| Fernus Stonecall |
Fernus tries casting magic missle at the herald again, hopin he could once penetrate its magic defenses.
Caster check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Magic Missile damage if SR is beat: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 4) + 4 = 17
| Tarinhilliberanavius |
I thought she was immune to all elemental damage? Well, hello. Someone want to tell the dive-bombing alchemist that little detail?
| Vincente Valentino Valdemar |
Whether it be his newly found disregard for his own well-being due to a lack of common sense or it be from the fact that he felt the need to put his opponent down, Vinny did not relent, he actually put caution to the wind and pushed even harder with powerful strikes.
Non-Lethal Sneak Powerful Flurry: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 32
1d6 + 7 + 8d6 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 7 + (4, 3, 5, 4, 6, 2, 2, 4) + 16 = 58
Non-Lethal Sneak Powerful Flurry: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 17
1d6 + 7 + 8d6 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 7 + (3, 1, 3, 3, 5, 6, 2, 2) + 16 = 51 1d6 ⇒ 1=51
Non-Lethal Sneak Powerful Flurry: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 16
1d6 + 7 + 8d6 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 7 + (5, 1, 3, 1, 3, 5, 2, 6) + 16 = 52 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8=58
Non-Lethal Sneak Powerful Flurry: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 9
1d6 + 7 + 8d6 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 7 + (6, 3, 5, 1, 2, 6, 6, 6) + 16 = 61 no need to reroll once, automiss
| Tarinhilliberanavius |
I stopped bombing because someone said it resisted all elements. I have liquid ice, acid and bottled lightning and am not afraid to use it -- but since Tarinhil was told no elemental damage, he just stuck her to the floor and tried to dispel displacement. ;)
| Vincente Valentino Valdemar |
Between Darin and Fernus I should have also asked for religion but I made Darins check that.
Horror overwhelms you both as you realize this is the Herald of Lisala! You know that if you kill her she is going to not going to stay dead, she will come back and will come back quickly. She is resistant to pretty much all energy, and has SR, can drain you of your mental facility if you get hit by her. The only good news is that she seems to be a bit weakened, missing scales and looking emaciated.
Based on the way you worded that, and the fire doing nothing, I know I assumed, much like Tarin, that it would just ignore anything we put into it.
| Vincente Valentino Valdemar |
Further, I'm not sure what kind of AC this thing has, but based on what I have missed with, it has a 27 Flat-Footed AC, so this thing must have an insane AC.
| Vincente Valentino Valdemar |
Any shaken, frightened, or panicked opponent hit by you this round is flat-footed to your attacks until the end of your next turn. This includes any additional attacks you make this round.
| Unalaq |
"You say acid will affect it?" Unalaq's arms are suddenly covered with dripping acid.
Swift action to activate elemental assault
Attack 1 (regular): 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 35 Smiting, Bull's Strength, Haste
Damage 1: 1d6 + 36 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 36 + (5) = 45 Smiting (bypasses DR), Evil Outsider, Bull's Strength
Attack 2 (hasted): 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 39 Smiting, Bull's Strength, Haste
Confirm (Attack 2): 1d20 + 16 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 16 + 2 + 1 = 25 Smiting, Bull's Strength, Haste
Damage 2: 1d6 + 28 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 28 + (3) = 32 Smiting (bypasses DR), Bull's Strength
Extra Damage if Confirmed: 1d6 + 28 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 28 + (6) = 38
Note that if Attack 1 missed and Attack 2 hit, add 8 damage for Damage 2 or 16 damage if Attack 2 confirmed (due to first successful attack versus evil outsider)
Attack 3 (iterative): 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 2 + 1 = 18 Smiting, Bull's Strength, Haste
Damage 3: 1d6 + 28 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 28 + (5) = 38 Smiting (bypasses DR), Bull's Strength
| Tarinhilliberanavius |
Tarinhil's wings keep beating as his hands quickly mixing two dispelling bombs, thinking, If you're in two places at once, then I'll just hit both of them...
Dispelling Bomb #1: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 13 + 2 + 1 = 35
Dispelling Bomb #2: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 12
| Tarinhilliberanavius |
Sorry, didn't realize post was cut off... Here's hoping...
CLCheck: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
| Darin the Cheerful |
Darin will advance and attack.
Attack (Morningstar): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
Sigh. In case it hits (unlikely).
Damage (Morningstar): 1d8 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 4 + (3, 1) = 16
2d6 is from Holy if the creature is evil.
| Darin the Cheerful |
Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
We've got about 90 minutes before it reforms and comes back fully strong.
| Unalaq |
"Then we'd better get moving. Does the Herald have anything we should take with us? Otherwise, let's hurry to that door down there." Unalaq takes a quick look at the Herald's things, then flies down toward the door, waiting for Tarin to have a look at any traps.
Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 3
Unalaq would not have the knowledge to suggest it, but others in this group do. A 1 WIS Vinny will backfire on us in a big way if he gets controlled. Unless someone has a way to heal him or shut him down, he should be an out of sight rearguard and only get into a position where someone might control him as a last resort.
| Darin the Cheerful |
Do I have a way to know Vinny has hideously low Wisdom? And was it caused by magic or some poison?
Darin will approach Vinny.
You look like you've got a hangover. Unsurprisingly, I happen to know a way to cure that.
He casts lesser restoration, swapping communal ant haul for the spell with the Preferred Spell feat.
| Tarinhilliberanavius |
If we know, then protection from evil is our friend..
| Darin the Cheerful |
Well, it would still heal 1d4 of temporary damage/drain wouldn't it? Although at 1 Wisdom Vinny might think he doesn't need help - or, you know, clothes. It's super hot in here. And he's hungry. Oh, a squirrel!
| Tarinhilliberanavius |
Drain is much uglier than damage. Still, if we can't fix him, we can at least ward him against mental control. And me too. Last thing we need is our flying bomber turned against us.
Tarinhil says, "I worry, if that's meant to be the appetizer, that I won't much care for the entree. Hopefully the pathfinder agents will be a little less useless?"
He says, "Time to find traps and pick locks, I guess?"
| Darin the Cheerful |
Darin will cast communal protection from evil with his lesser extend metamagic rod.
A reading from the book of the Brawler: "And the cleric did say 'Oh Cayden Cailean, Bless These, Thine Holy Adventures so they may beat Thine enemies into useless jelly-like sacks of meat, in Thy Mercy.' And Cayden Cailean did grin, and spake 'First shalt thou touch the Holy Adventurers once, twice, then a third time. No more, no less. Three shall be the number of times you shalt touch the Adventurers and the number of touching shall be three. Four shalt thou not touch, neither touch thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached then shall My blessings be upon the Holy Adventurers who may then proceed to attack thine enemies, who being naughty in My sight, shall you snuff out.' And the adventurers did go forth and beat upon the orcs and goblins and ogres and necromancers and evil conveyers of sobriety, and there was much rejoicing." Here endeth the reading.
At the strange looks of his companions Darin shrugs.
Hey, I didn't write it.
16 minutes of Protection from evil for everyone.
| Vincente Valentino Valdemar |
Leaning down, Vinny rips some of the flesh off and takes a bite, then spits it out. "Oh, I'm good at that! Though, I could just open them up! She tastes nasty, by the way, I wouldn't suggest eating it."
| Darin the Cheerful |
Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23 In case we need another one.
| Fernus Stonecall |
Fernus looks at himself and the others with a worried look. "Perhaps we need some more healing before we head on. Does someone have a wand of healing on him we could use?"
| Darin the Cheerful |
Darin will channel again.
Channel: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12
Anybody not topped off by that?
| MiniGM |
The first thing everyone notices is that droplets of blood fall into a pattern which says
“Enjoy your victory, and I shall enjoy mine. In your
righteousness you have sacrificed my life to assure the
rise of another. May Runelord Krune skin you alive and
use your flesh as the canvas for the scriptures of Lissala’s
second coming!
Beyond that there is nothing else of interest.
89 minutes
At the southern end of the room is a door
A flight of stairs ascends to the north from the stone
ziggurat’s first tier, terminating in a large stone door. Carved
into the door’s center is a large seven-pointed star, known as
a Sihedron, with a palm-sized disk of blue-green metal inlaid
into each point and a handprint embedded in its center. The
disks glow softly with blue-green light, illuminating several
runes that surround the handprint.
| Darin the Cheerful |
Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
| Unalaq |
"How does this door look to you Tarin?"
| Tarinhilliberanavius |
Tarinhil says, "Ugly. But no accounting for tastes.", then turns to looking for traps.
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
| Fernus Stonecall |
Fernus does
Fernus looks up and reads carefully and out loud when the droplets begin to form words. Others can read the spoiler if they haven't already.
"Guys, I think we might have done runelord Krune a big service here... We should hurry up and try to find him in this complex, if not it might be too late for us to stop anything about it."
| Bear the Bear |
Bear can still use more healing...need 13 HP. I am pretty sure we bought at least 1-2 wands. Pooka has at least 1.
Cure light wounds wand 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Cure light wounds wand 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Cure light wounds wand 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Takes 3 charges. Bear is going to cast Magic Fang, greater. strong jaw and resinous skin while we wait those three rounds. He also Bulls STR as soon as we are ready to exit out of this room.
| Vincente Valentino Valdemar |
"We don't need to heal, we need to go!" Dangerous lack of self-control or awareness of danger having filled him.
