The dinosaurs charge into an empty room! This oddly pentagon shaped room is solid stone along four walls, the floor and ceiling. The wall across from the door, however, is painted with a fantastic panorama of space. Very detailed and amazingly rendered, this starscape draws your attention.
"Really? No one builds a room and then leaves it empty." thinks Aramil as he scans the room. While the others observe the mural, the half-elf takes a more thorough look at the room.
Perception:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Everyone that looked into the room please give me a will save vs DC 14 or become Facinated with the painting and become convinced that you can step into the painting and fall right out into the sky. V: the wall emanates as illusion magic.
As the party looks upon the wondrous and lifelike painting, they can feel it call out to them.
Aramil Will Save:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 This room has led to some really good role play, both in the game I played and in the other table. But since no one is really willing to bite.. moving on.
Aramil shakes off the pull of the painting, and as Vanzetti walks closer to examine the painting, a blinding flash of light comes from the painting. Suddenly, a great cataclysm is depicted within the painting, as a super nova destroys entire star systems right before your eyes.
V: Make another DC 14 Will save or suffer Charisma Dmg:1d4 ⇒ 1 as an overwhelming sense of loss fills your being. Think Alderaan and the Jedi...
Moving on.. Only one door left. I have stacked you up on the map.
V: Yes, that happens to me frequently. I don't know where the bug lies, but it is in there. Tell you what. If you roll again, it *should* have saved your roll and will pop up with the same numbers. Give it a try and we will go from there.
This strangely shaped room consists of two wings. To the east, a low workbench wraps around the walls. To the west, a larger wing opens into what appears to be a strange laboratory. A curving workbench covered with gory heaps of flesh and bone sits against the laboratory’s wall. In alcoves to the north and south are strange contraptions resembling iron cages fitted with human-sized openings.
Knowledge Nature DC 15:
Mi-go are extraterrestrial travelers from deep space who view the universe as a canvas to be mastered and controlled. Their numbers on any particular planet can vary, but taken on a galactic scale, are mind-numbing in scope. The creature is a highly evolved form of extraterrestrial fungus. A typical mi-go is roughly the size of a human, but weighs only 90 pounds.
Knowledge Nature DC 20:
Immune cold, plant traits; Resist electricity and fire.
As you enter the room, you see in the west wing an ugly monstrosity with a bulbous head, eight arms/ legs, and huge segmented eyes. As soon as you see it, it vanishes from sight.

"Mmmmh... were did it go? What did it do? Can that thing turn invisible? Well... we are going to find out..." so saying Rogar concentrates for a moment remembering the power bestowed upon him when he and some of his fellow pathfinders saved a ghaele's life and he personally slayed a zombie dragon, seems like it's time to collect that boon...
Activating the boon: Gift of the Ghaele and the effect is see invisibility. If that reveals the creature Rogar moves forward engages and attacks it!
Of course, Kyra. I had that in mind.. I just forgot to type it. Thank you Rogar for telling me your AC!
The room is filled with an angry scream as Rogar brings his sword down on the creature, scratching its chitinous carapace. Suddenly, it winks back into view as it attacks Rogar for his impertinence.
Aramil draws his weapons and moves forward to attack. He tries to take a stab at the creature from out around the corner.
Attack:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20 Damage:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
As the skeletons try to move past the creature, it whips out a cruelly sharpened claw at each of them, but it doesn't have much effect. Their own attacks fail.
AOO Blue:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23 Damage:1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 DR, so no dmg
Male Halfling | Rogue (Acrobat) 8 | AC 19 T 16 FF 14 | HP 25/38 | F +3 R +9 W +3 | Init +4 | Perc +7
Bolger sees the path into the next room blocked again, but he tries to dodge between friend and foe while drawing his sling.
Acrobatics:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Bolger moves into the fray, narrowly dodging past the creature, while Rogar gives the thing another good smack with his sword before drawing back from the fight.
I had the DR backwards again.. his full damage is now attributed.
The creature gives a howl of indignity at the savage little aliens that have dared to lay weapons on him. In anger, he turns to the skeletons that have him pressed into a corner.
With the creature's full focus (and all of its limbs) on one skeleton, V ducks through to finally get a better vantage point, and blasts it with a crystal wand sculpted into a pair of realistic glass eyes at the end, from which emerge two volatile bursts of magical power.
magic missile:2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 = 7
How long has it been since we entered the dungeon?
V: Yall have been plowing pretty hard through this place.. with only a few hangups. Considering the search of the main cavern and the number of side branches, I would go with Rogar and give it 2-3 hours of search time.
Rogar slides in and takes a powerful stroke, but his sword glances off of the beast Doesnt meet AC
Vanzetti sends in the skeletons, but they fail to do any more than just bounce off of the creatures hard chitinous armour. Following this, V slides into the room, blasting away with his wand.
Kyra and Bolger both try to get in hits but miss, with Silas still holding back.
Still occupied with the skeletons, the creature continues his attacks, then releases the dinosoar after each strike.
C4 DMG:1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 Grapple:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19 Precision:2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4 15 dmg after DR. Blue falls and the creature shifts the rest of the attacks over to Red. What does that leave Red at?
|AC 16*, T 12, FF 16*|HP: 53*/47|F +7, R +6, W +8 * (+7 vs MA, +2 vs divine/Fire/NE/death/ED/Necr/Evil)|Init 0, Perc +1*|CMB +5*, CMD 13|10/10 Sacrifice, 1/1 Pyrotechnics, 1/1 Godless, 1/1 Rally, 1/1 Rova, 1/1 Liberate, X
Red was 1 hit point below maximum. I don't think I should've gotten hit. I'm pretty certain creatures in a grapple can't normally make attacks of opportunity.
I noted earlier that the "Grapple" rolls are to determine if extra damage is dealt from the precision strikes. Although it could, of course, maintain the grapple, I have not been doing that. I am sorry if that was not clearly stated since the first attack. I edited it to remove the AOO since I did not explicitly state this last turn.
So blue is gone, total of 6 dmg to red, including the 1 it was short.
