GM El Bruno's Broken Chains (Inactive)

Game Master Bruno Romero

Was there any way to grab a bucket of that milk on the way through? I mean someone has to have some way of getting it...

Gnarlpaw would be able to grab one of the buckets easily - the foul substance reeks of being spoilt, and its black uniform color is sometimes dotted with a green that seems to be pus.

muahahahahah

Akila steps a little further away from Gnarlpaw and the bucket.

The group hangs a few seconds before the entrance of the priestess' chambers, and eventually the door hangs ajar from the wind - revealing a thin gnoll priestess with her magical falchion ready, her skin glows with a shimmering light, and she declares-"You have reached the center of the lion's den, intruders. Allow me to show you how mistaken you were to step into my den."-she sees Ejtehah, and with a flourish, creates a double of herself right alongside her.

Her voice doubles in amplitude and says-"You are outnumbered, sheep."-and cackles madly.

Final Combat! Round 1
-----------------------
Awkin, Lotus, Betty, Cat
Event #1, Ukkramak
Tenibri
Event #2
Ejtehah

Awkin, Lotus, Betty and Cat are up!

Walk in, cast grease. DC 17 reflex save or fall on your tail.
Stare -2 will saves and 3 damage if you take any damage.

Ukkramak Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

The gnoll priestess fall flat on her tail, and curses-"The impostor Gnarlpaw, is it? I will keep you alive for torturing later, sheep."

"I prefer to think of it as new and improved. "

‘Akila’ moves up to the intersection and gets ready to fire her lightning bolt out of her pistol if the hallways fill with opponents.

The party, as of this moment, would normally only suspect Ukkramak to fight in this finale, seeing as she is alone in her chambers. However, Betty's intuition from hours ago pays off: she has noticed Othine, the Pathfinder you entered this dungeon with, and the demon that was tailing you earlier, are nowhere to be found.

Fearing the worst, and hearing footsteps approaching from the south hallway, Betty readies her lightning bolt.

Awkin is up!

Awkin will inspire the group while they wait.

Inspire courage: Allies receive a +2 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +2 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls.

Flagbearer: +2 morale bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, and saving throws against fear and charm effects.

Awkin's advice fills the halls, as he recites Pathfinder expeditions similar to these ones that ended in triumphant finales! Suddenly, the vigor hangs in the air as three creatures peer over the hallway, weapons at the ready. Two yaenit demons, led by Othine Dalanse, the Pathfinder you rescued, decked in heavy armor, charge at you!

The ex-pathfinder yells-"You fell for it, sheep! I am the jackal mother's kin, and I will fight to defend her always!"-but her face soon turns sour as Betty, expecting this outcome, launches a lightning right at her face! The woman just barely dodges the lightning, her arm singed from the partial hit. But the injury slowly starts healing back, her flesh tinted in unholy energy. She manages to reach Betty, but does not have enough time to follow through with an attack.

Ukkramak, on the other hand, stands up from her previous spot, and walks eerily towards the door, getting in the middle of 'Gnarlpaw' and the rest of the group. She smirks and says-"Bad idea, going in first, impostor."-the effect accentuated by her double form. Tenibri conjures up a pit below the demon's feet, and makes one of them fall and scream on his way down. He chuckles and takes a defensive position on the back corner.

Finally, the two demons cackle madly, and both of them jump into the air, instantly appearing in your midst! Their magical ability to teleport making you instantly surrounded and separated! The one that was following you earlier says-"Your luck has run out, sheep. You're outnumbered!"

Final Combat! Round 1

Othine (-10, fast healing), Ukkramak
Tenibri
Blue Yaenit (-6), Red Yaenit
Ejtehah

Final Combat! Round 2
-----------------------
Awkin, Lotus, Betty, Cat

Everyone is up! (except Tenibri)

Lotus takes a moment to center herself (so she can't fail the concentration check to cast defensively) smiles and hands Ukkramak the bucket of black milk.

"No need to fight. I brought you a gift. "

A beguiling one in fact.

Stare. DC 21 will save effectively or spend next round seeing if it does in fact do a body good...

He tears, bites and claws into the Lamashtu follower with blue clothing.

Full Attacks with crane style fighting defensively -2 to hit plus +2 competence bonus and +2 morale bonus thanks to Awkin!

Snowball to hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Cold damage: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 5, 1, 3) = 21

“Rather cold of you. Why even bother with the deception?”

"If you could take her alive that would be great. Until I poke under her skull I have no idea if she turned willingly or snaped under torture and brain washing."

“Be tough, what with the bad attitude and healin’.”

“Be tough, what with the bad attitude and healin’.”

"If it was easy I wouldn't be delegating it"

"If it was easy I wouldn't be delegating it"

Betty cocks her head to the side in thought for a moment.

“You sure? Cause seems ta’ me like you like givin’ the orders.”

“You sure? Cause seems ta’ me like you like givin’ the orders.”

"well YES but if it was easy I'd just do it and take the credit. Besides I have to get used to it if I'll be running this place don't I? "

Awkin will command blue to feel. DC: 18 Will

Ukkramak's will bends, and the alluring voice of Lotus beckons her to drink the black milk. Without a second thought, she drinks the bucket, and immediately starts throwing up. She quickly recovers, however, and curses at Lotus-"Fox-b+&**! I cannot fall by the mother's own teatmilk, for I was born in it!"

Ejtehah, however, tears into the blue-clothed demon, and quickly makes them regret jumping into the fray besides the shifter. Othine on her part takes the snowball to the chest, and she cries out in pain from the cold projectile. Othine breaks the thin ice covering her skin, and moves forward to attack Betty! She changes her prayer from defense to offense, saying-"Mother of Monsters, give me strength to smite down your foes!"-her longsword glowing in an eerie light. She plunges it deep into the gut of the gunslinger, and cackles madly as she twists the blade. (16 points of damage!)

Tenibri sees the blue-clothed demon step forward to wail on Awkin, but seeing it injured so much, decides to direct 4 magical missiles at the demon, taking it down unerringly. He yells to Awkin-"I'm running out of spells here!"- and keeps his defensive position. In the middle of the combat, the red-clothed demon decides to cast a spell on Ejtehah, trying to land a spell, but the shifter's offensive is too aggresive, and he backs into Othine's body and stumbles, losing the spell.

Everyone is up!

“I not want you all die!! Fight!!“ he shouts.

He tears, bites and claws into the Lamashtu follower with red clothing.

Full Attacks with crane style fighting defensively -2 to hit plus +2 competence bonus and +2 morale bonus thanks to Awkin!
AC 32 and CMD 30!

Bite: 1d20 + 4 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 8 = 231d8 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 4 = 11

damage: 1d10 + 2d6 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (9) + (3, 2) + 3 + 4 = 21

"Maybe your mom can kiss that and make it better for you too."

Betty takes a step back and fires at Othine. Really wish I had more gunpowder…

+1 pistol, PBS: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 1 = 28
Damage, PBS: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

Ejtehah tears into the other yaenit, but this one adeptly dodges two of the blows, and is weary of the claws that seems to tear through its demonic skin. Betty, on the other hand, takes a more distanced approach and shoots Othine right in the ear!

She screams in pain, her head ringing-"You b&$%@! I will flail you alive!"-getting ready to advance and retaliate.

@Lotus: To clarify, since Lotus is cornered, she cannot 5-foot step into a space no within Ukkramak's reach. She will provoke if she shoots. Asking just in case.

Awkin, Lotus, Betty (-16), Cat
Othine (-35, surged justice), Ukkramak
Tenibri
Red Yaenit (-27)
Ejtehah

Awkin is up! (waiting for confirmation on Lotus)

poke pokes map.

I'll attempt to tumble away then, no point in not

acrobatics: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 16 vs CMD

that will probably cost her a (well deserved) bonk to the snoot

Betty looks at Othine’s longsword and comments “Betta switch weapons then. Tough ta flail someone with a sword.”

“While yer at it, should wash yer mouth out with somma that Mother’s Milk.”

Awkin will continue to inspire and drop a bust of radiance on red and black. DC 18 Ref.

Damage: 5d4 ⇒ (1, 1, 1, 3, 2) = 8

Lotus' escape leaves her open, as Ukkramak swings, but the elusive kitsune manages to use the table to avoid it! Her falchion swings deep into the table, and with enough force she is able to pull it out. The mesmerist takes this chance and shoots a strong bolt right in her shoulderblade! Meanwhile, the in the passageway, Awkin drops a burst of blinding light on both enemies, but both of them manage to cover their eyes just in time to avoid being blinded. The holy light still sizzles their skin though!

Othine reels in pain, and advances towards Betty - this time, aiming to cut her stomach open with a thrust. The unholy energy suffusing her sword aids her aim, but her strength has left her...she collapses into the ground, and drops her longsword. The remaining yaenit, seeing this, thinks to themselves and ponders escape - doubt fills their unholy eyes, as they see Ejtehah unharmed and holding a strong, flawless stance.

They step back from the shifter, and aims their falchion at Betty - they conjure up a portal back to the Abyss inbetween them and Ejtehah, but before leaving says-"Know that I will be back for your head - this is not over!"-as they dissapear into nothingness. That leaves Ukkramak alone, who frustrated from her allies falling and escaping, roars-"Enough! I do not need them! I can finish this alone if I need to!"-pouncing on Lotus!

She jumps into the air, her double form making her attack hard to read, and plunges her falchion right through the gut of Lotus, piercing clean through! Her eyes gleam as she cackles-"Yes! Yes! More blood for the mother!"-as she starts flicking her blade and making arcs of blood around her

Final Combat! Round 3

Awkin, Lotus (-16), Betty (-16), Cat
Ukkramak

Everyone is up!

Betty puts away her pistol.

Although really not sure this is a good idea, she attempts to prevent Othine from bleeding out and dying. “How badly did ya want Othine alive? Don’t look like bleeding wants ta stop.”
Heal for First Aid: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 Failure.

Betty puts away her pistol.

Although really not sure this is a good idea, she attempts to prevent Othine from bleeding out and dying. “How badly did ya want Othine alive? Don’t look like bleeding wants ta stop.”
[dice=Heal for First Aid]d20+6 Failure.

"More than I would like her to start bleeding less than I would like her to stop bleeding me! "

Lotus is going to step back and SUGGEST that since the battle isn't going well...

"You should take your mother and get out of here. You love her. She nursed you. Take her somewhere safe before the do gooders get to her... "

Effective DC 22 will save (10 +2 level +6 kitsune +2 kitsune +2 stare) + that seems way more reasonable than stabbing the new management !

Also gets rid of that thing so I can put new carpets in when I .erm. We take over.

Ukkramak resists the suggestion spell, snarling-"That won't work on me, you honey-tongued scum!"-getting ready to attack the kitsune. Betty fails her attempt at stabilizing Othine, covering her hands in blood.

Final Combat! Round 2

Tenibri, Ejtehah

Final Combat! Round 3

Awkin, Cat, Lotus (-16), Betty (-16)
Ukkramak

Ejtehah and Awkin are up!

Awkin will send Cat in (double move). Awkin will move up and cast commman "FALL." DC 18 will.

Ejtehah moves as fast as possible.

Can you double move me yo the target please. Cannot access map.

Not sure why thats a double move but.. boop. you'll catch an aoo walking through the kitty anyway may as well flank

The group advances forward, surrounding Ukkramak! She snarls at Cat and Ejtehah, saying-"Looks like the zoo has come to play."-as she prepares to cast a spell defensively on both Ejtehah and Cat. The vanguard's pressure is too much however, and she gives up on the spell so as not to open herself up to a hit. With a click of her tongue, she backs away and reapplies her illusory double, her illusory copy mimicking her exactly and blending in with her own form.

Final Combat! Round 4
-----------------------
Awkin, Cat, Lotus (-16), Betty (-16)
Ukkramak

Everyone is up!

Still not sure this is a good idea, Betty does her best to prevent Othine from bleeding out. “Shove wad of cotton in the wound, that’ll do it.”
Heal: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Then she moves towards the sounds of battle.

Awkin will instruct Cat to attack. "Get'em."

Bite: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 321d8 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 4 = 12
Grab: 1d20 + 23 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 23 + 4 = 32
Claw: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 231d8 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 4 = 16
Claw: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 321d8 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 4 = 16

Betty stabilizes the dying Othine, while Awkin's Cat goes to town on Ukkramak. The giant tiger goes for a big bite to pin her down, but her form dissipates as if intangible - the illusory double vanishing away.

This doesn't stop Cat however from going for two big claw swings and tearing two big wounds on the gnoll priestess's chest. She screams in pain and says-"Beast! You would dare attack the servant of your mother? You will learn your place!"-to Cat. The tiger seems a bit confused, seemingly able to understand her.

Talon right : 1d20 + 4 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 8 = 171d8 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 6 = 15

Ejtehah starts his onslaught, biting off a piece of Ukkramak's leg and then slashing her left eye. She screams in pain but manages to dodge the other strikes! The priestess takes a step back and starts chanting a prayer-"Mother of Monsters, speak to their souls, chaotic at their core!"-her form doubling again in front of the shifter. She casts a spell, hoping her illusory form or agility shaves off the strike that could stop her.

Final Combat! Round 4

Awkin, Cat, Lotus (-16), Betty (-16), Ejtehah
Ukkramak

Everyone is up! Pending AoO from Ejtehah which may affect his turn, Awkin's, Cat's and Betty's

Lotus' gift of will triggers "HEY! These are MY minions get your own...."

Gift of will lets the mesmerist defend the targets mind with their will save. Bouncing trick.. well bounces it around.

Aoo Bite: 1d20 + 4 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 8 = 271d8 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 4 = 13

If it is an enchantment, Betty would have +2 to her save

Mirror Image 1 hits: 1d2 ⇒ 1
Concentration: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Ejtehah manages to stop the spell, rending a piece off Ukkramak's face! She quips-"Lost the die roll, I see. Perhaps I should switch tactics"-looking intently away from the battle and to the corner of her room.

Spell interrupted! Everyone is up! Lotus can remake her turn
Ukkramak (-42)

That was a reaction on lotus' part. It just means the gift of will is still in kitty's head

Betty looks in the direction that Ukkramak looked, trying to see if there is anything special there that the group might need to be wary of.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

save rest of my actions in case she spotted something
