Qstor's Outpost II PFS 10-2 Bones of Biting Ants (FULL) (Inactive)

Game Master Qstor

sorry you're starting on the left of slide 7

yeah the ants have DR 5/bludgeoning; Immune undead traits, and Burst when they die, creatures adjecent need to make a save. Your character would think it odd that they're undead and not genuine living ants.

I'm just using block initiative

Ash stays well back and blasts the closest undead ant with a magic missile.

Damage 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4, 3) + 3 = 13

Untir moves forwards, and summons forth his spirits, sending them forward in a blast of supernatural flames!

5d4 ⇒ (1, 2, 2, 2, 2) = 9 Ref DC16 for half

Sothkoro casts his spell on himself towards one of the ants, ready to put his body between the ants and the party.

Heroism on myself.

Sothkoro, you might want to move the other side of Untir, in front of the south ant? So that's there enough space for Vivienne.

Ant1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

Ant2: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Both Ant's take full damage from the fiery spirits. Ant 1 wounded by the magic missile dies.

Ant 2 9 damage

Serpantfang is up!

I'm going to bot Serpantfang to keep the game moving

Vivienne attacks the ant near her.

bite: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

The snake near Sothkoro dies.

He casts thundercloud on the remaining ant.

Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

It makes it's save.

bad ant is up!

The remaining ant tries to bite Sothkoro.

bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 The nagaji dodges it's mandibles!

Round 2 pathfinders are up again!

sorry for some reason I could't get the ACTUAL map of this room to work with the tokens so I'm using the current map which is the map of the last encounter.

Sothkoro is shocked that the snake died suddenly. He steps to the side and attempts to crush the ant with his shield.

do we have to make some sort of saves when the ant dies? Sothkoro's herorism gives him a +2 on saves

mwk shield, heroism: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 2 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

without the improved shield bash feat, Sothkoro's AC is 19 for this turn

Ash delays to see the if the others can finish off the ant without him using a spell.

If not, he casts another magic missile.

Damage 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 4, 1) + 3 = 12

lol I meant the ant. Yeah it's a DC 11 fort save

last ant 17 damage.

Rest of the party is up!

Untir turns his attention to the remaining zombie ant as he moves closer, redirecting his spirits to swarm over the creature to harass and distract it.

Misfortune hex: will DC17 or take lower of 2d20s for 1 round.

Fort Save, heroism: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 = 15

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

The ant saves vs the misfortune.

Sothkoro wards off the dust that spreads from the undead ant.

botting Serpantfang to move forward

Vivienne attacks the ant near.

bite: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

She crushes the snake.

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

she fails the save but it only last one round

Combat over!

Searching the area you find the larvae that the gremlin asked for and some scattered gold.

ready for the last fight? You guys haven't had much trouble with the ants.

Ash was ready to finish out the adventure.

Untir stores away the larvae, but remembers that there is another task that the gremlin had requested. "Something evil resides here to have turned this creatures into undeads. Let's go and finish this grim task."

Sorry guys for some reason the site wasn’t showing new posts so I figured the holiday was just slowing us down...sorry! Ah, yes deeper in a bet we find what we need, but I’m sure She already knows...Vivienne lead us further in please. Serpentfang sends Vivienne up front if no one else objects using her dark vision and Smell she stealth-fully continues on. Serpentfang will also cast light on his spear and walk towards the back.
Stealth Vivi: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Serpantfang moves up.

This chamber is clearly the heart of the anthill. The walls have a
wavy, sculpted quality to them in contrast to the sandier, rougher
tunnels, and several different entrances lead into the room. A high
mound of earth rises in the room’s center; interestingly, it seems
to be decorated with bits of stick, rock, and even some bones, as
though it were a dais or throne.

you guys are up and coming from the left side of the map. You see a large ant atop a rise

"Can anyone hear what they are saying, or did we eat termites for no reason??"

I assume we haven't been wandering around for more than 40 minutes since the last encounter?

As he sees the massive ant, he casts one of his few precious spells, and suddenly there are more than one Sothkoro, standing there.

mirror image: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Assuming the ants don't know we're there yet.

Untir attempts to listen in.

perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20

Untir sees the ants including the large ant on the rock out cropping.

what does everyone else do?

Ash suggests approaching the ant a bit closer to see if it is undead as well. No reason for extra bloodshed, if it can be helped.

Serpentfang and Vivienne are waiting on the others to finish what they are doing before approaching any closer.

Untir can roll Knowledge religion?

knowledge(religion): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Untir takes a moment to study the ants.

Untir realizes all the ants in the room are also undead.

What do you guys do?

You guys ok if we just attack? The nuno requires us to kill her. And besides, Untir won't suffer an undead to "live".

They're ants, and they aren't talking to us, even though we ate those termites to talk to them. So rude. Unless anyone has any other buffs they want to throw on either themselves or Sothkoro, I say let's rock and roll.

As a fight seems imminent, Ash uses his Mage Armor wand to gain some protection. He stashes the wand away and is ready to engage.

anyone want to strike the first blow? lol

So we get one free round of combat?

Realising that these ants are similarly been turned into undeads, Untir is filled with disgust. He moves on quickened feet into the room and releases another blast of fire onto two of the ants.

burning hands: 5d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 2, 1, 4) = 14 Ref DC16 for half

I presume it is less than 50min since we came here? If so, Vivienne's barkskin is still on. +2AC.

Vivienne protect me from that beast!
Vivienne begins slithering towards the even bigger Ant. AC: 23
Serpentfang then follows behind Untir and combines to make a huge flamethrower.
Burning Hands: 4d4 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 2) = 8 DC:15 Ref for half

Ash moves 30’ into the room (if someone would be so kind as to move me, please) and fires a magic missile at the largest ant.

Damage 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1, 4) + 3 = 9

Sothkoro rushes into the room and goes straight for the largest target.

double move. Remember, Sothkoro has 2 mirror images up, so has a 2/3 miss chance on any attacks.

The party rushes in and attacks the undead ants with fire and force. While Sothkoro moves up with his trident.

The ants try to avoid the fire.

ant 1

Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

ant 3

Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

They burn a bit but stand.

One Ant bites at Untir but can't grab hold.

bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Another bites and stings at Ash.

sting: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

She who devours mumbles in a loud voice

The ant near her bites and stings at Sothkoro.

bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

sting: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

The undead queen strikes at him as well.

damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (2, 1) + 7 = 10

mirror image hits on 1-2: 1d6 ⇒ 5

another Fort Save

One of the mirror images is gone!

Very tiny ants at the end of the round move around Sothkoro. damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 Another Fort Save please

Ant 1 18 damage Ant 3 15 damage, She Who devours 9 damage Ash 7 damage, Sothkoro -1 hp

The nagaji skald falls bleeding from the sting and tiny ant infestation.

Party is up again!

Sothkoro, I could heal you but that would only leave you prone directly in front of the queen and the ant. Let me try to clear things a bit.

Untir grunts when he sees Sothkoro fall. He pauses briefly considering his options, but bringing Sothkoro back now does not seem wise strategically. Thus, ignoring the ant directly in front of him, Untir releases his spirits in a burst of divine energy, bursting through all the undead ants. He then pulls a scroll (cure serious wound) out into his hand just in case.

channel energy to damage undeads: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 6) = 16 will DC15 for half damage

Untir calls upon the power of his god to damage the undead. It washes over the ants destroying two but scratches the queen. Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

What damage is Sothkoro taking being near the queen ant?

it's an Extraordinary ability - Infestation (Ex) An infestation of ants nesting within She-Who-Devours’s exoskeleton surrounds her out to radius of 5 feet. Any creature takes 1d6 points of damage at the end of each round it remains in the area.

Untir seeing how badly hurt Vivenne is as well, decides to send his spirits to out to heal his teammates. He then moves up behind Sothkoro in case he needs more help.

channel energy to heal: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 5) = 9 excluding enemies

Serpentfang continues with the same actions as before hoping to kill the ant before it takes anyone else’s life. Vivienne attack from the other side! Handle Animal: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28 Vivienne slithers 15ft NW.

The snake collapses. The 2nd ant dies but She who devours falls from the magic missiles.

Combat Over!

I'm assuming you heal Vivenne

Searching the area, the party finds the amberhollow relic.

assuming you return to the gremlin with the queens head and some larve

Bujune the gremlin lifts the curse on Stuinvolk. He is notably less tense, on the return journey and with his curse removed, sometimes even segues into something that approaches happy. He still has traumas to work through, of course, as he isn’t “cured” of his past, but this expedition helps to put a lot of his ghosts to rest. He mentions that while he doesn’t see himself doing fieldwork again, he might consider working in a supporting capacity at the lodge level.

The end!
