GM Netherpongo's 10-00 The Hao Jin Cataclysm (Inactive)

Game Master Nathan Goodrich

Finally caught a break to catchup and the Paizo boards were down - ugh!

Conlaoch rushes to Torku's side to help him with this new foe. Attacking Yellow.

Attack, power, furious focus: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Damage: 1d10 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

Conlaoch's attack misses the attacking creature as the trio continue their assault. One of the creatures each attacks Cleetus, Conlaoch and Torku.

The creature attacking Cleetus runs its claws down the warrior's side before he can react, leaving deep and bloody wounds in its wake. Critical hit on natural 20s for the attack and the confirmation. Cleetus takes 13 damage.

The red-tinged choker continues its assault against Torku, striking him again and wrapping its pliable arms around him before squeezing tightly. Hit 24 & grab 27, 5 claw damage & 6 constrict damage for a total of 11. Torku is also being strangled and can't cast spells with verbal or somatic components, though I don't think that's a problem for him.

Thanks for the reminder that I didn't give an identification spoiler.

Initiative Order:
Yoon
Li Po Wen
Torku
Cleetus
Conloach
Red Monster
Blue Monster
Yellow Monster

Everyone can act! Remember that you are all sickened.

fire Burning infusion vs red-tinged choker: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 - 2 = 8

"You are blocking me!"

Thank goodness for Mind Barrier!

Escape Artist, Sickened vs opponent’s CMD: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 - 2 = 19

Let’s hope that’s enough to wriggle free. Using another point of focus to activate Mind Barrier again.

Conloach swings and stabs, trying to destroy the creature in front of him.

First Attack, power, furious focus, sickness: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 2 = 11

ugh.

"I don't know what they are! I know the imperial dragons and the heraldry of the Dragon Courts, not awful leather bat monsters from one of the hells!" Li Po wails, taking a hurried step back from the Danger(©).

He then hisses in pain as he takes on some of Cleetus's bruising. "WHAT! DID! I! TELL! YOU!"

Cleetus, heal 5, I take 5.

"I hope you manage to get LUCKY and hit that ugly thing!"] he tacks on at Cleetus in tones of mingled worry and sarcasm.

Std for one round of Fortune on Cleetus, declare the good luck use before you roll it yada yada. Swift to draw cure wand.

Cleetus hangs his head in shame as Li and Yoon berate him, "I'm sorry Li. I'm tryin' ta be careful, but the bat monster came outta nowhere. Ya can be sure I'mma try an' hit it though!"

Ignoring the queasy feeling lingering in his belly and the searing pain in his side Cleetus carefully steps out of Yoon's line of fire and throws an uppercut at the Danger(©) adjusting at the last second as a flash of insight shows him where to strike.

Making use of Fortune.

Uppercut: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 5 - 2 = 21
Fortune, Uppercut: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 - 2 = 14
Unarmed Strike Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

I don't think I mentioned it before, but these creatures are small size. They have a special ability that allows them to grab you despite the size difference.

Yoon's firebolt misses the hideous creatures while Torku does manage to wriggle out of the grasp of the one holding him. Conlaoch's strike misses, but Cleetus lands a solid blow on his enemy.

Taking advantage of the opening left by Cleetus's movement, the creature fighting him moves into the gap and strikes at Yoon. Its claws latch onto the girl and wrap around her throat, threatening to squeeze the life out of her. 21 vs AC & 17 vs CMD, total of 12 damage between claw & constrict

The other monsters lash out at Torku and Conlaoch, but fail to strike their opponents.

Initiative Order:
Yoon
Li Po Wen
Torku
Cleetus
Conloach
Red Monster
Blue Monster
Yellow Monster

Everyone can act! None of the enemies are bloodied. Remember that you are sickened.

"Hey yer s'pposed ta be fightin' me! Let go a Yoon!"

Cleetus unleashes a flurry of blows at the creature attacking Yoon.

Flurry of Blows, Sickened, Flanking: 1d20 + 4 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 2 + 2 = 231d20 + 4 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 2 + 2 = 23
Unarmed Strike Damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 81d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

the créature has 1 fire damage from the claw and 2 fire from the grapple.

I would argue this is possible because kinetic blast is spell-like so is activated on the mind.

touch: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 = 11She do not have precise shot...
fire: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 3) + 2 = 6

Cleetus's attack will be enough to take out the monster throttling Yoon. Otherwise, keep the posts coming!

Cleetus heals 5, I take 5.

Li Po Wen lets out a squeak when the monsters switch to someone other than the burly looking warriors. "Oh dear, no, stay back--"

Nervously, he calls out advice-- "Torku! That hideous thing seems a little weak on the one side! Please hit it!"

Casting guidance on Torku, +1 to hit

Oops, thought I’d posted already. Maybe the hungry hungry internet ate my post!

Torku nods, stabbing at the yellow-tinged creature between him and Cleetus. Disgusting.

Rapier, Flanking, Sickened, Guidance: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 2 - 2 + 1 = 13
Piercing damage, Sickened: 1d6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 - 2 = 1

Conlaoch starts to get frustrated at his lack of control. He doubles his efforts and slices down again at the yellow critter.

Attack, power, furious focus: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Damage: 1d10 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

Allows cleave against red.
Attack, power: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 - 2 = 16
Damage: 1d10 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

Cleetus and Yoon strike and burn the monster grappling her into a pile of smoldering and broken flesh.

Torku fails to strike his creature, but Conlaoch neatly cuts down the monster attacking him.

Yoon: the lack of normal components doesn't actually help while in a grapple (pinning might be different). Grappling forces a concentration check for spells and spell-like abilities regardless of the components. You missed either way, so this is just for future reference.

Conlaoch: I need you to declare when you are cleaving before the attack: it is a different action than normal attacks and applies a penalty to AC so I can't just assume that it is a bonus to a normal hit. Similar to Yoon, your Cleave followup missed anyway so it doesn't matter here. If it had hit (and red was still fighting), though, I wouldn't have counted it.

The remaining monster turns its attention toward Conlaoch, seeing a larger threat. It claws him, but fails to hold onto the powerful warrior. AC 19 for 4 damage to Conlaoch

Initiative Order:
Yoon
Li Po Wen
Torku
Cleetus
Conlaoch
Blue Monster

Everyone can act!

"Burn Evil!"

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Fire: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 2) + 2 = 9

Cleetus rushes forward to throw a punch at the last creature's head.

Unarmed Strike, Sickened: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 - 2 = 5

"Hold still ya squirmy lil bugger!"

Torku maintains his position between the creature and the clerk behind him. He jabs at its feet, not trusting himself to anticipate its unnatural movements.

Rapier, Sickened vs Blue: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 - 2 = 11
Piercing damage, Sickened: 1d6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 - 2 = 5

Guidance on Conloach

Li edges around the battlefield until he can nervously waggle a small piece of jade in the direction of the mighty Conloach.

Cletus, heal 5, I take 5. By my math that is 15 healing to Cletus this fight, and he was down exactly 15 (had -2 hp damage when the fight started, was hit for 13 in first round). He should be full up, and I have taken 15.

Li holds onto his curing wand VERY tightly, looking rather a sickly shade of blue, but trying to make sure the danger passes before he starts using it.

Botting Conlaoch:

Conlaoch steps up to the remaining monsters and strikes at it with a fierce war cry but the creature proves too nimble for his attack.

Conlaoch Attack (sickened and Guidance): 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 2 + 1 = 12
Conlaoch Damage (sickened): 1d10 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 14 - 2 = 19

The vile creature claws back at the sturdy warrior, failing to hold on to him but shredding through his armor to land a fierce wound. Two natural 20s in a row again. Damage total is 11.

Initiative Order:
Yoon
Li Po Wen
Torku
Cleetus
Conlaoch
Blue Monster

Everyone can act!

Torku starts making his way around the creature to a flanking position, but not quickly enough to put himself in even more danger as he pokes at the creature.

Rapier, Sickened: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 2 = 18
Piercing damage, Sickened: 1d6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 - 2 = 4

touch: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 2 = 26 She does not have precise shot...
fire: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 6) + 2 = 13

"Why don't you Burn!"

Feeling in considerable pain from the vicarious injuries he has received, and being at heart a cautious person, Li Po Wen uses his wand on himself...

CLW on self: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"I think you all have this in hand! Surely!"

Currently down 12 hp just for my own bookkeeping

Still feeling a bit under the weather Cleetus aims another blow at the creature.

Unarmed Strike, Sickened: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 2 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 - 2 = 7

With a variety of attacks, the Pathfinders burn, punch and pierce the monster into a pile of flexible (but inanimate) flesh.

And now I notice that the rotation of the mountain is supposed to be continuing a hazard in this fight. Oh well...

With the creatures defeated, you are able to guide the ratfolk repair team the rest of the way to the Pagoda of the Rat. There, you are greeted by Krella, the leader of the ratfolk.

Krella speaks in a whisper, "While we wait for the repair team, I must caution you. We ratfolk have many eyes and ears in the tapestry. Your old enemies, the Aspis Consortium, have poisoned many of the tapestry's people against you, but I sense that something far more sinister lurks just out of reach. Someone--or something--is at work in the tapestry, and has taken great effort to remain hidden. I fear this is just the beginning of our trouble."

With that warning received, the party prepares to travel to Slave Mountain to confront the evil schemes of the duergar. As you do, you find that you feel recovered from your expedition to the serpentfolk ziggurat. Everyone has recovered from the sickened condition.

For this part, I need to reverify whether anyone has played PFS 6-21: Tapestry's Toil. I don't expect it to take a full posting cycle, but I should also survey the party: do you guys want to rest? This section specifically allows for one night's rest for the Pathfinders, so you can recover spells and such if you wish.

Torku can let folks use his wand of infernal healing if we would prefer to recover as we travel - it’s an hour’s walk between locations, right? And I’m fine to continue to at least one more encounter. I’ve used about half my daily abilities so far.

For healing, I can also lifelink everyone out of combat until they are at max or less than 5 down, and then just heal myself. The wand of infernal is appreciated though, I wish it were on the shaman list as a spell. You'd think it would be given it's on the spell list of both parent classes *Eyeroll* We have enough wounded I'm going to throw one last channel:

2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8

By my math that puts the party at the following:
Cletus: full
Li Po Wen at 19/23
Torku: 23/24
Yoon: 40/44
Conloach: 36/41

Since Conloach is down an exact 5, can lifelink him (if he's willing), get him to full, and then I have -9 to heal which Torku can heal on me with an infernal charge. Assuming everyone is fine with those logistics, then only Torku and Yoon still have damage (1 hp damage for Torku, 4 hp damage for Yoon).

RP to narrate all that^^:

Li Po Wen looks relieved when the battle ends, and notes that his bodyguards fellow agents look a little beaten up. "One moment, one moment-- let's see, where did I put it-- ah, yes, here we are, requisition order 32-C, On the Petitioning of the Spirit World for the Mitigation of Wounds--"

He seems to be reading from an invisible scroll; in an instant, a wash of healing flows over the group. (The channel)

Li seems ready to travel on, until Yanguang hoots and flies over to Conloach, circling his head and looking back at Li Po Wen, who groans. "Oh NO come on I already--"

A fresh bruise appears on the blue man's face, while Conloach heals fully. Li Po huffs, and turns to Torku. "--You said something of a more efficient form of healing?!"

***

"I at least feel less turmoil in my guts," Li Po hazards as they approach their next trial. "One must look on... the little bright spots..."

Is it indeed an hour between locations? I missed that-- if so, Barkskin is quite expired on those who had it up. I also need to remember to cast false life, and will do so now:

1d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Sounds are like the votes are with continuing!

Travelling through a tapestry portal, you arrive in a vast cavern. Incoherent murmurs and groans echo through this large, dark cave. Tall Stalagmites emerge from the cave floor surrounded by shallow pools of water. Ahead, a dim purplish light emanating from a multifacted black gemstone the size of a human skull illuminates several humanoid forms heaped around the stone.

The cavern is dark except for dim light in a 20' radius around the gemstone. The ceilings are 20' high.

One of the duergar in the distance shouts something unintelligible and battle is joined! You see two duergar that are both without armor, another duergar that is wearing some sort of leather armor and a third duergar that appears to have been transformed into a ghoul!

You also see a large number of what appear to be captives from several races arrayed around the crystal. They appear to be unconscious.

Conlaoch can act! I'll remind you guys now that we got an Aid Token a while ago that we haven't used. Now might be a good time.

(Not my turn yet but voting we use the aid token for sure, we've been sitting on it a while)

Yes, willing to be life linked. Thank you!

Conlaoch charges at blue, and ends the run by slashing up with his blade.

Charge, power attack, furious focus: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 2 = 23
Damage: 1d10 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

I am on my phone so can’t update the map, so could someone put me adjacent to the blue dwarf.

Conlaoch cuts down the duergar he charged and he gets attacked in return. Both the ghoul and the red duergar got results of AC 16 vs Conlaoch. It looks like that hits his charging AC but I'm not 100% certain how to read that AC entry. The ghoul bit him for 2 damage and the red duergar punched him for 8 damage. Those are pre-DR values.

Assuming that those did hit, I need three Fortitude saves from Conlaoch. (disease, paralyzation & stunning fist)

Yoon, Torku and Li Po Wen can act! As a reminder, we still have that Aid Token. First person to say they want to use it does so. If you need to review it to see what Aid Tokens can do, GM Cwethan posted a link on the Discussion page.

Conlaoch gets +1 dodge bonus to AC when adjacent to two or more enemies, so the first one to approach might have had a slightly easier time of it that the second. But since he charged, his AC was at best 15 here, so both hits are good. Don't forget he also has DR 1/-, so that helps keep the wounds lessened. So I have him at 8 damage, and needing 3 saves.

Fort Save vs disease: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
For Save vs paralyzation: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
For Save vs stunning: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

**OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT**

The repair teams have patched the rift beneath the Muckmouth. They discovered that the tapestry itself is generating massive amounts of necromantic energy around the rifts. The Muckmouth is secured!

GMs, the Muckmouth Secured condition on Page 10 is now in effect!

Torku shakes his head at Conlaoch's recklessness. Holding his rapier in front of him, the tiefling twirls it rapidly in front of him and walking towards the duergar and ghoul. As he does so, the tip of the blade glows red and leaves a faint afterglow that strengthens with each rotation until the spell flares into place and fades into transparency.

Casting shield and moving. Statbar has been updated.

Yoon will move and throw fire!

"To me, pathfiders! Gum-gum needs you!"activating the aid token. the inspire courage one.

green: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 1 = 24]
fire: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 2 = 4]

Is it fair to assume that I already ID'd ghouls earlier and therefore know that green's a ghoul? If not, here's a religion check:

religion vs undead: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 ...well, if I didn't already know, I sure do now

"Another of those accursed ghouls!" Li Po groans in dread. "And..."

Kn Local for duergar?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

(Just in case they're something other than normal duergar, I won't post my OOC knowledge on duergar here; if it would be a different skill than Local, Li Po's skill values are in his statblock. But he will share what he learns, prioritizing special attcks.)

"It is very clear you are not supposed to be here!" Li Po yells at the ghoul and the duergar. "Or even working together! The living and the abominable undead! Unnatural! Unlawful! Imperial and natural law are VERY clear on the matter!"

As he upbraids the enemies with a mixture of fear and outrage, a burst of Tien characters, shaped out of light, washes over the nearer duergar, the ghoul, and (if it matters) the black gemstone and the slumped figures around it.

Burst of Radiance, Reflex DC 16: 3d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 4) = 11

Evil creatures take the damage regardless of their save; the save is to determine whether or not they are blinded or simply dazzled (on a save). If it matters for the gemstone, the spell has the "light" and "good" descriptors.

Duration of blinded/dazzled, in rounds: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Is there any skill that might be relevant to understand the gemstone's purpose or nature?

**OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT**

The repair teams have patched the rift at the Temple of Empyreal Enlightenment. The nightmare is over, and Korada’s faithful now lend us their aid! The Temple is secured!

GMs, the Temple Secured condition on page 11 is in effect!

I just remembered that someone put barkskin on Conlaoch - would that have still been in effect?

Conlaoch: the scenario says that each encounter should take about an hour with 10 minutes of travel time between locations, so the Barkskin wouldn't have been up anymore.

The party doesn't know this yet, but Conlaoch did fail his saving throw against Ghoul Fever. We'll need to remember to resolve that later. He made his other saving throws, however.

Li Po Wen: I'm looking at 10' burst shapes and I don't see a way to get both of the targets you included without also getting Conlaoch in the spell. See Core p215, but I'll also draw a relevant burst shape on the map. Where would you like to center the burst?

**OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT**

The waters of the Eternal Lake flow once more, and our repair teams have patched the nearby rift. The kappas make for strange companions, but they have pledged unending loyalty to the Society. The Eternal Lake is secured!

GMs, the Eternal Lake Secured condition on page 11 is in effect!

**OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT**

The repair teams have patched the rift at Round Mountain. Be on the lookout! Before closing the rift, the team glimpsed a mysterious sailing vessel lurking in the Astral Plane. Round Mountain is secured!

In addition, the repair teams have patched the rift at Slave Mountain. Many slaves are now free, and they have pledged their aid! Slave Mountain is also secured!

GMs, the Round Mountain Secured (page 10) and Slave Mountain Secured (page 11) conditions are both in effect.

Hmmmm, my bad of miscounting on the burst, yeah. Thanks for the template. Too bad. If you'll permit a retcon of that action, I'll advance 30' and grant Fortune to Torku. Torku, you can roll twice on one roll within the next round and take the better result.

If it'd be too much hassle to retcon, I'll just hit the ghoul with the burst

A lot of catchup (for me) from the weekend to do. Let's get started...

Yoon's firebolt hits the ghoul squarely, but does not stop the fierce monstrosity. You included the inspire bonus to your attack, but not to damage, so you get +1 more!

Li Po Wen: You definitely remember what you learned about ghouls from the prior encounter. As for duergar, I was a bit lazy not including a spoiler for them. They're basically just dwarves, though, with some spell-like abilities like Enlarge Person or Ironskin. Given the burst mechanics we discussed, you can definitely revise your action, so Torku has Fortune for the next round.

The yellow hued duergar moves next to the crystal while gathering components for a bomb. With a maddened cackle, he throws the bomb at Conlaoch, but overthrows the warrior! It lands on the ground behind him with a sizzling splash of corrosive acid. 3 acid damage to Conlaoch from splash, DC 13 Reflex to take 1 damage instead.

Initiative Order:

Cleetus and Conlaoch can act! Remember that Inspire Courage (+1) is currently active. Also see my next post below: I need to tell you about all these conditions that just became active.

The lizardfolk lend some of their newfound magic to the Society. Muckmouth Secured: You gain one free use of the Aid Token's Burst of Healing benefit.

Round Mountain stabilizes and stops spinning, and the ratfolk emerge from their home to aid the Society in navigating the tapestry. Round Mountain Secured: At the beginning of one encounter, you can activate this benefit to increase the land speed of the party by 10' for the duration of the encounter.

The faithful of Korada disperse from the temple to provide healing to the Pathfinders. Temple Secured: Once during the adventure, you can activate this benefit to instantaneously cure every PC of the following conditions: fatigued, shaken, sickened, dazed & staggered.

Freed slaves from Slave Mountain join the Pathfinders in battling the malevolent forces in the tapestry. Slave Mountain Secured: At the beginning of one encounter, you can activate this benefit to gain a 12 temporary hit points that can last until the end of the encounter.

The kappas of Eternal Lake profess eternal gratitude and heap praise upon the Pathfinders. Eternal Lake Secured: You gain one free use of the Aid Token's Timely Inspiration benefit that the party can use at their discretion.

Incidentally, this pile of results suggests that the House is doing quite well.

**OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT**

Our new allies on the patchwork plane have granted the repair teams access to the rift, and it is repaired. These allies can help in the coming battles. The Patchwork Allies are secured!

GMs, the Patchwork Allies Secured condition on page 11 is in effect!

New allies from a variety of Tapestry natives join the fray with the Society. Patchwork Allies Secured: The group gains one free use of the Aid Token's Allied Offensive benefit.

Continue with the encounter, but our Overseer GM says that the next part will start tomorrow given the result above.

Charging into the fray, Cleetus roars and launches himself into the air making an airborne strike at the Duergar that struck Conlaoch.

"Woooo Boy! Here comes the beat down!"

Unarmed Strike, Charge, Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 15
Beat Down(Unarmed Strike, Dragon Style, Inspire Courage): 1d6 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9

Cleetus charges with Dragon style increasing the damage by 1.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
Not sure if DR is post or pre reflex, but it seems like post would be appropriate.

Attack vs Green, Power attack, furious focus, Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 11 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d10 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 14 + 1 = 25

DR only applies to damage that is bludgeoning, slashing or piercing and this is none of those. Your DR won't apply to this acid damage.

**OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT**

Aram Zey stands once more before the tapestry, a renewed light in his sunken eyes. “The Hao Jin Tapestry is stable at last. While you were performing your duties, I have reached a better understanding of the chaos you faced. The tapestry is still in dire condition. Lacking Hao Jin’s own magic, the tapestry has been using small pieces of departing souls to maintain itself over the centuries. This mechanism is depleting the tapestry’s water sources and spawning undead horrors. However, thanks to you, we have time to search for a more permanent fix. For now, get some rest, and—”

The former Master of Spells staggers back as a three-foot tear down the center of the fabric gouts sudden flame. Pathfinder agents flock around him, scrambling to assess the damage. A vein pops out on his forehead, and he yells sharply, “Pathfinders! What have you done?” He cuts himself short, taking a deep breath and muttering to himself, “Keep it together. Don’t take it out on the agents.” Frowning, he returns his gaze to the tapestry, his eyes darting wildly across its surface. When he speaks again, his voice is low and determined, “This new rift is no accident. Something is attacking the tapestry from the Astral Plane. Damage of this magnitude must have spawned hundreds more undead. Quickly, re-enter the demiplane and fend off the invaders!”

GMs, please begin part 3!
