Samnell's Gestalt, Mythic Wrath of the Righteous (Inactive)

Game Master Samnell

Yridhrennor will cast Protection from evil on Staeve, Galin, and Theran. He'll cast Haste on everyone, too.

Galin just cast Protection from Evil on himself, so no need for that one if you want to put it on Blink or someone else.

[Oh.. ya. Duh! will cast on Blink.

Sorry for my part in dragging this out. RL has not been great.

Jestak ACs: 25, T14, F21

Round 1

Blink opens the door and finds a hulking woman wielding a tremendous sword at the ready. "You killed them! They died by my blade, but you killed them! Lord Staunton will stay his hand if I give him your heads!"

With a triumphant cry, she launched herself at Blink. Her huge sword nearly claimed the woman's head as promised. Instead it twisted against the warding magic that guarded her and left Blink unscathed.

Order is Jestak, Yridhrennor, Blink, Galin, Theran, Steave. The party is up!

Galin nearly jumped in shock at seeing the woman waiting for them, but quickly recovers himself, snaps his fingers, and sends a flurry of sparking arrows through the doorway over Blink's shoulder.
Sacred weapon to add Shock to my arrows.

Damage: 1d8 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (8) + (6) + (6) + 6 = 26

Well then... Lowest attack roll was a 24, even if that misses he did 100 damage this turn assuming her AC isn't above a 32 (140 if it's below a 24.

Not sure if there's much point after Galin's murder spree, but let's see if we can help.

Using Dimensional Slide to get to the other side - and clearing the way for Steave or Theran to move in and flank with her - Blink lashed out with her own blade.

To Hit: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Sneak Attack (if applicable): 3d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 1) = 13

Yridhrennor speaks in that same eldritch tongue as before. But, this time, his words are squeaky and chirping, like some sort of primal ape. His words take form as a dimly glowing cloud which explodes into a troop of tiny screeching monkeys that swarm over the giant woman!

Sorry for my part in dragging this out. RL has not been great.

That's why we all spend so much time in fantasy worlds!

Should the barrage of arrows be insufficient, Theran will step up.

Seeing the enemy in the doorway between Theran and Blink, Steeve ricochets his shield in the doorframe.

Yridhrennor speaks in that same eldritch tongue as before. But, this time, his words are squeaky and chirping, like some sort of primal ape. His words take form as a dimly glowing cloud which explodes into a troop of tiny screeching monkeys that swarm over the giant woman! She kept her weapon in hand but they found every tender spot and bit deep.

Using Dimensional Slide to get to the other side - and clearing the way for Steave or Theran to move in and flank with her - Blink lashed out with her own blade and struck true.

Galin nearly jumped in shock at seeing the woman waiting for them, but quickly recovers himself, snaps his fingers, and sends a flurry of sparking arrows through the doorway over Blink's shoulder. Amazingly, the woman did not yet fall despite being thoroughly feathered.

The barrage of arrows being insufficient, Theran stepped up with his earthbreaker and landed a solid blow.

Seeing the enemy in the doorway between Theran and Blink, Steeve ricochets his shield in the doorframe and caught her soundly. He only caught the weak spots of her armor once, but it was enough. Still swarmed over with monkeys, the woman had just enough time to look in astonishment as the shield flew toward her before it made contact and she fell.

Yrihrennor motions for his monkeys to stay about him as the group continues. "they might come I bhandy?"

Galin quickly moves into the room, looking around for any other enemies before scanning his surroundings and the fallen women.
Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

That's the luck I'm more used to lol

Theran cocks his head, waiting. It's rare to have a battle so simple.

Blink poked the fallen woman. "I don't think that she reacted well to arrows," a touch of awe in her voice. With the woman dead, she started look around - including the fallen woman.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Yridhrennor searches as well. perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

"Who was she?" Captain Andoran asks.

"Who was she?" Captain Andoran asks.

Maybe if you let her murder someone, she'd have introduced herself. :)

The crusaders looked thoroughly about the chamber, which looked to be a barracks. Dozens of beds filled much of the room, all jammed together with little space between them. A dozen human bodies lie in a heap to one side, while a dozen human heads sit to the east. Nothing unusual lurks among them.

"Angry, apparently," Blink replied dryly, gesturing to the pile of bodies. And the very separate pile of heads. "Are we ready to continue?"

Galin cracks a smile at Blink's comment, I've never met someone who does, but from the looks of this room, she had it coming. Let's leave this mess behind.

"I... yes... we should.. go? Maybe.. ... I have the monkeys..."

"I... yes... we should.. go? Maybe.. ... I have the monkeys..."

Have the monkeys play with the heads. There's treasure in a head. Also magic.

Yridhrennor could send the monkeys to search the area and /or scout?

Assuming everyone was fit and ready to continue, Blink checked out the door in the Eastern wall.

Blink found a small storage closet in the east wall, and a matching one to the west. Neither held more than ordinary supplies.

Given she was quite out the closet for her appreciation of both the masculine and the feminine, Blink moved back to the previous room and tried the double doors to the east.

[dice=Perception]1d20+10

Blink found a broad corridor that led her out to one of Drezen's battlements.

As she had a sneaky suspicion of where the similar doors to the West would go, Blink tried the ones just above on the East walls.

Blink found a disused barracks which itself opened to a guardroom that took her back around to a corridor she'd partially explored previously.

Blink considered her mental map. "I think we've gone everywhere that we can access without digging out the rocks," she reported after a moments though. There was one room to the South of the western Temple, but other than that...

I'm not sure what the red wavy line is that blocks that door, so I'm not sure if we need to dig it out.

It's a tapestry.

"Except the door in the South wall of the temple," Bliss added, heading that way. Pulling aside the heavy cloth seemed just as potentially dangerous as opening a door, and so she checked it out.

Perception + Trapfinding: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 2 = 23

Just realized I haven't participated in this game for like a week, sorry about that.
Galin nods, We've been very thorough so far in our exploration. Until we have time to bring our army to do the heavy lifting, that door is likely the last part of this fortress that we can get to.

Error on my part with the map earlier. You can get over the rubble I've scribbled on in red if you clamber a bit. No need to excavate heavily. Sorry.

South of the temple, Blink found a chamber where two statues stood. Each was an armored woman, her sword raised. Numerous smashed and empty chests sat on the floor. Her keen eyes and a Paizo map blooper that gives it away :) noted a hidden door on one wall.

"Blink, you want to try the hidden door?"

I'm sorry, work has been...bad. I didn't even see this, for some reason.

Nodding, Blink moved up to the door and tried to figure out any traps on the thing, or how to open the thing.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 2 = 15

Blink opened the door without any trouble. She came into a chamber wherein a magnificent banner hung from a metal rod, bearing a sword before a sunburst in the hands of an armored woman. Just to its south sat a gleaming alabaster altar. Another four statues flanked the room, each wearing a real suit of armor, while to the south hung a tattered red and gold tapestry.

The intact banner had to be the Sword of Valor, a sacred relic lost with Drezen and which is proof against demonkind when planted by one of pure heart.

Blink whistled low, a sound like a breeze in the limbs of a tree. "Guess the new owners didn't think too hard about secret rooms, or maybe Her blessings were on this room and they couldn't find it."

Hanging back from the banner - most definitions of pure didn't include ex-thieves - Blink examined the armours, using Detect Magic to see if they were more than simply magical, and checked the rest of the room. A secret compartment in a secret room seemed entirely possible.

[dice=Perception + Detect Magic]1d20+10

One of the suits of armor shows moderate abjuration. The others are mundane.

Despite her best efforts, Blink found no hidden compartments.

Brass, curious, moved to check out the suit of magical armour.

A suit was of gold-planted mithril plate, the armor bore Iomedae's sign on its breast. It looked very sturdy and useful, for all that it also gleamed like ready for a parade.

"That is...impressive," said Blink, looking at her own darkened and battered armour. Somehow she didn't think she'd be sneaking well in the shining pile of clank, but it would likely suit one of the others with the usual tweeks full plate required. Still..."Shiny."

Yridhrennor turns his arcane sight on the armor.

Yridhrennor can confirm the obvious: it is magical. His divination shows moderate abjuration.

While we’re casually waiting around, Steave will try to sniff out the pungent smell of evil.

Detect Evil

While we’re casually waiting around, Steave will try to sniff out the pungent smell of evil.

Detect Evil

Steave senses a potent taint coming from the statue and the altar both.

Strong evil.

"Crusaders. The statue and altar both emanate a strong odor of evil. Do we have any way to reconsecrate them?" Steave asks with his face contorted as if he was smelling a skunk.

Yridhrennor shakes his head. This armor is enchanted.. abjuration--protections spells, often. Perhaps I can learn more.."

he continues to study the armor.

"It looks like a Shrine to the Inheritor," Blink considered, trying to remember what she could of the Inheritor and how to possibly bring her blessings back.

[dice=Knowledge (Religion)]1d20+10

Blink doesn't recognize any visible signs of desecration about the altar. Ordinarily, restoring it and destroying any profane objects left about would do the job but there are none in evidence. Indeed, there's nothing that would lead her to believe the altar accursed save Steave's sense of it.

Galin looks closely at the altar, trying to discern if the evil that Steave senses is coming from something specific or the entire atmosphere has permeated the once-holy piece.
