GM Abraham's Curse of the Riven Sky (9-11) [Gameday VIII] (Inactive)

Game Master Abraham Z.

Heccan cries out in horror, a sound never uttered by the resolute Chelxian. He looks about in a panic and then flees the area, running faster than any of his comrades knew he was capable.

Heccan usually does not have any items held generally. Do we get a another chance at a save next round?

Anen curses under his breath, watching the others bolt. "Knew I shoulda bought that wand of remove fear."

He looks at the prisoner thoughtfully before casting detect magic and sweeping the area.

As he runs away . . . Why should I be afraid of pipes? It makes no sense and yet I am terrified. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

As more than half of the group flees in terror, Caduceus and Anen are left to face the situation on their own. Fortunately, the satyr does not appear particularly combat-minded, as he has already run off into the woods.

Meanwhile, Th'telis glares at Anen and Caduceus. She waggles her tear-stained face at the paladin one more time, as if to remind the champion of virtue that he is supposed to aid poor captured damsels such as herself, but when this does not get her what she wishes, she huffs in annoyance, mutters "...fine... Keep yer baubles, then! Selfish!" and disappears into the tree that she has been leaning against.

Anen's detect magic soon determines that there is indeed some magic in a brush beside Th'telis' tree, where he finds a ring of jumping, a +1 amulet of natural armor, fourteen +2 seeking arrows, and a masterwork bow.

Nearby, although not magical, he also finds a stash of excellent wine, 12 bottles bejeweled and of outstanding vintages, hidden in a tree stump.

In the time that it takes to find these items, the fear spell wears off on the others, who are all able to return, where they find their comrades, the loot, and no sign of either the satyr or the dryad.

Heccan shakes his head as the spell fades, clearing it of magical cobwebs. "Well, I can honsetly say I have never been so frightened of a beautiful girl in all my life. Some powerful sorcery indeed to cause me to flee. Positively terrifying! Though, I admit I am a bit intrigued, I mean..." Heccan trails off as he spies the ornate bottles. He stops mid sentence, something exceedingly rare for the wordy former barrister. He blinks and a wide grin spreads across his face.

"Where did you find those! By the laws! I mean, I can only imagine the vintage..." He looks at his fellows "Let's be honest, its been a trying few days. Fighting that dreadful monstrosity, Hector dying and all, then fleeing in a panic. We deserve a little refresher, no?" Heccan looks almost pleadingly at Anen and Via.

"You're absolutely right, Heccie. These probably fell off the back of a cart. Its probably, uh, divine intervention. From Cayden Cailean." He looks expectantly at Caduceus.

I've no need for any of those items.

With a conceding smile, "Cayden himself? Who am I to stand in the way of Divine Intervention?"

The pathfinders continue on their way for a few more days without incident until...

Cresting a tree-covered hill brings into a view a group of six thick- limbed giants with hunting clubs and throwing stones at the ready—but somewhat startled at seeing a group of adventurers, as if they were a hunting party looking for other prey. However, when the pathfinders come into view, they move to attack.

We are on to the next encounter but I'm not sure if I'll have time to set it up today or not. Will get it posted as soon as I can.

After several days journey without incident, shortly after lunch one day, cresting a tree-covered hill brings into a view a group of six thick- limbed giants with hunting clubs and throwing stones at the ready—but somewhat startled at seeing a group of adventurers, as if they were a hunting party looking for other prey. Spying the pathfinders, they are immediately hostile, as if the giants will accept the pathfinders as substitute prey in lieu of whatever else they may have been hunting.

These are obviously hill giants, and dressed similarly to the ones that you have already encountered multiple times.

Hector, Heccan, and Anen may act!

GM, is it alright if Anen has Overland flight up? it lasts 10 hours, so he casts it each day after breaking camp.

Anen quickly casts haste on the party.

Yes, assume that any of your regular start-of-the-adventuring day spells and abilities are up and functioning.

Woohoo! What's the deal with the trees? Difficult terrain? Don't want to just sprint forward into a gang, but want to clarify that point first.

Yes, everything that looks like difficult terrain, is.

"Caduceus, did you enjoy getting big and mighty? I could do that again if you want to go toe to toe with these brutes."

Will cast enlarge person on Cad if he'll accept it. If no, I'll move forward to my duplicated position on the map a ready to attack if one gets close enough for some reason.

Heccan sneers as the giants descend. "More of them. I will not miss the sight, or the smell of these creatures." Heccan's hands wave in circles as me mutters low and in sinister tones. The pale Chelaxian fades from view.

Heccan casts greater invisibility. Offense magic on deck.

"YES, yes! Anything to hasten our victory." We cannot have the same drawn out battle as last time.

Conditions: haste (r11);

13:00 Round 1->2

Hector - dmg; casting Enlarge Person (goes into effect after Caduceus acts);

Heccan - dmg; greater invis (r11);

Purple Hill Giant - dmg;

Orange Hill Giant - dmg;

Red Hill Giant - dmg;

Blue Hill Giant - dmg;

Tytus - dmg;

Caduceus - 28 dmg; life link on all?; Enlarged (after this round's actions);

Each of the heroes casts a spell in preparation for the battle that awaits.

The giants waste no time and immediately begin to hurl boulders in the direction of the party! (The giants' height, and the fact that they are standing on rocky outcroppings, enable them to throw over the dense but low foliage).

Yellow hurls a boulder that solidly bashes Caduceus. Green misses Hector. One of Purple's boulders misses Anen, but the other critically strikes him! Orange also targets Anen, but misses with both boulders. Red misses Caduceus. And Blue also misses Anen.

Once again, Caduceus' life link heals his comrade - Anen in this instance. (Caduceus, I presume you have life link up on everyone as usual?)

Pathfinders are up! The bold may act. (Note that Caduceus will become enlarged by Hector, but only after Caduceus acts this round)

Yes to lifelink on all.

The paladin shunts a small bit of divinity into the surrounding area, healing some of the team's wounds at the hands of the hurled stones.

Pally Channel: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 1) = 12 {+8 for Cad}

Caduceus then steps toward Hector and awaits his spell.

Tytus quickly looks into his bandoleers and quaffs an extract of greater invisibility.

Hector discharges his enlarge ability into Caduceus and then hastens forward, entered the cover of the foliage and drawing his rapier as he draws nearer.

double move

Anen casts mirror image and draws his lesser reach metamagic rod.

They're too spread out for most of my abilities and I don't want to try to start a summon when they can just pulverize me with rocks. I'll get some debuffs up next round.

Mirror images: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

A ball of smoldering flame erupts from behind Hector and Tytus. The burning mass flies through the sky, landing atop tow of the assailing giants, engulfing them in fire!

Heccan casts fireball at the two giants (blue and red) to the north east. REF save v DC 20 for half.

FIREBALL!: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 5, 4, 3, 1, 1, 6, 4, 6) = 36

Tytus - dmg; greater invis (r11);

Caduceus - 46 dmg; life link on all; Enlarged;

Caduceus heals some of the damage inflicted upon himself and Anen.

Tytus turns himself invisible.

Hector finishes enlarging Caduceus and then moves forward into the underbrush.

Anen creates several images of himself to confuse the already dim-witted giants.

Heccan drops a mass of fire upon two of the giants.
Blue Ref DC 20: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Red Ref DC 20: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Yellow moves closer to Hector and makes a single swing with his greatclub.
Greatclub, PA: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
dmg: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (8, 6) + 16 = 30

Seeing Caduceus grow to their own size, the other giants all pummel him with rocks! Caduceus, with haste and enlarge, I think your AC is 23?

Most of the boulders sail wildly off the mark, but two lucky hits do some solid damage to the paladin.

Caduceus' life link more of the damage already taken by Anen.

Pathfinders are up! The bold may act.

Anen stays put and begins casting summon monster IV, offering up a silent prayer to Desna that the giants are more concerned about the big paladin or the dashing swashbuckler.

The paladin sends forth another small burst of healing before moving forward. Along the way he funnels healing energy directly into himself.

Paly Channel: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 1) = 11 {+9 for Caduceus}
LoH {self}: 4d6 + 2 + 12 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 1) + 2 + 12 = 21

@GM, Correct, current AC is 23

Pally Channel 7 of 9 remaining
LoH 11 of 12 remaining
Paladin Self righteousness infinite supply remaining

“You are even uglier up close! Ahh, I’m frightened I must runaway!” He then sticks his tongue out at him and prances away in a rather mocking fashion.

Hector withdraws, as fighting in this undergrowth does no suit him.

Red Hill Giant - 36 dmg;

Blue Hill Giant - 36 dmg;

Tytus - dmg; greater invis (r11);

Caduceus - 5 dmg; life link on all; Enlarged;

Anen begins a complex series of incantations and conjurations.

Caduceus heals himself and Anen - both practically in full health again - before moving closer to their foes.

Hector withdraws, as if to lead Yellow further into the woods...

Heccan and Tytus (?) are up! Tytus, it looks like you moved forward on the map? Did you move yourself but forget to post what your actions were?

I curse the resiliency of these monsters! I only hope fighting them does not drain my power so thoroughly again.

Another ball of fire launches from the space recently occupied by the Chelaxian. It hurls itself against the same pair of hurtling giants.

Heccan casts another fireball at blue and red. REF v DC 20 for half.

FIREBALL!: 10d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 4, 1, 1, 2, 4, 5, 1, 6) = 35

Tytus will double move forward.
I think I tried to post from work and it didn´t work :-(

Conditions: haste (r11);

Tytus - dmg; greater invis (r11);

Caduceus - 21 dmg; life link on all; Enlarged; grappled;

Blue Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Heccan invisibly blasts both Blue and Red again, both of whom look a bit wobbly.

Tytus moves forward. If any of the giants notice him, they give no sign of it.

Suddenly, there is a crash of underbrush and a cracking of breaking tree limbs as a huge monstrosity makes a sudden entrance with a ground- shaking roar. It seems almost inappropriate to call it a bear, for it stands an impossible 16 feet tall on its hind legs, its back is covered with bony ridges, its head and joints have horn-like projections, and its claws and teeth are unnaturally large, even for a beast of this size. Spittle drips from this feral bear’s roaring maw, and its matted fur is broken in places by wicked, bony growths. It looks angry.

With a massive claw, it reaches for the paladin of Iomedae, who suddenly doesn't look as large as he did!
Claw: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
dmg: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Grab: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (6) + 22 = 28 Caduceus is grappled, and pulled 1 square closer to the bear.

Yellow chases after Hector. "Come back here! I wasn't done with you - it's play time!"
Greatclub, PA: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
... but the hasty Flame of Liberty narrowly avoids the blow. The giant looks puzzled.

Green joins the fun as well. "Hey, save some for me!" Double move

Purple also advances forward. Double move

Orange too attempts to get closer to the pathfinders. Double move.

Neither Red nor Blue can see Heccan, the source of their fiery problems, but they see Anen standing just there and obviously engaging in magic, and it's no stretch for them to blame him for their troubles.
Red Thrown rock, 2nd range increment: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 2 = 15

dmg: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 3) + 10 = 15

Anen, I think with haste your AC is 16? In which case these all miss, but pop three images.

Pathfinders are up!

Anen curses at the sight of the bear, but manages to hold concentration amid the rain of boulders.

Lantern Archons: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Three lantern archons pop into existence as he completes the spell. The archons move forward, maintaining a 20' height, and fire rays of light at purple.

Blue, ranged touch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2 Ignores all damage reduction.
Red, ranged touch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2 Ignores all damage reduction.
Green, ranged touch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6 Ignores all damage reduction.

Looking at the more immediate threat, Anen casts glitterdust on the bear. DC 22 Will save or blinded 10 rounds.

Three lantern archons appear, flitting in the air above Purple, and zap him with rays of light, two of which hit.

Bear Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
The bear is now very glittery, which if anything seems to make him even angrier, but he looks like he can still see. He seems to be staring at Anen malevolently.

Pathfinders are up!

The grass near anen is rustled as the unseen sorcerer reacts the the emergence of the giant bear! As the two giants smolder, Heccan decides to give the giants a momentary reprieve from the rain of fire and aid the suddenly endangered Vai. Two beams of smoldering red energy jet from a space near anen toward the rampaging urisdae.

Heccan will fire off a scorching ray off at the bear.

Ray 1 v. touch AC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Ray 2 v. touch AC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

fire damage ray 1: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 5, 1) = 8
fire damage ray 2: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 3, 1) = 14

Feeling the squeeze to the bear's deadly embrace, the paladin silently wonders what lesson he is suppose to learn. First the linnorm, and now this beast? There must be some greater message She is sending me. Without contemplating the issue further, he attacks. However, the warrior's blade cannot fins a gap in the bony armor.

Inheritor's Light {Enlarged/grappled}: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 5) + 4 = 11

Wow! The party rolls eight attacks and only gets double digits twice. I see our luck continues.

Caduceus pulls from the healing reservoir deep within him.
Swift LoH: 4d6 + 2 + 12 ⇒ (5, 2, 4, 2) + 2 + 12 = 27

Heccan blasts the bear with two bolts of fire.

Caduceus attempts to strike the bear hugging him and his first blow actually manages the catch the creature but the others miss. He also fully heals himself.

Tytus and Hector are up. Would someone be willing to bot Hector?

Tytus invisibly advances upon Purple and strikes him solidly, leaving the puzzled giant gaping about him in confusion.

Hector dances back into the forest, leaving Yellow and Green panting at his speed.

The bear attempts to pin Caduceus...
Grapple: 1d20 + 22 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 22 + 5 = 30
... and succeeds. The angry beast looks hungrily at its prey.

Yellow gives up on Hector, saying to his friend, "C'mon, that squirrel has run into the trees, but let's go find some of these other morsels!" double move

Green grunts in agreement and makes haste. double move

Purple lashes out at Tytus, or where it thinks Tytus might be!

Anen drops a magical cloud of poisonous air amidst the giants but only one of the hardy fellows succumbs to its power.

Lashing out with a sudden flurry of strikes, the paladin tries to free himself.

Aw farts! I missed his roll, just the wall of 'giants' rolls. Damn, the first time I had a decent set of rolls.

Feeling what he feels to be inherent evil, the paladin calls on the holy powers to to aid in his struggle to escape this creatures grasp.
Swift Action to Smite Evil

So, do we just use my first die roll for the escape? With my swift action Smite Evil and Enlarge, that would be +21 to the roll (37). If it is not evil/smite-able, then it would only be a +15, totaling 31.

IF you need me to roll separately....

Another two beams of searing red energy erupt from somewhere near Anen and streak toward the bear.

Hector stabs at the bear, wounding it slightly. No flank since Caduceus doesn't threaten the bear since he's pinned, but the bear does lose its dex bonus due to pinning Caduceus, so your precision damage would apply.

Heccan blasts the creature with two bursts of fire, one of which critically strikes the beast!

Caduceus brings the power of Iomedae upon the monstrosity, but it appears that Iomedae has little interest in bears, no matter how huge they may be. It's not evil, so no effect from your smite. The paladin attempts to free himself from the clutches of the beast but cannot wriggle free.

Putting Tytus on delay - if any of you want to bot him feel free.

The hungry bear attempts to maintain its pin on Caduceus...
Grapple: 1d20 + 22 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 22 + 5 = 28
... but somehow its wounds distract it and he manages to slip free!

The bear roars with irritation and looks around menacingly!

Yellow advances forward but stops when he bumps into the invisible Tytus. He swings wildly at whatever it is in his path...

Vomiting, Green rushes to get out of the hideous cloud.
nauseated: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Purple, seeing Yellow swing at the invisible Tytus, joins the fun after stepping 5' out of the cloud...

... but he whiffs badly at the empty space.

Orange hurries to get out of the cloud and, finding the path blocked by his comrades, moves into the underbrush. double move

The cloud blocks Red and Blue from continuing their stony barrage and both move to get around it. Double move

Caduceus' life link heals both Tytus and Anen.

Pathfinders are up! If someone wants to bot Tytus, please feel free; otherwise I will just leave him on delay until he's able to post.

Tytus slowly takes a step back and swings his weapon at yellow again.

Anen steps forward and casts fireball. Orange template, catching blue, red, purple, and green. DC 21 Reflex save for half.
