GM Euan's Rise of the Runelords (Inactive)

Game Master Euan

Val nods as Mogriv explains. She cannot fault him for his pessimism, but she also cannot share it. ”I can assure you we will not fail. We have prepared in ways that nobody else has been able to. We did the research and put in the hours and days and weeks of work. We can kill him once and for all. Please, trust us.”

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (9) + 25 = 34

"The mint and treasury you say?" Izomandakus echoes increasingly excited "A blue, treasure, coins and a sihedron ring, oh yes, let's go!"

If Valena convinces Morgiv to give the ring, Izomandakus is happy for Rastaf to have it "I want the blue dragon one"

As the group ventures out into the city, Izomandakus prepares himself with greater reversion, greater magic weapon and mage armor. Further preparations will wait for the treasury building.

"I want the blue dragon one"

Kast shrugs. "Yeah, sure, let's do that. Let's go get us some bling for Izo," he says, offering his boyish smile that isn't all that nice. "One mint treasury ice bling cone for Izo."

Kast will cast an additional Resist Energy, Electricity on himself, just in case.

"If you worry about guiding us, you don't have to. We'll find our way there, eventually," Kast responds to Mogriv. "Don't risk your life on this. Not this. That's our job...and you already leant your ring. That's enough."

Watching Mogiv lift his hand and show them the ring, Seamus smiles and waits as Val tries to talk him into giving it up. As Kast and Izomandakus talk about the 'dragon's ring' Seamus watches Val. Hopefully Mogiv will give up his ring. But if not, heck, he stole the ring of a 'Roper' what's to keep him from stealing Mogiv's ring. It's not like he wouldn't be doing him a favor.

Mogriv shakes his head, ”I need this ring, for the Spared. I cannot give it to you for then I cannot help the Spared. We want you to succeed, but not at all costs.” He looks chagrined, but steadfast in his own way.

"I can give you my ring in exchange, it is a good ring, almost as powerful as that one, and no distracted adventurer will think you are part of Karzoug's host while wearing, for it has no Sihedron" Izomandakus extends his ring of protection to Morgiv. It's a +5 one

Diplomacy aid: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (13) - 2 = 11

He looks uncertain, "I suppose I could swap one. Temporarily of course. We'll have to find another Sihedron ring." A simple task, yet an enormous one for the Spared.

He'll swap the rings.

As Izomandakus wants the dragon's ring, I suppose this goes to Rastaf. Don't forget the other abilities.

Hearing that Morgiv is willing to give up a ring, Seamus let's out a sigh. Looking to Val, he shrugs his shoulders and mouths 'Maybe I'll be able to steal the dragons?'

Turning back to Izomandakus he asks his friend, "Are you sure Pachemu can't wear the ring on one of her toes? Maybe we could pierce her ear?"

When the ring bling situationing is sitting cha-ching, Kast will be ready to move to Avenue Q.

”C’mon, let’s go get the dragon.”

Val gives Mogriv her most earnestly grateful smile, and it is not even a lie. ”Thank you, sincerely. We will make sure we honor your trust by attaining victory.” She gives Mogriv a chaste thankful kiss on the forehead and heads off with the others.

”So, a blue dragon. Did you say it shoots electricity? We should probably be prepared for that, though I am honestly more worried about their insane strength in melee. Make sure you are all prepared, boys.”

She’ll do her usual spells, so apport object on her scroll, freedom of movement, telepathic bond on the party, plus mirror image when we get close

Mirror Image: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Hearing Val say to be 'prepared' Seamus asks, "Would any one type of metal long knife work any better than another?"

You head back out into the city, being escorted to near the Tangle before leaving underground maze that holds the Spared. Mogriv smiles back as you depart, and you can hear the distant wattle of the Spared following along in the distance.

Still, you turn a corner to see Ghlorofaex himself seemingly appear out of thin air. He’s munching on a Spared, picking his teeth with its sword like a toothpick. ”I see you,” he rumbles deeply. ”Speak, and speak truthfully, for I will know if you lie.”

”Do you work for Karzoug?”

The air immediately around the dragon crackles with electricity.

We’re not in rounds as yet, but please keep your actions to one rounds worth.

• New map up!

Turning back to Izomandakus he asks his friend, "Are you sure Pachemu can't wear the ring on one of her toes? Maybe we could pierce her ear?"

"We will fix that when we need to do it" Izomandakus looks down worried at the pig.

---

When the dragon catches the group unprepared, Izomandakus quickly reacts casting greater heroism on himself "Forget about Karzoug. I am here for you Ghlorofaex. I want your offspring"
Diplomacy+HR+perfection: 1d20 + 1 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 1 + 4 + 3 = 25

And perfects his charisma to an heroic level, while Pachemu frowns at the sight of the dragon but does not reel back.

Val sees Izo immediately cast a spell on himself and decides that is just as fine a way for this to go as any. ”Greetings, Glorious Facts or whatever your name is. One could say that we work for Karzie, in the sense that we are working for the purpose of getting to him. You would be great help with that, in fact. Just hand over that nice ring of yours and we will be swell.”

She taps Seamus with a displacement spell while she stares at the great dragon, knowing very well it will not do anything of the sort.

As the party begins casting, so too does the dragon react!

- Round 1 -
Valena - 27 (7 images)
Seamus - 22
Ghlorofaex - 21
Rastaf - 15
Kast - 10
Izomandakus - 9

• First up - Valena and Seamus!

Val telepathically reaches out to her comrades. <“Not going to go too far ahead yet, in case any of you would like to make use very fast or perfect.”>

Val moves forward and motions for the dragon to come at her, smiling. She casts a spell on the big guy. She casts Ill Omen on the dragon. His next three d20 rolls he has to roll twice and take the lower. If he can ID the spell she cast with spellcraft, he will know he can spend a move action to reduce that number by 1

Also he has a -2 on will saves from her stare

Having spent enough time with Izomandakus, Seamus smiles when he recognizes that his friend was casting a spell. Furrowing his brow, his eyes widen, was Izomandakus is casting a spell at the dragon? Not sure how to process what Izomandakus had said with what he had done, Seamus turns towards Val as she makes a humorous comment, then touches him.

Feeling displaced as Val speak in his head, Seamus nods, commanding his armor to Fly. He takes to the air, trying to spread out so all of them would not be caught in a blast. Telling the dragon as he launches out. "The answer to your question is no. No we do not work for Karzoug."

standard: fly, flies 60 ft at a45 degree angle

Valena casts ill omen while Seamus moves into position.

Ghlorofaex chuckles as he inhales and breathes a line of electricity arcing at the party! Valena and Rastaf are hit and may make a DC 27 reflex for half. Also a Will save please, regardless of the reflex result.

Electricity: 18d8 ⇒ (3, 2, 8, 6, 5, 6, 3, 2, 8, 8, 4, 2, 1, 2, 1, 8, 8, 3) = 80

Also, everyone make a separate DC 25 will save or be shaken (fear effect).

Rastaf - 15

• Next up - Everyone, though you might want to wait for the Valena and Rastaf will saves to resolve…

Also, anyone have see invisibility going? I didn't, ah, see it, but maybe I missed it.

1d20 + 12 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 12 + 7 + 1 = 35 Will vs. DC25

Kast chooses not to be shaken, and pauses just a moment to see what others do before acting.

Reflex Save vs DC 27: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (13) + 20 = 33 She evades and takes nothing
Will Save vs DC ?: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21+2 vs charm or compulsion
Will Save vs DC 25: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25

Val was expecting a blast of dragon breath and deftly dodges out of the way, feeling quite pleased with herself.

reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
will: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (17) + 20 = 37

Rastaf isn't so lucky.

Izomandakus stands, no fear possible in his eyes <If I manage to get from him what I want, it might open an opportunity for you to get the ring unnoticed>

"Furious and sparky. I like that." Izomandakus states as he becomes a huge red dragon "You and me know we should never work for Karzoug. Let's not lower ourselves to work for lesser creatures." the dragon rests her claw over her womb "Partner with me and I can give you something he cannot."

Really nice lightning effects on map.

Round 1

Kast moves up 20’, stoutly refusing to give any ground after casting giving himself Grace of the Champion.. He will offer a smite to the dragon, responding with clear intent and challenge (though decidedly less showy than others, who strut and preen in red scales).

Rastaf cries out as he's scorched noting that the blue dragon isn't where he says he is. It's an illusion of some kind.

Knowledge Arcana DC 27 to know what spell was cast.

The dragon chortles, "What can you possibly offer me that a Runelord cannot, when you do not even know where I am - wizard?"

Those of you who have gone may retake your turns with this new knowledge.

K. arcana+HR+HA: 1d20 + 24 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 24 + 4 + 2 = 34
"I don't need to see you to offer you a heir worth of your might!" gloating to the blue's sense of pride, the red shouts back to the dragon, whatever his trick is.

Currently Izomandakus has blindsense 60' as a dragon.

Kast does re-think his actions, upon reflecting upon things. He focuses on the spell first, and then will decide what to do next.

1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23 Spellcraft

Izomandakus is able to share telepathically no doubt that it's some form of Project Image (link) that permits his breath weapon to function as well as spells. Crazy!

It does mean the dragon is within line of sight...

...and in fact Izomandakus' new senses can point him out to the group - poor Seamus! (I've put the dragon on the map, but remember he is invisible at the moment.) The dragon is creeping along the rooftops closing in on Seamus.

"A real dragon is not fooled by mere illusions" Izomandakus turns towards where the real dragon stands "So, what do you say to my offer?"
Disguise+HR+polymorph+perfection (pose as a dragon that was walking as human): 1d20 - 1 + 4 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (6) - 1 + 4 + 10 + 4 = 23
Diplomacy+HR+hero point+perfection of self: 1d20 + 1 + 4 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 1 + 4 + 8 + 4 = 34

<It is just an illusion, the real Glorofaex is behind the building, near Seamus> he transmits through the telepathic bond <If you could do something to convince him for some moment of passion... what could possibly go wrong?>

Val turns and gives dragon Izo a “you must be joking” glare so intense she almost accidentally puts her hypnotic stare on him. <“If…that is what you want…I suppose.”> She reaches out mentally to her other comrades. <“Hey, uh, Izo wants to convince Glorious Facts over there to have a tryst. He asked me to help, so, uh, just play along.”>

Val rushes up in the direction of the blue dragon. Double move

”Oh, now you are in trouble! Izomandakus has taken his true form now! A red dragon of a proud, long, and fertile lineage going back to old Thassilon.” It takes a heroic effort for her to not grimace at the word “fertile,” but Izo has been such a good sport about everything and asked for so very little up until now, so she perseveres.

Bluff: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (3) + 28 = 31
I will use a hero point to try to make Izo’s dreams come true.
Hero Point Reroll: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (17) + 28 = 45

He can't get everyone, but Izo, the pig, Kast and Rastaf get Holy Aura cast on them.

Realizing something more was going on, Seamus begins to fly around to where Val is, giving the wyrm a wide berth. Having lived at the 'kitten' for a long time He'd seen all kinds of flirtation and even a fair amount of 'roleplaying games' but this may take the cake. Winding up near Val, he asks <"Is this serious?>"

Double move?

Round 1

Kast moves up to 20’, stoutly refusing to give any ground after casting giving himself Grace of the Champion. He will offer a smite to the dragon, responding with clear intent and challenge (though decidedly less showy than others, who strut and preen in red scales).

Rastaf throws down a holy aura on all but Seamus. Kast moves up a bit to be in position. Izomandakus does his best to make himself, er, herself available to the mighty dragon. Valena does her valiant best to support this idea, and her teammate, as Seamus withdraws, but not without a swipe from the mighty blue turning visible with the effort.

AoO Bite on Seamus: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (18) + 31 = 49 damage: 6d6 + 11 ⇒ (2, 5, 6, 2, 2, 3) + 11 = 31 Images: 1d3 ⇒ 1
Displacement (low is bad for dragon): 1d100 ⇒ 82

He's surprised at the images that pop up as he attacks, but satisfied that he got the right one as the blood spurts down his chin.

Now that you can see him, Ghlorofaex chuckles as his form shimmers (displacement, 50% miss), ”Let us eat then, and sated, do what come naturally.” He sidles along the buildings, casting roofing tiles as he goes, and tries to take a bite out of Valena (image).

Bite on Valena: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (2) + 31 = 33 damage: 6d6 + 11 ⇒ (2, 3, 6, 4, 4, 1) + 11 = 31 Images: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Alas he wasn't paying attention and his bite goes wide.

Rastaf - 15 (-80hp)
Kast - 10
Izomandakus - 9
- Round 2 -
Valena - 27 (7 images)
Seamus - 22 (2 images, displaced, -31hp)
Ghlorofaex - 21

• Next up - Everyone.

<“Well there you go, Izo. All we have to do is win and you can talk out the Glorious Facts of Life together and have your chance at the first dragon kid with two dads. Actually probably not the first, given shapechanging, but there it is.”>

With Izo’s love life handled for the moment, Val decides it is time to show Glorious Facts how she deals with baddies trying to displace themselves.

Casting faerie fire on Glorious Facts to ruin his displacement

Cast Defensively DC 17: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19
SR Check: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

"Oh gross, we could have given a lesson to Karzoug together" Izomandakus shouts back as the dragon starts fighting his friends.

<Thanks for the support anyway. Finding kissing partners can be complicated> he transmits through.

Flying over the roof, the red says words of power casting greater dispel magic on the non willing dragon.
Dispel check: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
Dispel check: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24
Dispel check: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

Pachemu looks for a safe place where to stay.

Kast delays a moment for Val, as knows the fires of fae rage within her and often explode out.

Round 1, Init 10

Kast moves up to lunge at the dragon.

Iron Quill, two handed:
1d20 + 20 + 2 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 20 + 2 + 7 + 2 = 50 to hit; (GMW,+feast,+soul,+smite)
1d10 + 19 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 2 + 8 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 19 + (4) + (1, 3) + 2 + 8 + 8 = 53 magic cold iron/fire/holy damage (soul)

Iron Quill, two handed:
Pot Crit: 1d20 + 20 + 2 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 20 + 2 + 7 + 2 = 41 to hit; (GMW,+feast,+soul,+smite)
1d10 + 19 + 2 + 8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 19 + 2 + 8 + 8 = 42 magic cold iron/fire/holy damage (soul)

"Blast!" Cursing as the real dragon manifests and bits him in the leg, Seamus starts to realize what the blue dragon is recommending, "Baby dragons or not, I'd just as soon not be any bodies snack." Realizing the real dragon had moved their direction, Seamus eases back and throws his new magical spear at the attacker.

5ft step, attack + 1 returning frost Spear, I'll put the numbers in for a flank/sneak, but I don't see it
attack: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 18 + 1 = 26 + 2 if someone flanks, for damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 = 10 electical: 1d6 ⇒ 2 sneak?: 7d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 3, 3, 1, 2, 4) = 21

Rastaf, sure that he can't overcome the resistance of the dragon, casts Heal on himself, restoring his hit points.

Rastaf heals himself of his injury in its entirety! Izomandakus clambers onto the roof and hurls a triple spell volley at the poor blue - dispelling two spells (the obvious of which is the displacement). Valena tries a faerie fire, and only just squeaks it by the SR. Kast delays before drawing an AoO and responding with a resounding critical hit! Seamus tries to heave his new spear, but it clatters beyond the dragon before returning to his hand.

AoO Bite on Kast: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (2) + 31 = 33 damage: 6d6 + 11 ⇒ (6, 6, 1, 4, 1, 4) + 11 = 33

”Your allies are pointy!” The giant dragon squirms away from Kast’s might stab. So he focuses on Kast, to see if he can take what he dishes out.

Bite on Kast: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (11) + 31 = 42 damage: 6d6 + 11 ⇒ (2, 4, 5, 2, 5, 2) + 11 = 31

Ghlorofaex Fort: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (1) + 22 = 23 vs DC 25 or blindness

And the dice gods smile on the party as Ghlorofaex is blinded!

Wing on Kast: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (17) + 26 = 43 damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 4) + 5 = 14

"I can't wait to lay over your hoard of coins!" Izomandakus steps forward in the roof, grasping himself to the structure as some of the tiles collapse.

Pachemu looks up around the side of the building and decides to cover the group's flank.

Chuckling as the dragon called them all 'pointy' Seamus notices both that the dragon seemed to be blind, and that Kast had walked to a stable position. Marking Kasts height in the air, Seamus flew to the other side of the dragon climbing slightly as he flew. Finding himself on the opposite side of the dragon from Kast, he threw the spear towards the dragons back.

Val sighs and activates her armor’s flying ability for the first time today, taking to the air and moving in to face the dragon in melee.

Standard to activate her armor’s fly spell, move to move

Chuckling as the dragon called them all 'pointy' Seamus notices both that the dragon seemed to be blind, and that Kast had walked to a stable position. Marking Kasts height in the air, Seamus flew to the other side of the dragon climbing slightly as he flew. Finding himself on the opposite side of the dragon from Kast, he threw the spear towards the dragons back.

Retconning

Flying into the blue electrical field, Seamus attempts to stab Izomandakus's paramour.

Rastaf does something heroic! Izomandakus flaps up, but cannot quite land a blow - though he’ll have flank next turn with Valena who flies up to the battle (what’s your altitude? I guessed 20’ with the others more or less). Seamus moves into flank and squeaks out a hit, though of course the electrical is ignored. Kast delays again before managing one strike - thanks to flank!

Valena and Seamus (and Kast really, though the map doesn’t show it well) are all in the electrical field. It’s beautiful in a way, each hit by either side results in an electric arc that closes with the blow with small thunderclaps. The electricity is dangerous however, to those without resistance of some kind. Everyone within 10’ of the creature takes electrical: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2.

Ghlorofaex is too proud to admit a withdrawal is wiser than remaining. So he says nothing as he attempts to flee deeper into the city.

He casts defensively.
Concentration: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34 vs DC 23

The giant slithering thing suddenly vanishes from sight and you all teeter back a moment as your awareness comes to grips with something so large suddenly not there.

• I think we're out of initiative for the moment unless you can stop me/find me.

No lightning damage because Resist Energy.

1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23 Spellcraft

Kast grunts, looking around for the dragon even though he knows what happened. He just hopes the dragon teleported a short distance rather than out of sight.

He will climb up to 60', and look around. When he is sure that the dragon is gone, he will lay some freakin' hands on himself.

4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 1, 4) = 11 LoH

And then use a CLW wand:
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 CLW
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 CLW
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 CLW
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 CLW

"Well, maybe it's wherever its hoard is. Maybe we should find that," Kast suggests. "We need to find it if we want to get that ring."

Kast flies up a bit to look around, but not too high lest he be a target himself for other watchers. The dragon is no where to be seen. He descends and heals.

You know where the lair is thanks to the Spared. It's maybe a 20 minute quick march from here - moving with some urgency.

Furrowing his brow as the thing Just Disappears, Seamus watches Kast limp higher. As Kast looks about, Seamus looks towards Izomandakus and asks, "Does this mean you two aren't going out?"

When kast returns, apparently not seeing anything of note, Seamus nods at the idea of going to the hoard, "Maybe the dragon went there to lick it's wounds." Nodding towards Izomandakus, he adds, "I still have some time to fly, but maybe Izomandakus can give whoever's walking a ride?"

Kast air hies towards area Q, where he thinks the dragons lair might be...and maybe the dragon itself.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Val waves for everyone to get close. ”Since it was a dimension door, I can cast one myself on all of us. Maximum range, in the direction of the lair. Sound good, darlings?”
