Ghosting Fazgyn

Fazgyn takes out a vial of giant wasp poison and applies it to an arrow.

Shadrixis flies with amazing skill through the black orb and down again (avoiding triggering any attacks of opportunity).

Then he attacks Varanog

To Hit: 1d20 ⇒ 20 Might hit
Image: 1d6 ⇒ 5 Kills an image

You're all up!

Does the orb seem to do anything?

Engashez starts Inspire Courage and draws her sword. If possible, I try to setup a flank.

Setting up a flank might be difficult as the dragon is flying around the perimeter of the tower.

is the dark edge of the tower walkable?

is the dark edge of the tower walkable?

The dark edge might be walkable, but is 35 foot lower than the top of the tower.

Perception, Heroism: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Don't let it go through the shadowy orb. It closes its burns!

How big was the area of its breath weapon? And where did it breathe from? I wanna take these things into account for positioning.

EDIT: looking at the picture on email, is that a 25ft cone? That's a really odd shape.

See the screenshots in your mail

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Vanarog seeing one of his images pop decides to take a step back and unleash the mightiest of magics once more, while trying to prevent the dragon from having easy access to the black orb.

To hit touch AC dragon: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 1 = 18 (inspire)
Fire damage if hit: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 4, 5, 1) + 1 = 17

Ghosting Fazgyn

Fazgyn takes out a vial of giant wasp poison and applies it to an arrow.

Do you mind if I apply it to my sword instead? Without sneak attack the 1d4-1 bow is pretty useless, I already had my sword in hand, and switching between bow and sword ever round takes far too many actions.

Is the dark orb pure blackness or does it appear to have any material parts/anchor?

I move to the to right corner of the orb and ready a rapier prick with power attack to intercept the dragon whelp.

rapier, powe rat, inspire: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
damage: 1d4 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

No problem! I just wanted to do something more useful than shooting a bow. Bolts=Arrows IMHO regarding character sheet BTW.

No visible material anchors present. It seems more like someone carelessly pricked a hole between the shadow and negative plane.

[dice=To hit touch AC dragon]1d20+5+1 (inspire)
[dice=Fire damage if hit]4d6+1

Varanog hits the dragon with another fiery ray

"if you strike me down i shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine" the whelpling cries out!

"if you strike me down i shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine" the whelpling cries out!

Ha! That won't be difficult, dishonorable Fakeblood!

I ready; if it comes within 5ft step range I'll move to it and attack with my sword. (If it tries to fly on I get an AoO.)

If there's any choice in direction, I prefer to step towards the orb, particularly its horizontal and vertical sides, not the corners. Further I have a slight preference for going northward.

I'll generally keep repeating this pattern round after round; in this way I can cover much of the area around the orb and deny it totally free healing. Given this pregen's build, that's about the most useful contribution I can make in this fight.

"Skyrakh! Step closer to the orb! Don't let the dragon past! And clear a line of fire for Athrax!"

I gesture at the space one step directly north from Skyrakh.

Ghosting Athrax

Bomb: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 16

Damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5) + 3 = 9

"Yip!"

Skyrahk darts to a location closer to the orb. Then the spiritual weapon follows the dragon and slashes again.

Spiritual weapon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
DMG: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"Die!"

The dragon breathes unholy energy again! Negative Energy: 2d8 ⇒ (7, 7) = 14

Will DC 14 for half
Pethjun: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Athrax: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Varanog: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

He flies through the orb and hovers above it.

NE: 1d4 ⇒ 4

"You snaggy little bastards! You want the scale? You can't handle the scale!"

He lets go of the scale which drops into the black orb.

Looks like my readied action is triggered by his location.

To Hit, Inspire: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
Damage, Inspire: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Since I hadn't drawn a second sword, is there any chance I can catch the scale with my other hand?

And/Or: since my readied action would come before his dropping the scale, and might kill him, prevent him from aiming it entirely?

Looks like my readied action is triggered by his location.

He is flying, so out of reach

The negative energy portal closes with a violent sonic boom!

sonic damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 5) = 11

DC 20 reflex for half

Athrax: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 fails, takes 11
Fazgyn: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 saves, takes none
Varanog: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 fails, takes 11
Skyrahk: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 saves, takes 5
Pethjun: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 fails takes 11
Engashez: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 fails takes 11
Shardixis: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 saves, takes 5

Everyone also feels your connection to the portal through which you came is gone. Seems that destroying the scale closed it as well.

"Oops! Oh, I think I hear my mother calling. Sorry guys, playtime is over, got to go!"

drops rapier and draws a spear

AAARGGHHH
Chucks a spear at the whelping hoping for a critical

spear, inspire,: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Vanarog falls over at the violent sonic boom

(14+11 = 25 > 20)

Vanarog falls over at the violent sonic boom

Oh, that reminds me! Everyone that failed their save is knocked prone

Fazgyn stands unscratched, looking at people around him keeling over.

"Sooo typical..."

With that he moves over to Varanog and draws his last Cure Moderate potion. Will forcefeed it to him next round (unless he dies before then).

"Guys, looks like this shindig got someone's attention. Gather up that hoard over there, there might be something worthwhile in it. We wanna be done here before mommy comes calling."

To be clear:
The Blast is Sonic, which gives me a +4 to the save, which means I should make it.
Die rolled by Auke, reflex, Heroism, Well-Versed = 10 + 6 + 2 + 4 = 22
Am I correct?

Sense Motive, Heroism: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

If the dragon can still be reached with a move action + short range spell 35ft), Engashez throws a lemon tart to the dragons face.
=> The desillusioned Engashez casts Hideous Laughter DC14 with tears in her eyes, in the hope that the dragon crashes to his death on the ground.

Your mother may be a wyrm, but your father was clearly a worm!

Ah, sure apply the +4 bonus!

Will: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 4 = 16

Too bad he gets a +4 bonus too...

"Funny. I'll tell him what you said and we'll see who'll laugh then!"

When the dragon is gone, Engashez starts moping and hands out a Potion of Cure Light Wounds without really paying attention to whom.

Cure Moderate: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (8, 7) + 3 = 18 (Varanog, live!)

"C'mon 'Gash, let's punish this weakling wyrmling by taking its hoard!"

With that Fazgyn's gonna poke around in it to detect any final traps/treasures.

Perception, Trapfinding: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

I REALLY WANTED TO BEAT HIM! screeches pethjun.
DATTIT "*&%**$ TRUE TRUE BLOOD WHELPING, It's such a coward!
Maybe there is an interesting shiny in it's horde that we can use to lure it back...

The horde contains 13,338 cp, 3,219 sp, 95 gp, and 12 pp, as well as an onyx gem worth 80 gp. There are also a few minor magic items buried within the coins: a traveler’s any-tool, a black velvet pouch filled with dust of emulation, and an aegis of recovery.

The unique portal at the city’s heart provides a simple method of escape; anyone walking through the portal immediately find themselves back at their original point of entry (in your case: the sewer portal in the Material Plane). The citizens of Shadow Absalom are used to directing lost outsiders to the portal at the center of the city, and you can find someone willing to give you directions without much difficulty.

When you emerge from the sewer portal, a great gathering of Sewer Dragons led by chief Yiddlepode celebrates your triumphant return. A contingent of Pathfinders led by Drandle Dreng stands to the side, having just prepared to enter the breach themselves. The mutant otyugh Hats is also present, enthusiastically clapping his tentacles, knocking a beaten derby against a tricorne hat in the process. The assembled group celebrates as the portal closes.

Yiddlepode personally congratulates you on a job well done, followed by a brief thanks from Drandle Dreng, who is eager to debrief you and hear tales of exploits in the Shadow Plane. Once you finish telling their tales, he bestows upon each of you an honorary field commission, and promises them future missions for the Pathfinder Society as full and respected members, if you are interested.

Skyrahk parties like there is no tomorrow. :)

I've heard the Society runs into Zyphus cultists now and then. We should talk shop.

Engashez has not reached the Acceptance stadium yet and is still sulking and in no mood for a party. She politely answers the chief's and the human's questions, but her mind seems to be elsewhere.
During a later stage, she would probably contact Drendle Dreng to apply.

" ..more power! The Master of Magics requiresss it!"

Vanarog will accept the field commission and will go on future missions if they get us the same ammount of loot at this one ..it's almost worth almost dying over

Vanarog also claims the Aegis of Recovery..because of reasons

Pethjun fumes in frustration at the whelpling getting away and publically swears vengeance. She will not stop pursuing this prey for the rest of her life!...unless the chief demands her to do otherwise.

If the pathfinders can help her get her revenge, she will tentatively work together with them on missions.

ALso...how do we get our reward sheets? mail, or will we recieve them next time we see you?

"So we get shiny compass now? And Hats get hats?"

ALso...how do we get our reward sheets? mail, or will we recieve them next time we see you?

I will send a digital copy to everyone. If you want a physical one, ask me next time we meet!

Even ter controle om te voorkomen dat ik het gemist heb, maar de digitale copy is nog niet verstuurd toch? Alleen een leeg voorbeeld?

Klopt, komt er nog aan! (vanavond even scannen!)
