The Experiment: a campaign for custom races

Game Master Tenro

Dashuun reappears, making two vicious strikes with his daggers and going for a bite as well.
Dagger 1: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 - 2 = 25, Damage: 1d3 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + (3) + 1 = 6
Dagger 2: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 2 - 2 = 15, Damage: 1d3 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + (5) + 1 = 7
Bite: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 2 - 5 = 20, Damage: 1d2 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + (2) + 1 = 5
Dagger 1 Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 5 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 2 - 2 = 21, Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
vs flat-footed AC (no DEX bonus)

Oslo moves up behind the lizard-that-was-Fribble and calls out in his foreign tongue and lets the divine magics flow though him, "Cooma, Cooma, Dowoos!

With the golden energy washing over Fribble and closing his wounds, Olso looks about for some sort of weapon he could use.

Cast Cure Light Wounds on Fibble: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Look about for some sort of weapon Perception Check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Ashleaf attempts to use his tanglevines to trip the creature. It had been so long since he had used them this much, he was beginning to be quite sore.

Tanglevines: (4 of 7)Trip:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Round 2
Initiative
26: Dashuun makes two vicious attacks with daggers, one in each hand. The first one deftly finds the neck of the creature and sinks deep into it, sticking in it. The creature is severely alarmed by the strike and flails around a bit more violently. The second strike of a dagger misses completely. The bite also sinks into the creatures shoulder, but does not seem to make it flinch. Dashuun’s mouth is now stuck on the creature’s arm. Dashuun, you must make a strength check to release your mouth from the sticky creature.

23: Ashleaf grabs the creature quickly with his tanglevines bringing him to the floor, but Ashleaf now finds himself adhered to the prone menace. [ooc]Ashleaf, you must make a strength check to release your vines from the monster.

21:Malatok-Rei tries again to land a decisive blow upon the vile thing with his primal club. Attack1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 Damage1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Momentarily DMPCed until player returns.

18: Lady finishes attaching the wire to the tension bar of her crude hand crossbow and rushes towards the group, metal spear in hand.

14: The monster pulls himself to his feet easily using the vines of Ashleaf to stand up.

13:Fribble*

2: Oslo moves up behind the lizard-that-was-Fribble and calls out in his foreign tongue and lets the divine magics flow though him, "Cooma, Cooma, Dowoos!
With the golden energy washing over Fribble and closing his wounds, Olso looks about for some sort of weapon he could use and finds a bone similar to Malatok’s. It is smooth on one side and set with tines on the other. Tined-side does 1d8 damage, other side does 1d6 bludgeoning damage.

STR check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Rushes into Lab and than down there hallway!I'm coming guys!! LOL its funny its the lady saving the others

I flavor it to be part of my guy because of his origins and it just sounds cooler that way, but Tanglevines isn't actually supposed to be part of Ashleaf. It actually is supposed to spring from his hand and then is gone once it does it's duty. If you want me to roll a strength check I will do so (1d20 ⇒ 10) but I really shouldn't need to do so.
Also, standing up from a prone position will provoke attacks of opportunity from everyone in melee.

I can only be healed by Rejuvenate Eidolon spells while in this form, unless Fribble himself has actually take damage. Which he hasn't yet, so far only the eidolon has lost HP.

Fribble bites and claws at the creature again.

Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
-2 to those attacks if I'm still grappled.

With the golden energy washing over Fribble, but it has little effect on the giant lizard. He then looks aroound for a weapon to use and finds a bone. It is smooth on one side and set with tines on the other. Tined-side does 1d8 damage, other side does 1d6 bludgeoning damage.
End Round 2
==================
Begin Round 3

Lady makes it into the room where the rank beast is surrounded by her comrades, some stuck to it.

Post your Round 3 actions and I will recap.

Am I grappled or not? What is this STR check? Is it an ability the monster has, or are you just making that up? What are the penalties for failing, what does "you're stuck to him" mean mechanically? Can we get a knowledge roll to identify this creature? What does it look like, you've just described it as an aberration. I'm just really confused, I was grappled AND 'stuck' to it, then I was unstuck but still grappled, and now it's tripped and Dashuun and I are both 'stuck' to it again. What is going on?

AOO: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

The pallid humanoid creature is wrapped with wispy strips of skin with bits of detritus and a sour stench clinging to it equally.

Fribble, you are currently grappled barring a DC17 strength check to free yourself. He is very sticky and his skin is very absorbent, like self-healing rubber. It is a paizo monster. It kind of looks like an undead mummy that is gooey with things sticking to it. You and Dashuun made successful contact with the creature causing damage, but you both are adhered to it currently, barring the DC17 strength check. You can keep making the check until you are successful during your turn. Your AoO misses. You have never seen a creature like this before. I have made up some NPCs for future encounters based off of the proper CR for the group, so expect that. There will be opportunities to gain knowledge to things on this world, but you have to get out of the lab and choose the right doors.

So, what does the adhered do? What penalties does it impose, what actions can I take without breaking free first?

Entangled perhaps?

Oslo is rather disappointed and concerned when he sees that the healing magics seem to have no effect on Fribble's new form. Seeing the others sticking to the creature they are attacking the ooze backs away several steps.

Another psuedopod forms from the oozes form as he then reaches for and tries to grab up the bone he saw that would make a good weapon.

5-foot step back behind malatok and pick up bone weapon

When you are stuck to the creature, you are considered "grappled"
You can still attack with a -2 penalty. When you attack, succeed with a reflex save 14 to avoid becoming grappled.

Okay, if we're grappled we can't make AOOs. Why didn't I get reflex saves when I attacked it?

I simply forgot about the reflex save. You can make it now if you wish, but he is going to release you before his next attack. There are other ways to deal with these outside of melee.

Not that I have :P It won't change my action anyway.

Fribble continues to bite and claw at the sticky creature.

Bite: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Dashuun tries to kill the thing to get free.
Dagger: 1d20 + 5 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 2 - 2 = 14, Damage: 1d3 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + (1) + 1 = 3
Dagger: 1d20 + 5 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 - 2 - 2 = 7, Damage: 1d3 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + (4) + 1 = 8
Bite: 1d20 + 5 - 5 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 5 - 2 - 2 = 9, Damage: 1d2 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + (6) + 1 = 9

Dashuun, before you use the dagger that you drove into his neck, you have to make a DC17 strength check to pull it free.

Oh, I see.
STR: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Waiting for everyone to post so we can recap.

just having my character move until she gets to them

Lady, I double-moved you during your last turn, so I believe you are standing in the doorway, behind the fray.

Asterisk denotes action needed!

The creature completely misses Malatok and is open for a counterattack.

Ashleaf is at a loss of what to do. He simply stands there until something else happens.

Sleight of Hands to steal the blaster from Oslo

SoH roll 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

If successful gonna load it and give it back to the ooze

Malatok strikes at the creature with all of his might. Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Malatok's blow rings true sending the creature stumbling slightly. It is visibly injured badly, but Malatok's bone is stuck to it.

18: Lady, embarassingly grabs at Oslo's pistol while he is holding it, not having found his harness yet and receives a very puzzled and concerned look from him.

End Round 3
===================
Begin Round 4

Please post actions and I will recap.

Dashuun swings with his only free dagger.
Dagger: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 - 2 = 23, Damage: 1d3 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + (5) + 1 = 7
Crit confirm: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 2 = 19, Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The monster goes down and loses conciousness as well.

The hall is dark, lit with just one small torch that is barely hanging onto flame. It is strewn pieces of refuse and alien parts including bones and rancid flesh.

Fribble looks around for any possible loot, or other doors.

Remember I can see 60' in the dark.

Seeing the creature go down Oslo is rather relived and lowers the club-like weapon he has in one of his three pseudopods. he gives Dashuun and Fribble a nod of appreciation of their efforts.

He then turns to the robot asking in his language, "Oshada jou housh ferdenij?"

I point to the gun and than pull out the piece i believe fits in it.
As I do it I say "Iss It n air"

Oslo looks at the robot woman and considers not giving up his weapon.While he cannot understand her strange lanaguage, he does see that she seems to have found what might be a power source. He relents, his nature is not one to confront but to help. He holds the pistol out to Lady, the weapon pointed at the ground, as to prove he is not threatening her.

He then comments as he motions after the others are the looking about,"Setre housh jou. Nesk osd bouket. Oadd coocla gee rourood"

Perception check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Embedded in the sticky creature which is now not so sticky is Dashuun's dagger, a grappling hook, a rusty scimitar and some sort of circular blade, all able to be easily retrieved now.

Make perception checks please.

Perception 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Ashleaf finds a length of rope under a pile of bones that is coiled in a decent stack.

Dashuun finds a backpack behind a very dry and dusty skeleton of an alien creature. For as much dust that appears on the bones, it is amazing that the pack appears so pristine.

Detect magic. Concentrate for three rounds and scan the whole room. 60' cone, anything magical should show up.

I load the weapon and than give it back to Oslo. I than look about the room.

Perception1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Ashleaf notices a bandolier that is laying strewn within some bones.

Fribble's spell entices a blue glow from Dashuuns new backpack, there is a bone-looking wand that glows along with a flask that must have been missed in an extremely voluminous barrage of "experiments".

Dashuun recovers his daggers then checks the backpack for anything good before slinging it over his shoulders.

Lady finds a large lizard-like skull with a shield-like fastener and a spike protrusion that must have been mistaken as useless monster refuse.

Points to Malatok and than the shield, and than holds it towards him.
