[NostalgiaCon, PFS(2)] 3-99 Fate of the Future (Tier 5-6) (Inactive)

Game Master Blake's Tiger

Perhaps unaware just how close to "evisceration" he was, Knab walks Gloma and Topaz, while carrying the body of Aldrek, back to camp. Having never asked her name, nor offered his own, awkwardness replaces what might have been an appropriate goodbye, were it not forestalled by an idea: Disinterested with shopping in any case, and so otherwise unoccupied, our dwarven hero pulls out his tools and attempts to fix the broken lute...

Repair (Crafting, Trained) w/ Repair Kit vs DC 15?: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

...returning it to the fallen pathfinder's effects once he is finished. And leaving. Maybe we'll meet again...

Later on, after a short rest and resupply, the party reaches a circular chamber, and from multiple directions, Knab can here someone calling a name. Heraxia?

He investigates the pillar...

Investigate (Thievery, Expert) +12 or +13 w/ Infiltrator Tools!

Surprisingly, the purpose and function of the stone pillar escapes Knab.

After being healed, Phew thanks. and Johnny begins the climb down the pit. Or am I climbing up and the climb it above a pit?
athletics: 1d30 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

Johnny climbs down into the pit while the rest of you investigate the stone column on the platform overhanging the pit. While the column confounds most of you, Seelah notes that entire column can be rotated around its long axis if you're strong enough.

Athletics, Crafting, or Thievery DC 19 to rotate the column.

Meanwhile, down in the pit amongst the bones, Johnny determines that there are the remains of four different species down there: a large, four-armed biped, a small reptilian biped with a tail, ratfolk, and humans. He guesses that they died of starvation.

"There is an idler gear here" Knab points out "But I'm not sure that even though we can turn this pillar, that we ought to?"

He looks around the group for their thoughts. He looks ahead - is this pillar somehow blocking progress forward?

Investigating the solid stone doors, there appears to be no obvious mechanism to open them. That fact combined with the presence of the rotatable column could lead one to reasonably assume the column is used to unlock the doors.

NOTE: You do not have to open the doors. You could move on to a different part of the maze. Whatever the consensus is, I'll roll with.

Seelah stands from her examinations of the column. She looks between Johnny in the pit, and the rest of the adventuring team.

"Here's what my guts telling me. I think opening the doors may be another trap like what we found Gloma in. BUT, I think someone may be already trapped behind one of these doors..."

Seelah goes up to each of the doors and presses her ear to the stone.

"It's just a guess but if we can rescue another pathfinder we should try."

As she moves from door to door she calls out.

Hello! This is Seelah with group C3! Give us your status!?

Silence is Seelah's reply.

Silence in the form of agreement with her general sentiment!

Knab pulls out a mini lever, and with a firm grip, twists the handle clockwise, and...

Rotate Column (Thievery, Expert) w/ Infiltrator Tools (+1) vs DC 19: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 1 = 14

...slipping at first, it looks as though the gear motion is about to suck his hand inside!

So, kicking his boot against another stress point...

Hero Point!

Rotate Column (Thievery, Expert) w/ Infiltrator Tools (+1) vs DC 19: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 12 + 1 = 32

...there is a chunking sound, followed by a slow turning sound, a cranking of metal parts, followed by...

While Phillipton would like to be of assistance, pushing things around, building things, or the delicate art of burglary have never been his forte.

Yeah I got nothing to help.

Seelah will stand with her shield raised in front of Horatio prepared to take any blow they receive.

Don't worry if this goes horrible you'll be VERY helpful lol

Knab manages to get the column moving. It grinds around, and the room shudders as the doors slide open. Unfortunately, it reveals large, skeletal snakes with humanoid skulls on their necks. Worse, even more of them begin to slither up through the bones in the pit... with Johnny.

Knab wipes his brow as the mechanism opens, then suddenly notices "Johnny!" and starts sweating again...

...he looks down at his clan dagger attached to his belt, stowed momentarily while working with his Infiltrator's Tools... Quick enough to draw?

Kang considers the situation (bot delay).

The skeletal naga-like creature begins writhing and swaying, ribs moving in a hypnotic pattern.

↺) Call on Ancient Blood

Knab Will w/ Call on Ancient Blood (+1) vs Dance of Death (DC 18): 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 1 = 33

Once again giving space for his ancestors to assist him, Griss' strength surges. (Picking Positive Energy)

Fearing that the creatures could not be intimidated, Griss instead chose to strike twice, taking advantage of the friend flanking.

◆Rage

Err, can I hit 3?

Johnny pulls out his war razor agile and strikes at the skeleton snake twice hit: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18 dmg: 2d4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4, 1) + 3 + 2 = 10

deadly if I crit at all: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 1) = 9 1d8 for each crit, so only take the first d8 if I only crit once.

Oh, and they look like undead to me, so I added 2 extra damage to each attack. Unless you tell me they are devils.

Undead Slayer-Your knowledge of your own not-quite-living anatomy, combined with your experience in combat, helps you take down undead foes with ease. Against undead creatures, you gain a circumstance bonus to damage with weapons and unarmed attacks equal to the number of weapon damage dice for the Strike. This bonus increases to double the number of weapon damage dice if your target has the vampire trait.

Will DC18: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

Kang is momentarily fascinated by the hypnotic dance but quickly manages to shake it off. Mostly.

He steps away from snake just within reach, before raising his staff and starts chanting, summoning a cloud of glittering dust settling down on the furthest 3 skeletal snakes.

Step, Cast Glitterdust on 2, 4, 5
Critical Success The target is unaffected.
Success The target's invisibility is negated for 2 rounds.
Failure The target is dazzled for 1 minute and its invisibility is negated for 1 minute.
Critical Failure The target is blinded for 1 round and dazzled for 10 minutes. Its invisibility is negated for 10 minutes.

Alas. They are not undead.

Knab proves to be too stubborn to be swayed by the rhythmic motions of the bone snakes. Kang is slightly disoriented but summons a blast of glittering dust within the pit, though the angle is a bit awkward while trying to avoid Johnny.

Griss charges over to assist Seelah and slams his flail into the creature. The bludgeon proves effective at cracking bone (weakness bludgeon 5). However, the positive energy rippling around him does not seem to have any effect on the bone nagas.

Johnny draws his war razor and slices at one of the bone creatures emerging from the bones at his feet. The first strike glances off of the bone, but the second strike finds a weak point (critical).

One of the snakes slithers behind Johnny and strikes at him. The second strike manages to sink through his armor. He feels a chilling sensation seeping through his muscles. Another snake in the pit begins to dance its entrancing dance. The third attacks the potentially incapacitated dhampir.

The snake in the other doorway slithers out and strikes repeatedly at Seelah, but it cannot find a weakness in her armor.

"Johnny - these are no undead, though they were probably constructed to share some of their characteristics, including being somewhat frail: they have no mind nor metabolism!"

Translation: Immune to Mental and Sickened, Weakness 5 to Blunt, Fortitude is lowest Saving Throw!

Thinking soon, too, that Johnny won't either, he almost considers jumping into the pit with him, if another opportunity didn't suddenly present itself! Sidling between himself and the champion, Knab seizes the opportunity to study the exoskeletal structure, looking for a sheer point, and snaps his Clan Dagger bluntwise into the hairline fracture, escalating the collapse of it's structural integrity!

Clan Dagger (Versatile Blunt) w/ Sneak Attack (2d6) w/ Analyze Weakness (2d6) vs Skeletal Snake #2 (Flanked w/ Seelah): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 192d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 = 114d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 3, 5) = 15

Will Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Seelah maintains her composure but is hesitant on how to approach the strange bone snake.

But seeing Griss' bravery snaps her back into action, where she attempts to pile the heat on to the same snake!

Longsword 1: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 322d8 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 = 11

Longsword 2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 182d8 + 4 ⇒ (2, 6) + 4 = 12

Can't let you have all the fun eh?
Seelah then pushes on the snake with her shield.

◆Strike
◆Strike
◆Raise Shield

Johnny shrugs off the venom and resists the dance's effect for the most part.

Knab makes good use of his knowledge and his clan dagger to nearly shatter the skeleton's spine in one blow. Seelah strikes at the bone snake in the doorway, her first blow cracking off a few ribs.

The third snake in the pit strikes repeatedly at the outnumbered dhampir down there with the bone snakes. He feels the fangs break his skin again and again, the venom seeping into his muscles.

DC 22 Basic Reflex Save from 1 and 2, Electricity Damage: 3d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4, 2) + 4 = 14

Horatio's lightning crackles between the two necrophidiuses.

The necrophidius in the doorway throws itself against Seelah over and over, but her armor keeps its fangs at bay.

Johnny will stab at snake 5 first until destroyed, then go to 3, then to 4.

Nat 20 means crit, so deadly d8 dmg: 1d8 ⇒ 5
Not sure what their ac is, but that 25 might be a crit deadly d8: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Johnny: You forgot your Fortitude saving throws, so I'm using the first two d20s you rolled as your saves: success, failure. Leaving you Stunned 1 for your turn, which leaves you with one more action (presumably another attack).

Johnny cracks the necrophidius in just the right place (nat 20). The construct collapses among the bones on the floor of the pit, leaving Johnny with only two enemies in the pit with him.

"Hang on Johnny, I'm coming to help." Then with a daring leap, Griss jumps down into the pit. Upon hitting the bottom, he stands while swinging his weapon.

◆Stride

Sorry, didn't see it.
Johnny slashes again, this time at snake 3 hit: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 14 - 4 = 14 dmg: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4) + 3 = 8

Is snake 5 dead? Not on the init tracker but still on the map.

Staring down at skeletal snake directly below him, Kang raises his staff with both hands and with a brief gesture, sends it flying down at it.

vs 3: hand of apprentice (+1 striking staff of fire): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17 bludgeoning damage: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 = 8

Kang catches the returning staff with almost casual ease and immediately starts chanting a spell, sending an arc of electricity blasting the two in the pit.

vs 3 & 4: electric arc: 3d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2, 2) + 4 = 9 Basic Ref 21

Griss smashes the necrophidius in the doorway with his flail, even if the spirits infusing him had little impact. Kang sends his staff into the pit, but it glances off of the bone construct. His lightning has mixed results: the first manages to slither completely out of the way (natural 20), the second is struck by the full force.

The snake behind Seelah begins to writhe and dance, threatening to entrance you all.

Down in the pit, the two necrophidiuses strike at Johnny, over and over. One manages to get in a lucky strike that sinks in very deep (natural 20 turns miss into hit, maximum regular damage). The one dazzled by the glittering dust seems to be having trouble and keeps bashing its head against Johnny's armor.

NOTE: I made a mistake last round with Johnny and the poison. He should have been paralyzed, but no take backs so we continue on. Henceforth I will apply the poison effect correctly on a failed save.

Delaying until after Seelah (Flanking)!

Gracelessly, Knab topples himself into the pit!

"Hold on Johnny"

Falling with low gravity, if there is any noticeable dampening of the THWUMP with which he lands, he notices it here, and takes mental note. 25 feet down, planted on the breast of his plate, one strong arm pushes him back to a standing position - the other raises his clan dagger in anticipation of attack from the now-adjacent necrophidius.

◆) Leap (no skill feats)
◆) Stand
◆) Parry (to AC 25)

fort: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31 being unaffected by poison or paralaysis, he stabs number 3 until destroyed, then goes to 4 hit: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20 dmg: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3) + 3 = 7
hit 2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 dmg: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4) + 3 = 10
hit 3: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 dmg: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3) + 3 = 7

Knab waits for Seelah to strike--or not, depending upon the strength of the champion's will--before he leaps into the pit to defend Johnny. He falls slower than expected and only skins his knees and palms (3 bludgeoning damage) after falling the twenty five feet.

Johnny fights on in the pit, cracking old, glued and wired bone again and again as he slowly wears down his foes.

THWIMP

Unexpected hang time squeezes a chuckle out of the dwarf before he lands with considerably less force than expected.

Rising with his clan dagger in a defensive hold, he points to the necrophidius between him and Johnny, and smiling through yellowed and missing teeth, curls that same plump, round, sausage finger upwards with the "come here" gesture, hoping to draw it's attention away from the battered dhampir.

Will vs Dance of Death: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 1 = 30

Griss slams his warfail into the nearest creature three times rapidly, hoping to put it down before it could poison him.

War Fail: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32Damage:Bludgeoning: 2d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 9) + 4 + 2 = 19

I can only chose the special damage once per rage, so no negative damage this combat I guess.

Oh. I see I misread Griss' actions last turn. Should work for the better. Also, negative wouldn't work any better against these constructs.

Griss proves too stubborn to be entranced and promptly smashes the necrophidius next to him. This allows him to stride across the pit (EDIT:) into a flanking position with Knab and swing at the other necrophidius, cracking the construct's skull soundly but not destroying it.

It feels for moment that Phillipton may have drunk a bit too much wine as he feels a bit woozy. Phillipton staggers forward to the other side of this snake-thingy, and tries to burn it to pieces.

Shield time.

◆ Strike

Horatio burns the necrophidius, reducing it to a pile of charred bones.

I'm just going to move on rather than revising Seelah's actions in hopes of making it to another encounter soon.

The necrophidius in the pit strikes out blindly. It slams its head against Knab, obligingly, and Griss. It also strikes at empty air, clearly its senses are impaired.

Analyze Weakness: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

Optimistic, he then turns around with great curiosity and tries to "gravity jump" out of the pit!

Knab finishes off the last of the necrophidiuses with a well aimed blow to its constructed spine. He then jumps and rises much higher than normal--roughly six feet straight up--but nowhere near the depth of the pit. As he falls back down, he sees three necrophidiuses rising out of the bones but they're gone in a blink.

You can get yourselves out of the pit without further checks and then heal up.

Johnny gets out of the pit. Yes, I need treat wounds again, I'm hoping this mission doesn't have a time limit with all these distortions.

Knab climbs out of the pit and tends to his own minor scrapes, and makes sure to "keep ahead" of Johnny for the coming corridors, turns, and forks of these next sections of the Maze.

Treat Wounds vs DC 15 (Medicine, Expert, 10 minutes): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 172d8 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11

GM - please place Knab "ahead" of Johnny in Marching Order!

Seelah looks on helplessly unable to heal Johnny with the power of Iomedae.

let's see if there was anything more than snakes beyond these doors

Seelah does a cursory check of each of the doors not expecting to find much beyond them.

If nothing she falls back into marching order at the front and prepares to move onward.

"Time limits!" Little Wekk snorts, unsure if the pun was intended or not - then on a whim "Heraxia!" he calls out the name, wondering if there is anyone there.

"Saw three more of those skeletal snakes - necrophidiuses was it?" he points the direction they went to "Should we give chase?"

Kang spends a moment to study the remains of the snakes. "Hmm, interesting. Not animated by negative energy. Pure constructs, it seems."

He eventually realises that the party is moving on and quickly catches up.

"Why not?"

"Seems like a thing we need to do." Griss replies to Moken. "At the very least we need to prevent other agents from running into those things."
