GM Foxy's 2nd Legacy of Fire

Game Master Foxy Quickpaw

Ohrmizd does his best to try maintain himself alive, parrying to right and left while holding Jhavhul distracted. Despite his best effort the genie's blade is massive, but the Keleshite manages to keep alive one more turn, enough to leave time to his friends deal with him at range.

With the grand enemy collapsing, Ohrmizd looks down judgemental and points to the body with his scimitar, Zenzirad, earned at the fires of a distant plane "And that is what happens when you try to invade Golarion. Serve as judgement for all evilness that might want to come"

Descending to the ground, he checks the fallen body "This was Jhavhul, isn't it? I mean... look at the blade... and the horns..."

If detect magic does not find strong magical items on the body, Ohrmizd will doubt this is the big boss.

Hazreem hovers over the fallen body of the greatest tormentor he had known...the one who had imprisoned him for decades...yet he felt nothing. No rage...no joy, nothing.

"I believe this is...was Jhavul Ohrmizd. I have seen him...in my dreams untold times." Hazreem responds softly, "Make sure he does not return to life. I will see what how far along he has progressed with his ritual." He then moves to investigate the colossal skeleton further...

GM Foxy, is the thrumming heartbeat still happening?

"That was ... anticlimactic." comments Omari and he continues, "But the Horned Lord guided my arrows..."

Ok, so are we calling it here, gonna explore the rest of the complex, or what?

Heshan hurries himself towards the giant genie... only to arrive at nothing more than a corpse of one. Yet that seemed to be perfectly fine by him as he smirked. "I will happily take things that are easy for us any day of the week," he grinned.

"Those are good points. But how do we make sure he is dead for sure and does not return?" Ohrmizd eyes the lava pool "Throw him into the molten lava? But still we have no idea why he was doing all this, and whether his minions can complete his work or not"

"I am not sure about making him stay dead. It would certainly make it more difficult if the body was destroyed, but I cannot say that that's a guarantee with genie wish magic potentially available. Hazreem or I could summon animals to consume the body, for a start..."

"I am not sure about making him stay dead. It would certainly make it more difficult if the body was destroyed, but I cannot say that that's a guarantee with genie wish magic potentially available. Hazreem or I could summon animals to consume the body, for a start..."

I guess we are continuing for a bit?

A quick check on the body of Jhavhul shows that he isn't dead yet but only unconscious.

"Perhaps transporting his unconscious form out of this place is the wisest course of action," Seriyle suggests, "I could plane shift us to my home, I am sure Jhavul would LOVE it there!"

@Foxy, there were a couple of really important Q's that you skipped. 1) Any magic items on him? Because, Ohrmizd's right; if he's not carrying a bunch of magic, we may have fought a fake Javhul.
2) Is the thrumming heartbeat thing still happening?
Also, as a follow up: What kind of knowledge/spellcraft checks would we need to figure out what that heartbeat thing is (or was)?

"All right, everyone gather to me, away from Javhul. I will call on Erastil's healing for our wounds..."

Omari swings astride Khedron again, takes himself 50' from Javhul, and waits for the other to gather around. Then he channels to heal them all...

Healing: 8d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 5, 3, 6, 3, 2, 1) = 28

Who has damage left over after that? How much?

"Uf, thanks for that Omari" Ohrmizd relaxes as most of his wounds heal up "Defeating Jhavhul was a great deal, but we are not done here, remember we rescued the Princess but she told us to be with other prisoners in some kind of magical prison inside these lava caves"

"Garavel must be one of the prisoners for we did not find him in Kelmenare. The man is a grouchy scrooge that has not paid us in months..." the Kheleshite elaborates drawing a coin in the air with his blade "...but somehow I do appreciate the old oak, we might as well look to save him"

He does help indeed identify the items and try to find out if the pulses have ceased and what type of ritual was the efreeti conducting.

Almost everything here is magical. The lava, the skeleton, most of the gear on Jhavhul.

The ritual was to awaken the skeleton to life again. But not as an undead, but for Jhavhul to become what the skeleton was during it's lifetime. And even in it's skeleton form it isn't completely dead as the heartbeat of the glowing crxstallized heart echoing through the cave gives witness. The means to Jhavhuls goal was blatant abuse of wishcraft.

Hazreem doesn't need any of the gear found on Jhavul.

Hazreem eyes the beating skeletal heart uneasily. "Until we can figure out how to defuse this ritual then I suggest we move on from here."

...

Hazreem eyes the beating skeletal heart uneasily. "Until we can figure out how to defuse this ritual then I suggest we move on from here."

"Javhul is only unconscious right now, and we need to decide what to do with him... I say we execute him. Then I will ask Erastil's blessing to ensure his soul goes to Pharasma's judgement (spend 15 minutes preparing Rest Eternal, and then use it). Then Hazreem can summon animals to consume the corpse... It may not be perfect, but it's the best I can think of..."

Hazreem doesn't need any of the gear found on Jhavul.

I don't particularly want any of that stuff either, but I think we can store it and deal with it later, if at all...

"I would like to give him the chance to explain himself. Yet I feel redemption is past himself, and regretfully he already rejected the chance a minute ago" Ohrmizd looks down at the body full of sadness, whether for a live that he has to end, or because it brings the end of this grand goal and that will leave the Keleshite without purpose "I guess you are right, it would be to dangerous to let him live"

With a mixture of resignation and resolve, Ohrmizd grasps Zenzirad by the pommel with both his hands, and pointing it down, he heavily makes it rest on the iffrit with sure hand.
Coup de grace damage w. bane: 1d6 + 8 + 8 + 2 + 4d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 8 + 2 + (6, 2, 4, 5) + 5 + 2 = 43

CdG does crit damagem, but anyway...

The noble efreet finally lies dead.

The cave has two more exits as options to continue on the search for the missing people from Kelmarene.

Omari prays to Erastil, hoping to bind Javhul to rest peacefully forever...

Prepare and use Rest Eternal - will take 15 minutes.

"As much as I wish Javhul may see the error of his ways... I do not think he would see things that way," Heshan added, essentially endorsing Omari's judgement upon the genie.

From one of the optional exits appears another figure and opens combat. A strange flying woman.

@Foxy, if she just stepped through the door and dumped that, shouldn't that be a surprise round for her? (and with Init 22, she can cook off another spell...)

Khedron rushes forward, trying to line up a charge. Omari swears "Damnit Hazreem, you're blocking my shot...". As shooting seems likely ineffective with an air elemental in the way, he calls on holy magic, letting him fly. Then he begins picking his way along the edge of the lava river, hoping for a better shooting position...

Ref: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21
Where do you get the DC26 from?

According to the Whirlwind SA the Reflex save is calculated by DC 10 + half the monster’s HD (Hazreem has 15 HD so 7 total) + the monster’s Str modifier (3+3=6 str) so actually the Refl save should be 23.

The magic user evades the whirlwind and retaliates with her pike. Together with a number of invisible brutes that start mauling Hazreem.

Hazreem grunts in displeasure here as he discovered more of the invisible foes than he bargained for, but his stoneskin helped protect him here!

Hazreem has the capability to assume a Huge elemental here, looks like his map token wasn't adjusted. Still he can stay Large for now :)

"Damned invisible creatures!" Ohrmizd swears, and noticing Hazreem is on trouble, commands the carpet to fly towards him at full speed.

He uses his second judgement ability to swap the purity effect to justice and casts judgement light.

A burst of amber and blue light envelopes Hazreem and his environs, protecting the druid elemental and revealing the invisible creatures.

Active judgements: protection and justice (15 rounds)
Protection: Amber light erupts from the caster, granting allies in the burst a +2 sacred bonus to AC and CMD, and a +4 bonus to AC against critical confirmation attack rolls for 1 round per caster level.
Justice: Blue light erupts from the caster, revealing hidden and invisible creatures to all. The light outlines such creatures for 1 round per caster level, imposing a –20 penalty on Stealth checks on those creatures.

"What in the... Before he could finish his sentence, he is set upon a surge of electricity. Even with his natural resistance to electricity, he still felt the effects.

"So much for things being easy for us." With Ohrmizd revealing the location of the creatures, he takes more careful aim at the invisible creatures, starting with the woman who attacked them.

@Foxy, if Ohrmizd has revealed the invisible stalkers with his spell, please put them on the map. It makes a big difference with Omari and Khedron's actions...
