Maria draws her Shield wand and touches the Earth elemental with it.
If I remember correctly Gregor is best without the extra shielding, right?
Earth Elemental AC is now 46.

You cannot cast shield on anyone but yourself. Range is personal.

In any case how would a shield spell take a medium earth elemental from an AC of 18 to an AC of 46? That's one hell of a spell.

Rofl.. I think somehow she got a wand of summon Vars..

Since Maria hasn't updated her action, she will shield herself instead.

Statue lashes out at the elemental.

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 16 damage: 4d8 + 13 ⇒ (4, 3, 2, 7) + 13 = 29
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 10 damage: 4d8 + 13 ⇒ (7, 8, 4, 5) + 13 = 37

In two mighty blows the elemental is smashed into dust.

Rest of the party is up.

Sorry, I read the HP as AC... :P Oh well, one charge for Maria, her AC is now 46, sorry, I mean 20.
Maria casts Grease on the elemental trying to make it trip.
Reflex DC19 or falls prone.

You mean on the statue I assume?

reflex save: 1d20 ⇒ 17 pass

Yes, statue... sorry

Gregor attempts to doge its blows as he closes to attack the huge statue.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29
attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20

I'm assuming it is a construct and not an elemental...

It swats at Gregor as he attempts to tumble in. Yes, it is a contruct/
AOO
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 8 damage: 4d8 + 13 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 6) + 13 = 30 hit

For all your trouble, you miss.

did we really need to wake this bugger up? Trib, seeing the statue come to life, moves in closer to attack the construct, slashing at its feet.

assuming need to tumble to avoid AoO to get close enough to attack, move action, tumble, power attack

acrobatics: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35

attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19 for damage: 1d4 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

The statue does not appear to have combat reflexes, so Tribim is able to get in close and attack. However he misses.

Archy watches his companions take earth shattering blows and still close on the thing.. "Perhaps this one is to much for us to handle?"

He lobs a couple of force bombs at the creature..

RTA: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
RTA: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Dam 1: 4d4 + 7 ⇒ (1, 1, 3, 4) + 7 = 16
Dam 2: 4d4 + 7 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 3) + 7 = 18

2 DC 20 Reflexes or fall prone..

reflex: 1d20 ⇒ 1
reflex: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Timber! it is knocked prone.

Both bombs hit and do damage.

Cleric appears to be AWOL. He will channel to heal.

channel positive: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 1, 1) = 9 [ooc]Wow, that sucked[ooc]

Klor (since I might as well give him a dramatic exit) moves up and chops at the statue with his axe.

power attack
to hit: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22 miss
well maybe not so dramatic

And the statue swats at Klor (that exit part)

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 3 damage: 4d8 + 13 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 6) + 13 = 29 hit
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 1 damage: 4d8 + 13 ⇒ (8, 8, 1, 5) + 13 = 35 miss

Klor takes a mighty blow, but remains standing.

PCs are up.

Is the statue attacking from prone? Would it be smart enough to do that or would it eat and AoO to stand and attack once? Just need to know if im taking a penalty to ranged attack..

Forgot it was prone actually. That means the statue missed Klor twice.

Maybe he'll try standing up next round. No AOOs now.

"Perhaps we should retreat and ill try to keep it tripped till we can get away.."

If this seems to be agreeable than Archy will ready a bomb to toss as it tries to stand up..

Aww, did you want to dodge the TPK or something?"

Gregor shifts a little trying to get into flank with Tribim and continues attacking.

att 1: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27
damage: 1d8 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18

att 2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20

would be nice to get some crits...

You hit it twice and scratch it up some.

It seems inm the only one that has played 1st edition and can spot the tpk.. This guy is way out of our league.. Im guessing at least DR 10.. But it seems people would like to die so by all means..

Nobody has bothered to make a knowledge check to identify it, so I guess people are just assuming it is a tolerable CR.

what knowledge will help figure this thing Out?

knowledge: dungeoneering: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Trib watches the creature carefully calling out to Archaemedies "I'm willing ta break it off if we need ta, yeah" he then slashes at the cratures knees.

full attack, power attack

attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28 for damage: 1d4 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17 for damage: 1d4 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

Knowledge arcana is what applies to constructs.

Tribim hits once and also scratches it some.

Know Arcana: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35 DR, Special abilities and anything else noteworthy..

"This seems like a medium idea. At best. Just saying."

The creature is still on the greased area, so it will take it some effort to stand up.
Maria will Aid Archaemedes Knowledge roll (auto sucess) so he gets a 37 check result.
"Don't falter! Be careful, keep it down! Mr. Falco, blast it to smithereens. For the Kingdom! Courage!"
Rallying Cry (Ex) As a standard action once per day, you can shout a cry instilled with the noble sacrifices of your ancestor. You and any allies within 30 feet who can hear you gain a +2 morale bonus on attack and damage rolls for 4 rounds.

"Adamantine will do considerable harm to it! Hack it up Klor!"

Archy will continue to hold his bomb in case it tries to stand.. Already rolled in spoiler above..

Klor will gamely try to chop it up.

to hit: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17 damage: 1d10 + 14 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 14 + (4) = 28 miss
to hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 damage: 1d10 + 14 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 14 + (4) = 24 miss

But not really do so well.

Golem pops slow (free action ability so it does nor provoke). Klor, Tribim, and Gregor all have to make a DC 17 will save or be slowed. It then tries to stand up, which provokes from all those folks.
Klor:
to hit: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26 damage: 1d10 + 14 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 14 + (2) = 19 hit

reflex save: 1d20 ⇒ 11 pass and it swings at Klor again since it actually felt that last hit.

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 9 damage: 4d8 + 13 ⇒ (3, 6, 3, 6) + 13 = 31

Archie hits it with another bomb.

reflex: 1d20 ⇒ 6 and down he goes once more.

PCs are up.

Just a reminder, Klor also gets a +2 to attack and damage from Maria's rallying cry.
Maria casts Haste on the party, and moves behind Klor.
Acrobatics check to prevent AoO: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

"Who's hurt?"

Klor "OW!"

Philip gives up Align Weapon to heal Klor. Cure Moderate: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (6, 8) + 7 = 21

The thing is huge and has reach. You sure you want to do that?

Oh, crap, Channeling had me spoiled about getting up close. Can I retcon to a channel? if so:Channel: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 4, 1) = 13

A channel will be fine.

Archie once again readies a bomb to toss when the golem stands..

Readied RTA: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16
Force Damage: 4d4 + 7 ⇒ (2, 1, 3, 2) + 7 = 15

DC 20 reflex or reprone..

Phillip, Maria will probably "attract" the creature Attack of Opportunity, so you can move in safely.
Also, when/if the creature stands the Grease spell can (if it fails the Saving Throw) make it fall again. :D

AoO: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23 vs prone AC
damage: 1d8 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18

will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

5' step and attack as before after Arch throws his bomb.

att 1: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37
confirm crit: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28
damage: 1d8 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23
add. crit damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

att 2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

I'll be in flank next round so Tribim will be getting his sneak attack damage.

Do constructs even get sneak attack?

Yes.. Only Incorps/Elementals are crit immune in pathfinder..

And oozes.

Trib watches Gregor carefully as he continues moving around the big construct, "What do ya think folks we runnin' or fightin', just need ta know, yeah."

full attack, power attack

attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23 for damage: 1d4 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 for damage: 1d4 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

does trib get the AoO also?
attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32 for damage: 1d4 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
confirm crit: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27 for damage: 1d4 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Don't forget Maria "hasted" everyone, adn also the +2 to attack and damage from her Rallying cry.

Trib got the AOO. He hits once for a normal attack and then lands a crit.

Forgot the AOO on Maria for moving.

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 3 damage: 4d8 + 13 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 1) + 13 = 22

Klor will save 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 fail
Klor continues to chop away.
to hit: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22 damage: 1d10 + 14 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 14 + (5) = 22 miss
to hit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17 damage: 1d10 + 14 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 14 + (5) = 24 miss
but pretty ineffectually

Golem slams Klor
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 5 damage: 4d8 + 13 ⇒ (3, 3, 5, 5) + 13 = 29 hit
to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 5 damage: 4d8 + 13 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 5) + 13 = 26 hit
Klors is teetering at this point.

I still need will saves from Tribim and Gregor or their haste is gone.

PCs are up.

The creature is still prone? How damaged does it seems?

There is a fair bit chipped away, but it does not seem likely to fall over soon. It is still prone.
