Wrath of the Righteous- go to 11 (Inactive)

Game Master drbuzzard

"I know who this cell belongs to, I owe her my life. If she is still here, we must find her and save her." I relay the brief story of how I ran into this woman as a child when I was "accidentally" behind enemy lines and she saved me. See the campaign trait Chance Encounter

"We are looking for a beautiful woman..." I relay what I remember of her description to the team.

"I hope she is okay and we can find her safe in this hell hole of a tainted place."

You hear me mumbling a little prayer, which you don't ever really hear me do ever.

"Erastil forgive me that I seek a follower of Desna, but without her I would not be here today to follow you and praise your wisdom. She is like a lost family member to me and I believe that it is good and right to save her. Please help me in my hunt to find her and if you can find it in your heart, please make sure she is safe until I can find her."

Tinnath does her best to reassure Mama. "It looks like she's resourceful enough to have gotten out of this cell, so she's able to look after herself fairly well. If she's still here, we'll find her. If she's not, it's probably because she's already escaped."

This cell explored Tinnath goes back to peer at the active runes again. "So do we want to try to break through these and see what's on the other side, or do we want to move on? I can try to disarm them if it's possible (which isn't clear,) though I get the feeling Mama's better equipped. I'd rather not try to go through without dealing with them one way or another."

I think use magical device might be a better skill for turning them off.

Well I guess that's on me then.

Use Magical Device to disable Runes: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

And let's toss some inspiration on that.

Use Magical Device with inspiration to Disable Runes: 19 + 1d6 ⇒ 19 + (6) = 25

That isn't enough to shut it down, the runes continue to glow.

You don't see anyone in the cell through the hatch when you take a peek.

"I might be able to dispel the runes if you wish me to try."

"If there's no one in there, let's not waste time. We should move on to the next room."

After her failed attempt to turn off the runes Tinnath peers through the bars and shrugs. "I agree. It doesn't look like anything's in there so there's no need to waste more resources for now. Let's keep moving."

Let's head to G3, the G5s and G6 until we hit something new or that has changed since the party was here last!

You head into G3

Ten individual cells line the walls of this communal prison block.

As you enter six vampire spawn, obviously former crusaders emerge from the rooms and attack.

As I've been too lazy to update them, they die from stern looks. As written they are nowhere close to your league.

Checking G5 and G6 you see nothing new.

"Hmm, that seems to be the last obvious spot, so we should probably start looking for less obvious ones. Let's check these rooms for secret doors and the like."

Perception to find secret doors or passages in G6: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26

If we don't find the door here, we can systematically go back through the rooms with quick checks or start taking 20 until we find things.

You don't find anything in G6.

You do (after a good bit of time searching all over the place wall by wall) find out that's there's a secret passage out of G1b.

"These secret passages. Always in the last place you look. Shall we see where it leads?"

Tinnath leads the way down the passage a looks about.

"Indeed. Let's move forwards."

It's really hot heading into this room, as in harmful levels. If you wish to do something preventative on the way mention it before you roll init.

You head into G7

A ten-foot-wide cage encloses an elevated lift at the top of this high terrace. A line of chains and an array of pulleys allow the cage to be lowered down into the room or moved across the room to a set of double doors at the far side of the chamber. The terrace and cage both overlook a large chamber with walls that seem to glow red hot. Heat wavers in the air, and wisps of vapor periodically waft up from the floor and walls, but the temperature atop the terrace is rather cool. Below, in the center of the room, squats a large forge made of black and red metal.

There are six odd looking critters in here with humanoid torsos on snake lower bodies. They are reddish in color and bear spears and wear breastplates.

They are not giving you welcoming glances.

init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

"Hot enough for everyone in here?"

Tinnath pauses to drink another of two of her vials of liquid, spitting the second back out, before proceeding down the corridor.

Using Alchemical Alocation with a Resist Energy (Fire) potion, and one use of enhance potion to make it act at 9th level instead of 3rd, so Resist Fire 20 for 90 minutes.

When she reaches the room and looks down, she grins at the creatures and prepares for a battle.

Initiative: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Initiative: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

"Not a fan of this heat."

Nuala will cast Communal Resist Fire(20) on herself, Mama, and Kendren. Lasts 30 mins each.

Also remember Mama you have Heroism active on you..

Know Planes: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (6) + 25 = 31

Init: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

They are salamanders

CE outsiders (fire extraplanar)
You get 2 questions

I cast resist energy (fire) earlier with a 90 minute duration, so I think I'm good. If it expired while we were searching for the secret door, then I'll take Nuala's buff.

Init: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Kendren looks at the lift, and says, "Should we lower ourselves to face them, or just use the lift to cross the room to the double doors?"

Our durations will be 45 instead of 30 Mama.

Special Offense and Defense.

How closely spaced are they? I cannot see them on the map.

You guys are up first. Critters are on the map.

How far is the drop down to the lower level and could we freely jump down?

"If we leave them behind they could come back to bother us at a less convenient time later."

Nuala flies 20' up and over the group before casting Slow(DC 23) that will hit all but #5.

Immediate action study target #1 & #4. Current studied targets #1 & #4
Attacking #1 and if it falls, switch to #4

to hit: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (14) + 22 = 36 damage: 2d8 + 17 + 17 + 4d6 + 3d6 ⇒ (5, 2) + 17 + 17 + (1, 1, 2, 5) + (3, 1, 1) = 55 Manyshot
to hit: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (11) + 22 = 33 damage: 1d8 + 17 + 2d6 + 3d6 ⇒ (3) + 17 + (2, 1) + (2, 4, 3) = 32
to hit: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31 damage: 1d8 + 17 + 2d6 + 3d6 ⇒ (4) + 17 + (2, 6) + (3, 3, 2) = 37

I would like to know the answer on Tinnath's question, as well. Gotta get close.

20' down. You can jump if you wish.

I didn't realize it was so far down, you can deduct the point blank +1 to hit and damage from my attacks above. With the angle I'm not close enough for the 30'.

"Well now, time to go down!"

Tinnath runs straight forward, off the edge of the platform, tumbles and moves between two of the Salamanders before taking a swipe at one.

Spending a Mythic Power for Fleet Charge to move between 3 and 6, including falling off the edge of the platform and then attacking 3.

Acrobatics to avoid fall damage for the first 10 feet vs DC 15: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (4) + 21 = 25

Nonlethal Damage for the second 10 feet of the fall: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Falacata PA attack on 3: 1d20 + 20 + 2 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (4) + 20 + 2 + 2 - 3 = 25
Damage (S, Magic, Cold Iron): 1d8 + 12 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 6 + 2 = 26

Once she's standing between the two foes, Tinnath grins at 6 and gives a wink before starting into a full attack.

Swift action to study 6, full attack on 6 switching to 3 if 6 goes down.

Primary Attack 1: 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 2 + 4 - 3 ⇒ (4) + 18 + 2 + 2 + 4 - 3 = 27
Damage (S, Magic, Cold Iron): 1d8 + 12 + 2 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 2 + 6 + 4 = 32

Secondary Attack 1: 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 2 + 4 - 3 ⇒ (13) + 18 + 2 + 2 + 4 - 3 = 36 32 if against 3
Damage (S, Magic, Cold Iron): 1d8 + 12 + 2 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 28 24 if against 3

Primary Attack 2: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 2 + 4 - 3 ⇒ (14) + 13 + 2 + 2 + 4 - 3 = 32 28 if against 3
Damage (S, Magic, Cold Iron): 1d8 + 12 + 2 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 2 + 6 + 4 = 30 26 if against 3

Secondary Attack 2: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 2 + 4 - 3 ⇒ (7) + 13 + 2 + 2 + 4 - 3 = 25 21 if against 3
Damage (S, Magic, Cold Iron): 1d8 + 12 + 2 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 29 25 if against 3

Kendren takes a deep breath, then runs forward and leaps from the platform towards the ground.

Acrobatics to avoid fall damage for the first 10 feet vs DC 15: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 2 - 4 = 18

Nonlethal damage for the second 10 feet: 1d6 ⇒ 2

He lands directly in front of number 4, surprisingly gracefully, and flies into his bloodrage to lay into the salamander with his sword.

Attack counts as magic and cold iron for DR purposes.

Attack, bloodrage, Mythic PA: 1d20 + 17 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (18) + 17 + 2 - 3 = 34
Damage, bloodrage, Mythic PA: 1d8 + 6 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 4 + 6 = 18

He then makes a quick surprise attack.

Swift action Mythic Point for Sudden Attack. Ignores all DR.

Sudden Attack: 1d20 + 17 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (18) + 17 + 2 - 3 = 34
Damage, bloodrage, Mythic PA: 1d8 + 6 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 4 + 6 = 20

Tinnath, isn't Fleet Charge a swift action?

Good call on the Fleet Charge! So no studying these foes. That would just make the second set of numbers I gave for the full attacks correct, with the first primary attack being 4 less to hit and damage. My bad!

will saves: 5d20 ⇒ (9, 8, 1, 13, 18) = 49 fail, fail, fail, fail, pass

Mama offs #1.

Tinnath: Hit on #3
Miss, hit, hit, miss on #6

Both still are up

Kedren hits #4 twice still up.

3,6 having a convenient flank supplied, use it. 6 made the will save so gets a full attack

Kendren strikes twice at the salamander before him, trying to finish it.

Damage, bloodrage, Mythic PA: 1d8 + 6 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 4 + 6 = 18

Still up.

Nuala hits #6 with a magic missile.

"Kill that one first Tinnanth! The others are slowed!"

Force Dam: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 3, 4) + 5 = 19

"I'm on it!"

Swift action to study #6, then full attack on #6 followed by #3 and finally #2 if I drop any of them.

The crit finishes #6 (in a most dramatic fashion, with the head flying off in a fountain of fiery ichor), then a miss against #3.

5' step closer (still not point blank range with the elevation).

Swift action study target #3. Current studied targets #4 & #3
Attacking #4 and if it falls, switch to #3

Tinnath hits #3 3 times, but does not put it down (it was fresh before that from what I read).

I did have one hit on #3 with my first round of combat for 26 damage if that helps.

Nuala channel heals, excluding the baddies.

Heals: 5d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 5, 6, 2) = 17

Then #3 is down.

Kendren feels most of his wounds heal, then lays into the salamander that attacked him with two quick strikes.

Attack #5, counts as magic and cold iron for DR.

Attack, bloodrage, Mythic PA: 1d20 + 17 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (16) + 17 + 2 - 3 = 32

5' step closer, still out of point blank range.

Swift action study target #5 & #2. Current studied targets #5 & #2
Attacking #5 and if it falls, switch to #2

to hit: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (17) + 21 = 38 damage: 2d8 + 16 + 16 + 4d6 ⇒ (2, 8) + 16 + 16 + (2, 1, 4, 1) = 50 Manyshot

to hit: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21 damage: 1d8 + 16 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 16 + (4, 2) = 30

Kendren hacks away, then the Manyshot from Mama drops #5.

Then she misses #2 twice.

#2 attacks in desperation (but not all that desperate since 'death' means a trip back to the plane of fire).

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 16 damage: 1d8 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18 hit

PCs are up.

Kendren charges over to strike at the final salamander, moving into position so Tinnath can easily step into a flank. His sword charges with arcane energy.

Move action, then attack #5. Attack counts as magic and cold iron for DR. I just realized I've been using normal power attack numbers, not mythic numbers. Shoot.

Attack, bloodrage, charge, Mythic PA: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (16) + 17 + 2 + 2 - 3 = 34
Damage, bloodrage, Mythic PA, arcane strike: 1d8 + 6 + 4 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 4 + 9 + 2 = 22

Nuala flies up behind Tinnath and drops a big heal on her. Cast and fly up to heal.

Heals: 4d8 + 8 + 17 ⇒ (3, 8, 8, 8) + 8 + 17 = 52

Tinnath grits her teeth, takes a short step to flank, eyes the salamander up and down and lets it know what she thinks of it with a barrage of blows.

5 foot step to flank, swift action to study the target, full attack.

PA Primary Attack 1: 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 2 + 4 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 18 + 2 + 2 + 4 - 3 + 2 = 26

He's dead Jim.

Combat over.
