GM Erich's The Harrowing (Tier 8-10) (Inactive)

Game Master Thereus, Silver Crusader

With the demon gone Leosa steps around the table looking for anymore threats.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32

With the immediate threat neutralized, Leosa searches for any other. She gets that familiar pang in her head signaling the invasion of a foreign spirit, but the protective ward serves her well again. River feels it as well, but his vast inner reserve proves too hardy.

Unwilling to further test your wills, the two remaining shadow demons burst forth from their magical hiding and their ghostly forms slip from the walls like falling water, before blending into the shadows again.

choices, choices: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5
River's Will Save: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21 Almost...

Leosa <clay skin, see invisibility, fly, prot evil, aid>
Yellow Shadow Demon <invisible>
Orange Shadow Demon <invisible>

Woohoo I knew buying all the save boosting items was a good idea :)

Catching a glimpse of more demons hiding in the darkness, River tries the remaining trick he has for revealing the unseen, and starts casting a spell through ritual dance and chanting.

Assuming he thinks it will work, he's casting Invisibility Purge

The Invisibility Purge will work.

Leosa takes a step back to avoid getting separated from the rest of the party and starts working to disperse orange.

Attack, Bless: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 17 + 1 = 35

delay

”Alright, Vendalfek, you can stop now.” Not-Trixie’s voice is still shaky, but she squares her shoulders and hesitantly heads back down the stairs. You heard the demon’s death scream. You can do this. You are not alone. She keeps repeating the mantra as she descends.

As soon as she spots another shadow demon, the wizard snaps into action. With a wave of her hand, she conjures five silvery darts that all race towards the closer incorporeal opponent!

CL vs SR (if needed): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Force damage: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 3, 2) + 5 = 20

Move and cast magic missile, boosting CL with a reservoir point to get that fifth missile. Can’t quite figure out where opponents are on the map, so move Not-Trixie as appropriate, GM.

Sihir's shadow-lantern wastes no time in assaulting its dark counterparts...

light ray vs Orange: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
omnidamage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

light ray vs Orange: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
omnidamage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

...to which Sihir himself heads down and adds an ethereal grey light beam of his own...

Blinding Ray vs Orange: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

...not that it amounts to much, as he nearly trips down the oversized stairs.

As the demons suddenly appear after River’s spell, Daedîn fires three cold iron arrows at the nearest (orange) demon...

Magic/Cold Iron Damage: 1d6 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 + 1 + 4 = 12

River's spell spreads across the kitchen, revealing the dark foes in turn. The rest of the party springs into action. Sihir's archon enlightens the nearest demon but the lantern lights are curiously ineffective and it dodges his blinding ray with disdain. Daedîn unleashes his volley into the closest demon, but only one arrow finds its target.

Overcoming her fear, Not-Trixie races to a spot under the archon and fills the newest demon with missile after missile of piercing force. Leosa's hammer pummels the demon further, causing it to wither substantially.

The furthest demon pounces onto River, tearing at his flesh and the dreaded wards he now emanates. The wounded demon pulls back and fills the remainder of the room with frightening thoughts once again.

Your minds fill with the hideous voice screeching - "We shall avenge the Bishop!"

Need DC 18 will saves from all but River and Vendaflek or be panicked. Shaken for 1 round on a successful save.

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 (Wow, it’s a near miracle Daedîn has made all his Will saves this encounter)

Daedîn unloads three cold iron arrows at the orange demon if it’s still standing...if not, then yellow...

River flies away from the shadow demon that's been attacking him, a pained expression on his face.

He's got no acrobatics so he'll have to eat the AoO

"Amá sání!"

The same ghostly shoanti woman that you've seen before appears between River and the demon and immediately attacks (hopefully)
Spiritual Ally spell resistance: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 2 = 23
Spiritual ally Lvl,WIS: 1d20 + 10 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 7 = 25
Force damage: 1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

The ally occupies its space and can take attacks of opportunity etc, though if you want to acrobatics around it it's anyone's guess how to calculate its CMD

Spiritual ally rounds:1/10

Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Leosa's attacks continue, undeterred.

Attack, Bless: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 1 = 16
Damage: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

If orange goes down Leosa will close with yellow to flank with River's ally.

Unaffected by fear, the group rages on. River's new ally imposes over the demon. As it turns to face the new threat, River's volley of arcane force disintegrates it completely.

Daedîn angles his bow to the remaining foe, but it proves hard to strike more than once. Leosa's hammer tears away some of its essence.

Emboldened by the odds, the demon slides down toward the wall and fills the entrance of the room with shadowy black flames.

Two saves from everyone but River, first is DC 19 to disbelieve the spell and take 20% damage instead (7 points), second save is the DC 19 reflex to take half of that damage (or evade)

Wow, can't believe Daedîn's luck with his Will saves is still continuing...hope there's no more as I think he's spent his powder...

Reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

Surprisingly, Daedîn disbelieves the spell and evades any damage from the spell. With a wicked grin, he fires at the shadow demon...

Sorry GM, forgot to include the miss rolls above...

Miss<=50: 1d100 ⇒ 90
Miss<=50: 1d100 ⇒ 70
Miss<=50: 1d100 ⇒ 23

Question for future reference, GM. If Daedîn would've had ghost salt arrows, would he still have to roll for concealment misses?

Ghost salt would make it so your arrows did full damage against an incorporeal creature. The miss chance is from the dim light condition (was dark down here, daylight spell made it dim light)

Oh sorry, GM, I misunderstood. And please excuse my ignorance on this matter, but I'm guessing an Elf's lowlight vision isn't any help in dim light as far as concealment goes then, is that right?

Yeah, low-light just lets you see farther in dim light than say, a human. Only darkvision negates the concealment miss chance.

Whoops, looks like the forums ate last round's post! No need to retcon.

Not wanting to deplete her magical reservoirs with a dragon on the loose, Not-Trixie dodges the worst of the shadowy flames and heads back up the stairs. If I don't get injured, that's less resources needed later, she reasons with herself - though her fingers curl tightly at the memory of the fright only a few seconds ago.

Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Ref: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Undaunted by the illusion Leosa takes a quick step to pen the shadow in

before clubbing him over the head with her hammer.

River gives the remaining demon an evil-eye and chants to make the effect more pronounced.

Is this the same shadow demon I already attacked? If not I need another SR check I think

Looks like you already made my Will save, DM, and a fine saving throw it is (although you left out my other +2 bonus)!

Reflex save vs Evil/Shadow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Naturally, Sihir has no trouble recognizing shadow magic for what it is - but his, shall we say, professional appreciation for the magic kind of gets in the way of his ability to actually dodge the blasted blast.

Shadow Lantern Will save vs Evil: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Like continues to recognize like as the shadowy archon shines truth amid the dark flames...

Shadow Lantern Reflex save vs Evil: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

...though it too has a bit of a problem dodging them, and even the enfeebled flameshadows manage to dim the lantern significantly.

Sensing its time growing short - as well as the nearby presence of a kind soul in need of spiritual support, the gentle ball gracefully orbits Not-Trixie as it bestows its kindly blessing.

aid on Not-Trixie: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Sihir, seeing the remaining demon's luck appears to be rapidly running out, is content to attempt another one of his ethereal moonbeams.

Blinding Ray: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
CL vs SR: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

@Sihir Actually that was the will save vs fear (my fault for not labeling)...still need a will save to see if you disbelieve and take less damage.

River's ally strikes hard into the demon, followed by Sihir's blinding flash and Psycho's missiles. Daedîn's second arrow finally releases the dread demon from existence and the room is silent once more.

Combat Over!
River of Stars <heightened awareness, heroism, fly, daylight, invisibility purge> -26 damage

------------------------------------------------

There is nothing else of significance in the kitchen, other than the clay and mortar baked goods now fill much of the available workspace.

An angered scream echoes from the main hall above and pierces the silence. see map

Will save vs Evil/Shadow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 Yeah, ha-ha, NO, f&%& you demon, I AM THE MASTER OF SHADOW HERE!!!

Sihir's shadow archon does its best to spend the rest of its fleeting (but exciting and good!) existence sharing its blessings with its friends.

Aid on:

River: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Psycho: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Daedîn: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Do-overs (because it can) for:

Double-Do-Over for Daedîn: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Sihir: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Looks like we're heading back up to some trouble.

Moving to the other room. Feel free to finish up your healing or cast another buff on the way over. Note the shadow archon "Aids" granted to many of you. The 2 minute Communal Protection from Evil would have disappeared (one of you has a minute left), a few other short term buffs will disappear after this next encounter.

Opening up the door to reveal the source of the screaming, you find another tower beyond. This room stinks of chemical smells. Over-sized vats, racks, hearths, and an assortment of cutting tools suggest grim activities in this dark, reeking chamber.

Two large creatures have just moved down the stairs leading from the tower above. One is a powerful giant with blue-green skin and eyes - flashing a scowl that highlights her pearlescent teeth and carrying a trident. The male following her is a muscular giant with crimson skin and small black horns, wielding an imposing falchion.

Because of the Daylight streaming in, the room is now cast in dim light.

I think the aids would expire too wouldn't they? Spells cast by summoned creatures expire when the spell that summoned them expires I think

River heals himself after the combat while suffering the admonition of his grandmother's spirit for constantly getting himself into scrapes and for not eating enough and for not finding a partner and so on. Mercifully after a minute they have to say goodbye as she vanishes.

CLW: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (3, 7) + 2 = 12

He'll happily use any healing wands people have on them if required, or his own if they don't have them.

Interesting on the expiration of the summoned creature's spells. I did not know that.

Going to give Leosa and Daedîn a bit more time to act. Here are the knowledge results so far. On the efreet, he deals a bit of fire damage whenever it hits in melee or grapples and the weak save is fortitude (barely). It can also change size twice a day.

Daedîn fires quickly at the flat-footed red male...

This is going to hurt, wish Lamont was still here. Leosa thinks to herself as she takes a step forward and follows Daedin's arrows will a pair of hammer swings.

Daedîn strikes first, leaving an arrow hanging in the efreet's smoldering side. Leosa steps forward and follows with two powerful smashes against his legs.

The marid steps back and smashes her trident into a series of pipes along the wall, snapping them and forcing a torrent of water to spray the walls and floor. Leosa floats gingerly above the waterline as it begins to fill the sunken room.

The efreet slips back over the flooding floor and fills the air with an overwhelming barrage of fiery rays, nearly bringing the wayang warrior down.

He then flies up next to her and casts cure critical wounds

"On it!" Not-Trixie begins tracing broad strokes in the air, seeming to push one after another aside as both hands work furiously. Thank goodness everyone is so close still, she thinks to herself as her mouth quickly repeats the strange phrases she recently learned. As the words come to an end, she reaches out to touch Sihir and Vendalfek momentarily before stepping into the doorway and warding the rest of her companions.

Vendalfek, the Marriage!

Mawwiage. Vendalfek produces the Harrow deck with a flick of his wing. Mawwiage is what bwings us togethew today. Effortlessly, he plucks a card from the deck. Mawwiage, that bwessed awwangement, that dweam within a dweam. He holds the card in flat in both hands, as if it were on a cushion. And wove, twue wove, wiww fowwow you fowevah and evah… Triumphantly, he presents the image of the salamander and water weird together. So tweasuwe youw wove… He pauses, glancing down at Sihir. Have you the wing?

Playing the Marriage card from the deck.

Ambient lighting check?

Sihir looks back up at Vendalfek. "Have you not two?" He inquires before suddenly disappearing; a moment later, Leosa appears to twirl wildly in place - despite not moving her body - for a second or two before stopping again. That was where she was just standing...wasn't it?

If the efreet is still up, Daedîn fires at it...if not, he’ll move 5’ NE and fire at the marid...

Dim light inside the "dark" room from River's daylight spell.

Not-Trixie wards the group with resistance to the efreet's rays as her familiar casts a card forth. The twin foes illuminate slightly as the card releases its strange power. River rushes to Leosa's side and heals the lion's share of her wounds and Sihir deems her to be harder to target in the future. Psycho forces pure pain into his thoughts and Daedîn finds an opening on his outstretched arm. Renewed by her friends, Leosa swings mightily at the fire-wrapped genie and splays him with a guttural wail.

The marid screeches at the efreet's slaying and turns her massive trident at the shadowdancer in a rageful fit. Leosa escapes each blow by magic or cunning, which only angers the woman even more.

I think River is at full HP as he started the day with 19 temp HP from greater false Life

River points at the marid and calls down some stardust so she's easier to see.

-3 to attack rolls, sight based perception and she can't benefit from concealment or invisibility for 5 rounds

Daedîn switches targets to the marid...

Leosa steps in behind Daedin's arrows and keeps the Marid engaged.

"You will also feel some headache!"

Psycho tries to effect mind of MArid.

DC20 Will for half

Not-Trixie retreats carefully, watching to see if the marid survived such a fearsome onslaught of blows before expending more of her magical reserves.

Delay

River lights the marid with an interstellar glow allowing Psycho, Daedîn and Leosa to easily buffet her with attacks.
