GM Abraham's Emerald Spire

Game Master Abraham Z.

Seems like a pretty good time for a reroll.

Will Save: 1d20 ⇒ 14

For a moment, it seems that Ylosani is going to succumb to the magical flash. Then, his beak squares his eyes blink and then narrow dangerously.

"If you would do harm serpent, harm me! Leave my companions be!" he says, challenging the mechanical snake.

Yet, when he steps up to strike, it is at the individual who did magic.

MW Katana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Slashing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Yanda reels from the spell, sightless and stunned, but Ylosani somehow manages to fight it off and he steps forward and delivers a slashing blow to the Blue fellow, while also challenging the mechanical snake.

Altovin and Romulus are up!

Romulus begins to beat on his drum.

OOOOOOHhh... WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA!

It's... not his usual inspiring work, but hey, the drum beat keeps your blood pumping.

Inspire Courage everybody! +1 to attack and damage!

Seeing the spray begin to affect Courage he uses their bond to shunt off the effects.

(Share Will) Will 14: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 = 18 Courage passes his check through Altovin (assuming that was Color-Spray which is mind affecting).

After focusing back on reality he looks towards the fight.

"Stay with Yanda, Courage!" he calls out before moving up.

Courage will stay on Yanda's shoulder providing Guidance each turn.

Wanting to leave room for Dasus to Altovin begins to call for guidance from another plane. Wisps of energy begin to rotate around him.

Begin casting Summon Monster 1.

Romulus stirs his comrades to action with a rousing drumbeat.

Altovin uses his mystical link with his thrush familiar to help the poor bird stave off the spray of colors. The bird hops onto Yanda's shoulder and provides her with some badly needed guidance. Then Altovin begins to summon some assistance.

Across the chapel, Tarrin Dars calls upon her deity. "Lord Norgorber, help us to defeat these heathens who have invaded your sacred domain!" She casts bless

Green takes aim at Ylosani...
crossbow, Bless, into melee, challenge AC penalty: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 7
... but misses. He then reloads.

The metal snake lunges towards Ylosani...
bite, bless: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 = 15
... but it too misses.

Dasus is up!

Dasus steps forward, beside his samurai companion, saying to the rest of the band, "You have until we reach each of you to surrender. Save yourselves, don't die protecting someone so obviously willing to sacrifice you." Even as he speaks, he swings his axe at the snake.

Attack with power attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Of course, he's not used to fighting such small things.

Purple aims his crossbow at Dasus...
crossbow, into melee: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 4 = 19
... but even an excellent shot is no match for his armor.

Orange, seeing this, takes aim at Ylosani...
crossbow, into melee: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 - 4 = 16
... but his armor is also too tough.

Start of Round 2

Blue steps back 5' and glances at his ring for a moment before intoning another incantation and sending yet another shower of color into the midst of the heroes. The snake seems undisturbed by the colors spraying over it.

Both Ylosani and Altovin, perhaps from having just experienced much the same, are unperturbed by the spell, but poor Dasus reels from the colors, both blinded and stunned (you drop your weapon). Dasus, feel free to use a reroll if you've got one

Yellow targets the blind half-orc...
crossbow, bless, into melee, vs blind & stunned: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 - 4 = 8
... but in his excitement, his bolt goes astray.

Yanda's sight now returns to her, though she remains stunned, at least for another moment.

Altovin's spell finishes, allowing him to summon a monster.

Altovin, Courage, Ylosani, and Romulus may act!

The golden and teal wisps of energy begin to coalesce while moving into a square near the blue garbed cultists. The screech of an eagle is heard but one that brings calm rather than shock.

Golden talons overflowing with holy energy are the first thing to materialize and immediately begin attacking the evil cultist.

Full Attack with Smite Evil (Swift).
Talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

I again find myself at a loss for the rules of how pulling Dasus back would work.

Altovin fearing another spray of disorienting lights steps back and draws his wand to keep the party going.

"Stand strong." he calls out.

I again find myself at a loss for the rules of how pulling Dasus back would work.

I suspect anything you did that actually moved him from his square would provoke an AoO but you could knock him down (with a trip) and then someone could stand over him in the same square.

Was worried about that. At least stunned isn't helpless so they can't Coup De Grace him and I can just keep whacking him with heals.

Altovin's eagle appears and unleashes a dizzying array of attacks on the poor blue fellow, all of which strike home, leaving him badly bloodied. @Altovin, do you have any shenanigans that extend the duration of the summons? Otherwise, I think the eagle only lasts for a single round? Then the gnome moves back and draws a wand.

Regarding the question of how you would move Dasus, it would be a reposition maneuver, which would automatically succeed (presuming that he doesn't resist), but the movement would indeed provoke an AoO.

Ylosani and Romulus are up!

Summon Monster duration is based on caster level not spell level. Is Altovin a 1st level caster?

Tempting as fighting the better metal snake is, the blue garbed man is the bigger threat. He's already proven that he can cast debilitating magic...twice.

Ylosani follows him, taking another slash with his sword.

MW Katana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Slashing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

I've double-checked and I don't seem to have any rerolls from any sources. :-(

Yes, I'm assuming that Altovin's spell is coming from his one level in Oracle but he could possibly have a trait or something that boosts the caster level.

Ylosani swings at the blue caster - Jaris Phenogian's the name! - but misses.

Sorry, Dasus, looks like you may be out of commission for a bit. Sometimes the dice aren't kind.

Romulus is up!

Yeah, caster level 1 so it will disappear next time my initiative hits.

Yanda stands there and blinks a couple of times.

Romulus draws his bow back.

I hate Casters.

He taps his bow rhythmically against the drum

Readied attack to interrupt next spell he casts.

Shortbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Romulus watches the blue caster, waiting for a chance to disrupt his next spell.

Tarrin Dars (Red) moves up slightly and waves her hands. "For Norgorber! For our fallen comrades!" A blast of sound, centered just behind Dasus, catches all the pathfinders but Romulus, as well as the metal snake.
sonic dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 1

The spell does only minor damage, however, and most of the Pathfinders shake off the stunning effect easily. Altovin and his bird are not so fortunate, and are both stunned. Altovin, you drop anything you were holding. The snake appears modestly damaged by the noise, but does not seem like something that can be stunned.

Green now takes aim at the stunned Dasus, firing his crossbow at the poor blind half-orc.
lt. crossbow, bless, vs stunned & blind: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 = 23
CRIT CONFIRM lt. crossbow, bless, vs stunned & blind: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 1 = 18

Dasus Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Dasus takes a vicious hit but manages to fight off the poison that clings to the bolt.

The snake now lunges at Ylosani, attempting to bite him.
bite, bless: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11
But the tengu's armor is too tough to penetrate.

Purple takes aim at Ylosani with his crossbow.
attack, into melee: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 - 4 = 13
But has no success.

Seeing how difficult it is to hit the tengu, Orange takes aim at the unfortunate Dasus.
lt. crossbow, bless, vs stunned & blind: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 1 = 16
bolt and sneak: 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (2) = 8
Dasus Fort: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Once again, Dasus resists the effects of the poison on the bolt that badly wounds him.

Start of Round 3

Jaris (Blue) steps back 5' and begins to cast a spell, triggering Romulus' arrow shot, which hits the wounded fellow and drops him to the ground. Romulus, this also moves you to just before Blue in the initiative order.

Blue stabilization: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 - 2 = 4

Yellow shoots yet another crossbow bolt at unfortunate Dasus. Sorry, following their tactics!
lt. crossbow, bless, vs stunned & blind: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8
But this bolt skitters away uselessly.

Yanda now reawakens from the stupor that had absorbed her.

Altovin and Courage, however, stand still in stunned silence, while Altovin's celestial eagle returns to its home plane. Altovin's lifelink, however, continues to function, giving Dasus some badly needed healing.

Yanda and Ylosani may act!

Yadna blinks a few more times and moves forward. Through bleary eyes she see's an almost ideal opportunity for a bomb shot and aims at orange.

+8/2d6+5 (+7/2d6+4) or 7(6) splash bomb [rng: 20 ft; 20/x2*; fire] (+3[BAB] +3[dex] +1[throw anything] (+1)[pblank]/2d6 +4[int] (+1)[pblank]); DC 15 Reflex save for half splash damage

to hit ranged touch, point blank: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Crap. No reroll available. That will cause 7 splash damage.

Unfortunately she completely misses her target and flames go everywhere.

Ylosani watches as Yanda's bomb lands...somewhere clearly other than where she was aiming. He glances back at her and cocks his head to the side significantly, remembering the conflagration they had to fight and fight through previously.

Yet, he moves towards those flames, slipping further into the room. He finds himself on the opposite side of the metal serpent than Dasus but the other man is in no condition to distract it or provide aid. Nor has the snake attacked anyone but Ylosani, himself so his oath to protect others does not provide him any additional strength of arm.

He lashes out with his sword at the snake, nonetheless.

MW Katana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Yanda awakens from her stupor and hurls a bomb into the room. (Yanda, did you have anything in your hands before you were stunned that should be noted as dropped?). Still bleary-eyed, her bomb lacks its usual precision and goes astray...

Ylosani swings at the metal snake but does not manage to connect with it. Did you add your challenge and inspire bonuses? It's helpful to me if you note those so I can know if they've been included.

Altovin and Courage are no longer stunned from Sound Burst and will be able to act normally on their turns.

Tarrin Dars (Red) glares at the rather resilient Pathfinders and then waggles her fingers at the tengu warrior.

Ylosani Will, Wis dmg: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 - 2 = 8 Hold Person: mind-affecting enchantment (compulsion) - you get a new save each round on your turn as a full-round action.
The brave tengu stands still, frozen in place.

Green reloads his crossbow and takes aim at the now helpless Ylosani.
crossbow, bless: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 1 = 17 I believe this hits due to effective Dex of 0
dmg, bolt + sneak: 1d8 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (4) = 10 Your resolute ability converts 1 lethal to non-lethal, yes?
Fortunately, he appears to be out of poisoned bolts.

The snake (Cyan) moves forward to engage the thrower of bombs.
bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
But has no chance against her heavy armor.

Dasus remains blinded and stunned.

Purple drops his crossbow, draws his shortsword, steps forward, and stabs at the helpless Ylosani.
shortsword, bless: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
However, even paralyzed his armor is thick enough to ward off the blow.

Orange also drops his crossbow and draws his shortsword, moving up to flank the helpless Ylosani, but does not have enough time left to actually strike at him.

Start of Round 4

Romulus may act!

Challenge doesn't have an effect because I only get a bonus if the target of my challenge attacks someone other than me and I don't think it has. I did forget the inspire bonus, though.

And yes, one HP of each physical attack that hits me gets converted to 1 NL.

She would have dropped a dagger which she rarely uses anyway. Speaking of inspired bonuses, add 1 to Yanda's splash damage.

The target of your challenge (the cyan snake) did attack someone else, but not until after your turn. So your bonus will apply when/if you get un-held. And the added inspire bonus is not *quite* enough to have hit.

She would have dropped a dagger which she rarely uses anyway. Speaking of inspired bonuses, add 1 to Yanda's splash damage.

Romulus readies to aid the stunned Dasus against the foe that attacks him. Which happens almost immediately, as Yellow now reloads his crossbow and takes aim at Dasus. @Romulus, I'm not sure if your readied action triggers? You have line of sight to Dasus, but not to Yellow. Do you need it for your ranged aid another shenanigans?

crossbow, bless: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 regardless, that misses.

Altovin's life link heals Dasus for 5.

Yanda, Altovin, Courage, Ylosani (need full round action for Will save to get unparalyzed) may act!

Move Action: Pickup Wand.

Standard Action: Use it on himself.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 11 Woo!

"Dasus, if you can hear me...keep hanging on. I know it hurts...a lot! Courage back up on Yanda's shoulder." he calls out while stepping back a little further (since these guys are a pain in the ass, lol).

Yanda moves forward and lets loose another bomb, this time at the red caster, even though she knows this will draw fire. She is determined to protect Darius by interposing herself between the crossbowman and the vulnerable paladin.

+9/2d6+6, 8 splash bomb [rng: 20 ft; 20/x2*; fire] (+3[BAB] +3[dex] +1[throw anything] +1[pblank] +1[inspired]/2d6 +4[int] +1[pblank] +1[inspired]); DC 15 Reflex save for half splash damage

Ylosani's fist clenches on his katana and he blinks furiously, his jaw working.

Will Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

And he manages by sheer force of will to break the hold that holds him (I assume.)

Altovin heals himself from the damage he had taken, while Courage perches on Yanda's shoulder.

Yanda moves into the room, drawing attacks from the snake and Orange...
snake bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
shortsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
... but her armor is too tough for them to penetrate.

Her bomb catches Tarrin Dars squarely in the face and setting her ablaze...
Green Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Yellow Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
... and catching two of her comrades in the fiery splash.

Meanwhile, Ylosani manages to shake himself free from the magical paralysis that had taken hold of him.

fire dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Still on fire, Dars advances towards the nefarious bomber and attempts to skewer her with her rapier. "May the power of Norgorber drive my blade!"
rapier: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
But again the tough armor protects Yanda from any harm.

Green draws and drinks a potion.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

The metal snake advances into the hall to attack...
Altovin 1, Romulus 2: 1d2 ⇒ 2
bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
... but his bite cannot pierce Romulus' armor.

Dasus remains blinded and stunned.

Purple swings at the reinvigorated Ylosani.
shortsword, flank: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 2 = 15
... but these pathfinders are too heavily armored for this band of bandits.

Orange also attempts to stab the tengu warrior.
shortsword, flank: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 2 = 19
... and the Splinters begin to ponder the meaning of futility.

Start of Round 5

Romulus is up!

Romulus yelps as the snake bites at him and back pedals.

Niiice snake... good boy...

After stepping back he takes a shot at the thing...

Romulus fires an arrow at the snake and hits it, but it doesn't seem to harm it all. It has DR.

Blue stabilization: 1d20 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (1) + 2 - 3 = 0

Yellow steps back and drinks a potion.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Altovin's lifelink with Dasus once again heals his wounds.

Yanda, Altovin, and Ylosani are up!

knowledge arcana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 to understand the snake. Looking for energy resistances or other weird defenses. Yanda moves to the center of the room drawing AoO from red and orange, then smashes a bomb on the floor at her feet splashing all the enemies except the cobra.

To hit floor: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27; DC 15 reflex ST for half, take 8 damage.

Didn't want to take a chance that I would miss - and 40 points of damage is nothing to sneeze at. :)

Ylosani flinches as Yanda fills the room with fire, yet it somehow misses him. He gives her a nod of approval at her control over her art before taking a step toward her.

It should help keep his opponents from being able to attack him from both sides but still give him the opportunity to attack them.

He slashes at orange to keep his attention on him and not on Dasus.

Yanda is certain that the metal snake is an Iron Cobra, typically a small neutral construct. The iron cobra is a simple construct that resembles a hooded cobra made out of metal. The iron cobra is typically used as a bodyguard or guardian of treasure. She recalls that they are resistant to all weapons (DR /-), have spell resistance, and have the usual traits of constructs.

Red AoO vs Yanda: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Orange AoO vs Yanda: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

The brazen alchemist runs around the battlefield as if no one could possibly hit her and then smashes one of her bombs right at her feet. Somehow, it does not affect her or her friends at all.

Red Reflex DC 15: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19 No dmg

Purple Reflex DC 15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Tarrin Dars twists and turns and manages to avoid any harm from the splash, but the others are all wounded by it.

Meanwhile, Ylosani deals a grievous blow to Orange, who reels from the blow.

Altovin is up!

"Wow, that is amazing Yanda." Altovin marvels as the flames spread perfectly around their allies.

He steps back heals himself while Courage now flies to the closer Romulus and provides him with guidance.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 8

Guidance on Romulus.

"It's amazing what you can do with fire. That cobra thing is going to be a tough one for the rest of you. It brushes off spells and it's metal form makes it particularly resistant to most weapons. You are going to need something pretty heavy to pierce its hide. Or you could try fire :)"

Altovin heals himself, while Courage gives Romulus some divine guidance.

Tarrin Dars continues to burn from Yanda's bomb.
fire dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 5
She snarls at all of you, draws a potion, drinks it, and disappears!

Green drops his crossbow, draws his shortsword, and moves up to engage Yanda.

The metal snake lunges forward at Romulus.
bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
... but again is unable to pierce his armor.

Dasus remains blinded and stunned.

Purple steps forward 5' and swings at Ylosani.
shortsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
... pointlessly.

Orange steps back 5', draws a potion, and drinks it.

Putting Romulus on delay - I would bot but I'm not really sure what he would do here given the snake's DR.

Blue stabilization: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 2 - 4 = 4

Yellow draws his shortsword and moves into a flanking position on Yanda.

Altovin's magical link with Dasus heals him again. Now he has barely a scratch!

Romulus, Yanda, Altovin, Ylosani are up!

Ylosani does not like the fact that one of their opponents has disappeared. There's not much he can do about it, though. He doesn't really like the fact that two of his opponents are flanking Yanda, now, either.

He CAN do something about that, and takes a cut at the yellow brigand with his sword.

Ylosani deals a powerful blow to Yellow, knocking him off of his feet.

Romulus, Yanda, and Altovin are up!

Romulus gulps and backs up... this is not good... He makes a full withdraw between him and snake... maybe he can at least draw it after him? He keeps up his performance!

Yanda takes a couple of steps back (route shown with line), carelessly drawing AoOs and then tries to plaster Purple, hoping the caster is not right there.

Romulus seems to dislike snakes even more than casters; the drum playing archer moves to the back.

Yanda changes position and throws another bomb. (Yanda, as noted in Conditions, you'll need to make a Climb or Acrobatics check to cross the pews. However, since Yellow is down there's no reason you can't just move through his square, which I'll assume is what you did.)

Green AoO: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Hapless Green flails at Yanda as she moves away but she is unperturbed.

Her bomb hits Purple squarely in the face, knocking him to the floor. (Can't bombs crit? If so, you've got a confirmation roll waiting for you)

Green Reflex DC 15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Orange Reflex DC 15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
The splash from her bomb knocks two more of the Splinters to the ground. Things are not looking good for the gang - the only member still visible on the battlefield is the iron cobra.

Yanda takes a moment to look and see if there's any sign of Tarrin Dars, but with all the noise and smoke and heat from her own bombs, she's not able to spot her.

Altovin is up! Remember that you dropped your weapon earlier when you were stunned and I don't think you ever retrieved it or drew another one.

Yeah, I forgot to pick up the weapon but grabbed the wand. it was in another square, I forget which one.

Altovin begins to wish his weapon was still with him but quickly jumps back from the snake before healing himself with the wand. Minimum 5.

"Get that contraption away from me. Dasus have you come back to yet, I could use your help." he calls out his voice wavering but Guidance stays with him giving him Guidance.

The snake moves towards Altovin and tries to take a bite.

... but it is not his lucky day.

Dasus blinks, as his vision now returns, though he is still not ready to act. Stunned for 1 more round.
