Miteke's Legacy of Fire

Game Master miteke

Sounds good to me.

Am I right in that you visit each of the branches, repeating the process of exploration by violence when plugged?

Sure

Finishing knocking down the stone door, Gnasher peers into he room. "Another apartment." He nods back way they came, intent on repeating the process of exploration by violence. "Tribe move on?"

Youi find the pattern repeated on all branches. What is odd is that you encounter nobody occupying any of the rooms, unless you count the two who engaged you. Where to next?

"Maybe there is another level. We should go and check the central room for any sign there is a "door" down." Malgrim will return to the central room and search around for a place that looks like a door down similar to how they got into this place to begin with.

I start in the center and begin spiraling around taking 10 for a 32 to find any entrances or trap doors.

You see signs of a stone shape at the bottom.

Keeping his bardiche at the ready as Malgrim searches, Gnasher follows his friend ahs he searches. Realizing the Hobgoblin and paused near the bottom and possibly found something he asks. "If entrance is stone sealed would they have heard the noise?" Pausing he adds, "Use wand for new door or break open?"

Seif-al-Din nods.

"We can certainly do that."

Once everyone is ready, he activates the wand.

Malgrim nods and says, "Do we need to plan on walking on air again?"

I am not sure if we still have Air Walk or how much duration is left based on searching around and breaking walls.

12 doors, 16 rooms.
Yes, all that door bashing and searching means that the spell has worn off.

Seeing Seif-al-Din ready the wand, Gnasher readies his bardiche. Turning as Malgrim asks about air walk, he nods, twisting his mouth to pronounce the difficult worlds. "Air Walk, helped get tribe here. Gnasher think it good idea."

I think air walk is a good idea, but I don't remember who cast it.

Sief cast it, but I am not sure how he is looking on Spell slots.

Seif? You airwalking anyone?

Seif-al-Din nods gravely.

"I can cast Air Walk on the party again, but that will be the last time today that I can do so."

Four more castings of Air Walk will mean that I am tapped-out of spells slots above 3rd level.

Furrowing his brow, Gnasher realizes he doesn't know as much about either the location or the use of magic. If Seif-al-Din's Air Walk spell ran out, would they be able to escape this place? Would using Air Walk mean Seif-al-Din had used up his most powerful magics. Knowing his own magic would be of no help flying, Gnasher shakes his furry head, "Maybe wait? Tribe see what below, then decide what magics to use?"

Not sure if we'll need airwalk to continue, or to leave, but maybe we should keep our options open?

Really, you only need to cast air walk on Shadow and Gnasher. Seif and Malgrim usually stick to range and, if need be, could be carried.

And you could always take a peek first, though that could trigger combat. But if it does, they would have to come to you.

Having considered the options, I like the idea of taking a peak first. Any thoughts?

Malgrim is fine either way. I think its up to Seif as it's his resources we are using.

I certainly don't mind casting the spells. It just means that we will be on a timer thereafter.

I certainly don't mind casting the spells. It just means that we will be on a timer thereafter.

LEt's wait until we see what we're getting into

Shifting the position of his bardiche, Gnasher nods at the stone door. "Open Door, tribe see what we see."

The domed ceiling of this tall, cylindrical room arches to a height of sixty feet. A spiraling stone ledge winds down from the shaft opening you just created in the center of the ceiling/floor to a circular room below. The gleaming black stone walls are lit at regular intervals by crystal lamps. Shelves and niches of polished white spikestone are inset along the ramp’s progress down the chamber; and at the chamber’s bottom are a number of what appear to be cushions and blankets.

Perception: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (12) + 22 = 34

Malgrim sees what appears to be a trap and says, "They are in the Walls!" He then prepares to blast the nearest face!

They know we are here, so I am guessing I do not actually get a surprise round. But as soon as I can, I blast a face.

perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

Not seeing anything himself, Gnasher trusts Malgrim's sharp eyes. Asking softly "Tribe wait for them to come up here?" As he asks, he shifts his bardiche to one paw and reaches into his pouch with the other. Drawing out his wand of mirror images, he taps himself with it, growling magical words.

If we are in a surprise round, he will just cast it from memory and save the wand, just let me know

❖❖❖ Round 2 ❖❖❖

Seif-al-Din attempts to blind as many of them as possible.

Burst of Radiance. DC 19 Reflex, or be Blinded for 1d4 ⇒ 4 Rounds (Dazzled for the same duration on a success).

If they are Evil, they *also* take 5d4 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 2, 1) = 7 damage, no save.

Seif sends a brilliant blast of light down on one of the hiding shaitan's face. It burns but he slips back into the stone before it does too much damage.

Does Shadow do anything? Does Urah cast fly?

Urahbot casts fly on Gnasher and then moves 20 ft back from the hole.

That leaves Shadow. I'm going to assume she waits there. Which means it is time for the shaitan's to act.

With the trap imperfectly sprung, The shaitan's lean out of their hiding places and blast the party with a whole slew of glitterdust spells and then cast protective spells on themselves. After which they vanish as they disappear into the stone. Though those of you not blinded would not see that.

Sorry about the delay, Paizo was acting up.

Will save DC 14: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

As the Shaitan's cast their spells the glitter dust lands on Gnasher, blinding him. Hoping some of them don't follow up with some sort of charge he finishes his thought, reaching into his pouch he draws out the wand of mirror images and taps himself with it.

As he does so, he calls down to the Shaitan, "Obherak, tribe refuse to stay trapped in realm, tribe will leave and hunt down Jhavhul. Lahapraset tells tribe to leave tribe must convince shaitan genies to leave or slay them. Choice is Obherak's. Die or leave?"

Will save DC 14: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Malgrim cries out as he becomes a giant glitterball and backs away from the hole.

I go full defensive on my turn and rub at my eyes.

Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Close, but no cigar. I back up 10 ft.

Will save DC 14: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Will save DC 14: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

well those suck

Well said! I figured someone would be hosed with that many saves needed. But I also figured it would only last one round. You are just THAT lucky.

There are presently no enemies in sight, having taken to parts unknown. Since the room is 60' high, and the shaitan you saw, at least, was 50' down, they could be on their way!

Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20.

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16.
Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19.

So Seif fails one, and Shadow two.

Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29.

Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24.
Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16.

After a brief period of hesitation, both Seif and Shadow shake the mica from their eyes.

Any actions on the round you are blind? You can still cast a spell. Air Walk on Shadow was suggested.

Anyone have any actions for Urah? If not I am going to have him cast fly on himself and have him back away into the air.

I already re-Air Walked everyone? If I'm blind, I have a 50% miss chance when casting a spell on someone adjacent to me that requires a touch, and flat-out can't cast a 'ranged' spell that isn't an AoE, so I am good with waiting patiently ;-)

Urahbot delays to see if someone gets grievously injured.

If we are Air Walk'ing then he has little to do at the moment. He will delay for now.

No, Seif only said that he did not mind casting the spells, not that he did cast the spells. If it matters, by the rules if you miss on the touch, the spell remains active until you touch someone, or you cast a different spell. Basically with a touch spell you remain charged with the spell for a while if you miss. It will take an action to deliver the touch. On the round you cast a touch spell you get a touch action along with the casting, but after than it takes a standard action to deliver the spell.

*shrugs*. Then no-one is Air Walked. I still take no further action whilst blind.

Seif and Shadow are thrown into confusion by the sudden blindness while Urah slips away to safety (seeing nobody get injured). Shadow manages to shake the glitter from his eyes, just as 5 Shaitan emerge from the floor and attack.

Gnasher has two of them flanking him AND is blind which mkes him much easier to hit. And hit him they do! You have not started raging, yet, correct? If you have, I'll have to adjust things a little.

Shadow, too, has the attention of two flankers.

But he is far to wily to get hit.

Malgrim gets a smaller share of the love

to hit gnasher, earth mastery: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 1 = 19

Concentration: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26.

Concentrating, Seif-al-Din manages to cast Blessing of Fervor defensively.

With a roar of anger, Shadow rips into the shaitan to their left (next to Seif-al-Din).

Bite: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25, for 1d8 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 9 + (4) = 17 non-lethal Magical Silver damage.

Don't forget the bonuses from Blessing of Fervor!

FYI, none of the Shaitan are colour-coded on the map that I can see.

I corrected the oversight of not coloring the enemies.

Don't forget the bonuses from Blessing of Fervor!

Not right away though as it is not Seif's init yet.

Fly: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 2 - 4 = 12 So no 'hover' for flying, thus no 5 ft step, looks like he's giving up two AoOs

Blinded, Gnasher realizes, from the attacks, the Shaitan must have surfaced and attacked. Using Urah's spell to his advantage he flies up and back as he begins to rage. As he enlarges his paws grow into overly large claws, his eyes glow red, his fangs enlarge and he begins to froth at the mouth. While his brown hide takes on a red-orange cast to it, giving a peculiar laugh. Stopping around twenty feet off the ground he swings his bardiche down and towards Black the left, where he felt the attack come from.

1 mirror image, Blessing of Fervor:( + 2 bonus) Blinded, (- 4 + stuff) enlarged rage 1/22 - 30 HP (fast healing 3) AC16/T6/FF14, Due to enlarged rage, reckless abandon, blinded and Bof 20 ft move @ 45 degree angle, Attack bardiche PA/RA, CS

Will save DC 14: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Gnasher takes a couple of shots as he rises into the air, though only one hits. The other misses badly.

Gnasher rages and regains a couple of HP (lost 14 gained 3 back for a total of 11 lost this init)

Oberak appears 1d8 ⇒ 4 southeast of the action and turns the stone beneath Shadow, Seif, and Malgrim to mud and the entire floor collapses.

Reflex: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27

Gnasher manages to land a blow in spite of his blindness, which kind of freaks the Shaitan out. You are a nimble bunch ad manage to evade the disappearing floor. The mud falls down to the bottom of the chamber below leaving a big hole.

Malgrim gathers the mud into a whip and lashes out at the nearest creature!

Gather Power, and then do a Composite Blast Kinetic Whip. No burn gained.

Cast Defensively: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24

If AC 21 hits I do a whopping 119 magical bludgeoning damage to White. If 21 does not hit I only do 54 Magical Bludgeoning Damage to him.

Does a kinetic blast draw an AoO? I think as a ranged attack it would but want to make sure.
