Kn. Arcana (DC 13): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
"Ooooh, caryatid columns! They'll break your weapons if you aren't careful and they're immune to most magics...unless you got transmutation stuff like Rock to Mud," Nina warns.
Everyone feel free to read all of the knowledge spoilers in the GM's post.
Realizing that they may need to rely more on Tiddles and even Inky for dealing with the columns, the little gnome conjures hastening magics for several in the group!
______________
Nina casts Haste and she should be able to tag everyone.
Incandescence

"Ugh...you mean your fancy-schmancy weapon'll snap if you hit 'em too many times? Dang," Inky grumbles. As the hastening spell takes hold, the eidolon considers her options.
"Alrighty...Tiddles! If you can fit up here, show us what you can do," Inky calls out as she falls back, trying to either make room for Tiddles or perhaps see if the columns will take the bait and follow out to where there's more room to fight.

Aeliah

Round #2: AC 22, longstrider, haste (1/8), SNA V (1/10); Tiddles AC 29, haste (1/8)
The druidess turns to the archer extraordinaire. “Daedîn, Aeliah ‘sume you got tricksies ‘void soft cover, yes?”
“Her gonna summon meat shields, while you pick statues off. You want her spot, just say. Us swap.”
How many critters + superior summons: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Aeliah steps back 5 feet and spontaneously converts fire snake into SNA V to summon a pair of augmented pteranodons to impede the progress of the caryatid columns.
She also conducts a brief totemic transformation ritual into saurian form, choosing hard scales as her guiding focus. (move)
Brown augmented pteranodon bite on Black: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 = 15
damage: 2d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 + 2 = 12
Yellow augmented pteranodon bite on Blue: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 2 = 22
damage: 2d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 + 2 = 14
“Tiddles attack statue closest momma!”
A hasted Tiddles rushes to obey.
Tiddles tail + power attack + haste on Black: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 11 - 2 + 1 = 26
damage: 3d8 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (4, 8, 2) + 7 + 4 = 25
Trip attempt if it hits, does not provoke: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
| GM supervillan |
Nina's Haste spell cannot target Aeliah and Daedîn, she does not have line of effect to them.
Tiddles is currently occupying Thoriel's space, but Thoriel gets to act before the big ole dinosaur so as long as she is elsewhere that's ok. Tiddles does have 10' reach, if Aeliah wants to adjust his position.
I will resolve all round 1 actions before any from round 2, so Tiddles will be delayed to the top of round 2 in order to receive Aeliah's instructions.

Teric Cain
|
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Teric flies back down in time to hear about the columns and witness Aeliah bring some new friends in. "Well, that's one way of finding good help." The mage holds his spells realizing they might not be useful.
I think Teric might be a bystander in this fight based on the golem immunities.
Daedîn
|
Since I'm directly diagonal to red, I'm assuming I have LOS...
From the shadows, Daedîn nods to Aeliah and unleashes a barrage of arrows at the red statue...
To hit: Base/Dex, Weapon Focus, Magic, PBS, Rapid Shot, Manyshot, Deadly Aim, Precise Shot, Deadeye Bowman

Thoriel Liltamael
|
"I'm not keen on wasting my time, energy and weapons on these things if we can help it. Shall we try and outrun them upstairs...or at least check out what's up there first?" Thoriel, with her usually impressive speed, dances up the intervening flights of stairs to do exactly that.
Using Spell Dance and base movement of 60' to double move up to top floor.
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
| GM supervillan |
Thoriel dashes to the top level of the ziggurat. To the east of the structure a platform of some sort leads into the darkness. She sees nothing moving, but to the south east she hears a voice.
Pai gains a little altitude.
Nina hastens your steps. As noted above, Aeliah and Daedîn are out of line of effect.
Aeliah conjures saurian allies...
The two pteranodons strike at the oncoming statues, and Tiddles' thagomizer sweeps one of them off its stony feet.
Daedîn destroys a statue, even though his arrows shatter on impact. Costs you 3 arrows (sneak attack only applies to the first). Durable arrows don't get increased hardness, surprisingly.
Teric returns to keep an eye on things.
The prone statue stands... Provokes an AoO from Tiddles and from Red Pteradon - I'll roll an attack if it survives!
white statue vs Tiddles: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
blue statue vs Yellow pteradon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
The remaining statues attack the saurian allies, but thick hide and bony back-plate are enough to turn their stone blades.

I'm going to assume Black survives.
Aeliah

Round #3: AC 21, longstrider, SNA V (2/10), life bubble (10 hours); Tiddles AC 29, haste (2/8)
With Black down, the Red Pteranodon squeezes through the doorway to go after the White statue.
Movement provokes from White, AC -4 for squeezing, means Red AC 12
Red augmented pteranodon bite on White + flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 + 2 = 13

Aeliah ✨casts life bubble and touches Daedîn and herself.
(Duration: 10 hours each)
She then draws a potion of fly.
“Tiddles, keep attack statues!”
Tiddles tail + power attack + haste + flank: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 11 - 2 + 1 + 2 = 28

Teric Cain
|
Teric flies up to help the gorgeous elf, once again admiring her backside as she hustles into the top level. He turns and conjures three balls of light into one of the corridors south of him, hoping to see inside the structure better.
Dancing Lights where the sunburst icon is.
Incandescence

Upon seeing Thoriel, Teric, and Pai fly upward to the next level, Inky bares her teeth a bit.
"Hey Nina, what you want we should do? Head up or stay here and watch the rest of the show?"
______________
Inky will Delay to see what Nina wants to do, so another post to follow...
Nina Brightspark

"Ehhh...I think maybe Aeliah and Tiddles and Daedîn have things under control down here for the moment," Nina remarks after watching the dinosaurs absolutely demolish several of the statues. "Let's fly up a little so we can see what's happening!"
The eidolon nods and begins to ascend, rising up to try and get a view of the second floor.
| GM supervillan |
Adjusted the initiative tracker, since some at the end of round 2 followed Teric's round 3 movement.
white AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
threat - confirm?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28crit damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Red-scales gets beat on by one of the constructs as it squeezes through the ruins, and doesn't manage to return the favour.
Yellow-scales manages to bite another construct but finds that stone doesn't break easily - unless you're a two-ton stegosaurus. Tiddles destroys another construct with one sweep of his spiked tail!
Aeliah makes some elf-magic with Daedîn alone in the dark.
Teric, Nina, Inky and Pai fly up to see what Thoriel can see.
The first floor of the ziggurat shows no signs of life. On the scond floor, Teric's lights illuminate an empty platform to the south. Chanting can be heard from the south east but walls obscure the view. Below the ziggurat-citadel are black waters. At the limits of your vision, those of you at the upper level can see a platform of some sort extending to the east.
Another confusing aspect of the map - in the top left corner of the slide there's a grey 'stone' area with 'wooden' planks extending east. This is the same level of the ziggurat as the level that Thoriel, Pai and Teric are at - but you can't yet see that part of the ziggurat because of the shape of the stonework (walls).

"How are things going down there?" Thoriel turns back to the others following up behind her, just in time to catch Teric admiring her rear. "...and by down there, I mean the lower level with the statues, Teric!"
The elf then points over to the southeast. "Looks like we need to head that way...assuming of course we want to go meet this 'Chaos-that-Crawls'. And why wouldn't we? They sound like they'll be charming!"
Thoriel then pushes ahead to see what lies behind the walls obscuring their view, sword drawn at the ready just in case something pops out to attack.
Move, with readied attack should she encounter something on the way.
Daedîn
|
Wincing as he watches his expensive arrows shatter, Daedîn quickly moves to get LOS on the blue statue and fires...

Teric Cain

"Yes, yes. I believe Daedîn and Aeliah are making quick work of things. I only hope Tiddles doesn't knock down any support columns." Teric replies, not actually making eye contact with her. "The others are coming up too. Just don't get too far out in front of us."
| GM supervillan |
Daedîn manoeuvres and squeezes an arrow through the narrow gap between wall and dinosaur to strike the last construct, but it's not enough to destroy it.
Thoriel comes face to face with a morlock! But unlike the morlocks that you've encountered thus far, this one wears more than a loincloth. She has studded leather armour and an elaborate headdress. Once, the headdress must have held many jewels, but now the sockets where they were placed are empty.
The morlock steps back - protecting the long wooden platform that reaches out into the cove behind her.
"Մեծ մայր, մեծ մայր, ոչնչացրու իմ թշնամիներին և ընդունիր իմ առաջարկը:"
Suddenly, in response to the morlocks' chant, a pillar of flame engulfs Thoriel.
divine/fire damage: 9d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1, 5, 4) = 25 DC19 Reflex for half.
Menwhile, below, the last construct swings a stone sword at one of the pteranodons.

Please disregard the purple M on the map, it could not be stripped from the pdf and indicates the morlock's starting position after her leap.
Teric Cain
|
Teric flies into the chamber looking across the open gap to where Thoriel faces off with the morlock. He sees her engulf Thoriel in a fiery spell and motion with his hand. A word of power later and an icy plane coalesces behind the morlock on the platform, blocking her from retreating.
Cast Wall of Ice

Pai casts Black Tentacles, trying to harry the enemy spellcaster and keep thise nasty fire spells away from the group.

Daedîn murmurs, ”Damnation, these things are ruining my arrows,” as he moves 5’ south and launches more of the same at blue…

Round #4: AC 21, longstrider, SNA V (3/10), life bubble (10 hours); Tiddles AC 29, haste (3/8)
“Daedîn, me know it bit late – but Aeliah think statues are distraction, while morlock does summoning ➙ bring Heavy Hitter fight for it.”
“Her thinks need get you up top. Support others with arrows. Leave Aeliah critters to mop up statues. Get you to real fight!”
Aeliah hustles 20’ to the south and ✨casts fly on Daedîn. (lasts 10 minutes)
With the gnome dragoon and her mount flying beside the Ziggurat’s second tier, a hasted Tiddles has an obvious path up the stairs to join them.
Aeliah calls, “Tiddles! Seek Inky and Nina.”
Yellow-scales takes another peck at Blue. While Big Red waits for instructions from a Totemically Transformed Aeliah.
Yellow augmented pteranodon bite on Blue: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 = 16

| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Hearing Aeliah's call, Nina waves at Tiddles as he comes trundling up to the stairs to the ziggurat's second level.
"Hey Tiddles! Come on, follow us! Inky, take us up to the top!"
The eidolon obliges, flying further upward until the pair catches sight of Teric, Pai, and Thoriel again.
Spellcraft (DC 19): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
"Oh! Someone busted out the Black Tentacles, huh? Hmm...take us closer Inky, just not into the tentacles!"
Inky continues to fly over the top of the ziggurat, getting about as close as she dares to the writhing mass of tentacles. When the eidolon stops, Nina begins to cast a spell...
"Time for some razzle-dazzle!"
A burst of glitter erupts, coating the morlock!
______________
Inky double-moves to current position; Nina casts Glitterdust at the morlock; DC 16 Will to avoid being blinded~
Thoriel Liltamael

REFLEX 19 (heroism): 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 12 + 2 = 33
Thoriel gracefully spins out of the way of the worst of the fire, but doesn't escape completely unscathed. "OW! That was rude. You've singed the ends of my hair, not to mention ruined a nice cloak."
Blocked for the moment by the tentacles from getting too close to the morlock, the magus instead conjures up some mirror images of herself to boost her defenses.
Mirror Images: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
| GM supervillan |
Daedîn finishes off the last construct. Costs you three more destroyed arrows, including the one you fired last round.
Teric blocks the morlock's escape with a Wall of Ice. The creature looks over her shoulder, then back at the Trade Prince. And she grins - a horrible, insane grin.
Pai flies higher, to get a view of the struggle. In the dim lights of her colleagues' magic she sees the morlock, and conjures Black Tentacles around the degenerate. They fail to impede her, and she laughs.
Tiddles goes in search of Nina and Inky but finds that the pair have flown away - at least, they've flown higher. Aeliah does more elf-magic with Daedîn and her two pteranodons look on.
Will DC16: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
Though she doesn't like the shiny glitter, the morlock avoids getting it all over her large, white eyes.
Thoriel, singed by the flames, protects herself with a Mirror Image spell.
The morlock chants again.
"મહાન માતા, મહાન માતા, આ બેવફાઓને તમારી શાણપણ બતાવો"

"Whatever that was, it didn't work!" Nina hollers at the wily morlock. "Inky, keep us in the air and out of those tentacles, okay?"
With charging into the fray off the table for the moment, she tries to pelt the morlock with a conjured snowball!

Teric is horrified at the morlock's insane grin. "Right. If you need something to play with, let's give you something to play with..." He makes a complex sigil in the air and then a swarm of monkeys floods the area. While many are caught by the mass of black tentacles, it doesn't stop them from tearing at the morlock.
"Take that headpiece from her, please," Teric asks. The monkeys do their best to tear it off her head.
Mad Monkeys!
Swarm damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8
Steal Headpiece vs CMD: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

Round #5: AC 21, longstrider, SNA V (4/10), life bubble (10 hours); Tiddles AC 29, haste (4/8)
”Thank you, m’Lady,”
“Get some, Daedîn!”
Aeliah ✨casts speak with animals (reptiles & dinos only) and moves 30 feet out into the open to check up on Tiddles and see how goeth the battle.
Unable to see anyone except her stegosaurus, she decides to check him rather than let him lumber into a morlocky situation he can’t extricate himself from.
“Tiddles, Down!”
The druidess then calls back to the Pteranodons, translating for her companions so they know what she’s got in mind.
“Yella Fella, Big Red, get outside quick. Then go flying to top of two-leg construct and attack any degenerate, big-eyes two-leg or unnatural thing that not cat with wings. (Sorry, Inky).”
Both Pteranodons double-waddle a total of 10’ to the west as they squeeze/cope with hindered terrain.
| GM supervillan |
As noted earlier Aeliah and Daedîn are not Hasted.
Sometimes in the higher tiers odd things happen. The morlock didn't cast a Confusion spell, she triggered a Domain power that creates an Aura of Confusion. Daedîn just flew into that Aura. It will also effect the monkey swarm because it's not targeted at individuals - though the swarm doesn't arrive until just before Teric's next turn because Monkey Swarm is a 1 round casting time. The Aura is a supernatural effect, but I will allow saving throw bonuses against Enchantment.
Thoriel whacks herself instead of the morlock.
Nina and Inky hover in place and Nina hurls a snowball, but the mass of tentacles throw off her aim.
Daedîn Will DC18: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 = 19
Daedîn stays in control and looses an arrow, striking the morlock. You're flying 10' above the upper level, giving you line of sight.
t: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27
Teric chastises the morlock and begins a spell...
Aeliah directs the dinos and follows Tiddles.
Pai hurls magic missiles, to good effect.
"મહાન માતા, મહાન માતા, તેમની શક્તિના આ કાફરોને લૂંટો!"
jump: 1d20 + 16 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 16 + 4 = 30
The morlock chants, her hand is wreathed in dark energy, and she leaps out of the tentacles, straight at Daedîn.
touch attack, leap, buffs: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 13 + 2 + 3 = 33
The dark energy wreathes the elven archer for a moment, and the morlock lands on her feet on top of the crumbling wall next to Daedîn.
Daedîn attempt a DC19 Will save (vs necromancy).
Teric feels a wave of powerful but unintelligible thought intrude upon him as he concentrates on his conjuration...
Teric you are within the morlock's aura now - attempt a DC18 Will save or become Confused. If you fail the save, what happens to the Mad Monkeys will depend on your d100 roll.

My bad on the casting time. If it doesn't appear until just before Teric's turn, does that mean, I can position the monkeys onto the morlock's new position? I can easily put it over her and not get Daedîn. If so, the previous rolls/checks still apply.
Will Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
Teric finishes his spell rolls his eyes at the monkeys. "Lesson learned, stick to your talents..." He flies vertically 30 feet and cups his hands in a rolling motion. Three balls of frozen lightning appear and try to slam into the morlock.
Cold Ball Lightning (Reflex DC 24 negates): 3d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 4) = 10
Cold Ball Lightning (Reflex DC 24 negates): 3d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 2) = 10
Cold Ball Lightning (Reflex DC 24 negates): 3d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 2) = 11
I'm not sure if more than 1 ball can hit her in a round. I might have used this incorrectly previously. Please adjudicate as you see fit. Either way, saves are at a -4 if she's wearing metal armor. Failing a save imparts full damage and slowed 1.
Daedîn

I’ll use my folio reroll…

Aeliah
|
Round #6: AC 21, longstrider, SNA V (5/10), life bubble (10 hours); Tiddles AC 29, haste (5/8)
Aeliah speaks in reptile/dino back to the Pteranodons, repeating herself in Taldane for the benefit of her companions.
“I’ve changed my mind. Keep waddling out west into the open and wait for my next command.”
The druidess double-moves to the top tier, careful to keep her AC at her six.
“Tiddles, Heel!”
On arrival, she is surprised not to be able to see anyone.
Nina Brightspark
|
"Come on Inky, let's see if she can resist the touch of adamantine," Nina urges. The eidolon descends and touches down on the top of the ziggurat, advancing on the morlock and putting her in reach of Nina's lance.
Attack vs. Morlock (+1 Adamantine Lance; Arcane Strike, Haste, Heroism, PA): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
Damage: 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

"Did you see that jump!? These things are like overgrown, evil grasshoppers!" Inky growls, ready to defend Nina from such shenanigans.

Thoriel Liltamael

Confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 25
"Stop messing with my mind and come back here, you little monster!" Thoriel charges up her sword with a glowing blue light and rushes across to strike at the morlock.
Spellstrike. Cast Frigid Touch. Move and Attack. Haste. Heroism.
Frigid Touch via +1 Cold Iron Scimitar: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 16 + 1 = 35 Damage: 1d6 + 8 + 4d6 ⇒ (5) + 8 + (3, 3, 6, 3) = 28

Target Staggered for 1 minute.

Aeliah and Tiddles climb the outer steps of the ziggurat, but are late to the party. You can see Pai flying above you, and a glow from the south (Teric's lights), but depending on your light source the battle with the morlock probably is out of sight. There are a few walls too :)
Some benign power keeps Daedîn from suffering the wrath of the Great Mother, and he fills the morlock full of arrows. Yet she does not fall.
Teric resists the morlock's influence and summons a swarm of monkeys!
monkeys Will DC18: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
confusion: 1d100 ⇒ 10
The monkeys steal the morlock's headgear as they bite and scratch and screech.
Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
To add to the indignity, Teric hurls ball lightnings...
ref dc24: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
ref dc24: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
ref dc24: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
I don't see anything in the spell description that prevents multiple lightnings in the same square.
The morlock can only dodge one of the lightnings, and gets caught in the path of the other two just as Nina and Thoriel arrive to finish her off!
Thoriel you can keep your Frigid Touch spell if you wish, the morlock had already taken enough damage to kill her.
Although the morlock is presently covered in crazed simians, those of you close to her note that she carries a large satchel and a wand (as well as a stone club).
As the morlock falls, a loud rumble echoes through the cavern. It seemed to come from the east, out over the water.
You all note the wooden walkway beyond the tentacles. And the wall of ice.
With the death of the morlock priestess Mo'al, any Confusion effects end. I don't think that a dead creature can continue to emanate an Aura generated by a domain power.

Although there are no enemies apparent, I am keeping you in initiative. What do you do?
Pai Kromnite PFS
|
Pai stays in the air, not wanting to be near whatever is causing that blasted rumble in the cavern. ”Im just going to stay up here,” she calls out.
Daedîn
|
Not seeing any apparent threats, while staying alert, Daedîn calls out to Teric, ”Trade Prince, can you call away your monkeys so I can retrieve my arrows from the morlock’s corpse?”
Perception: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (3) + 23 = 26
Aeliah
|
Round #7: AC 21, longstrider, SNA V (6/10), life bubble (10 hours); Tiddles AC 29, haste (6/8)
“Tiddles, Defend Slick Man!”
She points out the way, and the hasted stegosaurus double-moves (squeezing at times) enthusiastically to obey.
“Sorry, Teric. ‘Slick Man’ is name Tiddles know you as.”
Aeliah then calls down to the Pteranodons, translating from reptile into Taldane, so her companions know what she’s up to.
“Yella Fella, Big Red, fly up into the airspace to the north of the high point of the northern side of two-leg tall-nest. Attack anything unnatural that is NOT a winged feline. (Sorry again, Inky)”
The winged reptiles lift off the ground to the north, double-climbing at a 45 degree angle in a straight line. (No fly check required)
🦇 ⛬
“This good time to heal and buff for whatevah headdress morlock summoned.”
Aeliah projects her voice around the corner. “Thoriel, you still want stoneskin? Otherwise, Nina Brightspark might like it.”
“But you have to meet me half-way to get spell this round.”
Aeliah moves 30 feet closer to Thoriel, Nina and Inky and readies an action to ✨cast stoneskin on Thoriel or Nina if one of them enters a square adjacent to her.
Teric Cain
|
Teric directs the monkeys over to the field of tentacles, telling them to drop the headpiece they stole too. Then he motions with his hands and the lightning balls spin out to the open middle of the areas, while the balls of glowing light approach the fallen morlock body to allow everyone to see better.
"What's in this satchel?" Teric walks over and opens it up.
Thoriel Liltamael
|
"Sure, singed hair. Stony skin. May as well go all in on my new look!" Thoriel moves to meet Aeliah.
Nina Brightspark
|
"We'll keep watch for a minute, okay? I don't like that rumbling..." Nina calls out, giving Inky a nudge with her knees. The pair ascend into the sky once more, staring out towards the water, straining to see if they can see anything...
______________
Nina & Inky will also ascend to a height of 25 ft.
