[Gameday IX] 4-12 The Refuge of Time

Game Master garmon

kn religion : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

perception : 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

“Hey look! The whip and quill are different. Let’s detect magic!!“

spellcraft quill: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
spellcraft whip : 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

Orst looks at the statue and tries to remember something in the back of this mind about it.
know(religion): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
But the exclamation of Enora breaks his attempt and it is gone.

"Well, let us see if we can get the door open."
Any ideas? A dc 30 is well out of Orst's reach.

"Interesting. A Naga of some sort? What do you sense on those items it holds?"

He checks the door with Orst, "Yes, I don't know if it is in our ability to force it. Let's see if there is another way."
Jaxun will take a good look, checking to see if there are any traps or hidden mechanisms on this door.
perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30
+4 to that roll if there is a trap

Knowledge, religion: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 9 + (3) = 22

”That my friends is Lissala. Or at least one depiction of her.”

to open east door you need a DC30 Str check

See spoilers for items.

“Forget about the rubble. Let’s continue!“

"Heh. Anyone want to try to disarm an enemy with that whip? Not of much use overall for me.. As for this door, looks like it's force or nothing and we don't have the force. Let's move on.."

He carefully moves towards the next area.

Orst shakes his head and moves to follow Jaxun.
Whips are not a weapon.

Selune has the demolish trick. It can be used to command her to try to force the door open. A bull's strength spell would put her at a +7 bonus. That's not enough, yet, but it gets us closer if we have other boosts or aid checks.

Fuzzfoot takes the whip and quill. Never know...

Then he tries to help with the door. It is almost comical to watch the little man try.

Str aid gives +4: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (6) + 0 = 6

Jaxun shrugs and goes to try to help with the door.

str aid: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Altavan joined the others as they tried to open the door.
Str aid: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Orst will put all he can into openning the door.
strength check to open the door: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

“I think we need to move on. This does not lead to anywhere!!“ Enora says.

"Yes, we are on a mission here..."

"Lead on then, we have cultists to stop."
I think we are in need of a direction. Just pick one and we will follow.

Looks like our only real choice is on to room 3

Fuzzfoot leads the way.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Orst peeks into the the adjoining room. He watches as Fuzzfoot silently moves towards the room. He also readies to move in to support him if any danger emerges.
perception: 1d20 ⇒ 8
orst will move in after those wanting to sneak get in and look around. He will listen for trouble and/or just move in after 12 seconds or so if nothing seems to be going on.

Sorry, the above post should have been Lorian.

Lorian joined the others as they made their way to the room. As he approached the statue, he looked closer at it to see if the symbol in the forehead matched the door.

looking to see if it can be moved.

Jaxun will peer into the next room, even though they've been making enough noise to warn anyone of their coming...

perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

Anyone touch statue??

Someone took the items so I imagine so...

When Fuzz begins to touch the statue to take whip and quill one rune begins to brigth and suddenly a discharges a ray on Fuzzbut all group see that not harm him.

if you wanna enter room 3 plz moves tokens

Orst moves forward into the adjacent room with the statue. He follows Jaxun looking for any danger. "Cultist could be hiding in here, I guess."

"Whew! That was exhilarating!"

Fuzz moves with Orst, looking a little overly brave.

We wait for others to start next scene

Enora walks over with the others.

Mun joins the others. "Sorry, this temple has me all off-kilter; I'll try to keep up."

My apologies, I still haven't applied the level-up to the profile here and it's made me slower to post, out of hesitance to use a stat that's needs to be updated. I'll make that my priority tonight and get back in the game.

This bas-reliefs on this chamber's walls depict Lissalan liturgical practices. Acolytes bowing to statues and altars, clergy branding themselves with the Sihedron rune, and flagellations are a common theme.
One Spectral image emerges from shadow and attack Orst
incorporeal touch: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
str damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Round 1
Jaxun
Mob
Mun
Lorian
Orst
Enora
Fuzz

Is only Jaxun up then the Mob? (monster?). Or is mob something on our side? Can Orst do a knowledge religion to find out what this thing is?
"Woe! I feel dizzy and weak. That touch really did a number on me."

knowledge religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Jaxun lays into the spectral thing with a full attack…
axe, first attack dual: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 

S damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 

E damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

axe, second attack dual: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 

S damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
E damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Shield bash, Offhand dual first attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

B damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Shield bash, Offhand dual secondattack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20 

B damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

All magical, assuming no sneak attack..

Enora casts HASTE on the party!!

Orst will shift back 5' and pull out oil from his haver sack. He will apply it to his bastard sword.
"I really need to get my weapon enchanted."
oil of magic weapon now applied as a standard. Move action to retriece from is sack. 5' step east to not provoke. Movement help would be appreciated. I am on my phone. Else I will get it later today.

Lorian looked towards the shadow(s?). "Do you really want to harm me?" he said, as he started to perform.

Fascinate DC 14 Will save

In case Jaxun gets the benefit of the Haste spell for his actions:

All his above attack rolls will be 1 better.

His extra attack for the hasted full attack action:
magic cold iron axe: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 13 + 1 = 29
S damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
E damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

With a spectral foe, Mun uncharacteristically keeps Selune back. Instead, he enchants his ammunition to be more effective against the incorporeal entity.

Knowledge: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 assuming religion +6, but arcana, local, and planes all get the same bonus; +3 if dungeoneering or nature instead

Selune steps in front of Mun, willing to guard him against any foe.

Mob attack on surprise round because nothing can detect him, and attack you because hate your lawful/good aura, you only know that mob is a greater shadow for more info you need DC23.
Jaxun incorporeal can suffer sneak or precision damage, your shield is magical??

The shadow gets the hits of Jaxun but not get all damage,the shadow turns towards Jaxun and attack him but fails, Mun enchant amunition and pet dont make damage because natural attack is not magic, Lorian tries to use Fascinate spell on shadow but fails.
Orst take combat step and enchant weapon, Enora cast Haste.

Round 1: Plz respect initiative order
Jaxun
Mob -13
Mun
Lorian
Orst
Enora
Fuzz

Yes, shield is magic for defense and also paid for magic boss/spike for shield bashes.

OK, been a while since i've played 1e rogiues so... here's a lot more damage from sneak attacks:

number 1: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 4, 5, 3) = 23
number 2: 5d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 6, 2) = 16
number 3: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 2, 2, 6) = 18
number 4: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 2, 6, 5) = 22

Knowledge, religion or planes: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 9 + (6) = 18

Well, that didn't do it.

Stepping back, Fuzzfoot quaffs an elixir of Alchemical allocation, then gulps in a potion of invisibility, and spits the bulk of it back into the vial.

Ok Jaxun plz update your character sheet, incorporeal cant get crtical or sneak damage

Round 2: Plz respect initiative order
Jaxun
Mob -21
Mun
Lorian
Orst
Enora
Fuzz

Seeing everyone step away Jaxun just shrugs, "Well, someone's gotta be here..."
As he unleashes another full attack...

axe, first attack dual,primary: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
S damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
E damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

axe, second attack dual: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
S damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
E damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Shield bash, Offhand dual first attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
B damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Shield bash, Offhand dual second attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
B damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

No sneak/precision damage this time. Anyone wanna flank? :)

oh, ouch. However, that one axe attack is a possible crit...
crit confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
S damage: 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (7, 5) + 12 = 24
E damage: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9
Darn. That would have been nice... Oh wait! I haz reroll!!!! Let's try that confirm attack again.

crit confirm reroll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Meh. Worth the try..

Incorporeal cannot be sneak attacked and cannot be critted so you should save that reroll.

the first attack fails but others hit the shadow, as Enora said save the reroll

The Shadow attacks again Jaxxun but fails

An invisible Fuzzfoot moves around behind the creature, and drinks his mutagen.

+4 alchemical bonus to Dex, -2 Wis for 10 minutes, +2 natural armor bonus, 40 minutes

Enora moves forward and casts protection from evil on Lorian.
@Lorian, I hope that works for you.

Thanks. Playing PFS1, PFS2, SFS and keeping track of what can and cannot be critted and take precision damage is a mess. :)

No problem at all Enora. Most annoying thing is that I have encountered Shadows in three of the games I am playing which is more than my my retired Cleric of Sarenrae (Sun/Glory) ever encountered.

For when it is my turn.
Seeing that trying to fascinate the creature did not work, Lorian started to inspire the group with tales of bravery.

Inspire courage: +1 Hit/weapon damage, Save vs fear/charm
