CORE CAMPAIGN (Inactive)

Game Master JASON RODARTE

The two lieutenants flank Gulgamodh, while Mithrakk, the Undying charges to the constuct on a phantom horse!

To Hit: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 2 = 25 Misses

The Lieutenants provoke, the graveknight doesn't

Aurus puts a couple of shots from the gun into the creature for good measure.

"Gulgamodh is AWESOME!" he yells. "I'm never getting out of this suit! Where to next??"

You are actually not inside Gulgamodh, you are controlling it with the keys. You are actually on the map and you can choose to interact as well if you (really) want to. (I'm assuming) Controlling a bodypart of Gulgamodh is a move action.

Party is up!

can we have the construct beat the baddy;s lol?

Aurus begins hitting keys to focus Gulgamodh's attacks on the graveknight. Gulgamodh slams his head, then his gun, trying to squash the graveknight.

Attack: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (6) + 22 = 28
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 3) + 8 = 17

Yes you can. Also: you (Lukian, Fist of Gulgamodh) can make an AoO against on of the two 'regular' minotaurs.

Gulgamodh hits the graveknight twice, but not all damage seems to go through.

Regular minotaur AoO 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (8) + 22 = 30
3d6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 1, 6) + 8 = 21

Regular minotaur AoO 1d20+22

Sonic damage: 6d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 1, 1, 3, 5) = 19 DC 19 Fort save for half

SHocko! BLAMMO the gnome exclaims

Cloudia fires up the electricity and sonics hoping to find something that penetrates the graveknights defenses.

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 Failure

I'm ignoring the last 2d6 as it's 4d6, not 6d6

Well dang. I guess 6d6 was too good to be true!

Botting Mao

Mao attacks the graveknight with a kick

To Hit: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 35 Hits for 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 3) + 8 = 12

Still 2 temp HP left!

Perception: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (10) + 20 = 30

The graveknight seems to have noticed you and how your actions influence Gulgamodh as he grunts some orders to his Lieutenants.

The warchief Mithrakk himself attacks Gulgamodh.

To Hit: 1d20 + 15 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (7) + 15 + 2 - 3 = 21 Misses

The red lieutenant double moves.

The blue lieutenant moves, dropping his axe and drawing his bow and shoots at Cloudia

Still 2 temp HP left! ;-)

Party is up!

Cloudia buckles backward from the force of the arrow. Not liking that in the least she scurries behind the stone platform and drops prone, hoping to gain cover.

She then twiddles and screams and fires off another cone of sound at the blue lieutenant and the warchief.

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
sonic damage: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 5, 3) = 12, DC 19 fort save for half

Both minotaurs seem to be fully affected by the sonic cannon.

Mao hurries and controls Gulgy's foot as he sees incoming threat.

Bottig Aurus

As Aurus sees the minotaur lieutenant closing in on their location he quickly pushes the cannon button, provoking from Mithrakk the Undying.

AoO Mithrakk: 1d20 + 15 - 3 ⇒ (18) + 15 - 3 = 30 Hits!

Damage: 2d8 + 8 + 9 ⇒ (1, 2) + 8 + 9 = 20 and Fire: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Arcane Cannon: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 hits for Damage: 6d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 5, 4, 1, 5) = 24

He then activates the headbutt button to headbutt the other Lieutenant

To Hit: 1d20 + 22 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 22 - 2 = 25 Hits for Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 2) + 8 = 15

Botting Lukian

Lukian takes an AoO on the Red Lieutenant

To Hit: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (5) + 22 = 27 Hits for Damage: 3d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 2, 2) + 8 = 17

and a regular attack on the Blue Lieutenant

To Hit: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (1) + 22 = 23 Hits for Damage: 3d6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 2, 6) + 8 = 17

Splut!

Blue Lieutenant can't charge, so he just moves in and swings his axe at Aurus

to Hit: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22 Hits for Damage: 3d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 4, 6) + 7 = 19

Party is up!

Gulgy's HP: 61/177

Coudia, who cowering behind the alter (or whatever it is), frantically jiggles and screams as she tries to get the collosus to finish the warchief off.

overclock boots: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20, Mao, you can take an extra action with the boots when you activate them

And, again, she screams at the warchief.

overclocking boots successful! :-)

Overclocking damage: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 6) = 13

And, again, she screams at the warchief.

Gulgy's HP: 48/177

Mao nods as he sees Gulgy's boots surge with energy. Take these, graveknight.

Mao uses the extra legpower to kick the graveknight instead of catching up with the minotaur that is currently attacking them.

Mao's kicks hit and deal some damage.

The gnome will have the construct punch at the grave kniht or the warchief if the undead is down

Warchief Mithrakk the Undying IS the graveknight.

Lukian punches the warchief and the warchief goes down.

Botting Aurus

"I can't get a lock with all the walls in between, I'll try, but it's a longshot!" Aurus complains

Wait a sec. Is Mao and down? We do not have anyone controlling the legs? If so, could someone grab the leg controls and I'll overclock them to get him over here.

Wait a sec. Is Mao and down? We do not have anyone controlling the legs?

Mao is not down. You all had 15 temp hitpoints.

Also you can only overclock a specific system once.

Awesome! That means cloudia is in much better shape than I thought.

Coudia will overclock the cannon
Overclock-UMD: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12, nope

And then offer encouragement.
encourage-Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 - +2 to all attacks for one round.

***OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT***

An elite team of Pathfinders pins down one of the draconic monstrosity Atalazorn’s limbs, giving Gulgamodh an opportunity to grab the beast’s head. After a brief struggle, Gulgamodh decapitates the abomination, which falls to the battlefield with a shuddering crash. With the giant construct leading the way, formations of the First Guard and Pathfinders converge on the siege castle.

Gulgamodh bulldozes down the outer gate head-first. Waiting inside is a battalion of demons led by a minotaur champion with metal plates bolted to its body and wielding an overlarge sword. It sweeps the sword at Gulgamodh, tearing open a terrible gash that nearly splits the giant construct in two. Gulgamodh lets out a drawn-out, metallic wail before collapsing in the gateway.

The ancient guardian may have fallen, but the path into the castle is open. Don’t waste this opportunity!

Table GMs, the Siege Castle condition on page 29 is now in effect.

The ancient guardian may have fallen, but the path into the castle is open. Don’t waste this opportunity!

This gatehouse is teeming with horrid fiends, and a seasoned Venture-Captain orders the Pathfinders to engage the enemy: “Greenhorns, kill those snipers in the towers! Experienced Pathfinders, kill me some babaus and nabasus! Tough-as-nails veterans, kill that bucket-headed abomination on the stairs!”

As ordered you go to the towers to eliminate the snipers!

I'm assuming you've all healed.

Lukian knows the goat demon is a Schir. A disease ridden monster with spell resistance, energy resistances and damage reduction (cold iron or good)

Knowledge (Planes)
Lukian: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Aurus: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Aurus knows the red skinned demons are Cambion. Demons with spell resistance, energy resistances and they excel in inflicting pain (they double threat ranges of all attacks they make).

OMG!!! Another combat? The scenario designers do know that a 3rd level sorcerer only has 6 spells, right? And that spells are about the only thing a sorcerer does well? Oh well, time to pull out the crossbow. Scratch that, she does not have a crossbow. Time to burn more money and use another scroll.

Cloudia snags a tanglefoot bag, a potion of delay poison (which she will use on any of you that get poisoned), and 3 smokesticks.

Is that figure at the end a sniper? And the other two figures demons? I was thinking of lobbing a smokestick but there are more arrow slits than the smoke could cover. It is only a 10'cube.

Cloudia moves back and casts bless, then pulls out a smokestick.

There was a reason I suggested stacking up with wands (although this combat Magic Missile wands aren't that useful due to their SR.), but this scenario is famous for its drain on resources, which is IMHO fair as that's the whole point of a siege.

They are all demons, storywise they are all snipers, but they are probably more dangerous in hand to hand.

are we on our own or are we in controlling the construct?
