The Red Arm of Absalom - Ongoing Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master GM Red

Pagbean narrows his eyes at Mr. Peppers. "A... Long walk off a short pier? You're a wise guy, are you? Miss, for your sake, I hope you haven't been traveling with this jerk for long!" He says to Cup.

"Lohad says she arrived here through some gate - similar to how I got here myself. Got grouped in with all these Pathfinders who were mumbling about rescuing some captive or some such... I just want to go home," the gnome pleads.

"Maybe I'll make for this rocket ship! Nothing a little tinkering can't fix, and I've got all the tools I need. Here," Pagbean says, pulling a box from his backpack, "You've provided us with food, water, and sort of a way out, so let me return the favor. Take this. We may have ... Acquired these from the vault guardians." He hands the box to Cup.

Inside are two potions of cure light wounds, a potion of cure moderate wounds, a potion of lesser restoration, and a potion of haste.

Success earned!

Uesugi bows in gratitude towards the gnome and the lady. Uesugi then gives him direction to the rally point where the group first entered not understanding what 'ship' Mr. Peppers is talking about. "Head there it will at least provide you some succor from anymore cultists."

Onward!!!

"Oh, thank you!" Cup impulsively kisses Pagbean on the cheek. "There's also another route available to you... Have you seen those ever flashing messages from our Master of Spells, Sorrina Westyr? She's got some sort of communication center set up near the Crater along with a crusty old Pathfinder VC named Drandle Dreng!" She sketches a path with dancing lights behind them. "You cannot miss them if you go this way, and there is no way they would not offer you a lift, if only for the chance to interview you about your travels!"

She hands them a card for her family's business. "When you get to Absalom, look up my family. The Posh Kettle is a great inn, and you can contact me while there! Promise you will?"

Pagbean turns lobster red as he's kissed. "Ahem right right, that way, okay.. I'll go .. That way..." Swooning, he stumbles along the path Cup had indicated towards the crater and calls back, "The Posh Kettle inn! I got it! You'll see me again soon, miss, you can count on it!"

The red-skinned woman nods firmly as if she had understood the exchange, then pulls her firearm out and follows after him.

The path towards the central vault continues on, and as you delve deeper in, the green hue that had illuminated the earlier stonework has grown all the more brighter. It is evident that the crater hosts a strong level of radiation, and had it not been for planetary adaptation, you may have ended up quite sick.

2d10 + 10 ⇒ (2, 2) + 10 = 14 minutes later, the trail of radiation leads you to a broken down temple. Vaulted arcs of stone create a bizarre network of geometric recesses, like a petrified beehive but orders of magnitude larger. In one cell stands an altar smeared with blood and ochre. The chambers ahead are warm and brightly lit.

Who's going in?

You may recognize this map (Slide 1) from 7-00.

Sirettis watches the exchange with a mix of curiosity and satisfaction, but is otherwise silent.

As they approach the temple, Sirettis pulls out a wand and renews her mage armor. "Isa, help me look out for trouble."

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Isa's Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

He watches them leave and leads the group down the central path. Nearing the broken temple he stops. "Mr. Peppers bless my blade with the wand if you can. I do not like the appearance of this place. Do your eyes see any wu jen trickery about?"

Mr Peppers gives the Gnome the one finger wave as he heads off... at least that's what he does in his head anyhow. Good riddance.

After they leave and move along, Mr Peppers, still with the smirk on his face over thinking about flipping the little dust monkey the bird, he pulls out his ironwood wand to resummon his chain shirt, and also that nearly used up scroll of false life. False Life: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

At the place with the thing...

Tall, Dark, and Anti-Gnome responds to Uesugi with his tell-tale blue eyes as he casts 'Detect Magical Crack' and looks around, the Wand of Bless Weapon in hand ready to use it at a moment's notice. "This place seems eerily familiar does it not?"

Perception + Boon: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 1 = 18

UMD Bless Weapon Wand + Boon vs DC20: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 1 = 26

Cup looks around. She's never seen it before. "Um... eerily familiar? Did you guys see something like this in Thuvia while I was away? If so... Ewww."

"Is that dried blood, Sirettis? Any idea of the type or how it was put here?" Cup looks at it...

Heal: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Maybe it's just cheerful red paint!

...but who is she kidding? She has no medicall training! "It's too dried up for me to make out... Are we sure it's blood?"

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

"Thuvia was a very interesting journey."

Sirettis inspects the blood.
Heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Upon closer inspection, the redness on the altar is indeed blood, and as you lean over to get a closer look, you feel a chill run up your spine. Two skeletal figures peek out from behind the pillars behind the altar and stumble forward, twin motes of fiery light glowing deep within their eye sockets. Perhaps you will be the next sacrifice?

Green acts first. The undead creature rushes ahead towards D, and the sight and smell of the thing causes anyone within ten feet to feel thoroughly terrified. This is a fear effect. Cup, D, and Gallix need to pass a DC 16 Will save or become frightened for 1d4 ⇒ 4 rounds.

Cultist Chambers (bold is up): D (will save), Red Undead, Cup (will save), Sirettis, Gallix (will save), Mr. Peppers, Longjing, Uesugi

D. would prefer to stay semi-invisible in uncharted areas, personal safety purposes, if you please.

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Thanks...how un-character like. :P
As frightened doesn't say i can't do anything other than moving away, i assume D. stays at least 30 ft away from the crypt thing at all times.
Taking related penalties as it lasts.

Something creeps into D.'s mind.
Despite his normal composure, he gets an urge to stay away from this thing, more than usual.

Acro vs aoo: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
As this causes me to move 1/2 speed, D. takes a 2nd move.

D runs like hell as fear invades his mind. The red-eyed undead stumbles ahead and has the same effect on... everyone else. I swear I'm not feeling sadistic today. Mr. Peppers, Sirettis, Uesugi need a save. Gallix and Cup need an additional one should they pass the first one. This will last 1d4 ⇒ 4 rounds.

Cultist Chambers (bold is up): D (frightened 4 rds), Red Undead, Cup (2 will saves), Sirettis (will save), Gallix (2 will saves), Mr. Peppers (will save), Longjing (will save), Uesugi (will save)

Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

What is this trying to do? Haha! You listen to me, girl. Stand your ground!

Something about these creatures frighten her. "No! You will not trick me! These things mean death, I'll not fall for your tricks!" Sirettis screams at it and runs away.

Knowledge: Religion: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 = 11
Will Save vs Fear: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 = 27

Mr Peppers' mind goes blank as he tries to figure out exactly what these things are... Lucky for him it doesn't even cross his mind that they're scary until D strategically retreats.

"Get outta my face! I'm not sure what they are!" Mr Peppers steps back and conjures forth three missiles of force, directing them at the creatures' legs in hopes of sending them sprawling to the ground.

Casting Magic Missile + Toppling Spell: Caster Check/Damage/Trip CMB: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 113d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1, 2) + 3 = 81d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Edit: Sorry, the first two missiles would be at the closest mob to Mr Peppers and the third at the other guy.

Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

The little gnome stands her ground. She's not terrified...

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

...mainly because she doesn't know what it is!

Cup starts up inspire courage!

+2 to attack, +2 to damage, +2 morale vs fear

♫ No need for alarm
We're the Red Arm
We stand to fight!

But I know my team
No need to run and scream
We stand to fight! ♫

Will save 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Will save 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Gallix had hung back during the conversation with the gnome and strange, otherworldly woman. The sight of her firearm had triggered memories of a quiet, but wise kitsune who had traveled with the Red Arm for a while before deciding to pursue his own path through the Society. Gallix had thought of Blaster Corsac a few times since the kitsune had left part way through their mission in Isger, and now this woman's firearm brought all of those thoughts and memories back in an instant, stunning the brawler into uncharacteristic silence.

Gallix follows the others into the somehow familiar temple, and two skeletal figures appear from behind the altar. Suddenly, Gallix's friends begin fleeing all around him. "Wait," he shouts after them, "Don't leave me behind. Why does everyone always leave?"

Using Resolve
will save#1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
will save#2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Sickened by the wu jen trickery Uesugi becomes incensed as he watches the barbarian flee in the presence of these cursed creatures.

His eyes cast scorn at the first creature "When I send you back to your master let it know that I will be coming for it next!"

Challenge red undead. -2 AC vs any opponents except red undead

katana 1st strike '2hand'+p.a: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 2 + 2 = 16
If hit=True Cornugan Strike (demoralize): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 6 + 2 + 6 = 25

damage: 1d8 + 4 + 6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 6 + 2 + 6 = 26

Sirettis ignores its words and starts to flee, only to hear Miss Poshkettle's music. Something inspires her. If Miss Poshkettle will stand, then so can I!

Sirettis pulls out her mace, takes a five foot step back, then conjures a cloud of pure lightning atop the red-tinted fiend.

Casting Ball Lightning. Reflex Save DC 17 to halve 3d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 6) = 13 electricity damage.

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Mr. Peppers manages to steel his mind against fear and blasts the two undead with arcane missiles, though they aren't quite forceful enough to knock the creatures off their feet. Uesugi ends up with a pair of misses, and Sirettis zaps one of the two with a globe of lightning.

The green-kneed undead steps up to the green gnome and swipes her across the arms with its veiny sharp hands.
Claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 221d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 221d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
.. Ouch.

I'll have red act as well given that D is still frightened

Claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 291d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 191d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Red retaliates against Uesugi. The first claw finds a weak break between his armor and flesh while the second glances off of it.

Cultist Chambers (bold is up): Green Undead (-2), D (frightened 3 rds), Red Undead (-12), Cup (-18), Sirettis, Gallix (frightened 4 rds), Mr. Peppers, Longjing (still needs will save), Uesugi (-7, Challenge vs red)

D. moves west, then flings a sand bullet at red.
At the enemy, not the GM, of course.

Sand bullet, BB, debuff: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 2 - 2 = 26 Dmg, BB: 3d6 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (6, 1, 4) + 8 + 4 = 23

As the undead creature hasn't moved, the thundercloud continues to strike it.
Dealing another 3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3) = 7 electric damage (DC 17 Reflex for half)

Sirettis moves and lines herself up to flank with Uesugi. Her hair trails across the ground, finally turning into a gangly mess to bludgeon with. "I will aid your assault, Sir Uesugi!"

Moving, then activating Prehensile Hair.

Gallix continues to flee from the undead, as his mind swims with memories of all those he has lost in his life.

Second time this has happened to me in recent memory. Bummer. See you guys in 7 more rounds or so. Gallix is headed back to the gates.

Mr Peppers seeing the fleeing members figures he should lob in some more spells. He weaves his glowing magic missile spell once more, adding in a bit of extra power to squeek out an extra missile. "Hold on Miss Cup, protect yourself!" Blasting Green

Casting Magic Missile with +1 CL: Caster Check/Damage: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 154d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 1) + 4 = 11 d4s really aren't my friend!

Concentration: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

"Defend myself? Alright." Cup casts defensively, bringing a mirror image spell into being.

Mirror Images: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Suddenly, there are five of her. "If we're to bring these guys down with just the four of us, I need a bit more staying power here. I'll try and stay a target until Uesugi, Sirettis and you can bring these monsters down!"

Mirror Image actve -- 4 images plus Cup!

Longjing Will Save: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 = 15

The noble dragon quivers in terror and flees. "Noble Steed... Gentle Gnome... Save yourselves!"

Uesugi ignores the brief pain as he feels claw of the creature slightly rip through the protective armour of his tatami-do focusing more on D. and Little Dragon as they also flee in terror. Incensed by the wu jen trickery he focuses his rage into his blade and strikes the creature with his glowing katana!

"This battle will be done soon enough." he grits his teeth as he declares this to the elf, Spirit and the quintuple gnome.

katana 1st strike '2hand'+p.a+song+flank: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 10 - 2 + 2 + 2 = 32
If hit=True Cornugan Strike (demoralize): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
damage+song+challenge: 1d8 + 4 + 6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 6 + 2 + 6 = 20

damage auto crit confirm:bless weapon+song+challenge: 1d8 + 4 + 6 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 6 + 2 + 6 = 20

Since I confirmed my crit I get +2 circumstance bonus on a single attack roll, saving throw, skill check, or ability check of your choice before the end of your next turn for surge of success feat aka sos.

katana 2nd strike '2hand'+p.a+song+flank+sos: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 10 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 25
If hit=True Cornugan Strike (demoralize): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 6 = 16

If I am able to finish off the red undead with first hit then I'll take a five foot step towards second opponent and use my second attack on the green undead. The attack roll will be 23 because no flanking on green in this case.

Like a boss!!

Reflex vs lightning: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Mr. Peppers fires another barrage of missiles at the green-speckled undead while Sirettis' storm cloud continues to shock the red one. Uesugi steps up to green and focuses his inner rage, causing the blade to slice through the thing's body like a stick of butter. His movements a blur to anyone else, Uesugi steps over to red and strikes a deep wound across its chest, some of its rotting flesh decorating his armor.

Claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 251d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 281d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
The mindless creature lunges forward and inflicts another set of lacerations to Uesugi's body.

Cultist Chambers (bold is up): Green Undead (-29), D (frightened 2 rds), Cup (-18), Sirettis, Gallix (frightened 3 rds), Mr. Peppers, Longjing (frightened 3 rds), Uesugi (-29)

Am i outside of hearing it? If so, can i act at all.
I mean, if i can't act at all, you might as well skip my turn.

Cup tumbles into a position behind Green...

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30

...whips him in the face to aid Uesugi's attack...

Whip Aid Another: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 = 16

...then takes a 5 foot step closer to provide both another target and a flank for Uesugi. "Excellent work, Uesugi! We can get rid of these horrid things together!"

Uesugi's bonus to hit this round is +2 inspire courage, +4 aid another, +2 flank. Cup has a spiked gauntlet so that she can both threaten and cast spells.

Sirettis redirects the thundercloud on top of the green creature, then moves into place, lashing her hair at the beast.

Reflex Save DC 17 or they take 3d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 1) = 8 electric damage.

Mr Peppers lets out a slight cheer seeing one of the undead fall. "One down one to go!" He moves in behind 'Sugi and draws out Sirettis' healing wand to help stop some of his bleeding... with an emphasis on 'some'.

UMD/CLW + Boon: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 13 + 1 = 271d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Uesugi feels his body lurch back as the undead creature rips its claws against Uesugi's upper body. Setting his feet into the ground he raises the glowing katana high into the skin and comes down with it at the creatures outstretched arms.

katana 1st strike '2hand'+p.a+flank+aa+song: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 2 + 8 = 29
If hit=True Cornugan Strike (demoralize): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 6 + 2 = 18

katana 2nd strike '2hand'+p.aflank+aa+song: 1d20 + 5 - 2 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 5 - 2 + 8 = 17
If hit=True Cornugan Strike (demoralize): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
damage: 1d8 + 4 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 6 + 2 = 15

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
After Sirettis blasts the crypt thing with another bolt of lightning, Red Arm Stoic Samurai Uesugi Hideyoshi swoops down from above, his blade another blur as it carves the creature down its center as if it were a beam of light. The two halves flop over and leave a bloody, corrupt mess at Uesugi's feet.

Out of combat!

Sirettis uses the wand of cure light wounds to help Uesugi's wounds.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
29 HP exactly. Mr. Pepper's wand has 33 charges remaining.

"Thank you Sir Uesugi. Thank you, Miss Poshkettle. Your displays of bravery and courage inspired me to stay and fight on."

Cup uses her own wand.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"Oh, much better! " As she's rummaging through her wands, she finds her old Lucky Number wand. "Oh, I feel stupid now. We all could have used some more luck here on this asteroid, but I forgot that I had it."

She casts it on the entire party. "Let's see what your Lucky Numbers hold!"

Everyone, roll a D20! Whenever you roll this again, you can either reroll or add +2 to your roll!

Lucky Number: 1d20 ⇒ 6

"Rawwwwwwwwk!" The dragon proclaims when he returns. "My lucky number is six! Noble steed, I am so sorry that I ran from you. It was not the act of a brave dragon!"

Lucky Number: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Cup casts on herself. "And mine is 12. Hmmmm...."

Everyone, put your numbers in your status headers so you don't forget.

Lucky Number: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Isa chirps up. "Don't worry about it! I'm usually nested in Sirettis's hair- at least you fly around the place."

Lucky #: 1d20 ⇒ 15 Mr Peppers nods in thanks at the interesting spell. "Hope it turns out better than bad with the goblins!"

Mr Peppers then takes a look around the altar, eyes a glow as he does. Detect Magic. Also take a charge off your CLW wand Sirettis for that in fight heal on 'Sugi.

Perception + Boon: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 13 + 1 = 15

Mr. Peppers senses a mixture of conjuration and abjuration auras emanating from a rusted box (not locked) underneath the altar.

OOOooo Magic! Knowledge:Arcana: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 14 + 1 = 27 "STAND BACK! Unknown magic in there!" Mr Peppers bends down to investigate...

Mr. Peppers pops the box open and a quasit leaps out and stabs him in the eye finds a stash of magical items. He determines that there are four potions of endure elements, two potions of cure light wounds, a potion of remove disease, a wand of lesser restoration (5 charges), and a scroll of remove curse inside the box.

Mr Peppers pulls out the box and pops the top towards the group "GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY! A pile of useful scrolls, potions and a wand!" He grabs the scroll of remove curse and stuffs it into his scroll case.

"Lots of great stuff there. I wonder how long its been stashed there?" He readjusts his equipment, taking stock of what he's got available and gives himself a quick magical cleaning while he waits on the others to regain their readiness.

Is it that common to find so many consumable magic items? It may be worthwhile for me to get the exploit to destroy them for extra arcana points...

STAND BACK! Unknown magic in there!

"When isn't there, when we get to unknown places?", D. casually adds.

He nods in response of 'lots of great stuff'.
"You look like....like, well like someone who has found the birthday present."

As you finish healing yourselves up, a strange toad hops out from underneath the altar and lands on Gallix's shoulder. Shortly after, the same fabulous grippli that you saw back at the gate peeks her head out and then jumps atop the altar.

"Oh, good. They're gone! HellllOOooo!" She says, excitedly hopping around until she accidentally lands on one of the crypt thing's corpses. "Ugh, and I just got a pedicure. Some nerve! Nasty thing." Clearing her throat, and toes, she addresses you.

"So what's the hold up? Something's about to go down, right? Yeah, I feel it too! Somehow. So let me just give you a quick reminder here. It looks like you still have quite a few magical goodies. I'm looking at you, mister geeky wizard," she folds her arms and grins at Mr. Peppers. "I can see those snapleaves and air crystals peeking out of your pack! Good on you for saving them until now. Never know when you might be in a bind!" Wink

"Yeah, well, I guess that's it. I took a wrong turn, or seven, and ended up down here. Like, could this asteroid have any less signage!? Ri-dic-ulous. I mean, who knows what might happen if I stay here too long? All this extraplanar nonsense. UGH, what if I age faster in here?!?!" She gasps dramatically. "Ohnononono... I gotta go... Um, for real this time. See ya."

About a minute after Uesugi cleaves the second second undead into a second and third undead, Gallix pokes his head sheepishly around the entrance to the temple. "Hey guys," he says, "Sorry 'bout bailing on you like that. I don't know what happened. Looks like you guys had it pretty well handled though. Good job." He stands nearby as Mr. Peppers discovers the trove of magical goodies.

When the toad hops on his shoulder, he tilts his head curiously, then shrugs and allows it to sit there until its master arrives. After Tiffany gives her helpful reminder, Gallix raises a hand clears his throat. "Um...I guess the wands probably won't be any good in my hands, but I'd take one or two of those healing potions."

I'll take one of the potions of CLW for now. I'll take another one if no one else feels like claiming them.

Cup grins at the Grippli. "Thanks for the tip!" She pins snap leaves to everyone's chests, then checks her Lucky Number Wand. "Now, who have I missed?" Her eyes light on Uesugi. "Uesugi, what is your lucky number?"

Roll it, baby!

Cup then marches purposefully up to Gallix. "Want to know what else you are taking, Gallix?" She pokes him with her wand. "You're taking a lucky number, that's what!"

Roll a D20. Then put that lucky number in your header.

Then she slaps him with a spell. "This is heroism. It is 100 percent pure awesomeness."

Cup's heroism is sooooooo awesome that it will last for the entire rest of the hour and hopefully the rest of the special. Gallix, take a +2 to just about everything. Skill checks. Saves. Attack rolls. For the next hour, you are EVEN MORE FREAKING AWESOME. Then mark it in your header.

Then she pokes him with another wand. "See this? This is Protection from Evil. I am going to keep poking you with this. NOW, repeat after me. I am GORGEOUS GALLIX GRANBONNE. My hair is PERFECT! The next time I meet a monster, they're the ones that are going to be running!" She taps her foot. "Got that, Gallix?"

An additional +2 Resistance saves to effects from Evil Creatures for 10 minutes. Then mark it in your header.

She puts it on herself. She puts Protection from Evil on any party member that raises their hand. "I don't like undead."

Gallix rubs his arm and winces as he hits the spot where Cup had jabbed her series of wands into his bicep. "Ouch! Uh...thanks, Cup. Next time maybe not so hard though?" He laughs a little at the gnome's enthusiastic pep talk, then moves over and climbs atop the altar. He takes a wide, powerful stance, breathes in deeply, and shouts out at the top of his lungs.

"Alright all you little Ayrzul toadies out there, listen up. I am GORGEOUS GALLIX GRANBONNE. My hair is PERFECT! And the next time I...the next time WE meet a monster, they're the ones that are going to be running!"

He looks down at his friends to cue them in, and gives Peppers the sign to start the light show they had practiced on the way to Thuvia.

"We are....THE RED ARM OF ABSALOM!!!"

Lucky#: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Thanks for all the support, Cup!

Cup leaps up a little higher than her normal bounce, excited in the lower gravity! "Yes, now that is what I am talking about!" She pumps her fist in the air. "We are... THE RED ARM OF ABSALOM! Woooooo! Now let's head forward and see if Sorrina has anything for us now that we've hit the vault!"

Then she pauses, looking at the corpse-things. "Actually... before we go... Does anyone mind if I pull out a chronicle and quickly scan the pictures for what those things were? I HATE not knowing what the heck monsters are, and want to improve my skills." She pulls out her Kreighton's Perusal wand. "Want to read up as well, Pep? I'd be happy to share a wand charge with you."
