Tomb of Horrors (Inactive)

Game Master Michael Riter

I've got one, but approaching doesn't seem to be the best option for me... and Kyton 3 should be nearly dead by now...

Hehehe. Yeah... metagaming it, you need 15 more points of damage (not including the fact that it regenerates) to take it down. In character, you are watching it take those blows, get annoyed and then keep swinging it's chain. Aren't you glad the GLABREZU didn't decide to full attack you 3 times in a row?

Raphael, I love how totally incompetent you're making this devil out to be XD

I have communal align weapon. But given the only person nearby is Suzumaru, who's using magic, I thought my actions would be better spent healing her. I can cast that next round when Hammish is hopefully nearby though.

Also, I love how he keeps trying to guilt me, but I just don't understand what he's saying. Oh tongues curse, I did not foresee you getting used this way.

He's probably just going to start wailing on you... I suppose you all are lucky that the way they columns work, the thing that is summoned immediately disappears once the person that summoned it is dead. I can imagine that fighting a Glabrezu and 3 chain devils would have ended badly, ESPECIALLY with Jean flying in the air like this.

...

And then I would have had to explain via Deus ex Machina how those things were kept under control... or I could have had them slaughter the entire Pathfinder camp.

So do I get to come back as incorporeal? Permanent Gaseous Form?

You come back in your usual form without level loss either in 10 minutes, or when all threats have left the area, whichever is later. This will be variable to make things easier for me to get you guys back on track in case of a TPK.

I was joking.

Sarcasm, I don't get sarcasm.

Boom bam. Get ready guys. The hell fun is about to begin!

So, you said he wasn't a summoned demon right? Meaning killing isn't the same as banishing back to his home plane?

If so, I'm thinking Raphael might not be a huge fan of killing him. But he also can't really communicate with anyone as far as he can tell. Except maybe the demon himself, but he'd prefer not to speak Infernal.

Technically you are on a mix of the Material Plane, Hell, Abbaddon, and the Abyss. If an 'outsider' dies here, it will be as if they died in their own home plane. The benefit to them being here rather than ACTUALLY on their home plane though, is that due to the mixture of planes, they are about as weak as they would be on the Material Plane, not as strong as they would be on their own.

As for not liking the killing... you have no idea what your ally is thinking. In character consequences will be dealt with... in character :3 I'm totally fine with the party having a bit of conflict.

I guess I'm assuming he's drawn an arrow or something then, since I totally reacted to that.

So am I at full hit points when I wake up or what?

Yup!

the funny thing is, you set off the one condition that would have made a demon pop up. Touching it? Okay! Looking at it? Okay! Damaging the pillar? Demons.

Its Maxwell's law.

Harvey, you have no idea how close I was to putting Krune in this for one reason or another...

Ultimately I decided he wasn't scary enough.

Ah, right. If you haven't followed the roll20 link yet, please do so and follow the instructions on the upper left corner of the map.

I was just there. Lots of fog of war. Also I touch nothing.

What's that? You touch the Glowing Orb of DOOM? And you want to pet the tarrasque? And you want to do what with the bottomless pit of death?

SHall we start going south?

Directly to your south is the 'nose' shaped structure. The actual pillars are on a large hill with a sandy bank to one side, and large boulders covering the other. There is no clear entrance to the Tomb. If you want to investigate the sandy side (which I suggest you do) then place yourselves on the roll20 map where you want to start looking. The entire are looks like its pretty sandy and for the most part, the same.

Am I seeing the right map? All I see is featureless beige and then a wall of black. I moved myself one step into the black. I have no idea where things are, but I'd like to head past the ring of fleshy monoliths, towards the nose?

Right, the hill is representative of the sandy hill. I can't show you more on the map since you will see the entrance right away. Place your characters where you want to search and give me a perception check.

I can't really do this at work, but I'd like to move up to the "nose" and search thoroughly.

I will assume you take 20, and after about 30 minutes near the nose (which is at the very top of the hill, not at the sandy bank near the bottom), you don't really see anything that can be taken for as an entrance. In fact the pillars that make up the 'nose' seem exactly like the pillars that you encountered before; fleshy, and still likely to shoot out a demon if you were to harm it.

I wonder how long we can search the nose until the GM gives up and tells us where to go...

Andross points to the sand mound. "HEY!!! OVER THERE LOOKS INTERESTING"

Alright, now all you have to worry about is the map on roll20. Suzumaru, you found what might be a hole in the sand where you put the 's' in roll20. Jean found nothing where he searched. Father Raphael, the nose shows nothing but the SAND MOUND AS REPRESENTED ON THE ROLL20 MAP BY THE BLACK LINE

The arrow on roll20 shows where Suzumaru found the indent.

This is my first time using roll 20. How do I make myself an icon? Or do you need to make one for me. I am really confused.

I made one for you (Gimli the Dwarf). I'll stay on roll20 for a little while if you can log on again and I'll go over the basics for you.

I almost forgot to mention. Just because you don't know what a spell's aura is via detect magic, (same goes with magic items) you CAN make a spellcraft check to figure it out, as long as your character used their senses. For example, if you are walking down the hallway, then get a feeling like you were punched in the gutm you can assume it was an invisible creature... or if you decide to spellcraft it, you can determine if it were magic missile. REALLY bad example, but it's the best I've got off the top of my head.

Yes, Raphael was digging in his own indent.

Also, is there a way to delete stuff you've drawn? I've been trying to draw and arrow for the path Raphael takes, but I seem to be making a mess and it doesn't seem to want to delete. :/

Nevermind. Got it. Also, Raphael has an ioun torch circling about his head, so he counts as a light source. Not sure if roll20 does auto-reveal for that sort of thing with darkness and such or not.

I don't have that turned on (as I'm not a contributor.) I will ASSUME since you all are walking around with a vampire outside, you know its night time and thus need a light source. For those of you relying on the light source, I will leave it up to you to determine what your character can see as I trust you all...

Instead of arrowing the path (since this is a bit intricate) I would prefer if you numbered it whenever you get the chance. This allows me to tell where every character is in any given point of time (Because, again, I assume you all move at the same time out of combat unless you say otherwise)

Hamish? Suzu?

I'll post later tongiht. I'm going to be moving for the next 7 days or so so my posting is going to be more than a bit erratic.

Ah, not a problem.

Suzu, you're a gnome right?

Usually.

Usually.

Good...

My worst fear! Having an evil necromancer cast phantasmal killer at me.

...
And what form would the phantasmal killer take?

Jean's worst fear... he really hates undead, vampires especially, but he's also immune to fear effects and everyone near him gets a +4 to save vs it.

Well, the form of a necromancer casting phantasmal killer! This of course creates a loop of necromancers casting spells over and over again getting us nowhere.

So lets go with Giant blue frogs eating oatmeal at the table! This would terrify Suzumaru nearly to death nearly as much as deathweb.

Mountains of gold.

No seriously.

Hamish is afraid of having it all, having the adventure end, living a life of peace and serenity where there is nothing to do.

F+&~ that noise. Let me post real quick before this muscle relaxer kick in.

Hey guys, I am on a surprise mini vacation, I may not have internet again until Wednesday morning California time. I will post if I can, otherwise bot me!

I will stick with Father Raphael for the most part, and I will most likely provide support and healing. Though if it looks real bad, I would wall of fire to block creatures from getting to us.

Raphael's worst fear is probably being abandoned by Sarenrae. Probably due to failing her somehow. If you want a more concrete fear, I could probably try to make something up.

I'm going to be sadly unavailable for the next 5 days. Tommorrow I have to get as much of the apartment moved as possible as the net three days will involve hours and hours of cleaning.

Not a problem. Guys, how would you all feel about taking a short break from this game until we are all back? I will do a roll call five days from now.

Thats fine.

I'm cool.
