Seeing a ghost Yap forgoes his heal attack.. On his round he casts Blessing of Fervor..

Huge Magical Beast (N).

Bo uses bane as a swift action and attacks the worm.. Using grit and bonus attack from BoF..

Boom unloads on the worm

Using my bandolier and rapid reload to reload as many as he can

Not 100% sre but I think for long guns rapid reload brings it down to a standard action to fully reload. The bandolier gets you one round as a swift action.

You either have a pump with 5 round magazine, and a full action reload before rapid reload (reduces to move action), or a break action double barrel with 2 rounds of capacity, where reload is move lowered to swift. The bandolier will do as Bo says.

reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 Takes 45

Obi loads one steel, ghost-salt treated round and shoots the ghost.

riffle: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 18 + 1 = 23 (pbs, steel, deadly aim, ghost salt)

damage: 1d10 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 1 = 12

[ooc] oh...pumps have magazines...I did not realize that. I had in my brain a shell was just crammed in theough a slot at the bottom, like in most shooter video games when you reload. As you can tell I know nothing of guns :) makes shot on the run note valuable for this build I think[. I'll reload next round then[/ooc ]

Between Bo and Boom blasting away, they slay the worm, which promptly explodes in a 100' radius blast of icy shards for
cold: 12d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 6, 4, 5, 2, 3, 5, 2) = 39
piercing: 8d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 3, 1, 4, 5, 6, 4) = 32

DC 25 reflex for 1/2

ghost reflex: 1d20 ⇒ 19 pass

The ghost then flies towards you and moans.

DC 22 will save or be panicked.

PCs are up.

reflex: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 2 = 22

Takes 71.

will vs panic: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 2 + 3 = 19

Obi panics and leaps off the carpet to feather fall to the ground?

That seems reasonable.

If's it a fear effect you get +4 to the save..

Reflex: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (6) + 24 = 30 save, take 35..
Reflex: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (20) + 26 = 46 exasion

Bo Will: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (14) + 25 = 39 Bo is immune if it's fear effect.
Yap Will: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (19) + 23 = 42

Know Religion on Ghost: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35
Yap Know Religion: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35

You can ask general questions (2) about ghosts, but since they are all variable, you really can't get much from just knowing it is a ghost as this is a unique one.

Ghosts in general are incorporeal, have undead traits, and are mostly evil.

I was counting my +3, so your +4 won't help enough.

I often buy a ring of feather fall, I don't know if one ever saved my life before.

Question: since we used the carpet do I have my fly spell in my armor for the day?

Yes, you didn't waste it Jan.

Yap casts Ghostbane Dirge(DC 18) and then quicken channels to heal..

Channel: 9d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 3, 2, 6, 2, 4, 1, 6) = 31

Bo fires once then reloads as a move action. +2 from BoF..

Attack: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (15) + 25 = 40 steel
Dam: 1d8 + 23 ⇒ (3) + 23 = 26

Touch AC is 23..

If ghostbane doesn't work then Miss: 1d100 ⇒ 17

1d20 ⇒ 15 Yap's spell seems to have no effect.

This is Pathfinder, you don't have a miss chance on incorporeal, it's 1/2 damage.

Incensed that Bo would dare shoot him, the Ghost moves up and tried to bite him.

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 8 damage: 3d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 2, 6) + 7 = 21 and it misses.

PCs are up (Jan and Obi for round 1, Bo and Boom for round 2)

1d20 + 21 ⇒ (13) + 21 = 34 ref + evasion
1d20 + 20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 20 + 4 = 33 will vs fear

shotgun+PB: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (17) + 34 = 51 for 1d8 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23
bayonet PA: 1d20 + 23 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 23 - 4 = 29 for 1d6 + 15 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 15 + 13 = 32
bayonet PA: 1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 18 - 4 = 25 for 1d6 + 15 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 15 + 13 = 29

Boom teleports a slug into his gun and shoots at the ghost, then he takes a 5 ft step to where Obi was and finishes out his attacks with his bayonet.

if for some reason that doesn't work due to positioning, then just do a full round reload

Is Obi still panicked after falling a great distance?

Bo uses smite evil as a swift action and shoots the ghost. Grit used. BoF for extra attack..

"May your soul be at rest.."

Attack 1: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (20) + 26 = 46 steel
Attack 2: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (5) + 26 = 31
Attack 3: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (11) + 26 = 37
Attack 4: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (3) + 21 = 24
Attack 5: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35

Dam 1: 1d8 + 25 + 10 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 25 + 10 + 10 = 49 smite evil/clusttered shots
Dam 2: 1d8 + 25 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 25 + 10 = 40
Dam 3: 1d8 + 25 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 25 + 10 = 37
Dam 4: 1d8 + 25 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 25 + 10 = 37
Dam 5: 1d8 + 25 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 25 + 10 = 42

If for some reason the ghost is not evil -4 to hit, -20 damage on first attack, -10 to the others.

Yap delays..

Obi fell from the carpet to the ledge, not over it. His panic is a function of duration, so he is still panicked. He will run to away from the ghost which means out to the edge of the ledge. Normally panic would prevent you from doing something dangerous, but with the fog bank at the edge, you can't know when to stop and over you go, wafting your way down the ridiculously high cliff via feather fall. Someone will have to collect you after the battle.

Used BoF for the AC
Forgot to post that

"Aiiiiyeeeee!!!!!"

Oh good, now when I miss the Will Save I won't die as hard.

Relfex Save: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20
Will Save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16 +4 vs Fear

Called it.

Jan flies away from the horrifying ghost after taking a ton of damage from the worm.

The ghost tries to attack Bo again, this time with a touch and a bite.

touch to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 16 damage: 15d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 2, 6, 6, 5, 4, 5, 5, 1, 3, 1, 6, 6, 3) = 56 cold: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10 hit
bite to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 5 damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 4) + 7 = 16 miss

PCs are up.

"Aiiiyeeee!!!" the rest hear from far away on the ground.

or, the PCs are up or down as the case may be.

Bo fires once more before reloading as a move action.. +2 from BoF..

Attack: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (12) + 30 = 42
Dam: 1d8 + 25 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 25 + 10 = 37

With Smite up his Touch AC is 25.. If it's not evil 23..

Yap hits Bo with a cure critical wounds.. Followed by a quickened cure serious..

Heals: 7d8 + 28 ⇒ (2, 4, 4, 2, 8, 1, 2) + 28 = 51

G-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-ghoooooosst!

waiting to see if Boom can finish it this round.

Post later today

Boom bayonetes the ghost to redeath

bayonet PA: 1d20 + 28 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 28 - 4 = 41 for 1d6 + 15 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 13 = 31
bayonet PA: 1d20 + 23 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 23 - 4 = 37 for 1d6 + 15 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 15 + 13 = 34
bayonet PA: 1d20 + 18 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 18 - 4 = 18 for 1d6 + 15 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 13 = 31
Fervor
bayonet PA: 1d20 + 28 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 28 - 4 = 26 for 1d6 + 15 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 15 + 13 = 32

Between Boom's and Bo's attack, the ghost dissipates. Combat over, except for the screams as Obi slow motion falls to the base of the cliff.

"Imma grab Obi real fast.."

Bo swoops back down with the carpet and picks up the falling dwarf.. After returnign he will have a look see around..

Perc: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (14) + 27 = 41 detect magic

"guh ...guh ...guh ...guh ... ghost!"

He will follow him till he comes out of it then he gets him..

The corpse is wearing magic padded armor (I can imagine everyone is salivating over that) but there is nothing else.

Boom collects the bits and pieces of the body, and preps to head back

assume this is the one we are looking for

Yes.

Once you gather up the bones to take them back to the cabin you hear a frightful howl in the distance (DC 28 will save) and the force of the blizzard gets appreciably worse.

will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 (+4 vs fear, +5 vs magic)

With your fear bonus you make it.

(should have mentioned it is a fear effect)
