STRANGE AEONS (Inactive)

Game Master Daniel Penfold 351

Between Bitey, Trevor and Domeric one of the polyps falls, as it does so the whirlwind disappears.

Penith throws a rock at the remaining polyp but it easily manages to dodge out of the way.

Senn and Atajay, your actions.

Atajay falls to the ground, gathers himself and pulls his bow, ready to fire away next round.

Senn will delay.

The remaining Polyp attacks Penith again.

tentacle: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 36

damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Back to you guys

Penith cries out as the Polyp's tendrils slam into her. Her force shield takes most of it though, making her feel a little foolish at the embarrassing scream.
14 points to the force ward, 1 to her

The rock she returns smashes rather well into its gross flesh.

tk blast, steadied shot, pbp: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 20 + 3 = 37
damage: 7d6 + 14 + 1d8 + 3 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 4, 5, 2, 4, 6) + 14 + (7) + 3 + (2) = 58

Trevor starts bashing

Hammer,PA,Haste,Inspire: 1d20 + 19 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 19 + 1 + 3 = 302d6 + 23 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1) + 23 + 3 = 29

Penith's rock and Trevor's hammer deal a series of significant blows to the remaining polyp. It is still there but only just.

Anyone else?

Ya wanna give up?

Bitey pounces trying to take the creature down.

Bite: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30

Bitey dives down and finishes off the remaining polyp. Kaklatath says,

" To complete the ritual, we now need to finish off the husk of Xhamen-Dor. Be warned this fight will be very difficult, after all you will be dealing with an aspect of an Elder God."

Knowledge check on what try of powers and defences this god may have?

I take it you mean we should have a good nap.

"I could use a rest, if we've going to fight a god next, yes..."

Knowledge religion

Know. Religion 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

"Elder means he's old, doesn't it? So with thin arms, runs out of breath easy, but still scary, and mean, and smells like..." Penith's fear of old people comes back out as she starts rattling on about their evils, but the point is that she is trying to make is the old people are generally physically weaker.

Religion Aid: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

"Let's find a place to rest up. We will need our full strength."

You recall that Xhamen-Dor is an elder god and therefore likely to have spell resistance but unfortunately you are unable to recall anything else.

We're really screwed, aren't we?

"If we die I would like to do so on a full belly and with some good rest."

So, how will we do this? Hit it with really big rocks? Can Penith yank the moon down on it?

After resting overnight you arrive at a large lake with a columned area, a large area of fungus appears to be carpeted over the area.

There isn't a map for this so have had to borrow one from another game

Can everyone make a Will 27 save please

Will 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21 +1 v charms and compulsions

Will save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

Will Bitey: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Will: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

Atajay, Penith, Bitey and Domeric you all lose your dex bonus to AC against the client's melee attacks.

Domeric initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Senn initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Penith initiative: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Trevor initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Atajay initiative: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

Husk of Xhamen Dor initiative: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Initiative order:
Block 1: Domeric and Atajay
Block 2: Husk of Xhamen Dor
Block 3: Trevor, Penith and Senn
So Block 1, your actions

The archer casts Divine Power, activates his judgement ability as a swift action, and finally activates his Weapon Bane ability.

Oh man, I think this calls for a moon drop.

Domeric, your action.

Domeric, over to you.

The husk moves across the area at a run towards you.

Block 3, your actions

With a shakey will, Penith moves as far away from the creature as she cans and throws her sharpest rock.

tk blast, steadied shot, pbp: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (9) + 20 = 29
damage: 7d6 + 14 + 1d8 ⇒ (6, 1, 3, 4, 4, 6, 3) + 14 + (2) = 43

Dom casts haste and starts his song!

Dom says, "Let's kill a godling."

Senn tries to catch the creature with chains of light (DC 27 Ref).

"I will be dropping all my bigs spells on this thing. I'm not ready to die."

Bite: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34
Damage: 1d6 + 16 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 16 + (3) + 2 = 24

Bite: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (13) + 20 = 33

Damage: 1d4 + 16 + 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 16 + (4) + 2 = 26

Trevor is freaking out. How do we fight this thing? He decides to bash as hard as possible.

Using pugnacious to increase weapon size for 1 round
+1 Hit from haste +3 Hit/Damage from song I believe

Earthbreaker,PA,Furious Focus,Haste,Inspire: 1d20 + 24 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 24 + 1 + 3 = 392d8 + 23 + 3 ⇒ (4, 7) + 23 + 3 = 37

Earthbreaker,PA,Furious Focus,Haste,Inspire: 1d20 + 18 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 18 + 1 + 3 = 282d8 + 23 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4) + 23 + 3 = 33

If Aberration, add +2 to hit and +2d6 each attack

Bane damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5
Bane damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10
Bane damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8
Bane damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10

"Ya know how they say God is dead... Well, they're about to be right!"

For his upcoming turn, Domeric will shine a Beacon of Luck upon these unlucky souls.

Domeric gets a +2 luck bonus to saves, additionally, everyone within 30 feet, which I think is everyone, may as an immediate action roll twice on any one upcoming saving throw and take the better result.

Domeric's song continues to grant +3 to hit and damage, +1d6 sonic damage per attack.

Haste bonuses continue

Penith's rock bounces off the creature's hide with no effect.

Bitey and Trevor hits the creature but not all of the damage gets through.

Block 1, back to you

Atajay let’s four arrows go at the creature.

2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3 Bane Damage

To clarify, my actions for this round were the ones I just posted above

Several of Atajay's arrows hit the creature but not all of the damage gets through.

The husk tries to break free of the chains but fails.

reflex save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Block 3, back to you.

Penith makes a sound of relieved glee at the chains holding the creature as she pelts it with her rocks.

Trevor keeps doing what he does best

The creature is paralyzed so someone with a big stick can coup de grace

Thank god for paralysis some of the above attacks might even hit.

Senn will cast harm (Will save DC 25. 140 damage on a fail 70 on a pass.)

Sorry for my absence, busy schedule at work

Although it manages to deflect Penith's rock, Trevor's hammer finishes the creature off. With a massive final roar the creature dissolves into sludge and then fades away into nothingness.

"Huh. Puny god."
