GM Silbeg's 2-25 You Only Die Twice [closed] (Inactive)

Game Master Silbeg

Sarma waits for everyone to gather around him. The Fly does nothing to move out of the way.

Zinkyudo looks down at The Still-Immobilized Fly, then at the wall of fire, then again at The Fly, who continues to not move, before declaring, "For all that I'd like to see the little fellow able to move, the sound investment is almost surely to eliminate that wall of flames. If for no other reason that I object to undue barriers to trade and investment."

He calls on Abadar to strike down the wall, so that he and his fellow Pathfinders can get back to striking down its creator!

Cast dispel magic on the wall of fire. If it works, I'll end my turn. If it doesn't, I'll move over above Karasuma, in reach of Sarma for resist energy.

Dispel Check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Zinkyudo casts his spell, targeting the wall of fire. It flickers for a moment, and then goes away.

You can see that the necromancer has moved, but now there is an immense and grotesque giant in the room!

"Keltheald, give me strength..." Sarma mutters in preparation for the undead horror's assault.

Divine Favor and switching Judgement back to AC and fast healing.

With the fire gone, Karasuma takes to the shadows again!

Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23

"Ah, interesting. You have gotten rid of my wall. You really are living up to your bothersome reputation, Pathfinders."

He points his finger at Zinkyudo and a black ray of negative energy zips across the room. but misses.

ranged touch vs TAC23: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

"Go get them, Sluggo!"

Then the rotting ogre charges forward to attack Sarma! Luckily for Sarma, it misses.
partial charge vs AC24: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 2 = 19

That is gross?
Dorianna, Zinkudo, The Fly, Karasuma, Sarma is/are up.
Conditions: The Fly: 3 temp negative level
Saves Pending: The Fly, DC19 Will (end of turn)

Dorianna moves to provide a flank! Possibly drawing AoO.

Once he has the flank, Karasuma strikes from the shadows!

Elven Curve Blade: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 11 + 2 = 33
Damage: 1d10 + 8 + 3d6 ⇒ (5) + 8 + (1, 6, 4) = 24
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 + 2 = 32
Crit Damage: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

"Oops, missed," Zinkyudo says mildly as he nimbly dodges the black ray of death. His bow creaks briefly before releasing another lightning-fast flurry of arrows at the worm-caster!

Flurry with longbow, swift action to spend a ki point (5/9 remaining) to get an additional arrow with Ki Flurry, using Perfect Strike (1/5 remaining) on first arrow to roll twice and take the better result. With Clustered Shots this time!

1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (18) + 9 - 3 = 24

The fly blinks. He looks PISSED.

zomg

Karasuma moves in and OBLITERATES the zombie! When it does, it EXPLODES!!

Zinkyudo hits three times, this time actually doing very nice damage!

Total on hits: 16+13+13=42 damage, less DR

Wormy calls upon the powers of unlife, and attempts to destroy Zinkyudo's sight!

That is gross?
Dorianna, Zinkudo, The Fly, Karasuma, Sarma is/are up.
Conditions: The Fly: 3 temp negative level
Saves Pending: Zinkyudo DC19 Fort

Will use boost of luck (2/3 remaining) from Four-Leaf Clover to get +2 to Fort save, which becomes +3 due to Fate’s Favored.

Fort, Four-Leaf Clover: 1d20 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 3 = 25

Zinkyudo manages to shrug off the effects of the worm-man’s spell, though he wishes he had not seen Karasuma get covered in exploding zombie bits! Unfortunately, the spell does seem to cloud his vision a bit, and his barrage of arrows is less accurate than usual.

Flurry with longbow, swift action to spend a ki point (4/9 remaining) to get an additional arrow with Ki Flurry, using Perfect Strike (0/5 remaining) on the last arrow to roll twice and take the better result. Clustered Shots in effect.

Longbow damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 14

Sarma waits for an opportunity to land a blow, his holy protections slowly soothing his wounds.

The fly stands and produces a Potion of Fly!

Bzzzt! He dances around excitedly, ready to get back into the action (someday).

Gesturing for Dorianna to hide, Karasuma does the same.

Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 18 = 32

Edit: Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 Whoops.

Zinkyudo avoids being blinded and retaliates, hitting three times!

The fly starts to fly, while Sarma waits for a target and Karasuma hides.

”Ok, that’s annoying. Not a big deal, but annoying” says Jotkan.

He casts a spell as his worms reform. He now seems a little out of place.
Displacement. 50% miss chance.

That is gross?

Conditions: The Fly: 3 temp negative level
Saves Pending:

Zinkyudo taps on the side of his feathered head with an open hand once, then again, as if trying to shake the blurriness from his vision. ”Talk about annoying,” he mutters at the verminous version of Jotkan, ”you are really starting to bug me.” He raises his bow and lets another volley fly!

Flurry with longbow, swift action to spend a ki point (3/9 remaining) to get an additional arrow with Ki Flurry. Clustered Shots in effect.

Sarma continues to wait.

Definitely taking Lunge as his next feat.

The Fly drinks his potion of fly and climbs along the wall, preparing to launch himself at wormy.

Climb: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (10) + 24 = 34 Sure Grasp

Climb: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (10) + 24 = 34 Sure Grasp

5' up sound reasonable?å

Zinkyudo lets fly a flurry of arrows, and three of them hit, dealing solid damage!

Sarma waits while the Fly prepares.

Karasuma?

That is gross?
Dorianna, Karasuma is/are up.
Conditions: The Fly: 3 temp negative level
Saves Pending:

Opening his handy haversack silently, Karasuma pulls forth an alchemical bag and heaves it towards the worms!

Tanglefoot Bag on Wormy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 Probably at least a -2 range penalty.

Dorianna remains below the floor, out of sight.

>50 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 55
Karasuma throws his tanglefoot bag and it hits!
reflex: 1d20 ⇒ 9

The wormy guy manages to avoid getting entangled by the sap. Maybe it was the tiny worms eating it up, or maybe they dodged out of the way.

He then aims his wand at Zinkudo, but misses, and then flies around.
vs touch AC23: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Damage is being dealth
Party is/are up.
Conditions: The Fly: 3 temp negative level
Saves Pending:

The Fly will conquer this mountain of madness!

The Fly pushes himself off the wall and soars across the room — he grabs onto the wormy creature's leg! Or, I hope so…

Sure Grasp, +1 morale bonus vs. creatures at least 1 size category larger, 3 neg level
Climb: 1d20 + 24 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (3) + 24 + 1 - 3 = 25
Climb: 1d20 + 24 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (10) + 24 + 1 - 3 = 32

Then he snaps his fingers and a rapier appears in his velvet-gloved hand. If I climbed it -2 to attack me.

--

if it casts a spell the Fly will use exploitive maneuver:

Annoy Wormie (Immediate Action): 1d20 + 13 - 3 ⇒ (8) + 13 - 3 = 18

It attacks me and misses:

Spend a panache to move underfoot as immediate action.

If it moves away:

keen rapier (15-20): 1d20 + 15 - 3 ⇒ (11) + 15 - 3 = 23
P: 1d4 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

The fly launches himself, but does he find the right man-shaped pile of worms?

>50 is success: 1d100 ⇒ 78

Yes, yes he does!

"Oh, this again."

Zinkyudo hurries along the wall and down a bit, getting closer to Sarma while keeping a watchful eye on the verminous version of Jotkan. "Grab the blue vial from my pack," he says to Sarma. "Drink it and you'll be able to fly like the Fly is flying, and bring the fight to this guy." Aiming a bony, decaying finger at the worm-figure, he adds, "And I'll try to make the fight a little easier for all of us."

Move 15' over and 5' down to be within reach of Sarma, cast dispel magic to get rid of displacement.

Dispel Magic: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Nodding, Sarma delves into Zinkyudo's pack for the designated potion, drinking it down.

Karasuma vanishes again!

Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28

Using his divine bond, Zinkyudo further frustrates "Jotkan" by dispelling his displacement.

"You probably should not have done that, little one." says Jotkan, as he grabs onto the rogue.

grapple vs CMD26: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28

He grabs hold of the The Fly, and then a swarm of worms wriggles out to cover The Fly, nibbling away at him.

swarm damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2) + 3 = 8
Fort save needed DC18 or be nauseated

Oh, that ain’t right!
Party is/are up.
Conditions: The Fly: 3 temp negative level
Saves Pending: The Fly DC18 or Nauseated

"Then we will have to make his distraction worthwhile." Sarma floats up off the floor of the temple, curving in an arc to strike at the worms from the side!

Halberd on Wormy, Power Attack, Furious Focus, Bane, Divine Favor, Fate's Favored: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 13 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 32
Damage, Power Attack, Bane, Divine Favor, Fate's Favored: 1d10 + 9 + 6 + 2 + 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 6 + 2 + (2, 2) + 1 + 1 = 25

Swift action to Bane (Vermin) again, adjusting Judgement next turn if able.

fort: 1d20 + 10 - 3 ⇒ (8) + 10 - 3 = 15

Would have used Exploiutive maneuver against wormie here but I think an 18 fails.

The fly pukes into the roiling mass of worms.

You think this hurts!? Je m’en fous!

Don;t have much to do with a move.

Would have used Exploiutive maneuver against wormie here but I think an 18 fails.

[ooc]Yes, that fails.

Sarma moves up and hits hard causing a pile of worms to fall to the floor, as The Fly gets a mouthfull of worms.

Zinkyudo grins, exposing rotted teeth and gums, and says, ”Lets finish this thing.“ Once again, he lets fly a flurry of arrows at the worm!

Flurry with longbow, swift action to spend a ki point (2/9 remaining) to get an additional arrow with Ki Flurry. Clustered Shots in effect.

Flurry with Longbow, Deadly Aim, Divine Favor, PBS: 1d20 + 15 - 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 15 - 2 + 3 + 1 = 22

Longbow damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 13

Karasuma dodges the projectile vomit and falling vermin, keeping to the darkness.

Not going to spend any more equipment without player sayso at this point.

As Zinkyudo's last arrow strikes the worm that walks, it discorporates into a literal swarm of worms, all of its gear dropping to to the floor. It still hovers, but now the hurling Fly is hovering on his own.

Waiting on Karasuma... will ping him on discord

Karasuma blinks from his shadowy repose and sheathes his curve blade, then drawing forth a bow, brushing over a clasp on his cloak as he does so.

Stowing Curve Blade, Pulling Darkwood Composite Shortbow -- Karasuma has a Swarmbane Clasp.

The worms on the Fly keep eating away at him.
squirming embrace: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 1) + 3 = 9
DC18 Fort or nauseated

The swarm of worms flies down around Sarma, and worms are biting him everywhere.

Saves Pending: Sarma, The Fly DC18 or Nauseated

Doriana, having practiced *something* similar to Karasuma in the past, moves south underground, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

That opportunity comes a brief instant later as she rises up out of the ground...

Karasuma moves up, dropping the bow he was holding and taking a swing at the flying swarm of worms. It is impossible to tell disgust from his features, but the swing is made nonetheless.

+1 Cold Iron Elven Curve Blade (Swarmbane Clasp): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24+2 if Flanking from Doriana applies.

Damage(If hits): 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Sneak Attack (If applies): 3d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 5) = 12 Applying +3 Bleed to swarm if Sneak Attack damage is taken via Bleeding Attack if the Swarmbane Clasp allows it.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Standing strong against the filthy worms, Sarma quickly moves away from the squirming net.

Karasuma hits the worms (sneak attack does not apply) and appears to do decent damage. However, the worms still are wriggling.

The Fly, Zinkyudo?

fort: 1d20 + 10 - 3 ⇒ (5) + 10 - 3 = 12

The fly pulls out an alchemist fire and is about to throw it but throws up instead.

Someone… take this and… kill it… urp…

Frustrated at the lack of a solid target, Zinkyudo drops to the floor and runs across the room! He takes a quick look at the flask The Fly is holding to be sure it's not slimed with halfling puke, then grabs it from the little fellow's hand!

Move action to get to Fly, move action to retrieve alchemist fire from Fly.

The worms continue to nibble at the Fly.
squirming embrace: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 2) + 3 = 11
Plus fort DC18 for distraction (nausea)

The larger pile of worms moves to engulf Karasuma

Zinkyudo tosses the alchemist fire at the verminous Jotkan! He nearly fumbles it, but gets a better grip and manages to direct it at his target! With that done, he pulls out the negative energy wand he bought so very long ago, before this fight even started, and makes ready to use it on The Suffering Fly!

Throw alchemist fire (provokes AoO, if the critter has any reach), draw Wand of Inflict Light Wounds

Alchemist Fire vs Touch AC, Point Blank Shot: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 = 10
Alchemist Fire vs Touch AC, Point Blank Shot: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 27 Re-roll! (Shirt, folio, whatever, 1-star GM)

Damage, PBS: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 Huzzah, 4 points of damage with +50% from swarm traits...

Zinkyudo hits the swarming worms with the fire bomb, which also splashes on himself, Karasuma, and The Fly.

Karasuma, The Fly, Sarma are up

fort I will surely fail: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Urp.

The fly pulls out another alchemist fire and holds it aloft.

Floating over to the beleagured Fly, Sarma takes the proffered flask and hurls it point blank at the swarming worms, praying to his lord for accuracy.

Ranged Touch, Judgement, Divine Favor, Fate's Favored: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 24
Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Switching Judgement to attack bonus and fast healing.

Hoping that his Swarmbane Clasp is not being over-ridden by the power of the swarm, Karasuma backs up and takes a swing at the mass, ignoring the bulk of the fire damage as well due to his time adventuring the planes on behalf of the Society. Not familiar with the creature and trying to save rolls

He takes a step back and readies another swing at the swarm with his blade for when his secretary provides support eschewing the shadows for a brief moment due to the lack of effectiveness against the conglomeration.

Readied +1 Cold Iron Elven Curve Blade (Swarmbane Clasp): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21+2 if Flanking from Doriana applies.

Damage (if hits): 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Doriana quietly moves up to provide her employer with a flank, even though the effectiveness of such remains to be seen. She flails a bit through the mass, attempting to drain any strength from it if possible.

Incorporeal Strike: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13+2 if flanking from Karasuma applies

Damage (If hits) Strength: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Though Sarma's attack does fry a small worm... which falls to the ground all crispy, Karasuma's, powered by his magical clasp, cleaves through many, many worms. The worms collapse into a wriggling mass, though it is apparent that they still have cohesion. (Dying, but not dead) Doriana touches a worm... one of the worms appears to be on the ground, unable to move.

swarm traits mean that single-target effects do not harm them

The swarm seems to pull together a little, and it appears that the splash from the alchemist's fire has dispersed the swarm on The Fly.

The fire on the worms continues.
