Miteke's Legacy of Fire

Game Master miteke

DR, any energy resistances/immunities.

DR 10/cold iron and good (i.e., both, so if you have a good weapon but not cold iron, the DR kicks in and vice versa)

Wow, Gnasher, nice set of rolls. Hey, if really are not feeling this battle, the door is right behind you :)

Anyone want to volunteer Urahbot for duty?

Horned Dude (-25 HP)

Malgrim Gryh (-0 HP; haste: expires after round 8)
Gnasher (-45 HP; haste: expires after round 8; DC 29 reflex save or take 49 damage; fast healing 3)

Reflex: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 1 = 19.

Shadow roars in rage and pain, then Seif-al-Din shudders as wounds appear all over his body.

Electing to take that damage, from Shield Companion as an immediate action, so Shadow does not fall unconscious.

Shadow then steps in, and attempts to tear the Div to shreds!

Gore (RM, DF, H): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (11) + 22 = 33.
for (1d8 Gore, 2d6 Holy: 1d8 + 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (6) + (2, 4) + 15 = 27 Magical Holy Silver damage.
Bite (RM, DF, H): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (17) + 22 = 39.
for (2d6 Bite, 2d6 Holy): 4d6 + 15 ⇒ (1, 5, 2, 4) + 15 = 27 Magical Holy Silver damage.
Claw (RM, DF, H): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (12) + 22 = 34.
for (1d8 Claw, 2d6 Holy, 1d6 Acid): 1d8 + 3d6 + 15 ⇒ (6) + (1, 5, 4) + 15 = 31 Magical Holy Silver damage.
Claw (RM, DF, H): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (12) + 22 = 34.
for (1d8 Claw, 2d6 Holy, 1d6 Acid): 1d8 + 3d6 + 15 ⇒ (5) + (5, 6, 6) + 15 = 37 Magical Holy Silver damage.
Haste (RM, DF, H): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (15) + 22 = 37.
for (1d8 Claw, 2d6 Holy, 1d6 Acid): 1d8 + 3d6 + 15 ⇒ (7) + (4, 5, 1) + 15 = 32 Magical Holy Silver damage.

Meanwhile, blood pouring from numerous wounds, Seif-al-Din casts Heal upon himself.

@Seif
Note that Shield Companion only transfers half the damage to you. So You take 48 and she takes 49. Heal is a bit of an overkill.

Urah casts bless on the group.

Shadow hits twice (meaning it's AC must be 36 or 37 after adding the bonus for bless) for 39 damage after the reduction.

The div targets Shadow as she was the one that did most of the damage to her.

to hit falchion, power attack: 1d20 + 27 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 27 - 2 = 27
damage, power attack: 2d6 + 15 + 6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 15 + 6 = 25

to hit falchion, power attack, MAP: 1d20 + 27 - 2 - 5 ⇒ (9) + 27 - 2 - 5 = 29
damage, power attack: 2d6 + 15 + 6 ⇒ (4, 5) + 15 + 6 = 30

to hit falchion, power attack, MAP 2: 1d20 + 27 - 2 - 10 ⇒ (6) + 27 - 2 - 10 = 21
damage, power attack: 2d6 + 15 + 6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 15 + 6 = 27

And misses all three times.

"Blast it!" it yells. "Going to have to use different tactics on the pet."

❖❖❖ Round 4 ❖❖❖

Sepid Div (-64 HP)

Ah, I was apparently getting Shield Companion confused with Shield Companion - which is an immediate action to take all damage.

Having two spells with similar effects and the same name is a terrible idea, Paizo!

I will change Seif-al-Din's spell to CCW, then: 4d8 + 12 ⇒ (1, 5, 6, 3) + 12 = 27.

Shadow keeps wailing on the Div...

Gore (RM, DF, H, B): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (8) + 23 = 31.
for (1d8 Gore, 2d6 Holy: 1d8 + 2d6 + 15 ⇒ (8) + (4, 1) + 15 = 28 Magical Holy Silver damage.
Bite (RM, DF, H, B): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (20) + 23 = 43.
for (2d6 Bite, 2d6 Holy): 4d6 + 15 ⇒ (3, 5, 1, 2) + 15 = 26 Magical Holy Silver damage.
Claw (RM, DF, H, B): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (17) + 23 = 40.
for (1d8 Claw, 2d6 Holy, 1d6 Acid): 1d8 + 3d6 + 15 ⇒ (4) + (2, 1, 1) + 15 = 23 Magical Holy Silver damage.
Claw (RM, DF, H, B): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (13) + 23 = 36.
for (1d8 Claw, 2d6 Holy, 1d6 Acid): 1d8 + 3d6 + 15 ⇒ (8) + (4, 1, 6) + 15 = 34 Magical Holy Silver damage.
Haste (RM, DF, H, B): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (10) + 23 = 33.
for (1d8 Claw, 2d6 Holy, 1d6 Acid): 1d8 + 3d6 + 15 ⇒ (1) + (5, 3, 5) + 15 = 29 Magical Holy Silver damage.

Seif-al-Din steps into the room, and channels healing energy into Shadow.

CCW: 4d8 + 12 ⇒ (3, 7, 8, 3) + 12 = 33.

Malgrim steps forward and tries to arc a blast at the creature since he is now so close to his target.

I am now in PBS range so lets try again to hit it. 5 ft step. Gather Power, Extended Range, Cold Iron Composite Blast arcing over Shadow.

Mud (Earth/Water) Blast w/Elemental Overflow , PBS , Haste, DA: 1d20 + 16 + 1 + 1 + 4 - 3 ⇒ (8) + 16 + 1 + 1 + 4 - 3 = 27

Damage, B, Mud (Earth/Water) Blast w/Elemental Overflow , PBS , DA: 12d6 + 20 + 8 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (6, 6, 1, 5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 6) + 20 + 8 + 1 + 6 = 82

Whiff.

Having regained his balance, Gnasher lifts the bardiche again and chops at the horned creature.

if the AC is 36 or 37, the third potential crit attack did not hit, so I am resisting the urge to roll it.

Shadow hits tree times, once barely (AC 36) and once...

damage: 4d6 + 15 ⇒ (2, 5, 4, 6) + 15 = 32
a crit
for
26 + 23 + 34 + 36 - 30 = 89
@Seif, how are you able to deliver the touch spells to Shadow? Share spell still requires a touch, so what am I missing?

Malgrim is everywhere, unable to hit squat.

Gnasher hits with the hasted attack and...
resist demoralize: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (12) + 28 = 40
... is not demoralized. Is seems to know all the intimidation tricks itself and is not bothered.
Gnasher does 26 damage

Sepid Div (-179 HP)

Gotta go right now, no time for a combat post, but I should get to it tonight.

Sorry - for some reason, the map did not update - in my post, I said I moved into the room, precisely so I *could* deliver the touch spell. I have hopefully fixed the map discrepancy now?

Much better. So Seif is at -48 + 27 = -21; Shadow is at -49 + 33 = -16. Correct?

Sounds about right.

Forgot to apply fast healing last round, so Gnasher is at -42 prior to the Div's attack.

The Div resorts to the stone storm and everyone takes
bludgeoning damage: 22d8 ⇒ (7, 1, 4, 2, 3, 8, 2, 7, 3, 8, 4, 5, 1, 4, 4, 1, 2, 4, 2, 7, 2, 5) = 86; DC 29 reflex save for half (or none with evasion). Remember to add the +1 from haste.
"Seemed to do well last time. Let's see you survive this time!"

You are going to need some decent saves here or this will be very painful.

Reflex(Seif-al-Din): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16.
Reflex(Shadow): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25.

Seif-al-Din straight-up explodes, but manages to keep Shadow alive.

Seif (-150 HP/dead but not exploded); bless: expires after round 10)
Shadow (-86 HP; resist fire: expires after 50 minutes; Divine Favor: expires after round 12; Righteous Might: expires after round 12; haste: expires after round 8; bless: expires after round 10).

Urah yells "No!" and rushes over, or it sounds like it. He is invisible, as you know.

Reflex: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31 I do have DR 10/Adamantine if this is Bludgeoning Damage.

Malgrim throws a spindle at the creature.

Here is hoping that he is close to dead. Gather Power and then Create a Composite Spindle. DC 20 Reflex for a Composite Spindle.

Damage, B, Mud (Earth/Water) Blast w/Elemental Overflow: 12d6 + 20 + 8 ⇒ (3, 2, 2, 2, 5, 4, 4, 2, 6, 6, 2, 6) + 20 + 8 = 72

36 or 18 if he makes the save.

DC 29 reflex save: 1d20 + 9 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 9 - 1 + 1 = 18

Reeling from the second 'Stone Storm' Gnasher, seeing Seif-al-Din fall gives a low growl and lifts the bardiche again chopping repeatedly at the horned creature.

Yikes, non of those hit! Miteke I think his HP is lower, I'll go back and double check numbers in a bit.

Malgrim proves very nimble AND resistant.

DC 20 Reflex save: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26

The div takes some damage from the mud, but not much, as it also has DR. It is going to take more damage than an orc usually deals to take this big bad fellow down.

Then there is Gnasher, who could do that kind of damage but just doesn't.

did you want to roll for the crit?

Crit Confirmation: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (9) + 22 = 31.
for 2d8 + 30 ⇒ (6, 1) + 30 = 37 *ADDITIONAL* damage.

Which is enough to down the nasty fellow.

CL check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

A scroll falls to the ground and you hear Urah mutter something arcane or divine, the writing disappears, and Sief's wounds start to heal. The breath of life spell immediately heals 5d8 + 9 ⇒ (2, 7, 8, 6, 5) + 9 = 37 damage raising Seif to life and consciousness, but he then falls unconscious.

Urah only has one of these scrolls so the next time will be more difficult to deal with. Also Seif has 1 negative level damage for a day which is why he is not conscious.

Which is enough to down the nasty fellow.

Totally missed his part of the post.

Seeing the horned fellow fall, Gnasher releases the rage, and Quickly draws out his wand of infernal healing. Nodding to Urah, he taps Seif-al-Din with the wand, turning to Shadow he tells the tiger, "Seif-al-Din be ok."

As the spell slowly begins to do its work, he taps himself, then begins to search the body of the horned fellow and the room he was in.

"Whatever that was hit like a war galley. Hopefully, there are no more like him around this place." Malgrim says.

You find a +1 falchion on the body. It is a sized for a large creature, though, and not much use to you.

Nodding in agreement with Malgrim Gnasher examines the large falchion for a moment. Untying his 'bag' from his pack he begins stuffing the blade into it, saying as he does so, "Keep weapon for Gilbin."

Having finished storing the blade he looks towards Seif-al-Din, asking, "Should tribe find place to rest?"

As he speaks, curiosity getting the better of him, he moves towards the door on the southwest wall and after inspecting it, cautiously opens it.

He'll take 10() on perception checking the door before he opens it.

"This room would probably be a good place. That guy did not seem friendly and anyone coming in here would be suicidal." Malgrim suggests.

Area D17a is a balcony overlooking the Noble District; the ground is 100 feet below. No traps, just a nice place to hang out.

Make your rolls to heal up.

As they stand at the balcony overlooking the odd city, Gnasher, planning on charging the wand after they rest, uses its last two charges on himself. Asking, "Tribe us spells to heal a little, then rest?"

What spells do we need Urah to use on who? Also, I'm good with resting here if that's best.

Current statuses (after taking into account Gnasher's temp HP):

Shadow (-86 HP; resist fire: expires after 40 minutes).
Seif (-113 HP, unconscious but stabilized; -1 level: -5 max HP and more)
Malgrim Gryh (-33 HP)
Gnasher (-49 HP)
Urah (-0 HP; ant haul; invisibility; fly)

Are you going to rest a day? That way you would all heal up fully, lose the negative level, and, best of all, NO MATH.

Realizing his wand had not effected Seif-al-Din enough to rouse the oracle, Gnasher turns to Urah asking, "Urah heal Seif-al-Din?"

Could URah cast cure serious wounds on Seif-al-Din?
CSW: 3d8 + 4 ⇒ (5, 4, 2) + 4 = 15

The two charges of the wand will give him back 20 HP, The CSW will give him back 13 leaving him at -10.

Seeing Seif-al-Din had not woken yet, Gnasher nods at Urah again.

CSW: 3d8 + 2 ⇒ (7, 1, 8) + 2 = 18

Malgrim will heal his own wounds and Seif.

I have two points in my Buffer. Use a buffer point to do a Kinetic Heal on Malgrim, and the second point to do a Heal on Seif.

Kinetic Heal on Malgrim: 6d6 + 14 + 8 ⇒ (3, 5, 1, 5, 2, 2) + 14 + 8 = 40

Kinetic Heal on Seif: 6d6 + 14 + 8 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5) + 14 + 8 = 38

Shadow (-86 HP; resist fire: expires after 40 minutes).
Seif (-57 HP; -1 level: -5 max HP and more)
Malgrim Gryh (-0 HP)
Gnasher (-49 HP)
Urah (-0 HP; ant haul)

"Seif, do we need to rest or do you have the divine power to heal the three of you so that we can move on?" Malgrim asks. He then adds, "I could also lend a hand in healing, but it will leave Burn on us until we rest."

Seif-al-Din winces, still looking a little bruised and anaemic.

"If possible, I would prefer to rest - I am out of my more powerful spells, and if we ran into any more threats like that last one... I am not at all confident that my remaining healing would be enough."

Nodding in agreement, Gnasher "Tribe rest, give fancy sword to Gilbin later."

He leaves the balcony overlooking the city and returns to the simple parlor D16 and closes the door, Closing the second door, D17 he grabs the body of the dead Div by the heel, dragging it through the room to the patio. Unceremoniously tossing the body over the rail, returning to the main room, he uprights one of the parlor chairs that had been piled against the door. Placing it against the door he takes a seat adding, "Room safe but Gnasher keep watch."

Just some fluff to celebrate posting again, anything interesting happen while we're resting, or are we good to go? Can Urah burn the rest of his spells healing us so when we awaken we're at full HP?

Resting restores all HP and wands without a problem. You have a plethora of healing spells between you. It also restoes the negative level Seif got from the breath of life.

Resting restores all HP and wands without a problem. You have a plethora of healing spells between you. It also restoes the negative level Seif got from the breath of life.

After your long rest, where do you all head off to. Urah mentions that he only had the one scroll so be careful.

Malgrim rests and then wakes and goes through adding new Burn to his buffer and regaining his shield and damage reduction. "This place is dangerous. We should be wary as we go." Malgrim says as he moves to search a new area.

Someone has been doing checks and D15 is not checked, but I think we finished that. So Malgrim will head to the double doors south of D2 and take ten to search for traps which gets him a 33.

I was adding checks to rooms, but that was when a bunch of rooms were revealed to you before you visited them. I think you visited them all at this point so I should just remove the check marks.

You do not hear anything interesting coming from the room and the doors are not trapped.

Malgrim looks at his companions and when they nod he will push open the doors.

A covered pavilion composed of twisting brass columns inset with ivory and precious stones encloses a cushioned throne at the center of this huge circular audience chamber. Less ornate chairs sit on smaller extensions of the central pavilion to each side, while giant curtains composed of fine brass links cover passageways on either flank, with a third, smaller one to the east. Fire pits shimmer with barely contained heat, and a deep pit is visible beyond the throne.

Seated upon the central throne is a translucent, clean-shaven dwarf clad in expensive robes, eyes aglow with a hellish light. As Malgrim enters it says "Bow before the “Master of the Haunted Palace.”

You may adjust the locations of your characters at this point.

'Translucent dwarf' suggests some sort of ghost to me, so...

Seif-al-Din attempts to quietly identify what manner of creature the 'dwarf' is.

Knowledge(Religion): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38.

"Bow before the “Master of the Haunted Palace.”

'Translucent dwarf' suggests some sort of ghost to me, so...

"Haunted Palace" "Translucent dwarf" could be....

Stepping into the room beside Malgrim, Gnasher growls, "Gnasher not bow."

Just some fluff :)

Edit: He would have used one of his first level spell slots to recharge his wand.

@Seif
This is a vengeful spirit known as a darnoc. Now forever denied peace, the spiteful spirit is relegated as a doorkeeper. This is a unique specimen and the DC to identify it is 27 so you get to ask three questions about it from the list pointed to by the Knowledge Skill Success Topics link.

The creature grows irate and violent at Gnasher's comment. Combat is imminent.

Seeing the ghost become irate, Malgrim prepares to blast the creature.

Special Attacks, Special Defenses, and, if it is a thing, how to permanently lay it to rest.

@Seif
You do know that it will return in 2d6 rounds if not laid to rest, but you have no idea how to do this. Each of these things has their own unique trigger. You would probably be able to discern what that was if you could talk to it, but that whole bowing thing has it all aggravated.

It has the ability to produce a symbol of discord which will cause you to bicker uselessly if a DC 25 will save is missed. The good news is that it will not activate unless you are within 60' of it.

It has channel resistance +2, incorporeal; Immune cold, undead traits; SR 25; frightful presence
