Clara is glad she speaks Osirioni while George double moves to get to a tentacle.

Payj begins summoning.

Clara is glad she speaks Osirioni while George double moves to get to a tentacle.

Unsurprisingly, the order was to attack!

Azimuth!

Azimith moves up to the next feasible line of cover, then looses a Shuriken at one of the stalks holding the Osiriani girl.

Shuriken: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Damage: 2d3 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3) + 4 = 9

The shuriken hits, and it breaks through one of the cords. She appears to reel in pain from the severing!

The zombie seems to move faster than Clara would expect, and attacks George as he gets close to the woman!
slam 1: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

slam 2: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 2 = 19
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
George gets slammed for 16 points total (I think that's it for him, yes?)

Clara, Lore, Vayu up!

Vayu moves to within range and unleashes hell! (or at least a loud bang) Targeting the tentacle creature, not the woman ...

Ranged touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Confirm, Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1d8 + 2 + 1d8 + 2 + 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (6) + 2 + (2) + 2 + (2) + 2 = 20

+ 1 grit spent for Extra Damage, Up Close and Deadly: 1d6 ⇒ 6 - Half of this even if a miss

Whoops ... I have an extra 1d8+2 damage in there ...

It's not a creature, per se, but Vayu can target the fleshy umbilical cords connecting the woman to the archway. However, before you do, her readied action goes off...

Vayu steps forward and is about to shoot his pistol when the woman gives an unnerving smile and takes a step forward, as a prismatic spectrum of light leaps forth from her wand! George ignores its effect, but the gunslinger needs to make a DC 11 Will save or taste the rainbow!

Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Vayu grits his teeth and grimaces through the barrage of color as he sights down on the creature ...

That'll do it. LOL

Vayu lets the color wash over him, then fires. The shot breaks another of the cords. It appears to cause her pain again!

Clara, Lore!

Clara again channels negative energy!

DC 15 Will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
The zombie ignores Clara's beckoning again.

Lore!

Lore watches Clara fail to tame the zombie.

"Most willful zombie in the world there, huh Clara?"

Activate Rage powers!

"He killed George! He can't join our party!"

He lifts his halberd and charges the zombie-killing zombie. On his journey he can't help but wonder if George felt betrayed by his undead brother.

Charge Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 - 1 = 7
Damage: 1d10 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 3 = 18

Hope that works. Rockin' a whoppping 11 AC right now.

Wow. Guess I'll be seein' George soon.

Lore: have a reroll?

Both? I'll put up both in case you want both.

Charge Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 7 - 1 = 14
Damage: 1d10 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 3 = 20

This reroll must happen before the original result is determined and the player must use the reroll result, even if it is lower.

If a player is using a physical copy (not a PDF, printout, or photocopy) of the Pathfinder RPG Player Character Folio, he receives a free reroll. No player may receive more than one free reroll per session.

Additionally, when a player uses a free reroll, she may present her Pathfinder Society membership card and receive an additional +1 for every GM star she has earned, for a maximum of a +5.

FYI: when I GM, I always have a Folio that I donate to the table. If Lore doesn't have a reroll item, consider my Folio donated to the cause.

Lore gets angry. Very angry.
You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
The zombie certainly doesn't, as the barbarian's halberd cuts the undead nasty completely in twain!

The woman who should've gone before Vayu due to her readied action, but eff it, too late now), casts a spell...

melee touch attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 plus DC 14 Fort save to avoid losing 1 pt of STR!

She then moves back on the dais, her pupils still black and her face contorted into a wicked grin.

Ah, I see. No, I don't have anything like that. First time doing anything PFS related. Thanks for the save :)

As he charges, a feeling of eminent failure rushes over Lore, but it passes and he strikes true. Weird. The death of George must have shaken him. He will not cry.

Fort save vs DC14: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

He flails his arms about trying to fend off the scary woman's advances but fails. Her hand merely brushes his right shoulder but brings intense pain quickly replaced by freezing cold. He adjust his grip and stance to apply more strength to his swings with his left side.

"I don't even know you lady. Back off!"

A celestial dog appears right behind the woman and attacks one of the tentacles, using its smite.

Dog bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

If that hits 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Retcon ... I had a post where Vayu shot ... but I have a build mistake! He's spending this round loading! I think I intended to have paper cartriges, but then couldn't afford!

Vayu, steps back while he reloads!

Also Payj begins summoning again

1d20 ⇒ 8
1d20 ⇒ 14

Damage: 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Azimuth throws two shurikens in a hurry, aiming for a more tentacles.

No worries, not going back in time for that either. (Cos timey-wimey stuff is confusing, doncha know.) ;-) Just be sure to catch it next time.

Payj's celestial canine appears and attacks, but its maw slides off an invisible field surrounding her! Undaunted, the wizard begins to summon again!

Azimuth flings two more shurikens, but neither finds an effective target this time!

Vayu steps back while he reloads!

Clara, Lore!

i caught it and changed the post so we're good in this combat, may have got an extra shot off earlier in the module, but if I remember right I have not hit anything yet!

Clara takes a moment of silence to mourn the loss of George. "He served us well, and he will be missed"

"I am pretty sure the tentacles from the portal have something to do with this mess we find ourselves in. My Aunt Hentai always warned me about such things, but I never really believed her until now."

Clara moves around the woman, giving her a large berth, while looking for any way to close a portal, or anything else out of the ordinary.

Casting Detect Magic, and looking for a switch clearly labeled as "Off"

Aunt Hentai made me actually LOL.

Lore!

Lore shakes off the woman's cold advances and charges one of the tentacles.

Charge Power Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 - 1 = 9
Damage: 1d10 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 3 = 18

Is there anything Lore can notice about the arch without a perception check from this distance? Does the arch look cracked/destructible? How high up the cylinder is? How it's attached to the arch?

Clara will move behind the woman, careful to avoid stepping on any tentacles, and continue to focus on the items radiating magical auras.

Lore: the cylinder is at the very apex of the arch, which is 15 feet high and made of a strange, glowing, blue-green stone. You can't really see how it's attached without getting closer.

Lore charges (and provokes)! But the half-elf does not connect!
AoO touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
negative energy damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2 plus another DC 14 Fort save to avoid losing 1 pt of STR!

I think, with Lore raging AND charging, that might actually hit!

The woman speaks again...

melee touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
negative energy damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1 plus another DC 14 Fort save to avoid losing 1 pt of STR!

The Celestial Dog attacks the tentacles again (I have 1 more round with him)
Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Bite Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 (If it's evil, otherwise it's 7)

I'm going to use Knowledge Arcana on that Cylinder if I can
Know Arcana: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

If I think it will help, the Celestial Eagle appears in next to the glowing, blue-green Cylinder and full attack.

Talon 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Talon 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

If I can't attack the cylinder just have the eagle flanking with the dog and attacking the tentacles.

Boy that was painful

The bite might hit: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Vayu ... having finally reloaded steps forward and fires ...

If there are any tentacles left when it's his turn
Then he shoots at a tentacle
Else
He call's out, "Should I destroy the cylinder!?" ... and baring objection blasts it ...

in either case ...

Ranged touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

+ 1 grit spent for Extra Damage, Up Close and Deadly: 1d6 ⇒ 6 Half of this even if a miss

Payj's canine celestial summons takes another tentacle off!
Vayu's shot does the same!
The eagle, not so much!

Payj doesn't see anything remarkable about the cylinder. However, if she gets closer she can make a Kn (planes) check on the material of which the archway is constructed.

Azimuth, Clara, Lore !

How many more tentacles are there?

Should be down to one, Vayu. But barbarian's aren't good at math.

Fort save one: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Fort save two: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

This was starting to hurt. Lore was getting a creeping feeling that she wasn't friendly.

"I'm thinkin' the cylinder came from the box maybe?! She activated this....thing! Her and Nigel!"

Clara continues to move to the magical cylinder, studying it further (round 3 of study on the aura).

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Damage: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Azimuth moves out from his spot and makes for the last tentacle, swinging at it with his 3-section staff!

Should be down to one, Vayu. But barbarian's aren't good at math.

Indeed, one remains.

Azimuth moves up and attacks, but cannot hit the remaining fungoid umbilicle!

Clara concentrates on the cylinder...

Lore still has an action (besides losing points of Strength, I mean)!

The Cylinder! It is commanding her! Look for any connection to her from the darned thing, and kill it!"

Ooooh, I hope this works.

Lore swings at the last tentacle.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Moved Lore up to allow him to do that.

Also, she should've gotten an AoO on Azimuth...
AoO melee touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
negative energy damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1 plus a DC 14 Fort save to avoid losing 1 pt of STR!
...LOL, serves me right for breaking my own rule about a retcon. :-D

Lore's halberd (which is not a reach weapon but it should be cos it's a freaking five foot spear with an axe head mounted on it okay I'll get off my soapbox now) shatters the last fungoid umbilicle!

The woman reels, but recovers quickly enough, and responds in kind by using another charge from her wand of color spray! DC 11 Will save from Azimuth and Lore!

Party up!

"I am sorry pretty lady, but that hurts!" Clara announces to the woman, in Osirioni before casting Ray of Enfeeblement.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 DC 16 Fort, Str. Damage, save for half

Vayu steps back to reload muttering, "Take point blank shot they told me ... no one studies rapid reload ... point blank shot my ass ...."

Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Seeing that severing the fungoids didn't work, Azimuth swings hard at the cylinder, his 3-section staff a-flurry!

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
1d10 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
1d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Payj steps forward.

know planes: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

You know nothing Payton Jo

She commands her eagle to attack the stone and the dog with his last round to attempt to trip the woman.

Provokes an AoO from the woman

Trip: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Eagle Full Attack
Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Talon 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Talon 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Damage Bite: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Talon 1 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Taon 2 Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

"Didn't work."

will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Lore stumbles away from the wash of color, rubbing his eyes.

"I won't let you hurt me anymore, lady. Hit someone else"

He draws a shortspear.

Payj sends the eagle in against the arch! It strikes the arch with each attack but seems to have no visible effect! Meanwhile, the dog tries but fails to trip her, then vanishes with its celestial Milk-Bone dog biscuit!

Azimuth shrugs off the effects of the color spray and his attacks hit the cylinder twice, but neither can seem to penetrate its hardness!

DC 16 Fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
The woman shakes off half the Strength damage, but is clearly affected by Clara's spell!

Lore, like Azimuth, is unaffected by the color spray. He withdraws, drawing his shortspear along the way.

Vayu reloads!

The woman waves her hands...
DC 17 concentration check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
...and reaches out to touch Azimuth!

melee touch attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 1 = 17
shocking grasp dmg: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 5) = 10
The aasimar feels the electricity course through him, though he is able to ignore some of it!

Frustrated that her spell had less effect than she had hoped, she five-foot-steps and draws a rapier!

Party up!

"We might need to take her down! Can anyone do it without killing her ... which I might add IS an option!"

Vayu tries his luck against the cylinder moving up to fire.

Ranged touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

+ 1 grit spent for Extra Damage, Up Close and Deadly: 1d6 ⇒ 4Half of this even if a miss

"Bah!"

"Maybe we can sever the link to the canister? Try the tentacle!"

Clara aims an acid splash at the tentacle connected to the cylinder.
To Hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17 v touch AC.
Damage (if hit): 1d3 ⇒ 3

No more umbilicles attached to her. You can target the canister if you prefer, though.

Sure
