I can also cast Vanish on someone so they can get close to her (grapple, subdue, stab, what-have-you).
Lyselsa Darklock |
Lys moves back carefully.
"They eggs are there. Can someone make her go to sleep or distract her? I can sneak up if I can get invisible or vanished."
Arnold Perlstein |
"Those sound like a plan. I can mingle with the shadows for about 30 seconds too; grab her if all else fails," Arnold replies to Lys and Narika.
I've got a Vanish-like racial ability I can use to move up and maybe grapple her.
Izlin Greymantle{Toku Kara Shi} |
Izlin casts vanish on the rogue.
Kerastes |
Kerastes has renewed his expeditious retreat and studies the aspis leader, to see where best to hit her.
I assume she is human

She falls over laughing uncontrollably as a pair of previously unseen black metal snakes slither up from the corners.

Kerastes |
Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Seeing that the boss is out of combat for now Kerastes focusses on the metal snakes. He quickly tells the others the most interesting bit about them and then advances, activating his bane ability and attacking once.
I assume the 15 tells me that these are constructs, activating construct bane as swift action
Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 2 = 27
Damage: 1d10 + 7 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 2 + (6, 5) = 27

damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
will: 1d20 ⇒ 10
Kerastes indeed recognizes them as Adamantine Cobras.
Right before smacking one as hard as he can. The adamantine is hard but he still gets some damage in.
Other than construct traits, their most interesting facet is their venomous bite. White not particularly strong, it does damage one's constution so an unlucky warrior could die from a single bite.
Speaking of such things the two snakes both slither up to Kerastes and take a bite.
2 hits, 2 damage each, and 2 fort saves.
The Aspis agent continues to laugh on the ground.

Amukk |
Amukk (staggered) is slow to react, despite knowing violence would erupt. He moves over in front of Narika but cannot seem to do anything else at the moment. I knew it, i just knew it, why is it always bloodshed with these Aspis?!?
Pirate GM |
Kerastes avoids the poison, Arnold comes in but can't penetrate the metallic scales of the snake.
Narika's magic missiles do indeed finish off the wounded snake.
Amukk slowly moves forward.
Lyselsa Darklock |
Lyss moves forward as close as she can.

Post from yesterday was eaten. I moved, but now instead of attacking the dead snake, I will ready action to attack any hostile target that comes into range.

Kerastes attempts to strike the other metallic snake while he increases his defenses against poisons

Pirate GM |
Kerastes can't connect with the remaining snake while Lyselsa sneaks up and Izlin readies.
Izlin SR: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
As the snake steps forward it takes a snowball from Izlin.
bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
With the Aspis agent laughing and the snake down to 5hp, we'll go ahead and call this combat.
The eggs in the room are safe, however one more puzzle remains.
This massive iron door is pocked with evenly spaced holes in a roughly square pattern. Mithral rods are placed in a strange pattern in the door, with five other rods lying on the ground in a small stack directly in front of the door.
The rods are currently placed to make the aklo character K. The other 5 rods should be able to complete the letter.
Izlin Greymantle{Toku Kara Shi} |
"Should we just go and get the 'parents'? They may prefer that actually. Especially if we mess up on that door and it explodes or something."
Lyselsa Darklock |
Lys studies the door careful not to touch it. When she hears Izlin's suggestion she nods. "I agree let's get the eggs out of this room before we study the door. That isn't a language I know."
Pirate GM |
The lizardfolk are happy to have their eggs recovered and are very thankful. They don't seem to care at all what you do in the back room.
Kerastes |
After the eggs have been recovered Kerastes casts comprehend languages and examines the door.
"Hmm, those rods are needed to finish the Aklo character for K. Shall we insert them and finish the letter?"
Arnold Perlstein |
"Might as well. Not sure what'll happen, but we can handle it. Or it could help."
Kerastes |
"Ready? Here goes!"
Kerastes starts to insert the rods, waiting with the final one for confirmation from the others
Pirate GM |
I'm out GMing PFS in meat-space tonight. I'll update the door opening late tonight though.
Izlin Greymantle{Toku Kara Shi} |
From well behind the others, "Excellent. That all looks good from back here."
Lyselsa Darklock |
Lys stays back, and watches what happens.
Pirate GM |
As the final rod clicks into place the door opens with almost supernatural quickness revealing a rotting serpent folk covered in tattered bandages. It's another mummy!

Kerastes inserts the last rod and is caught off guard by the quickness with which the door opens.
Narika |
Narika moves to where she can see into the room, and then sets off a fireball that can reach the mummy but not any of her big new friends.

Arnold rides in closer...

...And is promptly frozen in place out of fear. Despite the obvious problems this poses, a part of him also remembers his last brush with these things and is grateful he isn't too close. Yet.
Pirate GM |
Arnold: Will save for the mount as well. Also folks can roll knowledge: religion and knowledge: nature.
Narika's spell washes harmlessly over the Serpentfolk mummy.
Pirate GM |
Looked into the numbers because I was curious, monsters with good SR (like serpentfolk) get 11+CR, so a single monster in tier 5-6 could easily be 8 or 9 and have SR 19/20. Fortunately this is prior to the 4 player adjustment rules so all the monsters are 1 lower CR.
reflex: 1d20 ⇒ 7
Ahem...
After a moment where it looks like mummy was uneffected the ashes of what were once bandages begin to slough off of the quite crispy, but still upright mummy.

Izlin moves forward, then prepares his weapon to harm the undead.

With Arnold and Lyselsa paralyzed by fear, Izlin and Amukk buff the Mummy lumbers into action.
It flickers for a moment before splitting into 3. It then lumbers forward towards the party.
The Wallabe and Lyselsa recover from their fear, Arnold however remains paralyzed with fear.

Izlin nearly falters at the sight of the undead. However, he rallies and hurls a dagger at the horror. He is more than a little annoyed when the weapon banishes an illusion.
Pirate GM |
Kerastes knows not only that it's a mummy but that the base creature is a serpentfolk.
They have powerful spell-resistance and a variety of mental control powers. It is likely a very ancient mummy.
Kerastes and Izlin pop images while Narika's magic missiles strike true.
Amukk |

Amukk, undaunted by the monstrosity, moves forward and calls down the power of the stars into the mummy's eyes. Cast glitterdust centered on the yellow X. DC 16 Will.
