STRANGE AEONS (Inactive)

Game Master Daniel Penfold 351

"How? It's a spell, isn't it. I understand locks and triggers, but magic..." Penith shurgs.

No trapfinding, means she can't disarm magical traps, right?

"I can throw something at it and set it off maybe?"

Yeah Penith can't disable magical traps

Time to invest in some traits that allow that

I should have done that last level up, sorry all :( I can drop toughness if you'd allow a recon.

Otherwise, can she try and deface the glyph by smashing it with rocks? like below

Penith tries picking up something heavy with her mind and smashing/scraping/triggering the glyph.

I'll allow you to retcon this once

Senn has trap finder. I was just trying to avoid putting the healer up front.

"I can handle it. Or get myself blown up. Let's see."

Disable Device : 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 2 = 20 guidance + auto aid familiar.

Senn, you are able to disable the glyph, you can now all head further into the room.

As you finish disabling the trap a woman steps out of the shadows accompanied by a strange creature whose features combine those of a carrion bird, an ant, a bat and a decomposing human

Knowledge dungeoneering on the creature

The woman speaks:

"If you think your condition means you're important, you're wrong. You are nothing! You are an ember floating from some putrid bonfire that will also wink out in the cold death of the universe. We are all worthless before the Unspeakable One! Even if he has marked you, I am the one who will open this world to him-not Lowls and not you. You will not take my place- you will die! The King in Yellow is coming!"

Senn initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Penith initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Trevor initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Atajay initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Domeric initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Byakhee initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Melisen initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

So initiative order is:

Block 1: Atajay, Trevor and Domeric

Block 2: Byakhee

Block 3: Penith

Block 4: Melisen

Block 5: Senn

So block 1, over to you.

Know. Dungeoneering 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

The Inquisitor moves to within 40’ and fires two shots from his bow at the strange creature

Rapid Attack with PBS and Precise with Deadly Aim 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 14
Silver arrow Damage 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 + 4 - 1 = 12

Rapid Attack with PBS and Precise with Deadly Aim 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 16
Damage 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 + 4 - 1 = 13

Which map are we on now?

Between g10 and g11 I think.

Trevor moves to stand before Atajay and readies an attack if the flappy thing approaches

Hammer,PA,Mutagen: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 262d6 + 16 ⇒ (3, 5) + 16 = 24

Domeric draws his starknives and begins his performance.

+2 to hit and damage for all allies

Map now updated

Atajay, you recognise the creature as a byakhee. You cannot recall anything else about it.

It then tries to claw at Trevor

claw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Penith, your action

Right now she's not charged up, full round action to do so, so ignoring that at the moment.

"We're NOT trying to take anyone's PLACE!" and then throws something heavy at her.

attack kinetic blast, pbs with precise shot: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 = 27
damage kinetic blast, pbs: 3d6 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1, 4, 1) + 8 + 1 = 15

Bits of rubble fly across the room striking the woman.

The woman moves forward and casts a spell at Penith

Will 18 please - if you fail you suffer with terrible remorse - you do yourself 1d8 + str in damage per round unless you make the save, if you make the save you are staggered for 1 round

Senn, your action

will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 YES!

Senn will hit both creatures with burst of radiance (Ref 16 for blind)

Damage vs Evil : 5d4 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 3, 4) = 14

Bitey furiously claws and bits at the creature infront of Trevor.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Trevor don't forget +2 AC for 4 attacks, Bitey can absorb one attack, and your take half damage as Senn will absorb it.

Byakhee reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Melisenn reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Both creatures make their save from the blindness.

With Bitey's two attacks the Byakhee falls dead.

Back to block 1

Trevor charges at the other person, thing, he isn't sure what is what at this point.

Hammer,PA,Charge,Inspire: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 252d6 + 18 ⇒ (4, 6) + 18 = 28

The thing is dead, I believe, now it is the woman left.

The Inquisitor moves to within 40’ and fires two shots from his bow at the woman.

Rapid Attack with PBS and Precise with Deadly Aim 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 6
Silver arrow Damage 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + 4 - 1 = 7

Rapid Attack with PBS and Precise with Deadly Aim 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 20
Damage 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + 4 - 1 = 7

Trevor charges forward and his hammer smashes into the woman. One of Atajay's arrows strikes the woman, the other goes skittering off into the darkness.

Domeric, and then Penith, your actions

Domeric moves forward and attacks the woman.

Starknife Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
Damage: 1d4 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Domeric misses

Penith, your action

Sorry all

Penith continues her assault on the woman who tried to cast spells on her.

attack kinetic blast, pbs with precise shot: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 1 = 18
damage kinetic blast, pbs: 3d6 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2, 1) + 8 + 1 = 16

GM 14 was the damage done by the spell the DC was 16. I think they are both blind. Would that change any hits to misses or help Penith?

With Penith's final blow Melisenn falls dead.

Loot: Scroll of cure serious wounds
scroll of dismissal
2 scrolls of restoration
scroll of sending
+1 chain shirt
+1 rapier
headband of inspired wisdom +2
ring of protection +1
silver unholy symbol of Hastur
powdered diamonds (worth 400gp)

a copy of a book called the Pnakoptic text which details portals and conjuration magic. This also contains the following spells:

Gate
Greater teleport
greater planar binding
interplanetary teleport
lesser planar binding
planar binding
plane shift
teleport
teleport object
teleportation circle

Senn greedily grabs the headband. Right before she puts it on her head she says, "Sorry, this will be very useful for me. May I have it."

The moment she ask for the headband the hyena jaw bone tattoo on her left hand starts bleeding and burning again.

"Arg."

Burn the book! Never read strange books.

”No wonder she was so tough. She had some amazing gear with her. That’ll be really useful to us,” he says, marveling at the take.

Penith looks concerned at the bleeding burning tattoo, but decided long ago Senn's business was her own. She would share if you wished, otherwise Penith will simply be there if she needs it. Instead of asking, she looks closely at the headband on her forehead, then smiles "It looks very good on you."

Penith already has a chain shirt +1... and maybe a ring of protection, so she doesn't claim anything, Kineticists are easy loot wise :)

So...I guess we have lifted the curse on the town or whatever at long last?

"I don't know let's explore this are further. She was the source of the poision was she not?"

Senn will search are this area for anythingelse that seems dangerous, magic or related the curse.

You keep referring to a curse- do you mean whats been done to you?

What was done to us, and the evil mind control cloud what we previously stopped. She is still curious about he nature of that magic and nightmare sleep magic in general.

That was Trevor exaggerating since he thinks evil cults curse the town to make bad stuff happen. There is a cult! They also have a goat! Thus curses!

Senn is using curse to mean persistent evil magic.

The general evil that we must stop!

You do not find anything else in the chamber

"Well it seems time for a hard earned rest. To fix our minds then we go after Lowls at the fort."

If we can take some time Senn and Atajay should cast as many lesser restorations as they can and get everybodies mind right. Senn can also provide the treat ment in a week should she roll well she can remove 5 sanity damage.

that would be lovley.

"Rest would be nice..." Domeric agreed.

Doctor Trevor will heal our minds!

Atajay has several lesser restoration spells he can cast to heal some of the group.

So I guess we try to find out more about this Lowls person? Doesn't seem like we have any other leads.

Senn can 7 lesser restos a day.

1d2 ⇒ 1
1d2 ⇒ 2
1d2 ⇒ 1
1d2 ⇒ 2
1d2 ⇒ 2
1d2 ⇒ 2
1d2 ⇒ 2

Wisdom check to heal 5 sanity to everybody: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

1d2 ⇒ 1
1d2 ⇒ 2
1d2 ⇒ 2
1d2 ⇒ 2
1d2 ⇒ 2
1d2 ⇒ 2
1d2 ⇒ 2

I think that should cover all the damage after the restorations that Atajay provided.
