The Shards of Oberon

Game Master FangDragon

Xindyra's lineage would call that chaotic efficient. ;)
But she's willing to try a fight with them.

Edwin decided to take the opertunity to explore the complex with his arcane eye. Afterwards he related what her had found,

"I saw a calendar in a manager's office. There's several events going on here this week: after the cultists tonight, there's a a metallurgical conference, a brewer's guild meeting and a primitive art exhibition based on local archeology later in the week. I doubt the building management cares about Nylarthotep; I think gold is what they worship.

"Mr Teller is hanging out with the priestess in a small conference room in the north west corner of the building. He's supposed to be Red the assassin's love interest but he's flirting with the priestess. She's playing hard to get, but I think she's interested. I wonder what Red would think about that."

Sense Motive, Perceive Cues: 1d20 + 5 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 5 = 30

He went on to describe the overall layout of the building.

"Really now. Well, what do you suppose an assassin would do with such information?", she says with a wink and a smile.

"It would save us trouble, i suppose."

Zendara chuckles

Getting her to kill them for us... I love that idea, but I am not sure we have the time to find her, inform her, and they might talk her out of it anyway... too much left to chance. Probably we have to take care of it ourselves.

She waits to see if anyone will argue, or has a safer idea, but if not, she starts towards the northwest conference room.

"Do we really want to fight them in the conference room, when they are together? Lure one out to start with, then get the jump on them, and then proceed with the second?"

Well, if we lure them out then we could start a big panic in the whole building. If we just take that room, we might be able to keep it quiet...? But if you think that we can get them one at a time without pulling in anyone else, willing to try.

*slight sigh*

"Fair point. But i'll need to chug down a number of things for a proper fight."

"To think, if i'd have drank the number of cocktails for this, back in college, i'd definitely would have passed out."

Can y'all please place yourselves on the map while you plan your next move? What happens next will depend a little on where you choose to go.

Since we have the overall layout of the building, do we know about that secret door (assuming the $ indicates it is secret)? Do we know if we can get into the meeting room from above? Would love those answers before I decide, but right now I am leaning on going back down the way we came and finding them from the lower level.

Oh I missed your post, sorry. Yes you can figure out there must be a secret door there. The meeting room has a normal ceiling height. In theory you could come in though the windows but that'd likely attract attention from passers by.

Zendara heads downstairs, intending to slip backstage again, then use the secret door to get to the conference room in question.

I put arrows on the map indicating the approximate direction in case it isn't clear from what I said. Hopefully we can get them there, and prevent them escaping.

Zendara leads the way and the party manages to sneak into another empty conference room to the south of the one where Mr Teller and the priestess where chatting. The door was closed but you could hear their muffled voices through it.

Edwin cast a spell, raising a magical shield, then crept up to the door and listened.

Casting Shield on himself.

Perception, Perceive Cues: 1d20 + 13 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 5 = 23

He whispered to his companions, "It sounds like Mr Teller is giving the Priestess a massage. She's planning on taking over the mines and getting the gold and diamonds."

Zendara listens as well

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27

She nods at Edwin's statement and then adds

Yeah, but the real goal is what Andrea Meedes was studying... the standing stones dedicated to Elodin. And this woman is the one that ordered her killed.

Ready? she asks everyone.

If everyone is ready, Zendara checks the door. If it is unlocked, she opens it a crack as silently as possible, enough to accommodate her bronze griffon figurine, pushes it through, and then speaks the command word, mentally asking it to prevent their quarry from escaping through the other door.

Then she opens the door all the way for the rest of the party and starts shooting.

Assuming we need initiative at this point, and probably everyone else gets a round of preparation in the time that Edwin took to cast a spell and I was opening the door and activating the Griffon, but of course defer to the DM on exact timing, etc.

I assume everyone's ready, it's been 2 days.

On the count of three, the party bursts into the conference room. On the far side, Mr Teller was giving the priestess a rather vigorous and hardly platonic massage.

Mr Teller snatched his greatsword sword up and snarled as he turned to face you, "Oh look what the cat dragged in, this will be fun."

The priestess by contrast smiled evilly, remarking to Mr Teller "Nyarlathotep be praised! My feast has arrived!"

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 | fail

Edwin cast a spell and moved into the room.

Casting Mirror Image

Number of Images: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Judgin bey the map, I'm assuming we see a large bird in here?

I was going to ask, does anyone know what that is?

That is the bronze griffon that I activated and instructed to keep them from escaping, as detailed in my last post.

Oh I'd forgotten all about Zendara having a Bronze Griffon figurine. Yes that makes sense now! Zendara you can use that on your turn. According to the item description the stats of the griffon should be this. I very much doubt they're expecting this...

Edwin moves into the room and with a word of power he's surrounded by a quartet of doubles!

I'd prefer not to bot Yukarii, but I will tomorrow if needed.

If the griffon isn't summoned yet, Edwin will start by activating Sudden Speed as a Swift Action, and move around to the priestess (adjusted token on map).I mistook the griffon as an enemy that needed to be countered.

Since I said that the griffon was the first thing I was doing, shouldn't we at least get a roll to see if I could open the door a crack and get that in first before they noticed? They were quite distracted after all. The goal was that the Griffon would surprise them and then they would already be distracted when we opened the door all the way to get in.

If not, that is fine, but I didn't open the door all the way until I had already slid the statue through the door into the room, and the griffon doesn't need summoning. It is just a command word, so it seems kind of pointless to use my prep round on that if it can't already be there. If that is the case, then can I retroactively cast invisibility instead?

Yeah OK they probably should make perception checks, since they where quite distracted xD

-5 circumstance bonus because you know...
Priestess Perception: 1d20 + 16 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 16 - 5 = 25
Mr Teller Perception: 1d20 + 6 - 5 ⇒ (14) + 6 - 5 = 15

OK looks like they noticed. You can absolutely cast invisibility the round before and also use the command word on this round if you like or do something else if not!

Edwin didn't cast Mirror Image ahead of time, because he was worried about being overheard.

Hmm looks like Yukarii is distracted, guess I'll have to bot. I'll have to remember how her character works... Hmm she has mirror image too.

Yukarii decides Edwin's approach is the right idea and suddenly with a world of power there's multiple Yukariis!
Mirror Image: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

He needs to use a pair of move actions here.
Mr Teller picks himself up and retrieves his sword, and points at Edwin and growls, "Thought I smelled a rat, you're going down son!"

The priestess points at Edwin and snarls, "BE SILENT!"
Edwin will DC 18: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 <--- FAIL Oops!

Xindyra, Zendara, Edwin and Yukarii are up. Note to Yukarii you might want to consider dispelling that silence off Edwin.

I'll defer to the GM, but with time on our hands before the fight started, these are what she'd drink in preparation for a proper fight, she suggested doing as much.

Xindyra climbs up onto the table, pointing her rapier at Teller.
Kn. Religion, heroism: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 2 + (6) = 30

"Yikes, she's a vampire that drinks off minds of others, be careful Edwin."

She jabs at Teller, after studying him for a moment as a swift action.

Technically Yukarii isn't even in there since I'd had her stay outside when she realized sneaking was involved and no one came for her. THat being said I'll improvise so she is there.

Yukarii had waited outside long enough, called Yukaari out and hid her within her own form as she went in after the others. When she heard the sound of fighting she was glad she had. She cast her mirror images and then realized that Edwin was silenced so she decided to do something about that.

dispell magic on the silence: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Momentarily surprised at the quick reactions of their opponents, Zendara finally speaks the command word and mentally commands the griffon to prevent their opponents from leaving, leaving the interpretation of that command up to the griffon.

Invisible, she then steps behind one of Yukarii's doubles (or was that Yukarii?) and starts to sing to inspire the courage of her companions.

+2 attack and +2 damage and +2 on saving throws against charm and fear effects.

Y'all picked the fight so it makes sense you can pre-buff Xindrya. @Edwin Yukarii's dispell will work - just, so if you wish to defer you can act normally.

I'll give Edwin another 24h before botting.

I thought it wasn't Edwin's turn yet.

Edwin slashed away at Mr. Teller.

Slashing Damage, bane, arcane strike, inspire courage: 1d4 + 9 + 2 + 2d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 2 + (4, 6) + 3 + 2 = 30

I'n assuming that Mr.Teller is, in fact a human. Not attacking the Priestess, since she apparently is not.

Correct he does indeed appear to be human.

Xindrya's rapier blurs, moving quicker than the eye! She scored a nice touch on his left bicep which soon turned red!

Somewhere in the room, hidden by magics Zendara starts to sing a rousing song of battle!

Yukarii chanted a spell which shattered the bubble of silence around Edwin.

Edwin sent a well aimed slash at Mr Teller but the man parried his blade,
sending sparks flying!

Mr Teller acknowledged Xindrya's thrust with a mocking reply of, "Touch, my turn!" He clicked his heels together and suddenly blurred! Six feet of steel came swinging at Xindrya with frightening speed and accuracy! She managed to parry two of his blows which numbed her hands, the third one got through slicing into her shoulder.

Xindrya felt an alien presence in her mind, but it couldn't get a toe hold and with a shake of her head it was gone!

Edwin focused his blade's power, and tried again to defeat Mr. Teller's defenses.

Taking a hit, she frowns a second, but then XIndyra continues jabbing at Teller.

For Teller's further strikes, Xindyra spends 1 panache for a parry & reposte.

Zendara thinks through different spells she could cast, like silence or gravity bow, but the first would get in the way of her friends and the second... well, they had to work quickly in case someone was hearing all of this and calling the guards, and she didn't want to waste any more time.

As the first arrow leaves her bow, headed for Mr. Teller, Zendara, still singing, becomes visible to all.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 2 = 28 (point blank, inspire courage, favored enemy, rapid shot)

Damage 3: 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 15

Having taken Mr Teller's measure, Xindyra notes several flaws in Mr Teller's swordwork. He relies too much on brute force and she feinted which he tried to parry leaving him open for a vicious jab to the kidneys.

"OOF! Ya got me ye rapscallion!" he grunted.

Edwin aimed a powerful blow at the man, but he managed just to parry the blow.

Appearing from nowhere, Zendara's arrows where too numerous and she was too close for him to realistically dodge, although his unpredictable movement meant only two hit. Still he was left with several half inch thick arrows jutting out of his chest.

I know Yukarii is having PC problems, so I'll give her another day since I'm not really sure how best to bot her.

Hey, I think the damage log might be off by one. If one of the attacks missed it had to be the 25, right? So the 28 and the 30 add up to 26 damage rather than 25. No big, but I don't want him hanging on by a thread and killing one of us. :)

Edwin apparently missed with a 26, FWIW, although I guess that was parried.

Lets see. He's got AC 27 so last round Edwin missed, Xindrya hit. Zendara hit twice (25 dmg total). I think I got that correct?

"Darling! It's been fun dancing, but now it's time for you to shuffle off this mortal coil." grunted Mr Teller as he unleashed a blindly fast sequence of moves and slices. Unfortunately he very much got the worst of this exchange with Xindrya parrying his first blow and scoring another nasty touch on the riposte. There was still fight lift in him but Mr Teller's wounds where adding up and there was blood everywhere.

The priestess starts staring at Xindrya in the way one would a tasty morsel of food.

Suddenly her claws come out and she brushes past Edwin to rake at Xindrya! The plucky lass manages to dodge from one but not the other. Her talons left a shallow cut, albeit one filled with venom! Xindrya felt her arm start to go numb but, the gods be praised, the numbness didn't spread!

She only hits him once, but she is determined to take him down.

Yukarii focused and lashed out with her mind at the mind of Mr Teller hoping to finish him off before moving back behind the gryphon.

Mind Thrust DC 16: 5d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 6, 5, 3, 2) + 5 = 25

Mr Teller seems to be tiring for Xindrya managed to score yet another touch, the point of her blade whipping this way and that, bypassing his desperate attempts to parry.

Hands moving like a blur, Zendara sends a trio of arrows. In her haste to finish the man off, two missed, but she managed to hit his left shoulder although the arrow went through.

Edwin tried his luck, sending what would have been a thunderous stroke in his direction, but Mr teller managed to turn the ratfolk's blade aside.

Yukarii's mental thrust took the man by surprise but he proved surprisingly resilient.

Mr Teller Will DC 16: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 <--- PASS

Teeth gritted and his face in a terrible grimace, Mr Teller tried to smash through Xindrya's guard but to no avail. But she parried his attack easily and on the riposte she scored yet another touch. His sword fell to the floor and he slowly sunk to his knees...

Attack 2: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 18 (manyshot)
Damage 2: 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 11

Attack 3: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 30 (rapid shot)
Damage 3: 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 13

Attack 4: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 26
Damage 4: 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 9

Realized that with many shot, rapid shot, and a BAB that allows an extra attack, I should have been doing 4 attacks, not 3, even though technically manyshot is two arrows at once. Anyway, that's why there is another one in there. Took out the favored enemy bonus for humans because of the "vampire cleric" line. We'll see if I can hit her with the rapid shot penalties. If not, might have to slow down and aim carefully. :)

AC went up to 34, from fighting defensively, having the minimum 3 ranks in acrobatics.

With Teller gone down, Xindyra's focus switched to the vampire priestess.

Swift action to apply studied combat.

Rapier, mutagen, heroism, inspired, studied combat, high ground, defensively: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 1 - 4 = 20Dmg, mutagen, inspired, studied target: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 + 2 + 3 = 17

Probably a miss.

Edwin persisted in trying to hit Mr.Teller.

+1 Scimitar, bane, inspire courage: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 12 + 2 + 2 = 27
Slashing Damage, bane, arcane strike, inspire courage, Black Blade Strike: 1d4 + 9 + 2 + 2d6 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 2 + (6, 4) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 31

Going to give Yukarii another 24h.

The gryphon can fest on his heart. Pretty sure there's no easy way to come back from that.

Xindra moves in to attack the cleric, but she steps aside.

Zendara's arms blur and soon a trio of feathered arrows jut out from the woman's torso. Weirdly though she doesn't even flinch, it's like she doesn't feel the pain.

Edwin's blade crackled with power and when it struck her, a dark pulse of radiance burst out enhancing the damage done and leaving a deep deep cut in her side.

What would Yukarii do? I'm not sure really, but she can cast Dispel Magic a number of times and yes the priestess is buffed.

Once more Yukarii chanted words of nullification and the area around the priestess was momentarily filled with static. But nothing seemed to happen beyond that.
Dispel Magic?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 <--- FAIL

Her unnaturally long tongue slavering, the priestess was all over Xindrya like a rash. Yet for all her willingness to bring the tiefling into a fatal embrace, Xindrya was having none of it, rebuffing her every attempt.
Claw: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 <--- MISS
Claw: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 <--- MISS

Unable to touch Xindrya, her eyes turned to Edwin!
