GM Abraham's Emerald Spire

Game Master Abraham Z.

In a hurry to get out of that furnace, Onjatan moves into the room. As he does, the spirits swirling about him lash out at the bearded devil.

Spirit Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29 vs Yellow
Negative energy damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

This mummy didn't seem bothered by being on fire. Was it soaking in water before they came in? Keep that in mind. For now, occupy the minion.

Onjatan closes the gap with the devil, hoping to prevent it from setting up a flank on Mykel. Most devils were immune to fire, and this one definitely had the right resistances... better stick with rock. Responding to the thought, a stone club forms in his hand as he swings.

Will draw an attack of opportunity from the glaive on the way in; AC 31
Attack: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 2 + 1 = 16 Good Hope, Haste, no Araga

And misses.

Um... why was everyone running into the sealed door? With footsteps coming at them from further in, and... probably some of the sylph's bombs?

And there goes Onjatan. Oh dear.

Araga burrows over a little, under where the wall stands, then up inside the wall towards the ceiling. She then carefully peeks out until she finds the edge of the wall.

Oh.

Move south 1 square, then west 1 square, then up to right under the ceiling height of the furnace room. Then peek out into the mummy room, moving down if the ceiling in there is lower. Intent is to be up near the ceiling, since floor space seems at a premium, but "inside" the room for purposes of being affected and affecting Onjatan.

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 2 = 15 With Good Hope

Firefall at the top of the round

Araga - 17 dmg; DR 1/-; antiplague (21:20); burrowing underground;

Onjatan moves into the room and feels an aura of doom surround him. Will save needed;

The spirits that surround Onjatan courtesy of Shiva strike the Yellow bearded devil.

The devil swings its glaive at Onjatan as he moves into the room.
Glaive, PA: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 - 2 = 16
20% miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 93

Start of Round 2 (aka Round 5)

Will this firefall ever end?: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 3, 6) = 14

Only Yanda and Shiva are still in range of the fire; the firewarden is unperturbed but poor Shiva catches fire.

The smoke fills the entire area. All the pathfinders are able to resist its effects except Mykel whose defenses are weakened by feeling fearful and sick to his stomach. Now, on top of all that, he can do nothing but cough and hack. Mykel, no actions for this round and you take:
nonlethal dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Yanda and Shiva are up!

Potentially-funny question: is the barbazu immune to the smoke?

Yanda flies up next to Mykel (and above him), takes out a Holy Weapon Balm, and applies it to Mykel's weapon of choice (assumedly his rapier).

Taking a breath now that she is out of the smoke, she says, "Mind if I add this to your weapon, Mykel? It should help against the mummy."

Frankly, lobbing bombs when there is a large miss chance is not the best idea.

Onjatan moves into the room and feels an aura of doom surround him. Will save needed;

Will: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 = 13 +1 if mind-affecting, additional +1 if also a spell or SLA, additional +2 if has the good/evil/chaotic descriptor

Mykel holds out his falcata as he tries to keep his lunch down.

Sure... he says weakly between retches.

Sorry, month end has had me busy this week. Playing catch up and unfortunately probably causing more retcons

Will, good hope: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 2 = 16

Will, good hope: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 11 + 2 = 33

Spellcraft, good hope: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 2 = 20

goodbye 4th level spells

Recognizing Unholy Blight Shiva begins to scream her call to the ancestors.

Song of Arcane Manipulation, two 4th level spell slots and 4 rounds of raging song to counterspell as an immediate action.

A silent scream rings in the devil's ears as, throat raw, Shiva ends her call to the spirits.

Ear Piercing Scream, DC 18 Fortitude: 5d8 ⇒ (5, 6, 2, 6, 8) = 27
end performance, Lingering performance for 2 rounds.

Song of Arcane Manipulation, two 4th level spell slots and 4 rounds of raging song to counterspell as an immediate action.

Why 2 4th level slots? I think you could do 1 4th level slot or 2 2nd level slots, as long as the total is 4 spell levels. The example in the ability description only has the charcter expending 1 3rd level slot to counter a 3rd level spell.

because I don't have a 4th level evocation spell yet. It's one spell if I match or two if I don't. 11th level my greater counterspell will let me counter 1 to 1 regardless of school.

Potentially-funny question: is the barbazu immune to the smoke?

Good catch! Nope!

Chomper Fort vs smoke: 1d20 ⇒ 4
nonlethal from choking: 1d6 ⇒ 2

The bearded devil hacks and coughs like a three pack a day smoker!

Yanda flies up next to Mykel (and above him), takes out a Holy Weapon Balm, and applies it to Mykel's weapon of choice (assumedly his rapier).

Yanda, do you have enough actions to do this? I think it's: move action to move (unless you only took a 5' step?), move action to retrieve (unless the balm was in a wrist sheath?), and standard action to apply

Onjatan is horrified by the vileness surrounding them and can't help but be somewhat shaken to be trapped deep underground with this monstrous creature.

Onjatan, you are Shaken.

When Shiva catches sight of the mummy she is paralyzed with fear, unable to move, speak, or act!

Shiva, you can retcon the rest of your actions (counterspelling (recover both spells and rounds of raging song) and casting ear-piercing scream) as not having occurred due to the failed Will save. I'll let you know when the paralysis is no longer in effect. What happens to your performance since you are paralyzed? I assume no singing but perhaps it keeps working with Lingering?

spell dmg for Shiva (due to being a good outsider): 7d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 1, 3, 2, 2) = 20
Even paralyzed, Shiva is able to resist the worst effects of the unholy blight. Half dmg and not sickened due to successful save

Shiva fire dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 5
The skald continues to burn but fortunately her natural fire resistance protects her.

Btw, you have all now been exposed to the Despair aura (and are therefore immune going forward) so I'm removing the notes from the init card to save some space.

Yarrix looks at her one remaining minion with disgust as he uselessly coughs and retches like some kind of ridiculous mortal.

The shadowy miasma that had accompanied her unholy blight finally fades away. The effect that caused 20% and 50% miss chances has ended, which is sure to delight Yanda!

"Hastur, make these foul do-gooders rue the day the chose to disturb the rest of your faithful servant!"
Yarrix calls upon the power of Hastur to strike down these impertinent invaders, seemingly unconcerned that she will also harm her pet devil!

Channel Negative Energy: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 2) = 9

Chomper Will: 1d20 ⇒ 2
The devil takes the full force of the unholy energy!

Yanda takes the full force of Hastur's vile energy but fortunately her Ablative Barrier protects her somewhat. This also absorbs your remaining temp hp.

Shiva is able to resist the worst of the channel even in her paralyzed condition. half dmg, but your resist negative 10 means you take no dmg.

Onjatan cannot resist the foul power of the Great Old One. full dmg

Mykel also feels negative energy pulsing through his being. full dmg

Yarrix moves backwards a bit to get away from that ugly looking falcata and she also crouches behind her sarcophagus to try to give herself some protection from Yanda's bombs. Cover.

Onjatan, it's your turn before round 3 starts but for simplicity's sake I'm resolving the firefall now so that everyone in the party can act.

Start of Round 3

Outside on the landing, the seemingly endless rain of fire finally comes to an end, the oil in the trap's reservoirs at last exhausted.

Unfortunately, the smoke continues...
Now that the firefall is over, please just roll a DC 16 Fort at the start of your turn vs the smoke. If you fail, no actions for this round and 1d6 non-lethal (which you can roll yourself). Yanda doesn't need to roll due to air crystals (but note that you can't speak).

Shiva finds her powers of mobility restored to her! Lucky! I rolled just 1 round for the paralysis duration.

Pathfinders are up! The bold may act! Don't forget your Fort vs Smoke at the start of your turn.

Edit: oops, just realized that I missed that Yanda has moved within the aura of doom...
Yanda Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 reroll vs. control, talisman of freedom, greater pentacle talisman (2nd save)
Yanda too cannot resist the horror of the situation and becomes Shaken.

Btw, just since I know you will be wondering. I have been taking into account the +2 from Good Hope. You are all also unfortunately under the effect of a Prayer (cast before you entered) which gives you all -1 on saves/attacks, dmg rolls. I've just been applying this myself (though I think I've forgotten to reduce your dmg rolls). And in this case that's just enough to transform Good Hope's success into a fail...

Also, just to gripe, the author of this scenario did a terrible job of choosing Yarrix's spells and it's also really annoying to have multiple auras in effect with different radii. Yeesh!

I was thinking hasted gave an extra action, but it is only an extra attack on a full turn action. But when you move you can draw something so couldn't that be a vial? If not, then she will have to wait a turn (this turn) to deliver the oil.

im ok with waiting for yanda to apply it...could use some healing too...just saying

RAW, when you move (if you have a BAB of +1 or higher) you can draw a weapon as part of the move action. But not other items. Hence the value of springloaded wrist sheathes. And also my appreciation for how 2e's action economy makes these kinds of questions so much easier.

Note that applying the oil (on the coming turn) will use your standard action, not a move action.

That is fine. I'd rather that Mykel has the bonus than Yanda do her attack.

the save dc for the channel is over 20? i just noticed that...holy crap...

Mykel darts around to get in close to the mummy, hoping the weapon balm Yanda applied helps drop her. He lashes out in a blur of steel and prepares to fend off any return attack.

attack, hasted: 1d20 + 21 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 21 + 1 = 41

frost: 1d6 ⇒ 4
flame: 1d6 ⇒ 1

edit...i'm using my re roll for the parry...

with the crit and frot/flame damge...is the extra at x2 damage or is it based on the weapon?

forgot to add the damage from holy weapon balm on my attack...not sure if it applies to a crit, if so, double or triple it

holy weapon damage: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

Yanda applies the balm to Mykel's falcata.

Mykel fort vs smoke: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 +1 disease/poison
Mykel resists the smoke and moves to clobber the mummy. He strikes a powerful blow, grievously wounding her. Mykel, remember that Bless Weapon makes your crit threats auto-confirm vs evil foes. Moot in this case but just fyi.

Mykel, also reminder that you are Shaken, Sickened, and have Prayer against you, as well as Good Hope in your favor for a net of -3 on your attacks, -3 on your saves, and +0 on dmg rolls. It's still a crit regardless but fyi for future reference.

Mykel's strike doesn't do quite as much damage as expected (DR) but the cold appears to be particularly effective (vulnerability) and the fire doesn't seem to do anything. Note that all the "extra" damage is not multiplied on a crit. Total net dmg from Mykel including the Balm was 62.

Mummy reflex vs balm: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Shiva and Onjatan are up!

the save dc for the channel is over 20? i just noticed that...holy crap...

Well, remember that you have a net of -3 on your saves right now (+2 from Good Hope, -5 from Sickened, Shaken, and Prayer.

After applying the balm, Yanda moves to the opposite side of the room.

i completely blanked on the penalties...sorry...gotta pay closer attention...thats 100% on me

Onjatan pauses briefly, face subtly twitching.

Then, he pulls out a silver warhammer and swings it at his foe.

Includes good hope, Araga, haste, shaken, and anti-prayer
Attack: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 2 + 1 + 1 - 2 - 1 = 19
Bludgeoning silver damage: 1d8 + 5 + 2 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 + 1 - 1 = 13

Prayer is a burst, not an emanation - the effect gets applied at the time the spell is cast. If the door was closed, it wouldn't have had line of effect to the PCs, and wouldn't have affected us.

EDIT: Fort vs smoke: 1d20 + 12 + 2 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 2 - 2 - 1 = 13

Then he starts coughing.

Araga does her best to brace against that unholy power. still wanting to help Onjatan as much as she can... he was looking quite wounded, wasn't he?

Will vs channel energy: 1d20 + 3 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 2 - 1 = 24

Araga did enter the room this turn

Prayer is a burst, not an emanation - the effect gets applied at the time the spell is cast. If the door was closed, it wouldn't have had line of effect to the PCs, and wouldn't have affected us.

An excellent distinction that I'd never noticed before. Fortunately I'm pretty sure that the -1 from Prayer hasn't made the difference for anyone so far.

Araga resists the worst of the negative energy channel.

Araga Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 Elemental immunities

She also manages to resist the fearful aura of the mummy.

Araga, where are you on the map? I don't see you. If you are within 20' of the mummy please also give me another Will save vs Aura of Doom.

Shiva fire dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 6`Shiva continues to burn and even takes a tiny scratch from it this time around.

Shiva is up (and no longer paralyzed!)

Correct, Lingering performance would keep the benefits active during the round Shiva is paralyzed.

Shaking off the momentary fear Shiva begins a new call to the spirits.

+1 and frost, Onjatan can benefit now

And unleashes her inaudible scream at the devil before her.

Claw 1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
B/S Dmg: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Claw 2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
B/S Dmg: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Only one of the claws manages to connect and most of the damage from it is absorbed by Yanda's Ablative Barrier.

Yarrix once again calls upon her foul god for aid.
Channel negative energy: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 5, 3) = 14

Yanda and Araga take the full force of the channel, with Yanda's Ablative Barrier once again absorbing some of the harm, while the others in the group resist the worst of it, and Shiva is able to emerge unscathed. Poor Araga is barely conscious, teetering on the edge of falling over. At 0 hp and now Disabled.

Yarrix steps back five feet.

Onjatan and Araga may act at the end of Round 3.
Start of Round 4
Yanda, Mykel, and Shiva may act at the start of Round 4. Note that Haste will expire just before Shiva's turn.
Don't forget Fort saves at the start of your turn vs the smoke!

Yanda floats forward 5 feet to close a bit with the antagonistic mummy. Finally free to unload a full salvo of her bombs she launches a rapid fire of them.

Fortitude vs smoke: 1d20 + 12 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 12 + 2 - 2 = 31

Onjatan clears his lungs briefly. The spirits surrounding him tear into the only remaining living foe.

Spirit Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34
Negative energy damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Spirit crit confirmation: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
Extra crit damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Onjatan's actual actions will depend on whether Green is still up; I suspect he's not. Since Onjatan acts before Shiva, he still has haste up

Mykel tries to clear his lungs before trying to close with his foe.

fort: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 2 = 9

He unleashes a flurry of attacks at Yarrix, trying to drop him as quickly as he can.

flame: 1d6 ⇒ 5

spirit attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21
damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
unsure if the penalties apply to the spirit attack

Fort Save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Shiva continues her ancestral calls as she rushes forward to help Mykel.

Spirit Totem Attack (if devil is still standing): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
negative energy damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Her rapier stabs at the mummy.

Attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
damage, magical, adamantine: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
cold: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Yanda hurls bombs at Yarrix while hovering next to the bearded devil, provoking a strike from him.

Claw 1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
... but she is too hard to hit.

Both of Yanda's bombs hit! Though Yarrix's hearing appears to be unaffected.

Onjatan's spirits slay Chomper (the Yellow bearded devil)!

Mykel once again falls prey to the smoke and spends the round coughing and choking.

Shiva moves forward and stabs at the mummy but cannot get past her defenses.

Onjatan is up!

With the devil down, Onjatan takes advantage the last dregs of Shiva's spell to move in. He draws a dusty-looking katana on the way, swinging it one-handed at the mummy and calling "H e r e !"

Ooooh. Oh, that was... not good. "Sorry"

Araga ducks back into the wall for safety.

Onjatan rushes forward and strikes poor Yarrix a deadly blow. A hit but not a crit. Much of the damage from his strike is absorbed by the mummy's bandages but the cold seems to be especially effective (vulnerable). She looks momentarily startled, as if this was the last thing she expected after millennia imprisoned in this tomb, but then, before she can make a villainous speech, she falls flat on her face, finally, truly, *dead*!

Combat over. Pathfinders are victorious!

Whew, y'all had me a little worried there! Nice work.

No worries. The dungeon likes to neutralize one or more of us to keep things challenging.

"A mummy resistant to fire and vulnerable to cold? What next? A good demon? I think we need to see what is inside the sarcophagus. And maybe examine the flaming room now that we have time. I'd like to leave this place as safe as we can before we leave it."

Fort vs smoke: 1d20 + 12 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 2 - 2 = 26

"W a i t .." Onjatan steps between Yanda and the sarcophagus. he then reaches into his pack and retrieves two wands, helpfully tagged "Cure Light Wounds" and "Infernal Healing".

"A r a g a . f i r s t .."

Is Onjatan still shaken? Do we know how long that lasts?

An unsteady Araga makes her way through the wall and floor, to peek aboveground at Onjatan's feet.

Single-moves, so probably 3 rounds before she could get to the north side of the sarcophagus

"Sure, I'm in no hurry."

I have a wand that can help, but it may not be enough for everyone.

Onjatan holds the wands towards Shiva, since Yanda doesn't seem to be taking them.

Would prefer Infernal Healing (cheaper and I've got more charges left), but that takes time and it's not on the alchemist/bard lists. Other than that, I've still got 24 charges of CLW. Araga could use at least +30hp and Onjatan +50hp.

Make sure they're first... Mykel says as he points to Araga and Onjatan.i have clw wand as well..lots of charges..feel free to use them on everybody...i dont care...lol

Go ahead and heal up - we are out of initiative. All your various conditions (Shaken etc.) eventually expire and you feel as good as new.

It takes about 10 minutes for the smoke to finally clear from the room, but without any active threats this is merely an annoyance to the seasoned adventurers.

Exploring the sarcophagus and the rest of the chamber, the pathfinders find a magical staff. Yarrix was also wearing a magical ring though it's hard to imagine the graverobbers pathfinders would stoop to stealing from the dead undead.

In addition, a battered journal contains a page on which is drawn an Emerald Spire level sigil.

You also see the door at the far end of the tomb - the same that you unsuccessfully attempted to unlock earlier. You note that Yarrix has the key.

Spellcraft, staff: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

Spellcraft, ring: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

If no one can read that I have a spell that will let me.

If no one has Aklo or Azlanti Shiva has Comprehend Languages
