PFS Module Master of the Fallen Fortress with GM Deadly Secret (Inactive)

Game Master Deadly secret

Ref: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

"Ouch! I'm not dead yet."

Wand of Infernal healing.

Magnu cast the spell. Falls unconscious then wakes up 6 seconds later and continues to heal for a minute.

Knowledge religion: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Tiberius moves over to the altars and examines them "I believe this is the holy symbols of Nethys."then he casts read magic and reads parchments on the altars "And I've found a scroll of shatter and of shield."

"I think i can see a hidden door over there but it might be locked."Tiberius says pointing at east chambers wall.

Lissi shuffles hesitantly over to the locked door, first checking it for traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

If she finds no traps, she will take 20 on the lock for a 26, unless anyone feels the need for haste.

Reflex DC 11: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

"Ooof," Paltair says as the smoke fades from the explosion. "I'm... not feeling... so good..."

If Paltair could use a charge of someone's wand, he will be able to contribute much more effectively for the rest of this expedition. He's a fresh character without the prestige to purchase one on his own.

Appraise DC 20: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

"Ooo! These are worth a pretty penny," he says as he examines the altar coverings.

reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9Here...use my wand....luverally-sorry...been really sick last few days...flu kicked my arse

Before we investigate the secret door , I have a healers kit if anyone would like healing. I believe Paltair needs attention.

Jayah attempts to heal Paltair.

Heal: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10

"My wand is a little slower but also available."

If Magnu is willing, the Infernal Healing will get Paltair back to full in the time it takes Lissi to unlock the door. Thank you!

Yep. It's all yours.

Lissi manages to unlock the hidden door after 20 minutes.

A living, moving fabric seems to cover the ceiling of this half-collapsed chamber, which stretches northwest into darkness. The pungent smell of ammonia rises from the droppings that litter the floor.

Magnu detects magic.

Lissi loads another cold iron bolt into her crossbow and once again skulks at the back of the party.

Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Tiberius rummages through his backpack and pulls out a bottle of Alchemist fire."I don't like the smell of this it reminds of the bat swarm that killed my puppy Radish in the barn when I was a kid."

Jayah sets down her shield and readies her scythe, nervously eyeing the unnatural moving "fabric".

Would you be so kind as to move your tokens to where you want to be if you plan to investigate this area. Feel free to roll perceptions too if you want.

I'm assuming the jagged gray area is a crumbled portion of the tower? If so, Lissi will stick way in the back there and let the others go first. :)

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Tiberius has a look around.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Correct, the jagged area is the missing floor and wall. You can see outside from here and even jump down to the earth floor if you want.

Magnu moves to the middle of the room looking for magic.

Jayah moves into the room, casts Guidance, and looks around.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Paltair steps out and looks around as well.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Your party starts to move through the secret door hundreds of high-pitched squeaks fill the air as a mass of small, carnivorous bats surges forth, all of them hungry for blood. You can see the bats swarming together in the other room where the wall is also partly missing along with the floor and door.

Initiative
Vanna Therinor 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Tiberius M’azora 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Lissi DuGal 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Magnu the Magus 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Jayah Bobbleroth 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Paltair 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Bat Swarm 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Because these bats are diminutive, you all know the swarm is immune to weapon damage.

═══════════════

Up first, Paltair & Lissi!

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Swallowing, Lissi looks down at her useless crossbow. "I-I can't hurt it..." With nothing else to do, she slinks back into the previous room, keeping an eye on their rear for any other threats.

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

"Wait!" Paltair says to Lissi. "I have a bottle of acid - that should do something to all those bats. But my aim is not as good as yours." He holds out the bottle. "Would you care to do the honors? I'll be right there beside you."

Would Lissi like to finish her turn by taking the acid?

GM - CanJayah use Wild Mischief (like Wild Empathy) to convince the bats that there is something in the open area that they should swarm to?

Huh. Looks like the boards ate my post. Sorry! Yes. Lissi will take the acid to use next round. :)

Wild empathy doesn’t really work that way, it’s a diplomacy tool. It will take about 10 rounds give or take for you to influence its attitude towards you.

Lissi grabs the acid.

The bats swarm over Paltair & Tiberius and hundreds of tiny bats start biting at both of you.
1d6 ⇒ 4 damage
You both are also now bleeding and will take 1 bleed damage on your turn. The bleeding can be stopped by a DC 10 Heal check or the application of a cure spell or some other healing magic.
Paltair & Tiberius please roll a DC 11 Fortitude; fail = Nauseated.

═══════════════

Up next, Tiberius, Vanna, Magnu & Jayah!

Jayah gets a torch out of her backpack and lights it.

She swings it at any bats that come near as an improvised weapon.

Torch as weapon: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 2 - 4 = 16
Fire Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Tiberius now bleeding and vomiting moves a way from the swarm and out stretches his arm holding the bottle of Alchemist fire"I can't throw this but one of you can."Tiberius says hoping someone will grab it.

I've got something for them....luckily I listened to my brother Doran... Vanna says as she gets out a vial from her bandolier and tosses it at the swarm.

splash: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 191d6 ⇒ 41d6 ⇒ 1 i rolled the second round of damage for expediency's sake

"I have a little alchemist's fire too. Never leave home without it."

Alchemist's Fire: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Jayah pulls out a torch and lights it.

Tiberius is nauseated for 1 round.

Vanna tosses acid? at the swarm and hits. A number of bats fall to the ground burning as the swarm gets thinner. Lissi & Paltair take 1 damage from the splash.

Magnu tosses alchemist's fire at the swarm and hits. A number of bats fall to the ground burning as the swarm gets thinner. Lissi & Paltair take 1 damage from the splash.

Round 2

═══════════════

Up next, Paltair & Lissi

Paltair, don't forget to roll Fort because you might be nauseated this round.

Thanks for the reminder!

Fortitude: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 Failure

Paltair can only stagger away, hand over his mouth and slightly marred from his ally's attacks.

oops...alchemists fire...not acid...sorry....thought i typed it in...thats why i rolled second round of damage

Lissi moves to the side to get a clearer shot, and lobs the acid at the swarm.

Acid vs. Touch AC: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Sorry that earlier splash damage should have been on Jayah not Lissi. Changing that now on the slides.

Paltair moves and is nauseated and takes 1 bleed damage.

Lissi tosses the acid and hits the swarm. Jayah take 1 damage from the splash.

The bats swarm over Jayah and hundreds of tiny bats start biting at you.
1d6 ⇒ 4 damage
You are also now bleeding and will take 1 bleed damage on your turn. The bleeding can be stopped by a DC 10 Heal check or the application of a cure spell or some other healing magic.
Please roll a DC 11 Fortitude; fail = Nauseated.

═══════════════

Up next, Tiberius, Vanna, Magnu & Jayah!

The fire from the splash weapon continues to burn the bats this round and it seems that most of them die to the point the swarm disperses and the remaining bats fly away.

You will need to resolve your bleeds however, so we stay in rounds until you manage that.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

If I succeed in the Fortitude check

I dig out the Healer's Kit from my backpack and try to stop the bleeding.

Heal: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 = 27

What a waste of a good roll...

Can someone help with my bleeding? I seem to be unable to even get my healer's kit out...

"I too need help to stop my bleeding."

Once it reaches her turn, Lissi will try to stop the bleeding on Tiberius, since he's closer.

Untrained Heal: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Vanna moves to Jayah and tries to stanch the bleeding with a oart of her cloak.

untrained heal: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Round 3

Paltair is still bleeding. Maybe this round?

Everyone is up.

Heal: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (6) - 2 = 4

Paltair limps back. "Could I get another hit of that wand?" he asks Magnu feebly.

Magnu will just start tapping people with his wand to stop the bleeding.

"Magic can solve many problems."

Seeing that Magnu is healing everyone with the wand, Lissi reloads her crossbow and moves back toward the door where the swarm came from to look around.

Are we still in rounds? If so, I'll have to wait until next turn to make a Perception check.

Tiberius moves over to Magnu and gets healed by his wand.

cure light wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Thank you i feel much better."

The wand is infernal healing FYI

Jayah is grateful to receive healing from Vanna and Magnu.

Infernal Healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Thank you so much!
