The World's End - Maximum City [A Mutants & Masterminds Campaign]

Game Master DM_Lazer_Beam

The Ghouls attack again. Ghoul 7 takes a 5 foot steps to block Joe's movement. G5 and G6 take Fire damage from being On Fire. G6 is also Dazed for a round.
-Risen Fate gets bit by Ghoul #1 and Ghoul #2 scores a critical hit. Toughness save DC 28 and 2 Venom saves (see below).
-Joe is able to fend off the ghoul that was about to bite him from behind.
-Wild Fire is able to fend off both attackers!

Re-Roll keeps Wild Fire and Joe from taking any hits. Still need the Toughness DC 28 from RF and 2 Venom saves as well (see above post).

Fortitude for venom: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

If I can, I'd like to shoot ghoul 1

Scorching Ray: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Aw dang. Ah well, at least I saved the other two.
Toughness: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 11 - 2 = 25
Fortitude 1: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 1 - 2 = 6
Fortitude 2: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 1 - 2 = 10

Ow. Ow. And Ow.

Baker dodges a ghoul...and spins into the claws of the other, face-first.
ARGH! That really thtings! Oh gawd, I con't pheel my mouf! Owr my awm! I weally hope you two awe doing bettew...

Sorry for late post, my RL game is about to wrap up and I have been spending a lot of time planning the final encounter for this weekend. I still need actions from Risen Fate for this round because despite his failed saves he is only Immobile not completely paralyzed.

While I have the chance and Paizo is working for me, I'm going to post a quick turn. Continue on.

Since I'm currently Immobile, I'll just hit someone near me with a quick Deus Ex.

Deus Ex: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 8 - 2 = 10

Toughness save: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 - 2 = 28
Wow, I thought for sure I'd never make that save!

Risen Fate's plea to the fickle powers of Luck go unheard, but he does find the numbness fades completely! You got two degrees of success on the save at end of round so they cancel out the two degrees of failure you were suffering from. Yay you!

The Ghouls not trapped underneath Wild Fire's Magma Dome(tm) redouble their efforts! And then fail to hit either of you...haste makes wasted attacks it would seem...

Wild Fire points a finger at G1 and it erupts in flame!
-Ghoul 1 simply makes a strange whooshing sound and is reduced to nothing more than smoldering ashes. K.O.

Joe continues his wild swings sadly hitting nothing but air.

*MAP UPDATE*

Round Five Begin!

Fortitude for venom (again): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Aiming at G7 this time. I'll keep hovering where I am; Don't think I'm going anywhere any time soon ><

Scorching Ray: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

These guys are as persistent as the Ghoul Scouts! Er, Girl Scouts.
Baker shakes off the paralysis in his limbs.

No! I do not want to buy cookies!

Baker shoves the nearest ghoul away as it takes a swipe at him.
Deus Ex against #2: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 8 - 2 = 20; Damage DC24

I hope you never did that to real girl scouts!

Nope, but if they ever act like this I may change my mind!

Here I am fighting six overgrown pigeon poop covered statues and you get girl scouts? Well get me some shortbread I love me some short bread!

Timeline! Don't Blink!

what is this, the Cathedrale Notre Dame de paris, Gargoyles do not wake up and attack the enemies of the church.
lets attack #4
power and all out
attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

But I have to Blink, If I don't then id lose! also im pretty sure these Gargoyles arnt the lovable lot that was the cartoon show.

rolling for hit points for pirate campaign
hit points for pirate campaign: 1d10 ⇒ 10
alrighty then, ill take that!

I will be out of internet contact for the next 2 weeks (Yay school trip to Rome!) so if you need to commandeer my character, feel free. Otherwise, man, I hope you don't get into too much trouble while I'm gone! Stuff's really hitting the fan here!

Have fun on your trip, RF! We will take good care of your character while you are gone...probably.

Risen Fate's hands begin to radiate brilliant light as he attempts to shove the Ghoul. It laughs as the light is reflected off it's stony hide.

Ghoul 2 counterattacks at Risen Fate biting him in the ankle. DC 21 Toughness save and another DC 16 Fortitude save vs. Paraylisis Venom.
Ghouls 4&7 make a concerted effort to pierce Joe's defenses but are repelled by his wild swings.

Wild Fire shoots a pinpoint beam of fire at Ghoul 7. It begins to burn quickly. Bruised and Staggered

Joe's repelling attack catches Ghoul 4 square in the rib cage. Although a sickening crunch can be heard, the ghoul seems unaffected by this change. Bruise only

MAP UPDATED

***Round Six is a go!***

guys, i don't know why but i am having a really off time in this place. sorry that i can't be of more assistance.
guessing that this will be a low roll anyway, i will just power attack but not all out attack ghoul number 4
attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
well hey, a decent roll this encounter, yay

Scorching Ray at 7: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Seems we're all having a rough time of it. Just keep beating 'em down! We got this!

Do I still need the fort save?

Fort against venom: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Not like that's doing anything anyways... -_-

Now that Timeline has got rid of those over sized stone pigeons, he attempts to get the layout of this place on his pip boy.

How you doing guys? I finally finished my little problem and now im trying to get a layout of this place are you guys OK without me?

Tempest Risen Fate yells at the nearest Ghoul, No cookies for you!

Deus Ex Machina: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 2 = 19 Damage DC 24

A large chunk of the ceiling mysteriously gives way, falling on top of Ghoul #2.

*Crash*

@Timeline: We're fine, all fine here. Uhm...how are you?

Still need the Fort saves vs. the poison. You remain Immobile until you save.

Cave-In crushes Ghoul #2, Staggering it. Bruised and Staggered

The remaining Ghouls fight to the (re)death!
-Ghoul 2 misses Risen Fate's nose by inches.
-Ghoul 4 and 7 strike while Joe's guard is still down. 7 gets in a particularly vicious bite. Critted by #7, hit by Team Attack. Need DC 28 Toughness save.

Wild Fire, seeing Joe attacked so viciously, focuses her anger on Ghoul 7 roasting it from the inside out! K.O.

Joe attacks more carefully this time landing another solid blow on Ghoul 4. Bruised and Dazed(1 rnd).

**MAP UPDATED**

ROUND 7 START

toughness: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
bruise and dazed,
power attacking, not all out attacking
attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
well, my attacks suck this combat. once again at least not a save.

Doesn't quite sound like you doing to well from my end!
Timeline after getting the layout on his pip boy decides to test his theory that the teleport trap only springs if he trys to teleport out of the building, also leaving the gold for now.
Timeline teleports to the party inside one of the cells and aims ghoul six and eight
blink 1 at G6: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
blink 2 at G8: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 dc20 vs dodge

Miss me?Of course you did!

Back in town, and Greece was awesome! I'll tell you about it all on FB as soon as I post all my pictures!

You know, after taking that test in the tower and finding out that these are some sort of super powers, you'd think they might have mentioned how they work. I mean--

Baker quickly points at ghoul-2.

Deus Ex: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 2 = 14

--I still don't get how this works, but I won't knock it!

Gonna shoot ghoul 2 provided it doesn't hit Rob. I thought it might work since I'm up in the air shooting down.

Scorching ray at ghoul 2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Fort against poison: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Risen Fate waggles his fingers at the nearest ghoul and the room noticeably drops in temperature. Unfortunately the ghouls appear immmune to cold!

Timeline appears in the nearby cell! With a snap of his fingers, Ghoul 4 disappears.

When Ghouls Attack:
- Ghoul 2 nibbles Risen Fate! Toughness Save DC 21

Wild Fire repeatedly shoots gouts of fire at Ghoul 2 and it crumbles into ash. K.O. She is also feeling movement returning to her limbs.

Joe is about to smash Ghoul 4 into pieces...but Timeline makes it disappear!

With the last of the ghouls neutralized, you have a momentary breather.

Toughness: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
And the moment I'm back I roll a 1. Awesome.

Luck point reroll: 1d20 ⇒ 11 + 11 = 22
Gimme a BBE.

The dungeon is quiet save for the hiss of cooling lava.

What's next my predicament-prone PC's?

I float down to the floor and lean against the lava wall with a sigh, enjoying the warmth to the relative coolness of the dungeon. With a decent limp and a lot of stiffness, I walk over to the corner of the lava enclosure and peak around.

How you guys doing?

thanks timline, i don't need to make a save

Would perception help with that? I get a +10 to it.

i don't know? ask the might DM

Baker, breathing heavily, uses the wall to steady himself.

You know, she did take it upon herself to run off on us. Also, I'd bet she somehow missed the ghouls that went straight for us; I never heard any calls for help or anything! And if she had seen the ghouls on her way out, I doubt she would have run through them, especially since she seemed so keen to stick with us from the start.

Baker massages his temples to stave off the beginnings of a headache.
I don't know that we should stay here necessarily, but I for one need a rest. Maybe this is just my need for sleep talking but I don't know how safe I feel in this room seeing as it only has one exit to...we really don't know where.

Perception is indeed the tracking skill! Also people with Heat Vision can perhaps track heat signatures with a good enough perception check...

As you rest, you begin to feel better. Joe is unable to find any clay in the stone walls but remembers the clay he brought with him.

1 minute of rest, remove your worst condition. RF, I think Exhaustion is supposed to last longer normally but I am ok with you removing that as your condition this minute if you'd like. A freebie if you like.

Why thank you.

Baker decides he doesn't care about safety at the moment; the cool floor feels so nice... He finds a corner away from the ghoul bodies to sit down for a moment.

What would you guys do with out me? I fought off six giant gargoyles by sending them to their deaths in the many traps that the good host has made especially for us, and had to come back to bail you out. But on a serious note there are four viscous traps we have to worry about as well as that samurai guy is still around somewhere and off course our lovely host that is running this shindig. Now i can get to the girl if you wish but I think we should deal with the big baddy first now I don't quite have the full schematic of the building but i have a layout showing anything running off power....
Timeline pauses in his long winded catch everyone up and brag session and looks at each one of you.
But maybe we should take a minute you all took a little bit of a beating in that last fight.

Dont know if a treatment check will help at all but i will roll anyways you tell me if it wont help.thought it might help get us back up and moving faster.
Timeline walks up to each of you. Here let me take a look at your wounds
treatment for fate: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
treatment for wildfire: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
treatment for joe: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

timeline, i don't think yours will work for me. I use up 2 clay to remove dazed condition and bruised. this, along with two other uses of healing, i have used 4 clay this day, and i bring 5 with me, so i have one use left.

The Doctor of Time and Space is in!

As Timeline begins to inspect each of you he is able to bandage you up a bit better. Risen Fate and Wild Fire each heal another condition/Bruise from the treatment (although he does need to use 2 uses of Joe's medical supplies).

Joe passes on the treatment check as Timeline vainly attempts to discern the anatomy of his half ton friend.

As the antibiotics kick in, Wild Fire slumps against the stone wall and drifts away into unconsciousness...

Just don't draw on my face...I know how this sleep over stuff works when you're first...

The rest of the sentence is cut off from my quick flight into sleep.

Oh yeah I have heat vision! :D

Timeline, Wild Fire's breathing begins to get shallower and her skin seems to be getting pale and clammy. She appears to be going into some sort of anaphylactic shock.

never-mind, i used only 1 clay and still have 2 pieces left

Um... that doesn't look good. Doc, what'd you do to her?

As Risen fate bends over Wild Fire in worry, she reaches out and grasps Fate's hand in one of hers and her breathing calms a little.

As per Hollywood, a concerned love interest friend standing over you almost always increases your chances of survival. Still need that Treatment check from Timeline.

Hold on.
Timeline looks her over again.
treatment: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
I dont know whats wrong...that worked on Scrubs.
Timeline continues to try to do everything he can think of.
