reels around before realizing that she's stuck between a rock (Delzen) and a hard place (the bee devil) she tries to convince the Devil otherwise, "Grrarrgh, rarrrgh, I'm a devil too."

Bluff: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

She then touches Mor'Targh with the wand in her outstretched hand before looking utterly exhausted.

CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Lucius swears in his native tongue, which sounds like a lot of squeaking to Ula. He then carefully casts a spell.
concentration DC17: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Bright flashes of lights in all colors flare out from his outspread fingertips, bathing the devil and the mount.
Color Spray DC17 Will or blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds (I assume the GM will roll, since we wouldn't know how long), then 1 round stunned.

Bleys will move up 25' and cast shocking grasp on Lemure. Melee touch attack.

melee touch attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 184d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 6, 3) = 17

Bleys will move up 25' and cast shocking grasp on Lemure. Melee touch attack.

So you first cast shocking grasp, keep the charge in your hand, then move and deliver the touch attack, right?

Delzden goes off on the Lemure, smack it hard once, but it doesn't all go through.. and his second attack seemed to do nothing.

The Horse does attack the little devil to no success.

Bleys casts his spell, moves in and zaps the Lemure dead.

"Ok, now that I have him stunned, finish him! Don't waste my spell!"

So glad that one finally succeeded! Wow, 2 of 3 were saved against.

Out of spells, he draws his sword can, steps back, and uses his wand of magic missiles to fire at the stunned devil. MM wand: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Lucius will be moving slowly back, but just fires a couple of magic missiles at the creature.

2* MM: 1d4 + 1 + 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (4) + 1 = 10

"Oh sure, now the creature requires silver. Damn greedy outsiders, he!"

"Why don't you... Pathfinders... have silver weapons? Didn't Marcus Farabellus tell all you martial folks that you need to have silver weapons, cold iron weapons, bludgeoning weapons, slashing weapons and piercing weapons on your person at all times? Plus ranged and melee weapons. And alchemical weapons! I mean, you guys have one job to do here, and that is to hit things with your weapons! Why do I ever bother telling you what to use against them if you are not adequately prepared?

"Bley, Mor'targh, why do we even try?

Echo runs up to the devil, drawing her sword.

Swift action Arcane Strike

As the party goes in for the kill, Delzden bashes it in the head. Echo move in to slice it's stomach, and magic missiles from Bleys and Lucious are enough to knock the devil unconcious for the coup de grace.

combat over The party has a moment to breathe and heal, and Bleys can see the jail cells from where the devils came.

Once they get a moment, Lucius will have Ula use his wand to heal himself.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
"Bleys, Mor'targh, you should get healed. Do you have healing wands of your own?"

He will then use his Pearl of Power to recover the spell Sleep.

Yay, both lucky numbers were used!

Ula recovers the wand she dropped on the floor. You watch it skitter out of her reach once or twice before she nabs it. She stuffs both her wands back into their wrist sheaths before offering to use any other healing devices on her party members. She then walks over to the horse after it stands up, "That was exciting, wasn't it? You should all be glad the horse showed up to save the day!"

"Never needed silver before, he! Cold steel has been enough, but your right, I'm underequipped!" Delzden says with a chuckle and taps Lucius on the back after the battle, "we did okay, still, I just hope none of the people upstairs woke up to this commotion."

"Now let's go see those cells. If they have our rescuables holes up somewhere, jail is the first place to look!"

Echo cleans her blade before sliding it back into its scabbard. She looks over the the dead dead devils, looks at Ula and gives a sharp nod of her head.

She turns the corner to join Delzden as he inspects the cells. She also glances into the room revealed by the secret door when she can.

Lucius gives Ula a very strange look when she talks about the horse saving the day. "Um, Ula, baby? Were you in the same fight that I was? Pretty sure it wasn't the horse that knocked out that bastard of a devil! Still, we just barely survived. I'd suggest you all pick up something like a alchemical silver light mace, or perhaps your favorite martial bludgeoning weapon in silver, before your next adventure. Delzden, you must have been asleep during Farabellus's lectures. I cannot tell you how many times he said to be prepared for everything."

He shakes his head, and says to himself (but not quietly), "Inconceivable!"

Lucius then helps out sweeping the basement, trying to make sure we don't miss anything.

This area is bare save for a rickety side table and chair set against the north wall. A set of keys lies on the table, alongside a browned, half-eaten apple, stale crust of bread, and dull paring knife. Ironbound oaken doors lie on the eastern and western walls, and a door-lined corridor stretches to the south.

While investigating the cells: The door to these jail cells have a small window at eye level, blocked by three vertical iron bars. Matted straw is strewn across the floor, and a set of manacles hangs affixed to the wall opposite the entrance. Two buckets sit at the center of this dank prison.

You find three beaten and frail looking dwarves in the cells and they barely look up at you in the silence.

@Echo looks into the large unlit room that appears to be sentry quarters. The fetid stench in this room is sickening.

"Ah, you chide us," Delzden interrupts, "but as I've observed your magic repertoire, you concentrate almost solely on the spells of the enchantment school. Against mindless creatures, such as common undead, you have little in terms of opposition, other than your wand of magic missiles and a meager flask of holy water."

"But of course I'll heed your and Farabellus' advice! The first thing we get to a shop I'll get myself one of those wands, a silver meteor hammer, flasks of all types and shapes, a magnet, a pair of scissors, and a bulb of garlic; vampires, you see? He!"

In truth, I've forgotten to gear up my characters properly. Delzden has been my least concern, and thus has the worst gear.

Licking his wounds, Mor'Targh takes out his wand of Infernal Healing and heals up the rest of the way. Assuming 2 minutes at least before the next fight

While he does he says to Lucius, "From my angle they did some damage, just unfortunate that it was a devil immune to fire. Or I could have cleared him out with a single spell."

I would like to take 20 searching the secret room. We need to wait for Mor'targh to heal anyway.

Echo finds herself digging through the muck and refuse left by the devils... the Lemure slime coats most of this room with a stickiness and foul odor that prestidigitation might not even get out...

For her efforts.... nothing.

Limping down the cooridor as his magic slowly heals him, Mor'Targh looks at one of the dwarves and cocks his head.

The Dwarf says to him, "a little tusky to be a Razmiran, are you?"

Startled, he says, "wha-! My name is Mor'Targh, I'm here to rescue you! The Pathfinders sent us on request from your countrymen!"

The thin male dwarf speaks. "thank the gods. I am Rakuska..." He trails off a moment to cough. "we bypassed Xer only to be waylaid by a faith barge... they extorted all we had and then attacked us... but we put up a good fight. " He chuckles at his thoughts and coughs again.

"we were hooded and brought to this inn. We were.. interrogated twice by a merciless Razmiri cleric calling himself Holy Ahendile. When he was absent... the mute fed us... if you can call it that.. though he did bring us pastries on occasion."

He sits back to rest for a minute.

Ula walks up behind Mor'Targh and looks at the two weakened Dwarves, "HI THERE! I think I heard you say something about pastries? We fought a pastry just a minute ago. At least I think it was a pastry. Was this the mute guy you're talking about? No? Hmmm, I think maybe we need to get you out of there. But you said cleric didn't you? Where's the key to the door? Where is he now? Why aren't you free yet?"

Ula continues to ramble while everybody else gathers close.

Lucius takes a look at the three captives... sizing them up as it were. "You three dwarves doing ok? Looks like maybe you could use a little healing? Ula, could you check them out, sweetie? Make sure they aren't hurt or anything."

heal: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (2) + 0 = 2

Ula looks over the Dwarves. "They look fine to me." She shrugs unceremoniously and turns her attention from the boring dwarves while following Echo around seeing what she's looking at.

Heal: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (9) - 2 = 7

Bleys will use his Infernal Healing wand on himself till he is fully healed. 3 Charges.

"Malnourished, I presume," Delzden says and scoots over to the table, picking up the half-eaten apple and whatever scrubs he can get. He hauls them over to the door and presents them. "Want these? Not the best for the time being, but we'll get you all out. To the open, back to the ship, or something like that, he!"

"Delzden, we can give our honored guests better treatment than that." Lucius goes into his pack, and looks for trail rations, and realizes he has already used all of his. "So, who has some rations on them? It seems Sappho has eaten all of mine!"

"SQUAWK!!!"

Which we all know is bird for 'what the hell did you just say?'

As the party unlocks the doors, the loud grating of the rusted doors asail your ears. And another male dwarf thanks you "blessing of the diamond sage be with you. Your timely appearance saved our lives."

The final hostage, a female dwarf speaks roughly "I would have gotten out eventually.... just hadn't figured out how to get past the devils. ..."
