PFS1e - 7-16: Faithless and Forgotten, Part 2 - Lost Colony of Taldor (low tier) (Inactive)

Game Master MauveAvengr

@Parrameleh, the stairs go further down. But before you move over there...something happens

As Andrelis moves in to the pond, he hears a rustling. One of the statues starts rumbling. The elf turns his head and sees the one in the northwest corner start to react to his presence.

This effigy depicts a tall human carved from marble with several serpents of dark stone coiled around their body. There are four in the room, but the other three seem to have crumbled through the ages. Only this one seems to have weathered time. And it does not look happy that you've invade this room.

---------------

[u]Round 1[/u]

Andrelis
Kaseem
Yuzu

Effigy

Gareleth
Parrameleh
Tuck

Andrelis, Kaseem, and Yuzu are up!

DC 13 Knowledge (arcana) to learn more about the creature!

Tuck must also make a DC 15 Will save before his turn.

Andrelis will move to his left, drawing his other sword as he does so. I think we made the statue angry...

Yuzu moves forward and starts strafing right around the pool, blade held high and forward. She shifts her leg back, and braces herself!

Readying an attacktion! With the brace property, that'll do 2x damage if it charges me.

Delay.

Andrelis moves, better positioning himself. Yuzu moves up as well, bracing with her nodachi. Kaseem waits to see what happens before acting.

The statue simply gazes at Yuzu. A beam of crackling hellfire blasts her from afar! Her fur singes. (20 vs touch. 7 fire damage!)

Tuck no longer needs to do a Will save. If he had failed, he would have walked up to a rune, read it, and become fascinated. But now that the statue attacked, the fascinated would have ended. Theres some talk on the forums it was kinda pointless.

Gareleth (15/15 hp)
Parrameleh (13/13 hp)

Everyone is up!

DC 13 Knowledge (arcana) to learn more about the creature!

Andrelis, when its his turn, will move forward, stabbing at the statue with his slivered weapon.

Shortsword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Silver, Cold Iron: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Seeing Andrelis move closer to the statue monster, Gareleth calls out, "Save some of the fun for us, brother!" and moves forward to blast at it with some arcanely conjured acid.

Acid Splash vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 6 - 4 = 51d3 ⇒ 2

Seeing Andrelis move closer to the statue monster, Gareleth calls out, "Save some of the fun for us, brother!" and moves forward to blast at it with some arcanely conjured acid.

[dice=Acid Splash vs Touch AC]1d20+6-4; 1d3

Don't forget to try the DC 13 Knowledge (Arcana) check to learn more about the statute. Thanks!

Yuzu grunts as she's blasted with flame; she suddenly feels a kinship with an elven twink she once met in her travels, but unlike him, manages to keep her footing-- and even press onwards. With supernaturally quick steps, she strides up to the statue and drives her silvered blade into it!

Big Stabby: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Silver Power Attack: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Parrameleh races around to get at the statue.

Double-move. Trying to get out of the way of ranged attacks but still able to 5ft step and strike next round.

Is any part of the statue moving? Does it look like I can restrain through grappling in anyway?

Yeah, the statue is moving, just not leaving it's square.

Garaleth knows this is a kind of construct. As with most constructs, it has construct traits, immunity to fire, DR 2/- and SR 8. It also has incredible reach, perhaps from the snakes that are draped over it.

One of the snakes attempts to lash out at Andrelis as he approaches, but the elf is too quick and dodges out of the way. In retaliation, he stabs hard at the construct, but can't get past it's hard exterior.

Garaleth moves forward and tosses and blob of acid at it, but his blast just sizzles some vines in the room.

Yuzu then sees an opportunity! She steps up and slashes the statue! Chunks of it falls to the ground.

Then the shifter Parrameleh dashes forward to get into a better position for next round.

Effigy

Kaseem (10/10 hp)
Gareleth (15/15 hp)
Parrameleh (13/13 hp)
Tuck (11/11 hp)

Kaseem and Tuck are up!

Kaseem moves towards Yuzu and channels the power of Ra to heal her.

Channel Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 1

With the continued crap rolls this character is destined for the crap heap.

Tuck moves up to the statue, trying to get into a useful position to help out Parrameleh.

He tries to move carefully to avoid giving this... thing... a chance to hit him.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

As Kaseem channels the power of the King of the Heavens, Tuck moves into position. He barely avoids an attack by the effigy.

First, the serpent effigy bites at the shifter Parrameleh. It bites down hard on her shoulder and blood starts to pool! (16 to hit, 7 damage.)

Then it turns to the monk. Another *chomp* as it takes a chunk out of his side. (25 to hit. 5 damage. )

--------------

[u]Round 2-3[/u]

Andrelis (15/15 hp)
Yuzu (14/20 hp)

Effigy

Kaseem (10/10 hp)
Gareleth (15/15 hp)
Parrameleh (6/13 hp)
Tuck (6/11 hp)

Everyone is up!

Andrelis launches two attacks into the effigy, hoping it will move and he can gain a flank soon. Got to get this thing in position better he growls under his breath at no one in particular.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Attack 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Damage 2: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Yuzu doesn't speak-- probably because she's too busy trying to tear off a mouthful of statue.

Nodachi Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Nodachi Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Bite: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1
Ow, I bit my tongue!

She's unable to make purchase with any of the pointy things in her control.

Parrameleh steps forward, a deep growl building in her throat, and claws at the statue.

attack, flanking: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
damage (piercing, good): 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

attack, flanking: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
damage (piercing, good): 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

This seems like serious business and I would hate to lose Parrameleh so I will use my t-shirt re-roll on that low attack.

attack, flanking, re-roll GM Star: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 = 19

Channel Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Kaseem moves closer and once again presents his holy symbol and calls upon the power of Ra to heal his allies!

4/5 Channel attempts for the day used. Also using the Selective Channeling feat to not include the effigy for healing.

"Right! That's enough of that."

Tuck moves to give Andy am opening then tries to get a hold of the effigy, hoping he can restrain it.

Grapple: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
I'm going to make like Parrameleh and use a folio re-roll
Grapple with 1 GM star: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 = 27

Parrameleh exhales throatily, ”Kaseem, very good.”

Gareleth gives his fellow Half-Orc a pleased smile and nod of appreciation, perhaps because the positive energy being channeled frees up Gareleth from having to play the role of healer. And then, Hallin's dad steps forward and strikes out with his whip and then a spell.

Scorpion Whip: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 - 2 = 91d4 ⇒ 2 Slashing Damage

Acid Splash vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 6 - 2 = 231d3 ⇒ 1 And acid splash is not subject to spell resistance since it is literal conjured acid.

Oops! Should have had an additional -4 to those from cover and an additional -4 to the acid splash from doing ranged into melee. So it's a 15 vs touch AC for the acid splash. Sorry, got so caught up double checking that I had the right number for my spell combat rolls that I forgot to include those.

Andrelis moves up and slashes at it. One of his blows glances off the construct, but the other finds a crack and digs deep into it.

Yuzu angrily slashes at the construct as well, but just can't connect her attack!

Parrameleh steps up. It's her time to shine. At first, it doesn't seem like her claws did anything. But then she noticed: yes, yes it did! Solid blow to the effigy.

Kaseem channels the power of Ra. Both Yuzu and Parrameleh start to feel refreshed, their wounds slowly closing.

Tuck manages to get a hold of the construct, constricting the snake effigy.

The lastly, Garaleth goes in and blasts a chunk (a small chunk) off of the effigy's shoulder.

--------------

[u]Round 2-3[/u]

Andrelis (15/15 hp)
Yuzu (19/20 hp)

Effigy (-17 hp)

Kaseem (10/10 hp)
Gareleth (15/15 hp)
Parrameleh (11/13 hp)
Tuck (6/11 hp)

Everyone is up!

Andrelis, seeing the flank open, will attempt to get to work on the construct's weakness points. Keep it up everyone!

Attack flank: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Attack flank 2: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Sneak attack 1: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + (4) = 9
Sneak attack 2: 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + (4) = 10

Yuzu keeps up her assault!

Nodachi Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Nodachi Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Bite: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18
Crit?: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Between Yuzu and Andlreis working together, they manage to take down the serpent effigy. They here a *crack* as soon after Yuzu's bite, the construct crumbles to the ground.

Yuzu tosses her head to the side and spits a load of gravel off.

"A bite is inelegant, but true;
Nature's brutal strike will do."

She runs a dull claw beside the edge of her blade-- not to test it against her own skin, but to guide her eyes, checking for chips and cracks.

Yuzu feels glorious after her victory over the construct!

Things of interest in the room:
-Blocked stairway down
-Glowing runes
-Vines
-Other serpentine statues
-Pool
-Large, twisted statue (three serpentine men conjoined at the hip)
-Stained glass window behind above statue

Kaseem will cast Detect Magic and examine the runes, vines, and statues.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

And a Knowledge (Religion) check in case it's needed.

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

As Kaseem reads the runes, he feels entranced. Please make a DC 14 Will save or be fascinated for 1d4 ⇒ 2 rounds. . The infernal heresies carved upon the stones attempt to take hold of his mind.

Knowledge (nature) on the vines.

The other three statues in the room are similar to the construct you just defeated. They probably would have come to life, if not for their complete weathering. One or two are no more than stone legs.

Knowledge (religion) on the big statue, though Kaseem failed.

Parrameleh checks the stairs.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

”Well fought. No devil then, just their graven image.”

One look at the stairs and Parrameleh realizes that it'll take weeks, if not months, to excavate the rubble without the proper tools.

Andrelis crosses to the stained glass window, attempting to discern where the light behind it comes from.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

The stained glass is of various greens, almost to make it look like a swamp. It's too opaque to see anything through it, but he gets a sense that there's a room or something behind it....

And as he searches the room, Andrelis spots a door to the northeast. The outline of it is barely visible, but he sees it.

Wandering over to the doorway, Andrelis calls out to the others, Hey I think I found something, there might be a room behind this stained glass window... I'm not sure what any of the magic stuff in here means, or the statues, but there is definitely something here.

And he begins searching the secret door for traps...

Perception, Trapfinding: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 1 = 10

I think its clear to open, Yuzu, Tuck, Parra, does one of you want to do the honors? the elf steps to the side with a bow, drawing his primary sword again.

We need to heal up first.

Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

"Look at this, it's fascinating!

We need to heal up first.

I thought Tuck was in the range of Kaseem's channel and healed to full by it?

Sorry! Missed that somehow. Thanks for reminding me.

Andrelis finds no traps anywhere near the door.

Kaseem seems fascinated by the arcane languages on the runes, but loses interest not too long after.

Alright then, here goes nothing! Andrelis, heedless of the consequences, swings open the hidden door, and immediately takes cover in the frame of the door he revealed, allowing anyone else the opportunity to be the first into the chamber.

Yuzu will wait by the door, then help force it open (if needed).

If not, she's happy to be the one that gets filled with ancient sawblades and bolts and who-knows-what as soon as it opens.

Strength Aid: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Andrelis opens up the door and is blast by green light! But it's just light, and he's fine.

The eerie green light burns all along the walls of this laboratory. A staircase ascends to the east, and a collapsed one lies to the west. A stained-glass window looms over an operating slab where the remains of a humanoid creature lie chained to the stone. Several tablets and other strange items lie atop the various tables.

There is a large sword atop one table. It definitely is magical.

Yuzu sweeps a hand in a broad gesture to let the book-learnin' folks do their thing.

Parrameleh takes a cautious, guarding position.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Does anyone know how to read these words? Andrelis asks, peering at the text. Shrugging more to himself than anyone else, and his eyes glow blue for a moment, and he settles in to read the texts.

Cast Comprehend Languages: Elven trait- Envoy

Huh, these tablets are definitely important. It gives theory about infusing constructs with fiendish energies. Glancing at another one, This is about the war with Ancient Osirion. And lastly this is about arming constructs with weapons specially designed to work againt the Div.... Hey I wonder if that's what that sword is? he says, pointing to the magic-y looking weapon over there.

[dice=Spellcraft]1d20+6

On any skill check where Kaseem is available, he'll cast Guidance.
