Bozzinator's Ruins of Azlant Extravaganza

Game Master Bozzinator

Fang tries to zap at green then takes a 5ft back through the "wall"

"Big, rocky, scorpion thingys. Don't look like good eat'n, and prolly don't make for good jewelry neither." Fang winks at Mary Kay.

Ranged vs Touch: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11
Elec: 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8

"What the deuce?" Eustice says after passing through the barrier and nearly colllding with Rhys. "What the devil are these things?" he holds his crossbow bolt, unsure of its effectiveness and levels his hypnotic stare at green.

Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 Nature +1

Assuming I don't learn something that would make the following foolhardy:

Rhys steps forward and attacks Green.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Mary Kay will attempt to walk through the wall, see how crowded it is and end up behind Rhys and Atlan. She decides to concentrate on focusing fire, sending a jolt to the one basing the pair.

Jolt w/ PB/PS vs Touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Electric: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Arcane Bolt 6 | Sorcerer 1

Fang and Rhysfar are unable to connect with the creature. Eustice levels his hypnotic stare at green. Mary is sure that she connected with the creature but it seems ineffective.

Everyone watches as the fake wall image fades.

After seeing the result of her jolt, Mary turns toward Fang, "I think we need a different element!"

Atlan will strike with his trident.

the only element that I have is cold steel

trident PA: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 211d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Atlan landed a blow against the creature but it wasn't as effective as he thought it would be.

+2atk/damage/will saves/+4hp

Trident PA: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 141d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Mary Kay sees the glancing blows of the trident. "They seem to be actual crystal. Hammers or other blunt might be better if anyone has them." She looks down at her cestus. Shrugging she sends a ball of arcane energy at Green.

Arcane Bolt w/ PB/PS vs Touch: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Force: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Arcane Bolt 5 | Sorcerer 1

Rhys stabs at green. Was going to try to set up flank, but may be more useful to cover Atlan's withdrawal.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Eustice uses his painful stare on green when Atlan connects causing an additional 1hp of mental damage.

"Oh dear..." Eustice mumbles to himself as he backs away to gain some distance. He fires his crossbow at green, ready to apply his painful stare of the creature takes more damage.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Piercing: 1d8 ⇒ 4

”No zapping and hit it with a stick? What if I ain’t got a stick?”

Fang moves as best as he can into flank (pulling his dagger out on the way) on yellow then tries to punch it. probably provoking from the move, or the punch. Maybe both of it’s got combat reflexes

Melee w/flank: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 1 + 2 = 14
Non-lethal: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Eustice's intense stare effects green metnally. Everyone is having a hard time connecting with the creatures.

Yellow is going to take the attack of opportunity at Fang.

Stinger Damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 4) + 3 = 12

The two creatures do some serious damage to the group.

Yellow
Rhysfar HP 4/19
Fang HP 2/26
Eustice
Mary Kay

Everyone is up.

"Fall back!"

Rhys delays to cover the rest of the parties retreat.

Mary Kay moves back. She either takes the gem she was looking at earlier, or picks one off the floor and throws it at the back wall.

"For all I know, this is either food or an aphrodisiac! Maybe ditch any you picked up!'

Arcane Bolt 6 | Sorcerer 1

Fang assumes a defensive posture and withdraws from the fighting.

will need to step back instead of just straight up to avoid provoking, but once i double move, i plan to activate the quick runners shirt and move just a tad more.... every little bit helps if we're going to be running >.<

"Running away!" Eustice screams and with a flurry of motion from his tentacles, double moves to the north.

You are able to get away from the creatures and they do not follow. You can make your way back to your house and the clerics will come over and help heal you up. Ramona is going to come to your house as you are resting. What happened? Did you guys must have encountered something pretty bad?

Mary Kay gives a humorless chuckle. "Tough ecosystem down there. Some creatures were using darkness, so limited a bunch of what we could do. Ran into more of the creatures that raided the booze and attacked Joiner. Those we were able to take care of.

What got us was some crystal creatures. Fang and I had no luck with our electric, and most of our weapons were just scratching the surface without any real damage. They got a couple good blows in, and we opted for wisdom.

Tomorrow we have a small area left to check out. We still need to decide how much, if any, of a problem those crystal things are going to be."

During out reat I want to trade out the False Flanker Mesmerist trick for Psychosomatic Surge.

Eustice will clap Atlan on the back. "Sorry I wasn't very helpful down there. I'll try to do more in the future."

As you describe the crystal creatures she as a bit more information about their appearance but then says, Oh those are Crysmals, they resist electricity, immune to fire/cold, and you need to get a bludgeoning weapon to hurt them the best. I hope that helps out a little.

Crysmals
N Small outsider (earth, elemental)
DR5/Bludgeoning
Immune to Fire & Cold
Resist Electricity 10

"I wonder, is there anyone around who has any acid? Spirit of niter, something strong? Or, perhaps, someone who can make some?"

Rhys will argue for a full rest and to go in prepared—I'll have longstrider, lead blades, and magic fang up, plus the biggest bludgeoning weapon I can get my hands on. That said, if you guys want to skip it, I understand. I'm not so much focused on getting the gems as exploring the rest of the cave and potentially finding ioun stones.

Mary Kay looks a little sheepish. "There is a bottle on the back shelf at the house. I was making some the last few weeks. One I put there, one is in the barracks for the guards, and I have one in my footlocker. Anyone can use it."

I put one on the party loot page. I figured she would be making a small stockpile of alchemical items and eventually wondrous items.

After Ramona is finished telling you guys about the creatures. She lets you guys rest, you are able to get a full night's rest. Once you guys wake up and start getting ready, you hear about someone seeing a creature that sounds a lot like the Choker that was seen before but seemed to get spooked by the animals.

"This isn't over. There still down there, and apparently they're not too good at learning lessons."

"Joy..." Eustice mutters weakly.

"I wonder if the Crysmals are blocking the only other way out for them? Their only way out is well."

"Something intelligent put up that illusion." Rhys says. "Nothing I saw down there seemed like they were capable of that. There must be something else down there, something that can use magic."

"My advice is we get some flasks of acid for Eustice and Fang. I'll bring Esgidiau with me now that we have another way in. I think we'll do fine if we're prepared."

"I c'n hold a spiky club as well as the rest of yas. Ramona, got anything like that?"

looking to borrow/buy a morningstar.

Eustice can carry my flask, Fang can take the one off the party sheet.

I will be bringing a sling and some stones for this trip. I also want to bring a simple wooden frame with a cover. Leather, sail cloth, it dont matter. I drew a line on the map. It would be a simple 5x5 vertical blank canvas with an extra leg to let it stand on its own. As we go by I want to quickly set it up. Maybe they are smart enough to stay on their side of the 'wall'.

Rhys is hoping to borrow a greatclub, or a sansetsukon. Failing either, a morningstar will do.

After resting, and before returning to the caverns, Rhys will find some berry bushes and cast goodberry again.

1st use: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6
2nd use: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

Finally, he'll cast longstrider before entering the tunnels, and before reaching the area with the crysmals he'll cast magic fang on Esgidiau and lead blades on himself.

Atlan will attempt to borrow a great club if available but will struggle with weilding it due to being more of a dexterious fighter

With morningstar in hand, Fang follows the others back down underground.

"Le's try 'n bash one an see how it goes, eh?"

You can easily grab the weapons you need and make your way to the cave. As you enter you see the Crysmals in the same area picking through the gems.

Bullet: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Eustice will activate Painful Stare for 1hp of mental damage on yellow if yellow takes damage this round.

Mary Kay moves closer while slowly twirling the sling. "It has been awhile, but I think I remember." After seeing the stone crack into the shell. "Yupp. The muscles still remember."

Eustice still is having a hard time getting used to the sling. Mary looks at trying to aid Atlan. Atlan is able to make a connection and gets a solid hit.
