Hmm's PFS 3-99: Fate in the Future [Nostalgia Con] (Inactive)

Game Master Hmm

Sideon moves forward against the onslaught and tries to identify these creatures...

...but these exotic furry vermin are like nothing he has seen before!

Opportune back stab should an ally hit one of these wormy enemies!

+1 striking ghost touch cold iron dagger: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 33 for piercing: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (2, 3) + 6 = 11

Greezgux and Sideon both move up in preparation for an onslaught of hostile furry worms!

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

The worms chitter and then each one double moves. They begin burrowing to you through the snow and ice, sending icy slush spraying in all directions!

Red targets Grum!

- Slide 17 -

Chulyin trudges through the snow to stand side-by-side with his jaguar companion. "Let's see how they like fire?" He sketches an eldritch sign in the air with his staff and says, "Bidh teas an t-samhraidh a’ lasadh teine!" Flames erupt from his staff and wash over some of the worms (purple 2 and yellow 4).

"Now strike," he commands the cat.

Cast (V/S): burning hands, Command

Fire (Basic Reflex DC 25): 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10

The jaguar snarls as the bergworm's frigid mucous hisses and steams against his hide. He bites back in retaliation and swipes with his forepaw.

Strike, Strike

◆ Jaws: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
Piercing: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 4) + 3 = 12 + Fire: 1 = 1

◆ Claw (agile): 1d20 + 13 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 13 - 4 = 29
Piercing: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1) + 3 = 6 + Fire: 1 = 1

EDIT: Removed precision damage since nobody is flanking and the worms presumably are not flat-footed on the ice.

Patrick will also try to identify them ((Nature +12)) as a first action.

Chulyin tests the theory of how much these furry worms like fire.

Purple Reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16
Yellow Reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

"Skrrrrriiieeeeeek!"

From the way the creatures shriek and blister, it's clear that they don't like it at all!

Then the flaming jaguar attacks, with a strike and a critical hit, each time the flames burning away more of the Yellow worm. Alas, this is a battle of elemental opposites, and the jaguar discovers that they creatures have hides studded with icicles.

The jaguar needs to give me two Reflex saves.

Lastly, Patrick spends a moment reflecting on what he has seen so far.

Alas, he doesn't know much beyond what Chulyin and his jaguar have already discovered: the worms deal cold damage, hate fire and have sharp icicles protruding from their hide that can hurt those who engage them in close melee.

The jaguar manages to see the danger in time to strike in the least protected areas.

Patrick, not carrying fire spells, as he detests collateral damage, spends his remaining actions electric arcing red and yellow

electricity: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2, 3, 1) + 4 = 11 DC 25 basic reflex.

Grum enters his rage and swings at red.

Then Grum power attacks and crits Red! Red opens its mouth and shrieks.

"Skriiiiiieeek!"

Grum, can you also give me a Reflex save to see if you take damage from the creature's icicle hide?

reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Grum is unable to avoid the icicle.

Grum discovers that the hide is sharp, but takes minimal damage from it.

Greezgux pops the juicy icicle-studded Yellow into his mouth and chomps twice, eliminating Yellow.

Meanwhile Sideon sneak attacks Purple. All of his attacks land!

Greezgux and Sideon, each of you please give me two DC 19 Reflex saves or take the damage below from the creature's icicle hide!

Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

The jaws clamp down and grab Greezgux! It then takes an action to just gnaw on Greezgux. Yum, yum!
Gnaw Piecing Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 1

A creature that takes cold damage in this way is clumsy 1 until it receives any kind or amount of healing.

Red makes a frantic attempt to attack Grum, and misses three times.

Grum, your opponent died. It is two strides (one over ice and requiring a Reflex save to stay up) to get to the next opponent.) Feel free to redo your actions, if you are still awake.

Between this round and last of gluttony, Greezgux recovers most of his hit points lost to Purple as he chows down on the yummy, yummy worm. Although his first bite missed, his second bite connects with the creature, enabling Sideon's opportune strike to finish it off!

Electric Basic Reflex DC 25: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 = 10

The jaguar bounds through the snow, leaving puffs of steam with each jump, passes under Greezgux's giant legs, and comes to rest beside Sideon.

I am using the attack that Grum rolled, but without the last D12 from power attack.

Attack: 12 + 16 = 28
Magical Slashing Damage (no PA): 9 + 4 + 12 = 25

Working in tandem, the party finishes off the worms!

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

"Felise! Where are you?" The voice emanates from a glowing purple crack in the ice walls.

Chulyin, Patrick and Greezgux all think that the voice is coming from a minor time rift associated with the Dimension of Time.

Sideon recalls a ritual involving time warps that involves a jump to the left and a step to the right, but then he cannot remember how to proceed from there.

Left unchecked, the time rift would grow.

You can attempt an Arcana, Nature, Occultism, Religion, or Thievery check to coax the rift to close, but failed attempts will cause you damage as you get some temporal backlash. Who would like to try?

Nature (M): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27

"I believe that if you force the ley energies flowing here to intersect at the proper angle..."

As well as that, there is also reversing the polarity of the thaumic flow Patrick continues.

I am NOT putting my hands on my hips and doing a pelvic thrust he thinks to himself. That is just .... unseemly

arcane: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30

Working together, Patrick and Chulyin close the temporal rift!

Time Success!

After you have taken your time to heal up and refocus, you report this to Ashasar. The Suli druid raises his brows. "There have been reports of temporal rifts all over this complex." He holds up an apparatus that is made from humming gems and copper wires, frowning as he takes notes on how it spins. Ashasar gestures down a red stone hallway. “Speaking of time rifts.... I'm detecting planar anomalies ahead. It might be the focus. Investigate please. I've a number of other anomalies to assess.”

Following Ashasar's directions, the party feels time stretch and slow as they head down the hallway. Soon, moving feels like attempting to push through molasses or tar.

"Arrroooooooooo!"

You hear the distant baying of hounds, then voices shouting. “They're coming, run!” and later, “No! Hold onto me! Don't let... No!”

As Grum pushes his way ahead, he feels time distort along the hallway, feeling like sludge. Abruptly, the weight of years press down upon him!

Time Press (Bludgeoning Damage: 4d10 + 18 ⇒ (8, 10, 1, 4) + 18 = 41
DC 25 Basic Fortitude Save -- if you crit fail you are Slowed 1 for 4 Rounds

Sideon belatedly realizes that the distorted temporal energy in this hallway has turned into a trap that will snap on every member of the party who enters the hall. It can be disabled with Thievery or a Dispel Magic.

What do you do? The anomaly that Ashasar wants you to investigate is still ahead.

Sideon attempts a few mystical gestures at the right moments to disturb the temporal energy.

Thievery: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27

Patrick takes ten minutes to swap out a See Invisible for a Dispel Magic before casting it (assuming Sideon didn't already take it out)

counteract check: 1d20 + 7 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 6 + 4 = 34 (Master+int)

Sideon feels the temporal energy in the hallway untangle and dissipate. It becomes easier for all of you to move forward again, though Grum will still have to deal with the results of his Fortitude Save.

Patrick can save his spell.

- SLIDE 18 -

You enter a stone chamber with tall red pillars, some of which have collapsed. Multiple paths lead out of this room, and a massive purple gash covers the distant wall. As you approach the purple gash, you feel time slow again. This must be a time rift and the source of the anomaly Ashasar detected.

During this encounter, all creatures are slowed 1 until this time rift is closed.

An insectile humanoid dressed in strange clothes leaps through the time rift. He looks at you in confusion. "Wait... Who are you guys? I thought I was ahead of--" Laser beams strike the stranger in the back, killing him. He falls to the ground, smoke coming out of his back. A moment later, strange robots pour out of the time rift and attack the party. They call out, “Intruder alert! Depart at once or be destroyed."

Identifying the Robots is an Arcana, Crafting or Specific Lore check.

Patrick will therefore keep the Dispel Magic for a later time. Can he use it to close this one?

This time rift is a skill check -- just like the one in the area with the worms. Unfortunately, it lies behind the robots!

Being slowed sucks!

Sideon spends one of his two actions to identify the Robots!

"These robots have a weakness to electricity. It's a good time for those Electric Arcs." He leans around the pillar and flings a dagger at the robots, hoping that it will entice them to come closer.

Ranged dagger: 1d20 + 16 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 16 - 1 = 27 for piercing: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 plus Sneak Attack: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7

Despite the cover, the dagger actually hits, though not all of Sideon's damage goes through.

★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

"Targets have not fled and are resisting. Terminate them!" The robots open up with ranged attacks of their own, but they are also slowed.

Blue fires twice at Sideon, but only hits once.

Laser beam: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19

"Go! Hold the blue one still," Chulyin instructs his companion. He then invokes the lightning, "Tha mi a 'gairm air an tàirneanach!" The electricity arcs between the red (#3) and blue (#2) constructs.

Command, Cast (V/S): electric arc

Electricity (Basic Reflex DC 25): 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 = 9

The fiery jaguar, nonplussed by the fire beam, darts around the columns, ready to pounce upon the blue (#2) construct.

Stride

Exterminate! Exterminate!

Not wishing to be terminated, or exterminated, Patrick also electric arcs red and blue.

electricity: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 4) + 4 = 14 DC 25 reflex.

Zzzzzot!

Not having the actions for the command, Chulyin simply casts Electric Arc on Red and Blue. Patrick does the same.

I think that Chulyin owes me another 2 dice on his Electric Arc...

Blue Reflex 2: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Some of the energy is prevented by the robot's hardness, but the stuff that gets through seems to spark and do serious damage to the Robots.

Meanwhile, the jaguar reminds the robots (and the GM) that it is immune to fire. It moves straight up to the Blue robot, practically taunting it.

"Dratted robots. We're trying to close the rift!"

Speaking of which...Sideon strides across the room to attempt to right the time anomoly.

I'm assuming it's a 2-action deactivate, but in case you need to bot me:
Arcane: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18
Arcane (Hero Point): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

magical slashing: 3d12 + 6 ⇒ (9, 1, 2) + 6 = 18

Greezgux is confused by the sudden appearance of such strange and abnormal creatures. "What are these things?" Spitting on the ground the thick sludge trails across the ground as if it has a life all its own. It trails along to the center robot as the dark spittle enlarges and clamps around the center construct, sapping its life.

The small Mosquito Witch Doll wakes back up and sits up out of the pack. One of the explosive beads of fireball are lodged in its mouth. As Greezgux moves around the small orb dislodges and activates the orb.

Vampiric Maiden Damage (Piercing): 4d4 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 4) = 16
Vampiric Maiden Damage (Negative): 4d4 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 1) = 5
DC 26 Fort Save; Results in the link below. Greezgux will gain temp HP equal to the amount of negative damage.

◆◆ Vampiric Maiden
◆ Stride
◆ Mosquito Witch (Independent) Detach small bead from necklace of Fireballs II and activate it.

Sideon moves forward towards the rift, but cannot close it. Grum fails his Fortitude save and takes a lot of damage. Then he makes a sudden charge, and does more damage to Blue, though all of it does not go through.

Greezgux casts his vampiric maiden spell but does not stride, as he does not have the actions for it. Meanwhile, his familiar activates the Necklace of Fireballs II.

Blue's Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30

Blue takes half damage from the spell, and Greezgux gets back a couple hit points.

Unfortunately, being this close to the rift, time loops on itself, and he aims for a place where Sideon was moments before.

Green shoots laser beams at the two casters who were causing electricity damage!

The first shot at Chulyin, and the second at Patrick.

Lasers: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29
Fire: 2d10 + 3 ⇒ (10, 2) + 3 = 15

Fire: 2d10 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1) + 3 = 7

Blue uses its fists on Grum and the Jaguar!

Fist: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36
Bludgeoning Damage: 2d10 + 8 ⇒ (6, 8) + 8 = 22

Ouch, that's a crit!

magical slashing, power attack: 3d12 + 6 ⇒ (10, 4, 5) + 6 = 25

"Bidh solas ag ùrachadh cearcall na beatha!" Chulyin says as he aims his snake-headed staff at Grum.

◆ Jaws: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
Piercing: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3) + 3 = 7 + Fire: 1 = 1

Chulyin provides Grum some much needed healing! Unfortunately, both Grum and the Jaguar are having trouble resisting the loop time effect, and their attacks completely miss Blue!

Blue poses, pumping metal fists in the air and says in a robotic voice, "I AM INVINCIBLE. THESE UNRULY ORGANICS WILL SOON BE TERMINATED!"
