STRANGE AEONS (Inactive)

Game Master Daniel Penfold 351

Will save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Will 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16 +1 vs. charms and compulsions.

"It is a nice pillar, well made, good bones."

will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

15, 16, 17!! we are in such trouble.

Ia! Ia! Fthgn!

Bitey, Atajay, Penith and Trevor you all see something you desire in the far side of the cavern, near the star stelae.

Will: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

"Where are you going Bitey? Stay!"

Animal Handleing : 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Senn uses handle animal to keep Bitey in line.

Atajay decides he must go to the Star stelae and figure out what is causing his desire to be so great. He walks over there quickly. Whats the worst that could happen, he thinks.

Trevor heads over If it is treasure, then I can retire in two days and buy a boat!

Nooooo. Two days before retirement? I'm pairing you up with this loose cannon. One wrong move and you are off the force.

"But there are... ROCKS! All kinds, pretty ones too." Penith pratically gushes about the rocks and hurries over before Trevor and Atajay take them all.

Senn you manage to control Bitey and he stays where he is.

At this point a large creature covered in tentacles appears from the pool of water, at the same time two large sea plants, looking like seaweed also appear and attack.

Knowledge religion or knowledge nature from those unaffected.

slam on Trevor: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33

damage: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (6, 6) + 7 = 19

slam on Penith: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

damage: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (2, 7) + 7 = 16

claw on Atajay: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 6) + 7 = 15

Religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

”Seaweed... doesn’t usually do that, does it?”

"Nope. We might need to kill it. It could be a haunt, maybe an illusion."

If it is an aberration, add +2d6 damage

Trevor freaks out that he might lose his boat and smashes at the tentacled nasty

Hammer,PA,Furious Focus: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (20) + 23 = 432d6 + 23 ⇒ (6, 6) + 23 = 35

Hammer,PA,Furious Focus: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 302d6 + 23 ⇒ (1, 5) + 23 = 29

Hammer,PA,Furious Focus: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 262d6 + 23 ⇒ (5, 2) + 23 = 30

Crit check: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (8) + 23 = 314d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 1, 5) = 12

Penith is rather confused, but tentacles are not pretty rocks, that she knows so she backs up and throws one at them.

attak, be, pb: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 1 + 4 = 22
damage: 7d6 + 14 + 1 + 1d8 ⇒ (5, 2, 3, 4, 1, 4, 6) + 14 + 1 + (5) = 45

Are we ensorcelled, or can we fight back and defend ourselves?

Apologies i forgot that the creatures have grab. Once you are attacked you are no longer affected

grab on Trevor: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (15) + 25 = 40

grab on Atajay: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33

grab on Penith: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (18) + 25 = 43

The creatures grab all 3 of you. Senn you recognise the creature attacking Atajay as a Chuul, however it has been affected by the seeded nature of the area. It has damage reduction against bludgeoning or slashing, is immune to poison, has cold and electricity resistance

We'll go to initiative at this point but Trevor and Penith I will keep your attacks for your turn.
Atajay initiative: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Penith initiative: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Trevor initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Domeric initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Senn initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
seaweed initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
chuul initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
So initiative order is
Block 1: Atajay, Domeric, Trevor and Penith
Block 2: Seaweed and Chuul
Block 3: Senn
So block 1 your actions

Domeric begins his song and moves up, before casting glitterdust so as to blind the three enemies without hitting his allies.

+3 to hit and damage for everyone, enemies must make a DC 18 will save to avoid blindness

Atajay pulls his magic Shortsword and swings at the grasping chuul.

Attack with IC 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30
Damage 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Attack 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Damage 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Trevor keeps bashing with his Earthbreaker
Earthbreaker,Inspire: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (8) + 26 = 342d6 + 26 ⇒ (3, 4) + 26 = 33
Earthbreaker,Inspire: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 20 = 212d6 + 26 ⇒ (1, 4) + 26 = 31
Earthbreaker,Inspire: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 342d6 + 26 ⇒ (6, 6) + 26 = 38

Sorry about that, feeling better now, not 100% but better than I was

sargassum fiend will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

sargassum fiend will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

chuul will save: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

The plant holding Penith is blinded, the other two creatures manage to shake off the effects of the spell.

The other creature attempts to grapple Trevor further in order to constrict. The chuul tries to do the same to Atajay.

grapple on Trevor: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (2) + 25 = 27

constrict damage: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 8) + 10 = 20

grapple on Atajay: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21

constrict damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 6) + 7 = 18

Block 3, your actions

Senn moves into the room but Senn sends Bitey pouncing.

Bite: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33
Damage: 1d6 + 16 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 16 + (3) = 23

Talon: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37
Damage: 1d6 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + (4) = 16

Talon: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27
Damage: 1d4 + 16 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 16 + (2) = 20

Claw: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28

Claw: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20
Damage: 1d4 + 16 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 16 + (4) = 21

Bitey moves across and tears and claws the fiend holding Trevor, tearing it to pieces

Block 1, back to you.

Penith does not like being grabbed by this grabby thing. Even blind it is rather scary. Happily there are plenty of things about for her to mentally pick up and smash it with.

attak, be, pb, ic: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 15 + 1 + 4 + 3 = 37
damage: 7d6 + 14 + 1 + 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 2, 5, 2, 2, 2, 3) + 14 + 1 + (6) + 3 = 45

Trevor just goes after anything within smashing reach that isn't one of his group

Hammer: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (6) + 26 = 322d6 + 26 ⇒ (2, 4) + 26 = 32
Hammer: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (16) + 20 = 362d6 + 26 ⇒ (2, 2) + 26 = 30
Hammer: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 202d6 + 26 ⇒ (6, 5) + 26 = 37

Atajay holds his action, waiting to see if the monster grappling him was destroyed from the attacks of his friends.

Domeric too will pause to see which creatures survive the attacks.

Penith's rock smashes into the second sargassum fiend before Trevor smashes his hammer into it several times, destroying it. Only the chuul holding Atajay remains

Atajay and Domeric, do you want to take your delayed actions?

Atajay keeps hacking away with his magic Shortsword and swings at the grasping chuul.

Attack with IC 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21
Damage 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Attack 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
Damage 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Domeric casts Ear-Piercing Scream to help finish off the Chuul.

Sonic Damage: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 6, 6, 4) = 24

DC 17 fort save to avoid being dazed for 1 round. Everyone continues to get inspired courage bonus

Atajay swings at the chuul, it manages to dodge out of his way initially but he catches it on the backswing.

The chuul manages to shake off the effects of Domeric's spell and some of its wounds heal up. It then attacks Atajay.

fort save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

claw: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (19) + 22 = 41

damage: 2d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 2) + 9 = 14

can you make a Fort 24 save please

Senn, your action

Fort 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Bitey attacks the creature as Bitey continues its war path.
Bite: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36

Duration: 1d4 ⇒ 2

charisma damage to Atajay: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Bitey tears into the chuul, doing a significant amount of damage, but the chuul is still there.

Senn's spell goes off and the creature is dazzled.

reflex save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Block 1, back to you.

Trevor starts whamming the Chull

Hammer: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (20) + 26 = 462d6 + 26 ⇒ (2, 4) + 26 = 32
Hammer: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (13) + 20 = 332d6 + 26 ⇒ (5, 5) + 26 = 36
Hammer: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 362d6 + 26 ⇒ (3, 6) + 26 = 35
Confirm: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (19) + 26 = 454d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 6, 5) = 18

Penny breaths in relief when her seaweed monster lets her go. "Let go of him!" she shouts at the remaining one holding Atajay.

attak, be, pb, ic: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 15 + 1 + 4 + 3 = 38
damage: 7d6 + 14 + 1 + 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 6, 2, 5, 5, 3, 4) + 14 + 1 + (8) + 3 = 56

Boy, do numbers get big at these levels.

With a series of blows of his hammer, Trevor pounds the chuul into mush. As it dies it explodes in a cloud of spores.

Trevor can you make a Fort 24 save please?

This appears to be the second star stelae so you will need to attune it.

Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Trevor, you manage to shake off the effect of the spores.

To attune you will need Knowledge dungeoneering, Knowledge arcana and spellcraft check

Arcana: 10 + 22 = 32

Senn pulls out some hastily written notes from the last time and begins a similar process.

Know. Dungeoneering 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34
Aid another Arcana 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Trevor tries to measure the rogue angels of time
Know-DUngeoneering: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Have we got the spell craft check too?

I think our group doesn’t have Spellcraft if I remember right, GM?

That is correct we had to handwave it last time as well. I think we should get whoever has the highest int, one of the +2 int ioun stone keyed into spellcraft at the next optunity.
