Serpent's Rise (Inactive)

Game Master DrParty06

Gazwyr's lips curl into a threatening sneer. He spreads his wings and glides to 30 ft of Zey (can't see the map. Fog of war'ed.) and releases a spray of acid at the Pathfinder scum.

Acid damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 6, 6) = 20
Reflex save DC 15 for half

Forgot to turn has sight on for the dragon token, should be fixed now.

As Gazwyr begins flying into the room, Zey yells out in Draconic, "Not so fast." and casts a spell targeting Gazwyr and Marnarius.

DC 20 Will save or affected by slow.

Rataji finished casting invisibility from the scroll on 322 and then cast invisibility on himself.

Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 Fail...

Gazwyr's movement is hampered as he enters the door, but he swings his head around. "Tthhaatt iiss nnoott Zzaayy......" he says slowly. Flying into the room, he continues to look about.

Marnarius has a split second to act and
WIL: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23...then he feels a slight tinge as if something tried to slow him down...but he is able to shake it off. He then advances to what he thinks is the real foe...

cant pull the map up right now. will try again in a few hours to move his token.

"Hhee'ss aabboovvee tthhee ddoooorr..." the dragon slowly hisses as he turns back to face the group.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Gazwyr - The slow is 11 rounds.

As Marnarius steps in, the crossbows held by the suits of armor across the room fire toward him with one bolt thumping into his leg and a second critically into his abdomen. After hitting, the bolts bleed out a sticky substance causing him to become entangled.

Two DC15 Reflex saves or stuck to the floor as per a tanglefoot bag.

Crossbow Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Crossbow Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Crossbow Confirm: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Critical Damage: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (8, 2) + 2 = 12

REF: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
REF: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Marnarius gets hit with the bolts, takes the damage but manages to free himself from the goo as his anger boils...

Delay. I didn't understand Grazwyr without Rataji translating, so I've got nothing to do.

Rataji, you have a scroll of glitterdust.

Edit: Actually, I can do something.

"Prove yourself worth your title, 'Leader,' and do something about Zey's blasted invisibility," 322 hisses in Aklo, drawing her scroll of Slay Living, activating her wings, and casting Guidance on herself.

Gazwyr is speaking common Taldane, but just slowly...

"He is not invisible but on the catwalk above the door. Gazwyr can see him there. I just hope he can't see us when we enter."

After casting the spells Rataji moves into the room.

"He is not invisible but on the catwalk above the door. Gazwyr can see him there. I just hope he can't see us when we enter."

After casting the spells Rataji moves into the room.

Gazwyr can sense him above the door. No one else sees anything there without some special senses. I don't recall if anyone cast something to help with that or not.

After entering the room Rataji looks up to where he thought Zen should be but sees nothing. I guess he is invisible

Now that I am in the room I can use glitter dust next round if I live that long.

"Hey," Joliryn reaches out to tap Zurnzal, "don't get too far ahead of me until I finish this spell."

Begin casting Enlarge Person on Zurnzal.
25' range from a scroll.
5' step forward
Also Joliryn is fully healed by 322 and has been updated in her status bar now.

Looks like we're just waiting on Zurnzal.

Zurnzal stays at the door until the target is clearly located. (Delay)

Half of the party moves into the room, while the other half waits in the hallway.

From his spot on the floor by the Sky Key, Zey sees the halfling casting her spell, with a half-orc waiting nearby, the imminent threats to his true location in the dragon and the rival wizard. He appears to do a very fast calculation before arcing a bolt of lightning from his hand to Marnarius, from there it spreads outward to the rest of the party, delivering a large shock to all that are unable to dodge it. He chuckles to himself,

Chain Lightning: 11d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 5, 6, 3, 3, 5, 2, 6, 1, 5) = 42 electricity damage.

DC 23 Reflex save for half for Marnarius. DC 21 for everyone else.

Joliryn - Also need Concentration check to save the spell.

Initiative
Everyone: Go

reflex: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
Now at 23/65 Swift: Gain Greater Dirty Trick Double move

The bolt nearly fries Zurnzal on the spot. Illusion or not, he decides that it needed to go. He rushes into the room, preparing to incapacitate the source of the magic, even if that means just forcing the true mage to reveal himself.

REF: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 Marnarius dives right into the oncoming path of the electric arc taking the full effect.

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
24/66 HP

Shuddering with the electric assault, Gazwyr uses his slow momentum to partially charge the hidden mage, not even bothering to respond to his idle rantings.

Partial Charge bite: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 = 18
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Roll concealment as necessary.

Refex Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

I guess he can see invisible to target me. So much for that plan.

Rataji shouts at Garzwyr "Where is he now?"

Once the dragon tells him he targets that spot with Glitterdust from his scroll.

DC13 Will save or he is blind

After casting he moves

Concealment, >50 potential hit: 1d100 ⇒ 80

Gazwyr tries to bite the space where he thinks Zey is, but finds his bite met with a resistance of force rather than flesh as he would have hoped.

Zey indeed does seem to have an ability to target invisible creatures. He seems to be in the same spot above the door, unfortunately, because of the shape of the room, there is nowhere to target that you don't also have to target Gazwyr.

I will take that chance for the good of the team.

Zey Will Save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

The glitter fails to blind Zey, but reveals 6 humanoid figures covered in glitter in the square Gazwyr indicated.

Unless this is a special variant of chain lightning, the secondary bolts do half the damage the primary does, so Marnarius takes 42 and the rest take 21 or 10 on a save. I'll mark down the damage as you've called for unless half on a secondary is the case.

Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

322 enters the room and attempts to dispel Zey's images.

Dispel, specifically for mirror image effect: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

From the PRD, "The secondary bolts each strike one target and deal as much damage as the primary bolt."

322's dispel magic causes 5 of the glittering figures to disappear leaving 1 behind.

You are totally right. I remembered poorly.

Edit: Ah, it was half damage on secondary in 3.5.

3.5-itis strikes again! Happens to us all.

And, going back a smidge, I also advocate taking one for the team to glitterdust the invisible foe. As I finally pass a save!
Will vs glitterdust: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

That's the one advantage I have being newer (2 years now) to Pathfinder/RPGs, never playing 3.5; I don't have 2 slightly different rule sets to confuse.

Reflex, DC 21: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24 21 damage
Concentration, DC 17: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Joliryn grits her teeth and drops low when the lightning arcs out from Marnarius, but it still manages to scorch her fairly seriously. The halfling breathes deeply and exhales as she slips into a trance. She darts into library casting as she slips by Marnarius and reaching out to touch his leg in passing.

Huh. Zurnzal delayed back to his own point in init.
The real Zey is not yet visible on my turn.

Immediately before her turn:
Zurnzal enlarges: +2 str, -2 dex, -1 attack and AC. + reach and Increased damage
Swift: Enter Mystic Focus, Effect: Blur
SA: 20' move
MA: Bear's Endurance on Marnarius +14 hps, +2 Fort saves
Defensive Casting, DC 19: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 11 + 2 = 25

Initiative Order
Zey
Joliryn:
Zurnzal:
Gazwyr:
Rataji:
322:
Marnarius:

The Concentration check to maintain the Enlarge Person is actually DC 32 (10+Damage+Spell Level), so it does not go off.

Zey laughs maniacally before casting a quickened spell, and beginning what sounds like a verbal tirade against all of you, except none of you is completely sure what he's saying, as he keeps switching languages.

It seems like he finds one of the things he said particularly funny as he stomps his foot on the ground so hard that it causes a 60 ft. long fissure to open beneath Zurnzal, Rataji, Joliryn, and Marnarius.
Casts defensively and makes on a 1.

Greater Thunderstomp: 1d20 + 11 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 7 = 33 vs. CMD to trip.

Initiative
Everyone: Go

Well there goes that strategy of forcing a cast defensively...

Gazwyr will do something very silly and try to grapple the wizard, trying to keep him from casting any more.
Provoke AoO if he threatens, no improved grapple
Grapple vs CMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

As Gazwyr closes in, Zey tries to knock him on the head with the rod he is holding, but Gazwyr dodges out out the way at the last second and grabs onto the wizard. As Gazwyr does, he finds himself hitting a barrier, DC 18 Will save or Stunned for 1 round. Succeed on the save and he is grappled, fail on the save and you are stunned, unable to grapple him, and fall to the ground.

AOO: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

It will take me two double moves to get to Zey.

Zurnzal springs up the steps and dashes does the upper balcony, but can't reach the real Zey. Yet.

I think you mean Zurnzal stands up and moves to the base of the stairs, as that Greater Thunderstomp beat the CMD to trip him. I've made that move on Roll20.

Ya, that. Sorry. I'm a bit of a busy mess right now.

Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Though I do not think Gazwyr falls from being stunned, however. If it was paralysis, then most definitely as it states as such in the paralysis description. However, if I don't make a fly check (which I neglected to do on my turn proper), then it's falling time.

Fly, DC 15 to hover: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
........ falling time...

322 flies up to the balcony and wraps Zey in the unforgiving coldness one finds between worlds.

Cold: 7d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 1, 4, 3, 3, 6) = 29
Interstellar Void. Fort DC 17 Half

Man, Sior cannot catch abreak with the die roller, can he?

Joliryn staggers trying to keep her balance but soon enough lands on her butt, but the halfling continues the motion into a backward somersault to regain her feet. She sharpens the blade of her kukri with an application of a razor thin layer of force and then reaches up with it to send twin jets of fire at the Aram Zey above.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Swift: add keen property to kukri for 1 minute
MA: stand
5' step in (will mark later on the map. On phone now)
SA: Scorching Ray 1: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27 Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 6, 6) = 16
Scorching Ray 2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 6, 1) = 14

defensive casting: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 2 = 22

Yup, pretty much the whole game... Now I'm slowed, staggered, and wounded, haha. Afraid to roll an Acrobatics to mitigate the falling damage if appropriate... But...
Acrobatics vs falling damage: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Gazwyr is luckily not high enough to have to worry about falling damage, since the abysmal rolling luck has continued.

Zey was certainly not expecting to feel the cold of space and noticeably reels back as it hits him. Soon after he is warmed much more than he would like as both of Joliryn's scorching rays strike true.

Fort Save vs. Interstellar Void: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Initiative
Rataji: Go
Marnarius: Go

You might consider casting telekinetic charge as a readied action for when Zey starts casting. Then the bruiser you move into place can get one attack as part of your spell and maybe also an AttOp if Zey thought he didn't need to cast on the defensive.

Stell reeling from the effects of the damage from earlier, Marnarius spends the time to drink down a potion of CMW while on the ground with the intent of getting up next time to run the man through...
CMW: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

43 - 42 + 14 + 7 = 22

edited to reflect his prone condition

Marnarius was also tripped by the greater thunderstomp, so he can pull out the potion and drink it while prone or stand up, pull it out and 5 ft.

It's 2d8+3 for CMW

As Gazwyr falls Rataji sees an opening to target the crazy mage.

Cast from prone and pull out a potion

Lighting Bolt: 7d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 5, 4) = 34

DC 18 reflex for half

I think you guys have this, so let's make it dramatic. Also, as long as 1 person survives pre-gen deaths are irrelevant.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Zey takes the full force of yet another elemental assault, and seems severely weakened. He roars in anger, switching back to Common for the first time, "I will not fall to let serpents rise, without making serpents fall to a snake of my own!"
A snaking line of fire shoots forth from the hands of the image of Aram Zey on the ground enveloping Rataji, Joliryn, Marnarius, and Gazwyr in an inferno.

Fire Snake: 11d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 2, 5, 2, 2, 4, 5, 4, 5, 2) = 41 fire damage
DC 22 Reflex for half.
