[PFS/Shifty] 50: Fortune's Blight (Inactive)

Game Master Nik B.

Stepping up, Walla lunges at the ghost. Rapier: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34 Magic Piercing damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

GM, it is possible to swift action before falling, right? Between attacking and dropping again? If yes, fox will 10ft away, 10ft back running start, jump 5ft up, swift vanish trick after biting, then move away invisible. If not, then just move away.

I think at that point we're probably getting a bit too involved - move action jump, standard action attack during which point you are then falling (involuntary movement) and the AoO occurs as you move out of the square (the triggering action)

Fox moves away as Walla steps in and stabs.

The ghost casts something...
Defensive 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
...and disappears.

Do spiritual weapons follow their target even if they are invisible? ;-)

Toral delays.

"What happened!?"

The spell description suggests it is a magical effect that continues until you redirect onto another foe. So it still 'works' but as it is an attack roll it is still subject to a miss chance.

The short swords made of force attack the invisible incorporeal creature again!

First Wis +8, BAB +6, round 3/7: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 171d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 30

Second Wis +8, BAB +6, round 2/7: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 271d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 32

GM, would that allow the others to pinpoint the square of the ghost as the force swords move with the hag?

Though they both missed you could guess where they may have been targeting I suppose - that spell is very vague in these circumstances - I've indicated where you think she might be

Not sure about rough terrain
Orst will move north [need movement help, so please move me[/ooc] 10 and channel again to harm undead.
"Iomadae, rid us of this abomination of undeath."
channel dmage dc17: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 1, 3) = 12

"Can't get to her. Can any of you? Follow the shining swords."

Walla moves deeper into the trees towards where the short swords are located.
She stabs in the same direction they attacked.

Rapier: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29 damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Lissa and Trill move forward into the trees. double move

Lissa says a word of prayer as positive energy heals her wounds.

Lay on Hands (self): 6d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1, 3, 3, 6, 6) + 4 = 25

Moved Orst already. Should be all set for the action now.

"Can you see her? I can't"

Toral had no luck bringing the swords to bear.

Orst tries channeling after following the swords.
1d20 ⇒ 16

Walla thrashes some trees, but realises the apparition is clearly flying well above her reach.

Lissa heals up...

If it is outside the medium folks' reach, it certainly is outside of mine.

The swords disappear into the treeline and warp back to Toral.

Party up

Toral waits.

"Ahh, this is awful! So can anybody see an invisible being?"

"I hate it when they do that. I was at the best part of my dream too." Orst remains ready to atk the thing should it appear. "Invisibility spells last a few minutes, right? Perhaps we should stand back to back for a while until we know she is really gone. But sooner or later we need to check the barge and its crew."

Orst stays ready to attack. Looking around, he tries to see anything in the fire light.

"I don't want to have to walk the rest of the way."

Lissa nods, "I agree. The crew should be our first priority."

Heading to the barge?

"Let's give it a few minutes, make sure the ghosty is truly gone. Then let's check the crew and barge. We don't want to endanger them by leading her to them."

Orst will keep ready to attack should the ghost reappear or attack.

the crew is with us at camp, at least most of them except a few guarding the barge, right? If not, is the barge close enough for us to hear or see trouble there? Just want to know the situation. Probably need to go as a group and check if it is far. A runner might work if it is close.

You have the captain with you at camp, most of the crew is off sleeping at the barge - the map shows the distance to the barge, you reckon if they all started a panicked yelling you'd probably hear it on this still and haunted evening...

No sure, but I think Walla and Lissa just need to explain how they will be using this pause.

"Captain, do you need us to check on your crew? We will wait slightly longer to make sure the thing is gone. Then, if you would like, I could escort you to the barge to check the crew."

Orst remains ready to strike at the spirit should it return for a few minutes. Then he will pick up his shield and help the captain should she want to check.

Toral would also return to the crew.

“I would rather sleep those unprotected. Or do we endanger the crew if we go there? Where did the ghost come from?“

GM, did the ghost just appear from the ground or from above or from where?

The ghost simply appeared out of thin air next to Lissa.

The boatman looks aghast at the whole proceeding and gestures towards the barge and his crew, the crew themselves have all taken a dive into the treeline and trying to stay clear of any trouble.

Looks like Toral and Orst staying put then?
I'll call that 1 round elapsed in conversation so far

"I know it is a ghost and all, but can you smell the thing Fox? Is it still in the area?"
Yep, Orst staying inthe area.

Lissa waits for something to happen. After a minute of quiet, she turns to check on the crew.

"I know it is a ghost and all, but can you smell the thing Fox? Is it still in the area?

Does ectoplasm have a smell?

Fox looks up at Orst's question then starts sniffing the air for 'weird smells'.

Walla keeps her rapier out as she scans the area. Looking at Toral, "she just appeared over Lissa. I hate apparitions."

"Your swords, Toral, they came back to you. She must be out of the range of your magic at least, right?" "Does not mean she could not just appear back here again."

Orst continues to scan the area.

Fox doesn't manage to catch any scent.

After about two minutes (and after the swords have faded)...

A strange fog begins to billow up around the campsite.

Map updated

Orst will pull out his ioun torch and start it revolving. He will then move to get out of the fog.

"Toral, do you have any counter for this fog." "The hag ghost must still be around somewhere."

"Hmm, let me check if this is magical!" Toral says.

Casting detect magic to see if this is magical fog.

It sure is magical...Fog cloud perhaps? Obscuring mist?

Toral immediately casts dispel magic!

cl check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

"Let me get rid of this!"

As Toral dispels the first mist, you see another rise over the ferry, concealing it from sight - the panicked cries of boatmen call from the treeline and you hear the odd splash in the water as some try swimming to safety.

"No! I only had one spell to dispel. It is in the middle of night, let me make it brighter!" Toral says and immediately casts a daylight spell to make it bright!

He also casts heroism on himself!

Lissa casts detect evil and looks toward the mist.

The mist is rather thick obscuring the boat and the end of the pathway, and is well beyond Detect Evil range (60') per map, you could always move closer - you are all still at the campfire site

Walla moves back to the campfire. "I'm good to move closer to the barge."

Orst cuts across the area between the trails to start back to the boat.
"I think we should check out the boat. It might be a ploy to separate us. keep looking, she has to be here."
Double moves using 35'
perception (cursed -1): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7

You all struggle to see much at all in the poor light, the presence of fog, and trying to look through a treeline. It is all a confused mess.

The mist is rather thick obscuring the boat and the end of the pathway, and is well beyond Detect Evil range (60') per map, you could always move closer - you are all still at the campfire site

Lissa had started moving toward the docks a minute before the screaming started

After a minute of quiet, she turns to check on the crew.

Lissa concentrates on the area, trying to identify any auras of evil.

"If anyone spots her just call out. We need to end this."

You all hear a bloodcurdling cry of horror in the mist that cuts short - as though someone just met a gruesome end in there!

Map updated

Orst, not in his armor, moves better. Sword and shield in hand, he races up the path to get beside Lissa.
"She must be in there somewhere." Orst's ioun torch adding light to the area, He looks around again.
perception -curse: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7
"Crew, if you are in the fog and can safely leave it, do so. If not hide."
Double move

Fox darts after Orst, halting when it is next to Elissa and Orst's position.

Everyone is confused Toral thinks.

”I have no idea what to do!!!“ he says trying to follow the sound.

perception to know the direction of the cry : 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (10) + 21 = 31

Toral can tell where the cry came from - in a general sense, but also swears he heard something being cast way above him in the darkness moments before the grasses and shrubs sprang to life!

Cry area marked on map

Entangle on the shaded area, at present that hits everyone, DC12 Reflex or be Entangled

Toral has heard the enemy (80' above him) so we're back in combat
