GM Eclipse's Master of The Fallen Fortress (Inactive)

Game Master Agent Eclipse

Sphynx starts descending the stairs, a wince with every step, with hopes of reaching Balenar or Olox’s wand before she passes out. The world is blinking in and out of reality and it takes all her focus to push towards some sort of healing source.

Sphynx heads down the stairs as the other two head up! Balenar reaches Olox but has expended all his spells so continues up to the top level.

Ahnsil throws another bomb into the mist hoping to hit the creature.

Bomb:: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 1 = 21
Miss Chance:: 1d100 ⇒ 97
Damage:: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Her vial smashes into an empty section of the mist as the flames spread out, you hear no cries of pain.

Olox find a staggering and hurting Sphynx as he prepares to climb the last staircase. Here! Olox places his open hand near Sphynx's side.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Catch your breath and rejoin us! This foul monster won't send me to the brink of death without retribution!

After partially healing Sphynx Olox rushes up the final staircase.

Sphynx is pulled from the darkness as the healing stitches some of the wounds closed.

Up top Liluth sees a shadow of the troglodyte appear, now with a flaming sword in his hand.

Flame Blade: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 51
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Claw: 1d20 ⇒ 6
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 34

Bite: 1d20 ⇒ 10
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 38

The magical blade pours through her armor, burning her flesh, but the other attacks bounce off.

Sphynx takes a steadying breath then sprints back up the staircase towards the battle.

Liluth shrieks in pain as, once again, the flames reach her skin. Sweat immediately beads on her skin, and her knees feel shaky. She tries to find the resolve to retaliate against the lizard...

LANCE: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
DAMAGE: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
MC: 1d100 ⇒ 25

Liluth has trouble connecting her lance through the blinding mists.

Balenar once again begins his song to bolster the groups aim.

Ahnsil takes the opportunity to attempt an attack at the creature as soon as Liluth steps back giving her room.

Bomb: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 11
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 50
Miss Direction: 1d8 ⇒ 3

The bomb fails to hit but the splash of flame still strikes the creature.

Olox think he catches a glimpse of the beast and leaps forward. He puts everything he has into a vicious horizontal swing.

greatsword: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 2 = 25
damage: 2d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 6) + 6 + 1 = 18
miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 65

With one crushing swing the fog parts revealing the bloodied corpse of Trasskar. The slice had sheared the right arm and shoulder of the troglodyte as it attempted to duck under the strike.

With the caster defeated the mist slowly settled onto the floor before disappearing completely.

Combat Over.

Balenar struts over and kicks the stray arm off the tower.

"Well, mighty fine work. Would you four happen to be interested in working for the Pathfinder Society? Whoever hired you...I am sure my bosses would be willing to beat their payment since you saved my life. I can introduce you at the Grand Lodge back in Absalom." he says holding his arms out to his sides.

Sphynx sheathes her sword and lets out a relieved sigh with her hands on her hips; cearly exhausted from the day’s struggles. ”I will definite take you up on that offer Balenar.” She turns her head and addresses the party members, ”I think you all would be smart to accept as well. Pretty sure Alveeno doesn’t actually have the funds to provide any of the rewards he promised. If what I overheard the bartender say is anything to go off of.”

"Good good! Now they can probably have you field-commisioned when theis is reported but I hear they are about to start another Confirmation mission. They even reward a free wayfinder for those." he says holding his up in a braggarts manner. He taps the elaborate compass and it begins to shine light in the area.

"It is already getting pretty dark, I am going to stick with your lot till we get to the Grand Lodge. There is even lodging and food for agents there! Some pretty women as well...and their slaps."

Olox takes his great sword and brings it down in a vertical swing, cleanly decapitating the tower's former master and carving into the stone floor. A trophy! For the Pathfinders! Hah! Olox bellowed at his new bard friend. After attaching the head to his belt Olox picked up the mutilated corpse, hurled it off the side of the tower, and roared: For Gorum!

Another few stones crumbled away and followed their former master down with a series of crashes.

Olox then turned and clasped Balenar on the shoulder. Standing close enough that blood from the head was dripping onto his boots. Let's get to that Grand Lodge of yours - I want to show my new head to the pretty women. Hah!

"Hopefully it stops...leaking...before we make it back." Balenar says forcing a smile.

Liluth holds up a hand to stop Olox throwing the corpse, and sighs when she is too late. They didn't even search it for supplies or money. "Yeah, fine. I suppose that doesn't sound like the worst deal." She says and begins descending the tower.

"Ah cheer up. You are going to love it there...and I am sure the lizard mans corpse is still down at the bottom if you wanted your turn kicking it." he says walking with her down the stairs.
