Male Human Wizard 10/Envoy of Balance 9 (Mythic 9)
Vitals:
Hit Points: 187/167, AC 19, CMD 17, Mythic Power 19/21
Init:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
For the things I may succeed in, I place the motivation to endure and the will to persevere at your young feet. For the things which I leave unfinished, I ask you for patience. The universe needs balance, and together we will bring it. Should the machinations of a flawed creature prevent me from returning to you, note you have my love as a daughter forever.
Note colossal Cthulhu at the north end of the throne room, with smaller but also colossal star-spawn to his left, right, and one before him (9 altogether)....
Koran is the frost giant front left, Al-Torac is the Large blue dragon, front center from L to R is Derrik, Mikey Jay, and Sieg.... Daisy is the female figure on the back R.... Radsworth is the guy holding up a pair of pistols.... Yingzen is the dark tengu mini.... Marcus is the remaining mini....
AC: 32, SR: 32, DR: 10/lawful ROUND 1 Free (rage), free (ring of spell turning), full-round (charge), swift (smite evil)
Koran roars with the force of a storm and launched himself across the thrown room. Fire and lighting trail behind him as his personal storm flies him through the air. As he nears Cthulu he speeds down at the great olds ones tentacled head and launches a barrage of fury filled attacks each with the force of an entire army behind it.
rage, charge, wild fighting, aerial assault, power attack, smite evil
Oopsy! Disregard my post above this one for now.... Forgot Koran and everyone else must actually make 9 more Will saves vs the star spawns' frightful presences, and each of Koran's successful attacks might still be negated by Cthulhu's non-Euclidean defense....
Male Great Old One Outsider 31 (aquatic, chaotic, evil, native)
Concentration check vs DC 33 to defensively cast mythic wish 1d20 + 42 ⇒ (16) + 42 = 58 succeeds, of course....
Cthulhu raises one slimy claw skyward and utters a mythic wish that all of Koran's attacks this round failed to connect.... The four great bludgeon marks from Mjolnir suddenly vanish, restoring the Great Old One to full vigor!
In telepathic Aklo: You are doomed to fall before my relentless might, foolish mortals!!!
Koran! (Storms throne, opens can of whoopass on Cthulhu)
Cthulhu! (Mythic wishes away all Koran's damage)
Sieg!
Daisy!
Marcus!
Mikey Jay!
Radsworth!
Star spawn of Cthulhu! (9)
Sieg stomps his boots against the ground, granting him bolstered morale.
Swift action activate Boots of the Battle Herald, Greater Heroism for 30 rounds. Immune to fear now. Also activating Mythic Power Attack. Spending 1 point from my Ki Pool negate his Freedom of Movement.
Then he calls upon the spirit of Beowulf within him and rages, growing large, and follows Koran's course, flying over the Star-Spawn and going straight for their dread father.
He roars in anger and throws all his might into a single punch as he divebombs the tentacle-y threat to all humanity.
Male Great Old One Outsider 31 (aquatic, chaotic, evil, native)
Sieg's mythically powerful blow thunders down on Cthulhu's octopoid head, causing the Great Old One's entire, colossal, flabby frame to quiver like green gelatin!
Male Human Two-handed fighter 10/urban barbarian 9/cleric of Sif 1; Mythic Champion tier 10; hp 263
Miley Jay darts toward Cthulhu, The Sword of Sif upraised to strike! But he must pass within the range of nine star spawns' frightful presences to reach the Great Old One....
Will save vs DC 291d20 + 25 ⇒ (3) + 25 = 28 plus surge equals at least 29
Will save vs DC 291d20 + 25 ⇒ (9) + 25 = 34
Will save vs DC 291d20 + 25 ⇒ (16) + 25 = 41
Will save vs DC 291d20 + 25 ⇒ (7) + 25 = 32
Will save vs DC 291d20 + 25 ⇒ (6) + 25 = 31
Will save vs DC 291d20 + 25 ⇒ (5) + 25 = 30
Will save vs DC 291d20 + 25 ⇒ (15) + 25 = 40
Will save vs DC 291d20 + 25 ⇒ (11) + 25 = 36
Will save vs DC 291d20 + 25 ⇒ (12) + 25 = 37
Edit: Forgot mind blank grants +8 to Will saves vs mind-affecting effects....
MJ shrugs off the frightful presences! Attacks to follow....
Male Great Old One Outsider 31 (aquatic, chaotic, evil, native)
Having sustained a staggering amount of damage between Sieg's single tremendous blow and MJ's furious flurry of strikes with The Sword of Sif (711 total), Cthulhu roars in agony and outrage!
GLLLUUUUURRRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!
The Great Old One is reeling in shock and pain hitherto unknown to him!
Human Dark Tapestry Oracle 15; Mythic Hierophant Tier 6; HP: 114/114
Just realized Marcus hasn't acted yet. Wish I had known more about the CLeric list when we started this because a Readied action to use Soul Bind here would be rad. Don't have the right gemstone for it though.
Marcus uses his Divine Metamastery, then drops a Maximized Empowered Mythic Firestorm over the whole battlefield.
Spell resistance:2d20 ⇒ (5, 8) = 13+33 to bypass SR is 41 result, barely overcoming Cthulhu's SR I believe.
Using 2 MP to exclude Humanoids from harm. Everyone that's not humanoid in 42 total 10 ft. cubes (so...this whole room, basically) takes 240 damage. Reflex for half damage and to avoid being caught on fire and taking a further 36 fire damage every round until they spend a full-round to extinguish it. Half of this damage is Fire, and half of it is Divine and bypasses all fire resistance or immunity.
In the great battle that ensued, perhaps the most ferocious in Earth history.... More savage than the clash of titans, or dragons, or dinosaurs.... More bloodthirsty than the carnage of the World Wars, Viet Nam, the War on Terror.... The Fierce Ones earned their title one final time.
Cthulhu and its star spawn raged like nightmare leviathans from the drug-ravaged psyche of an insane alien, summoning demons, devils, daemons, slaadi, aberrations from the furthest realms, and undead monsters from the pits of Hell or other, equally terrible dimensions....
The Fierce Ones were at first horrified when Professor Naomi Levinson made her reappearance at Dread Cthulhu's side as a lich, Kepler long cannibalized for evil power....
But when it became apparent that she had actually turned on Cthulhu--her devious plan the whole time--they rejoiced at the potent necromantic aid of their long-lost companion!
In a houdah strapped to the back of a somehow more malevolent-looking marble elephant than the lovable figurine of wondrous power The Fierce Ones remembered, the Scepter of Faust in her hand, Lich Naomi Levinson winks an undead eye at Derrik.
You didn't truly think I'd let you have all the fun without me, did you?
Arriving with Morgan the Fey at his side, Merlin returns to their side once more in The Fierce Ones' hour of need.... Bravely and brilliantly, the old wizard fights alongside his ward once more, urging Derrik to greater and greater fears of battle-glory!
Kill him, Arthur!!!! Kill the bloody brute!!! roars Merlin to Derrik with his final breaths as the ancient archmage vanishes down Cthulhu's tentacle-fringed maw....
Seeing her sometime enemy, sometime lover disappear into the void of the ravening maw of Cthulhu, the immortal enchantress wails her grief and fury....
MERRRRLIIIINNNNN!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!
Electrified with mad rage, the fey witch hurls epic magics at the Great Old One, rending his form for the first time!
No, Mister Chesterfield. I am not. I have seen things, Mister Chesterfield. Things no mortal eye could bear to see. Things no immortal eye should suffer, even. Don't judge me!
Male Human Two-handed fighter 10/urban barbarian 9/cleric of Sif 1; Mythic Champion tier 10; hp 263
Like a whirling dervish on crack, Mikey Jay rains down blows with The Sword of Sif, laying a field of carnage among the star spawn, demons, devils, and assorted ill-fated minions summoned to the arena, wisecracking dryly as he slashes and hacks....
Female Human (Navajo) Cleric 20; Mythic Hierophant tier 10; hp 176
Daisy worked hard to keep her companions standing.... It was not easy.... Cthulhu and the star spawn brought the martial heroes to the brink of death over and over again, and Daisy nearly exhausted her healing powers undoing the damage....
Like a primal hurricane or tornado embodied, Koran and Mjolnir, united in a common purpose of destruction, send the summoned horde of fiends, aberrations, and undead back to Hell, thunderclaps and lightning ripping the air with every furious blow....
For a moment, the battlefield is silent, The Fierce Ones seemingly victorious as all the star spawn and summoned minions were slaughtered, and even Dread Cthulhu reduced to a noxious cloud of roiling green gas....
Without speaking a word, Derrik removes his helm and lets it fall with a clang to the throne room's blood-slicked floor.... He strides with solemn purpose into the noxious green cloud that had once been Cthulhu....
Coughing and spasming as the green gas envelops his armored form, Derrik falls to his knees and clutches at his throat before collapsing altogether....
A golden light radiates suddenly from his body as it begins to glow in the green gas!
The green gas coalesces around the brightly glowing figure, and a strange transformation occurs: rising from the floor and growing until it towers to Cthulhu's original colossal height, an armored, tentacled hybrid of Derrik and the Great Old One, brandishing colossal and warped versions of Excalibur and Dawnbringer, looms over the throne room!
It's voice is like thunder: The transmogrification is complete! I am more powerful than ever before! Behold the doom of galaxies, Fierce Ones, and despair!!!!
In the aftermath of that legendary battle, the ultimate clash between Yin and Yang, Light and Dark, Good and Evil, Life and Death, Resurrection and Destruction, Derrik Stonesmith made the ultimate sacrifice and fulfilled the destiny begun for him long before his soul inhabited the body known by that name.
A fallen angel was redeemed, but at the cost of his name and legend being stricken from the memories of every living being in the multiverse for all time.
The mythic companions who survived him knew that someone had been among them, a friend, a leader, a champion.... But the name and face were frustratingly lost to them....
Nonetheless, they celebrated the Forgotten One, and the sacrifice that saved the world, in the heady days of rebirth following the fall of Cthulhu and the New Renaissance of Humanity.
What are weapon options and can I make a custom race?
Start with max starting wealth, any weapon from Core, APG, UCG, UMG, AEG, that u can afford and justify having fluff-wise.
No custom races, but any of the featured or uncommon races from ARG can be played as either a bioengineered super soldier, freak of nature, alien, et cetera.
How did the world end? How long ago? Anything that might help set the tone?
The dictator of North Korea, advised by insane cultists, performed a ceremony found in the Necronomicon that raised R'lyeh and resurrected Cthulhu on Dec 21st, 2013, at midnight over R'lyeh.
Civilization was destroyed over the course of several days of slaughter and feasting. The major population centers became ground zero of carnage, with survivors resorting to cannibalism in short order.
The game begins on New Year's Day, 2013.
Pcs are survivors living at a top secret research lab in the Florida Everglades called Pandora's Box.
The first adventures will involve exploring Lido Key in search of supplies. Formerly a tourist destination known for its upscale shopping area (St Armand's Circle) and beach resorts, this island off the Gulf coast in Sarasota is now likely to be a place filled with danger. There is a wooded park at the south end, St Armand's Circle at the north end, and resorts and residences in between.
A motorized pontoon will drop the PCs off on the beach at the south end of Lido in the wooded park area.
Rules on Psionics? I'd like to make an Elan (set-up as a human infested by an alien entity who has regained control but not his memories) Psion. if you aren't familiar with psionics and would rather not use them I don't mind, thought I'd ask

Sorry, only classes from Core, APG, UCG, and UMG please. In other words, no 3rd party stuff, only what can be found in the PRD.
Bred at Pandora's Box in the Everglades, and trained in the art of shooting by the infamous Monkey Dude (a bioengineered vanara gunslinger), young Kinyama Urai, known to most of his associates as Foxy, is selected to provide security on a salvage expedition to Lido Key.....
I had a friend named Michael Johnson that ran some Cthulu stuff here in Oklahoma City. You wouldn't be him would ya?
That said, I'd like to toss my hat in. I understand Cthulu setting and thoughts on magic, I just want to make sure that functionally, the game mechanics are unchanged.
According to Paizo's own reference doc, Rapid reload DOES work on firearms. As is seen here. Just depends on whether you are reading the description pulled from Core or Ultimate Combat.

I'm not that Michael. :). Magic will work RAW. Not quite what Lovecraft had in mind, but arcane and divine magic can be mastered by studying such books as the Necronomicon, and other blasphemous tomes.

Right you are. In the SOR, I'll rule that you can reload advanced firearms as a free action with Rapid Reload.

Okki was also bred at Pandora's Box, and trained in the way of ninjutsu by Hell-No Kitty (catfolk ninja). He has been selected to join the expedition as well.

That said, I should have posted under a general alis. Okki is actually a toon from another game. I would actually like to submit Radsworth, an archeologist and professor turned spellslinger when Cthulu was reborn.
Spoiler:
He escaped his campus in Boston and into hiding in an old library in Dallas. There he discovered an old grimoire written in latin that contained simple cantrips for reading and detecting other magical texts.
From there he discovered that many seemingly ordinary books in libraries across the country contained some version of magical texts, their secrets often locked away through code or illusion.
In one such library in Tulsa Oklahoma, he found a crate containing a thick book (his current spellbook) and and a magnum revolver with strange inscribed ammunition.
I saw the gameplay thread come up and didn't realize this was still going on. I hope it isn't too late to get Lakra in.
Not so long ago, Lakra was an ordinary teenager living in Miami, skulking around the fringe of what you might call decent society. He grew up in a rough area, and he knew how to talk trash and handle himself in a scrap, but he was no different than anyone else in his neighborhood. Then there was the fight. It should have been just a regular brawl, but somehow a bat got in his hands, and that poor sucker wound up in the hospital, and Lou wound up doing two years in juvie.
That turned out to be a good education for him. When he got out, a month ago, his P.O. got him a job as a custodian at someplace called Pandora's Box out in the swamps. It was supposed to keep him cut off from the gangs while he rejoined the civilized world. Some kind of luck, he was there when the Koreans did their thing and the world turned into some kind of horror movie.
Even out in the Everglades, it changed him. His skin thickened and warped, and his eyes changed, to where he could see in the dark. He watched with the government freaks while the city ate itself alive, and then they said they could use him. Not to push a mop, but to go back into the world to scavenge supplies. It wasn't really a choice. The government types weren't big on choices. You did it their way, or you took a bullet in the head.

Cool. Hell-No Kitty (catfolk ninja 9) and Sergeant Gore Illa (orc barbarian 9) probably took you under their tutelage and taught you how to wield that big axe you carry around.
That said, I should have posted under a general alis. Okki is actually a toon from another game. I would actually like to submit Radsworth, an archeologist and professor turned spellslinger when Cthulu was reborn.
** spoiler omitted **
Radsworth's former academic colleague from Massachusetts, Professor Solomon Dirge of Arkham University, invited him to Pandora's Box back in 2009 with an urgent and frankly nonsensical e-mail, but it wasn't until Cthulhu's apocalyptic return to Earth that Radsworth took his old schoolmate's offer seriously.
He has just arrived at the facility after a perilous trek down the Gulf Coast from Texas, most likely rowing up in a stolen canoe.
Where are the rest of Rad's stats please? Feats, Skills, CMB, CMD, saves, attacks, damage, spell-like abilities, spells prepared, spellbook, gear, et cetera?
