Curse of the Crimson Throne (complete) (Inactive)

Game Master Whack-a-Rogue

You both recognize the items held by the six women as representing the six suits of a Harrow deck. This is further reinforced by the contents of the case: a simple and well-worn Harrow deck. As soon as it's opened, a sudden wind blows through the room, causing the cards to fly into a vortex near the ceiling in the north corner of the room for a moment before they flutter to the floor. All of the cards land facedown except for the Midwife (representing the arrival of new life or new information), which lands up on the ceiling in strange violation of gravity.

Feeling the sudden wind blow through the room, Usawoti shudders, speaking softly, "Well, we're here, anyone going to say anything else?"

Scratching his head as the cards fly about and land, Usawoti looks towards his friend and shrugs. "I wouldn't think you'd see much stranger than all the fluttering cards landing facedown." He points up towards the 'Midwife' "Except maybe for that."

Considering the card for a moment, he shrugs, "Though a little new information would be handy about now."

Does the 'midwife' pertain to a specific suit?

The Midwife is the Neutral Good card from the Stars (Wisdom) suit.

"I'm really not sure I understand." Torsten muttered. "But I suppose we'll figure it out as it comes, aye? Let's keep moving. Do a once over of this floor to see if we can find the mage, and then we get out."

The card flutters against the ceiling as a voice whispers in your heads "...save me..."

Having started to move over towards the statue with the 'star' Usawoti hears the voice again. Looking towards the ceiling he asks Torsten, "Why do you think the 'Midwife' is fluttering against the ceiling like that?" Assuming it's some sort of clue, he furrows his brow. "What do you suppose is right above this chamber?"

As he asks his question he carefully observes the statue with the 'star' wondering if there could be a 'good' prisoner held in the room above them.

Yeah taking '10'(35/42) on perception looking at the statue.

"I don't know the answer to either. But we are going to find out. We head up, to the room above this chamber." Torsten said, agreeing to his friend's suggestion.

Studying the ceiling, Torsten notices the area where the card is fluttering is a slightly different texture. It's smoother than the rest of the ceiling, as if the stone has been magically altered (through a stone shape spell).

He was just about to turn to leave when he stopped and squinted, looking up at the ceiling. "Lad. Can ye still fly? Because look. See where the card is flying? The stone is smoother than the rest of the ceiling. The stone itself has been altered. If ye can get up there to take a look...?"

Turning from the statue Usawoti looks up to the ceiling. Shaking his head he answers, "No it's a once a day thing." He shrugs, "I've got a rope and a travelers any-tool we can use as a grapple. Why don't I blast a hole in the ceiling there and we climb up?" Not waiting for an answer he lifts his bone ring pointing it a t the card. Realizing he should give some warning he calls out, "Ok miss midwife or whoever you are, we're coming up, stay back from the shaped stone." Commanding the ring "വിനാശകരമായ സ്ഫോടനം" he fires the destructive blast at the ceiling.

destructive blast: 7d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 1, 2, 6, 6, 4, 4) + 7 = 36 +3
if need be he will continue blasting until he gets a hole big enough to climb through
destructive blast: 7d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2, 6, 4, 3, 3, 1) + 7 = 27 +5

@Usawoti: A typical stone wall (or ceiling) has hardness 8 and 540hp. Using average die rolls (and factoring in Focused/Crafted Blast), it'll take 20 rounds to break through. Just checking to make sure you're wanting to take the time. :-)

REalizing his two blasts had only scratched the ceiling, Usawoti frowns and turns to Torsten, "Maybe we should try the stairs."

Torsten nodded, impressed with the quality of the masonry. ”Aye.”

You take the stairs in the main tower up to the top floor. Once there, you pass through the main attic and make your way to a room packed with old and dusty odds and ends from a century of the keep's history. The clutter in the room includes old clothes, toys, tools, pieces of furniture, lamps, extra lumber, and broken tools. You can barely make out a door in the northeast corner of the room, almost completely hidden from view by the veritable mountain of clutter.

Unless you have another method, hand-clearing a path to the door will take approximately an hour.

Would it be possible to just smash his way through it, with his DR protecitng him from the avalanche of splinters and the like?

I don't see why that wouldn't work. You ignore quite a bit of hardness and have DR. It'll make quite a mess, of course.

”Right.” Torsten said. ”This is going to be loud…” He took a deep breath as he took a step back, giving him the space he needed to literally charge through the debris in their way.

Turning from the game room Uawoti followed Torsten up stairs, keeping a keen eye out for any enemies. Seeing the room filled with old dusty odds and ends, he furrowed his brow. Knowing what Torsten had in mind when the dwarf said 'this is going to be loud' he nods, "I'll keep an eye out for trouble." Turning his back towards the charging dwarf, he watched for any other reactions. Occasionally looking over his shoulder he waited for the dust to clear then followed his friend through the destroyed stuff.

1d100 ⇒ 52
1d6 ⇒ 1

While Torsten is occupied smashing his way through the mountain of clutter, Usawoti sees a winged devil teleport in and begin flying toward the two of you.
Erinyes Initiative: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Usawoti Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
It's currently 30ft away. If he wants, Torsten can join the combat at the beginning of the next round. Usawoti, in case you don't remember from S&S, devils have spell resistance.

Thanks for the heads up on the devils, I didn't remember specifically that they had spell resistance, and worse, I don't remember if that includes channeled negative energy :(

Remembering that the winged creatures had some sort of resistance to his magic, Usawoti couldn't remember how they responded to negative energy. Lifting his bone ring he points it at the devil, commanding "നെഗറ്റീവ് ഊർജ്ജം" Channeling a ray of negative energy at the flying creature.

Channel ray negative energy DC 25
attack: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (1) + 23 = 24 damage: 8d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 3, 6, 5, 3, 5, 4) = 34
Rolling a '1' I guess I don't need to worry about it

Channel resistance is a separate ability that grants a bonus to relevant saving throws. Devils don't typically have it, so you're good to go. ;-)

Your ray of energy goes wide as the erinyes fires a barrage of flaming arrows at you.
Barrage: 1d20 + 16 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 16 - 4 = 30 Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Barrage: 1d20 + 16 - 3 ⇒ (12) + 16 - 3 = 25 Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Barrage: 1d20 + 16 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 16 - 2 = 33 Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
She's 10ft in the air and 30ft from Usawoti.

Frowning as he catches a flaming arrow in the shoulder Usawoti cannot believe his negative energy missed his target. Undeterred, he keeps the bone ring pointed at the devil, commanding "നെഗറ്റീവ് ഊർജ്ജം" Channeling a ray of negative energy at the flying creature.

Channel ray negative energy DC 25
attack: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (3) + 23 = 26 damage: 8d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 6, 5, 2, 5, 2) = 30
a three, I hope it's touch AC is low :)

"Ye got this?" Torsten asked, trusting that Usawoti had the situation under control. He continued clearing a path as he did so.

Not quite sure how to answer his friend, Usawoti calls over his shoulder, "I think so?"

@Torsten: In that case, it'll take one more round to finish clearing a path to the door.

@Usawoti: Touch AC is almost always significantly lower than regular AC. Case in point: a CR 22 Great Wyrm Red Dragon has AC 39, Touch AC 0.

Will DC 25: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Usawoti's energy ray strikes the devil, and it immediately retaliates with another barrage of flaming arrows. Meanwhile, Torsten continues clearing a path through the mountain of clutter.
Barrage: 1d20 + 16 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 16 - 4 = 28 Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Erinyes: 30pts damage

"Blast" cursing as he is unable to dodge all three arrows, Usawoti looks down at the arrow piercing his thigh. Swinging the glade on his Klar to chop the arrows shaft off, he lifts the bone ring again commanding "നെഗറ്റീവ് ഊർജ്ജം" Channeling a ray of negative energy at the flying creature. Calling back to Torsten, "Hopefully I'm doing more damage to her than she is to me."

Channel ray negative energy DC 25
attack: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (10) + 23 = 33 damage: 8d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 4, 3, 2, 2, 3, 2) = 23

"Sounds like it." Torsten said, as he kept clearing the way. "If ye want me to start throwing shyt, just say so."

Will DC 25: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Usawoti continues to chip away at the devil as she retaliates with more arrows.
Barrage: 1d20 + 16 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 16 - 4 = 19 Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Barrage: 1d20 + 16 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 16 - 4 = 15 Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Meanwhile, Torsten finishes clearing a path to the door.

Erinyes: 41pts damage

Dodging the devils arrows, Usawoti begins to get impatient, he lifts the bone ring again commanding "നെഗറ്റീവ് ഊർജ്ജം, ഒരു സ്പെൽ പോയിന്റ് ചേർക്കുക" Using more of his divine magic to Channeling a more powerful ray of negative energy at the flying creature.

Channel ray, channel surge, grand channel (spending three points) negative energy DC 25

Readied Action Throwing Debris: 1d20 + 22 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 22 - 4 = 24
Damage with arcane strike: 1d4 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

With the doorway cleared, Torsten turned just in time to see Usawoti channel a ray of energy at the creature that was filled with divine power. He bent down to pick up some random debris, ready to start throwing whatever was at hand if the foe remained in the air.

Will DC 25: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Usawoti's energy ray strikes the devil in the squarely in the face, and it drops to the ground, dead.

Potential Loot
flaming composite longbow (STR +5)

Smiling as the devil drops from the air, Usawoti walks towards the body, picking up the bow. Turning he shows the bow to Torsten as he walks towards the room, the odd pathway cleared. "You don't see one of these everyday."

Notting the tunnel through the room of destroyed stuff, his smile widens. "That's one way to clear a path, what did you find?"

"Well done." Torsten said, glancing at the devil and the very expensive bow that was retrieved. "Knew ye could handle it." He added, as he looked into the room, considering how to answer Usawoti's question. What did he find?

The room is dusty and has been abandoned for a while, but it shows an unexpected level of comfort. A large bed sits in a corner, and there are a nice table with two chairs, a desk with a stuffed armchair, a lamp, and a stove. On the northwest wall is a glass showcase full of rare decks of cards. Within the showcase are at least fifty different decks, all displayed with care and competence, usually with several pieces laid face-up and with a matching leather, ivory, or wooden case. What looks like a partially-melted stone trapdoor sits in the floor in the northern corner, and a chamber pot sits behind a partially-folded screen to the south.

A few moments after you enter, a furtive scratching sound comes from one of the walls, and a second later, a well-hidden door opens a crack.

Strangely enough, Usawoti has 'scent' from ranger talent. Without getting too close, does the chamber pot have any odor from being used lately?

Initially not touching anything, Usawoti eventually drags a finger across the table. Holding it up, showing the dust collected on the tip of the finger. "Doesn't seem like anyone's been here for a long time."

Hearing the furtive scratching sound, He sighs, "I'll wager we're dealing with ghosts or undead." Seeing the well-hidden door open a crack, he nods towards it. Moving to the door, he opens it further looking inside.

Will his 'deathwatch eyes' identify ghosts as well as undead?

”Thought we were done with ghosts.” The dwarf growled, his voice serious. Without further comment he followed Usawoti in…

@Usawoti: Ghosts are undead, so your deathwatch eyes will identify them.

This dusty room contains a bed, a large armchair, a one-legged table, and a silver lantern. On the table, near the lantern, sits a dusty harrow deck in an elegant redwood case. As you enter the room, the temperature drops by several degrees. A few moments later, a strange, roiling mist rises from the cards in the case, causing them to flutter and dance on the table as if in a small breeze. The mist takes on a vaguely humanoid form - that of an older man with horns on his brow. Seeing you, he reaches out and whispers in a gravelly voice, "Bring me my bones... they rot so far below... bring me my bones... I can help you if you bring me my bones..." The figure then fades away.

A minute or so after the ghost vanishes, each of you feels a slight tug from the harrow card you found before storming Castle Korvosa. The direction of this tug remains consistent regardless of your position, as if it's trying to lead you that way. It seems Zellara's become able to get involved....

A chill running down his spine, as much from the sense of dread as the drop in temperature, Usawoti steels himself as the room manifests signs of a poltergeist. Not surprised when the mist takes on form, he listens to it's request. As the tiefling fades he turns to Torsten asking, "You think we can avoid the guards long enough to get below?"

As the card begins to tug at his pouch he gives a wry smile, "It seems Zellara thinks we should get involved."

He gestures back the way they came. "Should we use the wide main stairs where there is plenty of room to fight or go back out to the narrow tower where we ascended in the first place?"

"Nay idea." Torsten answered. When his friend gestured back, he stood for a moment in contemplation. "Well, we can't turn back now. The narrow tower it is, then. Harder for any enemies we run into to use numbers against us."

As you make your way to the narrow tower, another devil materializes before you - one with a crown of deadly horns and wielding a vicious-looking spiked chain. As he dramatically whirls his weapon around him in an impressive display of skill, an imperious voice resounds in your minds. "I am Mavrokeras. Prepare to meet your doom!"
Enemy Initiative: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Your Initiative: 2d20 + 14 ⇒ (19, 10) + 14 = 43 (average 21)
1d100 ⇒ 3
His brow furrows for a brief moment, as if in frustration.
Your turns! He's waiting on a landing, about 10ft in front of you.

Sorry, got distracted.

Raising an eyebrow at the devil, Usawoti, turns and looks at Torsten. Nodding towards the devil he smiles, "Our doom he says." Raising his fist he replies, "You should have looked the other way, or will you just reform in hell so you don't think you need to be worried?"

Curious to see what the creature's defenses are he commands the bone ring, "വിനാശകരമായ സ്ഫോടനം" Sending a destructive blast at the thing.

Destructive blast, extend range, focused blast, crafted blast: bludgeoning
attack: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (20) + 23 = 43 damage: 7d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 1, 1, 5, 3, 3, 2) + 6 = 26 + 5

Sometimes having a heigh difference was useful, and this was one of those times. Usawoti's blast went out, just as Torsten moved forward. The bolt sailed harmlessly over Torsten's head, and impacted with much, much greater harm. The dwarf went to work, using sheer brawn to knock the demon to the ground so that he could pummel it back into the depths from which it came.

Usawoti dodges a swipe from the devil's chain as he finishes his spell, and while it's less effective than usual due to his target's innate defenses, it still delivers a nasty blow. Then Torsten charges in, trips the devil, and unleashes a powerful flurry of attacks. Now severely injured, 'Mavrokeras' seems afraid as he frantically tries to dispatch Torsten while lying on the ground.

Unfortunately for him, I don't think any of those connect....

Mavrokeras: 252pts damage; prone

The devil found itself in a very precarious position. It was prone on the ground, with Torsten atop of it. He had his knees locked around the devil's midsection, so that it could not get up or roll away, and given that it was on its back, it had no space to really swing. While its claws should have torn right through the dwarf, his tattoos made his skin as hard as steel, and the claws proved to be no more effective than a human's finger nails. The dwarf's fists, though? They proved to be more than adequate for the job. While Torsten's first attempt to attack failed as he was forced to keep the devil from squirming out, the subsequent attacks came down one after another, and did not stop until the devil's face was unrecognizable and all movement stopped.

Sorry, was contemplating what attack would help, I really feel like Torsten has it handled :)

As the devil fell under the mighty fists of his friend, Usawoti considered sending another destructive blast at the devil. Realizing, instead of attacking, he was actually standing there watching his friend pulverize the outsider. shaking his head "They never listen."

Potential Loot
Large unholy spiked chain
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The stairs terminate at the armory where you entered ... where you find a morbidly obese human (there's a picture in the usual spot) flanked by the two barbed devils from earlier. You've found the seneschel.

Your Initiative: 2d20 + 14 ⇒ (2, 20) + 14 = 36 (average 18)
Naturally, the devils are between you and the seneschel, and you'll have to move to reach them.

Having picked up the chain before they head into the stairwell, Usawoti wonders what they will find waiting for them at the bottom. Seeing the two devils, he shrugs, no surprise there. But the obese seneschal is a surprise for a couple different reasons. Moving towards the devil on the right he studies the devil as he calls past, "Surender seneschal, and we'll talk."

He then feints with the hammer, addressing the devil, "But you two will need to go back where you came from." Shifting the weight of the hammer he attacks the devil, following up with repeated blows.

The dwarf came in after his friend, aiming for the second devil. He didn't say a word as he went to part dismantling it. Part of him hoped the seneschal would refuse, as he didn't know how they'd manage to get a prisoner like him out of the castle.
