GM Kate's Extinction Curse [closed]

Game Master Kate Baker

Prism's head quickly shifts back and forth as the conversation goes at rapid speed even for her. She grabs at the man's clothes and squeals. "Ohmygosh! Howlong..weryou..inthere? Myname..is Corkas MukMuk Thunder Warfiz, thoughmost..justcall..mePrism." She beams a quick smile up at the man begin rapidly flashing her skin and hair through the spectrums of the rainbow with ease. "Couldyou..thinkin..there? Wereyou..thirsty? Howdid..youpee?" So many questions come to her mind. "Didyou..agein..thereor..didtime...standstill?"

"I'm Rova, Rova Moonbright, and yes, this is my friend, Thkrull," she says gesturing toward the elephant standing protectively over here. "You're lucky we came by to save you!"

Thkrull snorts at the crystals as they come a little too close, letting them know that he's not going to brook any insouciance.

He stomps his feet a few times, not to clean them, but to make sure these newcomers see the basilisk blood and realize that Thkrull is in charge of the situation and won't back down from any challenges.

The floating crystals glow as they respond to the elephant's snorts.

"ମୁଁ ତୁମକୁ ଭୟ କରେ ନାହିଁ!"

"Oh Ratis, really now. You're ten thousand years old and you're going to pick a fight with a pachyderm? ଏଠାକୁ ଆସ!" As the crystals drift a little farther from the elephant, Kennari turns back to the party. "Thkrull looks like quite the intelligent beast. And yes, I suppose I am quite fortunate that you came along, or I might be standing there as a statue until the next earthfall! As for your questions, my good gnome--Corkas, was it? Or Prism? I'm not sure I quite parsed that--as far as my subjective reality was concerned, one moment I was being attacked and felt myself stiffening, and the next I awoke to your artistic friend over there splattering me with blood. As to whether I have aged, I suppose I don't know. I believe I was only petrified for a matter of weeks--months at most. It would be difficult to detect any significant physiological aging over that time span."

His attention seems to wander back to the room around him, before another thought occurs. "Tell me, what cause does a circus have to be visiting such a place as this, anyway?"

"Oh, it's a long story. But to sum up, we think Great Groetus might be coming soon for The End, and ... I guess we're trying to learn more about that," Rova "explains." "See, the Thunder was killed when we were in Abberton, and while we were trying to figure out what happened, we discovered there were xulgaths who were behind it. And there are some right here in Moonstone Hall. So we're trying to figure out what's going on, to make sure the circus is safe -- I mean, at least until Groetus actually arrives!"

"I must say, Groetus seems like an...unusual patron for a circus."

"Oh, I don't think I've converted most of the circus yet. I mean, I've warned everyone, but sometimes people just don't believe it could actually happen, and they look at you like you're crazy. You should see how some authorities -- and especially PHARASMINS! -- react. They try to kill you, as if that could stop Groetus. I mean, that happened a lot growing up. But I also wanted to get out and see the world before He arrives, so I thought the circus would be a good way to do that," Rova explains, breathlessly (though not quite as breathlessly as Prism). "Though there has been a bit more death and fighting in the circus than I expected. Definitely more demons. We had a lot less of those growing up."

Niksi tilts her head as Rova starts to get a bit too into it. ”Do not get ahead of yourself, Rova. I remain as devoted to The Lantern King as I always was. I would also not presume upon the faiths of our family.” She eyes the scholar. ”We are a diverse group. I would not have it any other way. If we were as expected, that would be quite disappointing.”

"Yes, I would say so! Groetus and the Lantern King. Next you'll tell me you have a fire-breather dedicated to Dahak." He chuckles to himself, as his eyes begin to wander back to the walls of this chamber. "Still, I suppose I'm not one to talk. I have dedicated my life to studying a god who was dead before I was born, after all. Speaking of which, do you intend to further explore these halls? You seem quite capable, and I certainly would be glad to know you're nearby if there are more of these horrid creatures about."

Alright, here comes Unset's intro, trying to cover all the bases...

"You seem quite capable, and I certainly would be glad to know you're nearby if there are more of these horrid creatures about."

As if in response to Kennari's reference to "horrid creatures", a disturbance can suddenly be heard coming from the passage entering the chamber where you now stand.

”Hullo?” echoes a familiar voice through the stone halls.

”Hullo?” the voice cries out, growing louder as its source approaches. “Lady Drugova? Is thar anybody down here?”

Before a response can be given, the gruff, mumbling voice of the fleshwarped laborer, Unset , can be heard muttering, “I swear. If them blasted consterbles were lyin’ to me, I’ll be givin’em a good clobber er two—maybe fours—nine, even--I swears it!”

“An’ if the other circusfolk be wantin’ t’give me grief for upsettin’ the locals, so be it, says I! Folks've been callin’ me ‘Unset’ for good reason, ‘n I suppose it time that I show’em just how unsettlin’ ole Unset can be, if–oh?” The fleshwarped man’s eyes grow wide as they suddenly fall upon the rest of the party.

”Lady Drugova…Lady Warfiz…Lady Moonbright…,” Unset says, somewhat apologetically as he begins acknowledging each of the others’ presence.

”Er, and… you.” Unset, nods with uncertainty towards the human. From beneath the heavy cloak that cover most of Unset’s body, extends a big, meaty hand, its fingers varying in size and shape from one another.

”Folks call me, ‘Unset’, they does,” he says in greeting to Kennari. “I dern’t believe ye and I’ve beens acquainted, I dernt’.”

Following a quick, shake, another, smaller arm emerges from beneath Unset’s cloak, settling on his forehead. “Me pardons! I near almost forgot!” he cries, suddenly remembering the reason for his presence. A third hand emerges from beneath the cloak, holding a folded piece of paper, which Unset offers to Niksi.

“T’is a map, I believe. Seems Ibradine, the candy sellar, said she’d overheard ye all talkin’ about headin’ to some underground temple, she did. Said she’d heard o’th’place frum sum friendly local, she did. Gave me this here map to be givin’ t’ye. Said you’d be needin’ it right aways, ye would. T’find yer temple, that is.”

“Must admit, ye all t’weren’t that easy t’find, y’weren’t.” Unset continues. He looks at Kennari, ” ‘cept fer ye, there. Found ye by accident, I did. Didn’t even know ye were missin’!”

"Oooh, thanks, Unset!" Rova says. "This looks like a lot of fun. But not the right place, I don't think. We have to go deeper in here. You can join us if you want, so you don't get lost going back. I don't think we should take too long."

Niksi nearly jumps out of her (wooden) skin when Unset suddenly shows up unexpectedly. ”Unset, dear, please not call me ‘Lady.’ I am no noble and spurn any such titles of hierarchy. Just talk to me as you would anyone else in our family.” She looks over the map and is about to say something when Rova passes on the bad news. ”No worries, dear. As Rova said, please, join us if you wish! There will likely be fighting and I am not sure how accustomed you are to such things, though.”

"Oooh, thanks, Unset!" Rova says. "This looks like a lot of fun. But not the right place, I don't think. We have to go deeper in here. You can join us if you want, so you don't get lost going back. I don't think we should take too long."

"Seems Ibradine were a lookin' to be rid o'Unset, wuzz she?" Unset concludes as Rova declares the map useless. The man draws his appendages back under his cloak and his form seems to shrink."Should'a figured as such, I suppose. Should'a figured."

"Unset, dear, please not call me ‘Lady.’ I am no noble and spurn any such titles of hierarchy. Just talk to me as you would anyone else in our family.”

"Apologies, Me Lad--er, Niksi Drugova," Unset replies out of habit, before correcting himself. Despite the reprimand, Unset is pleased by the woman's words. She called me, 'family'.

”No worries, dear. As Rova said, please, join us if you wish! There will likely be fighting and I am not sure how accustomed you are to such things, though.”

"Join ye!?" exclaims Unset, surprise in his voice. "Why, I'd be honoered, I would! Though, I've got little idear whutt it is yer all a doin'."

"As for fightin', Ole Unset's been in a scrape or two, I hazz." An arm emerges and begins to flex, followed by another, and then a third. "Can readily hold me own, I can. Don't ye worry none 'bout Ole Unset. No. Don't ye worry."

Prism ignites the darkness with the colors of the rainbow as she notices Unset. She runs from the shadows and squeezes him tightly. "Unset, youfound..us!" She pulls him towards the newcomer. "Thisis...Kennari. Hewas..astatue..andwe..smearedblood..acrosshim..tofree..him. Say, you aren't a follower of Dahak are you?"

”Er, and… you.” Unset, nods with uncertainty towards the human. From beneath the heavy cloak that cover most of Unset’s body, extends a big, meaty hand, its fingers varying in size and shape from one another.

”Folks call me, ‘Unset’, they does,” he says in greeting to Kennari. “I dern’t believe ye and I’ve beens acquainted, I dernt’.”

"Oh..." Kennari says, drawing his attention back from the fascinating carving he was examining on the wall and shaking the newcomer's hand. "No, I suppose I would remember if I had met you. My name is Kennai Gleyminn. I've only just met any of your friends, as well. They were kind enough to rescue me from a rather horrid fate, truth be told. I'm hoping they...well, I suppose that should be the collective 'you', since you seem to be with them, would join me in continuing to explore this fascinating place."

With two new members added to the party, you all walk in to the strange underground temple.

This palatial chamber’s domed ceiling rises twenty feet above the stone floor. Stained‑glass windows portray a radiant human figure raising two islands from a tumultuous sea. Though the artwork is breathtaking, jagged cracks disrupt the images, and shards of colorful glass litter the floor. Heavy ebony doors stand in the east and west walls. The atrium’s alabaster walls are marred with crude paintings of humanoid figures, demons, and profane symbols drawn in blood. An unpleasant, coppery odor lingers in the air.

Two xulgaths greet you in this room, blades drawn.

Seeing more Xulgaths causes prism's nose to curl. "Ugh, I thought we had seen the last of these in the tower." She whirls her sickle around her wrist and rushes around the room to slice at the creature's legs.

+1 Striking Sickle: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28
Damage: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2) + 1 = 5
Sneak Attack Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2

This week is kicking my ass. Sorry for the delay

Niksi stays right where she is for the moment, beginning the complex rhythms necessary to start and continue two different melodies at once.

Dedicated performance of Inspire Defense, Inspire Courage, then draw her elven curve blade

All y’all have +1 status bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, and AC, and you have 2 resist vs physical damage

Prism ducks in and slices at the knees of one of the xulgaths, taking advantage of its surprise. Crit!

Niksi inspires everyone's offense and defense!

The other xulgath runs around to flank Prism, not realizing that she can't be flanked!

jaws: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

"Thisis...Kennari. Hewas..astatue..andwe..smearedblood..acrosshim..tofree..him. Say, you aren't a follower of Dahak are you?"

"Whut zer?" Unset looks at the gnome, trying to process the quickly incoming words and assign some form of meaning to them. Eventually, he replies, "Does I follow Dahak? Why, no!"

"Ole Unset here relies upon himself, mostly. He does." He ponders for a moment, then adds, "An' you all, of course."

He follows the others further into the earth. Seeing the xulgaths over take the gnome, Unset cries out, "Oh no, you dern't!" ​

The fleshforged man rushes towards one of the xulgaths crowding around Corkas and tries to push it away from the beseiged gnome.
Stride, Shove
Athletics v xulgath Fort DC: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

Let's Hero Point that!
Athletics v xulgath Fort DC: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

If that was a success, then Unset has a point of pinache and moves xulgath back 5 ft. due east. If a crit success, then the xulgath is pushed back 10 ft. due east. As long as it is a success, then Unset will follow, keeping himself between his xulgath target and Corkas.

"Ugh, foul creatures! Who knows what damage they've wrought in this holy place!"

Kennari mutters an incantation, accompanying it with a slight gesture before extending his arm forward as if trying to grasp something far off. Arcs of electricity jolt from his fingertips toward the xulgaths on either side of Prism. Casting Reach electric arc.

Electric damage, DC 22: 3d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4, 1) + 4 = 11 Spell Penetration reduces any bonus they may have vs. magic by 1.

Unset firmly shoves the xulgath away from Prism.

Crit success on the reroll!

Kennari zaps them both with electricity.

Reflex 1: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
Reflex 2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

They are surprisingly dexterous!

2 runs around to get a flank on Unset!

jaws: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

dagger: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 10 - 4 = 25
ouch!: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 plus sneak attack: 1d6 ⇒ 5

The dagger strike nicks Unset!

Suddenly, a demon moves in from the hallway!

"If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself."

Unfortunately, he is high enough level that Prism is flat-footed.

He strikes at Prism with his longspear.

longspear vs Prism flat-footed, grievous wound: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29
ouch!: 1d6 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 8 + (4) = 15 plus 1d6 ⇒ 3 evil plus sneak attack: 1d6 ⇒ 4 plus frightened 2

Prism recoils in pain as she runs away from the demon. She tries to keep the Xulgath's between her and the demon. "Another demon! This time with these walking trash heaps?" She slices her sickle at the Xulgath's to bring them down. Start with #1

Xulgath's are both Flat-footed due to Gang-up Feat.

+1 Striking Sickle Frightened: 1d20 + 15 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 15 - 2 = 14
Damage: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3) + 1 = 6
Sneak Attack Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9

Damage: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2) + 1 = 7
Sneak Attack Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9

"It must mean Groetus is getting closer!" Rova says. "Watch out for undead next!"

She sizes up the nearest xulgath and pulls back her bow, firing an arrow, then calls for Thkrull to go help. "Get them, Thkrull!"

Action XX: Hunt Prey
Action XX: Strike
Action XX: Command an Animal

+1 Shortbow (deadly d10, magical, 60 foot range, reload 0): 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 14 + 1 + 1 = 27
Hunter's edge (precision/piercing damage): 2d6 + 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1, 5) + (6) + 1 = 13
Deadly?: 1d10 ⇒ 3

Thkrull trumpets loudly to let the warriors know that their superior creature is coming to stomp them in case they want to retreat while they still can, moving in the room but giving the stinky things a moment to flee if they're smart enough.

Fort (expert): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

Two actions to Stride

Niksi moves in and continues her performances, readying to enter the melee herself.

Stride, inspire defense, inspire courage

Prism's second attack takes out Xulgath 1!

Rova takes aim and lets loose a perfect shot at Xulath 2. Thkrull and Niksi enter the temple, ready to fight.

The remaining xulgath looks around nervously. The demon growls, "Go after the ranged fighters. I've got these ones."

The xulgath runs over and attacks Rova!

jaws: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
ouch!: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

dagger: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 10 - 4 = 7

"Oh, how awful! That smell." Kennari barely contains his nausea as the xulgath approaches. "Oh, but that creature within looks even worse. Unset, was it? You'd better move quickly!" With a quick gesture and a muttered incantation, a wave of magic washes over Unset as he feels himself speeding up! Three actions to cast Reach haste on Unset.

Inspired Fort (expert): 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 1 = 19

Rova makes a face as the xulgath gets close.

"You smell worse than a Pharasmin!"

The demon growls, "Go after the ranged fighters. I've got these ones."

"'N I've got you, 'ere, Ugly!"

Unset rushes forward, towards the demon, flailing his appendages.

Stride
Melee +1 striking fist (magical, nonlethal, agile, finesse): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34
Damage (B): 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 2) + 4 = 10
Melee +1 striking tail (back swing, magical): 1d20 + 14 - 5 ⇒ (6) + 14 - 5 = 15
Damage (B): 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 1) + 4 = 9

Just posting from phone when I can this week. Service is spotty. Would someone please move my token?

I'll take a couple of liberties with Unset's turn, since you have spotty service!

Unset moves in and punches the demon square in the jaw!

Unset Reflex save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

Unset then finds himself splattered with acidic blood that bursts from the demon!

You can hero point that if you want!

He then darts back to his original position using his hasted action from Kennari.

The demon grins at Unset and moves forward.

longspear vs Unset, grievous wound: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35
ouch!: 1d6 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 8 + (2) = 14 plus 1d6 ⇒ 2 evil plus sickened 2

Ouch! Crit with a grievous wound! Also, Prism, I mistyped last time, that was sickened rather than frightened and it goes away after one round.

Accounted for Niksi's inspire courage and defense

"Get away from me!" Rova tells the xulgath, holding her bow in one hand and using her free hand to pull out her fork and stab it toward the reptilian attacker.

"Thkrull!" she calls as her blades dig into the creatyre.

+1 Filcher's Fork (Agile, backstabber, deadly d6, finesse, thrown 20 ft.): 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 14 + 1 = 19
Hunter's edge (precision/piercing damage): 1d4 + 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + (3) + 1 + 1 = 7

Filcher's Fork (iterative): 1d20 + 14 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 14 - 4 + 1 = 12 Going to Hero Point that!
Filcher's Fork (iterative): 1d20 + 14 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 14 - 4 + 1 = 31
Hunter's edge (precision/piercing damage): 1d4 + 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + (7) + 1 + 1 = 12 If the first Strike hit, subtract 7, since I don't get precision twice
Crit specialization: The weapon pierces the target, weakening its attacks. The target is clumsy 1 until the start of your next turn.

Action 1: Strike
Action 2: Strike
Action 3: Command an Animal

Thkrull rumbles toward his foe, ready to crush it into oblivion! If the xulgath was still standing, Thkrull goes after that one; if not, he goes after the demon

Foot: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Hunter's Edge (bludgeoning/precision damage: 2d8 + 4 + 1d8 ⇒ (3, 6) + 4 + (7) = 20 -7 if that's vs. the demon

Seeing Unset get grievously injured Prism leaps back and the full color of her skin and hair wash out onto the world and over the demon.

DC 22 Will Save vs Color Spray.

Using both HP in my first two rounds of combat doesn't bode well for Unset, but yes. I will use it.

Reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Boding just got worse.

I'm coming to help next round, Unset, dicebot willing.

Rova hits the xulgath twice, with the second hit crushing it!

Prism casts color spray.

Will: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 1 = 24

Success > Critical Success from incapacitate

With Niksi's inspiration, Thkrull stomps on the demon!

Thkrull Reflex save: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 13 + 1 = 33

Thkrull avoids the worst of the spray of blood, taking 5 damage.

I realize that wasn't the order of posting, but I missed that Tkrull should have hit on my first pass, and I wanted to keep the order of rolls.

With the stench of the dead xulgath still filling his nostrils, Kennari moves further into the chamber. His eyes begin to wander at the wonders within, but he forces himself to concentrate--and to ignore the rumbling of his stomach--to weave a spell in the hopes of disabling the fiend.

Stride, cast hideous laughter. DC 21 (after penalty for Sickened 1) Will save, and reduce any status bonus to saves vs. magic by 1 due to Spell Penetration.

Will save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31

We can go with the sickened condition ending with the death of the xulgath, which makes that a success, given that you took away my +1 bonus vs magic!

Quick.post

Unset approaches the demon, undaunted and tries to land a blow..

Niksi pauses as she considers the best response. With Unset so injured, she really will need to heal him.

She drops her inspire courage performance so that she has time to stitch some of Unset’s wounds back together before returning to her inspire defense for the time being.

Soothe: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Two actions for soothe, one for inspire defense

As Niksi heals up Unset's wounds, the demon calls out in agony!

"Noooooo, my beautiful grievous wound! Nooooooo!"

Mental damage, to itself: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 3, 5) = 17

I'm so pleased you triggered its most hilarious ability!

The demon realizes how outnumbered it is, and suddenly it appears outside the room, threatening Rova!

(If Unset or Thkrull has an AoO, casting a spell provoked.)

The demon stabs Rova.

longspear vs Prism flat-footed, grievous wound: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25
ouch!: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 plus 1d6 ⇒ 4 evil

Yup, that would definitely hit Prism. Her AC with Defense is 25 so FF and Frightened 2 takes her down to 21, Though looking at the Map I am assuming you mean Rova rather than Prism?

Prism receives another deadly wound and her body quickly reacts to the damage and begins to heal itself.

◆ Stride
◆◆ Reflection of Life for Fast Healing 3

I think that was actually against Rova, per the text and positioning on the map(despite the dice line saying vs. Prism. It does hit Rova.

"Ow!" Rova cries out as the demon stabs her.

Sizing up her foe, she moves around it, stabbing at its back. She cries out as the acid sprays her -- nearly catching her weapon too, and Thkrull spins around in alarm as he realizes the evil thing has decided to go after his small thing. He starts charging back to the fray!

Action 1: Hunt Prey
Action 2: Stride (probably provokes if it has an AoO)
Action 3: Strike

+1 Filcher's Fork (Agile, backstabber, deadly d6, finesse, thrown 20 ft.): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Reflex (expert), inspired: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 1 = 23

Thkrull moves as his "free" action.

If that Reflex was vs. it's splashy reaction thing, save that hero point. It's currently slightly distracted by the only-slightly funny joke Kennari told for hideous laughter, which prevents reactions.

Seeing Rova bravely move in, Kennari weaves a spell to summon a large gem that floats erratically around the halfling to protect her. Three actions to cast Reach shattering gem (2nd level).

Thanks! Assuming that was a reaction, I would save my Hero Point, but just want to make sure...

I did mean Rova! Sorry, I copy-pasted an earlier attack. Does that change Prism's turn? And yes, the acid spray is a reaction.

Rova studies the demon and strikes it! It starts to seep out blood.

Kennari casts a protective spell on Rova.
