It Came from Hollow Mountain

Game Master DEREK LANE 127

Hatfield casts Protection from Evil

"Steel now your resolve,
Evil shall not cloud your eyes,
Imma fall soon; HELP!"

(On the map it looks like Ayita is 10 feet away. What kind of action would it be to reach her? Another jump? I have enough movement to move back and make a running leap.)

He pleads "Sarenrae, take the wheel!" as he tries to leap to Ayita and touch her with the spell.

(Vigorous motion requires a concentration check of 10 + spell level)
concentration: 1d20 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 6 = 23

acrobatics to jump to Ayita: 1d20 ⇒ 11

touch Ayita with spell: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

(Not sure where you'd like me on the map. So I haven't moved myself.)

Ezranadir moves back and attempts to take a running jump through the door.
Acrobatics for Jump: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

(On the map it looks like Ayita is 10 feet away. What kind of action would it be to reach her? Another jump? I have enough movement to move back and make a running leap.)

The map is deceiving. Ayita is 30ft+ down the pit floating straight down to the water, 200ft below. Doc is unable to reach her. Different action?

Ezranadir moves back and attempts to take a running jump through the door.

[dice=Acrobatics for Jump]1d20+3

Success!

Success!

Was going to continue action after Doc posts his revised action.

Frantino shutters, unsure why he thought it made sense to jump into the pit. He looks around for some way to start climbing up.

Climb: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 9 - 2 = 18

I'll try Unbreakable Heart since I can cast it 40' away, and I'll yell to Ayita for help up here. Something like: "Ayita, Nasir and I need your help! He's in danger"

Plus, another LL on Yahzi

Is there still a body on the southern platform? If so, does it make it harder or is the DC still 5?

Sorry, Looks like the Paizo boards ate my post from last night.

Nasir continues to press his attack against the remaining vampire on the platform with him.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 13 - 2 = 30 Crit Threat!
Scimitar Crit Confirm?: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 13 - 2 = 26
Magic Slashing Dmg: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Fire Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Magic Slashing Crit Dmg: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Fire Crit Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Shield Bash: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 13 - 2 = 25
Dmg: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Scimitar: 1d20 + 13 - 2 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 13 - 2 - 5 = 17
Magic Slashing Dmg: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Fire Dmg: 1d6 ⇒ 5

If the Shield bash hits, Free Bull Rush CM 25. If it is a success, Nasir will follow.

Ayita doesn't pay attention to Doc, unfortunately. There are still victims in the water below and Frantino needs help!

Unbreakable Heart does not apply to the Dominate.

No bodies on any platform. The drunkard fell to his death. The vampires go poof into gaseous form. Nobody left.

Frantino shutters, unsure why he thought it made sense to jump into the pit. He looks around for some way to start climbing up.

[dice=Climb]1d20 + 9 - 2

Frantino has trouble climbing the walls. They are slippery and smooth from eons of erosion.

Nasir's relentless attacks push the vampire over the edge of the platform and he falls into the pit!

The derro vampire vanishes into the darkness. Nasir looks over the edge and cannot sit him/it.

COMBAT OVER!

Ayita continues downwards to help Frantino.

Dominate duration is 5 days.

Calling down: Ayita, can ye bring Frantino back up here?

Calling down: Ayita, can ye bring Frantino back up here?

"We have to save the other victims, first!" she yells. "Come down and help!"

Nasir jumps back across to join Doc and Ezranadir. "It looks like zey are still under za spell of zose creatures. I thought zat the spell would end when we killed zem. Or is zat mist zat zey became still alive?"

Ayita, ye know I ain't athletic. Can ye come up here an' git me, please?

Frantino realizes it's a looooong way back up.

"Ayita, I'm down here and need rescuing. Can you grab your flying carpet and bring it down here so I can get out, please?"

What type of Knowledge or Spellcraft check about the Vampires domination? Can it be dispelled? Why did it end on Frantino and not Ayita?

Ayita tries to think. She feels strange.

Frantino, we have to keep looking for the victims! Stay there! Doc, I'll come help you onto the carpet since it's tricky, and we can come back down and keep looking.

lemme know if inconsistent with the "dominate".

Your knowledge of spellcraft and arcana offers a simple explanation: such control frequently ends upon the death of the caster.

Nasir jumps back across to join Doc and Ezranadir. "It looks like zey are still under za spell of zose creatures. I thought zat the spell would end when we killed zem. Or is zat mist zat zey became still alive?"

The last vampire derro disappeared into the darkness of the pit.

Ayita thinks this is a splendid idea, but her body continues to descend to "help the victims."

Your action is counter to the specific command the vampire gave you, telepathically, when he initially dominated you.

kn.religion: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

To Nasir and Ezranadir: "Is one of them undead still around? Vampires can turn into a mist form at will. When they are destroyed, their body involuntarily turns to mist and returns to their resting place."

Knowledge: Religion: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

"Right, so that means that one is still hiding here somewhere while the rest are back in their coffins recuperating to return and attack us. Not good! I am about out of useful spells."

"If I can git ta Ayita, I can try ta cast Protection from Evil on her--ta git her ta act right fer a moment. But I don't know how ta git ta her."

"Is there anything we can do ta help Frantino git up here?"

"If Nasir can get to the carpet, maybe he can take it down to them. I can also cast Fly on you so that you can make it down to her but would like to keep that as a last resort. I also have a scroll of Dispel Magic if your Protection does not work. Remember that there is still a Vampire about. Perhaps Nasir should try to find it and destroy it first."

@GM Derek, Is the Darkness gone or still up?

@GM Derek, Is the Darkness gone or still up?

The darkness remains, but it is less than before, somehow.

The other vampires' darknesses are gone, of course. But at least one still remains. And it is in the pit/room.
