GM Tyranius (PF2) The Slithering (Inactive)

Game Master Tyranius

@Scratch- Correct, immune to precision damage and crits.

@Bangy- That token is Cursebreaker

Torra's ray of frost freezes a decent portion of the jelly as it rimes the surface. Renthiel cautiously approaches the ooze, deciding how he wants to proceed.

Renthiel recognizes these creatures as ochre jelly's. They will split into two identical forms if damaged by slashing, piercing or electricity damage and sense movement through the air. An Ochre Jelly grabs ahold of their victims and squeezes them tightly.

Scratch's sling bounces a stone ito the jelly, wounding it slightly. Urdda assumes her mountain stance, waiting for the enemy to come to her as it has proven beneficial in the past.

◆◆) Ready

"Come to us!? But we don't have time!"

Our ysoki hero gingerly sneaks in behind the impenetrable Urdda!

Bangy sneaks in behind urdda, waiting for the oozes to come to them. Unfortunately the mindless ochre jelly's attack the fleeing humans and swarm around Cursebreaker.

Green Pseudopod vs Cursebreaker AC 27: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30

Cursebreaker gets a small chunk knocked off of it as Urdda manages a broken rib and a massive bruise. Cursebreaker pulses teh dirt on the ground as the oozes begin to slow around it.

Green Fort DC 27 vs Slow effect: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

GM - whichever ooze is closest to the humans is the one Bangy will stride 50 feet to smash!

"What are those things?!" Utek screams, obviously distracted.

Urdda grimly punches and stomps on the jelly in silence before raising her hands defensively.

Bludgeoning damage, Forceful: 2d8 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1) + 6 + 4 = 13

Flurry of Blows [A], Strike [A], and activate Mountain Stronghold [A]. AC 29

Bangy and Urdda tackle into one of the ooze, their blows echo down the alley with wet dull thuds as you bash ochre jelly that was once a person, once one of the fleeing human's family. Utek sets up some contingency measures as chaos seems to have taken hold over the entire city.

"Hey, guys, Cursebreaker is moving on. We can't stay behind."

If Cursebreaker is moving ahead at 20' per round, we shouldn't even think about a 10 min pause. I think I need to save everything since this might end up being a continuous thing now. :( We probably need to at least match the statue's movement each round.

Torra moves up and sends another beam of cold at the ooze nearest her friends.

Ray of Frost: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30 for Cold damage: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 3) + 4 = 16

Scratch nods and switches to the red ooze, he moves to a clear line of fire as he reloads the sling and whips another bullet into the strawberry fruitcake with a sloorp

"Ya, Torra's got a point. Ain't gonna have time fer any whiskey n crumpet breaks today guys. Keep them sludge buckets from gettin' close n mucklin' on!"

Sling: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28
Damage (B): 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Torra sends another ray of frost into the jelly, freezing it in place while Renethiel and Scratch bludgeon it further with a nearby stone. Two of the ooze stay on you as the third mindless one follows Cursebreaker.

Red Pseudopod vs Urdda AC 29: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
Red Pseudopod vs Urdda AC 29: 1d20 + 15 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 15 - 5 = 21

Yellow Pseudopod vs Cursebreaker AC 27: 1d20 + 15 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 15 - 5 = 21

The ooze are just too slow as they can't seem to make a hold on anyone nearby. You quickly lose sight of cursebreaker as it rounds the corner of the building.

"Urrda, stay focused. Don't let the oozes get to you."

◆ Sustain Nudge Fate on Urrda

He watches the oozes closely and looks for an opening. With his mind, he tosses some piece of rubble at the red ooze.

"I'll keep ole tall n pointy in sight, you guys finish these sludges off." Scratch starts moving to the north as he reloads, slings another shot at red before moving again and reloading.

Sling: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
Damage (B): 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Considering the basically nil amount of damage I can do I'd rather make sure our friend doesn't somehow get abducted by Aspis or what have you. Scratch will triple move towards its route next round to keep eyes on it, then lay down marks to let everyone know the route.

Utek's stone spatters through the wounded ooze as it loses all integrity and falls apart. Scratch tosses a stone into another ooze and backpedals down another road, hoping to intersect back with Cursebreaker. Bangy and Urdda club the green ooze over and over again, sending specks of it all over the dirt floor.

Torra freezes the jelly while Renthiel clobbers it with another stone. With Cursebreaker out of sight the ooze turns back as it senses your presence and reaches out for Bangy.

The pair of ooze grab ahold of Bangy as they squeeze, their caustic oils burning at his fur. Cursebreaker gets well out of sight as Scratch can only possibly keep an eye on it at this point. 55 feet off the map.

"THIS is for specrtes making me hurt my friends!"
"THIS is for cultists dodging in front of arrows for their leader!"
"THIS is for biting dinosaurs!"
"THIS is for kissing that ugly succubus!"

Tears froth to the surface as he takes all of his frustration out on the poor oozes with his new favorite implement - his pent up emotions culminating into a brutal climax!

Urdda raises an eyebrow at Bangy’s overly-dramatic outburst, then continues methodically squishing jelly between her feet and the ground.

Renthiel places another stone in the sling, readies his cloak and moves away from the blobs.

Scratch triple moves towards the statue, doing his best to keep it in sight. "Yer doin' great Bangy, really livin' up to yer namesake with that great club!"

Covered in guck, Bangy smiles at his dwarven friend.

"I think you guys got this. I'll go after Cursebreaker."

◆ Sustain Nudge Fate on Urrda.

◆◆ Cast Dimension Door to try to get as close to Cursebreaker as he can.

A wooden door frame appears in front of Utek. The orc steps through it and is transported nearly a hundred feet away, right behind Cursebreaker.

Ack! Apparently Utek can't bring another creature with him when he Dimension Doors. So that means Mita will have to stay behind.. Someone please watch over him!

Utek steps through the door and reappears next to Cursebreaker to keep an eye on it. Renthiel reloads his sling and raises his cloak protectively. Scratch breaks off, cutting through the alleyways as he catches up with Utek and the statue.

The remaining two ooze splatter against the ground underneath Urdda and Bangy's attacks. You each rush off down the road as it takes several minutes and labored breathing to catch back up with teh statue and hand Mita back to Utek.

Not all residents of Kibwe are unhappy about the spread of the curse, and some malevolent creatures are reveling in spreading the slithering to as many humans as possible. This includes a band of three redcaps who know they’ve contracted the slithering but also know it won’t harm them. They’ve been marching through a street lined with market stalls holding crude human dolls slathered with slimy, viscous oil on each of their scythes. The redcaps have also written slogans like “Watch Your Step around Humans!” and “New Flavor: Human Jelly” in chalk along their scythes.

The redcaps prowl through the street and go out of their way to touch as many humans as they can, cackling every time they do. The entire city is now in absolute chaos as there is just too much infection to get it under control.

The Archive of the Sun is, physically speaking, mostly unchanged from the heroes’ last visit. The locals, never inclined to trespass on the abandoned building in the first place, now wholly leave it alone as they deal with the slithering wrecking their city.

The opportunistic halfling Paga Nikohian, Tomil’s second-in-command, was rarely privy to her superior’s schemes. She didn’t know that Tomil had preemptively removed Cursebreaker from the Archive of the Sun prior to the slitherbound stones’ arrival, but she knew that the Archive of the Sun was somehow important to Tomil. She’s correctly deduced that the slithering is Tomil’s plan gone horribly awry, and she’s surmised that Tomil was killed by the very curse he’d planned to unleash.

Paga collected the non-human Aspis Consortium agents in Kibwe, and in looking to take advantage of the situation, she retreated to the Archive of the Sun. If the ancient archive was instrumental in stopping the curse, she intends to hold it at all costs so the curse wipes out every human in Kibwe. At that point, she intends to assert as much control over the decimated government as she can.

Will give you one last moment to heal as you have time on the walk to the Archive.

A final slam splatters the last ooze into a shower of exploding goo!

Covered in it, Bangy Piper stows his Greatclub, pulls back out his trusty shortbow, and says "Alright Cursebreakers - let's finish this: Onward to the Archive of the Sun!"

He looks towards his PI "Did you expect that we'd make it this far?" fondly remembering their initial meeting, and "See you on the other side!"

He breaks into a run, shooting indiscriminately at marauding redcaps on his way to the holy center!

(Utek should be at 73/73 HP)

Utek follows the almighty Bangy. "Attaboy, Mr. Piper!". The orc applauds, watching Bangy indiscriminately shoot at the redcaps. "We can't get all of them!". Utek helps out, flinging stones at any he sees, dashing after the ysoki!

Torra patches you all up just before getting to the the main door. This entrance to the Archive of the Sun is little more than a deep, square alcove. A few discarded jars lie on the ground near the single door. A double door opposite it bears a sunburst and is closed.

Three metal troughs are stacked by a double door leading further in. Cursbreaker bashes and pushes loudly against the door. After a couple quick thrusts the statues scrapes the doors open as the troughs scrap loudly across the floor.

The guards here are diligent and resourceful. They know they’re likely to be Paga’s primary soldiers when the humans of Kibwe are all dead. They quickly take cover behind the piles of stone they’ve stacked and level crossbows in your direction.

Urdda rolls her eyes at the sight of the crossbows. "You're a bunch of idiots," she grumbles, settling into her comfortable stance and feeling the solid ground beneath her. "You think this curse will just go away and things will go back to normal? Grow up - the city will be abandoned and you'll be jobless." She stomps forward and attempts to knock the legs out from under the nearest archer.

Following just behind Cursebreaker, Bangy Piper aims to shoot the first agent behind the door... but his finger slips at the last minute, sending the arrow feather-first careening sideways ineffectually...

...as Urdda, Torra, and Renthiel race in besides him, he fumbles in the tight space for another arrow, and nocks it, milliseconds behind his foes...

...but manages to add "...or Dead!" as his anger boils over into wanton violence against these plague engineers and opportunists before him!

Renthiel acts quickly and moves along with Urdda but spearates to go for the flank, striking out with his sword cane when he gets into position.

Renethiel takes stock of the situation and quickly realizes how well out of hand this is going to get and fast. Cursebreaker is going to batter his way through these chambers alerting its presence probably faster than you will be able to take care of the Aspis Agents. He knows that he will need to take care of these threats with little time to think about it.

Diving into the room renethiel and Urdda slam into the dwarf, nearly knocking the crossbow from his hands as he is tossed to the ground. "We can't catch the disease. Only humans are dying from it. Let them go, there is no stopping it." The dwarf bellows out.

Bangy watches as Torra sends an incinerating blast into the room, narrowly avoiding Urdda!

Oh - she'd have her HEAD for that! Never hear the end of it! He reflects back upon his experiences being scolded by his human "Grandma" - but also (importantly) protected by her! - and momentarily, the rage in his heart melts into a pleasant sensation of simple but devout appreciation for the unbreakable if stubborn dwarven monk.

“Think, gravelhead - what happens when all the humans in town are dead? Do things go back to business as usual? NO!” Urdda stomps on the poor fellow for emphasis a few times. “Now you have a trade city that can’t trade with anyone else! You can’t trade with other non-human settlements because they trade with human towns. So they cut you off as well, and now you’re starving in the middle of the jungle because of your own d*mn stupidity!” Words cannot express her building frustration - only a headbutt.

It feels like days have past since Scratch walked into the temple, crossbow at the ready, following the Cursebreaker. This thing just doesn't take breaks... past by three perfectly good cats that'd make a fine supper but NOooo, no time to stop to skin a cat in this heat!

He finally breaks out of his distraction and the room is exploding, bolts are flying, and Urrda keeps kicking cousin Charlie in the face. "She's right ya know, humans are where the money's at, geez Charlie!"

He takes aim at the green Dwarf hiding behind the rock pile and sends a bolt her way before moving ahead while reloading.

Damage (P), Precision: 2d10 + 4 + 1d8 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 + (3) = 12

If that's a crit then weapon specialization kicks in: Bow: If the target of the critical hit is adjacent to a surface, it gets stuck to that surface by the missile. The target is immobilized and must spend an Interact action to attempt a DC 10 Athletics check to pull the missile free; it can't move from its space until it succeeds. The creature doesn't become stuck if it is incorporeal, is liquid (like a water elemental or some oozes), or could otherwise escape without effort.

Bangy suddenly charges into the dwarves, leaping on top of one as he begins to bite at his chest. He will certainly be picking beard hairs out of his teeth for weeks.

Scratch's bolt sticks right into the dwarf's hand, pinning him to the barricade as he bellows in pain. Renthiels sword cane thrusts down at the Aspis agent sticking him between the ribs. Urdda tries to pummel the man and misses. "We will pick up the pieces once it is done. Not everything revolves around those humans."

Round 1
Bangy Piper** (108/108; 10 Temp HP)
Scratch (94/94)
Utek (73/73)

Torra moves into the room and sends a jolt of electricity to two of the dwarves, red and blue.

Electric Arc, Reflex save vs DC25: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 3) + 4 = 12

Wow that's pitiful damage. Bah.

Torra moves into the room and sends a jolt of electricity to two of the dwarves, red and blue.

[dice=Electric Arc, Reflex save vs DC25]4d4+4

Wow that's pitiful damage. Bah.

Pitiful is 2d10 + 4 + 1d8 for 12...

Scratch wrinkles his nose a bit as he was sure he sharpened that bolt.. or was it his dagger? Sharpening things and drinking isn't always the best plan.

Red Reflex DC 25: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22 12 Damage
Blue Reflex DC 25: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 24 Damage

Torra sends a large jolt into two of the dwarves. The dwarves shudder and convulse as one seems to take it far worse than the other. His teeth chatter and clatter against eat other as he can barely move.

Unhindered, Cursebreaker moves up to the northern doors and blasts them off of their hinges as it enters he room of the lower sun. The sun symbol on the floor of this room continues to glow, although a network of wires across the floor spark, hiss and dim the glow where the wires cross it. The wires are connected to a contraption of iron and wood about two feet square.

The Aspis agents know that this room contains magic power they haven’t yet tapped so they’ve jury-rigged a technological solution to try to bleed off some of the symbol’s power. Two enterprising Aspis Consortium technicians are hard at work in this room. These gnomes particularly love reckless alchemy and radical science, so the opportunity to experiment with the ancient magic of the Archive of the Sun delights them. They are so wrapped up in their work that they are very startled as the door bursts open. "One taps the other. Get the poison!"

Initiative: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31

THe Apis Agents below grab their battleaxes and zone in around Bangy.

Red Battleaxe vs Urdda AC 27: 1d20 + 16 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 16 - 2 = 26

Red Battleaxe vs Urdda AC 27: 1d20 + 16 - 5 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 16 - 5 - 2 = 29
Damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (3, 1) + 8 = 12 Crit for 24

Red Battleaxe vs Urdda AC 27: 1d20 + 16 - 10 ⇒ (5) + 16 - 10 = 11

Yellow Battleaxe vs Bangy AC 24: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30
Damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (3, 3) + 8 = 14

Green Battleaxe vs Bangy AC 24: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34
Damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (1, 5) + 8 = 14 Crit for 24

Blue Battleaxe vs Bangy AC FF 22: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

Bangy and Urdda are unable to avoid all of the axes as they each take some nasty strikes.

"Where's this rabid wombat style been hidin' all this time Banger? Pick up a few tricks from Freerat in the last few weeks or wut?" Scratch keeps his wits about him, steadily advancing and sinking bolts into the doomed, and stubborn Aspis Dwarves.

Utek gets frustrated with the agents. "Listen here folks, you know you wont survive, so why still fight?". Seeing as his words aren't doing much to sway the Aspis agents, Utek sighs.

"Watch out, Urrda!"

◆ Sustain Nudge Fate on Urrda.

◆ Cast Telekinetic Projectile on Blue

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26
