Gamday VIII Worg's 8-25 Unleashing the Untouchable Levels 12-15 (Inactive)

Game Master Kyle "Worg" H

"Yes, the more subtle approach is warranted."

Since nobody else has voiced an interest nor an affinity for the Decanter, Akyr will carry it.

He can't use/wield his Banner of Ancient Kings if he's using the decanter, but if we need fire protection...again (oops--hadn't realized nobody had claimed it)...he'll keep it handy.

Favian only has air and fire affinity.

With the power of Fossilblight, clearing through the rubble is an easy task. While this path eluded the dangers up above, it certainly takes some patience to head through the tunels.
1 Hour, 10 Minutes used up so far.

The winding passage opens into the demolished remnant of some subterranean complex. Rivers of magma flow from fissures in the walls, collecting into a sea of bubbling molten rock far below. What remains of this chamber’s floor has collapsed into a makeshift bridge of partly intact masonry and crumbling debris. Overhead, part of a collapsed second floor is visible, though it is little more than exposed stairways and narrow ledges.

Hazard: The path through this room is fragile. Potions of the floor are on the verge of breaking apart, threatening to deposit anyone crossing into the sea of magma below. Best tread carefully, Pathfinders!

ID Unstable Ground Move Action; DC25 Knowledge Engineering, Perception, or Survival. Each time you do it, you can determine unstable ground in a 30ft cone.

Akyr will pull out the Breath of Lysianassa and then take a careful look while floating along on his carpet.

Resist Fire 10--or 30, if Fire-Dominant Planar Trait, for anyone within 30' of Akyr.

Lore Master: can always take ten on Kn-Engineering, which results in a check of 32

Before we venture onto doubtful floor, Hania asks for someone to use one of her scrolls of fly on her.

Thrag joins the others in the air, pulling and drinking a potion of Fly.

If we spot the unstable ground, is it otherwise safe to pass?

The elemental Teriq once again sprouts a mighty pair of fiery wings, prepared to travel across with the others.

If we spot the unstable ground, is it otherwise safe to pass?

Would like some idea before I use a scroll of fly.

Most of the party takes to the air to avoid the treacherous ground. Within the immediate proximity, Akyr discovers a loose part of the path.
Hazard zones represented by white squares.

Was someone able and willing to help Hania? She has a scroll, it's just not a spell she can cast.

Will wait to see if anyone does that for Hania before posting further.

Favian will use Hania's scroll and so as not to be the only one on the ground, he will use one of his too (assuming it has been more than 12 minutes since the battle with the elemental tropps).

It has been at least 1 hour and 10 minutes.

The party begins to float their way across the chasm, and those on the ground are wary of the treasonous ground.

From the depths below, a plume of lava burst up and splashes onto the bridge way. On the lava plume rides an elemental who now floats in the air. "Wretched mortals, prepare to face incineration!"
From the ledge stands three fiery gunmen, who draw their rifles and attack!

Black Tentacles: 1d20 + 12 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 4 + 1 = 231d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

As a swift action, Akyr will begin orating out words of INSPIREation and enCOURAGEment. Then he takes the rest of his time casting a persistent CALM EMOTIONS on the fire elemental.
Roll twice, taking worse result Will Save DC:21

If it fails its save, Akyr will shout, "Do NOT harm the elemental in any way. Destroy the undead gunmen first!"

@Favian & Akyr Resist Channel, DR10/Bludgeoning AND Magic, SR21

Tentacles pop up around the gunners, but fail to grasp them!
The elemental suddenly stops its assault, and decides to go back into the lava.

The gunners raise their super heated rifles, and take deadly aim upon the targets. They fire with a precision and swiftness that these rifles must somehow tolerate due to their incredible heat!

Julian will study the orange gunman and drink his elixir of stoneskin.

Teriq continues to fly, moving just over top of Julian, before unleashing a flurry of arrows at the undead gunman on the south side of the bridge.

unsure if skeletal undead or not, but just in case, will use blunt arrows.. 5foot step, over Julian (cant move my token at present). Then full attack. Firing at green.

Fossilblight disappears from Thrag's hand and is replaced in a blink with a a long hafted black hammer as he charges through the air at the orange gunman, ready to smash the weapon out of his hands.

Quick Draw and a Scabbard of Many Blades to free action switch weapons. His Lucerne hammer has reach so he should be in range of the flag and the decanter.

Adamantine should ignore hardness and Greater Sunder will transfer any damage above what it takes to destroy the weapon to the wielder.

Reduce Thrag's attack and damage by 2. There's no flag bonus, because Akyr is holding the decanter, and banner must be held in 2 hands for the bonus.

Akyr maintains his inspirational banter. He sings a little ditty to help him maintain his concentration on keeping the elemental Calm, while taking a 5' step downward and casting grease on the rocks below the blue Pale man.

DC:20 reflex or fall prone for BLUE.

@Hania Delayed.
The Blue Gunman slips and falls when Akyr casts the grease spell. He stands up and moves out of the tentacles and grease, eyes now locked onto the bard orc with a burning hatred.

The Green Gunman realizes the bard is still a dangerous target to let live, seeing as it did something to the elemental Sakrisa. He takes aim at Akyr as well! While one of the bullets his, suddenly his gun jams!

Lastly, the Orange Gunman tries to evade the orcs attack and move out of the tentacles and grease. While it manages to get through the grease, Thrag gets an opportune strike against it! It then turns and fires upon the orc!

What Is Happening
Blue Gunman: Stand Up, Move
Green Gunman: Shoot Akyr 3 times, gun jam on last shot. Shoot Akyr for 12 damage.
Orange Gunman: Acrobatics DC35 and Fail, move. Provoke from Thrag. Shoot Thrag for 10 damage.

Hania croes out to Shelyn for aid activating aura of Justice and then moves closer to one of the undead creatures. on mobile only, someone please move me

Orange's gun should be destroyed. I made a Sunder attack against the gun instead of the elemental. Thrag has Greater Sunder so any damage not needed to destroy the weapon would carry over to the wielder.

Errata'd. He still runs away then since his weapon is destroyed.

What Is Happening
Orange Gunman: Acrobatics DC 35 and Fail, Move. Provoke from Thrag.
@Hania_ Get another turn and not delayed. Btw, moved you towards green since you have flight.
Also the black tentacles don't grab them, but they do spend a turn trying to get out of it.

AoO, Inspire, Power Attack: 1d20 + 27 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 27 + 3 - 4 = 39

Damage, +1 Adamantine, Bludgeoning, Inspire, Power Attack: 3d6 + 17 + 12 ⇒ (2, 2, 2) + 17 + 12 = 35

Teriq continues to fire arrows in rapid succession.

Teriq doesnt care that it is fleeing. Undead are to be destroyed. Blunt arrows still. Shooting orange, then blue if it drops.

manyshot, DA, bard, rapid: 1d20 + 25 - 3 + 3 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 25 - 3 + 3 + 3 - 2 = 45, for 1d8 + 6 + 6 + 3 + 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 6 + 3 + (8) + 15 = 41 damage.

As Teriq unleashes a barrage at orange Thrag moves to the edge of the cloud to smash blues gun, reducing the barrage at Akyr.

Teriq and Thrag make quick effort to dispatch the orange gunman, slaughtering it with only 1 arrow and a swing of the hammer. Their attention turns to the blue gunman afterwards, quickly dispatching that.

What Is Happening
Teriq: Attack 1 vs Orange, Attack 2 Missed, Attack 3 Redirected at Blue
Thrag: Smash Blue's Weapon

Favian swoops in to help Hania dispatch one of the undead.

Using Hania's granted smite ability. +6 to hit, +13 damage (+26 on first attack), ignored DR. Favian gets +6 deflection to AC vs green.

Akyr simply maintains his running commentary, INSIRING his fellow pathfinders in their COURAGEous endeavors, while focusing his magical energies on keeping the Elemental calm. He moves forward to try and keep everyone engulfed in the cooling mist of the mythical decanter.

Free action maintain performance. Move action to move up.Standard action to use Spellsong to maintain concentration on spell.

Hania and Favian make quick effort smiting the green gunner, and with the blue one's weapon destroyed, they no longer have a line of defense. With quick effort, Thrag dispatches the remaining blue gunner.
Off screen and called off.

With no further opposition, the party can continue through the cooled lava tubes and reach some hallways that looked to be made of worked stone.
Slide 7

As we seem to be drawing closer to the target, Julian will quaff an extract of heroism and then look around the cavern.

Perception: 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (20) + 18 + 2 + (4) = 44

Akyr will follow Julian's example, casting heroism on himself and taking a look around.
Perception: 1d20 + 22 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 22 + 2 = 41

Thrag joins the search.

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22

Hania's stern posture visibly relaxes as the enemies fall or flee. She takes a moment to heal her wounds before the team moves on.

CLW, 8 charges: 8d8 + 8 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 8, 7, 7, 1, 5) + 8 = 45

Hania also checks on her allies, offering healing to anyone who needs it. happy to use your healing wand, if needed. Also happy to use a few charges of mine, if yours ran out and you forgot to replace it. :)

Searching around, there is little sign of activity or traps in these formerly lava based hallways. Proceeding with caution, the party enters a larger chamber that is adjacent to a lake made of lava. On the ground is a circle of runes that, when deciphered, leave you to believe it was a focus point for a teleportation effect.
If you took the other path, you would be teleported into this chamber. Slide 7 being readjusted.

Thrag keeps near the front of the group, the weapon in his hands almost seeming to blink as he alternates between his trusty lucerne hammer and Fossilblight.

Just to check: there's a body of water (or maybe lava) behind us, we're heading deeper into the complex to look for the super-hot fire?

Short Sweet Version? That is correct, Julian.

Which way would the party like to go?
Southwest was already fully explored. There is west, northwest, north, and east. Aside from how big the passages are, there are not much clues as to what lays down each one.

Seems like one of those, explore the side areas first, or go straight up the middle, scenarios? =) I'll say west! Since we're standing right beside the passage.

"Shall we be systematic about this, or does someone have a better idea?" Julian suggests checking the corridor to the west and then making their way clockwise through the compound.

Now that the target nears, he'll drink his mutagen and an elixir of echolocation.

Seems as good an order as any.

Thrag uses the tip of Fossilblight to sketch a sword and mountain symbol at the entrance of the tunnel.

In case they get us turned around.
