GM Pudding's 9-18 Scourge of the Farheavens (Inactive)

Game Master Tom G

Tanbu pulls out his bow, steps over 5' and shot the terrifying blob.
arrow shot: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
dmg p: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Is the yellow just the shallow bog or is it also the yellow mist that we think cause disease and is being emitted by the plagueborn? Does there appear to be anything on the trees causing the milky white film on them? A pulsing pustule or such?

Tanbu looks at the white trees.
perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

The trees don't appear to have any specific source or origin of the contagion; they're entirely covered with disgusting film. They're beyond saving, clearly rotten to the core.

Lyrio hears his colleagues, and quick moves sideways with Radagosa, keeping some distance between them and the companions. As he starts to check for ranged weapons or tools, he pronounces magic words and touches himself. He commands Radagosa to move West if it's threatened by the swarm.

Lyrio moves and casts barkskin for AC+2. Radagosa moves with him, stays on the distance he points, and readies an action to move West in case one of the swarms tries to share the square with her.

Lyrio I was about to object to such a complex command, but I remembered you have "speak with lions" up and that Radagosa has an increased intelligence, so you're good!

Tanbu sinks an arrow into the approaching plagueborn, his poorly aimed shot still able to graze the unthinking ooze, while Lyrio casts a protective spell and talks to Radagosa in their own feline language.

For their part the oozes move slowly but inexorably out of the muck toward the Pathfinders. As they approach Zailus and Gillie the fine mist that surrounds them starts to surround them. It smells faintly of rotten eggs.

Zailus and Gillie both need to make a fortitude save against disease

If that is a poison (I doubt it but worth asking) there is a +3 on that

Fort save, (Hallelujah it ain't will!): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

The Armenian Man follows Tanbu's advice, grabbing and downing a vial of antiplague. He steps back until he's ready to engage the mists.

Zailus and Gillie do their best not to breathe in the cloud of mist that surrounds the oozes, and neither one feels any ill-effects, for now at least.

As the Armenian Man prepares for the rigours of ooze-combat, so does the farthest ooze-swarm slip and slide through the disgusting swampy ground toward the pathfinders!

Everyone except the Armenian Man is up!

Quickly moving forward to join Zailus and Lyrio, Eldrin begins intoning the words of a spell in a clear voice. Raising his hands and spreading the fingers with the final word of the spell causes a fan of flames to shoot forth toward the swarm of tiny creatures.

Fire Damage (DC 15): 5d4 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 2, 3) = 12

Move into range and then spend an Arcane Reservoir point to cast Burning Hands at +2 CL. I'm guessing Eldrin will need a Fortitude save for the disease?

Fortitude (Anti-plague): 1d20 + 4 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 5 = 27

Thanks GM! If there's any behavior you feel she shouldn't have, just let me know and I'll fix accordingly.

Lyrio moves forwards and points to Radagosa to move to a certain point and adopt the same action as before. He gets within the proximity of the diseased cloud as he moves.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

When he finally stops, he tries to attack the blob with his scimitar.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 1 = 20 PA
Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10

Eldrin moves up to the swarm and unleashes a burning hot torrent of flame across it, igniting each of the tiny blobs and burning away the whole lot of them to ashes.

It seemed to do much more damage than you'd expect, as if the swarms were vulnerable to fire as well as area damage

The flames also catch the larger ooze, but it move miraculously fast and manages to avoid much of the damage. Lyrio moves up along side it though and gives it a thorough slice with his scimitar, biting deeply.

Lyrio you're adjacent to two so could you make another save please. In general anytime you are adjacent to one of these things you need to make a save

"That was amazing, ELdrin! Beautiful, simply beautiful!"

Tanbu moved a little closer and shots his bow again at the main blog.

bow shot: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 7 - 4 = 4
Ugh, no need for damage with that roll.

"Sure would like to see this thing die or dissolve or what ever they do when they 'die'." "We now know they burn very well."

After shooting he drops his bow. And pulls out a vial of some sort.

I seem to have been un-bolded but havent acted yet. I'm going to guess that was accidental. Ignore the following if I lost my turn somehow
Lets see if the blobs are less confusing than the swarms
Knowledge Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
I think thats enough to know that his sneak attack won't work on this thing

Stepping away from the blob he has NO desire to stick his hands or teeth into Gillie instead tries to replicate the success he had with the other swarm and throws a bomb
Attack blue blob: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

While he is doing this his third arm reaches back into his bag for another vial. Its contents shimmer in the light like an oil slick.
Draw Mutagen as a move action

Sorry Gillie that was my mistake. You recognise the swarms as plagueborn swarms, smaller versions of the larger ooze. Being bitten or being next to one can cause disease, and they are resistant to acid but vulnerable to fire. I also forgot one other thing:

After Eldrin destroyed the first swarm, the slick mass coating the nearest tree started to pulse and writhe in a most disconcerting manner.

Gillie steps back from the ooze that had approached him and throws another bomb at an approaching swarm. This one also strikes true, but this time the fire catches and burns away the constituent blobs much as Eldrin's flames did, destroying the blue ooze.

Almost as soon as it does however, another tree starts to pulse and writhe. Tanbu misses the ooze, but not by much. He prepares

I've marked the writhing trees on the map by inverting them

Zailus is up

Tanbu is again interested in the trees.
know dungeoneering: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
"Now what are they doing..."

"Burn the trees. They are spawning more oozes. Fire delays or even prevents it" "Even a little can do the job. Fire them up."

Knowledge Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

That information would have made Gillie target the tree instead. Can I retcon or do I just need to wait. Also, which tokens on the map are the tree/trees in question?

Yes we can retcon that Gillie as you ought to have know about the trees when you took your turn. I've updated the map to hopefully be clearer. There are 5 trees numbered 1 to 5, and currently only number one is pulsing and writhing. I inverted its colour to make it even clearer. Black on white trees = normal, white on black = creating an ooze

Gillie is about to target the blue swarm but changes his mind at the last second as he suddenly realises that the true threat is the trees and throws at that instead, just hitting and burning away some of the milky filth. Some of the splash even goes on the swarm that's next to the tree. The tree is pulsing much slower now, it looks like it might take another minute to complete the birthing process. Gillie thinks that another blast like that ought to be enough to destroy it.

Sorry for the mix up. To summarise, 2 swarms and an ooze remain, one sick tree is birthing but has been delayed by fire damage. Zailus is up

Zailus, not able to get into a good spot to use her once a day fire spell and catch more than one thing in it, takes a step closer to the ooze holding her breath as best she can and takes a swing at the creature with her falcata.

Falcata, Flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Dang, I originally had Zailus taking a level of Flamsinger bard at first level but decided to delay that multiclass until later. Kinda wish I had it now!

Zailus takes a deep breath and steps in to strike the larger ooze that has moved up to threaten her and her allies, striking it square and carving a large chunk of it off.

Holding your breath gives you a 50% chance to avoid having to make a fort save against the mist surrounding them. If you'd like to roll it yourself that's a d100 and 1-50 means you don't need to make the save

Zailus avoid save: 1d100 ⇒ 82

The ooze then strikes back at Zailus, manifesting a pseudopod to strike out at her and leave oily streaks across her armour.

I'll hold off resolving that attack in case you'd like to parry and / or riposte

The blue swarm moves over Lyrio, covering him in awful little greasy blobs that feel like diseased flesh.

Acid damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

The bites and movement of the blobs is as distracting as it is painful.

Lyrio you need to make two further fortitude saves. Technically it provokes an attack of opportunity as it moves over you but unless you have some means to damage with a melee attack we can skip it

The Armenian Man is up!

She definitely will try parrying (and reposting if she can) I would have rolled that last turn but I forget she has it.

Zailus is ready for the pseudopod and with her falcata tries to fend off the offending appendage and slash back. "Oh, Heaven and Hell you are not TOUCHING my dress with that horrid slimy thing. Just who do you think you are?!"

Parry: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18
Riposte?: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 2 = 19
Slashing damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

The ooze can't be flanked, and unfortunately it rolled a 23

Zailus attempts to knock the pseudopod out of the way, but she's not quite fast enough and it slams into her regardless

9 points of bludgeoning damage to Zailus, and another fortitude save is required. That's two from Zailus and three from Lyrio

Ugh, no flanking is a sad face.

Fort 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Fort 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Think how I feel! All these attacks and no sneak attack damage... how I long for my Agile Amulet of Mighty Fists...

Oh, I'm just waiting to get a +1 flaming falcata with flaming song, improved feint, and blistering feint. 1d4+1d6 fire damage from just a move action!

NICE! I've got 3 more natural attacks to get over time to bring my up to 7! All bar one of which will be primary and so will get my full dex bonus to damage which I can boost with reduce person and my mutagen. Should be fun!

The Armenian Man steps around the dry foliage, retrieving a flask of alchemist's fire as he goes. He tosses it at the mist surrounding Lyrio.

Note: this exposes Lyrio to 1 splash damage; PvP rules require that he approve of this action.

Since in this case Lyrio won't actually be hurt because it missed and rolled away from him, I'll continue

The Armenian Man moves and throws an alchemist's fire but it lands short, burning the blue oozes somewhat but much less than he had intended.

The yellow ooze-swarm moves inexorably toward the pathfinders, but it moves slowly and isn't currently threatening anyone.

Everybody except for the Armenian Man is up!

Looking around the battle field Eldrin spots an opportunity to cover all the remaining oozes with his magical fire. Moving next to Zailus he repeats his incantation and gestures towards the creatues.

Fire Damage (DC 15): 5d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 3, 2) = 14

Using another Arcane Reservoir point to use Potent Magic on another Burning Hands after moving. Casting diagonally southeast, which I think hits the large ooze and both swarms.

Edit: Ah, didn't see Lyrio there. I've edited to not hit them.

It's okay to get me in the fire too.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Fortitude: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Fortitude: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Lyrio signs for Radagosa to stay far where she is, keeping the same ready action, and then attacks again.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 - 1 = 17 PA
Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 = 13

The druid proceeds to try to hold his breath hoping it will help with the smoke, and moves east.

Eldrin conjures forth a gout of blue-hot flame that burns away all the oozes entirely. Lyrio can feel the heat of it as it passes mere inches from him, and he, Zailus, Eldrin and Gillie can feel something else too.

As the outer shell of the large ooze burns away it begins to bulge before finally bursting in a shower of burning fetid material.

Popping ooze acid damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5
Reflex DC 14 for half damage, and a (another) fortitude save. Lyrio I'll take one of the ones you already rolled so no need for another. Gillie if you have evasion and pass the save you won't need the fortitude

Around the same as the oozes get destroyed, three more of the trees start pulsing and writhing in a most disconcerting manner, leading you to believe that more oozes might be on the way

Lyrio you didn't need your standard action there as it was already dead, so you could redo your turn if you'd like

The Armenian Man moves closer to the diseased trees, granting himself a bit of Magdh's luck as he retrieves his last alchemist's fire.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 4 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 5 = 19

Tanbu moves forward and rares back to throw his alchemist fire. He aims at the tree 35 feet or so in front of him. Tree #2, I think.
And lets it fly.
alchemist fire throw at range: 1d20 + 7 - 6 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 6 = 20
damage fire: 1d6 ⇒ 3
miss determination direction should it be needed: 1d8 ⇒ 3
"Burn the trees. They are spawning. Hurry, torches quick."

No evasion yet
Reflex save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Fort save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Gillie moves forward as close as he dares and, hoping even a small amount of fire will do the trick, throws his bomb between two trees letting splash from the blast hit them.

1 Splash Damage DC11 to half
I don't know if a tree can make a reflex save (hopefully not).

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Zailus looks at the trees and frowns in digust. "Shelyn's Love! I'm going to have to climb into that damnable muck, am I not? Ugh, If I colaspe of something, someone heal me up please!"

She then hoists her dress up to around her upper thighs, showing she hasn't been shaving on the trip, and then slowly plods trough the muck to be in a proper position to use her innate passionate fire to burn them down. "I've got these two, someone get the other trees!"

Assuming something doesn't stop her, Zailus will use her burning hands on the two trees in front of her next round.

Lyrio reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Tanbu tree 2 is 45 feet away from you, but as tree 1 is 35. I'll assume you mean tree 1, but let me know if that's not right

Eldrin and Lyrio take the brunt of the explosion, while Zailus and Gillie are able to dodge out of the way of most of it. Tanbu throws an alchemists fire at the nearest tree and scores a direct hit, dousing it with flames which continue to burn.

You still need an attack roll Gillie in case you roll a 1 in which case it will definitely go somewhere else. The rules are a little unclear on targeting empty squares. Aiming at an intersection is AC 5 so I'll go with that. The trees do not appear to attempt reflex saves :)

Gillie bomb at empty square, range: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 2 = 24

Gillie adds more fire to the fight, throwing a bomb to target two of the trees Tree one and two and splashing them both, which causes the southern-most one to slow down its writhing to match that of the first one. Tree one has taken so much fire damage that it looks very close to "death".

Zailus hoists up her skirt and trudges into the mire. It is truly repugnant, black mud with the consistency of porridge, occasionally belching forth fetid yellow gas and slapping back together with an audible clap. It's slow going but she's able to get up to the most burnt of the trees and examine it from up close. Even through the stench of the mud the tree's odour is overwhelming, it's vile putrescence not something to be forgotten soon.

With no apparent threats remaining, the only question is if the party can burn the infected trees before they birth any more monstrosities.

Party is up!

Pushing through the pain of the burning acid, Eldrin runs towards the plagued trees.

Double move,

Attack Square: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Gillie , bolstered by his friends efforts, moves closer still and throws his last bomb.

Attack Tree 3: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Zailus makes sure her dress is as FAR out of the muck and grossness as possible before creating a V-shape with her hands. "B&@$#ing H*** what ever made this place needs some cleansing FIRE!"

From her hands gouts a burst of flames aimed at the two trees in front of her.

SLA burning hands, 15 foot cone should get two of them!
Burning hands: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6 Reflex DC 14 to save, though they're trees so...

The map got a little messed up this morning, Gillie and Eldrin you've both moved into the difficult terrain (even though you might have thought you hadn't), so I've updated your positions based on how far you could have gotten

Zailus destroys the tree adjacent to her, fully burning away its foulness. The one beyond that even gets a solid taste of fire and looks rather worse for wear. Meanwhile Gillie throws a bomb at the westernmost tree and hits it squarely, slowing its birthing process and dealing a considerable amount of damage to it, while eldrin trudges through the mud

The Armenian Man stops at the edge of the dangerous muck, and tosses his final alchemist's fire.

Tanbu moves along the edge of the mire and draws his last alchemist fire as he does this.
When he is lined up on the last pulsing tree tree 4 I hope, he winds up and throws it at the tree.

alchemist throw at range: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 7 - 4 = 11
fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
miss direction if needed: 1d8 ⇒ 7

"Burn, you want-to-be firewood! You ugly overgrown bush! Yes and your mother too!"

The Armenian man and Tanbu both throw their alchemist's fires at trees, with Tanbu having more luck despite Magdh's blessing. Tanbu strikes true and burns the tree, slowing down its writhing, while The Armenian Man's falls well short.

In the minutes that follow, the Pathfinders are able to kindle enough fire to put an end to the remaining trees before they birth any more monstrosities, and having done so it becomes clear to everyone that the source of the corruption here is no more. Even though it is still a soggy mess, the true foulness must have been contained in the trees, because now they are burned to ash the place feels so much cleaner.

Combat Over!

While technically you do need to do 10 points of fire damage to each tree to destroy them, doing even 1 point of damage slows them down for a minute, so you had another 13 rounds of actions before anything else would have happened, so I'm happy to say you'll be able to finish those those trees off, even if it's just by sparking kindling around them!

Looking around the area to confirm that the blight is truly destroyed, you come across an old rusted chest. The lock is rusted closed, but a bit of hacking will open it up to reveal some treaure:

A Battle Aspergillum

What would you like to do? It's around 4pm. You're a full days travel from the old village where Dolok is, and a further 2 or 3 days travel from Mishkar. Remember that many of you have been exposed to mists that you know cause disease, and not all diseases manifest immediately...

The Armenian Man asks Magdh for magical sight an attempts to divine what these items all do, and their worth.

We could head for the original town, get Melket and have her come with us to meet Dolok and reconcile it all. We could then get all the stories and history we need and it would be fastest for cures to disease (maybe?). If we just head towards Dolok's place, we head for our cave of last night and then see what tomorrow brings. If it is disease afoot, we head for town fast. If no disease, then we go tell Dolok we did not and hear his information. I don't know but our current location may to directly away from the original town and Dolok's village and we have to pass through the broken village anyway.

"Back to the cave then? We can determine a better course tomorrow." "Or do we rush back to town and look for a priest?"

Zailus grabs up the cape, almost before The Armenian Man gets a chance to examine the garment. "This doesn't work with my clothes, but I will NEVER give up the chance to accessorize! And just look at how the silver flows, so majestic. I knew I needed my silver bodysuit. I knew it. Why didn't I pack it? Argh!"

She then looks at her boots covered in muck and sighs. "Righto, let's get to a river and wash this crud off! Then get headed back? Unless there's something else we need to do here?"

I don't mind the gunk, no worse than the sewers I had to hide in after the doctor got taken away, but these trees make my fur stand on end.

Gillie keeps looking around, expecting more trouble at any moment. "So... are we done? Can we go home now? Why didn't they do this before? Was this that disease? Do we have the disease now?"
He looks for guidance from those he sees as leaders, which comprises the whole group to various degrees.

Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Zailus gives a small cough. I think she probably got infected there at the very, very end. Stupid exploding ooze!
