Thornkeep: Enigma Vaults Table II (Inactive)

Game Master Awenydd83

After a few hundred feet of tunnel, Jirelle finds that her way is blocked by a massive cave in.

Yall have almost survived!!! I'm pulling for you!!!

"Um, shall we keep exploring?"

Jirell wanders to the "south" door of the chamber they just came from. Newly marked as 'E'.

Inspecting it briefly, she throws it open with abandon.
Perception: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 - 2 = 18

"Um, shall we keep exploring?"

"Why not?", answered Amiri.

"Since somebody heal me, for sure", she says looking to Rolando and Yoon.

Karasuma attempts to poke Amiri with a wand of cure light wounds!

UMD(Previously activated): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 111d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

With nearly the exact same result as last time.

UMD (Previously activated) Third time's the charm?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 201d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

I think I got a defective wand. Anyways, Amiri, get 2 hp back! *laughs*

The tengu winces as Jirelle goes 'full village idiot',and tries to catch up!

Rolando watches Karasuma politely and clears his throat as Jirelle starts moving.

May I? he asks and, without waiting for a reply, starts healing Amiri with Yoon's wand.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

So after 1 from Karasuma and 3 from me, you're only missing one. That's 4 total charges from Yoon's wand. If you want the last HP, that'll be one more charge. I generally try to top off if possible, even for only 1 hp, but Amiri does have a lot of HP, so you decide. ;-)

It's fine for me only these 4 charges (1 Karasuma + 3 Yoon). Thank you!

No problem. We need the squishy to live!

Jirelle finds nothing on her inspection of the door before suddenly throwing wide the portal.. as she does so, two angry clouds of evil energy coalesce on either side of the hall. There are barred doors on either side of the main hall and another double set of bars at the far end.. and through these bars the creatures boil forth. As they approach, you begin to hear muttering, like an insane person speaking to themselves in endless circles of madness.

All characters must make a DC 15 Will save or be Fascinated for Rounds: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

Will DC 15: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

I'll wait for Rolando's turn. :)

Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

May I use a folio reroll?

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

If that babbling is considered sonic or language-based I get an additional +4

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Despite the muttering, Rolando's head is clear.

Don't listen to their muttering, they can drive you mad! Poor things, stuck between worlds. Spirits can't harm them, but they can still help...

With that he sings a slow, sad tune. A haunting melody that summons forth the spirits of the honored dead. This time they swirl around and enter the weapons of the Pathfinders.

Weapon Song

Ghost Touch to Jirelle and Amiri. Have at it!

Free action: Hold Flag in Buckler hand

I thought of one other thing--If Jirelle fails her save (since the saves happen before our turn, right?) I will use my move action to take the rapier out of her hand. Cool?

In a furious rage, Amiri runs in the red thing's direction, cutting the air with her sword.

Atk+ PA + Flag: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 112d8 + 10 + 6 ⇒ (8, 5) + 10 + 6 = 29

Karasuma: Yes you may.
Rolando: as long as its good with her, that's fine with me!

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Yoon, listening to the chattering thing, tilts her head to the side while looking at it. "So neat, don't you think so Gom Gom?", she asks while swaying from side to side before sitting down on the ground, crossing her legs and pulling out the stuffed owlbear so he could watch as well.

Will(Reroll): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

The tengu tries to shake it off, so desperately, but... fails.

I'm listening to your servants, O Song of the Spheres. I promise I won't run away this time, or let myself be led astray. Show me the night path...

Just so that I have this all straight

Fascinated x5:
Yoon
Karasuma

OK:
Amiri
Rolando

Just waiting on Jirelle before we proceed.

Seems to be the case, and Jirelle has noted that weekends are rough for their posting, if memory serves?

Yea, its no big deal. I just wanted to make sure that I had everything straight. Its been an ugly week for me..

Jirelle Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Even without all of her possible bonuses, that easily makes DC.

Jirelle laughs at the boiling clouds attempt to mess with her head Pushing along, but action x2.

Rolando easily defeats the intrusions of insanity before beginning his trusted song again.

Amiri, true to her nature, rushes in and tries to take the creatures on head to head! Unfortunately, her first swing misses the target.

Yoon and Karasuma both fall victim to the voices and decide to sit back and relax for a while. It HAS been a busy couple of days, after all.

Sensing fresh life in close proximity, the clouds boil over and head straight for the closest living thing.. Amiri.

Jirelle x2
Karasuma and Yoon: Facinated x4

Were the creatures flat-footed vs Amiri's attack? Incorporeals usually only have Dex/dodge, right? I only ask because if Amiri kills it (alone or with Jirelle) we can possibly save Amiri's hide. :-)

They were, and she missed it. These have a deflection bonus and a dex score, but its all the same difference at this point. Good news is that she still has 5 wisdom, and although the RP should be interesting, it will not be fatal.

That makes sense. Thanks!

Rolando, still singing, shakes Karasuma vigorously, then points to Yoon, advising the Tengu to do the same.

Free action: Maintain song

Standard action: Wake Karasuma from Fascinated

Conditional Move action--if there is an open square after Jirelle moves twice, I will move down to help out Amiri (moving as far as I can without provoking). I don't want to get in Jirelle's way.

Action upon being jostled from Fascinate: Shake Yoon, if allowed, to get her focused.

Sorry for being out. Weekends are usually a bit easier on me than this, but this one was killer.

Jirelle steps up and engages the .. whatever these things are. (yellow)

Rapier: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
dmg+precision+flagbearer: 1d6 + 1 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 4 + 1 = 11

EDIT: Added flag-bearer. Have been forgetting that one.

+1 Damage from Flagbearer! :-)

Does Jirelle get another action, or did I miss something?

She does--she might be waiting to see if Amiri drops that one.

*Two* actions? Then *I* missed something. It's waaay past my bed time, but I wanted to check in so as not to hold y'all up further.

Move as needed. vs yellow, unless it isn't.

Rapier+flag: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 1 = 23
dmg+precision+flag: 1d6 + 1 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 4 + 1 = 11

Disoriented, Amiri steps back and tries to hit the only "thing" she can see.

5-foot step back.

Atk yellow thing + PA + Flag: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 92d8 + 10 + 6 ⇒ (8, 8) + 10 + 6 = 32

Not a problem, Jirelle. We knew you were busy, and save you a place at the fight!

Rolando keeps his song going while shaking Karasuma out of his trance. Shaking his head, the birdman quickly realizes the danger that they are in, and moves over to wake Yoon as well.

Jirelle steps in and gives one spirit a good couple of smacks with her rapier!
Amiri follows Jirelle with an almighty cleave that leaves nothing but shreds of darkness drifting apart in the air and a hideous screem echoing in your ears.

Red moves in closer to Amiri and attacks again, but misses.
Touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Jirelle steps slightly around the thing, opening up a wee bit of space. 5' step, but not yet enough to flank.

Rapier+flag: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 1 = 21
dmg+precision+flag: 1d6 + 1 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 4 + 1 = 8

"GO TO HELL!" screams Amiri while try to hit hard the thing beyond her.

Atk yellow thing + PA + Flag: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 182d8 + 10 + 6 ⇒ (8, 7) + 10 + 6 = 31

"Wow. Remind me not to make her angry," Jirelle mutters.

... with her diminished Intelligence, she might forget ... :P

The tengu attempts to step up and poke it with his ever-balky wand! It's got positive healing energy, right?

UMD(Activate Wand)(Used Before): 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 = 14

Unfortunately, he's not quite that good. There's a bit of a sigh.

Well, at least there's a chance Amiri can get some slack with me standing here...

Save the charge on the wand.. the thing is dead. Maybe you can return it as defective!!

Jirelle pokes at the Allip causing some damage, but the near insane prowess of the barbarian completely annihilates the unfortunate soul!

Out of Combat!

Two doors left! Up the ramp again or try the door on the other side of the ramp?

So the doors south of our current position is just a staircase to nowhere, right? I vote for Door C before we go back up to Door D.

Rolando approaches Amiri after her fury dies down.

Are you alright? We should head back towards the entrance.

Also voting for Door C, once the party feels ready to move along. And yeah, it's a standard issue PFS Cure Light Wand. Might explain some things on that abbreviation...

Jirelle follows the rest of the party, singing nursery songs to herself.

After explode the creature with her big sword, Amiri stops breathless.

She didn't notice Rolando's approximation and was difficult to her understand his words, maybe because of her fatigue.

"Right, me? Why not? I'm just having a little headache... Back to entrance? From where?", she stays silent a little, trying to remember where she is now...

Ok, can be the door C for me too.

Amiri throws open the door to reveal a set of stone carved stairs rising sharply up. The party follows her up the stairs to reveal an open and rough natural cavern open in the middle. Stalagtites hang from the ceiling and stalagmites reach up from the floor.

Amiri continues her way through the stone carved stairs, trying to look for any hidden dangerous thing.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 - 3 ⇒ (16) + 8 - 3 = 21

Karasuma, likewise, keeps wits sharp and sneaks forward.

Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Perception(+1 for Traps): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Rolando follows as well, looking for signs of danger.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

What does the purple outline mean on Yoon and Karasuma?

We took the magic spear and bag of holding, right? If not, can we retrieve them from the display cases before continuing in this room. And if so, can Rolando hold onto the spear (stowed, not in his hand)? I figure it'll be helpful if we fight any more incorporeals.

Yoon and Karasuma were 'born to Purple'?

Yoon wanders behind a bit, looking at the various shapes and sizes of the stalagtites. "Hey Gom Gom, maybe this looks like the inside of a dragon's mouth?"

Yay, purple!

Perception: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 10 - 2 = 14

Jirelle doesn't see any purple outline...

I have no idea about the outline.. must have been some glitch when I moved all of you over to the stairs.

Stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16

As you move into the room, you see a pair of two headed dinosaur skeletons moving about on the upper ramp. Unfortunately, They appear to be attentive enough to hear Amiri tromping about.

When they hear Amiri and the rest of the party coming up the ramp, the two two-headed dinosaurs come running and meet Amiri near the top of the ramp.

Red Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Blue Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
