Qwerty's PFS Masks of the Living God (Inactive)

Game Master qwerty1971

I am running low on spells and this man must feel the flames of Mephistopheles.

Stepping into the room Tyranius grasps his amulet within the cloak.

Feel the flames lick at your skin foolish prophet. Black flames leap out from Tyranius' hands, only striking the enemies within the room. The black fire clings to them like no other fire.

Channel Negative Energy: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Channel Negative Energy DC 20 Will save for Half damage; If fail the save they catch fire.
Selective Channeling to not target 5 friendlies

Rye steps up to the biggest threat in the room and hopes to finish this by cutting the head of the snake..and hopes it didn't turn out to be a hydra

To hit AC Krant: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 = 14 (bless)
Slashing damage if hit: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 5) + 7 = 14

Tyranius sends a wave of negative energy right at the raging Krant who WIL+Rage: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 shakes off the majority of it..minions cant hit worth a dang but their boss can save like a boss

and Rye steps up and strikes the man with his weapon drawing even more blood.

D,F,R: 1d3 ⇒ 2
Krant attacks Fahd with his club ATK: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15...DMG: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 and againATK: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10...DMG: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
BOTH MISSES!

Seeing their bully boss stand fast in the face of the enemy the two remaining mooks close into to attack

ATK vs Fahd: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16...DMG: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 MISS

Party is up

Damage Tracker
Krant- 61

Fahd swings twice and tries to bite Krant. "Time to finish this, evil one!"

Blessed attack one 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 = 9

Damage 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Blessed attack two 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 = 7

Blessed secondary bite attack 1d20 + 5 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 - 5 = 6

Damage1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Darvik shifts around to the backside of the big bad boss, looking to flank!

Scimitar: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 = 17 for Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Shield: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 14 for Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

"Time to die, Krant!" says sternly Tametomo, moving in the room to not have any cover.

Longbow, PBS, rapid, smite, bless: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 22 for Arrow: 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9
Longbow, PBS, rapid, smite, bless: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 29 for Arrow: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

Rye looks at the onslaught taking place around him and decides to join in as he swings his greatsword down with an overhand chop

To hit AC Krant: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 1 = 16(bless)
Slashing damage if hit: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 6) + 7 = 18

In case Krant went down already. Moving and aiming for something else

The acolyte which attacked Fahd from his flank threw off his timing and the pugilist missed with all his attacks. However Fahd distracts Krant with his attacks which allows Darvik to move to and attack the man at his back and both attacks hit sending the large man crashing down bleeding from many wounds. Tametomo sees this and manages to change his target and send two arrows into the chest of the foe attacking Tyranius while Rye continues his advance and cuts down the man on Fahds flank...

combat over..

he was a lvl 6 foe

I hated that guy.

Darvik will quickly search the man.

"Can anyone check these goons for magic? I'm sure there are some goodies here that could be helpful."

Anyone help out the narrative here? I've forgotten exactly what our mission was other than root out the evil, etc. Is there anything else we need to achieve here?

Rye shakes his head, indicating that he won't be of any help in detecting magic

I think that's it...make sure they don't do bad stuff/make money to raise an army anymore...but I could be wrong and missing something as well

"I dont know much, wish i knew more. this is what i know-
*The cult of Razmir appeared in Tamran about 2 years ago, first as a small band of missionaries. They soon raised the funds to build a temple, which was constructed over a year ago. Their power and influence in the city have grown ever since, and the local guards
seem to give them no heed, even going so far as to dismiss any reports of their foul practices. I suspect that the city guards help protect the temple, watching out for thieves and intruders.
* Members of the cult go out frequently to aid the poor and proselytize. I suspect this is just a cover for their more illegal activities, such as thievery, blackmail, and extortion. I have seen them beat a man to within an inch of his life, claiming the humble
cobbler stole from the temple, while the city guards merely watched the event and took no action.
* Members of the faith heavily guard the temple itself by day and night. They hold no public services, so the only real way in is to join their religion. I know that they interview applicants at the Ranger’s Lament, a tavern across the street from the temple. If you hope to gain entrance, attending one of these meetings is the best way. The next meeting is scheduled for tomorrow night.
* I know that a group from the temple left to head up north a few months ago and returned a month later, minus a few of their number. After that group arrived in town, they hurried back to the temple, and he is not sure what happened while they were away. About a week
ago, another group, this one led by a female cultist in blue robes, left the temple and boarded a boat. I think this might be the temple’s leader, but I cannot be sure. They have not been seen since.
* I have no clue how many there are since they wear masks and wear the same style of clothes. most wear white robes, some wear gray,
and a few wear black.
That is what I know. I want you all to get more information for the Pathfinder Society on these cultists."

evidence against the cult other than your testimony

Yay! Good job everyone!

Tametomo leans on his longbow, satisfied.

"Why don't we start searching, then? I suggest we begin to search Krant's office."

We have all the time we need, can we take 20? Highest in our group may be Fahd for a 28...

"If there are no more ennemies around, yes, let's search the offices and take all evidence we can find," the halfling says. She then casts stabilize on the still-alive opponents and detect magic on the items found on the bodies.

"I don't trust that this is all of the defenses of the cult. I'd say we keep on our toes and first make sure there are no reinforcements. Then we can find all the evidence we need."

Rye nods at Chella and Fahds words

"Seems to be the most logical thing to do right now"

Chella discovers the fallen are too far gone for stabilize to work.

The party search the room taing their time to be thurough. On Krants body they find a +1 greatclub, hide armor, filthy gray robes, and a mask of fear. figuring someone has spellcraft and will eventually determine what the items are

The rest of the fallen had in their possession short swords, daggers (2), saps, studded leather armor, light wooden shields, white robes, and iron masks

Darvik will take a couple of daggers, just to have them handy. OK then, lets move.

Tyranius smiles as he removes the mask of fear from Krant and places it on his own face.

Yes, This will fit nicely.

Seeing everyone look at him he smiles. We should put this to good use.

"Indeed Tyranius, indeed. Let's search the whole place!" says Tametomo moving towards the stairs.

@Tametomo: which stairs?

The stairs on the right. Is there a place we didn't have time to explore?

upstairs...and you killed the bully, but not the guy who brought you in to the cult...

Oh, right! So let's wander around and see where he is :)

Tametomo sees that he has wounds not healed, so he hands the wand at Chella. "Would you mind?"

CLW Wand: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (6, 3) + 2 = 11

Fahd starts heading up the stairs, leading the others. "There has to be good stuff upstairs. I bet there will be some evidence hidden there."

Fahd and Tametomo lead the group up the stairs to the second floor of the temple. This is an area forbidden for lower members to enter for fear of punishment, but you pathfinders hardly care about that rule now. A large golden mask rests upon a marble pedestal at the top of
the stairs, with a green gemstone set into the mask’s forehead, and smaller gems set around it. A stained glass window in the wall behind the pedestal depicts a similar mask. The group is not quite at the landing yet.

new map posted, feel free to place yourselves on the stairs in the order you like.

Fahd takes a look around the room, careful not to touch anything, looking for traps. "I doubt they are leaving this nice mask out here all unprotected. Be careful."

Perception 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Rye follows the others up the stairs...taking his normal position of guarding the rear.

Approaching the large mask Tyranius inspects it for any sort of magic.

How can a false god control so many people?

Detect magic

Tyranius detects not one but two sources of magic emanating from the statue.

Tyranius continues to concentrate on the sources to see if he can discern what their properties are.

There seems to be something in the mask here.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Darvik will also ask for assistance with healing.

Can I just take the average of 5/charge out of combat?

What kind of magic? Useful or harmful?

Don't touch the mask. One of the stones will send courses of lightning through your body. The other stone... Tyranius points to it. ...Will let them know we are coming. he says with a devilish smile.

Shall we let them know their doom is upon them?

If anyone is low on healing go ahead and roll it. I will check ticks off of Tyranius' wand and use it.

If many of you are wounded, I can channel energy

"There might not be anyone left here. We've cut quite a path through their ranks already! Can anyone deactivate e traps?"

Rye shakes his head at Fahd's question

"Other then triggering it. I have no method for deactivating it"

Fahd points to the closed doors. "Maybe we could set up an ambush there and keep only one or two of them able to hit us," he whispers the suggestion.

"Indeed, that could be a good option. There's noise beneath the doors." he whispers.

Rye nods and draws his sword

Fahd leads the party towards the doors. As they get closer they can hear someone barking out orders to others to hurry up and pack certain items, leave other items and the like.

most likely last combat so if you want to buff up go ahead.

No buffs here but if we have some sort of group buffs available I'd enjoy them! Darvik is ready!

Already used my smite -_-

Tametomo nods to say he's ready.

No buffs here, so as ready as it's going to be

I assume Fahd's half hour mutagen has also run out. If less than 30 minutes have passed since we started fighting let me know.

Holding his medallion Tyranius whispers a soft prayer to Mephistopheles.

Cast Bless

Tyranius casts his spell and the party rushes in to the room. This room has many doors, three on each side and a pair of double doors opposite the entrance. In the center of the chamber, a two step dais serves as a base for a sculpture made up of dozens of masks, carefully forged into a humanoid shape. Quite suddenly, a voice booms out from the chamber asking, “Who are the true gods?” Just as suddenly as the voice came, all is silent.

you each have 1 round to say an answer.

In the background on the other side of the room you hear someone say "They are here!"

"Razmir is the one true God," Fahd calls out, shrugging his shoulders.
