Shattered Star

Game Master Zesdead

Arsith was looking at the scandalous statue, seemigly lost in the moment. Then the white haired warrioress let some words of lustful poetry flow out of her mouth, surprising everyone around

It was a dark and kinky night
you were tied on the bed very tight
spanked, bitten, kissed, left and right
moans and whispers shared under moonlight

Hidden under the sheets perfectly white
Even when the sun came shining bright
etched in our souls and bodies quite
were the memories of a dark and kinky night...

Then violence erupts. Again.

Seeing the kind of foe they are facing, she touches her weapon, and it start to give a golden glow Holy Strike HS (minor): At 1st level, you can touch one weapon and bless it with the power of purity and goodness. For 1 minute, this weapon glows green, white, or yellow-gold and deals an additional 1d6 points of damage against evil creatures. During this time, it's treated as good for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Coming to the rescue!

She rushes to the attack, trying to help Teldon against the Babau

Zee examines the pillar and what is depicted below it. "Yes, that is the Grand Mastaba. I have been at its base many times, and one cannot help but see it when in Korvosa. The site of Korvosa was once Sorshen's capital during the days of Thassilon."

She gestures at the figure of Sorshen below the Grand Mastaba and the blood pouring into its mouth. "And that must explain why this clone body of Sorshen was still active. And why the Shoanti had tried to warn the Chelish away from the Grand Mastaba when they invaded Varisia three hundred years ago. I wonder if Sorshen's influence had something to do with Queen Ileosa's tyrrany and delusions of grandeur."

And then Arsith recites her bawdy rhyme. Zee appears equally shocked and amused, one eyebrow arched wryly. She seems about to say something when three demons suddenly appear and attack!

Zee fixes the demon fighting Joanna with a baleful gaze and makes the Varisian sign of the evil eye.

Evil Eye hex. -2 to AC for 6 rounds; Will save DC 14 reduces that to 1 round.

Joanna and Halli, working in an elegant synchronicity, send the first of the demons stepping for a moment... the blows landed against it are hard-hitting yet the vile thing is far from diminished...

Babau 3, Will Save vs Evil Eye: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6, Save Failed

Waiting on actions from Briana, Teldon and Shadlah

knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 12 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 12 + (4) = 18
babaus... patient murderers... I wish I could remember something more useful...

”Mind that slime on their skin,” Teldon warns, ”it’s acidic. More light would be good too; they can see in this darkness without the difficulties we have.” Shifting behind Jo, he studies the demon she’s fighting and stabs at it twice: first to injure it, then to bolster Jo’s defenses...
attack (studied): 1d20 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 3 = 29, for: 1d8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 3 = 10
confirm?: 1d20 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 3 = 26, for another: 2d8 + 8 + 6 ⇒ (7, 1) + 8 + 6 = 22
miss (1-80): 1d100 ⇒ 12 huzzah!
aid Jo (AC): 1d20 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 3 = 23
I’m not sure if there’s a miss chance to aid? If so feel free to roll it for me.

Briana gives Arsith an incredulous and rather embarrassed look as she sings her little ditty and seems about to ask something - perhaps where her friend had learned it - when the babau arrive.

Kn. Planes (DC 16): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

"Hold on, I have something that'll help," she calls out as she conjures a protective aura centered on Teldon.

Briana casts Magic Circle Against Evil!

Teldon's spear is expertly placed... stabbing through a viscous layer of slime and striking bone...

I don't think I'll ask for the miss check on the Aid Another...

Briana... cool spell choice - although if it is centred on Teldon are the Demons within it? Is it better to cast it slightly back from Teldon so as to exclude the babaus... note that as written in adventure, these demons aren't really summoned although they must have been at some stage... so I'm ruling that they would be prevented from entering the circle as per the spell - however, you will need to make a Caster Level check vs the Demon's Spell Resistance to successfully ward against them - although bonuses to AC and Saves still stand regardless of the check against SR.
Briana to confirm spell placement / roll a quick Caster Level check.

Waiting on an action from Shadlah but will push onwards when Briana responds.

Sure, I can center it on Briana instead, which should still get the entire party without tagging the babaus! By doing that I don't think I'll need the SR check but I'll go ahead and roll one to cover all bases.

SR Check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

I was suggesting re-positioning such that the babaus were external to the circle... and hence they would not be able to enter the circle / move forwards and the combat would have swung heavily towards the group... only Briana didn't get past the SR and hence the babaus can enter the circle - but everyone is still getting their AC bonuses - HUZZAH!!!

Shadlah delays

Whilst Briana conjures her protective wards, the demons prod and poke at the shimmering energies that spiral upwards from the sigils glowing on the floor... and when one of them pushing a clawed hand through the field, realises that the circle has not fully closed, they continue their assault...

Joanna Lay on Hands(Self): 3d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 5) = 11

The demon is slammed by Joanna's first strike, which puts him out of line for the follow up from both Halli and Joanna as it staggers to the side. Feeling the sting of two serious wounds, Joanna calls on the power of her goddess to heal them.

can we tell that our attacks aren’t as effective they normally would be? (Like, is there a perception check or something we can roll to notice their DR?)

In an effort to further protect her friends, Briana conjures the wind and rain to stymie one of the babau's attacks!
________

Briana uses Storm Burst on the babau that Jo is targeting; if that one's somehow dead when her turn comes around she'll instead target the one adjacent to Jo.

Miss chance, 21+ hit: 1d100 ⇒ 18

Power Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 9 - 2 = 20
Dmg; PA, Good wp: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 4 + (1) = 15

Arsith tries to hit one of the babau, but the darkness let her misjudge her blow, and she curse the unholy creatures Under her breath

"Sometimes, it is better to trust the stone than one's eyes." Shadlah's voice is clear and deep in the darkness, and she spreads her feet, lowering her stance. A heel digs into the ground, then another, and through the darkness, she can feel the placement of the creatures, their clawed feet betraying them.

Focusing on the one dripping blood and slime from its wounds, as felt by the constant pattern of the droplets on the floor, she blasts it.

Shadlah will accept a point of burn (and the corresponding 6 nonlethal damage) to gain tremorsense for 1 round/level (6 rounds). She takes no miss chance from concealment against creatures she can detect with it. Throwing out a standard earth blast, PBS included, no deadly aim or infusions.
Blast: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
damage: 3d6 + 13 ⇒ (3, 1, 5) + 13 = 22

Zee curses the demon facing off against Arsith with the same gesture she'd just used.

Evil Eye hex. -2 to AC for 6 rounds; Will save DC 14 reduces that to 1 round.

@GM- I don’t want to slow things down at all, but if you could answer my question in your next I would appreciate it.

one more hit like that and I’ll be in trouble... we can’t afford for me to withdraw a moment before absolutely necessary either though...

With a pained scowl, Teldon takes a defensive stance, holds his position, and stabs twice more at the demon attacking Jo.
attack(studied, defensive): 1d20 + 7 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 3 - 4 = 20, for: 1d8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 3 = 12
miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 81 nvm
aid Jo (AC): 1d20 + 7 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 3 - 4 = 10 ha- cutting it close

so, Jo and Inshould both gain +2 AC against their attacks.

Whoops, didn't catch that Teldon's running low on health! Bri will try to correct that on her next turn.

Whoops, didn't catch that Teldon's running low on health! Bri will try to correct that on her next turn.

Yeah... I didn't either, or Zee would have done some healing.

can we tell that our attacks aren’t as effective they normally would be? (Like, is there a perception check or something we can roll to notice their DR?)

No worries... let's just say you can determine the unexpected ineffectiveness of your attacks... and, by a logical leap, that it is DR/Good.

Babau 3, Will Save vs Evil Eye: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7, Save Failed

Several blows are landed on the demon attacking Joanna - the most deadly of which is the barrage of stone pulled from the floor of the chamber... yet it is Teldon, his spear placed with accuracy through the darkly pumping heart of the demon, that brings it to the floor...

...whilst the remaining Babaus, their cruel spears expertly wielded, continue to fight.

Babau 1, Longspear vs Arsith: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26, hitting for 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Confirming Critical: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25, Critical NOT Confirmed - 20% Miss Chance, 21+ hits: 1d100 ⇒ 27 - hitting for 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Everyone may act now

With Teldon looking poorly and Joanna and Arsith also showing wear from the battle, Briana falls back to the rear of the group as far as she dares and then conjures a burst of positive energy to heal her friends!

Channel Energy: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 6) = 12

Joanna just manages to sidestep a potentially deadly blow thanks to Teldon's fancy spear work. She steps up to the demon with Halli by her side as they try tearing it apart. Brianna's wave of healing energy sets right what damage was done and a little more.

Joanna
Attack 1 vs. Babau 2?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Attack 2 vs. Babau 2?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

Halli
Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Crit?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 6) + 8 = 15

Trip: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 Maybe?

Relfex DC 18: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 :(
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Halli yelps in pain as she holds on a little too long trying to send the babau to the ground.

So, as much as it pains me to do so, I feel like I should point out that I was following Jo's convention on the miss chances, so an 81 actually missed from concealment (which is why I added "nvm" for 'nevermind' after the roll). I know we often don't retcon hiccups like that, so I'll post as if its still dead but if you want to have it still alive please reassign this round's attack to it.

Emboldened by Briana's healing, and the knowledge that both remaining demons are engage with foes more pressing than himself, Teldon adopts a more aggresive stance once again. Quickly studying the demon to which Jo turned her attention, he stabs at it once before swinging his longspear across at the demon fighting Arsith in an attempt to distract it.
attack vs babau2 (studied): 1d20 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 3 = 14, for: 1d8 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 3 = 13

assist Arsith (+2 to hit): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
well, that's a stinking pile of burning garbage. thanks, RNG.

Crap, I forgot the miss chances.

Jo attack 1 Miss Chance ≤ 80: 1d100 ⇒ 94
Halli Attack Miss Chance ≤ 80: 1d100 ⇒ 49

So, as much as it pains me to do so, I feel like I should point out that I was following Jo's convention on the miss chances, so an 81 actually missed from concealment (which is why I added "nvm" for 'nevermind' after the roll). I know we often don't retcon hiccups like that, so I'll post as if its still dead but if you want to have it still alive please reassign this round's attack to it.

No worries... let's just call it dead!!!

Joanna strikes hard against one of the demons... whilst her companion, her jaws slathering, bites at the beast and tried to drag it to the floor - yet, scorched by acid, she lets go before gaining enough purchase...

Waiting on actions from Ziomarra, Arsith and Shadlah

Uh, Jo missed. I was trying to roll 80 or less.

Power attack: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 2 = 19
Dmg, PA, Good: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 4 + (3) = 12
21+ hits: 1d100 ⇒ 58

Arsith does her best to land a blow on their ugly foes, despite the darkness, and shouts to Briana

Thanks for the healing, dear!

Uh, Jo missed. I was trying to roll 80 or less.

No worries... a little bit of behind the scenes amending of HP

Ziomarra and Shadlah delay

Arsith's weapon smashes into her foe, and sends it reeling backwards... dropping its spear, it runs at Arsith once again, claws wildly flailing...

Babau 1, Claw vs Arsith: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13, missing
Babau 1, Claw vs Arsith: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16, missing

Joanna Miss 1 ≤80: 1d100 ⇒ 85
Joanna Miss 2 ≤80: 1d100 ⇒ 85

Halli Bit Miss ≤80: 1d100 ⇒ 72

Halli Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Joanna and Halli both struggle to hit the fiend as he weaves about after gashing Joanna's arm.

Power attack: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 9 - 2 = 25
Dmg, PA, Good: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 4 + (6) = 19

Arsith keeps fighting against the creature

Sorry, short post, plenty of work

Realizing that the demons are covered in acidic slime and hot wanting her spell deck (and a family heirloom) to be damaged, Zee opens her satchel and takes out the old-and-battered Harrow deck she'd liberated from the Tower Girls back in Magnimar. She draws a card mutters a Varisian word of power, and taps it to her forehead. The card glows slightly, and she throws it at the demon fighting Arsith.

Deadly Dealer, Point-Blank Shot, Precise Shot

Ranged attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 = 27 ...YAY! Crit threat!
Damage: 1d4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8

Confirm?: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9 ...BOOO!
Crit damage: 1d4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8

The card dissolves upon impact.

Neither Arsith nor Ziomarra rolled for concealment - I'll GM roll those for you: 1d100 ⇒ 29 and 1d100 ⇒ 100 - both hit :)

Joanna struggles to see into the shadows, and ends up swinging for things that aren't there... whilst Ziomarra and Arsith have far more luck - their weapons and attacks striking their targets...

Waiting on actions from Teldon, Briana and Shadlah

Teldon thrusts his spear twice more at the demon next to Jo...

2 crits in 1 fight?!? I'm doing Shadlah level damage now, lol (even after DR that's gotta be 30-35 damage).

Sorry for the delay, I've not felt well.
________

Now feeling a little more confident with one of the babaus destroyed, Briana decides to help tip the odds further in their favor by calling for a bit of good fortune for Joanna!

Briana uses her Fortune Hex on Jo!

Sorry for the delay, I've not felt well.

Hope you're feeling better!!!

Shadlah delays.

Teldon's spear finds its mark, and more, as the shaft of the weapon plunges deep into demonic flesh... pulling it free, the blood sizzles and spits in the air. Badly injured and outnumbered now, the demons continue to fight...

Babau 1, Claw vs Arsith: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23, hitting for 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

"These demons are nothing! We've faced worse!" Briana calls out encouragingly as she next offers Arsith a bit of good fortune from the spirits!

Briana uses Fortune Hex on Arsith! Hopefully it'll be super effective :)

Trip: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Joanna goes high as Halli goes for the ankles. Steel gleams dully and a wolf's snarl echoes off the stones as once again the pair seek to end another fiend.

Teldon continues thrusting with his spear. He stabs once at the demon fighting Jo, in the hopes of finishing it off; then he stabs once at the when fighting Arsith to try and create an opening for her next attack.

aid Arsith (+2 hit): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Joanna's blade, seeming to strike fortuitously from a spur of the demon's chitin and curve downwards into exposed flesh, leaves one of the demons staggering at the cusp of existence... whilst, again seeing a vulnerable spot where others haven't Teldon drives his spear deep into his foe's belly...

Even with Briana's magic, Arsith can't hit her foe

Ziomarra / Shadlah delay...

With the fight almost lost, the demons continue to slash and bite at the group... one finding more weaknesses in Arsith's defences whilst the other, clawing at Joanna for a final time, succumbs to its wounds...

Teldon shifts his focus entirely to the demon still standing. He quickly studies it then stabs at it twice more...

Arsith- don't forgot this +2 on your next attack!

Assured that her friends will be able to finish off the last babau, Briana conjures wind and rain one last time to try and shield them from its attacks.
________

Briana uses Storm Burst against the remaining babau!

Joanna steps behind the fiend to give Halli room to come at it as well. Her position means it has three directions to watch for a threat. Now having it surrounded, Joanna and Halli begin the grisly work of bringing it down.

Joanna Miss chances ≤80 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 511d100 ⇒ 56

Adjusting to work after two weeks off has kicked my ass.
By my count, I'm on my 5th round of tremorsense now, so let's use it.

Throwing more earth into the fray, Shadlah smiles grimly as she feels the impact of her assault in the demon's staggered stance.

Earth blast: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
Confirm?: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 Aw, man...

PA dmg, Good: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 4 + (4) = 14

Whatever her friends do to help her , Poor Arsith can't hit the unholy creature...

Several attacks land - steel, spear and rock - but It is the wolf, its skin burning as the acid from the demon drips on to its muzzle, that finally ends the demonic threat that had stepped from the wall... and so cruelly attacked the group.

Having satisfied themselves that the demons are truly slain and that nothing else is poised to attack, the group have time to take stock and to further explore the room. No treasures are here, for this room was clearly still under construction at the time that the Runelords fell - but the carving in the wall, and its possible interpretation, must surely be of interest to the Pathfinder Society...

Healing up and backtracking to the stairs that lead upwards? Or any other plans?

Teldon takes the time to thoroughly examine the wall the demons step out of, in order to be certain there are no illusions or secret entryways...
perception (take 20): 20 + 14 + 1d6 ⇒ 20 + 14 + (3) = 37
