[Gameday XI] GM Doug's Cavern of the Sundered Song (Inactive)

Game Master Doug Hahn

Taking a gamble!: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Orin grumbles and does his best to stand menacingly in the way.

Roll me a Nivi die GM!

Sadly a rock slides under Orin's foot, making him slip a little. Not so menacing, but that's random chance for you! Thanks, Nivi! :(

Eltha looks at Kas. Well? You got somethin' to say too?

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28

Kas steps away from Sparkles as the creatures weirdless eyes seem to follow him. "Kreighton didn't have to come back for you. Neither did we. And yet he did. That should mean something." Kas attempts to reason with the hermit. "You have been so detached from humanity that your mind is not thinking straight."

"Detached am I!? Detatch THIS —"

She steps forward, then halts and throws the axe to the ground in frustration. "BAH! Maybe you're right. They say I have a temper. And that I hold a grudge. Who wouldn't? It'll be easier to just go home with Sparkles and think on it. The no-good, incompetent, self-centered, arrogant, annoying, stuck-up scholar can live… for now."

"And lemme make it up to you. I appreciate you coming out for us and you seem like nice enough folks. Take this." She rummages around in her bag and hands you an alabaster wand with a clear crystal at the tip. A Wand of overflowing Life (3rd level).

As she works to free Shaine, you can make a Diplomacy check to make small talk about her time here, or a Perception check.

Chulyin's Perception (E): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34

Chulyin walks over to Seggiatore. He turns his head and murmurs, "Eltha wears a bracelet with a die as a prominent feature. We should ask her about it. Politely."

Nodding to Chulyin, Seggiatore begins making ample small talk with Eltha, asking her about all manner of topics, from diet to recreation to adventures to equipment and clothing maintenance. When he reaches the latter, he will giver her a subtle, simple compliment on her bracelet, as if noticing it for the first time.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (8) + 20 = 28

Wow, that is a nice wan I will certainly be buying it.

Kas takes the wand from her. "Thanks you and thanks for understanding. This transition will be difficult and jarring. A lot of time has passed." Kas knew all too well how difficult this was as he speaks to her of his past, secluded, overworked and beaten constantly left him a bit detached from the world for a long time. The Pathfinder Society helped him find a new path, a way to live, a purpose in his life.

Oh this? I was gonna give it to Irlah for a present. You can have it if you want. She offers you the trinket, which is worth 90 gp and has in inscription on it:

The lender claims to help you out,
But lose a round or two,
That creditor’s relentless
Getting money back from you.

This is your fourth and final song fragment! You don't have them in order but can piece it together in character. You might also be able to out of character from the song fragments you heard at when you went through the portal.

It's time to go back to the village, and head home.

You return to the deep gnome village where Irlah Kestiwhitt and Effeflinn Whyst wait anxiously. Eltha stares angrily at both Effeflinn and Kreighton but doesn’t attempt any further violence.

Irlah suggests an evening’s rest before journeying to the portal. She herself is still packing up her belongings to go back home.What do you say? one more night with the gnomes?

This will put you just under 48 hours; I imagine you left late morning a day and a half before

"I'm inclined to depart as soon as possible, if it's all the same. We can assist with the packing, if that helps. ... For once, why don't we not cut things close?"

"That would be a refreshing change," Chulyin says with a chuckle.

"I had thought that our pantsless friend might need time to recover before traveling... but that hardly seemed the case from the way he ran off. Today has been less harrowing than yesterday. I think that if our rescuees have gathered their things, we should be about as ready to go as we're going to get."

"Wouldn't you rather get out of here as soon as possible. This route could close again at any moment. Take the opportunity while you have it or it could be snatched away and gone in the blink of an eye." Kas explains how there are folks on the other side waiting for all of them.

Orin adds them to his growing page count of lyrics and grumbles "Ready."

"Yes, it's been swell, but my hoard gets lonely if I'm away for too long."

Kohl is ready to return to the Grand Lodge as well.

I had thought that our pantsless friend might need time to recover before traveling.

Plinteff shrugs. Armor's hot, don't you know? You need ventilation! Air flow! I really don't know how everyone does it like it's no problem. He looks at Orin and Kohl for support.

Irlah grumbles a little, but finally frees to go back now. You help pack, and off you go! The deep gnomes sing their song to you once again. They are very excited to hear you have found the complete song — perhaps now they will have a window to the outside world!

You can locate the portal easily. However… there's a problem. The open cavern in front of the portal is filled with dozens of bizarre creatures tearing each other apart, seemingly to reach the portal themselves. Horrific and alien noises ring out and echo back. The floor is slick with blood, and the air burns with acrid fumes.

The monsters are mostly holding each other at bay, but as you watch a you see spidery leg slipping through the portal. What the creature is is impossible to tell from your vantage point.

You need to get across the battlefield!

This is another skill challenge. Each of you must choose one method to get across the battlefield. You need to cross approximately 120 feet to get past the battlefield to the portal. Each of you can use a skill appropriate to your method, such as Acrobatics to avoid attacks, Athletics to shove combatants out of the way, Survival to find a path around the battlefield, or even a melee attack roll to fight through. The DC is 26. Spells and abilities may negate the need for check(s) altogether.

Taking a deep breath, and summoning his best draconic bluster, Kohl shouts, "Everybody, MOVE!" in an attempt to clear a path for himself and the party.

Intimidation: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33

Yendi quickly casts an Air Walk spell on himself, to make a run for the ceiling, "Does anyone else need a lift?"

Acrobatics in case anything still needs dodging?: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

Orin hacks with his pick at anybody stupid enough to get between him and the portal.

attack roll: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (8) + 20 = 28

Seggiatore keeps up with Yendi with a Fly spell of his own.

"Wow, think about how many more would have slipped through by morning," he jokes with the sorcerer as they cruise over the tangle of bodies.

Kohl scares a group of Orvian trolls out of his way. The huge creatures stumble aside in fear as the mighty kobold passes. Orin dashes behind and bashed one out of the way with this shield.

Yendi and Seggiator slip through the air among the stalactites.

Kas and Chulyin are up!

Athletics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
Hero Point: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35

Kas drives in right behind Orin as he helps shove some of the strange creatures out of the way. "Where did they all come from? Is the portal drawing them here?"

Kas Untrained Improv Darklands lore: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

As he pushes a tentacled and beaked… thing out of the way, Kas ponders the situation. Likely, all the creatures here have been drawn by the magic and desire escape from Nivi's realm.

Chulyin draws a sigil in the air with his staff and chants in Druidic. He slams the butt of his staff down on the ground, and a wide bridge erupts from the stone and passes over the milling creatures to come to a rest near the portal. "I should have told them I could do that before they started pushing their way through, should not have I?" he says to the wolf. The two of them hurry across the sky bridge. He waves Shaine and the other lost explorers to follow.

Wall of Stone

As you step into the Archives you are confronted with a scene of chaos! There are terrible creatures running amok; the Pathfinder Swords and Gorm are having a difficult time holding them off. It’s time to save your friends! You knew there would be trouble coming in, you can have reactions before your turn starts, and you have weapons drawn, etc.

There are two towering earth elementals surrounded by an aura of blade-sharp rocks. Spiked Earth — difficult terrain, 2d6 Piercing per square you move into, no save. Aura is marked on creatures and described in full in a spoiler at bottom of the init block. Please take note of that and roll your own damage.

The third creature looms above you, a slavering nightmare of teeth, eyes, and hairy spiderlike legs — its horrific appearance will be seared into your memories forever. Its lidless eyes cover all sides of its body; its joints make eerie clacking and popping sounds as it moves. You cannot help but imagine hearing that sinister sound in a deep dark cavern…

______

Effie and Shain come in behind you. The poet sings:

We’ll push back the peril portal
while you fight a combat mortal.

Shaine mutters: Competently I hope, Effeflinn?

Kreighton and Effeflinn, already aided greatly by Chulyin's stone wall, will work on holding the portal while you deal with the creatures who’ve made it into the Grand Lodge.

The missing Pathfinders jump in behind you, grateful for Chulyin's stone skyway. Irlah shouts: We’ll help too! We owe it to the friends who saved us! She holds out her divine focus — Nivi’s dice! Plinteff nods and tightens the grip on his halberd. Aye. Eltha pats Sparkles, who runs off (terrifying some of the guards along the way). You’re damned right we will, Irlah.

Each round on initiative count 0, one NPC of the players’ choice performs one of the following actions. The NPCs aren’t affected by spells or effects from the PCs. The NPCs don’t provide flanking or block the PCs from moving to any squares.

* Eltha: Cast freedom of movement on a PC (can only be used once).
* Gorm: Make one opponent frightened 2.
* Irlah: Heal one PC for 4d8+32 Hit Points.
* Piltineff: Deal 3d8+10 piercing damage to one opponent.

______
Horrible Spider

The spider-thing skitters forward with blinding speed, and bites Kas!

Jaws: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (17) + 26 = 43
Piercing: 3d6 + 12 ⇒ (1, 6, 6) + 12 = 25 Will not bot a shield block here that would break the shield in round 1

The cleric feels fangs sink in around his neck. To his horror he's then dragged into the air and carried away — leaving a trail of blood on the floor. Improved grab and a special ability that lets it carry around creatures it has grabbed.

Orin tries to get in a swipe —
Pick AOO: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (16) + 20 = 36 Hits, does not crit.
piercing damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 1) + 7 = 11

— he connects, but doesn't do much damage. Not a crit.

Move, Strike + Imp Grab, Move

______
Elemental 2

The elemental moves forward, its aura churning the ground as it approaches. It then tries to maul Kohl.

Fist: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 36
B: 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (8, 6) + 10 = 24

Fist: 1d20 + 21 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 21 - 5 = 29
B: 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (9, 2) + 10 = 21

Move, Strike, Strike

Kohl is pushed back twice against Orin as he takes a beating. Earth elementals are famous for hitting hard. These, unfortunately, hit even harder than most.

Chulyin assesses the battlefield and then repositions himself so that he has line of sight to both battles. He then draws a sigil in the air with his staff and chants, calling forth a lightning bolt.

◆ Stride
◆◆ Lightning Bolt (4th): Reflex DC 27: 5d12 ⇒ (11, 4, 9, 1, 10) = 35

With the origin in the square directly below Chulyin, that should be a straight diagonal line through both elementals and no allies.

The wolf snaps at the elemental before him.

◆ Jaws: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26
Piercing: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 5) + 6 = 19

I understood the aura to only damage if the character moves within the aura. Please correct me if I'm in error.

As the battle begins, Yendi lets out an uncharacteristically fierce battle cry to Demoralize #2 Intimidation to Demoralize as part of initiative: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (18) + 23 = 41

if #2's initial position was more than 30ft away, #1 is still in range

sharp rocks: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6

Yendi stands his ground in the growing rocky spikes and intones "Abominations that think you've found prey, realize now that you stand in the presence of something far greater than yourselves! My companions are no prey for simple spiders! The chains Kas carries so tirelessly will bear you to the ground!! These shards are nothing compared to the way Kohl's roar is destined to crack the Earth! You will see that Orin is more immovable than the walls that held you in Nivi's realm! You will see with all of this that Chulyin's thunder was only the beginning of the wrath he can unleash and I REQUIRE that you show your appreciation!"

◇Shield ◇◇Roaring Applause for all 3 of them with a DC 30 Will save

Yes, only when you move not just standing there. Got the 11 on SpiderThing.

Yendi's shout makes the pebbles between the stones vibrate with fear. Fr. 2

______

Ref 1: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24
Ref 2: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

Both elementals take the brunt of Chulyin's bolt! The wolf hits thanks to the creature being frightened, and the trembling thing crumbles and vanishes into the earth, dropping out of sight. Used a reaction that it chose to trigger when the wolf struck)

Will Rocky 1: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (7) + 19 = 26
Will Horrible Spider: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (17) + 20 = 37

The creatures turn and watch Yendi, seemingly fascinated. The first elemental brute starts applauding — BOOM BOOM BOOM! — rocks fall to the floor as it pounds its massive hands together!

Neat spell, like a Hideous Laughter for a crowd

Elemental 1 applauds! It then decides to throw the earth elemental version of a tomato at its favorite performer! That being a boulder aimed at Yendi's head.

Rock: 1d29 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22

Seggiatore signals Gorm and coordinates with him to shake the toothy spider to its core before the bard unleashes something out of the creature's nightmares to tear at its mind.

Almost before the spell has been completed, the drum is out and Seggiatore is playing a raucous tune that inspires everyone around him.

◇ Delay for the Allies
Gorm frightens the Spider

◆◆ Cast a level 5 Phantasmal Killer on the Spider (DC 27s)
Success: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 2, 3) = 12

Roll a 1: Fort save for 7d6 + 39 ⇒ (1, 1, 3, 5, 1, 2, 3) + 39 = 55 plus fleeing 1 and frightened 4, or die. Though I imagine they are above level 10

◆ Inspire Courage +1s are back in style

Will: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35

Some of the spider-thing's eyes bleed and several widen with fear.

When Gorm screams at the spider horror, hundreds of its eyes bulge with terror! For such a nice dwarf prince, he sure has a mean streak (you might make a note to never get on his bad side). Spidey Frightened 2 per OOC.

______
Spidey

The spire-horror becomes a blur of legs as it skitters around Orin, who misses with his AOO. it strikes at him. In the same clattering movement it rushes at Kas, striking at him as well, and finally for Yendi! Every one of these attacks is made with frightening precision. MaP does not increase till after this Activity.

Leg 1 vs Shielded Orin AC 30, Frightened 2: 1d20 + 26 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 26 - 2 = 39

The elemental rises up and strikes at the people who messed with it: the druid who slung lightning, and the sorcerer who shouted at it:

Inspire Courage, Orin?
Probably don't need the +1 to crit, since it's so clumsy, but 2 more points of damage. :)

Chulyin raises his staff and chants eldritch words to call upon the lightning once more, taking advantage of the horror's sensory overload.

He then calls to the wolf, "Move there and attack the beast!"

◆◆ Cast (V/S): Lightning Bolt (3rd) Reflex DC 27: 4d12 ⇒ (1, 11, 10, 8) = 30

White line looks like it misses Kohls and the wolf wasn't there until after the spell.

Missed the courage (Might even need the +1 to crit given how tough these monsters have been), sorry and thanks!

Orin slams the pick into the spider; ichor spews from the wound!

Chulyin, seeking to capitalize on the clumsy enemy, launches a bolt of lightning:

Spidey Ref, Clumsy 3: 1d20 + 22 - 3 ⇒ (4) + 22 - 3 = 23
Slow mauler: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

The spider takes the brunt of it but still looks quite hale even after all this punishment. The applauding elemental dodges the worst of the blast. The wolf has worse luck.

Kohl smashes away at the elemental

◆Snagging Strike
◆◆Power Attack

+1 Striking Crushing Cold Iron Flail, IC: 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 20 + 1 = 26 for bludgeoning: 2d6 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 7 + 2 = 15
Flat-footed on hit.

+1 Striking Crushing Cold Iron Flail, IC: 1d20 + 20 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (19) + 20 + 1 - 5 = 35 for bludgeoning: 3d6 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4, 1) + 7 + 2 = 16

Crit? Probably not, but prone, enfeebled 1, and clumsy 1 if so.

AoO:
+1 Striking Crushing Cold Iron Flail, IC: 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 20 + 1 = 25 for bludgeoning: 2d6 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 7 + 2 = 14

Continuing on the drum, Seggiatore begins playing a paradiddle that quickly ramps up in speed and volume. Once it reaches the top of the crescendo and sounds more like a drum roll than separate beats, he injects a single magical note into the bubble of music he has created and it erupts out at the spider in a torrent of solid sound.

◆◆◆ Cast 5th level Magic Missile at the main beastie
9d4 + 10 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 4, 1, 2, 1, 3, 4) + 10 = 32
pew, pew, pew

Kas moves into a better position to here he can help Kohl. Reaching out he gives every bit of energy he has to offer to the kobold. "Keep them off of me and stay near."

Heal (Kohl): 5d10 + 40 + 2 ⇒ (5, 10, 3, 6, 7) + 40 + 2 = 73

◆ Stride
◆◆ Heal

Kohl's first attack misses by a hair's breadth.

The second attack causes fractures to appear in the creature's body! Close to a crit, sadly not FF as Snagging missed.

Kas heals Kohl to full!

Irlah presents Nivi's dice and rainbow-colored energy washes over Kas —

Healing: 4d8 + 32 ⇒ (8, 3, 1, 4) + 32 = 48

restoring his old body to full health!

______
Spidey

Spidey bites at Yendi — its tormentor:

Flat DC 5: 1d20 ⇒ 12
Jaws: 1d20 + 26 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 26 - 1 = 42
P: 3d10 + 12 ⇒ (2, 1, 1) + 12 = 16 Doubles to 32 and Improved Grab

Orin intervenes, his shield taking a mighty dent! 22 net damage to Sourcerer and Shield.

The spider-thing then clatters away with its prize 30' move after the Synesthesia — Orin misses with his AOO — and the spider's many pairs of slavering jaws gnaw on him.

Conctrict, Frightened DC 31 Basic Fort: 3d6 + 12 ⇒ (6, 5, 2) + 12 = 25

Its eyes may taste regret, but its jaws also taste Yendi!

______
Rocky

The rock rumbles toward the lightning-slinging druid…

Fist: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (9) + 21 = 30
B: 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (1, 9) + 10 = 20

Fist: 1d20 + 21 - 5 ⇒ (4) + 21 - 5 = 20

More bruises for Chulyin.

fortitude: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20

Hero Point fortitude: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29

Clutching at the silver die he found on himself in Nivi's house, he closes his eyes before wrenching himself sharply to the side, trusting in luck to make it the right time to escape! Roll me a Nivi die, please!

Whether or not that succeeds, he draws on the power in his blood to try to restore his savaged body 2-Action Heal at level 6 from the bonus spell slot

flat check for somatic component if needed because the Nivi escape fails: 1d20 ⇒ 13
