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

Game Master qwerty1971

Tametomo shugs. "What is this question? Shizuru!" he says, readying an arrow.

nope and nope...any other guesses?

Haha should we say 'the almighty GM'? :D

"Oh, I've got it," Fahd exclaims as he takes two steps forward and tries to sunder the door.

Sunder CMB 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Tyranius boldy strides forward as he hold his medallion of the pierced trident high into the air. With a loud proclaiming voice he bellows. Mephistopheles is the one true god!

Who are the true gods? We are! And we'll prove it if you show yourself! Darvik has had enough religion for a while.

Rye shrugs

"..if they don't accept Razmir, the guy they worship as the correct answer...then I have no clue"

The answer provided do not seem to satisfy the question. The maks statue on the dais quickly jumps down in a threatening manner to attack the party.

The Golem, made of a multitude of masks, begins to break apart into a swarm of masks that fly out to attack the party centered on Rye.
Rye, Darvik, Tametomo and Tyranius are caught in the mask swarm
DMG Rye: 1d6 ⇒ 6
DMG Darvik: 1d6 ⇒ 6
DMG Tametomo: 1d6 ⇒ 4
DMG Tyranius: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Four masks also shoot out trying to attach themselves on the faces of those individuals caught in the swarm...
Golem CMB vs Rye 17: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 HIT
Golem CMB vs Darvik 20: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 FAIL
Golem CMB vs Tametomo 18: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 HIT
Golem CMB vs Tyranius 11: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 HIT

Fahd and Chella are stunned by seeing three masks attach to the faces of their friends while Darvik is busy fighting off the swarm to notice.

Combat 1st Round
Golem
Tametomo, Tyranius, Rye, Fahd, Chella, Darvik

After getting hit by the mask in the face and feeling it take a hold Rye releases one hand from his great sword and tears of the mask with his now free hand before letting it drop away from him and taking a step back out of the swarm of masks

Are the masks that makes up the swarm indiviually big enough to damage the swarm with melee weapons for half damage?

So, we are fighting a swarm? If so, I'm useless here. I don't see a token for the golem itself.

If you don't care to elaborate, DM, is it a swarm, a golem, or a little bit of both? I'm not sure how to react this this wild thing?!

Tametomo struggles with the mask but doesn't seem to succeed in detaching it from his face.

it is a mask golem with a special attack that allows the masks to dis-enjoin and become a swarm. it's token is the purple outlined marker occupying the four squares of its targets. This swarm takes half damage from slashing and piercing weapons.

Rye manages to resist the willpower of the mask and forces it off his face, he then takes a 5 ft step out of the masks area. Tametomo struggles with the mask and manages to resist its power but cant seem to get it off his face.

Tametomo, Tyranius, Rye, Fahd, Chella, Darvik

Darvik takes a step out of the swarm and tries to attack it!

Scimitar: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 for Slashing: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Shield: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 for Blunt: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Are we still stunned?

This golem looks neat

Will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Tyranius stands defiant against the mask. You will never control this mind. Striding further into the room he continues to hold his medallion high into the air as he releases flames as he walks.

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

Fahd moves to the closest mask and tries to kick it out of the air.

Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

apologies Chella- stunned in the traditional sense as in shocked. poor choice of words from a pathfinder perspective. not pathfinder stunned.

Tyranius channels negative energy WIL: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 which forces the swarm to burst in flames for damage and begin re-joining itself out of swarm mode and back to its original statue form minus the masks already on someones face...
Darvik attacks the reforming statue golem and manages to do some damage with his shield and Fahd also strikes the statue that is reforming doing solid damage.

Chella
Golem
Tametomo, Tyranius, Rye, Fahd, Chella, Darvik

ok... no worries :)

Concentration for casting Touch of good defensively (DD 17): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Chella concentrates and put her hands on Tametomo's shoulder to give him a bit of inspiration but she is unable to maintain her concentration.

1d6 ⇒ 6

The golem locks on Fahd and strikes at him with its two arm like extensions trying to slam the brawler...

Slam 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11...DMG: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 MISS
Slam 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19...DMG: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 HIT

Striking the bald man

Tametomo, Tyranius, Rye, Fahd, Chella, Darvik
Golem

Tyranius' fingers twist into various positions which look like they should break his fingers but do not. A small invisible pentagram appears just south of the golem.

Place a Blast Rune

Darvik continues to attack the strange enemy!

Scimitar: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 for Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Shield: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 for Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Confirm?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11 for Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Rye gets a good grip on his sword with both hands again and swings the golem with all his might as he steps into a position where he think the golem might be a more distracted

To hit AC Golem: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 + 2 = 22 (bless and flanking with Tametomo - not sure if he's treathing right now though so maybe my attack roll is 2 less)
Slashing damage if hit: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 5) + 7 = 17

Fahd punches away twice at the golem.

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

With a few solid hits landed by Darvik, Rye and Fahd, the team manages to destroy the golem and send the masks to the floor in a pile.
Combat over

The group catches its breath and can heal if so desired.

Darvik will ask for healing once more.

CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Alright, on to the next challenge, eh?

Fahd would appreciate someone using his wand of CLW on him as well.

CLW 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

The group quickly heals themselves and then move to the double doors. On the other side voices discuss grabbing documents and wealth to flee. Suddenly the voice of Egarthis says to the others in that room..."I hear no more sounds of combat, they must have destroyed the mask guardian."

Rye also digs out a wand and quickly uses it on himself before storing it again, wielding his sword once more ready for combat

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Nice job, team!

Tametomo will use his wand to cure himself.

CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Once the group was ready, Pau again tried to use his sunder ability on the door.

Sunder CMB 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Fahd strikes at the door and the door flies open revealing a large room on the other side. A large plush bed on the south wall, facing a carved oak desk on the north side, furnishes this large and opulently decorated chamber. In the center of the room, a large carpet, woven with the mask of the Razmir at its center, spreads across the floor. In the room are Egarthis (pictured on map) and what you believe are two other Heralds of Razmir armed with rapiers and shields. Egarthis and a herald are at the desk rummaging through documents while the other herald is on the other side of the room putting items into sacks.

Heralds, Egarthis
Darvik, Rye, Tametomo, Fahd, Tyranius, Chella

The trio is prepared for the party's intrusion. "Kill them!" Egarthis says and the two heralds draw their weapons and advance towards the doorway.
*Red vs Darvik
Rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8...DMG: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 MISS
Light Shield Bash: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10..DMG: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 MISS
*Black vs Fahd

Rapier Possible Crit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26...DMG: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 Confirmed

The red Herald misses Darvik but the black Herald pierced a vital spot on Fahd right after he broke open the door...

Party is up

Darvik will lash out at the Red Herald!

Scimitar: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 for Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Shield: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 for Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 for Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Again, Chella activates her wand of bless to bolster her allies.

Wand of bless 1 charge

Can we walk on or climb the grey statue, east of the party?

Fahd punches away twice at the black clad enemy that just wounded him so grievously.

Blessed Attack 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 1 = 21
Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Blessed Attack 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19
Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Darvik manages to strike the Red foe with his shield bash while Fahd lands his first punch on the black foe. Chella bolsters the partys chances.

Heralds, Egarthis
Darvik, Rye, Tametomo, Fahd, Tyranius, Chella

the statue was the mask golem so all there is now is a dais the statue was on, you can stand on it if you want to.

Having no other option Rye swings his sword past Fadh, trying to hit around the corner of the door frame trying to hit someone

To hit AC black: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 1 - 4 = 26 (bless + cover)
Slashing damage if hit: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 5) + 7 = 17

To confirm vs AC black: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 1 - 4 = 8 (bless + cover)

Rye swings and solidly hits the black herald.

Tyranius draws a deadly looking sickle from his side and attempts to hook the red herald from around the corner.

Mwk Sickle: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

does someone want to bot Tametomo?

Tametomo fires two arrows at the closest guy. I'll let you apply cover

Longbow, PBS, rapid, bless: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 = 16 for Arrow: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Longbow, PBS, rapid, bless: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 1 = 25 for Arrow: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Tametomo steps on the now vacant dais to get a better shot at the black herald.. and just barely hit the man with his second arrow...

Heralds, Egarthis
Darvik, Rye, Tametomo, Fahd, Tyranius, Chella

The black herald takes a step back, fumbles with with his belt, grabs a potion and drinks it.

*The Red foe continues to attack Darvik
Rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14DMG: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5MISS
Light Shield Bash: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17DMG: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2MISS

Egarthis continues speaking softly and moving his arms in circular patterns...

Darvik will press on, attacking the man in front of him!

Scimitar: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 for Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Shield: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 for Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Darvik misses with his attack...

Darvik, Rye, Tametomo, Fahd, Tyranius, Chella

Fahd takes a 5' step forward and punches away twice at the black clad enemy.

Blessed Attack 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 = 23
Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Blessed Attack 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 = 11
Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Fahd steps into the room and strikes at the black herald with his first punch...

Seeing Fahd step into the room Rye takes a step forward and with an over-hand chop brings down his great sword at the Red herald

To hit AC Red: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 = 14 (bless)
slashing damage if hit: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2) + 7 = 10

Seeing that Fahd is wounded, Chella steps on the dais, moves toward the brawler and casts a spell to heal him.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Chella moves to heal the brawler as he faces the herald in combat...

Darvik, Rye, Tametomo, Fahd, Tyranius, Chella
Heralds, Egarthis

Tametomo tries to find an opening and shoot at the red mercenary.

Longbow, PBS, rapid, bless: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 1 = 22 for Arrow: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
