Seeing a herd of crusty clanky skeletons raises Mr Pepper's spirits. Finally I get to cast a spell! Shifting his loaded crossbow into one hand he'll move over to where he can best make use of his spray of flames and push forth some extra oomph raising the strength of the blast.
The two skeletons in front of Mr. Peppers can't dodge the flames spewing out of his palms and by the time the inferno stops, they're reduced to two piles of ashes.
Gallix moves closer while feinting a knee and then leaps up in the air while simultaneously cupping his hands together in a massive ball. Raising his his hands together he slams it down on the skeleton.
As the skeletons turn to ashes and piles of bones, the party takes a minute to breathe. Your recovery is short lived, as the raging storm ahead deposits another creature in your midst. The pile of ooze disgustingly slides around, leaving a trail of slime underneath it.
Yup. I just reported #9. We've done the equivalent of what three tables are expected to for Anchor successes, since three are technically needed per table.
The unstoppable group of six you guys should come up with a name brace themselves for more cannon fodder, and just as they do, another creature appears before them. This one is particularly large and yells some indistinguishable words, spitting all the while.
The barbarian and samurai duo charge at the caveman. Uesugi opens him up with a lightning-fast slice of his katana, and Gallix finishes him off by punching him in and through the gaping wound. The creature slumps forward with a growl, adding to the growing battlefield of ooze, bones, and dinosaur flesh.
The anchoring energy is fading, but not quickly enough. You wipe sweat from your brow as a seemingly endless horde of enemies continues to appear before you. This time, another group of four skeletons appear at the bottom of several lightning bolts, holding their scimitars up in anger, almost as if they wish to avenge their undead brethren.
Since Uesugi probably posts on behalf of Gallix, here's the others.
If there was time between the caveman and these skeletons, Sirettis would have used a clw charge on Gallix, more if time.
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Mr. Peppers sends more magic missile goodness at yellow skeleton.
Corsac shoots at the nearest skeleton, but will move for a clear los if he has to.
If that one is next to him, he steps 5ft away, reloads and shoots.
1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8Pang, PBS:1d12 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 It was actually a d12 >_>.
D. will use the same tactics as Corsac, moving only for better los.
Sand bullet vs nearest skeleton:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 Crit?:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 151d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Good night.
If i wake up during the night, i'll check....if you want to keep it going, GM Red, you know D.'s tactics if we get a new enemy while i sleep ^^
Edit: Sirettis uses the heal wand on whoever is in need of it.
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
:) I'm going to now, but it'll likely be my last one (or second last at the very best) for the night.
Uesugi easily cuts down the skeleton holding the green scimitar, and he's left with a femur, an elbow, a few fingers, and a pile of dust at his feet.
Broken scimitar:1d20 ⇒ 81d6 ⇒ 1
Green's undead brother shambles forward and strikes towards Gallix. A square of his cloth shirt, hopefully not his favorite, falls to the ground, but he's otherwise unharmed.
Mr. Peppers blasts the yellow-toothed skeleton with a magic missile and has it thrown thirty feet across the plaza. When it finally lands on its back, its skull tilts to the side and then falls off clean, hoping to haunt Mr. Peppers' dreams for years to come.
Gallix throws a punch at the red one, his fist unfortunately sliding alongside its smooth bones, and Corsac launches a shot that cracks off a shard of marble from a nearby pillar.
Victim roll:1d2 ⇒ 1 Broken scimitar:1d20 ⇒ 111d6 ⇒ 6
The blue-caped skeleton doesn't like the demise of its friends, and it runs forward with its sword held high before swinging it at Gallix. The barbarian laughs as it whiffs.
D sends the red skeleton back to oblivion with a well-aimed kinetic blast.
That leaves Sirettis for this round. Actions? Uesugi and D, feel free to post for next round.
Uesugi had not expected to be fighting this long. He could feel the heaviness of the katana on his tired arms but he knew that the only to return back home was to continue destroying these creatures. Each time a new opponent came was another step closer to ridding himself of this nightmare.
Sirettis fires her crossbow at the skeleton.
Crossbow:1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 1 - 4 = -2 Damage:1d8 ⇒ 7
You can do it, guys!
Sirettis's script is as follows: -If it's an animal or humanoid, Slumber Hex, WIll DC 14 -If it resists or is immune to sleep, fire a crossbow bolt at it
Well, provided the GM has time, Sirettis. :)
GM Hmm might catch up on us with the anchor success streak.
Heck, i'd refresh my page more than usual to get out of this doomsday situation, did so last night.
The green dome overhead ripples and flexes, visibly weakened but still present. The same woman’s voice from earlier booms from everywhere and nowhere at once.
“This… this isn’t what I wanted. I wanted a world with purpose again—with certainty. But I suppose there is no greater way to die than in the same fiery cataclysm that marked Aroden’s first step toward divinity. Join me in martyrdom, Pathfinders, and try to die with some dignity.”
Tables, we no longer need any anchors successes! All that's left is to retake the vault!
Awesome!! :D
--------
This raises the question though, do we, as a table, have to fight in the vault again against the clones, or are we done since we talked Lady Arodeth out of her plan?
Yeah. Everyone else was at full.
Looking at the stat block, these simulacra are definitely more formidable than the anchor minions. Not impossible, but not as spammable as dinosaurs and skeletons.
As the anchoring energy fades, the new goal becomes clear: The party must weaken the vault and its denizens sufficiently to stop the Sky Key once and for all.
You head back through the ancient city and scurry down the steps to the vault, the trip taking 1d4 ⇒ 3 minutes. Injured Shaine leans up against one of the large tesla coils in the room, shouting encouraging words as other Pathfinders fight on against the simulacra.
One of the green Arodeth replicas locks eyes with D as you approach, and prepares to attack, its staff held high.
"What are you looking at me for, you blobbous copy?"
Blaster, rifle loaded, moves slightly NE.
"So, err, we talked to the lady..yet i still have to shoot at her..qute an odd situation." Rt, PBS:1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 1 = 22Bang:1d12 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Sirettis casts slumber hex on her, Will DC 14, in hopes of Uesugi able to perform CDG on her next round.
