The Blackros Matrimony table 2 (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

Vassago channels water from the aqueous orb and the area, shouting, "Competition, mi amigo? I'm the main attraction!" He then jumps and throws the massive water ball at Arastrax!

Empowered water blast @ Arastrax: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
Damage on hit: 4d6 + 11 ⇒ (3, 5, 5, 2) + 11 = 26 +50%

Edit for crit confirm

Crit confirm: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
Extra damage on hit: 4d6 + 11 ⇒ (5, 1, 6, 1) + 11 = 24 +50%

As Vassago counters with his own ego, it is accompanied by a blast like no tomorrow.

Contrary of the look of realization of death….. Arastrax's mouth grins firmly still.
"Wait for it....."

The waiting is relatively short, and Arastrax's torso is utterly crushed by the sheer impact.

"HA~~~~ha--ah-a….", and the man falls onto his back, blood coughed up, yet his lifeless eyes still with glee.

…
….
…..

Everything is quiet..until an obnoxious voice returns to the scene.

….guess who's back, back again!"
A dark shape disconnects from the human corpse, hovering at Feli's height.

"Cause i'm ARA-FCKING-STRAX! Bwahahahaha!!"

"You wrecked my ride slick, i'm sure the fool must have dreaded seeing his demise at your hand, and not being behind the wheel to do anything about it."

He looks down at Turzyk.

Claw, height: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 11 + 1 = 28 Dmg, frosty: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + (5) = 7
Claw, height: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 1 = 15 Dmg, frosty: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + (1) = 2
Bite, height: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 1 = 27 Dmg, frosty: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + (6) = 8
Arastrax's attacks all hit, but they seem to do little to no harm to Turzyk. After his attacks, Arastrax hovers up 5 ft, to an altitude of 15ft, which Feli is still able to hit.
-------------------------
Spenser & Turzyk

Could Spenser's eyes get any wider than they are now, they would surely run roughshod over and conquer his entire face.

"Great fantomo of Porthmos! EN GARDE, YE FRITHLESS PANDEMONIAX!!!"

Hoping the table doesn't stop me from making a diagonal 5-foot step:

[dice=blessed +1 Lance, Challenge, Power Attack vs ARA-FCKING-STRAX!]1d20+10[/dice]
blessed damage: 1d8 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27
[dice=blessed +1 Lance, Challenge, Power Attack vs ARA-FCKING-STRAX!]1d20+5[/dice]
Gor'blimey! BLESSED AUTOMATICALLY CONFIRMED CRITICAL HIT, MODORSIBLEGER!: 3d8 + 60 ⇒ (1, 4, 3) + 60 = 68

Unfortunately, an 8ft wide table would prevent a 5ft diagonal step like that.

Sir Quixote advances around the table, thrusting his spear against Arastrax. Arastrax sees the first attack against him, and has to lean to the left to avoid it.

With ample distance between himself and Arastrax, Turzyk calls upon the holy aid of his patron.
"Mistress, i ask you for a gift of your blazing light."
He casts a spell, firing off a beam of light.

Rt: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 Searing light: 3d8 ⇒ (7, 5, 6) = 18
Cl check vs SR: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 No pass.

As the ray hits Arastrax, there seems to be a struggle between his being and the spell, with ultimately the beam of light dissipating.
=======================================

Demons at the wedding, round 13

Feli & Vassago
--------------
Arastrax
--------------
Spenser
Turzyk

Felicitas quickly shrugs and takes a step back amd glitterdusts the shadow demon.
Knowplanes: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
DC 16 will to resist

"Oh, but an encore is in order!", Vassago once again channeling more power into another ball, this time sending it along a curving path to avoid his allies.

Just flavor, no real rules thing other than I do have Precise Shot

Empowered Water blast: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Damage on hit: 4d6 + 11 ⇒ (6, 5, 3, 4) + 11 = 29 +50%

Of course I know he is incorporeal, so 1/2 damage if it hits as my blast counts as magic

Will vs glitterdust: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Arastrax's lights go out, as Feli's spell takes hold.
"Really... seriously, you're powdering me again?"

The confirmation follows in the form of a kinetic blast, dealing 11 dmg to him.

"Aw slick, is that supposed to hurt me? That tickled."
Blinded as he currently is, Arastrax hovers 5ft back.

He whispers in demon tongue, and Feli and Spenser get the rising feeling that Arastrax is the worst thing to be around...

End of turn save vs glitterdust: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 Pass.

Feli & Spenser, a willsave DC 18 please, vs panicked for 10 rounds.
----------------------------
Spenser
Turzyk

Just 2 questions. Can he target us while blind. And does he get two saves in the first round? We played in differently, so I am quite curious because if I Gm this will have a major impact will: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 2 = 15

Will save vs fear, Challenge of the Tome: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 Oh, FFS....

"RUN AWAYYY!"

Nota Bene: Now my Fearless Curiosity can really come into play!

Feli, to your questions.
To #1: While blinded, he can't target anyone specifically, true, as that requires sight. The fear spell is an aoe, though, not asking for targets. Say for example, your foe is a dragon, and while blinded it decided to spew fire in a cone, in hopes of fighting back the treasure seekers.
It wouldn't be targeting anyone individually, but the people would be rolling against a sudden inferno after all.

To question #2:

All within the area are covered by the dust, which cannot be removed and continues to sparkle until it fades. Each round at the end of their turn blinded creatures may attempt new saving throws to end the blindness effect.

Turzyk, realizing the demon is out of his reach, does the most sensible thing he can, and moves towards Vassago, burning up magic vestment to cast CSW.
3d8 + 6 ⇒ (1, 5, 5) + 6 = 17
==========================================

Demons at the wedding, round 14

Feli (panicked 10 rounds) drops her weapon as well, heading Random exit: 1d3 ⇒ 2 the way Spenser was heading. After a 2x move, she tugs the wall of the tent, breathing heavily.

Vassago
--------------
Arastrax (-11)
--------------
Spenser (panicked 9 rounds)
Turzyk

Ummm...sorry to be a bit of a rules lawyer, but CRB pg. 214 states "Regardless of the shape of the area, you select the point where the spell originates, but otherwise you don't control which creatures or objects the spell affects. The point of origin of a spell is always a grid intersection."

Excellent. Many thanks for the quick answer! All is well. And even if blind he could target himself as the point of origin!
With a yell of panic Felicitas runs for it!

What Feli says is what Arastrax was doing.
I've asked to be sure, other people have likewise said that a blinded character can still cast cone spells, with it starting from a point of your square.

It would seem i overlooked something. 5ft step and lacking sight.

Cast defensively, DC 23: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

Well, gotta think to myself that at least that wasn't a crit against us.

Vassago winds up for another one, having to use attrition to bring down this spectral foe!

Empowered Water blast @ Arastrax: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Damage on hit: 4d6 + 11 ⇒ (1, 5, 3, 1) + 11 = 21 +50% but then the rest of his blah

Another ball of pressurized moisture is hurled towards the shadow demon, its body absorbing part of the hurt affecting his body.

5 dmg to Arastrax.

Arastrax laughs boastful, before making a charging swoop towards Vassago, pouncing upon him as he arrives.

Charging claw, height, touch: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 2 + 1 = 20 Dmg, frosty: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + (4) = 8
Charging claw, height, touch: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 2 + 1 = 24 Dmg, frosty: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + (6) = 11
Charging bite, height, touch: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 11 + 2 + 1 = 29 Dmg, frosty: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + (1) = 5

Cold spectral attacks renew the ifrit's wounds, as they rake into his body.
----------------------
Spenser

Turzyk burns a 3rd lvl to cast 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (3, 3, 2) + 6 = 14, after a 5ft step.

Will save vs fear, Challenge of the Tome: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

The brave Sir Spenser bravely runs away....

Did Turzyk heal himself?

Ah, i wasn't too clear, was i. He's healing Vassago.

1d3 ⇒ 3
Sir Quixote goes around the corner, pursuing the same path Feli does.
==================================

Demons at the wedding, round 15

Feli (panicked 9 rounds) moves further south in her anxious state.

Vassago
--------------
Arastrax (-16)
--------------
Spenser (panicked 8 rounds)
Turzyk

Vassago steps back, not liking the demon being so close. He switched tactical gears and now brings immense fire in both hands and lets it loose up above, searing away the canvas and letting the light pour in from above, hoping to bath both him and Arastrax in the daylight.

Is it a 1 RTA @ tent?: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Damage on hit: 4d6 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (4, 6, 1, 1) + 7 + 1 = 20 +50%

A maybe shot?

Vassago conjures of fire, and blasts a hole in the tent's roof above.

That square is now smoldering, with risk of spreading every round.

Arastrax is suddenly in the spotlight.
"Going for below the belt, eh?! Slick, you and me, we're on for real now!"

Visibly in discomfort, Arastrax touches a nearby chair, causing it to radiate dark.
With the sun shining through the hole in the tent (add any squares later revealed through potential burning), considered bright light, squares with the sun mark will be considered dimly lit.

Spenser
Turzyk

Will save vs fear, Challenge of the Tome: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Brave, brave, brave Sir Spenser....

..is currently not a target of Arastrax, on the plus side.
Turzyk burns remove disease to cast 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2, 5) + 6 = 14 on Vassago.
==============================

Demons at the wedding, round 16

Fire starts on adjacent on a 1: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Feli (panicked 8 rounds) stays outside, her heartbeat racing faster than a galloping horse.

Vassago
--------------
Arastrax (-16)
--------------
Spenser (panicked 7 rounds)
Turzyk

@GM: Would I need to simply shatter the chair to end the darkness focused on the chair, or will I have to burn it with the fire?

"I'd go for your cajones if you had some, you spectral bastard!", Vassago blasting the chair Arastrax touched with a powerful gout of water! Or fire if needed to end the darkness

Is it a 1 ranged attack at chair: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Damage on hit: 4d6 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (1, 1, 3, 5) + 11 + 1 = 22 +50%, but subtract 4 from the base damage if this is fire

Good question, tbh. The chair in its entirety is radiating darkness.
I'm guessing burning the chair utterly would be the best course of action.

Vassago tosses a ball of fire towards the radiating chair, breaking off a leg and the leaning part upon impact. As the chair's remaining parts burn, light returns slowly.

Arastrax blinks in discomfort.
"Oh, going below the belt again?"

Arastrax, in his discomfort, mutters in demonic speech, and vanishes from sight....

..only to appear right above Vassago.
"Heya, Slick!"
------------------------
Spenser

(Vassago, for speed of it, you can post ahead)

Will save vs fear, Challenge of the Tome: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Somewhere out in the distant void, a displaced scion of the great star-priests of Ancient Lirgen is describing his observation of the mithril streak that is Sir Spenser....

Will post later today! I have an idea.

Vassago, not liking being under the demon, tries to duck under the foul being.

Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

He then aims over the demon and blasts another hole into the tent with fire.

Is it a 1?: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 1 = 29
Damage on hit: 4d6 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5, 1, 4, 4) + 7 + 1 = 22 No empowered due to having to move

Start of the round...

1d6 ⇒ 4 Nothing yet.

Vassago moves away, drawing two aoo, as Arastrax has incredible reflexes.

Bite, height: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 1 = 18 Dmg, frosty: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (3) = 9

Bite, height: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 11 + 1 = 28 Dmg, frosty: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + (4) = 7
On both accounts, cold spectral damage find its way into Vassago's body.

Vassago blasts another hole in the roof letting in sunlight.
---------------
Arastrax, once again in sunlight, is most displeased, and flies over to above Vassago again, still weakened.
---------------

Spenser

Vassago can post ahead again)

Will save vs fear, Challenge of the Tome: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Somewhere on the island, Sir Spenser is obliviously charging straight across the substantially-sized gap in a collapsed bridge.

What happened to Turzyk?

A good question. I had not gotten a PM from him about having to have a time-out.

You were boting him but stopped last 2 rounds.

Yeah, i noticed.
But i'll keep burning his spells to keep our suave ifrit alive. Ego-strax has a morale condition, fwiw. If sir Quixote snaps out of his fear condition, and Vassago can keep Arastrax from doing full round attacks, this fight would improve greatly for team PF.

It'll be for tomorrow, as i'm working a very early shift, and i've still got a drive home ahead of me.

Ok. I was just wondering if he had any channels left since he has the Sun domain, but I don't think so.

He had used them all.

After Spenser, Turzyk casts defensively, burning heat metal for a heal spell.
Concentration DC 17: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28, and discharges healing upon Vassago for 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 = 13.
===============================

The smouldering at the original hole in the roof finishes, and won't be starting additional fires.
The new hole... 1d6 ⇒ 3, does not yet either.

Demons at the wedding, round 17

Feli (panicked 7 rounds sees a lot of fighting going on outside.

Vassago
--------------
Arastrax (-16)
--------------
Spenser (panicked 6 rounds)
Turzyk

Botting.

Vassago tries some acrobatic maneuvers to get away, befoe resuming to blast holes in the tent.
1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 321d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

He manages to do so, avoiding Arastrax's potential attack.
He shoots a hole into the square above the shadow demon.

Hits if not nat 1: 1d20 ⇒ 4 4d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 5, 5, 6) + 8 = 29

This once again bathes Arastrax in sunlight.
"Hissss!!"
-----------------
Arastrax (-16) makes an attack against Turzyk.
"You, keeping the guy healthy eh?"

Claw, height: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25 Dmg, frosty: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + (2) = 5
It deals but a meager 3 dmg to Turzyk.
------------------

Spenser
Turzyk (will go heal)

Vassago, you can post ahead.

Will save vs fear, Challenge of the Tome: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Sir Spenser's legs whirl like windmills as he charges blindly on...

...Windmills? Whither do I wander...? He begins to wonder.

@GM: Messaged you and thanks for the bot. Ignored the boards for a bit as I was preparing for a playtest game. Good ol VO duties

Vasssago opens up another hole in the ceiling with more of his fire!

@GM: I am assuming the orange circle marks are where I have blasted so far. If not, then I am aiming for just above Arastrax. Otherwise, I am going to aim for the ceiling right of Turzyk and 1 up from Arastrax.

Is it a 1?: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Empowered Fire blast damage on not a botch: 4d6 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5, 6, 2, 2) + 7 + 1 = 23 +50%

Vassago is owed a refund of 7 HP.

Turzyk burns a spell for 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (6, 8) + 6 = 20 for Vassago.
I'm rolling awesome as a heal bot.

Spenser's anxiety lessens, going from panicked to frightened.
========================

Demons at the wedding, round 18

Feli (panicked 6 rounds) sees a lot of more fighting going on outside, heads rolling, blood spilling....

Vassago blasts another hole in the tent, which now has an L shaped hole.
--------------
Arastrax (-16) squints at Vassago.
"Slick, you better think of what you're going to want to have on your tombstone."
He looks around him, considers a chair, and tosses it at Vassago.

Chair tossing: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20 Bump: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Vassago ducks aside, the chair landing against pastries on a platter.
--------------
Spenser (frightened 6 rounds)
Turzyk

Is spenser still frightened although he rolled a nat 20?

The spell Fear causes panicked.
Spenser having the feat Fearless Curiosity, it gives him a new save every round he is affected by a degree of fear effect, potentially lessening he severity thereof.
If he passes again, he becomes shaken and can return to the fray.

Awesome!

Will save vs fear, Challenge of the Tome: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Rush I perpendict ad yonder fracas, or afield like a cock-a-roach from the dawn's-angels? Surely perpendict. ONWARD...!

Vassago's up!

Spenser, if you want, you can make a block of rolls for the coming rounds, and post any 1st chance actions that come along with it.

Botting.

1d6 ⇒ 5 No burning tent.

Round 19
Feli stays outside. (Panicked 5 rounds)

Vassago, now not at risk of an aoo, powers up and blasts water at Arastrax.
Blast: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 Dmg: 4d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 5) + 8 = 24
Unfortunately, it goes wide.

---------------
Arastrax (-16)

Arastrax lifts up a table, and flings it at Vassago.

In effect, he uses the table nearest to Vassago.
Dining Table toss: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23 Dmg: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 6, 4) = 15
The dining table rushes into Vassago's flank, bruising his ribs.

Spenser

(Vassago can post ahead)

Vassago launches another torrent of water at Arastrax!

Empowered Water Blast: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 1 = 29
Damage on hit: 4d6 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (6, 5, 2, 3) + 11 + 1 = 28 +50%

This Round ("Round T"):
Will save vs fear, Challenge of the Tome: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Over hill, over dale, I rush to SAAAAAAAAAAVE THE STOOOOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIES...!

Round T + 1:
Will save vs fear, Challenge of the Tome: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

There is a horrible keening noise noise as Sir Spenser abruptly halts, and his momentum channels itself into a pirouette on the toes of his armor, drilling a near-perfect inverse-cylinder into whatever errant cobblestone is so unfortunate to have been laid just where it was.

...BUT SOFT! What Story, of all Stories, ends suchly?!? By the sublime etheric fibers of the Splendid Robe Grand Prince Cydonus the Revealer, I HATH BEEN HORNSWOGGLED!

"HAAAVE AT THEEEEEE!!!" He bellows as he runs all the way back to the wedding chapel...backward.

Now, to overcome shaken....

Round T + 2:
Will save vs fear, Challenge of the Tome: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Sir Quixote isn't out of the mud yet, still much anxiety remaining within his mind.

Turzyk's out of lvl 3 & 2, and burns his remaining lvl 1 to heal Vassago's wounds.
1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Maybe i should make a heal PC sometime, who can roll as good as these past rounds.
=============================

Round 20

Feli (panicked 4 rounds)
Vassago launches another watery blast at Arastrax, hitting for 11.
-------------------
Arastrax (-27) lifts the table again, laughing all the while.

"Hahaha, death by furniture, slick, how's that sound?"
"Cause i'm th Ara-fcking-strax, bwahahahaha!"

Table tossing: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 Dmg: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 1, 2) = 7
The table falls short of hitting Vassago, who made a dodge like a pro.
-------------------
Spenser's mind calms down, and he returns to the battle, shaken, but stirred with determination once again.
================================

Round 21
