GM Otha’s The Moonscar (Inactive)

Game Master Otha

If the monsters are useless, the game is not fun. I'm happy when some things do get through once in a while! ;)

Yes, we could be facing snake lady, vampire lady and a Balor. It could be worse. Just take a short nap and the rest of us will take care of business. :)

Zaarah's eyes narrow as she assesses the situation, understanding the danger they're in. She quickly communicates the information she has about the marilith and nalfeshnee demons to her companions.

“Everyone, be prepared! The marilith is highly resistant to damage, and the nalfeshnee can fly and unleash devastating beams of writhing light. We need to act fast and tactically!“

"Were... RABBITS!!!! GAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!"

Btw, everyone who was previously affected by Agata's Fortune hex is now immune to it for 1 day (and it has expired, of course).

Ring of Seduction - Combat (Slide 1)

Strongly Chaos-Aligned and Evil-Aligned: Nonevil or nonchaotic creatures take a –2 circumstance penalty on all Intelligence-, Wisdom-, and Charisma-based checks in the Moonscar. This penalty stacks with itself for creatures that fall into both categories (-4).

Impeded Magic: To cast a spell or use a spell-like ability with the good or lawful descriptor, a caster must make a concentration check (DC 20 + the level of the spell).

Marta immediately fires up her judgement and casts Greater Lend Judgment on Theo.

Both she and Theo benefit from +3 sacred bonuses to AC and saving throws. I got the feeling he's going to need it.

Flint clicks his heels together and he feels a burst of speed. He banes his bow against evil outsiders. He begins his attack routine with the nalfeshnee.

"Focus, on the big one first. If you can."

While Marta casts buffs on herself and Theo, Flint fires off a barrage of arrows at the corpulent demon…

Miss<=50: 1d100 ⇒ 58
Miss<=50: 1d100 ⇒ 33
Miss<=50: 1d100 ⇒ 51
Miss<=50: 1d100 ⇒ 11
Miss<=50: 1d100 ⇒ 8
Miss<=50: 1d100 ⇒ 98

…and while they all look to be accurate, three of the arrows strike and pierce deeply, seriously wounding the abomination, and the other three seemingly go thru it and deflect off the walls. Flint grimaces in frustration as he saw this in the previous fight; he’s reasonably certain Betcezia has buffed her companions and will not repeat her mistake in underestimating the Pathfinders again…

Betcezia flies up 30’ and with a flick of her wrist answers in kind, sending 5 magical bolts at Flint…

Magic Missile: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 4, 2) + 5 = 19

…and they thump repeatedly into the dwarf…

I know some of you have temp hp so just let me know and I’ll make corrections as we go…

The Magic Missile spell bounces harmlessly off of Flint's long lasting Shield spell (courtesy of his Staff of Minor Arcana).

@GM Otha - No damage for Flint.

The dwarf smiles at Betcezia.

"You have your tricks and we have ours."

Zaarah flies forward and casts an empowered cosmic ray spell on the large frightening demon!

^^^ Someone likes to roll dice!

Missed<=50: 1d100 ⇒ 77

Zaarah’s ray gets thru to the nalfeshnee, seriously damaging the abomination…

A barrier of spinning blades appears, from wall to wall, from ceiling to floor, separating Zaarah from the rest of the party…the marilith then flies towards Zaarah, her own blades spinning in her hands..

Alie Hastes as many party members as her magic can affect.

@GM Otha - Flint did not take any damage from the Magic Missile attack due to his Shield spell (cast from his staff) so he is at full Hit points. :)

Alie casts Haste to support her companions…

Alie caster level check vs Sweet Mawd SR 22: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21 Unless Alie has a bonus of some sort vs Spell Resistance, Sweet Mawd is NOT included in Haste.

Agata glares at the wall of spinning blades with irritation. "That ain't nearly neighborly of ye!" She wiggles her fingers and mutters some foul curse words...

Dispel Magic vs Blade Barrier, myrhh: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 17 + 1 = 27

Meanwhile, Sweet Mawd draws a wand of Protection From Evil and taps her mistress with it.

Agata is unable to dispel the blade barrier…but her spell penetrates thru the blade barrier…and just misses the marilith…

No melee, but the barrier does provide an AC bonus to her (and it works both ways so those of you on the other side would get it as well)

Sweet Mawd protects her mistress with a spell…

The severely wounded nalfeshnee glares at you fiercely, preparing to act…

Having to research something; will post in a little while with its action…

GM, just double checking to make sure you have the math right on the Dispel check. According to the Knowledge check you gave us earlier, the Marilith is casting spells at Caster Level 16. According to Dispel Magic, the DC to dispel a spell is 11 + the caster level of the spell, in which case 27 should have *just* succeeded. Of course there may be other things in play here that we are not aware of so no worries if that's the case but just wanted to check because personally Dispel Magic is one of those things that I have to reread every time it comes up.

And, again just double checking, the Enervation spell targets *touch* AC but it still missed?

Agata, she’s a more advanced marilith and is caster level 17; t’was my bad as I forgot to modify that aspect of her stats since they aren’t listed in the scenario and I had to cut and paste from the basic; sorry, I modified it in the other places but I obviously missed it on caster level…and I’ll double-check, but it looked like the other just missed her modified touch AC (cover from Blades Barrier, protection from good, and mod from being advanced)…

@Agata - Your character should probably prep Dimension Door going forward. It is just so handy and always works. Dispelling effects is generally a 50/50 unless you have a way to radically increase your caster level. Still it would have been great if it had worked. :)

I confirmed her Touch AC is 25 vs any attack action vs good aligned PCs. And sorry again for the confusion…post incoming…

The nalfeshnee mutters some words, aimed at the dwarf who defied his companion’s magical bolts…

Greater Dispel: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

…and Flint feels some magic leaving him…

Flint, you could lose up to three spell effects (3 per 4 caster levels), starting with the highest caster level one continuing on down; as my weakest point is magic, could you please tell me what effects you lose here, if any?

@GM Otha - Death Ward CL 7, Barkskin CL8 and Endure Elements CL 1 are all dispelled. All of his other enchantments can not be dispelled with the demon's dispel check of 19.

@GM Otha - My understanding of the Blade Barrier spell is that it only provides cover against attacks going through it. As Flint has Improved Precise Shot he should be able to ignore this cover bonus completely as he shoots through the gaps in the spell. If you disagree I can have Flint step through the barrier first before attacking. Please let me know what you think so I can take my turn. :)

Not willing to pierce the wall of blades, Marta decides to wait and do additional buffing in the form of a shield spell and get her bane going against chaotic outsiders. She also takes the time to tuck her spear away as it may come down to ranged weapons if the wall is not dispelled, which suits her just fine as long as crazy Zaarah gets back on the right side of the wall.

@Flint: I might be missing something but wouldn’t it dispel Shield before Endure Elements since the Staff of Minor Arcana is considered CL8?

And yes, you are correct; from it’s description, Blade Barrier does not block LOS, providing cover (+4 AC)…but that’s not total cover so Improved Precise Shot ignores that…

@GM Otha - My understanding of the UMD and staffs is the following. A successful UMD check for a spell trigger item puts the spell on your class spell list. As Flint is a 9th level Inquisitor (and now has Shield on his class spell list due to UMD) he can cast Shield with his full caster level of 9 as he is using a staff (and not a wand). Do you agree?

Roger, after reading I confirmed I suck with magic, I concur; thanks Flint

Flint decides that he had enough with the Nalfeshnee and tries to put him down for good. He relies on his zen training to shoot through the gaps in the barrier. He maintains his bane on his bow and uses his monk abilities to squeeze out an additional attack (KI point spent). If the Nalfeshnee goes down he then targets Betcezia (and possibly even the Cloven Sister if Betcezia falls as well) with the remaining arrows.

Miss Chance 50 or less is a miss due to displacement. Arrows 1-7.

Arrow 1: 1d100 ⇒ 57
Arrow 2: 1d100 ⇒ 61
Arrow 3: 1d100 ⇒ 54
Arrow 4: 1d100 ⇒ 100
Arrow 5: 1d100 ⇒ 79
Arrow 6: 1d100 ⇒ 43
Arrow 7: 1d100 ⇒ 80

Critical Damage, Arrow 7: 2d8 + 54 ⇒ (2, 4) + 54 = 60

Flint drops the nalfeshnee with his first arrow, the floor shakes and reverberates after a loud thud; he then lands four arrows accurately into Betcezia, severely wounding her…

Marta casts additional buffs in prepping for her next attack…

Betcezia casts something…

…and a green fog surrounds those on the other side of the barrier, poisoning them…

No visibility beyond 5’; everyone in the fog takes 1d4 ⇒ 3 CON damage; make a DC26 Fort Save for half damage

@GM Otha - Flint has Delay Poison up so is immune to the Cloud Kill spell as it is a poison effect so he will not be taking any Con damage. I believe that Marta has it up as well. It is such a good spell as the poison effect comes up so frequently. :)

Theo Fort DC 26: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (6) + 21 = 27

I believe Extended Delay Poison, Communal has been part of Agata's standard spell loadout cast every day, which would cover us for 34 hours divided by however many recipients needed it (if Flint and Marta have been casting their own versions, I think that would mean 5 recipients, or about 7 hours duration). How much time has passed since we left the Fairy Ring retreat at the start of this day's adventuring?

If we are not covered by the Communal Delay Poison, Agata can activate Aura of Purity on her turn to give immunity to everyone within 10' (I don't think I activated it before we entered this room).

Agata Fort save if needed DC 26: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29
Sweet Mawd Fort save if needed DC 26: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

@Agata - Your character should probably prep Dimension Door going forward. It is just so handy and always works. Dispelling effects is generally a 50/50 unless you have a way to radically increase your caster level. Still it would have been great if it had worked. :)

Good suggestion. I don't usually prep it because level 4 is the sweet spot for her Quickened spell slots (Ill Omen and Enervation).

Agata, she’s a more advanced marilith and is caster level 17; t’was my bad as I forgot to modify that aspect of her stats since they aren’t listed in the scenario and I had to cut and paste from the basic; sorry, I modified it in the other places but I obviously missed it on caster level…and I’ll double-check, but it looked like the other just missed her modified touch AC (cover from Blades Barrier, protection from good, and mod from being advanced)…

Thanks for the clarification!

She activates her arcane art swiftly to make Mesh more powerful.

Swift action:Spending 1 arcane pool point as swift action to make her Black Blade +4 into a +5 weapon and additionally Keen, Flaming Burst

Zaarah flies back 5 ft and targets the demon now with a hex!

“You definitely should cool down you evil b+$&+!!“ Zaarah shouts out.

She concentrates and suddenly a storm of ice and freezing wind envelops Betcezia!

takes 3d8 points of cold damage Fortitude DC 25 half : 3d8 ⇒ (3, 5, 7) = 15

Ice Tomb (Su) Effect: A storm of ice and freezing wind envelops the target, which takes 3d8 points of cold damage (Fortitude half). If the target fails its save, it is paralyzed and unconscious but does not need to eat or breathe while the ice lasts. The ice has 20 hit points; destroying the ice frees the creature, which is staggered for 1d4 rounds after being released. Whether or not the target’s saving throw is successful, it cannot be the target of this hex again for 1 day. FAQ: “A storm of ice and freezing wind envelops the creature…,” so it only affects creatures, not objects. The target doesn’t need to eat, breathe, or drink. The general assumption for effects is if the creature negates the damage from the effect, the creature isn’t subject to additional effects from that attack (such as DR negating the damage from a poisoned weapon, which means the creature isn’t subject to the poison). Therefore, a cold-immune creature takes no damage from the hex and can’t be imprisoned by it. A target that succeeds at its save takes half damage and is not imprisoned. Under temperate conditions, the ice lasts 1 minute per witch level. In tropical environments it might only last half as long. In cold environments where ice and snow persist without melting, it might last indefinitely.

Just so I don;t have to deal with anything, here is her save for the poison.

fort save, shake it of and RoTP: 1d20 + 21 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 21 + 6 = 35, so no effects because of stalwart even if she does not have air bubble.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29

Betcezia, whom Zaarah can barely see behind the Nalfeshnee corpse, avoids the icy prison and is able to shake off the frost damage due to her nature…

The Cloven sister moves down 5’ and issues a vicious attack against Zaarah, her swords striking blindingly fast, especially her primary one…

…and all but two blades slash wickedly across Zaarah’s body, opening two from which she bleeds profusely…to add insult to injury, the marilith’s tail grabs hold of her and starts to squeeze…

Impeded Magic: To cast a spell or use a spell-like ability with the good or lawful descriptor, a caster must make a concentration check (DC 20 + the level of the spell).

@GM Otha - The Maralith gets a free constrict with the grab. So that is additional damage and Crushing Coils effect as well. Of course Zaarah can try to parry the tail attack away if she likes. Zaarah will also be taking much less lethal damage than you currently see on the board due to Ablative Barrier and Defending Bone. This is a good thing. :)

"She cannot stand alone. We need to get in there!"

Flint carefully times his acrobatic flip through the barrier to avoid the blades. He positions himself in front of Theodric.

Just a 5 foot step. :)

Reflex save vs Blade Barrier, Evasion for no damage, Haste, Hardy, Shake it off: 1d20 + 25 + 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 25 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 41

No damage taken.

From the edge of the cloud Flint can see both opponents well enough (IPS ignores concealment) although his enemies magical protection remains. He maintains the bane on his bow and focuses his KI for another shot on his opponents. He begins with Betzecia and will move to the Cloven Sister should the vampire drop.

@GM Otha - I am going off what I see on the map as the area of effect of the spell. If Flint cannot actually see his opponents after moving then I will revise his actions.

Marta moves into the middle of the room and puts her foot commandingly on the fallen giant, also avoiding the blades...

reflex, shake it off + RoTP: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 18 + 2 = 35

With her eyes practically glowing with righteous indignation, she threatens The Cloven Sister.

intimidate, heroism, halo, planar penalty: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (11) + 36 = 47

"It will all be over soon for you. Zaarah still stands, and your minions are falling like delicate leaves."

Presuming that despite not being able to see Zaarah in the cloud, I hear that she is getting clobbered...

Agata and Swift Mawd both rush ahead together through the cloud and through the barrier.

Not using Duck & Cover because I don't want to be staggered - hope I don't regret it!
Agata Reflex vs Blade Barrier, runeward tattoo, four-leaf clover: 1d20 + 18 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 18 + 1 + 3 = 26 Hmm, DC was listed as 25 in the Knowledge check but I'm guessing it's 27 due to the Advanced template, in which case that's a fail. Agata has Evasion but not Improved Evasion so I guess she takes full dmg. Will wait to see the result of the spell before deciding where to move her and what to do with her standard action.

Blade Barrier caster level check vs Sweet Mawd SR 22: 1d20 ⇒ 7 That should be a success.
Sweet Mawd Reflex vs Blade Barrier: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31 Sweet Mawd has Improved Evasion so that should be no dmg I think. Will also wait to decide her standard action.

P.s. Note to self: always use Duck & Cover.

@Flint: Sorry, I didn’t make the barrier to scale to save map space but it’s 5’ thick/wide so you can’t 5’ step thru it. Also, Betcezia currently has total cover/total concealment to all but Zaarah; she’s cowering behind the huge corpse similar to how she did in the previous room behind the pile of gore (and the corpse is larger than the pile); I only included her on the map since I assume Zaarah would point her out. Feel free to redo your action.

@Agata: Agata, you pass the DC of the barrier, it is 26 even with advanced mods…

ETA: Flint, since you rolled so well on your displacement rolls, you can keep your attack rolls for your next full attack if you wish…

Alie decides that nasty Blade Barrier must come down and casts Greater Dispel Magic.

Dispel Check 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34

@Flint: Since you are later in initiative than Alie, disregard my previous post as far as the 5’ move goes as she will take the barrier down easily…I would rule that the fog would still block your sight beyond 5’ as it doesn’t specify where you’re at in the cloud but since there’s already a 50% miss chance and they don’t stack, you’re action is good to go…with the exception you’ll need to target the marilith…

@GM Otha - That sounds good. Apply all the attack rolls against the marilith instead. :)

Agata (just) passes the check vs the Blade Barrier and with Evasion therefore takes no dmg.

Agata rushes through the cloud, landing on the ground by Zaarah's side, sends some unpleasant magic towards the Marilith, and then places a healing touch upon her wounds. GM, I *think* Agata is out of range of an AoO from the Marilith since she is 15' up and 15' away, but if that's incorrect then she would need to cast defensively (or have Sweet Mawd deliver the touch spell)

Swift action: Piercing Quickened Enervation vs the Marilith
Ranged touch attack, haste: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28
Caster Level vs SR, elven magic, piercing: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 17 + 2 + 5 = 27 Bah, I think you said the Marilith's SR is 31, in which case that's a fail...
Negative levels if I'm mistaken about the SR: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Standard Action: Heal spell on Zaarah. 150 points of healing (and presumably ends the bleeding) but does not remove her negative levels.

Meanwhile, Sweet Mawd retrieves a wand of Cure Moderate in case it might be needed.

Theodric notices all the rabbits are gone... and flies out of the mist, converging on the multisworded fiend!

Shield Slam, HB, HI, HST: 1d20 + 38 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 38 + 4 + 4 + 1 = 63
magic bludgeoning all alignments dmg, HI, HB: 1d6 + 21 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 21 + 4 + 4 = 31

SHIELD SLAM: Any opponents hit by your shield bash are also hit with a free bull rush attack, substituting your attack roll for the combat maneuver check (see Combat). This bull rush does not provoke an attack of opportunity. Opponents who cannot move back due to a wall or other surface are knocked prone after moving the maximum possible distance. You may choose to move with your target if you are able to take a 5-foot step or to spend an action to move this turn.

This is what a SHIELD SLAMMED flying creature might look like LOL

Yeppers, I can definitely envision that!

Alie easily dispels the blade barrier allowing Agata to provide much needed healing to Zaarah as well as stopping her bleeding…but she is unable to pierce the marilith’s SR with her spell…

Theodric flies fiercely into the Marilith slamming her with his shield into the wall…

Fly Check vs DC27: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30

…but she somehow manages to stay aflight and gets a pre-emptive strike with her sword…

Longsword (AoO): 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (19) + 26 = 45
Confirmation: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (2) + 26 = 28
Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (5, 2) + 8 = 15

Flint unleashes a barrage at the Cloven Sister; but while the first arrow strikes true, the rest miss their mark, with two barely missing… (AC37)

Marta boldly moves forward, giving a menacing pose and threatening the demon…and successfully intimidates it!

Betcezia fires three rays of fire at Theodric…

Scorching Ray vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (1) + 23 = 24
Fire Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 5) = 13

Scorching Ray vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (1) + 23 = 24
Fire Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 5) = 10

Scorching Ray vs Touch AC: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (14) + 23 = 37
Fire Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 5, 2) = 11

…and then she flies down the hole to the east…

Wow, she could only miss on a 1 and she missed 2 out of 3; maybe she really does think Theodric is too handsome to scar…

Betcezia (-202)

Ring of Seduction - Combat (Slide 1)

Strongly Chaos-Aligned and Evil-Aligned: Nonevil or nonchaotic creatures take a –2 circumstance penalty on all Intelligence-, Wisdom-, and Charisma-based checks in the Moonscar. This penalty stacks with itself for creatures that fall into both categories (-4).

Impeded Magic: To cast a spell or use a spell-like ability with the good or lawful descriptor, a caster must make a concentration check (DC 20 + the level of the spell).
