"NOOOOOOooooooooOooo...!" The giant bellows, as the lance strikes him again.

The Giant collapses.

Accelerated by Ikit's curious powers, Thunderhoof lumbers forward to gore the ursine attacking his companion.

Gore: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35
Damage: 2d6 + 30 ⇒ (3, 4) + 30 = 37

Accepting the rage, Chak moves up and slashes at the bear.

The bear is not looking too good.

Looking at the killing speed of his companions he takes in the rage of Thunderhoof, moving around the bear, knowing it would provoke him before lashing out at the bear

Attack, cold iron scimitar: 1d20 + 8 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 8 = 34
Damage, cold iron: 1d6 + 1 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 8 = 10

Damage, cold iron: 1d6 + 1 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 8 = 14

CHarlie decides it's time to uncork the big gun: channeling the power of his spell through his Empowered Rod, a the bear is engulfed in another fireball.

fire damage: 10d6 + 20 ⇒ (5, 3, 2, 4, 4, 2, 5, 3, 3, 5) + 20 = 56
Empowered dmg 84
Dc 19 for half damage (i.e. 42).

Upon seeing his friends land the killing blow on the last foe, Chaine yells a shout of victory, a short moment of defiance against this dark dimension that is eating them alive, against the very darkness that has spawned undead and fueled evil priests for all the Ages thus far.

Yeah I'm not rolling that; he's dead.

Success Reported.

You have 20 minutes until you get to the next site.
Do whatever prep you need and I will have it ready shortly.

Thunderhoof will hit himself with heroism.

Grimaldus will chill for a moment, throw a channel to the rest of the party to mock the minor negative plane for being unable to harm them. After that he will go play nice with Silvermane and scratch the mighty beast under his chin and removing the negative level due to someone not playing nice.

I will use my restoration, unless someone has a scroll for it

Channel: 6d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 6, 1, 4, 4) = 20

Chaine thanks Brother Grimaldus and shakes his hand. Chaine inquires if Thunderhoof can throw one of his legendary good hope blessings up before they cross back to the Prime Material Plane. Fly spell is still active for more than 5min so I'm ready if you all are.

Do you really need a good hope? You already 1-2 shot everything in this scenario. =P

Do you really need a good hope? You already 1-2 shot everything in this scenario. =P

And I haven't even used Blessing of Fervor yet :P

Hey... you never know... this is my 4th time playing Solstice Scar and that last encounter is absolutely brutal. Prepare yourselves.

Yeah, charging for over 90 damage per charge tends to end encounters quick, doesn't it? In that first round, the giant had gotten down to 1 hit point and only recovered due to the negative energy.

You arrive at the place to do the thing and stop the stuff. Scary ghost women laugh at you from within the darkness.

What do, Pathfinders?

Why that's simple GM, we roll initiative!

Great Idea!

Alrighty, so this encounter starts you 60ft away from the edge of the darkness, but I was lazy and didn't cut/paste the entire map cause I like larger figures. When you move within range, please place yourselves on the map.

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30

Knowledge question: Special attacks?

Will wait with my action once I know the knowledge question

Bleed, Infectious Laughter, and Paralysis are their special attacks.

Thunderhoof bellows his raging song as he lumbers toward the site of the battle.

Move 40 forward. Inspire rage.

+4 constitution (morale)
+4 strength (enhancement)
+3 will saves (morale)
-1 armor class
Access to savage dirty trick (DC 27)

Religion: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

"Hmm, ghostly women. Anyone know if they are actually incorporeal?"

Nah they solid, fam'.

Ikit says an incantation and pushes off the ground and moves along side Thunderhoof. Ikit casts fly on himself and moves 40'.

He wanted to give a warning about the special attack from the 2 creatures but Ikit and Thunderhoof bursted into a quick run and were gone before a warning could be given. Turning to his other 3 companions he provided them with the info on what they were and what special attacks they had. With that done a quick incantation was cast on his shield to ward off any evil attacks and then he moved 40" forward

magic circle against evil on the shield

Chak will read a scroll of haste targeting himself and anyone still in range (up to 4 other targets).

No elemental resistances.

Charlie's fireball hits the Harionagos hard. They offer their retort.

Both of the Harionagos move further back, and blast Thunderhoof with negative energy!

Let's bully these 2 undead...

Seeing the 2 creatures targetting the massive bull next to him the young vindicator grin, placing his hand on the massive flank of Thunderhoof they can be seen to hop, into time and space, appearing ever so often in the path till both of them are next to the Harianago's. "Forgive me for what is about to happen, your lives have been brutal and you should rest in peace, Sarenrae, guide these souls to the afterlife..."

16/16 Dimension hops used, taking Thunderhoof with me to have him cuddle the 2 Harionagos and let him explain why it was a bad idea for the attacks....

Not wanting to destroy his lance further, Chaine draws his cold iron heavy pick for the next encounter. Still flying on Silvermane's magical winds, the cavalier spurs the mount into a charge.

Swift Action to Grant Laswall Phalanx on Entire Party; MW Cold Iron Heavy Pick, Mounted, Cavalier Charge, Banner, Flank, Skald Goodness (Spirited Charge): 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 1 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 3 = 31 for 1d6 + 3 + 3 + 1d6 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 3 + (5) + 3 + 3 = 19

Grimaldus and Thunderhoof enter the negative area.

Negative Energy Damage: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (7, 8, 2) + 3 = 20
Sorry but there really isn't a knowledge for this one.

Ouch. I suppose it's a good thing these guys are targeting Thunderhoof instead of the cavalier that can one-shot them.

Now that we’ve triggered it, is it clear what causes that negative energy damage? Is that something that goes off every round or only the first time you enter the area?

The tip of Charlie's tongue hangs outside his mouth as he tries to figure out how to squeeze a fireball in there without hurting his mates. Then he sighs and uncorks a persistent fireball that only barely catches the blue enemy.

fire dmg: 10d6 + 20 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 5, 1, 2, 5, 4, 1, 4) + 20 = 51
Roll twice and take worse of Reflex save, DC:19 for half

If you start your turn in the area or enter the area, you take damage.

Numbers: 2d20 ⇒ (8, 19) = 27
The Harianago bursts into flames.

She looks rather angry.

Continuing to inspire rage. Going to spend that boosted healing aid token.

Miraculously, another team of high ranked Pathfinders passes by to lend some healing! Thunderhoof will spend 3 rounds of inspire to boost a timely inspiration for whoever gets it next.

Boosted Heal: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 5, 5, 1) = 20

Thunderhoof moos in pain when the fiendish women’s dark power rakes across his side.

Finding himself whisked into the fray by the Dawnflower’s divine power, the huge bull rampages through the enemy’s ranks.

Trample: 2d8 + 21 ⇒ (6, 5) + 21 = 32

Trampling through the two undead ladies and ending up at the point my token is on the map. They can each attempt a reflex save (DC 28) for half or take an AOO at -4.

Ikit flies in and attacks red. +2 adamantine rapier: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24 Damage: 1d4 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Apologies for the disappearance, but we are far enough ahead of schedule that we are still doing well.

Claw VS Thunderhoof (AoOP): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24
Claw Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

The Red Harionago slashes her claws at the charging bull, and lands a blow! 6 Damage and 5 bleed.
Because of the Paralysis, I will just roll your Fortitude Save.
Thunderhoof Fortitude Save DC23: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
Paralysis Rounds: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
If you would like to use a reroll on that one, let me know.
Ikit and Chaine Negative Energy Damage: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 7, 2) + 3 = 16

The Harianagos go back onto the offensive!

The Blue Harianago unleashes a scornful laughter!
Ikit, Chaine, Grimaldus, Thunderhoof, and Silvermane will need to make a DC23 Will Save

The Red Harionago's claws and hair suddenly lashes out at everyone near her! Claws have only 5ft reach, hair has 10ft reach
Claw VS Ikit: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

Is this the final encounter? also I'm using the heavy pick so you can drop the 'weapon 7 dmg' if you want.

FOR THE KING: 30 ft radius; +4 to all attacks and dmg for 1 round

effects active: Magic Circle against evil, Haste

Grimaldus has protection from Evil cast upon himself, so if those creatures are evil, no attacks made against Grimaldus since no attacks made by me yet against the creatures :) and also the laughter will be negated

If not evil...

Seeing the damage output of the 2 creatures he steps 5" back before unleashing a channel of healing, excluding the 2 creatures as he does so, if they have an AoO he will taunt them to take it by not casting it defensively.

Channel: 6d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 1, 6, 4) = 21

Charlie snaps his fingers and out pops his rod of intensify spell and another quick snap his rod of empowered goes into his glove of storing. Then he unleashes an Intensified Burst of Radiance.

burst dmg: 10d4 + 10 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 1, 2, 2, 2) + 10 = 39
If they are Evil, take full damage regardless, but DC:17 reflex save. If make save,then only dazzled. Otherwise, blinded for 1d4 ⇒ 4 rounds.

Thunderhoof actually makes that fort save. His Fort is +4 higher right now due to heroism and inspire rage.

I assume that means I'm due a second AoO?

Grimaldus, FYI: Channel Energy is a Supernatural ability, and therefore doesn't provoke (As a negative energy channeler, this is a very useful thing to know...)

Grimaldus, FYI: Channel Energy is a Supernatural ability, and therefore doesn't provoke (As a negative energy channeler, this is a very useful thing to know...)

I was always told that it would provoke, interesting to know and keep in mind.

It's right in the Core rules: supernatural abilities don't provoke. You've managed to get to level 10 that way hmm? I guess it pays to treat it like it's a spell! careful mode for the win! ;)

hey, mistakes can happen! and I might be mistaken at this point (being late and all that) but yeah, still, being careful pays off :P

In the interest of not holding things up, I'm going to assume that the second AoO hits and also comes with a paralysis save. After the channel but before the second AoO I'm down 81 hp.

Fort vs Paralysis: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 15 + 4 = 35

Will vs Laughter: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 4 = 25

Bellowing in rage, Thunderhoof lowers his head barrels forward into one of the undead ladies with his mighty horns.

Gore: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25
Damage: 2d6 + 30 ⇒ (4, 6) + 30 = 40

We have another aid token, right?

Non-Boosted Healing!: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 1) = 8

Chak moves up and studies the blue creature before firing an arrow at it.

+1 Composite Longbow: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23 Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 MCPE re-roll: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Ikit falls on the ground laughing.
