STRANGE AEONS (Inactive)

Game Master Daniel Penfold 351

Nah, he'll be teleporting away just as we enter, leaving demons to fight.

Opening the door you find yourselves in a strange room. The walls of this hall bulge and curve with unsettingly organic concavities. Thousands of sinuous etchings trace their way down the walls, as if the walls were scarred by roots or marred by burrowing worms fleeing some peril from above. Three staircases arch, dip, and intertwine as they ascend dizzingly to a series of hexagonal passageways.

What would you like to do?

The walls give Penith a headache, which is fairly easy to do really. Looking at the staircases she suggests "Start on the right one?"

”Sounds like a plan. Let’s go,” the archer says as he moves toward the staircase.

Trevor takes the lead!

Thankful she is NOT taking the lead, Penith follows dutifully along.

As you start to walk up the stairs 3 figures appear. Their skin has an odd greenish tinge. They start to move towards you to attack.

Sorry the map is abit squashed- didn't scan very well.

Penith initiative: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Trevor initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Atajay initiative: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

Domeric initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Senn initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Kelshan initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Marok initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Sendala initiative: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Initiative order:
Block 1: Trevor, Atajay and Penith
Block 2: Sendala and Marok
Block 3: Senn and Domeric
Block 4: Kelshan
Oh and you can have a knowledge religion check on the creatures.

Kniw. Religion 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

Trevor moves up to guard the group and will bash the first to come near.

Hammer,PA: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 282d6 + 23 ⇒ (1, 6) + 23 = 30 if aberration, add
extra damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5

Penith will concentrate her fire on teh one Trevor is trying to end. So she picks up a nice limestone rock from her pack, kind of shaped like Trevor's head, which is odd. The similarity is odd, not Trevor's head.

attack, pbs, bullseye. da: 1d20 + 15 - 3 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 15 - 3 + 1 + 4 = 18
damage: 7d6 + 14 + 1d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 4, 1, 2, 4) + 14 + (8) + 6 + 1 = 48

In the end, Penith concentrated too much on the shape of the rock, instead of shoving it through the figure's face.

Atajay you recognise the creatures as seeded creatures. They have fast healing, damage reduction except against bludgeoning and slashing weapons and resistance to cold and electricity. Their attacks can cause Charisma damage

Atajay its your action, Trevor and Penith I'm holding your actions until the creatures turn

Atajay tells the others about the creature and casts Divine Power.

The creature at the back casts a spell at Trevor and Domeric.

(Lightning Arc - Reflex 22 for half)

Damage: 10d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 3, 1, 5, 6, 1, 3, 1, 2) = 29

The creature on the right staircase fires at Penith.

Longbow: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20

damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 4) + 7 = 14

Longbow: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 4) + 7 = 17

On to block 3

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31

Domeric evades much of the damage from the blast of lightning, and fills the room with his music, before casting haste on the party.

Everyone has +3 to hit and damage, plus Haste

Penith's telekinetic shield takes most of the piercing pain of the first arrow, just getting through enough to draw a dribble of blood. A happy achievement, she thinks... right before the second arrow slams right through her shoulder.

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Senn sends Bitey pouncing with all the power Dom provides.

Bite: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (10) + 20 = 30
Damage: 1d6 + 16 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 16 + (5) = 27

Talon: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25
Damage: 1d4 + 16 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 16 + (2) = 22

Claw: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (10) + 20 = 30

Claw: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27
Damage: 1d4 + 16 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 16 + (4) = 24

Senn is going to back out a bit a delay.

Gm I put up a higher quality version of the map if you want to move the fight over.

Thanks for updating the map Senn

Bitey bounds across to attack the magic user and tears into him. The creature is still there but only just.

The fighter moves up to Trevor, and Trevor immediately smashes his hammer into it.

Back to block 1

Trevor bashes the fighterBludgeoning damage

Atajay and Penith, your actions

Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

With one dead, Penith pulls out a new rock for the one with the longbow. This time she refuses to look at it, but maybe the focus on NOT looking at it made her lose focus... again two natural ones in a row :)

[i]Atajay's arrows fly through the air, striking the creature that was firing arrows at the party, doing a significant amount of damage.

In retaliation the creature fires at Atajay. Meanwhile the spellcaster tries to attack Bitey.

longbow: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18

DC 17 fort save to halve damage and avoid dazed

With two blows Bitey tears the sorceror apart.

The sorceror releases a cliud of spores as it dies (Fort save from Bitey - DC 22)

Domeric I have moved your attack to the remaining enemy but can you make a spell penetration roll please

Back to block 1

Trevor moves up to one of the nasties and bashes!

Hammer,PA,Furious,Haste,Insipre: 1d20 + 23 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 23 + 1 + 3 = 392d6 + 26 ⇒ (4, 2) + 26 = 32

Penith CONCENTRATES this time really hard and hitting the bad with her rock and Succeeds!

Bitey Fort: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

Between Trevor's blow and Penith's rock the reamining creatue is obliterated into a pile of bones. One again it releases a cloud of spores as it dies

In a side area of the stairs you can now see a partial cocoon of sorts made up of seeded tendrils. There appears to be a figure inside.

fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Im on the road this morning. Is a +2 agile breastplate better protection than Mithral chain?

We haven't encountered anything I need to use a bow on, yet. But can I have the magic bow?

We haven't encountered anything I need to use a bow on, yet. But can I have the magic bow?

Atajay nods. He was happy with his own bow.

+1 agile breastplate should be a great bonus over a chain shirt.

"I'm good with my bag of rocks." Penith shrugs.

Get some big gems so you can hit things with style.

Just looked it up, and the magical breastplate would limit my Dex bonus so much that it wouldn’t actually help me very much, I’ll stick with the Mithral chain for now.

I have a feeling that whoever is in that cocoon is dead meat and becoming something nasty.

"Maybe it's turning into a butterfly..."

Doesn't Urgathoa have a butterfly as a symbol? Nonononononono.

Senn is going to take a look at the cocoon from 10ft away.

Perception: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (17) + 34 = 51

Are there any signs of life, or treasure and, I guess danger?

Senn, you can see that the creature in the cocoon us a human male, he seems weak and delirious and appears to show the signs of being infested by seedborne consumption.

"Let's cut him out. He is alive but not doing well."

We best get ready to burn him if he goes hostile. Trevor will help get the man down.

"I can try from a distanct, in case gross stuff pours out?" Penith offers, and if accepted will use her knife and her mind to open up the cocoon carefully.

Using her mind to power it, Penith cuts the figure free. Once released you find that it is a human male. He appears weak and dehydrated and he looks as if he will soon turn into a seedborne creature. He seems to babble and his mind seems to be no longer his own.
