"Who by the wha... Grrrgh!"
Hunter will try to disable the next vat given the last person failed
|
Fortunately the vat containing the Nightmare Jorlyn is disabled before it can break out and join the fray.
Something strange seems to be happening to the Catastrophe.
Zar-kaweeb takes a guarded step back and looks over to the Catastrophe with a grin Welcome back Forty-Four he says.
He then lets loose a Phantasmal Web affecting Zurnazi and Aaog-Shagga.
((Will DC 21 to disbelieve))
His Nightmare Creature burns those two as well. ref DC 15 for half.
The Catastrophe is up.
Falth howls, a sound that belongs more in the throat of a demon. As he does, a huge ring of storm clouds appears on the ceiling, and thunder peals. A bolt of lightning comes down and strikes Kar Zaweeb.
(Reflex DC 17 half)
He then turns to the nearest undamaged container and focuses his shriek, unleashing a wave of destructive sonic energy.
, Will DC 15 negates.
[ooc]My sheet doesn't say how long invoking deadly weather takes. If I still have my standard, Falth fires a shot at Kar Zaweeb as well.

Kar-Zaweeb dodges some of the blast (KZ: -20)
His Nightmare creatures screams in pain which deals damage to the Catastrophe ((DC 13 fort or be staggered))
Aaog-Shagga completely ignores the Phantasmal Web and launches Magic Missiles at Kar-Zaweeb before moving in again
With all the vats dealt to, Rataji moves into the other room and also fires magic missiles at Kar-Zaweeb
((KZ: -45))
Everyone, but Rataji and the Catastrophe, are up.
Eramay moves forward!
Lilia takes a double move and begins closing distance with the strange monster.

With nothing more to do in that room, the Hunter double moves moves into the next room.
Kar Zaweeb takes a 5 ft step from Aaog-Shaaga and tries another Mind Thrust.
The Mind Trust bounces off Aaog-Shagga's spell resistance (SR:18)
The Nightmare Creature continues burning Aaog-Shagga an Zurnazi.
ref DC 15 for half.
(previous round)
((AS: -34)
The Catastrophe is up.
The Catastrophe's storm turns to snow, making all terrain in its radius difficult.
If that is not his single action, he also looses an arrow at Zaweeb.
The half elf takes out a scroll of bulls strength and casts it on herself.
The Professional moves 60’ more feet towards that awful strange creature currently threatening the group.

The Hunter double moves again to get a good firing position.
Kar Zaweeb takes a 5 ft step from Aaog-Shaaga and tries another Mind Thrust. One has to get through sometime.
And finally, one gets in (SR:18)
The Nightmare Creature continues burning Aaog-Shagga and Zurnazi.
ref DC 15 for half.
((AS: -62) Aaog-Shagga is looking near death
The Catastrophe is up.
More lightning erupts from the storm at Zaweeb.
(Reflex DC 17 half)
He then follows up with a pair of arrows at the same target. (Unless the storm drops him, in which case he moves 30 feet northeast and fires just the first shot at the nightmare creature.)
Falth then seems to calm, confused about what just happened.
|
|
Only one shot hits (KZ :-89)
Again the Nightmare creature screams at the Catastrophe
((DC 13 fort or be staggered))
Again both Rataji and Aaog-Shaaga launch more magic missiles at Kar-Zaweeb
This barrage kills Kar Zaweeb who falls to the floor. The Nightmare Creature, being a psychic manifestation, also dies. Aaog-Shagga immediately flies down and sucks out Kar Zaweeb's brain.
--- Combat Over ---
This large laboratory contains more records, strange specimens, financial documents that confirms this lab’s funding came from the Consortium, and correspondence between the lead researcher and Professor Kramolag, who appears to live along the Nidalese coast. The mutant’s electrum Aspis Consortium badge is especially troubling, for there’s no record of such badges existing or fitting anywhere in the organization’s hierarchy. Only some of the documents begin to identify the badge’s affiliation: an operation referred to only as “Conference Z.”
However, there is little time to gather evidence as the entire complex goes into self-destruct mode. It is time to leave.
The Professional knew when the mission was done and it was self preservation time. She immediately began heading for the exit, after being sure the Apsis badge was plucked from the corpse and safely stowed.
The loyalist immediately gathered as much evidence as possible and started to retreat to save her life!!!

There is just enough time to grab all the evidence before you have to flee. Aaog-Shagga, the neh-thalggu, explains that although gratitude is a foreign concept and debt to Golarion’s feeble inhabitants would be anathema, it has determined that it hates them least among the other indigenous life forms of this backward planet. The aberration then flies off to pursue its own agenda.
Your return trip seems uneventful until you cross into Cheliax. Within an hour, a team of Aspis operatives led by a finely dressed Garundi agent named Amersanus Valacosti. He informs you that his team is to escort you all back to Ostenso for debriefing and that you are to speak of nothing that you saw to anyone except Iaovin Ratarion.
As you approach the Aspis Building, members of Valacosti’s team teleport you directly into the Aspis Building and shepherd them to the Hall of Blades. Ratarion snidely debriefs you, asking probing questions and repeatedly reminding you all that what you discovered is to be kept completely confidential—even with regards to high-ranking members of the Consortium. For your service and compliance, he also assures you that you will be paid in full for your work, whether that’s in gold, favours, or the tearing up of pending bounties.
Elmeray is content.
”It was truly a dangerous! And there is a lot going on that we obviously did not know about! But we now have the opportunity to take out these rogue agents! And I am willing to be part of any mission that’s eradicates the roots of this organization!“ she says.
Once they are a safe distance from the compound, Falth takes a moment to stare at the wreckage they left. One day, I will not just be valuable for my accidents.
