Post Apocthulhu Pathfinder RAW

Game Master Michael Johnson 66

He would be fine he rolls twice then he surges.. As in he would do those two rolls first..

Ah, that's true....

So he does throw off the coils, and then rips MJ apart!

He would be fine he rolls twice then he surges.. As in he would do those two rolls first..

Not in this case. He rolls, and if he passes I use an ability that makes him re-roll. He failed on the first, surged to pass. I used an ability to make him re-roll at that point. It's not a "roll twice take the lowest" thing, it's a "If you pass I can burn Mythic power to make you re-roll" thing.

Edit: NVM. I was wrong.

Poor MJ! I can picture you picking up and laying down his token figure over and over again!

Hmmm, yes.... This is true.... The order of events is key here.... Marcus would only force the re-roll after Ithaqua surged to make the first save....

So, Ithaqua is bound in the crushing coils conjured by Marcus, and MJ suffers no attacks from the Old One, and is therefore alive! =)

Actually, no, I was mistaken. It is a roll twice take the lowest thing, I have to pick when I cast the spell. I got it and Persistent mixed up in my head. =(

Nah, he's dead I think. Derrik pointed out why.

Poor MJ! I can picture you picking up and laying down his token figure over and over again!

LOL!! Exactly.... It appears that MJ is, in fact, dead.... Lays token flat for third time....

Of greater immediate concern.... Ithaqua is free to take his second turn of actions at the end of the round!

In the Hall of Sif on Asgard, Sif and her Valkyries gasp in shock and grief as Mikey Jay is terrible rended apart on Midgard by the wicked Ithaqua!

Alas! Poor Mikey Jay! exclaims the goddess of battle-skill....

Shall I bear Mikey Jay here, My Goddess?

Ulfrid eagerly kneels before Sif....

Nay, Ulfrid.... Not yet.... Mikey Jay's companions possess the power to restore life to the fallen.... They may yet have need of so brave a warrior.... If they burn him on a pyre, or send him to sea on a barque, thou shalt bring him hither!

Ulfrid bows her winged-helmed head....

Yes, My Goddess....

After Koran, and assuming that Koran just dished out a butt-load of hurtin' on him with Mjolnir:

Bite on Koran 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (3) + 28 = 31 deals 2d8 + 11 ⇒ (6, 5) + 11 = 22 plus 4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 1) = 8 cold damage....

Claw on Koran 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (16) + 28 = 44 deals 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (2, 1) + 11 = 14 plus 4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 3, 2) = 11 cold damage....

Claw on Koran 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (11) + 28 = 39 deals 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (2, 1) + 11 = 14 plus 4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 2, 1) = 13 cold damage....

Block one of Koran's attacks 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (3) + 28 = 31....

72 total damage (less Koran's DR and resistances, if any)....

Plus rend and another Bite, if not on Koran just move it to Derrik

Round 2!

Derrik!
Yingzen!
Azimuth!
Radsworth! Winston the grizzly bear!
Mikey Jay!
Levinson! Summoned horn devil! Mahatma! Etcetera!
Marcus!
Daisy!
Ithaqua!
Kepler!
Ithaqua again!

TBD: Koran! (Round 1, too)

Eeeeek! Eeeeeek!

Rend on Koran deals 1d8 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24 rending damage plus 4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 1, 2) = 9 cold damage!

Feral savage bite on Derrik 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (1) + 28 = 29 doesn't auto miss due to mythic ability always a chance, plus two power points to maximize surge for +11, deals 2d8 + 11 ⇒ (4, 7) + 11 = 22 plus 4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 3, 3) = 10 cold damage!

"Cornugon, Quickly, attack the beast!" Levinson levels Faust at the Wind-Walker launching a Flamestrike, and relying on Mahatma's magical tusks orders, "Charge!"

Flamestrike (DC 20): 15d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 6, 2, 6, 1, 5, 5, 3, 1, 5, 3, 6, 5, 3) = 62
SR (CL 20): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35

"Cornugon, Quickly, attack the beast!" Levinson levels Faust at the Wind-Walker launching a Flamestrike, and relying on Mahatma's magical tusks orders, "Charge!"

[dice=Flamestrike (DC 20)]15d6
[dice=SR (CL 20)]1d20+20

Close.... So close! But no cigar....

Ithaqua resists the magic of the infernal Rod....unless you want to burn a surge?

If I can still burn a surge to boost that roll...
Surge!: 1d6 ⇒ 4 = 39

Ithaqua's SR is 36....surge granted!

Ithaqua is burnt by the searing hellfire!

Reflex save vs DC 20 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (3) + 22 = 25 succeeds.... Ithaqua is still burnt for 45 fire damage!

RRRRAAAAARRRRRGGHH!!!!

Ithaqua is down 182 hp, and can't regenerate this round thanks to Levinson's flame strike!

Derrik responds with a a simultaneous strike, Slicing at Ithaqua's jaw as his mouth bit down, The creature distracted by multitude of allies afforded to the FO's. He becomes a torrent of death slicing every which way, carving Ithaqua up, alternating between Excalibur and Dawnbringer, burning everything he had in this final assault, finding every kink he could in the creatures defenses.

Fleet Flanking Precise Smiting Divine Powerful Excalibur Strike of Destructive Justice: 1d20 + 35 ⇒ (3) + 35 = 381d8 + 25 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 25 + (5, 4) + (4) = 43

Self Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Fervor Flanking Precise Twin Smiting Divine Powerful Dawnbringer Strike of Destructive Justice: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (11) + 27 = 381d8 + 23 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 23 + (3, 1) + (5, 1) + (1) = 42

Flanking Precise Twin Smiting Divine Powerful Excalibur Strike of Destructive Justice: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (19) + 29 = 481d8 + 19 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 19 + (4, 3) + (3) = 35

Secondary Flanking Precise Twin Smiting Divine Powerful Dawnbringer Strike of Destructive Justice: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (12) + 22 = 341d8 + 23 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 23 + (5, 3) + (1, 2) + (2) = 39
Self Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Secondary Flanking Precise Twin Smiting Divine Powerful Excalibur Strike of Destructive Justice: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (20) + 24 = 441d8 + 19 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 19 + (3, 1) + (5) = 31

Final MP to fleet charge.. though I don't move.. Full attack.. Flanking with.. any of my allies at this point I think

Confirm Flanking Precise Twin Smiting Divine Powerful Excalibur Strike of Destructive Justice: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (2) + 32 = 341d8 + 19 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 19 + (1, 6) + (6) = 36

Confirm Secondary Flanking Precise Twin Smiting Divine Powerful Excalibur Strike of Destructive Justice: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (6) + 27 = 331d8 + 19 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 19 + (2, 3) + (5) = 32

Last Legendary Power of Dawnbringer 38: 1d6 ⇒ 2 = 40

Flanking now with Derrik (and likely Koran), Yingzen brandishes the Dawnsaber....

Sneaky flanking slash 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (17) + 22 = 39 plus surge 1d6 ⇒ 2 just cuts the butter! Dealing 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 slashing plus 5d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 1, 2, 3) = 15 sneak attack damage....

Confirm critical 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (5) + 22 = 27 fails to confirm....

Ithaqua is down 328 hp after Derrik!

Hah it got lucky.. but I surged the 38 does 40 work?

40 is the magic number

So an extra 42 after whatever Koran did...

How hurt is he looking? Like "near death", "doin' fine", or "you just barely scratched me, that all you got?"

How hurt is he looking? Like "near death", "doin' fine", or "you just barely scratched me, that all you got?"

He's grimacing in mortal agony.... Near death.... Vital organs popping out to see what's up and the like....

Coo'. Debating whether it's worth it to cast another spell then. I need like a 19 to pass his SR even with Piercing.

Edit: Ah, screw it. I like to live dangerously.

Marcus goes for the more direct approach this time.

"BURN BABY BURN!" he crows, burning more Mythic power to cast a Flamestrike.

SR: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Yer kiddin' me

Surge: 1d6 ⇒ 1

13d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 5, 4, 1, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 6, 4) = 39

Reflex DC 23 half.

Whipping his barbed chain about, and soaring closer to the Old One, the horned devil tries to lacerate Ithaqua 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (8) + 26 = 34 to no avail....

Daisy channels positive energy, excluding the enemy, of course....

7d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 6, 2, 2, 1, 1) = 14 damage healed to all FOs within 30 ft of Daisy (who is 25 ft from Ithaqua)....

Radsworth focuses, using Chesterfield to try and pierce through Ithiqua's godlike spell resistance. He takes a brief moment to steady shaking hands and wipe the sweat from his brow. Traveler's distinct whine picks up as arcane energy crackles through a holy round in the chamber.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
Holy Round: 1d8 + 5 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 5 + (6, 4) = 20
Shocking Grasp: 10d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 6, 3, 2, 4, 4, 6, 6, 5) = 45
SR 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 (Nat 20 with Piercing Spell + 1d6 ⇒ 6 if needed.
SR 2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

(65 Damage as I see it.)
(SR 38 + Piercing, or 43 realistically.)

"Again Chesterfield!"

Radsworth implores the hat's help again, this time using his metamagic support for a quickened spell, a massive explosion of flames which seek to engulf and consume Ithiqua.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
Corrosive Round: 1d8 + 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + (2) + 5 = 8
Dragons Breath: 10d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 2, 6, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 4) = 33 Reflex 27 for Half
SR 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31 (+ Surge 1d6 ⇒ 6 if needed.
SR 2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

33 Flaming Damage, DC 27 for half.
(SR 37)

Totally forgot Daisy's contingent channel energy when MJ drops....

7d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 6, 5, 2, 4, 1) = 24 healing to all FOs within 30 ft of Daisy....

This does not save MJ from death, but it is extra hp for the others....

Traveler's round rips into the eye socket of the Old One....

Radsworth's arcane might surges, channelled through his shot....

Ithaqua's stag-skull head splits apart with an explosion of lightning bolts....

AAAAAAWWOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!!!!

A mournful, pitiful howling echoes throughout the forest....

The Wind Walker falls....destroyed by the Fierce Ones!

Damn, I go out for the day and you guys almost fill two pages.
Initiative: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

total of 285 damage

EDIT: Ninjaed. Well that renders my 592 damage useless. That's what I get for being late.

The FOs would each receive an obscene amount of XP--72,800 each. If this amount of XP would cause the FOs to advance to 12th level, they are instead 11th level, and have the XP needed to advance to 12th level on the fast track, -1.

I think only a few of those hit Koran, lol. Thats obscene DPR.

"I think it's dead, guys. Holy crap that thing could take a hit."

I'm considering this victory the equivalent of 2 mythic challenges completed.

Each FO gains mythic tier 3 when Ithaqua falls....

And I assume 11th level, and then some....

Each FO has a new XP total of 104,999.... We are 11th level, 3rd mythic tier, and 1 XP away from leveling to 12th level....

Levinson felt a bizarre surge in power as her link to Kepler grew even stronger. She toppled over in brief pain as the back of her shirt and coat ripped open allowing the newly formed giant bird of prey wings to extend out fully.

After a brief moment of disbelief and testing her control over them, the professor seemed confident that they could easily support her for flight as they matched the shape and pattern of her Eidolon's own wings, only scaled to her frame.

She leaped off the back of Mahatma and quickly took flight: Fly: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

"Well, this is kind of cool... So how about we take care of the rest of those weresquatches?"

I don't have a diamond to raise Mikey with.... Can you bring him back with the Caduceus, Marcus? I'll cast the restorations to restore him fully....

"Can do, Daisy."

Marcus raises the Caduceus high and brings it down hard on Mikey's chest.

"CLEAR!" he shouts, letting the magic flow out of the staff.

After about a minute of Marcus beating on MJ's chest with the Caduceus and shouting "clear!", Mikey Jay gasps and sits up, rubbing his sore chest....

Ow!!.... What happened? Did I.... Was I....? Did you kill Ithaqua!?.... Holy s##@.... Levinson has wings now!?
