[Outpost V] PFS 2e Quest #9: Wayfinder Origins (Inactive)

Game Master MauveAvengr

Yeah, that's fine.

Sorry! I had no idea you were waiting on a separate post for the Reflex save. I usually include things like that in my normal turn post, so the feed doesn't get cluttered with out of turn posts. I apologize.

Question: Since the Nexus can be damaged, should it have taken fire damage when Apollo started combat with a fireball centered in the room?
From above: Fireball: 6d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 5, 5, 2, 2) = 22, 20' burst. Basic Reflex DC 22

Apollo tries to avoid the electricity, but fails.
Reflex DC 23: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Angered by the continued electricity blasts from the nexus, he focuses his energy and sends off a fire ray.

Fire Ray: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
Fire Damage: 6d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 1, 6, 2, 3) = 21
Cost: 1 Focus Point. Note: Oracular curse goes from Minor to Moderate. He is concealed, and everything is concealed from him.

Apollo then tries moving a safer distance away from the machine.

◆◆ Fire Ray, ◆ Stride

The dwarf moves to try to flank the nexus (if it is possible to flank) and punches it with a flurry before to cast Shield (+1AC).

+1 striking Tiger claw:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Damage: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 7) + 3 = 13

+1 striking Tiger claw:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Damage: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 3) + 3 = 11

@Apollo, yeah, I'll allow a bit of a recon on that.

And.... it roll a nat 1 on it's save.

Between Apollo's massive fireball, Mandower striking out at it, and Dran'Thul pummeling it, the nexus slowly falls apart. Stone by stone, shard by shard, whatever it was falls into a small heap. The electricity in the air seems to dissipate too, leaving the whole room quiet.

Examining the wyrwood, anyone can pull off an archaic wayfinder off it's neck. Embedded into this wayfinder is a small stone that looks like it came from the nexus.

Beyond the wayfinder, nothing else of note is in this room.

The Pathfinders can continue exploring. The few other doors in this complex seem locked... until one of the doors open. In this room, a collection of clockwork tools, shattered stones, and rotting piles of vellum fill shelves in the workspace. Large metal panels removed from the facility's walls lie in the center of the room. Etched into these panels are meticulous blueprints for a wayfinder identical to the one Muesello lent to the party. Each panel is signed "Preserver."

The Pathfinders can deduce something about the wayfinder in their possession, after analyzing the room. It has an arcane assistant activated by speaking a password last updated 3,405,829 days ago.

With records in hand, the Pathfinders return to the Kingfisher. Muesello is thrilled by the discoveries. "Well done, well done Pathfinders! Here, I promise you that you're first in line to obtain the next generation of wayfinders. How's that for ya!?"

And we're done with this scenario. Thank you for playing.

When Muesello shows so much appreciation for the discoveries, Apollo sheepishly says, "Well yes, let's just say it's a good thing those blueprints were etched into the metal panels, because otherwise ... well, they very well might have burned." He shrugs and adds, helplessly, "Sometimes that happens, you see." The oracle casts Produce Flame to create a ball of fire, which he quickly puts out.

The halfling nods to Mandower, Dran'Thul, and the giant-sized Griss. "It was a pleasure, gentlemen. With a little halfling luck, our paths will cross again." He heads off into the sunset, bathed in the colorful rays of Sarenrae's light.

Well a mission without any problem. That's fine for the monk sent as helping hand.

He nods to Apollo.

Nice to have fight at your side as well. Let's see what the karma and Irori have in store for each of us next.

He stays quiet then with his arms one over the other.

"That was something, but at least it ended well."

Griss grins "See all you at the next gathering at the latest."
