Game Master supervillan

Continues attacking blue.

Trip: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 17

Orst swings again at the lady chopping down hard.

"What is your problem?" "I always return my books on time." "Heck I don't even like reading."

sword chop pwr atk: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
dmg: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Orst touches his wounds praying for strength. lay on lands #3: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8

Naruhito moves closer to action. double move
Wolf,move back so that I can help here!

reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Kett dodges the shards as much as he can as the rage of being attacked by a librarian subsides. Ending rage. Fatigued for 4 rounds due to tolerance.

Turning to look at the mirror the librarian dived through Kett shrugs to the others "I'm not going to fit through that" before moving towards the last visible foe.

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Deldri follows Kett double move

"I'm small I bet I can. I wonder what's in there? Maybe I should go back and look?"

Deldri manoeuvres, as does Naruhito.

Orst smashes his blade into the librarian and heals himself.

Murphy fails to get her jaws around the enemy. Dresden focuses on healing Daedîn.

Daedîn puts his back to the wall.

Kett moves towards Orst's battle.

The librarian engaged with Orst and Murphy continues her assault.

cyan mirror shard vs Orst: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
cyan mirror shard vs Orst: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
shove vs Orst: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Whilst her jagged mirror shard does not penetrate the paladin's defences, she once again shoves him against the back wall and the piece of amber glass that sits there. DC 14 Will save please Orst.

The second librarian emerges from the glittering blade of Naruhito's katana, and attacks!

red mirror shard vs Naruhito: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

The samurai is wounded again.

"This is the pushiest Library I have ever been in." "Get off me!"

Orst chops again with his sword.

sword chop with pwr atk: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
dmg: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

He says another short prayer and touches his wounds.
lay on hands#4: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

After Dresden goes. Hmmm, I think I only single moved last turn, odd, oops..

Drawing a javelin as he strides forward, Kett throws it at the returned librarian.

attack; javelin, target in melee: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 3 - 4 = 5
damage; javelin: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

I cast a healing spell on Kett and move. Or he moved and I moved behind him and healed him. Either way same results.

CLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Daedîn moves 30' north and fires at the red sliver...

To hit: Base/Dex, Weapon Focus, Magic, PBS
Damage: Magic, Strength, PBS

Longbow: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 17

Trip: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 24

Naruhito finds a new target. He slashes...
image?: 1d4 ⇒ 1
..hitting the true librarian! And again...
image?: 1d4 ⇒ 2
...and this time a false image shatters.

Orst destroys his tormentor!

Orst, Murphy, Naruhito, Kett take death throes damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4 DC12 Reflex for half damage; Kett you get a +2 cover bonus on your save.

red librarian reflex, cover: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 15

Dresden nurses Kett.

Murphy may take alternative actions, since Orst destroyed her target.

"Thanks, Murphy." "Remind me to buy you a deer haunch when we get home."

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 takes 4 dmg.

Tail starts wagging. Starts sniffing the air.

ref: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Deldri moves again to keep up with Kett double move

"These things are tough!"

Deldri's little legs struggle to keep pace with Kett's giant strides.

Murphy does what wolves do, and circles round the back of the librarian. Doing so exposes her own flank...
librarian AoO vs Murphy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
...she suffers a cut, but answers in kind...
image?: 1d3 ⇒ 2
...destroying a false image.

Daedîn's arrow narrowly misses the librarian.

Kett lodged a javelin in a bookshelf.

The librarian shoves Murphy against the glass railing...
shove: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
DC14 Will save for Murphy please
But she keeps her jagged blade working at Naruhito, in a deadly duel.
librarian vs Naruhito: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

delay after the wolf takes flanking position

Naruhito continues to strike.

+2 Adamantine Katana (Furious Focus, Power attack),flank: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 13 + 2 = 22

damage: 1d8 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 6 = 20

damage: 1d8 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 6 = 21

Kett stops and watches, waiting for an opening to get his massive frame into the fight.

Kett delays.

Can't wait for lunge...

Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 fail

Does something happen other than it looks like 4 dmg from the shove? We take damage even if the shove fails vs. CMD?

You take damage if the shove ‘hits’ your CMD. I went off Murphy’s header value of 18, but that seems to be incorrect. Please update your header. Murphy has not been successfully shoved, does not take 4hp damage, and does not need to make a Will save. I will post a full update later.

Please update your header.

Sorry my fault for not keeping that up to date. I forgot to switch it back after the stunned aura.

Seeing a free space I can fit in, I move up to hit the remaining librarian. Swift action to switch my animal aspect back to bull.

melee (longsword): 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 1 + 1 = 17 damage (S): 1d8 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 12

Seeing a flanking partner waiting on me to move over, 5' step over and continue attack.

melee (bite): 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 24 Damage (B/P/S): 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
If hits, free Trip attempt
Trip: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 27

Deldri heals Naruhito.

Dresden and Murphy move to assist the samurai in melee. Dresden's blade destroys a false image, leaving the librarian open to Murphy and Naruhito's attacks.

Both man and wolf strike the true librarian, and she shatters into hundreds of slashing, piercing fragments!

Everyone but Daedin suffers death throes damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7 DC12 Reflex save for half, Orst gets +2 for Cover.

Combat over barring your saving throws!

Party status

Daedîn (-19hp)
Kett (-42hp) (ref save needed)
Deldri (-8hp) (ref save needed)
Naruhito (-25hp) (ref save needed)
Orst (-25hp) (ref save needed)
Dresden (-6hp) (ref save needed)
Murphy (-9hp) (ref save needed)

reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Picking glass shards from his flesh Kett slowly catches his breath "Little librarian sure had a sharp attitude. I'm sorry we couldn't help her find the Ruby Phoenix"

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 takes 3 dmg.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 (evasion) no dmg.

I take out my wand of Cure Light Wounds and use it on myself and Murphy.

Self Wand CLW: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 2 = 8
Murphy Wand CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Charges used 32, 33, 34

reflex save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Orst pulls out his cure light wounds wand and applies it a few times until he feels better.

cow chg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
cow chg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
cow chg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
cow chg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Cow is cure light wounds once phone corrects it. Orst should st 47 hp 2 below full.

Daedîn retrieves his CLW wand and asks Orst to use it on the rogue...

Assuming he will, take 4 uses of the wand for 20 to get back to full HP...

"Thanks, Orst. I hope we've seen the last of those things..."

"Kett now's your chance to earn your "Book-Drop" name. This room looks empty now, maybe we can figure out what section this is and see if there are any books we should collect in here."

ref: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

"Can someone use my wand on me?"

I will roll
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Daedîn glad to be rid of these librarians, at least for now any way, but still very wary of this place, draws his bow and makes a thorough reconnaissance of this place they find themselves in...

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

wand of cure light wounds x10: 10d8 + 10 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 7, 3, 7, 7, 6, 4, 2) + 10 = 54

"This sure is the place for a trap.. But after seeing what that acid did to them books... Well, those kobolds might need to go..." Kett ponders the ethics of setting destructive traps inside a repertoire of knowledge as his wounds are worked on slowly.

With the librarians defeated you are able to search this room in safety.

In the lower central section a bundle of notes sits open on the floor. A cursory examination of these notes shows that Hao Jin was researching a variety of locations, including known sites across Golarion, several cities throughout the Inner Planes, and unrecognizable numerous desinations. However, her extensive itinerary culminates in a major visit to Axis, the Outer Plane of absolute law.

On a table in the corner you find a ring and an amulet.

This is the Planar Cosmology section of the library, and you can search if for useful books. Appropriate skills are: Knowledge (planes), Spellcraft, or Appraise.

In addition, you find that the mirror frame in the 'northeast' corner of the room is similar to the device that transported you here. Its fragments lie at the end of the rows of bookshelves: you emerged from them. You can place these fragments back in the frame.

appraise: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4

appraise: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (14) - 2 = 12

Turning a cautious eye on the ring and amulet Kett asks, "Think these were hers?"

Deldri looks around the area.

Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

"A lot of these books are SO high...Why aren't there any stools for people?"

Detect Magic on ring and amulet, then spellcraft to try and figure out what they are.
Spellcraft (ring): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Spellcraft (amulet): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

"These are magical, but not sure what they are."

Then a regular spellcraft to check the books.
Spellcraft (books): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Not really sure I'm helping, so will gather up the fragments and put the mirror back together so we're ready to go when all done in here.

Is hanging around shiny armor (aka Orst) and looking up expectantly while simultaneously drooling. With an occasional sniff like trying to see if something is going to appear.

Daedîn searches for any of the key documents among the Planar Cosmology books...

Appraise: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Botting Orst's skill check

Orst-bot spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

You grab some interesting looking books whilst Dresden fixes the mirror. When he has done so, it shows the image of the main library, as if you were looking out of the mirror that you fixed there; you can use this mirror to return to the archive.

Dresden is not able to determine the properties of the ring nor amulet, but you can take the items with you.

At this juncture, your friendly GM would like to remind you that you have a Bag of Holding that will allow up to 4 re-rolls of search skill checks, and that you have enough carrying capacity between you for up to 2 more re-rolls; the first of these would have no impact on your speed or encumbrance, the second would require that you all go to Heavy Encumbrance. I will list below your skill check results in each section - first PC to ask for a re-roll gets it, until you have used them all. Each re-roll is for 1 PC roll only. You do not have to use them of course.

Note, in each case I have listed your dice roll, followed by your skill total result. Remember that there is a penalty if you don't understand Tien, and that penalty is reduced where the Tien-Taldane dictionary was used.

Just my 2 cents, but I'd say let Deldri reroll in the Planar Cosmology section as that appears to be our weakest rolls overall and he has the best mod (Knowledge Planes)...
