Post Apocthulhu Pathfinder RAW

Game Master Michael Johnson 66

It's not a Madeness (like Hastur's) it's Insanity, as the spell (Permanent Confusion). So roll a d100 to see if you get to act, basically.

Also remember that as a 9th tier mythic character with unstoppable, you can spend an mp as an immediate action to suppress confusion for that round....

will: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33

Can we get an Initiative Monkey up in hurr? Not sure whose turn it is.

Battle of Ayers Rock, round one!!

Yingzen!
Shub-Niggurath!
Koran!
Al'Torac!
Sieg!
Marcus!
Dark young!
Daisy!
Mikey!

TBD: Allison, Derrik, Grimm, Radsworth, Xavier! Screeeeech!!!

yingzen focuses his mythic energies and turns invisible and moving to a spot to strike from

spending a use of his mythic power as a swift action to activate vanishing move as greater invisibility then double moving towards any good spot to strike from

will: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23

How many Dark Young are between Sieg and Shub?

Will: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (11) + 25 = 36+ surge: 1d10 ⇒ 5 = 41
Will: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (9) + 25 = 34

The tempest that is koran's mind deflects Shubs own insanity.

Sieg delays for now, until I can get a better grasp of what's going on.

Marcus uses Divine Metamastery, and casts Haste on everyone.

A rough map of the current situation:

DY. DY. DY. DY. DY. DY. DY. DY. DY. DY. DY. DY.

~160 ft

SHUB N

~240 ft

KORAN. DERRIK. MIKEY. YINGZEN. AL TORAC.

RADSWORTH. DAISY. ALLISON. XAVIER. MARCUS.

Mikey holds, awaiting buffs from his spell casting companions....

Daisy casts freedom of movement on Koran....

The dark young gallop 160 ft closer to the FOs' front line, their hooved feet thundering on the hard pan desert....

A rough map of the current situation:

DY. DY. DY. DY. DY. DY. DY. DY. DY. DY. DY. DY.

SHUB N

~240 ft

YINGZEN (60
Ft ahead of FOs)

KORAN. DERRIK. MIKEY. AL TORAC.

RADSWORTH. DAISY. ALLISON. XAVIER. MARCUS.

Already had Marcus act. He cast Haste, and used Divine Metamastery.

I'll have Sieg act soon though, since Shubby's all alone up there.

I use one MP to supress confusion for the round

Vile fiend you will never corrupt my mind. Daisy my friend I will require your help to cure me of this ailment after this fight

I unleash a full attack on Shub-Niggurath. I get and extra 4d6 and +2 to hit and damage from holy and aberrant bane on my on-hand as well as the same bonuses from holy and mythic-bane on my off hand. All of these target his touch AC, and I get a -2 for the distance.

on-hand1: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (16) + 31 = 471d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 43 ⇒ (5) + (4, 3) + (6, 6) + 43 = 67
on-hand2: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (8) + 31 = 391d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 43 ⇒ (3) + (1, 2) + (1, 2) + 43 = 52
on-hand3: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (5) + 31 = 361d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 43 ⇒ (3) + (1, 3) + (6, 5) + 43 = 61
on-hand4: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (19) + 31 = 501d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 43 ⇒ (7) + (6, 6) + (3, 4) + 43 = 69
on-hand5: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (17) + 26 = 431d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 43 ⇒ (1) + (3, 2) + (3, 5) + 43 = 57
on-hand6: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (16) + 21 = 371d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 43 ⇒ (5) + (2, 4) + (2, 6) + 43 = 62
I drop my off had gun as a free action, load my on hand gun as a free action(rapid reload), and grab my off hand gun as a swift action (weapon cords) and then I continue my attack
on-hand7: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 171d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 43 ⇒ (6) + (4, 4) + (6, 1) + 43 = 64

off-hand1: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (5) + 30 = 351d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 43 ⇒ (7) + (3, 2) + (5, 3) + 43 = 63
off-hand2: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (11) + 25 = 361d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 43 ⇒ (2) + (3, 3) + (2, 3) + 43 = 56
off-hand3: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 = 321d8 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 43 ⇒ (1) + (3, 2) + (5, 6) + 43 = 60

I'm going to attempt to confirm the critical hit on on-hand attack 4. If it hits I do x5 damage and the variable of my d8 will count as an 8 for all dice rolled because of maximized critical[ooc]

crit confimation: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (3) + 31 = 34 [ooc]for a total of 274 damage on that one attack if this is a critical hit.

I have 5 bullets loaded in my on hand and 3 loaded in my off hand currently

This a bad time to point out that weapon cords were errata'd to be Move actions? Though I think we'd all be happier if MJ wisely chose to ignore that.

Sieg moves 180 feet closer to Shub Niggurath.

Putting him at 120 feet out I believe.

Belay that. I have a better idea.

Sieg drops to the ground, and charges at the line of spawn...leaping directly over them before he gets in range of their attacks, and launching himself at Shub-Niggurath.

He grows in size, and lunges toward the creature, unleashing a titanic strike at Shub-Niggurath, pointing his fingers into a spike and lodging them into Shub, crushing him, and punching him again.

"DIE, UNNATURAL BEAST!"

ICE PICK KUGI PAWNCHU: 1d20 + 40 ⇒ (13) + 40 = 53

Damage: 24d8 + 272 + 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 8, 1, 8, 7, 4, 2, 8, 7, 7, 3, 5, 6, 5, 7, 3, 6, 1, 6, 4, 8, 2, 6) + 272 + (3, 5) = 398

Grapple (Hamatula Strike): 1d20 + 53 ⇒ (16) + 53 = 69

Crush: 9d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 4, 1, 3, 4, 6, 3, 2) = 26

Attack 2: 1d20 + 40 ⇒ (13) + 40 = 53

Damage: 24d8 + 264 ⇒ (3, 1, 6, 7, 3, 7, 5, 3, 2, 5, 1, 8, 3, 1, 2, 7, 6, 1, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 8) + 264 = 363

Total Damage: 787

Use 1 Ki to increase speed by 20 feet (total 140 ft. speed), Charge 280 feet. Assuming he's larger than Medium I can Lunge and attack him. If he's Huge or bigger I shouldn't need to.

Total Mythic Power cost: 3 (Amazing Initiative, Titan's Rage, Mythic Power Attack).

Than I'll just have to spend that swift action on my quick runner's shirt to grab a move action. Oh and I forgot to add my +4 to critical mastery so that's a 38 on the confirmation roll not a 34 my bad

Holy s#!!e....

When the smoke from Xavier's guns clears, Shub Niggurath looks like a giant chunk of Swiss cheese that's been gnawed on by giant mice....

Blood or ichor oozes from the many holes....

But before the first globs of ichor hit the ground, Sieg has taken what remains of Shub Niggurath and dashes it against the hard pan, causing it to fall apart like a mass of grease suddenly cut with bleach....

Reverse winds seem to suck into the broken pieces of the great old one, and those pieces seem to shrivel and dissolve like cotton candy in a downpour....

Daisy stares, dumb with shock at how quickly and easily Xavier and Sieg destroyed the great old one....

Mikey opens his mouth as if to say something as he pauses in battle pose, then closes his mouth in a rare moment of speechlessness....

Really? Shub-Niggurath, Black Goat of the Woods With A Thousand Young is handled like a balloon in need of popping?.... My companions are top echelon badasses!

Sieg blinks in slight surprise at how easily Shub was smashed, but Beowulf's arrogance kicks in and he recovers quickly.

"I have killed your mother! Who dares face me next?" he shouts at the spawn.

Koran will delay until after the dark young.

That's what becomes of those who kill my kin. Now you younglings get out or die this is my land and you shall not taint it any more.

Rad watches the dispatch of Shub-Niggurath passively.

As he thought.

More and more his presence was going to become a convenience rather than necessity. Again he turned this thoughts to the stars..

"I am sure I still have a part to play, much like Merlin who was long ago outstrapped by the Fierce Ones he guided. I'll stay to see this done.."

how far are the dy

The DY are about 60 ft from Sieg, 180 ft from Yingzen, and 240 ft from everyone else....

al'torac charges into the dark young biting at the neck of the one he slams into.

charging attack bite: 1d20 + 26 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 26 + 2 = 43
damage: 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (6, 4) + 15 = 25

Al'Torac's charge is successful....

The dark young squeals through multiple mouths as the dragon's teeth sink into it's semi-amorphous body....

Derrik looks upon the spectacle passively as if his body had no particular need to move from the spot and that he could very well take care of the Young it was still alot to take in. He raised Dawnbringer and Excalibur; priming them for the slaughter.

Mythic Heroic Init: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (5) + 22 = 27

Derrik, with his impossible speed, decides to get rid of a few Spawn there was no way they would change and their evil was absolute. leaving any behind would be folly.

Derrik seems to disappear from a standing position as steam is left in his place appearing High over one of the Children of Shub-Niggurath and attempting to cleave it in twain. Dawnbringer howled.

Mythic Hero's Leap: 1d20 + 66 ⇒ (7) + 66 = 73
Wrath's Judgement (Aberration Bane'd): 1d20 + 35 ⇒ (5) + 35 = 401d8 + 37 + 2d6 + 4d6 + 11d6 ⇒ (5) + 37 + (4, 2) + (1, 3, 6, 5) + (5, 1, 6, 5, 1, 5, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1) = 99 = 198 Foe Bitten.
Self Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Landing among them. " COME YOU WRETCH FILTH! YOU WILL BE JOINING YOUR MAKER SOON ENOUGH! "

A dark young falls apart in the storm of metal lightning and divine wrath that Derrik embodies, eye-and-maw-speckled tentacles falling away like branches of a tree from a chainsaw on fast forward....

So. whose turn?

The remaining dark young, shaken to their ineffable cores by the casual destruction of their Unholy Mother in a matter of mere seconds....the assault on and destruction of the dark young themselves....and a lucid moment of insight assuring them that with all of their great might and dread power, the dark young were yet like grass before the scythe to the reincarnated demigods of Earth united in purpose....gallop in wild panic away from The Fierce Ones....

....but The Fierce Ones rain hell nonetheless....

....It would ever after be remembered as The Old One on the Barbie Massacre by the Jaeger League....

*Sigh!* Ya, know.... We needed that, after our harrowing experience with Hastur and the Japanese movie-monsters.... A nice, easy victory, like in the good old days.... I,ll never forget Derrik cutting the head off the chimera....the piscodaemon.... HAHAHAHA!!! That was fun.... That was fun.... Or when Yog-Soggoth almost ate the universe because of Levinson and her slow-ass chanting in that female-Woody Allen voice.... I miss Levinson.... Hope she didn't run off to become a lich and join Cthulhu.... Wouldn't that be a kick in the nuggets! HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Mikey grins as he wipes the gore of dead abominations from the multicolored crystal blade of The Sword of Sif, sleek, glossy, black, insect-like exoskeleton open at the visor, making him look like some kind of demented, man-sized beetle-cricket-lobster with a man's face....

You joke about your inner fears, Mikey Jay.... Because you trust us.... Your friends.... Enough to reveal them.... You fear that Levinson might have succumbed to the darker side of magic.... That she is damned.... Because you love her, and fear for her.... We all do, my friend....

I was just joking, Levinson would never do that. She was one of us, always will be.... I like to joke around....

Big closed grin....

"I hope Yig is just as simple. If worst comes to worst, and we fail against Cthulhu, at least the people who come after us will have an easier time of it without these other Old Ones running around the Earth."

" Cthulhu is surely that which his legends ay. A fierce beast, but we have ascended much past what even normal fables tell of the exploits of heroes. Have faith in yourselves Fierce Ones. Go into the fray seeking victory, for then you will fight your hardest. I myself need only to make amends to my loved ones before the fight. I wish there to be no regrets. Expect Yig to be equally evil and you shall be able to fight anything! " Derrik cleaned his weapons with a heavy swipe.

" Mikey, you like to joke but that is not a matter in which you do so. "

Rad sighs, looking wearily at Derrek.

Rubbing his temples, he takes Chesterfield off for a moment to scratch his head.

"We have had at least one ally reject our path and turn against us. Mikey and his nervous humour do no harm Derrek. To put the words in the air is no different than having them in your head."

Grumbling, he closes the books he has been reading.

"I have read everything I can. We will fail or we will succeed. For Sun Mi's sake, I will do everything possible to ensure the latter occurs."

He looks thoughtful.

"Of course, if we fail, I have the luxury of having prepares clones for Mi Sun and myself on a demiplane of my creation. A place of law and balance. I can, in due time, revive the lot of you and we can try again, but there might not be anything to save by that time."

Derrik's Helmet turned to Radsworth and he could feel the foreboding nature. " Did you forget your other student in all of this or had you completely abandoned him? Moreover Sun Mi is fighting just like you are. If we fail this it will not be a next time as Cthulhu would recover to quickly. I WILL ensure he dies and STAYS dead. "

Koran lumbers over to the two talking. I'd have to agree with Derrik Rad. If we don't kill Cthulhu now then we have lost. But that won't be a problem. The giant proudly taps Mjolnir to his chest and slaps Derrik on the back.

"Agreed. This time it's all or nothing, we either save everyone and kill Cthulhu, or die trying.t."

"Hopefully we'll be able to pull off option A. I've got unfinished business." Marcus says, thinking of his wife.

If nothing else, at least she's alive again.

"I've got some tricks up my sleeve for ol' squidhead. Hopefully they'll help turn the tide."

Surprisingly enough to everyone or just Koran when he slaps Derrik on the back it just creates a ringing sound against the metal rather than him tumbling forward. Derrik turns his head to Koran and gives a nod raising Dawnbringer in salute.

" Since we have time to prepare before meeting the foul Yig, I suppose it would be advantageous to recall any information of the God of Serpents and slay the foul wretch before it corrupts the land any more than it has. "

When marcus mentions unfinished business Derrik is quiet for a time before giving of a heavy breath from under his helmet.

"Aaron has refused the same offer, Derrik. He said something about him being trapped in a realm with my maddening points of view for eternity was worse than death. He clearly takes your mannerisms much more than mine, but I have long ago concluded through both he and Sun Mi that humanity is worth saving, and is capable of such despite the influence of the elder gods. In Aarons eyes, our relationship is ended."

Rad replaces his hat, and continues.

"And while I care for the boy it would be dishonest to say that I love him the way I do Sun Mi. You and Amber and Kitty all understand that very concept, I believe."

Should Derrik push the issue further, Radsworth will wave it off.

"In regards to Cthulu and the remaining dark ones, it's one thing to talk in absolutes, but another to alter the variables in this universe to that they all make anything 100% certain. I am prepared either way."

Kn. Dungeoneering: Yig?: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (8) + 20 = 28

Kn. Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (7) + 22 = 29
