PFS2 1-21 Mistress of the Maze (5-8) for PbP Gameday XI (Inactive)

Game Master Thereus, Silver Crusader

The witch's rune burns bright as the new enemies cower to varied degree. Crunch finds success with both swings (and wills the bleeding to cease). The bard pauses to further heal the paladin and prepare her next move.

The snaky creature floats back, some of its wounds stitching back together. Forming an ouroboros shape it suddenly turns blurry.

Step and innate spell. It is now concealed - DC 5 flat check when targeting with an attack, spell, or other effect

Step, Strike x2.

Ashes pulls another arrow and aims at the Rakshasha that was Rindle. "Well played, deceiver! Now play with this!"

Attack on R: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27
Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 6) + 6 = 13

Following that, she will tumble through the former squirrel, then drop her bow and quick-draw her sword.

If Rindle dies before Anjo fires, Anjo uses his first action to Hunt Prey, and the last shot doesn't count

The A-team lashes out at the two targets, but they provide somewhat elusive and only Ashes' arrow and sword and Alonzo's weaker second tooth snap connect.

The rakshasa - sensing the battle turning for the worst - steps back, reaches into the satchel at his hip and chugs from a small vial.

"I agree. Also stop believing everyone who tells us they're a friend."

Krakazh points her wand at Rindle and shouts, "There's No Place Like Home!", firing 3 bolts of sizzling force towards them.

Magic missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3, 1) + 3 = 11

Last round of Inspire Courage

@Zina Only orange needs the flat check to target

Zina thrusts her spear forward to no avail but provides Crunch with the opportunity to strike twice. From the side, three glorious missiles plunge into the rakshasa's small frame and he let's out a freakish squeak.

Chitters takes a few wild swipes at Alonzo before disengaging to flank the paladin for Rindle again.

Deadly: 1d10 ⇒ 10

Rindle should be stuck to the ground via bow crit.

With a flurry of shots with but a pause to examine the strangely strong voidworm taunting the group, the ranger downs both foes - pinning the hapless snake to the nearest tree.

What now Pathfinders?

If Anjo is pleased with the precision of his last flurry, he doesn't show it. Instead the ranger takes a moment to see if Zinadrina needs help to stop bleeding, then he refocuses.

Ashes walks over to Zinadrina to assist with healing and says to her,
"I'd offer the Risky Surgery option, but I think we can stop that bleeding with normal medical treatment."

DC20-Medicine: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26
Healing: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 8) + 10 = 20

"Crunch, do you want in on this?"

DC20-Medicine: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32
Healing: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 5) + 10 = 17

Krakazh lets fly with another couple of missiles (they happen automatically if I want them to) frying the enemies just a little bit more. She goes over to check on them then looks over at Eliza. "You're not going to turn into something now, are you? Where did this thing come from anyway?"

Ashes walks over to Zinadrina to assist with healing and says to her,

"I'd offer the Risky Surgery option, but I think we can stop that bleeding with normal medical treatment."

"Crunch, do you want in on this?"

[dice=DC20-Medicine]1d20+15
[dice=Healing]2d8+10

Zina takes a moment to calm down, and she is restless during the treatment.

"Well, that's too bad. I'd like it rough." She winks at Ashes with arrogant but playful mischief in her eyes. "Still, it's nice to be the one being patched up for once."

Suddenly, she appears to remember something.
"Hey, shouldn't we gather a planar stabilization focus or something from here as well? How's the attunement and stabilization going, Eliza?"

While Ashes applies medicine to Zina's wounds, Crunch utters a few words in dwarven and slaps themselves on the shoulder, instantly restored to full health.

They search about the area, saying further prayers and grumbling about cheats and liars.

Lay on hands, then refocus while Ashes finishes their work

Eliza takes a few measured breathes and the battle ends and the healing process unfolds, turning slightly to Krakazh and Zina . "I'm afraid I have been too focused on maintaining the orb to notice the traitor in our midst. Yes, let's at least continue our search here. the way forward is less certain now, with our supposed guide dead."

The two traitors are truly dead, with only the satchel lying flat next to the rakshasa providing any recompense. Two moderate healing potions remain

As the group heals and others start to look around the area once again, Eliza pauses near a thick shrub not too far away. "As I feared." she sighs.

Moving over to her, you see the likely reason the rakshasa was forced to give up his ruse in this area. The true Rindle appears to have been stabbed in the back and tucked under the hedges, along with the body of a squirrel that can only be the real Mr. Chitters.

Eliza ponders. "We should return them home." and instructs you to retrieve a magical satchel hanging from her belt and store the halfling and his pet’s bodies inside.

After refocusing and searching unsuccessfully for any more focal samples, the group continues on. Hopefully, towards Galt and the Woodsedge Lodge.

--------------------------------

A particularly thick section of the maze’s hedges has grown over massive white structures. What may have been the spires of an ancient temple are now so choked with wild plants they are inaccessible. Even stranger, mounding dunes of red sand are gathered in the open paths between the living walls of the maze.

Go ahead and reset your exploration activities and place yourself in a proper marching order in the corner of the new map where I have placed Eliza.

Anjo keeps an eye out for tracks.

Alonzo, too, takes time to refocus, offering medical services which are wholly redundant after the ministrations of Ashes. Terrific work, there, he says with admiration.

--------------------------------

Alonzo examines the overgrown foliage, trying to discern the origins and whether the overgrowth appears natural or not. Nature +13+1, Expert.

Krakazh takes a moment to refocus on her music as everyone heals up.

She continues keeping an eye out for anything dangerous, following everyone along through the Maze.

Ashes nods to Alonzo. "Family profession. Been doing this since I was knee high to a halfling." Then, bowing her her head she mutters a small prayer to Milani for their guide and his companion.
Sigh.

Snatching up her bow Ashes follows Eliza, avoiding notice while clutching her rapier.

Crunch is once again ready for things to go sideways and the group to be attacked. They keep moving forward with an eye out for trouble, but are nonetheless hunkered down for battle.

Defend. Hammer is drawn.

The tower structure was visible from a distance. Weapons are out for all.

@Alonzo The foliage appears as natural as the rest of the maze, but it has likely been overstimulated to grow wildly by the planar energies that have infested this particular locale.

Stepping into the clearing just in front of the tower, you are not alone. Two humanoids made of earth and gravel and two masked humanoids with blue-gray skin and four arms rise from clearing the detritus at the portal and turn to confront you. New pictures

Anjo shudders as the blows from elemental rain down on Alonzo. But the ranger couldn't help but notice that one of the creatures took the full force of Alonzo's spell. Anjo makes that creature his prey, casts gravity weapon, and fires.

No crit on monster hunter. With the mirror images I am trying to go in some kind of order, so post when you want to and we will tally in that order.

The ranger takes aim at the closest witchwyrd (inscrutable planar merchants with a strange resistance to - and affinity for - force effects) plunging his first arrow in with little trouble.

The witchwyrds respond by producing mirrored versions of themselves and sending a force bolt toward the besieged druid.

Krakazh approves of people standing between her and the bad guys.

@Ashes, I think you'd have to at least step to target anyone, so just the first shot

Ashes slips out and fires an arrow that snaps within the illusion and deflects harmlessly. The bard begins the now familiar battle song and along with Zina heals the poor druid to a suitable level. She curses the elemental as Crunch lumbers forward, finding that warhammer vs rock is not as devastating as it should be. Alonzo rejoins and the arc finds some success once again, though against the other foe.

The elementals swing their might fists once again, this time focusing on druid and witch and repositioning to their advantage.

Anjo unleashes aerial fury against the witchwyrd. The first shot pins its gnarly foot wholly into to the ground. The others smash through the remaining illusions.

Screeching in pain, the immobilized witchwyrd returns the favor against the ranger, but using its unerring force bolts instead. The other advances and thrusts twice as Alonzo succombs. Two crits with the flank, I believe.

The second one isn't a crit (AC is 23, 21 flat-footed), but still enough, I think. Dying 1. Also, relevant.

Zina regards the collapsing dwarf coldly and turns back to her enemies.

@Alonzo --- Fixed - just barely knocked out

Ashes ensures Alonzo's well-being before destroying an image with an arrow. Krakazh intensifies the tune to scramble the witchwyrd before weaving in a damaging litany. Zina protects herself in like fashion while continue the needle curse. Crunch goes on the offense and connects solidly with their first swing. The elemental crumbles and sinks into the ground from the massive blow.

The victory is short-lived though as the elemental resurfaces next to the ranger, rising from the ground to wallop him. Frightened by the multiple witches, the other elemental smashes through a pair of images.

Anjo nearly roars at the elemental for interfering with Anjo's pursuit of his prey. But the blow delivered by the creature is sobering. Nevertheless, the ranger feels compelled to shoot his prey.

Anjo fires a flurry of shots around his assailant befor he uses his fleetness of foot to elude his attack and his prey.

Stride

Challenged by the elemental blockage, Anjo connects with each arrow and the witchwyrd slips into oblivion as the ranger tactically retreats. Seemingly undaunted, the remaining witchwyrd focuses on Zina first --- destroying her illusion completely before casting a spell to surround the paladin in an immobile sphere of force. <<Resilient Sphere>>

Zina sneers at the remaining witchwyrd.

"I'd love to to burst your bubble, but it'll be even more fun if you suffer while watching it."

She's about to cast a spell towards the alien, but a glance at the elemental upon Alonzo's fallen form causes her to reconsider. She steals a glance towards Krakazh, who she deems to be too far back to effectively heal the druid.

The witch curses crudely under her breath, and ◆ Strides between the dwarf and the witchwyrd.

◇ Touching a rune on her leather armor, she retrieves a healing potion and ◆ splashes it on Alonzo's nose.

Moderate Healing Potion: 3d8 + 10 ⇒ (3, 6, 8) + 10 = 27

"Get up and stay back if you can't heal yourself!"

Despite the tough talk, she protects the dwarf even further by ◆ tracing a rune between him and the elemental, discouraging the latter to strike the former.

The old Needle of Vengeance is not sustained on Pink. New one on Purple. DC 25 Basic Will against the 9 mental damage debuff. Damage triggers every time purple takes hostile action against Alonzo.

Retrieval Prism was used to retrieve the healing potion as free action.

Last round of inspire courage

"Hey, that's not what I meant! Use your stinky hands." Krakazh aims her silly words toward Pink, but after a moment the tone becomes acidic and painful.
