Seeker's Pathfinder Savage tide

Game Master seekerofshadowlight

Not trying to make a fuss but when I said move into the room in the previous round I was thinking more of a full move and not a 5 foot step. My bad for not being clearer

Yeah when ya guys move ya need to give me a little info, 4 blocks left,1 leftdown or something. Otherwise ya end up in places ya might not have liked

Well for what its worth I had been thinking 4 right to the rooms corner since it was about the only space that gave me a clean line to the creature for firing.

Crap. I really need to reread the rulebook cover-to-cover again. The older I get, it seems the less info I retain the first time around.

Daurros curses as the dispel has no effect. "Dammit! I should have known that it wouldn't work! The wall is an instantaneous effect!"

Seeker, does the wall go all the way to the ceiling, or is there a space? How high is the ceiling, exactly?

I'll let ya keep the scroll as Daurros would have known it would not work. And yes all the way up

Thanks! Of course, from a strictly metagame perspective, I just realized that wall of iron is a 6th level spell - but that's arcane. If he's divine, it could be 7th level. Gulp!

Second question - does it look to Daurros like a grease spell might make it easier to topple/move the statue?

It might but the stature is 10' tall and made smooth the the wall on one side. I Did use your grease spell however, which is how the elf got knocked down.

Finn in desperation tries to break down the wall with brute strength.

Str check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

It might but the stature is 10' tall and made smooth the the wall on one side. I Did use your grease spell however, which is how the elf got knocked down.

Yes, but I haven't used my bonded ring yet today; which would allow me to cast it again if I so choose. Just going over options.

I guess Daurros will put his shoulder into the statue and try to help the others.

1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

EDIT: And looks like he hurts himself in the process ...

Daurros seems at a lose what to do about the wall, Karkalla follows behinf Toxim with Daurros trailing them in a attempt to topple the stature as alone in the dark with the elf, Ardanto strikes out at the elf blindly but hits only empty air. Finn trys to slam though the wall but fails as Guard trys the same thing, having just as much luck. Thoven follows the others around the wall in time to see Karkalla Topple the statute, while it misses the elf it does seem to damage some of the wall a bit

As light floods the room Ardanto , Karkalla,Daurros, Toxim and Thoven see the bright light that flashes around the elf. They can see damage they have inflicted close and vanish. In an instant the dead elf stands undamaged before you. It gleams at you with a cold smile.

OK I made some rolls for Ardanto, he missed in the dark, also did not get an AoO for the elf's healing. I moved Thoven had guard try and bust though the wall and such.

"That's not working... Someone tell me what to do!" appearently the warforged is at a loss of options.

Karkalla opens fire on the thing again before stepping aside to let the others get at it

"Get in there and hit it till it stops moving?" Karkalla suggests before thinking for a moment "Actually It says were thieves and the only think we have taken so far is a Necklace so maybe if Daurrous offered ta give it back?"

OK I made some rolls for Ardanto.

I was not planning on attacking and only talking, or babbling random elven words at it in the dark, but I missed any way, so no harm done.

Ardanto blinks trying to clear his vision as some light floods into his small walled off area, the group are just in time to hear him shout the elven word for "Bread!"

Are we going to press the attack?

He shrugs at those he can see and waves his swords around menacingly.

What kind of material is the wall behind Ardanto? How thick is it?

"My friends, I'm thinking discretion may be the better part of valor here. Ardanto, can you get by him? I'm not certain we can defeat a spellcaster of this magnitude!"

Daurros invokes the power of his bonded object to cast scorching ray again.

attack 1d20 ⇒ 6
damage 4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 2, 4) = 13

EDIT: crap

Ok I can say Ardanto did not attack and babbled random elven words. The wall behind him is stone, finn. About 8 inches thick

Hm. The break DC is almost certainly too high, and Finn is too big to squeeze in behind everyone else.

You're large with a reach weapon. How close do you need to get?
Toxim moves so Finn can get in and do his thing.
"It's to late to retreat. We just have to take this thing down."

Finn tries to squeeze in behind the others and stabs at the undead spellcaster.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 292d6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 6) + 8 = 15

possible critical? 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 114d6 + 16 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 5) + 16 = 32

"Ok, is there any space left for me?" Guard moves around the corner, getting as close as he can to the undead large elf.

Ok guys this is gonna get real tricky with spacing,

Daurros steps back and lets loose his cone of fire that licks across the dead elf. Guard starts to move toward the end of the wall as Karkalla opens fire her bolts seeming to have little effect on the elf. Ardanto keeps spouting random elf words as Finn moves to stab around the corner of the Wall elf gets cover he is able to hit the elf but barely. Toxim moves back a bit but fails to hit the elf as Thoves arrows also seem to miss the elf.

The elf seems to concentrate and leaving himself open to Finn and ardanto, Finns thrust misses but Ardanto gets a hit in. But the elf's spell still goes off and a moment later a cylinder of fire engulfs the group

Ya get a reflex save for half here guys. Ardanot I didn't know if ya was attacking so Ya may make one for this round if ya want

"Okay new plan" Karkalla mumbles to herself then suddenly moves forward and try's to do a diving roll under the things feet hopefully to end up next to Ardanto

Backing away a bit from the fire, Guard then moves to get next to the dead elf, (bringing Snem with him hopefully, also shuffling around his essentia).

Ardanto dodges and weaves, waiting for the group to decide if we press the attack, try and talk or run Delay

Seeing the Undead Giant Elf engulf the group in flames, he resumes his attacks.

Longsword +9 (1d8+9 19-20) 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 201d8 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

and

Longsword +9 (1d8+9 19-20) 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 151d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Add an action point for another attack.

Longsword +9 (1d8+9 19-20) 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 161d8 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

My attack rolls are particularly sucky at the moment.

reflex 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Daurros removes his scroll of dispel magic and targets it on the elf, trying to dispel any enchantments it may have on itself (especially it's enlarged condition).

caster level 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

I believe I can do this: add action point ot the caster level check
1d6 ⇒ 5

Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14, with evasion
add an action point: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Guys, we have to run away or die, I think.

If he's still conscious and/or alive, Finn will flurry with his spear.

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 132d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 3) + 5 = 11

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 272d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 4) + 5 = 13

Guys, we have to run away or die, I think.

I was thinking the same my self, although, my sucky rolls are not helping. I am trapped behind him with out a hope of tumbling through his space, I can only hope that Daurros shrinks him, so that I can take one attack of opportunity as I pass him by. If push comes to shove, you all need to save your selves, pointless more of us dying than need to.

Agreed. This guy gets shrunk, we leave. Fast.
Reflex save 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Toxim decides to try a silver arrow this time to see if it has any additional effect
Shortbow 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 PBShot included; silver arrow
Action point for an additional attack
Shortbow 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 Damage 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 PBShot included; silver arrow

Yep, that's what I was thinking before, and why I asked if Ardanto could get by. My big concern: he's at least an 11th level caster (based on wall of iron being a minimum 6th level spell), so cross your fingers that my level check of 25 is good enough. At least I actually got a good roll when I needed it; just have to find out if it's good enough.

And I'm not sure the saving ourselves thing will work, as I don't believe Daurros would leave Ardanto. Even if he saw him die (for certain), I don't think he could bear the possibility of him being animated as undead.

If Ardanto manages to squeak by, is there any way we can seal the area behind him, trapping the elf? I don't suppose anyone memorized Stone Shape today, did they?

I still have web memorized. Haven't used it because I don't know that I wouldn't catch the whole party in it.

Meh I reckon we can still take him.

Let's see how much damage that Flame Strike did, first...

I'm a hard core sucker and will only retreat if the group retreats.

Reflex save1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Thoven does his best to avoid the bulk of the blast before sending forth his own blast of healing flames.

Channel Energy3d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 2) = 12

I'm a hard core sucker and will only retreat if the group retreats.

I am more of a run away shrieking like a cheer leader type, best to live to fight another day and all that.

The fire sweeps though the space a few people manage to avoid the brunt of it. Daurros shrugs off the pain, pulls out his scroll and targets the magic running though the elf. The dead elves enchantment brakes and it returns to normal size. Karkalla takes the opening and tumbles past the elf to join Ardanto, who presses the attack on the elf getting in two solid blows as Finn thrusts at the elf, also getting a good hit in. Toxim again fires off two shots but again seeming to barely effect the elf.

Thoves calls upon the power of the silver flame healing some of the fire damage to most of the group as Guard moves as close as he can, Snem blasts at the elf, having little effect. The elf brings his mace down on Ardanto with a roar 10hp

Ok Thoven,Daurros,snem and Karkalla took 17 HP, Guard Finn, and Toxim took 35

"Good one Daurros!" Guard shouts, bringing his hammer up again and storming the now normal sized elf.
flanking Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 2 = 17, damage 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Snem, slowly healing his incinerations Fast healing 2, hovers over Guards shoulder, providing a bit of illumination in the enclosed space behind the ironwall. It takes aim on the elf as well, letting loose a soul blast:
Soul Blast: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15, damage 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Action point for another Guard flanking attack: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 + 2 = 32, damage 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Ardanto yells the only elven swear word he knows at the elves dessicated face, "Ud`Raan!" he grins foolishly at the elf, "yeah, you now I am talking to you fat head!".

Ardanto presses the attack once more, but his confidence is failing, the elf looks relatively fresh, or as fresh as a thousand year old corpse can, where as Ardanto is covered in numerous bruises, cuts and the pain in his chest tells him at least one rib was broken in the last blow. With a hint of desperation he attacks the elf, trying to exploit a weakness in his defence.

I must be flanking with Guard now? If so, please add +2 to these attacks.

Longsword +9 (1d8+9 19-20) 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 211d8 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Longsword +9 (1d8+9 19-20) 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 111d8 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Spending yet another action point for an extra attack.

Longsword +9 (1d8+9 19-20) 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 191d8 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

After his exchange of blows he steps back away from the elf, hoping to draw it to where he has space to pass or room for the others to surround it. 5 foot step next to Karkella.

He grimaces at the shifter, panting from the exertion.

Seeing that he has had so little effect thus far, Toxim decides to change his tactics. He falls back and taps Finn with his Wand of CLW

CLW 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Finn grimly presses on, jabbing at the elf.

assuming that he's flanking...

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 252d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 6 = 10

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 202d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 6) + 6 = 14

Daurros sighs exasperatedly. "Well, if we won't retreat to fight another day ..."

fire off another charge from my wand of magic missiles

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

question, as I can't recall: does ray of enfeeblement, as a strength penalty, affect undead? I know they're usually immune to ability damage and drain, but not sure about a penalty.

Have evasion so I'm hoping that means no damage?s

Holding back till Ardanto moves away Karkalla steps into the space he once occupied and brings the crossbow blade down upon the undead

Attack (hopefully flanking with Guard)

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Damage

1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Sneak attack

3d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 6) = 15

I totally forgot about your evasion Karkalla

Daurros uses his wand to slam a missile into the elf once more as Ardanto slices twice into the Elf stepping back as Karkalla steps forward stabbing the elf with her blade. Finn stabs at the Elf but blocked by the wall he misses one attack

Toxim heals some of Finns hurts as Thoven fires at the elf, but hits only the iron wall as Guard slams his hammer into the elf, snem blasts the unliving elf.

The elf looks barely together, wrappings and dessicated skin hanging from it. The mace drops from it's dead hands and it slumps to the floor."Pegue o que você quer saqueadores, mas deixe-me ao meu contemplações. Eu não tenho nenhuma luta deixada. Sozinho com os mortos e os esquecidos do passado. Deixe-me ser ........ It says softly in it's hollow voice , head low as if in despair

Elvish

Karkalla lowers her weapon

Elvish

Karkalla turns to the rest of the group

"Okay the elf is surrendering but he thinks we are looters which ta be honest I think has been a big misunderstanding I mean Urol told us these ruins are deserted when they clearly aren't so I suggest we return what we took, find a way ta unstone Urol and then ram my foot up his rear end for getting us all in this mess in the first place."

Hearing Karkalla's words and seeing the undead elf no longer attack, Guard lowers his weapon, but keeps his shield up for now.

Keeping an eye on the opponent, he waits for the others to decide what to do. He's inclined to do as Karkalla suggests, but fighting looks still like an option.

Finn, although badly burned, remains unrepentant: "If this mockery of life has no living descendants, then what need does he have for jewelry? We are well within our rights to take this necklace and go, as he is letting us do."
